Forest Hills school board candidates state views By Forrest Sellers

Facilities’ views

fsellers@communitypress.com

Candidates for the Forest Hills Local School District Board of Education consider funding, facilities and a superintendent search central issues in the upcoming election. Five candidates, two of whom are incumbents, are vying for the three available seats on board in November. All are residents of Anderson Township. Current school board Bissinger President Julie Bissinger, who has served five years on the board, considers funding one of the biggest issues. “The first and most critical challenge is to insure adequate school funding is available to continue districtwide excellence while Huebner living in times of decreased state funding and a difficult economy,” she said. Incumbent Tracy Huebner, who has served four years on the board, said the search for a new superintendent will be a priority. “It’s critical we find a leader who will continue to foster community engage- Davis ment and form positive relationships with (the) constituents,” she said. Mike Davis, a parent volunteer and member of the Turpin Boosters, said attention will need to be paid to the district budget. “The current recession coupled with new man- Heis dates by the state will challenge our school district, and keen financial management will be imperative,” he said. Forest T. Heis, who helped with the recent levy campaign and whose father currently serves on the board, said in addition to searching for a new superintendent, the dis-

The Forest Hills Local School District Board of Education candidates agree the condition of the school buildings will need to be addressed in the near future. “Wilson (Elementary School) is an outdated facility,” said incumbent Julie Bissinger. “Every square inch of space is used. They are out of room.” Bissinger said she would support a combined facility for Wilson and an early childhood education center. Incumbent Tracy Huebner said she would like additional feedback before taking a stance regarding new buildings. “I think we need to see what the Facilities Committee comes up with,” she said. “I also want to see what the community wants.” Mike Davis said his children have attended school at Wilson. “My opinion is Wilson needs to be rebuilt, but as part of an overall strategic facilities plan,” he said. Forest T. Heis said he favors “smaller neighborhood schools.” “With the current state mandate for all-day kindergarten, a new school may be needed, and a new Wilson may accomplish that,” he said. Pat Hendry Sullivan said she also supports building a new Wilson Elementary. “I toured Wilson, and I do believe it should be rebuilt,” she said. “We are pretty much at capacity for most of the schools.” trict will need to continue to gauge funding needs. “The financial situation from the state level to our individual families is strained,” he said. “We need to continue to work diligently providing both value and excellence for our Sullivan community.” Pat Hendry Sullivan, who taught in the Forest Hills School District from 1976 to 2003, said condition of the school buildings is her biggest concern. “The biggest challenges facing our district in the coming year are, first and foremost, aging facilities,” she said. “The board must address this issue as soon as possible.” Most of the candidates agreed an operating levy and/or bond issue would likely need to go before voters in either 2010 or 2011.

Wrecking ball

Anderson High School senior running back Kyle Slater takes a handoff from quarterback Brandon Bornhauser during the first quarter of the Redskins’ win over Winton Woods, 52-38, Friday night. Slater was a wrecking ball in week six of the season as he scored six touchdowns for Anderson. Slater rushed for 226 yards and five touchdowns on 27 carries. Slater also had a 97-yard kick return for a touchdown and racked up 169 yards on four returns. Though Anderson trailed entering the fourth, the Redskins scored three unanswered touchdowns in the final frame while improving to 6-0. Winton Woods fell to 4-2.

Anderson Twp. seeks flood-prone homes By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com

Anderson Township is trying to buy a number of properties in the Little Miami River floodplain. The trustees recently authorized a motion to move forward with a grant application from the Clean Ohio Fund. The grant would help with buying multiple parcels in the northern part of the township, near the Old Fort area. After a series of floods in the late ’90s, Trustee President Al Peter said there were issues with cleaning up debris and the township received funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to buy properties in the direct floodplain and avoid future problems. “These are all little lots (with) few structures and vacant lands,” Peter said.

By the numbers

“It’s not good for anything where there will be any permanent structures.” Assistant Township Administrator Steve Sievers said the area is roughly 50 acres of land divided into nearly 600 parcels. Anderson Township now owns more than half of the parcels, and there are four remaining homes in the floodplain area. Sievers said the program is part of an effort to move as much of

the floodplain property into public ownership as possible. The area is zoned “H Riverfront” and Anderson Township’s comprehensive plan calls for maintaining the floodplain in a natural state to minimize the potential for future property damage. Sievers said the property would likely become a passive, public park and provide recreational access to the Little Miami River.

• 50: Number of acres in the Old Fort floodplain area along the Little Miami River. • 600: Number of parcels in that land area. • 40: Approximate number of land owners. • Four: Number of remaining homes in the area. • 330: Number of parcels owned by Anderson Township. • 23: Number of acres owned by Anderson Township. “We have 13 miles of riverfront, a sizable amount, but not many public spots where folks can access the river,” he said. Sievers added that there are some deed restrictions as to what remains an open space and the township is working with current homeowners to secure the remaining parcels.

Fire district to conduct open houses By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com

Levies on the upcoming Nov. 3 ballot are facing an uphill battle with a still-

struggling economy, but the Little Miami Joint Fire & Rescue District is hoping to appeal to voters by giving them a firsthand look at its fire stations.

What’s going on?

What: Little Miami Fire District open house When: 7-9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8, and Friday, Oct. 9 Where: Newtown fire station (Oct.8), 3537 Church St.; Columbia Township fire station (Oct. 9), 6904 Murray Ave.

ROB DOWDY/STAFF

Little Miami Joint Fire & Rescue District Chief Tom Driggers explains the need for a new fire station in Columbia Township is in part because of the flooding that occurs near the lower apparatus bays. The Fire District has placed a 2.3-mill levy on the ballot in order to replace its two fire stations in Columbia Township and Newtown. On Thursday, Oct. 8, and Friday, Oct. 9, the fire department will host open houses at the two stations so Fire District residents can see for themselves whether the new stations are needed. Fire Chief Tom Driggers said the district has thought long and hard about placing a levy on the ballot this year, but said the fire stations are in disrepair and waiting can only make things worse. “We have to convince all the residents in the district of the need ... and we have a very serious need,” he said. The Columbia Township fire station was built in the early 1950s – an addition

was built in the mid-1980s – and its size has restricted the department from buying various vehicles since

newer equipment is larger than older models. Driggers said the station has also been flooded on

several occasions in recent years because of storm water from heavy rainfall. The Newtown fire station, built in 1841, forces the department to buy and design special equipment to fit through the apparatus bay doors, and Driggers said space concerns make renovating the structure impossible. “I would think it’s one of the oldest active fire station in the nation,” he said.

ROB DOWDY/STAFF

The Little Miami Joint Fire & Rescue District’s station in Columbia Township suffers from low overhead door height, which forces the district to buy vehicles that will fit in the spaces available.

The driver refused medical treatment following the 10 a.m. crash, said Anderson Township Fire Chief Mark Ober. His name and age were not available. No one inside the store was injured. “He put the car in the wrong gear.

Butterbee’s set to open on Beechmont Avenue By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

People from all over the area make the trek out state Route 32 to Mt. Orab just to eat at one special restaurant – Butterbee’s Neighborhood Grille. “We have people who

come from Amelia and Anderson (Township), and all the way from Harrison and Maysville, Ky., to eat here,” said Bob Raper. Raper will be the general manager of the new Butterbee’s when the company opens its second location in the old Tony Roma’s restau-

rant on state Route 125 just off Interstate 275. “People know the name Butterbee’s, it has really trickled out into the community since they opened four years ago,” Raper said. “I think this will be a great location and it’s something (Union) Township

could really use.” Butterbee’s owner Nader David bought the old Tony Roma’s (which was a Montgomery Inn before that) near the end of 2008. “We’ve been successful in our current location and we were looking to expand. We thought the natural way to grow would be to stay close. People are familiar with Butterbee’s around here,” David said. David said Butterbee’s is

a cross between a sports bar and an upscale restaurant – a little like an O’Charley’s. But unlike many restaurants, Butterbee’s is not a chain. “The family really puts a lot of time and energy into the restaurant ... They really care about the product. They focus on hospitality and the quality of the food,” Raper said. Some of their more famous menu items include

the hand-breaded chicken tenders, chicken wings, ribs and fresh Angus burgers. The average dinner costs about $14 and sandwiches cost about $8. “The food is just out of this world,” Raper said. David said they are hoping to open the new location sometime in November. “We are extremely excited about the new location. We’re passionate about our business,” David said

Students create a pizza garden location. They also brainstormed, researched and prioritized each step in the process. After going through the planning and proposal phase, the students realized the project would need to be continued this year as seventh graders. This year, with parent volunteers, students prepared the ground by digging up the sod, leveling the ground and laying landscape fabric and gravel. Next, they began building the self-contained garden from Sam’s Club and sealing it, while small groups continued to prioritize and

Immaculate Heart of Mary students recently created a pizza garden at the school. The project started last year when a sixth grader brought in a packet of carrot seeds to school and asked if they could grow and eat the carrots. From there, the students came up with the idea to grow a pizza and salad garden in an outdoor garden on the school grounds. Students walked the grounds and found four possible locations for the garden. They then wrote a proposal with the pros and cons for each

plan the next steps. The class is calculating how much soil is needed, whether to buy it bulk or bagged, how to transport the soil mixture to the garden site and load it into the raised beds. They are also determining whether to get worms and a compost bin, deciding whether to buy organic soil, manure and seeds and where to buy them. All these decisions will be researched and decided in the coming weeks.

The McNicholas High School Service Club will partake in the Student Philanthropy Project with several other area high schools. The program is a hands-on, student centered program designed to help young people learn how to become effective and inspired philanthropists. All participating schools will receive $1000 to donate to a specific local non-profit service agency. Junior and senior Service Club members will research various local charitable agencies. After research they will narrow the number of agencies, interview the directors or administrators and possibly make site visits. At the end of this process, the students will donate their allotted money to the agency in which they choose. For more information, visit www.studentphilanthropy.org.

Anderson, Turpin earn Governor’s Awards in science Anderson and Turpin high schools were recently awarded Governor’s Awards for excellence in youth science opportunities. Only 90 Ohio schools were selected to receive this honor which acknowledges the accomplishments of both schools and teachers in the 2008-2009 school year. A total of 11 Forest Hills School District teachers also received the Governor’s Award. They are: Dan Yeager, Jeffrey Rodriguez, Bud Lutterbie, Emily Dorsey, Louise Keep, Justin Good Dave Brandon (from Anderson); Erin Walker, Corey Mullins, Carmen Venditto and Barry Riehle (from Turpin). Only 300 teachers in the state were recognized. The Forest Hills Board of Education will acknowledge the accomplishment during its Oct. 19 meeting. To qualify for the Governor’s

Award, each school conducted a local science fair with 20 or more students, sent one or more of these students to one of the Ohio Academy of Science’s 16 district science days and involved students in one or more youth science opportunities beyond the classroom such as State Science Day, visits to museums, mentorship programs and extended field trips. The Ohio Academy of Science initiated this educational partnership program in cooperation with the governor’s office and the Ohio Department of Education to recognize schools and teachers who stimulate student scientific research and extend science education opportunities beyond traditional classroom activities. The Technology Division of the Ohio Department of Development has supported this program since 1985 by grants to the Ohio Academy of Science.

Wilson, Forest Hills recognized by military Writing letters, sending E-mails and preparing and shipping care packages to troops serving overseas is often the good deeds people see when school communities work to show their support of America’s heroes. School communities help in other ways too as they rally to support the families of deployed soldiers. The support of military families recently earned Wilson Elementary School recognition from both the Ohio National Guard and the 73rd Troop Command of the Ohio Army National Guard. Pam Sanders, Wilson PTA president and wife of Major Mark Sanders of the Ohio Army National Guard, nominated both Wilson and the Forest Hills School District

for the recognition. “My husband recently returned from a deployment to Afghanistan with the Ohio Army National Guard,” she said. “During his absence the district, specifically the staff at Wilson, worked especially hard to make a difficult time for our family easier. “At the time I had a daughter at Nagel, a daughter at Wilson, a daughter at Summit and my son was in a private pre-school. The life of a ‘single’ mom with four children in four different schools can be a little tricky. But as usual the Forest Hills School District made it easier.” To show her gratitude, Sanders decided to nominate Wilson and Forest Hills for recognition. Maj. Sanders presented the awards during a recent PTA meet-

Since 2001 Maj. Sanders has been deployed three times, the shortest tour of duty was six months.

“We couldn’t do that without the support of everyone else here at home,” Maj. Sanders said during the PTA meeting. “It’s a stressful situation at

times. It helps to know your family is cared for. Please accept this heartfelt thanks from all of us.” The first award the major presented was the Talon Award from the 73rd Troop Command and was presented to the faculty and staff of Wilson Elementary School. The plaque reads: “In sincere appreciation of your exemplary efforts and unwavering support to the Sanders Family and other Ohio Military Families during mobilizations.” The second plaque from The Ohio National Guard was an Impact Award presented to the Forest Hills School District, Anderson Township and Wilson Elementary School. It reads: “Making a Difference in the lives of Ohio’s Military Heroes.”

Anderson, Turpin roll to 6-0

Rockets best Roger Bacon

By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

Anderson moved one step closer to the Division I playoffs after the Redskins out-lasted Winton Woods, 52-38, to post a muchneeded win during a weeksix shoot-out. Entering week six, Anderson stood at 5-0 and was seventh in the Division I, Region 4 Harbin Ratings with a 9.1879 computer average. LaSalle was positioned in eighth at 8.55 with Elder in first at 13.1429. Anderson’s week-seven opponent from Loveland High School (4-2, 1-0) was 18th in Division I, Region 4 ratings after its 3-2 start. However, Loveland scored a big win over Glen Este, 35-6, in week six. Anderson travels to face Loveland at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9. “After the big game you always have to guard against the upset,” Anderson head coach Jeff Giesting s a i d . “(Loveland) knows they will get a lot of playoff points if they beat us. “We just have to keep our guys focused and get ready for a good Loveland team,” Giesting added. Winton Woods entered week six ranked No. 1 in the Enquirer’s Division II-VI Coaches’ Poll and positioned third in the Division II, Region 8 Harbin Ratings. The Redskins were ranked No. 6 in the Division I poll. Anderson senior Kyle Slater helped the Redskins improve to 6-0 with a sixtouchdown performance in week six. Winton Woods fell to 4-2 with the loss.

Turpin High School quarterback Eric Martin scrambles while looking for an open receiver after picking up a key block from junior Chris Kanoza, seen in the background, during the Spartans' week-six win over Walnut Hills, 34-14. Slater rushed for five touchdowns and returned a kick for a 97-yard touchdown against Winton Woods. “Our offensive line played very well,” Giesting said of Slater’s big night. Giesting highlighted a quartet of senior starters as being leaders of the offensive line including Greg Mancz, Kevin Hetr i c k , D u s t i n Didier and K e i t h Chabot. “Those four seniors have done a really nice job,” Giesting said. All told, Slater accounted for 226 yards on 27 carries, 169 yards on four returns and seven yards on one reception. Slater scored three unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter to lift Anderson to victory. Entering the fourth, the teams were tied, 31-31, after trading scores for most of the night. Jeremiah Goins scored on a 38-yard run with 11:42 remaining in the fourth to give Winton Woods the lead, 38-31.

However, Slater quickly evened the score at 38-38 on a two-yard touchdown run with 10:39 remaining in the game. With 6:24 left in the fourth, Slater scored on a 17-yard run to give the Redskins the lead, 45-38. A late touchdown from Slater on a six-yard run with 1:11 left in the game iced the victory for Anderson. The teams combined for 856 yards of total offense. “Neither defense could stop the other team. (Winton Woods) has some tremendously talented (skill) players,” Giesting said. Winton Woods outgained Anderson by a 380313 yard margin on the ground. But Anderson’s passing game proved to be more productive. Redskin quarterback Brandon Bornhauser threw for 112 yards and a touchdown while going 4-of-8 passing with zero interceptions. Bornhauser also rushed for 82 yards on 15 carries. Anderson’s defense held Winton Woods to just 51 yards through the air with an interception from Kevin Cripe. Kevin Becker led Anderson’s receivers with 91 yards on two receptions and a touchdown. Tommy Chapman connected on a 47-yard field goal for Anderson and scored 10 points including extra points.

Turpin 34, Walnut Hills 14

Turpin moved to a perfect 6-0 on the season with a 34-14 win over Walnut Hills in week six. The Spartans have outscored opponents by a 21159 margin this season and travel to face its rivals from Kings (2-4) in week seven Oct. 9.

Kyle Payne also scored a sack for Anderson during the win. Against Walnut Hills, Turpin produced 513 yards of offense with quarterback Eric Martin leading the way. Martin was 10-of-13 passing for 256 yards and three touchdowns. Running back Wayne Dunham rushed for 88 yards on 16 carries with one touchdown with Will Stocker adding 91 yards on eight carries. Stocker also hauled in three receptions for 26 yards. Fullback Jeff Groene carried the ball once and found the end zone on a 10-yard touchdown run. Groene had two catches for 26 yards. Drew Davis, Shade Whitfield and Dunham each had one touchdown reception in the game. Turpin didn’t turn the ball over once while forcing three Walnut Hills’ turnovers including an interception from Davis. The Spartans were first in the Division II, Region 8 Harbin Ratings with a 11.45 computer average

through Turpin’s 5-0 start. New Carlisle Tecumseh was slotted second at 10.65 with Winton Woods in third at 10.55.

McNick 14, Roger Bacon 3

Roger Bacon took an early 3-0 lead but the Rockets put up 14 unanswered points to take a 14-3 win over the Spartans. McNick quarterback Matt Staubach ran for 104 yards and a touchdown and threw for 83 yards and another touchdown in the win. McNick fullback Pat Fitzgerald had 74 rushing yards for the Rockets (3-3), who are at Purcell Marian on Oct. 10. Tanner Sprong was 7 of 18 passing for 73 yards and the Spartans only managed 54 rushing yards on 26 attempts. Roger Bacon (15) has dropped five in a row and faces Badin on Oct. 9 at Hamilton.

Gates, Spartan ‘D’ stand strong No. 8 Turpin ready for tourney By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

A stout defense and a balanced offensive attack has Turpin High School head coach Jamie Harloff thinking his 7-3-1 Spartan boys’ soccer team is well equipped to handle elimination play. The tournament draw for the Division I Sectional Championships is right around the corner. Harloff is anxious to see where his Spartans land when brackets are drawn Sunday, Oct. 11. “Our schedule is slowing down a little bit and we are getting a chance for our guys to heal after a tough stretch,” Harloff said. “We’ve been stressing consistency building up to the tournament.” Turpin senior Alec Gates, a third-year starting keeper, has only allowed 10 goals in 10 appearances.

MICHAEL E. KEATING/STAFF

Turpin’s Matt Moliterno, center, fights for control as Milford’s Scott Koch, left, and Ryan McHenry keep Moliterno at bay. Gates has five shutouts to his credit with an experienced defensive line including sophomore Alex Williams, senior Tim O’Neil, senior Mark Gierl and junior Taylor Hamilton regularly contributing, Harloff said. “With Alec in goal, I think once we are in the elimination stage it suits us pretty well,” Harloff said. “As long as we can get some scoring then we should do very well.” With eight seniors on the team, Harloff expected to see the Spartans hit the

ground running though Turpin’s season opener didn’t go as planned. Opening against Lakota West, ranked No. 3 in the Enquirer’s Division I Coaches’ Poll for week five, Turpin struggled during a 3-0 loss Aug. 24 while falling to 01. Turpin only let up three goals on one occasion during the entirety of the 2008 season and never allowed four or more. “That was an eye-opener for us because we hadn’t given up three goals in a

long time,” Harloff said. “It was a wake-up call for an experienced back line and keeper.” All of blemishes to Turpin’s record stemmed from contests against ranked foes. In regards to ranked Division I foes, Turpin lost to Lakota West and No. 6 Milford (2-0, Sept. 21) and posted a draw against No. 9 Loveland (2-2, Sept. 3). The Spartans also suffered a 2-0 loss to McNicholas. The Rockets are ranked No. 2 in Cincinnati in the Division II Coaches’ Poll. Turpin is ranked No. 8 in the Division I poll. As far as the Spartans’ offense, a variety of players provide Turpin with scoring which creates a difficult situation for opposing coaches, Harloff said. “We don’t have that superstar player that people can target,” Harloff said. “We have different scorers every night. “I think it makes us dangerous because teams can’t

pinpoint a guy to take out of the match.” Senior Joe Hovde leads the Spartans with 15 points including seven goals and one assists. Senior Michael Petitgout is close behind with 14 points including five goals and four assists. Senior Matt Moliterno (four goals, four assists), sophomore Matt Lippowitsch (three goals, four assists), Gierl (one goal, seven assists), senior Blake Stelzer (four goals) and senior Matt Russell (three goals, one assists) also factor into Turpin’s balanced attack. Standing at 4-0 in its Fort Ancient Valley Conference Cardinal Division, a win during a road game Thursday, Oct. 8, over Wilmington would net the Spartans a conference title. Turpin closes regular season play with a pair of home games including Finneytown at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, and Springboro at noon Saturday, Oct. 17.

Redskin fans part of great football season By Alicia Bridewell Student correspondent

What a great season the Redskin football team is having with an outstanding record of 5-0. No matter what, from the football moms to the Redskin fans, they are all showing their support for this high-achieving team. “I love being the wildest kid in the stands. I like to dress up really goofy for the games and cheering from all places in the student section. Mainly dressing up is my favorite part, like wearing my A-town cape, or an Indian costume with Mr. Miller’s underwear and my Italian chef hat,” said sophomore Pat Campbell, an extreme Redskin fan. The Anderson football team is never a disappointment. With a tight game against Columbus DeSales, the team pulled it together for a 28-25 win. Everyone is prepared for

harder teams ahead and they anticipate the playoffs for being in division one this year. Even though it will be tough, coaches, players, and fans believe they can do it. Though with all the achievements the Redskins have accomplished so far, there is always room for improvement. With many injured players on the team this season, Coach Bruns stated, “It’s definitely a challenge, because the talent we lose can’t be replaced, but it creates opportunities for other players to shine. It also shows the success of the team instead of individual players.” Football players say they feel so successful when they win because they are representing Anderson High School. They say that the excitement on the varsity field is amazing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Bringing Anderson together

I grew up in Anderson Township and moved back in 2004. I am so excited about all of the things that have developed in just the last few years, including finally having a community center to call our own. One of the best things about the new Anderson Center is the way it facilitates bringing people of Anderson together. Whether it is a for a Beechmont Players production, Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra concert, Party on the Plaza, Chamber events, school musical production, or civic meeting, people are flocking to Anderson Center. I read that more than 20,000 have used the center since it opened. Visionary projects like this are what help keep people here and make Anderson the desirable community it is. This center, the trails and all of the recent developments are due to the dedicated ground work put forth by our trustees and administration. It takes courage to do the right thing, and Anderson Center is certainly the right thing for this township. That is one of many reasons why I am going to support Al Peter and Peggy Reis for re-election as trustees this November. Josh Gerth Little Harbor Drive Anderson Township

New grading scale a waste of time

I can’t believe that the Forest Hills school board will waste time discussing a new grading scale. Unless the board is worried

About letters and columns We welcome your comments on editorials, columns, stories or other topics important to you in The Forest Hills Journal. Include your name, address and phone number(s) so we may verify your letter. Letters of 200 or fewer words and columns of 500 or fewer words have the best chance of being published. Please include a photo with a column submission. All submissions may be edited for about hurting the “feelings” of students who receive an “A” with the grade of 93-100 and being politically correct in our present “everyone wins, nobody loses” society, the solution is very, very simple. Don’t worry about an “A” at 93 or an “A” at 90 when someone else received a “B” for a 90. I assume that to calculate the grade of “A”, “B” or “C”, our teachers still must calculate the numerical grade. Just forget the “A”, “B” or “C” and give the numerical grade 95, 90, 89, 85 or whatever they earned. A grade of 94 is better than a grade of 93. Live with it. Harry J. Fermann Denallen Drive Anderson Township

Candidates need to get facts straight

It is a real shame that candidates who engage in political rhetoric for the sole purpose of getting elected can’t even bother to get their facts straight or offer any plans of their own. Michael Paolucci only seems able to take potshots at the

length, accuracy and clarity. Deadline: Noon Friday E-mail: foresthills@communitypress.com . Fax: 248-1938. U.S. mail: See box below.

He claims to be a developer, yet doesn’t even know the value of the Anderson Center location on Five Mile Road, one of the most heavily traveled roads in the township. And as far as being in the middle of a forest, what does he think Anderson is known for? Well, it is our greenspaces. It is about time we heard what he thinks he can do, not what he thinks is wrong. Look out for change! You may get something you didn’t bargain for. Frank Clayton Patricia Lane Anderson Township

Reis and Peter for re-election

Anderson Township trustees and administration really care about their constituents. We observe this in their timely responses to us, whether it is a medical emergency, zoning violation complaint, sidewalk repair or just a request for information. We get answers and actions when we call a trustee or the township offices.

Candidate: Keep property values up, create jobs in Anderson My father escaped from a communist country. Before he escaped he was jailed for singing “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” and witnessed 30 friends executed. His father was beaten so he would be unable to monitor voting. He taught me how fortunate we are to live in this nation, but freedom has a price. My mother’s family goes back 220 years in Anderson Township, with ancestors serving in every conflict since the Revolution. The genius of our nation’s success is balancing unlimited personal and economic freedom (chaos) against unlimited government (order). Our biggest enemy is the never-ending growth of government tipping that balance. We need a fresh look at the role township government plays in this balance and that is why I am asking for your vote. We need trustees who understand government’s role, who will bring jobs and prosperity, without acting like the arrogant federal/state government who add bureaucracy, taxes and regulation. I hear voices suggesting that our trustees have lost focus and frustration exists for spending more than $30 million (TIF is taxpayer money) on a town center that critics call a shrine to government waste.

Others are frustrated by the “Parking Garage to Nowhere,” sarcastically suggesting it should be connected to Alaska’s “Bridge to Gregory D. Nowhere,” and Delev asking what happened to Community other developPress guest ments promised, columnist like the movie theater – or was that just a Field of Dreams? And there are complaints about expenditures on Five Mile Road, including an unproven leftturn lane. I’m concerned that a trustee’s spouse serves on the zoning board. While this may be legal, it creates the appearance of impropriety, if not an actual violation. My legal background could prevent this and other missteps from happening. It’s time for some common sense. I have been leading the way for less government. I stand up for what I believe in regardless of the consequences. I served as the attorney to the Save Our Skins effort to keep Anderson High School’s team name, and the Native American student who was denied the right to be that mascot.

I have been outspoken against government growth and spending, organizing the first TEA parties in 1994, which planted seeds for protests now making national headlines. I stood up to the township when they had a crazy idea to build a firehouse on Birney. I have been active in politics and have worked in state government. I served on several township committees and served as a commissioned infantry officer and military policeman in the National Guard. I have served on the Mental Health Board, the OKI Council of Governments, and an Administrative Judge. My wife, Debbie, and our children, Isaac and Brittney, are known in Anderson for being involved in community. I have coached Little League and soccer. My vision is to make sure we keep property values up, create jobs and keeping Anderson safe. I have a no-nonsense, let’sroll-up-our-sleeves-and-get-towork attitude. I will not hesitate to take on difficult tasks and will set aside politics and work for the community. Gregory D. Delev is an attorney and Anderson Township trustee candidate. He can be reached at greg@gregdelev.com.

Isn’t it wonderful to have a real person answer the phone! Our township government is close to the populace. We can phone or e-mail a trustee 24-7. Try that with a county, state or federal elected official. Our current trustees have created these policies and this is one of the reasons I am supporting Peggy Reis and Al Peter for reelection. Ann Wood Schlesinger, Ph.D. Mountfort Court Anderson Township

Keep Peter, Reis

I support Al Peter and Peggy Reis for re-election as Anderson Township trustees. They have accomplished a great deal in the last four years. While being careful stewards of township finances, they have improved the township with hike and bike trails, sidewalks, landscaping and the beautiful Anderson Center. In the last year I have enjoyed the Center as a member of the Anderson Community Band, attended a retirement dinner and attended meetings of two different community organizations. I am looking forward to the opening of the History Room on Oct. 4. The Center is being used for many purposes by individuals and groups from the community, and future planning includes a veterans memorial. We can continue excellent township government by re-electing Al Peter and Peggy Reis.

JOURNAL

Tracy Zimmerman Huebner has contributed significantly to the Forest Hills School District and should be re-elected to the board for another four years. Before she served on the school board, Tracy was a high school English teacher and I taught with her. Her dedication to students hasn’t changed, whether it was the 120 students in her classroom four years ago or the 7,834 students she serves in our district today, with my son being one of those students. She believes in providing the best educational experience for students and her priorities all support this. In order to continue to give our students the best, we need to find a superintendent to take over after Dr. Patzwald’s retirement. Tracy’s background in education and her experience on the board will help in making this important decision. Other priorities include assessing the district’s facilities and future operating levy, while making smart financial decisions. Tracy wants to work with the community and hear what their vision is for our school district. She is committed to community engagement, believing it will benefit our students and their educational experience. Vote to re-elect Tracy Zimmerman Huebner (www.tracyhuebner.com) on Nov. 3.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

Do you plan to get either the regular flu shot or the H1N1 vaccine? Why or why not? “Yes to both. I’m pregnant so the benefits to baby and me outweigh the risks. A lot of the hysteria from the 1970s swine flu vaccine has been completely blown out of proportion, and so I don’t see the H1N1 shot as much different than the regular flu vaccine, which also changes every year based on the flu strain.” N.H. “Honestly, I haven’t decided. In years past, I never got the flu vaccine, and I can’t remember when I had the flu the last time. And the H1N1 vaccine is still not completely vetted. The regular flu vaccine is available at Walgreens for $24.99, and that isn’t too outrageous. If I were more certain that the H1N1 vaccine was extremely effective, I would probably get it when it is available. But I think I’ll pass on the regular shot – thanks for making me focus on this!” Bill B. “I’ve already received the regular flu shot and I’ll get the H1N1 flu shot (‘Mexican Flu’ as it should properly be called) if there’s any left after those in the higher risk categories get theirs. No ethical slur intended but it’s known as the Mexican Flu in the rest of the world.” R.V.

Next question Ohio allows early voting. Is this a good idea and do you plan to take advantage of the opportunity? Why or why not? Every week the Forest Hills Journal asks readers a question they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answers to foresthills@communitypress.co m with Chatroom in the subject line. plan to get H1N1 inoculations as soon as available. Suffering for a week with either disease is not worth the small inconvenience of getting the inoculation. There is no meaningful scientific support for the argument that it might give you the flu or produce other side effects. Negative reactions are rare. People who ignore the threat needlessly endanger their loved ones and others around them. Sure some will get the flu, even if they had the inoculation, but the symptoms will be less severe and there will be many fewer cases for those that too precautions. “Avoiding flu inoculations is one more risky behavior like unsafe sex, smoking, DUI, driving while texting. Like these other behaviors it puts others at risk. Unlike these behaviors, actually catching the flu is a way to get inoculated against getting that strain again, living proof that a higher power must look after the clinically clueless.” F.S.D.

“Both my wife and I got flu inoculations weeks ago and we

October 7, 2009

Checking our images of God Humans have a strong tendency to categorize things. Then we paste our categories in a mental book titled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things I Know For Sure.â&#x20AC;? This makes us feel more secure but less enthralled. Often it takes a crisis to rediscover how something old can be new again. St. Augustine has always intrigued me. After his conversion to Christianity, he wrote a prayer that began, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Imagine that! Not perceiving God in the typical category of being judgmental, severe or powerful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but beautiful. God is a frequent recipient of our familiarizing. God never grows up in our minds, never becomes new, exciting and breathtaking. He remains an old grandfatherly man or mean-spirited critic. To expand the quality of our lives, G.K. Chesterton once said that our spiritual and psychological task is to learn to look at familiar things until they become unfamiliar again. This holds true whether the familiar thing be a flower, a snowfall, a job or

even God. Mystics call this process â&#x20AC;&#x153;awakening.â&#x20AC;? Most of our lives we just go Father Lou on turning Guntzelman the pages of our Perspectives m e n t a l b o o k , â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things I Know For Sure.â&#x20AC;? Our pictures of God were pasted there when we were kids. Now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cracked, sepia-colored, and a little dusty. Archie Bunker had a large album of them to which he referred frequently. One of the attractions to the recent novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Shack,â&#x20AC;? seems to be the different images used for the Triune-God. Archie would have condemned the book. Certainly there is a need to recognize the stability and steadfastness of God. The psalmists often used descriptive words like â&#x20AC;&#x153;fortressâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;rockâ&#x20AC;? to do this. What must be remembered is that God is an absolute mystery. St. Anselm described God as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The One beyond that is

able to be thought.â&#x20AC;? That means in our dealings with God we must develop a tolerance for ambiguity. In his book â&#x20AC;&#x153;God, The Oldest Question,â&#x20AC;? William J. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley, S.J., writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do believe that the Holy Spirit is a feminine principle within God, just as the book of Wisdom pictures her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in my experience, God is â&#x20AC;Ś far more masculine (challenging, rational, decisive, unbending) than feminine (cherishing, enfolding, mothering, consoling.) Again in my experience, if God is a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;she,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; God is one damn tough cookie.â&#x20AC;? The parables of Jesus Christ are stories about people, but their real plot is about the heart of God. Notice that there is always an element of astonishment, surprise and the unexpected in them. The measured expectations of those hearing them are shattered. God was always more than anticipated. John Shea writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Mark says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;He was too much for them.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Like a woman who loves too much, like ointment that costs too much and is spilled too much, like a seventy-times-seven God who

forgives too much.â&#x20AC;? Today we like a housebroken God, a God we can keep on a leash, who has predictable habits, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t generate questions, and makes sense by our logic. Author Kathleen Norris writes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;One so often hears people say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; when they reject a biblical image of God as Father, Mother, as Lord and Judge, God as a loverâ&#x20AC;Ś God on a cross. â&#x20AC;Ś If we seek a God we can â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;handleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that will be exactly what we get â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a God we can manipulate, suspiciously like ourselves, the wideness of whose mercy weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cut down to size.â&#x20AC;? What we get then is not God. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@ communitypress.com or contact him directly at P.O.

Treat your palate to tastes of the past When it comes to autumn festivals, two stand out for me – the Renaissance Festival in Harveysburg, Ohio, and the Old West Festival between Mount Orab and Williamsburg. They are as different as night and day to each other, but each is historically correct, whether it’s the architecture, dress c o d e , entertainRita ment, or Heikenfeld the food Rita’s kitchen offered. P l u s when you visit, you are literally transported back into time. Now I love to cook, but I’m not sure I’d make it as a “Renaissance girl” in the kitchen. And I don’t think Drew Deimling, a Hyde Park reader and proprietor of the Old West Festival, would hire me as a cowgirl rustling up supper. I thought it would be fun, though, to share recipes for the kind of foods eaten during those times.

Kathy’s Renaissance chicken pie served in bread bowls

Originally from Kathy Kneipp, a Clermont County reader. She loves history and

taught her kids about the Renaissance by having them help her prepare a Renaissance meal. Here’s my adaptation: 2 frying chickens, cut up 1 teaspoon garlic powder (opt.) 1 small onion, cut up 4 tablespoons butter 1 ⁄2 cup flour 1 cup milk Broth from chicken Salt and pepper to taste Fill a pan with enough water to cover chicken, add garlic powder and onion, but do not add the chicken yet. Bring water to a boil. Lower heat then add chicken. Simmer until tender. Remove chicken, let cool and remove from bones. Reserve broth. Melt butter in a skillet, whisk in flour and cook slowly for one minute. Add 1 cup milk and 1⁄2 cup chicken broth and stir carefully. Add another 1⁄2 cup broth. Season everything with salt and pepper. Place chicken on a serving platter and pour sauce over and serve. To serve in bread bowls: Cut off top of round loaf of bread. Hollow out bottom 2⁄3, and set the reserved bread aside. In preheated 350 degree oven, toast the hollowed out bread round along with the reserved pieces for a few minutes. Pour the chicken topped with sauce into bread bowl. Use chunks of reserved

bread to dunk into bowl and to act as a utensil.

Old West pulled pork barbecue

In the Old West you had to raise the pig, butcher it, smoke the hams, etc. Lucky for us we can just go to the grocery where the pork is neatly wrapped, ready to cook. Cook a pork loin roast in 3 cups water with a diced onion, a teaspoon or so minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste, in the crockpot until done (about three hours on high, five hours on low). When cool, shred. Measure out 1 quart broth from cooked meat. Add to that: 1 bottle ketchup ⁄2 cup mustard 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon paprika (opt.) 1 ⁄2 to 1 cup brown sugar 1 bay leaf 2 slices lemon 1 tablespoon each: vinegar and Worcestershire sauce Dash or two Tabasco sauce (opt.) 1

Cook 10 minutes, remove bay leaf and add meat that has been shredded. Put all back in crockpot and cook 30 minutes longer,

uncovered. Use a soup ladle to serve on warm buns. Even easier: To a bottle of purchased barbecue sauce, sprinkle in some chili powder, garlic powder and, if you want it sweeter, brown sugar to taste. Thin with a bit of the broth if you want. Again, cook about 30 minutes uncovered in the crockpot.

Can you help?

The number of requests for these recipes is growing each day: • Like Syktop Bigg’s chicken salad • Mio’s creamy garlic salad dressing • Strawberry lasagna like Bravo’s Café, Augusta, Ky.

Mercy Hospital Anderson is the recipient of the prestigious John M. Eisenberg Patient Safety and Quality Award. The hospital is being recognized for the Modified Early Warning System (MEWS), a new scoring system that was developed and implemented by Mercy Anderson staff. MEWS is applied to the physiological vital signs routinely measured by nurses. It provides them with a tool to evaluate subtle signs that predict the patient’s likelihood of deterioration. This helps increase calls to the hospital’s Rapid Response Team and decreases the incidence of Code Blue cases. “It is truly an honor for our hospital to receive the 2009 Eisenberg Patient Safety and Quality Award,” says Patricia Schroer, president/CEO of Mercy Hospital Anderson. “We’re very proud of this accomplishment; the development of the Modified Early Warning System is an example of our ongoing commitment to provide the highest level of patient care and patient safety.” The 2009 Eisenberg Awards will be formally presented during the National Quality Forum’s (NQF) Annual National Policy Conference on Quality Oct.

Bringing plants indoors for the winter If you’ve been growing your tropical plants outdoors all summer, as summer fades and fall arrives, it’s time to get them ready to go back inside the house for the winter. Begin this process in mid- to late September so the plants will be ready to go indoors before the weather gets too cold. And always keep an eye open for that early frost! The first thing to do is to move your tropical or nonhardy plants into a shady location outside, and leave then there for 10 days to two weeks. This helps to acclimate them to the lower light conditions they’ll be receiving once inside your home.

By the way, during this time, do be aware of possible cold temperatures and even frosts, Ron Wilson where your In the plants will garden need extra protection! J u s t before bringing them inside, there are three things for you to do. Hose them off with a strong stream of water. You may even want to do this a couple times while they’re acclimating in the shade. This helps to blow off any insects that may be

hanging out on the plants. Immediately before bringing them inside, give your plants a good spraying of insecticidal soap, making sure you spray tops and bottoms of the leaves, stems, trunks and all. Again, trying to get rid of any hitchhiking bugs! (If you do this the same day you’re bringing them inside, let the spray dry, then bring the plants indoors.) If possible, lay the plant on its side, slide it out of the pot, and inspect the root ball for any unwanted bugs or anything else that may be hiding in the bottom of the pot. Rodents, even snakes have been found hiding here.

We also suggest a good rinsing off several times through the winter, and the shower is the perfect place to do it!

Recently, Anderson Community Television began taping a new series called “Cincinnati’s Golden Age of Broadcasting.” The program, hosted by Cincinnati media legend Dick Murgatroyd, will feature some of the media pioneers that figured out how to make things work on a daily basis. There was no video tape, no such thing as a zoom lens and no way to learn other than from trial and error. Many of today’s national program formats got their start in Cincinnati. Murgatroyd’s first guest is Bill Myers, one of the early trailblazers and a renowned local announcer.

And do keep your eyes open for any flare-ups of insects on the plants. Keep insecticidal soaps, systemic insecticides, and whitefly traps on hand just in case. Reduce feeding to nothing or an occasional shot of a water-soluble fertilizer, which can be increased once the days start to get longer, come next spring! Again, do expect leaves to fall once the plants are inside, as the sunlight just isn’t what it was outside. Stick with them, water only as needed, watch for

One way to make sure nothing is in the soil (ants, etc.) is to fill a large tub with water, and then submerge the plant pot and all in the water for several hours. Anything in the soil will either drown, or will float to the top of the water. It’s also a great way to soak the soil. Just make sure you allow it plenty of time to drain before bringing it into the house. Move your tropical plant indoors to a well-lit area indoors, and away from heat vents and cold drafts. Place a saucer under the pot. As a general rule, water the plants well, let dry, water again. And never let water sit in the saucer. Use

When Mitch Stone, a 12year-old Anderson Township resident, found out this summer that the University of Cincinnati football team was adopting him as an official teammate, he figured he had more than his share of support in his battle with brain cancer. He never imagined that people by the carloads would jump on his bandwagon too. But they are; for him and another big Bearcats fan, who lives just a couple of blocks away. Dean Martini, a Green and Delhi Township firefighter and Westside transplant living in Anderson Township, is fighting colon cancer. Both he and Stone and their families are the focus of efforts to raise funds through a road rally and party planned for Saturday, Oct. 10, at River Downs. The When The Rubber Meets The Road Rally begins with a scavenger hunt at 3 p.m, followed by the “Burn Rubber Bash from 6 p.m. to midnight, which will include food, cash bar, games, silent auction, and live music by Higher Cort. The project started in late July as an idea to fund time off for Martini’s wife, Sue, from her teaching job at Norwood Schools. It has since grown into a long-term vision to “love others in whatever way we can,” according to Amy Winstel, a member of the When the Rubber Meets The Road planning group. “That meant widening our net to include the Stones, and thinking big, in terms of how we help give these families freedom from some of the worries that go hand-in-hand with cancer,” Winstel said. An anonymous Westside donor heard about the effort and got things started with a $5,000 gift. Soon after, Sue Martini’s coworkers in the Norwood School District donated a total of 115 sick days to Sue, giving her 55 paid days off. “The support has been absolutely phenomenal,” said Winstel. “Firefighters, coworkers, friends, and strangers have been moved to somehow contribute, whether it’s with their time, money, expertise or prayers. “People are seeing that in situations like this,

Anderson Township family walks for kids The Sartoris family of Anderson Township will walk in the fourth annual Cincinnati Walks for Kids benefiting Cincinnati Children’s Saturday, Oct. 10. Registration for the walk will be 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and the walk and activities take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jessica and Tom Sartoris understand the importance of the walk all too well. Their son, John, was diagnosed with speech apraxia at Cincinnati Children’s when he was 2 years old. Speech apraxia is an oral-motor speech disorder that interferes with a child’s ability to correctly pronounce sounds, syllables and words. Jessica is very grateful that the speech pathology team at Cincinnati Children’s identified John’s problem so early in his development. Jessica says that because of their intervention and hard work, John was able to enter preschool with no special education needs. “They helped our son discover his voice and find his words,” Jessica said. “Today, John is a very talkative little boy. No one would believe that at age 3 he couldn’t say a simple word like ‘Dad,’” Jessica said. “Thanks to Cincinnati Children’s, John not only overcame his apraxia, but he did it before entering the school system and falling behind.”

The family, which also includes John’s 6-year-old sister Megan, is looking forward to participating in the walk this year and getting as many family and friends as they can to join them. “The walk is a great opportunity to inspire and encourage those still on their journeys,” said Jessica. “Success stories like John’s help showcase that Cincinnati Children’s really does change the outcome,” she said. “Each child at Cincinnati Children’s is on a journey and we as a community need to support those kids and the work at the medical center.” The walk is a great day full of crafts, face painting, four classic Coney Island rides and refreshments that the whole family will love. Proceeds from the event will help provide hope and healing to the children and families cared for by Cincinnati Children’s. As a not-for-profit organization, Cincinnati Children’s relies on events like Cincinnati Walks for Kids to help fund life-saving research, patient care and education. Cincinnati Walks for Kids is more than a fundraising walk. It’s a day packed with family fun at Coney Island, a Queen City treasure for more than a century. The day will begin with an opening ceremony to honor patients, families and caregivers and thank the

John Sartoris will be walking with his family in the Cincinnati Walks for Kids. community for its commitment to Cincinnati Children’s. Walkers may choose a 3-mile or 1-mile walk route. All walkers will receive a medal as they cross the finish line, followed by a com-

plimentary lunch. Throughout the day, participants can enjoy the Kids’ Carnival, where children can play games, win prizes and have their faces painted, and visit the remembrance garden, a serene set-

ting to honor loved ones. “Families often tell us they are walking to support the courageous child in their life or to raise awareness for a childhood disease or hospital program they are passionate about,” said Christina Mihalek, walk coordinator. “The walk provides a way for people to celebrate their loved ones and support a worthy cause,” she said. There is no registration fee to participate. Each walker is simply asked to raise at least $25. Walk participants can choose to donate their gifts to a particular program or division within the medical center, or have their gifts used to meet the hospital’s greatest needs. “Each participant has their own reason for walking, but one thing is the same for everyone: The money raised will help bring hope and healing to sick children. “What could be more motivating or gratifying than that?” Christina said. People of all ages can participate in the walk. Strollers, wagons and wheelchairs are welcome. With the exception of service dogs, Coney Island does not allow pets on their property.

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week

The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland

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…

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.
