Maple Knoll Retirement Village is home to a unique radio station that has matured with its listeners. The one-of-a-kind station housed inside the retirement complex started broadcasting at Reading High School 15 years ago. About four years ago, the operation moved to Maple Knoll, making it the only station in the country that’s owned by a retirement community. WMKV 89.3 FM has always played music by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Glenn Miller and Rosemary Clooney. Station director George Zahn said the challenge was to stay viable as the mature audience started to shrink. “How do you remain as a companion?” Zahn said of his challenge. “People really depend on us because we’re the last station that really cares about people over age 45. “We are passionate about serving people in their 40s and older, and we can’t abandon them.” To build its listener base, WMKV reached out to the caregivers of their audience, adding programs such as “Jack Benny,” “Fibber McGee and Molly,” “Trivia Tuesday” and “Computer Talk.” The station also has a website, www.wmkvfm.org, where information on events and programming can be found.

The announcement was made at the regular board meeting Aug. 9. “Dr. Pack’s footprint on Princeton has been his development of principals, which strengthens teaching and instruction, and ultimately positively impacts students

and academics, board President Lillian Hawkins said in a written statement. “We want to the public to know we’re going to keep Pack him around for a while,” Hawkins said during the meeting.

City council seeks ideas for Sharonfest 2011 By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

As Sharonville prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2011, city council members are gathering ideas and volunteers for next year’s Sharon Fest. “Over the years, Sharon Fest has morphed into what is now a festival for the benefit of local non-profit and charity organizations,”

Councilman Ed Cunningham said. That theme of charity will remain, and will be incorporated into the centennial. “We’ll do this by partnering with local businesses that want to support the cause,” Cunningham said. “That’s really the first step,” he said. “Getting the word out and asking for help will make this the fea-

tured summer event.” About a dozen residents have already stepped up to help, said. “I’m excited about the potential of this festival and eager to begin creating partnerships with local businesses to give back to our local nonprofit organizations.” For information or to volunteer, can contact Cunningham at ecunningham@cityofsharonville.com.

Sharonville offered fun with function at Sharon Fest, July 30-Aug. 1, where vendors represented non-profit organizations. “Sharon Fest is the only local festival where all the proceeds go to the groups running the booths,” Councilwoman Vicki Hoppe, who organized the festival, said of the event that included fire and police protection volunteered at no cost to the city. “It’s a community festival for our local charity groups and kid groups to raise funds.” This year’s event included 14 charity booths, as well as Rachel’s book bin, where kids’ books are collected and donated to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. New to the festival was Baylee Meyer, a Princeton Community Middle School seventh-grader. With her family and friends, her booth offered games to support the Spina Bifida Association of Cincinnati. The charities were joined by several food vendors, including the Blue Goose Sports Cafe and Shiska Haus, as well as LaRosa’s.

Sharonville to apply for grant related to rail project By Kelly McBride

No additional funds will be spent on the grant, offered by the Ohio Department of Development. During council’s Aug. 17 meeting, Jeff Chamot of Neyer Properties explained to council the company’s plans for Gateway 75, which Neyer acquired about two months ago. The facility at the corner of Kemper and Canal roads totals 1.1 million square feet, of which about 1 million is vacant. Macy’s leases a small portion of the building.

kmcbride@communitypress.com

Sharonville will apply for a grant to pay for livability planning in communities that surround the passenger rail station that the city plans to build. City council unanimously approved the application of the HUD Community Challenge Grant, which will cost the city $10,000 of staff hours as several employees work on the project.

Chamot, the project manager, said Neyer plans to add docks, “for better flexibility for office and manufacturing as well as industrial uses.” The company also will add a flood protection system. “That’s one of the biggest concerns,” Chamot said. In addition, the building will be painted and the property will be landscaped, he said. “Our intent is to breathe new life and bring in new

As construction continues along Glendale Milford Road in Evendale, repair will also be done on the bridges along the road. Evendale Village Council approved an ordinance that will allow Norfolk Southern Railway Co. to complete rehab work on the two bridges along Glendale-Milford Road. Jim Bothe, Evendale service department director, said the work on the bridge is estimated to cost $38,000 for 30 days of work. The price of the project could increase or decrease according to how many days it takes the railway company to finish the project. “We pay for how many days they’re out there,”

Wyoming school district welcomes two new leaders

By Kelly McBride

kmcbride@communitypress.com

As students prepare to return to class, they will be greeted by two new administrators. Michael Overbey, formerly the high school assistant principal, takes over as principal of Wyoming Middle School. Filling his previous job is Marlon Styles, who came to Wyoming from Northwest School District. Both men said they are eager to get started, and look forward to the new school year. “My ultimate goal is to ensure students have a positive learning experience at Wyoming Middle School,” Overbey said.

Continuous learning is important to support student achievement, he said. “I hope to support all of our stakeholders so they continue to be lifelong learners,” he said. Being in a middle school environment after five years of leading students in high school will be a change, Overbey said, though he has a decade of experience at the middle school level. “Over the last five years, I have kept current with middle level concepts and have brought middle level ideas to each high school I served,” Overbey said. Styles said he is looking forward to a collaboration with parents and the staff at Wyoming

High School. “Our goals are to prepare students academically and socially so they are ready for the challenges they face after graduating high school,” Styles said. “There is a great sense of pride and school spirit in the community,” he said. “I have witnessed the commitment toward maintaining quality academic and extracurricular programs for all students.” High School Principal Aaron Marshall had worked with Overbey for several years. “Mike is an outstanding educational leader,” Marshall said. “He will be a great addition to the middle school while continuing to be an overall asset in the district.”

Bill Hunt is still getting his feet wet as the new president of Moeller High School. Hunt started July 1 in his role as president of the high school, a position that many Catholic high schools in the area are adding to their administration. Hunt said his role as president focuses on alumni relations, admissions, finances and facilities. He said taking on those jobs gives the principal, Blane Collison, more time to focus on the day-to-day operations students and staff. “I take on the role as the chief executive officer,” Hunt said. “And the principal acts as chief operating officer.”

Moeller High School is one of the latest Catholic high schools to add a president to its staff, after Archbishop Dennis Schnurr appointed Bill Hunt to the position. Here is a list of area high school presidents: Cincinnati Country Day (Indian Hill) – Robert Macrae, head of school Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy (Sycamore Township) – Randy Brunk, head of school McAuley High School (College Hill) – Cheryl Sucher Mother of Mercy High School (Westwood) – Kirsten MacDougal Mount Notre Dame Academy (Reading) – Sister Rita Sturwold He said the first few weeks have been a “whirlwind,” meeting members of the Moeller community,

Purcell Marian (East Walnut Hills) – Al Early Roger Bacon High School (Saint Bernard) – The Rev. William Farris St. Ursula Academy (East Walnut Hills) – Judith Wimberg St. Xavier High School (Finneytown) – The Rev. Tim Howe Seton High School (Price Hill) – Sister Patricia Cruse Seven Hills (Madisonville) – Christopher Garten, head of school Summit Country Day (Hyde Park) – Rich Wilson, interim head of school Ursuline Academy (Blue Ash) – Sharon Redmond learning the duties of his new job and participating in the 50th anniversary celebration July 24.

“I’m hoping to provide a little bit of leadership to move (Moeller) into the next 50 years.”

Bill Hunt President of Moeller High School

Bill Hunt is the new president of Moeller High School. Hunt, who spent 17 years with the University of Dayton in various positions including alumni director and development director, said his goals for Moeller include creating a three- to

PROVIDED

five-year vision plan. He also wants to establish groups for Moeller alumni outside of the Cincinnati area, control the budget and look into possibilities for updates around campus.

He said he sees a need for increased alumni involvement and fundraising opportunities to keep increasing enrollment and maintain finances. “I’m hoping to provide a little bit of leadership to move (Moeller) into the next 50 years,” Hunt said. Hunt graduated from St. Xavier High School, the University of Cincinnati and the University of Dayton. He is married with three daughters.

‘Talented’ Wyoming eyes CHL title

By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The Wyoming High School boys’ soccer team should have a strong squad for the 2010 season and head coach Steve Thomas said he’s excited to get the season going. “This is, by far, the most talented team I’ve had overall in my six years here,” Thomas said. “I’ve had some good teams and some great players, but this is a really talented group.” One reason Thomas is excited for the upcoming season is the Cowboys boast a roster that includes 10 seniors. That leadership will be key for Wyoming. “It’s extremely helpful

Alton Reisen is the team's top returning scorer as he had three goals in 2009 as a sophomore. and this year more than any other we have a lot of guys willing to accept leadership roles but that also lead by example as well,” Thomas said. If summer and preseason scrimmages are any indication, the Cowboys defense will be the strength of the team. “We need to sort out our attack but we have five sen-

BRIEFLY First glance at fall sports

The Tri-County Press is taking a look at fall sports by putting the spotlight on high school teams as a first glance at the season, with more coverage to come on other schools. Expect to see allinclusive football coverage on Aug. 25.

This week in Princeton sports

• The boys’ golf team finished 14th with a 344 in the Princeton Invitational, Aug. 10. Princeton’s Robert Sameniego shot a 75.

This week in Wyoming sports

• Wyoming boys’ golf team beat Fenwick 337-338, Aug. 9. Wyoming’s Colin Fogel shot six over par 78 on Valleyview and Woodside at Weatherwax. The boys’ team also placed third with a 312 in the Batavia/Madeira Invitational at the Vineyard, Aug. 10. Wyoming’s Adam Crider medaled with a 75, and Sam

Meyers had a 78. • Wyoming girls’ golf team placed third with a 452 against Indian Hill’s 395, Taylor’s 423 and Cincinnati Country Day’s 509, Aug. 9. The girls also lost to Seton 172-222, Aug. 12.

This week in Mount Notre Dame sports

• The golf team beat Indian Hill 178-194, Aug. 12.

This week in CHCA sports

• The boys’ golf team placed fifth with a 365 in the MVC Players Championship at Miami Whitewater, Aug. 10.

This week in Moeller sports

• The boys’ golf team placed second with a 286 in the Westerville Central Invitational, Aug. 12. Moeller’s Andrew Dorn shot six under par 66 at The Lakes. The golf team also placed second with a 300 in the Anderson Invitational, Aug. 12. Moeller’s Mason Eckley shot a 72.

At first glance:

SOCCER iors in our defensive backfield so that’s the strongest part of our game right now,” Thomas said. “At this point we’re stronger defensively but we will be a very attack oriented team.” The team will be led by seniors Joe Panos, J.B. Heisey, Aaron Linn and Noah Gilbert. Sophomore Daniel Richtand is one of the team’s top technical players. He led Wyoming in scoring as a freshman in 2009 with 20 points. The first goal for the Cowboys will be winning a Cincinnati Hills League championship, which is something Thomas hasn’t accomplished in his six years at the helm. Wyoming was third in the CHL in 2009 with a 30-4 record and finished the season with a 7-6-4 record. Thomas said he team hopes to win the league and make it to at least the district finals in the tournament. “The league is very competitive,” Thomas said. “I think Mariemont should be

Luke Agricola is a returning Second-Team llGCL player for the Crusaders. the preseason favorite because they return the most starters and have a really strong attack. Finneytown is always strong and they play us well. Really, all the teams in the league are good and we have a good group of classy coaches. We get along well except for the 80 minutes we play each other.” Wyoming plays five Division I teams in nonconference games. Wyoming plays Princeton tough every year and faces the Vikings again. Wyoming also plays Lebanon, another good test for the Cowboys. Turpin is another strong team on the Wyoming schedule. “We play a very competitive schedule,” Thomas said. And it should be fun to watch Wyoming play that schedule, Thomas said. “Our formation will change based on who we play but we’re going to play very quickly and fans will see a possession-oriented team,” he said. “They will see an exciting brand of soccer.” Wyoming kicks off the season Aug. 24 against Roger Bacon.

Princeton soccer hopes looking up By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com

The Princeton High School women’s soccer team will seek to improve upon last year’ mark by welcoming back six starters for the 2010 campaign. Head coach Katie Isaacs believes the squad’s returning players will help the school improve upon last season’s 2-4-3 record “We will be competitive,” Isaacs said. “The upperclassmen have stepped up in their roles … as long as we grow into our own, we should be competitive and I am feeling positive about how this season will turn out.” One player expected to step up is Morgan Bullock. Bullock was Second-Team All-Greater Miami Conference last season with six goals and four assists. “She’s extremely passionate in terms of intensity on the field...it’s conta-

She just has the ability to pick everyone’s intensity up.” The junior will be expected to share offensive duties with senior Haleigh Thomas. Isaacs expects Bullock to rotate between midfielder and forward because the team has had trouble getting the ball to the junior. With Bullock playing at

Wyoming opens the season Aug. 23 at Princeton. midfield, she could create more opportunities for her teammates. “Morgan’s a playmaker, wherever she is on the field,” Isaacs said. On defense, the Vikings should get a boost from senior Andrea Perrin. Perrin, a captain this season, stopped 149 shots, while only allowing 33. “She’s like no other goalie I’ve worked or played with,” Isaacs said. Perrin’s leadership skills

should also be a factor this season, although it won’t be visible to fans watching from the bleachers. “She’s soft spoken, but she’s become a vocal leader,” Isaacs said. “When she speaks, the team knows they need to listen up immediately.” Helping Perrin on defense will be Claire Albertz, Heather Steineman, and Ali Smith. Steineman will move to the sweeper position while Albertz, who is a sophomore, will play outside defender. Albertz is excited to play at a high level since she already has a year of varsity experience under her belt. “She knows what’s required of her,” Isaacs said. “She’s really stepped up...I expect the same, if not more from her this season.” Princeton kicks off the 2010 season against Hamilton High School at Western Hills on Aug. 23.

St. Ursula golf looks strong for ’10

Defense leads way for MND volleyball

By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The Mount Notre Dame volleyball team graduated eight players from the 2009 team that finished second in the GGCL and closed with a record of 21-6, but the Cougars should be very competitive in the 2010 season. “We’ve got a lot of returning experience,” head coach Joe Burke said. “We have five starters back and some kids that were fighting for playing time at the end of the season and have really stepped up in the offseason, so we expect to build off of that.” Burke said the team is using last season’s regional finals loss as motivation to improve throughout the offseason and through this season. The team will be led by libero Kelsey Wolf, who is one of the top liberos in the state. Sophomore Michelle Strizak will be another standout for the Cougars. Kathleen Donnellon will be a strong outside hitter for MND and setter Janna Reilly will also be a key player. Burke, in his second year as head coach, said having five starters back and more experience on top of that is key, especially since everyone should be familiar with his style now. “I’ve been there for 12 years overall but during my first year as head coach (in 2009) there was a bit of a feeling-out process,” he said. “I didn’t change much, but the girls are very comfortable with the day-to-day operations now, and I look for us to build on our experience.” Burke said Ursuline is the league favorite until someone knocks them out but he thinks his team will be “very tough” as well. He said Lakota West and Lakota East will be two of the stronger teams in the city. “Our league is tough, it’s a fight every match,” he said. “That helps schools in the GGCL though because they play tournament-type games twice a week, and that’s why the GGCL does so well in the tournament.” Burke said this is one of the most motivated teams he’s seen and said that the team’s identity will be in its defense. “We’re going to be an incredibly scrappy defensive team,” he said. “Maybe one of the best we’ve had in that respect. We’ll be very diverse on offense and have good options at every position. If we keep progressing our defense should frustrate teams.” Burke said he thinks the sky is the limit for this group but they are more focused on day-to-day improvements and the start of the practice Aug. 9. “I can’t tell you how I excited I am to start the season,” he said. “With the girls we have and the motivation and talent level they have, I’m excited to get back in the gym and get back to it.” Mount Notre Dame opens the regular season on Aug. 28 with matches against Centerville and Chaminade Julienne.

TONY MEALE/STAFF

Mount Notre Dame sophomore libero Kelsey Wolf serves against Seton High School last season. Wolf will be one of the standouts in the 2010 season.

The St. Ursula Academy golf team was one of the best Division I teams in the state in 2009 and not much will change this fall. “I think we should be good,” head coach Mark Hannahan said. “We return three of the girls who played in the state tournament for us last year so we have some good, experienced players.” Leading the way for the Bulldogs is senior Katie Wooliver (Anderson Township), who had a 39.33 average in 2009. Ellen Reinhold (Loveland) is another senior standout who averaged a 40.9 in 2009. Junior Madeline Meiners (Evendale) is the third returning state player,

as the junior averaged a 41 in 2009. The varsity team returns two more strong players in senior Emily Nimrock (Loveland) and junior Chloe Williams (Indian Hill). “They have the potential to be one of the best teams St. Ursula has ever had,” Hannahan said. “All five of those girls are very competitive and talented. All the girls have worked hard in the offseason and played in a lot of tournaments so there’s no reason to doubt that they can be just as good as the team last year.” The Bulldogs finished third in the state in 2009, one stroke behind secondplace finisher Lakota West. Mason was the 2009 state champion. “Both of those teams

return a lot of the players who helped them accomplish those feats,” Hannahan said. “I know Ursuline will be strong this year and that Sycamore has a very good team as well.” He said the key for the Bulldogs would be in the mental part of the game. “All of these girls have good golf swings and have worked hard on their games for many years. They are all capable of shooting in the mid-to-low 70s on any course on any given day so the focus and mental tough-

ness is what’s important,” Hannahan said. Hannahan also said he’s looking forward to the start of the 2010 golf season. “We have a great group of girls who get along and have fun together. It’s an honor and a pleasure to coach them,” he said. “They play good golf but also know how to relax and have fun, because it is a game after all. It’s a great group of parents as well and I’m very excited and looking forward to the start of the season eagerly.”

Taxes reason Ohio economy is struggling Ohio’s economy is in terrible shape. Whether you look at unemployment (10.5 percent – 43rd), or state GDP per capita ($35,381 – 33rd), our position in absolute terms and relative to other states is bad and getting worse. The reality of these statistics is that the citizens of Ohio are hurting. While going door-to-door, I’ve met with the long-term unemployed who are barely scraping by, and I’ve met with parents whose children moved out of state after college to seek jobs. From 1990 to 2000, 720,200 jobs were created in Ohio. From 2000 to 2009, 544,100 were destroyed. This means that only 176,100 private sector jobs were created over a 19-year period – barely 9,000 per year in a state of more than 11 million people. The unfortunate truth is that it doesn’t have to be this way. Ohio has tremendous built-in advantages as a state. We have world-class universities, a welleducated workforce, robust rail, highway, air and water transportation, and a legacy of innova-

tion that is the envy of the country. Entrepreneurs like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers were a huge part of what made Ohio Mike Wilson great. Today in however, Community Ohio, Edison and the Press guest Wright Brothers columnist would be punished for their success with excessive taxation and burdensome regulation. We see the proof of this in the news when venerable Ohio companies like NCR (founded in Dayton in 1884) and U.S. Playing Card (founded in Cincinnati in 1867) leave for other states and take their jobs with them. We didn’t lose these jobs to overseas competition. We lost them to Georgia and Kentucky. In the case of U.S. Playing Card, they moved their headquarters only about 15 miles across the river – just barely enough to escape the suffocating anti-business atmosphere of Ohio.

You have made it your position to be with and take care of your own progeny instead of sending them off to another person or persons to be guided and taught the complexities of life. I am quite sure that you have learned quickly that what you are doing is, to some people, using your skills and intellect to no purpose.

That, no one else can do.” You have, possibly, seen the value in passing up the huge home, the three-car garage with its attendant big cars, the many and useless items that everyone else possesses just to be noticed; in doing so, your children are truly blessed. Again, thank you. Rita M. Robertson Macar Drive, Sharonville

Gov. Strickland offered NCR tax breaks totaling $31.1 million in an effort to keep them in Ohio. While that unfortunately wasn’t enough, what it shows is a recognition that the tax climate in Ohio matters and it is so out of whack that a $30 million incentive is insufficient to keep a company here. In the 2011-12 Ohio budget, we are faced with an estimated shortfall as high as $8 billion. We are in this situation because our political class has failed. During the good times, we spent the windfall in tax revenues. When tax revenues declined in the current recession, the Strickland administration and House Democrats led the charge to increase spending by 9.3 percent in fiscal years 2009-2010. The less we had, the more they wanted to spend. This reckless spending was financed mainly though one-time funds including federal “stimulus,” debt restructuring and drawing on the state’s rainy day fund. The remainder came from $1.2 billion in additional fees and a

$900 million tax increase passed in December that was retroactive to the beginning of the year – thus violating the cardinal rule of not raising taxes in a recession In the next budget, we need to take steps to restore Ohio’s competitiveness, and we need to get government off the backs of our job creators – small businesses. To do so, government needs to tighten its belt – something they have utterly failed to do so far. In 2009, the average state employee made more than the average private sector employee in 87 of Ohio’s 88 counties and that’s before accounting for the lavish benefits and gold-plated pensions received by state workers. The failure of our leaders in Columbus have driven jobs out of our state and created the seventh highest state and local tax burden in the country. It has made Ohioans poorer. Using budget gimmicks to avoid taking responsibility instead of fixing the problem is the same old politics that everyone is tired of. We need new leaders willing to take on the entrenched interests and balance

VOICES FROM THE WEB Help or step aside Visitors to Cincinnati.com/ Glendale posted these comments to a story about a property owner whose request to demolish rental property was denied by Glendale’s Planning and Historic Preservation Committee: “I think if the city of Glendale wants the home to stay, they need to either buy the house and make the repairs themselves or donate the money and services to make the repairs.

Trees, shrubs available from park district The Hamilton County Park District is accepting orders for the 2010 Native Tree Sale. A wide variety of trees and shrubs are available, just in time for fall planting season. The deadline is Sept. 10 and the plant pick up date is Sept. 18. The trees and shrubs sold are locally grown from regionally collected seed. To aid with root establishment,

the trees are raised in Rootmaker root pruning plastic containers. Planting trees and shrubs in the fall allows time for them to establish a healthy root system before the winter season. Supplies are limited and tree availability is subject to change. Trees and shrubs are $25 each. Pick up locations are at Farbach Werner Nature Preserve in Colerain Township, Sharon Woods in

Sharonville and Woodland Mound in Anderson Township. While great efforts are made to ensure good health for the plants, the Hamilton County Park District cannot guarantee the survival of the plants once they are sold. For more information or to order online, please visit GreatParks.org. For mail order, please send a completed form and payment to:

Native Tree Sale, Hamilton County Park District, 10245 Winton Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45231. Make checks payable to the Hamilton County Park District. Charge orders can be faxed to 513923-3926. Please call Nature's Niche for more information at 513-9233665.

Nor is it designed to form us in ed for years to helping the poor healthy ways. It has become more and sick, marches them into the coarse, violent and self-centered. woods and shoots them down. Do Our civilization is losing its civili- we experience shock or revulsion?

Or are we inured to life’s pitiless current? There seems to be a constant dumbing down of the finer things of life. Our country, formerly in the first place in the world in the percentage of those gaining college degrees, has now fallen to 12th place over the last 30 years. “Spend more money and we’ll be back as No. 1,” we think. Really? Spending more money accomplishes everything? Does spending money create civility? Right now we’re practicing denial. Who wants to hear that the sky is falling, that drugs are spreading, and that the food we thought was good for us isn’t? We don’t want to hear it. So, we live as though it isn’t true. Mental health experts urge us to be more proactive. Sometimes we must learn how to swim

upstream to reroute the current of life that is diminishing us. We have so many good things to protect, preserve and enjoy – the people we love and who love us; more opportunities than we realize; good books, music, art and athletics to uplift and inspire; and a spirituality that brings inner peace. In the fading days of the Roman Empire the leaders of the people thought that “bread and circuses” were the political solution. They would divert the common people from realizing the disintegration of their country. Hopefully, we’re not ready for our fading days yet. It’s time to use the adult and insightful minds we’ve been given to keep from losing all our youthful dreams. G.K. Chesterton wrote: “There is a kind of work which anyone

can do, but from which many people shrink, generally because it is very hard work, and sometimes because they fear it will lead them where they do not wish to go. It is called thinking.” It is hard to fight a current. Sometimes we talk a good game but really don’t want to expend the effort to go where our hearts and minds tell us we must go. Chesterton’s quote calls us to think. See what’s happening to us. Then adopt the motto of the City of Blue Ash that has worked so well: “Aspire! Achieve! Advance!” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Contact him at columns@community press.com or P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

Don’t skip the Skype when traveling overseas Traveling overseas can be quite expensive, especially when you consider the exchange rate with the U.S. dollar. So I thought I’d share some of the best ways I found to get cash in the local currency, as well as to make calls back to the U.S. without breaking the bank. It used to be the best way to get cash while overseas was to go to a local ATM and get the local currency. That gives you the best currency exchange rate and it’s less expensive than going to a money exchange store.

B u t now many l o c a l b a n k s h a v e started charging a 3 percent converHoward Ain sion fee to Hey Howard! use a foreign ATM, just as happens with most credit cards when you use them outside the country. But there’s a way you can avoid all these conversion fees. All it takes a little planning. Institutions like Union Savings Bank offer an ATM card but don’t

charge any fees at all. Officials there tell me you may have to pay a fee imposed by the ATM you use, but Union Savings won’t charge anything. So, allow a few days to set up a checking account at a conversion-free bank and get an ATM card there before your trip. Most credit cards also charge a conversion fee ranging from 2.7 percent to 3 percent, depending on the card you use. However, cards issued by Capital One don’t charge any conversion fee at all. I got such a card to for the express purpose of using it

outside the U.S. Often when calling back to the U.S. you have to pay what can amount to expensive international calling charges. But, I found if you have access to WiFi while on vacation, you can save a bundle. I used my iPod Touch, which is not a phone, and downloaded Skype, which most people use to carry on conversations using computers. Skype also allows you to call a landline phone and talk using your computer. So, using my iPod Touch, which is small enough to put in my pocket, I walked

around, found local places advertising free WiFi, and made my calls to the telephones back home. The only thing I needed to get before I left the U.S. was a set of earbuds that included a microphone in the cord. Skype has a 30-day free trial period which both my brother Stewart and I used when we went outside the U.S. Stewart found Skype to be very good, with a clear connection, but only when he had a strong enough WiFi signal. I also found Skype worked perfectly and was

simply amazed at the clarity of the calls. Going over your free trial period cost less than $7 a month, but it’s well worth it when you compare it with the cost of an international cell phone calling plan. Bottom line, a little planning can save you a lot if you’re considering travel outside the U.S. Howard Ain answers consumer complaints weekdays on WKRC-TV Local 12.

Favorite recipes are shared among friends, readers Today and next week I’m sharing some favorite recipes – the ones that readers request throughout the year. If you have a favorite dish that everyone raves about, I’d love for you to share it. Try the frozen fruit cocktail dessert or sorbet for a cool ending to the recordbreaking hot days we’ve been having.

Lela Groene’s heirloom frozen fruit cocktail dessert

“This was a favorite at holidays and other special meals,” Lela wrote. Make sure you use evaporated, not sweetened condensed milk, for this dessert. 3 oz. cream cheese, softened 2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tables p o o n maraschino cherry juice (from jar) 2 ⁄3 cup evaporatRita ed 1milk 6 Heikenfeld l a r g e Rita’s kitchen m a r s h mallows 16-oz. can fruit cocktail, undrained 1 ⁄4 cup chopped maraschino cherries. Mix together cheese and juices, and let stand. In a saucepan, combine milk and marshmallows. Stir over medium heat until marshmallows melt. Remove from heat. Stir in cream cheese mixture. Mix in fruit cocktail and cherries. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper muffin cups. Spoon mixture evenly into muffin cups. Freeze until

firm. Remove from tin, still in paper muffin cups, and serve frozen. They will thaw just a little on the serving plate.

Jayne Homsher’s bleu cheese coleslaw

Madeira resident Jayne Homsher shares her version. Feel free to add more bleu cheese if you like. 1

1 ⁄2 lbs. green cabbage, shredded 2 carrots, peeled and shredded 1 ⁄4 cup sweet onion, finely chopped 1 ⁄3 cup cider vinegar 3 tablespoons sugar 1 ⁄3 cup mayonnaise 1 ⁄3 cup sour cream 1 ⁄3 cup crumbled bleu cheese Salt and pepper to taste Combine cabbage, carrots and onion. Heat cider vinegar and sugar to boil.

Toss with vegetables and let sit 15 minutes. Drain the vegetables well and combine with remaining ingredients. Prepare at least two hours ahead or overnight so flavors can mingle.

Helen Sarky’s Lebanese vegetarian green bean stew

Anderson Township reader Helen Sarky sent me this recipe. These beans are always served in some fashion at the famous Lebanese festival held at St. Anthony’s of Padua 1 pound fresh or frozen green beans, cut into 2-inch lengths 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 ⁄2 cup sliced thinly onions 1 tablespoon minced garlic (opt.) 1 ⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or to taste

Salt and pepper to taste 2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint 11⁄2 cups diced tomatoes 1 cup water or chicken stock 1 tablespoon lemon juice Heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add onions and sauté until caramelized (three minutes); add garlic and sauté another two minutes. Stir in cinnamon, salt, pepper and mint and keep stirring. Add tomatoes, water and lemon juice and keep stirring. Add beans and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover pan and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Serve over a bed of cooked rice.

Five-minute fruit sorbet

Any canned fruit works well. Fruit cocktail and apricot are favorites at my house.

1 can, 16 oz. or so, fruit in heavy syrup 1 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon vanilla (opt.) Place unopened can in freezer for at least 12 hours or until frozen. Submerge unopened can in hot water for a minute to loosen edges. Transfer contents to food processor or blender in batches if necessary, cutting into several chunks. Process or blend until smooth, about half a minute. Add lemon juice and blend. Scoop into balls and serve right away or refreeze up to eight hours.

100’s Lined up Yesterday at the Hilton Hotel Cincinnati Airport for the Vintage Guitar Show. By Mort Enright STAFF WRITER TheInternationalVintageGuitarCollectorsAssociation will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any and all guitars. Those that do bring in their guitars will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their items looked at with an expert set of eyes. With the help of these IVGCA members, offers will be made to those that have vintage and modern guitars. Highest prices are paid for those made before 1970. All guitars will be examined and purchased including vintage guitars, acoustic guitars, banjos, any and all other types of musical instruments. Those that decide to sell their items will be paid on the spot. If you are like a lot of people you might have an old Vintage Guitar lying around. If you have ever wondered what it’s worth, now might be your chance to find out and even sell it, if you choose. Vintage guitars could be worth a lot according to the International Vintage Guitar Collectors Association also known as IVGCA. Collectors will pay a fortune for Vintage Guitars, Banjos, Acoustic Guitars and even Drum Sets for their collections. If they are rare enough, one could be worth over $100,000 according to David Mcintosh, Vintage Guitar Collector and IVGCA member. One 1960 Gibson Les Paul went for $100,000 to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable guitars are stashed away in attics, closets, basements, or in a garage around the country. The IVGCA and its collectors have organized a traveling event in search of all types of Vintage Guitars and Instruments. “Even common guitars can be worth a significant amount due to high collector demands,” says Mcintosh. The rarest guitars these collectors are looking for include: Martin, Gibson, Gretsch and Rickenbacker. These guitars always bring big premiums according to the IVGCA. While the IVGCA’s specialty is guitars, they are also examining other instruments, including drum sets, banjos, flutes, clarinets, etc. The IVGCA says “You never really know what you have until your item is evaluated by experts. Whatever kind of instrument you may have, bring it in to our experts. Think about it. You could walk away $100,000 richer!” So, whether you have one instrument you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If you’re lucky, you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way, there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun.

Here’s How It Works: instruments there is no limit to the amount of items you can bring.

Brieabi Productions, Cincinnati’s newest community theater organization, announces their second production – “Rumors” by Neil Simon. In “Rumors,” several affluent couples gather in the posh suburban residence of Charley and Myra Brock for a dinner party celebrating their 10th anniversary. When the guests arrive, they discover there are no servants, the hostess is missing, and the host, the deputy mayor of New York City, has shot himself through the earlobe. Comic complications arise when, given everyone’s upper-class status, they decide they need to do everything possible to conceal the evening’s events from the local police and the media. Coupled for this production are local actors Eric Day and Anne Marie Penick as Ken and Chris Gorman; Chuck Ingram and Arlene Borock as Lenny and Clair Ganz; Robert Weidle and Miranda Knight-Sheikh as Ernie and Cookie Cusak; Dan Docherty and Elizabeth Chinn Molloy as Glenn and Cassie Cooper.

Restorations on Hayner House porch begin With failing log gutters and its large fluted ionic column bases rotted to mush, the Hayner House in the Heritage Village Museum at Sharon Woods needed a facelift much more than any desperate housewife. Luckily, thanks to a grant, the Hayner House

will be getting just that. The full restoration will cost $56,000 and is financially assisted by the Ohio Valley Foundation, Fifth Third Bank, Agent who provided a $25,000 grant. “$56,000 for the complete restoration of the Hayner house, for the roof, the porch and all of the gutters.

imminent fixes were to the porch,” said Dorothy Moenich, the museum’s executive assistant. These restorations will preserve the beautiful Greek Revival columns and the porch, which is often used by photographers as a backdrop as well as for picturesque weddings. Bruce Stewart, part owner of Architectural Reclamation, said the restoration process involves removing the original and rotted log gutters and replacing them with new metal ones that retain the lines of the original and cornice. They want to make the new gutters look as original as possible while remaining practical, according to Stewart. While working on the Hayner House, Stewart and his crew discovered that the original poplar and pine gutters were still on the house, hidden under the newer layer of metal linings and numerous patches. Discoveries like these are what the work of Architectural Reclamation is all about. For them, restoring historic homes is a mission and very important for future generations. “It’s about history, and understanding how life was lived. A well-restored building is a touchstone for genera-

Workers have begun restoring the Hayner House in Heritage Willage in Sharon Woods. The porch is considered the most important part of the restoration.

In the past, during the 1960s and 1970s, buildings like the Hayner House were readily cared for by historical societies. But now, there is little money available for their care and museums such as the Heritage Village Museum are becoming distressed. “The money is drying up across the strata,” Stewart said. “You must be able to maintain the buildings so that they last longer. What is going to happen to our history?”

The Heritage Village Museum is a living history museum depicting life in Southwestern Ohio throughout the 19th Century. Homes, outbuildings and equipment on the museum grounds were moved here from other locations in southwest Ohio to be preserved and aid in telling the story of our recent past. Interpreters at the museum provide the facts and stories that bring the Village, and history, to life.
