BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Forum focuses on teens, alcohol Proactive approach as proms near By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
As spring break, prom and graduation plans take shape, Wyoming Youth Services has teamed with the city’s fire department to open dialogue about teens and alcohol. “In recent years, there have been several incidents of serious injuries or deaths from alcohol consumption by underage teens,” Fire Chief Robert Rielage said. “The medical emergencies generated from these incidents have been a great concern to Wyoming Fire – EMS personnel, not only because of the trauma injuries that have occurred,
but also that these young patients have been the sons or daughters of relatives, friends, or neighbors.” Wyoming Fire – EMS is part of an Alcohol Task Force, formed in 2010 in response to the death of Richard Beck, who died in an alcohol-related car accident. Other members of the task force include Wyoming City Schools, Wyoming Youth Services, Wyoming Police Department, Wyoming Parent Student Association and members of the community. “The purpose of the Alcohol Task Force is to raise the awareness in our community of the problem and potential consequences associated with underage drinking,” Rielage said. “This is being accomplished in a three-part approach of parent
education, teen education and increased community involvement.” A meeting will be held March 3 at Ascension and Holy Trinity Church, 334 Burns Ave., and the
task force has encouraged parents and their teens to attend. The forum will include several presenters. Susan Eppley, a clinical psychologist in private practice and Wyoming paramedic, will discuss peer pressure and the psychological consequences when drinking leads to unsafe behavior. Wyoming paramedic Wendy Walters, a registered nurse, has partnered with Krista Jones of Tri-Health Thinkfirst Injury Prevention Program at Bethesda North Hospital. Jones will discuss the signs and symptoms of excessive alcohol consumption, and when teens should call 911 for emergency help. “The goal of this interactive forum was to educate teens and parents how to recognize when
friends need emergency medical assistance while recognizing this activity is taking place illegally,” Rielage said. Kimberly Hauser, executive director of Wyoming Youth Services, is focused on the health and safety of the whole child. “Our position is an abstinence model, but we also need to look at practical safety concerns, when kids make bad decisions,” Hauser said, “and how can their friends recognize the signs to help.” “We don’t want them to make a mistake they can’t ever recover from.” No registration is needed for the March 3 forum, which begins at 3 p.m. at the church. More information is available on the task force’s Facebook page, titled Who-R-You.

Springdale council honors TCP carrier Sensed something wasn’t right at home By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Tim Burdine has been delivering the Tri-County Press for more than seven years. Every week, he and his brother, Ethan, drop off a paper, and as payments were due, customers would leave the money in an envelope for them to collect. On Jan. 5, Tim made his rounds, but as he approached one of the houses on his route, the envelope wasn’t there. The homeowner, Gene O’Bryon, always left his envelope taped to

the door, but not this time. Tim noticed that his mailbox was full, and the previous week’s paper was still on the porch. He went home and told his dad, Michael Burdine, and the pair returned to the house, checking for any activity. There was none, so they checked with O’Bryon’s neighbor, Bert Pierce. Pierce called Springdale Police, and when they entered the home, they found O’Bryon. He’d been dead for about a week, Michael Burdine said. Tim was commended for his initiative at Springdale City Council’s Feb. 6 meeting, where the 15-year-old Princeton High School freshman re-
ceived the Good Citizen Award. His mom, Carolyn Burdine, said it showed her that Tim had listened to her advice, and to his instincts. “I’m impressed,” she said of her son. “You’re happy when you see the benefits of those lessons.” “It’s important to be aware of your surroundings, and to take action when you see that something isn’t right,” Tim’s dad said. “We trust him to make the right decisions when he’s out on his own.” Tim’s glad he took action, so O’Bryon’s family, who live out of town, could have peace of mind. “Listen to your instincts,” Tim said. “It’s worthwhile.”

Glendale Village Council has cleared the way for the construction of a performance pavilion. The structure, to be built on the grounds of the Harry Whiting Brown Community Center, was approved as a conditional use of the land at 34 Village Square. Te resolution passed, 5-1, with Councilman Bill Aronstein voting against the measure. The village’s planning commission had placed the matter before Village Council, with unanimous support. Planning Commission member Scott Thurman described the project, which would provide shelter for performances during summer months, including plays, poetry readings and band performances. The conditional use permit would allow construction of a performance pavilion on the property. Glendale resident Dan Love, who is also a musician, had worked with the commission and HWB on the proposal. “I think it will enhance the quality of life for all of the resi-

dents,” Love said of the pavilion. “We looked at something that would create a city center, and this seemed like a natural, since HWB is doing the programming for (the performances) anyway.” During a public hearing, Glendale resident Tim Kilgore expressed concerns about the project, citing its proximity to residents, as well as the scale of the pavilion. “They’re squeezing too much on the property,” Kilgore said. Aronstein and Councilwoman Debbie Grueninger questioned the location of the structure, citing crowding and train noise. Aronstein asked who would be responsible for maintenance of the site. Love said HWB would be responsible for the maintenance, which would be funded initially through a fundraiser, and later included in the annual HWB budget. The pavilion, Love said, would be named after Peter Gruber, a Glendale resident who was killed in a boating accident several years ago. Mayor Ralph Hoop said that with the construction of a pavilion, events could be held rain or shine.

Police ‘bear’ it for Special Olympics Springdale part of Polar Plunge
By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Courage compels them, and cold doesn’t stop them. The Polar Plunge raises funds for Special Olympics, and the Springdale Police Department jumped into the Jan. 26 event at Caesar Creek State Park. Police Officer Joe Ture joined the plungers, along with retired Police Chief Mike Laage. The Waynesville plunge is one of nine that have been scheduled in Ohio this year, to raise money for Special Olympics Ohio, though the fundraiser is nationwide. Laage said it’s an opportunity for anyone who wants to support the more than 23,000 special athletes in Ohio. “From school groups
to corporate teams, families, and a host of public safety personnel the groups compete against one another to raise funds and dress up in funny costumes all to raise money for our athletes,” said Laage, who is the father of sons with special needs. Laage’s team, the Hamilton County Police Chiefs, is made up of police chiefs, officers, friends and family. “Chief Jim Howarth, Delhi Township Police Department, has been one of the leading fundraisers among all plungers” Laage said. “His commitment is outstanding, and sets an example for all other officers to admire and respect. “This is community policing at the grassroots level,” Laage said. “To help a segment of the population that needs just a little extra help, this is what cops are supposed to do.” Donations to the Spe-

Pillich forms veterans caucus State Rep. Connie Pillich (D-28th District) announced the formation of a Veterans’ Caucus for the 130th General Assembly. The Cincinnati lawmaker invited all members from the House and Senate to join her for an organizational meeting Jan. 23 in the Riffe Center. “It’s so important that we allow enough time to really focus and maximize our efforts on Veterans’ issues through meaningful legislation and advocacy,” Pillich said. “This caucus will allow us to do just that. As I have witnessed during my time in the legislature, sometimes there are competing agendas and differing views on how best to address laws relevant to those with military service. I think this is a good step toward building unity on a multitude of topics.”

Student awards another brick in Bethany foundation Every year, Bethany School recognizes the crème de la crème of its eighth-grade class along with many others from its outstanding student body for their achievements. On Jan. 25, the Bethany gymnasium filled with fourththrough eighthgrade Evelyn students Perkins and their COLUMNIST parents, staff and cameras waiting for the honorees in 15 categories to be announced. These categories cover just every aspect of what Bethany is about, from academics to outreach. Glendale Mayor Ralph Hoop and Village Administrator Loretta Rokey were there to hand out certificates and ribbons, and it was an exciting time. The mayor continues to be impressed by the students’ manners and interactions. He said that education takes place in steps, that success in later education depends upon elementary education and their Bethany education is first class in this process. With only two week’s practice The Bethany Singers really scored big last September when they sang the national anthem at a Cincinnati Reds game. They will do it again April 20. First and second academics honors were awarded. We viewed the “Brick Commercial” written and performed by the students, symbolizing that they, the staff and parents are the important building blocks of
Bethany. Of the thousands of U.S. schools participating in the National Geographic Geography Bee, Bethany had 10 finalists and a medalist.

Aliyah Anderson, Gabe Atkins, Rani Bawa, Charlotte Buisson, Ashley Labrie, Tara Prabhu, Maya Purdie, Cierra Reed and James Walz were all exceptional in their efforts to qualify with a 3.75 GPA or higher, and their humanitarian efforts in the community at large. Head of School Cheryl Pez wrote of their impressive achievements and the hours they contributed to numerous activities. After much consideration, Gabe Atkins became the 2013 nominee. This year 12 Bethany eighth-graders received a phenomenal $693,960 in scholarship offers: » Gabe Atkins: Cincinnati County Day Founders Scholarship; Mt. Notre Dame Merit and SND; Seven Hills School; Summit Country Day Leibold Barrett. » Clyde Bennett: Cincinnati Country Day Founders Scholarship. » Michael Hudson: Cincinnati Country Day Founders Scholarship; Seven Hills School; Summit Country Day Headmaster; St. Xavier HS -St. Francis Xavier Scholarship (top 4 percent on entrance exams). » Ashley Labrie: Seven Hills; Ursuline Academy Admission with Distinction; Cincinnati Country Day Founders

My Artisano Foods offers cheese made on-site By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
My Artisano Foods takes its product from start to finish. The store, which opens in Sharonville Jan. 29, sells LatinAmerican cheeses and foods that accompany them, but that’s only half the story. The cheeses are made onsite, by store owner Eduardo Rodriguez. An agricultural engineer by education, the Blue Ash resident grew up in Venezuela, where he learned the trade. After a career with Procter and Gamble, Rodriguez decided he wanted to pursue his lifelong interest. He also saw a need, as he found it difficult to find LatinAmerican style cheeses in local groceries. “Being here in Cincinnati, I looked around in the markets, and I can’t find the cheese I enjoy down there,” he said. The shop is divided into a retail section, where the cheeses, along with crackers, dried fruits, olives, beans and other accompaniments, will be sold. During lunchtime, he will sell boxed lunches, as well. The other portion of the store is dedicated to making the cheese. Customers can watch through large windows in the retail section. My Artisano Foods will sell some imported cheeses along with Rodriguez’s handmade offerings: » Paisano. This cheese has a mild, fresh milk flavor and chewy texture. It’s good for grilling. » Herb paisano. This version adds flavor to the mild, chewy cheese. » Hand-stretched cheese. This mild cheese is similar to mozzarella, and can be served on tomatoes, sweet corn pancakes, or in grilled sandwiches. » Ricottone. This is similar to ricotta cheese, though a little more salty. It can be used in spreads. » Nata/sour cream cheese. This mild cheese is spreadable, and is thinner than ricot-

tone. It can be used in dips and soups. » Guyana. This cheese is creamy, with a soft texture and mild flavor. Rodriguez also will assemble platters for parties or business meetings or corporate events. “I can help put together a cheese sampler, and advise on wines to serve with them,” he said. Rodriguez will offer samples at the store, so customers can see how the cheeses can be served. Recipes will be available, as well. Photos of the cheeses can be found on the website, www.myartisanfoods.com. The store, at 10965 Reading
Road, will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. Rodriguez can be reached by e-mail at foodies@myartisanofoods.com. Rodriguez said he’s looking forward to the challenge of creating and selling his cheese. “It makes me happy to make the cheese,” he said, “and to see people enjoy it makes me happy, too.” For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/Sharonville.

WYOMING — The term “Cowboy up” has been used in recent years to motivate people to step up their efforts and maximize their potential. That may be a polite way of describing it. From the Wyoming High School gym rafters, there’s nothing polite about the way coach Matt Rooks’ team plays defense on the basketball court. While probably nice young men, the Cowboys guard their opponents as close as a magnet clings to a refrigerator. By doing so, they’re hoping to finish at or above .500 after winning just two games a year ago. “We hang our hat on defense,” Rooks said. “We have to guard people, dictate tempo and pressure people for 32 minutes.” To do so requires tremendous conditioning, both mentally and physically. Wyoming’s new coach emphasizes “playing through” being tired. “We can’t let teams be comfortable,” Rooks said. “We can’t let them run their stuff.” The Cowboys’ top offensive threats are junior Ahmad Frost and senior Ben Kurtz. Together, they combine for about 26 points per game. Kurtz is the lone senior starter and the only other senior is backup forward Dawson Rogers. Everyone else on the team should return. Based on their personnel and how they’ve pressured teams defensively, several Cincinnati Hills League coaches look at Wyoming as a front-runner next season. “A few of them have told me the same thing,” Rooks said. “I do think we have a shot to be pretty good next year. Especially with our league. A lot of teams lose a lot of seniors.” The key may be having a returning backcourt as Rooks starts freshman Mason Rogers alongside veteran scorer Frost. Mason is the younger brother of senior Dawson and sophomore Hudson Rogers. Rooks often thanks their mother for his team depth.

“Mason brings a toughness to us,” Rooks said. “He’s the perfect point guard for us. He’ll guard and he doesn’t care about scoring. He actually helps take the pressure off Ahmad (Frost). Teams are on Ahmad hard.” In the frontcourt, 6-foot-3 Ben Kurtz is the go-to guy and the leading rebounder. He also was an example when Rooks wanted to send a message to the Cowboys. “Madeira beat us bad and that was a turning point for us,” Rooks said. “Frost got hurt and Kurtz wasn’t shooting good shots. He was playing totally for himself. I sat him the whole second half to make a point that if we don’t do it my way or play together, you guys will see what happens. Ever since then, Ben Kurtz has been phenomenal.” It’s a move many coaches wouldn’t make, but something Rooks likely learned as an assistant to Carl Kremer at Moeller. “As soon as you get selfish, you’re not playing,” Rooks reiterated. Ahead, Wyoming (10-8 as of Feb. 8) has a chance at redemption with a home game with Madeira Feb. 15.
‘Big 3’ have Summit primed for postseason By Nick Dudukovich
ndudukovich@communitypress.com
HYDE PARK — Led by senior and UC commit Kevin Johnson, along with Division I college prospects Antonio Woods and MaCio Teague, the Summit Country Day basketball team is rolling through the competition. The Silver Knights own a19-1 record (through Feb. 8) and the No. 1 spot in the Associated Press’ Division III state poll. Johnson and Woods helped drive last year’s squad to the state title. The addition of Teague, may put Summit in the driver’s seat to hoist the trophy for second-straight season. Coach Michael Bradley said Teague, who is a sophomore, offers another option for a team that’s beat opponents by an average of 32 points per game. Rather than focusing on Woods and Johnson, opponents must show respect for Teague’s ability on the wing. “We have another guy capa-
ble of going for 20-plus points any night,” Bradley said. “He’s a great second or third option and in the next couple of years, (MaCio) will obviously be option No. 1.” While Johnson is set to be a Bearcat, Teague, a sophomore, was offered by Seton Hall last summer. Woods, who is a junior, was recently offered by Miami University, and also owns football offers from Northwestern, Kent State and Bowling Green. Each player has 25-point a night scoring potential, but scale their shots back to work witin Summit’s system, according to Bradley. “They are very unselfish kids and they care more about the team than they do themselves, “Bradley said. “It’s very rare in today’s AAU selfish, egodriven world that these kids care more about the team than themselves.” “We don’t have to average 25 points per game, we just have to the team involved. Anyone can

make a shot on any given day,” Woods said. While Johnson, Woods and Teage aren’t leading the MVC’s offensive categories, they’re in the mix of league leaders. Johnson is second in the MVC with 18.3 points, while Teague (14.4) and Woods are right behind him (13.8). Woods is also fourth in assists (3.8), while he and Johnson
combine for more than six steals per contest. Teague, who is a resident of Springdale, joined the Silver Knights after playing last season for IMG Academy in Bradington, Fla. He came to Summit having history with both Woods and Johnson. Teague played against Woods in middle school, and remembered when he was young-
er, moving out of the way before he could get dunked on by Johnson. “I was very excited (to play for Summit). Those are two great guys and Division-I guards, and I’m learning a lot from them,” Teague said. The Knights are a more uptempo team this season after having the luxury of dumping the ball off to departed big man Holden Hertzel during their title run. Without a key post presence, guard and wing play becomes more important, which plays right into the hands of the Big Three. Combined with the experience of varsity returnees, such as Jake Rawlings and Mike Barwick, Johnson believes Summit has the formula to repeat. “That’s what makes us a state championship team right there,” Johnson said. With Mike and Jake contributing, and MaCio and Antonio and myself clicking, to me, that equals a state title.”

As most people know, every four years the president and vice president are not elected directly by voters. Rather, they are elected indirectly by electoral college votes. Since the president and vice president are the only nationally-elected officials, our founding fathers created an impressive procedure (the Electoral College) to treat their election as distinctly different from the election of a senator or representative. The number of electoral votes in each state is equal to the number of members of Congress to which the state is entitled. There are 538 electoral votes, based on there being 435 representatives and 100 senators, plus three electoral votes for the District of Columbia (as designated in the
Virginia, Florida, and North Carolina (having Republican control of both chambers of the state legislature and the governor’s office) may be tempted to follow Reince Priebus’s marching orders and change the way our country elects its president. Daylin Leach, Pennsylvania state senator (D) said, “As a policy matter, this is so outrageous, it’s almost hard to believe ... It is an obscene scheme to cheat by rigging the elections.” The Republican State Leadership Committee has admitted that if the American voters had their way, there would be a Democratic majority in the U.S. House, but thanks to Republican gerrymandering of congressional district lines, the party has successfully rigged the game and controlled
Joining the fight
“Women have been serving in combat situations for years in Iraq and Afghanistan. They have been risking their lives alongside their male colleagues. They deserve the same training, equipment and benefits that all other combat soldiers receive.” – State Rep. Connie Pillich (D-Montgomery) on the decision of Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta to lift the combat exclusion policy for women serving in our armed forces. Pillich is one of four women veterans serving in the Ohio House.
Pay now, what about later?
“America must pay its bills – no one is arguing against that point. What we are debating is how to shrink those bills moving forward so the federal government doesn't continue maxing out its credit card and selling out future generations. The bills are too high, and it would be irresponsible to merely pay our past obligations without having a real debate about Washington's reckless spending habits and how to avoid this situation in the future.” – U.S. Sen. Rob Portman on why he voted against H.R. 325, the Debt Limit Bill.
Job not well done
“This week, we were sad to
learn not only that unemployment remains high, but also that the economy actually shrunk in the most recent quarter. This is far from the robust economic recovery that we hope for and that was promised; it’s time to face the facts and start implementing progrowth policies to rejuvenate our economy and put people back to work. In order to get our economy back on the right track, we must rein in Washington’s out-of-control deficits, modernize our antiquated and inefficient tax code, reform our important but unsustainable entitlement programs, and reduce onerous regulations that prevent businesses from expanding here at home.” – U.S. Sen.

POLITICALLY SPEAKING Comments from local leaders about issues in the news:
a majority in the House. After having fixed congressional district lines to guarantee success regardless of popular will, are Republicans planning to rig presidential elections starting in 2016? There is always a dramatic drop off in Democratic turnout between presidential elections. Rank-and-file Democrats need to understand that if they don’t vote in 2014, Republicans may rig the presidential election in 2016. This may be the kind of issue that can help get Democrats energized in a midterm election.
college are oftentimes underemployed, making it even more difficult for a vast number of them, as well as their classmates who do not complete college, to pay back the crushing debt they have accumulated during their college careers. Finally, there are not enough jobs in the labor market to support everyone earning a college degree. Right now, for instance, there are enormous skills gaps in the trades’ areas - for machinists and welders to cite two examples. For an interesting commentary on the need for skilled trades’ workers in this country, go to YouTube and view Mike Rowe’s testimony to the U.S. Senate on the need for skilled workers. Perhaps instead of promoting college to all of our students, we should encourage them to pursue the areas where they show the most aptitude, interest and passion. At the same time, and as Petro’s report mentions, it is vitally important to teach them to glean relevant information about the realities of the labor market.

Feb. 6 question How does Greater Cincinnati Airport’s announcement that a low-cost carrier, Frontier Airlines, will be operating from the airport affect you? Are you more or less likely to fly from CVG as opposed to another regional airport?
“I have been retired from IBM for 21 years, and have flown out of our airport maybe once or twice since then. So my view is not as important as someone who still flies regularly. “Having said that, however, I have seen media discussion about the concern over Frontier’s initial low rates, which probably will adversely affect Delta Airlines’ operating profits. Some of that discussion speculates that it may even cause Delta to leave, and when Frontier is left without competition it may well raise its rates. “One of the few benefits of getting old is that I don’t have to travel on business any more, so this situation will not affect me directly.”
Bill B.
“That depends on the cost of the new carrier’s tickets. So far, by reputation, CVG has been very costly to fly out of compared to Dayton or Indianapolis, mainly due to their low operating and overhead costs of what CVG has. “I have flown out of Dayton in the past for almost one-half to onethird the cost of CVG, get onto a plane which takes me to CVG and I make the connecting flight from there. I don’t see the logic of CVG.”
394 Wards Corner Road Loveland, Ohio 45140 phone: 248-8600 email: tricountypress@communitypress.com web site: www.communitypress.com
O.H.R.
“Frontier will be anoth-
er source to check on flights and fares. We often fly out of CVG to LA and have in the past found good deals on both Delta and American Airlines. “Delta provides a direct flight on some days where AA usually has one to two stops prior to LA. “Understand that Frontier will have to stop in Denver so this might not be as beneficial in cost as a direct flight. Time and cost will tell and make some future decisions on flight providers.”
D.J.
“I’m not a regular airline user, but I am glad to see some competition come to CVG. Frontier’s arrival proves once and for all that Delta was making excessive profits. Sad to say, that’s what most businesses do in the absence of competition.”
R.V.
“Frontier coming into CVG is great news! Hope other carriers are soon to follow. Already bought very affordable tickets to go to Denver this summer.”
J.R.B.
“I will definitely try to fly from CVG using Frontier. Here’s hoping they can make it!”
J.G.
“Greater Cincinnatians don’t enjoy driving 100+ miles north, south or west to find affordable air travel. For the past nearly 30 years it’s been a way of life thanks to the stranglehold of Delta Airlines on CVG. “Competition is a wonderful thing, I welcome Frontier and look forward to the 25-mile drive. I wish them success.”

Father’s service inspires WWII collection By Gannett News Service
Wayne Coulter retired from a 28-year career with the Army in 2008, but he hasn’t left his military days behind him. A chance encounter with a group of World War II re-enactors at the Blue Ash Air Show that summer has turned into both a dedicated hobby and collection for the Springdale history buff. Coulter, 52, began collecting authentic items used by soldiers in World War II for use in reenacting the battles and missions of World War II. He participates in about five reenactments across the country each year with the Texas-based Third Army Living Historians group. Coulter, who's invested about $13,000 in his "living history" collection, is now often tapped by educational and civic organizations to share his passion. His displays have been featured in air shows in Indianapolis and Dayton, Middletown's Troop Aid 2010, the Dayton Patriot Freedom Festival and the Cincinnati Museum Center's 1940's weekend. About the collection: More than 600 items, including weapons, uniforms and equipment. I have a medical display, with everything you'd find in a World War II medical bag, like tourniquets, a Red Cross arm band, 1942 iodine swabs, scissors and a medical needle sterilizer. The demolitions display has a galvanometer and blasting and trip wire. I have two M1 carbines and an A1 carbine, M1 Garand and M1903 Springfield bolt action rifles, an M1919 .30 caliber machine gun, an M1911 pistol and replicas of the M1928 Thompson machine gun, M3 "grease gun" .45 caliber machine gun and M1A1 rocket launcher. Why World War II? That's what I grew up with. My father was in World War II in the Navy. He joined in 1943 and went through Okinawa and Iwo Jima and was in Occupation Japan after the war and then served in Korea. He never really spoke about his service and I found out about a lot of the things he's done from books after he passed on in 2009. I learned that his ship was hit by a Japanese Kamikaze (pilot) and that in Korea, he was part of the force that landed at Inchon under direct fire from the Communist forces. He was very humble and said he was just one of many.
Coulter’s WWII collection has been featured in air shows in Indianapolis and Dayton, the Dayton Patriot Freedom Festival, Middletown's Troop Aid 2010 and at the Cincinnati Museum Center. Shown are some Type K Ration boxs in his collection. TONY JONES/THE COMMUNITY PRESS
WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT Wayne Coulter will next display his collection at the Dayton VA Patriot Freedom Festival Saturday, May 25, at the Dayton VA, 4100 West Third St., Dayton. For information on featuring Coulter’s display at an event, email him at coulterww@yahoo.com.

Most valuable item: An M1919 machine gun display gun. A friend of mine built this up from a .30 caliber dummy gun. I asked him if I could display it and he said to hold onto it. He had me tow a trailer last year and it was too heavy and tore up my transmission. He said, "Dude, just keep the dis-
play gun." If I had to buy one today as a display gun, it would cost $2,300. It cost me $1,700 to get the transmission fixed. I think I came out on the better end of that deal. Best find: An M1944 compact pack set, which would have been the last combat set fielded during World War II. The top
half attaches to a bottom set. In the top half, you would have maybe a change of underwear, socks, a T-shirt and food and ammunition. In combat, you could drop that bottom pack. My mom used to work at the old Midwest Salvage in Woodlawn when I was 15 years old and came up with it then. I paid $5.50
back in the 1970s for the top half. I found the bottom half of that pack set at a show in Northern Kentucky 35 years after I found the top half. I paid $15 for the bottom half and today the pack would go for $150. The1944 pack was never accepted by the Army as standard equipment and most were modified and the straps torn off. For me to find a complete, almost mint, 1944 pack, you just don't see it. Most unique item: I paid $10 for a Lucky Strike green flat '50s (cigarette) tin at an antique mall. It's a unique item from the period that has a little story behind it. Prior to World War II, Lucky Strike packs were green and red. In 1942, packs became white because the military was taking all the green dye. They're white to this day. What motivates you to share your collection? I love teaching people. As a non-commissioned officer in the Army, I was always teaching people how to do their jobs. When I got out, I could take my knowledge of U.S. military history and impart that to the public. A lot of people say, 'Why don't they teach this in schools?' I just say, 'Indeed, why don't they.'

Sweet ideas for Valentine
So much happening in February! It’s Heart Month, Lent starts, Valentine’s Day is here and so is Presidents’ Day. Let’s start with something for Valentine’s Day since that is one of my favorite special days. When I was a kid, sweets were a real treat, due in part to Mom’s lean budget and her and my Dad’s desire to feed the nine of us children Rita a healthy Heikenfeld diet. So RITA’S KITCHEN when I was 16 and received my first Valentine box of candy from my boyfriend, Jim, I was in chocolate heaven. I’ve gotten lots of Valentine’s treats since then, but none can take the place of that first heart of drugstore chocolates. Reach out this Valentine’s Day by remembering those folks who would benefit from a fun card, a phone call or a plate of goodies.
‘I love you' chocolate covered cherries These are amazingly easy to make and look stunning in a heart shaped box. This recipe is appropriate for Presidents’ Day, too. Remember the story of George Washington admitting to chopping down his Dad’s cherry tree because he couldn’t “tell a lie.” 1 jar l0 oz., maraschino cherries with stems Drain cherries very well for several hours. They must be dry for fondant to adhere. Fast Fondant Not a true fondant, but an easy one. You’ll have fondant leftover. Freeze fondant up to a month. 3 tablespoons butter, softened 3 tablespoons light corn syrup 2 cups powdered sugar 12 ounces or so melted chocolate
Film bottom of pan with olive oil. Add everything but beans and broth. Cook over medium heat until garlic smells fragrant. Don’t let onions and garlic get brown. Stir in beans and broth. Cover and lower to a simmer and cook until rice is tender. Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Beans are called cancer-licking legumes – high in fiber and protein and low in fat. What about salt? Too much is bad for the heart! Himalayan pink sea salt is my salt of choice. Absolutely pure, sans toxins or any other bad stuff, unlike other salts that we commonly use. Check out my blog for timely info on this pretty and tasty salt. These “I love you” chocolate covered cherries are easy to make and make a good Valentine’s Day gift. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD.
Mix butter and syrup, then mix in powdered sugar. It will look a bit dry but will come together as you knead it smooth. If too soft to handle, chill for 15 minutes. (Mixture can also be made a week ahead and brought to room temperature). Shape 1⁄2 to l teaspoon mixture around each cherry, fitting the fondant closely to the cherry, enclosing the base of the stem as well. Roll in your palms to smooth fondant. Place on baking sheet and chill until firm. This is necessary for the chocolate to adhere. Melt chocolate. Let cool a bit – chocolate will be still be warm and very liquid. Dip cherry into chocolate. Seal completely or juice could leak out. Place on sprayed baking sheet. Chill until firm. To store: Store in tightly covered container in frig. Bring to room temperature before eating. Cake pops: Recipe on my blog. Fun for kids. Check out photo of grandson, Jack, decorating cake pops he made.
Heart healthy vegetarian red beans and rice When you pair rice with beans, you have a nice, protein filled dish. Try brown rice which is nutritionally better than white. It will take longer to cook, and is absorbed more slowly in your sys-

On view at the Evendale Cultural Arts Center for one weekend only will be the work of three artists – Jody Ball, P.A. Haslit and LuAnna Klote – who explore divergent paths of the painted image. Join the artists for an opening reception from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, March 1. The show continues March 2-3 and is open from noon to 4 p.m. both days. Ball lives and paints on a small farm overlooking the Little Miami River Valley. Her art is a mix of realism with softened edges combined with subjects that excite her heart. Primarily using oil and pastels, she said, “Art is an inborn passion for me. I am possessed with the colors, forms, and textures that are possible in the creation of two-dimensional art.” She has studied under Doug Dawson, Linda Fisher and Daryl Urig. Haslit lives and paints in Evendale. Her vision is to paint simple, ordinary objects revealing their uniqueness in a fresh and spontaneous manner. Her technique is that of the Old Masters, glazing layer after layer of oils to realize a conversation with color that is exciting and intriguing. She has studied under Robert & Carin Hebenstreit, David Mueller, C.F. Payne and Elmer Ruff. Klote lives in Mason and is inspired to paint from her travels. Her art is a mix of landscapes and flowers painted to catch the brilliant sunlight to create peaceful, lovely paintings. She has studied under Ray Hassard, Ken Landon Buck, C.F. Payne and Merlene Schain. The Evendale Cultural Arts Center is at 10500 Reading Road. For more information, call (513) 563-1350, email evendaleculturalarts @gmail.com or visit online at www.evendaleohio.org.

Checks may be phony, but scam is real Why would someone send a check for several thousand dollars to a total stranger? Although it sounds crazy, it happens every day. But if you get one those checks and deposit it you could end up losing thousands of dollars. Sending checks to strangers has been going on for years with the sender giving a wide
variety of reasons for the check. But all these scams have one thing in common – the Howard checks Ain they send HEY HOWARD! you are phony and the money you are to send them will be

real. Katelin Willman of Brookville received one of these checks after she advertised for a job on the Internet. “I’ve received several different job offers. Most of them seem to be scams but this one in particular told me I could advertise on my car so it seemed really good, easy money. All I have to do is drive around,” Willman said. Willman told that emailer she was interested. “All of a sudden he sent me a check in the mail for more than $2,400. The job offer was only for like $300. It seemed a little fishy to me and that’s when I contacted you,” Willman said. I asked if she was supposed to keep the extra $2,100 as some kind of advance on her salary, but she said no. Willman
said she was told, “Put it in my bank account, then get a money order for the extra money and send it out.” “The check looked legitimate and real but it just sounded weird,” Willman said. Another sign this was a scam is the sender didn’t enclose the placard with the ad that was to be placed on the side of her car. All she received was the phony check. It seems very clear all the sender was interested in was the money. When Willman emailed the sender saying she knew it was a scam, he wrote back. “He said the FBI was after me because I cashed their check and I better send the money or else they’re going to come after me … The sad thing is a lot of people are going to fall for it and they’re
going to have their bank accounts drained,” Willman said. Unfortunately, Willman is correct; a lot of people have fallen for this scam. In fact, the Federal Trade Commission says fake checks are being used in a growing number of fraudulent schemes, including secret shopper scams, foreign lottery scams, check overpayment scams and Internet auction scams. That’s why, even though it cost the scammer nearly $19 for express mail postage in Willman’s case, he can afford to pay it. He sends out lots of these phony checks and, even if only a handful of recipients fall for the scam, he can make a lot of money. Sometimes the phony checks look like legitimate cashier’s checks or postal money orders, but
they are never real. In all cases you are told to deposit the check into your bank account. Then you must send them your good money via Western Union or Money Gram – and that money can’t be traced. In fact, the thieves can pick up the money at just about any location, often outside the United States. Phony checks can take weeks to discover and you are responsible for any funds you withdraw from the bank against that check. Remember, once you sign the back of a check and deposit it, the bank will hold you responsible if that check doesn’t clear. Howard Ain answers consumer complaints weekdays on WKRC-TV Local 12.

Hamilton Co. Parks teaching winter survival skills Nothing like a test of survival skills to motivate people to get outdoors. The Winter Challenge will cover all that adults need to know in making it through winter in the wild. The program will be offered Saturday, Feb. 23, at 2 p.m. through Sunday, Feb. 24, at 11 a.m. at Winton Woods Adventure Outpost. Saturday evening will cover survival techniques
such as creating fire, building a shelter, signaling for help, locating and purifying water, cooking over a fire, orienteering (using map and compass to navigate) and basic first aid. The evening will also feature a night navigation course. To get the full experience, adults are invited to stay overnight in a basic cabin at Adventure Out-
post. After breakfast on Sunday morning, participants will take part in survival challenges to test their skills. It is required that participants wear proper clothing and shoes to withstand the winter elements. The cabins are unheated, therefore it is required that those who stay bring warm clothes and winter bedding. Compasses will
be provided. Cost for the Winter Challenge is $50 per adult. Registration is required by Feb. 19 at GreatParks.org. A valid Hamilton County Park District Motor VehiclePermit($10annual;$3 daily) is required to enter the parks. For additional information, visit GreatParks.org or call 513-521-PARK (7275).

Evendale violinist wins competition, shares musical gift
Ursuline Academy senior Leah Anderson of Evendale won a violin concerto competition sponsored by The College-Conservatory of Cincinnati and the Clermont Philharmonic Orchestra. As a result, she has been invited to be the featured soloist at the Clermont Philharmonic Concert at UC Clermont at 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16. Admission is free. Anderson, who is the concert-master of Ursuline’s Sinfonia Orchestra, and a member of the school’s musical theater orchestra pit, is an accomplished musician who has won first place in five local, regional, and statewide competitions in the past 3 years. This past November she received an honorable mention in the Classical 90.5 WUOL Young Artist’s Competition and was invited to perform live on their lunchtime classics program. She has auditioned for, and has been accepted into several competitive summer music schools, including Interlochen and The Jacobs School of Music. She serves as the principal second of the Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestra. When she’s not playing for her school orchestra or other music groups, Anderson finds time to share her gift with others. Dur-
Ursuline Academy senior Leah Anderson of Evendale won a violin concerto competition sponsored by The College-Conservatory of Cincinnati and the Clermont Philharmonic Orchestra. THANKS TO MARIANNE LANG
ing her years at Ursuline, she has volunteered as a liturgical musician at every school-sponsored Mass. She also volunteers consistently at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Parish accompanying the choir and playing as a soloist there. She has volunteered her time at faculty luncheons, at the school’s President’s Dinner, school chamber recitals, and has performed with the Ursuline chorus in the home of (the late) Cincinnati arts patron Louise Nippert on several occasions. During the past four years, Anderson she has performed more than 20 outreach concerts, individually and as part of her “Allegro” chamber group, at nursing homes, retirement communities, and in
other similar venues. In January, she performed for the residents and staff at the Alois Alzheimer Center; in December she performed for residents and family members at the Amber Park Nursing Home; and in November she entertained children and adults at Christkindlmarkt. She also is preparing for seven college auditions. She plans to pursue a double degree in college in both biology (her other passion) and violin performance. “Already, she’s making plans to form an ‘Outreach Chamber Group’ for the purpose of sharing the gift of music with others when she arrives on campus,” said her mother, Tamara Anderson.
Blue Ash hosts ‘Traveling Jekyll & Hyde Show’ The Blue Ash Recreation Center presents “The Traveling Jekyll & Hyde Show” by Russell Davis, an interactive theater performance by Playhouse in the Park “Off the Hill.” This free event is open to the public and will be 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Feb.15, in the Rec Center’s gymnasium, 4433 Cooper Road. The comedy deconstructs the themes of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic horror novel using verbal wit, slapstick and clowning. A tiny touring theatre company attempts to tell the story of the scientist who learns to split his good from his evil side; however, they are sabotaged at every step by a domineering director who suffers from his own ability to keep his morality straight. The three
women in the company slowly take control of the story as they learn to take control of their lives. “The Traveling Jekyll & Hyde Show” is not a literal telling of the original novel, but does touch on its themes. It is recommended for ages 11 and up, and families are encouraged to stick around for a question and answer session immediately following the performance. The Northeast Community Challenge Coalition (NECC), a local community prevention coalition dedicated to promoting safe and healthy lifestyles for youth in the area, will be selling concessions at the show as a fundraiser for their Youth Coalition. The NECC Youth Coalition sponsors a Community Wide Red Ribbon campaign, an annual yearlong
effort to increase awareness about the negative effects of violence/bullying, alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. The East Side Players, a community theater group, will also do a short performance before the play begins. The goal of the ESP is to foster interest, appreciation, and participation in theater for a wide range of individuals of all ages. They believe that the community benefits from seeing live theater conveniently located in their neighborhood starring friends and family. Registration for this event is encouraged and can be done by stopping by or calling the recreation center’s front desk, (513) 745-8550. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the curtain time is 7 p.m.
Ash Wednesday on the streets On Ash Wednesday, Feb. 13, Ascension & Holy Trinity will be offering “Ashes to Go,” a new approach to a centuries-old Christian tradition, at the corner of Burns and Worthington avenues in Wyoming at 3:30 p.m.. Ascension & Holy Trinity is part of a new nationwide movement that has clergy and lay people visiting transit stops, street corners, coffee shops, and college campuses to mark the foreheads of interested passers-by with ashes and invite them to repent
of past wrongdoing and seek forgiveness and renewal. In the Christian tradition, Ash Wednesday marks the start of the holy season of Lent, a time for reflection and repentance in preparation for the celebration of Easter. For centuries, Christians have received a cross of ashes on the face at the beginning of that season as a reminder of mortal failings and an invitation to receive God’s forgiveness. Ashes to Go provides the opportunity to participate in that tradi-
tion for people who have lost their connection to a church, or have never participated before. "Our lives are increasingly busier and busier as we meet the daily demands of family and work. Ashes to Go helps us receive God's forgiveness in the midst of overflowing and hectic lives," the Rev. Eric L. Miller said. Contact Ascension & Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, emiller479@hotmail.com, (513) 821-5341 for more information.

Valentine concert features young talent On Sunday, Feb. 17, at 7 p.m., the Blue Ash/Montgomery Symphony Orchestra presents its own version of the popular show “From the Top,” featuring several winners of the Orchestra’s 2012 Jack & Lucille Wonnell Young Artist Concerto Competition. Suzanne Bona, host of “Sunday Baroque" on WGUC, will co-host with BAMSO music director Michael Chertock. Pianist Benjamin Gittens, 16, was the Southwest Ohio District Winner in the Pre-Collegiate Buckeye Competition for Senior Level Piano and was one of the three top scorers at the CCM Auditions Festival in 2012 Bryson Karrar, is 13, but his passion for music was evident even as a tod-
dler, beginning his violin studies at the age of 3. He is a member of the Cincinnati Junior Strings Orchestra, conducted by Gerald Doan, and holds the position of concertmaster for the second year. Clara Fishlock, homeschooled and a high school sophomore, has been playing the flute since she was 6-years-old. She studies with Jennifer King, a frequent member of the BAMSO ensemble.

Peanut Butter and Jam chamber music series with her family, the Muddy River Consort. Cellist Benjamin Fryxell, 18, has been praised for his beautiful tone, compelling interpretations and dazzling technique. Fryxell is now in his third season as principal cello of the Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestra. As the first-prize winner in their 2012 concerto competition he will be the featured soloist on their joint concert with the Cincinnati Symphony in May. The concert will take place at the St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, 10345 Montgomery Road in Montgomery. All concerts are free to the public.
