West Clermont votes to retain legal counselUNION TWP— . Legal counsel

for West Clermont will remainunchanged for now.

During a September schoolboardmeeting, boardmembersvoted toretainBrickerandEck-ler Attorneys at Law.

Thematter of changing legalcounsel had been under discus-sion for a number of months.

During the February meet-ing, then-board member MarkMerchant, who died May 14,

asked the boardto considerchanging legalcounsel for thedistrict.

Although thedecision at thetime was sup-ported by board

President Tina Sanborn andboard member Jim Lewis,board members Tammy Brink-man and Steve Waldmann op-posed the recommendation.

During the summer a com-mittee was formed to review

the matter. Lewis had proposedanother firm, Finney Law FirmLLC.

The vote during the Sept. 8meeting was 4 to 1 to retainBricker and Eckler with Lewiscasting the only opposing vote.

Sanborn, who ended up vot-ingwith themajority, explainedher rationale for originallywanting a change. She said shehad wanted a law firm with “anew, fresh perspective” and atthe time wasn‘t sure “maintain-ing the status quo” was the bestcourse of action for the district.

Lewis expressed a similarsentiment saying he wantedFinney Law Firm to be legalcounsel to help the districtmove in a different direction.

Boardmembers cited Brick-er and Eckler’s experience inschool law as a factor in retain-ing them, adding that FinneyLaw Firm’s legal expertise wasin other areas.

New board member JohnBantjes,whowas selected to fillMerchant’s seat, said he had re-viewed proposals for both legalfirms.

“Briocker and Eckler (are)well-versed in school law,” hesaid.

Waldmann agreed, addingthat Finney Law Firm was “notqualified in meeting the needsof this district.”

Brinkman said continuing touseBrickerandEcklerwasalsomore cost effective.

During the meeting, theboard also selected Bantjes toserve as vice president of theboard. Bantjes said his positionis “tomove forward as a unifiedboard.”

It’s true. Regular oil changes, tune-ups and maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s performance and gas

mileage, extend its life and increase its resale value. It can also help reduce traffic congestion due to preventable

breakdowns. But possibly most important of all, taking good care of your car could help reduce emissions by

more than half. And that should make you breathe a lot easier between oil changes. So keep it up because…

Pierce Township resi-dent Bill Palmer askedand the community hasreceived.

Palmer recently chal-lenged township officialsto give a detailed ac-countingofhowtheyplanto spend the some$937,000 annually that a2.8-mill fire levywill gen-erate if voters approve itin November.

“I would like to knowhowmuch of this 937K isgoing for pay increasesorhiringandhowmuchisgoing to be set aside forthe new equipment,”Palmer wrote in a letterto the editor sent to theCommunity Press.

“I for one want detailson how this money is go-ing to be spent before Iwill vote for this levy.”

Pierce Township Ad-ministrator Tim Hershn-er said township officialsare happy to break downhow they’d like to spendtheproceedsofasuccess-ful levy, which will costresidents an additional$98 for every $100,000 oftheir homes’ market val-ue annually.

“Pierceresidentshavebeen very engaged andinquisitive about the pro-posed levy and rightfullyso,” Hershner said.

“These are difficult fi-nancial times for every-one and the Pierce team–elected officials, resi-dents and staff – areworking hard tomaintaina high level of service for

the leastamount ofcost.

“Theproposed2.8-millfire levy isanticipat-ed to cov-

er the Pierce TownshipFire Department ex-penses through 2019, in-cluding the loss of reve-nue from the closing ofBeckjord power plant,”Hershner said.

Specifically,Hershnersaid, the money would bespent on:

»A new fire enginecosting about $500,000.

The fire departmentoperates a 2008 fire pum-per and a 2002 fire pum-per, which are backed upby a 1991 reserve firepumper.

Hershner said the re-serve pumper is unreli-able and national stan-dards say should be re-moved from servicewithin thenext twoyears.

»One or two new am-bulances costing about$200,000 each. The firedepartment owns oneambulance with morethan 100,000 miles on itand a second with morethan 70,000 miles on it.

»Raising the salaryfor part-time firefight-ers, costing more than$50,000 annually.

Part-time PierceTownship firefighter/emergencymedical tech-nicians earn $9 an hourandpart-time firefighter/paramedics $11 an hour,making them the lowest

and the third lowest, re-spectively, paid in Cler-mont County, Hershnersaid.

“Due to the require-ments of mandatedhealth care reform, wemust make operationalchanges in howweutilizepart-time employees,”Hershner said.

“Additionally, the firedistrict is having a diffi-cult time finding individ-uals to hire due to our lowpay rate.

“Part-time startingpay needs to be raised inorder to place us more inline with other ClermontCounty fire depart-ments,” Hershner said.

If the fire departmentfails to attractmore part-time firefighters,Hershner said, it mayhave to hire more full-time firefighters.

If three full-time fire-fighter/emergency medi-cal technicians had to behired, it would cost about$220,400 annually fortheir salary and benefits,Hershner said.

»One or two new staffcars costing about$40,000.00 each.

»Replacement fire-fighter gear and SCBA(self-contained breathingapparatus) bottles cost-ing about $30,000 annual-ly.

»A new, energy-effi-cient furnace for the fire-house on Locust CornerRoad costing about$20,000. It would replacean obsolete oil furnaceoriginal to the buildingconstructed in 1964.

NO APPOINTMENTNECESSARYBeginning at 9 a.m.

One year ago, Chris Dunnewas a McNicholas High Schoolfreshman playing in his firstKing of the Hill golf tourna-ment. He was one of a trio offreshmen who teamed withthree seniors to bring the cham-pionship to McNick. This sea-son, the sophomore keyed theRockets’ defense of the trophy,leadingMcNick toa lowscoreof152 to defeat neighborhood ri-vals Anderson and Turpin onSept. 10. It is just the program’sthird King of the Hill title in thematch’s 19-year history.

“Winning theKing of theHillmeans a lot to these threesquads,” Rockets head coachJustin Lenczicki said. “It waspretty amazing for our guys toreally step up against a lot ofboys they grew up with.”

Dunne led thewaywith a lowscore of 33. Anderson’s squadposted a season-best score of160, while Turpin shot a 167. An-derson was led by Jack Nor-dloh’s 39. Connor Lambert ledTurpin, also with a 39. Dunne’slow round impressed everyoneatColdstreamCountryClubthatday.

“That is the best round I haveseen inmyeightyearsatKingofthe Hill,” Anderson head coachDavid Lunn said.

Dunne, a Pierce Townshipresident, admitted to feelingsome nerves in his first King ofthe Hill as a freshman. Thatlearning experience helped himget ready for this year’s battle.He entered this year’s editionwith a better understanding ofwhatKingof theHill representsfor the Anderson Township ri-vals.

“It means a lot to whatever

school takes away thewin,” saidDunne. “It makes you feel goodto win it. It means a lot to all thevarsity teams of all threeschools.”

After winning the trophy forjust the second time ever in2013, the Rockets were deter-minedtodefendtheircrown.Af-ter learning the ropes from lastyear’s seniors, this year’s youngsquad -the Rockets feature sixsophomoreswith just one juniorand one senior - knows what ittakes to win a high-stakesmatch.

“They saw that McNickhasn’t been on that trophymuch,” Lenczicki said. “It wasdefinitely a point of emphasis tokeep our name on that trophythis year.”

Dunne entered the tourna-ment in a bit of a slump. Hisshortgamehasalwaysbeenreli-able,buthestillhasworktodotoget to the green. Once he getsthere, he is one of the best in hisclass. The key will be drivingand hitting irons more consis-tently. His performance at theKing of the Hill will give him a

boost going forward.“Knowing that I can go that

low and shoot thatwell will defi-nitely helpme as I get ready forthe postseason,” said Dunne.“Playing with upperclassmenand knowing that I’m younger, Ithinkabouthowmuch longer I’llbe hitting itwhen I’m their age.”

AMELIA—With an undefeat-edrecordnearing themidpointof the season, Amelia HighSchool’s girls soccer team iswell on theirway toeclipse lastseason’s 12-win output.

When you factor in defend-ing Southern Buckeye Confer-ence-American DivisionCoach of the Year Amy Kem-mer (shared with New Rich-mond’s Chris Malotke) losing11 seniors, including Player ofthe Year Madison Terry toNorthern Kentucky Univer-sity, it’s even more amazing.

Of the 11 graduated seniorsof 2013, seven were all-leagueplayers. Three seniors are cur-rently on the roster and two ju-niors.Therest of theLadyBar-ons are sophomores and fresh-men.

“We’re a little young so Iwas a little hesitant this pre-season,” Kemmer said. “Iwasn’t surehowwell theyweregoing to click. As it continuedon, they really started to click.We started off the year beatinga tough opponent in Madeira.We surprised them a little bitand they weren’t able to comeback as we had them 3-0 at thehalf.”

Prior to the opening winover a one-time state champi-on, Kemmer’s Lady Baronsalso fared well in scrimmageswith larger schools likeWalnutHills, Kings and Seton.

“They’re veryunselfish andwork together very well,”Kemmer said. “Our ball move-ment is getting better and bet-ter.”

Helping overcome the lossof11seniorswas thepromotionof a junior varsity team thatwentunbeaten last fall.Now,10

sophomores and six freshmenare either waiting in the wingsor contributingwith theupper-classmen.

“They’ve lived up to expec-

tations and more,” Kemmersaid. “(Sophomore) AllyBrown is one of the top scorersand her sister (Abby) is a de-fender.Marissa Stone is a four-year player and she’s playingcenter mid. But, it’s been anoverall team effort.”

At presstime, Ally Brownwas the city’s top scorer, withStone in the top 25. Amelia hasbeen through theAmericanDi-vision once winning by a cum-ulative score of 32-1. However,league dominance is nothingnew to Kemmer.

What she’s after is a post-season run.

“We keep getting in the sec-ond round,” Kemmer said.“Twoyearsagowe lost toUrsu-line, who got to regionals. Lastyear we lost to Mason, whowent to the state finals.”

Sprinkled in with Amelia’sleague schedule are non-con-ference games with Little Mi-ami, Loveland and Wyoming,which should provide addition-alchallenge.Kemmeralsocau-tionshergirls oncomplacency.

“We respect the people inour league,” she said. “Wehavea targetonourback.This isourfifth year in the league and (todate) we haven’t lost a game.”

Part of it could come fromsome tough love coaching andthe ability to print a mantra ona t-shirt. The back of Amelia’swarm-up shirts reads, “Suck itup Princess.”

The collective princessesoff of Clough Pike apparentlyhave as they transcend a win-ning attitude with laughter be-fore and after games and anall-business demeanor for the80minutes they’re on the field.

“They’re motivated to si-lence the naysayers and getsome more respect,” Kemmersaid.

Under sunny skies atPenn Station Stadium, theMcNicholas Rocketswent to 3-0 on Saturdaywith a 27-16 win over theWyoming Cowboys.

They are the ChicagoCubs of east side prepfootball.

Though the Rocketshave no lights and playday games, there’s usual-ly plenty of electricityamong the fans clad ingreen. CoachMike Orlan-do’s crew is tied with Ba-din in the Greater Catho-lic League Central Divi-sion, largely behind oneof the league-leadingrushers in Sean Byrne.

The 182-pound seniorset the tone of the gamewith a 69-yard touchdownearly and followed thatwith a 5-yard scoringrumble before the firstquarter had ended.

“We’re hanging ourhaton him,” Orlando said.“He’s low, compact andhas pretty solid hips andrear end and it’s tough forguys to get a good grip onhim.”

Sophomore kickerCole Carmosino added apair of second quarterfieldgoals togiveMcNicka 20-0 halftime lead.

In the thirdstanza, sen-ior quarterback Luke Sul-ken hit junior Ben Rob-erts from 2-yards out andtheRocketswent to the fi-nal quarter up 27-0.

Wyoming sophomorequarterback AndrewMarty threw touchdownpasses under the five-minute mark to seniorsOliver Reinecke and

Duke Brunke as the Cow-boys avoided their firstshutout since 2006againstMcNicholasback-ups.

McNicholas has ahome game with 2-1 Pur-cell Marian Sept. 20.

PLAY OF THE GAME:Sean Byrne’s 69-yard trotin the opening quarter.

McNick football shinesagainst Wyoming CowboysBy Scott Springersspringer@communitypress.com

SYMMES TWP. — Theycome by their image le-gitimately, but the imageisn’t everything.

The Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy foot-ball team may be knownfor its offense, but theEagles employed astaunch defense to dis-patch visiting New Rich-mond, 28-6 Sept. 12 in thethird week of the Ohioprep football season.

“I chuckle, becausepeople immediately as-sociate CHCA with of-fense,” said head coachEric Taylor. “That’s beensomething since long be-fore I got here. But I lookatourdefenseandI thinkwe gave up about 50points in the regular sea-son last year. The yearbefore that,maybe 60. Soour defense is prettygood.”

Good enough to startthe scoring against NewRichmond when Eaglessenior defensive backJon Allen picked off a Li-ons pass on the fourthplay of their first posses-sion and returned it 30yards for a touchdown.

Junior quarterbackJohnnyNoyenfoundsen-ior Cam Murray fortouchdowns of 54 andeight yards in the secondperiod to build a 21-0 leadat the half. CHCA im-proved to 3-0 with thewin, while New Rich-mond slipped to 1-2.

NewRichmondput to-gether a sustained driveto the Eagles 15 to open

the second half, but theCHCA defensive linethwarted a fourth-and-one attempt.

TheEagleswent threeand out on the ensuingpossession and the Lionsfinally put together ascoringdrivewhen soph-omore Gage KramerfoundTyler Anderson upthe left side for a touch-down with 4:18 to play inthe third quarter.

But even then, the Ea-gles defense shone,blocking the extra pointattempt.

“We fought adversityfrom the opening snap,”New Richmond headcoach Josh Stratton toldhis team in a postgamehuddle. “That’s thethemeof this team, fight-ing adversity. We toldyou to keep swinging andyou did. I’m proud of youfor that.

“I think we’re a betterteam right now - eventhough we lost - than wewere at 7 o’clock. Ourgoal is to win the SBAACchampionship, and wecan still do that. I think ifwe can win our league,we’ll be playing week 11.

Back to the image.Taylor said the offenseplayed well, too.

“What I love aboutthis team iswe have fourreceivers who are greatby themselves, but whomake up a strong corpstogether,” he said. “Thenwe have (junior James)Deaton at running backand Noyen, who is likehaving two backs. So thisteamcantrulytakewhat-evertheotherteamgives

us.”CHCA goes on the

road to open Miami Val-ley Conference play atNewMiamiSept.19.NewRichmondheads home tohost Batavia.

PLAY OF THE GAME:Cam Murray’s eight-yard touchdown recep-tion with 22 seconds leftin the first half.

CHCA missed a 42-yard field goal attemptwith 2:44 left in the halfto turn the ball over toNew Richmond on itsown 20. The Eaglesburned two timeouts inan effort to get the ballback with decent fieldposition. The gamblepaid off asMurray brokefree into the right flat,made the catch and ranthe last six yards for thescore.

STAR OF THE GAME:No surprise - Cam Mur-ray.Hehad10 receptionsfor 106 yards, includingtouchdown catches of 54and eight yards, as wellasa31-yardTDrun in thefourth quarter.

VIEW FROM THESIDELINES: CHCA hasbeen a pass-happy pro-gram so far this year, de-spite a new quarterbackin junior Johnny Noyen.

The Eagles averaged338yards of total offensein their first two games,more than 302 of thosecoming through the air.Noyen was 22-for-34passing good for 198yards in game three. Headded two TD passes tothe seven touchdown hethrew the first twoweeks.

Want shorter trip? Move closerHere is a wonderfully sim-

ple solution to all of the peoplewhining about traffic on stateRoute 32 and the need for arelocated state Route 32 “East-ern Corridor” project to moveforward. Ready? Move toHamilton County or quit com-plaining.

You have selected to locateyour home or business in Cler-mont County. God bless you. Itis a fine place. You have lowertaxes, a more rural way of lifeand all the elbow room a per-son could need.

I have chosen to live in Ma-riemont. I pay outrageouslyhigh taxes and barely fit twocars into a driveway on a post-age stamp lot. I do have my

convenience tothe city andshared greenspace with myneighbors, andfor that I amgrateful.

I needsomeone tonow pleaseenlighten meon what gives

you the right to pave over mylimited green space so you canhave an easier commute foryourself or your goods to theurban core fromwhich youhave chosen to distance your-self?There are many amazingresidential and commercialproperties in classic Cincinnati

neighborhoods and more com-ing online routinely. We seemto have endless developmentopportunities within a 10-plusmile radius of Cincinnati andOTR on the rise.

I personally think the abso-lute worst thing we can do as aregion is encourage more peo-ple to live/work 20-plus milesoutside the city. We need tocontinue to pursue policies thatbring people into the urbancore which I will loosely defineas Hamilton County and North-ern Kentucky. Population den-sity is a good thing, and publictransportation even better.

If you want to talk about arail option to serve the easternsuburbs better or widening

existing state Route 32 a tad Iam all ears. If you want to paveover my parkland to serveyourself and your desire formore land with lower taxes,well, I guess I would eschewthe ears and give you a fist or afinger.

Suburban sprawl almostkilled our city. Now that wehave something good going weneed to be doing all we can topromote and encourage thismomentum. We do not need tomake living 30 miles outside ofthe city easier; we need tomake it harder (at least withcars on highways).

Don’t let people in Colum-bus or those that abandonedship now control our trans-

portation policies. Come joinus in Mariemont, Madisonville,Kenwood, Over-the-Rhine,Oakley, North Avondale, Clif-ton, Northern Kentucky, etc.Locate your home or businesshere and enjoy what we haveto offer. Or stay in ClermontCounty if you wish – perfectlyfine.

Just no way you’re going toconvince me that you havesome constitutional right to aneasier commute or trip to theReds game. Deal with the traf-fic you helped create when youlocated there. I’ll deal with myneighbors.

The Clermont Festival Cho-rale, Clermont County’s onlycommunity chorus, is dedicat-ed to presenting timeless andinnovative music in a varietyof styles.

We perform two “festivals”each year, consisting of a widevariety of music styles, fromthe medieval period to theBeatles and everything in be-tween. We perform in localchurch venues, at CincinnatiMusic Hall (opening for theMay Festival), Summerfair atConey Island, the Miami Town-ship Summer Concert Series,Art Affaire at Promont House,Frontier Days in Milford andmany others.

Under the direction of artis-tic directors Tim and TracyCarpenter and accompanistCharlie Curtis, the group hasgrown from a few dozen toaround 60 members. Our mem-bers come frommany commu-

nities in andaround theGreater Cin-cinnati area.Ages rangefrom as youngas 14 to as oldas (well wecan’t say), butlet’s just say awide variety ofages.

Some people make this afamily activity, with children,parents and even grandparentssinging together. Somemem-bers have been music profes-sionals at some point in theirlives, while others have onlyhad experience singing in so-cial situations.

This past summer, we per-formed a program called “Inthe Good Ol’ Summertime.” Weare excited to be presentingthis music twice again this fall,at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, at

the New Richmond Bicentenni-al Celebration at the New Rich-mond outdoor performancepavilion, and at 2:30 p.m. Sat-urday, Sept. 27, at Milford’s ArtAffaire event at PromontHouse in Milford.

We hope you will come hearthis fun concert that consistsof not only old favorites suchas “Cohan’s Big Three” and“Best of the Beach Boys,” butalso “Sumer Is Icumen In,” amedieval piece that is actuallythe oldest piece of writtenmusic in history. It’s a great

way to say goodbye to summerand get our heads ready forwhat will hopefully not be theworst winter in Cincinnati’shistory.

Just in case this winter trulyis another bad one, we have agreat option to keep you warmand happy: rehearsals for ourWinter Festival, “Into theLight,” start Oct. 4. Anyonehigh school age and up is in-vited to join us. The music isdiverse, covering a wide rangeof styles, and our friendlyatmosphere means members

look forward to coming to sing.Wemeet Saturday morningsbeginning in October, and wewill hold at least two concertsin January.

OUR ELECTIONS LETTERS,COLUMNS POLICYSept. 10 question

Will Major League Baseballever lift the lifetime ban of PeteRose? Should MLB lift the ban?Why or why not?

“While I hope Pete Rose canbe eligible for a HOF vote Idoubt that will happen in Pete’slifetime. Pete had a chance in1989 with then CommissionerPeter Ueberroth but Pete blewthat opportunity. (Ueberrothhad reinstated Mickey Mantleand Willie Mays who had beenbanned due to their Casino jobsas greeters in Atlantic City).

“OnceBartGiamattigot inascommissioner and selectedJohn Dowd to investigate, Petewas doomed. Outgoing Com-

missioner Bud Selig fanciesthat he will himself be in theHall of Fame. He does not wantto share that HOF stage withRose.

“Plus even if Pete is reinstat-ed there is no guarantee he willget the votes. Petemaygo downas the most tragic figure insports history. Go Figure!”

T.D.T.

“It seems less and less likelythe MLB will ever lift the ‘life-time ban’ on Peter EdwardRose, but yes, they should lift it.Frankly, should have lifted itlong ago. Why? Simply becausePete has always been good forthe game of baseball despite hisoff-fieldcharacter -which is an-

gelic compared against othersstill in the game who abuseddrugs,wives, andalcoholetc. . .”

C.G.

Sept. 3 questionAreyouconcernedabouta ter-

rorist attack on US soil? Why orwhy not? What can be done tolessen the chances of such an at-tack?

“I am more than concernedabout the plans of ISIS (a.k.aISIL), not only for the U.S. butfor all free countries. This is apsychopathic blood cult thatwants and means to be the topdog of terrorist groups, estab-lishing a worldwide caliphate.They have exhibited in Syriaand Iraq their total disrespectfor the rights and liberty of oth-er people, and human life ingeneral. They have routinelycommitted genocidal acts,rapes, decapitations, degrada-tionof thebodies, buryingwom-en and children alive, the listgoes on.UsamabinLaden’s suc-cessor felt compelled to makeanother video and proclama-tion, so he apparently thinksthis is serious and doesn’t wantto be outdone!

“Immediately, theU.S. needsto secure our southern border.We already know that drug car-

tel and MS-13 members havewalked across this border;these individuals alone are amajor security concern. SomeISIS and Al Qaeda are undoubt-edly already here aswell. It canget much worse still if the bor-der isn’t securedas ISIS is accu-mulating vast wealth through avariety of sources, includingfrom sympathetic countries,and can easily pay the cartelsfor passage into the U.S. as theothers have. Next, an actualplan, with as many coalitionpartners aswe can get, needs tobe put into action. The brutalmurders of American journal-ists James Foley and StevenSotloff were a declaration ofwar on the U.S.”

Cincinnati Nature Center will be recog-nizing Oxford resident W. Hardy Esh-baugh and Loveland resident Bill Crea-sey as the recipients of the 2014 Wood

Thrush award at a dinner ceremony Sept. 23 atCincinnati Nature Center’s historic Krippen-dorf Lodge.

Both distinguished men have worked in envi-ronmental educational settings for more than40 years. Through their teaching, mentoring,researching and traveling, Eshbaugh and Crea-sey have had a profound impact on countlesslives.

Eshbaugh, Professor Emeritus of Botany atMiami University, has educated and mentoredhundreds of students and has traveled theworld to discover and research different spe-cies of chili peppers. His work in education,research and conservation has earned him nu-merous awards, including the Great EgretAward in 2005 from the National Audubon Soci-ety in recognition of a lifetime of service toconservation. As a result of his extensive re-search in peppers, a species was named for himin 2011 (Capsicum eshbaughii Barboza).

One thing I’ll say formy readers, you are ob-servant.

After seeing the photoof my great-granddaugh-ter, Jaide, in my recentcolumn, emails and com-ments started coming.

“I didn’t know youwere a great-grandma, or

is that atypo?” wastypical. Toset therecordstraight,I’m agreat-grandmaby default,thanks tostepson,Joe. I’ve

always said that being amom or grandma isn’tnecessarily age related,and the same is true for agreat-grandma. Havingfamily to love is a bless-ing regardless of howthey come into your life.

Master recipe forsimple pasta sauce

My go-to recipe for ascratch tomato sauce thatcan be vegetarian or not.Good for children, sinceit isn’t too spicy, but stillvery flavorful. This takesmore time than opening ajar of ready-made (notthat muchmore time),plus this has good, pureingredients that you mayhave on hand and is soversatile. Taste as you goalong and addmore fla-vorings if you want. I liketo use whole Italian plum/Roma tomatoes sincethey’re usually betterquality than alreadydiced. Double and freezehalf if you like.

3-4 tablespoons oliveoil - I use 4

1/2 cup diced onion2 teaspoons or 2 nice

cloves garlic, minced28 oz. can whole toma-

toes in puree1 tablespoon tomato

paste (freeze rest ofpaste)

1/2 teaspoon each:dried basil and oregano

Salt and pepperIn pan, heat oil and

add onions. Over mediumheat, cook until onionsturn almost transparent,but not brown. Stir ingarlic and cook a couple

of minutes until garlicsmells fragrant. Addeverything else andmashtomatoes with potatomasher. Bring to a boil,then lower to simmer foranywhere from15 to 30minutes.

Adding sugar: Somelike to add a teaspoon orso but I don’t.

Meat sauce: Whenadding garlic, add 1pound or so lean groundbeef or turkey and cookuntil done, then add restof ingredients. Ditto withbeans, etc.

Don’t forget cheese!This is a yummy toma-toey (is that a word?!)sauce, so when you toss itwith pasta, be sure andsprinkle on generousamount of Parmesan.

HorchataFor those of you

who’ve been asking forthis, including Erin S.fromMason. Traditional-ly made with rice and apopular Mexican streetdrink. Perfect for thosewho are lactose intoler-ant. Have any of youmade this with brownrice?

6 tablespoons long-grain white rice

1-1/4 cups wholeblanched almonds

1-inch cinnamon stickor 1 teaspoon cinnamon

About 1 cup sugar orsubstitute or to taste

WaterPulverize rice in

blender or spice grinder.Transfer to large bowland add almonds andcinnamon. Stir in 2-1/2cups hot tap water, coverand let stand for at least 6hours. Purée in blenderuntil no longer gritty,about 4 minutes. Add 2cups water, then blendfor few seconds more.

Set large sieve, lined with3 layers of dampenedcheesecloth, over mixingbowl. Pour almond-ricemixture in, a little attime, stirring gently tohelp liquid pass through,and then gather up cor-ners of cheesecloth andsqueeze out all liquid.Add 2 cups water tostrained liquid and stir insugar to taste. If toothick, add water. Coverand refrigerate. Stir be-fore pouring into glasses.Adapted from ‘‘AuthenticMexican,’’ by Rick Bay-less

Caitlin’s HorchataCheck out colleague

Readers want toknow: What isclarifiedbutter/ghee?

Away of separatingmilk fat/solids and waterfrom butterfat. The but-

terfat left can be cookedat higher temperaturesand keeps longer, plus it’sgood for those who arelactose intolerant. Meltunsalted butter over lowheat. Pour into glass mea-suring cup. Let stand 5minutes, remove foamfrom top. Carefully pour

clear butter out, leavingmilk solids in bottom.

fresh shrimp. The farm ison JohnWoods Road offOhio 32 in Brown County.The first time we werethere we were sure sur-prised. It is an unusualthing to see in Ohio. Bringthe children to see howthe shrimp are raised.

Some of the tomatoesthat were planted in thetractor tires have stoppedproducing so I took themout and planted spinach.The two beds of carrotshave reached their limitsso the beds will becleaned and sugar snappeas planted for fall.

The program honoredthe veterans of all wars. Iwon’t try to name thembecause I will forgetsomeone, but each are tobe thanked for helpingkeep us safe. When theprogram started, DougGreen sang “The StarSpangled Banner” fol-lowed by a prayer by aveteran. This was theproper way to start aprogram by giving ourLord Thanks.

This was a specialevening. We had the op-portunity to visit and talkto several folks. Therewere folks that wereconcerned about RuthAnn and will keep her intheir prayers. While talk-ing to different folksabout East Fork and Sto-nelick Lake, I didn’t think

about it but I saw both ofthese parks built and thenworked at each one. Thisis something for a personto have the opportunity todo this.
