PRESS

It was like being back in col-lege, police Capt. MichaelDressell joked as he flashed apicture of a modest dorm roomon a screen during a recent In-dian Hill Village Council meet-ing.

Dressell, an Indian HillRanger who recently graduat-ed from a three-month-long ex-ecutive-management course atthe Southern Police Institute,showed where he studied andslept when he told council May20 what he’d learned at the in-stitute.

The 45-year-old took classes

in critical thinking, writing andleadership skills at the insti-tute, which operates at the Uni-versity of Louisville.

Dressell did homework, tooktests and networkedwith class-mates from across the UnitedStates and even some fromTur-key.

He earned straight As and aplace on the Dean’s List andsaid the most important thinghe learned may have been that,“The opportunity’s alwaysthere to get better.”

Chuck Schlie, chief of the In-dian Hill Rangers Police De-partment, said the SouthernPo-lice Institute has a reputationfor excellence on par with the

FBI Academy in Quantico, Va.Schlie said Dressell’s gradu-

ation is more than a feather inhis broad-billed ranger’s hat.

“In the long run it benefitsall of us,” Schlie said.

Schlie said police Capt. TimOliverio, assistant chief of theRangers, also made the Dean’sList when he graduated recent-ly from the Southern Police In-stitute.

Work on a pedestrian bridgeover the north lake at theGrandValleyPreserve inCampDenni-son has begun and is expectedto wrap up inmid-July, weatherpermitting.

That’s according to GeorgeKipp, Indian Hill project man-ager, who also said no boatingon or fishing in the north lakewill be alloweduntil the 50-foot-long span is done.

Just over $72,000 has beendonated for construction of thebridge, which is expected tocost about $100,000.

“Wearewell on ourway to fi-nancing the project,” IndianHill Village CouncilwomanLindsay McLean said at theMay 20 council meeting.

IndianHill owns the390-acreGrandValley Preserve off stateRoute 126.

The Grand Valley Preserve,a formergravel excavationsite,was bought by Indian Hill in2002. The site has been the fo-cus of a reclamation project torestore wildlife and the pre-serve’s natural beauty.

The pedestrian bridge under

construction there is designedto link the West Overlook Trailon the east side of thenorth laketo trails to be built on the westside.

The village hired NecampConstruction Co. of HamiltonTownship to build the bridge,saying Necamp presented thelowest of10 bids for the project.

Only residential customersof the Indian Hill Water Worksare allowed to enjoy the GrandValley Preserve.

The customers include allresidents of Indian Hill, CampDennison and Terrace Park,about half the residents of Ma-deira and some residents of Co-lumbia and Symmes townships,Milford and Montgomery.

While Indian Hill WaterWorks customers may use thepreserve for free, they need anaccess card to open the en-trance gate.

The cards are available atthe Indian Hill administrationbuilding at 6525 Drake Road,whichgenerally isopen8a.m. to5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

For graduating seniorEdwin Sam the momentwas bittersweet.

As he finishes his finalweek at Cincinnati Coun-try Day School he and allof his peers in the gradu-ating class were celebrat-ed by the underclassmenas part of an annual tradi-tion.

Stephanie Luebbers,head of the upper school,said the All School Clap-Out, is not only a way tocelebrate the past withsome students havingspent their entire educa-tional experience at theschool, but also a way toshowcase what’s aheadwith the seniors wearingT-shirts adorned with thenames of the colleges oruniversities they plan toattend.

Currently in its eighthyear, theclap-out involvesall of the underclassmenlining up in a formationsimilar to an honor guardand the seniors walking

past them to the sound ofapplause.

“This is a great com-munity builder,” said

Luebbers. “We believe(the seniors) are ready togo, andwearecelebratingtheir first steps toward

new challenges.”Senior Sally Portman,

of Terrace Park, de-scribed the experience asalmost surreal. “It’s agood representation ofthe Country Day commu-nity as a whole (with) ev-eryone coming together,”she said.

Senior Hunter Behnesaid it was a “powerful”experience seeing every-one come together.

Behne, who lives inLoveland, said he isn’toverly emotional but ad-mitted to being impactedby the experience.

“I’ll remember this formany, many years,” hesaid.

For Sam, who lives inLibertyTownship, itwas ashared experience withfamily. Several of hisyounger siblings wereamong the underclass-men who clapped.

“I gave them each ahug,” he said.

SCHOOL NOTES

EarthDaymaybe officiallyobserved in the middle ofApril, but for St. Ursula Acad-emy students, Earth Day ef-forts are present during theentire school year.

Each week, the Earth Club,facilitated by St. Ursula sci-ence teacher Mark Simcoe,meets to discuss environmen-tal topicsaswellasoversee thecampuswide recycling pro-gram.

Each classroom on campus,as well as the school offices,holds recycle bins. On Fridaysthe Earth Club membersspend part of their lunch houremptying those bins into recy-cling Dumpsters.

“It’s up to us,” said seniorEllenUphamof IndianHill. “Ifwe didn’t lead the recyclingprogram at school, who knowsif it would get done?”

Simcoe encourages the stu-dents to be environmentallyconscious by making good de-cisions as a consumer.

“There are websites thatwill allow students to searchon products they use to see ifthose products were createdusing any ingredients whichmaybeharmful to theenviron-ment,” said Simcoe.

He encourages use of thosewebsites and says he and themembers of the SUA Earth

Club will be educating the en-tire student body about prod-ucts that are created by sacri-ficing rainforests.

During Earth Week, theywill send daily email blasts toadvise students regardingwhich products are environ-mentally safe and which prod-ucts are potentially hazardousto the environment.

Simcoe hopes this e-maileducation will encourage stu-dents to think about their dailychoices.

When asked why she decid-ed to join the Earth Club, sen-ior Audrey Hemmer of VillaHills responded, “It only takesa little timeeachweek tomakea big impact. And, it’s impor-tant to protect our environ-ment and do what we can tohelp.”

In addition to creating anawareness of environmentallyfriendly practices and recy-cling, the Earth Club also par-ticipated in the “Keep Cincin-nati Beautiful Project” earlierthis year.

They spent an afternooncleaningupinEdenParkbyre-moving trash and litter fromthe park. They will continueencouraging the staff and stu-dents to do what they can tohelp St. Ursula Academy cele-brate Earth Day all year long.

Each week, St. Ursula Academy seniors Audrey Hemmer of Villa Hillsand Ellen Upham of Indian Hill spend a portion of their lunch breakleading the campuswide recycling program at St. Ursula Academy.THANKS TOMISHA BELL

Earth Club strivesfor the big impact

Dozens of students in fourthand fifth grades participate inafter-school chess at IndianHill Elementary School.

In the fall of 2012, PTO vol-unteersErinStarkeyandMonaHelmy sought a professionalchess instructor for fourth-and fifth-graders as a naturalprogression of a parent-taughtprogram in lower grades.

Helmy knewOmarDurrani,founder of Mr. Omar’s ChessAcademy based in YellowSprings, Ohio. “Mr. Omar’s vi-sion and enthusiasmmake himagreat fit for IndianHill,” saysStarkey.

For 15 weeks, the 65 mem-bers of chess stay after schoolfor two hours each week. Stu-dents receive onehour of chessinstruction and play with Dur-rani, and one hour of “home-work club.”

During “homework club,”students have a snack, dohomework, play board gamesand go to the playground.Homework club is supervisedby parent volunteers. “Par-ents’ enthusiasm for the pro-gramhasbeenoverwhelming,”

says Starkey.As part of the program,

chessmembers have enjoyed apizza party, private viewing of“Searching forBobbyFischer”at Mariemont Theatre, and theopportunity to prepare for andattend the Queen City ClassicChess Tournament.

“This has been a truly col-

laborative experience bring-ing together kids, parents, ad-ministration, professionals,community, PTO and Boostersall working toward commongoals – not only to teach thegame of chess, but also to cre-ate an environment where it isaccessible, cool and fun,” saidStarkey.

INDIAN HILL — Heading intothe Ohio Division II lacrossetournament, the Indian HillBraves were ranked 27th bywww.laxpower.com with a 7-8record.

Losing 15 seniors from lastseason’s 14-win tournamentteammade things difficult.

“We had a pretty strongschedulewith four or five teamsin the top 10 in Ohio,” Dunningsaid. “That includes Divisions Iand II. We had a few one-goalgames that we lost.”

The Braves faced local pow-ersMason, St.Xavier andMoell-er; had tough games with Syca-more, Turpin, Mariemont, Sum-mit Country Day and Loveland;and faced Kentucky power-house Louisville Trinity.

In their tournamentopeneratTomahawk Stadium May 23, In-dian Hill won decisively overFenwick 20-9, to put them in aMay 25 game with the Turpin/Wyoming winner.

Dunning’s crew carried onthis season despite extreme dis-appointment when senior AlecTaylorwentdown late in the sea-son with a knee injury.

“It’s very difficult,” Dunningsaid. “We lost a senior captain.We’ve had our share of adversi-ty,but thekidscontinuedtofightand get better each day.”

Veteran attackman Tres Ir-vine and defender Tanner Land-stra took up the slack as the re-maining active captains. Land-stra will continue his lacrossecareeratHighPoint,with Irvinemovingon toclub lacrosseat theUniversity of Kentucky.

“Those guys have beenaround fora long time forusandthey’re going to be missed,”Dunning said.

Though immobilizedandcon-

fined to a wheelchair for thetime being, Taylor will also playin the future at Ohio Wesleyan.Thecurrentplansaretoredshirtand return to the field his sopho-more season.

Taylor’s extensive knee inju-rycameinthethirdquarterMay8 in a one-goal loss to the SilverKnightsofSummitCountryDay.

“It was probably the worstpain I’ve ever felt in my life,”Taylor said.

It brought to acloseapromis-ing senior season and a year ofathleticfrustrationforTaylor. Inthe fall, his soccer season wasended prematurely by a brokenjaw.

Losing just eight seniors thisseason, IndianHillwillhavesev-eral experienced players back.They will return 14 juniors in-cluding midfielder ZachSchneider and attackman BenFrazier, as well as sophomoreAustin Schneider on attack.

Things also appear secure inthe net.

“Wehad juniorMattYoung inthe cage who stepped up big

time,” Dunning said. “It was hisfirst year on varsity.”

With numbers down this sea-son, Dunning is looking forwardto having another large seniorclass.

CoachWaltHaag’s IndianHillgirlswon their first tournamentgame against Wyoming 10-7 onMay16 to advance to the region-al semifinals against ColumbusAcademy.

In that May 21 Division IItournament game with theninth-ranked team in the state,Indian Hill got down 9-4 to theLady Vikings at halftime andcouldn’t recover, falling 16-10.Senior Addie Fries had fourgoals in the loss while senior Ni-coleGibsonandsophomoreAsh-ton Irvine had two each.

Indian Hill finishes the sea-son 10-7-1.

Graduating seniors for theLady Braves are Michelle Dun-ham, Karson Meurer, BrittanyBrown, Nicole Gibson, AddieFries, Kates Sewell, RachaelBentley, Caroline Breda andAshley Faulkner.

INDIAN HILL — Anotherspring, another wave of suc-cess for the Cincinnati Coun-try Day School rowing pro-gram.

Junior Elijah Engelke wonthe singles event at the Mid-west scholastic regatta May 8and 9. Senior team captainAlec Bunge placed second inthe singles race. SophomoreIsabell Hudson and juniorHanna Gottschalk teamed towin the women’s double raceandthenfinished1-2 insingles.

“By taking first place theyqualified for scholastic nation-als and for youth nationals,”said head coach Pedro Pala-cios. “The scholastic meet isagainst just school teamsacross the country, but theyouth nationals also includesclub teams.”

Scholastic nationals takeplace the last weekend of Mayin Saratoga Springs, N.Y.Youth nationals are on thehomewatersofHarshaLakeinClermont County the secondweekend of June.

“One of the things that is afocus in our program is on thetechnical aspect of rowing,”Palacios said. “These kids rowmore than one season, mean-ing they row year ‘round, notjust in the spring for the highschool season. If they want tobe competitive at this high lev-el, theyhavetoput inthetime.”

Engelke is in his third sea-son doing just that.

“I started rowing when Iwasafreshman,but Igot inter-ested when I was in eighthgrade,” he said. “A few of theguys from the team came toschooland toldusabout it andIwanted to give it a try. I guesstheywere pretty influential.”

He likes the idea of rowingas a single.

“Especially in the smallerboats like the singles you’reheld accountable for every ac-tion in the boat,” he said. “It’sjust you. It combines an aero-bic activity and just all-out legcompression.”

Palacios said team sizeforcestheIndians’handswhenit comes to populating the raceroster.

“Country Day is a reallysmall program and we don’thave the numbers to put to-gether an eight,” he said. “Wehave to specialize in the small-er boats to be successful.

“It’s a big work ethic, a bigdedication they put it. It’s verydemanding physically whatthey do, but it’s also highlytechnical.”

Engelkesaidhementallydi-vides 1,500-meter races intothree 500-meter chunks. Thefirst 500establishesapaceandthe last 500 is a sprint - “allheart and adrenaline” - but thecentersection is themostdiffi-cult. (For2,000-meterraces,heelongates the pace leg to thefirst 1,000 and maintains thenext500 toprepare for the500-meter end sprint.)

“Themiddlepartof theraceis actually the hardest,” hesaid. “”You have to build onyour pace and be aware of ev-eryone around you in the wa-ter. You can’t conserve in a1,500.”

Engelkedoesn’thavetolookany further than name on hisboat - Ernest Hatcher - for in-spiration in themiddle stretchin his races.

“My boat’s named after mygrandfather and I just think ofhim,” he said. “He was a bigpart of my life. He wasn’t arower, but hemeant a lot tomeand I want to do well for him.”

BLUE ASH. — At the risk ofmixing British Invasion musicmetaphors, the Ursuline Acad-emy 4x800-meter relay team isa Fab Fourwith time on its side.

Sophomores Grace Kelly,Colleen Johnston and MirandaGrigas and junior ChristineFrederick already own theschool record, qualified for theDivision I regional meet thisweekandhopefora trip tostate.For starters.

“They broke the school rec-ord in the 4x800 and they all runopen events and other relays,”said head coach Megan McAu-ley. “The four of themscored 68of our 103 points in the leaguemeet. We obviously rely onthem a lot.

“All of them are super hard-working athletes. They run to-gether every day, and it doesn’tmatter what kind of a workoutwe put them through, they saythank you at the end of everypractice. They are great kids.”

With great futures.“Since we’re a really young

team, we have time to keep get-ting better, to lower our timeseven more,” Frederick said.“The girls are pretty much likefamily. I think the fact ourcoaches push us to do our bestand that we are doing it for oneanother, that’s what I like best.”

McAuley likes the differentbackgrounds her runners bringto the relay.

“(Kelly) had never even runbefore high school,” she said,“She’d been a national-levelIrish step dancer, which was

great training for running. Butshe learned track,howtobeonarelay, just in the last year or so.

“She’sgoing tobegreatat the5K or 10K in college. She canrun forever and she’s so consis-tent with her splits.”

Johnston runs the open 400and 800, as well as the secondleg of the 4x400 and 4x800 re-lays.

“Shewasmainly a JV runnerfor us last year,” McAuley said.“She is super tiny, but she hasthis super-long stride and sheruns so gracefully. She was agymnastwhen shewas youngerand it really shows in how sheruns.”

Grigas won the 2013 GGCL400-meter title and runs the 200and 4x400 relay as well. McAu-ley liked the idea of a sprinteron the distance relay.

“Last year she ran the 400,the 200 the 300 hurdles and didthe high jump for us in theleague meet,” she said. “She’sgot really good speed and is ob-viously very versatile. But shedidn’t have that elite speed inthe sprints so we put her in the800 this year.

“I’ve seen it so many timeswhere somebody was strong,but needed something else.Right now she’s just not raced

(the 800) enough. I don’t thinkshe knows how fast she can goyet. She’s going to be great.”

And then there’s Frederick,who began her running careerwith 1.5-mile Lakota Optimistraces, officially took up track injunior high in the Lakota dis-trict and now runs the lead legfor the Lions 4x800.

“I turned out loving thesport,” she said. “My strategy isjust to get the team in the bestpossible position. To me it’s anall-out race. It’s a long race andyou have to go as hard as youcan.”

McAuley said that’s the atti-tude she wants in her lead run-ner.

“She is the most mentallytough runner of the group andthey’re all tough, so that’s say-ing something,” she said. “As ajunior, she’s their leader. Thepast two years she’s been a mil-er, a two miler, but this year wedroppedherdownto the800andit’s really paid off.”

Frederick said she looks for-ward to regionals and - possibly- state.

“We’re always nervous, butwe’re confident in our train-ing,” she said. “I think all run-ners have adrenaline, so it’s apart of the sport. It’s a greatfeeling to go out and run.”

McAuley likes their chancesof advancing.

“They need to stay mentallytough and remember all thetraining we’ve done to gethere,” she said. “I have to re-mind them these times they’reputting up are really legit, notflukes. They’ve worked forthem.”

A publication of

Obamacare is a deeplyflawed, very unpopular gov-ernment program set for fullimplementation in just a fewmonths. And guess who is incharge of administering thisprogram? The IRS.

The same IRS that acknowl-edged last week that they havebeen guilty of an egregiousabuse of the power entrustedto them by the American peo-ple. The targeting of liberty,Tea Party, or constitution-based groups by the IRS forharassment is unconscionable.

These freedom-advocating,pro-limited governmentgroups have been complaining

of this harass-ment foryears, andwere ignoredby themain-streammediauntil lastweek.

This sameIRSwill behiring 16,000new agents toadminister

Obamacare. And the person incharge of this new office, Sa-rah Hall Ingram, is the sameperson who was in charge ofthe Tax-exempt OrganizationOffice when the selective tar-

geting was taking place.Even outgoing IRS Commis-

sioner, StevenMiller, says theIRS is a poorly run organiza-tion. Can we even fathom ex-panding its powers to encom-pass Obamacare? Truth is,indeed, stranger than fiction.

We now knowwhat big gov-ernment brings us: big misuseof power. We have an IRS thatwill not hesitate to wantonlywield their power, and amas-sive government entitlementprogram that will impact ev-ery America ... all set to de-scend on the American peoplein amatter of months.

This is the inevitable result

of a government that hasgrown too big. As the Presi-dent’s own long-time adviserDavid Axelrod said last week,“Part of being president is thatthere’s so much beneath youthat you can’t know becausethe government is so vast.” Hehas certainly hit the nail on thehead.

And this blatant misuse ofpower will continue to occurunless we, the people, turnback to the freedom of limitedgovernment. This is the onlypath to keep government re-sponsible to, and working for,its “master,” the Americanpeople.

Don’t let Washington getaway with this attack on ourfundamental freedom. Takeaction: Contact your U.S.House and Senate membersand Congressional leadership.Let your voice be heard!

SusanWisner is an IndianHill resi-dent.

The IRS and Obamacare ... seriously?

SusanWinsnerCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

“This is theinevitable result ofa government thathas grown too big.”

Last week’s question“Doyouthink IRSofficials 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 givingthe IRS toomuchcredit for tar-geting conservative groups.They are generally over-worked and underfunded anddo not have a lot of spare timeto pursue political agendas.

“Groups with certain key-words in their names, like theones allegedly targeted, haveabused the tax system foryears by claiming to be chari-ties when, in fact, they werepolitical lobbying organiza-tions.

“It is my belief that theywere ‘profiling’ these groupsfor audit for legitimate pur-poses. Thiswas likely awell in-tentioned, but bungled moveon their part.

“As aCPApracticing 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 notcatching the tax cheats.”

F.S.D.

“Tough call. I do believethere is politics involved in thedecision to flag these groups.Nevertheless, the IRS is ahuge, cumbersome bureaucra-cy.

“I think ineptitude, uncer-tain guidelines and directionand the ‘snail’s pace’ move-ment of anygovernment entityalso played a part.

“Don’t get me wrong, I amnot an Obama supporter. Ithink, however, the Republi-cans can get a lot of mileageout of this (and I don’t blamethem). When the shoe’s on theother foot the same thing hap-pens.”

T.B.

“I got politically active inearly 2009, including partici-pating in Tea Party events,writing letters to the editorand emailing and calling poli-ticians of both parties on mat-ters important to theTeaParty.

“In late 2009 my personaltax return for 2007 was audit-ed, the first and only time Ihave ever been audited.My re-turn for 2007 contained noth-ing very unusual as comparedto any other year.

“Of course, I can’t prove it,but I absolutely believe that I

was targeted as a result of mypolitical activities. I haveheard comments from otherconservatives who had similarexperiences 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 the conser-vative movement in order toinsure the success of its social-ist agenda items. Strike fear inthe hearts of the people andthey will shut up, allowingthings as heinous as the ThirdReich to occur.

“It’s starting to happen hereand everything is beingcouched in the positive ratio-nale that ‘it’s for the commongood.’ Even the seeminglyben-eficial reverse mortgages arejust anotherway for the feds tograb up land that would other-wise go to the heirs of the el-derly people who are just us-ing this tactic as a way to re-duce their living costs.

“When the governmentstarts overstepping its legalbounds, legislating every as-pect of our lives and thechoices we used to be free tomake we know that tyrannyhas arrived. Both political par-ties are guilty of this.

“It’s time to reclaim ourConstitution and get back tothe honor and dignity that thiscountry once had. We need anew, strong third party filledwith uncorrupted politicianswho can stop the insanity be-forewe find ourselves living inthe USSR (United States So-cialist Republic). It didn’twork in the original USSR andit won’t work here, at least notwhile older Americans who re-member our God-given free-doms are still alive.

“Unfortunately, our systemof education is promoting thesocialist, liberal agenda andthe younger generation thinksthat this is theway to go. Imiss

the ‘old’ America ... a countryin which people worked hardfor a living and would ratherdie than to live off of the sweatof another person’s brow.

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

C.H.

“Oh, I am sure this is a polit-icalmotivatedmoveof the cur-rent administration on part ofthe IRS. Being the history of abully, the IRS in the most parthas been more user friendlythese past few years.”

O.R.

“I think it is a one-time mis-take based on poor oversight.

“However, since the TeaParty mantra is anti-tax, andnot wanting to pay anythingback to the country, I don’tmind that they were being in-vestigated.

“If any group would seek toabuse a non-profit status tofurther their political agendait would be the Tea Party.”

I.P.

“As the IRS scandal unfoldsI see a pattern reminiscent ofthe ugly politics of LyndonJohnson and Richard Nixon.Supposedly their tyrannicalabuse of the IRS to harass op-ponents caused both Republi-cans andDemocrats to unite toeradicate any such abuse ofany government agency in-cluding the FBI.

“Hillary Clinton personallyassisted with the prosecutionof Nixon and lived in theWhiteHouse for eight years. She alsowas the highest ranking Cab-inetmember of President Oba-ma’s first administration, yetthe ugliness came back two ormore years ago.

“This is anything but ‘poli-tics as usual.’ This ongoing pol-icy within Obama’s IRS con-vincesme that he sponsored it,or he knew of it and approvedit, or he is guilty of incredibleignorance of the inner work-ings of the government he vol-unteered to lead.

“Regardless of Obama’srole, the Oval Office occupantis the one who must take theblameand the consequences ofthis outrage.”

R.V.

“I think that if the IRS is abranch of government thatthey are crooked. I don’t thinkthat this is a one-time mistake,but that these things happenall the time and we don’t see it.Maybe this will start to wakeus up to what the government

is capable of doing right infront of our noses.

Dave D.

“Oh Heavens, no. These ‘or-ganizations’ exist for the purepurpose of obstructing thework of the IRS. They wereseeking a tax status that onlyapplies to groups which arespending less than 10 percentof their money on politicalwork, which they obviously donot qualify for.

“This is exactly what theAmerican Nazi party did toidentify Skokie, Illinois, as thefocus of their parade effort.Theymass-mailed small townsfor permission to parade andwhen one town finally rejectedthem they made a nationalscene about it.

“The Tea Party has proba-bly also sent hundreds of off-the-wall requests to IRS, ask-ing for charitable exemptionstatus for their local chapters.Most of them were probablyhandled well, or ignored. Butdoubtlessly, some of them be-came bogged down as Con-gress cuts IRS funds and theworkload increased for thepeoplewhose job it is to handletax exemption requests.

“It is an American privilegeto be able to criticize govern-ment. I’d like to see those folksfigure out how to drive theircars if the government didn’tbuild roads or them though.There’s a distinction betweencriticizing and trying to ob-struct business.

N.F.

“I certainly do not believethis is a one-time mistake orthat it is limited to our localbranch. In fact, according to arecent editorial in the WallStreet Journal (by James Bo-vard 5/15/13), abuse of the pow-er of the IRS goes back to the1920s, many times with or atpresidential direction. I haveoften heard it said that the IRSis the most feared U.S. goven-

ment agency. It is easy to seewhy.”

M.A.M.

“This whole issue is a stormin a Tea Cup. The conservativegroups used the words ‘TeaParty’ in their names to appealto a politically active groupand then turn round and try toconvince the IRS that they de-serve 501 c(4) tax exempt sta-tus because they are less than50 percent political. They maydelude themselves, but notthose at the IRS trying to weedout false claims.

“Maybe more groupsshould have been targeted onthe left as well, but my sympa-thy for these right-winggroups isn’t zero, it’s nega-tive.”

D.R.

“If a culture of abusing itspower exists at the IRS, it hasbeen there since1959when thefloodgates were opened andnearly all 501-C4 groups wereallowed special tax status evenif they engaged in “social wel-fare” purposes only part time.

“The reason was the changeof the word “exclusively” to“primarily” referring to agroup’s work promoting socialwelfare. The NAACP and Hu-mane Society do engage in so-cial welfare, but a lot of othergroups that claim to do not(anyone connected to KarlRove or the Koch brothers, forinstance).

Now, however, that IRS offi-cial Lois Lerner has “taken theFifth” at a Congressional hear-ing and refused to answerquestions from witch-huntingconservatives all of the possi-bilities for truth will get lost inthe hype of “scandal” as thetea-party factotums (Boehnerand Rand Paul, mostly) de-mand “who’s going to jail?” It’salready turned into just anoth-er sore-loser attack on ourpresident by the right.”

As diverse as the rivers,lakes and oceans theytraveled were the expe-

riences Alan Lloyd an his wife,Jean, enjoyedon their travels ofthe Great Loop over the pastdecade.

The Milford couple travelsabout threeor fourmonthseachyear, and have explored water-ways on their 33-foot boat, fromChicago to the Florida Keys,and up the East Coast to NewYork City and Canada, return-ing to Chicago to complete the6,000-mile Great Loop.

They navigated rivers, ca-nals, lakes and oceans, cruising

the Loop three times, and nowworking on their fourth.

“What struck us most aboutthis was the variety of experi-ences,” Lloyd said. “We travelalong various waterways fromcalm rivers and canals to theGreat Lakes, where we aresometimes out of sight of land,or prey to the weather.”

They visited places rangingfrom New York and Chicago tosmall villages with family res-taurants and local festivals, topicturesqueanchorageswithnotrace of human life.

“I would like my viewers toappreciate that such a greatroute is possible,” Lloyd said,“and hundreds of ‘loopers’make the circuit every year.”

When I put in requestsfor recipes, I usually justput them in once, maybetwice. If I don’t get a

responsefrom youor havenothing inmy files, Igo on tothe nextrequest.But thisone fromMarkBurnhimerhas

touched my heart in away that I am asking,once again, if any of youcan help.

Mark told me: “After aminor 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 Cakemix

1box 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 acraving 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. She

works 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 Iasked 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 with

a 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 Tonya

Epsom salt: Makesyou 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.
