Prepared. For life Eagles soar in rare company

KELLY MCBRIDE/STAFF

The Dan Beard Council of the Boy Scouts of America is based in Evendale.

By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

It’s the motto: Be prepared. In mind and body. The Eagle Scout award is the highest achievement in Boy Scouts, one which is achieved by only 2 percent of Scouts nationwide. They are prepared. For life. It was a reminder from Andrew Zahn, director of development for the Dan Beard Council, Boy Scouts of America. Zahn has served as a Scout executive for nine years, four with Dan Beard and five in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It was in Iowa that Zahn earned his Eagle Scout rank in 1994, through a project for the Amana Society in Amana, Iowa. He led a team of his peers, as well as adult volunteers, in the design, construction and installation of a series of 20 bird nature ID signs for the Amana Nature Trail. That was in 1994, and he has used those skills to become an executive with the organization that taught him. The average age of a Boy Scout earning his Eagle is 17, as he proves to a committee the skills and qualities that will serve him throughout his life. It’s a journey of time and dedication that brings a reward of leadership. Boy Scouts is a rank advancement program in which the boys learn skills as they mature. Each rank gets a little more detailed, a little more difficult to achieve.

Inside • A profile of local Eagle Scouts. See LIFE, B1 “The lower ranks are centered around outdoor skills such as camping, swimming and first aid,” Zahn said. “The upper ranks are more advanced concepts. Eagle is the pinnacle. In the 12-county area served by Dan Beard, 345 of the 24,000 boys in the scouting program earned their Eagle Scout rank in 2010.

“The number is low because it’s so difficult to attain,” Zahn said. “The boys have to be driven, and have strong support.” They don’t have to start at Cub Scouts, but need to spend time as Boy Scouts to meet requirements for the Eagle, earning specific badges and serving as leaders among their peers. When they complete the initial criteria, it’s time for the community service project, which must be completed before they turn 18. “They have to plan, develop and give leadership to a service project,” Zahn said. The youth is going out to identify what the project is, secure any approvals for

the project, organize fundraising, and give leadership to the execution of the project, to actually do the project itself. “It’s much more than planting a tree,” he said. “They have to figure out where, how to pay for it, organize, and recruit the manpower.” When the project is completed, the Scout sits before a board of review of adult volunteers within the Scouting community. “It’s not to test skills,” Zahn said, “but on what they learned, and how they will fit it into the rest of their lives.”

New street name

By Kelly McBride

As drivers turn south off of West Kemper Road in Springdale, they will soon have to mark their maps with a new street name. McGillard Street, which runs parallel to Princeton Pike, will be renamed Jake Sweeney Place in honor of the car dealership that has done business in and contributed to the city for decades. The ordinance to rename the street was passed with a unanimous vote at council’s July 20 meeting. SEE STORY, A4

Glendale police add part-timer officer kmcbride@communitypress.com

Glendale welcomed a new member of its law enforcement team, just weeks after a veteran officer returned to work after a serious accident. Joshua Hilling has begun a one-year probationary period with the Police Department as a parttime patrol officer for the village. Hilling, a graduate of the University of Cincinnati, also works for the Xavier University and Kings Island safety departments. He will be paid $15 an hour and will work up to 30 hours a week, though it was estimated that his second-shift duties will come to about 20 hours each week. “He’s well-rounded,” Glendale Police Chief Dave Warman said at the Aug. 1 Village Council meeting. “We’re happy to have him.” Council was forced to delay the

In other action, two residents will be billed for the cutting and removal of weeds from their property after council passed an ordinance to bill the homeowners who didn’t cut their lawns and remove weeds as required by the village. Marlon Jackson of Cole Avenue and Juanita Brock Henderson of Lincoln Avenue will each be billed $120 after the village cut their lawns. According to the ordinance passed Aug. 1, “owners of real estate premises are responsible for preventing turf grass to be at a height in excess of 10 inches and any growth of rank vegetation and noxious weeds and shall be liable for all maintenance charges incurred for the cutting and removal of such vegetation at the premises pursuant to Village Ordinance 93.10.”

board wanted to name the gallery after him it seemed fitting.” Westheimer was honored at a dedication event at the gallery on July 28. “I was surprised,” Westheimer said of the honor. “It’s been a privilege to work in Sharonville,” the Lebanon resident said. “It’s such a great town, and this (Fine Arts Center) helps make it a much better city.”

Sewing Guild helping Clothing the Naked We continue our news about “giving” with a column about a partnership between the St. Simon of Cyrene Sewing Guild Ministry and the Sisters of the Transfiguration called Clothing the Naked Project. St. Simon member Rosie Holloway started this endeavor last October. Financed through a grant from the Episcopal Diocese as part of their adoption of the United Nations Millennium Development Goal www.un.org/millenniumgoals), the guild committed to a minimum of two years to make and send 100 pieces of clothing per year to a girl’s school supported and staffed by the Transfiguration nuns working in Barrio Las Flores in the Dominican Republic. The girls wear uniforms, but the nuns saw a need in the community as a whole. The clothes go to children of different ages and sizes. To date, the guild has sewn and shipped 115 dresses. Sixty were ready by Christmas and 55 were sent by Easter. Sister Marian Therese will begin service at the school in November. The plan is for her to deliver the remainder of the dresses by Thanksgiving, thus beating the deadline by a full year. She asked if she could join the sewing guild, and of course, she was welcomed. St. Simon has an association with the Sisters of the Transfiguration stretching back 80 years.

According to team leader Mary Beatty, they try to have an international as well as a local In FebEvelyn focus. ruary, they Perkins delivered 30 Community blankets and to the Press quilts Av o n d a l e columnist Mom’s Project, thus fulfilling the commitment of 60, half of which were completed in February 2010. This year they also made more than 30 burp cloths. While there, they shared in the fellowship and celebration of Black History Month with the young mothers. Rosie Holloway, Rudena Williams and Naomi Spicer (deceased) decided on the marvelous idea of a sewing guild some years ago. Actually, it has been going on so long, that no one quite remembers when it began. It has grown from an in-house quilting project that now encompasses creative fingers from all over the city who meet on Mondays at 11 a.m. at St. Simon, 810 Matthews Drive, in Lincoln Heights. Originally organized to sew lap robes and bed jackets for the sick and shut-in parishioners of the church, the guild’s scope expanded. Valley Interfaith, Good Samar-

itan’s neo-natal ward and Victory Nursing Home are just a few others that have benefited from their spirit of giving. In addition to the aforementioned others busy preparing for St. Simon’s annual Men’s and Women’s Day celebration (date to be announced) are Marian Clay, Tressa Chapman, Juanita Lackey, Ossola Gray, Una Augustine, Brenda Love, Emma Richardson, Betty Hill and Donna Saylor. Four beautiful handmade quilts will be raffled off at the reception fol-

lowing the 10 a.m. service. Tickets are $2 each or six for $10. The guild gladly welcomes new members, so call the church office at 771-4828 if you want to join, contribute or buy a raffle ticket(s). The work on these quilts is superb, and the winner won’t be disappointed. Evelyn Perkins writes a regular column about people and events in the Tri-County Press area.

Ursuline students study in Chile

Thirteen Ursuline Academy students and two Spanish teachers spent nearly two weeks in Santiago, Chile, in June as part of the school’s exchange program with that country. In 2009 and 2010 UA hosted students from Villa Maria Academy in Chile. On this pilot exchange trip, the UA students and teachers were hosted by Chilean families. The students attended daily classes at Villa Maria, where they shadowed their host sisters. They also explored the city and region with their host families and immersed themselves in the culture while furthering their Spanish-speaking skills. “I did notice a significant change in my Spanish skills. I found myself speaking Spanish a lot with my (Chilean) family because only my host sister spoke English,” said Kelly Kopchak (Class of 2013), adding that she also learned Chilean Spanish and slang expressions. The students explained that this trip was very important because in addition to having the

opportunity to speak Spanish and learn the Chilean culture, it was something they had been wanting to do since first meeting the Chilean exchange students two years ago. “After hosting Ignacia Jara from Villa Maria, I knew I wanted to travel to Chile and visit her. Even before this, I thought it would be a great experience in which I could learn to speak more Spanish and to immerse myself in a foreign culture,” said Kaitlyn Gronauer (Class of 2012). Many relationships between the Chilean and American students were formed before the trip, and staying with host families in Chile increased their love for their culture. “My host family invited me to participate in dinners and outings that made me feel part of the family. They taught me many Spanish words and offered me everything I could have asked for. By the end of the trip, I truly felt like part of the family,” said Gabby Ventura (Class of 2013). In addition to site-seeing with

One of the highlights of the trip was their visit to La Moneda – the Chilean White House where they stood in the President’s office. Spanish teacher Ruthanne Palmer says that she applauds UA’s administration for its support of the school’s exchange programs in Santiago, Chile, and Aachen, Ger-

many, (last summer’s trip). She credits fellow world languages teacher Dr. Lynda Hoffman-Jeep for being the guiding force for these opportunities. “And I have championed her efforts. In my opinion and from the remarks of our students this has been a life altering experience – all for the good. These exchanges prepare our students for life – one of global connections and interaction. This immersion into family life and school life in Chile has given our students more skills with which to meet the challenges of life beyond school – in

keeping beautifully with our school motto – “we learn not for school, but for life.” Hoffman-Jeep concurs that, “ International exchanges with Sister Schools throughout the globe prepare students for a productive professional life in the 21st century, as well as providing them with life-long international friendships. Ursuline students come to understand communities, cultures, institutions and families while perfecting their linguistic skills. It’s a formidable package, but they get it!”

Ursuline students serve others in Montana Twenty Ursuline Academy students spent part of their summer serving others in Great Falls, MT. From June 26 to July 2, the girls and their four chaperones participated in the Young Neighbors in Action program, which provides direct and indirect service opportunities to adolescents across the country. The program also emphasizes the importance of allowing participants to learn more about social justice issues and see the effect their work has on changing lives. Building relationships and breaking down barriers are an intentional part of the Young Neighbors program. The Ursuline students engaged in several service activities at four sites, including Eagle Mount, an agency that provides services for children and adults with special needs. Eagle Mount has a recreation center, home, and horse stables for hippotherapy, which promotes the use of the movement of the horse as a treatment strategy in physical, occupational and speech-language therapy sessions for people living with disabilities on their property.

Other activities included working with the Boys and Girls Club of Montana, the Rescue Mission, and volunteering with Set Free Ministries, a “biker church” that provides services for ex-convicts, drug addicts and recovering alcoholics.

The girls helped wherever needed during the week including yard work, office work, stocking of food pantry, painting, general cleaning and sorting/organizing many of the church’s supplies/storage. “The service trip in Montana was a new experience for me because I had never volunteered

outside of Cincinnati before. The work we did there was fun and rewarding. My group was assigned to Set Free Ministries, an organization working to help the less fortunate. They run a church and a house, where anyone from drug addicts to prostitutes can live for a year while they participate in a rehabilitation program,” said

Science teacher and chaperone Monika Nunez said that this was a valuable experience for the students, and “an amazing week.” She explained that the girls spent a week not only doing service in Great Falls, but also learning about a different culture at the four work sites where they served. “Whether we were working with young children whose lives are riddled with poverty, homeless men and women struggling to get back on their feet, physically or mentally handicapped individuals, or former addicts working to rebuild a church, we all learned a great deal. The service we did varied by work site – playing with children, painting a barn, cleaning, counting Easter eggs – but regardless of what we were physically doing I think the main takeaway from this week was to not judge others before knowing their story,” Nunez said. Nunez also said that girls made several great personal connections with those they were serving, and hope to continue to make connections with needy in Cincinnati.

Vikings race into cross country season By Nick Dudukovich

ndudukovich@communitypress.com

SHARONVILLE – Advancing as a team to the regional cross country meet is something the Princeton High School girls squad would like to pull off this season. With runners, such as Claudia Saunders and Lindsay Myers filling out the front end of the Vikings lineup, race fans have to like the school’s chances. Saunders returns for her senior season coming off a seventh-place finish at the 2010 meet with a personal best time of 18 minutes, 12.4 seconds. In 2009, Saunders placed sixth. Myers enters the 2011 campaign after winning first place in her age division in the Jenny Evans 5K race, July 30. At districts last season, Myers placed 32nd out of 86 runners as a freshman. Other runners expected to contribute to the Vikings lineup include Jada Grant, Madeline Burke and Samia Bell. Princeton head coach Bob Fritz believes the squad believes his team will perform soundly at invitational events this fall, as well as at the league meet in October.

MELANIE LAUGHMAN/STAFF

Janet and Bob Evans, parents of the late Jenny Evans, congratulate two of the top three female 15-18 runners in the 12th annual race – first-place winner in that age group Lindsay Myers (Princeton High School sophomore) and second-place winner Melissa Deitzer. Rachel Waltz (third place) is not pictured. The event honors Evans, a former cross country runner at Fairfield High School who was attending Wilmington College when she died in a car crash in December 1998. The race raises money for scholarships awarded annually to a girl and a boy cross country runner. “We’d like to break into the top half (of the Greater Miami Conference),” Fritz said. For the boys, a seniorladen team returns this fall capable of posting respectable times. Those senior runners

include Matt Smith, Alex Osborne and Antonio Graham. The boys should also get some aid from up-and-coming sophomores, A.J. Lohmueller and Trent Barnes. Like the girls, Fritz would

like to see the boys finish in the top half of the GMC, after placing seventh (out of 10 teams) last season. “Improving on what we did at the GMC and districts is what I want to see, and seeing if we can’t get closer to qualifying for regionals,”

Fritz said Princeton could be poised to improve its GMC standing, considering several seniors from last year’s top teams have graduated, according to Fritz. “If a team was on the brink last year and that team had a good summer training and things are going right for them, they can take advantage (of their opportunity) this year,” Fritz said. While Fritz and company will eye the conference championships and postseason as high marks of the season, the head coach and his team will also look toward the Eaton Invitational as gauge of how successful it can be. The meet, which is scheduled for Sept. 17, features good teams and serves as an indicator of how much individuals have improved since summer training, according to Fritz. “By that time of the season...they really start to figure it out,” he said. “There’s good teams there and if we can go up there and beat a couple people or get close to them... It’s a meet I’m looking forward to.” For more coverage, visit Cincinnati.com/blogs/PressPre ps

Wyoming prepares for winding road By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com

WYOMING – Despite considerable success a year ago, Wyoming cross country coach Travis Glendenning is trying to paint his girls team as an underdog as running season begins. “We were league champions last year and second in the district,” Glendenning said. “I really think though that Indian Hill remains the team to beat in the league and the district. I think they have the top runner around in Elizabeth Heinbach. I think they’re the team to shoot for this year.” Predictably, at Indian Hill, and at other Cincinnati Hills League schools, the talk is about Wyoming. As a junior, Emily Stites was a firstteam CHL pick, leading the Cowboys to the eventual league crown. While she was individually behind Indian Hill’s Heinbach in times and races, her teammates were fast enough to put Wyoming over as a unit. “Emily Stites is definitely our top returning runner,” Glendenning said. “She was a state qualifier last year, and I think she can break the school 5K record this fall. She had a really nice spring in track. I know she has some high expectations for the fall, and I think she can have a really outstanding year.” Just behind Stites are two more juniors, Sammy Schwartz and Ameilia Irvine. Schwartz made CHL first team, while Irvine was second team. “They lead that next pack of girls for us and there are quite a few that could push into that varsity seven,” Glendenning said. “I also think there’s some newcomers that could push that group too.”

THANKS TO PETER LEVICK

Wyoming’s Emily Stites runs in the CHL Cross Country Championships held last October at Winton Woods. Stites finished in 19:50, good for second place, leading the Cowboys to the CHL Championship. Other Wyoming top 10 finishers were Sammy Schwartz, fourth at 21:00; Amelia Irvine, seventh at 21:16; Noel DeMott, eighth at 21:21; and Hannah Neal, 10th at 21:49. All of the Wyoming girls return for the 2011 season. Stites and Schwartz were both CHL firstteam choices last fall.

For his team’s efforts, Glendenning was honored as 2010’s CHL coach of the year in girls cross country, something he deflects toward his Wyoming talent. “It’s a reflection of the kids I get to work with,” Glendenning said. “Any award I get is something they earned. It’s really a

pleasure to spend every day with them.”

Wyoming’s Seth Gold closes in on the finish line in the CHL Cross Country Championships held last October at Winton Woods. Gold finished fifth with a time of 17:24.9, helping lead the team to a second place finish.

All of the Cowboys return for this fall’s season. role as our senior leader,” Glendenning said. “He put in a lot of work this summer. He was an all-league and all-district runner last year and a guy we’re really going to count on.” Slightly behind Gold in terms of time last fall was Andrew Tamanko. Also a senior, Tamanko’s best clocking was less than a second off of Gold’s best. “He came on really strong late in the year,” Glendenning said. “He had a really good race at the regionals at Troy. He had a ‘PR’ there (17:24.70).” While Tamanko was a second-team all-league choice, junior Nate Johnson is coming off of a CHL firstteam season. “I think those three (Gold, Tamanko, Johnson) we’ll push each other at the front,” Glendenning said.

TONY JONES/STAFF

Wyoming’s Andrew Tamanko was a top finisher in boys Division II at the regional cross country meet at Troy in October. His season-best time of 17:24.70 for the Cowboys was second only to teammate Seth Gold. To win the league like the girls did last season, Wyoming’s Cowboys must deal with some Warriors in their coach’s opinion. “I think we have a good shot again in the districts and the league,” Glendenning said. “I think Mariemont is the favorite in the league and we can push them this fall. We have a good number of guys from our top 10 back, and there’s some younger kids that are ready to drop in time this fall.” Wyoming’s boys and girls start the season Aug. 27 in Centerville for their “Saturday Night Lights” evening event.

Crusaders cross country to dash near dusk By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com

Typically, cross country teams practice in the early morning hours during the summer months or conduct runs in the evening. The ambitious are known to put miles in at both ends of the day. Logically, it’s more comfortable to pound the pavement before the sun rises or as it’s setting. Based on that, Moeller High School, the Golf Center at Kings Island and Warren County got together to begin the cross country season with the Moeller Primetime Invitational Aug. 26 on the

Bruin golf course originally designed by Jack Nicklaus. The event will be held on a Friday night under lighting. “This is something new for us this year,” Moeller coach Dave Prenger said. “We’ve been hosting a meet to open the season the last few years. The opportunity to run at the Golf Center at Kings Island came about in early January. Everything kind of fell together.” Running the “Nick” (Nicklausdesigned course) at night is beneficial for all parties involved. “The concept to go at night kind of came up economically,” Prenger said. “In the morning,

there would be greens fees lost. They endorsed the idea to go at night. It’s not always that you get an opportunity to run at night in our sport. We kind of hyped it up to be a ‘prime time’ event, if you will.” Leading the Crusaders through the greens and fairways will be seniors Matt Ernstes, Jake Haigis and junior Zach Hoffman. All are returning starters. Prenger also looks for key times from juniors Jimmy Clark, Kyle Kaiser and Andrew Mendel, as well as senior Grant Lytle. In his third year coaching the Moeller harriers, Prenger has the

Greater Catholic League pretty well sized up. “The GCL South is extremely competitive in terms of cross country,” Prenger said. “I’d have to give the edge to Saint Xavier. They have a terrific program over there and a lot of depth, Especially, sophomore Michael Hall. He’s probably the one to be on the lookout for. Hopefully this is the year that we can get in there and mix it up with them and shake it up some in the GCL.” After the Moeller Primetime Invitational Aug. 26, the Crusaders don’t compete in the area until October when they have the

Father Rudy run against Elder and the GCL meet on successive weekends (Oct. 8 and 15). The schedule in between consists of of the Treaty City Invitational in Greenville (Sept.3), the Tiffin Carnival Invitational in Tiffin (Sept. 10), the Alliance Invitational in Clayton (Sept.17). the Midwest Catholic Cross Country Championship in Kettering (Sept. 24), and the Pickerington North Panther Invitational (Oct. 1).

It’s not all about swinging for the fences and scoring runs for the 14U Sycamore Squadron select baseball team – although they’ve done that well enough this year to win their SWOL American League Silver Central Division. Giving something back off the field is also an important part of the game for these boys and their coaches. Just before the end of their season, 11 members of the 14U Squadron team participated in the Kids Against Hunger (KAH) program organized locally by A Child’s Hope International. They were part of a group that packed more than 117,000 meals that will be sent to impoverished children in Haiti. The boys, along with their coaches and a few parents, manned two assembly lines for about two and a half hours at the KAH “factory” in Sharonville, scooping rice, soy, vitamins, dehydrated vegetables and spices into plastic bags, then heat-sealing and packing the bags into cartons to be shipped to those in need. “These boys are all talented, healthy athletes who are fortunate to be able to play baseball and never worry about being hungry,” said Squadron coach Andy Fredette. “We work hard honing their skills on the diamond, but we also want them to be well-rounded young men who appreciate how blessed they’ve been and who are happy to give something back to the world around them.” Team members include Ethan Beck, Casey Elsbrock, Sam Fredette, Matthew Green, Mark Hancher, Drake Heuerman, Joey

Madsen, Brendon Sabetta, Mitch Schuler, Andrew Size, Ryan Wahler, Ryan Wessinger, and J.C. Westerfield. They are coached by Andy Fredette, Doug Hancher, and Gene Wahler. The Squadron is part of the Sycamore Baseball and Softball Association and is made up of seven select baseball teams for ages 1015 that play in the Southwest Ohio League. For more information about the teams or upcoming tryouts, visit www.sycamorebaseball.com. Kids Against Hunger is a humanitarian food-aid organization with nearly 100 licensed satellite locations across the country that produce and distribute nutritious meals to feed children worldwide who are at risk of malnutrition and starvation or have been affected by a natural disaster. The local Kids Against Hunger “factory” is in the McSwain Carpet & Floors main office at 2430 E. Kemper Road, just west of Mosteller Road, in Sharonville. For more information or to get involved, contact KAH at 771-ACHI or visit www.aChildsHopeIntl.org/K idsAgainstHunger.

Returning Greater Catholic League golf coach of the year Rick Bohne of Moeller High School is in the Ohio High School Golf Association Hall of Fame and might well be the longest-tenured prep golf coach in the area. “This will be my 25th year; if I’m not, I know I’m among,” Bohne said. “I’ve got pictures when my hair was black, and now it’s gray. It’s been a lot of fun. Moeller gives you all the support you need.” And, the Crusaders give Bohne all the support he needs. Moeller has a string of state tournament appearances of which they’re very proud. “We’ve gone the last nine years and the kids want to keep that going,” Bohne said. The challenge for Bohne will be getting the Crusaders back in contention when they lost a crop of talented

Bohne Eckley seniors, including GCL player of the year, Andrew Dorn. “That’s an understatement,” Bohne said with a chuckle about rebuilding. “We lost seven of our top eight players. Our top returning kid, Mason Eckley, who played at state, has a shoulder injury. We’re hoping to have him, but that’s still questionable.” Eckley was a second team GCL South selection a year ago. Until he’s physically fit, the Crusaders will have to rely on some of last year’s bench strength. “In addition to Mason Eckley, I’ve got five other returning lettermen,” Bohne said. Matt Bitter, Casey Gilligan and Robby Thompson are all seniors on the squad,

STORM CLUB BASEBALL 2012 TRYOUTS

while Andrew Benza, Matthew Wetherill and Eckley make up the junior class. “They all had nice seasons for us last year, but other than Mason, none of them played in any pressure situations last year,” Bohne said. “They’ve got the talent, but the question is can they play when the pressure’s on?” At a school like Moeller, the competitive pressure is seemingly always on. They’re essentially one team, but with a “varsity” schedule and a “varsity Gold” schedule. Ohio High School rules allow 18 matches or tournaments and Bohne divides the talent up between both schedules. Based on performance, a golfer could play on both schedules and go “up” or “down.” The Moeller home course is Kenwood Country Club, but that will only be for three matches. “We travel more than we

play around here,” Bohne said. “We play our GCL tournament here, we host a tournament and we play in the St. X Invitational. Other than that, we play in Columbus, Dayton, Toledo or Cleveland.” In terms of league competition, the usual suspects are back in play shooting for the Blue and Gold. “Elder should have a good team,” Bohne said. “They’ve got a really nice nucleus back. X is St. X. They’re kind of like us with one starter back. Also, Lakota East and Mason should have nice teams.” After back-to-back league titles, a sectional title and a district title, the proverbial “target” is again squarely on the back of the Moeller golf shirts.

Reaction from local lawmakers to issues in the news:

Issue

Ohio’s updated employment data

Reaction

“While we’re starting to see some signs of improvement in Ohio’s economy, we still have over half a million Ohioans searching for jobs, with a large number of those out of work for more than six months, and an administration in Washington that doesn’t seem to understand that the best way to get our economy really moving is both sides working together on progrowth policies, not more spending, which has failed to create the jobs promised while further threatening our nation’s fiscal stability. – U.S. Sen. Rob Portman

Issue

Ohio House passes budget

Reaction

“Despite the faltering economy and previous mismanagement of the state budget, we closed an enormous budget gap without raising taxes. This General Assembly we were able to create long-term solutions to budget problems, instead of relying on one-time funds. We reexamined state spending to reform education so Ohio students can compete in a global economy and help our state become more competitive. This budget will help our state and local economies become more fiscally efficient. As a result, the state will attract job-creating businesses that will lead to a prosperous Ohio once again.” – State Rep. Ron Maag (R35th District)

“Republicans passed the largest spending budget in Ohio history. Yet this budget slashes funding for schools, the elderly and the disabled. Instead, it diverts money to the pet projects of the wealthy donors of the GOP. It is shameful.” – State Rep. Connie Pillich (28th District)

Like many educators, I am humbled by the tremendous responsibility of preparing young people to lead and succeed amidst the challenges of the world around us, and in my case at Mount Notre Dame, doing so within the character and spirit of the Catholic faith. The narrower focus of which I am a part – educating high schoolaged young women – is even more dear and personal to me. As the father of all girls, aged 10 to 32, my wife Barbara and I know firsthand the astronomical value of this juncture in a young woman’s life. What my daughters have taught me is that high school plays a critical part in shaping the women they will become. They enter MND more as children than women, and during the next four years discover not only a sense of who they are, but what in life may make them most happy. It will be my mission to deliver

those settings were great, I can tell you my most valuable and transformative lessons have come from my daughters. I’ve celebrated with them as they were accepted to college and, choking back tears, helped them move from our home to their schools and eventually to their own homes. I’ve shared their frustration as they have been passed over for jobs they deserved, and cheered for them as they successfully competed for the jobs they have now. Through it all, they impressed upon me the importance of grace under pressure and belief in oneself, demonstrating the integrity, strength and value young women bring to our world.

Ways to beat the heat, while preventing falls As the humidity and heat builds each day in the summer it’s harder to be active and enjoy the outdoors, especially for senior adults. The threat of heat related illness and death is real for aging adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Hundreds of Americans die each year from heat related illness and age is consider a leading factor. However, thousands of people age 65 and older will more likely die from fall-related injuries. Falls are the leading cause of deaths due to injury in Hamilton County in persons 65 older. On average, one out of three persons 65 and older will experience a fall each year. According to the CDC more than 1.8 million Americans over age 65 were treated in the emergency room for a nonfatal fall and 433,000 people were hospitalized. It is important for senior adults to be physically active in order to prevent falls. Physical activity

maintains or improves ones’ f l e x i b i l i t y, strength, muscle tone, balance and coordination. Stay safe and active this summer by Patrick keeping these Shumrick tips in mind combating Community when Cincinnati’s heat Press guest and humidity: columnist • Enjoy the outdoors (ride bikes, hike or garden, etc ...) but do so before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. to avoid the heat and humidity. Its best to wear light colored clothing and sunscreen to reflect the sun’s rays. Always wear properly fitted footwear that has adequate traction and support when exercising. • Don’t like to sweat? Then swim at your local community pool. Swimming is easy on the joints and the water provides

some resistant to improve one’s strength and balance. The Cincinnati Recreation Commission has more than 39 swimming pools available across the city. The cost for a summer pool membership costs less than or equal to an average meal at a your local chain restaurant ($5-$10). Some pools even offer water fit classes geared towards adults 50 and older. Contact your local pool or community center for details, (513) 3524000. • Stretch your legs and take a walk inside an air-conditioned mall or go to an indoor walking track at a local gym or community center. Most of these centers also offer weight rooms and an array of exercise and dance classes. Some even have chair volleyball leagues and chair exercise classes for those in need of stability and support when exercising. Call your local senior or community center to ask if they have chair volleyball. The Hamilton County Park District coordinates walking clubs

for those over age 50, call (513) 521-PARK (7275) ext. 240 for more information. The point is to stay active so choose activities that are interesting and fun. Talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise program. Not only can your doctor help you determine which exercises and activities are right for you, they can review the different types of medications you are taking and how they react with one another. Don’t forget to get your vision and hearing checked. Hearing loss and visual problems can both affect your balance and your ability exercise safely.

Last week’s question

Do you support a federal balanced budget amendment? Why or why not? “I support a balanced budget amendment because congresses and presidents of both parties have proven over many decades that we badly need one. Our annual deficits keep getting worse and our debt is piling up to such an extent that our children and grandchildren will be paying it off for a long time to come. Those current politicians who claim we don't need such an amendment are being very disingenuous, since they have created the greatest unbalanced budgets in the history of our nation. “If we want to finally control government spending and return to a smaller government, we need to put a limit on the government's credit card.” T.H. “Absolutely! If these guys had to like like the rest of us, there wouldn't be any question about it. It's simple ... don't spend what you don't have, and keep your nose out of everyone else's business.” J.K. “I think our D.C. politicians need to wake up and smell reality. If that can be done without a constitutional amendment I would

prefer that approach. “It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a person, or an entity is being foolish if it doesn't manage its finances so that the expenses do not exceed the income. “I realize that the federal government's spending is far more complicated than an average family, but the principal still applies. Do not spend what you do not have. “And don't threaten to take away benefits like Social Security from seniors as a way to frighten them into supporting continued deficits. Make intelligent, fair decisions about what to cut, and for Pete's sake, don't always come down on the "rich"; the rich didn't cause the problem – politicians did. (Of course, most politicians at the federal level are rich anyway, so ... ) Bill B. “I'll answer the question with a question: Would America be in an unprecedented $ 14 trillion budget crisis today if we already had a balanced budget amendment? Obviously our leaders do not know how to handle money and we need a constitutional amendment to protect us from them.” R.V. “Congress is filled with lawyers who are in the 1 percent that Democrats and media hate, yet

“No. It seems like every time an issue comes up that a few people oppose they want to amend the Constitution. Deciding on how much money should be appropriated is up to the House, with the Senate and the president concurring or demurring. “If an emergency came up that demanded spending more a way would be found to bypass the amendment one way or the other. Making tough decisions is what

elected officials are elected for. “By the way (if you have room for this), this country and this state is more than just a sideline for someone to dabble in for a few years. A great councilman, senator or congressman is a treasure. The next election is a sure fire term limiter. So I am against term limits too.” F.N. “Yes. I don't believe a modern politician can be elected without pandering to the electorate by buying votes with other peoples' money. “They can't cut spending, because so many people are on the take in America that they can't afford to risk the noisy protests that cuts will provoke. “The media is quick to cover protests of spending cuts but slow to show protests of spending. Forcing Congress's hands with an amendment is the only way congressmen can do what they know is right without being crucified.” P.C.

Ted Corgan • 21 • Madeira • Mechanical engineering student at the University of Dayton Earned Eagle Scout rank: 2007 Project: Built a 70-foot-long by four-foot-wide paver brick sidewalk along Shawnee Run Road in Madeira in front of St. Gertrude Priory. “There was a need for a safer pedestrian option in the area and I

had generous resources to draw upon, specifically the well-qualified adult leaders in my troop who were willing to lend helping Corgan hands and guidance,” Corgan said. “Multiple people strongly counseled me to choose that project over a few other alternatives that I had explored. St. Gertrude is also my home church, so it made sense to offer a solid service project to them. It was also convenient to live within walking distance of the site.”

THANKS TO JOSH WESTERMEYER

For his Eagle Scout project in 2007, Madeira resident Joshua Westermeyer renovated the swing set behind Madeira Middle School.

Josh Westermeyer • 21 • Madeira • University of Dayton student Earned Eagle rank: 2007 Project: Refurbished playground behind Madeira Middle School “It was in desperate need of restoration with missing swings and rusted chains,” Westermeyer said. He sanded, primed and painted the steel frame and replaced the clamps, chains, swings and other accessories. “I think the hardest part of the project was planning it. The planning was making sure that every detail was recorded to help minimize the amount of controllable errors. My Eagle project was the biggest project I had ever worked on up to that point,” Westermeyer said. What it means to be an Eagle:

“Scouting in general has really helped me focus on giving back to the community and helping others just as someone helped me,”

Westermeyer said. He said his Eagle Scout project helped him communicate better with others and also how to discuss professional goals. He said the project also helped him take constructive criticism and turn it into a positive outcome. “(What) stands out to me specifically about being an Eagle Scout is also the strong leadership skills along with a higher self esteem and confidence when speaking to elders,” Westermeyer said. “The value of being an Eagle Scout is indescribable unless you actually achieve it. When I first started scouting I never really understood the impact that being an Eagle Scout would have on my life until I became one.” – By Amanda Hopkins, ahopkins@communitypress.com

Corgan said the hardest part of the project was working in the oppressive heat. “It took us two full weeks of daily work in mid-June to complete the job,” Corgan said. “We addressed the problem by borrowing some tent canopies for shade.” One thing Corgan learned from his project, he said, was that the relative difficulty of executing an event rises as the number of people with unique schedules involved in an event rises. “I also learned the importance of leading by example, that many changes to the plan will occur, and that you must feed your volunteers well,” Corgan said.

Project: Restored a playground at Hidden Valley Lake, Ind. “We repaired the old, worn out decaying boards, and put a coat of whitewash on the fence around the playground,” McWilliams said. “We tried to kill the weeds and repair any equipment that was in disrepair, to make a more userfriendly site for people in that area.” “I’m not a big construction person,” he said of his challenge. “When some of the other guys would build elaborate things, I

Being an Eagle Scout: The Eagle experience serves him even today, McWilliams said. “Because of it, I don’t give up on things easily,” he said. “I understand that good things usually take time, so I stick with it, and see it through. “I know that things aren’t going to be done in a day,” he

of close friends. “The character development involved in my journey certainly shaped who I am today, partially because the Scout Law resonates very strongly with the Fruit of the Spirit, though I made that connection later,” Corgan said. “I’m also not afraid to say that I still use some of the knots that I learned in scouting on a regular basis.” – By Jeanne Houck, jhouck@communitypress.com

The path to Eagle Eagle Scout requirements can take years to complete: 1. Be active in your troop, team, crew or ship for a period of at least six months after you have achieved the rank of Life Scout. 2. Demonstrate that you live by the principles of the Scout Oath and Law in your daily life. List the names of individuals who know you personally and would be willing to provide a recommendation on your behalf, including parents/guardians, religious, educational, and employer references. 3. Earn a total of 21 merit badges (10 more than you already have), including: first aid, citizenship in the community, citizenship in the nation, citizenship in the

world, communications, personal fitness, emergency preparedness or lifesaving, environmental science, personal management, swimming or hiking or cycling, camping and family life. 4. While a Life Scout, serve actively for a period of six months in one or more of the following positions of responsibility within a Boy Scout troop, Varsity Scout team or Venturing crew/Sea Scout ship. 5. While a Life Scout, plan, develop nd give leadership to others in a service project to any religious institution, any school or your community. (The project should benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) The project plan must be

approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your Scoutmaster and troop committee and the council or district before you start. You must use the Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook, No. 521-927, in meeting this requirement. 6. Take part in a Scoutmaster conference. 7. Successfully complete an Eagle Scout board of review. You must choose only one merit badge listed in items (g) and (j). If you have earned more than one of the badges listed in items (g) and (j), choose one and list the remaining badges to make your total of 21. All requirements must be completed

before a candidate’s 18th birthday, however the Eagle Scout board of review can be held after the candidate’s 18th birthday. If you have a permanent physical or mental disability, you may become an Eagle Scout by qualifying for as many required merit badges as you can, and qualifying for alternative merit badges for the rest. If you seek to become an Eagle Scout under this procedure, you must submit a special application to your local council service center. Your application must be approved by your council advancement committee before you can work on alternative merit badges.

Mango cutter/ seeder great for peaches, too. Kay Hitzler, nurse extraordinaire at Good Sam during the day and my sous chef extraordinaire for evening classes at Jungle Jim’s, shared this timely tip. We made a lavender peach claufouti (custard) and the peaches were not free stones. Kay took the mango cutter/seeder and pushed it through the peach. Voila – it cut cleanly through the peach and removed the seed, too, with hardly any waste. She thought it would be good for plums, too. Thanks, Kay!

Selecting sweet corn. We grow Silver Queen corn and it’s always so sweet and picked at the time of perfect ripeness. But if you’re buying corn, here’s what to look for: fresh green, tightly closed husks with dark brown, dry, but not brittle, silk. The stem should be moist but not chalky, yellow or discolored. Ears should have plum, tender, small kernels in tight rows up to the tip. A fresh kernel will spurt “milk” if punctured. Make corn sweeter. Add a squirt of honey to the water before boiling corn.

My good intentions to make cashew pear salad with poppy seed dressing using pears from our tree will never come to pass. Why? The squirrels decided to pull every pear from our Rita tree. I can Heikenfeld just imagine how it Rita’s kitchen happened: it had to be at night or very early morning when the pear heist began, since I was out near the pear tree right before dusk admiring all those beautiful, almost ripe, pears. I was thinking about the jars of pear butter, canned pears and chutneys I was planning to make, along with the pear salad. This morning I went out to pick some mint for my lemon mint spa water (check out my blog at Cincinnati.com, Cooking with Rita, for the recipe) and passed by the tree. I was dumfounded when I looked up. Really. Not a pear remained. And it wasn’t the deer, since they usually tug on the branches and leave a bit of a mess as they chew. To make matters worse, they cleaned the ground around the tree, so not even a piece of pear was left. It’s not that the squirrels need those pears. There are plenty of oak and nut trees on our property. But you know me, I’m not one to give up so easily. So I’ll buy pears at Kroger to make this nice salad. But I still can’t pass the tree without frowning …

Pickle some peppers on ‘Can it Forward’ day More and more folks are growing their own food in the ground or in containers. And with the increase of “growing their own,” comes a renewed interest in “canning their own.” Don’t know about you, but I have many great memories seeing my Grandma Wilson canning – even making her own kraut in

big kraut crocks. And I can’t forget watching my mom and Aunt Lena as they spent hours canning jars of beans. My mom was the best making her own jams, jellies, apple butters and more. M-m-m-m, my mouth is watering! Anyway, canning is making a comeback, and on

Aug. 13, you can join millions of food lovers curious about canning and preserving fresh foods as a part of “National Can-it-Forward Day.” Jarden Home Brands has teamed with Canning Across America, several cooks, gardeners and food lovers committed to the revival of the lost art of

HOME IS ALWAYS A WORK IN PROGRESS

“putting up” home grown food, to create this special day. Join the “Canvolution” visit www.canningacrossamerica.com or www.freshpreserving.com Speaking of my mom, here is her famous Pickled Peppers Recipe. It’s a very easy recipe, and works great with sweet or hot peppers, and green tomatoes as well!

Nell Wilson’s Famous Pickled Hot Peppers

6 cups clear vinegar, 5 percent acidity 2 cups water Up to 2 cups sugar Bring just to a boil and then lower to a simmer:

Peppers

Wash and clean peppers. Leave whole with a slit down the center (or poke with a toothpick) to allow brine to flow through, or cut into slices as desired. I like to remove the seeds if I slice them, but this is optional.

Canning

Sterilizing jars (count on about 5 pints):

TRUSTED HOME IMPROVEMENTS

Brine

Wash jars and lids. Then place in a big pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, boiling for 15 minutes. Keep jars and lids in the hot water until you’re ready to fill them. Now let’s make the brine and prepare the peppers!

Place the peppers in sterilized, hot jars, packing tightly. Pour boiled (now simmering) brine over the packed peppers, covering all the peppers. Add seasonings, such as garlic, bay leaf, herbs, etc. as desired, or leave plain. Seal and let cool away from drafts -store away from heat and light. No

“I wanted to create a website that would serve two purposes,” Foertmeyer had written to former Village Administrator Walter Cordes. “First, it had to be informative, providing all the information the village residents would need to keep abreast of changing programs, events, government decisions and committee activities. “The website also strives to inform the public in advance of all committee meetings and special events,” he wrote. “Our goal is that no one interested in attending such functions should ever miss an event due to lack of notification.” Foertmeyer recently modified the site, slightly altering its appearance and updating information. Village Administrator Loretta Rokey said she has been using the site to learn about the community she recently came to, to run its daily operations. “Everything you want to know about Glendale is on that web page,” Rokey said. “That’s why the navigation bar is placed the way it was, with direct links to information.” One feature that was recently removed was a Facebook-“like” option, because the village has no Facebook page to which visitors can link.
