White Oak church has a history of helping in Haiti By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
The dust from Tuesday’s Haitian earthquake was barely settled when Monfort Heights resident Bill Fudge started thinking about how to get in there and help. Fudge is part of the White Oak Christian Church congregation and has been doing ministry work in Haiti for more than two decades. Over the years, many of the church’s members have made the 1,500-mile trip to the Caribbean island nation, and worked side by side with people who they have built buildings and relationships with over the years. Becky Bennett, minister of Outreach and Communications at White Oak Christian, says the members at her church are invested in their Caribbean brothers and sisters. “We have a lot of connections there,” she said. “We were amazed at how quickly we heard from some of them.” Leon and Jacky Deorleans, who are ministry partners with White Oak Christian Church, operate Haitian Outreach Ministries. Leon was able to send an email Jan. 13 telling his Ohio friends he and his wife were well, and filling them in on conditions in his homeland.

For stories about how local schools are reaching out to Haitian earthquake victims, see the story on A4. Another ministry partner, Salonique Adolphe, wrote about the devastation he has seen. “I have seen some terrible situation and circumstances in my life: I remember how things were when Baby Doc (former country president and ruler Jean-Claude Duvalier) left the country,” he wrote. “I remember the minor earthquake that we had, especially in ‘94, I remember Hurricane Jeanne in 2004 and most recently hurricanes Hanna and Ike in 2008, but one can put all those

This is the outside of the church building White Oak Christian Church built at Cite Soliel in Haiti. The church was still standing after the quake, but reports are that it is no longer structurally sound. terrible events together and one would still be far from being in the situation where Port-au-Prince, and thus Haiti, is in today.” Messages such as this have weighed on Fudge, and he confessed he is itching to get to Haiti and do some hands-on helping. “I have already had calls from people who have said they are ready to go as soon as we pull a trip together,” he said. “My skills will be useful in clean up and rehab. I truthfully am biting at the bit to be able to help.” White Oak Christian planned to take a special offering on Sunday to get help on the ground in Haiti as quickly as possible.
“We have people there with HOM, so we know our money will be well used,” Bennett said. “I am sure we will do some other aidrelated collections, such as clothing drives, when we know what the needs are. Fudge said the emotional impact on the people is huge. Ministry partners in Haiti are still looking for family and friends. Fudge said he has not heard from two of the people he sponsors in Haiti and hopes they are well. “We have worked side by side and sponsored children in these areas, and we are anxious and hopeful to hear how they are doing. We are praying.”

Green Township administrators and members of the land use planning Committee are starting the process of updating the township’s land use plan. Members of the planning committee will meet several times over the next few months to review the existing plan, which was last updated in 2005, and make recommendations as to what changes should be made to the land use plan. “We view the land use plan as a living document,” said Green Township Development Director Adam Goetzman. “The goal is to look at the existing plan, see what works and track implementation of the plan over the past five years. Our changes are going to be built upon what’s happening on the ground in the neighborhoods.” He said the initial meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19, at the township administration building, 6303 Harrison Ave., will include a description of the

Mesch cooks up grand prize winner
By Heidi Fallon
hfallon@communitypress.com
Nadine Mesch is a culinary bridesmaid no more. The Springfield Township woman’s passion for cooking finally won her a grand prize in the Sister Schubert’s On a Roll Recipe Contest. That grand prize included all new kitchen appliances and her winning recipe published in the May issues of “Family Circle.” “I always joked that I was the bridesmaid,” Mesch said. “Before this contest, I’d entered five and came in first in four. “I missed the grand prizes which meant instead of a trip to Mexico, I won a taco bowl.
“Instead of the spa weekend, I won a yoga mat and one contest had a $3,000 grand prize. I got a cookbook.” Mesch is naturally thrilled with her new gas range, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher. “They are so beautiful, I decided the kitchen needed a change. We painted and replaced the countertops.” Mesch wasn’t always an award-winning cook. “I hated to cook when I was younger and when Keith and I got married, the only things I could manage was a box cake and hamburgers. “I followed my Betty Crocker cookbook like the Holy Grail.” Now, Mesch said, she

She’s quick to add that not every meal is a winner. “We have a family dinner every Wednesday and all our children who live in town come,” she said. “I saw a recipe for a casserole on the Internet and thought it sounded good. It was awful.
“Another time, I decided to add a bit of food coloring to pork gravy because it looked so pale. “It turned out purple, so I dimmed the lights and lit candles, but my family still noticed.” Mesch said she’s methodical about her meal preparations, especially if she’s entertaining. “I don’t want to be in the

Trustees had a Jan. 12 public hearing and will have the budget as the main topic at the Feb. 28 State of the Township presentation. The Sunday session will begin at 1:45 p.m. at The Grove, 9158 Winton Road, with township Administrator Mike Hinnenkamp explaining the budget process. Following the presentation, residents will have a chance to ask questions and discuss issues with township officials. While trustees have approved temporary appropriations for the year, the final budget isn’t due until March. Dealing with declining local government fund money and estate taxes, two of the township’s main
revenue sources, Hinnenkamp said his staff was forced to find ways to slash more than $1 million from the general fund. The general fund is the most flexible of the township’s 30 budget categories and has been used to subsidize departments like roads and service. Hinnenkamp said individual departments are now sharing the cost of administrative personnel salaries like the receptionist. That translates to $308,041 plus another $198,182 for sharing the cost of vehicle maintenance services. The township also is opting to keep $300,000 that had been going to Waycross Community Media.
That money is distributed to the township through a franchise agreement executed 25 years ago based on Time Warner and, more recently, Cincinnati Bell cable subscribers. While the township coffers will be solvent this year, Hinnenkamp said he’s concerned about the required budget carryover for 2012. “We’re projecting a carryover into 2011 of $629,000 when we need at least $1 million to keep us going into a new year,” Hinnenkamp said. “Trustees have never approved a budget without that one million carryover.” Hinnenkamp said the township has two options for raising needed revenues, both of which would need voter approval.

Police hope to stop bandit
By Jennie Key
jkey@communitypress.com
Colerain Township police spent last week visiting businesses along Colerain Avenue to stop a one-man crime wave. Police believe the same robber is responsible for four holdups of Colerain Avenue businesses in recent weeks and they hope to stop him in his tracks. Colerain Township Police and Hamilton County detectives are working together on the robberies. A number of area businesses now sport signs in their windows advising patrons to remove hoods, hats, scarves and sunglasses before entering. The robber struck Jan. 4, at the Michael’s Craft store at 9490 Colerain Ave., then Jan. 6 at the Blockbuster Video just a few blocks away. On Jan. 11, the Graeter’s Ice Cream, also a few blocks from Michael’s, was held up.
fortable.” The description of the robber in all four hold-ups has been similar: a male wearing a dark or gray hoodie, dark pants, and a black mask. In all of the robberies, the suspect has fled on foot and canine units have been unable to track him. The suspect indicates he has a gun in his pocket, but has not shown a weapon in any of the robberies. There have been customers in the businesses at the time of the robberies, but so far, no one has been hurt. And that’s how Meloy wants to keep it. He is hoping police can catch the bandit and put a stop to the robberies. Meloy says if you see something suspicious, give the township police department a call at 385-7404 or call the sheriff’s office at 825-1500. You can also call Crime Stoppers at 352-3040.

During the days following the Graeter’s robbery, Chief Dan Meloy says police officers visited businesses in the area, talking to them about crime prevention and offering posters telling patrons not to wear items that could be used to conceal their identities in the businesses. On Jan. 13, the robber hit the Arby’s on the southern end of Colerain Avenue. Meloy says perhaps the signs in the area canvassed last week moved him further south. The department plans to meet with business owners on the southern end of Colerain Avenue and make the whole township less attractive as a target. “I met with the exchange club and the business association and reminded them that they can decide what people can wear in their businesses, and I encouraged them to call us if they see anything unusual or if they feel uncom-

I applaud their achievements, and I look forward to their continued success as America’s next generation of leaders.” The United States Service Academies include the U.S. Military Academy (West

Braun Foundation helps kids Nine local area children are now reading better and keeping up with their schoolmates, thanks to a substantial sponsorship from the Bob Braun Sponsor a Child Fund. The children are affected by dyslexia, a common but manageable neurological condition that makes reading difficult. The scholarship enables them to attend the special dyslexia-tutoring program at the Carl and Edyth Lindner Masonic Leaning Centers for Children in Cincinnati and Norwood. One-to-one instruction by certified instructors and volunteer tutors helps students overcome the challenges of dyslexia through the Masonic Children’s Learning Center year long
program. While the Masonic program is provided free to the students, the cost of instruction exceeds $5,000 per pupil. This sponsorship allows nine students to receive instruction that can assure they will be performing up to their full potential. The funding was generated by the annual Teddy Bear 5K Walk/Run in 2009. Last year, 195 participants registered for the walk/run with proceeds going to the Bob Braun Sponsor a Child Fund. WKRC-TV Local 12 news anchor Rob Braun, son of the late Cincinnati entertainer and show host Bob
Braun, accepted the $45,000 from Arun Lai, cochair of the board of governors of the learning centers. The nine student scholarship winners were present as the check was awarded. “This is a special privilege to accept this contribution to the Bob Braun Sponsor a Child Fund,” said Rob Braun. “My father’s lifelong support of children’s causes is something my family is extremely proud of. The ability to use these funds to help nine students overcome the challenges of dyslexia is a lasting legacy. Reading well will open a world of opportunity to these kids.”
State Senator Bill Seitz (R-Dist. 8) is urging local high school seniors interested in attending one of Ohio’s career colleges, to apply for tuition assistance through the Ohio Association of Career Colleges and Schools Legislative Scholarship Program. The OACCS, in cooperation with the Ohio General Assembly and 48 participating career colleges and schools across the state, is offering more than 275 scholarships worth nearly $1 million for students in the class of 2010 who are pursuing post-secondary training for careers in business, law, technology, medicine, criminal justice, education and a variety of other professions. The available scholarships may cover up to onehalf of a student’s tuition or a specific dollar amount to be used toward the completion of a certificate, diploma or associate degree. Seitz said career colleges participating in the scholarship program include Brown Mackie, the Art Institute of Ohio, Beckfield College, ITT Technical Institute, National College and Southwestern College, which all have campuses in Hamilton County. “These schools offer students thorough, hands-on training in the career of their choice, passing along valu-
able job skills that can be immediately transferred to the workforce,” he said. “ Not to mention, these institutions can help build a strong, well-trained pool of workers that will help attract business investment to the state.” To be eligible for scholarship money, students do not have to demonstrate financial need, but they must have achieved a “C” grade average or better. In addition, applicants must be nominated by a current member of the Ohio General Assembly. All high school
seniors from the 8th Ohio Senate District, who are interested in applying for the OACCS Scholarship, can send their nomination form to State Senator Bill Seitz, Statehouse, Room 143, Columbus, OH 43215. Seitz’s contact information can also be found at www.ohiosenate.gov/billseitz. For more information about the OACCS Legislative Scholarship Program, please visit www.ohiocareercolleges.org.

Mount Healthy hooting on hardwood
By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
There’s some hardcore hardwood hooting going on Mount Healthy High School these days, as both Fighting Owls’ basketball teams are tied with Ross for first place in the Fort Ancient Valley Conference Scarlet divisions. “I’m excited about it,” said first-year boys’ head coach Steve Farquhar. The boys’ team, which started 0-3 against a brutal schedule, opened the year with a 65-61 overtime loss at Glen Este before dropping two other road games against Colerain and Roger Bacon. That trio is a combined 23-5 this season. “Those first three opponents were fantastic,” Farquhar said. “Colerain and Roger Bacon are two of the top teams in the city, and Glen Este is a big team that gave us trouble with their size.” Since then, however, the Owls (6-5, 3-1) have won six of eight, including five TONY MEALE/STAFF straight to end the month of Mount Healthy High School junior forward Jonessa Moore was dominant in a 58December.

The Lady Owls opened the year with a loss to Madeira before winning four straight, including victories over Talawanda and North College Hill. After losing to Ross, Mount Healthy defeated North Brown Prep in the opening round of the St. Andrews Holiday Classic, which was held in Boca Raton, Fla., Dec. 18-20. The Lady Owls, however, lost their next two games in the Classic and then dropped a road game against Turpin. They’ve since won four straight. Leading Mount Healthy through it all has been forward Jonessa Moore, who has been dominant in the paint this season. The junior leads the FAVC-Scarlet in scoring (13.5 points per game) and blocks (2.4) and is third in rebounding (10.3). She’s poured in 27 points in each of the last two games – a 58-50 win over Seton Jan. 11 and a

After the ninth frame, Matthew Crooker knew. “Usually when I hit eight in a row, it always comes down to the ninth frame,” the Colerain High School junior bowler said. “Once I got the ninth frame, I knew I would carry momentum over to the 10th.” And he did just that. In the second game of a 2,868-2,753 win over Lakota West at Colerain Bowl Jan. 6, Crooker bowled a perfect game. 12 rolls. 12 strikes. “My teammates were shocked,” Crooker said. His coaches weren’t. “Not at all,” said head coach Debbie Potzner. “Matt is an awesome, very consistent bowler. He’s had the highest average all season. He knows what he’s doing.” Crooker, who is fifth in the Greater Miami Conference with a 210.5 average, joins Middletown junior Christian Woodlawn as the only GMC bowlers to throw a 300 this year.

on Jan. 4, the senior bowled a 290 to set a school record. “He spared the first frame and struck the rest of the way out,” Potzner said. Ryan, who watched as Crooker broke the record in the very next match, was happy for his teammate. “They hugged,” Geiser said. “It was more out of a sense of friendship.” Interestingly enough, Crooker intentionally avoided throwing a 300 while prac-
ticing at Heid’s Lanes a few days before reaching perfection. “He hit 10 strikes in a row, and on his 11th throw, he purposefully rolled one in the gutter,” Geiser said. “He said he didn’t want his 300 that way. It would’ve been in practice in a non-sanctioned match, and it wouldn’t have meant anything.” Crooker, who started bowling at Heid’s Lanes when he was 8, thanked
The Northwest High School bowling teams both finished first at the Fort Ancient Valley Conference Tournament on Jan. 9. The boys’ team (4291) finished ahead of Glen Este (4257) by 34 pins. The Knights were led by sophomore Rickey Bender, who bowled a 706 in the three-game series. The girls’ team (3925) was more dominant, finishing ahead of Glen Este (3562) by 363 pins. The Lady Knights were led by senior Sarah Gadberry, who bowled a 662 in the threegame series, and junior Katie Johnson, who bowled a 638. The boys’ team, which has won the league title each of the last three years, moves to 7-2, while the girls’ team, which won its second straight conference championship, remains perfect at 9-0.

Ugly Tub?
By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The McAuley High School basketball team sits at 6-5 on the season, but the Mohawks should be an interesting team to watch at the end of the season. McAuley has had to deal with several unexpected hurdles early in the season, especially when it comes to injuries. The Mohawks lost their leading scorer, junior Malia Hess, to an ACL injury, and they have been playing without their point guard for the past month. “It’s been a little trying but in general the girls have rebounded well from adversity and injuries, and some other girls have stepped up into bigger roles,” said head coach Andrew Schroer. Kaitlyn Gerrety and Jenny Burgoyne are two players in particular that have been called upon to help fill the void. Gerrety had double-doubles against Ursuline and Colerain and leads the team in rebounding and Burgoyne is the team’s leading scorer at 10.3 points per game. “Our focus is now more on our forwards, which is our main scoring strength and defensive ability right now,” Schroer said. He also said senior guard Jamie Berling has been a key player for McAuley. The team has had a boost from several newer players as well. Melissa Sherpenberg, a sophomore forward, started the season on the junior varsity team but has been a key addition for the Mohawks on the varsity level. “She’s one of the program’s best interior defenders,” Schroer said. Sidney Stacey was the jayvee point guard but has stepped up on the varsity team to run the point after several injuries to McAuley guards. “She has all the talent in the world but she’s forced into a role of learning the

Despite the injuries, McAuley has been competitive with some of the best teams in the area. The Mohawks lost narrowly to Ursuline (59-50) and Colerain (40-38). “My expectations are to win and we’ve had a little inexperience in closing out tight games,” Schroer said. “We need the maturity to step up and make defensive stops and make free throws down the stretch.

EDITORIALS
What have been the biggest accomplishments and biggest failures during the first year of the Obama Administration? “Considering the Obama administration inherited the recession and two wars, they faced a tremendous challenge. I think the biggest accomplishments were directing our military leaders to end the war in Iraq, stabilizing the banking and insurance industry, saving the American auto industry and spear heading the health care program that everyone has talked about for 50 years but hasn't been able to accomplish. They cleared an important hurdle in health care reform debate by appropriating $19 billion in the stimulus packaage to help implement an electronic medical record system. His failure is being unable to bring the major political parties together. I guess every President will have this problem until the parties stop hating each other.” J.A. “There have been absolutely NO achievements or accomplishments as a result of the worst failure of a presidency in U.S. history, unless you consider lies, incompetence, malfeasance and socialism to be ‘achievements.’” J.G. “Biggest accomplishments are few. When you have minority leaders who do not care one whit about the people, only about their party regaining control, they throw up road blocks everywhere instead of trying to work out comprimises. “Whether health care, environment, or some Republican senator holding up a nomination (TSA designated head, as an example) they put us, the people, in jeopardy. “I don't expect agreement on all issues all the time, but the current Republicans are a hindrance to our well being. “Bring back the moderate Republican leadership. J.Z. “I really hate to be so negative, especially without providing specifics. But the fact is, the Chatroom feature doesn't really provide enough space to detail the truth about this president and what he has done (and failed to do) in his first year in office. “He is an arrogant, pompous, narcissistic, totally unqualified individual who thinks his ability to impress people with his rhetorical skills is enough to make him a success. “On the other hand, the actions he has taken with regard to government takeover of segments of private industry, and the amount of money he has helped to appropriate will be catastrophic to our country. “Perhaps the biggest faux pas this toothy egomaniac has pulled off is his unwarranted intrusion into the private sector – health care – under the mantra that the system was ‘broken,’ and somehow he and the Democrat controlled Congress had a right to interfere, and start imposing questionable, dangerous legislation on the nation's 300 million people. “And he doesn't care a whit about those who oppose his thinking, because he is an elitist snob. Other than that, I like him.” Bill B. “The biggest accomplishment? Let me think a little while longer

Not understanding that he (Obama) won because the American people were unhappy with the economy and the wars, not because they wanted their government to take a giant step the left.” T.H. “The Obama administration has allowed the United States to lift its head from the shameful posture embraced by the previous administration in response to climate change. “There are many opinions, but one opinion gives President Obama credit for having demonstrated the greatest leadership at the recent Copenhagen conference of any individual head of state in any international negotiation since the end of the second world war. “Be that as it may, the bottom line for most Americans is that the Obama administration has finally recognized that there are enormous opportunities to save money with energy efficiency. This is not only essential to climate response, it is also essential to modernizing the U.S. energy infrastructure and digging our way out of the economic hole which we find ourselves in, in part because we ship hundreds of billions of dollars overseas every year to buy oil, and more to Mexico and Canada to buy natural gas and more oil. “Barak Obama has created a political environment where ideas are beginning to flourish. The opposition is still profoundly rooted in opposition to everything. Show us some creativity, critics!” N.F.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Levy not needed
All politics may be local but the Northwest Local School District board’s plan for another “emergency” levy show symptoms of whatever has infected our Federal government. The proposal by the district is to replace the current “emergency” levy with a five-year “emergency” levy this May. The current levy, which passed by two votes, is due to expire next November. Consider the following with regard to need for another “emergency” levy: • Gov. (Ted) Strickland has promised an education plan undoubtedly adding to taxpayer obligations and district treasuries. • Casino gambling passed with the promise of bountiful tax revenue. • There are still unrecognized savings from declining enrollment, the closure of an elementary school and transfer of the

Feeling unsafe in Colerain I am writing today to voice my sincere disappointment regarding the “public safety” in Colerain Township. In the past few weeks, Blockbuster, Michael’s, Graeter’s, and now Arby’s have all been robbed on Colerain Avenue, in most situations, with customers in the store. At first, I thought it was a fluke that two establishments on the main avenue of our township were robbed, but now I must question that assumption. I have been educated to believe that a main goal of local government is community policing and protecting the welfare of those who reside in the community, but I am not seeing that goal being accomplished in any way shape or form. I am driven to write this letter today because I am personally fed up, I am sick of the crime, I am sick of the image that is being
established of Colerain Township, and I am sick of feeling unsafe in my own township. I have lived here for 20 years of my short 22 years of life and never, before this year, have I felt unsafe in the place I call home. There obviously has to be something amiss if this continues to occur week after week in one of the most popular and populated areas in our township. In addition to the robberies occurring in public establishments, my home was burglarized three weeks ago. I live in a Lakehills, a large neighborhood in Colerain Township where the occasional vandalism was expected, but a multitude of burglaries in broad daylight was never expected. The reporting officer in our sit-

uation was wonderful and took all of the necessary information, but never was my family contacted again by detectives, never was our home checked for viable finger prints. I understand in this down economy, there have been cut backs and public safety is probably struggling, but at what point do the people elected to ensure our safety take initiative and say enough is enough as our elected officials? I hope today is that day; I personally will no longer shop alone on Colerain Avenue or remain in my home without proper protection. It is far too risky! My well being and safety to remain unprotected in this township. I will continue to voice my concern over the safety of Colerain Township in whatever venue available. Kathleen Hammelrath lives on Longlake Court in Colerain Township.
Jan. 13 question
Fire shows mutual aid system works
“My wife and I are presently traveling in Jordan and Egypt. We travel a lot so security is important to us. If anybody wants to look at a profile of our bodies to make us more secure, great. “What we have noticed is that in the Middle East they go to great lengths to give the appearance of security, but don't really check much of anything. “For example, the entrance of our hotel has a metal detector and an X-ray belt for luggage, but they don't ever stop anyone. “Most tourist sites have metal detectors, but none of the armed guards ever seem to care if they go off. I have two artificial knee replacements and frequently they fail to trigger the detectors. This never happens in the U.S. “I would rather see people use what they have to full advantage rather than buy some new and expensive technology that they then ignore. “The capability to see more does not necessarily mean that anyone will look, or better yet take action, based on the information.” F.S.D.
Just after midnight an. 6, the Hamilton County Communications Center received a 911 call for a structure fire at the North Creek Apartment Complex North College Hill. The fire would eventually grow to three alarms bringing units from nine separate fire departments as well as secondary support from North College Hill and Springfield Township, police, the Red Cross, Duke Energy, the Hamilton County Fire Investigation Team, and the Hamilton County Communications Center. What sometimes get missed in the media are the stories behind the story, and I’d like to bring to everyone’s attention two of those. Because the six buildings in this apartment complex are ordinary wood frame with brick veneer construction and contain 24 units each, the first alarm received a heavy response assignment. In order of response, units from North College Hill, Mount Healthy, Springfield Township, Colerain Township and Greenhills were initially assigned to the fire. On arrival, it was apparent that many occupants were trapped either in their apartments or on their balconies and a second and then third alarm was struck. Working in bone-chilling cold with ice and snow everywhere, North College Hill and Mount Healthy units established a water

supply, while Springfield and Colerain townships crews began rescuing residents over ground ladders. A total of nine people, at least Robert one of whom Rielage was blind, were Community brought down ladders. Press these An unknown Columnist number of less endangered occupants followed additional fire crews who were doing a primary search of the building out the smoke-filled hallways to safety. This was possible because the fire in the garden level apartment was being held in check by an interior attack from another Colerain crew using a large 2-inch fire line off the Mount Healthy engine. Putting out the fire would take many additional fire lines. Second and third alarm companies from Forest Park, Wyoming, Green Township and Glendale helped control the fire’s spread. The first story within the story is that all this was done under a nearly seamless system of incident command that brought these nine departments together acting as one in a highly coordinated, yet complex manner to avoid this incident from becoming a fatal

fire. The intensive team effort in saving lives and containing the fire proves this system works. The second story within the story is that this coordinated effort happens a dozen times every day across the county as units from several fire departments are dispatched and work side by side to handle a variety of emergencies. In recent years, it has been the goal of the Hamilton County fire chiefs to utilize “automatic aid,” that is the simultaneous dispatch of units from multiple jurisdictions, to assure that there is the necessary number of firefighters on the initial response to handle most structure fires or critical emergencies that would strain any one jurisdiction. In part, this could not have been possible before the new Computer Aided Dispatch system became operational at the communications center. But it has also required standardization of training and assignments which now is the norm and not the exception across Hamilton County. The North Creek Apartment fire is an outstanding example of how a tragedy that was minutes away from happening was averted due the collaborative efforts of this system and the fire departments involved. Robert Rielage is the Wyoming Fire Chief and a Colerain Township resident.

The Venerable Koppakande Sumanajothi knew at the age of 10 he wanted to be a Buddhist monk and has fulfilled that dream as the Abbott of the newly expanded Buddhist community in Springfield Township.
Buddhist monastery expands shrine site By Heidi Fallon
hfallon@communitypress.com
A 100-year-old house in Springfield Township has become a home to Buddhist monks and a place of quiet meditation for others. The sign along 1831 Miles Road marks the Ohio Buddhist Vihara, a shrine for believers and those who want to learn about the Buddhist faith. It recently expanded with a new shrine and was celebrated in ceremonies attended by, among others, the Sri Lankan ambassador to the United States. “It is a wonderful addition to our community and
we are all pleased they picked Springfield Township,” said Trustee Tom Bryan, who was a part of the recent dedication ceremonies. The monastery has four monks in residence including Chief Abbot the Venerable Koppakande Sumanajothi. He came from Sri Lanka to the United States with the dream of founding a temple. Sumanajothi’s dream came true in 2003 when a woman from Texas bought and donated the two-acre site. He said he knew several people from his native Sri Lanka in the area and the site was accessible to
those in the immediate area as well as those as far away as Dayton, Columbus and Cleveland. Ben Rocklin, 17, discovered the monastery two years ago and has been coming for instruction, guidance and meditation. “I saw it and decided to check it out and I’m glad I did,” the Winton Woods High School senior said. “I was searching for something through my teen angst,” he said with a grin. “I needed some way to help myself develop and I’m learning the importance of compassion and it’s turned everything around for me.”

Dignitaries and the community were invited to the dedication of the Vihara’s new temple on Miles Road.

Rocklin said the teachings he’s been involved with are guiding him toward a possible career in psychology. “Or a rock band,” he added with a laugh. People of all ages, like Rocklin, are welcomed at the Vihara. Sumanajothi said there are services the second Sunday of each month from 2-4 p.m. that include family instruction. There also are evening classes and meditation. “Meditation is a powerful thing,” the 42-year-old monk said. “We learn quietness instead of noise making.” Roger Fisher, Fairfield, works for the monks as a sort of administrative assistant and caretaker. “I’ve been a Buddhist since before I was born I think,” he said. “There are many misconceptions about Buddhism but one of the main true beliefs is that every thing is treated with the greatest compassion.” The monks seek to maintain their Sri Lankan heritage while opening their temple to the Japanese branch, Shingon Esoteric Buddhism. “Anyone is welcome to come and find out more and visit with us,” Sumanajothi said. “We are here to teach and guide and be a place of serenity.” For more information, call 825-4961.

Bookstores, atheists and spiritual hunger Bookstore titles reveal much about a people. One of many noticeable content changes in recent years is the increase of books by atheists. We might wonder why such authors are motivated to expend all that time and effort writing about something they believe doesn’t exist. The reason they write, of course, is because there’s a market for their books. We live at a difficult moment in history. We’re stuck between a growing secular system with which we are uncomfortable, and a religious system we may feel we cannot fully embrace. Countless people sense an emptiness or confusion and wonder “What do I really believe in?” A spirituality revolution is taking place. On one side of the current indecision are writers who are atheists or agnostics. They present their arguments implying it’s foolish to still fall for the God stuff, organ-
ized religion, and beliefs other people instill in us. “Think for yourself and you’ll come to the same conclusion we do,” they insinuate. Currently Father Lou Guntzelman many people are uneasy saying Perspectives they are religious. They prefer to say they are spiritual rather than religious. Spiritual indicates they believe in God, prayer, the Bible, Jesus Christ, doing good for others, and possibly an afterlife in heaven. Religious implies an adherence to all the beliefs a particular church may espouse, an association with that church’s historic or present flaws, a perceived legalism rather than personalism, and a moral prudishness. Recent polls have shown a
surge in “nones,” i.e. people who profess they are not associated any longer with any religion. “The spirituality revolution is also discovered in the recent upwelling of spiritual feeling in young people throughout the world, who increasingly realize, often with some desperation, that society is in need of renewal, and that an awareness of spirit holds the key to our personal, social, and ecological survival,” writes David Tacey in “The Spirituality Revolution.” Is this an era becoming more open to being led by God’s Holy Spirit, or, in our arrogance, do we imagine that we have outgrown the sacred and that the notions of soul and spirit are archaisms of a former era? Yet the hunger for the sacred has increased in our time and we don’t know how to respond. What is wisdom and what is delusion? What comprises spiritual health and unhealthiness in ourselves
and others? Traditionally churches have distributed catechisms containing summations of beliefs. What seems needed now among searching and intelligent people are adequate contemporary explanations of beliefs. No longer can people be told just what to believe but convincingly explained why it is believed as truth. One Catholic cardinal recently lamented the degree of “theological illiteracy” among the Church’s membership. Sandra M. Schneiders writes, “The theology which undergirded our spirituality in the past cannot be resuscitated, and intelligent people cannot live a spirituality which is theological bootless. We are, to large extent, running on theological empty.” In a scientific and technological culture, are there still intelligent people around whose hearts grasp the legitimacy of also living a belief in the transcendent? Consider the words of Albert
Einstein: “The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead, a snuffed out candle. “To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is something that our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly: this is religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I am a devoutly religious man.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Watch for exclusions on travel insurance policy When you book an airline ticket on the Internet these days the airlines ask if you’d like to buy travel insurance. But, you need to know not all travel insurance is alike. In fact, many of the disasters that drive the sale of these particular insurance policies are just not covered. Laura Mieling of Clifton thought she was protecting herself when she went on Delta Air Line’s Web site and booked a plane ticket for a vacation three months later. “They give you the option of travel insurance. I looked at the page and it says it’s covered if you and your family gets sick or dies, so that’s why I did it,” she said. Mieling’s 69-year-old mother had been home battling cancer for the past year and a half so she said she bought the insurance just in case she had to cancel the plane trip. A month before her trip her mother did become seriously ill. “She went into hospice, basically. We had the meeting and she decided to do hospice. The doctor with hospice said she had two weeks to live,” she said. Mieling immediately canceled her plane ticket and applied to the insurance company for a refund of the air fare. Her mother died the day before she was to have left on that vacation. A few days later she
s p o k e with the t r a v e l insurance company about the refund. “They s a i d , Howard Ain ‘Well, did Hey Howard! she have cancer?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ She said, ‘Well, that’s a pre-existing condition so we can’t do it,’ ” said Mieling. Mieling said she never imagined this could happen, but after checking carefully through the insurance policy she did find that exclusion. She said, “They had the 20-something page policy that I didn’t bother to read – I don’t know who does. It said if it’s a pre-existing health condition you can’t get coverage. So, I said, ‘OK, they got me.’ ” Mieling checked the Internet and found dozens of other complaints about this same type of thing involving insurance policies sold on the Internet. A spokesman for that insurance company told me the policies sold on these Web sites are very inexpensive and so have exclusions contained in them. Instead of buying travel insurance from these Web sites, that insurance company spokesman said you can buy a policy from your travel agent and, while it will cost you more money, it will not have these exclusions.
Curves campaigns to make women stronger Curves locations in the Cincinnati area will be joining other Curves facilities throughout the world this month in a company-wide campaign called Stronger + Together, an international movement to make 1 million women healthier in 2010. The program will rely heavily on women sharing their success stories and providing confidence and inspiration to others. There are Curves gyms at: • 8588 Winton Road, 513-931-1300 or e-mail 9741WG7@curvesmail.com. • 8441 Colerain Ave. at Ronald Reagan Highway, 513-741-2800 or e-mail
9BJY0BY@curvesmail.com. • 5703 Cheviot Road, at 513-662-2254 or e-mail 97X3E4ML@curvesmail.com. The heart of the program is at www.Curves.com/ StrongerTogether, where women can find useful information about the new campaign, register for the campaign to join the cause, share their personal stories about how they were able to start a healthier lifestyle, and find a myriad of useful tools, such as easy-to-send e-mails designed for women to send messages of inspiration to loved ones and the option to create a personal profile to promote their story on the Web site.
He said that insurance company is considering adding a more comprehensive policy option to the Delta Air Lines Web site. If this option were offered, consumers would not only be more aware of
the exclusions, but they could have a choice of which type of policy to buy. A Delta spokeswoman told me the airline is following up with the insurance company on this suggestion.
Bottom line, before buying a travel insurance policy it’s important to carefully check out all the possible exclusions to make sure it will suit your needs. Troubleshooter Howard Ain

A ‘roasty’ dinner for cold weather meals Every January I clean out my files. The problem is, I have a hard time pitching much out. But this year I was ruthless and had five gargantuan garbage bags filled. Rita A n d Heikenfeld I’m lookRita’s kitchen ing at four filing cabinets (and they’re large ones) stuffed to the gills still. My kids tell me I should get rid of all my paper files. I tell them these files are my security blanket. I don’t trust computer-generated anything. I did find a whole bunch of wonderful recipes from readers like Mary Pollock, who sent me a wheat-free gingerbread muffin recipe for Pat Landrum, and a nice lady who personally delivered a “perfect pound cake recipe.” I hope to get to all of these soon.
Beef pot roast with garlic and ginger
Perfect for this bonechilling weather. Try roast-
ing in the oven, covered, at about 300 degrees for a couple or so hours.
1 chuck or other inexpensive roast, approx. 3 lbs. Oil for browning 1 ⁄4 cup hot water 3 ⁄4 teaspoon powdered ginger or 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1 tablespoon garlic, minced 1 ⁄4 cup soy sauce or more to taste 2 large onions, sliced 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 1⁄4 cup cold water Salt and pepper to taste Brown beef in a small amount of oil. Cover with water, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and onion. Cover and simmer about two to three hours, until tender, adding water as needed, about 1 cup. Remove meat. Add cornstarch mixture to sauce and stir until thick. Adjust seasonings. (May need to add a bit more cornstarch dissolved in a small amount of cold water). Serve over noodles or mashed potatoes.
Pogue’s French dressing
I can’t believe I finally
found this recipe in a stack, sent last year to me by Rosemary Auer who lives downtown. She and I had a nice chat when I was doing a demo at Macy’s Fountain Place. I hope Rosemary forgives me for just now finding it. You can add more ketchup or more vinegar and/or oil.
Whisk together: 1
⁄2 cup each: ketchup and sugar 1 ⁄3 cup each: oil and red wine vinegar 21⁄2 tablespoons grated onion (I’d go to taste on this) 1 ⁄2 teaspoon each: paprika, chili powder, salt, dry mustard, celery seed
Campbell’s Barn Restaurant & Saloon’s peanut butter pie
This restaurant on Ohio Pike, near Amelia, is serving up some mighty good food. I can’t wait to go there again and check out all the new offerings. I’ve had several requests for this pie, including Diana Salmon, who absolutely loves it. Tracy Luginbuhl, owner, graciously shared this recipe, which originated
with Our Place Restaurant. Campbell’s makes this pie in large quantities, and I appreciate them working out a home version. Now if you can’t find a 10-inch pie shell, go ahead and use what you have, knowing that you may have some filling left over. The Restaurant also serves a much-requested red wine vinegar Catalina type salad dressing, also originating from Our Place Restaurant.
1 pie shell, 10-inch, baked and cooled 16 oz. crunchy peanut butter 1 pound confectioner’s sugar Large container Cool Whip, thawed, or use whipping cream and whip until stiff Large box vanilla instant pudding Mix peanut butter with sugar. It should be crumbly. Add a bit more sugar if you need to so it crumbles between your fingers. Mix pudding according to directions, add 1 cup Cool Whip and allow to chill. Then mix 3⁄4 peanut butter mixture in with pudding mixture.
Cover top with rest of Cool Whip and sprinkle rest of peanut butter mixture on top.
Good cookie icing
This icing dries hard so cookies can be stacked After you make the icing, color as desired. For Marlene, a Northern Ky. reader.
Mix together:
1 cup confectioner’s sugar, sifted 2 teaspoons milk or water 2 teaspoons light corn syrup

Tips from Stephanie’s Seasoning Blends: Stephanie Laybourne is the proprietor of Stephanie’s Seasoning Blends, which are sold locally. Her blends make excellent marinades when mixed with extra virgin olive oil and vinegar, a 4:1 ratio. One of my favorites is her sea salt blend sprinkled on steamed veggies, grilled salmon and roasted potatoes. Her blends are wonderful when you’re starting children out with seasonings, as they are ultra flavorful
Handheld counter
A while back, a reader wrote in wanting to know where she could buy one of those handheld counters that were popular back in the 1970s for adding up grocery and store purchases. Known as "Handy Adder," "Quick Adder" or "Pocket Adder," these little plastic calculators are no longer made and hard to track down. My editor Lisa's mom recently found hers.

New one-day miracle for denture sufferers
Are you not eating what you want to because of difficulties with your dentures? Do they wander, shift or tilt? Are you replacing them all the time? Have you been told you don’t have enough bone for traditional dental implants?
MDIs, which measure 1.8 millimeters in diameter, are basically smaller versions of traditional implants that can be placed without the surgical opening of the gums. “If you can handle visiting your dentist in the morning, having the MDI system placed in less that two hours and then going out and enjoying lunch at your favorite restaurant while you eat comfortably, talk and smile with confidence, then you’re ready for this process,” says Dr. Omeltschenko. “It’s that easy. With MDIs your denture feels secure and is held firmly in place. At about a third of the price of traditional implants, they’re extremely affordable, too,” he adds. If your dentures are not firmly placed and you would like to experience the convenience that this technology can offer, call the office of Dr. Christopher Omeltschenko today at (513) 245-2200 for a free, no-obligation consultation (a $150 value).

Just for the record, Kentucky ranked #41, Ohio ranked #32 and Indiana came in at #21. Also for the record, Mississippi was #50 and the District of Columbia was not ranked. So where did these rankings come from? “To determine a state’s ‘Livability Rating’, each state’s rankings for 44 factors were averaged. The scale is 1 to 50, the higher the number, the better. Data used are for the most recent year in which comparable numbers are available from most states. All factors were given equal weight.” - Morgan Quitno Press. You are probably wondering what those 44 factors were. While some of the factors concerned education quality and health and safety aspects, others were things like how many roller coasters are located in a state (because of Kings Island and Cedar Point, Ohio ranked #3).

Are you in the center of God’s will for your life? Simply follow Proverbs 3:6, “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Where is the best place to live? This is not the best time of year to ask that question of those of us who live in the chilly north but look what one study said…
So where is the best place to live? It is in the center of God’s will for your life! For some of God’s people as recorded in the Bible, it was a mountain top. For others the best place was in the desert but wherever God leads, He has a wonderful plan for those who will follow Him. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Many times we concentrate on finding the right place instead of finding the right person in our life and that person is the Lord Jesus Christ. The peace Jeremiah is speaking of is a life of purpose and fulfillment. For Joseph and Mary it meant traveling to tiny Bethlehem and giving birth to the Christ child in a stable. Did you ever stop to think what the outcome would have been if they had said, “No, we won’t go to Bethlehem; it is too undesirable.”

Volunteers needed for Equestrian Games Thousands of volunteers are stilled needed to work hundreds of different jobs during the 16 days of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. The games will be held for the first time in American from Sept. 25 to Oct. 10 at the Kentucky Horse Park. “We need volunteers who can lend their expertise to help make these games a success, no matter their professional skill level,” said
Melissa Gamble, volunteer manager for the World Games 2010 Foundation. “You might work as a ticket-taker, an usher, work at a visitor information desk, or help with transportation or event services, but each is a very important part of how these games work every day,” she said. Volunteer positions for competition-specific duties are currently being selected,
but thousands of general volunteers are still needed. Volunteers can still register their interest at www.alltechfeigames.com/volunteer. In addition, there is still time to reconfirm your interest as a volunteer if you signed up within the past two years. To reconfirm interest or adjust current contact information e-mail volunteers@ feigames2010.org.

McClain performs in arts series Antsy McClain and the Troubadours will bring their music and humor to the Greater Cincinnati Performing Arts Society in a concert at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 30, at the St. Xavier Performance Center 600 W. North Bend Road. The show is presented by the Greater Cincinnati Performing Arts Society. Information about the show and ticketing can be found by going to www.gcparts.org or at 484-0157. Antsy McClain is best known as a humorist, but he has been raising the eyebrows of fans, critics and fellow songwriters with sings like “Falling in Love in America,” “The Big Time” and “What Could I Be Doing
(That Could Be Any Better Than This?)” His music has been featured in motion pictures, on television and international radio including NPR’s “All Things Considered.” McClain was born Ronnie Joe McClain, but was nicknamed Antsy by a junior high school football coach because of his high energy as a boy. He writes from a unique perspective, creating songs about life, love and loss as seen through the bay window of the 1970s style singlewide trailer in which he grew up. While his hometown trailer park, Pine View Heights, serves as a backdrop for the music (å la Gar-
rison Keiller’s Lake Wobegone), he doesn’t linger there long, taking his spellbound audiences on a journey through folk, country, rock and R&B, telling stories about the people who have had an impact on his life. Antsy performs solo and with a variety of talented musicians known affectionately as the Trailer Park Troubadours. Their live shows are a unique, critically-acclaimed mix of masterful musicianship and self-depricating humor for all ages. Aside from being a singer and band leader, Antsy McClain is also a visual artist, whose drawings and paintings have appeared in magazines and books.
Library series offers fresh alternatives
Movies, dining, events and more Metromix.com
Read more joy into your life with two series available at the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. One highlights a variety of authors. One highlights a variety of books. Both have the same purpose: to encourage reading by featuring some well-chosen titles of interest to readers looking for some fresh alternatives. All titles are available for checkout from the library’s collection. The 2010 Author Series: In addition to Rick Steves’ visit on March 27, the library will host intriguing discussions and book signings with other notable authors. Check your local branch or www.CincinnatiLibrary. org for times, specific locations, and more information. Meanwhile, save these dates: • Saturday, Feb. 6, 2 p.m. Doug Fine, “Farewell, My Subaru.” • Saturday, March 27, 2 p.m. Rick Steves, “Europe Through the Back Door Guidebook” series. • Saturday, June 12, 2 p.m. Catherine Hardwicke, “Twilight Director’s Notebook: The Story of How We Made the Movie.”
• Saturday, July 31, 2 p.m. Melissa Anelli, “Harry, A History: The True Story of a Boy Wizard, His Fans, and Life Inside the Harry Potter Phenomenon.” • Tuesday, September 21, 7 p.m. Gregory Maguire, the Wicked series. The 2010 Featured Book of the Month Series: The library starts the new year with a new edition of its Featured Book of the Month Series. Based on the success of the inaugural series for adults in 2009, the 2010 series will feature a selection for readers of all ages. One fiction or nonfiction title will be chosen for children, teens, and adults to read and enjoy each month. The books offer broad appeal, but you may not find them on a bestseller list. They represent the seemingly overlooked literary triumphs in the library’s collection. January’s selection for children is “The Underneath” by Kathi Appelt; for teens, “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie; and for adults it’s, “Farewell, My Subaru” by Doug Fine, who will visit the Main Library Feb. 6 as part of the 2010 Author Series.
