AMilfordmanwhostruckand killed a Terrace Parkteenwithhiscar lastyearhaspleaded no contest to vehicu-lar manslaughter.

Adam Hor-vath, 23, origi-nally pleadednot guilty tothe second-de-gree misde-meanor, butchanged hisplea in Novem-ber. He wassentencedDec.

17 to electronic monitoringfor 90 days, a two-year driv-er’s license suspension withsome driving privileges, anda $104 fine, according tocourt documents.

Hamilton County prose-cutors did not plan to arrestHorvath after the initial in-vestigation into the Marchdeath of Collin Barton.

The 16-year-old teenagerhadbeenwalking fromapar-ty in the Mariemont area tohis home in Terrace ParkwhenhewashitbyHorvath’scar along Wooster Pike. Theimpact sent Barton’s bodyover an embankment on theside of the road where it wasfound two days later byemergency services person-nel.

Horvath went to the po-lice a couple hours afterstriking Barton with his carandtold themhewasdriving,fell asleep and hit somethingin that area of Wooster Pike.

About two months afterthe incident, countyprosecu-tors announced that AndrewWeber, of Indian Hill, notHorvath, would be chargedin Barton’s death. Weber isaccused of selling the teenhallucinogenic mushroomsthat contributed to his death.That case is pending.

Autopsyreports indicatedBarton had marijuana andpsilocin, from the mush-rooms Weber allegedly soldto him, in his system.

The investigation of Bar-ton’s death continued afterWeber’s indictment, and theprosecutor’s office reconsid-ered filing charges againstHorvath after speaking withBarton’s parents and a newwitness who said she saw amale teen walking near theguardrail in the area nearwhere the teen was struck.

Prosecutors announced inOctober that Horvath wouldbearrestedandchargedwithvehicular manslaughterwhile failing to drive inmarked lanes.

HYDE PARK — Many of theash trees in Hyde Park will re-main for now.

TheCincinnatiBoardofParkCommissioners recently ruled

in favor of main-taining a signifi-cant number ofthe ash trees inHyde Park.

The treeswere grouped inseveral catego-ries based on thehealth of the treeand level of in-

festation by the emerald ashborer.

About 100 of the trees wereconsideredhealthyor atmoder-ate risk. The Board of ParkCommissioners recommendedthese trees be monitored andthat the residents be given anopportunity to chemically treatthem if necessary.

Trees with a high level of in-festation will likely be re-moved. About 66 ash trees fellinto this category.

“It’s a compromise with theneighborhood,” saidDaveGam-stetter, a natural resourceman-ager for the Cincinnati ParkBoard. “We have a responsibil-ity to keep the streets safe.

“We will still have to cut thetrees if they slip intoCategory 3(which is the highest level of in-festation).”

Removalofashtrees inHydePark began in 2006. Removal ofthe ash trees to prevent thespread of the emerald ash bor-ers was planned in phases withroughly 175 trees initially re-

moved.Removal of the trees was

plannedona six-year cyclewiththenext phaseplanned for 2012.

An estimated 126 ash treeswere expected to be removed in2012. Several members of theHydeParkNeighborhoodCoun-cil objected to this and filed anappeal with the Board of ParkCommissioners to prevent re-moval of the trees based on aes-thetic and other considerations.

“I think it was a good deci-sion,”saidHydeParkNeighbor-hood Council board memberRob Pasquinucci about the rul-

ing.“It allows the city more flex-

ibility in dealing with the emer-ald ash borer problem.”

Pasquinucci said a numberof the ash trees were plantedseveral decades ago andare “anintegral part of the cityscape.”

Gamstetter said the cityplans amailing providing treat-ment options. If residentschoose to treat their trees, theyneed to get a permit from thecity, saidGamstetter.Hesaidnocost is involved in getting a per-mit. It just allows the city tokeep track of the trees being

treated, he said.Hyde Park Neighborhood

Council boardmemberCarlUe-belacker said the neighborhoodcouncil plans to work closelywith Cincinnati Urban Forestrytoget thewordout on treatmentof the trees.

If nothing is done it is highlylikely the trees will become in-festedwith theemeraldashbor-er and have to be removed, saidUebelacker, adding that addi-tional information should beposted on theHyde ParkNeigh-borhood Council website in thenext month or so.

Decision helps saveHyde Park ash trees

A recent decision by the Cincinnati Board of Park Commissioners has saved a number of the ash trees inHyde Park from removal. Residents will have an opportunity to have their trees chemically treated toprevent the spread of the emerald ash borer. FILE PHOTO

The former Carnegielibrary on Eastern Ave-nue is once again makingits transition back to acommunity and eventscenter.

Columbia Tusculumresidents bought thebuilding two decades agowhen it was falling intodisrepair and spent yearsrestoring the CarnegieCenter to its originalsplendor.

But after the BalletTheatre Midwest movedout, the building was puton the market in 2009,and that spurred a new

group of residents toband together and keepthe former library as aColumbiaTusculumcom-munity gathering space.

“The original Board ofDirectors ... thoughtabout dissolving the non-profit, but my husbandBen really felt compelledto not get rid of the build-ing,” said Dinese Young,the Carnegie’s volunteerexecutive director.

“He felt there wasenough new interest inthe building ... and solic-ited interest from neigh-bors who pulled togetherand were interested inthe preservation (of thebuilding).”

Last spring the newBoard of Directors tookover and have been gain-ing momentum in pre-serving and maintainingtheCarnegie for the com-munity.

Young said one of thebiggest goals is payingoff the mortgage, whichwill open up more fund-ing for community pro-gramming, building

maintenance and long-term sustainability. Thefirst big event is an adultsocial, which is 6 p.m.Saturday, Jan. 26, at theCarnegie, 3738 EasternAve.

“We’re celebrating 20years of the communitybeingbehind the buildingand ... want to bringawareness to our goalsfor this year,” Youngsaid. “It’s a beautifulpiece of architecture andwe feel like the Cincin-nati community would beinterested in (its) preser-vation.”

The social includesdinner by the bite, a cashbar, music, an art exhibitand a chance to meet thenew Board of Directors.It’s free, but reservationsare requested.

This is just the first ofmany upcoming commu-nity events at the Carne-gie Center, Young said.

They’ll be part of theArtsWave sampler week-end Saturday, Feb. 9; hostthe Playhouse in thePark’s Off the Hill pro-duction of “The Travel-ing Jekyll and HydeShow” onSunday, Feb.17;and the Art Academy ofCincinnati is conductingafter-school art classes

for children at the Carne-gie, aswell as a variety ofadult art classes.

They’re also collect-ing used children’s booksfor a summer readingkick-off in May, and thebuilding is open from 1-4p.m. every Sunday.

“When (Andrew) Car-negie built these librar-ies, the intentionwas thathe would do it if the com-

munity would be willingto maintain the buildingsand keep them movingforward,” said Boardmember Matt Acker-mann. “We’re followingin that same spirit.”

More details about up-coming communityevents and renting thebuilding is available on-line, www.thecarnegie-center.org.

Carnegie Center to celebrate supportBy Lisa [email protected] ABOUT THE

CARNEGIEThe Carnegie Center of

Columbia Tusculum was builtin 1906 as a gift to the city ofCincinnati from AndrewCarnegie.The facility functioned as a

public library until 1959 whenit was sold for private use. In1993, a group of ColumbiaTusculum residents set out toreturn the building to thecommunity.Their efforts resulted in the

re-opening of the buildingfor community use. In 2009the building encounteredfinancial issues and was putup for sale. Rather than seethe building lose it historicalcharacter, the residents againbanded together to revivethe building.

Andrew Carnegie was awealthy businessman andphilanthropist who livedfrom1835-1919. He financedmore than 2,500 publiclibraries around the world,including a dozen in Cincin-nati and Northern Ken-tucky.

An new Board ofDirectors is working toonce again make theCarnegie Center ofColumbia Tusculum acommunity gatheringspace. TONY JONES/STAFF

St. Ursula Academy stu-dents recently collected 669large packing boxes of food –more thanoneboxper student –to help the needy in GreaterCincinnati and Appalachia.

The students also collectedjust under $1,000 in monetarydonations and more than 200blankets.

This effort, coordinated bythe Community Service Office,under the guidance of RachelKemper and Peggy Platz was ahuge success on many levels.Student leadersGraceCostello,Kaela Shannon and DarbySchwarz organized and publi-cized the drive.

The students distributed fli-

ers prior to their collectiondates in late October and earlyNovember in their own neigh-borhoods all over the Tristate.

The fliers informed neigh-bors when the students wouldreturn to pick up the requesteddonations which include fooditems, new blankets andmoneycontributions. The proceedswere distributed to local pan-tries including St. Vincent De-Paul Society, Mercy HOMEProgram, and Churches Activein Northside (CAIN).

A group of students person-ally delivered a large supply ofthe food to 250 families throughLucy’s Mission in Harlan Coun-ty, Ky., in the heart of Appala-chia.

There were special incen-tives in each advisory class-room to encourage the students

to reach the collection goal in-cludingacatered lunch forhav-ing the largest number of filledboxes and a “go to the front ofthe cafeteria line pass” for hav-ing the largest monetary andthe largest blanket donations.

“We are thrilledwith the col-laborative effort of the stu-dents, faculty and staff for thesuccess of the canned fooddrive. We are so grateful tohave not only met, but sur-passed our goal this year. Itreally brings to life ourmissionof educating youngwomenwhoarecommitted tobuildingabet-terworld,” said St.UrsulaCom-munity Service Director Ra-chel Kemper.

HYDE PARK — The SummitCountryDaySchool has retiredboys soccer jersey No. 21 – thejersey worn by Austin Berry,the 2012MajorLeagueSoccer’sRookie of the Year.

Flannery Gym was packedwith fans Jan. 4 when Berrytook center court during half-time of the Summit vs. SevenHills basketball game.

Boys soccer varsity headcoach Barnard Baker rattledoff a long list of Berry’s socceraccomplishments at The Sum-mit, the University of Louis-ville and Chicago Fire that cul-minated inNovemberwithBer-ry being named the Rookie ofthe Year.

Berry, who is a native of An-

dersonTownship, spokebrieflyto the crowd and expressed histhanks to The Summit commu-nity and fans who continue tofollow his professional career.“It’s been quite a ride,” he said.

Berry was the ninth overallpick in the Major League Soc-cer’s Super Draft a year agowhen the Chicago Fire tabbedhim. The 6-foot-2 defenderfromAndersonTownship grad-uated from The Summit in2007.

HYDE PARK — Just as theyhave in previous seasons, theWithrow High School boys bas-ketball team hopes to capitalizeon some holiday break successto build their tournament re-sume for next month.

Coach Tyrone Gibert’s Ti-gers again visited the MotorCity Roundball Classic outsideofDetroit in lateDecember andcame away with three victoriesover River Rouge, South FieldLathrup and Canton. Seniorguard Timothy Coleman wasnamed the MVP of the tourna-mentwithgamesof27, 27and31points.

“We get away from all thechitter-chatter here and getawayforfourorfivedays,”Gib-ert said. “It’s a win-win. We’vegone three years in a row andhaven’t lost yet. Every yearthey sic somebody tough on us.All three games were tough.”

As a result, Withrow has asimilar record as last year. Af-ter losing 6-foot-8 top scorerand rebounder Devin Williamsto the Montverde Academy inFlorida in the offseason, it’squite an accomplishment.

Williams signed with WestVirginia Nov. 3.

“Nobody thought we’d beplaying as good as we are with-out Devin,” Gibert said.

Minus the considerable sizethey had last year in the paint,the Tigers have adjusted theirplaying style. Gibert playsthree guards, a forward and acenter and has no one close inheight to last season’s pivotplayer.

“(We’re) getting after it andplaying defense this year,” Gib-ert said. “We’vegotgoodguardsand that helps a lot.”

Coleman has been the obvi-ous bright spot, leading the Cin-cinnati Metro Athletic Confer-ence in scoring. The 6-foot-1senior has been in the rotationsince his sophomore season andhas more than doubled his out-put in points.

“Last year I held him backand that’s my fault,” Gibertsaid. “Everything we did lastyear was geared to Devin. Timcould’ve done this last year.When he was a sophomore Iknew he was going to do histhing like he’s doing now.”

Junior Tyonte Robertson (6feet) and 6-foot-2 senior CoreyWise also average in double dig-its for Withrow.

“He’s stepped up big time,”Gibert said. “He tookabackseatto everybody last year.”

The Tigers have also been

aided by the presence of 6-foot-2 junior DeJuan Jones.Though undersized comparedto lastyear’s frontcourtplayers,Jones has been a reliable re-bounder and shot blocker.

“He had never played highschool basketball,” Gibert said.

“For him to come in and do thisis a blessing in disguise afterlosingDevin.Thingshappenfora reason. I’m a firm believer inthat.”

Included inWithrow’s attackare 6-foot-3 junior Darius Can-non, 5-foot-8 senior guard De-von Ibott and starting center 6-foot-5 Landon Brown-Jackson.All have contributed to the Ti-gers’ attention to detail on de-fense.

One of the highlights of theholiday trip forGibertwashold-ingopponents thatwereaverag-ingmore than80points tounder50.

“We’re playing some goodball and I like being in the gymwith them,” Gibert said. “Ididn’t thinkwewere going to bethis good. I thoughtwe’d beOK.The guys from day one boughtinto everything and it’s carriedover.”

The Withrow schedule is al-ways good and Gibert hopes toavenge an early January loss toWinton Woods come tourna-ment time.

The Tigers next appear Jan.19 at the Cincinnati BasketballShowcase against Turpin.

KENWOOD — Though avisit toCanton inearlyDe-cemberwasnice formanyof Moeller High school’swrestlers, it wasn’t neces-sarily good for the wres-tling team.

Many of coach JeffGaier’s grapplers were inhelmet and shoulder pads

and on the gridiron forJohn Rodenberg at Can-ton’s Fawcett Stadium forthe Crusaders’ Division Ichampionship victoryover ToledoWhitmer.

“We had kind of a slowstart because of our foot-ball players,” Gaier said.“Pretty much half ourlineup was playing for theteam in the state finals. Itput themaboutfourweeksbehind.”

Gaier’s group is nowback to full strength, butthe downside of prep foot-ball success is usually asluggishstart towinterac-tivities.

It’sapricemostschools

would gladly pay.In Moeller’s case, once

the Crusaders remove theholiday rust, they’ll likelybe fully reloaded for an-other successful tourna-ment run and more statematches in March at theSchottenstein Center atOhio State.

The 2013 Moeller matmen are deep in11th-grad-ers, meaning the pins willcontinue along Montgo-mery Road and variousvenues into 2014.

Moeller’s juniors in-clude Chalmer Frueauf,Dean Meyer, QuintonRosser, Dakota Sizemore,Max Swoboda, and Jerry

Thornberry. All have sig-nificant experience andmost were first- or sec-ond-team all-GCL lastyear.

WyattWilson at152 andAndrew Mendel at 138pounds are the seniorleaders and also all-leagueperformers. The Crusad-

ershavenooneat theJoeyWard (two-time statechampion) level, but stillhave great potential forthe state meet, accordingto Gaier.

At the lower weights,Moeller has been gettingwins from Conner Zieglerat 113 pounds and transfer

Connor Barton at 126.Coming in from Colum-bus, the sophomore Bar-ton has been a nice addi-tion.

At 120, another Ward isworkingonhisrésumé.Ja-coby Ward is the lonefreshman starter for theCrusaders.

Seniors Andrew Men-del and Wyatt Wilson arelooking at college offersand the junior class is pre-paring for the same.

Long-time CincinnatiCountry Day head coachHoward Brownstein andcompany were hard-pressed to think the Indi-ans had much of a shotthis season.

The program lost akey player who trans-ferredout of state,whichhurt a team already des-perate for size and play-er that could play in thepaint.

“We were ponderingthe worst because wedidn’t have any size,”Brownstein said.

But CCD’s stellarguard play has lifted theIndians to 8-2 startthrough10 games. Enter-ing the week of Jan. 7,they were tied with Cin-cinnatiChristianfor firstplace in theMVC ScarletDivision.

“We’re happywith theway kids have played,”Brownstein said. “We’replaying a 5-foot-11 postplayer and just guardsand really no inside play-ers. We’ve just been do-ing the best we can with-out having anybodythere.”

Brownstein said theIndianshavemadeupforheight by playing tena-cious full-court defense.

He said the style ofplay results in more shot

attempts.One player making

the most of the opportu-nities is junior J.R.Meni-fee.

During a holiday tour-nament game againstHartselle, Ala. Dec. 27,the Indians trailed byseven with five minutesto play. Brownstein saidMenifee played excel-lent down the stretchandfinishedwith19points en

route to the 47-43 CCDwin.

He also came up bigwith 13 points and 8 re-bounds against rivalClark Dec. 14.

The 47-42 victory setthe tone for the season,according to Brown-stein.

“The last couple ofyears we’ve struggledwith Clark, and that wasas just important for tobeat themat their place,”he said. “It changed thetone and said we couldcompete.”

Sophomore guard Ca-leb Tregre has also beena key contributor andleads the team with 11.8points per game.

The team’s third-lead-ing scorer, guard WyattFletcher, is also averag-ing double-digit figures(10.3 ppg), which has giv-en the squad a balancedattack toward thebasket.

The post duties havefallen on 5-foot-11 seniorTrent Babb, who’s aver-aging 6.1 points and 6.2rebounds per contest.

Babb’s been joineddown low by 6-foot-3 for-ward Matt Walton. Thejunior has size, but has athin frame and was pri-marily a perimeter play-er before this year, ac-cording to Brownstein.

“If we don’t, anybodycan beat us, and I thinkthe kids know that goinginto the game. We’re notat the point where we’retalented or big enough.We have to come andplay hard if we’re goingto be in it,” he said.

Shared services refers tocommunities and governmentoffices teaming up to takeadvantage of economies ofscale to deliver required ser-vices. The state administra-tion continues to offer it assomething new and wonder-ful, as a possible way forcounties, cities, village andtownships to try and deal withthe state’s excessive and ex-treme cuts in local govern-ment funding.

The reality is many havebeen sharing services foryears. Most local govern-ments and public offices al-ways work together as often

as they can.They do notneed to beencouraged todo so. It is notan original orreal solutionto the loss oflong standing,significantstate support.

Our officewas among

the first to participate whenthen Clerk of Courts Jim Cis-sell proposed a combinedcounty mail facility in 1992.When the city of Cincinnaticlosed down its Weights and

Measures Department in1996, our staff took over thatresponsibility in the city –and did it with no additionalstaff.

For many years key countynetwork servers along withthe county commissioners’agenda system was supportedthrough a joint operation withthe city of Cincinnati. Duringthe past year the city ex-pressed the desire to con-clude this service. So muchfor depending on anothergovernment entity.

County administrationturned to us for help. I imme-diately asked our talented

and professional informationtechnology staff to assist.They have been working onthe project for severalmonths and the transition of

support will be completedsoon. The county will havebetter control of these sys-tems and services and somemodest savings are antici-pated.

Shared services is a nobleconcept but it is not innova-tive nor is it a panacea. Itcertainly cannot replace thefunds state government hastaken away from local andcounty governments. Localgovernments help each otherall the time. Let us not call thecommonplace special.

Shared services ...certainly cannotreplace the fundsstate government hastaken away fromlocal and countygovernments.

Last week’s questionWho were the “winners” and

who were the “losers” in thebudget deal passed by Congressand signed by the president toavoid the fiscal cliff?

“There are no winners, cer-tainlynot theAmericanpeople.Congress hasn't passed a bud-get in almost three years, andour national debt is very closeto $17 trillion, and none of thepeople with the power to doanything is really addressingwhere cuts should be made inour spending (and it doesn't allhave to be on the backs of theSocial Security recipients.)

“If we get through fourmore years of Obama's monar-chy without our country be-coming another Greece, it willbe a miracle.”

Bill B.

“That's an easy one. The pol-iticians are thewinners and theAmerican people are the los-ers.”

J.S.K.

“We are all losers because itdidnot address spending inanymeaningful way. As a practic-ing tax accountant specializingin personal taxation, I canspeak to some of the tax as-pects.

“Social Security gets backits previously lost 2 percent ofwage income and everyonewho pays in loses 2 percent oftheirwages,but this is just a re-turn to the normal rate that hasbeen in effect a long time.

“Everyone with taxable in-come wins because the first$17,850 (married) of their tax-able income stays at10 percentinstead of rising to 15 percent.This matters most to lower in-come people.

“People with investment in-come whose overall income isunder $400,000 to $450,000 con-tinue to enjoy a 0 percent to 15percent capital gains rate. Thiswill make most retirees andmiddle income investors veryhappy.

“Everyone with taxable in-come wins because rates didnot go up 3 percent or more inevery bracket. High incomepeople lose because above$400,000 their income may betaxed 3-5 percent more plushealthcare surcharges.

“The biggest losers are ourmembers of Congress becausethey looked like fightingcats ina duffel bag during this proc-ess. They should all beashamed of themselves andweshould thinkhardabout replac-ing them with people with abrain.”

F.S.D.

“I amadverse to thewinnersand losers aspect of the ques-tion.Government shouldnotbea contest ofwinners and losers,meaning, when did negotia-tions become a synonym forsurrender? Or a contest to bewon or lost? But to get to themain thrust ofyourquestion: tome it was just a preview of themain attraction, sort of like atthemovies the previewshave alot of action and noise, but noconnection to the main event.

“Certain things need to beworked out (negotiated, if youwill), That includes copingwith an aging population (howto pay for Social Security andmedical costs, which is not thesame question as 'should we?'),is it worthwhile to continue de-fense spending which is morethan the rest of the world com-bined, if not, howmuch to safe-ly cut?; balancing out whatshould be subsidized for howmuch and for how long, and Isure there are many more.

“SinceCongress has toworkthose out it never did makesense to try to resolve it with alame duck Congress in 30 daysminus the holidays. Unfortu-nately, in Washington nowa-days there are more lobbyiststhan members of Congress.And some of them are backedby enormous war che$t$ ofmoney, all set to hire a bunch ofdeep voiced sarcastic voice-over announcers along withdistorted pictures of thosewhodid not do what they wantedthemtodo.Thenu$e themoneyand pictures to blast on TV.

“And, according to currentlaw, they do not have to signtheir names. Unfortunately,that is where government is,and Iammoreconcernedaboutthat than where I might end upafter honest negotiation in thehalls of Congress."

F.N.

“If the reports are accurate,Hollywood, big banks, WallStreet,NASCARandPuertoRi-can rum cashed in big-time. Onthe other hand my grandchil-dren have unwittinglyamassed a debt that may de-stroy their generation – if

America makes it that far intothe future.”

R.V.

“Thewinners are, of course,all the folks we blindly re-elected. Pay raises and perksgo unchecked by voters andmedia simply won't exposethem while they deride thebusiness sector in their dailypapers.

“The losers are, of course,then, the taxpayers (witnesshow no entity has ANY skin inthis made up 'fiscal cliff'game).WhileALLentitieshavecontracts, citizens now haveabsolutely no one to protectthem.”

K.P.“Who was the winner (our

King ) and who was the loser(We the people, of the people,and for the people ).Whatmorecan be said.”

D.J.

“Everyone is a loser in thedeal. A loser is themiddle classdue to a 2 percent increase inpayroll taxes on income lessthan $113,000. Another loser isfuture generations sincespending cuts and deficit re-duction gets kicked down theroad again.

“Also, losing is high-incomeearners who will see their tax-es go up, but only on incomeabove $450,000. They may alsoface increased taxes on un-earned income due to the Af-fordable Care Act tax takingeffect in 2013.

“Investors and job seekerslose because of continued eco-nomic uncertainty with no de-cision on the federal debt ceil-ing and spending cuts. Somecorporations may be winnerssince they got handed somepork and there was no tax re-form to the corporate incometax.”

D.M.

“As always, no matter whatCongress votes on regardingthis country's budget, the win-ners are Congress, the losersare the taxpayers.

“Just once, I would like tosee any Congress member paytheir own health insurance,pay the outrageousmedical de-ductibles, and pay co-pays tomedical care providers. Dothat on a very limited budgetwhen you have to decide whichbill gets paid in a given monthas not to lose a service, house,etc.”

O.H.R.

“I think the big winnerswere the areas like Madeira,Mariemont, and Terrace Park,since their taxes will maintain

relatively flat.“The big losers were those

of us in IndianHill, the job cre-ators and economy driverswhose tax rates are now goingto go up. We're tired of subsi-dizing those that live aroundus.”

I.P.

“We're all losers. I don'tknow of any other situationwhere a budget doesn't includeincome and expenditure. Evenon last night's news therewas acaption that showed 'tax reve-nue' and 'budget' as if the twowere unrelated line items.

“If themembersof the legis-lature were employed in anybusiness in the country theywould be fired for failing to dotheir job. We didn't sendenough of them packing in No-vember.

“This is not a party issue.Both sides want to 'give' totheir constituency and havetheir opponents 'make sacri-fices.’Beyond that, theyall for-get that government spendingdoes create jobs. At the sametime we laud companies that'become more efficient' by re-ducing the 'labor content' oftheir product, i.e. they reduceemployment either by firing oravoiding hiring.

“Solving theSocialSecurity/Medicare problems by in-creasing the eligibility agebyacouple of years is equivalent toincreasing the workforce by 5percent, butdoesn't create jobsso it will drive up unemploy-ment.

“We have a highly complex,interrelated set of problems onour hands that won't be solvedby a simple set of 'one liners.’We should take a lead from theCatholic Church and lock themall in a conference center withno inboundcommunicationandonly black and white smoke tosignal agreement or not till thejob is done. And yes, the resultwill be a long-term, painfulprocess for all of us since wewon't get all our dreams an-swered. But our children willbe better off.”

D.R.

“The winners were themand the losers are us.”

D.D.

“It’s not about winners andlosers – it’s about compromise.The individuals who refuse tocompromise and accept thelaw are the losers. Our systemis built upon compromise andimproving upon all legislationpassed.

“The no voters for this legis-lation now have the responsi-bility to try to improveupon it –

and find a new path of compro-mise. The next twomonthswillprovide many more opportuni-ties to find compromise.”

G.W.

“The progressives were ob-viously the winners. The peo-ple ofAmericawere the losers,virtually everyone getting hitwith a tax hike.

“Wewere conned still again,just as we were with Obama-care; more money coming outof our pockets and going to thegovernment. The presidentsays that the governmentdoesn't have a spending prob-lem, but hehasdonenothing to-wards paying down this coun-try's debt and will continue toborrow from China until Chinarefuses to lend any more.

“Harry Reid has not passeda budget in the Senate for thepast three years. We each willagain have to revise our bud-gets, thanks to what the gov-ernment is doing to us; it mustbe nice to be Harry Reid.

“And next, the White Housewill be takingmore of ourmon-ey by limiting deductions afterall; and they will reduce thesize of our military, puttingmore people out of work andleaving our shores and world-wide facilities more vulnera-ble than ever.

“One step closer to NO mid-dle class, one step closer to theend of American exceptional-ism, one step closer to tyranny.

“Republicans,don't let thesebully tactics get to you anymore, don't let them get awaywith anymore fabrications andcharacter assassinations!”

Howmany of youhave made homemadedrop dumplings fromscratch?

Actually, they’re easyenough for kids to make,with your guidance.Dumplings are so goodcooked on top of soup orstew, or simply dropped

into hotbroth. AndI guaran-tee you’llget “oohs”and “aahs”from thoseluckyenough toenjoythem.

Also, Ihad men-

tioned that I had recipesfor hot dilled vegetablesand said if you wantedany, let me know. Therequests for hot dillybeans were too numerousfor me to mail, etc., soI’m sharing that onetoday. I also have a nicerecipe for Korean kim-chi, which is fast becom-ing trendy, on my blog.

DumplingsFirst, have your soup,

stew or broth boiling onthe stove.

1 cup flour11⁄2 teaspoons bakingpowder

1⁄4 teaspoon salt1⁄2 cupmilk3 tablespoons butter orequivalent

Bit of minced or driedparsley (optional)

Pepper to taste

Whisk flour, bakingpowder and salt. Addparsley. Make a well incenter. Heat milk withbutter until butter melts.

Pour into well and mix.Dough will look shaggyand very sticky. Don’tover mix. Turn heat downon soup to simmer. Usean ice cream scoopsprayed with cookingspray to drop dumplingscarefully on top of liquid,leaving some space inbetween for expansion.Put lid on. No peeking!Simmer 6-8 minutes oruntil largest dumpling isdone: cut in half to test.Dumplings expand todouble or even triple.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Baking powder: Notsure if it still has leav-ening power? Put a bit inwarmwater, it shouldfizz up quickly if it’s still

good.

Hot dilly beansInspired by a Ball

canning recipe. If youdon’t want spicy beans,leave the cayenne out.You can substitute okra,as well but note the dif-ferent processing times.

Now as far as the hotpepper taste is con-cerned, after jars arefilled, taste a bit of thebrine and if you wantmore hot pepper, go forit. But remember, as thepickles sit, the hot pep-per flavor will get moreintense.

4 pint canning jars with lids2 pounds trimmed greenbeans

21⁄2 cups clear or cidervinegar

21⁄2 cups water1⁄4 cup Kosher salt4 teaspoons minced garlic4 generous teaspoons dillseeds

12 whole peppercorns1 teaspoon cayenne pepperflakes, divided

Sterilize jars in a potof boiling water for 15minutes or run throughdishwasher. Keep ringsand lids in hot water.Keep jars hot.

Brine:Bring vinegar, water

and salt to boil. Packbeans tightly in jars,leaving 1⁄4 inch head-space. To each jar, add 1teaspoon each of garlicand dill seeds, three pep-percorns and 1⁄4 teaspooncayenne. Pour boilingbrine over. Wipe rimswith clean wet cloth. Putlids and rings on andprocess in boiling waterbath for 8 minutes. Ifmaking okra, process 12minutes. Let sit about amonth (I know it’s hard)before tasting. These arepantry stable.

Refrigerator dillybeans

No processing in boil-ing water bath. After youput lids on, let cool oncounter and then refrig-erate. Again, wait about amonth before tasting.

Two-way poppyseed dressing

Citrus fruits are inseason! Try this for top-ping a salad made fromoranges, grapefruits, a

handful of chopped pars-ley and a thinly slicedshallot.

Whisk:

Zest and juice of one lemon2 tablespoons pure maplesyrup

1⁄2 to 3⁄4 teaspoon poppyseeds

1⁄4 cup sour cream or Greekyogurt

Salt to taste

Tips from readers’kitchens

Friendshipmuffins:JoAnn S. said she makesmuffins with the puddingrecipe of Friendshipbread. She loves to tweakrecipes. “Foil cupcakeliners work best. I haveadded 1/2-3/4 cup of Crai-sins, blueberries, raisinsand/or nuts to batterbefore filling and toppedeach with a teaspoon of amixture of cinnamonsugar and finely choppednuts before baking. Bakeat 350 degrees for 15-20minutes or till a tooth-pick comes out clean.”

Readers want toknow

“What is a tomatoknife?” It’s a small, ser-rated knife with a point-ed end to pare out cores.A serrated bread knifecuts tomatoes, somefruits and even eggplant,nicely. It just won’t havethe pointed tip for coring.

When shopping for aused car, the salesmanmay encourage you tobuy a warranty.

But that warrantymay turn out to be littlemore than a waste ofmoney unless you’recareful.

Matthew Terlau, ofLawrenceburg, Ind.,bought a vehicle from aused car dealer nearlytwo years ago. He saysthe salesman convincedhim to buy the warrantyat a cost of about $1,500.

“They recommendedit. They went throughthat warranty. Theytalked it up like it was abig company and theydid real good work. I wasunder the impression itwas a big company,”Terlau said.

Thecompany,MajesticWarrantyof Frank-lin, Ind.,had a con-tract thatclaimed tocover a lotof items.But when

Terlau called to get re-pair work approved, hesays he was given therunaround.

“I’ve tried callingthem. At first they wouldanswer the phone andthey would refer you todifferent mechanics andthen, the past year, it wasreally hard to contactthem,” Terlau said.

Terlau said he wantedto take the vehicle to a

dealership for repairs,but the warranty compa-ny wouldn’t let him. In-stead, he was told to go tosmall, independent automechanics. The firstmechanic, he said, wasunable to find the prob-lem. The second mechan-ic was helpful but, Terlausaid, “He did all the esti-mates and turned theminto them. But then Icould never get ahold ofthe mechanic again.”

If you thinkMajesticWarranty would thenallow him to go to anoth-er repair shop, thinkagain. Terlau discoveredMajestic had gone out ofbusiness and filed bank-ruptcy late last year –taking his $1,500 with it.

“I thought it was agood deal. I was getting a

warranty that says itcovers what it’s supposedto and now, two yearslater, I’ve never got noth-ing,” Terlau said.

Unfortunately, hear-ing that an extended autowarranty company hasgone out of business isnot unusual. So, if you’reconsidering buying sucha warranty there arecertain steps you need totake to protect yourself.

First, find out whereyou can take your vehiclefor repairs. Ideally, youshould be able to take itanywhere.

Second, make sure thecontract is backed by alicensed, regulated insur-ance company. That wayyou can still file a claimeven if the warrantycompany goes out ofbusiness.

Third, check out thecompany with the BetterBusiness Bureau. TheBBB has no record ofMajestic Warranty.

Finally, after you payfor the warranty, getwritten confirmation ofthe policy, just to be sureyour money was reallysent to the company andnot kept by the dealer.
