HYDE PARK —TheHydeParkNeighborhood Council has ex-pressed its opposition to a possi-blegatearoundtheCockandBullEnglish Pub.

It would impact the adjacentbusinesses and also affect thecharacter of the square, saidcouncil board member Carl Ue-belacker.

Chris Penn, a managing part-ner of the Cock and Bull, saidnothing has been finalized anddifferent options are being con-sidered.

Penn said the pub wants to setup some type of demarcation toidentify the boundaries where

patrons can eat ordrink outdoors.

He said thiscould range froma wrought ironfence to flowerboxes placed atcertain points.

“We haven’tmade a commit-

ment to anything,” he said. “Weare not building barricades.(This) will not prevent pedestri-ans from walking through.”

Uebelacker said restrictionswere set about 20 years ago,when Darci’s was a tenant at thatlocation, which is at the corner ofErie Avenue and Edwards Road.

“One of the restrictions ontheir conditional use of an out-door eating and drinking areawas to maintain public access tothe sidewalk that abuts the frontof those buildings,” said Uebe-

lacker.Uebelacker said any type of

structure would violate this con-dition. “(This) has not been aproblem for several decades,” hesaid.

Penn said he was unaware ofany such restriction. However,hesaidagatewouldnotnecessar-ily block or obstruct pedestriantraffic.

Amit Ghosh, chief building of-ficial for Cincinnati, said Cockand Bull does have a permit foroutdoor seating.

However, he said if the busi-ness wants to place something onthe sidewalk it would need astreet permit allowing for this.

Ghosh said at this point noth-ing had been filed.

TheHydeParkNeighborhoodCouncil is expected to continuediscussions on the issue at futuremeetings.

The Hyde Park Neighborhood Council is concerned a gate may be installed at the Cock and Bull EnglishPub impacting pedestrian traffic. A representative for the pub said ideas are being considered for waysto identify the outdoor eating area, but nothing has been finalized or approved. FORREST SELLERS/THE

Mt. Lookout residents couldget some relief from heavy traf-fic in the neighborhood as por-tions of the proposed EasternCorridor road plan are con-structed.

The proposed multimodaltransportation project aims toimprove connections betweendowntown Cincinnati and west-ern Clermont County. It includesinterchange upgrades, relocat-ing state Route 32, improvingthe Red Bank Road corridor anda commuter rail line.

Andy Fluegemann, a plan-ning engineer for the Ohio De-partment of Transportation Dis-

trict 8, said they're finishing sev-eral components of the study'ssecond tier, but do not have fund-ing for later pieces of the pro-ject, including design and con-struction.

Some residents at the recentMt. Lookout Community Councilmeeting expressed concernabout the high volume of traffictraveling through Mt. Lookoutsquare, particularly along Lin-wood Avenue, also known asstate route 561.

Fluegemann said trafficmodeling has showed therewould be a decrease in the num-ber of vehicles along LinwoodAvenue as segments of the East-ern Corridor project is complet-ed.

COLUMBIA TWP. — Officialsin Columbia Township arepleased with resident efforts torecycle, but are questioning ifthey're getting all they should.

The township received $3,561for its recycling efforts in 2011.The money comes from thecounty and is based on theamount of recycling the commu-

nity does in a given year.Township Administrator Mi-

chael Lemon said despite thetownship receiving similaramounts in recent years, hefeels Columbia Township likelyrecycles even more than it's re-ceiving credit for.

"I think our people are doingbetter ... there's just no way ofknowing for sure," he said.

Lemon noted the way the ma-terials are collected leads tosome uncertainty in the actualrecycling figure. He said since

Bill Collins from theMadisonville Communi-ty Council said they'vebeen working with East-ern Corridor officials todevelop the Red Bankcorridor improvementsand have recommendeda parkway-like boule-vard.

He said it's importantfor east-side residentsto share their perspec-tives with the planningteam as the projectmoves forward.

"We want to makesure that whatever wedo with the part of theEastern Corridor that'sin the city ... that it gen-erates job growth,makes communitiesmore pleasant places tolive and that we can le-verage money to tie to-gether the businessesand residences," he said.

Collins added thathe'd like to see recre-ational opportunitiessuch as pedestrian orbike paths connect thedifferent neighbor-hoods.

Mt. Lookout Commu-nity Council PresidentJohn Brannock is part ofthe Eastern CorridorDevelopment Team,which includes leadersfrom the communitiesimpacted, and the pro-ject team plans to con-duct a public meetinglater this year.

Now that construction iscomplete in Mt. Lookoutsquare the community isworking on final beautifi-cation touches.

The project, which wascompleted in two phasesduring 2010 and 2011, in-cludes wider sidewalks,decorative lighting, ex-tended curbs at cross-walks, additional green-space and other enhance-ments.

There are a few minorpieces of the square revi-talization project the cityof Cincinnati is completingthis year, such as outlet up-grades, said Mt. LookoutCommunity Council mem-ber Andy Park.

“We were about $20,000under budget so we’re ableto use that for painting andrefastening the rail aroundthe parking island,” saidPark, who is also presidentof the Mt. Lookout Commu-nity Development Corp.and helped spearhead theproject.

After that, he said theyshould have some money

left over for landscaping,signage and similar items.

Mt. Lookout was alsoawarded an additional$30,000 from the city ofCincinnati’s NeighborhoodBusiness District Improve-ment Program for signageand branding.

Park said they’re look-ing at more hardscapeplans such as a stone struc-ture in the large parking is-lands or gateway signs, andwill incorporate ideas froma 2010 design contest.

In addition to the brand-

ing ideas, CommunityCouncil Vice President Er-ic Flamme said they’re de-veloping a long-term land-scaping plan.

“From time to time,over the last couple yearsduring project construc-tion, there hasn’t been areal, comprehensive land-scape plan in place,” hesaid.

“Not all our envisionedlandscaping is in place ...and we want to match ourvision with our funding lev-el.”

MADISONVILLE —Where does Madisonvillesee itself a decade fromnow?

That was a questionposed to residents duringthe recent MadisonvilleCommunity Council meet-ing.

“What happened at thismeeting is the communitytook the lead,” said BobIgoe, board president of theMadisonville CommunityCouncil. “We’re no longerwaiting for the city to pre-sent a plan.

“We are developing ourown.”

Those attending themeeting broke into individ-ual groups to discuss the re-sults of a recent series of in-terviews with residents and

businessowners inMadison-ville. Partic-ipants in theinterviewsanswered aseries ofquestionsregardingwhat theyconsideredstrengths,opportuni-ties andweaknessesin the com-munity.

SaraSheets, pro-

gram director for the Madi-sonville Community UrbanRedevelopment Corp., saidthose attending the meetingwere asked how they envi-sioned Madisonville in 10years.

Some of the clear areasof focus were business de-velopment, health and well-ness and youth opportuni-ties, she said.

From this feedback a vi-sion statement for Madi-sonville will be developed,said Sheets.

“Over the summer strat-egy teams will work tocome up with specific strat-egies that will get us to thatvision,” she said.

She said an effort will bemade to achieve a numberof these goals within a year.

Sheets said an initialdraftof thisplanwillbepre-sented during the May com-munity council meeting.

The Madisonville Com-munity Council will meet 7p.m. Thursday, May 17, atthe Madisonville Recrea-tion Center, 5320 StewartRoad.

Area residents will soonhave a new trail to hike orbike along this summer.

The Hamilton CountyPark District is building aone-mile paved connectionfrom Otto Armleder Me-morial Park in Linwood toLunken Airport in the EastEnd.

The trail is scheduled toopen in June, and it willpass under Beechmont Av-enue and cross a tributaryto the Little Miami River.

Construction began infall 2010, but plans for atrail connection have beenin the works for years, saidKimberly Whitton, com-munications specialist forthe Hamilton County ParkDistrict.

The Cincinnati ParkBoard and Cincinnati Rec-reation Commission hadplanned to develop a pavedconnection when they en-tered into an agreementwith the county Park Dis-trict to develop a passivesection of Armleder Park,she said.

Per the 2005 agreement,the Hamilton County ParkDistrict agreed to developthe planned trail connec-tion, Whitton said.

“We have some of thebest trails in the region,and the Armleder trail con-

nector is just another won-derful addition to our pipe-line through the Cincinnatiregion,” she said.

“The ultimate plan forthe future is for the LittleMiami Scenic trail and theOhio River Trail to eventu-ally connect with the Lun-ken Field loop trail.”

The city of Cincinnatialso plans to start construc-tion this summer on anoth-er trail segment from Lun-ken Airport to Canoe Court,off Salem Road.

This segment wouldcreate a connection acrossthe Little Miami River onthe existing bridge fromMagrish Nature Preserveand run along Kellogg Ave-nue as it ties into the Lun-ken Airport loop, said Mi-chael Moore, director ofthe Transportation and En-gineering Department forthe city of Cincinnati.

“We want to start to tie

some of these trail piecestogether,” he said. “I don’tthink people realize howmuch of the Ohio RiverTrail we’ve managed to gettogether.”

Last year, the city com-pleted a segment from Lun-ken Airport westbound to-ward Riverview East Acad-emy and Schmidt Fields.

Moore said they’re alsoworking to connect the seg-ment from Salem Roadthrough California to therecently constructed seg-ment in Anderson Town-ship, near River Downs andConey Island, and also ex-tend the trail along River-side Drive further intodowntown.

“It’s a fairly extensivetrail network and we’restarting to connect theOhio River Trail,” he said.“We’re also trying to getfairly significant connec-tion to regional trails.”

Trail connection openingBy Lisa [email protected] CONNECTION CLEANUP

Community members can lend a hand to clean up thenew one-mile connector trail between Otto ArmlederMemorial Park and Lunken Airport.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m., with the cleanup con-ducted 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 5.

Volunteers should bring work gloves and sturdy shoes.Bottled water and trash bags will be provided.

Terrace Park has de-veloped a new way toprevent its streets fromfurther deterioration bystandardizing materialsused for off-street park-ing pads.

Many residents haveoff-street parking areasin the village right ofway, and Police Chief andStreet CommissionerGerald Hayhow saidsome of these cause wa-ter to drain into the roadwhere it puddles, and ru-ins the pavement.

“In attempt to maxi-mize our investment inroad repairs we’ve de-veloped a simple andcommon-sense approachthat will assist us in elim-inating water that standson or near the paved por-tion of the road,” he said.

“Our goal is to get the

water off the road, drainin the village right of wayand, at the same time, al-low residents to park offthe street.”

For future off-streetparking pads, the home-owner or contractor willbe required to come tothe village office andview the standardizedmaterials, Hayhow said.Options include largerocks, smaller stonesand finer gravel chip.

This system will makethe parking areas moreuniform and keep the wa-ter off village roads, hesaid.

They also plan to workwith homeowners to ad-dress current problemswhere the parking pad ishigher than the roadwayand inspect all futuresites, Hayhow said.

Parking in the villageright of way is a revoca-ble street privilege, andHayhow said they couldremove the spot and re-plant grass, but theywould prefer to workwith property owners torectify the situation.

Solicitor Bob Malloysaid the program andstandards are in place,but it will have to be re-visited often to stay ontop of problems and pro-tect the roadway.

“You can really seewhere the road getschopped up next toplaces where there is in-adequate drainage nextto the right of way,”Councilman Mark Porstsaid.

He asked that futureroad repairs be contin-gent on proper drainageinto the right of way.

Without that condi-tion, Porst said the vil-lage is “just setting our-selves up to constantlyrepair roads and spendmoney that we shouldn’tbe spending.”

Council also approvedre-grading and repairingsections of the 600 and700 blocks of Yale Ave-nue where the standingwater has damaged pave-ment. The repairs are notto exceed $7,544 and thefunds are from the regu-lar road budget.

HYDE PARK — Triffon Callosknew the strength of the Sum-mit Country Day baseball teamwould be its pitching.

And preps fans across theCincinnati area have been wit-nesses to his optimism.

Through April 25, The SilverKnights (18-2, 8-0) boasted afive-man starting rotation that’sposted a combined 1.40 ERA.

Lefthander Tommy Crowlleads the Knights with 30 in-nings pitched. The junior was4-1 with a 1.60 ERA and 36strikeouts.

In one of his latest startsagainst Miami Valley Confer-ence rival, Seven Hills, Crowlstruck out nine en route to a 4-3win April 21.

“Anytime (Tommy) has the

ball, I’m confident we can win,”Callos said. “I’ll throw Tommyagainst anybody in the city be-cause he competes so well.”

Matt Slager leads theKnights with a 1.06 ERA and is4-1 this spring, while KennyKerr (4-1, 1.31 ERA), DougCompton (3-0, 1.37 ERA) andBradley Fisk (3-0, 1.64 ERA)round out the rotation.

Fisk, who is a senior, is 8-0 in

his varsity career.The fact that Fisk has been

the Knights’ fourth starter ex-hibits how deep the rotationgoes, according to Callos.

“Brad has not lost a game invarsity career,” Callos said.“Anytime you’ve got a guy asyour four (who hasn’t lost)shows we have depth in ourpitching staff.”

Besides being dominant onthe mound, the Knights’ pitch-ers are helping their own causesat the plate.

Crowl leads the team with a.482 average, while Comptonhas knocked in 24 runs whilebatting a .339 clip.

Kerr is batting .390 with 18RBI and Fisk has swiped 10 sto-len bases, in addition to batting.396 with 10 RBI. Slager hasknocked in 21 run and is hitting.357.

Through four weeks of play,the Silver Knights held the No. 4spot in the Enquirer’s DivisionII-IV Coaches’ Poll.

Summit's Tommy Crowl was 4-1 with a 1.60 ERA through April 25. GEOFF BLANKENSHIP/FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

A publication of

Democrat adviser HilaryRosen's belittling commentsabout Ann Romney and how she“hasn't worked a day in herlife” are getting a lot of atten-tion, and I suspect Hilary re-grets saying it (even thoughshe probably still believes it.)Ann raised five kids underdifficult circumstances be-cause of her serious medicalproblems.

Let me share my own epiph-any. I spent 31 years with theIBM Corp., the last 17 of whichwere in a human resourcesposition that gave me muchsatisfaction. I was fortunate tolearn a lot about IBM's person-nel policies and practices andwas able to make presentations

to groups of managers andemployees to explain thesepolicies, and also to help solveindividual problems that cameto my attention.

I received good annual per-formance evaluations and I gota good salary and frequent payincreases. While I was away atwork or on business trips mywife stayed at home and tookcare of raising our three chil-dren.

I hate to admit this, but mygeneral sense during thoseyears was that my role in thefamily, that of “breadwinner,”was more difficult and moreimportant.

And then my daughter gaveus our first grandchild in 2004.

She is a surgi-cal nurse, andafter the preg-nancy shereturned towork threedays a week.My wife wasworking at thetime and I hadjust left a part-time job so Iwas selected to

watch our little girl on thosethree days a week. She woulddrop her off at about 8:30 and Iwould have her all day until mywife or my daughter got home.

The three years duringwhich I did this taught me anextremely valuable lesson, and

gave me an appreciation formothers that I will never lose.

Fortunately, I was able to doa decent job of taking care ofIsabella, changing diapers,holding her in my arms whileshe napped, taking her out tothe store with me, playing withher, etc. But it didn't take melong to realize how demandingthe job of child care could be, ifone did it properly.

I got no “breaks,” for in-stance. I had to be on constantalert. I got no pay and no payincreases, performance evalua-tions, or congratulations fromanyone on how I was doing. Novacations, no holidays, no sickdays. And remember, I onlytook care of my girl for about

eight hours a day and I only hadone child to look after.

This taught me, in a way thatonly experience could, thatwhat my wife had done duringthose early years was far moredifficult and important thananything I did at Big Blue. Icould no longer see a womanwith two, three, four or fivekids shopping at Kroger with-out a deep feeling of admira-tion.

So maybe Miss Rosen thinkswhat she is doing is more im-portant and more difficult thanraising kids. But I sure don't.

Last week’s questionDo you think the recent scan-

dals involving the Secret Serviceand General Services Administra-tion are examples of a federalgovernment that is too large andbureaucratic? Why or why not?

“No. It is an example of a lackof morality of people in general.

“This is a disgrace on the menwho have passed some of thehighest security checks. This wasshameful. The thing that is worri-some is that this was probably notthe first time and it must havebeen ignored. It has nothing to dowith government being too big.”

K.L.S.

“In spite of the fact that theRepublican Party has made criti-cism of our government theircore message, and in spite of thefact that our government does dothings terribly wrong from timeto time, the U.S. government israther lean compared to most ofthe rest of the developed world.

“The trouble with the over-simplification that the Republi-cans have wallowed in for somedecades is that we have lost a sig-nificant part of our ability to havea functional national dialogueabout real problems.

“It is more important for peo-ple in this nation to understandthat every Republican candidatefor president, and almost everymember of Congress and the U.S.Senate in that party is dead set onthe same type of austerity mea-sures which doubled the length ofthe Great Depression in the U.S.,and made it even worse inEurope, back in the 1930s.

“Now Europe is dominated bypeople who demonize govern-ment spending, and their currentrecession is much worse thanours, but we have a lot of peopleclamoring for more bad times.

“President Bush, who is no he-ro in my book, understood eco-nomic stimulus. President Oba-ma has done so, and saved count-less jobs, and created a platformfor growth which might not haveexisted, and which is still fragile.

“Listen to the people who saythat we need a long-term pro-gram for fiscal responsibility anda short term investment in our in-frastructure. These are the peo-ple who will guide us out of thesmoke and rubble.

“And when an alcoholic or atroubled soul emerges from thisgreat nation's government anddoes something intolerableblame the individual and fix theproblems. Don't pretend that it isan indictment of the whole com-plex organization that keeps usgoing.

N.F.

“No, these scandals are notcaused by big bureaucratic gov-ernment, they are caused by indi-viduals and managers who exhib-it incredibly bad judgment.

“That such people are incharge may be the result of an or-ganization that has gotten too bigto police itself, but the explana-tion I favor is poor or nonexistentleadership at the top. PresidentHarry Truman proclaimed 'Thebuck stops here,' but in today'sWhite House that concept hasbeen replaced with 'Don't blameme.’”

R.V.

“This question is almost rhe-torical. The Secret Service fallsunder the jurisdiction of theTreasury Department, so wheredoes the accountability fall, onthe Secret Service, or the Trea-sury Department?

“The federal government istoo large and bureaucratic inmany ways. There are more com-missions, sub commissions, andcommittees in our governmentthan one can imagine. If corpo-rate America ran like this, youcould imagine what this countrywould be like today?”

O.H.R.

“Everything about our gov-ernment is too large and bureau-cratic. I don’t think that this iswhat our founding fathers had inmind when the government wasfirst set up.

“As far as the Secret Servicegoes, I guess no part of govern-ment on either side is beyond cor-ruption.”

D.D.

“I am so disappointed with theSecret Service. I have had the up-most respect for them for a life-time. I can't imagine what wouldhave lead them so far from theirmission to represent the UnitedStates and the president with thedignity we all expect.

“I don't think it has anything todo with government getting toobig. I think it was poor judgmentand not thinking through the re-percussions. Maybe there is toomuch stress and expectations aretoo high. Regardless, I think ev-eryone involved should be firedand their actions not toleratednow or in the future.”

E.E.C.

“I don't think government iscurrently too big.

“I think there is a push by theRepublican party to paint thatpicture, however when they werein power they had scandals andbig government abusing the peo-ple's tax base. Two unfundedwars, tax entitlements for thewealthy, in terms of the Bush taxcuts, and not amending the car-ried interest tax law, no-bid con-tracts to companies connected tothe administration.

“So graft and misuse of fundscuts both ways in both parties andwith these being the freshestscandals in Washington, they'll bepainted by some as government'smisuse of their power and thepeople's taxes.

“Government needs to be asize that will create an environ-ment where people can get aneducation, job training, and haveprivate industry regulations andsafe guards in place so worker'sare not abuse or taken advantageof.

“I think the current issue isthat government is in a standoffon both sides so maybe we need toshrink government by shrinkingthe egos and inflexibility of thosein Congress. I think that is whereI would start to try to shrink gov-ernment.”

I.P.

“Absolutely. And like the ice-berg that sank the Titanic, youdon't see the whole picture.

“The biggest problem with'the government' is that therereally isn't much oversight, andmany, if not all, governmentagencies act as if they are not an-swerable or accountable to any-one.

“In the private sector (at leastto a certain extent) if employeesmess up they risk being fired. Ifcompanies mess up they risk be-ing prosecuted, and certainlyrisk their financial stability andsurvival.

“Not so with the government,i.e., witness our president. Heseems to think he can do any-thing, and is even counting on be-ing re-elected in November.”

Bill B.

“Yes, and not only that, whatever happened to 'The buck stopshere'? I'm amazed that apparent-ly no one's mother taught them tofess up when they're wrong.

“I'd have much more respectif someone admitted to wrong do-ing and took their punishmentwithout whining that it was some-one else's fault.”

Some of the big itemsup for bid this year included a2012 Seadoo, vacations in SiestaKey, Hilton Head, and Park City -plus tickets to the NCAA Sweet16 and Elite 8 in Atlanta, Ga.

Silent auction bidding was

simple and fun due to the returnof the high-tech handheld bid-ding device called BidPal.

The personal devices werepre-loaded with every auctionitem - item description, value,bid increments, and donor infor-mation, which made it possible tobrowse the silent auction area,view items, and bid from any-where at any time during theevent.

The Grand Raffle for SUABall, St. Ursula's 32nd annualauction, was a three-year leaseon a 2012 Toyota Prius providedby Joseph Toyota or $10,000cash.

The winners this year: Kirkand Diann Fischesser of Cole-rain Twp.

The event was a big success,thanks to the hard work and coor-dination by SUA Ball chair-cou-ple Casey (Thomas) '77 and MarkGuilfoyle, SUA Director of Spe-cial Events Rose Stertz and doz-ens of dedicated and talentedvolunteers.

All proceeds from the SUABall go to the Academy's generalfund, which helps to support St.Ursula's educational program-ming and provides aid for de-serving young women from theTristate area to attend St. UrsulaAcademy.

"We are truly grateful for thesupport of everyone who makesthis event possible," said Stertz,SUA Director of Special Events,who plans all of the SUA Ball andrelated events for St. Ursula."Without the donors, volunteers,bidders and attendees, we couldnot make this kind of significantimpact for the students. Wethank you all!"

Plans will soon get underwayfor next year's SUA Ball event.St. Ursula parents Beth andChris Canarie volunteered tochair the event next year. Moredetails will be announced as theplans develop.

MADISONVILLE — A new busi-ness is bringing Paris to the Tris-tate.

The French Rendez-vous spe-cializes in fabrics as well as as-sorted decorative gifts.

“I want it to be a local trip toFrance without having to gothere,” said owner and Paris na-tive Sylvain Archer.

Archer opened the business11 years ago in Montgomery. Afull-time musician and compos-er, he opened it as a side enter-prise.

For more than a decade Ar-cher coordinated a “SensorySundays” program in Montgo-

mery. The program combinedart, music and food.

He said the French Rendez-vous was an extension of that.

Knowing he was a native ofFrance people would often askhim for items such as fabrics,perfumes and soaps, he said.

To help meet customer de-mand Archer said he began tolearn about ordering and stock-ing of items.

“The French country look isvery popular,” he said, addingthat importing items fromEurope can be costly and as a re-sult French fabrics are not asprevalent as some other types offabric in the retail environment.

When the building he operat-ed from in Montgomery was soldhe began looking for a new loca-tion.

“By accident I stumbled onthis property (in Madisonville),”he said. “I just knew this was it.”

French Rendez-vous has fab-rics that can be used for every-thing from curtains to table-

cloths, and bedspreads to pil-lows.

“The French fabric industryis old and established and has apositive reputation,” he said.

Archer said people appreci-ate the colors and “the harmony”of the fabrics.

Original artwork will also beavailable in the store.

French Rendez-vous is in theprocess of opening. Initially vis-its will be by appointment. How-ever, eventually the hours will 11a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday throughSaturday.

It is located at 6124 MadisonRoad.

For information, call 561-0272or visit the website www.fren-chrendezvous.com.

Youdon’t haveto live onthe southside of theOhio Riverto know thefirst Sat-urday inMay isKentuckyDerby Day.

Some of the fastesthorses in the world com-pete in the famous racefor the distinction ofwearing a necklace ofroses. It’s also a big partyday – country ham, friedapples, biscuits, spoonbread, green salad, freshmint juleps and lemonadewith mint.

Legendary HotBrown

From the Brown Hotelin Louisville. This is thereal deal – I called thehotel and verified therecipe. The photo is fromthe restaurant. Theywere so accommodating.I don’t know if I can waituntil Derby Day to makethis. The notes in paren-theses are mine.

Ingredients (makestwo hot browns):

2 oz. butter (¼ cup)2 oz. all-purpose flour (½

cup)1 qt. heavy cream (I’d use

whipping cream)½ cup pecorino Romano

cheese, plus 1 tbsp. forgarnish

Salt and pepper to taste14 oz. sliced roasted turkey

breast2 slices of Texas toast (crust

trimmed)4 slices of crispy bacon2 Roma tomatoes, sliced in

halfPaprika, parsley

In a two-quart sauce-pan, melt butter andslowly whisk in flouruntil combined and formsa thick paste (roux). Con-tinue to cook roux for twominutes over medium-low heat, stirring fre-quently. Whisk whippingcream into the roux andcook over medium heatuntil the cream begins tosimmer, about 2-3 min-utes. Remove sauce fromheat and slowly whisk inpecorino Romano cheeseuntil the Mornay sauce issmooth. Add salt andpepper to taste.

For each hot brown,place one slice of toast inan oven-safe dish andcover with 7 ounces ofturkey. Take two halvesof Roma tomato and setthem alongside the baseof turkey and toast. Next,pour one half of the Mor-nay sauce to completelycover the dish. Sprinkle

with additional pecorinoRomano cheese. Placeentire dish under a broil-er until cheese begins tobrown and bubble. Re-move from broiler, crosstwo pieces of crispy ba-con on top, sprinkle withpaprika and parsley, andserve immediately.

Mint julepsMake a simple syrup:

combine 1 cup water, 1

cup sugar and a generous1/2 cup roughly choppedspearmint leaves in apan. Bring to a boil andcook until sugar dis-solves. Let cool, thenstrain. Fill your frozengoblets (or even regularglasses, not frozen) withcrushed ice and pourabout 4 oz. bourbon and1/4 cup mint syrup ineach. Go to taste on this!Top each with a sprig ofmint and a straw whichhas been trimmed tobarely come up to the topof the cups.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Spearmint or pepper-mint – which is best forjuleps?

There’s always a de-bate about this. Spear-mint is traditional, andsweeter than peppermint.Peppermint contains a lotof menthol, which makesit taste stronger. Pepper-mint is used in a lot ofmedicines and also intoothpastes, peppermintcandies and chewinggum. Spearmint is muchmilder in flavor and usedmore in the culinary area.It used to flavor chewinggum and candy.

Rita’s clone ofKentucky Derby pie

Authentic KentuckyDerby pie is a closelyguarded secret and eventhe name is copyrighted.Probably my most-re-

quested recipe this timeof year.

Start with an unbakedpie crust.

3 large eggs, roomtemperature

¾ cup sugar1 cup dark corn syrup½ stick butter, melted and

cooled1½ teaspoons vanillaUp to 1¼ cups chopped

pecans1 cup chocolate chips (tested

with Kroger’s Belgianchips)

Splash of bourbon (optionalbut good)

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Beat eggs andthen beat in sugar, cornsyrup, butter and vanilla.Stir in bourbon, nuts andchocolate. Bake about40-55 minutes or untilfilling is puffed and crustis golden. Cool and servewith whipped cream.Store in refrigerator.

With extremely lowinterest rates these daysmany people are temptedto buy a new house. But ifyou buy or sell a house inOhio or Kentucky, youneed to know about thestate’s lien laws.

In December, Davidand Donna Allen bought acondo in Mason. “We paidcash for the condo but wewanted to do some reno-vations before we movedin. So, we applied for ahome equity line of cred-it,” Donna said.

Since they owned thecondo outright there

should be no problemgetting a loan on the prop-erty but “the bank man-ager called to say therewas a lien against theproperty that was putthere after the titlesearch for the closingwas done and it wasagainst my husband,”Donna said.

They were told the lienis from a Capital Onejudgment but David saidhe never had an accountthere. So, they checkedwith the county clerk ofcourt. Donna said, “Shesent me a copy of the

originaljudgmentfrom But-ler County.It said thelien is to beplacedagainstDavid M.Allen wholives inMiddle-

town. We never lived inMiddletown.”

In addition to thatdocument, the clerk alsogave the Allens a mistak-en identity affidavit andtold David to fill it out

and send it to Capital One.He did, but “we’ve neverheard anything back fromthem and I don’t evenknow whom to call any-more,” Donna said.

Finally, Allen took thataffidavit to her lenderand then got approval forthe line of credit on thecondo, but it took an extratwo weeks because of allthe confusion.

“This is not the firsttime this has happened.When we sold our home inFairfield Township threeyears ago our realtorcalled and said they did a

title search and therewere six liens against us,”Donna said.

So, what’s going onhere? Well, in Ohio liensare not placed againstproperty, but rather theyare placed against a per-son’s name. So, anyonewith a common name likeDavid Allen could find alot of judgments againstothers with that samename.

Just as was finallydone in this case, yousimply need to get a “notme” or “mistaken identi-ty” affidavit from the

clerk of court and takethat to your lender. Thatwill show you’re not theperson named in the judg-ment. This same systemis used in Indiana, but notused in Kentucky. InKentucky, liens are actu-ally placed against theproperties themselvesrather than a person’sname.

How close are weto a cure for cancer?

Despite remarkable progress in the fight against cancer, there are many cancer patients whose

greatest challenge isn’t lack of treatment. It’s lack of transportation.

To make sure that everyone who needs a ride gets one, the American Cancer Society is currently

seeking volunteer drivers. If you have one or more mornings or afternoons free during the month,

you can volunteer for this lifesaving program. A person can volunteer as often as he or she wishes.

For information on how to volunteer, or if you need transportation assistance, call your American

Cancer Society at 1.800.227.2345.

BLUE ASH — ForestPharmaceuticals is mov-ing from Oakley to BlueAsh and bringing 125 jobswith it.

That’s according to Ju-dy Clark, Blue Ash eco-nomic development direc-tor, who said Forest Phar-maceuticals will relocateadministrative, produc-tion and packing opera-tions to the Osborne Bou-levard development areain Blue Ash in the summerof 2013.

Forest Pharmaceuti-cals will construct a new

building after acquiringboth a parcel of land at thesouthwest corner of Os-borne Boulevard and Ken-wood Road in Blue Ashand a second, adjacentproperty on KenwoodRoad where Kraft Foodsformerly operated a ware-house.

Blue Ash built OsborneBoulevard between Ken-wood Road and the ReedHartman Highway 10years ago in hopes of woo-ing commercial develop-ment to that area.

Last fall, the cityagreed to offer ForestPharmaceuticals $325,000to acquire property in

Blue Ash.“In the midst of a long

economic downturn, BlueAsh is still attracting topcompanies because ofproactive city planning,desirable amenities andaccessibility to majormarkets,” Blue Ash May-or Mark Weber said.

Representatives ofForest Pharmaceuticals,which manufactures, sellsand distributes brandedprescription drugs in theUnited States, declinedcomment.

The company is a sub-sidiary of Forest Labora-tories Inc., headquarteredin New York, N.Y.
