BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Apartment complex seeks zoning change The Pines would border Princeton campus By Kelly McBride kmcbride@ommunitypress.com
Sharonville is considering a zoning change that could allow an apartment complex to expand into property at the edge of Princeton school district’s administrative campus. The city’s planning commission has approved a resolution recommending the zoning change that would allow the development on 17.5 acres that fronts on the north side of
Hauck Road. Building, Planning and Zoning Director Richard Osgood supported the change. “Based on the relatively low density of the proposal, and percentage of multi-family residential in the city, compared to single family residential, and based on the comprehensive plan recommendation for that mix, and the traffic studies and other items, Planning Conmmittee did approve the resolution to recommend the zone
change,” Osgood said. Anne McBride, of McBride Dale Clarion, a community planning consulting firm, spoke on behalf of Rookwood Properties, which owns The Pines. “Rookwood Properties has obtained an option to purchase 17.5 acres of property from the Princeton School Board,” McBride said during the public hearing. She described the plan for 140 residents in two-or-three bedroom units. The expansion would include 288 parking spaces, with 140 of those in ga-
rages, according to zoning regulations. “Access to the development will be from Hauck Road,” McBride said. “This will tive two other points to connect to the development, to allow new residents access to amenities such as the clubhouse and pool.” It also will allow better circulation in case of emergency, she said. Don Trautmann, whose Sharonville property abuts green space owned by the school district, said that while he had opposed a previous bid to build on
a larger parcel of the property near the former RELIS building, he supports this project. “Partial development might be the solution,” Trautmann said. “It keeps Princeton happy and it keeps the people of Sharonville who love and remember RELIS happy.” Princeton Superintendent Gary Pack assured members of council, and Trautmann, that the school district would keep the remaining 52 acres intact as natural habitat. The property includes an Indian burial mound, trails and a nature center.

There might be an app for that. Wyoming’s annual corral show, titled “iCorral,” will explore social media through music and humor, spoofing apps such as Facebook, Twitter and InstaGram, among others. The annual show, produced and starring students from Wyoming High School, takes place Friday and Saturday, March 15, and March 16, starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Wyoming Civic Center, at the corner of Worthington Avenue and Springfield Pike.
It’s where “American Idol” meets “Saturday Night Live,” with a combination of music acts and comedy sketches. The community event, overseen by adults, will donate proceeds from the $12 admission fees to groups including Wyoming High School, Wyoming Youth Services, Wyoming School Music Association and “Yes For Wyoming.” The lineup includes skits about things happening at school, according to John Fox, one of the organizers and editor of the annual event. “There’s a lot of school humor, including impersonations of teachers,” he said. “The students will

Glendale has a new fire chief. Kevin Hardwick was sworn in as the volunteer department’s chief during Village Council’s March 4 meeting. He replaces Dave Moore, who resigned for personal reasons. Cindy Hardwick stood with her husband as Mayor Ralph Hoop administered the oath of office to Hardwick, who had previously served as assistant chief. As chief, Hardwick will earn $29,100 for the position that averages 30 hours a week. He will lead a department of about 40 volunteers. Among the chief’s duties are protecting residents against emergency incidents including house and vehicle fires. Hardwick also will manage first responders for medical emergencies before EMTs arrive from neighboring Springdale. “The Fire Department also proactively tries to prevent fire emergencies through inspection of commercial properties and alerting residents about steps they can take to prevent home fires,” Hoop said. Hardwick joined the Glendale Fire Department in 2006, after working for the Greater Cincinnati Airport Fire Department, where he retired as a captain.

Grants help Northland streetscape continue Forest Park gets help with $1.88M By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
Grants will save Forest Park a lot of money as the city continues work on its streetscape projects. The city has been redesigning streetscapes at its three major gateways and commercial corridors – Winton Road, Waycross Road and Northland Boulevard. The final phase, Northland Boulevard, will be completed with two grants that Hodges slash the cost to the city. City Manager Ray Hodges says the streetscape plans includes landscaping, planting, trees, signs and the possibilty of upgraded streetlights, and items such as benches and trash cans, is part of the city’s redevelopment plan. Architectural firm
Spring will see the streetcape along Waycross Road bloom with color as plantings flower and banners are hung on some of the new median streetlights that line the area near Carillion business park area. JENNIE KEY/THE COMMUNITY PRESS
CDS Associates designed the streetscapes plans. The Winton Road part of the streetscapes project, which extends from Smiley Avenue to Kemper Road, does not yet have cost estimates and will be funded by tax increment financing districts for the Wal-Mart development and the Promenade Shopping Center. TIF districts divert the taxes on the improvements to property
in the district to a special fund to pay for infrastructure and capital improvements in the area of the district. The city will get estimates for work on this area later this year. The Waycross project, which extends from Hamilton Road to Mill Road, cost the city about $1.7 million and was paid for in part from money available through the Carillon business park
TIF district. Hodges says the city is in the process of putting the finishing touches on the Waycross phase and is looking for feedback to shape the other projects, as well. “We could make modifications based on what we hear back from residents on Waycross,” Hodges said. “We want to hear what they think.” The city’s taking a different tack to pay for the final phase. Forest Park has received two federal grants that will cover 80 percent of the Northland project’s $1.88 million construction costs. This project will run along the boulevard from state Route 4 to Waycross Road. The two Northland grants total $1.5 million. Hodges said that normally bidding, construction management and inspection of the project would be run through the Ohio Department of Transportation. But Hodges said managing this program locally will allow the city to combine the two grants into a single project. So council voted 7-0 to approve a Local-Let Project
Agreement Feb. 18, which is a contract between Forest Park and ODOT to manage the project according to ODOTs rules and regulations. Hodges said he expects to the project will be ready to begin in the fall of 2014 for completion in 2015. It will be the final phase of the streetscapes project. Chris Anderson, director of community development for the city, said streetscape improvements are great for the community because they pay off. He said it builds community pride. He added that potential new businesses also notice when a community has paid attention to amenities such as how main commercial corridors look. And, he said, the public improvements can inspire businesses to update and upgrade as well. “We have already seen this on Waycross,” he said. “Libby’s Gourmet Desserts, a business that has always been involved in the city, decided to replace its sign. A building that had been vacant for some time is occupied. ”

plies, funds and holiday gifts provided through the program. “These 67 families had a nice holiday,” the mayor said, “and all of that came about with the help of the people and the donations.” Many of those who helped were awarded plaques of appreciation: Sycamore Senior Center; Tri-County Mall; Calvary Church; New Life Outreach Church, Club Rec; Springdale Forest Park Lions Club; Community Center Springdale Seniors Group; Kemper Pond Office Park; Springdale Elementary School; Humana One; Cincom Systems Inc.; Picgtoria Tower; First Financial Bank; Brooks and Son Auto Service Inc.; First Im-

HAVANA CUBA: Modern day of yesteryear
By Kelly McBride
kmcbride@communitypress.com
It was just a year ago, but it was like stepping into the 1950s. Cliff Goosmann took a trip to Havana, Cuba, where he photographed a city that appeared to be stuck in time, with car models of 60 years past, and buildings that hadn’t been updated in many years. He also saw beauty in that snapshot in time, and he captured it in photos. The Montgomery resident will display his collection during a photo presentation March 15 at Sharon Woods. It’s the third of eight presentations by local photographers of the Photography Club of Greater Cincinnati. Goosmann’s trip was part of a People to People cultural exchange in February 2012, in which small groups of seven were led
by Cuban guides. Goosmann’s group toured with a local photographer. “The emphasis was on meeting and photographing Cuban people as they went about their everyday life,” he said. Among the group’s destinations were a furniture factory, dance school, and the former Hershey’s sugar factory, which is now used as an electric train repair center. “This really is a very poor country, frozen in time,” Goosmann said, “and isolated from the rest of the world.” He photographed old Havana, near the Parque Central Hotel, where he stayed during his visit. “There is still beauty hidden in the decay,” Goosmann said, “and the people are very friendly.” See more photos at Cincinnati.com/Sharonville.

Rooks’ rookie year promising for Wyoming By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com
WYOMING — On Dec. 21, 2012, the Wyoming High School boys basketball team surpassed its previous season’s win total. Naturally, surpassing two wins is no reason for a parade, but it was a sign of the resurrection of the Cowboys’ program. Thanks to youth and injury, Wyoming was just 2-18 a year ago. The 2012-13 squad finished a respectable 13-11 under new coach Matt Rooks. Their final loss was 55-48 to Hughes on Feb. 26. Junior Ahmad Frost paced Wyoming with 17 points, while senior Ben Kurtz had 12 in his final prep appearance, as did junior Mark Akinbi. In the final minute, the Cowboys were within a bucket. “We had a lot of opportunities in the fourth quarter but we just let it slip away,” Rooks said. “After the game I was so proud of my guys. I think it’s a huge step for our program to build on, especially with a lot of my guys coming back.” The upside of the season is the introduction of a new pressing defense designed to wear opponents out and the return of four starters. Only Kurtz and Dawson Rogers leave, so starters Frost, Akinbi, Will Marty and Mason Rogers are back. Frost, Akinbi and Marty are not a law firm, but will be seniors. Mason Rogers will be a sophomore and Hudson Rogers will be a junior. Forward Walker Lewis also returns as a junior and Joel Weiss, Ian Toerner, Nolan Prevish, Chris Bucher and Griffin O’Gara will all be seniors. The 6foot-5 O’Gara missed this season due to injury. “Hopefully next year we have a shot to be pretty good,” Rooks said. “I like where we’re going. I’m very pleased with the first year.” The Cowboys hung their hat on defense all season and Rook was pleased to hold a high-scoring team such as Hughes to just 55 points. Outside of CHL champion Madeira, no team scored more than 60 points on Wyoming.

“We got so much better with our defense,” Rooks said. “By the end of the year, I though we were a really good defensive team. That’s the mentality we’re going to to work on; guarding people.” Many of the Cowboys are multi-sport athletes because a school the size of Wyoming needs to share talent. However, juniors Ahmad Frost and Mark Akinbi are “basketball only” and will be in the gym frequently between now and next fall. By then, Rooks and fellow former Moeller Crusader Bubba Walther (now Wyoming assistant) should have all of the Cowboys worked into a lather with their in-your-face approach to defense. Tim Edmonds, who once coached Rooks himself at Moeller, is also on staff. He adds varsity head coaching experience from Turpin and CHCA. “With the foundation this year, we hope to build on it next year,” Rooks said. “We just have to keep working and guarding and that’s our main focus.”
Coach: Be positive about Vikes’ feats Pogue, Mitchell lead talented team By Tom Skeen tskeen@communitypress.com
SHARONVILLE - — Jill Phillips is tired of people knocking her team for losing in the Division I regional semifinals the past four seasons. She would like to see her team recognized for their accomplishments and for people to realize her Lady Vikings have lost to some talented teams each year. “I think it’s a great compliment to our kids and shows they are playing hard and not losing to teams we’re not supposed to lose to,” Phillips said. “… I feel like every year everybody wants to take a negative stance and I think my kids deserve better than that.” In 2010 the Lady Vikings lost to Kettering Fairmont, who was the top-seeded team in the region and followed that up
with a loss to 22-2 Springboro in 2011. Fairmont - who was ranked 10th in the Division I Associated Press statewide poll at the time - got them again in 2012. The AP No. 3-ranked Centerville Elks eliminated the Lady Vikes this time around. Junior Kelsey Mitchell put up a game-high 28 points in the 71-61 loss March 6 at Wright State while fellow junior Carlie Pogue posted a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, but it was the Elks’ shooting down the stretch that hurt the Vikings. “We ran into a really good Centerville team,” Phillips said. “We didn’t shoot the ball really well in the second half and they did. You have to give a lot of credit to them for making some big shots.” Pogue really provided a big punch for Phillips’ squad down the stretch and during the regular season in which Mitchell missed 15 games due to an ankle injury. The junior center posted double-doubles in five
of the Lady Vikings’ final six games. “Carlie had a tremendous season for us,” her coach said. “… I think she was probably, besides Kelsey, the most consistent player for us (as far as points and rebounds go) every game.” With all the success over the past four seasons, Phillips achieved a first in her career this season. She placed four girls on the All-Greater Miami Conference first or second team. Pogue and Mitchell were first-teamers, while Chelsea Mitchell and the Vikings’ lone senior Emily Roper were named second-team. As Roper heads off to Elon University with a softball scholarship, the Lady Vikings return a squad that will look to get over the hump next season to make a run at a state championship. “I think we’ll be a lot like this year,” Phillips said. “After this group has lost three years in a row, they will be hungry.”
Summit still the team to beat in DIII ONLINE EXTRAS

DAYTON — Summit Country
Day senior and University of Cincinnati commit Kevin Johnson of Westwood walked into the media room following the Silver Knights’ 63-49 win over West Liberty-Salem in the Division III district finals sporting a championship belt (think WWE). The 14-point victory at UD Arena March 7 made one thing clear: Summit is still the champion. Silver Knights’ head coach Michael Bradley bought the belt to let his team know that Summit is still the team to beat. “I wanted the kids to get in their mind frame that we’re the champs...People have to come through Summit if you want to be the champion. It’s an old Ric Flair quote, ‘If you want to be the man you got to beat the man,’” Bradley said.

For Johnson, the belt symbolizes the ultimate goal: A second-consecutive state title: “We just hold the title. We don’t plan on losing any games. We plan on repeating it,” Johnson said; “ (The belt) really to
give our team swagger and that arrogance we fell gives us that oomph on the court.” Being the reigning state champ, Summit is the team at the top of the mountain the opposition is trying to take down,
and Bradley believes the belt helps his squad stay loose as it fights through the tournament. “I think it relaxes them a little bit, but it also puts the attitude in them that once we get off the bus that nobody is going to take this from us,” he said. Bradley said when he played in the NBA, he saw the Detroit Pistons use the tactic, after Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace and Chauncey Billups won the 20032004 title. With the win, Summit set up a regional semifinal match-up against Roger Bacon at Kettering’s Trent Arena March 13. Johnson goes into the contest after scoring a game-high 29 points against Salem. He also grabbed 15 rebounds and
swiped five steals. Junior Antonio Woods added 13 points and five assists in the effort. Back in the state Sweet 16 for the third-consecutive year, Summit is living up to the potential many predicted. The Silver Knights went wire-to-wire by holding the No. 1 spot in the state Associated Press poll all season long. Bradley credited Johnson and Woods, along with experienced varsity veterans Mike Barwick (Forest Park) and Jake Rawlings (Loveland), for helping the program get to a point where it’s expected to contend for a state championship. “It’s changed each year we’ve been here,” Bradley said. “The first year I was here, we weren’t expected to win road games, now we’re almost going undefeated in the regular season and people are expecting you to win a championship again.”

Roger Bacon gets Crusaders’ comeback fell short Summit rematch By Scott Springer

By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com
DAYTON — It’s been about a year, but Roger Bacon junior forward Carlas Jackson still remembers what it was like to lose to Summit Country Day in last season’s Division III regional final. The Spartans lost the game by 10 and Summit went on to win the state title. “We’re still hurt from last year and none of us want that to happen again,” Jackson said. With the Spartans’ 75-50 victory over Madeira at UD Arena March 7, Roger Bacon punched its ticket for the rematch area hoop fans have been clamoring to watch. Summit (24-1) has spent the season ranked No.1in the state Associated Press poll, while Roger Bacon (23-3) was No. 7 in the final listing. With a berth in the state final three wins away, Jackson and company have kept their eyes on the prize. “It’s satisfying (being in the regional semifinals), but we’re not at our goal yet,” he said. We’ve got to keep working to get to state.” Spartans’ coach Brian Neal said being among the final 16 teams left standing is rewarding. “I’ve got to give credit to our guys,” he said. “They work so dag-gone hard. They deserve to be at this point.” Like Jackson, Neal is hopeful the Spartans can reverse last year’s outcome. “We’re going to do what we do. We feel like we’ve got some guys who are tough to match up with…we feel like we’ve got

a system that is tried and true and it’s worked for us,” Neal said. “We’re going to have to hope we have our best defensive effort of the year and we’re going to have to hope they miss some shots because they are great players.” Against Madeira, Jackson scored a game-high 27 points and was 5-of-8 from threepoint territory. For the year, Jackson’s averaged around 15 points per game. Senior Erik Edwards scored 20 points and led the team with eight rebounds. “Erik is playing as good as he’s ever played and I pray it continues,” Neal said of the Silverton resident. Austin Frentsos chipped in 10 points and five assists, while Jake Westerfeld came up with four steals on the defensive end.

DAYTON — His name was Maverick Morgan, 6-foot-10 center from Springsboro. His team was Moeller’s opponent in a Division I district final at the University of Dayton March 9. The Crusaders staff had him scouted precisely, just as they do most of their foes. In the Greater Catholic League, schools prepare to win every step and every second. However, in March the only stat that matters is the final score and often the third month of the year is the cruelest for those who bounce a ball competitively. An early deficit of 14-4 in the first quarter and 30-16 at the half was too much for Moeller to overcome as Springboro held off the Crusaders’ mad secondhalf dash to win 57-56. “Give their kids and their coach credit,” longtime Moeller coach Carl Kremer said. “They really had a great game plan. They got up on us.” Kremer recalled a December game in Florida where Moeller dug such a hole, but there had been no previous occurrence in Ohio. Morgan had nine points in the first half and nine more in the second to lead the Panthers with 18. He also pulled down 11 rebounds. Springboro outrebounded Moeller 32-26 and outshot them 49 to 40 percent. The biggest difference was at the charity stripe where Springboro was 24-32, getting to

State Rep. Ron Maag has proposed raising Ohio’s interstate speed limit to 70 mph. Is this a good idea? Why or why not?
“The legislature should raise the limit if and only if it assures law enforcement agencies have the staffing and commitment to enforce the law strictly (as Arlington Heights has done). Otherwise, interstate speed limits are just a buffer around how fast illegal drivers are willing to speed – a 'suggestion' if you will. Our freeways are like Reed Hartman Highway: drivers cruise at 50 mph or more, but in years I have yet to see Blue Ash's finest pursue anyone for illegal speed on that road.” D.P.
“Yes, absolutely! It is about time that Ohio matches up with all surrounding states. “I'm sure there will be some remaining sections of highway that will need to stay at lower limits, which is fine. However, the vast majority of our interstate highway system is more than capable of handling higher speeds. “In addition, automobile technology such as suspension and braking systems are far better today than years ago when the 65 limit was established. Speed it up, Ohio!” R.W.J.
“Neighboring states have 70 mph speed limits and I haven't heard complaints or concern from law enforcement. “I've traveled through Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Missouri, Alabama, etc., without noticing any problems. Plus

70 seems to be the average speed on I-275 during rush hour.” R.V.
“I do favor raising the speed limit. Other states have done so without a major increase in traffic accidents, and our cars are safer, better engineered than they were 25 years ago when the limit in Ohio was higher. “We are more endangered by all the cars and trucks passing the vehicles that are actually going 65 mph. I would rather have a higher speed limit that is enforced than a low one that is widely ignored by both drivers and law enforcement agencies." J.R.B.
“Is Rep. Ron Maag's proposal to raise Ohio's interstate speed limit to 70 a good idea? Truthfully, no one can predict with accuracy if the simple addition of 5 mph to the speed limit will result in a significant increase in accidents, injuries, and fatalities.
“The difference in speed limits from state to state demonstrates clearly the arbitrariness of such laws, which have been imposed for a number of reasons, including the conservation of fuel. “Back in 1757 in Boston, the speed limit was defined as 'walking pace,' and violators were given a stiff fine. There was a time in the United States (from 1974 to 1987) when the national speed limit was 55 mph. (In 1995, that legislation was totally repealed). “I remember being a little apprehensive when the limit was raised to 65 mph, but I've relaxed since then. However, I am still troubled by the drivers on the interstate who pass me, when I'm doing 65, at a clearly much higher rate of speed. “It's a tough law to enforce universally and uniformly, and to be honest I'd like to see it enforced a little better (except in those places known as 'speed traps.') Bottom line is that Ohio would not be the only state to have a speed limit higher than 65, and I don't see a problem with it. “I'll have to do some further study to find out what Maag's motivation for introducing this legislation was.” Bill B.
“Several studies have shown that high vehicle speed on highways, such as 70 mph, increases traffic accidents and deaths dramatically. It sort of is a no brainer, that speed kills. “Studies have also shown that traveling at any speed over 60 mph vastly increases fuel consumption, often at 25 percent or more. Given the climate of high gas prices, numer-
ous texters and those using cell phones while they drive, plus the importance of trying to wean the United States off of foreign oil, raising the speed limit to 70 mph is an awful idea. “Time consumed by a higher speed of driving gives an earlier arrival time of merely minutes. I would not want to risk my life or the life of my loved ones in such a dangerous environment, would you? “Slow down, get off your phone, stop texting, pay attention, arrive alive, and save money, too." J.B.
“OK, 70 outside of cities is about right, on I-75 trucks go that now, as do autos. Especially use higher limits on interstates in 'cities' like the one near GE that builds their coffers on speeders. State should designate limits in cities, not villages and towns.” Walter
“If State Rep. Maag wants motorists to drive 70 or 75 mph he can just leave the speed limit where it is. If he wants speeds of 75 or 80 he should raise the limit to 70. “However, how raising the speed limit makes Ohio the place where businesses want to settle is beyond me." F.N.
“A moot point. Anyone who has driven an interstate lately knows most of the traffic already exceeds 70 mph. There should be exceptions such as oversize loads, towed vehicles etc. These roads were designed to handle this speed and they once did.” T.J.
Wood fires can be harmful to health While it may be cozy to sit by the fire, consider the effects on air quality before lighting a fire. Wood-burning produces smoke containing fine particles called particulate matter that can affect the lungs and heart. Longterm particulate matter exposure can cause a variety of health issues such as: » aggravated asthma; » decreased lung function; » irregular heartbeat; » development of chronic bronchitis; » increased respiratory symptoms, including irritation of the airways, coughing
and difficulty breathing. If you do choose to use a fireplace, always use dry, well-seasoned wood to Megan reduce the Hummel amount of particulate COMMUNITY PRESS GUEST matter reCOLUMNIST leased. If you are burning outdoors, check with your local fire department to determine your community’s regulations. Where you live may determine whether you

Certain items can never be burned including: » garbage; » materials containing rubber, grease and asphalt; » materials made from petroleum (such as tires, cars and auto parts, plastics, or plastic-coated wire). Open burning pollutes the air we breathe. Even small fires can emit harmful chemicals.

Take control of home energy usage For many homeowners, trying to keep the house warm can be a challenge. Cracks around doors and windows or poor insulation can cause heat to leak from the house. This means the heating system is continually working to warm cool air and energy consumption is much higher than it needs to be. There are many solutions to help stop this cycle of inefficient energy consumption. » Seek out an energy audit, a room-by-room assessment of your home and energy usage, to find where your home loses the most energy. » From the audit, you can address the specific issues that your house poses, such as adding insulation to your attic or sealing cracks around your foundaNina Creech COMMUNITY PRESS tion and duct registers. GUEST COLUMNIST » Do system maintenance on your heating system. An annual checkup from a qualified technician can prevent minor problems from turning into major, costly expenses. » Install a programmable thermostat and set it to accommodate your household’s schedule. By setting the temperature to drop 10 to 15 degrees for eight hours at a time, you can save 5 percent to 15 percent a year on your heating bill, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. For low-income homeowners who cannot seek out these solutions with their own financial means, local nonprofit People Working Cooperatively (PWC) provides weatherization or energy conservation services at no cost. PWC works with homeowners in two ways: First by making their homes more energy efficient through physical changes, and then by educating the homeowner on behavioral changes, such as dialing down the thermostat or unplugging electronics. Both efforts help homeowners take control of their energy usage. While many homeowners think of energy consumption during the winter, PWC offers its energy conservation services year round. Houses that are properly insulated perform better throughout all seasons – be it winter and snowing or summer and blazing. Get started on improving your home’s energy efficiency today. The changes you make to your home can permanently decrease your energy usage. Nina Creech is the vice president of operations for People Working Cooperatively. She manages PWC’s Ohio Office of Energy Efficiency’s Electric Partnership Program, Utility Weatherization, Home Repairs, and Modifications for Mobility Programs.

2 cups all-purpose flour 3 ⁄4teaspoon baking soda 1 ⁄2teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons sugar 1 stick butter, softened 1 ⁄2heaping cup dried cherries, raisins or your favorite dried fruit 1 cup regular sour cream Melted butter for brushing on top
Turbinado sugar for sprinkling on top (optional, but good)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place piece of parchment on cookie sheet and spray parchment. Mix flour, soda, salt, sugar and butter until mixture is crumbly. Add cherries. Toss to combine. This keeps the fruit suspended in the bread. Blend in sour cream. Form into mound-shaped circle about six inches wide and two or so inches tall. Place on cookie sheet and make a cross in the middle. (This is to let the devils out, or is it to keep them from coming in?!) Brush with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 40-50 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Check after 40 minutes.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
Turbinado sugar is golden in color and crystals are large.

served alongside the fish. This is for the reader who loves that slaw and wants to make it at home. I talked to Terry Pettit, who shared this family recipe. “The recipe was from a restaurant that my wife and I owned in the early ‘90s and was developed for that purpose,” Terry told me. I haven’t had time to test paring it down, but here’s a guideline. Start with 1 bag shredded cabbage (12-16 oz.), 1⁄2 cup carrots, 1⁄4 cup red cabbage and enough slaw mix dressing to coat nicely. For the
dressing, I’d start with 2 cups mayo, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1⁄4 cup sugar and a scant teaspoon of celery seeds. I’d go to taste and add more of whatever. I’m thinking I’d like more vinegar, but I haven’t tasted Terry’s slaw at IHM. I would stir in enough dressing to coat the slaw nicely. Here’s Tom’s big batch recipe. Slaw: Mix together and coat with 1 gallon dressing 10 pound bag shredded cabbage 6 cups carrots, shredded 4 cups red cabbage,

Dressing: 6 cups sugar 1 cup clear vinegar 11⁄2gallons mayonnaise 1 ⁄3cup celery seed

Wyoming church hosts ‘Messiah’ On Sunday, March 24, at 4 p.m., as part of the Valley Concert Series, the Chancel Choir of The Presbyterian Church of Wyoming will present parts II and III of Handel’s best-known oratorio. The church sanctuary will reverberate with the music of a chamber orchestra and the voices of the full choir, led by director Bill Seale. The talented soloists will be sopranos Abigail Whittle and Wendy Arroniz, tenor Leland Rowse, and basses Samuel Smith and Tyler Alessi. The church’s organist, Janet Mangels, will be at the harpsichord. More than 270 years ago, it took Handel only 24 days to create the stirring music to the “Messiah.” The text, written by
Charles Jennens, came primarily from the King James Bible. Part I (not included in this concert) corresponds with Advent, Christmas and the life of Jesus. Part II deals with the Passion, and has choruses like “All We Like Sheep Have Gone Astray,” the tenor aria, “Thou Shalt Break Them,” and the famous “Hallelujah Chorus,” during which the audience traditionally stands. Part III is about the Resurrection and includes the beautiful solos, “I Know That My Redeemer Liveth,” “The Trumpet Shall Sound,” and director Bill Seale’s personal favorite, “Worthy Is the Lamb That Was Slain.” The magnificent finale,
the “Amen,” will conclude this concert and will also be sung by the choir at the Easter Sunday 11:00 service. Those coming to the concert March 24 are being asked to consider bringing items: an enjoyment of music, singing voices (or some facsimile), a copy of the musical score if possible (see below), and a free-will offering to ensure that the Valley Concert Series can continue at such a high level. The Presbyterian Church of Wyoming is at 225 Wyoming Ave., Wyoming, 45224; (513) 8218735. A limited number of copies of the score will be available to borrow at the concert.

Beware of email advertising more about it and then there was, on our credit card statement, a charge for $98 from the company,” Newhouse said. Newhouse immediately emailed the company to complain. The company replied that he couldn’t get his money back because it was past the 14-day trial period, something of which Newhouse was totally unaware. “I would not have bought it. I don’t buy things sight unseen for $98,” he said. Under state law the ad must state the terms and conditions clearly and conspicuously next to the price. But the ad simply said the price of $5.95 and, in small print, said “Terms and conditions apply.” Newhouse wrote back to the company explaining he didn’t see those terms and conditions and the company refunded $49. But remember Newhouse failed to get the jewelry he had ordered for his wife and didn’t want to pay $50 for the man’s bracelet he received. So, Newhouse wrote more emails complaining about having to pay anything for what he received. “I told them I had contacted the Channel 12 Troubleshooter and that I would be having an interview with them. They’ll probably see something on the news about their company,” he said.
Sure enough, the company responded that it had reviewed the situation again and decided to refund him the rest of the money. The Better Business Bureau says it has received 10 complaints about the company in just the three months its been in business. Complaints allege bait-andswitch advertising and unauthorized charges – the same things that happened to Newhouse. The BBB reports the company responded to complaints by giving partial or full refunds. When I called the company I was told there was a more complete disclosure of the terms and conditions on another page as you place your order. So my advice is be careful of offers from unknown companies and carefully check for the terms and conditions. Finally, always use a credit card, never a debit card, when ordering on the Internet. Then, if there’s a problem, you can dispute the charge with the credit card company, something you can not do very easily with your bank once the money has been taken from your account.

Most respites are over a weekend, but one of the family’s favorite respite programs is a longer one called Winter Camp. It’s usually held Dec. 26 to Jan. 1 and includes several days of winter-themed activities culminating in a New Year’s Eve dinner and party. The open house will include a presentation including information on funding sources and financial assistance programs that can make the respites affordable.

I read a study a while back that said 95 percent of email ads sent from unknown companies were just trying to cheat you. After you read what happened to one area man, you may think that study was right on the mark. Tom Newhouse of Sycamore Township received an email shortly before Valentine’s Day. The ad was from a jewelry store and it Howard offered Ain what apHEY HOWARD! peared to be a great deal. “It was an advertisement, I opened it up and read it. It was getting close to Valentine’s and I thought for $5.95 they’re giving away a piece of jewelry. I figured I’d send for this and just have to pay that shipping cost,” Newhouse said. Newhouse ordered a heart-shaped necklace and a few days later a nice box from the company arrived. “When I opened it up I saw it was the wrong thing, so I didn’t even give it to my wife. I just put it in a drawer,” he said. Instead of a heartshaped necklace, the company had sent him a man’s bracelet. “I wasn’t thinking any
