As three Wyoming seniors take with them lessons learned in school, they leave behind the contributions that make them role models for other students. Meera Basu has juggled school work with her volunteer efforts in Wyoming and beyond. She recently traveled to the Ukraine, where she spent time learning about another culture and reaching out to help those in need. Through community service in the Ukraine, she visited schools and orphanages, and met those with disabilities. “It made me realize how similar to each other we are,” she said. Basu has been a part of Project LEAD since her sophomore year, working with other students to collect donations of food and clothing for the homeless. Why did she spend her free time helping others? “Meeting the people,” she said. “That’s what drew me. “That’s what I liked. “It’s a two-way street,” Basu said. “I go in to give to them, but they give me a lot because I learn from them.” “Meera Basu is a role model in our school,” Wyoming High School Principal Aaron Marshall said. “She excels in the classroom and leads by example in serving others.” Rob Marty has been active in cross country and track at Wyoming High School. “I see the same people every day,” he said. “Through community outreach with Project LEAD and other groups, I’ve done work with the homeless, collecting clothing donations. “It gets you out of the Wyoming bubble and breaks the

Pamela Yau has found her outlet in music, as a pianist and violinist who plays with the Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestra. She uses music to give back to the community, with activities such as volunteer performances at nursing homes and hospitals. Yau plays piano every day. “My interest and passion is in music,” she said. “It’s important to follow your interests and do what you love.”
“Pamela Yau is an outstanding student and an amazing musician,” Marshall said. “Her character is as equally impressive as she has earned a high degree of respect from both staff and students.” As they head to college, the three students will take with them lessons in people. “Building a community of people is important,” Marty said. “People you look up to are influential in your life,” Basu said. “By branching out, you can get a new perspective.” “It’s important to always have people around you, to support you,” Yau said. “People are the most important in life,” she said. “It’s people who make you life.”

PHS valedictorian voices hope for future By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Princeton High School’s valedictorian found her voice during her speech at the school’s graduation, and then she threw it. Megan Piphus gave her speech through a puppet named George, through ventriloquism. “I knew what I wanted my message to be,” Piphus said. “Several teachers and administrators recommended for me to integrate my ventriloquism.” She started solo, then George joined her. “I thought it was an entertaining way to congratulate our class,” Piphus said. “A couple of children came to me afterwards and repeated what

Megan Piphus Princeton High School A voice of leadership I said during my speech,” she said. “It’s definitely more interactive and attracts all ages,” Piphus said. “People are more engaged in what I’m doing, so they’re more receptive to the message.” As a volunteer, she and her collection of puppets entertain kids with an underlying message. She participates in various community events, such as church festivals and an American
Red Cross summer youth program for at-risk children, as well as the Black Family Reunion at Sawyer Point, where she also sings. When not performing as a puppeteer, she also spends her spare time volunteering with the Hamilton County Park District’s program that helps disabled riders on horseback. Piphus also played piano for Princeton’s jazz combo. Princeton guidance counselor John Beischel said Piphus stands out as a multi-talented student. “She works very hard to accomplish all of this and takes nothing for granted,” Beischel said. “Her humility is touching. She will take those talents with her when she attends Vanderbilt University.

Glendale resident wins lawsuit to split property By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
A Glendale resident will be able to split his property into additional parcels after his victory in a lawsuit against the village. Village Council in July 2009 upheld Glendale’s planning commission’s recommendation against allowing Ralph Navaro to split property already divided once. The commission had cited the middle lot as being too small to build a house. The East Fountain Avenue resident owns nearly 21⠄2 acres. His home occupies the western portion of the property. After receiving approval to split his property into two
parcels, he had requested permission to divide one of the parcels a second time. Hamilton County Judge Beth Myers ruled that while the property is in the historic district, Navaro met all criteria to divide the land. “While this case is now concluded,� Village Administrator Walter Cordes said, “it demonstrates the care and concern that our Council and Planning Commission have as guardians of Glendale’s unique National Historic Landmark designation.� Village Solicitor Michael Honerlaw said the decision made clear that the approval was for lot division only, not whether they were buildable lots for homes to be constructed.
“If he wants to build a house there, he still has to go to Planning Commission and seek approval to be able to build on the lots,� Honerlaw said. The property is in the Village’s historic district. “The court ruled that the lots comply with all of the historic district regulations,� said attorney C. Francis Barrett, who represented Navaro in the lawsuit against the Village. “Any issues about houses on the lots are premature, and will be addressed when he decides to build,� Barrett said. “We feel vindicated, and are pleased with the decision,� he said. “That was the right decision and is in full compliance with Ohio law.�
BRIEFLY Wyoming council notes
Wyoming City Council recognized a resident for her volunteer efforts. Liz Wilson, who has served on the Planning Commission, “has brought her dedication and passion for
strengthening the fabric and vision of the community to the commission, the council and the people of the city of Wyoming,� the resolution read. Council also approved a resolution authorizing City Manager Robert Harrison to
purchase bulk salt from North American Salt. The company was the lowest of three proposed bids, at $62.26 per ton, and $65.26 a ton with piler. “We’ll be ready for the winter,� Public Works Director Terry Huxel said.

with ODOT,â€? City Administrator Derrick Parham said in a report to council at its May 19 meeting. Finance Director Kathy McNear said she was concerned because the newly paved lanes make speeding even more appealing, and with the faster speed limit, she’s worried that will lead to dangerous driving. Construction is still ongoing along the highway, though the state announced that the speed limit change could become effective within the next several months. “I’m livid about the state’s decision to increase the speed limit,â€? Mayor Doyle Webster said. “To bump it up is a big mistake.â€? Also during the meeting: • Parham reported that the city was experimenting with a system that would eliminate excess poles by combining stop signs with street signs. The city has posted the combination signs, with the street sign positioned on top of the stop sign, in several neighborhoods. Parham said he welcomes feedback from councilmembers and residents. “This will not work at every intersection, but where we can make it work, we’ll try to combine the signs,â€? he said.

Semester as congressional page opens new chapter By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Going to school and working in the afternoons isn’t uncommon for many students. When class is held in the attic of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., and the after-school job is in the nation’s capitol building, the school year is anything but typical. It was part of the Congressional Page Program, and Wyoming student Audrey Knickel’s participation last year as a junior has
helped her prepare for college in the fall. As the Wyoming High School senior is preparing to graduate, that experience that will help her adjust to her first year of college in the fall. “I lived in a dorm about two blocks from the Capitol,” Knickel said. “I had a couple of roommates. “It made the idea of going far away a little easier,” said the senior, who will head to Tufts University in the Boston area in a few months. Knickel was invited to stay for two sessions of the
semester program, and had roommates from Alabama, Utah and North Carolina through the school year. “Audrey Knickel represented Wyoming High School and surrounding community very well while serving as a House Congressional page,” Wyoming High School Principal Aaron Marshall said. She is an admirable young lady who was very deserving to be selected for this honorable role. Students started their days early and ended them late, with classes beginning at 6:45 a.m. and work last-

ing until early evening or even 11 p.m. at times. The program coupled intense classroom instruction of English, physics, American history and government classes with a demanding work schedule. Classes were small in the program of about 70 students from across the country. “It was a great opportunity to meet kids your age,” she said, “and hear how things are different in other parts of the United States.” After class each morning, Knickel would walk
Audrey Knickel had her hands full on her last day as a page in Washington, D.C. across the street to the Capitol, where she worked on the House floor, in the cloak room. The pages were messengers, taking calls, delivering correspondence and taking packages to various offices. Each day was an adventure for the student who said she doesn’t have strong political leanings. “It was interesting to see both sides of things,” she said. “We’d get calls from other politicians’ offices or
the media,” Knickel said. “And I had to memorize all the congressmen’s names and faces.” Her mom said the experience will help her adjust to life in college, and she’ll bring with her a perspective that most students won’t have. “She’ll be better prepared,” Mary Ellen Knickel said. “It was an unprecedented opportunity, especially during an election year.” For Knickel, it was pure education.
Ursuline senior suffered stroke – and learned to really live By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com
Graduating Ursuline Academy senior Christine Phan was just a sophomore when a knife-like pain sliced through her brain, nearly knocking her out. It was Nov. 17, 2007, and Phan had just suffered a stroke. Rushed to the hospital, Phan remembers being hooked up to six beeping machines, surrounded by her parents and sister and thinking, “This is how I am going to die.” Phan wasn’t exaggerating the seriousness of the
Christine Phan Ursuline Academy Suffered stroke as sophomore situation “The doctor informed my family that I had a massive bleeding in my brain,” Phan said. “He said that I had only a 1 percent chance of survival and that I would most likely die within the next few hours. “However, my mom would not give up on me so easily and argued with the doctor to have a helicopter take me to University Hos-
pital for surgery. After four hours of surgery, I was alive. Nevertheless, the doctors at UniPhan versity Hospital could not reverse the stroke, and when I woke up in the neuro-ICU, my right side was paralyzed.” Phan was 15. “The months following my aneurysm were the most trying period of my life,” Phan said. “I couldn’t walk, eat or go to the bathroom on my own. Taking a
shower required two extra people. I was like a baby again. I also had trouble finding words and communicating. I could feel people getting frustrated with me and I imagined them thinking, ‘Spit it out already!’ “Many days I felt defeated. I wondered why this happened to me,” Phan said. “Trapped in the confines of my wheelchair, I realized I had a decision to make. I could run away from what had happened to me, or I could start rebuilding my life. “Today, after countless hours of therapy and hard
work, I am living proof that I can conquer my 1 percent chance at life,” said Phan, now 17 and planning to major in international business and minor in psychology at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla. She is the daughter of Dean Phan and Angie Trandai and lives in West Chester Township. “From not being able to walk, I can once again sprint across the tennis court and gracefully hit a backhand,” Phan said. “From struggling to find the simplest words, I have become confident, humorous and trusted enough to
be elected by my peers to serve as their senior class co-president. “Simple rites of passage for normal teenagers, such as getting my driver’s license or having my first boyfriend, are miracles and treasured experiences for me.” Phan said suffering a stroke was in some ways both the worst and the best thing that has happened to her. “Before, I was robotic in my academic work, producing the same product over and over,” she said. “My brain injury brought me the gift of being human.”

MND honors teachers, educators with brunch
Mount Notre Dame’s Parish Council, a student group dedicated to promoting interest and involvement in parish life, hosts a brunch each year to honor “Angel Educators” and “Terrific Teachers” who were nominated by students, faculty and staff. Angel Educators are teachers from grade schools and parish ministers who have stood out as outstanding mentors and have inspired the nominator. Terrific Teachers are teachers from MND who have been great influences in the nominator’s education and have made a positive impact on her. This year’s brunch took place at MND April 22. Honorees included: • Ben McPheron, junior high teacher at St. Columban School in Loveland, was nominated by Loveland students Mary Conroy, Chelsi Creech, Lauren Hanzel and Susan Conroy. McPheron’s nominators described him as a “guiding light for his students, full of faith and willing to share it.” • Carol Newton is also from St. Columban. She taught MND senior Nikki Sever of Loveland in the fourth-grade and Sever said that Newton has continued to inspire her since that time. • Youth Minister Nancy Brunner of Sacred Heart parish in Fairfield was nominated by Fairfield senior Brittany Cobb. Brunner is known by the students at Sacred Heart as their “church mommy” because they say she is always willing to share her personal mistakes and they don’t have to be afraid to tell her things. • The Rev.

The first is her pastor, The Rev. Larry Tensi. Tollefson remembers that when she was a student there, Tensi would welcome them off the buses in the morning and say good-bye in the afternoon. • Tollefson also nominated St. Columban’s music director Mary
Bellman, describing her as a role model to her and to many of the young women at St. Columban. Bellman said she spotted Tollefson’s musical talent and invited her to be a cantor, beginning Tollefson on a liturgical music career. • MND freshman Elizabeth Guye of Evendale nominated Our Lady of the Sacred Heart teacher and MND alumna Wendy Knapmeyer Schworer of Reading. Schworer said she could be all business when it came to learning, but she also knew how to have fun. • MND sophomore Theresa Guye of Evendale nominated Mary Osborne, her sixth-grade teacher at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.
Some of the words Guye used to describe Osborne are passionate, dedicated, hard working and fun loving. • Because of MND Spanish teacher Maria Ushupun of Greenhills, Chachoff not only excelled in a foreign language, but she also realized that if she ever needs anything she knows she can always count on Ushupun for help and support. Ushupun was part of the adult team on Chachoff’s first ROPes retreat and was on the team again when Chachoff served as a senior leader. • Freshman Zai Johns of Colerain Township nominated Jenny Goss of West Chester Township, one of MND’s four teachers from Ireland.

Wyoming High School freshman Gabby Potvin pitches during Wyoming’s 3-2, bottom of the seventh loss to Indian Hill April 30. Potvin is third in the CHL with a 1.40 ERA and fifth in wins with 10 and strikeouts with 88.
The team was fairly young, as the Cowboys had five sophomores that saw considerable playing time. That has Fiehrer optimistic for the future. “From where they started to where they ended, they had really good years,” he said. “A lot of guys got better as the year went on and that will definitely help over the next few years.” The team did have some senior standouts, including senior Evan Aleshire. He was second in the CHL in batting average, hitting .513. He led the team in hits with 47. Junior Ryan Bundy and sophomore shortstop Max Kadish also had big years at the plate. Bundy hit .427 and Kadish hit .451. Sophomore Adam Chalmers led the team in RBIs with 38. “This is probably the best offensive team we’ve ever had,” Fiehrer said. “They scored more runs than any other team I’ve had.” The team’s top pitcher, Joe Panos, missed a considerable amount of the season and having him healthy next year will be a big boost for Wyoming. “We have a lot of young guys who pitched and threw the ball well at

Overall, he said the team had great chemistry. “This will go down as one of my favorite teams I’ve ever had,” Fiehrer said. “These guys hustled, played hard and stayed together. Just a great group of guys.” The Wyoming softball team finished third in the

with 21 and pitcher Gabby Potvin had 10 wins and a 1.34 ERA, good for third in the conference. Zennie also had 21 RBI and Bailey DeBlasis and Katie Horn each had 15. Wyoming’s season was ended in a 2-1 loss to the eventual sectional champion, Amelia.
Record-breaking Moeller rolls to state By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Moeller High School baseball team is headed to the Division I final four for the third consecutive season after a dominating display at the regional level. Moeller put up seven first inning runs on Centerville May 27 and won 8-4 and took down a red-hot Mason team 11-1 May 28 to qualify for the state semifinals. “Our guys didn’t underestimate Mason. They were as hot as any team still playing. Their record might fool some people, but our guys know how good La Salle is and Mason beat them,” Moeller head coach Tim Held said. The Crusaders were led by Patrick Jones of Paddock Hills in the regional finals, as he had five RBI in the win. Robby Sunderman of Sharonville pitched a strong game, surrendering only one run to the Comets. David Whitehead of West Chester pitched a complete game against Centerville. Both pitchers are 9-0 this season. Moeller has earned a rematch with Elder High School in the state semifinals. Moeller has defeated Elder twice this season, 9-1 and 4-3, but Held said the Crusaders don’t have to win a state title to appreciate the season they’ve had. “In a one and done tournament, a bounce here or there can decide a game. It’s tough just getting out of Cincinnati because there are such good teams here,” Held said. “We think we have the talent to win it, but we know we have the bullseye on our back and that everyone is gunning for us.” The Crusaders are a natural favorite at the state finals as Moeller is the No. 1 team in the state. The Crusaders (29-1) since April 3 and have had a number of

MND softball says good-bye to seniors By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
It’ll have to wait at least another year. Seeking its first district title since 1989, the Mount Notre Dame High School softball team fell 4-1 to

ready to say good-bye to the seniors. It was hard to let go.” Those seniors – Kristi Boering, Mel Burns, Sarah Young and Dayden Shaffer – helped MND set a singleseason school record with 22 wins. After starting 5-3, the Cougars went 17-3 over their last 20 games to finish 22-6 and second to Mother of Mercy in the Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League Scarlet Division. “This was an outstanding year,” Cornelius-Bedel said. More impressive than MND’s win total, perhaps, is against whom the wins came. In addition to playing in the typically tough GGCL – MND went 7-3 in league play – the Cougars scheduled games against teams from the GMC and FAVC, as well as out-of-city teams from Toledo, Dayton and Columbus. “This is the most difficult schedule MND has ever played,” Cornelius-Bedel said. Leading the Cougars offensively was Boering, who finished third in the GGCL-Scarlet with a .478 average. A shortstop, she also led the team in hits (44), runs (36), doubles (nine), triples (five), home runs

Mount Notre Dame High School senior pitcher Sarah Young works against leaguerival McAuley during sectional play May 13. MND won 6-0. (four), stolen bases (23) and on-base percentage (.525). “Kristi was the heart and soul of this team,” Cornelius-Bedel said. “She was a phenomenal player to coach. She knew the game in and out and refused to accept defeat. Anyone who has seen her play knows she is among the best in the city.” Boering has signed with Wright State University. Burns, meanwhile, hit .333 and was second on the team in runs (22) and steals (15) and third in hits (29). “She’s the first and only player I’ve coached all four years at MND,” CorneliusBedel said of the Loveland resident. “She was a very special player for the coaches.” Starring on the mound was Young, who pitched 188.2 of a possible 191 innings this year. She finished 22-6 with 251 strikeouts, a 1.22 ERA, a 0.82 WHIP and 10 shutouts. Cornelius-Bedel said Young matured on the mound this year and never seemed rattled.
“Sarah had a great year,” she said. “She earned a lot of respect for herself from other coaches in the area.” Other top performers included Shaffer, who hit .275 and had an OBP of .310; and junior catcher Avery Larkin, who hit .389 and finished second in the GGCL-Scarlet in RBI (31). “Avery’s the hardest worker on our team,” Cornelius-Bedel said. “She worked day in and day out to get to where she is today. She earned every bit of the season she had this year.” Sophomore third baseman and Loveland resident Chelsea Jackson hit .295 with 12 RBI and nine steals, while junior first baseman Lilly Cahall hit .232 but was second on the team with 16 RBI. Sophomores Emiley and Rebecca Gomez each stole 12 bases. Other contributors were sophomores Alex Lohman and Alexis Shumate, as well as freshmen Erin Rice, Katie Rice, Sydney Crowley and Maria Rojas

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Thank you
Wyoming High School Principal Aaron Marshall, Assistant Principal Mike Overbey, counselors, teachers and ancillary staff: It is with great appreciation that I write this letter on’behalf of myself and my husband for the wonderful care, concern and support you offered the students of Wyoming High School in the recent death of their classmate Richard Beck. As a parent you worry about how your child will deal with such a horrible tragedy. Do they have the support around them they need to give them what we may not be able to provide them at home? Am I saying the right
things to help them? When you are not sure you are providing your child all these things, it is so comforting to know that they are surrounded by people that love them and want to help them All of you have been amazing in helping these kids grieve in their own way and in helping them realize that time does heal the pain. At the funeral I watched Mr. Marshall and Mr. Overbey wait for each student to pay their respect and then take each one of them in their arms and hug them. They held them as long as each one of the needed. They let each of those students know that they had their support and love. What wonderful men you are to put
your own grief aside to take care of our kids. Thank you. Thank you to the teachers for showing your support in so many ways. Thank you for all the hugs, talks and unspoken words. Thank you for understanding that these kids were in no mind set to do school work. Thank you for delaying due dates on projects to allow them the time they needed to grieve. Thank you to the ancillary staff that came to the school the day of the accident. Thank you for the hugs and words of encouragement. Thank you to everyone who helped plan and organize the senior picnic. What a wonderful idea. The seniors needed something to help them get back on

“It doesn’t influence my decision to go or not to go. I love going to the Reds games and try to catch a game (at least) once a year. It’s always fun and the stadium is (still) so beautiful with a great view. If they don’t win the night I’m there, no big deal – you win some and you lose some. I’m a Reds fan through the highs and lows.” J.K.
“I really don’t care where the Reds are in the standings. I like to go anytime the Cubs are in town. Was born and raised in Wrigley and am sticking with them till they win. “However, Great American Ballpark, while not Wrigley Field, is a great venue for baseball, especially compared to that stadium monstrosity called Riverfront. Went just a week ago to see St. Louis and really enjoyed the atmosphere. So support your team, the facilities, the city, even if they are the Reds.” J.Z.

“Most drivers exceed this speed when able to anyway.” rojomi “There shouldn’t be a speeding problem if the roads are designed for an appropriate speed and if the posted speed is reasonable. Both numbers should be approximately the same. Most drivers drive at a speed they feel comfortable, not some arbitrary number posted on a sign.” MadDogUC03 “If 75 can handle 65 and in some states 70 mph I think 275 can handle 65.” kyemployee GARY LANDERS/STAFF
The bleachers at Great American Ball Park will be full if the Reds continue their winning ways. “It has been years since I enjoyed a Reds game. I was there when Pete hit 4,192 and I also went to a World Series game years ago. “I enjoyed the Big Red Machine of the 1970s. The Reds of the last 25 years have not impressed me very much. However, if they continue to perform I could take in a day game.” J.S.D. “It really doesn’t matter, I am not a baseball fan. I follow the scores and the standings only. I find the game is too slow. I prefer the NFL and the NHL.” M.A.M. “We are fortunate to have weekday season tickets; some we use and some we pass on to others. We’ll be going to as many games as we always do because we love to watch the Reds play. However, having a contending team makes each game more important and more fun to watch. I’m happy to say we’ve seen two walk-off home runs, several come from behind wins, and only one loss!” M.K.T.

Cars and trucks make there way along I-275 heading east near Route 4. Ohio Department of Transportation wants to increase the speed limit in that stretch of I-275 from 60 mph to 65 mph. much about distracted and sloppy driving. That’s what they need to focus on!” Kleer-Thinkin “This isn’t about safety, it’s about revenue enhancement, the lower the limit, more tickets to be written, every ville on that stretch is out there two or three out of five nights shooting radar.” stupified

Legislature nurses changes to cut health care red tape If there’s one thing that I’ve learned from talking with my constituents, it’s that we share a common desire to provide and care for our families. In the State House, we have been quietly working to improve the lives and health of our constituents. The Ohio House has moved a number of initiatives designed to improve access to and management of health care, reduce costs and red tape, and improve overall health, as well as to provide a healthier environment in which to live, work, and play. We recently passed a Comprehensive Nursing Education Bill, Senate Bill 89, to address the critical shortage of nursing educators. The lack of nursing educators is compounding an already dangerous nursing shortage. Just last year, 88,000 qualified nursing applicants across the country were denied admission to nursing school because of the shortage of faculty. S.B. 89 directs aid to the nursing education programs with the greatest need; institutes mentoring
and mediation programs for nursing students, nurses and hospitals, and makes it easier for experienced advanced practice nurses State Rep. to move to Ohio Connie and get their Pillich Ohio license, including continCommunity uing their prePress guest scriptive authorcolumnist ity. I voted yes and Gov. Strickland signed this measure into law. A number of other proposals have passed the House. but await action in the Senate. We promote establishing a medical home (H.B. 198) to provide better care and reduce emergency room costs. H.B. 398 will allow more elderly to stay in their homes by receiving long-term care at home. H.B. 314 permits nurses to pronounce death and H.B. 190 expands the practice of dental hygienists.
Insurance companies would have new requirements to cover those with diabetes (H.B. 81) and autism (H.B. 8), follow appropriate standards for publishing physician designations (H.B. 122), and refrain from unilateral changes to contracts with their physicians (H.B. 185). Wellness would be improved by restricting the calories of the snacks vended to K-12 students at school (H.B. 60) and creating mosquito abatement zones (H.B. 35). These initiatives, which I supported with my yes vote, are not yet law. They are now being considered in the Ohio Senate. Health and wellness are extremely important aspects of life here in Ohio. At the State House, we take that seriously. Hopefully, these initiatives will enhance that quality of life for all Ohioans. State Rep. Connie Pillich represents Ohio’s 28th House District in the Ohio House of Representatives. Contact her by phone at 614-466-8120, toll free 1800-282-0253 or by email to district28@ohr.state.oh.us.

Local eye doctor working with NASA By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com
A Montgomery doctor could have a hand in research conducted on the last two NASA shuttle missions. Dr. Elliot Kirstein, an opthamologist who practices in Sycamore Township, also works as a research director for the United States for the Swiss company Ziemer Opthamology, and is working with and training NASA officials to use the Pascal Tonometer. The instrument, designed by Ziemer Opthamology, is used to measure eye pressure and test for glaucoma. NASA wants to use the Pascal Tonometer to study the effects of zero gravity on the eye. Kirstein said that body fluids in astronauts change when they are at zero gravity for an extended period of time. Kristein said NASA officials think that fluid increases in the brain at which connects to the eye through the optic nerve and can cause extensive damage to the retina. Kirstein has been involved in the development of the Pascal Tenometer for the last seven years and his job when he traveled to Johnson Space Center in April was to train NASA officials and help them understand the work-

Kirstein said NASA has done research and knows zero gravity decreases bone density, causes loss of muscle tone and changes the distribution of body fluids. He said the main point of the research is to prevent lasting negative effects on the astronauts.

Some of the residents at the Glendale Place Care Center Senior Prom. Wearing their gold crowns, Kings Jerry Kreitner and Martin Halberstein are sitting in the front row, and King Joseph Gray is on the second row to the right. Queen Mary Jane Hoernschemeyer and her son, Bill, are just stepping up to the dance floor.
Glendale Place event fit for kings and queens
Wir hatten eine Party, nous avons eu une partie, tuvimos una fiesta. No matter if in German, French or Spanish, it all means the same. The activities department of Glendale Place Care Evelyn Center, under the Perkins direction of Darlene Community Bryant, did indeed Press have a party for all the residents. Actucolumnist ally, it was their Senior Prom. This is the third year, and it just gets better and better. There are four residential units at Glendale Place, and a king and queen are selected from each. Wilma and Charles Bailey are married, and were selected as the queen and king from unit 300. Queen Mary Jane Hoernschemeyer lives in unit 400, and her son Bill, waltzed her around the dance floor. Her king was Jerry Kreitner. Martin Halberstein and Sally Feitz reigned from unit 200, and Joseph Gray and Ann Kelley were unit 100’s king and queen for a day. As befits any royal event, the food was a crowning achievement from the dietary department. We feasted on pigs in a blanket, petite fours, fruit salad, broccoli bites, punch and
lemonade. Ron Newport and his threepiece band got feet moving and pulses revved up. You should have seen the smiles and sparkling eyes. This year there seemed to be more dancing than before. Ron has been entertaining seniors for many years. Darlene has been associated with him for 15 years. Regardless of the walkers, canes, wheelchairs and oxygen tanks, the wonderful staff got everyone nicely dressed and to the multi-purpose room for the party. They did a phenomenal job. The team enjoys putting on the prom for the residents, as much as the residents enjoy attending. As they have for the past three years, students from the Paul Mitchell Beauty School in Sharonville donated their services to make up all the ladies, style their hair and polish their nails. Gorgeous prom dresses of different shades of red, lavender, pink, green, blue and white with gold trim were generously donated by the staff and family members. Visitors have also been kind enough to donate gowns. Last year senior citizens and others volunteered their time, and this year Sister Jane from St. Rita’s School For The Deaf in Evendale came in to lend a hand. Even though it was their day off, several staff members arrived in prom dresses to offer their services. And,
We feasted on pigs in a blanket, petite fours, fruit salad, broccoli bites, punch and lemonade. let’s not forget the family members. Several gladly pitched in to help, not just serving and dancing with their own loved one, but doing the same for other residents. Darlene bought the beautiful rose boutonnières and corsages from Kroger. They were different colors to match, or contrast with, whatever the residents wore. She, Rhonda Brocks, and various family members attached safety pins to secure them to the residents so they wouldn’t be stuck by straight pins. Don’t ask me why, but I just love the vine-covered arbor that all residents pass through to have their photographs taken. Every year Darlene’s team beautifully redecorates it with new ribbon and flowers. The photos are posted in the multi-purpose room, to the left of the reception desk. Do drop by and take a look; you’ll love them. Evelyn Perkins writes a regular column about people and events in the Tri-County Press area.

Playhouse hosts children’s auditions The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park will have auditions Saturday, July 10, and Sunday, July 11, for children interested in performing in the 2010 production of “Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol,” presented by KeyBank. The show, an annual local holiday tradition, celebrates its 20th year this season with performances running Dec. 2 to 30. Nine area children will be cast to fill speaking and non-speaking parts in the annual production. Roles are available for boys and girls ages 8 to 13 years old. Additionally, the part of

To be eligible, children must not turn 14 before Dec. 30. Children should submit a resume of any experience to the Playhouse, along with a photograph (a good quality school or family photo is acceptable). The resume and photo must be submitted again even if they have been sent in the past. The resume must indicate exact birth date and height and include an e-mail address and telephone number. At
the audition, children will be asked to share a one-minute monologue, story or poem with an English accent. Interested children must be available for all rehearsals, most of which are scheduled around school hours. Rehearsals for “A Christmas Carol” begin in mid-November. Children must also be available for all performances of the show, which are scheduled Tuesdays through Sundays and which include some weekday student and public matinees. Headshots and resumes should be sent to the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park,
Attn: AUDITIONS, c/o Michael Haney, P. O. Box 6537, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45206. To be considered, all photos and resumes must be received at the Playhouse by Wednesday, June 30. Those selected to audition will be contacted by telephone to schedule specific times. All auditions will be held at the Playhouse, located in Eden Park at the edge of Mount Adams.

Life blesome to admit that they often repress one of the poles of the tension. There are other kinds of ambivalence besides relational ones – such as uncertainty or indecisiveness about a certain course of action, ambivalence about a job, religion, sibling, etc. Children at first need unequivocal messages as they begin to grow. Before maturity we are not in possession of capacities for dealing with the ambiguities and ambivalences of life. We encounter them as painful contradictions. Even
humble, understanding of the human condition, and familiar with mysteries. Ambivalence is experiencing contradictory feelings or attitudes toward the same person, object, event or situation. Conflicting feelings are often strong toward parents since they are agents of both discipline and affection. Spouses may also notice sporadic love/hate sentiments toward the other. The polarity of such feelings can be temporarily disturbing when they occur. Some find them so trou-
at a tender age we experience both gratification and frustrations from the same parents. At first we attempt to manage our ambiguity and ambivalence with various strategies, many of them unhealthy. We may blunt our feelings, repress, distract ourselves, dissociate, deny, and later on develop addictions or personality traits. Eventually we’re meant to learn healthier ways. We learn to recognize and hold the tensions between opposites such as love/hate, dark side/good side, vindictive-
ness/forgiveness, and choose to acknowledge but discipline the undesirable. We come to see we are imperfect humans living in am imperfect world, yet struggling for wholeness as a person. Life contains many rich experiences as well as paradox and challenging mysteries. In the midst of living our questions, which are often enveloped in anxiety, ambiguity and ambivalence, poet Rainer Maria Rilke offers practical advice: “Bear with patience all that is unresolved in your heart, and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were rooms yet to enter or books written in a foreign language. Don’t

How grown up are we? At old-time county fairs young men sought to demonstrate their physical strength by swinging a huge mallet and striking a mat. It propelled a weight upward. If it hit and rang the bell, it was evidence they were macho. What are some ways to measure how developed we are inside? “The test of a psychologically mature person, and therefore spiritually mature, will be found in his or her capacity to handle what one might call the Triple As: anxiety, ambiguity and ambivalence,” writes Dr. James Hollis in “Creating A Life.” Anxiety, as we well know, is the agitation and stress we feel when we anticipate impending risk, danger, catastrophe or misfortune. The future threat may be real or imagined, internal or external, but always uncomfortable. Recall how we feel when called upon to speak to a crowd. Ambiguity is a confusing grayness. It flows from our ego’s desire for clarity and security. Yogi Berra creates ambiguity when he advises, “If you come to a fork in the road – take it!” We want life, God, and the world to be in a permanently knowable condition. The younger or less mature we are the more we become frustrated by the absence of clarity. The older and more mature we become doesn’t banish the ambiguities and anxieties of life, but we are more able to tolerate them as part of life. Our experiences and maturation render us more

Traditional tabbouleh for son’s birthday dinner It will be a Lebanese dinner this Sunday for my s o n , Shane, to celebrate Rita his birthHeikenfeld day. I have Rita’s kitchen to ask what he wants, but I’m pretty sure tabbouleh and fried kibbee will be requested. I’ll be making stuffed grape vine leaves, too, since the wild grape leaves are the perfect size right now. I wish I had some of Joe and Mary Lou Zarig’s homemade Lebanese flatbread to serve with it – Joe and Mary Lou are great Lebanese cooks and bakers. I’ll also make some baklava. I love preparing my family’s Lebanese recipes and I can never get enough. That’s why you’ll find
me at the St. Anthony of Padua’s Lebanese festival Sunday, June 6, from noon to 8 p.m. The church is on Victory Parkway. This festival is fun, with rides, Lebanese dancing and authentic Lebanese food. I love everything they prepare! Get details at 513961-0120.
My mom’s tabbouleh
Traditionally, this is served with wild grapevine leaves to act as a scoop, or leaf lettuce, or flatbread. This is a real “go to taste” recipe, wonderful as a main meal, stuffed into pita pockets for lunch, or as a versatile, healthy side dish. Tabbouleh is a healthy salad using bulgur wheat (great for lowering cholesterol and contains vitamin E) and an abundance of summer vegetables. It’s all the rage in local delis, and is expensive to buy.
1 cup bulgur wheat 4-6 tomatoes, chopped 1 bunch green onions, chopped 1 bunch parsley, chopped 1 bunch radishes, chopped (optional but good) 1-2 regular cucumbers, peeled and chopped, or 1 English cucumber, chopped 1 bell pepper, chopped 2-3 teaspoons cumin, or to taste Several sprigs mint leaves, chopped (opt.) Several sprigs basil leaves, chopped (opt.) Salt and pepper to taste 1 ⁄4 cup canola oil, or to taste Place wheat in bowl and rinse under cool water three times. Leave about 1⁄4 inch of water after the third rinse on top of the wheat to soften it. Let sit for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Squeeze to drain any remaining liquid out. Meanwhile, mix your vegetables:
Add all vegetables in large bowl, mixing gently. Add cumin, mint, basil and salt and pepper. Add wheat, and mix well. Add oil, a little at a time, and mix. Taste for seasonings. Add lemon juice if desired. Serves six to eight as a main meal, 10 as a first course.
Tips from Rita’s Kitchen
Bulgur wheat is sometimes called cracked wheat. It looks a little bit like cous cous and is creamy to tan in color. It comes in several grinds. I like the fine or medium grind. Some folks like to put a squeeze of lemon juice in the salad.
Jim Grassinger’s mom’s mock turtle soup
Jim and Gerri Grassinger live in Anderson; our kids went to high school with theirs.
We have many fond memories of Jim filming the kids during track races for McNicholas High. Jim shared his Mom’s mock turtle soup and it looks delicious. No wonder Jim said it’s a family favorite. I hope he invites me over for a bowl. 1 pound ground beef 1 pound ground veal 1 32-ounce bottle ketchup * 4 cups water 1 large onion, diced 1 rib celery, diced 1 lemon, sliced 1 teaspoon allspice 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped 2 tablespoon vinegar 1 ⁄4 cup browned flour Crumble uncooked beef and veal into water, add ketchup, water, onion and celery in large pot. Add lemon and allspice and cook for about 45 minutes. Add vinegar and chopped eggs. Cook about 15 minutes.
Rita on YouTube
See Rita’s 3 seconds of fame on the “Today Show.” One of her videos was shown in a montage of videos on YouTube of “ordinary people who made a success with YouTube.” Link is http://tinyurl. com/24gtoq3. Brown flour in a dry skillet, stirring frequently until medium brown, then add browned flour slowly. Cook a few minutes longer. If soup is too thick add a little more water. Remove lemon slices before serving. * Fill ketchup bottle with water, shake and add to pot also. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author.

Friends’ host June used book sale
PROVIDED.
Anne Keller, Friends’ executive director of North Avondale, sorts through some of the thousands of records that will be available at the June book sale with retired Groesbeck Branch Manager Chuck Faidley of Groesbeck, who is now a volunteer with the Friends.
The upcoming 38th annual used book sale, sponsored by the Friends of the Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County, June 6-11 at the Main Library (800 Vine Street) offers more than just good book bargains. This year there are over 5,000 vinyl records, all priced at a dollar each. “We had a large donation through an estate late
last year, and there is a great selection of classical and big band records,” said Anne Keller, Friends’ executive director. “We’ve always priced records at a dollar per disc, and people have continually donated them over the years. However, this collection is in near pristine condition, and if you love vinyl, you should love what we have to offer.” This is the fifth year the sale will be held in the Main Library atrium. Last year’s sale set a record of nearly $90,000, slightly more than
2008’s $87,000, which was a 40 percent increase over 2007. “Sales for all used book sales have steadily grown over the past decade,” said Keller. “Gross used book sales (excluding Shop activity) are up 15 percent for the fiscal year to about $232,252.” The public sale hours are 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, June 6; from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Wednesday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday; and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday (Bag Day). On Friday, purchase a Friends’ shopping
bag for $10 and fill it up. Buy one bag or 100. Proceeds from the book sales fund thousands of children’s and adult programs throughout the year and make these events available free of charge to the public. They also sponsor the annual summer reading program and purchase items for the Library’s collection. For more information contact the warehouse at 369-6035, e-mail friendsofplch1@fuse.net, or visit http://friends.cincinnatilibrary.org/.

Local business volunteers More than 30 employees from Mike Albert Vehicle Fleet Management spent an afternoon at the Blue Ash warehouse of Matthew 25: Ministries, sorting clothes, packaging toiletries and preparing soap for shipment to those in need around the world.

Attention: Honorably discharged U.S. Veterans
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. Crown Hill Memorial Park 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!

Tips to remember when gardening this season Gardening offers many benefits including the opportunity to increase physical Tim Ingram activity and eat nutri- Community tious vegeta- Press guest bles. columnist However, there are some important tips to remember to stay safe and healthy this gardening season.
Get vaccinated
• All adults should get a tetanus vaccination every 10 years. Tetanus lives in
the soil and enters the body through breaks in the skin. While using sharp tools to dig in the dirt, and handling plants with sharp points, you are particularly prone to tetanus infections during gardening season. • Before you start gardening this season, make sure your tetanus/diphtheria (Td) vaccination is up to date.
Dress to protect
• Wear long sleeves, wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses and sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher for protection from the sun. • Protect yourself from diseases like West Nile virus and Lyme disease caused by
mosquitoes and ticks by using insect repellent containing DEET and also wear long-sleeved shirts and pants tucked in your socks. • Wear safety goggles, earplugs, gloves, sturdy shoes and long pants as appropriate when using lawn mowers, other machinery, chemicals or sharp tools.
Put safety first
• Follow instructions and warning labels on chemicals and garden equipment. • Make sure equipment is working properly and sharpen tools carefully to reduce the risk for injury. • Pregnant women
should be particularly careful to wash hands after gardening and before eating fruits or vegetables from a garden to reduce the risk of Toxoplasma infection.
Watch for heat-related illness
• Even short periods of time in high temperatures can cause serious health problems. Monitor your activities and time in the sun to lower your risk for heat-related illness. • Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink. • Avoid drinking liquids that contain alcohol or large amounts of sugar; these

actually cause you to lose more body fluid. • Take breaks often and stop working if you experience breathlessness or muscle soreness. • Pay attention to signs of heat-related illness, including extremely high body temperature, headache, rapid pulse, dizziness, nausea, confusion or unconsciousness.
Know your limits
• If you have been inactive, start slow with just a few minutes of physical activity and gradually build up time and intensity. • If you are taking medications that may make you drowsy or impair your judg-
ment or reaction time, don’t operate machinery, climb ladders, or do activities that may increase your risk for injury. • Listen to your body. Monitor your level of fatigue, heart rate and physical discomfort. Following these safety precautions will ensure you can stay healthy to enjoy your homegrown produce all season long.

Free health screenings, presentation at Sycamore Senior Center Community Press Staff Report
The National Council on Aging is continuing its series of events across the United States to increase awareness and facilitate a more productive dialogue between patients, caregivers and health care providers about pacemakers and the benefits and risks of medical imaging. The next event, titled “A Look Within: What to Know, What to Do, What to Ask,” will be from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday, June 8, at the Sycamore Senior Center, a Maple Knoll Community Program at 4455 Carver Woods Drive. It will feature free health screenings and a presentation by a local cardiologist, who will answer questions and let people know what discussions they need to be having with their own physician. Free breakfast will also be served. Free activities include heart rhythm screening, blood pressure screening and edema consultation. The event is free and open to the public, however, registration is required by June 4. To RSVP, call 984-1234. More than one out of four deaths in Ohio are due to heart disease and in 2006 alone, 27,886 Ohioans died
Livinglife
from heart disease (26.1 percent of total deaths in Ohio). Heart disease can often lead to pacemaker implantation. Nearly 80 percent of patients with pacemakers are over the age of 65, but many of these patients are unaware of the safety concerns surrounding MRI procedures. A survey by NCOA, made possible by a grant from Medtronic, found that three in 10 electronic implantable device patients have had an MRI despite the risks, and of this group nearly 20 percent reported experiencing problems with their device afterwards. Nearly all health care providers surveyed – 98 percent – support more education on the issue. This survey has prompted NCOA to host a series of community events across the country. At the events, experts will share the results of the survey and provide information about medical imaging safety. These free events are being held at community centers across the country and began in Orlando in February – American Heart Health Month. For information about all of the events please visit www.ncoa.org/events.

New Children’s Zoo ready for play Children recently had the opportunity to swing like monkeys, hang like pottos and balance like cats at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden with the official grand opening of the newly renovated Joseph H. Spaulding Children’s Zoo. The Children’s Zoo has been under construction for the last four months. “The Children’s Zoo has been a special place for families for a long time,” said Chief Operating Officer Dave Jenike. “We continue to look for more ways to inspire visitors with wildlife every day. This new area is the perfect place for families to relax, interact with animals and have lots of fun.” In 1937, the Cincinnati Zoo opened one of the world’s early children’s zoos and has been renovated several times since. In 1947, the Children’s Zoo was renovated in time to be used by a new generation of post-war baby boomers. The Children’s Zoo was greatly improved in a 1964 renovation. And, in 1985 the Children’s Zoo was completely rebuilt in a major renovation, made possible by Ruth Spaulding in memory of her son and husband. Twenty five years later, the Joseph H.

Residents honored
Evendale resident Melissa Gottschlich and Wyoming resident Nikita Gabrielle Taggert were honored by the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati as YMCA Character Award recipients. All 40 YMCA Character Award honorees were recognized for exemplifying the YMCA’s core character values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. They give of their time unselfishly to help others while wholeheartedly working to better themselves. They are leaders and role models, setting examples for younger generations. Gottschlich, 18, is a student at Ursuline Academy. Gottschlich is driven to helping others and making the world a better place, and especially enjoys working with children. She leads by example, teaching others the importance of respect and responsibility. She is extensive with her volunteer work that includes tutoring students at North Avondale Montessori School. Gottschlich is also a camp counselor at Gorman Farm, involved in her school’s Big Buddies program, and captain of her team in the Relay for Life cancer fund raiser. At school she is a member of the student council, cheerleading squad and the National Honors Society.
During the summer she spends her time making a positive i m p a c t through her work as a Gottschlich lifeguard and b a b y s i t t e r. It’s no wonder she was honored by Tri County Mall in 2009 as a “Kid With a Taggart H e a r t ” Award recipient. Gottschlich also developed and implemented the Northwest Community Challenge Coalition’s “Is it Worth the Risk?” social marketing campaign, brochures, posters and other materials. Taggart, 18, is a student at Wyoming High School. Always with kind words of encouragement for others, a smiling Taggart enjoys getting involved and giving back. She is a member of her high school’s competitive swim and track teams, as well as the Powel Crosley, Jr. YMCA Tiger Shark and Wyoming Sea Dragons swim teams. Taggart shares her musical talent through her involvement in the Cincinnati Children’s Girls Choir and WHS Honor Choir. Additionally, she serves her local
community by volunteering at the Wyoming High School Brothers and Sisters United, Mercy St. John and the Twin Towers nursing home. She does it all while maintaining a high GPA, and, she’d tell you she remains committed to both the demands of competitive swimming and serving her community. “On any given day there are stories of teens contributing in their own unique and positive way. The YMCA Character Awards were created to celebrate that compassion and leadership that is making a very meaningful impact,” said Rebecca Kelley, YMCA district vice president.
