SPRINGDALE — The city is working with an outdoor advertising firm on an electronic display that it hopes will catch the eye of motorists and lure them to the city. The massive, 14-foot-by 48foot sign will be built near Front Room Furniture, visible to Interstate 275. The electronic LED sign will cycle advertisements every eight seconds. Lamar Advertising Co. has hired Springdale's Chamber of Commerce to market the advertising time because of the cham-
ber's close contact with local businesss, according the city's economic development director. Jeff Tulloch said Lamar will bear all of the $750,000 cost, and will devote one-sixth of the advertising time to Springdale business advertising and community service messages, Tulloch said. "The city's role has been one of promoting the development of the device and design influence during the Planning Commission approval process," Tulloch said. The sign is expected to be operational by June. "I think we will get advertisers who want to do it as an eco-
nomic stimulus for the community, more than getting their name up there," Tulloch said. "It really is very exciting to get this sign up there. "It's one thing we can do to enhance the area." For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/ Springdale.

A space for seniors By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
WYOMING — Seniors in Wyoming now have a home base. As the city, through its Senior Commission, has reached out to residents, the need for a central gathering place emerged. That input came from a recent workshop, during which seniors had the opportunity to talk with representatives, including Senior Commission Chairman Mike Eyman, City Manager Lynn Tetley and Recreation Director Cathi Spaugy, as the city gathered input to help serve senior residents. "Once the floor was open for suggestions from the seniors, the overwhelming request was for a central meeting location, somewhere they could call their own," Spaugy said.
"The decision became immediate for me to offer up the space at the Wyoming Recreation Center. "It's the perfect place for the seniors to meet and for us to start the process of expanding their social, wellness and fitness needs," she said. Tetley said she was excited about the enthusiasm generated at the Jan. 19 input session. "The dedication of this room as their regular meeting space will ensure the sustainability of the group and the ability of the city to expand our programming and services that are geared toward our senior residents." "The seniors are a vital part of our community," Eyman said, "and we were very excited to have this opportunity to meet with residents. "The Senior Commission is looking forward to being a liaison between them and the
city," he said, "and to further develop that space for this vital part of our community." Tetley encouraged seniors, caregivers and those interested in volunteering to contact the Recreation Department at 821-5200. "Our goal is to continue to expand the recreational and service offerings to our Senior Residents and welcome ideas and suggestion to help achieve that goal," Tetley said. The senior newsletter and city blog, at www.wyoming.oh.us, will provide additional information, Tetley said. "We owe them a comprehensive, well-rounded range of services," Spaugy said. "The workshop and the commitment to the central gathering place is a great start." For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/Wyoming.
SHARONVILLE — R.C. Banks was a friend first and a co-worker second. That's how Paul Kattelman remembers Sharonville's former health commissioner and member of the civil service commission, who died Jan. 28, at age 73, after a lengthy battle with cancer. A former mayor of Sharonville, Kattelman saw the extra effort Banks put into his work, enhanced by community volunteerism. As head of the Banks city's Health Department, Banks kept in contact with corporate citizens such as motels, restaurants, schools and other organizations that would need to interact with the department, Kattelman said. "He immediately became involved with the Kiwanis and other service groups in town to make sure that any Sharonville resident who could benefit from the services of the Sharonville Health Department was well aware of the available services," Kattelman said. "He was most proud of the Sharonville Christmas Fund and the families who benefitted from extra cheer during what could have otherwise been a gloomy holiday," Kattelman said. Banks was a member of Grace Bible Presbyterian Church in Sharonville.

Visitors travel ‘around the world’ at Gorman Farm By Leah Fightmaster lfightmaster@communitypress.com
When traveling is not an option, hearing stories and seeing photos from others’ trips is sometimes almost just as exciting. For the fourth year in a row, Gorman Heritage Farm, 10052 Reading Road, has hosted its “Around the World” event for community members and volunteers to come to the farm on a winter evening, share food and drinks, socialize with one another and show photos of their travels. While programs and visitors coming to the
farm slows down during the winter, this event gives people a chance to visit the farm on a cold, and in this year’s case, snowy winter night to spend some time with others who are sharing their experiences traveling as well, said Vicki Foster, marketing and communications director at Gorman Heritage Farm. While the event drew fewer people than in the past, those in attendance brought a wealth of knowledge to share with the other volunteers, along with dozens of photos displaying the people and locations they visited. Some

Aerni, who showed photos of time he spent in Samoa as a volunteer teacher during the 1970s, thought the event had a “personal touch,” while his wife Kathy, also a volunteer, thought it was interesting for people to share their experiences with places “off the beaten track.” Places “off the beaten track” that volunteers shared photos and stories of Friday night include beach towns in Mexico, glaciers and volcanoes in Iceland, traditional ceremonies in Samoa and historical sites in the northeastern United States and Canada.
“It’s cool to see where people have been, and see that my family isn’t the only one to go off the beaten path,” farm volunteer Danae Burris said. Even those who do not travel much, like garden and education volunteer Joyce Weil, can learn about other places without going there, just by listening to others share their experiences from their own trips. “I think it’s really fun, and many people don’t think of coming to the farm during the winter,” Foster said. “It’s a good way to get together and learn something new.”
The rough road ahead This winter, while milder than most, has still taken its toll on local roads. We want to know: What roads in your community are most in need of repair? So far, you have identified these areas:
Madeira
“The worst road anywhere in this area is the upper two-thirds of Dawson Road in Madeira. It is a deeply rutted, pothole-riddled cow path. It’s been in poor condition for a long
time and now it is absolutely atrocious. I drive a big car with luxury suspension and it is still a rough ride. If you were riding a motorcycle, I’d call it hazardous. So… the next time somebody brags to you they’re from Cincinnati’s No. 1 suburb, have ‘em take a ride down Dawson road and then ask them to explain how that is.”

Bethany School has reasons to celebrate The Jan. 27 Bethany second quarter honors assembly recognized fourth- through eighthgrade achievers and Head of School Cheryl Pez wants you to know how terrific these youngsters are. I was privileged to sit with new Glendale Mayor Ralph Hoop and Village Administrator Loretta Rokey. Both are very busy and the mayor learned that a lot more happens day to day that he wasn’t aware of while serving on council. Everyone laughed when he stated he was happy to be at Bethany, because he wasn’t there to solve a problem. However, he was busy giving out prizes, certificates, congratulations and shaking hands Cheryl wanted this to be the best event the mayor has experienced so far in Glendale. The hand bell choir played beautifully, and library awardees held sunflowers, wore elephant ears and recited the poem “Librarian Faithful 100 percent.” Instead of Bethany sweatshirts, honorees wore shirts representing their churches, communities, teams and personal activities. The film the students produced as commercial breaks was adorable. Cheryl advised we might be asking The Bethany Singers for their autographs later. They’ve already performed at Barnes and Noble in West Chester Township and at Glendale’s Christmas event. They will sing the National Anthem at the
April 28 Reds game (Cheryl obtained a block of seats), perform at Cincinnati State’s naturalization ceremony on May 4 and at the July ISSE interEvelyn national Perkins conference. COLUMNIST Aubrey Rose Scholarships are not based on test scores or grades, but offered to students who have made a positive impact on those around them. Brandi Bryson, Audrey Crowe, Amanda Ford and Kayla Milton are the applicants. A Carson Scholar Nominee must have a 3.75 GPA or higher and exhibit humanitarian qualities through community services. Brandi Bryson is this year’s nominee. There was recognition for the spelling bee, Plus Club, art, writing, fourthgrade Spanish, keyboarding, perfect PAS for the second quarter, ISSE and the Service/Outreach Club for grades five through eight. The Mock Trial Team for seventh- and eighth-grades is an extracurricular competition scheduled for April in Columbus. Students beg to be on the team. Here are the 2011-2012 high school recognition and scholarship offers for eighth-graders. The honors are permanent, but students and parents still have some weighty decisions to make: » Denisha Herring
(Cincinnati Country Day Founder’s Scholarship). » Tiara Atwater (Cincinnati Country Day Founder’s Scholarship and the John Coggins Memorial Scholarship from Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy). » Brandi Bryson (Cincinnati Country Day Founder’s Scholarship, FISC Scholarship and admission with distinction St. Ursula Academy, Seven Hills, three scholarships from Ursuline Academy, Headmaster Scholarship from Summit Country Day, two scholarship offers from Mt. Notre Dame as well as an invitation to participate in the Billiart Honors Program). » Brandi, Ola Balkowiec, Hannah Donovan and Jordan Jones were offered Admission with Distinction from Ursuline Academy. » Hannah Donovan (scholarships from McAuley High School, an invitation to be a part of the “Women In” program for medicine, law and engineering and the John Coggins Memorial Scholarship to Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy). » Ola Balkowiec and Jordan Jones (invited to participate in the Billiart Scholar Honors Program at Mount Notre Dame as well as two scholarship offers each). » Ally Hall (Mt. Notre Dame merit award). Jordan (FISC scholarship from St. Ursula and a Trustee Scholarship from Summit County Day). » Vaughn McLean (Seven Hills scholarship
and Headmaster and Donor Scholarships from Summit Country Day. Kelsey Sheldon (an anonymous donor scholarship to Summit Country Day).

The 50 Cincinnati Country Day students who earned this distinction represent 43 percent of the school’s classes of 2011 and 2012. “Each year, Country Day has
a significant number of students who are distinguished as AP Scholars because our challenging course work is similar to what they will experience at the college level,” said Head of School Robert Macrae. “We purposefully prepare them for the rigor ahead since many of our seniors aim to enroll at the most competitive colleges and universities across the country.” Kevin McSwiggen was named a National Scholar. National Scholars are students in the United States who receive an average grade of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 4 or higher on
eight or more of these exams.

Older, wiser Isham leads Princeton By Nick Dudukovich
ndudukovich@communitypress.com
SHARONVILLE — A lot can be learned in four years. Nobody knows that better Princeton High School guard Deion Isham. As a freshman in 2009, when the Vikings made their run to the state championship game, Princeton’s coaching staff thought enough of Isham to add him to the postseason roster. But during the sectional round, Isham was removed from the lineup for disciplinary reasons for failing to return to class on time after a fire drill. Now a senior, Isham looks back at the incident as an experience that helped him grow. “It helped me mature and to see that I have to do the right things to stay on the team,” Isham said. “Just because I was a freshman on
varsity, it didn’t mean anything.” Isham used the setback as a way to stay focused on basketball – and the 2011-2012 season has been his time to shine. Isham, leads the Vikings in the scoringandisseventhintheGreater Miami Conference with 14.6 points per game. “He knew this was going to be his year. He knew it would be his team,” head coach Mike Anderson said. Isham has also demonstrated theleadershipabilitythatwarranted his teammates to vote him a team captain during the preseason. When teammate Malcom Smith went down with an injury in early January, Isham was ready to increase his role to help the Vikings fillthevoidleftbySmith’sabsence. “He’s the guy in practice that when guys are down, Deion is the guy calling the team to stick to-
gether and giving the extra pep talk they need,” Anderson said. And when Princeton needs that leadership to translate into points on the scoreboard, Isham’s delivered. He kicked off his season with a bang and lit up Colerain for five 3pointers during the fourth game of the year. His heroics were also evident during a 22-point performance against Mason, Jan. 24. At the time, the Comets were ranked No. 1 in the Enquirer’s city coaches’ poll. In his final varsity season, Isham is vindicating the potential that fans witnessed during his sophomore season as a member of the junior varsity squad. According to Anderson, who was an assistant under former head coach Josh Andrews back then, spectators would “ooh” and “ahh” at Isham’s highlight worthy plays.
But as a junior on the varsity squad during the 2010-2011 season, Ishamstruggledwhileplayinglimited minutes on a senior-heavy team. “(Last year) was really tough...but I couldn’t quit,” Isham said. “Once I start something, I never quit.” Anderson believes his pupil, who he has known since the third grade, was suffering from confidence issues a season ago. But whatever worries Isham had, are long gone. The freedom and confidence Isham plays with were on display at Elder Feb. 14 when he threw down a 360-degree slam dunk. “He can do moves like nobody elsecan,”Andersonsaid.“Hepractices those moves every single day. That’s the type of guy he is. He’s a very hard worker.” Isham, who is being heavily recruitedbyIowaCentralCommu-
THE DEION ISHAM FILE: Toughest opponent: “Geovonnie McKnight of Middletown” Favorite place to play besides Princeton: “I would say Mason...their student section is crazy every year.” Pre-game rituals: “Listening to music” Most memorable moment: “Scoring 24 points against Colerain in front of Iowa Central Community College recruiters.”
nity College, is looking forward to his final crack at the postseason. “I think we can be really good,” he said. “We need to become the team...with one mindset: just win. And if we just come with that attitude, I think we can beat anybody in the state.”

Following Glendenning’s girls By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com
WYOMING — At press time, the overachieving Wyoming High School girls basketball team was still grinding along. At the Division II sectional tournament at Withrow Feb. 15, the Cowboys continued their season with a 38-32 win over McNicholas. As is often the case, senior Michelle Jolson led Wyoming with 22 points, including three buckets from the arc. The win put the Cowboys at 16-5 under first-year coach Travis Glendenning. The former assistant replaced Angie Edmonds after last season’s19-4 finish. Despite predictions to the contrary, Wyoming made it back to the postseason mix “We were picked fifth in the league and finished second,” Glendenningsaid.“That’sagreat accomplishment.” Not bad for a team that lost two of its first three games. Since a Jan. 21defeat at Indian Hill, the Cowboys have reeled off eight straight wins, including a second win over Madeira. The Amazons andCowboysfinishedtheCincinnatiHillsLeaguescheduleat11-3. “The two wins over Madeira werethehighlightofourseason,” Glendenning said. Wyoming’s only league losses were at Mariemont and both games against No. 1 Indian Hill. “I felt like Indian Hill was right at the top and Madeira was close behind,” Glendenning said. “I thought Reading was probably
next. To get four wins over Reading and Madeira was probably four more than we expected.” The next obstacle for Glendenning’s girls is back at Withrow Feb. 22 against Western Brown, another tough contender in their quest for a sectional title. “People tried to stay in the bracket away from Indian Hill,” Glendenning said. “That put a number of solid teams in our bracket.” With teams keying on Jolson, the second-leading scorer in the CHL (14.9) behind Indian Hill’s Nicole Bell, Glendenning may have to rely on the talented senior’s passing skills to post players Kathryn Policastro and Shannon O’Hara. Both average six points and six rebounds per contest. “Michelle can really see through traffic well, look people off, reverse the ball and ball fake,” Glendenning said. “She is very, very gifted in her understandingofthegame.Youcantell how smart she is in the classroom, on the soccer field and in basketball. She makes plays no one else on the floor for us can make.” Jolson will be at Brown in the Ivy League a year from now, concentrating on her soccer skills. Glendenning will also lose seniorsO’Hara,Policastro,ClaraRodrigue and Mary Tess Irvine at season’s end. “It’s going to be a big loss,” Glendenning said. “At this time last year, we were losing Nikki McKee and Hailee Schlager and we were talking about 90 percent

VIEWPOINTS
A6 • TRI-COUNTY PRESS • FEBRUARY 22, 2012
Princeton is indeed at a crossroads. The choice we make with the school levy March 6 is about the value our schools provide, and it’s about protecting that value in our community. Have we managed our finances well? Absolutely. Princeton has taken hard hits in funding to our schools, and those have Steve Moore been especially COMMUNITY PRESS hard from the GUEST COLUMNIST state. The shift in Ohio tangible personal property tax laws has removed more than $11 million annually of local taxpayer money from Princeton’s budget and took it to Columbus. What did we do about it? We lobbied our state legislators. Instead of asking residents long ago for new operating dollars to replace these losses we made the hard decisions and cut and eliminated $22.7 million. The last two years alone we lost approximately 100 teachers, administrators and support staff. These cuts have been deep and we are looking like a very different Princeton. We have instituted modern business practices such as selfinsurance and energy management systems. We have instituted a three-year salary freeze, increased health care contributions, and reduced health care benefits for all staff. We have done all we can without making major changes in education programs and services. I am proud of our schools and the sound fiscal management and educational value we provide to our community. Here in Princeton, the consequences of a levy failure are real and creates a real crisis. If the levy fails, our schools will face an
immediate $6.5 million in further cuts. This will mean sweeping, district-wide cuts such as closing a community elementary school, increasing class sizes to 30-35, slashing our music program by 24 classes, eliminating high school busing for public and private schools students, and high fees for athletic and extracurricular participation. The need for new operating dollars does not go away with a levy failure. Rather, the crisis becomes larger the following year ... with additional large budget cuts and levy requests. You see, every election for a school district has deep consequences. One need only look at some of our neighboring communities and their schools and property values, which are faltering due to levy failures and deep, deep cuts. However, where we can be different is choosing to support our schools at the ballot box. As school board members it is our job to balance the financial books, and to put forth a vision and options that we believe are in the best interests of the students and taxpayers. Your Princeton School Board conservatively agreed to put forth the lowest millage amount required that would simply sustain what we have. We held off on requesting an operating levy for as long as possible. This year marks 13 years since that last request. I believe Princeton Schools have earned your vote. Please join me – and so many others such as every Princeton community mayor, former State Sen. Dick Finan and State Rep. Connie Pillich, in supporting this levy March 6. Steve Moore is president of Princeton School Board, a retired P&G executive and father of two children in Princeton Schools.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Levy defeat would affect all
I am writing to try and explain why I am for the Princeton school levy. It is always hard for any school district to ask for money, especially during hard economic times. Princeton is no different. It is the state of Ohio school funding that is forcing districts like Princeton to use the only means they have to get those funds to continue to offer all of the “excellent” programs that are offered. It has been 13 years since the last operating levy. The district has been able to sustain all of its programs this long when many districts have not. If this levy does not pass the special education and advanced placement classes will be affected. There will also be many children who will not have the opportunity to try playing a sport or to play an instrument. This is not only because they might not be able to pay to play but also because the activity bus will not be able to drive them home. I know I am not the only one that really hopes the residents of this wonderful district come out March 6 and vote for the levy. Thank you for reading my opinion and for voting March 6.

It's levy time again
How I long for something new. All I hear is: cutbacks at the state level, teachers working countless unpaid hours, public schools have to take developmentally challenged students, English as a Second Language requirements, teachers need master's degrees, and that old favorite: "It's all about the children.” All the time and money (but "no taxpayer funds were used...", they said with a wink)
Time to shut door on Obamacare Religious freedom is the first freedom mentioned in our Bill of Rights and arguably, the most important freedom guaranteed to Americans. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” Religious freedom is so much more than the freedom to worship. It goes to the heart of how individuals live their lives, their personal priorities and how they use their resources. Catholics should not be required to pay for someone else’s birth control and contraception any more than Jews should be required to purchase pork for others consumption. The recent abuse of regulatory authority by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius dictating that all insurance coverage should include birth control, contraception and even abortion-inducing medication is an intolerable assault on our religious freedom. It is worth noting that in her testimony in front the Senate Finance Committee recently, Sebelius said she had not consulted with the Department of Justice or Conference of Catholic Bishops, but had talked to
abortion rights groups such as Planned Parenthood, ACLU and NARAL Pro-Choice America. In November 2011, Ohioans voted 67 percent to 33 percent to protect their choice and passed Issue 3 – the Ohio Healthcare Freedom Amendment. This was a citizen driven initiative that collected more than 450,000 signatures solely through volunteer effort. I was glad to volunteer my time as state chairman for the pro-Issue 3 campaign Mike Wilson COMMUNITY PRESS because our state’s bill of GUEST COLUMNIST rights now guarantees that Ohio citizens are free to choose the health care coverage that is right for them and their families. It’s even more important now that our religious freedoms are under attack. As a practicing Catholic I am deeply offended by the federal overreach into areas of individual conscience. I agree with New York’s Archbishop Timothy Dolan, “Never before has the federal government forced individuals to go out into

the marketplace and buy a product that violates their conscience. This should not happen in a land where free exercise of religion ranks first in the Bill of Rights.” This is one of many reasons for opposing the unconstitutional mandate contained in the federal healthcare legislation. Once we open this door, there is no limit to what the federal government can force you to buy if they think it’s good for you – even if it violates your own conscience. I agree that we need healthcare reform. However, it is clear to me is that we don’t need the same people who brought us the IRS, the DMV and the TSA running our healthcare. We need reform that is market driven that will create real competition between insurance companies and medical providers. When elected, I will respect the will of Ohio voters and block implementation of Obamacare in Ohio and work for market driven healthcare reform that will expand coverage, lower costs and improve quality.

are designed to make me feel guilty. The techniques are taught to your school board at a program called Levy University (which is paid for with tax dollars!). Ask your school board about Levy University. That will change the conversation. Here is something new: We don't have the money! This community is hurting. People are out of work. The elderly just got a miniscule Social Security raise and here comes the school board, because they need it more than we. Renters are looking at their leases and finding that if this levy passes, the ir rent is going up. The tired old levy arguments may be true, or they may not. One thing is true: This community can't afford it. Please don't take our money from us. Again.

Options vs. no options
Most of you reading this enjoy a multitude of options each day. Our breadth of options grows in proportion to the freedoms we experience as adults as well as the responsibilities that go with these options. I am hoping, and yes, praying, that the residents of the Princeton City School District do not “opt out” of voting “yes” on the March 6 levy. Within the last five years at Sharonville Elementary, the composition of our school reflects significant changes in cultural, social,and economic entities, reflecting changes in our nation on a smaller scale. As a public school we have no say as to whom we accept and are learning that diversity is the groundwork for how our students from America , Congo, Afghanistan, Russia and Senegal will interact in their future fields of employment . Our students cannot choose

their options; only the voters can do that. Our students cannot change the number of pupils in a classroom, the breadth of their curriculum, whether or not they can get to school safely, and have enriching exposure to the arts, music and gym. Not much changes in the world of options as students mature because they can only dream as far as the voters allow those options to be. I hope you “opt” to support our levy, and if you need a reason to do so, visiting any of our schools would be a positive way to help towards your consideration. We welcome any community member into our school buildings to visit our future community voters. Our students are counting on you opting to retain the elements of a curriculum that builds their future, and thank you for helping them to feel Princeton Pride.

CH@TROOM Feb. 15 question Do you think Catholic health organizations should be permitted to opt out of President Obama's health plan for birth control? Why? Why not?
“Whether Catholic organizations should be permitted to opt out of Obama’s health mandate for birth control is perhaps the wrong question. Religious constitutional aspects of this issue are important, but the economics do not add up. The question might be, ‘Do you favor federally-funded or federally-mandated regulations taking a larger percentage of every worker’s wages for preventative health care? Or is this best handled through individual choice and nonprofit organizations?' “While birth control used by women to prevent pregnancy is a cheaper alternative to abortion and/or unwanted children, there are potentially longer lists. Where exactly does the definitive line of health care coverage end? For example, why aren’t annual fees for fitness centers to maintain physical health and avoid being overweight covered? Daily aspirin use instead of heart surgery? Should we subsidize spinach and carrots and tax all salt and sugar? How about tattoos or

The deficit spending during Obama’s four years in the White House will be an estimated $5,170,000,000,000. It works out to over $17,000 per each American citizen. Federally-funded or federally-mandated health care for everything under the sun with borrowed money is an addiction that we can stop with our voices and votes.

EXHIBIT CELEBRATES 135 YEARS By Kelly McBride
OF GLENDALE CHURCH
kmcbride@communitypress.com
GLENDALE — The Glendale Heritage Preservation Museum is celebrating Black History Month with an exhibit that traces the history of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church. The church, which is celebrating 135 years in the village, has undergone facelifts, but the community that makes up the congregation has stuck together through fire, two wars and the Great Depression. Those stories are told through photos and artifacts uncovered during a treasure hunt of sorts, discovered in the church itself, and donated by members of the congregation. Mt. Zion was organized in 1876, with only six people. Today it boasts about 450. The exhibit includes a timeline of notable events, a list of pastors over the years, photos of the old church and current building, certificates and other documents, and reflections from the church community. Glendale Mayor Ralph Hoop said the exhibit is part of
an outreach to the African American community in the village, to honor the heritage and history of its residents. "It's coming back, and taking one of our most important institutions, and showing history over a long period of time," Hoop said of the exhibit. "It gives a time line of African American participation in the community." The museum, at 44 Village Square, is open Thursdays and Saturdays, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The exhibit includes a display that encourages visitors to share their reflections, to be included in the display, and as part of the ongoing history of the church. Tours and visits at times other than those posted are available by e-mailing the Glendale Historic Preservation Museum at ghp@fuse.net. For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/Glendale.
The current Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church building serves a congregation of about 450. PROVIDED

Goetta is a Greater Cincinnati ‘thing’ Sometimes when I put this column together, I have so many recipes running through my mind that I don’t know which ones to share at any given time. Right now I have goetta recipes, the Rita Heritage Heikenfeld RestauRITA’S KITCHEN rant’s signature house dressing, awesome chunky granola and a host of others for naturally colored Easter eggs. I guess I’ll start from square one with goetta and go from there. Goetta has Germanic origins, but most people who live in Germany have never heard of it. Inge, my German daughter-in-law who grew up in Germany, said she didn’t have a clue until she moved to Cincinnati. Yes, it’s definitely a Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky “thing.” A possibility about the name is that it comes from the German word “gote” or “gotte,” which means peeled grain. The word became Americanized to mean “goetta,” since the ingredient you cannot do without for authentic goetta is pinhead oats (also called steel-cut oats). Dorsel’s is a common brand.
Rita’s goetta
I’ve been making my mother-in-law Clara’s goetta for years with pork shoulder, just as she made it when they slaughtered
hogs in the fall. We fry it with bacon, which is THE way. Goetta freezes well. I’ve changed my recipe over the years and this is my latest one. If you’d like my original one using pork shoulder alone with very few seasonings, check out my blog at Cincinnati.com. You’ll find West Side reader Bill Sander’s recipe, there, as well as Milford reader Don Deimling’s recipe made in a roaster. I’ve borrowed some of Don’s ideas for this recipe. 2 pounds fresh pork shoulder 1/2 of a 19 oz package Johnsonville original bratwurst, skinned (no substitutes) ½ pound ground chuck 1 large onion, chunked up 2-3 ribs celery, chopped 5 bay leaves 1 teaspoon each: garlic powder and poultry seasoning Couple dashes ground allspice 1-2 tablespoons seasoning salt Pepper to taste 8 cups water 3 generous cups pinhead oats
Put everything but oats into big pot. Bring to a boil, lower to simmer and cook 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Strain, pour liquid back in pot, chop everything finely and set aside. Add oats to liquid and simmer 2 hours, stirring often, until oats are fully cooked. Stir in meat mixture. Cook another hour or more until a spoon can stand straight up without falling over in the

Jim Reinhart’s slow cooker goetta
Jim is an Indiana reader who makes his in a slow cooker. A time-tested reader favorite. 3 cups pinhead oatmeal 5 cups water 1½-2 tablespoons salt 1 pound each: ground pork and ground beef 2 medium onions, diced 6 bay leaves 1 teaspoon each: garlic
powder, black pepper, crushed red pepper, sage 2 teaspoons allspice 4 beef bouillon cubes 2 additional cups water
Combine 3 cups of oatmeal with 5 cups water in sprayed slow cooker and cook on high for two hours, stirring occasionally. An hour and a half after putting oatmeal in slow cooker, combine bay leaves, garlic powder, sage, allspice, red pepper, black pepper and bouillon with 2 cups water in saucepan. Bring to boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes or until reduced to 1 cup. Strain and add liquid to slow cooker. While spices are cooking, brown beef and pork with
onions. Drain grease and add mixture to slow cooker, either before or after spice mixture goes in. When all ingredients are in slow cooker, turn to low and mix well, stirring often for another two hours. Don’t be tempted to add water, even though goetta gets very thick. If it becomes too thick to stir, add water sparingly but remember, the thicker it is when done, the better it will fry up. Spoon into casseroles, seal tightly and after it cools, put one in the refrigerator and the other in the freezer if desired. To serve, sauté in a non-stick or cast iron skillet until both sides are browned. (Add enough salt or it will be bland. The

control,” her grandson Kevin says. Heavy rains, along with new home construction and the subsequent increase in rainwater runoff, have led to the increase in the size of the creek. “We had a bridge put in about 15 years ago and we came out one night and saw the bridge had washed down the stream to the neighbor’s yard,” Kevin says. After that, they bought a new, longer bridge and erected it over the span of the creek. Unfortunately, now the ground below the new bridge also is starting to wash away. Part of the problem appears to be storm water emptying into the creek from a large pipe buried under the Bachmanns’ side yard. There’s a lot of erosion at the site where the pipe empties into the creek. During a heavy rainfall, Bachmann says the water gets so high it reaches the bottom of the bridge as it continues to erode the land. “We will eventually lose this house due to all the moisture and it’s going to get worse. The back deck is very close to the creek now, and it’s going to pull the siding off the house,” Kevin says. The Bachmanns have asked the Kenton County Sanitation District to pipe the water through their backyard so they don’t lose any more land, but they’ve been turned down because the creek is on private property. Ardella Bachmann says she knew the creek was there when she bought the house 24 years ago. She says, “That’s what they say, ‘Sorry about your luck, you knew about it when you moved in.’ But the creek was small and it was really kind of nice. I had no idea it was going to create a problem or I would not have bought the property.” The creek is naturally flowing on the Bachmann property, so county officials say they are not allowed to do anything to help. What about that pipe bringing in storm water and adding to the problem? Officials say its carrying water from a naturally flowing culvert that had been there. It was piped through the yard by the developer when he sold the property years ago. The Bachmanns says they are very upset about the county’s inability to help, noting it was the county that initially approved all the construction, including building the house so close to the creek. Bottom line, if you’re thinking of buying a house, check it out carefully if there’s a nice little stream in the backyard. Howard Ain answers consumer complaints weekdays on WKRC-TV Local 12.

Valley Temple honors rabbi’s 10th anniversary Weeks before Sept. 11, 2001, Rabbi Sandford Kopnick assumed the pulpit of the Valley Temple from of one of his mentors. Rabbi Sol Greenberg retired, and the synagogue in Wyoming, had its first new rabbi in more than 30 years. Within weeks of Kopnick's arrival, the drama of Sept. 11 made the challenges of becoming the new spiritual leader of a community even more tricky. Now, 10 years later, the congregation celebrates its first decade with Rabbi Kopnick Valley Temple will be celebrating Kopnick's decade of service this weekend (Feb. 24-Feb. 26) with a visit from nationally renown musician Dan Nichols. Friday's service begins at 7:30 p.m., a Tot Service at 10:30 Shabbat morning, and a celebration for temple members and invited guests on Saturday evening. Dan Nichols will also perform on Sunday morning at 11 a.m. and the community is welcome. "Rabbi Kopnick was anxious to innovate and engage our membership with new ideas and
programming. He did so with great success, but always with sensitivity towards the Temple's culture that had been created during Rabbi Greenberg's long tenure, " said Mark Sass, past president and chair of the search committee which engaged Kopnick. Kopnick's tenure at Valley has been marked with a commitment to youth and to education for all. Kopnick has implemented new family education programming, youth retreats starting in fourth-grade, a revamped b'nai mitzvah program, a middle-school program which is grounded with two weekend retreats and includes a monthlyInternet chatroom, mitzvah projects in the community, field trips to houses of worship of other faiths, and a schedule which allows the students to sleep in a few Sunday mornings a month. Kopnick participates on the faculty of KULANU, the Cincinnati Reform Jewish HIgh School, and is on the board and faculty of Goldman Union Camp Institute. Kopnick also has helped Valley renew its commitment to adult

learning. Three levels of adult Hebrew each week, combined with Saturday morning Torah study, monthly lunch and learns, and seminars featuring HUC professors, HUC students, and other instructors are well-attended. "We celebrate Judaism with as much joy as we can," said Kopnick has he recounted the additions of the Friday Night LIve music format, the annual visits from musician Dan Nichols, the crazy Purim celebrations, and the con-
