BATAVIA TOWNSHIP — Morethan 40 years after it opened,the ever expanding MercyHealth Clermont Hospital con-tinues to play a key role inBata-via Township and neighboringcommunities.
“It’s had a huge impact,” saidMatt Van Sant, president andCEO of the Clermont CountyChamber of Commerce. “Froma direct standpoint, there arehundreds of jobs there, and thathas a huge effect on the localeconomy.There’salso therippleeffect, the additional jobs creat-ed, the need for banks to makedeposits and houses that arebuilt.”
Van Sant described MercyHealth, with its economic im-pact and number of volunteersin Clermont County, as “a keyplayer in theEast Sidemarket.”
Last year, the Mercy HealthClermont Hospital undertook a$2.5millionexpansionandreno-vation of its emergency depart-ment. That project was de-signed to improve efficiencyand treat patients faster at ahigh level of care.
In June, the Mercy HealthClermont Hospital opened an18,000-square foot newly reno-
vated behavioral health facility.The 24-bed facility is designedto offer a comprehensive ap-proach to behavioral healthcare that previously didn’t ex-ist. It offers acute care, partialhospitalization and intensiveoutpatient programs in a safesetting that promotes healing.
Clermont County SheriffA.J. Rodenberg said the latterproject has likely helped hisdeputies becausemore patientswithmentalhealth issuescanbeheld for observation so thatthey’renot outwanderingaboutthe community.
Rodenberg said his depart-ment gets calls “from time totime” when someone acts out atthe hospital’s emergency de-partment. But overall, he said
his agency has not seen any in-creased calls for service withthe expansions, and he said thehospital has benefited the com-munity.
Batavia Township Adminis-trator Rex Parsons said thetownship does not receive taxdollars from the hospital be-cause that facility, as a nonprof-it, is tax exempt. However, byemploying township residentsin the Clermont hospital it hasprovided indirect economicbenefits.
“Hopefully, during the reno-vations, theyused localcontrac-tors too,” Parsons said.
Although the hospital has nodirect economic impact on the

“Eastgate Boulevard is ef-fectively complete.”
That’s something UnionTownship Administrator KenGeiswaspleased tosayatare-
cent townshiptrustees meet-ing and some-thing membersof themotoringpublic will bepleased to hear.
“The en-trance ramp to
eastbound state Route 32should open up sometime be-foreThanksgiving, andwebe-lieve that the tunnel isgoing toalso open then as well,” Geissaid.
“That will be an exit rampfrom northbound Interstate275 from (state Route) 125 ifyouwanted to head eastboundon state Route 32 east of theJungle Jim’s (InternationalMarketat4450EastgateSouthDrive) area.”
Geis cautioned that it willnot be until sometime nextyear that a lot of other road-work in the Eastgate area ofUnion Township will be fin-ished.
“The Ivy Pointe Boulevardextension to Aicholtz Road isunderway,” Geis said.
“The utilities are being in-stalled this year and the roadwill be complete next year.
“Aicholtz underneath theinterstate will really begin in
earnest next year and theywill begin tunneling under theinterstate to complete thatroad all the way to Mt. Car-mel,” Geis said.
“The improvement thereshould take about two yearsand that will extend into 2016.
“I’m not sure if it’s going tobe thesummerof2016or later,but at some point you’ll actu-ally be able to go from this lo-cation in the civic center (at4350 Aicholtz Road) all theway to Mt. Carmel withoutgetting on (state Route) 32 orClough Pike,” Geis said.
Geis said road and trafficsignal improvements also arebeginning at East Tech Driveby the Union Township fire-house at 718 Old state Route74.
“Thetransmission linesarethere and they’re actually go-ing tobegin thatworkand thatwill be complete this year be-fore Thanksgiving, as well,”Geis said.
The Eastgate Boulevardwork is part of a $10 millionproject towiden the road overstate Route 32.
It is relocating the west-bound entrance and exitramps from state Route 32 toEastgate North Drive insteadofEastgateBoulevard, andre-constructing the westboundloop ramp fromEastgateBou-levard to state Route 32.

ANDERSON FACILITY EXPANDING
Mercy Health - AndersonHospital recently celebratedits 30th anniversary. Thehospital, which is at 7500State Road in AndersonTownship opened its doorsAugust 1984 as an extensionof Our Lady of Mercy Hospi-tal in Mariemont.While the Anderson locationcelebrated three decades ofoperation, the Mercy Health -Rookwood Medical Centercelebrated its one-year anni-versary. The facility, which isat 4101 Edwards Road inOakley, began operation inthe summer of 2013.Both facilities have had animpact on their respectivecommunities.“The hospital is a viable partof the economy and (the)
sustainable growth of acommunity,” said Jeff Gra-ham, president of the MercyHealth east market.Mercy Health - AndersonHospital is in the midst a $70million expansion that beganin 2013. The project includesexpanded parking at thefacility, atrium renovationsand construction of a newfive-story patient tower thatwill house 90 private roomsand incorporate 69,327square feet of renovations tothe existing hospital.The project, which will becompleted in 2016, also in-volves expansion and reno-vation of the intensive careunit as well as renovation ofthe obstetrics and familybirthing center.
Graham said Mercy Healthhas had “a long-runningpartnership”with AndersonTownship and the Forest HillsLocal School District.Students at Nagel MiddleSchool helped in the designof both the parking lot aswell as a family waitingroom, that is also part of theexpansion project.“The impact of that facilityand the medical office build-ings have been tremendous,”said Steve Sievers, assistantadministrator of operationsfor Anderson Township. “Thehospital was a springboardfor many of the develop-ments along the Five Milecorridor.”Sievers said the hospital isone of the largest employersin the area.
“It has been a developmentand quality of life driver (inthe township),” he said.Nanette Bentley, director ofpublic relations for MercyHealth, said the Mercy Health- Rookwood Medical Centerwas built to meet needs atthat specific location, whichserves the communities ofOakley, Hyde Park, Mt. Look-out, Norwood and Marie-mont.“There wasn’t any conve-niently located health care(facility) there, so we builtthe emergency departmentto meet consumer demand,”said Bentley.The facility is 24,000 squarefeet and houses an emergen-cy department, physicianoffices and an imaging de-partment.

CCDS students featuredin documentary
For years, Cincinnati Coun-try Day seventh-graders havelearned about Martha (namedafter Martha Washington), apassenger pigeon, in DanWood’s science classes. Now,Wood and nine students have afew seconds of fame in a newdocumentary about the extinc-tion of Martha’s species.
“From Billions to None: ThePassengerPigeon’sFlight toEx-tinction” was created to illus-trate the passenger pigeon’shistory and impact. For centu-ries, the passenger pigeon wasthemost abundantbird inNorthAmerica and possibly theworld. It was hunted to extinc-tion in a matter of decades. Thefilmexplores thebird’s unlikelyextinction and its relevance toconservation issues today, in-cluding the depletion of theshark species.
Cincinnati plays a role in thestory because Martha, the lastknown passenger pigeon, diedat the Cincinnati Zoo on Sept.1,1914.Thezooobserved the100thanniversary of her death.
A group of current ninth-graders visited the zoo last Oc-tober to recreate part of the an-nual seventh-grade trip to thezoo that involves Martha.
Wood discovered the film-makers were seeking crowd-funding to produce the film andrequested that proceeds from amiddle school dance in spring2013 be donated to the cause. Inreturn, the school would get acopy of naturalist Joel Green-berg’s new book about passen-ger pigeons and the documen-tary tohelp support thecurricu-lum.
After Wood sent the dona-tion, film producer David Mra-zek contacted him and askedhim why the school was inter-ested in donating. Wood ex-plained that he uses Martha inhis curriculum, and during the
annual zoo field trip, eachgroupstopsbya statue ofMartha for aphoto.
In October 2013, the film-makers came to amiddle schoolassembly to talk about passen-ger pigeons, conservation andwhat it’s like to make a docu-mentary.
The next day, a group of stu-dents, then eighth-graders whohad already experienced thefield trip the previous spring,met at the zoo for filming.

LOOK to Clermont partici-pants learned about countyhistory, agriculture and traitsof Clermont leaders Oct. 21during the program’s annualbus tour of the county.
LOOK to Clermont is ayouthdevelopmentcourse, op-erated by Ohio State Univer-sityExtensionClermontCoun-ty and University of Cincin-nati Clermont College, forClermont high school juniorsand seniors. Participants de-velop leadership skills, whileearning post-secondary en-rollment option credit, bymeeting each month for atheme day and completing agroup project.
October’s theme day, focus-ing on history and agriculture,allowed students to explorethe county from the top to bot-tom – literally. Studentsboarded a bus at the ClermontExtension Office in Owens-ville for a tour routing fromthe county’s northern to south-ern half.
“This program, and whatwe do at Extension through4-H, is all about learningbydo-ing. This is one of the mosthands-on classes of the year,”said Kelly Royalty, LOOK toClermont advisor and Cler-mont Extension’s 4-H youthdevelopment educator. “Wewant the students to see theconcepts firsthand. The les-sons from this class come fullcircle in other theme daysthroughout the year, like gov-ernment and economics.”
Students began the tour atPine Lane Soaps with ownersMartha Enriquez, BeckyJones and Patty Fix and wenton to Auxier Farm to learn
about small and large farmop-erations in the county, respec-tively. Both farms are in Bata-via.
“Many of the students arenot aware agriculture has animpact in the county, and thistour visually shows both theurban and rural sides of thecounty,” Royalty said.
From there, Mayor MaryAnn Lefker welcomed them toWilliamsburgwith a tour andastop at Harmony Hill to learnabout the northern half of thecounty with the Clermont His-torical Society.
Traveling south throughBethel, Felicity, Neville andChilo to Point Pleasant, stu-dents touredPresidentGrant’sBirthplace and completed thetour in New Richmond withhistorian Greg Roberts. Rob-erts discussed New Rich-mond’s history including lifeon the Ohio River and the abo-litionist movement; studentsvisited the Cardboard BoatMuseum and Dr. John Roger’shome site. The latter part ofthe tour focused on the leader-ship traits possessed by Cler-mont’s founders, as well asGrant and the abolitionists.

WILLIAMSBURG—When Shari McKib-ben took the reins of Williamsburg HighSchool’s varsity volleyball program priorto the 2014 season, she did not have tochange much.
TheWildcats had won three of thepast four Southern Buckeye AcademicAthletic Conference National Divisionchampionships. This season, a young
squad continued the program’s traditionof winning, posting a 17-6 overall markand advancing to the district final.
“Our success is because the founda-tion has been laid by so many coaches,”said McKibben. “We’ve been building upthe program the last couple of yearsthanks to great coaching at all levels.”
Despite relying entirely on under-classmen, the Wildcats posted the pro-gram’s winningest season since 2011.Playing without an experienced star or
two actually benefited Williamsburg.Opponents had to prepare for the entirelineup. On any given night, anyWildcatcould step up as the team’s most effec-tive performer.
“Any night, a defense would have tofocus on many players,” said McKibben.“We had many strong players, not justone or two that a defense had to worryabout.”

BATAVIA — Matt Lester be-cameBataviaHigh School’s in-terimhead coach in thirdweekof the season. The abruptcoachingchange, following thedeparture of former Bulldogsplayer and first-year headcoachCalebCorrill, couldhavethrown the program into disar-ray.
Instead, Lester led Bataviato a 7-3 finish and SouthernBuckeye Academic AthleticConference National Divisionchampionship.
Batavia fell to 2-3 followinga loss to Norwood on Oct. 26,but that game was a turningpoint for the program. Theybattled back from adversityand proved something to oneanother in defeat. After that,the Bulldogs reeled off fivestraight wins to close out theseason.
“We made a commitment tophilosophy and we made atransition back to fundamen-tals,” said Lester. “We builtsome mental toughness. It’sbeen tumultuous, but the kidshave handled it well.”
After the Norwood game,something clicked for theBull-dogs. The victories started toadd up. Lester was approvedby the board as permanenthead coach in week nine priorto the team’s game againstBlanchester.
“It tookawhile forus togainan identityasacoachingstaff,”said Lester.
Without the team’s seniorsleading the way through thecoaching upheaval, the seasoncould have spiraled in anotherdirection. Instead, they playedup to their strengths.
“Everyone stepped up a lit-tle bit,” said Lester. “With thesenior group we had, we knewthat they were capable. Thequestionwas, couldwe tap intotheir potential?”
The Bulldogs focused onlimiting turnovers and pre-venting opposing offensesfrom breaking big plays. Theyworked every day to play bet-ter under pressure.
“We constantly put them instressful situations in prac-tice,” said Lester. “I think itwas a cumulative effect. Ithink there was a maturationprocess as a team.”
Senior quarterback KeSh-awn Foley proved to be one ofthecity’s topplaymakers,pass-ing for 1,221yards and rushingfor 1,059. He accounted for 26touchdowns. Junior ShawnAd-ams scored 11 touchdowns atwide receiver and played fero-ciousdefenseatdefensiveend.He also provided vocal leader-ship that the team desperatelyneeded. Adams and classmate
Dylan Wagner will be countedon to lead the team into 2015.
Lester served as assistantcoach for two seasons at Cler-mont Northeastern under Ja-son Conley, currently a Bull-dogs assistant coach. He neverexperienced a season like thisone.
“I can’t express howproud Iam of these kids,” said Lester.

Underclassmen con-tributorsmade a huge im-pact on the varsity pro-gram. Setters PaytonFisher, a freshman, andKelly Brown, a sopho-more, keyed theWildcats’attack. Sophomore Au-brey Young battled backfrom injury, while herclassmate Emily McKib-ben impressed with herpassing skills.
“They really steppedup their level of play,”said McKibben.
Williamsburg relied onthose young players notjust to play key roles onthe court, but to providethe leadership that usual-ly comes from seasonedveterans.TheyoungWild-cats played and preparedwith maturity beyondtheir years. They enteredeach match with confi-dence.
“I was very pleasedwith our leadership,which started with thepersonality of our set-ters,” said McKibben.“You couldn’t ask formore positive leadershipon the court. Our goal was
to walk off the courtknowing that we shouldbeat teams that we shouldbeat. Our girls can walkoff the court with theirhead held high.”
The Wildcats were of-ten competing againstteams with older andmore experienced play-ers. They took somelumps this season, butthat was to be expected.The young roster grewand matured over thecourse of the season.
“This year is chalkeduptoa learningyear,”saidMcKibben. “Going fromeighth grade to compet-ing against seniors,there’s going to be grow-ing pains.”
Without a single senioron the roster, theWildcatshad the odds stackedagainst them. Yet, theyoung squad made themost of their opportuni-ties this season. Expecta-tions were not nearly ashigh entering 2014 as theywill be entering the 2015season.
“The girls understandthe game so much more,”said McKibben. “Thefoundationhasbeen laid. Itruly think that next yearshould be our year toshine.”

McNicholas High School’s volleyballteam fell short in its quest to repeat asGreater Catholic League Co-ed CentralDivisionchampions,but theRocketsstillhad plenty to celebrate about the 2014season. The Rockets won another dis-trictchampionshipbeforefallingtorivalAlter in the regional tournament. Theteam rallied from late-season setbacksto play some of its best volleyball of theyear when it mattered most.
Against a challenging schedule, theRockets stumbled down the stretch.McNick lost three of its final four regu-lar seasongames, and four of its last sev-en. The team rallied together andbounced back in time to make a domi-nant run through the district tourna-ment. TheRockets swept their first fourpostseason opponents en route to claim-ing the title.
The GCL Co-Ed Central Divisioncrown went to Roger Bacon this year.The teams played two hotly-contestedfive-game matches. The Spartans cameout on top in both to secure the title.
“We had an opportunity to win both,”saidRockets head coachDennyMurphy.“They were scrappy and came up withsome big plays.”
The Rockets, ranked second in the fi-nal Enquirer Division II Coaches’ Poll,lost to third-ranked Alter in the regionaltournament. The future looks promisingfor the program, which will graduatejust three seniors. While the contribu-tions of Emily Bloemer, Gabbie La-
treille, and Morgan Cox will be missed,the Rockets will return an experiencedsquad in 2015.
SophomoreAdrianEllwas third in theGCL Central in kills with 196. JuniorsHannahWuerfel, SaraCrooker, andLau-ren Schmalz each finished with over 142kills and ranked in the top eight in the di-vision. Wuerfel led the team with 249digs.TheRocketsmustreplaceBloemer,the team’s top distributor with 358 as-sists from her setter position. Six-foot-ers Schmalz, Ell, Carley Scales, andBrenna Yanetti will give the Rockets aformidable defense at the net next sea-son.
“We have a lot of kids coming backwith a lot of experience,” said Murphy.
McNick finished the season17-9 over-all, falling to Alter in the regional semi-final. It was the fourth straight seasonthe Rockets fell just short of the statetournament. The Rockets have won fourstraight district championships. Theteamwill beexpected tokeep that streakintact in 2015. The goal will be to breakthrough to the regional final, and be-yond.

TROY — It’s not an easy drive fromNewtown to Troywith the constructionin Dayton, but after 11 years a few de-lays don’t seem to matter.
That’s how longAmyGill hasbeenatMiami Valley Christian Academycoaching volleyball. She came to thevillage when former Anderson HighSchool principal Mike Hall was at thehelm of the new school that occupiedthe former Newtown Elementary.
Since then, MVCA’s grown in stu-dents and facilities.
When Gill started the program shehadfreshmenandsophomorescompet-ing against full varsity squads. Fromthere, she grew a grade each year untilthey finally had a senior class.
Now, in their first year back in theOhio High School Athletic Association,the Lady Lions had a historic seasonthat culminated inmaking theDivisionIV district final in Troy Oct. 25.
“What a great way to come back in,right?” Gill said.
Afterearly tournamentwinsagainstXeniaChristianandLockland, theLady
Lions ran into a squad alittle closer to the top ofthe net than many oftheir Cincinnati compet-itors. With a decidedheight advantage,Springfield CatholicCentral was able to de-feat MVCA 25-10, 25-14,25-14.
Gill’s girls wrapped up the season22-3.
“I would say we pretty much dom-inated Division IV in Cincinnati,” Gillsaid. “You can’t ask for more than that.It’s awesome.Theseschoolsarebig. It’shard to competewith theyhave the sizethat they have. It was an honor to playthem, they did a great job.”
The loss didn’t stop the Lady Lionsfrom smiling and many proud parentsfromsnappingphotosafterward.Muchof the school had made a day of it inTroy as MVCA runners Brad Grosjeanand Laura Vilardo competed in the re-gional cross country meet adjacent tothe gym that morning.

It is no doubt that the roadwe are on in this country is a
very unstableroad.
This ad-ministrationsupports Mus-lims and isblind or justplain ignorantto foresee thedangers ISIS,ISIL, Hamas,Al Qaeda andwhatever ter-ror group
wants to make a name for it-self. They want a religious war.They wish to eliminate everyreligion or convert you to Is-lammuch like the crusades
when Christianity became amajor religion in the world.
Christianity and the worldlearned from its mistakes afterthe Crusades and ideology wasfundamentally changed when13 colonies fought for freedomof religion and independencefrom religion being forceddown there throats. That war,was the Revolutionary war notjust for this nation, but forfreedom and freedom of reli-gion. While America has manyissues to improve upon westrive to “form amore perfectunion,” that is of freedom,prosperity and of tolerance.
The Obama administrationdoes not view America as ourforefathers intended. What
should have been a definingmoment in history becomingthe first African American inhistory to become leader of thefree world instead has becomea legacy of failures and attackson the history that created theopportunity. They are afraid ofthe “W” word….war.
We are involved in a reli-gious war and by God I saylet’s give it to them. Not a warfor the elimination of Islam,but to show how religion issupposed to be; compassionate,tolerant, supportive for theevolution of all mankind tobecome better than what wewere, to strive to form amoreperfect species of humanity.We fight the fear they instill in
us by using Islam as a weaponand that we are not afraid ofthese cowards who hide behindan ideology to preach destruc-tion. It is not the religious warthey want, but that’s the onewe should give them.
Failure to eliminate ISISwill only give them strengthand tragedy will only come tohaunt us here in our cities andtowns. They will continue theirattacks until we begin havingmore attacks in the UnitedStates much like the beheadingin Oklahoma. We will havemore threats and attacks onthe innocent like the recentthreats of beheading schoolchildren in Rhode Island.
ISIS will continue to create
chaos until all hell breaks losenationwide. All of this chaoswith the Ebola outbreak pre-sents a perfect case to suspendhabeas corpus. Then the gov-ernment could declare martiallaw throughout the nation andsuspend the Constitution andwe are no longer a free nation.
It’s time, to put on your bigboy pants and start acting likea leader, or step aside. It’s timewe had an average voice of thepeople lead our nation. It’stime we had a #averagejoe-forpresident.

Although it is anarchitectural land-mark full of interest-ing exhibits and amust see sight forout-of-town visitors,for families it is alsoaplace to share memo-ries of earlier daysand make plans forfuture outings.
The CincinnatiHistory Museum hasCincinnati in Motion,sometimes called the
train display. However it is Cincin-nati in miniature which featuresmodels of Crosley Field, Union Ter-minal and many neighborhoods asthey looked in the early 20th centu-ry.
On a family visit, tell about visitsmade to theCincinnatiZoo in its ear-lier days and, if old enough, trips toCrosley Field, Coney Island or Lun-ken Airport when it was the mainairport for Cincinnati. Near the endof themuseum, there isPublicLand-ing, a reproduced river town includ-ing theQueen of theWest riverboat.Costumed interpreters may bethere to add information.
In the Museum of Science andNaturalHistoryareopportunities toplan for future outings. The moundbuilder exhibit could lead to a visitto the intriguing Serpent Mound orto Fort Ancient to see Native Amer-ican earthworks about 2,000 yearsold. A good opportunity to sharethoughts and memories is at the
space age display.It is small andanexcellent oppor-
tunity to expand on it since it oc-curred during our life time. Thatcould lead toafuturevisit to theNeilArmstrongMuseum.
Next, there is the popular Caveand IceAge that could lead to a visitto Mammoth Cave. The cave has awheelchair accessible path. Ofcourse,DinoHall is popular and it isnear the exit to the museum.

“I have voted via themail on absentee bal-lots for the past 8 yearsorso.Theballot isavail-able aheadof time fromHamilton County viaphone or www.voteha-miltoncounty.org.
There are many ad-vantages to this mail-inmethod such as nolines,weatherconcernsor driving and parkingconcerns. The best partis I can sit at homewithall the information infront ofmeand takemytime intelligently fill-ing out the ballot andmail it in early.”
T.D.T.
“I have never under-stood early voting. Iworked as a pilot for 46years, and never had aproblem with gettingan absentee ballot.Early voting made itpossible for me to godown to the Board ofElections rather thanmail in the ballot, andwatch the lines of peo-ple being brought inwith people to ‘help’them get registeredand vote. Many werequite open about beingstudents not from thearea, and quite possiblyregistered to vote else-where. Made me wishfor a purple inkwell,
where people could re-ceive a mark that saidthey had already voted,but could only be usedonce. I believe voterfraud is one of the larg-est issues facing ourRepublic this electioncycle.”

“I did already votethrough an absenteeballot. I started this oneyearwhen I knew Iwasgoing to be out of town.but when it becameavailable as a means ofearly voting I opted forthis method in almostevery election.

plies. Travel with emergencyitems, such as a blanket, warmclothing, sand or cat litter, ashovel, an ice scraper and al-ways a working cell phone.
» To conserve energy, heatonly those rooms that you use.Close off the attic, garage, base-ment, spare bedrooms or stor-age areas. But, you should keepyour thermostat set to at least65degrees toprevent hypother-mia.
» Remember good nutrition.Food provides the fuel we needto keep warm. Hot food andwarm drinks are best to warmthe body.
»Wear a hat to protectagainst heat loss since close to
half of all body heat is lostthrough the head.
»Wearnon-skid boots or oth-er shoes with plenty of traction
»When using a portableheater, plug the heater directlyinto an outlet, not to an exten-sion cord. Keep the area aroundthe heater clear of furniture,newspaper or other flammablematerials and secure cords toprevent tripping.
»Keep at least a three-daysupply of non-perishable foodand water and at least a seven-day supply of prescriptionmed-ications. Have a programmablephone with emergency num-bers entered for fire, police,ambulance, doctor, family
members and neighbors.» Seniors who need to shovel
driveways and walkwaysshould takespecialprecautions.The easiest option is to hiresomeone to do this work.
» Prevent carbon monoxidepoisoning. Using a fireplace,gas heater or lanterns can leadto carbon monoxide poisoning.Check thebatteries onyourcar-bon monoxide detector and buyan updated one, if needed.

Yesterday my throatand head were stuffed upand the last thing I want-ed to do was work in the
herb gar-den. Moth-er Naturewas coop-eratingwith theweather, soI knew Ihad to startgetting thegardencleaned upfor winter.
I was grumbling sincemy task seemed to loomso large. The weeds hadsprung up just abouteverywhere. I was takingmy garden plaque downwhen I stopped to reallyread it once again. Myattitude changed immedi-ately. I thought you’denjoy seeing the verse Iread that put me in apositive frame of mind.Not only that, but when Icut back the eucalyptus,thyme and horehound,those powerful herbsthat help with respira-tory ailments, my headand throat cleared upnicely. Lesson learned!
Helen Sarky’sLebanesevegetarian greenbean stew
I love this recipe fromLebanese friend, HelenSarky, an Anderson
Township reader. A ver-sion of these beans aregoing to be served at theupcoming “A taste ofLebanon” held at St. An-thony’s of Padua churchon Victory Parkway. Thefeast is on Sunday, Nov.23, from noon to 6 p.m.and the menu will alsocontain kibbee (the mainmeat dish of Lebanon),hummus, vegetarianfalafel, stuffed cabbageand grape leaf rolls,among other traditionalfavorites. These are gen-erations-old recipes,treasured heirlooms.They’ll also have dancingand music and carryout,as well. Check out thesite www.stanthonyofpaduachurch.com orgive them a call at (513)961-0120. I’m alreadyhungry…

Reduce toa simmer, cover pan andcook until tender, about20 minutes. Serve over abed of cooked rice.
Cauliflower pureeAccording to the foo-
dies, cauliflower is thenew kale. I just harvest-ed some Jerusalem ar-tichokes from the gardenand roasted those withsome cauliflower andBrussels sprouts. Theywere a delicious anddifferent side dish. Butyou know what? Cauli-flower can stand on its
own as a nice puree to goalongside that Thanks-giving turkey. Lower incarbs than potatoes, thispuree can be done sever-al hours ahead and re-heated.
2 heads cauliflower,stems and leaves re-moved, florets cut up
Lemon juice to taste1/2 stick butter or
substitute or more totaste
Half & half or whip-ping cream - can be lowfat half & half
Salt and pepper totaste
Chopped parsley for
garnishEither steam the cauli-
flower or cook in boilingsalted water until softbut not mushy. Drainvery well, return to potand shake over high heatto get rid of any excessmoisture. Now either putit in processor or beatuntil smooth in mixer. Ifusing processor, pulseuntil it’s smooth as youlike. Beat in lemon juice,butter and half & halfuntil it’s the consistencyyou want. Usually 1/2 cupof liquid is sufficient, butit depends upon the sizeof the cauliflower. Sprin-kle with parsley for col-or.
