Roy Hotchkiss hears from people all the time who tell him they enjoy his column in the Price Hill Historical Society’s monthly newsletter. “A lot of people think the column is funny and they get a kick out of it,” said Hotchkiss, a Price Hill native who now lives in Delhi Township and serves on the board of the historical society. “People call and write me, or see me at the society’s meetings, and they tell me the column is what they enjoy most in our newsletter.” Those who aren’t members of the historical society or subscribe to its newsletter can now read the columns Hotchkiss has written for “The Old Curmudgeon’s Corner.” The historical society’s new partnership with Edgecliff Press has published its first project – “The Collected Old Curmudgeon.” Hotchkiss said the collection includes all of his columns, from the first one published in the society’s newsletter in November 1999 through the one he wrote for the society’s 19th anniversary newsletter this past June. He said the book contains about 120 of his columns. The book’s subtitle reads, “Almost Ten Years of Sometimes Enlightening, Sometimes Just Grumpy Essays from Price Hill’s Most Prolific Grouch.” “It’s neat to see them all together in one collection,” he said. Roy’s daughter, Julie Hotchkiss, who is also a member of the historical society, said it’s great her father’s musings have been published in a new book. “Most of the columns are funny and they are all well-written,” she said. “Several people have come up to him to let him know how much they enjoy his writing.
Price Hill Historical Society member Roy Hotchkiss recently had the columns he’s written for the historical society’s newsletter published in a new book, “The Collected Old Curmudgeon.”

He enjoys writing and people enjoy reading it, that’s what you need in order to have successful publishing.” Roy Hotchkiss said most of his ideas for his curmudgeon columns come from things he hears on television, things he hears on the street and things he sees on the Internet. “Anywhere something strikes me, I write a column about it,” he said. The 132-page book is $14.95 plus tax, and is available at the historical society’s Online bookstore at www.pricehill.org. “The Collected Old Curmudgeon” can also
be purchased from 1-4 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday at the historical society’s museum, 3640 Warsaw Ave. The curmudgeon himself will officially launch his new book at a book signing from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, at the Covedale Branch Library, 4980 Glenway Ave. Those interested will be able to buy a copy of the book and have it signed by Hotchkiss. Other book events are being planned. For more information, check the author’s Web site at www.royhotchkiss.com.
Homes opening for showcase By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Folks interested in buying a home may want to check out houses on the market in Price Hill. The neighborhood is participating in another open house, just in time to help first-time home buyers take advantage of federal tax credits set to expire in December. “Get it while it lasts,” said Matt Strauss, director of the Price Hill Housing Resource Center. Home buyers who have not owned homes in the last three years could receive up to $8,000 in federal income tax credits if they purchase a home before Dec. 1, he said. Strauss said reasonable prices and architectural richness make Price Hill a great place to look for that first home.
“There are a lot of great houses on display at great prices and low interest rates, but the tax credit makes buying soon particularly attractive for first-time home buyers. This is a terrific opportunity to see what’s available.”
Matt Strauss Director of the Price Hill Housing Resource Center
With that in mind, the housing resource center is hosting its third Price Hill Showcase of Homes, a community-wide open house of homes for sale, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13.
“We’re getting as many homes as possible for sale in Price Hill to have an open house at the same time so that those who are looking to buy a home keep their search confined to Price Hill,” Strauss said. He said he expects the showcase to feature close to 50 homes. The past two open house showcases each Strauss had more than 50 homes on display. Homes for sale in East, West and Lower Price Hill will be open for viewing. Single-family, twofamily and multi-family homes, as well as condominiums in many different price ranges will be included, he said.
“Of course, this is a great shopping opportunity for anybody looking for a house,” Strauss said. “There are a lot of great houses on display at great prices and low interest rates, but the tax credit makes buying soon particularly attractive for first-time home buyers. “This is a terrific opportunity to see what’s available,” he said. The day also will include refreshments, gift coupons and prizes, he said. A free map of showcased homes will be available starting at 10:30 a.m. the day of the showcase, at the housing resource center’s new location, 3724 St. Lawrence Ave. For more information, contact Strauss at 251-3800, extension 105 or matt@pricehillwill.org.

Harvest Home tradition continues kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Cleves resident Trisha Hubbard rides into the rink with an American flag to start off the horse show at last year’s Harvest Home Fair.
Pete Minges said the three days of sweat and hard work the members of the Kiwanis Club of Cheviot-Westwood put in at the Harvest Home Fair are more than worth it. “Everybody comes together to work as a group to give back to the community,” said Minges, a Green Township resident and Kiwanis Club member who is serving his second year as chairman of the annual fair in Cheviot. “Everybody pitches in, and you just try to do your part.” This year’s tradition is no different. All the money the Kiwanis Club raises at the Harvest Home Fair goes directly back to the community in the form of scholarships, building projects and charitable giving. Throughout the years, proceeds from the fair have helped women’s shelters, area schools, Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, local parks and recreation fields, and Minges said he’ll always remember the year the club gave more than $30,000 to Margaret B.
Rost School to build a multisensory room for children with physical disabilities. This year’s fair kicks off at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10, with the annual Harvest Home Parade. And although the fair, which runs Thursday, Sept. 10, through Sunday, Sept. 13, marks its 150th anniversary this year, the theme is “Green Township – 200 Years Old,” Minges said. “We’re not doing anything special to commemorate the 150th year of the fair because it’s Green Township’s 200th anniversary this year, so we’re concentrating on that,” he said. While the fair will include all the traditional attractions west-siders have come to love, such as the livestock exhibits, art show, horse show, rides and stage shows, he said this year’s event will also feature a few new additions. He said the Stray Animal Adoption Program is sponsoring a dog walk in conjunction with the annual 5K walk at 9 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 13, and people looking for a new pet will be able to adopt animals throughout the weekend. Minges said fair organizers hope to draw large crowds with its Friday night concert, when local favorite The Rusty Griswolds take the stage at 7 p.m. Fair-goers always enjoy the food, and this year in addition to the brats, metts, fries and other traditional provisions, will be Sandy’s Hi-Lo burgers. “If you’re a west-sider, you know that name,” Minges said. As a life-long resident of the west side who marched in the parade when he was in grade school, he said Harvest Home is a tradition he’s participated in since he was a child. “The fair is just a westside institution,” he said. “It’s been around long before I was here, and it will probably still be around long after I’m gone.”

Doug Ridenour examines the brazing weld to repair the bronze eagle he bought as part of a memorial garden at Delhi Middle School for his daughter, Kelli. The eagle, stolen last week, is being repaired at Ridenour’s River Road business.
Eagle coming back to memorial garden By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
The 185-pound bronze eagle should be back on its rightful perch Sept. 19. Doug Ridenour, who bought the eagle to be part of a memorial garden honoring his daughter at Delhi Middle School, said he plans to have it completely refurbished by then. Ridenour’s daughter, Kelli, and her friend and fellow classmate, Anna DeStefano, were killed in a car crash on the last day of school in 2000. The eagle was stolen from the memorial garden where it sat among flowers and benches and reminders of other students and staff. Ridenour said he has made sure the garden has been maintained since it was designed in 2001. “A lot of work and donations from the school and community went into the garden,” he said. The garden also features a fountain that recently needed repairs. “We plan to have the fountain back on and the eagle back, plus do some work in the garden, on Sept. 19,” he said. It will be a project by community volunteers.

Ridenour said he’s happy now that the eagle has been recovered by Delhi Township police and is back in his possession. The Green Township man repaired the eagle at his River Road business. It required welding and Ridenour said he planned to give it a pressure watch before returning it to the school garden. The theft occurred at about 4 a.m. Aug. 29. Police have a suspect they plan to charge with theft. Lt. Joe Macaluso said the charges are pending due to the adult male currently being in an out-ofstate hospital. Macaluso said police have questioned the man and he has admitted taking the statue. While police have not disclosed why the man took the eagle; they did say it was not to sell or cut up for scrap money. After sawing the eagle off at the base of the statue, the man used a wheel barrow to get it to his Anderson Ferry Road home. He avoided being seen by using back yards, police said. “He appears to be apologetic and said he was unaware it was a tribute to students,” Macaluso said. Police recovered the eagle following a tip from a member of the man’s family.

Elder naming Pit after former coach During half-time of the Elder game on Friday, Sept. 11, Elder’s football field will be officially named the Walter J. Bartlett Field. Bartlett coached almost 1,000 games at Elder from 1927 to 1953. Bartlett started his teaching and coaching career at Elder in 1924. Although Bart, as he preferred to be called, was extremely versatile as a teacher – Spanish, English, civics and
physical education – his true status as an Elder legend was due to his amazing coaching career. Bart was the head coach for football, basketball and baseball for all or part of four decades until a heart attack sidelined him during the 1953 basketball season. Bartlett’s uncompromising integrity set the standard for Elder’s athletic program as well as strongly influencing the school’s
overall educational program. He believed in hard work, honesty, determination and rules. Elder’s motto, the Latin word, Altiora (to strive for the higher things), describes Bartlett and the philosophy he instilled in his students and players. In October, 2008 a committee of “Bart’s Boys� gathered to consider a tribute to their beloved coach. The members included Don
Ruberg, Rev. Erwin Bertke, Charles “Bud� Kneflin, John “Mike� Kunnen, Giles Langenbrunner, John Murphy and the late Dr. Ralph Richter. School officials readily embraced the committee’s suggestion to name the football field in Coach Bartlett’s honor. The lessons he taught his charges laid the foundation for one of Cincinnati’s most celebrated and endur-
Delhi veterans seeking names, donations By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
The Delhi Township Veterans Association has only 39 spaces open for names to be added to the Wall of Honor for 2010. That’s after 117 names will be added to the wall this year, according to association Secretary Jeff Lefler. The Wall of Honor monument is in the Delhi Veterans Memorial Park, 634 Neeb Road. “The names will be engraved for our Veterans Day Ceremony on Sunday, Nov. 8,� he said. “This will bring the total to 1,869 veteran names engraved from all the major wars and conflicts from the American Revolution to the present Iraq and Afghanistan.� Lefler said the association has 10 names for next year’s list and space is at a premium. “An additional wall is desperately needed,� he said. “The DTVA has tentative plans for an additional sixth wall that will hold 248 veteran names. It will cost around $12,000 which we are trying to raise through fundraisers, split-the-pot raffles and other events.
“We rely strictly on donations for support and do not charge for engraving names.� Delhi Township veterans from past and present can apply to next year’s list to be engraved by going to the Web site at www.delhiveterans.com or call 471-8693. The association also has two new mailing addresses: Delhi Township Veterans Association, PO Box 389202, Cincinnati 452389202; or, Delhi Township Veterans Association, c/o Bob Burke or c/o Treasurer, PO Box 389202, Cincinnati, 45238-9202 “When we first started this project,� Lefler said, “our design plans only called for three five by seven walls and those walls were to last us years. “Now, after only two years, we have five walls and in desperate need of a sixth. The success and pride of this for Delhi Township has been extraordinary.� To qualify, a veteran must have been a Delhi Township resident for at least one year during their lifetime; served active duty, show proof of service and complete the necessary form.

County board to review Mercy proposal By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Next meeting
The Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners will have the next say in whether Mercy Health Partners’ plans to develop a new hospital in Green Township should move forward. At a meeting Thursday, Aug. 20, the Hamilton County Rural Zoning Commission voted 5-0 in favor of the proposal to rezone the 70-acre site to planned office for a new hospital and medical office complex off North Bend and Boomer roads near Interstate 74. The zoning commission’s approval follows unanimous votes in favor of the project by the Green Township Board of Trustees and the Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission. The county commissioners are scheduled to review
The Hamilton County Commissioners are scheduled to review the proposal to rezone the 70-acre site to planned office for a new hospital and medical office complex off North Bend and Boomer roads near Interstate 74 at a public hearing at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16, at the commissioners meeting room, 138 E. Court St., Room 603. the project at a public hearing at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16. Bryan Snyder, development services administrator for the Hamilton County Planning and Zoning Department, said the commissioners do not typically vote on issues the same day as the public hearing. He said the commissioners will likely vote on the project at their meeting Wednesday, Sept. 23.
Concept plans for the $200 million hospital development include a cluster of medical offices on the western portion of the site, a two-acre buffer between the offices and St. Ignatius, 100 to 450 feet of buffering along most of the site’s southern border and an up to six-story hospital on the eastern edge of the property. The section of Boomer Road adjacent to St. Ignatius would be rerouted south and west, and become a hospital access road. The old road would then become a private drive for St. Ignatius. Mercy plans to use the centrally-located site in Green Township as the hub for efforts to expand access to acute care, primary care and a variety of outpatient services for residents on the west side and in western Hamilton County. Kleeman Road resident Mark Broering Sr., cofounder of the Concerned
Citizens in Opposition to the Proposed Mercy Hospital Site, has said the group will continue fighting the development. Broering said the opposition group will look to put the issue on the ballot as a referendum if needed. If the county commissioners support the project the opposition group will have 30 days to collect signatures and submit a petition for a referendum. The issue cannot be placed on this November’s ballot since the filing deadline has already passed, but a referendum could be placed on the May 2010 ballot. “We can only hope that the Hamilton County Commissioners will respond to the overwhelming majority of community members, and not be swayed by the misleading rhetoric of groups willing to change the face of an already successful community against their will,� Broering said.

Oak Hills’ new chief impressed By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Oak Hills Local School District Superintendent Todd Yohey said he is blessed to have been welcomed so kindly as the district’s new leader. “I have met hundreds of stakeholders over the past few months and each encounter has been positive,” said Yohey, who officially took over as the district’s new superintendent Aug. 1. “Almost everyone I have met has a good news story about Oak Hills. Stakeholders are truly proud of our district and it is contagious.” The Oak Hills Board of Education voted unanimously in June to hire Yohey as the district’s new superintendent. He was the superintendent of Ross Local School District prior to being named the replacement for Patricia Brenneman, who retired in January after serving as Oak Hills’ superintendent for 15 years.

Oak Hills budget shows fiscal stability By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Oak Hills Local School District Treasurer Ronda Johnson said the district’s budget for fiscal year 2010 shows Oak Hills’ commitment to being stewards of the taxpayers’ money. The Oak Hills Board of Education met in early August, along with the Oak Hills Finance Committee, to review the district’s budget for 2009-2010. Johnson said the group reviewed revenue projections for the general operating and permanent improvement funds. She said the general fund is estimated to see a 4.7 percent increase in revenue, with projections totaling $65.6 million. The permanent improvement fund revenue is projected at $5.9 million, she said. “Estimated expenditures were also reviewed by the board and finance committee,” Johnson said. “In all school districts the bulk of expenditures are allocated toward salaries and benefits.” She said for fiscal year 2010, about 80 percent of the budget is appropriated for all personnel services, including teachers, bus drivers, custodians and administrators, which totals about $56 million for nearly 1,000 employees. She said overall expenditures in the district are projected to increase 2.6 percent. “This budget clearly represents the district’s continued commitment to stewardship and financial stability, but most importantly, the continued commitment to excel-
lence in education,” she said. Oak Hills purchases textbooks on a fiveyear replacement cycle, and the content area for 2010 is lanJohnson guage arts. Johnson said about $855,000 is appropriated for new language arts curriculum materials. The district also has appropriated $1.5 million for the study and replacement of high school technology, she said. “Engagement sessions will be held later in the school year with parents, staff and students before a recommendation for technology implementation will be made for the high school,” she said. Last year, Oak Hills spent $1.3 million for middle school technology improvements. Johnson said the district also replaces school buses on a cycle, and $250,000 is budgeted for the replacement of four buses. The district received a grant providing $18,000 toward each bus, she said. Todd Yohey, Oak Hills’ new superintendent, began his first day on the job with a review of the 2009-2010 budget. “In facing these tough economic times with the reductions and changes to state funding for public schools, taxpayers in the Oak Hills Local School District should feel very secure in knowing that they have placed their district in a position of financial stability,” Yohey said.

Mercy welcomes school’s first president By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Kirsten MacDougal said she knew Mother of Mercy High School would be the perfect fit for her. Mercy’s board of trustees and administrators thought so too. MacDougal has been selected as the first president in the history of the school. She officially began her duties Tuesday, Sept. 1, after a special morning assembly in which she was introduced to students and staff. “I felt so blessed and welcomed immediately,” said MacDougal, who has spent the past five years serving as the marketing and communications director at Archbishop Alter High School in Dayton. “It’s very exciting for me

She worked in the business world in sales, marketing, management and finance for several years before she accepted the
position at Alter High School. She said her educational background at a Catholic college and her experiences in finance, as well as her role at Alter, sparked her interest in a presidential position at a Catholic school. “I realized Catholic education is where I want to stay,” MacDougal said. “When I heard Mercy was looking for a president I thought it would be the perfect position. This place has felt like the perfect arrival for me.” Mercy’s spokeswoman Lisa Fluegeman said the school enthusiastically welcomes MacDougal as its first president. “During this past year the board of trustees and administration went through a comprehensive

MacDougal said her main areas of focus will be fundraising, recruitment, public relations, facility management and finances. “One of my first goals is to get the word out about how exceptional this school is,” she said. “It’s an incredible school, a place where all these young ladies are making all these amazing achievements.” She said 100 percent of last year’s graduates are now enrolled in college, and together they earned $7.4 million in scholarships. “I’m not here to fix anything. I’m here to promote all of it,” she said.

Elder downs Colerain on ESPN By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
Elder did what Elder does. It welcomed an opponent into The Pit, and then it promptly took care of business. More than 10,000 people were on hand as the Elder High School football team defeated Colerain High School 20-7 Sept. 6. The game was aired live on ESPN. “We were really good on defense; our guys took some criticism last week,” head coach Doug Ramsey said, referring to the four touchdowns his team gave up in a 49-28 win over East St. Louis Aug. 29. “But our defense today was outstanding. That’s a good football team we just played.” Elder trailed 7-3 late in the second quarter, but senior quarterback Mark Miller connected with Selby Chidemo for a 10-yard touchdown strike with 20 seconds remaining before halftime. “That really changed the momentum,” Ramsey said. Unfortunately for Colerain, Elder never gave it back. Junior Ben Coffaro opened the third quarter with a 53-yard kickoff return, which put Elder at the Colerain 45-yard line. A few plays later, senior Tim O’Conner hauled in a 29-yard touchdown pass to give his team a 17-7 lead. The Panthers’ defense took it from there.

Elder High School senior wide receiver Selby Chidemo absorbs a tough hit from Colerain High School senior Jovonta Harrison. Chidemo managed to hang on to the football, break the tackle and pick up some more yardage. Ramsey was particularly impressed with the play of Mark Miller, who was 19-for-27 passing for 225 yards and two touchdowns. “He struggled a bit early and came back and made some big plays,” Ramsey said. “He just went out and did what he had to do.” Colerain, meanwhile, fell to 0-2 after back-to-back losses to GCL South opponents and is now in danger of missing the playoffs. St. Xavier defeated Colerain 16-0 at Nippert Stadium Aug. 28. Helping Elder on Sunday was its “12th Man” – The Pit, which was as raucous as ever. “For a high school football game – with all the purple and all the red – this was an unbelievable day,” Ramsey said. The Panthers, however, don’t have much time to relax; they host Louisville Trinity Sept. 11 before opening league play at La Salle Sept. 18.
“I’m very pleased with where we are at this point in the season,” Ramsey said.
Taylor 20, Dayton 16
The Yellow Jackets (2-0) have already equaled their win total from a year ago when they finished 2-8. Taylor notched its second win with the help of Cameron Youngblood, who rushed for 179 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Senior John Greene added a seven-yard touchdown run to put his team up 20-0, as Taylor withstood Dayton’s 16-point, fourthquarter rally. Taylor hosts Cincinnati Country Day (2-0) Sept. 11.

The Fighting Owls squandered a 10-0 lead in the fourth quarter only to win in overtime. Mount Healthy senior Mark Cornist had an eight-yard touchdown run in the extra session to give his team a 17-10 lead. A five-yard touchdown run by West High senior running back Jimmy Knight made the score 1716, but the Mustangs’ two-point conversion failed. West High erased a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit in a matter of seconds, recording a safety and then getting a 55-yard touchdown return by senior Dominique Williams on the ensuing kickoff. Mount Healthy (1-1) hosts Aiken (0-2) Sept. 11, while the Mustangs (0-2) host Central Sept. 12.
La Salle 44, Covington Catholic 35
The Lancers (2-0) trailed 14-0 in the first quarter before reeling off 23 unanswered points in a 4435 win. La Salle senior running back Zach Abbatiello led the way with 15 rushes for 103 yards and three touchdowns. Junior quarterback Drew Kummer, meanwhile, was 14-for-25 passing for 158 yards and one touchdown; he also ran for another. The Lancers host Lakota East (0-2) Sept. 11.
Oak Hills’ Taske sinks 14 pars in a row By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com
Grouped with Ohio’s 2008 Division I state champion, Oak Hills High School senior Andrew Taske shot one of the best rounds of his career during the first week of the fall season. Taske sunk 14-consecutive pars Wednesday, Aug. 12, while competing at the Fairfield Invitational to finish second at the event with a score of 70. A total of 144 golfers competed in the tournament as Taske bested 142 of them. Shooting a 69 at Fairfield, Lakota East’s Matthew Sorrows took first place at the event. Both Sorrows and Lakota West’s Korey Ward, Ohio’s 2008 Division I champion, were grouped with Taske. “It was a shotgun start but I got lucky. I teed off on the first hole and that’s always nice,” Taske said of his second-place 70. “We had a really good group and that made a big difference.” Taske’s streak of 14-consecutive pars was a new record for the Highlander senior, he said. “It’s easy to score when you do that. It was definitely a first for me,” Taske said with a laugh. Behind Taske’s strong play, Oak Hills took fifth place at Fairfield in a field of 24 teams. The Highlanders started its sea-
son with a trio of quality performances at tournaments. Oak Hills took fourth place in a field of 16 teams at the Princeton Invitational on Tuesday, Aug. 11. At the 20-team Middletown Invitational Saturday, Aug. 29, Oak Hills finished in seventh place. Highlander senior Keith Bunke led the way at Middletown as he shot a 78 to finish in seventh place competing against 120 golfers. “Our entire varsity team is very dedicated,” Oak Hills head coach Tom Baldwin said of his seniorladen roster. All seven players on Oak Hills’ varsity team are seniors. In regards to match play, Oak Hills opened the season at 2-0 with a pair of wins. The Highlanders posted a score of 330 at the trimatch to best Harrison (337 strokes) and Colerain (338 strokes). But at a quad-match Wednesday, Sept. 2, the Highlanders suffered three losses while falling to 23 overall. Oak Hills shot a 177 at the fourway match while falling to Lakota East (161), La Salle (163) and Mason (165). “I think all of our guys can shoot in the 70s on any day and we have a lot of experience,” Taske said of his optimism about the Highlanders’ program.

Bayley Place expands services to residents hfallon@communitypress.com
A place to eat lunch, drop off a prescription or find a reliable repairman are all new services being offered to Delhi Township residents at Bayley Place. Perk on the Pike began serving up its menu of sandwiches, salads and quiche last week. Owner Julie Neumann said opening the Bayley Place cafe was “a good fit for us and Bayley Place.” The new lunch spot is in addition to the original Perk at 4800 Delhi Road. The cafe is open from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Just across the dining area from the cafe is the new Bernens mini-pharmacy. The Price Hill pharmacy is offering a variety of over-the-counter products along with prescription drop-off service. “This is a great opportu-

It, too, opened last week and will be offering flu shots Sept. 21-Oct. 2 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Trustees approve parking ban hfallon@communitypress.com
Cassandra Court residents will be seeing no parking signs soon. Trustees voted Aug. 26 to ban parking on the west side of the cul-de-sac and post a no parking sign at a fire hydrant. The street was deemed too narrow to allow fire and emergency equipment to navigate if vehicles were parked on both sides. Public Works Director Bob Bass said when the street was built, the standard width was 23 feet. “It’s our policy to limit parking when the street is less than 28 feet wide,” Bass said. While several residents had objected to the parking ban at a July trustee meeting, no one spoke for or against the ban before trustees made their decision. Carol Jackson said she
favored the limited parking for safety reasons. Fire Chief Bill Zoz tried but was unable to take a
fire truck down the street with vehicles parked parallel to one another. It will be at least a

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
No money for county
The Aug. 12 edition of the Delhi Press announced that Trustees Jerry Luebbers and Mike Davis were calling for a spending freeze in the 2010 budget. I commend them for looking ahead to protect taxpayers from higher taxes predicted for 2011 by Trustee Al Duebber at the same meeting. One more money saving idea I would suggest for Al Duebber and Mike Davis is to pull back on the Delhi Pike project. To hand-over $250,000 of Delhi Township taxpayer money to Hamilton County, which has been considered a mistake by the Delhi Township Fiscal Officer and the Delhi Township Financial Advisory Board, to fix a county road is a bad idea, especially in this economy. This precedent setting giveaway of taxpayer money would certainly lead to higher taxes to fix township roads. You can be sure Hamilton County won’t return the $250,000 or even a portion of that amount, when Delhi would ever be in need of construction funding assistance. Terry Doherty Delhi trustee candidate Bob Drive Delhi Township
Firehouse good neighbor
I fully respect (B.J.) Haussler’s right to not want firemen and a firehouse for a neighbor. However, I can’t think of better neighbors to have. My wife and I live very close to the Neeb Road facility. I would estimate that 75 percent or more of the runs from the firehouse are silent, i.e. no sirens. I have jokingly told the firefighters and paramedics that if my address pops up for an emergency run, just grab a medical bag and a hose and jump over the wall. I consider having them so close a tremendous asset. Also, they are much better neighbors than many of the Delhi properties sitting vacant and in various states of disrepair. Give me the “hometown heroes” anytime. Bob Norris Fourson Drive Delhi Township
Kudos for Floral Paradise
I wanted to comment on the beautiful job done at the Floral Paradise in Delhi. Recently I walked through it and found it very nicely laid out and well kept. Kudos to those who put in the many countless hours in keeping up this beautiful “paradise.” If you haven’t walked through
it, I suggest you take time and visit. Tessie Reisert Plover Lane Delhi Township
Congratulations to Delhi businesses
On behalf of the 130 members of the Delhi Business Association, I would like to congratulate the winners of the Readers’ Choice poll sponsored by the Delhi Press. Many of these businesses are locally owned and have been members of the Delhi community for years and years. We appreciate their commitment to our community. Thanks also to all of your readers who support our local businesses. Delhi is truly a great place to live – and work!

Tel the story
No wonder Steve Driehaus and Sherrod Brown don’t tell the whole story. We are against your government health plan, socialized medicine or whatever you are calling it this week. You are not telling the whole truth about the plan,
not using accurate figures, and you just tell the public what you want them to hear. Sorry guys but more people are becoming better informed. 1. There will be 1.0 to 1.5 trillion dollars future cost to taxpayers. (No new taxes, I wonder where?) 2. Fines for doctors not following the governments rules 3. Destroying any health care we currently have by taxing them out of business and then saying we have a choice. How dumb do you think we are? 4. Giving 10 million illegal aliens free care. 5. How many other countries have government care and ours is still the best. 6. Congress will have their own care. (They don’t even want it ) 7. Higher tax on over the counter drugs. 8. If you want better care, you will not even be permitted to pay for it. 9. We have seen how our congressmen hide when it comes to answering questions in public meetings. Little to no notice, limited area, limited parking, and limited or select invitations. You can run, but you cannot hide. 10. How many people don’t want to spend their money on health care? So you want us to pay for them.

Fernbank once named Lee Park Autumn safety
Lee Park was named for Thomas Lee. It is located on the river bank in front of the old Home City Village. The name has been changed to Fernbank Park and a shelter house in Lee Park is all that is currently named for Thomas Lee. The Lee house sits across from Fernbank Park at 6702 River Road. Minton Sayler donated the park with deed restrictions that return the park land to the Sayler family if it is every used for anything but a park. Sayler asked that the park be named for Thomas Lee because he finished the work Nelson Sayler started in saving the park for the village. The Sayler and Lee families were good friends. They lived next to each other before Nelson Sayler built the Forest of Arden. Thomas Lee lived at 6702 River Road and Nelson at the old Delamater homestead (where the three sisters houses are today) 6670, 6672, and 6678 River Road. Thomas Lee was born in 1852. His Irish immigrant parents, Patrick and Julia Lee were originally from New York. His father was a contractor that built country roads and highways. At age 13, Thomas apprenticed himself in a metalworking shop. In 1879 the 27-year-old started his own business manufacturing skylights
and ventilators at 57 Race St. His factory moved to 128130 Second St. and took up 19,000 square feet on both sides of the Betty Kamuf street. He Community employed 40 and Press guest people manufactured columnist sheet metal products and windows. Thomas Lee developed 40 patens of processes for manufacturing that were used all over the United States. In 1871 Thomas married Wilhelmina Brockman, the daughter of Henry Brockman a Cincinnati grocer. They came to Home City in the 1890s, and lived at 6702 Commercial St. (now River Road) and had seven living children. The oldest Matilda married to John C. Magness from Sayler Park. He was a traveling freight agent and the son of Charles Magness builder of Home City. Nellie disappeared from the census rolls about 1890. Walter attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology and became a famous Cincinnati architect. After graduation he worked for Samuel Hannaford for five years and then went into
CH@TROOM Last week’s question: What do you think is the enduring legacy of Ted Kennedy? “Ted Kennedy’s enduring legacy is his total support for abortion on demand and efforts to block any kind of restrictions on it – a sad legacy, to be sure.” D.H. “In my opinion, and many others, judging by all I’ve spoken to, Ted Kennedy’s enduring legacy will not be a good one. Kennedy’s escapades in younger
years were whitewashed by the media. His father’s influence was responsible for everything he achieved. His family paid off anyone they needed to shut them up. He was known by all around him to be a loud-mouthed alcoholic. And, contrary to what the media and his liberal party cohorts would have us believe, his Senate career was mediocre, at best!” J.R. “I hate to talk bad about the dead but I think he really messed up his life by the drinking he did,

They lived for a time at 6678 Commercial Avenue and eventually moved to a house he designed at built a house at 7103 Fernbank Avenue. Robert E. worked for his father and was in charge of the window business. He married Mary, and they lived 140 Independence. Julie graduated from Notre Dame University and married A. H. Applegate. He was a bookkeeper for her father. They lived at 6674 Commercial Ave. Irene married Harry Lambert, a patternmaker at the pipe foundry. They lived at 6088 Commercial Ave. Elsie married George Hand a wholesale lumberman from New York, and lived at 6684 Commercial Avenue. The youngest Willa is a mystery. She attended Columbia University, but I don’t know what happened to her after that. If you know any more about any of the Lee family let me know.

for your pet
Fall is just around the corner. As you prepare for cooler temperatures, there are a few safety concerns to keep in mind for your pet.
Antifreeze
Every year, about 10,000 dogs and cats are accidentally poisoned by automobile antifreeze. Most antifreeze contains a high percentage of ethylene glycol, an extremely toxic chemical. Even a few licks of this sweettasting liquid can be fatal to a cat or dog. For a medium-sized dog, ingestion of about 3 to 4 tablespoons is toxic. For cats, as little as 1 teaspoon can be fatal. Make sure antifreeze containers are well secured and thoroughly clean any spills.
Rodenticides
Rodenticides that kill the rodents trying to get into your house will also kill your pet. There are no safe rodenticides. Pets will consume these products. If you must use rodenticides, put them in places inaccessible to pets and children. Keep a record of the product used and in case of accidental poisoning, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Fleas
Spring and fall are when the deer tick numbers are at their peak. Remember that as temperatures become cooler, fleas are looking for a warm host and that host could be your pet. Continue to use your flea and tick control products through the first hard frost to adequately protect your pet.
Lawn care
Accidental ingestion of herbicides, pesticides and fertilizer can make your pet very ill. When preparing your lawn for winter, be sure to use pet-friendly weed killers and fertilizers.

ened or agitated by the unaccustomed sights and sounds of costumed visitors. Make sure your pet has a warm, safe place to rest on HalDiane loween night. Frequently Zdelar-Bush opened doors Community provide a perfect Press guest opportunity for columnist escape, which can go unnoticed during all the commotion. Be sure all pets are wearing collars and ID tags in case of an accidental getaway. All those sweets may taste great to critters, but candy, especially chocolate, can be deadly. Chocolate contains theobromine, a compound in the same family as caffeine. Always seek your veterinarian’s advice when any quantity of chocolate has been ingested by your pets. Candy wrappers are also very enticing for pets. The smell, the glitter and the taste! Pets can ingest wrappers, munch on decorations and leftover lollipop sticks, and develop an intestinal blockage. Did you know? Cats have a sense of smell about 14 times stronger than humans. A dog’s sense of smell is roughly 100 times stronger than that of humans. But cats have 473 taste buds, dogs have 1,700, and humans have 9,000 - 10,000 taste buds!

Playing hide-and-seek, but not really seeking Hiding strong personal elements from ourselves is usually futile. They keep trying to get our attention. They express themselves through symptoms such as anxiety, stomach trouble, insomnia, headaches, irritation or depression. ity; bury conflict and we bury peace of mind. Symptoms of hidden and scary feelings tap on the walls of our minds and bodies as if to say, “You can’t lead a full life unless you deal with me and achieve a certain understanding of me as part of your life.” Those of us who have been abused or neglected, bruised or wounded by significant others, must come face to face with our pain and the truth about the whole situation. Understanding the truth will help set us free. It’s difficult for us, but doing so begins healing and integration. Often, facing what we’ve kept hidden is best accomplished with the assistance of a competent professional counselor. One example of the hidden being revealed occurred when I was pastor and a young woman made an appointment. During it she denounced her current boyfriend and his interest in sex. She showed me newspaper articles confirming her belief that our culture is too permissive and men are the villains causing it all. She wanted me to write about it and preach about it to my parishioners. It was her growing intensity, her insistence and
deepening rage that led me to suspect there was much more to her concerns. After a long period of listening, I asked her gently, “Would you be willing to tell me what happened to you? Did someone hurt you or frighten you?” What followed was a profound change in her behavior. She stared into space in silence. Then, with contorted face, an angry snarl in her voice, she whispered, “I was raped when I was 18, and by damn, no man will ever have that power over me again!” With some relief, she said she had hidden and denied that fact for years. She tried – and for a while it worked – to consider that trauma as just a nightmare. She never wondered why she was not able “to find the right guy” with whom to consider marriage. Her
repressed fear of sex and anger at men were affecting her life tremendously. From that point on she was willing to confer with a psychologist and work through the brutal disrespect forced on her by her attacker.A healthier life was ahead for her.
She proved more courageous than most people are wont to be in facing what’s hidden inside. Too many of us fulfill Camus’ claim that most humans live in hiding from themselves. 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.

Why hide certain experiences or realities of our life? We fear it would be too difficult or frightening dealing with them. We prefer, as Kierkegaard puts it, to tranquilize ourselves with the trivial. Hiding strong personal elements from ourselves is usually futile. They keep trying to get our attention. They express themselves through symptoms such as anxiety, stomach trouble, insomnia, headaches, irritation or depression. True, some depression comes from chemical imbalances and must be treated with medication. But another kind of depression can be caused by pushing down and away i.e. depressing, unwelcome feelings. One of the strange things about our feelings is, however, that we can’t just bury the unpleasant ones and keep the pleasant ones. They’re all intertwined.

It’s all a piece of pie this week powdered milk. Now most transparent pies call for cream or milk so I have no idea how true the powdered milk theory is, but it’s plausible for sure when baking in large amounts. The ingredients in this pie are similar but not exactly like Hoosier, chess and vinegar pies. Anyway, I ran into Nick Clooney last year when we were both on Fox 19’s morning show. Nick said he
thought his brother had a recipe similar to McGee’s. Nick and I lost touch so I never did get the recipe in my hot little hands. The recipe I’m sharing is so delicious and almost dead-on McGee’s – and as close as I’m ever going to get to it. Jimmy’s pie, on the other hand, was a cinch to get. He is so generous when it comes to sharing recipes so I’ve got his authentic one to
share here.
Transparent pie close to McGee’s
Originally from Martha Jane Zeigler, a Batavia resident and fine baker. Now this isn’t the prettiest pie – the filling isn’t real high but is so enticingly sweet and good you’ll understand when you take a bite. A thick filling would just be too much. Now if all you have is dark Karo, that should be OK too. I’ve adapted this slightly from her original recipe. 1 pie shell 1 stick butter, room temperature (salted or unsalted is OK) 2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon flour 1 tablespoon vanilla 1 ⁄2 cup half & half 3 large eggs, lightly beaten 2 teaspoons cider vinegar 1 tablespoon clear Karo syrup Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Beat butter and sugar until mixture is fairly fluffy. Add rest of ingredients and blend well. Don’t worry if it looks curdled. Pour into pie shell. Bake 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then turn oven down to 325 degrees and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes more, or until pie has set. Awesome with a dollop of whipped cream.
Chef Jimmy Gherardi’s lemon sour cream blueberry pie
For reader Cathy Grosse who told me she’s tried to duplicate “but have only nearly got it – worth stuffing myself for.” Cathy wanted to wish Jimmy well and thinks, like I do, that Jimmy is a wonderful and caring person.
1 cup sugar ⁄4 cup all purpose flour 1 ⁄4 cup cornstarch 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄2 cup sour cream 1 ⁄2 cup water 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 6 egg yolks 1 ⁄3 cup fresh or organic bottled lemon juice
Congrats to Rob and Sheila
I recently celebrated 10 years of cooking with Rob and Sheila with a special cooking demo on the Fox 19 morning show. Go to my blog at www. Cincinnati.com to see the link for the video.
Whipped cream Fresh or thawed frozen blueberries or blueberry syrup. Place sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt in saucepan. Whisk. Add sour cream and water. Whisk until smooth. Place on stove top over medium heat and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and add butter. Stir until melted and well combined. Stir in yolks, Keep stirring until well combined – don’t worry if butter is floating around. Place back on heat and stir constantly until mixture is well combined and thick again. Stir in juice and keep stirring until it becomes thick and starts to hold its shape. Remove from heat and pour into prepared pie crust. Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then place in fridge until cold. Top with as much whipped cream, berries, etc. as you want.
Can you help?
Like P.F. Chang’s lemon sauce for chicken. Dan Romito, producer of Fox 19’s morning show asked me to find this for his mom, who reads my column. This is one of P.F. Chang’s most popular dishes …mmmm.
Chocolate zucchini bread/cake a huge hit
My editor, Lisa Mauch, and her co-workers gave this a two thumbs up. She made this both as cupcakes and in a loaf pan. This is a good recipe to use those gargantuan zucchini that look like they’re on steroids.

A fund drive has been set up to raise money for more bleachers at Western Hills High School.
Field fundraiser
Western Hills High School has new bleachers for the football, soccer, lacrosse field. When the new baseball field was built at the school, the old football stadium was lost and replaced with a practice field featuring artificial turf and lighting, but no provisions were made for spectators and home games. Home games were to be played at Stargel Field across from Taft High School. A strong sentiment for a home field at West High echoed through the students, faculty and community. The call went out for funding and the response was heard. West High alumni came up with the money and the project was underway. The field now has seating for 450 attendees at any event on the field. The next project will be the addition of a press box and a move to make the field the home field for all West High games. Those who would like to contribute to allow the expansion of this project, please send a donation to The Alumni Foundation, in care of Western Hills High School, 2144 Ferguson Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45238. right before she was to graduate from Colerain High School. The family is struggling with bills and medical costs and the garage sale is to help offset some of those costs. During the accident, Dickman lost all sensation and control of her arms and legs. She was flown by helicopter to University Hospital, where she underwent a six-hour surgery to stabilize her spine. She receive treatment for nine days in the intensive care unit, and was then flown to a spinal rehab facility in Atlanta. She is now a quadriplegic with a long road to recovery. Donations are being sought to help pay for the necessary changes that will be required of the family’s home to accommodate and care for Dickman. Donations are also being accepted at any Fifth Third Bank branch for the Kelli Dickman Benefit Account.

376 Days as Hostage to Muslim Terrorists
Guest Speaker — Gracia Burnham Can faith, hope, and love survive a year of terror? For American missionaries Martin and Gracia Burnham, what started out as a relaxing, once-in-a-lifetime anniversary getaway at an exotic island resort turned into one of the most horrific nightmares imaginable. Kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf, a terrorist group with ties to Osama bin Laden, the Burnhams were snatched away from friends and family and thrust into life on the run in the Philippine jungle experiencing a year long captivity, near starvation, constant exhaustion, frequent gun battles, being chained to a tree each night, and coldhearted murder. During this ordeal they also found themselves struggling to live the faith they had come to the Philippines to proclaim. In the process, they discovered the true condition of their own hearts — and of the heart of God. On June 7, 2002, in a firefight between the Philippine military and their captors Martin was killed and Gracia was wounded but freed. Whatever the struggles of your life, you’ll find encouragement and hope as Gracia personally shares about her yearlong struggle with the darkness that inhabits the human heart and the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Some things you just have to live with Let’s take a moment and answer some of your great gardening questions! “What is that blue green stuff growing on my tree trunks, and how do I get rid of it?” That blue-green stuff is very common and it’s called lichens. It’s an unusual combination of algae and fungus
growing together on the top of the plant’s bark. No, lichens will not harm your tree, and no, it doesn’t mean your tree is dying. But, lichens enjoy the sun, and if by chance your tree or plant is declining, so that there are fewer leaves and more sunlight hitting the lichens, they will respond by growing more vigorously.

But again, lichens are a very common thing, will not harm the tree, and there’s no real reason to try and get rid of it. “What is this yellow stuff growing in my mulch?” That slimy stuff is called “dog bark fungus” and really isn’t a fungus, but is a slime mold. When the weather is just right, this stuff shows up in the mulch, and can actually slime its way onto the tree trunks and up the side of the foundation. Again, a very natural occurrence, and there are no controls for it. Just fluff it up and let it dry, or scoop it up and throw it away. “I have mushrooms popping up in my lawn. What can I do?” When mushrooms appear in the lawn or on the landscape beds, there’s really not a whole lot you can do. They are just a natural part of the decomposing process. So as any type of organic matter is breaking down in the soil, and the weather conditions are right, mushrooms can appear. Decaying roots from a tree, small twigs, grass blades, any organic debris in the soil, mulch, even soil amendments can result with a few mushrooms popping up. So what can you do to prevent them? Not a whole lot. Fungicidal sprays aren’t really recommended for control, and it would be almost impossible to remove the
organic matter from the soil. (You actually want organic matter in your soil). you Ron Wilson pickIf them In the and throw garden them away, you may p r e v e n t some of the spores from spreading, but those spores are spread long distance in the winds, so that really doesn’t help much. The only reason I can see to collect them and throw them away is to keep them away from the kids and the pets, as some mushrooms can be toxic. So when you see mushrooms, step on them, mow them, pick and throw away if you want. And if you’re a golfer, I say get out the clubs and practice your swings on the mushrooms. I mean, hey, they’re already teed up and ready to hit. “I have a limey green grass that grows faster than the other grass. I also see it in my landscape beds. What is it, and how do I get rid of it?” It’s called nutgrass and can be one of the toughest weeds to get rid of. Nutgrass, or sometimes called watergrass or nutsedge, isn’t really a grass – it’s a sedge – and a tough one to get rid of. It grows faster than grass, has the limey green color, and loves
Plant of the week OK, all you Buckeye fans, so you’d like to grow your own buckeyes, but just don’t have the room for a buckeye tree? No frets, as I have the perfect answer for you! Aesculus parviflora, or commonly known as Bottlebrush Buckeye. And it’s not a tree, but instead a large growing shrub! And way underused in the landscape, if I must say so myself. Bottlebrush Buckeye has the same gray brown stems and palmately compound medium green leaves as the Buckeye trees, but will grow to about 810 feet in height and width – as a suckering multi-stemmed shrub – so give it plenty of room
to spread out. And it’ll grow in the sun or the shade! Bottlebrush Buckeye flowers in late June and early July with 8- to 12-inch long cylindrical white flowers that resemble a bottlebrush. It gives a very nice show of color that time of the year. As the flowers fade, the traditional buckeye nuts begin to appear, and will ripen in late September and early October. These are easily grown from seed, but you must collect the seeds just as they begin to fall to the ground in late September, and sow them fresh from the tree. If you wait until later in the fall, the seeds typically will not grow.
low poorly drained areas, although it will grow just about anywhere. It is a perennial, and reproduces from seed, tubers and nutlets, which makes it so hard to get rid of. So how do you tackle it? Hand pulling the younger plants may have some control, but once the tubers and nutlets have formed underground, pulling becomes a waste of time. But you can dig them out, making sure you get the plant, tubers, nutlets and all. In open landscape beds, spot treating with Roundup, Kleenup or Sedgehammer works best – and be sure to use a surfactant for better results. But it will take repeated applications. Spray it, kill it, and if it regrows, spray again. Spray only the nutgrass.
In the lawn, there are several chemicals that list nutgrass, but I like Sedgehammer the best. Again, use with a surfactant. Spot treat the lawn as needed (only spray the infected areas), and watch for regrowth and a possible follow-up spray. NOTE: For optimum control, you must use a surfactant to help these chemicals work. Basically the surfactant helps the chemicals stick to the waxy slick foliage of the nutgrass, which in turn gives you better results, and less repeated spraying.

Bernens Medical opens at Bayley Place they need to be healthy and active,” said Paul Kocsis, vice president of health and wellness at Bayley Place. A west-side staple for pharmaceutical and medical supplies, Bernens has been serving Cincinnati since 1938.

Bernens Medical is looking forward to servicing the community and furthering our mission to offer extensive health care products, at
affordable prices, but most importantly service with quality and professional care,” said Kate Engelhardt of Bernens. This second Bernens location will offer the same services, including free same day prescription delivery. The staff can easily transfer prescriptions from patients’ current pharmacy to Bernens and will include the services of a health-care professional on site for all pharmacy and medical questions.

The Mother of Mercy High School Volleyball team (Western Hills) wanted to do something together outside of their school and team responsibilities, and chose the BBBS 5K as a way to “give back” at the same time. Kathy List, president and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati, said, “This was the most successful event in the thirteen-year history of the 5K : a great event for the entire community - families, businesses, schools - all coming together to spend a Saturday morning supporting kids in our community.” For some children, mentoring takes place at school;
others are in the communitybased program which gives them the opportunity to spend time with their “Big” outside of school. Statistics show that young people in the program at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati stay in school and out of trouble. Ninety-nine percent of them are in school and not involved in the juvenile justice system. The 5K saw Bigs and
YMCA helps teens make decisions The Gamble Nippert YMCA has a program that engages neighborhood male teens and encourages them to make good decisions. Called BEST or Basketball Educating Successful Teens, the program empowers these young people by providing education about healthy behaviors, teaching critical thinking skills and strengthening their goal setting skills. It has been a great program for Cincinnati's west side; however, it is in need of funding in order for it to continue. That is how neighbors can help. BEST is in the running for a grant from Nike; however, it needs votes and voting ends September 15, 2009. BEST serves male teens at greatest risk during peak hours, giving them a positive and healthy place to spend their free time. If the Gamble Nippert YMCA has enough votes, the Nike grant will allow them to increase the number of days the program is offered and the number of guest speakers. For more information,

DO YOU WANT TO BE SAVED?
Only one time, in the entire bible, is the question asked. “What must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30). In the next verse (Acts 16:31) the question is answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt
Remember:
be saved, and thy house.”
Hell’s Hot Life’s Short Death’s Sure Eternity’s Long and “There Ain’t No Exits In Hell.” NO MAN KNOWS, HOW SOON IT IS TOO LATE “Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain.” Exodus 20:7 Any way that you use God’s Name, the Lord’s Name, Jesus’ Name, other than in a Holy manner, is taking His Name in vain. For God so loved the worlds, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in Him Should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Acts 2:21 And Romans 10:13 indicate that “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” In the next verse, Romans 10:14 it says, “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?” Believing precedes calling upon The name of the Lord. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” God reaffirms this truth in I Timothy 2:5 saying “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” When someone says “repeat this prayer after me to be saved” it is making people feel like they have to “do” something to be saved, other than believing. If someone is asked to say a prayer to be saved, the person who says the prayer is still on his way to hell, after repeating the prayer, if he hasn’t believed in his heart. Nowhere in the Bible is it found that a person has to pray a prayer to be saved. God does not hear a prayer unless you go to God in the name of Jesus Christ, The Only Mediator between God and man. Jesus Christ is not your Mediator unless he is your Lord and Savior. So according to God, the steps are, first, you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. By believing as Acts 16:31 indicates, you are saved! Acts 16:30,31 is the only time in the Bible where the question is asked, “what must I do to be saved?” God answering through Paul said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. By being saved, Jesus Christ is your Lord, Savior, and Mediator between God and your self. Now you can pray to God, because you have the Mediator, Jesus Christ.

I believe that when a person “prays” to God, without being saved, his prayer goes no higher than the ceiling, and God probably says, “Who do you think you are, to think that you can come to Me, without coming to Me in the only possible way that I have set out in My Word? For you come to Me, through My Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the One and Only Mediator between you and Me.” You don’t just pull Jesus Christ out of the air, and say today I want You to get me to God, by my go-between for God! It doesn’t work that way. Jesus Christ is either your Lord and Savior, making Him your Mediator, or, if Jesus Christ is not your Lord and Savior. He is not your Mediator. I believe it is very important to stress that you are saved by believing only. John 3:16, probably the most quoted verse in the Bible, says that, “whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Again, this passage clearly prescribes believing, not repeating a prayer. In Jon 3:4, Nicodemus asks Jesus, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into this mother’s womb, and be born?” He was asking this in regard to Jesus’ statement in John 3:3, that a man needs to be born again Jesus’ answer in John 3:5 and following is “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Nowhere does Jesus say, pray to be saved, it is always believe. Years ago, I heard Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse say “I’m deeply offended when I hear a prayer that does not end with the idea that God must be approached only through the Name and the Being of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 1:13 says “In whom (Christ) ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.” Romans 10:9 tells us “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hat raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth (first) unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession (next) is made unto salvation.” How many people have gone to hell or are going to hell by putting their trust in the ungodly “pray the sinners prayer” or “repeat this prayer after me”, instead of believing John 3:36: “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” Luke 23:39-43 tells us “And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, if thou be Christ, save thyself and us.” But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” In these verses in Luke, we see that a man was saved by believing only. The malefactor did not, and was not instructed by Jesus, to pray, to receive salvation. He said unto Jesus, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verify I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” You don’t fool Jesus. Jesus knew that this man believed in Him; that this man believed that this Jesus that he was talking with was the Lord, The Messiah, the Only Begotten Son of God, the Savior, and in believing, the man was saved. Now if you think that you have to pray first; repeat, first, or anything first, before believing, why did Jesus tell him “today thou shalt be with Me in paradise?” OR if there is a need to do for anything to go along with believing believing, why didn’t Jesus tell him what that was? Jesus doesn’t make mistakes! God’s Word is true. You don’t (really you can’t), add to or take away from God’s Word, and it be true. Just leave His Word alone, and do what God said, believe, Psalm 119:89” “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Revelations 22:18,19” For/testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Take your Bible and check the references that we contained herein—nothing added to and nothing taken away; and when you hear “the plan of salvation” from anyone, get your Bible out and see if it is God speaking or “someone’s” idea. I can’t see “ten steps” to salvation, I can see only one step: believe. The malefactor on the cross had but one step, and he took it. You, I, we all have “one step,” believe. Please take it, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation. All Scripture references are from The King James Version, (Cambridge, Cambridge) 1789.

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week
The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast
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.
