Fire Collaborative gets national recognition
KELLY MCBRIDE/STAFF
Sharonville is part of the Northeast Fire Collaborative.
By Kelly McBride
kmcbride@communitypress.com
A collaborative effort by several fire chiefs to enhance safety for firefighters and residents while keeping costs under control has been recognized as a leader nationally. The Northeast Fire Collaborative is among seven finalists for the 2010 International Association of Fire Chiefs Fire Service Award for Excellence. The award recognizes innovations and achievements in managing resources to reduce the loss of life and property from fire and other emergencies. The four chiefs: Sharonville’s Ralph Hammonds, Blue Ash’s Rick Brown, Sycamore Township’s William Jetter and LovelandSymmes’ Otto Huber will be honored during the awards presentation in Chicago Aug. 27. The Mason Fire Department, led by Chief John Moore, joined the collaborative in 2009. The creation of the collaborative was explained in the nomination submitted by Hammonds. “In 2008, the economic conditions dictated that departments look for better ways to fund and staff departments nationally,” he wrote. “There were several common issues brought to the table,

Working collaboratively, the departments were able to establish the
common ground of philosophy, response, fire ground operations and being fiscally responsible.” The unique characteristic of the collaborative, Hammonds wrote, was its ability to provide an improved service model with less cost on a voluntary basis, without
further regulatory action. “We wanted to improve the safety of the firefighter and be as fiscally responsible in operating our fire departments as possible,” Hammonds said.

The village of Evendale is filling in some of the empty space along Glendale-Milford Road. A large portion of the lot adjacent to Walmart on Glendale-Milford Road is vacant, but Kinetic Vision will soon open a new building in the location at Evendale Commons Business Park. “Kinetic Vision has an excellent client base representing some of the biggest names in the Cincinnati business landscape.

very flattering that they made a choice to be in Evendale,” said Jack Cameron, Evendale assistant to the mayor. Kinetic Vision, a product development consulting company, has been open since 1985 in Blue Ash.
Vice President Jeremy Jarrett said the move to Evendale gives the company the opportunity to build its own office rather than rent and to remain in the Glendale-Milford corridor. The new building will be around 10,000 square feet. Their current building is 4,500 square feet. “(The new building) will allow us room to grow and have room for more employees,” Jarrett said. As part of the agreement when Evendale village council approved a six-year tax abatement of 75 percent, Kinetic Vision will add
two to three full-time and one to two part-time employees each year. They have 23 full-time and seven to 10 part-time employees. Jarrett said most of the part-time employees work for Kinetic Vision as part of a co-op program through Purdue University and the University of Cincinnati. Councilmember Christian Schaefer said at the December 2009 council meeting that Kinetic Vision would add $31,464 to the village income. Kinetic Vision is expected to be in the new facility by Oct. 1.

County, asking for a federal forum after an original filing in Hamilton County in the fall 2009. The plaintiffs then requested that it be returned to Hamilton County, and on Aug. 3, Judge S. Arthur Spiegel dismissed the federal action. The original lawsuit followed the termination or resignation of three employees: Cathy Deters, Michael Pearl and Monica Miller. They were fired or resigned after allegedly drinking alcoholic beverages at the recreation center while a youth event was taking place in the building. Wyoming Solicitor Franklin Klaine issued a statement about the federal lawsuit. “The federal court dismissed the plaintiffs’ lawsuit, finding, among other things, that the allegations regarding the Family and Medical Leave Act failed to state a cause of action against the city or the city manager,� the statement said. “Plaintiffs (Deters, Pearl and Miller) had asked the federal court to dismiss the Family and Medical Leave Act claim so the court’s dismissal of only that claim was no surprise or victory for either party,� defense attorney Randy Freking responded. “Hopefully, this transfer back to state court will facilitate a speedy resolution.� Freking refiled the case
The lawsuit Three former employees of Wyoming’s recreation department, Cathy Deters, Michael Pearl and Monica Miller, have refiled a lawsuit against the city and City Manager Bob Harrison. Allegations include: • gender, racial and disability discrimination; • intentional infliction of emotional distress; • false imprisonment; and • breach of public policy prohibiting retaliation for in Hamilton County the next day and provided a copy to the Tri-County Press. “The plaintiffs then chose to refile in state court,â€? Klaine said in the statement. “There are no new allegations in the complaint filed Aug. 4 in the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas. “The only difference in the new lawsuit is that the city of Wyoming’s recreation director is no longer a named party, and that the plaintiffs have dropped two additional claims plead in the original complaint,â€? Klaine said, referring to Recreation Director Missy O’Brien. Freking said he prefers to try the case in Hamilton County. “We think this is a great victory because Judge (S. Arthur) Spiegel properly recognized this case as a state law case,â€? he said.
complaining of discrimination. What they’re asking includes: • lost earnings and benefits; • compensatory and punitive damages; • reinstatement to their former jobs; • permanent injunction against the city and Harrison “from engaging in any further unlawful employment practices toward plaintiffs; and • various fees. “We asked him to send it back to state court and he basically did. “We hope this facilitates a resolution that we have been seeking all along.â€? Though the current lawsuit closely resembles the original case, Freking said new information has been obtained. “We have found male employees who have not been interviewed, much less disciplined after being found drinking on city premises,â€? Freking said. “We’ve got two individuals who were suspected of drinking on company property within a month of when these three were terminated,â€? Freking said. “There was not even an investigation much less a termination.â€? The lawsuit also questions whether policy was violated as it is worded by the city, and challenges the consistency of enforcement

“Through the collaborative and mutual aid, we can meet the national standards by being able to buy as a larger group, which helps drive the cost of operations down,� he said. “What we’re doing is effective,� Jetter said. “We have saved money on gear and supplies, and work together on training. “We are looking at small tangible items that add up in your budget,� he said. “In today’s environment and economy, the Northeast Fire Collaborative was proactive in sharing resources and working together to enhance firefighter safety and fire protection services while being as fiscally responsible with the taxpayers’ money as possible,� Brown said.
“Today, with the economy we’re in, and shrinking budgets, we have to look at smarter ways of providing services to our residents,� Huber said. “Our big thing is the risk management part,� Jetter said. “Firefighters are at more risk than they have ever been.� “On a daily basis we want to make sure our firefighters are safe, and having appropriate staff and training keeps our firefighters safe,� Huber said. Though the departments work together in purchasing and training, each remains independent. “We’re acting as a district,� Hammonds said, “but we didn’t lose control of the customer service of our
of the policy that requires termination “only in the event of the use of a controlled substance.� The alcoholic beverages allegedly consumed that night were not considered controlled substances. The lawsuit also addresses the interviews that were conducted after the allegations. It describes the interviews as “intimidating,� with the presence of a Springfield Township police officer, and the three employees being “forced to wait in separate rooms while the city conducted its alleged interviews.� Deters’ interview lasted three hours, the lawsuit states, and all three were required to take lie detector tests. These details differed from other investigations in similar situations, the lawsuit states. Klaine declined to comment on the specifics of the case. “As in the past, the City of Wyoming City Council and administration will not comment on the substantive issues in pending litigation, other than to say that we continue to believe all of these claims are baseless,� Klaine said in his statement. “Accordingly, the city of Wyoming and City Manager Bob Harrison will continue to aggressively defend against the plaintiffs’ meritless claims.�

Glendale residents builds appeal for OK to raze house By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
A property owner whose request to demolish rental property was denied by Glendale’s Planning and Historic Preservation Committee has appealed to village council for permission to raze the house. Bonnie Schreiber wants to demolish the house on Washington Avenue because estimates to renovate it to meet building requirements are prohibitive, she argued through the appeal. Her son, Tom Schreiber, appeared before council on her behalf during the Aug. 2 meeting, asking for coun-
cil’s support to raze the structure. Schreiber needs permission to raze the house because it’s considered a contributing structure to the historic district of Glendale. The 1,300 square-foot home, with two bedrooms and one bathroom, was built in 1865, but has fallen into severe disrepair. The building itself, valued at just under $50,000, would need $130,000 in repairs, according to Schreiber. A previous request before the Glendale Planning and Historic Preservation Committee had been denied. Committee members said
they were not convinced the property could not be economically restored, which is one of the criteria for demolition in the historic district. The house is considered a contributing structure, which is a building that is historic as 50-to-100 years old, but not one of the original homes in the historic district. That differs from a pivotal structure, which is an original building in Glendale. The village has 59 such buildings. The second criteria that the committee said the request failed to meet was whether the character of the neighborhood would be adversely affected.
KELLY MCBRIDE/STAFF
Tom Schreiber appeals to Glendale Village Council, on his mother Bonnie’s behalf, for permission to demolish her rental property on Washington Avenue. “GPHPC felt the house does contribute to the character of the neighborhood as it is recorded on the 1869 atlas and is estimated to have been built in 1865 and the neighborhood would be adversely affected if demolished,” according to minutes of the July 22 meeting. Schreiber disagreed. “We believe there are some things that should not be preserved,” he said. “This is disintegrating wood, bricks and mortar. “The only thing historic about this structure is its age.” Council will hold a special meeting Aug. 23 at the Town Hall.

Crimes are increasing right along with the temperature. Sycamore Township’s Hamilton County Sheriff Liaison Lt. Dan Reid said there have been several thefts from vehicles in the township including Millview, in Rossmoyne, along Woodlawn Avenue and in the Kenwood Towne Center. Reid said 95 percent of the thefts were of valuables left in plain view in unlocked cars. He said that thefts increase in the summer months. He said many of the suspects are trying to break into all cars parked along the street. There was also a report of a break-in at a vacant building at 7777 Montgomery Road where suspects held a party in the basement. Reid said deputies in the township are also using the summer months to visit township businesses to get updated emergency contact information for buinsess owners and managers.
Dr. Kindt joins Drs. Grimm, Moody, VonderBrink and Merling and Nurse Practitioner, Sharon Kowatch, in their commitment to providing comprehensive, compassionate care for your entire family.

The Marriott Northeast created an ice sculpture to commemorate Moeller High School’s 50 years at the 50th anniversary kickoff celebration July 24 at the high school. Geiger said around 2,500 attended the kick-off celebration “Even though it was the
hottest day of the year, everyone came out to celebrate,” Geiger said. Geiger’s main project for her first year in the advancement director position was organizing Saturday’s festivities. The mother of two Moeller alums said she was able to pull off a successful event because of the hundreds of volunteers, the sponsors who helped finance the event and because she is passionate about the school who gave her two sons a good education. “I wanted to give back to Moeller for what Moeller has given to my sons,” Geiger said. Geiger said there are several more events planned to celebrate 50 years, including a joint mass with McAuley and La Salle high schools who are also celebrating the golden anniversary. The mass will be at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 12 at St. Peter-in-Chains Cathedral.

A word about the sponsors Moeller High School advancement director Debbie Geiger said much of the success of the 50th anniversary kickoff celebration can be attributed to the many sponsors who helped finance the event. Curt Curran and the Stratus Group provided complimentary banners, signs and invitations to 3,000 people for the event. The Marriott Northeast provided a VIP dinner to the top donors, sponsors and special guests.
The “Taste of Moeller” food booths at the celebration included food from Stonecreek Dining Company, Graeter’s, Montgomery Inn, Italianette Pizza, Great American Cafe and Vonderhaar Catering. Gerry Faust and Brother Bob Flaherty served as honorary chairs. Bruce and Pat Buckley served as the event chairpersons.

Ursuline students go to Germany for academic exchange A group of Ursuline Academy students spent nearly three weeks this summer in Aachen, Germany as part of their Academic Exchange with that country. While there, they stayed with German families whose daughters had visited Ursuline earlier in the school year and stayed with Ursuline student-families. Accompanied by German teacher Lynda Hoffman-Jeep and English teacher Shauna Whelan, the students attended classes at the Sister School, visited numerous sites in Aachen including the Cathedral which was designed in part by Charlemagne, the Technical University, and several cultural attractions such as a bakery where they were introduced to the Aachen cookie specialty by a master baker. Many also traveled to the Netherlands and Belgium, where they stayed at a youth hostel and visited such sites as the Jewish Museum designed by American architect Daniel Libeskind. The group also took a boat tour of the city, went to the opera and ballet, visited historical monuments, saw the Berlin Wall and the capital building, the Berlin Zoo and did some shopping and dining. Another highlight was a visit to Cologne and St. Ursula Church (St. Ursula is the patron saint of that city).

The program is funded in part by the Congress of the United States and the German Congress. The goals are to strengthen relations between the USA and Germany, to gain a deeper understanding of Germany’s place within the European union and the world, to gain an understanding of German culture and history, and to improve the stu-
dents’ German,” Hoffman-Jeepsaid. She added, “A goal is to gain an understanding for what cultural fluency might mean in the German setting and then apply these insights or this template to other international experiences. UA students will be competing for jobs internationally and will also necessarily work in international settings; many of their parents are engaged internationally now and value this opportunity for their daughters. An academic exchange is an effort to prepare UA students for professional (and perhaps personal) life in the 21st century.”
Senior Megan Valerio said that she learned a lot about our culture and how the Germans are more conscious about saving energy and caring for our planet than Americans. She explained that most people ride buses, trains and bikes everywhere because it is safe, reliable and easier than a car. They also take fast showers and don’t turn their lights on often because they just use natural light. Another observation was that German people eat bread with almost every meal and consequently there are many bakeries (in addition to ice cream shops) in
Aachen. “I loved my experience in Germany and I am planning on going back to visit my host family. Everything felt more simple there. Germany has so much history, the buildings are old and beautiful, and they have cobblestone streets. It felt like a dream when I was there.” Whelan agreed that the exchange was beneficial on many levels. “ I found the trip to be an overwhelming learning experience for both myself and the students. One major thing I learned is how important it is for us as Americans to broaden our worldview, as Germans and Europeans are well ahead of us in understanding and learning about other cultures. The small and large differences between our culture and German culture allowed us to recognize that there is not one ‘right’ way to go about life. We had the opportunity to walk or take public transportation to almost all of our daily commitments. We saw in action the German people’s commitment to learning about other languages and countries, much more than we do in American culture. The German’s deep respect for history was reflected not only in their preservation of buildings but also in their preservation of memories and stories.”

T h e lodges provide comfortable, nocost, supportive places to stay for cancer patients who travel for treatment. They are homes away from home. Hope Lodges in Cincinnati and Cleveland have saved guests millions of dollars in lodging costs in the past decade. The Pan Ohio Hope Ride is a four-day touring ride from Cleveland to Cincinnati with overnights at some of Ohio’s beautiful college campuses. Anthony, a four-day participant, joined more than 350 cyclists of all skill levels, and enjoyed a mix of scenic byways, country roads and spectacular trails. “A native Clevelander, with family still there, this ride is especially significant for me,” Anthony said. “I am also an alum of Wittenberg University in Springfield, which is where all the riders will spend the night on July 31, so this ride will be very enjoyable for me.”

Wyoming eyes CHL, state titles By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Wyoming High School volleyball team has strong returning talent and could be poised for a deep tournament run in the 2010 season. “We’re looking pretty solid,” head coach Julie Plitt said. “I think we’re not only looking to compete for a league title, but I think this team can compete for a state title. It’s probably the best high school team I’ve ever coached.” The Cowboys have a deep pool of talented players but will be led by junior Emily Fraik.

Strong junior class leads Viking tennis By Mark Chalifoux The Princeton High School tennis team features five returning juniors and that core should lead the Vikings to a successful season on the courts. “We’re going to be pretty solid,” head coach Brian Mulholland said. “We have some good starters back for us.” Princeton will be led by Valeta Brown, who played

TENNIS No. 2 singles for the Vikings in 2009 and was 8-2. Jenna Kufeldt played No. 3 singles in 2009 and was 4-1 and will be another standout for Princeton. Amy Nguyen and Holly Grender played doubles last season and should be a key doubles team for Princeton this season.
“We’re expecting a lot out of them,” Mulholland said. “Experience is very valuable and quite a few of those girls played on varsity their freshmen and sophomore years, so we know how to work with each other. Having this many kids back is big for us.” One problem for Princeton is playing in the GMC, one of the toughest leagues in the state. Princeton was fifth in the GMC in 2009 with a 5-4 league record
and a 7-7 record overall. “It’s a very tough, tough league,” Mulholland said. “We just fight to try to get in that group of the Lakotas and Mason and Sycamore and break into that top four. It helps the girls prepare for the tournament though, because there’s not much they haven’t seen after you’ve gone through the league schedule. It’s a great measuring stick.” With such a young team,
the Vikings could be even stronger if everyone returns for 2011. The season at end though should still be a good one for Princeton. “They are a very coachable, tight-knit group,” Mulholland said. “We hope everyone just continues to get better and have the mindset that we can play with anybody.” Mulholland said the chemistry was great in 2009 and he expects that to carry over to this season.

Lions looking to roar back to top By Anthony Amorini eastsports@communitypress.com
Bacon volleyball ready to win By Jake Meyer jmeyer@communitypress.com
Roger Bacon High School girls’ volleyball team is primed and ready to start a season that head coach Ryan Bedinghaus hopes will last deep into the postseason. Roger Bacon is coming off a successful campaign in 2009, one that saw the Spartans compile a 21-5 overall record and a 6-0 record in Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League play. That mark was good enough to win the Girls Greater Cincinnati League Grey Central division, and propelled Roger Bacon to Division-III sectional and district championships and a final state ranking of 16. Hoping to improve on that record, Roger Bacon returns senior middles Ally Hawkins, who was second team all-conference, and Allie Henkel, who was an honorable mention all-conference selection. Hawkins ranked 23rd in the GGCL in kills last season, and Henkel also ranked in the top 50. Within their division, both players ranked in the top 15. In addition to Hawkins and Henkel, the Spartans return a host of players with varsity experience, and Bedinghaus is pleased with their effort so far. “All the girls have worked very hard in the offseason,” said Bedinghaus, who was named GGCL Grey Central coach of the year. Standing in the way of the Spartans is a very tough slate of opponents, both inside of the GGCL and outside. Roger Bacon opens the season with a tough doubleheader against Newport Central Catholic and Mercy Aug. 30. Roger Bacon’s September schedule includes a Sept. 9 match against McNicholas and a Sept. 28 match against Fenwick, who defeated the Spartans last season. “It’s always a huge ordeal when we play McNick and Fenwick,” Bedinghaus said. The October schedule features a budding rivalry as Roger Bacon travels to Indian Hill Oct. 9. Bedinghaus is the former coach at Indian Hill and his sister is the current coach, adding to the intensity of the game. Even with a very challenging slate of games, Bedinghaus is confident his team is ready for another excellent year. “I think we can do just as well if not better,” Bedinghaus said. “I think they are hungry. I think it’ll be a competitive season, but they want to do better.”

Though the Lions don’t have a season-ending loss to fuel them, Case believes Ursuline’s strong leadership will help carry the team. “The seniors want to end on a good note and they’ve already had good careers,” Case said. “When you have nine seniors on the team it’s kind of neat. You don’t get that often.” Ursuline returns five senior starters including Kori Moster (libero), Christina Beer (middle hitter), Olivia Johnson (right hitter), Elena Lohr (outside hitter) and Abby Engdahl (outside hitter, defensive specialist) in addition to returning junior Noelle Langenkamp (middle hitter). Beer, a third-year starter, finished fifth in the Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League last fall with 231 kills. Moster is committed to

Roger Bacon’s Ally Hawkins (6) gets the ball over the net past Abby Zennie of Wyoming during a 2009 match.
Numerous returning players with experience from Ursuline Academy’s victory in the 2009 Division I state finals – the fourth state title in the volleyball program’s history – are back for fifthyear head coach Jeni Case in the hopes of defending the Lions’ title in 2010. But Ursuline’s undefeated 29-0 season in 2009 doesn’t quite provide the same teachable moment as the Lions’ loss in the 2008 state finals. Last summer, avenging the 2008 loss was mentioned early and often by Case and her players. But now the Lions have a title to defend as the team attempts to ignore its high mark from one season ago. “Every year is new and it doesn’t matter what you did last year,” Case said of her mentality entering the 2010 campaign. “We lost some really strong players so I don’t feel like (this team) will be playing with pressure.” With that said, Case is still confident her bunch can rise to the top again. “I just tell them there’s no reason they can’t do it again but we don’t really talk about (defending the state title) much,” Case said. “They are a talented group and they want it.” Ursuline’s roster is populated by six key returning
total of 366 kills. Senior Nikki Hill (setter) and juniors Iris Brewer (setter) and Kate Reilly (right hitter) will also be key contributors, Case said. Jamie Goldschmidt was out all last season because of her back, Case said. She was honorable mention allleague her sophomore year. “I think there’s definitely a possibility (that this year’s team will be as good as our 2009 state championship team) just because he have so many seniors and a core who have been there,” Case said. “They will have to play a bigger role this year but we could definitely be one of the top teams in the state. “It will take a lot more work than it did last year though,” Case added. Ursuline opens with a road game against Alter at 7 p.m.

My mortgage rate has dropped to 3.9 percent.” CincyCapelli “It’s killing seniors who depend on interest income for living expenses. The only people benefitting are those who couldn’t pay their bills and are looking to refinance and those about to be foreclosed on who now have a chance to sell their homes. The rest of us are footing the bill. The savers and those who live responsibly are paying for the irresponsibility of others. That seems to be the new American way.” piercesenior “Banks are robbers, they are worse then the people who realy do rob them. They screw out of a lot of money one way or another.

Bengals fans seem to have mixed decisions on whether wide receiver Terrell Owens (81) will help or hurt the team – particularly paired with Chad Ochocinco (85).
CH@TROOM Aug. 4 questions
How much of a difference will Terrell Owens makes for the Bengals, both on the field and off the field? “It’s anybody’s guess. On one hand, he has some impressive seasons (2000-2002 with San Francisco and 2007-2008 with Dallas), but on the other hand, the ability of anyone to endure the rigors of professional football and continue to excel is limited. “Owens is only three years younger than Brett Favre, and his position (wide receiver) is probably more demanding in terms of stamina than Brett. For now, at least for a year or so, the team of Chad and Terrell will be a formidable challenge for the Bengals’ opponents.” B.B. “Hard to tell this early, but since he has a reputation of speed, and with Ochocinco on the other end of the line, the chances of more scoring might be greater for this season.” O.H.R. “While Terrell’s arrival was covered in a positive way and he behaved quite well, his past actions with multiple teams worries me.

Princeton Square has started making changes – new color shemes on the buildings, for example – as part of its makeover. What do you think of the changes so far? No responses.
Social Security recently redesigned its online frequently asked questions database containing answers to hundreds of questions. Cincinnati Public Affairs Specialist Sue Denny recently tested the searchable database using a question posed by a local financial planner: “Can you provide me with some information about voluntary suspension of retirement benefits? We have a 66-year-old client who would like to further inquire about stopping his benefits and the procedure, then what he can expect when he decides to restart.” Sue turned to the link “Have a question? Find an answer here” in the upper right corner of Social Security Online’s homepage at www.socialsecurity.gov. She typed in a version of the financial planner’s question – Can I withdraw my claim? – and hit the red search button. Sue found the exact answer she was looking for: Q. Can I withdraw my application for benefits if I change my mind? A. Yes. If you applied for benefits and changed your mind, you can complete the Request for Withdrawal of Application (Form SSA-521) and re-apply at a future date. Be sure to include on the form the reason you want to withdraw. However, if you are already receiving Social Security benefits and change your mind, you still may be able to withdraw your Social Security claim and reapply at a future date.

Loveland High School graduate Scott Sonnenberg (in uniform) plays with the 555th Air Force Band. With him, from left, are his brother, Michael Sonnenberg of Loveland, his grandfather, Richard Colvin of Maineville, and his father, Doug Sonnenberg of Loveland.
Loveland graduate plays with Air Force Band By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com
Scott Sonnenberg was a member of the Loveland High School concert, symphonic, lab and jazz bands for four years before graduating in 2006. Now Sonnenberg – who plays the alto, tenor and baritone saxophone and is learning flute and clarinet – is playing for a larger audience. Sonnenberg, 22, is starting his fifth year at Ohio State University, where he is majoring in jazz studies and plays in a jazz band on campus. He also has been playing with the Ohio Air National Guard Band of the Great Lakes, also known as the 555th Air Force Band and Triple Nickel, since he enlisted in the Air National Guard in April of 2006.
The band is based out of the 180th Fighter Wing at Toledo Express Airport in Swanton, and Sonnenberg travels there one weekend a month to practice and play in concerts in the Toledo area. Two weeks each summer Sonnenberg goes on active duty with the guard band and joins up with the U.S. Air Force Band of Flight at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to play in concerts in the Dayton area. When the 555th Air Force Band played a concert in Blue Ash in early July, Sonnenberg participated. “Playing with the Air Force Band has been great and has given me many unique experiences and opportunities,” said Sonnenberg, a senior airman. “I hope to keep playing with them for many years to come.”

Calista Bockenstette, left, shows the portrait of Marianna Procter Matthews (c. 1902) to customer Barbara Haas. It was painted by Irving Ramsey Wiles, whose portraits hang in the New York Metropolitan Museum and the Smithsonian.
Consignment shop sees silver (and crystal) linings
“Everything has a story.” This quote is from a talented artist, a lover of fine furnishings and a woman who embraces provenance. You get the most exquisite feeling of being transported back to an era of good manners and decorum when you walk into her shop. Glendale resident Calista Ellen Bockenstette is the proprietor of Calista B., LLC at 11 Village Square in Glendale (771-1404). Every Wednesday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. is tea time, when you can sit and chat in cozy surroundings and enjoy soothing music. Calista lived in Glendale as a child, and still does. A graduate of UC’s College of Design, she studied art, architecture and design, and spent several years at the Cincinnati Art Museum. Some of her own beautiful etchings were featured in Traditional Home Magazine two years ago. You’ll find several of her signed and numbered botanical intaglio prints hanging in her shop. Calista likes including the work of local artists such as Mary Mark and Cindy Harlan Youse, Pat Clipson, Jack Meanwell, Brian Joiner and Jody Skowronek. One of her goals is to one day present artisans who can demonstrate their skill at something such as repairing the chips in crystal. “I’ve learned a lot from those who are experts in their fields. For instance,
you can remove a soiled spot from table linen by spraying water, lemon juice and a little salt on the area and drape the linen over a dew covered bush in the early morning Evelyn sun.” Perkins I’m sure you are Community familiar with Thane from the Press Maynard Cincinnati Zoo, but columnist did you know that he also makes furniture? Calista features a lovely cherry wood chest he made. It looks antique. Expertly dovetailed, there isn’t a speck of artificiality about the piece. Thane also refinishes wood pieces without stripping them. Calista opened the shop March 1 with an eye toward better economic times when people will again entertain with silver and crystal. “These are beautiful things that will last forever. The fun is in the hunt. People don’t realize that consignment shops are good places to get gifts for others.” She has pewter and silver antiques, and lovely old fine china. A tiger maple highboy was made in New Hampshire about 1740. In addition to an 1825 kitchen cabinet and a drop leaf tea table, there is a stunning hand
tatted tablecloth of the same vintage, once owned by the last Countess of Egmond. Beethoven wrote a symphony about one of her ancestors. Her daughter brought the tablecloth in because she wanted it to go to someone who will love and appreciate it. In perfect condition, the tablecloth is banquet size, 69-inches-by-137-inches with 18 matching, lace-edged linen napkins. One woman brought in gorgeous beaded purses that belonged to her aunt, who lived in Paris and lived to be over 100. Come see the mahogany bookcase with leaded glass doors from the Burton Estate (American Laundry Machines). Some items are inexpensive because Calista feels that everyone should be able to enjoy fine things. For instance, there are Coach and Dooney and Bourke handbags at half price. When you see the cookie jar shaped like a pig with three apples on the top, you’ll know that there is a lighthearted atmosphere about the place. Brimming with beauty, there is still a sense of openness. There isn’t space to describe all I saw, but you can go to calistab@ cinci.rr.com to learn more.

American Heritage Girls aligns with Boy Scouts The American Heritage Girls are proud to announce their participation in this year’s Boys Scouts of America Centennial Jamboree, making them the first allgirls’ organization to participate in this annual event. Though young in comparison, AHG has established itself as a highlyrespected faith-based leadership program with a national network of more than 10,000 members. In June 2009, AHG and the Boy Scouts of America signed a memorandum of mutual support, naming AHG as the first all-girls’ organization to be affiliated
with the BSA. “AHG is structured much like the BSA and its program is also owned by its charter organizations, making the two organizations perfect bookend programs to one another,” AHG founder and Executive Director Patti Garibay said. The American Heritage Girls’ booth at the Jamboree features a “Plinko -style” game where attendees play to win prizes including a commemorative patch featuring both AHG and BSA. “The patches are a big hit,” said Laurie Cullen, national membership development manager for AHG.
“People are really excited to see the AHG and BSA’s mutual support of each other commemorated on this limited edition patch.” In a recent publication carried by the Boy Scout National Supply Division, the BSA states, “Both the BSA and the AHG have decided to work with each other to establish a positive relationship and to cooperate in establishing AHG units and BSA units as a result of the shared values and goals of both organizations.” The brochure continues, “This brother-sister combination allows for both
About American Heritage Girls Since its founding in 1995 in Cincinnati, American Heritage Girls has grown from 10 troops and 100 members to more than 10,000 members spanning 37 states and four countries. The organization is impacting communities through the donation of more than 100,000 hours in community service in 2009 alone.

There are friends and then there’s a friend The word friend can be a catch-all word. Some people boast about their Facebook friends, “I have 75 friends.” Others reply, “Oh, I have 125,250, or 410, on mine!” High numbers make us feel popular and wanted. In his talks on friendships, priest psychologist Henri Nouwen made some helpful distinctions. He said there are five categories of people we call friends. The categories move from an outermost circle (where intimacy is weak) to an inner circle (where the intimacy factor is strongest). The criterion for determining these five levels of friendship is the degree and quality of mutual self-disclosure involved. Acquaintances are the outer category people. We only know each other superficially. They may be a teacher;
other parents we meet at field-side watching our kids play soccer; somein our Father Lou one yoga class Guntzelman or that we Perspectives met on the Internet; a down-the-street neighbor, etc. The topics with acquaintances are the weather, sports, newspaper items, school issues, life generalities, etc. There’s familiarity but no depth of communication. If we never see them again it doesn’t matter. Colleagues. These are the people with whom we work, volunteer, or meet while doing a project. When I taught highschool I was one of 71 teachers. We were friendly, joked, ate lunch together and chatted in the staff room.
Our topics were usually school issues, certain students, athletics, gripes about the administration or parents, or a good movie we’ve seen. At times there was a little more conversation into family or personal issues than with acquaintances, but not much. Relatives. These “friends” are the assorted group of our grandparents, aunts and uncles, marriage in-laws, cousins, etc. We may see them often or then again only at weddings, funerals, holidays and reunions. But we have a history together and more knowledge about each other. We may exchange minor confidences or problems such as how Uncle Brad was involved in some kind of shady business deal; Pam is coping with being bi-polar; and Kimberly had a brief but passionate affair with a married man. But being a relative does

not mean we necessarily choose them as deeper intimates. Family and friends. These are the people with whom we spend a great deal of our time and carry fondly in our hearts – parents, siblings, spouse, children, lifelong friends, etc. They know us better than anyone. There is a deeper feeling of affection, mutual support, and trust. If we lose one of them in death we grieve profoundly. Family members share a lot with each other, but not everything. A psychologically healthy person has his or her own boundaries, inner life, secrets and individuality. These components of intimacy are shared only with
someone of our own choice, and it is usually someone who is not a blood relative. Intimate friends. This is the innermost circle of human friendship. It is usually our spouse or closest friend. Such a friendship is extremely difficult to develop, and sadly, is even lacking in some marriages. Recent studies indicate that compared to similar polls in the 1980s, there are fewer people today who believe they have a first-circle intimate friend. It requires mutual trust, indepth and honest communication, and time. Our Facebook count may give us the impression that we have a thousand friends. But it’s unlikely that this most inti-
mate-type friend is just one of the crowd. This most significant category is not achieved if our communication is chiefly through e-mail or texting. A crucial element is missing – presence. Such a friend is a unique treasure and requires much openness and communication. I have remembered for years the wise words of a college teacher of mine about this truest kind of friend: “If in your lifetime, you have one, or two, such persons in your life, consider yourself fortunate.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Drink to your health … and for your health The temperature on our thermometer registered 103.2 this afternoon. And in the house, it wasn’t much cooler since I had been making elderberry jelly and berry jams with my sister, Edith and neighbor, Sandy. But it made me think about kids and adults who are outdoors and involved in sports. Proper hydration is so important to good health and optimum performance. What I worry most about kids in this weather is that I know it takes longer for a child’s body to adjust to heat and humidity than does an adult’s, so we may not recognize when a child is in trouble, hydration wise. Kids produce more body heat and don’t sweat as much as we do at the same exertion level, so in hot weather, a young athlete is at increased risk for dehydration. And remember, water works as a shock absorber in the body, so being

hydrated protects joints, for both kids a n d adults. T h a t ’s why today I’m sharing recipes for good hydration. It’s that
important. And be sure and check on older folks, too. They can become dehydrated without realizing it.
Homemade sports drink for kids
From my co-authored book “The Official Snack Guide For Beleaguered Sports Parents.” Check out colleague Dawn Weatherwax Fall’s website SN2go.com for more information on hydration and keeping your athlete healthy. To dilute a powdered juice drink, or juice from concentrate, use at least
twice the water recommended. Diluting the juice may taste weak, but it will hydrate your child and give energy for the game.
Rita’s spa water
I shared this recipe with Amy Tobin on her Aug. 8 radio show on Q102. Check out Amystable.com for the complete interview. Amy loves this drink, and so does everyone who tries it. Here’s why: Lemons contain vitamin C, which helps heal bruises, prevents cancer and heart disease. Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant, and the body uses vitamin C to manufacture collagen – that’s the stuff that glues cells together and helps heals cuts, etc. Again, the vitamin C allows your body to absorb calcium better. Susan Parker of Susan’s Natural World advises that lemons are a gentle liver cleanser. Lemons contain potassium, and we know that nourishes the brain, heart and muscles. It also helps
your body better utilize carbohydrates and iron from food. The mint is a great digestive and uplifting herb plus it “fools” your brain into thinking you’re fuller than you are. And stevia is a natural sugar substitute herb.
Master recipe:
Fill a jar or pitcher halfway up with peppermint leaves, bruising the leaves as you go. Continue filling about 3⁄4 to the top with lemon slices, bruising the slices as you go. Fill with good quality water, let infuse for 30 minutes at least, and sweeten to taste. Use stevia, a natural sugar substitute herb, which is 30 to hundreds of times sweeter than sugar, or use honey, or drink as is. Check out my website abouteating.com for a video and more information about stevia. I like to add blueberries, raspberries or sliced strawberries for a burst of color and added nutrition. This drink is refillable.
Frappé like McDonald’s
How about this on a blistering hot day? Reader Tom Ohmer has been looking for a recipe. When I called McDonald’s, I got a long list of ingredients. It started out with normal items like water, cream, sugar, milk, coffee extract, Dutch cocoa, etc. Then it got dicey with words only a chemist could understand. Years ago in cooking school, we made a base for fun drinks and it is similar to recipes I found for this drink. So here’s my take on it.
Mix together:
1 ⁄3 cup instant coffee, dry, crushed 1 cup sugar 1 cup dry milk powder 3 ⁄4 cup nondairy creamer 1 ⁄2 cup Dutch cocoa Dash or two of salt
To make frappé:
Put a couple handfuls of ice in a blender. Add 1⁄2 cup of half & half. Pour in 1⁄2 cup of mix. Blend on high until

Tips from Rita’s kitchen
• Non-alkalized, or natural, which is the traditional type. • Dutch/alkalized has a milder taste, reduced acidity and is somewhat redder in color. • Special dark is a blend of the two.

Continue feeding annuals and perennials as needed, and keep feeding those container plantings as needed. • Stop feeding woody trees and shrubs at this stage, and be cautious about any pruning. Whole branch removal can be done, but be cautious about severe pruning. We don’t want to encourage new growth that may not harden off for the winter, and we don’t want to remove spring flower buds that have already formed or will be forming this month. • Now’s the time to start that fall garden. Beets, cabbage, carrots, collards, mustards, turnips, radishes, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, lettuce
and spinach can all be planted right now, as well as a late crop of beans. These are all cool temperature loving plants; as they mature, they’ll be maturing in cooler fall weather. • Keep planting perennials for colors that come back year after year. • Now’s the time to dig and divide those iris. Cut the leaves back to a third of their size, dig the rhizome clump and wash soil off, cut rhizomes apart so each section has one healthy fan of leaves, inspect and pitch rotted (decayed) or borerinfested rhizomes, prep soil and replant. Water well, and water as needed. • Keep harvesting fruits and veggies as they ripen. Over ripened fruits left in the garden are perfect habitats for insects and diseases. Keep harvesting those herbs, and start drying them for winter use. Don’t let those annual herbs flower, as that tells the plant to stop growing. • Keep mowing the grass on a regular basis (never remove more than a third of the blades each time you mow), and mow at a higher level rather than
lower (3 to 3.5 inches). Change directions each time you mow, and keep those mower blades sharpened. Throw those clippings back into the turf. (Make sure your clippings don’t make it out onto the street and wind up washing down into the street drains.) We’ll evaluate the lawn for September renovation in mid-August. • Fall is for planting, so take the time in August to get your planting plans in place for the fall. Take advantage of local independent garden stores expertise, which offer landscape design services, and get your landscape plans done now.

Gardening tasks as summer winds down to fall Where has this summer gone? When I was a kid, my parents told me how time just goes faster and faster the older you get, and by golly they were right! So as we cruise into the month of August, here are a few things for you to do doing in your garden and landscape: â&#x20AC;˘ Keep watering as needed. Remember, one inch of rainfall every 10 days or so for established plants, so supplement as needed. Less frequent watering, but deep and thorough when you do. Newly planted plants generally require watering more often. Not sure how much rain fall your yard has gotten? Install that rain gauge! â&#x20AC;˘ Keep deadheading those spent flowers on annuals, perennials and roses. Removal of spent flowers encourages new growth, and new growth means more flowers. It may also help to keep those plants from getting stretched and leggy. â&#x20AC;˘ Annuals looking stretched and leggy? Cut them back! Most annuals

Cafe Chabad entertains Jewish community Café Chabad was back for the summer on Sunday, Aug. 1, when 140 Jewish adults joined Café Chabad for a fun evening of food, entertainment and socializing at Chabad Jewish Center. The evening featured a delicious menu of New York Kosher deli favorites, including a choice of classic sandwiches such as corned beef, pastrami and smoked turkey,
knishes, authentic sour pickles and delicious pastry deserts. While diners enjoyed the food, a lively “Newlywed Game” show (for the newlyweds and not-sonewlyweds) was led by entertaining guest host, Rabbi Abba Perelmuter. “Rabbi Perelmuter was hilarious. He’s a combination of Jackie Mason and Henny Youngman. We
were laughing all night,” Steve Frankel said. Rabbi Abba Perelmuter hails all the way from Long Beach, Cal., where he is the popular leader of Shul By the Shore. “Cafe Chabad served up a slice of the big apple with a side of California entertainment,” Paul Goldstone said. “Great food, great company, and great entertainment
all added up to a very enjoyable evening at Cafe Chabad.” Café Chabad has made a name for itself in Cincinnati for providing Jewish adults with social events that feature delicious food, great entertainment and good company. Conducted several times throughout the year, these evenings are a time to meet up
with old and new friends in the Jewish community. The next Café Chabad will take place from 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20; for adults only. Reservations and more information at www.ChabadBA.com, or 7935200.
