Hillebrand Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is honoring the memory of Kristan Strutz by raising money to provide for the future of her four children. The Bridgetown nursing center is hosting the “Walk for Kristan’s Kids,” a 5K benefit walk/run on Saturday, May 8, at Veterans Park, 6231 Harrison Ave., in Green Township. Registration begins at 9 a.m., and the walk starts at 10 a.m. The cost to take part in the walk is $15 per person. Strutz, the Delhi Township woman who was murdered last August, worked as a certified nursing assistant at Hillebrand for several years. Her husband, John Strutz, was found guilty of murder April 20 by Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge John “Skip” West. “Kristan was an exceptional person we want to honor,” said Daniel Suer, Hillebrand’s administrator. “She was a really friendly person who had a great personality. She always had a smile on her face, and she was very well liked around here.” Suer said dealing with the loss of Strutz has been incredibly trying on the staff and residents at Hillebrand, so the center decided to organize the walk as a way to honor Strutz and help her children. He said Strutz leaves behind four children, three of whom have cystic fibrosis. One of the children has cerebral palsy. Kristan’s parents, Bernie and

Hillebrand Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Bridgetown, where Strutz worked, is organizing a walk to benefit an education fund for Strutz’s four children. Karen Broering of Delhi Township, have taken custody of the children – Aaron, 10; Arielle, 7; Allison, 5; and Abigail, 2 – and have the task of supporting them for the rest of their lives. “All four of the children have some serious health care needs,” Suer said. “We want to help them.” He said the staff at Hillebrand would like to use the event as a vehicle to begin focusing on the children’s education.

Suer said the business community has been very supportive of the fundraiser, and in addition to the walk, the event will also feature a silent auction of gift baskets donated by area businesses.

Primary challenge By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Before U.S. Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-1st District) can set his sights on facing Steve Chabot in November he’ll first have to overcome a challenge from within his own party. Mount Auburn resident Eric Wilson is challenging Driehaus in the May 4 primary. Wilson did not respond to an email requesting an interview. Wilson has run for office before. He ran as a write-in congressional candidate in the 2008 general election and received 85 votes. Driehaus won the 2008 election with 151,913 votes. Wilson also ran in the 2005 Cincinnati City Council election, finishing 19th. In the 2003 city council election he finished 24th. Driehaus, of West Price Hill, said the state of Ohio has a great

election system, and he welcomes Wilson into the primary. “Anyone who gets 50 signatures on a petition, and is a registered voter, Driehaus can get on the primary ballot,” he said. “That’s the way it should be. We shouldn’t have any impediments to running for Congress.” Driehaus said he deserves to be the Democratic candidate in November, however, because he’s worked hard to help pass legislation to get the country back on the right track. He said he’s voted for projects to create jobs, supported health care reform after making sure federal funding would not be spent on abortions and has stood firm against his party to control spending.

Nominate top athletes “I think I’ve gone to Washington and I’ve done what I said I was going to do,” he said. “I have certainly done my best to represent all the constituents of the 1st District.” Driehaus said he’s worked to secure funding to save 1,000 jobs at General Electric, secured funding to help renovate the Brent Spence Bridge and funding to get the Banks project along Cincinnati’s river front off the ground. He said he also helped Chiquita negotiate a contract with European unions. “Things are moving, in large part because of what we’ve been able to accomplish in Washington,” he said. “I’m proud to represent Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio, and I will continue to be a strong advocate for us.”

Cincinnati Police Department’s West Side district has a new commander. Capt. Russell Neville took over the reigns as District 3 commander Sunday, April 25. He replaces Capt. Kimberly Frey, who was reassigned to lead the department’s training section. Frey served as the District 3 commander for nearly three years. Neville said he is very passionate about the new role he is assuming and realizes there are challenges facing the community. He said he looks forward to working with residents and neighborhood organizations to find solutions for keeping the west-side safe. “This has been my dream since I entered the police academy,” he said. “I absolutely love the west side of Cincinnati.” Neville, a Green Township resident and graduate

“Starkey hearing aids didn t just improve my hearing, they changed my life.”
of Western Hills High School, is entering his 24th year in law enforcement. A f t e r Neville graduating from the police academy in July 1987 he was assigned to patrol in District 4 for two years and then transferred to District 3. He was promoted to sergeant in 1995 and served as a supervisor in District 1, in the Central Vice Control Section’s street corner unit and pharmaceutical diversion squad and in the Internal Investigations Section. In 2004, he was promoted to lieutenant and became a relief commander in District 3, where he served for two years. Neville was transferred back to the Internal Investigations Section in 2006, and in 2008 he was promoted to the rank of captain and became night chief with department-wide command responsibility during evening and overnight hours. Fran Cihon, of the department’s public information office, said Neville’s performance as night chief earned the praise of the patrol bureau commander for his excellent communication skills; for his positive working relationships with the lieutenants; and for
establishing himself as a resource for line officers, both to provide them with information and Frey to aid their professional development. Since January 2009, Neville has served as commander of the Information Technology Management Section. Two key projects – crime surveillance cameras and expanded utility for the license plate reader – have progressed under his leadership in the technology management section. Cihon said Neville has shared the department’s successful application of technology in modern law enforcement as a speaker at the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference, and with publication of an article in “Police Chief Magazine.” Neville, who volunteers as the strength trainer for the Oak Hills High School wrestling team and coaches knothole baseball at St. Antoninus, was a member of the Ohio Attorney General’s Organized Crime Investigation Commission, and he is a graduate of the 100th Administrative Officers Course of the Southern Police Institute at the University of Louisville, where he was a Dean’s Scholar.
Law enforcement is a very strong tradition in his family. His father, former District 3 Capt. Gary Neville, and his uncles, Lt. Roger Hildebrand and Lt. Mark Hildebrand, are all retired Cincinnati Police officers. His brother, Capt. Michael Neville, and two sisters, Capt. Teresa Theetge and Police Specialist Joyce Neville-Lipps, currently serve with the department. Two more family members serve with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office; his brother, Lt. Rick Neville, and brother-in-law Deputy Eric Laeace. Capt. Russell Neville said he enjoys working in law enforcement because it allows him to interact with people, both inside and outside of the department. “I enjoy helping people who want to be helped,” he said. Sgt. Danita Kilgore, spokeswoman for the department, said it’s routine for bureau commanders, commanders and officers to be moved around within the department. She said transferring personnel gives officers the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of areas in law enforcement, and is part of the department’s personnel development program. “It’s standard procedure in the police department,” she said.

Bill Hemmer to host George Knittle golf classic May 17 The seventh annual George Knittle Memorial Bayley Place Golf Classic, hosted by Fox News Anchor Bill Hemmer, will be Monday, May 17, at the Western Hills Country Club. An incorrect date was listed in last week’s Western Hills Press. The golf outing raises for Bayley Place residents and Eldermount Adult Day Program members in need. The outing begins with registration at 10 a.m. and a shotgun start at 11 a.m. Cocktail reception and awards immediately follow the golf outing. Cost of the outing is $200. “The tournament provides good exposure for what Bayley Place does. We consider it a family event,” Hemmer said. “To be associated with such a fantastic organization fills my family with pride.” Hemmer’s grandparents, George and Helen Knittle, were long time residents of Bayley Place. Many residents and members are no longer able to afford the full cost of their care. Bayley Place lives strongly by the belief that no resident or member shall be asked to leave nor will any facet of his or her care be jeopardized due to a lack of funds.

Fox News Anchor Bill Hemmer will return as host for the seventh annual George Knittle Memorial Bayley Place Golf Classic on Monday, May 17, at the Western Hills Country Club. Here he greets Bayley Place resident and fellow Elder alumnus Steve Gunn at last year’s golf classic As a result, they provide charitable care assistance, which totals nearly $1.5 million annually and the need continues to grow. Hemmer, who grew up on Cincinnati’s west side said his family can’t brag enough about Bayley Place. “My grandparents were special. They deserved a special place to call home, and they had it here at Bayley Place. Papa was a special man. He loved people. At the age of 100, he was
still making new friends and new memories,” Hemmer said. “My grandmother had crippling health issues for the last 10 years. At Bayley Place, she experienced love and comfort. “It’s my hope all seniors can have the same quality of care,” said Hemmer.

Family recalls Kristan Strutz’s zest for life Gannett News Service Kristan Strutz wasn’t trash to be left at the curb. “Her whole life was making other people happy,” said cousin Lindsey Hennies-Frimming, 25, of Sayler Park. She and Strutz were the only female cousins on their side of the family and even though Strutz – who grew up Kristan Marie Broering – was four years older, they hung out
of killing his wife and cutting her into pieces. Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge John “Skip” West, hearing the trial without a jury, found Strutz guilty Tuesday on all counts and will sentence him May 18. Frimming and others in her family have sat through the trial and listened to the horrific facts surrounding the case. They cried Monday when John Strutz took the stand to proclaim his innocence. They don’t know the Kristan Strutz her husband described on the stand Monday. They remember the little girl who was the apple of her grandfather’s eye, the precocious girl with the infectious laugh, the woman who loved with all she had and gave all she had for her four children, a son and the three daughters she had with the man accused of killing her. “She was the first grandchild in the Hausfeld family,” said aunt Becky Hausfeld, of Delhi Township. “There were six of us (siblings) and when she came along, we were all mesmerized. “She was just so happy around everybody. Her smile, we were so in love.” Grandfather Carl Hausfeld spoiled his first grandchild and didn’t care who knew it. “She was just so outgoing, so different from us. We
together all the time. Strutz was helping stage Frimming’s bridal shower the weekend of Aug. 15 when husband John Strutz called to report his wife missing. The next day, Kristan Strutz’ torso was found in a garbage can at the family’s Delhi Township home. Her husband was arrested, charged with murder, gross abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. He was accused

As a teen, she was driving past her high school – Oak Hills – one day and waving to her school friends. Not looking, she accidentally hit the back of a Green Township police cruiser with her car. “When she got home, she was crying but she also was laughing. She said, ‘Of all the cars to hit, I hit a Green Township cruiser,’ “ Hausfeld said. Her best friend was her cousin Lindsey. They grew up together, had fun together, played together, got into trouble together, doubledated together. The last time they went out before Kristan Strutz, 28, was killed and dismembered, they gave each other fake names, pretended they

were other people – especially to each other – and had a blast. Kristan Strutz became “Claudia” and Frimming became “Lucy.” “The mischief we would get into” Frimming said before giggling. A human anti-depressant for her family, Kristan Strutz took to people. She and her mother, Karen Broering, became best friends and constant companions with her mom, a nurse, taking daughter to meet some of her patients. “She was very good with people,” Hausfeld said. “She was just a bright spirit. That’s probably what attracted John to her because he was so down.” Frimming noted how Kristan Strutz often did for others. The last time she saw her cousin, Frimming said, Kristan Strutz, who was on
crutches from a recent foot surgery, was standing in the kitchen, leaning against the counter without her crutches and baking a cake for a friend’s birthday. She also remembered Frimming’s birthday – the day after Valentine’s Day – by making her chocolate-covered strawberries every year. “Her whole life,” Frimming said of her cousin who worked at Green Township’s Hillebrand Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, “she was making other people happy.” For a while, one of those was John Strutz. After meeting, Strutz married Kristan Broering – who was seven months pregnant and also had a child when she was 16 – and they quickly had three daughters together. “She was just such a hopeless romantic. She was so devoted to John and the kids. She put her whole heart into everything,” Frimming said. “It didn’t matter what kind of mood you were in, she would make it better. She held the whole family together.” Her four children now live with her mother. “It became apparent to me that she had them when she did,” Frimming said, “because she didn’t have much time.” John Strutz faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.

“That place is special for a lot of people. It’s very, very neat.” The Civic Club recently recognized St. William for its continued commitment and dedication to making West Price Hill a great place to live, work and play. The parish was named the winner of the club’s 2010 Spirit of West Price Hill Award. Armstrong said the club established the award two years ago to honor individuals, businesses and organizations who have committed a great deal of time and effort to improving the community and making the neighborhood everything it can be. He said St. William has played a key role in educating children in Price Hill since its inception a century ago, and the school continues to lay the foundation for success and good citizenship for every child enrolled today. St. William has stood strong and proud at West Eighth Street and Sunset Avenue, and the church and bells signify the tradition of generations of westside families who’ve found faith and life lessons at the parish. Armstrong said the architecture of the church itself is indicative of the culture, pride and work ethic of west-siders. The Rev. Andrew Umberg, pastor of St. William, said it was an unexpected and wonderful honor to be recognized by the Price Hill Civic Club.

Delhi residents return in full-length play Golf helps out Delhi Skirt Game The 2010 Kenny Lipp’s Annual Cops, Kids ‘n Firefighters Golf Outing will be Saturday, May 1, at Hillview Golf Course on Wesselman Road in Green Township. The outing is sponsored by the Delhi Skirt Game. This golf outing was started in 2001 by one of the original founders of the Skirt Game Ken Lipps. He was a full-time member of the Delhi Fire Department until his retirement in the mid1990s. Lipps wanted to find a way for the organization to raise some additional money outside of the Skirt Game itself and he loved to golf. The event starts with hot dogs and snacks before tee-off and at the turn, and ends with a steak dinner at the golf course shelter. The entry fee per golfer is $75 and also includes
four hole-in-one contests. There will be different prizes at three of the par-3 holes and on the 18th hole, the prize is $1,000 that goes to the hole-inone winner and the Skirt Game also receives $1,000. This hole is sponsored by Huntington Bank. This is the first year that the money raised from this event will go exclusively for what was called the Delhi Kids ‘n Cops program. This program was started in 2009 and the inaugural event helped 23 families with 84 kids. This event was held at Target. Food baskets were also provided to the families and they were obtained from one of the event’s major sponsors, Delhi bigg’s. This outing is being heavily supported by the Delhi Police and Firefighters. For more info, go to www.delhiskirtgame.org.
Delhi Township resident Mike Burke’s first foray into directing was the one-act version of “Pvt. Wars” by James McClure. Fifteen years later, he is directing the full-length version for the same theater group, Sunset Players. The play will be presented over three weekends, Fridays and Saturdays only, at 8 p.m. April 30 and May 1, and May 7 and 8 and 14 and 15, at the Dunham Recreation Center, 4356 Dunham Lane. “It’s a deceptively simple play about three soldiers recovering from injuries,” says Burke. “But if the audience is paying attention they will not only laugh but they’ll see the deeper lessons revealed.” Cast member and fellow West Sider Joe Luckey agrees. “The humor in the play tends to make the audience forget the underlying tragedy of what’s being presented,” says Luckey. “In fact, the play is so funny that I’ve had trouble not breaking up during rehearsal. I’m working on it.” Set in the Vietnam Era, “Pvt. Wars” remains rele-
vant in this post 9/11 world. In addition to Luckey, the cast includes theater veterans Ray Smith and Jerry Yearout. Sunset Players, in operation for more than 25 years out of the Dunham Recreation Center Arts Building, has moved productions to the gym while repairs are under way in the arts building. The move required the group to rethink its remaining season, especially in terms of set requirements. “The ultimate goal is to create a true arts center for the west side of town,” says Yearout. “One that would not only serve as the Sunset Players home but also as a base for events, galleries, music and dance.” Tickets are $9 ($8 seniors and groups) and can be purchased at the door or reserved by calling 513588-4988. For more information about “Pvt. Wars” or the future of the Dunham Recreation Center Arts Building, contact the Sunset Players or the Dunham Advisory Board, 4356 Dunham Lane, Cincinnati, 45238.

their B-25 bombers from the deck of the USS Hornet early in the morning of April 18, 1942. They bombed targets in Japan before heading toward China. That’s where Griffin, a navigator, bailed out. Many of his fellow Raiders never made it home. Of those who did, only eight remain. In an adventure along the lines of an Indiana Jones tale, Griffin miraculously returned to the states. But not for long. Uncle Sam sent him off to war again. This time, in Europe. His plane was shot down over Italy on July 4, 1943. He spent the rest of the war in a prisoner of war camp. George Petrou, 87 years old and legally blind, held onto his cane as he took them to the Battle of Okinawa, which, on this day 65 years ago, raged in the South Pacific. Petrou, from Green Township, served as a
boatswain’s mate aboard the USS Hornet.

They once dined on Uncle Sam’s powdered eggs, Churchill’s canned corned beef and Hitler’s brick-hard bread. Sixty-five years later, these World War II GI Joes – part of 68 members of the Hornet Breakfast Group – feasted on thick French toast, tender sausage links and fluffy scrambled eggs at the Colerain Township IHOP. The vets meet on the first Friday of every month, in a back room of the pancake house. They’ve been getting together since 1993 after a group of World War II veterans who served aboard the USS Hornet aircraft carrier met to plan a reunion. The monthly session is highly informal: no rules, no bylaws and lots of laughs.” Starting at 7 a.m., they compare wartime menus and memories about their service in Europe and the Pacific, as well as later conflicts in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. “This is a special bunch,” said former Navy nurse Bonnie Rost. The 76-yearold Mount Airy resident attends for the friendship she says has become a fellowship. Many of the older vets come in clutching canes and leaning on walkers. Some struggle to get to their feet to tell their story. Once standing, however, they become empowered by the past. With every tale, the teller takes the listeners on a journey. They are transported from the IHOP’s back room to a far-off battlefield. “In April of 1945 – 65 years ago – I was in a German prisoner of war camp just north of Munich,” recalled Tom Griffin of Green Township. “The Germans fed us bread that was so hard, if you put some plaster on it you could build a house that would last 40 years.” The vets gathered on this particular Friday morning to meet their guest of honor, author Jonna Doolittle Hoppes. She’s the granddaughter of Jimmy Doolittle,
who led the daring 1942 air raid over Tokyo that put the Japanese on edge and buoyed the Petrou spirit of Americans back home. Hoppes was in town to interview vets from the big war for her next book, “Just Doing My Job, Too.” It’s the sequel to her 2009 work, “Just Doing My Job: Stories of Service from World War II.” With every interview, she finds each veteran’s “story is important, whether it goes in a museum, or in a letter to a grandchild.” Each story reminds her, she said, “of how much we owe these veterans.” Hoppes sat next to Griffin. Her “Gramps” was his “Boss” in the Doolittle Raiders. Eighty raiders took off in

Seton High School
Sophomore Alyssa Kaine won first prize in the College of Mount St. Joseph 14th annual High School Sophomore Writing Contest. The contest has three categories – personal essay, poetry and fiction – and Kaine is open to sophomores throughout Northern Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. Kaine’s work, titled “Coffee, Chaos, and Connections,” won the fiction category. It was based on a group of people who go to the Front Porch Coffeehouse to escape from their everyday lives. It talks about how a sudden blizzard traps them in the coffeehouse and how everyone must use their talents as a way to escape. Kaine says the story was based on her dad being a co-owner of the Front Porch Coffeehouse and how much she loves sitting there, seeing everyone come in.
Academic All-Stars
Elder and Oak Hills high schools are two of the 16 teams that qualified for the Southwest Regional of the 2010 Ohio Academic Competition at Cincinnati State Technical & Community College. The top two finishers in the regional will advance to the state finals in May.
In sessions similar to old television game show quizzes, students on these academic teams compete to see who can answer questions fastest and most accurately. The questions asked range from history to literature, science to spelling, mythology to mathematics. • Coaches in the Greater Cincinnati Academic League have announced the first and second All-Academic teams. More than 240 students participated in the GCAL during the past school year. Members of the first team include Andrew Condia, Elder High School; and Mariele Fluegeman, Mother of Mercy High School.

Oldtimers to induct 5 new members By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
The 58th Annual Price Hill Baseball Oldtimers Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be 6 p.m., Wednesday, May 5, at The Farm, 239 Anderson Ferry Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45238. Five new members will be inducted into the Hall of Fame; among them are Dennis Martin, Fred “Wiz” Meyer (posthumously), Roy Nixon, Russ Nixon and Dick Welage. In addition, three local student-athletes – Donnie Ballou of Western Hills, Jason Handley of Oak Hills and Tim O’Conner of Elder – will be honored for their excellence in both the classroom and their respective fields of play. The guest speaker for the event is George Foster, a member of the 1970s Big Red Machine. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Call Mike Kunnen at 921-9000 to order tickets. Here are profiles for all five of the soon-to-beinducted members: • Dennis Martin – A 1965 Elder grad, Martin played freshman basketball and ran cross country for three years for the Panthers but found the most success on the diamond. He helped Elder to a league title in 1964 and a second-place GCL finish in 1965. Martin played on the Xavier University freshman team in 1966 – when freshmen were ineligible for varsity – before jumping to varsity in 1967 and 1968. The team was invited to the NCAA Tournament in 1967. Martin, who graduated in three years, later earned his master’s in education from XU in 1973. From 1970 to 1998, he taught at Finneytown, where he coached varsity basketball from 1988 to 1997. He currently teaches at St. Xavier and coaches the JV basketball team, which he has led to a 187-

Martin, who attended St. Vincent de Paul grade school and taught at St. Martin grade school from 1968 to 1970, helped his son, Scott, coach St. X to a state basketball title in 2000. Martin has been married to his wife, Janet, for nearly 42 years. They currently live in White Oak. • Fred “Wiz” Meyer – Born in 1920, Meyer, who attended St. Teresa grade school, was an all-city performer in baseball, basketball and football for Elder. He received a football scholarship to XU, where he played for one year before getting drafted into the Army. He was inducted into the LaRosa’s Hall of Fame with Roger Staubach, Don Zimmer and Robin Freeman. He was married to Mary Ann Drennan, with whom he had three sons (Fritz, Jerry and Tim) and one daughter (Gale). Meyer is considered to be one of the best – if not the best – all-around athletes to ever come out of Elder. • Roy Nixon – A 1953 Western Hills grad, Roy was an all-city first baseman in 1952 and 1953. As a sen-
ior, he won the city batting title and pitched a no-hitter; it was the only game he pitched that season. He also played knothole for Columbia Power (Class B) in Cleves in 1947 and Eagle Savings & Loan (Class A) in Cheviot in 1950. He played two years for Bentley Post, winning nationals in 1952. As a professional, he played in the Cleveland Indians’ minor-league system for nearly five years. He has been married to Arlene Clifton for 54 years. Clifton is the daughter of Herman Clifton, who played for the Detroit Tigers from 1935 to 1937. Roy and Arlene have five children – Kirk, Lori, Julie, Vicky and Keith – and currently live in Harrison. • Russ Nixon A 1953 Western Hills grad, Russ spent 55 years in professional baseball. As a player, Russ spent time with the Cleveland Indians (195760), the Boston Red Sox (1960-65, 1968) and the Minnesota Twins (196667). He hit a career-high .301 in 1958 and was catching when Roger Maris hit his then record-breaking 61st home run in 1961. Russ played in 906 games over the course of 12 years and holds the record for most games played without

As a manager, Russ spent time with the Cincinnati Reds (1982-83) and the Atlanta Braves (1988-90), but the high point of his coaching career came in 1975, when he helped the Cincinnati Reds win the World Series. He has been married to his wife, Glenda, for 55 years and has four children (Rebel, Chris, Misty and Samantha). He currently lives in Las Vegas. • Dick Welage – Born in 1936, Welage was an allcity performer in baseball and basketball for Elder. He was a member of the Panthers’ baseball team that won state in 1952 and finished runner-up in 1954. The former pitcher/outfielder played in the minors for the Cincinnati Reds from 1955 to 1957, during which time he compiled a 32-20 record. Welage worked as an electrician for 43 years and has been retired for the last 11. He and his wife, Diane, live in Mason and recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They have three children and eight grandchildren. Here are profiles of the three high-school students who will be recognized: • Donnie Ballou – A fouryear varsity letterman in wrestling, Ballou was a three-time CMAC champion, a three-time district-qualifier and qualified for the state tournament as a senior in the 130-pound division.

Bobcat lacrosse rolling after sluggish start By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
Even after a seasonopening 16-11 loss to Summit Country Day on March 29, Mother of Mercy High School lacrosse coach Mike O’Hara knew his Bobcats would be fine. “I schedule Summit first every year because they’re a good gauge to see how we are,” he said. “They’re a good team, and that was no upset. Actually, I was happy (we were able to keep it close).” Yet Mercy, which started the year 0-2 and 1-4, didn’t rebound right away. After losing to Summit, the Bobcats fell 13-12 at Kings and downed Wyoming 22-19 before suffering their biggest loss of the season – 17-6 at Mount Notre Dame on April 8. “MND is one of the best teams in the state,” O’Hara said. “The only game we shouldn’t have lost was to Kings. We just fell apart at the end.” Mercy, however, responded with a six-game winning streak, which

play.” The Bobcats followed with five wins in nine days over Fenwick (20-13), Lebanon (16-8), McAuley (13-9), Springboro (19-8) and Cincinnati Country Day (17-5). Their streak ended
with a 16-11 loss to St. Ursula April 22. Leading Mercy is senior Chrissy O’Hara, who had scored a city-topping 49 goals entering play against St. Ursula. She also leads the Girls’ Greater Cincinnati Scarlet division in assists goals per game (4.90), assists (21) and assists per game (2.10). “She’s really playing hard,” O’Hara said of his daughter. “She’s had a great attitude.” Chrissy, who used to play basketball and run cross country for Mercy, quit those sports to focus solely on lacrosse. She received scholarship offers from several Division-II and NAIA schools before committing with the College of Mount St. Joseph in recent weeks. Junior Cara O’Connor, meanwhile, is second on the team with 34 goals. “She has a better attitude,” O’Hara said. “She really figured everything out this year.” Unfortunately for Mercy, junior Brittney Janszen, who was third on the team
Time to nominate Sportsmen of Year More than 90,000 votes were cast in last year’s inaugural Community Press and Community Recorder Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year online contest.

overall cohesion. “Their greatest strength is that they play as a team,” he said. “They’re young and small, but they’re quick. They’ve bought into the team concept. Everyone works hard together, and that’s fun to watch.” Mercy (7-4, 2-2), which travels to Seton April 29 before closing the regular season at CHCA May 4 and at Seven Hills May 8, hopes to advance to the regional tournament and get to state. To do so, O’Hara said the Bobcats will have to improve on their transition defense, but he is confident they can make a run. “They want to get to state,” he said. “I’m with them.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rhodes insulting
I am writing this letter in regards to the recent malicious remarks by Kevin Rhodes. For many years I have read his negative opinions concerning various matters and individuals in the Delhi area. I, like many residents, have read these week after week, felt nothing but contempt but did not reply.
Those days are over. Kevin Rhodes crossed the line when referring to Al Duebber as “working hard toward walking on water.” This comment is an insult to people who consider their faith important and precious. Do I agree with everything Mr. Duebber has said? No. However, it would be more difficult to find Delhi residents who have little, if

True conservative, fiscally responsible
Minutes highlight department’s history In September 2010, The Delhi Township Fire Department will commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the department, formerly Delhi Pete Volunteer Fire Department. Pritchard In recognition Community of the sacrifices Press guest of our former columnist members made to establish fire protection in our community and how the organization developed into what it is today; we have combed through the meeting minutes to find interesting historical events that have occurred since 1935. Each month we would like to share a small excerpt of facts taken from our history, and encourage our community to come in and visit the Delhi Fire Museum. The museum is funded through private and corporate donations, and independently run by the Delhi Historical Fire Museum Society. It is open to the public during normal business hours and after hours by appointment. • The new “Dodge” open air cab pumper was delivered to the Engine house on Neeb Road and placed in “temporary” service pending test for acceptance by underwriters. A five man committee was formed to purchase equipment for the new truck. Also on April 18, 1944, during the war years Henry Radel donated an ambulance to the Delhi Fire department. This was the first ambulance for the department. Training started almost immediately and equipment sought to outfit the new vehicle. This was, obviously, a former “Hearse.” The cost of painting the hearse, red, was a $150.00 • April 15, 1947. The department under Chief Rudy Kusar, leased “Greenwood Grove” from St. Johns Evangelical Church at a cost of $800 for the annual “fish fry” to be held in July 1947. Also at the April 15, 1947, meeting minutes from the pumper committee reported that Dick Campbell, salesman, from the company furnishing the new dodge pumper reported that due to the war, which ended nearly two years prior, there was still a shortage of steel to manufacture the new truck. Dick Linneman and Archie Pflanzer asked what kind of steel was needed to get this job going and finished. Campbell replied that four sheets 36 x 96 cold rolled 14-gauge and six sheets “hot” rolled 48 x 120 23gauge would be needed. Campbell stated he would purchase same and see that it was used on helping get our equipment completed. Next order of business was

Delhi Fire Chief Rudy Kusar sits at the radio. communications. A letter from the Delhi Township Civic Association was read extending an invitation to all member of this department to their next meeting. • April 20. 1948. The building committee is waiting on sketches being made of new proposed addition. One sketch has been received up to this date. This is when the department added the second floor and applied red brick to the exterior of the bldg. • April 19, 1949. The building committee reports that if we were to build the new addition to the fire house if would cost us about $3,000. Much discussion ensued about this question as to whether we should build it ourselves or have a builder do the same. A motion was made by Bill Hengehold and second by Herman Hinton to go ahead and build building with a contractor, this motion was not carried. Then Bill Lemey made a motion to build a 14 foot by 38 foot addition to cost approximately $3,000 seconded by Clarence Lipps. A standing vote of 22 yes was counted and no nay votes counted. • April 27, 1951. A meeting was called to talk over a gas tank truck that is for sale. Truck is a 1946 model, 11⁄2 ton Chevrolet, three compartment tank. Asking price is $850. Tanks happen to be in good condition. Some work would have to be done to use the truck for our purposes. Assistant Chief Hengehold stated that they were contemplating selling No. 1 truck (Ahrens-Fox) for $800 and thought that would offset the cost of the tanker. A motion by George Laudenback and seconded by Ott Juergens that we buy the truck in question. Motion carried. • April 17, 1956. Chief Kusar reports on bids on new fire station. (Greenwell Avenue) • April 16, 1957. Discussion of fire runs to eastern end of township. We were still trying to organize ourselves to the operation of two stations. • April 10,1958. Chief Kusar discussed whether there was a need for a new chassis on tank truck. Charles Moser gave various prices of new truck chassis as follows:
Hamco Ford – $2,729 with trade-in Glenway Chevrolet – $2,860.99 with trade in Heil Dodge – $2,736 without trade in International – $ 3,466 without trade-in Joe Kammer requested secret ballot. Assistant Chief Hengehold asked if truck would be changed over by fire department members or to have the work done by outside sources. The following men volunteered to do the work on the truck: Elmer Ohmer, Charlie Moser, Bob Moser, Pete Sehlhorst, Dick Linneman, Jerry Myers, Jack Pflanzer, John Bechtol, Pat Maley, Harry Sehlhorst Jr. Dick Myers and Joe Kammer. • April 21, 1959. Ed Koch reported that the lot on the north side of the firehouse is now for sale at a price of $80 per front foot. Assistant Chief Henghold suggested that a committee be appointed to contact Mr. Seiler, the contractor who owns the lot and confirm the price of the lot. A motion by Bill Henghold and seconded by Dick Myers that the 50foot lot on the north side of the firehouse should be bought or a maximum price of $4,000. • April 21, 1963. A representative of the Plectron Corp. attended our meeting and introduced the “alerting” device to the membership. This device would cost $109.50 each. This was a big step in alerting the volunteer fireman in their homes to coincide with the ringing of the roof siren. Response times increased dramatically under this new system. • April 17, 1966. Don Deller reported for the new truck committee that the department purchased a new 1966 F.W.D. pumper. Delivery of the truck is expected to be in September 1966. • April 16, 1967. Ken Lipps reported that a new 1967 Ford Ranch Wagon has been purchased and also a cot to go with it. This was to be used as a vehicle to run errands in and a backup squad. Pete Pritchard is a part-time Delhi Township firefighter and curator of the department’s museum.
My name is Chris Monzel, a Republican candidate for Hamilton County commissioner. On Tuesday, May 4, the Republican voters in Hamilton County have an opportunity to decide who will best represent the principals and values of our party as county commissioner in the fall election. This election is not just a decision between two candidates. It is a decision on the direction of the Republican Party in Hamilton County and the message put forth. I am a true conservative Republican who is fiscally responsible, believes in individual freedoms, small government, free enterprise and our traditional family values. On the one hand, my opponent represents more of the same, the “go along get along” liberal policies of the county commission. In 2006 she endorsed liberal Democrat David Pepper and actively campaigned to help him win the majority on the county commission for the Democrat Party for the first time in over 40 years. She publicly stated on WLW, that “just because I’m a Republican doesn’t mean anything.” But I strongly disagree. To me, being a Republican does mean something. It means smaller, limited government. It means lower taxes and less government bureaucracy. It means transparency and accountability. It means protecting the unborn and family values. Being a Republican is about this core set of principles and values. This is why I am running for Hamilton County commissioner, to bring these common sense conservative values to the commis-

Dealing with our Whatifs and Worries
“Last night while I lay thinking here, some Whatifs crawled inside my ear, and pranced and partied all night long, and sang their same old Whatif song:… Whatif I start to cry? Whatif I get sick and die? … Whatif nobody likes me? Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?” In this poem in, “A Light in the Attic,” author Shel Silverstein describes many of the worries that beset childhood minds. But don’t forget that the Whatifs grow up with us. For even as adults we have our own Whatifs crawling inside our ears at night, don’t we? For us, their content is different. They suggest such other things such as, “Whatif our love doesn’t last? Whatif the kids grow up too fast? Whatif my job is lost? Whatif I get a rotten boss? Whatif that ache is something serious? Whatif I age and become delirious?
Whatif I didn’t lock the house? Whatif I’m left by my spouse?” Worries are a constantly buzzing around our heads. If we Father Lou take them seriGuntzelman ously, they destroy peace of Perspectives mind, develop suspicions, and diminish enjoyment. They always threaten us with woeful events allegedly waiting around the corner. It doesn’t matter that studies show 80 percent of our worries never happen. Then we worry that the studies are wrong – especially in our case. What to do about handling our worries? First, make the distinction between angst and anxiety. Angst is the German word for the
anticipatory dread that is present in all of us as we recognize just how vulnerable we are. Angst is existential, which means it comes along with existing as a human being. Though we develop strategies to avoid it, there is no person who avoids all worries. So, what to do? For one thing, do not deny the fact that some stress or angst comes along with the living of life. As analyst James Hollis Ph.D. states, “An acceptance of this angst as normal is healthy; its denial is pathological, and will sooner or later result in some lifeestranging behavior, or worse, the trivialization of the journey.” Anxiety, on the other hand, is a free-floating condition which may be activated by almost any specific event in our lives: such as giving a speech before a large crowd, going through an important interview, a court appearance,
a medical operation, a wedding ceremony, etc. Its intensity is partly determined by one’s particular history. The more unsettled one’s family of origin, cultural setting, or environment was, the more anxiety is usually experienced. Beneath an anxiety one is going through there is usually buried a thread that reaches back to a childhood fear. It’s greatly advantageous to us to discover our early fear that still exercises such power over us. To be free entirely of angst or anxiety in our lives is unrealistic. That’s good to remember as we try to contain our worries. It also enables us to have a certain compassion for not only for ourselves but also for others. To possibly alleviate anxiety, someone has remarked that we already know the worst that can happen to us. We will die someday. Can we
be aware of that and still live as fully as possible all the days and years God gives us? Hollis believes we can help ourselves in dealing with our worried anxiety if we (1) accept the normality of anxiety, (2) seek the roots of the identifiable fears in our anxiety, then (3) simply do the best we can in living our lives fully, and forgive the rest. We are more important than what we fear. A great move toward personal liberation is accomplished when we can acknowledge our existential angst directly, know ourselves to be fragile beings clinging to a spinning planet hurtling through space, and at the same time be grateful for such a grand ride.

Air duct cleaning not a necessity, regardless of deal
+,3 25 .1(( $57+5,7,6
I’ve reported on this in the past but feel compelled to do it again because I’m seeing several companies advertising for air duct cleaning. The ads say the companies will clean your air ducts for as little as $39 or $49. But, the need for such cleaning is very questionable. Brent Melvin responded to one such ad for his Amelia house and now says he regrets it. “When I was on the phone I asked them about the ad, about it being $49, and she said, ‘Yes, $49, for the number of vents,’ ” said Melvin. After he ordered the cleaning and the technicians came to his house, they immediately began working and then presented a bill. “They really didn’t explain the bill but said it’s $2,000 to get everything done,” he said. Melvin objected to the cost, which covered everything from cleaning mold they said they found on a brand-new humidifier to cleaning dust mites. The technician then wrote up another bill. Melvin said the technician told him, “Well, if all you want is what we did then it’s going to cost this much.” That price was about
$590, and Melvin says he told them that was still way too high. “I said four or Howard Ain five times, Hey Howard! I said, ‘I don’t have that kind of money,’ ” he said. Melvin said the charge came as quite a surprise. “I said, ‘If I would have known before you did this I wouldn’t have had this done – because that’s why I called you was the ad for $49.’ He said, ‘Well that’s what we did.’ ” Reluctantly, Melvin said he ended up paying $553, because that’s as low as the supervisor on the phone would approve. “I felt like I was kind of forced and I couldn’t say, ‘OK, well leave.’ They were already packing up and getting ready to leave after they did the job,” he said. Later, Melvin inspected the air ducts and found uncovered holes – and vents that will no longer fit into the duct work. “I guess they didn’t put this vent back on and they broke it off and didn’t say anything. I couldn’t put it back up so I just put duct tape over the hole they left,” he said.
Under Ohio law you must be given an estimate for the cost of the work to be performed. The estimate can be either written, oral, or you can sign that you don’t want to get any estimate at all. You just can’t be given a bill after the work is already done. In addition, Ohio law requires you to get a tear-off cancellation form with the contract – a form you send back to the firm within three days if you wish to cancel. Melvin didn’t get a tearoff cancellation form so I told him to write the company and cancel now. He did that and has now received all his money back. The company is also paying for another firm to come over and repair the problems caused by the duct cleaning company. You need to know the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said duct cleaning has never been shown to actually prevent health problems. It said studies show dust adheres to duct surfaces and does not necessarily enter the living space. In fact, the EPA does not recommend air ducts be cleaned routinely.

Eat like a horse with Derby Day recipes the word “farm” never enters my vocabulary, since we don’t own one. Yes, our home sits at the end of an old country road, but unlike some of the homes on the road, ours is fairly new. And you can see my clothes hanging on the line from the highway opposite our field. Although we grow a whole lot of different kinds of produce and have a nice amount of fruit trees, we don’t have a country estate.
I guess it’s a matter of perception. When I talk about my little patch of heaven here in Clermont C o u n t y, Rita s o m e o n e Heikenfeld will usually come up Rita’s kitchen and ask to visit “the farm.” I have to laugh, because
The whole point is you don’t need a plow and the lower 40 to create your own Garden of Eden.
Legendary hot brown
From the Brown Hotel in Louisville. This is the real deal – I called the hotel and verified the recipe. They were so accommodating. I don’t know if I can wait until Derby Day to make this. The notes in parentheses are mine.

Ingredients (Makes two hot browns):
2 ounces butter (1/4 cup) 2 ounces all-purpose flour (1/2 cup) 1 quart heavy cream (I’d use whipping cream) 1 ⁄2 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, plus 1 tablespoon for garnish Salt and pepper to taste 14 ounces sliced roasted turkey breast 2 slices of Texas toast (crust trimmed) 4 slices of crispy bacon 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced in half Paprika and parsley In a two-quart saucepan, melt butter and slowly whisk in flour until combined and forms a thick paste (roux). Continue to cook roux for two minutes over mediumlow heat, stirring frequently. Whisk whipping cream into the roux and cook over medium heat until the cream begins to simmer, about two to three minutes. Remove sauce from heat and slowly whisk in Pecorino Romano cheese until the Mornay sauce is smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. For each Hot Brown, place one slice of toast in an oven safe dish and cover with 7 ounces of turkey.

Take the two halves of Roma tomato and set them alongside the base of turkey and toast. Next, pour one half of the Mornay sauce to completely cover the dish. Sprinkle with additional Pecorino Romano cheese. Place entire dish under a broiler until cheese begins to brown and bubble. Remove from broiler, cross two pieces of crispy bacon on top, sprinkle with paprika and parsley, and serve immediately.
Mint juleps
Make a simple syrup: combine 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar and a generous 1⁄2 cup roughly chopped spearmint leaves in a pan. Bring to a boil and cook until sugar dissolves. Let cool, then strain. Fill your frozen goblets (or even regular glasses, not frozen) with crushed ice and pour about 4 ounces good bourbon and 1⁄4 cup mint syrup in each. Go to taste on this! Top each with a sprig of mint and a straw which has been trimmed to barely come up to the top of the cups.

COURTESY BROWN HOTEL
The hot brown dish made famous by the Brown Hotel in Louisiville. ing a class he taught for me was a delicious grilled shrimp marinade that doubled as a dipping sauce. Here’s how Rick did it: Set a dry skillet over medium heat. Lay 1⁄2 head of unpeeled garlic cloves and 3 serrano chilies in the pan. Roast, turning frequently, for about 10 minutes for the chilies and 15 minutes for the garlic, or until soft and blotchy brown in spots. Let cool until they can be handled, and then slip the skins off the garlic and pull the stems off the chilies and, wearing rubber gloves, roughly chop (no need to remove the seeds). Place in a food processor along with 1 bunch each cilantro and parsley (lower stems removed), 1⁄2 cup olive oil, and up to 2 teaspoons salt. Process until nearly smooth (it will be pasty). Remove 1⁄3 cup and stir in 3 tablespoons water. This will be your extra sauce for dipping, whatever. Use the remaining sauce to brush on shrimp, poultry, beef, etc. and grill as desired.

James headlines hospice benefit
Prize winner
PROVIDED.
Francie Kaiser prepares to take home her door prize from the Easter Egg Hunt at St. John's Westminster Union Church in Delhi Township. More than 150 children took part in the April 3 hunt.
The stage at the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center in Covington will come James alive Thursday, May 13, with entertainment that will appeal to all age groups. Nancy James of Western Hills, who hosted the Northern Kentucky Magazine show on cable for four years and is also well known from the Bob Braun show, will head the lineup. James will sing “Come Rain or Come Shine,” “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” and “All of Me” and give a special salute to Judy Garland. Accompanying her will be the Sound Body Jazz Orchestra, an 18piece group which will also regale audiences with their Big Band sounds. “I am a spokesperson for
Hospice of the Bluegrass, who is sponsoring this concert, so I agreed to be the producer, and put it all together,” James said. “So I called my friend Colleen Sharp, who performed with me during the Bob Braun years, and she also agreed to be part of this concert. We will be doing a duet together, a Rosemary Clooney rendition of ‘On the Road Again.’ ” In addition to James and Sharp, Michael Flannery, who lives in Westwood, will stop by and the Madcap Puppets will also perform. Dare Miller, director of development at Hospice of the Bluegrass, will have a moment at the beginning of the night to welcome everybody to the concert and give a brief synopsis of what her organization is about. “We like the fact that this gives us an upbeat venue to tell people about us,” Miller said. “We are part of the community partnership, and we support people in
Week emphasizes pediatric vaccinations Immunizations are one of the most effective ways to prevent serious illness in children and adults. Pediatric immunization programs in the United States have been quite successful in reducing the number of children affected by a range of highly contagious diseases that were once common in this country. National Infant Immunization Week, April 24 – May 1, is an annual observance to highlight the importance of protecting infants from vaccine-preventable diseases and celebrate the achievements of immunization programs in promoting healthy communities. Vaccines are among the most successful and costeffective public health tools available for preventing disease and death. They not only help protect vaccinated individuals, but also help protect entire communities by preventing and reducing the spread of infectious diseases. Infants are particularly vulnerable to infectious diseases; that is why it is critical to protect them through immunization. “It is especially important for children to be vaccinated on schedule starting at two months and continuing with the basic series at 4, 6, 12
and 15 to 18 months of age,” said Tim Ingram, Health commissioner. “Children who start their immunizations on time are more likely to complete their series by 24 months of age.” Immunizations are extremely safe. Vaccines are thoroughly tested before being approved for public use and monitored carefully by doctors, researchers and public health officials. Vaccines not only prevent disease, they reduce the costs associated with missed time from work, doctor visits and hospitalizations. “I encourage parents to talk with a trusted health care provider about their vaccine questions and concerns,” Ingram said. “Withholding vaccines places the child at risk for actual infection that may have serious damage on the child’s health.” Reliable vaccine information is just a click away at www.cdc.gov or www.aap.org. Also visit Hamilton County Public Health at w w w. h a m i l t o n c o u n t y health.org for immunization schedules, clinic locations and more information to help keep your child healthy.

GUMP-HOLT Funeral Home Importance of Pre-Arrangement
The pre-arranging of a funeral is an important decision. There are many factors which must be carefully considered. How it is done will determine what effect it will have on the survivors. Planning from complete knowledge of the various practical, legal, economic and psychological factors is essential. If a formal pre-arranged funeral agreement or an informal one is desired, the inherent uncertainties of such an agreement make it highly desirable to get expert, professional counseling from a funeral director. We at the Gump-Holt Funeral Home have provided this expert and professional counseling through the years.We are always available for counsel if one wishes to make arrangements in advance. Through the years we are proud that at our establishment we are always able to provide clear answers to any questions about charges for our services and merchandise required in connection with it.

Don Ruberg was an Elder, XU fixture Gannett News Service Donald J. Ruberg crafted a storybook sports career at Elder High School, Xavier University and beyond. Those who knew Ruberg said the man himself was even more impressive. Ruberg, whose resume included time as Xavier University men’s basketball head coach (1963-67), died Thursday after recent health problems that included pneumonia. Ruberg, of Monfort Heights, was 81. “People that knew him said he was a great coach and athlete but an even better person,” said Ruberg’s son, Don Ruberg Jr. “He was a fine Christian gentleman. He had players that called him to this day.” Ruberg Sr., a 1947 Elder graduate nicknamed “Ruby,” was all-city in both basketball and baseball for the Panthers. Ruberg later starred in both sports at Xavier University. Ruberg then pitched briefly in the Cleveland Indi-
ans organization before being called into the armed forces. After serving in the Korean War, Ruberg returned to Elder to teach and coach basketball and baseball. As Elder baseball coach from 1954-56, Ruberg’s teams went 66-9 and won two Ohio state titles. His 1956 basketball team won the GCL title. In 1956, Ruberg became an assistant basketball coach and head baseball coach at Xavier University. As an XU assistant basketball coach, Ruberg was part of Jim McCafferty’s 1958 NIT championship team. McCafferty said at the time: “Don was extremely skilled at watching the execution of both teams and passing on suggestions.” Ruberg followed McCafferty as XU head basketball coach, and Ruberg compiled a 52-51 overall record from 1963-67. After resigning from the XU basketball job, Ruberg entered the insurance busi-
ness with friend Dave Hils. Ruberg retired in the mid1990s. Tom Ballaban, a Xavier University contemporary of Ruberg and a former St. Xavier High School football coach, said Thursday: “Anything anybody could say about Don Ruberg was flattery. He treated everybody the same.” Chris Mack, the current XU men’s basketball coach, said he saw Ruberg at several XU functions. “He was always really kind to me,” Mack said. “He said to just be yourself. I think people who really knew him all said he was such a nice guy, that he really cared about others.” Elder athletic director Dave Dabbelt said Ruberg remained a staunch supporter of the school, including work on various committees. “He had a phenomenal memory of people and events from Elder history,” Dabbelt said. Ruberg was inducted
into the B u d d y LaRosa’s High School Hall of Fame Ruberg and is in the Xavier athletic Hall of Fame, among many honors. As a youth, Ruberg also played on nationally recognized Bentley Post American Legion baseball teams. Ruberg is survived by his wife of 57 years, Rose Mary Ruberg; children Don Jr., Steve, Mark, Dan and Mary (Doyle); 17 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Mass of Christian Burial was April 26 at St. Lawrenece Church. Memorial may be made to St. Lawrence Church, 3680 Warsaw Ave, 45205, Elder High School Don Ruberg Scholarship Fund 3900 Vincent Ave, 45205 or La Salle High School Don and Rose Mary Scholarship Fund, 3091 North Bend Road, 45239. Meyer & Geiser Funeral Home handled the arrangements.

Salad add-ons will turn your lettuce’s head
Ron Wilson In the garden
A plain old lettuce salad can be pretty boring. But in today’s produce sections of the grocery, you’ll find bags of mixed greens to add a little extra something to your lettuce salad. And typically, these bags aren’t cheap. Well guess what? You can grow most of these greens, and you can do it in a pot on your own back porch! I call them my “salad bowl add-ons,” and it’s really simple to do. Here’s how: 1) Get yourself two or three (or more), 12- to 14inch wide shallow containers, always making sure they have good drainage. Plastic bowls, bushel baskets, anything close will do just fine. 2) Fill your containers
with a good grade potting mix, a little Osmocote for a gradual feeding, and some Soil Moist to help cut down on our watering. And now you’re ready to plant! (Feel free to use natural fertilizers as well!) 3) So what do you put in your salad bowl add-ons containers? Try growing Upland cress, dill, radicchio, arugula, basil, parsley, chives, mixed greens, mustard greens and of course, my favorite, cilantro. Any of those greens which can be
throughout the spring season. Come late May/early June, many of these greens will begin to poop out, and at that time, your can remove the greens, and replant these planters with your favorite herbs. Then you’ll have fresh herbs to added to a salad bowl of let- harvest, all summer long.

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…

Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge.

Western Hills woman directs ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ Julie H. Jordan of Western Hills directs The Drama Workshop’s production of Tennessee Williams’ the Pulitzer Prize winning play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” The Drama Workshop presents the classic drama, that Williams himself called his finest work, at Westwood Town Hall, 3017 Harrison Ave., 8 p.m., April 30 and May 1, 6, 7 and 8, and 3 p.m., May 2 and 8. Tickets cost $15 and are available at the door, by phone at 598-8303, or with a discount online at www. thedramaworkshop.org. “One of our finest American playwrights, Tennessee Williams has an astounding ability to richly and fully allow his audiences to experience the deepest of human emotion through his characters in a poetic yet unapologetic manner, and to make us sympathetic to their plights is truly astounding,” said Jordan, a literature and drama teacher. “That is why, when I heard that this play selection was on The Drama Workshop’s list, I felt compelled to submit my application to direct it. “Mendacity, or living the lie, is a primary theme that runs throughout the play. How one family deals with the issues that arise from this in the midst of several family crises makes for highly intense dramatic art.” “It is classic Tennessee Williams and explores the nature of relationships within a family immersed in greed and desire,” said Dan Britt,
who plays southern patriarch Big Daddy Pollitt. “It also delves into the many faces of familial Jordan love.” “I think audiences will be challenged to think about what makes families work – what keeps them together and what drives them apart,” said Anne Wrider, who plays Big Mama. “It’s all about loves and lies and what those two things do to people and the families they live in.” Although Thomas Williams adopted the stage name Tennessee for his father’s bloodlines, Williams grew up closest to his Cincinnati family. His grandfather Walter Dakin, an Episcopal priest in Cincinnati, married a Cincinnati Conservatory of Music graduate, Rosita Otte. The Dakins and their sole child, Edwina, born in Cincinnati, moved to Columbus, Miss., where Walter accepted a position as rector of St. George’s Episcopal Church. In Mississippi, Edwina met and married Cornelius Williams. Their son Tom lived in the St. George rectory until he was three, when his parents moved their young family to Clarksdale, Miss., the setting for “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” Coincidentally, Anne Wrider is an Episcopal rector for Indian Hill Church.
Nature preserve to host program to look for green invaders Bring the family to learn about green invaders, the alien plants that are threatening our natural space. Space Invaders of the Green Kind Program at Delshire Nature Preserve will be 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturday, May 8. Free refreshments will be provided. There will be an interactive game about these invasive plants, then head off to the woods in search of the enemy: garlic mustard. Learn about the harm done by garlic mustard and how to remove this threat from the nature preserves with a fun, hands-on experience. Then the group will see many wildflowers that have already returned from these efforts over the past few years. This family-friendly event is designed for kids ages 5-12 to attend with an adult. Wear sturdy shoes like
gym shoes or hiking boots, as there will be walking on uneven ground and hills. Long pants are recommended. Bring work gloves if you have them. Some gloves will be available to use. After the battle with the green space invaders, there will be refreshments. Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts are also invited to attend as a group with a registered adult leader being responsible for the group. Contact Leesa Miller at 284-1046 or momshine 2000@yahoo.com with questions and any weatherrelated issues the day of the event. Meet at Delhi Swim Club parking lot, 202 Felicia Road. This educational project, sponsored by Western Wildlife Corridor was made possible thanks to a grant from Ohio River Way.
