Mayor Kevin Hardman has spent most of his life as a Sharonville resident. That’s where he says the city’s strength lies. “The biggest assets in this city are the people that have been elected to serve and the people that are working for the city,” said Hardman, who was appointed Mayor Jan. 8, after the Dec. 31 resignation of Mayor Virgil Lovitt. “These are individuals who care about the city, and care about doing what’s best for our residents and businesses,” he said. “The folks that work for us are truly dedicated to doing their job the best they can, to provide quality service, efficiently and economically. “Without them, we wouldn’t be the strong city that we are.” With people as the city’s’ strength, Hardman said Sharonville faces the challenge of economic development. “We are always faced with being a city of redevelopment,” Hardman said. “We must keep reinventing ourselves to attract new business, to attract quality businesses that look elsewhere

ed, Theroux said. Theroux said the center will provide quality health care in an environment that will benefit the student as well as parents. “A working family who has an ill child may ask that their child be seen in the Princeton School Based Health Center without taking time off from work,” Theroux said. “A parent might not be able to take time off from work or may not be able to schedule a doctor appointment for another day or two, resulting in the child not being treated, and missing school. “The child would then be seen by the schoolbased health center staff, where the practitioner would simply write a prescription that could be faxed to a local pharmacy
or the parent could pick the prescription up on their way home. “The nurse practitioner could communicate with the primary doctor or make referrals to other doctors, depending on the conversation with the parent.” “The Princeton School Based Health Center offers an exciting opportunity in this challenging economy to increase student health and wellness which, in return, will positively impact student achievement,” Theroux said. “Students will be healthier, more focused, ready to learn, and have fewer absences with the Princeton School Based Health Center.”

the mayor said, pointing out that the municipal building recently made wifi access available, with access at the Community Center to follow. Plans have begun to reconfigure the city’s website, as well, to make it more user-friendly. “Our motto is that we are the City of Progress,” Hardman said. “If we’re going to live up to that motto, we need to be mindful of technology, and reach our potential.”

The healing power of laughter When Bethany School librarian Melinda Boyd invited me to interview Uma Shenai, age 10, Alex Frohn, 9, and Carleigh Reed, 9, I had no idea I would meet such a gregarious trio. They used to be a quartet, but Natalie Raussen no longer attends Bethany. Evelyn These Perkins enchanting COMMUNITY fourthPRESS COLUMNIST graders did something wonderful. A darling letter from the girls to Bethany Head of School Cheryl Pez, reads: “My friends and I came up with a club called the BLC (Bethany Laughter Club). This club was meant for doing good things and having fun. Last summer, we started a yard sale to give to orphanages, health centers, etc ... We made $125. We gave half
to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation and would like to give the other $62.50 to the sister’s school in the Domincan Republic. We hope this money helps.” (“Sister’s” refers to the nuns of the Society of the Transfiguration). When Pez read the letter in character assembly, it inspired other students to ask if they could join the club. Impressed with the girls’ generosity, she commented that they never considered buying toys for themselves, or going to a movie. They wanted all the money to go to help people. The girls held the yard sale in Uma’s long Sharonville driveway. Alex reported, “We all brought lots of stuff and neighbors did, too. Most money came from a 'ginormous' dollhouse, a pink bicycle, a real baby stroller and a never used electric toothbrush. We were having fun. Maybe we will do another yard sale. I have a popsicle

Coyotes return to Blue Ash By Jeanne Houck
jhouck@communitypress.com
BLUE ASH — Keep a close watch on your babies and pets – coyotes have once again been spotted in Blue Ash. The swift canine carnivores might be wise to keep their eyes peeled for humans. Two of the at least three coyotes reported being seen in Blue Ash this year were struck by vehicles. “Blue Ash has been aware of and has been dealing with coyote-related problems for several years,” Blue Ash Police Chief Chris Wallace said. “Occasional attacks of family pets have occurred involving both single and multiple coyotes, tragically, with some attacks resulting in the loss of those

pets. “Cooperation from residents has helped us try to manage the problem by supplying information on the patterns of coyote individuals and packs so control efforts can be properly focused,” Wallace said.
Blue Ash Lt. Steve Schueler said two people reported seeing what police believe to be the same coyote about 2 p.m. Oct. 21 on Ryans Way. One coyote was struck by a vehicle about 3 p.m. July 11 on Reed Hartman Highway at Malsbary Road and a second about 9 p.m. April 23 on Plainfield Road near Carpenter’s Run Drive, Schueler said. Wallace said coyotes can roam from five to 25 miles. “Ones you see on a given day may be quite a distance away the next day,” Wallace said. “However, they often will be seen returning to the same areas, frustrating efforts to control problematic coyotes.” Wallace recommends that you:
» Don’t leave pet food outside. » Tightly secure garbage can and dumpster lids. » Pick up any fallen fruit in your yard. Coyotes eat both plants and animals. » Don’t leave pets unattended outside for long periods of time. Coyotes will jump fences. » Make noise and wave your arms if you see a coyote near your home. » Back up slowly but do not turn your back if confronted by a coyote. “Coyotes are here to stay, and cooperation is essential to minimize conflicts,” Wallace said. “Blue Ash residents should report coyote problems and attacks by calling dispatch at 7458555.”
track team, too. Two of her favorite things to do are playing soccer and visiting her grandparents in Missouri Uma is definitely ready to have another fundraiser in warmer weather. She said, “I began thinking about the laughter club during Christmas of 2011, so we’ve been doing a lot of laughing and planning since then. Now there are only three of us, but maybe we will expand because other students have asked to join.” Uma enjoys reading and being with her family and friends, even if only to play board games. Uma likes lime green, too. She says Carleigh, Alex and she seem to snap into new color

choices at the same time. All three girls have boundless energy and their camaraderie filled the room. In the midst of their exuberance, they expressed some refreshingly mature comments. Uma remarked that she could do without political discussions. Though their families voted for different candidates last November, the girls remained friends with all the adults. Carleigh and Alex chimed in that even when they disagree with one another, they can find a compromise. Evelyn Perkins writes a regular column about people and events in the Tri-County Press area.

Faith-based ministry for dog owners By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
A program offered at one Wyoming church gives dogs with their owners the opportunity to spread comfort and the message of Christ. The eight-week Canines for Christ session will be at Ascension and Holy Trinity Church, at 334 Burns Ave., began Jan. 19. Canines for Christ is a Christian-based, animalassisted therapy ministry. Dogs and their owners work together to train the pets to visit places
that include hospitals, nursing homes, hospice facilities, special-needs facilities and cancer centers. Training starts with the basics of sit, stay, down, come and walking on a leash. The session continues with preparation for the AKC (American Kennel Club) Canine Good Citizen test, which includes sitting politely for petting, approach of strangers and other dogs, walking through a crowd, grooming, distractions and supervised separation from the dog’s owner.
Dog owners will learn leadership skills, behavior troubleshooting, identifying stress in the dog and interaction guidelines. In addition to behavior training over the eightweek course, the dog must wear the approved vest and patch, and the owner must be willing to pass out a card with the dog’s photo and a message of God’s plan of salvation. Betsy Cooper, a member of Ascension and Holy Trinity, thought it was a fetching idea, and brought it to the Wyoming
community. “I like it because it’s faith-based, Christianbased dog therapy,” Cooper said. “It brings happiness to people.” The church’s pastor, Eric Miller, signed up with his 15-month-old black Labrador retriever, Grace. “I want to be able to use her in my ministry, and as a Christian to go to a nursing home, hospitals, even people’s homes,” Miller said. “Sometimes, we don’t have the right words, but the simple presence of being with one another is
what we need,” he said. “Animals can sometimes do it even better. “Many times humans can’t get through, but animals are always capable of doing that,” Miller said. “They offer unconditional love, warmth and grace.” The cost is $75, and more than a dozen dogs were signed up for the first session. “I hope they come with a positive attitude about dogs and caring for people,” Cooper said. “It’s about spreading love, and what Jesus taught us: to love one another.”
Grace will attend the Canines for Christ training course with her owner, Ascension and Holy Trinity Episcopalian Church Pastor Eric Miller. THANKS TO ERIC MILLER

MND hosts Ohio Northern U. dean
Mount Notre Dame’s physics and engineering students recently hosted Eric Baumgartner, the dean of the T.J. Smull College of Engineering and a professor of mechanical engineering at Ohio Northern University. Baumgartner came to the school and shared with the students insights about engineering and his work with Mars Exploration. Prior to joining ONU, Baumgartner spent 10 years at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, where he held a number of technical and management positions including a leadership role on the Mars Exploration Rover project that successfully launched, landed
and operated the Spirit and Opportunity rovers on the Martian surface. Baumgartner was honored with the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal in 2004 for his efforts on the Mars rover project and, in May 2008, Baumgartner, along with two of his colleagues at JPL, was presented with the 2008 IEEE Robotics and Automation Award. After his visit to MND, Baumgartner shared, “Thanks for the opportunity to talk with your students. In all my years giving this talk, your students were the most engaging and asked the best questions. It was very enjoyable from my perspective.”

Key injury doesn’t keep Princeton down With Kelsey Mitchell out, Lady Vikes stay in the GMC hunt By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com
Despite key injuries to Kelsey Mitchell - ESPN.com’s top ranked player in the 2014 class the girls of the Princeton High School basketball team have kept the Vikings near the top of the Greater Miami Conference standings. Since Mitchell went down with a high-grade foot sprain Dec.1, the Vikings are 7-3 (as of Jan 14) and have ripped four consecutive victories. In Mitchell’s absence, Princeton coach Jill Phillips believes the team is gaining a great deal of experience, having been playing and winning without the league’s leading scorer. “Everybody’s had to step up and produce a little more to make for the loss,” Phillips said. That experience could be extra beneficial during the postseason. “I think they’ll be better for it,” Phillips said. “I don’t think they’ll be relying on (Kelsey) as much as they did before, so if and when she comes back, it will be a great addition to our team and we’re still a solid team without her, but with her, I think we are very, very good.” Mitchell could return to the Vikings’ lineup Jan. 23 or 30, according to Gannett News Service. Until then, Phillips and company will continue to count on the play of Carlie Pogue, who is just one of the players rising to the occasion in Mitchell’s absence. The center has been a staple of consistency, averaging 12.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per
WYOMING — When bowler Rachel Viacava’s spinning ball tips over all 10 pins, she never hears the thunderclap of the strike. Instead, she cheerfully acknowledges the emptiness at the end of the lane by raising both hands. She then smiles at her mother, MiViacava chelle, and her interpreter, Liz Simon. Senior Rachel Viacava is deaf and has the leading average for coach Connie Pollington’s Wyoming girls. Her top game has been a 192. On Jan. 14 against Reading, Viacava rolled a 326 series at Brentwood Bowl. It was the highest score of any of the girls in competition. “She’s the best on the team,” proud mother Michelle Viacava said. Amazingly, Rachel Viacava just started bowling last year and had immediate success. She had previously played basketball as a point guard. Although she was a pretty good ball-handler, the demands of modern-day prep basketball and travel led to her switch to the heavier ball with three holes. “She went to a little camp with the St. X coach, who’s her uncle,” Viacava said. “She really liked it. She started coming up here (Brentwood Bowl) and practicing.” Rachel would like to participate in some level of club bowling post-high school. Vocationally, she has some technical
skills and might pursue something mechanical. Another difficult task she’s mastered is welding. She’s made her own jewelry, including a necklace with a “V” for Viacava. “She’s got some metal sculptures, Viacava said. “She’s very hands-on and very visual.” Like many who lose use of a sense, Rachel Viacava has more than compensated with skills a person with full hearing ability would find difficult. Her classwork has not been flawless, but it’s pretty close. “She has pretty much mostly A’s and some B’s,” Viacava said. “She’s a 3.7 GPA. She’s a hard worker. I would say that gets her there. She’s very focused and persistent and doesn’t give up easily.” The journey to Rachel’s senior year wasn’t easy. Her condition came about as an allergic reaction to infant vaccines. It led to a number of emotional and physical difficulties. At times she didn’t recognize her mother and numerous tests and procedures were done. Through great diligence, her condition improved as she matured. Rachel now wears a hearing aid to assist her. Her mother laughs as she explains that she also has the “convenience” of removing it. “She speaks and she signs,” Viacava said. “She talks with her friends and she does very well.” The progress is amazing considering the early diagnosis ruled out any such competitive participation. Like a good Cowboy, Rachel Viacava climbed back in the saddle many times. “If she needs to get a haircut or get anything done, she can do it herself,” Viacava said. “She just turned18 and can drive. She does rock climbing and likes snowboarding. I’ve never stopped her and told her she couldn’t do anything.”

game. Phillips said the 6-foot-2 junior worked at increasing her stamina in the offseason, which has paid dividends. “She’s been very consistent finishing around the basket and shooting over 50 percent from the floor,” Phillips said. Pogue has amassed eight double-doubles this season, as the Vikings (10-3, 8-1) trail only Mason (14-0, 9-0) in the conference standings. The play of Jasmyn Hardin, Chelsea Mitchell, Emily Roper, and Jada Ballew has also aided Princeton’s success. Mitchell is averaging 10.1 points, while Roper is scoring 7.5 points and snagging 4.5 boards per contest. Hardin is proving to be an outside threat and is 10 of 20 from 3-point territory in her
last three games. Ballew is working her way back in the lineup after suffering a knee injury earlier in September. She was a starter on last year’s team and is working her way back into the lineup, according to Phillips. As the Vikings head down the final stretch of the regular season, Phillips and company will look for more consistency in perimeter shooting. In two of the team’s past three losses, the team failed to shoot at least 35 percent from the field. Those games included a 32.7 percent effort against Hathaway Brown, and a 34.7 effort against Mason. “If you look at the losses, we haven’t shot well, especially from the perimeter,” Phillips said.

Lions lead hunt for title By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com
BLUE ASH — With four conference games to go, Ursuline Academy controls its own destiny in the Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League. The Lions (11-3, 6-0) hold a two-game lead over Mercy (12-4, 4-2) and Mount Notre Dame (8-7, 4-2), as of Jan. 18. Ursuline earned a 13point win over MND earlier in the year, and swept the season series against Mercy. Those victories provided the Lions with a big confidence boost, especially since the Ursuline lost both of its games to Mercy last season, according to coach Keith Starks. “Last year we played Mercy close and lost by one (on the road) and then two (at home),” Starks said. “We knew if we could play well and get a win, we would be in the driver’s seat for having an opportunity to win the league.” Starks said the Lions also gained confidence with its win over Princeton, Jan. 17. The Vikings were without star guard Kelsey Mitchell, but the win helped the Lions get back on the track after a 60-31 loss to Centerville — the No. 7-ranked team in the state — Jan. 12. The Lions have also managed to stay on top of the league standings despite being bit by the injury bug. Junior Christy Miller tore her ACL against Mount Notre Dame Dec.
Ursuline Academy’s Megan Ogilbee (23) makes the game-winning basket with 6.9 seconds on the clock while Mercy’s Emma Bley (11), Allie Ramsey (31) and Emily Budde (12) defend Jan. 10. JOSEPH FUQUA II/THE COMMUNITY PRESS
20, while sophomore guard Ali Schirmer has missed time with hamstring issues. Sophomores Megan Oglibee and Mattina Girardot have helped pick up the slack. Girardot grabbed seven rebounds during the Princeton win, while Ogli-
bee contributed six points. Oglibee also hit the game-winning shot in the squad’s 1-point win over Mercy Jan. 10. At center, senior Sarah Reilly has also continued to dominate. Now averaging a double-double (12.6 points, 10.0 rebounds), Reilly went on a three-game stretch that started Dec. 29 where she scored 20 or more points. “She picked up the scoring with Christy and Ali going down,” Starks said. “She elevated her game and kind of carried us through that stretch and now the other kids are starting to pick up the scoring a little bit.” And that’s the great thing about this team, according to Sparks. Baskets can come from any position on any given night, as demonstrated by Caitlin Cashman coming off the bench to score 10 points in the Princeton victory.

Gerrymandering should be illegal Ohio is a “purple” state, a great swing state in national elections. Ohio elected Barack Obama twice and has a U.S. senator from each party. Ohio is a 50/50 state except in the 113th U.S. House where the mix is 12 Republicans and 4 Democrats. How can this be? The answer is gerrymandering. Gerrymandering (manipulating geographic lines to create partisan districts) is a game both parties play because the courts allow it. Instead of voters choosing politicians, gerrymandering lets politicians choose voters. Ohio is not accurately represented in native son John Boehner’s House. We should and can fix this. In Ohio, Republicans have drawn themselves safe districts since they gained control of the governor’s office and the
State House and Senate in 2010 – a redistricting year because it followed the latest census. The GOP Richard has gerrymanSchwab dered Ohio so COMMUNITY PRESS that rural votGUEST COLUMNIST ers and Republican neighborhoods have much more power in the U.S. House of Representatives than minority and urban communities. Increased mapping technology has allowed for ever more subtle manipulation of district lines, resulting in many more reliable Republican districts than Democratic districts. The Ohio Congressional district map for the 113 U.S. Congress is comprised of bizarrely shaped districts. Ger-
rymandering is easy to spot as it creeps and crawls all over the state’s landscape. For example, Ohio’s oddly shaped 6th district is made up of portions of 18 counties. In 2006, President George W. Bush signed a 25-year extension of the 1965 Voting Rights Act – one of the nation’s most important civil rights laws. The Voting Rights Act constrains gerrymandering with two provisions: » One forces states with a history of segregation to “pre clear” their line-drawing plans with the Department of Justice or go to court. » Another allows the Justice Department (and citizens) to challenge redistricting plans if they dilute the voting power of racial minorities. In 1986, The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Davis v. Ban-
demer that drawing lines for the sake of partisan advantage was unconstitutional. Problem is, ever since, claims of partisan gerrymandering have been brought up but never win. This past November, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a Texas challenge to the Voting Rights Act. The ultimate bulwark against gerrymandering is the establishment of non-partisan or bipartisan redistricting commissions comprised of non-office holding citizens. The League of Women Voters and Common Cause endorse Citizen Redistricting Commissions. Currently operating in 11 states, these commissions re-district with the criteria: » compactness; » preservation of communities of interest; » protection of minority
voting rights; » electoral competition. Our state and nation would be better served making safe seats competitive. Safe seats contribute to polarization, over emphasis on primary challengers versus general elections, a disincentive to compromise, and overall government dysfunction. Together, the Voting Rights Act and Citizen Redistricting Commissions will enforce and strengthen the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and ensure the principle of “one person, one vote.” 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.
Shared services is not a panacea Shared services refers to communities and government offices teaming up to take advantage of economies of scale to deliver required services. The state administration continues to offer it as something new and wonderful, as a possible way for counties, cities, village and townships to try and deal with the state’s excessive and extreme cuts in local government funding. The reality is many have been sharing services for
years. Most local governments and public offices always work together as often as they can. They do not need to be Dusty Rhodes COMMUNITY PRESS encouraged to do so. It is not GUEST COLUMNIST an original or real solution to the loss of long standing, significant state support. Our office was among the
first to participate when then Clerk of Courts Jim Cissell proposed a combined county mail facility in 1992. When the city of Cincinnati closed down its Weights and Measures Department in 1996, our staff took over that responsibility in the city – and did it with no additional staff. For many years key county network servers along with the county commissioners’ agenda system was supported through a joint operation with the city of Cincinnati. During
the past year the city expressed the desire to conclude this service. So much for depending on another government entity. County administration turned to us for help. I immediately asked our talented and professional information technology staff to assist. They have been working on the project for several months and the transition of support will be completed soon. The county will have better control of these sys-
tems and services and some modest savings are anticipated. Shared services is a noble concept but it is not innovative nor is it a panacea. It certainly cannot replace the funds state government has taken away from local and county governments. Local governments help each other all the time. Let us not call the commonplace special. Dusty Rhodes is the Hamilton County auditor.
Making the most of your charitable donations With so many good causes and organizations out there, how do you pick the right one? Here are some tips on how to make the most out of charitable donations throughout the year: 1) Follow your heart. Pick a charity or non-profit organization you are passionate about. Not only will your donation help the organization, but choosing a cause you deeply care about will make the gift more meaningful to you. 2) Try to have impact. You probably get requests all the time from neighbors, colleagues and even at the grocery store to support local causes and fundraisers. Five
dollars or $20 here and there to support your friends and family and their activities is totally fine as long as it Heidi Jark fits your budCOMMUNITY PRESS get. But if you GUEST COLUMNIST really want to make an impact through charitable giving, pick the top two or three charities you care about the most and divide your donation amounts among them. By focusing your donations on a few causes, your money will go further to help those in need. 3) It is OK to say no. No one
likes to say no, but it is impossible to support every request you may receive. Be respectful to the organizations you cannot support and let them know honestly that you are contributing to other causes. This will help you prioritize your giving, and it actually will help the non-profit focus its fundraising efforts on other potential donors. Remember, wasting an organization’s time can be worse than saying no. 4) Do your homework. Besides picking a charity you are passionate about, research the organization. Review its annual report to see how the organization is doing financially and how donations are being used.
You also can review financial information for charities through your local Better Business Bureau. 5) Don’t wait until the end of the year. The holiday season is a popular time to donate, but non-profits need support yearround. Consider donating earlier in the year to help organizations offset costs and to help manage your budget before holiday expenses start rolling in. 6) Get the whole family involved. Be an example for your children. Kids learn how to be charitable by watching their parents, and you can help pass on philanthropic behavior by involving your kids in the
giving process. Let them pick the charity or encourage them to donate toys or clothing to a local non-profit to get more involved. 7) Volunteer. Non-profit organizations always need volunteers for programs, services and events. Donating your time will help you gain exposure to the organization you support, and you also can see in action how your donations are being used.

Swimmers participate in the Jose Cerda Swim Clinic. THANKS TO JIM CALLAWAY
Swimmers learned from world champions at José Cerdá Clinic
More than 60 swimmers from a wide variety of cubs and high schools across the Greater Cincinnati area participated in the José Cerdá Swim Clinic Oct. 27 at the Keating Aquatic Center of the University of Cincinnati. This was the second Memorial Clinic in honor of José Cerdá who passed away suddenly Oct. 26, 2010, his 18th birthday, during a swim practice. The José Cerdá Swim Clinic is designed to help high school and elite junior high school swimmers reach the next level of competition in a combined setting of water instruction and classroom presentations. It was inspired by José’s missing his sectional cut in 100-meter backstroke by 0.01 sec. The four champions who taught the 2012 José Cerdá Swim Clinic were: » Three-time Olympian British swimmer and 2005/2006 NCAA champion Simon Burnett; » Oxford native Whitney Myers – 2007 NCAA Champion in 200 IM and NCAA Woman of the Year; gold medalist at the World Swimming Championships and the Pan Pacific Championships. Myers graduated from Ursuline Academy; » Cincinnati native Josh Schneider – holder of the fifth fastest world time on 50-meter freestyle and 2010 NCAA champion. Schenider graduated from Taylor High School and is part of the swIMPACT program of USA Swimming which promotes the sport and the healthy lifestyle it represents. Find more information about swIMPACT at www.usaswimming.org; » Montgomery native David Mosko – semi-finalist of the 200 butterfly at the 2008 and 2012 US Olympic Trials and Ohio High School state record holder for the 500 yard free. Mosko graduated from St. Xavier High School. The above champions partnered with high school coaches led by Chris Wolford, head coach of the Cincinnati Marlins, to instruct the Clinic. In addition, Burnett, Myers, Mosko and Schneider shared their personal experiences handling the social, mental and health aspects of swimming in a Q&A session and signed autographs during the social hour that followed the clinic.

Rita’s blender banana bread uses banana puree. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD.

utes.
Ellen’s orzo-roni

County honors ‘clean kitchens’ The Hamilton County Public Health “Clean Kitchen Award” recognizes the best-of-the-best in maintaining safe food service operations. “We started the Clean Kitchen Award to recognize food service facilities in the County that are exemplary in maintaining clean, well-cared-for and ultimately, safe environments for serving food,” assistant commissioner Greg Kesterman said. “Since we began issuing the award in 2011, it has really become popular with the county’s food service operations and we are seeing applications increase nearly every month.” The requirements for receiving a Clean Kitchen Award are stringent. To be considered, facilities must: » have fewer than three violations in the previous two years prior to applying; » have no “critical” or
repeat violations in the previous two years; » maintain at least two staff members with Level I Food Handler certification or at least one staff member with a current ServSafe certificate; » submit applications along with corresponding documentation, and » have a minimum of two years of inspection data on file with Hamilton County Public Health. “The award is a real honor for our operators,” Kesterman said. “It’s not easy to receive one of these awards and our winners are diligent in maintaining sanitary operations. If you are out and about and find one of our awards displayed in a restaurant or other food service facility, you can be sure that these operators take sanitation very seriously.” Inspection data for all food service facilities, as well as Clean Kitchen Award winners is avail-
able on the Hamilton County Public Health website at hamiltoncountyhealth.org . The Clean Kitchen Award reflects inspection data from the previous two years and is not necessarily indicative of current conditions. Local winning operators for the second half of 2012: Evendale Elementary, 3940 Glendale-Milford Road, Evendale Lincoln Heights Elementary, 1113 Adams St., Lincoln Heights Mt.

Melt butter in skillet. Add onion and sauté until translucent. Add garlic and cook another minute. Add mushrooms and cook until soft and juices have released. Add orzo and spaghetti and coat well with butter. Add broth, stir, bring to boil. Cover and reduce to simmer. Simmer 15 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed. Add parsley and season. Ellen says it will be a little saucy, which is what you want.
Blender banana bread
oven to 350 degrees. To puree in blender add oil, eggs and vanilla. Whirl until blended. Whisk flour, sugar, soda, salt and nuts together in bowl. Pour banana mixture over dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Don’t over mix. Pour into pan, sprinkle with extra sugar, and bake 45 minutes or so until center springs back when lightly pressed. Cool on rack a few minutes before removing from pan.
This is the most moist and delicious banana bread I’ve made in a long time. I have a “tastes like Bob Evans” banana bread recipe on my blog (Cincinnati.Com/blogs) that uses half as much butter as oil, along with buttermilk, and that’s a good one, too. The one thing I will tell you, though, is for any banana bread to taste good, the bananas have to be really ripe, like black-speckled ripe, for the bread to have a good, sweet banana flavor. If you don’t have a blender, you can do this by hand.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
Refrigerate or freeze ripe bananas! The skin will turn black, but inside will be creamy yellow. Mix nuts with flour mixture so they stay suspended in your baked goods and don’t sink to the bottom.
3 very ripe bananas whirled in blender to make 1 cup puree 1 cup vegetable oil 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 11⁄2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 cup walnuts, chopped in blender (optional) Little bit of sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)

“Growing Closer to God, Growing Closer to Neighbor”
Tu B’Shevat, the 15th of Shevat on the Jewish calendar — celebrated this year on Saturday, January 26, 2013 — is the day that marks the beginning of a “New Year for Trees.” This is the season in which the earliest-blooming trees in the Land of Israel emerge from their winter sleep and begin a new fruit-bearing cycle. The day of Tu B’Shevat is traditionally marked by eating fruit, particularly from the kinds that are singled out by the Torah in its praise of the bounty of the Holy Land: grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates. On this day we remember that “man is a tree of the field” (Deuteronomy 20:19) and

nati, and » six Monday evenings 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. beginning Feb. 4, also at Chabad Center. Topics include privacy, forgiveness, responsibility to our parents, charity, honesty, and making and keeping commitments. The course will address questions such as: When is it ethical to use a covert camera? Should one forgive domestic violence? What is the extent of our financial obligation to our parents? How binding are our verbal commitments? There comes a time when we’re forced to choose between conflicting responsibilities or to make ethical compromises for good reasons. How do we decide what is right, and more importantly, what is right for us in our unique situation? Packed with real-life scenarios, “Living with Integrity” challenges students to articulate their own opinions, while providing practical Talmudic wisdom to help them navigate through life’s inevitable ethical challenges. This course will not only provide the tools to make appropriate decisions, it will also enhance their interaction with family and friends. In addition, this course has been accredited Ohio Supreme Court for nine hours of CLE Ethics Credits. Call 793-5200 or visit www.myJLI.com for registration and other information.

Tricounty Players presents ‘Run for Your Wife’ Tricounty Players returns to the Sharonville Fine Art Center stage at the end of January with the adult British farce, “Run for Your Wife” by Ray Cooney. Mary Benken is the director. The show opens Friday
Jan. 25, and continues at 8 p.m. Jan. 26, Feb. 1 and Feb. 2. There is a matinee at 3 p.m. Sunday Jan. 27, which is signed for the hearing impaired. Tickets can be reserved by calling the TCP Ticket Line at 471-2030.
Ticket prices are $12 for adults, and $10 for seniors and students. Ray Cooney is a recognized master of comedy, and has written 20 stage comedies, which have been performed all over the world and translated into forty different
languages. “Run for Your Wife!” ran for over eight years on the London stage, and will be released in England as a movie in February. The play tells the story of John, a London taxi driver married to two
wives in different parts of London. Things go well until he rescues an elderly woman from muggers and winds up in the hospital, threatening his exposure. Things get a little crazy when neighbor Stanley, who knows the truth, tries
to “help” and makes matters worse. Add two police detectives, one sexually charged wife, one play-bythe-rules wife, and a gay dressmaker and you have the elements of chaos, double entendre and innuendo.
United Way, partners open free tax prep center Jan. 23 Hardworking local families can get a leg up on tax season by taking advantage of free in-person tax preparation services starting Jan. 23.

Healthy Visions creative contest attracts students from 15 schools negative experiences, and students are ultimately given control over their futures with a positive outlook and tools for success. As Healthy Visions tackles tough issues ranging from substance abuse to low self-image to promiscuity, their presenters deliver the straight truth on these topics. The goal is to help students understand that actions have consequences by weighing the potential risks of certain behaviors against the alleged benefits. In the end, a clear picture comes forth that real fun never stems from alcohol, drugs or sex. Instead, presenters illustrate how respect, love, and good-natured humor are the keys to making better decisions both inside and outside of the classroom. From dating to friendships to familial bonds, teens maintain numerous relationships throughout adolescence. Healthy Visions explains the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships, comparing “red flag” behaviors like jealousy, an-
ger, and disrespect to “green flag” behaviors such as trust, security, and value for oneself and others. The goal is for students to be able to live life without regrets, especially when it comes to how they treat family, friends, and loved ones. Statistics show cutting, substance abuse, eating disorders and other destructive behaviors are on the rise. Healthy Visions understands that anyone can be “at risk” for any of these unhealthy habits during the tumultuous teen years. The organization cultivates selfworth, self-respect and self-confidence within the students it serves so they value every aspect of their lives and seek the absolute best. Students that have Healthy Visions’ programming are more informed and better equipped to avoid destructive thoughts and behaviors before they take root. Healthy Visions speakers receive a large amount of art and writings from students as well as from generous grant contributions. Last May,
Business focuses on pet behavior Public relations consultant and founder of the “Good Things Going Around” blog project, Lisa Desatnik now has a new outlet for spreading goodness. A long-time student of positive behavior management in pets, she has started So Much PETential! dog training using positive strategies for teaching pets good behaviors while reducing, eliminating or preventing unwanted behaviors (also working some with birds). Desatnik began studying the science of behavior when her then young Timneh African Grey decided he liked imitating her other birds’ screams. “Learning how to modify his behavior so that I can share my home with an enthusiastic talker instead of a constant screamer is what turned me on to the use of applied behavior analysis and positive reinforcement strategies in setting our pets up for success. I have used those same principles in training our family
dog and now in teaching others about training their pet,” she said. Included among her training education is Dr. Susan Friedman's “Living and Learning with Parrots” and “Living and Learning With Animals” courses, the “Art and Science of Training Companion Parrots” workshop from Orlando-based Natural Encounters, several workshops from world renowned Trainer Barbara Heidenreich, the “Five Minute Recall” course from world agility champion agility dog trainer Susan Garrett, and she recently attended the Association of Professional Dog Trainers Conference. Desatnik is an associate member of the International Association of Avian Trainers and Educators, APDT, and a supporting member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants. She is also a member of Doggone Safe. Desatnik shares pet behavior information through her website blog
