BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Sharonville resident thanked for service to city
Haimerl gave time to many city projects By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Sharonville has thanked a resident for her volunteer service to the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals with a proclamation that declared Dec. 12 as her special day. The proclamation, presented by Mayor Virgil Lovitt to
Mary Haimerl, was presented during her final meeting as a member of the board. It noted her work with the Neighborhood Watch program, as well as her service to the community as a member of the Sharonville Republican Club and Board of Zoning Appeals. “Mary has been very involved with the Hamilton County REACT CB radio club, as well as spending may hears in Safety Town at the Tri-Coun-
ty Mall, helping to educate children on the importance of safety,” the proclamation read. “Mary is one of the most reliable employees at the Sharonville McDonald’s on Hauck Road, and was recognized as the Crew Person of the year in 2006 as outstanding employee for the entire Ohio region. “Mary is a dependable, hard working and loyal employee that we are proud to have on our team,” owner Pam Ison
said. “Mary is an opener that shows up when she is scheduled, no matter the weather. “She always has a smile and a ‘see you tomorrow’ for the breakfast guests at the Hauck Road Drive Thru.” For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/Sharonville.

Elvis on his way to Princeton Annual concert set for Saturday
By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Princeton will pay tribute to the king with its fifth annual Memories of Elvis concert. The performance begins at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12, in Matthews Auditorium at Princeton High School. It features a live band, nine backup singers and a full orchestra. “The energy level is super high,” said Matthews Auditorium Manager Don Freeman, who also performs as Elvis in the concert. “I really don’t know how Elvis did it all those years. “To stay in Elvis’ character, I study many hours of videos of Elvis concerts in the 1970s, to get his reaction to certain things, or things he would say or joke about.” The cast will include about 20 Princeton High School music students, four music alumni, six Princeton crew students, three production alumni, and eight adult professional performers. “Our goal for this show is very high,” Freeman said. “We want people to feel the experience of going to see Elvis live.” The tickets look like those at Elvis concerts in the mid-1970s. The stage is set up as Elvis did. The scale of the cast and set is the same. The opening acts will play the same set list that Elvis’s openers did. Even the announcements inside are actual announcements that were made at his shows in each arena,” Freeman said. The concert will include two displays. One, in the main lobby, will be set up as a concession booth, “just like in the arenas he played with real authentic merchandise that was sold at his shows,” Freeman said.

It will include tour book programs, poster, card-stock picture, buttons and a lady’s necklace. “The other display is a short film that we have created that shows his tour schedule from 1970 to 1977,” Freeman said. “Every date, city and some pictures of those arenas are included.” Everyone who attends the performance will have a chance to win an authentic1974-1975 Elvis tour book program. Proceeds from the concert and merchandise sold during the event will go to the Music Boosters and the scholarship fund. Tickets cost $8 for adults and $6 for seniors and students. They can be purchased online, at www.matthewsauditorium.com. They can also be pre-ordered and paid for at the door on the night of the show. To pre-order, contact Don Freeman at dfreeman@princetonschools.net and specify the number and type of tickets being ordered. They must be purchased by 7:40 p.m. Jan. 12.

Organ concert scales traditional to jazz
By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
First Presbyterian Church is jazzing things up a bit. The Glendale church received the gift of a Hammond organ from churchgoers who have moved to the West Coast, and the community celebrated with a concert at the church house building, 155 E. Fountain Ave., Sunday, Jan. 6. The concert included traditional pieces, played by church organist Amy Duke, as well as a jazz performance by Glendale resident Rob Allgeyer,

who is a jazz pianist. The organ was the gift of Steve Antenen and Gwen Truesdell of Fairfield. The couple attended First Presbyterian Church from 2010 to 2012, when the couple moved to California. Duke has served as First Presbyterian organist since 2000, and will play compositions include “Come With Us, O Blessed Jesus” by Dale Wood, and “Prelude and Fugue in F Major” by J.S. Bach. “I’m going to be playing sounds that are like church music,” Duke said.

Then, Allgeyer will perform selections from “The Great American Song Book,” among other pieces, on the organ, which has a history of church worship as well as jazz, blues and popular music. “It was meant as a low-cost alternative to pipe organs,” Allgeyer said. “The churches that couldn’t afford one in their church would buy a Hammond organ. “This sound is associated with gospel music, and a lot of rock, pop and blues grew out of See ORGAN, Page A2 Vol. 29 No. 19 © 2013 The Community Press ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Leave it to volunteers to brighten gray days Well, we’ve had snow, so as far as I’m concerned, all snow bunnies should be happy for the next year. During these short, dreary winter days the memory of a gorgeous November morning takes me back to a time of sunshine and brightly colored leaves. Volunteers from Valley Temple Evelyn in WyoPerkins ming came COLUMNIST to rake my leaves and clean my gutters. Saturday is their Sabbath, so they arrived on Sunday right on the dot. They were kind enough to agree to let me take a photo, and Jeannie Hiller interrupted her busy schedule to share information. Valley Temple, once a school for Judaism, now has a laundry list of social activism. If you look at their website you’ll find that they do everything from cooking and serving at the OverThe-Rhine Soup Kitchen, to providing handmade blankets for hospitals, babies, teens, fire and police departments and shelters around the city, as well as reaching out to those within the Jewish faith. You would be surprised at the number of events the Temple hosts including preschool classes and the Valley Interfaith Food and Clothing Mitzvah Bag Food Drive. They helped me through the work they do for People Working Cooperatively. They participate in a rake weekend, a city-wide event sponsored by PWC held in November where Jeannie once volunteered. When she became active on Valley Temple’s Social Action Committee, she got the Temple involved. Jeannie asked to serve Woodlawn because it is so close to the Temple. Volunteers usually

rake for two or three hours and can get three to four yards done. For 15 years she has watched children who participated grow up and pass volunteering lessons on to their children. Jeannie’s own three children, now ages 23, 27 and 30 have benefitted greatly from the biblical teaching of planting, watering and thus increasing by good deeds.
Jeannie says, “The Temple talks about giving back to the community all the time. Rabbinic interns usually stay two years while learning to become a rabbi, and one of the things they help with is the youth group. Usually seventhand eighth-graders rake, but sometimes high school kids help. If the family has younger children, they gladly pitch in. Parents and children

get good feelings from their deeds. All kids take life lessons from volunteering. It is important for me to be active in my community. “It is important to teach young people to give back. In Hebrew, the words “Tikkun Olam” mean 'repairing the world' and one way to do this is by doing Mitzvot – which means commandments, but it also means good deeds.

Momentary momentum? Tournament win motivates Wyoming By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com
WYOMING — Matt Rooks ended 2012 in style by leading his Wyoming High School boys basketball team to a victory in the Brian Cook Classic Dec. 2829. The Cowboys took the title by defeating Dayton Belmont and Middletown Christian. Playing with just two seniors, Ben Kurtz and Dawson Rogers, Wyoming surpassed last year’s win mark on Dec. 21. After a 1-3 start to the season, the Cowboys won four straight to close out the year. Part of the dilemma for Rooks is erasing last season’s 219 nightmare. “We’re playing a lot of juniors and sophomores,” Rooks said. “I think the guys are starting to see the results of the hard
work. They work hard and they’re playing better in the games.” A disciple of Moeller coach Carl Kremer, Rooks spent the last eight seasons with the Crusaders. He has changed Wyoming’s playing style and has dropped the zone for an aggressive man-to-man approach. “We want Wyoming basketball to be all about hard work and defense,” Rooks said. “We’ve been preaching it every day in practice.” The sweaty sessions paid off with the Cook Classic trophy. At 6-foot-4, junior Will Marty made the all-tournament team, while fellow 6-foot-4 classmate Mark Akinbi was the MVP. Akinbi has been shooting around 70 percent and is Wyoming’s second-leading scorer behind junior guard Ahmad Frost. “Ahmad kind of makes us go,” Rooks said. “Teams are starting to key on him. Mark
Akinbi has worked all offseason. He’s worked his rear end off to get better. He’s probably our best shooter and he can score down low. He’s a tough matchup for teams.” Kurtz, Marty and Dawson Rogers from the football Cowboys complete the starting lineup. At Moeller, Rooks was used to having more basketball-only players. At Wyoming and many Cincinnati Hills League schools, three-sport athletes are crucial to their schools’ success. “A lot of our guys play football,” Rooks said. “I think it takes them a long time (to get in basketball shape). Most of them don’t touch a ball. Marty played really well in the tournament. He can shoot the ball and he’s very smart.” Also contributing off the bench for Wyoming is 5-foot-10 freshman Mason Rogers, 6foot-2 sophomore Walker Lewis
and 6-foot-3 junior Nolan Prevish. 6-foot-5 junior Griffin O’Gara has been injured. With their above average CHL length, crashing the boards and covering the ball is crucial. “Early on, we had a hard time scoring,” Rooks said. “That’s why since day one we’ve said we’ve got to guard people to be good. We have to get some stops.” The league is expected to come down to Mariemont and Madeira, but Rooks feels his group is in the mix. The Warriors and Mustangs are much more senior-laden than the Cowboys. “We played Mariemont the second game of the year,” Rooks said. “We were beating them all the way up to the end. We ended up losing by six.” A rematch is ahead at Mariemont Jan. 18. In the meantime, Wyoming will host Madeira Jan. 11.
Moeller looks for 2nd-half warmth By Scott Springer
sspringer@communitypress.com
KENWOOD — After the organizers of a prep holiday tournament in Naples, Fla., went bankrupt, the Moeller boys basketball team made lemonade out of their lemon in the land of oranges. The Crusaders kept their December roundball tradition alive by continuing on to their destination with their own fund-raising. They finished 2012 by playing a combination of local teams and others who had also traveled south. In the end, coach Carl Kremer’s blue and gold participated in four games, returning home Jan. 2. The tournament was originally going to include topnotch programs like the Crusaders in one portion, with a group of non-sanctioned academies and prep schools in another. When the arrangement fell apart, Moeller carried on by playing a couple of local schools along with Wilbraham and Monson Academy of Massachusetts and a Canadian team. Kremer’s crew defeated Golden Gate High School and Community School from the Sunshine State during the five-
day span. Their lone loss Dec. 27-31 was to the academy near Boston, 47-42. “They had a number of Division I players,” Kremer said of Wilbraham and Monson. “We lost in a close game.” Overall, the Crusaders made the best of the situation and came home ready to continue their rugged Greater Catholic League and non-conference schedule. “I wasn’t sure we were ready for this,” Kremer said. “We’re young.” The Canadian team was Waterloo, out of Ontario. Kremer’s staff had tried to no avail to find out information about them, so he inquired personally on game day in a conversation with their coach. “He said, ‘We’re not a school,’” Kremer explained. “They were an all-star team from southern Ontario organized for the tournament to expose their basketball players to America.” Moeller mounted a secondhalf surge in the game to win 53-35 with junior Grant Benzinger scoring 22 points. “We feel with Josh Davenport on one wing and Grant on the other, we make it difficult for teams to guard us,” Kremer said.
Moeller junior Grant Benzinger (15) has been leading the Crusaders in scoring along with Josh Davenport. He helped Moeller win three out of four games during a holiday trip to Naples, Fla.
Benzinger and Davenport are typically in double digits for the Crusaders, with 6foot-8 sophomore Nate Fowler sometimes posting doubledoubles in points and rebounds. “His fundamentals and basketball IQ is huge,” Kremer said. “He just turned 16 on our Florida trip.” In addition to Fowler in the middle, Moeller has 6-foot-6 Patrick Wrencher returning soon from injury and 6-foot-4,
228-pound Corey Muchmore. The 6-foot-3 Davenport and 6foot-2 Benzinger add to the Crusader’s length, along with 6-foot-7 Jack Anton and 6foot-6 Adam Gigax off the bench. Distributing the ball is junior guard Tre’ Hawkins who leads the GCL in assists. Eventually, three-year player Keith Watkins will return from his football ailments adding to the Moeller arsenal. “Keith can start practice soon, but that’s just practice,” Kremer said. “We want him ready for the tournament. We’ll try to work him in one step at a time.” Ahead on Moeller’s aggressive winter menu are St. Xavier Jan. 11 and a home date with Aiken Jan. 12. “We’ve got some size, we’ve got some athleticism and we’ve got some shooters,” Kremer said. “We’re pretty balanced. Our football guys we didn’t get ‘til really late. It just meshes together we hope by March.” For the long term future, Moeller plans an annual holiday trip and was scheduled to return to Arizona next December (they played there December 2010). However, that endeavor could be on hold financially.

Making college more affordable Standing at over $1 trillion, student tuition loan debt now tops auto loan debt and credit card debt. In the last quarter, the student loan 90-day delinquency rate increased to 11 percent. This delinquency rate is significant considering in 2007 (the start of the sub- prime mortgage crisis,) 16 percent of sub-prime mortgages were 90 days delinquent. Unlike credit card debt or automobile loans, student loans are virtually impossible to liquidate. Consequently, young 20 to 30-year-olds burdened
with tuition debt are forced to put off other purchases like cars and homes, creating a situation that stifles Richard overall U.S. Schwab COMMUNITY PRESS economic growth. GUEST COLUMNIST Relief is on the way for those with federal student loans in the form of the Obama Administration’s “Pay As You Earn” (PAYE) program.
An income-based repayment program, PAYE is a way for struggling borrowers to make affordable monthly payments adjusted to their earnings and discretionary income. Scheduled to go into effect July 1, PAYE will reduce the cap on federal student loan payments to 10 percent of the borrowers income. This 10percent cap is projected to significantly lower the monthly student loan payment (by as much as 33 percent) for millions of over-burdened borrowers. To provide even more relief, loan forgiveness is set at
20 years. In addition, the “Pay As You Earn” income-based student loan repayment plan will help some borrowers avoid defaulting on other loans. A most positive side effect for our nation’s continuing overall economic recovery and growth. President Obama said, “In a global economy, putting a college education within reach for every American has never been more important. But it has also never been more expensive. That’s why we’re taking steps to help nearly 1.6
million Americans lower their monthly student loan payments.” Higher education can not be considered a luxury. Earning a post-secondary degree or credential is a prerequisite for 21st century jobs, and one that every American should be able to afford. Richard O. Schwab was associate head of school, and middle school head, Cincinnati Country Day School. He is founder of Glendale Organizing For America Community Team www.gofactessays.wordpress.com.
Is it time to refinance your mortgage? Looking to lower your monthly payments? Are you looking to consolidate debt? In today’s recovering economy, these questions are top of mind for many borrowers. Millions of Americans are “underwater” or faced with the challenge of owing more Bob Lewis COMMUNITY PRESS on their mortgages than GUEST COLUMNIST their homes may be worth and are struggling to make monthly payments. With extended government programs and currently low mortgage rates, refinancing may be a simple and beneficial option to help you and
your family save money and stay in your home. In the simplest terms, refinancing your home mortgage allows you to apply for a new term and interest rate to help you pay off an existing loan. By taking advantage of a lower interest rate, you may be able to reduce your monthly payments and lower your overall mortgage costs. This can be especially helpful for underwater borrowers struggling to make current loan payments due to a change in a financial situation or when faced with other significant expenses. Money saved through refinancing also may increase your individual cash flow and help you pay off or consolidate other debt, including credit cards.

Refinancing also may allow you to shorten the length of your mortgage term.

Colon cancer tends to develop slowly over years as some polyps (growths in the colon lining) may become cancerous. If polyps are removed early, colon cancer can be prevented. Symptoms may occur later when the disease is more advanced and may include: change in bowel habits, frequent constipation or diarrhea, rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss or anemia, abdominal discomfort or bloating. Many other conditions
could cause these same symptoms and should be discussed with your physician. Lifestyle modification and screening can reduce the risk of colon cancer. Maintaining an ideal body weight, regular exercise, smoking cessation, decreasing red meat and increasing vegetable and fruit consumption can be helpful. Proper screening can significantly reduce the risk of colon cancer by up to 90 percent. Unfortunately, only about 50 percent of Americans have been screened. Several screening options are available and many are covered by Medicare and major insurance carriers. A full colonoscopy is the most complete examination and the only method that simultaneously allows for removal of polyps during the procedure. Testing stool for hidden blood, flexible sigmoidoscopy and barium enema may be useful,but are not as accurate in detecting polyps or cancer as colonoscopy.

Higher risk patients may need to be screened earlier at age 40 or 10 years earlier than the youngest family member was diagnosed with colon cancer. The American College of Gastroenterology recommends African-Americans of average risk start screening at age 45. Colonoscopy is considered the best screening test when performed by a qualified physician. It is safe and sedation used during the procedure makes it comfortable for the vast majority of patients. Newer bowel preparation done to cleanse the colon use smaller volumes of laxatives and are commonly split into two doses to improve the process. Expert ambulatory outpatient centers follow strict quality and safety guidelines. Colon cancer is a preventable disease. Screening and early detection can significantly reduce the risk of colon cancer and needs to be done even when no symptoms are present.

New generation of farmers crops up While others sold and subdivided their land, siblings Dorothy and Jim Gorman were adamant about preserving their family heritage Gannett News Service

EVENDALE —
ate in her life, Dorothy Gorman began receiving baskets of flowers. They weren’t gifts from relatives or friends, though. Instead, real estate developers were trying to sweet-talk Dorothy into selling her farm. Those flowers could have been sent to Siberia for all the good they did. While other farmers sold their land and saw it subdivided, Dorothy and her brother, Jim, were adamant about preserving their family heritage and their farm. If the Gormans were still around – Dorothy died in 2006, Jim in 2001 – they would no doubt be pleased that in August their farm, which dates to the first half of the 19th century, was added to the National Register of Historic Places. They’d also like hearing that a couple of days earlier, Chris Schaefer of Evendale ran a disc through one of the fields in preparation of winter wheat planting. The Gormans also wanted it to remain a working farm. Schaefer, a friend of the Gormans, tells this story as he treks along the farm’s hillside on a cool autumn day. He’s one of about 150 volunteers who pitch in to keep Gorman Heritage Farm going. Schaefer has also helped clear honeysuckle from the hillside to make walkable trails. “A pain in the neck,” he says of the invasive plant. Other volunteers feed animals, tend gardens, help with harvest, make repairs. One might wonder why they put in the time here. After all, surrounded by suburbia on one side and commercial and industrial development on the other, the 120-acre farm can seem out of place. In fact, it’s right where it needs to be. “You come up here,” Schaefer says, reaching the meadow at the top of the hill, “and it’s like you’re in a different world. It’s

kind of an island of solitude.” The Gormans donated the farm to the Cincinnati Nature Center in 1995. Eight years later, the nature center turned it over to the village of Evendale, which established the Gorman Heritage Farm Foundation to operate it as a nonprofit working farm and outdoor education center. “I drove by so many times and never knew what was here,” says Traci Cook of Reading. She and her home-schooled children – Caitlin, 8, Natalie, 9, and Allan, 11 – toured the farm last summer. Since then they’ve been coming every Thursday, which is volunteer day. Roosters crow as the children go about their chores, which include feeding the pigs and chickens and donkey. “Growing up in the city, we haven’t had a whole lot of exposure to farm life,” Cook says. Here, they “gain an appreciation of where we come from, how we survive, the basic necessities of life that are found on a farm.” The children learned, for example, that the farm’s turkeys would end up on dinner tables. That sheep might look soft and fluffy, but their wool is coarse to the touch. And that, as Natalie says, “the animals need a lot of care.” She collects two eggs laid by the Pekin ducks. “Let’s see how

much they weigh,” she says, setting them on a scale that tells her they are “extra large.” She places them in an egg carton in a refrigerator. Later, the family hikes to the top of the hill to eat lunch. “We’ve fallen in love with this place,” Cook says. Another volunteer, Kathy Aerni, hears that a lot, and not just from young people. Older folks “are so happy to be here. If they didn’t live on a farm, their parents probably did. They’re so happy to see animals or some of the tools or just to be in a place where things grow.” Aerni, from Oakley, does her part to keep things growing. “I adopt all these beds,” she says, kneeling in a garden, “and keep them planted.” The Egyptian walking onions, planted this fall, will stay in the ground until spring. The Swiss chard is still growing. And the volunteers keep coming, year-round. Aerni finds something to appreciate about every season at the farm, even winter, when “it’s just so quiet and peaceful.”

JANUARY 9, 2013 • TRI-COUNTY PRESS • B3
Try a hot bowl of soup for winter warmth It’s definitely a soup day. The snow has just about disappeared (and it was just the nicest snow for sledding and building snowmen) but the temperature continues to drop. It registered a fingerfreezing 12 degrees when I went out to feed the chickens last week. Rita After Heikenfeld the glut of RITA’S KITCHEN holiday eating, a steaming hot bowl of soup is just perfect for supper. Barley is in the news for its healthgiving qualities and downright earthy flavor. Interestingly enough, barley was one of the grains people of a generation or two ago used frequently. Back then, it was long-cooking barley. Today we have quickcooking barley, as well. When my kids were infants and lost their appetites when they were sick, my mom would make barley water. I know it sounds weird, but she cooked pearl barley in water, strained it, then added honey and lemon. It wasn’t the most appealing drink, looks-wise, but they liked it and it helped them get well. Mom said it was nourishing. I just took her word for it and it was years later that I
and lay it flat. When you need some, you can push out the frozen paste.
Formerly secret chicken corn chowder For the reader who had a similar soup at a luncheon. The hostess would only divulge ingredients. “The recipe is secret,” she said. If this is similar to what the reader ate, the secret’s out! Substitute dried basil, rosemary and thyme for Italian seasoning if you want.
Chicken corn chowder can help keep you warm this winter. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD.
found out barley’s a good source of vitamin E/ antioxidants, fiber and niacin, and it helps digestion. It’s a great grain for the heart. Mushrooms, too, are good for you. They’re low in calories, carbs, fat and sodium. Plus they’re high in water and fiber and an excellent source of potassium, which helps the body process sodium and lower blood pressure.
Beef barley mushroom soup
My husband Frank likes a drizzle of red wine vinegar to finish off the soup. My colleague Matt
Swaim, producer at Sacred Heart Radio, feels like taking a nap after enjoying this soup. So now you’re forewarned! As I always tell you, adjust the seasonings to taste. 6 strips bacon, cut up 2 cups chopped onion 1 tablespoon garlic 1 pound mushrooms, sliced (I used cremini) 1 scant tablespoon tomato paste 1 quart beef broth plus about a cup of water, if necessary 1 cup quick-cooking barley 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Sauté bacon until
crisp. Add onion and garlic. Cook until onion is starting to brown. Add mushrooms and cook until tender and pot is beginning to get dry. Stir in rest of ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until barley is tender, about 20 minutes. Add water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
I like adding a bit of tomato paste to some soups and stews. Freeze leftover paste in a baggie, smoosh the air out
Olive oil 8 oz. sliced fresh mushrooms 11⁄4 cups chopped onion or more to taste 2 10.5 oz. cans chicken broth or more, if needed 1 pound corn, thawed if frozen or drained if canned 2-3 cups cooked chicken, chopped (deli chicken is good) 1 10.5 oz. can condensed cream of chicken soup 1 ⁄2 cup orzo 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning 1 cup milk 11⁄2 tablespoons flour Salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in soup pot and add mushrooms and onions, and cook over medium high heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, corn, chicken, soup, orzo and seasonings. Bring to a boil, then lower to a sim-
mer and cook until orzo is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir together milk and flour in a small bowl; gradually stir into chowder and cook until hot throughout.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
Onion facts: Small onion equals about 3⁄4 cup, a medium about 11⁄4 cups and a large about 2 cups.

Friendship Bread yeast questions: Debbie Wilson, along with others, questioned the use of yeast in the starter. Some older starter recipes don’t call for any yeast. I have used those starters and they do work, but the yeast gives the starter a “boost” or assurance that I like.

St. Joseph Home receives Rotary Foundation grant St. Joseph Home was presented with a $2,000 grant from the Cincinnati Rotary Foundation at its Dec. 13 meeting. The grant will help St. Joseph Home to create a new sensory room for residents of the Home. St. Joseph Home is a nonprofit ministry of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, providing a residence and respite center for children and adults who have severe to profound developmental dis-
abilities. Once complete, the new sensory room at St. Joseph Home can provide a relaxing or stimulating environment to suit the individual needs of any resident. The room will include visually interesting lighting and optics, aromatherapy, music or environmental sounds, tactile boards and objects, and specialized comfortable seating designed for people with developmental disabilities.
“This is a project we thought might not be possible, with continuing budget cuts,” said Renee Russell, development director. “Thanks to this generous grant from the Cincinnati Rotary Foundation, we were able to launch the project, which will be wonderful for our residents.” “We’ve dreamed about creating an up-to-date sensory room at St. Joseph Home for quite some time,” said Stacy Uhl, pro-
gram manager. “Residents are going to love having a comfortable space where they can either relax, or explore different senses without dis-
