Symmes Township is consid-ering applying for a grant withLoveland andHamilton County.

The joint application to theOhio Public Works CommissionwouldbeforvariousprojectsonUnion Cemetery Road. Hamil-tonCountywouldworkondepthrepairs, including the drainage,reditching and adding a two-foot safety berm. Loveland’sportion of the work would in-clude making improvements tothe water lines under the road,

and then repav-ing when the re-pairs by thecounty are fin-ished, Adminis-trator Brian El-liff said.

The town-ship’s work isconcerned less

with the street than what isalong the side of it. The grantwould fund, with a townshipmatch, building sidewalks toconnect neighborhoods withother streets and parks.

The sidewalks would be in-

stalled on the north side ofUnionCemeteryRoad, connect-ing the short stretch on thewestside of Lebanon Road and thesection in front of HawthornWoodsCourt.After that section,there would be a crosswalk tothe south side of Union Ceme-tery, and the sidewalk wouldthen continue west to the Royalproperty, Board of TrusteesPresident Ken Bryant said.

If the application is granted,the townshipwouldberesponsi-ble for 10 percent of the side-walk’s construction, which isabout $4,300. It would also have

to pay the cost of engineering,about $9,000.

The trustees discussed thepossibility of extending thosesidewalks down to ThistlehillDrive, because itwould connectthosehomesandthestreetseastof it to the Meade property,Home of the Brave Park andSymmesTownshipParkonLeb-anon Road. However, Bryantsaid that theshort timingfor thegrant and the lack of right-of-way for the township to buildthem on makes it less likelyright now.

He added that sidewalks for

that section of Union Cemeteryisn’t off the table for the future.Thetrusteesdidn’tofficiallyap-prove applying for the grantwith the county and Loveland,but Bryant said it’s likely to beapproved at the next trustees’meeting on Oct. 1.

“We have to go through theformalities, but I can’t see whyanyone would oppose it,” hesaid.

BLUE ASH — It wasn’t Veter-ans Day or the Fourth of July,but the 10th Battalion of theArmy Reserve Careers Divi-sion filled the Blue Ash Veter-ans Memorial Sept. 5.

The unit was in town to con-duct its change-of-commandceremony – the first at the BlueAsh landmark – and althoughthe drive was more than onehour, the soldiers said it waswell worth it.

“It’s really a beautiful loca-tion,” said Sgt. 1st Class BillCsaszar, who planned the eventfor the battalion. “I have nevermet a community so willing toroll out the red carpet for us.”

Lt. Col. AmyMassaglia is re-tiring after more than 30 yearsin the Army and relinquishedcommand of the unit to Lt. Col.Christopher Henderson.

Henderson, a veteran of Op-erations Iraqi and EnduringFreedom, saidBlueAshwas theperfect location.

“You can definitely tell this

community supports the mili-tary and that always makes itnice to give back.”

Blue Ash councilmen RickBryan and Robert Buckman at-tended the ceremony.

“It’s an incredible honor forthe city to be able to host thischange of command,” said Bry-an, a retired Army lieutenantcolonel. “These are themen andwomen that make sure the mil-itary stays strong in reserve.”

BlueAsh Police planned por-tions of the event and alsohelped with security during theceremony.

Lt. Steve Schueler of theBAPD said his department was

prepared for anything thatmight happen.

“Unfortunately, today wehave to think about terrorismandthat takesa lotofmanpowerand planning,” Schueler said.“We planned for politicians tobe in attendance andwith some-thing like this, you have to planfor things like protests, whichfortunately didn’t happen.”

MONTGOMERY — Afamily owned business inMontgomery is aboutmore than delivering apremium product to itsconsumers.

Mt. Kofinas Olive Oil isalso preserving the familyheritage and hoping tobring culture to GreaterCincinnati.

“My great grandfatherplanted the olive trees inCrete 80 years ago,” saidNick Semertzides, salesandoperationsmanageratMt. Kofinas.

Semertzides and hiswife Elini Androulaki runthe store just off Montgo-mery Road where they

takepressedoliveoil froma village cooperative inCrete, Greece, and infuseit herbs and other flavorsthrough a multiple-monthprocess. The family busi-ness opened in 2010 andhas grown into a retail op-eration reaching 11 farm-ers markets and severalspecialty grocers aroundCincinnati.

The decision to open upfor retail and expand theirbusiness was motivatedby the poor economy inGreece.

“Before, it wasmore ofa hobby,” Semertzidessaid. “The problem wasthe way the economy wasin Greece, the sale price(of olive oil) went waydown and there wasn’tenough money to waterthe trees.”

Business has been verygood for the small shop –Semertzidessaysthestoresold all the olive oil madelast year andhas grown45percent over the last year.

The reason for the suc-cess, Semertzides said, is

simple.Mt. Kofinas offerspure olive oil infused withreal herbs and flavors youcan’t find on the shelf in alargegrocer.WhenbuyingatMt. Kofinas, each bottleis filled to order depend-ing on customers’ prefer-enceandsealedat the timeof purchase.

“People come here andwe bottle the olive oil infrontofthem,”Androulakisaid. “It’s important be-cause they have to knowthat we don’t buy oil fromlargemanufacturers.”

Over time, the familyhopes to bring the cultureof olive growing, pressingand the health benefits as-sociatedwithusingpremi-um olive oil to cook with,Androulaki said.

“There is a whole cul-ture behind it,” Androula-ki said. “We want to sharethat culture, not just bringolive oil here.”

The success of the shopmeans the family’s olivetradition is not only se-cure, but thriving. Ifthings go according to

plan, Mt. Kofinas willserve more of GreaterCincinnati in the near fu-ture. Androulaki saidplansare inplaceforasec-ond location to open soon.

Engel recently attended a

workshop on DyKnow, an inter-active learning software forteachers.

She said this software pro-vides her with quick and easyaccess to a student’s computerscreen.

“If I see errors (on an assign-ment) I can correct them rightaway,” she said. “I can also do ascreengrab to showanexampleof a great piece of work.”

Engel said she would beginusing DyKnow is the classroomthis school year.

Engel said one of the mostimportantaspectsofusingtech-nology in the classroom is pre-paring the students for theircollege and university experi-ence.

KENWOOD — Most wide re-ceiverswhocatch30passes for358yards and four touchdownsas a junior would probablyspend the following summercatching more to be sharp fortheir senior year.

Not Moeller High School’sGus Ragland. After his inningson the mound ended as a pitch-er for Moeller’s Division Ichampionship baseball squad,Ragland was off to footballcamps to play without receiv-ing gloves.

Though he had outstanding

year on Moeller’s state titlefootball game receivingpasses, he’s been throwingthem since he was in the firstgrade. His first two years as aCrusader were also spent atquarterback.

Because Moeller had Spen-cer Iacovone back, coach JohnRodenbergmoved the 6-foot-3,200-pound Ragland to wideoutfor his junior year.

“It was a lot different,” Rag-land said. “There’s a lot more

responsibility at quarterback.Playing receiver was enjoy-able. It helped me understandmy receivers a little bit more.”

For the Crusaders coachingstaff, moving Ragland backsimplified their 2013 offense.Like a chess board, Moellermoved their pieces.

The blue and gold reloadedwith No. 14 at quarterback,speedsters Chase Pankey andIsaiahGentry at receiver and a6-foot-5 Jake Hausmann, wholooks like your prototypicalMoeller rugged tight end.

“We thought going into thisyear that Gus was very similarto Spencer (Iacovone) so we

knew we could keep the samescheme,” Rodenberg said. “Weknew he needed a little bit ofexperience throwing the foot-ball, but he’s a leader and aleader in the school.”

Thus far, Pankey, Gentry,seniors JackGruber and JamieRieger and the sophomore

Moeller senior quarterback Gus Ragland throws for a touchdown against Covington Catholic Sept. 7.GREG LORING/FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

SYCAMORE TWP. — The manwho drives the Sycamore HighSchool girls golf team fromvenue to venue will have themparked and ready to putt andpitch at Weatherwax Sept. 17.

Veteran coach Keith Brack-enridge is the driver in chargeof the Lady Ave drivers, irons,wedges and putters. He is theman with the plan and the van.

Once the chauffeur/coachgets his girls to the first tee ofthe Greater Miami Conferencetournament at Weatherwax,he’ll be trying to steer themtoawin over arch-rivalMason. TheLady Comets have already out-clubbed Sycamore once.

“Mason is certainly the topcompetition in the league,”Brackenridge said. “We lost tothembynineduring theseason.We were with them almost allnine, but we had one bad hole.We’ll have to play really well tobeat them in the league meet.”

Leading the way for Syca-more is sophomore Kellen Al-sip.

“She’s been doing good,”Brackenridge said. “You’reusually oneof the topplayers inthe city if you shoot under 40and she’s right there. She wasgood last year, but she’s gotten

noticeably better in the yearsince.”

At presstime, Alsip’s aver-

age was 39.88, putting herfourth in the GMC behind twoMason golfers and Courtney

Piatt of Fairfield.“She’s very good with the

longer irons,” Brackenridgesaid of his topSycamore swing-er. “She’s also improved herputting and her chipping to thegreens. She’s taken about twoand a half shots after her aver-age from last year.”

Brackenridge has three La-dyAves in the league’s top 20 inAlsip, junior Hannah Brownand senior Caitlin Guy. Brownhas been medalist once thisyearandGuyhas improvedhergame since her junior year.

“She’s been a pleasant sur-prise and has taken two shotsoff of her average from lastyear,” Brackenridge said.

The rest of Sycamore’s sev-enhaveallmovedupfromwhatwas a very competitive juniorvarsity squad. Seniors Stepha-nieKley andAmyKohmescherare the veterans, while MayaOutlaw and Hannah Zelden-stein are only sophomores.

The 2011 GMC golfer of theyear, Hanna Lee, moved awayafter that season, but movedback last year. She was ineligi-ble in 2012, but hasn’t beencleared to play this season.

“I’m still hoping to get herback sometime,”Brackenridgesaid. “She hurt herself on the

SYMMES TWP. — Thefeet never stop moving -somuchsothatCincinnatiHills Christian Academysenior soccer forwardEvan Glaser currentlykeeps them enclosed in apair of two-year-old elec-tric orange Adidas Preda-tor cleats.

“It’s all about the teamand all about where I canbe on the field to help,” hesaid. “If it’s up top or inthemidfieldor in thebackthird, I’m always going.”

But why the old kicks?Because he’s wornthrough twootherpairsofshoes in the last year. ThePredators - which Glasersaid were not an inten-tionalmatch for his close-croppeddarkgingerhair -still hadsome life in them.

Glaser himself hasfound new life on thepitch for the Eagles.

“Evan has been a workin progress for us the lastfew years,” said first-year head coach BryanDaniel. “He had alwaysbeen a score-first player.This year, he’s looking todistribute the ball more.

“He’s so much morevaluable to us when helooks for his teammates.He can help orchestrateand build our attack. Tosee him embrace that hasbeen pretty exciting.”

Which isn’t to say Gla-ser doesn’t put the ball inthenet.The5-foot-10WestChester resident led histeam and was 10th in theMiami Valley Conferencein scoring through Sept.12. It’s just that he has anequal number of assists togo with the goals.

“Every single momentI spend out here is amem-orable moment,” he said.“When I look around thepeople I’m playing with -guys I’ve known 10 to 13years - I enjoy it. To seethe joy when they get agoal or make a stop or a

great pass, thatmakesmehappy.”

Glaser began playingsoccer at age 3. This falllikely will be his last sea-son as a competitive play-er. He plans follow in thefootsteps of his parents -Lynn and Robyn - and be-come a mechanical engi-neer, studying at the Uni-versity of Cincinnati.

“Itwillbeverytoughtogive up,” he said. “I’vespent so many years, somuch time playing soc-cer. The moments wehave out here, the fun wehave, I’ll miss that. Butengineering is a toughmajor and I have to focuson that. I will probablyplay some intramural forfun.”

For now, though, thefun lies focusing on histeammates and watchinghis sophomore brotherKeaton - adefenderon theCHCA JV team - developas a player.

“I’d tell him to never

give up,” Evan said of hislittle brother. “I’d tell himwhat my dad always toldme. ‘Whether you thinkyou can or you think youcan’t, you’re probablyright.’ I don’t knowwhosequote that it, but it’s true.You have to keep a goodattitude.”

Daniel appreciates thisaspect.

“The sacrificial aspectof the game,” he called it.“Playing a position youmightnot likefor thegoodof he team. Making thatrun full speed whenyou’re dead tired. Doingthings the right way.

“These selfless actshave started to comeeasi-er for us. Our guys havebought in. They legiti-mately likeeachother, en-joy each others’ company.They’d go through a wallfor each other. That unity,that trust in one another,is starting to show on thefield.”

Cincinnati HillsChristian Academygraduate John Lloydtrotted onto the field atNippert Stadium, boot-

ed hisfirst col-legiatepunt 41yards andpinnedPurdueUniver-sity on itsown 12-yard-line

Aug. 31.Lloyd played behind

all-Big East punter Pat-rick O’Donnell the lasttwo years. He turneddown a scholarship toone of UC’s biggest ri-vals to play for hishometown school.

“Louisville actuallyoffered me (a scholar-ship),” said Lloyd, anEvendale resident. “Andthere were some otherschools in themix. I wasalso looking at Michi-gan, a couple MACschools, N. C. St. andTexas A & M, but thiswas home for me.”

After standing on thesideline with his helmetin his hand for two sea-sons, Lloydwas asked torecall his thoughts as hetrotted on the field tomake his first collegepunt on Saturday after-noon.

“It was great,” hesaid. “Honestly, it was alittle bit of a blur. It wasexactly how I thought itwould be, and I was hap-

py to get the chance. Allthe cards fell in the rightplaces. I’ve been work-inghardall summer, andSam (Geraci) has beenpushing me, so I thinkthat helped a lot.”

Lloyd follows someexcellent punters at UC,including Kevin Huberof the Bengals. Hereadily admits he needsto be more consistent,but when he hits the ballwell, it flies off his legand the redshirt junioris happy to be on thefield.

Lloyd played a varie-ty of positions at CHCA.

“I played all over,” hesaid. “I also played sometight end and back-upquarterback. I did a lit-tle bit of everything.”

“With the talent wehaveatwidereceiver,wefeelwecangodeepa lot,”Ragland said. “It was agreat play call. I wentback and let the ball goand my teammate madea great play.”

Ragland followed that

with a dismantling of Co-vington Catholic going20-25 for a pair of touch-downs.

“We took an approachwhere we were workingon our pass game allweek,” Ragland said.“We went out and letloose. We’re just tryingto get better at littlethings every week.”

Sims does it all fortownship

The fiscal officer race inSymmes Township affects allresidents andwarrants your at-tention.

Fiscal Officer Carol Simshas 24 years experience as as-sistant fiscal officer. Sheworksclosely with township trusteesand citizen committees – fi-nance, zoning, planning, etc ...Sims averages 30 hours eachweek overseeing the financialsof Symmes. Everything fromplanning the 2014 $8.5 millionbudget, filing state mandatedreports, payroll. She does it all.The more I learn about the FOposition, the more impressed Iam with Sims’ expertise.

Sims’ list of endorsements is

telling. Trustees, former fiscalofficer, committee members,civic group officers, citizenshave all worked with Carol andknow she is the person to con-tinue the traditionofexcellenceresidents expect.

Carol is engaged in the com-munity, serving the HistoricalSociety and neighborhood civicassociation. Residents like Car-ol make Symmes a great placeto live.

That lastpoint is crucial.Theother candidate has not madean effort to get to knowSymmes. He has scheduledfundraisers for his campaigndowntown.Hehasn’t attendedatrustee meeting over the lastyear to familiarize himselfwiththe business of the township.

Weneed the professionalism

and commitment to communityexemplified by Carol Sims.

Berger leaves legacy intownship

Wilma Berger servedSymmes Township from 1980through 1985, first as the town-ship clerk (now known as fiscalofficer) and then as trustee.Wilma passed away Sept. 7 andI just wanted the residents ofSymmes Township to be awareof her passing.

There are many residentswho are new to our communityand did not have a chance toknow Wilma. There are manymore who did knew her. Shewas responsible for my start

with Symmes Township in 1989and it was her guidance andknowledge of Township gov-ernment that made me under-standwhat itmeans to be a pub-lic servant.

Wilma Berger was alwayslooking out for what was bestfor our community and contrib-uted significantly to the town-ship’s effort to maintain aplanned, balanced and orderlygrowth of residential and com-mercial development which isthe foundation for SymmesTownship as we know it today.Shewas instrumental in the siteacquisition and development ofour first park onLebanonRoad.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Most observers are con-vinced that Assad has usedchemical nerve poisons Syriancivilians. This is akin to theopening of a modern Pandora’sBox.

Today, inside this Box, onceconfined toMediterraneanmythology, are weapons ofmass destruction such as atom-ic, biological and chemicalarms. While there is doubt as toatomic/nuclear weapons, it iscertain that Syria has largestockpiles of chemical armsand the capacity to makemore.

Nowwe are once againfaced with the reality of theopening of Pandora’s Box inanger, perhaps also in desper-ation, but unleashed neverthe-

less to horrificeffect. But asZeus firstpacked all theworld’sscourges andevils into a boxas a not-to-be-opened gift toPandora, inev-itably the boxfrom time totime has been

opened.The story goes that even the

gods grew so tired of the eviland got sick of the sufferingcaused by the opening of Pan-dora’s Box that they debatedthe annihilation of the entirehuman race. The best method

was thought to be uncommonfire started by thunderboltsfrom the sky. However, Zeuswas restrained by another’sargument that the all-consum-ing flamesmight set fire to hisown backyard thereby reduc-ing the magnificence ofMountOlympus to hot ash.

The 21st century paradox isthat because of the experienceof the terrible wars of the lastcentury, weapons of mass de-struction are so deadly that onewould have to think very hardabout using them in anger,especially when the other sidealso has such weapons.

The world survived the ColdWar for the simple reason thatthe United States and the Soviet

Union were rationale decision-makers. But what about anirrational tyrant or a madmanwho thinks nothing of his owndestruction? Or a desperate onefacing a nothing-more-to-losesituation?

Another happier version ofPandora’s Box is that knowingthat her uncontrollable urgeswould guarantee their release,another deity also slipped Hopeinto the box, and it was re-leased as well. The Hope today,is that the leading nations of theworld, all of whom have agreedthrough international conven-tion to the elimination of chem-ical and biological weapons(and the limitation of nucleararms as well) will come togeth-

er and agree on a feasible anddetermined plan to not only getthe evil back into the box butforever nail it shut so that nonemay be able to open it again.

Postscript: Chemical nerveagents, a redesigned version ofmodern organophosphate in-secticides, can be permanentlydestroyed by thermal or chem-ical treatment. While the con-trol technology has been knownsince the creation of such hid-eous chemicals, the safe de-ployment of such processes,especially under battlefieldconditions, is tedious andmustbe carefully performed.

CharlestonC.K. WangCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Sept. 11 questionShould local high schoolshave

American Indian nicknames oruse American Indian mascots.Why or why not?

“I wish to strongly and une-quivocally speak against theuse of Native American nick-names and mascots for localhigh school football teams; or,for that matter, in any other in-appropriate context. While Ilove my country, I cannot helpbut be ashamed and saddenedat the treatment Native Ameri-cans have received at the handsof our government. Their sys-tematic physical displacement,or wholesale elimination, wasdone solely in the interest ofland acquisition, monetarygain, and power attainment. Inthispresentday, it ismyopinionwe thatwe owe themaheartfeltapology. Thus, our use of nick-names and mascots at their ex-pense serves only to fortify ourperception of superiority; and,is tantamount to mockery. Ican’t help but wonder how theyfelt about illegal immigration.”

JAL

“The use ofAmerican Indianmascots never used to be a con-cern. Miami University at Ox-ford changed from Redskins toRedHawks in1997. Somehow ithadbeenOKfrom1888 till then.I think if there is a largepopula-tion of Native Americans locat-ed in the area of a school theyshouldhaveasayonthismatter.E.G the Florida State Univer-sity polled the local NativeAmericanswho had no problemwith the moniker of Seminoles.I am quite suremost names arefine with Native Americans.

However the term Redskinsdoes seem to cause some con-cern for theNFLTeam inWash-ingtonandshouldbere-evaluat-ed. I can only hope the Reds arenot asked to change their moni-ker from Reds because it de-notes WWII communists. Nowwhat to do about those Cleve-land Glenville Tarblooders? Gofigure!”

T.D.T.

“No,AmericanIndiannamesshould not be used by schools.Why? Because they don’t wantus to use their names, just likeBlacks don’t want certainnames used for them, Italiansdon’t want certain names used,and so forth.

“It’s not for us to decide. Wehave to respect their wishes.”

MHH

“This is a simplequestion forme. I have a deep respect andaffection for Native Ameri-cans. I have lived near reserva-tions, had Native Americanfriends and learned about theculture and the present daychallenges.

“However, I had a child thatgraduated from Anderson(Redskins) High School andspent many times on football

and baseball fields yelling “Go,Redskins!” It seems to me thatthere are so many names in theEnglish dictionary that certain-ly everyhigh school andcollegein this country could select anon-NativeAmericannameandbuild loyalty and competitionaround it.

“In business and even non-profit organizations, nameschange all the time. It can befun to celebrate a new name.Let’s support our schools in de-veloping new names that don’tdisrespect Native Americantribes and culture.”

E.E.C.

“Only school teams locatedon reservation lands should beallowed to use traditional Na-tive American names. MiamiUniversity even changed itsmascot to Redhawks some timeago for this reason.

“American settlers and sol-diers stole the whole continentfrom Native Americans; it isn’ttoo much to ask to allow nativepeople the cultural dignity ofchanging offensive, stereotypi-cal names.

“Peoplewill try to argue thatanewnamedoesn’t reflectheri-tage accurately; well, that’s thesame argument used by racistsin the South who preserve theConfederate flag.”

TRog

“Syria, Common Core, Oba-maCare, Quantitative Easing,Benghazi, Hillary 2016 ... Thinkthecountryhasmore importantthings to worry about. Go Red-skins!”

L.D.

“I think you are referring to

the Anderson Redskins. YES, Ithink this tradition should con-tinuemainly because this is theschool’s chosen name and mas-cot from many years ago. Ifsome are offended ... that islife!”

Otto Roth

“Native American nick-names and mascots have beenaround for at least a century.Whenanyschoolchoosesamas-cot the choice is always madefor persons or objects that areeasily recognized as symbolsfor qualities to be admired andemulated. Native Americansare no exception whether theyare Seminoles, Braves, Red-skins,Warriors, Illini, Eskimos,Indians, Blackhawks, Aztecs,etc.

“According to personal on-line research several years ago,the only opposition comes froma small modern activist groupknown to pressure schools,teams and similar organiza-tions with their only goal beingtheir acceptance of large sumsof money to be quiet and goaway.

“So far I have never heard ofa school choosing to be knownas the Fighting Boneheads orOhio Birdbrains. Would blacksbe offended if a school chose tobeknownas theFreedomFight-ers? Are churches offended bythe New Orleans Saints? Howabout the Fighting Irish?”

R.V.

“Our society is becoming toopoliticallycorrect andover sen-sitive. I am not sure why it is soderogatory to use the Indian asa mascot- strength, bravery,athleticism, etc.

“None of these terms sug-gest weakness, failure orshame. Yet if we use anythingother than an inanimate objector an animal we run the risk ofoffending someone.

“Reminds me of the publicgrade school my kids went to inanother large city – we couldn’tcelebrate St. Patrick’s Day inschool unless it was referred toas Green Day. No Christmasparty just a red and green holi-day party.

“Geez, give me a flippin’break!!!Get a life.Wecan’t pro-tect our kids from everythingone might find offensive, alienor not of their custom.

“Life is, after all, terminal –no one gets out alive. Deal withit.”

T.J.

“Yes, until they get rid of theWashington Redskins orchange IndianHill toRedHawkMountain!”

D.J.H.

“Disrespect to American In-dians for sure. Butmore impor-tantly, this is the vital questionof the week from the new nearmonopoly of the papers in Cler-mont? You have got to be kid-ding.

“Howabout this: Is it treasonto collaborate on InaugurationDaytobringdownthepresiden-cy(showdisrespect)of thenew-lyelectedblackpresident? Isaydarn close.

“But like American Indians,Obama earned his disrespectbybeingborn, unlikeBush,whoearned his by his now reviledactions. I know I’ll never seethis comment in the paper.”

Firehouse Grill announces winnersof ‘Battle of the Local Craft Beers’

For years it was like agray culinary cloud overmy head. I called it piecrust envy. Mymomwasthe first to try to teachme to make a flaky andtender pie crust. “Justdon’t overwork the

dough, usea lighthand,” shetold me. Atthe time Iread some-thing in acookbookthat said“work theshorteninginto theflour until

it’s all the size of smallpeas.” So I tried to do justthat. The crust rolled outeasily and I baked what Ithought was the mostbeautiful apple pie in theworld.

I took it to our churchkitchen for bingo and I’llnever forget the look onRuth Haglage’s face asshe tried to cut into thecrust. She sawed andsawed at that crust andfinally broke through. Iwas so embarrassed.Ruth knew I was a novicepie baker and told me notto worry, that the fillingwas delicious and thecrust was OK.

After that disaster,every time I made piecrust by hand I was filledwith anxiety. Then I metPerrin Rountree. Perrinis an Anderson Townshipreader and excellentSouthern cook and baker.She worked with me atmy cooking school atMcAlpin’s. Perrin sharedher recipe for pie crustwith a secret ingredient.That was years ago andthe crust has never letme down. Nomore piecrust envy!

Perrin Rountree’sno-fail pie crust

You’ll think you’re incooking class with thesedetailed instructions, butthey are worth following.

2 cups all-purpose flour1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder(the secret ingredient)

1⁄4 teaspoon salt1 cup Crisco shortening,chilled (I use Crisco sticks)

1⁄2 cup ice cold water

Whisk together dryingredients. Cut short-ening into 1⁄2-inch pieces.Scatter over flour mix-ture and, using a fork orpastry blender, cut short-ening into flour untilmixture resemblescoarse crumbs with somelarge pieces remaining(about the size of peas –yes, it will work!). This iswhat will give you flaki-ness. Sprinkle half thecold water over and stirand draw flour with forkfrom bottom to top, dis-tributing water evenly.Addmore water untildough is moist enough tohold together when youroll a little bit into a ball.

I usually use up all thewater. Divide in half andshape into two balls. Flat-ten balls into round disks.I like to refrigeratedough anywhere from 30minutes to overnight, butthat’s not necessary. (Youcan also freeze the doughfor a couple of months,thawing in refrigeratorbefore using). Roll out onlightly floured surfacefrom center out. I sprin-kle a bit of flour on top ofthe dough so it doesn’tstick to the rolling pin, oryou can skip flour androll it out between wax orparchment paper. Rollinto a circle inches widerthan pie plate.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Yes, you can use thefood processor, too. Justuse the pulse button.

Rita’s pecan pieI use dark corn syrup.

Light corn syrup gives a“softer” flavor. Check outmy blog for chocolatepecan pie.

Crust for one pie

3 large eggs, beaten untilfoamy

1 cup sugar2 tablespoons butter,melted

1 cup corn syrup, dark orlight

11⁄2 teaspoons vanilla1 heaping cup pecans,halved or chopped

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Beat eggs, sug-ar, butter, syrup and va-nilla well with whisk. Stirin nuts. Pour into crust.Bake 45-55 minutes oruntil toothpick inserted incenter comes out fairlyclean. Check after 45minutes. Pie will be

puffed and golden andjiggle a bit in the centerbut that’s OK. Cool acouple of hours beforeserving.
