Enyart to get sidewalksconnecting library, school

Symmes Elementary Schoolstudents and library visitorscould soon have a sidewalk towalk on.

Sidewalks for Enyart Roadare included in Symmes Town-ship’s sidewalk plan, which was

adopted last year. The proposedsidewalks will run from Mont-gomery Road, about 737 feetdown the street to connect theelementary and library branch.Before construction can begin,township Administrator BrianElliff will have to get permis-sion from the school and the li-brary to install them on their

property, Elliff said.“We want to make sure

they’re comfortable with (side-walks),” he said.

Elliff added that if both par-ties agree to allow the sidewalkson their property, constructionon them could begin as early asthis fall, because little planningand engineering would be need-

ed. He said that preliminarycosts show the project couldcost about $25,000, whichwouldcome out of a budget that is setaside for building sidewalksthroughout the township.

When discussions aboutwhere sidewalks should be builtthis year happened earlier,building them on Enyart was a

priority because not only does itprovide safe walking access forstudents and library patrons,but it also connects to the side-walks on the west side of Mont-gomery Road by crosswalk, El-liff said.

BLUE ASH — The proposedapartmentdevelopment onKen-wood Road won’t be startinganytime soon as Blue Ash CityCouncil denied a necessary zon-ing change.

“People are letting you knowwe don’t want this,” MelissaMcCann of Longren Court toldcouncil Aug. 8. “This is a resi-dential community – peoplewant to live here and it’s soughtafter – listen to the people thatelected you.”

The council voted 4-3 against

the change that would havemade more than 26 acres at10900 Kenwood Road a residen-tial area instead of a light-indus-trial district. Before the vote,Councilwoman Stephanie Stoll-er and Gary Bates, her BomarkCourt neighbor, had a heated ex-change.

“There was an emergencymeeting at a council member’shouse last night to hear the con-cerns of the developer,” Batessaid. “I find that highly inappro-priate.”

Stoller answered the accusa-tion by telling Bates he was in-vited but refused to attend. Theadmission of the meeting drewthe ire of the crowd and MayorMarkWeberhadtocall fororderand threaten to have PoliceChief Paul Hartinger removeanyone elsewho interrupted themeeting.

Besides the nighttime meet-

ingwith thedeveloper,most res-idents were opposed to the de-velopment because they didn’twant anymore apartments inBlue Ash.

“I walk the community withmy wife every night and you’vedone a great job connectingthese communities,” said GaryGlass, Blue Ash resident, tocouncil. “As we do these devel-opments, we’re watering downthe communities and we’re ca-tering to the transient communi-ty.”

Glass, who grew up in NewJersey and said he moved toBlue Ash from Mason, echoedthe sentiments of many otherswho spoke at the hearing.

Stoller and Councilmen RickBryanandJimSumnervotedforthe zoning change while Coun-cilmenTomAdamec andRobert

Ryan Silverman, right, and staff members from the Silverman development company and Hal Homes did notreceive the zoning change needed to build a high-density, luxury apartment complex at 10900 KenwoodRoad. JASON HOFFMAN/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

MONTGOMERY — An emptybuilding and parking lot sitjust north of Cross CountyHighway on MontgomeryRoad after years of discussionbetween Montgomery offi-cials and developers.

The lot, former home of aChevrolet dealership, isowned by HPA DevelopmentGroup– the thirdowner insev-en years. Development hasbeen at a standstill for amulti-tude of reasons, but the mainissue is coming up with a planthat meets Montgomery’sbuilding requirements whilemakingmoneyfordevelopers.

“We put in zoning regula-tions to try and ensure (thesite) gets developed into amulti-use way that’s comple-mentary with downtownMontgomery,” said Frank Da-vis, community developmentdirector. “There is a limit onbuilding footprint of no morethan15,000 square feet andnothigher than three stories.”

Previous plans for the sitewould have placed as many as13 buildings with a mixture ofupscale condominiums, officespace and retail stores on theproperty. Building density is aconcern for the city anddevel-opers because the city doesn’twant an overabundance ofbuildings andparking lots, buta lower density means lessprofit.

Additionally, any develop-ment would have to aestheti-cally look likeotherdowntownbuildings, Davis said.

Access is also a concern aswell as dealing with trafficflow.

“The problem is two-fold,”Davis said. “It’s hard to get onand off the site with traffic inthe area and we don’t want tooverloadMontgomery Road.”

Any development wouldprobably need a traffic lighton Montgomery Road, but itwould have to generateenough traffic to warrant alight, Davis said.

The city is still in negotia-tions with HPA but no timeta-ble has been set for the groupto move forward with submit-ting plans. HPA did not re-spond tomultiple requests forcomment.

Buckman, Vice MayorLee Czerwonka and We-ber voted against.

“Theschoolswouldgetabout $444,000 a year andtherewould not be a lot ofkids (attending from thenewdevelopment),” Stoll-er said. “The businessesin Blue Ash need moreresidents – we need more

peoplewithmoney tohelprestaurants and otherbusinesses,” she said.

Adamec and Czerwon-ka made the case that al-lowing the zoning changewould disregard andabandon the city’s strate-gic plan which calls forBlue Ash to be split intoequal thirdsofrecreation,residential and commer-cial areas.

“The comprehensiveplanhas traditionallyheldup and if it’s degraded it

no longer matters,” Czer-wonka said.

Stoller disagreed, say-ing she had seen masterplanning change over hertime on council.

Thevicemayor saidhereceived more than 85phone calls and emailsfrom residents urginghim to vote against thezoning change. Weber,whowroteacolumn in theNortheast Suburban Life,was the most outspokenopponent to the plan and

drew repeated cheersfrom the crowd.

“We don’t have to de-velopeverysquarefootofBlue Ash,” Weber said. “Ican’t find a single reasonto support the wrong de-

velopment in the wrongplace.”

BLUE ASH — After be-ing told their city officialshave no authority, Mont-gomery residents tooktheir complaint of gunnoise from Point BlankRang & Gun Shop to BlueAsh City Council Thurs-day. Aug 8.

“All we are asking isthat the rangeownersbeagood neighbor and addsufficient sound proofingto prevent gun shots frombeing audible at any resi-dence inMontgomeryandBlue Ash,” said Steve Pol-lak, Montgomery resi-dent.

When Point Blankopened in November,owner Tom Willinghamhad an acoustic engineeron site to ensure his busi-ness wasn’t violatingguidelines in the Ohio Ad-ministrativeCode, he saidin a June interview. Thoseguidelines call for nomore than 85 decibels formore than eight hours aday or 90 decibels formore than one hour a day.

“We have done every-thing we can to be a goodneighbor,” Willinghamsaid. “Some shootingranges have bad reputa-tions and I don’t wantPoint Blank to be that.”

The group of about 20took its complaint toMontgomeryofficials last

month, but was told sincethe issue originates inBlue Ash, there was noth-ing to be done, promptingthe group to go to BlueAsh officials. Eventhough they have nostanding in Blue Ash, thegrouphasbeenputtingfli-ers in Blue Ash residents’mailboxes to see if anywould bring a complaintagainst thebusiness.Thusfar, no Blue Ash residentshave filed a complaintagainst the range.

Pollak played a record-ing he said was gun noiserecorded Aug. 3 at 10874Deerfield Road.

“The gunfire is audibleinside our homes with thewindowsclosed,aircondi-tioners running, televi-sions on and above all theambient noise in thearea,” Pollak said. “Thenoise emanating from thePoint Blank Gun Rangethreatens ... quality of lifeand our personal invest-ments.”

Blue Ash officials re-fused to comment be-cause the group hasthreatened legal actionand Mayor Mark Webersaid the city’s legal coun-sel advised not to speakabout the issue.

The Blue Ash PoliceDepartment previouslyconducted tests with citystaff and found PointBlank to be in accordancewith its noise restrictions,Police Chief Paul Hartin-ger said.

Many foreign studentsstudy abroad in high school fora year or two as exchange stu-dents. At Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy, most stayfor its entirety.

When Dean Nicholas, prin-cipal of CHCA’s Martha S.Lindner High School, 11525Snider Road, took his job in2007, three students from Ko-rea who attended a publicschool for a year wanted tostay and finish their highschool years at CHCA. He gotto know those students, andfelt that bringing in more aspart of a program would bebeneficial for the students andstaff alike.

The school began workingwith agencies, which wouldconnect interested studentswith staff members. Nicholasbegan to build relationshipswith people in mostly Asiancountries, where students arelooking for ways to get intoAmerican universities and be-lieve attending high school inthe United States will givethem a better chance, he said.

It started from there – theschool’s program began bychancewith threestudentsandevolved into a group of 36 stu-dents from11countries inAsia,Europe,SouthAmericaandAf-rica. Nicholas said that be-cause of the service work andmission trips that students arerequiredtoparticipate inwhileattending CHCA, they had themindset that these studentswere people they needed tohelp.Hewanted to change thatslightly.

“One of the things thatpushed me is that I saw themindset in kids that these arepeoplewhoweneeded tohelp,”he said. “But these people areour classmates, collaborators,bosses, teammates and co-workers. I wanted to changethat mindset ... and I wantedthem to get a realistic pictureof the world.”

CHCA is admitting its owninternational students withoutagencies, helping match hostfamilies and integrating theminto the community. Admis-sions counselor Kim Vincentsaid many students who cometo the school from other coun-

tries hear about their programby word of mouth. Studentswant the “full American stu-dent experience,” where theylearn not only how to be re-sponsible for themselves buttheir interests and passions.

Yujin Cho, an alumna ofCHCAfromKorea, said her fa-vorite part about attendingschool in theUnited Stateswasthat she could choose whichclasses she wanted to take andwhat extra-curricular activ-ities she wanted to participatein.Sheaddedthat inKorea,stu-dents attend school all day andevening, take the same classesaseveryoneelseandhave littleto no free time to explore theirinterests.

As a student here, Cho be-gan learningtoplaymusical in-struments inher free time, anddiscovered that science issomething she wanted to pur-sueasacareer.AfterattendingBaylor University in Texas fora year, she moved back to Ko-rea and is taking time off fromschool while working as a re-searcher for Samsung.

“I like a lot of differentthings, and I think I’m good atthem, but choosing the optionof becoming a scientist hap-pened at CHCA,” she said.

Senior Silk Kim's newlyfound independence allowedher to branch out and explorewhat she loves and grow into aleader. Before coming to theUnited States, Kim had an in-terest in human rights. Whenshe got here, she dove into do-ing serviceworkaspart of Stu-dent Organized Service, orSOS,groups,becomingagroupleader for Kids Care Club,where students workwith kidson service projects on campus.She also participated in themock United Nations programand sawwhat itwas like to dealwith human rights issues as acountry. Next year, she’ll at-tendWashington University inSt. Louis.

Kim said that although hernew independence was a chal-lenge because it wasn’t some-thing she was accustomed to,she was able to challenge her-self and found a lot of supportto back her.

“I’vemet a lot of peoplewhohave supported me, and now Ifeel like I could do anythingwith no fear,” she said. “I feel

very respected.”For Che Li, a senior from

China, the biggest challengewas the language barrier. Hecame to CHCA knowing verylittle English, and some won-deredwhetherhecouldpickupthe language quick enough tostart classes.By theendof thatyear, he’dwon an award for hisEnglish class, Nicholas said.

Although he said learningthe language was a challengeand that many times he washomesick, his friends andteachers were welcoming andmotivating. Li said his Englishclasseshavenotonlymadehima better English speaker, butimprovedhis grammarandde-veloped important criticalthinking skills that will takehimto theUniversity ofWater-loo in Canada.

“The overall environmentat CHCA is friendly and open,”he said. “Thediversity and cul-ture is open, and I feel well re-spected by my teachers andpeers.”

Benjamin Reaño, a seniorfrom Colombia, only attendedCHCA this year but said thelessonshe’s learnedbeforecol-lege here have made an im-pact. Not only has he learnedpractical lessons aboutmanag-ing money and being responsi-ble for himself, but he’s alsobeen able to connect with hisfaith. Reaño said that being atCHCA has prepared him forthings he might experienceoutside of the school, such asdealing with peer pressure.Weekly chapel attendance andthe religious emphasis helpeddevelophis faith and ledhim tostudy next year at CincinnatiChristian University.

“For me as a Christian, it’sbeen really good to be at thisschool. CHCAwill alwayshavepeople, including students,who will help you with (peer)pressure,” he said. “If youwant to try, There are a lot ofgroups (at CHCA) who canhelp you with your spirituallife.”

Nicholas said he's alwayswanted a diverse student body.AsCHCAcontinues to grow itsinternationalstudentprogram,that aspiration will continue.

EASTLANSING,MICH.—The ties that bind occa-sionally slip loose.

Take the reigning BigTen defensive player ofthe year in volleyball, Ur-suline Academy graduateKori Moster, a rising ju-nior at Michigan StateUniversity.

She doesn’t remembera time growing up whenher godparents – Marianand Pat Reece – didn’thave her in tow to watchtheir daughters Nikki,Mindy and Abbie playingvolleyball for Mount No-tre Dame. She would passwith the girls and rootedfor the Cougars.

Yet when it was time topick a high school, theSpringfieldTownshipresi-dent choseUrsulineAcad-emy.

“When Iwas going in to

be a freshman, theiryoungest daughter wasgoing to be a senior atMND,” Moster said.“When we played MNDmy freshman year I wasdressing varsity. By thetournament, I was playingalittleasaservingspecial-ist.

“WeplayedMND in theregional finals and I’ll al-ways remember playingagainst Abbie. They beatus in five,whichstunk,butit was a great experienceplaying against her. AfterAbby graduated, my god-parentswould come tomygames. Dressed in green.”

Moster stayed in greenwhen colleges came call-ing.

“Coming out of theGGCL, every time youplayed a match you knowthe other team can beatyou if you don’t play yourbest,” she said. “I’d be ly-ing if I said itwas thesame

level of volleyball, but it’sthe same feeling. The con-ference rivalries are al-ways great. I eliminatedmost of the schools thatrecruitedmebecausetheydidn’t have those strongconference rivalries.”

Now at the midpoint ofher Spartan career, Mos-ter looks to add to hergrowing litany of awards -the conference defensivehonor, honorable mentionAll-America, three-timeBig Ten freshman of theweek and UConn ClassicMVP nods among them -andcontinueelevatinghergame.

To that end, Mosterspent part of her summerin Dallas, Texas, trainingwith the 2013 U.S. Wom-en’s National A2 Program.

She and 47 other hand-picked players fromacross thecountryworkedout and played for a weekunder the tutelage of sev-

eral influential coaches,including 2016 U.S. Olym-pic women’s coach KarchKirly.

“It was really cool be-cause there were all theselegendary coaches thereand all this competition,”Moster said. “It was greatto learn from them, to seedifferent styles of play,different coaching meth-ods.”

All of which she tookback to MSU with her tohelp impart on campersranging inagefrom9to18,someofwhomareSpartanrecruits and future team-mates.

“I think we’re going tobeverygood,”Mostersaidof her junior season. “Af-teraSweet16 lastyearanda great recruiting classwith some players whocan contribute right away,I think we’ve got a chanceto make some noise.”

SycamoreIn the difficultGreater

Miami Conference, theLady Aves were 3-5-1 and4-11-2 overall in 2012 forseventh place. Sycamorewill have a new turf fieldto play on this season atthe high school locationoff Cornell Road.

Eight starters returnfor fourth-year coachKendra Hornschmeier inseniors Ashley Bonnoitt,Azante Griffith, Michael-la Keyes, and Sara Con-stand; juniors AshleyThiss and Allie and KatieOh; and sophomoreGrace

As for newcomers,freshman Renee Fosterwill convert from a fieldplayer to a keeper for theLady Aves.

“She’s a great kid withgreat attitude and workethic,” Hornschmeiersaid. Sycamore opens theseason at home againstEast Central on Aug. 20.

Ursuline AcademyThe Lions were one

stepfromtheDivisionI fi-nal four last season -going16-3-2 and taking secondin the Girls Greater Cin-

cinnati League - beforelosing 2-1 to Mason in theregional final.

Head coach ColleenDehring graduated sevenfrom that squad, includ-ing 2013Northeast Subur-ban Life Sportswoman oftheYearMichelleChristy,nowplaying atTennessee,and SarahByrnewho nowplays for Dayton. But Ur-suline’s cupboard is farfrom bare as a result.

“We have great teamchemistry and a verystrong returning core,”Dehring said. “We alsohave several players whohave been playing togeth-er for three years, so theyknow each other and un-derstand how to play witheach other. We have holes

to fill in each area of thefield, but I am confidentthatwehaveagreatgroupfrom which we can fillthose holes.”

Returning starters in-clude a pair of seniors inkeeper Anna Speyer anddefender Allison Werner.Also back a quintet of ju-niors: Defenders JordanHollmeyer and EmmaNiehaus, midfieldersMattina Girardot and An-die Kennard, and strikerSarah Roberston.

Varsity veterans whocould step into startingroles this season includesenior midfielder SarahSeedhouse, junior mid-fielder Emily Halmi, ju-nior defender AndreaSanitato and sophomore

midfielder Holyn Alf.Keep an eye on freshmanPaige Hollmeyer, Jor-dan’s younger sister, whocould make an impactright away.

DehringsaidSt.UrsulaAcademy should be theteamtobeat in thealways-demanding GGCL, buther club has high hopes.

“Win league, district,regional, state, these arethe lofty goals and onesthat I know many teamshave,” she said. “But also,play good soccer, go intothe tournament playingwell, healthy and ready tostart the second season.We have a pretty toughschedule this year and Ihope itwill get us ready toplay into November.”

NKU athletes honored for academicsCommunity Recorder

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS —Though field dimensionshaven’t changed and thegame still involves nineplayers, the jump to Divi-sion I baseball was a diffi-cult one forNorthernKen-tucky University.

After a 36-22 record in2012, the Norse were afrustrating 8-47 in theirfirst year in the AtlanticSun.

To remedy that, coachTodd Asalon has broad-ened his horizons inrecruiting. Because theywere not Division I in thepast, NKU often landedtransfers who didn’t haveto sit out.

Now, like all DI institu-tions, a transfer must sit ayear. Because of the levelof play and new restric-tions, the Norse coachingstaffhasdonesomerecentglobe-trotting.

“We signed eight Cana-dians this year, we’re try-ing to go a little interna-tional to change thingsup,” Asalon said. “We’realso going out to the westcoast with a couple kidsout of the Colorado area.We went with some juniorcollegekidsthatarea littlebit bigger, stronger andfaster.”

Asaresult,NKUwillbeon the young side nextyear with their only sen-iors being Brett Cisperfrom Moeller and Zac As-man from Elder.

Those two are the vet-

erans of the local crewthatAsalonwould still liketo attract. What he has tooffer is a favorable loca-tion where friends andfamily can watch collegegames without consider-able travel expense.

“If we can get the localkid, we’d love to havethem,” Asalon said.

Joining Cisper and As-man on the list of NKU lo-cals is infielderCalebLon-kard of Ryle, pitcher BelaPerler of Anderson, AlexBolia and Nick Beard ofElder, pitcher DrewCampbell of La Salle, Ma-deira catcher Cody Kuz-niczci and Moeller out-fielder Ryan LeFevers.

Asalon likes tourna-ment-tested GreaterCatholic League playersand also has another play-er with considerable post-season experience in Kuz-niczci.

“We’ve ramped it upagain,” Asalon said.“We’re going to play thebest people possible.”

Blurred lines between movie, realitySeveral years ago I was

teaching mythology. At thefirst class meeting I told mystudents that the next sessionthey would be watching amovie about the creation of agod.

When the class started therewas great anticipation aboutwhat they would see. It was aclassic movie, filmed in 1934 inin Europe. There was greateconomic distress due to WorldWar I and a crippling inflation.The recent election seated acharismatic ruler. An earlyscene shows a labor campwhere people are well fed andmarched to work in uniformsto a military band with shovelsin place of guns on their rightshoulders.

It shouldn’t have taken you

long to figureout that thecountry wasGermany. Isaw it first in aclass about theNazi film in-dustry. Weviewed a num-ber of films.We alsolearned that

the Nazi party had operativesstationed outside the theaterswhen the movie let out. Theirjob was to interview the pa-trons and to glorify Hitler andthe Nazi Party. We can be cer-tain that dissent would lead totrouble.

The movie shows manyscenes of an absolutely adoringpopulace. One might wonder if

these scenes were scripted orif they were real. Either way,they were very effective.

There is a very importantpoint to make. The Germanpeople were very carefullybeing indoctrinated and con-trolled by the Nazi Party. Freebenefits such as camping andtime away from school forthese exciting trips were a biginducement. Those who chosenot to go were given extrawork in school with the strict-est control. What young childwould not take advantage ofthis adventure?

It was clear to the childrenand their parents that the gov-ernment provided food andmuch needed entertainment.What wasn’t clear was that thiswas just the beginning of the

government drawing the pop-ulation slowly into enslave-ment to it. History has manyexamples of the establishmentof a dictator. Many begin simi-lar to this.

The movie continues withidolizing crowds at every ap-pearance of Hitler. One canonly imagine the feeling ofrecovery (due to the war indus-try) after losing WWI and thegreat inflation that followed.Perhaps there was hope afterall!

Another scene has Hitlerpreparing to fly to Nurembergfor a party rally. We see himentering the plane with twogenerals. The movie shows theshadow of the plane over thecity. The image of a cross isnot accidental. Later we see

Hitler addressing the partyfaithful in Stuttgart as thegreat orator he was. Leni Rei-fenstahl, the cinematographerhas him encircled with a halo.At that point, many in my classwere gasping in wonder.

Yes, Hitler was regarded bymany as a God. Perhaps hebegan to believe it himself. Weall know where this led theGerman people. Is it possiblethat a leader here could yieldto the same self delusion?Could the Constitution be sub-verted to create a dictatorship?Benjamin Franklin warned ofthis. The movie is “Triumph ofthe Will” it is available at thelibrary with English subtitles.

On Aug. 8, residents packedBlue Ash city council cham-bers to oppose a zoning changemotion to allow construction ofa 250-unit apartment complexat the north end of KenwoodRoad, a property abutted bylight industry and a rail line ontwo sides and a high-traffic,four-lane road.

The developer, Blue Ash-based Silverman & Co., putforth a glowing vision for thecomplex, which a companyrepresentative described asdesigned to attract young pro-fessionals to our city that,according to a “market ad-visor” hired by the company, isin need of more rental housing.

Residents were invited tospeak before council, and forthe next two hours, those resi-dents expressed concernabout:

» overloading schools andcity services;

» tenants deemed too “tran-sient;”

» risk of failure;» property devaluation;» digression from the city’s

master development plan, and» that Silverman and city

council proponents were put-ting business profits ahead ofcity values.

The motion was defeated byjust a 4-3 margin, in spite ofnot a single resident speakingin favor of the development.Council members StephanieStoller (Ward 2), Rick Bryan(Ward 3) and James Sumner(Ward 1) voted in favor. Noneof the three in-favor councilmembers, Silverman nor Sil-verman’s “market advisor”could put forth a single resi-dent to speak in favor of theplan. Stoller was the plan’smost vocal advocate and evenher description of the propertyas “a flood plain unfit for lightindustrial use” didn’t (for herat least) disqualify it as a fineresidential development candi-date – in her ward no less.

The apartment rental mar-ket is heating up. Foreclosedhomeowners and potentialfirst-time buyers are excludedfrom the market by tight cred-it need housing, so the demandfor these properties is growingand won’t ebb soon. Irrespec-tive of the pro or cons aboutrental properties, they’re notour enemies per se; one wellknown and thriving communi-ty is more than 70 percent

rental – theisland of Man-hattan.

Developerslike Silverman(which by anystandard hasbeen a greatcorporate BlueAsh citizen formore than 30years), will

move aggressively. But whywould a “high end” apartmentcomplex amid industrial build-ings, fronting a road frequent-ed by semis, and just minuteswalk from fine shopping anddining options like Speedwayand Smashburger (or perhapsthe Wornick military rationsfactory down the street), at-tract young professionals whohave increasing choicesamong The Banks, Over-The-Rhine, and Hyde Park? It’s justsilly. But silly decisions getmade when the market getshot.

When it comes time again toevaluate the next apartmentdevelopment plan, we shouldperhaps judge it not only onwhether rental properties fitBlue Ash’s long-term vision,but also whether that devel-opment makes any sense at all.This one made no sense. BlueAsh residents were smartenough to see that, why didn’tthe developer and three citycouncil members see it too?

John Hunt Morgan remainscontroversial 150 years afterhis July raid through Ohio. Tosome he is still the “bold cava-lier” - a martyred hero of theLost Cause. To others he is ascoundrel - a common crimi-nal who deserved jail time.What to make of him?

Morgan should have beencourt-martialed. He disobeyeda direct order not to cross intoOhio. He accomplished verylittle of military significanceand yet succeeded in destroy-ing his command.

Was the raid a militarysuccess?

Historian Edward Lon-gacre wrote that for a raid “tobe considered a complete andenduring success it had to belinked in someway with alarger operation. Damage toenemy property, howeverextensive, was not deemed asufficient feat unless it ma-terially aided the greaterdesigns of the general-in-chiefof the army. In other words,when it made strategic as wellas tactical contributions to thefortunes of the army.”

With these criteria in mind,let’s analyze the raid. Morgandid accomplish his initial ob-jective of delaying the Federaladvance into eastern Ten-nessee. The objective of theOhio portion of the raid was

apparently hisown - raidingdeep into ene-my territory.

He causeda significantamount ofdamage inOhio -$897,000 in-cluding militiasalaries. Cler-

mont County, with its paidclaims of $76,479, ranked thehighest in the state. The larg-est local payouts were for theLittle Miami Railroad($13,700) and theWilliams-burg covered bridge ($2,700).The remaining 427 Clermontclaims were paid to civiliansfor livestock, jewelry, cloth-ing, cheese and crackers, andtwo barrels of beer. This dam-age does not rise to the levelof causing a blow to theNorth’s military effort. There-fore, Morgan’s Ohio raid alsofailed Longacre’s second test.

After a while, disciplinebegan to fall apart. The raid-ers indulged in drinking. Theytook bird cages, ice skates,bolts of calico; none of whichhadmilitary significance.They began to look more likedrunken Vikings than trainedmilitary operatives.

The raid did have a psycho-logical benefit of raising

Southern morale; especiallyafter the crushing defeats ofGettysburg and Vicksburg.But the temporary benefitcame at a frightful price - theloss of 2,160 of his 2,460-mancommand.

Morgan lost favor withinthe Confederate commandstructure. He was seen bysome as untrustworthy. Hiscelebrity, stoked by the raid,probably saved him from aninvestigation.

After escaping from theOhio State Penitentiary, Mor-gan reformed his command.But it wasn’t the same. Hismen were not of the samecaliber. His activities shadedmore to the criminal thanmilitary. After robbing a bankinMount Sterling, Kentucky,an investigation was opened.He was saved from a probablecourt-martial when he waskilled in September 1864.

How are we to observe theanniversary of the raid? Thisquestion, and the larger ques-tion of how should we view theCivil War 150 years later, willbe addressed in the next arti-cle. We will compare twostates - Ohio and Georgia - tosee their different approachesto this topic.

CE-0000565149

Sometimes I wish Iwas a high-tech person.Like a while back when Imade dilly beans andtook photos of the beanspicked from my gardenalong with photos of thefinished beans after

canning. Istill havethe photoof thegardenbeans, butthe fin-ishedbeans injars photohas van-ished and Idon’t know

how to retrieve it frommy camera. I can’t takeanother photo because,well, the beans are allgone.

The recipe makesfour jars and were sogood that we ate a jarand gave the other threeaway. But I promise youwill love the beans, pho-to or not.

I was blown away bythe huge response toTom W.’s request for a7-Up cake that was pub-lished years ago in theEnquirer. The storiesalone made me chuckle,not to mention how goodall the recipes looked. Iwill share both in anupcoming blog. TodayI’m sharing two ver-sions: One from scratch,which Tom wanted, andanother using a cakemix. Some folks don’tice the cake, but othersdo so I’m sharing icingrecipes as well.

Rita’s classic dillybeans

Friend and colleagueLeah Ochs, director ofJungle Jim’s cookingschool, has a similarrecipe and substitutesSriracha sauce to tastefor the pepper flakes.

2 generous pounds greenbeans, trimmed to fitcanning jars

4 teaspoons dill seed or 4large heads dill

4 small cloves garlic1 teaspoon red pepperflakes, divided (optional)

21⁄2 cups clear vinegar21⁄2 cups water1⁄4 cup canning salt

Pack beans length-wise into four hot pintjars, leaving 1⁄4-inch headspace. To each pint, add1⁄4 teaspoon pepper, 1clove garlic and 1 tea-spoon dill seed. Bringvinegar, water and saltto a boil. Pour immedi-ately over beans, leav-ing 1⁄4-inch head space.Remove air bubbles bysliding a butter knifearound inside edges ofjars. Wipe rims cleanwith damp cloth. Placeseals and rings on. Proc-ess 10 minutes in boilingwater bath. These arebest eaten chilled.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

If you don’t want tocan these, cap and seal,cool to room temper-ature and store in re-frigerator up to sixmonths.

7-Up cake fromscratch

Here’s Donna A.’srecipe from 30 yearsago. Tom wanted a from-scratch recipe, so hope-fully this will work.

11⁄2 cups butter, softened3 cups sugar5 eggs3 cups flour2 tablespoons lemon extract

3⁄4 cup 7-Up

Preheat oven to 325degrees. Cream sugarand butter together andbeat until light andfluffy (about 20 minuteswith an electric beater).Add eggs, one at a timeand beat well. Add flourone cup at a time. Beatin lemon extract and7-Up. Pour batter into awell greased and flouredjumbo, fluted Bundtpan. Bake for 1-11⁄4 hours.

Simple lemon glazeThis is one I use for

lemon pound cake. Juststir 2⁄3 cup confectioner’ssugar with 1 tablespoonor so lemon juice.

Diane Byrne’s 7-Uppound cake usingcakemix

Diane, a Lovelandreader, told me: “I gotthis from my mom sev-eral years ago. I’ve nev-er made the glaze with-out the alcohol. I’m notsure what you’d sub-stitute.” Any sugges-tions?

1package Duncan HinesLemon Supreme CakeMix

1 4-cup package instantlemon pudding

1⁄2 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs1 cup 7-Up

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Combine aboveingredients and beat 2minutes. Prepare aBundt pan (spray well)and pour mixture in.Bake 45-55 minutes.

Diana’s glazeDiane didn’t say if

she cooked the glaze,but I would assume thesugar has to melt, so I’dcook it over very lowheat until sugar melts.Add bourbon last.1⁄2 stick butter, meltedScant 2⁄3 cup sugar1⁄3 cup bourbon (or whatever,rum is good too)

Stir in bourbon. Prickholes in cake and pouron glaze.

Doris Poore’s 7-Upcake icing

Doris, a Kentuckyreader, had a recipeusing a cake mix andalso had an interestingicing. “The index card isall yellowed and stained.So, I know it’s a good

one,” she said.

2 eggs, beaten1 tablespoon flour1 cup crushed pineapple,undrained

11⁄2 cups sugar1 stick margarine1 cup coconut

Cook all ingredients(except coconut) untilthick, add coconut andpour over hot cake. Topwith pecans.

There is no better wayto learn history than fromthose who have livedthrough it andsixth-gradestudents at Mars HillAcademy in Mason hadthe opportunity of a life-timewhentheywherevis-ited by WWII era resi-dents from Twin LakesSenior Living Communityin Montgomery.

Sonja Stratman, a Hol-ocaust historian, sharedstories of her youth grow-ingupinNuremberg,Ger-many, and unknowinglybecame part of the HitlerYouth. Ed Thomas sharedstories of his time in theArmy and his participa-tion in the Battle of theBulge, and Roy Franchidiscussed how he sur-vived the London Blitz.

“These speakers werea great delight for ourclass,” Mars Hill sixth-grader teacher Joe Pers-ing said. “Their stories ofthe bombings of London,the Battle of the Bulge,and a Hitler-controlledGermany were riveting.They were all so kind totake the time to answerstudents’ questions. It iscritical for students to seethathistoryhasareal faceand a real story. Each

speaker provided an in-sight andperspective thatno textbook could cap-ture. My students werecaptivated by their sto-ries, and were comment-ing about their visits fordays afterward.”
