Newtown job draws dissent Council disagrees on whether to fill post now or later

By Rob Dowdy

rdowdy@communitypress.com

There was a lot of talk at last week’s Newtown Village Council meeting about replacing a position vacant since February, but in the end it was only talk. Newtown Councilman Ken Pulskamp said he would like to proceed in filling the maintenance supervisor position that’s been vacant since last winter. Councilman Brian Burns, however, said he’d like to wait until January to fill the position, noting that he and others volunteered their time to plow streets in the previous winter, and Pulskamp has stated before that he’s basically doing the job of the supervisor

until someone can be hired. Burns said with November elections just around the corner it may be best to wait until the newly electPulskamp ed council can weigh in on the matter. “I think we’re in a lame-duck council session,” he said. Pulskamp argued no matter who was on council the most qualified candidate for the maintenance supervisor position should get the job. The decision was expected to be discussed during the Street Committee meeting, originally

Other news Here’s a look at other topics of discussion during last night’s Newtown Village Council meeting: • After returning from executive session, council voted to approve as much as $75,000 for the possible purchase of a parcel of land. • Council’s vote on its waste collection bids was postponed until another committee meeting can be

scheduled to discuss the bids Wednesday, Nov. 4. • Councilman Ken Pulskamp said the village has received bids for the removal of some trees in the village. • Resident Lynn Burger, owner of Burger Farm, thanked the Newtown Police Department for its recent work in recovering “thousands” in stolen material from his business.

scheduled for Oct. 21, but the meeting was rescheduled to Wednesday, Nov. 4. Mayor Curt Cosby said he wants the issue discussed at the next Street Committee meeting, instead of the current council

meeting. Councilman Doug Evans, a member of the Street Committee with Pulskamp, said the village should soon begin the process of at least advertising the open position.

The Spartans advanced by capturing the Division I district title with a 1-0 win against Anderson High School in double overtime last week. “It was a pretty typical Turpin-Anderson match,” Turpin head coach Larry Chialastri said. “There was a lot of emotion and lots of action on both ends of the field. It was a lot of fun.” MARK CHALIFOUX/STAFF

lwakeland@communitypress.com

It began with a discussion on recognizing veterans in the community and transformed into a full-fledged program. Anderson Township will honor local men and women with a Veterans Day ceremony at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11. Retired Staff Sgt. Paul Brondhaver, an Anderson Township resident and Iraq war veteran, will be the keynote speaker and former Cincinnati Bengals’ player Anthony Muñoz is the master of ceremonies for the event at the Anderson Center, 7850 Five Mile Road. “Veterans Day is a time to ... recognize the men and women who have served our country,” said Don Bishop, commander of American Legion Post 318. “This program is (a way) to honor the veterans of the community.” Sgt. 1st Class Jamie Buckley, a country singer, will perform at the ceremony and students from the Forest Hills Local School District also will participate. Dale Bartholomew, park commissioner and member of the township’s Veterans Memorial

The Veterans Day ceremony begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, at the Anderson Center, 7850 Five Mile Road. Former Cincinnati Bengals’ player Anthony Muñoz, retired Staff Sgt. Paul Brondhaver and Sgt. 1st Class Jamie Buckley will participate in the ceremony. Contact Vicky Earhart, 688-8400 or vearhart@andersontownship.org, for details. Steering Committee, said the program is a unique tribute to veterans in Anderson Township and he would like it to become an annual event. “I hope (the audience) goes away with a better understanding of the strangers who have gone and fought for them,” he said. “It is a remembrance of where this nation has been and where it is taking us.” Bishop added that he hopes the program offers a new perspective on those who served and sacrificed for the country. The program is a collaboration among Anderson Township, the Forest Hills Local School District, the Anderson Township Park District and American Legion Post 318.

Wilson to celebrate 50 fsellers@communitypress.com

Wilson Elementary School will celebrate its anniversary with a community open house 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at the school, 2465 Little Dry Run Road. “It’s a celebration of the 50 years we’ve had, the successes as well as what’s to come in the future,” said Tim Burns, member of the 50th Anniversary Committee. The open house will include two separate concerts at 1:30 and 3 p.m. A program with former students and staff will follow each concert. The history of the school

will play an important part of the celebration. Memorabilia will be on display, and a number of the rooms will be decorated in the style of a particular decade starting with the 1960s. Each grade level will also prepare a classroom to demonstrate what they are learning. The celebration began more than a year ago with the introduction of the Wall of Fame honoring staff who have served at the school 20 years or more. A walkway was also installed, and students are planting a tulip garden in the shape of a “50.” “This is my last year here after 18 years,” said

It’s become an autumn tradition in Mount Washington – the annual Pumpkin Chuck. The event features pumpkins launched through the air with a trebuchet, a weapon used in the Middle ages to hurl stones at enemy fortifications during a siege. Gravity then brings the pumpkin crashing back to the ground. “It’s the gawker in us that loves to see a splat,” said Margaret Stigler, assistant member of the Stanbery Park Advisory Council. This year’s Pumpkin Chuck will be noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at Stanbery Park on Oxford Avenue. A highlight of the event is the trebuchet, which is used to throw the pumpkins. Two trebuchets were used last year. This year a smaller trebuchet will be added for younger children to get a hands on look, said Scott Kelley, a Mount Washing-

In an effort to earn a “Tree City USA” designation Anderson Township recently adopted a tree maintenance program. The Arbor Day Foundation requires communities to complete four requirements to earn a “Tree City USA” designation. These include establishing a tree committee, a tree care program, an Arbor Day observance and setting aside at least $2 per person, or $91,000, for a forestry program. Paul Drury, assistant director for the Development Services Department, said the township had most of the policies in place and there is a line item in the budget for a community forestry program. He said it is difficult to

Tree inventory

With the help of foresters from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Anderson Township completed a survey of trees in the community in June 2008. Paul Drury, assistant director of the Development Services Department said there were 90 different species and more than 3,600 trees in the township right of way. The survey only includes township streets, not state roads, such as Beechmont Avenue, or county roads, such as Eight Mile Road. pinpoint how much Anderson Township currently spends on tree maintenance because pruning and similar care is often grouped with other landscaping work. “If the trees are in the right of way it ultimately is the township’s responsibility to take care of that tree,” LISA WAKELAND/STAFF

0000365770

Anderson Township recently implemented a tree maintenance program that makes it responsible for all trees in the rights of way on township streets, such as this one on Royalgreen Drive. The program is part of an application to earn the “Tree City USA” designation from the Arbor Day Foundation. Drury said. “This makes it official.” The comprehensive tree maintenance program is only for Anderson Township streets and does not include state roads, such as state Route 32 or state Route 125 (Beechmont Avenue), or county roads, such as Eight Mile or Round Bottom roads. It also establishes rules and regulations for tree removal and replacement, as well as pruning and spacing of township street trees. Public Works Director Richard Shelley said the township already budgets for pruning and other tree maintenance. Shelley said this new plan is a transition to active planting and tree replacement, and will be part of Anderson Township’s community forestry program.

“Losing trees to storms, drought and the emerald ash borer is out of our control,” he said. “What is in our control is getting these trees in the ground to replenish what we’ve lost.” Drury said Anderson Township is on its way to meeting all the Arbor Day Foundation requirements, and will apply for the “Tree City USA” designation in 2010. “The goal of the committee is not to line streets with trees for an aesthetic purpose, but to extend the benefits of a tree canopy to township streets,” he said. Though the township has not yet planted or replaced trees as part of the maintenance program, Drury said it would likely follow the road, curb and sidewalk replacement schedule.

Some Anderson Township streets will have a new look for the fall. Public Works Director Richard Shelley said crews are laying down a new surface on 17 roads and two accessways. The microsurface overlay, or “Black Mat,” looks like newly paved roadways, but Shelley said it is a slurry seal treatment that helps hold the surface together and delays major road maintenance. Black Mat treatment cost the township $170,000 at state bid pricing, and Shelley said the aggregate mixture will help in the winter. “It doesn’t take much sun to really melt (the snow) and as soon as it gets wet it gets very black again and we use less salt,” he said of the new surface overlay. The surface overlay will also be used on two Beechmont Avenue accessways, one behind the Five Mile Center and the other near Cherry Grove. In addition to the surface overlay, Shelley said the township is using porous pavement treatment on Spinningwheel Lane and Goldengate Drive as part of the annual road repair schedule. “This particular mix ... takes water away from the surface quicker and we’re using it on the hills,” he said. “It’s an expensive mix and not part of an all-over application.

Veterans to share history with local students By Forrest Sellers

fsellers@communitypress.com

Second-graders at Sherwood Elementary School will not only learn about veterans during an upcoming project, they will also have a chance to honor them. Students in Donna Prues’ class will record video interviews with area veterans as part of a class-

room project. Each of the 22 students will be given a video camera to conduct a one-on-one interview with the veterans. Funding for the video cameras came through a grant from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation. The interviews will be compiled into a video titled “This Land Is Your Land, This Land Is

My Land.” Plans are for the video to eventually be shown at the Anderson Center as well as shown on a local cable channel. “We are hoping to promote (this) within the community,” said Vietnam veteran Don Bishop, who is assisting with the project. Bishop, who is commander of American Legion Post 318, is also

helping to find veterans to participate. “We want the veterans to speak from the heart,” said Prues. She said a goal is to instill a sense of patriotism within the students. “(We want the students) to understand the role these veterans have played in our country,” she said.

Two separate days have been set up for the interviews, which will be at the school, starting next month. Prues said students may even involve some family members who are veterans. Prues said any veteran interested in participating can contact her at donna.prues@ foresthills.edu.

Baking cookies for homeless shelters, teaching at inner city schools, and Unified for UNIFAT are only just some of the many service projects that the Key Club at Anderson High School participates in throughout the school year. Key Club at Anderson has taken off this year, with more members than it has had in years. The club officers this year are working hard to raise awareness about different organizations in need of volunteers and getting more members to join and help out. The club meets briefly every Monday after school to discuss future service projects and ways to get more people involved. Members from all grades are welcome and have a great time helping others who are less fortunate. “I really enjoy being a member of Key Club because we are involved with many service projects that help give back to the community and make me fell warm and fuzzy inside knowing that I really helped someone out,” said AHS senior and Key Club copresident Dominique Schiano. In Key Club, students get the opportunity to sign up for the activities they want to take part. A number of students in the upcoming weeks will go to Cor-

The cookies are then taken to a homeless shelter. “I like that we do smaller projects as well as get involved in big, multischool projects,” said AHS junior and Key Club secretary Kelsey Zellner. “Some people think it does not make a difference to bake cookies for the hungry or make goodie bags for kids in dysfunctional families, but I say even the smallest things count. “Key Club is definitely a great thing to be involved in because it can help people (students) get their service hours, but it’s also for those who enjoy serving others and to do so in a fun environment.” Unified for UNIFAT helps raise awareness for the children in Uganda that are in need of help.

Turpin bests Anderson for D-I title

Spartans claim double-overtime victory over Redskins, district finals By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

The rivalry between the girls’ soccer teams at Anderson and Turpin high schools reached a boiling point Thursday, Oct. 29, as the teams squared off with a district title on the line. Turpin prevailed with a double-overtime win over Anderson, 1-0, as the Spartans captured its first Division I district title since 2004. The Spartans travel to Lakota East High School for the Division I Regional Championship semi-finals against Wayne High School at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4. “They have two outstanding players at Wayne (with an) all-state midfielder and a very fast forward,” Turpin head coach Larry Chialastri said. “We will have our hands full but I think we have a good chance.” If victorious, Turpin advances to play in the regional finals at Princeton High School at noon Saturday, Nov. 7. The regional champion advances to the state semifinals. “It was a pretty typical Turpin-Anderson match. There was a lot of emotion and lots of action on both ends of the field,” Chialastri said of Turpin’s 1-0 win over Anderson. “It was a lot of fun.” During the district finals, Turpin scored with 9:45 left in the second overtime with a goal from senior forward Natalie Starr. Starr, the Player of the Year in the Fort Ancient Val-

Turpin junior Stephanie Valenti provided Starr with an assist on the goal. “(Starr’s game-winning) goal against Ursuline was a chaotic goal,” Chialastri said

of the Spartans’ first overtime win in the tournament. “(The goal against Anderson) was very pretty. “Valenti tackled the ball hard and kicked in a quick cross. Natalie got control of the ball and put it in from about 12 yards,” Chialastri added. Against Ursuline in the sectional finals Oct. 26, Turpin captured a sectional title with its overtime win over the Lions, 1-0, with Starr scoring to again play the part of the heroine. Starr recently committed to the Division I collegiate program at the University of Kentucky. Though the overtime goals were key for Turpin, solid defense has kept the Spartans in position to win games throughout the postseason, Chialastri said. Junior Hanna Kohls is 40 in the tournament as Turpin’s starting keeper with four shut-outs to her credit. Turpin out-scored its opponents by a 7-0 margin en route to its 4-0 start in the tournament.

Anderson’s Tracey Wolfe and Turpin’s Abby Hertel battle for the ball in a tournament game. Senior sweeper Jenny Berger, a fourth-year starter, has held the Turpin defense together this season alongside underclassmen starters including one junior, one sophomore and one freshman. “(Berger’s) just been steady all year long. She is the anchor that keeps everyone organized and together,” Chialastri said. Chialastri also highlighted sophomore Ellie Tillar as a defensive standout for the Spartans. “She had a great game last night,” Chialastri said simply of Tillar’s performance against Anderson. Aside from Starr, Turpin senior Lauren Drosick and sophomore Ava Biesenbender are also statistical standouts for the Spartans. Biesenbender leads Turpin with 26 points including 11 goals and four assists. Drosick is close behind at 21 points includ-

ing eight goals and five assists. Turpin improved to 124-4 with its win over Anderson. The Spartans have already won three championship this year including a sectional title, a district title and the FAVC Cardinal Division title. Anderson fell to 11-3-5 with the loss after taking second place behind Milford (14-3) in the FAVC Buckeye Division. Sydney Loesing led Anderson with 29 points including 13 goals and three assists. Rachel Jacoby finished with 18 points for the Redskins including four goals and 10 assists. The Redskins won its sectional title with a victory over Mount Notre Dame, 30, during the Division I sectional finals Oct. 26. Anderson head coach Bil Miller was unavailable for comment before Forest Hills Journal deadlines.

St. X lineman invited to bowl

St. Xavier High School senior Matt James is one of 18 players from the state of Ohio nominated to play in the United States Army All-American Bowl. The annual game is scheduled for Jan. 9, in San Antonio, Texas, and will air live in NBC. Representatives from the United States Army presented James with a game jersey during a press conference at the school Oct. 27. “We’re very proud of Matt, of the work he’s done to gain this recognition,” said head coach Steve Specht (’86). “One of the things we try to teach our students, our players, is they’re going to face adversity and have to lean on one another in tough times. The Army – all our military branches – live that motto every day to protect this country. We’re honored they see some of that in Matt.” James, who stands 6-foot8, 290 pounds, is one of the most sought-after offensive line recruits in the country. Among the schools recruiting him are Boston College, Florida, Ohio State, Notre Dame and the University of Cincinnati. The Bombers closed the regular season with a Halloween matchup against local Cincinnati’s top-ranked team, Moeller High School, to decide the Greater Catholic League South championship.

McNick volleyball wins sectional By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The No. 1-seeded McNicholas High School girls volleyball team cruised to a sectional title after defeating No. 11 Bethel and No. 7 Norwood. McNick fell to Tippecanoe Oct. 31 at Fairmont in the district tournament. Head coach Denny Murphy said he was pleased with how the girls played this season. “They played pretty well,” he said. “It’s hard to

argue with a 15-9 record.” He said he wasn’t really sure what to expect from his team this season after graduating seven players from the 2008 team. “We always have high expectations in the program but we were replacing most of the lineup,” he said. “We’re young but they play hard and when you play hard you always have a chance.” The team has six seniors, Annie Wolfer, Anne Kunkler, Sarah Rudolph, Lori Bosse, Alli Kirby and Anna

Pieper, and Murphy said they did a good job setting the tone for the team during summer workouts. Murphy said the biggest difference in how the team has played at the end of the season is experience. “The kids have learned their positions and know what to do,” he said. “We have talented kids but it’s the experience in their roles that is important.” Postseason success is nothing new for the Rockets, which seem to cruise at this point of the year every

season. Murphy said the key to the program’s success over the past decade has three factors. “We have a really good coaching staff, we play a competitive schedule and we have consistent, dedicated players coming into our program,” he said. McNick was led in 2009 by junior setter Megan Gilene, junior outside hitter Chelsea Rohlfs and sophomore middle hitter Stephanie Schmidt. “This team just had an ‘it’ factor,” he said. “It was-

It’s not just about good volleyball.”

standings. Anderson took first place in its FAVC Buckeye Division with a 5-0 league record. The Redskins rumbled for 453 yards on the ground during its win over Harrison, 53-37, in week 10. “We were able to run the ball effectively like we have all year,” Anderson head coach Jeff Giesting said. “Our guys stayed focused on winning games and winning league. “We knew we were going to have a good team,” Giesting said of the 10-0 record. Senior Kyle Slater was limited during the final games of the regular season with a pulled groin though the Anderson standout should be close to 100-percent for the playoffs, Giesting said.

Slater scored two touchdowns against Harrison while rushing for 108 yards on only five carries. “He’s at 95-percent right now and should be fine for the playoffs,” Giesting said. The Redskins will need to be at full strength to contend with Lakota West. Senior Jordan Hicks, a 6foot-2 linebacker, is the No. 2 recruit in the class of 2010 across all of the United States according to ESPN’s ESPNU 150 list. The No. 1 recruit in the country, Jackson Jeffcoat, is a defensive end from Texas. “Jordan Hicks is the best linebacker in the country. They are going to be a tough challenge for us,” Giesting said simply. Lakota West’s top back, Jordan Thompson, led the GMC with 1,573 rushing yards. John Peters, the quarterback for Lakota West, finished fourth in the GMC with 920 passing yards. “They have a great running back, they are much bigger than us and they are so athletic,” Giesting said of Lakota West. “We are excited to start with the home game.” Anderson quarterback Brandon Bornhauser continued to have a productive season with 215 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries in week 10. Bornhauser was also 7of-15 passing for 99 yards and one touchdown. Jake Nelson added 114 yards on 16 carries with one touchdown in week 10 for Anderson. All told, the Redskins out-gained Harrison by a 552-382 yard margin. For the season, Bornhauser finished third across all three divisions of the 18team FAVC with 1,219 rushing yards.

Wilmington (7-3) at Turpin (10-0) First round, D-II playoffs

Playing the same team twice in one season is a daunting task for any football team. But playing the same team during two-consecutive weeks - with championship implications for both games, no less - is almost unheard of. The undefeated Turpin Spartans face just such a challenge with its firstround home playoff game against Wilmington at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6. In week 10, Turpin bested Wilmington, 26-14, to clinch first place in the FAVC Cardinal Division at 5-0 in the league. With the loss, Wilmington fell to 4-1 in the FAVC to take second in the Cardinal Division. “It’s definitely something that concerns me,” Turpin head coach Rob Stoll said of playing Wilmington in back-to-back weeks. “They are a very good football team and they are well coached,” Stoll said. “The first game (against Wilmington in week 10) was a hard-fought game.” In week 10, Turpin trailed Wilmington by a 147 margin after the first quarter before rallying to remain unbeaten with a 12-point victory, 26-14. Senior Wayne Dunham led the way for Turpin with 206 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. All told, Turpin rushed for 286 yards while outgaining Wilmington by a 458-208 yard margin. Wilmington running back Quinten Rollins rushed for 117 yards on 22 carries during the loss. Rollins’ total for the season improved to 1,195 yards with the performance. However, Wilmington only rushed for 113 yards in the game. “I thought we put together a great game on all

three phases,” Stoll said of the win over Wilmington. “Our special teams had their best game of the season. “The defense had a great night and the offense executed well,” Stoll added. “I feel like we are gelling at the right time.” Spartan quarterback Eric Martin was 8-of-13 passing for 172 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in week 10. Fullback Jeff Groene caught three passes for 36 yards. Turpin’s Shade Whitfield and Will Stocker each had a touchdown reception in week 10. Whitfield had two catches for 88 yards including an 80-yard score. Stocker had two catches for 38 yards and rushed for eight yards. Though the Spartans are mostly healthy entering the playoffs, Whitfield might not be at 100-percent while combating a sprain in his foot, Stoll said. “We are now at the point where every game will be a nail-biter,” Stoll said of the playoffs. “We need to execute well and play mistake-free football.” The seniors in Turpin’s program are making their fourth-consecutive appearance in the playoffs. The current Spartan seniors have an astounding regular-season record of 382 dating back to the fall of 2006. “It’s a special group of guys,” Stoll said simply of the seniors. “With a record like that, their impact on this program speaks for itself.” During the regular season, Martin finished third across all three divisions of the 18-team FAVC with 1,351 passing yards. The quarterback was 73of-127 passing with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions. On the ground, Martin rushed for 452 yards and eight touchdowns. Whitfield finished second in the 18-team FAVC with 474 receiving yards. Dunham led the Spartans’ potent rushing attack with 1,103 yards and 12 touchdowns on 136 carries. Stocker rushed for 938 yards and 10 touchdowns on 125 carries. Jeff Groene led Turpin with 20 receptions for 292 yards and three touchdowns and was closely followed by Michael Millikin’s total of 17 receptions for 141 yards and two touchdowns. The Spartans recovered 14 fumbles, posted 26.5 sacks and recorded five interceptions with numerous individuals contributing on the defensive end. Turpin finished at No. 1 in the Division II Region 8 Harbin Ratings with a 29.85 computer average. Wilmington finished at No. 8 with a 16.35 average. The rest of the playoff qualifiers in Division II Region 8 included No. 2 Winton Woods (8-2), No. 3 Tecumseh (9-1), No. 4 Trotwood Madison (7-3), No. 5 Mount Healthy (7-3), No. 6 West Carrollton (8-2) and No. 7 Ross (6-4). If victorious in round one, Turpin advances to face the winner of Trotwood Madison vs. Mount Healthy in the regional semi-finals Friday, Nov. 13. Turpin was No. 2 in Ohio behind only No. 1 Louisville according to the Associated Press Division II State Football Poll for week nine.

McNick soccer wraps season Community Press Staff Reports

The McNicholas High School boys’ soccer team drew the No. 1 seed in the tournament and defeated No. 8 Indian Hill 2-1 on Oct. 24. McNick’s Ian Lee had one goal and one assist in the win. The Rockets advanced to

play Finneytown on Oct. 27 and fell 2-0. The McNick boys ended the season with an 11-4-3 record. McNick was led in scoring by Lee, who had 8 goals and 6 assists on the season, and Austin Pierce, who had four goals and five assists. Austin Reid had six shutouts for the Rockets.

The McNick girls’ soccer team had its season ended in the district semifinals in a 2-1 loss to Wyoming, one of the top-ranked teams in the state. McNick drew the No. 7 seed and beat Williamsburg 6-0 on Oct.19. The Rockets advanced to down Seven Hills 1-0 on Oct. 22 before falling to

Wyoming. The girls were led in scoring by Tricia Walsh, who had 32 points on 15 goals and 2 assists. Morgan Rice was second in scoring with 22 points on 9 goals and 4 assists. The duo led the Grey Central Division in scoring. Carrie Martin had nine shutouts for the Rockets.

Cougars rattled, ousted from tourney and become content,” Conway said. “With her, I don’t see the drive going away.” The MND defense, meanwhile, was stout all season, save for the game against Anderson. The Cougars allowed just 16 goals in 18 games and had eight shutouts. “We were calm under pressure,” said Conway, who was particularly impressed with freshman goalie Sam Shoemaker. “We really didn’t have a varsity-level goalkeeper, and she stepped in and made some big saves,” he said. “She’s one of the reasons we had eight shutouts.” With one freshman scoring goals and another one stopping them, the Cougars figure to be solid for years to come.

The Mount Notre Dame soccer team – which includes a girl from Anderson Township – was beaten by a team it didn’t even play. Before taking the field for the Division I Sectional Final against Anderson Oct. 26, the Cougars watched league rival St. Ursula – which is vying for its third straight state title and boasts possibly the best college prospect in America in Elizabeth Burchenal – survive a 1-0 spellbinder in overtime against Oak Hills. “Our girls watched SUA and saw what they went through, and we became a very mentally unstable team,” MND head coach Doug Conway said. “They were a nervous wreck watching that game and it carried over onto the field.” MND – fresh off a 2-1 victory over previously unbeaten Lakota West – lost 3-0 to Anderson. The three goals were tied for the most surrendered by MND in a game this season. “They had a great season and made a great run,” Conway said of his team. “One bad game doesn’t mean you had a bad season.” But for MND’s eight seniors, all of whom played varsity for at least three years, the loss was difficult to bear. “It was pretty emotional for them,” Conway said. “This group has been together a long time.” That group includes defenders Chelsea Murphy, Kelsey Gault and Fallon Wujek; midfielders Samantha Gaier, Maggie Speed and Lacie Oliver; and forwards Nora Lavelle and Kiley Powell. “Chelsea has come a long way,” Conway said. “She had as hard a year as you can have last year. Her father died of a heart attack and she dislocated her wrist

But she came back this year and was phenomenal.” It was an up-and-down season for MND, which started the year 3-4-4 before going 5-2 in October. The Cougars struggled finding the net early in the season but saw their offensive output increase as the year went on; they averaged 1.39 goals per game. “We changed formations and went to a 4-3-3, so that gave us the ability to produce a little more,” Conway said. Leading the way offensively was freshman Rose Lavelle, who scored 10 goals and dished out three assists. She scored her biggest goal of the year in the sectional semifinal against Lakota West – a

game-winner with 25 seconds left in the match. “When she came out at the end of the first half – and I don’t normally tell people this, but I told her – ‘I know you’re a freshman, but I nominated you for allcity. And that’s something I usually don’t do with freshmen,’” Conway said. “But she’s a special player, and I told her that special players do special things in big games. When she got the ball at the end of that game, I knew she was going to score.” Conway predicts that Lavelle will be one of the top players in the city – and maybe the top player – by the time she is a senior. “Some girls get to varsity

The evening news is frightening enough for me.” G.G. “I wouldn’t waste my money on today’s ‘scary,’ i.e. blood, violence, gore, sex, etc. but a long, long time ago I loved what I thought was scary was all the Frankenstein movies. What your imagination can dream up is a lot scarier.” Duke “Scariest? ‘The Exorcist’! The reverse spider walk down the steps scene makes me leave the room. At that point, what’s the use for a priest? Al Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ is pretty scary.” T.S. “I would have to say the scariest movie I ever saw was Psycho directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It was a 1960 Black and White “who done it” thriller. As opposed to today’s blood and guts (make you sick) movies this one really kept you on the edge of your seat.

The suspense made the movie scary and Freddie’s killing methods made him a real baddie.” B.N. “I saw ‘The Birds’ and ‘Psycho’ when I was about 8. Seeing the birds pick at the women’s head is still gross; in ‘Psycho,’ the shower scene.

Do your part to prepare for H1N1

As H1N1 flu continues to circulate both locally and nationally, Hamilton County Public Health is working to prepare for vaccine distribution as well as possible widespread illness this fall. Since 2001, public health agencies have been working hard to ensure we are prepared to handle emergency situations that might arise from natural disasters, terrorist attacks or disease pandemics. While governments and public health agencies are hard at work, there are things everyone can – and should – do to stay healthy. H1N1 virus seems to spread the same way seasonal flu spreads: Mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with flu. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. That’s why practicing proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette is critical: • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If soap and water are not near by, use an alcohol-based hand cleaner. • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If a tissue is not available, use the inside of your elbow to cover your cough or sneeze, not your hands. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. • Try to avoid close contact with sick people. Try to stay six feet away from people who are coughing or sneezing. • If you are sick, you should stay home until you are feverfree, without the use of fever-

reducing medicine, for at least 24 hours. As we anticipate H1N1 and regular flu season, there are some additional ways to protect yourself and help stop the spread of disease in our community.

Get informed

This is a rapidly changing situation. I encourage you to visit www.hamiltoncountyhealth.com and www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu regularly.

Get vaccinated

Vaccines are the most powerful public health tool for control of flu and everyone should consider receiving the H1N1 vaccine, upon availability. People that are at high risk for illness and therefore are a priority to receive the H1N1 vaccine include: • Pregnant women • People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age • Health care and emergency services personnel • People between the ages of 6 months through 24 years of age • People ages 25 through 64 years with chronic health disorders or weakened immune systems Don’t forget about the seasonal flu vaccine! There is a lot of discussion about H1N1 flu, but the usual seasonal flu viruses are still expected to cause illness this fall and winter.

While it won’t protect you against H1N1 flu, the single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot each fall. By getting a flu shot, you ensure that you will stay healthy and that you will not spread the flu to those who are at high risk for serious flu complications, such as the elderly, young children and people with certain health conditions.

Parents

• Review proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette with your children now – don’t wait until they get sick. • Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home for a week or so; a supply of over-thecounter medicines, alcohol-based hand rubs, tissues and other related items could be useful and help avoid the need to make trips out in public while you are sick and contagious. • Make plans for emergency child care in case your child is ill and unable to attend school.

Businesses

• Discuss leniency for sick days to accommodate parents that may need to stay home with sick children. • Review business continuity plans and think about what your organization will do if there are many employees out sick.

Churches

• Encourage members to cover their coughs and sneezes appropriately. • Hang up informational posters or distribute educational flyers. Tim Ingram is the commissioner of Hamilton County Public Health.

We honor all who serve On Nov. 11 we are to honor all servicemen and veterans in and out of the military, those who passed on or still alive, who served and sacrificed their lives in all wars for freedom for all Americans. We are all 100 percent American and would like to be remembered for sacrifices all made in fighting all wars for freedom, justice and democracy. All of us want to preserve all memories and hardships of war and companionship and connections with those we served with. All were brothers, one for all and all for one. Our duty and obligation was to serve our country and those we served with. All were taught to impress a sense of individual freedom by authority of our government for all classes of society, to master our strength and power to keep and provide peace, justice and democracy for all nations on Earth. We must either fight together or die together to preserve freedom for all of us. As we know freedom is not

free; we must pay the price for our freedom. All military knew that as long as we live all who passed on shall live as we are and were Bill Huber part of each in the milCommunity other itary.

went through in today’s crisis and remember the sacrifices all went through for freedom, all with no experience in war. The fighting, fear, strain, bloodshed and pain would and will change anyone’s or everyone’s lifetime memories forever. I, myself, can relate to what all went through. No experience facing a killing fire, guns would blast, bombs would fall and chills would run up and down your spine. Many died and will be missed as we all become weary and in need of strength. You feel lost and sick at heart when buddies are lost. We knew, they knew, that we had to fight together or die together to preserve freedom and peace. All military men who served in wars, still living or passed away, served their time in hell and earned their place in heaven. God’s gates are open. Life is not a choice. Life is a gift. It’s life on life and God’s terms. Bill Huber is a World War II veteran. He lives in Mount Washington.

To help fill this decorative need, Rice started his Renaissance Garden Ornament business. The owner of a landscaping business for 20 years, Rice said he got the idea for a garden ornament business while visiting a store in Savannah, Ga. “I saw the need for them to add a nice personal finishing touch to landscaping,” he said about the garden ornaments.

The longing that never goes away in you.” Admit it or not, there is a spiritual component of our nature. It is a longing for the transcendent, for God. For a creature, total fulfillment will only be found permanently with its Creator. Strange, but many of us fear our spiritual longing. Why fear it? One reason is because we think it will cost us too much of our humanness and the enjoyment of this life. Paradoxically, it will increase it. We fear, as Francis Thompson feared as he ran from God, “Lest having thee, I might have naught else besides.” We also fear publicly admitting our need for God because of the secular implications that say only the mentally deficient believe in a God. In response to this fear of spirituality, James W. Jones, professor of religion at Rutgers University, says, “The struggle to find meaning by connecting with a universal, cosmic, moral and sacred reality represents not a failure of nerve, the onset of premature senility, or a lapse into neurosis, but is rather a natural part of the

unhindered development process. The denial of this quest for the transcendent debilitates and impoverishes our life.” Got that? This doctor of psychology at a prestigious university is telling us it’s quite normal to realize you long for God. You’re not neurotic or senile for doing so, you’re not weird; in fact you’re being true to your nature. It makes your life worse by not doing so. Spirituality is not optional. Certainly we need material possessions to live, and enjoyment to thrive, but we need a spiritual dimension to live fully. It enables us to find purpose and meaning and connects us our source and destiny. It fills out our picture. The fact that longing constantly nips at our heels proves it’s not optional. It’s crucial for general health. “Among all my patients in the second half of life, that is to say over 35, there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life,” wrote Carl Jung. Our consumer society tries to contradict that Jungian idea. It says our long-

ing is exclusively for this world and this world can completely satisfy. Ridiculous! A society that tells its people they should live a certain way, if that way is fundamentally in opposition to what people are by nature, produces what Nietzsche termed the “sick animal.” There is a longing down deep where the sparks of

our humanity smolder. Though we enjoy this wonderful world, our longing wants to call us ever onward and up where we belong.

The experience of longing is familiar to everyone. Throughout a lifetime we long for myriads of things – a special toy, a friend, popularity, a lover, more money, better sex, a promotion, health and so it goes. Yet no matter what we acquire or achieve the ache of longing is never completely erased. Eventually there’s something or someone else we think we need in order to be happy. Longing is a sign of our incompleteness. We never reach a prolonged time when we hold something in our hands and say, “This is all I ever wanted and all I will ever need.” One of last century’s most prominent Protestant theologians, Jurgen Moltmann, wrote: “Once awakened by specific promises that stretch further than any fulfillment … once we have caught in them a whiff of the future, we remain restless and urgent, seeking and searching beyond all experiences of fulfillment …” St. Augustine told us the same centuries ago, “You have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are ever restless until they rest

and loves showing the kids all the different varieties to make them more aware about eating healthy. The reason I laughed is when we were growing up, the only seafood we ate was frozen whiting, fried, and fresh bass caught by my Mom and brother, Charlie. I didn’t even know what tilapia was until I was in my 30s. We need to support independent folks like Tom. So if you have a favorite independent deli/grocer, etc. let me know and I’ll feature them and a signature recipe in an upcoming column.

Melissa’s Schaiper’s easy chicken chili

There’s a good amount of interest in the chicken chili Good Samaritan serves in their cafeteria. Friend, great cook and Good Sam’s cath lab queen (my given title) Kay Hitzler found out it’s a purchased product. Kay’s group in the catheter lab held a tailgating lunch and Melissa Schaiper, a colleague of Kay’s, brought a crockpot chicken chili that was a huge hit. Kay said Melissa’s chili is a bit spicier than Good Sam’s. So I would say use a mild salsa.

Spray crockpot. Add:

1 pound chicken breast 4 cups canned Great Northern beans 12 oz. salsa 1 teaspoon each: cumin and garlic Cook six hours on low. An hour before serving, stir in 4 ounces of pepper jack cheese. Serve with 4 more ounces of cheese. Tips from Rita’s kitchen: If you want, stir in more cumin and garlic after six hours. More chili recipes: In my online column at www. communitypress.com and at www.abouteating.com

Red Lobster’s sundried tomato salad dressing. For Dwight. He had no luck calling the company. (They don’t serve it anymore). He also went online, researched recipe books, etc. Mio’s creamy garlic dressing. Spoke with Chris Forbes, owner of the Milford Mio’s. “Can’t divulge it. There’s garlic, sour cream, milk, pepper and sugar in it.” When I asked if there was any vinegar, lemon juice, etc., he said no. If anyone has a creamy garlic recipe similar, please share. Bravo’s strawberry lasagna for Betty Hawley. I’m giving up on this Augusta, Ky., restaurant’s dessert. I’ve made several calls to the owner, who at first thought she might share, but she hasn’t returned my calls.

Employees from Gold Star’s corporate office, its CVG Airport restaurant location and its Burlington, Ky., restaurant location recently served Gold Star Chili’s famous cheese coneys to participants in the 2009 Buddy Walk at Sawyer Point. The Buddy Walk is an annual fundraising and awareness walk for the Down Syndrome Association of Cincinnati. Gold Star Chili donated 1,000 cheese coneys to hungry walk participants.

Hunger walk to help local, global hunger Six area churches recently organized the first Greater Anderson CROP Hunger Walk. The walk began at Anderson Hills Christian Church, looped through Juilfs Park, proceeded on to Nagel Middle School and ended at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection. The churches, including Anderson Hills Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Heritage Unitarian Church, Immaculate Heart of Mary, Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, Mount Washington Presbyterian and St. John Fisher Catholic Church, provided the walkers who

are looking to make a difference in these trying times. The walkers asked donors to support their walk. The organizers set a goal of 150 walkers and hoped to raise $7,500 to help stop hunger and poverty here in our community and around the world, through self-help initiatives. A portion of the funds raised will go to the Inter Parish Ministry’s Choice Food and Clothing Pantry. In addition, East Africa is one part of the world where CROP Hunger Walks are making a big difference. With the number of hun-

gry growing across Africa because of harsh economic conditions, Church World Service’s food security program in East Africa is assisting marginalized households and communities to ensure access to sufficient food year-round. The effort’s four main areas of focus are food production, food accessibility, food utilization and asset creation. CROP Hunger Walks continue to play a role in the continuing saga of U.S. Gulf Coast rebuilding, as families still struggle to rebuild their lives post-Katrina.

Gold Star Chili makes donation

Employees from Gold Star Chili recently volunteered and donated 1,000 cheese coneys to hungry walk participants at the 2009 Buddy Walk at Sawyer Point to benefit the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati. Gold Star Chili’s Corporate Office is located at 650 Lunken Park Drive

ment from University Hospital for this year plays a critical role in the funding for this program, which depends on individuals, community organizations and institutions, as well as governmental support. “We are pleased to partner with Center for Respite Care in order to assist people who are homeless, without health insurance and without appropriate places to

heal,” said Lee Ann Liska, executive director and senior vice president of University Hospital. “They are at-risk for deteriorating medical conditions, even following medical care or surgery intended to help them get well. The Center for Respite Care’s mission meets a critical need for this fragile population while providing support services with respect and dignity.”

Beechmont Toyota to expand By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com

Beechmont Toyota recently broke ground for its new 58,000-square-foot facility on Beechmont Avenue. “I’m very excited about the new dealership,” said General Manager Falcon Smith. “We’ll have the space to better serve our customers.” The new facility, 8667 Beechmont Ave., is scheduled to open in August 2010.

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

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