The Ohio Department ofTransportation has scheduledanother community meetingabout plans to relocate stateRoute 32.

ODOT officials havesaid they selected the newstudy corridor because theriver is more stable thereand isn’t expected to shiftas much in the future.

Mariemont residentsand officials have ada-mantly opposed this planafter learning about thenewstudycorridorearlierthis summer.

They’ve cited multiple

concerns including thatarea’s rich archeologicaland natural resources andasked ODOT to conductmore public input hear-ings on these plans.

The south 80 acres,which sits below MiamiBluff Drive and Marie-mont Avenue, is a flood-plain area recently trans-formed intoapassiveparkwith hike/bike trails.

Future plans includeprimitive camping sitesand possible kayak/canoelaunches.

ODOT officials havesaid the relocated stateRoute 32 would be morenarrowthan the studycor-ridor and the actual road-way would be more like aparkway with greenspaceand pedestrian or bikepaths along the side.

Newtown has also longopposed this componentof the Eastern Corridorplan because it shows theroadway cutting throughthe village and officialshave said this would de-stroy much of Newtown’sbusiness district.

all the criteria needed togain approval.

She said the map sub-mitted byNewtown is inac-curate, and therefore thepetition should be denied.

Tobe approvedbyHam-ilton County, the annex-ation petitionmust have anaccurate map, the annex-

ation can’t create an islandof unannexed property andthepetitioncan’tbeamend-edorrevised, the lawdirec-tor said.

Comey also said thema-jority of the potentially an-nexed property is ownedby the Hamilton CountyPark District, which “doesnot have a voice in the an-nexation.”

John Linnenberg, an at-torney acting on behalf ofthe townships, noted sever-al parcels listed on themapthat are inconsistent withwhat is supposed to be an-nexed.

He said in particularthere is a parcel in Ander-son Township, which isownedbyLittleMiami Inc.,that is indicated on themaptobeownedby theparkdis-

trict. Little Miami Inc.hasn’t approved thatparcelfor annexation, accordingto Linnenberg.

Attorney Joe Trauth,hired by Newtown to workon the annexation process,took issue with Columbiaand Anderson townshipsfiling theirquestionson thepetition just days beforethe commissioners meet-ing. He said the village isjust now hearing objec-tions but is in “substantialcompliance,” and the pet-ition should be approved.

Trauth said this process“is not a discretionary an-nexation,” so commission-ers must approve the pet-

ition if all the criteria aremet.

“I’m sad to say this isjust a delaying matter in acontentious matter thatshouldn’t be contentious,”he said.

Commissioner Todd Por-tune said while the chal-lenges filed by the town-ships were late in the proc-ess, “it’s within the time pe-riod the law allows.”

He also said that if theannexation petition meetsthe requirements set forthby the state, it will be ap-proved by the county.

“Our hands are largelytied in this matter,” Por-tune said.

Ault Park and will com-plement the other im-provements to the square,Community CouncilPresident John Brannocksaid.

“We don’t have a sys-tematic way to managelandscaping down there,and we’re trying to have amore structured ap-proach,” he said.

“We’ll procure the ma-

terials, and we want peo-ple to volunteer to main-tain (the plots) and gardenthem for the community.”

Community Councilboard member Andy Parksaid theywant tomake thesquare more decorative,and volunteers can main-tain their own section orpartner with others.

Resident Dee Oppedi-sano has already volun-teered to take care of apiece of the square. She’san avid gardener who saidwanted to help becauseshe’s impressed with the

recent improvements.“I wanted to contribute

to the aesthetics and dowhat I could to help it de-velop into a greenspacethat people can enjoy,”Oppedisano said.

“I think (the Adopt-a-Garden) programwill addcolor and contrast andcreate some really uniquethings for (pedestrians) toenjoy while they’re mean-dering through thesquare, and it will help toenhance the overall expe-rience.”

Landscaping for the

square has traditionallybeen one of the biggestexpenses for the MountLookout CommunityCouncil, and Brannocksaid the new program willhelp with some of thosecosts and build communi-ty spirit.

The Mount Lookoutsquare revitalization tooktwo years includes newandwider sidewalks, curbbumpouts, greenspaceand several other ele-ments. The official ribboncuttingwas Oct. 27 duringthe fall festival.

Mariemont could low-er the speed limit onMad-isonville Road near Ma-riemont Elementary.

Resident Erika Turanasked about making asection of that street aschool zone, near the in-tersection with WestStreet.

“Now that themain en-trance is there, the trafficfor cars and pedestriansis high,” she said during arecent council meeting.

Though there is acrossing guard at the in-tersection, Turan saidtraffic doesn’t alwaysslow down, and it is “pret-ty intense to cross.”

Madisonville Road hasa 25 mph speed limit, andmany kids or parentscross aroundWest Street.The main entrance forMariemont Elementaryshifted from WoosterPike to West Street afterthe school district com-pleted a major construc-tion and renovation pro-ject.

Mariemont PoliceChief Rick Hines saidadding a school zone issomething that should beinvestigated, but thereare certain criteria the

village needs to meet.“Maybe with the new

entrance, thatwill changethings because it wasn’tthere before,”Hines said.

“If we can do it, I’m allfor it.”

Hines said he is notsure if the actual en-trance to the school or theschool property factorinto creatinganewschoolzone.

The school districtowns the parking lot atthe corner of West Streetand Madisonville Road,which is adjacent to thearea in question.

The Ohio Departmentof Transportation in 2010rejected the village’s re-quest to increase thelength of the school zoneon Wooster Pike. Madi-sonvilleRoad, however, isa village street and Ma-riemont officials have ju-risdiction.

There is another en-trance to Mariemont Ele-mentary on PlainvilleRoad, and Hines said thathas helped alleviate someof the traffic congestionduring drop-off and pick-up times.

Village Solicitor EdMcTigue said he’d re-search theregulations forcreating the school zone.

The College Board has namedfive 2012 graduates of The Sum-mit Country Day School and onecurrentseniorNationalAPSchol-ars. Altogether, 59 Summit stu-dentswererecognizedbytheCol-lege Board for AP Scholar recog-nitions.

Joining the select group of topU.S. students were graduatesCarolyn Boyce, Anderson Town-ship; Maddy Chandra, Madeira;Anna Delamerced, Hyde Park;Cooper Schreibeis,WestChester;and TyWahlbrink, Indian Hill; aswell as senior Alex Marcellus,Anderson Township.

Boyce is attending New YorkUniversity where she is studyingcommunications and journalism.

Chandra and Schreibeis areamong five 2012 Summit alumsnow attending the University ofNotreDame.Chandra is studyingbiology; Schreibeis is in the Let-ters Program, but has not de-clared a major.

Delamerced is attendingBrown University where she isenrolled in Liberal Medical Edu-cation and the Brown AlpertMedical School – a combinedeight-year baccalaureate/MDprogram.

Wahlbrink is at theUniversityofCincinnatiwith twootherSum-mit students who received thehighlycompetitiveCarlH.Lindn-er Honors-PLUS Scholarship.

National AP Scholar is one ofthehighest awardsmade throughthe College Board’s AdvancedPlacement program. The awardis given to students in the U.S.who receive an average score ofat least four on all AP exams tak-en and scores of four or higher oneight or more of these exams.These Summit students would bein the top5percent of all studentstaking AP courses in Ohio.

In addition to the National APScholar awards this year, theCol-legeBoarddesignated 21Summitstudents as AP Scholars, 17 as APScholars with Honor and 22 stu-dents as AP Scholars with Dis-tinction. Some88percent of Sum-mit students in the Class of 2012took college-level classesthrough the College Board Ad-vanced Placement Program.

“Ourstudents arehighachiev-

ers and they love an academicchallenge,” said Maureen Fer-rell, director of College Counsel-ing at The Summit. “We don’t cal-culate class rank here, so weknow these kids are taking theseclasses because they simply loveto learn. They have outpaced ourcollege-prep curriculum, whichis rigorous in and of itself, andelected to takemorecourses thanare required.”

Ferrellattributesthehighnum-ber of Summit students recog-nized inall theAPscholardesigna-tions to three factors: aptitude ofstudents, abundance of AP classesand dedication of faculty.

“Having five students in agraduating class of 97 be namedNational AP Scholar, plus a stu-dentwho achieved the rankwhilea junior, is really big for a schoolas small as ours,” said Ferrell.

Because thefaculty isdedicat-ed to the AP Program, The Sum-mit is able to offer 20 out of 32available AP courses. “Somesmall schools can only offer ahandful of AP courses, but wehave so many that our studentscan pick and choose the ones thatplay to their strengths,” she says.

HEBRON, Ohio — St. UrsulaAcademy’s Annie Heffernanwrapped up a remarkable sea-son with a third-place finish atthe Ohio state cross countrychampionships atNational TrailRaceway Nov. 3.

Heffernan actually ledthrough the three-mile markand into the home stretch be-fore being passed by eventualchampion Jacquelyn Crow ofLebanon.

Heffernan slipped a littlewhile making the final turn intothe homestretch but said thatwasn’t a factor in her placingthird. She didn’t qualify to lastyear’s state meet and last Janu-ary was diagnosed with an irondeficiency.

“It’s a little rough right now.The fact that it was in the last100 meters stings,” Heffernantold Gannett News Service. “Ihave been through a lot (thisyear) but my coaches and teamhave helped me through it.”

Heffernan’s time of 17 min-utes, 45.07 seconds was a per-sonal best for a runner who en-tered the state meet undefeat-ed, according to MileSplit.com.

In the nine races beforestate, Heffernan won each one,picking up a district and region-al titles along the way.

»Walnut Hills senior MarynLowry finished 28th with a timeof 18 minutes, 43.21 seconds.The time bettered her previousmark by 20 seconds.

» Seven Hills was represent-ed by senior Laura Gonzalez,who finished 44th with a markof 19 minutes, 38 seconds.

»Mariemont freshmanMad-die Renie also got a taste of thestate atmosphere and placed75th (20:11).

For the boys, Summit Coun-try Day raced to fifth-placeteam finish (out of 16 teams) atthe Division III level, led bysophomore Mason Moore, whofinished 26th with a time of 16minutes, 18 seconds.

Seneca East was crownedteam champions.

Summit competitors includ-edDaleLakes (38th,16:36), JohnMurdock (48th, 16:44), ChrisGallagher (53rd, 16:46), ConnorShaw (58th, 16:55), Will Mackey

(99th, 17:37) and Chase Lyle(104th, 17:45).

»Mariemont was also backat state and posted a 13th-placeteam finish.

The Warriors were paced byfreshman Charlie Jordan, whofinished 36th (16:35).

HYDE PARK — Summit edgedout Lewisburg Triad 35-27 for anopening-round playoff win Nov.3, but that outcome didn’t lookimminent after the SilverKnights fell into a 12-0 hole tostart the game.

Summit bounced back whenquarterbackAntonioWoods con-nected with C.J. Suggs on a 64-yard touchdown pass with lessthan a minute to play in the sec-ond quarter.

Both teams traded shots andSummit trailed 27-21 going into

the fourth quarter.That’s when Summit line-

backer Brooks Taylor strippedthe ball and took it all the wayinto the end zone for six points.TheKnights’ took the lead on theextra point and never had tocome from behind again.

Woods threw for three touch-downs and added another withhis legs.

Summit (11-0) will play Co-vington in the Division V Region20 semifinals at Centerville Sta-dium Saturday, Nov. 10. Kickoffis scheduled for 7 p.m.

BLUE ASH — Not even theremnants of Hurricane Sandywoulddeter thegirls of theUrsu-lineAcademy field hockey team.

Byoustingarchrival St.Ursu-la from the Southwestern OhioField Hockey League Playoffs,the Lions secured their first tripto the state final four since 2001.

That’s why dreary skies, driz-zling rain and gusting windscouldn’t dampen theLions’moodat one of their last practices be-fore embarking on Dublin, Ohio,the site of the tournament, Oct.30.

“We’ve been wanting to get(to the final four) since the be-ginning of the season,” said sen-ior midfield Morgan Basile ofMontgomery.

The Lions’ march toward a ti-tle came up short with a 4-0 lossto Columbus Academy, Nov. 2,but the defeat doesn’t diminishwhat the Lions accomplished.

Together, the Lionsmake up agroup of girls who have bondedthrough the sport— and throughfieldhockey, the rosterbecameatrue team.

Senior center midfielderGrace Robertson of SymmesTownship recalled a summerseminar in which members ofthe team shared personal sto-ries.

That experience helped thegirls build lasting bonds.

“We have chemistry…andwe’re really good friends on andoff the field,” Robertson said.“We’ve come together both sen-iors and juniors and our onesophomore. It’s really been agood mix…”

With Louisville CollegiateSchool — a Kentucky power-house — scheduled for Ursu-line’s season opener; it didn’ttake long for the Lions to flextheir tightly knit muscle.

Head coach Elli Workum andcompany forgeda4-1win and setthe stage for a memorable sea-

son.The victory was significant

because just a season ago, Ursu-

line fell to Louisville, 6-1.It’s for that reason many

girls, including forward JessieEwan of Loveland, didn’t knowhow the game would play out.

But when the Lions came outon top, Ewan knew the Lionswere something special.

“(After the Louisville win), Ijust thought, ‘Wow,’ this is a real-lygoodteam,”shesaid. “I think itwas like the a-ha moment for usthat we realized we had a goodteam and could go places.”

The Lions were so dominanton their road to state — theydidn’t lose. Heading into thestate final four, Ursuline’s rec-ord stood at 17-0-1.

Teams are ultimately definedby their wins and losses, butmembers of the Lions will al-ways have the memories.

“I’ll definitely remember allthegirls on the team,” saidgoalieAbby Meehan of Mainville.“We’re always there with eachother and we’re always theresupporting each other.”

WALNUT HILLS — Despite anew league, difficult scheduleand untimely injuries, theWalnutHills girls soccer team finished asuccessful season as Division Idistrict runner-up.

The Lady Eagles season cameto a close Oct. 27 at Centervillewith a 3-1 loss. It came after post-season victories over Colerainand Oak Hills from the GreaterMiami Conference.

Walnut Hills came into thetournament winning just one oftheir final five regular seasongames. The first four games ofthemonthwere losses toMilford,Mount Notre Dame, Turpin andLoveland. All four squads had no-table tournament runs.

“I normally like a tough sched-ule,” Walnut Hills coach BobMu-ro said. “It just prepares the girlsfor better competition andmakesthem better all-around.”

Finishing 9-7-3 was remark-able considering the health obsta-cles the Lady Eagles faced.

Junior defenderMorgan Shaf-er was injured and didn’t returnuntil late in the year. When shedid,Muroestimates shewasplay-ing at 60 percent. SophomoreScout LaCoe and freshman Lau-ren Richardson also didn’t returnto the Lady Eagles defense untillate in the year. While they wereout, junior Gabrielle Brokamphadtomovetodefenseaftermiss-ing time herself. Offensively, ju-nior forward Alexis Kiehl didn’treturn to the lineup until October.

“She was our second-leadingscorer last year,” Muro said.“We’renot ahigh-scoring teambyanymeans.”

In between the physical ail-ments, Walnut Hills competed

and had a 6-2-3 mark before thefour-game October skid. The La-dy Eagles were led in scoring byjunior Kat Cheng, sophomoreTaylor Darks and junior KaitlynnKiehl.

With nine juniors and eightsophomores on the squad, Muroonly loses four seniors and a for-eign exchange student off of thisyear’s team. Walnut Hills seniorswere Clarisse Wean, LinneaKremer, Aliya Siddiqi andKelseyCornett.

“Nextyear shouldbeavery in-teresting year,” Muro said. “Thecore of the team is back for afourth year. We had five fresh-men that started as freshmen andtheywill all be seniors next year.”

Among those back will be cur-rent sophomore goalkeepers Oli-via Grondin and Maddie Krebs.

The two alternated games in thebox forWalnut Hills.

The platoonworkedwell.“Neither one of them was

stronger than the other one,”Mu-ro said. “Both had superb years.There were only two gameswhere we gave up three goals.”

Looking ahead, Muro wouldlike to duplicate what the WalnutHills boys did in 2012 and win anEasternCincinnatiConference ti-tle in 2013.

Considering the schools in theleague, it would be quite an ac-complishment.

“It better prepares us thatthey’re all tournament-boundteams,” Muro said of the ECC.“I’mverypleasedwiththe league.With the parity in Cincinnati now,there’s in essence no easy gameout there.”

Like every school district,we at Mariemont City Schoolswould like to ensure that every

person, everychild that en-ters our build-ings feels wel-come and safe.As a result, weare increasingour focus onbullying pre-vention begin-ning this schoolyear and con-tinually as anintegral part of

who we are and what we do forour students.

According to a study con-ducted by the National Associa-

tion of School Psychologists,bullying is the most commonform of violence in our society;between 15 percent and 30 per-cent of students are bullies orvictims. This is unacceptable.Wemust do everything in ourpower to provide a secure andpositive environment for all ofour students to reach their fullpotential as scholars of todayand leaders of tomorrow.

Historically, we have ad-dressed bullying preventionthrough successful programs atall levels in our district, but wehave not developed a coordinat-ed and systematic K-12 ap-proach to bullying preventionthat is based upon our own data.Beginning this school year we

are taking the following steps:We will form school building

committees, including parents,staff and students, at each lev-el;

We will survey studentsanonymously to gather data onbullying issues in our district;

We will develop specificprograms to address the identi-fied issues;

We will implement a 24-houranonymous bullying reportingsystem (both online and viatelephone);

We will provide online re-sources; and

We will offer student, staffand parent training to educateeveryone on this critical topic.

OnMonday, Oct. 22, the en-

tire Mariemont City SchoolDistrict staff began the sched-uled staff-training day with twohours of bullying preventiontraining, which serves as thefoundation for our efforts.According to NASP, over two-thirds of students believe thatschools respond poorly to bully-ing, with a high percentage ofstudents believing that adulthelp is infrequent and ineffec-tive. This perception has tostop. We are taking steps togather data from our own dis-trict students and on Tuesday,Oct. 23 all students participatedin an online survey to gatherbaseline data on bullying in theMariemont City School District.Based upon the results of that

survey, detailed plans for theschool year will be developedthrough the building commit-tees.

Our increased district-widebullying prevention efforts willrequire the participation andcommitment of students, par-ents, educators and members ofthe community. The preventionof bullying cannot be a one-yearfocus – wemust remain persis-tently vigilant and work togeth-er to maintain a safe and posi-tive environment for all of ourchildren to ensure they canthrive academically, socially,physically and emotionally.

Paul Imhoff is superintendent ofMariemont City Schools.

Mariemont to prevent bullies

If walking down the stairs,taking a shower or even enter-ing the house becomes diffi-cult for you or someone you

love, it may betime to createa plan to keepyour home asafe place tolive.

In Hamil-ton Countyalone, falls arethe third lead-ing cause ofinjury-relateddeaths amongsenior adults

over 65. And the chances offalling and being seriouslyinjured in a fall increase withage.

Seniors in our communitywant to stay in the comfort oftheir home where they havelived for a long time, in neigh-borhoods they cherish. Inorder to remain safely in thehome, it’s essential to developa solid plan now to allow abetter chance to control thequality of life and independ-ence, before circumstancessuddenly change.

A good first step is to con-sult a certified aging in placespecialist to help and offerconnection to other servicesand partners that may beneeded. This is also an oppor-tunity to lessen the burden onfamily members by outlininghow needs will be met.

Some of the decisions toconsider include:

»How long you plan toremain at home.

» If you need major homeremodeling or just a fewchanges, like ramps or grabbars.

» The quality and price ofthe home modifications youmay need.

»What your wishes are formajor life events like suddenillness or disability.

» Personal support (balanc-ing work and family responsi-bilities of care giving).

Unsure of where to start?

First, start at the curb andconsider how you enter thehome. Next, walk through yourhouse or the home of a lovedone to assess risk factors andways to prevent them. Hereare some quick tips:

Make sure the entrance iswell lit. Review how easy it isto enter or exit the home,especially for people withmobility issues.

Consider adding a ramp tohelp with access but be sure tofollow your local building code.

Ensure proper lightingthroughout the house bothinside and outside. Add auto-on lighting in the hallways andbathrooms.

Clear unnecessary clutterfrom any walking areas insideand outside the home.

Add grab bars, tub matts,and non-skid matts in and nextto the tub and shower.

Install a flip-down grab baror floor-to-ceiling pole next tothe toilet.

Add a hand-held showerwand and holder, adjustableseat and safety rails.

Consider replacing existinghinges with off-set hinges tocreate wider doorways; replacedoor knobs with levers.

Use a step stool with ahandle to reach in cabinets.

Keep frequently useditems in a drawer or easy toreach area.

Remove loose carpet orrugs that can cause trips.

The statistics are startling.Every 15 seconds, an olderadult is seen in an emergencydepartment for a fall-relatedinjury. The good news is youcan help prevent falling andother safety risks by taking afew simple steps to keep your-self or an older adult in yourlife safe.

Oct. 31 questionDoes the release of the Boys

Scouts’ “perversion” fileschange the way you feel aboutthe group? Do you the think thegroup adequately protects thesafety of its members? Why orwhy not?

“In my opinion no group thatis male dominated is safe. Good‘Ole Boys protect Good ‘OleBoys. However I feel that theyhave tried to handle it (now thatit has been exposed) in an openway. Too bad that while it washappening they could not followtheir own oath:

“‘On my honor, I will do mybest

‘To domy duty to God andmycountry and to obey the ScoutLaw;

‘To help other people at alltimes;

‘To keep myself physicallystrong, mentally awake andmorally straight.’”

“I think the same thing I thinkabout priest abuse, teacherabuse, and any other thing youmight put into this catagory ...those in power eventually think

that they’re in a special class,unaccountable to anyone butthemselves. And the sad thing isthat no one seems to have themorals to stop it until they’recaught.

“I have a high respect for theBoy Scouts in general. It onlytakes one bad apple to ruin thewhole bunch. Case in point is theCatholic church, Penn State andeven Bill Clinton. What amazesme is that no one seems to listento the victims until it’s too late.While everyone is to be assumedinnocent until proven guilty, aninvestigation should be immedi-ately begun, and the proper au-thorities notified and involved.

“The only good thatwill comeof the exposure of these papersis that the victims may havesome closure, and future claimsof abuse will be investigated.”

Drivers on Wooster Pike wereno doubt surprised recently to seetheBigBoystatueatFrisch’sMain-liner in Fairfax dressed in an un-likely early Halloween costume –as a Busken baker.

Theprank is the latestattack inathree-year “pie war” between thetwo local companies, which be-come competitors each autumn asthey vie for local pumpkin pie dol-lars.

“Frisch’s first attack was in2010,” said Busken CEO Dan Bus-ken. “I was pulling out of the Rook-wood shopping center and therewas a huge (Frisch’s) pumpkin piehovering over the (Busken) build-ing that said, ‘Hello, Pumpkin.’”

Karen Maier, vice president ofmarketing for Frisch’s, said thatwhen she bought the billboard, shehad no idea where it would appear.

“When it first appeared there(above the Madison Road Busken),I was as surprised as they were,”she said.

That billboard sparked a friend-ly back-and-forth between Bus-ken’s banner and Frisch’s billboardthat continued not only that yearbut in 2011 as well.

This year, Frisch’s got things offto an early start – and upped theante.About threeweeksago, repre-sentatives fromFrisch’smarketingcommunications firm, PowersAgency, gave the “Count Calories”banner advertising Busken’s Hal-loween Skinny Cookie a makeover.“Calories” became “Pies,” and thecookie was decked out to look likeBig Boy.

To retaliate, Busken and hisbrother, vice president of market-ing Brian Busken, donned skimasksandgave theMainliner’sBigBoy their own makeover, changingthe outside sign to go with it.

Maier, who admitted the stuntwas “very clever,” said Mainlineremployeeswill dress theBigBoy inhisBuskencostumeeverydayuntilHalloween.

“This is just about fun,” Maiersaid. “What both of us want to do issell pies.”

“It will always be friendly fire,”agreed Busken. “We’d never doanything to hurt their brand or viceversa.”

Who will come out on top?Frisch’s sells more pumpkin pies –more than 90,000 whole pies andmore than 900,000 slices annually,Maier said. Busken sells 2,500-3,000 pumpkin pies for Thanksgiv-ing and about 6,000 annually, Bus-ken said.

Busken maintains that Frisch’shas met its match when it comes topranks.

“We’ve told all of our employeesthat Frisch’s is messing with thewrong people,” Busken said. “Bri-an and I have being doing prankssince ourhigh school days, sowe’redefinitely going to come out ontop.”

Fat chance, according to Maier.“I can’t imagine letting some

cookie baker be better at this thanus,” she said.

Thanksgiving count-down begins! The one tipI’ll be sharing over andover is about thawingfrozen turkey.

Think ahead! If youthaw incorrectly, bacteriawill grow. That’s because

bacteria’sfavoritetemper-ature isabout roomtemper-ature, 60 to70 degrees.If you’rethawingturkey onthe kitchencounter, the

outside will thaw fairlysoon, but the inside willstill be frozen.

Best temperature forthawing turkey? Around40 degrees, which is thetemperature in your frig.Keep turkey in originalwrapping, put in pan tocatch moisture and allow24 hours thawing time forevery 5 pounds. If youforget, put packaged tur-key in cold water andchange water every 30minutes to keep it cold.Count on 30 minutes thaw-ing time per pound.

Before roasting, checkcavities and pull out thepouch of giblets. (The firsttime I roasted a turkey, Ididn’t know to check, andit was not a pretty sightwhen they slipped out,intact in pouch, afterroasting). If you’re wor-ried you won’t haveenough, roast a breastalong with the whole tur-key. That gives you morewhite meat plus extras.

Remember to focus onblessings, and put burdensin God’s hands. That’swhere they belong, any-way. Whether your table isladen with gourmet foodor a simple buffet, knowthat contentment is not thefulfillment of what youdesire, but the realizationof howmuch you alreadyhave. My childhood friendAnn Rudloff, a NorthernKentucky reader, told meyears ago: “The mostimportant things in lifeare not ‘things.’”

Braised rootvegetables

This is one of my favor-ite sides to serve duringthe fall, since wintersquash and root veggiesare in season.

1 large sweet potato2 regular potatoes1winter squash (I likebutternut)

1 large carrot2 turnips or parsnips4 nice big leeks, white partonly

2 beets1 head garlic, separated intocloves and peeled

1⁄2 to 1 stick butter1⁄2 to 3⁄4 cup dark brown sugar

or to taste1⁄2 teaspoon ea: dried sage,oregano, thyme,rosemary, basil

Preheat oven to 350.Peel and cut vegetablesinto 2-inch pieces. Heatbutter in large ovenproofpan with lid. Add sugarand herbs and stir untilsugar is dissolved. Addvegetables and garlic.Place in oven for 40-60minutes until tender. Ad-just seasonings.

Tip: Peeling squash:Poke holes with fork allover. Microwave on high acouple of minutes. Usemitts to remove. Cool andpeel.

Cranberrycelebration saladlike Kroger

This is in my “recipehall of fame.” I can’t tellyou howmany requests Iget for this each year.Kroger’s salad has a loosetexture, and the followingrecipes replicated this.

Marilyn Hoskin’scranberrycelebration salad

Try substituting cherrygelatin if you like.

15 oz crushed pineapple,drained – save juice

1⁄2 cup cranberry juice2 tablespoons lemon juice1 pkg, 3 oz, raspberrygelatin

15 oz can whole cranberrysauce

1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts1⁄2 cup celery, chopped (opt

but good)

Boil pineapple, cran-berry and lemon juicetogether. Add gelatin.Remove from heat and stirin cranberries. Put infridge till almost set. Addpineapple, nuts and celery.

GinnyMoorehouse’scranberrycelebration salad.

“I’ve been making thisfor years for my family”,Ginny said.

1pkg cherry or strawberrygelatin

1 cup boiling liquid: 1/2 cupea orange juice and water

1-3⁄4 cups cranberry sauce,jelled type

1 cup diced celery (opt butgood)

1⁄2 cup chopped walnuts3⁄4 cup crushed drainedpineapple

Dissolve gelatin inboiling liquid. Add cran-berry sauce and blend.When it starts to congeal,add other ingredients.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

“Gray/blooming” choc-olate. Temperaturechanges can sometimesmake the surface look abit gray. That’s called“blooming” and means thecocoa butter or fat in thechocolate has worked itsway to the surface. It’sstill perfectly safe to eat,and when melted, willregain sheen.

UNITED METHODIST

When you hire a con-tractor to do workaround your house, howmuch money should youpay that person upfront?

Often, contractors askfor 50 percent or morebefore they’ll do any-thing. But, that’s not onlya bad idea for the home-owner, it may even beillegal.

Robin Lippelmanwanted to fix up herClifton home earlier thisyear. In March, she hireda contractor to remove aporch from the left frontof her home. She saysthat went well.

“When he demolishedthe porch, it was discov-

ered mymain porchhad liter-ally just aninch ofconcrete insomeplaces. Itwas goingto col-lapse,”Lippelman

said.So, Lippelman hired

the same contractor to domore work. “I contractedwith him to do the mainporch and he asked formoney ahead – which,unfortunately, I did givehim. He came and demol-ished the porch and then

I didn’t see him again,except off and on for anhour at a time,” she said.

According to the con-tract, Lippelman paid thecontractor more than$6,700 upfront. There’sjust $1,750 due at thecompletion of the porch –so the contractor re-ceived most of his moneybefore he ever startedwork.

“I continually stayedin touch with him, calledhim, asked him when hewas going to finish theproject and received amyriad of excuses,” Lip-pelman said. That wenton for three months,during which Lippelman

had to use the back doorof her house because thefront door porch was fullof debris.

Finally, Lippelmanhired an attorney whogave the contractor adeadline to complete thework and, when it wasn’tdone, fired him. She’snow hired another com-pany to complete the job– but still hasn’t beenable to get her moneyback from the first man.

Under the city of Cin-cinnati home remodelingordinance, a contractoris not allowed to collectmore than 10 percent ofthe money upfront. Inaddition, the company

must give a written con-tract containing the startand completion dates.Having the completiondate in writing makes it alot easier to determinewhen a company haswalked off the job.

Lippelman says, “Thishas been following mefor so many months Iwould like to see someform of justice done.” So,I had her contact Cincin-nati Police because of thealleged violations ofCincinnati’s home remod-eling ordinance.

In the meantime, Icalled the contractor whoclaimed he never walkedoff the job – but admitted

having problems gettingthe work finished. Hesays he’s willing to repaythe money and has nowset up a payment sched-ule with Lippelman toavoid possible criminalprosecution.

Bottom line, even ifyou don’t live in the cityof Cincinnati, I suggestyou follow these sameguidelines in order toprotect yourself.

COLUMBIA TWP. —There’s a newrestaurant inColumbia Township, and italready has dedicated fol-lowers.

Jack in the Box, 5234Ridge Ave., opened its sec-ond Cincinnati area loca-tion in Columbia TownshipNov. 29. Doors opened at 9a.m. and patrons were of-fered door prizes beforeplacing their orders.

Manager Deondre Per-ry said it’s great finally tohave the doors open. Hestarted with the companyin January, and workers atthe township location havebeen trained in other loca-tions outside of Ohio andalso helped open the WestChester location in mid-September.

“We got to gel togetherand work as a team,” hesaid.

Perrysaidheexpects therestaurant to remain busy

long after the first day isover, thanks to “an exten-sive, affordable menu.”

Clifton resident Mi-chael Southern said he’sbeen waiting for the grandopening since driving pastseveralmonths ago and no-ticing the construction. Heimmediately notifiedfriends to put Oct. 29 ontheir calendars.

Joel Russo said heplanned on purchasing therestaurant’s “bacon shake,”though the item is currentlynot available in Ohio. How-ever, he, Southern andfriend Jason Cunninghamstill arrived to watch therestaurant, which is open 24hours a day, unlock its doorsfor the first time.

“We saw them unlockthe door that will never belocked again,” Cunning-ham said.

Avondale resident ObiMack said he’s been wait-ing for Jack in the Box,mostly due to the restau-rant chain’s presence onthe airwaves.

“I’ve seen the commer-cials for the last 10 yearswith no place to go,” he said.

Mackbrought his friendMike Gaynor to the grandopening, and both said theyplan on coming back regu-larly.

‘Jack’ opens inColumbia Twp.By Rob [email protected]

On its first day, Jack in the Box packed in customers at itsColumbia Township location. The restaurant, which is open24 hours a day, serves breakfast all day and offers a widerange of items. ROB DOWDY/ THE COMMUNITY PRESS
