BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Wyoming No. 4 Ohio high school

Also ranked among best in nation By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Wyoming City Schools has placed among the best in Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report rankings. To be rated among the top high schools, U.S. News and World Report looked at the Ohio Graduation Test, which assesses reading,

writing, math, science and social studies skills. Students must earn at least 20 credits in various subjects. From those rankings, U.S. News ranked the schools in terms of college readiness, determining how well schools prepared students for college-level instruction by analyzing student performance on advanced placement or international baccalaureate programs. Wyoming High School ranked fourth on the list in Ohio, with Cin-

cinnati’s Walnut Hills topping the list and Indian Hill High School at number three. Nationally, Wyoming High School placed 143rd. The Newsweek list of the top 1,000 high schools in the country included Wyoming High School at number 51. That ranking includes schools that have proven to them to be the most effective in preparing students for college, based on six components: graduation rate, college matriculation rate, the per-

centage of students who take AP and IB tests, average SAT/ACT scores, average AP/IB scores and how many AP courses are offered per student. “The students and staff of Wyoming High School are honored and humbled to be considered among the best in the nation,” Wyoming High School Principal Aaron Marshall said. “Our success occurs because of a combination of awesome students, an outstanding staff, a rigorous curriculum and strong parental support.”

Glendale tables decision on land request Residents concerned about donation of parcel to Sharonville

By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Glendale has tabled an ordinance that would donate land to Sharonville for a commercial development near Princeton High School, after residents raised concerns about the impact on the village’s residents and businesses. The village has been asked to give a parcel of land that would be turned into roadway for turn lanes into a planned commercial develoment at the corner of Sharon and Chester roads, just across the border in Sharonville. The property being considered for development is used as a parking lot for Princeton High School. Sharonville City Council passed in September 2011 an ordinance to allow the city to buy 5.8 acres at that corner from Princeton City Schools for that purpose. The ordinance authorized the city to turn over the property to the Sharonville Community Improvement Corporation, to negotiate a sale of the property to Hotel Development Services. The document states that the 5.8-acre property will be sold for $500,000 per acre. Though specifics about what would be built at the site have not been disclosed, Hotel Development Services is described in the ordinance as “a developer of

A few of those residents spoke during Glendale’s June 4 Village Council meeting, and afterwards the ordinance that had been scheduled for a second reading was tabled for further examination. “This will have an impact on the gateway to Glendale,” resi-

dent Beth Sullebarger said of the plan to widen the road to allow additional turn lanes into the commercial development. “It would change the character of our main entrance,” she said. Sullebarger referred to a traffic study conducted by Kleingers and Associates, questioning whether the turn lanes were necessary for Princeton’s new middle school and high school, which are being built nearby, or whether they are for the sole benefit of the commercial development. “The expansion doesn’t seem to be required for the school,” Sullebarger said. “It seems to be related to the commercial development.” Glendale Solicitor Don Lofty agreed. “If it’s for the school alone, turn lanes are not warranted,” Lofty said the Kleingers traffic report. “The school alone would not require the lanes.” Glendale resident Sarah Wiley also addressed the Glendale council. “This is bigger than the streets issue,” Wiley said. “It’s symbolic of Glendale’s willingness to open the door for development in the area. “I’m against any kind of commercial development. “I do not see the benefit for the village,” she said. “Others

Streets repairs to cost $431K Kenn, Cedarhill among target roads By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Springdale has selected a construction company for its annual street program. Adleta Inc. was chosen among three bids for the work that will focus on repairs in the Oxford Hills subdivision, on several streets including Kenn Road, Cedarhill Drive, Harcourt Drive and Yorkhaven Road. City Council voted unanimously June 6 to authorize a contract between Springdale and Adleta Inc. Among the repairs will be curb replacements, spot sidewalk repairs, improvements to handicap ramps and catch basin repairs. Sidewalks will be replaced and raised on State Route 4 between the public works drive and Colony Apartments. This repair is designed to eliminate water ponding on the sidewalk. Adleta was the lowest bidder, according to City Administrator Derrick Parham, at $431,566. The city’s 2012 budget had allowed $75,000 for the sidewalk repair, and $400,000 for the annual street program. For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/Springdale.

Princeton City Schools has named a new principal at Sharonville Elementary. Robert Dunn will replace Ed Theroux, who has served as principal at the school since 2008. Theroux will become director of students services beginning in August. Dunn will take over as Sharonville principal at that time.

He is a graduate of Dunn Reading High School, and earned his bachelor of science degree in education at Miami University, and master of education degree from the University of Cincinnati. “Robb Dunn is an exemplary educator who values children and the learning process,” Princeton Superintendent Gary Pack said. “He is supportive of teachers and staff, and works very hard to create a positive learning environment. “Princeton is fortunate to attract educational leaders like Mr. Dunn to our school district.”

Love vs. loyalty in D’Amato novel By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

A Glendale resident has explored his Sicilian ancestry to write a tale of loyalty, crime, love and vengeance. The idea came from a travel guide, and Joe D’Amato added some family history to weave a story that took four years to write. “Seeds of the Lemon Grove” is the story of a young man from Sicily, who begins to learn what it is to be Sicilian. D’Amato’s first novel is also a Mafia story, as the man searches for his heritage, and discovers the cost of vengeance. When main character Phillip LaChiana discovers that his father didn’t

die of natural causes, he vows vengeance on his dad’s killer. That brings him to the world of organized crime, and when he falls in love with a woman with close Mafia ties, he discovers that vengeance comes at the highest cost. D’Amato is working on a sequel as “Seeds of the Lemon Grove” hits bookstores. The novel is sold at Joseph Beth Booksellers and Barnes and Noble. It’s also available through Amazon.com. D’Amato will hold a book signing at Joseph Beth on June 20. For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/Glendale.

Sullebarger said she had obtained at least 150 signatures on a petition opposing the commercial development and would address Sharonville City Council during its June 12 meeting.

Jack worked at Blue Bird Bakery when it was Madison’s, helped his father frame houses and had a juvenile part with Jack Murray in the Glendale play, “The Rebels Are Coming.” His dad is Jack Cook Sr., Boy Scout leader of many years, who started the mulch sale. Jack loves getting into character and always wanted to be an actor. He was in “Macbeth," “South Pacific” and “My Fair Lady” at Princeton High School.

When he was 17, Jack was one of the first to demonstrate P&G’s Gillette Fusion before he even had facial hair. At age 18, his choices were either be a carpenter like his father, in a band or become an actor. Now he does all three. He went to New York

Police Week in Springdale duty over the past year. The bike tour began in Portsmouth, Va., May 10, and ended 300 miles later, May 12 at the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial. “He exemplifies the kind of young people that are coming up here,” Mathis said of officers who are new to the police force. “Two weeks ago, while on patrol, he responded quickly to a medical emergency,” Mathis said. “He got there quickly and found a person in cardiac arrest.” Lyons performed CPR until emergency medical workers arrived and resuscitated him, the police chief said. “We have a resident with us today because of the actions of Officer Lyons,” Mathis said. “It’s not always about arresting bad guys. “It’s about serving the community.”

Students ‘run’ Sharonville By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

SHARONVILLE — Members of Princeton High School’s student government class took the dais in a mock session of a city council meeting, discussing issues that affect residents of Sharonville. City council members paired with students during the annual Student Government Day, organized by Councilwoman Vicki Hoppe, in which high school students who live in Sharonville are invited to participate. Serving on Student City Council were: » Lauren Asbrock, a senior at Mount Notre Dame; » Aaron Gilkey, a junior at Princeton High School; » Ashley Reinert, a sophomore at Mount Notre

dame; » Skyler Wilson, a sophomore at Princeton High School; and » Zach Bays, a senior at Princeton High School. Andrew Cousineau, a junior at St. Xavier, took the mayor’s seat, and Mark Mendoza, a sophomore at Princeton High School, served as president of council in the session that preceded Council’s April 24 meeting. Among several ordinances discussed and voted on during the meeting was a proposal to create bike/hike paths in the city. “If we build a bike path, more people would have access to businesses and shops,” Bays said, “and that would bring the city more revenue.” Reinert questioned the cost to the city. “How would we get the

TOLL FREE

money to pay for these, and what would it cost?” she said. The mayor offered information not included in the ordinance, and council amended the ordinance to include the cost of $2.5 million. “I am not in support of this ordinance,” Cousineau said. “It’s too much money.” Gilkey also opposed the ordinance. “It will cost too much money to construct the pathways because they’re particularly long roads,” he said. Bays pointed out the the revenue resulting from the increase in consumer visits would offset that cost. Wilson weighed the pros and cons. “I’m on the fence,” she said of the location of the paths. “Would it be an ex-

tension of the road, or in the yards of homeowners.” Council President Mendoza clarified that the path would be constructed in a right of way that was already owned by the city. After the discussion and amendment to include cost of the pathway, student councilmembers passed the ordinance with a 3-2 vote. Students summarized the hands-on session. “I learned that they all have to work together and help make the city a better place,” Reinert said. “A lot of planning and thought goes into making ordinances,” Gilkey said. “And I learned that the city of Sharonville is very organized.” For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/Sharonville.

Reading Chamber, MND partner for logo The Reading Chamber of Commerce has a new logo that captures the mission of the organization which is to providing Reading businesses opportunities to grow and prosper and remain a vibrant and competitive force in today’s marketplace. Although the Reading Chamber of Commerce has been in existence for more than 30 years, the organization has never had a logo to reflect the purpose and goals of the organization. To help bolster the public image of Reading businesses, Chamber trustees sponsored a logo contest with seven students from two local high schools. Representing Reading High School was Kelly Glore. Participants from Mount Notre Dame High School included Jennifer Jarvis, Lexie Groh, Caitlin Dunkley, Emily Hunt, Zai Johns and Maddie Wilberding. Art teachers from both schools, Karen Myer from Reading High School and Shelly Brauer from Mount Notre Dame, worked closely with the students to help them develop their logos. Reading Chamber of Commerce

Trustee Chris Berger developed the contest guidelines and coordinated the competition. Berger also recruited Kristine Hess, a Reading resident and designer with IntrinZic, a local marketing and branding firm, to collaborate with the Chamber as an expert in logo design. Students presented their design concepts to Chamber Trustees April 19, explaining the inspiration behind their designs and the meaning of specific elements in their logo artwork. Trustee member Chris Berger noted, “During the individual presentations, these young women exhibited an incredible amount of creativity, professionalism and passion. It was very difficult to select a single winning design”. The winning design was developed by Mount Notre Dame junior Jennifer Jarvis, a Loveland resident, whose clean geometric design featured a roadway (representing Reading Road/US 42) connecting to alternating businesses and houses. According to Jarvis, her design was inspired by Reading’s

strategic location on US 42 and the strong link between Reading’s business and residential sectors. Mayor Bo Bemmes, who participated in the logo contest, said, “It is impressive how well the students captured all the assets that make the City of Reading a good choice for both businesses and residents.” Jarvis will receive a $200 gift certificate and a framed print of her logo. The remaining participants will be presented with gift certificates from local Reading businesses. The new logo will be incorporated into Chamber literature, letter head, promotional programs and all communication between the Chamber and the public. According to Bemmes, “The successful marketing of individual businesses is tied to the successful marketing of the city of Reading and this new logo will provide a compelling brand that communicates to the outside world what makes the city of Reading unique and different from other business locations.”

Seniors lead UA food drive

Ursuline Academy’s annual Spirit Week was held April 23 thru April 27, and was filled with numerous events focused on serving those in need. On April 25, the largest Spirit Week effort –the canned food drive – yielded a school total of 15,021 pounds of food and $1,211 collected. This culminated weeks of competition between the classes to see who could collect the most canned food and money, which was donated to Mercy Home Food Pantry in Walnut Hills, Mason Food Pantry, St. Vincent de Paul and Hope Emergency in Brown County. The seniors collected the most canned goods and the freshmen raised the most money. “Ursuline students are notorious for bringing in thousands of pounds of food every year…we run out of places to put it,” said art teacher and Spirit Week moderator Jeanine Boutiere. In addition to many fun activities all week, the students’ other charitable efforts included cashing in pop tabs they collected all year and giving the proceeds to Ronald McDonald House and a Penny Race and “Spirit Walk” which both benefit a scholarship fund for future students to attend Ursuline. “Spirit Week is an opportunity for our students to join together and show their pride for Ursuline. It’s also a time for our school to put into action our Catholic faith; a time to reach out to the community, and share some of our special brand of Ursuline spirit to enliven and enrich those around us,” Boutiere said.

A meal fit for a scientist St. Gabriel Consolidated School’s second annual Primary Science Night proved to be a great attraction as 101 families and more than 300 parents, grandparents and students took the opportunity to attend an evening filled with science activities related to food. Visitors had the opportunity to participate in the experiments which were held in seven different stations under the watchful eyes of staff and led by seventh- and eighth-grade students. The evening menu included a potpourri of breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and

beverage choices. Breakfast choices included floating eggs, color changing milk or magnetic cereal and static (Rice Krispies). Straw potatoes and fizzy water were our lunch choice and dinner was dancing spaghetti and static seasonings. Dessert included marshmallow towers and popping corn and beverage choices were dense drinks and invisible ink along with tricky lemons and rotting Eeggs. Families who chose at least three menu items were asked to visit the check out room where they received after dinner

mints and a doggy bag to take home. Watching the faces of children, especially, who observed the extraction of iron from breakfast cereal, as an example, was rewarding. While they couldn’t eat any of the experiments ... except the popcorn ... visitors received a great visual sense of all of the experiments and a better understanding of many of the elements which goes into the processing of foods which we eat every day. The night could be summed up as “One Helping of Family Time, a Scoop of Science, and a Heap of Fun.”

Josh Harrison was back playing baseball in Cincinnati. After starring at Princeton High School and the University of Cincinnati, Harrison returned to the Queen City as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates June 5-7. Harrison, in his second big-league season, is a utility infielder for the Pirates who made the squad coming out of spring training. In 2011, he played 65 games and hit .272 after being called up last May. Big-league dream: Harrison said he always envisoned of playing Major League Baseball and never lost sight of making that dream a reality. “It was a dream of mine ever since I started playing,” Harrison said. “I always envisioned it, and when it came true, I was excited, but at the same time, I wasn’t too caught off guard because it’s what I wanted my whole life.” Homecoming: More than 300 of Harrison’s friends and family attended Great American Ball Park to see his hometown debut. “It’s nice playing at home. I get to play in front of a lot of people I grew up playing with. It’s just good to be home seeing all of

those people,” Harrison said. Draft daze: With Major League Baseball recently conducting its first-year player draft, Harrison, who was an eight-round pick of the Chicago Cubs in 2008 recalled living through draft day. “It was hectic…there were lots of calls, with people asking, ‘have you gone yet?’” Harrison said. “Everyone was calling, trying to check on me..” After a while, the former Bearcat figured it’d be best to lose his phone for a while. “I didn’t even have my phone. I just left it upstairs. My mom was getting all the calls,” he said. Hitting the road: Unlike basketball and football, where draftees almost immediately join their teams, Harrison endured late nights and long bus rides that almost every player encounters in the minors. His first stop was in Idaho, where he hit .351 for the Low Class A Boise Hawks. Harrison spent parts of four seasons in the minors, which made it that much more gratifying when he was promoted to the majors. “A lot of people don’t understand it, and it’s something that’s rewarding to have your hard work pay off,” he said.

What’s the best choice for America? The budget, created by U.S. House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R) of Wisconsin, has been endorsed by the Republican Party. Mitt Romney has embrassed the Ryan plan, calling it “marvelous.” The Ryan Romney budget is now the Republican 2012 election platform and economic program. It’s on the table. The Ryan Romney Republican plan would change the role of government in our society. The plan withdraws the government from assisting those with low incomes and those facing difficult times. The plan is an effort to renegotiate the entire social and economic edifice of America. The Ryan Romney Republican plan is terrible for everyone except the very wealthy, corporations and the Depart-

ment of Defense. What’s in the Ryan Romney Republican plan? » Medicare is cut by $205 billion. The plan offers subsidies (“premium support”) for seniors to buy their own private health insurance. » Slashes 700 billion from Medicaid (cuts $1.7 trillion over the next decade) and reduces the program by 75 peccent by 2050. » 17 million people would lose Medicare and CHIP coverage provided by the Affordable Care Act. » Pell grants are reduced by more than $1000. for nearly 10 million students. » Cuts education funding for individuals with disabilities. » Kicks 60,000 low-income children out of Head Start (200,000 out each year over the next decade).

Foster parenting a true love story My foster care story is a love story. But it’s not the kind of love story you expect. It begins with my divorce. In spite of my three beautiful children, I was feeling sorry for myself and began searching for something more. The answer to my prayers found me. A teenage girl from my neighborhood came to me for advice. Weeks later, she approached me, and told me I was very helpful to her. She said, “Miss Maria, you should become a foster mother.” The young lady went on to confess that she herself was a foster child. “What?” I said. “You can’t be; you don’t look like a foster child!” She responded, “That’s because I have a good foster mother.” My young neighbor refused to give up on me. She referred me to her foster mother, who in turn, told me about Lighthouse Youth Services. The staff at Lighthouse is amazing! They are genuinely friendly, take time to get to know you, welcome you with open arms, and value each and every person involved with foster care. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. They taught and prepared me for what I may face as a foster parent, and are still there to support me every

step of the way. I have been a foster parent for six years now. I have had 11 foster chilMaria Bonds dren in those COMMUNITY PRESS years. Some GUEST COLUMNIST more challenging than others, some staying longer than others, but, no matter what, each of them experienced love. It is sad to think that not every child out there gets a hug before crawling into bed. I wish everyone had the opportunity to see the transformation of a child, with just a little compassion, patience and love. I have seen children completely changed in a matter of days. All they needed was for someone to teach them what love is. It is then that they learn to love themselves. And it really does work, if you take the time. Love changes people for the better, and I see it in my home every time a kid comes in. And the best part is, Lighthouse foster care makes it possible. After all, the heart of Lighthouse is love. Maria Bonds is a Lighthouse foster parent. She lives in Finneytown.

» 2 million women, infants, and children would be cut from WIC programs that give them access to healthy food. » Tax rates Richard are set at 10% Schwab COMMUNITY PRESS and 25%. As a result, those GUEST COLUMNIST making less than $100,000. pay a higher effective tax rate; those making a million receive a $150,000. tax cut. » Federal work force cut 10 percent and a pay freeze through 2015. » Debilitating cuts for law enforcement, border patrol, scientific and medical research, food safety, environmental protection, federal highways, national parks, weather monitor-

ing, education and the FAA. » The Congressional Budget Office concluded the plan doesn’t balance the federal budget. The Ryan Romney Republican plan has been denounced and described as “Social Darwinism.” The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has decried the plan. In a letter to Ryan, they said don’t slash the safety net, particularly if you’re doing so to finance tax cuts for the wealthy. “We urge you to draw a circle of protection around resources that serve those in greatest need ... even though they do not have powerful advocates or great influence.” Ryan has charged that aid programs encourage people to sponge off the government. “We don’t want to turn the safety net into a hammock that lulls people

into complacency and dependence.” Here’s your choice America: Guaranteed health care benefits for seniors, or tax breaks for the wealthy? Food for poor children, or no taxes on offshore multinational corporate profits? Increases in defense spending, or health care for 48 million Americans? We have a pretty good idea of what President Obama has in mind. Now it’s crystal clear what the other side is up to. This is why our votes Nov. 6 matter so much. Richard O.

CH@TROOM June 6 question Should the Ohio General Assembly consider a ban on the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks in an effort to combat obesity? Why or why not?

“As soon as they ban ‘Housewives of Orange County,’ ‘Jersey Shore,’ half of the items sold at Kroger, girls' shorts that say 'Dancer' on the butt, saying 'should have went' instead of 'should have gone,’ Panera Bread, Big Apple Bagels, anything at Starbucks ... I could continue but I do have a life. Government will let you kill your unborn baby, but you can't have a Big Gulp? Oh, the insanity.” L.A.D.B. “This kind of thing (being considered already in New York) is government interference in the private sector in a frightening way that is almost impossible to believe. People, we all have free will, and we can do whatever we want as long as our actions don't violate the rights of others. “If I want to be fat, that's my business. If I want to work out regularly, that's my business, too. Government, stay OUT of our personal liberty!” Bill B. “What a ridiculous idea! You can't legislate away all risk in life, and you can't, or shouldn't, protect every citizen from making their own poor choices. “Mayor Bloomberg in New York has gone way over the line on this one and where he goes no one should follow!” R.W.J.

NEXT QUESTION How should the United States respond to the atrocities in Syria? Every week Tri-County Press asks readers a question they can reply to via email. Send your answers to tricountypress@community press.com with Chatroom in the subject line.

“If such a rediculous law is passes, I will personally serve the 26 oz. size and wait for them to arrest me. I'll make headlines!” J.K. “How many of our forefathers came to America to escape oppressive governments? Can you believe that it is our own government that seeks to force us to buy just a certain size and type of drink? Next thing you know it will outlaw placing sugar on the tables for coffee or tea because we are too stupid to know how to use it! “Well we're not too stupid to remember the arrogant jerks come election time. What next, no free refills? Seriously, even if it is the job of government to combat obesity, its track record for fighting drug and alcohol abuse prove it incapable of succeeding in any war to control human behavior.” R.V. “The ban in New York City is the new low for political stupidity. No real control over firearms but they want to control soft drinks. I thought buying water was stupid ! This is more than stupid. J.S.D.

“No! Less government, we do not need a police state!!!!” K.S. “They should ban sugary drinks right after they ban jumbo fries, unprotected sex, malt liquor, body odor, smoking, flatulence, cursing, driving while texting, eating red meat every day and dirty cars. “People already have the right to do all sorts of things that are offensive to others or bad for them. The government needs to get out of our lives and do things that they do best, like enforce the speed laws, educate children, run the courts, provide road maintenance, etc. “Living in a free country means we have the right to do things that are bad for us.” F.S.D. “Even though this kind of legislation seems to be the trend these days as we move toward empowering the government to protect us from ourselves, no. People need to take responsibility for their actions and have the freedom to fail if they choose. “The question is whether other people should be forced to pay for the results of these gluttons' unhealthy food choices through government-provided health care or private health insurance.” P.C. “No! One soda jerk nanny is enough.” J.G.

Rapid warmth could bring smog earlier this year Remember the haze that can linger over our city during the summer months? Well, guess what… it’s back! Smog, that is. Hot, muggy weather has rapidly approached the Tristate and smog has come with it. The month of May typically starts the smog season and so far the area has seen temperatures rise into the upper 80s and 90s. What could this mean for the rest of the summer? Smog is an air pollutant containing gases and other reactive chemicals that forms when sunlight “bakes” them. Smog is an irritating mixture of pollution

that can make breathing difficult, especially for children, the elderly and people with respiratory problems. Smog consists of two different types of pollution, that both reside in Tristate area: ground level ozone and particulate matter (PM2.5). Ground level ozone is more prevalent because it is caused by vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, gasoline vapors and chemical solvents. PM2.5 does not need sunlight to create it. It appears as dust, ash or soot or in liquid form like fog. Some sources that create

Ribs a good dish for Father’s Day

Grilled baby back ribs

Brine for up to 4 pounds of ribs: This is optional, but I hope you take the time to do it, since brining is a way of increasing the moisture holding capacity of meat, resulting in a moister product when it’s cooked. 1 cup Kosher salt 1/2 cup sugar 1 gallon cold water

Dissolve salt and sugar in water. Brine 4 hours, remove from brine, pat dry and proceed with rub. Rita’s rub:

Sprinkle ribs with rub up to a day head. Leftover rub can be stored in the frig.

Mix together: 6 tablespoons garlic powder 3 tablespoons chili powder 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cumin 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper 2 teaspoons Spanish hot or sweet smoked paprika or regular hot or sweet paprika 2 teaspoons allspice

Ribs: 4 pounds meaty baby back pork ribs, cut into portions To season ribs: Sprinkle rub on both sides. Put on baking sheet and cover with foil. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to l day. To grill ribs: Grill ribs over medium heat until tender and cooked, turning occasionally, about 25-35 minutes. Then baste with sauce. Brush each side generously. Continue grilling until sauce forms a sticky coating, about 3 minutes per side, brushing more sauce on as needed. Serve, passing more barbeque sauce alongside. My hot and smoky barbecue sauce After cooking, adjust seasonings, adding more vinegar, etc. if you like. I

Medicare event at Senior Center The Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP), the state’s official source for free and unbiased Medicare information and counseling, will hold a “Welcome to Medicare” event in Hamilton County at Sycamore Senior Center at 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 13, to help new and soon-to-be beneficiaries understand the basics of Medicare. The facility is at 4455 Carver Woods Drive. “Our staff is visiting every region of the state to personally help Ohioans new to Medicare understand how their new health insurance will work,” Taylor said of OSHIIP, a program of the Ohio Department of Insurance. “Transitioning into Medicare can sometimes be a complicated change and we want to help put Ohioans at ease by addressing any questions or concerns they may

have.” OSHIIP is conducting Welcome to Medicare events in 15 counties from April 11 to July 25. At the Welcome to Medicare event, people can also learn the benefits Medicare provides and important deadlines they have to meet. Information will also be shared about Medicare Advantage plans, prescription drug coverage and supplemental health insurance coverage. There will also be information about financial assistance programs which help pay for Medicare’s Part B premium ($99.90 per month in 2012) and out-ofpocket expenses associated with prescription drug costs. For more information about this event and Medicare, call OSHIIP at 1-800686-1578, or visit www.insurance.ohio.gov.

Re-seasoning cast iron cookware

Several of you have asked about this. And if you are ever lucky enough to come across an old American made cast iron pan, like Lodge or Griswold, don’t hesitate to buy it. In my opinion, these

gems are still the best as far as quality of iron and workmanship. Log onto my YouTube channel (Abouteating.com) to see my video on seasoning iron skillets. Here’s the most current information. This is what Lodge cookware recommends, and they are an American company manufacturing American cast iron. Lodge’s recommendations are only slightly different than my video, which was made a few years ago. Wash cookware with hot, soapy water and a

stiff brush. (Lodge says it’s OK to use soap this time because you are preparing to re-season the cookware). Rinse and dry completely. Apply a thin, even coating of melted solid vegetable shortening (or cooking oil of your choice) to the cookware (inside and out). Place aluminum foil on the bottom rack of the oven to catch any dripping. Set oven temperature to 350400 degrees. Place cookware upside down on the top rack of oven. Bake for at least one hour. After the hour, turn oven off and let cookware cool in oven. Store uncovered, in a dry place when cooled. Tip: I do use a bit of soap to wash my cast iron pans regularly, though the debate rages on about using soap at all. After the pan is completely dry, I’ll heat it 1 minute on the stove to open up the pores, then I’ll wipe a little oil all over the inside. As it cools, the pores close, keeping the pan seasoned.

Former Ranger to speak at Chamber business lunch

The Sharonville Chamber of Commerce's June Business Connection Lunch will be 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Thursday, June 21, with Major Marc Messerschmitt, former U.S. Army Ranger, as featured speaker. The event, at the Sharonville Convention Center, is sponsored by Industrial Sorting Service. “The years of preparation in the various areas of the military as well as my years in Afghanistan helped prepare me for today’s business world,” Messerschmitt said. “At the end of the day, the same core values that make you successful in military service will make you successful in the business world. I look forward to sharing those with everyone.” Messerschmitt has appeared on FoxNews, CNN, ESPN and the Military Channel. He is the recipient of the Legion Of Merit Award, two Bronze Stars, Purple Heart, three Meritorious Service Medals, the Joint Service Com-

dent, Sharonville Chamber of Commerce. “Thus the Sharonville Chamber likes to honor all current and previous military personnel from all the services for their dedication. Fortunately this year, we are lucky enough to have one of the first U.S. Rangers to parachute into Afghanistan right after President Bush declared war on Afghanistan make a special presentation for us. In talking with him and learning the many physical and mental hardships he endured during his service to our country, he shared the parallels between the service and today’s business world. We welcome all veterans and nonveterans to this special event.” Cost is $25 for members and non-members, and $20 for all military personnel, active or retired.

The 2011 St. Vincent de Paul Reds Food Drive collected more than 6,000 pounds of food, which fed 2,100 people in our community for one day. “We’ve seen a record number of people at our food pantries,” said Liz Carter, executive director of St. Vincent de Paul. “Many families are still struggling in the face of a

challenging economy. They make many sacrifices, but food is vital. It is one sacrifice they simply can’t make. With the support of the community, we can continue to feed our neighbors in need.” In 2011, St. Vincent de Paul provided more than 70,000 people with groceries, enough people to fill Great American Ballpark more than one and a half times. About half of the people fed were children. “The Cincinnati Reds are committed to alleviating hunger in our community,” said Lorrie Platt, Cin-

JCC hosts Summer Cinema Series

RELIGION Ascension Lutheran Church Sunday worship services are at 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. with programs for all ages at 9:45 a.m. The church is at 7333 Pfeiffer Road, Montgomery; 7933288,www.ascensionlutheranchurch.com.

Based on feedback from the winter Jewish & Israeli Film Festival, the Mayerson JCC will offer more award-winning films and more comfortable seating at a great price at the JCC Summer Cinema Series, June 26-28. At 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 26, see “Melting Away” (Namess Ba'geshem), a 2012 Jewish & Israeli Film Festival Audience Favorite, and the first feature film in the history of Israeli cinema that deals with the topic of parents and their relationships with their transgendered children. This drama is an emotional tale that touches on real issues of sexuality and how everyday people handle themselves when forced to deal with life and death and what is left in the wake. On Wednesday, June 27, at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., enjoy the comedy, “Arab Labor” (Avoda Avarit). Meet the Palestinian Seinfield, Amjad, a hapless but goodhearted journalist, who darts in and out of hilarious and poignant confrontations with his sassy wife, their smart-as-a-whip daughter, his overbearing parents and his hound-dog younger friend. He neurotically tries to conform to expectations in both Jewish and Arab worlds, and generally bungles it. Ending the Summer Cinema Series, “This is Sodom” (Zohi Sdom), shows on Thursday, June 28, at 7 p.m. The biggest box office comedy hit in Israel in 25 years, “This is Sodom” is a raucous and bawdy biblical comedy in the best tradition of Monty Python and Mel Brooks. As God’s wrath draws closer, Abraham, Lot, the Sodomites and their rulers, and even the avenging angels, are seduced by the decadent delights of the most famous Sin City in history. General admission is $8 per film for J members and $10 per film for the public. Purchase tickets early to reserve your seat, either online at JointheJ.org/filmfestival, or contact Cultural Arts Manager Courtney Cummings at 761-7500.

Dave & Buster’s sports new look The Dave & Buster’s location in Springdale is undergoing an extensive brand refresh to debut to the public June 15. The refresh includes huge TV screens, a new sporty ambiance, updated décor in the restaurant, new drinks and menu items and 10 new games. This is the second Dave & Buster’s location to undergo this drastic makeover. “Our goal is to be the ultimate destination for fun by pairing a comfortable atmosphere for sports viewing with fantastic new menu items, signature cocktails, and of course 10 new must-play games,” said Jennifer Lasiter, Dave & Buster’s national marketing manager. “That’s why we’ve reinvented our Springdale location into an up-

Former Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy will be making an appearance in Blue Ash at the Blue Ash Northeast Democratic Club annual pcnic, Tuesday, June 19. The event starts at 6:30 p.m., and will take place at the Blue Ash Park, 4433 Cooper Road, in the Blue Ash Shelter. “Former Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy will be educating us on the Freedom to Marry Ohio ballot referendum. We are honored to have her as our special guest speaker,” said Julie Brook, president of BANDC. Kilroy grew up in Eu-

scale sports bar atmosphere that Cincinnati can call its go-to gameday headquarters.” Changes to the Springdale location include: New sports décor and huge TV screens will enhance the sports-viewing experience, including: » Completely new redesigned front entrance lobby; » Repurposed billiards area to house the ultimate sports viewing experience; » New projector TVs, 65-inch plasma TVs and 80-inch LCDs; » Larger than life wall graphics of Cincinnati’s favorite teams and players; » Chic new restaurant décor with private booths; » Updated gamebar in the Midway with new look and more plasma TVs.

New facility will be located on Hebrew Union College campus When the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati brought Pam Barbash to the current Jewish Family Service Food Pantry, she saw that the steep stairs and modest space would limit how well members of our community in need could be helped. Soon afterward, she and her husband, Bernie, decided to commit to the largest gift of their lives to help transform the JFS Food Pantry into a pioneering new facility – the Barbash Family Vital Support Center – to be located on the Cincinnati campus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. The Barbashes’ gift, which will exceed $1 million, propelled forward an unprecedented collaborative investment that will include the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati, private donors and The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati. Funded by this partnership, the Barbash Center will be the first project to go live under the sponsorship of Cincinnati 2020, the community-wide collaboration to make Cincinnati a model community and a Jewish destination.

22, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday, June 23, and 2 p.m. Sunday, June 24. Tickets may be purchased at ticketing@cincinnatiarts .org. Local non-professionals appearing in “Cinderella” are: Stephanie and Stephen Curtis.

“Pam openly shared with me that she grew up knowing how it feels not to have enough,” said Jewish Federation Development Director Danielle Minson. “So when she saw how the current site of the Food Pantry limited its reach, it was only natural for them to invest in our community’s efforts to help those with the least.” The 2008 Community Study – which surveyed about100,000 individuals in the greater Cincinnati area to capture the characteristics of the local Jewish community and provide insight into its needs, attitudes and behaviors – found that 1,100 Jewish households (9 percent) fall below 200 percent of Federal poverty guidelines (i.e., $27,000 for a two-person household). “Until now, we have only been able to help a small percent of our poorest community members,” said Beth Schwartz, executive director of Jewish Family Service. “The new Barbash Family Vital Support Center will change everything.

campus will enable us to more than double our current number of clients served by 2020. And we will be able to provide them with more comprehensive services, including addressing the long-term challenges created by poverty and mental illness. Being at HUC and having their rabbinic students provide pastoral services will truly make this Center unique.” Of the $2.1 million total private donations required to open the Barbash Center by early 2013, $800,000 must still be raised. To meet this goal, the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati will partner with JFS to launch a sustainability campaign, co-chaired by Pam Barbash, Bret Caller and Beth Guttman. Jewish Federation Past President Bret Caller explained, “This is what Cincinnati 2020 is all about – bringing together people and organizations in order to achieve community priorities that no one organization could achieve by itself.” The transformative investment by The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati, which will total $3.2 million over a 10-year period, will be used for initial expenses of developing the Barbash Center and the increased costs of the expanded services. However, the bulk of the Center’s ongoing operating budget will continue to rely on donations given through both the Jewish

Federation of Cincinnati’s Community Campaign and Jewish Family Service’s Friends Campaign. “Jewish values teach us that the measure of a community is how it treats the most vulnerable,” said Dr. Jonathan Cohen, dean of HUC-JIR’s Cincinnati campus. “Not only will the Barbash Family Vital Support Center provide rabbinical counseling, but it will also be a place where parents can bring their children to volunteer out of a spirit of tikkun olam [repairing the world].” “We are proud to be one of very few communities where private donors, the local federation and foundation, the lead social service agency and an international Jewish seminary can work seamlessly to significantly enhance our ability to help those most in need,” said Michael R. Oestreicher, president of The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati. Jewish Family Service of Cincinnati strengthens lives and our community by providing professional social services to families and individuals in times of need.

Community AHEAD provides health data With the click of a computer mouse button, anyone can access a wealth of data covering health conditions in Hamilton County. Called Community AHEAD, an acronym for Access to Hamilton County Epidemiology and Assessment Data, this powerful, user-friendly database provides an up close and personal look at health conditions affecting the entire county. The AHEAD tool also allows users to zoom in on a specific area within the county and look at health issues affecting individual neighborhoods. “Information is power,” Hamilton County Health Commissioner Tim Ingram said. “By putting this information directly into the hands of community leaders and the general public, we’re working to develop a good, basic understand-

Keith Rucker runs a free football camp each summer as part of the Reach For the Sky Foundation. PROVIDED

Camp teaches football, life skills By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Princeton coaches partnered with former Bengal Keith Rucker to provide a summer camp that Rucker hopes will teach more than sports. Reach For the Sky Foundation sponsored the free camp, which was May 26-27 at Viking Stadium. Rucker established the foundation in 2004. “The reason I started it was because I know a lot of the inner city kids were

missing out on going to other camps because they couldn’t afford it.” The youngest of eight children, raised by a single parent on the south side of Chicago, Rucker could relate to those kids. “We don’t turn anybody away, so it doesn’t matter what your socio-economic status is,” Rucker said. “We teach them the basic fundamentals of football,” he said, “and we use the game of football to teach life skills. “For example, adversity.

When you’re competing for a position, it’s like applying for a job as you get older.” Rucker and his staff help the day campers learn how to persevere. “It has intangibles that kids are missing,” he said. “I didn’t have that when I was growing up.” More information about the foundation, can be found at www.reach4thesky.org.

demiological surveillance throughout the county, so understanding the data and how it affects individual communities can lead to positive change.” Community leadership and the public can learn how to operate the AHEAD tool through an instructional video available at www.hamiltoncountyhealth.org. The instructional video and the AHEAD program are available from the homepage. For more information on accessing, operating or understanding any of the data available, call Ted Folger at 513-9467873. Hamilton County Public Health works to assure the 460,000 citizens living outside the cities of Cincinnati, Norwood, Sharonville and Springdale are safe from disease, injury and contamination.

ing of the health issues that we in public health deal with every day. Understanding health conditions will ultimately lead to prevention and better health practices countywide.” Categories covered within the AHEAD database are maternal and infant health, communicable disease, mortality and injury. “These categories allow the public to understand the impact of specific diseases and injuries and recognize trends in their communities.” said Ted Folger, Hamilton County Public Health director of epidemiology and assessment. “Because information is power, it’s important to understand how to operate the AHEAD tool and how to best understand the information it provides. It’s basically the same data we use in conducting epi-
