MILFORD — Registration forthe third Halloween Edition soldout Sept. 10, just twoweeks afterregistration began for the event.

Halloween Edition, whichwill be in Historic DowntownMilford Saturday, Oct. 27, is afestive spinoff of Loveland’sAmazingRace. The event, whichis being organized by TricycleProductions, was open to 100teams of four.

The event is part scavengerhunt, part adventure challenge,with teams choosing from a va-riety of tricks to perform in anattempt to win. Each challengehas a point value, based on itscomplexity and difficulty.Tricks range from bobbing for

apples to standing on one’s headwith a Jack O’ Lantern on one’sfeet.

“There is a large number oftricks available to them,” saidMartin Schickel, ofTricycle Pro-

ductions. “They can do lots ofeasy ones, or a few difficulttricks.”

Whichever team achieves themost points wins the competi-tion.Gift certificates for the res-taurants and pubs sponsoringthe event will be awarded to thefirst- and second-place teams.

The sponsors also will offerbeer and food tasting to partici-pants after the scavenger hunt.

“Wewant thesepeople tohavefun that night and have a reasonto come back to downtown Mil-ford,” said Jason Rominger, co-owner of MJ’s on Main, which isone of the event’s four sponsors.

Rominger said MJ’s, whichhas been involved with Hallow-een Edition since it began, is go-ing to be participating in everyaspect of theevent. Inaddition to

offeringabeer andchickenwingtasting, many of the scavengerhunt clues will be hidden aroundMJ’s, he said.

MJ’s will also host an after-party, where event participantsand observers are invited towear Halloween costumes andenjoy music from a live band.

MJ’s and other sponsors, Pa-drino, Big Poppa Slims and TheMilford Inn are not the only es-tablishments who will be in-volved in Halloween Edition.

“Part of the purpose is tohighlight the amenities andbusi-nesses of downtown Milford,”Schickel said.

He said the event will high-lightbusinesses and locations in-cluding Enchanted Moments,

Beetles on Loveland’s Oct. 23 agendaLOVELAND — Loveland City

Council is scheduled to reconsid-er its call to remove all vulnera-ble trees in Asian longhornedbeetle quarantine areas – includ-ingBethel andTateTownship –atits Tuesday, Oct. 23, meeting.

City council approved a reso-

lution in June urging Ohio andfederal agencies to take down allpossible host trees, as opposed toremoving only those with knowninfestations, to ensure completeeradication of the beetles. It’s anactionadvocatedby some forest-ry experts.

Loveland Mayor Rob Weis-gerber subsequently referredthe matter to the city’s Tree and

Environment Committee for re-view after hearing from Bethelresidents opposed to the resolu-tion, includingDonnaGunn, vicemayor of Bethel Village Council.

The committee was to make arecommendation to LovelandCity Council Sept. 25, but com-mittee members asked for moretime and Loveland gave it tothem.

The Oct. 23 city council meet-ingwill begin at 8p.m. in cityhallon West Loveland Avenue.

Loveland City Council is in-volved in the Asian longhornedbeetle discussion because a por-tion of Loveland is in ClermontCounty, where Bethel and TateTownship are.

A review of the Aug. 16 Love-landTreeandEnvironmentCom-

mittee meeting minutes showscommittee members disagreewith Gunn about how to handlethe threat of the beetles.

Gunn said at the committeemeeting that the U.S. Depart-mentofAgriculturehasreleasedan environmental assessment ofthese four ways of responding:

» Removing all infestedtrees and all high-risk hosttrees within a half-mile ofthe infested trees.

» Removing all infestedtrees and either removinghigh-risk host trees ortreating high-risk host

trees within a half-mile ofthe infested treeswith imi-dacloprid. That’s a chemi-cal insecticide that willprevent the Asian long-horned beetle from enter-ing host trees that are notinfested, but will not killbeetle larvae.

» Removing all infestedtrees and treating high-risk host trees within ahalf-mile of the infestedtrees with imidacloprid.

» Taking no action.Gunn favors the third

option, the Tree and Envi-ronment Committee min-utes say, and “perhaps set-tling for” the second op-tion.

“The LovelandTree andEnvironment Committee’scurrent position is (thefirst option but the com-mittee)will review it againto fully explore all optionsand ideas,” the minutessay.

Gunn has said remov-ing all trees susceptible tothe Asian longhorned bee-

tle in Bethel would amountto some 70 percent of thevillage’s trees.

If Bethel lost thosetrees, Gunn said, therewould be more floodingdue to soil erosion and few-er trees absorbing water,streets and sidewalkswould fall apart because ofmoister soil, summer cool-ing bills would rise andproperty values fall.

Others from outsideLoveland have praised thecity for the stance it took inits resolution.

One was J. BradfordBonham of Wyoming, whosaid she is a green-indus-try professional who helpscities manage infestationsof the Emerald ash borer,which has been found onlyin ash trees inNorthAmer-ica.

The Asian longhornedbeetle is a threat to ash,maple, birch, horse chest-nut, poplar, willow and elmtrees, according to theOhio Department of Agri-culture.

“Seussical, the musi-cal,” most recently seen onthe Loveland High Schoolstage last fall, has enjoyedgreat popularity with thelocal theater community.

Now, Acting Up willbring “Seussical” back asits 15th musical Oct. 5-Oct.7 at Mason High School.

The Mason-based com-munity theater for youthdraws talent from allaround the area; even Day-ton and Kentucky. Thegroup usually dips into theLoveland talent pool, andthis production is no excep-tion. Joey Schell is direct-ing the 65 youngsters castin this show – 16 of themfrom Loveland.

“We’ve been blessed tohave a lot of Loveland tal-ent and we’ve been able to

maintain that,” Schnellsaid. “We try to featurethem a lot. We have a lot of

talent we’retrying toutilize.We’ve had alot of peoplefrom Love-land.”

DrewKovacs is“The Cat inthe Hat” for

the third time. He firstplayed it on the LovelandStage Company stage andthen again last fall withLoveland High School. It’sjust that the companies heperforms with have alldone “Seussical” recentlyand they ask who he wantsto be.

“Third time,” Kovacssaid. “I’ll be ‘The Cat.’ Ihave everything ready. I’moff book. I’ve got this so

don’t worry. It is fun. I’mreally enjoying the play.”

Nick Huber may bemaking his Acting Up de-but, buthealsobringspriorexperience in “Seussical.”He played General Gen-ghis K. Schmitz last fall atLoveland High School andwill play Horton in thisshow. His brother Brandonplayed Horton last year.

“Here’s the funny thing,at Loveland Stage Compa-ny, Brandon was GenghisK. Schmitz and at the highschool I was Genghis K.Schmitz,” Huber said.“When he heard I got Hor-ton, he said: ‘Brother fol-lowing in my footsteps.’That’s how he put it.”

Still, it is Nick’s firstshow with Acting Up.What’s theexperiencebeenlike for him?

“I really like Acting Up,I really do,” Huber said.

“It’s a different experiencefor me. I like meeting thenew people. I also like thefaculty (adult staff of di-rectors etc.) here. They arevery welcoming. I meanfirst show and I get a leadrole.”

Kovacs has played arole in all of the 15 produc-tions by Acting Up. Thiswill be his final perfor-

mance as a youth. In facthe’ll celebrate his 18thbirthday on opening night.

“It’s a very big produc-tion up on that hugeMasonstage,” Kovacs said. “It hasso many kids involved. Alot of people like to watchthe main characters, but ithas a replay value whereyou can come back everynight and pick up some-

thing different. It sets thisapart.”

“These kids are deter-mined togoupon that stageto do what they love,” Hub-er said. “These little kidsaregoingoutona limbtodosomething amazing. Wealso have a great cast ofolder teens with beautifulvoices.”

LOVELAND — The volleyballturnaround at Loveland con-tinues under coach Mary Luningas the Lady Tigers have gonefrom five wins two seasons ago,to 15 last year and a chance foreven more this season.

Loveland hasn’t won a leaguetitle since 2000 and Luning hasbeen hesitant to even bring thepossibilityup toher team.There-ality is Loveland can win the ini-tial Eastern Cincinnati Confer-ence crown if they hold off therest of the league down thestretch.

“We’re in contention,” Luningsaid. “Everybody’s tough in ourleague. Everybody’s there. Ev-erybody could beat anybody on agiven day.”

Loveland has already defeat-ed most of the league at press-time with the exception of earlylosses to Kings and Anderson.Thoughshe’d like towin, sheseesno clear-cut favorites.

“Turpin, Milford and GlenEstearealwaysscrappy,”Luningsaid. “I could say every singleone of them. Anderson washuge.”

A banner hangs in the Love-land gym showing the last threevolleyball titles from 1998, 1999and 2000. There’s plenty of roomto add 2012 to it should the ECCwork out in the Lady Tigers’ fa-vor.

“Wewant it bad,” Luning said.“This team is really focused thisyear mentally.”

Luning’s ladies feature sixseniors, including 6-foot middleblocker Lindsay Flaherty, who’scommitted toplayatTowsonUni-versity. She works the middlealong with 6-foot sophomore Sa-raMarlattwho’s also fieldingcol-lege offers.

A goodword to describe Love-land’s front row would be “ac-tive.” Teams are never surewhich girl will slam the ball for-ward.

“They work so well together,that this stuff kind of gels andwecandoother things,”Luningsaid.

Senior setter Lauren Blum-berg is also reviewing offers, in-cluding one from Otterbein. Ju-nior 5-foot-10 hitter SidneyThomas is also generating col-lege interest.

Factor in senior setter ErinMautino and defensive specialistKayla Senters, and Loveland of-fers up veteran experience in allof the key positions.

“I’ve always thought they

were good,” Luning said. “It justwas the mentality that was hold-ingusback. Itwas like, ‘Oh,we’rejust Loveland.’ These guys havereally bought into it and arethinking above where they couldbe.”

In addition to being tough inthe ECC, Loveland has also wonmatches with Greater MiamiConference opponents like Ma-son, Sycamore and Colerain.

With LindsayFlaherty and Sa-ra Marlatt among the top 100 inthecity inoffensiveattackstatis-tics, and Lauren Blumberg

among the top 30 in assists, Lun-ing has a good feeling about herteam and their chances for a tro-phy.

“If theysettle inandplay theirgame and are mentally tough,they’re reallygood,”Luningsaid.“The big thing is finding the re-spect from other teams, too.We’ve always had good players.It was hard to get their votes (inpolls). It’s the mentality thatwe’ve been trying to fight here.”

Next for Loveland are back-to-back road games at Glen EsteOct. 4 and Little Miami Oct. 8.

be rewarded with Andreatallyinga short finishoff ofa Moloney corner-kicknear the midpoint of thefirst. Erin Iaciofano closethe first half scoring off aMadison Taylor assist.

In the second half,Mad-dy Ribeiro slotted twogoals – one with a helperfrom Megan Phelan. Love-land continued to press ,with shots from Hanna Ol-berding,AbbyKleuh,Mad-ison Taylor, and KatieWright .

Loveland 1, Sycamore0 - Strong efforts frommidfielders Erin Iaciofa-no,Morgan Ovens, and An-drea Gomez providedLoveland with some spark

in the first half, but bothsides found little opportu-nity to test the opposingkeepers in the opening pe-riod. In thesecondhalf,Ab-byKleuhwas a rock for thedefense .

With 10 minutes left Le-na Koenig found DarbyMoloney, unmarked at 25yards out. As she’s done allyear, Darby found the netfromdistance for thegamewinner. Pam Shoemakerand Rachel Price com-bined for a clean sheet.

Lebanon1,Loveland0 -Despite controlling playfor the first 20 minutes,Loveland failed to score.Andrea Gomez createdLoveland’s best chances

mid-way through the half— one a header and anoth-er a cross-turned shot thatnarrowly slid past the farpost.

Following those efforts,Loveland would lose conti-nuity in the mid-to-latestages of the first half, andLebanon’s Isabel Sheywould sting the Lady Ti-gers with a scoring shotfrom 20 yards out with lessthan two minutes until thebreak.

Suddenly reeling, theLadyTigers needed a hero-ic diving save from keeperRachel Price with 5 sec-onds left in the half to staywithin a goal. Lovelandwould come out with a

senseofurgency in thesec-ond half; Darby Moloneywould open the half withanother of her wicked,long-range shots – howev-er, she’d met her match inLebanon’s Garlock- whocoolly tipped the shot overthe bar. Successive cor-ners yielded strong efforts– a header by Abby Kleuhalso required a save byGarlock.

Loveland played well inthe second half – EleanorLandis bolstered the squadin the midfield, and LenaKoenig was crucial in thedefensive third for Love-land.

The loss would dropLoveland to 4-3-3.

That our president, threeand one-half years into hisfirst term, has 43 percent ofrespondents (GalluppollAug.30-Sept. 1) approve his jobperformance is vastly moreinformativeabout thewaythehuman mind works that it afactual barometer of thequal-ity of his service.

Once we have voted for aparticular candidate, regard-less of reason, virtually everyfiber of our body goes intoservice of the idea that thiswas a good and wise choice.Admitting error, even whenthe evidence is clear andabundant, is a grace thatcomes to few.

They are confident, ratio-nal, often wise adults. Thekindest face one can fairlyput onmany of the 43 percentis that they are not well in-formed. With unemploymentover 8 percent, now for threeyears, 23 million job seekersout of work, and the additionof $5 trillion to our nationaldebt it cannot be otherwise.

This, the longest and deep-est recession since the GreatDepression of the 1930s, rep-resents the failure of an ad-ministration. The presidenthad his chance.

Now it is time we do theright thing, not boost our ownself-imagebyvotingagain fora man who was just not up tothe job. Those who follow de-serve better. Dare we do anyless than give them that?

Levy needed tomaintain services

When asked whether onewants to pay taxes, the an-swer is usually no.

It is a necessity, though,that we pay taxes to supporttheworkofgovernmentwhenwe demand services from it.Roads and bridges, publicsafety (police/fire) and ac-cess to water/sewer are ex-amples of work that is mosteconomically provided bygovernment.

Since the source of incomefor government is taxation,the question before Lovelandthis fall is notwhether it is de-sirable to pay income tax orincrease it, but rather to con-sider whether we want theservices we now receive.

Since 2010 the city has cutthe budget more than$400,000. After holding com-munitymeetings last year thecity determined additionalbudget cuts. The result is anadditional $430,000 of cutsplanned for 2013 and 2014.The loss of revenue from es-tate taxes, tangible personalproperty tax and the reduc-tion of the local governmentfund fromstate taxeshave re-sulted in a deficit of about $1million.

To make up the differencebetween the planned cuts andthe projected deficit wouldrequire significant additionalcuts. The city has said theseinclude, but are not limited to:laying off five firefighters,the equivalent of five policeofficers, and one mainte-nance person as well as re-ducing road rehab and elimi-nating the assistant city man-ager.

To avoid these additionalcutsa .25percent tax increaseis needed; roughly $13.50 permonth for an income of$65,000 (Loveland median).

The city has already madethe easy cuts as well as moredifficult cuts. Tomaintain ba-sic services that we now en-joy, we must pay for them byincreasing the tax. If not, thenwe must accept the loweringof safety and maintenancestandards. Please considerthe small increase this taxrepresents to you and voteyes to maintain the serviceswe now have.

I am one of two judges whopreside over Hamilton CountyMunicipal Court’s Mental HealthCourt (MHC). Any judge, attorneyor probation officer may refer adefendant charged with a misde-meanor to MHC at any time dur-ing the case: at pretrial, trial,sentencing, or even after the origi-nal judge has placed them onprobation.

Once someone is referred toMHC they are screened by thecourt psychiatric clinic to confirmthat they have an eligible diagno-sis. Next a public defender meetswith the defendant to explain theprogram, and prosecutors alsomust agree to a case being placedinto MHC.

The program is optional, but ifthe defendant meets the criteriaand wants to participate, he or sheis assigned to one of the twoMHCjudges, pleads guilty to thecharge, and the judge sentencesthe defendant to one year of in-tensive probation. The defendantmeets theMHC team comprisedof a specialized probation officer,the attorneys, the judge, and em-ployees of Greater CincinnatiBehavioral Health, an agency ofcare managers, counselors, doc-tors and nurses who provide

“wrap aroundservices” forthese defen-dants, includingreferrals fordrug and alcoholaddiction, hous-ing issues, oreven help inorganizing theirdays. The indi-vidualized pro-grams offer

classes ranging from behaviormodification to art therapy.

Each judge schedules her indi-viduals about twice a month forstatus reports. Before court, theteammeets in the judge’s cham-bers to update the judge on theprogress or setbacks of each indi-vidual up for report that day.

As the one in the black robewho has the power to put people injail, I sometimes have the role of“the enforcer.” It is rare that any-one will go to jail while in theprogram, but they do have to beaccountable to me. Often I get tobe the one who offers praise andsupport for their efforts. This is awonderful collaboration betweenthe criminal justice system andthe mental health system.

For the year that these defen-

dants are in our programwe canget them stabilized in their mentaland physical health and in theirhousing, and we can connect themto people and services that canhelp themmaintain their stability.We are successful if we can keepour participants crime free for theyear that they are in the program,and for one additional year be-yond the program. Eighty-sixpercent of our program partici-pants remain crime-free for theyear in the program and for theyear following successful termi-nation from the program. This is afar higher success rate than thenational statistics, and more im-portantly, after defendants finishthe year’s program, they stayengaged with their service provid-ers.

This is a win-win situation:citizens are happy that crime isdown, the defendants feel betterphysically and emotionally, andthese people who really don’tbelong in jail do not take up valu-able jail space. MHC is funded inpart through the Hamilton CountyMental Health Board.

I watched last year’s U.S. Opengolf tournament on NBC. I wasespecially pleased to see the cov-erage included a group of childrenwith their hand on their heartsaying the Pledge of Allegiance. Itruly never get tired of hearingthe Pledge of Allegiance and italways brings a warm, proud andgrateful sense of being an Amer-ican.

Unfortunately, my feelingswere abruptly dampened withwhat I heard, or more specificallywhat I did not hear. These daysnothing would really surprise mewith the national media, yet, thistime was especially offensive atthe highest level. NBC took theinappropriate liberty of editingout the words “Under God” and“Indivisible” from the Pledge ofAllegiance.

As I write this article I’m stillangry and disgusted with NBC forthe extreme disrespect they ex-hibited especially during a timewhen our country is in two warsnot including the yet to be deter-mined conflict with Libya. As Iwrote this article I briefly consid-ered using more politically cor-

rect words suchas “disappoint-ed” or “sur-prised” whendescribing myfeelings aboutthe intentionaldecision onNBC’s part butthat would playinto an alreadymuch too politi-

cally correct America. Yes, I amangry with NBC for their decisionto disrespect the flag and all thatit stands for. I can only imaginethe decision was reached by someelites that are disingenuous to thecore. I believe I’m one of manyAmericans who will not be manip-ulated by any person or organiza-tion that are naive by their lack ofappreciation of the very countrythat allows them to behave in sucha despicable and ignorant manner.

Finally, in my opinion, there isa God and he deserves all theglory. God is part of the Pledge ofAllegiance and should not andcannot be removed. NBC’s behav-ior was intentional and wemustnot be hoodwinked into believing

it was some kind of oversight.Without question people at NBCknew exactly what they weredoing and as with most of thenational media they think thepublic is too stupid and lazy toactually be concerned about.America is exceptional and thegreatest country in the world, yet,we must be diligent in order tomaintain the fiber, integrity andvery foundation that sets us apartfrom other countries. God is thekey to our country andman shouldnever ignore, ridicule or removeGod from its principles and foun-dation.

God bless all the men and wom-en in uniform and all who havemade the ultimate sacrifice forour great country. Also, God blessthose misguided folks at NBC andany other Americans who havelost sight of the many blessing andliberties that are only available inAmerica.

serve’sdecisiontobuy$40billionamonth inmortgage-backed securi-ties to cut borrowing costs forhomebuyersandotherborrowers,and pledge to keep short-termrates near zero until at leastmid-2015 will help the economy?Why or why not?

“Yes.“Anything, albeit it new and un-

tested, is better thandoingnothingin this ongoing challenging econo-my.

"There is always the possibilityit may be successful, be it for theshort or long term.

"Also, if it is trulydesignedtoallhelp all rather than only those atthe top echelon of the social strata,it would be more fair to all that

may be eligible for same.”J. J.

“No, I do not think the FederalReserve's decision to buy $40 bil-lion a month in mortgage-backedsecurities is a good idea.

“All of us know of friends andneighbors who have lost theirhomes because they could not paytheir mortgages. The solution isnot to have the government step inand rescue the lenders of mort-gages to people who cannot affordthem.

“The solution is to create amore friendly climate for busi-nesses by eliminating many of theregulations imposed by the gov-ernment on businesses, whichhave discouraged the hiring of USworkers causing massive unem-ployment.

SMOYfest, as it is fondlydubbed, began 27 years ago atLanden Lake. Attendance wasapproximately 500-600 and thefestival included a Rozzi Fire-works finale,” said Deacon RayKroger, of St. Margaret of York.

Amid a arre summer rainyevening, SMOYfest kicked intohigh gear with non-stop fun,great food, entertainment, andactivities that lasted throughthe close of another great festi-

val on Sunday night.“I’d say there were close to

10,000 attending this year’s fes-tival,” said The Rev. JanSchmidt, pastor of St. Margaretof York.

The parish thanks the manyvolunteers who made this possi-ble and extends a huge thankyou to the Loveland communityfor sharing in this “mid-sum-mer” festivity. “Many noticedthat the way the booths were

configured and set up this yearthat the festival didn’t have thefeel of being crowded when infact it was,” said Mark Manley,Parish administrator.

Tony Riegling, St. Margaretof York Parish School principal,consented to sit in thewater bal-loon booth for 10 minutes.

“The line of kids and adultsgot so long, it turned out to be 40minutes! It was lots of fun; andthe kids, and adults had a great

One of these days I’mgoing to write a cookbookincluding “Hall of Fame”recipes frommy column.When I think of all the

recipessharedacross ourcommunityof readersand theinterestgeneratedby them, Iknow thatfood sharedwith familyand friends

is not only nurturing butmakes memories andtraditions. That’s whyevery year I get requestsfor Nell Wilson’s pickledpeppers. Nell, a Masonreader, is the mother ofour garden guru, RonWilson, and her pickledpeppers are the best. I’veadapted the recipe overthe years, but the originalpremise comes fromNell.Peppers are in season soby making your own, youare saving lots of moneyplus you know exactlywhat’s in them.

Nell Wilson’sfamous hot pickledpeppers

I make this with a mix-ture of mostly hot peppers.I usually don’t add 2 cupssugar; if I use any at all,I’ll start out with half acup, taste the brine and gofrom there. You’ll getenough brine for 5-6 pintsor about 3 quarts peppers.

Peppers:

2 pounds or so, prepared asdirected below

Brine:Bring to a boil, then

lower to a simmer for 5minutes.

6 cups clear or cider vinegar,5 percent acidity

2 cups water

Optional ingredients:

Sugar to taste: up to 2 cupsSalt: up to 2 tablespoons, ifyou want

1 garlic clove for each jar1 bay leaf for each jar1 grape leaf for each jar (thissupposed tomake themextra crunchy)

Bring brine to a boil.Let simmer 5 minutes orso.

Prepare peppers:Use rubber gloves.Leave peppers whole

with a slit down the centerif you like, or slice. Placepeppers in hot jars, pack-ing tightly. Pour simmer-ing brine over, coveringpeppers. Add optionalingredients. Wipe rimswith clean wet cloth. Putlids and seals on. Profes-sionally, I’ll tell you toprocess pints 10 minutesor quarts 15 minutes in aboiling water bath aftersealing. That is the recom-mended safe method forcanning. (Check out myblog for directions.) I don’tprocess mine, but I steril-ize the jars and lids, andkeep them in boiling water

until they’re filled. I havenever had a problem, butagain, the recommendedway to preserve these is ina boiling water bath. Jarswill seal on their own –you’ll hear little “pings” asthe seal completes. Anythat don’t seal, just put inrefrigerator. Chill in re-frigerator before serving.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen• The membrane that

the seeds are attached to isthe hottest part of thepepper.

• The lids are a two-parter: a flat seal and aring. The rings are reus-able, but the seals are not.

• See Rita make these:video for pickling pepperson www.abouteating.com.

• Peppers are good foryour eyes and heart,among other things.

Spicy bistro oystercrackers for soups

With autumn comeschilly days and the aromaof a pot of soup cooking isso comforting. Take soupto a whole new level withthese tasty crackers. I caneat these as a snack! Youcan add more garlic pow-der, oregano and chilipowder. Crush these for anunusual topping for macand cheese, etc.

1 24 oz. box oyster crackers¾ cup canola or olive oil1 envelope Taco seasoning½ teaspoon each garlicpowder, Italian seasoningor oregano, chili powder

Preheat oven to 350. Putcrackers in big bowl.Whisk oil and seasoningstogether. Taste and addmore seasoning if you like.Sometimes I’ll add moregarlic powder. Pour overcrackers and toss to mixwell. Pour onto cookiesheets in single layers.

Bake 15-20 minutes, stir-ring once, until goldenbrown. Cool and store,covered, at room temper-ature.

Beckett

The mystery of the ex-clusiveunionof theChurchas Bride with the Lord isexpressed in the vocationof cloistered nuns, precise-ly because their life is en-tirely dedicated to God,loved above all else.”

These words of Vaticandocument Verbi Sponsacapture the vocation thatcalled Sister Mary Jordanof the Holy Family, O.P.,formerly Ida Friemoth ofLoveland, toahidden lifeofprayer in the deep South.

On Saturday, Aug. 18,Sister Mary Jordan of theHoly Family, O.P.made herSolemn Profession at theDominican Monastery ofSt. Jude inMarbury,Ala., inthe presence of Archbish-op Thomas J. Rodi, arch-bishopofMobile, andArch-bishop Emeritus Oscar H.Lipscomb, Dominican fri-ars&sisters, diocesancler-gy, friends, family and herDominican community.

Sister Mary Jordan, theoldest child ofDale andRa-chel Friemoth of Loveland,first became aware of hercall to religious life in her

early teens.After graduating from

her family’s home schooland from the inauguralyear ofHoly Family Catho-lic Home Educators’ highschool co-op Mary Seat ofWisdom, Sister Mary Jor-

dan attended ChristendomCollege in Front Royal, Va.

Drawn to the Order ofPreachers by the witnessof Dominican Friars at St.Gertrude Parish in Madei-ra, her family’s parish,where she participated inthe high school YouthGroup and the 20s Group,she firstmet thenunsat theDominican Monastery ofSt. Jude shortly after hergraduation from college.

After teachingfifth-andsixth-grade for a year at St.Edmund Campion Acad-emy in Cincinnati, SisterMary Jordan joined theAlabama community inSeptember 2006.

“Many elements at-tracted me to the monas-tery,” said SisterMary Jor-dan when asked about hervocation, “but there is onereason why I can makevows today ‘until death:’ Iam convinced that Jesuswants me to belong com-pletely toHim, to seekHimconstantly in purity ofheart, and to givemy life inunion with Him for the sal-vation of souls.”
