said investigators believetheMarch1fire started ina foodpreparation cornerof the restaurant’s kitch-en, across the room fromstoves, ovens and otherhot equipment.

The corner is nearwashing and drying ma-chines and investigatorsconsidered—thenreject-ed – the theory that anelectrical short startedthe fire, she said.

In the cornerwhere in-vestigators believe thefire started, “We deter-mined that there was aFormica cabinet that ranfrom one end of the wallto the other end of thewall, but the only thing inthe cabinet was plasticstorage containers, driedfood items and stainlesssteel bolts,” Lippmeiersaid.

“So there was nothingreally there that couldhave started the fire.”

The Little Miami JointFire & Rescue Districtclassified the cause of thefire as undetermined andnot suspicious.

There’s no mysteryabout theaftermath, how-

ever.“Ninety percent of the

kitchen is burned, and athird of the main diningroom,” Todd Lippmeiersaid.

“Thefirewent throughthe roof so all the maintrusses are going to haveto be replaced.

“Basically the wholeplace has to be gutted,”Lippmeier said.

Lippmeier said a sur-veillance camera at aneighboring businessshows flames breakingthrough the roof of Las-zlo’s Iron Skillet about 90minutes after the restau-rant closed.

“They see when it

started inside by the win-dows,” Lippmeier said.

“They could see thelight flickering from theflames.”

Monica Lippmeiersaid that once owners de-cide how to proceed withthe restaurant, they willnotify customers byemail and Facebook.

They alsowould like toannounce their plans at aget-together or dinnerwith customers on the un-damaged outside patio,she said.

ments between SuttonRoad and the Village Pre-school and between thefire station andBruceAv-enue, are finished, PublicWorks Director RichardShelley said at a recentmeeting,

Construction crewsare working on the curbsnow, and the additionalproject elements shouldbegin soon.

Jeff Hallmark, whoowns Covent Garden Flo-rist at thecornerofSuttonand Salem, said theplanned changes will begood for the area, but thecurrentconstruction isaf-fecting their business.

“Having the cones upaffects traffic and im-pactsus.Ourwalk-in (cus-tomer traffic) is downsig-nificantly, andyoucan tellthere is a difference be-cause of the constructioncrews.”

They’ve spoken to oth-er neighboring businessowners at the corner ofSalem and Sutton roadsand many are experienc-ing the same issues.

“We’ll be gladwhen it’scomplete,” he said.

The Ohio Public WorksCommission will pay for

80 percent of the con-struction costs. HamiltonCounty and AndersonTownship taxpayers willpay for the other 20 per-cent grant match, oraround $150,000 each.

Once the Salem Roadproject is finished, con-struction is scheduled tobegin on a major revital-ization of the Clough Pikebusiness district betweenNewtown and Bridgesroad.

This project includes

defining driveways,storm water modifica-tions, sidewalks and newleft-turn lanes in both di-rections at GoldengateDrive and BerkshireRoad.

Another left-turn lanewill be added at Royal-green Drive for driversheading east on CloughPike.

The Anderson Town-shipBoard of Trustees re-cently authorized spend-ing another $21,898 of tax-payers’ money for addi-tional engineering fees,whichAssistantTownshipAdministrator Steve Sie-vers said would lower theright of way costs by al-most $178,000.

Sievers said the OhioDepartment of Transpor-tation will likely awardthe contract in July withconstruction expected tobegin in late summer orearly fall.

The entire project,construction and right ofway, is estimated to costaround $2.8 million with80 percent funded by afederal grant.

BRIEFLY

The general election isstill more than fivemonths away, but at leastone Anderson Townshiptrustee candidate has se-cured a spot on the Nov. 5ballot.

Josh Gerth was thefirst candidate to file therequired paperwork withthe Hamilton CountyBoard of Elections afterhinting at a possible runfor trustee inMarch.

NeitherPeggyReis norKevin O’Brien, the twotownship trustees up forre-election, haveofficiallyfiled with the countyBoard of Elections, ac-cording to aMay 8 list.

Though he has not offi-cially filed the requireddocuments, O’Brien saidhe is planning to run forre-election.

Reis was not able to bereached for comment.

Gerth, who grew up inAnderson Township andmoved back to the com-munity a decade ago, ispresident of the AndersonTownship RepublicanClub. He a member of the

Anderson Town-ship Park Dis-trict’s Board ofParkCommission-ers and was reap-pointed to that po-sition earlier thisyear.

Gerth said hewanted to run forthis office becausehe loves the town-ship and can bringa different per-spective to theBoard of Trustees.

“I think trust-ees,not justhere inAnderson but oth-er townships, tendto be of an older genera-tion and the ones we’vehad in the past have cer-tainlydoneagreat job, butI’d like to bring a littlemore diversity to theboard as someone young-erwithayoungfamily,”hesaid.

“I think I can bringsomething different to thetable.”

Gerth said some of hismain issues include con-tinuing to provide basicservices to residents de-spite shrinking budgetsand revenue sources, as

well as promotingredevelopment inkey areas in Ander-son Township likethe Beechmont cor-ridor and along theOhio Riverfront.

“Preserving ourreputation as agreat township iscertainly one ofmykeypoints,”hesaid.“(The Board ofTrustees should)realize they workfor the people ofAnderson Town-shipandouroverallreputation is re-flected in who is

leading our township aswell.”

O’Brien said he is plan-ning to run for re-electionbecause there are someprojects he would like tosee to fruition like devel-opment along the OhioRiverfront and in the An-cor area near Round Bot-tom and Broadwell roads.

“We’re looking at sig-nificant job creation andsignificant tax-base infra-structures,” O’Brien said.“Both those areas werecampaign issues and havebeen for years. Those re-

main unfinished and Iwant to see themthrough.”

He was elected to hisfirst term as trustee in2009 and ran unsuccess-fully in 2001 and 2007.

Shortly after his elec-tion in 2009, reports sur-faced about allegations offinancial misconduct thatresulted in O’Brien beingpermanently barred fromthe securities industry.

During his three yearsin office, O’Brien has alsobeen sued by his formercompany for repaymentof more than $330,000 heallegedly took from a cli-ent for personal use andwas under investigationby theOhioDivision of Se-curities for getting paidforgiving financial advicewithout a proper license.

Many Anderson Town-ship residents have re-peatedly called for O’Bri-en to resign, but the trus-teehasrepeatedlyrefusedto step down.

The Anderson Town-ship Republican Clubwants to change Ohio lawto allow the removal oftrustees from office.

ANDERSON TWP. — The bigbrother quickly says he’s bet-ter. The little brother ... actu-ally agrees.

The Turpin High Schoolbaseball team features a sib-ling non-rivalry that didn’t al-low a run in its first two sec-

tional tournament games.After an 11-14 regular sea-

son against arguably themostdifficult schedule in the city,Spartan senior lefty RyanFlynn threw a 7-0 complete-game shutout againstMiddle-town and junior righty CoreyFlynn threwacomplete-game2-0 shutout against Elder topropel the team into the sec-

tional finals May 23 againstnationally-rankedMoeller.

A Moeller team, by theway, Corey stymied for six in-nings before back-to-back-to-back errors in the field al-lowed the Crusaders to comeback and win 5-4 in the sev-enth.

“Based on our record youwouldn’t expect (us to be in

the sectional finals), but ourschedule was the toughest inthe district,” said head coachAdam Nemo. “That’s why weplayed those games, so whenwe got to this point in the sea-son therewouldn’t be any sur-prises.”

MT. WASHINGTON — Notmany athletes admit they areterrible at a sport.

McNicholas High Schooljunior Megan Schaefer does.Happily.

“I’m awful,” the NewRichmond resident said witha chuckle. “I don’t think I gofast enough that I could everreally hurt myself.”

The good news for Rocketfans is Schaefer is talkingabout skiing. She’s plentyfast on the track where -among other events - she an-

chors the 4x200 relay teammaking a bid for the statemeet.

“Distance has been goodfor us for a long time,”McNick head coach Dan Ro-senbaum said. “When KatHumphries came here in2006 and went to state fourstraight years, that kind ofraised the profile for thesprinters and it’s carriedover until now. That kind ofelevated the sprinters’ mind-set to thinking theycouldbeagood part of the team, too,and they have been.”

seasonwerehard tocomeby,they came predicated on twothings.

“Pitching and defense,”Nemo said. “We hit justenough towin,butwehave topitch and play defense. If wedo that, any game is winna-ble. If we don’t any game islosable. Every game (Ryan)has thrown has been againsta very good team. Everygame he’s pitched, we’vebeen in the game. He keepspeople off balance.

“He’s a lefty and has kind

of a herky-jerky motion. Hegets around the strike zoneand trusts the guys behindhim. He doesn’t overpoweranybody. He doesn’t do anyone thing exceptionally. Hejust gets hitters out.”

So does Corey, although ittook him a little longer tostart doing so.

“Corey missed three orfour weeks with a hand inju-ry and we had to put him onthe JV team for kind of a re-hab assignment,”Nemosaid."His first varsity start hegave up one run againstMoeller in six innings. He’snot afraid to take the ball.”

The injury came in a rec-league basketball game,

which made neither Coreynor Nemo happy, but oncethehandwashealed,noprob-lem.

“Coach kind of cameup tome after the Anderson gameand gotme aside and said I’dbe starting against Moeller,”Corey said. “I just hit myspots andwegot a lead.OnceI get one run, once I get alead, I get comfortable and Ijust throw strikes.

“I’mnot scared.Most peo-ple think you’d be nervous tofacethebest teams.I lovethechallenge.”

Ryan maintains he’s thebetter pitcher of the two -with Corey pointing to hisbrother as the question is

posed -but if there’sagapbe-tween them, it’s gettingsmaller.

“I’m not gonna lie. I am,”Ryan said. “But I don’t knowif he’s in much of a shadownow after (The Elder) game.We’re totally different peo-ple, but we’re both pitchers.We have that in common.”

Nemo hopes he can runthe brothers out there a fewmore times.

“We’re playing our bestbaseball late in the year,which is what you want,” hesaid. “I kind of wish we’dhave played our next gameover the weekend instead ofwaiting a week. We want tokeep themomentum up.”

Schaefer also runs cross country for theRockets and is a member of the school’s skiclub. Her self-proclaimed struggles on theslopesmaybeonereasoncoachesdon’tmindher going to Perfect North across the Indi-ana border once a week in the winter withthe club.

“She’s anchored our 4x200 relay all yearand they’ve got the third-best time in thecity,” Rosenbaum said. “She’s in the longjumpdistrict finals.Andactually the last twoweeks I’ve thrown her into the 400 and she’sbeen great there.

“Kids who say they like the 400 are toughkids and you can’t have enough of them intrack, or any sport, really.”

Schaeferwasn’t sureaboutherreputationfor toughness.

“I’m tough enough to last through ourworkouts,” shesaid. “Idon’t reallyknowhowyou define being tough.”

While Schaefer doesn’t consider herselfespecially tough, she definitely considersthe 400 a difficult race.

“It’s the longest minute of my life,” shesaid. “The first thing I think about is gettingthe baton. Then I think think about my posi-tion. I just want to make sure I’m passingpeople, not the one being passed. I’m hopingI can finish strong enough to pass people atthe end.

“I haven’t run the 400 enough to hate it.What I like about it is if you make a mistakeyou canmake up for it. In the sprints, a littlemistakewill cost you the race. In the 400 youhave a little more time.”

Schaefer likes the diversity of her trackand field season.

“I wouldn’t say I really have a favoriteevent, but the relays you work as a team,”she said. “It’s nice thatweall put up the time,thatweallwork together.Track is so individ-ual, but this is a team effort and I like that.

“We’ve been putting in all the hard workand it’s finally showing in the meets.”

The Rockets completed the Division IIdistrict meet May 25, after Journal holidaydeadlines.

“As a teamwe’ve won I think six straightdistrict titles,” Rosenbaum said. “No. 7 is go-ing to be a battle with New Richmond.They’re a very good team. In fact, after thefirst day of districts, they’re 10 points up onus. We have a lot of work to do to catchthem.”

MASON — Ever since Da-vid scored a first-roundknockout against the giantPhilistine, paganism hasbeen in short supply on thesports pages.

Especially for teams atCatholic schools.

And yet...Summit CountryDaywon

the Division III sectionalbaseball titleMay 23 at Pras-co Park, beatingMadeira 5-4in a game that took two daysto complete because of rainand lightning.

The win came thanks inlarge part to a two-out, two-RBIhit to right fieldbysoph-omore Mark Peterson in theseventh inning as the SilverKnights trailed 4-3.

“All year I’ve been hittingline drives right at peopleand the baseball gods finallygaveme one,” Peterson said.“I obviously didn’t hit itgreat, but it got down. I had

hada fewbadatbats; itwasatough game so far, so it was ablast. Helping these seniorsfinallybeatMadeirameansalot to them.”

And to coach Triffon Cal-los.

“We lost to them in thesame game - the sectional fi-nals - last year 3-2 in the bot-tom of the ninth on a throwthat got away,” he said. “I’vebeen telling the kids all yearwe were going to match upwith Madeira again. They’rea great team. It’s great to fi-nally beat them.

“(Peterson) has comethrough for us all year. I’mproud of him. That’s as big ahit as you’re going to see.”

Because of the rains, sen-ior Tommy Crowl was in theunique position to both startand save the game.He threwthree innings of a 1-1 tie be-fore the skies opened.

“I actually did think I wasgoing to start again tonight,”he said. “My pitch count waslow. I went home last night

andwasicingandheatingmyarm, getting ready.”

Instead Christian Kuethetook the ball to begin thefourth inning.

“I wanted the ball, butChristian has been great inrelief for us all year,” Crowlsaid. “He did a great jobagainst a great teamkeepingus in the game.”

After Peterson’s hit,Crowl went to the bullpen towarm up and face the Mus-tangs in the bottom of theseventh.

“It’s exactly what youthink aboutwhenyou’re a lit-tle kid,” he said. “That a biggame is on the line and you

get to go in and finish it. It’sthrilling. Exactly what youdream about.”

Two pop flies and a strike-out look later, it was a mobscene on themound.

“I’ve got some gutsy, de-termined kids,” Callos said.“We lost eight seniors fromlast season and started offslow.Butwe’vewon16 of ourlast 20 and nine in a row. Yousaw it in that seventh inning.It doesn’t matter how fardown we are, we’re going tobattle you.

Summit played Fenwick-game for the district title onMay 27 after Journal dead-lines.

The ‘tail’ of how I met my best friendI’d like to tell you about my

best friend, Zeus. Zeus is a2-year-old Maine Coon cat,whom I adopted from a localanimal shelter – STAF (SaveThe Animals Foundation),located in Fairfax.

Zeus is the third cat I’ve hadand, like his predecessors, he’ssweet, loyal, funny, loving andjust a really good friend. Abest friend, in fact. That maysound strange to those of youwho aren’t “cat people” or even“pet people,” but it’s true.

Before Zeus, I had HusebyandMax, both of whom I ac-quired under strange circum-stances … or what seemedstrange at the time… but look-

ing back it’sclear that itwas not anaccident orcoincidencethat they end-ed up with me– it was ablessing.

I had Huse-by from 2001to 2009 andMax from 2007

to 2012. I miss them dearly, butam so thankful they’re part ofmy life.

I say “part of my life” inpresent tense because petstend to leave little paw printson our hearts which can never

be erased and never fade away,and I strongly believe they arewith us (in spirit) even afterthey’ve gone on.

I knew that once they hadboth crossed the RainbowBridge, I wanted to get mynext cat from a shelter, whenthe time was right. That timecame last September.

Not knowing the process …or even where to begin … Iwent on the recommendationof a very good friend – who is avolunteer at STAF – to checkthem out. I had no idea whatkind of journey I’d just begun,but like most things in life itwas a learning experience anda journey I’m glad I went on.

It’s sort of strange “catshopping,” so to speak. It’s avery emotional process. Thereare so many cats that needhomes, and of course I wantedto take them all.

I met lots of cats and after afew weeks of visiting the shel-ter I got my beloved Zeus. Onthe day I went to officiallyadopt him and bring him homeI was hoping I’d made the rightdecision and chosen the rightcat, as pet adoption is a lifelongcommitment.

I pulled into the STAF park-ing lot and in the bright blueSeptember sky was a big whitecloud in the shape of a pawprint. I couldn’t argue with

that!It was a pretty clear sign

that I had chosen the right cat.And now, eight months later,I’m certain of it.

And, anyway, he chose me.With that I would like to let

you know that June is “Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month” and ifyou’ve been thinking aboutgetting a cat and you haveroom in your home and in yourheart please consider adopting.

Your new best friend – yourpuuuurrfect companion – couldbe waiting for you at your localanimal shelter. Mine was.

Joy Klinger is a resident of Madi-sonville.

Kroger lost goodemployee

I recently read SuzanneHamsath’s guest column,“Where in the World is Ed-ward”?

I never new Edward byname but I certainly had manychats with him at the Krogerfish department in Anderson.Edwardmade an impression onme as probably one of the bestemployees Kroger could havehad on the job and I’m astound-ed to hear he no longer has hisposition with the company.

Edward has always beenvery kind, knowledgeableabout his product, exceptional-ly focused on customer rela-tions ... he just plain takes careof business.

Kroger lost a good employ-ee; I andmany other customersof theAnderson store lost a sortof “store friend.”

Yes Suzanne, it is a fast-pacesociety we live in today as yousuggest. You mention that Ed-ward“takesa little longer togetthere.” It seems to me thatmany people are trying to “getthere” so quickly they neverreally “get it.”

Fromwhat I’ve experiencedfrom doing business and chat-ting with Edward is that he“gets it.”

I look forward to seeing Ed-ward again sometime. Proba-bly as a manager of a compet-itors store!

Joe LoewensteinAnderson Township

Kroger should correctmistake

In response to the column“Where in the world is Ed-ward?,” I am ashamed at thetreatment this courageous indi-vidual had toendure fromsomeheartless Kroger employee(s).

Edwards’ 17 years hardwork and customer servicewere not that important to theBig K – only instant proficien-cy.

Maybe someone in authorityat Kroger will step up uponhearing about this and correctthis travesty. My thoughts andprayers are with Edward andhis mother.

Emmett EyAnderson Township

Shame on KrogerEdward was the reason I

boughtmyseafoodatKroger. IfI didn’t need seafood, I wouldpass by the counter just to hearhimsay, “Will therebeanythingelse Ma’am?” “Thank youMa’am.” It put a smile on myface every time. I’ve neverknown anyone to be so consis-tently polite and kind.

Shame on the person whocaused him such grief. Thereare a lot of things inadequateabout that Kroger, Edwardwasn’t one of them.

Book sale is dedicatedto JeanWagner

The Anderson Communityrecently lost adear friend. JeanWagner was the person who al-most single handedly saw to itthat we got a branch library.

With the help of our lateState Rep. John O’Brien, Jeanrounded up the Ayer AdvisoryCouncil and a few other activ-ists in the area; we convincedthe downtown people to buildthe library at State and FiveMile. It has consistently beenNo. 1 or No. 2 in circulation andprogram attendance.

For 34 years, Jean workedtirelessly for the Anderson Li-brary Committee and its semi-annual used book sales. Thisgroup of volunteers has raisedover a million dollars for theAnderson and Mt. Washingtonbranches. Thanks in large partto Jean’s efforts.

She would pick up donatedbooks fromwhoever called her.She pre-sorted at the libraryonce a week and worked in theoff-site sorting warehouseweekly. She was chair of the“Non-Fiction” section for thesales, the largest category.And, oh, my did she hate tothrow away a book!

She had a quiet way, butcould take strong positions,usually with a wicked sense ofhumor. Her sons and siblings

will miss her – and so will thoseof us who have sorted bookswith her all these years.

We are dedicating the June21-23 Sale to the memory ofMartha Jean Clark Wagner.

Help bring the rightschool plan forward

I’m writing to express mydisappointment at the defeat ofthe bond issue for the ForestHills school building improve-ments.

I am a parent who has onechild inWilson elementary cur-rently and another starting inthe fall. I’m guessing that fewof those who voted against thebond issue have walkedthrough Wilson in recent yearsto see the poor condition of thatparticular building.

The use of trailers outsidethe building as classrooms (dueto lack of space) also speaks tohow inadequate this structureis for the education of our chil-dren.

AlthoughWilson is certainlyin the worst shape, a couple ofthe other elementary schoolsaren’t much better.

The situation with thesebuildings will only get worse(and more expensive) overtime. I understand that no onewants to pay more taxes foranything these days, but thingslike school infrastructure are

important and do require fund-ing.

For those who recognize theneed for improved buildings,but still voted against the bondissuebecauseyoufelt itwas the“wrong plan,” I challenge youto actively work on bringingthe “right plan” forward and dowhat is needed to helpmake it areality.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Last week’s question“Do you think IRS officials tar-

geting conservative groups is aone-time mistake or does a cul-ture of abusing its power existwithin the organization? Why orwhy not?”

“I think people are giving theIRS too much credit for target-ing conservative groups. Theyare generally overworked andunderfunded and do not have alotof spare timetopursuepoliti-cal agendas.

“Groups with certain key-words in their names, like theones allegedly targeted, haveabused the tax system for yearsby claiming to be charitieswhen, infact, theywerepoliticallobbying organizations.

“It ismybelief that theywere‘profiling’ these groups for au-dit for legitimatepurposes.Thiswas likely a well intentioned,but bungled move on their part.

“As a CPA practicing beforethe IRS, I deal with them fre-quently and, for the most part,they are sincere governmentemployees trying to do a diffi-

cult job. When they do theirbest, everyone hates them andwhen they back off, Congressinvestigates them for not catch-ing the tax cheats.”

F.S.D.

“Tough call. I do believethere is politics involved in thedecision to flag these groups.Nevertheless, the IRS is a huge,cumbersome bureaucracy.

“I think ineptitude, uncertainguidelines and direction and the‘snail’s pace’ movement of any

government entity also played apart.

“Don’tgetmewrong,Iamnotan Obama supporter. I think,however, the Republicans canget a lot of mileage out of this(and I don’t blame them). Whenthe shoe’s on the other foot thesame thing happens.”

T.B.

“I got politically active inearly 2009, including participat-ing in Tea Party events, writingletters to the editor and email-ing and calling politicians ofboth parties on matters impor-tant to the Tea Party.

“In late 2009my personal taxreturn for 2007was audited, thefirst and only time I have everbeen audited. My return for2007 contained nothing very un-usual as compared to any otheryear.

“Of course, I can’t prove it,but I absolutely believe that Iwas targeted as a result of mypolitical activities. I have heardcomments fromotherconserva-tives who had similar experi-ences with the IRS.

“By the way, after manyhours of work to answer all theIRS questions I did not owethem anything.”

T.H.

“I think this is just anotherexample of the government’strying to suppress theconserva-tive movement in order to in-sure the success of its socialistagenda items. Strike fear in thehearts of the people and theywill shut up, allowing things asheinousas theThirdReich tooc-cur.

“It’s starting to happen hereandeverything isbeingcouchedin the positive rationale that ‘it’sfor the common good.’ Even theseemingly beneficial reversemortgages are just anotherwayfor the feds to grab up land thatwould otherwise go to the heirsof the elderly people who arejust using this tactic as a way toreduce their living costs.

“When the governmentstarts overstepping its legalbounds, legislatingeveryaspectof our lives and the choices weused tobe free tomakeweknow

that tyranny has arrived. Bothpolitical parties are guilty ofthis.

“It’s time to reclaim our Con-stitutionandgetback to thehon-or and dignity that this countryonce had.We need a new, strongthird party filled with uncor-rupted politicians who can stopthe insanity before we find our-selves living in the USSR (Unit-ed States Socialist Republic). Itdidn’twork in the originalUSSRand it won’t work here, at leastnot while older Americans whoremember our God-given free-doms are still alive.

“Unfortunately, our systemofeducation ispromotingtheso-cialist, liberal agenda and theyounger generation thinks thatthis is the way to go. I miss the‘old’ America ... a country inwhich people worked hard for aliving andwould rather die thanto live off of the sweat of anoth-er person’s brow.

“Liberal, social policies de-stroy this desire to work hardand they also destroy morality,ethics, and common decency.”

C.H.

When I put in requestsfor recipes, I usually justput them in once, maybetwice. If I don’t get aresponse from you orhave nothing in my files,I go on to the next re-

quest. Butthis onefromMarkBurnhimerhastouchedmy heartin a waythat I amasking,once again,if any ofyou can

help.Mark told me: “After a

minor health issue, mycaregiver had sharedwith me that he and hiswife really missed Zino’sand that he would beeternally happy if some-one had some of the oldrestaurant recipes, in-cluding the Zino Burger.Have you got anythingthat might resemble thatin your file? I’d like topay back someone for theexcellent care I receivedwhile I was not at mybest.” Mark has con-tinued to follow up, ask-ing if I’ve received any-thing. So if any of youcan come even close, orcan get the recipe, do letme know.

Kit Whiteman’s cornbread

“I’m such a fan andread your recipes everyweek. Here’s my recipefor corn bread. So quickand easy and tastes good,

too,” Kit said. She’s righton all three counts.

1box Jiffy Yellow Cakemix1box Jiffy Corn Breadmix

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Follow packagedirections for each box.Place all ingredients inone bowl and blend. Pourinto a greased 8-inchround or square pan andbake 25 minutes, untilgolden brown.

Buffet broccoli saladBroccoli was on sale at

the grocery and I had a

craving for this salad. It’snot low fat or low sugar,but it’s always the first togo on the buffet table.

SaladMix together:

1 large head of broccoli, cutinto florets (if stems aretender, use them, too,sliced thinly)

Generous 1⁄2 cup chopped redonion

2 cups shredded cheddarcheese

1⁄2 pound bacon, cut up andsautéed

DressingWhisk together:

1 cupmayonnaise1⁄2 cup sugar1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar ormore to taste (I usuallyaddmore)

Pour dressing oversalad ingredients. Tosswell. When serving, digdeep so that you get allthe goodies that tend tofall to the bottom.

Tonya Fischer’sdetox bath

After I shared recipesfor natural scrubs, etc., Ihad more requests fornatural bath soaks, espe-cially ones using Epsomsalts. I met Tonya duringa presentation I did atMacy’s corporate officeson healthy living. Sheworks with ExecutiveChef Rick Toennis. Rickand Tonya believe, as Ido, in Mother Nature’shealing powers. She toldme about a soothing de-tox bath she enjoys, and I

asked her to share therecipe.

“When I’m not feelingso good or after a longday at work or workout, Isoak in this bath,” Tonyatold me.

I’m going to make thismyself and soothe thesore muscles I now haveafter our car got hit witha 200-pound deer.1⁄3 cup Epsom salt1⁄3 cup sea salt1⁄3 cup baking soda1 tablespoonpowdered/ground ginger

1 cup apple cider vinegar10-20 drops Eucalyptusspearmint oil, or justEucalyptus oil

Draw a bath with wa-ter as hot as you stand it.As tub fills, add all ingre-dients. Water will turnyellow/orange but don’tworry. Soak for about 40minutes. While soaking,drink 24 oz. ice water. Ifyou want, rub skin gently(always toward yourheart) to stimulate lym-phatic system and helpclean out toxins. Dry offand drink another 24 oz.water as soon as possible,then relax.

Tips from TonyaEpsom salt: Makes

you sweat, reduces in-flammation, relievesmuscle aches.

Sea salt: Helps leachout toxins, soothes opensores or blemishes.

Baking soda: Bal-ances an overly acidicsystem, softens water,skin and helps eliminatechlorine.

Ginger: Increasescirculation, opens pores,makes you sweat.

Vinegar: Restoresacid-alkaline balance,softens skin, helpful foracne.

Massage oil: Relaxesbody and senses.

BUSINESS NOTES

U.S. Army Maj. JohnArbino knows how an ex-plosion, crash, gunshot,sickness or emotionaltrauma can push a mili-tary service member to aplaceofunfamiliarity - thesidelines. And through thehealing process, paralym-pic sport gives many sur-vivors the chance to proveanyone can overcome dis-ability.

Arbino, son of John Ar-bino of Anderson Town-ship and Gail Cassini ofAmelia, competed for theArmy team during the2013WarriorGames at theU.S. Olympic TrainingCenter and at the AirForce Academy in Colora-doSprings,Colo.,May11toMay17.

Throughout the seven-day event, wounded, illand injured service mem-

bers and veterans fromthe Army, Marines, AirForce, Navy and CoastGuard, as well as somefrom Special OperationsCommand, and a teamfrom the British militarycompeted in track andfield, shooting, swimming,cycling, archery, wheel-chair basketball and sit-ting volleyball events.

Arbino competed forthe gold in shooting andtrack.

“It is an honor to repre-sent the Army team thisyear.While this ismy firstyear competing, I couldnot be more impressedwith the training and com-petitiveness of the Armyteam,”said the1986gradu-ate of Turpin High School.Hewent on to earn a bach-elor’s degree in 1996 fromthe University of Cincin-nati.

In January 2009, Arbi-no woke up unable to

move. He was diagnosedwith secondary progres-sive multiple sclerosis, orMS.

“The most challengingpart has been coming toterms with an unpredict-able neurological condi-tion that doesn’t have acure,” he said.

Arbino said participat-ing in adaptive sports liketheWarrior Games has al-lowed him to become ac-tive again.

“The Warrior Gameshave been instrumental inme finally finding away toget ahead of MS. Once Iwas given a wheelchair, Ithought I was done. I hadno ideawhat to dowithmynew perceived limita-tions,”hesaid. “Participat-ing in the Warrior Gamesintroduced me to theworld of adaptive sports,andmy lifehasn’t been thesame.”

Arbino encourages

newly wounded warriorswhomay not feel comfort-able to leave their house totake those baby steps andtryoutfortheteamcamps.

“I strongly recommendfor any wounded warriorto try adaptive sports.There is something for al-most any injury or disabil-ity,” he said. “These pro-grams have provided uswith the equipment, train-ing and supplies to be suc-cessful in redefining our-selves throughourdisabil-ities.”

Arbino said his familyhas helped him in his re-covery.

“My family, especiallymy wife, Eveline, has pro-vided a vested interest bysupporting the time Ispend away from home toattend trainingandassess-ment clinics,” he said. “Icouldn’t compete withouttheir support.”

Army Maj. John Arbino competed in shooting and track forthe 2013 Warrior Games. Throughout the seven-day event,wounded, ill and injured service members and veteransfrom the Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard andSpecial Operations Command competed for the gold intrack and field, shooting, swimming, cycling, archery,wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball.
