Council members visit mine By Rob Dowdy

rdowdy@communitypress.com

In a move meant to offer fellow Newtown Village Council members a glimpse at a working underground mine prior to a resolution opposing a similar mine in Anderson Township, council members Ken Pulskamp and Doug Evans recently toured an underground mine in Williamsburg, in eastern Clermont County. During the visit, they asked questions to get a better understanding of the workings of the mine and how it affects neighbors. Ron Wright, vice president of aggregates at Arch Materials Limestone Mine, said he’s familiar with the operation Martin-Marietta runs, and the company’s mines tend to work in a similar fashion. He said Arch Materials uses the federal requirements as minimum standards, and he believes other companies follow that model for fear of getting penalized. The Williamsburg mine takes up about 53 acres above ground and mines about 350 acres below. The proposed Martin-Marietta mine is about 50 acres above ground and 400 below ground. Wright said Arch Materials faced opposition from neighbors concerned about the noise and pollution, but numerous steps were taken to alleviate those concerns. For instance, he said the mine’s blasting is only rarely heard above ground, and all the explosives are kept in the mines while security and other employees are on site every hour of the day. The mine is surrounded by a tall berm with

Pulskamp and fellow councilman Doug Evans took a tour of the facility to see how it compares to the potential mine being discussed in Anderson Township.

Later that night

After the recent tour of the Williamsburg underground mine, Newtown Village Council was expected to vote on a resolution opposing the Martin-Marietta mine in Anderson Township. However, after a lengthy debate, the issue was tabled. Councilman Mark Kobasuk, who brought the issue before council, decided to get some more information on the mine before moving forward with a resolution. trees to lessen the sight of the work being done, as well as the noise. Trucks coming and going in the facility pass through a tirewashing system to ease concerns

of dust and dirt making its way onto roads. “We want to earn people’s trust,” Wright said, adding that in several years of operation, Arch

Materials has only fielded a couple minor complaints. Pulskamp said he was disappointed only he and Evans made the trip to the mine, arguing that opposing the Anderson Township mine without understanding how it works is a mistake that could cost future employment and the tax base in the nearby township. “People shouldn’t be allowed to make decisions without being educated,” Evans said.

Some mosquitoes in Anderson Township have become more than annoying pests. A sample of the insects recently taken from Sunmont Drive, off Nordyke Road, tested positive for West Nile Virus. Greg Kesterman, environmental health director for the Hamilton County Public Health District, said the mosquitoes were discovered during random testing conducted at various locations. “It’s very likely that West Nile is found throughout the county,” he said. “We’re trying to educate people on how to reduce the population of mosquitoes.” Kesterman said health district staff are monitoring stagnant water pools within a half-mile radius of the positive test site and alerting residents who live in the area.

Though a positive sample was taken from Anderson Township, Kesterman said it is not unique to that area and West Nile Virus can be found throughout Ohio. The viral disease is transmitted from infected mosquitoes to humans, can cause flu-like symptoms and is more likely to affect people 50 years and older. However, according to the Ohio Department of Health, 80 percent of people who have West Nile Virus do not experience any symptoms and one in 150 people will develop severe illness from the virus. In Ohio, only one mild case of West Nile Virus has been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as of Sept. 1. Kesterman said it is important for citizens to drain standing water to reduce mosquito breeding grounds and take precautions to avoid mosquito bites.

The Anderson Township Park District is still negotiating with Metropolitan Sewer District for an easement. The sewer district is planning to install a sewer system along Round Bottom Road that would span the entire length of Riverside Park. the additional 20-foot temporary easement for sewer line construction. Trees around the baseball field would be removed and the park district would not be permitted to place any permanent structures on part of the easement. Duffy Beischel, president of the board of park commissioners, said the restriction could disrupt plans for the future of Riverside Park. “If you start messing with that, you impact our

ability to operate the park,” he said at a recent meeting. The park district had plans to install lights around the park or plant more trees. The park district has asked the sewer district to provide empirical cost data for constructing the sewer line on the opposite side of Round Bottom Road to avoid the park. “If there’s no getting around it this, they’ll have to work around us,” Beischel said. The sewer district offered more than $58,000 to the park district for the easement, which is close to the property’s appraised value. Tony Dick, project engineer for the sewer district, has said the project will cost more than $6 million and construction is scheduled for 2010.

“It was very thrilling,” Cook said of his trip. “It was humbling because everyone was greeting you like you were a hero, but I didn’t join the Navy to be a hero.” Recently married and no longer qualifying for the college exemption, Cook enlisted in the Navy in 1942 rather than wait for the draft. He began lab technician training at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland in July 1943 and Cook’s eventually landed in San Francisco where he was part of an attack transport. Cook said he primarily worked in the Philippines where his ship took troops ashore and acted as a floating hospital tending to the wounded. Though he considered extending his time in the service, the war was over before Cook was back in the United States and the trip to the memorials allowed him to reflect on his time spent in the military. “When you look back on it, we were very fortunate,” he said. “I didn’t get wounded or injured and to see these other people who

Redskins, 3-0, ready to roll North Anderson travels to DeSales in week 4 By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

The Anderson Redskins’ focus on scoring points for the 2009 playoffs overshadows memories of Anderson’s two-game series against Columbus DeSales in 2008. Anderson travels to Columbus for its week-four game against DeSales (2-1) at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18, after the teams went 11 against each other last fall. In week three, Anderson easily improved to 3-0 as the Redskins cruised to a victory at home over Boone County, 63-14. “The competition level steps up a lot this week,” Anderson head coach Jeff Giesting said of DeSales. “It’s going to be a big game for playoff implications. Last year doesn’t have any bearing on it for us.” Anderson ended DeSales’ season in 2008 as the Redskins bested the Stallions during the Division II state semi-finals, 14-10. During the 2008 regular season, DeSales posted a 38-17 win over a Redskin team riddled with injuries. The Redskins are relatively healthy entering the week-four game this fall, Giesting said. “We are dinged up a little bit but I don’t think we have anyone who will be out next week,” Giesting said of his starters. Though the Redskins fully expected to start at 30, Anderson dominated the first three games of the season while out-scoring its opponents by a 148-20 margin. “We felt like we should be 3-0 at this time but we are happy with how we are playing on both sides of the ball,” Giesting said. During its 63-14 win over Boone County in week three, Anderson’s offense was unstoppable in the first five minutes of the game. Anderson quarterback Brandon Bornhauser dove into the corner of the end zone following a 17-yard touchdown run just 1:29 into the first quarter. The Redskins extended its lead over Boone County to 14-0 with a 13-yard touchdown run from senior Kyle Slater with 8:42 remaining in the first quarter. Slater scored again just moments later on a 33-yard touchdown run with 6:48

left in the first quarter to give Anderson a 21-7 lead. Bornhauser scored two more touchdowns before the end of the first half as Anderson entered halftime with a 49-7 lead. “We had some things that we hadn’t used yet and that element of surprise helped us,” Giesting said of the win over Boone. “Brandon did a nice job reading things. He is an elusive runner. “He and Kyle are a pretty good one-two punch,” Giesting added. Anderson out-gained Boone County by a 479242 yard margin in week three. Bornhauser rushed for 207 yards on 10 carries and scored four touchdowns on the ground. The quarterback was also 2-for-3 passing for 41 yards. Slater nearly averaged 20 yards a carry while toting the ball seven times for 139 yards. Slater scored three rushing touchdowns against Boone County. Defensively, Chris Shingleton and Thomas Krutka each recorded an interception against Boone County. Tony Martini and Payne Rankin each recovered a fumble during the win. Anderson recovered four fumbles and recorded 15 interceptions during its 3-0 start. The Redskins were ranked No. 6 in Cincinnati according to the Enquirer’s Division I poll for week two.

The McNicholas offense has sputtered the past two weeks, scoring only 22 points in the past two weeks in losses to Turpin and Loveland. The Rockets will look to put an end to the two-game slide when they face Chaminade Julienne on Sept. 18 at Turpin. Quarterback Matt Staubach scored the lone McNick touchdown against Loveland and has all but one of the Rockets touchdowns this season.

Turpin and Northwest both stand at 3-0 as the undefeated teams prepare for a week-four showdown. The Spartans travels to face Northwest at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18, as both squads aim to keep undefeated seasons alive. Turpin’s Will Stocker had a huge game in week three to lead the Spartans to victory over Indian Hill, 34-14. Stocker carried the ball an astounding 45 times while racking up 336 yards and four touchdowns against Indian Hill. Turpin took a 13-0 lead over Indian Hill in the first quarter with a pair of touchdowns from Stocker. The Spartans extended

its lead to 27-7 before the end of the first half. Stocker found the end zone again and quarterback Eric Martin hooked up with Michael Millikin on a sevenyard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Northwest – led by UCrecruit Preston Brown – dominated during its 3-0 start while out-scoring its opponents by a 119-35 margin. During its 3-0 start, Turpin out-scored its opponents by a 98-45 margin. According to the Enquirer’s Division II-VI poll following week two, Turpin was ranked No. 2 in Cincinnati behind only No. 1 Winton Woods. Northwest was ranked No. 8 in the Division II-VI

The undefeated squads from Summit Country Day and Lockland square off during a Silver Knight road game in week four at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18. During its 3-0 start, Lockland out-scored its opponents by a 109-44 margin. However, Summit’s margins of victory have been even more impressive this fall. Through three wins, Summit had out-scored its opponents by a 130-0 margin. Summit improved to 3-0 with its 41-0 win over Oyler in week three. Silver Knight senior back Bradley Evan produced 122 yards and four touchdowns for Summit against Oyler. Quarterback Robbie Selker, also a Summit senior, completed 11 passes for 168 yards in week three.

Turpin grads help 5-1 start for UC Clermont The UC Clermont Cougars’ womens volleball team launched into its quest for conference and national success with an impressive 5-1 start this fall. The Cougars recorded a pair of wins at its UC Clermont Volleyfest on Saturday, Sept. 5, while improving to 5-1. UC Clermont bested Ohio University-Lancaster, 3-0 (25-13, 25-16, 28-26), and Ohio State UniversityMansfield, 3-0 (25-13, 259, 25-12), during the home event.

Turpin graduates Erica Hoctor and Jaimie Martin are both beginning their junior seasons for the Cougars. The Cougars ended the 2008 season with a successful run at the U.S. Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) National Championship tournament. UC Clermont won an exciting five-set match over Robert Morris-Springfield in the fifth-place game. The team also achieved an historic first last season – a No. 1 national ranking for

two weeks in the USCAA coaches’ poll. This season, the Cougars will be attempting to qualify for the national tournament for the fourth-consecutive year. The Cougars also won its fifth-consecutive ORCC conference championship in 2008. Cougar head Coach Joe Harpring summarizes the 2009 team as a blend of experienced players with a few newcomers. Senior middle hitter and two-time Ohio Regional Campus Conference (ORCC)

Most Valuable Player Kelley Koons returns for her final season. Junior outside hitter Jaci Stewart and Hoctor, a libero, combine with Koons to provide a wealth of leadership for the Cougars. The 2009 schedule shapes up to be the toughest in the history of the UC Clermont volleyball program. Central State University, an NCAA Division II opponent, will be visiting the Cougardome. The Cougars will travel

to play NCAA Division III foes from Transylvania University and Defiance College. Not only will the team be competing for another ORCC title but the Cougars are also provisional members of the new Ohio Collegiate Athletic Conference (OCAC). UC Clermont plays all home games at its Student Activities Center or “Cougardome” on campus. The full 2009 schedule and additional information is at www.ucclermont.edu under the athletics link.

Anderson Township is in excellent financial shape As Anderson Township fiscal officer, I feel compelled to respond to candidate Mike Paolucci’s recent guest column regarding Anderson Center on Five Mile Road. My purpose is to clarify several points. First of all, implying that most of the $30-million bond issue was used for the new building is way off base. Other than the funding earmarked for Anderson Center, there were five other project areas noted in the bond issue that totaled more than $8 million. These five uses were: • Beechmont Avenue improvements (parallel access ways, intersection improvements, gateways and landscaping). • The Five Mile Trail and connecting related trails. • The Ohio River Trail project.

and township offices conservatively occupying around 30 to 35 percent of Anderson Center, $5 to $6 million from the bond issue can be attributed directly to township offices. The remaining space at the center includes offices for the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce, Anderson Community Television offices and studio, Summerfair, a 223-seat theater, an Emergency Operations Center, a history room, banquet facilities, storage, dressing areas and several smaller community meeting rooms. The special TIF (Tax Increment Financing) Anderson employs is a township-wide, TIF involving more than 1,800 parcels, as opposed to a project-specific TIF involving one or more contiguous

parcels. A township-wide TIF gives us more flexibility where capital improvements can be made as opposed to a project-specific TIF. Anderson Township’s TIF has not raised your taxes, but diverts funds from the county that probably would not have been spent in Anderson. The Anderson Township Park District has been the beneficiary of TIF funds and the Forest Hills Local School District has received all (about $37 million through 2008) of the funds it would have received had the TIF not been in place. Additionally, because of the way the TIF was structured, Forest Hills schools saved well over $10 million in deductions that would have occurred as the result

Huebner seeks re-election for Forest Hills school board seat For the past four years I have had the privilege of serving on the Forest Hills school board. I hope to have your support and vote Nov. 3 so that I can serve for another four years. It’s been a busy term and I truly believe I have contributed to the successes of our district. During that time I also gave birth to two daughters. Adding motherhood to my education background has made me even more passionate about shaping and guiding our school district. I have served as the curriculum ‘expert’ on the board, and have enjoyed reading many books and reviewing different curriculums. I believe that my background as an English teacher and a journalism advisor has given me invaluable insights that have led to improvements in the curriculum. I have devoted much time during my board tenure checking more than 350 policies for our district and making sure they are up-to-date. My hands-on involvement has enabled the board to gain insight before adopting policies for the district. I’ve served on the facilities committee as well as the technology committee, which created the

Community I am dedicatPress guest ed to providing columnist the best educational experience possible and feel a personal responsibility to each of our 7,835 Forest Hills students. In order to achieve this goal, I believe there are three key areas that our district must address in the near future. I see these as three pillars that hold up our district. First, Forest Hills needs a new superintendent in July 2010 with the retirement of Dr. Patzwald. The new superintendent will have big shoes to fill, but I feel that it is very important we find a leader who will continue to foster community engagement and form positive relationships with all the constituents in Anderson Town-

ship and the village of Newtown. Second, the school board needs to focus on community engagement. I would like to increase involvement by the community, especially when it comes to levies and facility issues. Involving the community allows people to have a voice and helps give the board alternative perspectives. Third, being fiscally responsible is a must for a school district with more than 800 employees. This involves looking at all of our options for the next levy and working on a facilities plan that helps all buildings in this district. These priorities are intertwined and in the end, they all work toward building the best educational experience for our students, my main goal as your representative on the Forest Hills school board. If you would like to learn more about me, support my campaign (financially, volunteering or by putting up a yard sign) or offer any suggestions, visit my Web site: www.tracyhuebner.com.

Anderson Twp.: Remember when? Soon the History Room in Anderson Center will be open, displaying 200 years of Anderson history. How many residents will be able to say “Remember when Beechmont had only two lanes, or when Anderson had streetcars?” However, thanks to our elected trustees, so much progress has been made within the last decade that most of us can play “remember when” within that relatively short timeframe. Remember when there were few connecting sidewalks, and most residents couldn’t safely visit a friend a few blocks away without driving there? When our children couldn’t safely walk to their nearby school or park? When there was no paved off-road trail to enjoy a pleasant walk with family, friends, maybe a dog – a trail meandering through woods, with few road crossings, patrolled by sheriff’s officers on bicycle? Remember when, if you wanted to attend a good theater production, vocal ensemble, chamber orchestra performance, or view art exhibits, you had to drive to downtown Cincinnati? When your kids had a

music recital, it didn’t seem as much of a “big deal” when it was held in a church basement? When, if you wanted to have a nice wedding reception or rent space for some other large private gathering, you usually ended up in Eastgate, Loveland or downtown? When your civic group or club had nowhere to meet regularly? When, if you worked at the hospital, healthplex, library, doctor’s or real estate offices, or anywhere near the center of Anderson, you had no place to take a pleasant lunch-time stroll, much less a walk around a lake with waterfalls? When there was no place to take your children to cross over stepping stones above rushing water, to try out a toy electric boat or feed the ducks? Now we have the new Anderson Center, lake and park. Remember when Five Mile Road had an ugly guardrail down the center where litter always collected, rather than landscaped medians, intersection walls and margins with trees and seasonal

of calculations involving the state’s school foundation formula. TIF can only be used for capital improvements. Remember, township government, by law, cannot expend funds for private property improvements, only for public purposes. So the assertion that Anderson Township could have spent funds on retail of any kind is not accurate. Most operating funds come from real estate taxes. Anderson is in excellent financial shape and no new taxes are anticipated for the foreseeable future. Please visit your Anderson Center for a tour of the facilities mentioned and check it out for yourselves. Ken Dietz is Anderson Township’s fiscal officer.

flowers? Remember when you could never find a good parking space at Kroger, and the Beechmont Mall really was “dead?” Remember when it was more difficult, less convenient, and even dangerous to shop on Beechmont – when you had to go back onto the highway to go to the store next door, when there were no address signs, parallel access-ways and no landscaping? Remember before the trustees established a full range of citizen committees and commissioned a citizen-generated Anderson Plan to create a vision for the Anderson’s future? Remember when you probably wouldn’t have imagined that all these improvements could be made without raising our local government taxes (only one “stretched,” voter-approved public safety levy since 2000), while continuing to be fiscally sound even in the midst of a serious national recession? No crisis in Anderson. We all owe the current of board of township trustees a resounding “Thanks, I do remember.” Vivian Kiel lives on Salem Road in Anderson Township.

Looking for an 18th century blanket chest or a cannonball from the Civil War? How about an art deco lamp or a board game from the 1950s? Chances are good that Doug Master has it. He owns Master Pieces Antiques on Red Bank Road with his wife, Mary Pat. The store rents space to 51 antique dealers and Master said that sets his place apart from others. “The key to our success is (the dealers) have interesting stuff and it’s priced to sell,” he said. “We have constantly updated inventory.” Master said his parents, who were collectors, first introduced him to antiques and his love for American history has kept this passion alive. Customers range from college students shopping for dorm furniture to art fans looking to expand their collections, and prices range from $10 to more than $1,000.

When people turn into sheep For sheep to be sheep is admirable. That’s their true nature. Sheep are never extolled today or in the scriptures as being clever or courageous. They seem more helpless than resourceful. They frequently wander off and get lost and are easy prey for predators. When in trouble, they usually panic and bleat for help from the shepherd. Sheep are not very smart. Yet, who can blame a sheep for being a sheep? They live what they are. What would be troubling would be to see a bird or a human try to live as a sheep. Especially a human. We’ve been created with a rational nature. We are to grow, develop insight and wisdom, possess a mind that enables us to seek and recognize

truth and have the courage to live by it. Humans are supposed to need other human shepherds less and less as they mature. When immature, and still growing, we need parents, disciplinarians and teachers – guides outside ourselves. When we grow up – if we grow up – our guidance comes chiefly from within ourselves; a well-formed conscience and sense of responsibility. Guides outside of us never become completely unimportant, but much less necessary. A sad thing seems to be happening. Too many people seem to be acting as sheep. Sheeple are people who act like sheep. When that occurs, we don’t use our minds to study problems thoroughly and understand them effectively.

We stop looking for truth. We graze on sound bites, slogans and little bits of information lying on the ground that taste good. When we are turning into sheeple, we lose sight of truth and priorities. We become easy prey for manipulation by politicians, advertisers, bureaucrats, and sometimes even by people we call religious leaders. Our shepherds are called spin doctors – false shepherds who have no interest in the common good, us, or the truth, only their own agenda. As sheeple we have a strong flock instinct. We need to think and act as everybody else. It’s said that the instincts and logic of a mob gradually become lower than the individuals that comprise the mob. We turn our minds over to others.

Sheeple are dazzled by words and forget justice; are moved by emotions and forget logic. We believe peers, advertisers, politicians and celebrities about what is important in life. We acquiesce to anyone who claims to speak for God. The masses of people have been pictured as a huge pyramid. Most of us are depicted toward the bottom somewhere, and the numbers become fewer as the pyramid narrows and ascends. Psychologists such as Abraham Maslow urge us to become self-actualized and move upward. That means to grow in knowledge and personal awareness of our own state and truths of reality. The journey upward is very difficult, but possible. Great spiritual teachers such as Jesus Christ told us

what happens Father Lou when we are Guntzelman transformed from Perspectives sheeple to people, “ … you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” Free from what? Free from a flock mentality. Free from not recognizing our dignity. Free from ignorance, deception and being used by others. Free from our defenses and illusions in order to become our truest self. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@community press.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.

Shipping and handling charges alert Ads for products on TV and in print that don’t disclose the shipping and handling charges are becoming increasingly common. Such charges should be carefully considered before ordering because sometimes they can be quite substantial. That’s what a Westwood woman has learned. Sue LaRue has been analyzing ads and found several that either don’t disclose the charge or do so in very small print. “I think they’re saying two things. I think they’re saying ‘free shipping’ or ‘plus ship-

The shipping and handling was $65.80, but I didn’t know that till I got the package in the mail,” LaRue said. The packing slip showed the total cost came to more than $100 – something she says should have been disclosed upfront. She checked ads for products from different companies and found this is becoming more common. One ad touted the product as only costing $14.99, but

LaRue Hey Howard! answered an ad she saw on TV. “It said on TV it was $19.99 plus shipping. I went online and ordered it. No place did it say how much the shipping was,” she said. But, even after she placed

So, I contacted the company LaRue had ordered from and was told they don’t disclose the shipping and handling charges in the ad because the same ad is used in Canada and charges will be quite different there. They maintain they do disclose the charges before the transaction is completed – and after the state sales taxes are added. But, LaRue said she never saw that disclosure. And, while you can cancel your order and get back your money, you can’t get back the shipping costs.

the small print at the bottom said unless you cancel you’ll be charged three monthly payments of $39.99. After LaRue complained to the company about the shipping charges, a representative agreed to give her a $15 credit. But that still means the items she wanted cost her $40, and the shipping and handling cost $50 – more than the items themselves. “I just feel like they’re deceptive and if people aren’t paying attention they’re going to end up spending a lot of money they may not be able to get back,” LaRue said.

Bottom line, carefully watch out for shipping and handling charges in both TV and print ads. If they are not disclosed in the ad, be sure to look for the charges before you place your order. As we’ve seen sometimes those charges can be more than the items themselves.

Relish your fresh peppers this season

My husband Frank and I went to an Amish country produce auction in B a i n bridge, Ohio, near The Seven Caves, at the invitation of Rita f r i e n d s Heikenfeld Bert and B o b Rita’s kitchen Villing. It was something to see. As we approached the auction shelter, we saw horse-drawn wagons with huge amounts of pumpkins, melons and produce enter the graveled area. I understood that folks could bid on the whole wagonload. Inside the shelter you could walk around and check out the produce in smaller units, like a bushel of squash, three pecks of cucumbers, even up to 100 or so pumpkins and gourds. The little Amish boys were so cute – running around barefoot with suspendered overalls and hats.

Bert and I bought some beautiful red and green peppers. I couldn’t wait to get home to make Bert’s red pepper relish. I also made stuffed peppers for supper, with rice, lamb, tomato sauce and seasonings.

Bert’s red pepper relish

No real recipe, but here are Bert’s guidelines slightly adapted by me. Makes 7 to 8 half pints. Measure ingredients after dicing. 6 cups of finely diced red bell peppers (or green, yellow, etc.) 11⁄2 cups finely diced onions Boiling water 1 ⁄2 cup diced jalapeños (opt.) Grind up peppers and onions in food processor, blender or just chop fine. Put in bowl and pour boiling water to cover. Let sit five minutes, then drain. Make brine.

Bring to boil:

2 cups vinegar (I used

Pour into hot jars, clean rims and seal. Process in boiling water bath five minutes. You can also just cook this up, cool, put in freezer containers and freeze.

I love her dumplings with the wonderful cinnamon flavor. They are always the first thing to go at any of our events. This is for Nancy, who began cooking at age 11. “My mother was a wonderful cook and my best friend. She passed away last year,” she wrote. Nancy wanted to re-create her Mom’s dumpling recipe which used brown sugar and cinnamon. Nancy said her Mom’s sauce was a thin vanilla sauce using cinnamon. I’ve adapted this only slightly. 1 double pie crust 8 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and cored (I’ve used whatever apples I had on hand) 4 teaspoons butter Mix the following and set aside: 1 cup granulated or brown sugar 1 generous tablespoon cinnamon Divide the prepared pie crust into eight equal pieces. Roll out each piece into the shape of a square about 6 to 8 inches. To test the size, place an apple in the center of it and see if you can bring the 4 corners up to meet at the top. Place 1 peeled and cored apple in the center of one of the squares of rolled pie crust. Fill the cavity with some of the sugar/cinnamon mix-

ture. Dot the top of the sugar with 1⁄2 tsp. butter. Bring one corner of the pastry up over the top of the apple. Take the opposite corner and overlap it over the first one. Moisten to seal these two together. Repeat with the last two corners of the pastry. Moisten to seal the last two corners together. Place the 8 dumplings in a sprayed baking dish.

Cinnamon sauce:

Combine the following syrup ingredients and cook for three minutes. If you can’t find cinnamon hearts, use a teaspoon of cinnamon and a drop or two of red food coloring if you want. 11⁄2 cups sugar 11⁄2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 cups water 3 tablespoons lemon juice 7-8 cinnamon decorations (little cinnamon Valentine hearts) or more to taste 1 teaspoon vanilla (Rita’s addition) Pour the syrup over the dumplings in the baking dish. If you want, baste as they bake. Bake at 375 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes until well browned and a fork pressed into the apple tests soft.

Ratings recently released by the American Hospital Association through its Hospitals and Health Networks magazine show Mercy is again being recognized as a national leader in effectively applying information technology. The Most Wired Survey and Benchmarking study measures the use of information technology at 1,314 hospitals nationwide. The survey reviewed how hospitals use new technology to address five key areas: Safety and quality, customer service, business processes, workforce and public health. At Mercy Hospital Anderson and Mercy Hospital Clermont, advancements in technology are helping patients every day. The hospitals both provide digital mammography, which is proven to be far

more effective in the early detection of breast cancer. Digital imaging provided through the Picture Archive Communications System also enhances the results from all types of imaging studies, from X-rays to CT scans, helping provide better outcomes for patients. And new technology is being used at the hospitals to improve patient safety in a variety of ways, such as making sure every patient receives the right medication and the right dose, at the right time. “Winning the ‘Most Wired’ award once was a great accomplishment for our organization,” said Patti Schroer, president/CEO of Mercy Hospital Anderson. “To win it three times shows that the technology we are implementing is truly making a difference for our patients and physi-

cians.” Mercy is also beginning to implement a new electronic medical records system that will increase digital connections among all sites and provide better coordinated healthcare; which means safer, higher-quality medical care and more convenient services for patients. “Keeping up with the latest advancements is always important because there are strides being made all the time in healthcare technology,” said Gayle Heintzelman, president/CEO of Mercy Hospital Clermont. “This recognition shows we are doing a great job as an organization of effectively implementing new technology that can change lives and save lives.” For more information on the 100 Most Wired, visit www.hhnmostwired.com.

Beechmont Players announce cast for new comedy Beechmont Players, Cincinnati’s premiere eastside community theatre group announce the cast of their fall production of Paul Slade Smith’s “Unnecessary Farce.” This frantically funny eight-door farce begins a

theatre season celebrating 50 years of quality community entertainment. In “Unnecessary Farce,” two inexperienced police officers have set up a “sting” to capture an embezzler. Do things run smoothly? Of course not.

Ask now, so there are no questions later.

A respectable funeral home won’t mind being put to the test.

Q. Are you staffed by licensed funeral professionals specially trained to guide me through the arrangement process? Q. Are you an established community member with a respectable history of service? Q. Do you offer a guaranteed funeral program and secure funding options? Q. Can I count on you to provide caring, personalized service and to honor my family’s individual needs?

Enter the mayor, the accountant, the head of security, the mayor’s wife and a mysterious Scotsman and complications abound. Will the embezzled money be recovered? Can the cops manage to capture the crooks? “Unnecessary Farce” is a tight, well-written play and one of the funniest, laughout-loud comedies you’ve seen in a long time. “Unnecessary Farce” is an adult comedy. Ray Smith last seen in Beechmont’s successful regional premiere of Steve Martin’s “The Underpants,” plays Officer Eric Sheridan, a bookish guy who finds himself completely out of his element. When not performing or working as a chemical engineer, Smith enjoys ballroom dancing. Kentucky resident Laura Boggs portrays excitable and entirely unthreatening Officer Billie Dwyer. Boggs is a new addition to the Beechmont stage, although community theatre fans may recognize her from

roles at the Showboat Majestic or Village Players. In addition to acting, Boggs loves playing Rockband and spending time with her family. Elizabeth Chinn Molloy, most recently seen in Beechmont’s sold-out summer smash hit “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” is accountant Karen Brown. Community Theatre aficionados also may recall her from performances for Loveland Stage Company, Mariemont Players and Tri-County Players. Longtime Beechmont Players member Bill Favret is Mayor Meekly, not too quick on the pick-up, but a sweet, sweet soul. In addition to his work with Beechmont, Favret has performed with La Comedia Dinner Theater and Showboat Majestic. Jack of all trades Faye Crawford plays his wife Mary. In addition to her skills as an actress, Faye is an accomplished musician (she co-directed the youth chorus for “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” as well as per-

forming in the orchestra), playwright and is also an award-winning costumer. Crawford’s first show for Beechmont Players was 20 years ago – for current director Edward Spencer. Beechmont regular Stephen Beck is Agent Frank, the head of security at town hall and a man frightened by his own shadow. Beck’s recent performances at Beechmont include roles in “The Pirates of Penzance,” “Room Service” and “Wait Until Dark.” Beck is also a Kung Fu enthusiast. Anderson resident Tim Rogers is professional hitman Todd, an angry Scotsman with an indecipherable accent. Rogers’s many roles for Beechmont Players include parts in “Bell,” “Book and Candle,” “Blithe Spirit,” “Funny Money,” “Arsenic and Old Lace,” “Father of the Bride” and “The Foreigner” among others. Rogers is fascinated by Native American culture. Directing/producing team Edward Spencer and Cheryl Boettger have more than 75 production credits between them, as well as extensive

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

been contacted are asked to notify Cathy Wilmers Recker at 2651283.

its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
