Teen alcohol use surveyed By Kelly McBride
Volume 27 Number 37 © 2011 The Community Press ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
PRESS
After the tragic death of a Wyoming teen last year, the city set up a task force to examine teenage use of alcohol and develop strategies to deal with teen drinking. And while the task force hasn’t found that there has been an increase in adolescent drinking, a survey was conducted to collect data from members of the community as well as parents, to assess attitudes about the issue. “This was not to put people into an alarm or panic mode, but it’s an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed in Wyoming or any other community,” said Kimberly Hauser, executive director of Wyoming Youth Services Bureau.
“There’s a continual need to re-educate the c o m m u n i t y, ” she said. “At Youth Services, our goal is to support families.” Hauser The task force is made ups of: Police Chief Gary Baldauf; Lt. Rusty Herzog, Hauser, Mary Killen of Wyoming City Schools, parents Dana Irvine, Jessica Kahn and Kristen Knoebber, and Ann Taylor of the Wyoming Parent School Association. The survey was conducted throughout March. It was a confidential, online survey to which the community was invited to respond. Questions concentrated on the
overall concern about teen drinking, making social host ordinances stronger, and consequences for adults and teens who violate the law. Those who responded were also asked to suggest ideas about programs to decrease the use of alcohol by teens. Coincidentally, the survey concluded just before an April 9 birthday party in Wyoming in which 19 adults under age 21 and nine juveniles were charged with underage drinking. “The survey that we based ours on was the Youth Access to Alcohol survey, developed by the Alcohol Epidemiology program at the University of Minnesota,” Kahn said. “This is a survey designed to assess adults’ knowledge and attitudes about use of alcohol among
youth, alcohol-related policies, and enforcement issues. “The reason we chose this survey was that it was a carefully developed, validated national survey instrument and because it provides national data on which our community could benchmark our own survey data,” she said. Data have not yet been analyzed, but after the task force reviews the information, Kahn said the group plans to share results with the community, and ask for feedback.

Vikings learn fun is variable of physics By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Students in Chris Anderson’s Princeton High School class are studying the basics of physics. Concepts. Equations. So how does that factor into their futures? With the help of five professionals, just a couple of years out of college, Anderson showed his students exactly what their lives could look like if they stick to their physics curriculum. The five engineers, all in their early 20s, work at General Electric Aviation and Procter & Gamble. They work in variations of engineering, but they have one thing in common. Physics. Kelly Van Haren is on the team that decides what Tide, Bounce, Gain and other products smell like. It was a combination of chemical engineering and food science that she uses in her job at P&G. T.J. Kell works at GE, where he is a design engineer focusing on combustion and its impact on the design of hardware for airplanes. His work deals with temperature, vibrations and combustion. Nick Dodds has an electrical engineering background, and at GE, his work involves the controls of the engine to determine how high an airplane flies. Nelson Robles’ expertise is on the repair side, helping to develop new technology. For Matt Fay, who studied aerospace engineering in college, it started in first-grade. “I liked space and planes, and I was good in math and science,”
“If you’re curious to see stuff and see how it works, that’s science. It’s about problem solving.” Kelly Van Haren, P&G employee he said. That interest and skill helped lead him to engineering. It was similar for Kell, who would take things apart, examine them and then “learn how to do those things smarter and better.” “If you’re curious to see stuff and see how it works, that’s science,” Van Haren said. “It’s about problem solving.” Fay illustrated those concepts learned in high school. Concepts of high pressure and low pressure. Heat and cold. He did it with a hair dryer and ping pong balls. The low pressure kept the ball atop the column of hot air. A cardboard tube placed over the dryer created high pressure, sucking up the ball and popping it out the top. Fay challenged a student to balance three balls in the low pressure column. It took a few tries, but one student was able to do it. It was physics. And it was fun. And that’s what Anderson wants his students to keep in mind as they learn high school physics.

Wyoming primary schools have new leader By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Wyoming students will start the upcoming school year with a new administrator. Jennifer Klein, currently the principal at Woodland Elementary in the Lakota School District, has Klein been hired by the district’s board of education as principal of Elm, Hilltop and Vermont Primary Schools in Wyoming. She succeeds Robert Carovillano, who is retiring
after 31 years as principal of the three schools. Klein has four years of administrative experience. Before that, she worked as an instructional specialist in the Northwest Local School District, and has taught in the Forest Hills and Norwood school districts. Klein earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary education from the College of Mount St. Joseph, and a master’s degree in educational leadership from Miami University.
“Mrs. Klein brings well-rounded and varied experiences to this position,” Wyoming Superintendent Gail-Kist Kline said. “With 19 years of experience, she is a strong educational leader with a focus on student achievement, curriculum development and implementation, intervention strategies for at-risk students, and staff development.” Klein was introduced during the April 25 school board meeting. “I feel honored to be joining the community,” she said to board members, “and honored to be joining this team.”

document. “This award is important to our community for a number of reasons,” Police Chief Gary Baldauf said later. “First, it recognizes Officer Dale Hahn, on a personal level, for his continuous commitment to crime prevention and community outreach throughout his law enforcement career.” As resource officer, Hahn coordinates and implements many of the department’s community programs. They include the Citizen’s Police Academy, Junior Police Camp and the National Night Out event, as well as home security surveys to protect against burglaries and thefts. Hahn also was elected president of the Ohio Crime Prevention Association for 2011-2012, “reflecting highly on the Wyoming Police Department and its members by providing a
professional recognition of our overall efforts to educate and involve our residents in maintaining and improving the quality of life in our community,” Baldauf said. Hahn said the award meant a lot to him, coming from the Ohio Crime Prevention Association, of which he has been a member since the 1980s. “Coming from a small department, it isn’t easy to be actively involved in a statewide organization because of the time commitment and being away from the department at least once a month,” Hahn said. “Wyoming allowed me the time in 2010 to run for a board officer position and again in 2011,” he said. “Getting this award and being voted president in the same year means a lot. “As a police officer, you do your job daily, to the best of your abilities,” he said. “You do it because it is important to yourself and the community in which you work. “It is a job you do without expecting recognition,” Hahn said. “The fact that someone took the time to say thank you for the job you do means a lot to me, as it would any police officer out there doing this job daily.”

Wyoming rain garden blooms By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Wyoming celebrated Earth Day with the unveiling of a project that will put into action the awareness the annual observance celebrates. Earth Day focuses on the environment and what threatens it. On April 16, volunteers showed other Wyoming residents how a rain garden can bring environmental and financial benefits. The city’s Beautify Wyoming, Urban Forestry Board and Environmental Stewardship Commission, along with Metropolitan Sewer District, have created rain garden that will help keep stormwater runoff out of the sewer system. As rainwater runs across impervious surfaces such as rooftops, parking lots or sidewalks, it flows into the area built on a slight depression and filled with plants

The Wyoming rain garden project was completed through the leadership of, from left: Debbie Clark of the Environmental Stewardship Commission, Nancy Ellwood of Metropolitan Sewer District, Todd Wales of the Urban Forestry Board and Bobbi Strangfeld of the Beautify Wyoming Commission. that have deep root systems to help filter the rain into the water table. That has two benefits, according to Bobbi Strangfeld of Beautify Wyoming. “Our goal is to relieve the sewer system of the extra water that takes its toll,” she said of the added wear and tear that the water mains bear. “It also helps replenish the watershed,” Strangfeld said. At the high school, all of the water from the east side of the building will be funneled into the rain garden,
which was put to the test during a demonstration Saturday. When it rains, water will gush from the culvert and push into the rain garden space. The garden will pond, and within 24 hours, the water will sink into the ground to help replenish the underground reserve. Strangfeld said she hopes the demonstration will encourage residents to create their own rain gardens, and become volunteers to help maintain the one at the high school. The 1,500 square-foot rain garden will capture
water draining from 42,420 square feet of roof, 80,570 square feet of pavement and 67,550 square feet of lawn. The two-year project was made possible by a $30,000 MSD grant that was used to install the rain garden. “It diverts the water into the ground, where it should go,” Strangfeld said, “And out of the sewer system. “We don’t capture all of it, but we do capture most. “When we take the load off the sewer system, we will begin to stop having to deal with breaks that we have to pay for in our water bills,” she said. “And we will be proving to MSD that green techniques work well,” Strangfeld said. “We don’t need so much infrastructure and expense. “And if we have a healthy aquifer and water shed,” she said, “our drinking water supply won’t be challenged or compromised.”

Princeton students speak out for children’s rights By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
As a project for a Princeton High School communications class, students researched and prepared presentations to share with fellow Vikings. But the message is one that has touched these students, who have even designated it as a ribbon-wearing cause. Lauren Lillenstein’s communications class chose orange ribbons to represent Children’s Rights Awareness Week, which runs through
research these issues using news articles, documentaries, and listening to guest speakers.
May 6. They will present information to various classes on the first day, providing an overview on issues they researched for the project. Each day will focus on a specific challenge to children’s rights, and a bake sale will raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. On Tuesday, the students will focus on education and awareness. Wednesday will emphasize hunger; Thursday’s issue is child abuse and Friday will zero in on child trafficking. The students had to
“Education is the first step to problem solving,” Lillenstein said of the project. “I want them to learn the skills of an advocate,” she said, “to be able to advocate, you have to be knowledgeable about a topic. “You have to be able to discuss tough situations to reach a peak level of communications. I feel they’ve reached that peak level.” Student Jeryd Wilder said, “As a class, we felt that these children needed a voice that could speak out against these violations of their rights,” Students said they were surprised by what they learned, because “this isn’t a topic that’s talked about often,” Sayvon Thompson said. “It’s significant and happening in our own back yard,” he said. “Kids are snatched off the street and forced into prostitution at 13 years old.

Princeton High School students are getting the word out that children have rights, and those rights should be protected. They're sharing that message in a weeklong project for their communications class. turbed that it was happening so close to home. “Some are snatched off their own driveway, after they get of the school bus,” he said. “You would think that once you’re in your own driveway, you’re safe.” Morgan Bullock said he was shocked to learn that some victims are reluctant to speak out and seek help. “I thought they would want to,” he said. “But that’s
all they know and how they get money to survive. “Some kids can’t eat, and they sleep on concrete, working all day or they’re punished,” Bullock said. “It’s amazing. “And it happens a lot more than people see.” After conducting the research, and digesting the information, the students want to share it with others, to talk about something that’s not often discussed.
But they want more. “There are things people can do to help, to fix these issues,” said Marcus Donaldson. As they spend the week getting the message out, Lillenstein’s students want their fellow Vikings to remember two things. “Life is sacred,” Wilder said. “Don’t take it for granted.” And to others, Ulysses Thomas said: “Spread the word.”

Princeton students have hit a high note, as the a cappella choir brought home honors from a recent competition in Boston. The 54 juniors and seniors placed first in the concert choir division of the Heritage Music Festival at Endicott College in Beverly, Mass., on April 21. The choir performed “Contre Qui, Rose” by Morton Lauridsen, “Last Words of David” by Randall Thompson and “Elijah Rock” by Moses Hogan. “This is the most advanced choir at Princeton High School,” said Jamie Holdren, who directs the choir. “They perform very challenging music, most of which you would expect at the college level.” Of the 10 choirs participating in the Boston competition, Princeton was the only choir to achieve a Gold Rating. “The a cappella choir has again been a great ambassador for the Princeton School District,” said Bob

and choir. It’s Princeton’s second time at that festival. The school has also participated in four competitions in the last eight years. Of the four Princeton came in second in Utah, by one point; and first in the concert choir division in Chicago, New York and Boston. The students were Overall Best Choir in New York and Boston, which means the scores were the highest, not only in the concert choir division, but also in the chamber choir and show choir categories. Princeton’s a cappella choir also received its 20th consecutive Superior rating at the Ohio Music Education Association District 14 contest this year.

Ursuline dance team wins state/ national title
The Ursuline Academy dance team won the Showcase America Unlimited State and National championships within its size division (AAA) at the state/nationals April 9 and April 10, making this the second consecutive year for the team to win these titles. In its second season, the 46member team competed at the SCAU-sanctioned event at the Bank of Kentucky Center under the leadership of director Brenda Elmore, assistant director Stacey Lesher and team captain senior Katie Lenart. On April 9, the team performed its “Vampire” inspired routine in the open category, and their “Save the Earth” themed routine in the production category, competing in the AAA Division (senior high teams of 18 or more). They won the SCAU state and national championships within its size division (AAA) and earned an Ultimate Star Rating in both. The team also qualified for the “Best of the Best” and moved on to the April 10 round, where it competed with both routines against all senior high routines regardless of type of routine or size division. In open (”Vampire” routine) the team again landed an Ultimate Star Rating and placed in the top 25. In production, Ursuline received a Showcase Star (best rating you can receive) and placed 13th for the entire event verall. According to Elmore, Ursuline’s production routine was once again one of the crowd favorites. “I am extremely pleased with our results at the state/national level. We had an incredibly busy year preparing for competition season as well as performing in the Liberty Bowl and conducting our first Ursuline Academy Competition in February. The 46member team worked diligently throughout the season to peak at the right time and had several flawless performances during state/nationals. We won the SCAU Cincinnati Regional Competition in our divisions as well as received several high point awards, so heading into Nationals we were
inspired and motivated to close our season ith our best performances. The team pulled together and worked so hard to accomplish our national championships for a second year in a row,” Elmore said. In addition to the team’s success, senior Kayla Boehner received a scholarship of $1,000 from SCAU; she was among more than 30 seniors who applied for the award. The money may be used towards any college she chooses for books and other expenses.

Cornell’s Cowboys on the run By Scott Springer

WYOMING – The Wyoming Cowboys track team has had some of the same difficulties many teams have had. Thanks to a month of precipitation, they’ve been a little low on participation. The result is a small sample size in terms of statistics this spring. Fortunately, the meets that matter the most come in May and coach Cornell Munlin hopes to have his boys and girls in order to advance when the puddles leave the track. Munlin’s biggest asset, particularly with the girls’ squad, is a lot of experience. Many of them have big meet experience and that allows Munlin to use their knowledge to his advan-
tage. “I depend on our upperclassmen to show our younger people a lot,” Munlin said. “They’re very mature and astute with track knowledge and it helps a lot.” Nikki McKee, Bettany Gorby, Alex Jordan, Tess Thorenson, Michelle Jolson, Allanah Jackson, Emily Stites, Cynthia Reinecke, Sammy Schwartz, Kayla Livingston and Shawnese Warren were all recognized by the Cincinnati Hills League for their efforts last season. Munlin knows his Wyoming girls are blessed with unusual talent. “Nikki (McKee) is a second-year runner,” Munlin said. “Michelle (Jolson) and Allanah (Jackson) have run for me for three years. They’ve made it to state.

SCOTT SPRINGER/STAFF
At a recent Wyoming track practice Allanah Jackson (far left) poses with Michelle Jolson, Bettany Gorby and Nikki McKee (far right). They’re seasoned.” Already this season, McKee and Jolson have high jumped beyond their 2010 season bests (4’8”). They both run the 100 and they team up with Jackson on several relays. Tess Thorenson and Sammy Schwartz are in the relay mix. Senior Bettany Gorby is the most experienced hurdler, but sophomore Kayla Livingston is having an early impact and has established herself as a pointscoring long jumper. Sophomore Cynthia Reinecke is right with classmate Livingston in many of the same events. In the throws, Alex Jor-
dan has the edge in the shot put and discus, but is being pushed by sophomore Shawnese Warren. Depth is what helped Munlin win coach of the year honors last season. “The girls are probably more seasoned with Michelle Jolson, Nikki McKee and Allanah Jackson,” Munlin said. “But, I think the boys are going to be better than what people expect.” The boys' make-up differs from the quick “We’re probably stronger in our mid-distance and distance,” Munlin said. “A lot of things can go wrong with the sprints, and I have a lot of young guys in sprints. If
they listen and use their talent, they can be good.” Junior Seth Gold and junior Clifford Ngong highlight the Cowboy long runners. From there, Wyoming’s power comes from their discus and shot throwers. “I have individuals like Clifford (Ngong), Nick Burns, Nick Weeg and some younger guys that are going to really do well I think,” Munlin said. Burns actually throws on another field as well. When not thrusting the discus 140-plus feet, he plays on Chris Fiehrer’s Wyoming baseball team.“I don’t know which position he plays in baseball,” Munlin said of Burns. “I just know he came up to me one day with a uniform on and said he was doing both. I said, ‘Fine Nick, as long as you’re throwing over 140’ (discus) that’s fine with me.’” (Burns plays first base and pitches some.) As with most CHL schools, the athletes have to be spread around. It’s also why Munlin is bullish on his boys squad, having seen some of them in other settings. “Some of the younger guys, I coached in seventhgrade football here,” Munlin said. “They have a lot of heart and a lot of desire.” Once April’s rains are gone, Munlin is pointing toward late May to see success from his known girls and somewhat unknown boys.
Larkin leads the way for MND By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
There’s senior leadership, and then there’s Avery Larkin. The Mount Notre Dame High School catcher is the only senior on the Cougars’ softball squad. Sure, she leads the team in hitting (.489) and OBP (.511), but that’s not where her true value lies. “I wouldn’t like it,” MND head coach Cliff Killian said, “but I would take less hits out of her if it meant I could continue to have her leadership and what’s she’s meant behind the plate.” Behind the plate. That’s where Larkin corrals sophomore hurler Sydney Crowley, who entered the season with exactly 2.1 innings of varsity pitching experience. This year, Crowley has seven wins, two shutouts, a 2.13 ERA and 59 Ks in
75.2 innings. “Avery has meant a great deal to her and everyone,” Killian said. “I can’t overstate her importance of leading the team and being a source of stability.” Aside from Larkin, who lives in Evendale, MND has four juniors – Chelsea Jackson of Loveland, Rebecca Gomez of Evendale, Emily Gomez of Evendale and Alex Lohmann of the Winton Woods area – and a whole bunch of underclassmen. So when Crowley would get rattled after seeing one of her pitches ripped for a base hit, it was on Larkin to settle her down. She would, and Crowley has. Larkin hasn’t done it all, of course. Crowley, who lives in Batavia, has worked to improve her location and consistency. Offensively, sophomore Erin Rice of Deer Park is hit-
ting .385 and leads the Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League Scarlet division with 14 RBI. “She’s just seeing the ball real well and moving the runners,” Killian said of Rice. “She’s had a lot of opportunities with people in scoring position, and she’s stepped up.” The rest of the team is batting below .300, but several players, including the Gomez sisters, have OBPs well above .350. It also helps that MND leads the league in steals – by a lot. With 43 swipes, the Cougars have 15 more than second-place Ursuline; or, put another way, more than Seton, Mercy and St. Ursula combined. “I believe we have the fastest team in the league,” Killian said. “We don’t have a lot of people who are going to hit the ball deep, but we can run.”
Killian, who has more than 35 years of fast-pitch softball experience, also called his team (7-6, 1-3 entering play April 27) the smartest he’s ever coached. His young squad is still learning, but he can sense improvement, especially on defense. MND fell 5-1 to McAuley on April 5 – a game in which the Cougars had “four or five errors” against the team Killian considers the best in the GGCL. On April 18, MND faced McAuley again and lost again, this time 2-0. Both Mohawk runs, however, were earned. “I made two promises to the girls at the beginning of the season,” Killian said. “I promised that by the end of the year, no team will have worked harder than us, and no team will be in better shape than us. We’ve worked hard. We’ve always

will not be wins and where we and where speed and
smarts will carry the Cougars as far as they go. “It’s kind of exciting to know I’ve got all but a few of these kids for three years,” Killian said.

Spring a time for scrums at Moeller By Scott Springer
Moeller's scrum-half, not surprisingly, comes from the football team. “Joe Bracken is a senior and on his way to Dayton to play rugby,” Rosfeld said. “He’s really something special. He played tailback for us.” The offensive line coach has also rounded up some "beef" for spring plowing. “Michael and Andrew Blum were offensive line-

they finished 9-2. The following year they were 17-0 with another state banner to hang at Moeller. “We had 30 juniors and seniors the first year,” Rosfeld said. “The next year we had a big turnout of football players looking for something to do and we’ve been hot ever since.” From around 40 kids last year, Rosfeld now has 77 out playing rugby at Moeller. The sport with the funny looking ball has spread throughout Ohio and adjoining states. "(Cleveland) St. Ignatius has 102,(Indianapolis) Cathedral 75, (Lakewood) St, Edward's in the 60s, and Louisville St. X, St. X and Louisville Trinity have all started programs with 50 each," Rosfeld said. “It’s started to grow in the Catholic schools. It’s been in the community schools with local clubs. In the next year
or so, Mason will have its own team and Princeton will have its own team.” Is rugby the new lacrosse? Like that growing sport, it initially attracted a lot of football players. In its third year at Moeller, "rugby mania" currently is affecting a variety of athletes. “Now, it’s a really good mix,” Rosfeld said. “We get wrestlers, hockey players and a ton of soccer players. We get a lot of guys into kicking and soccer’s style of play.” As for the notable Crusaders engaged in strange formations on the field, Rosfeld gives a quick "Rugby 101" lesson on positions. "Scrum-half wears No. 9," Rosfeld said. "Everyone that wears No. 9 is scrumhalf. Scrum-half is halfway between line of scrimmage and the back."
The second event is Sharonville Eagle Youth Football and Cheerleading Signups, from 10 a.m. to noon, June 4, at Kemper Fields in Sharonville. The organization plays Kindergarten through sixth grade and is $130 for football and $100 for cheerleading and multiple child discounts apply. For any additional information please contact Lauren at 205-5101 or Areiko at 376-1424.

Moeller rugby scrum-half Joe Bracken on the run during a recent match. Moeller’s rugby team won the Ohio state championship in 2010 under head coach Doug Rosfeld. Bracken will continue playing rugby in college at the University of Dayton.
CE-0000458738
Moeller offensive line coach Doug Rosfeld is a former Crusader football player and a former starting center for the University of Cincinnati. If you asked him about a "scrum" a few years ago, he might have thought it to be a bothersome insect or frozen treat from Dairy Queen. However, thanks to a couple of his football players, he has fully learned the sport of rugby and now coaches the defending Ohio state champions. The players were told they would need a school "moderator" to start rugby as a sport at Moeller. Rather than moderate, Rosfeld elected to coach. (A scrum, by the way, is a specific action that restarts the game after a foul or the ball has gone out of play.) After three years, he's addicted to coaching guys wearing shirts many wore in the 1970s. “It’s got all of the elements of football in terms of camaraderie,” Rosfeld said. “What’s so neat about it is you see kids learning a new sport out of their comfort zone. You see guys really self-conscious and nervous about playing, then in the course of the season, you see them feel supremely confident. It’s really cool seeing guys learn the sport.” The Crusaders have learned very well. After starting three seasons ago,
man on the football team,” Rosfeld said. “They’re both playing football out west on full scholarship. They’re forwards — an equivalent of offensive and defensive linemen in this sport. Joe Tull is also a forward. He’s going to play football for Princeton. He played in the North-South all-star game in football. You definitely see a crossover in football players and rugby players.”

I have two questions regarding (Richard O.) Schwab’s column on April 27 about the Tea Party rally in the Glendale Village Square. The rights of free speech and assembly are guaranteed under our Constitution. Why would anyone question the village of Glendale allowing that those freedoms be exercised? Could it be that Mr. Schwab feels that anyone who disagrees with Mr. Schwab should have their rights taken away? If I am not mistaken, this is fairly clearly covered in the 1st Amendment of our Constitution – “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances”. I would be happy to provide Mr. Schwab with a complete copy of the constitution for his future reference, courtesy of the Glendale Tea Party. Mr. Schwab, stating that there was “complicity and collusion” with the village regarding the organizing of this rally, is about as far from the truth as one can get. If it were true, it would have made the organization of this event much easier. If you had all of the facts Mr. Schwab, you would know that the village government towed the line and did not come close to granting the space and time requested. Insuring safety and no disruption of normal business was their upmost concern. Permission to hold the rally required a series of compromises over a period of weeks. The village in no way sponsored or endorsed the rally. They simply allowed citizens to exercise their constitutional rights within certain limitations that they required. Mike Burnham Glendale
Continual talk
“There is so much wrong with all of this …” writes frequent TriCounty Press columnist Richard Schwab. Wrong with what? With respect to the Tax Day card that several Glendale merchants participated in to rebate the tax due in the form of a discount to customers on April 15, this idea came from the 16 pro-active states across the country like South Carolina, Texas and Missouri that

We should face the fact that in almost every area Ohio has fallen behind competitively and this “Tax free” idea is just one more example of things we need to change. Mr. Schwab, I encourage you sit back and relax and plan to continue to hear the Tea Party in Glendale and across the Greater Cincinnati area talk about the gigantic $1.5 trillion annual deficit hole that United State government has burdened us and future generations with for decades to come. This deficit problem represents the biggest single issue of our time that we must fix – now. Until this problem is resolved you will hear us talking about it loudly on our Village Square and several other places around the community. Daniel P. Regenold President Glendale Tea Party Glendale
Against fun
(Richard O.) Schwab has it in for fun. The Tea Party event on April 15 promoted the village merchants and raised money for the HWB Community Center. About 500 people enjoyed fellowship, exchanged ideas and heard conservative speakers. One sign offended him, however that person’s expression is protected by the same Constitution that allows Mr. Schwab to publish his offensive distortion of the event. Was he indigent when unions disrupted the State Capitol or is he just into controlling his neighbor? Robert M. Galbraith, Glendale
CH@TROOM Last week’s question
How much attention are you paying to the wedding plans of Prince William and Kate Middleton? Why do you think people are fascinated by the Royal Family? “I love the diversion for war coverage, economic news and all things stressful. Compared to our homegrown celebrities, these two appear to be drug, alcohol, Botox and neurotic free.” S.J.P. “Absolutely NONE just as I did when Diana was married. People need to get a life and start paying attention to what is happening in their own country such as unemployment and gas at $4 a gallon. While I think it’s interesting about the royal family wedding, why is it such a big deal in England? You’d never get that much attention if a president’s daughter or son married.” R.H.

‘Elections fraud’ bill is example of legislative overkill Only with diverse backgrounds and different life stories can we possibly hope to craft legislation that refrains from over-reaching or causing harm to many of our citizens. This certainly played out when we debated H.B. 159. House Bill 159 was introduced by two legislators from Hamilton County who presented it as a means to address elections fraud. I found it very curious that these two men were suddenly interested in election fraud. After all, in the previous General Assembly, they both voted against a bill designed to combat elections fraud. To be honest, there are stark differences between the two measures. The previous bill targeted fake signatures on petitions. Rampant fraud surfaced right here in Hamilton County just a few yeas ago, when thousands of fraudulent signatures were uncovered on petitions for a Cincinnati ballot initiative. In contrast, current H.B. 159 addresses voter impersonation. Voter impersonation accounts for 0.00000025 percent of votes. Clearly, not much of a problem. The bill has untenable consequences. The simple truth is that H.B.
159 will unconstitutionally disenfranchise the poor, the elderly and women. Requiring a specific photo ID violates the rights of some State Rep. citizens to vote. Connie While you and I Pillich may not have a obtainCommunity problem ing and paying Press guest for a driver’s columnist license, state ID or passport, for many this is a costly burden. Poor and working people and the elderly may not have the means to get to the BMV or pay even a small fee. It could mean taking time off from work, compounding the cost. The costs involved in this mandate amount to nothing more than a poll tax. Women, who are more likely to change their name upon marriage and less likely to drive as they age, are disproportionately affected by this bill. These repercussions may be beyond the life experiences of the two male sponsors. Moreover, the Constitution does not limit voting to only those
with sufficient property and wealth so as to afford a driver’s license, state ID or passport. Indeed, H.B. 159 as currently written cannot pass constitutional muster. Photo ID laws upheld in other states protect the poor, the elderly and women. To be constitutional, we must offer a photo ID to everyone, free of charge, regardless of income, race, or background, and at convenient locations with extended operating hours in the evenings and on weekends. It will cost us more than $22 million to provide a constitutionally adequate photo ID program. All to combat 0.00000025 of votes. In my race for state representative, that would have amounted to about 8/1,000ths of one vote. A more thoughtful approach is needed in crafting legislation. House Bill 159 passed the Ohio House March 23, a mere eight days after being introduced. I voted No. It is being now considered by the Ohio Senate. State Rep.

opened up new vistas for the youngsters. Earlier this year The Links took students age 5 to 13 from Princeton schools in Lincoln Heights, Woodlawn, Evendale, Springdale and the middle school, as well as Bethany, Winton Woods and Pleasant Run elementary and middle schools on a virtual journey to West Africa. Through the 3-L League (Learning, Linking and Leading), our children reached across the Atlantic to students at the Great Promise School Complex in Ghana via traditional pen pal letters and social networking. Students participated in storytelling, reading books, dancing and singing events, tasting Ghanaian food, essay writing and listening to the language and learning from Ghanaians living in Cincinnati. In partnership with The Links and the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, they also raised funds for the Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program. The children discovered that small monetary donations could help in big ways to make a difference outside of their own neighborhoods.

Looking and looking for the one we shouldn’t Father Lou Guntzelman Perspectives
“Surely there is a social institution, group, person, or even God, who will lift from me the terrible weight of life.” Yet, no one can ever totally do that for us. Hollis testifies, “Were we to find someone who could, we would then be bound in a horribly regressive relationship, one in which both partners are rule-bound, infantile and stuck.” As a new friendship or marriage evolves into later stages, an awakening process may occur. Our spouse turns out not to be the magical other – but another human just like me. Resentment, anger and disillusionment can set in. “You’re not the person I married,” we complain. (Actually they are, but we never took the time to know them well when our main concern was merely a good bed partner or security). When reality sets in, a
unpleasantness f r o m occurring, and supplying our needs. They may not realize those are our expectations of them – but they’ll find
out in due time. We certainly all need others who are understanding, who love us, and a few who serve willingly as a support system. However, so much of what we expect from the magical other is our own responsibility. What we fear is freedom, our own individuation process, and encountering on our own the vastness and demands of life. “Surely there is someone out there who can spare me this burden,” we think.

The way many psychologists put it, the drama of our life begins by the primal separation from the Other. Our mother’s womb afforded us everything we needed. It was an Eden of comfort. This separation is the first significant “wounding” we incur. It was so significant that we seek, forever, to return to it. This separation contributes mightily to the fantasy of the “magical other.” Who or what is this magical other? As psychotherapist Dr. James Hollis states, it is “the notion that there is one person out there who is right for us, will make our lives work, a soulmate who will repair the ravages of our personal history; one who will be there for us, who will read our minds, know what we want and meet those deepest needs; a good parent who will protect us from suffering.” Especially when life is hard, responsibilities are demanding, and stresses intensify, we seek this Eden again. We seek it by whatever connections or fixes we think will offer us a ticket back there again. Some of our favorite attempts are via chemical substances, alcohol, pleasure, sex, power, wealth, etc. But most of all we seek another person to be our magical other. To this person, whether it’s our spouse, close friend or relative, we unconsciously assign the responsibility of nurturing us, preventing

Finding a magical other is one of the chief fantasies of life. spouse can feel betrayed and, once again, denied the return trip to Eden. “Shall I do what so many others do and just jump ship?” one may wonder. “No, I couldn’t do that! Just think of the kids.” One feels as if their spouse has become less lovable and flawed, when all the while, they are still the other person who has always been there but covered with a fantasy. During times like these, frustrated Eden-seekers may dream of having an
affair, lose themselves in computer pornography, or engage in power plays to get what they want. They may wield guilt, manipulate, or threaten. “I want my magical other!” cries the child who never grew up but nevertheless is now married.

Use your own herbs for Derby Day, Cinco de Mayo dishes Frank Marzullo, Channel 19 meteorologist, is coming out to film my herb garden for Mother’s Day. He was scheduled this week but you know why that didn’t happen. My herb garden is looking nice, even though the growth is smaller than usual, and most herbs don’t care for a lot of water once they’re established. I have different areas in the garden, as well: an edible flower area, one for medicinal and tea herbs,
Rita Heikenfeld Rita’s kitchen
another for culin a r y herbs, a spot for what I call “househ o l d herbs” ( s o a p w o r t , scrubbing horsetail, d y e
herbs). The spa portion of the garden is pretty with lemon
verbena, rose geranium and other scented herbs. My Mary/Bible garden is on the far right of the garden, nestled under the ancient pine and contains many specimens which have their roots in Bible days. My mom used to say you could garden in a teacup, and she did, so you don’t need a plow and acres to grow healthful plants. On Mother’s Day I give my daughters-in-law herbs for their gardens. It’s a
meaningful tradition, and one which you might like to start. Here are some tips to get you motivated.
Tips on starting an herb garden
Herbs don’t require a lot of tending. Good soil, watering until they’re established and good drainage is essential. If you grow in containers, know that you’ll have to water and fertilize a bit more. Don’t over water or over fertilize, as you’ll wind up with lush growth but the volatile oils that flavor the herbs won’t develop.

Think about the foods you like to eat. A cook’s garden could include parsley, basil, rosemary, sage, thyme, and oregano. A pizza garden for the kids? Try a grape or cherry tomato plant surrounded by oregano or marjoram, basil, rosemary and thyme. A tea garden could have mint, rosemary, chamomile, lemon verbena, thyme and sage. There are endless variations, and I have more information on my website www.abouteating.com. Get the details with my video on container gardening. It’s on my blog at www.Cincinnati.com (Cooking with Rita).
Derby Day mini hot browns
I’ve shared the Brown Hotel’s authentic hot brown sandwich in this column before for Derby Day. Here’s an appetizer version of it. Thanks to Donna, who enjoys sharing favorite recipes. “Not my original recipe, but it’s gone through our circuit of friends and we like it.” 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules 1 ⁄4 cup boiling water 3 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 3 ⁄4 cup half & half 1 cup Swiss or favorite
Morel & violet updates
Unless you have a positive identification, never eat any wild mushroom, or other plants. Mother Nature has many poisonous lookalikes, and that includes mushrooms, as well as flowers, etc. That brings us to wild violets. There's a lookalike flowering now, except that it flowers on a vine – leaves are pointy and real shiny green. It's called periwinkle and some folks mistake it for violets. Maybe you've seen it. Anyway, I don't want people to mistake that for violets either. cheese 18 slices snack rye bread or baguette slices 8 oz. sliced deli turkey 1 small onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled Fresh minced parsley Dissolve bouillon in water; set aside. Melt butter over medium heat and stir in flour until smooth. Stir in cream and bouillon mixture. Bring to a boil and cook for a couple minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in cheese until melted. Put bread on baking sheets. Layer each piece with turkey, onion and cheese sauce. Sprinkle with bacon.

Combine beans and Picante sauce. Spread onto shallow platter. Spread with guacamole. Combine sour cream, mayo and taco seasoning and spread over guacamole. Sprinkle with garnishes including cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips. Tip from Rita’s kitchen: Don’t like cilantro? You’re probably using too much. There’s a natural component of cilantro that has the taste of soap. That’s why so many folks think cilantro tastes like soap when you use too much of it. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author.

Don’t climb the walls – climb a tree instead
Trees are cool. And if you want to be cool, plant a tree! A couple weeks ago, someone asked me to list as many benefits as I could to help justify why we should be planting trees. And you know what? Once I started jotting down some notes, I felt like I could have kept going on forever! Let’s see, the benefits of planting trees. Funny, my mind went right back to when I was a kid. My sister and I used to climb trees better than most monkeys in the zoo. Don’t know too many kids that get to do that anymore, but we certainly did.
Hug out in those big trees all day. But let’s get past that. So, what are some really good Ron Wilson benefits for In the p l a n t i n g garden trees? Trees p l e a s e . Think about it – trees please ‌ they really do. Trees clean the air, provide oxygen, cool the streets, cities and backyards, conserve energy, save water, help prevent soil erosion and water pollu-
tion, provide food, provide a canopy and habitat for wildlife, increase property values, and make good visual and wind screens. They add beauty and help improve our personal health, reduce noise pollution, modify local climates, make life more pleasant, provide wood, are an investment that grows every year, and yes, they’re fun to climb. Trees really do please. So what do you say? Why not get out and plant a tree or two this spring? If anything, plant them for the future generations of tree climbers (like I was), so
one day they can tree and wonder responsible for their great place out.�

Award winning trees
Each year the Society of Municipal Arborists choose an “Urban Tree of the Year.� For 2011, it’s koelreuteria paniculata, commonly known as golden raintree. This flowering ornamental tree was first introduced into the U.S. back in 1763 (native in China, Japan and Korea).

new home for his 3-year-old church. The search had been on for awhile, but some buildings cost too much, others weren’t a good fit for the size of the congregation, and still others were a logistical nightmare when it came to setting up equipment and other elements for a church service. Then he found an unlikely place that seemed “just right.” As he drove by Rhinos Live on Chester Road, he was intrigued by the idea that it was conveniently located, and most likely had the space and equipment he was looking for. After a chat with owner Larry Keckeis, Hinsey knew the hunt had ended with Rhinos. The church held its first service at Rhinos Live in late August 2010.
“We’re excited to have found the right spot,” says Hinsey. “Sure, it’s a little different, but then, so are we. This building has the space, equipment, and flexibility to let us do our thing — which is to give folks good music and a sound message in a casual atmosphere.” Rhinos owner Keckeis agrees, “I’m glad to be able to help Dorrien and his church. I think it’ll bring positive energy to our place.” The church holds services at Rhinos Live, 11473 Chester Road, Sharonville.

Forest Dale Church of Christ Elder Jon Underwood and Senior Minister Jay Russell have written “Boy Meets Girl,” an original sermon and small group series about life & families that will be presented through June 12. The biggest issue seems to be the lack of unity in a family and misplaced priorities when it comes to financial decisions. This is a great time of year to talk about family issues because we celebrate things like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Strong families are not just the foundation of our churches but also of our country and our world.” Small groups will meet throughout the community during the week for further consideration and discussion of the topics presented in the sermon series. Forest Dale is at 604 West Kemper Road. For more information about the series call 825-7171 or at www.forestdale.org.

“Welcome to the hard work of a life lived on purpose,” says Forest Dale Church of Christ Senior Minister Jay Russell. Forest Dale is giving the classic tale of “Boy Meets Girl” a fresh look this spring in a new sermon and small group series about life and families. Russell is writing and delivering the sermons through Sunday, June 12. Forest Dale Elder Jon Underwood is writing the small group lessons to accompany the sermon series. The series will address the many life transitions a person experiences and the new roles that come with age. Topics will include “Single Meets World,” “Sibling Meets Rival,” and “Family Meets Sacrifice.” “From my own experience I know that I had to make a decision to put away the old behaviors before I really was able to fill my role as husband and father,” said Russell. “There are a lot of people who think that maturity is all about getting older … but it is more a conscious decision to be mature. Families have a lot of demands on their time … compounded by the unrelenting media all vying for their dollars and loyalty.

get accustomed to the demands of exercise without getting too aggressive.” He cautions that dog walking can’t be considered cardiovascular exercise, though. The downfall of walking with a dog is he or she (Nosey for example) wants to stop and sniff, so you can’t keep up a brisk enough pace long enough for it to raise the heart rate much. To put this into perspective, according to Doug, a 160-pound person would have to walk nine and a half hours to burn one pound of fat. “Dog walking is more an activity than exercise,” Doug says, “But, activity is part of a healthy lifestyle and it might inspire a person who hasn’t been doing much to do more.” There are other things that dog owners can do besides walking, he counsels, such as jogging or running. Those activities do burn more calories. Dr. Megan Kramer of Highland Heights Animal Hospital used to run with her German shorthaired pointer, Ginger, before an injury forced the good doc to slow down the pace. So, she’s a great proponent of exercising with your dog. “Owners need to start their pets out the same as they would themselves,” she said. “They can get sore muscles just like we do. Whatever activity you choose, take it slow, especially if they haven’t been
very active over the winter months. “If they have been indoors a lot, their paws might be more sensitive and the pads need a little time on rough terrain to toughen up.” She also points out that you should always take your dog’s breed into consideration when planning your activities together. The physiology of dogs varies from breed to breed. “A basset hound is not as much of an endurance dog as a pointer or lab,” she said. “Breeds with smooshed faces,” she adds as an example, “can’t cool themselves as quickly as a longmuzzled dog.” So, you shouldn’t exercise as vigorously with a pug as you can with a golden retriever. Owners should also take into consideration their pet’s age. “A younger dog is going to be more active and able to do higher impact activities than an older animal,” she explains. It is always a good idea to check with your personal veterinarian before beginning any exercise program. But, whatever you do … always remember to have fun!

“Come on!” I sighed, exasperated, tugging at Nosey’s leash for what seemed like the hundredth time since we left the house; and we were only half way down the street. “They call it a ‘walk’ not a ‘sniff’ for a reason!” “But, there are so many great smells out here,” she said, giving the fire hydrant we were passing a longing look. “You just don’t understand what it is like to be a dog!”’ No, I don’t understand what it is like to be a dog, but I do know how much fun it is to walk with your best pal. I’m not a big fan of exercise (and have the thighs to prove it), but love getting out in the fresh air and clearing my mind a bit. Just last week I happened to weigh myself and noticed that I’d lost five pounds without even trying. The only thing I can attribute it to is having taken so many walks with Nosey since we adopted her in January. “I’m not surprised,” personal trainer Doug Gibson said when I related this fact. “Dog walking is good exercise.” And Doug should know, he’s owner of the very popular Sensible Fitness studio in Blue Ash. “For someone who hasn’t been exercising,” he said, “Walking is the best place to start. It is low intensity and allows your muscles, joints and tendons to
