Inter Parish Ministry volunteers Joel Frerking, left, and Doris Malany sort food donations at the nonprofit’s food pantry. The local group is constantly looking to increase its donations, particularly during the holiday season.
Need more?
Donations at Inter Parish Ministry have grown in recent years, though that growth just barely accounts for the increase in need. Gail Koford, development director at Inter Parish Ministry, said the non-profit’s now seeing as many as 28 families walk through the door for food donations in a single day, up from an average of about 10 in recent years. “It’s a harsh realiBy the ty of the numbers times we’re Here’s a glimpse in,” she at the increase in said.

Along with increased business donations, more local residents are coming in with donations from school, church and personal food drives. Sarah Cadle, service coordinator at Inter Parish Ministry, said local groups and residents consistently turn out in droves in the days leading up to Thanksgiving and the weeks leading to Christmas to donate everything from turkeys to toys while some “adopt” families to give to during the holidays. “Everyone pulls together and gives during the holiday season,” Cadle said. Koford said the pantry expects increases in donations and need around the holidays, but generosity and need have increased throughout the year.

Veterans share memories with students
By Forrest Sellers
fsellers@communitypress.com
Students at Maddux Elementary School had a chance to give their thanks to veterans. The school recently conducted a Veterans Day breakfast and ceremony. “It means a lot to me,” said fifth-grader Tate Sheppard. “I know I can be safe because all of the soldiers and veterans fought for our freedom.” Vietnam veteran Jeff Rubis, who served in the Air
Force, said he appreciated the interest of the students. “It’s nice to know the kids are trying to understand,” said Rubis about youngster’s questions regarding veterans and Veterans Day. Veterans from a number of different wars were represented including World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, as well as soldiers who are currently serving. Korean War veteran Bob Dames, who served in the Army, said describing past

Mount Washington to discuss project ideas
By Forrest Sellers 0000368621
fsellers@communitypress.com
Mount Washington residents will have an opportunity to offer feedback on funding. The Mt. Washington Community Council will discuss projects on which to use Neighborhood Support Program funding. The meeting will be 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the Mt. Washington Recreation Center, 1715 Beacon St. This funding, which is provided by the city, can be used for neighborhood proj-
ects. “This is a way residents can make their voices heard on how we spend the Williams money we get from the city of Cincinnati,” said Christy Vonderschmidt, a board member of the Mt. Washington Community Council. Board President Jake Williams said since the city took over Neighborhood Support Program funding earlier this year, some
changes have been implemented. “There have been some changes on what they will and will not accept,” he said. Williams said projects recommended for funding for 2010 include the community’s newsletter and the annual Pumpkin Chuck. “There are more restrictions on Neighborhood Support Program funding this year than previous years,” he said. “We may try to find ways to fund some of the ideas the city may not support through other means.”
If you go
What: Mt. Washington Community Council meeting. When: 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18. Where: Mt. Washington Recreation Center, 1715 Beacon Street. Williams said this could potentially come through grants or the community’s operating fund. Williams said other topics at the meeting will include the recent Pumpkin Chuck as well as Beechmont Avenue traffic calming measures.

Newtown group plans fundraising dance By Rob Dowdy
rdowdy@communitypress.com
The Newtown Village Association is looking for a few good dancers for its latest fundraiser. For those who can’t dance, the group hopes they’ll attend to socialize, drink a few refreshments
and bid on a variety of prizes. “Dance to the Wall” will be 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, at American Legion Post 72, 497B Old State Route 74. Admission is $10, which gets attendees refreshments that include beer and soda, as well as entertainment in the form of Six Pac, a local
band that covers classic rock and contemporary country music. There will also be door prizes and items up for bid. Charles Short, who’s helping organize the event and who is also a member of Six Pac, said he’s already received a “pretty strong response” from local busi-
nesses and residents interested in attending the dance. He said the legion will hold a maximum of 250 people, and the association is hoping for a sold-out event. “We’d like to fill the hall,” Short said. Bill Teater, a member of the association, said this is
just the latest fundraiser conducted by the group in order to build a memorial wall honoring veterans at Mound View Park in Newtown. Past events included a bike run and a picnic. “We wanted to try to do something that’s a little different,” Teater said. “It’s going to be a fun evening.”

Riverside Park fields to cost at least $1 million By Lisa Wakeland
Grants sought The Anderson Township Park District applied for two grants of $200,000 each from the U.S. Soccer Foundation to help with installation costs for two proposed synthetic turf fields at Riverside Park.
lwakeland@communitypress.com
Riverside Park will have two synthetic fields next year. The Anderson Township Park District, in the preliminary planning stages to install the fields, examined cost projections during last week’s park commissioners meeting.
The synthetic fields are estimated to cost more than $1 million, not including labor, and Park Commissioner Dale Bartholomew asked for those costs to be included in the estimates. Park District employees will provide the initial labor, which includes grading and gravel fill for the fields at Riverside Park, located on
Round Bottom Road. Executive Director Ken Kushner said the synthetic fields offer a good opportunity for the Park District by bringing revenue back to the district through rental fees and concessions. Park Commission President Duffy Beischel said district officials should consider issuing bonds for the project
to take advantage of lower interest rates. The park district applied for two grants of $200,000 each from the U.S. Soccer Foundation to help with installation costs. Beischel said the park district should also search for grants to offset the cost of installing lights around the new fields.
Kushner said the entire project should be completed next summer. Labor to prepare the field area would take approximately two weeks and field installation would take four weeks

Officials: Early feedback on park plan is positive By Lisa Wakeland After a series of open houses and informational sessions, the community is showing an affinity for the Johnson Hills Park development, according to park officials. Ken Kushner, executive director for the Anderson Township Park District, said most who attended the open houses liked the preliminary plans for the park at 7950 Bridle Road. Earlier this year park commissioners approved a development plan that includes a fishing lake, camping area, picnic shelters, disc golf and other amenities.
Stables still running Park Commissioners recently authorized a lease extension for Bridle Run Stables, which has been operating at the current Johnson Hills Park property for 16 years. Owner Larry Waltz is moving the stable operation to Bauer Road in Clermont County, roughly 12 miles away. Construction is under way at the new location, and the park commissioners extended the lease through Dec. 31. This is the second extension for Bridle Run Stables, which was supposed to vacate the property by July 1 to facilitate development of Johnson Hills Park.
Feedback The Anderson Township Park District is accepting comments and questions about the preliminary plan for Johnson Hills Park. Feedback forms are available at the Park District headquarters at Juilfs Park, 8249 Clough Pike. Comments also can be sent to Executive Director Ken Kushner, kkushner@anderson parks.com. Hiking trails would be maintained throughout the 136-acre park. “I think the rework is really nice,” said Duffy Beischel, president of the Board of Park Commissioners. Kushner said he will compile community feedback and present it at the January meeting. Park commissioners will evaluate that feedback, make any adjustments and adopt a master plan early next year. Operations manager Mike Smith said early development scheduled for 2010 includes paving a parking lot and access road, installing the necessary utilities for future development as well as creating and stocking the lake. Kushner said it could take up to five years to develop a viable fish population in the lake. Complete development of Johnson Hills Park is expected to take decades.

Marching band competes in recent competitions By Tiffany Harrison Student correspondent
Anderson High School’s marching band had two competitions, Sept. 26, – one in Hamilton, one in Loveland. The band ranked Division IV at both OMEA and MSBA shows. For the beginning of the season Anderson ranked second at Hamilton and third at Loveland. After gaining first at last year’s state final Marching Band Competition, the band is off to a good start. “For the beginning of the season the band has been good but I think by the end of the season we could rank at one,” said sophomore Emily Teneover. There are many sections that are judged and ranked, including visual, music and colorguard. The rank is an overall score. “We work really long hours and really hard,” Teneover said. “ We really hope that we do as well as last year because it shows our determination.” At the end of last season, the band did well at state competition. Overall, they received a superior rating. The band hopes to do just as well this year. “I have a ton of confidence in what we can do,” said junior Tierney Bell. “I do not think anyone will disappointed in our performance.”

Anderson ‘Slaters’ foe in semis
By Anthony Amorini
aamorini@communitypress.com
A circus leap over the pile and into the end zone from Kyle Slater – reminiscent of moves regularly seen on Sunday in the NFL – jump-started Anderson’s offense. And once the Redskins were charged up, the formidable Middletown Middies suddenly looked tame while facing an undefeated Anderson team on a mission. Anderson, now 12-0, advanced to the Division I Regional Championship finals with its win over Middletown, 41-20, at Nippert Stadium Saturday, Nov. 14. Anderson faces Elder (92) for the regional title at Nippert Stadium at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21. “They are both great teams,” Anderson head coach Jeff Giesting said of Elder and St. Xavier. “We are going to have a tremendous challenge in front of us.” Slater, a Redskin senior, scored his third touchdown of the regional semifinals with 1:05 remaining in the third quarter against Middletown. After running two plays from inside the one-yard line, Slater jumped from the two-yard line and spun into the end zone like a spiraling football to give his Redskins a 27-20 lead over the Middies. Following Slater’s athletic score, Anderson never looked back. “We do what we are

The No. 4 seed Shawnee State women’s soccer team fell to No. 5 seed Roberts Wesleyan College in the first appearance in the quarterfinals of the American Mideast Conference Tournament at home on Saturday afternoon. Turpin High School graduate Sam Rolsen played 89 minutes and tallied four saves in her final appearance in goal at Shawnee State University. Shawnee State ends the season with an overall record of 11-6. Robert Wesleyan’s Laura Willit found Kelsey Medeiros in the 29th minute of action to put the Raiders on the board and the 1-0 halftime advantage. Lindley Zimmerman scored Roberts Wesleyan’s second goal of the game on an assist from Joanna Switzer in 53rd minute. Shawnee State was outshot 6-4 in shots on goal. She completes her fouryear career with Shawnee State’s record for most career wins (33). Staci White, Lacie Abella, and Savoeung Ien also complete their four-year careers at Shawnee State as the most successful class as they accumulated a record of 34 wins, 30 loses, and five ties.

Anderson senior Kyle Slater plows into a pair of Middletown defenders during the second quarter of the Redskins’ playoff win over the Middies, 41-20, at Nippert Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 14. good at. We ran the ball and we were physical up front,” Giesting said simply. “Defensively, we stayed in the game in the second half until our offense got back in rhythm.” T o n y Martini led A n d e r s o n ’s defense with eight tackles as Kyle Payne added seven tackles. But it wasn’t always smooth sailing against Middletown though the fourth quarter quickly turned into a euphoric 12 minutes of football for Redskin fans. With Anderson leading 19-14, both teams started the second half with a pair of three-and-out series. Middletown’s Jerry Gates got the scoring started in the second half with a 59-yard punt return which gave the Middies a 20-19 lead with 6:10 left in the third quarter. Slater’s leaping touchdown capped a 12-play, 79yard drive for Anderson and was the first-of-three unanswered scores for the Redskins. “He’s amazing. He can do anything,” Anderson quarterback Brandon Bornhauser said of Slater. Anderson increased its lead to 34-20 on a 29-yard Slater touchdown with 10:00 left in the fourth quarter. The score capped anoth-
er successful drive for Anderson as the Redskins used only six plays to march 52 yards in 2:11. “The offensive line did a great job. And the coaches, great play-calling all night,” Slater said. “That’s what we try to do: Wear down every team we go against and pound the rock.” And pound they did. Slater amassed 256 rushing yards on 36 carries with four touchdowns, his third score representing the turning point in the game. Bornhauser, the other half of Anderson’s twoheaded attack, rushed for 132 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries against Middletown. “We had the dual threat working. Brandon was running the ball great,” Slater said of duo’s mutual respect. “We have to (run the ball) to win. It’s our thing.” Anderson out-gained Middletown by a 399-126 yard margin on the ground. “I think we were physically in better shape than them with all the running our coaches make us do,” Bornhauser said. “It really paid off.” Anderson tallied its final score while taking a 41-20 lead on a 16-yard touchdown from Bornhauser with 4:44 left in the contest. Leading by 21 points with Elder and St. Xavier fans trickling in for a 5:30 p.m. regional semi-final,
sounds of stunned spectators could be heard throughout Nippert Stadium at the sight on the scoreboard. “We’re ready for the next team in line,” Bornhauser said with a smile of his preferred opponent between St. Xavier and Elder. “We just have to get ready to play and show them what we are made of.” So what are the Redskins made of? Anderson was the 2007 Division II state champions, the 2008 Division II state runner-up and the Redskins have a combined record of 37-5 dating back to 2007. Kevin Cripe, a senior defensive back for Anderson, has been there through it all as he made his 42ndconsecutive start against Middletown. Cripe sealed the win for Anderson with an interception inside the Redskins’ five-yard line on Middletown’s final possession. It was Cripe’s fifth interception of the season and the ninth interception of his career. “That’s the best feeling in football right there,” Cripe said of the interception with an ear-to-ear grin. “You can’t beat it.” As for the importance of the win, Cripe quickly ranked it right alongside Anderson’s regional championship win over its rivals from Turpin and subsequent state title victory in 2007. “This is right up there with those (wins),” Cripe said. In regards to total yards, Anderson rumbled for 434 yards while holding Middle-
town to 211 yards. To put it into perspective, Middletown (10-2) destroyed Moeller (9-2) in the first round of the Division I playoffs, 45-10, as the Middies posted 430 yards of offense including 254 yards on the ground. Moeller finished the season at No. 2 in the Enquirer’s final Division I Coaches’ Poll. St. Xavier (9-3) finished at No. 1 but lost during the Division I Regional Championship semi-finals to No. 3 Elder, 17-14. Anderson finished at No. 4 with Middletown at No. 5. Not so long ago, die-hard Cincinnati football fans would have laughed at the thought of the Fort Ancient Valley Conference champions taking down the best teams in the GMC. But Anderson, the FAVC’s best team, has proven the Redskins can hang with any team in the city regardless of conference. The Redskins beat Lakota West (9-2) in the first round, 24-21, before besting Middletown. Lakota West posted a 70 record in the GMC alongside Colerain (8-2, 7-0). Middletown took third place in the GMC at 6-1 in the conference. Colerain missed the playoffs though the Redskins notched post-season wins over both Lakota West and Middletown. “We don’t get rattled. Nobody expects us to be here. We have no pressure on us,” Giesting said. “We just play.”

Bombers fall to Elder, season ends By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
His players huddled around him, their heads bowed and their eyes moist. “I don’t know if I’ve ever been more proud of a group of guys,” St. Xavier High School football coach Steve Specht said. “I don’t care what the scoreboard says. That isn’t what makes champions. You guys coming out here every day and busting your tails – that’s what makes champions.” St. Xavier – a team that no one picked to do much of anything this season, a team that ended up winning a GCL-South title and a city championship, a team that aspired to win the program’s third state title in five years – fell behind 17-0 to Elder in the Division I Regional Semifinal at Nippert Stadium Nov. 14 before falling
JOSEPH FUQUA II/STAFF
St. Xavier High School senior quarterback Luke Massa of Anderson Township looks downfield against Elder. 17-14. And just like that, the Bombers’ dream season was over. They finish 9-3 (3-0). More than 20,000 fans watched as Elder jumped on
St. X early and used a bendbut-don’t-break defense to hold the Bombers scoreless through three quarters. Elder junior running back Ben Coffaro scored on a 44-yard scamper, and a 37-yard field goal by allstate kicker Tony Miliano propelled the Panthers to a 10-0 halftime lead. Wide receiver Tim O’Conner put the game out of reach with an 18-yard, broken-tackle touchdown catch to open the third quarter; he finished with three receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown. St. X got on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter after a one-yard plow from senior bruiser Nigel Muhammad. An 18-yard touchdown reception by senior wideout Will Carroll closed the gap to 17-14, but St. X, which outgained Elder 317-290, would get
no closer. The Panthers converted a fourth-and-1 pass from Mark Miller to Alex Welch for six yards with 42 seconds remaining to seal the win. “That’s a great high school football game,” Specht said. “You’ve got two communities like X and Elder that love their kids and love high school football. Everything you saw tonight is what’s great about high school athletics.” Senior quarterback Luke Massa was 20-of-28 for 221 yards with one touchdown and one interception in his final game as a Bomber. Senior tight end Alex Longi led St. X with six catches for 42 yards. “From a leadership standpoint, I’ve never had any better of a group,” Specht said of his
senior class. St. X amassed 96 yards on the ground, falling short of 100 for only the second time this season. Sophomore Conor Hundley led St. X with 16 carries for 57 yards. Elder (9-2, 1-2) advances to play Anderson (12-0, 5-0) in the Regional Final Nov. 21. Anderson downed Middletown 41-20. It was the fourth time this decade that Elder and St. X met in the postseason. The winners of the previous three showdowns all advanced to the state title game. St. X hadn’t lost in the playoffs since 2006, and Elder hadn’t beaten St. X in the playoffs since 2002. “It’s unfortunate, but it isn’t tragic,” said Specht, who is now 6-2 in his career against Elder. “It’s life.”

Speed kills Spartans’ bid for perfection Turpin seniors end careers at 44-6. By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com
Trotwood-Madison used its advantages of size and speed to dismantle the Turpin Spartans during the Division II Regional Championship semi-finals. Turpin fell to 11-1 with its season-ending loss Friday, Nov. 13, to Trotwood, 43-7, as the Spartans once again left Princeton High School’s field in a state of shock. “I think when you play a team like that, you have to

be on top of your game and we made very atypical mistakes in every phase of the game tonight,” Turpin head coach Rob Stoll said. “And really, that all comes down to me. I certainly could have done a better job (preparing them),” Stoll added. Turpin’s 2007 campaign also ended in heartbreak on an autumn night at Princeton. The Spartans fell to 12-1 in 2007 as Turpin’s season ended with a loss to its rivals from Anderson, 2423, during a game which neither program has forgotten. Anderson went on to win the 2007 Division II state title. Luke Kelly, now a redshirt freshman playing for the Miami Redhawks, saw his Spartan career end following the loss to Anderson. Liam Kelly, the secondoldest of a quartet of siblings behind Brian Kelly, was there to console Luke after the game. This time, it was Luke consoling Turpin senior linebacker Matt Kelly following the Spartans’ 2009 playoff loss. “He’s still got four more years of college football,” Luke said of his conversation with Matt following the game. “He’ll survive. He’ll survive.” Making its fourth-consecutive playoff appearance, Turpin has a combined record of 44-6 dating back to the 2006 season.

“He’s got great desire and a tremendous work ethic,” Trotwood head coach and former Chicago Bear defensive back Maurice Douglass said of Gilbert. “He wants to be out there every single play. We have to pull him off the field to basically keep him from getting hit. “They are a great, well coached team but they do some things that we as a staff picked up defensively,” Douglass said of Turpin. A quartet of the Trotwood offensive linemen weighed in at over 290 pounds with the biggest Ram tipping the scale at 331 pounds. “Our guys up front were bigger and just faster,” Douglass said. “They hadn’t seen the team speed we have overall. That was a big difference today.” Turpin senior Wayne Dunham rushed for 63 yards on 16 carries during his final game as a Spartan. Fellow Spartan senior Jeff Groene picked up 40 yards on eight carries and 36 yards on six receptions. Martin, Turpin’s junior quarterback, was 15-of-24 passing for 153 yards and a touchdown.

punt return to give his team a 7-0 lead with 10:50 left in the first quarter. Turpin responded with a 10-play, 65-yard drive which ended with a 25-yard touchdown pass from Eric Martin to Brogan Orcutt. “My comment after that was ‘Wow, we are going to have to earn every inch,’” Stoll joked of the Spartans’ only scoring drive. The game was tied at 77 briefly until Trotwood scored a trio of touchdowns in a flurry of offensive production. Leading by 28-7 at halftime, Trotwood only ran eight offensive plays during the trio of scoring drives following its touchdown return. By the end of the first half, Trotwood had rushed for 209 yards compared to just 16 yards on the ground for Turpin. Junior Antwan Gilbert rushed for 262 yards and three touchdowns on 16 carries for Trotwood including a 90-yard touchdown run to end the first half.

to adversity. McNick’s punter was lost for the season in the first game of the year and Gormly stepped right in to assume the rest of the kicking duties for the Rockets, in addition to placekicking and kickoffs. “He just added to our team by being able to do everything,” Klonne said. “He’s a great kid. He gets good grades and he’s good in school and good on the field.” Gormly, who got into kicking after playing select soccer in grade school, said he’s had several big highlights in his career, outside of breaking records. His sophomore year, he had to kick a game winning
extra point in a comeback win against Badin. “My heart was going about 1,000 miles per hour but it was good and I turned and some of the coaches and players had run onto the field and picked me up,” he said. “To have something happen like that was pretty cool.” He also had to kick a game-winning extra point in overtime against Chaminade this season. Gormly said he’s considering the possibility of playing football in college at a Division III school but that he hasn’t decided whether or not to continue playing. Gormly, who is also a second-baseman for the McNick baseball team, said

One win away from an undefeated regular season, the Mount St. Joseph football team fell 42-17 in the 14th annual Bridge Bowl Nov. 14. Thomas More leads the all-time series 11-3. Mount St. Joe, which finishes the regular season 91, won the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference title for the fourth time in the last six years. The Lions entered the week ranked 17th in the country in the American Football Coaches Association Division III Poll and 25th in the D3Football.com Top 25 Poll. The Lions now prepare for the postseason; they open tournament play Nov. 21 against a team to be determined. Despite the loss to Thomas More, head coach Rod Huber has been particularly impressed with the way his team has rebounded from a 5-5 season in 2008. “This team has something I can’t coach,” Huber said. “They’ve got chemistry. They care about each other and their coaches. We’ve got some players, but this is not an overly athletic team. It’s a bunch of blue-collar guys who work
hard.” Mount St. Joe features an explosive pro-style offense that is scoring 35.8 points per game with an average margin of victory of 16.6. The Lions are led by junior quarterback Craig Mustard (Mason), who is completing 63.4 percent of his passes and has thrown for 2,290 yards – an average of 254.4 yards per game – and 17 touchdowns. His favorite target has been junior wide receiver Derick Tabar, who leads the team in catches (43), yards (921) and yards per catch (21.4). He is also tops in the HCAC in touchdown receptions (13). “Derick is capable of making the first guy miss and taking it to the house on every touch,” Huber said. “(Mustard and Tabar) really have a special feel for each other.” On the ground, junior running back Jake Davis (Anderson) is averaging 4.8 yards per carry and leads the team in yards (803) and touchdowns (12); he is first in the HCAC in yards per game with 89.2. “He’s done a great job,” Huber said. Davis has been spelled by Noah Joseph (Atlanta), who is second on the team with 600 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. The offensive line –
which is led by seniors Anthony Walsh (Moeller) and Chris Harrison (Oak Hills) – has allowed just five sacks this season. Huber also praised the line work of sophomore Joe Noble (Colerain) and sophomore tight end Rob Blundred (Oak Hills). Defensively, the Lions are yielding nearly 20 points per game, but they have forced 10 interceptions, including two each by freshman defensive back Jerrick Boykin (Glen Este) and senior defensive back Ryan Smithmeyer (Elder). The front seven is led primarily by Elder and Oak Hills products. Junior linebacker Erik Prosser (Oak Hills) leads the team in tackles (95), senior defensive lineman Alex Harbin (Elder) is first in tackles for loss (13), and sophomore defensive lineman Brett Hambrick leads the team with 10 sacks. “We’ve been able to have success with the westside kids,” Huber said. “They’ve been playing the game a long time, and they have a big passion for it.” Huber also praised his coaching staff, which features five former high school head coaches, including offensive coordinator Vince Suriano (Anderson) and defensive assistant Bob Crable (Moeller).

McNicholas High School senior kicker Tim Gormly has some privileged company when it comes to great Rockets kickers as the fouryear kicker broke two school records during his time at McNick. Gormly set the career field goal record (19) and the career scoring record (132). The records Gormly broke belonged to one of the top kickers the area has produced, Kevin Huber, who now plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. “It’s just pretty cool to say I broke the record of a current pro football player,” Gormly said. “It was just satisfying, I worked pretty hard to make it as far as I did.” McNick head football coach Steve Klonne said Gormly, a four-year starter at kicker, has always had a good demeanor. “He was always very confident and even-keeled,” Klonne said. “Pressure didn’t bother him much and he was extremely consistent for us.” Klonne said it was a big deal for Gormly to break Huber’s record, as he called Huber “the measure of kickers in Cincinnati.” Klonne described Gormly as a great team player with a strong work ethic and as a player who responded well

football is his favorite sport and that his teammates’ faith in him made kicking easier. “With football I love that you’re around the same group of guys year-round and the bond is something you can’t describe,” he said. “And knowing my teammates had confidence in me made things easier.”

Anderson trustee-elect thanks voters Kevin O’brien Community Press guest columnist
Thank you to the voters of Anderson Township for their active participation in the election process. During a campaign season candidates do most of the talking, but voters always have the final word. I am thrilled to soon be the new member of the Township Board of Trustees. My community and public service volunteerism began over 20 years ago. Taking on
these additional leadership responsibilities is an exciting step. I am looking forward to working with Ms. Peggy Reis, Mr. Russell Jackson, Mr. Ken Dietz, volunteer members of the various citizen committees, employees of the township administration, public works, development services, sheriff’s and fire and rescue departments. Employees and volunteers
of the Forest Hills School system, its leadership team and board are an integral part of Anderson Township’s quality of life. Local businesses and their success are important to our community. The park system, greenspace and Anderson Trails are Anderson favorites. As a candidate many residents spoke freely with me about the good things in
CH@TROOM Nov. 11 question
“Although I still respect the role that this TV kids’ program has played, I tend to look at the things that hold my grandchildren’s attention today. My granddaughter is 5 1/2, and my grandson almost 3. I cared for my granddaughter for several years, 3 days a week, and we spent a lot of time watching TV. She was not really drawn to Sesame Street; rather, her preferences were shows like “Barney”, “The Wiggles”, “Blues Clues”, and a number of other newer programs. There is no doubt that Sesame Street was a groundbreaker, but I think it has been replaced.” B.B. “I was a married adult when I first heard of ‘Sesame Street,’ but I've enjoyed watching it and its offshoots with my children and, most recently, my grandchildren. “The grandkids love it as much as their parents and we use it now as then, to enjoy, to teach good values and to help raise youngsters. “Thirty years ago my CB handle was Big Bird.” R.V. “‘Sesame’ was great for my kids and now my grandchildren are learning from and relating to it as well. I like the way this show uses music to enhance learning. I relate most to Oscar the Grouch.” G.G. “Ever since they bowed to political correctness and sent ‘Cookie Monster’ off into the twilight they lost me!” C.J.W. “‘Sesame Street’ is still relevant because teaching our youngest learners the basics of reading, math and good behavior never goes out of style. I love that the characters that kept me entertained are still around to entertain my children. The addition of new characters has allowed it to stay current while maintaining the same, loving format we enjoyed years ago. I cried when Big Bird told us that Mr.
During the campaign I established “Office Hours” three days each week. Feel free to contact me with any comments or concerns. Thank you again for the opportunity to serve Anderson Township. I am looking forward to bringing fresh energy to the board. Kevin P. O’Brien is a trustee-elect for Anderson Township.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Next question
Is “Sesame Street” still relevant today, 40 years after its television debut? What are your favorite memories of the show?
Anderson. I also heard about several items of concern. As a trustee I will remember your comments and concerns and will focus on the township’s fiscal health. Common themes among residents are business and traffic activity along Beechmont Avenue, future infrastructure and job creation in the Ancor area and the expansion of heavy industrial operations within our community.
Do you plan to participate in “Black Friday” shopping the day after Thanksgiving. Why or why not? If so, how early do you go? Every week the Forest Hills Journal asks readers a question they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answers to foresthills@communitypress.com with Chatroom in the subject line. Hooper had died. No kids show today would take on the tough topic of death or some of the other issues they’ve handled over the years.” J.H. “We loved everything about ‘Sesame Street’ when my daughter was growing up, and it’s so much fun to see how much my grandchildren enjoy the same characters. I used to enjoy the send-ups of popular singers. It was over the kids’ heads, but I loved it! Bruce Stringbean’s ‘Born To Add,’ along with some of those other rock parodies, The Beetles and ‘Letter B’ and ‘Hey Food;’ Mick Swagger and the Cobble Stones singing ‘(I Can’t Get No) Co-Operation)’; Moe Cocker with ‘A Little Yelp From My Friends;’ Billy Idle with ‘Rebel L.’ Classic. S.H.M. “The mission is the same today as it was then. There are still kids who are being educated by it. Plus it has a following of people who grew up on it and are raising kids today. I always loved the skits with the aliens ... yep yep yep.” A.H. “Sesame Street was a big part of my twin granddaughters’ life. Courtney was very seriously attached to Grover and Sarah was attached to Big Bird. When Courtney had surgery on her left leg, so did Grover. They both came out of surgery sporting a beautiful pink cast on their left leg. Big Bird and Grover made a surprise visit on their fifth birthday and Sarah was frightened so that ended her relationship with him. But at almost 21 years old I am sure Grover is still in someone’s memory. P.S. I dressed as Cookie Monster myself in a Shriner parade 20 years ago and won a prize for our organization.” I.K.
Mt. Washington Pumpkin Chuck was fantastic
Kudos to all the volunteers who helped make this year’s Heads Up Pumpkin Chuck in Stanbery Park such a high-flying success. My children and I had a wonderful time there. Watching the pumpkins get launched in the trebuchet was the highlight, of course, but it was also great to see so many friends and neighbors there enjoying the gorgeous weather, delicious food and interesting displays. This unique event is a wonderful showcase for all the improvements that have been made to Stanbery Park over the past few years. Better still, it raises funds for

Don’t be afraid to state opinions People have observed that recently there seems to be an unusually high degree of animosity and hatred in political/ideological discourse. But it isn’t a totally new thing. Back in the late 1980s, the print media customarily printed the name and address of people who submitted letters to the editor. In the early ’90s, I discovered a really evil campaign to intimidate individuals who wrote letters to the newspaper, expressing a conservative viewpoint. The first tips involved obscene and threatening letters that I got from people whose names I recognized as contributors to the letters to the editor. I contacted the persons whose names appeared as the signers and learned (as I suspected) that they had not written the letters. The perpetrator typed the letters, and used salutations such as “you pathetically ignorant sl-t”, or “you ignorant son of a sl-t”, or “you pathetic a--”. The letters contained comments such as “The very best of you was long ago deposited on the beer and urine soaked floor of some sleazy neighborhood bar by your so-called parents.” There were other comments as bad or worse, and the writing
style was similar in all of the letters. I conducted a personal investigation, and spent many hours at the local library Bill Banchy reviewing old Community copies of the e w s p a p e r, Press guest nsearching for columnist letters written by people who I felt, based on the content, might be targets of this sick individual. In my research I uncovered a large number of likely victims, and contacted them to see if they had received letters like this. I found about 40 people who had indeed received such letters (some signed with my name and address). I, and some of the victims, alerted the print media, local postal authorities, the sheriff, and even an FBI special agent, but none of them felt that there was anything they could do (even though some of the letters were overtly threatening). Something similar is occurring today. I wanted to alert people who are motivated to express their
opinions in letters to the editor. Even though the media no longer prints addresses, the perpetrator evidently looks up his target’s address in the telephone directory. I hope that such people won’t be frightened into remaining silent, but will remain aware that they may receive nasty letters which may not have originated from the person whose name appears as “sender.” The language of these letters is not as obscene or threatening as it was in the 1990s, but it is nonetheless disturbing and it is troubling to think that someone might have received hate mail with your name given as the sender. I’ve discovered three such incidents in recent months; if I’ve found three, you can presume that there have been many, many more. Don’t let these kinds of cowards keep you from exercising your God-given right to express your opinions, but do be alert. And do some investigation if you should happen to receive letters like this. Bill Banchy of Anderson Township served in the U.S. Navy in the 1950s and retired from the IBM Corp. in 1991.

Erec Reichardt, who owns Lookout Joe with Greg Zmich, shows off the shop’s wide variety of coffee blends. The Mount Lookout store roasts the beans on site.
Coffee comes alive at Lookout Joe Erec Reichardt didn’t set out to become a coffee connoisseur, it just happened. After working in a few coffee shops and owning a similar store in downtown Cincinnati, Reichardt and business partner Greg Zmich opened Lookout Joe in 1997. The coffee shop, in Mount Lookout square on Linwood Avenue, offers a wide variety of beans from around the world. All the beans are roasted on site. “Coffee is like wine,” Reichardt said, noting that altitude, soil and climate affect the taste of the beans. “The only way to learn roasting is by apprenticing, then it is a lot of trial and error. Once you have the skills, it’s keeping a consistency.” Reichardt said the freshly roasted blends and pleasant atmosphere keep customers coming back to Lookout Joe. The store also stocks several free-trade certified coffees, which help ensure farmers around the world earn a livable wage. “We encourage people to buy local (because) coffee is a perishable food item and

Most coffees sell for $11 or $12 per pound and Reichardt said buying a small amount for home brewing is an economical way to try multiple flavors. Lookout Joe also creates custom blends, labels and packaging for customers. “I’ve always enjoyed the interaction with people and being able to sell something we made ourselves,” Reichardt said.

Potted bulbs can ‘light up’ your spring anywhere You can “light up” your yard next spring by planting spring bulbs in the ground now. But guess what? You can do the same thing to light up your outdoor containers next spring, or to bring spring bulb colors inside your home. Instead of planting bulbs in the ground, simply plant them in a pot. Growing spring bulbs in a container is easy. Here’s what you’ll need for your potted spring bulbs: • 4-, 6-, 8-inch or larger pots, with good drainage holes in the bottom • A good grade potting mix • Espoma’s Bulbtone (a fertilizer) • The bulbs of your choice. Any of the spring flowering bulbs will work, so look at doing some pots of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths for great fragrances, and a few minor bulbs, like crocus, for early colors. Take your pots and place about an inch or two of the potting mix in the

bottom. Then, evenly distribute your bulbs in the mix, point up, and feel free to plant them a little closer than you would normally in the ground. For the tulips, Ron Wilson place the flat side of In the garden the bulb to the outside of the pot. Cover your bulbs with more of your soil-less mix, sprinkle on a little bulb food, and then continue to fill the pot to the top, lightly compressing the soil as you fill. Water your potted bulbs thoroughly, and you’re ready to grow. Now, here’s the secret: You must over winter your potted bulbs in cold temperatures. So, leave your pots sitting outside, watering them when the soil dries out.
Once the temperatures outside have become cold, consistently, move the planted bulb pots inside an unheated garage or shed, put them down in a window well, or actually heel them into the ground, and cover with mulch or leaves for the winter. Check to make sure they have soil moisture when you move them, and water lightly over the winter as the soil dries. Otherwise, just let them sit dormant enjoying the cold temperatures. Early next spring, when the bulbs start to grow, bring them in to the house, or place your potted bulbs in an outdoor planter, give them a light water soluble feeding, water as needed, and let them do their “spring thing.” Ron Wilson is marketing manager for Natorp’s Inc.

Has marriage become too frail to carry our dreams? Marriage is being scrutinized today because of its disappearing stability. So is the earth being scrutinized because of its disappearing glaciers. So is organized religion because of its disappearing congregations. Whenever crucial elements of life start fading our concern for them escalates. We worry about marriage because of its immense impact on the collective and individual welfare of society. Our country has the highest divorce rate in the world. “We divorce, re-partner and remarry faster than people in any other country,” says Andrew Cherlin, a Johns Hopkins sociologist, in his book, “The MarriageGo-Round.” A recent column in Time magazine (Aug. 24 and 31) addressed the same concern titled, “Americans Marry Too Much.” It expressed a legitimate worry about our kids, “American kids are more likely than those in other developed countries to live in a household with a
revolving cast of parents, stepparents, and live-in partners moving in and out of Father Lou their lives Guntzelman – a pattern Perspectives which is definitely not good for children.” Cherlin was amazed to find out that American kids born to married couples experienced 6 percent more household disruption by age 15 than Swedish kids born to unmarried parents. “Remember, we’re talking about the ‘avant-garde’ Swedes compared to the ‘conservative’ Americans,” Cherlin says. The bottom line is that while marriage is good for kids, it’s best when it results in a stable home. Or, as Cherlin puts it, “Many of the problems faced by American’s children stem not from parents marrying too little but rather too often.” What’s gone wrong? It would take volumes to try

Despite superficial pre-marriage “preparation courses” most go into a marriage relationship at a rather superficial level. to assess. One factor is that most couples still embark on the marriage journey believing that “all we need is love and good sex.” Interestingly, too many still mistake infatuation and active hormones as convincing proof that love exists. Nor do they realize what else is needed even when genuine love is present. M. Bridget Brennan and Jerome L. Shen, in their book “Claiming Our Deepest Desires,” point out important elements missing in today’s new marriages: “Navigational tools of communication, conflict resolution, deep listening, willingness to admit errors and wrongdoings, a sense of humor, trust and emotional maturity are all necessary in a good and lasting marriage.” To these I would add a
solid sense of commitment. That’s not just a casual promise but a vow from the deepest core of ourself, that come good times or bad, we’ll both work on our relationship throughout life. A marriage relationship is a dynamic living organism undergoing various stages, cycles, rhythms and moods. Despite superficial premarriage “preparation courses” most go into a marriage relationship at a
rather superficial level. Few expect a lifetime of work. We do not know our self or our spouse as well as we think we do. And what we don’t know can hurt us. Marriage is a process of self-discovery as well as spouse-discovery. That’s why Gary and Betsy Ricucci quipped to newlyweds, “One of the best wedding gifts God gave you was a full-length mirror called your spouse. Had there been a card attached, it would have said, ‘Here’s to helping you discover what you’re really like.’ ” Psychologically and spiritually the other human we marry is, in the truest sense, to be a helpmate in our selfawareness and growth.
The process of self-discovery and spouse discovery is an unending challenge. We are either going forward, going backward, or trying to live our relationship on cruise control – which means coasting along effortlessly. Yet, can anything loving, enduring and beautiful ever be constructed without personal effort? Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Readers resurrect Fern’s beloved chili Writing this column week after week never gets “old” to me. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s the sharing of recipes and stories that make it a popular read. Apparently Fern Storer, food editor at the Cincinnati Post for a very long time, had Rita the same Heikenfeld r e l a t i o n ship with Rita’s kitchen her readers. When Pam Timme asked for Fern’s chili recipe, I had no idea the response would be so great. I figured a few of you might have a copy. Well, not only did I get a couple dozen responses; one reader offered to send me a copy of Fern’s cookbook (and I will definitely accept!). So thanks, thanks, thanks to all of you who shared recipes and stories of this unique lady. I wish I had met her. I understand she was an enthusiastic gardener, as well. I know my Mom liked Fern’s recipes, and that to me was a great endorsement. I made the chili during a

Additionally, Anderson Township paid for related construction work to reconfigure handicapped ramps, when necessary, and to improve drainage, also where necessary. “While we have improved the ability for students to walk to school through the construction of sidewalks around schools, one of the key concerns we
have heard from parents involves the safety concerns of crossing major roadways,” said Steve Sievers, assistant administrator for operations and Development Services director. As a result of these concerns, the Anderson Township worked with the Forest Hills Local School District and other agencies to prepare a Safe Routes to Schools Plan in 2007, which was targeted at improving the safety of crosswalks near schools. In 2008, the township received funding to introduce improvements at seven of these locations, as part of a larger community effort to improve safety at crosswalk locations.

Key crosswalk areas around schools recently have been improved, thanks to a state grant and efforts by Anderson Township to make it safer for children to walk to school. In recent weeks, pedestrian countdown signals, similar to those that exist along Beechmont Avenue and the Five Mile Trail, have been installed at three intersections near schools: Eight Mile and Northport (near Summit Elementary School), State and Nagel (near Nagel Middle School) and Nagel and Clough Pike (also near Nagel Middle School). Funding was supplied by a 2008 Safe Routes to School grant.

Local business to collect items for soldiers By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com
It’s a small gesture that will mean a great deal. The staff at Appearance Plus Cleaners was looking for a way to give back to the community and decided to conduct a donation drive – Deployed for the Holidays – to help the troops. “It’s really important to us,” said General Manager Debbie Heitzman. The business partnered with the Yellow Ribbon Support Center to send care packages to a group of local soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, Heitzman said. Army Reserve Staff Sgt. Joe Byrnes, an Iraq war veteran and employee at Appearance Plus Cleaners, said he met with Keith Maupin, co-founder of the
Yellow Ribbon Support Center, to learn about the changing needs for the troops. Byrnes added that he also used his experience in combat to guide the donation list. “The biggest thing, while I was over there, was to receive DVDs, especially around the holidays,” he said. Outside of basic needs, Byrnes said anything with a hometown touch – Cincinnati Bengals or Reds merchandise, Skyline Chili or LaRosa’s sauce – can help lift spirits. Heitzman said donations for Deployed for the Holidays will be collected through the end of November. It’s this type of community outreach and a philosophy to exceed customer
Troop donations Appearance Plus Cleaners has partnered with the Yellow Ribbon Support Center to collect donations until the end of November for troops stationed overseas. These include: • Travel-size toiletries, baby wipes or lip balm. • White socks • AA or AAA batteries • Non-perishable snacks expectations on each visit that Heitzman attributes to helping Appearance Plus Cleaners stay in business for 25 years. “We really try to give back to the community,” she said. The company has worked on similar projects for other organizations such as Dress for Success, Kenzie’s Closet and the Assistance League of Greater
such as granola bars, sunflower seeds, beef jerky or hard candy • Magazines and DVDs • Hometown products such as Skyline Chili, Montgomery Inn barbecue sauce or local sports teams’ merchandise. • For more donation ideas, visit www.appearanceplus.com and click on “Promo Offers.” Cincinnati. To celebrate the 25th anniversary and show customer appreciation, Heitzman said there will be an open house on Saturday, Nov. 21. Customers can learn more about the operations, tour the plant, receive discounts on incoming orders and register to win a free house cleaning. Appearance Plus Cleaners has locations on Clough Pike in Anderson Township, Erie Avenue in Hyde Park and W. 3rd Street in downtown Cincinnati.

Stimulus package: Christmas trees By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com
Business owner Tom Frey is hoping to spread some holiday cheer. A co-owner of City Beverage, Frey has also sold Christmas trees, wreaths and other greenery for more than two decades. He will offer what he calls a “Christmas Tree Stimulus Package” by providing trees and other items at a reduced rate. He said the sale is more than just a way to help his customers out. “I’m (also) in the window and door installation business, and I have seen the impact this economic downturn has had,” said Frey, who lives in Oakley. “I want to give back and help out families feeling the effect of the economy.” Although trees will be available on his Christmas tree lot at 3661 Shaw Ave., Frey said a bigger discount will be offered to those who
order directly through the Web site www.queencitychristmastrees.com. On the Web site, a 6- to 7-foot tall Frasier fir is selling for $29, a 7- to 8-foot tall Frasier fir is selling for $31 and a 22-inch Frasier fir wreath is selling for $9. The deadline for Webbased orders is Friday, Nov. 20. The trees will then be delivered to Purcell Marian High School Sunday, Nov. 29, for pickup. A variety of trees ranging in size from 3 to 14 feet will be available on the Hyde Park business’s lot, as well as poinsettias, wreaths and garland roping. “Obviously, it’s good to help people out,” said Gary Hassman, who helps Frey during the holiday season and is referred to by friends as “a tree tech.” “There are special cases when we can help out, and we try when we can.” Hassman lives in Anderson Township. For additional information, call 321-1192.

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…
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.
