‘The right thing to do’
Forest Hills custodian resigns to save co-worker’s job By Forrest Sellers
fsellers@communitypress.com
For custodian Don Quehl it was just the right thing to do. Quehl recently resigned from the Forest Hills School District so another co-worker could keep his job during the recent layoffs. The district made staffing cuts following the May 5 defeat by voters of its proposed 6.9-mill continuing operating levy. “I knew in my heart it was the right thing to do,” said Quehl, who has been a custodian at Anderson High School for five years. His thoughtful act kept custodian Larry Bolender from being laid off. Quehl, 62, said Bolender stopped by his home to personally thank him. “I told him, ‘I want you to go back to work,’” said Quehl. He said he couldn’t help but be moved by Bolender’s appreciation. “You know you’ve done the right thing,” Quehl said. During a luncheon for the custodians conducted by the Anderson Athletic Boosters, Quehl’s peers said their goodbyes as well as gave him a personalized cake with the words “Our Hero” in icing. “Honestly, I (haven’t) got the

Quehl plans to spend time with family as well as indulge in two of his passions, University of Tennessee and Cincinnati Bengals football games. Quehl, who is a resident of
Anderson Township, will also be back at the high school every so often. “I’ll go to some of the soccer and baseball games I couldn’t go to (before),” he said.
Son’s cancer experience essay wins award By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com
More than 30 years after Sammy Sovilla died of cancer, he was honored with an award. Sammy, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 1974 when he was 4 years old, was selected as an “Unsung Hero” by a local cancer support center. His mother, Sally, an Anderson Township resident, wrote an essay about his experience and said she was surprised to learn Sammy was selected for the award. “I was just flabbergasted and it really was wonderful,” Sovilla said. In addition to the essay, Sovilla wrote a book about the experience of having a child with cancer, “Daddy, Them Didn’t Fix Me.” Sovilla said that when Sammy first started to experience pain one

“It was really great therapy for me,” she said. “Writing about your child is so comforting. You can read it years later and it’s like it happened yesterday.” Sovilla said she hopes her experience can help other families and said there are many more treatments and support groups today than there were in the 1970s. “Just being there as much as you can for your child and having faith is important,” Sovilla said. “On the good days, (have) as much fun as you and the family can together and on the bad days, (do) all you can to reassure your child and make them feel safe and loved.” Sovilla still keeps up with medical advances in treatment but said it’s still frustrating that neuroblastoma is still a cancer that doesn’t have a successful cure rate.

areas and a small lake for dogs and their owners to enjoy. “It turned out way better than I though it would,” Ross said. “All the dogs seem so happy when they’re here.” Owner Bob Slattery said approximately 325 dogs came to the park after it opened for a temperament test, which ensures the dog will play well with other dogs at the park, and 80 to 90 percent of them passed and bought some form of
membership. Though the park is already a successful addition to the village, Slattery isn’t done yet. He’s recently bought the gas station and convenience store next to the park in order to turn it into a “Wagomat,” which will double as a gas station and dog washing facility with two aisles of dog toys along with the standard store fare. “We like to do things no one’s ever done before,” he said.

Parent wants daughter with disability in classroom Parent Terry Bond wants her daughter to get an education. However, Bond doesn’t think she’ll get that education in the “multiple handicapped classroom” at Anderson High School. Bond, who is a resident of Anderson Township, wants her daughter, Lindsey, to be able to attend classes at Turpin High
School. Bond said Lindsey, 16, has development delays and a severe sensory processing disorder. Although Lindsey is not autistic, some of the characteristics she exhibits are similar to autism, said Bond. Lindsey had attended classes with the assistance of a para-professional at Nagel Middle School. Bond said her daughter is capable of learning but
feels the multiple handicapped classroom focuses more on training. Although legally not permitted to comment on specific student cases, Besty Ryan, director of student services for the Forest Hills School District, said the district complies with all mandates related to services provided to students with disabilities. “We are also committed to and required to provide a ‘free and appropriate public
education’ to our students with disabilities in what is referred to as the ‘least restrictive environment,’” said Ryan via e-mail. Ryan said this environment is determined based upon a student’s individual needs. A due process hearing to determine where Lindsey will continue her studies has been scheduled. Bond said a decision by the hearing examiner will likely be made in August.

Mercy Anderson part of national care initiative By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com
Mercy Hospital in Anderson Township is on the forefront of an initiative to improve the quality of patient care. Patricia Schroer, president and chief executive officer of Mercy Anderson, said the hospital is one of 14 hospitals nationwide that is participating in the nurse-led collaborative. “We are taking our frontline nurses who are at the bedside with our patients and we’re going to have them create, design and implement a program for caregiving ... that can really drive us to improved patient care and patient safety,” she said.

The collaborative is part of an initiative by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Aligning Forces for Quality, and the foundation gave $300 million to the 14 selected hospitals for the program. Craig Brammer, director of Cincinnati Aligning Forces for Quality, said most hospitals have excellent care, but there is room for improvement and these changes are often made by front-line staff such as nurses. Mercy Anderson will create and test patient care models and share the results with hospitals across the country after the three-year program is complete, Schroer said. “In today’s technologically-charged environment, our nurses are doing a lot of things that are required by laws or regulations, and that takes them away from being at the bedside,” Schroer, a former nurse, said. “That’s always been a struggle for nurses because they very much want to be with the patients and the patients’ family.” She added that the initiative will have both a local and global effect.

Graduates honored, scholarships awarded Clough United Methodist Church continued its “end of the school year” tradition of honoring its graduates and awarding scholarships during the Sunday service May 31. High school graduates recognized for their achievements included Turpin High School graduates Sebastian Gely, Cameron Simpson, and Emi Wessel; Western Brown High School graduate Danny Reveal; and Miami Valley Christian Academy graduate Ben Jarrell. Graduates plan to attend the following universities
this fall: Sebastian, University of Missouri; Simpson, University of Akron; Wessel, Ohio State University; Reveal, University of Cincinnati; and Jarrell, University of Cincinnati. College graduates Adrienne Reinert and Tricia Corwin were both recognized for receiving their bachelor’s degrees this past year. Reinert graduated from University of Cincinnati with a degree in business administration and Corwin graduated from Morehead State University with a degree in social work. Six students received
scholarships from the Beatrice Jackson Memorial Scholarship Fund. Scholarships were awarded to high school graduates Gely and Jarrell for their freshman year. Jeremy Adams (Cincinnati State), Kyle Baker (University of Cincinnati), Megan Sutherland (Ohio State University) and Abby Von Wahlde (Northern Kentucky University) received scholarships to continue their ongoing college careers. This scholarship fund was established at Clough United Methodist Church by
Beatrice Jackson, a devoted member of the church. Jackson played the organ and accompanied the church choir for more than 60 years. She valued hard work, education and a faithful spiritual life. Her willingness to help others lives on through the scholarship endowment she established to help college students who are church members. The scholarships were awarded by Ray Merz, brother of Beatrice Jackson. Each student received $1,250 for the 2009-10 academic year.

Niehaus knew role as team player By Anthony Amorini
Scouting report
aamorini@communitypress.com
Missing out on most of the Cincinnati Bengals’ games this winter was a necessary sacrifice for a selfless Joey Niehaus. Niehaus, a 2009 McNic h o l a s graduate and selfproclaimed Bengals’ fanatic, spent Sundays during his senior year volunteering. While the boys in stripes were being battered on a weekly basis, Niehaus was spending every Sunday afternoon with the elderly at SEM Haven Health & Residential Care Center in Milford. “I missed most of the Bengals’ games, but last year it didn’t matter,” Niehaus joked of the situation. “I made a lot of good relationships with the residents and I got a lot out of it.”
• Named “Captain of the League” following Greater Catholic League baseball season • Second team All GCL Central Division for baseball • National Honor Society • Four Year Scholar Award • Outstanding Leadership Award • President’s Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence • State Board of Education Award for Merit • Four Year Perfect Attendance Award • “Rocket Award” for basketball • Anthony Muñoz Leadership Conference • Eucharistic minister • Volunteer work at SEM Haven Health & Residential Center, The Hope Lodge Cancer Facility, basketball camp coach, peer mentor and spirit club. Niehaus logged more than 60 hours of community service while at McNick and still managed to find plenty of time for athletics and academics, he said.
As a senior, Niehaus was a captain for the varsity basketball team and started at second Niehaus base for the Rockets’ baseball squad. Niehaus finished with a 93.0 weighted average GPA and was one of 10 Rocket seniors to receive the school’s Outstanding Service Award. “He’s the ideal studentathlete for us at McNick,” McNick principal Brian Pendergest said. “He made the most of himself both athletically and academically. He has a nice bright future.” Niehaus was voted the Forest Hills Journal Sportsman of the Year following an online poll. More than 89,000 votes were cast across 13 Community Press ballots to determine 26 winners after readers submitted nominees online. The Rockets’ basketball team voted Niehaus as a
captain even though the senior guard wasn’t an everyday starter. “You couldn’t have picked a better recipient for a character award,” McNick boys basketball coach Pat Stricker said of Niehaus being voted Sportsman of the Year. “He’d do anything for you. He’s a spectacular kid and a joy to coach,” Stricker added. Niehaus loved the leadership role despite seeing limited minutes during the Rockets’ 5-16 campaign on the hardwood, he said. “I wasn’t always on the court, but I did everything I could to help out and encourage the team,” Niehaus said. “I was really proud to be voted captain.” On the baseball diamond, Niehaus carried an impressive .400 average to finish fourth on the team. Niehaus accounted for 30 hits, 21 runs, 18 RBI and seven stolen bases. “He did things the right way and did it with a smile,” McNick baseball coach Willy Corbett said.

Joe Niehaus, center, takes time to celebrate his graduation from McNicholas High School with his parents, Mike and Carol. “He got more out of himself than I think most people would have believed.” McNick’s baseball team finished at 21-10 while winning Division II sectional and district titles. “It was really exciting to be a part of it,” Niehaus said of the postseason run. “The team was so close and to go through it together was great.” Carol Niehaus, Joey’s mother, cherishes the athletic and academic accomplishments, but is most proud of the way Joey carries himself, she said. “He puts 150 percent into everything he does. He is just a very likable and personable kid,” Carol said.
“He is very respectful and when it come to sports he’s just all about the team.” Carol is sad to see the end of Joey’s high school athletics career but excited about the next step, she said. Joey is attending the University of Cincinnati in the fall and plans on pursuing medical school eventually. “We have pictures of him shooting hoops and throwing baseballs around from the time he could stand up,” Carol said. “We are just so proud of him. I almost come to tears when I think about how hard he has worked.”
Danker leads Rocket title teams Playing at the net and gaining ground on the post were foreign concepts for Jessica Danker four years ago. But a 6-inch growth spurt between Danker’s freshman and junior years forced the former guard to adapt. The transition was a great success for Danker as the 2009 McNicholas High School graduate used her 5-foot-10
frame to dominate on both the basketball and volleyball courts. “When they were Danker growing up she was always a smaller guard. Now in the senior photos she is a head taller,” Jessica’s father Steve Danker joked. Jessica was a senior captain during the basketball and volleyball seasons while also carrying a 93.0 weighted average GPA
and contributing nearly 200 hours of community service. The recent graduate was one of 10 Rocket seniors to receive the school’s Outstanding Service Award in 2009. “She is a great athlete and an even better person,” McNick athletic director Rob Heise said. Jessica was voted the Forest Hills Journal Sportswoman of the Year following an online poll. More than 89,000 votes were cast across 13 Community Press ballots to determine 26 winners after

readers submitted nominees online. Former McNick girls basketball coach Tim Monahan always admired Jessica’s drive on and off the court, the coach said. “She was our leading scorer and our most valuable player by far,” Monahan said. Monahan took over as the Rocket boys basketball coach at the close of the 2009 season after spending one season at the helm of the girls program. “She was our go-to player, but she’s also a great person. She put so much into the community,” Monahan added. Jessica led the Lady Rockets to Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League Grey Central Division titles for basketball and volleyball. The basketball team finished at 16-8 and captured a Division II sectional title with its postseason win over No. 1 Indian Hill, 4337. Jessica averaged 11.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 0.9 blocks a game during the successful campaign. “She’s amazing at everything she decides to do,” Monahan said. “She sets goals and she gets things done.”

Though Jessica’s playing days at McNick are over she still plans on coaching at the Rockets’ summer camp. “Our girls looked up to her and she was great about helping the younger kids in the program,” Monahan said of Jessica’s leadership. The Lady Rockets’ varsity volleyball team won a Division II sectional title while posting a record of 19-5. “She stepped in as a twoyear starter and was very vocal for the team,” volleyball coach Denny Murphy said. “She had a really big year and brought a lot of emotion to the floor.” Jessica begins her stint at the Ohio State University in the fall and hopes to play intramural or club basketball, she said.

What features would you like to see included in a health care reform plan?
Next question What is your favorite Fourth of July event? Why do you like it?
“Affordable health care for all. Not free but affordable. The private sector hasn’t been able to provide this so it is necessary that the government provides a program (like Medicare) where all of its citizens have access to affordable health care.” B.M. “Health care reform under government control was a mistake when Hillary Clinton tried to do it, and it is still a mistake. The government should butt out, and there isn’t enough space for me to list all the reasons here. The four biggest reasons why health care is so expensive are: “1. Burgeoning technological developments in health care (diagnostics and treatment) in the last 50 years, including such expensive procedures as MRI’s, CAT scans, lithotripty, etc. These things did not exist until the second half of the 20th century, but because they DO exist, people assume everyone has a right to access to all of them. “2. Federal regulations involving health care have made it more expensive for doctors and hospitals to operate. “3. Malpractice suits and the cost of malpractice insurance for doctors. Doctors are not gods; they cannot be perfect. “4. Free treatment for anyone who needs care at hospital emergency rooms, even if they cannot pay. (Mandated by federal law.) “The government cannot snap its fingers and make these issues go away. One final point: the cost of obtaining an education as a medical doctor is phenomenal. “If the government, through its meddling, ends up limiting the potential income of doctors, the incentive for young people to go to med school is going to be severely impacted.” Bill B. “Nothing at all. Healthcare isn’t perfect, but folks need to be wary of Obama on this one. “The government shouldn’t reform health care. It will be a bureaucratic nightmare and reduce the best health care system in the world to shambles. “Just do some research and see how ‘good’ things are in Canada. And if our is so bad, why are so many foreigners leaving their countries to work here as doctors and come here for major surgeries? Answer: because our health care is the best in the world!” C.G. “I would like to see some dental coverage included since that is a serious issue for many people.” B.N. “For a health care reform plan, the biggest feature I would like to see is the governmant NOT IN IT!!! I have yet to be impressed with the success vs. cost of ANY government program (the jury is still out regarding NASA).” D.K. “Health care reform must protect the most vulnerable--people with chronic, expensive illnesses, the elderly, the disabled, people with mental illnesses, the unborn. “These are exactly the populations most hurt by the ‘limits’ President Obama sees as necessary to a “universal” health plan.

“I hate to see them add anything to the health plan as always said when you open up a program that looks good someone always sticks something in the law which is no good.” L.S.
Intention is to make Beechmont Avenue more bicycle friendly
“No one should get health care for free, because doctors and nurses deserve an income. For those that don’t have cash they could do community service or it could be paid for with donations. “Those that can afford health care should not be forced to pay for those who can’t afford health care. “I have purchased my own health care for most of 30 years and it is difficult, but if you shop around and are willing to change health insurance companies you can keep costs down. “Tort reform must be included as frivolous lawsuits make liability insurance rates increase and this causes medical bills to increase. “Mostly, common sense is needed. Those that use the emergency room for simple medications,colds etc are wasting the systems funds.” N.P.
We appreciate the Forest Hills Journal’s story on the recently received grant funds for Beechmont Avenue, which will help make the corridor more bicycle friendly. We also understand the concern of some residents, such as Mr. Voegele in his June 10 letter to the editor, expressing concern that we not encourage bicycles along this heavily traveled corridor. The hint that Beechmont Avenue is being retrofitted to encourage recreational cycling for families is certainly not what is intended with this and other bicycle improvements to improve the roadway. In fact, the OKI Regional Council of Governments does recommend Beechmont as a route in their Regional Bicycle Plan map. Nonetheless, it is important to remember that bicycling is permitted on Beechmont and nearly all roadways in the township. In the case of Beechmont, the
“My answer is none. The federal government has exceeded the authority under our Constitution. “My greatest disappointment is the fact our local officials have not challenged this, and taken the funds the U.S. does not have, leading to further control. “I would like to see our local officials in full control of our activities including the schools and rejecting the federal funds and the control that comes with it.” F.J.B. “Rather than talking about it for decades, finally do something about it. “A no-brainer would be to allow all U.S.A. citizenry to have the same type of coverage as our U.S.A. senators and congressional representatives which offers a multitude of quality coverage. “Since we can afford to ‘give’ millions of our taxpayer dollars to foreign nations that are full of dictators, graft and corruption, why not instead give it to our very own. “What we spend annually in donations to other nations would surely cover a major portion of this type of excellent coverage.” Help For Us All

presence of bicycles on this roadway. In fact, ODOT intends to also install “Share the Road” signage this year, along with signage for cyclists reminding them of the law to ride with traffic. We hope that recreational bike riders will continue to use the wonderful trails and less congested roadways in our community. However, it is also important to recognize that bicycles are vehicles as defined by the Ohio Revised Codes. Beyond a definition, bicycles are used for transportation, and it is important for motorists, in particular, to remember it is the law to share the road with wheelchairs, bicycles, and pedestrians as well, especially when sidewalks or alternative routes do not exist. Steve Sievers is the director of development services of Anderson Township. Tom Caruso is the Anderson Trails coordinator of Anderson Township.
If you let the genie out of the bottle, then what? We, my wife and I, are opposed to Martin Marietta’s plan to store and use explosives for the purpose of limestone mining. We are opposed to this drastic change of use for many reasons, but our primary concern is oversight – that is, who will ensure that what Martin Marietta has promised will be enforced? How will this oversight be paid for? What, if anything, would be done when a violation occurs? Undoubtedly there are scores of more concerns, but I will stay focused. The need for oversight is critical, yet, how will it be accomplished? If you look at what has happened in our country (and the world) in the past six to 12 months, one can strongly argue that much of what has happened in our economy can be tracked to the lack of oversight. For example, the Bernie Madoff scheme bilked investors to the tune of $50+ billion because no

In fact, resiCommunity dents can now Press guest ride a bike to columnist Beechmont on Anderson Trails’ sidewalks and pathways, and this network was set up with one theme being to connect households to Beechmont Avenue.

they will tell you that saying and doing are two different things. It is that lack of oversight that scares us. That is, can Martin Marietta truly be committed to the well being of Anderson Township and the surrounding communities? Why? Because they “care?” I am sure that Lehman Brothers firmly felt that they were looking out for the best interests of their employees and customers, but when push came to shove, those in charge of enforcement failed. In closing, as a former elected official in the city of Newton, Mass., (population 83,000) who served as the vice-chair on the Land Use Committee, I empathize with what the board is going through I truly understand that this is a hard decision, but one of the critical charges of this service is oversight.

Anderson Township resident Mark Wolfer is celebrating his company's 30th anniversary this year.
Construction company keeps it local Mark Wolfer knows his work is intrusive, but that’s the nature of the business. The Anderson Township resident owns Wolfer Construction Inc., and after three decades he still enjoys the physical aspect of his job. “At the end of the day you have some tangible evidence of your day and it’s like positive reinforcement,” he said. Wolfer said he caught the construction bug from his father and after trying the business program at the University of Cincinnati, he settled on construction management. “I was exposed to the different elements of construction ... and that seemed to be more of what I enjoyed,” Wolfer said. While getting his hands dirty in construction work, Wolfer did a six-year stint in the hardware business, opening shop on Clough Pike from 1997-2003. Though the store is no longer there, Wolfer said it helped him build his future

mature and wholesome attitude toward human sexuality. We’re certainly not there yet. A misuse of sex still lies at the heart of many social and psychological problems: rape, incest, pornography, abortion, pedophilia, even casual hooking-up and friends with benefits are all Exhibit A in evidence against a wholesome integration of sexuality into our lives. It’s as though since the 1960s we have made progress from a negative childish attitude toward sex, and have now arrived at a collective adolescent stage where narcissism and indulgence reign – but still not a responsible appreciation and use. Years ago Fulton Sheen wrote, “Sex is the most psychosomatic of human functions. There is nothing else in which body and soul, finite and infinite, flesh and spirit are so closely intertwined. When sex and love are allowed to link the two, peace and joy result. When flesh and spirit are divorced, and sex is sought alone, boredom and ennui result.” Where are the men who will help in sexuality’s integration?

Western beliefs and church attitudes about sex were especially influenced by Stoicism. Stoics took a stern view of sexual pleasure. Mastery of the mind should be maintained even in marriage. It is wrong to lust after another man’s wife, and equally wrong to lust after one’s own wife. Augustine thought “for a couple to copulate for any purpose other than procreation was debauchery.” St. Paul, influenced by Hellenism, saw marriage as a concession to human weakness.

Summertime offers a visual smorgasbord of the human body. Warm air, less clothing, swimming, jogging and sunbathing draw attention and create sexual interest. Regardless of season, our culture celebrates the human body on stage, screen, TV and fashion. Immature and exaggerated as it may be, our focus on the body is a moving away from a centuries-long appraisal of negativity. The body for so long was seen as a prison for the spirit. Some earlier religions and philosophies believed that the best thing that could happen is when we die and are released from our bodies. Now we hold that there is a wholesome unity between body and soul. Our bodies are honorable and essential components of being human. A healthy and spiritual understanding of human sexuality has not had good allies. Many moderns think that sexual restrictiveness is the result of Christianity and that the ancients were free of them. Quite the contrary. A perusal of Greek and Roman philosophy shows

‘Orange’ you glad Rita tried again? “right,” all I can tell you is this is as close as I’m ever going to get to t h i s restaurant Rita favorite. Heikenfeld Even after Rita’s kitchen ing all eatmy mistakes, I still love the cake, and the topping even more. Now the restaurants usually make a two or three layer cake. I’m sure you can do that by adjusting the baking time downwards. I made mine in a 9-by-13 pan because it was easier, especially since my husband kept chiding me with “are you still fooling with that – isn’t it time to move on?” Easy for him to say.
As I write this column, I’m waiting on clone No. 4 of the Orange Dreamsicle Cake like Fireside Restaurant in Georgetown, and a number of other restaurants’ versions, to cool so I can frost it. I’m taking it to Channel 19 for a live cooking demo tomorrow morning. I know Rob Williams and Sheila Gray, along with Frank Marzullo, Dan Romito and the rest of the crew will have the same reaction as everyone else I’ve tested it on – Delicious! After trying various ways to make it taste

Rita’s version of Dreamsicle cake that she took to the Fox 19 crew. cake mix 1 small package orange Jell-O (3 ounces) 1 ⁄3 cup vegetable oil 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon orange extract 11⁄4 cups orange juice 1 ⁄4 teaspoon unsweetened orange Kool-Aid Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9-by13 pan with cooking spray. Place cake mix, Jell-O, oil, eggs, and orange extract in mixing bowl. Add orange juice and Kool-Aid and beat on low until moistened. Increase to medium and beat a few minutes longer. The batter will be smooth. Pour into pan. Bake 25
to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Don’t overbake. If cake humps up in the center, when you take it out of the oven, put a folded towel over it and press down with your hands. Voilà – a perfectly even cake (what you are doing is pressing the air out). Let it cool while making the topping.
Pineapple cream cheese topping Beat together:
1 can, about 20 ounces, crushed pineapple, drained or not, whatever you like (undrained your frosting will be a little softer – I like that version since it has more flavor) 3 ounces cream cheese, softened Package (3.5 ounces ) instant vanilla pudding

Can you help?
Newport’s Manyet’s bakery icing: Cindy Fessler said she hasn’t found an icing they like as well. Does anyone have a similar recipe? “My family was so disappointed when it closed,” she said. Like Skyline’s black bean and rice soup for BG: “I can’t seem to find anything even close to it. Can’t get enough of it.” Pelican Reef’s coleslaw: Shari Weber, an Anderson Township reader, loves this and wants to make it for her husband. “Something’s different in there and it’s so good,” she told me. Loveland’s Hitch’s, now closed, chicken salad: Reader Phil Jones says this can be purchased through Zapps Bar next to the old deli, but would like to make it at home. Like Ruby’s white macaroni: For Marella Holmes. Bugogi and spinach like Korean Riverside Restaurant, Covington: Sue Dreibelbis and her family love the bulgogi served there and her kids are crazy about the spinach. “My kids don’t eat many vegetables so I’m desperate to find the spinach recipe,” she said. topping. Use half for a wonderful dip for fresh fruit or to make tiny tarts. Use mandarin oranges instead of pineapple.
Chipotle mayonnaise for burgers
For Jerry, who wanted an extra special spicy sauce for his burgers. Mix 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons each olive oil and lemon juice. Add a scant 2 teaspoons puréed canned chipotle chiles in adobo, a teaspoon or so of garlic and a handful of chopped cilantro. Taste, add salt and add more garlic, lemon, etc. if needed.

Anderson Twp. sisters raising money to find diabetes cure Anderson Township sisters, Megan and Kelli Lagemann, will take to their bikes in October in Death Valley, Calif., to participate in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Ride to Cure. Their 100-mile ride is
dedicated to their grandfather, who died from complications of the disease, their dad, who is successfully managing the disease with an insulin pump, and young David Clawson. Clawson is a kindergartner at Wilson Elementary in
Langenbahn-Mueller
the Forest Hills School District who was diagnosed at age 2. As an active 6-year-old, he lives with multiple daily finger sticks, maintaining his insulin pump, and monitored activities. Megan, who works as a special events coordinator for JDRF feels that the Ride is a way for her to become more involved with the organization. Kelli, who has returned to school to pursue an education degree, became involved so she and Megan
From left are: Megan Lagemann, David Clawson and Kelli Lagemann.

At Mercy, It’s the "Little Things" During a recent resident council meeting a resident exclaimed she had a craving for peppermint ice cream! Sandy, the Activity Assistant, searched numerous grocery stores to no avail. After several attempts, Sandy finally struck gold. Not only did one of our valued residents enjoy this seasonal treat, Sandy purchased enough for the entire resident population. At Mercy communities we take care of the "little things". Including peppermint ice cream runs.

The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast
Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland
The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.

Bed & Breakfast
There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
