Rusty’s Ristorante, theold-fashioned restauranton Blue Ash Road in DeerPark, has called it quitsafter 30 years. The lastnight to have their home-made lasagna, liver andonions or fried chickenwas Oct. 11.

Owner Marlene Smithsays she’s headed for hercouch. She has owned theItalian/American restau-rant for the last 17 years,after working there sinceit opened and then buyingit from its original owner,Rusty Harris.

“We just never cameback after the recession,”she said. “We really needregulars who come in ev-ery week, and we weren’tgetting that.”

Rusty’s did seem like arestaurant caught in atime period several dec-ades ago, with its primerib and baked potatoes,dimly lit interior and old-fashioned bar. It wasn’ton a main drag and itsregular customers wereaging and not being re-placed.

“Everybody who camein raved about the food,”said Smith. “But theydidn’t come in enough.”

Smith’s note on thedoor told customers shewould see them at Krog-er.

“After all these years,I realize I’mgoing to haveto start going to the gro-cery store, start cookingand doing the dishes,” shesaid.

The Indian Hill HighSchool counseling de-partment is reaching outto to students in need.

This year several newinitiatives have been in-troduced to assist stu-dents who may need anextra bit of help in theiracademic development.These programs go be-yond textbooks in pro-viding assistance withpersonaldevelopmentaswell.

Representativesfrom the counseling de-partment shared detailsabout these new effortsduring the Oct. 14 schoolboard meeting.

Through a new men-tor/mentee initiativeteachers are assigned aspecific student whothey meet with through-out the school year toprovide academic assis-tance, said Kyle Crow-ley, director of theschool counseling de-partment.

Crowley said theteachers are also thereto provide a listening earif the students needguidance in their per-sonal endeavors as well.

In addition to thementor initiative, a guid-ed study hall has beendeveloped as well.

This goes beyond thetraditional study hall byoffering a more individ-ualized approach.

A teacher works withabout four students dur-ing the study hall ses-sion, according to Crow-

ley.This is yet another

way tohelp students suc-ceed by addressing aca-demics, personal inter-ests and topics of inter-est such as technology,according to Crowley.

“The guided studyhallshavebeenverysuc-cessful, and we’re defi-nitely seeing improve-ment in students (in-volved with this),” saidLindsay Kearns, a coun-selor at Indian Hill HighSchool.

Students involved inthe guided study halls“like the extra help,”said Crowley, and sincethe study halls are limit-ed to four students, thoseinvolved receive morepersonalized attention.

It’s another adult thestudents can go to forhelp, Kearns said.

During the boardmeeting, Crowley saidthe “counselor coffees”will also continue.

Begun last year, thesegatherings are open tothe community and cov-er awide range of topics.Past discussions have fo-cused on SAT scores, so-cial media and “howteenagers think.”

The counselor cof-fees are typically pre-sented once each quar-ter on Thursday morn-ing in the high schoolmultipurposeroom,6865DrakeRoad.Theygener-ally start about 9 a.m.

Crowley said thecounselor coffees aregenerally well attended.

“The goal (of these)was to continue to buildrelationships with theIndian Hill parents andcommunity,” he said.

The next counselorcoffee will be Dec. 11.

SYCAMORE TWP. — After aseason of playing on a state-of-the-art synthetic surface atSycamoreHigh School, the La-dy Aves soccer team saw theirseason end on wet grass andmud in Amelia Oct. 14.

Coach Brian Fallon’s girlshad practiced on grass in prep-aration, but couldn’t claw backfrom the 3-0 halftime lead theLady Barons established ontheir home field.

Fallon didn’t use the condi-tions as an excuse and estimat-ed Sycamore had played eightgames on the natural stuff pri-or to making the bus trip toAmelia for the Division I sec-tional game. When he selectedthe spot in the draw, he knewAmelia had a tremendous rec-ordandbiggoal scorer in soph-omore Ally Brown.

“They had a lot of confi-dence coming in,” Fallon said.

The lossgaveSycamoreafi-nal recordof4-9-4 (3-4-2Great-er Miami Conference). Likemany in the GMC, the LadyAves schedule was loaded.

“Wereallydidn’t havemanygames off,” Fallon said. “Weplayed East Central who wasseventh in the state of Indiana;we playedMcAuley, Seton andLoveland.”

Sycamore lost by a 1-0 tallyagainst Loveland, his formeremployer. A year ago, he was aboys assistant under MikeDunlap for the Tigers.

When a teaching job cameopen at Sycamore along withthe girls coaching vacancy,Fallon pointed his vehicle an-other exit up on 275.

“We got after it about thesecond week of June,” Fallonsaid. “I have a freshmandaughter who played at Love-

land this year, so I know thementality of how to motivategirls as opposed to boys.”

He now hopes to motivatemore girls to participate in be-tween social studies classes.Sycamore offers more sportsthanmanyschools, but thegoalis to find those who can scoregoals with their feet.

“Our numbers were really,really low,” Fallon said. “Weonly had 40 players try out forvarsity and JV,which is almostunheardof at a school that size.We have a really good class offreshmen coming up. My No. 1priority is to get the numbersback up.”

Playing their final game forSycamoreOct. 14wereBrennaFinlay, Melody Freeland, JennAdamec, Ashley Thiss, KatieOh, Allie Oh and Donesha Gor-don. Next year’s squad willlikely be anchored by currentjuniors Farrah Brown, a de-fender, and Grace Louis, theteam’s second-leading scorer.

Thiss led the team in scor-ing this fall and is off to play atCleveland State. More mayplay beyond high school, butnot in official capacities.

“Thepopular thingnow is togo to school andplayclubball,”Fallon said. “You get the com-petition, but it’s not sodemand-ing to where all you’re doing isstudying and training.”

Sycamore senior forward AshleyThiss was the top scorer for theLady Aves this season.

TheMountSt. JosephUniver-sity football team is off to itsbest start since 2009. The Lionsstarted the season 5-1, winningtheir first four Heartland Colle-giate Athletic Conference con-tests. Heading into a conferenceshowdown with Franklin Col-legeOct. 18, the Lions are appre-ciating their opportunity to con-trol their own destiny. Mount St.Joseph last won the HCAC titlein 2009.

“I’ve been doing this for 35years and take nothing forgranted,” said head coach RodHuber. “We’re trying topoint outto the team how special this is.You don’t knowwhen you’ll be atthe midway point with a chanceto win a championship.”

Through the first six gamesof the season, the Lions havebeen the most dominant HCACteam, averaging 42.3 points pergame and defeating conferenceopponents by an average of 23points per game. The Grizzliescome to Delhi on Oct. 18 as four-time defending HCAC champi-ons. The Lions have a chance tonotch thebigwin that has eludedthem for the past few years.Even when they finished with a6-2 conference record last year,an early-season loss to Franklindampened the season beforemid-October.

“The last two years, we’vebeen out of it at this point,” saidHuber. “It’s still early, but we’reexcited to be in the hunt.”

For a team that relies heavilyon freshmen at key positions,the Lions were not expected tobe this good, this soon. Fresh-

man quarterback Greg Simpson(Sycamore) has been a revela-tion. He has passed for 13 touch-downs with just two intercep-tions, protecting the football likean experienced passer. Sopho-more Mike Williams (Taft) hasrushed for three touchdownsand thrown for two more as achange of pace for Simpson. Hehas also helped Simpson adjustto the speed of the college game.Sophomore Denzel Norvell hascarried the load as the primaryrunning back after splittingtime in the backfield last year.

“It’s a young group, andcoaches Greg Huster and AdamCokonougher have done a tre-mendous job of recruiting thepast couple of years,” said Hub-er. “We are a little ahead ofschedule. We are absolutelypleasantly surprised.”

When entrusting the offenseto a freshman quarterback,Huber knew he was taking achance. He was encouraged bythe wisdom of John Calipari,who won a national champion-ship at the University of Ken-tucky starting five teenagers.

“We don’t use youth as an ex-cuse,” said Huber. “Freshmandon’t know what they don’tknow.”

What the freshman do knowis that this year’s senior classhas gone winless against Frank-lin in three tries, and failed towin a conference championship.The new blood is intent onchanging that this season. Thiswill be the biggest game at theMount; every player on the cur-rentroster,but theiryoungquar-terback is approaching it as the

KENWOOD — They ar-rive in Columbus in thefall just as the buzzardsreturn each spring toHinckley, Ohio.

Well, almost.By finishing second to

St.Xavierat theDivisionIdistrict tournament atWeatherwax Oct. 9, coachRick Bohne’s MoellerHigh School golfers qual-ified for the state tourna-ment for the 12th time in13 years.

There was no secondplace this time.

After 28 years ofcoaching, Bohne was ableto ride home in the vanwith a championship tro-phy as the Crusaders fin-ished a gray day on OhioState’s Scarlet Coursewith a sunny smile. Over

the weekend of Oct. 17-18,Moeller was nine strokesbetter than Columbus St.Charles and Upper Ar-lington.

Ayear ago, theCrusad-ers finished fifth overall.Four of Moeller’s starting2013 quintet returned inseniors Ben Sattler, NickGruber and Quinn Sulli-van and junior Jake Fox.

Junior Michael O’Bri-en joined themarch toCo-lumbus this season.

On day one, Oct. 17,Moeller blitzed out earlyandheld an11-stroke lead.Sattler led the way with a76, Gruber carded a 78,Sullivan and O’Brien 79and Jake Fox checked inat 80.

Day two saw the Cru-saders tie for the third-best tally, but finish on topoverall. Sattler shot 78,Fox 79, Sullivan 83, Grub-

er 84 and O’Brien 85 inblustery conditions. Notbad considering the firsthole started par, triple bo-gey, triple bogey, par, dou-ble bogey.

“I guess if you do itlong enough, (you win),”Bohne said of Moeller’sfirst golf title. “It’s theiraccomplishment, notmine at all. It was fun tosee their smiles.”

Now, when he walksinto the gym off Montgo-mery Road he will see“State Champion Golf2014” in the rafters alongwith the 29 other state ti-tles on display.

Last season, Moellercame out tight on day oneof the tournament. On thesecond day, they had thesecond lowest score andBohne said it became aspringboard for 2014.

Going into weekend,

Bohne’s bangers and put-ters had a little “chip” ontheir shoulder anyway.Sure, they qualified forstate, but it was slightlybehind GCL-South rivalSt. Xavier.

“They lost the playoffin the district and theydidn’t feel good,” Bohnesaid. “That’s something Ilike about them.”

He also likes not hav-ing to rely on one player.All of Moeller’s startershave shot memorablerounds.

Those who don’t shootat all were on the coursesupporting the blue andgold. Some teams onlybring five;Moeller bringsa gallery. Several Crusad-er golfers joined thegroup who had adaptedthemantra, “Whynotus?”all season.

The titlematchwas the

grand finale for senior tri-captains Quinn Sullivan,Ben Sattler and NickGruber.

“Quinn (Sullivan) is go-ing to finish in the topthree or four in career av-erage for Moeller golf-ers,” Bohne said. “Ben

(Sattler) just committedto Ohio University to playcollege golf and Nick(Gruber) has been a start-er for us the last threeyears. They’ve been greatcaptains and I’m going tomiss them.”

THANKS TO OHSAA

Moeller won its first state golf championship Oct. 18 on theScarlet Course at Ohio State. It was the 30th statechampionship in Moeller history.

INDIAN HILL — Cincin-nati Country Day Schoolhas named Greg Ross the

new headcoach ofthe boysvarsitybasketballteam.

Rosshas beenthe assis-tant coach

of theboysvarsitybasket-ball team for the last 12years and took over as theinterim head coach in themiddle of last season. Theteam finished 7-3 over thefinal 10 games.

“Naming Greg Rossthe boys varsity basket-ball coachwasanabsolute

pleasure,” said Chris Mil-moe, director of athletics.“He is knowledgeableabout the game of basket-ball, his commitment totheschool isunquestionedand his passion for work-ing with student-athletesis exceptional.”

Ross has worked atCincinnati Country DaySchool for the last 14years, serving as asso-ciate athletic director andcoaching football andbas-ketball.

“This is oneof thehigh-lights of my career,” Rosssaid. “It has always beenone of my goals to be thehead coach of the boysvarsity basketball teamatCincinnati Country Day

School. I believe with myexperience and the tradi-tion of excellence at Cin-cinnati Country DaySchool, we can achievegreat things here.”

Ross has high expecta-tions for the team thisyear andmoving forward.He plans to run an openstyle of basketball. “Theplayers are the focus, notthe system,” he said. “Weneed to be able to adaptour strategies and gameplan around the athleteson the team.”

Defensively, Rossplans to runanaggressiveand swarming style of de-fense that will be the call-ing card of the team.

Ross

next game in his quest towin a league title.

“We’vegot a lot of sen-iors who haven’t beatthem or competed for achampionship,” saidSimpson. “This is what Icame here for.”

Any young quarter-back would benefit fromtwo talented and experi-enced receivers, andthat’s what Simpson hasin seniors John Peters(Lakota West) and Leon-ard Riston (Withrow).The 6’8” Peters is amongthe nation’s leaders witheight touchdown recep-tions.

“Once you try to take

one of themaway, I knowthat the other one’s goingto get open,” said Simp-son.

“We have enoughweapons that we don’thave to rely on just oneguy,” added Huber.

The conference open-er set the tone for theteam’s recent surge. TheLions scored 11 points inthe final 2:11 to erase aneight-point deficit at De-fiance College, winningon junior kicker ShaneKelly’s (Turpin) fieldgoal as time expired.

“That game showedmea lot about this team,”said Huber.

If the Lions can earntheir first win againstFranklin since 2009, theywill be in a position toearn a playoff berth

heading into the finalthree games of the sea-son, two of which are inthe friendly confines ofSchueler Field. The bal-ance of seniors and un-derclassmen has the Li-ons clicking. They areplaying like the Lions ofold that won five out ofsix league titles from2004-2009.

“We really like thechemistry of this team,”said Huber. “There arenot a lot of egos.Theyarereally playing as a unit.”

The Lions host Ander-son on Oct. 25. Theleague championshipcould come down to thefinal game, when Rose-Hulman comes toSchueler Field on Nov. 8.Each contest kicks off at1:30 p.m.

All sporting memoriesare suspect - the colors toobright, the players andtheir featsmagnifiedinourwishful recapturing. Thesurprising rally or splen-did catch becomes incom-parable by the time wefight freeof theparking lot,epochal before bedtime,transcendental by break-fast. - Hall of Fame base-ball writer Roger Angell,from Five Seasons

Once upon a time ...All good fairy tales be-

gin thus. Only this tale isreal, if clouded by 30years. The goal of the Glo-ry Days series is to lookback at significant andmemorable moments inthe Greater Cincinnatiprep sports landscape andsee if memories resemblethefacts. In the taleofJan.13,1984 – anight of basket-ball pitting Moeller HighSchool senior Byron Lar-kin face to face againstsenior Jeff Wolf of St. Xa-vier High School in frontofahoops-madhighschoolfreshman who admiredboth - they do.

Then, as now, MoellerversusSt.Xinanythingupto and including tiddly-winks was a highly-antici-pated event. But whenboth schools have top-10programsinamajorsport,the stakes elevate thatmuchmore.

Theteamstradedvicto-ries each of the previoustwo seasons. The Crusad-erswon62-55whenLarkinand Wolf were sopho-mores, but the Bombersansweredwith a 57-36win

in the return game. Theirjunior year, St. X won 67-57 at home beforeMoellerreplied with a 59-57 homevictory of its own.

By their senior year,Larkin and Wolf werewidelyacclaimedastwoofthe best guards in town.Both left-handed. Both 6-foot-3.Bothgoodshooters,but better at going to thebasket. Both on the vergeof playing Division I col-lege basketball, eventhough hoops may nothavebeen their best sport.

Larkin and Wolf are

two of the most storiedsurnames names in Cin-cinnati sports, high schoolor otherwise.

Not long before the St.X basketball game, ByronLarkin earned Parademagazine football All-America honors for hissenior year on the Crusad-ers’ gridiron and was con-sidering a scholarship of-fer to play defensive backfor Bo Schembechler atMichigan. He insteadchosebasketballandXavi-er University, where hebecame – and remains –the school’s all-time lead-ing scorer. He now pro-vides color commentaryfor Musketeer radiobroadcasts. Charley Wolfbegan the story for hisclan. He and fellow ath-

letes fromtheclassof1944ledSt.Xtochange its teamnames from Conquerorsto Bombers thanks to ei-ther their their long-rangepasses on the football fieldor deep shooting range onthe basketball court, de-pending on which versionof history you care to be-lieve.He latercoached theCincinnati Royals.

I was a Democrat quite a fewyears ago before I challengedmyself to identify and trulyembracemy principles.

I realized thatmy practicalprinciples including responsibil-ity and accountability weremore alignedwith the Repub-lican Party. That was an eyeopener!

I have lived in Blue Ash formore than 37 years –my familyfor 62 years, and attended Syca-more Schools - as didmy chil-dren. I’ve worked in Blue Ash,volunteered on the SycamoreSchools Advisory Commission,am actively involved inmyplace of worship, was electedRepublican Precinct Executivein Blue Ash, am an activemem-ber of the Blue Ash RepublicanClub, selected to represent ourcommunity as amember of the

Hamilton Coun-ty RepublicanParty Exec-utive Commit-tee, and votinglocationman-ager in BlueAsh 5A.

OnNov. 4 Iwill vote forJonathanDev-er, aman ofintegrity and

vision, to serve as state repre-sentative of HouseDistrict 28.

His tireless commitment toserving Ohio originated at ayoung agewhen he became alegislative aide to a commission-er.While there heworked oncivil service reform, partneringwith Democrats, Republicans,unions, andmanagement,among others, to save Ohio

taxpayers hundreds ofmillionsof dollars.

Alongwith his knowledge-able background in the legisla-tive process, he is a practicingattorney, small business owner/employer, andmost importantlya husband and father. Throughhis experiences he has theproven ability to ask knowledge-able questions on importantissues and create bipartisansolutions. These are two veryvaluable assets in deterringgridlockwhen solving the state’sproblems alongside strong-minded individuals.

His respected family heri-tage spans over seven genera-tions in the Cincinnati area.Currently, he is raising his kidson the same street where hisfather grew up. His understand-ing of the diversity in our com-

munity, and the other12 commu-nities that compriseHouseDis-trict 28, allow him to representthe entire district capably andequally.

As you consider the candi-dates and contemplate whowillbest represent you, focus on theproven abilities of JonathanDever. Hewill workwith hispeers to:

1, Improve the job outlook,utilizing the skills he’s gained asthe owner of two small busi-nesses;

2, Make infrastructure apriority with federal, state andlocal officials. Case in point, theroads and sidewalks in Blue Ashwere noted in the recent BlueAsh survey as “did not do sowell;”

3, Help our children gain thecompetitive edge they deserve

in education. SycamoreHighSchool has a15-18 percent reme-diation rate for the past severalyears and Sycamore schools areamong the best in the region;

4, Reject Obamacare’s one-size-fits-all approach and in-stead allow individuals and theirphysicians tomake their ownhealth care decisions; and

5, Return the power to localcommunities, eliminate wasteand drive accountability fromlocal officials.

I trust JonathanDever’sresponsible approach and re-spect our sound community ofBlue Ash citizens. Learnmoreabout Jonathan at www.jonath-andever.com and vote for himNov. 4.

Change needed inauditor’s office

The thing thatupsetsmethemost is when a politician saysone thing then does another.

That’s what we have withDusty Rhodes. For years hecriticized elected officialsabout “double dipping” – thenstarted double dipping him-self. He’s promoted himself aspro-citizen, but actions earlierthis year prove otherwise.

The Ohio Legislature addedareviewcouncil to therequire-ments to formaJEDZtax, inaneffort to curb abuse by localgovernments. The purpose: toreviewdevelopmentplanspro-posed by the township. Rhodeschaired the Symmes council,but didn’t appear to know whyhe was there. He rambled onabout needing more money,and liking local government,with no comment on the devel-opment plan which he was

charged to review. Then hevoted against workers andbusinesses, taxing them.Not tomention the huge fines his of-fice (the taxpayers) incurredfor failing to submit filings re-quired by the state in a timelymanner.

I’m voting forMikeMezher

for Hamilton County auditor.Mezher has ideas to bring theoffice into the 21st Century,with technology, streamlining,and revamping an office thathas been stagnant over 20years.

Six years into our so-calledeconomic recovery, jobs con-tinue to be the top issue facingOhio. I’ve built two small busi-

nesses fromthe ground upand my wifealso owns one.Between us weemploy up to15 people atany giventime.

I’m runningfor state rep-resentative tobring my job-creating expe-

rience to Columbus. I knowwhat it takes to run two busi-nesses, meet payroll and en-sure their success to providefor my family, as well as thosewe employ. The jobs climate inOhio has improved over thepast four years, but there isstill much left to do.

These adult life experiencesare indispensable for an elect-ed official. While I congrat-ulate my opponent for graduat-ing law school in May afterseven years in Columbus andwish him the best when hetakes the bar exam, I have 12years of real-life experiencepracticing law. I’ve stood withclients as they face foreclo-sure, hired and employed at-torneys and legal staff, andhandled a complex mine issuethat saved over a thousandjobs that still exist today.

I’ve never run for office,

but do have relevant experi-ence. Twenty years working oncampaigns and issues andserving as a legislative aidehave taught me a lot about howgovernment works – and how itoften doesn’t.

I got back into public policya few years ago when I sawCincinnati squandering theirmoney on a streetcar whentheir pension fund was in deeptrouble, their roads were fall-ing further into disrepair, andimportant capital needs werebeing ignored.

I am the only candidate inthis race who opposes sub-sidizing the Cincinnati street-car with Ohio tax dollars. Ohiocannot waste money on astreetcar when importanttransportation projects lackfunding.

This is my first run forpublic office. I’m not a careerpolitician or a “slick” cam-paigner. Our governmentwould make more pragmaticdecisions and be more respon-sive to its citizens if we hadmore regular people in office.

Our state is at a crossroads;we can go back to deficits anddebt that hurt working fam-ilies, or we can make Ohio thebest place in the Nation to live,work, and raise a family. Ichose the latter, and that’s whyI’m running.

Oct. 15 questionWhat is your favorite local

Haunted House or Halloweendisplay? What do you like aboutit?

“In 1970 the nation’s veryfirst Halloween HauntedHouse appeared in Cincinnati.The Sycamore-Deer Park Jay-cees in conjunctionwith old ra-dio station WSAI were respon-sible for it.Denny McKeown,the garden expert, was themastermind of the project. Heaskedmy brother and I to helphim with it.

“My brother was a teacherat Elder and supplied most ofthe ghoulies and ghosties thatbumped through the housewith his students.

“I helped with the variousghastly exhibits andwent on todesign many of the next 13houses. They made a lot ofmoney for the charities theysupported.

“But others were gettinginto the haunting business. Alot of charitable institutionswere interested in thephenom-enal profits.

“Denny and I became in-volved with the Bob HopeHouse, but the very bestWSAIHaunted House was the one atthe Dolly Cohen Mansion onVictory Parkway. It was spec-tacular and my favorite.”Roy Hotchkiss, Price Hill Historical

Society

Oct. 8 questionAre you worried about the

Ebola virus? What precautionsare you taking and what shouldpublic health officials be doingto prevent an epidemic?

“My worry about the Ebolavirus comes from thepositionsthat the government and theCDChave taken, which appearto be completely political rath-er than prudent. How unfairand irresponsible of the gov-ernment to send 3,000 of ourprecious military members toperformwhat they describe asconstruction work, but whichwill still put themincloseprox-imity to the transmissionof theEbolavirus.Medicalpersonnelwho knowingly make the deci-sion to go work in these coun-tries are to be commended, butthebottomline is that theseare

their own choices.“Further, I think that incom-

ing flights with passengersfrom the affected countriesshould be curtailed until thesituation in those regions is un-der control. Thebattle needs tobe fought where the onslaughtexists.”

S.N.

“I am not worried about theEbola virus ... yet. Certainlythisvirus isnotsomethingwithwhich any of us want to trifle.Unfortunately, the countries inAfrica where it has run ram-pant (multiple times) do nothave the sophistocation, fullunderstanding or control oftheir population to properlycontain such a virulent mon-ster as Ebola and that is why ithas killedmore than 4,000 peo-ple in that region in a short pe-riod of time. We do. I hope.

“We have all seen themovies that portray what canhappen when a highly conta-gious ‘bug’ gets lose and themass hysteria it can quicklycreate. Sure, those movies arefiction, and one would hopethat is ever the case, but howmany times have we seen fic-tion from years past become acurrent reality?”

borhoods throughout HamiltonCounty that offer great ameni-ties, with reasonable housing,shorter commutes and a mod-est cost of living compared toother parts of the country.

We don’t hear enough goodnews about Hamilton County,but we actually had an in-crease in population over thepast couple years, the largestof any of our surroundingcounties. Along with a net in-crease in jobs, I am very opti-mistic that this trend will con-tinue. As our nation’s economyimproves, Hamilton County iswell positioned to prosper.

The featured presen-tation – “Regional Trails,

Great Parks presents‘Regional Trails, FromVision to Reality’

Well, it’s done. Theentire veggie garden isnow nothing but a flatfield, ready to be plowedunder for the winter.Pumpkins and gourdshave replaced the pots of

herbs andflowersnear thedoorways.Just forfun, I put alittlepumpkindisplay bythe chick-en coop. Itwill beinteresting

to see how long it’s undis-turbed by the nightlyfour-footed marauders.

I’m hoping to get toour local farmers’ mar-ket this week to makethis really good and well-tested recipe for applebutter. What I love aboutthis apple butter is itspurity, just apples, juice,sugar if you like, andwarming spices. Butthere is a secret ingredi-ent…

Crockpot applebutter

Wow, this recipe hasbeen making the roundslately. My oldest and bestfriend, Carol Spry Va-nover (you probably feellike you know her, I’vementioned her thatmuch!) first told meabout this. Carol re-ceived a bunch of applesfrom a friend and madeapple butter. Except forher “secret” ingredient, Icouldn’t believe Carol’sis the same recipe I usedyears ago when we hadan apple orchard. Won-derful for sharing withfamily and friends. Oneother thought: I don’t addas much sugar as it callsfor.

14 nice sized apples2 cups apple juice or

pure apple cider1 cup sugar or howev-

er much you want, foreach pint of sievedcooked fruit (see below)

1 teaspoon cinnamon,

1/2 teaspoon each groundallspice and cloves foreach pint of sievedcooked fruit (see below)

1/2 cup “secret” ingre-dient: sweet white wine -Carol usedMoscato (op-tional)

DirectionsCore and quarter

apple (do not peel). Com-bine with juice insprayed crockpot. Coverand cook on low for 10-12hours or high for 2 - 4hours. When fruit istender, you’ve cooked itlong enough. Put throughfood mill to remove peel.

Measure cooked fruitand return to crock pot.For each pint of fruit,add up to 1 cup of sugaror other sweetener, 1teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2teaspoon allspice and 1/2teaspoon cloves. Stirwell. Cover and cookagain on high for 6 - 8hours, stirring aboutevery 2 hours.

Remove cover after 3hours or more to allow tocook down to a verythick puree. Add wineduring last hour of cook-ing. Spoon into hot steril-ized jars and processaccording to boilingwater bath canningmethod or cool complete-ly and store in freezer upto 1 year or frig up to amonth. Makes close to 6cups.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Use a combination ofapples if you can, somesweet, some tart. Theonly one I’d steer clearof is red delicious sincethe flavor doesn’t carrythrough.

Readers want toknow: Floating “severedhands” for Halloweenpunch.

Fill clear plasticgloves (not powdered)with your favorite bever-age. I like red fruitpunch or somethingclear. If desired, beforepouring into glove, stir ina few drops of red foodcoloring. Tie gloved hand

with a rubber band, se-curely tightened. Placeon cookie sheet. If youlike, place over a smallplastic bowl to create a“clutching” hand. Freezeuntil hard. To removefrom glove, cut belowknot and peel back glove.To assure you don’tbreak off fingers, usescissors to cut aroundfingers. Place in punchright before serving.

The Ultimate MeatResource: Cook’s Illus-trated Meat book. Nokidding, put this hardcover beauty on yourwish list, or grab a copynow. This comprehen-sive “bible” of meatcookery is just what I’dexpect from Cook’s.You’ll feel like you’re ina cooking class with eachrecipe, they are thatdetailed and tested ump-teen times until the wordthat describes the recipeis “perfect”. From slowroasted bone-in porkroast to the perfect roastturkey and everything inbetween, nothing is leftto chance. There’s also awealth of tips through-out.
