Danbarry closed the thea-ter last year after showingsecond-run movies therefor a decade. EastgateBrew and View operate theMariemont, Kenwood andEsquire Theatres as well.

“The result is continuednew development in UnionTownship,” John McGraw,chairman of the UnionTownship Board of Trust-ees, said. “I think we willlead the region in new de-velopment this year, andthis is another step in thatdirection.”

McGraw said the dealwill have a positive impactfor Union Township’s gen-eral fund for 15 years –with the township expect-ing to collect more than$300,000 the first year.

Terms of the agreementinvolving UTCIC — whichis the economic-develop-ment arm of Union Town-ship – call for EastgateBrew and View to renovateand expand the formerDanbarry site.

You’ve heard the old saying“one person’s misfortune isanother person’s blessing.”

That happenedto us this weekwhen our neigh-bor Bobby, wholives down theroad, called andsaid he had alarge ash treethat had died. Afamiliar story inour area. Frank,Bobby and ourboys made quickwork of the tree.

We’ll be glad next winter thatwe took the time in the springto get it cut and stacked.

Food is like that, too. Rightnow we’re marking rows in thegarden for produce we’ll plantnow and harvest in fall. Andthere’s a renaissance of sortsgoing on with canning andpreserving. All part of theawareness of eating healthyand controlling what’s in thefood we eat. So as we go intowarmer weather, this columnwill be a good resource foreasy home canned goods, likejellies, jams, salsas, vinegars,etc. If you have a favorite,share and I’ll publish it.

Healthy, tasty reasons to gonuts with spring recipes

Rita HeikenfeldRITA’S KITCHEN

Easy candied nuts

Spring is the time to take pantry inventory. I was doing just that when I ran across ajar of pecans that were near the expiration date. I tossed some in a nonstick skillet andmade a batch of candied pecans for our salad. They turned out so nice that I wanted togive you the recipe, too.

3 tablespoons packed light or dark brown sugar - I used light1 tablespoon water1 teaspoon vanilla1/4 teaspoon salt2 cups pecan halves

Mix together sugar, water, vanilla, and salt. It will look grainy. Set aside.Toast pecans in dry skillet for several minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burn-

ing. They’re done when they give off a nice aroma. Drizzle sugar mixture on top, stirringas you drizzle. Keep stirring until nuts are all coated. This takes about a minute. Immedi-ately spread nuts on sprayed pan in single layer to cool. They’ll look sticky but coating willharden and nuts can be broken apart after they cool completely. Store in airtight contain-er at room temperature.

Tip: A wonderful appetizer or ice cream topping, as well.

Chicken and black bean enchiladas

One of my students told me her daughterenjoys reading my recipes. “You have a new gener-ation of readers”, she said. That made me feelpretty good as that’s been my goal all along, toget everyone cooking together. Since her daughterlikes Mexican foods, here’s one of our favorites forher to try.

1-1/4 pounds chicken tenderloins, thinly sliced4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (leave

drippings in skillet)2 teaspoons minced garlic or more to taste24 oz. Picante sauce16 oz. black beans, drained, rinsed and

drained1 red or green bell pepper, diced1 generous teaspoon cumin or more to taste -

I usually add moreSalt to taste1 generous cup thinly sliced green onions,

both white and green parts12 flour tortillas, 6-inch size16 oz. Mexican cheese blend, shredded

Garnish: Tomato, sour cream, shredded ice-berg, guacamole, or diced avocado, more Picantesauce or salsa, shredded cheese.

Cook chicken and garlic until chicken iscooked. Stir in 1/2 cup Picante sauce, beans, bellpepper, cumin and salt. Simmer until thickened,stirring occasionally. Stir in green onions andbacon. Taste and add more Picante sauce, cumin,etc. if desired.

Spoon about 1/4 cup down center of eachtortilla and sprinkle on a heaping 2 tablespoonscheese. Roll up and place seam side down in asprayed 9x13 casserole.

Pour rest of Picante sauce over enchiladasand sprinkle with rest of cheese. Tent with foil andbake in preheated 350 degree oven until hotthroughout, about 30 minutes or so.

Serve topped with garnishes.Tip: Add a cup or so of frozen shoe peg corn

with the beans.

A publication of

When President Obamadeclared to the nation that hehad a “phone and a pen,” themessage was clear: if Con-gress didn’t act as he wanted,he would act unilaterally.

This built on his choicephrase from 2011 of “We Can’tWait,” seeking to bypass Con-gress with a litany of exec-utive orders, recess appoint-ments and bureaucratic rule-making.

When he said he would actwithout Congress during lastyear’s State of the Union, mycolleagues across the aisledidn’t speak up for the legisla-tive branch’s role. Rather,most Democrats stood up andapplauded the executivebranch taking over their role.

These elected members ofCongress were signaling totheir constituents that theyare fine with being irrelevant.

Irrelevantrepresentationis what hap-pens whenmembers ofAmerica’smost repre-sentativebranch con-cede theirelected role asthe legislatorsin our govern-ment.

The will of “We the People”is diluted by every act to cir-cumvent Congress: executiveactions, regulatory decreesand discretionary enforce-ment.

From rewriting immigra-tions laws to explicitly elbow-ing out the Senate from re-viewing a possible Iran treaty,this administration has stakedout a governing course con-

trary to the Constitution.Even on supposedly in-

dependent commissions, theObama agenda is being fol-lowed lock-step in his marcharound Congress. Last month,the Federal CommunicationsCommission passed a 317-pagesecret report to regulate theInternet after President Oba-ma indicated his support. Thiswill have legal effect withouta vote in Congress!

When the public does no-tice in due time, these legalrewrites are sometimes re-versed. The Bureau of Alco-hol, Tobacco and Firearms’attempt to ban certain bulletsis a recent example. The agen-cy attempted to ban certainbullets by simply omittingparticular language in a draftregulatory framework. Thepublic noticed, and the ATFbacked off.

As elected officials, wetake an oath to uphold thelaws of the land. If a law isflawed or disliked, we have aprocess to change it legally.Until it is changed by the leg-islative branch and signed bythe president, it is the law, andit is to be upheld.

Our time-tested Constitu-tional framework to separatepowers, with strong checksand balances, is in jeopardy.

When our nation was found-ed, the Executive Branch hadonly three departments; State,War and Treasury. Today, it’sup to 15, not to mention vari-ous other agencies, admini-strations and commissions.

These executive bureau-cracies have authorities tocreate regulations and penal-ties that were never voted onby the citizens or their electedrepresentatives.

One strong check Congresscan impose to rebalance exec-utive power is the REINS Act,short for Regulations from theExecutive in Need of Scrutiny.

The REINS Act would re-quire a congressional vote onany new federal regulationthat has an estimated negativeeconomic impact more than$100 million

This bill is an opportunityfor Congress to recoup someof its legislative authority thathas drifted away.

May our generation leave arestored legacy on the com-mitment to our founding prin-ciple: government doesn’tgrant power to the people,“We the People” must consentto be governed.

“But Sports Illustrated gotme and millions more in their 4/1/85 issue. They had notedsports scribe George Plimptonwrite of an unbelievable rookiepitcher Sid Finch. Sid had a fast-ball timed way beyond anypitcher then or now. He was be-ing kept under wraps by theNew York Mets, who playedalong with the farce. All the ma-

jor networks swarmed to theMets spring camp to see thisphenomenon.

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONA proposal to raise the speedlimit along the Ohio Turnpikeand rural freeways to 75 mphwas recently turned down bythe state legislature. Would yousupport such a change if itcomes up again? Why or whynot?

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

It is time to wear my steel-toed boots. Some kicking isneeded. The most depressingthing loyal citizens shouldnotice is the absolute divisionof our country into voters who

are moreloyal to theirpolitical par-ty than to ourvery troublednation.

Loyalty tothe Dum-bocrat orRepugnicantparties is notpatriotism.

You don’thave to be aneconomics

major to see that our dollar,while rising against worsecurrencies, is losing real val-ue.

The national debt is out ofcontrol. There are two waysto bring it under control. Thehonest way is to create a bud-get that actually reduces it.The other way is to print mon-ey. How much more does itcost to print a million dollarbill than a one dollar bill?

Countries that have fol-lowed the printing solutionhave all ended with nationaldisasters that have hurt thepoor disastrously. It is easierto blame some powerlessgroup than to fix the prob-lems.

My next kick goes to thepoliticians. They retain officeby dividing the populationaccording to groups that theypander to. They lure them likefish to a worm on a hook.Once caught they are kept inincreasing poverty by theeconomic or divisive politicsthat assures their personalfailure and yokes them tofalse promises of hope. Ournation is being divided intoself serving factions thatweaken it for all citizens.

Abraham Lincoln said, “Ahouse divided against itselfcannot stand.” Are we beingdivided for the greed of thepoliticians and the misin-formed public who seek spe-

cial privileges and rights?Will the public decide thatcertain groups are not in thebest interests of the countryand persecution or worse willbe the lot of some minorities?Past history of the humanrace indicates that this is adangerous possibility.

Equality is a great idea, buta fantasy. We are not all equal.President Lincoln said, “Allmen are all born equal.” Whathe didn’t add was that equal-ity ends shortly after birth.Equality is the struggle tokeep up. As society advancesthe standards raise. If weaccept the challenge with allpossible effort, we will im-prove our standards, even ifby differing amounts.

So, another kick goes tothose poorly advised peoplewho contend that equality is agiven. No, it is a factor of yourefforts! It is respected whenyou become a part of thewhole productive nation. Itmeans joining your desiredlevel of society and its norms,not society changing to acceptyou.

The next kick goes to ourpublic education system. Inthe inner city schools there isno effort to prepare thesechildren for the competitionthat awaits them after theyget handed a worthless diplo-ma. Added to this is the totallack of incentive for the manysingle mothers to see thatthey improve their lives. But,there is more. What about theuseless college degrees thatare given to graduates forunusable and politically cor-rect and inept courses? Allthey have done is create debtfor the families and wealthfor people with no moral val-ues.

Dumbocrats and Repugni-cants wise up and becomeAmericans again before it istoo late!

Want to make a person’sday? It’s usually no harderthan sending a note or placinga call.

Most of us have numerouscontributors to thank for ourpersonal growth and success –family, friends, teachers, col-leagues, etc. With the schoolyear winding down, let’s focuson opportunities to share somememories with teachers.

During schooling years andthe many educational and so-cial transitions that take place,memory-making can be prettyvivid*. Do you remember ateacher who helped you makea big leap in reading, math,writing, science, history and/orself-confidence? This Hall-mark commercial provides aplausible example of how oneteacher might make a differ-ence in a young boy’s life(http://bit.ly/LMThanksTeach-er)

And, it’s sometimes yearslater before we realize what atremendous effect that teacherhad on our development.

So...think back to your earlyyears. Do you have a treasuredteacher to thank for growthacademically or personally?

Could youexpress thanksto him/her byway of a note(or phonecall?)

One obsta-cle might begetting thecontact in-formation forthe teacher.With Internetavailability, it’s

probably easier than ever tofind a street address, phonenumber or email address andmake contact.

And if that online searchingdoesn’t work, there’s alwayschecking with the school dis-trict or other family/friendswho might have the contactinformation. :)

You may decide to reallypersonalize this note and thensend it along? Or maybe youmake Hallmark happy and finda card with just the right senti-ment?

Or, in a little “random act ofkindness” approach, you mightalso consider writing the lettera little more generically and atthe end say something along

the lines of “this could havecome from any of the dozens ofstudents who have appreciatedyour style of teaching and howmuch you care.”

Sharing your memories inthis way will be a great experi-ence for you and for the recipi-ent. After all… ”hearing howyou made another’s life bright-er ends up brightening manylives!”

Enjoy the day...and thememories!

*The book “Transitions” byBill Bridges is an all-time fa-vorite. In it, Bridges encour-ages us to consider the transi-tions in our own lives startingback in our early years andmoving to the present. It’s awonderful exercise to providea reminder of your successesin transition and also the asso-ciated uncomfortable feelings.

Head coach Brian Combssaid those guys will be thelinchpin of the team this sea-son. Junior Jonathan Gray wastabbed to be the No. 3 singlesplayer.

As far as the rest of the teamis concerned, Combs said theyare more evenly-matched andadded that five or six could cy-cle in and help the Rocketscompete with the tough GCLschedule.

“It’s a short seasoncrammed with a lot of match-es,” Combs said. “I’m glad wehave 12 guys on the team whogive us options.”

With the exception of its No.1 singles player, Anderson hasits entire starting roster backfrom a year ago.

Filling that role vacated bydistrict qualifier Pierce Scottis freshman Will Sultan.

Head coach Darin Haus-berger said having a freshmanbe the best singles player onthe team is unusual, but not un-precedented.

“Pierce filled that spot for awhile,” the coach said. “Tennisis a cyclical game—it just de-pends on who’s into the game.We’re looking forward to hav-ing Will in that role for a longtime.”

Rounding out the Redskins’singles lineup is junior Jona-than Helmers at No. 2 singlesand a freshman Ryan Hugen-berg is at No. 3 singles.

Sophomore Alex Rothfusswill also get some time at thatspot.

Hausberger said getting thedoubles teams down has beenmore of a challenge in terms offinding the right mix.

He added that senior DanMassoud, who was the team’sNo. 2 singles player last year,moved to the doubles teams tohelp solidify that spot. He willbe paired with sophomoreNoah Loepke.

Fellow sophomores SamRay and Max Hoffman are

paired for No. 2 doubles.Hausberger said seniors

John Dickhaus and TommyHuang will contribute as well.

Turpin enjoyed an EasternCincinnati Con-ference champi-onship last sea-son and hadBrett Schubert,Adam Bercz,Brad Bardua,Will McBeathand Bead Bar-dua receive hon-

ors from the conference lastseason.

No further information wasmade available at press time.

The Spartans are coachedby reigning ECC coach of theyear Katelyn Rodgers.

The Walnut Hills Eagles fin-ished second in the Eastern

Cincinnati Conference lastseason and have had four win-ning seasons under coachSteve Levine.

Levine returns starting sen-iors Laine Harrett, TorcadoVaz, Con Murray and JakeFriedman plus sophomore BenHussey. Junior Samuel Musserwill also figure in the mix andsophomores Lars Knoblochand Beck Burchette add depth.

Harrett and the doublesteam of Con Murray and BenHussey were ECC second teamlast season

“We are very deep, motivat-ed, determined and team-fo-cused,” Levine said.

SHORT HOPS

By Nick [email protected]

WALNUT HILLS —Though they led for mostof the game, the WalnutHills High School boysbasketball team couldn’thold off a ferocious

fourth-quarter comebackfrom Moeller on March 6.

The Crusaders scored27 points in the final stan-za, more than their previ-ous three quarters com-bined, to end the Eaglesseason 48-40 in the Divi-sion I sectional final atFairfield.

With the defeat, WalnutHills finished 19-6 and theprep careers of RobbyPerry, Crephat Grengbon-dai, Laine Harrett, KyleGilioli, Caleb Tregre andMaCio Teague came to aclose. The latter two,Tregre and Teague,helped the Eagles reloadafter the 2013 state semi-finalists departed.

“Those two were spe-cial kids,” Walnut HillsCoach Ricardo Hill said.“After practice, theywere still in the gym.They came up to the gymat night. That’s when youget better, when no one’swatching.”

Tregre averaged 8.9and 11.5 points as a juniorand senior with a highgame of 29 points this sea-son. Teague averaged 22.4as a junior and 25. 7 thisseason. He was in doubledigits every game, hadthree double-doubles anda high of 51points in a Jan-uary rout of Piqua.

Both have attractedcollege interest, withTeague’s latest suitors in-cluding Fairfield, Marist,San Jose State and Hous-

ton. Given the recenttrack record on VictoryParkway, Hill is confidentthere will be more playersof note on the way.

“We’ve won 60 gamesour three years here,” Hillpointed out. “That’s goingto attract some qualitykids. The school alreadyhas phenomenal academ-ic standards. You’ve gotthe best of both worlds.”

Despite the loss of hisscoring guards, Hill hasplenty of reason for opti-mism at Walnut. One ofthe popular cheers at Ea-gles games was, “He’s afreshman!” The Eagleshad four ninth-gradersthat saw time in OmariPeek, Cory Davis, HunterDavidson and KameronGibson.

Peek is 6-foot-5, Davis6-foot-4, Gibson 6-foot-3and Davidson 6-foot-2.Sophomore Michael Da-venport is 6-foot-3. All willreturn next year withmore physical maturity.

“We’ll give them sometime to rest their bodiesand then we’re gettingright in the weight roomto start preparing for nextyear,” Hill said. “We haveprobably the best weightroom in Southwest Ohio.”

Also expected back arejuniors Adam Goines, D.J.Benson, A.J. Fletcher,Khenyon Wilcox andsophomore Malcolm Mof-fitt. On the way to varsityeventually will be com-petitive Eagles from theirsuccessful junior highteams.

“It’s not a basketballteam anymore, it’s a bas-ketball program,” Hillsaid.

The Eagles coach hasgone from quick guardsgoing inside to IsaiahJohnson and D.J. Wing-field to a quick unit with apair of marksmen inTeague and Tregre. Hill isfine with either style.

“The game is changinga little bit with teams go-ing to the five-out motionas opposed to the oldschool two post players,”he said. “Our philosophyis you have to be able toplay inside and out.”

This summer, Hill willwork on getting some ofhis guys college exposurebefore unveiling the lat-est flock of Eagles nextfall.

Although many con-sumers don’t do it, it’smore important thanever to have a used vehi-cle checked out by acertified mechanic andlook for safety defectsprior to a purchase.

You see, while it isillegal to sell a new carwith an unrepaired safe-ty recall, there is no

federal law prohibitingthe sale of used carswith unrepaired safetydefects.

You may recall tensof millions of cars wererecalled for safety de-fects in just the pastyear.

Defects range fromexploding airbags todangerously defective

ignition switches. Yet,many of those vehiclesare being offered forsale right now eventhough the repairs havenot been made. In fact,about 25 percent of carowners do not get theirvehicles repaired within18 months of a safetyrecall, according to theNational Highway Traf-

fic SafetyAdmini-stration.

Carfax,whichsells vehi-cle historyreports,estimatesabout 36millionregisteredcars and

trucks currently haveoutstanding safety re-calls. In some cases,Consumer Action re-ports, parts needed torepair a defect are inshort supply leavingpotentially dangerousvehicles on the roadindefinitely.

Sometimes recallnotices don’t reach own-ers because they havemoved or the owners

don’t get the repairsdone because they maynot feel the recalls arevery important.

While manufacturersare required by the gov-ernment to notify con-sumers of safety defectsand perform repairs,they only pay for thoserepairs for 10 yearsfrom the time a vehicleis determined to have asafety defect. Of course,unrepaired vehicles notonly put the driver andpassengers at risk butothers on the road aswell.

Those looking to buya used vehicle shouldalso check the govern-ment’s website, Safer-Car.gov. There, consum-ers can look up a car’svehicle identificationnumber to see if there’s

an unrepaired recallbefore agreeing to buythe vehicle.

No matter where youshop to buy a used car,either from a nationalretailer or a local dealer-ship, you still need to getthat vehicle’s VIN num-ber checked with thenational database to seeif there’s an open recallon the particular vehicleyou are looking to buy.

Incidentally, all themajor car rental compa-nies have now pledgedto stop renting or sellingunrepaired recalled carsto consumers.
