BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Interviews set for administrator

Trustees want to meeting with seven By Monica Boylson mboylson@communitypress.com

The Delhi Township Board of Trustees will interview candidates for township administrator in an executive session during a special meeting at 8 a.m. Monday, July 23, administration building, 934 Neeb Road.

Thirty-two people applied for the position and the board invited seven for interviews: » former Cincinnati Police Chief Tom Streicher, » acting administrator Tom Stahlheber, » Steven Burns, » Brian Gilligan, » Dwight Landrum, » Tim Petric and » Jerry Weller. Both Streicher and Petric have not responded to the invita-

tion as of July 13. The need to fill the position came after the board voted in January not to renew the contract

of previous administrator Gary Schroeder. Zoning Director Tom Stahlheber has been serving as the acting administrator in the meantime. “We’re excited and thrilled to begin the process to find a replacement for Mr. Schroeder,” board president Mike Davis said. Many candidates come with decades of administrative-related experience. Streicher expressed interest directly to the trustees and did

not submit a resume for public record. Stahlheber has served as the acting administrator since March. He has been involved in the township with zoning and as the director of development services since 1983. He also was the assistant to the assistant city manager in Kettering before beginning work in Delhi. Burns serves as the fiscal diSee TRUSTEES, Page A2

Car show to raise money for charity By Monica Boylson mboylson@communitypress.com

Hundreds of hot rods, coupes, classic cars and souped-up rides will roll into Fernbank Park Sunday, July 22, to participate in the Riverview Delhi Kiwanis’ 23rd annual Rollin’ on the River Charity Car Show. The show is from noon to 3:30 p.m. and is free to the public. In addition to the car show, there will be food, a disc jockey, split-the-pot and a raffle for a choice of 55-inch LCD TV or $1,000 cash. More than 160 vehicles have already registered for the car show. Proceeds from car registrations and the event will be donated to various community organizations. “We target a gross-net revenue from the show of $20,000.

All the proceeds are distributed to the Riverview and Delhi communities,” event chairman Al Duebber said. Vehicles can pre-register through Friday for $10 or from 9 a.m. to noon Sunday at the park for $15. Eighty-four trophies will be awarded to show participants, including nine specialty awards, from people’s choice to best GTO. “Our club members volunteer their time and talent to make this thing happen and the neatest thing about it is that it’s free,” Duebber said. For more information about the event or to register visit, www.rollinontherivercarshow.com. “It’s just one of the good West Side things,” Duebber said.

Artists create mural for West Price Hill

ArtWorks project finishes next week By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

A group of young artists is hard at work this summer creating a mural for folks to enjoy in West Price Hill. For the past few weeks a team of eight young people, many of whom are from the West Side, have been painting a mural on the side of the Covedale Pet Hospital as part of the 2012 ArtWorks Apprentice Program. Each summer the nonprofit organization hires young people to work with professional artists to make innovative public art to enrich communities throughout Cincinnati. The mural at the Covedale Pet Hospital is the program’s first in West Price Hill.

ArtWorks selected West Price Hill as one of the neighborhoods to receive a mural as part of its 2012 apprentice program. A group of teens, most of whom are from the West Side, have been transforming a blank wall at the Covedale Pet Hospital for the past few weeks. KURT BACKSCHEIDER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS “It’s been a fun project,” said Jamie Schorsch, an Oak Hills High School art teacher who is serving as the lead artist for the West Price Hill mural. “Everyone has worked really well together.”

Schorsch met with community leaders to find out what they wanted in the mural, and she and the teen artists developed a design incorporating themes the community wanted. Familiar neighborhood landmarks like the Covedale theater’s beacon tower, the stone arches at Rapid Run Park and elements of art deco architecture can be seen in the mural, she said. A dog and a cat are included in the mural since it adorns the pet hospital, and there are several eyes placed throughout the piece to represent the many neighborhood block watch programs in the area.

nis Wysinger, a student at Hughes STEM High School, said he joined the ArtWorks program because he loves art and he wanted to help brighten up his community. “We were able to put our own designs in some of the pieces,” he said. “You get to say, ‘I did that. I helped make that.’” Cameron White, a Westwood teen entering his sophomore year at Gilbert A. Dater High School, said he’s enjoyed working with the other young artists and getting to know everyone. “We’ve also been able to get to know what the community is like,” he said. Price Hill resident Blake Winans, a Western Hills University High School graduate who now attends Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, said he couldn’t

pass up the chance to work on the mural. “I wanted to be a part of the community,” he said. “And we’re also getting great experience in drawing and painting a large project.” The other artists helping bring the mural alive are Stephen Cavanaugh, Shakier Hill, Elena JordanKeller, Annie Spinnenweber and Ryan Strochinsky. John Ford is the project’s teaching artist. Schorsch said she’s very happy with how the project is coming along . She said the mural will be completed by Friday, July 27, and ArtWorks will host a dedication of the piece sometime this fall.

Women’s Connection celebrates 15th anniversary

By Kurt Backscheider

Sister Mary Jo Gasdorf, left, founder of The Women’s Connection, posed with Aimee Shinkle, the center’s new executive director, during a recent party celebrating the center’s 15th anniversary.

kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Aimee Shinkle said she and the staff at The Women’s Connection always ask themselves if they are meeting the needs of women and girls in the community. “We are a neighborhood center for women and girls, and our mission is to empower women and girls to make choices that will lead to positive changes in their lives,” she said. “Education, referral and support have always been the three pillars of what we do, and we’ve always stayed true to our mission.” The Price Hill organization is celebrating 15 years of fulfilling that mission. Founded in 1997 by Sister Mary Jo Gasdorf, a Sister of Charity, The Women’s Connection has provided several programs and services to women and girls over the past decade and a half. The center celebrated its 15th anniversary in May, just prior to Gasdorf’s retirement in June. Shinkle, who has been with the center for five years and now serves as its executive director, said Gasdorf and Sister Kathleen Hebbeler, a Dominican Sister of Hope, opened the center as a walkin referral service after talking with women in the neighborhood and listening to what their needs were. The walk-in and referral service remains an important aspect of the organization, but Shinkle said The Women’s Connection has also grown to offer dozens of programs, services and workshops women and girls use to better their lives. Linda Keller, the organization’s director of programs, said the center served more than 2,100 women and girls last year.

MONICA BOYLSON/THE COMMUNITY PRE She said she’s proud of the relationships the center has built with women in the community over the past 15 years and the level of trust women have for the center. “There are always new challenges facing women in this community,” she said. “We’re here to listen and respond.” Shinkle said the center would not be what it is without the support it receives from dedicated volunteers. Whether they help plan events, serve on the board of trustees or answer phones at the front desk, she said more than 140 volunteers donated their time last year, giving 4,300 hours of service. “Our volunteers are so critical to what happens here on a daily basis,” she said. Both she and Keller said Gasdorf showed tremendous vision in founding The Women’s Connection. “Sister Mary Jo was well aware of the needs of women in the community,” Keller said. “She knew having a place of support for women will always be important.”

Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes is returning $1.65 million in fees he didn’t spend on last year’s property reappraisals to the school districts, town-

praisal process. In Hamilton County, that percentage added up to $54.5 million over the last six years. Rhodes spent only two-thirds of it, so the rest gets sent back, he said. He would prefer to return the money to the tax payers, but state law won’t allow that. But it does allow Rhodes to return it to local governments, and that’s what he does. “The state threw local governments a curve ball when the local government funds were cut,” he said. “We are fortunate that we

are able to give some money back. I believe it’s just the right thing to do.” He’s been consistent in that belief. In 2006, Rhodes gave back $14 million; in 2000, he returned $4.2 million to local governments, districts and agencies. This year, 90 entities get money back and each gets a different amount depending on the amount of property taxes they collect. Delhi Township is getting $143,849.43. “The money will go back into the general fund. It’s like Christmas in July,” turstee President Mike Davis said. “It

Salutatorian may follow family into teaching By Connie Ruhe

westnews@communitypress.com

Riki Drout relished every minute at Walnut Hills High School, balancing springboard diving and playing viola with challenging academics to become its 2012 salutatorian. The 17-year-old graduate from Price Hill finished second in a class of just more than 310, at a high school that appears annually on lists of top high schools in the country. U.S. News & World Report ranks Walnut Hills 65th (first in Ohio) and Newsweek places it at No. 66. Yet it wasn’t just her weighted grade point average of 5.4805 that earned her a place on the commencement stage with the valedictorian and class officers. It was the culmination of 12 years of hard work and fun through sixth-grade at FairviewClifton German Language School and through 12thgrade at Walnut Hills.

“It’s good and I made it,” she said the day after graduation – and the day she passed her driver’s test. She is the daughter of Kristi and Rick Drout. Her brother, Noah, is a student at Walnut Hills. Riki is headed to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, where she’ll major in chemistry. Although she sees herself doing research, she figures she just might end up a teacher like her mother and grandfather. “I tutor and I love it. And I was picked as ‘Most Likely to Return as a Walnut Hills Teacher.’” Regardless, she added, “I don’t think I’ll stray far from math and science.” Not surprisingly, she counts chemistry teacher Jeff Lazar among her favorites at Walnut Hills. “I came home from10thgrade and said ‘I want to be a chemistry teacher,’” she recalled. “He made me love chemistry.” She enjoyed performing

with the chamber orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York City in the spring of 2011. She competed in springboard diving for four years at Walnut Hills and was recognized as an Ohio High School Athletic Association Scholar-Athlete. Riki is coaching diving at Anderson Hills Swim and Tennis Club this summer, and

in Walnut Hills’ orchestras under the direction of John Caliguri. Participation during the day’s last period prevented her from taking an additional Advanced Placement (AP) class her senior year that may have impacted her GPA, but Riki said she wasn’t concerned. “I wasn’t the best but I loved the people I was with, the teacher and the music. It was a good way to end the day,” she said. It also gave her a memorable opportunity to play

You walk out knowing you actually helped someone.” In her search for the right college, Riki visited nearly a dozen schools before settling on Case Western. It was the first she visited and after two more stops, she declared, “I was sold.” She said found a great fit. “I don’t think that being a nerd is a bad thing. Case Western has math, science and a great engineering school,” she said. “And the people. I haven’t met a single person there that wasn’t nice or willing to help.”

Hoffman receives Seton HS Pay It Forward scholarship In 2007, Seton students decided they wanted to do something to ensure their school’s legacy. The students decided to initiate the Pay It Forward scholarship program which would be funded by the senior class and given to an incoming freshman. This year, the Class of 2012 continued the fundraising effort and more than 130 students applied

she’ll compete for Division III Case Western. Riki carried quite an academic load the last three years, with AP classes in U.S. history and Latin as a sophomore; chemistry, statistics, English language and human geography as a junior, and physics, calculus, American literature, economics and psychology her senior year. Long hours have been the norm. School started at 7:30 a.m. She tutored after school one or two times a week – some volunteer, some paid – and went to bed at 11:30 p.m. or midnight. She tutored on Saturdays to help disadvantaged students and, in one session, “I was working with a kid

Steam roll into All-Star break Team successes – including those from Elder grad Chidemo - bring 2nd-place standings

By Tom Skeen tskeen@communitypress.com

PRICE HILL — The Cincinnati Steam enter the All-Star break winning five of their last seven games and sitting just a half game back of the first-place Lima Locos. “We are excited about the way we’re playing,” coach Billy O’Conner said. “The games we stubbed our toes in have been doubleheaders. Those games have a different feel to them than single games. You are on the field all day and other factors come into play. Other than that, when we take the field be know who the best team is.” One of the top guys for the Steam has been Roger Bacon graduate Josh Ungerbuehler, who is second on the team with a .373 average. After helping Marietta College to its second consecutive Division III National Championship, Ungerbuehler leads the Steam with seven doubles and ranks second in RBI, walks and stolen bases. “(Josh) has been great,” O’Conner said. “He ended his spring season on fire and picked right up for us. He has been a difference maker at the top of the lineup. He has quality at-bats every time, always hits, walks, Former Roger Bacon and current Marietta College standout Josh Ungerbuehler looks on as the Grand Lake moves runners and handles the Mariners are introduced before their June 21 contest.

St. Ursula has 14 sign to play in college

Delhi Township girls among group

St. Ursula Academy seniors participated in a signing ceremony on May 15 to commit to play college sports. Of the 14, local signees include:

Abby Bettner

Abby Bettner of Delhi Township signed her letter of intent to play golf at The College of Mt. St. Joseph. She was a member of the SUA junior varsity team as a sophomore and junior and joined varsity as a senior. SUA awards and accomplishments: At the end of this season she won the Saint Ursula Academy Bulldog Award. She also made either first and second honors since freshman year. Abby recently was named as a recipient of the Greater Cincinnati Women’s Golf Association award. The scholarship award can be used for her freshman year at The College of Mount Saint Joseph for expenses. In May 2010, Abby won a golf tournament at Majestic Springs. Abby’s St. Ursula Golf Coach Mark Hannahan, said: “Abby Bettner loves golf and has dedicated herself these past four years to improve. She has worked very hard and the results have been impressive. As a senior varsity player, she mod-

eled many fine qualities for her teammates. Mount St. Joseph is fortunate to have Abby join their golf program.”

Danielle Dusing

Danielle Dusing of Delhi Township has signed her letter of intent to play golf at Marysville University in St. Louis. Danielle played golf for St. Ursula during all four years, first on the JV team then on the varsity team. She also played freshman and JV basketball for two years at SUA. But she chose to ultimately pursue her golf game. She has done a good job balancing her athletics and her studies and earned second honors all four years. On the course, she has decreased her scoring average every year. This year, she was named to the second team AllGGCL. She has also received recognition with an Honorable All-City award and Honorable Mention-All Southwest District. Danielle’s St. Ursula Golf Coach, Mark Hannahan, had this to say about her, “Danielle Duesing has been a very solid two year varsity performer and helped our team succeed. She has worked as hard as anyone to improve and it showed as all aspects of her game got better. The coach at Maryville University is lucky to have Danielle join their program; she will be a

key contributor there.”

Katie Hulsman

Katie Hulsman of Delhi Township has signed her letter of intent to play Division III softball for Transylvania University. An all-around athlete, Katie played freshman and JV basketball in addition to her four years playing varsity softball for SUA. She was named first-team All GGCL for softball in her sophomore and junior year. She also was named a Cincinnati Enquirer Honorable Mention Division I All-Star for softball in 2010-2011. Plus, she made the fast-pitch Coaches Association first team for the Cincinnati AllMetro Southwest District in 2011. Through her club team, she was given the Queen of the Diamonds North Showcase Cage Animal Award in 2011. She was the Bustos Ultimates travel team captain in 2011. Katie’s St. Ursula softball coach, Chrissy Martini said , “I’ve had the pleasure of coaching Katie for 4 years and she is a most fiery competitor. She is dedicated to improving her game and competing at the highest possible level. She is aggressive, smart, determined and she is pretty funny too!! I am so proud of her success both on and off the field, and I wish her all the best as a future Pioneer.

Former Elder Panther Selby Chidemo, right, talks with first-base coach Kyle Ottaway after reaching base through a bunt June 21 in the Steam’s win over Grand Lake. Chidemo has raised his batting average nearly .30 points since the June 21 contest. TOM SKEEN/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

smart on the mound, he just knows how to get things done. He is not scared at all out there.” With 13 games to go, including three against first-place Lima, who the Steam have already defeated once this season, they are in a great position to make a run for the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League title. “I think we have plenty of talent to win,” the Steam coach said. “We have to sustain our hard work and energy and come to play every single day. We have competitive guys on this team and that means a lot to a coach. They step on the field and want to win and put forth the effort. We are doing that this year and if we keep it up it will lead to success the second half.”

Scouts visit Western Hills On July 3, Western Hills baseball hosted the nationally recognized college and professional baseball recruiting service PBR (Prep Baseball Report). The showcase presented more than 60 players from middle, Southwestern Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Fourteen players from Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference attended, including four from Western Hills. The other 10 players were from Aiken and Withrow. West High outfielder Cameron Washington (2013), turned in the best 60-yard time of 6.86 (best in the camp) and Western Hills catcher Jordan Saunders (2013) opened some eyes with his strong throwing arm and quick release

for the college and pro scouts in attendance. Some of the colleges in attendance were: Bluffton, Bowling Green, Akron, Louisville, Miami (OH) and Shawnee State. Major League scouts included the Cincinnati Reds, Milwaukee Brewers and Texas Rangers. PBR and Western Hills has formed an alliance wherein PBR holds a showcase camp at Arch McCartney stadium once in July and in return, CMAC players can attend the camp free of charge (cost is $250 per player). Players from freshmen to seniors can attend the camp. Each player is then entered into the Prep Baseball Report national registry for all college and professional scouts.

Golf outing helps Kreuter Memorial Fund

I would like everyone on the West Side to know about a golf outing that is coming up on July 21. This golf outing is the third annual David Kreuter Memorial Golf Outing. The golf outing will be held at Aston Oaks in North Bend and will begin with a shotgun start at 2 p.m. The $65 entry fee included the18 hole scramble, cart, picnic dinner and awards. This is a great golf outing at a reasonable price. The golf outing is great, but the important thing is what happens with the funds that are collected from this golf outing. David Kreuter was a sergeant in the Marine Corps who was part of Lima Company and was killed in action on Aug. 3, 2005. David and his parents were and are a part of the West Side community and attend Shiloh Church in Delhi. They formed the David Kreuter Memorial fund in their son’s honor. They use the money to provide scholarships for kids on the west side of town. They are doing this to honor their son and to keep his memory alive.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

COMMUNITY CommunityPress.com

Ask ‘What would Jesus do?’ I just can’t help it – I have to reply to Dusty Rhodes’ article about “renegade Roman Catholic nuns” who use praise for their good works to excuse them from Vatican suggestions that some have “strayed from church teaching.” It seems that whatever errors by such nuns he is referring to is another strike in his vendetta against the Sisters of Charity. For most of the 20 years since the cited “selling out of the community” by the Sisters of Charity, we have been exposed to his criticism of this “private deal.” Most residents of Delhi probably do not even know about or remember what he refers to in his repeated verbal attacks on the sisters. Dusty, why can’t you get over it? It was 20 years ago! I have lived in Delhi all of my life and have not experienced any terrible results from the “outof-state threat to our quality of life” to which you refer, and which the sisters supposedly supported by their business arrangement with the Greater Cincinnati Airport. I do remember sitting in class at the Mount as an adult

student in the eighties and not being able to hear a word from the instructors as plane after plane Tina Modafari passed diCOMMUNITY PRESS rectly overhead! That GUEST COLUMNIST was definitely a threat to my right to get the education I was paying for, along with all the other students attending not only the Mount, but all of the other public and parochial schools in the area. If you think that Delhi has provided “service and support to their tax-free college and facilities for over 100 years,” that is true, but I recognize that the College of Mount St. Joseph is an extremely prestigious institution which has by its very existence done much to put Delhi “on the map.” I’m sure you have noticed over the years how many respected businessmen and women and other people of importance have served on its board, attended and spoke at its functions, and otherwise added to

Delhi’s prominence. While the Delhi Pike business district flounders (which saddens me), the college, Bailey Place, and the Motherhouse flourish and expand. Does this anger you? Can’t you understand that we are so fortunate to have the Sisters of Charity and their facilities in our township? As far as the Vatican speaking out against nuns who act against church teaching, what about the number of priests who are guilty of unspeakable acts against young people? Isn’t that worthy of Vatican condemnation instead of being covered up and ignored? And, in a time when we are so short of priests, why is it such a sin for some nuns to seek to serve God in a priestly role? Is that a worse crime than that committed by the unfortunate priests mentioned above? I think that Dusty and the Vatican need to ask themselves, “What would Jesus do?” I don’t think He would hold grudges, or favor men over women to do His work. Tina Modafari lives in Delhi Township.

A funeral business of long-standing Generally events occur for a reason. As a board member of the Price Hill Historical Society and an editor of its monthly newsRichard Jones COMMUNITY PRESS letter, I’m usually aware of GUEST COLUMNIST what is happening around our museum headquarters. Last April we did an oral history on the first female licensed embalmer in Greater Cincinnati who was employed by John J. Radel Co. Then last month I was doing some research for my West Side baseball book and came upon a news clip in a 1932 Western Hills Press; “Bellar Olds team plays Radel’s Ghouls at Mt. Echo Park.” Just last week we received an email from an out-oftown member with a photo of a 1941 Knothole team sponsored by Radel. These repeated references to a long-standing West Side funeral business must be sending me a message. So what do we know about this family who have been in the funeral business for over 133 years. John J. Radel had helped a neighbor with the burial of an

Henry Radel bough the Schulte mansion at 4122 Glenway Ave., a majestic edifice that had been built around 1891. It still houses Radel Funeral Home. PROVIDED infant in 1878 and decided to enter the funeral service field. The Lower Price Hill area west of downtown had no such business, so he opened his office in a small frame building at 652 State Ave. One of the many services Radel offered the public beginning in 1898 was membership in a burial association, a forerunner of modern insurance plans. A weekly payment provided complete burial expenses for the poor of the area. In 1903, Radel, along with Charles Terry, Harry Lameier, John Seery and Charles Yeager formed a corporation to take care of the rapidly expanding

business. First on their agenda was to build the structure that is still in use on the site. The basement was where horses and carriages were housed. Parlors, a chapel, a preparation room and offices were on the first floor. An apartment and storage were above. Caskets were delivered to the basement where employees would hoist them to the main level using block and tackle. By 1912 automobiles were introduced to the business making the task much easier as ropes were tied to their bumpers and the caskets were raised when they entered the garage area.

Radel was one of the first to offer auto-serviced funerals in the country. Shortly thereafter, Radel invested money to begin Cincinnati’s first bus service, running west from Fountain Square to St. Joseph Cemetery at Nebraska and West Eighth Street, a trip of about five miles with a one-way fare of five cents. In 1917, at the age of 57, John Radel died during the flu epidemic. His son, Henry J., took over the company. Henry had the job, since he was 16, of looking after the horses and buggies which a number of doctors kept at the Radel stables. Henry had

recalled that the most unusual burial he had handled was that of a gypsy queen, when a 120piece band played the funeral music. Henry bought the Schulte mansion at 4122 Glenway Ave., a majestic edifice that had been built around 1891. The brick structure which contains approximately 8,000 square feet was converted into a second funeral home. For a time this home also served as a residence for Henry, his wife Josephine, and their two sons, Henry Jr. and Fares. When he died at age 80 in August 1973, Henry Radel Sr. was possibly the oldest active Ohio funeral director. At that time the company was taken over by his two sons. Henry Jr., known as Skip, said his most unusual funeral received considerable coverage in the media. Held for a prominent member of the Cincinnati Hell’s Angels motorcycle group, it proceeded to the cemetery with a regular police escort and 300 other motorcyclists.

Steam: A journey into the past led by the stars of tomorrow As you drive down Glenway Avenue, you might just notice a small sign at the corner of Ferguson Place advertising the K.L. date and time Willdermood COMMUNITY PRESS of the next Steam game. It GUEST COLUMNIST is a simple sign, not very flashy; and if you don’t happen to be looking that way, you might just miss it. And to

miss a Cincinnati Steam game, well that might just be a shame. The Cincinnati Steam is not just another summer collegiate baseball team; it is symbol of a great legacy known as Cincinnati baseball. It is a team that runs onto the field of Western Hills High, a school where not one or two, but four Major League baseball managers walked the halls as students. It is a team that proves baseball is still America’s pastime. It is a team that brings pride to the people of the west side.

A Steam game is a unique blend of nostalgia mixed with the current trends of whacky in-game promotions and entertainment. While one can sit in the bleachers, eat a hot dog, and bask in the purity of a game played by those who still play with heart, another can buy a few split-the-pot tickets, participate in one of MC Smitty’s (A.K.A. Jeff Smith) wild promotions, and catch a ball game on the side. Whatever the reason, there is an air of delight that runs through the crowd at each

The Cincinnati Steam is one of 11 teams playing in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League and is sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The team consists of 30 players representing various colleges and universities. The Steam prides itself with what they call “home grown” talent, having a majority of their

The teenagers in this summer’s Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre production are taking audiences back to a time when hair was big, greed was good and collars were popped. The 1980s will be in full effect when the teens take the stage at the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts to present “The Wedding Singer.” More than 80 teens representing nearly 40 schools from around the region have come together for this year’s musical, which is based on the hit comedy film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. “It’s a really fun show,” said Tim Perrino, artistic director at the Covedale and founder of the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre (CYPT). “There are several lead roles and some giant chorus numbers. It all melts together to be one whacked out, 80s trip.” Although most of the teens in this summer’s show aren’t very familiar with 1980s music – none of them were born until the 1990s – Kalie Kaimann, a Delhi Township resident who is entering her sophomore year at Seton High School, said it’s been a lot of fun learning some of the hit pop songs from the decade when mullets were king. “We’re excited for the show,” she said. “We all love

entertaining people.” Green Township resident Tyler Kuhlman, a La Salle High School graduate who is now a sophomore at Xavier University, said he’s looking forward to taking a leading role in this year’s production. He said this is his third and final year with the theater program. “I knew there were a lot of older kids leaving after last year’s show, and I wanted to come back this year to step up and be a leader the way they were,” he said.

“The quality of the shows here are so far ahead of our high school shows. We work hard, but we also have fun every day.” Lindsey Mullen, a Seton High School senior from Cleves, echoed Kuhlman’s thoughts regarding the production quality. “There are so many great performers here, so no matter what you now it’s going to be a good show,” she said. Jo Ellen Pellman, a Mount Airy resident and junior at Walnut Hills High School,

and Reginald Hemphill, a Mount Airy teen who is a senior at the School for Creative & Performing Arts, both of whom are in their second year with the CYPT, said they are glad they joined the program. “I had seen CYPT shows for years and I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of,” Pellman said. “I auditioned last year and I’ve been loving it ever since.” Hemphill said one of his teachers suggested CYPT when he expressed interest

in a summer theater program. “I love it,” he said. Kelcey Steele, a Miami University sophomore from St. Bernard, said not only does the program allow young people an opportunity to make great friendships, but it also gives them experience performing live for large crowds. “It’s a thrill being in front of an audience,” he said. “It’s not something people our age usually get to do.” Perrino said his favorite part of directing the CYPT, which is now in its 31st season, is watching the teens come in as shy 13-year-olds and leave as confident, 19year-old stage veterans. He also gets a kick out of the way teens from all over the city form lasting bonds with each other through their involvement in the program. “They make lifelong friendships,” he said. “That’s the neat part.”

Good dishes come from heirloom recipes

Greyhound Tavern’s Pasta Gabriel

Mary Ann Wainscott, owner with her husband Butch, of this historic Northern Kentucky restaurant, shared this heirloom recipe. She told me “People absolutely love it.” I’ve given my approximate equivalents next to ingredients. Made fresh per serving. 5 oz. angel hair pasta, cooked 1 oz. (2 tablespoons) olive oil 1 tablespoon butter 3 oz. mushrooms, sliced 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Betty Crocker’s impossible pumpkin pie features a crust that doesn’t require rolling. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD.

2 oz. green onions, about ¼ cup, chopped 2 oz. tomatoes (1 small tomato), diced Salt and pepper to taste Chicken or shrimp (optional)

Put olive oil, butter and mushrooms in a sauté pan. Sauté these with a little salt to get them started. Then add garlic, green onions and, last, the tomatoes so they don’t overcook. When the tomatoes are warm, add pasta. Served with blackened chicken or shrimp. Chicken (boneless skinless, 6 oz.) is broiled and blackened and cut in strips. Shrimp (5 oz.) is broiled in a little butter and salt and pepper and small amount of white wine. All is tossed several times so flavors are mixed.

Impossible pumpkin pie

Betty Crocker’s “impossible” pies never lose their appeal, since they’re easy and tasty with no pie crust to roll I’ve had a couple requests for these. One was for the impossible quiche pie. I don’t have that recipe but do have the other, for a

pumpkin pie. 1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix) ½ cup original Bisquick mix ½ cup sugar 1 cup evaporated milk 1 tablespoon butter, softened 1½ to 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 large eggs

Preheat oven to 350 and spray 9-inch pie plate. Blend all ingredients. Bake 35-40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Refrigerate until chilled, a few hours. Serve with whipped cream. Serves 6.

Beef pot roast with garlic and ginger

This is one of those recipes that has stood the test of time. I continue to get requests for it, even in the summer. Yummy over mashed potatoes or noodles. For Carol Ann, who said this is her husband’s favorite pot roast.

1 chuck, brisket or other inexpensive roast, approximately 3 lbs. Oil for browning ¼ cup cup hot water ¾ teaspoon powdered

ginger or 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 2-3 teaspoons minced garlic ¼ cup soy sauce or more to taste 2 large onions, sliced 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with ¼ cup cold water

Brown beef in a small amount of oil. Cover with water, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and onion. Cover and simmer about 2-3 hours, until tender, adding water as needed, about 1 cup. Or roast, covered, in 225 degree oven. Remove meat. Add cornstarch mixture to sauce and stir until thick. (May need to add a bit more cornstarch dissolved in a small amount of cold water). Serves 6.

Each year, my neighbor, Sandy Shelton, gifts me with one of her mother’s heirloom monkey face flowers. The leaves are a dark purplish green and the flowers do resemble a monkey face (with a bit of imagination) and they are a gorgeous shade of light purple. (Check out my blog for a photo). This plant is precious to her and her siblings since they repRita resent a Heikenfeld family’s RITA’S KITCHEN history of passing down those things that have meaning. That’s why I treasure my mom’s mint and send each child off with a sprig to plant on their own, much like mom did. And I can’t make jelly or jam without using my motherin-law Clara’s preserving spoon. She inherited it from her mom, and it’s a simple design made of cast metal with a long handle, and an angled bottom, just perfect for stirring jelly from the sides and bottom of the pan. Food is like that, too. Seems like the recipes we enjoy most are those with a history, like the ones I’m sharing today.

Don’t rely on verbal vehicle warranties If you buy a used car, is the dealer responsible if something goes wrong with it after just a few days? A surprising number of people believe the dealer is responsible even if the car was sold “As Is,” meaning without a warranty. Now some judges

are ruling against the dealers as well. Cason Hensley, of Walton, bought a 2001 Honda Odyssey from a used car dealer in Cleves. “We test drove the vehicle. It sounded OK and we bought it. The very next day my fiancée goes to take it to work and the van

was just spinning through its gears. She tells me, ‘I can’t drive it,’” Hensley said. Hensley says he realized the van was purchased “As Is,” but says, “When they sell you a car there they say you have a 30-day unwritten warranty. It says ‘As Is’ on the

paperwork but then they tell you, ‘Hey, if anything is wrong with it we stand behind our autos. We’ll give you 30-days.’” Hensley had paid Mike Weinle at Michael J’s Auto Sales $2,800 for the vehicle and took it back to him. Hensley says Weinle checked over the van. “He says, ‘Oh, it was just low on transmission fluid.’” But Hensley says while driving the van back to Walton he noticed the same problem occurred. This time, Hensley says, although he contacted the dealer again, nothing more was done. So he returned the van to dealership, then filed suit in small claims court seeking his money back. Weinle defended his position to the magistrate by pointing to the receipt showing the van was sold “As Is” without a warranty. But the magistrate

The magistrates are ruling that whenever Weinle tries to fix the vehicle it negates his “As Is” warranty. I’ve heard of several used car dealers offering these verbal warranties, but believe they may tend to give consumers a false sense of security. So despite the court rulings, don’t rely on any warranty that is not in writing. Instead, get your own ASE certified mechanic to check out a vehicle before you buy it. It may cost you about $100 for the inspection, but its well worth it to avoid buying a vehicle that will cost you a lot more than that if there are problems.

ruled in favor of Hensley and ordered the money returned to him. Why did Howard the judge Ain rule for HEY HOWARD! Hensley? “Well, the judge flat out told Weinle, ‘You took the car back to repair it, didn’t you? Did you touch that automobile? Yes? Well, then you took it back to fix it, so there was an issue then,’” Hensley said. Weinle appealed, but a judge upheld the magistrate’s ruling and now he’s appealed again. “I’m just trying to be a nice guy,” Weinle said. However, he says this is not the first time magistrates have ruled against him in similar situations where he was just trying help out.

HONORING THE FALLEN

Members of Chambers Hautman Budde American Legion Post 534, legion, auxiliary, and Sons of the American Legion, put out over 1,300 flags on the graves of veterans buried in St. Joseph cemetery on May 23. This is done every year around Memorial Day to honor our veterans. PROVIDED

Sisters of Charity Cub Scouts learn about planting commemorate Civil War The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati celebrated the Memorial Day weekend by honoring their sisters who served in the American Civil War 150 years ago. Sisters, associates and friends of the community gathered at the Mount St. Joseph cemetery to acknowledge the places served and to honor the individual sisters who were called upon through the duration of the war. More than 40 Sisters of Charity were recognized during the program. Representatives from the College of Mount St. Joseph Nursing Department and the Battle of Richmond Association presented grave site wreaths; a proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln was read. Music was provided by the Hills of Kentucky Dulcimers and a performance of “Taps” by Peter Sturdevant, a native of Cincinnati and assistant state director for Bugles Across America. “The reading from the sister nurses’ journals was inspirational,” said Sister Mary Kathryn McFerrin, one of the Sisters of Charity in attendance. “Realizing the hardships that our

Cub Scouts of Pack 300’s Den 10 participated in an instructional series hosted by Delhi Township Parks horticulturist Joan Gillespie. In the first session, the boys learned about seeds, how plants produce them, different ways they can

be transported to new areas, how to plant seeds, and what a seed needs in order to germinate and produce a new plant. They then planted marigold and sunflower seeds and kept them at the greenhouse in Delhi Park. A month later, they re-

turned to the greenhouse to see the growth of their new plants, and the boys were amazed as to the extent of growth that had occurred in just one month. They then learned how to repot, transplant, and care for their new plants.

Sister Georgia Kitt places a decorated ribbon on the gravesite of S. Anthony O’Connell during the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati Civil War Memorial Day commemoration. Sister Anthony was known as The Angel of the Battlefield, a true heroine of the Civil War and praised by President Lincoln. PROVIDED early members faced and the courage they had to go onto the battlefields to nurse and attend to the wounded makes me very proud. More than half of the early Community served the soldiers in some

capacity – what a legacy we have.” For information on the sisters’ service in the Civil War, contact Sister Judith Metz at 513-347-4058 or Judith.metz@srcharitycinti.org.

CINCY SENIOR CORNER July 2012

Power of Attorney: Plan Ahead for Peace of Mind • Parents with young children take a vacation…without the kids. What if their 8-year-old breaks an arm and needs surgery? Who will authorize medical care? • Husband and wife plan for retirement. What if the husband has a debilitating stroke? How will the wife handle investments kept in both of their names? • Retired “snowbirds” head to Florida for a six-month stay. What if they have an opportunity to unload property they’d been trying to sell? Will one or both have to return just to close the deal? There are advantages to being prepared. That’s why many adults plan for a time when they are most vulnerable, such as if they become incapacitated or when they reach an advanced age. A Power of Attorney is a vital component of any plan to protect an adult’s wishes and provide him or her peace of mind. A Power of Attorney, or POA, is a legal document that allows one to give a trusted person the legal authority to act on his behalf and perform tasks for a short time or indefinitely. He can continue to

Kiara McGinnis of Western Hills watched The Frisch Marionettes performance at the Summer Reading kickoff on June 2. PROVIDED.

In the three scenarios above, having a POA would prepare an agent or attorney-in-fact to act if the unexpected happened: • A close relative could make decisions about a child’s treatment until the parents came home. • A wife could pay bills and transfer stocks as long as her husband remained incapacitated. • A son or daughter could sell the snowbirds’ property while they were out of town. Our advice There are different kinds of Power of Attorney for different situations. Your best bet is to start with an attorney, who can advise what’s the best kind of POA for you and draw up the appropriate papers. Don’t have an attorney? Seniors can contact an organization such as Pro Seniors at www.proseniors.org. It’s a nonprofit organization that provides free legal care to Ohio residents age 60 and older.
