BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Sharonville council reinforcing Chester plan By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Plans to reinvigorate Chester Road past the ongoing Princeton school campus and recently expanded convention center are heading north, where several properties remain vacant. City council is preparing for those plans with an ordinance that would allow Sharonville to take properties through eminent domain, if negotiations warrant the action. The ordinance explains that the action would be for roadway and utility purposes.
“The improvement to Chester Road is a project more than a decade in the making,” Mayor Kevin Hardman said. “The city has the momentum and the economic stability to make a substantial step toward the redevelopment of this corridor. “Portions of private property are necessary to improving the common roadway,” he said. “These infrastructure improvements are directed to increasing the overall value of our newly-branded Northern Lights Corridor and its businesses.” Safety Service Director Ted Mack said negotiations are ongoing, and he didn’t think an ac-
tive force would be needed, though he supports the ordinance. “We are at a point where we cannot have any further delay in this process,” Mack said. Eminent domain gives the power to take private property for public use, with payment to the owner of the property. The first reading of the ordinance took place March 12, with a second reading set for March 26, and a third reading and vote April 9. “While I am confident that private negotiations with the land owners will be fruitful, the city must protect our invest-

ment and city taxpayers,” Hardman said. “Keeping this project on time and on budget is critical. “Therefore, we must ask council to approve court action in the event that negotiations fail. “

Students lick Tootsie Pop mystery By Kelly McBride
See a video of the the Princeton project at Cincinnati.com/video.
kmcbride@communitypress.com
The question has been asked countless times, over many years, but too often, impatience has cut short the answer. How many licks does it take to get to the center of the Tootsie Roll pop? Mr. Owl tried to answer the question in a1970 TV commercial, though he gave in to temptation and bit down on the lollipop after just three licks. Three. That was his answer. Princeton High School teacher Brian Lien has posed the question to students in his Engineering Your Future class. It’s an annual assignment that requires the concepts of STEAM learning to research, design, build, test and present a machine that that will answer the question. In its fifth year, Lien’s assignment has the support of Tootsie Roll. Company President Ellen Gordon sends candy for the students to enjoy as they work, and provides the Tootsie Roll lollipops for the project. Students presented their machines in early March, using Tootsie Pops that are mechanically “licked” as a

students to go into the engineering field,” Lien said. “There’s a huge need for engineering, and right now students don’t understand the field by just taking math or science. “This project is interesting and gives them enough experience of the design process,” Lien said. “They start with a problem statement and work through the entire process, to see how it’s done. “It’s real life experience on a project they can be successful with. “We chose it because it’s fun, inexpensive, and students can really understand the math and science behind the gears and gear ratios, which leads to how to calculate torque,” Lien said. “The can see the practical application of those science and math areas into the application of engineering. “By taking this class, they can realize engineering is fun,” Lien said, “and they can make things better for mankind.” For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/local.

Evendale in-home daycare could expand Council keeps type A in village code
She already has a license for a type B daycare, which allows her to care for up to six children in her home at 4015 Glendale-Milford Road. Looking to expand her business, Claypool applied for a type A, but was denied by Evendale. The type A license would permit her to care for up to 12 children at a time, which would allow her to hire an employee. Evendale’s code allows for up to eight kids in a residential district, meaning she would have to apply for the type A license, but would be lim-

As unlikely as many believe it to be, larger inhome daycares aren’t ruled out for Evendale. Councilmembers opposed deleting type A inhome daycares as a classification from the code of ordinances. The question was raised in July, when Theresa Claypool asked the village to approve her application for a type A daycare license.

ited. Until she is granted a variance by the village, she can’t apply to the state for the license. After being denied, Claypool took up the issue with council, and it agreed to review it with the other amendments being considered for the village’s code revision. The amendment to delete type A in-home daycares from Evendale’s code was presented at the March 13 council meeting, which would have prohibited the possibility of the license for a business within the village. She asked for a com-

that deleting a type A inhome daycare classification from the code would be micromanaging and stifling her ability to expand her business. “We can play ‘what if’ all day long, but it’s probably not going to happen,” she said. Councilman Chris Schaefer said that several retired residents have approached him expressing concern that having more children at the home would disrupt the peace and quiet of the neighborhood, where they spend much of their time.
In the end, council split the vote, forcing Mayor Don Apking to break the tie. His negative vote prevented the amendment from passing, meaning Claypool can still apply for a type A in-home daycare license for within Evendale. However, councilmembers approved a policy requiring an in-home daycare to be 1,000 feet from another residence.

She added that she plans on adding a fence to her yard, as well as several large trees to reduce the noise that neighbors could hear from kids playing outside. “If anyone is bending over backwards (for this license), it’s me,” she said.

years ago. Deborah served on the Wyoming School Board for 16 years and was president for one year. She is the CEO of Families Forward, a United Way Agency. Jacob was featured in the March 6 Tri-County Press. He majors in business administration at Ohio Dominican University in Columbus making his parents proud of his academic achievements.

As he said, “No matter how brilliant and successful, you always need someone to show you your blind spots.” James has become more involved since his retirement from 32 years at P&G. Past chair of Men and Women’s Day at St. Simon Church, he was chosen Man of the Year twice for all his hard work. He was on the church’s vestry for six years and has always shown remarkable energy and compassion in numerous church activities, but is especially focused on the children. Men of the Valley will host a Vegas Night fundraiser to assist the outreach efforts of St. Simon Church. As part of that outreach, the church sponsors drug

Glendale honors Thacker for service to fire department By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
A former fire official who left his mark on Glendale as chief, and has continued to leave his signature as an instructor for new members, was honored by Village Council and the community. Mayor Ralph Hoop read a proclamation honoring Fire Chief Emeritus Tom Thacker, who began with the department in 1982. The proclamation outlined training courses Thacker had completed at his own expense, earning certifications in fire fighting, emergency medical technician and fire inspector. He was appointed fire chief in May 1996, and served as chief until December 2000, when he was required to step down for medical reasons.

“Tom’s dedication to the village was profoundly demonstrated when he declined to accept his fire chief’s salary so that two weekday part-time firefighters could be hired,” Hoop read in the proclamation. To honor Thacker, the fire department and members of the commu-
nity held a reception after the Village Council meeting on March 4, at which former Fire Chief Dave Moore stepped down and new Fire Chief Kevin Hardwick was sworn in. For more about your community, visit Cincinnati.com/Glendale.

Photos show life along the Loop By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
As diverse as the rivers, lakes and oceans they traveled were the experiences Alan Lloyd an his wife, Jean, enjoyed on their travels of the Great Loop over the past decade. The Milford couple will share their photos March 22, the fourth of eight presentations by local photographers of the Photography Club of Greater Cincinnati.
The Lloyds travel about three or four months each year, and have explored waterways on their 33-foot boat, from Chicago to the Florida Keys, and up the East Coast to New York City and Canada, returning to Chicago to complete the 6,000-mile Great Loop. They navigated rivers, canals, lakes and oceans, cruising the Loop three times, and now working on their fourth.

“What struck us most about this was the variety of experiences,” Lloyd said. “We travel along various waterways from calm rivers and canals to the Great Lakes, where we are sometimes out of sight of land, or prey to the weather.” They visited places ranging from New York and Chicago to small villages with family restaurants and local festivals, to picturesque anchorages with no trace of human life. He will share those experiences through his photos at the Sharon Woods presentation. “I would like my viewers to appreciate that such a great route is possible,” Lloyd said, “and hundreds of ‘loopers’ make the circuit every

Princeton students win art awards By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Several Princeton students have received awards at the annual Regional Scholastics Art Competition. The students from Princeton High School and Princeton Community Middle School were honored at a ceremony Feb. 22 at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center. The artwork was exhibited at Madison Place. The awards of several art media included painting, sculpture, photography and mixed media. Gold Key Award winners will be judged at the national level. Diana Mikitin was awarded a Gold Key for “Ready For Battle,” in the photography category. She began experimenting with photography this academic year, during AP Studio Art class, Princeton High School art teacher Lindsay Holliday said. Mikitin, who came to the United States from the Ukraine in 1999, dabbled in drawing as a child. Holliday said she approaches visual design problems in unique and surprising ways, citing the theme of “liquid” as the Gold Key Photograph theme. “Diana’s work is always very thoughtful and high quality,” Holliday said. “She is very committed to creating work that is unique and sophisticated.” Hannah Hales won a Gold Key Award for her painting, titled “Self Portrait.” Hales, a junior at Princeton, painted the watercolor of herself painting a watercolor. “Hannah is passionate about art, an exceptional young artist,

feeling of light,” Holliday said. “She has an artistic eye and is very creative.” Honorable mention awards went to high school students Colette Beard in mixed media for “Still Life of a Chair” and Liliana Flores-Hernandez in painting for “Virgin of Guadalupe.” Honorable mention awards also were awarded to middle school students Frances Breidenstein for her sculpture “Tiger” and to Asa Jaymer for a sculpture titled “Penguin King.” “I am in awe when I see what they create with the information I give them,” art teacher Loni Becker said. “It is hum-

Wyoming lacrosse on the horizon By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com
WYOMING — As the weather
slowly turns, high school lacrosse teams are moving from indoor work to outdoors. The following is a rundown of the lacrosse squads in the Tri-County Press area: Wyoming boys’ sixth-year coach Keith Hughes and his Cowboys are coming off a 7-8 season where they finished fourth. Hughes returns Conner Hughes, James McAllister, Adam Eyman, Frank Barzizza, David Moody and Cameron Cramer as starters. Sophomore John Hughes is also one to watch. Hughes and Barzizza are only sophomores, Eyman, Cramer and McAllister are all juniors. “We are a very young team with a great deal of potential to develop,” Coach Hughes said. “I’m looking forward to seeing that happen throughout the season.” The Cowboys begin their season at Mariemont on April 3. Their home opener is against Milford at 7:30 p.m. April 10. The girls of Wyoming girls were 6-10 a year ago. Wyoming’s new girls coach is Kristen Gilwee, a former Ohio State Buckeye goalie. The Cowboys participated in the Sycamore Playday preseason event on March 9 and won all three matches. In the first game, Wyoming beat Sycamore 5-1 as Carly Levick scored twice and M.J. Fischer, Maggie Hughes and Adi Smith had goals. Assists were by Claire Crawford and Fischer. Game No. 2 was a 6-1 win over Walnut Hills. Adi Smith had a pair of goals and Levick, Becky Denson, Sophia Abrams also scored. Haley Stewart had an assist. The third game was a 5-1 win over Fenwick with Smith and Levick both scoring twice and Reilly Simmons adding a goal. Assists were by Denson, Crawford, Marta Stewart and Haley Stewart. The Cowboys start off at Kings on April 2. Their home opener is April 6 against Sum-
mit Country Day.
Ursuline
The Lady Lions return after posting a 10-6 mark last season under head coach Todd Vollmer. Ursuline begins at Anderson March 22, and plays rival St. Ursula in its second match of the year April 4.
Moeller
The Crusaders finished 12-8 last season under fifth-year coach Nate Reed. Moeller returns seven starters including senior captains Quinn Collison, Nolan Frey and Dom Starvaggi. Senior goalie Alex Burgdorf is back as is junior midfielder Sam Hubbard. Hubbard has committed to Notre Dame for lacrosse, but also has several football suitors. Also committed for the Crusaders is Collison to Bucknell, Kreig Greco to Dartmouth, Burgforf to Quinnipiac and junior David Stugris to Robert Morris. “We return a number of starters and talented young players that have a lot of experience and work well together,” Reed said. Notable this season for Moeller is attacker Collison closing in on becoming one of the top five scorers. Also this is the 25th anniversary of Moeller lacrosse - the first high school program in Cincinnati.
St. Xavier
With eight of their 10 starters back from a year ago, things are looking up for second-year coach Nate Sprong and the St. Xavier Bombers’ lacrosse team. Senior Ian King – who will play at Michigan next season – is back following an All-American season in 2012 in which he led his team in scoring. “He makes my job easier,” Sprong said of King. “In addition to being a great scorer, he is a great feeder. He helps make his teammates better players.” Joining King as a team captain are fellow seniors Ryan Berning, Parker Greiwe and Benny Russert. Berning – a defensemen – will play at Richmond next season, while
Greiwe will play defense for Holy Cross in 2014. Russert is a four-year starter in goal and provides rare stability seen in high school sports these days in net. “It’s reassuring for everyone having someone back there basically as a coach of the field who can direct the defense besides being a great stopper,” Sprong said of his goalie. “It’s definitely a confidence booster.” After bowing out in the Division I state quarterfinals last season, Sprong is hoping for more in 2013. “… We are trying to focus on the fundamentals and hopefully we pay attention to the details and the big picture falls into place by the end of the year,” the coach said. “We are optimistic and have an excited group coming back.” The Bombers get things started April 6 against Western Reserve High School.
CHCA boys
At CHCA, coach Brandon Sammons fields an athletic midfield paired with an attack that should put points on the scoreboard. At midfield, Sammons, who is entering his second season, will look for contributions from Nick Marsh, James Gravely and Conner Reynolds. Attackmen Cam Kennedy and Ayrton Kazee should be key offensive players to watch. The defense should be aided with returning starters Kevin Degroft (defender) and Conner Kirbabas (goalie) back on the field this spring. CHCA competes at the Division II level and opens the season against the Dayton Lacrosse Club April 3.
CHCA girls
Catie Hornsby begins her first season of coaching the Eagles as the program continues to grow. According to Hornsby, many of the girls playing this year are playing the sport for the first time in high school. CHCA competes at the Division II level and opens the season at Little Miami April 2.
KETTERING — Sometimes winning the second championship is harder than getting the first. Summit Country Day found that out during its 61-53 loss to Roger Bacon in the regional semifinals at Kettering Fairmont’s Trent Arena March 13. The Silver Knights, which included Springdale resident MaCio Teague, won’t hoist another trophy, but coach Michael Bradley said he is proud of how far the program has come the past few years. In that span, Summit won
the Division III 2012 state title, three district and league championships, while also spending considerable time at the top of state and local polls. “It’s another great year,” Bradley said. “These guys have strung together some of the best seasons Summit’s ever had and I think they’ve done a great job. They really turned the program around.” Senior guard Kevin Johnson has been at the forefront of the Silver Knights’ run to the city’s elite basketball ranks. When Jonson was a freshman, Summit went 10-9. Bradley arrived in 2011, and with Johnson and Antonio Woods in his backcourt, the Silver Knights have gone 71-7 since. Johnson was constantly in foul trouble in his varsity finale, and struggled to find any offensive rhythm, scoring See SCD, Page A7

Roger Bacon’s ‘comeback year’ dedicated to Corcoran By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com
KETTERING — After knock-
ing off top-ranked Summit Country Day en route to the Division III regional finals three days earlier, Roger Bacon High School came within a minute of punching its ticket for the state final four. But it wasn’t meant to be, as Versailles outlasted the Spartans 56-53 at Trent Arena March 16. The lead changed 11 times, but the Spartans couldn’t close the game out in the final minutes. While up 51-49, Roger Bacon looked like it was about to come up with key steal. Instead, the ball found its way into the hands of Versailles senior Chad Winner, who launched a deep 3-pointer—a shot Spartans’ coach Brian Neal estimated at 28 feet. Roger Bacon answered when Carlas Jackson, who had a game-high 20 points, hit two free throws to put the Spartans up 53-52. With 30 seconds to play, Versailles came out of timeout and worked some clock before scoring with 13 seconds left. Roger Bacon turned the ball

over and was forced to foul. Versailles cashed in both free throws to go up three with 3.5 seconds to play. Carlas Jackson shot a desperation 3-pointer to no avail. “When they are making 28foot bombs on broken plays and we’re missing layups, it’s really one of those things, is it really not meant to be?” Neal said. “You know, you look back, would of, could of, should of, and they made a couple more plays than we did.” Roger Bacon ended the season 24-4 and ranked No. 7 in the Associated Press’ Division III statewide poll. The 24 victories are tied for second most in school history, according to Neal. Senior Jake Westerfeld said the team devoted the season to athletic director Joe Corcoran, who died Feb. 13. “Our season, first of all…will be dedicated to him,” Westerfeld said. After the game, Neal said See BACON, Page A7

he was hurting for his team and school, because the Roger Bacon community had been through a lot with Corcoran’s death. Basketball served as an outlet that rallied the school. “…Playing basketball…and competing with a chance to go to Columbus, certainly kind of (energized) the school,” Neal said. “I don’t know if it was a remedy, but it helped,” Westerfeld added that it was a “comeback year,” as the Spartans beat many of the teams it lost to last season, with victories over Summit and GCL rival Alter standing out. Summit ended Roger Bacon’s season in last year’s regional final. “(Summit) was probably one of the great wins we’ve had, and Alter, because they are still in (the tournament),” Westerfeld said. Neal said he’ll remember the members of the 2012-2013 squad fondly, but knows history remembers the teams that win the big one. “Losing in the regional finals, it’s hard to swallow,” he said.

group - him, Brett Tepe and Jake Rawlings - they’ve done a heck of a job and they’ve put Summit back on the map.” Johnson’s career at Summit is over, but the Silver Knights should continue to be contenders in the foreseeable future. Woods, who has started since he was a freshman, had a game-high 18 points in the Roger Bacon loss. He averaged 14.1 points and 3.7 assists and has basketball scholarship offers from Division I programs, such as Kent State and Miami (not to mention

Universal preschool providing a difference
From birth until age 5, a child’s brain develops more than at any other period in life. The beginning years of a child’s life are critical for building the foundation for success later in school. In this country, just three in 10 4-year-olds are enrolled in high-quality programs that prepare young children with the skills necessary for kindergarten. The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development estimated the U.S. ranks 28th out of 38 countries for the share of four-year-olds enrolled in early childhood education.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Rocca family says thanks
A great big thank you to the Wyoming community, Wyoming School family and Gregg Rocca family for their tremendous support of the benefit dinner, for the Gregg Rocca San Antonio Sija Library, Guatemala. Once more, the generosity of the Wyoming community exceeded all expectations, and $9,000 will be donated to the library. The level of support by the Wyoming School families, staff, Gregg’s extended family, and the Church of the Ascension and Holy Trinity was remarkable. However, none of this would have been possible without the hard work and generosity of the Wyoming LaRosa’s staff and the Westendorf family. The depth of love, caring and respect for Gregg Rocca, Wyoming Primary Schools counselor, who passed away Feb. 10, was demonstrated in the outpouring of support for the benefit dinner. We thank you.

Home visiting programs enable nurses, social workers, and other professionals to connect families to services and educational support that improves a child’s health, development and ability to learn.

In our hometown, United Way of Greater Cincinnati’s “Success by Six” program is pushing to get Hamilton County’s low-

CH@TROOM March 13 question Do you agree with the Transportation Security Administration’s new rules that will allow airplane passengers to bring pocketknives, golf clubs and other sports items aboard, loosening some of the restrictions created after the Sept.11 terror attacks? Why or why not?
“I join with all of the major U,S, airlines, the Federal Air Marshals Service, the Airline Pilots Association, the Flight Attendants Union and the TSA Screeners Union in objecting to the change in policy allowing knives on planes. It is sheer folly. Even at the limit of 2.36 inches a knife of this size is enough to inflict serious injury to flight crew and passengers alike. The new policy is designed to change the focus of screeners less on objects that TSA director Pistole feels would not bring down a plane and more on 'catastrophic perils.’ He is dead wrong on this one. Focusing on 'catastrophic perils' appears to me to be way above their pay grade. But a two-inch blade is certainly enough to cause a catastrophic situation.” J.V.
“When the rules first went into effect some of the airports would provide mailers so that forgetful folks (like me) could send their favorite pocket knife back to themselves – at their own cost, of course. This process was discontinued and in spite of my best efforts I lost a couple of items that meant a lot to me. “The whole Homeland Security process could be simplified and altered so as not to keep millions of people waiting extensively. If they simply had a reminder at the check-in counter before you send your bags to be loaded it would solve a lot of the problem. “Other countries manage to control terrorism without subjecting their citizens to the abuses of the U.S. process. All our process does is feed into the cultural paranoia which allows the NRA to go on selling guns to people who wind up shooting their family or themselves, diverts billions of dollars from more productive use and generally degrades our quality of life. “I suppose a trivial loosening is a step in the right direction, however small it may be.” N.F.
“The 9-11 suicide terrorists successfully used box cutters because no one suspected the horror of their goals. Once it was known the passengers on one plane overpowered those wielding the box cutters, but it was too late. “It is ridiculous to think that passengers and flight crews can now be coerced by someone with a small pocket knife or golf club.” R.V.
“I have to wonder what was driving this decision. I don't recall a big public outcry over the inability to bring a 9 iron or pocketknife on a plane. “The flight attendants and airline professionals seem to be against this decision, so I would think their opinion should carry the day. “In the meantime, why doesn't the TSA look at doing something that would actually make air travel more convenient, such as allowing a full-size tube of toothpaste or more than a drop of shampoo in our carry on luggage?”
NEXT QUESTION Will Sen. Rob Portman’s support of gay marriage affect his political standing within the Republican Party? How? Will it cause other party leaders to rethink their position? Every week we ask readers a question they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answers to tricountypress@communitypress.com with Chatroom in the subject line.
“I think most of the TSA rules, beyond scanning bags and requiring people to pass through a metal detector, fail to offer any meaningful protection. For example, removal of shoes – most foreign countries do not require this. In the hands of a determined terrorist a pen is as dangerous a weapon as a penknife." J.R.B.
“Knives? No. “Golf clubs? How in the world would those fit in the overhead?” J.K.
“Do I agree with the TSA's proposed relaxation of rules regarding carry-on items? With regard to pocket knives and things of that nature, absolutely not. Remember that the Islamic terrorists used simple box-cutters and like instruments to accomplish their horrible deeds on 9/11. “As to golf clubs, my gosh, why can't you check those as baggage?” Bill B.
“You can stab someone to death with a ballpoint pen. Umbrellas are allowed. Think about how many pieces of sharp metal they contain if disassembled. A broken laptop screen in a gloved hand becomes a jagged knife. The TSA is concentrating on things that can bring down the whole plane. “My understanding is that every other country allows small knives on board so we are coming up to international standards. On a recent flight to Buenos Aires, LAN airlines gave us metal knives with our dinner.” F.S.D.
“No I do not. Maybe if they loosened their grips on after shave, lotions, and other toilet articles, that would be OK with me. But to allow small pocket knives with blades under two inches to be brought on board is asking for trouble. Remember, the box cutters used during the 9-11attacks were at the max in length of one inch, and look at the damage which was done.” O.H.R.
“Since the air marshals, flight attendants, pilots, etc. are all against it, so am I. It doesn't make any sense. Next the NRA will insist on their right to bear arms on planes. “We have to enforce restrictions on society if it is to survive. With over 300 million souls it would not be unthinkable that there are those nutty enough to do damage to the right to life. I for one am willing to leave my pen knife in my drawer at home.” J.Z.

Love in the air at St. Joseph Home
T
he residents of St. Joseph Home are experts at expressing love. This Valentine’s Day, and every day, the smiles from the 48 residents and many respite guests of the home expressed to caregivers an unconditional, genuine love. Though the people who live at St. Joseph Home may not be able to scrawl their name on a valentine or sing a love song, they have found other ways to communicate and show their feelings. St. Joseph Home is a nonprofit residence and respite center for children and adults who have severe to profound developmental disabilities. During the month of February, several volunteer groups spent some time at St. Joseph Home preparing for and celebrating Valentine’s Day. A group of volunteers from Robert Half International helped residents craft valentine cards to share with other residents and their families. These creative volunteers even donated craft materials, and then worked hand-over-hand to cut, glue and decorate original valentines. Staff and families of St. Joseph Home purchased Candy Grams as a way to raise funds for St. Joseph Home’s activities department. More than 600 candygrams were sold for $1 each. A special Valentine’s Day Dance party was held at St. Joseph Home’s Seton Hall Feb. 20. Volunteers from Ursuline Academy and from Northern Kentucky University’s Phi Sigma Sigma sorority assisted at the party. “I think this party was the most fun we’ve ever had,” said Dan Connors, vice president of programming at St. Joseph Home. “Just one example – Madison was surrounded by three high school students all evening, giving high fives and laughing together, and enjoyed hanging out with her peers.” “Having volunteers who are the same age as many of our residents was really fun,” said Amy McMahill, volunteer coordinator. Volunteers gleefully pushed residents in wheelchairs

around the room as they danced to a mix of songs chosen by staff. Each resident was given a red rose, and lots of love. Kira Hinkle, community service coordinator for Ursuline Academy, leads a group of regular Ursuline volunteers at St. Joseph Home: “Our students at Ursuline have been moved to the core from their experiences volunteering at St. Joseph Home. It is a wonderful feeling to walk out the door of St. Joseph Home after an evening of volunteering and to hear the girls chatting
with one another about the residents. In just a few short months our girls have formed true relationships and bonds with many of the residents at St. Joseph Home. They look forward to seeing them each visit and are thrilled when their closest St. Joseph Home friends arrive to a scheduled activity. “I’ve found that it is often the little things that show this true connection that has been made – when one of the home’s residents arrived at the Valentine’s Day Dance our girls
greeted her with, 'Oh no! You jut missed the DJ playing Justin Bieber!' as they all know she is an avid fan. It’s through connections, and through meeting and getting to know people from all walks of life that we can break down stereotypes and bring more love into this world. “St. Joseph’s Home epitomizes that reality – and our girls have experienced more love, and broken down more stereotypes through their monthly visits than I could ever have imagined. I am blessed to
participate in this program, and our students are blessed to participate in this program. One of my students ran into me in the hallway and exclaimed, 'St. Joseph’s Home visits are my favorite day of the month!' with a huge smile on her face. How can it get any better than that?” “Our volunteers always tell me that they receive so much more than they give when they come here,” McMahill said. “I know they went home that evening feeling very loved by our residents.”
Evendale, Wyoming girls earn Gold Awards
Thirteen young ladies from Southwest Ohio were honored March 10 at the Girl Scout Gold Award ceremony which kicked Girl Scout Week. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award that Girl Scouts in grades nine to 12 may earn. The efforts put forth to earn this award express a special commitment by the recipient to herself, her community and her future. The required steps for this award are chosen to help Girl Scouts develop 21st century skills, practice leadership, explore a need in the community and the world, and learn more about themselves. Some criterion for the girls’ project includes community involvement outside of the Girl Scout structure, being innovative, project sustainability and taking action to educate and inspire others. Approximately 6 percent of Girl Scouts nationwide earn this award. At least 80 hours have been dedicated to a project over a time span of one to two years. Girl Scout Gold Award recipients include: Stephanie Allaire (Evendale), Kristen Bisig
(Loveland), Lauren Crall (Loveland), Cassidy Duckett (Franklin), Catherine Elsaesser (Wyoming), Jeanette Gourley (Waynesville), Madison Hartshorn (Waynesville), Stacey Marshall (Colerain Township), Kristy Martini (Sunman, IN), Tyler Poirier (Hyde Park), Meghan Kate Tegtmeier (Loveland), Jessica Ann Wells (Guilford, IN) and Clara Young (Waynesville). A look at the Tri-County Press-area Gold Award winners:
Stephanie Allaire
Evendale resident Mount Notre Dame High School senior “Chords for a Cause” Allaire Volunteering at Melodic Connections, a music therapy organization, gave Allaire the idea to help promote the nonprofit’s wonderful outcomes for people with disabilities. She had wanted to know more about music therapy and being that it is a newer profes-
sion, she figured there were others who also wanted to know more about it too. Allaire set to work orchestrating an awareness concert for Melodic Connections and an information table at her high school for students interested in volunteering. She organized this concert, “Chords for a Cause,” at the Sharonville Arts Center that featured local musicians and the students at Melodic Connections. Her recruitment of high school volunteers had an overwhelming response and additionally brought people to the concert to learn more about music therapy – 225 of them! She created marketing materials for Melodic Connections, a volunteer database and brought awareness to the benefits that music therapy provides to the community. A 13-year Girl Scout, Allaire is a Bronze Award and Marian Medal recipient. She is an avid musician who likes to write her own music, play piano and guitar, and sing in the May Festival Youth Chorus and the St. Michael Adult Chorus. She be-
longs to National Honor Society and a theater group at her high school. She plans to study music therapy at Ohio University or the University of Louisville this fall.
Catherine Elsaesser
Wyoming High School senior “Voices: Hearing Girls’ Stories” Passionate about writing Elsaesser and poetry, Elsaesser wanted to turn her love for written expression into a life-changing experience for middle-school girls targeted by the Wyoming Youth Services Bureau. Elsaesser became a certified teacher for writing classes through Women Writing for a Change, and brought her knowledge and expertise to the project by creating lesson plans for a two-hour long class every week for six weeks during the summer. She recruited friends and classmates to facilitate the classes each week using her lesson plans. This resulted in a group of young wom-
en getting the chance to reflect, write, craft and participate in an experience that would not have otherwise been available to them were it not for her project. To cap off the experience, Elsaesser typed an anthology of the writing pieces from class participants that she distributed to Wyoming Youth Services Bureau to share with the community. Volunteer facilitators now have lesson plans that will continue to be utilized in the future to involve even more young women in writing circles that foster friendship and the sharing of one’s voice. Elsaesser is an 11-year Girl Scout who has earned the Girl Scout Bronze Award. She is the recipient of the Wyoming Latin Academic Commitment Award, and is a member of National Honor Society as well as the Latin Honor Society. She participates in varsity golf, Latin Club, the school newspaper, Project LEAD (a service organization) and Generations Together. She plans to study hotel administration and dietetics this fall at either Cornell University or Indiana University.

LIFE
MARCH 20, 2013 • TRI-COUNTY PRESS • B3
Rita shares Passover brisket, glazed berry tart One of my most memorable catering jobs was preparing a Seder supper for a Jewish family. The research I had to do was daunting since I knew almost nothing about this holy ceremony. I knew the Seder, or Passover meal, relived the story of the Israelites’ deliverance from bondage in Egypt. I knew too the term Passover meant that the angel of death “passed over” those doorposts marked with lamb’s blood, so that the firstborn Rita son would Heikenfeld not be RITA’S KITCHEN slain. My knowledge about what foods to serve was just about nil, so you can imagine the time spent in learning! One of the recipes I used was this one for brisket.
Delicious Passover brisket
Adapted from Zel Schulman’s book “Let My People Eat!” I love this brisket. I like to make mine in a slow cooker. 3 pounds brisket 1 12 oz. bottle chili sauce 1 ⁄2cup dark brown sugar, packed or bit more to taste 1 10 oz. can beef broth 1 really large onion, sliced 1 ⁄4teaspoon ground cloves 2 bay leaves
at least 2-4 hours. Spoon into tart shell, smoothing top. Fruit topping: About 3 cups fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc. are good)
Arrange on top of tart, and then glaze. Glaze: Mix together and heat until warm. 1 ⁄3cup apricot preserves 1 tablespoon honey
Brush or pour on top of berries.
Tips from readers’ kitchens
Glazed Three-Berry Tart is a stunning recipe for a holiday dinner or any time you want to have a special dessert that looks a lot harder to make than it is. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD
Put everything in sprayed slow cooker and cook on low 8-10 hours or until tender. Or bake, covered, in preheated 325 degree oven for about 50 minutes per pound. Remove bay leaves.
Glazed Three-Berry Tart
I consider recipes people share with me “food gifts.” And I usually can’t wait to make it for myself and then share with you. That’s how I feel about this tart. I first tasted this at daughter-in-law Jess’ home. She got the recipe
from her friend, Amy Obermeyer. This is a stunning recipe for a holiday dinner or any time you want to have a special dessert that looks a lot harder to make than it is. It does require a tart pan. I’ve adapted the recipe only slightly. Preheat oven to 350. Tart shell: Approximately 9 soft coconut macaroon cookies, crumbled fine (2 cups) 1 cup ground pecans 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Combine macaroons, pecans and butter and

Since its beginnings in 1920, the year that women gained the right to vote, LWV has been a non-partisan organization dedicated to education about candidates and issues. MacNamara described the organization’s goal as “ensuring an electoral process that is open to all, and is free, fair and accessible.” The LWV of the Cincinnati Area uses money from its Education Fund to create and distribute educational publications, including They Represent Us, an annual directory of public officials in Hamilton County, and The Who and What of Elections, a voter’s guide of candidates for office and ballot issues. The Cincinnati Area LWV’s voter education program also includes providing a speakers bureau with representatives from both sides of an issue and voter registration efforts to ensure that all eligible persons can participate in elections. Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory and Chris Monzel, president of the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners, proclaimed Saturday, Feb. 23, as Elisabeth MacNamara Day .
