Neighbors surge into action Frequent power outages frustrating Asbury Hills residents By Lisa Wakeland

lwakeland@communitypress.com

One Anderson Township neighborhood has been plagued by power outages. From the end of June to early August, nearly 50 homes in the Asbury Hills neighborhood have lost electricity eight times, with an average of two hours per incident. David Pensak and Drew White, who live in the subdivision, have banded together with other neighbors to seek answers from Duke Energy. Pensak has been keeping track of the frequent outages, logging dates and times that go back to 2001. “When “When you you have have this much this much frequency, it gets frequency it gets to be a to be a little little scary,” White said. scary. I’ve just just had enough of it had“I’ve enough and our lifestyles of it and our lifestyles are are impacted.” Drew White impacted.” R e s i Anderson Township dents have resident detailed the ways losing electricity has affected their lives. Issues include everything from working at home to serious medical concerns, such as using heart monitors or the need to keep insulin at constant temperatures. Most residents have complained to Duke Energy and Pensak said each communication with the electric company starts at square one. “We’re totally in the dark here,” he said. “We’re conditioned to the outages, but how do you adapt?” Duke Energy is aware of the problem and spokeswoman Johnna Reeder said it’s working to resolve the issue. She said crews have started spot tree trimming to remove

Full tree trimming was last completed in 2007 and is next scheduled for 2011. Reeder said crews have also

replaced lightning arresters, which could have been damaged by animals, and installed more animal guards. “Unfortunately, animals get on

those lines and ... do knock out power,” she said. Sally Thelen, communications manager for Duke Energy, said the homes on the other side of the Asbury Hills neighborhood do not experience outages because they’re on a different circuit. Both Pensak and White said they hope the animal guards, tree trimming and lightning arresters will be a permanent solution instead of a temporary fix. “We’ve got community action going and the township is aware of the problem,” White said. “If the frequency continues we’re on firmer ground to move forward.” He added that residents could file a formal complaint against Duke Energy, which would be heard by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.

Newtown business wins prestigious honor By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com

Newtown’s Gardner Publications has been successful for many years, but even those who worked for that success didn’t expect the award the business recently received. Gardner was named “Family Business of the Decade” by the Goering Center for Family and Private Business. Rick Kline Jr., group publisher and director at Gardner, described the scene as the winners were announced as “stunned silence.” He said Rick Kline Sr., who accepted the award, didn’t expect to win with family businesses like Graeters and Busken in the running. “We really didn’t expect to

Winner were selected based on

successful transitions between generations, accomplishments

and the use of outside partners to ensure success. Rick Kline Jr. said 180 local companies were nominated, with 47 named as finalists before Gardner took home the top prize for companies with more than 100 employees. Donald Kline, vice presidentpublisher at Gardner, said the honor came as a pleasant surprise, considering the publication industry – not to mention the manufacturing industry, which is the topic of many of Gardner’s publications – has been hit hard by the lagging economy. He said the Newtown business has simply been figuring out ways to survive and grow once the economy picks back up. “It’s not the year you would have expected an award,” Donald Kline said.

Area businesses weigh in on Beechmont Avenue sign study

Citizens Police Academy returns

By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com

The Newtown Police Department will conduct its Citizen Police Academy beginning Wednesday, Sept. 30. The academy will meet for eight consecutive weeks on Wednesday nights from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. at Newtown administration building. The Citizen Police Academy will cover such topics as the state of the department, traffic enforcement, criminal law, crime scene investigation, defensive tactics, and SWAT operations. Applications are available in person at the administration building, or on the village Web site, www.villageofnewtown.com. The deadline for turning in applications is Sept. 25. Applicants must be 18 years or older. A criminal history check will be completed prior to acceptance. Any questions can be directed to Newtown Police Officer Todd Bruner at 5617697.

The Beechmont Avenue

business corridor can present a potential problem for drivers. Students from the Uni-

versity of Cincinnati said the smorgasbord of signs is a visual overload and can make navigation difficult. During a recent presentation, students suggested multiple ways for Anderson Township to improve the appearance of Beechmont Avenue and help drivers locate businesses. Ideas include reducing density of signs, clustering signage in plazas and defining business districts with distinct sign regulations. Jason Jones, manager at Woodcraft Furniture, 8273 Beechmont Ave., said signs should be consolidated to help drivers and businesses, but that could be more difficult for freestanding stores. “If you don’t really know what’s here, it can be difficult (to find businesses) while driving,” he said. UC students said utility

poles add to the visual obstructions and suggested moving utility poles to a central median. Steve Latreille, owner of Planet Collectibles in Anderson Towne Center, agreed that utility poles are an issue but is skeptical of the medians. He said utility poles running down the center of Beechmont Avenue also would be an eyesore and the medians could inhibit traffic flow. “With all the congestion, they should be worried more about cars rather than looking at signage,” Latreille said. The students recommended Anderson Township look into adopting regulations that would help establish signage that is more cohesive and easier to read.

Other options

Business owners offered their opinions on how to improve the appearance of Beechmont Avenue. • Jason Jones, manager of Woodcraft Furniture, said he would like to see monument signs that are lower to the ground. • Steve Latreille, owner of Planet Collectibles, said he’d like to see utility poles moved behind businesses. • Jim Getz, owner of Getz Jewelers, said any changes to sign regulations need to be fair and consistent. Jim Getz, owner of Getz Jewelers, 8429 Beechmont Ave., said even though some signs are difficult to read, Beechmont Avenue is similar to other heavy-traffic business corridors around Cincinnati. “I don’t think it’s a real problem and it would be hard to change,” he said. If the township does adopt new signage regulations, Getz said it should be consistent and fair to all businesses.

LISA WAKELAND/STAFF

Steve Latreille, owner of Planet Collectibles in Anderson Township, said utility poles along Beechmont Avenue, not signs, are the biggest aesthetic issue.

Anderson HS grads reunite for film premiere, concert By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com

The members of the band Walk the Moon and the star of a new horror film were too young to remember the majority of the 1980s, but the decade has served as a creative springboard. Leah Rudick, a 2002 graduate of Anderson High School, is returning to Cincinnati for the local premiere of the movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids Go To the Woods â&#x20AC;Ś Kids Get Dead,â&#x20AC;? at 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10, at the 20th Century Theater, 3021 Madison Road.

Eastern Corridor gets state funding

The Ohio Department of Transportation can invest up to $20 million in the Eastern Corridor project, a multimodal transportation system connecting eastern Hamilton County and western Clermont County. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Transportation Review Advisory Council recently approved the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to invest more money in the project to advance preliminary engineering. The additional $20 million will allow the Ohio Department of Transportation to finalize alternative route studies and conduct environmental studies.

Anderson Twp. probation officer gets probation

Gannett News Service

A burglary suspect was arrested in Anderson Township on Aug. 28. According to a release from the Hamilton County

Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, deputies arrested Delbert Burton, 33, of Covington, Ky., for a burglary at a home in the 7400 block of Clough Pike. As the homeowner pulled into her driveway, the release said she noticed a 1994 Chevrolet Camaro parked in her driveway and an unknown white male inside the screened porch. Burton fled westbound on Clough Pike and was arrested approximately 10 minutes later. Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputies found a bag containing miscellaneous jewelry and a pair of latex gloves near the vehicle. The recovered jewelry was identified as stolen from the residence. Burton is being charged with burglary, a seconddegree felony, the release said.

A Hamilton County probation officer will get her own probation officer after she was recently convicted of drunk driving. Lisa Egner, 50, of Anderson Township, pleaded no contest to driving under the influence Aug. 27 and was convicted by Municipal Judge Bernie Bouchard. He sentenced her to one year of probation, a $400 fine and three days in a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intervention program that requires a stay in a

locked down facility â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all routine sentences. Egnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood-alcohol content was .149 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost twice Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal limit of .08 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when she was pulled over in July for speeding. Egner was a probation officer assigned to the Hamilton County drug court when she was charged with the DUI. After that charge, drug court Judge Kim Burke removed Egner from the probation officer in that court where cases are heard

for those charged with drugor alcohol-related crimes and the focus is on rehabilitation and treatment rather than jail. Egner was reassigned to another job. Her annual salary is $51,037.48. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a probation officer since 1984. Mike Walton, who, as court administration, also is the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief probation officer, said Egner will be disciplined as a result of her conviction, but she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose her job because of it.

Forest Hills earns ‘Excellent’ rating By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com

Once again the Forest Hills Local School District has scored high on the state report card. The district earned an Excellent with Distinction rating from the Ohio Department of Education for the 2008-2009 school year. The ranking is based on achievement test scores, attendance and graduation rates.

The district met all 30 of the state report card indicators. It scored highest in 11th grade reading with a 99.3 percent score. Its lowest score was in eighth-grade

social studies with a 79.9 percent score. According to a Forest Hills release, the cumulative scores for the 11th grade students indicated above 99 percent of the students passed the reading and writing portion of the Ohio Graduation Tests, above 98 percent passed the math and social studies portions and above 96 percent passed the science portion. Additionally, the students scored at the accelerated or advanced levels on about 80 percent of the total tests taken in the 10th grade, and students earned an advanced score on about 45 percent of the Ohio Graduation Tests taken, according to the release.

Turpin rolls heading into Indian Hill By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

Turpin has started the season with two impressive victories over Loveland and McNick and look to make it three when Turpin faces an 0-2 Indian Hill team Sept. 11. “I feel like we’re playing good team defense right now and we’re playing opportunistic offense,” Turpin head coach Rob Stoll said. “If we can continue to get better each week, I feel like we have a chance against anybody.” It’s hard not to like Turpin’s chances against Indian Hill after the Spartans outscored opponents 67-31 through two weeks, including a week two 30-14 win over McNick. McNick beat Indian Hill 28-21 in week one. Against the Rockets, it was the defense that fueled the Spartans. “Our defense absolutely shut them down and we have a really explosive offense that had a lot of opportunities to make things happen,” Stoll said. “We knew we couldn’t let McNick possess the ball for long drives and the defense did a great job getting off the field.” Turpin usually relies on explosive running back Wayne Dunham but Dunham suffered a shoulder injury early against McNick. Stoll moved junior slot receiver Will Stocker to the back position and Stocker delivered, handling the job

admirably and scoring a long touchdown in the process. “He ran so hard it was like we didn’t miss a beat,” Stoll said. McNick (1-1), for their part, will look to rebound from the loss with a tough showdown against Loveland (0-2). The Rockets will look to quarterback Matt Staubach, who had four rushing touchdowns in week one against Indian Hill, and fullback Pat

Fitzgerald to lead the ground attack against Loveland.

Kyle Slater led the way for the Redskins with 154 yards on 12 carries.

Anderson 44, Woodward 0

Summit Country Day 75, Evangel 0

The Redskins defense was impressive again as Anderson had eight interceptions against Woodward, giving them 13 through the first two weeks of the season. Anderson will look to continue steamrolling opponents Sept. 11 against Boone County. The Redskins have outscored opponents 85-6 this season. The Redskins will be the featured team in next week’s Forest Hills Journal. Anderson outgained Woodward 470-125 and

Summit Country Day got out to an overwhelming 690 halftime lead that Evangel could not recover from en route to a 75-0 win. Summit had nine rushing touchdowns and senior quarterback Rob Selker added a pair of touchdown passes as Summit outgained Evangel 396-58. Summit (2-0) will get another chance for an offensive show when it takes on an Oyler team on Sept. 11 that is coming off a 37-0 loss to Cincinnati Country Day.

Tully sits out, commits to college

After tearing her meniscus and ACL in the Turpin High School vs. Anderson High School varsity soccer game last year, Bridget Tully is still recovering. After surgery and months in physical therapy, she is not playing soccer for Turpin High School this year so that she can continue to strengthen and condition for college ball. In January, Tully verbally committed to play soccer for Xavier University as a 2010 recruit.

Saint Ursula senior Elizabeth Burchenal, center, celebrates her game-winning goal against Strongsville with teammate Alessandra Jansen, left, during the 2008 Division I state championship. Burchenal and the Bulldogs look to win its thirdconsecutive state title this fall.

A state championship in 2009 would truly put the St. Ursula Bulldogs in a league of its own. No school in the history of Ohio’s postseason has ever won three-consecutive state championships. Nor has any program in the state been able to accumulate a total of five state championships. The Bulldogs look to accomplish both feats in 2009 after winning Division I state championships in 2007 and 2008, the program’s third and fourth state titles, respectively. Following its successes

the past few seasons, the Bulldogs were ranked No. 1 in the nation when the ESPN Rise Preseason Poll was released. Now a senior, striker Elizabeth Burchenal has been a dominant scoring force for several seasons. This fall, Burchenal could set the Bulldogs’ all-time scoring record. In 2008, Burchenal easily lead the Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League with 82 points including 33 goals and 16 assists. Marisa Wolf, also a returning starter for the Bulldogs, finished second in the conference but well behind Burchenal with 42 points (19 goals, four assists).

Burchenal also led the GGCL in scoring as a sophomore in 2007 while netting 18 goals and five assists for 41 points. Alongside Burchenal and Wolf, additional returning starters for Saint Ursula include Aubrey Bledsoe, Kristen Pierce, Ellyn Gruber, Paige Fehr and Sydney Kurz. A trio of newcomers will also immediately contribute including Kate Zerbe, Lindsay Silva and Katie Schweer. Saint Ursula hosts Purcell Marian at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 2, before traveling for a trio of road games. The Bulldogs travel to North Central High School

in Indiana for a pair of weekend games. Saint Ursula faces North Central at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4, before taking on Fort Wayne Snider at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 5. The Bulldogs then return to Cincinnati for a road game against Turpin at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12. The girls host its rivals from Ursuline at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23. In 2008, Ursuline (13-14, 2-0-3) took second place in the GGCL Scarlet Division behind the Bulldogs. Though Saint Ursula went on to win a state title, Ursuline captured the GGCL Scarlet Division title in 2007.

On the heels of a 2-5 season in 2008, Indian Hill aims to finish with a muchimproved record this fall. Paula Childs, third-year head coach for Indian Hill, returns eight starters this season including Hannah Bachman, Veronica Cole, Riley Irvine, Tori Lewis, Jessica Quible, Audrey Meier, Kelly Hilmer and Molly Miller. Freshman Karson Meurer will make immediate contributions as a key new addition. “We also have a very promising group of freshmen on the (junior varsity) squad and are excited with the development of the field hockey program as a whole,” Childs said via email. “With the assistance of my JV coach, Gena Bailey, I foresee the JV squad doing very well this year.”

Saint Ursula

Senior captains Marielle Grote and Olivia Hnat look to lead the Bulldogs this fall after Saint Ursula finished with an impressive 14-1-1 record in 2008. A total of six starters return for the Bulldogs including Grote (attack), Hnat (defender), senior Ali Zerbe (midfield, attack), senior Rachel Van Zile (midfield), senior Emily Gruesser (midfield) and junior Ellen Ryan (goalie). “Returning a core of balanced starters, St. Ursula looks to compete for a slot in (the) state tournament,” first-year head coach Sarah Catlin said via e-mail. “Team captains Marielle Grote and Olivia Hnat will give leadership at both ends of the field. “Tremendous work ethic and commitment from the rest of the squad looks to position the Bulldogs for an aggresive and upbeat style of play,” Catlin added. Sophomores Ashley Rodd (defender) and Elley Frank (attack) will make immediate contributions as key new additions for the Bulldogs.

Ursuline

A group of 10 seniors on the Lions’ roster should provide Ursuline Academy with plenty of leadership on the field this spring. In addition to the leadership provided by its seniors, Ursuline returns six starters including Maggie Allard, Maddie Miller, Megan Schnicke, Chelsea Rolfes, Julia Tasset and Isabel Gonzalez del Rey. Ursuline finished at 105-1 in 2008 and was eliminated during the first round of postseason play. “(We have) lots of expereince combined with (a) strong junior class also returning,” head coach Elli Workum said via e-mail. Workum and coach Libby Lame are being their second year at the helm of Ursuline’s program. Workum expects to see immediate contributions from a trio of talented newcomers including Ellie Robertson, Nicole Mitchell and Katie Cowperthwait.

After repeated attempts, Summit Country Day coaches were unavailable before Community Press deadlines.

What do you think is the enduring legacy of Ted Kennedy? “Setting aside any preconceived notions about the ‘Kennedy Dynasty,’ it’s hard to imagine any intelligent citizen – Democrat, Republican or Independent – not recognizing the amazing volume of lifetime contributions made by this great American patriot and statesman. “Sure, Ted Kennedy had some ‘shady’ events in his past, just like any other politician under the media’s intense microscope. But as a long-term senator, he has made major changes in the laws affecting the rights, values and freedoms of so many Americans. “His commitment to just American politics is unmatched. There’s great sadness in the loss of the last of the Kennedy brothers - he will be sorely missed. M.M. “I will always believe that his birth into a privileged family is the only reason for his rise to prominence. “I also believe that the Left will try to whitewash and minimize the terrible tragedy he caused to happen at Chappaquiddick, and they will overlook his expulsion from Harvard for cheating, his alcoholism, his womanizing, and his support for abortion, saying that ‘He who is without sin should cast the first stone.’ “They did the same thing after President Clinton was impeached, and the Senate acquitted him. “One-hundred years from now, when passions have subsided, I suspect that Ted will be remembered chiefly for causing the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, and for getting away with it. “If he had been a conservative, I suspect he would have been treated differently.

Kennedy offered to ride Mary Jo Kopechne back to her hotel, but a policeman noticed Kennedy’s big Oldsmobile making a wrong turn out of a cemetery and he slid off of a wooden sided bridge into a tidal pond. Kennedy claimed he swam clear of the car, called out for Mary Jo, swam back under and couldn’t make it physically, so he went many houses away, called his friends and found himself in his own room by 2:30 a.m. “If he would have reported the accident immediately, the police would likely have been able to save her, since they said she was probably breathing air for at least two hours! “This tragedy caused many to turn against Ted. Prior to this event, he was seen as a rich, selfcentered, alcoholic playboy. After having to deal with the personal responsibility for his part in another person’s death, and the political repercussions for himself and his family, the affect on his immediate family, this tragedy along with losing the 1980 Democratic Presidential bid to Jimmie Carter, seems to have really driven Ted to become the best senator he could become, to become the crusader for the poor, the underprivileged, those of all races and beliefs. “Ted wrote and sponsored a breath-taking amount of legislation and had a wonderful ability to work across the aisle, for the common good, something we try and learn in our own Antioch Leadership and Change Program, yet see so rarely in Congress, where special interests, fear, and animosity prevail. “Ted, like all of us, was a human being, subject to many of the frailties that all of are, but he also acknowledged them, faced them courageously, and when he fell, he got up again, smiled, and went back into the arena, and did more good work...” W.W. “Ted Kennedy was a modern day Houdini. In 1969 at Chappaquiddick he escaped the car he drove into a pond while intoxicated. He left the scene and his female companion Mary Jo Kopechne to drown. He was kicked out of Harvard twice, but somehow got back in. With those talents he was obviously qualified to follow Houdini’s path or go into politics. Go figure!” T.D.T.

Water treatments provide safe drinking water I have worked in the Water Quality and Treatment Division of Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) since 1975 and we have always placed the highest priority on the quality of the water delivered to our customers. Our water has always met or exceeded state and federal health standards for drinking water. GCWW ensures safe water by performing approximately 600 tests daily throughout the system. Some of my Anderson Township neighbors have asked me about sources of pollution, particularly wastewater treatment plants, along the Ohio River. Fortunately, GCWW is served by an early warning detection system. If this system detects a spill, GCWW can shut down the water intakes or make adjustments in the treatment processes to protect the safety of the water. The best way to insure safe water at the tap is to keep our source waters clean. Unfortunately, there are many sources of pollution along the river. GCWW recognized these challenges and brought on line the first Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) facility in the United States in 1992. GAC is specifically designed to remove pollutants found in the river. Strides have been made to protect the water quality of the river, but no law requires new sig-

nificant sewer discharges to be at least 25 miles upstream from municipal water intakes. G C W W assisted in the creation of ORSANCO in 1948 and has been working with the organization since then to protect

the Ohio River. GCWW has also conducted a field inventory of potential pollution sources upstream of our intake to better understand the potential risks to our source water quality. Some Anderson Township residents were involved when the city of Cincinnati and GCWW expressed strong objection to construction of a sewage treatment plant, the Eastern Regional Water Reclamation Facility, just 11 miles upstream of the GCWW drinking water intake. After filing objections and a lawsuit, GCWW reached a mediated, enforceable settlement. The settlement includes notification procedures and a work plan assuring that risk to water quality would be low. As part of a national effort we support legislation to protect

source waters and ensure the safety of drinking water. One example is a federal Sewage Right to Know Act which would require sewer system operators to report overflows to downstream drinking water treatment systems immediately. Finally, as superintendent of Water Quality and Treatment, I am proud that we are designing Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection treatment with construction beginning in 2009. Ultraviolet light easily disinfects disease-causing protozoa like Cryptosporidium and Giardia, which are found in the Ohio River. While these organisms have never been found in our finished water, we have taken the extra step of implementing this technology to protect our drinking water for our customers. The U.S. EPA identified UV disinfection as one of the best available technologies against Cryptosporidium and Giardia. We will be the first water utility in the United States to use sand filtration followed by GAC and then UV. For more information on water quality and drinking water go to www.cincinnati-oh.gov/gcww. Debbie Metz is the superintendent of Water Quality and Treatment at Greater Cincinnati Water Works and a resident of Mt. Washington.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Where’s the movie theater?

I’m wondering what’s going on with the new Anderson Towne Center movie theater; after all this

time all they’ve done is build a wall. Now the site is vacant. I thought it was due to be done

early this fall. David Stemmerding Apple Hill Road Anderson Township

Candidate: Anderson Center not best use of funds Recently Anderson Township trustees have attempted to explain how TIFs paid for the Anderson Center without raising our taxes. I have negotiated TIFs on behalf of clients, and I am familiar with how these work. We are now paying off $30 million in bonds and a majority of that money was spent on the Anderson Center. The current leadership has rationalized this expenditure based on the claim that it is OK because your taxes have not been raised. The better question is: Was the Anderson Center the best place to spend $30 million? The gist of the claims are that the Anderson Center cost the community nothing. I must disagree since the question should not be whether taxes increased (basically they haven’t). The question should be whether money was spent wisely. I believe that using the money to build the most opulent office space in our community for mostly township offices is the wrong priority. Every brick, every piece of mortar, every light bulb in the Anderson Center is a dollar that could have been spent somewhere else. Wouldn’t a new park have been cheaper? Aren’t our schools in need of assistance? Sure, some of the money reached the schools, but did enough?

The next time we need to pass a levy, look at your township building, and then remind yourself that it didn’t cost us any new taxes. Michael When capital Paolucci improvements be required Community will and levies are Press guest requested, the columnist current administration hopes you forget that they just spent $30 million dollars on a state-ofthe-art facility. Many have expressed their reservations about the Anderson Center because “it just doesn’t feel right.” Most fiscally responsible people know they will have to pay for it somehow, and the “no new taxes” argument violates common sense. Let’s not forget why we love Anderson. The parks, the schools, our homes and neighborhoods are all exceptional. Even with our exceptional community, the one complaint I hear from nearly every resident is the embarrassment of our front door – Beechmont Avenue. People wonder why are we not good enough to have the quality of retail and restaurants on Beechmont that other, many less-

I believe that using the money to build the most opulent office space in our community for mostly township offices is the wrong priority. er, communities have? This township was presented with the rare opportunity to make their own improvements and what do they do? They choose not to improve our front door, and put a huge office space in a forest. How can we expect private developers to invest in Beechmont when we will not do the same given the opportunity? What if, instead of this center, we had invested in broken down buildings on Beechmont to house the township administration? The decision making may have been well-intentioned, however, I can’t forget how our quality of life could have improved if that same money was spent with different priorities. Spending the money on the Anderson Center was a bad decision. I believe I can do better, and that is why I am running for trustee in November.

September 9, 2009

Playing hide-and-seek, but not really seeking keep the pleasant ones. They’re all intertwined. Bury anger and we bury the potential for joy; bury sexuality and we bury spontaneity; bury conflict and we bury peace of mind. Symptoms of hidden and scary feelings tap on the walls of our minds and bodies as if to say, “You can’t lead a full life unless you deal with me and achieve a certain understanding of me as part of your life.” Those of us who have been abused or neglected, bruised or wounded by significant others, must come face to face with our pain and the truth about the whole situation. Understanding the truth will help set us free. It’s difficult for us, but doing so begins healing and integration. Often, facing what we’ve kept hidden is best accomplished with the assistance of a competent professional counselor. One example of the hidden being revealed occurred when I was pastor and a young woman made an appointment.

During it she denounced her current boyfriend and his interest in sex. She showed me newspaper articles confirming her belief that our culture is too permissive and men are the villains causing it all. She wanted me to write about it and preach about it to my parishioners. It was her growing intensity, her insistence and deepening rage that led me to suspect there was much more to her concerns. After a long period of listening, I asked her gently, “Would you be willing to tell me what happened to you? Did someone hurt you or frighten you?” What followed was a profound change in her behavior. She stared into space in silence. Then, with contorted face, an angry snarl in her voice, she whispered, “I was raped when I was 18, and by damn, no man will ever have that power over me again!” With some relief, she said she had hidden and denied that fact for years. She tried – and for a while it worked –

Her repressed fear of sex and anger at men were affecting her life tremendously. From that point on she was willing to confer with a psychologist and work through the brutal disrespect forced on her by her attacker.A healthier life was ahead for her. She proved more courageous than most people are wont to be in facing what’s hidden inside. Too many of us fulfill Camus’ claim that most humans live in hiding from themselves.

The 16th annual Teen Dress Shop hosted annually by the PTAs of Anderson, McNicholas and Turpin high schools will be held at Anderson High School Saturday, Sept. 12. This sale provides girls the opportunity to buy and sell their gently worn formal dresses, shoes, purses and accessories for events such as homecoming, winter formals and prom, all at reasonable prices. The sellers set the prices of their items and receive the full price of each item sold. It gives the public the opportunity to shop and save at this cash-only sale. The annual sale began in 1993 and rotates between the three Anderson Township high schools. This event is not a fundraiser, but is truly a service to the girls because all proceeds go directly to the teens. Girls also have the option to donate any unsold items to Kenzie’s Closet in O’Bryonville. This is a nonprofit organization which gives dresses to underprivileged girls, who are referred to Kenzie’s Closet by principals, counselors or social agencies. Last year, the sale brought in more than 300

All humans live in hiding from themselves. That’s one of Albert Camus’ central insights about human nature. We practice what psychology calls repression and denial – thereby remaining unconscious to who we really are. Why hide certain experiences or realities of our life? We fear it would be too difficult or frightening dealing with them. We prefer, as Kierkegaard puts it, to tranquilize ourselves with the trivial. Hiding strong personal elements from ourselves is usually futile. They keep trying to get our attention. They express themselves through symptoms such as anxiety, stomach trouble, insomnia, headaches, irritation or depression. True, some depression comes from chemical imbalances and must be treated with medication. But another kind of depression can be caused by pushing down and away i.e. depressing, unwelcome feelings. One of the strange things about our feelings is, however, that we can’t just bury the unpleasant ones and

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all a piece of pie this week

I guess I should call this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pie Issue.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been asked by several Kentucky readers to clone Maysvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous transparent pie made by McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bakery. And a reader on the northern side of the river has been clamoring for Jimmy Gherardiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s e m o n Rita lblueberry Heikenfeld pie. First, Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen the story about McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. I stopped in their bakery last year and got several items including their transparent pie. The recipe is secret so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell you how I sleuthed information but will tell you my â&#x20AC;&#x153;anonymous sourceâ&#x20AC;? said McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uses powdered milk.

Now most transparent pies call for cream or milk so I have no idea how true the powdered milk theory is, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plausible for sure when baking in large amounts. The ingredients in this pie are similar but not exactly like Hoosier, chess and vinegar pies. Anyway, I ran into N i c k Clooney last year when we were both on Fox 19â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morning show. Gherardi Nick said he thought his brother had a recipe similar to McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Nick and I lost touch so I never did get the recipe in my hot little hands. The recipe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sharing is so delicious and almost dead-on McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and as close as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ever going to get to it. Jimmyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pie, on the other hand, was a cinch to get. He

is so generous when it comes to sharing recipes so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got his authentic one to share here.

Transparent pie close to McGeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Originally from Martha Jane Zeigler, a Batavia resident and fine baker. Now this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the prettiest pie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the filling isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t real high but is so enticingly sweet and good youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll understand when you take a bite. A thick filling would just be too much. Now if all you have is dark Karo, that should be OK too. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve adapted this slightly from her original recipe. 1 pie shell 1 stick butter, room temperature (salted or unsalted is OK) 2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon flour 1 tablespoon vanilla 1 â &#x201E;2 cup half & half 3 large eggs, lightly beaten 2 teaspoons cider vinegar 1 tablespoon clear Karo syrup Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Beat butter and

sugar until mixture is fairly fluffy. Add rest of ingredients and blend well. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry if it looks curdled. Pour into pie shell. Bake 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then turn oven down to 325 degrees and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes more, or until pie has set. Awesome with a dollop of whipped cream.

Chef Jimmy Gherardiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lemon sour cream blueberry pie

For reader Cathy Grosse who told me sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried to duplicate â&#x20AC;&#x153;but have only nearly got it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; worth stuffing myself for.â&#x20AC;? Cathy wanted to wish Jimmy well and thinks, like I do, that Jimmy is a wonderful and caring person. 1 cup sugar 1 â &#x201E;4 cup all purpose flour 1 â &#x201E;4 cup cornstarch 1 â &#x201E;2 teaspoon salt 1 â &#x201E;2 cup sour cream 1 â &#x201E;2 cup water 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 6 egg yolks 1 â &#x201E;3 cup fresh or organic bottled lemon juice Whipped cream Fresh or thawed frozen

blueberries syrup.

Place sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt in saucepan. Whisk. Add sour cream and water. Whisk until smooth. Place on stove top over medium heat and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and add butter. Stir until melted and well combined. Stir in yolks, Keep stirring until well combined â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry if butter is floating around. Place back on heat and stir constantly until mixture is well combined and thick again. Stir in juice and keep stirring until it becomes thick and starts to hold its shape. Remove from heat and pour into prepared pie crust. Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then place in fridge until cold. Top with as much whipped cream, berries, etc. as you want.

My editor, Lisa Mauch, and her co-workers gave this a two thumbs up. She made this both as cupcakes and in a loaf pan. I salivated just looking at the photos.

Since Mercy Hospital Anderson first opened its doors and began serving patients in 1984, the hospital has grown with the community and added new services and specialties. But the single-minded focus of providing exceptional care and compassion has remained constant, says Patricia Schroer, president and CEO of Mercy Hospital Anderson. “We are very excited to celebrate our 25-year anniversary with our staff, physicians and the community,” Schroer said. “We are proud to serve and support the Anderson community and we’re looking forward to providing comprehensive, compassionate care for many years to come.” Mercy Hospital Anderson has been rated seven times as one of the 100 Top Hospitals in the Nation by Thomson Reuters. It also established, in conjunction with Wellington Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, the opening of the new Orthopaedic Center of Excellence. As a result, Mercy Anderson is now rated the No. 1 hospital in Ohio for orthopedic care. Mercy Anderson also offers a nationally-rated Family Birth Center, a comprehensive heart program, including open heart surgery program and interventional cath lab, a recently expanded Emergency Department and Women’s Center and an Oncology Department. Also available is the Health and Wellness Center located across the street from the hospital that includes the HealthPlex, Sleep Center and Outpatient Therapy and Rehabilitation. Mercy Hospital Anderson officially was dedicated on Aug. 12, 1984, and received patients on Aug. 15, 1984.

BED AND BREAKFAST

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week

The Doolin House 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…

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.

DO YOU WANT TO BE SAVED?

Remember:

be saved, and thy house.”

Hell’s Hot Life’s Short Death’s Sure Eternity’s Long and “There Ain’t No Exits In Hell.” NO MAN KNOWS, HOW SOON IT IS TOO LATE “Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain.” Exodus 20:7 Any way that you use God’s Name, the Lord’s Name, Jesus’ Name, other than in a Holy manner, is taking His Name in vain. For God so loved the worlds, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in Him Should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 Acts 2:21 And Romans 10:13 indicate that “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” In the next verse, Romans 10:14 it says, “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?” Believing precedes calling upon The name of the Lord. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” God reafﬁrms this truth in I Timothy 2:5 saying “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” When someone says “repeat this prayer after me to be saved” it is making people feel like they have to “do” something to be saved, other than believing. If someone is asked to say a prayer to be saved, the person who says the prayer is still on his way to hell, after repeating the prayer, if he hasn’t believed in his heart. Nowhere in the Bible is it found that a person has to pray a prayer to be saved. God does not hear a prayer unless you go to God in the name of Jesus Christ, The Only Mediator between God and man. Jesus Christ is not your Mediator unless he is your Lord and Savior. So according to God, the steps are, ﬁrst, you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. By believing as Acts 16:31 indicates, you are saved! Acts 16:30,31 is the only time in the Bible where the question is asked, “what must I do to be saved?” God answering through Paul said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. By being saved, Jesus Christ is your Lord, Savior, and Mediator between God and your self. Now you can pray to God, because you have the Mediator, Jesus Christ. I believe that when a person “prays” to God, without being saved, his prayer goes no higher than the ceiling, and God probably says, “Who do you think you are, to think that you can come to Me, without coming to Me in the only possible way that I have set out in My Word? For you come to Me, through My Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the One and Only Mediator between you and Me.” You don’t just pull Jesus Christ out of the air, and say today I want You to get me to God, by my go-between for God! It doesn’t work that way. Jesus Christ is either your Lord and Savior, making Him your Mediator, or, if Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Savior. He is not your Mediator. I believe it is very important to stress that you are saved by believing only. John 3:16, probably the most quoted verse in the Bible, says that, “whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Again, this passage clearly prescribes believing, not repeating a prayer. In Jon 3:4, Nicodemus asks Jesus, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into this mother’s womb, and be born?” He was asking this in regard to Jesus’ statement in John 3:3, that a man needs to be born again Jesus’ answer in John 3:5 and following is “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Nowhere does Jesus say, pray to be saved, it is always believe.

Years ago, I heard Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse say “I’m deeply offended when I hear a prayer that does not end with the idea that God must be approached only through the Name and the Being of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 1:13 says “In whom (Christ) ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.” Romans 10:9 tells us “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hat raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth (ﬁrst) unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession (next) is made unto salvation.” How many people have gone to hell or are going to hell by putting their trust in the ungodly “pray the sinners prayer” or “repeat this prayer after me”, instead of believing John 3:36: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

Luke 23:39-43 tells us “And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, if thou be Christ, save thyself and us.” But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” In these verses in Luke, we see that a man was saved by believing only. The malefactor did not, and was not instructed by Jesus, to pray, to receive salvation. He said unto Jesus, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verify I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” You don’t fool Jesus. Jesus knew that this man believed in Him; that this man believed that this Jesus that he was talking with was the Lord, The Messiah, the Only Begotten Son of God, the Savior, and in believing, the man was saved. Now if you think that you have to pray first; repeat, first, or anything first, before believing, why did Jesus tell him “today thou shalt be with Me in paradise?” OR if there is a need to do for anything to go along with believing believing, why didn’t Jesus tell him what that was? Jesus doesn’t make mistakes! God’s Word is true. You don’t (really you can’t), add to or take away from God’s Word, and it be true. Just leave His Word alone, and do what God said, believe, Psalm 119:89” “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Revelations 22:18,19” For/testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Take your Bible and check the references that we contained herein—nothing added to and nothing taken away; and when you hear “the plan of salvation” from anyone, get your Bible out and see if it is God speaking or “someone’s” idea. I can’t see “ten steps” to salvation, I can see only one step: believe. The malefactor on the cross had but one step, and he took it. You, I, we all have “one step,” believe. Please take it, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation.
