Dramatic win

ANDERSON TWP. – It’s been almost two years since construction stopped on a planned cinema and parking garage in Anderson Township and the development remains a concrete shell on the hillside. Resident Bill Teater asked the trustees at last week’s meeting if there were any plans in place to finish the project, known as Anderson Towne Place, located between the Anderson Center, 7850 Five Mile Road, and the Kmart store, 7528 Beechmont Ave. The JFP Group broke ground for the multimillion dollar Anderson Towne Place cinema and parking garage in 2007 and first aimed for an opening the following year. Design revisions – including scrapping planned condominiums, a restaurant and outdoor amphitheater – delayed the project. First Financial Bank then filed for foreclosure of the mortgages the JFP Group held for the property in November 2009. Anderson Township has already paid the JFP Group $5.8 million of taxpayers’ money for the parking garage construction and has a lease for parking spaces in the completed garage. Trustee Kevin O’Brien said he was under the impression that it would cost an additional $4.5 million to complete the garage and that money could be better spent on other township projects like trails, parks or greenspace. “As far as I know, there is no policy of this board to complete the parking garage,” he said.

Trustee Russ Jackson, who has championed the plan to bring a movie cinema to the site, has said he is optimistic about the project coming to fruition. Jackson said he’s heard estimates to complete the project are closer to $2.5 million. Anderson Towne Place is still owned by the JFP Group and the foreclosure proceeding remains in the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. First Financial Bank has not released the property and Jackson said if the project didn’t have potential the bank could have cut its losses instead of holding on to the development. “Just because you haven’t seen any plans doesn’t mean people aren’t working toward it,” Jackson told O’Brien. Anderson Township and Anderson Investors LLC, developers of Anderson Towne Center, were named as defendants in the foreclosure case for interests in the parking garage and easement, respectively. “The project was a victim of the economy (and) ... at some point it’s going to turn around and we fully believe that is going to be a site that’s going to benefit the township,” Township Administrator Vicky Earhart said. “We do have the lease hold interest in the property and we’re willing to work with any developer that’s interested in coming in to finish the project or build something else.” The township has a contract to lease spaces in the completed parking garage for $1 per year for an initial term of 99 years.

Hearing set on McNick’s bleacher plan Big decisions

NEWTOWN – Village Council has big decisions to make in the coming months as the village will soon take back its current fire station from the Little Miami Joint Fire and Rescue District. Council recently voted to conduct discussions leading up to that decision during regular council meetings, and not in council’s Long-term Long-range Building Committee meetings. FULL STORY, A4

MT. WASHINGTON – After a delay of several weeks, plans for bleachers and a press box at McNicholas High School’s athletic field will once again go before Cincinnati zoning officials. A hearing is planned for 9:45 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28, at the zoning administration office, 3300 Central Parkway. The school’s plan to add bleachers and a press box to the Project Paradise athletic field has been a recent subject of controversy. While the Mt. Washington Community Council voted in favor of the plan during its August meeting, residents have weighed in on both sides of the issue. School officials have met with neighbors abutting the field to try and reach some type of accord. Opponents to the project have

A zoning hearing on the field will be Wednesday, Sept. 28. expressed concerns about increased traffic, noise and potential lighting issues if further upgrades are pursued. The new bleachers would seat about 2,050 people. “It has been quite a roller coaster,” said Rob Heise, athletic director for McNicholas High School. “Our goal is to meet with neighbors (who) have concerns.

“Hopefully, we can come to some agreement and move forward.” Scott Fratianne, a Spindlewick Lane resident who has expressed opposition to the project, said negotiations are ongoing. “The neighbors recognize and do want to see McNicholas prosper, but given the current way the plan was presented it did present a

number of concerns,” he said. Fratianne said there has been a misperception that some of the neighbors simply want to block the project. “We hope working with the school we can come to a resolution that allows Project Paradise to move forward,” he said. During last month’s Mt. Washington Community Council meeting the majority of those who addressed council spoke in support of the school’s plans. Jake Williams, board president of the Mt. Washington Community Council, said he does not anticipate further involvement by the Community Council at least as far as the bleachers are concerned. “We have made sure all of the parties were heard, and that (was) our objective,” he said.

Flood waters in early March cover Clear Creek Park, off state Route 32. The Anderson Township Park District recently bought a neighboring property to mitigate flooding in the park.

Anderson Park District buys driving range By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com

ANDERSON TWP. – Clear Creek Park on state Route 32 in Anderson Township could get bigger in the next few years. The Anderson Township Park District recently spent close to $394,000 of taxpayers’ money to buy the roughly 27-acre Anderson Township Practice Range site, which is adjacent to the park property. Park District officials have been looking at the property since the early 1990s, said Executive Director Ken Kushner. There are no immediate plans to expand the park and Kushner said the first priority is to clean up the site and solve flooding issues. Clear Creek Park generally floods some each year, but as the clean, hard fill area increased on the adjacent property it created more flooding problems for the Park District. This spring’s flooding probably took out four acres of sod, Kushner said. “When we can’t use it ... it’s not a good thing for us or users or the community in general,” he said. Scott Menke, who owned the Anderson Township Practice Range, received a permit for a clean, hard fill area in 2003, Dan Taphorn, an urban conservationist with the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District, said earlier this year. Back then, the Soil and

Water Conservation District had jurisdiction of sites five acres or larger, but changes to the law gave the conservation district jurisdiction for sites around one acre, Taphorn said. Contractor Ford Development was allowed to continue using the site for clean, hard fill in 2008, he said.

Menke died in January. The driving range will still operate as the Park District cleans up the site, which will likely take a few years, Kushner said. Eventually, they will be able to expand Clear Creek Park and improve road access, said Park Commissioner Dale Bartholomew.

Council has big decisions to make in the coming months as the village will soon take back its current fire station from the Little Miami Joint Fire and Rescue District. Council recently voted to conduct discussions leading up to that decision during regular council meetings, and not in council’s Longterm Long-range Building Committee meetings. Councilman Mark Kobasuk said the entire council should meet with John Russell, an architect working with the village, to address possible uses for the current

fire station, which the Little Miami Joint Fire and Rescue District will vacate later this year. The Little Miami Joint Fire and Rescue District will soon move into the former E-check building at 7036 Main St. “I think we owe it to the village,” Kobasuk said. “Seven heads are better than three.” The committee, which consists of councilmen Joe Harten, Curt Tiettmeyer and Mayor Curt Cosby, is looking at possible uses for the fire station on Church

The current Newtown fire station will soon be empty, as the Little Miami Joint Fire and Rescue District moves to a new home at the former e-check building. Village officials must soon decide what to do with the old fire station. Street, potential new uses for the current administration building and possibly constructing a building or renovating an existing property in the village. The committee, which began meeting in February, has been working with Russell to explore the feasibility of the village’s options. Kobasuk said the village is essentially looking at three options: • Moving council chambers across the street to the fire station and allowing the Newtown Police Department to occupy the entire current administration building.

Over 160 private and public universities will be present to answer questions and provide materials. Students from all area high schools are encouraged to attend. For more information call (513) 979-0274. Sponsored by:

• Moving the police department across the street and allowing the village administration to occupy the entire administration building. • Build a new building or renovate a current structure. Cosby said constructing a new building would be too cost prohibitive, so the committee has focused most of its attention on the first two options. However, Kobasuk noted the village should look into all possibilities, such as using a recent $300,000 grant for a Native American artifacts museum as well as

the potential sale of village properties – particularly the administration building and fire station – to help fund a new building. Council voted 3-2 to take the issue out of committee and before council. Councilman Brian Burns was absent from the meeting. Cosby said the village will invite Russell to address council during an upcoming meeting. Newtown Village Council next meets Tuesday, Sept. 27.

Forest Hills homecomings’ cinematic flair By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com

ANDERSON TWP. – Movies will be a central theme at this year’s Forest Hills Local School District’s high school homecoming dances. The theme for the Anderson High School homecoming dance is classic movies. The dance will be 9 Bertsch p.m. to midnight Saturday, Sept. 24, in the Anderson High School cafeteria, 7560 Forest Road. Turpin High School’s homecoming dance will be the following weekend from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday, Oct. 1, at the high school gymnasium, 2650 Bartels Road. The theme will be Pixar movies. This year homecoming at Anderson High School will be somewhat different. The Anderson High School homecoming committee decided instead of floats this year the money would go toward helping a charity organization. Junior Angela Massoud said donations will be made to the Sarcoma Foundation of American in memory of Mitchell Sayre, a student who died from the cancer-related condition in May. Money raised at the traditional tailgate party from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, in the Anderson High School parking lot, will also go to the Sarcoma Foundation. English teacher and student council adviser Kate Hurley said council played a big role in preparations this year. “We wanted to provide students with more leadership responsibilities, and homecoming is the biggest event,” she

McNick’s Eveler scores perfect ACT As McNicholas student Luke Eveler begins his senior year he will be able to check one item off his to do list – taking the ACT. In June Eveler took the ACT for the first time and learned he received a perfect score of 36. “When I checked the score online, I was surprised. I knew that 36 was perfect, and I thought I did pretty well, but didn’t think it would be perfect. I was happy, though, because now I knew I wouldn’t have to take the test again,” Eveler said. According to the official website for the ACT, only 588 of nearly 1.6 million students who took the test in 2010 earned a composite score of 36. Eveler said he took several practice tests online, but he felt the real preparation came from the challenging academics at McNi-

cholas. “For me, I’ve always done well in math and science so it was in English that I needed the teachers’ help to get better. ObviEveler ously the teachers are doing a good job,” Eveler said. Luke’s mother, Jamie Eveler, agrees. “Luke has always worked very hard. The combination of his effort and the excellent instruction and curriculum provided by the honors and AP programs at McNicholas resulted in the perfect 36!” Jamie said. Jean Collins, who taught Luke in junior Honors English said that, “Luke was the quiet observer in class; he was always thinking. In

a class of extremely bright young men and women, Luke’s insights were insightful and challenging to the other students. His combination of sports and academics is a laudable accomplishment.” Jamie said that Luke has been receiving responses from colleges and universities that are “exciting and encouraging.” Although Luke said he has not narrowed down his dream school, he is planning to apply to Notre Dame and the University of Michigan. Academic services and enrollment director Lizanne Ingram said, “In my 17 years at McNicholas Luke stands out as a creative intellectual. A perfect score is an extraordinary accomplishment, and we are so proud of Luke.”

Anderson High School English teacher Kate Hurley, left, and junior Angela Massoud are among those helping coordinate this year’s homecoming dance. The Anderson High School homecoming dance will be Saturday, Sept. 24. Turpin High School will have its homecoming dance Saturday, Oct. 1. said. Turpin students have also been busy preparing for the big day. Student council came up with several ideas for a homecoming theme, said English teacher and student council adviser Steve Bertsch. A Pixar theme was chosen as part of a schoolwide vote, he said. Turpin will once again display floats before the homecoming game. “It’s a tradition and something student council wanted to do,” said Bertsch.

Anderson tops Turpin with last-second TD

Forest Hills Journal

ANDERSON TWP. - In sports, not many games live up to the hype. But this year’s Turpin and Anderson match up was one of the exceptions. Down three points with a little more than 10 seconds to play, Anderson senior quarterback Nick Mason found junior Jared Cook for a 10-yard touchdown pass in the southeastern corner of the endzone. The score gave the Redskins a 20-17 lead with just 7.8 seconds left to play at Turpin High School, Sept. 16. Cook never doubted he would come down with the pass. “I knew I had it,” he said. “Mason put a perfect pass on me. I did a release on the kid, and I was confident I was going to catch that pass.” The play, known as “Indy five,” according to Cook, gave the Redskins their first victory over their indistrict rival since the two last played in the regional finals four years ago. That contest propelled Anderson into the state final four. Two weeks later, the squad brought the championship back to Anderson Township. The current win was important for the Redskins because the squad dropped its first three games of the year. Another loss, most likely would have dampened Anderson’s playoff hopes for this season. “We needed to get a win, and yeah, it was over Turpin, which was a great thing, but I don’t get too caught up in who we are beating,” Anderson head coach Jeff Giesting said. “I just want to beat somebody, and we finally got that done and that’s why it was a big win for us.” Mason persevered to make the big play at the end of the game after throwing three interceptions in the contest. “Nick always believes he can get it done ... if you are going to go to war, you go to war with a kid that believes in himself and he does that and he makes plays,” Giesting said. Turpin quarterback Connor Jansen was kept relatively quiet throughout the first half and only passed for 60 yards. But when trailing in the fourth quarter with 10:41 to play, Jansen connected with Turpin senior receiver Mitch Stevens for a 40-

Without quarterback Austin Ernst, McNicholas couldn’t get their offense started against Fenwick. The Rockets did rush the ball for 168 total yards with five different backs getting carries in the game. A big bulk of those yards came when Max Harmon ran for a 75-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Fenwick accumulated 374 total yard of offense, while the Rockets only recorded 174 yards. Next up: The Rockets host Chaminade Julienne at Anderson High School, Sept. 24.

Lockland sophomore quarterback Tyrell Gilbert threw a 45-yard touchdown strike to senior tight end Avery Barnes for the go-ahead score with 2:02 remaining. Summit’s Ladon Laney rushed for 185 yards and one touchdown for the Silver Knights. With the loss, the Silver Knights dropped to 3-1 on the season.

About five minutes later, Shane tonight and it paid off,” Giesting Kelley booted an 18-yard field goal said. “Rogers did a great job, and to give the Spartans their final lead we just tried to use him a lot more. He had to step up and do someof the game. After exchanging punts, the thing, and I thought he did a nice Redskins got the ball back with job offensively.” With the loss, Turpin, ranked No. 1:58 to go just inside their own 405 in the coaches’ poll, drops to 2-2 yard line.

ANDERSON TWP. - For Anderson High School sophomore golfer Ben Correll, one year was enough. During his first King of the Hill tri-match with Turpin and McNicholas last season, McNicholas took the trophy. But now, the Redskins have it back, for the third time in four years. “About time,” Correll said. The Redskins recaptured the neighborhood championship behind the strong play of Correll and sophomore Grant Wethington, who each shot a match low 5-over-par 41 on the front nine at Cold Stream Country Club. As a team, the Redskins posted a 170 to hold off Turpin (181) and McNick (184). Other top Anderson scores included a 45 from senior Matt Birkenhauer, as well as a 43 from freshman Jack Nordloh. Anderson head coach Dave Lunn credited Nordlow’s performance as the key to the squad’s victory, especially since the freshman started the match off slowly. “He (shot a nine) on the first hole, and still shot 43,” Lunn said. “Five-over after the first hole and went 2over (par) the rest of the way? As a freshman, that’s solid.” Despite putting trouble, Correll was able to turn it the low score that the squad has come to expect. But despite his final

He’s usually in the 30s, but it’s always good to see him...fight back.” Wethington stayed in contention for low score by knocking down a 20-foot par putt on No. 7. Considering his past troubles on the hole, Wethington was willing to take the score. “It was hard (to play),” Wethington said. “I never

New lineup, same success for St. X cross country 2011 squad By Ben Walpole bwalpole@communitypress.com

St. Xavier High School cross country coach Mike Dehring had just finished breaking down his expectations for the weekend’s meet with his team when a runner approached him with a question. “He said, ‘Coach, maybe I missed something, but how do we get up there? Do our parents drive us?’” Dehring said, laughing about it a week later. “It just kind of dawned on me, like ‘Oh my gosh.’” Such is life for a team that graduated six of its top seven runners from last year’s group that finished sixth in the state meet. The Bombers are learning on the fly – be it upping the training mileage, dealing with big-meet jitters or, yes, the always-important “How do I get to the race?” questions. “It’s something that you wouldn’t normally think is important. But it can be important,” Dehring said. “I think it was a very good experience.” The Bombers responded at the meet in question with their best showing of the young season, finishing second in a 40-team field at the Tiffin Cross Country Carnival, Sept. 10. Cleveland St. Ignatius won the meet. St. X put five runners in the top 61, led by senior Jake

BEN WALPOLE/STAFF

Jake Grabowski, an Anderson Township resident, has assumed a leadership role on this year’s St. Xavier High School cross country team. Grabowski, who was 17th. “We had a really good weekend,” Dehring said. “I’m not sure where we were after the first couple weeks. We put together a team that was close to our full team at Tiffin and performed very well I think, especially considering we have a lot of guys who haven’t run at a big-meet level.” Grabowski, an Anderson Township resident, is the lone returning runner from

last year’s state-meet lineup. He often ran as the Bombers’ fourth or fifth man last season but has transitioned into the team leader seamlessly. “We count on Jake for a lot,” Dehring said. “I think it is difficult to be the No. 1 man because there is a certain responsibility that goes with that, but Jake has handled it phenomenally well.” Sophomore Evan Stifel finished 29th at Tiffin in 16:33. Seniors Sean Hogan (Hyde Park) and John Lewnard (White Oak) figure to be key runners. The junior class is talented, led by Alex Kevin (Loveland), Patrick Drumm (West Chester) and Andrew Gardner (Anderson Township). St. X boasts outstanding team depth. The Bomber varsity B team won the Tiffin B race. The overall program included more than 120 runners. Even with so many new runners, the Bombers hope to challenge for the Greater Catholic League South title and make a run at their 24th trip to state in the last 25 years. “Very optimistic,” Grabowski said. “We can be really good, but we still have a lot of work to do.”

Feds yield on deadlines for road signs I’ve been working since March to put the brakes on an unfunded federal mandate that would force communities to replace many signs along public roads by 2015. Other signs, including those for street names, would have to be replaced by 2018. The U.S. Department of Transportation Aug. 30 signaled it would heed warnings from me and others to slow down. The goal is to install signs with greater reflective surfaces and larger letters, which would make them more visible and easier to read. That could improve safety because drivers could read them faster. I like the idea, but replacing existing signs before they wear out could be extremely expensive. Replacing all street signs in unincorporated areas of Warren County could cost more than $1 million, according to a 2010 study by the county engineer. It could cost more than $1.7 million when factoring in labor. Before becoming a member of

I also shared my concerns with Secretary of Transportation Ray

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

What specific actions can government take to spur job creation? “I would recommend that the $450 billion slated for the stimulus package be given out directly to taxpayers in the form of vouchers with a value of, say, $1,500 or more. “Based on our 313 million population there should probably be about 200 million taxpayers. So this would work out to around $2,250 each! “The vouchers should expire in 90 days and require that it only be used for the purchase of merchandise. Gosh, I already have a use for it!” D.B. “Create some sense of stability. If the president thinks that he can beat the wealthy by taxing the source of jobs, he’s sadly mistaken. Who does the hiring? The wealthy. All they have to do is wait it out. “The other problem is the misuse of the benefits for those who are out of work. I personally know three such people who apply for jobs and never show up if they’re hired. It’s good to have a safety net, but the loopholes make it a money pit. “Quit rewarding those who send jobs overseas. We need jobs here. “Fraud needs to be stemmed. While there are always those who beat the system, the overcharges to the government are astronomical. And if you try to report it good luck in finding the correct person to report it to. Government is so big and unaccountable it’s almost impossible. “Quit making laws to cover every little thing that might happen in one’s life. Let things play out as the should without interference. Those people in Washington need a reason to be there, and we suffer. “Quit loaning money to those who can’t pay. How many bailouts do we need before someone gets the point? Buying a house is much more than a mortgage payment. Maintanance, repairs, taxes, etc. are all involved. There are those who shouldn’t own a house, but no one seems to get the message. “Quit mandating things for the local governments to do. Whe the money dries up, we’re all respon-

But achieving that takes political courage that is not evident in any of our leaders. “What must be done? Just look at Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland and other European economies that are on the brink of disaster because they refused to get government spending and borrowing under control.” R.V. “In a word, ‘infrastructure.’ Adding a few more words, I personally thought the bailout was necessary but the stimulus package should have dealt more with actual job creation. F.N. “I would like to see Congress take a very serious look at the plan the President presented last week, not from a political standpoint, but from really trying to create jobs for the American public that so desparatately needs jobs. “It seems to me that we cannot continue in the path we were going now ... there must be a change so people can get back to work supporting themselves and their families. Let's support the President's plan!” E.E.C.

LaHood in a June 2 letter. I was joined in signing the letter by two fellow members of Congress, Rep. Tim Holden of Pennsylvania and Rep. Steven C. LaTourette of Bainbridge Township in Geauga County, Ohio. We want our roads to be as safe, but the timelines for new signs could leave little money to maintain roads. And non-compliance by localities could result in a loss of federal funds and increased tort liability. On Aug. 30, the Federal Highway Administration issued a notice of proposed amendments to eliminate 46 of the deadlines regarding sign upgrades. (The Department of Transportation plans to retain 12 deadlines for sign upgrades deemed critical to public safety, including “Stop” or “Yield” signs at railroad crossings that lack automatic gates or flashing lights.) “A specific deadline for replacing street signs makes no sense and would have cost communities

across America millions of dollars in unnecessary expenses,” Secretary LaHood said. “After speaking with local and state officials across the country, we are proposing to eliminate these burdensome regulations. It’s just plain common sense.” I’m not surprised that Secretary LaHood reached this decision. Before he became head of the Department of Transportation, he served with me in Congress – and he was always fair and responsible in weighing considerations. Budgets of governments at all levels are already facing tremendous pressures. The Department of Transportation did the right thing in listening to all those squeaky wheels calling for elimination of most of the deadlines for this unfunded mandate. U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt represents Ohio’s 2nd Congressional District.

Ohio’s 2011 redistricting and reapportionment moves forward

Your Ohio legislature was back in session in Columbus the week of Sept. 12. At the top of the agenda for the legislature is the redistricting of the geographical areas served by our representatives to the U.S. Congress. The United States Constitution and federal law specifies how redistricting is to occur every 10 years, subsequent to the release of data from the decennial census. However, the responsibility to divide the state of Ohio into a specified number of congressional d0921_FHJstautbergcolsl stautistricts rests with the legislature. As has been reported, while Ohio’s population grew from 2000 to 2010, it significantly lagged the population growth of other states. As a result, Ohio has been designated to elect only 16 representatives to congress in 2012, down from 18 representatives the previous 10 years. The reduction in the number of representatives is only one of the challenges in redistricting. Also presenting a challenge is the shift in the geographic location of people. In our area, the city of Cincinnati has seen its population shrink the past 10 years, while the populations of suburban areas of Clermont, Warren, and Butler counties have all grown.

In the proposed redistricting map that recently passed the House of Representatives, considerations were given to how to address Peter J. the loss of two Stautberg seats, how to achieve a mix of Community voters so that Press Guest one political Columnist party would not be unduly disadvantaged, how to achieve a balance of population for each district, as well as other considerations mandated by state and federal law, including the federal Voting Rights Act. Upon enactment, these congressional districts will remain in place for the next 10 years. Although not everyone was happy with the resulting map of congressional districts, the plan passed the House of Representatives with some bipartisan support. Each district has a population (based on the 2010 census) of 721,031 or 721,032 people. By one measure, only five districts heavily favor a Republican or Democrat. Finally, with respect to reducing the number of districts, one

district contains the residences of two incumbent Republicans, and one district contains the residences of two incumbent Democrats. At the same time the congressional districts are undergoing change, the legislative districts for the Ohio House of Representatives and Ohio Senate are also in the process of changing for the next 10 years. In contrast to drawing congressional districts, the responsibility for drawing districts for state representatives and state senators rests with an apportionment board. There are 99 state representatives and 33 senators to be apportioned among the population of the state. The apportionment board consists of the governor, auditor of state, secretary of state, one Democrat state legislator, and one Republican state legislator. This board of five members has the sole authority to create the legislative districts, and the new districts are not legislative items that require approval of the Ohio House or Senate. The new districts for Congress and state legislators will be in place for the primary elections next spring. Peter J. Stautberg is the representative for the Ohio House 34th District.

School tradition

McNicholas High School recently conducted its All School Opening Mass. It is a tradition for the freshman students to be escorted into the first All School Mass by social studies teacher, Frank Lowden, who dresses in a kilt and plays the bagpipes, and then be given a standing ovation by the upperclassmen and their teachers.

A moment of silence to honor the Krispy apple Along with the pears, Mother Nature’s friends nabbed the apples on our trees, so I was looking forward to purchasing some apples f r o m Rouster’s A p p l e Rita House in Heikenfeld Milford. T h e Rita’s kitchen Krispy and Krispy Mac apples are unbelievably delicious and were developed by the Rouster family. But I just got word that the apples grown this year will be made into cider and there will be no fresh ones to pick. In fact, owner Dan Rouster said they are closing the apple part of the orchard. It’s the weather that made them decide to close. The good news is that the business’ U-pick blueberry and blackberry operations will continue. But no more apples. I hope Dan and Donna Rouster know how much everyone appreciates Rouster’s not only for their fine produce, but also for their ongoing community involvement. Going there is always a family adventure, with the little ones helping pick right along with the adults. As I have always told you, support your local independent farmers like the Rouster’s. They’re jewels that we need to keep shining.

Limited hours at Rouster’s

In honor of the Rouster’s, today’s column is all about apples!

Easy applesauce cake

From Caroline Quinter of Amelia United Methodist church. She’s the minister’s wife and shared this recipe with my editor, Lisa’s, mom, Nancy, and it wound up, through the Clermont County grapevine, to me. Caroline said this moist cake goes great with a cup of tea or coffee. “My husband and our four children really enjoy it and I hope your readers will give it a try. I wish I could claim it as an original but it came from a 1950s cookbook.” Caroline said the recipe calls for a mixture of 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon to “dust” the pan and then cut through the batter. She uses about 2⁄3 of that mixture. When I made the cake, I used it all and agree with Caroline – 1⁄2 to 2⁄3 would be plenty. I didn’t have yellow cake mix but used a butter recipe golden cake mix and added the 3.4 oz. box of instant pudding. This is a wonderful cake to tote to a potluck. 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons cinnamon 1 box yellow cake mix with pudding (or add 1 small pkg. of instant vanilla pudding) 1 ⁄4 cup oil 3 eggs 2 cups applesauce

(I also sprinkled it on the sides. Mix cake mix, oil, eggs and applesauce. Pour batter in, sprinkle remaining sugar mixture on top of batter and swirl through cake with a knife. Bake 50to 60 minutes.

Paper bag apple pie with streusel topping

This old favorite is now making the rounds once again. And yes, it does work. Use a bag without any printing on it. Use your favorite crust recipe. The trick of cooking the apples a bit beforehand is one I learned in cooking school. We would cook them on top of the stove. This recipe calls for the microwave. Either works well, but it’s not absolutely necessary. It just helps soften the apples. Granny Smith, Jonathan, or just about any apple other than Red Delicious will work.

Preheat oven to 350

Here’s the filling:

7-8 cups apples, peeled and sliced 1 cup light or dark brown sugar 2 teaspoons cinnamon Couple dashes salt 1 ⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 ⁄4 cup lemon juice 4 tablespoons flour Put the sliced apples in a big microwave-safe bowl, and stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and lemon juice. Microwave, uncovered, for five minutes. Sprinkle flour over and mix. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pour filling into crust.

Streusel topping:

RITA HEIKENFELD/CONTRIBUTOR

Close the bag. I stapled it but uncoated paper clips work OK, too. Bake 60 minutes. Remove carefully from bag. Makes eight servings.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen:

Instead of cinnamon and nutmeg, substitute 2 teaspoons apple pie spice. An apple a day really does keep the doctor away! Apples help lower the risk of heart disease, prevent constipation, help control diabetes and help prevent cancer.

Rouster’s Apple House will open for a limited number of days this fall. It will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, and Saturday, Sept. 24, with 5 percent to 30 percent reductions in price on items in the store, such as jams and jellies. Frozen cider, frozen cherries and frozen blueberries also will be available, but no apples. The store may be open for several weekends after that. “We will keep it open until we run out of product,” Dan Rouster said. He said customers should call 625-5504 for dates the store is open. The apple house is at 1986 Ohio 131. For information about blueberry and blackberry picking next summer, customers can visit the website at http://sites.google. com/site/roustersapplehouse.

Quick tips to keep your pets safe, sound and returned One afternoon last winter, I gratefully pulled into my driveway during a particularly bad snowstorm. The wind was blowing snow so thick that you could barely see a few feet in front of your face. That’s when I noticed a woman run up to the car. It was the grown daughter of the woman who lived next door. She was hysterical, sobbing. “My mother’s dog is missing and we can’t find her,” she cried, “Can we check in your backyard?” “Of course,” I said, pulling into the garage and jumping into my snow boots. Joining in the search, I found out that one of the family members had left their garage door open for a

few seconds and the 16year-old Malti-Poo had apparently slipped out into the yard. It was a heavily wooded lot attached to our own and we all feared the

worst. Within the hour, we had our answer. The woman’s son found the dog in the woods, under some brush. The elderly dog had lost its way and had succumbed to the elements. It was a very sad day in our neighborhood. Jim Berns of Pet Search

and Rescue nodded sympathetically when I told him our story. Berns is Cincinnati’s very own “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” who for the past 3 1⁄2 years, along with his trusty Search and Rescue dogs, has been helping people to find their lost pets. “The very best way to ensure your pet’s safety is to take preventative measures,” says the soft-spoken University of Cincinnati DAAP woodshop teacher, who searches for lost pets on weekends. “It is much easier to prevent your pet going missing in the first place than to find them later.” He suggests that all pets wear a well-fitted collar at all times with complete contact information. This is the very most important thing that an owner can do to ensure their pet’s safety. This information should include the name and phone number. “Don’t make the mistake of thinking that a rabies tag or pet license will be enough,” he counsels. “Make it easy for the person who finds your pet to contact you directly and immediately.” Micro chips are also very helpful. Friendly pets are the most likely to be reunited with their owners after they

Here is Jim Berns of Pet Search and Rescue and his team on the track of a lost pet! go missing. “A dog can be its own best ally,” Berns chuckles, “If you have a friendly pet, they will go up to the first people they see and want to be patted. “That happened to one of my dogs once, a bloodhound, and that was how we found her. She went up to people who saw the tag around her neck and called us.” He also suggests that pet owners be hyper-vigilant about keeping gates closed and continually inspect the perimeters of a fenced in yard. “There is almost always a gap in fencing,” Berns says, “I guarantee that I could go out into almost any yard and find a spot

where the pet could slip out. You might think that they can’t, but it can happen very quickly.” But the No. 1 thing that the Pet Detective wants people to know is if they are going to be going away, to leave their pets in the care of a professional pet sitter or in a kennel. “One of the common things we see,” he says, “Is things going wrong when people are watching pets for a friend or family member.” “It is much better to board your pets. Nobody can do as good of a job of watching your pet as you can yourself. That way you don’t have to worry about creating some extremely bad family strife.”

“I know that it seems so harmless,” the father of nine counsels, “But, if something bad happens and the pet goes missing, regardless of good intentions, it is hard not to blame the person who was left in charge. “It is just not worth the risk. Those relationships can never be replaced.” Berns, a College Hill resident, works with Samantha, a smart hound mix, Luchious, a bloodhound and Hercules, a mastiff/hound mix. Primarily covering areas in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, the team is willing to travel further to help find lost pets. They have had over 150 cases so far and he estimates that they find the pet while they are there, 20 to 30 percent of the time. Another 30 to 40 percent show up in the next two to three days. Pets they have been searching for have turned up safe up to five weeks later. For more information visit www.petsearchandrescue.com/about.html or call 513-708-0815.

that is part history, part mystery and all fun. Based on dramatic and real events, this historic fiction release recounts the accidental discovery of the famous Lascaux caves of prehistoric art in France in 1940 when the four boys and their dog, Robot, stumble onto a treasure of national and international importance. Hurtubise, a retired high school French teacher, has personally visited the recreated caves several times on trips to France with her students. “The original caves are now closed to the public,” Hurtubise says, “but the recreated Lascaux II is still remarkable to see in person. I wanted this book to describe the effect this discovery had on these four boys, their village, their entire country as well as the international community, but also the lessons the scientists learned that led to its unfortunate closing.” Illustrated by local artist, Benjamin Williams, The Boys Who Discovered Yesterday includes thought-

provoking questions for discussion making it an ideal book for children’s book clubs and classroom discussion. “Of course,” adds Hurtubise, “I included lots of French words that the boys would have used, but they are translated for the readers. And the teacher in me had to include a French/English matching quiz for any teachers who’d like to add a bit of foreign language education to their classrooms. “I know from my grandchildren who attend Sherwood Elementary School that the Lascaux caves are a part of the curriculum. The children also are required to read a certain amount of historic fiction during the school year. So I am hoping this book will prove to be an excellent addition to many school libraries and classrooms.” Hurtubise is also the author of a children’s picture book, “So Many Hugs,” released in 2009. Both books are available on amazon.com.

Communitywide reading project set for teens This fall, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is launching Teen On the Same Page to coincide with Teen Read Week (Oct. 16-22). As in the traditional communitywide reading project, Teen On the Same Page takes place over a series of weeks, while featuring programs related to a chosen book and topics explored through reading it. However, in this version, which has been designed especially for young readers, the book is selected for teens by teens. This year’s pick is “Thirteen Reasons Why,” the New York Times bestseller by Jay Asher. The story is told from the perspectives of Hannah Baker, a teen who committed suicide, and Clay Jensen,

her classmate. To offer compelling programs addressing the sensitive issues covered in the book, the library is also partnering with the Suicide Prevention Program at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, the Hamilton County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, and the Hamilton County Suicide Prevention Coalition. Teens, their parents, and their educators will be invited to come together for some thought-provoking discussions offered at various Library locations from late September into late October. Teens will also have the opportunity to meet Asher at the Main Library at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 18.
