Milford schools to honor veterans By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

Milford students, teachers and members of the community will come together Sunday, Nov. 8, and Wednesday, Nov. 11, to honor men and women from the area who have served in the military. The first event will be a graduation ceremony for former Milford High School students who left school to join the military. They will be honored with a medal, diploma and the ceremony will feature musical tributes from high school students and speeches from members of the community. “We’re also going to be presenting Troop Box Ministries with care packages made by the students,” said Superintendent Bob F a r r e l l . “They’re going Anyone to sing and then we’ll be interested in p r e s e n t i n g speaking to them with the students on donations right Veterans Day on stage.” Students in should the Milford district raised contact the enough money school where through spare they would change drives to send the like to speak. packages of toiletries and snacks to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, Farrell said. “I think it’s good the students to recognize that as a community we truly respect and value our veterans,” said Milford High School Interim Principal Nancy House. “It’s an honor to be a part of a district that has made this a tradition and put it at the forefront to actively seek out veterans to honor.” The second part of the district’s plan to honor veterans will take place Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11. During the school day, veterans will visit classrooms in each of the district’s schools to talk to students about their experiences. “We’re inviting everyone from the community who wants to speak,” Farrell said. “The elementary schools will start the day with a small program and then the veterans will go to classes and speak for as long as they would like.” High school students who are considering joining the military could benefit the most from listening to the veterans and asking them questions, House said. “As a high school, we more than appreciate when our veterans come to talk to our students and share their stories and their unique perspectives,” she said. “Students can learn in many different ways and hearing it first hand is one of them.” The graduation ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, in the Milford High School auditorium, 1 Eagles Way. Anyone interested in speaking to students on Veterans Day should contact the school where they would like to speak. Phone numbers for those schools can be found at milfordschools.org.

The Sugar Cupcakery was decked out in holiday style for the filming of Cincinnati Bell’s new TV commercial.

Commercial taped in Milford By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

It seems like Christmas gets earlier every year, but the decorations at the Sugar Cupcakery Monday, Oct. 26, weren’t in preparation for Hometown Holidays. The shop, which opened at 32 Main St. in Milford about two months ago, was selected as the location for the filming of Cincinnati Bell’s new holiday commercial. Film crews brought decorations, cars to put on the street, snow and yes, Nick Lachey. “He was a gentleman and had lots of compliments for our store and the streetscape ... I told him we expected to see him back here in Milford,” said Cupcakery co-owner Krista Tevar. “(Lachey’s) sister-inlaw opened a cupcake shop in Los Angeles, so we talked to him a little about that.” The Sugar Cupcakery was chosen over locations in Hyde Park and Northside. Cincinnati Bell spokesperson Lisa McLaughlin said they were looking for a location that had a “modern feel, but was still cozy and comfortable.” “(The scouts) liked the Sugar

Minniear said Lachey was very nice and signed autographs for them. Cupcakery. It had all those attributes and it also looked out onto a picturesque setting,” McLaughlin said. “The owners were great to work with.” McLaughlin said Cincinnati Bell likes to keep it local because, while their phones can be used worldwide, they have been in the Cincinnati area for more than 130 years. Tevar, who owns the Sugar Cupcakery with her sister Karla

Jennings, said they were thrilled to have been selected. “We’re a brand new business and it was such an honor that they selected us. For us to get that type of feedback and appreciation for what we’ve done here was overwhelming,” Tevar said. “We are really proud that we were able to bring something like that to our community.” Crews started setting up equipment for filming early Monday morning and were on location throughout the day. “The whole place turned into a film studio. It was a wonderful experience and it was interesting to see how it all happens,” Tevar said. Tevar said the props, chairs and tables and, of course, cupcakes in the commercial all the Cupcakery’s. The film crews just added the holiday decor and actors. “I don’t know if our sign will be in the commercial or not, but it’s obviously our store,” Tevar said. “I’m just glad we could bring this publicity to Milford.” McLaughlin said the commercial is set to start airing in the first week of November.

Lykins honored with Pacesetter award By Mary Dannemiller mdannemiller@communitypress.com

When Jeff Lykins was told he was named the recipient of the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce Edward J. Parish Award, he was both humbled and surprised. The Edward J. Parish Pacesetter is an annual award given to someone who is an active member of the business community, performs service projects within the community and has held leadership positions in business and civic organizations. Recent winners include Cindy Jenkins Gramke, James McDonough and Andrew McCreanor. “I’m very humbled,” Lykins said. “The list of people who have won that award is comprised of people I look up to, especially with it being named after Edward J. Parish. I just can’t say enough how humbled I am by it.” Lykins is the third-generation president of Lykins Companies, a petroleum marketer based in Clermont County, which sells in 15 states. Clermont Northeastern school board member Cindy Huxel nominated Lykins because of his efforts to make Clermont County a better place, she said. “I’ve known Jeff for 11 years

Jeff Lykins has been named this year’s recipient of the Edward J. Parish Pacesetter, presented by the Clermont Chamber of Commerce. and he’s always been active in a variety of civic efforts,” she said. “He’s always supported everything he can, not only monetarily, but also in time and effort he puts in.” The award winner’s dedication to CASA for Clermont Kids! is especially noteworthy, Huxel said. “He has embraced CASA,” she said. “He hosts an annual golf outing to raise as much money as he can for that cause, which is just one of the many causes he supports. He doesn’t just sit on these boards, he actively participates in everything he does. He’s driving the car, not

sitting in the stands.” Lykins’ grandfather instilled in him the importance of community involvement at an early age, he said. “My grandfather always told me to support the community that you derive your income from and that’s what I’ve always tried to do,” he said. “It’s very important to me. I grew up in Clermont County, the company started in Clermont County and my entire family lives in Clermont County. This is our home and our roots run very deep here.” Though Lykins lives in Miami Township, his generosity reaches all corners of the county and even into neighboring counties, Huxel said. “He grew up in the area, but he’s not just concerned with his little circle or area,” she said. “He is interested in making sure that all of the surrounding communities are quality places to live. Some people focus just on their neighborhood, but he travels around. His children attend Milford schools, but he supports surrounding districts. He takes care of a broad spectrum of people.” Award winners will be honored at the Clermont Chamber Annual Pacesetter Awards Dinner at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, at Holiday Inn in Eastgate.

Heck to lead annual Miami Twp. Holiday Parade

Cash Bar

Kelly Farrell of Mt. Lookout prepares to glue something to her horse at the event’s arts and crafts station.

Christmas is still more than a month away, but it’s already time to mark your calendar for the Miami Township Holiday Parade.

Milford Junior High School earth science teacher Steve Heck, who was recently selected to go into space, will be the grand marshal of the Thursday, Nov. 19, parade. Residents are invited to

{That’s The Christ Hospital Imaging Center on Red Bank Road.}

set up lawn chairs along Ohio Business 28 to watch. The parade starts at 7 p.m. at Meijer and then proceeds down Ohio Business 28. “Some of the highlights are going to be the high school marching band, the Re/Max hot air balloon and of course, Santa will be there on his sleigh,” said Nancy Haines, event planner for the recreation department. “We chose Steve Heck as marshal because he is a local teacher who has made a big achievement with going into space.” The parade also will feature lighted floats by local churches, school groups and civic organizations, Haines said. The Miami Township police, fire, service and recreation departments all will be in the parade. “It’s at night, but everything is lighted,” Haines said. “We have people passing out candy and other give-aways too.” While the parade’s nighttime start and lighted floats are now what makes it

unique, Miami Township Trustee Mary Makley Wolff said she wasn’t sure how popular the parade would be when it started. “We didn’t know if a lot of people would come out in the cold and dark to watch a parade, but it is amazing how many people come out every year,” she said. “It’s a fun way to kick-off the holiday season and since its down our business corridor it’s also a nice way to highlight our businesses.” Both Wolff and Haines said the free parade has become a tradition with many families in the township. “It’s a great event that brings the family together every year,” Haines said. “It’s a great way to start a tradition and create some memories with your family.” Business 28 will close at 6:45 p.m. and remain closed until the parade is finished. For more information about the parade, call the Miami Township Recreation Department at 2483727.

Vietnamese school to be Milford partner By Mary Dannemiller

mdannemiller@communitypress.com

Milford High School students could soon be discussing American literature with students who live halfway around the world. The Milford board of education is working with the Global Spectrum Foundation to secure a partnership with Le Quy Don school in Quang Tri province, Vietnam. Board member Gary Knepp visited the school on a recent trip to Vietnam and was impressed by the students’ eagerness to learn about America. “We always talk about the importance of a global economy

and a global perspective and this is a great opportunity for that,” he said. “Anytime you can learn about the way other people think about and look at things, it gives you a wider perspective and I think Milford students can benefit from the Vietnamese people.” If the partnership moves forward, the Milford High School junior honors English class would work with a similar class at Le Quy Don. “Tim O’Brien’s book ‘The Things They Carry’ is on the reading list for Milford students and it’s about a United States service man’s experience in the Vietnam War so Milford students will be

reading about it from an American’s perspective,” Knepp said. “It would be helpful to hear from a Vietnamese perspective about the impact of the war.” Interim Principal Nancy House said she was excited about the possibility of Milford students and teachers connecting with those from another culture and that students would use the Internet to discuss classic American literature. “For our students to be able to hear a different perspective on works by Faulkner and Fitzgerald is going to be very educational and vice versa,” she said. “Overall, looking into the 21st century,

it’s very important for students to be able to work collaboratively with people from other cultures.” The school board already has approved the partnership and now the two schools are working out the logistics, Knepp said. “Right now both schools have expressed interest and we’re talking about what the scope of the project and what we would do with respect to the time difference and things like that,” he said. While Knepp was unsure what the partnership would cost the district, he said he expected it be minimal. “We have most of the technical abilities to be able to do this, but

we might need to purchase a Web cam or something minor like that,” he said. Despite the costs and the time difference, Knepp said it would be an invaluable experience for students. “I’m really excited about it,” he said. “I’ve been doing research on the Vietnam War in Clermont County for about six years now and I have seen through that experience the impact that war had on the American people and being able to talk with the Vietnamese does add a different perspective to things.”

Eagle soccer suffers one-goal losses

By Anthony Amorini

aamorini@communitypress.com

A pair of one-goal tournament losses brought the season to a screeching halt for Milford High School’s boys’ and girls’ soccer teams. However, the Lady Eagles captured several championships including the Fort Ancient Valley Conference Buckeye Division crown and a sectional title before being eliminated. It was the second-consecutive FAVC title for the Milford girls and the Lady Eagles’ third sectional title in the past five years. “A lot of our girls were back this year and they worked hard to make it happen,” Milford girls’ coach Pat Winkler said of the titles. Milford’s boys fell short of winning a Division I sectional title with its loss to Sycamore, 2-1, during the sectional finals Oct. 27.

“In the first half we dominated for 30-40 minutes and we had a lot of chances to score,” Milford boys’ coach Brian Croston said of the sectional finals. “But we made a mistake and (Sycamore) scored a nice goal (to take a 1-0 lead before halftime). “The second half was a little more balanced,” Croston said. Milford sophomore Joey Haberer netted a goal with roughly 16 minutes left in the game against Sycamore. The goal brought the score to 2-1 though that’s as close as the Eagles would get. “We were close (a couple of times) but not close enough,” Croston said of missed opportunities. The Lady Eagles’ season ended with a loss at the Division I District Championship finals Oct. 29 to Wayne High School, 5-4. “It was a gun fight and

(Wayne) scored in the first three minutes and we were playing from behind the whole game.” Junior Tori Calderhead netted a pair of goals for the Lady Eagles during the loss to Wayne. The Milford girls fell to 14-3 with the loss. C.G. Bryant contributed 38 points this fall for Milford including 16 goals and six assists to lead the FAVC Buckeye Division. Morgan Wolcott produced 24 points for the Lady Eagles including seven goals and 10 assists. Kelly Yee was close behind with 19 points for Milford including eight goals and three assists. “They are relentless workers,” Winkler said of

Bryant and Wolcott. Winkler also highlighted Calderhead, a junior defender, as a leader for the Lady Eagles. “(Calderhead) anchors our defense. We look to (Bryant, Wolcott and Calderhead) as our leaders on gameday.” Milford’s girls won its sectional title with a victory over Mason, 1-0, during the finals Oct. 26. The Lady Eagles finished No. 5 in Cincinnati with 54 points according to the Enquirer’s final Division I poll. Saint Ursula finished at No. 1 with 80 points followed by No. 2 Lakota West (69), No. 3 Mason (60) and No. 4 Ursuline (55). Lakota West, Mason and Ursuline all failed to win sectional titles. Saint Ursula is still in the Division I tournament with sectional and dis-

trict titles in tow. “We have some great, young talent in the program,” Winkler said while looking forward. “A lot of the girls are coming back.” Wolcott and Calderhead have won 30 games during the past two seasons. “We will rely on that experience,” Winkler said of his 30-game winners. As for the Milford boys, the Eagles finished No. 7 in Cincinnati with 20 points according to the Enquirer’s final Division I poll. Mason finished at No. 1 with 47 points followed by No. 2 Fairfield (43), No. 2 Sycamore (43), No. 4 Lakota West (33), No. 4 Loveland (33) and No. 6 Lakota East (25). “We have a lot of strong, young players,” Croston said while looking forward to next season. “I think we will be one of the best teams in the city for at least the next two years.” However, the Eagles lose a pair of All-City senior forwards including Connor Clark and Jeff Michael. Croston also highlighted seniors Joey Hammond (sweeper) and Bobby Thaxton (keeper) as graduating leaders. Milford’s boys were 12-51 this fall and took second place behind Loveland (114-3) in the FAVC Buckeye Division. Michael and Clark finished No. 1 and No. 2 in the FAVC Buckeye Division in regards to scoring. Michael led the league with 50 points including 21 goals and eight assists. Clark finished with 33 points including 12 goals and nine assists. Thaxton finished with eight shut-outs to rank fourth across all three divisions in the 18-team FAVC.

Goshen football moves on to playoffs Milford

By Adam Turer eastsports@communitypress.com

Two area teams ended their seasons with a loss Friday, Oct. 30, while the other ended its regular season with a win and will get to play again in week 11. Clermont Northeastern and Milford each finished the year with a loss to a conference rival. Goshen picked up an important win over West Carrollton to secure a playoff berth and a home playoff game. The Warriors host Springfield Shawnee Friday, Nov. 6.

Goshen

Players and coaches from both teams knew what was at stake when West Carrollton traveled to Goshen with both teams in the thick of the playoff hunt. Goshen earned the 2919 win and will host a Division III playoff game in the first round. West Carrollton, which also finished the regular season 8-2, still qualified for the Division II playoffs despite the loss. The Warriors locked up the top seed in Region 12 and will host Springfield Shawnee in the first round of the playoffs. The high stakes Hal-

Milford junior Nathan Termuhlen looks for room to run during the Eagles’ season finale against Loveland on Friday, Oct. 30. loween weekend matchup was a thriller. The teams traded touchdowns throughout the first half and the Warriors led 14-13 at halftime. The pressure was on, knowing a playoff berth was on the line. “We were a little tight, but we went out and played hard,” Goshen head coach Nick Inabnitt said. The Warriors rushed for 350 yards and did not turn the ball over. Goshen’s offense drove for 19 first downs. Jamie Ashcraft rushed for 140

yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries. David Prewitt added 25 carries for 110 yards and two scores. Marcus Casey rushed nine times for 45 yards. “Our offensive line did a great job,” Inabnitt said. “We controlled the clock in the first half.” The offenses both slowed in the second half and the halftime score held until the fourth quarter, when West Carrollton took its first lead of the game. The Warriors did not panic and responded with a 90-yard scoring drive to

regain the lead. “That was the drive of the game, probably the drive of the season,” Inabnitt said. “Our offensive line took over and we started playing Warrior football.” Ashcraft capped the drive with a 10-yard TD run. Casey’s two-point conversion run put the Warriors back on top, 22-19, with four minutes to play. All that stood between Goshen and a trip to the state playoffs was another stop by the defense. Sam McAnich made a huge play, intercepting a pass with just over three minutes to play. He returned the ball into West Carrollton territory and the Warriors’ offense added another touchdown to seal the win. Inabnitt summed up the excitement of the victory and what it means to the program, which has now won eight straight games: “The Warriors are playing at home next week!” Goshen hosts Springfield Shawnee at 7:30 p.m. in the first round of the Division III state playoffs on Friday, Nov. 6.

The Eagles lost to rival Loveland, 28-12, to finish the season 5-5. It was a one-game improvement on last year’s 4-6 mark, but still a disappointment after the Eagles started the season 4-1 for the second straight season. The Eagles ended the season by dropping four straight games, all against Fort Ancient Valley Conference opponents. Quarterback Frank Sullivan threw for two touchdown passes, including a 69-yard score to Nathan Termuhlen to cut the Tigers’ lead to 21-12 in the third quarter. The Eagles defense had no answer for Loveland quarterback Adam Engel, who rushed 27 times for 175 yards and two touchdowns.

CNE

The Rockets were shut out by Williamsburg, 24-0, to end the season 2-8. The Rockets’ defense kept them in the game in the first half and CNE trailed just 3-0 at halftime. Two touchdown runs of over 50 yards each by Williamsburg quarterback Marcus Barber put the game out of reach in the second half.

McNick volleyball wins sectional title

MARK CHALIFOUX/STAFF

McNick freshman Kayla Fritz plays the ball to a teammate in a tournament game against Bethel-Tate.

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.

Soldier asks for soccer balls for Iraqi children ping. There are no handling fees of any kind.” Operation Soccer Ball was started a few years ago by army Captain Daniel Meritt, who could see the joy in a child’s face when given a gift. Since that day, thousands of balls have been distributed. “It amazes me to see all the smiles and excitement when they get their soccer ball and run off to go and play,” Cpt. Merritt wrote in the OSB Web page blog. “Kids remember these things, just like we recall our first baseball mitt or bicycle. These types of events are forever burned into our memory and you can always look back and smile about that day.” Operation Soccer Ball creates great moments for the soldiers as well, as it helps the locals understand troops are safeguarding and patrolling the streets with the Iraqi police, said Merritt. “They tell their friends about how the Americans come around and bring hundreds of balls. This is a positive sign; we are a positive force.”

‘it’ factor,” he said. “It wasn’t always pretty but most games we found a way to win.” Ultimately, for Murphy, the biggest wins weren’t the ones on the court.

“What we’re doing is teaching the kids how to work within the framework of a team,” he said. “We’re teaching them life lessons. It’s not just about good volleyball.”

“I’ve got good news, and I’ve got bad news,” this, from the ophthalmologist. “The good news is that you will be able to smoke pot legally. The bad news is you have glaucoma.” Getting old is turning out to be an adventure fraught with danger. Glaucoma isn’t as bad as many of the things you can get, but it has an unpleasant ending - the trick is to delay the progression of the malady with medication so that the time line to end stage is longer than your life line, if you take my meaning. We commonly use this strategy in dealing with the vicissitudes of life as in “not in my lifetime,” or “I hope I don’t live to see that.” It’s the way of things. It’s not a strategy for success, it’s a strategy of coping with things that we either cannot control, or don’t wish to spend the effort to address. It’s not unlike electing a city council. You cast a vote and hope that everything will turn out all right. But occasionally it doesn’t, and you must decide if knavish and witless actions are dangerous to the city’s well-being and; if so, whether to tolerate them or do something dramatic to disrupt a process that has no good outcome in sight. I’m in that process right now - and many of you should be as well. There is to be a minor turnover in council personnel, but it remains to be seen if this is for good or for naught.

This is not a good omen for our property values. I hope that their foolish machinations don’t hurt us - at least not until I’ve got my medical marijuana. I’d share, but there’s too many of you, and besides, it would be wrong. Leonard Harding is a resident of Milford, where he has lived on and off since 1947.

GM government takeover hurts retirees What would you call an international company that treats some of its people like trash and others as part of their family? Would your thoughts lead you to believe this company was based in Mexico, China or another corrupt country that has little regard for humanity? Would you hesitate to chastise them for being unscrupulous and unfair? Would you do business with them knowing this inequity? Like treating one group with all the perks of the highest echelon of the business, and the other group as if they never worked for this company. The retirees are treated as differently as night and day. Some receive their pensions in full and others that worked side by side with those others get their pensions and benefits cut, by up to approximately 70 percent, like they were never part of the company making money for their owners and shareholders. Sound unreasonable and discriminatory? Well, guess who I am speaking of – the new General Motors and the old Delphi. And the government run GM decided the salaried retirees who worked for them for many years, sometimes 35 or more years, and were spun off from GM to Delphi with no questions asked, side by side with their union counterparts to make GM money to pay salaries and pen-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Milford High to honor veterans Nov. 8 I was 17 years old when a Navy recruiter approached me on Career Day in my high school in 1994. He informed me about how a military career could change my life in many ways, such as traveling the world, earning a good living and receiving scholarships for college. During our conversation I thought to myself, “I could have a lifelong vacation, a paycheck every month and be surrounded by attractive men in uniform.” I looked at the recruiter and said, “Are you kidding me? Sign me up.” I served four years in the U.S. Navy and during this time my only regret was not re-enlisting. But with life comes changes. I married my high school sweetheart, had a child and made a conscious choice to move back to Cincinnati to raise him. Since the end of my enlistment I have longed to join the Armed Forces once again. This longing stems from my experiences in the military that molded me into the person that I am today. The impact the military had on me was much more than money in my pocket and the chance to

Members of Cub Scout Pack 676 based out of Amelia get ready to take their place in line for the annual Clermont County Veterans Day Parade last year in Batavia.

The Batavia Township trustees will dedicate the township’s Veterans Memorial Plaza, on the property adjacent to the Batavia Township Community Center, at 1535 Clough Pike. The centerpiece of the memorial is a Humvee, which was donated by BAE Systems. “The Humvee has served as the main means of ground transportation in military conflicts for many years and is easily recognized as a symbol of freedom,” said township Administrator Rex Parsons. Parsons said the plaza also will include an American flag, flags and plaques representing each branch of the military, park benches and landscaping.

Great Scott diner new to Amelia By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

Name: Great Scott Diner Address: 106 E. Main St., Amelia Phone: 94-diner (9434637) Hours: Sunday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. to midnight. In the future, plans are to be open 24 hours. E-mail: greatscottdiner@zoomtown.co m Web site: www.greatscottdiner.com Owners: Scott Elsaesser and Laura Krauser

In these tough economic times, a trip back to the 1950s might be just what people are looking for. Owners of the recentlyopened Great Scott Diner in Amelia are hoping moderately-priced food and a classic 1950s look will attract customers. The restaurant is owned by Scott Elsaesser and Laura Krauser, who also operate another Great Scott restaurant at 1020 Ohio Pike in Withamsville. While the original restaurant is more of a casual neighborhood restaurant, the new restaurant emphasizes the diner concept. “We wanted to experiment with the diner concept, and this building

Extensive renovation was required to turn the building into a classic ‘50s style diner, Krauser said.

Some of the retro features include restored classic cars inside and outside, black and white tile floors, vinyl seating and a 1950s Crosley television playing 1950s commercials and cartoons. Krauser said she is not concerned about opening up

a new business in tough economic times. “People still want to go out to eat,” she said. She pointed out that during the Great Depression of the 1930s, diners grew and thrived while everything else was closing. Krauser said the new restaurant has done well in its first week of operation. “It has exceeded our expectations,” she said. And the new restaurant has not hurt business at the original Great Scott, she said. The diner menu features breakfast all day, hamburgers, fries, shakes, malts, floats and gourmet root beer. Krauser said an average meal would run about $8 a person.

The longing that never goes away you.” Admit it or not, there is a spiritual component of our nature. It is a longFather Lou ing for the Guntzelman transcenfor Perspectives dent, 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 Rut-

gers 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 longing is exclusively for this world and this world can completely satisfy. Ridiculous! A society that

where we belong.

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

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 in

Chilly weather outside means chili inside

I had to laugh when grandson Jack requested tilapia from Keegan’s Seafood for his fourth birthday’s dinner. It’s a small

shop in Mount Washington owned by Tom Keegan. Keegan’s a walking encyclopedia for seafood 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,

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.

Rita’s lower fat Fiddle Faddle clone

I developed this for the book “Sports Nutrition for Idiots.” Flaxseed is optional and the store-bought version doesn’t contain this.

4 cups popped corn 1 tablespoon flaxseed 1 cup caramel ice cream topping, heated in microwave Mix popcorn and flax. Pour topping over, stirring to coat as well as you can. Pour onto sprayed cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 250degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10

minutes. Makes 4 cups.

Fern’s Rita chili. For Heikenfeld P a m Rita’s kitchen Timme. “It was in the Enquirer long ago and I’ve lost it.” I’m wondering if it’s Fern Storer’s recipe. She was the Post food editor for years and a wonderful cook. 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.

Grange convention was a good one nie took a sled painted with Santa Claus. Linda took scrapbook pages and a Christmas stockGeorge ing. Rooks On the way we saw Ole field with a Fisherman aherd of buffalo and some big horned cattle. The trees were colored up fine. The Good Lord is the only one to paint a perfect picture. While we were eating at one of the banquets, a lady at our table held up her glass of water and said I have a lima bean in my water. Now that doesn’t happen often, but when everyone got a look, by golly there it was. The waiter took the glass of water and got another for her so everyone looked to see if there was another bean in it, but there was not. The youth have a table in the hall with several items folks have donated for them to raffle. Folks can buy tickets and put them in the bag, whichever item they wish, then the drawing took place at the youth luncheon Sunday. It seems three of our folks got their name drawn to get items: Mark, Maynard and Linda. They were the lucky ones, then Bonnie had bought a ticket for an afghan, which the deputies association had as a fundraiser, and they drew her name. Congratulations! Ruth Ann and I got home Sunday evening at 6 p.m. Last Monday, the health department was giving the H1N1 shots to the school students. The Bethel Lions Club had 11 Lions members plus two wives, helping with the paperwork. This was a service the Lions Club can do to help and the club is always willing to help. The health department will be at different schools and

this is wonderful. The community thanks the health department.

Start your week by going to the church of your choice and praise the Good Lord.

Howdy folks, Well, it’s been another busy week for the Ole Fisherman and wife. It seems things don’t slow much. I forgot last week to write about a couple folks who passed away. One was Bob Bruine, a wonderful person. His wife retired from the Bethel Building and Loan. They got to do lots of traveling and spent the winters in Florida. This feller will be missed by the community and by us. The other person was Bill Rippey. He was excited about his collection of Ford tractors and he had some beautiful ones. He always displayed them in the antique machinery show at Georgetown. We left last Wednesday for Cleveland to attend the Grange convention. The ride was good. The sun was shining and traffic was not bad. It took us 4.5 hours to make the trip. The truck was loaded. One of our members of Monroe Grange at Nicholsville had made 50 lunch bags for the service folks across the world. She mentioned this project to the ladies in her church and they took it on. They made 100 bags. The bags are decorated on the front, then have a Christmas ornament, a hand-written note or card and some hard candy in it. With the crafts the Junior Grangers made and the crafts for the adults, clothing and other items the truck inside was full. Then the three boxes of bags were put in the back of the truck. It is always good to have the crafts to take that the Grangers young and older make. The rooms at the convention where these are displayed are usually full. The delegates and deputies are always eager to see how the crafts scored. The Juniors get 16 awards. I will not tell who got what but each one got something. Ruth Ann took two photographs and one doily. Bon-

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.
