Rounding out Glendale Square

By Kelly McBride

kmcbride@communitypress.com

Glendale’s Village Square will undergo a makeover designed for pedestrian flair and savvy in the heart of the community. The $750,000 project, which incorporates an OKI traffic enhancement grant, will take just $156,000 from the village coffers, said Walter Cordes, village administrator. The project will replace and expand sidewalks, add crosswalks and include enhancements such as trees and furniture to encourage visitors to linger and enjoy food and drink from vendors in the square. It’s been a year in the works, but when work starts at the end of July, plans call for completion by the end of October. The added benefit to retailers, Cordes said, is that the work will be done incrementally, with pavement being torn up in small patches. That way, businesses won’t be inconvenienced and streets won’t be closed. “This will make it more attractive and inviting,” Cordes said of the renovated square. Business owners said they are looking forward to the renovations, and appreciate that the work will be done with minimal disruption. “This will give nice continuity from one side to the other,” Bluebird Bakery and Cafe owner Jenny Dennis said of crosswalks that will make it easier for visitors to walk

well. “It’s important to have a viable commercial base to bring business,” he said, “But we will also preserve the unique heritage here.” Steve Dinnerstein, who owns Piazza Discepoli Wine Merchants and the newly opened Piccolo wine bar, said the European set-

ting will invite visitors to sit outside and relax in the square. “We needed a permanent place for outdoor seating,” he said. “It will add a whole new dimension to the village and create an ambiance that’s European. “Our fervent hope,” Dinnerstein said, “is that it will become a communal meeting spot.”

Princeton athletic director presents mentoring game plan By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Princeton’s athletic director took a shot at several goals in a presentation to the board of education, outlining areas of concentration as well as the means to achieve those objectives. Athletic Director Scott Warman, assisted by high school Principal William Sprinkles, focused on its student-athlete mentoring program, expansion of the Lil’ Vikes program and improvement of community outreach. “We want to make sure that if a team is having a rough year, we want to share what we are communicating with coaches,” Sprinkles said of planned reports to the board. “They can be hot topics and they are sensitive,” he said, “but they are very important.” “We want to improve communication,” Warman said. “We want to keep everybody up to date.” A student at Cincinnati Country Day

addressed the board, asking it to approve his Eagle Scout project. Douglas Tallmadge will clean up the site around the Robert E. Lucas Intermediate School for his project. The work will include clearing brush from the trails, picnic areas and the learning circle. Board members said they appreciated the 14-year-old’s efforts to clean up the area, overgrown with weeds. Tallmadge said he’d use volunteers and donated materials to complete the project by the fall. The board approved the district’s contract with Cole and Russel Architects for design services on Princeton’s new middle school and high school. Board members also approved an agreement with Turner Construction Co. for construction management services for the project. Among other action, the board agreed to hold the 2010-2011 prom at Elements Confer-

Mayor Doyle Webster, right, and Pat Stern of the Intercommunity Cable Regulatory Commission, center congratulate Julie Matheny of the Springdale Chamber of Commerce, for winning the Blue Chip Award. Matheny is Webster’s daughter. Springdale Great. Okum wrote the letter after a recent news report on unpaid fines and interest owed to the state by candidates and political committees. Among them was the Committee to Keep Springdale Great, which was cited as owing $45,000.

The committee had been formed in 2004 for a ballot initiative, and was dissolved shortly after the election. In his letter, Okum said the mistake was a bookkeeping error that arose when two canceled checks were not been stapled to the report. “I was never properly notified of the situation as the committee was no longer a functional entity,” Okum wrote. “That is, I was simply unaware that these fines were being levied on a daily basis.” “I resolved the issue as soon as I became aware of it,” he said of the submission of the missing canceled checks. “At no time did the commission or the Board of Elections ever allege any accounting irregularities in the campaign finance report,” he wrote. “No litigation was ever filed. The sole issue was an alleged clerical error.”

Kimberly Hauser presents the Wyoming Youth Services Bureau annual report to City Council.

New and evolving programs have been added to the list of offerings by Wyoming Youth Services Bureau as it continues to work to meet the needs of students and their families. In its annual report to Wyoming City Council, executive director Kimberly Hauser described how the bureau, which offers counseling and crisis intervention, has also adapted to the changing needs of the community. Programs such as Make It Happen and Generations Together give kids the opportunity to reach out to others. Make it Happen is a middle school service club, and Generations Together pairs teens with elderly residents. Parent education is offered, “to support parents to help them to raise healthy children,” Hauser said, “and to let them realize they’re not alone.” The common sense program is a six-week offering that addresses parent concerns. Another program addresses life choices for teens. “This helps them function independently in the community,” Hauser said. The after-school program, which is offered to middle school students, attracted 49 students who were mentored by 43 high school students. “It’s an opportunity to build social skills and interact with others,” she said of the environment that encourages kids to work on school assignments as well during the afternoon. “It helps their grades and self-esteem,” Hauser said. “We respond to change, to reflect community need,” she said of the free programs and other offerings that served 108 participants in 2009. Also during the July meeting, City Manager Bob Harrison presented the second quarter financial report. Among the highlights were: • Real estate tax revenue of $1.57 million through June, “which is right on target,” Harrison said. • Income tax receipts of $1.9 million, “which is lower than expected,” he said. • Inheritance tax receipts of $165,000, “about $35,000 more than anticipated.” • Actual interest revenue of $8,868 was “down fairly substantially,” Harrison said. • Total expenditures of $3.5 million in the first six months of the year. “Public safety is the largest part of that,” Harrison said. More information and details on the report can be requested at the Municipal Building, 800 Oak Ave.

Sharonville entices businesses to stay in city By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Sharonville City Council has approved incentives to two businesses to stay in the city. General Mills and Devicor Medical Products Inc., were offered economic development incentives in exchange for promises from the companies. The city offered a job creation incentive, said Tammy Riddle, Sharonville’s economic development specialist. Based on the number of jobs each company creates and the revenue from those jobs, the city will provide a percentage of income tax reimbursement from those new employees back to the company. Under the ordinance passed unanimously by council, General Mills will: • create at least 19 fulltime jobs within three years

and generate about $1 million of new payroll, bringing an average salary of $53,000 for each new worker; • maintain an existing earnings tax level of about $11.8 million within the city; • maintain a total payroll of about $12.8 million within the city after the job creation term is completed, for the remainder of the project; • commit to stay in Sharonville for the project’s five years, plus three additional years; • conduct a fixed-asset investment of $45 million to retrofit the building interior and to rebrand the workspace. The second company, Devicor Medical Products Inc. of Scarsdale, NY, also was offered economic development incentives. The ordinance, passed unanimously, stated: • Devicor will locate

within the city limits for at least seven years; • the company will generate at least $12.7 million of payroll by the end of 2013; • devicor won’t have a real estate property tax abatement. Council also set a public hearing on whether to designate properties on the Northern Lights corridor of Chester Road as a community entertainment district. The topic will be discussed during a public hearing Aug. 10. The city’s building and planning department has recommended the designation and planning commission has approved the concept. If approved, the ordinance would serve as “a means of enhancing the entertainment, retail, educational, recreational, social, cultural and arts opportunities” for Sharonville.

Community Press Staff Report Glendale police are offering a free class to explain the basics of firearms safety, and give participants a chance to test their skills on a training simulator. The class was offered last year, and was well-received, according to Police Chief Dave Warman. “While this is not a certification course, we will provide information on how to obtain a concealed carry permit in Ohio,” Warman said. “Participants will also have the chance to use a firearms training simulator, which is an exciting way for someone to experience the stress and responsibility of deciding whether or not to use a gun.” The class will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 21, at the Glendale Town Hall, 80 E. Sharon Road. To register, contact Glendale police at 771-7645 or by email at glendalepolice@hotmail.com. Be sure to include your name and phone number.

Moeller anniversary gala nets record profit Moeller has much to celebrate as the school begins to commemorate its 50th year. The recent Main Event’s Silver Anniversary Gala netted $292,000 – a record profit. “The Moeller Family continues to generously support our students – even more in times of economic difficulty,” Principal Blane Collison said. “It’s one of the special blessings of being part of this Marianist community. And we are extremely grateful.” The support became most evident during the auction’s Fund-A-Need opportunity. This year’s greatest need was direct tuition assistance and an anonymous donor offered to match whatever was raised during this event. As auctioneer Lance Walker opened the support level at $5,000, paddles went up throughout the room. “By the end, it seemed as though every guest had supported our Fund-A-Need

Moeller’s recent Main Event, the Silver Anniversary Gala, netted $292,000. Principal Blane Collison (far left) and the Main Event’s coordinator Marcia Lechner and administrative assistant Betsy Morgan (far right) flank a few of the students of Moeller who will benefit from the gala’s success. at some level,” first-year Main Event coordinator Marcia Lechner said. “It gave me chills. It was such a powerful statement and an incredible gift – the gift of a Moeller education.

Altogether, the Fund-ANeed raised $136,000.” This year’s first-class event was held at the Savannah Center in West Chester Township, where guests were treated to valet

parking. As they walked through the doors, students dressed in tuxedos tempted them with enticing raffle opportunities. Prior to the surf-and-turf

gourmet dinner, the evening began with Mass, celebrated by Friar Chris Coleman and Deacon Ray Kroger and music by the Moeller Men’s Choir, directed by alumnus Jim Balbach. While guests enjoyed appetizers and an open bar, they browsed the buffet of silent auction tables, featuring fine arts, potpourri, sports and home and garden items, and more. The live auction offered 42 exciting opportunities to win luxury resort vacations, NFL sporting events, a Reds suite, a limo rental for eight and even a mini goldendoodle puppy. The evening offered something for everyone, especially for Pam and Tate Cooper, who won the Grand Raffle (an Eastern Mediterranean cruise for two); Dave Naber, who won the Tuition/Cash Raffle, and Wesley Bridgewater, who won the $1,000 prize while playing the new “Heads & Tails” icebreaker game. In addition, former Main Event director Debbie Geiger and her husband, Bill, won

the first choice raffle; they chose a Christmas vacation in St. Thomas. “It was especially exciting for me when Debbie won the first choice raffle,” Lechner said. “Her assistance has been invaluable this year.” (Before accepting her current role as advancement director, Geiger raised nearly $1 million dollars for Moeller’s student programs and tuition assistance over four years.) Lechner said that she was also appreciative of all the parent support she received. “It takes an entire year and literally hundreds of volunteers to pull off this evening,” said Lechner. “My sincere appreciation goes out to every one of them – especially the leadership of our honorary chairs, Kris and Dan Neyer and Liz and Tom Knipper. This is truly the work of a Moeller village.” Next year’s Main Event gala will be April 9. The honorary chairs are Randy and Patty Hanes and Joe and Leigh Scheidler.

Games of catch bond Byrnes family

By Tony Meale

tmeale@communitypress.com

In the autumn days of her youth, as the daylight dimmed and the temperature dipped, Andrea Byrnes sat on the bleachers waiting for father, waiting to play catch. “He’d coach, and I’d wait,” Byrnes said. “He’d toss with me (after practice) no matter what.” From 1960 to 1995, Byrnes’ father, Fran, was a teacher and assistant football coach at Princeton High School. A former running back at Mount Union College – where he played with Princeton coaching icon Pat Mancuso – Fran, who taught history and government, was the offensive coordinator during the Vikings’ glory days ’70s and ’80s. When Byrnes was a stu-

dent at Princeton – she graduated in 1990 – she’d sit on the bleachers and watch football practice, eagerly awaiting her chance to ask her father the question. “Do you wanna toss?” Fran, tired and hungry, always responded the same. “Why not?” Byrnes and her father would toss until the lights went out, until the last player had been picked up, until silence serenaded the field. “This,” Byrnes said, “is what I remember about my dad. His faithful answer – ‘Why not?’” She said Fran wasn’t your typical football coach. He wasn’t much of a yeller. He never blamed the refs. He didn’t care about the numbers on the scoreboard. “He knew sports were about more than (winning), and I think his players liked

him because of his consistent demeanor,” Byrnes said. “He’d always come straight off the field after games to hug his family first – and always with the same expression.” During his playing days, Fran was nicknamed “The Worm” for his ability to wiggle in and out of danger. But one tackle Fran, 76, couldn’t elude was Alzheimer’s. The disease seeped in several years ago, and Byrnes, who was living in San Diego, moved home to help her mother, Sue, 69, take care of Fran full-time. “He still knows who I am, and he remembers stuff from the past,” Byrnes said. “But he can’t remember what he had for breakfast.” Upon returning home, Byrnes, who played soccer at Mount Union, put the countless hours of playing catch with her father to use.

MND set to host annual dance camp By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

The Mount Notre Dame High School dance team is hosting its Annual Youth Dance Camp Aug. 2-6. The camp has been held every summer since 2001 and is open to girls entering kindergarten through eighth grade. About 125 girls are expected to participate. “For many of our attendees, this is their first time getting involved in dance,” said head coach Alisia Davis, who graduated from MND in 2002 and was a member of the Cougars dance team for four years. “It gives the girls a week of experience.” The camp, which will be led by Davis and MND’s varsity dance team, will instruct girls in ballet, hip

hop, jazz and pom. Each day will have a theme, including Disney Character Day, when members of the varsity team dress up as their favorite Disney character, and Mismatch Day, when team members commit all sorts of fashion faux pas. Each attendee will perform three dance routines on the last day of the camp. “This is a chance for (the varsity team) to interact with the girls and give

back,” Davis said. MND has had much success in its dance history; the Cougars have been nationally ranked by the Universal Dance Association and last year finished 7th in the country in pom and fourth in high kick in the UDA accredited national competition. They team performs at MND basketball games, as well as sporting events at Moeller High School, the University of Cincinnati and

Xavier University. Some Cougars, such as 2008 graduate Jen Biele, even receive dance scholarships for college. Biele received a scholarship to Northern Kentucky University but transferred to UC and now performs on the Bearcats’ dance team. The MND dance program is divided into three teams: varsity, which is open to all MND students; junior, which is open to grades seven through nine (freshmen can perform on varsity or junior, depending on skill level); and youth, which is open to grades four through six. Registration for the camp is $125 and due by July 19; late registration costs $140. For anyone unable to attend the camp, there will be an open tryout at MND this fall.

home to show Fran her helmet. “It reminded me of how he used to rush to me after games,” Byrnes said. “He doesn’t talk much anymore, but he said, ‘I’m proud of you.’” Byrnes, who plays wide receiver and sees time on special teams, had her 2009 season curtailed due to injury and sat out for most of 2010. She has had three reconstructive knee surgeries but plans to play as long as she can. Fran, who is moving to Brookdale Place, an assisted living facility in Finneytown, has been unable to see his daughter in action. But he knows she plays, and he remembers they used to toss. “That is why I play football,” Byrnes said. “And I know that makes him proud.”

Summer ball serves Wyoming graduate well By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com

Marshall University pitcher and Wyoming High School alum Ian Kadish struggled toward the end of the spring season, but a strong summer has him back on track to success. Kadish is playing summer baseball in the Northwoods league for the Rochester Honkers in Rochester, Minn. “This summer has been awesome. It’s been a lot of fun and one of the best experiences I’ve ever had,” Kadish said. “I like the guys on the team a whole lot and it’s just a good situation.” Kadish said the spring season at Marshall didn’t go as expected and he struggled at times with his confidence. He said it was important for him to have fun with baseball again this summer. “I was doubting myself a bit, and once I got to Rochester I gained that confidence back and almost had to re-learn how baseball is fun,” he said. “I think I took it too seriously in the spring and put too much pressure on myself. The coaches out here and the guys have really taught me how to relax and have fun and just use my ability to the best.” Using his ability to its maximum hasn’t been a problem for Kadish this summer, who was selected to play in the Northwoods league All-Star game. Kadish said the game was one of the highlights of his career. “It was unbelievable. There were some great players there and there were 5,000 fans at the game. It was the biggest crowd I’ve ever played in front of and the atmosphere was just awesome. It’s the most unbelievable thing I’ve been a part of in a long time,” Kadish said. Kadish, a 2007 Wyoming grad, said the key to his success next year at Marshall will be staying upbeat. “And remembering that

It’s a sweet little city and it revolves around the team. We get 1,500 fans at games and some of them heckle the other teams, which is always funny. And the team hangs out a lot; we pretty much live together all day every day and no one is uptight. Everyone is laid back and relaxed, and we have fun,” Kadish said. Wyoming High School did a good job preparing Kadish for college, he said, and he advised younger players to keep working hard. “I can’t explain how much all that hard work will pay off,” said Kadish, who is still close with his coaches from Wyoming. “Pay a lot of attention to the small details of the game because they go a long way.”

What suggestions do you have for how Princeton and Wyoming school districts can cut their budgets to make up for the potential loss of tax revenue because of a Duke appeal? “While I can’t speak for Princeton I do have some suggestions for the Wyoming school district’s so-called dilemna from the Duke tax cut to recoup its losses. “First on the list would be to eliminate the not needed position of assistant superintendent. given the size of the district, the fact that enrollment will probably will never be much over 2,000 and that prior to this current superintendent there has never been an assistant. Now our superintendent may have to work a bit harder, but I don’t think it’s much to ask given the handsome salary she’s paid. Between salary and benefits for the assistant would just about recover your losses. “Next would be to hire experienced certified maintenance staff to perform routine and preventative maintenance and grounds keeping through out the district instead of outsourcing everything. “these items are as Wyoming likes to refer to as ‘unpredicatable in nature’ and therefore is very costly everytime a plumber or electrician has to be called. Fixed expenses are what should be outsourced and by that I mean night time custodial. This is a fixed expense where the same routine is provided night in and night out. Other districts such as Finneytown, Madeira and Mariemont just to name a few all use the same janitorial service with great results. “Once again the out of line salaries for floor sweepers combined with benefits would be a substantial savings. After all the district is in the educational business, not the cleaning business. These are just a few cost saving measures wyoming could implement and there are more but space constraints doesn’t provide me the chance to air them out. Just as some of us have had to make adjustments due to job losses etc ... it’s time Wyoming do the same instead of crying about the duke tax cut, and hire our own qualified, certified maintanence people to enhance and preserve out buildings at the lowest possible cost.” V.J.E.

Should Congress extend unemployment benefits? Why or why not? For how long? “The hard fact is that as long as this Congress and president are in control the jobs that were lost will never come back. Companies don’t want to hire knowing the tax cuts are expiring next year and the massive boondoggle called government health care is rolling out – they can’t make long range plans. They also can’t bank on what these business killing clowns in Washington will pass next. “We have to come to the hard truth – we can extend those benefits forever, but the jobs are not returning – the latest unemployment numbers are the proof. We can extend unemployment for 990 months but at what point does unemployment become welfare?” M.B. “We have been paying people not to work for much longer than unemployment was ever intended to cover. How about paying them the same amount, but requiring that they do something productive

For those who can’t do physical labor, how about routine basic administrative work for cities and states, things like reviewing backlogged parking and traffic tickets, hunting for deadbeat child support parents, mechanizing police files?” F.S.D. “Unemployment benefits should not be extended because, like any government benefit, it will produce what it ‘buys’ – unemployment. “In other words, if you pay people not the work, then that is what they will do. Bear in mind, I favor initial unemployment benefits for a short period of time. I opposed the extension of such benefits for long periods of time. “In any event, if the extension is approved, it must be paid for. We can’t keep running up our national ‘credit card.’ If the Dems must have this, they need to take it from the stimulus funds.” T.H. “Unemployment benefits are currently, I think, 26 weeks. I believe that in some states, there are provisions to extend this by an additional 13 weeks. “There is little doubt that we are in a frightening period of time when jobs, especially good jobs, are scarce, and unemployment is over 10 percent. “Many of those people who are out of work have lost their employment through no fault of their own, even though there certainly are some who are just too lazy to work, or who have lost their jobs because of their behavior. I believe that the majority of the unemployed would be grateful to find work that would help them pay their living expenses; and I believe that these employment opportunities are too scarce. “As much as I dislike the idea of ‘welfare,’ I think we have little choice but to make a reasonable extension to benefits, even though our government expenditures are already strained. Not an easy question.” B.B. “Extend the benefits only for as long as it takes to put together a jobs program – something similar to the WPA – and move with all haste on his. “Extended unemployment takes a psychological toll as well as an economic one. So many skilled, talented people have nothing to do – we need to find a way to put their skills and talents to work so they can once again be contributors to the community. And they need to work to keep their skills up-do-date so they will be employable.” J.S.B.

Necessity is father of faith I don’t really know why I am writing this column other than I feel like perhaps someone out there may want to hear this story, or may be on the brink of a similar decision. In 1998 I had a successful insurance career in Brazil, running the Sao Paulo office of a British insurance company. My wife worked for a company some of you may have heard of: Procter & Gamble. Two small kids, a boy and a girl, aged three and five completed the picture. My wife was offered a promotion to move to Caracas, Venezuela. I had to make a difficult decision: should I give up my career and follow my wife, or put my foot down and demand we stay put? I decided to move and become a stay-at-home father, in a new country. I thought it was a “no brainer” at the time. Our kids were growing up. Our hectic schedules were making spending time with them hard, specially for me: my office was far from home and the job required socializing after hours and travel. When we arrived in Venezuela my son came down with meningitis within five days (he had contracted the incubating virus back in Brazil). I quickly learned a few sharp lessons. First, I no longer had an assistant! It was on me.

Secondly, this was a far more demanding job than my former career. To begin with when you work on raising kids, it’s not like a work project. If Bruce Healey it does not work you don’t Community out, get a second Press guest chance to make columnist a pitch next year. The result of your work is not measured in money, profit or savings that can be neatly calculated at year end so the company can see what a great job you have done. The result of your work will take years to show up and when it does, it is probably irreversible. The pressure to perform is there every day but you never get daily feedback from your “projects!” My wife was and is enormously supportive. In retrospect it was a huge leap of faith to give the day-to-day raising of children to someone singularly lacking in experience. She has put up with rants and raves and has gently counseled me if I have gone astray. She has been a true partner in the extraordinarily difficult enterprise of raising healthy, principled and interesting children. OK, so some guys out there are

The easy answer is lots of grey hair! Actually I got so much more. I have had a shot at being with my kids every day, teaching them what little I know about the big adventure called life. I get to pursue some of my passions like writing and being a car buff, now they are older. I get to see the fruit of a tree planted under less than ideal conditions, 12 years ago, and it isn’t bad. The “no-brainer” became a blind leap of faith, but heaven help me! I’d do it again. Bruce Healey lives in Blue Ash.

Class named in honor of Holocaust survivors By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com

Roma Kaltman survived the Holocaust and she has spent much of her life sharing her story and educating others on the history and tragedy of the many lives lost in ghettos and concentration camps. “It’s very important (future generations) know a sad part of our history,” Kaltman said. In 1939 when Kaltman was only 13 years old, the Germans invaded her hometown of Lodz, Poland, turning it into a large ghetto with several hundreds of thousands of Jewish people living in a small area of the city. Kaltman, who now lives in Kennedy Heights, said she worked making boxes for ammunition for the German soldiers. “If not, we didn’t get soup,” Kaltman said. It was in the ghetto in Lodz where Kaltman met her future husband, Sam Kaltman. She said they would spend summer days sitting in the courtyard together. The two were separated when she was sent to the concentration camps at Auschwitz and Stutthoff and Sam went to Auschwitz and Dachau. Roma Kaltman survived along with her sister and a friend when they escaped a death march in 1945 towards the end of World War II. Sam Kaltman was able to reach Roma through a letter and the two married in 1949. They came to Cincinnati in 1950 and along with other survivors became part of a group called Survivors of Nazism that formed in the 1960s. Both continued to share their stories of survival and Roma Kaltman still serves on the Board of Directors at the Center for

Roma Kaltman, seated, survived living in a ghetto in Poland, several months in concentration camps at Asuschwitz and Stutthof and a death march. She met her late husband, Sam Kaltman, during her time in the ghetto and was reunited with him after the end of World War II. Roma’s daughter, Sandy Kaltman, left, and her husband, John Isidor, have dedicated the graduate level course, the Holocaust Studies for Educators Summer Institute at the Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education in Sycamore Township, to Sam and Roma Kaltman. Holocaust and Humanity Education in Sycamore Township, where she was one of the founding members when the center opened in 2000. Sam Kaltman died in 1990. Sandy Kaltman and her husband, John Isidor, of Amberley Village, are renaming the center’s Holocaust Studies for Educators Summer Institute in honor of Sandy Kaltman’s parents. “It’s a great vector for spreading the word further,” Sandy Kaltman said. “It seemed like the most important thing we are doing.” Isidor said carrying on the course, which is for teachers to learn how to teach a curriculum on the Holocaust to their students, is good for people to understand what happened. “The truth of what transpired carries on,” Isidor said.

Teaching the next generation

Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education in Sycamore Township hosts an Educators Summer Institute where teachers learn how to teach a curriculum on the Holocaust to their students. The class is being renamed in honor of local survivors Roma and Sam Kaltman. The Kaltmans’ daughter, Sandy Kaltman, and her husband, John Isidor, who were the leaders in renaming the course in honor of Sandy’s parents, said the class is a good way to pass history of the Holocaust to future generations. “The truth of what transpired carries on,” Isidor said.

What you’ll feel when a close relationship ends never heard from her again. No letter. No calls. No explanations … All meaning, delight and promise seemed to have from Father Lou vanished my life.” Guntzelman Millions of can Perspectives people empathize with his feelings. And whether it happens when we’re young or old, it’s always painful. We never want it to happen again. Numbed by our grief, we often resort to one of the following defenses. 1. Pessimism: we conclude we’re unlovable, people are untrustworthy, or we decide love is an illusion and try to protect ourselves from loving again. 2. Pseudoromanticism: we

It’s said a most precious situation in life occurs when we are able to achieve three important things: to love someone; to have this someone love me; and to have both these things happen at the same time. We smile and knowingly admit, “Yes, but it doesn’t always happen this way.” In his book, “To Love and Be Loved,” Sam Keen relates a crucial time in his life. He was a young man in college and in love with a girl who said she loved him. They often discussed, and really believed, that their relationship was destined for a lifelong journey of bliss. Then, he writes, “In April, the cruelest of months, she came for the spring dance, and after the last waltz, sudden as death, she told me she didn’t love me anymore… “When she left, I collapsed into grief and incomprehension. I

engage in sex for merely selfish purposes, play at being romantic or pretend we love another – but cut and run when things get too serious. That way, we’re never hurt, our ego is soothed, and the pain happens to someone else. It’s sort of a revenge for what happened to us. 3. Pragmatism: We settle for platonic or practical relationships, avoid intense expressions of romance, and relate as a good friend rather than lover. At times of hurt, disillusionment or cynicism, we see no wisdom in the centuries-old adage: “Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.” Heartaches, though never sought, are part of human existence. When they happen to us they seem devoid of any good aspect, they’re only catastrophic. It takes time to grasp the bigger picture of our lives.

We can’t see how the relational suffering in our lives accomplishes anything but a broken heart. Only later do we dare admit that they often can have some benefit for us: they open unrevealed places in our hearts, create compassion for others, and give birth to a greater wisdom about ourselves, life and the real meaning of love. Ernest Hemingway stated a great truth when he wrote, “Life breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong in the broken places.” Those are just some of the reasons why it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Yet there is even a greater reason. Though we may lose the one we love, we have still accomplished what many yearn for but do not savor. For anytime we gen-

uinely love, we are a magnificent success both spiritually and psychologically. As Rilke attests, “For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate test, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is preparatory.” The challenge to every human is to love. If our love is not returned, our call still remains. As Dr. James Hollis puts it: “The great rhythm of gain and loss is outside our control; what remains within our control is the attitude of willingness to find, in even the bitterest losses, what remains to be lived.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

‘Chow’ down on local cathedral chef’s recipes There are a lot of cookbooks brought to my attention to review. Joanne “Giovanna” Delli Carpini Trimpe’s “Holy Chow” really stands out in the stack. Giovanna is the chef at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral in downtown Cincinnati and is the author of this book, thus the name. The book itself is vibrant with color and reflects Giovanna’s unorthodox approach to cooking. “The hardest thing about the book was having to measure everything,” she told me. She has been cooking since she was 14 and never measured, just cooked “to taste” like many of us. Career-wise, she worked for family, doing accounting. “I did not like that,” she told me. Her interest in food led to catering and volunteering for school dinners and church events. Giovanna has a rich cooking background, having lived in Italy, Venezuela and in the U.S. Her passion for good food made with love has become legendary here in our area, and that led her to

the job she currently occupies at St. Peter’s. So how did she get the job? H e r Rita husband, Heikenfeld M i k e , Rita’s kitchen w o r k i n g on his master’s in lay ministry, invited Deacon David Klingshirn to dinner. He told her their chef was leaving and that she should apply. The book itself is an interesting read, with stories and Bible quotes (from her husband) that go along with each recipe. It is available online at http://holychowcookbook.com or by calling 513-295-2510.

Giovanna Trimpe’s Chicken Marsala Prepare chicken:

Use 4 chicken breasts pounded thin, to about 1 inch. Sprinkle 1⁄2 teaspoon each kosher salt and 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper on chicken. Put 1 cup all-purpose

heat add 3⁄4 cup Marsala wine. Loosen residue and add 1 ⁄4 cup fresh chopped flat leaf parsley and 1⁄2 cup mascarpone cheese. Whisk until melted, about three minutes. Taste and add salt or wine. Add 2 tablespoons water if too thick.

COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD

Rita’s version of chicken Marsala over whole-wheat spaghetti. flour in a bowl and dip chicken in to cover both sides. Shake off excess. Put 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add 3 cloves chopped garlic and cook to light brown; don’t burn. Add 1⁄2 teaspoon each kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper. Add chicken. Don’t crowd. Cook each side for three minutes. Add another teaspoon of olive oil if necessary.

Prepare sauce:

Take chicken out of skillet and add 1 cup fresh mushrooms or a 7-ounce can. Cook one to two minutes. Then on simmering

Prepare final chicken:

Put chicken back in sauce and cook on simmer for five minutes. Flip occasionally and just before removing pour 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice over. Take chicken out and add 1⁄4 cup water and whisk again on high for 15 seconds to deglaze the sauce and make it smoother. Pour over chicken when served – use a rubber spatula to get all the sauce out. Good with rice, potatoes, fettuccine Alfredo.

Update on radio rolls

Tom Heitkamp, a Mount Lookout reader, made the recipe that he sent me from a website. They turned out well, though he doesn’t know if they’re authentic. The glaze

was a disappointment, however, so we’re working on that part. I checked with Rose Levy Beranbaum, the queen of baking, and she has never heard of these rolls. Does anybody know of a bakery here that still sells them?

Rita’s pasta with Pecorino Romano and arugula

The arugula in my herb garden is still producing like crazy, though with the heat it is becoming a bit hotter in flavor.

Local chef Joanne “Giovanna” Delli Carpini Trimpe wrote a cookbook titled “Holy Chow.”

salt and pepper, and just enough of the reserved water to make a sauce. If you need more water, add it. Add arugula, mix and serve, garnished with rest of cheese.

Visit Chabad Hebrew School on a Sunday morning and you will see Rabbi Cohen standing by the front door, welcoming each student and family as they arrive. The joy on the children’s faces as they run to their classrooms, the warmth of the teachers as they greet the classes, all point to one thing: all who join Chabad Hebrew School become part of a special family. At Chabad Hebrew School, it doesn’t matter what Jewish background or affiliation you grew up with or what level of observance you currently practice. What’s important is the link that unites us as we pass the torch of Judaism on to the next generation. Said parent Orly Segal, “My kids love Chabad! They are always excited to go to Sunday school and love the warm, loving atmosphere while learning so much about Jewish traditions.” The feeling extends to the family events that are held throughout the year as parents, siblings and extended family are all invited to take part in the learning. Innovative programs abound. Take the first day of school carnival where each booth is staffed by an older student who fills the role of mentor, explaining a Jewish concept to their younger counterparts and family members as the games teach the lessons of the day. Or take Sukkot, when students together with their families join the greater community as horse-led

Then there is the mock wedding put on by the Jewish Lifecycles class as students and family members come dressed up to play their role in a traditional Jewish wedding. And of course, there is the yearly Kids Make Shabbat, when the Chabad Hebrew School students come to school on a Thursday evening to cook an elaborate, four-course traditional Shabbat meal which they then serve to their parents, grandparents and extended family the following evening as they also lead the services and explain the traditions. “This is our third year here at Chabad Hebrew School, and it is the third year I have gone without my child saying, ‘Do we have to go, it’s boring, just one time can I skip,’” said Cindy Reichman. Dr. Aaron Fritzhand said, “Once being a kid myself, I wish I had a Hebrew school program like this. No matter if you were raised Reform, Conservative, or Orthodox we are all one family here at Chabad.” Chabad Hebrew School welcomes all inquiries about the program.

Exotic pets can creep, crawl and slither into your heart By Marsie Hall Newbold Marsie’s Menagerie

“That’s it, I am so out of here,” Nipper scowled, sniffing me. “First, you come home reeking of other dogs, then cats. I understand that it’s a business thing because you write a pet column, but this, this is too much. That’s

frog pee if I ever smelled it. Admit it, you’ve been cavorting with reptiles.” “So, you’re leaving?” I asked, going into the kitchen and extracting a homemade dog biscuit from the cookie jar. “Yes,” he nodded, following me, tail wagging involuntarily as he eyed the

Brian Gill’s top five suggestions for people considering reptiles and/or invertebrates as pets

1. Find out what the animal’s lifespan is. Some can live for over 100 years. If you should pre-decease your pet, how will they be provided for after you’re gone? 2. How big will the animal get? For example: A tiny snake can grow to several feet in length very quickly. 3. Where will they live? Do you have the proper space in your home and can you expand that as the animal grows? How will you regulate the light, heat and humidity? Some creatures may need environments that are half land and half water. Will it be a hardship to keep the area clean and well-maintained? 4. What are their dietary needs? Get the specifics. Some eat only live food such as crickets, mice or rabbits. Are you able to accept that? Many people can‘t. Be honest with yourself because those are the realities of owning exotic pets. Determine where you will get their food and how/where it will be prepared and stored. 5. Find a veterinarian who specializes in reptile in advance of getting your pet. Your new companion will need regular, professional care on the same level as cats and dogs.

experienced owners. They also offer a “Pet Sitting” service for owners who want to leave their pets with experienced caretakers when taking out-of-town trips. Brian’s interest in exotic creatures began in childhood, even though his parents didn’t allow him to have any. He more than made up for that as an adult, starting with a Corn Snake he received as a gift. “What began as a hobby,” he said. “Grew into much more. Now it has been over a decade, and I’m up to 70 or more animals. Go figure! But this is what I feel I was meant to do.” Animal rescue and education was not his original career path. He was a Child Support Training Supervisor for Hamilton County Job and Family Services for nearly 14 years when a layoff caused him to reevaluate his goals. His wife Richelle, shares his passion and now acts as Director of Operations for Cool Critters Outreach. The sanctuary for exotic snakes, lizards, geckos, turtles, alligators and invertebrates of all kinds is housed in the basement of their Finneytown home. The home that the Gills share with their three children and a literal “Noah’s Ark” of wildlife (including three dogs, a kitten and two ferrets) is indistinguishable from the others on their quiet suburban block, until you spot a cage sitting in front of the garage door.

Brian and Richelle Gill of Cool Critters Outreach in Finneytown. Inside is a giant Iguana, enjoying a sun bath. Giant tortoises roam two pennedin areas in the back yard. What struck me was how neat and clean everything was. Even with dozens of cages and tanks, including a locked alligator pen with its own pond, the only smell was that of fresh greens being chopped for a “Critter Salad” of fresh turnip greens, kale, mustard and collard greens. A refrigerator is stocked with a freezer full of frozen rabbits, rats, mice and chicken parts. I also spot artichokes, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, grapes and bananas. In the corner, large tubs house crickets and mealworms.

“Our goal,” Brian said. “Is to dispel some of the myths and rumors that people have regarding these animals. We also want to help people understand what it is to keep a reptile or invertebrate as a pet. The problem is, people don’t understand what a commitment owning one is going to take long-term.” Send your pet photos and stories to Marsie Hall Newbold at marsolete@insightbb.com, with your name, your pet’s name, age, breed and a short explanation and she will post them on her new website: www.marsiesmenagerie.com.

Choice of soil important for ‘kitchen’ garden Of the major ingredients for a kitchen garden (sun, water, seeds and soil), the choice of soil is a vital key to a successful raised bed. As National Geographic in September 2008 stated, soil is “where food begins.” With a raised bed you have the chance to provide the very best incubator for your food. Contrary to some past thinking, “sterile” soil is not the best. You want to provide a mixture of natural organic elements. During times of economic stress and during war, people turned, out of necessity, to growing their own food. Many families survived with only a small plot of ground which they tended carefully, feeding and watering it as if their lives depended upon it – and it did. That is the story of sustenance. Some families during bad times learned how to groom and nurture the natural ecosystem of a small piece of land to give them maximum food. There is a tie-in here to raised bed gardening. If you carefully husband a small piece of soil, your family can eat from it. Some of the farming disasters of the Midwest were caused by heavy-handed plowing, over-cropping, and/or heavy machinery compaction of the land in later years. Some farmers used and abused the topsoil, resulting in soil degradation. Top soil originally was made up of loose heterogeneous clumps and had plen-

ty of air pockets to allow water and nutrients to get to plant roots. W i t h repeated Juliann B. plowing the Gardner top soil was Community turned over is some Press guest (and cases it blew columnist or eroded away) and the necessary microbial population that enriched it was also unknowingly destroyed. Enter the raised bed. With this simple construction you can provide ideal and enriched soil, in the depth needed for your vegetables and you can regenerate new soil on a small scale. With a rich base of nutrients, and the help of organic matter from compost, you can “create” your own nutritious topsoil. Right on top of the solid clay backfill surrounding your home (bulldozed there and compacted into a virtually impenetrable surface by your house contractor) you can install a raised bed filled with the kind of soil your plants crave. Adding compost and other decayed organic matter attracts the worms, who now dig channels in the soil for water-containing nutrients to reach your plants’ roots, leaving behind their castings as second generation fertilizer. This sets the stage for “where food begins.” Depth. Most salad greens can be cultivated in six

Many families survived with only a small plot of ground which they tended carefully, feeding and watering it as if their lives depended upon it – and it did. inches of good soil. Root crops, such as carrots, require more depth, so a minimum of 12 inches is desirable. For your raised bed, a base of “veggie” mixed soil, with added compost and/or rotted manure is your gift to your garden-to-table produce-quality soil gives a jump start “right off the block.” This soil base can further be topped with about one inch of fine soil mix, providing immediate soil contact for quick seed germination. “How much soil do I need ?” (Soil, not “dirt.”) It is a matter of math. A 2-by-4-foot raised bed six inches deep needs only 4 cubic feet of soil (about one large garbage can full). A 4-by-4-foot bed 12 inches deep and filled to the top requires four times as much, or 16 cubic feet of soil. If you have a 4-by-8 foot bed that is 12 inches deep, you will need 32 cubic feet of soil, and so on. Good regional planting soil is available locally, both bagged and in bulk. Juliann B.
