UNION TWP. —What’s next?That’s the question West

Clermont Local School DistrictBoard of Education membersandresidentswereasking in thewake of the defeat of the dis-trict’s tax-hike proposal Nov. 5.

The 5.8-mill additional tax-hike proposal was defeated byvoters 8,404 to 6,604.

“At some point money willrun out,” said board memberDenise Smith, an incumbentcandidate who was not re-elect-ed.

Smith, along with outgoing

board memberJoAnn Beamer,asked how thedistrict will pro-ceed followingthe treasurer’sreport during theNovember meet-ing.

The districtwarned it could potentially beplaced in fiscal emergency bythe state if the levy failed topass.

Treasurer Alanna Croppersaid the district is currently in“fiscal caution” and will con-tinue to be monitored by theOhio Department of Education.

Cuts have beenmade said Crop-per, adding thatrecent conces-sions by teachershave saved thedistrict severalmillion dollars.

Superinten-dent Keith Kline

said “a disconnect” was evidentbetween what he had heardfrom the community at variousmeetings and how voters re-sponded at the polls.

“Staff will continue to workhard with the resources it has,”he said.

BoardPresidentDougYoung

saidparentsmay likely respondto further cuts bymoving out ofthe district or sending theirchildren to other schools.

“I think thiswill have a detri-mental affect,” said Young re-garding the levy defeat. “With-out additional revenue we willbe hurting.”

Some residents also ex-pressed concerns.

Union Township residentRon Higgins said he feared nothaving “a single educator” onthe board come 2014.

“My greatest concern isn’tlower taxes, it’s the educationalwelfare of the students,” hesaid.

ANOTHER LEVY?AWest Clermont school levycould be a possibility in 2014– or maybe not dependingwho is asked.Full story, A2

UNION TWP. — Officials inUnion Township and other pub-licagenciesare involved inase-ries of moves that will enrichthe township’s coffers by morethan $8 million while helpingJungleJim’s InternationalMar-

ket finance anexpansion at itsEastgate loca-tion.

Here’s how itis unfolding, ac-cording to AndyKuchta, directorof ClermontCounty Commu-nity and Eco-

nomic Development.» The Clermont County Port

Authority agreed in Septemberto essentially adopt JungleJim’s Eastgate expansion plansas an economic-developmentproject.

» Earlier thismonth, theportauthority voted to issue up to$23.5 million in bonds to helpJungle Jim’s temporarily buyand make improvements to thenearly 41-acre site where “TheShoppes at Jungle Jim’s East-gate” mall at 4450 EastgateSouth Drive is located.

Theproperty isownedbytheUnion Township CommunityImprovement Corporation, theeconomic-development arm ofthe township.

Jungle Jim’s, through its af-filiate, the Noble Family East-gate Co., has been leasing theproperty from the communityimprovement corporation.

»Noble Family Eastgate

now is exercising its previouslynegotiated right to buy theproperty for $8.5 million.

» The Clermont County PortAuthority will purchase theproperty from the Noble Fam-ily Eastgate with bond pro-ceeds.

“As of today, the bonds havenotyetbeen issued,but theyarecurrently being marketed bythe port authority’s underwrit-er,” Kuchta said.

The port authority will alsoallow Noble Family Eastgate touse proceeds from the sale ofthebonds to satisfyoutstandingobligations currently securedby thepropertyand tomake im-provements there, includingthe construction of more retailspace.

Bond proceeds will not beused to acquire more property.

» The Union TownshipBoard of Trustees in July had

created a “Special Improve-ment District” comprised ofJungle Jim’s site in Eastgate.

»Nov. 14, Union Townshipagreed to, for a maximum of 20years, annually bill propertyowners in Jungle Jim’s specialimprovement district a specialassessment to pay off the bondsthe Clermont County Port Au-thority issued.

The district was created atthe request of the Union Town-ship Community ImprovementCorporation, the property own-er, with the blessing of JungleJim’s.

“The special assessmentsare in addition to, not in lieu of,property taxes,” Kuchta said.

“The normal real estateproperty taxes will still con-tinue to be paid.

“The purpose of the specialimprovement district is to im-pose a special assessment on

the property, at the request ofthe property owner, to generateadditional revenue to pay forpublic services,” Kuchta said.

“The additional payments tothe (special improvement dis-trict) will be for purposes ofmaking bond payments.”

» The port authority eventu-ally will sell the property backto the Union Township Commu-nity Improvement Corporationfor $1 and the community im-provement corporation willonce again become JungleJim’s landlord in Eastgate.

So why this series of salesonly to have the property re-turn to the ownership of theCommunity Improvement Cor-poration?

“Each of the agencies in-volved in this transaction havespecial skill sets that they arebringing to the table,” Kuchta

said.“The port authority’s role as

aconduit issuer isobviously im-portant because the bond mar-ket is very familiar with portauthority-issued bonds on pro-jects such as this one.

“The Union Township Com-munity Improvement Corpora-tion has an intimate under-standingofJungleJim’sandtheproperty itself, the CommunityImprovement Corporation hasalready servedasNobleFamilyEastgate’s landlord for the pastfew years and the CommunityImprovement Corporation hasagreed to continue to commitits resources to administer thenew lease toNobleFamilyEast-gate,” Kuchta said.

“The lease payments, con-sisting basically of the specialassessments, will help servicethe bond debt.

“In consideration of thatcommitment and to coordinateefficient use of local economicdevelopment resources, theport authority will convey theproperty to the Community Im-provement Corporation,”Kuchta said.

» Annual debt service pay-ments are scheduled to beginDec. 1, 2014, and are currentlyestimated to be nearly $1.9 mil-lion.

“The final sale price and in-terest rate of the bonds willlikely result in a slight adjust-ment to that amount,” Kuchtasaid.

What are Jungle Jim’s plansfor the Eastgate location?

UNION TWP. — A WestClermont school levycould be a possibility in2014.

However, the district’snewest school boardmembers are consideringother alternatives.

Prior to the defeat of a5.8-mill additional tax-hike proposal Nov. 5, Su-perintendent Keith Klinesaid another levy wouldbe put on the ballot in 2014if it failed.

He said the millagewould also likely be high-er and that the districtcould potentially be put in

a state of Fiscal Emergen-cy.

A school district canbeplaced inFiscalEmergen-cy by the state auditor ifboth of these conditionsexist:

(1) An operating deficithas been certified for thecurrent fiscal year by theauditor of state, and thecertifiedoperatingdeficitexceeds 8 per cent of theschool district's generalfund revenue for the pre-ceding fiscal year;

(2) A majority of thevoting electors have notvoted in favor of levying atax that the auditor ofstate expects will raiseenough additional reve-nue to meet the projecteddeficit.

If the district is placedin the Fiscal Emergencycategory a five-membercommission would be ap-pointed by state and localgovernment to controldistrict finances.

However, incomingboard members Jim Lew-is, Mark Merchant andSteve Waldmann havesaid they are not in favorof a tax-hike proposal atthis time.

“Right now I sincerelydoubt (the superinten-dent) will get board ap-proval to put (a levy) on

the ballot any time soon,”said Lewis.

“The people spokepretty loudly (during theelection).

Merchant said he isalso reticent to put anoth-er levy on the ballot.

“Thatdoesn’tmeanfor-ever,” he said. “But todayI cannot support a levy.”

Waldmann, who is abusiness manager for theKings Local School Dis-trict, said a thoroughanalysis of district fi-nances is needed “beforewe can consider what op-tionsmightbeavailable tous.”

“I think it’s prematureto decide if there needs tobe a levy at this point,” hesaid.

However, the newcom-ers vary in how they planto address funding chal-lenges in the district.

Lewis has suggestedshared services.

He said transportationand food services could

potentially be sharedwithanother district. Lewissaid outsourcing some ad-ministrative positionsshould also be a consider-ation.

Merchant said hewants to conduct a thor-ough review of the dis-trict’s budget and that sal-aries are a consideration.“Thiswhole thingneedstobe turned upside downand shaken out,” he saidabout the budget.

Merchant said the indi-vidual schools can play arole. “The schools havetheir own budgets, andthey need to be combedthrough even more inten-sively than they have inthe past,” he said.

He said Fiscal Emer-gency is an issue whichwill need to be addressedand that he wants inputfrom the superintendentand staff.

When asked if staffingreductions were an op-tion, Waldmann respon-ded “unfortunately, it’sthe nature of the beastwhen you have an opera-tion that is 80 percent per-sonnel.”

“That is not to implyanything,” he said.

“That is just the realityof public education.”

BATAVIA TWP. — Sev-eral foliage clearingprojects should makeBatavia Township roadssafer.

During the Novem-bermeeting of the Bata-via Township Board ofTrustees, ServiceDirec-tor Ken Embry detailedseveral projects to im-prove motorist visibili-ty.

Embry said the town-ship will work with Cin-cinnati Gas and Electricto clear three ash treesfrom the right of way onJudd Road.

This has been an on-going problem, said Em-bry.

He said a joint effortto clear the trees shouldbe completed thismonth.

Additionally, Embrysaid foliage on a cornerof Greenbriar Roadnear Old State Route 32will also be removed.

Embry said bus driv-ers have complainedabout visibility whenpicking up and droppingoff students at the site.He said installation of aconvex mirror had beenconsidered, but was notfeasible.

The property ownerat that location has giv-en permission to clearobstructing foliage at

that corner, said Embry.“Visibility is not per-

fect, but it made a hugedifference,” he said.

Embry also providedan update on a requestby Clermont CountyPost 3954 to erect sometype of barrier at thecorner of GreenbriarRoad and Old StateRoute 32.

Representativesfrom the Post said alighted sign affixed to awood pole at that loca-tion has frequently beenhit by motorists. Theyhad asked if a pylon orguard rail could be in-stalled.

Embry said the Postwould have to get per-mission from the countyto install any typeofbar-rier since it would be inthe right of way. He saidany type of “obstruc-tion” in the right of waywould likelyberejected.

Trustee Randy Perryrecommended contact-ing the Post to discussother potential options.

Embry said a poten-tial solution could be torelocate the sign.

CLERMONT COUNTY — Thebasketballs were officiallyrolled out Nov. 1, but prepara-tion began way before that forboys high school basketballteams in the Community Jour-nal Clermont coverage area.The following is a rundown ofthe local squads.

AmeliaThe Barons are defending

Southern Buckeye Conference-American Division champs un-der last year’s Coach of theYear, CraigMazzaro. In his17thyear, Mazzaro should rack uphis 200th careerwin this seasonas he needs just seven.

Four starters return from an18-5 (9-1 SBAAC-American)team in 6-foot-5 forward Tom-my Hacker, 6-foot-3 junior for-ward Garrett Weaver, 6-foot-1senior guard Jack Mickler and6-foot-1 junior guard KeeganCarson.

Hacker is a three-year start-er and reigning SBAAC-Ameri-can Player of the Year, whileWeaver made first team as asophomore.MicklerandCarsonare all also in their third year onvarsity.

“We have experienced play-ers and good size,” Mazzarosaid. “Three guys are 6-5 ormore and all are contributors.We must improve our shootingand rebounding to have a spe-cial season.”

Adding to Hacker’s lengthare 6-foot-6 juniorT.J.Reed and6-foot-6 freshman Ryan Turner.

Amelia begins the season atMount Healthy Dec. 2. They re-turn home against WesternBrown Dec. 6.

BataviaThe Bulldogs finished 9-14

overall, 7-4 I theSouthernBuck-eye Conference National Divi-sion, good for third in the leaguebehind Georgetown and Wil-liamsburg.

Head coach Mike Hatfieldgraduated five players fromthat team, including two full-time starters and another part-timer.

Senior Kyle Schmitgen re-turns for his third season as thestarting point guard. ClassmateChris Borque, who was SBCplayer of the year in soccer inthe fall, returns at forward.

Joining them is a rare four-sport athlete in Austin Sam-mons, who played golf and rancrosscountry in thefall andalso

plays baseball in the spring.Senior Nick Herron should be asolid post presence.

Hatfield has a pair of fresh-men who will see plenty of var-sity action, if not start, for theBulldogs. Guard Jacob McElf-resh – sonofBataviagirls coachJason McElfresh – is an excel-lent shooter. Garrett Kraussstands 6-foot-4 and should con-tribute down low.

Hatfield said the SBC crownruns through Georgetown

again. “Other than that, I thinkeveryone is going to be kind ofequal,” he said. “There are a lotof new coaches in the league –CNE, Felicity, Blanchester – soit’s kind of hard to say whatthey’re going to do, but I thinkwe’ll compete.

“I thinkwehave thepotentialto be an up-and-down (the floor)

kindof team. I thinkwe’regoingto shoot it much better than wehave in the past.”

TheBulldogsopenNov. 30onthe road at St. Bernard.

Glen EsteThe Trojans struggled in the

Eastern Cincinnati Conferencelast season at 4-19 (0-12 league)but do return four starters. Allfour were also main contrib-utors on the football team, sothey’ve had a fewweeks of run-ning without pads.

Coach Dave Caldwell’s topreturning scorer is 6-foot-3 sen-iorTylerFlaniganwhowasECChonorable mention averaging8.2 points and 5. 1 rebounds pergame. Tyler Burdick is an un-dersized 6-foot-1 center whomakes up for his lack of heightwith incredible toughness andtenacity.

GlenEste’sguardsareLoganHarris and Kyle Keszei. Keszeiplays point and was the third-leading scorer last season at 7.3per game. Flanigan, Burdick,Harris and Keszei are all three-year starters.

“I like our experience andathleticism,” Caldwell said. “Aswe went to a youth movementtwo years ago, we are countingon this year for it to comeupbigfor us.”

Starting a professionalsoccer team in Cincinnatiis a challengingendeavor.Many have tried and, ulti-mately, fell short of theirgoals.

David Satterwhite andthe Cincinnati Saintshope that a recentmergerwith Louisville’s RiverCity Legends will boostthe Saints’ fortunes andlead to longevity.

The Saints have beenaround since 2009, pro-viding professionalmen’sand women’s teams aswell as a youth program.The Saints have part-nered with the Legendsand will play the 2013-14season in theProfessionalArenaSoccerLeaguepre-mier division as theRiverCity Saints. The partner-ship will broaden thereach of both programsand should increase theorganization’s chances ofmoving up in the profes-sional ranks.

“Aswe start to look forplayers outside of thecity, we are going to con-tinue to set the bar higherandhigher everyyear.Bycontinuing to set the barhigher and higher, thismeans that Cincinnati’syouth players will be ableto see a higher level ofplay, right here in theirown backyard,” said Sat-terwhite, the Saints’president and CEO.

“Therefore, all playersin the area that want toreach the level of the Cin-cinnati Saints will have toimprove their game tokeep up with the higherstandards that we willcontinue to set, thus in-creasing the level of playoverall in the Cincinnatiarea.”

Several local playerspopulate the rosters ofthe Saints and LadySaints, including siblingsSam and Liz Miller. Bothplayed for AndersonHigh School and the Uni-versity of Cincinnati.Sam is a coach for Cincin-

nati Kings HammerAcademy, and plays forthe Saints when hiscoaching schedule per-mits. He is excited aboutthe partnership with Riv-er City and what it meansfor the future of Cincin-nati soccer.

“Dave Satterwhite hasbeen aggressive in creat-ing partnerships withsponsors and now withanother fairly local club.Having professionalteams with a youth sys-temhelpsgiveknowledgeof the game back to kidsand also creates a built-infan base,” Sam Millersaid. “As far asmovingupprofessional levels, youhave tohaveasustainablebusiness model that canattract fans consistently,which hopefully leads togoodplayerswhoarepaidto join the club. Top leveloutdoor and indoor clubsspend good money onplayers and also possiblyhave a nice venue theycan call home.”

For the 2013-14 season,

the Saints are calling theTri-County Soccerplexhome. Cincinnati soccerfans will recognize manyfamiliar faces on the ros-ters, including severalwho played for the Cin-cinnati Kings. Now, Ken-tucky soccer fanswillmi-gratenorth to follow theirfavorite players.

“Building a roster ofvery talented players atthis level is definitely noteasy but we have actuallyrelied on our currentplayers to recommendplayers that they haveplayed with,” said Satter-white. “We have built avery good team that wayover the last four years.We now have the re-sources and name recog-nition to go to other citieslooking for players.”

Team chemistry is im-portant, especially play-ing in one of the lowerprofessional levels. For-tunately, theSaintshaveagood understanding ofwhat they need to do tobuild soccer interest in

this region. It goes be-yond just performing onthe pitch.

“Most of the currentplayers have Cincinnatior Dayton ties and haveknown each other for afew years,” saidMiller. “Ithink what all the guyshave in common is thatlove playing and wantedtocontinue theircareerata good level after collegeand in this town theSaintsare the best option. Theguys get along easilywithcommon goals in mind togrow soccer here.”

Satterwhite hopes thatthemergerwith theRiverCity Legends will have atrickle-down effect onyouth soccer in the re-gion, which in turn willbroaden the organiza-tion’s fan and sponsorbase. The more fans theSaintshave, themorerev-enue they can bring in;revenue is thekey tomov-ing up in the professionalranks. The first fouryears of the programwere spent focusing on

building infrastructureof players, coaches, staffand sponsors. The con-solidationwithRiver Citywill play a big role in theorganization’s next step,of getting out in the com-munity and building alarge fan base.

“One thing Iwill not doas the President and CEOof the club is to jump intothese higher pro leaguesbefore we have the fanbase to support those lev-els. This has been the big-gest mistake of everyprofessional soccer teamin Cincinnati before usand why every team be-fore the Saints have fold-ed,” said Satterwhite. “Ihave made promises tomyplayers, staffandfansthat we will always bearound even if it takes us30years toget to thehigh-erpro levels.Ourplayers,staff and fans have in-vested a lot time, energyand money to support theCincinnati Saints. I re-fuse to let that go unre-warded.”

the sectional finals.Head coach TimMona-

han graduated five sen-iors from that club, in-cluding three starters.

Two senior starters re-turn in guard Danny Bry-an and post player BrianCorpuz.

Junior Greg Kentshould land the startingpoint guard role, while atrio of classmates in SeanByrne, Kyle Morrisroeand Jacob Bradley com-pete for the remainingstarting positions.

“We’ll be better as wego along in the season,”Monahan said. “We couldtake some lumps early.We won’t even get ourfootball guys back until(Nov. 24), so we haven’tbeen able to practice withthe whole team.

“Once we get thoseguys back, we’ll need toget them in basketballshape. We’re not real big,so we’re going to try toplayaquickergame. I feellike once we have every-body in shape we can goprettydeepandkeepcom-ing at you.”

Defensively, look forthe Rockets to stick totheir traditional man-to-manprincipleswithanoc-casional zone wrinkleavailable depending onthe opponent.

Monahan said Baconshould be the team to beat

in thenewGCLCoed,withPurcell Marian a possibledark-horse contender.

Miami ValleyChristian Academy

With all five returningstarters from a 9-13 (5-11Ohio Valley AthleticLeague) team, coach PatPugh hopes to get the Li-ons to the form they hadwhen they last won aleague title in 2011.

MVCA is still youngwith just one senior start-er in Gavin Carson. Therest of the lineup is juniorMalique Ward and sopho-moresJamieCarson,JakeKaiser and Tony Caner.

Ward is ineligible untilthe second quarter butcould become the school’sfirst 1,000 point scorer bythe end of the season ashe’s been on varsity sincehis freshman year.

“Having everyoneback from last year’s veryyoung team is exciting,”Pugh said. “Last year wehad eight freshmen play-ing a lot of varsity min-utes. We are anxious tosee how the guys play thisyear with a season undertheir belts.”

The remainder of theLions are sophomoresGriffin Dickerson, AdamMcCoy, Bransen Vilardoand Ben Huxtable.

MVCA opens at River-

viewEast onDec. 3. Theirhome opener is with Hill-crest on Dec. 6. Becausethis is their probationaryseasonbeforebeinga full-fledged OHSAA membernext year, the Lions canagain participate in theOhio Christian SchoolsAthletic Association tour-nament.

New RichmondThe Lions went 11-12

last season, finishingthird in the SouthernBuckeye ConferenceAmerican at 5-5. Headcoach Brian McMoniglegraduated four seniorsfrom that team, but onlyone full-time starter.

Returning are seniorsJosh Heiden at guard, Ca-leb Hayward at forwardandJohnErnst in thepost.Ernst could join the 1,000-point club this season andwork his way into the top10 or 15 scorers in schoolhistory. Also back is ju-nior small forward C.J.Grogan.

A pair of juniors in Isa-iah Young and BryceKroeger vie for the pointguard position. ClassmateJohn Buckingham –youngerbrother of recentMinnesota signee JosieBuckingham for the NewRichmond girls team –provides good size at 6-foot-6.

Sophomore FrankieTaulbee shouldcontributeat shooting guard.

“Wegopretty deep thisyear,” McMonigle said.“They’re getting after itin practice and workinghard,pushingeachother.”

Look for the Lions tostickwith theman-to-mandefense McMonigle fa-vors and to run when it’sprudent.

“It takes a mentaltoughness to play managainst everybody,” hesaid. “I think our kidshave that kind of tough-ness.Wewould like to runwhen we have the oppor-tunity, but we also want tomake sure we get a goodshot, not just hurryupandshoot.”

McMonigle said de-fending championAmeliais the team to beat in theSBC American, with hisclub,Goshen andWesternBrown pushing the Bar-ons.

TheLions open the sea-son Dec. 3 at Deer Parkbefore coming home Dec.6 to host Goshen.

Head coach DanMcKibben lost five sen-iors – four of them start-ers – to graduation fromthat team, but he doesn’tmind.

“We should be able tocompete,” he said. “Withasmanypeople aswe lost,we should be able to sur-prise a few people outthere.”

The lone returningstarter is senior guard

Colton Brown. A trio offootball players freshfrom their first homeplayoff season in morethan 30 years should findthemselves in the startingrotation. Among them aresenior forward NickFelts, junior forward JoshWells and junior guardAustin Horn.

special guest and Enquirersports personalities atMoerlein Lager House,Tuesday nights at 7pm.


When cutting a birthdaycake we try to give all the kidsequal size pieces. The simplestway is to use a straight knife.Each piece looks more or lessthe same, which decreases thechance that a guest will com-plain about getting a smallerpiece. This simple method ofdivision has apparently notreached the state house. Whenone looks at the map of con-gressional districts, one has towonder what sort of mathe-matics was at work.

The congressional districtshave the most irregular bor-ders seen on the map of theearth. The 2nd District coversPike, Highland, Brown, Adams

and Clermontcounties. Italso has anenclave inHamiltonCounty. Madei-ra is in it. Indi-an Hill, to theeast of it isn’t.Indeed the 2ndDistrictreaches all theway west to

Mount Healthy. The first dis-trict manages to cover some ofHamilton County, squeezethrough a corridor about twomiles wide and then suddenlyexpand and cover most of War-ren County. In the 11th District

Akron is disconnected from itssurroundings and connectedthrough a narrow neck toCleveland. The 6th Districtstarts at the southern border ofthe state across fromHunting-ton, West Virginia, and extendsall the way to Youngstown.

It’s not that our state legisla-tures don’t know how to domath. They do it very well.This practice of drawing upstrange maps, otherwiseknown as gerrymandering, hasbeen practiced for 200 years inthis country. It is practicedboth by Republicans and Dem-ocrats. The party leaders aretrying to make sure the dis-tricts are divided in a way

which will help their party stayin power. They are trying toeat the cake and keep it all tothemselves.

What happens is that in-stead of having a governmentfor the people, by the peoplewe are stuck with a govern-ment for the parties, by theparties. The possibility of realdebate and possible changebecomes impossible. The mi-norities in each district or statefeel their votes don’t count andthey have no chance of chang-ing government. The electedofficials don’t represent theinterests of all their constitu-ents. How can U.S. Rep. Wen-strup represent the farmer in

Pike County and the urbanpopulation of Mount Healthy100 miles away? If the rulingparties would take a moralstance and make the mapmorelogical, government wouldimprove. Instead of talking tothe interest groups controllingeach party, the representativeswould have to communicatewith a bigger, more diverseaudience - the voters.

You can have a look at thecongressiona l district map athttp://bit.ly/SFSZRU. Let yourstate representative knowwhat you think about it, wheth-er it looks logical or not.

Last week’s questionDoyou think President Obama

will be able to keep his promisethat Americans will be able tokeep canceled health insurancepolicies for a year as companiesand consumers adjust to the newdemands of the health care law?Why or why not?

“Can we all stop and take abreath right now? There hasbeen so much bashing of thepresident that I don’t want tohear it any more.

“Irecognizethat thenewsys-tem is not working.Many timesin my life I have experienced acomputer program needingtime to actually work.

I also recognize that manypeople are waiting to enroll inhealth care and that many peo-ple cannot afford to lose thehealth care they currently en-joy. I do believe this situationwill improve, the president’spromisewill bekept andwewillall get what we need. Coolerheads must prevail.”

E.E.C.

“No he won’t be able to keepthat promise! He never intend-ed to keep it! It was a total lieand he knew it.

“The purpose of Obamacareis a mass redistribution ofwealth. It has nothing to dowithhealth care reform. It has ev-erything to dowith governmentcontrol and socialist policy.

“Sadly, it must be concededthat the president of the UnitedStates of America is an arro-gant, narcissistic, bold-facedliar.”

R.W.J.

“‘Keep his promise???’ Thislying cypher is incapable oftruth!!!”

J.G.

“I heard Speaker Boehnersay the other day that “Americahas the best health-care deliv-erysystemin theworld.” Ifhe isthatbadlyoutof touchwithreal-

ity he shouldn’t be allowed towin another election.

My personal wealth waswiped out by this system. I wasforced to pay endlessly risingpremiums (which ended at$20,000 per year, when I couldno longerafford them)andmas-sive deductibles on top of that.

“I have liens on my housefrom debt collectors who weretoo lazy to try to contact my in-surance company to find outwhy they weren’t getting paidand who wouldn’t tell me whatthe charges were for so I couldtackle the insurance companyon my own.

“I have never been sickenough to be hospitalized and Ihave paid full rates for the mi-nor problems I have due to thedeductibles. And because Iwasn’t able to qualify for agroup plan the hospitals anddoctors chargedmemuchmorethan other people pay for thesame treatment.

The reason is that I have onechild with a spontaneous muta-tion genetic disease and twoother family members who had‘pre-existing conditions’ duringthe time I was insured. My ownfamily thinks I could have“shopped around” for insur-ance, but they never actually

tried to do it.“The best I could do was to

get a policy like the one I al-ready had, which wouldn’t cov-er my family for a year duringwhich I would have had to paydouble premiums to make surewe didn’t have a crisis thatwasn’t covered by the old poli-cy.

“Howmany people who votefor Republicans can afford$40,000 per year formedical in-surance?

“The Affordable Care Acttakescareofmostof the issuesIface, but it’s too late. I still havetogo to court toget the liens lift-ed because judges imposedthem on the word of the insur-ance companies without givingme a chance to present thefacts. And I can’t be sure I willget rid of them all.

“No one deserves our sup-port if they have criticism, butaren’t willing to propose solu-tions. And these problems don’tjust affect a handful of unfortu-nate citizens.

“The insurance companiesare out of control and the hospi-tal corporations are out of con-trol. Doctors are part of theproblem, because theydon’t seeearning 10 times as much astheir patients to be a problem.

“And all of the Republicansdeserve to be shaken out of thestupor they have fallen intowith their falsenumbersonwel-fare and uninsured.”

N.F.

“Yes, despite all the anti-fed-eral government propagandaand (conscious and uncon-scious) racism to the contrary, Ido believe President Obamawill be able to keep this promisefor the year-long coverage ex-tension. He wants to help thepoor and uninsured get afford-able healthcare. After all thistime, that should not be so diffi-cult to understand.”

TRog

“The insurance industry willfigure it out. They have a win-win situation no matter whatwith all that cash available andthey’ll get plenty of ours.

“I feel sorry for progres-sives, having carried their ex-periment arrogantly, makingpromises. Balance is the key,voters.”

K.P.

“President Obama’s firstpromise was ‘Any Americanswho want to keep their currentplanswill keep them-period!’ Itis impliedby the Journal’s ques-tion that Obama has failed tokeep that promise. Now you are

asking, basically,will Obamabeable to keep his new promisethat anyAmericanswhowant tokeep their current plans willkeep them until next year – ifthe insurance company allowsit. Don’t make me laugh.”

R.V.

“First, let’s be clear, that wasNOT a promise. It was just an-other one of his campaign lies.He knew from the start thatmost Americans could not keeptheir current plans since theycould not possibly conform toObamacare (eg. seniors withmaternity coverage?).

“Secondly, this scheme de-pends on overcharging the cur-rently insured and young whowill not participate. Thirdly,when the employer mandatekicks-in 70percent of thosewhoget insurance throughworkwillbe canceled. Medicaide sign-ups are growing rapidlythrough the exchanges. This isall by design on the way to Oba-ma’s goal of a single payer so-cialized medicine!!”

D.J.H.

“I truly believe that Presi-dentObamacares deeply for allAmericans, isdoingwhathecanto alleviate the canceled healthcare policies and to help theAmerican people get throughthis. No matter what your opi-nion is of the Affordable CareAct it is doing good, insuringthose who could not get cover-age due to pre-existing condi-tions.

“Have cancer (very scaryword) or any other life alteringdisease? It’s covered now. It is ablessing to be able to have adultchildren age 26 or under to beincluded in their parents’ plan.Too many spout criticism with-out fully knowing all of thefacts, just their opinions andothers’ rumors.

“Let time correct the dis-crepancies, let the health caretake effect, let it work into thenext year, and then see wherethe majority of Americansstand.”

J.B.

“This now depends on the in-surancecompanies themselves.Under the ACA all plans mustprovide a certain level of cover-age. This was intended to elim-inate the threat of financial ruinthrough healthcare costs in theevent of catastrophic illness.Isn’t that what we expect frominsurance?

“Why didn’t the insurancecompanies simply upgrade pol-icies to comply? In some cases

these companies are using thelaw as an excuse to eliminateless profitable plans and mis-lead panicked customers intobuyingtheirmoreexpensivere-placement plans.

“In most cases cancellationisdue to the fact that these ‘junkplans’ are recipes for disaster ifthe holder has the audacity toget sick. They may not offerhospitalization or prescriptioncoverage. Insurancecompaniesare now required to disclosethis. Many may not want to ad-mit how inadequate their prod-ucts really were.

“If you hold one of these non-compliant plans do you reallywant to keep it? This could be alifesaving change. But a prom-ise is a promise, right?”

K.M.

“I do not think that this newpromise is any more genuinethan the previous ones. It tookthe insurance companies threeand a half years to prepare formeeting the guidelines thatKathleen Sebelius added in af-ter the ACAhad been passed bythe Democratic-controlledHouse and Senate and had beensignedinto law, justoneofmanyregulations added in later.

“First, it isn’t even clearwhether it is legal for the presi-dent to stipulate this new prom-ise, but I will readily acknowl-edge that this has not stoppedhim previously. In any case, thepresident does not really wantthe insurance companies to pullback on the cancellation letters,nor does he expect them to beable to do so. He obviously rec-ognizes that the very most theycould possibly do is to createnew plans to offer up to the endof 2014, but these could not beexactly the plans originallyheld; and they would cost more,just as the exchange plans will.

“This latest ‘promise’ wasjust an attempt to quiet the dis-content over the cancellationletters, those cancellations be-ing the original intended result,andanecessity, inorder toforcepeople into signing on with anACA exchange plan.

“The president knew that hispromises of ‘You can keep yourhealth insuranceplan if you likeit, you can keep your doctor’were rubbish, a fact ofwhich heacknowledged during a video-taped committee meeting in2010.

He will just keep talking,probably offering still morepromises thatmeannothing,be-lievinghe can swaypeople backinto believing and trusting himagain.

NEXT QUESTIONThe Ohio House has passed a billwhich would redefine self-defense and circumstanceswhere the use of force trumpsthe duty to retreat to publicsettings, such as stores andstreets. Under current law,residents need not retreat be-fore using force if they arelawfully in their homes, vehiclesor the vehicle of an immediatefamily member. Is this goodlegislation? Why or why not?

NOVEMBER 27, 2013 • COMMUNITY JOURNAL • B3LIFE

I got some unexpectedexercise today. The windwas blowing so hardwhen I hung up theclothes that it literallyblewmost of them off theline right after I put theclothespins on the last of

the socks.Now Ididn’t mindchasingthe dishtowelsacross thefield, but itwas a littleembarrass-ing to seemy “un-mention-

ables” flying freely to-ward the road. My girl-friend called me laterand said she was drivingby when all this hap-pened. “Made mechuckle,” she said. Iguess it’s what we call acloud with a silver lining.

Giovanna’sgluten-freemeatballs andspaghetti

You know her as Jo-anne Trimpe, author oftwo Holy Chow cook-books, the first of whichis “Holy Chow” and thesecond, new one is “HolyChow Gluten Free.” Youmay recognize her as atelevision personalityand personal chef toArchbishop DennisSchnurr. I know her asGiovanna, and we havebecome friends and col-leagues. Giovanna decid-ed to write another cook-book with gluten-freerecipes because Arch-bishop Schnurr is glutenintolerant, yet enjoysgood food.

“I was nervous atfirst. I didn’t knowmuchabout gluten intoleranceso I knew I needed tolearn how to cook glutenfree, but with all theflavor of my originalrecipes,” she said. Well,Giovanna has nailed it.Her book has really good,

doable gluten-free reci-pes, from appetizers likecrab cakes that startyour meal with flair todinners that are enter-tainment worthy. Hereggplant Parmesan isunbelievably good.There’s a special sectionfrom friends and family.I contributed recipes forthe dessert section. Ev-ery recipe has a photoalong with a Bible quoterelating to it, so you arefeeding both body andsoul.

I chose Giovanna’smeatball and spaghettirecipe since that’s a uni-versal favorite and a nicechange from all the tur-key we eat this time ofyear. Check out her web-site http://holychow-book.com/ for informa-tion to purchase the book.Also available at Joseph-Beth Booksellers inRookwood and sells for$16.95.

Preparemeatballs

11⁄2 pounds of ground chuck1 teaspoon kosher salt1⁄2 teaspoon ground pepper1 egg white11⁄2 tablespoons choppedfresh parsley or 1teaspoon dry

1⁄2 cup soymilk or any typelactose-free milk

11⁄2 cups bread crumbs

Now, this is where it isimportant to use gluten-free bread crumbs. Youcan buy frozen gluten-free bread and, usingyour food processor,make 11⁄2 cups.

Work the meatballmixture with your hands.

Keep hands wet whilerolling meat into abouttwo-inch meatballs. Placemeatballs on a large platewhile you finish. Thisshould yield about 18-20meatballs.

Prepare simple toma-to sauce

Put 1⁄4 cup extra virginolive oil in large saucepan on medium heat. Stirin 1⁄2 cup chopped onionsand cook for 3 minutes.Add 3 cloves mincedgarlic and cook for only 2or 3 minutes and be care-ful not to burn garlic.Add 2 teaspoons Koshersalt and 1 teaspoon pep-per and simmer for an-other 2 or 3 minutes.Then add two 32 oz. canswhole tomatoes, crushedwith your hands (or freshtomatoes that are equalto the same amount).Cook for 5 minutes. Add 1teaspoon dry basil orabout 8-10 fresh basilleaves. Now add two 15oz. cans tomato sauceand two 6 oz. cans tomatopaste. Rinse out cans toget the most of the sauce.Measure out two cups ofthe juice/sauce water andadd that to sauce. Sim-mer on low for 20 to 30minutes for marinarasauce only, or 45 minutesto an hour if you are

adding uncooked meat-balls.

Instant vanilla saucefor bread pudding,cake, etc.

OK, trust me on thisone. Instead of makingvanilla sauce with eggs,etc. from scratch, justmelt good quality vanillaice cream slowly until it’sslightly warm. Whatyou’ll wind up with is anot-too-thick sauce that isdelicious on bread pud-ding or drizzled into hotchocolate.

Howdy Folks,Last week was a busy

one for Ruth Ann andme. On Wednesday eve-ning we held a LionsClub Zone meeting hereat Bethel. I will explainabout the Lions Zonemeeting, there are fiveLions Clubs in zone fiveof District 13-H. We areto have three zonemeetings per year. RuthAnn and I are the zonechairmen for zone five.The District Governoris Clark VaanScyoc. Hewill be this for one yearalong with his lovelywife, Lion Miriam.

The reason for thezone meetings is that itlets everyone hear howeach club works to helpsupport their communi-ty. For instance eyeresearch, buying eyeglasses for students andseniors etc.

The Bethel LionsClub adopted a family

to furnisha Thanks-givingmeal andhaveadoptedtwo sen-iorsthroughthe Cler-mont Sen-ior Ser-

vices for Christmasgifts. The club as youknow was very helpfulin the tornado of Mos-cow, Tate Township andsome of Brown County.

The club have fourpancake breakfastseach year. The nextpancake breakfast willbe 7:30 till 10:30 a.m.,Dec. 21 at the Betel-Tate High School. Thecost is $5 and $3 for 12years and under.

The Bethel Club isalso involved with theschool in many ways.Making donations to

Colorado for the floodrelief and most recentto Illinois for the torna-do relief through theLions International.

Wednesday morningPast District GovernorFrank Hacker aftereating breakfast passedaway. This was a shockto the Lions Clubs. Heand his wife Judy wereplanning to come to theZone meeting that eve-ning here at Bethel.

The Lions Clubs arecollecting used eyeglasses and they aresent to other countrieswhere they are neededfor people that don’thave the money to buythem, so give your oldglasses to any Lion Clubmember.

Ruth Ann and I at-tended another funeralof a young lady that hasjudged the crafts at theGrange. Her motherViolet is a member of

the Monroe Grange.This young lady, LindaFaye was a very craftyperson making quiltsand other items thengiving some away toother folks. She was avery charitable person.On the memory cardwas this reading; Moth-er Dear, beautifulthings in this life aremanifold, tis true wecount the stars by thou-sands the birds, flowerstoo. The sunsets anddawning rare beautiesfar and near, but all thewide world over thereis just one Mother dear.

Thursday Ruth Annand I had our friendsMort and Barb here forthe noon meal. Mort hasbeen sick but is gettingbetter. They sure en-joyed the meal. Themenu was pot roastbeef, potatoes, carrots,deviled eggs, tossedsalad, breadmaker

bread and for desertapple crisp, coffee andcider for drinks. Thisgal of mine is a finecook and always sets agood table. Mort said,“this is real food” andthey enjoyed everybite.

We are busy in theworkshop when wehave the time makingjewelry boxes, woodbowls, bird feeders andbirdhouses for nextspring. We have a craftshow Nov. 23 at GoshenLions Club and willhave another show atMowrystown Schoolfrom 9 a.m. till 3 p.m. onDec. 7 They also have aChristmas parade withSanta Claus.

They have had theparade for many yearsand a good attendance.When we had the old1936 Case tractor wetook it and got in theparade. I enjoyed the

parade though it wascold.

Speaking about SantaClaus, The Milford Gar-den Center will havetheir train display andSanta on weekendsstarting soon.

Sunday the Owens-ville Historical Societyheld their meeting witha special speaker forVeterans Day. HowardDaugherty and wife itwas something the waythe soldiers lived andworked, everybodyenjoyed his talk.

Members of theGreater Cincinnati Re-tail Bakers Associationmake gingerbread mencookies anddonate a por-tion of the sales fromthese seasonal special-ties to help children whohave physical problemsor emotional concernsdue to the loss of some-one in their family

Buy aKid,Help aKid,No Kidding is the sloganchosen by Tom Davis, ofRegina Bakery in NorthBend, chairman of thisevent in its 22nd year.The size and price ofthese cookies vary frombakery to bakery, but thespirit prevails in all as noone wants to see a childhurting.

Bakers in the Cincin-nati area divide the pro-ceeds from their cookiesale betweenKindervelt,which provides state-of-

the-art equipment forChildren’s Hospital, andFernside, which hasgroups all over the cityand is an affiliate ofHos-pice of Cincinnati.

You can go into any ofthe participating storesand purchase the deco-rated gingerbread kids,or you can order themspecially decorated withyour child’s or grand-child’s name written onthem.

“I believe it is impor-tant that we donate someof our resources to char-ity,andthere isnotbetterway than to help hurtingchildren,” said GaryGotttenbusch from Ser-vatii Pastry Shop, andspokesman for theGreater Cincinnati Re-tail Bakers Association.
