BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Princeton may sell naming rights By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Princeton City Schools has announced its guidelines for those who want to apply for naming rights of various facilities of the new school campus on Chester Road. “We constantly are getting chatter of potential naming rights,” Superintendent Gary Pack said. “The only thing they’ve named (so far) is Matthews Auditorium, because
that family donated property where the schools are located. “They wanted to make sure they kept that name to acknowledge the Matthews family,” Pack said of school board members. According to board policy, applications must meet several criteria: » Commemoration should be reserved only for those people or places who have made a significant contribution to the enhancement of education, or
to the well-being of the district, community, state or nation. » A business, industry or organization must be willing to provide a substantial contribution to the school district, and approval of the contribution must be made by the board before naming rights are awarded. » Any person who is nominated must be deceased, or if that person is an employee, no longer employed by the school
district for at least five years before being selected. The middle school is on schedule to open in August this year, with the high school set for completion by August 2014. The common area, which will be open to the public outside of school hours, will be completed in 2015. “Naming rights will be considered by the board, but there is a substantial contribution that has to take place,” Pack
said, “Not just because they were great people who did great things.” Pack encouraged local businesses and community members to apply for naming rights. “This is a grand opportunity for them,” he said. “It’s going to be a grand place with many people going in and out for years to come.” For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/local.

Barnell named Glendale Officer of the Year By Kelly McBride
kmcbride@communitypress.com
Glendale’s senior patrolman, who continues to lead by example, has been named the Officer of the Year. Jerry Barnell received the Joseph C. Hubbard Police Officer of the Year Award during Village Council’s April 8 meeting. Barnell was also the 2010 recipient of the annual award. “Rather than rest on that laurel, he has continued to expand his knowledge base and improve on every facet of his performance,” Police Chief Dave Warman said of Barnell. “Now, as the

department’s senior patrolman, he leads through his active example and dedication to his profession.” Barnell has worked as a fulltime officer with the Glendale Police Department for 13 years, becoming a full-time officer in 2000 after working part-time for two years. He’s a certified bicycle officer, certified evidence technician, experienced drug investigator, serves ad the department’s wrecker company liaison and coordinates the department’s data-master activity, in addition to his duties as patrol officer. The Hubbard award, established in 2009, recognizes an of-
ficer whose performance during the previous year best exemplifies the Glendale Police Department’s mission. Performance considered above and beyond an officer’s duties, including professionalism, job activity and commitment to service are criteria used to choose the recipient, Warman said. “This award was unexpected,” Barnell said. “I work with a great bunch of guys.” “He’s a classic guy,” Lt. Dave LeCompte said of the officer. “He goes out and does his job.”
As Connective Active Communities Coalition members prepare plans to present to their respective councils, students in a University of Cincinnati transportation class have done a little of the leg work for them. Students in the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning transportation class spent the spring semester working on a report for CACC that not only discussed how to connect trails for bicyclists and pedestrians, but also what effect it will have and how alternative forms of transportation could help. Adam Hartke, a graduate student finishing a masters degree in community planning who presented for the class, said that while bike lanes are preferred methods for bike and pedestrian traffic in CACC’s areas, signs and shared lanes are likely more cost-effective. CACC is comprised of representatives
from Blue Ash, Evendale, Glendale, Montgomery, Reading, Sharonville, Woodlawn and Wyoming. Shared lanes, or sharrows, are street lanes that indicate to drivers, typically with a bike and arrows painted on the ground, that they share the lane with bicyclists and should be on the look out for them. Several places in Cincinnati, including the Hyde Park and Oakley areas, already use sharrows. Signs are another option, Hartke said, that is less costly. The class’s report studied eight potential routes for bike trails throughout the CACC’s areas, which would link those areas, as well as interest points such as parks and schools. Some trails, such as a paths for Chester Road and Greenwood Avenue or Glendale-Milford Road and Chester Road, would likely need to have bike lanes to be safe enough. Other trails, such as along

Cooper Road or Cornell Road over Interstate 71, would be sufficiently marked with signs and sharrows, according to the report. The most-traveled roads in Evendale are Glendale-Milford Road and Reading Road, which include several large industries such as General Electric and Formica. Some places within the village that could be connected by the bike trails, which Evendale has noted in its bike master plan, are the Gorman Heritage Farm, Griffin Nature Preserve and municipal complex. The UC class also recommended that CACC work with Metro and local businesses to encourage both pedestrians and cyclists to use the trails once they’re created. Hartke said that it could
enhance local business activity as well as increase bus ridership. Other recommendations included branding the connected trails, which would help with recognition, and include citizens in planning and education. Hartke said the class used Google Maps to look at the routes that bike trails could take, looked at where cars drove most and then investigated the areas personally to get an understanding of how traveled those roads are by car. He added that out of the eight the class looked at, they wanted to make sure each one connected to at least one other. CACC co-founder Michele Gottschlich said the report will help them build off that so they can move forward with trail projects. “I can’t tell you how helpful (the report) will be to the CACC,” she said. CACC plans to meet again July 31.

Federle retires from Sharonville Police Dept. By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
One of Sharonville’s longest-serving police officers is retiring, after nearly 30 years with the department. Lt. Frank Federle joined the Sharonville Police Department as a patrol officer in 1983. He had graduated from the Police Academy at Scarlet Oaks in 1982, after serving in the Army from 1978 to 1981. Federle continued with the Army Reserves from 1982 to 1990. In 1994, he was promoted to sergeant, and achieved his current rank of lieutenant in 1997. Federle, whose last day on the job was Thursday, May 2, was responsible for Sharon-
ville Police Department’s explorer post in 1994. He also served on the city’s bike patrol. “I’m always humbled when an officer retires, having served their entire career in the patrol division,” Police Chief Aaron Blasky said. “It takes great fortitude, both physically and mentally, to accomplish this. “Lt. Federle served 29 ears and six months in various shifts in the department, all in the patrol division. “He has also always been the first person to come in on his off-time when needed,” Blasky said. “I have great respect for Lt. Federle. “We will miss him, but wish him great adventures in the next chapter

Gala features feast, fun, funds for Princeton
By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Princeton’s annual fundraising event has raised more than $20,000 for programs across the district. The Princeton Pride Gala, formerly called the Viking 50, brought more than 300 guests to Elements Conference and Events Centre in Sharonville. It was a gathering of community members and Viking staff, past and present, including several former superintendents. Joining Superintendent Gary Pack were several former superintendents, including Aaron Mackey, Richard Denoyer, Don Darby, and former assistant Superintendent Ed-
die Starr. The Princeton Jazz Combo played during dinner, with Down 5 providing musical entertainment later in the evening, as guests participated in a silent auction, gambling tables and a raffle. The funds will be used to finance programs including STEAM at the high school and early reading at the elementary schools, among others. The money also will benefit programs such as the performing arts, music and athletics. “The funding that will help augment Princeton programs is outstanding,” Education Foundation Director Michael Wilson said, “but it’s also that good feeling you get from Princeton Pride.”

Two Mars Hill Academy seniors, Evan Boone of Sharonville and Amanda White of Liberty Township, achieved “finalist” status in the National Merit Scholar program. Boone and White had been named semifinalists in the fall due to their qualifying scores on the Preliminary Scholastic Achievement Test. To become a finalist, a semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by the high school principal, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student's earlier performance on the qualifying PSAT. White achieved a perfect score on the SAT. In addition, the semifinalist and a high school official must submit a detailed scholarship application, which includes the student's essay and information about the semifinalist's participation and leadership in school and community activities.

The future looks bright as freshman Ally Golden and sophomore Olivia Munneke lead the team in average. Munneke tops the team in runs batted in.
One goal ahead for the senior quintet of Cowboys is to win a tournament game. Their closest postseason encounter came in a 2010 narrow defeat against Amelia, 2-1. For Potvin, this month culminates many hours of trying to get ahead in an underhand manner. “I’ve been pitching since we could start, in the third grade,”

Cowboys softball seniors savor final at-bats
WYOMING — Five Wyoming softball seniors will play their final home game May 10 against Finneytown. Numbers and other sports offerings may have affected their overall won-loss record, but all were key contributors to Coach Holly Muehlenkamp’s Cowboys from 2010-2013. Making their grand regular season finale against the Lady Wildcats will be shortstop Audra Chalmers, catcher Clara Merten, pitcher Gabby Potvin, outfielder Taylor Singleton and outfielder Madi Stephens. Chalmers, Merten and Potvin were all-league players for Wyoming. “We’re all super close and we’re like a unit,” Chalmers said. “We’ve gone through all four years and it’s been a great experience.” Chalmers comes from great “glove DNA” as older brother Adam was a Wyoming baseball center fielder and younger brother, Parker, is currently coach Chris Fiehrer’s shortstop. Chalmers was a secondteam pick as a sophomore and honorable mention last year; Merten made honorable mention her sophomore season. Both are among Wyoming’s fielding percentage leaders along with junior first baseman Ellen Koesterman. Potvin was a four-year mainstay in the Cowboys’ pitching circle, making Cincinnati Hills League second team in three straight years (2013’s all-league selections have not yet been announced). In her freshman year she was 10-8 with a save and 1.34 ERA on a 14-11 Wyoming team. In her senior season, her ERA was under 2.00 despite the team’s overall losing record. Potvin will depart Wyoming having pitched in 60 games and over 400 innings. “This year’s been one of my favorite years so far,” Potvin said. “We had a really young

SHARONVILLE — One has been there before. One is trying to get there for the first time. Both have a good chance to reach the Ohio Division I state track and field meet. Princeton High School junior Halen Witcher ran the 4x400meter relay at state last season, but has learned a lot in the intervening year. And added more events. “It’s going to take a lot of hard work, but I’m ready to get back,” Witcher said. “I got out in the first 100 too fast last year and I had nothing at the end. My last hundred I had no kick. I’ve got a better strategy now.” “You want to attack that first 100 meters,” said Princeton head track coach James Stallings. “Then you want to get to that power stride in the second hundred. By the time you get into the turn in the third hundred, you roll out of that and you sprint the last hundred. “Halen is a lot better in the second second half of the race now. He does a great job of running whatever we ask him to do. He’s becoming a leader.” As evidenced by the addition of the 200, the open 400 and the 4x200 relay to his program. Witcher won the 200 meters (22.6 seconds), 400 (49.65) and anchored the victorious 4x400 relay (3:25.10) at the annual Princeton Invitational last week; the Vikings won both the the boys and girls meets. Witcher - who also plays defensive back and returns kicks for the Princeton football team admitted he’d like to focus on one event. “But I like to help however I can,” he said. “That’s the most important thing, doing what’s best for the team.” Sophomore Kevin Rainey has been a big help to the Vikings, establishing himself as a serious presence in the hurdles. His goal is to reach Columbus for the first time this season. He won the 110-meter hurdles at the Princeton Invitational in 15.08 and took the 300 hurdles in 40.51. “I like the 110s because it’s just full speed, as hard as you can go from the gun,” he said. “ I like to go full out.” “His better race is actually the 300,” Stallings said. “He has elite speed. I could probably run him in the open 400 and he’d do very well. He’s a little bit small compared to the traditional 110 hurdlers. His size doesn’t matter so much in the 300. He’s right there about to break that 39-second mark.” Rainey also plays point guard on the Princeton basketball team and said he actually prefers hoops to track. Still, he’s learning to appreciate running and the potential he has in it. “You’ve just got to take each race seriously,” Rainey said. “(In the 300) you really attack the first three hurdles and get into your power stride. And after the last hurdle you just run as hard as you can.”

Viking girls use focus to meet goals By Adam Turer presspreps@gmail.com
SHARONVILLE — The Greater Miami Conference has not been kind to Princeton High School’s softball team, but the Vikings still have their goals for this season within reach. A hot start to the season led to Princeton equaling its win total from last season after just 15 games. “From the beginning of the year we have set our focus on winning more games than last year,” said head coach Mary Von Bargen. “In order to do this, we know that we have to be focused in every game and believe we can win each game.” After starting the year 7-8, the Vikings dropped eight-straight contests, all against GMC opponents. Princeton heads into the final week of the season with four more chances to add to the win

total and improve on last year’s 7-19 mark. The team has kept its focus and remained upbeatduring the los-
ing streak. “This team doesn’t quit,” said Von Bargen. “They stay positive even in the games we have been run-ruled. We take from those games what we have to work on and make it better for the next game.” This year’s group has committed to getting better, and it started in the offseason. In the past, only a few girls would put in the time and work at the batting cages or train together to improve their conditioning. In Von Bargen’s sixth season, at least 10 girls have put in the extra work each day. “They have finally
bought in and now it is starting to pay off,” said Von Bargen. “It is wonderful to see. This group of young ladies is very special and I feel very blessed to be coaching them.” Captains Emily Roper, Brandi Stepp, and Jada Pollard provide leadership, along with fellow seniors Paris Foster and Sydney Daniels. Roper and Stepp are among the league leaders in batting average. Daniels and freshman Haley Osborne have developed into reliable outfielders in their first season playing the position. Roper sets the tone for the team from behind the plate. Pitcher Nicole Lohmueller has kept the team in close games with her ability to move the ball. “These girls jell so well together,” said Von Bargen. “They are the true sense of the meaning of team.”

Does someone you love need memory care?
Bridgeway Pointe, an assisted living, respite, transitional and memory care facility on the campus of Drake Center in Hartwell, is preparing for its open house Saturday, May 11. The timing of this event is just right as growing numbers of older adults are diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. What’s concerning is most people don’t know the steps to take when they suspect someone may have cognitive or memory issues. First, it’s important to understand that dementia is a set of symptoms; it is not a disease. Other diseases can trig-

As co chair of this year’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life Sharonville committee, I would like to thank the residents of Sharonville and surrounding communities for their generosity and support. Thirty-four teams participated in this year’s event April 27-28 at Princeton High School, and raised more than $41,000. This outstanding show of support proves that the people of our community stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the American Cancer Society to achieve its mission of saving lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures and fighting back. We were honored to be joined by 50 survivors who walked the survivors lap and had dinner with their caregivers. These survivors are the reason we continue the fight. Their participation symbolizes hope for those battling cancer. A special thanks to the many Relay For Life volunteers who worked to make this event a success – celebrating the lives of those who have battled cancer, remembering loved ones lost, and pledging to fight back against the disease. The Relay For Life committee did an outstanding job of planning the event and demonstrating leadership in the fight against cancer in our community.
Our 2013 Relay committee members are: Robin Frost, Dana Zinnecker, Andrew Cromer, Carol Cromer, Dimitry Drozdov, Brittany Conley, Erika deStefano, Leah Rutz, Theresa Roy, Katherine Vaaler, Emilie Buisson, Olivia Gelder, Jennifer Beck, Glenn Davis, Gerry Lozano, Margaret Scott, Patty Baker, Tawana Keels, Greg Dornoff, Donn Strohofer and Mike Stagney. We thank our ACS staff partner for her help as well, Alicia Morris. We also want to thank the support of Jim Scott, WLW radio, Katy Morgan, Fox 19 meteorologist, and Mo Egger, 1530 ESPN radio. They were very gracious in walking and spending time with everyone We are so grateful for the support of this year’s sponsors – Meijer, KISS 107.1, WEBN, The Project 100.7, Beacon Orthopaedics, Frame USA, Precision Mfg.

May 1 question Should Congress pass a bill which would empower states to make online retailers collect sales taxes for purchases made over the Internet? Why or why not?
“I would like to see Congress enact laws that require all internet purchases to have state sales tax placed on them. This would be based on the State of the purchaser or receiver of the goods. “This levels the playing field somewhat with the competing retail outfits. But I would like all of this new tax earmarked for state education at the K-12 grade levels. Otherwise these additional tax dollars will go towards less necessary items. “Go figure!” T.D.T.
“The answer is a resounding No! It is unconstitutional. “Refer to your copy of the U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Paragraph 5: ‘No tax or duty shall be laid on goods exported from any state.’ “Any state currently collecting such tax is doing it illegally. Ohio cannot collect it or coerce you to volunteer it if the purchase is made and shipped to you from another state.” B.C.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Many made Relay a success
Whether someone with dementia stays at home with a caretaker or lives in an assisted living environment (preferably with a specially trained staff in memory care) the goal is to help each individual maximize his/her health and quality of life. Assisted living facilities use state-of-the-art technology to help people remain as independent and highly functioning as possible. Of course, “hightech” support is secondary in importance to “high-touch,” compassionate care.
“We’re already taxed enough! Having to pay shipping adds to the cost of ordering online, but not paying sales tax helps to make up for that. Taxing Internet purchases would discourage many people from patronizing online companies and those companies could be thrown out of business, resulting in more people losing their jobs (with more people having to go on unemployment or welfare). The government needs to stop wasting our money and find ways to cut spending. Increasing taxes only gives the politicians more money to spend frivolously and causes folks like me to stop spending, which only makes the economy worse. It seems to be their only solution (along with printing worthless money) to a terrible financial situation.” C.H.
"Collecting the sales tax is an administrative nightmare. Most but not all states have one and in many areas, it varies from county to county. Some states tax clothing and others don’t. Nationally, the system of sales and use taxes is a nightmare. Merchants have to deal with their own state’s mess already. Why should they have to deal with dozens of other regulations as well. The Internet and the telephone has made tax evaders of all of us because we buy things elsewhere and don’t pay our home state’s tax. Let’s

leave things the way they are or outlaw state sales taxes and have one national sales tax whose proceeds get sent back to the states.” F.S.D.
"First and for all, it would give retailers an increase in their business and secondly, it would give states additional tax revenue. I personally purchased an item once and had more of a hassle in returning that item, which caused me to only support retail businesses. A lot of people think that a penny saved is a penny earned, but once you pay (shipping and handling) and the aggravation if it is wrong size, color, or just not what you ordered, it is not worth it. I understand a lot of people live by this, but start taxing and see what happens.” D.J.
"Well, as a business owner and reseller, yes I do think sales tax should be collected. Many states are already mandating sales tax on Internet purchases, also known as sales use tax. the main reason many Internet purchases escape sales tax is because Internet Sales Software, also known as “shopping carts” is very expensive, and many are avoiding collecting the taxes because that reseller has to send in sales taxes to the various states the buyer is located, and that is a pain. If you live in the state the seller is in, you cannot avoid paying the sales tax. 'I suggest a simple federal sales tax the same percentage as the buyers State they reside. That way, the federal government can divy out the individual states fair share.” O.H.R.
“No, Congress should not. Online 'ETailers' are often very small in-home businesses. To require them to collect and distribute sales taxes back to dozens of states would place a hardship upon them that would likely force them out of business. Besides, the rule for mail-order businesses has always been limited to collecting the sales tax only for states in which they have a physical presence. In addition, this change is being pursued by the federal government in an area that lies outside the scope of their constitutional limitations. Not that that has ever bothered the Feds in recent years, but I think it’s time someone put the Feds back in their place. “Heaven knows they have enough trouble dealing with the areas they are constitutionally required to regulate.”

Volunteers deliver Passover meals
With the help and dedication of 120 volunteers, Jewish Family Service delivered 420 Passover meals to Cincinnati Jewish families in need March 17, marking the 15th annual Dr. Samuel S. Rockwern Passover Delivery of Jewish Family Service. This community project is often meaningful for volunteers as well as the clients receiving food. “I have volunteered every year,” said Lynn Mayfield of Hyde Park, who continues to recognize the importance of this project. “I moved out of town for a number of years, but would always come back to Cincinnati for the weekend of Passover delivery.” The Passover delivery drew volunteers of all ages to deliver boxes filled with matzah, matzah ball soup mix, macaroons, gefilte fish, Passover candy, grape juice, nuts, apples, and a chicken dinner to families in need. Because Kosher for Passover food is expensive, this project is important to ensure recipients had an adequate holiday meal. Deliveries stretched over 30 ZIP codes confirming that Jewish families in need live throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. The Dr. Samuel S. Rockwern Passover Delivery of Jewish Family Service was started by a group of dedicated volunteers in 1998 and continues to be embraced by the community. It involves more than just delivering food; it personally connects the volunteers with families. Alta Kreindler of Amberley Village delivered food with her grandchildren, Sophie Glassman (age 7), Eric Glassman (age 9) and Ryan Glassman (age 11) of Wyoming. During one delivery, they looked at family photos on the wall. The resident handed the children apples and candy bars as a thank-you. “He was nice,” Ryan said. Volunteers also came during the week to sort the thousands of cans and boxes of donated food. Cincinnati Hebrew Day School donated the storage and set-up facilities. Area congregations, organizations, and businesses collected the nonperishable, boxed food. The balance was purchased with mone-

Remke/biggs at Highland and Ridge made it easy for shoppers to donate money. The store displayed signs with tearoff slips for shoppers to donate specifically to this project by adding $5, $10 or $20 to their purchase. Shoppers can continue to support this promotion through April 2. No cash or food donations go to waste as the need for food continues throughout the year at Jewish Family Service Food Pantry, which feeds an average of 130 people each month. It is the only kosher food pantry in the region and is currently located in space donated by Golf Manor Synagogue. The pantry will be expanding into the Jewish Family Service
Barbash Family Vital Support Center this summer on the campus of Hebrew Union CollegeJewish Institute of Religion. The Center will not only house an expanded food pantry, but will have case management, supportive counseling, emergency financial assistance, health promotion classes and therapeutic socialization. The food pantry will continue making deliveries to those who are homebound. Jewish Family Service is supported in part by funds made available from Jewish Federation of Cincinnati, United Way of Greater Cincinnati, The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio, Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger, and The Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati.

Make homemade spa products for mom
I had a rather unusual request for a Mother’s Day present from a young woman who wanted to make her mom some homemade spa products. She wanted something that the chidlren could help with, too. Homemade spa products are easy to make, healthful and beautiful. I’m sharing a few of my favorites here, and Rita there will Heikenfeld be more on RITA’S KITCHEN my blog, so check that out. As I have said lots of times, a gift from the hands is a gift from the heart. Happy Mother’s Day to all of our moms, biological and otherwise.
Rita’s homemade bath salts Master recipe:
1 cup Epsom salt 1 ⁄4 cup sea salt 2 tablespoons baking soda
Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon dry goat or cow’s milk 1 tablespoon dry bath herbs of your choice, finely ground or not, or a few drops essential oil of your choice.
Mix together. To use, pour 1⁄4 cup into a hot bath.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
15-18 minutes until hot and bubbly.
Essential oils are distilled from plants and are very strongly scented. There are many kinds, from soothing lavender to energizing peppermint. Epsom salt soothes muscles and helps replenish magnesium levels and remove toxins from skin. Sea salt is recommended for its mineral content. Baking soda is alkaline, helps soothe and clean without harming delicate skin.

Rita shares recipes for homemade bath salts, a sugar scrub and foaming bath oil. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD.

I don’t know if Linda, who requested the recipe from this Montgomery restaurant, is a mom, but if so, this will be her present from Yvonne Steinhauer, a Milford reader, who has the cookbook.
Mix together:
Use for face, neck and throat. Avoid eye area. Use a circular motion and gently rub the scrub into your forehead, cheeks, chin and neck. Rinse with warm water. Finish with cool water to close pores. Store in refrigerator.

This fundraiser, celebrating the era of the Great American Songbook, its iconic popular songs, and the golden age of songwriting, benefits the educational programs at the museum. Reflecting a period from the 1920s to the 1950s, this time frame also witnessed the Taft Museum of Art’s transition from the home of the city’s most respected family to a museum featuring a distinguished art collection. Inspiration for the upbeat evening can be found in the great standards of American popular music, featuring songwriters such as Richard Whiting, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer and Thelonious Monk.

Bowdon will play selections from the Great Songbook days and the Greg Lee Trio will provide music under the stars. Following on the heels of last year’s popular and successful Soiree in the Garden, the Taft will again host about 400 guests to revel in art and music throughout the museum. Partygoers will indulge in era-inspired food and cocktails against a backdrop of a romantic garden setting. Docents of the Taft Museum, Duncanson Society members, Taft Museum staff, Taft board of directors members, Taft and community volunteers are serving as event chairs and co-chairs. The Cabaret in the Garden presenting sponsor is Jerry Ewers and SPACES. Proceeds from this gala support award-winning educational experiences
for Greater Cincinnati youth, adults and families. A highlight of the evening will be the opening of the special exhibition Photographic Wonders: American Daguerreotypes from The NelsonAtkins Museum of Art. These early photographs present a candid, touching and sometimes humorous image of life in an earlier era, not unlike the themes found in the pages of the Great American Songbook. In addition, a multichoice raffle and an opportunity to Adopt-aPainting at Taft Museum of Art are available prior to May 16. For full details on Cabaret in the Garden, the raffle and Adopt-aPainting go to www.taftmuseum.org, Events, Cabaret in the Garden; call (513) 352-5145 or email asargent-couch@taftmuseum.org.

He not only went to the clinic for himself, he said his wife and child have gone there as well because it’s so convenient. “If you have children and your children get sick at 6 o’clock at night you don’t want to take them to the emergency room because it’s not an emergency. The clinics are typically open 7, 8, 9 o’clock at night, so it creates a convenience thing too for you with your children,” Johnson said. In addition, Johnson said
A better place The Civics Department of The Cincinnati Woman’s Club recently provided an educational program addressing the work, impact and aspirations of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital featuring Michael Fisher, president and CEO. Fisher shared his personal insights into the achievements of the medical center and discussed its role as a world-class hospital and research center and as a partner with organizations across the community. Members and guests gained a greater understanding of the myriad of services, projects, and goals of Cincinnati Children’s. The Cincinnati Woman’s Club has been involved over many years in various philanthropic efforts for Children’s Hospital as it contributes toward working to make Greater Cincinnati a better place.
such clinics can be less expensive than going to a doctor’s office. “I looked at the rates online and it says $85. My doctor charges my insurance $140, so I thought it was going to cost me my $15 co-pay. But it was actually going to save the insurance company some money.” Johnson said his father checked with his insurance company and learned it too specifically excludes payments to such health clinics. But The Little Clinic, which is owned by Kroger, says while some insurance policies don’t cover its services, more than three dozen companies accept
it – and that’s just in Cincinnati. It has clinics in several cities around the country. The Little Clinic, which has been in operation since 2000, says 70 percent of its patients have insurance while 30 percent do not. The big thing is, although these health care clinics are meeting an unmet need, you need to check now to see whether or not your insurance plan will cover them.

Former Hamilton County Commissioner and Cincinnati City Councilman David Pepper was the guest speaker at the Blue Ash Northeast Democratic Club March 19. Pepper spoke to a packed room on the impact of the sequester – the $1.5 trillion in cuts to federal spending that went into effect March 1 and will extend over the next decade. “How will the aver- Pepper age American be impacted by these spending cuts? Will they face longer lines at airports as they go through security? Will our national parks have to slash hours? Will there be cuts to student loan programs and to funding for important medical research? And what will these cuts mean to our national defense and to Ohioans? We need to talk about it,” Pepper says. Pepper, a graduate of Yale Law School, is a well-known figure in Cincinnati. Currently, he
is of counsel at Blank Rome LLP. In his previous elected positions, he navigated through major fiscal challenges by reforming operations and management practices, cutting costs dramatically, consolidating services among neighboring jurisdictions, reducing property tax rates, and kick-starting stalled economic development efforts. Most recently, Pepper has been pegged as a contender for the Ohio Attorney General race in 2014. Before Pepper’s presentation, the new slate of BANDC officers were installed, including Ann Neuer, president; Julie Brook, vice president; Sonny Saeks, treasurer, and Maxine Bookbinder, secretary.

Riding the wave of a great football season, the University of Notre Dame Club of Greater Cincinnat enjoyed a fun night of fundraising for local scholarships. The spirit of the Fighting Irish was out in full force when more than 200 graduates, friends and supporters gathered for the club’s 39th Annual Reverse Raffle scholarship fundraiser. The excitement mounted throughout the evening as tickets were drawn and eliminated one at a time until only five of the original 250 tickets were left. The owners of the last five tickets agreed to join together and split the $8,000 grand prize. With the combined proceeds of the reverse raffle, a silent auction, live auction, and a basket raffle, more than $18,000 was raised for local scholarships and will be added to the club’s endowed scholarship fund. A special highlight of the evening was the presentation of the club’s Award of the Year to Michelle Simon, Ph.D. of Symmes Township. A 1980 graduate of Notre Dame, Simon was honored for her extraordinary service to the club and community. She has served in several executive positions with the club, including vice president and president, and has led many key events including past Reverse Raffles, Universal Notre Dame Night celebrations, continuing education Hesburgh Lectures, and Urban Plunge social justice immersions for Notre Dame students in Over-the-Rhine.

The Cincinnati club’s scholarship fund was originally established by Albert Castellini, a 1924 graduate of Notre Dame, and is one of the oldest and largest Notre Dame club scholarship funds in the country. The endowed fund has a current value of more than $2 million, and is comprised entirely of contributions from the club’s fund raising efforts and individual donations, plus investment income.

Emergency responders train for mass casualty incident Hamilton County Fire Chiefs Association, in conjunctions with emergency responders from across the Tristate, will engage in a simulated motor vehicle crash into the Hamilton County Fairgrounds grand stands, causing a mass casualty incident. The exercise will be at the Hamilton County Fair grounds from 9 a.m. to approximately 1 p.m. Wednesday, May 15. The exercise will have dozens agencies working togeth-
er to test the newly developed mass casualty incident response plan. The drill is designed to exercise and refine the ability over area emergency responders to respond to a mass casualty incident in Hamilton County. Assistant Chief Kevin Hardwick of Glendale Fire Department said, “This joint exercise will allow us to see where problems arise and provide an opportunity to address them prior to an actual mass casualty event.
The drill will also allow us to test the Incident Command system in our region and increase interoperability of the many response and emergency management agencies needed to address a mass casualty incident.” More than 500 people will be part of this drill including approximately 300 volunteers serving as victims. If you would like to volunteer, please visit the drill website at http:// bit.ly/16Ycef5.
