IT’S COLLECTION TIME
COLUMBIA TWP. — It wasn’tJamey Evanchyk’s first ‘roa-deo.”
It wasn’t even the first timethe service worker for Colum-bia Township took top prize in asnowplow-driving contest.
But win Evanchyk did, whenhe finished in first place at a re-cent “Snow Plow Roadeo” dur-ing training in Sharonvillesponsored by the Public WorksOfficials of Southwest Ohio.
Evanchyk and some 60 otherdrivers from as far away asDayton had three minutes tocomplete an obstacle coursethat included driving betweenbarrels with just four inches tospare on either side, steeringthrough a serpentine series ofturns and getting close enoughto poles bymailboxes to clip thepoles but not the mailboxes.
Then they ran the course inreverse.
Evanchyk, a Milford resi-dent who has worked for Co-lumbia Township for nineyears, alsowon the competitionin 2006.
He and other township ser-vice workers have won a num-ber of awards in this and othersnowplow-driving contests.
A modest man, Evanchykwas hard-pressed to say whatmakes him awinner, other than
he gets a lot of practice on thejob and is a good driver.
“Some people just have it,”Evanchyk finally said.
Indeed they do, said Colum-bia Township AdministratorMike Lemon.
“Evanchyk took first placein southwest Ohio, so he’s obvi-ously one of the best drivers inthe state,” Lemon said.
“We had another mainte-nance employee take13th placeoutofall thatwere involvedandwe’ve scored in fifth and sev-enth places in other competi-tions.
“So we have a very skilledcrew in terms of snowplowingand their capabilities,” Lemonsaid.
Lemon said Evanchyk andother Columbia Township ser-vice workers deserve to becommended for more thantheir driving skills.

Canceling the street-car won’t cost much lessthan finishing it, city offi-cialssaid ina last-ditchef-fort to save the project –an effort that didn’t ap-pear tosway the incomingmayor or council mem-bers.
The city will have tal-lied $32.8millionworth ofwork by month’s end,streetcar executive JohnDeatrick said in a recent
council committee spe-cial meeting – well aboveprevious estimates ofabout $26 million. Finish-ing the 3.6-mile route willrequire $71 million morein citymoneyplus federalmoney, he said.
Shutting it down, onthe other hand, wouldtakemore than a year andcost between $30.6 mil-lion and $47.6 million,Deatrick said.
Canceling mid-con-struction has many com-
plications,hesaid, suchasfinding a stopping pointon new water lines beinglaid and deciding how torebuild torn-up sidewalksand streets. Recoupingmoney by selling the carsto another project wouldrequire spending more tofinish building them.
Deatrick oversaw thepublic portion of TheBanks riverfront devel-opment before the cityhired him to right thestreetcar project in April.Since then, he said Thurs-day, it has been on timeand on budget.
Bottom line: It wouldcost $7.5 million to $24.5million more to finish the$133 million project thancancel it, depending on fi-nal “closeout” costs, ac-cording to theadministra-tion.
“For an $8 million dif-ference, you get a project– you get a streetcar,”Budget Director LeaEriksen said.
Theestimatedcloseoutcosts don’t include poten-tial litigation from prop-erty owners and contrac-tors. Deatrick also notedthat canceling the street-car might increase thelikelihood that the courtsforce the city to pick upDuke Energy’s estimated
$15 million cost to movegas and electric lines.
Streetcar supporterson council pronouncedthe decision a no-brainer,but Mayor-elect JohnCranley and the three in-coming council memberswere largely unim-pressed.KevinFlynn,Da-vid Mann and Amy Mur-ray, all streetcar oppo-nents who attended themeeting, questioned thenumbers and again calledfor a temporary halt toconstruction.
“We have to scrutinizethese numbers,” Flynnsaid. “Therewas a lot said– and a lot that wasn’t ac-curate.”
Deatrick announcedmidway through the pres-entation that some slideshad incorrect numbersand changed themby sev-eral million dollars. Evenwith the change, the ad-ministration’s math wasunclear and it was uncer-tain how they got the finalfigures.
Flynn andMurray alsosaid operating costs werelargely unaddressedThursday. They are ex-pected to run $3.4 millionto $4.5 million a year,Eriksen said, with about20 percent covered byfares. The rest is slated tocome from casino pro-ceeds.
Cranley, who didn’t at-tend thepresentation, rid-iculed the idea that itwould take a year ormoreto shut down the street-car.
“Of course the peoplewho have incompetentlyrun this project would beincompetent at shutting itdown,” he said. “That’swhy we’re going to havenew leadership.
“It does not cost $40million to say ‘stop,’”Cranley said.
He expressed confi-
dence that contractorsMesser Construction andPrus Construction – bothlocal companies – wouldcooperate in ending theproject: “I believe theywill be great partners tounwind this mess.”
Cranley and all threeincoming council mem-bers repeated their callsfor the current council tostop construction untilthey’re seated Dec. 1.
“They should stopspending money immedi-ately,” Cranley said.“Theyaredefyingthevot-ers.”
Mann noted that thecity seems to have actual-ly increased the pace ofstreetcar spending: “Somuchhasbeendone in thepast few months to dig asdeep ahole as possible forthe new council.”
A majority of the cur-rent council supports thestreetcar, but opponentsChristopher Smitherman,Charlie Winburn and P.G.Sittenfeld were all re-elected, so the three new-
comers’ “no” votes shouldbe enough to stop it. Sit-tenfeld has asked ques-tions about the numbersin recent days butwas outof town Thursday andcouldn’t be reached.Smitherman also didn’tattend the meeting.
Current members whosupport the streetcarpointed to Deatrick’spresentation as furtherevidence that it would bewasteful to stop now.
Councilman WendellYoung compared thestreetcar project withCincinnati’s unfinishedsubway: “We should beable to learn from ourpast and not repeat it.”
Vice Mayor RoxanneQualls, who lost to Cran-ley in her bid for mayor,asked the new council toreally lookat thenumbersand ask questions beforemaking a final decision.“Ifwhathasbeenpresent-ed today stands up toscrutiny, it makes nosense to cancel this pro-ject,” she said.

He said they alsoshould be recognized forgettingup in themiddleofthe night to clear danger-ous snowy streets for oth-er people.
“Just getting here totake the plows out you’vegot to climb hills that are
often icy,” Lemon said.“So they risk their life
and limb to get here andthen the first thing theydo is take their plow truckfull of salt and get on anicy street going downhill.
“I can tell you, manytimes they slide down thehill, applying salt as theygo,” Lemon said.
“They slide down thehill taking their lives intheir own hands.
“I think we don’t ap-preciate enough the dan-ger these people putthemselves in and thehours that they’re outthere plowing in the mid-dle of the night when therest of us are sleeping,”Lemon said.

The basketballs were offi-cially rolled outNov.1, but prep-aration began way before thatfor boys high school basketballteams in the Eastern Hills Jour-nal coverage area.
Cincinnati Country DayThe Indians won the Miami
Valley Conference last yearwhile putting together an 18-6season (9-4 MVC).
Only one player graduatedfrom the team, but head coachHoward Brownstein lost oneplayer to transfer and another –star guard J.R. Menifee – suf-fered a kidney injury in the lastfootball game of the season thatkept him in the hospital for 10days and put his basketball sea-son in jeopardy; Brownsteindoesn’t know when or if he willbe cleared to play.
“We’re kind of back to thedrawing board,” Brownsteinsaid. “We were an up-and-down(the floor) team, but now we’regoing to have to reevaluate a lit-tle. It’s going to be a slow startwhile we get this figured out.”
CCD has only one senior, 6-foot-5 forward Matt Walton.Also back is 6-foot wing/shoot-ing guardWyatt Fletcher.
“After that, it’s anybody’sguess who is going to start,”Brownstein said. “We’ll take itday by day. We’re still experi-menting and we’re going to seewhat works. Most likely we’regoing to have tomix it up and doa lot of different things.”
Clark Montessori» The Cougars were second
in theMiamiValleyConference-Scarlet Division at 9-4 behindpowerhouse Summit CountryDay last season. Overall, theyfinished 17-8 and return nineplayers, including three-yearstarterand leadingscorerMalikRhodes.
The senior guard averaged11.2 points per game last seasonand made MVC first team. Sen-iors Joseph Davis and JordanWhaley-Watson should also helpout. Watson adds some bulk inthe center position at 6-foot-4and 300 pounds and was secondin theMVC in shooting percent-age last winter at 60 percent.
CoachScottKerrplaysanag-gressive brand of defense andwill use a 12-man rotation.
“The three seniors have beentogether at Clark since seventhgrade and have a chance toleave with the most all-timewins for one class,” he said.
Kevin Lewis, Landis Owens-by and Torraye Shattuck leadthe junior class, with Shattuckbeing the top returning re-bounder at 6.0 per game. MicahBlythe and Jordan Gaines topthe sophomore class for the up-tempo Cougars.
Clark Montessori opens theseason at homewithMadeira onNov. 29.
Mariemont» TheWarriorswere18-6 last
season, second in the CincinnatiHills League behindWyoming.
Unfortunately for headcoach Steve Ellis, six seniorsgraduated from that team, in-cluding four starters. Throw insuccessful soccer and footballteams playing deep into the falland Ellis hadn’t had many prac-tices with his entire team untillast week.
Junior forward Terry Sparksis the lonereturningstarter.Thegoodnewsishe’sa leagueplayerof the year candidate.
“We’re young and inexperi-enced,”Ellis said. “Terryplayedas a freshmanand started for usas a sophomore. He’s got about45 varsity games under his belt.The rest of the team has zero.We’re looking for him to help usbridge the gap to our younger
players.”Senior BrendanWoodruff – a
wing/post - returns to the pro-gram after playing as a fresh-man and sophomore. Sopho-more JoeyKromerwill man thepointguardslotwhile classmateBrennan Crowley should be astrong presence at forward.
“For us it’s going to be allabout defensive effort,” Ellissaid. “This is a pretty athleticgroup that can get up and downthe floor. We just need to getthem tomake some stops.We’rehappy these guys will have tolearn by fire. We may have totake some lumps early, butthey’ll grow from it and get bet-ter as we go along.”
Mariemont opens at Nov. 30against Gen Este.
Moeller» The Crusaders lived up to
their typical standards last sea-son by winning the GreaterCatholic League-South at 10-0and finishing 23-3 after a toughloss at the University of DaytonArena lastMarch to Springboroin the tournament.
Carl Kremer took anotherGCL-South Coach of the Yearaward and could be in line foranother as first-teamer GrantBenzinger returns forhis seniorseason.
TheWrightStatecommitwillbe joined by senior Trey Haw-kins and junior Nate Fowler,who made GCL-South secondteam last winter.
Benzinger was third in theleague in scoring last season at12.9 points per game; Hawkins
was the league assist leader at4.8 per game; and the 6-foot-9Fowlerwas second in the leaguein shooting percentage and re-bounding.
Seniors Jack Anton andAdam Gigax at 6-foot-8 and 6-foot-6 will provide added lengthon the Crusader frontcourt. An-ton has committed to Elon Col-lege. Junior Fowler has a varie-tyofoffers includingsomefromthe SEC and Big 10.
“He’s really playing well,”Kremer said of Fowler. “He’s ahigh-character kid. I thinkschools are waiting to see howhis athleticism develops. Bigguys really develop late.”
Kremer also has some “newnames” to varsity that shouldcontribute in former junior var-sity point guard Kevin Kerley.From the football team, GusRagland and Noah Able will seeminutes once they hang up thepads for the year.
Moeller recently tested theirskills against a number of goodteams in Canton. They also willparticipate in a holiday tourna-ment once again by attendingtheBeachBall Classic inMyrtleBeach, S.C., Dec. 27-31.
“If we can get by the bestteam out of Toronto, then welikelyplay this teamoutofFlori-da that has a Duke commit,”Kremer said. “They have anoth-er kid who won the ‘dunk of theyear’ this summer and it wentviral onESPN. I thinkwe’ll com-pete. We have the kind of sizethat we can play with anybody.”
Even outside of the presea-son and holiday trips, Moeller’sschedule is frightening.
“It’s the best schedule we’veever had,” Kremer said. “We’vegot schools like Centerville andTaft and Aiken. We think it’s go-ing to help us through the tour-nament.”
The Crusaders open at Cha-minade-Julienne Nov. 30. Thehome opener features Coving-ton Catholic Dec. 6.
Purcell Marian» Coach Bryan Laake will
look for three young starters toguide his Cavaliers this seasonas Jamel Howard, Rashaad Ali-ShakirandPaytonSmithall tookthe floor as freshman last win-ter.
The 6-foot-3 Howard led theold Greater Catholic League-Central (now GCL Coed) in re-bounding last year with 10 pergame and was first-team all-league. Ali-Shakir is a 6-1 guardwho made second team all-league and Smith is a 5-foot-10

MASON—MoellerHighSchool’s football teamnever trailed in its 35-26victory over ColerainNov. 23 in the Division I,Region 2 semifinals atMasonHighSchool’sAtri-um Stadium.
Crusader quarterbackGus Ragland had anotherphenomenal day, rushingfor 205 yards and fourtouchdowns on 29 carries.
“To beat a team likeColerain takes a lot ofwork during the week be-cause the option (offense)gives you a lot of prob-lems,” Moeller coachJohn Rodenberg said.“They’re fast; they’rephysical; they’re well-coached; and it’s agrind toplaya teamlikeColerain.”
The option did giveRo-denberg’s squad fitsthroughout the game, asthe Moeller defense al-lowed 440 total yards (306rushing), but the Crusad-ers held the Cardinals tojust135yardsononly fourpossessions in the secondhalf.
“Minor tweaks on (de-fense),” Rodenberg saidof the halftime adjust-ments. “Just enough tostop them in the (shotgun)that was giving us someproblems. We did a goodjob of that.”
Moeller moves on toface Hilliard DavidsonHigh School with a trip to
the state finals on the linewhere theCrusadershopeto defend their title.
Thismarks the second-consecutive season theCrusaders knocked Cole-rain out of the playoffs.Last season they defeatedthe Cards 24-21 in the re-gional final. It’s a rivalrythat is slowly starting toblossomwhenboth team’sreach November.
“We have so much re-spect for their program,”Rodenberg said. “Theyplay such great footballand they’re so physical. Ithink Tom Bolden is agreat coach and you likeplaying a team like Cole-rain because it’s going tobeaheckofagamefor thefans and you know you’rein for a dogfight.”
Moellergot the scoringunderway at the 4:20mark of the first quarteron a 29-yard touchdownrun by Ragland.
After theCards tied it aseven just 19 seconds lat-er, Ragland answeredwith a two-yard scoringrun to make it 14-7 at theend of the first quarter.
After a Colerain turn-over, JackGrubermade it21-7 with 7:46 left in thefirst half.
Before the Crusaderscould blink, Colerain run-ning back DeTuan Smith-Moore added his secondand third rushing touch-downs of the first halfmaking it 21-20 at half-time. Two more Ragland
touchdowns, one in thethird quarter and a one-yard rushing score late inthefourthquarter to ice it,rounded out the Moellerscoring.
“… I feel really goodfor our kids,” the coachsaid of making a returntrip to state. “… It’s aboutthe Class of ’14 and I feelgood for these guys.”

Standing on the side-lines for the last 11 sea-sons, Cincinnati Statemen’s head soccer coachMike Combs has helpedcreate oneof themost suc-cessful collegesoccerpro-grams in the country.
Making its second con-secutiveappearanceintheNational Junior CollegeAthletic Association na-tional tournament – andthird in the last four sea-sons – Cincinnati Statewon its first-round game
before fall-ingWednesdayto the No. 3seed, SanJacinto –South, 3-0.
“Earn-ing back toback ap-
pearances in the nationaltournament is somethingthat no previous team atCincinnati State has everdone,” said CincinnatiState head coach Mike
Combs.“I am so proud of this
group of players. For oursophomore class, eachplayer can say that theyleft with the legacy of twoconference titles, two re-gional titles and two tripsto the national tourna-ment.”
A big reason for theprogram’s success overthe past decade can be at-tributedtoCombs’off-sea-son efforts to attract localhigh school talent to Cin-
cinnati State. Graduatingfrom Mariemont HighSchool in1991,Combskeptclose ties with his homeAlma Mater runningyouth development campsat the school.
Currently residing inMadeira, Combs serves aspresident of the MadeiraYouth Soccer Organiza-tion which fosters in thedevelopment ofmore than450youthplayersfromthearea.

My vote? Polling places should be sacredI enjoy voting, and I try to
be educated on the issues.However, as soon as I got tothe polling place I was con-fronted by a woman who wason the pathway to the votingplace, who asked me to sign apetition for a “right to work”law in Ohio.
She stated categorically,“In Ohio, workers are forcedto join a union or not work insome places.” Well, that iskind of true. The subtlety liesin what she did not tell people.
If a company becomesunionized, it is because therewas a democratic vote to seeif the workers wanted theunion. If they vote “yes,” thenindeed, you must join the
union to workthere. This isonly logical. Ifnot, only theworkers in theunion bear thecost of theunion, but allworkers bene-fit from payand benefitimprovementsmade by the
union on their behalf.It would not be fair, no
matter what your beliefs areabout unions, to have someworkers pay to be members ofthe union, but all workersbenefit, whether they aremembers or not. In addition,
the fact that not all workersare members does one thingonly: weakens the ability tocollectively bargain. And that,I surmise is the real reasonbehind that so-called “right towork” petition.
Let me give a parallel ex-ample: If you have joinedCostco or Sam’s Club, you paya fee. For that fee, prices arenegotiated for bulk purchases,and you reap the benefits. Ifor one would be upset ifSam’s Club turned around andsaid that they were going tolet people in the door who arenot members, but expectedcurrent members to continueto bear the cost so “everyonecan shop here.”
I daresay the lady with thepetition at my voting spotwould have a harder timeconvincing the well-heeledIndian Hill folks that she hada petition we should sign “be-cause in Ohio shoppers areforced to join a club or notshop in some places.”
I for one am tired of thispolitical badgering in votingplaces. Once inside, I had tolisten to some dreadful borespout off his beliefs aboutvoter registration and ID lawsto some of the workers, whichI suspect is not allowed within100 feet.
I have nothing against freespeech. However, the votingplace is sacred, and it is where
we are all equal, and all ex-press our ultimate opinions,silently. I don’t want to sign apetition, be told who is thebest candidate or listen toyour views on anything – Iwant to vote, based on what Ihave learned and read. I de-cided my vote before I gotthere. So shut up and vote.
By the way, when I said tothe lady I would not sign herpetition she looked at me as ifI had vomited on her shoes. Iwish I had argued with her,but, you see, it was a votingplace and I think these dis-cussions are not appropriate.

BruceHealeyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST
Last week’s questionDo you think President Obama
will be able to keep his promisethat Americans will be able tokeep canceled health insurancepolicies for a year as companiesand consumers adjust to the newdemands of the health care law?Why or why not?
“Can we all stop and take abreath right now? There hasbeen so much bashing of thepresident that I don’t want tohear it anymore.
“I recognize that thenewsys-tem is not working. Many timesin my life I have experienced acomputer program needingtime to actually work.
I also recognize that manypeople are waiting to enroll inhealth care and that many peo-ple cannot afford to lose thehealth care they currently en-joy. I do believe this situationwill improve, the president’spromisewill be kept andwewillall get what we need. Coolerheads must prevail.”
E.E.C.
“No he won’t be able to keepthatpromise!Henever intendedtokeep it! Itwasatotal lieandheknew it.
“The purpose of Obamacareis a mass redistribution ofwealth. It has nothing to do withhealthcarereform. Ithasevery-thing to do with governmentcontrol and socialist policy.
“Sadly, it must be concededthat the president of the UnitedStatesofAmericaisanarrogant,narcissistic, bold-faced liar.”
R.W.J.
“‘Keep his promise???’ Thislying cypher is incapable oftruth!!!”
J.G.
“I heard Speaker Boehnersay the other day that “Americahasthebesthealth-caredeliverysystemintheworld.”Ifhe is thatbadlyoutof touchwithrealityheshouldn’t be allowed to win an-other election.
My personal wealth waswiped out by this system. I wasforced to pay endlessly risingpremiums (which ended at$20,000peryear,whenIcouldnolonger afford them) and mas-sive deductibles on top of that.
“I have liens on my housefrom debt collectors who weretoo lazy to try to contact my in-surance company to find outwhy they weren’t getting paidand who wouldn’t tell me whatthe charges were for so I couldtackle the insurance companyonmy own.
“I have never been sickenough to be hospitalized and I
have paid full rates for the mi-nor problems I have due to thedeductibles. And because Iwasn’table toqualifyforagroupplan the hospitals and doctorscharged me much more thanother people pay for the sametreatment.
The reason is that I have onechild with a spontaneous muta-tion genetic disease and twooth-er family members who had'pre-existing conditions' duringthe time I was insured. My ownfamily thinks I could have“shopped around” for insur-ance, but they never actuallytried to do it.
“The best I could do was togetapolicy like theoneIalreadyhad, which wouldn’t cover myfamily for a year duringwhich Iwould have had to pay doublepremiums to make sure wedidn’t have a crisis that wasn’tcovered by the old policy.
“How many people who votefor Republicans can afford$40,000 per year for medical in-surance?
“The Affordable Care Acttakes care ofmost of the issues Iface, but it’s too late. I still haveto go to court to get the liens lift-ed because judges imposedthem on the word of the insur-ance companies without givingmeachance topresent the facts.And I can’t be sure I will get ridof them all.
“Noonedeservesoursupportif they have criticism, but aren’twilling toproposesolutions.Andthese problems don’t just affecta handful of unfortunate citi-zens.
“The insurance companiesare out of control and the hospi-tal corporations are out of con-trol. Doctors are part of theproblem, because they don’t seeearning 10 times as much astheir patients to be a problem.
“And all of the Republicansdeserve to be shaken out of thestupor theyhave fallen intowith
their false numbers on welfareand uninsured.”
N.F.
“Yes, despite all the anti-fed-eral government propagandaand (conscious and uncon-scious) racism to the contrary, Ido believePresidentObamawillbe able to keep this promise forthe year-long coverage exten-sion. He wants to help the poorand uninsured get affordablehealthcare. After all this time,that should not be so difficult tounderstand."
TRog
“The insurance industry willfigure it out. They have a win-win situation no matter whatwith all that cash available andthey'll get plenty of ours.
“I feel sorry for progres-sives, having carried their ex-periment arrogantly, makingpromises. Balance is the key,voters.”
K.P.
“President Obama's firstpromise was 'Any Americanswho want to keep their currentplanswill keep them - period!' Itis implied by the Journal's ques-tion that Obama has failed tokeep that promise. Now you areasking, basically, will Obama beable to keep his new promisethat anyAmericanswhowant tokeep their current plans willkeep themuntilnextyear– if theinsurance company allows it.Don't makeme laugh.”
R.V.
“First, let's be clear, that wasNOT a promise. It was just an-other one of his campaign lies.He knew from the start thatmost Americans could not keeptheir current plans since theycould not possibly conform toObamacare (eg. seniors withmaternity coverage?).
“Secondly, this scheme de-pends on overcharging the cur-rently insured and young whowill not participate. Thirdly,when the employer mandatekicks-in 70 percent of thosewhoget insurance throughworkwillbecanceled.Medicaidesign-upsare growing rapidly through theexchanges. This is all by designon the way to Obama's goal of asingle payer socialized medi-cine!!”
D.J.H.
“Idon't thinkObamawilleverkeep his promises on anything,but then I thinkof anotherpresi-dent who told us to read his lips.
“Another thing,who is sayingthat the insurance companieswill automatically take thesecanceled people back. My ad-
vice is to scrap the whole plan,get these people their coverageback and go from there. Thisplan is horrible."
Dave D.
“I truly believe that Presi-dent Obama cares deeply for allAmericans, is doingwhat he canto alleviate the canceled healthcare policies and to help theAmerican people get throughthis. No matter what your opi-nion is of the Affordable CareAct it is doing good, insuringthose who could not get cover-age due to pre-existing condi-tions.
“Have cancer (very scaryword) or any other life alteringdisease? It's covered now. It is ablessing to be able to have adultchildrenage26orunder tobe in-cluded in theirparents' plan.Toomany spout criticism withoutfully knowing all of the facts,just their opinions and others'rumors.
“Let timecorrect thediscrep-ancies, let the health care takeeffect, let it work into the nextyear, and thenseewhere thema-jority of Americans stand.”
J.B.
“No, because Obama is apathological liar.”
John Joseph
“This now depends on the in-surance companies themselves.Under the ACA all plans mustprovide a certain level of cover-age. This was intended to elim-inate the threat of financial ruinthrough healthcare costs in theevent of catastrophic illness.Isn’t that what we expect frominsurance?
“Why didn’t the insurancecompanies simply upgrade pol-icies to comply? In some casesthese companies are using thelaw as an excuse to eliminateless profitable plans and mis-lead panicked customers intobuying theirmore expensive re-placement plans.
“Inmost cases cancellation isdue to the fact that these 'junkplans' are recipes for disaster ifthe holder has the audacity to
getsick.Theymaynotofferhos-pitalization or prescription cov-erage. Insurance companies arenow required to disclose this.Many may not want to admithow inadequate their productsreally were.
“If you hold one of these non-compliant plans do you reallywant to keep it? This could be alifesaving change. But a prom-ise is a promise, right?”
K.M.
“I do not think that this newpromise is any more genuinethan the previous ones. It tookthe insurance companies threeand a half years to prepare formeeting the guidelines thatKathleenSebeliusaddedinafterthe ACA had been passed by theDemocratic-controlled Houseand Senate and had been signedinto law, just one of many regu-lations added in later.
“First, it isn't even clearwhether it is legal for the presi-dent to stipulate this new prom-ise, but I will readily acknowl-edge that this has not stoppedhim previously. In any case, thepresident does not really wantthe insurance companies to pullback on the cancellation letters,nor does he expect them to beable to do so. He obviously rec-ognizes that the very most theycould possibly do is to createnew plans to offer up to the endof 2014, but these could not beexactly theplansoriginallyheld;and they would cost more, justas the exchange plans will.
“This latest 'promise' wasjust an attempt to quiet the dis-content over the cancellationletters, those cancellations be-ing the original intended result,and anecessity, in order to forcepeople into signing on with anACA exchange plan.
“The president knew that hispromises of 'You can keep yourhealth insurance plan if you likeit, you can keep your doctor'were rubbish, a fact of which heacknowledged during a video-taped committee meeting in2010.”

Under current law,residents need not retreat be-fore using force if they arelawfully in their homes, vehiclesor the vehicle of an immediatefamily member. Is this goodlegislation? Why or why not?

NOVEMBER 27, 2013 • EASTERN HILLS JOURNAL • B3LIFE
I got some unexpectedexercise today. The windwas blowing so hardwhen I hung up theclothes that it literallyblewmost of them off the
line rightafter I puttheclothes-pins on thelast of thesocks.Now Ididn’tmind chas-ing thedish tow-els across
the field, but it was alittle embarrassing to seemy “unmentionables”flying freely toward theroad. My girlfriendcalled me later and saidshe was driving by whenall this happened. “Mademe chuckle,” she said. Iguess it’s what we call acloud with a silver lining.
Giovanna’sgluten-freemeatballs andspaghetti
You know her as Jo-anne Trimpe, author oftwo Holy Chow cook-books, the first of whichis “Holy Chow” and thesecond, new one is “HolyChow Gluten Free.” Youmay recognize her as atelevision personalityand personal chef toArchbishop DennisSchnurr. I know her asGiovanna, and we havebecome friends and col-leagues. Giovanna decid-ed to write another cook-book with gluten-freerecipes because Arch-bishop Schnurr is glutenintolerant, yet enjoysgood food.
“I was nervous at first.I didn’t knowmuch aboutgluten intolerance so Iknew I needed to learnhow to cook gluten free,but with all the flavor ofmy original recipes,” she
said. Well, Giovanna hasnailed it. Her book hasreally good, doable glu-ten-free recipes, fromappetizers like crabcakes that start yourmeal with flair to dinnersthat are entertainmentworthy. Her eggplantParmesan is unbelievablygood. There’s a specialsection from friends andfamily. I contributedrecipes for the dessertsection. Every recipe hasa photo along with a Biblequote relating to it, soyou are feeding bothbody and soul.
I chose Giovanna’smeatball and spaghettirecipe since that’s a uni-versal favorite and a nicechange from all the tur-key we eat this time ofyear. Check out her web-site http://holychow-book.com/ for informa-tion to purchase the book.Also available at Joseph-Beth Booksellers inRookwood and sells for$16.95.
Preparemeatballs
11⁄2 pounds of ground chuck1 teaspoon kosher salt1⁄2 teaspoon ground pepper1 egg white11⁄2 tablespoons choppedfresh parsley or 1teaspoon dry
1⁄2 cup soymilk or any typelactose-free milk
11⁄2 cups bread crumbs
Now, this is where it isimportant to use gluten-free bread crumbs. Youcan buy frozen gluten-free bread and, usingyour food processor,make 11⁄2 cups.
Work the meatballmixture with your hands.Keep hands wet whilerolling meat into abouttwo-inch meatballs. Placemeatballs on a large platewhile you finish. Thisshould yield about 18-20meatballs.
Prepare simple toma-to sauce
Put 1⁄4 cup extra virginolive oil in large saucepan on medium heat. Stirin 1⁄2 cup chopped onionsand cook for 3 minutes.Add 3 cloves mincedgarlic and cook for only 2or 3 minutes and be care-ful not to burn garlic.Add 2 teaspoons Koshersalt and 1 teaspoon pep-per and simmer for an-other 2 or 3 minutes.Then add two 32 oz. canswhole tomatoes, crushedwith your hands (or freshtomatoes that are equalto the same amount).Cook for 5 minutes. Add 1teaspoon dry basil orabout 8-10 fresh basilleaves. Now add two 15
oz. cans tomato sauce andtwo 6 oz. cans tomatopaste. Rinse out cans toget the most of the sauce.Measure out two cups ofthe juice/sauce water andadd that to sauce. Sim-mer on low for 20 to 30minutes for marinarasauce only, or 45 minutesto an hour if you are add-ing uncooked meatballs.
Instant vanilla saucefor bread pudding,cake, etc.
OK, trust me on thisone. Instead of making
vanilla sauce with eggs,etc. from scratch, justmelt good quality vanillaice cream slowly until it’sslightly warm. Whatyou’ll wind up with is anot-too-thick sauce that isdelicious on bread pud-ding or drizzled into hotchocolate.

Toys and candy canesare coming alive in the 12animatedscenes inSanta’sWorkshop, which is pre-sented by neighboringbusiness The MariemontInn.
Exhibit owner BillSpinnenweber purchasedthe display at an auctionseveral years ago and hassincesearchedfor theper-fect venue to allow for thepublic’senjoyment.Hebe-lieves theexperienceaddsto the special holidayatmosphere in the VillageofMariemont that is annu-ally filled with shimmer-ing tree-lined streets andhouses aglowwith holidaymagic.
“Growing up with theMariemont Inn as I haveand now the owner, I getvery excited each year an-ticipating the Village tra-ditions during the Christ-mas season, Spinnenweb-er said. “Santa’sWorkshopin Mariemont is a specialaddition to these activ-
ities. I especially am hap-pywe are able to benefit alocal charity that serveschildren and their fam-ilies.
“This signature year inMariemont the elves and Iare planning a few specialsurprises, including amailbox to drop off lettersto Santa, and professionalphotograhywith Santa ev-ery Saturday and Sundayfrom 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. andother days by appoint-ment,”Spinnenweberadd-ed.“Santaalsowillbestop-ping in periodically tocheck on the elves’ work.We look forward to theseactivities becoming a partof the long-standing tradi-tions here in the Village.”
Native Cincinnatiansmayrecognize thenewex-hibit from years ago, andfor good reason. Its origindates to the Shillito’s De-partment Store displayfrom 1979 and years fol-lowing. At that time morethan 130 animated figureswere created fromscratch by local talent tofill 10 interior vignettes,sevenstorefrontwindows,and more than 20 othermerchandising windowsthroughout the store.
Each vignette featured
a scene of elves in theirNorthPoleworkshophelp-ing Santa build toys to de-liver on Christmas Eve.Thestorybeginswithchil-drendroppingofftheir let-ters to Santa in an over-sized mailbox and endswhere Santa’s sleigh isloadedwith toys to deliveron Christmas Eve. The vi-gnettes were so popularShillito’s continued to dis-play them every season,making slight changes tokeep it new and exciting.
Over time and afterShillito’s merged withFederated DepartmentStores and was renamedLazarus, the elveswere allbut forgotten. The displaywassold to localBoyScoutTroops , and then finallyput on auction in 2005,when Spinnenweber pur-chased the display.
“I amvery happy aboutbeing able to preserve thisCincinnati tradition andbring it here to Marie-mont,” Spinnenwebersaid. “For me it holds theessenceofthemagicoftheseason and brings out thechild in all of us.”
