Roger rides again


It had been too long. Roger needed some TLC.
Getting ready for a trip to Kelleys Island, I pulled my bike out of the garage. The tires
were flat and most likely needed new tubes. It needed to be cleaned and oiled. I had
neglected it, and in turn neglected one of the loves of my life, riding.
Most folks dont take naming inanimate objects lightly. This is reserved for stuffed
animals and security blankets as children, and boats and fast cars as adults. Well, I
didnt have a car when I graduated from high school. In fact, I didnt have a license,
but that is a story for another day. I asked for a bike, a red bike. My parents went
to the bike shop in town and picked out a beauty, A Schwinn Cross Fit, 18 speeds,
candy apple red. Its a mens bicycle, so by the time I named him a couple years later,
he was Roger.
My first bike was also red. My father taught me how to ride, with patience and stamina
up and down our streets sidewalk. I was five years old. The bike was freedom.
Lets just say right now that I was, ahem, a challenge, for my parents, and often the
trouble I was in involved my bike. If I was allowed between my neighbors driveways,
I went to the corner. If I was allowed up and down the sidewalk, I was in the street. If
I was allowed on my street, I was two streets over. Or three. Or in the woods on the
BMX trails the boys built. And I always got caught. My father would take my bike and
hang it from hooks on the ceiling, ostensibly grounded for the week. I dont remember
a time when the grounding lasted the whole week; he almost always gave in.
As an adult, Roger has meant that freedom and more. During college, it was

Summer Stock Theatre Presents

transportation. I would ride to the grocery store, fill a backpack and balance bags
on my handlebars. Ive ridden the bike to work, countless trails and paths, around
neighborhoods and once, the 300-mile Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure, the bike tour that
recently made its way through the area. I rode and filed a story and column each day
from the tour. I trained to ride for 50 miles a day and it was the fittest I have ever been.
But lately, Roger has sat. And so have I. So, it was good to get the old bike (and I do
mean old I graduated from high school in 1991) in for a tune up. In anticipation of
the week, I took Roger out for a spin the other morning, through the neighborhood. As
I cruised past neighbors homes, I thought about each family, many of whom needed
prayers. In the quiet of the morning and my two wheels, I was able to offer them.
And then, I encountered some unusually high traffic for a neighborhood at 8 a.m. and
couldnt figure it, until I saw the signs. Garage sale. The only other folks up and about
at that hour on a Saturday.
The ride was short, about a half hour, but good. I didnt go far or fast, but it was
enough to remind me that life is too short to live without my bike.
Thanks for reading,

Heather Rutz, editor

Stedic and the Groove

Local reggae band performs


uplifting music around Lima
Interview by Kate Ellis
Photo by Kelli Cardinal

LIMA - Lead vocalist for the band Stedic and the Groove,
Chris Stedic Henderson had the idea for a reggae group five
years ago. While Henderson grew up in Lima, his mother and
grandfather are originally from Trinidad, giving him insight into
island culture and music. A unique sound in the area, the band
plays at local bars and restaurants frequently, as well as traveling around the United States. This weekend Stedic and the
Groove will perform at Main Street Pub on Friday, American
Legion Post 96 on Saturday, and at the Happy Daz Family
Night in the Park at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday in Faurot park.
Henderson sat down with the419 to talk about the band,
what they are up to, and about island culture.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/
Stedic-Music/115775891825644?fref=ts
Q. Howd you guys get started playing together?
A. About four or five years ago. Ive always done music, my
whole life. Ive been in rock groups, played for my church,
and Ive been around - my mom and my grandfather are from
Trinidad, so Ive been around the island
culture my whole life. I was sitting at
the studio one day and I said Im going
to start a reggae band. It just happened one day sitting in the studio.
We all - a lot of people in my band,
weve all played together before,
church wise. So we got together, put

out an album, I taught them my songs, and thats how it


happened.
Q. Are the songs written by you, or covers?
A. Yeah. We do covers too, but all my songs are written by
me.
Q. Where does your inspiration come from?
A. Everyday life. Situations, situations you see. I try to keep
every song I write almost about something that has happened
to me personally or something that people can identify with
daily in their life. A lot of them are about relationships. Making
people feel good about life, uplifting. Thats what I am trying
to put out there. Positive, everything positive.
Q. Stedic and the Groove plays all around town, and you
are hopefully going on tour soon, too?
A. Our music is growing here, but its different, different than
your average band. Our music is big in the coast, in Florida,
even if you go to Columbus, they have clubs that have reggae Sundays. Its huge, but its starting to grow here, so Im
happy about that. It took a while, but its coming together.
Q. Growing up around island culture, thats part of why
you do reggae, right?
A. So reggae came from Jamaica. Soca is from Trinidad.
Soca is faster. Trinidad is the last island in the caribbean, right
above South America. Jamaica is way up here by Florida. You
get closer to South America, they have the faster type music.
Soca is a mixture of that. I like slower music, when I listen
to music in American, too, so thats why I gravitate towards
reggae. But I do soca, too.
Q. Where does Stedic come from?
A. When I was younger (in high school) they used to call me
cool calm copacetic Chris. When I had that gospel hip-hop
group we were called C.O.T, I was called Copacetic. And then
I just dropped that and keep Stedic.
Q. Howd they come up with cool calm copacetic Chris?
A. I used to be kind of low-key, just relaxed, chill. I was hyper,
though, just never got out of temper.
Q. Your family is from Trinidad. Do you have any funny
stories about them, or being around island culture?
A. It would be mostly my grandfathers house. Mostly its the
accent. When Trinis get together and they talk its very loud.
Sometimes when they talk, it sounds like they are singing. Its
different than the Jamaican accent. I can tell the difference, a
lot of people cant. Trinis talk real fast, and they get excited.
So if you get four of them in a room together its very loud.

I try to keep every song I write almost about something


that has happened to me personally or something that people can
identify with daily in their life. A lot of them are about relationships.
Making people feel good about life, uplifting.

After weekend construction, Shawnee


roundabout opens to trafc
Photo: Kelli Cardinal
Cars enter what will soon be a one lane roundabout at the intersection of Shawnee
Road and Fort Amanda Road in Shawnee Township.
By Kate Ellis
kellis@the419.com
LIMA - By Sunday morning commuters
had their rst taste of what a roundabout
in the area looks like. After a weekend closure the Shawnee Road roundabout is in
the nal stage of completion and vehicles
are now driving around the circle.
Over the weekend contractors closed the
intersection to convert it into a one-lane
roundabout, so work can begin on the central island. The outer lane is now open to
trac. This is the fourth and nal stage in
the roundabout construction.
Tra c signals were removed Saturday.
Trac is moving counterclockwise through

vehicles to pass.
The roundabout needs to be cleared for
emergency vehicles, which is why vehicles
should continue through the intersection.
If an accident occurs while inside the
roundabout, vehicles should exit the circle
and pull o the edge of pavement outside
the roundabout.
While the intersection is now a functional
roundabout, there will be further construction; once fully complete there will be two,
12-foot lanes. The construction is expected
to be completed by late August.
The central island will have landscaping,
agpoles, and an articial - and removable
- tree. The removable landscaping serves

the intersection and vehicles coming into


the roundabout will need to yield to those
already in the circle.
The most important thing is to remember
is just to take it slow, said Brion Rhodes,
Chief Deputy Engineer of the Allen County
Engineers O ce. When you approach,
slow down, and then select your lane, and
then yield to the tra c in the circle I
think the general public will like it once they
become familiar with it.
When emergency vehicles approach,
cars outside the roundabout need to pull
over as normal to let the emergency vehicles pass. However, if a vehicle is inside
the roundabout, they are not to stop, but
instead continue to the desired destination,
exit and then pull over to allow emergency

two purposes: to create a path for wide


loads traveling to and from the re nery
complex and to provide a visual screen
for drivers.
There is what we call a pass through in
the center of the roundabout, and that pass
through is designed for super sized loads
that come through, Rhodes said. Wide
loads can be up to 24 feet wide. The landscaping will be removable to provide a path
for those large loads.
The landscaping is needed for everyday
commuters, Rhodes said.
Part of a good roundabout design is
that you want to have some type of visual
screen or visual block in the center, so that

How to navigate a
roundabout

The most important thing


you can do at a roundabout
or any intersection is to slow
down
Just like any multi-lane
entering, use the right lane
for right turns and the left
lane for left turns.
Drivers entering the
roundabout must yield the
circle and must also yield to
pedestrians and bicyclists.
Trafc in the roundabout
ows one way. Find a gap in
trafc, then merge into the
roundabout to ll that gap.
Once inside the roundabout,
maintain your lane and
maintain your speed. Do
not change lanes or pass.
Give yourself extra room
by staggering your vehicle,
especially beside large
trucks, which may require
two lanes.
Once inside the roundabout
continue to your desired
destination, use your turn
signal to notify others of
your intent and then exit.
Remember to yield to all
pedestrians and bicyclists
within the crosswalks.
when people come up to the roundabout
and get ready to turn and enter the roundabout, theyre not focusing on trac that is
approaching from the opposite direction,
he said.
Rhodes said drivers should be focusing
on their left when traveling through the
roundabout.
The intersection of Shawnee and Fort
Amanda roads is one of the busiest under
the Allen County Engineers responsibility.
With more than 14,000 vehicles traveling
through the intersection per day, it has been
the No. 1 crash location for three consecutive years. The intersection was also congested which lead to delays.
The roundabout design was chosen
because it provided a safer and more ecient way to handle trac compared to conventional intersections. Once completed, it
will not only be the rst roundabout in Allen
County but the rst in the region.

News in Brief
St. Ritas Health Partners introduces MyChart E-Visits

LIMA - When patients do not feel well, going


to the doctor may be inconvenient or dicult.
St. Ritas Health Partners has introduced a
new technology MyChart E-Visits that
allows some patients to communicate electronically with doctors from wherever they
are. Patients with conditions including: back
pain, a cold or cough, diarrhea, heartburn,
sinus problems or urinary problems can use
MyChart E-Visits. With the E-Visit system,
patients will answer a series of questions to
inform the doctor of symptoms. The doctor

or prescribe medicine, if needed.
According to Ronda Lehman, chief operating ocer of St. Ritas Professional Services,
MyChart E-Visits are another nice option for
mothers with small children or patients with
transportation issues. E-Visits are timely and
convenient.
Patients can expect a response within
24 hours Monday-Friday. Based on how
patients answer E-Visit questions, they may
be asked to schedule a face-to-face visit
with their healthcare provider.
MyChart E-Visits are available only with
doctors who participate in the program. If
a patients doctor does not oer E-Visits,
the patient will need to schedule an oce

Mercy Health is a 2015 Most


Wired Health System

LIMA - Mercy Health (formerly Catholic


Health Partners) a Catholic healthcare ministry serving Ohio and Kentucky announces

that American Hospital Associations Health


Forum and the College of Healthcare
Information Management Executives
(CHIME) has named it a 2015 Most Wired
health system.
Patient engagement and health data
security are top priorities for the nations
hospitals, according to results of the 17th
annual HealthCares Most WiredTM survey, released by the American Hospital
Associations Health Forum and the College
of Healthcare Information Management
Executives (CHIME).
The 2015 Most WiredTM survey and benchmarking study, in partnership with CHIME
and sponsored by VMware, is a leading
industry barometer measuring information
technology (IT) use and adoption among
hospitals nationwide. The survey of more
than 741 participants, representing more
than 2,213 hospitals, examined how organizations are leveraging IT to improve performance for value-based healthcare in the
areas of infrastructure, business and administrative management, quality and safety,
and clinical integration.

At Mercy Health, technology helps us


drive better care for our patients and also
allows our patients to talk with us directly
and take steps to manage their own care,
said Rebecca Sykes, Mercy Health Chief
Information Ocer. Our rollout of a bedside
tablet featuring the patient portal in our inpatient facilities allows patients access to their
own hospital data, such as biographies of
their care team, medication interaction information and test results. This latest option
for accessing electronic data has improved
patient education and satisfaction.
St. Ritas Health Partners was the pilot site
for the bedside tablet, MyChart Bedside, in
the fall of 2013. Following the successful pilot
and the apps popularity with both patients
and sta, Mercy Health has launched the
app in other hospitals. St. Ritas Health
Partners is now using the MyChart app to
oer E-Visits for patients allowing them to
conduct electronic doctors appointments
for conditions including back pain, a cold or
cough, diarrhea, heartburn, sinus problems
or urinary problems.

After serving 30 years in Navy, veteran takes job helping fellow veterans to succeed
By Dawn Kessinger
news@the419.com
LIMA Randy Gasser, a 1976 graduate
of Fort Jennings High School, spent a few
years trying dierent jobs before choosing
to take a dierent road: serving in the Navy.
I wasnt happy in life with the direction
that I was going at the time. I worked for my
grandfather when I rst got out of school. I
worked at a factory in Delphos. That wasnt
for me. I worked for four years at the Lima
State Hospital, when it was called that. That
was a little bit better, I enjoyed it but I still
felt like I was missing something, Gasser
said.
In September of 1981, he made the decision to join the Navy after someone talked
with him about that option. In January of
1982, Gasser left for boot camp.
I wanted something similar to law

enforcement or prison type of work, something in that direction. So, I went into the
military the Navy as an intel specialist.
Everything you do is classied, Gasser
said.
The school I went to was one year long.
Thirty-four of us started; 14 of us graduated.
Its a very tough school. I came out No. 1
in the class I got lucky. You get out of it
what you put into it; I found that out over the
course of my career, he said.
Gasser then went to the eet, where he
stayed for three years. He did three deployments to the Mediterranean as an intel
specialist. At that time, Gasser decided to
change jobs.
It (intel specialist) was a good job; it was
a fun job. I still wanted something dierent.
I had the opportunity to change to a dierent rating. I changed to an admin-type, or

desk job. At the same time, I transferred to


Jacksonville, Florida. I was still on active
duty then, Gasser said.
I decided then that I was never moving
back to Ohio after I lived four miles from the
beach and all that sunshine I really liked
it, he said.
The next ve years of his service brought
another deployment to the Mediterranean
for Gasser.
I was in Lebanon when the bomb went o
at the Marine Barracks. That was my rst
taste of terrorism, Gasser said.
He was also in Libya in 1986 when the U.S.
bombed the country, he said.
Gasser did administrative work for an
aircraft squadron until 1990 and he was a
security manager.
I was a drug and alcohol program adviser.
We would nd out who had drug or alcohol
problems and try to help them before they
got into serious trouble with the military. If
they came to me rst and asked for help, if
they had a drug or alcohol problem, no matter what kind of drug it was, they could not
kick them out of the military, Gasser said.
Gasser visited 41 countries during his service in the Navy. He said he loved the travel
opportunities and the adventure.
I had a heck of a lot of fun. I had fun in
Jacksonville; I had fun overseas. I went skiing in the Swiss Alps; I went skiing in the
Italian Alps. I went to midnight Mass in

Rome one Christmas. I saw the diamond


mines in Egypt and watched 14-year-old
kids carrying Uzis. I went to Greece, spent
ve days in London, England, and toured
Israel, Gasser said.
He moved back to Lima in 1990 with his
wife, Cathy, and daughter, Michelle, a year
after he left active duty and joined the Navy
Reserve.
My whole military career changed. I drilled
for the Navy Reserve for six years out of an
old schoolhouse in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It
was peace time, so nothing was going on.
Then I got out completely, Gasser said.
Although it would not last. In late 1999, he
had another opportunity and re-entered the
Navy Reserves for the next 12 years.
I went into a unit called the Mobile Inshore
Undersea Warfare. It was the best 12 years
of my career. I was in a special missions
unit. My primary job was administrative. I
went to the Mideast six times, from the time
they blew up the USS Cole to the time I
retired in February 2012, Gasser said.
We drove high-speed patrol boats. I had
a crew of ve crew members and we were
heavily armed. We protected the Iraqi oil
platforms, he said.
After retiring in 2012, Gasser volunteered
for the Department of Defense and made
the connections that led to his job of Military
Relations Coordinator at the University of
Northwestern Ohio. Gasser helps veterans
get what they need, be it medical help or
information about available resources, to
be successful.
I enjoy working with veterans its my way
of giving back, he said.
The most valuable piece of wisdom
Gasser learned while serving in the Navy
is the importance of a can-do attitude and
perseverance.
If you think you can, you will. Dont give
up. Be exible, do what you have to do and
you will succeed, Gasser said.

Driving car is top priority for 1969 Camaro owner

By Dawn Kessinger
news@the419.com

Ben Oehlhof has had his 1969 Camaro for


three years. He found the car in Elida.
A friend had it and told me about it. I had just
sold an old vehicle and was looking for something else to buy, Oehlhof said. I liked the
paint the color of the blue paint on it, he said.
Oehlhof said one of the things he likes about
his Camaro is that its mostly all original.
It still has the original interior, he said.
Oehlhof mostly loves to drive his Camaro. Hes
also done some work on it.
Usually, I just go out and go driving, and just
waste gas. Ive really detailed it out good and
put disc brakes, shocks and springs in it. Ive
put air conditioning in it, he said.
Oehlhof is happy with the work hes done to

the Camaro. Driving it is at the top of his to-do


list.
Actually, I really dont have anything else I
want to do to it. Im just more into the driving it.
Theres really not much I want to do to it, except
drive it. These cars are no fun if you just look at
them inside your shop, Oehlhof said.
I go to a few car shows here and there. But I
like coming out here (the Cool Car Cruise In at
Happy Daz) the most. Its kind of laidback and
you can come and go as you please, he said.

Lima
Story and photos by Paige Apkarian

LIMA - Alter Ego Comics celebrated the recent release of the Minions movie Saturday morning by inviting kids to create Minion nger
puppets. This event was part of the stores Super Saturday, which includes a dierent craft the second Saturday of every month. Super Saturdays have been active for two years and the crafts are always related
to current pop culture trends. Katryna Brown leads the event, which
originated with Alter Ego employees own children, and later expanded
to include any child interested. Its a good way to get the community
involved and for kids to get out of the house, Brown said. The children
were excited to glue the overalls, headpieces, and eyes to their Minion
nger puppet and no two Minion puppets were alike. Browns favorite
part of Super Saturday is to watch the kids be creative and see the differences between all the creations. Next months craft will be light saber
pencils and bookmarks to get ready for back to school.

of the technique of
two campers running

the FCA football
camp.

Spartan graduate
Jarrod Pughsley
taking things
one day at a
time in NFL

One day at a time


Jarrod Pughsley likes to keep things
simple.
The 24-year-old Lima Senior graduate
doesnt pay much mind to Pro Bowls and
Super Bowls, fame and fortune, or anything else that being a star in the National Football League may entail. Hes not
even focused on being a star.
Right now, the Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman simply wants to make
the active roster. Its not exactly reaching for the stars, but then again, Pugs
hasnt gotten where he is in life by letting
his head float into the clouds.
By Tony Wolfe Its not like the NFL was never a dream
twolfe@the419.com of mine -- it definitely was, Pughsley
said. But Ive always just been more focused on short-term goals. It sounds cli-

che, but I always just tried to do the best


for my team and never thought much
about standing out.
Pughsleys story about how he reached
the pros is one worth listening to, especially given the fact that he plays a position that cant be expressed in many
statistics, and prior to reaching the NFL,
had never even played for a winning
team.
Pughsley was born in Oakland, California, but from the time he was eight weeks
old, has been a full-blown Lima kid, even
dropping bean city and Glee references when talking about his hometown. He
played just two years on the varsity offensive line for a struggling Lima Senior
team before graduating and walking on
at Akron.

Since I walked on, before I could even


think about the NFL, my goal was that
I need to get on scholarship, Pughsley
said. Once I was on the team, I wanted
to get myself onto the field, so I started working with special teams, and then
I wanted to become a starter. It really
wasnt until the end of my junior year that
I started thinking about the NFL.
His senior year, Pughsley made team
captain, and helped lead the Zips to their
most successful season during his career there. All told, Akron won a total of
just eight games in Pughsleys four years
with the program, so the left tackles exposure to pro scouts was likely limited
at best.

Camp in Elida.
short term goals, however, he wasnt going to be denied a shot.
His first opportunity came with the Dallas Cowboys, where he made it onto the
teams practice squad before he was
sidelined with a bicep injury. Fortunately, he had already impressed opposing
scouts enough that he was in talks with
Kansas City a full week before he was
cut by Dallas.
He signed with the Chiefs last October,
where he spent another year on the practice squad, but this time, stayed healthy.
Now, hes gotten a full off-season of
work in with a pro team for the first time,
and armed with the full strength of NFL
nutritional plans and studying plays,
Pughsley will now enter camp gunning
for a shot at a backup role in the teams
offense, where hes already begun to see
practice reps.
It was sweet to actually get out there,
Pughsley said. On practice squad,
youre running the opposing teams
plays, so to be able to actually learn the
offense and get second team reps was
really sweet.
When it comes to making the active
roster, its difficult to doubt Pughsleys
chances. Hes a part of a young offensive
line group in Kansas City that includes
three rookies, including 2015 second
round draft pick Mitch Morse, and one
other second-year player. The Chiefs are
a team who should be ready to give just
about anybody a shot, as its offensive
line ranked just 27th out of 32 teams on
a ProFootballFocus.com list in 2014.
If Pughsley makes the roster, hell be
in a spot where one injury could throw
him into the mix of starters. Thanks to
Pughsleys versatile body type (64, 310
pounds), he could also be thrown into
the mix as a guard and a tackle, another
advantage working in Pughsleys direction.
No matter how far Pughsleys football
career takes him, Lima will always carry
a special place in his heart. He was back
in Lima instructing a youth football camp
this month, and spoke to Lima Seniors
football team last month when he visited
their summer workouts.

Pughsley says hes proud of the new


culture the Spartans program has embraced five years after his graduation.
When I played, there would be 12 people in the weight room on a good day,
Pughsley said. When I talked to the kids
last month, they had about 35 or 40 kids
there. I told them I was proud of them because the summer is where its all made.
You cant show up in practice at the end
of the summer and tell the coach youre
ready to start and win games. Thats not
how it works.
As for how he stays focused when hes
away from his team, Pughsley carries
around a goal card with him. On it, hes
written three things: Make active roster.
Get on the field during a game. Be ready
when the opportunity presents itself.
He also says he wants his story to be an
inspiration to any kid discouraged with
getting playing time at any given level.
As long as you keep working and chip
away at it, you can work your way up at
any level, Pughsley said. I know Im not
going to become a starter tomorrow, so
I know I have to just approach it a day
at a time."

Ask Amy

This Pop must stop

By Amy Dickinson
Tribune Content Agency

DEAR AMY: My husband, Stan, and I


have two great-grandchildren, ages 3 (girl)
and 5 (boy).
Stan is very critical of the little boy. He
teases him a lot and when the child cries
or yells at his Pop to stop, Stan gets mad,
criticizes him and stomps off. In a recent
column, you called this behavior bullying.
I had never thought of it that way.
Stan doesnt do this all the time but the
little boy has told me several times he does
not like his Pop.
We were going outside yesterday and he
didnt want Pop to come with us and later,
when we were taking them home, he didnt
want Pop to ride in the car with us.
Ive tried to explain to the child that he
shouldnt dislike his Pop but lately, I dont
like him either.
This is not new behavior for Stan. He also
did it to our own children, especially our
oldest -- at one time biting her so hard on
the arm when she was 10 that he left a
bruise. Then he got mad at her for crying.
Ive thought about telling Stan what our
great-grandson has said about him but Im
afraid it will just make things worse. Im
keeping them for a whole week later this
month and I am worried.
Advise me how to handle this, please! -Worried Great-Gran
DEAR GREAT-GRAN: Teasing or berating
a young child and then punishing him for
reacting is inexcusable and unacceptable.
Yes, it is bullying. Biting a child on the arm
hard enough to raise a bruise is abuse. You
have either passively accepted this behavior, or (at least) have not done enough to
disrupt it.
Your priority should be in protecting a
young child who has limited ways to protect himself. So far, your great-grandson
is doing a good job by reacting honestly
and without fear by pushing back and by
not wanting to be with his Pop. As far as
I can tell, this kids instincts are perfect.
In terms of your husband, start with a
very honest talk about his behavior and
the impact on others. Did someone treat
him this way when he was young? Does
he really want this little boy to be afraid
of him?

You and your husband have a grand


opportunity to be heroes to these children
by modeling kindness and respect. You
should let Stan know that if he cant handle
himself around the children, then he should
not be with them. Continue to keep a close
eye on them.
DEAR AMY: My wife and I were invited for
dinner at a new friends house.
When we got there the hostess said she
was too tired to cook and so she wanted
to go out to dinner.
When the bill came he said, Lets split it.
I paid our half, but felt it was really his
place to pay the full bill since they initially
extended the dinner invitation.
Am I wrong? Please clarify. -- Dissed Diner
DEAR DISSED: I agree with you. You
were an invited guest. If you had a longer
friendship with this couple and a history
of back-and-forth hospitality, splitting the
check would have been more of a given.
All the same, things do happen and people
dont always react perfectly.
I hope you will give this friendship an
opportunity to grow and see where it leads.
DEAR AMY: The letter from Trying to
Decide Well concerned divvying up an
estate. After my mothers death my siblings and I gathered in her house (without
spouses) and each chose an item of equal
value to everyone. We wrote our names
down on slips of paper and put them in
a hat. We had one of our kids draw a
name and whoevers name was drawn got
to choose first from the group of items.
After each person made their choice, if we
wanted to do some horse-trading, we did.
We didnt have one argument during this
process. It was what our mother would
have wanted. -- Peaceful with Possessions
DEAR PEACEFUL: This is a wonderful
technique, which I hope others will also
employ.

Pilling a cat takes


patience and purrsuation
By Steve Dale
Pet World,
Tribune Content Agency

Photo: Thinkstock

Q:

Do you have any suggestions for giving my cat the anti-seizure meds
she needs three times a day? I use Pill Pockets (avored treats to hide pills
inside) and sometimes she'll take them. I'm planning a trip in late summer and am very
concerned about the pet sitter being able to give the meds. Is there anything cats can't resist
that I might use to fool my cat into taking her pill? - N.C., Margate, FL
"Over the years, many cat owners have told me it's impossible to get pills into their cats,"
says feline veterinarian Dr. Margie Scherk, of Vancouver, British Columbia Canada.
"They ask for liquid formulations because they think these will be easier (to give). Some ask for
transdermal formulations, which are medications in a cream/ointment format that you rub on the
inside of the ear. My favorites (for medical eectiveness) are pills or capsules."
Scherk explains that "using a liquid, some of the dose remains in the syringe or dropper, and a
lot of times the liquid that is delivered dribbles out of the cat's mouth. So, some of the dose is on
the furniture, on Fluy's chin and on the owner. Not so great.
"Even though we can get many medications compounded with avors that cats like, such as
tuna, chicken, beef, or liver, these specially formulated liquids are often not stable for the full duration that the cat needs them," Scherk says. "The same goes for medicated chews. Unfortunately,
there's no assurance of stability or quality in any compounded product. "
Scherk says many transdermal products haven't been tested. Of the approximately one dozen
transdermals that have been evaluated, only three actually get into the blood stream at therapeutically eective doses.
The editor of the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery, Scherk says, "Traditional pills/capsules
deliver a known dose. I like that. But there is a technique to getting them into a reluctant kitty. Trust
me; I've pilled hundreds of cats! You're using Pill Pockets, and they are terric in most cases." But
Scherk also has another idea.
"If the pill doesn't have an outrageously obnoxious avor and if kitty has a soft spot for a particular kind of canned 'junk' cat food, using an inexpensive pill crusher from the drug store, you can

crush the pill into powder and mix it into a small, appetizer-size portion of the yummy food (your cat)
doesn't get as her main diet. Or try anchovy paste, Cheese Whiz, salmon cream cheese, smooth
peanut butter, plain yogurt; all depending on what kitty thinks is fabulous."
For cats for whom this doesn't work, you can certainly use a pilling device, or so-called "pilling
gun," available online and at some pet stores. Remember to ush the pill down with a bit of water,
tuna juice or clam juice. Even when pilling by hand, you need that liquid chaser so pills don't stick
in your kitty's throat.
Be quick and condent delivering pills, which may take practice. And reward your kitty with a
special treat afterward.
As for pet sitters, some are more experienced at pilling cats than others. Consider a test run. Invite
the pet sitter over and see how he or she handles giving meds to your pet. Or hire Dr. Scherk for
the job!
My daughter's 5-month-old kitten goes from being an angel one minute to being
the devil the next. The kitten follows her around all day, and is more attached to
her than her husband. Every few days, though, the kitten pees on the carpet, my daughter's
clothing, purse, or other belongings.
My daughter and her husband also have a female cat who isn't a problem. They have limited money and are worried that if the kitten keeps peeing outside the litter box, they'll have
to give him up to a shelter. The plan is to have him neutered. Will this will help to solve the
problem? Do you have any other advice? - S.H., Coplay, PA
Absolutely, your daughter should have the kitten neutered. New York City-based certied
cat behavior consultant Beth Adelman notes that many communities have at least one
clinic oering low cost spay/neuter (even free to those eligible). Meanwhile, your veterinarian can
rule out any contributing medical explanation.
Use an enzymatic cleaning product (not one that merely masks odors) where the kitten has relieved
himself on the carpet.
"The two cats may get along ne, as you suggest," says Adelman. "But with cats, relationships may
be uid and not always as positive as you think, especially if (you ever see) the older cat staring at the
younger one or blocking access (to the litter box). In any case, having two or even three litter boxes
is ideal. Locate one box where the boy is hanging out, and close to the places he has accidents,
if possible. He's young and may be too intimidated to use the box when the older cat is nearby."
Your kitten may (or not) be a tad anxious. Either way, playing with him using an interactive toy for
a few minutes a couple of times daily can be a great stress-buster.
Whatever is prompting your kitten to go outside the box, he's not doing it "on purpose." He's
merely trying to cope.
If these tips don't solve the problem, contact your veterinarian or a certied cat behavior consultant.

Detective skills an added requirement for doctors making diagnoses

Every Patient Tells


a Story: Medical

Mysteries and the Art of


Diagnosis
by Lisa Sanders, M.D.
Nonction (available at
the Lima Public Library,
Nonction Call Number
616.075 SAN)
Publisher Broadway
Books, 2009; Paperback

In Every Patient Tells a Story, Lisa Sanders,


who is the technical advisor to the television
show House, M.D., explains how doctors make
diagnoses, and how tools, methods and education have changed. Doctors in the past used
physical exams as a tool to help them make a
diagnosis, but success in medicine sometimes
has unexpected consequences.
Cases are revealed where doctors have to step
into the role of detective and overcome strange
symptoms, unexpected findings, and a slew of
other hurdles to fit the pieces of the medical
puzzle together. Sometimes finding hidden
clues is essential to help point the doctor in
the direction of an accurate diagnosis.
Its fascinating to read these real-life cases about how doctors discover
their diagnoses often by asking other doctors who have more experience for help. Sanders includes patient stories where answers
remain elusive or death occurs because mistakes are made or
clues are overlooked.
In Blake Crouchs Pines, the little town of Wayward Pines, Idaho, may
be beautiful and at first glance seem like a peaceful paradise, but beware.

Not all is as it appears to be.


Ethan Burke, secret service agent,
has been sent to Wayward Pines to
find out what happened to two agents
who had been sent to the idyllic
town on a special investigation.
Instead of reporting back, the
two agents vanished with no
communication and not a single clue
to their whereabouts. Ethan hates to
leave his wife, Theresa, and son, Ben,
whos only 6, but duty calls and he
must answer.
For people who like weird, creepy
stories, where things are happening
at lightning speed on more than one
level and somethings definitely off but
youre not sure what it is, this book
is a perfect read. The answers Blake
discovers are nothing at all like what
this reader suspected they might be.

VIDEO REVIEWS

The Second Best Marigold Hotel conrms why original movie was a hit
STARTING THIS WEEK:
THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL: Marking one of the rare times such
a lm has gotten a sequel, this follow-up to - what else? - The Best Exotic Marigold
Hotel conrms what a popular hit the original movie was, exceeding the expectations for
it. Richard Gere joins returnees Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy and Dev Patel as
plans are initiated for a second such resort. Sonny (Patel) keeps running into roadblocks,
some of which are caused by his trying to arrange his wedding at the same time, so he
seeks help from some familiar characters and faces. Celia Imrie and Ronald Pickup also
are back in the cast, and director John Madden and writer Ol Parker reprise their jobs
from the rst picture. DVD extras: making-of documentaries; photo gallery. (PG:
AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray)
THE LONGEST RIDE: The faces may be dierent, but all the basics of a Nicholas Sparks
love story are present in this drama, in which the author makes a romantic pair of a rodeo
rider (Scott Eastwood, Clints son) and an art student (Britt Robertson, of Tomorrowland
and Under the Dome). Their relationship - which inevitably runs into complications parallels that of an older man (Alan Alda) who recounts his own history with love to them,
giving this a sense of Sparks hugely popular The Notebook. The cast also includes
Oona Chaplin, Jack Huston, Lolita Davidovich and Melissa Benoist, who is soon to be
TVs Supergirl. (PG-13: AS, N, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray)

An easy, elegant
summertime
dessert

Similar to
tiramisu,
ingredients for
semifreddo
include sugar,
cocoa, eggs,
espresso,
whipped cream
and ladyngers.

By Wolfgang Puck

Mention summertime desserts, and the rst thing people usually


think of is ice cream. Youd have to travel far and wide to nd anyone
who doesnt love a scoop or two of their favorite vanilla, chocolate,
mint chip or cookies-and-cream, sitting on top of a cone or maybe
in a dish topped with hot fudge and whipped cream.
Good ice cream is more popular than ever, with shops popping up
everywhere selling gourmet frozen desserts. But premium ice creams
can come at steep prices, turning a simple, warm-weather pleasure
into what can seem like a major investment.
So why not make ice cream at home? Sure, I love to do that. But
for a change of pace, and for those home cooks who might not have
an ice-cream machine, Id like to introduce you to another kind of
frozen dessert that doesnt require any special equipment beyond
a stand mixer - something dedicated home bakers already own - or
an inexpensive hand-held electric mixer. The dessert is called semifreddo, a traditional Italian-style preparation thats creamy, cool and
delicious like the best ice cream.
Semifreddo literally means partially frozen, a reference to the
fact that the dessert (which, in fact, is usually served completely frozen, straight from the freezer) has a pleasingly soft, light texture that
may make you think it has spent some time thawing on the kitchen
counter. Thats because its made from two separate, rich yet uy
mixtures: a combination of sugar syrup, gelatin and beaten eggs,
and simple whipped cream folded together to produce a smooth,
airy concoction that freezes perfectly.
The version of semifreddo Im sharing was originally developed
about 18 years ago when I opened the Beverly Hills location of my
restaurant Spago. The way the mixture is layered with espressosoaked ladyngers - light sponge cookies you can nd packaged
in well-stocked supermarkets - inside a widely available springform
pan turns it into something that resembles the traditional Viennese
cake called a Malako torte, which once frozen and unmolded is
cut into serving wedges. But you could just as easily leave out the
ladyngers and freeze the dessert even more simply in a loaf pan, to
be unmolded onto a platter and then cut into slices for serving. The
semifreddo will keep well in your freezer, covered with plastic wrap,
for up to three days.
However you choose to form and present it, I think youll nd my
semifreddo surprisingly easy to make - and so good youll want to
prepare it again and again whenever you feel like a dessert to help
you beat the summer heat.

CHOCOLATE-ESPRESSO SEMIFREDDO
Serves 8

1 1/2 cups (375 mL) sugar


3/4 cups water, plus two tablespoons
1 1/4 cups (310 mL) strong brewed espresso
1/2 cup (125 mL) whole milk
1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
1 teaspoon unavored gelatin, dissolved in 2
teaspoons of water
2 ounces (60 g) bittersweet chocolate,
chopped
4 large eggs
1/4 cup (60 mL) light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) heavy cream
18 dry ladyngers
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa, for
sprinkling
Raspberries, for serving
Unsweetened whipped cream, for serving

INC. DISTRIBUTED BY TRIBUNE CONTENT
AGENCY, LLC.

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (250 mL) of the sugar with


3/4 cup (185 mL) of water and 1/4 cup (60 mL) of the espresso.
Bring to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring to dissolve
the sugar. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside this
espresso syrup to cool.
Meanwhile, in another small saucepan, boil the remaining
espresso over high heat until reduced to 1/4 cup (60 mL), about
8 minutes. Pour into a medium heatproof bowl. Rinse and dry
the saucepan.
In the same saucepan, warm the milk with the vanilla bean and
seeds over medium heat until bubbles form around the edge,
about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin
mixture until melted. Discard the vanilla bean. Add the hot milk
to the reduced espresso. Add the chocolate and whisk until it
has melted and blended in.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer, beat the eggs at high speed until light yellow
and foamy.
In the small saucepan, bring the corn syrup, the remaining sugar and 2 tablespoons of water to a simmer. Cook over
medium-high heat until the syrup registers 235 F (113 C) on a
candy thermometer, about 5 minutes.
With the mixer at medium high speed, gradually pour the hot
syrup into the eggs. Continue beating until the mixture is very
pale and has tripled in volume, about 4 minutes. With a rubber
spatula, gently fold in the espresso mixture
In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until sti peaks form. Fold the
cream into the egg mixture until no streaks remain.
Spoon about one-fourth of the mixture into a 9-inch springform
pan. Dip 6 ladyngers into the espresso syrup until just soaked
through. Arrange the ladyngers in rows on top. Repeat the
process two more times, then top with the remaining mixture.
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours.
Before serving, warm a thin, sharp knife under hot water.
Unclasp the ring on the springform pan; then, run the heated
blade around the edge of the semifreddo and remove the ring.
With a small, ne-meshed sieve, sift the cocoa over the top of
the semifreddo. With the heated blade, cut the semifreddo into
wedges and serve on chilled plates, garnished with raspberries
and whipped cream.

Unrivaled

Columbus most famous


burger establishment
gains nationwide stardom

COLUMBUS - To get a burger in Columbus could mean a stop


at any number of restaurants, from national chains to local family
establishments.
To get a burger at The Thurman Cafe is to sample
a piece of Ohio legend.
Opened in 1942, The Thurman Cafe, or
just simply Thurmans was originally founded as a simple bar. It
didnt take long, however, for
founder Nick Suclescy to
turn the place into much
more - a haven for his
familys gargantuan grill
creations.
Thats no hyperbole. Each burger at
Thurmans feature
three-quarter pound
patties, and that just
includes the meat.
When you factor in
the overload of toppings you get on each
Thurman original, each bite
can become quite the arm
workout.
There isnt just one way to do a
Thurman, either. The cafes menu
lists 21 dierent burgers, starting with
the original Thurman burger. Other specialties include the Tabasco-drenched Blazin
Burger, the tequila-spiked Johnny Burger, and the infamous Thurmanator.
The Thurmanator carries the responsibility of being the menus biggest star, and it doesnt disappoint. Chefs, or burger technicians,

as they are called at the cafe, stack the behemoth with mayo, lettuce,
tomato, pickle, banana peppers, 12 ounce burger, bacon, cheddar,
another 12 ounce burger, sauted mushrooms and onions, ham, mozzarella and American cheese.
If the caricature youre painting of this burger in your brain includes
an equally intimidating hulking human being holding it, then you should
be delighted in knowing your caricature is accurate. The Thurmanator
was created with bodybuilders in mind, particularly the ones who
come through Columbus each March for the Arnold Sports Festival
bodybuilding competition.
Those who participate in this competition require a pretty dramatic
amount of protein, and youd be hard-pressed nding a more massive protein punch than a burger with a pound and a half of ground
beef on it. The mighty Thurmanator will set bodybuilders and mortals
alike back about $20.
If pound upon pound of hamburger meat isnt your thing, Thurman
still isnt likely to fail you. Their menu is also lined with jumbo chicken
wings and thinner than thin crust pizza, along with their also famous
Kostas Coney Island hot dogs, topped with a sauce that has been
a secret family recipe since 1942. Thurmans also features a variety of hot subs, the most notable standout of which being their
Thurmandelphia, which is something of a cross between a philly
cheese steak and a gyro.
Unsurprisingly, this kind of burger power hasnt had to hurt for attention over the years. It has made best of the best lists with both the
Food Network, Ohio Magazine and CitySearch, and was featured in a
2008 episode of the Travel
Channels Man vs. Food.
The Thurman Cafe is
located in the German
Village area of Columbus.
It is open from
11 a.m. to 2:30 a.m.
daily.
