St. X students show support for Wyoming
By Kelly McBride
kmcbride@communitypress.com
Just days after the death of Wyoming High School senior Richard Beck, two teens walked into the building after school on a recent afternoon, carrying a show of support from a community that also knows the pain of tragic loss. Brian Hurwitz, who lives in Wyoming but attends St. Xavier High School, walked into the Wyoming High School building after school on Tuesday, carrying an enormous banner. “Stay strong during this difficult time,” it read. The banner was covered with hundreds of signatures of St. X students, offering support as Wyoming students struggle to cope with the sudden loss of a classmate, just as the St. X family has been. St. Xavier has lost two students during the 2009-2010 school year. Kevin Le, a junior, died in September from injuries after being hit by a car in Fairfield. Senior Matt James was killed in a fall during spring break in Florida in April. After Le’s death, students at Elder High School sent a similar banner to St. X, and after James’ death, Elder, Colerain and Mother of Mercy high schools sent banners to the students as they grieved the death of a second classmate in seven months. St. Xavier Assistant Principal Craig Maliborski said a banner still hangs in the St. X hallway. “Our guys know what it was like to be on the receiving end of this,” he said. “It’s been a hard year, and has heightened awareness among our guys,” Maliborski said of the attempt to offer comfort to the Wyoming students.

A banner stretching about 20 feet across hangs outside the Wyoming High School office as a message of support to students from their peers at St. Xavier High School.
The visit from Hurwitz and another St. X student was unexpected, Wyoming Assistant Principal Mike Overbey said. “It was a very powerful few minutes for myself and (Principal) Aaron Marshall,” Overbey said. “They felt compelled to show their sorrow for Rich.” Marshall said in a statement that the gesture was profound.
“The students and staff members at Wyoming High School are deeply touched by this kind and meaningful gesture from the students at St. Xavier,” Marshall said. “They will never know how much their support and understanding means to all of us.” The Wyoming school district issued a news release in memory of Beck. “Richard Beck was a valued member of the Wyoming School family, a senior who was preparing to graduate in June. “As a district, we are truly saddened and distressed by this tragic and sudden loss of one of our own. “Although words can never really express the extent of our sorrow, we extend our deepest
sympathy, our caring concern, and our love to Richard’s parents, family and friends,” the release said. The banner hangs in the Wyoming High School lobby, near the building’s entrance. “I can’t think of anything more meaningful, appropriate and sensitive,” said Mark Lampe, a guidance counselor at Wyoming High School. “I applaud St. X.” “It shows that though we may go to different schools, young people are young people,” Overbey said. “They care about each other.” “This act of kindness is an amazing demonstration of outreach from one school to another,” Marshall said. “We sincerely thank them.”

Construction will begin on Glendale-Milford Road in Evendale between Cunningham Drive and Interstate 75 after Memorial Day.
Construction will begin on Glendale Milford Road in Evendale after village council approved hiring the John R. Jurgenson Co. for the 2010 street improvement project. Jurgenson came in as the lowest and best bidder for street improvement project after it was rebid when the prices came in too high the first time. The original project included both GlendaleMilford Road and Monets Lane, but all of the bids came in over the
project budget. Council decided to rebid the project with just Glendale-Milford Road. They will review the budget in July to determine if Monets Lane should be completed this year. “We’ll bid Monets later in the year if money is there,” Director of Public Works Jim Bothe said. He said the design for that construction is completed and just needs the funding. The current road project will cost over $1,125,000. The village will pay $625,000 while a state grant will contribute $500,000.
Bothe said construction on Glendale-Milford Road, which will run from Cunningham Road near Starbucks to the bridge decks past the on ramps to Interstate 75, will start after Memorial Day. The project includes resurfacing and repainting, bridge repairs, replacing guardrails, replacing the concrete median and fixing drainage along the road. Bothe estimated the project will take three to four months. Traffic will be maintained through the area with at least one lane open in both directions.

Glendale bike patrol scores drug bust By Kelly McBride

Glendale police confiscated 25 pounts of marijuana in a drug bust by an officer on bike patrol.

The other suspects are not residents of Glendale, according to police. Glendale Lt. Dave LeCompte said the arrest was a good example of neighboring departments working together and sharing resources. “Within minutes, there were units assisting Jerry,” he said. It also outlined the value of the bike patrol, he said. “It’s great for a stealthy investigation,” LeCompte said of Barnell’s ability to come within three feet of the suspects without their knowledge. “This was an example of Officer Barnell’s outsidethe-box police work,” Police Chief Dave Warman said. “This is not a situation you normally see or encounter while on bike patrol,” he said. “But when the situation presented itself, he handled it in a professional manner.”

He called in Sharonville Police Department’s K-9 unit. “He alerted on both cars,” Barnell said of Sharonville Officer Darien Bookman’s canine partner, Cjeena, who is trained to recognize drug scents. “That’s when we found the marijuana,” Barnell said of the drugs, that weighed in at 25 pounds. Police also confiscated more than $18,000 in cash. Woodlawn police were called to the scene, because Barnell, on bike patrol, couldn’t transport any suspects. Scottie Taylor, 38, of Hamilton, was arrested that night. The other two suspects were not detained, though a grand jury will consider drug possession and trafficking charges against all three.

Glendale Police Officer Jerry Barnell was on a routine bike patrol on a recent Saturday night when he saw two cars turn down a dead-end street. It didn’t feel right to him, so he followed on his bicycle, watching Barnell them turn their lights off and park, trunk-totrunk, just after 10:30. “I watched the owner get out, open the trunk and talk to the passenger of the second car,” Barnell said. He crept closer and closer, though they didn’t see him on the dark street, and couldn’t hear him on his bike. “I rolled up, about three feet away,” said Barnell, a 12-year veteran of the Glendale Police Department. “I watched one (man) pick

Evendale house catches fire twice By Amanda Hopkins

Bad luck struck a house twice in Evendale on May 20. The Evendale Fire Department was called back for a second time to a house on the northern end of Wyscarver Drive at 3:56 a.m. after a neighbor reported the house on fire again. Capt. Mike Roa with the Evendale Fire Department
said firefighters had left the scene after extinguishing a previous fire at the house after a call from the homeowner around 8:25 p.m. May 19. He said thermal imaging cameras were used and there was no sign of any fire. After the fire rekindled the next morning, Roa said the fire was put out in about an hour and a half, but firefighters were on the scene
until noon May 20 to make sure the house was secure. Roa said the house will be monitored for the next few days. Roa said the homeowners is now staying with friends. No injuries were reported from either fire and the cause is still under investigation. There was no estimation on the cost of the damage.

St. Nicholas ready for move By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com
St. Nicholas Academy Principal Gerry Myers did not want to be the principal who both opened and closed the school. He will remain principal of the Catholic elementary school when it moves to the Our Lady of the Sacred Heart campus in Reading. Myers said the move to 170 Siebenthaler Ave., which will be the second change for St. Nicholas in four years, is overwhelming, but that the general feeling from students, staff and parents is excitement. Our Lady of the Sacred Heart will close at the end of the current school year. OLSH Principal Jo Anne Fischesser said the school is closing because of financial and demographic reasons. She said enrollment had been declining in recent years and that closing and having their students join with St. Nicholas students was the best idea. “This is a great opportunity to continue to have a (Catholic) school,” Fischesser said. In 2007, St. John the Evangelist in Deer Park and Holy Trinity in Norwood became one school known as St. Nicholas Academy and moved into the St. John building. Theresa Horn had two children go through St. John’s School and stayed with the school once St. Nicholas opened in 2007. “I stayed with the merger because I truly believe in the values taught in the

Closing ceremonies
St. Nicholas will hold a prayer service Friday, May 28, when the students and staff will remove the statue in the school building to ready it for the move. Our Lady of the Sacred Heart will have a special Mass and reception for the school’s closing starting at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 26, which Fischesser said will “honor the past, celebrate the past and envision the future.” There will be a presentation of the school history at 6 p.m., a Mass at 6:30 p.m. and a reception at 7:30 p.m. in the activity center.

What parents are saying
Horn said. Myers said all of the current St. Nicholas teachers will remain with the school and they have hired seven staff members from Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. Myers will remain principal of St. Nicholas. Fischesser, who has taught in Catholic schools for 39 years, is retiring at the end of the 2009-2010 school year. With the move to the building at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, students and staff will have plenty of space and will also have several fields on the campus for sporting events. “We’re looking forward to being there,” Myers said. There are already 310 students enrolled for the 2011-2011 school year. There were 210 students at St. Nicholas and 160 at Sacred Heart during the 2009-2010 school year.
HUMBERT’S
Tri-County Press
May 26, 2010
Theresa Horn has two children who attended St. John the Evangelist School and then attended St. Nicholas after St. John merged with Holy Trinity. “I stayed with the merger because I truly believe in the values taught in the Catholic schools. It was very hard to watch our school close, but I felt the merger was necessary to keep the Catholic schools alive,” Horn said. Maria Meinking and her family belong to Holy Trinity parish in Norwood and she sent her three children to St. Nicholas after the merge in 2007. She said carpooling with other families got creative, but the communication between parents
helped make for a smooth transition. Her youngest son will be an eighth-grader at St. Nicholas when the school moves to the Our Lady of Sacred Heart and she said she will “embrace the change” in schools. She said the parents are communicating through the PTO and staying involved through other activities to meet the new people who will all become one school, but still go to their own parish. “We can still keep our parish and our kids can still go to a (Catholic) school. We’re giving up a building but the kids can still have a school,” Meinking said.

After falling one match short of state a season ago, Princeton High School tennis players Dan Regenold and Conner Nagel are going to state together. Regenold, a senior, and Nagel, a sophomore, finished second at the Division I District Tournament. The top four doubles teams advance to the Division I State Tournament, which will be held at the Stickney Tennis Center at Ohio State University in Columbus May 28-29. “It was great to see how well they’ve gelled and to see their progress and how well they’ve played together,” Princeton head coach Rob Caress said. “Both have been really dedicated, and I think they learned from their mistakes last year.” Regenold and Nagel defeated senior Blake Waulingman and junior Drew Schroeder (6-4, 6-1) in the opening round at districts. “We were pretty aggres-
sive at the net and were able to use serve to get to the net,” Caress said. Regenold and Nagel then made short work of senior Ben Mancz and Nick Peiffer of Vandalia Butler, winning 6-0, 6-1. “We won in about an hour,” Caress said. “I think we just had a more dominant team.” In the district semis against Springboro’s Michael O’Gara and Phil Gruber, the Princeton duo won 6-0, 6-1. They faced St. Xavier seniors Jay Fovel and Sean Bandy in the district finals game and lost 62, 4-6, 6-4. Regenold and Nagel helped Princeton to an 11-2 finish in the regular season, including 7-2 in the Greater Miami Conference. Regenold went undefeated in match play during the regular season, finishing 12-0 (8-0). He was named second-team second singles. Nagel went 11-2 (7-2) and was named third-team first singles.
• Mount Notre Dame girls beat Lakota West 14-11 in the first round of the Regional tournament, May 19. MND’s Sara Kuhlman made six goals, Megan Russ made four goals and Biz Goslee, Steph Schmalz and Claire Whitaker made one goal each.

“A lot of their success was (due to experience),” Caress said. “Dan, being a senior, has really helped with that.” Regenold and Nagel advanced to districts after winning a sectional championship. They defeated Trevor Maxim and Jyh-Huar Hsu of Mason (6-1, 6-2) in the semifinals before besting Austin Stahl and Ian Streicker of Loveland (6-3, 6-4) in the finals. “I felt like they put themselves in good position to win,” Caress said. “We didn’t have to face a St. X team or another dominant (Cincinnati-area) team.” The state tournament, of course, won’t be short on dominant teams. Still, Caress said Regenold and Nagel are eyeing a run at a state title. “They’ve set the bar high for themselves,” he said. “The guys are poised and ready; they’re confident. And we’re looking forward to hopefully making a run at state.”

Wyoming student junior Mason Bourbon returned the ball during his tennis match with Cincinnati Country Day’s Joey Fritz earlier in the season.
The Wyoming tennis team avenged a 4-1 loss to Indian Hill for the Cincinnati Hills League championship by knocking the Braves out of the state team tournament a week later 3-2 May 12. “The kids worked really hard and have improved in tight matches,” said head coach Ted Plattenburg. “They focused and we were so close to winning the league they took it upon themselves to focus and execute on the court and it paid off.” Junior standout Mason Bourbon won at No. 1 singles and both of Wyoming’s doubles teams won. Gustav Plattenburg moved to No. 2 doubles with Matt Sumner and Jason Diamond and Alex Mangas played first doubles. “Jason really focused, knowing it was one of his last matches as a captain, and the team responded,” Plattenburg said. “To put those guys on really pressure-filled courts, they played tremendous.” He said Diamond’s leadership is a life skill he’ll be able to use beyond tennis. He also said he was proud of his son, Gustav, and Sumner pulling out a win. “I asked two guys who really haven’t played together before to play on a pressure-filled court knowing it would be a fight, and they pulled it out in three

In the sectional tournament, Bourbon advanced in singles as the runner-up and Gustav and Harrison Belew teamed up to make it out of the sectional doubles tournament with a thirdplace finish. “Mason is very good at what he does, he’s done it all year long and he executed again,” Plattenburg said. “Harrison hasn’t been in too many tough matches so he doesn’t have the tight match experience Gustav does so they were able to work off of each other. That’s important in doubles and it’s tough when you haven’t played much with the other guy. It takes some chemistry and hard work but they pulled it off and
Harrison hit a great shot to win in the third-place match.” The district tournament, naturally, featured a much deeper talent pool. Still, Plattenburg said the experience will make Wyoming tougher next season. “No one can take it away from those guys,” he said. “You earn what you get and hopefully that helps you in other tight matches.” In state team tennis May 21, Seven Hills beat Wyoming 3-0. On May 22, Bourbon lost to Joey Fritz of CCD in the match for first place at Division II district, earning second place, after beating Fenwick’s Raul Damania 62, 6-3 in the semifinals. He advances to state.

Evendale is developing a bicycle master plan to connect neighborhoods to the business district and generally promote a “bike culture” in the village. Do you think this is a good idea? Why or why not? No responses. Should a U.S. Supreme Court justice have prior judicial experience? Why or why not? “No, not a necessary requirement. Forty justices (36 percent of all) representative of 30 associate justices and 10 chief justices had no previous judicial experience before joining the Supreme Court. “President Obama has nominated Solicitor General Elena Kagan (with no prior judicial experience) to be the 112th Supreme Court justice. Ms. Kagan’s preparation and experience create an impeccable resume for her to assume a seat on the bench of the Supreme Court. “She has practiced law. She was clerk to Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. She was the first woman to be the dean of Harvard Law School. As the first woman to be solicitor general, she has represented the government before the U.S. Supreme Court. She is an acclaimed legal scholar with a rich understanding of constitutional law. “Elena Kagan is more than qualified to be the 112th U.S. Supreme Court Justice.” R.O.S. “Close to 40 percent of our Supreme Court Justices have had no prior experience as judges. Traditionally knowledge of the Constitution has the been the primary qualification and law professors consequently were thought highly suitable. Others had a strong tradition of public service like Justice Louis Brandeis, but no judicial experience, who then became one of the most brilliant Justices of all

Recently there seems to have been a rush to get the potential candidate a seat on a Federal Appeals Court as in the case of Justice Clarence Thomas who served only a year before his nomination. As many know, the GOP successfully sat on Elaine Kagan’s nomination to Federal Appeals court. When elected, GW Bush quickly removed her name and sent Supreme Court Justice Roberts name in its place. At the time they essentially had identical careers and education.” A.M.B. “Yes, by all means. Some top jobs, like president, are filled by persons with no experience, but the Supreme Court is a lifetime appointment. If a justice is found lacking in judicial skills it’s too late.” R.V. “The question is not ‘should’ – which forces a negative response to imply they should not. That would be ridiculous. “The proper question is ‘must’ – as in, ‘Must a US Supreme Court Justice have prior judicial experience?’ “My answer is no, but I would expect that he or she bring other legal experience and qualifications to the table, such as being a long term and well-respected Harvard Law School professor.

“I’d rather my police officers do outreach and community networking activities in addition to responding to calls, rather than writing tickets. However, the state has no business mandating what agencies can or cannot do with respect to their individual policies in traffic citations.

Signal when changing lanes or turning, don’t exceed the speed limit, don’t tailgate ... drive like you’ve got a lick of sense and skip on the traffic citations! “How about looking into citation revenues for Fairfax and Terrace Park with respect to their total budgets.

month would be ridiculously easy. Quotas should not be utilized as a revenue genrator however. The article is a little biased in this sense though because the majority of agencies would have to write an obscene amount of tickets to generate any worthwhile amounts of revenue. The state gets the big cut and only those with mayors court actually see a decent portion coming back. Cinti has ‘goals,’ not quotas.

The law may not protect against sports violence The lacrosse teams of the Ohio State University and Ashland University were locked in a very contentious game. Towards the end, an Ohio State player intercepted a pass and fired the ball in for a goal. At this time he was “bodychecked” from behind by Ashland defender William Kynast, who then stood over the downed player while taunting him. An Ohio State teammate, Brian Hanson, grabbed Kynast from behind in a bear hug. Kynast instantly flipped Hanson over his back, causing him to fall headfirst, resulting in quadriplegia. Brain Hanson’s lawyers brought a lawsuit against Ashland University. They argued the coaches’ failure to properly supervise the players, which led to this tragedy. The Supreme Court of Ohio reversed a lower appeals court ruling. They held Hanson assumed the risk of injury when he grabbed Kynast, in protection of his teammate. The highest legal authority in our state ruled that body-contact sports such as lacrosse are inherently combative, and those who participate assume the risk of rough play. The justices went on to remark
that it is difficult to distinguish when a player crosses that thin, perhaps invisible, line which separates assault from permissible sport aggresThomas siveness. Gelwicks As catastrophic as HanCommunity son’s injury was, Press guest the court columnist b e l i e v e d Kynast’s intention was not to injure and that his actions were “reflexive and instinctive.” Student athletes strive to make the team and, beyond that, win play time and perhaps school glory. Overpowering others is the essence of what they work to accomplish on the field. At the same time, each is charged with following the rules as well as those vague ideals we characterize as “sportsmanship.” We expect a lot of youths by assuming that, in the heat of battle, they will make split-second decisions in properly conducting themselves. They are expected to demonstrate behaviors that will place them in that narrow, uncertain
zone between “stick up for yourself” and “conduct yourself with decency.” Evaluating intent and determining a proper response are jobs we usually entrust to authority figures. It’s often complex, despite Justice Holmes’ jocular observation that even a dog knows the difference between being kicked and being stumbled over. Congress may debate for weeks the wisdom of a military response. Judges have the luxury of time and settled law in considering situations such as Kynast’s belligerence. Adults engaged in the daily competition to earn a living must tread an ever-moving line in navigating the written and unwritten rules of their workplace. We are expected to be very ambitious – but not too ambitious. A youth playing sports must expect varying degrees of violence. It is up to them to abruptly determine whether to respond and, if so, precisely how. It may be an unreasonable burden, but it is the way of sports and the way of the law. Thomas Gelwicks is an attorney. He lives in Blue Ash.

standards.’ “And we have another piece of evidence as to why cops earn a bad rap a lot of times. I know a lot of cops and I respect cops and what they (usually) do, but when they hide behind ---- like this it burns up a lot of the respect the public has for them. Cops are supposed to enforce the laws and not pass judgment, but cops make judgment calls every single day. When they have a hammer like this (ticket quotas) hanging over their head, guess who is going to get a ticket instead of the warning they would have otherwise received? These quotas are nothing more than revenue generating schemes – there is zero public safety enhancement to justify ticket quotas. When PDs begin to admit that they do indeed have ticket quotas, then admit that ticket quotas are a really bad idea and they are abandoning them, then we will have real progress in making things safer for everybody.” harrisonohio

Roger and Carol Rosenthal of Blue Ash were featured in a recent issue of Soap Opera Digest for bidding the highest in a silent auction for a picture with “Days of our Lives” cast members. The auction was conducted at a benefit for the Alzheimer’s Association.
Couple hobnobs with soap stars Who’s that smiling out from the pages of Soap Opera Digest with “Days of our Lives” cast members? It’s Roger and Carol Rosenthal of Blue Ash. “We were in Dallas at an Alzheimer’s benefit recently where actors from our favorite soap opera, “Days of our Lives,” were helping raise money for this terrible disease,” said Roger Rosenthal, 54, a freelance writer. “They had a silent auction in which one of the items was a photo taken with the actors to be published in Soap Opera Digest. “Needless to say, we were the high bidders,” Rosenthal said. Rosenthal and his wife bid $1,000 to benefit the Greater Dallas Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. For that they won a place on page 66 of the May 18 edition of Soap Opera Digest with actors Nadia Bjorlin (character name:
Chloe Lane), Crystal Chappell (Carly Manning), Shawn Christian (Daniel Jonas), Mark Hapka (Nathan Horton), Jay Kenneth Johnson (Philip Kiriakis) and Eric Martsolf (Brady Black). The Rosenthals are member of the Greater Cincinnati Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. “My wife, Carol, and I watch ‘Days of our Lives’ religiously and really enjoyed our trip to Dallas to be part of this worthwhile event since it was for a very worthy cause,” Roger said. “Both of our mothers were affected with this terrible disease. “We had a blast meeting the actors that we watch on television and they were very friendly and down-toearth,” he said. Carol Rosenthal, 58, is an ultrasound technician. Reported by Jeanne Houck

He even spent $26,000 of his own money to renew the field and buy team equipment. Sadly, within two months, his plans for BUNT (Bring Up Norwood Talents) came to naught. In April, the home plate umpire ordered Jack to remove a cursing, screaming player from the game, which Jack did. He ultimately was fired. Apparently, it’s true that no good deed goes unpunished. At this time, Jack’s main concerns are the team, the coaches’ pay, and his personal safety.

Bowlers can help Big Brothers If you’re looking for a way to help children and have a good time in the process, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati may have just the thing for you. The agency is now recruiting teams from all over the Tristate to take part. Each team is made up of four bowlers. People can register as a team captain and team up with three
friends or co-workers to get their foursome together, or register as an individual and the agency will help form the team. Bowlers are asked to raise $125 each, or $500 per team, with all funds going to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati. Money raised helps the agency continue its mission of matching caring adult mentors with children in our
neighborhoods who need them. Bowlers have a lot of time, and help, to get those donations. The event runs now through the end of August, and each team receives its own website to get word out to friends and colleagues about Bowl For Kids Sake, and donations can be made securely through that site. Then, in September, all the teams can
choose one of three dates to celebrate with Big Brothers Big Sisters. There are three bowling events in September at Superbowl Bellewood in Bellevue and at Madison Bowl in Oakely. More information is at www.bigsforkids.org or by calling Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati. Event coordinator Cherise Duncan can be reached at 421-4120, ext. 11.

There’s also the was in us a religious impression we’re gaining function of the utmost points with God or using our importance which we attendance as a bargaining neglect at our peril. chip – “I do this for you, In “Modern Man In God, now you do something Father Lou good for me!” Guntzelman Search of a Soul,” Jung wrote: “Among all my Worshipping with those Perspectives patients in the second attitudes proves one thing – half of life, that is to our spiritual life is in the childish category.

Wor- of them fell ill because he had lost shipping is just one of many ways that which the living religions of that we say with our lives, “And I every age have given to their followers, and none of them has love you, too!” More than clergy encourage really healed who did not regain developing the spiritual dimension this religious outlook.”
True spiritual health programs psychological health, and vice versa. “True” is italicized because not all organized religions are healthy. Religion is, ironically, the safest place to hide from God and become spiritually malformed. But in its healthy forms, religion is also one of the best places to find God. So, caveat emptor! Let the buyer (believer) beware. Humans are social beings. Gathering together for a common purpose in a church or temple, listening to the words of scripture, hymns, preaching and prayers gradually forms us. God’s grace is subtly present. If we’re open to it we gain personal insights into the meaning of life itself as well as our own individual lives and relationships. All this engenders understanding, serenity and a courage amidst the storms that often rage outside or inside us.
When the spiritual dimension of life is undeveloped, we lack this invisible means of support. Lacking faith, the weight of our struggles and sufferings can intensify or overwhelm us. A minister, preaching on the need to grow spiritually, entitled his sermon it: “Faith: you can’t wait ’til you need it.” Some excuses for not attending church are the following. 1. “Look at the news, there’s just a bunch of hypocrites there.” That’s correct. A church or temple is not a museum for saints but a hospital for sinners. 2. “Organized religion is just a crutch to try and handle life.” Response? “And what makes you think you don’t limp?” 3. “I pray better to God by myself in nature.” That’s wonderful. But we still benefit much from the communal nature of worship.
4. “I don’t get anything out of the religious service, so who go?” Granted, some places of worship are not in touch with people’s needs today. They offer ill-prepared services, mediocre music and inadequate preaching. If that’s so, try somewhere else. Your spiritual life is too important to abandon. 5. “I’m too busy to attend church services.” Guess whose priorities are out of whack? Yes, life is too busy. But the question Jesus Christ once asked still holds true: “What does it profit you to gain the whole world and lose yourself in the process?” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

actually sold for next to nothing recently and she believes its those sales that have adversely affected her
home’s value. “We’re definitely finding that values can be lower than the auditor’s assessed value because that value was done a few years ago,” said Guy Wesselkamper, a certified residential appraiser. Wesselkamper, who was not involved in McGee’s appraisal, said one local survey
done by another appraiser found area home values have lost about 10 year’s worth of appreciation. “The median value in 2000 was $129,000. It went up to $133,000, then $138,400, and it kept going up. Then it started going down, and right now we’re at $129,000 again,” he said.
McGee said, “I just feel like there are other people out there that aren’t aware of what’s going on and they need to find out. They may be planning on selling their house expecting to get one amount, and they’re not going to get it.” In addition, the county’s last mass appraisal was in 2008 – just before many val-
ues dropped. Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes said new county appraisals will be done next year and will take effect in January, 2012. Howard Ain answers consumer complaints weekdays on WKRCTV Local 12. Write to him at 12 WKRC-TV, 1906 Highland Ave., Cincinnati 45219.

You could be paying too much in property taxes if the value of your house has dropped significantly. Unfortunately, you may not realize just how much of a drop there’s been until you go to sell it. That’s what an area woman says she’s learned. Mary McGee said she was fine with the county auditor’s value of her Loveland house, which had gone up in value over the six years she’s owned and made improvements to it. McGee says, “When I went to sell the house my expectation was I would be able to sell it for at least what it was appraised for.” The auditor’s website set the value at $630,000. “There was no problem with the buyer, it’s just that when his appraiser came back, (hired by) his mortgage company, the appraisal was so low it just devastated us, devastated everyone,” said McGee. The house was appraised at $530,000, which is $100,000 lower than the value given by the county auditor in his 2008 appraisal. In fact, at that time, the auditor said her home had actually increased in value. “I didn’t do anything but pay more taxes, and then I really didn’t feel the effect of this until I sold my home. I’m wondering about other people, (I’m speaking up) for other people,” she said. McGee said some of the homes in her neighborhood and surrounding area have

The ‘berry’ thing you were craving
We finally got most of the garden in, except for pickling cucumbers, more summer squash and pumpkins. O u r corn is up a couple of inches, and the bachelor buttons that I Rita t r a n s Heikenfeld p l a n t e d volRita’s kitchen from unteer seeds (they overwintered in the garden) have turned into a 20-foot row of bobbing pink and blue flowers. They make a nice border next to the early greens. And if Mother Nature cooperates, we’ll soon be picking strawberries and gathering in my kitchen to make homemade jams. We like the cooked jam and the recipe is always included in the box of pectin that you buy.
Sugar-free strawberry jam
Try this with other berries and gelatin, as well. 2 cups strawberries 1 cup cold water 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored gelatin, sugar free Crush berries in saucepan. Add water and gelatin and mix well. Over medium heat, bring mixture to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer a few minutes. Pour into jars, let set until cool, and then cover. Store in the refrigerator for a week or frozen up to a month or so.
Homemade gourmet strawberry syrup
Try this over ice cream, pancakes or even as a flavoring for sodas and shakes. Pour some into some carbonated water or lemon soda and crushed ice

for an impromptu spritzer. Again, any type of good, ripe berry can be used. Minimum cooking time is the key to freshness. You’ll get about 3 cups.
4 generous cups ripe strawberries, caps removed 1 cup water Sugar Red food coloring (optional) Line colander or strainer with double layer of damp cheesecloth. Set over bowl. Combine berries and water and bring slowly to boiling point. Reduce heat and cook very slowly for 10 minutes. Pour into lined colander/strainer and let stand, without squeezing, until juice has dripped into bowl. Then gently squeeze pulp to get remaining juice. Measure juice into saucepan. For every cup of juice, add 1 cup sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and syrup comes to a boil. Boil two minutes. Remove from heat, skim off foam and put a few drops of coloring in if you want. Pour into clean jars and cool. Cover and refrigerate up to two months or freeze up to a year. Recipe can be doubled or tripled.
Speed scratch strawberry crisp
Or should I call it strawberry “dump” cake? This uses the same technique for the popular “dump” cakes, where you just “dump” ingredients in a pan, layering as you go. Make this with 2 pounds frozen, unsweetened berries if you can’t get fresh. Try raspberries in here, too. 7-8 cups strawberries, caps removed 1 box, 18.25 oz, plain
yellow cake mix 2 sticks butter or margarine, cut into little pieces Whipped cream for garnish Toasted slivered almonds for garnish (optional but good)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put berries in bottom of sprayed 13-by-9 baking pan. Cover with half of dry cake mix. Sprinkle half of butter over mix. Cover with rest of mix and sprinkle rest of butter pieces of top. Bake 1 hour or so until golden and crisp on top. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream and a sprinkling of the toasted nuts.
Can you help?
Like Frisch’s tartar sauce: For Eileen Coon, an Erlanger reader. “I’d like a homemade recipe with no preservatives,” she said.
Tips from readers
Cottage cheese pie: This is one popular pie. Most readers, including Joan Daugherty, who baked “Pie No. 3,” said it took a lot longer to bake, up to 11⁄2 hours, though it was delicious. Some of you wanted to know what kind of canned milk is in Mrs. Bauer’s recipe. My thinking is it is evaporated, not condensed. Darker sauerbraten gravy: I’m still getting tips about this, and most, including Marge Thomas of Western Hills, said to either brown it in a dry skillet on top of the stove, or put it in an ovenproof skillet and brown slowly in the oven, stirring occasionally.

Former mayor volunteers at museum What do the ex-mayor of Wyoming and a retired Children’s Hospital pediatrician have in common? They both volunteer their time at Cincinnati Museum Center. Dave and Judy Savage moved from Charleston, W.V., to Wyoming in 1962, and have lived there since. Dave’s career in politics eventually led him to become the mayor of their town, while Judy’s passion for health care led her in a wonderful career as a pediatrician at Children’s Hospital. As Dave’s retirement as mayor approached in 2007, the couple considered how they would spend their time after their joint retirement. As Dave put it, “volunteering in this life is one thing where you can do what you want to do.” They liked the looks of Cincinnati Museum Center, considering it was an easy place to get to; they got a lot of perks, especially with children and grand children, and there would be a huge diversity of things to do once they arrived. Their choice was made. Judy has been very flexible around the museum, going wherever the various departments need help on any given week. She loves meeting the people and

around the city of scientific and historic education. So much involved that he became the president of the program. Dave also keeps busy doing audio/visual programs, rotunda tours, lectures (he just lectured on
the history of music in Cincinnati last week) and has volunteered in the special exhibits such as “Bodies,” “Titanic” and “Gold.” He also finds time to photograph special events and exhibit openings. One of Dave’s favorite memories is when he set himself up near the flatboat in the Cincinnati History Museum and played banjo. Visitors from South Carolina came by and asked if he would play them “Wildwood Flower,” as they had worked on submarines in Charleston and that song had been their theme song. Dave was happy to oblige. The couple agrees that volunteering is a fun thing to do: there’s a tremendous need for it and it’s very satisfying. As Judy put it, “it’s a part of my being.” In regards to high schools and colleges requiring their students to do mandatory volunteer hours, Dave feels that “volunteering is something you should do out of a sense of caring, not out of a sense of obligation.” We are very fortunate to have volunteers like them. The couple, among hundreds of their peers, were recently honored at the Volunteer Appreciation Banquet. It is also official National Volunteer Week. The Savages will celebrate their 54th anniversary in September.

Your final resting place can be among your family in a cemetery close to home.
Respond by July 4, 2010 and get a FREE burial space — a value of up to $1500.00 Most Veterans Administration (VA) cemeteries allow Veterans to be buried with a spouse, not the entire family. Often, the cemetery is not close to home, making it difficult for family to visit. [Cemetery Name] is changing all that. We’ll give you a FREE burial space in our cemetery if you meet these qualifications: • Honorably discharged from the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force or Coast Guard • Present certificate of release or discharge from active duty (Form DD214) • Do not currently own or have been assigned burial property Close to Home – Close to Family. Unlike VA cemeteries, your spouse and children can be memorialized with you in our cemetery. You’ll have a choice of various locations within the cemetery, as well as a choice of burial options. With your space secured, your family can be honored alongside you. Act Now - this offer is only available until July 4, 2010!
CALL [000-000-0000]

Mercy Hospital Fairfield is proud to be the first facility in Butler County to feature da Vinci® robotic surgery. In clinical studies, use of the da Vinci® robot has demonstrated significant benefits in surgeries for gynecological cancers as well as other complex cases. This precision technology allows surgeons to perform procedures with smaller, less invasive incisions, allowing for shorter recovery times than traditional open surgeries. That means our team helps you get better faster so you can get back to the things that matter most: work, friends, family. If you need a hysterectomy, ask your doctor if da Vinci® robotic surgery is right for you.

Zach Kuhn has earned the rank of Eagle Scout. An Eagle Court of Honor ceremony was held for Zach on May 1, 2010 at St. Ignatius Hilvert Center. Zach is a member of St. Ignatius Troop 850 where Dan Rottmueller is the Scoutmaster. Zach’s project consisted of refurbishing the walking trail at St. Xavier High School. The walking trail had been developed by a group of teachers in the 1980’s but the high school was unable to use the trail due to fallen trees and over grown weeds. Zach’s project took nearly 200 hours to clean up the debris and build benches. Zach is a senior at St. Xavier High School and wanted to give back to the school because the school has given so much to him. Zach is the son of Steve and Ann Kuhn of Bridgetown who are very proud of his accomplishment. He is the grandson of Cesare and Mary Briccio and Bill and Gloria (Kuhn) Carpenter. Zach plans to attend Arizona State University on an academic scholarship in the fall.

It’s time to put all your taters in a basket Have you ever tried growing potatoes in tough old clay soil? The results are usually less than bad. But here’s the perfect solution for growing great potatoes. Grow them in a pot. Now, whether you’ve got clay soil, live in an apartment, or don’t have a garden at all, you can grow potatoes the ole yardboy way. And that’s in a container. Here’s what you’ll need: 1.) The container – I like to use bushel baskets. They breathe well, allow for good drainage, and they look good! But any container, plastic, wood or clay, laundry baskets, trash cans, potato planter bags, etc. will work, as long as it has good drainage, and is at least 12 to 18 inches wide and at least 10 to 12 inches deep. You can even use chicken wire fencing and create a potato tube to grow them in, or try stacking tires and growing inside them. 2.) Top grade potting mix – Use the good stuff for better results. If you have a compost pile, good compost will work too. Finely shredded is best. Folks have even used straw and ground
leaves. Also, an all purpose garden food, Osmocote, and or Miracle G r o . Ron Wilson ( F e e d i n g In the garden your containers can be done by mixing a general garden food in with the potting mix at the beginning and as added to the growing potato plants, or use Osmocote for a slowrelease season-long feeding, supplemented with occasional Miracle Gro when watering (maybe tow to three times during the summer), or using all natural fertilizers from start to finish will work as well.) 3.) Seed potatoes – These aren’t the ones you buy from the grocery store. These are found at the garden stores (or feed stores) and are used specifically for growing potatoes. Any variety will work. We don’t recommend using potatoes from the produce department at the grocery. Many have been treated with a growth inhibitor to keep them from sprout-
ing. But organically grown spuds should work if needed. Fill the bottom of your pot with 6 to 8 inches of the soil-less mix (or compost). Take a large seed potato, or a couple medium sized, cut up into pieces that contain the eyes, and evenly distribute those in the top of the soil-less mix. I usually plant around 6 to 8 to 10 pieces with eyes per basket. If you’re not sure about the “eyes,” you can plant whole potatoes, or cut them in half and plant the halves. Plant a bit heavier than usual when planting in containers. Cover over with another 2 to 3 inches of soil-less mix, water in thoroughly, and sit your container in the sun. Water as needed, thoroughly moistening the soil, then letting it dry and then watering it again. Once your potatoes start to grow, water as needed. Again, do not over water. Now that your potatoes are growing, you have a couple options: 1.) As the potatoes grow, keep adding your soil-less mix (or compost) to the container, always keeping about 4 inches of foliage
showing. Continue this process until the container is filled to within a couple inches of the top of the basket. Or 2.) Let the foliage grow until it’s approximately 3 to 4 inches above the top of the basket, and then fill in around the foliage with your soil-less mix (or compost) until the basket is full of soil. Now you’re all set for growing potatoes! Let your potatoes grow all summer – remember water when needed, especially during the heat of the summer (again, don’t overwater). Come late summer or fall when the foliage starts to yellow, cut it off, dump out your soil, and you’ll have a basket full of taters! It’s that easy. (New potatoes are simply harvested earlier in the season) Good luck! Ron Wilson is marketing manager for Natorp’s Inc. Garden Stores and is the garden expert for 55KRC-AM and Local 12.
