Judges question mine decisionsIs the good neighbor fee a tax?

Is that feeeven legal?Can theAn-derson Township Board of Zon-ing Appeals allow a company tostore explosives on its property,even if the zoning code prohibitsit? If one or two conditions are il-legal, should the entire mine ap-proval be invalid?

The answers to those ques-tions depend on which side youask, but thosewere the issues thethree-judge panel of the Hamil-tonCountyFirstDistrict Court ofAppeals focused on during anAug. 22 hearing about a contro-versial mine proposal in Ander-son Township, near the corner ofBroadwell and Round Bottomroads.

BackgroundMartin Marietta Materials

wants to operate an undergroundlimestone mine in northeasternAnderson Township. The area iszoned for industrial uses withpockets of residential and recre-ational areas.

After almost two years ofhearings, theAndersonTownshipBoard of Zoning Appeals, with a3-2 vote in June 2010, approved aspecial zoning certificate for theproposed mine and processingplant, as well as a variance tostore explosives on site. Theboard attached 25 conditions toits 16-page decision favoring themine’s approval.

Nearby township residentsand the neighboring communi-ties of Newtown, Terrace Parkand Indian Hill opposed to themine appealed the zoning board’sdecision to the Hamilton CountyCourt of Common Pleas.

In 2011, aftermore than a yearof legal briefs and arguments,Judge Robert Ruehlman over-turned the Board of Zoning Ap-peals decision to approve themine and called it “replete with

examples of illegal acts.”Martin Marietta appealed

Ruehlman’s ruling to the Hamil-tonCountyFirstDistrict Court ofAppeals. Anderson Township,which was part of the case inCommonPleas Court, objected tothe ruling, but did not appeal thedecision to the higher court.

“Good NeighborAgreement”

One condition of the Board ofZoning Appeals’ decision wasthat Martin Marietta would paythe township 5 cents per ton ofmaterial sold and delivered fromtheminesiteandkeepa$1millionbond. It was intended to help de-fraycostsofadditional zoningen-forcement or increased costs toprovide public services.

»What the judges asked:Judge J. Howard Sundermannasked if the Board of Zoning Ap-peals (BZA) has the authority topropose such a fee and if it couldbe considered a tax. Judge Penel-ope Cunningham asked where inthe township’s zoning resolutionit says theboardcould impose thefee.

“You’re giving us what seemslike policy reasons for the goodneighbor fee, and I’mnot hearingany authority that the zoningboard can impose it,” Sunder-mann said to Martin Marietta’sattorneys during arguments.

»What Martin Marietta ar-gued: Attorney Richard Brahmsaid the ability to propose a fee isinferred by the overall powers ofthe Board of Zoning Appeals todetermine conditions for use.The board can propose it, but en-forcement of that provision is adifferent issue, and the legal au-thority to contract for that feelies with the township trustees,he said.

Brahm argued that it shouldnot be considered a taxbecause itwas not demanded and MartinMarietta voluntarily agreed to it.

Attorney C. Francis Barrett

said the company is not challeng-ing the fee, but questions wheth-er other parties can challenge it.

“If Martin Marietta agreed tothat and it’s their own volitionthen I don’t believe a third partyhas the right to challenge that,”Barrett said.

»What the other side ar-gued: Doug Miller, solicitor forthe village of Newtown, cited arecent Ohio Supreme Court caseand said the fee should be consid-ereda taxbecause itdoesnotben-efit the actual person or entity onwhich it’s imposed, and it is notspecified how the money wouldbe used.

“It is to reduce the burden toAnderson Township, (but) has nospecific benefit to this property,”he said.

“It’svery troubling to thecom-munities because it smacks of,‘Well, if youpayusenoughmoney

NEWTOWN — Village officialsprobably didn’t expect to still beworking on the annexation ofproperty along Wooster Pike atthis point in the year, but that isthe case in Newtown.

Thevillage is continuing its ef-forts to annex 233 acres of land inColumbia and Anderson town-ships.

Discussionsabout the annex-ation date back toMay 2010 and areongoing.

The 233 acresof property thevillage wants toannex include theHamilton County

Park District's Little Miami GolfCenter and Bass Island Park onthe south side of the Little Miami

River in Anderson Township andHahana Beach, 7605 WoosterPike, and the former HeritageRestaurant, 7664 Wooster Pike,on the north side of the river inColumbia Township.

Mayor Curt Cosby said the vil-lage isworkingcloselywithHam-ilton County to ensure the secondannexation proposal is approved.

He said the process continues,though moving the proposal for-ward depends on one proponent.

“It’s all about the survey,” Cos-by said.

When Hamilton County com-missioners rejected Newtown’sannexation proposal in March,one factor was incomplete draw-ings on the application.

Columbia Township officialscontinue to oppose themaneuver.

Township Administrator Mi-chael Lemon said the annexationis a “lose-lose proposition” for allparties involved,notingthatNew-

town is spending more on the an-nexation than it will make fromthe new income tax funds formanyyears, andthe townshipwillbe more susceptible to more an-nexation in the future if New-town’s proposal is approved.

“It’s in the best interest of thetownship to fight this annex-ation,” Lemon said.

Newtown has so far spent$71,146 of taxpayers’ money onannexation efforts.

Storing explosivesTheBoardofZoningAp-

peals grantedMartinMari-etta permission to store ex-plosives used in theminingoperation on their 480-acreproperty so it couldbeusedto extract limestone 400 to800 feet underground. Ifthat variance was notgranted Martin Mariettacould truck in the explo-sives daily.

»What the judgesasked: Judge Sylvia SieveHendon said she was con-cerned about the provisionto allow storage of explo-sivesonsite.Hendonsaid itseemed from the attor-neys’ briefs that, “it almost

sounds likeyoucansee thatthe BZA didn’t have the au-thority to give the use vari-ance.”

»What Martin Mariet-ta argued: Brahm saidstoring explosives is notthe principal use of theproperty, and it is inciden-tal to the mining process.Barrett argued that eventhough storing explosivesis a prohibited use in the in-dustrial district, the Boardof Zoning Appeals has theauthority to grant a varia-nce otherwise that powerwould not exist.

»What the other sideargued: Robert Malloy, so-licitorfor thevillageofTer-raceParkwhoisalsorepre-sentingIndianHill, said thetownship zoning resolutionexcludes any language al-lowing exceptions to stor-ing explosives.

Attorney Tim Mara,who represents Anderson

Township residents andbusiness owners, arguedthat the explosives are anintegral part of the miningprocess and said he doesnot see how it can be char-acterized as incidental.

Conditionalapproval

In the conditions of ap-proval, theBoardofZoningAppeals said that becauseeach condition is interre-lated to others and neces-sary to ensure compliancethat, “if any one or moreconditions in this resolu-tion is … declared invalid,void or ineffective for anyreason, this entire resolu-tion granting … approvalshall be null and void andthe matter remanded backto the BZA for further con-sideration.”

»What the judgesasked: Hendon said it ap-pears that two conditionsof the resolutionmay be vi-olating the law. “When youlook at this issue of thegood neighbor fee and youlookat the storageof explo-sives, it almost sounds asthough you can see thoseare improper, and at thatpoint … doesn’t the entirething become invalid?” sheasked.

Trial court’s decisionAll transcripts from the

dozens of zoning hearingswere transferred to theCourt of Common Pleas for

review in this appeals case.Ruehlman said in his deci-sion the Board of ZoningAppeals errors includedaccepting a good neighborfee, allowing explosive tobe stored on site, and per-mitting tunnel access un-der a residential district.

»What the judgesasked: Sundermann saidthe larger issue is that thetrial court sets its standardfor appeal “then it seemsthe court goes on to makeits own evidentiary find-ings.”He asked if the courtwent outside its ability toreview certain matters inthe appeals case.

»What Martin Mariet-ta argued: Brahm saidRuehlman’s entry wasdrafted by opposing coun-sel without any input fromMartin Marietta, and thecourt did not give due def-erence to the interpreta-tion of the township’s zon-ing resolution by theBoardof Zoning Appeals.

»What the other sideargued: Malloy said it wasclear the trial court judgeread the entire transcriptand found the boardamended the zoning codewithout any authority to doso.

Decision?Attorneys in the case

said a decision on this ap-peal is not expected until atleast October.

The bell is in recogni-tion of Patrick Fox andMeagan Toothman. Thebell was donated by theOakley family and hasbeen placed near theschoolathleticfield.Melis-sa Oakley is Toothman’smother.

A brief dedication willprecede the Turpin HighSchool football game Fri-day, Sept. 7, at 7 p.m.

Eric Fry, athletic direc-tor forTurpinHighSchool,said this bell is away to re-member Fox and Tooth-man.

“They both left theirlegacy here at Turpin,” hesaid. “It is awaywecan re-member them every timewe ring the bell.”

Fox, who died in 2011from a heart condition,was a football coach andsubstitute teacher at theschool.

Toothman, who died in2011 from injuries sus-tained when a stage col-lapsed at the Indiana State

Fair, was a cheerleadingcoach at Turpin.

“Meagan and Pat lovedTurpin andwerededicatedto the students with whomtheyworked,” saidOakley,who spoke at the AugustForest Hills Board of Edu-cation meeting.

Oakley said the bellrepresents “what a truechampion is in how theylive their lives reflectingthe hard work necessaryto achieve their goals, pro-viding service to others(and) making the world abetter place.”

A bell honoring former Turpin High School coaches Meagan Toothman and Patrick Foxhas been donated to the school. The bell will be located near the athletic field.

Cincinnati Bell wants alittle piece of Juilfs Park.

The company recentlyasked the Anderson Town-ship Park District for aneasement near the front ofthe park to install a smallcabinet for the planned ex-pansion of its fiber-opticnetwork in the area.

Park commissioners au-thorized Executive Direc-tor Ken Kushner to negoti-ate with Cincinnati Bell forthe easement.

The new cabinet wouldbe located behind an exist-ing utility box that sitsroughly 60 yards west ofthe park’s entrance, 8249Clough Pike, and would be

between the sidewalk andthe fence, Kushner said.

“It’s a new service andthey need more space,” hesaid. “As far as I know,they’re not burying lines ormoving them off poles.

The entire easementis15 feet by 8 feet, Kushnersaid, and the box should besomewhat hidden after it’sinstalled.

Negotiations with Cin-cinnatiBellwould likely in-clude some compensationandrequire legaldocumen-tation to record the ease-ment, he said.

According to CincinnatiBell’swebsite, the fiber-op-tics network includes digi-tal television, broadbandInternet and home phoneservice. It’s available in

some parts of AndersonTownship, but not all areas.

Newtown recently ap-proved a similar easementagreement for the village’sMini Park, near the inter-section of state Route 32and Church Street.

ANDERSON TOWNSHIP—Record lottery salesmaynot necessarily mean aboon for local school dis-tricts.

During a recent meet-ing of the Forest HillsBoard of Education, Super-intendent Dallas Jacksoncommented that althoughOhio lottery sales and prof-its go toward education,record profits don’t mean

the districtwill receiveadditionalfundingfrom thestate.

“Schooldistrictswill not see(an) auto-

matic increase in funds,”he said.

Jackson discussed in-formation from a state-ment released by the OhioSchool Boards Association,

theBuckeyeAssociation ofSchool Administrators andthe Ohio Association ofSchool Business Officials.

The release, which wastitled “Setting the recordstraight on lottery profits,”emphasized that eventhough the Ohio LotteryCommission had a recordsales year no increase instate funding as a result ofthese profits should be ex-pected.

“The record profits donot mean a windfall for

schools,” said Jackson.“The balance stays thesame.”

Board President ForestHeis agreed. “Wedonot an-ticipate seeing more (statefunding) from this,” hesaid.

Danielle Frizzi-Babb, aspokeswoman for the OhioLottery Commission, said100 percent of the lotteryprofits go to the LotteryProfits Education Fund.

The state then deter-mines how these funds are

distributed.Frizzi-Babb said $771

million was contributed tothe fund this year. Howev-er, she said the LotteryProfits Education Fundonly accounts for about 4percent of the “schoolfunding pie in Ohio.”

Barbara Shaner, asso-ciate executive director ofthe Ohio Association ofSchool Business Officials,said lottery profits don’tchange the amount of ap-propriations set by the

state.“I don’t think they have

ever changed the appropri-ations based on what thelottery did,” she said.

Every two years thestate legislature deter-mines how much fundingwill be appropriated toschool districts throughoutthe state.

Shaner the lottery fundis just a portion of these ap-propriations which also in-clude state revenue, feder-al funding and grants.

Lottery profits not necessarily windfall for schools

Childrenwhohave adultrole models in their lives,both parents and others,who model responsible be-havior are richer from theexperience and can countone more asset to theircredit.

So is the case of a groupof Mercer ElementarySchool students who wereamong the first group atthe school to participate inWhiz Kids.

This literacy-based,one-to-one tutoring andmentoring program is co-ordinated in Cincinnati byCity Gospel Ministry withthe help of partnershipswith local churches and el-ementary schools.

Mercer Assistant Prin-cipalChristopherFlanagansaid that there was a suc-cessfulWhizKids programin place at Finneytownwhile he was there.

He was thrilled whenthe pastor of St. Timothy’sParish, Roger Greene, ex-pressed an interest in pro-viding such a program atMercer.

“While at Finneytown Isaw firsthand how excitedthestudentswereabout theprogram and how the con-nections that they buildwith their tutors are great.I alsosawacademicgrowthas a result,” Flanagan said.

The same has been trueat Mercer as well, accord-ing to teacherErinEnglish.“We started the programsmall with students fromgrades 1-3 selecting twokids from each class spe-cifically looking at stu-dents who were in need ofextra reading support andthose who could benefitfrom having an additionaladult role model,” she said.

The program was con-ducted after school, onceper week, this school year.The afternoon would beginwith the Whiz Kids report-ing to English’s room forsome afternoon activities.

At 4 p.m. a team ofMer-cer teachers and a MilfordHigh School student

served as activity leadersfor the children. The activ-ity leaders and students en-joyedavariety of activitiesthat included: playingboard games, solving puz-zles or going outside.

Besides just having funand takingabreakbetweenschool and tutoring, onebiggoal of the activities wasfor the teachers to build re-lationships with the stu-dents. “The children nowhave a special friend hereat Mercer - their activityleader,” English said.

After activities, the stu-dents enjoyed a dinnerbreak, courtesy of St.Timothy’s. Finally, the lasthour of the day, the stu-dents would spend time

with their tutors from St.Timothy’s.

An activities bus fundedby St. Timothy’s transport-ed some of the childrenhome at the end of the tu-toring session while otherswere transported home bya parent.

“This very much touch-es on the 40DevelopmentalAssets in having more car-ing adults and communityinvolved in the students’lives,” English said.

For the students, the en-tire Whiz Kids experiencewas positive.

“It’s always nice,” ac-cording to second-graderDrew Kendrick. “You readgood books; some are fun-ny. It’s a lot of fun.Youget anewfriendandyougethelpwith reading.”

“I love it a lot,” said sec-ond-grader Emily Styers.“Weget to read funbooks. Ialso made and ate asmoothie with my tutor.The fun part is being withmy tutor and having funwith her.”

“It’s fun reading withother people and getting todo activities,” said third-grader Brittani West. “Myfavorite part iswhen I readwith my tutor. My tutor isreally nice. I went to the‘Wizard of Oz’ with her.”

ANDERSON TOWNSHIP — For Tur-pinHigh School senior ShelbyOlssona recent trip toCostaRicawasa once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“It made me realize I can be im-mersed in another culture,” she said.“It was eye opening.”

Olsson, along with other studentsand teachers in the school’s Spanishprogram, traveled to Costa Rica inJune.

Spanish teacher John English hasbeen organizing trips to other coun-tries for more than a decade. Stu-dents have visited locations such asSpain and Europe, although Costa Ri-ca has been the most frequent desti-nation.

“It’s an educational and culturalexperience,” said English, who hastaught Spanish at TurpinHigh Schoolfor 23 years.

“It’s what we teach extended out-side of the classroom.”

As in previous years a highlighthas been visiting a local school in theregion,where theTurpin students notonly interact with youngsters at theschool but also drop off supplies.

“We watched them dance, triedsome of their food and played soccer

with them,” said senior Megan Feh-renbach.

The Turpin students also donated$500 to the school.

Other activities includehiking, ziplining and visiting a waterfall.

Senior Leah Stuckey said she ben-efited from the experience. “It helpslistening to them speak the lan-guage,” she said.

Spanish teacherChristineBlanton

accompanied the students. “Seeingthemexperience the culture iswhat Ienjoyed most,” she said.

English said the trips will con-tinue. “A good portion of the studentshave never traveled outside of theUnited States,” he said. “This in-creases the possibility of (their)studying or working abroad.

“Every year I get students sayingit opened up doors.”

ANDERSON TWP. — Despitedropping two of their first threematches, the Anderson HighSchool boys soccer teamwill tryand right the ship for the rest ofthe season.

After winning their seasonopener against Withrow, theRedskinsdropped theirnext twotoMcNick andWalnut Hills by acombined score of 16-2.

But the season is still young,and head coach Andy Deimlingbelieves his roster can measuresuccess this fall by how they re-spond moving forward.

“I personally believe we canmeasure success by how wecome back from those badlosses,” Deimling said.

Deimling knows that hardergames are coming, but his ros-ter, which features many play-ers who competed on the juniorvarsity squad lastyear,will haveto step up.

Anderson will have to stopother teams from scoring toachieve their goal. If they can,Deiming is confident his offensecan take care of the rest.

“I’m a person who believesyou can’t lose games if you don’tgive up goals…and goals willcome for us…stopping the otherteam iswhere our focusneeds tobe.”

TheRedskins’ roster consistsof12 seniors,whoare skilledandstrong on the ball, according toDeimling.

Somekey seniors towatch in-clude right midfielder JustinHarris, forward Jimmy Como-deca, center back Josh Harm.Junior Mark Luke, who had

scored two goals through Aug.29, should also be an impactplayer.

While Anderson has a dozenseniors, Deimling said many ofthose players are new to the var-sity level, and they are still ad-justing to the speed of the com-petition.

“It usually takes the first fewweeks of actual game time (toadjust,” he said. “(Walnut Hills)was our first ECC game. Wedidn’t play fast enough to com-pete with them, unfortunately.”

But the loss could serve as aneye-opener.

“They figured out they have

to play faster and that will givethem a good core understandingofwhat they have to do to play inthe Eastern Cincinnati Confer-ence,” Deimling said.

Deimling added that the pro-gramhas a solid group of young-er players who will contributesignificantly over the next fewseasons.

“We’ve got a great freshmanclass that will help tremendous-ly, and sophomores and juniorsare agoodgroup that can takeusa long way if they play to theirpotential,” he said. “Overall, wehave a fantastic group of boysthat can really help us succeed.”

EAST WALNUT HILLS— For the past two sea-sons, the St. Ursula Acad-emy field hockey teamhad its season end in Co-lumbus.

Last year’s squad ad-vanced to the state finalfour, while the 2010 ver-sion of the Bulldogs wonthe whole enchilada.

This fall, head coachSarah Catlin has a groupof girls who believe theBulldogs’ season couldagain end two hoursnorth on Interstate 71.

“I think they’ve set thebar high for themselvesagain. I think they haveevery intention of mak-ing another run at Colum-bus, which I think is anappropriate goal for theirtalents,” Catlin said.

Catlin returns just ahandful of starters fromlast year’s team, but shereturns girls who playedmeaningful minutes in2011.

Center back MarissaLuft of Hamilton, whohas committed to play atBall State University, isentering her third seasonstarting varsity. She’ll bejoined in the starting line-up by goalieMaddie Reil-ly of Blue Ash.

Other key contrib-utors on the front lineshould include senior El-lie Bayer and MaggieWinstel of ColumbiaTownship, while LaurenHuber of Anderson, Mol-ly Nugent of Hyde Park

and Ellen Cook of Fairfaxplay the middle line. Ondefense, Erica Floyd ofColumbia Townshipshould help in the back-field, while MackenzieHimmelbauer backs upReilly in the cage.

While the team hasstate ambitions, Catlinknows the Bulldogsstrive to find effectivelineups.

“It’s not a rebuildingyear, because there is tal-ent. But it’s not going tobe a smooth easy ride,”Catlin said.

Catlin added that theprogram’s recent suc-cess, which many of thegirls on the team werearound to witness, hasher girls optimistic theycan right the ship.

“I think this group rec-ognizes they can makemistakes and learn fromthem to be better,” Catlinsaid.

St. Ursula’s depthcould set it apart this fall.The squad doesn’t haveone girl taking on thescoring duties. Instead,goals could come frommultiple players, accord-ing to Catlin.

“There’s six or sevenplayer I think will con-tribute offensively,” Cat-lin said. “(Opposingteams) can’t mark oneplayer and shut themdown.”

SUA sets sightson ColumbusBy Nick [email protected] PARK — If the

Summit Country Day fieldhockey squad flies underthe radar, that will be OKby head coach Jen Willisand the rest of the SilverKnights.

Summit boats a youth-ful squad that will use theregular season to fine-tuneits skill with the hopes ofputting everything togeth-er later in the fall.

“We’re trying to get bet-terandbetterandwe’rego-ing to try to see if we canknocka teamor twooff. It’sfun togo inas theunderdogand see what we can makehappen,” Willis said.

On the attack, the SilverKnights should possess alotofdepth,with thereturnof Liz Nourse of AndersonTownship, Carrie Melsonof Blue Ash, ChristinaMoneta of Anderson Town-ship and senior AlyssaHussong of Delhi Town-ship.

Willis has been im-pressed with how the of-fense has looked duringthe preseason.

“I think those attackersare coming into their ownand getting a nose for thegoal,” Willis said. “All ofthosegirlswill beplaying alot of minutes on the frontline, looking to get somegoals in…”

At midfield, Maria andKatie will be charged withadvancing theball to theat-tack line.

Willis said both playerstrained throughout thespring and have started todevelop a real knack for

the game.“They’re going to be

really important playersthis year…(Midfield) is go-ing to be an importantplace for us. To get counterattack going,” Willis said.

The duo, along with ju-niorRebeccaStrombergof

Columbia Township, willcaptain the squad this sea-son.

Stromberg will play de-fense and serve as a fieldgeneral operating out ofthe backfield. She’ll alsotake free hits, which willset the pace and direction

of matches, according toWillis.

Stromberg will alsoplay a critical role in thedefense of the goal, whichwill be manned by sopho-more Caroline Currie ofCheviot.

Currie is another playerwho’s dedicated herself tothe sport through offsea-son training, according toWillis.

“She’s a really good ath-lete and one of the most fitplayers on the team,” Wil-lis said. “She improves ev-ery single day, which is sofun to watch and workwith. She’s coming into herown as a leader, which isimportant for us.”

A publication of

Our eyes were big as saucers,our hearts pounding with excite-ment as we took the field. Eventhe passage of 58 years neitherdims nor dulls the experience ofa dozen 15-year-old kids playingat a big league ballpark.

The Reds were away on aroad trip, allowing Crosley Fieldto be our playground for the1954 Class A Knothole Leaguepostseason playoffs. It lookedlike a country mile out to theterraces guarding the walls inleft, center, and right – and yetthe large white clock atop thescoreboard looked close enoughto touch.

Eagerness and excitementevolved into concentrated effortas the game began, a quarterfi-nal matchup with Mt. Lookoutfor our MAC Cubs team (MACfor Mt. Washington-Anderson-California).

As the catcher, I was literally“uncaged” for the first time allseason, the absence of a batting

cage making passed balls andpop-ups potential nightmares Ihad never had to deal with be-fore.

When abatter walkedon a ball-fourpitch thatskipped pastme, I found outjust how far itwas to thebackstop – ahike and a half!In fact, therunner roundedfirst and head-ed for second

while I was retrieving the ball;but I nailed him with a rifle shotas he slid into second.

Bill McKechnie took thatthrow and applied the tag. Bill’sdad was the Reds’ general man-ager of that mid-50s era, and hisgrandfather, of course, had beenthe Reds’ Hall-of-Fame managerwho took the team to two pen-

nants and a World Series cham-pionship in 1939 and ’40.

Sadly, Bill’s gone now, a reali-ty brought home to me recentlywhen I received a call from ourMAC Cubs manger, Tom Evans,telling me he had just attendedthe memorial service for DaveCelesti, one of our outfielders.

In fact, three-fourths of ourinfield – Harry Wireman atthird, Bill at second, ColinHornsby at first – have passedon, motivating me to try to re-capture the thrill of playing atCrosley Field nearly six decadesago.

The biggest adjustment wasfor our pitcher, Ralph Ward,coming off a big-league moundon his delivery. Ralph, a powerpitcher to begin with, quicklymastered the mound, the extraleverage making him virtuallyunhittable.

He spun a pair of one-hittersin our two appearances at Cros-ley – though I well remember

our deer-like center fielder, CarlCole, racing back to the terraceto retrieve that single hit in ourcity championship victory overDeer Park.

The final out was a toweringpop-up behind home plate, avertical drive I staggered backand forth under for an eternitybefore the ball finally descend-ed, tightly wedging itself be-tween mymitt and my bare,outstretched hand. Hey, a catchis a catch, and our team raced tothe pitcher’s mound to celebrate.

That peak pinnacle of emo-tion contrasts with the soberingsadness I experienced whilesprinkling Bill McKechnie’sashes into the Suwannee Riverdown here in Florida severalyears ago. Bill’s best memorywas his biggest hit, a bases-clearing triple that turned a 10-9deficit into a 12-10 MAC Cubsvictory for the national Knotholetitle, completing a perfect 29-0season.

Special recognition also goesto our fine coaches, Tom Evansand JimWard; another ball-hawking outfielder, Al Meyer;our sure-handed shortstop, DonWeaver; and fellow teammem-bers Orson Hornsby, TommyFarrell, and Cliff Hausman(deceased), as well as the play-ers previously mentioned.

Both of our coaches wereAnderson High School gradu-ates, and all the players attend-ed either Anderson or McNicho-las high school.

Every kid comes to the ballfield with a dream of playing ina big league park. No, none of usmade it to the major leagues,but, for a fewmagical momentsback in the summer of 1954, wewere living out our dream atCrosley Field.

Those memories will last alifetime.

There are now over 500,000known asteroids in our solarsystem. 500,000 irregularshaped chunks of rock and dust

circle our sun,mainly be-tween the or-bits of Marsand Jupiter.However, as-teroids are sosmall thatastronomershave only gath-ered close-uppictures of ahandful ofthem.

Last year, NASA’s unmannedDawn spacecraft entered into an

orbit around an Ohio-sized aster-oid named Vesta. Vesta has thedistinction for being the bright-est asteroid seen from Earth. Ifyou have amazing eyesight youcan maybe see it with the nakedeye when it’s closest to Earth.

Dawn has captured someamazingly close-up views ofVesta. Craters and ridges linethis lumpy, nearly round aster-oid. At its closest, Dawn wasskimming only 130 miles aboveVesta’s surface and completingan orbit every 4.3 hours. Theprecision of launching from amoving Earth to a moving, ob-long asteroid was like hitting arotating bull’s eye millions ofmiles away.

Near Earth

Amanned mission to an as-teroid could be a lot easier thangoing to Mars. Asteroids are notall between Mars and Jupiter’sorbit. Some, called Near EarthAsteroids (NEAs), present in-triguing targets for futuremanned missions. Travel time toan NEA would be less than goingto Mars, and with a much small-er mass, it would be easier tolaunch back off an asteroid toEarth than off of the red planet.

Take asteroid Eros for ex-ample. It is oddly shaped (like apotato 21miles long, 8 mileswide, and 8 miles thick). Thegray surface is dotted with cra-

ters from ancient impacts. Erosrotates every five hours andrevolves around the Sun in 1.76years. Although Eros has beenas close as 14 million miles fromEarth, it is no threat to hit us.

Eros does have gravity – veryweak gravity. A person weighing200 pounds on Earth would onlyweigh 2 ounces on Eros. A bas-ketball player with a 36-inchvertical leap could jump 1mileoff the surface.

What’s next for DawnThis month the Dawnmission

will wrap up its exploration ofVesta. It is slowly backing offthe surface into longer and long-er orbits until it will head to its

next destination: Ceres. Ceres isthe largest asteroid at just under600 miles in diameter. That’sstill only about¼ the diameterof our moon.

Ceres is too small and toodistant to image cleanly fromground-based telescopes. Eventhe Hubble telescope has trou-ble resolving many surfacefeatures. The Dawnmission willhopefully reveal as many sur-prises and interesting forma-tions on Ceres that it did onVesta.

Last week’s questionAre you concerned about the

rising West Nile virus exposuresthis year? Are you taking precau-tions?

“Yes, I am. Not only for me,but for allmy family and friends.

“Unfortunately, it seems tome precautionary measures aredifficult to implement for somany reasons. We can't go out-side in suits like beekeepers use,and we can't control what neigh-bors andnature dowith regard tostanding water which encour-ages mosquito proliferation. Wecan put on insect repellent and ifwesit out in theopenwecanuseaspray on the surrounding area.But we can't stay indoors all thetime.

“Fortunately, we have ascreened-in patio behind ourhouse and we can socialize therewithout too much risk. This is ascary problem, but preventivemeasures are not as easy as theyare with other risks in life.”

Bill B.

“Rising West Nile virus expo-sure is just one of hundreds ofnegative impacts the CDC pre-dicted for our failure to addressclimate changewhenDr. Epsteinstarted writing about it about adecade ago. It's too late to stop it,but it's not too late to prevent theworst possible outcomes. Butwe're running out of time.”

N.F.

“I'm only concerned aboutWest Nile for my two-and-a-half

year old son.He is easymosquitobait from about April till Octo-ber. Many repellents are over-priced, smell awful, or just don'twork on him

T.Rog.

“Always concerned about vi-ruses in one way or another. Myprecautionarymethodsarekeep-ing insect repellent on if I amout-side in vegetation areas,workingin the garden, or in recreational

areas where mosquito's areprone. I also tip over any smallcontainers with water to emptythem layingaround, orkick somedirt over small areas holding anystanding water.”

O.H.R.

“Everybody should be con-cerned about the rising numberof West Nile virus cases. With apond and waterfall in my back-yard, I amaware thatmosquitoesdo not breed in moving water.

“Still, I have placed mosquitodunks in thewater and also knowthat several dozens of fish keepthe water clear. Birdbaths areemptied every two to three days,so I am being cautious.

“The biggest concern comesfromotherswhodon't emptykid-diepools,water inrecyclingbins,plant saucers and other contain-ers. It only takes one tablespoonof water, and nonvigilant people,to allow mosquitoes to breed.”

They’ve been dancing for years,and Ava Sine and Jordan Sle-mons recently won first placeat the inaugural Anderson’s Got

Talent competition.Sine, 10, and Jordan, 11, beat 29 other

artists for the title, and their lyricaldance routine impressed both judgesand the audience during Greater An-derson Days at the end of July.

After their dance season ended thegirls were looking for another way toshowcase their art and entered the tal-ent competition, sponsored by the An-derson Area Chamber of Commerce.

“It was a great opportunity to showpeople what our dance was and whatdancing is about,” Jordan said.

Their routine was called “SilentWorld,” and is similar to ballet, Avasaid, but blends in elements of jazz andmodern dance. The story followed twogirls who are best friends and out for abike ride. When they go their separateways home, Ava was hit by a car andJordan never had a chance to say good-bye.

“We wanted to show the audiencethat we know how other people feelwhen they don’t get to say goodbye (toloved ones),” said Slemons, who lives in

Union Township and attends Immac-ulate Heart of Mary school on Beech-mont Avenue.

“I felt like (the audience) had a spar-kle in their eyes and were thinking, ‘weknow how you feel,’ and liked and un-

derstood our piece.”Sine, who lives in New Richmond and

attends the School for Creative andPerforming Arts, said she the audiencewas touched by their performance andwas thrilled when she learned they wonAnderson’s Got Talent.

“I love dancing with Jordan, andshe’s a great partner,” she said. “(Whenwe won), we were screaming, jumpingup and down and so happy. It was a lot offun, we made lots of friends at the com-petition.”

The girls won $1,000 for their first-place win in Anderson’s Got Talent,which was judged by a panel from Col-lege-Conservatory of Music, XavierUniversity and Northern KentuckyUniversity. A portion also included textvotes from the audience.

Slemons said they learned a lot fromthis competition, and it will help them infuture dances.

...to check out a church on Saturday at 5:30pm. No kidding.

You get to sleep in all weekend.

You don’t want to miss election spin on Sunday morning news shows.

You leave church on Saturday feeling great and still have a day left on the weekend.

You can go to Sunday morning soccer games with the kids.

You never have a hangover at 5:30pm on Saturday.

If you don’t like it, there’s still time to go to another church on Sunday morning.

Your kids can go to “Sunday School” on Saturday.

You can still go out to dinner and a movie after. (and did we mention you get to sleep in?)

God really loves you. We know He loves you on Saturdays, too.

You might actually enjoy it. Seriously!

Recent Quality Care Therapy ReviewsPatricia B. was admitted to Mt. Washington Care Center after a fall at home.Initially fall x-rays did not show a fracture. After a few weeks with increased pain, Patreturned to the hospital and a second x-ray showed a fracture to her femur. Pat underwentsurgical repair, she had a screw fixation of the femoral neck performed by a physician inthe Wellington Orthopaedic Group. Upon arrival at Mt. Washington Care Center, Pat wasdependent on staff members to assist her with bathing, dressing and transferring fromwheelchair to bed and to her chair. Pat received physical and occupational therapy forapproximately six weeks. After her rehabilitation process, Pat was able to take care of allher personal needs from bathing and dressing to transfers. She was also able to progressfrom requiring the assistance from staff members to move herself to walking independentlywith a rolling walker over 250 feet, and getting in and out of bed and in and out of a carindependently. Pat is now home with her loving husband.

Vicki D. came to Mt. Washington Care Center with congestive heart failure after spendingtime at Drake Hospital for rehabilitation, which at the time was too intense for her totolerate. Vicki was on 2 liters of oxygen, unable to take care of her personal needs, andunable to walk more than 10 feet with oxygen and a rolling walker without stopping torest. Vicki received physical and occupational therapy for approximately four weeks. Afterthose four weeks of therapy, Vicki is now able to independently dress, bathe and sheis walking 250 feet with a cane and without the use of oxygen. With the support of herfamily and home care, Vicki returned home with her family. Good luck Vicki!

Jane L. chose to come to Mt. Washington Care Center after an accident at work whichresulted in a broken hip requiring joint replacement surgery. After approximately fiveweeks of receiving physical and occupational therapy, Jane was able to independentlytake care of all of her personal care needs. She was also able to walk independently witha rolling walker over 200 feet. Jane had to work through restrictions from her surgeonregarding weight bearing. Jane was able to apply compensatory techniques and useadaptive equipment with training from the therapists. After almost six weeks of therapyaddressing her ability to take care of her personal needs, her ability to walk, her standingand walking balance, Jane was able to return to her home and begin the retirement thatwas planned prior to her accident. Way to go Jane!

The kids are back inschool and when they gethome, they’re usually

hungry. Butyou don’twant to feedthem somuch thatthey haveno appetitefor dinner.Here aresome reci-pes to makeahead oftime for

healthy snacking. Checkout tips for packing safelunches, as well on myblog Cooking with Rita atCincinnati.com.

I have to chuckle whenI give advice on how topack safe lunches since allduring our school years,we packed lunches with-out ice packs or thermosesand, yes, used paper bagsto tote them. Mom used topack us fried kibbi sand-wiches, and they smelledso good that all the kidswanted to know what theywere. I was embarrassedto say what they reallywere so I would tell themthey were Lebanese ham-burgers. Today a sandwichlike that would be consid-ered very cool! We nevergot sick either, but as Ialways say, now that we’remore aware of food spoil-age, better safe than sorry.

Pineapple popsicles

3 cups fresh pineapplechunks or 114.5 oz. canchunks packed in juice,not syrup, drained

1⁄3 cup 2 percent milkA few tablespoons sugar orhoney if it needssweetened (start with 3

tablespoons and go fromthere)

Process all ingredientsin batches in a food pro-cessor or blender until assmooth as you like. Pourinto molds or cups withwooden sticks inserted, ifnecessary. Freeze severalhours. Makes 8.

Frozen grapeskewers

We used to pick grapesfrom a local vineyard.After making grape juiceand jelly, I always hadenough left over to makethese, which were a favor-ite of my boys.

Use a flat head tooth-pick and skewer 3-4grapes on each one.

Freeze hard uncoveredand then put into freezercontainers. Let the kidseat these right out of thefreezer.

Health tips fromRita’s kitchen

Fresh pineapple helpskeeps bones strong. Pine-apple also improves diges-tion and even helps relievecold symptoms with its

high vitamin C content.Pineapple juice is soothingto a sore throat.

Grapes, especially ifthey’re red, contain pow-erful anti-oxidants.

Rita’s chunkygranola

It’s all the rage now.Chunky granola is in.Here’s how to make it.1⁄3 cupmaple syrup1⁄3 cup packed brown sugar (Iused dark)

1 tablespoon vanilla extract½ teaspoon almond extract¼ cup soybean or canola oil¼ cup extra virgin olive oil5 cups old-fashioned rolledoats

2 cups sliced almonds oryour favorite combinationof nuts

About 2 cups dried fruit(optional)

Line a large cookiesheet with parchment orspray with cooking spray.Preheat oven to 325 de-grees. Whisk togethersyrup, sugar, extracts andsalt, then whisk in oils.Fold in oats and nuts untilcoated. Pour onto cookiesheet in thin, even layerand press mixture downuntil compact. Bake 35-40minutes, rotating panhalfway through. Removeand cool to room temper-ature. Break into desiredchunks. Stir in fruit. Storein airtight container up tothree weeks.

Tips from Rita’skitchen

Add¼ cup chia seedsand or 2 tablespoons flaxseeds with the oat and nutmixture. The flax and chiaare optional but know thatthey are huge sources of

Omega 3 fatty acids,which are good for yourheart, brain, eyes, nails,skin and hair. Chia is closeto flax in Omega 3 andhigher in Omega 3 thanhemp seeds (yes, they’reedible and I use them alot).

Light brown sugar canbe substituted.

Use all vanilla extract:1 tablespoon plus 1 tea-spoon
