The February snows have forced the village of Glendale to postpone two public works projects – erecting two signs along Sharon Road.
Inching along through snow Most just bundle up, adapt to weather By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
The snow that has blanketed Glendale will delay a project that will improve signage in the village. The project, to erect signs directing visitors to businesses, will be put on hold until the snow melts, according to Village Administrator Walter Cordes. The public works department will build two islands along Sharon Road, at Willow and Greenville avenues, where the signs will be posted, but that won’t be possible until the snow is gone.

Vanessa Lindsey of Glendale walks home from the store in the street since she needs not share with many cars. Sleds flowed as well in Glendale, where Gunny Hill was still closed for kids to spend time outdoors on their second snow day from Princeton City Schools. Wyoming schools were closed for a second day, as well, but the snow didn’t keep diners from visiting Half Day Cafe, either. Restaurant owner Dale Hipsley
said many of his customers can walk to the cafe, at the corner of Wyoming Avenue and Springfield Pike, so snowy roads weren’t a factor on Monday, either, as the snow came down throughout the day. “It’s a good family adventure,” he said of the short local trek to the restaurant.
American Foods to expand, add jobs in Sharonville By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
A company in Sharonville that packages ground beef for sale at grocery stores such as Kroger is planning to expand its facility, adding jobs to the area. American Foods Group will renovate its facility on Kemper Road and will add a new portion in July. The expansion will bring about 20 new jobs initially, growing to about 50 when the expansion is complete, according to Scott Strasinger, supply chain manager.
FALHABER A Family Tradition Since 1980
Though the snow has delayed the sign project, the roads were cleared for traffic during the Level 2 snow emergency, enabling people to enjoy the Sharonville Community Center. “The public works department is so good in Sharonville, that we usually see zero change,” said Michael Blomer, special events coordinator for the Sharonville Recreation Department. “We don’t see much fluctuation,” he said. Similar opinions were echoed in Glendale, Wyoming and Springdale, where traffic flowed without incident Tuesday.

The jobs will be in the areas of machine operator, labor and maintenance, Strasinger said. “It’s a little bit of every type of hourly wage job,” he said. The current facility is 46,000 square feet. The company will add 15,000. The expansion is expected to be completed by mid-summer. The company takes ground beef and makes it case-ready to be shipped to five Kroger warehouses in the region, Strasinger said. “It’s all ready to go.” “We are very supportive of this expansion,” Sharonville economic

Mayor warns about parking cars By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com
Evendale Mayor Don Apking has no tolerance for residents who do not follow the rules when it comes to parking their cars. Apking sent out a stern warning at the Feb. 11 village council that if residents continue to park their cars in the grass and not on hard surfaces they will face fines. Evendale village code states that all cars must be parked on hard surfaces which includes gravel driveways. Councilmember Chris Schaefer said residents who have had gravel driveways do not face tickets, but that throwing gravel down to
park cars is not the solution. “I can’t dump gravel in my yard and call it a d r i v e w a y, ” Apking Schaefer said. Apking said the first offense will earn a warning, but any offenses after that will get residents a ticket. Apking said the fine will increase with each violation. He is warning residents now so that if they do not follow the rules, they will not be surprised when they receive a ticket. “If it’s not a hard surface, don’t park it there cause we’re going to come get you,” Apking said.

Glendale salon greets greyhounds on road to freedom By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com

The Dog Depot in Glendale has become one of the stations in a greyhound journey from race dog to pet. Queen City Greyhound, a nonprofit organization that helps find homes for retired race dogs, brought a group of eight to the grooming salon for their first baths and taste of freedom. Natalie Lotspeich, who owns the Dog Depot, closes the salon for the day. She donates her time, facility and supplies to Queen City Greyhounds. “When we bring them to Natalie, these dogs have never had a bath in their
lives,” said Kurt Freimuth, director of marketing for Queen City. “They are filthy.” “These dogs have never experienced play or pampering,” Lotspeich said. “Many have only been crated. They run on hard surfaces and live in a kennel. “They respond well to the (pampering) treatment,” she said. On the dogs’ recent February trip, Queen City rescued its 100th greyhound in the organization’s short, two-year existence. The dog, Sugar, is now with a foster family. Freimuth explained the process. The dogs, retired from racing for reasons ranging

Before the eight-hour ride to Glendale, they are treated for fleas. When they arrive at the Dog Depot, they take time for a fun run and play, then are bathed. Each receives a new collar to replace the plastic version they previously wore. Then, foster parents collect them and they enter a new life as pets. “To go from racer to pet can be fairly significant,” Freimuth said. “These dogs, by and large, have never seen glass windows or screen doors or animals other than greyhounds.
Some have never climbed steps or walked on grass. “They have never played with anything,” he said. “We literally teach them how to play.” “It’s amazing,” Lotspeich said. “I’m in the middle of a journey to a new life.” Previously, the dogs had a strict routine that revolved around the business of racing. “To have them out and free and walking around a house with nothing to do can be unsettling,” Freimuth said of their new lives. “It’s a big transition. “That’s why we foster then,” he said. “It’s a labor of love.”

Art Institute of Cincinnati designs graphics program By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
The Art Institute of Cincinnati draws from the business community of entrepreneurs in a college program that offers an associate’s degree and hands-on experience. The Springdale college, concluding a decade of education, teaches students in a way that incorporates the business setting they will be entering upon graduation. “Look around you,” said Marion Allman, president and CEO of the art institute. “Design is all around you.” Design is all around the college, as well, as the art institute displays work created by its students and faculty. Six instructors teach an average of 75 full-time students per term. The maximum is 100. “We want to be selective and get good talent,” Allman said. During the first year of

Trash as treasure: Wyoming schools reduce waste at lunchtime By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
Wyoming school district counted down to zero recently, as its Go Green initiative held a Zero Waste Lunch, challenging students to throw away as little as possible during lunchtime. Throughout the previous week, the schools had monitored how many trash bags were filled during lunch,
with a goal of decreasing that number. Wyoming Middle School hung posters showing the number of bags of trash collected each day. They showed eight or nine bags for a few days, down to six bags, and finally, bottoming out at three bags on Zero Lunch Day. Lauren Young, who spearheaded the Middle School effort, said the day-

to-day reduction in trash was encouraging. “The kids have been supportive in student government,” she said of the students who created the posters and supported the event. Caroline Reinecke volunteered to monitor the waste cans, where students placed items according to whether they could be recycled or should be thrown away as trash. “It’s great that they’re recycling, and that the kids are aware,” said Reinecke, whose son Oliver, is in seventh-grade. “As parents, we also have to be aware of how we’re packaging things so there is less garbage.” Fifth-grader Tess Young brought her lunch in an insulated bag. Inside, her food was packaged in containers that she took home to be washed and re-used. “I like it better because you know you’re not wast-

Parent Kendall Marty, a member of the Go Green team, also volunteered during the middle school lunch. “We wanted to make them aware that they could change habits every day,” she said. “The support we received from the administration and parents was fantastic,” said Heidi Spicer, co-chairwoman of Go Green Wyoming Schools.
Tossing trash
Wyoming’s five schools tracked the number of trash bags filled during lunch the day before the Zero Waste Lunch challenge. Wyoming High School: From eight bags to five bags. Wyoming Middle School: From six bags to three bags. Hilltop Primary: From four bags to one bag. Elm Primary: From three bags to one-and-a-half bags. Vermont Primary: From seven bags to three-and-aquarter bags.

In a deal potentially worth more than $30 billion over the next 20 years, Evendale-based GE Aviation and its French partner Snecma have been chosen to supply the only western engine for China’s first narrow-body jetliner due in 2016, the engine makers announced Monday. CFM International, a joint venture between GE Aviation and Sncema, said it will provide its advanced LEAP-X1C engine for China’s single-aisle C919 jetliner that will seat 150. A global market for more than 2,000 aircraft over the next 20 years has been forecast. “We expect that China will become the largest commercial aviation market in the world over the next two decades, and it’s exciting for GE to be part of that growth,” said Jeff Immelt, GE chairman and CEO. Approval of the jet’s engine use in China also is expected to accelerate CFM’s efforts to launch the LEAP-X as a next-generation engine for both Airbus and Boeing narrow-body jets. The Leap-X, which GE and Snecma envision producing 16 percent better fuel efficiency than current models, was announced in mid-2008. GE earlier this year began initial engine core tests on the design at the Evendale plant. GE and Snecma have targeted the LEAP-X to be ready by 2016, well ahead of the 2020 time period when Boeing and Airbus expect to make decisions on their next-generation engines. CFM and China’s AVIC commercial aircraft engine company have agreed to establish a final assembly line and test facility for the new engine in China.

All about mummies
PROVIDED
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart School’s fifth-graders are learning about the mummification process of Ancient Egypt by using a fresh hen in the science lab. From left, Robert Anderson (Evendale), Mia Lynd (Reading) and Zoe Sand (Mount Healthy) prepare their chicken for mummification by thoroughly drying the inside cavity. Students remove the neck, liver and gizzards, much like Ancient Egyptians removed the internal organs from the dead.
Here, a few students display their chicken stuffed with rock salt. In Ancient times, Natron, a saltlike substance found on the banks of the Nile River, was used to dry the body of its fluids.
Some students think mummies are gross; some think Egypt is boring. Yet fifth-graders at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart School find social studies find it exciting. Mary Osborne is teaching the mummification process of Ancient Egypt to her class using a fresh hen in the school’s science lab. This process of using a whole roasting chicken mimics the ancient practice of preparing a body for burial.

Vikings win 2nd in GMC, send 9 to districts By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
The Princeton High School wrestling team was gunning for a conference championship this season, but the Vikings were more than happy with their second-place finish at the Greater Miami Conference Championships at Oak Hills High School Feb. 13. Princeton finished runner-up to Mason. “To come out and take second is pretty impressive,” Princeton head coach Ty Robbins said. “It kind of shows you where you’re at (before the postseason).” Princeton, which totaled 155.5 team points, finished nearly 50 points shy of Mason (202) but edged Lakota West (151) and Fairfield (145.5), which finished third and fourth, respectively. Rounding out the standings were Oak Hills (110.5), Lakota East (83.5), Middletown (72), Colerain (55), Hamilton (49), Sycamore (35). Three Vikings – Charles Mason (160), Jeremy Stepp (189) and Terry Norton (285) – won their respective weight classes. Mason knocked off Devin Purkiser of Lakota West in the finals, Stepp downed Andy Porter of Mason, and Norton bested Terrion Jackson of Hamilton. “Those three worked extremely hard and had a tough schedule (all year),” Robbins said. Princeton might have

He defeated Milano. had four weight-class champions if not for an injury to Corey Selmon (103), who had to default before the finals due to an undisclosed injury. Brad
Baas of Oak Hills took home the 103-division hardware. Robbins is confident that Selmon, who is 19-3 on the year, would’ve won had he been able to wrestle.
“He’s in a tough weight class, but he dominated it all year,” Robbins said. Princeton also had four wrestlers place third; among them were Kendall Sorrells (119), Jeryd Wilder (140), Deauntay Francis (152) and Darelle Pressley (171). Yet the wrestler Robbins was most impressed with, perhaps, was Greg Boglin (125), who finished fourth. “He didn’t have a winning record coming into the tournament, (but he) placed,” Robbins said. “He really stepped up and showed he’s getting better every week.” Princeton’s performance was a vast upgrade over an eighth-place finish in 2009.
“Our league is tough, but we competed,” Robbins said. “I really want to stress how proud I am of (my) guys.” The Vikings came away with nine district qualifiers after the Feb. 19-20 sectional tournament at Elder. Corey Selmon (103) and Charles Mason (160) won sectional titles for their weight classes. Robbins hopes to send as many wrestlers as possible to the state meet, which will be held March 4-6 in Columbus. “The kids are gearing up for the next couple weeks,” Robbins said. “This is what we’ve been working for all season.”
Williams, Leish lead Wyoming wrestling By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Wyoming High School wrestling team finished fourth in the CHL, missing third place by two points, and will send six wrestlers to districts. “We placed 10 kids and had three champions and that’s the most I’ve had since 2004 when we won the league,” said head coach Brian Pitman. Wyoming seniors Daniel Leish at 152 lbs., Neal Williams at 160 lbs., and Dylan Burke at 215 lbs. all won CHL titles. Williams won his third league title and, as of the league meet, had 140 wins in his career at Wyoming, the most in program history. He also was the lone sectional title champ (160) from Wyoming for his
weight class. “He is such a hard worker,” Pitman said. “He does a lot of extra work. He will go to St. Paris Graham twice a week and do offseason work. He travels a lot to wrestle in tournaments in the offseason and wrestles with different teams.” Pitman said he wrestles with Williams occasionally in practice in order to give him a workout. “He hasn’t had a lot of challenges this season,” Pitman said. “He’s handled a lot of good wrestlers this season.” Williams was 32-1 heading into the sectional meet. Pitman said Williams is a leader by example and that Leish is more of a vocal leader for the Cowboys. Pitman said he expects Williams to make the podium at state and to have a

ability he doesn’t even realize it sometimes. He’s 28-5 and four of those losses came to really good kids in the first month of the season.”

Wyoming senior Ryan Dierker wrestles Reading’s Chris McHale during the CHL Wrestling championships Feb. 13 at Finneytown. Dierker wrestled his way to a thirdplace finish in the 189 pound weight class.
Pitman said the biggest difference with the team this season has been experience. A year ago, Wyoming started a number of freshmen. While the Cowboys still start eight sophomores, those sophomores are more experienced than most underclassmen. “They started as freshmen and took a whooping but now they know what to expect a little bit and we have a number of guys this season over 20 wins. It will be exciting for the next two years but we will need to get some fresh blood into the program too.” Pitman said he’s enjoyed getting to know the kids on the team this season, as it’s something he thinks most coaches take for granted. “I think too many coaches don’t take the time to get to know kids one on one,” he said. “I’m having the kids over to watch an Ultimate Fighting pay-per-view and I’ve taught a number of these kids when they were in second grade, so it’s nice to have that relationship with the kids.” Pitman also said one thing most people don’t notice about his wrestlers is how hard they work. “I don’t think people understand how much work these guys put in,” he said. “They work hard.” Besides Williams, Mikey Gonzalez (130), Daniel Leish (152), Josh Lampert (103), Corbin Guggenheim (125) and Ryan Dierker (189) will go to the district meet after placing in the top four of their weight classes at the Division II sectional meet Feb. 19-20 in Goshen.

A 20-year title drought ended for Ursuline Academy’s varsity basketball team this winter as the Lions captured its first Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League Scarlet Division championship since 1990. The Lions were named as the Enquirer’s Division I poll champion to boot after finishing No. 1 in Cincinnati with 129 points and eight first-place votes. Princeton was No. 2 in the poll with 125 points and five firstplace votes. “It was absolutely wonderful,” Ursuline head coach David Loper said of winning the GGCL title. “I was very happy for them because they worked hard for it. “I knew these kids could be this good and they deserved it,” Loper added.

They can all contribute.” Ursuline clinched its GGCL Scarlet Division title with a win Friday, Feb. 12, over McAuley, 52-44.

The Lions went on to beat Hughes, 55-53, on Feb. 19, before avenging its only loss of the season with a victory Feb. 26 over MND, 49-47. “Those were tough games and we survived them,” Loper said. The Lions opened conference play at 0-1 after a loss to MND dropped Ursuline’s record to 1-1. However, the Lions haven’t lost since and are currently 19-1 including its 9-1 conference record.

Despite the low seeds of Ursuline’s first two tournament opponents, Loper is confident his girls will focus on the task at hand, he said. “All year we have taken things one game at a time and that’s how we are taking the tournament as well,” Loper said. “They all get tough after a certain point in time and anything can happen. “We are excited about the tournament and hopefully good things will happen,” Loper added.

Visitors to Cincinnati.com posted these comments to a story about a public hearing on a plan by Hamilton County commissioners to implement a sales tax to help boost the county’s stadium fund: “Only 3 people showed up? Surprise! Imagine that, considering that the county was under a Level 2 snow emergency at the time of the meeting, and most people who feel the strongest about the issue probably had to work. “Why do they have these hearings during the middle of the work day?

See there are people with brains out there unlike the idiots we have in office now. Maybe they could get a loan from Bedinghaus as he is probably loaded since he works for Mike Brown now.

CH@TROOM Feb. 17 questions
Sharonville City Council is considering an ordinance which would make it illegal for people to shovel snow into a public street. Is this a good idea? Why or why not? “OK, so the Sharonville City Council wants to make a law to stifle individual rights of its citizens on the premise that certain of them shovel snow into the street. I respectively submit such a law to be one-half of a law. The other half must make it illegal for the city snowplow drivers to push snow onto or in front of private driveways. Furthermore, automobiles parked on the public street, when snowplows are necessary, must be removed by their owners or towed away at the owner’s expense to allow proper snow removal. “A question for council: if Sharonville police can’t stop tractor trailers from using our streets to bypass regular truck routes, how will they enforce an ‘antistreet shovel law?’” B.L. Do you plan to fill out your Census form? Why or why not? “I do plan to participate in the coming Census. Right now, I see no reason not to be counted, unless I find questions too intrusive. Then I would think twice.” L.B. “Of course I will fill out my Census form. I don’t see any reason not to.” P.F. “Yes, I consider it un-American not to fill out the form.

should the tax payers have to suffer for their mistakes? Let the city increase parking for the games and add a sales tax increase to the price of the tickets let the people who use the stadium pay for it. This entire stadium deal was idiotic a lame brain could have worked out a better deal.” willowgrove “As long as everyone is told that they can keep all their services and pay less, when the cost of said services keeps going up, there will never be any solutions.

“It is very much not my fault that the GOP county commission sold these bad deals to the taxpayers during the 1990s and early 2000s, but I’m all for finally paying for it to get us out of this mistake.

Maple Knoll resident finds full life By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
Not even a snowstorm can keep Jerry Pietch from playing water volleyball on Tuesday afternoons. Every week the Maple Knoll Village resident dives into the game that often uses a beach ball. “I have hobbies to keep me occupied,” said Pietch, 78, a resident of Maple Knoll in Springdale for the past 15 years. “This is my day,” he said. “I get up, eat, work out, play, eat, play, eat, play and go to bed.” His choice of playtime, however, has benefited Maple Knoll, according to Becky Schulte, director of communications. One of his pastimes is computers, “but I provide hands-on help to the residents,” Pietch said. He creates stained glass projects, and has taken up weaving. “Now, people are commissioning me,” he said of requests that include placemats and blankets. He learned how to edit video, which he calls one of his pleasures. “I enjoy learning,” Pietch said. “I’ve been lucky and I’ve been healthy so I can do things that are a pleasure.” Pietch and his wife, Elaine, work out every day at the Wellness Center. “We exercise either on the equipment or at the

We have boundaries, but don’t keep score. “It’s amazing the coordination it takes,” he said, “but mostly it’s a laughing time.” In between play times, Pietch volunteers on a variety of committees, including activity, advocacy and education groups. “He volunteers to do everything,” Schulte said of Pietch, who also helped organize Maple Knoll’s Senior Olympics last year. The games included 12 events in which about 45 residents participated. Among them were chair volleyball, water volleyball, spoon races and a water balloon toss. “It was fun,” he said. “I help with things that make life here more enjoyable,” he said. “And just different.”

Easy-to-care-for plants good for indoor environment Just about now, you may be saying to yourself that you’ve had enough of winter and need something to get you out of the winter blues. Besides a trip to the Caribbean, let me suggest this: Add a few indoor plants to your décor! For years now research continues to show us that having both flowering and tropical plants around us indoors can do so much for our well being. They can perk up our moods, help us to study better, reduce fatigue, lower stress, bring us positive vibes, give us something to take care of, make us feel good, and in many cases can actually help heal us. Yes, studies have shown that many patients having flowers or plants in their rooms have a better recov-
ery. On the other hand, flowers and f o l i a g e plants can also bring comfort to those in Ron Wilson mourning. To top all In the of this off, garden h a v i n g foliage plants indoors helps reduce indoor air pollution so we can breathe better! Studies at NASA have shown us that having two medium sized foliage plants every 100 square feet (or so) is enough to help remove indoor air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and many others. And of course, replaces those pollutants with good old oxygen. So, now you’re saying, “OK, sounds good, but I
can’t grow anything indoors.” Well, believe it or not, some of the best air purifiers, are also so of the easiest plants to grow indoors. Dieffenbachia, African violets, dracaena, ficus, sansevieria, pothos and philodendron, spider plants, spathiphyllum, rubber plant and palms are all at the top of the list for good air purifiers as well as easy to grow indoor plants. Don’t forget cast iron plant, Christmas cactus, lucky bamboo, Chinese evergreen and jade plants are easy to care for plants as well. And of course, my favorite easiest to care for indoor plant, zamioculcus zamiilfolia, or commonly known as the “ZZ Plant.” At the beginning I mentioned a trip to the Caribbean. Well, if you want
to stay local, just hop in the car and head to the Krohn Conservatory! As soon as you walk indoors, you will start to smile, you’ll take a deep breath (and enjoy it), and then you’ll enjoy a truly “feel good winter experience” as you stroll thru the tropical jungles (and desert), located right here in our own backyard. OK, in Eden Park. Indoor plant care note: When watering your indoor plants, use luke-warm to warm water. Over time, using cold water can actually have detrimental effects on the root systems and growth rates of your potted plants. Ron Wilson is marketing manager for Natorp’s Inc.

Lent is a chosen trip to the desert vide time to deal with one’s own spiritual life in a searching and honest way. This “monastic desert” frequently turns out to be an oasis permitting reflective visitors to recognize the barren places in themselves. One of the greatest contemplative authors of last century was Thomas Merton. He was a Trappist monk at Gethsemani for 27 years. In his book “The Wisdom of the Desert,” Merton praises the early “desert fathers and mothers” (and those like them today) who willingly sought desert experiences. Merton writes, “They were people who did not believe in letting themselves be passively guided and ruled by a decadent state, and who believed that there was a way of getting along without slavish dependence on accepted, conventional values. … The Desert Fathers declined to be ruled by men, but had no desire to rule over others themselves.” What was their desire in undergoing such a difficult experience? Merton writes, “What the Fathers sought most of all was their own
true self, in Christ.” At some time or other we all enter into our own unchosen desert. We step out into the wide dry plains of our personal desert the day we find out we have cancer, or when our spouse leaves us or dies, when we struggle with addiction, unemployment, the death of a child, a divorce or a mental problem. Even aging can become a desert. During these times we may feel arid and very alone.
It cannot be stressed enough that desert experiences can be immensely positive experiences for our soul. They can become a springboard to a deeper closeness with God, others or even ourselves. They summon our courage and a struggle and lead to an eventual maturity of soul never imagined. The desert is a fundamental life force. Though we possess a self-centered tendency to protect and preserve ourselves, we are also born with a dynamic will to

person am I turning out to be?” In a d e s e r t atmosphere of disconnecFather Lou tion and Guntzelman emptiness we may Perspectives b e c o m e frightened that we’ll break down. Surprisingly, what actually happens if given enough time is that a breakthrough is what occurs, not a breakdown. Having a desert experience may actually mean living alone for a while in a desert. Today, however, the expression is usually used as a metaphor. For example, a growing number of people, Catholic or not, travel to the “Abbey of Gethsemani,” the Trappist Monastery in Bardstown, Ky. They live alone for a week or more in special guest quarters but join with the silence-observing monks in their chanted Mass and prayer services. The pervasive silence and expansive grounds pro-
Lent has just begun. For some Christians Lent is a symbolic trip to the desert. In spiritual literature the “desert” has long been considered as the locale of growth. Biblically, the Jewish people wandered in the desert before reaching the Promised Land. There were a few early Christians called the “desert fathers and mothers.” They purposely chose to live for a while in barren deserts as a means of gaining better awareness of the state of their soul and developing inner discipline. The desert was chosen because it offered a complete contrast to conventional living. In the meager landscape of the desert we’re no longer connected to things, people, self and God in the way we routinely are. There, in the empty arid silence our inner questions and “demons” become much louder. We can’t ignore them as we usually do with our busyness and chatter. We experience ourselves as vulnerable, powerless and compromised of a nebulous identity as we wonder, “Who am I? What kind of

Do your heart good with healthy recipes
We’re well into winter now with the huge amount of snow that continues to fall. As I’ve mentioned before, I really love d a y s Rita when I get Heikenfeld can’t down the Rita’s kitchen lane to the real world. It’s a good time to sequester myself in the kitchen experimenting with healthier recipes. With February being heart health month, and with the requests I’ve been getting from readers, this seems to be a good time to share some tasty recipes that are good for you.
Healthy pork tenderloin with port and fig sauce
For Fred Newbill and Virginia. Fred wants recipes for one or two and Virginia needs healthy recipes for
her husband, on a low cholesterol diet, with no trans or saturated fats. This recipe fills the bill with just 3 grams of saturated fat and no trans fat. If any of you have recipes for these folks, please share.
1 ⁄2 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 6 pieces 1 ⁄4 teaspoon dried thyme Pepper and salt to taste 2 tablespoons healthy buttery spread 2 Granny Smith apples, sliced thin 1 small red onion, sliced thin 2-3 tablespoons port wine or apple juice 1 ⁄2 cup apple juice 1 ⁄4 cup dried mission figs, chopped, or dried cranberries or cherries
Season pork with thyme and seasonings. Melt buttery spread in nonstick skillet over medium high heat and cook pork, turning once, about five minutes or until done. Remove and keep warm.
Add apples and onion and cook until almost tender. Stir in port and bring to boil. Add apple juice and figs. Return to boil. Reduce to low and simmer until apples and onion are tender. Serve over pork. Per serving: Trans fat 0 grams; saturated fat 3 grams; cholesterol 75 milligrams, calories 410; protein 35 grams
Healthy Exchanges elegant chicken salad

Here’s one that satisfies the urge for a decadent chicken salad. 1 cup diced cooked chicken breast 1 tablespoon fat-free French dressing 1 ⁄2 cup halved green grapes 1 ⁄4 cup chopped celery 1 tablespoon slivered almonds, toasted 1 ⁄4 cup fat-free mayo 1 ⁄2 teaspoon lemon juice

Nancy Zwick’s strawberry and yogurt wheat crepes
Nancy is with the Dairy Council and always has fabulous, family-oriented healthy recipes. She has been a guest on my Union Township cable TV show. Here’s one I saw her do on Fox19’s morning show. Whisk together 4 eggs, 1 cup low fat or fat free milk. Then add 1⁄4 teaspoon salt, 2
teaspoons sugar, 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour, 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour. Cover, set aside for 30 minutes or in the fridge overnight. Melt about 1⁄2 teaspoon butter in nonstick skillet. When it foams, pour 1 ⁄8 cup batter into pan. Lift and swirl so batter coats bottom. Replace pan on burner and cook just until set and underside is lightly browned. Flip and cook other side. Fill each with 1-2 tablespoons favorite yogurt and fruit. Roll up and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Makes about 12 to 14 crepes.
Guru in our backyard
Jo Ann Drilling: This talented chef is now with Murphin Ridge Inn in Amish country (Adams
County). Sherry and Darryl McKenney, proprietors, are thrilled to have Jo Ann on board, and Jo Ann is equally excited to indulge her passion for seasonal, local ingredients. What chef wouldn’t love Amish eggs delivered right to the kitchen door, and to walk outside in early spring plucking fresh greens and herbs from the gardens! Check out them out online at Murphin Ridge Inn to get all the scoop about their new menu. My fave is still their onion bisque. I have a feeling Jo Ann will be able to top that.

Club previews spring fashions
PROVIDED
From left: Nancy Brown, Terri Pinkston, Barbara Witte, Mary Boenning, Carolyn Campbell, Pat Brown, Mary Corley, Ginny Myer, Lynn Larsen and Jeannie Tobias taking a bow following the modeling of the Doncaster show of spring fashions at the February meeting of the WWC.
Ninety-three members of the Wyoming Woman’s Club recently met at the Civic Center for lunch and a preview of the Doncaster line of fashions for spring. The fashion show, as is tradition, was modeled by members. Jeannie Tobias, who provided commentary for the show, and Ginny Myer, model/fashion coordinator, are Doncaster inhome consultants. A gift bag from Doncaster was auctioned off to benefit the WWC Scholarship Fund. Prior to the program, Carolyn Campbell and Mary Corely collected donations of business-like attire and
accessories to be delivered to Dress for Success, an organization providing interview clothing for women seeking jobs. Adrienne Morris, club historian, provides a display each month on a topic from the club’s 94-year history or on a topic of national observance. February’s theme was National Black History Month with scrapbooks and books on display. Everyone left having had a delicious lunch catered by Wyoming Meat Market, the opportunity to celebrate friendship and to enjoy the colors and fashions of spring. The next WWC meeting
will be Monday, March 1, at the Wyoming Civic Center. Janessa Touchet, Principal Dancer, currently in her ninth season with Cincinnati Ballet and Johanna Bernstein Wilt, Principal Ballet Mistress with the Cincinnati Ballet, will provide the program. Social time will begin at 11:30 a.m., followed by a short business meeting and lunch at noon. The program on Cincinnati Ballet will follow at 1 p.m. Lunch reservations are due by Noon, Wednesday, Feb. 24. Guests are always welcomed. For information, call Andi Stewart at 931-9218.

An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations”. This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of
sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of
Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ‘’Navy’’ flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor.

The importance and benefits of preplanning
By Neva Martin
Community Recorder Contributor
Preplanning your own funeral, while not a favorite activity, has become more and more accepted and appreciated. People sometimes hesitate to embark on making such arrangements, especially when they’re healthy, or perhaps out of a superstitious fear that doing so may bring the Grim Reaper to their door faster. But if you can get over an initial resistance, you may find that preplanning can be a freeing experience. It can also free your
relatives from having to make future stressful decisions. Preplanning, or at least putting your wishes into writing, will provide your loved ones with a clearer picture of your wishes. Such wishes can include: • Type and location of serv-
ice: Traditional church or green burial and cremation are just a few options to consider. Veterans might like to include a military acknowledgment. • Who to invite: Do you prefer a small, intimate ceremony or a large gathering? • Speaker: Do you want your minister to deliver a memorial, a friend or relative to offer a eulogy, or both? • Clothing or jewelry: If you prefer burial, do you have a item you’d like to be buried with – a special memento or photo? • Favorite music or readings:
How about a certain song, a poem or reading you’ve always loved? Including them in the instruction packet would also be helpful. • Memorial fund: Would you prefer that mourners contribute to a favorite charity in lieu of flowers? • Your obituary: You can select a favorite photo to be included, along with your date and place of birth as well as any other details you want mentioned. Prepaying for a funeral can also take the burden off your family. You may have a funeral
home that your family has used for generations, one that you trust, to follow your wishes in selecting a casket or an urn. If you prefer not to prepay, you can set aside money in a separate account, such as a certificate of deposit or a shared bank account with someone close to you. Yes, preplanning your funeral lets you breathe a sigh of relief now and allows your loved ones to breathe easier later. Sources: mahalo.com/funeralarrangements; funeralplanning101.com; aarp.org

Getting everything in order, quickly, is important: calling the organizations to which the deceased belonged (a military organization or a bridge club, for instance, might want to be involved in the funeral service or arrange a get-together afterwards to honor the deceased), as well as friends and family scattered across the country. This is a good time to ask any nearby family and friends to call those people you might not know. You can also use this opportunity to ask if anyone wants to speak or do a reading at the funeral. Organizing a funeral and dealing with all the
details can be an emotional time for you, but it is also a chance to grow. Reaching out to others for help, for a shoulder to cry on, can be essential in coming to terms with your own grief in losing a beloved one. Planning someone else’s funeral can also be a reminder that death
comes to all of us, and it’s best to be prepared. In the aftermath of this experience, then, be sure to sit down with your own family and friends to tell them of your wishes, even putting them on paper. This provides peace of mind for all concerned. Sources: how-to.com; e-how.com/funerals

preferred speakers, even the choice of the funeral home itself. If not, then by all means you can involve family members and close friends about the choices they think would be appropriate. Make a checklist so as not to miss any details. The director of the funeral home selected can, of course, help with many of the necessary arrangements: obtaining a death certificate, choosing a casket and grave (or an urn if cremation is preferred), selecting flowers, writing an obituary for the local paper. If appropriate, call the deceased’s church or to arrange for a funeral date and time.

what they call “a celebration of life,” creating video presentations, displaying scrapbooks and pictures of the departed, even renting a center for a remembrance party. They find this type of event unites families and friends who have not seen each other for many years. Instead of traditional brown or steel caskets, some people, especially baby boomers, are starting to think “outside the box,” asking for caskets that reflect their personalities, even going for a “green burial,” without chemical embalming or even a coffin. In the book “Grave Matters,” environmental journalist Mark Harris fol-
lows a dozen families who have found “green” burial to be a natural, more economic and ultimately more meaningful alternate to the standard funeral process, whether scattering the beloved’s cremated ashes over the ocean, conducting a home funeral, or hiring a carpenter to build a pine coffin. The times they are achangin’ and if you do want to tailor your own funeral, or that of one near and dear to you, start by checking out some of the new preferences at any funeral home.

those special moments you shared. Speak truthfully, from the heart, but not in such a brutally honest manner that you offend. • A funny story or a poem is often appropriate. You might look for a book on bereavement that contains comforting words. Scripture can also be a good resource, keeping in mind to tread carefully if the bereaved family is not Christian or otherwise religious. • Know that this is an emotional time for you, especially if the deceased was close, and realize that each person who hears
you will appreciate your remembrances. You can even focus on a friend who will smile at you for comfort. This support can help keep you from breaking down. • Print out the speech in large typeset. That way, if tears well up or your hand starts to shake, you can still read the speech. • Speak slowly and don’t make the speech overly long. Remember you are celebrating a life as well as mourning a loss. Sources: public-speakingsolutions.com; blisstree.com

The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast
Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland
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.
