Matthew 25: Ministries in Blue Ash dispatched Michael VanHook to Haiti as an assessment team leader a week after the Jan. 12 earthquake. VanHook, 54, of College Hill, is a teacher at Newport High School. He’s no stranger to Haiti; VanHook has been traveling there for the past nine years because of the work the International Sports Alliance, a small nonprofit he founded, does in Haiti. Four other Americans accompanied VanHook on his trip to Haiti Jan. 19. They hail from Florida, West Virginia and Texas and, among them, brought skills in as many as three languages, engineering, journalism, entrepeneurship, pastoring a mission and serving as a medical missionary. Three Haitians – one the former chief of police of Port-au-Prince and a presidential body guard – provided transportation and security for the group. VanHook returned to the United States Jan. 27. Here, he tells Community Recorder reporter Jeanne Houck about his experiences.

humanitarian aid and disaster relief, this is the worst.’”
Was it as bad as you had imagined? “It is impossible to perceive how terrible something of this magnitude and nature can be before you experience it. What is hardest to comprehend is the degree of the severity of human suffering, especially with the little children.”
What are the living conditions like in Haiti? “The living conditions for the majority of Haitians have always been deplorable. Now, people who could barely scratch out a daily existence have nothing. Now, everyone lives in tents or sleeps on the streets. Most are starving to a greater degree because of lack of food or money. Many are injured and have not received any medical attention; Therefore, their suffering is prolonged with broken bones, infections and diseases.”

Have you gone to other countries to help out in disasters? If so, how do they compare with what Haiti is going through? “Matthew 25: Ministries has been to several, but Wendell Mettey (founder and president of Matthew 25: Ministries) has stated that, ‘In our 20 years of providing
How are the spirits of the people? “They are traumatized. There is a deep fear over the entire populace that is paralyzing.” What did you do in Haiti? “There were two purposes to our mission. First, we made an assessment of the possibilities and barriers for getting relief and humanitarian aid into the country. Second, we were charged by Wendell Mettey to ‘do as much good as possible.’ We went directly to orphanages, clinics, ministries, organizations and

churches and delivered food, relief supplies, financial support, as well as tended to wounds and provided emotional and spiritual support.” Do you plan to return to Haiti? “Yes, we are already planning a medical relief trip for this month.” What is the most important thing about the situation in Haiti that Americans need to know? “Americans need to realize three things. First, the situation in Haiti is dire, lives are in the balance and being lost daily. This is the worst natural disaster in human history. Second, because so many lives are in peril for a long period to come, real relief is going to take a long time and we cannot afford to stop helping. Last, their financial and material donations are saving lives and truly helping.” Is there something you’d like to say that I didn’t ask you? “Thank you to so many who have given so much. Please continue to help and pray for the people of Haiti. Please continue to help Matthew 25.”
Mystery painter baffles parishioners By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com
When 15 paintings on rolledup canvasses were found in the garage at St. Therese Church, years of searching began for two parishioners. Cindy Walker and Scott Froendhoff, who also serves as the church’s sacristan, have spent the past three years searching for information about the painter of the 15 paintings of St. Therese, angels and the church’s first pastor, Monsignor Borias Lehr. Each of the paintings, which may date back as far as the mid1900s, are signed only with the initials REB. “Parishioners paid $1,500 for each of these paintings to be
restored, but no one knows who painted them,” Froendhoff said. “It would be nice for that person to have that recognition, even if they’ve passed away.” Froendhoff and Walker both came to St. Therese since childhood and both said they’ve followed every lead they’ve come across to find the identity of REB. Walker said she’s contacted art galleries, historians, museums and current and past parishioners, hoping someone had heard of REB. The church has no records of who painted the paintings, which are believed to be interpretation of postcards Lehr brought back from a trip to France in 1927. Pictures show that the paintings were originally displayed on
canvasses glued on the walls in St. Therese’s old building, which was rebuilt in 1963. It is unknown whether the paintings currently hanging in the church are the originals from the old building or if REB re-painted them when the church was torn down. After years of finding nothing, Froendhoff and Walker said they can’t bring themselves to quit searching. “I really think there has to someone out there, maybe a relative, who knows who this painter is,” Walker said. “Someone may have a painting signed REB hanging in their house right now.” Anyone who has information about REB is asked to call the church at 441-1654.

School. “It definitely was a stepping stone,” Geiman said of the magazine appearance. The photos are on pages 62 and 63 as part of an article about wearing one piece of clothing within multiple styles, she said. Geiman said she often goes to sleep early each night after a full day of walking in the city from audition to audition in heels. A good night’s rest is essential, she said. “I have to be up and lively, and you can tell, you can’t hide anything from the camera, even with makeup,” Geiman said. Upon the printing of the February Cosmopolitan, Rachel’s mother, Amy Manyet Geiman, delivered editions of the magazine to

the high school and school district office in appreciation of their support of her daughter’s modeling aspirations before graduation. Amy said she especially wanted to thank Ginger Webb, the former principal of the high school, for her allowing Rachel to take her initial modeling opportunity, and all the teachers who were supportive of allowing her to make up any missed work. Amy owns Manyet Dance in Southgate, where people at the studio encouraged Rachel to take up modeling as a youth. Rachel has previously appeared in multiple teen magazines and is scheduled to appear in April edition of Seventeen Magazine, Amy said. Rachel has always had a flair for fashion going back to when she would do things like putting pin curls all over her head and going to classes at Cline Elementary in Cold Spring and making a skirt out of men’s ties while in middle school. “She’s very independent,

Jake Lang, owner of Wings Model Management in Cincinnati, has been working with Rachel since before she was 15. Wings has been in Cincinnati for 12 years, and specializes in finding young models and sending them to different places, Lang said. “She’s a beautiful girl,” Lang said of Rachel. “Basically we’ve sent her to (Los Angeles) to model, she modeled a bit in Thailand for two months, and now she’s
in New York, and we’ve been trying to help her with acting. She’s an actor, dancer and singer as well.” Amy said she’s proud of her daughter’s success, but also because she’s maintaining good morals. “She’s very gutsy, and spiritually I think she’s done just a great job of staying grounded,” Amy said of Rachel. Geiman attends church every Sunday, teaches Bible school, and is producing her own worship music. She’s also coming home Feb. 24 to go to Guatemala with her father, Ken, who is leading a week-long mission trip through Lakeside Christian Church in Lakeside Park.

Campbell County native, 2nd Lt. Walter R. Taliaferro, hasn’t been forgotten. Taliaferro, holder of t h e American record for a sustained s o l o flight and for whom C a m p Taliaferro in Texas was named, is profiled in a recently-published book, “In Their Honor: The Men Behind the Names of Our Military Installations.” The book is the result of six years if extensive research to find the story behind every man who ever had a military installation named in his honor. Author, Linda D. Swink, an Air Force veteran, said that many names have faded into obscurity after a military installation closed. Once no longer needed, many airfields were abandoned and much of its history lost. Little or no biographical information about the man for whom the installation was named survived. “My intention is to honor theses men and keep their memory alive in the hearts of today’s generation, as well as those in the future.” Other military heroes from Kentucky profiled in the book are: Colonel William Caldwell McChord of Lebanon; Lieutenant General Simon Bolivar Buckner Jr. of Munfordville; General John Bell Hood of Owingsville; General Samuel Bell Maxey of Tompkinsville; Private First Class Robert M. Hammonds of Wickliffe; Second Lieutenant Darwin Keith Kyle of Jenkins; and Lieutenant JG Richard Caswell Saufley of Stanford.
Swink’s book is available in area bookstores and from the publisher, Little Miami Publishing Co., Milford, Ohio: 513-576-9369 and www.littlemiamibooks.com.

Southgate class building bridges By Amanda Joering Alley ajoering@nky.com
Students at Southgate Independent School are getting some hands-on engineering experience. In the school’s engineering elective class, students in the fifth through eighth grades are using their math and science skills to construct bridges out of Popsicle sticks and balsa wood. “This really incorporates a lot of science and math, and I even have math teacher Angela Dilts teaching right along with me throughout the class,” said teacher Eileen Whaley. “This is really an example of collaborating and team teaching, which really benefits the students.” Throughout the five-week class, students learn about the engineering design cycle and use critical thinking and problem solving to compete and see which team can build the strongest bridge. “The students really learn a lot from this class,” Dilts said. “Anytime they make a mistake and their bridge falls down, they’re learning a lot about trial and error.” Seventh-grader Autumn Creekmore said for her team, the hardest part about building the bridge has been being limited to 100 Popsicle sticks. “It’s been a little hard, but I like building things and being creative,” Creekmore said. Whaley said the bridge assignment is open-ended, giving the students a chance to do their own thing and develop their own ideas. “We have really got to be creative with our different ideas about the bridge we want,” said eighth-grader Rashaad Smith.

Catholic schools share week with smiles By Chris Mayhew cmayhew@nky.com
The celebratory air of area Catholic schools’ events like free morning drive-up doughnuts for parents and teacher vs. student volleyball games underscore how Catholic schools, students and parents believe they’re part of a unique educational environment. The theme for Catholic Schools Week in 2010, Jan. 31- Feb. 6, was Dividends for Life and highlighted the values of “faith, knowledge, discipline and morals.” “Of course our faith is our purpose for being here,” said Melissa Holzmacher, principal of St. Joseph School in Cold Spring. “Those are the values, the things that we’re
working on a daily basis, as all of our Catholic schools will be doing.” Each day during the week, the school takes the opportunity to show appreciation for a different part of its community, including days for the students, parents, teachers and staff. St. Joseph’s celebration culminates with a gym full of screaming, rooting students, parents and teachers for the annual eighth grade vs. teachers volleyball match. This year, the teachers bested the students two games to one, with the final tie-breaking game ending in a score of teachers 15 and students 8. Carrie Hamberg, a parent of one of the eighth-grade student
volleyball players, was busy snapping photos from the stands and rooting. Hamberg said in addition to a child in eighth-grade, she has another that is in fourth grade at St. Joseph, and a child who graduated the school and is in 10th grade at Bishop Brossart High School. She’s been a volunteer at the school for 11 years. “I like the community and sense of family,” Hamberg said. “Everybody feels like it’s one big family.” For parent appreciation day the school handed out coffee and doughnuts curbside to parents dropping their children off at the start of school, said Sister Dolores

Gohs, C.D.P., principal. The idea was to do something for the parents so they didn’t have to come to an evening event, Gohs said. There was an out-of-uniform day for students Thursday, and Friday was a special teacher appreciation day and Mass for teachers, staff and volunteers organized completely by the students, she said. Gohs said although her school, located directly off Ky. 8 in the Ohio River town of Melbourne, is small, there is smart board technology in each classroom and a new computer lab for students. “Because we are so small, one of our big advantages is there is a real family atmosphere,” she said.
There are advantages to being small including students getting more computer lab time, Gohs said. “Even with sports they get more playing time, they don’t sit on the bench a lot,” she said. Teachers are very familiar with family situations too, but what makes the school wonderful is the parent involvement, Gohs said. Many parents volunteer, including parent electricians who volunteer their expertise to maintain the school, she said. The school uses the week to say thanks to everyone involved, Gohs said. “It’s really a national celebration,” she said. “And I think it really does focus on our schools, and it focuses on the quality of the education that we have.”

On a momentous Super Bowl Sunday, Brooke Schutte grabbed a super win of her own. The Highlands High School senior won the Region 4 championship, her first ever, in the 100-yard breaststroke Feb. 7 at Scott High School. Because of weekend snow, the race occurred during the first half of the Super Bowl football game. But it didn’t dampen Schutte’s enthusiasm for her big win. “It was good to finally get it senior year,” she said. “I’ve gotten second and third the past couple of years. I knew I had to get out fast and get the lead right away, then I just wanted to hold on at the end.” Schutte, who also finished second in the 200 individual medley, automatically qualified for this weekend’s state meet in both events. The top two finishers in each event plus the next best 14 times statewide advance. “I told her, you’re a senior, make a statement. You’re going out as a winner,” Highlands head coach Nancy Barre said. “She went out and did
just that.” Sophomore Conner Downard won the boys’ 200yard freestyle and was third in the 500 free. “It was a very exciting race,” Barre said. “The top four were within a second of each other. He’s shorter than the other guys, so on every turn he had to make up the difference.” Several Bluebirds won top-six medals and have strong chances of earning state berths. At-large qualifiers were not released at press time. Natalie Schultz was sixth in the 50 free. Carly Hill was third and diving. Gracie Lynne was fourth in the 100 free and third in the 100 back. Phillip Englert finished third in the 50 free and should qualify for state. Evan Duckworth was fourth in diving. Both genders finished top-five in the 200 medley relay and 200 freestyle relay. “We’ll be taking down kids with some experience and some new kids,” Barre said. “Overall, even though point-wise we’re not at the top like some years, we had some real quality swims. The kids were very pleased with themselves and so was I.”

Lonneman signs with UK
Allie Lonneman of Cold Spring signed to play soccer with the University of Kentucky. She is a senior at Newport Central Catholic High School and a member of the Kentucky Olympic Development Team. Lonneman plays club for coach Mandy Green on the KSA U18 Elite and helped lead KSA U18 Elite to the Kentucky State Cup finals. An all-state performer, Lonneman was named to the Kentucky Senior All-Star team and the Kentucky All State Academic Team. She was NCC’s defensive MVP and helped lead the Thoroughbreds to three district championships as well as two All “A” state titles.
Newport Central Catholic tapped into its past and present to lead the football program into the future. NCC has named Eddie Eviston, 30, as its second head coach in 44 years. He replaces Bob Schneider, who retired last month with a state record 345 wins. “I’m excited,” Eviston said. “I feel blessed to have the opportunity to continue to build on the great tradition this school has always had.” Eviston, a 1997 graduate of NewCath, has been an assistant coach at NCC since 2006. He joined the school’s development staff in 2006, as well, working on the school’s recent capital campaign. That followed an outstanding playing career. He played three sports at NewCath and went on to play quarterback at Georgetown College. At Georgetown, he won two NAIA national championships and was a three-time national player of the year. He then had brief stints in professional football, winning a league championship with the Lexington Horsemen in arena football. “He’s going to do a great job with us,” NCC junior

Jake Cain said. “I started out at quarterback and enjoyed having him as a coach. I’m really excited.” NCC interviewed Eviston and two other assistants. “The big question was do we open it up or do we not?” said NCC Athletic Director Rob Detzel. “This may be a top-five job in the state or at least top-10, so you want to get the best coach. After talking to the assistants and evaluating everything, we felt that the best candidates were inhouse. We had three guys who we felt were very capable. “We’ve seen (Eviston) work within the building
and saw what he was doing with the development program, how organized he was. We were sold.” Eviston said he has learned a lot about offense over the years from his various teams. He doesn’t expect to change much, keeping the continuity the program had under Schneider. “The best thing about him is these young men are men,” Eviston said. “He really develops them into men. I definitely want to take those things he has done for so many former players and continue to do that for current and future players.”

Bankemper said while snow was likely to upset the team’s practice schedule this week, the depth of the program is keeping the Camels sharp. “Our kids have 57 matches this year,” he said. “Our practices are very good. It’s a very competitive room. The mental part of it may be stale in the first match at regional, but we’re all in a similar boat.”

The girls’ soccer program at Campbell County High School has never had a Division I college player, according to the memory of long-time coach and Athletic Director Bob Jones. That changed Feb. 3, when senior Anne Marie Dumaine committed to Xavier University in Cincinnati. Teammate Amy Neltner signed with Division II Tusculum College in Tennessee. “I’ve always wanted to play Division I since I was little,” Dumaine said. “I really liked the campus and the atmosphere. I didn’t want to go too far away, but it’s far enough away that it’s a new experience.” Dumaine was the Northern Kentucky Defensive Player of the Year last season, anchoring a Camel defense that allowed just eight goals all season while going 11-3-3. Dumaine scored five goals as well, but really enjoys making a strong defensive play to clear the

don’t think about it, but you get a rush when you clear the ball and the fans cheer.” Dumaine is ranked sixth
in Campbell’s Class of 2010, has an ACT score of 33, and plans to major in biology. She joins her older sister Jennie (Hanover) in the college ranks. Neltner was second on the team last year in goals with 12. “It’s a small school. The student body is smaller than here,” she said. “The team seemed to warm up to me.” Neltner plans to major in pre-pharmacy. Head coach Dave Morris, entering his fourth season this fall, was proud of his two seniors. “(Dumaine) has won more awards than any player in this program,” he said. “(Neltner) has more fun playing soccer than anyone I’ve ever coached. She loves to play the game. They have been critical to the turnaround of this program. They deserve all the credit. Anne Marie anchors the defense and Amy anchors the offense.” Added Neltner: “Dave did a great job with this program. It’s totally turned around.”

Taxpayer respect: A new direction Taxpayer respect: A new direction As I talk with people on the campaign trail across Campbell County, many voters want to know why I am running for judge-executive. The main reason I am running for this office is so our county government heads in a new direction that serves people, not the politicians. More specifically, I want to change the way our county leadership spends our tax dollars. It has become routine for the county to tax our family checkbook more and more each year. For example, the property tax has increased several times in the last 11 years compounding to an increase of 54 percent more in 2010, than what we were paying just over a decade ago. Such an increase is no way to govern at first glance, so one would hope that the windfall of tax dollars at the county's disposal would be spent on growing our local economy and improving the quality of life in Campbell County. But in reality, our leaders are spending the money on things like a new county administration building and a clock tower. This kind of cavalier behavior is happening in other parts of government as well. Congress is also spending money at record pace right now with dubious results. At the state level, the recent abuses by the Kentucky Associations of Counties (KACo) and the Kentucky League of Cities (KLC) cry out for reform. When government spends money on itself before it spends money in our communities, it hurts businesses and families that are struggling to make ends meet in a shaky economy. If I were elected judge-executive, I would look to do the same with less. My goal is to apply the same

budget cutting techniques as we do in business and as I have done in the public sector. I will look to every department and service for further reductions. I will also look at areas to consolidate such as Sheriff's office and County Police, Housing Authorities, and potential inter-
county services. We must bring back a proper respect for the taxpayer dollar. As much as this culture of overspending taxpayer money is an institutional problem across government, it won't just take budget cuts from within. It will also take leadership from our top officials to change this cut, putting words to action. That is why if I am elected to judge-executive, I will not accept a pay increase during my first term in office. With the economy in the current state that it's in, not many of us are getting raises, while some are not even getting paychecks. To accept more money from the public coffers as some of our county leaders have would be reckless and irresponsible. Just as increasing your tax burden in these tough economic times would be reckless and irresponsible. In the coming months, I will present more ideas on how we can build a prosperous future for Campbell County, streamline government services, and protect the rights of all Campbell County residents if I am elected. Kevin Sell is a Republican candidate running for Campbell County judge-executive.

Last week’s question
At which Winter Olympic sport do you wish you could excel? Which Winter Olympics sports do you like to watch?
“Give substantial tax cuts to existing and start-up businesses to free up capital to expand and hire more workers. Any jobs given by the government will either be a temporary fix or, worse, will be a permanent growth of government requiring more and more taxes from businesses and individuals, which will, in turn, stunt economic growth even further...a vicious cycle. Jobs provided by existing private businesses and individuals starting new businesses have a greater chance of being long lasting and economy-boosting.” J.K.T.

What is the best thing the president and Congress can do to reduce unemployment?
“Cut taxes and get the government out of private business.” M.C. “Remove barriers to employment imposed by federal regulation. Provide tax breaks for businesses to expand their employee base.” G.G. “The best thing the president can do to reduce unemployment is to resign. His radical policies are job-killers. The incompetence of this president and his administration is staggering. They don’t
understand or care that government is the problem – not the solution.” W.E.S. “The best approach our present Congress and administration should take in order to reduce unemployment, is to get out of the way of our capitalist society. Reduce payroll taxes, which will enable employers to invest in both their businesses and employ new workers. Not to mention dropping both universal health care, along with the ‘cap and tax’ referendums, which will just continue the downhill spiral of unemployment. By bringing back conservative Reaganism ideals, our economy will begin to flourish once again.” Steve Froehle, Burlington “How do we reduce unemployment? Well let’s see, over 14 million Americans unemployed according to the latest reports from the DLS, and an estimated 12 million people here illegaly. You do the math.” Zog

Power of attorney in Kentucky A while ago, the Kentucky Court of Appeals issued an opinion dealing with some issues related to Power of Attorneys which I thought may be helpful to discuss in this article. In the case mentioned above, an elderly man gave his nephew a general power of attorney authorizing the nephew to handle all of his affairs, to pay bills, endorse checks, dispose of property, etc. The elderly man appointed a friend as Executor in his Will. After the elderly man died, the friend/Executor filed suit against the nephew Power of Attorney claiming that the nephew had wrongfully made gifts from funds of the elderly man to the nephew and a niece. The nephew had used funds of his elderly uncle to pay personal credit card bills of approximately $3,000 and had paid off the niece's mortgage in the approximate amount of $12,500. The elderly man had been living with the niece for about two years prior to his death. The nephew claimed that his uncle agreed to the payments mentioned above, but had nothing in writing to that affect and also
filed a claim against the estate of his uncle to try to get a fee for his services as Power of Attorney. The Court of Appeals refused to allow a fee to James A. the nephew as Daley Power of Attorney without any proof Community of an agreement Recorder for such compenguest sation. The Court columnist of Appeals also ruled that it was up to a jury to decide whether the elderly uncle had in fact agreed to the various payment of credit card and mortgage debts for the nephew and niece. The authority granted under any Power of Attorney will vary depending upon the exact language used. However, a General Power of Attorney usually grants someone else authority to handle all matters as if the person granting the Power of Attorney were conducting the business himself. A Power of Attorney is required to deal with the property of the other person using the utmost good

faith to handle matters for the best interests of the person granting the Power of Attorney. The person given the Power of Attorney is not required to use any of his own funds or assets for the other person, but merely to deal with the other persons property in that person's best interests. If there is to be any use of the funds for the personal debts of the person appointed or others, such as the niece and nephew mentioned above, there should be authority to do such in writing signed by the person granting the Power of Attorney. Furthermore, if the person performing the duties as Power of Attorney is to be paid a fee for rendering those services, then there should be something in writing to that affect signed by the one who has appointed the other person as Power of Attorney. I hope this information is interesting and helpful.

Bellevue High School teacher Janet O’Neill is nominated for National Citizenship Education Teacher Award.
Bellevue teacher nominated for National Citizenship Education Teacher Award For 15 years, teacher Janet O’Neill has been serving as a role model for students at Bellevue High School. Teaching various grade levels classes ranging from U.S. history to integrated social studies, O’Neill has spent her time with students encouraging them to be good citizens and lifelong learners, said Judy Klopp, a guidance counselor at the school. “(O’Neill) is always positive and reflects a very positive attitude to our students,” Klopp said. “We are very fortunate to have Janet O’Neill on our staff working with our students.” After the school’s Principal Colonel Mike Wills nominated O’Neill locally for the National Citizenship Teacher Award through the Veterans of Foreign Wars late last year, she was selected for the national award contest at the VFW national headquarters. O’Neill said she expects
that the winners of the national contest will be announced in the next couple months. “I didn’t expect it, but it feels nice to be nominated and even more surprising to be selected,” O’Neill said. “I would also like to thank the students and staff of Bellevue High School because they helped make me a successful teacher.” O’Neill said she likes teaching social studies and history and getting to share stories about the past with her students. O’Neill said she also likes the small school setting that Bellevue offers. “For many of the kids I teach them when they are freshman in integrated social studies and then again when they are juniors in U.S. history,” O’Neill said. “I am able to establish and build relationships, and it is neat to see them grow up into young adults.” -Reported by Amanda Joering Alley

We should be wondering as we wander
Why are there so many vivacious children and so many dull adults? Why? Because we live in a world that does not encourage awe and wonder. As a child we were in a constant state of wonder. Each day we were like guests at a smorgasbord. We were constantly touching, tasting, looking and marveling at interesting objects and sounds. Sometimes there were even things that escalated wonder into awe. But gradually wonder and awe gets squeezed out of us. To wonder means to recognize that we were in the presence of mystery. But we have lowered the ceiling to avoid acknowledging anything beyond. And as we become more competent and gain mastery over ourselves and the things around us, wonder diminishes. But might we not ask, “Can’t our competence lead us to more wonder?” The earliest philosophers recognized that philosophy
i t s e l f begins with wonder. And if philosophy is authentic, it will end Father Lou there too. Guntzelman Rabbi A b raham Perspectives Heschel noted that the worst of sins is to take life for granted. Children have not learned to commit that sin. True poets and mystics fight against committing it. Yet we say, “Been there, done that.” How did we slay wonder? The former director of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies, scientist William G. Pollard, says a chief characteristic of 18thand 19th-century science was a sense of demolishing mystery. Nature’s secrets were being unlocked and hopes arose that eventually one great formula would be
which are seemingly a natural part of childhood, probably because a child hasn’t grown ‘practical’ enough to limit his gaze to what is functional about a thing. ... Such an attentiveness requires an exercise of reverence toward reality, an openness, a zone of interior silence where static won’t jam out the messages of meaning emitted by things.” We work against ourselves when we create our own static that overpowers wonder and mystery. Don’t we mistake an intensely busy life with a meaningfully connected one? Eugene H. Peterson
found to explain everything. “But,” he added, “the great scientists of our century underscore the openness of science. … We find the reintroduction of mystery at a very profound and deep level.” If we are, instead, seduced by the powers of science it leads us to pay attention to only a part of reality – the functional or classifiable part. But we are more than functional and classifiable. We are unique individuals and deeply mysterious. People who are alienated from mystery and wonder are alienated from themselves. If we are oblivious to mystery we diminish ourselves. To try and regain a sense of wonder and awe, Chesterton said that we have to look at familiar things until they become strange. In that same manner, author Joseph Gallagher notes, “Really looking, really listening, really paying attention: these are skills
writes, “The workplace is where this diminishing of wonder goes on most consistently and thoroughly... information and competence are key values here... We don’t want to waste time by staring at something. And in his book ‘Awe,’ Paul Pearsall Ph. D. says that our brain “...is more interested in its usual fixation on the Fs of fighting, fleeing, feeding or fornicating.” We must seek, and allow, wonder to touch our lives else we atrophy. I appreciate the sense of wonder expressed by poet Elizabeth Michael Boyle:
“Who am I?”
I am a child of the universe a woman of earth a creature of God. I stand in awe of the ever expanding universe birthing a nursery of galaxies, compressing the weight of a billion stars the size of our sun into a minute black hole the size of my thumb.” There is not a shortage of opportunities for our wonderment and awe.

Chocolate gobs/mini chocolate whoopee pies
Don’t be fooled by the name – these are like mini chocolate whoopee pies (that’s why I added the name to the title) and would be so much fun for the kids to help make. From colleague and country girl Janice Mehallick, a West Chester reader who said, “We make these and call them chocolate gobs – it’s one of our favorite desserts.” Janice brought several in for me to try, and within minutes, all were gone except one.

Filling:
5 tablespoons flour 1 cup milk 1 cup sugar 1 stick butter, softened 1 ⁄2 cup vegetable shortening 1 teaspoon vanilla Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cream sugar and shortening until fluffy. Add eggs and continue to beat. Stir together buttermilk, boiling water, vanilla, and blend this into the creamed mixture at low speed. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa. Add to mixture 1 cup at a time, blending well at low speed. Batter will be very thin but do not worry. Drop by teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for five minutes. Allow to cool and transfer onto waxed paper. To make the filling, place flour into saucepan and slowly add milk, stirring until smooth. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring until very thick. Mixture should become as thick as solid vegetable
shortening. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Cream together sugar, butter, shortening, and vanilla. Add the cooled flour mixture and whip until fluffy. Spread onto bottom side of cookie and top with another cookie to make a sandwich. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator.
Maribelle’s sweet and sour chicken soup
Reader Sandy Keiser couldn’t believe her luck when Maribelle’s Tavern (2062 Riverside Drive in the historic East End of Cincinnati, 513-861-2484) agreed to share this recipe. Sandy said it was a “Spicy Thai chicken soup with vegetables; mmmm good!” I couldn’t believe my luck, either, when Chef Mike Florea responded so quickly. He said, “This recipe is from Chris Florea, my brother and a cook in our kitchen. Chris is also responsible for our delicious brunch menu on Sundays.” Soups, surf or turf specials vary daily and all the food is fresh and made to order. I can tell you myself that it’s a fun place to go and next time we stop in, I’m getting this soup! Check them out at maribellestavern.com for more information. (I found Mae Ploy chili sauce at Kroger in a smaller bottle. I use it for all sorts of things – it’s sweet but very hot/spicy, as well.) This is a big batch soup, so would be perfect for entertaining. 3 large yellow onions, julienned

Add chicken stock. Bring to a boil and add the bottle of sweet chili sauce. Reduce heat so soup is at a simmer. Add the chicken and sesame seeds. Let simmer for 30 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
