Plans to consolidate WintonWoods’ six schools into twocampuses, in twonewbuildings,will have to wait, after votersdefeated the bond issue thatwould build a lower school inGreenhills and an upper schoolin Forest Park.

Though students will stayput in their current schools, Su-perintendent Anthony Smithsaid the district’s academicgoals will move forward.

“WintonWoods City Schools’needs havenot changed,” Smithsaid. “While we are disappoint-ed with the outcome, we realizethe importance of moving for-ward with another opportunity.

“If the bond had passed lastnight, it would still take threeand a half years for new build-ings to materialize,” he saidWednesday. “Winton WoodsCitySchoolswill continuework-

ing on academic standards, rig-orous content, the WintonWoodsOhio Improvement Plan,the Third Grade Reading Guar-antee and ACT results.

“The message in the State ofthe Schools is still the same: weare focused on educational re-form.

“A special thanks to the over3,000 community supporterswho believe in our work and

whatwe stand for,” he said. “Weare happy with voter turnout,but we know that if every sup-porter would have brought justone more positive voter, wewould be having a conversationwith Forest Park, GreenhillsandSpringfieldTownship aboutthe design of new state-of-the-

art facilities.”The bond issue failed, with

4,903 or 57 percent of votesagainst the bond issue and 3,670or 43 percent in favor.

Voter turnout in the districtwas 49 percent and 8,755 votersout of 17,960 registered votersin the district, which includes

parts of Forest Park,Greenhillsand Springfield Township, castballots.

Terry Hendricks, a ForestPark voter, said one reason hewent to thepollsonTuesdaywasbecause he wanted to supportthe Winton Woods Bond Issue.

“A lot of districts are gettingnew buildings,” he said. “Ourstudents need them.”

Forest Park residents San-dra and Elton Wooten said theyboth supported the WintonWoods bond issue. “Wedefinite-ly need new schools in this dis-trict,” Sandra said.

But there was opposition, aswell.

Signs telling voters the bondissuewas too expensive poppedup across the district.

The signs, which asked resi-dents to vote no on Issue 3, re-ferred to the amount of moneythe issue would raise:“$76,663,462 in local taxes? Ourresidents can’t afford this.”

Mount Healthy CityCouncil voted Nov. 4 toput an income tax in-crease back on the ballotin February just in case itfailed at the polls.

Turns out they didn’tneed to, as voters passedthe tax hike with 961 say-ing yes and 595 voting no,according to unofficialresults from the Hamil-ton CountyBoard of Elec-tions. Turnout was 38 per-cent; 1,587 of 4,164 regis-tered voters in the citycast ballots. 62 percentsaid yes and 38 percentwere opposed to the taxhike.

The request approvedby council Nov. 4 wasn’tsent on to the HamiltonCounty Board of Elec-tions, since voters ap-proved the income taxhike on the Nov. 4 ballot.

City Manager Bill Ko-

cher said he thinks thecity did a good job of ex-plainingwhy the increasewas needed.

“We’re pleased. Wemade a concentrated ef-fort toget the informationout,” he said. “Our mes-sage was consistent.”

The 0.5 percent in-crease in the MountHealthy City income taxis for the operation of theMountHealthyPoliceDe-partment and raises thecity’s income tax to 2 per-cent. It goes into effectJan. 1.

Council said the taxhike will allow the city tohire three additional full-time officers. The in-creasewill beused forpo-lice protection services,including salaries, equip-ment, vehicles and com-munication needs

The city had a 1.5 per-cent income tax beforethe increase. MountHealthy’s police depart-

ment has an annual bud-get of about $1.28 millionand the city’s total annualbudget is about $3.5 mil-lion.

The city is in the proc-ess of hiring a new police

chief. Kocher said the pe-riod for accepting re-sumes closed Oct. 31, andinterviews should be con-ducted in December. Heexpects to have the newchief hired in January.

Clovernook volunteernominated forNational Peter J. Salmon Award

Colerain Township resident Carmeli-ta Harvill has been named the Clover-nookCenter employee of the year, and isa nominee for the NIB (National Indus-tries for the Blind) Peter J. Salmon Em-ployee of the Year Award.

Salmon was instrumental in advocat-ing passage of the Wagner-O’Day Act of1938 and subsequent formation of NIB.

“It is such an honor to be a 2014 em-ployee of the year nominee, and repre-sent Clovernook Center at the nationalconference,” Harvill said. She was rec-ognized forherachievementsduring the2014NIBNational Conference inArling-ton, Virginia.

In her threeyears in the file folder as-sembly and production division, Harvillhasbecomeateamleaderandrolemodelfor other staff. Her natural mentoringabilities have helped her increase pro-duction in the department while servingas a guide for employees new to theworkforce.

Harvill is a member of ClovernookCenter’s Quality Work Environmentcommittee, and last year traveled toWashington, D.C., with Clovernook Cen-ter’s CEO to lobby on behalf of the blindcommunity.

Harvill, agraduateofCincinnatiStateCollege, is very active in her church andvolunteers with local shelters for thehomeless and for battered women.

Harvill’s nomination for The Peter J.Salmon Employee of the Year Award issignificant as it recognizes both herworkethicandoutstandingachievementover the previous year. Established in1968, the award serves to honor employ-ees who excel in their positions at NIBassociated agencies, who have an out-standing work ethic and high level ofachievement.

Blind artists sweepinternational art competition

First place was an unexpected sur-prise for Owens.

“If you’re chasing first place you’llnever truly enjoy it. I didn’t submit it

withanexpectationtowin,whichmadeitthat much more special,” she said.

Owens has be sculpting for 10 years,and has been featured three times, as aone woman show, at TheWilloughby ArtGallery. In past APH Insights competi-tions she has received second place,third place, and honorable mention, butthis is the first time she has earned thetop honor.

GREEN TWP. — It’s beena solid first year for thephysicians, nurses, staffand patients at MercyHealth – West Hospital.

The one year anniver-sary of the hospital’sopening is just around thecorner. The 250-bed, full-service facility opened itsdoors on Nov. 10 last year.

“We are just sopleased, things have goneremarkably well,” MercyHealth’s West MarketLeader and PresidentMike Stephens said.

The $240million hospi-tal, which employs morethan 1,000 people, offersthe latest advancementsin patient care and com-fort, new technologies,private patient rooms andexpanded medical ser-vices for West Siders.

It features comprehen-sive cardiovascular ser-vices, a comprehensivecancer center, a women’shealth center, maternityward and a family birthcenter, all of which arenew to this side of town.

The hospital also hasan emergency depart-ment, an orthopaedicscenter and state-of-the-art surgical capabilities,includingrobotic surgery.

Stephens said patientshave expressed apprecia-tion for theprivate rooms,

spacious family areas, thequietness of the buildingand the large windowsbringing in natural lightand offering views.

Based on the surveysfrom patients, he said thehospital ranks in the top75th percentile nation-wide for patient satisfac-tion.

The biggest issue thehospital has experiencedwas a lack of parking. Ste-phens said they’ve addeda second valet parkingservice and constructedan additional parking lotwith 80 more spaces.

The hospital is alsohaving a positive econom-ic impact on Green Town-ship.

Though the hospital isa nonprofit entity anddoesn’t pay property tax-es,GreenTownshipAssis-tantAdministrator/Direc-tor ofPlanningandDevel-opment Adam Goetzmansaid through the JointEconomic DevelopmentDistrict (JEDD) the town-ship established on thesite, township coffers re-ceive roughly $750,000annually from the hospi-tal and its accompanyingmedical office building.

The hospital’s pres-ence is beginning to leadto more investment andreinvestment in the Mon-fort Heights and WhiteOak area, Goetzman said.

Any student from aschool with an establishbandprogramhastobe in-volved in that program toparticipate. “We don’twant to take away fromthe school’s band,” Fisch-er said.

To get ready for LEAP,Fischer and La Salle ishosting a “fitting night”where the students cancome in, touch and try outthe instruments to findone they like and fits.

“It’s kind of like an in-strument petting zoo,” hesaid. “Everyone has an in-strument most ideallysuited for them.We’ll alsotalk to parents how to getinstruments.”

SPRINGFIELDTWP.—St.Xavi-er rolled over Grove City Cen-tral Crossing, 50-13, Saturdaynight in a Division I state play-off game. It was St. Xavier’sfirst playoff win since 2011.

The Bombers lost in the firstround of the postseason in eachof the previous two seasons. Itwas Central Crossing’s firstplayoff appearance in schoolhistory.

St. Xavier’s defense set the

tone immediately in the Bomb-ers’ first postseason game atBallaban Field since 2011.

“I thought we really cameout fromtheoutsetanddidwhatwewanted to do, which was runthe football,” said St. Xaviercoach Steve Specht. “It was animpressive performance.”

St. Xavier senior linebackerCole Jones intercepted GroveCity Central’s DericWilliamsonon the first series of the game.

The turnover set up seniorBen Glines, who carried it fourtimes for 40 yards and a touch-

down on St. Xavier’s first offen-sive possession.

Central Crossing seemed tocalm down in its second offen-sive series and put a drive to-gether, but the Bombers tight-ened up and were able to turnCentral Crossing over ondowns.

St. Xavier’s ground gameopened up play action and soph-omore quarterback Sean Clif-ford snuck outside on a nakedboot that went for 31 yards.

FOREST PARK — The goal ofanyprogramshouldbe todevel-op itsplayers so thatby the timethey’re seniors, they lead insuch a way that the underclass-men get the message and thatprocess continually repeats it-self.

Winton Woods High Schoolhad quite the group of seniorsthis year.

The Warriors won their lastgame of the season; unfortu-nately, it wasn’t in the playoffs.Winton Woods went 5-4 andmissed the postseason.

Looking back, WintonWoodscan only hope the underclass-men follow in the footsteps ofthe graduating seniors.

Three seniors in particularwill be tough to replace. Quar-terback Sean Steele, runningback Marcus Davis and line-backer David Long.

Long led the team in tackles(110) and is committed to West

Virginia.“He’s (Long) a throwback.

He playswith passion, loves thegames, and studies the peoplewho came before him,” WintonWoods coach Andre Parkersaid. “He’s been the most con-sistent player we’ve had for thelast three years.”

Long didn’t miss a game inthree years of playing on varsi-ty, Parker said.

Longwas the heart of the de-fense; Davis and Steele back-boned the offense.

Davis finished with 176 car-ries for 1,257 yards and 16touchdowns (in nine games).Davis’ carries were down froma season ago.

“His carries were down thisyear because we switched of-fenses,” Parker explained. “Hewas very unselfish about that,he wanted to do what was bestfor the team.”

Marcus’story isoneofperse-verance.

“Marcus is a kid that’s hadjust about every reason toquit,”

Parker said. “He broke his leg,really bad, his freshman year.Heneeded surgery andpins putin. He could have shut it down,but heworked really hard to gethis body back where it neededto be.”

Steele’s another example ofthe Warriors’ mentality. Thesenior quarterback playedthrough ahigh ankle sprain thataffected him for about sixweeks of the season.

Parker said Steele couldhave used that injury as an ex-cuse, but he didn’t.

Steele finished his seniorseason with 665 passing yards,606 rushing yards and 11 touch-downs (four passing).

TheWarriors played a roughschedule that included closegames against Elder and LaSalle.

“We’renotgonnasneakuponanyone,” Parker said. “Teamsare ready to play against us.”

Now, the question becomeswho’s gonna step up and leadWinton Woods going forward.

JustadayafterUniver-sity of Kentucky upsetFlorida Oct. 19, UK juniorOlivia Jester felt a senseof pride in the Wildcatsprogram.

“Oneofourmainpointswas just to be tough,” saidJester, a 2012 McAuleygraduate.“Wereallycame

out and gotafter it.”

The UK(10-5-0, 5-3-0 SEC)women’ssoccerteampicked upits biggest

winoftheseasontheafter-noon of Oct. 19 as the hostWildcats defeated nation-al top-5 rankedFlorida 2-0in front of a season-high1,172 at the Wendell &Vickie Bell Soccer Com-plex. The game was tele-vised nationally on theSECNetwork too.

Floridawas rankedNo.5 in the NSCAA poll andNo. 4nationally in theSoc-cer America poll.

“It was awesome,”Jester said of the fan sup-port. “You can alwayscount on the Big Blue Na-tion to support us.”

Jester,ajunior, isoneoftwo area players on theUK roster. Sophomore

goalkeeper Ayanna Park-er is from Summit Coun-try Day. Both playerswerepart of theOhioEliteclub team.

Since arriving at UK,Jester said she’s mostproud of how she’s grownas a player and how theprogram continues to de-

velop under coach JonLipsitz.

“Olivia is one of thosespecial athletes that weare very happy to havehere atKentucky,” Lipsitzsaid.

“She came in as a tech-nical player for us in themidfield andwe have now

converted her into one ofthe best centerbacks inthe league. She has an in-credibleworkethiconandoffthefieldandthatisadi-rect correlation to herplay on the field for us.”

Jester,who is fromCol-erain, has played in all 15games this season and hasa team-leading 1,326 min-utes for the Wildcats. Shescored an unassisted goalin a 3-0 win against visit-ing Morehead State onSept. 7.

“It’s hard to say wherewe would be without Oli-via on the back line rightnow,because shehasbeenso solid for us the last twoseasons. Playing the cen-terback position with thestyle of play that we have,it takes a very vocal, dy-namic leader to play thatposition, and Olivia in thepast couple of years hasstepped up and embracedthat role.”

UK won its first-evergameagainst a top 5 oppo-nent under Lipsitz and itwas his third top 10 win inhis six-year tenure.

Jester, who also hadPurdue and Vanderbiltamong her final collegechoices during the collegerecruiting process, saidshe was impressed by thefamily atmosphere Lip-sitz was trying to build atthe time.

Jester remembers at-

tending abasketball gameat Rupp Arena and beingthoroughly impressed.

“Iwantedtobuildapro-gram and make it better,”Jester said.

Jester, 20, alsowants tohelp athletes in her futurecareer endeavors.

A communications ma-jor with a minor in busi-ness, Jester would like towork inmarketing or pub-lic relations for a largecompany such asNike.

In the preseason, UKattendedNike’s campus inOregon and Jester en-joyedlearningmoreaboutthe company and how ithelps athletes.

But for now, Jester isopen to continuing to im-prove her soccer perfor-mances this season andlooking into next year.This past summer in theWomen’s Premier SoccerLeague for the ChicagoRed Star Reserves andwas named a 2014 WPSLNorthwest Central All-Star.

Jester remembers hertime at McAuley and saidthere was a closenessamong the players. One ofher favorite memorieswas anytime the team de-featedColerainduringtheseason.

“My favorite memorywas being with my teamand friends at McAuley,”she said.

The visiting Arrows ofthe Central Buckeye Con-ference earned the Re-gion 6 seventh seed de-spite finishing with a 5-5record and losing theirlast five games of the reg-ular season – their entireCentral Buckeye Confer-ence schedule.

Senior running backHjavier Pitts scored thefinal three touchdowns ofthegame for theOwls, theNo. 2 seed in the DivisionII Region 6 Harbin com-puter ratings behind LaSalle. They earned a sec-ond-round matchup nextFriday with third-seededKings, which defeatedsixth-seeded Northwest,

42-7.“This was real spe-

cial,” Pitts said. “We’rethe first team in Mt.Healthy history to be11-0.”

Senior quarterbackDavid Montgomery add-ed two touchdowns and110 yards on 13 carriesand was 7-of-13 for 95yards and a touchdownfor the Owls, who didn’thave to punt while gener-ating 518 yards of total of-fense.

Senior free safetyKen-neth English added a fifthinterception in the fourthquarter.

TheOwls,who finishedthe season ranked eighthin the Associated PressDivision II statewide polland second behind LaSalle in the Enquirer’s Di-vision II coaches’ poll, gotinterceptions from seniorlinebackers Danny John-son and Dominique Smithand Pitts in the first quar-ter and turned one into atouchdown on their wayto a 13-0 lead going intothe second quarter. Mont-gomery scored on a six-yard run and connectedwith junior DeShawnJackson for a 35-yardtouchdown pass.

Senior defensive backDeion Wilkerson loggedMt. Healthy’s fourth in-terception 49 seconds intothe second quarter, andMontgomery converted

with an 11-yard touch-down run, helping theOwls take a 20-0 lead with9:02 left in the first half.

In a battle of undefeat-ed football teams, Mt.Healthy will take onKings at 7:30 p.m., Friday,Nov. 14, at Lakota WestFirebird Stadium in the

second round.PLAY OF THE GAME:

Johnson’s open-field,tooth-rattling hit on Ar-rows junior quarterbackMatt Crain on a nakedbootleg at the Owls’ one-yard line on third downwith eight seconds left inthe first half. The hit pre-

served Mt. Healthy’sshutout.

STAR OF THE GAME:Pitts, who gained a ca-reer-high 211 yards, ac-cording to the SouthwestOhio Conference website,on 17 carries. Pitts wentinto the game with 22rushing touchdownswhile averaging 115.2yards per game this sea-son.

FROM THE SIDE-LINE: Mt. Healthy coachArvieCrouchon theOwls’defense, which limitedthe Arrows to151yards oftotal offense. Tecumsehwent into the game aver-aging 322.1 yards pergame: “I don’t think ourdefense is overlooked. Ithink everybody is start-ing to realize this teamhas one of the toughestdefenses I’ve evercoached.”

EXTRA POINTS: Bothteams counted wins overNorthwest on their re-sumes. Tecumseh edgedthe Knights, 14-9, in WeekThree. TheOwlswrappedup their undefeated regu-lar season with a 34-6 winover Northwest. … Mt.Healthy is making itsthird consecutive playoffappearance, its fifth inthe last six years and 10thin program history.

Note of thanks– and caution

“We have serious issuesfacing our country. Ohio fam-ilies and small businesses feeltoo strongly the uncertainty ofa still weak economy and theinsecurity of looming nationalsecurity threats.

“I’m honored that the peo-ple of Southern and SouthwestOhio have the confidence inme to represent their visionand their values in answeringthese challenges and workingto make our country a betterplace for everyone.”

“And, I agree with Marc-...David Pepper...you are notan appealing candidate...youare bland, you have no person-ality...no one wants to vote foryou...PG Sittenfeld has somepersonality...the voters likehim...he is a far better candi-date than Pepper, Fitzgeraldor any of the other deadheadsthe Ohio Democratic Partythrew in front of voters.”

A TIME TO VOTE, A TIME TO REACT

MEG VOGEL FOR THE ENQUIRER

Ann Hobing, senior director at Union Terminal, cheers early poll results ofIssue 8, the icon tax on Nov. 4 at Union Terminal.

Howard Rahtz‘s newestbook is “Drugs, Crime andViolence: From Trafficking toTreatment.”

Through the kindness ofRobyn Carey Allgeyer, I wasdelighted to meet and inter-viewHoward, an interestingand introspective gentleman.You are undoubtedly aware ofthe drug problem, but Howardpresents an insider’s view thatproposes drug regulation rath-er than prohibition.”

His perspective does notcome from having been a druguser; rather, his book givescogent rationale for discon-tinuing the same kind of attackon drugs that we have used formore than 40 years. He quotedEinstein’s definition of insan-ity: “Doing the same thingover and over again and ex-pecting different results.”

As written by Robyn, “How-ard Rahtz is one of only ahandful of people who haveworked on both sides of thedrug supply-demand equa-tion.” His career encompassessupervision of a Cincinnatimethadone program, servingas director of the AlcoholCouncil, Cincinnati PoliceDepartment SWAT negotia-tions team coordinator andcaptain of the city’s CentralVice Control Section.

Hemakesthe point thatmarijuana isthe cash cowof the drugindustry, andthus legalizingit will transi-tion about 40percent of thedrugmarketto the legiti-mate econo-

my. He gives Portugal as anexample. It used to have theworst IV drug use in Europe.Now, it has quadrupled thepercentage of addicts seekingtreatment by changing its drugpolicy. Rahtz posits that lega-lizingmarijuana will stop theviolence of the drugmarket,which will in turn give usenough treatment capacity tocut off the revenue streamonce the demand is reduced.

He recalls his days on thepolice force and has witnesseddrunken disputes when peoplehurt each other; but, he neverwitnessedmarijuana usersdoing the same. His experi-ences in hostage negotiationwhere everyone walked awayunhurt was extremely reward-ing; it was a team effort. Hespent much of his early careerin District Five and DistrictTwo.

Rahtz grew up in Green-hills, graduated with a degreein business administrationfromUC, but found the fielddidn’t appeal to him so he be-came a social worker and thena parole officer. After gettinghis masters in counseling,Howard worked for manyyears in Cincinnati’s metha-done program before joiningthe Cincinnati Police Depart-ment at age 42.

Howard is no bleedingheart, but one can see compas-sion in his eyes as he speaks ofthe hard, cold facts of the drugwar – devastation to familiesand health, shortened lifespans, neglected children andindividuals unable to securelong term employment. Hedoes not discount the factor ofenvironmental stresses, butknows from experience thatincarceration exacerbates theproblem. Howard firmly be-lieves that we are losing thebattle against drugs and re-searched publications as farback as 1964 to bolster thatopinion in his book.

Nov. 5 questionThere is a proposal in the

Ohio Legislature to keep schoolsopen year-round. Is this a goodidea?Why or why not?

“Because this is so unlikemy experience, and I reallyloved going to school, I wouldnot trade the summer workexperiences, and opportunityto go away from the structureof the class room for a while,for full time school years. Irecognize that some Asiancountries and others that havemore frequent, though short,‘vacation’ days, use the system.

“I ammostly interested inwhether the people I had, whowere excellent public schoolteachers, would have chosen toteach, without the opportunityto both have the extended timefor refreshing their own edu-cation or experience ‘life’ awayfrom the responsibilities ofbeing great educators. Thepublic buildings could certain-ly be used for adult educationor tutoring during the summermonths. Rents, paid by theusers, part time employmentfor many people, and the possi-bility that we might betterevaluate teachers by their

interest in self improvement,all create different thoughplausible scenarios.”

Don Brown

Oct. 29 questionDid you or will you vote early

this year, or will youwait untilElection Day?Why?

“I vote by absentee ballet,always. I travel a lot with myjob and that is the only way Ican insure that I will be able tovote. And I will be voting no onthe school building initiative inAnderson. I hope enough otherfine residents will vote no aswell.”

Divorce is painful, evenwhen you can see it on thehorizon. Within 42 months,suburbs around the city ofCincinnati have a major deci-sion to make, but it’s not a typ-ical election ballot choice.

The City of Cincinnati andHamilton County have a 1968Metropolitan Sewer Districtoperating agreement that endsin March 2018. At the recentquarterly meeting of our FirstSuburbs Consortium of South-west Ohio, I spoke to encour-age my elected peers fromother communities to join in amutual effort to plan our col-lective response to what fol-lows the likely splitup.

Costs of the sewer upgradesmandated by our cleanup con-sent decree have generatedangry calls from suburbanresidents about their bills.

Our county’s suburbanelected leaders have to decide,what ownership should we and

the countyassert, andwhat bond-holder assur-ances will beappropriate?This 42months’ ad-vance noticeallows electedofficials out-side Cincinnaticity limits to

determine what we want ourcounty government to do afterMarch 2018, assuming the 1968terms will inevitably be re-vised. I am hopeful that myelected peers fromMSD-usingcommunities inside the county(but outside Cincinnati) willjoin in an effort to get our col-lective plans together.

This year, the staffproved “there is no place likeSt. Ignatius” as they turned theschool into the Land of Oz. Thetransformation was made com-plete with a yellow brick road,a tornado streaming from theroof of the school, a rainbow inthe front office and muchmore.

The teachers from eachgrade level dressed in differ-ent themes including “101Dal-matians,” “Pac Man” and an-gels from heaven.

At 2 p.m., the students puton their own costumes andtook part in the annual Hallow-een parade. Principal TimReilly was dressed as the TinMan and assistant Laura Sievewas the Glinda the GoodWitch.

NOVEMBER 12, 2014 • HILLTOP PRESS • B3LIFE

Thanksgiving is al-ready on mymind, andjudging from the re-quests I’m receiving,apparently on some of

yourminds, too.Hasn’t theyear flownby? I knowthis can bea stressfultime, aswell, espe-cially ifyou’rehosting aholiday

dinner. So as I tell youevery year, remember,it’s not just about thefood, but who shares itwith you. Don’t worry ifeverything doesn’t comeout just right (as long asI’ve been cooking, ithappens to me, too). Pars-ley and whipped creamare foolproof culinaryband-aids!

It’s a good time tocheck your dry spicesand herbs. Do the snifftest and if you can’t smella good aroma, your foodwon’t be seasoned prop-erly. Toss it out and buynew. Write the month andyear on the container, asa year from opening isgenerally the shelf lifefor herbs and spices inground or leaf form.

Another tip is to gath-er your serving pieces,utensils, etc. a coupledays ahead of time. Put asticky note on the serv-ing pieces so you knowwhat goes into them.That way, if someone ishelping in the kitchen,there’s no chance ofsomething going into thewrong serving piece.

Lighter Kentuckyhot browns

For the Afton readerwho lost her recipe andtold me: “I like to makehot brown sandwicheswith leftover turkey. Therecipe that I use isn’t theoriginal recipe from theBrown hotel, and mysauce has Parmesancheese instead of Roma-no and whole milk in-stead of whippingcream.”

4 thick slices whitebread

About 1 pound roastedturkey, cut in thick orthin slices, whatever youlike

3 plum tomatoes,sliced

8 slices bacon, cookedPreheat broiler about

6” from heat. Toast breadslices until golden. Ar-range in 4 sprayed bak-ing dishes. Divide turkey

among them on top ofbread, pour Mornaysauce over, and sprinklewith Parmesan.

Broil until bubbly andgolden. Top with toma-toes and bacon and sprin-kle with more cheese.

Mornay sauce1 stick butter1/3 cup flour3 to 3-1/2 cups milkSalt and pepper to

taste1/2 cup shredded Par-

mesan plus extra forgarnish

Melt butter in panover medium heat. Whiskin flour and cook, whisk-ing constantly, about aminute. This takes theraw flour flavor out.Gradually whisk in 3cups milk. Bring to a boiland cook, whisking con-stantly, until thickened, acouple more minutes. Iftoo thick, add more milk.Remove from heat andwhisk in salt and pepperand cheese.

Tip from Rita’skitchen:

Parmegiano Reggianois the best cheese to use,since it melts well. Savethe rind and freeze to addto soups & stews.

Curried pumpkinsoup three ways

I like this plain butwill let guests help them-selves to either a swirl ofmaple syrup or applerelish on top. Suitable fordiabetics if eating plainand using lower fat dairyand sugar sub. I alwaysadd more curry, too.

3/4 cup minced onion1 teaspoon Canola oil2 cups chicken or

vegetable broth1-1/2 cups canned

pumpkin1 tablespoon lemon

juice1 teaspoon curry pow-

der or more to taste1 teaspoon sugar or

equivalent sub1/2 teaspoon saltDash pepper1/2 cup whipping

creamAdd oil to pot and

sauté onion until tenderbut not brown. Addbroth, pumpkin, juice,curry, sugar, salt & pep-per and bring to boil.Reduce heat; cover andsimmer 15 minutes. Pu-ree batches in blender orprocessor or use a handblender. Stir in cream;heat through. Adjustseasonings.

Tip from Rita’skitchen:

You can use low fat orfat free half & half orevaporated milk

RelishMix together and ad-

just seasonings aftermixing.

1 nice apple, unpeeledand finely diced

Finely diced red onionto taste - start with 3tablespoons

1 large lemon, about 2tablespoons

1/2 cup dried cranber-ries, finely diced

3/4 teaspoon favoritechili powder

Internet dating hasbecome big business butit can also lead to bigfinancial as well as emo-tional heartache.

A Cincinnati womannamed Cathy joined anonline dating service andwas contacted by a mannamed Paul. He claimedto own his own businessand have homes in Indi-ana, California, and Lon-don.

She says after corre-sponding with him for awhile he sent her pic-tures. Then, she says, “Itwasn’t very long afterthat he asked for money.I didn’t send any, notgoing to.”

Cathy says shechecked on the internetand found a website thatcontains copies of all theemails she had receivedfrom Paul – so she knewhe was a fraud.

She’s not the only oneto receive such emails.Barbara, from Elsmere,wrote me to say a manwith whom she had beencorresponding also start-ed asking for money.

Barbara writes, “Hepromises to come and seeme, and that he loves me.My problem is I don’tthink he’s working alone…He says he works onoil rigs, then he says he

hasn’tgotten paidfor hiscontractand needsmoney toget homeand thencome here.Now hesays he’s inScotland

and needs $3,000 to get alawyer to sign his papersto get his contract moneyso he can come here.”

Both women tell methey just want the letterwriters to be caught.Barbara says she haspictures of him and hismother and daughter –but then realizes he mayactually be using some-one else’s pictures.

Fortunately thesewomen didn’t send outany money, but the OhioAttorney General sayshe’s received more than40 complaints involvingthese so-called “sweet-heart scams.” The aver-age reported loss, hesays, is more than$26,000.

All the scammerswork the same way inthat they spend timedeveloping a relationshipwith their victims beforethey starting asking formoney. The victims think

they are helping someonethey care about and getcaught up emotionallyand financially.

Usually the victim willbe asked to wire the mon-ey and, if they do, it’snearly impossible torecover the funds. Theattorney general’s officesays most of the moneyhas been wired to Afri-can nations like Nigeria.

So, you need to becareful when meetingpeople on the Internet.Try to check them out bysearching the internet.Websites like PigBusters.net. offer tips about on-line scam artists. Anoth-er such site, WikiHow,warns, “You don’t have tobe rich and you don’thave to be stupid. Youjust have to be lookingfor love, a search thatcauses you to be morevulnerable than usual.”So, beware and neversend any money to one ofthese people you meetonline.
