Colerain Township is giving Geraldine Drive a $900,000-plus makeover and the state is going to pay for it. State Capital Improvement Program funds are paying for the project. They come from the sale of bonds sold by the state to repair or replace existing McClain infrastructure. The funds may be awarded as grants or loans. The Ohio Public Works Commission administers the program, and there is a local committee that ranks and recommends projects. The OPWC has approved a grant for the reconstruction of Geraldine Drive, a residential street near Acre Drive and Breezy Way Drive in the southern end of the township. The work will rebuild the street from end to end, removing the

Geraldine Drive is not the only street the township is fixing using other people’s money with grants from the Ohio Public Works Commission. The township is finishing the $403,700 reconstruction of Belhaven Drive and Flamingo Lane with a SCIP grant of $282,590. According to Hamilton County Engineer’s Office records, Colerain Township has received more than $8.6 million in State Capital Improvement grants and Local Transportation Improvements Program funds since 1989 when the program began distributing money.

Geraldine Drive has deep pot holes, crumbling edges and a lot of bumps. A state grant will help smooth the way for motorists. pavement and installing rolled concrete curb and gutters. The project will replace driveway aprons, the storm sewer and catch basins along the road. Public Works Director Bruce McClain told trustees the township will pay a 30 percent match for

the work. The township was fortunate to get the grant; the Geraldine Drive project was a contingency project, and only received the grant because another community that had been awarded money withdrew its project, freeing up the funds. The roadwork’s estimated cost is $902,250; the township will pay 30 percent, or $270,675. The remainder – $631,575 – will be picked up by the grant. McClain said he plans to have the bid awarded by the end of the year so work can begin in 2011. Colerain Township does not have a dedicated road levy, so McClain says grants such as this one make it possible to do some

work on township streets each year. Trustee Joseph Wolterman says the grant is a big plus. “That’s $631,000 we didn’t have before,” he said. “Our managers do a good job getting these grants. Residents are pleased, as well. Joseph McMahon says the street has bumps, cracks and big holes. He’s looking forward to the work getting started. “It’s a beautiful thing,” McMahon said. “I have envied streets where they have done this work. They look so smooth and nice. We live in the cul-de-sac and the kids like to ride their Razor Scooters, but those little wheels hit those holes, and they fall all day. This will be nice. I can’t wait.”

GoodTimers Poker run is Aug. 15 By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com

Good people doing good things. For 10 years, the GoodTimers have sponsored a good thing: an old-fash-

Registration for this year’s event begins at 9 a.m. and the ride leaves at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 15, from the Gailey VFW Hall, 8326 Brownsway Lane. Scherz says there will be coffee and breakfast sandwiches available for early risers and live music from Bob Cushing before the run. Scherz said motorcycle officers from Hamilton County, Colerain Township and Mount Healthy help plan the event. The party will also

include food, beer, door prizes and entertainment. Evening entertainment is from Leadfoot, Dangerous Jim and the Slims and Euphoria. The cost is $15 for one rider and $5 for a passenger. If you just want to party, admission is $5. Scherz says the event is rain or shine. If it rains, the party moves indoors, he said.

Springfield Twp. plans public hearing on boilers By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

CE-0000414516

While they haven’t had many complaints, Springfield Township trustees are considering whether to ban or regulate wood boilers on private property. Trustee Joe Honerlaw said the boilers are being used outdoors mainly to

heat swimming pools. “It’s essentially a device like an outside wood burning stove,” Honerlaw said. He said trustees are concerned about potential health risks from the smoke.

Trustees will hear from residents at a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 18, in township offices, 9150 Winton Road. “This hearing is intended to listen to both sides of the debate, prior to a consideration of placing any restrictions or bans on these systems,” Honerlaw said.

The list of candidates for Mount Healthy superintendent has been cut to four following the first round of interviews. The Ohio School Board Association is consulting with the Mount Healthy City School District as it searches for a superintendent to lead the district when current superintendent David Horine retires at the end of January. The district started with 25 applicants and narrowed the field to eight.

Following the first round, the board cut the list of contenders to four. Board member Steve Harness said the OSBA has been a great help, and the field of candidates is very good. “We have had excellent people and I have been very impressed with the quality of the people we have interviewed,” he said. “OSBA is doing a great job.” Still under consideration for the post are: • Yvonne Bullock, superintendent of Meridian Community Unit District 101 in

LaRosa’s pizza story moves to stage Gannett News Service Up, up and away went the spinning disc of pizza dough. Wider and wider it spread as it spun. Returning to earth, the dough landed in the cshaped cupped hands of Buddy LaRosa. With a slight twist of his torso, a quick turn of his arms and some Italiano flair, the dough flew again. “That’s about the size of a large pizza,” Cincinnati’s primo pizza purveyor said Thursday night as he spread the dough on a prep table. “Here!” he called to Jared Moore of White Oak. “You try it! Piece of cake!” He tossed the dough to the unsuspecting 26-year-

old song and dance man. Moore plays the title role in the musical, “Everybody’s Buddy.” The show honors the life of the soon to be 80-year-old pizza baron, philanthropist and celebrated soft touch. “I went to the hospital today,” La Rosa said between tosses. “Four people gave me their business cards and asked for my help.” He plans to lend each one a hand. “Everybody’s Buddy” revolves around two kinds of dough. There’s the stuff made from flour. Then, there’s the dough from a success story of a kid who grew up “in a broken home filled with love” and grew the West Side pizzeria he opened in 1954 into a chain

grossing about $132 million in 2009 and garnering well over half the pizza business in Cincinnati. The musical’s premiere runs Aug. 11-14 at the College of Mount St. Joseph Theater. That’s where Thursday’s dough tossing lesson took place. It follows LaRosa’s life from before his birth to his childhood growing up in Cincinnati’s Little Italy, through the opening of his first pizzeria on the west side in 1954. It culminates in a 1973 scene where an entire community of student athletes and coaches help LaRosa rebuild his flagship Boudinot Avenue pizzeria after a potentially devastating fire. “My father loves Cincin-

nati,” says Mike LaRosa, CEO of LaRosa’s and Buddy’s son. “’Everybody’s Buddy’ is as much about the people in the community who raised and supported him as it is about Buddy. So, in many ways, this tells a Cincinnati story, too. So, we are ecstatic that we can celebrate his 80th birthday with those who have meant so much to Buddy and our family.” Buddy LaRosa celebrates his 80th birthday on August 25th. Each night, he’ll join the cast onstage for a “Happy Birthday” finale number. Proceeds from the event will benefit Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The idea for the musical started over a decade ago

Buddy La Rosa watches actor Jared Moore learn to toss a pizza. Moore will portray Buddy La Rosa in “Everybody's Buddy.” when Buddy LaRosa’s cousin and business associate, Harry Panaro, brought the idea to Dick Ruehrwein, after enjoying another one of Ruehrwein’s musical productions. Ruehrwein, who has written 15 plays, all of which have been produced, met again with LaRosa and Panaro nearly two years ago to talk seriously about moving forward with the musical. “From the beginning, it

was important to me that the proceeds be donated to Cincinnati’s Children’s Hospital,” said Buddy LaRosa who credits Children’s Hospital with saving the life of his daughter, Denise. “The production of the musical was about doing something that would inspire and engage the local community. It is a celebration of the community that has guided and supported me throughout my life.”

About ‘Everybody’s Buddy’ “Everybody’s Buddy” will run from Aug. 11-14, 2010 at the College of Mount Saint Joseph campus theater at 8 p.m. each day. The musical production will feature an original score with songs written by “Everybody’s Buddy” creator, Dick Ruehrwein, local songwriter Ed Howard, and Andrew and Andrea Raynor, songwriters from New York City. A 16-piece orchestra comprised of students from University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music will provide the orchestration for numbers.

Springfield hires firm to help with neighborhood plan By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

Springfield Township trustees continue to work toward developing a neighborhood master plan, hiring a consulting company to help in the process. Consultants Kinzelman Kline Gossman, with an office in Covington, will be paid $60,000 to complete a marketing and land use analysis of the 12 neighborhoods that are the focus of the master plan.

Those specific districts are: • north and south sections of the Finneytown Local School District, • southwest Gilbert and northeast sections of Hamilton Avenue, • Hollydale, • Lexington Heights, • Pleasant Run Farms, • Sevenhills, • Valleydale,

• West College Hill, and • northeast and northwest sections of Winton Road. Township Assistant Administrator Chris Gilbert said consultants will bring recommendations to the township which will be reviewed by the master plan steering committee before going to trustees for adoption. There are representatives from each of the 12 neighborhoods on that steering committee. The group meets once a month to discuss a variety of topics. Gilbert said the July meeting

addressed the police department and crime in the township and the specific neighborhoods. “I think there may be a perception of crime that isn’t backed up by crime statistics that show crime has been declining,” Gilbert said. Each of the monthly steering committee meetings begins with a presentation by the township, giving members a crash course on that topic. “After that,” Gilbert said, “committee members break into

small groups to talk about how that specific topic, like crime, affects their neighbors and specific community.” Trustee Joe Honerlaw said the consulting firm will help bring specific recommendations on land use and redevelopment to the trustee board for consideration. Gilbert said there will be no zoning changes involved in the master plan. The completed master plan is due to be finished and presented by January, Honerlaw said.

Mount Healthy funeral home gets new director By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

Stuart Snow’s career ambitions startled even his own family. “I knew when I was 12 I wanted to be in the funeral business,” Snow, now 44, said. “My family thought I’d lost my mind.” He put that dream aside, instead pursuing degrees in theology and counseling. After serving as a minister for 20 years at congregations in Ohio, West Virginia and South Carolina, Snow finally reawakened his dream. “It was my wife who urged me to go back to school and become a funeral director. “Now, here I am,” Snow said, sitting behind his desk

in his new Mount Healthy office. Snow became the managing partner three months ago at what will be renamed Neidhard Snow Funeral Home. Managing what is thought to be the oldest funeral home business in the state, Snow said he’s more than thrilled to be closer to family doing what he’s always wanted to do. Even though it’s a 45minute commute from his home in Fairborn, Snow said his new job brings him closer to where he grew up in Kenwood and much of his family still in the immediate area. “I always knew about Mount Healthy, but I had to do some research on the funeral home itself and it’s

Along with his pastoral experience, Snow also brings to the job his counseling background and his passion for music, especially Elvis. “I have been an Elvis impersonator, mainly because I admire his music and his voice,” Snow said. “I was able to serve a family recently singing a popular Elvis hymn at their request.” Since taking the job, Snow said he’s been getting

acquainted with the area, joining both the Mount Healthy and Colerain Township business associations, and the Kiwanis. Snow isn’t the only new face at Neidhard’s. Allyson Gray-Stacey, a Springfield Township resident, is the new office coordinator, for the nine-member staff. “I’m finally able to do what I’ve always wanted to do,” Snow said. “Not many people get a second chance at their life’s dream.”

mation on their organization with any interested athome moms in the Colerain area. The Open House will feature a magic show by The Amazing Mr. Magic, Ron Frank.

Health fair gets students, families ready for school

The Northwest Local School District is lending a hand to students and families preparing to go back to school. The HANDS (Health Assistance for Northwest District Schools) Health Center presents its 14th annual Health and Safety Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 12, at Northwest High School, 10761 Pippin Road. The fair, open to youngsters who live in the Northwest district, features lots of free services for elementary age district residents, including physical exams, dental and vision exams and immunizations needed for the start of school. The Hamilton County Public Health Department will be administering immunizations between 9 a.m. and noon. Seventh-graders who need the new immunizations required by a change in state law can come to the high school from

More information The Health Assistance for Northwest District Schools Health Center began when the Northwest Local School District received a School-Based Health Center Planning Grant from the Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati in spring 2000 that enabled the district to look into the health concerns of its students. After talking with many families and discovering their needs, the planning team applied for and was awarded a grant from the Health Foundation to start a school based health center at Taylor Elementary, 3135 Springdale Road. 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. The Health Assistance for Northwest District Schools Center will set appointments for physicals and health screenings. Parents should call the center at 825-2532 to set up a time.

A school bus will run between the high school and Taylor Elementary School, 3173 Springdale Road, every 30 minutes from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. during the fair. This gives parents a chance to go along on that first bus ride, which some children may find intimidating, according to Pauletta Crowley, administrative assistant for community and administrative services for the district. There will be about 50 local health, safety and community agencies at the fair and there will be interactive educational activities available. Last year, about 1,300 residents visited the fair. Families can get safety information from the police, sheriff and fire departments, get a free backto-school haircut courtesy of local hair stylists and pick up free school supplies. School starts Tuesday, Aug. 24, in the Northwest school district.

Doctoral students earning degrees in engineering and medicine taught lessons to eighth-graders in their areas of research as it pertained to magnesium – which is currently being studied as a replacement for certain body parts, such as knees and shoulders. “A facet of this grant is pre-college education and community outreach,” said John Vennemeyer, who is pursing a doctorate in biomedical engineering. “Mount Healthy is the first school in Cincinnati that we have given lectures and we hope to continue working with them.” Vennemeyer, along with fellow students Xuefei Guo and Julia Kuhlmann, who are both doctoral students chemistry, Mitesh Oswal, who is working on a master’s in mechanical engineering, and Dingchuan Xue, who is pursing a doctorate in chemical and materials engineering, presented various lessons, video and lectures to four classes.

Russo’s runners eye state run

By Tony Meale

tmeale@communitypress.com

The time is now for the La Salle High School cross country team. The Lancers return five of their top seven runners from a team that has advanced to state each of the last two years. They’ll be led by senior Travis Hawes. “He’s got the ability,” Lancer head coach Frank Russo said, “to be a top-five state finalist and could finish as high as second to (Mason senior) Zach Wills.” Hawes finished 12th at the state championships as a freshman and was GCL-South

Runner of the Year as a sophomore. Last season, however, he struggled through injury and illness – and he wasn’t alone. Senior Ethan Bokeno, among others, also missed significant time. “It’s no secret,” Russo said. “The last two years, (the problem) hasn’t been our talent. It’s been our ability to stay healthy.” If the Lancers can avoid injury, Russo said his team has a legitimate shot at a state championship. Along with Hawes, a five-time state-qualifier, and Bokeno, a four time-state qualifier, La Salle returns seniors Kevin Kluesener and Matt Nie, as well as sophomore Jacob McNamara. Juniors Clayton Cardinal, Drew Michel and Marc Nie also figure to be in the mix. “We’ve got great talent in front and great depth in back,” Russo said. “We’re hoping to get some young guys contributing.” La Salle has been

From 2000 to 2006, the Lancers won two state titles and had four state runner-up finishes. In 2007, the Lancers failed to qualify for state for the first time since 1998. La Salle returned to Scioto Downs each of the last two years but placed 15th and 16th, respectively; prior to

2008, Russo, who took over in 1983, hadn’t had a state team finish lower than 10th. “We’re trying to work on the intensity and quality of our work ethic,” Russo said. “We’re trying to get the guys to understand what it takes.” Russo, who has been pleased with his team’s summer workouts thus far, has motivated his runners by recounting tales of former Lancers who won state

titles and earned All-America status. “What separated those guys was their work ethic and their intensity,” Russo said. La Salle opens the season with the FinishTiming Invitational at Wilmington College Aug. 28. Other key meets include the Midwest Catholic Championship at Indian Riffle Park in Kettering Sept. 25 and the Midwest Meet of Champions at

Other runners to look out for...

Several other local runners return to action this fall: • Colerain will be led by senior Craig Sulken and junior Erik Tomczewski; the girls’ team will be led by seniors Allison Steinbeck, Sam Work, Marisel Lopez and Stacey Sulken • McAuley will be led by seniors Mallory Waters, Jennifer Beck and Colleen Flynn, junior Sarah Pierce and sophomore Brenna Silber • Northwest will be led by junior Jack Giblin; the girls’ team will be led by senior Megan Reed and junior Ashleigh Hobson, • Roger Bacon will be led by senior Matt Mondillo and juniors Alex Mathis, Tommy Foertmeyer and Nick Hoffman; the girls’ team will be led by seniors Emily Richmond, Kelsey Bickel and Allison Lawlor, as well as junior Cassie Lipp • St. Xavier, which finished second at state last year, will be led by seniors Jack Butler and Greg Sanders Hilliard Darby Oct. 2. The GCL Meet will be held at Rapid Run Park Oct. 16. La Salle has won league three of the last five years, most recently in 2008. “We’ve got a nice core group that has talent and a lot of varsity experience,” Russo said. “We’ll get our confidence from how well we prepare on a day-to-day basis.”

St. Xavier High School seniors Smith Brinker, left, and George Rohde headline a Bomber golf team that won state in 2008 and finished runner-up in 2009.

After winning a state title in 2008 and finishing as state runner-up in 2009, the St. Xavier High School golf team will be without Brian Shircliff, a 1992 Bomber graduate who had coached the team since 1998. The program, however, is in safe hands. Alex Kepley, who served as Shircliff’s assistant the last six years, will assume the head coaching position. “Brian developed an incredible program,” said Kepley, who graduated from St. X in 1985. “I’m very excited and blessed to have this opportunity. Leading the team this

year are a pair of first-team all-league performers, seniors-to-be Smith Brinker and George Rohde. “They’ve had a very extensive summer tournament schedule and have had great success in the past,” Kepley said. “As seniors, they bring the experience of playing at the state championships. I look for them to be our anchors.” Other contributors will include seniors-to-be Brady Carlson, Nick Stenger and CJ Howitt, as well as juniors-to-be Jay Brockhoff, Nick Colvin, Alex Hannan, Lee House, Jack Mitchell and Jake Clements. Joey Arcuri, meanwhile, may be the top sophomore. “We’re lucky to have so many athletes at St. X who

play golf,” Kepley said. “We’ve got a lot of guys with good potential.” Despite their dominance over the last two years, the Bombers haven’t won a league title since 2007, when they captured their fourth consecutive conference crown. Last season, St. X finished second in the state but third in the GCL-South. Kepley anticipates another tough season - not just in the league, but in the city as well. “Moeller, Elder, La Salle, Lakota East, Lakota West and I’m probably forgetting

some teams - have incredible players,” he said. Kepley added that his coaching philosophy is similar to that of his predecessor. “Like Brian, my emphasis is on the short game,” he said. “All the guys hit the ball a mile, and that’s great; but if you can’t put the ball in the hole, it doesn’t matter how far you hit it.” Kepley hopes for a return to the state championships but said the success of this season does not hinge on that. “You can’t control how other teams play,” he said. “If we do everything that we can to prepare and be effective and efficient so we minimize our mental mistakes, that’s all I can ask of these young men.”

Knights to contend; Lady Knights to rebuild By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

The Northwest High School golf teams will be on divergent paths this season. The Lady Knights, which went 7-12 last year, graduated five seniors, including Heather McKee, a four-time all-league performer. Other departed grads are Stephanie Fisher, Nickie Gustafson, Samantha Baldrick and Cassie Norton. “Heather set the tone for those four years,” Lady Knights’ head coach Bob Goodridge said.

McAuley runner’s season memorable

PROVIDED

McAuley High School junior runner Danielle Pfeifer shows off her thirdplace medal at state.

McAuley High School junior Danielle Pfeifer placed third in the 800-meter run at the state meet June 5 at Jesse Owens Stadium at The Ohio State University with a personal best time of 2:11.07. This record also broke the McAuley record for the 800, which had been previously set by Pfeifer herself. Pfeifer is also the leading runner on McAuley’s cross country team, and accrued other honors this spring including All-Ohio Runner, First Team Enquirer All-Star, GGCL Runner of the Year, and First Team GGCL.

In addition to running track and cross country for McAuley, she baby-sits part-time, is a member of McAuley’s Women in Medicine Program, is a class senator on Student Council, and is active in Key Club and Ambassadors Club. She is the daughter of Tim and Julie Pfeifer of Monfort Heights. Pfeifer’s track distance coach, Ron Russo, also McAuley’s cross country coach, was inducted into the LaRosa’s Hall of Fame June 27. Russo is beginning his second year as head coach at McAuley and 23rd year of coaching cross country.

He invited to the induction, which was at CET and broadcast live, Danielle and fellow cross country captain Mallory Waters, who played key roles in last year’s team advancing to the regional finals. Russo, who formerly coached at Colerain High School, is enjoying his coaching experience at McAuley. “We certainly believe that we are beginning to see collective performances that we feel will elevate the program to one of the best in the state... and, we expect to make that a year-in-and-year-out goal,” he said.

“Last year, we were ranked 17th at the end regular season in the state coaches poll,” said Russo. “So, we began to catch a lot of people’s attention throughout the season. We expect to continue to build this program into something very special that McAuley can be very proud of.” Russo’s brother, Frank Russo, who is in his 27th year of coaching cross country for LaSalle High School, was also inducted into the LaRosa’s Hall of Fame. They are the first cross country coaches to ever receive this distinction.

REAL ESTATE THIS WEEK By Mark Schupp

MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW OWNERS When it comes time to sell your house, it’s often hard to say goodbye to your old home that is filled with so many happy memories. But in order to attract a new buyer, you will need to emotionally let go of your old nest and make room for someone new to live there. To make the transition, start by packing up all your personal mementos: family photos, team trophies and kid’s artwork. Store extra toys, worn furniture, out of season clothing, and anything not essential for daily living. Refresh your walls with a new neutral color and, if necessary, move the furniture around to create a fresh inviting environment. Put out a brand new welcome mat and have a candy dish and fresh flowers on a table inside the front door. Now you are ready to present your residence as a model home - beautiful, but most importantly --- impersonal. This will make it easier for prospective buyers to imagine themselves settling into their new home, placing their furniture and making it their own Think of yourselves as temporary caretakers who can’t wait to hand over the keys to the new owner. Mark Schupp has been a Real Estate Agent for the past 28 years and is a Certified Residential Specialist. He has won many awards including the Top Unit Producer for 1999 and 2000 (last year awarded) in the Cincinnati Board of Realtors and Top 1% Residential Real Estate Agent in the Nation.

They defeated more than 100 golfers at the Ohio Junior Qualifier in the 15 to 17 year old age bracket to secure a spot in the 2010 International Tournament. Rooney shot even par to lead all scoring. Rohde, Day and Wolters scored one over par. In addition, Rohde, a member of the St. Xavier High School golf team and an incoming senior, was one of 153 amateur golfers nationally to qualify for the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. In the 36-hole, June 21 qualifier event at Moundbuilders Country Club in Newark, Ohio, he shot four over par. The U.S. Junior Amateur Championship will be held from July 19 through July 24 at Egypt Valley Country Club near Grand Rapids, Mich.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Note of thanks

We recently had to deal with the passing of my father, and received support and help from family, friends and various professionals involved in that process. I wanted to mention and thank a couple of groups that were a big help. I needed to arrange a family luncheon to follow the funeral, and had only 48 hours to make it happen. I called the Mill Race Banquet Center (Winton Woods). Karie Wyatt met with us 15 minutes later and explained how they could accommodate us. From that point, Karie took care of everything, the room, food and privacy for the family. The luncheon went perfectly, and at a very reasonable price. The other group is Hospice of Cincinnati, truly angels on earth. They only worked with my family for a couple of weeks, but they did anything they possibly could to support us, and kept my Dad as comfortable as possible. I have spoken with others who have also used hospice, and everyone raves about the goodness of these people. This has to be one of the most difficult jobs you could do and they handle it with respect, professionalism and a genuine desire to help people through a difficult time. Thank you and God bless you all. Rick Morris Lakevalley Drive Colerain Township

Bad math

Is it OK that the township loses two hundred thousand dollars a year on the boondoggle Nathanael Greene Lodge? Apparently so, after all, Trustee Tracy Winkler’s daughter runs the lodge. When questions are asked, Judge Winkler, Tracy’s husband, steps in. Now we have a member of the VFW, whose organization meets at the lodge at a discount, telling us that it’s OK the Township looses money. The problem is the VFW member forgot to disclose that his daughter works at the Lodge. With Trustee (Tony) Upton’s son working for the township in the Public Services department whose boss is directly responsible for the lodge’s losses, whose sonin-law also works for the township, conveys a policy of friends and family need only apply. If you don’t believe it, ask the head of

the republican party, Alex Triantafilou, he got his wife a job with the township. Add the Nathanael Greene Lodge losses to the $2.7 million to Legacy Place white elephant and pretty soon we are talking real money. These losses also fall squarely on administrators shoulders who was recently rated, by trustees Upton and Winkler, as having very good financial management abilities. Apparently the administrator gets high marks for loosing money. I guess two plus two does equal five. Gary Dressler Sidney Road

RTL responds to Driehaus

Congressman Driehaus claims that Obama’s executive order prohibits tax-funded abortion in the federal health care bill. This is based on the Department of Health and Human Services’ statement after abortion funding was discovered in pre-existing condition insurance plans in Pennsylvania, New Mexico and Maryland. The Congressional Research Office has issued a report confirming that limits on taxpayer funding of abortions “would not appear to apply specifically to the funds made available for high-risk pools” and that the executive order “does not specifically address high-risk pools and the funds provided” in this bill. The health care bill also includes the Mikulski amendment that defines abortion as preventative care, further ensuring that insurance plans in the federal exchange will pay for them. It pays for abortions under the Indian Health Service program. The bill legislates $7 billion for the 1,250 federally funded Community Health Centers, not covered by Hyde Amendment abortion funding restrictions. Though some claim CHCs don’t offer abortion services, the Reproductive Health Access Project website gives how-to instructions. Finally, the bill has no conscience protections for health care workers and facilities that do not want to participate in abortions or other immoral practices – a fundamental human right.

Several states attempted to establish insurance plans that would use federal tax dollars to pay for abortions using a section of the legislation that the non-partisan Congressional Research Service stated the executive order “does not specifically address.” As a result, abortions could be funded with tax dollars through such plans despite the executive order. It was only after pro-life advocates raised concerns that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) applied abortion restrictions to such plans. Unbelievably, when faced with direct evidence that the executive order wouldn’t block federal funding for abortions in this instance, Steve Driehaus argued the exact opposite in his column last weekthat the executive order is working. If Driehaus’ assertions were accurate, and President Obama’s executive order contained an

effective prohibition on taxpayerfunded abortions, there would be no need for HHS to take separate action in order to prevent abortions being funded with tax dollars under these insurance plans. Moreover, had Steve Driehaus and Bart Stupak kept their promise not to vote for health care reform if it provided tax dollars for abortions, there would be no need for this discussion at all. Unfortunately, that didn’t occur. As a result, we are faced with health care reform that lacks an effective prohibition on taxpayer-funded abortion. And no amount of rhetoric or glossy taxpayer-funded brochures from Steve Driehaus can change that fact. Also, it’s important to remember the other shortcomings in the Democrat’s massive power-grab in health care reform. It hurt seniors by cutting Medicare by more than $500 billion, it created $569 bil-

We deserve better. Steve Chabot, a Republican, is a candidate for U. S. Representative for the 1st District.

Executive order on abortion is working Only a few months since the president signed the new health reform law, it is already clear that our work to prevent the use of taxpayer dollars for abortion is paying off. Before the House of Representatives cast its final vote for health care reform, I worked with other pro-life Democrats to secure a commitment from the president to sign an executive order clarifying and enforcing long-standing law banning the use of federal funds for abortion services. Even though executive orders carry the full force of law, opponents of reform who wanted to see the law fail have used the issue of abortion to launch political attacks, claiming that the executive order wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. Now that the executive order has been put to its first test, however, it’s clear that it is working precisely as promised. Earlier this month, concerns arose that staterun high-risk insurance pools in Pennsylvania and New Mexico could possibly cover elective abortion services. In response to these concerns, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

(HHS) issued this clear and unequivocal statement: “As is the case with (Federal Employee Health Benefit) plans currently, Steve and with the Driehaus Affordable Care Act and the Community president’s relatPress guest ed Executive columnist Order more generally, in Pennsylvania and in all other states abortions will not be covered in the Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) except in the cases of rape or incest, or where the life of the woman would be endangered.” While some pro-life groups distorted the situation in order to mislead the public, the facts simply aren’t on their side. According to the Associated Press, opponents of abortion have “scored a victory,” and the Catholic bishops welcomed the HHS announcement. On the other hand, NARAL ProChoice America, a leading advo-

cate for access to abortion services, called the decision “wrongheaded.” I made a commitment to ensure that no federal tax dollars would be used for abortion. That’s why I fought so hard for an executive order that is consistent with prolife values. There were doubts whether the executive order was strong enough to restrict that funding. With this application of the executive order, those doubts can be put to rest. The reform that I supported protects the unborn, and will support and foster the health and security of millions of others. That is a true success for a pro-life agenda that promotes life from conception until natural death. As more and more states implement high-risk pools, and as other provisions of the Affordable Care Act are implemented, the recent decision by HHS sets an important precedent and inspires confidence that health care reform protects the sanctity of life at all stages.

Driehaus has betrayed pro-life values Over the last week, Steve Driehaus used thousands of our tax dollars to send out glossy brochures and authored a guest column in this newspaper in a desperate attempt to convince us that he has not betrayed his prolife values. But actions speak louder than words. Driehaus supported Barack Obama, who’s virtually only appointed pro-choice judges. The very first vote Driehaus cast in Congress was to make Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House – she has a 0 percent voting record with National Right to Life and 100 percent voting record with Planned Parenthood and NARAL. And the most troubling fact is that National Right to Life only scores Driehaus as voting for pro-life issues a shocking 33 percent of the time. Perhaps the biggest betrayal to the pro-life community was when

called the Cheviot Maintenance Department. My first summer I worked at the old Cheviot incinerator on South Ropad (pre EPA days). “The garbage trucks would pull in, and I’d help rake the garbage into the incinerator. I couldn’t believe some of the useable items people threw away. Now, they’d probaby go to a charity. Several items made it to my dorm room. The second summer I drove around in a small dump truck picking up yard waste, old water heaters, etc. “It was hard work, but it gave me a good work ethic, a good paycheck for a college kid, and I got to work with a great group of guys.” S.R.S “Working at Kings Island after graduating from high school carpooling with my friends, even though we didn’t work in the same areas. It was fun because work didn’t seem like work, and knowing that it was just a ‘summer job’ before starting college.” S.B.T.

Here are ten rules for being human Father Lou is off this week. The Community Press is running a column that was orginally published Jan. 3, 2007.

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or dislike it, but it’s yours for life. Make friends with it, respect it, and listen to it. Your body always tells you many truths about yourself. 2. There are no mistakes, only lessons. You are made to grow, and growth is a process of trial and error, learning, and moving on. The pains of past failures are even more a teacher than the joys of gains and successes. Live and learn! 3. A lesson will be repeated until it is learned. Realize that

you cannot keep performing the same behavior and expect different results. Who, or whatever, hurts you and goes against your true growth, let go of and move on. Wise up! 4. The most important things in life are loving relationships. Your Creator’s initial advice was, “It is not good to be alone.” That was not advice against enjoying solitude but a warning about being unconnected and emotionally alone. Being in orbit around your own ego makes a mighty small world and a selfish person. Care about others! Learn to love! 5. Other people can serve as mirrors. The significant traits you like or despise about another per-

son frequently reflect something unconscious you like or despise about yourself - but which you find it hard to admit. Know thyself! 6. Whether it’s a place or a time of life, “there” is not always better than “here.” Too often the best seems to be happening “there.” But if you get “there” it then becomes a “here” and you will likely yearn for another “there” that seems better than “here.” Don’t always be living looking at a “there.” Always appreciate the “here,” the “now!” 7. Every human person has many aspects: body, soul, mind and heart. Leaving any part of yourself undeveloped produces a lop-sided and unfulfilled

person. To the extent that you develop all the parts of your humanness makes your life either a work of art or a blurred picture. Become more whole! 8. The most wonderful part of you lies deep within. It’s called “soul,” or “core,” or “true self.” It starts talking to you the loudest in the second half of your life. If you listen, it will impart wisdom, truths, and exquisite understanding you’ve never had before. If you don’t listen, you’ll miss the meaning of your life. Don’t be afraid to reflect! To listen! 9. You create your own climate. That’s because of the power of the thoughts you entertain, the attitudes you keep, the choices you make. Gripe and think nega-

tively and your life will always Father Lou be overcast and Guntzelman dark. Appreciate, and you’ll Perspectives start noticing the many good things you have. You get the emotional climate you develop. Why rain on yourself? 10. There are many “important” things in this life, and there are a few things that are really “essential.” Never, never exchange the essential for the important. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Contact him at columns@ communitypress.com or P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

Be careful before purchasing appliance warranty I’m seeing more and more companies these days offering warranties that claim to cover all your home appliances. But, is it a good idea to sign up, or are you better off saving your money and just paying for repairs as needed? It’s not unusual to find a whole house appliance warranty offered by the seller when you looking to buy an existing house. Now some national firms, and even some local appliance repair shops, have begun offering this to all. Sherri Burton of Amelia received an ad from a national company for such a warranty for about $40 a

m o n t h and said it looked like a great deal. “ I f something w e n t w r o n g Howard Ain you were Hey Howard! to contact them and you got a claim number. I guess they subcontract. They would come out here. I would pay a $75 deductible,” said Burton. Soon after signing up she encountered a problem with her stove and called, but was very surprised at the response she received. “Bottom line, they didn’t

want to fix it. They just wanted to replace a knob and then, if something else went wrong, they’d have to come back here and fix it,” she said. Burton had to pay the $75 deductible but says she just went out and bought a new stove. Next, Burton’s furnace started making a lot of noise so she again called the warranty company. A repairman came out but, “He said as long as the furnace was running he can’t do anything. It has to not be running,” she said. The furnace then started overheating so she called again. “He turned the furnace

on and said, ‘As long as the furnace is running there’s nothing I can do.’ I said, ‘Would you like a Coke because after it kicks on the second or third time it’s going to overheat?’ Well, it did,” said Burton. Burton was then told the repairman couldn’t fix the furnace because he couldn’t get parts since it was too old. But now, in the warm summer weather, the air conditioner is also overheating so she can’t get her house cool. “I thought it was going to be a great company for $40 a month, $75 deductible,” said Burton. “It’s about saving me money, but appar-

ently it’s about making them money.” The company wouldn’t respond to my phone calls so I had Burton file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. The company has responded to complaints filed with the bureau. After Burton filed her complaint, the warranty company sent out another repairman to check the furnace. He found the problem was with the blower motor and it had to be replaced. Burton had to pay $500, but the new motor solved the problem. Now Burton is trying to get back that $500 from the warranty compa-

ny. The Better Business Bureau says it’s received about 700 complaints about this company from people who say the firm would not pay for needed repairs. In response, the company says consumers need to read the contract thoroughly and fully understand exactly what’s included and what’s excluded. Bottom line, you need to be very careful before agreeing to any of these warranties. Howard Ain answers consumer complaints weekdays on WKRC-TV Local 12.

Rub shoulders with old-fashioned pork barbeque Rita’s do-ahead marinated slaw

Our little flock of chickens has one less member today. And it’s my fault. L a s t Rita night, I Heikenfeld forgot to Rita’s kitchen lock the chickens in their pen. This morning, when I went out to feed them, I saw a trail of white feathers leading down to the river bank. Not a good sign – I immediately thought “raccoons.” And that’s how our only white feathered hen, “Whitey,” as the kids called her, met her untimely demise. So you can understand when I say I just don’t feel like sharing any recipes today for, you guessed it: chicken.

Easy pork shoulder for barbeque

There’s an old-fashioned type of meat that folks are starting to rediscover. It’s fresh pork shoulder (and when it’s smoked it’s sometimes called cottage ham or smoked pork butt). I use it to make goetta since it has a nice layer of fat which keeps the goetta moist. (See sidebar on Glier’s Goettafest.) I also use it to make barbeque. It’s so delicious that I’ll save some of the roasted pork to serve for supper before I make the barbecue,

CE-0000401453

This is delicious with the barbecue, and a bit different than the norm.

Salad:

Combine and set aside while making dressing: 6-8 cups shredded cabbage or cole slaw mix 2 carrots, sliced thin or shredded 1 bell pepper, chopped 1 cup onion, chopped

Dressing:

Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or so, until slightly thickened: 1 cup sugar 1 cup cider vinegar 1 ⁄2 cup water 2 teaspoons mustard seed (optional but good) or 1 ⁄2 teaspoon celery seed (also optional)

Rita picking berries at her elderberry bush. and serve it with boiled noodles. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Score the fat on top of a boneless pork shoulder, about 5 to 7 pounds. Season with salt and pepper and place, fat side up, in a Dutch oven or roasting pan with about a cup of water. Roast until some of the fat has melted, about an hour. Remove pan and reduce temperature to 350 degrees.

COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD

Tightly cover pan with foil or a lid. Cook about three to four hours more, or until meat is tender enough to shred with forks. When cool enough to handle, remove fat if you want and shred meat into bite size pieces. This freezes well. To serve, stir in favorite barbecue sauce to taste, and heat until hot throughout.

Pour dressing over cabbage mixture. Cover and refrigerate four hours or overnight. Stir before serving.

Tips from Rita’s garden

Harvesting basil: Be sure and snip the flower heads that are forming on basil. Otherwise, energy will go into the flowers and seeds, and leaf production will suffer. The flowers of all culinary herbs are edible. (I do let one plant go to seed for next year’s crop). Roasted whole plum tomatoes: These make a

delicious sauce for pasta. You can also freeze them up to six months. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss tomatoes with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay in single layer on rimmed baking sheets. If you have some fresh thyme, tuck several sprigs in between the tomatoes. Bake until they burst, about 45 to 60 minutes, rotating pans halfway through. Let cool, then coarsely chop.

She said the salsa looked pretty simple with roasted corn, tomatoes, garlic salt. “So good.” And about Bravo!’s focaccia, Jane said they changed their recipe and it’s not nearly as good as the original, which she thinks may have had mashed potatoes in it.

They collected crayons, coloring books, toothbrushes, toothpaste, beanie babies, and baseball cards to give to the children staying at Bethany House. At the end of the project, both girls planned and implemented a “Where the Wild Things Are” party for all of the residents. Arnold hopes to help more people in need by organizing other similar projects in the future. Riccardi learned that she can accomplish large goals by breaking them down into

manageable parts. She also realized that small things, like knitting hats, can bring big smiles to those who need it. Arnold is a junior at McAuley High School. Involved in Girl Scouting for 11 years, she has earned the Girl Scout Bronze and Silver Awards. She has also been a program aide at camp and has held the office of patrol leader.

Julie Arnold and Kathleen Riccardi received the esteemed Girl Scout Gold Award from Girl Scouts of Western Ohio this past May. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award that Girls Scout ages 14 to 18 may earn. The steps for this award are chosen to help the Girl Scout develop skills, practice leadership, explore career possibilities, and learn more about herself. The final step in earning this award is the Gold Award Project. To achieve the Gold Award, candidates are required to complete 30 hours in a community leadership role, 40 hours of job shadowing and career exploration, and 65 hours in developing and leading the Gold Award project. A criterion for the project includes community involvement outside of the Girl Scout structure, being innovative, and project sustainability. For their project, Arnold and Riccardi provided items for Bethany House, a homeless shelter for women and children. From doing a previous service project, Arnold knew that the shelter was always in need of winter clothing and children's toys. She organized a garage sale to earn money to purchase supplies and Riccardi led a large book drive and purchased gently used books to give to Bethany House.

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? If you said yes to any of these questions, don’t hesitate to call the dental office of Dr. Christopher Omeltschenko to discuss the Mini Dental Implant System, or MDI, which can stabilize your own denture in less than two hours.

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.

“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.
