Neighbors worry about security By Jennie Key
jkey@communitypress.com
It was standing room only in Colerain Township’s trustee chambers Feb. 1 as neighbors from the Lake Hills subdivision gathered to talk about whether their homes are safe. A number of residents said they had heard rumors about burglaries and break-ins and wanted to know the facts about what is going on in their neighborhood. A group of police officers from Colerain Township and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s office met with the residents to discuss the crimes that have happened and to talk about what residents can do to be more safe. Colerain Police Lt. Angela Meyer shared some statistics with the group. In the past year, from January through December 2009, the community had four burglaries, two attempted burglaries, eight thefts, seven reports of vandalism and one assault. Colerain Police Detective Denny Deaton said the Lake Hills burglaries were similar to some committed in Forest Park, Springfield Township and Springdale. Residents at the meeting said they wanted more police presence in their neighborhood, and better communication from the homeowner’s association. Resident Melissa Moore said
Ideas for a safer community
JENNIE KEY/STAFF
Residents of Lake Hills subdivision met with police officials last week to discuss security concerns after a number of burglaries and car break-ins. the association needs to do a better job of letting residents know what’s going on in the community. Johnny Williams knew what was going on firsthand. He and wife Tereasa live on Longlake Drive. Someone tried to rob them Dec. 22. Johnny drove his wife to work and returned home. Normally, the couple drives together, but he had the day off, so he returned home. As he pulled into his garage, he decided to get a paper, so he pulled back out and drove up the street. He got home to find someone had kicked in the back door. His flat screen TV was off of the entertainment center and sat on the floor, partially disconnected from the cable box.
Nothing was taken in the break-in but the Williams’ sense of security was shaken. He says he was pleased with police response. “They were here in minutes.” And he was pleased to have someone from the crime unit come out and collect evidence. He wants to see the community blockwatch get stronger and neighbors look out for one another. Hamilton County Sheriff Capt. Rich Merschbach ran through a list of suggestions for residents. Do not hesitate to call the Hamilton County Dispatcher at 825-2280 or 911 if you see suspicious activity. Suspicious activity can include unfamiliar vehicle parked in the
Colerain launches text messaging
New program reaches parents and students By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
The Northwest Local School District is taking advantage of technology to stay in touch with students and parents. Colerain High School has implemented a new mass notification and alert system that rapidly notifies parents, students and employees of emergency situations, school closures and other critical and non-critical information through text messaging on their mobile phone. Principal Maureen Heintz says the new system, provided through Txtwire Communications, is completely voluntary but will save school officials time and streamline the process of getting information out to the people who need it. Heintz says she got the idea from Princeton High School Principal Walter Sprankles, who started a program at his school this year. Northwest High School principal Todd Bowling says his school is adopting the new program, as well, and will begin enrolling students Feb. 16.

Colerain High School administrative assistant Trudy Hardert helps senior Cameron Baldwin with the codes for the new school text message system. Heintz said about 48 percent of Colerain High School parents don’t have Internet access at home, and Bowling said that number tracks for his parents as well. “I am sending e-mails, but not all my parents can get them,” Heintz said. “Txtwire is another tool to connect with our parents and our students. I am really excited about it.” She said studies show more people with cell phones than land lines and 96 percent of text messages are read.

“People carry their cell phone with them wherever they go which makes it the easiest and most effective way to reach them,” she said. It’s already catching on. Heintz enrolled staff at an in-service program. In the week the program has been under way, she has 553 parents signed up and 824 students. Her goal is to have 100 percent of parents and students signed up. There are two ways to sign up for Cardinal Txtwire.

Police had some suggestions for residents concerned about security in their neighborhood. • Lights are a deterrent. The group is starting petitions for lighting districts. • Leave outside lights on from dusk to dawn. • Close garage doors. • Stop mail and papers while on vacation. • Register house with police department for vacation checks when you are away. • Put lights on timers inside your home. • Get to know your neighbors and communicate with them. area, unfamiliar people walking in the area, unusual noises, someone going door-to-door. Be observant. Try to remember a description of the person’s clothing, gender, age, and race. If describing a vehicle, the make, model, color and the direction of travel are helpful. Neighborhood resource officer Mike Hopewell encouraged neighbors to get involved with the community blockwatch. The Lake Hills block watch meets at Trinity Lutheran Church, 5921 Springdale Road. Call the police department at 385-7504 for dates and times of meetings.

White Oak youth help in Haiti relief Eighth-grade White Oak Middle School students Jesse McIntosh and Richard Schaffer volunteered in January at Mathew 25: Ministries in Blue Ash to aid in disaster relief for Haiti. Mathew 25 is a relief organization that has been responding to requests for aid following the 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti Jan. 12. “Our parents thought it would be a good idea for us to donate some time so we could understand what kind of disaster this is and what people are doing about it,” said McIntosh. The boys toured the facility and assisted with sorting clothing and other items donated by the community and various organizations.
They said they did not realize just how much an organization like Mathew 25 does, and how much work it takes to help people in need. “We really learned a lot. It’s pretty cool that so many people come out to help out too,” said Schaffer. “We’ve had about 5,000 volunteers since this happened. We had about 2,000 in the first week alone,” said White Oak resident John Canfield. Canfield is the nephew of Mathew 25 founder Wendell Mettey. He also oversees warehouse operations. Some who have joined in the relief effort are WLW personality Mike McConnell, Cyclones players
Jimmy Kilpatrick, Scott Reynolds, Dustin Sproat and Barrett Ehgoetz, former Bengal Eric Bell and Dave Lapham, musician Bootsy Collins, and Reds announcer Marty Brennaman. “We’re out here promoting volunteerism to get folks to come out. There’s a lot that’s needed,” said Bell. “This is such a beautiful thing that they do here that we had to come down and donate some time to help. To see so many people down here, it’s just so encouraging. I am just glad to be a part of it. It’s a blessing.” said Collins. “This is really an impressive endeavor. I would highly recommend to people, that have some

I can’t imagine, here and now today, anything better to devote their time, and volunteer to, than this,” said Brennaman. Schaeffer and McIntosh said they didn’t mind the unexpected reward of meeting some local icons during their visit. They also enjoyed the food which has been donated for weeks by Cincinnati
restaurants such as Skyline, Gold Star, Montgomery Inn, LaRosa’s, Olive Garden and Honeybaked Ham. “We will go back to help if something like this happens again,” said Schaffer. “This is something all kids should do. It really does make you feel pretty good to help people,” said McIntosh.

Lady Cards look to bounce back after loss By Tony Meale
Boys soaring
tmeale@communitypress.com
Entering a clash with Princeton that would determine sole possession of first place in the Greater Miami Conference, Colerain High School girls’ basketball coach Christi Mack had three keys to victory – and they all involved the number 15. Outrebound Princeton by at least 15. Get to the foul line 20 times and make 15 free throws. Turn the ball over 15 times or fewer. The Lady Cardinals accomplished one and a half of those goals; they outrebounded Princeton by 18 and got to the foul line 20 times, but they made only 12 free throws, and they committed 19 turnovers. Colerain lost 48-46. “Obviously it’s not the end of the season, and we’ve got to be able to bounce back,” Mack said after the game. “We’re going to see what kind of team we are tomorrow at practice.” The game couldn’t have started much better for Colerain. The Lady Cards hit a trio of treys to take an early 11-2 lead, and they led 187 after the first quarter. But Princeton employed a high-pressure defense to outscore Colerain 27-14 in the second and third quarters. “Princeton’s a great team. They throw a lot of things at you with their types of presses and the defenses they play, and they’re very good at it and they cause a lot of turnovers,” Mack said. “But as aggressive as Princeton’s press is, we have really good guards who can take care of the ball. And I’d say out of our 19 turnovers, 15 were unforced.”
The boys team (13-2 8-2), meanwhile, has won seven of its last eight games (entering play Feb. 5). The Cardinals trail only Princeton and Lakota West in the GMC standings; both are 9-1 in league play. Senior Ken Kunkel leads the team in scoring with 11.1 per game and is second in the GMC in rebounding (8.4). Forward Ben Vonderhaar leads the league in blocks (1.5) and is fourth in rebounds (8.3), while guard JoVonta Harrison is fifth in steals with 2.2 per contest.

Colerain High School senior Ashley Wanninger, left, drives hard to the hoop against Princeton senior Kayla Joiner during a home game Feb. 3. Wanninger scored a team-high 14 points, but it wasn’t enough. Princeton prevailed 48-46 to earn sole possession of first place in the Greater Miami Conference. Colerain entered the contest having committed 10 or fewer turnovers in each of its previous three games. Senior guard Ashley Wanninger, who has scored double-figures in all but one game this year – she was held to nine in a 52-38 win over Hamilton Dec. 5 – led Colerain with 14 points. Wanninger, however, was forced to the bench late in the third quarter against Princeton, saddled with four fouls. Yet Colerain, which starts three sophomores and one junior, kept the game close. “I thought we did much better (at that point of) really sticking together,” Mack said. “In the second quarter, we got a couple kids in foul trouble, and people started pointing fingers – and that
hasn’t been our team all year. We’ve really been a team that has stuck together, even with our young and inexperienced players.” Sophomores Shelly Harper and Sheaira Jones each scored nine points and combined for 20 rebounds. With the loss, Colerain (13-4, 9-3) fell into a threeway tie with Oak Hills and Lakota West for second place in the GMC. The Cardinals, which haven’t won a league title since 2001, need Princeton (16-2, 10-2) to lose at least one of its remaining conference games against Middletown or Fairfield. Unfortunately for Colerain, that duo is a combined 11-24 entering play Feb. 6. Wanninger, meanwhile,
continues her assault on the school’s career scoring record. Entering Colerain’s home game against Sycamore Feb. 6, Wanninger ranks third with 1,204 points. She is within striking distance of 2005 graduate Danielle Echols (1,222) and – pending how deep Colerain advances in the tournament – 2001 grad Quanita Hailey (1,283). “If good things happen for our team, she’s probably scoring, so it kind of goes hand-in-hand,” Mack said. “Ashley’s never mentioned (the scoring record) to me, and I don’t think there’s any part of her that’s a selfish player. I think as long as she lets the game come to her, good things will happen.” The Lady Cards close the

Progress continues in pool for La Salle
Lancers post many career bests at GCL Championships By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com
The always competitive Greater Catholic League Championships helped generate quality performances for La Salle High School’s swim team. Swimming side by side with the powerhouse St. Xavier squad and the talented Moeller Crusaders proved to be a boon for the Lancer’s times at the GCL finals Wednesday, Feb. 4. Despite La Salle’s thirdplace finish, head coach Mike Lienhart was pleased to report Lancer swimmers recorded lifetime bests in 85-percent of their races,
Lancers’ top times - GCL swim finals Here’s a quick look at some the La Salle Lancers’ top finishes at the Greater Catholic League Championships for swimming Wednesday, Feb. 3: • Relays – Second place in 400-yard freestyle relay at 3:20.65; Third place in 200 freestyle relay (1:32.41) and 200 medley relay (1:45.32) • 50-yard freestyle: 5th place, Colton Brauning, 22.84 • 100 freestyle: 5, Colton Brauning, 50.46 • 200 freestyle: 4, Joey Scherpenberg, 1:48.71 • 500 freestyle: 7, Ben Schneider, 5:07.46 • 100 backstroke: 2, Joey Scherpenberg, 54.96 • 100 breaststroke: 7, Drew Lonneman, 1:09.34 • 100 butterfly: 9, Colton Sayers, 57.93 • 200 individual medley: 5, Ben Schneider, 2:06.79 • One-meter diving: 4, Nathan Laux, 176.35 the coach said. “These guys have trained harder than anyone we’ve had in 10 or 15 years. They have worked so hard and we were very pleased,” Lienhart said of the GCL finals. La Salle scored 215 points while taking third at
the GCL finals behind firstplace St. Xavier at 494 and second-place Moeller at 259. St. Xavier is ranked No. 1 in Cincinnati with Moeller ranked No. 2 according to the Enquirer’s Division I Poll for week eight. La Salle was ranked No. 6 in the
Division I poll. La Salle only scored 181 points at the GCL finals last winter compared to its total of 215 points this season. “All of the training is working and we are very excited,” Lienhart said while looking forward to sectionals, districts and state. “We are expecting big things from them.” Lienhart was quick to credit his quartet of senior leaders for having a large hand in La Salle’s progress this winter, he said. The senior leaders include Joey Scherpenberg, Sam Sontag, Ben Rechel and C.J. Davis. “(Scherpenberg) has pretty much swam in every event for us this year,” Lienhart joked. “(Sontag) is coming on strong, but his leadership outside of the pool has been even more
valuable than his leadership in the water. “(Ben and C.J.) have been great leaders at practice and it’s really made my job as a coach even easier,” Lienhart added. Junior standouts Colton Brauning, Ben Schneider, Colton Sayers and Mark Specker have also been key contributors, Lienhart said. “We are hoping all three of our relays make it to state,” Lienhart said. “They all could potentially make it but we need peak performances at districts to get there.” La Salle travels to Miami University for the Division I District Championships on Friday, Feb. 19. Advancers will qualify for the state finals which take place in Canton, Ohio, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 26-27.

AquaBombers win GCL-South In a not-so-shocking turn of events, the St. Xavier High School swimming team won the GCL-South Championship Feb. 3. The Bombers, which tallied 494 points, finished ahead of Moeller (259), La Salle (215) and Elder (158). “Overall, we were pretty ecstatic about how the guys swam,” St. X head coach Jim Brower said. “We’re proud of how the kids prepared.” The Bombers won eight of 14 events. Sophomore John Galvin won the 200 freestyle (1:45.15) and the 100 butterfly (53.70), senior Ian Kranbuhl won the 100 backstroke (54.77) and senior Jack MacKinnon won the 100 breaststroke (1:01.53). Galvin – along with William London, Alexander Burgess and James Stenger – helped the 400 freestyle
relay team to a first-place finish (3:14.90), while Kranbuhl and MacKinnon led the 200 medley relay team to victory with Wesley Schmidt and Kyle Freudiger (1:38.76). Schmidt, Freudiger, Wyatt Landers and David Thomas won the 200 free relay (1:29.19). Senior Stefan Resendes, meanwhile, was 1-meter diving champion (243.10). “He was 15th in diving last year at state,” Brower said. “This year he has a chance to finish in the top 7 or 8, which would be a great accomplishment.” St. X won the league yet again with its depth. The Bombers had the top three swimmers in the 200 free, three of the top four in the 100 free and 500 free, two of the top three in the 50 free, four of the top five in the 100 back, four of the top six in the 100 back and four of the top seven in the 100
fly. “The way the meet it set up, we’re able to score some points just because of the depth of our team,” Brower said. “We’re able to fill every event with good, quality swimmers.” Moeller head coach Jay Frentsos was named was named GCL-South Coach of the Year. “I’m really happy that the GCL doesn’t just give (the award) to the coach whose team wins the meet,” Brower said. “You have to look at the resources each coach has. I would have no qualms voting for other coaches in the GCL. We all have a tremendous amount of respect for each other.” St. X also won the 27th annual Southwest Ohio High School Swimming and Diving Classic, which was held Jan. 16-17. The Bombers have won the event every year. They were led by seniors
Alex Miller and Sam Lipari. Miller won the 500 free (4:37.87) and the 1650 free (15:47.36), was third in the 400 IM (4:09.75) and was fourth in the 200 fly (1:57.62). “Coming in as a freshman, Alex was a solid swimmer but certainly not a star; it took him a few years to qualify for the state meet,” Brower said. “He trains hard every day. He’s comes in 15 minutes early to get a little extra work in. The coaches can’t take a day off because Alex doesn’t take a day off.” Lipari, meanwhile, won the 200 breast (2:10.56) and was second in the 400 IM (4:08.32) and sixth in the 100 breast (1:01.33). “He’s probably our best all-around swimmer,” Brower said. St. X, which has won 10 of the last 11 state titles, is gearing up for another strong postseason.

FRESH AIR: HIGH ON HOME IMPROVEMENT LIST
The number of people suffering from asthma and other airborne allergies is on the rise. With asthma striking 1 out of every 4 Americans, it is no wonder that creating clean indoor air quality is high on every home improvement project list. There are three main irritants that cause an allergic reaction in most people: Dust, mold, and chemicals. Allergy specialists suggest that the first steps toward a better environment are to clean up and dry out.Thoroughly vacuum everywhere pet dander and dust accumulate and wipe exposed surfaces with a damp cloth. Check under sinks and tubs for mold. Make sure that your cleaning products aren’t causing a reaction. There are several “green” non-allergenic cleaning products on the market to use as an alternative. Dust and dirt imbedded in wall to wall carpeting, so one of the first major improvementsrecommendedistoinstallhardwoodortileflooringthroughout. Instead of overburdening your family’s lungs give your house a set with an Energy Recovery Ventilator system that pulls out the stale air and brings in fresh, purified, allergen-free air from the outside. Although some renovations have higher price tags, your family’s health is priceless. Ask your REALTOR® about what home improvements carry the best resale value.

Lesson Learned I remember a valuable lesson I learned as a young man. I thought I would do my father a big favor and check the oil in his van. It read two quarts low, so I took the initiative and added some oil for him. Once Dad caught wind of it he was a bit nervous. He was skeptical about my general knowledge of motor vehicles so he asked a few questions. Good thing he did, I had just poured 2 quarts of 10W40 oil into his power steering unit! Lesson learned. Disaster averted.

When it comes to our homes, people often take for granted the sophisticated systems and components within them. A project that starts out as a cost saving measure can easily turn into a disaster. Before starting a project, do your research, start with good planning, and call in a pro when needed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Stand up
I received my Duke Energy bill and was astonished at the Hamilton County sales tax that is now being applied. Also, again PUCO approved a rate hike of on average $6.68 per 100 kw. I received my water bills from Cincinnati Water Works and inside was the rate hike scheduled approved by the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners again on the sewer charges. Seriously, the sewer charges are now triple what the water charges are. We as hard working citizens cannot endure any more rate hikes or tax increases. If you agree, e-mail dbanks64@cinci.rr.com and let’s stand up and make our voices heard. Deanna Banks Springdale Road Colerain Township
Middle class not all the same
President Obama now wants to help the middle class with targeted tax cuts. Well, Mr. President, not all of us in the middle class fall into your targeted group. Do we not work just as hard or long? Are we not worthy of our money as your target group is to theirs and ours?
It seems you like to pick winners and losers, Mr. President. Should my standard of living be lowered so someone else’s can be raised without any sweat or extra hard work on their part? Should it be my sacrifice and not theirs? In your new green economy, there may well be good paying jobs 15 to 20 years down the road, but the unemployed want good jobs now, not green jobs tomorrow. So if you want to fight for the middle class as a whole, don’t give us a new tax cut, give it to the people who own ad operate businesses and those who aspire to. That plus getting more oil and gas production into the pipeline to lower prices at the pump would help. $2.50-plus is the real job killer. Fight for me, Mr. President. I’m waiting. Edward Bakes East Miami River Road Colerain Township
Tea Party members respond
My name is Nita Thomas. I, along with my husband Roger are leaders of the Northwest Side Tea Party. We started our group last August with seven members and have grown into two groups – the Southwest Side with about 110
Tea Party responds to criticism
There seems to be a growing propaganda campaign to discredit the Tea Party movement in order to distract from the underlying message of the need for principle based leadership. The recent article by Anne Uchtman was a great example and similar attacks are playing out across the media. Here are the simple facts in response to the insinuations. “It all began in early 2009, led by Republican Dick Armey.” Fact: Speaking for our group, who the heck is Dick Armey! Yes I know who Dick Armey is but he has had no contact with the Cincinnati Tea Party. The origin of the current Tea Party movement is CNBC correspondent Rick Santelli’s impromptu speech about the government bailouts on Feb. 19, 2009. His call for a “tea party” revolt to protest subsidizing failure gave voice to the frustration felt by all of us about the unprecedented government takeover of business. “Has any president … solved all the problems in one year.” Fact: No, no president has solved an economic disaster like the current depression in one year’s time. However, no president has ever tripled the deficit in a single year either! “How then did these ‘Tea’ people get so angry in just three months?” Fact: That’s an easy one: $787 billion “stimulus,” $3.4 trillion budget with $1.4 trillion deficit, government takeover of GM, Chrysler, AIG, Fannie Mae, etc. The enormous expansion of government control and deficit spending prompted outrage in anyone who was watching and has a basic understanding of democracy and math! The Tea Party is a non-partisan, spontaneous eruption of people with shared concerns and prin-
members and the Northwest side with over 130 members. Yes, many of these people are angry; angry at government bailouts and government expansion. The Cincinnati Tea Party's three core values are simple: Fiscal responsibility, Limited government, Free markets. We will encourage any candidate who embraces these values. As for being a sub-culture of the Republican Party - last November in the New York 23rd District congressional race we were asked to support liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava over the true conservative candidate Doug Hoffman – we refused. Dede Scozzafava was forced to pull out of the race and the Democratic candidate won because the Republican Party thought, like Anne, that we are in lock-step with them. Is this the action citizens would engage in if they were an arm of the Republican Party? As for clever but disgusting tactics – I wonder how the Louisiana Purchase and the Cornhusker Kickback are viewed. Talk about fishy – if the health care bill is so good, why is it necessary to bribe and buy votes? In closing, I would like to say Tea Party people are aware and engaged and intend to “Take Back

America” no matter how much we are mislabeled, discredited and our intent misrepresented. Nita and Roger Thomas Jessup Road Green Township
Tea party is independent
The Democrats continue to give too much credit to the Republicans by implying that the Tea Party movement is some Republican undercover organization. The Tea Party has been around for a long time. It has risen to prominence because we are “Taxed Enough Already,” and, of late, government spending, by both parties, has reached critical mass. For you to believe, as do most Obama supporters, that opposition is simply based on personal dislike is silly and quite frankly offensive. The Dems have been in control
since 2006, please note that Republican votes are not needed, yet they are unable to “sell” their big government agenda to the smart citizens of this great country. The Tea Party is an advocate for every working American who deserves to enjoy the fruits of their own labor instead of being told what, where and how to spend their earnings. Stop blaming others for the failings of the Democratic party. Your failings are due to unpopular policy and arrogance. God bless the Tea Party and every citizen who stands against wasteful government spending and oppressive laws/policies. Shame on those who ridicule others for their efforts to represent common taxpayers. Shawn Curtis Pebbleknoll Drive Colerain Township
Prevention best tool to deal with bed bugs George Brunemann Community Press guest columnist
ciples. Our group started as 35 friends gathered in our living room to exchange ideas on how to combat the progressive/socialist takeover of the United States. After that discussion we approached Mike Wilson because the concerns and principles the he laid out for the Cincinnati Tea Party at the March 15 demonstration on Fountain Square were identical to our living room discussion. The Tea Party movement is actually extremely simple to define – A shared belief in three fundamental principles: • Fiscal responsibility, • Limited government, • Free markets. This great nation was founded on these principles and will continue to decay until these values are restored. Everything we do is a direct consequence of the need to return our country to these fundamental truths. Political parties, leaders, anyone who embraces these principles is welcome and will receive our support. Anyone who opposes these principles will receive all the pressure we can muster to overcome their obstruction to restoring democracy. We are working for real change for the better of the country, not a hollow campaign promise with a hidden agenda for its demise. As Thomas Jefferson once said: “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” We have been quiet for far too long, including the Bush years, and are now suffering the consequence of that mistake. We will be silent no more! George Brunemann is a leader of the Southwest Cincinnati Tea Party. See the Web site at http://cincinnatiteaparty. com/events.htm for more information.
Bed bugs, long believed to be eradicated in our country, have made their presence known in the past several years. Most bed bug complaints to Hamilton County Public Health are residential in nature, also mostly from renters, and it is understandable that many people are concerned when they find bed bugs in their homes. We are available to help determine the best way to get rid of the problem, but prevention is actually the best tool we can use help contain the bed bug problem. Bed bugs are a wingless insect found worldwide that feed off the blood of humans and other animals. Bed bugs, although unpleasant, are not known to transmit diseases to humans. Contrary to popular belief,
presence of bed bugs is not an indicator of unsanitary living conditions. They may be found in homes, motels, movie theaters, transTim Ingram portation depots Community and restrooms. bugs do Press guest notBed fly or jump, columnist but they do move quickly and can hitch hike on just about anything including furniture, clothes or luggage. In our own homes and when traveling, there are things we can look for to make sure bed bugs are not around. Some general guidelines are:
PRESS
• Reduce the amount of clutter to eliminate hiding places. • Inspect furniture brought into your home. • When returning from a trip, inspect your luggage and clothes for bed bugs. • At home or when staying in hotels or motels, examine the bed linens and mattress seems for the bugs, looking for dark stains around the mattress seems. • Cover mattresses and box springs with covers that zip closed. If bed bugs are found in your home, it is best to contact a licensed pest control company. More information on treating bed bugs can be found at www.hamiltoncountyhealth.org. Tim Ingram is the Health Commissioner for Hamilton County.
CH@TROOM Last week’s question:
What is the best thing the president and Congress can do to reduce unemployment? “The government spent billions to bail out the banks yet has not been successful in adding new jobs. The unemployment continues to stay at record levels. It appears there are 10-15 million illegal aliens in the U.S. Perhaps if they were deported the jobs and welfare they are taking up might be better utilized for American citizens. Between those jobs and the jobs sent over seas the U.S. may not even have enough jobs for its citizens. I hope for an entire turnover of the Government in Washington in the next few years. Never has such incompetence been on display. It seems that those who can, do; those who can’t run for office. Go Figure!” T.D.T. “President Obama could send stimulus money to commuity banks and make special loans to small ‘start-up’ businesses who want to hire local people. Then, it
would be good if he could get rid of the Republicans who would surely vote against it.” A.T. “We should export all lobbyists. Impeach the president and Congress, both Democrats and Republicans for malfeasance. They are not any better than a third-country dictatorship with more corruption than ethics. Elect officials that have actually worked for a living and had to earn their wages and benefits. Go back to using “The United States Constitution” and “The Bill of Rights” as the basis for making laws, not personal gain. This would create a positive sentiment to employers and workers alike. “ L.M. “During the 1930s, we stimulated the economy by creating construction projects to build public works, many of which are still here today. We even funded artists to create public artwork. We got something lasting for all the debt we took on. “This time around, we seemed to have used the money to fill

We should be wondering as we wander
Why are there so many vivacious children and so many dull adults? Why? Because we live in a world that does not encourage awe and wonder. As a child we were in a constant state of wonder. Each day we were like guests at a smorgasbord. We were constantly touching, tasting, looking and marveling at interesting objects and sounds. Sometimes there were even things that escalated wonder into awe. But gradually wonder and awe gets squeezed out of us. To wonder means to recognize that we were in the presence of mystery. But we have lowered the ceiling to avoid acknowledging anything beyond. And as we become more competent and gain mastery over ourselves and the things around us, wonder diminishes. But might we not ask, “Can’t our competence lead us to more wonder?” The earliest philosophers recognized that philosophy itself begins with wonder. And if philosophy is authentic, it will end there too. Rabbi Abraham Heschel noted that the worst of sins is to take life for granted. Children have not learned to commit that sin. True poets and mystics fight against committing it. Yet we say, “Been there, done that.” How did we slay wonder? The former director of the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear Studies, scientist
William G. Pollard, says a chief characteristic of 18thand 19thcentury science a Father Lou was Guntzelman sense of demolishPerspectives ing mystery. Nature’s secrets were being unlocked and hopes arose that eventually one great formula would be found to explain everything. “But,” he added, “the great scientists of our century underscore the openness of science. … We find the reintroduction of mystery at a very profound and deep level.” If we are, instead, seduced by the powers of science it leads us to pay attention to only a part of reality – the functional or classifiable part. But we are more than functional and classifiable. We are unique individuals and deeply mysterious. Peo-

If we are oblivious to mystery we diminish ourselves. To try and regain a sense of wonder and awe, Chesterton said that we have to look at familiar things until they become strange. ple who are alienated from mystery and wonder are alienated from themselves. If we are oblivious to mystery we diminish ourselves. To try and regain a sense of wonder and awe, Chesterton said that we have to look at familiar things until they become strange. In that same manner, author Joseph Gallagher notes, “Really looking, really listening, really paying attention: these are skills which are seemingly a natural part of childhood, probably because a child hasn’t grown ‘practical’ enough to limit his gaze to what is functional about a thing. ... Such an attentiveness requires an exercise of reverence toward reality, an openness, a zone of interior silence where static won’t jam out the messages of meaning emitted by things.”
CUSTOMERAPPRECIATIONWEEK
We work against ourselves when we create our own static that overpowers wonder and mystery. Don’t we mistake an intensely busy life with a meaningfully connected one? Eugene H. Peterson writes, “The workplace is where this diminishing of wonder goes on most consistently and thoroughly... information and competence are key values here... We don’t want to waste time by staring at something. And in his book ‘Awe,’ Paul Pearsall Ph. D. says that our brain “...is

more interested in its usual fixation on the Fs of fighting, fleeing, feeding or fornicating.” We must seek, and allow, wonder to touch our lives else we atrophy. I appreciate the sense of wonder expressed by poet Elizabeth Michael Boyle:
“Who am I?”
I am a child of the universe a woman of earth a creature of God. I stand in awe of the ever
expanding universe birthing a nursery of galaxies, compressing the weight of a billion stars the size of our sun into a minute black hole the size of my thumb.” There is not a shortage of opportunities for our wonderment and awe.

What’s the first word that comes to mind when someone mentions Valentine’s Day? For me, it’s chocolate. And, really, it’s not a bad thing since chocolate contains lots of good things, like antioxidants. Now I will admit the recipe I’m sharing today

COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD
One of Janice Mehallick’s chocolate gobs or “whoopee pie.”
Filling:
5 tablespoons flour 1 cup milk 1 cup sugar 1 stick butter, softened 1 ⁄2 cup vegetable shortening 1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cream sugar and shortening until fluffy. Add eggs and continue to beat. Stir together buttermilk, boiling water, vanilla, and blend this into the creamed mixture at low speed. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa. Add to mixture 1 cup at a time, blending well at low speed. Batter will be very thin but do not worry. Drop by teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for five minutes. Allow to cool and transfer onto waxed paper. To make the filling, place flour into saucepan and slowly add milk, stirring until smooth. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring until very thick. Mixture should become as thick as solid vegetable shortening. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Cream together sugar, butter, shortening,
513.522.2080 513.931.Hand
and vanilla. Add the cooled flour mixture and whip until fluffy. Spread onto bottom side of cookie and top with another cookie to make a sandwich. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator.
Maribelle’s sweet and sour chicken soup
Reader Sandy Keiser couldn’t believe her luck when Maribelle’s Tavern (2062 Riverside Drive in the historic East End of Cincinnati, 513-861-2484) agreed to share this recipe. Sandy said it was a “Spicy Thai chicken soup with vegetables; mmmm good!” I couldn’t believe my luck, either, when Chef Mike Florea responded so quickly. He said, “This recipe is from Chris Florea, my brother and a cook in our kitchen. Chris is also responsible for our delicious brunch menu on Sundays.” Soups, surf or turf specials vary daily and all the food is fresh and made to order. I can tell you myself that it’s a fun place to go and next time we stop in, I’m getting this soup! Check them out at maribellestavern.com for more information. (I found Mae Ploy chili sauce at Kroger in a smaller bottle. I use it for all sorts of things – it’s sweet but very hot/spicy, as well.) This is a big batch soup, so would be perfect for entertaining.

IHOP pancake giveaway returns IHOP has announced plans to serve millions of free pancakes again next year in celebration of National Pancake Day on Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2010. Planned as a celebration of friends, family and community, IHOP hopes the program will raise $1.75 million for Children’s Miracle Network, an international nonprofit organization that raises funds for children’s hospitals, and other worthy local causes. IHOP Restaurants in the community include one at 9540 Colerain Ave. across from Northgate Mall and one at 1217 Omniplex Drive across from Cincinnati Mills.
2010 will mark IHOP’s fifth year celebrating the national event and the company has set an ambitious goal to raise a cumulative $5 million for charity in the first five years of its free flapjack philanthropic effort. More than 1,400 IHOP restaurants throughout the United States will once again invite guests to enjoy a free short stack of IHOP’s signature buttermilk pancakes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. during National Pancake Day. In return, IHOP guests are asked to donate what they would have paid for the free pancakes, or more, to the Children’s Miracle Network hospital in their
community, or another designated local cause. Children’s Miracle Network “Miracle Balloons” will be sold for $1 and $5 each and will be personalized and displayed at participating IHOP restaurants through Feb. 23. Miracle Balloon sales offer guests another way to show their support of Children’s Miracle Network and contribute to the National Pancake Day fundraising effort. In 2009, IHOP gave away three million pancakes and raised nearly $1.5 million in support of Children’s Miracle Network and other local charities, far exceeding its goal to raise $1 million.

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
