Christmas parade canceled

By John Seney

jseney@communitypress.com

Amelia has canceled its Christmas parade after failed efforts to find a sponsor and controversy over changing the name of the parade to “A Holiday Parade.” Village resident Elaine Dietrich, who created and helped organize the parade for the past 28 years, said the Amelia Business Association, which had sponsored the parade the past few years, informed the village they were unable to host the parade this year and wanted to hand it over to the village. Council member Derrick Campbell said the village wanted to sponsor the parade, but council

was told by village solicitor Laura Abrams it shouldn’t be called a Christmas parade because the village could be sued over the separation of church and state. “It would not be good for taxpayers to take that risk,” Campbell said. After unsuccessful efforts to find an outside group to sponsor the parade, the village decided to take it over, but change the name to “A Holiday Parade.” Churches told the village they would boycott the parade because of the name change, and the First Baptist Church of Amelia denied use of its parking lot for a staging area. “You can’t imagine the phone calls we were getting,” on the

name change, Dietrich said. She said some people threatened to demonstrate against the parade. “It escalated into an impossible situation. I never expected anything like this,” she said. Campbell said Pierce Township also informed the village it would not participate in the parade and thus not allow a portion of the parade route along Ohio Pike in the township to be closed. Pierce Township Police Chief Col. James Smith said he was informed by the state and legal counsel that he did not have the authority to close down a major state highway for a parade. He said Pierce Township supported the parade in the past, but the issue was raised by an Amelia

resident during the debate earlier this year over the dissolution of the village. Smith said he learned that Ohio Pike could be closed down within the village, but not in the township. He said his decision had nothing to do with the name change. Because of these obstacles, the decision was made to cancel the parade, which is usually held on the second Sunday in December. Dietrich said she will miss the parade this year. “People came from everywhere to see this parade,” she said. Dietrich said if an outside group can be found to sponsor the parade next year, she would be glad to get involved again.

Volunteers, donation help cat problem By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

An anonymous donor and a group of volunteers are making all the difference in the Jenkins Lane cat population problem in Union Township. Earlier this year, Richard Scott started feeding a group of outdoor cats that were stranded when an elderly neighbor went into a nursing home. What started as a few cats quickly became more than 30, with new litters being born every week. Scott was spending $60 each month for food and the cat urine was becoming a health issue. Scott knew he had to do something. He turned to the media to help him find a solution. After hearing the story, an anonymous donor gave $2,000 to the non-profit United Coalition for Animals Clinic, in Queensgate, to spay and neuter the cats. Three volunteers went to Jenkins Lane to trap and catch the cats. Volunteer and Small Potatoes Animal Rescue owner Melissa Thompson said she worked with Cathy Bonewell, with the Purrfect Friends Rescue, and Lynne Helt-

man, of Save Our Strays Rescue, used humane traps and nets. “We knew, if UCAN was going to get these cats fixed, someone was going to have to go get them. It went pretty well, particularly because they are used to being fed at a certain time,” Thompson said. About 30 kittens and adults were spayed or neutered, tested for feline AIDS and leukemia, and vaccinated at UCAN. “The donation was very important to us being able to do those things ... We’ve never had someone see a story about a specific problem and immediately step forward,” said UCAN Executive Director Ann Hill. “We would have tried to find a way to help, but the donation made it a lot easier.” The kittens were passed on to the rescues for socialization and adoption. But Thompson said she’s going to need a little help. To socialize a kitten, someone would need to take one or two of the kittens home and keep them in a room or confined space. Thompson said she could provide cat food, litter and supplies to anyone who would be willing to help. To contact Thompson, e-mail her at toadflax@fuse.net.

Richard Scott is continuing to feed the 10 adult cats that were returned after being sterilized, tested and vaccinated. The 10 older cats were returned to Jenkins Lane. Scott said he’s happy UCAN and the volunteers were able to stop the population boom, but

they wish someone could take the remaining adult cats. “We want to say thank you. We still have cats, but it’s much better than it was,” Scott said.

When Jeff Lykins was told he was named the recipient of the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce Edward J. Parish Award, he was both humbled and surprised. The Edward J. Parish Pacesetter is an annual award given to someone who is an active member of the business community, performs service projects within the community and has held leadership positions in business and civic organizations. Recent winners include Cindy Jenkins Gramke, James McDonough and Andrew McCreanor. “I’m very humbled,” Lykins said. “The list of people who have won that award is comprised of people I look up to, especially with it being named after Edward J.

Parish. I just can’t say enough how humbled I am by it.” Lykins is the third-generation president of Lykins CompaLykins nies, a petroleum marketer based in Clermont County, which sells in 15 states. Clermont Northeastern school board member Cindy Huxel nominated Lykins because of his efforts to make Clermont County a better place, she said. “I’ve known Jeff for 11 years and he’s always been active in a variety of civic efforts,” she said. “He’s always supported everything he can, not only monetarily, but also in time and effort he puts in.” The award winner’s dedication

to CASA for Clermont Kids! is especially noteworthy, Huxel said. “He has embraced CASA,” she said. “He hosts an annual golf outing to raise as much money as he can for that cause, which is just one of the many causes he supports. He doesn’t just sit on these boards, he actively participates in everything he does. He’s driving the car, not sitting in the stands.” Lykins’ grandfather instilled in him the importance of community involvement at an early age, he said. “My grandfather always told me to support the community that you derive your income from and that’s what I’ve always tried to do,” he said. “It’s very important to me. I grew up in Clermont County, the company started in Clermont County and my entire family lives in Clermont County. This is our

home and our roots run very deep here.” Though Lykins lives in Miami Township, his generosity reaches all corners of the county and even into neighboring counties, Huxel said. “He grew up in the area, but he’s not just concerned with his little circle or area,” she said. “He is interested in making sure that all of the surrounding communities are quality places to live. Some people focus just on their neighborhood, but he travels around. His children attend Milford schools, but he supports surrounding districts. He takes care of a broad spectrum of people.” Award winners will be honored at the Clermont Chamber Annual Pacesetter Awards Dinner at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, at Holiday Inn in Eastgate.

Tip hotline, undercover officers help in Union Twp. drug sweep By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com

Union Township Police Chief Terry Zinser and Clermont County Sheriff A.J. “Tim” Rodenberg said the community is to thank for a recent drug sweep that resulted in a slew of illegal drugs being taken off Union Township streets. The sheriff office’s Narcotics Unit, which included two Union Township police officers, confiscated almost $500,000 in drugs and brought charges against 67 people as part of a drug investigation dubbed “Habit Breaker.” The two departments held a press conference Thursday, Oct. 29. Rodenberg and Zinser agreed the residents were an important player in the investigation, especially those who left messages on the drug hotline, 625-2806. “I believe (the community) played a big role by supplying information about suspicious individuals,” Rodenberg said. “ ... A number of the cases were opened and closed thanks to the tips on that hotline.” The investigation was initiated by the Clermont County Drug Task Force and

Union Township Police Chief Terry Zinser, left, and Clermont County Sheriff A.J. “Tim” Rodenberg talk to the media about how the two departments worked together on the recent narcotics investigation. the Union Township Police Department in early 2008 when the township started to see a spike in drug-related complaints, crimes, thefts and deaths. From January 2008 through Oct. 29, 2009, there have been 248 drug overdoses, 19 resulting in deaths, in Union Township. As of Oct. 29, about half of the 55 people most recently indicted in “Habit Breaker” had been arrested. The additional 12 people involved previously were arrested for trafficking and engaging in corrupt activi-

ties, according to police. Rodenberg said the officers started serving warrants to the most dangerous individuals first. Most of those individuals are currently in jail in various locations, he said. “Some of these people are really bad hombres. They’re not people you want to issue a citation to and hope they show up in court,” Rodenberg said. Most of the indictments are for allegedly possessing and/or trafficking drugs such as heroin, marijuana, cocaine and methadone. A number of pharmaceutical drugs also were involved. In addition to the drugs, police also confiscated a number of vehicles and found five meth labs. Zinser wanted to thank the agencies involved in the sweep, the undercover officers and the citizens who helped provide vital information. “This was a major operation. Probably the biggest narcotics operation we’ve had in Union Township,” Zinser said. The following have been indicted (in the order provided by the sheriff’s office): • Brandon Scarff, 1013

Gleneste Lane, Union Township. • Zachary Sicurella, 662 Parkland Drive, Union Township. • Cecil Warren, 4704 Beechwood Road, Union Township. • Jessica Weigle, 1013 Gleneste Lane, Union Township. • Tiffany Harrison, 1173 Binning Road., Union Township • Evan Decker, 4983 Cinnamon Court, Union Township. • Jacob Coburn, 479 Piccadilly Apartments Apt.

Helicopter gets new coat of paint in Union Twp.

“We’re responsible for the upkeep and it was just starting to look bad.”

John Osterling

By Kellie Geist

Council No. 6, agreed to help and enlisted the work of his apprentice painters. “First, I wanted to help because I’m a veteran. But secondly, I’ve never painted a chopper before,” Wilz said. “We always try to do some type of charity projects ... None of (the apprentices) working on this helicopter will probably do anything like this again.” “It’s a great experience,” Wilz said. Wilz said the students are repainting the entire helicopter and the rotors and will repaint the logos and letters when the stencils he ordered come in. The initial painting was to be completed by Nov. 2. The scaffolding the group used was provided by John Becker. Osterling said he’s happy these community members were willing to step forward and help the VVA. “Everyone was great about helping us. That chopper means a lot to the guys,” Osterling said. “I’d just really like to thank everyone for their help.”

The helicopter on the memorial at the Union Township Veterans Memorial Park is getting a face-lift. John Osterling, a Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 649 member and memorial chair, said the paint on the helicopter was peeling and really needed to be redone. “That memorial means so much to so many of us,” Osterling said. “We’re responsible for the upkeep and it was just starting to look bad.” Osterling put out some feelers to see if they could find someone to help the VVA put on a fresh coat of paint. Eric Simpson, the manager of the SherwinWilliams on Beechmont Avenue in Anderson Township, stepped up and donated six gallons of paint – five green and one black. Simpson said they donated gray paint last year to help the VVA paint the columns the

Some of the other programs and services OSU extension offers includes soil testing and consultation, gardening consultation and programs, on-site farm consultations, plant disease and pest diagnostic and treatment plans, junior master gardener, the family nutrition program, active parenting and money management. Jenkins said the budget cuts will definitely impact the programming OSU extension offers, but she wasn’t sure which programs would be impacted and to what extent. “When you’re asking what is going to have to give way, it will probably be a little something from everything,” Jenkins said. “Many of our programs interface with one another, so everything we do will probably to be impacted.” In addition to programming, the OSU extension is active in researching and community partnerships, Jenkins said. Jenkins said she hopes the commissioners can see how the funding they put into OSU extension benefits the county and is a “great return on their investment.” Jenkins said for the $185,000 the county would provide OSU extension, the extension office would generate about $2.69 million in volunteer hours, scholarships, fundraisers and societal benefits. “I hope individuals who have had experiences with the extension office would let others know about the value of our services,” Jenkins said.

of the county’s elected officials and office holders to draft their 2010 budget with a 10-percent budget reduction. The OSU extension staff drafted their 2010 budget with that 10-percent cut in addition to the five percent cut they made earlier this year. Those cuts bring the amount of funding from $216,000 this year to an estimated $185,874 next year. This cut would be in addition to the 30-percent in budget reductions the extension office has had in the last three years. “My recommendation is going to be that they are reduced at the same level as everyone else (about 10 percent),” said county Administrator David Spinney. “But everything is still in the mix ... and the commissioners have not made a decision.” If the cuts are realized, OSU extension will have to cut employees or the amount of hours employees work, said Margaret Jenkins, director and educator. “At this point, the only thing I can reduce is the time people work here. There is nothing else I can possibly take out,” Jenkins said. “That will translate into fewer programs.” OSU extension focuses on four main areas: Advancing employment and income opportunities, enhancing agriculture and the environment; preparing youth for success, and strengthening families and communities. 4-H is one of the most popular and well-known programs.

Clermont sheriff gets federal grant for drug unit jseney@communitypress.com

The Clermont County Sheriff’s has received a $90,590.58 federal stimulus grant to help fund the Clermont County Drug Unit. The grant was provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and requires a local match of

$30,196.86. The Clermont County commissioners approved acceptance of the grant and local match Oct. 26. “This will allow Rodenberg our drug unit to operate at its current level,” said Sheriff A.J. “Tim” Rodenberg said.

The funding will allow the unit to keep at least two officers it would not otherwise be able to afford. Rodenberg pointed out the major narcotics bust that occurred in Union Township Oct. 29 as evidence of the need for strong enforcement. More than $500,000 worth of narcotics was confiscated and 67

people were indicted in the joint operation by the sheriff’s office and Union Township police. “The drug unit is seriously needed,” he said.

Math Night teaches students, parents fun ways to learn math

By Kellie Geist

kgeist@communitypress.com

Students at WithamsvilleTobasco Elementary School had a chance to share their education with their parents during the PTO’s annual Math Night Oct. 22. PTO President Kathy Haught said Math Night is the organization’s largest event of the year. She said it’s also one of the most educational. “We are trying to help kids and parents see that there are a lot of fun ways to learn math,” Haught said. “It’s also a chance for the students to show their parents the building and create a connection between school and home.” During Math Night, each grade level sets up a table with various games and activities dedicated to the type of math that grade is studying. For example, fourthgraders played Multiplication TicTax-Toe and fifth-graders enjoyed Factor Bingo. Fourth-grader Bailey Davidson said she likes Math Night because she gets to spend quality time with her father and learn fun ways to practice her math skills. “At Math Night, you get to learn about math and have fun,” Davidson said. “And you get to take activities and other fun stuff home with you.”

SCHOOL NOTES Honors

Students Christine Smith, Sydney Sparks, Caitlin Stamper, John Schlaak and Joseph Speth earned first honors for the first quarter at Covington Latin School. Students Matt Gibson, Sarah Sparks and Matthew Highley earned second honors. Smith is from New Richmond. Sydney Sparks, Sarah Sparks and Gibson are from Union Township. Stamper is from Batavia. Schlaak, Speth and Highley are from Amelia.

Grant awards

Two Summerside Elementary staff members were recently awarded grants. First-grade teacher Sally Smith received a Learning Links Grant of $500 from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation. The money will be used for kindergarten through second-grade teachers to have books to reinforce, compliment and teach the lessons presented in the Comprehension Toolkit by Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudis. Sarah Vakharia, intervention specialist, was awarded a $3,200 mini-grant from the Clermont County Mental Health Board. The grant will be used to develop the Summerside Sam Student Store, fund projects that will support use of the OLWEUS Anti-Bullying Program and the Positive Behavior Support Program.

Haught said the kids take home worksheets and activities to play with their families. This year, they also got to take home small pumpkins. Jennifer Clemmons brought her first-grade son Dylan and younger daughter Lily to Math Night. Clemmons said they’ve been trying to be involved in all the school activities. “I think (being involved) is important and I know they love

it,” Clemmons said. “Math Night gets them out of the house and they learn without realizing it.” In addition to the activities and games, students could participate in a cupcake walk, pick up raffle tickets to win painted pumpkins and enjoy a free dinner thanks to the PTO. “This is one of our best events,” said Principal Tonya Schmidt. “It shows them that math can be fun.”

With dropping temperatures and inclement weather on the horizon, construction crews at the new Amelia and WIthamsvilleTobasco elementary schools are working to dry-in the buildings. Ed Dyer, the director of administrative services at the West Clermont Local School District, said crews are planning to have the buildings temporarily dried-in (with plastic over the windows and portable heat) during the first week of November. The permanent dry in (with doors, windows and roofs installed) is expected to be complete by the first week in December, he said. Having a building dried-in means the interior is protected from the elements. “They’ve been working hard preparing for winter. There’s a real push to make those dates because they know, if (the buildings) don’t get dried-in, work will slow down,” Dyer said. “Everything is moving along ... We don’t foresee any obstacles or anything that will keep us from making those dates.” While the ground is still soft, the construction crews also will start working on installing light posts and some of the landscaping – basically things that won’t be disturbed by future construction, Dyer said. “Barring any major issues, we should finish on time and on budget,” Dyer said. The district is hoping to have the new buildings open for the start of the 2010-2011 school year. In addition to getting the buildings dried in, crews are almost finished putting up the exterior brick veneer. Superintendent Gary Brooks said it’s been great to watch the buildings take shape. “The construction of our two new school buildings is going well ... They are an outward and visible sign of the excellent instruction that happens in our classrooms each day,” Brooks said. “It is a rare privilege to be part of actually making the hopes and dreams of the West Clermont community become a concrete reality for our students.” Dyer said the district is working on putting together bids for technology and furniture. Those bids will likely go out before the end of the year.

NR snaps 7-year tournament drought By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

A calculated gamble on a two-point conversion paid off with a Division III playoff berth for the New Richmond Lions. For the first time since 2001, New Richmond (9-1) advanced to the Division III playoffs after posting a lastminute win in week 10 over Greeneville, 14-13. New Richmond finished No. 5 in the Division III Region 12 Harbin Ratings (9-1 with 17.87 computer average) and open the playoffs with a road game against No. 4 Logan Elm (8-2 with 20.25 average) at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6. “This team has paid its dues in terms of time and work. They deserve the chance to be one of the final 32 teams playing,” Lion head coach Dan Scholz said of making the playoffs. “The seniors on this team have really grown and matured into great leaders. “Our players have done a great job and deserve everything they can get,” Scholz added. The Lion seniors’ careers ultimately boiled down to a single fake kick following a grueling, 10-week campaign. Rather than playing for overtime in week 10, New Richmond head coach Dan Scholz elected to fake an extra point with his Lions trailing Greeneville, 13-12, with only 40 seconds

remaining in the fourth quarter. Scholz decided he was going to call a fake kick and go for the win at the start of the Lions’ 80-yard scoring drive, the coach said. “I didn’t want to make a spur-of-the-moment decision,” Scholz said of the two-point conversion. “I was very confident in how they were going to lineup (for the extra point) and I thought we had a good chance of getting in.” With 40 seconds left, junior Garrett Myers scored on a 14-yard touchdown run while capping an 80yard drive for the Lions. The score cut New Richmond’s deficit to one point, 13-12, and gave Scholz a chance to call his play. Moments later, New Richmond celebrated its successful two-point conversion after a pitch from senior Mike Skaggs to senior kicker Mike Maupin gave the Lions a one-point lead over Greeneville, 1413. “We had to turn around and make sure the kick coverage and defense was ready,” Scholz said. “It was a fun moment but at the same time we had to compose ourselves quickly.” Lion senior Kevin Hamilton intercepted a Greeneville pass to ice the win – and subsequent New Richmond playoff berth – with seven seconds remaining in the game.

“After that, we felt pretty good,” Scholz joked of the tense moments at the close of the regular season. “We are ecstatic about (the playoffs). You play for the chance to win a state title. That’s why you play.” Scholz was quick to credit offensive co-ordinator Chuck Warden for the Lions’ game-winning drive. Scholz and his coaching staff are in their third year at New Richmond. “(Warden) has worked hard at putting together a two-minute offense. We went into hurry-up mode and let our players find the edge,” Scholz said. “We got out in the grass where we could run.” Myers rushed for 53 yards on 18 carries in week 10. New Richmond senior Andrew Nealan contributed 91 yards on 15 carries during the win over Greeneville. The Lions went to the playoffs in 1999, 2000 and 2001 before beginning its post-season slump. “I think it’s incredible,” Scholz said of snapping the seven-year playoff drought. “We are continuing to take the steps toward making a very good high school program. We don’t want to be a one-year wonder.” New Richmond opened the season at 7-0 before suffering a week-eight loss to Goshen, 21-14. Goshen finished at 8-2 and took first place in the Southern Buckeye Conference American Division at 7-0 in the league. Standing at 9-1 overall, New Richmond finished second in the SBC American

Division with a 6-1 league record. Goshen finished No. 1 in the Division III Region 12 Harbin ratings with a 21.57 computer average. The rest of the playoff qualifiers in Division III Region 12 included No. 2 Wyoming (10-0), No. 3 Chaminade-Julienne (8-2), No. 4 Logan Elm (8-2), No. 5 New Richmond (9-1), No. 6 Monroe (8-2), No. 7 Eaton (8-2) and No. 8 Shawnee (7-3). If victorious in round one, New Richmond advances to face the winner of Goshen vs. Springfield Shawnee during the regional semi-finals Friday, Nov. 13.

Williamsburg 24, CNE 0

The Wildcats’ win streak extended to three games with its victory in week 10 over Clermont Northeastern, 24-0. With the win, Williamsburg improved to 4-6 including victories during the final three weeks of the season. Williamsburg was 1-6 through seven games before finding its stride for the end of the 2009 campaign. The Wildcats began its win streak in week eight with a victory over its rivals from Batavia, 7-6. In week nine, Williamsburg posted a shut-out win over Landmark Christian, 35-0, followed by another shut-out victory, 24-0, over CNE in week 10. Williamsburg’s earlyseason win was a victory over Clark Montessori, 216, in week three. Against CNE, senior quarterback Marcus Barber

led the Wildcats with 158 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Williamsburg scored three points in the first half against CNE before posting 21 points in the second half.

Blanchester 14, Batavia 8

Batavia snapped its fivegame losing streak with its victory in week 10 over Blanchester, 14-8. The Bulldogs improved to 3-7 with the win. Batavia was once 2-2 after winning back-to-back games in week three (35-13 over New Miami) and week four (21-20 over Clermont Northeastern). However, the Bulldogs were only able to win oneof-six games during the remainder of the 2009 campaign.

McNick freshman Kayla Fritz bumps the ball to a teammate in a tournament game against Bethel-Tate.

The No. 1-seeded McNicholas High School girls volleyball team cruised to a sectional title after defeating No. 11 Bethel and No. 7 Norwood. McNick fell to Tippecanoe Oct. 31 at Fairmont in the district tournament. Head coach Denny Murphy said he was pleased with how the girls played this season. “They played pretty well,” he said. “It’s hard to argue with a 15-9 record.” He said he wasn’t really sure what to expect from his team this season after graduating seven players from the 2008 team. “We always have high expectations in the program but we were replacing most of the lineup,” he said. “We’re young but they play hard and when you play hard you always have a chance.” The team has six seniors, Annie Wolfer, Anne Kunkler, Sarah Rudolph, Lori Bosse, Alli Kirby and Anna

McNick is powered by its strong senior class. The seniors, from left: Anna Pieper, Sarah Rudolph, Anne Kunkler, Lori Bosse, Annie Wolfer and Alli Kirby. Pieper, and Murphy said they did a good job setting the tone for the team during summer workouts. Murphy said the biggest difference in how the team has played at the end of the season is experience. “The kids have learned their positions and know what to do,” he said. “We have talented kids but it’s the experience in their roles that is important.” Postseason success is nothing new for the Rockets, which seem to cruise at this point of the year every season. Murphy said the key to the program’s success over the past decade has three factors. “We have a really good coaching staff, we play a

competitive schedule and we have consistent, dedicated players coming into our program,” he said. McNick was led in 2009 by junior setter Megan Gilene, junior outside hitter Chelsea Rohlfs and sophomore middle hitter Stephanie Schmidt. “This team just had an ‘it’ factor,” he said. “It wasn’t always pretty but most games we found a way to win.” Ultimately, for Murphy, the biggest wins weren’t the ones on the court. “What we’re doing is teaching the kids how to work within the framework of a team,” he said. “We’re teaching them life lessons. It’s not just about good volleyball.”

Cougars rattled, ousted from tourney tmeale@communitypress.com

The Mount Notre Dame soccer team – which includes a girl from the West Clermont area – was beaten by a team it didn’t even play. Before taking the field for the Division I Sectional Final against Anderson Oct. 26, the Cougars watched league rival St. Ursula – which is vying for its third straight state title and boasts possibly the best college prospect in America in Elizabeth Burchenal – survive a 1-0 spellbinder in overtime against Oak Hills. “Our girls watched SUA and saw what they went through, and we became a very mentally unstable team,” MND head coach Doug Conway said. “They were a nervous wreck watching that game and it carried over onto the field.” MND – fresh off a 2-1 victory over previously unbeaten Lakota West – lost 3-0 to Anderson. The three goals were tied for the most surrendered by MND in a

game this season. “They had a great season and made a great run,” Conway said of his team. “One bad game doesn’t mean you had a bad season.” But for MND’s eight seniors, all of whom played varsity for at least three years, the loss was difficult to bear. “It was pretty emotional for them,” Conway said. “This group has been together a long time.” That group includes defenders Chelsea Murphy, Kelsey Gault and Fallon Wujek; midfielders Samantha Gaier, Maggie Speed and Lacie Oliver; and forwards Nora Lavelle and Kiley Powell. “Chelsea has come a long way,” Conway said. “She had as hard a year as you can have last year. Her father died of a heart attack and she dislocated her wrist and missed almost the entire season. But she came back this year and was phenomenal.” It was an up-and-down season for MND, which

The Cougars struggled finding the net early in the season but saw their offensive output increase as the year went on; they averaged 1.39 goals per game. “We changed formations and went to a 4-3-3, so that gave us the ability to produce a little more,” Conway said. Leading the way offensively was freshman Rose Lavelle, who scored 10 goals and dished out three assists. She scored her

biggest goal of the year in the sectional semifinal against Lakota West – a game-winner with 25 seconds left in the match. “When she came out at the end of the first half – and I don’t normally tell people this, but I told her – ‘I know you’re a freshman, but I nominated you for allcity. And that’s something I usually don’t do with freshmen,’” Conway said. “But she’s a special player, and I told her that special players do special things in big games. When she got the ball at the end of that game, I knew she was going to score.” Conway predicts that Lavelle will be one of the top players in the city – and maybe the top player – by the time she is a senior. “Some girls get to varsity and become content,” Conway said. “With her, I don’t see the drive going away.” The MND defense, meanwhile, was stout all season, save for the game against Anderson. The Cougars allowed just 16 goals in 18 games and had eight shutouts. “We were calm under pressure,” said Conway, who was particularly impressed with freshman goalie Sam Shoemaker. “We really didn’t have a varsity-level goalkeeper, and she stepped in and made some big saves,” he said. “She’s one of the reasons we had eight shutouts.” With one freshman scoring goals and another one stopping them, the Cougars figure to be solid for years to come.

The Mount Notre Dame golf team finished ninth at the Division I State Tournament at the Ohio State University Gray Course in Columbus this past weekend. MND shot a 353 as a team, but the Cougars were unable to match Mason, which won a state title with a 316. Senior Kara Brinkmann of Middletown led MND with an 81; she finished 17th overall. “She just has tremendous focus and will power,” head coach Grayson FitzHugh said. “She gets in a zone and keeps going. She has a tremendous temperament for golf; she doesn't get too high and doesn't get too low.” Brinkmann was a sectional champion and finished fourth at districts. She shot a 33 on the back nine to finish with a 70 at sectionals, where she tallied six birdies, including four in a row. “I've been playing golf a long time,” FitzHugh said, “and I've never had six birdies in a round.” Although MND hoped to register a top-five finish at state, it has nevertheless been an amazing season for the Cougars, which struggled to a 1-5 start this season while playing without their No. 2 golfer, senior Molly Mullinger of Kenwood, who was out with a broken wrist.

“She has a tremendous temperament for golf; she doesn't get too high and doesn't get too low.” Grayson FitzHugh MND golf coach But once she returned, the Cougars started clicking. “We started playing a lot better, and their confidence really improved,” FitzHugh said. MND finished third in the conference but finished fourth overall at both sectionals and districts to advance to state. Contributing to MND's run to state were senior Katie Carstens of Batavia, who qualified for state as an individual as a junior; senior Andrea Burns of Blue Ash, who shot four strokes lower at districts than at sectionals; and junior Chelsea Theobald of Anderson Township, who shot an 88 at districts to break 90 for the first time in an 18-hole tournament in her career. “She has one of the best swings on the team,” FitzHugh said of Theobald. It was the Cougars' first appearance at state as a team since 2003, when they won a state title. “It's a testament to how hard they had to work,” FitzHugh said. “I'm really proud of how well they've done. It's been a fun season.”

Milford High School to honor veterans Nov. 8 I was 17 years old when a Navy recruiter approached me on Career Day in my high school in 1994. He informed me about how a military career could change my life in many ways, such as traveling the world, earning a good living and receiving scholarships for college. During our conversation I thought to myself, “I could have a lifelong vacation, a paycheck every month and be surrounded by attractive men in uniform.” I looked at the recruiter and said, “Are you kidding me? Sign me up.” I served four years in the U.S. Navy and during this time my

today. The impact the military had on me was much more than money in my pocket and the chance to travel. The strong sense of camaraderie, discipline and integrity I developed during my enlistment has been and continues to be invaluable. You might ask, what does it mean to be a veteran? Members of the Armed Forces, whether they are active duty or not, made a choice to sacrifice their lives for our freedom to live, work and to pursue the American Dream. In wartime or peacetime, the backbone of our nation are those men and women who have served and

who are now serving our country. These are the fearless, the bravehearts of our homeland; these are our heroes. As a resident of Clermont County I am proud to announce the upcoming events that will take place in Milford during Veteran’s Day Week Nov. 8. There will be a Veteran’s Day celebration which will recognize the service and sacrifices of all veterans who interrupted their high school years in order to serve our country during times of war. All these years later we are giving back to these wartime heroes the very diplomas they gave up in order to keep all of us safe. Six

Government has become too big Due to the difficult economy, all of us have reduced our household spending and tightened our belts. Although government has an obligation to provide vital services for its citizens, it must do so without wasting tax dollars on nonessential programs. Unfortunately, both the state and federal government have not taken the necessary steps toward eliminating wasteful spending and debt. Ohio Gov. Strickland and House Democrats have not handled the recession with Ohioans in mind. Their budget’s underfunded programs and reliance on onetime money will lead to tax increases in the future. Instead of reducing wasteful expenditures, the budget increases spending by $1 billion compared to last fiscal year and uses $7 billion in one-time funds as temporary support for the creation of new programs. Like Ohio’s Democrat-controlled government, the federal government is also devouring your taxes as it funds uncontrolled

growth and spending. They have not offered to share the same sacrifices that all of us here in Ohio endure. The 2009 Danny Bubp federal budget is to Community expected deepen our debt Press guest by $2 trillion columnist and, regardless of how fiscally responsible you have been your whole life, you and your children will be handed the bill. Now that the government is nearly $12 trillion in debt, at some point shouldn’t the credit card be taken away? The federal deficit should be a concern to everyone. Do our elected officials truly have our best interests in mind? We cannot solve our debt crisis by falling even deeper into debt, and higher taxes and higher spending will not repair the suffering economy! I will continue to be our com-

munity’s voice of fiscal responsibility in Columbus. Ohioans need positive change, not change that will permanently put our children in debt. As your state representative I am working toward policy improvements that will allow you, the taxpayer, to keep more of their hard-earned money. Please plan to attend the Seaman Fall Festival in Seaman which begins Sept. 25 and runs through Sept. 27. Also plan to attend the Brown County Fair which begins on Monday, Sept. 28 in Georgetown. The fair kicks off with a parade Monday at 5:30 p.m. and runs through Sunday, Oct. 4. I am honored to be the guest speaker for the Veterans Recognition Program in the Center Ring, Thursday, Oct. 1 at 6:30 p.m. Please contact my office with any questions or concerns regarding legislative issues. You may call my office at (614) 644-6034 or write to me at Representative Danny Bubp, 77 S. High Street, 10th Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215. You may also e-mail me at District88@ohr.state.oh.us.

Takeover of health care is not reform The United States is home to the best doctors and hospitals in the world. We are blessed to be living in a country on the forefront of cuttingedge, life-saving technology and pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately, the rapid advances in medical care and treatment that we have seen over the past few decades have come with a steep price tag. Ever increasing costs of medical coverage have left many Americans without access to the life-saving treatment many of us take for granted. President Obama is correct when he says the costs associated with our current health care system are unsustainable. Too many Ohio families cannot afford health care coverage and too many Ohio employers are struggling to provide coverage for their employees. As costs for coverage continue to climb, the quality of the coverage we have continues to decline. Having insurance that doesn’t pay much is little comfort to those who rely on coverage when it is needed. There is broad support in Congress for reforms that will increase competition, make coverage more affordable for families and individuals, ensure coverage for pre-existing conditions and allow individuals to retain their health care when changing jobs. Unfortunately, the health care reform bill that Speaker Pelosi will bring to the House floor in the near future will actually increase the cost of health care coverage, mandates a government take over, force people

out of their current coverage and lead to the loss of millions of jobs. Under the speaker’s plan, the federal government would establish miniJean mum coverage Schmidt requirements for Community acceptable health Individuals Press Guest plans. will be required to Columnist be covered. If you choose not to obtain coverage or cannot afford coverage, you will be penalized 2.5 percent of your Modified Adjusted Gross Income. Employers with a payroll exceeding $250,000 will be required to provide acceptable coverage to all of their employees. Those who choose not to provide coverage or cannot afford to do so, will be penalized 8 percent of their payroll costs. According to the non-partisan Lewin Group, these provisions will cause 114 million individuals to lose their current health coverage. The Congressional Budget Office has concluded all the changes to our health care system will cost almost $1.3 trillion – at a minimum. To pay these costs, the speaker proposes to impose a surcharge on individuals earning more than $280,000. Unfortunately, of taxpayers who file in the top income brackets, more than half are small businesses filing as individuals. According to the

National Association of Manufacturers, 68 percent of manufacturers file as individuals and they have an average payroll of $570,000. Using a formula developed by President Obama’s own economic advisers, these tax increases will lead to the loss of 4.7-million jobs. At a time when our economy is in the throes of a deep recession and Ohio’s unemployment rate has topped 11 percent, we should be working to increase employment and actually lower the costs of health care coverage. This plan does the opposite. In fact, in recent congressional testimony, the director of the Congressional Budget Office said this plan would actually increase the costs of health care as well as increase the federal budget deficit. We can and must do better. I stand ready to work with my Democratic colleagues to improve our health care system. Let’s start over and work in a bipartisan way to accomplish this important goal for the American people. But, let us first agree to some core principles. No one should be forced to accept worse coverage than they already have. No one should be forced to change doctors. Finally, we should all agree that the easiest way to help those who don’t have and desperately need coverage, is to reduce the cost of everyone’s coverage.

Great Scott diner new to Amelia By John Seney jseney@communitypress.com

In these tough economic times, a trip back to the 1950s might be just what people are looking for. Owners of the recentlyopened Great Scott Diner in Amelia are hoping moderately-priced food and a classic 1950s look will attract customers. The restaurant is owned by Scott Elsaesser and Laura Krauser, who also operate another Great Scott restaurant at 1020 Ohio Pike in Withamsville. While the original restaurant is more of a casual neighborhood restaurant, the new restaurant emphasizes the diner concept. “We wanted to experiment with the diner concept, and this building

Extensive renovation was required to turn the building into a classic ‘50s style diner, Krauser

said. Some of the retro features include restored classic cars inside and outside, black and white tile floors, vinyl seating and a 1950s Crosley television playing 1950s commercials and cartoons. Krauser said she is not

concerned about opening up a new business in tough economic times. “People still want to go out to eat,” she said. She pointed out that during the Great Depression of the 1930s, diners grew and thrived while everything else was closing. Krauser said the new restaurant has done well in its first week of operation. “It has exceeded our expectations,” she said. And the new restaurant has not hurt business at the original Great Scott, she said. The diner menu features breakfast all day, hamburgers, fries, shakes, malts, floats and gourmet root beer. Krauser said an average meal would run about $8 a person.

The longing that never goes away in you.” Admit it or not, there is a spiritual component of o u r nature. It Father Lou is a longGuntzelman ing for the Perspectives transcendent, for God. For a creature, total fulfillment will only be found permanently with its Creator. Strange, but many of us fear our spiritual longing. Why fear it? One reason is because we think it will cost us too much of our humanness and the enjoyment of this life. Paradoxically, it will increase it. We fear, as Francis Thompson feared as he ran from God, “Lest having thee, I might have naught else besides.” We also fear publicly admitting our need for God because of the secular implications that say only the mentally deficient believe in a God. In response to this fear of spirituality, James W. Jones, professor of religion at Rut-

gers University, says, “The struggle to find meaning by connecting with a universal, cosmic, moral and sacred reality represents not a failure of nerve, the onset of premature senility, or a lapse into neurosis, but is rather a natural part of the unhindered development process. The denial of this quest for the transcendent debilitates and impoverishes our life.” Got that? This doctor of psychology at a prestigious university is telling us it’s quite normal to realize you long for God. You’re not neurotic or senile for doing so, you’re not weird; in fact you’re being true to your nature. It makes your life worse by not doing so. Spirituality is not optional. Certainly we need material possessions to live, and enjoyment to thrive, but we need a spiritual dimension to live fully. It enables us to find purpose and meaning and connects us our source and destiny. It fills out our picture. The fact that longing constantly nips at our heels proves it’s not optional. It’s crucial for general health. “Among all my patients in the second half of life,

that is to say over 35, there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life,” wrote Carl Jung. Our consumer society tries to contradict that Jungian idea. It says our longing is exclusively for this world and this world can completely satisfy. Ridiculous! A society

that tells its people they should live a certain way, if that way is fundamentally in opposition to what people are by nature, produces what Nietzsche termed the “sick animal.” There is a longing down deep where the sparks of our humanity smolder. Though we enjoy this wonderful world, our longing wants to call us ever

The experience of longing is familiar to everyone. Throughout a lifetime we long for myriads of things – a special toy, a friend, popularity, a lover, more money, better sex, a promotion, health and so it goes. Yet no matter what we acquire or achieve the ache of longing is never completely erased. Eventually there’s something or someone else we think we need in order to be happy. Longing is a sign of our incompleteness. We never reach a prolonged time when we hold something in our hands and say, “This is all I ever wanted and all I will ever need.” One of last century’s most prominent Protestant theologians, Jurgen Moltmann, wrote: “Once awakened by specific promises that stretch further than any fulfillment … once we have caught in them a whiff of the future, we remain restless and urgent, seeking and searching beyond all experiences of fulfillment …” St. Augustine told us the same centuries ago, “You have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are ever restless until they rest

Chilly weather outside means chili inside Plus, Rita’s grandson ‘fishes’ for birthday dinner

I had to laugh when grandson Jack requested tilapia from Keegan’s Seafood for his fourth birthday’s dinner. It’s a small shop in Mount Washington owned by Tom Keegan. K e e Rita gan’s a Heikenfeld w a l k i n g encyclopeRita’s kitchen dia for seafood and loves showing the kids all the different varieties to make them more aware about eating healthy. The reason I laughed is when we were growing up, the only seafood we ate was frozen whiting, fried, and fresh bass caught by my Mom and brother, Charlie. I didn’t even know what

tilapia was until I was in my 30s. We need to support independent folks like Tom. So if you have a favorite independent deli/grocer, etc. let me know and I’ll feature them and a signature recipe in an upcoming column. I want to hear from readers across the board: north, south, east and west!

Herb crusted halibut

Any nice white fish will do. When I teach seafood classes, this is a student favorite. Four servings halibut, skinless, 6 to 8 oz. each 1 ⁄2 cup approx. Dijon mustard Salt and pepper 1 ⁄2 cup basil, finely chopped 1 ⁄4 cup each: cilantro, mint, parsley, chives and dill, finely chopped Butter Pat fish dry. Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper and lightly brush both sides with mustard. Combine herbs and place in shallow dish. Press both sides of fish into herb mix-

ture, coating evenly. In a nonstick pan, melt about 2 tablespoons butter and turn heat to medium. Add fish. Cook several minutes on each side, until done. Tips from Rita’s kitchen: Don’t overcook fish. When it flakes easily, it’s done. Seafood 101: Watch my cable TV show with Tom on Union Township TV (Warner 8 and 15) to learn all you need to know about seafood.

Melissa’s Schaiper’s easy chicken chili

There’s a good amount of interest in the chicken chili Good Samaritan serves in their cafeteria. Friend, great cook and Good Sam’s cath lab queen (my given title) Kay Hitzler found out it’s a purchased product.

Kay’s group in the catheter lab held a tailgating lunch and Melissa Schaiper, a colleague of Kay’s, brought a crockpot chicken chili that was a huge hit. Kay said Melissa’s chili is a bit spicier than Good Sam’s. So I would say use a mild salsa.

communitypress.com and at www.abouteating.com

Rita’s lower fat Fiddle Faddle clone

I developed this for the book “Sports Nutrition for Idiots.” Flaxseed is optional and the store-bought version doesn’t contain this. 4 cups popped corn 1 tablespoon flaxseed 1 cup caramel ice cream topping, heated in microwave

Spray crockpot. Add:

1 pound chicken breast 4 cups canned Great Northern beans 12 oz. salsa 1 teaspoon each: cumin and garlic Cook six hours on low. An hour before serving, stir in 4 ounces of pepper jack cheese. Serve with 4 more ounces of cheese. Tips from Rita’s kitchen: If you want, stir in more cumin and garlic after six hours. More chili recipes: In my online column at www.

Mix popcorn and flax. Pour topping over, stirring to coat as well as you can. Pour onto sprayed cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 250degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Makes 4 cups.

Rooting out recipes

Fern’s chili. For Pam Timme. “It was in the Enquirer long ago and I’ve lost it.” I’m wondering if it’s Fern Storer’s recipe. She was the Post food editor for years and a wonderful cook. Red Lobster’s sun-

dried tomato salad dressing. For Dwight. He had no luck calling the company. (They don’t serve it anymore). He also went online, researched recipe books, etc. Mio’s creamy garlic dressing. Spoke with Chris Forbes, owner of the Milford Mio’s. “Can’t divulge it. There’s garlic, sour cream, milk, pepper and sugar in it.” When I asked if there was any vinegar, lemon juice, etc., he said no. If anyone has a creamy garlic recipe similar, please share. Bravo’s strawberry lasagna for Betty Hawley. I’m giving up on this Augusta, Ky., restaurant’s dessert. I’ve made several calls to the owner, who at first thought she might share, but she hasn’t returned my calls.

Grange convention was a good one

Imagine being awoken in the middle of the night by your mother and having to flee your home. What would you grab first? Would you even have time to grab anything? What if all you had with you were the clothes on your back? And it was winter? Chances are whatever situation drove you from your home aren’t ideal. The Clermont County Public Library continues to seek ways to go beyond the reach of its book-lined walls to engage and support the Clermont County community in unique ways. Enter the Felicity Branch Library and several volunteers. What first began as a small, library-quilting group has quickly branched out to become an independent group known as the Cardinal Quilters. Several members of the Cardinal Quilters Sept. 28 presented the YWCA & House of Peace (Clermont County battered women’s shelter) with several quilts to be used by those seeking emergency shelter either from abusive partners or hazardous living conditions. The Eastern Area YWCA of Cincinnati serves Clermont, Brown, and Adams County and assists more than 200 people a year - 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Cara Good, Eastern Area Services Director for the YWCA acknowledges the role volunteers play at

YWCA & House of Peace. “We really need volunteers to answer the hotline. Volunteers will be trained extensively and always work under the supervision of a paid YWCA staff member.” The connection between Clermont County Public Library and YWCA can trace its history to the inception of the House of Peace. Felicity Branch Library Adult Services Specialist Amy Vogel and founder of the Cardinal Quilters is daughter to Madeline Richmond, cofounder of the House of Peace. Kathleen Johnson, spokesperson for the Cardinal Quilters explains their mission. “We were looking for a community agency to donate our time and skills to. The YWCA and House of Peace seemed like the perfect fit for our quilting group and a great way to honor Madeline Richmond’s memory.” The Cardinal Quilters meet the fourth Tuesday of every month at the Felicity Branch Library at 6 p.m. Attendance ranges from eight to 15 quilters. All experience levels are welcome. For more information on joining Cardinal Quilters, contact Amy Vogel at 8764134. The YWCA and House of Peace is also looking for more helping hands. Contact Cara Good at 7320450 to volunteer for more information.

Ruth Ann took two photographs and one doily. Bonnie took a sled painted with Santa Claus. Linda took scrapbook pages and a Christmas stocking. On the way we saw a field with a herd of buffalo and some big horned cattle. The trees were colored up fine. The Good Lord is the only one to paint a perfect picture. While we were eating at one of the banquets, a lady at our table held up her glass of water and said I have a lima bean in my water. Now that doesn’t happen often, but when everyone got a look, by golly there it was. The waiter took the glass of water and got another for her so everyone looked to see if there was another bean in it, but there was not. The youth have a table in the hall with several items folks have donated for them to raffle. Folks can buy tickets and put them in the bag, whichever item they wish, then the drawing took place at the youth luncheon Sunday. It seems three of our folks got their

name drawn to get items: Mark, Maynard and Linda. They were the lucky ones, then Bonnie had bought a ticket for an afghan, which the deputies association had as a fundraiser, and they drew her name. Congratulations! Ruth Ann and I got home Sunday at 6 p.m. Last Monday, the health department was giving the H1N1 shots to the school students. The Bethel Lions Club had 11 Lions members plus two wives, helping with the paperwork. This was a service the Lions Club can do to help and the club is always willing to help. The health department will be at different schools and this is wonderful. The community thanks the health department. Start your week by going to the church of your choice and praise the Good Lord. God Bless All. More Later. George Rooks is a retired park ranger. Rooks served for 28 years with the last five as manager of East Fork State Park.

mentioned this project to the ladies in her church and they took it on. They made 100 George bags. The Rooks bags are decOle orated on Fisherman the front, then have a Christmas ornament, a hand-written note or card and some hard candy in it. With the crafts the Junior Grangers made and the crafts for the adults, clothing and other items the truck inside was full. Then the three boxes of bags were put in the back of the truck. It is always good to have the crafts to take that the Grangers young and older make. The rooms at the convention where these are displayed are usually full. The delegates and deputies are always eager to see how the crafts scored. The Juniors get 16 awards. I will not tell who got what but each one got something.

Howdy folks, Well, it’s been another busy week for the Ole Fisherman and wife. It seems things don’t slow much. I forgot last week to write about a couple folks who passed away. One was Bob Bruine, a wonderful person. His wife retired from the Bethel Building and Loan. They got to do lots of traveling and spent the winters in Florida. This feller will be missed by the community and by us. The other person was Bill Rippey. He was excited about his collection of Ford tractors and he had some beautiful ones. He always displayed them in the antique machinery show at Georgetown. We left last Wednesday for Cleveland to attend the Grange convention. The ride was good. The sun was shining and traffic was not bad. It took us 4.5 hours to make the trip. The truck was loaded. One of our members of Monroe Grange at Nicholsville had made 50 lunch bags for the service folks across the world. She

Child support roundup beneficial Throughout the month of August, Child Support Awareness Month, a special emphasis was given to locate those who were negligent in making child support payments. Those efforts resulted in the collection of $17,713 in overdue child support payments. “The seventh annual Clermont County Child Support Roundup was success-

ful, resulting in the arrests of 116 individuals who were behind in making their child support payments,” said Clermont Child Support Enforcement (CSE) Director Brenda Gilreath. “In addition, the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office was able to locate 41 child support offenders who are incarcerated in other state or county institutions. Nine warrants were withdrawn, due to

compliance.” The individuals targeted were behind in child support payments and had bench warrants and/or outstanding criminal warrants issued for their arrest. Bench warrants are issued when an individual fails to attend a required court hearing, fails to report to jail (as ordered by the court), or when indicted for felony criminal non-support.

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.
