COLLECTIONTIME Kennedy said the image on

the curtains was appropriate.A Celtic knot is typical of

Irish art, she said.Call it the luck of the Irish,

but following a number of dis-cussions with the city and otherrepresentatives, the 44,000square foot building opened asthe Irish Heritage Center ofGreater Cincinnati in Novem-ber 2009.

“There hadn’t been a (Irish)center, but for decades peoplehadwantedone,” saidKentCov-

MaureenA.Kennedyknew itwas a sign.

The Hyde Park resident saidwhile viewing a building thathad formerly been the locationof McKinley School, she sawcurtains around the stage areaadorned with the image of Celt-ic knots.

The school, which had closedseveral years earlier,wasunderconsideration as apossible loca-tion for a new Irish HeritageCenter.

Newtown residents will beasked tovoteTuesday,Nov.4, ona proposal to allow Miami Val-ley Christian Academy to buildsports amenities such as a foot-ball field with bleachers atShort Park.

That’s even though voterswill not be able to first review a“joint venture” agreement be-tween Newtown, which ownsthe park, and the academy be-cause it is still beingnegotiated.

And it’s also even thoughNewtown Village Council willnot be legally bound by the bal-lots cast.

The Miami Valley ChristianAcademy at 6830 School St. inNewtown has been using ShortPark, located at 3623 Church St.in the village, for five years.

Academy officials want tobuild and pay for more sportsamenities in hopes that willtranslate into more students atthe school.

Newtown Village Council-man Mark Kobasuk spearhead-ed themove to ask residents foran advisory opinion on the pro-posal.

“Certain issues are simplytoo important to be left to a vil-lage council which may not al-ways represent the will of thepeople,” Kobasuk said.

“Short Park has been a parkfor 50 years and some residentshave expressed opposition tothe construction of the athleticfacilities in the park.

“I thought a ballot issuewould be best, as it would givethe entire village an opportuni-ty to decide the future of ShortPark,” Kobasuk said.

Unlike some other councilmembers, Kobasuk said he is

“totally committed” to follow-ing the advisory opinion of thevillage residents who vote Nov.4.

“The language was draftedthat way so council has leewayin the unlikely event it cannotobtain acceptable contractterms with (Miami ValleyChristian Academy) in theagreement,” Kobasuk said.

“For example, if the villageresidents vote ‘yes’ on the issue,council still needs to have ade-quate contract terms to protectthe village, such as indemnifi-cation by (Miami Valley Chris-tian Academy) for certainthings.”

The wording of the ShortPark ballot issue – Issue 27 –clearly characterizes it as an“advisory election” and asksvoters whether they believeNewtown should negotiate a 25-year “joint venture” agreementwith theMiamiValleyChristianAcademy that would include anoption for a second 25-yearterm.

The ballot also says thesports amenities the academywants to build and pay for inShort Park include an athleticfieldwithbleachers, a trackanda baseball field that would beopen to Newtown residents andto other groups approvedby thevillage and school when not inuse by the school.

In addition to thestage, the building in-cludes a library andmu-seum, music and dancerooms and even “a pubroom.”

Ithasservedas the lo-cation for a number ofvenues, most recently aperformance by theIrish rock band“Black47.”

“We try to create theculture and heritage ofIreland,” said Kennedy,who serves as artistic di-rector.

The age of the build-ing dates back to shortlyafter the Civil War. Anadditional wing of thebuilding was added in1917.

To provide funds formaintenance of thebuilding, the Irish Heri-tage Center holds an an-nual “Green Tie Affair.”

This year’s gala willstart 6 p.m. Saturday,Nov.1, at thecenter, 3905Eastern Ave.

It will include music,dance and silent auction.Another highlight is the“traveling dinner,” inwhich guests will sam-ple a variety of Irishfood.

The theme is “For theLove of Ireland.”

The cost is $60 formembers of the center,$65 for non-members.

“We’re trying to con-tinually get the wordout,” said Covey, a HydeParkresidentwho isalsopresident of the IrishHeritage Center. “Ourgoal is to have this re-main as a center forIrish culture in perpetu-ity.”

posed putting the propos-al to a vote of residents.

“I stated publicly dur-ing the initial debate that Ithought the Short Parkproposal was right for thevillage and that I didn’tneed an advisory opinionto convince me of that,”Harten said.

“My subsequent con-versations with villageresidents over the pastseveral months have onlystrengthened my view.”

Although Newtown of-

ficials are not releasingthe latest draft of a jointventure agreement withthe Miami Valley Chris-tian Academy, some vil-lage officials are divulg-ing some details.

Kobasuk said the draftagreement is not a lease.

“There is no rent pay-ment,” Kobasuk said.

“This is a joint ventureagreement,whereinNew-town provides the land inShort Park and (MiamiValley Christian Acad-emy) constructs the im-provements.”

Kobasuk said the draftagreement also calls forthe academy to make a$50,000 contribution toNewtown.

“It is still very prelimi-nary andonly reflects dis-cussion; nothing essen-tially has been resolved,”said Councilwoman Che-ryl McConnell, who sup-ports the Short Park ini-tiative.

“If residents vote yesfor Issue 27 on Nov. 4, thenext step will likely be tohave two council mem-bers and two membersfrom (Miami ValleyChristian Academy) takethe preliminary discus-sion to the next level forfinal council approval.

“A board comprised offivememberswill governall issues in relation to theproposed changes atShort Park: the mayor,

two council members andtwo (Miami Valley Chris-tian Academy) members,giving thevillage the finalsay on all matters,”McConnell said.

McConnell said thatwhile the Nov. 4 vote ofNewtown residents willnot technically be a bind-ing opinion, “I believecouncil will listen to resi-dents and vote according-ly.”

“I believe residentswill provide a resoundingresponse to Issue 27which will make our deci-sion clear,” McConnellsaid.

What it’s about:Ballotissue is for a $103 millionbond issue and .5-mill per-manent improvement taxlevy.

What it would do:Funding would go towardrenovations to Andersonand Turpin high schools,Nagel Middle School andfive of the six elementaryschools.AnewWilsonEle-mentary School will alsobe built. Additionally, thebond issue covers facilityconsiderations for all-daykindergarten.

How things are now:The district previouslyhad a 1.86-mill bond issueon the ballot in May 2013,which was defeated.

Howmuch itwill cost:The bond issue will be for32-and-a-half years andcost the owner of a$100,000 home an addi-tional $173.25 a year.

Argument for: Schoolofficials and levy sup-porters say the success ofthisbond issue isessentialin addressing the condi-tion of deterioratingbuildings in the districtand that the buildingsneed to be brought up to

21st century standards.Argument against:

Opponents say a broaderplan involving more thanjust renovations would bepreferable.

Who’s for it: The For-estHills school board vot-ed four to one to proceedwith a bond issue. Parentsand teachers have spokenin favor of the bond issueandtheneedtorestore theaging schools at variousschool board meetings.

Who’s against it: Al-though no official opposi-tion was formed, a num-ber of residents have ex-pressedreservationswiththe current plan. Morethan 40 residents signed aletter to district officialsin June asking them to re-consider the plan beingsubmitted to voters.SchoolBoardMember Ju-lie Bissinger, who was theonly boardmember not tovote in favor of puttingthe current bond issue onthe ballot, has also ex-pressed misgivings aboutthe plan. Some are con-cerned that the plan doesnot go far enough.

McNicholasHighSchoolwasoh-so-close to pulling off a pairof district soccer champion-ships. The girls teamgot the jobdone, continuing its postseasondominancewith anOct. 25 shut-out of Dayton Carroll. The boysteamcouldnot havecomemuchcloser, losing the district cham-pionship on penalty kicks fol-lowing a scoreless tie with Bell-brook on Oct. 23.

Now, the Lady Rockets arefocused on winning a regionaltitle. Last season, they werebounced in the regional semifi-nal by Alter. This year, theirchance to improveon that finishcame on Oct. 28 against Wyo-ming. The Lady Rockets havelost just one match this season,and survived and thrived de-spite a grueling regular seasonschedule.

“I started to realize that thisyear’s teamcould be pretty spe-cial following the (Sept. 11) win

over St. Ursula. That win wasthe fourth win in one of thehardest string of games we hadthis season,” said head coachBen Kirkpatrick. “I knew goingin to that stretch thatourresultswould tell a lot about this team’sability and mental strength. Wecame out of that stretch 4-0 andonly giving up one goal.”

The cross country seasonwrapped up for area runners atthe regional meets on Oct. 25.The Redskins and Spartanswere represented at the region-al meet at Troy High School.The Rockets finished their sea-sonaweekearlier at thedistrictmeet at Voice of America Park.

Nick Stone, Josh Gittelman,and Cara Schildmeyer ad-vanced to regionals for Ander-son, along with Turpin girls Oli-via Connaughton and RachelScardina. Turpin’s boys teamplaced fourth in the district,good enough to qualify as ateam for the regional meet.Alex Tanner, Andrew Patty,Dante Marcon, Graham Weav-er,andRyanWiesmanallplacedin the top 25 at thedistrictmeet.Tanner paced the team with a44th-placefinishat theregional.The team finished ninth in theregion.

The Rockets narrowlymissed qualifying for the re-

gional meet. The girls teamplaced fifth in the district, ledby junior Beth Simmons, seniorMichelle Hollenkamp, andfreshman Meagan Taylor. Theboys team also placed fifth inthe district, led by senior EricFrey and juniors JacksonDurm

and Adam Neltner. The boyswere 11 points away from qual-ifyingfor theregional,while thegirlsmissed by just nine points.

One of the most memorablemoments at the regional meetcame courtesy of two runnerswho fell well short of their high

expectations, but showed whatis important. Sycamore’s RosieMenyhert, who placed third atthe district meet, was injuredand was crawling toward thefinish line. Anderson’s Schild-meyer was struggling in herown right thanks to two nasty

foot blisters, but turned back tocheck on her on-course rival.

“They say sports revealscharacter and that was an ex-ample,” said Redskins headcoach Andy Wolf. “You don’tcoach stuff like that.”

Schildmeyer’s blisters werethe latest calamity she faced inthis trying season. She dealtwith leg injuries and foot inju-ries all season. Doctors finallyprescribed her with orthotics,to which she is still adjusting.Qualifying for the regional byplacing 11th at the district meetwas an impressive accomplish-ment for the junior.

“She is the luckiest runnerI’ve ever had,” said Wolf, whohas been coaching for 44 years.“Unfortunately, it’s all bad luck.I’ve never had a runner with somany physical obstacles toovercome.”

and gave theRockets con-fidence that they coulddefeat any opponent.

The defense has con-tinued to impress.McNick has allowed just10 goals in 18matches (17-1-0), postingawhopping11shutouts. The Rocketsoutscored their postsea-son opponents 13-0through en route to thedistrict title.

“There are severalkeys to our shutouts thisseason. It starts at theback with our four start-ing defenders and ourgoalie. Those five girlshave played extremelywell over the season andthe defenders do a lot ofwork to ensure that Lau-ren Rice doesn’t have toface many challengingshots,” said Kirkpatrick.“We also have absolutefaith, that if we do give upa shot, Laurenwill be ableto make a save on it. Wehave worked hard on thecommunication betweenthose fiveplayers tomakesure that players arepicked up and that we are

pressuring quickly.”The offense comple-

ments the defense. TheRockets focus on possess-ing the ball, which helpslimit opponent’s scoringopportunities, said Kirk-patrick. Center defendersHaleigh Haugh and Lau-ren Pearson have beencritical on both fronts.

They help secure andmaintain possession ofthe ball and prevent Hillfrom facing manychances from the oppos-ing attack.

Sophie Gorman’s hattrick provided more thanenough offense to securethe district championshipvictory.

The boys team went tothe limit in its district fi-nal, losingonpenaltiesde-spite a valiant effort.Goalkeeper Duncan Weircameupbigwithsixsavesin regulation.

The newcomer againproved his worth to theteam, and the junior willbe a major player for theRockets in 2015.

did not have all sevenrunners finish the race.On the boys side, Stonealso struggled with theelements. He started toget woozy and dealt witha headache over the lastmile of the race. TheRedskins junior startedto tire late in the season,but is expected to returnon amission next season.His teammate and class-mate Gittelman sur-prised many with his im-provement this season.They hope to carry theRedskins team in 2015.

“They’re both anxiousto get back here withtheir teammates nextyear,” said Wolf. “Theywere very upbeat andare certainly very opti-mistic heading into theoffseason.”

The Spartansmust re-place four seniors fromthis year’s Eastern Cin-cinnati Conferencechampionship squad. Ju-niors Ben Norton andGraham Weaver andsophomore Ben Gothardwill be tasked with de-fending the title. Thegirls squad has an evenbetter chance to repeatas ECC champs. Both ofTurpin’s regional qualifi-ers, sophomore Con-naughton and juniorScardina will be backnext season.

Gittelman’s progressis an example of whatthese returning runnerscan accomplish next sea-son. He became more

conscious of his eatinghabits and more consis-tent in his training. Heimproved his strengthand the results on thecourse showed. His sea-son culminated with a28th-place finish at theregional meet.

“He came such a longway this year. He reallyhad a great year,” saidWolf. “Anytime you ove-rachieve at the regionalmeet, that’s a goodthing.”

Vote for the fiscallyresponsible, equitableplan

In response to Ruth Grant-Bailey’s letter, I find it hard tobelieve that $103 million can becalled a Band-aid. What we’redoing now to patch ceilingsfrom repetitive water damagefrom leaking roofs is a band-aid. The list goes on. $103 mil-lion is the fiscally responsiblefix. Asking the community toborrow outside our debt limitand pay an even higher taxrate doesn’t make a bettercure, it’s just a more expensiveone.

In response to Pete Schia-no’s letter, I respect everyone’sright to form their own opin-ions, but want to make surevoters also know the following:

Pete states: “Yes, we canborrowmore then the $103

million if we follow stateguidelines.” If we follow OFCCguidelines, not state guide-lines. OFCC would allow thedistrict to borrow above ourmeans at an “all-in” require-ment. For example, it wouldrequire replacing the entireroof at Anderson High School,yet, portions of the roof havebeen recently updated, and arestill under warranty. FollowingOFCC guidelines would re-quire elementary school con-solidation and a higher taxrate.

Pete states: “There is amaintenance tax levy hidden inthis bond proposal, a tax in-crease.” He’s referring to thePI fund that is already fac-tored in to the $14.44/ $100,000home cost. It allows approxi-mately $600,000 more per yearto go towards curricular needs.(www.foresthills-

bond2014.com)Pete states: “The board is

planning another operatinglevy within the next 18months.” The district hasstretched taxpayers dollars,extending the need for an oper-ating levy to at least 2017.Bond issues like Issue 4 cannotbe used for anything but facil-ities needs. If bond issue 4 doesnot pass, we have no choice butto continue to band-aid thefacilities’ needs using the gen-eral fund and issues like secu-rity and accessibility will gounaddressed.

Restore funding cuts toPWC

People Working Coopera-tively plays a crucial role inthe City of Cincinnati provid-

ing critical home repairs andservices so that low income,elderly, disabled homeownersand veterans can remain intheir homes living indepen-dently in a safe and healthyenvironment.

Our mission to help as manypeople in our community as wecan is now at serious risk. TheCity of Cincinnati, who weconsider a supportive partner,has recommended a reductionon PWC’s budget. Recent ac-tion by City Council and theMayor has restored some ofthe recommended reduction.For this we are appreciative.

However, PWC is so effec-tive in maximizing every dol-lar, I believe the funding needsto be restored in full. The or-ganization is ranked in thehighest category by the Com-munity Development AdvisoryBoard and is a model for or-

ganizations around the coun-try.

For every dollar the Cityallocates to PWC, PWC turns itinto $3 by creatively securingmatching gifts and grants. Inturn, the loss of every dollar isactually a loss of $3 to the PWCbudget. Continuing full fi-nancial support of PWC is sucha wise investment by Cincin-nati in Cincinnati and a wiseuse of the taxpayer dollars.

I am asking our city leadersto reconsider cuts to PWC andto restore all funding to thiseffective and efficient organi-zation. The city’s return oninvestment with PWC is sig-nificant but the impact ofPWC’s work in our Cincinnatineighborhoods and families isfar greater.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Oct. 22 questionTwowomenwere killed

when hit by a vehicle whilewalking along Old ColerainAvenue and East Miami RiverRoad earlier this month. Whatprecautions do you take whenwalking?

“Walk/run facing traffic –and step aside when you seetraffic coming. Wear brightcolored clothing (even reflec-tive clothing) to assure youare easily seen by oncomingvehicles.”

C.G.

“When walking along anyroadway I always, always,always walk on the left sideagainst traffic. At least thatwill give me a fightingchance to see if someone in acar is drifting onto the shoul-der and right toward me. If aperson is walking on the rightside of the road, the onlywarning they have of immi-nent death or maiming is thefateful and oh-so-painful feelof metal on skin and bones.When walking in or near anactive roadway I assume thatI am invisible to the car andtake the personal responsibil-ity to get out of their way. Ifit is dark or dusk I wear re-flective clothing or a vest. Ialso keep in the forefront ofmy brain the simple fact thatin a car vs. pedestrian con-test, the car (or truck) will

always win.”M.J.F.

“I really like to walk andconsider it a perfect non-damaging, low cost, exercise.After leaving a job that pro-vided me with the opportuni-ty to frequently take verylong walks in new places, Itried several ways to use ourpublic roadways and side-walks to see Anderson from anew perspective. Now, I havea volunteer position that cankeep me on my feet forhours, and, so far, help mekeep those ‘unemploymentinches’ from requiring a newwardrobe.

“I don’t know what time ofday this took place, but obvi-ously, if it was at night, wehave all seen pedestrians whoseem clueless when it comesto wearing highly visibleclothing or reflective belts ifwalking at night. Walking onthe side of the road, facing

traffic, in most cases allowsthe walker to determine anoncoming threat. I haven’tmastered selecting routes atall times without sharp bendsin the road, but am extracautious if there is notenough side area to allow meto move out of the way, on theside upon which I am walk-ing. In Anderson Township,many of our subdivisionstreets have sidewalks, forwhich we homeowners payextra taxes. I have a questionfor all those who seem to feelthat walking in the street,even when there are side-walks, is somehow a pedestri-an prerogative. Why?

“By the way, as winterapproaches, walking beforesidewalks are cleaned, orusing the plowed streets be-cause someone hasn’t cleanedtheir sidewalk, is a reallygood way to put a driver in anawkward and undesired posi-tion in already hazardousdriving conditions.”

Don Brown“I walk a lot but I always

walk in daylight facing on-coming traffic. I move off theroad when a car approaches.I prefer to walk on sidestreets where there are side-walks. Walking at dusk orlater scares me. There seemsto be more cars (rush hour)and faster drivers at thattime of day. Go Figure!!!”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONDid you or will you vote earlythis year, or will you wait untilElection Day? Why?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

Over the past three years,Ohio has greatly expanded theopportunity for persons withold convictions to have thoseconvictions erased.

This trend continues withthe passage of Senate Bill 143,championed by State Sen.William Seitz of Cincinnati,which took effect Sept. 19.Just a few years ago, a personcould have only one qualifyingconviction expunged fromtheir record and only if it wasthe only qualifying convictionon the person’s record. Thislaw was amended in 2012 topermit the expungement ofone felony and one misde-meanor conviction or twomisdemeanor convictions, ifthe convictions were not forthe same offense.

The new law will change

the definitionof who is an“eligible of-fender” toanyone whohas been con-victed of anoffense inOhio or anyother juris-diction andwho has notmore than one

felony conviction, not morethan two misdemeanor convic-tions, or not more than onefelony conviction and onemisdemeanor conviction inOhio or any other jurisdiction.Most crimes of violence orthat involve child victims donot qualify for expungement.The new law does remove therequirement that the two mis-

demeanor convictions be fordifferent offenses.

For example, if a personhas a 1990 conviction for un-derage consumption and a1991 conviction for the sameoffense, and otherwise has aclean record, both can now beexpunged.

Ohio law also permits cer-tain traffic offenses to beexpunged where the trafficoffense is so intertwined withan expungeable offense thatthe expungeable offense can-not be sealed without alsosealing the traffic record.

This change will benefit alarge class of people who haveconvictions that arose fromroutine traffic stops. The newlaw makes clear, however, thatif a traffic infraction is ex-punged, any points that were

previously assessed on theperson’s driver’s license willnot be removed by the BMV.This new provision is also notavailable if the traffic convic-tion was for operating a vehi-cle while under the influenceof drugs or alcohol or physicalcontrol of a vehicle while in-toxicated. Other than thisnarrow exception, traffic con-victions are not expungeable.

The process for obtainingan expungement remains thesame, but the new law statesthat if a person is seeking tohave multiple convictionssealed in the same applicationto the court, that the clerk canonly charge one filing fee.Previously, many courts inOhio charged high filing feesfor expungement applicationsinvolving multiple convic-

tions, but the fees are nowcapped at $50 per applicationregardless of if the applicantis seeking to have one or twoconvictions erased.

The bottom line is that ifyou were previously informedthat you were not eligible tohave your conviction(s) ex-punged because you have twomisdemeanor convictions forthe same offense or becausethe records of your convictionwere too closely associatedwith a non-expungeable traf-fic conviction, it might be agood idea to have a legal pro-fessional evaluate your case inlight of the new changes to thelaw.

Changes in Ohio’s expungement law now in effect

ChrisMcDowellCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Can you put limits on imagi-nation? Here at the Girl Scouts,we don’t think so. Every daywe’re inspiring girls to lookbeyond their backyard andthink of the possibilities that liebeyond.

We provide the avenue forthem to reach their full poten-tial, in a supportive, hands-onenvironment where theychoose the activities they pur-sue and lead the way. We em-brace individuality and diversi-ty. Each girl has a role to fulfilland say in what they do andhow they do it. This uniqueapproach is what sets GirlScouts apart.

Girl Scouts is more than justan organization, it’s a move-ment. Girls gain access to ex-periences and opportunitiesthrough Girl Scouts that theymay not have on their own. Weempower them to use their ownperspective and creativity todecide how they want to makean impact upon the communityin which we live. I’ve seen girlswho have traveled to China andNassau, learned fencing andballet, and muchmore thanthey (or we) ever imagined. Webuild girls of courage, confi-dence, and character whomake the world a better place.I’m proud to be a part of that.

Research shows that more

than 90 per-cent of GirlScout parentsthought theirdaughter wasmore confi-dent, mademore friends,and got bettergrades be-cause of theirinvolvement inGirl Scouts.

Wouldn’t you want the samething for your daughter?

We provide new and excit-ing experiences to nearly45,000 girls in 32 counties be-cause of the dedication andhard work of our volunteers.We want to reach more girlsthan ever before, but in orderto do that, we need more volun-teers. You don’t have to be amom, parent, or even a womanto volunteer. You simply needpassion to help create a bettertomorrow for girls in our com-munity. We want them to knowthat they can be absolutelyanything they want to be. Let’smake that happen.

To join or volunteer, pleasevisit girlscouts.org/join. To-gether, we can make the worlda better place.

I had nuts left overfrommaking caramelapples so I decided tomake some peanut brittle.Peanut brittle can be atricky candy to make, andsome of my recipes callfor a candy thermometeralong with the addition ofbaking soda, neither ofwhich this recipe re-quires. I will tell you that

this peanutbrittledoesn’thave the“snap” andsomewhatairy tex-ture oftraditionalbrittle.Regard-less, it’ssooo good.

I’mthinking I should havewaited until the holidaysto share since it makes afabulous gift.But youknowme, if I make some-thing that is awesomelygood, I can hardly wait toshare. Make this now andsave the recipe to makeduring the holidays. Be-tcha can’t eat just onepiece!

Simple peanutbrittle

Chock full of nuts. Ifyou want more of brittle,use less nuts. AdaptedfromMelanie Barnard’srecipe. AsMelanie toldme “follow directions andit works every time.” Ifall you have in the frig issalted butter, that’s OK.

1/2 stick unsaltedbutter

1/2 cup sugar2 tablespoons corn

syrup - I’ve used bothlight and dark and pre-fer dark

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups saltedmixednuts or peanuts

Line cookie sheet withfoil and spray it. Stirbutter, sugar and cornsyrup in pan over medi-um heat until sugar meltsandmixture bubbles andbecomes smooth. Coverand cook for a minute.Stir in vanilla and nutsand cook, stirring con-stantly, until nuts arefragrant and goldenbrown, about 5 minutes.Don’t overcook. Pour ontofoil, spreading thin. Cooland break apart. Store,tightly covered, at roomtemperature up to aweek.

Baked potatoeswith cheese saucelike Wendy’s

For the reader whowants to avoid buyingthese throughWendy’sdrive thru. Homemade isalways better! Here’s acheese sauce that’s soversatile. It’s good onbroccoli and other veg-gies, too. Sometimes I’llwhisk in a squirt of Dijonor drymustard with themilk mixture. Sharp ormild cheddar work equal-ly well.

And here’s a question Iget asked a lot: can youuse any kind of potatoesfor baking?Well, yes, butthe true baking potatoes,like Idaho, havemorestarch in them and bakeup drier and fluffy. Andthey’re really the best, Ithink, for mashed pota-toes. Others, like red, willbake upmore “waxy” andfirm. My take on it? Thebakers are best, but if allyou have are red or otherkinds, go for it.

4 nice sized bakedpotatoes

2 Tablespoons butter2 Tablespoons flourSalt & pepper1 cupmilk1-1/2 cups shredded

cheddarMelt butter in pan over

medium heat. Add flourand whisk for oneminute.Slowly whisk in milk andwhisk until thickened,about 5 minutes. Removefrom heat and stir incheese until smooth. Addsalt and pepper to taste.

Make a lengthwisesplit in potatoes. Smooshup at both ends to openand fluff up. Pour cheesesauce over.

Tip from Rita’skitchen: Broccoliand cheese stuffedpotatoes

Steam some broccoliflorets and add beforepouring on cheese.

Readers want toknow: are beetsgood for you?

You bet they are. Boostyour brainpower withbeets. As we age, poorblood flow contributes tocognitive decline. Re-search shows that beetscan help increase bloodflow to the brain, whichhelps improvementalalertness and perfor-mance andmay helpprevent Alzheimer’s.

Eat them roasted withred onions, olive oil, rose-mary and thyme, thendrizzled with Balsamicvinegar for a true feast.

When buying a newcar is it a good idea toimmediately buy an ex-tended service warranty?Many people do that, butif you do, you have to bevery careful about justwhat you are buying.

When John Scudder, ofHillsboro, bought a newcar a few years ago hesaid he didn’t think twicewhen asked about buyingan extended service war-ranty. “She asked, ‘Doyou want a 60,000-milewarranty?’ I said, ‘OK,sure,’” Scudder said.

It was only later thathe asked about the par-ticular warranty hebought and found it wasfrom an independentcompany, not from thevehicle manufacturer.Scudder said he ran intoproblems when he tookhis car into another deal-er and showed his war-ranty.

“He said, “We don’taccept it.’ I went to mymechanic and he doesn’taccept it. Then he went toanother mechanic – butno one accepted it,” Scud-der said.

The dealer who soldhim the policy said therewas no problem, that heshould bring the car backto them.

“He said, ‘If youbrought the car backhere we would have ac-cepted it.’ But, what ifI’m in Florida? Mydaughter is a doctordown there. I would haveto tow it back 2,000 milesand it just doesn’t make

sense,”Scuddersaid.

Scudderpaid $2,200for thewarrantyand said henow realiz-es heshouldhave

bought the manufactur-er’s extended servicewarranty instead.

“If it was a Hondawarranty they wouldcover it. I didn’t need touse it because myHondaran great. But they saidbecause it’s not a Hondawarranty they won’t eventalk with you.” Scuddersaid.

Consumer Reports hasfound most readers spentmore on their warrantythan they saved in re-pairs. But if you stillwant to buy a warrantyyou don’t have to do soimmediately. You canwait until just before theoriginal warranty ex-pires to buy the extendedwarranty.

If you wait you’ll knowwhether you really wantto keep the car. But beadvised, you will prob-ably have to pay more forthe extended warranty atthat point.

Issue 4 preserves our reputation asa community with great schools.

This IS the right plan.”—Josh Gerth,

Good schools provide stability for the community and that’sgood for the property values of everyone who lives nearby.According to realtor.com, homebuyers would pay above theirbudget for the right school. This statistic alone explainswhy all of us should support the bond issue.”
