COLLECTION TIME

A new grandstandwill giveWintonWoods fans somethingto cheer about.

The current grandstand,whichprecedes1971, is inneedof substantial repairs, andwillbe replaced with a new one, ata cost lower than renovation.

“We’ve come to realize thatin terms of modern safetystandards, current buildingcodes and increased handicapaccessibility, it has becomenecessary to take a hard lookat the condition of our grand-stand and how it serves ourcommunities,” said SteveDenny, executive director ofaccountability and businessaffairs for Winton Woods CitySchools. “Building A newgrandstand was the most pru-dent and proactive decision inlight of the fiscal needsassoci-ated with renovation.”

Winton Woods TreasurerRandy Seymour said the dis-trict had alreadybudgeted the$205,000 needed for the pro-

ject, according to a school dis-trict news release.

“Cost analysis revealedthat itwouldbeapproximately$100,000 cheaper to replacethe grandstand than to repairand renovate what we cur-rently have to meet properstandards,” he said. “It’s sim-ply less expensive to buildnew.”

Among a list ofmore than adozen items that would haveneeded to be replaced werethe wood floor planking andsuperstructure of the grand-stand.

The floor would have beenreplaced with aluminumplanks, and the superstruc-ture would have had to bestripped and repainted. Thatwould include a lead-basedpaint abatement.

At least one handicap rampwould have been added, tomeet requirements of theAmericans with DisabilitiesAct.

Last summer the Sisters ofMercy established the MercyEducation Collaborative of Cin-cinnati, a partnership betweenits twosponsoredhighschools inthe city – McAuley High Schoolin College Hill and Mother ofMercy High School in West-wood.

The idea behind forming theMercy Education Collaborativeof Cincinnati is tomaximize stu-dent learning opportunities andhelp move both schools aheadmore aggressively, effectivelyand expeditiously.

“The Sisters of Mercy are inthe unique position of havingtwo high schools in Cincinnati,each with a strong college pre-paratory program, extensive fa-cilities and loyal alumnae andsupporters,” said Sister DorisGottemoeller, president of theMECC.

“The goal of MECC is to cre-ate synergy between the twoschools in a way that strength-ens each.”

She said there is one board ofdirectors for the MECC andeach school has become an LLCunder that board. There are alsofour MECC administrators – apresident and three vice presi-dents, she said.

While the schoolswill share aboard of directors and MECCadministrative team, Gotte-moeller said each school will re-main separate in terms of stu-dent experience and institution-

al identity. Each school will re-tain its own principal, its ownprogram and its own campus.

In implementing the MECCplan, it was recently announcedboth schools will have new prin-cipals beginning with nextschool year.

McAuley Principal CherylSucher is retiringafter 27years,and will be replaced by DanielMinelli, whohas served as assis-tant principal for freshmen andsophomores at St. Xavier HighSchool since 2002.

“I look forward to serving asthe principal of McAuley HighSchool as the culmination of mycareer, the Catholic educationleadership opportunity forwhich my experiences thus farhavepreparedme,”Minelli said.

Karen White, who has beenprincipal of St. Lawrence Ele-mentary School in Lawrence-burg since 2009 and previouslyworked as a music teacher anddirector of discipline at SetonHigh School, will be the princi-

pal at Mother of Mercy.“I am excited and honored to

become the next principal ofMother of Mercy High School,”White said. “It ismy privilege tohave this opportunity to inspire,to educate and to help pave thepath for Mercy to offer an in-creasingly excellent Catholiceducation to young women.”

She will replace Mercy Prin-cipal DaveMueller, who will be-come the vice president of aca-demics for theMECC.

Gottemoeller said any or-ganizational change can be dis-orienting to folks who remem-ber it “like it alwayswas,” and itcan be a challenge to get infor-mation out to parents and facul-ty in a timely manner.

“Our goal, though, isn’t pri-marily to create a new organiza-tional structure,” she said. “Thereal goal is to deliver the finestCatholic educationwe can to theyoung women who come to us,preparing themfor life in the21st

century.At the same time,we’remindful of the financial sacri-fices parentsmake to send theirdaughters toprivate schools andwewant tobeas efficient aspos-sible in the use of our re-sources.”

Johnson said she hasenjoyed her time inMount Healthy, but afterher years running schoolbuildings, she is ready totry something new in theeducation field.

MountHealthy Junior/Senior High School is onthe hunt for a new princi-pal. Again.

Sharon Johnson, whotook the job at the begin-ning of the school year,has announced she willnot seek the position andplans to leave at the endof the her contract July31.

Thisyear’s hardwinterhas meant extra snowdays for studentsthroughoutWintonWoodsCitySchoolsandhas led tothe board of education’sapproval of a resolutionadopting a calamity daymake-up plan.

The new resolutionmodifies an earlier reso-lution from Aug. 26 thatapproved June 2, 3, and 4as make-up days. It alsorequired teachers to cre-ate blizzard bags for stu-dents byMarch 14.

“As a result of the reso-lution, teachers are beinginstructed to deploy the

blizzard bags retroactive-ly for the two excess daysstudents have alreadymissed,” said CourtneyWilson, executive direc-tor of human resourcesand legal affairs for Win-ton Woods City Schools.“This will happen no laterthanMarch 21 and will al-low students the entirespring break, as well astwo full school weeks, tocomplete the work beforestate testing.”

In an effort to maxi-mize instruction prior totesting, building princi-pals in third- througheighth-grades will in-

struct their teachers togear thebags towardOhioAchievement Assess-ments prep. All teachersare required to providework comparable to thenumber of hours theteacher would have hadthestudent inclass.All as-signments will be gradedand are not optional forstudents. In addition:

» Assignments will beposted on the website bygrade level for parentsand students, with hardcopies provided as well.

» Each building willhave a plan to assist stu-dents who are unable to

complete the work athome.WintonWoodsHighSchool will have libraryhours after school; Win-ton Woods Middle Schoolwill have after-schoolhelp sessions with trans-portation; the elementaryschools will use recess toassist students.

The Ohio legislature iscontemplating grantingschool districts anywherefrom two to four addition-al calamity days. Thesemayonlybeusedafter theboard’s calamitymake-upplan using blizzard bagsto make up three days isimplemented.

“Iwishwedidn’thave

to do this,” school boardmember John Penny-cuff said in the news re-lease. “It’s $200,000 I’dprefer to put in comput-ers or teacher salariesor things that are moredirectly connected toeducation.

“However this is asafety issue that we can-not ignore.”

“Our stadium is astate-of-the art facilitythat people want to rentfor AAU track meetsand collegiate-level soc-cer games,” Denny said.“This is the final piece tocompleting the stadiumconstruction that beganin 2006.”

The grandstand is ex-pected to be completedby the end of May.

“Together the schoolsare going to become evenbetter at guiding studentsto identify their individ-ual God-given talents andto achieve their greatestpotential,” Mueller said.

“We’re going to imple-

The Archdiocese ofCincinnatihas lent its sup-port to the MECC and itsobjectives.

Jim Rigg, superinten-dent of Catholic schoolsfor the Archdiocese said,“The MECC represents asignificant strategy to en-sure vibrant, high-qualityCatholic education in theArchdiocese. We see theMECC as helping us toachieve our core mission:to provide a superiorCatholic education that isavailable, accessible andaffordable to any familywho wished to come.”

Roll up your sleeves.The fledgling Mount

Healthy Civic Associa-tion is planning a workday in Heritage Park.

Susan Frank, whostarted the associationwith Debbie Conradi,says her group plans tomeet atHeritage Park, onHamilton Avenue at Ron-

ald Reagan Cross CountyHighway.

Frank says wear youroldest work clothes anddirtiest shoesandmeetupat Heritage Park at 1:30p.m. on Saturday, March29.

Instead ofmeeting thismonth, association orga-nizers thought a cleanupof Heritage Park wouldbe a good idea.

“We are aware that the

official cleanup is set forMay but the park is in se-rious need of attentionnow,” Frank said. “It willbe much easier to get thebulk of the trash pickedup before everythingstarts greening up. It isone of the main entriesinto our city let’s make itsomething to be proudof.”

She says volunteersshould meet at the foun-tain at 1:30 to sign in andpick up gloves and trashbags. She anticipates thecleanup should only takea couple of hours.

If the weather is rainy,the group plans a raindate of Saturday, March30. That event will alsobegin at 1:30 p.m.

COLUMBUS -—A tremendousseason came to an unfortunateend for the Roger Bacon HighSchoolboys’ basketball teamaf-ter a 63-44 loss to Lima CentralCatholic High School (25-4)March 21 in a Division III statesemifinal game at Value CityArena on the campus of OhioState University.

The Spartans (22-5) cameinto the game averaging 72.4points per game, according tothe Greater Catholic LeagueCoed website, and the 44 pointsmarks their lowest point totalsince a loss to Moeller HighSchool in 2013 where theyscored 34.

Bacon, who never led in thegame, failed to have a playerscore in double figures for thetime all season.

“From our standpoint I justfelt like the perfect storm;whatever could gowrongdid gowrong,” Roger Bacon coachBrian Neal said. “Early we gotsome good looks but couldn’tput theminandreally struggledto keep their quickness in frontof us early in that first half.”

“Certainly this is a disap-pointing way for a great groupof guys to finish their seasonand their careers - for the sen-iors - because we obviously didnot play our best basketballgame today.”

The stat sheet was ugly forthe Spartans.

They shot just 30.8 percentfrom the field, including 21per-cent from 3-point range, were

out-rebounded by 12 and com-mitted 18 turnovers leading to18 points for the Thunderbirds.

“Every time we felt like wemight get some momentumsomething would happen thatthey stole it right back,” Nealsaid. “Forusnot tohaveoneguyin double figures kind of justtells the story of our strugglestoday. Unfortunately, teams aregoing to struggle, we justpicked the wrong day to do it.”

The Spartans – ranked No. 5in the finalAPstatepoll - trailed7-0 out of the gate but managedto keep the contest closethroughout the first half, climb-ing to within one at the 6:12mark of the second quarter be-fore the Thunderbirds went onan 8-0 run to pull away. Baconnever got closer than six afterthat.

“We just couldn’t breakthrough,” Neal said, who wasmaking his first trip to the statetournament as a head coach.“We’d make a good play and(then) a guy would miss an as-signment; something we cov-ered in practice, then suddenlythey get loose.”

Things spiraled out of con-trol in the third quarter. LCC -No. 7 in the final AP state poll -switched to a 1-3-1 zone and theSpartans managed just fourpoints in the quarter and foundthemselves trailing by 46-29heading to the fourth.

“It’s just rough when youknowyoucandobetter thanyouperformed,” senior CarlasJackson said, who finishedwitheight points and six rebounds in27minutes. “Yougiveallyougot

and sometimes you just comeup short. It hurts knowing whatcould have been; what couldhave happened, but it didn’t.That’s what hurts the most.”

The loss brings an end to thecareers of six seniors, many ofwhomhaveplayedavitalpart inRoger Bacon making four con-secutive regional tournamentappearances, winning four dis-

trict titles and earning theschool’s first trip to the statetournament since winning it allin 2002.

“It was a wonderful experi-ence with these guys,” seniorFred Moore said. “I wouldn’ttrade the season for anything,butI’drather(for)ustowin itallbut it didn’t (happen). Goddidn’t plan it that way.”

Sam Wolferest is back atshortstop after hitting .315 with11 RBI and 15 stolen bases lastseason en route to honorablemention all-conference honors.

Junior catcher Sam Brum-mett and fellow junior, outfield-er/third baseman Luke Steimle,will provide additional leader-ship as both are returning start-ers for the Wildcats.

“Hitting wise we lost a lot ofour pop, but with the core that Igot coming back, and if thefreshmen step up and play theirgame, I could see us being bet-terat theendof theyearthanwewill be at the beginning,” the el-der Leigh said.

Finneytown begins its sea-son March 29 at home againstLockland High School.

La SalleThe Lancers and coach Joe

Voegele are coming off a 17-13season and a second-place fin-ish in the Greater CatholicLeague.

Voegele will be without 2013GCL Player of the Year BradBurkhart, who is nowplaying atthe University of Dayton, butreturns outfielder and first-team honoree Nick Boardman,who hit .400 with 19 RBI duringhis junior campaign last season.

Infielder/catcher Nigel Wil-liams earned second-team All-GCL honors a season ago as asophomore after hitting .370with 17 RBI.

Alex Dickey is back for hissenior season and will likelytake the place of Burkhart atopthe Lancer rotation. His 2.37ERAand22 strikeouts in 38.1in-nings was good enough to earnhimconferencehonorablemen-tion honors in 2013.

SeniorJakeMeyerwill likelytakeovertheNo.2spot in thero-tation after going 5-1with a 2.33ERA and 16 strikeouts as a ju-nior, while Cam Bouldin, who’sstartedat shortstop thepast twoseasons, will see an increasedpitching load this season ac-cording to Voegele.

The Lancers open the seasonMarch 29 at home against Con-ner High School (KY).

No other information wasavailablebeforepressdeadline.

North College HillThe future is bright for the

Trojan baseball program.Without a junior varsity pro-

gram since 2008, it took second-year coach Lamont Ford onlyone season to re-establish theJVprogramand provide a feed-er system back to the varsitylevel.

“When I was hired I told theathletic department to give methree season to revitalize theprogram,” Ford said. “Theythought that was a little ambi-tious, but as it turned out it tookone season and I was able to geta JV team loaded and ready forthis season. It speaks volumeshow the community has em-braced me and my coaches.”

Because he didn’t have a JVteam last season Ford’s Trojanswent 4-20 in 2013 with a rostercompiled of mostly juniors andfreshmen.Nowthat they’vetak-en their lumps, they’re ready tomake an impact in the MiamiValley Conference.

“Our focus will be playingsmall ball,” Ford said. “Wewantto hit behind the runner, haveeight, nine, 10 pitch at-bats totry to garner walks and thenlead to stolen bases and try toscore some runs.”

Leading the charge this sea-son will be senior outfielder/pitcher Connor Wilson, who re-

cently signedwithLourdesUni-versity in Sylvania. NearlyMVCplayer of theyear last sea-son, Wilson hit .418 with 16 sto-lenbases,10doublesand16RBI.

“He is one of my thumpers,”thecoachsaid. “Thekidcanflat-out play. I’ve asked him to bemore of a leader this year, bemore vocal andmature and he’saccepted that responsibility.”

Look for junior Alex Bullockto make a bigger impact in 2014after stealing 12 bases and hit-ting .411 last season.

Sophomores Vashawn Phil-lips and Andrew Steele are theyoung core of the group. Phil-lips is already getting looks atthe Division I level with his 80-plusMPH fastball and is a lock-down defender.

“Asa sophomorehe’smaturebeyond his years,” Ford said.“He’s a pure athlete. I think he’s

starting togetanunderstandingof just how special he is in thisgame.

Phillips earned honorablemention All-MVC as a fresh-man.

NCH’s bid for their first win-ning season since 2008 beginsMarch 31 at Mt. Healthy.

Roger BaconSans a senior on the roster,

Spartans coach Tim McCoylikeswhat he’s seen so far out ofhis young group.

“I like the fact that we areyoung,”McCoy said. “We do nothaveasenior in theprogrambutthatdoesn’t seemtobecauseforconcern at this point.”

Junior infielder/outfielderKevinSchnedlwillbe the leaderafter earning All-GCL honorsboth his freshman and sopho-more seasons. Schnedl hit .286last season and was second onthe teamwith 12 RBI.

Fellow junior Chris Hone-brink will see time on themound, behind the plate and atfirst base this season.

“(Honebrink) is very toughon the mound,” McCoy said.“(He has a) bulldog mentality.”

Sophomores Alex Speed andBeau Otto along with freshmanJeordan Kuderer are the nucle-us of these strong, young play-ers who, unlike most baseballplayers at Roger Bacon, havemade baseball their first sportandNo. 1priority in the athleticworld.

The Spartans are looking fortheir first winning season since2011, their only winning seasonin the last nine years.

“This group of guys love thegame of baseball and possess abaseball IQhigher than any oth-er team I have coached,” the

coach said. “They also have alove and passion for the gameand work hard every day. …There is no ‘me’ attitude what-soever.”

McCoy gets his seventh sea-son as coach atRogerBaconun-derway March 29 at SummitCountry Day School.

St. XavierBob Sherlock takes over as

theBombers coach after the re-tirement of 35-year veterancoach Bill Slinger. Sherlockbrings 29 years of coaching ex-perience to the table afterspending the previous four sea-sons as coach at Bishop Fen-wick High School.

In what is likely one of thebest stories of the year, seniorcatcher Jordan McDonough isback behind the plate for theBombers aftermissing last sea-son due to a battle with Hodg-kin’sLymphoma.TheOhioStatecommit hit .279with 24RBI andtwo home runs as a sophomoreand caught a pitching staff thatboasted four pitchers withERA’s under 2.35 in 2012.

McDonough will have atough taskathand in2014catch-ing nearly an entire new pitch-ing staff. Seniors Nate Chip-man, Anthony Durso and NickTensing will look to fill the topspots in the rotation to start theseason. Tensing will also seetime at first base.

Look for breakout seasonsfrom junior shortstop/outfield-er EricJuan and sophomoresNoahMehrleandJ.P.Bitzenhof-er.

Another returning starterfor Sherlock is third baseman/catcher Spencer Helwig, whohit .318 and 10 RBI in 44 at-batslast season.

“I like the mix of our ball-club,” Sherlock said. “Wehaveagood group of seniors who willbecountedon toprovidestrong-er leadership for a developinggroup of juniors and rising cropofsophomores.Wehaveseveralplayerswhowill have to fill keyroles for us in order to be suc-cessful. The quicker these play-ersembrace their rolesandfindsuccess in them, the better wewill be.”

Sherlock will make his St. Xcoaching debut March 29 indoubleheader action at Louis-ville St. Xavier.

WintonWoodsBradCiminowillhavea lotof

experience on field for his firstseasonas coachof theWarriors.

Witheightreturningplayers,Cimino couldn’t ask for moreentering a new environment.

“It helps out a lot becausethey know the game, know theirpositions and I don’t have toteach it to them,” thecoachsaid.“It’s really good to have someofthat experience on the team tohelp us out with support andleadership, which they do pos-sess.”

Senior catcher CameronDay-Suggs will control a pitch-ing staff led by seniors TerrellAllen and Daniel Robinson.Suggs can get it done offensive-ly as well. He hit .515 with eightRBI in 33 at-bats. Allenwill alsosplit time at first base with sen-ior Erik Hamilton.

Cimino has the middle of theinfield locked down with seniorshortstop A.J. Brandy and sen-ior second baseman Kyle Jack-son. To Brandy’s right is seniorOliver Contreras at third base.

Look for sophomore C.J.Stumps tomake an impact afterhaving some success as a fresh-man, but the one to keep youreye on is freshman JackSchramm.

“He’s phenomenal baseballplayer,” Cimino said ofSchramm. “He’s going to be autility guy I can use just aboutanywhere.”

The Warriors begin the 2014campaign March 29 with a dou-bleheader against Princetonand then at Western Hills aspart of the Cincinnati Reds Fu-tures Showcase.

Whatmakes us happy?Just like other folks, we of

the American Council of theBlind of Ohio, Greater Cincin-nati Chapter, have lots of hob-bies and pursuits beyond ourjobs and careers.

I interviewed DanaMetcalfof Mount Healthy Thursday,March 13, because he recentlypeaked my curiosity in hisextra curricular activities. Forone matter, he traveled to Nai-robi, Kenya, last October withhis church as part of the workof Missions of Hope Interna-tional. I asked him how hisparticipation in that missioncame about. Dana replied, “I

was talking tothe missionminister oneday and I ex-pressed aninterest in theplanned trip toKenya. BeforeI knew it, I wassigned up andon my way.”

I supposethe mission minister at Dana’schurch saw beyond a blindperson with a mild case ofcerebral palsy when shegrabbed him up for the missiontrip.

That interview with Danabrings to mind a very curiousquestion: “Why do many if notmost people seem to see ourblindness first and last and inbetween and totally miss ourpersonalities, intelligence,willingness to serve, and allthose wonderful realities of usthat make us just like them?”

As Dana was growing up, heand his father both took theexam for their amateur radiolicense and had fun togethersharing that activity. Danaconfessed another long-termambition to me, namely hisdesire to become proficient in

playing the harmonica. Hetreated us to his playing of“Silent Night” at our Christmasdinner in December at TheFarm, something he now “doesfor fun.”

As a man in his 40s, Danaenjoys tandem biking, snowshoeing, and sculpting. Dana’sfather was a carpenter, andDana also enjoys creatingobject of beauty with his hands(for fun and a little profit).

In conclusion, I asked Danawhat he would like to tell read-ers of the Community Press.He laughed and said, “Do notscream at us; we are not usu-

ally hard of hearing. Ask uswhat kind of help we want, ifany; do not figure you knowwithout a reality check.” If anyof you readers would like totell us blind folks a thing ortwo, please respond by sendingyour comments [email protected].

Also, I forgot to say thatDana just loves to play with histalking iPhone, which he hasowned for a year. Howmany ofyou have such toys that “Youjust love!”?

Hamilton County AuditorDusty Rhodes’ thought-pro-voking Feb 16 CincinnatiEnquirer column “HamiltonCounty is on the Road toRuin” highlights valid fiscalconcerns that warrant fur-

ther com-ment.

Dustychroniclesthe unabatedgrowth ofpropertytaxes as thevehicle forsubsidizingan array ofpublic ser-vices and

investment along with theburden placed on residentsand ratepayers frommandat-ed projects such as capitalimprovements to the Munici-pal Sewer District as well asrestoration of iconic build-ings like Union Terminal andreplacement of the BrentSpence Bridge

I don’t agree with Dusty’sdire assessment that ourfuture mirrors Detroit, how-ever, I do agree that risingMetropolitan Sewer District(MSD) rates present growingfinancial challenges to Ham-ilton County property ownerswhile also threatening busi-nesses and the jobs theyprovide for our communities.This is a monumental issuethat deserves more discus-sion in our community.

My fellow Commissionersand I have made strongerHamilton County oversightof MSD operations andspending a top priority sincebeginning my term as a coun-ty commissioner in 2010. Ascommission president, Ipushed for the hiring of acounty utility supervisor tomonitor the impact of MSD’sday-to-day operations andspending on costs and rates.

The county oversight teamis heavily involved in over-seeing all phases of workassociated with HamiltonCounty and the city of Cin-cinnati’s Consent Decreewith the U.S. and Ohio Envi-ronmental Protection Agen-

cies. This decree mandates amassive upgrade of the coun-ty’s sewer system.

The oversight team’s in-volvement was instrumentalin cutting MSD’s proposed$230 million operating bud-get to $210 million, along withreducing a $290 million pro-posed capital budget to $211million for 2014. This thor-ough vetting saved $98 mil-lion for MSD ratepayers.

Auditor Rhodes pointedout that MSD rates haverisen at a rate of nearly 11percent per year since 2000.MSD ratepayers shouldknow, however, that the aver-age yearly MSD rate in-crease for the past threeyears has dropped to about6.5 percent – not great, butmuch lower since the countybegan aggressively monitor-ing MSD spending.

We are starting to makeprogress toward the goal ofreducing MSD spendingwhile still meeting the man-dates of the Consent Decree.I have worked diligently tohave Cincinnati City Councilrepeal its responsible bidder,local hire and local prefer-ence ordinances.

Construction industryexperts believe that over thelong term, these ordinancescould add 15 percent to thecost of completing the con-struction associated with theConsent Decree. On a pro-jected $3 billion cost to finishHamilton County’s sewersystem, 15 percent repre-sents an unnecessary $450million bill for ratepayers.

That is why I am willing totake this dispute to court todetermine whether HamiltonCounty or the City of Cincin-nati sets the procurementpolicies for MSD.

The system’s ratepayersneed to know that the Hamil-ton County Commission isready to protect their hard-earned paychecks and pro-vide a competitive environ-ment to retain and attractbusiness in the coming years.

Chris Monzel is president of theHamilton County Commission.

Rising sewerrates presentfinancialchallenges

Chris MonzelCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

America is facing a dan-gerous prospect: a smallerportion of the population isworking than at any timesince Jimmy Carter waspresident.

The labor force participa-tion rate, a number used byeconomists to measure whatpercentage of Americans areworking or seeking work,now sits at 63 percent.

This rate is projected tofall even further over thenext 10 years.

The non-partisan Congres-sional Budget Office an-nounced last month that theAffordable Care Act, or Oba-macare, will cost the equiv-alent of 2.5 million full-timejobs. The reason for thisdrop, as explained by theCBO Director, is that Obama-care “creates a disincentivefor people to work.”

This is precisely the oppo-site of what the governmentshould be doing. Yet, withObamacare, the governmenthas introduced a programthat makes it easier and moreattractive for 2.5 million peo-ple not to work. That’s nothealthy for our economy orour country.

Upon theannounce-ment, defend-ers of thehealth carelaw declaredthat it is suc-cessfully “lib-erating” peo-ple from theirjobs. Theargumentgoes that peo-

ple are no longer dependenton their job. Left out is thesecond line of that reasoning:we will now have 2.5 millionmore Americans directlydependent on the govern-ment.

The out-of-work Ohioans Italk to have never describedtheir situation as “liberat-ing.”

Ronald Reagan guided ournation with the fundamentalprinciple that the best socialprogram is a job. I agree.

Creative activity in theform of work allows men andwomen to respond to theirhuman instinct of providingfor themselves and theirfamilies. Deep within ourhuman nature is the desire towork and to be thankful forthe “fruits” that follow.

In the State of the Union,just weeks ago, PresidentObama talked about workinghard and taking responsibil-ity, so you can get ahead in

America. Now, the admini-stration says to pursue yourdreams, work less – less thanfull-time! Is that the newAmerican Dream?

Approving the KeystoneXL pipeline would create20,000 shovel-ready jobs to-morrow, but President Oba-ma blocks this environmen-tally safe project. Our smallbusinesses want to expandand hire, but Obamacareregulations are pushing em-ployers to cut jobs and cuthours. In the House of Repre-sentatives, we’re working toget America working, andyou can read how atwww.Wenstrup.house.gov/jobs.

The government shouldnot be in the business of low-ering expectations. With lessgovernment intrusion, ournation was built by the driveand courage of pioneers andentrepreneurs. Our nationhas excelled in the worldbecause of common, every-day people that knew successand the American Dreamcomes from the fruits of theirlabor, not a monthly checkfrom the government.

Work has value. I can’talways say the same for thefederal government.

It’s focused oncreating a welcoming environment foranyone who wants to attend and invitetheir friends to, regardless ofwhat theybelieve. Features include free coffee,freeWi-Fi, alongwith comfortable seat-ing and a space just for kids.

“Crossroads coming to the west sidemeans our friends and neighbors aremore likely to take us up on an invita-tion to come to a place that’s changedour lives,” CrossroadsWest Side PastorGregMcElfresh, ofCleves, said. “We’reexcited to have a Crossroads locationthat’s more convenient for all of us tohear about Jesus in a language we canunderstand.”

No recipes today! I’mveering off course andgetting on my soapboxabout cookware. We’regoing into the busy brid-al season and I get morequestions about cook-

ware andcutlerythan you’dbelieve.Here’s aprimer ofsorts oncookware –in a futurecolumnwe’ll chatabout cut-lery. Cut

this column out and armyourself with it whenyou shop for cookware.

Buying cookware canbe confusing to say theleast. Should you go byprice? By looks? By pop-ularity? Buy individualpieces or sets? Do somesoul searching, thinkabout the way you cook,your lifestyle, and pickcookware that will serveyou best. Cook’s Illus-trated has some timelyinformation on their siteabout cookware choices.For the most part, youget what you pay for,especially when it comesto stainless steel and castiron. The cookware thatwill last a lifetime isn’tgoing to be inexpensive,but you know what? Inthe long run, you’ll savetime, money, the envi-ronment and, maybemost important, yoursanity!

Material: It can bestainless steel, alumi-num, anodized alumi-num, copper with atinned or stainless insidesurface, cast iron, cast

iron with enameled in-side, ceramic, temperedglass and nonstick, toname just a few.

Clad stainless steel.On its own, stainless is apoor conductor of heat.Buy a stainless pan withcopper or aluminum in it.The best cookware is“clad” which means ithas aluminum or coppercore that is sandwiched,or clad, between stain-less steel. It’s also calledtriple or five-ply. Thereare two kinds of clad:Fully clad like what Ijust described where thesandwiched core extends

from the bottom of thepan all the way up thesides (creating layers) orbottom clad which have adisk of aluminum orcopper on the bottomonly. Both perform well,but the fully clad is mychoice and the highestquality. All Clad pans,made in Pennsylvania,are tops in my book. Youcan use metal utensils.

Aluminum. Look foranodized aluminum,which means the pan hasbeen put through a proc-ess that changes thealuminum structure tobe non-reactive to foods,

just like stainless, andyou can use metal uten-sils. You get greatbrowning with this cook-ware.

Copper. Best conduc-tor of heat but often themost expensive andneeds maintaining tolook good. Awesomebrowning. You can usemetal utensils.

Cast iron. I call thisthe original nonstick.Heats up slowly andretains heat. When weleft home, Mom gave usone of her heirloom castiron skillets. I won’t frymy kibbi patties in any-

thing else. Made in theUSA, these are trea-sures. If you find one at agarage sale that’s madein the USA, snatch it up!Lodge, Wagner and Gris-wold are familiar names.The downside is cast ironis heavy and needs to beseasoned, and dried rightaway after cleaning. Theperk is you get a boost ofiron when you cook withit. There are now castiron pieces that are pre-seasoned. Metal utensilsare OK.

Enameled cast iron.My time-honored LeCreuset, which doubles

as a Dutch oven, has anenameled cooking sur-face, which gives thebenefit of cast iron with-out the angst. Greatbrowning qualities. Bestto use silicone or woodenutensils.

Nonstick. There is alot of debate about thisbeing a safe cookingsurface. My researchindicates that Teflon-coated pans are consid-ered safe as long asthey’re not overheated orpeeling/flaking. “Greenpans,” nonstick panswith a ceramic-type safecoating, are popular now.Nonsticks do not brownas well, for the mostpart, as regular pans, butthey’re wonderful foreggs, waffles, cheesesandwiches, low-fatcooking, etc. You need nooil except for flavor/browning and clean up isa breeze. Unless other-wise stated, use siliconeor wooden utensils.
