The final development planfor the Kroger expansion hasthe green light from the Ander-son Zoning Commission.

The commission approvedthe final development plan dur-ing its Feb. 23 meeting with theconditions that a sidewalk beadded on both sides of the newentrance across from ArlingtonAvenue, and a new lighting planmust be submitted, according toplanner Allison Hodson.

Additionally, the commissionapproved requests for FreshThyme grocery store and theTowne Center’s constructionplans.

Fresh Thyme will be a newbusiness for the township and isplanning to open at 7910 Beech-mont Ave., at the Fitworks loca-tion, Hodson said. The develop-er plans to make alterations tothe parking lot and to make anaddition to the existing build-ing.

The commission approvedthe PUD request with severalconditions, she said. The devel-oper must add bike racks andlandscaping to all of the parkinglot islands to meet current re-quirements, replant the treesalong Beechmont Avenue inconjunction with any Ohio De-partment of Transportationwork at the entrance, and sig-nage/striping must be added for

truck traffic within the parkinglot. A variance was granted forthe entire site to have parkingspaces less than the requirednumber.

The Towne Center’s applica-tion for the movie theater andnew retail stores (another PUD)was approved with the condi-tions that they resubmit a light-ing plan that meets brightnessstandards, they provide fundsfor a future sidewalk alongTowne Center Way, and thatthey work with staff to revisethe rear elevation of the movietheater building to meet designguidelines, Hodson said.

A controversial East Sidetransportation project may beon life support after state law-makers introduced legislationcalling for taxpayer money tobe completely cut off for theEastern Corridor.

By this week, most of the pro-ject could be dead – ending dec-ades of bureaucratic wheel-spinning on a massive plan envi-sioned to make travel safer andless congested across easternHamilton County and westernClermont County.

State Rep. Tom Brinkman, R-Mount Lookout, led efforts toget an Eastern Corridor-killingamendment introduced as partof the state’s new transporta-tion bill. The House will havethe final say after the financecommittee continues to vet theproposal Wednesday andThursday.

“The citizens don’t want it,”Brinkman said. “We’ve wastedenough time and money on it.”

Rep. Denise Driehaus, D-Clifton, said to expect a battle inthe Legislature over this.

The multiphase Eastern Cor-ridor project, estimated to costmore than $1 billion, is plaguedby a lack of consensus and alack money. Most of the hand-wringing over project has cen-tered on a $366 million plan torelocate Ohio 32 through New-town and Mariemont.

Both neighborhoods havefought the proposal in recentyears, and community leadersview Brinkman’s proposal as avictory.

“This is wonderful news,”Mariemont Mayor Dan Policas-tro said. “But I’m not going toget complacent. We’re going tostay after this to make sure itnever comes up again.”

Not everyone is happy with

Brinkman’s proposal, which fo-cuses on stopping spending onthe relocation of Ohio 32.

Hamilton County Commis-sioner Todd Portune has workedfor several years to try to movethe Eastern Corridor projectforward.

“This is Tom Brinkman iswhat this is,” Portune said. “Itdoesn’t surprise me at all. I don’tsee that this has any broad sup-port, based on my conversa-tions with state lawmakers.People get it. They see the eco-nomic benefit. They see thetransportation benefit.”

Stopping the project now,

Portune added, “will cost thecounty and Cincinnati hundredsof millions in new economic de-velopment and the loss of jobs.”

The project also has long hadthe support of many ClermontCounty leaders and residentswho would like a more directroute to the downtown jobs cen-ter.

While this action does not di-rectly impact Anderson Town-ship, Board of Trustees Presi-dent Russ Jackson said that thetownship has been in the middleof the Eastern Corridor projectfor many years. Not because thetownship necessarily had a

strong desire for it but becauseit wanted to protect the inter-ests of its residents.

“As it proceeded we couldsee minimal impact to Ander-son,” he said. The most impor-tant thing for Anderson was andremains the access road to thetownship’s Ancor area.

“We know we can build thatwhether the corridor is com-pleted or not,” he said.

Township staff members areexploring the possibility ofbuilding a connector road to theAncor area. As envisioned, theroad would connect BroadwellRoad to US 32 at a yet to be de-

termined location.The Eastern Corridor has

five major phases that call for anew roadway, rail transit, high-way interchange, bike lanes androadway improvements. Some$22 million has been spent orcommitted on three phases thatmany neighborhoods either op-pose or are indifferent toward –Ohio 32 relocation ($14 million),Red Bank Road expansion ($3.6million) and Oasis commuterrail ($4.4 million).

Transportation’s advisorycouncil, which helps prio-ritize project funding, hasapproved spending anoth-er $9.8 million in 2016 forthe Ohio 32 relocation.That’s more incrementalmoney for a project that

has been studied or debat-ed off and on for morefour decades, and Brink-man said enough isenough.

“In 1999 – when I firstran for office – I support-ed the project,” saidBrinkman, who made kill-ing the project a top cam-paign priority last year.“But it’s too late now.There have been golf

courses built; churchesbuilt; a super Wal-Martbuilt. The project is nolonger viable, and I amrepresenting constituentswho say, ‘We don’t want totear down our communi-ties.’”

Some parts of the pro-ject are fully funded andwill move forward, main-ly the $71.4 million over-haul of the interchange atIntestate 275 and Ohio 32in Eastgate.

Also, efforts by Cincin-nati city officials and EastSide residents to convertpart of a railway betweenDowntown and LunkenAirport into a bike trailare not connected to theenvisioned plan for theEastern Corridor. Theproposed trail, however,does run along the Oasisline that’s envisioned forpassenger rail.

Neither are the focusof Brinkman’s efforts.Overall, supporters ofEastern Corridor haven’tprioritized most phases ofthe project well, Brink-man said.

“They got stuck on thiswhole multimodal thing,”Brinkman said. “It was al-most too far of a reach,and that wasted time. Sonow we’ve poured $22 mil-lion into this and the prior-ity still hasn’t been (deter-mined). If everything’s apriority, then nothing is apriority.”

Plans call for a park-way-style road to be builtconnecting from the East-gate area through the Lit-tle Miami River valley inNewtown and Mariemontand connect to Red BankRoad in Fairfax.

Mariemont has op-posed the Ohio 32 reloca-tion because it is proposedto cut through a park andhistoric land near the riv-er. Newtown is against theroadway relocation be-cause the plan calls forbypassing the village’sdowntown area, and com-munity leaders fear itwould cripple small busi-

nesses and deplete the taxbase.

Madisonville leadersalso have fought the planto expand Red Bank Ex-pressway.

They contend it wouldserve as more of a bypassto the neighborhood andwould hurt redevelop-ment efforts.

Corridor Continued from Page A1

LOCAL REACTIONPrencis Wilson, a board member of the Madi-

sonville Community Council, said she would not bedisappointed if the corridor project dissolved.

“Those decisions were all made by someone thatdid not live in the area,” she said.

Madisonville has had a number of meetings thelast few years to discuss the project.

Many of the residents and business owners hadconcerns about changes to Red Bank Road, whichwere part of the plan. The speed limit along RedBank would also have been increased.

“People would simply pass by Madisonville, and wewouldn’t have any visitors. Madisonville would nothave been (a) destination point.”

Wilson said she feels the proposed legislation willhave a significant impact.

“I hope it kills the whole plan,” she said.Bob Igoe, vice president of the Madisonville Com-

munity Council, likewise said he had concerns withthe Eastern Corridor plan.

“I think if people step back and look at the project,they see there is no return on (the) investment,” hesaid. “The Eastern Corridor model was an outdatedmodel that supported suburban sprawl.”

Igoe said even if the project dissolves, any impactupon Madisonville would be minimal.

“The things the community wanted to have done,the city can move on independently,” he said.

Igie said projects that may have been associatedwith the Eastern Corridor plan such as adding walk-ways and reconnecting some of the side streets toRed Bank Road can still be accomplished. “It’s time tomove on to more contemporary plans that fit moreinto the communities (these plans) are serving,” Igoesaid.

“We certainly hope the Eastern Corridor Project isdead, as it is not wanted in Newtown and the moneycould be better spent on repairing existing roads andthe Brent Spence Bridge,” Newtown Village Council-man Mark Kobasuk said.

“State Rep. Tom Brinkman Jr. (R-Cincinnati) is try-ing to cut off funding for the Eastern Corridor Projectin Columbus and he needs our help.

“Newtown residents need to support his effortsand email or call State Sen. Shannon Jones (R-Clear-creek Township) and let her know that the EasternCorridor Project is opposed by an overwhelmingmajority of Newtown residents,” Kobasuk said.

Reporters Jeanne Houck, Forrest Sellers and Sheila Vilvenscontributed.

Juilfs Park play-ground is about to be-come even bigger andbetter with the additionof a water play area.

Anderson TownshipPark District was se-lected for a Nature-Works grant for $63,520which will help coverthe total $123,058 play-ground expansion cost.The grant is still pend-ing State of Ohio Con-trolling Board approvalof the NatureWorksgrants. Additional fund-ing is being provided byJuilfs Foundation andthe Anderson Founda-tion for Parks and Rec-reation, said Parks Ex-ecutive Director KenKushner. Work on thewater play area will notbegin until 2016

The popular JuilfsPark playground firstopened in 2013, Kushn-er said. The playgroundarea has always been aphased project with thelast phase being the wa-ter play area.

When finished thewater play area will besimilar to the spray-ground in Beech Acres,Kushner said. “Itsprays just enough wa-ter to get wet,” he said.

Kushner said thatthe playground for Kel-logg Park will be fin-ished this year. Amatching grant ofabout $35,000 receivedin late 2013 is helping tocover the cost of thisproject. That will leaveJohnson Hills and ClearCreek Parks as the onlyAnderson Parks with-out playgrounds, notedAssistant Parks Direc-tor Emily Armstrong.

Scott Mautz of Ander-son Township is about tobecome a published authorwhen his book, “Make ItMatter: How ManagersCan Motivate by CreatingMeaning,” has its Cincin-nati launch at 7 p.m.Wednesday, March 4, at Jo-seph-Beth Booksellers inRookwood. Mautz will dis-cuss his book and do sign-ings.

Studies have shown acrisis of disengagement intoday’s workplace. Withmore than 20 years inbrand leadership, Mautzbelieves creating meaningat work is the antidote. Inhis book, Mautz shares hissecret to meaning-makingleadership.

“‘Make It Matter’

should mat-ter to any-one whomanagesother peo-ple in anykind ofbusiness,”said novel-

ist James Patterson, whoholds the Guinness recordfor the most No. 1 NewYork Times bestsellers ofany author, and who alsoserved as CEO of JWTNorth America. “The ideaswithin were key for mewhen I was running J. Wal-ter Thompson NorthAmerica - only I hadn’tthought it through nearlyas clearly as Scott Mautz.”

Mautz believes mean-ing is the motivational

tour-de-force that canbreak through today’s dis-engaged workplace, andthat connecting employ-ees to a sense of meaningin their work motivatessustained productivity.

Using behavioral andsociological research, dataanalysis, inspirational sto-ries and practical tools,“Make it Matter” demon-strates how to unleashmeaning in the workplace.It explains how to identify,articulate and pursue one’spurpose and legacythrough work. Readerswill learn how to createfulfilling work environ-ments for themselves andothers by creating “Mark-ers of Meaning.”

“I have long believedthat creating a sense ofmeaning and purpose andthat recognizing that ‘ev-eryone counts’ are funda-mental for breakthroughperformance,” said JohnE. Pepper, Jr., formerchairman and CEO ofProcter & Gamble and for-mer chairman of theBoard of Walt Disney.“Scott Mautz validatesthese beliefs based onpractical marketplace ex-perience and goes on toshow the reader how toachieve these outcomes inhis or her own organiza-tion.”

“Scott Mautz is one ofthe most effective and in-spiring leaders I’ve everknown,” said Paul Smith,author of “Lead with a Sto-ry” and “Parenting with aStory.” “In “Make It Mat-ter” he shares an astound-ing concept – and providesmore than 35 powerfultools – for creating motiva-tion, fulfillment, and peakperformance that sus-tains.”

Wilson ElementaryStudents at Wilson Ele-

mentary chewed gum to helpanimals as part of NationalBubble Gum Day and a recentclass study on Cincinnati non-profit organizations.

As part of the project, third-grade students in Leslie Gatesand Andrea Hyden’s classeswrote opinion pieces focusingon reasons Wilson studentsshould help local organizations.The students then voted on onelocal nonprofit they shouldhelp via a service project.After all the votes had beentallied, the classes chose the“Living Creatures AnimalSanctuary,” a nonprofit organi-zation that helps animals thathave been abandoned.

Ellie Chamberlain, a third-grader, wrote the piece thatconvinced students to donateto the sanctuary.

“It was a great project be-cause I like animals and have adog, Charlie, and guinea pig,Josie, at home. It’s also prettycool to chew gum in school,”said Ellie.

The event happened onNational Bubble Gum Day. Allstudents at Wilson were able tochew gum (or have a smalltreat) for a 50 cent donation.

All money raised - morethan $550 - will be donated tothe Living Creatures AnimalSanctuary to help animals thathave been rescued by this localnonprofit organization.

MARCH 4, 2015 • FOREST HILLS JOURNAL • A7NEWS

I had to laugh when BillThomas of BBQ Review res-taurant in Madisonvilleagreed to share the recipe forhis iconic mac & cheese.

I heard Bill was closing hisrestaurant (but keeping therailroad dining car adjacent tothe property) so I gave him acall. Already I had severalrequests from readers whowere addicted to his mac &cheese and who asked me toget the recipe.

To give you a bit of history,Bill and I started out our culi-nary adventures about thesame time way back when.

Fast forwardsome 30-plusyears lateryears later andnow Bill wants“to take it easy.”

When I toldhim about myreaders whocan’t exist hap-pily without hismac & cheese,Bill said “I’ll

share, no problem, but itstarts with 18 pounds macaro-ni, 20 pounds of cheese, andmakes 120 pounds and no, Iwon’t even try to break it

down!” OK then...well I fid-dled with it and came up witha good recipe hopefully closeto Bill’s. I even followed histechnique for cooking themacaroni and the cheesesauce.

I served this to my family,and I never saw a bowl of mac& cheese eaten so fast. I hopeyou like it as much as we do.

BBQ Review dishes out addictingmacaroni and cheese recipe

Clone of BBQ Review’s famous mac & cheese

If you want it “cheesier” add more cheese. This is more like the oldfashioned type, with a mild flavor. This recipe doubles or triples easily.

1//2 pound elbow macaroni - 2 cups dry1 stick butter - 4 oz.1/4 cup onion, diced fine 1/4 cup flourSalt and pepper to taste4 oz. regular, not low fat, Velveeta cheese, cubed4-6 oz. shredded cheddar, divided (I used a heaping cup, probably

more like 6 oz.)2 cups milk, warmed

Boil macaroni in salted water, drain, and set aside while makingsauce.

Over medium heat, melt butter and stir in onion. Cook until onion istranslucent but not brown. Add flour, salt and pepper and whisk just untilflour is light brown. Stir in milk and whisk until thicker and bubbly.

Remove from heat and stir in Velveeta and a little more than half thecheddar. Stir in macaroni. The mac & cheese will be very creamy and thick-ens as it sits. Sprinkle with rest of cheddar.

Versatile cheese sauce: Sauce alone is a good all-purpose cheesesauce.

Rita’s salt free Italian seasoning

Savory is herb of the year and one that’s underused. It has an aro-matic peppery flavor, good in bean dishes (Germans call it the beanherb) since it helps you digest beans. When you’re ready to dry herbs thissummer, use this recipe and you’ll have a marvelous homemade blend.

Mix together:

3 tablespoons dried basil2 tablespoons dried oregano1 tablespoon dried marjoram1 teaspoon dried thyme1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed1 teaspoon dried savory1/2 teaspoon dried sage2 tablespoons dried parsley - optional

Why this blend is good for you:Basil is good for cardiovascular healthOregano and marjoram help keep joints healthy, and fight colds

and fluThyme is especially good for upper respiratory healthRosemary helps keep memories sharpSavory is a good salt substitute and helps dispel gasBoost your wisdom with sageParsley is good for kidney and liver health

I agree with the excellentFeb. 4 guest column by JohnRebel on Israeli militarism; Idisagree with the subsequentopinion by James Forbes thatthe Rebel article “smacks of

Leviticus, I Kings and othersteach love for one’s neighbor,including the stranger withinthe gates. By contrast, thenation of Israel maintains aseparate and discriminatorylegal system for Palestinians,denies Palestinian access tomodern highways, appropri-

I have great respect forJudaic religious teachings, buthave little sympathy for Israelipolitical policy which is fre-quently contrary to thoseteachings.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Readers react to our storyabout legislation that would cutoff state funding to the pro-posed Eastern Corridor:

Eastern Corridor projecton life support?cin.ci/1FXL9g6

“This is FANTASTIC news.ODOT and SORTA should takenote – the days of building mas-sive freeways to ease com-mutes for those who choose tomove far away from their jobsare OVER.

“The states citizens don’towe a hassle-free suburbancommute to those who seek aMcMansion on 50k a year. Youwant a shorter commute? Movecloser to your job. Spendingover a BILLION dollars toshave 5 minutes off someonefrom Milford’s commute isdownright silly. Not to mentionthe communities inside I-275that would be ruined by thisterrible plan.

“Thank goodness commonsense prevailed. Now let’s moveon to plan B, and start workingon a real transit system that’snot based on automobiles.”

Marc Raab“How do you go through

Newtown on your way fromMilford, to anywhere? Yourenthusiasm exceeds your geog-raphy...

“And, it’s not five minutes.My 15-mile commute can take45 minutes. A decent bypasscould have saved an hour a day.

“And, I didn’t move to theburbs for a McMansion Icouldn’t afford. I moved to getaway from judgmental do-gooders like you, and the pub-licly subsidized crime wavethat took over the nice city Igrew up in.

“And, I’d do it again. My

commute is a small price to payfor the peace and order I getout in the sticks. So if you’drather I add 45 minutes of pollu-tion and congestion to yourneighborhood on my waythrough, I’m OK with that.”

Robert Hull“If you are opposed to the

EC, where exactly do you sug-gest they build tracks for yourmass transit idea? Talk aboutcost!”

Julie Scott“How about a plan for real

mass transit ? Wasson rail withtrail? More bus lines, morefrequent service. make it pos-sible to get around Cincinnatiwithout a car. Save money and

the environment and connectpeople with jobs and educationcenters with affordable trans-portation.”

Marilyn Wall“This is encouraging news.

It’s a testament to the decadesof work done opposing this planby the Sierra Club.

“It’s also a testament to thepower of grassroots communityorganizing and agitation againstthis Eastern Corridor idea bycommunity people in Madi-sonville, Mariemont and New-town that has unfolded theselast 3-5 years. We are the ones –not the politicians – who ulti-mately will stop this misguidedEastern Corridor plan.

“As this decision movesforward to being finalized, thenwe can move forward to devel-op improved transportationapproaches for eastern Hamil-ton County area that focusesmore on

» expanded bus service,» more pedestrian and bicy-

cle infrastructure, and» select small-scale improve-

ments to improve the localstreet grid to strengthen com-munities and economic devel-opment.

“This is a great day!”Bill Collins

“That is messed up. Cincin-nati will be forever a backwatertown.”

Steve Stenger“Glad we're learning from

the past and not building newhighways at the expense of ourexisting communities.”

Matt Jacob “The SR 32 relocation prom-

ises to reduce commute times,but if fails to say by how much.How much faster would one getto work 2 minutes? 15 minutes?Meanwhile business starts andpopulation growth has stagnat-ed in Clermont County. Growthand demand has moved back toinside the loop and new trans-portation planning needs toreflect that trend.”

A sign located alongside Ohio 32 in Newtown protests the Eastern Corridor project.

Feb. 25 questionWhat is your ideal place or

way to escape the winter weath-er?

“Upstate New York in theAdirondacks or northern Mich-igan are my ideal places toescape the majority of wimpsin Cincinnati who think winteris something from which youneed to escape. Embrace win-ter, go ski (downhill or crosscountry), snowmobile or justtake a nice winter hike in thewoods. There are no crowds. IfI choose to seek a warm weath-er vacation then the CaribbeanIslands are my next choice.The western side of Jamaicaand Antiqua are my favorites.”

M.J.F.

“Well all the ideal placesthat I know of to escape I can'tget to because I have to workand winter is a busy season forus. So instead I've decided tojust embrace winter. If I tryand realize that it can only goon for so long, and get so bad,then when the spring and sum-

mer arrives I find I am waymore grateful. However, whenit is August, and about 90 de-grees with 95 percent humidityI try and remember back tohow great it felt to be shov-eling my driveway in minus 0degree weather. It is all rela-tive.”

Spanbauer, an AndersonTownship resident, bested Ket-tering Alter senior Trent Ha-genbuch’s second-place scoreof 456.5 with his boldest dive ofthe day — one he just recentlylearned.

“Trent had just done anamazing dive and I knew thatthis dive had to be the best I’veever done,” Spanbauer said. “Itwas an inward two-and-a-half,which I had just learned withinthe last month. So it’s a hit-or-miss dive. I had a really goodstart and it worked out for me. Itwas a really good dive rightwhen I needed it.”

The inward two-and-a-halfcarries a degree of difficulty of3.1, which is one of the hardestdives, according to Summit

Country Day diving coach LoriRapp.

ship almost made up all of thedeficit when he out-swam ChetDobson in the third leg. The setup a great finish between Kie-ser and Jack Mantkowski.

In the final 25 yards, Kiesercaught up with Mantkowski andbeat him to the wall by a 10th of asecond.

“It would have been a bum-mer if I didn’t win that race,”Kieser said. “But, it was a reallygood way to top off this season.Winning that relay and statewas incredible.”
