MT. WASHINGTON — The siteof a former Marathon stationcould be developed.

Developer ChrisMcClenath-en is working with the Mt.Washington Community Coun-cil on a possible development atthe site, which currently con-sists of vacant landanda retain-ing wall.

The Marathon gas station,whichhadbeenvacant formorethan a decade, was torn down in2012. Formany years, residentsand council members havewanted something developed atthe site, which is located at 2010Beechmont Ave. Ideas haveranged from a small park tosome type of business.

McClenathendeclined to givespecifics onwhatwould be built atthe site, but hesaid he is seekinga zoning varia-nce thatwouldal-lowforabuildingwith a drive-

through.“We are working through all

thedetails at thispoint,”hesaid.“I think it has agoodprobabilityof being developed. It just de-pends on what we agree on atthe end of the day.”

McClenathen said the size ofthe property is a factor in whatcould be built there.

Although unable to provide aspecific time frame, McCle-nathen said work could poten-

tially begin in the next 12 to 18months.

Mt. Washington CommunityCouncil board members saidthey would like to see some-

thing built that would comple-ment the business district.

“A pedestrian-friendly de-velopment would be wel-comed,” said board member

Rob Hayes.Board President Courtney

Vonderhaar said discussionsare preliminary at this stage.

Pension reformCincinnatiCityCouncil

recently approved ballotlanguage for a proposedcharter amendment thatwould dramaticallychange the city pensionplan.

If passed, the proposedamendment would freezethe current pension sys-tem, which is currentlycarrying an $870 millionunfunded liability.

It would also requirethe city to implement anew 401(k)-style definedcontribution plan and torid itself of the projecteddeficit within 10 years.

Backers of the pro-posed amendment col-lected the required num-ber of signatures. Councilis required to put it on theballot whether or not indi-vidual members agreewith it or not.

City Council votedagainst supporting theamendment in a non-bind-ing motion last month.

BRIEFLY

ANDERSON TWP. — Afive-year fight over a con-troversial mine proposalhere still has no end in

sight.The Anderson Town-

ship Board of Zoning Ap-peals recently voted to re-approve Martin MariettaMaterials Inc. request tobuild and operate an un-derground limestonemine in northeastern An-derson Township.

It would involve blast-ing 400 to 800 feet under-ground and storing explo-sives on a 480-acre sitenear Broadwell andRound Bottom roads.

Since the originaltownship zoning approvalin June 2010, the case hasgone through a litany oflegal battles and historyseems on the verge of re-peating itself.

In late 2012 the 1st Dis-trict Court of Appealskicked the case back tothe Anderson Townshipzoning board after deter-mining it “exceeded itsauthority in conditioningits decision on the GoodNeighbor Fee.” Judgeswanted the board to de-cide whether the minewould still be approvedwithout that fee.

That fee – oneofnearlytwo dozen conditions forapproval—requiredMar-tin Marietta to keep a $1million bond and pay the

township 5 cents per tonofmaterial sold and deliv-ered from the site.

AndthisJuly theBoardof Zoning Appeals – notcomprised of any of thesame members who is-sued the original decision— removed the goodneighbor fee as a condi-tion and re-approved themine proposal.

Opponents to the minehave again appealed theboard’s decision to theHamilton County Com-mon Pleas Court, whichheard the first appeal ofthe 2010 decision.

“It’s just an extremelycomplicated process,”said attorney Tim Mara,who is representing doz-ens of Anderson Town-ship residents and busi-nesses fighting MartinMarietta’s plan.

“We spent a lot of timemulling this over, and it isvery difficult procedural-ly.”

Mara said they haveother issues with theboard’s July decision, inaddition to the concernsraised inpreviousappeals— mainly that the dustnoise, truck traffic andunderground vibrationswould be a nuisance andnegatively impact the en-

vironment in the LittleMiami River valley.

Martin Marietta hassaid those concerns wereunlikely to affect the sur-rounding areas, and themine would benefit thecommunity.

“There are new issuesthat include deliberationbehind closed doors, andevery one of the boardmembers is new to thecase,” Mara said.

“We have a little diffi-culty believing each ofthose board membersread the 3,000 pages oftranscripts and reviewedall the exhibits.”

Gary Powell, the attor-ney who has been repre-senting Anderson Town-ship through much of thiscase, said the boardmem-bers were different, butlikened it to members ofCongress not being thesame from one session tothe next.

“It will be interestingto see how (the courts) ap-proach that,” he said.“The individual membersmake up the body, but youcan’t force people whohave stepped off theboard to come back.”

The new appeal hasbeen assigned to JudgeRobertRuehlman,who, in

December 2011, over-turned the original ap-proval of the project. Hewrote inhisruling that thezoning board’s decisionwas “replete with exam-ples of illegal acts as wellas invalid, void and inef-fective conditions.”

Because the 1st Dis-trict judges declined torule on many of the otherissues in Ruehlman’s 2011decision, Powell said it’sunclear if that will stand.

“In the relatively nearfuture we’ll determinehow thecasewill proceed,but short of that it’s hardto speculate how it willgo,” he said.

“This is kind of an un-usual posture for an ad-ministrative appeal, butit’s interestingfromanac-ademic standpoint.”

Mara said he thinksRuehlman’s decisionoverturning the Board ofZoning Appeals 2010 ap-proval of the mine willstill be in effect.

“In other words, we’llend up going back to the(1st District) Court of Ap-peals on those issues andthe new ones,” he said.

Martin Marietta offi-cials could not be reachedfor comment.

ANDERSON TWP. — Hard topicture a guywho goes 6-foot-2,200 pounds as the runt of the lit-ter, but he is.

Josh Correll may be smallfor his family – more on themlater – but he’s a pretty big manon defense for the AndersonHigh School football team,where he plays safety.

“He has a great vision, greatinstinct,” said head coach JeffGiesting in the preseason. “Hejust gets to the ball. He makesplays.”

In fact, he got to the ball forhis first varsity interceptionduring a week one loss againstMt. Healthy in the CrosstownShowdown at the University ofCincinnati.

“It felt pretty good to getthat,” Correll said. “I didn’thave any interceptions lastyear, so to get one in the firstgame felt good. Hopefully thefirst of many.

“It was a cover three and Ihadthedeepzone. Iwasjust try-ing to be the deepest man back,not let anybody behind me. Thequarterback overthrew it by alot and I was there.”

That said, Correll is more in-terested in the team than per-sonal accomplishments.

Evidence of that belief re-sides on Correll’s wrist in theform of a black band embossedwith “F.I.G.H.T.” in white let-ters. The acronym stands forFinish, Intensity, Grit, Heartand Team.

“The start of the season isreally important,” Correll said.

“The last couple of years we’vebeen 0-3 and you have a hardtime getting any momentumfrom there. The next couple ofweeks are really important forus so we can be better.

“F.I.G.H.T. is something the

captains came upwith.We haveto fight. We have to play as ateam or else we’re not going tobe better.”

Correll comes by his passionfor football honestly.

“I was basically born into a

football family,” he said.Brother Gabe Correll played

at the University of Kentucky.Brother Jesse Correll is a red-shirt freshmanon thedefensiveline at Butler University. Bothplayed forAnderson before col-lege.

Dad Steve played at UK inthe 1970s and grandpa Ray Cor-

rell may have been the best ofthe lot, a first-teamAll-Americapick at guard for the Wildcatsunder Bear Bryant.

Josh – who said history is hisfavorite subject in school -hopes to play in college himself,but has yet to field any seriousoffers. He’s hopeful a good sen-ior season will help him land ascholarship.

Long before Friday nightlights and thinking of the nextstep, Correll began his footballcareer in first grade, playingboth ways. By middle school hewas primarily a running back,but returned to the defensiveside of the ball in high school.

Which was fine by him.“Probably just to lay some

guy out feels better,” he said. “Ilike to hit. It’s better to be theguygiving the shots than takingthem.”

Turpin’s fall athleteswillbethe first to try out the newlyremodeledweights and condi-tioning room thatwas paid forby the Turpin Athletic Boost-ers and donations.

The new facility off thegymnasium’s main lockerareaboastsnewweightplates,modern sets of dumbbells andracks, three multi-lift bench-es, three combination racks,new bumper plates, a Free-dom Motion Trainer, a dip as-sist and pull-up assist, threeOlympic Bars, eight YorkPower Bars and new flooringthroughout the facility.

Turpin Athletic DirectorEric Fry said the total cost ofthe renovation project was al-most $73,000 and was paid en-tirely with funds donated bythe Turpin Athletic Boostersandprivate donations from lo-cal individuals and business-es.

“The weight room im-provements have allowed ourteams to work out more effi-ciently and safely,” said Fry.“We have also improved theset-up of the room, and nowour athletes are able to do newexercises and lifts that wasnot possible with the room be-fore.”

Work on the remodel start-ed in the spring and was com-pleted just before condition-ing and workouts began forthe fall sports season.

Pam Sears, Turpin AthleticBooster president, said therenovation project to theweight training facility wasone the boosters have wantedto accomplish for a while.

“Our athletes spend just asmuchtime liftingandworking

out as theydo on the field, so itwas important for the Boost-ers and Eric to make sure thestudents had a safe and up-to-date weight training area,”she said.

The Turpin Athletic Boost-ers raise funds through mem-bership fees fromparents andfundraising activities such asSpartanRama, which is heldevery year as a gathering ofparentsandsupportersofTur-pin Athletics.

About $27,000 in donationscame from individuals in theTurpin community who want-ed to contribute to the project.

Additional support wasprovided by the partnershipbetweentheForestHillsLocalSchool District and MercyHealth and Wellington Ortho-paedic and SportsMedicine, a10-year agreement signed in2012 that includes athletictraining services and studentwellness programs.

The partnership will pro-vide a paid weight room andconditioning coach at bothTurpin and Anderson highschools to assist student-ath-letes on the proper use of theequipment and correct condi-tioning exercises.

“This partnership furthersour commitment to the com-munity and means that Wel-lington Orthopaedic & SportsMedicine, will ensure all stu-dent athletes have access toorthopedic and sports injuryevaluations, concussion man-agement and baseline testing,functional movement screen-ings, sports-specific physicaltherapy and rehabilitation,”said Dr. Robert S. Heidt Jr. ofWellington.

WALNUT HILLS — The art ofscheduling football games va-ries among those who hope tobuild successful squads on thegridiron.

One popular practice is toplay “easier” games early in theseason to gain confidence andprepare for the conferenceschedule. Many refer to to suchcontests as “cupcakes.”

For coach George Kontsis atWalnut Hills High School, hisway to building a lean machineis to skip the cupcakes. Thehead Eagle dove right into themaincourseAug. 31, byopeningwith arguably his toughest op-ponent, Sycamore, in the Sky-lineChiliCrosstownShowdown.

On paper, it might look like amistake. Kontsis begs to differ.

“Sycamore is a hell of a foot-ball team, but we are too,” Kont-sis said. “We had 40 offensiveplays in the first half and fourturnovers. We moved the ball inthe first half. We kicked our-selves.”

The turning point in thegame was when the Eagles hadfirst and goal, ready to possiblycut Sycamore’s lead to 13-7 inthe second quarter. Instead, theAves forced junior quarterbackKevin Blount to fumble and ranthe ball 85 yards for a score.

It was a common theme onthe night as Walnut Hillscoughed it up five times. De-spite the drops on openingnight, Kontsis was philosophic.

“I’ve felt a lot worse aftergetting beat 41-7,” Kontsis said.“I think we can play some foot-ball. I’m excited about our teamthis year. I really am. I think itshowed we can play. That is atop levelGMCfootball teamand

we playedwith them. The scoremight not be indicative for the‘average Joe’ that looks at it andthat’s too bad.”

Even in the bitter defeatagainst Sycamore, Blount wasvoted the Walnut Hills MVP ofthe game. The dual threat wasplayingjusthis11thvarsitygameand has nearly 20 more to playfor theEaglesbeforegraduation.

“He’sagota lotmorefootballto play,” Kontsis said. “He’s ouroffensive leader.”

Senior Tierin Williams andKhalil Auguste are 5-foot-7 elu-sive running backs that shouldhelp, while tight ends RandallMincy and Cole Murphy should

receive more touches as theseason advances.

“RandallMincy (tight end) isdoing a nice job blocking andouroffensive line isdoinganicejob,” Kontsis said.

Defensively, Louisville com-mit Nilijah Ballew leads thepack and has a nose for the ball.Kontsis believes the talent isthere and hopes to get the Ea-gles back to their playoff formof 2011.

“I thinkwecanplay,”Kontsissaid. “I’d rather correct mis-takes than make a trade. We’renotgoing tobeable to tradeany-body. Mistakes you can correctand I’m excited.”

Their Eastern CincinnatiConference schedule starts atAnderson Sept. 20. In the earlygoing, it appears the ECC couldbe up for grabs.

“I know this - Anderson andTurpin are tremendously wellcoached,” Kontsis said. “It’s atough league and every week’sgoing to be a battle for us.”

This is in response to thepiece entitled: “Forest HillsNixes Tax-Hike Idea.”

In my opinion the ForestHills School District facesthree major issues:

1. Crumbling school build-ings.

2. A disjointed community.3. An inability to adequately

inform and communicate withthe community.

Our schools are literallyfalling down. It’s not an over-statement. It’s a crisis and itmust be addressed.

We have too many build-ings, and most of them are tooold. The most recent proposalfrom the school board ad-dressed rebuilding one ofthose buildings – that’s notenough.

If you look at the votes forand against the last bond issue

they are pret-ty clearlydivided byarea, based onwho wouldbenefit from itand who wouldnot.

Previousbond issueshave failed formany differ-ent reasons.

Several years ago I thinkthe community didn’t under-stand the problems, and sowere reluctant to embrace theproposed changes.

Most of the planning anddiscussion at that time hap-pened behind closed doors andthe community did not trustthe information once it wasforced into the open.

If the district wants to

move forward with any kindof plan to consolidate schools,they need to inform and com-municate with the taxpayersthroughout the process.

This most recent bond issuedid very little to address theproblems and concerns thatmost of the residents of thiscommunity have about thefacilities.

We live in a wonderful com-munity. Anderson Townshipenjoys wonderful parks,strong real estate values, andexceptional community ser-vices….all at a relatively lowproperty tax level.

At the foundation of thecommunity are the schools. Ifwe allow our schools to fail,the community can’t be farbehind.

I think it is time for realchange in the facilities that

make up the Forest Hillsschool district.

As a community it is timewe make an investment in thefuture of Anderson Township.We need to put our personalinterests aside and do what isright for the community as awhole.

Let start at the bottom andwork our way up.

Step One: ElementarySchools. Do we really need 6outdated elementary schools?Could we reshuffle the studentpopulation into 4 buildings?Either new construction, orremodeling and adding on tofour of our existing buildings?

Step Two: Nagel Middleschool. Frankly – your guess isas good as mine on this one.Perhaps we should make itlarger and include sixth gradehere. Then the four elemen-

tary schools only need tohouse K-5.

Step Three: A new highschool. I know it is a hugelyunpopular idea for some in thecommunity, but looking at thefacts realistically, I believe itis the most reasonable answer.

This “Mega High School”would still be smaller thanother schools in our area suchas Mason, Oak Hills, LakotaWest and Lakota East.

I like the idea of two small-er high schools too, but wejust can’t afford it.

I think this configurationwould allow our community tocontinue to offer an excellenteducation to our children forgenerations to come.

Greetings fromMountWashington Branch Library!My name is EllaMulford-Chinnand I am the newTeen Librari-an.

Our branch, located at 2049Beechmont Ave., is doing somevery innovative and outside-the-box programming through-

out the nextyear andwewanted toshare what weare doingwiththe communityand how youcan partici-pate.

I startedwith this ideaof hands-onprogrammingto teach young

adults teamwork, collabora-tion, creativity, and criticalthinking.

The Public Library of Cin-cinnati andHamilton County’smission statement is “Connect-ing people with the world ofideas and information,” andthis program series is built todo exactly that.

I want the teens who partici-pate to see another side ofscience and technology, andconnect them to these engi-neering concepts in a newwaythat is exciting, entertainingand educational.

Starting in October we areimplementing a program se-ries called Robot Thursdayswhichwill be the first Thurs-day of everymonth throughFebruary.

At these programs teensages12-18 can come into thelibrary and build differentkinds of robots everymonth.Library programs are alwaysfree and the teens will be ableto take their robots home!

Here are the dates of theprograms and the kinds ofrobots wewill be creating:

» Oct. 3 - Brush BotsThe Brush Bot uses the head

of a toothbrush as its body andthe bristles as its legs. Thehundreds of nylon hairs twitch

and vibrate tomake the “bot”bounce along like a nervouslittle insect. A tiny pagermotorand coin cell battery providethe get-up-and-go.

»Nov. 7 - Solar GrasshopperBuild your own life-size

grasshopper and explore solarpower with this educationalmini-solar robot. The snap-together, attention gettingSolar Grasshopper teacheshow solar energy can be usedto generate electricity.

»Dec. 5 - Super Car RobotsThe Super Solar Racing Car

has surprising speed. The caris super chargedwith the sun’spowerful rays of light. Thankgoodness you can control thisspeedster from dangerousmishaps by shielding its powersource and immediately de-pressing the brakes to stop!

» Jan. 2 - 6-in-1Solar RobotBuild six different working

models: an air-boat, car, wind-mill, puppy, and two differentairplanes.

» Feb. 6 - SpinBotWhat do you get when you

put colorful pens in the clutch-es of a buzzing, spinning robot?A SpinBot! TheMAKE SpinBotlets you build a triple-armed,pen- or chalk-grasping “robot”that spins in circles and drawselaborate geometric shapeswhile youwatch.

Register for these programsat http://programs.cincinnati-library.org.

I have also started a pro-gram called LearnHow toSolder, which will be an essen-tial skill for future program-ming that will involvemoredifficult projects that requireusing soldering on circuitboards.

Special programs like thesearemade possible at the An-derson andMountWashingtonbranches due to the generoussupport of the Anderson Town-ship Library Association.

Last week’s questionDo you think the U.S. is safer

nowthat itwas12years ago,be-fore the Sept. 11 attacks? Whatdo you most remember aboutthat day?

“No, I don’t think we’re saf-er.

“Wehaveapresidentwho ismuch more interested in hispersonal popularity and vaca-tions than taking care of ourcountry. To be fair about it, Idon’t think he’s capable of thejob and doesn’t have the senseto appoint people who are.

“I pray that we get throughthenext 3yearswithout anoth-er 9-11.”

J.K.

“We probably are saferthanwewere12 years ago, butit’s the kind of statistic that isdifficult to quantify becauseof political bickering and igno-rance of most of the public.

“It’s also true that many at-tacks may have been thwart-ed, but the kind of work bycounter-intelligence peoplethat prevents them is secretand unknown to most of us.That’s why it’s generally ‘clas-sified.’

“I remember being in myclassroom teaching my sev-enth grade a story that hadManhattan as its setting andworrying the military mightshoot down the jet over Penn-sylvania before it circled backaround to Washington.”

TRog

“Personally I never felt un-safebefore or after 9-11. Itwasa tragedy, but when you areraisedpracticinghidingunderyourdeskbecauseofanuclear

attack you tend to take theevent with a different per-spective.

“When it occurred I was inmy home office. My wifeyelledandmy immediatecom-ment upon seeing it on TVwasthat it was Bin Laden.

“I toldher thatPres.Clintonhad warned the incoming ad-ministration to watch out forhim, but they ignored him onthat and just about everythingelse due to their arrogance.The second plane confirmedmy supposition.”

J.Z.

“Yes, if your question asksabout ‘from foreign terror-ists.’ No, if your question asksabout ‘from our re-electedleaders.’

“While deeply saddenedthat day and for some periodafter that day, the bombersknewtheycouldruinourcoun-try if they could make our re-elected officials run amokwith our freedoms ... obvious-ly, this has happened. It’s mybiggest fear, and it is ongoing.”

Kroger and Paneradeserve our support

Over the past year I haveread stories here in the ForestHills Journal about youngpeo-ple who had problems in theiremploymentwith two local es-tablishments. That is alwayssad to read.

I have been a resident ofAnderson Township for 38years. I support the work ofboth Kroger and PaneraBread.

Kroger is the only placethat I know of in this township

that employs personnel whohave visible handicaps. Thereare always several workers atKroger who have visible signsof a handicap.

Panera Bread is also a goodcorporatecitizen.At theendofthe day they take their day oldproducts and donate them toworthy recipients. They dothat at all of their storesaround the country.

Personnel issues are al-ways complex. I can under-stand amother writing the pa-per with her side of the issue.

Most corporations will re-

main silent on a personnel is-sue as it involves the issue ofconfidentiality. Howeverthere are always two sides of astory.

I think both Kroger andPanera Bread deserve oursupport. The only affiliation Ihavewith them is that of a cus-tomer.

I applaudbothof these localstores for their corporate pol-icies of giving others a break.

Every cloud has asilver lining. There’s areason for everything.Being challenged in lifeis inevitable, being de-feated is optional. Ourfamily friend, Ruth AnnAshburn, could havequoted these sayings

after astormwreckedhavoc withtwo of herfavoritetrees: Amaple sheraisedfrom asaplingand thetallest wild

cherry tree I’ve everseen. My husband, Frank,and I went over to help.Frank brought his sawand tackled the smallerlimbs. The professionalscame in for the rest. Thesilver lining here is wenow have a good amountof wood aging for nextyear.

The storm alsoknocked a lot of our ap-ples off our trees, so Ihad to use the fallen onesup. Granddaughter Evaand I made applesaucefor her little sister, Emer-son. She washed the ap-ples and I chunked themup for the slow cooker. Ialso dehydrated someapples and have appleleather/rollups drying inthe sun. Check my blogfor those recipes plusphotos.

Chris Lipnick’s appleblossom cake

Chris, a Kentuckyreader, immigrated tothis country fromGer-many. Chris, like mydaughter-in-law Inge, isan expert baker. Chrisshared this recipe a whileback and I get requestsfor it when apple seasonrolls around. A moist and“good keeper” cake. “Ev-eryone wants the recipe,”Chris told me.

3 eggs2 cups sugar11⁄4 cups canola oil3 cups all-purpose flour1⁄2 teaspoon each cinnamon,nutmeg, cloves, salt

11⁄2 teaspoons baking soda1 teaspoon vanilla3 cups peeled and choppedapples (Chris likes GrannySmith)

1 cup chopped pecans orwalnuts

Preheat oven to 350degrees and grease andflour Bundt pan. Beatsugar and eggs untilcreamy. Add oil slowlyand beat until blended.Sift flour with spices, salt

and soda. Pour into eggmixture and blend. Addvanilla, apples and nuts.Blend well and pour intopan. Bake 11⁄4 hours. Cooland remove from pan.Dust with powderedsugar or make glaze oflemon juice and pow-dered sugar.

Kathy L.’s poorman’s lobster

I knew I could counton you! A reader who hadlost her recipe and washoping beyond all hopethat I could help find itrequested this. “I’vemade this quite a bitalthough not recently.This recipe is probably atleast 20 years old. Since Idusted this off, I think Iwill fix it again soon,”Kathy said.

1 lb. cod frozen, thawedenough to cut (about 1hour at roomtemperature)

2 cups water3 tablespoons cider vinegar2 teaspoons salt3 tablespoons butter1⁄2 teaspoon paprika

Cut each block offillets into equal chunkseach about 1-inch square.In a medium saucepan,bring water, vinegar andsalt to a boil over moder-ately high heat. Add fishchunks and reduce heatto moderate and simmer15 minutes until fish isopaque in center. Use anovenproof pan and meltthe butter in it. Removefish with slotted spoonand place in a singlelayer in prepared pan.Sprinkle fish with papri-ka and spoon butter overfish. Broil 3 to 5 inchesfrom heat source forabout 5 minutes, spoon-ing butter over fish once.

Roasted smashedpotato cakes

For Susan B., an East-side reader, who atethese at a restaurant.“They were seasonedwith just salt and pepper,and garnished withchives,” she said.

About 2 pounds small orbaby potatoes (I usedmylittle garden potatoes)

Olive oilSalt and pepper to tasteOnion chivesSour cream (optional)

Cook potatoes anddrain. Preheat oven to450 degrees. Brush bak-ing sheet with oil andheat in oven for 5 min-utes. When potatoes arecool enough to handle,gently flatten and brushwith oil, and add sea-sonings. Roast about 15

minutes or so. Turn overand roast until golden,another 15 minutes or so.Garnish with chives andside of sour cream.

The e-mails look suspi-cious and, upon checking,I’ve learned I’m one ofmany people receiving

them.Two such e-mails

came in August, alleged-ly from the United StatesPostal Service, asking meto download and print outa label, then take it at thenearest post office. For-tunately, I didn’t do thatbecause it could havecaused big problems.

Federal Express has awarning on its websitesaying scammers areusing its corporate logo,colors and legal disclaim-ers to make them appearauthentic. But it says thisis all just a scam to trickyou into divulging yourpersonal or account in-formation. Scammers

ty num-bers, andcredit carddetails.ConsumerReportssays one ofits staffersreceivedone ofthese e-mails last

year which stated he’dhave to pay a fee if hefailed to act.

Like FedEx, the U.SPostal Service has awarning on its websiteabout e-mails claiming tobe from the postal ser-vice seeking online post-age charges or telling ofattempted or interceptedpackage deliveries. Post-al officials say you

should delete these mes-sages without takingfurther action. It says,“The Postal InspectionService is working hardto resolve the issue andshut down the maliciousprogram.”

Remember, neitherFedEx nor the post officewill send you an e-mail.If they need you, they’lldrop a note off at yourhome or send you a let-ter. They have your ad-dress, but not your e-mailinformation.

As part of the firstphase of atMercyHealth– Anderson Hospital’splanned expansion, threeoperating rooms wererenovated into two larg-er ones. Another largeoperating room will beadded to the suite laterthis year, as well as ashelled-out fourth oper-ating room for futuregrowth.

“As surgery advancesthrough the use of tech-nology, the tools we usecan get big and cumber-some, like a portablecomputerized tomogra-phy, orCT, scanner,” saysJeff Graham, MercyHealth East market lead-er and president.

“With standard oper-ating rooms measuring450 square feet, gettingequipment, the surgicalteam and patient bed intothe room made thingstight and hard to maneu-ver. We now have thespace we need to deliverthe highest quality surgi-cal care using the latesttools and equipment.”

One of the newly en-larged operating rooms,OR2, will serve as a per-manent, dedicated homefor S.A.R.A. (SurgicalAdvanced Robotic Aid),the daVinci robotic sur-gery system named byWilson Elementary stu-dent Jonah Maifeld, whowon the naming contestAnderson Hospital heldfor Anderson-area stu-dents.
