St. Elizabeth plan calls for big changes By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

With new locations in Covington and Fort Thomas, St. Elizabeth Healthcare is planning some big changes for the future. The health care system, which also includes the locations in Edgewood, Falmouth, Florence and Grant County, has developed a strategic plan that will serve as a road map for the next three years, said Tom Saalfeld Sr., vice president and chief operating officer for St. Elizabeth Fort Thomas. The plan, which was developed

through a 12-month process with input from the board of trustees, management, physicians and community leaders, includes moving and upgrading a variety of services. One of the biggest changes will be in obstetrics care. Currently, the facilities in Fort Thomas, Edgewood and Florence accommodate women for labor and delivery, but starting Nov. 1, Fort Thomas will no longer offer that service. In the second quarter of 2011, Florence will no longer offer the service, meaning all pregnant

women will have to go to the Edgewood location to deliver. The plan includes upgrading the Edgewood location to include a Level III NICU and nursery. In Fort Thomas, the space vacated by obstetrics may possibly be filled by expanding oncology, women’s services, chemical dependency and mental health. In Florence officials are looking at an additional med-surg unit with private beds and expanded women’s services. The consolidation will allow St. Elizabeth to save money, offer more and expand services,

Saalfeld said. Additionally, they hope the plan will decrease migration of patients to Cincinnati hospitals, he said. Saalfeld said the plan may change depending on the economy and possible health care changes by the federal government. “We’re trying to take steps now to be as strong as we can be financially,” Saalfeld said. “We’re trying to be proactive instead of reactive down the road if something happens with the health care system.” For more information about St. Elizabeth Healthcare visit www.stelizabeth.com.

Vague childhood memories and a random conversation at the Southgate House led Fort Thomas resident Gary Walton to write a novel set in Newport’s Sin City days. Walton’s novel, “Prince of Sin City,” is about a reporter who gets caught up in kidnapping and civil corruption in Newport. Walton, a professor at Northern Kentucky University, said the idea for the novel stemmed from memories of Sin City from his childhood growing up in Fort Thomas. “I remember taking the bus to Cincinnati to see shows, and my mom always told me never to get off in Newport because it was a dangerous place,” Walton said. “Of course, as a kid, that intrigued me.” This memory and more came back when Walton had a random

Fort Thomas resident Gary Walton, a professor at Northern Kentucky University, recently published a novel set in Newport’s Sin City days. conversation at the Southgate House with a retired cop who told him about Bobby Kennedy and his time in Newport. “The Kennedys had a connection to Newport and what was going on there,” Walton said.

“When Bobby Kennedy said he would do whatever he could to take down organized crime, a lot a people in Newport weren’t happy.” While much of the books sticks to the facts about businesses, locations and well-known people, Walton said it isn’t meant to be history book, just a story. “I don’t let facts get in the way of a good story,” Walton said. Walton said he hopes to write a sequel to the novel in the next year or two. The current book is available at www.amazon.com, www.finishinglinepress.com or by sending $24.95 to Gary Walton, 519 Landrum Hall, Northern Kentucky University, Highland Heights, KY 41099. Walton is doing a presentation about Prince of Sin City at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22 at the Newport branch of the Campbell County Public Library.

Conservators look to preserve land with native plants By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

Trying to beat a bush is the top obstacle for conservationists’ plans to turn the 140-acre Hawthorne Crossing preserve back over to native plant species.

An ecologist’s report has identified enemy number one is the Japanese Bush Honeysuckle. Members of the public and of the Campbell County Conservation District’s board listened to a presentation of what grows on the

property by ecologist Ed Harcowicz of the biological inventory of the property that overlooks the Licking River south of Cold Spring Thursday, Sept. 24 at the Southern Campbell County Fire District. The 35-page biological inventory, performed by Third Rock Consultants for the conservation district, will eventually be posted on the district’s Web site http://home.fuse.net/campbellcd. The Campbell Conservancy, working with the conservation district and Campbell County Fiscal Court, acquired the land, an old dairy farm overlooking the Licking River near Cold Spring, in 2008 for use as a natural area for county residents. The three groups have formed a joint advisory team to manage the property. A major part of the funding for the purchase

and management of the property is from an $862,673 grant from the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund. Harcowicz said the bush honeysuckles cover much of the property, and it will be a difficult and lengthy process to remove them and make way for native plants, trees and grasses.

There are also other invasive plant species including Osage Orange and Sage trees not native to Kentucky that were introduced decades ago, he said. Before the public overview of the property’s plant species, the advisory team met and approved the next step for preserving the property, an archeological

dig, said board member Pete Garrett, a Conservancy board member. The archeological dig will be performed over a couple of months this fall, Garrett said. There aren’t many set plans for the property yet, but there is a hope to create a trail down to the Licking River for canoe and kayak use, said Larry Varney, chairman of the conservation district. The hope is to use the land in low-impact ways, but still allowing people to come and see what rural Kentucky looks like. Preserving the area is important because Campbell County’s rural history is at stake, Varney said. “It’s all disappearing and becoming subdivisions and Wal-Marts,” he said. “Before long, people won’t remember what used to be there.”

Police ‘scramble’ for children’s fund By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com

In order to make many Campbell County children’s Christmas wishes come true, a local fraternal police group has started with breaking a few eggs – made to order. Managers from City Brew, an Alexandria coffee business, with an assist from the hands of officers from Campbell County Fraternal Order of

Police Lodge 10, spent the morning of Sept. 26 cooking omelets for a $5 each. Alexandria Lt. George Schreiner, the treasurer of the F.O.P Lodge, as he picked up a spatula, joked that he could cook some eggs, but only scrambled eggs. The fundraiser, paired with a scheduled “Wild Hogs” motorcycle charity ride the same day that was thwarted by heavy fog, was

for the F.O.P.’s biggest annual event, the group’s Cops n’ Kids Christmas program. The F.O.P. invites needy children through school districts in the county to go on a $250 shopping spree with an officer, and then have a sit down lunch at Manhattan Harbour Reef Restaurant in Dayton. The lunch is donated by the restaurant. The annual holiday event

has been steadily growing during the past five years from when about 20 children were being invited, said Bellevue Police Department Lt. Jimmie Poynter, president of Lodge 10. “Last year, we identified 57 kids that we could help,” Poynter said. Each child was guided through their shopping trip at Meijer with a local police officer last year. The shopping spree, held early each December, also helps show the children that police are approachable, rather than just someone who arrests people, he said. Children who participate often try and get things for their other family members before themselves, Poynter

Other ways to donate

The Campbell County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 10 is collecting donations to help fund the group’s annual Cops n’ Kids Christmas shopping spree and meal program for needy children. To donate, make checks out to F.O.P. Lodge 10, and mail to P.O. Box 133, Alexandria, KY 41001. Businesses like City Brew in Alexanria and Manhattan Harbour in Dayton, are hosting fundraisers for the program this year. Manhattan Harbour will have a “Pirates Ball” open to the public to raise funds for Cops n’ Kids Oct. 10. said. But they have to get something for themselves before they can get something for someone else, he said. Police also make sure the children receive a coat and clothing in addition to a toy and the grocery store donates two bags of groceries that go home with the child. “Sometimes people need help, and sometimes you’ve got to show them that somebody cares,” he said. “It makes a difference.”

With a new state-of-art Performing Arts Center and updated art classrooms, Highlands High School officials are working to develop students’ artistic abilities. The only portion of the performing arts that isn’t quite up-topar with the rest of the school’s standards is dance, but improvements are in the works, said Superintendent John Williamson. For the first time, the district is offering a variety of dance classes for various grade level throughout the district, including an all male dance and movement class at Highlands. The eight-week class, called Beats and Bars, is taught by professionals from Cincinnati Ballet and includes lessons on hip-hop, ballet, jazz and dance tricks. “We are trying to start a performing arts magnet program at Highlands, but we don’t have dance classes,” Williamson said. “This is kind of an experiment to see how much interest is out there.” Sophomore Max Colvill, who has been involved in musical theater since fifth grade, said he decided to take the class because he wanted to improve his dancing. “Of the triple threat; acting, singing and dancing, I am most lacking in dance,” said Colvill, who is hoping to pursue a career in musical theater. Colvill said the class is great because it brings a lot a different genres together and students are learning a lot. While many of the students taking the class are involved with theater, some, like sophomore Bo

Sean Burns (left) and Max Colvill dance during the class. McGhee, are taking it to improve their flexibility and agility for athletic purposes. McGhee, who plays for Highlands’ football team, said he has enjoyed the class so far. “I have gotten more flexible already,” McGhee said. While the class has already held three sessions, students are welcome to join any time and the class will also be offered again in the spring. Williamson said the district is also teaming up with Cincinnati Ballet to offer after school classes for elementary schools students and gifted and talented students. The district is planning to incorporate dance classes into the school day starting next year, Williamson said.

New student-run business opened by Highlands class

By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com

Highlands High School’s entrepeneurship class has opened its first ever student-run business Bluebirds Apparel and Merchandise (BAM). The business, which was thought of by the students and is completely run by the students, is offering a variety of products centered around school spirit. “The idea is to give the students an opportunity to get some real-life business experience,” said teacher Andrea Conners. “They have done everything from coming up with the mission statement to marketing.” To get the business started, students have been selling shares of stock in the company and working with companies who make the products the students are going to sell to find the best deals. BAM had its grand opening Friday, Sept. 25 and will be open daily from 7:45 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. to 3 p.m. Students will take turns running the store, which is located at the school next to the bookstore. Junior Alex Turner, who does some of the marketing for the class, said he thought running their own business would be fun and give the class good experience. “It will be cool when we start seeing our products around the school and seeing people wearing stuff that we designed,” Turner said.

Highlands High School senior Shelby Pike checks out some of the merchandise for her entrepeneurship class’s new student-run small business, Bluebirds Apparel and Merchandise (BAM). Turner said he thinks the business will be successful because as students, the class knows what students are interested in buying. Senior Shelby Pike, also in marketing, said she has always wanted to be an entrepreneur and start her own business. “This has helped me realize and appreciate all the work that goes in to having a business,” Pike said. “It’s a lot of work, but I think it’s going pretty well.” For more information about the company and its products or to purchase stocks, contact Andrea Conners at andrea.conners@fortthomas.kyschool.us.

Bluebirds enjoy landmark win

By James Weber jweber@nky.com

The Highlands High School football team has spent the past six weeks bolstering its Greater Cincinnati rankings, state rankings and national rankings. As of Sept. 29, Highlands joined the USA Today rankings at No. 23, ahead of the team they beat – St. Xavier (No. 25) – to get there. Now the Bluebirds turn their attention to perhaps the most important part of their season – the district rankings. Highlands hosts Dixie Heights 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, in their first 5A district game of the season. Dixie is 1-0 in the district after beating Scott, 44-0. The Bluebirds go into the game on a high after beating Cincinnati St. Xavier 12-7 Sept. 25 in Fort Thomas. The game was televised nationally by CBS College Sports. St. X, ranked nationally in several published polls, had beaten Kentucky 6A powers Trinity and Louisville St. Xavier in the previous two weeks. That lends credence to a conclusion that Highlands is the top team in the state, regardless of class. The game was a defensive standoff, with Highlands outgaining the Bombers, 238-207. Highlands led 2-0 at halftime, with the points coming on a botched St. X snap for a safety. St. X stopped Highlands on several scoring opportunities near its goal line. Each team committed three turnovers. Austin Abner and Brandon Roller had interceptions for the Bluebirds, and Colin Rosenhagen recovered a fumble. Roller had 11 tackles and a sack as well. “We needed a game like this to step up on defense and show everybody what we’ve got,” Roller said. “A lot of people were doubting us before the game, but we proved that we’re here to play.” A big key was Bluebirds’ quarterback Will Bardo, who rushed 16 times for 133 yards and a touchdown. That score made it 90 in the third quarter. The Bomber defense limited Bardo to 3-of-6 passing for 52 yards.

Boone County 49, Campbell County 12

The Rebels racked up 408 rushing yards in winning the Class 6A district opener for both teams. Campbell (2-3, 0-1) hosts Ryle (4-1, 1-0) 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2. Charles Quainoo had 252 rushing yards and three touchdowns for the Rebels against the Camels. Campbell had 314 yards offense. Michael Kremer had 161 passing yards and two touchdown passes to Danny Glasgow.

tice during the week. Still, the Mustangs came out strong against Ludlow, scoring twice in the first eight minutes of the game to take a 14-0 lead. Michael Whitford and John Schack had touchdowns. However, Ludlow returned a kickoff for a touchdown after the second touchdown, then Ludlow quarterback Zach Stegemoller rushed 94 yards for a score to tie the game late in the first period. After halftime, Ludlow controlled the game with three unanswered touchdowns. Michael Whitford rushed for 72 yards on 12 carries for Brossart. Chris Bowman was 43 yards in 12 attempts. Jacob Orth threw for 63 yards and one touchdowns. “It’s a game we could have easily won,” said Brossart head coach Matt Reinhart. “We came out the first quarter and played great. After that, we didn’t have any juice. If we can get back to conditioning, we’ll be fine.”

Bellevue 47, Walton-Verona 0

Bellevue looks to go 2-0 in Class 1A district play when the Tigers host Brossart Friday, Oct. 2. That may not be an issue if the Tigers get the same type of game out of Ricky Buckler that they did in beating Walton-Verona 47-0 Sept. 25. Working on a muddy track, Buckler rushed for a career high 308 yards and five touchdowns. He has 1,049 yards in Bellevue’s 3-2 start including 14 TDs. Four of those scores came in the first half, as Bellevue scored on all five of its first-half possessions in workmanlike fashion, while shutting down the Walton offense. Bellevue limited W-V to 78 yards offense and forced three turnovers, including a 79-yard interception return for a score by Alex Hegge.

Beechwood 49, Dayton 7

Dayton looks to go 1-1 in Class 1A district play in a crucial home game against Ludlow Friday, Sept. 25. Dayton lost to Beechwood 49-7 Sept. 25 to start district play, dropping the Greendevils to 0-5 overall. Beechwood scored 86 percent of its points (42) in the first quarter. Joe Colosimo had 118 rushing yards and three touchdowns, helping the Tigers to 446 yards offense.

Estill County 24, Newport 20

Newport is getting ready for its Class 2A district opener against rival Newport Central Catholic 7 p.m. Friday at Newport Stadium. The Wildcats will try to bounce back from a tough loss after falling to Estill County, 24-20 Sept. 24. Newport rallied from a 17-0 halftime deficit to take a 20-17 lead, but gave up a late touchdown for the deciding margin. Demitri Brown threw for 189 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 89 yards and two scores. He has 792 yards and 13 scores at the halfway point of the regular season. The TD pass, to Brandon Carter, gave Newport the lead in the fourth quarter. Carter had four catches for 78 yards. Robert Washington had two grabs for 65 yards. Brown and Quin McDay recovered fumbles on defense.

CovCath bested Newport Central Catholic 28-14 Saturday, Sept. 26. The Colonels overcame adversity to defeat the Thoroughbreds, playing without three offensive starters and falling behind 7-0 early in the game. NewCath blocked a punt to set up the game’s first score, a 14-yard pass from Brady Hightchew to Nick Woltermann. The ’Breds game plan was to control the ball and limit the Colonels’ time of possession. That put pressure on CovCath to make the most of its time on offense. After the New Cath touchdown, the Colonels responded with 28 unanswered points. Nick Martin preserved the Colonels lead by intercepting a Hightchew pass deep in CovCath territory in the closing seconds of the first half. Troy Timmerman intercepted Hightchew at the CovCath 15-yard line on the ’Breds first drive of the second half. Hightchew added a fourth quarter touchdown run for New Cath. The quarterback finished with 135 yards passing and 108 yards rushing. New Cath (1-5) plays at Newport (2-3) Friday, Oct. 2.

Ludlow 35, Brossart 14

A tough couple of weeks for the Bishop Brossart football team won’t get any easier. Brossart (3-2, 0-1) travels to Bellevue Friday, Oct. 2 for its second 1A district game of the season. The first one didn’t go well for the last three quarters as the Mustangs fell to Ludlow, 35-14 Monday night, Sept. 28.

for seasonal flu vaccination and the one-time pneumonia shot, to prevent this common flu complication. To date, there have been no outSteven breaks of swine flu Katkowsky, in older populaM.D. tions. The hard science on this Community isn’t in yet, but the Recorder theory is that the guest current swine flu columnist virus is close enough to a virus that circulated many years ago that people who lived through that time period have built up immunity. While it seems strange that vaccination for a new strain of the flu would be targeted at different groups than the current seasonal flu vaccination, we must make priorities based on data. We’re also receiving many questions about the number of swine flu cases. As the swine flu begins to spread further into our community, it’s becoming difficult to count every case. Keep in mind, however, that we don’t capture information on every case of seasonal flu either. Surveillance is an effective way of tracking the spread of the disease. We are now tracking statistics like school absentee rates. We’re working with physicians to determine what symptoms they are seeing in their ill patients. Public health is a branch of science, and recommendations from public health must be made based on the science at hand. As we continue to learn more about the swine flu, we will continue to use that information to make the decisions that will best protect our citizens and prevent the spread of the virus. I can assure you that I will continue to keep everyone in the community up to date with the latest information I have. Dr. Steven R.

Hunting laws in Kentucky For those of you who actually have time to get out and hunt this season I envy you, however, I thought it may be helpful and informative to review some of the laws related to hunting in the State of Kentucky. A resident, owner, or tenant of farm lands, their spouse and dependent children are permitted to hunt on their own land without obtaining a hunting license. It is illegal for all others to hunt without a license and the appropriate permits. Special licenses are available for senior citizens age 65 or older and children under 16 years of age. We get complaints every year and sometimes issue charges for people hunting on another's land without permission. Under Kentucky law, a person is prohibited from entering on another's land without their oral or written permission. The penalty under the law governing hunting is up to a $300 fine for a first offense and a $1,000 fine for a second offense plus forfeiture of one's hunting license, plus liability for any damages to the property. Under the criminal code that deals with criminal trespass, a fine of up to $250 and up to ninety days in jail is possible for entering onto property where notice against trespassing is given by fencing or other enclosure and a fine of up to $250 for trespassing upon property where no notice against trespassing is given. Under Kentucky law, it is illegal to hunt if a person is manifestly under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance and the person may endanger himself or other persons or property, or if the person is engaging in disorder-

ly conduct. Such a person may be arrested by a peace officer and upon conviction, is subject to a fine of up to $500 and/or up to six months in jail. James A. Every year we Daley have individuals charged with varCommunity ious offenses such Recorder as killing game guest out of season, columnist having improper type weapons, the illegal use of spot lights and trespassing on another's property. In addition to the fines and jail time that may be imposed, the offender's hunting privileges are generally suspended for some period of time and the weapons used are forfeited. Land owners are often concerned about their liability if someone gets hurt or hurts someone else while hunting on their property. Under Kentucky law, if you give permission to someone to hunt on your land, you are not liable for any injury to any person or property caused by the negligent acts of the hunter. Also, the land owner owes no duty to keep the premises safe for entry and use by hunters or to give warning of any hazardous condition that might exist on the property. However, a land owner may be liable if there is a willful and malicious failure on his part to guard or warn the hunter of a known dangerous condition on the property. Although this time of the year is very exciting for the many hunters in Campbell County, it can also be a dangerous time of the

Swine flu poses many questions

I wish I could answer every question with strong scientific data to back me up. Are we doing enough to prepare for the swine flu and seasonal flu? Are we doing too much? Why is the virus spreading among young people? Questions like these have been a recurrent theme at the public presentations that our department is holding on swine flu this month. While I am able to share the best science that’s available to date, unfortunately it’s impossible for me to answer each question with complete certainty. But it is important to share what is known. We know that the real danger of the flu lies in the fact that it wears your body down, opening it up to other infections. For someone with an underlying medical condition, such as asthma or diabetes, the flu combined with the existing condition is dangerous and often leads to hospitalization, and, in a number of instances, even death. A recently released study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention examined the cases of 36 children who died from swine flu. Two-thirds of the children had underlying medical conditions such as muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy. The remaining one-third who died had no underlying conditions, but died due to a bacterial infection that took root while they were already infected with flu. Data like these have helped shape our plans for prevention and containment of the virus already in our community. Since April, children with serious medical conditions have been at higher risk for complications from swine flu, as have pregnant women. Thus, these two groups are going to be among the first to receive the vaccination when it is available in October or November. Looking at the seasonal flu, a different trend emerges: Adults age 65 and older comprise 90 percent of the 36,000 deaths that occur each year from complications related to influenza and pneumonia, according to CDC. Thus, they are targeted

Brenner, along with Principal Jay Brewer, will be recognized at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. in November because Moyer was named a Blue Ribbon School. The designation recognizes schools that achieve at high levels or significantly close achievement gaps. Brewer said he left it up to the faculty and staff to choose who went to the ceremony, and Brenner received the most votes.

“I just think she is so well respected by her peers,” Brewer said. “She has a very professional approach to her job and she always puts the kids’ needs first.” Brenner, who has been working at the school for about 20 years and now teaches math and language arts, said she is honored, but feels a little guilty about being the one to go. “Everyone here deserves it because it was really a team effort,” Brenner said. “Everyone contributed to our success, and I really hope I can reflect the work they’ve done.”

Life

What if I become angry with God? Honest people admit there are times they’re angry at God. Pious people pretend their faith is so strong that they’re never angry. A wise old lady said, “It’s better to be honest than pious.” If we’re human and honest there are times we do become angry and blame God for a lot of things (whether God’s responsible or not): he’s too silent; unresponsive to our needs; and unrelenting when our sufferings persist. We beg for a problem to be removed and it just gets worse. We pray for a dying child and the child dies. Years ago a mother’s 10-yearold son was killed in a freak accident. She stopped going to church and said she couldn’t believe in a God who would allow such tragedies to happen. Her anger is understandable.

Yet, which of us can explain to her or ourselves the mysteries of life? We might wonder – does the tragedy really demolish her belief in a God, or is she so enraged at God she can’t let herself express the grief in a God, or is she so enraged at God she can’t let herself express the grief she feels he caused her? What if she could rage and wrestle with God? God can take it. Might an honest human interchange with God possibly introduce her to a greater and loving God who suffers with her? When such existential crises occur some people lose their faith while very many eventually find their faith strengthened. God’s amazing grace is a powerful thing. Can we express our anger with God, and of all things, it still be

considered prayer? Certainly! The Bible abounds with examples. The prophets rebuked God at times for their hardships. Many of the Old Testament Psalms are known as “Lament Psalms,” prayers of complaint. God was real to them and they felt free enough to express their frustration. Certain psalms present us with words and feelings we might ordinarily hesitate using. “Lord, why do you cast me off and hide your face from me?” (Psalm 88) Others express our reliance on the care of God and complain when it seems missing, “God you are my rock, so why have you forgotten me?” (Psalm 42) Job’s wife was so angry she told Job to “Curse God, and die.” (Job 2:9) Where else can we be totally

human if not before the One who made us? We can sing out our praise and gratitude to God. At other times we can pray our frustrations and anger. We can also shout out our feelings of forsakenness and empty them out, send them echoing through the universe. Then, as we so often do in our human-to-human relationships, we see things differently and recant until the next time. Being open to God lets God be open with us. We can be true to him and to ourselves. We appreciate anyone who accepts our feelings of anger and doubt and accepts them, especially God. We begin to trust such a one with the rest of ourselves. Our honest struggles with God can permit us to make great advances

in our faith. We begin to understand life with insights we never had before. Some of us cling too long to our anger with Father Lou God or another Guntzelman person. To feel hurt and plan Perspectives vengeance is tasty to the undeveloped soul. It enables us to feel perpetually wronged, entitled to self-indulgence, and serve as an excuse for our lack of compassion toward others. We cynically print on our personal coat-of-arms, “Poor Me, Mean God.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@community press.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.

No purchase necessary for sweepstakes entry A local woman says she was shocked to learn her 87-year-old mother has been spending thousands of dollars on items in the mistaken belief the more she ordered the better chance she would have of winning a million dollar sweepstakes. Unfortunately, this type of thing has happened many times with senior citizens. Angie Pauly of Madeira said she discovered her mother wrote as many as five checks in one day, for a nearly two years, as she ordered merchandise from Publisher’s Clearing House. “I had one checkbook and I added up, just since July, what she had spent, and it was like $700,” Pauly said. After locating another checkbook, Pauly found more checks had been written so the total since July came to more than $1,200. “She paid $21.95 for ‘socket sensors,’ and I don’t

know what you do with them – there are no directions. It’s just worthless stuff. She hasn’t even opened this box,” she said. “She gets this stuff and just sets it aside because she thinks its going to help her win, I think,” Pauly said. In many cases the items received do have some value. She paid nearly $38 for four silver dimes, but when Pauly took them to a coin dealer she learned they were worth only $4. She has gone through many of the items, putting them in boxes and trying to see which ones she can return to try to get back some money. Pauly said she called Publisher’s Clearing House. “When I called, a supervisor was to call me back. That never happened. They were supposed to send me a list of things she could return. I’ve never gotten the list,” she said. So I called Publisher’s

Clearing House and learned the firm is aware some senior citizens are spending thousands of dollars each year because they believe it increases their chances of winning the sweepstakes. As a result, a company spokesman said the company set up a consumer aid program to try to weed out big spending seniors who are confused about this. He said 75 percent of those who respond to the company’s mailings return their entries without buying anything. The mailings include statements that you don’t have to buy anything to win but, he said, some seniors still don’t understand. After I explained the problem with Angie Pauly’s mother, the spokesman told me Publisher’s Clearing House will send her postage-paid labels to help her return the items so she can get back the money. As proof you don’t have

Tickle your kids pink with healthy ice pops How is it that I can easily make, from scratch, a pastry-shop q u a l i t y, multi-layer Vi e n n e s e torte with a delicate cooked p a s t r y cream fillRita ing, yet Heikenfeld have trouRita s kitchen ble sometimes with boxed cakes? I learned why last night at cake decorating class. I forgot to follow the advice my teacher, Martha Buckler, gave: Don’t mix on too high a speed since that causes air bubbles. Instead, smack the cakes down on the counter to remove air bubbles before baking (my mom always did that), and bake at 325 degrees and not 350 degrees. You’ll have to bake a bit longer. Also if you’re using 9-inch round cake pans use two boxes of cake mix to fill them up nicely. Ditto for a 9-by-13 if you want a nice, high cake. You’ll wind up having some leftover for another small cake.

Healthy pink lemonade dreamsicles for kids

For the mom who wants a healthier frozen treat for her kids. “I want to give them something that tastes good but is good for them,” she said. From my book “The Official Snack Guide.” These are great post-game snacks. 2 cups plain fat free yogurt 1 ⁄2 cup frozen pink or regular lemonade concentrate, thawed 1 teaspoon vanilla Blend everything together and pour into ice pop molds or four, 6-ounce paper cups. If making in cups, when partially frozen, insert craft sticks. To make orange dreamsicles: Substitute orange juice for the lemonade Tips from Rita’s kitchen: If you’re going to serve these right from the cooler for the kids at the game, skip the sticks and pack plastic spoons.

Farm stand corn salad

Friend Mary Lee Olinger brought this to my home recently for an impromptu dinner with friends. Here’s the history of the recipe: It started with Martha Helmick, then went to Peggy Robinson and onto Mary Lee. It was pretty as a picture and delicious to boot. 4 ears fresh corn 11⁄2 lbs. asparagus or green beans (sometimes I use both ) 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half 1 ⁄4 cup basil, cut into small pieces 3 tablespoons minced red onion 1 tablespoon lemon juice 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Salt and pepper In large saucepan filled with salted boiling water, cook corn for seven minutes. Take corn out and submerge in cold water. In same pan cook asparagus or green beans until crisp tender. Take vegetables out and submerge in cold water. Cut kernels off corn, and cut up

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

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