He said the KenwoodCollection store is ex-pected to open in spring2016.
Greg Bickford, Syca-more Township’s plan-ning and zoning directorand assistant townshipadministrator, said he’spleased to see PhillipsEdison’s progress in at-tracting tenants to thehigh-profile site. He saidthe Saks announcementhelps cement the Ken-wood area’s status as aunique entertainmentand retail destination.
Phillips & Edison is “agood company, and theyknow what they’re do-ing,” said Bickford. “Weknew itwas going to takesome time becausethere’s not a lot of ten-ants in the market thatcould fill that space andmake it successful.”
In the meantime, itwill be business as usualat the Fifth and Race lo-cation Downtown. Thecity executed a 15-yeardeal with Saks in Febru-ary 2002 that providedtheretailerwith$6.6mil-lion in tax incrementbond funds to upgradeits store and remain inthe city.
The announcement is
a blow to plans that thecity of Cincinnati had tocreate a Downtown re-tail shopping corridor onRace Street betweenFourth and Sixth streetsand anchored by Saksand Macy’s.
Cincinnati officialsand Downtown boostershad lobbied hard in re-cent months to convince
Saks to stay in the city’scentral business district.But they said the high-end retailer’s announce-ment to leavewon’tdeterprogress to create theshopping corridor.

Students learned that thepond is composed of differenthabitats, each home to a varietyof creatures with adaptationsfor life in a watery environ-ment.
The first-graders used dipnets at the pond to catch orga-nisms for observation. Theyfound: dragonfly nymphs, dam-selfly nymphs, fresh watermussels, water striders, tad-poles, boatman, water beetlesand aquatic snails.
Allwerereturnedto thepondafter students observed themthrough an insect magnifierbox. First-graders used a Magi-scope to view plankton.
The students also heardabout water availability in thefield and woods, and checkedlogs for salamanders.
At the stream table, they sawhow water moves soil and cre-ateschannels thatmeander, justas real streams do.
During the erosion traysdemonstration, students sawhow effectively plants hold soilin place.

HAMILTON COUNTY — Thebasketballs were officiallyrolled out in Nov. 1, but prepa-ration began way before thatfor boys high school basketballteams in the Northeast Subur-ban Life coverage area. Thefollowing is a rundown of thelocal squads.
Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy
The Eagles went 12-11 lastseason, including an 8-5 recordin the Miami Valley Confer-ence Gray Division, one gamebehind 9-4 league championCincinnati Country Day.
Head coach Andy Keimergraduated three all-leaguehonorees from that team, butreturns four playerswho start-ed at least part time. Amongthem are senior fourth-yearpoint guard Evan Glaser andsenior wing Matt Overstreet.
Also back are junior wingJohn Drosos and 6-foot-8 soph-omore Prince Michael Sam-mons, who started at the end ofthe season.
Senior forward Chris Zhengadds experience to the mixwhile junior guard Ryan Smithreturns after missing last sea-son with an injury.
A solid sophomore classcould be the difference for theteam. Among them are guardsErik Kohlan and Blake South-erland, 6-foot-3 wing Sean Es-lick and 6-foot-2 post playerNick Harker.
“We like our depth,” Keimersaid. “It’s the best numberswe’ve ever had. The competi-tion in practice has been great,seeing who is going to step upto start or getminutes. They’reworking for it. There are somequestions with the sopho-mores. Are they ready to stepup to thevarsityandcontributeor will they need a year?
“We want to push it up thefloor, so we want that depth. Ifyou’re really good in transitionyou can score a lot of points,but we also want to be a teamthat can make six, seven, eightpasses in a possession and bepatient if we have to.”
CHCAopens theseasonwiththree straight home games,facing Cincinnati College PrepNov. 30, NewMiami Dec. 3 andSt. Bernard Dec. 6.
SycamoreThe Aviators were in a four-
way tie for first in the GreaterMiami Conference last seasonwithLakotaWest,FairfieldandMiddletown. Coach DavidMoss led Sycamore to a 13-11record (9-5 GMC), which alsoput him in a four-way tie forleague Coach of the Year withthe leaders of theFirebirds, In-
dians and Middies.Three starters return off
the squad in seniors Zach Far-quhar, Mitch Hill and DanGinsburg. Farquhar and Hillare three-year varsity players.
The 6-foot-3 leaper Hill wasfourth in the league in blockslast season at 1.1 per game andaveraged 7.8 points per game.
Shooting guard Farquharconnected on 35 percent of histhree-point shots and averaged8.4 points per game.
“Our togetherness, workethic and shooting ability arestrong,” Moss said. “We have agood group of unselfish play-erswhowill play veryhard andhopefully surprise someteams.”
Sycamore begins the seasonat home with Milford Nov. 30.
Indian HillThe Indians open Nov. 29 at
Bethel-Tate. They also playRyle High School in the Ohio-Kentucky Showdown Dec. 7and will travel to Orlando for aholiday tournament betweenChristmasandNewYear’sDay.
The Braves finished in themiddle of the pack in the CHLlast season with a 14-10 recordoverall and an 8-6 leaguemark.Like Wyoming who finishedjust below them, they are ex-pected to contend this year be-cause of their returning expe-rience.
Coach Tim Burch returnssenior guard Zach Schneiderand senior center Lucas Gouldfrom last year’s lineup.Schneider made CHL secondteam as a junior, with Gould
taking honorable mention.The 6-foot-8 Gould was sec-
ond on the team in scoring andrebounding averaging 10.2 and6.7, respectively. Schneiderav-eraged 8.5 points per game and4.0 assists.
Assisting Schneider is hisjunior brother, Austin.
“Sometimes they’ll be on thecourt at the same time,” Burchsaid. “It’s hard to take the ballaway from those two guys.”
The Braves have added sizein 6-foot-8 senior Karl Koster,seniors Shay Bahner and Matt
Thompson at 6-foot-4 andfreshman Reed Aicholtz at 6-foot-4 and half and still grow-ing. At 6-foot-1, NickHeidl alsois on varsity as a sophomore.
“I think we’re going to getsome big things out of him,”Burch said of Heidl. “Heplayed really well on the fresh-man team and has had two realgoodscrimmagesalready.He’sprobably the best shooter intheprogram.He’ll comeoff thebench, but he’s playing reallywell.”
IndianHill starts the season
at home with Norwood Dec. 3.“If we can learn how to play
with our height, we’re going togive a lot of teams a lot of prob-lems,” Burch said. “If we canbe real physical andcontrol theboards, we can be an awfullytough team to beat. We almostlook like a college team some-times.”

MASON—MoellerHighSchool’s football teamnever trailed in its 35-26victory over ColerainNov. 23 in the Division I,Region 2 semifinals atMasonHighSchool’sAtri-um Stadium.
Crusader quarterbackGus Ragland had anotherphenomenal day, rushingfor 205 yards and fourtouchdowns on 29 carries.
“To beat a team likeColerain takes a lot ofwork during the week be-cause the option (offense)gives you a lot of prob-lems,” Moeller coachJohn Rodenberg said.“They’re fast; they’rephysical; they’re well-coached; and it’s agrind toplaya teamlikeColerain.”
The option did giveRo-denberg’s squad fitsthroughout the game, asthe Moeller defense al-lowed 440 total yards (306rushing), but the Crusad-ers held the Cardinals tojust135yardsononly fourpossessions in the secondhalf.
“Minor tweaks on (de-fense),” Rodenberg saidof the halftime adjust-ments. “Just enough tostop them in the (shotgun)that was giving us someproblems. We did a goodjob of that.”
Moeller moves on toface Hilliard DavidsonHigh School with a trip to
the state finals on the linewhere theCrusadershopeto defend their title.
Thismarks the second-consecutive season theCrusaders knocked Cole-rain out of the playoffs.Last season they defeatedthe Cards 24-21 in the re-gional final. It’s a rivalrythat is slowly starting toblossomwhenboth team’sreach November.
“We have so much re-spect for their program,”Rodenberg said. “Theyplay such great footballand they’re so physical. Ithink Tom Bolden is agreat coach and you likeplaying a team like Cole-rain because it’s going tobeaheckofagamefor thefans and you know you’rein for a dogfight.”
Moellergot the scoringunderway at the 4:20mark of the first quarteron a 29-yard touchdownrun by Ragland.
After theCards tied it aseven just 19 seconds lat-er, Ragland answeredwith a two-yard scoringrun to make it 14-7 at theend of the first quarter.
After a Colerain turn-over, JackGrubermade it21-7 with 7:46 left in thefirst half.
Before the Crusaderscould blink, Colerain run-ning back DeTuan Smith-Moore added his secondand third rushing touch-downs of the first halfmaking it 21-20 at half-time. Two more Ragland
touchdowns, one in thethird quarter and a one-yard rushing score late inthefourthquarter to ice it,rounded out the Moellerscoring.
“… I feel really goodfor our kids,” the coachsaid of making a returntrip to state. “… It’s aboutthe Class of ’14 and I feelgood for these guys.”

I have followed the “KillEveryone in China “ skit byJimmy Kimmel and involvinglittle boys and girls with greatsadness. I am also saddened bythe outrage or lack thereofagainst this exploitation.
Having viewed the showmany times over, and the moreI examine it, the more thisquestion persists – who gavethe lad the idea to “kill every-one in China” as the answer toget out of the $1.3.trillion dollarour country owes to China? Ihave a tough time believingthis child came up with it him-self – the answer is too coy andmuch too calculated.
Then was it his parents? Orworse, as many have called the
production askit, was itwritten by askit wit for thechildren to actout and withcanned laugh-ter dubbed in?Given thegravity of thedisservice, thisis a questionfor the FCC
and the White House, now that100,000 signatures are in, toask.
I am also saddened that justabout all of the outrage againstMr. Kimmel, ABC and Disneyis from Asian Americans. Thedisservice is deeper than a
simple affront to the dignity orgood feelings of Asian Amer-icans.
The question posed byMr.Kimmel is what is America todo about the $1.3 trillion weowe to China. Perhaps trillionsof dollars owed between na-tions are really beyond thegrasp of children and evensome adults, but the underly-ing question for adults andchildren viewers alike is thatof personal responsibility forthe money we owe to another.
Mr. Kimmel himself asks,“If we owe someone money,should we pay them back.”“Never” is the immediate an-swer from a little girl.
To be fair to Mr. Kimmel he
does make a half-hearted ef-fort to steer the childrenaround, but the genie is al-ready out of the bottle. Is thisthe value system we want ourchildren to grow up with andour grown-ups to have in theadult world? That we can sim-ply get out of debts (and otherthings we do not like or want)by killing the creditor.
Sadly we are seeing almostweekly this value system actedout – we have an issue withsomeone and we go to townwith our automatic rifle. Imag-ine one of the little girls lent $1to the boy next to her and de-manded that her $1 be repaid.What should the boy do?
I would suggest Mr. Kimmel
and ABC and Disney makeamends by producing moreshows in the future to teachthe boys and girls that theproper thing to do when oneborrows money is to do somechores at home or next door toearn the dollar to repay thebenefactor who lent the moneyin a time of need.
This is the lesson on per-sonal responsibility for allAmerican children and onethat deserves the attention ofall American parents, andcertainly not just Asian Amer-icans. A lesson to be taughtbefore the gummy break.

Nov. 20 questionDo you think President Obamawill be
able to keep his promise that Americanswillbeabletokeepcanceledhealth insur-ance policies for a year as companies andconsumers adjust to thenewdemandsofthe health care law. Why or why not?
“If you go back in history, Social Se-curity was established for when thosereached retirement there would besome money there for you, not anamount to support you but, to havesomething. ThisObamaCare is the pol-iticians answer to the problemwith SS,the government will decide for you ifyou need heart surgery or just let youdie off. There wasmoney in SS and thepoliticianssawall thismoneyandstart-ed all kinds of welfare programs withthis money, now that SS is in troublethis is how your elected officials an-swer to the problem.
“Thehard fact of thematter is if you
diebecauseyoudidn’thavetheheartsur-gery then the government doesn’t havetopayoutSS toyouoryour family!Thinkabout it, does Washington, D.C. reallycare about your retirement years? Theanswer is no! Do they have the samehealth insurance you are going to get?No! They will have a separate insurancethan you and I! Think about this whenyougo to vote! If youdon’t vote then shutup!”

Nov. 13 questionSeveralmajor retailers andmallswill be
open for holiday shopping throughoutThanksgiving Day. Is this a good idea anddo you plan to plan to take advantage ofthe extended hours? Why or why not?
“There is no way I will do any shop-pingonThanksgivingDay. I thinkpeopleshould be off and have the time to spendwith their families. The owners and ex-ecs of the big chain storeswon’t bework-ing. Being closed a few days during theyear won’t bankrupt them. If nobodywould shop on Thanksgiving the storeswould get the message.”

Under currentlaw, residents need not retreat beforeusing force if they are lawfully in theirhomes, vehicles or the vehicle of animmediate family member. Is this goodlegislation? Why or why not?

On Veterans Day, weturn our attention tothe friends, coworkersand family memberswho have proudly wornthe uniform of theUnited States armedservices.
As President John F.Kennedy remarked inobservance of thissacred holiday, “As weexpress our gratitude,we must never forgetthat the highest appreci-ation is not to utterwords, but to live bythem.”
That is why I wasproud to work in a bipar-tisan manner in the OhioGeneral Assembly tointroduce legislation in2009 to give Ohio veter-ans of the Persian Gulf,Iraq, and Afghanistan acash bonus for theirservice to our country.And as a veteran myself,I was proud to see thefunding for it pass withthe support of more than72 percent of voters.
However, those votesjust expressed our grat-itude. Now we mustshow our appreciationby making sure everyeligible veteran appliesbefore the program’sdeadline. Unfortunately,many are still unawarethat this bonus is avail-able to them.
Those who served inIraq have until the end of2014 to apply. Presently,no deadline has beenannounced for Afghani-stan veterans.
Generally, the 2009Veterans Bonus pays upto $1,000 for service intheater and $500 forother active serviceduring the wars. Med-ically disabled servicemembers may receive aone-time payment of$1,000. The families ofthose who do not returnwill receive $5,000.
More than 66,000 Ohioveterans and familieshave received the bonussince August 2010, butmany more have yet toapply. With time runningout, it is important thatwe spread the word asfar and in as many waysas possible.
Earlier this year, Iintroduced HB 166,which would have al-lowed eligible veteransto identify themselves as
such on their Ohio taxreturn. Then, the OhioDepartment of VeteransServices would be ableto identify and assistthese veterans in apply-ing for the bonus andother benefits they haveearned. Unfortunately,this bill has not made itout of the House Ways &Means Committee yet,but I and other legisla-tors continue to urge itspassage. Until then, vet-erans must take it uponthemselves to apply.
To apply, contact theOhio Department ofVeteran Services at 1-877-644-6838, visitveteransbonus.ohio.gov,or contact your countyVeterans Service Com-mission. If you know of afriend, co-worker, orfamily member whoserved in the PersianGulf, please make surethey are aware of thisbonus and the deadlineat the end of the year.
It’s not enough totruly repay them fortheir service, but itshows that in Ohio wehonor our veterans inour actions, not just ourwords.

birth control, abortion, un-equal pay for equal work, andtheir version of ‘free markets’(which really means, let me doanything I can get away with,don’t regulate my business). Ican dump the heavy metalsfrom my business into yourcreek.
If your representative in-structs local police to con-fiscate all cameras and re-cording devices, cell phones,etc., at all ‘public’ meetings;then, you must ask yourself,“are we being governed by afascist, straight from the‘brown shirts’ of the ThirdReich?
Fascists in Italy, prior toWWII, built a base of powerby violently attacking social-ists and their institutions.
It is past time for those ofus in the ‘Real RepublicanParty’ to arise and ‘throw outthe bums’ on the far right whohave trashed what was a real-istically governing, morecentrist party. ‘They’ want a‘theocracy’. We want an abil-ity to govern, which includesall of the people, and all oftheir ideologies.
Is there a difference be-tween tea party candidatesand the Taliban? The level ofviolence is the only differencethat I can see.
The Taliban are more re-pressive, no music, no movies,no cable, no dancing, womencannot be educated, womencan only work in the medicalareas, women have to dressaccording to Taliban dictates,
or they arebeaten. It istheir way orthe highway.
Notice thatthe far rightare alwayspicking ontheir wimmin!They musthave a verydeep inferior-ity complex.
That sounds much like thetea party, and their currentstance in the House of Repre-sentatives. The TP only wantcertain books in publicschools; students must betaught ‘their version’ of thefounding fathers, their philos-ophy of the beginning of thiscountry, their philosophy on
Does this sound familiar?Have you heard attacks in thepress and on the radio of ourgovernment and its institu-tions?
Certainly, you have hearddaily attacks on Obamacare.What is interesting, is that noTP member wants to ‘fix’Obamacare. They only wish todestroy it.
This makes some sense, asthese people haven’t the tal-ent, and they are too lazy tochange a spare tire; so, it fol-lows that they would believethat nothing could be fixed.
I’m here to assure you, asmy grandfathers assured me,that anything could be fixed,and made to work.
Early in its history, the teaparty stated that ‘The Debt’
was the most important prob-lem. They loudly complainedabout the $16 trillion debt thatwe owed.
None did their homework;or, they would have found thatthe debt back then was over$200 trillion. Today, it is $222trillion. So, TP, what are yougoing to do about it? I noticethat some of your membersare now parroting what othersand I have been writing foryears.
The tea party wishes toeliminate Social Security,Medicare, Medicaid, foodstamps, Head Start, and mostsocial agencies of the govern-ment.

NOVEMBER 27, 2013 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • 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 mindchasing thedish towelsacross thefield, but itwas a littleembarrass-ing to seemy “un-mention-ables”
flying freely toward theroad. My girlfriendcalled me later and saidshe was driving by whenall this happened. “Mademe chuckle,” 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 at first.I didn’t knowmuch aboutgluten intolerance so Iknew I needed to learnhow to cook gluten free,but with all the flavor ofmy original recipes,” shesaid. Well, Giovanna hasnailed it. Her book hasreally good, doable glu-ten-free recipes, fromappetizers like crabcakes that start yourmeal with flair to dinnersthat are entertainmentworthy. Her eggplantParmesan is unbeliev-ably good. There’s a spe-cial section from friends
and family. I contributedrecipes for the dessertsection. Every recipe hasa photo along with a Biblequote relating to it, soyou are feeding bothbody and soul.
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 in
Rookwood 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, using
your 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 minced
garlic 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 sauce andtwo 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 areadding 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.
