MT. WASHINGTON — The Mt.Washington Community Coun-cil has voted in favor of a newdevelopment.

By a vote of 29 to 14, councilsupported a proposed develop-ment on Salem Hills Lane.

However, a number of thoseopposing the projectwere near-by residents on Salem HillsLane and Putnam Road.

The development will con-sist of 15 single family residen-tial homes, most of which willbe located on Salem Hills Lanewith several located on SalemRoad.

Described as cluster homesbecause of their close proximi-ty, most of the homes would bebuilt on a hillside, which the de-velopers said would still retaina significant level of its treesand vegetation even after con-struction of the homes.

According to the developers,Jim Kersting and Paul Darpelwith Harbour View Develop-ment, the homeswould be in theprice range of $500,000 to$700,000. Kersting said the tar-get market would likely be“empty-nesters.”

The developers said the im-pact on adjacent residentswouldbeminimal, butanumberof the resident remaineduncon-vinced citing concerns aboutaesthetics, sanitation, traffic

and hillside erosion.Specifics such as the design

of the homes had not been final-ized, but Kersting said no zon-ing variances would be neces-sary.

“What we’re asking for issupport of the plan,” said Dar-pel.

A number of the residents onSalem Hills Lane had concernsabout the potential impact ofthe development on their neigh-borhood.

“I think the character of theneighborhood will be compro-mised,” said Karen Bieszczak.

Bieszczak said she also feltthe development was too densefor the area.

Salem Hills Lane residentVictoria Jensen said the archi-tecture, which the developerssaid would likely be in a uni-form style, was not compatible.

Changes are coming to theTarget store on BeechmontAvenue.

The store, which straddlesthe border between Andersonand Union townships, beganremodeling in late December,and the project should be fin-ished by late March.

Oneof thebiggestupgradesis the expanded grocery sec-tion, which will include freshproduce and meat, as well asmore overall selection, saidJustin Sims, executive teamlead for the remodel.

There will also be freshbakery and an expanded dairysection with prices compara-ble to other stores, Sims said.

“The goal is to create a one-stop shop and add the conve-nience of a grocery,” he said.

“We want to refresh every-thingandwill fit in andexpandwithin that department. It willconsolidate and move aroundbut not lose the selection.”

Anderson Township resi-

dentKathyFuegen,who shopsat this Target a couple times amonth, didn’t know the storewas remodeling and said add-ing fresh produce, meat andother items is a great idea.

“I’m here to buy otherthings and would buy moregroceries here,” she said.

Other changes includediffer-ent layoutsforthecosmeticsandhome decor sections, as well asfocalpoints fornewbrandscom-ing to Target, Sims said.

The infants department re-model is almost finished, andthe guest services has beenmoved closer to the checkoutlanes at the front of the store.Sims said employees are will-ing to answer any questionsfromcustomers,but thegoal isfor the change to be subtle.

“Aside from the major de-partment moves, (the store)will be the same,” he said. “Wework overnight so as we openit’s still the same, and (custom-ers) can still shop.”

A grand re-opening isplannedfor springat thestore,8680 Beechmont Ave.

Target store onBeechmont toexpand groceryBy Lisa [email protected] Anderson Township is mak-

ing some changes to the OhioRiverfront Plan after residentsexpressed concern.

The main issue was whetheror not residents who live on thehillside above Kellogg Avenuewould be adequately protectedfrom light, noise or similar im-pacts from the newly createdentertainment district.

That new district includesRiver Downs racetrack, River-bendMusicCenterandConeyIs-landamusementpark,buttheen-tire plan encompasses the areabetween the Ohio River and In-terstate 275, fromSuttonRoad tothe Clermont County line.

“(The plan) needs somemod-ifications in order to protect theresidents,” attorney Joe Trauthsaid at a recent township trust-ees meeting.

Trauth is representing doz-ens of residents in the River-view Heights subdivision,which includes Kentuckyviewand Gwendolyn drives, andStratton Avenue off Four MileRoad.

Newdevelopment shouldnotcompromise the quiet enjoy-ment of neighboring residentialareas,Trauthwrote in a letter tothe township.Healsosuggestedthat any entertainment usesabuttingor incloseproximity to

residential uses must bufferand screen those residencesfrom sound, light, noise and vi-sual impacts.

Township Planning and Zon-ing Director Paul Drury saidthe entertainment district wasdifferent from the land usessuggested in the 2011 compre-hensive plan update becausePinnacle Entertainment, whichowns River Downs racetrack,bought property that had beenpreviously identified for clus-ter residences.

Drury said they adoptedsome of the buffer languageTrauth suggested, and the OhioRiverfront Plan will guide fu-ture development and main-tains the mixed-use theme forthe area. Each new develop-ment still has to go through zon-ingandother township reviews,Drury said.

“In no way does this planchange zoning,” Trustee RussJackson said. “It’s not hard andfast (regulations), it’s what peo-ple today think should happenover the next few years.”

Trustee Peggy Reis added

Some Anderson Township residents were concerned about the new entertainment district on KelloggAvenue having an impact on their homes. FILE PHOTO

MT. WASHINGTON —McNicholas High Schoolsports fans will see addi-tional improvements tothe athletic field thisspring.

In addition to a new

concrete plaza with stairsandaramp toprovideeas-ier access, a new asphaltparking lot has replacedthe previous gravel one.

Installation of back-stops on the baseball fieldare also planned by thespring.

“It helps us in manyways to be able to play athome at a nice facility,”said McNicholas athleticdirectorRobHeise, refer-ring to the improvementsmade to the school’s Pro-ject Paradise field.

Theproject beganwiththe installation of a turffield in January 2010, ac-cording to Heise. Prior tothat the McNicholas

sports teams frequentlyused the sporting facili-ties of other schools, in-cluding Anderson andTurpin high schools.

The installation ofbleachers and a press boxgenerated some contro-versy from adjacentneighbors in 2011, but thematter was eventually re-solved.

Work on the plaza andparking lot was recentlycompleted.

The steps and ramphave improved accessi-bility, said Denver Stan-field, co-chairman of theProject ParadiseCommit-tee.

Stanfield said parking

will also bemore efficientwith the new lot. Theparking spaces will bemarkedandnumbered,hesaid.

The asphalt lot willhold about 114 cars, ac-cording to Heise.

Heise said to date theprojecthascostabout$2.2million.

Other improvementsare contingent upon addi-tional funding.

Stanfield said comple-tion of the plaza, whichwill include entrywayswhere tickets are collect-ed as well as perimeterfencing, will cost an esti-mated $300,000.

Other improvementssuch as landscaping andlighting are also underdiscussion.

McNicholas HighSchool representatives

have met with neighborsthroughout the project.

Stanfield said anothermeeting is planned for the

spring with a date to bedetermined.

work with our neighbor-hood homes (which) arevery diverse,” she said.

However, other Mt.Washington residentssupported the plan.

“To me it’s bettermentof the neighborhood withquality homes,” said Sut-ton Avenue reisdent BillHolzman. “(The develop-ers) seemed like they had

a willingness to cooper-ate.”

The Mt. WashingtonCommunity Council didset several conditions be-fore granting approval.These included a condi-tion that the plan meetCincinnati zoning code re-quirements and not re-quire anyvariances or ex-ceptions and a conditionthat the sewer line not beconnected to the existinghomes on Salem HillsLane and Putnam Road.

“Arsenic and Old Lace” out-lines the story of two outwardlyinnocent, but inwardly crazedaunts, Abby (John Keil) andMartha (Molly Brubaker), andtheir adult son, Mortimer (ZackPlavsic). It occurs in the1940s inBrooklyn, N.Y., and containsmany simultaneous tales thatget splendidly woven into one.

While many old ladies of thetime may have taken up muchmore peaceful hobbies, AbbyandMartha gleefully poison oldmen and bury them in their cel-lar. However, they do this astheir “duty” to society, not out ofmalice.

Among the other hints of in-sanity in the play are a ruthlessmurderer who looks like Fran-

kenstein (Matt Ruehlman) andhis spineless partner (MitchWorden), an insistent fiancéwho won’t let anything impedeher marriage (Julia Olmsted), amanwho insists that he isTeddyRoosevelt (Matt Herndon), fivehilariously incompetent police-men and women, and many oth-ers.

The show is enhanced byrealistic props, a set that out-

lines the time period and cre-ative costumes, lighting andsound. Turpin will also be ac-cepting donations to the Ander-son Township Historical Soci-ety.

General seating tickets are$8 andcanbebought at thedoor.If you have any questions orwould like to reserve your seatsin advance, call 232-7770 ext.5820.

ANDERSON TWP. — At first,LukeCripe didn’t want his teamto put a lot of emphasis on theKing of theHillmeet, an annualtri-match between Anderson,McNicholas and Turpin highschools.

TheRedskins areyoungwitharosterdominatedbyfreshmenand sophomores, with just fourseniors. The veteran coachdidn’t want his team to geartheir focus toward one meet.

But as the event drew closer,Cripe began showing film andbringing back alumni, whoshared their own King of theHill experiences. By the day ofthematch, avictoryat theeventwas something the squad want-ed “very badly.”

And the Redskins deliveredby winning the school’s sixth-consecutive King of the Hillcrown at AndersonHigh SchoolJan. 17.

“I was looking forward to it alot,” saidAndersonwrestlerBra-dyBrown. “It feels really good. Imean it was important for us towin this, making history.”

Brown, who had been bat-tling the flu, wrestled in whatwas perhaps one of the mostemotional matches of the eve-ning against returning districtqualifier and the eventual Kingof the Hill at 145 pounds, Tom-my Cummins of Turpin.

Brown had lost earlier in thenight and was in search of a bigvictory.

Prior the meet, Cripe hadbeen telling his pupil that hismoment was coming.

“I didn’t knowwhen it’s goingto happen for you, but I told himthe minute you go out there andmakethingshappenforyourself,you’re going to get that big winand ithappenedforhimtonight,”Cripe said. “It’s probably thebig-gest win of his career, so far.”

Despite being ill, and havingthrown up earlier in the day,Browndecidedhe’d just have totough out the match.

“I justhad towrestle through

it hard and wrestle my best and(try to win),” he said.

Cripe was also impressedwith the efforts of team cap-tainsDavidWise (170) andRyanCampbell (138), aswell asConorBrockman (120) and Joe Farrell(285)

After the match, Andersoncelebrated by hoisting the Kingof the Hill championship ban-ner. And while the squad rel-ished the victory over its neigh-borhood rivals, Cripe knows histeam’s work isn’t over.

“I told the kids, ‘This is notdone yet,’” Cripe said. “We stillhave state duals and sectionals.This can’t be thehighlight of theyear, but it is a very importantwin for us.”

ANDERSONTWP— .Withsev-en games left to play, the girlsof the Anderson High Schoolbasketball team sits alone atthe top of the Eastern Cincin-nati Conference standings.

Paced by an offense thatcanmove up the floor, theRed-skins scored another bigleague victory by extendingtheir lead over second-placeGlenEste, after a 60-56 victoryJan. 19.

The Redskins play a fast, re-laxed brand of basketball. The

model has helped a team thatwelcomed back just three play-erswith extensivevarsity expe-rience in Madison Temple, Ha-leyTemple andAnnaKerregan.

“We’re better (when we playlike that). We do have some in-experienced girls…who havenever played varsity before-…so the less we think aboutwhat we’re doing, the better weare.”

Madison has turned in astellar sophomore season andleads the ECC with 16.0 pointsper game.

She’s the focus of the oppos-ing teamon a nightly basis, but

has continued to spark the An-derson offense.

“She’s done a great job.When we get it down the floorquickly, she kind of flourishesin that environment,” Carlettisaid.

The Redskins are also find-ing baskets at other positions.

Senior guard Haley Templehas scored double-digit pointfigures on five occasions,while her 3.0 assists per gameaccounts for the second bestmark in the league.

In that same game,Maggie Harris scored 12,

while Kelly Frey scored20 off the bench in theHughes victory Jan. 10.

“The more people thatcan score, the more dan-gerous you are,” Carlettisaid. “It’s nice to see morethanoneor twopeople get-ting it done for us.”

With the Redskinslooking to make a finalpush for a conference ti-

He gave the defense aC-, and he knows that get-ting stops will be the keyto a successful playoffrun.

“There’s not a postsea-son if you don’t play de-fense and rebound,” hesaid.

Last week’s questionShould the U.S. leave a small

number of troops in Afghani-stan after 2014, when the cur-rentNATOcombatmissionends,or should it remove all troops,known as the "zero-option"?

“I am a little hesitant to an-swer this question, because Ido not have the expertise thatisneededtomakethedecision.My inclination is to vote forpulling everyone out. We willnever make Afghanistan likethe US, and our people are indanger from terrorist attacksover there all the time.

“We cannot police the en-tire world, even though some-times I wish we could do thatin places like Syria, Iran,Mali,and even Pakistan. We are notgoing to eliminate the threatfrom radical Islam, no matterwhat we do because their ba-sic goal is world domination,for what they consider a 'wor-thy cause.'

“All we can do, if we re-move our troops, is pray andhope for the best.”

Bill B.

“If a large amount of troopshas done no good why wouldwe leave a small amount oftroops? Afghanistan is a hell-hole and will always be. Weneed to get our troops out ofharmsway today, not in 2014.”

D.D.

“I don't think it will makeanydifferencewhetherAmer-ica leaves troops in Afghani-stan after 2014 or pulls everysoldier out tomorrow. Regard-less of what America does Af-ghanistan will revert to Tali-ban control and its currentleaderKarzai flees that nationwith billions of dollars plun-dered from its treasury andreaped from the opium trade.

“Hasn't it occurred to any-one that sinceGeorgeW.Bushsupposedly restored Democ-racy to Afghanistan that Kar-zai has been its only ruler? Itfits the samepattern asEgypt,the former Soviet Union, Cu-ba, Panama and other nationsthat we falsely believe to bedemocratic.

“All that is accomplished isa new dictator takes over andthe abuses and plunder con-tinue unabated. Why have oursoldiers die for that?”

R.V.

“Ideally I would want allthose troops to come home. Ihave special reason for thissentiment. My nephew, a U.S.ArmyLt. (82ndAirborne) cur-rently in Ranger School, isscheduled for deployment toAfghanistan late 2013-early2014.

“However, I think we needa base of support there formonitoring. My fear is that alQaeda will return to set uptraining camps and pick upwhere bin Laden left off. Iwish I knew of a decent exitstrategy.”

T.B.

“If the combat missionends, it ends. Get our troopsout of there and put a cap onit!”

O.H.R.

“My opinion is that the zerooption is the only option. Thishas been the longest war inU.S. history. It has left manymilitary families shattered bydeath of family members andmultiple deployments of theirloved ones. The U.S. public islargely uninformed and atworst apathetic towards thewar.”

“It is time to give the mili-tary personnel a peace and re-prievefromfighting,especial-ly in a country that can neverbe united or brought to apeaceful governmental solu-tion.”

I.P.

“Iwould sayNO to the ‘zerooption,’ but also there are twovery important groups of peo-ple who should be asked aboutthis before anything is defi-nite.

“Our troops in Afghanistanshould be asked, not a suit inWashington; and the womenand children of Afghanistanshould be asked, not Karzaiwho is only interested in hispoppy fields.”

NEXT QUESTIONWhat are your expectationsfor President Obama’s secondterm?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Sendyour answers [email protected] Chatroom in the subject line.

"Since man crawled fromthe primordial ooze, Godplagued us with the power to

think. Despiteprogress wecontinue todeny the onefaculty of manthat raises usabove theother, thepower of hisbrain to rea-son. The pow-er to think.What other

merit have we?"This from “Inherit the

Wind” a play about a teacherarrested for teaching evolu-tion. It suggests humanity isnot about fixed rules anddemonstrates the complex-ities and contradictions in

controlling humanity.The same can be said about

growing government controlover us and our innate powerto reason and think. It's sim-ple all you have to do is say:Let me in, I'll live and thinkthe way you want me to youwill never be lonely or hun-gry. Abandon faith in your-self, others, God and put faithin government. If that's thecase, I am in ... that is, if youknow their right?

When is it finished? What'snext? Is this the future? Gov-ernment telling us what isgood. Those opposed againsthumanity? Politicians pro-claim "Every man is a freeagent," but then, tell us how tolive and think, no longer man-aging our own affairs.

The "enlightened ones"

believe our innate ignorancemust be controlled. Thosewho question – heretics. Thenwhy the power to think? Denywhat sets us above animals?Government telling us what isgood? Opposed un-American?The new democratic process?Go to jail for opposing self-appointed prophets?

What about the humanspirit, the right to master ourown destiny? Within the con-text of ordered liberty thereis more sanctity to the indi-vidual than in all the "Yes wecans" and that holy-of-holiesObamaCare. A chance tochoose, is a greater monu-ment than any governmentprogram. Advancing knowl-edge by allowing failure is agreater miracle than a bailingout GM. Forgo progress be-

cause we are frightened withfables.

Freedom is not a bargain,we all pay for it. We can havegay rights, but you must ac-cept those who don't abandontheir own moral choices.Comfort the afflicted, but at aprice, you enslave yourself togovernment health care. Out-law guns and guns? No childleft behind instead leave allchildren behind?

Take a constitutional rightlike owning guns and restrictthat right. Now you can makeit a crime to do anything thatburdens society. Tomorrowit's a crime to complain aboutit. So you ban books and news-papers. Trust a governmentwho owns the guns?

Those who want to savechildren are pitted against

those who save the elderly.Liberal against conservative,each foisting their own vi-sions upon mankind. If youcan do one, you can do theother. Because fanaticism andignorance regardless whospews it is forever busy, andneeds fuel.

Soon, we'll be marchingbackward, to when bigotsburned those who dared bringenlightenment and intelli-gence. Our Founders took usforward to a from where wecould look back and see wherewe came, but for their insightwe now abandon their wisdomand Genesis from which theywere inspired and reap awhirlwind.

Looking to lower yourmonthly payments? Are youlooking to consolidate debt?In today’s recovering econo-my, these questions are top ofmind for many borrowers.

Millions ofAmericansare “underwa-ter” or facedwith the chal-lenge of owingmore on theirmortgagesthan theirhomes may beworth and arestruggling tomake monthlypayments.

With extended governmentprograms and currently lowmortgage rates, refinancingmay be a simple and bene-ficial option to help you andyour family save money andstay in your home.

In the simplest terms, refi-nancing your home mortgageallows you to apply for a newterm and interest rate to helpyou pay off an existing loan.

By taking advantage of alower interest rate, you maybe able to reduce your month-ly payments and lower youroverall mortgage costs. Thiscan be especially helpful forunderwater borrowers strug-gling to make current loanpayments due to a change in a

financial situation or whenfaced with other significantexpenses. Money savedthrough refinancing also mayincrease your individual cashflow and help you pay off orconsolidate other debt, in-cluding credit cards.

Refinancing also may al-low you to shorten the lengthof your mortgage term. If youhave additional funds avail-able, you may be able to ad-just your loan to a shorterterm with a lower interestrate, which can ultimatelyhelp you pay off your mort-gage loan faster.

Many homeowners may beeligible for the government’senhanced Home AffordableRefinance Program (HARP),which was designed in 2009 tohelp underwater borrowersrefinance. During the fourthquarter of 2011, the FederalHousing Finance Agencyannounced significant mod-ifications to this program,called HARP 2.0, which hasbeen extended until Decem-ber 2013. This program con-tinues to change, and someborrowers who were not qual-ified under the former pro-gram may qualify underHARP 2.0.

The HARP 2.0 programcan benefit borrowers, whoare current on their mortgagepayments and have not had a

late payment in the past sixmonths and no more than onelate payment in the past 12months. This program is de-signed for borrowers whoseexisting loan has been sold toFannie Mae and Freddie Macon or before May 31, 2009.HARP 2.0 also benefits bor-rowers who are not currentlypaying private mortgageinsurance (PMI) or are in-sured through national mort-gage insurance providersinvolved in the HARP pro-gram including Radian, Gen-worth and MGIC.

To help you understand ifrefinancing is right for you,you should contact your cur-rent mortgage lender or an-other financial institution toreview your available op-tions.

As a financial institutionfocused on helping borrowersachieve homeownership andstay in their homes, FifthThird can provide additionalinformation about refinanc-ing by calling (877) 841-7513.If you are not sure if yourloan was sold to Fannie Maeor Freddie Mac, you can seeif your mortgage qualifies forthe HARP 2.0 program byvisiting www.53harp.com.

Bob Lewis is senior vice presidentand head of Fifth Third MortgageCompany.

Is now the time torefinance mortgage?

Committee needs its vision testedI live in Anderson Township right off of Asbury

Road. When I pass the new Buffalo Wild Wings res-taurant I just seethe to think that that design wasOK'd by anyone.

The back that is facingBeechmontAvenue is uglyand what is really ugly is seeing the employees out-side smoking.

In fact the whole building is unsightly. And I haveto admit the bank next door is not too much better.

Is this the best that Zoning Commission and theBeechmont Vision Plan can do? I would say the peo-ple on the Beechmont Vision Plan committee needtheir vision tested because they are either blind or inserious need of glasses.

To increase its emphasis onproviding services to people af-fectedby spinabifida, theSpinaBifidaAssociationofCincinnatiis becoming an independent or-ganization serving 17 countiesin Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.

The organization also haschanged its name to the SpinaBifida Coalition of Cincinnati tomake it clear that it is no longeraffiliated with the national Spi-na Bifida Association.

After careful consideration,the Spina Bifida Coalition ofCincinnati board decided to end

its affiliation because the boardof directors believes the mis-sionof thenational organizationis no longer fully aligned withcoalition’s mission. The coali-tion’s primarymission is to pro-vide services to its clients. Thenational organization’s primarymission seems to be raisingmoney to fund spina bifida re-search.

“Our main focus will con-tinue to be helping people bornwith spina bifida lead full, ac-tive lives in our region,” saidJustin Bifro, coalition chair.

“We acknowledge that researchcontinues to be vital to lessenthe impact of spina bifida on fu-ture generations. But we thinkour organization is best suitedto enhancing the lives of thoseaffected by spina bifida today.

“Our board is convinced thatthis is the right decision for ourclients because it will keep ourfocus on providing high-qualityservices and programs tothem,” he said.

Programsandservicesof thecoalition will not be impacted.Because thechangesaremostly

internal ones, the coalition’s cli-ents, donors and volunteersmight not even notice any dif-ferences, other than the organi-zation’s new name and logo.

The coalition expects tomaintain a positive relationshipwith the SBA.

“Weare sure therewill be oc-casions when cooperation willbenefit both organizations andour clients,” said SonyaDreves,the coalition’s executive direc-tor.Thecoalition isencouragingclients to continue supportingthe national organization.

For the past severaldays, I’ve been testingrecipes for classic stews,including chicken fricas-

see andbeef bour-guignon.I’m in thetweakingstage for abeef stewthat has anolive but-ter swirl init. When itgets to the“ohmy

gosh this is perfect”stage, I’ll be one happycook.Meanwhile, yourrequests have been foranything but long-cook-ing, gourmet food. I agreeit’s good to havemealsthat are quick, appealingand not budget-busting.Here’s some to try.

Quick sloppy JoesFor themomwho

wanted tomake a barbe-cue-type sandwich forher preschooler butdidn’t want somethingreal spicy. This freezeswell. This is good on slid-er buns toppedwith slawfor Super Bowl parties aswell. Or put in a fonduepot and servewith Fritoscoops or tortilla chips.

1pound lean ground beef1⁄4 cup diced onion ormore totaste

1diced bell pepper(optional)

12 oz. bottle chili sauceBrown sugar to taste: Startwith 3 tablespoons and gofrom there

Sauté beef, onion and

bell pepper until beef iscooked. Add remainingingredients. Bring to agentle boil, lower to asimmer for a fewmin-utes.

Ellen’s orzo-roniEllenMueller ismy

Greek cooking buddy atJungle Jim’s.We teachLebanese/Greekmenustogether and joke thatourmoms and aunts areup in heaven arguingabout whose food is bet-ter. Here’s a comfortingpasta dish that Ellen saysher girls, Maggie andAlex, ask for on a regularbasis. “Better than theboxed stuff,” she toldme.Orzo is rice-shaped pasta

sometimes called rose-marina.1⁄4 cup butter1 small onion, finely diced1garlic clove,minced4 oz. sliced creminimushrooms

1cup orzo4 oz. spaghetti broken intothirds

4 cups low sodium chickenbroth

3 tablespoons choppedparsley

Salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in skillet.Add onion and sauté untiltranslucent. Add garlicand cook anotherminute.Addmushrooms and cookuntil soft and juices havereleased. Add orzo and

spaghetti and coat wellwith butter. Add broth,stir, bring to boil. Coverand reduce to simmer.Simmer15minutes oruntil most of liquid isabsorbed. Add parsleyand season. Ellen says itwill be a little saucy,which is what youwant.

Blender bananabread

This is themostmoistand delicious bananabread I’vemade in a longtime. I have a “tastes likeBob Evans” banana breadrecipe onmy blog (Cin-cinnati.Com/blogs) thatuses half asmuch butteras oil, alongwith butter-milk, and that’s a goodone, too. The one thing Iwill tell you, though, isfor any banana bread totaste good, the bananashave to be really ripe, likeblack-speckled ripe, forthe bread to have a good,sweet banana flavor. Ifyou don’t have a blender,you can do this by hand.

3 very ripe bananaswhirledin blender tomake1cuppuree

1cup vegetable oil2 large eggs2 teaspoons vanilla11⁄2 cups flour1 cup sugar1 teaspoon baking soda1⁄2 teaspoon salt1 cupwalnuts, chopped inblender (optional)

Little bit of sugar forsprinkling on top(optional)

Brush a loaf panwith

soft butter or spraywithcooking spray. Preheatoven to 350 degrees. Topuree in blender add oil,eggs and vanilla. Whirluntil blended.Whiskflour, sugar, soda, salt andnuts together in bowl.Pour bananamixtureover dry ingredients andmix just until blended.Don’t overmix. Pour intopan, sprinkle with extrasugar, and bake 45min-utes or so until centersprings backwhen lightlypressed. Cool on rack afewminutes before re-moving from pan.

Tip fromRita’skitchen

Refrigerate or freezeripe bananas! The skinwill turn black, but insidewill be creamy yellow.Mix nuts with flourmix-ture so they stay suspend-ed in your baked goodsand don’t sink to the bot-tom.

Anderson Townshipcould buy a piece of landon Clough Pike to helpwith floodplain preser-vation and land conser-vation.

TheBoardofTrusteesrecently authorized staffto apply for a Clean OhioGreen Space Funds,whichwouldhelppay forthe roughly 1.3-acreproperty, which is on thesouth sideofCloughPikenear the intersection ofBartels Road.

Buying the landon thebanks of Clough Creek iscontingent on receivingtheCleanOhiogrant, andit would give AndersonTownship the easementsit needs to build newsidewalks on CloughPike, said AssistantTownship AdministratorSteve Sievers.

Though the townshiphasn’t finalized theamount yet, the grant ap-plication is for up to$18,000 with a townshipmatch of around $4,500of township taxpayers’money, he said.

The application is duebefore the end of theyear, and the Clean OhioGreenspace Conserva-tion Program places cer-tain restrictions on any

property bought withthose funds.

Programrules state thegrant must be focused onenvironmental conserva-tion and limit themajorityof structures on landboughtwith themoney.

IfAndersonTownshipreceives the grant, Sie-vers said they plan tokeep the property in anatural state. He is notsure if it would be in thetownship’s officialgreenspace program orremain a passive sitewith access to the creek.

By preserving thearea it would prevent fu-turedevelopmenton thatsite and help with waterrunoffordrainageissuesnear the property, Sie-vers said. AndersonTownship should be noti-fied if its received theClean Ohio grant in 2013.

Anderson Township isalso planning a major im-provement project onCloughPikebetweenNew-town andBridges road.

Those improvementsinclude reduced curbcuts, turn lanes, defineddriveways and utilityconsolidation.

Other plan elementsinclude lighting, side-walks, shoulder im-provements, storm wa-ter drainage modifica-tions and landscaping.

Cardiologists fromMercyHealth –TheHeartInstitute are the first inCincinnati to use thegroundbreaking newXIENCEXpedition stent.

“We’reexcitedtobethefirst in Cincinnati to offerthe XIENCE Xpeditionstent. It gives our patientsanother option to be wellandisjustonemorewayinwhichMercyHealth - TheHeart Institute continuesto set the standard in re-gional cardiac care,” saidF. Thomas Jenike, MD,president of MercyHealth – The Heart Insti-tute.

Syed Z.Haq,MDofMercyHealth –MountAiryHospital;Daniel C.Eckert,MD, andJohn S.

Held, MD, of MercyHealth – Fairfield Hospi-tal; and Vanshipal Puri,MDofMercyHealth –An-derson Hospital, have allused the stent. Theynotedthat the procedures havegone well and have beenpositive about its deploy-ment.

TheU.S.FoodandDrugAdministration recentlyapproved the XIENCEXpedition Drug-ElutingStent System from Ab-bott. The new stent sys-temoffers advanced tech-nology paired with thelargest variety of stentsizes in the U.S. market,making it suitable to treata wide range of patients.

Interventional cardiol-ogists can place theXIENCE Xpeditionthrough direct stenting,meaning that physiciansdon’t need to use anotherdevice, such as a balloondilatation catheter, to

make way for the stent.This makes the stent par-ticularlyuseful in treatingdifficult-to-reach block-ages in blood vessels. Di-rect stenting can also helpsavetimeandresourcesinthe catheterization lab-oratory. Drug-elutingstents release a drug thathelps prevent stent block-ages.
