BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Sycamore Schools opt for ‘blizzard bags’ By Marika Lee mlee1@communitypress.com

This will provide additional space for expanded storage, a scene shop and dressing rooms. Other items include replacing furniture at the primary, elementary and high schools and replacing fitness center equipment at the middle school. The capital plan includes buying one additional school bus and making roof repairs at several of the buildings. A number of other items are also part of the capital plan for 2014-2015. The total estimated cost is around $4 million. A portion of

After using all five of its calamity days before the end of January, Sycamore Community School District has opted for “blizzard bags” to combat the winter weather. The district had originally planned to make up any extra days at the end of the school year, but the Board of Education decided at a special meeting Jan. 27 that it would do the Ohio Department of Education’s “blizzard bags” option. Chief information officer Erika Daggett said the board chose the “blizzard bags” because of how much winter is still remaining. “The board voted to adopt the ... ‘blizzard bags’ option as this will help students remain engaged in learning when schools are closed and lessen the potential of makeup days in June,” Daggett said in an email. For “blizzard bags,” assignments will be posted on the Sycamore teachers’ Blackboard pages and must be completed within two weeks of the date school was closed. The assignments will be graded the same as regular assignments, according to a post on the Sycamore Community Schools website. The day after the district announced it would use “blizzard bags,” the district was closed because of the weather and assignments were posted on the teachers’ web pages in Blackboard by 10 a.m. If students do not have access to a computer at home, they must complete the assignments within two weeks after school reopens. Teachers will provide access to school computers before, during and after school hours. The Loveland City Schools is considering using “blizzard bags,” but a decision has yet to be made, chief

Tensions between Point Blank Range and GunShop, 10930 Deerfield Road, and its neighbors because of noise have been mostly resolved because of changes to the building. MARIKA LEE/ THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Relations between gun range, neighbors improved By Marika Lee mlee1@communitypress.com

Tension has quelled between a local gun range and a group of Montgomery residents due to a decrease in noise from the 20lane indoor facility. Problems between Point Blank Range and Gunshop, 10930 Deerfield Road, and its neighbors reached their peak during the summer when a group of the residents brought their concerns to the city officials in Montgomery and Blue Ash.

With part of the building being deconstructed and cold temperatures keeping people indoors, most of the issues seem to be resolved. “I’m not sure if the changes at the gun range were a direct result of our efforts or not,” said John Augustin, a Deerfield Road resident. Point Blank owner Tom Willingham could not be reached for comment. Augustin and other Montgomery residents took their complaints to Montgomery city officials during the summer. Mont-

gomery had no authority because the range is in Blue Ash. The group then went to Blue Ash City Council, which declined to comment at the time. Blue Ash Assistant City Manager Kelly Harrington said in a recent email that the city’s role was to ensure Point Blank met all regulations, which it did. Montgomery City Manager Wayne Davis said Montgomery had no jurisdiction over the range. The group wanted Point Blank to install more soundproofing material. Some of the

group’s wishes were granted. Part of the building was deconstructed and Augustin said it scaled back the noise about 50 to 60 percent. He added nobody can hear the noise inside their homes now, and some have said they can still hear it outside. “I do. I live within shouting distance of the range,” he said. Augustin said he hears “muffled gunfire” outside whenever the range is open. Noise from a gun range is considered unacceptable only if See RANGE, Page A2

Auditorium, field improvements planned By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com

The Indian Hill Exempted Village School District is considering renovations to the auditorium and field improvements at the high school for the 2014-2015 school year. Superintendent Mark Miles presented a list of capital improvement projects during the Jan. 14 Board of Education meeting. During the meeting the school board conducted a first reading of a plan for repairs and maintenance of its facilities. A first reading is the initial

presentation of legislation before the school board takes a vote. The board is expected to vote on the capital Hooker plan, which details building repairs and other maintenance needs, at its next meeting 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11, in the high school multipurpose room, 6865 Drake Road. Miles said specific projects are determined based on information gathered from visits to the buildings and discussions

with staff and school board members. Projects under consideration include the installation of synthetic turf at Lutz the upper level baseball and softball fields at the high school and the installation of bleachers. As part of the proposed plan, the fields would be relocated but remain on the upper level. Improvements to the high school auditorium are also a part of the plan. The theater will be expanded 5,000 square feet.

After the harsh temperatures, ice and snow of the past few weeks, many will undoubtedly be eagerly awaiting Groundhog Day, when Punxsutawney Phil emerges to determine how many weeks until spring. Will he see his shadow? What does that mean? How did the tradition begin? These and other questions will be answered at a Great Parks program at Sharon Woods Sunday, Feb. 2, beginning at 2

age weight? “Because of its association with the holiday, the groundhog has become an iconic part of American culture,” Great Parks naturalist Angela Marczi said. “The animal behind the myth is just as unique and engaging as the legends associated with it. “As they are common in the Cincinnati area, learning about an animal we see every day helps us understand and appreciate one of our wild neighbors a little better.” Phil, the famous groundhog in Pennsylvania, will emerge from his burrow at 7:20 a.m. Feb. 2 at Gobblers Knob in

Punxsutawney, PA, where he will look for his shadow. If he sees his shadow, he will predict six more weeks of winter. A valid Great Parks of Hamilton County motor vehicle permit is required to enter the park. They can be purchased at Sharon Woods for $10 annual or $3 daily.

He added the city did receive a positive response from a resident who contacted Montgomery saying that Willingham was a professional business owner and good neighbor. Augustin said the group received letters from Blue Ash and Montgomery governments. “They told us they did

everything they could. They upheld the letter of the law, but they didn’t uphold the spirit of the law,” he said.

Loveland Intermediate School and Loveland Middle School have used one more calamity day than the rest of the district due to a bomb threat closing the schools in November. With the closure Jan. 28, those two schools have used seven calamity days and the rest of the district has used six. Sally Neidhard, director of public relations for Ursuline Academy, said the school built a few extra days into its schedule

that can be used to make up calamity days. She added the school has also used some online course work to make up for the time off. “Many of our teachers are continuing with their syllabi and are staying on schedule. They are taking advantage of the technology available to them,” Neidhard said.

New board member Eddie Hooker said the proposed items incorporate “academics, arts and athletics.” “I think (the projects) are all very appropriate and based on the longterm capital plan,” he said. If approved work on some of these projects could begin in the summer, according to Miles.

Four honored for saving man at Blue Ash Recreation Center By Marika Lee

mlee1@communitypress.com

On Dec. 21, Blue Ash resident Richard “Dick” Bouldin, 66, went to play basketball at the Blue Ash Recreation Center. He played one game with friends, sat down for a bit and then got up to play another one. “I took two steps out onto the court. I felt dizzy and fell back,” Bouldin said. Bouldin collapsed and was unconscious. “I was told I hit my head on the stands and was lying there when they found me. A bunch of people sprung into action and they saved my life,” he said. Steve Zaret and Bryce Johnsen were in the gym and quickly began CPR.

Recreation Center assistant facility manager Jen Wolf and facility supervisor Zac Schmitz were alerted of the incident, called 911 and used an AED kit on Bouldin. The four people had a 90-second to two-minute window to save Bouldin. They did. Bouldin held a ceremony in the Blue Ash Fire Station Jan. 20 to thank everyone and for them to be honored by the city of Blue Ash. “This is an interesting occasion to say the least, but we are very happy to have this occasion,” Mayor Lee Czerwonka said. Bouldin thanked the four lifesavers and others who were at the Recreation Center at the time, who directed the Blue Ash EMS when they ar-

rived. Bouldin said he and Zaret have only known each other for more than a year even though they attended the University of Cincinnati at the same time. “We have become real good friends and go to basketball games up at UC and see each other across the floor. Steve come over and administered CPR and kept me alive,” Bouldin told the crowd of about 50 people. Bouldin also thanked the members of the Blue Ash Fire Department, who transported him to the hospital: firefighter/ paramedic Don Morrison, firefighter/paramedic Michael Britton and Fire Lt. Eric Simon. Czerwonka presented an award on behalf of the city, fire department,

Blue Ash Police Department and Blue Ash Parks and Recreation Department to Zaret, Johnsen, Wolf and Schmitz for their quick thinking,

courage and saving Bouldin’s life. “I don’t know of a higher honor than one having the courage to save another person’s life. All these

people have that,” Czerwonka said.

Teacher challenges bullying on the bus By Forrest Sellers

fsellers@communitypress.com

An Indian Hill school psychologist is tackling bullying. Amy Van Strien, who is a school psychologist at the high school and middle school, will be a speaker at an upcoming convention. She will participate in the National Association of School Psychologists convention in Washington, D.C., in February. Strien, who started working at Indian Hill this school year, will discuss ways to prevent bullying on school buses. The topic called “The Peaceful School Bus” will detail some of the practices implemented in the Loveland City School District. Strien was a psychologist in the Loveland schools for more than 20 years before coming to Indian Hill. “National statistics say 10 percent of all bullying occurs on a bus,” said Strien, who is a resident of Loveland. “The main key to reducing bullying is to teach kids to stand up for one another,” she said. As part of this anti-bullying initiative on school buses, Strien said bus drivers were also actively engaged. The importance of their role was stressed, she said. By implementing some of these initiatives, incidents on buses in the district declined, according to Strien. During the convention, Strien will also discuss mental health, specifically the importance of students seeking help when necessary.

“A lot of adolescents don’t seek help because of the negative stigma (associated with mental health),” she said. “(However) when students talk about it and seek treatment, there is a much more positive outcome.” Strien said an “Active Minds Club” formed in the Loveland

schools, which encouraged a proactive approach to mental health was very beneficial. Strien said she hasn’t determined whether the anti-bullying initiative on buses or the Active Minds Club will be implemented in Indian Hill. She said at this point she is trying to determine what pro-

grams will be the most appropriate for the district. “I’m always interested in focusing on different approaches and meeting student needs,” said Strien. “Kids are kids whether you go to Loveland, Indian Hill or Cincinnati. “You always need a supportive environment.”

Ursuline’s Reilly ready to set sail for Naval Academy By Mark D. Motz mmotz@communitypress.com

BLUE ASH — Anchors aweigh. Ursuline Academy senior Sarah Reilly committed to play basketball at the U.S. Naval Academy. “I never saw myself in the military, but the minute I got there and saw it, I knew it was right,” she said. “It’s a pretty amazing opportunity. I definitely like the Patriot League for its sports and its academics. I think it’s similar to the GGCL. You have smart kids on the floor and smart kids off the floor who are invested in their educations.” “It’s an emotional time. It’s going to be really hard to leave this team, this school. We’ve got a real sisterhood and we’re very close. At the same time it’s going to be exciting to go out and see how ready I am. I feel like I’m prepared. Going from one academy to the next is a unique thing, kind of, even though the next one will be a lot more strict than this one.” U.S. Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-2nd District) wrote the Hyde Park resident’s recommendation for the Naval Academy, where she plans to study engineering. Reilly is taking calculus and physics her senior year and said she loves math in general. Reilly puts up enviable numbers on the court, averaging a double-double with 13.8 points 11.2 rebounds per game. She’s fifth in the GGCL in scoring and second in rebounding. “She has been the backbone of the team,” Ursuline head coach Keith Starks said. “It’s been a real joy having her my three years here. “We ask her to rebound and defend, which she does. Come in and play with a lot of energy. She’s done a pretty good job of that. The shots and the scoring take care of themselves when she’s playing with energy.” She’s also a team leader off the court. “I know a couple of the freshmen have gone to her as a shoulder to lean on, so to speak,” Starks said. “It’s a big

transition from eighth grade to high school. Not just basketball, but the academics and what our girls have to do off the court. She’s been a wonderful source for the younger girls.” Reilly also played golf for the Lions, but fell in love with basketball at an early age. She was part of the St. Mary’s School CYO dynasty that won city titles every year from third through eighth grade. “The sixth time we won, that might be my favorite basket-

ball memory,” she said. “To be so close with those girls and to have that kind of success that young helped shape me. Most of those girls play at St. Ursula now, so it’s fun to get to play them again every year. “(I like) the rush of the game and aspect of team. I’ve played golf and that’s such a different game with the pace and the solitude. I like being part of a team. That’s another thing that’s exciting about Navy; it’s definitely a team there, not just in basketball.”

no other boys basketball team justifies its nickname better than the Sycamore High School Aviators. The words “Flight Crew” are painted on the gym wall and each rim is attacked with frequent incoming spheres launched from various points beyond the three-point arc. Of the regulars coached by Dave Moss, five shoot 33 percent or better from the trifecta line. Their marksmanship hasn’t necessarily resulted in a tremendous record, but on “shotfriendly” nights, the Aves can make things interesting. Senior Zach Farquhar, who shoots 50 percent on Sycamore’s home floor, recently made 7 of 11 against Hamilton. “I think we’re dangerous,” Moss said. “When we get it going between (Kenneth) Wead, (Jack) Gruden, Zach (Farquhar) and Mitch (Hill), those are four pretty good shooters.” Sophomore Wead has made as many as six treys in a game and has hit for 29 points. Senior pivot Hill had five three-pointers in a 33-point game against Colerain. Sophomore Gruden and senior Dan Ginsburg are also reliable and Farquhar’s overall “triple threat” percent-

age is 42 percent. The problem is having the flinging five firing on all cylinders into the iron cylinders on the adjacent walls. Hill, the team’s top scorer who also is an inside threat and a Greater Miami Conference leader in blocks, has had off games when whistled for too many fouls. “He’s not the type of player that plays well with fouls,” Moss said. “When he gets fouls, he becomes a different type of player.” Ginsburg doesn’t loft as many three-balls, but is capable. However, he was injured in the first week of January and missed 17 days in between games. “Ginsburg was out with a concussion,” Moss said. “We have to get him back in shape.” When Ginsburg went down, sophomore Wead stepped up and led the Aves in scoring. The 6-foot-1 shooter should help Moss down the stretch and definitely will be a factor in the coming years. Like any perimeter popper, consistency comes and goes. See AVES, Page A7

CCD comes back from slow start, key losses By Mark D. Motz mmotz@communitypress.com

INDIAN HILL — To say the Cincinnati Country Day boys basketball team has had an unusual season would be an understatement on the lines of saying, “Atlanta had a little traffic problem after a recent dusting of snow.” To begin with, a lateseason football injury robbed the squad of what would have been its fourth-year starter at point guard, returning team captain J.R. Menifee. Then in early January, veteran head coach Howard Brownstein’s cancer treatments took too much out of him, forcing him to hand over the team to assistant Greg Ross while he recuperated. Instead of wallowing in self pity, the team ran off four-straight wins, leveled its record at 8-8 after a 27-point win at Ripley Jan. 29, and has itself playing its best basketball as the sectional tournament approaches. “When you lose a kid like J.R., that’s a lot to replace,” Ross said. “When you lose a coach like Howard, he’s a legend. He’s got 500 wins. Luckily I’ve been his assistant for 12 years. I was with him for his 400th and 500th wins. He’s not only been a great mentor, but a best friend. “The transition hasn’t been too bad. I obviously have learned lot from him and apply that in my own way. We talk every day. He’s watching then from afar and he’s really pleased with the progress they’ve made.” Thanks in part to senior Matt Walton, who assumed the captaincy and helps shoulder the scoring burden. Both he and classmate Cam Alldred average 11 points per game to lead the team, while Walton also pulls down more than eight rebounds a game.

“The guys look up to Matt because he’s been around four years,” Ross

said. “He was our only returning starter, really. He bears the brunt of a lot of our criticism. When things aren’t going well, we get after him because we know he can handle it.” Walton, a Montgomery resident, doesn’t mind the adversity. Or the spotlight. “I had to step in and take a leadership role,” he said. “We kind of started slow, but it’s on a swing for the better now. I love the competition. It really does bring out the best in you.” Walton has generated some interest from colleges seeking his services next season, but said he hasn’t decided if competitive basketball will be part of his future. Wherever he winds up, Walton plans to study physical therapy. The rise of junior point guard Royal Thurman has

been another plus for the Indians. He began going to games his dad coached at the Friars Club in a detachable car seat and won an AAU national title at age 8 with the Cincinnati Knights. “At the beginning it was pretty tough, but I realized I’ve played this game a long time and I could do it,” he said. “The up-and-down tempo, I seem to do pretty well with that.” Indeed, Thurman is the only Indians player listed in the top five of any statistical category on the Miami Valley Conference website, second in the league in assists at five per game. “He’s done an unbelievable job,” Ross said. “He’s really been a floor general. He’s kind of like a second coach out there. “We’ve got a lot of trust in him and he’s responded. He’s got a 2:1 assist-toturnover ratio, which is very good, and it’s important for us because he has the ball in his hands on about 95 percent of our possessions.”

“We want him to be a regular,” Moss said. “I think a lot of the stuff with him is confidence.” Another issue for Sycamore this winter was a strange quirk in the schedule that left them idle Jan. 11-24. In that time a game scheduled with Kings was snowed out, so the Aves were basically delayed on the runway for nearly two weeks. Upon return against Hamilton, they were sluggish. “There was a little malaise over my guys,” Moss said. “We thought our legs would go not playing for two weeks and that’s what hap-

pened.” Now over the scheduling hiccup, Moss’s men face a trying GMC schedule before they toss up a few tournament treys on whomever they draw. “I don’t think anyone’s going to want to play us in some ways because you just don’t know what you’re going to get,” Moss said. “You have to guard shooters.” If the stars are aligned, the Aves are a threat to take off.

Legislators make laws; businesses make decisions

My 45-plus years in business was educational to say the least. In that period I would say that most of my former employees would agree that it was a good place to work. At the top of our production there were two plants and more than 160 employees. One of our strongest points was in employee retention. The average employee in our industry was replaced in little over a year. We averaged over 10-year retention. One valued employee retired after 50 years. What was the difference? Where possible, we treated them fairly and as valued personnel. When it was not possible, it was not due to our decisions. It

was because taxes, work rules and union demands made growth and employment unprofitable. Edward Levy That came COMMUNITY PRESS at a time when GUEST COLUMNIST off-shore contracting was the best method of competition. We fought the trend with automation as long as we could. The decision was easy. A machine produced as much as four times what the former employee produced. And, it cost the same every year until it was paid off.

Mitchell Farm resident concerned about speeders Northeast Suburban Life and Cincinnati.com/Montgomery asked: What should be the top priorities for Montgomery officials in 2014? Resident Michael Carroll is concerned about traffic - specifically speeders - in his neighborhood: “I think the No. 1 priority needs to be the traffic concerns, and most importantly, the excessive speeding going on throughout Montgomery. I live on Mitchell Farm Lane, and have contacted the chief of police numerous times about the lack of patrol cars on the streets. Just drive by the police station any given day, at any given hour and all the cars are sitting in their parking lot. I constantly see cars going in excess of 50 mph down our street, and witnessed someone driving in excess of 65plus down Montgomery Road just last evening. The response from the chief to me was ‘we have a lot of surface streets in the city and can’t be everywhere.’ “He did put up a couple of those radar detector signs on our street for a week, but I’m sure that information gathered wasn’t used. I’ve given up calling or emailing their department. “I’m ready to move out of Montgomery for this reason. It will probably take a young child or elderly person to be hit by a car before anything is done about it. “My neighbor of 89 years of age told me that there use to be speed bumps on Mitchell Farm. He was on city council at the time, and it was a political move by someone and a builder to get them removed. “The new mayor needs to take on this problem now.”

We paid the operator a higher rate for the added production and the others were assigned new tasks. When they retired, they were not replaced. Slowly the number of employees dwindled. As our industry became more accepting of imported goods, we were forced to do the same. We sold the smaller plant. The employees understood why they were released. It was a decision that was forced on us. Laws have to be obeyed. Decisions are made to observe the laws. When those laws force businesses to make decisions that affect employees adversely it is all too easy for greedy politicians to blame

business. My intent is to show ways that this does not have to happen. Incentives usually work wonders. Perhaps no one has looked at the problem this way, but Newton’s laws of motion seem to apply. A body at rest (on unemployment or disability pay) will tend to remain at rest. A body that is motivated by incentives to work will remain in motion. What is needed is a system where unemployment benefits diminish with time and there is an incentive of tax rebates for becoming employed as early as possible. There should be a corresponding tax reduction for an employer that hires the

unemployed prior to the end of benefits. There should also be a benefit for those whose disability can be overcome by modification in the work place. This should apply to employers and employees. With the recent fudged unemployment figure of 6.7 percent and the falling actual percentage of employed people the question is, where will the money for benefits coming from? If you say it will be printed, unfortunately, you are right. History will repeat itself and will not be kind to all of the public. Edward Levy is a resident of Montgomery.

Tea party activists want to control local school boards

Ohio’s tea party activists focused on school board races around the state in last November’s elections. Statewide tea party school board candidates all had the same script: » cut school funding by opposing school levies; » cut teacher benefits and reimbursements for things like classroom supplies; » eliminate support services, sports, food services and busing; » a confusing “students first” pledge which in reality appeared more like a teachers last pledge or even a students are kind of important – but not as important as low property taxes pledge. They lost big time in most cases. Springboro, Olentangy (West Columbus) and Westerville all rejected the tea party school board candidates on their ballots. Locally, West Clermont Local School District wasn’t so lucky. In West Clermont, tea par-

ty member Jim Lewis received the most votes, followed closely by Steve Waldman and Mark Richard Merchant. Schwab Lewis, WaldCOMMUNITY PRESS man and MerGUEST COLUMNIST chant ran together on a tea party-inspired platform that vowed to protect overtaxed citizens from “mooching,” overpaid teachers. Lewis wrote,“In my mind, the fate of our future as a nation depends on turning back the hands of time and teaching our children instead of propagandizing them.” Lewis vows to fight against any new school levies that might be proposed by “illinformed do-gooders.” He states he will go forward “to slay the dragon that is public education in West Clermont.” Parents and community members in Clermont County, who are concerned with the

direction of their new school board, decided to step up and do something by forming “West Clermont United.” Members of West Clermont United say some of the new school board members don’t support public schools and that there’s an imbalance in the political views with the new board. “We are here to support the kids. Kids come first. Aside from all the political agendas. That needs to be left outside the policies for the school...We don’t really look at our public education system as something that needs to be slayed,” said Mike Steele, a local parent and member of West Clermont United. Steele says entering the new year, it’s time to pass a levy – something that he says hasn’t happened in years. He says, “I’ve got a daughter who’s in first grade who’s never been to an art class, never been to a gym class, never been to music. Our libraries at this point are being run by parent volunteers.

Otherwise our children wouldn’t have a library.” West Clermont United plans to have members of their group attend every school board meeting moving forward. The students, teachers and families in Ohio’s public school districts need school boards focused on ensuring that children receive the highest quality education possible.

children without a bed to sleep in.” Beds for Kids will work closely with Families Forward, a locally based resource center for schools, students and their families. “I think (this) will be nicely aligned with our services in meeting the full needs of our students,” said Deborah Allsop, executive director/CEO of Fam-

ilies Forward. “(This) will support their academic, social and emotional growth.” Families Forward will serve as a referral agency for Beds for Kids. Adams, a parent of three, said the organization will initially need to raise about $150,000. This will cover operational costs as well as provide beds for 500 children.

Adams said the children will be given a bed frame, mattress, sheets, a comforter and pillow. The organization hopes to obtain funding from foundation grants and corporate sponsors as well as private donations.

Moeller football honored at state capital

hio State Sens. Shannon Jones (R-Springboro), Joe Uecker (R–Miami Township) and Bill Seitz (R–Cincinnati) honored the Moeller High School football team for winning the 2013 Division I state championship. The Crusaders beat the

Mentor Cardinals 55-52, winning their second consecutive state championship, and ninth state championship in the program’s history. “Coach (John) Rodenberg’s guidance on and off the field is a huge contributor to the success of these young men,” Jones said. “This was a big

year for the Crusaders, not only winning the title, but breaking state records. I’m excited to see more from this great team next season.” “The Crusaders unwavering commitment and energy, and the dedication of coach Rodenberg let to a record-setting year and a well de-

served state title,” Seitz said. “I have no doubt they’ll continue to be successful in coming seasons, and I’ll be rooting for a third consecutive state championship.” “As a Moeller alumnus, I’m extremely proud of our young athletes for winning yet another state championship,”

Uecker said. “I guarantee we’ll be seeing great things from these young men as they take on the college arena.” Moeller set records for most points scored by a team, most combined points scored and most combined total yards in a Division I state final game.

CSC starts programs for kids Cancer Support Community recently received a $10,000 grant from the Charles H. Dater Foundation, which will help fund special support programs throughout 2014 for children dealing with cancer themselves or in their family. Called Kid Support, the 10week program is a free peer support group for children (ages 4-12) who have a family member or friend with cancer or have cancer themselves. The program features developmentally appropriate content and activities such as artistic expression, poems, stories, cartoons and games to help children feel comfortable asking questions, expressing difficult feelings and sharing common experiences. “The Charles H. Dater Foundation is committed to the children of the Greater Cincin-

nati area,” said Bruce A. Krone, Director of the Foundation. “We focus on providing financial support to programs that serve to improve the lives of children through diversified experiences and activities. This is in keeping with the philanthropic vision and goals of Charles H. Dater, in whose memory we serve.” More than 2,200 grants have been awarded since 1985, totaling over $35 million. According to CSC Program Director Kelly Schoen a cancer diagnosis impacts the entire family and can be especially confusing and frightening to the youngest family members. “We’re very grateful to the Dater Foundation for this funding,” said Schoen. “Children often have many worries, fears, and misconceptions

about cancer and if the concerns are not addressed it can put them at risk for emotional distress, behavioral problems, or trouble in school.” Kid Support begins with a parent orientation session at 5:30 p.m., on Thursday, March 6. Children are welcome to attend and will participate in a structured activity during the parent session. The children sessions then begin 5:30-7:30 p.m. the following Thursday, March 13, and run for 10 weeks. All activities take place at Cancer Support Community, 4918 Cooper Road, Blue Ash, are facilitated by trained professionals and are offered free of charge to participants thanks to this grant from the Dater Foundation. For reservations or more information, call 791-4060.

Dater Foundation for a $10,000 grant, which will help fund support programs throughout the year for children dealing with cancer themselves or in their family. THANKS TO BETTY COOKENDORFER

Chocolate treats perfect for Valentine’s Day

I always get sentimental around Valentine’s Day. I remember being a kid in second grade, hoping I’d get some Valentine cards from my classmates, particularly Bobby Simpson. It was always fun watching my boys when Rita they were Heikenfeld that age RITA’S KITCHEN choose special cards for their Valentines. Times change, but the message is the same. Anybody can be your Valentine, so remember those folks who have lent a helping hand, or who may just need cheering up. Send them a funny kid’s card with a note and, if you can, share one of these recipes with them. Chocolate rules!

Cappuccino mocha pudding cake aka Upside down hot fudge pudding cake If you’re making this for kids or someone who doesn’t like coffee flavor, leave out espresso. The fun thing about this is you learn a bit of food chemistry: the hot fudge sauce is poured over the top of the cake batter, and as the cake bakes, the sauce turns to pudding and sinks to the bottom while the cake batter rises to the top! Cake: 2 cups flour ⁄3 cup plus 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

2 teaspoons instant espresso coffee powder 1 tablespoon baking powder 11⁄2 cups sugar 1 cup chopped toasted walnuts or other nuts (optional) 1 cup milk 4 tablespoons melted butter 2 teaspoons vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9-inch by 13-inch pan. Whisk flour, cocoa, espresso powder, baking powder and sugar together. In separate bowl, whisk milk, butter and vanilla. Add this to dry ingredients and blend. Pour into pan. Pudding: 1 cup sugar 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 1 ⁄2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder 13⁄4 cup very hot water

Mix sugars and cocoa. Pour water over and whisk. Pour ever so gently and evenly over batter. Pudding will look quite thin but gets real thick as it bakes. Bake 30-35 minutes or until center is set and just firm to touch. Don’t over bake or you won’t get much pudding!

Diabetic chocolate lover’s cheesecake

I remember this recipe from friend and former colleague, Joanna Lund, founder of Healthy Exchanges. 1 pound fat-free cream cheese, room temperature 4 serving package sugar-free instant chocolate fudge pudding mix 2 ⁄3 cup nonfat dry milk

Rita’s chocolate pudding cake can be made with or without espresso powder.THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD powder 1 cup water 1 ⁄4 cup Cool Whip Lite 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 chocolate-flavored piecrust, 6 oz.

Garnish: 2 (21⁄2-inch squares) chocolate graham crackers, crushed 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Stir cream cheese with a spoon and add pudding mix, milk powder and water. Mix well using a whisk. Blend in Cool Whip and vanilla. Spread into crust. Sprinkle cracker crumbs and chips over top. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Serves 8. Each serving:

Calories 215, Fat 7 gm, Protein 26 gm, Carbs 644 mg

Easy chocolate fondue

This can be made ahead and reheated. Serve with chunks of fruit, cake, etc. I like to ladle some out for the kids before adding liqueur.

4 cups chocolate chips, your choice (approximately 24 oz.) 1 cup whipping cream, unwhipped 1 ⁄2 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla or 1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract Liqueur: Start with 2 tablespoons and go from there (optional) - I used

Put chips, cream and milk in pan. Whisk over low heat until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla and liqueur.

Tips from readers’ kitchens

Tortellini soup update. Sandy, a loyal reader, made the tortellini soup with spinach and used a 19 oz. bag of tortellini and found it was way too much for the quart of broth. She decided to add more broth, which worked. Sandy asked me to specify how much tortellini to put in. I would say start with 2 cups tortellini and go from

there. John Pancoast’s eggplant casserole. Mary Lou K. made this healthier by substituting whole wheat crackers for the topping and low-fat yogurt for the whipping cream. “It was very delicious and would make a great main dish, though we had it with trout and considered it our vegetable and starch,” she said.

Networking meeting for African American, Latino business professionals

Bi-Okoto provides traditional African drumming during the worship. TERRENCE HUGE/FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

World words The Blue Ash Presbyterian Church welcomed to the pulpit the Rev. Dr. Neal D. Presa, pastor of Middlesex, NJ, Presbyterian Church and moderator of the 220th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) for a special World Communion evening service.

Local worship leaders were also present. Music was provided by the choir of Pleasant Ridge Presbyterian Church, guitarist Carol Duebber and organists Bradley Finch and Allan Martin. The Bi-Okoto Cultural Institute also provided African drumming during the worship service.

A special professional networking event for African American and Latino business owners and leaders is coming to the Blue Ash from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12, at the CMC Office Complex, 10945 Reed Hartman Highway, 45242. The cost is $10 in advance through PayPal or at the door. The public relations and marketing communications company Wright Communications is sponsoring the event. “People have asked me why have a networking session especially designed for African American and Latino entrepreneurs and business leaders? It’s simple,” said Linda Wright, sponsor of the event. “There are unique challenges and opportunities

Black and Latino and Latina business owners are faced with. Also, studies show that minority business people are much more likely to actually refer and patronize other minority business owners.” The event will include “Speed Networking,” dynamic speakers and continental breakfast provided by All About Catering. The theme is: “Start the Year Off Wright With More Money: How To Make it, Grow It, Keep More (from Uncle Sam) and Pass It On.” The speakers will be: » Linda Wright, president of Wright Communications, who will speak on “How to Make More Money iin 2014 Through Effective Marketing Strategies” » Michelle Graves, AKA “The Money Lady,”

who will speak on “How To Grow Your Money” » A business tax expert from ComproTax Cincinnati, who will speak on “How To Keep More Of Your Money From Uncle Sam” » Ronald C. Todd II, president of SEEP, LLC Insurance Agency, who will speak on “Best Practices in 2014 to Pass Your Money To The Next Generation” “This event promises to be a high impact, high touch, highly effective networking event, that will be successful for each and everyone who attends. We are so sure of it, that we guarantee satisfaction or your money back,” Wright says. Seats are limited. Register now at 513-7613700 or wright communicationspr @gmail.com.

Students needed for Munich exchange The Munich Cincinnati Sister Cities organization is seeking participants for its 18th annual student exchange. This year’s exchange is able to offer participation assistance to qualifying students who attend high school in Cincinnati through a generous grant from the William Mallory International Student Exchange

Fund. The Sister Cities’ Student Exchange with Munich pairs a student from Munich with a student from Cincinnati aged 15 to 18. The student from Munich stays with his/ her partner in the spring for two weeks and then the Cincinnati student stays with his partner’s family that summer. Students spend their

Dachau. Last year’s participants came from Mariemont, Lakota, Covington Latin, and Elder high schools. They describe their experience as among the best times of their life and something they wish everyone would be brave enough to do. The exchange is open to all students the Great-

er Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. Students from any Cincinnati area high school, public or private, are invited to apply for both the exchange and the scholarships offered through the Mallory Exchange Fund. Students from Munich will visit Cincinnati this year during the weeks of April 12 to April 27. Stu-

dents from Cincinnati will visit Munich June 15 to July 1. Students do not need to speak German in order to participate in the exchange, they just have to want to learn more about themselves and the world. More information about the exchange and applications are available at munichcincinnati.org.

Justice French speaks to Blue Ash Montgomery Rotary

Tri-Health acquires Pulmonary Consultants TriHealth announced it has bought all five physicians and 13 employees of Pulmonary Consultants Inc., a pulmonary group practice for adults. The practice will now be known as TriHealth Pulmonary Medicine. The group will continue see patients at their primary location in Montgomery (10496 Montgomery Road) with satellite locations in Anderson Township, Bethesda Arrow Springs, Bethesda Butler and Bethesda North sleep centers. “Partnering with TriHealth means our patients will have access to the entire TriHealth system,” said Dr. Joseph E. Thorpe, founding member of Pulmonary Consultants Inc. “We are pleased to be the latest medical specialty physician practice to join TriHealth, as the organization seeks to better coordinate care between hos-

time sight-seeing, visiting their partner’s school, and building both friendships and understanding of a one another’s culture. Last year’ trip to Munich included among other events tours of the city, a weekend at a youth camp in the Bavarian Alps, a visit to a salt mine and the Koenigsee, as well as the Holocaust Memorial at
