us and what we can do,” she said. “It’s the culture of the district,” Princeton High School Principal William Sprankles said. “We have a lot of resources and our kids know that, so when we ask the kids to help, they always respond. “They’re intrinsically motivated to want to help.” The same willingness was seen in Wyoming, where students arrived at school early each morning to sell hot chocolate before class. One day, Project LEAD and the Youth Services Bureau asked students to donate the equivalent of

Funds will be donated to Doctors Without Borders. “We don’t expect them to go without the food,” said Pat Lehman of Project LEAD. “Just donate at least the same amount as the cost of a lunch, or of an item they have bought or brought to lunch. “It’s a ‘buy one, help one’ approach,” she said. Teachers walked the Princeton hallways dressed in jeans, for which each paid $5 for the day. Even the elementary-aged students rose to the occasion. Stewart
Elementary Principal Shauna McDowell said her school collected $750 in less than a week, and the donations were still coming in. “While the situation is totally overwhelming, and while we can’t do a lot,” Lehman said, “we can all help a little.” Princeton Superintendent Gary Pack said the benefit to students is twofold. “One, the need in Haiti is just overwhelming and every little bit helps,” Pack said. “Second, it instills in our students the belief that they can help, that they can make a difference.”

Though the catastrophe is far away and out of view, students and staff at Princeton and Wyoming school districts have taken action to collect donations for the victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Adekemi Ademuyewo, one of several students at Princeton High School who work with the American Red Cross during the summer, assembled a donation box. The box was filled, and along with lunchtime donations, collections during third bell and a districtwide jeans day promotion for staff members, the high school raised nearly $2,500 in a week. “It’s really special to see students unite for a good cause,” said Jade Brown, one of the students who helped with the Red Cross donation box. “This shows a brighter side of

Pair cast their first votes as Sharonville councilmen By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
Sharonville’s two new members of city council faced just two pieces of legislation at their first meeting Jan. 12. Paul Schmidt and Ed Cunningham cast their votes for the first time as councilmen on an ordinance that ensures the continuance of $2.82 million in
Cunningham Schmidt notes previously issued. “Some of the city debt is in one-year notes, and the one-year renewal came up now,” Mayor Virgil Lovitt
said of the $2.82 million. “We have renewed the notes to borrow that money for another term, but it’s not new money.” During the year’s initial meeting, Kerry Rabe was appointed president pro tem and Martha Cross Funk was reappointed clerk of council. The second legislation was a voice vote, also passed unanimously, authorizing payments for outside legal
work regarding the fire department that was started without fiscal authorization by council. The fire department also reported that emergency responses in 2009 were down 8 percent compared to the previous year. Councilman Rob Tankersley reported that fire runs totaled 1,163 in 2008 and 1,109 in 2009. Emergency medical runs totaled 2,333 in 2008 and 2,085 in 2009.
He also announced that the department has hired two part-time employees. Tim Reeder and Doug Engled are working to complete orientation programs. Tankersly also reported that the police department is investigating a possible counterfeiting ring in which $5 bills were bleached and reprinted at $100 bills. The department also announced that the Ohio
Attorney General’s Office was awarded $1,573 in grant money for its school DARE program. Schmidt reported that the health department is offering H1N1 flu shots by appointment. Residents can call 563-1722 to schedule. The department also offers cholesterol screenings, which cost $15 for residents and require an appointment.
Wyoming lauds outstanding residents and residences By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
Wyoming paid tribute to beautiful lawns and outstanding citizens during a city council meeting filled with awards. The Promote Wyoming Committee honored 11 residents during its 24th annual Citizen of the Year ceremony at Wyoming High School’s Pendery Center Jan. 26. The 2009 Citizens of the Year are: Doris Adams, Matt Fischer, Lonnie Grayson, Rick Henkel, Jim Herd, Karen Kent, Steve Mombach, Amsu Rajbhandari, Sheryl Rajbhandari, Edward Sauer and Todd Wales. Rebecca Ritchie, who chairs the Beautify Wyoming Commission, presented the annual beautification awards to the following residents: Mark and Wyoming Family Practice Center announces the departure of Jennifer White, M.D., effective January 31, 2010.

and the Wyoming Golf Club. Also during the meeting: • Council approved an ordinance allowing city Manager Bob Harrison to enter into a contract to buy 648 Van Roberts Place. The city will buy the property for $25,000, Harrison said, adding that the
appraised value is $75,000. Councilwoman Jenni McCauley asked why the city was buying the property during hard economic times, “when we need to watch the budget.” Harrison said the plan to convert Van Roberts Place into a greenway had been in the works for some time. “The owner said he doesn’t want to continue leasing the property,” Harrison said of the timing. “Since it fits with our overall plan, it was an opportunity for a win-win.” • Council received the annual financial report for 2009. Revenues came in at nearly $20.6 million, which was about $240,000 more than expected, according to Finance Director Jenny Chavarria. Expenses totaled just over $18.1 million, which was $1 million less than expected. • Councilmembers were appointed to lead several committees: Will Papa to the Board of Building and Zoning Appeals, Walter Cordes to the Environmental Stewardship Commission, Jenni McCauley to the Planning Commission, and Jim O’Reilly and Barry Porter to the Firemen’s Dependency Fund.

As Princeton School Board member Tawana Keels prepared to hand over the reigns as president of the Ohio School Board Association, she had the opportunity to showcase the Princeton district at the annual conference in Columbus. About 10,000 educators attended the three-day conference, including Princeton Superintendent Gary Pack, interim Treasurer Jeremie Hittle, human resources director Vicki Brian and administrators Mari Phillips and Tim Dugan. All five board members – Keels, Lillian Hawkins, Steve Moore, Bob Maine and Sandy Leach – also attended. Among the highlights were interviews by Keels’ daughter, Tiffany Simons, that included keynote speaker Soledad O’Brien of CNN and Gov. Ted Strickland. "The reaction to our kids was wonderful,” Pack said. “And for Tiffany to have the opportunity to interview the governor, Soledad O’Brien and others, that’s a great opportunity for a young journalist. “She did wonderfully.” “It was a worthwhile experience because I know a lot of teens do not have the opportunity to meet a CNN reporter and the governor in the same week and interview them,” Simons said.”The overall experience of being a student journalist was magical.” Her mom was proud of her.
“Tiffany conducted her interviews with professionalism and poise,” Keels said.”I am proud of her work both at Princeton and at the Conference.” Keels handed over the gavel to Winton Woods school board member John Pennycuff. “Having Tawana as OSBA president has not only been great for Princeton and Great Oaks, but all public schools in Ohio,” Pack said of Keels, who also serves on the Great Oaks board.”She’s a passionate advocate for education and kids.” Keels said she enjoyed her term as president. “I will cherish every school performance, work session, cabinet meeting and mile traveled, both domestic and abroad,” she said.”My work as an advocate for children and public education will continue in 2010, as I serve as past president of OSBA.” She will continue to work with the OSBA cabinet, as a member of the Student Achievement Leadership team and as a participant in Strickland’s Institute on Creativity and Innovation. Princeton’s Education Technology Department and the International Baccalaureate Visual Arts program displayed projects at two booths during the Student Achievement Fair. Tech ed teacher Brian Lien, board member Steve Moore and parent Eugene Rutz gave a presentation on trends in technology education, as well as how to integrate the needs of high schools and colleges.

St. Clare’s convent donates food from community garden By Brian O’Donnell tricountypress@communitypress.com

Members of the Wyoming community and sisters from St. Clare’s convent came together this year for the first Centennial Garden, which generated about 2,700 pounds of produce for local food banks. Rose Aleman, the director of the Centennial Garden, said they decided in spring to make the community garden. One of the Franciscan sisters at St. Clare grew up on a farm and brought her expertise to the project said Aleman. With the soil currently being readied for winter crops, Aleman called their first try at the garden this summer “a big year for learning.” Alan Forbes and his wife, Patricia, of Hartwell were among the volunteers. They already had a tomato garden at home and found a way to expand it with the Centennial Garden, Alan said. “Anybody could grow something in that land, it was great,” he said. The Forbes’ planted beans, corns, squash and also melons. Forbes said that everything grew to huge sizes and that they will probably plant less next year because of the unexpectedly high yields. Recruiting 22 volunteers from the community, Aleman said the convent charged nothing for a plot or water. However, next year that will probably change. Aleman said next year they already have more interest from the community and plan to charge $25 for a personal plot or require five hours of working the

community garden,” Aleman said. She explained how the act of caring for the crops brings a fuller appreciation of what goes into produce and creates respect for the community and the Earth. “It was a great year for growing,” she said.
Forbes a donated about a third of his produce to the convent and another third to friends and family. “In hard times, it’s sort of a victory garden and helping each other and supporting each other when the price of groceries is huge,” he said. A bulk of the food was donated to St. John’s Social Service, Aleman said, with more food going to Valley Interfaith Food and Clothing along with Manna Outreach in Price Hill. “They were always very appreciative. Even when we brought them eggplant, they found a place for it to go,” Aleman said about one of the less desired foods they donated. Aleman said that they are working more closely with the food banks to see what they need for next year. With five acres of land available, Aleman said it was just a matter of plowing what they need.
Princeton school board welcomes new treasurer By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
The Princeton Board of Education welcomed a new treasurer during its monthly meeting while thanking its interim chief financial offi- Rowan cer, who will return to his position as assistant treasurer. Jim Rowan starts his job Monday, Jan. 18, with Jeremy Hittle returning as assistant. Hittle filled in as the district treasurer after the resignation of Tracy Jarvis as chief
financial officer. Rowan has served as treasurer and chief financial officer at three other Ohio school districts, including Fairfield. He also worked as an auditor at the state auditor’s office in Columbus. He is a U.S. Navy veteran and has served as past president of the state and national chapters of the School Business Association. “We appreciate Jeremy Hittle stepping in as interim,” school board President Lillian Hawkins said. Also during the meeting, the board approved up to $1,000 in funds for four students to travel to Washington, D.C., in
the spring for the Academic World Quest. Four seniors - Francesco De Salvatore, Natasha Mehta, Olivia Weir and Andrew Gase – represented Princeton at the regional Academic WorldQuest competition at Summit Country Day. The team was assembled by social studies teacher Jim O’Connor. WorldQuest, which has taken place annually since 2003, is sponsored by the World Affairs Councils of America. That council is a non-profit, nonpartisan international affairs organization that includes more than 500,000 members and participants in 39 states. Kevin Cross, director of buildings and
grounds for the district also presented a report on repairs needed and made to Princeton Community Middle School. Cross said that on Dec. 31, the HVAC froze and when employees tried to fix it, “it was rusted out.” “The unit can’t be repaired,” Cross said. He said a second unit needed repairs. “We don’t know how long it will last,” Cross said, “but right now it’s working.” The cost to replace a unit is about $4,000, if Princeton crews contribute the labor. Superintendent Gary Pack said that cost would double if outside labor were required.
Company pays $38K to violations of hazardous waste laws Ohio EPA and TSS Aviation (TSS), also known as Standard Aero, have agreed to settle numerous ongoing hazardous waste violations at the company’s 11550
Mosteller Road location. TSS agreed to pay $38,300 and continue to adhere to Ohio’s hazardous waste laws following two inspections which detailed numer-
ous hazardous waste violations. TSS inspects, repairs, replaces and X-rays aircraft parts. As part of its business,
the company generates hazardous materials that cannot be reused. Ohio law requires that this hazardous waste is removed from the site where it is generated within 90 days. The company also must properly manifest the waste that is shipped off site. This ensures potentially dangerous chemicals are properly disposed in an environmentally safe manner. On Feb. 27, 2007, Ohio EPA inspected the facility and found TSS improperly stored hazardous waste in tanks that did not meet the requirements for hazardous waste storage. The facility also failed to: • label satellite accumulation area containers with the words “hazardous waste;” • label hazardous waste
containers; • date containers in hazardous waste storage areas; • keep hazardous waste containers closed except when adding to or removing waste; • conduct and/or record weekly inspections of hazardous waste storage area; and • meet requirements of the contingency plan. Although the company came into compliance on July 2, 2007, a June 24, 2008, inspection found the company stored hazardous waste without a permit and exceeded the 55-gallon limit per waste stream for a satellite accumulation area. The company also had many of the same violations it had in February 2007. In addition to those listed above, TSS failed to:
• evaluate wastes to determine if they were hazardous; • transport hazardous waste on a hazardous waste manifest; and • update the contingency plan with current emergency coordinators. TSS was coming into compliance with a number of issues when on Aug. 19, 2008, the company violated hazardous waste laws by failing to properly complete hazardous waste manifests. The company returned to compliance with all Ohio hazardous waste laws on July 17, 2009. Of the $38,300 civil penalty, $7,660 will go to Ohio EPA’s Clean Diesel School Bus Program fund. The remaining $30,640 will be deposited into Ohio EPA’s hazardous waste cleanup fund.

Princeton High School presented Memories of Elvis in Concert, a Pasta for Pennies performance to help raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The Jan. 16 concert, led by Don Freeman as the King, replicated an Elvis performance from the 1970s. The student cast included a back-up band as well as an 18-piece strings and horn section, and nine singers.

Wyoming students bridge language barrier during visit with Ukrainians By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
When a group of Wyoming students spent time recently with visitors from the Ukraine, they found that the language barrier didn’t create a communication gap. The Sister City project is a partnership between Cincinnati and the Ukraine in which a delegation visited the United States to learn about the city’s culture. This year, a youth component was added, and Wyoming High School students participated. Activities included a visit to Over-the-Rhine, where the six visitors, along with Wyoming students, distributed clothing and other products to homeless Cincinnatians. “They told us they don’t have a lot of volunteering in their country,” Wyoming senior Meera Basu said of community service activity. “They were amazed that students go out and do this.” Though they spoke different languages, Julia Carleton, a junior at Wyoming High School, said they were able to communicate. “We didn’t necessarily have to use words,” she said. “We used a lot of gestures.” The work she put into communicating had an unexpected benefit. “I was putting so much effort into communicating with (the delegate) that I talked to the homeless people more than I usually do,” Carleton said. The group found another cultural divide when they visited the Drop Inn Center in Over-the-Rhine.
“They left us with a thirst to find out about their country.”
Chris Adamson
“They said they had just one shelter,” said Chris Adamson, who along with her husband Wes Adamson led the group of teen volunteers. “It was very limited.” A visit to Visionaries and Voices in Northside to a film presentation created by disabled artists, led to discussion of other disadvantaged citizens. “They said that people with disabilities are hidden,” Carleton said. “They’re put in institutions, and they don’t interact with them. “I feel lucky that I’m informed about things,” she said. “How can you act on something if you don’t know what those things are?” Becca Lampe, a junior at Wyoming High School, agreed. “We recognize the problems and can learn how to deal with them,” she said. Chris Adamson said the experience made the world a little smaller. “They left us with a thirst to find out about their country,” she said. “The goal of the program is to be ongoing,” Chris Adamson said of the cultural exchange. The hope for next year is to have Ukrainian youth join the delegation, or to have Cincinnati youth visit their country. “We were able to see how much we are alike,” Wes Adamson said. “We all need the same things: food, clothing and shelter.”

His presentation follows the English version each day, but Galan said he adds details and perspective he feels would benefit the Latino community at Princeton.

The Wyoming High School swim boys’ team recently had its best finish at the Southwest Classic, finishing in third place, while the girls’ team had one of its top showings, finishing 11th. “Things are going well, we’re getting some great swims from kids right now,” said head coach Dave Elliott. Jonathan Profitt and Celia Oberholzer both won individual races at the Classic and the boys won two relays. “It’s a long season that has gone by fast and the kids are tired, but everyone is pretty upbeat,” Elliott said. Elliott said the team still has a lot of work to do in order to achieve the goals they set for the season. “The boys set their goal at winning state and that’s still an achievable goal,” he said. “You need to swim out of your mind up there to win state, but it’s possible. For the girls, a top-10 finish or even a top-5 finish at state would be great.” If there’s one thing the team has in its favor, it’s depth, especially when it comes to the boys’ team. The boys are led by Profitt, Michael Murphy, Zach Fischer, A.J. Burt, Owen Dunbar, Pat Dierker and Eric Lethhander. The girls are led by Oberholzer, Claire Gilbert, Rachel Theiler, Laura Henkel, Mariah Akinbi, Sarah and Abby Gibbons, Ellie LeBuhn and Molly Holthus. Elliott thinks both teams are capable of winning district titles and said the level of competition on the schedule this season has helped

This team has put in a tremendous amount of hard work to show that.” Elliott also said the leadership on the team this year is the best he’s seen in his time as a head coach. “Everyone has bought in to what it takes and everyone is responding well to

Follow the leader
Wyoming High School’s Neal Williams takes down a Wilmington wrestler en route to pinning him during the Wyoming tri-meet Jan. 19 at Wyoming. Williams is the all-time wins leader in Wyoming wrestling history with 126 wins.
The Princeton High School wrestling team has been impressive on the mats this season, as nearly a dozen wrestlers boast winning records. The Vikings opened the season with a tri-match against Lakota East and Ryle Dec. 4. Princeton went 1-1 on the day. “We beat a tough Lakota East team that just beat Harrison,” Princeton High School head coach Ty Robbins said. “And Ryle is a team that’s going for a state title in Kentucky.” The Vikings then participated in the Southwest Ohio Wrestling Coaches Association Glenn Sample Classic, which was Dec. 19-20 at Harrison High School. Princeton, which finished second at the Classic in 2008, placed seventh out of 35 teams. Robbins said his team was deeply impacted by the death of Princeton student Ryan Sawyer, who passed away days before the tournament. “(Sawyer) had a lot of friends on the wrestling team,” Robbins said. One of those friends was Charles Mason (160), who was seeded No. 1 in his
weight class but finished fourth overall. “He really struggled with (Sawyer’s passing),” said Robbins, who was pleased with his team’s performance given the circumstances. Princeton fared much better at the Greater Miami Valley Wrestling Association Tournament, which was Dec. 29-30 in Dayton. The Vikings finished second among 48 teams, as Division-II power St. Paris Graham finished first. Princeton then downed Glen Este and lost to Elder, which is ranked No. 1 in the city, in a tri-match Jan. 9. The Vikings also participated – albeit undermanned – in the Lakota West Duals Jan. 16. Princeton was without five starters, three of whom were ill. The other two were not permitted to wrestle after missing practice. “If you miss practice, you don’t wrestle,” Robbins said. “We were hanging with Mason, (which is ranked third in the city), until we got to the part of out lineup that didn’t have much varsity experience.” Still, Robbins is optimistic about the rest of the season. In the last two weeks, his wrestlers have faced three of the eight
teams that appeared in the Ohio State Duals Jan. 10 and defeated one of them (Springboro). The team travels to Michigan for the Holt Invitational Jan. 23 before participating in the Milford Invitational Jan. 29-30. Princeton is led by Terry Norton (285) and DeAuntay Francis (152), each of whom has 13 wins. Jeremy Stepp (189) and the aforementioned Mason each has 12 wins, while Jeryd Wilder (140) has 10. Corey Selmon (112) and Darelle Pressley (171) aren’t far behind with nine each, while Darian Nelson (130) has eight. James Hundley (135) has six, while Kendall Sorrells (119) and Robert Bouldin (145) have five and four, respectively. “The Princeton kids are very exciting to watch,” Robbins said. “They’ve made a lot of sacrifices with eating (habits) and going to practices and giving up weekend (activities).” Princeton is also gearing up for the Greater Miami Conference Tournament, which will be at Oak Hills in mid-February. “I just want everybody healthy and pursuing a state title,” Robbins said.

Proposed phone legislation will harm consumers
In 2010, the legislature will consider bills that allows telephone companies to raise rates and significantly reduce consumer protections. In today’s tough economic times, the last thing consumers in the Cincinnati area need is higher bills. Lawmakers should strengthen Amended Substitute Senate Bill 162 and Amended House Bill 276 to protect their constituents. With more than 50 other consumer, senior and low-income groups, the Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel (OCC) asked lawmakers to protect Ohioans from potential rate increases. Both bills allow telephone companies to raise by $1.25 their monthly rates for basic local telephone service once every year, indefinitely. In some areas of the state, there is no cell service or broadband, and only one provider
of landline telephone service. Customers with basic service will still receive some consumer prot e c t i o n s although less Janine then those curMigden- rently in place.

Princeton schools is placing a bond issue on the May 4 ballot to pay for a new high school and middle school. What questions or concerns do you have about the bond issue? How do you think you might vote? No responses. Will you still watch “American Idol” after Simon Cowell leaves? “I did not watch it before he left. Why would I start now?” F.S.D. “Of course. I watch for the (wacky!) contestants, not Simon. I usually don’t watch until the end of the season, when there are about eight contestants left who actually are talented, but I have caught a couple episodes already this season ... and boy is that funny! “Contrary to what Simon might think, his departure won’t be that devastating of a blow. It’ll be good with or without him. It’ll still be fun and entertaining ... and America will still have the (ultimate) vote at the finale, which is what matters on this show. “Pants on the ground ...” Joy K. “Yes, as long as Ellen stays!” N.H. “Yes, because it’s about the participants, not the judges. If you’ve watched the preliminary auditions, they’ve had various guest judges. “Simon has softened since he began. I think he’s become more human and is not as harsh or mean. It’s more interesting to have different judges than the same three all the time.” R.L.H. “I never could watch ‘American Idol’ in the first place. All it ever represented to me was the continued commoditization of what should be considered an art form. “It churns out a bunch of indistinguishable shapeshifters who perform songs the record company already owns so it won’t have to pay the performer royalties, but can still pay themselves an exorbitant amount of money in return. Which leaves the true originals and innovators out in the dust to fend for themselves.” N.A.B.

What have been the biggest accomplishments and biggest failures during the first year of the Obama Administration? “I am not one to start harping on the negatives right from the bat ... the big but ... the way the healthcare reform has been handled late night and behind closed doors with bribes written into the program to get the ones dragging their feet to come along in a word: disgusting! He promised to be a ‘leader,’ then dumps the problem on Congress and now this is the only thread of news I constantly read up on and try to stay current. It is like a soap opera. “Also, this does not address the problem of the millions without medical insurance. Just like auto insurance when it went into law – there are people on the roads today taking the risk. Just because they say we have to have medical insurance does not mean that the people can afford it. Also, this does not address the fact that there is almost monopolies of insurance companies that control big sections of the country's healthcare. They say you can ‘buy anywhere,’ but when the only one offering is subsidiary of just a very small few big medical insurance companies then – that is no choice at all! This is a sure fire bet on getting costs of medical care even higher than it is today.” L.A.
have needed access to the outside world and 9-1-1 emergency services. For example, under the proposed legislation, telephone companies would no longer be required to provide 9-1-1 access to Ohioans who purchased a bundle of telephone services, but were disconnected for non-payment. Furthermore, telephone companies are currently required to fix outages within 24 hours. The legislation, however, would allow telephone companies to take 72 hours to restore an outage for customers with basic service. And for the majority of customers – those with bundles of telephone services – a required time period by which service must be restored is eliminated altogether. These changes could put customers’ health and safety at risk. In addition, customers with packages or bundles of telephone
services will lose: • Protections on bill credits for service outages; • Limitations on the amount of deposits that could be required for establishing or reconnecting telephone services; and • Protections involving the disconnection and reconnection of service, among other consumer safeguards. This legislation impacts Ohio’s low-income consumers by reducing the effectiveness of the Lifeline program. It allows Lifeline customers’ rates to increase every year, significantly reducing the overall benefit of the program, creating greater stress for Ohio’s most vulnerable citizens, including many in the Cincinnati area. If legislators are going to allow deregulation, the companies’ customers – not just their shareholders – should benefit. An expanded
VOICES FROM THE WEB Help in Haiti Visitors to Cincinnati.com/ Sharonville posted these comments to a story about Sharonville United Methodist Church member who were in Haiti when the earthquake struck the country earlier this month: “There is a need to help and also a need to observe and report. You can’t do both.” queenamidala “This is a terrible tragedy. The pictures showing the devastation are horrendous, but even more horrendous is the news reporting. One reporter in particular was standing in front of an orphanage that badly needed formula and food yet nobody had yet arrived. He made more than one trip, all the while harranging that the United Nations and U.S. military knew where the orphanage was, yet had provided no assistance. Did the thought even occur to him to load up his vehicle with supplies during his numerous trips to the same orphanage? No. Their answer is they are there to observe and report. What ever happened to help your fellow man when you see suffering and there is something you can do? This man is a sorry example of humanity that he would continue to visit the same orphanage and come emptyhanded. Kudos to Dr. Gupta of
CNN for pitching in to help care for the injured. Too bad there are so few reporters and ‘experts’ like him in the business.” piercesenior

I’m sure someone will say that this will bring ‘green jobs,’ but it’s a pebble of sand on a beach. Targeting a special interest group won’t grow the economy in any meaningful way. We need legislators who will deal with real issues.” MiddleClassGuy1 “Thank you, Representative Pillich, for making a difference in our capitol and helping to watch out for both Ohio’s economy and the environment.” proudredsfan

Habla Español Visitors to Cincinnati.com/ Sharonville posted these comments to a story about a Princeton High School student who does the daily announcements in Spanish: “Kudos to this young man. It is refreshing to see youth volunteer to help bridge gaps that occur when kids don’t understand one another. Speech is different, as are customs and sometimes that can cause differences of opinion. Good work, Juan.” grandmasunshine “’And we have to be able to effectively communicate what we expect from out kids,’ Sprankles said. “What a disgrace.What we should be expecting from kids is that they speak English.” AListZ
Pretrial diversion of charges Pretrial Diversion is a program established by the prosecuting attorney and available in Hamilton County. Pretrial Diversion is for adults who are accused of committing certain criminal offenses and whom the prosecutor believes probably will not offend again. To participate in the diversion program you must be a first-time offender charged with a non-violent offense, and admit that the facts against you are true. The most common criminal offenses that are diversion eligible are theft, criminal damaging and underage drinking. Both misdemeanor and felony offenses are eligible as long as the amount of restitution owed is no more than $4,500. It takes five to six weeks to determine acceptance into the diversion program. If the arresting officer or prosecuting witness objects you may not be accepted into the program. If accepted into diversion, you have to pay a program fee of $200 for misdemeanor cases and $350 for felony cases. First, you must enter a guilty plea before a
judge to each charge against you. The guilty finding normally made by the judge is held in abeyance pending completion of the diversion Judge Brad program. To successfulGreenberg ly complete Community diversion, you Press guest must stay out of columnist trouble for the diversion period, usually between three months and three years. You also must fulfill all requirements set by the prosecutor’s office. These may include: restitution to the victim, performing community service, obtaining a G.E.D., and receiving any counseling deemed necessary. If you fail to fulfill any of the requirements, you may be terminated from the diversion program. You then will be found guilty of each charge and sentenced by the judge accordingly. If you successfully complete the diversion program, the charge will be dismissed and your record

Hat Day Students at Evendale Elementary wanted to do something to help the massive rescue relief going on in Haiti due to the recent earthquake. The students paid a minimum of 25 cents to wear a hat of their choice. All the proceeds, $440.34, were donated to the American Red Cross.

Hundreds of volunteers are showing up daily at Matthew 25: Ministries in Blue Ash to deliver, receive, sort and pack needed supplies for the Haiti earthquake relief efforts. “Well over 100 volunteers,” answered Tim Mettey, vice president of Matthew 25: Ministries, when asked about how many volunteers were coming each day to help. “…and it’ll be more than 200 on Saturday (Jan. 16).” Teenage students from Loveland, CHCA, Lakota and Edgewood schools were among the members of the Northeast Church of Christ youth group that showed up to volunteer Friday afternoon. Patrick Williams, youth minister from the church, said some of the teens were off school because they just finished exams. “We have a connection with Haiti,” Williams said. “Our church actually sponsors children in Haiti for their education and food.” Originally the youth group had planned a fun day of play together. The earthquake inspired them to change their plan. “When they heard about the earthquake they said ‘Can we do something to help?’ he said. “I said sure. We’ve been to Matthew 25 before. We know they do good work. We thought we’d come over and try to help with some of
More about Matthew 25: Ministries at: www.m25m.org their sorting.” The church helps sponsor several schools there. They pay for education and food for children in Haiti through a program called Hope for Haiti’s Children. Williams said they have leaders on the ground in Haiti. They have received emails from their people on the ground in Haiti describing the chaos and devastating damage. “They’re giving whatever little amount of help they can,” Williams said. “Hospitals are closed, hotels are not safe, structures are collapsed and a lot of people are out on the street.” They are getting e-mail updates everyday and learned at least one child they sponsored died and many are injured. Williams also offered hope in noting several of the children are okay too. Like the church, Matthew 25: Ministries already had a strong connection to Haiti. The Blue Ash based ministry ships an average of four containers of supplies to the poverty-stricken country every month according to Joodi Archer, PR and development director for M25M. They found hope in learning some supplies they sent before the quake hit
survived. “First we heard the warehouse was destroyed,” Mettey said. “Then we learned a warehouse storing those supplies in Haiti was not destroyed. Those supplies are being used in relief efforts right now.” They know nearly 50,000 people are dead and 3 million people are homeless. They know shipments made in October, November and December are not damaged. It includes clothing and medical supplies. “We know at the moment the country is pretty much completely shut down,” Archer said. “Their entire infrastructure is destroyed, hospitals collapsed, government is struggling, orphanages, schools everything is gone.” Despite the ministry’s partnerships and experience getting supplies into Haiti, they face a difficult challenge getting relief supplies in right now. “The cranes are in the bay,” she said. “At this moment in time, it’s challenging to get anything into the country. Even if you can get it in, there’s no place for it to go from there.” Archer said they shipped some products at the end of December which may be ready to go into port the minute it is open. “We are staged and ready,” Archer said. “As soon as we are given word from our Haitian partners the cranes are functioning, then we have between 16 and 20 forty foot containers
of products earmarked and prepared for shipments. We could load them up and get them out in just a couple days.” For now they’re busy unloading car trunks, truck beds and vans as a steady stream drives in to drop off donations. Staff and volunteers from all around the city receive, sort and pack products they know are needed to help Haitians begin to recover. “We have distribution networks already in place,” Archer said. “We were on the phone with our partners instantly. We were able to say ‘What do you need?’ and then begin assembling products we know are going to be needed,” she said. A lot of times people have enormous hearts, just want to do something, but don’t know the process. Archer explained a little about how the first response is about saving lives and medical supplies and water; while the second response moves toward sustaining life with clothing and food and the longer term response becomes recovery and rebuilding. “This isn’t going to be over in two weeks,” she said. “This will go on for months; even years. We know what happens in a disaster. We know the challenges and the kind of products they need right now; a year from now and we can prepare for that,” said Archer.

an impossible order for another human being! How difficult it is for us to realize that whomever we draw close to is just another human like us. In fact, they are also projecting and looking for their Magical Other – whom, by the way, they think might be you. Partners certainly can ask each other for love, support, understanding and forgiveness. But he or she is not my rescuer, nor my enemy, but my partner. In one way, it’s a step forward to realize, “You’re not the person I married.” The one we married was originally an impressionistic painting. He or she was painted with tones of infatuation, illusion, desire and a touch of naiveté. Hopefully much of that has washed off. Now it’s time to say, “I don’t see you any longer as my mother or father, or as my Magical Other to rescue me from the challenges of life, or the one to serve me as I was taken care of as a child.

develop true love. Another tendency that prompts the complaint, Father Lou “ Y o u ’ r e the Guntzelman not person I Perspectives married,” is the old illusion of the Magical Other. We are haunted in adulthood by the cozy nostalgia of infancy and childhood. So we continue to unconsciously look for a special person (termed the Magical Other) who will treat us with the positive parental care of earlier times. We look for someone who will give us whatever we need or want, who will erase loneliness, make us the center of their life, tend to our pleasure, take away our fears, handle our responsibilities, and keep threatening ghosts out of our room. What a tall order! What

Eventually, one spouse may lament to the other, “You’re not the person I married.” Actually, they never were. They were always somebody else, a stranger barely known years ago and known only a little better now. Some reasons for our partial knowledge of another person is the depth of their person and the psychological mysteries he or she carries there. Add to that the habits developed over years and our limited understanding and insights, and one can see why our conclusions of knowing another are vast understatements. Besides, when we’re young and the other person is popular, has a beautiful body, or an abundance of money – who cares about knowing them? There are other human tendencies that can obscure our knowing a person, even someone as close as a spouse. One tendency is that of projection. We project onto other persons faults or qualities we expect or think we see in them. (A bride believes she sees in her husband some of her father’s characteristics, and a groom thinks he sees in his bride characteristics of his mother.) Like a movie projector casts images on a screen some distance away, so we cast (project) suspected qualities or faults onto other people. Then we claim we know them. Actually, we may have placed in them some of the alleged characteristics we claim we see. Living together on a daily basis ever so gradually wears away these projections. The loss of our projections leaves our partner as she, or he, actually is. Where we wanted agreement, we may be called upon to accept differences; where we imagined we’d find the other half that makes us whole, we must now recognize that there is rather a whole person other than me. And I must learn the difficult task of loving otherness. We can never love our partner’s otherness unless we have a good sense of what it is to be that person. After all, that’s the essence of growing through relationships, isn’t it? Joining my life with someone else’s is not just expecting more of me, but learning to care about, communicate with, and compromise with someone who is other than me. That’s the work of relationships that produce mature people and

For Tom Ohmer • Withrow’s cafeteria dinner rolls.
Hughes began working at Gate of Heaven Cemetery as a laborer in 1967. He was named grounds superintendent in 2000. In that post, Hughes “ran day-to-day operations – overseeing burials, repairs and teaching crews the right way and wrong way to do day-to-day operations,” he said. Gate of Heaven Cemetery grew in size from about 300 acres to about 500 acres during Hughes’ tenure. Different kinds of grave markers, vases and flowers waxed and waned in popularity, he said. One thing that didn’t change was what fueled Hughes’ job satisfaction. “The most enjoyable part was meeting and helping people,” Hughes said. Now 65, Hughes looks back with approval on his career, from its modest beginning to the honor of winning the top post, where he supervised 11 employees. “You have to take pride in your job no matter what you do” Hughes said. “Yes, I very proud of our grounds.” So why did he decide to retire at the end of last year? “To spend more time with my lovely wife and kids,” Hughes said. “I have seven grandchildren and a new grandchild just six months old. A new joy! “Also,” Hughes added, “I’m getting old!” Gate of Heaven Cemetery will sponsor a reception for Hughes from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 30, in the lobby of the Gate of Heaven Cemetery office off Montgomery Road.

Film festival features award-winning movies Movie buffs and cultural arts enthusiasts will be able to see six award-winning and critically acclaimed films at the 2010 Cincinnati Jewish and Israeli Film Festival. The festival will be at the Mayerson JCC (8485 Ridge Road, next to Ronald Reagan Highway, in Amberley Village). The festival runs Saturday evening, Jan. 30 through Thursday, Feb. 4. Opening Night starts at 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 30, with the acclaimed film, “A Matter of Size.” This film was nominated for 14 Israeli Academy “Ofir” awards in 2009 and recently premiered at the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, the first and largest Jewish film festival in the world. This light-hearted comedy is about a group of overweight friends who give up dieting and learn to accept themselves by becoming Sumo wrestlers. This showing will be followed by a chocolate dessert reception, included in the price for the opening night. “Four Seasons Lodge,” a documentary of Holocaust survivors who come together each summer to dance, cook, fight, flirt and celebrate their survival, will be shown at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 31, as a matinee, and again at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4. This film has been featured at several film festivals across the country and won the Audience Award at the Miami Jewish Film Festival in 2009. Washington Times’ writer, Christian Toto, said, “This film packs more wisdom than the best therapy session.” Ella Taylor of The New York Times said, “the film was gorgeously photographed...the awesome spectacle of life triumphing over annihilation.”
January 27, 2010
On Sunday evening, Jan. 31, audiences will enjoy the two-time award-winning film, “Noodle,” at 7 p.m. This comedic-drama tells the story of a woman whose life is turned upside down when she tries to help an abandoned boy reunite with his mother. Renowned film journalist, Andrew L. Urban, said, “This is the kind of film that reinforces all the good things about human nature.” “Love and Dance” will be shown at the JCC at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 1, and also as a matinee at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 3. This movie (suitable for adults and kids, ages 12 and older) features a young boy who manages to bridge his family’s cultural differences through ballroom dancing classes and love. “Love and Dance” was nominated for several awards at the Moscow International Film Festival. Critics at the Seattle Jewish Film Festival cited this coming-of-age story as “Irresistible! Israel’s answer to Billy Elliot and Mad Hot Ballroom.” “Saviors in the Night,” a powerful World War II drama, shows at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 2. This film premiered in the U.S. for the first time at the 2009 New York Jewish Film Festival, and premiered internationally at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland. Based on the memoir of Holocaust survivor, Marga Spiegel, this film portrays how courageous German farmers risked their lives to hide a Jewish family. Locarno International Film Festival critics noted, “This is a remarkable real-life story of German farmers who helped hide Jewish friends from the Nazis.” The five-time award winning movie “Bitter-
sweet” takes a contemporary look at modern day life in Tel Aviv, and will be shown at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 3. This movie focuses on various life issues of a closeknit group of young and middle-aged adult friends, such as marriage, children, sexuality, and assisting aging parents. “When someone takes the time to put on these films in a communal setting, where people see the films together, they can discuss them, and think through the ideas presented – that makes all the difference,” said Larry Thomas, WVXUFM (NPR/Cincinnati) film critic. The cost of admission for the Opening Night showing of “A Matter of Size,” which includes the dessert reception, is $18 per person. Tickets for each matinee or evening film shown Jan. 31 through Feb. 4 are $10 per person, or $7 each for a senior adult (age 60+) or a student. A Festival Pass, good for all 6 movies and 1 free meal at the on-site J Café at the Mayerson JCC, may be purchased in advance for $50 (or $35 for a senior adult, age 60 and over, or a student). Films will be shown in the Amberley Room at the JCC, with graduated stadium-style seating for unobstructed viewing. Movie previews, reviews, and online Tickets may also be purchased by calling the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati at 985-1500. The 2010 Cincinnati Jewish and Israeli Film Festival is presented by the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati, the Mayerson JCC, and the LKC Foundation in collaboration with The Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education, Cedar Village, Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati.

Quilting expert’s motto: Bee all you can bee Well, I was finally able to nail an interview with Grace Glover, who covers this valley like a blanket – or should I say quilt? We’ll get to the quilting in a minute. Grace is a lifelong Episcopalian from St. Simon in Lincoln Heights where she was reared. She now lives in Pleasant Run, but she can’t seem to get away from her valley roots. She was a bus driver for 13 years for the Princeton City Schools, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Her special memories are of seeing the little kindergarteners’ faces the first time they rode her school bus. The high school kids were nice too. It was really something to drive the offspring of people with whom she had attended school. Grace is retired from 20 years at the U.S. Post Office. She was a carrier in Springdale, Greenhills and Forest Park. She also worked at the Tri-County Shillito’s department store in the cashier’s office. Grace volunteered at the front desk of the Springdale Recreation Center after Maple Knoll closed their senior center. She spent several years teaching the seniors at Maple Knoll to use computers, after learning her computer skills through a program at the

post office. She became so proficient, that when she attended classes at Maple Knoll, became Evelyn she the teacher’s Perkins assistant for Community four years. Now to Press the quilting. columnist G r a c e learned to appliqué from her husband’s grandmother, Mrs. Jimmie Mae Oliver, who lived in Glendale. After mastering this craft, Grace used to sit on the school bus between runs and work on her appliqué. From there she went into full-blown quilting with the sewing club at St. Simon. During a presentation at Quinn Chapel, she demonstrated how to stack-nwhack. Now let me see if I have this right: stack-nwhack is when you cut a pattern of six pieces of fabric a certain way, and it comes out differently in each square. This creates designs that don’t look the same even though the squares were cut out of the same material. At least that’s how I understood it when Grace explained. Anyway, it creates a fascinating kaleidoscope effect.

Grace Glover with one of the beautiful quilts made by her sewing club. These beautiful quilts go to nursing homes, prenatal units and other organizations all over the city. Another of her volunteer efforts is with the combined feeding program of Ascension and Holy Trinity Church in Wyoming and St. Simon for the surrounding communities. All are welcome to enjoy supper, and some parishioners even take meals to senior facilities in Springdale and College Hill. If you know of someone that could benefit, please send him or her to St. Simon (810 Matthews Drive) on the second Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. Grace’s membership in
Episcopal Churchwomen means she is involved with their many outreach programs. Always busy, she also owns a cleaning business. Her latest volunteer effort concerns Vegas Night 2010 at the Hartwell Recreation Center 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 13. People attend from all over the city, and she hopes there will be a big crowd to enjoy the evening. Call 772-4828 for tickets.

Gorman Heritage Farm is accepting donations for a rummage sale, to be held Feb. 27. Proceeds from the sale will be used to purchase a new hay rake for more harvesting of the farm’s alfalfa and grass hay crops. Everyday items, such as kitchen gadgets, toys, sporting goods, tools and the like will be accepted. The farm’s new pavilion, donated by the Dan Beard Council, will also permit the donation of furniture items. Indoor space considerations do not allow the farm to accept gifts of clothing or linens. Gorman Heritage Farm is a 501 (c) 3 non profit organization, and all contributions are tax deductible. Donors of large items may contact the farm at 5636663 for pickup. Donations will be accepted at the farm beginning Feb. 15. The sale will run from 9
am to 3 pm on Saturday, Feb. 27. Parking and admission to the sale are free, and the farm will give buyers a free farm admission coupon with every $5 purchase. The sale not only benefits the farm, but the environment as well. “This is recycling at its most basic – putting old items to new use, rather than throwing them into a landfill. We’re very pleased at how well the sale went last year, and are hoping for a great turnout this year as well,” events manager Vicki Foster said. Gorman Heritage Farm is a 120-acre working farm and outdoor education center, which invites its visitors to explore and learn the history, methods and values of a working family farm in a natural setting. For additional information on these events, call Vicki Foster at 513-5636663, or visit on the Web at www.gormanfarm.org.
There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.

Protect against frozen pipes, keep bursts at bay Tis’ the season of snow and ice, frigid temperatures and the potential for frozen pipes. To help protect residents and business owners from the expense and headache of dealing with frozen pipes, the Greater Cincinnati Water Works has a few tips to help keep the bursts at bay: • Seal cracks: caulk around door frames and windows to reduce incoming cold air. Winter winds whistling through overlooked openings can quickly freeze exposed water pipes. Open cupboard doors in the kitchen and bathrooms: Water lines supplying these rooms are frequently on outside walls. Leaving the doors open when the temperature is below freezing allows them to get more heat. • Let faucets drip in below-freezing weather: This will help keep an even flow of water moving through your internal
plumbing system and prevent freezing. • Protect outdoor pipes and faucets: In some homes, the outside faucet has its own shut-off in the basement in addition to the shut-off valve for the entire house. If you have a separate valve for outside faucets, close the valve, remove hoses and drain the faucet. If you don't have a separate valve, wrap the outside faucets (hose bibs) in newspapers or rags covered with plastic. • Insulate indoor pipes or faucets in unheated areas: pipes in internal unheated areas such as the garage or crawl space under the house should be wrapped with insulated foam to prevent freezing. Wrap the entire length of the exposed pipe and cover all valves and pipe fittings. For more information, residents and business owners can contact GCWW’s customer service division at 513-591-7700.
ODOT road crews prepared for whatever winter brings The winter-fighting road crews from the Ohio Department of Transportation are on the move again. ODOT has more than 1,700 plow trucks and more than 3,000 drivers ready to clear ice and snow. ODOT maintains nearly 39,000 lane miles of highway which carries approximately two thirds of the state’s daily traffic. ODOT’s Smart Salt Strategy aims to keep highways safe and passable by using the right amounts of salt and manpower at the right times and locations. This time of year, one Smart Salt Strategy is the application of a saline solution (brine) to road pavements before the occurrence of a winter event. This prevents the formation of frost, black ice, or a freeze bond of snow and ice to the surface. Pre-wetting salt with this same solution before application also helps the rock salt stick to the surface and jumpstarts the melting process. Also, infrared temperature sensors installed on ODOT snow plows allow drivers to see the exact surface temperature of the roadways they are driving on, so they apply salt brine only where needed on bridge decks, overpasses or roadway sections, especially where black ice might form. During initial winter events, crews will constantly monitor pavement conditions and temperatures and only treat areas that are freezing, instead of the
entire highway route. Staying alert and being a careful and informed driver is the best way motorists can travel safely this winter. ODOT’s best advice: in “Ice and snow ... Take it Slow.” Up-to-the-minute road conditions are always available by logging onto www.buckeyetraffic.org. Last winter, ODOT’s Web site received more than 35 million hits between November and March.
