BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Wyoming continues to treat trees for EAB By Kelly McBride

kmcbride@communitypress.com

Wyoming continues to swat at a problem that has been bugging the city for more than four years. Assistant Public Works Director Mike Lippert updated elected officials during City Council’s Aug 19 meeting. “Emerald ash borer is near, or at peak pressure, in the Wyoming area,” Lippert said in his report. The city has taken a varied approach to the problem, with the treatment of some trees, and the removal of others. “Wyoming has removed 30 ash trees so far in 2013,” Lippert reported. “During the last five years, we have averaged 10-15, so this is a little more. “However, because of last year’s drought, we have removed more trees than usual for all species.

“In 2013, we have removed a total of 150 trees so far,” he said, “so, we cannot say whether EAB was the primary cause of death in all cases. The city has spent $24,595 of the $29,000 that was budgeted in 2013. Lippert said this is in line with the past few years. Of that amount, $9,895 was for soil injection of 500 trees with imidacloprid. The rest was spent for new trees and tree removal costs. Lippert proposed a continuation of the EAB plan, which includes annual soil injections for the healthy, small street ash trees, with alternate year treatment for the city’s 15-20 large ash street trees. He noted that 2014 will be the final year of the city’s participation in the Valent Biosciences study, which included free Safari treatment for 20 park trees.

‘I Will’ fight brain cancer

New law aims to slow head trauma in sports By Mark D. Motz mmotz@communitypress.com

Arguably the best player on the field, wasn’t. A week into contact drills during preseason football practices at New Richmond High School, a four-year starter and team leader had participated for part of only one practice. Not because of bad grades. Not for disciplinary reasons. Not even because he didn’t feel up to playing. Rather, he’d been held out to comply with the law. A new Ohio requirement – signed into law in December of 2012 and enacted in April of this year – prevents players with concussions from returning to action too soon.

Those who knew William Cox II remember a student who declared “I will” fight the brain cancer that ultimately took his life July 2, just two months after graduating from Princeton High School. Now they are saying “we will” keep his memory alive, raising awareness and funds for the research of Diffuse

This particular player took a blow to the head on the first day of practice and had yet to receive medical clearance to play. (The Community Press is not naming the student-athlete for privacy reasons; he has since been cleared to play.) “You can’t be too careful,” first-year Lions head coach Josh Stratton said. “He had his bell rung, for sure. But with this new law in Ohio, anything that even looks like a concussion has to be taken off the field, tested and cleared. “If a player is dehydrated and gets a headache from that and tells a coach or a trainer, we have to have them checked.

Occasionally he’d vomit, which was unusual for him, Cox, a physician, said. “I told him he was eating too much McDonald’s,” he kidded. But when Will confided in his dad that he was having trouble with his balance and other problems, the elder Cox took him for medical testing. An MRI found a tumor on his brain stem. It was DIPG. Brain cancer is the second most prevalent cancer in children. Fewer than 10 percent of patients live longer than 18 months after diagnosis, according to The Cure

Starts Now Foundation. “It’s very scary and we don’t have good cures,” Cox said, adding that until 2005, the cancer didn’t even have a name. It was about that time, in early 2012, that his coaches at Princeton began to notice that Will was lethargic. “(Basketball coach) Mike Anderson had mentioned that Will isn’t looking like he used to,” athletic director Gary Croley said. “It was odd, because he was a dominant player.” Then, one day, he walked off the court. He wasn’t going to play anymore, he said. He quit. “That was a shocker for a kid to get this far, when it counts so close to

college,” Croley said. “This isn’t the time you pull the plug.” He hadn’t been diagnosed yet, but he knew something was wrong. “Those were the early signs,” Croley said. A few months later, Dr. Cox told the Princeton coaches that his son had DIPG. “That’s when we started walking down this rough road of trying to keep his spirits up,” Croley said. Cox took his son to Chicago for treatment, where Will fought a valiant fight. At home, his friends visited him at his Evendale home, to cheer him up and keep him in the Viking loop. Coach Anderson said Princeton basketball players, from grades seven through varsity, will wear uniforms that include a tribute to Will this year.

A Chancel encounter leaves songs in the heart A musical weekend began on a shaky note, but you can always depend on the Presbyterian Church of Wyoming Chancel Choir not to disappoint. On a dismal Saturday afternoon I had arrived to hear them perform outdoors for a Toys For Tots fundraiser on the other side of town. Imagine my surprise to find director of music William Seale and several choir members talking in the parking lot. Evelyn Was I late? Perkins Had I not COMMUNITY gotten the PRESS COLUMNIST time right? Alas, the program had been cancelled due to rain, but it wasn’t a total loss. Bill, along with those present, lifted their marvelous voices in harmony and serenaded me right there in the parking lot. It was wonderful! Thanks to the invitation of Bill and Linda Crank, director of church communications, the next day I attended one of their Valley Concert Series recitals. The Chanticleer String Quartet with guest pianist, Gordon Back, rendered a lovely selection of chamber music perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Sisters Erika Klemperer and Caroline KlempererGreen played the violins. Jennifer Smith played the viola. Barbara Gottling, a Wyoming Presbyterian member, was honored for her patronage of the arts, her work in the church and the gift of her daughter, Elizabeth Got-

tling Mendoza who played the cello. Elizabeth introduced Mendelssohn’s “String Quartet in D Major, Op. 44, No 1,” Molto Allegro vivace, saying they would begin the program with a bang and from the very first note, we understood what she meant. Next Elizabeth said that since we were now awake, we would listen to George Gershwin’s “Prelude #2” (arranged by M. Naughtin), originally written for the piano. She told us that Gershwin was shy. When invited to parties, he would find a piano and play just so he wouldn’t have to talk to people. Apparently they didn’t want to disturb the genius and left him alone. For musical contrast, the “String Quartet #4 Allegro Pizzicato” by Bartok was next. Jennifer used the “pick” method of plucking the string against the face board of the viola. Gordon and Erika (married 37 years), performed “Aus der Heimat #2" for violin and piano by Smetana. The first selection was in turn stirring, haunting and lively. The acoustics in the church’s Great Room made it sound rather like an entire orchestra. During selections from Sa-

tie’s “Gnossiennes” for piano solo I was reminded of swinging in a hammock many years ago in

my godfather’s back yard, watching the clouds and eating tomatoes from his garden.

The beautiful “Piano Quintet in A Major, Op. 81, Allegro,” ma non tanto by Dvorak was played by the four stings and the piano. Elizabeth’s brief tango put us in the mood for “Libertango by Piazzolla” (arranged by W. McDaniel). Caroline shared Astor Piazzolla’s personal history from his birth in Argentina, relocation to Greenwich Village and then back to Buenos Aires. She had us imagine a dim, smoky room, a macho male and a beautiful female dancing to

sensuous African/Spanish-rooted music. Bringing the beat to life, Gordon made you absolutely believe you were in that room.

Barking up the right tree at Sharon Woods Sharon Woods will usher out the summer with programs that sneak in a bit of learning. The search for fossils will bring hikers to Sharon Creek on Saturday, Aug. 31, where a naturalist will explain who lived in Sharon Woods in the ancient times of the Ordovician Sea. Fossils that are discovered in the creek will be returned at the end of the program. The program begins at 2 p.m. As fall approaches, a naturalist will lead visitors through Sharon Woods on Sunday, Sept. 1, to identify trees by their

bark. Field guides will be used to introduce methods of identification, and visitors will learn facts about local tree species. The program begins at 1 p.m. Both events are free and gather at the Sharon Center. A valid Great Parks of Hamilton County motor vehicle permit is required to enter the parks. The permit costs $3 for a day, or $10 for an annual sticker. Other programs are listed on the Great Parks website, www.greatparks.org, or by calling 521-7275.

that kind of scenario, but keeping kids safe is a lot more important than sending them out there if they’re injured or potentially injured.” The legislation known as House Bill 143 “implements statewide standards (for) when a young athlete demonstrates the signs or symptoms of a concussion or traumatic brain injury,” said state Rep. Michael Stinziano (D-Columbus), one of the bill’s co-authors. “The legislation also prohibits a school authority from allowing a student to practice for or compete in interscholastic athletics until the student has submitted a signed form stating that the student and the student's parent or other guardian has received a concussion and head injury information sheet created by the (Ohio) Department of Health.” Such precautions are a

brain injuries. It affects you long term. The idea is to limit that. “You can’t play (football) without contact. If you play this game, you’re going to get your head dinged. It’s going to happen. What we’re trying to do is to limit the damage that’s done.” Dr. Edward Marches-

chi leads The Christ Hospital sports medicine concussion management program and supports the new state law. “I think the state law is a necessary step to ensure that people involved in sports are being educated and that our youth athletes are being protected from suffering from a potentially catastrophic injury when the brain is traumatized from a concussion,” he said. “Concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury, but there is nothing ‘mild' about it.” Ask Loveland parent Scott Schlesner, whose son Cole took a line drive to the head in a summerleague baseball game four years ago, causing traumatic brain injury. “It’s really encouraging that there is a greater sense of awareness in society about the dangers of head injury,” Schlesner said. “Unlike a lot of other injuries, head injury is the one thing that nobody really knows the longterm ramifications, how they may affect you, down the road. UC trainer Bob Mangine, who sees patients of all ages through Novacare in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, agreed.

“If you tear an ACL, you can fix it and it doesn’t affect your memory, give you dementia or depress you. When you start to mess with the brain, there’s a lot of long term implications,” he said. “There’s a lot more knowledge to what happens to their brains later in life,” Anderson High School trainer April Nierman said. “A lot of kids that have gotten their bell rung have sat out a period of time. There’s a progression to come back. It’s a period of four to five days to get them to come back after their symptoms are gone.” The new law broadens the protection by requiring standards for those participating in youth sports organizations not affiliated with the Ohio High School Athletic Association. “Ultimately, House Bill 143 sets a uniformed standard for concussion treatment in sports activities throughout the entire state, and we will be reducing the risk of sporadic enforcement that existed previously,” Stinziano said. Reporters Kurt Backscheider, Jeanne Houck, Kelly McBride and Scott Springer contributed.

Physical therapist Liz Reis of Oxford Physical Therapy, left, examines a patient. THANKS TO OXFORD PHYSICAL THERAPY

Lower-body injuries top list among youth sports By Tom Skeen tskeen@communitypress.com

HAMILTON COUNTY —

While concussions may get the most attention when it comes to injuries, they account for just 14 percent of all youth sports injuries (age 19 and under) according to a study done by USA Today. The study analyzed youth sports injuries in 2011 and 2012 and determined the three most common sports injuries are sprains/strains, fractures and contusions. When being more specific, Oxford Physical Therapy’s Liz Reis said injuries to the ankle, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the shoulder’s are the most common injuries she sees as a physical therapist among high school athletes. In today’s world of expensive shoes, the argument has come about whether or not a shoe can cause an injury. The perception is you see more ACL tears today than you did 10-20 years ago when shoes weren’t as advanced, but Reis believes there are a variety of factors that play into any injury. “… There is a push for a more natural shoe,” she said. “From a physical therapist’s perspective, if your foot mechanics are off, then it’s going to work up the chain and cause problems. … There is no rhyme or reason as to when these people are developing these injuries, but in theory, most people need a good, supportive shoe.” Reis has seen an increase in Iliotibial Band Syndrome, or more commonly known as the ITSB, in high school athletes. Also known as “Runners Knee,” according to runnersworld.com it occurs when the IT band, a ligament that runs down the

outside of the thigh from the hip to the shin, is tight or inflamed. The problem with the injury is it can be hidden with the use of anti-inflammatories and many athletes get back to their respective sport before the injury is fully healed. “The injury is not so much worrisome, but it can be difficult to rehab,” Reis said. “The (IT band) crosses the knee, so every time we bend our knee the band actually slips under the bone and it’s just a repetitive injury. People just need to give it time to heal, rest and strengthen the other muscles.” One trend Reis has seen lately is an increase in hamstring strains in younger athletes. The reason is factually unknown, but Reis has her opinion. “I think it goes along with people gaining an understanding of stretching and warming up,” she said. “Some kids as they are going through growth spurts, their bones are elongating and the muscles are being forced to stretch out at the same time. So the kids are trying to stretch and using these muscles when they are working out, so they start to get some strain in the muscle. I think that is where a lot of these hamstring strains are coming in as they go through these growth spurts.” ACL tears, ITSB and hamstring problems are just three of hundreds of injuries that occur each high school sports season, but the prevention is all the same: Rest, adding prevention and strengthening exercises and proper technique top the list of way to prevent injuries. “These statistics don’t have to be part of the game if we take some simple precautions,” Kate Carr of Safe Kids Worldwide said as part of the USA Today study.

In addition, DyKnow staff discussed new developments and gained insights from attendees, many of whom use the software on a daily basis. MND has utilized Tablet PCs as a tool for five years; the coming year will be the fourth for comprehensive use by students and

faculty. “Thanks to our Tablet PC program, our students benefit from cutting-edge, tech-active academic experiences that prepare them for their college and work life. MND classrooms have also become nearly paperless, which increases efficiency and reduces waste,” said Karen Day, dean of academic development. “We’re proud to be a leader in educational technology and appreciate the opportunity to share resources and insights to improve student experiences across the region.”

Wyoming boys golf plays, putts as a pack By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com

WYOMING — They carry horseshoe-logo bags and wield dangerous irons on the green planes of Maketewah and Wyoming. They are the “Crider Gang.” Rod Crider’s Wyoming boys golf team has outdriven, outchipped, outputted and outclassed their early competition on the pre-fall fairways. “They’re playing well,” Crider said. “We’re just trying to figure out a way to keep them going for about eight more weeks.” Having lost just one senior from last season, Max Wiethe, Crider has six of his top seven back. He’s also added freshman Cooper Hausfeld to the varsity. On any given day, a new Cowboy can lead the Pendery Avenue Pack. For example, in the Mariemont Invitational, Wyoming won with sophomore Sam Marty shooting 76. Just behind him were seniors Henry Moore and Chris Betagole at 77 and 78. Coach Crider grins with confidence speaking of the team’s parity and consistency. “Sam’s pretty good about giving deference to the seniors,” Crider said. “Chris (Betagole) and Henry (Moore) are our two senior co-captains. They tend to lead the charge for us. Sam does a real good job of pulling his weight too.”

In early standings, five of the top six Cincinnati Hills League golfers were Cowboys with Moore, Marty, Betagole, Hausfeld and Stephen Cholvat at the top. Jack Brown, John Hughes and Michael Montgomery round out the Wyoming eight. “Our top five are all within about three shots of each other,” Crider said. “It’s been a pretty good thing. Those bottom three or four guys are in a constant competition for who gets to play. Competition makes every body better. They have to qualify every week and every match.” The team does feature traditional CHL multi-sport athletes as Hughes

plays lacrosse and Montgomery swings the tennis racquet in spring. Henry Moore, an accomplished pitcher, took the summer off to work and hit greens. “We had a couple kids that historically play baseball throughout the summer choose not to play baseball,” Crider said. “Sam Marty fits that same description. I’m excited they were working on golf all summer.” Headquarters for the Crider Gang is Wyoming Golf Club, not far from the high school. It’s picturesque plot of grass where the Cowboys calmly wait for opponents with their weapons drawn on the putting green. “This is very much a home field advantage for us,” Crider said. “All of the kids that play on varsity get a lot of reps on this course and they know it pretty well. It’s definitely home turf that we want to defend.” With so many quality golfers back and a deceptively dangerous freshman, Wyoming is the odds-on favorite to win the league. However, Crider cautions against engraving the CHL trophy too early. “Mariemont’s always a threat because Will Grimmer’s always got the potential to go out and go real low,” Crider said. “They are competitive on days when they’re next three guys play well.” Wyoming is trying to pull off back-toback CHL titles as they did in the fall seasons of 2006 and 2007.

SHARONVILLE — The Princeton High School water polo program is in deep water, literally and figuratively, as the new season begins. Head coach Chad Packer’s boys team went 22-11 last season, placing fifth in the regional. That’s the good news, the program’s winning tradition. The bad news is only 12 players came out for the team in 2013. Depth pardon the pool pun - will be a challenge for the Vikings. “On a team of 12, we’ve got four guys who have never played,” Packer said. “That means your first sub off the bench has some experience, but the second one and after, they’ve never played the game. We have to get them in playing shape. “We need swimming endurance. We need to train to play 28 minutes.” Which is not to say 2013 will be a year of gloom and doom. Packer returns three starters, including senior drivers D.J. Svensson and Jake Mazzone. Junior keeper William Chaney also returns. Senior Dustin Dykes follows in the footsteps of his class of 2013 brother Dylan, serving as a team captain and filling the pivotal two-meter offensive post. Sophomore Riley Hinkley transferred from Milford and brings some experience, as does junior Allen Mott. “They are very balanced,” Packer said. “We don’t have that one player the other team knows if they shut him down, they’re going to win.” Packer added his team has heart. “It’s easy to play on a team with a lot of guys,” he said. “It’s easy to play on a winner. It’s easy to be part of success. “It takes something special to be part of a team where you don’t have a lot of guys, where winning and success are not a guarantee. These guys have that something special, because nothing for them is a guarantee except this season is going to be a lot of work.” Princeton opened the regular season in the Milford Invitational Aug. 24 and 25 (after Press deadlines) and plays in the Mason Invitational Aug. 30 and 31. On the girls side, head coach Jaclyn Tameris Jones enters her fifth season as head coach. Last year her squad went 9-33. The Viking girls host the Princeton Invitational Aug. 31.

Experience key for pool-bound St. X water polo By Tom Skeen tskeen@communitypress.com

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — At a school with an unbelievable swimming tradition, one would think that would translate to success for the water polo program. That hasn’t been the case in the first two years at St. Xavier High School, but coach Mike Roberts believes that trend may have changed in the program’s third year of existence. Grant House headlines a group of freshmen whom Roberts expects to make an immediate impact. According to Roberts, House has shattered the record books for the Cincinnati Marlins swim team and is one of very few accomplished swimmers to participate in water polo. “The first season we had a lot of seniors come out so we had a bunch of people who had never played before, which was great because we had a lot of mature bodies,” Roberts said. “It was the same thing

last year. This year we have about a dozen freshmen with a lot of promise.” House, along with senior captain Jake Westerkamp and goalie Matt Doyle, has helped the Bombers to a 3-1 start in 2013. Roberts’ squad took down Worthington Kilbourne, Sylvania and Napoleon, but lost to St. Charles High School at the 2013 Sprint-Off Classic at Napoleon High

School Aug. 16-17. Experience has a lot to do with the early success, and that is just what Westerkamp brings to the pool. “He’s smart,” Roberts said of his captain. “Water polo is a game that requires some strength, some athleticism, but maybe most of all, it requires some smarts. Knowing when to take advan-

tage of opportunities, having some guile and having played three years, (Westerkamp) has all that.” After going 4-15 in 2011 in the program’s first year of existence, the Bombers were over .500 and made a run in the Ohio south regional tournament last season. With more experience in 2013, Roberts likes how his team is coming together. “This is our third season so we finally have some guys playing with experience,” he said, “which is critical in having a successful team.” The 2013 season marks the first time where Roberts will have guys to work with for four years. With that being said, the coach sees nothing but success for his program in the future. “… Water polo takes a lot of attributes and maybe the greatest on is experience,” Roberts said. “To have them for four years, if they stay with it, will create one of the finest teams (at the high school level).”

The College of Mount St. Joseph is eager to start the 2013 football season. When the Lions begin play on Sept. 7, the disappointing 2012 season will be completely behind them. Last season, the program finished with a losing record in conference play for the first time since 2008 and just the second time since 2001. Five teams finished ahead of Mount St. Joe in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference standings. The Lions’ 4-6 overall record marked the program’s first losing season since the winless 2001 campaign. The season ended with a 75-6 drubbing at the hands of rival Thomas More College in the Bridge Bowl. This year’s squad is

starting quarterback job will have some big targets in the passing game as 6’8” junior John Peters and 6’5” senior Tyler Feine (Amelia) should win most jump balls thrown their way. “We should be able to get those guys the ball in the red zone,” said Huber. The offensive line is led by senior Brandon Chapman and junior Brandon Keller. The secondary is led by senior safety Tyler Elrod. Defensive end/linebacker Adam Bigelow (Anderson) missed all of last season with a knee injury, but returns as a fifth-year senior. Nosetackle Russell Turner anchors the defensive line. The linebackers are the most experienced and deepest group on defense, with Konnor Blevins and Garrett Breiner returning. “We like our linebackers,” said Huber. Senior punter Greg Tabar (Colerain) also returns. His leadership on and off the field earned him national recognition in 2012, when he was named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and the Capital One Academic All-District Team. “He’s the best player on our football team,” said Huber. The Lions open the season on Sept. 7 at Augustana College. Following a bye week, the Lions host conference foe Hanover College on Sept. 21.

It will be a challenge, as the Lions need to replace All-American running back James Clay and a host of other starters. “A lot of spots are wide open,” said head coach Rod Huber as his team prepared for training camp. “We’ve got a lot of holes to fill.” Sophomore Cody Meade will try to replace Clay, who led the nation in rushing with 212.4 yards per game in 2012.

FIRST SHOT AT 2013 FIELD HOCKEY

Upperclassmen to lead MND field hockey By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com

READING — The Mount Notre Dame Cougars are back in the eight-team Southwest Ohio Field Hockey League looking to gain ground on defending league champion Ursuline Academy. Coach Beth Vonderbrink’s girls recorded a first-round tournament win against Indian Hill last season and she figures she’ll be chasing Ursuline again for the league crown. MND has seven returning starters in seniors Mackenzie Feathers, Megan Goslee, Abby Reno, Andy Taney and Sarah Sikora; plus juniors Moriah Flynn and Ashley Wittman. Feathers, Reno and Taney play defense; Goslee, Sikora and Wittman are midfielders; with Flynn playing forward. Junior Ally Benz is also expected to be a factor in goal. “We have a group of players who started last year that will be returning for the 2013 season,” Von-

has led to exorbitant costs which make it next to impossible for local communities to adequately fund police, fire, road repair and other local priorities. It’s a big problem. Awhile back, Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune came to me seeking help on this important issue. He’s been working with a coalition of other local government officials all across the country struggling with the same problem. Todd and I, our staffs and the coalition have been working together to come up with a solution. And I believe we’ve found it. On July 17, I introduced legislation which, if passed, would give local communities more flexibility to come up with innovative, less expensive ways to address their wastewater and stormwater challenges. Communities would still have to achieve the same high standards for clean water but additional flexibility should allow many communi-

Evaluating what companies stand for How much do you know about the companies that you do business with? Socially responsible investing is a growing movement in which people choose their investments based on how closely a company’s values reflect their own. While socially responsible investing typically encompasses financial investments, shareholder advocacy and community investments, there is also another kind of investment to consider – an investment of one’s time Steven and purchasAlonso COMMUNITY PRESS ing power. In today’s GUEST COLUMNIST world, people are looking for ways to transfer their financial decisions into real impacts that will promote their ideals. That can mean making “green,” “sustainable” or “ethical” investments. It can also mean giving your business to companies – banks, entertainment venues, restaurants – whose stated mission and philanthropic philosophies match your own. Deciding where to do business can involve a variety of considerations, even before you get to the “socially responsible” part. Does a company offer the quality you desire? How are its products rated? Does the price work with your budget? How convenient is it to do business? Another big factor is reputation. It’s the bridge that links both practical and socially responsible considerations. Most people want to work with a company that treats customers right; a company they can trust to do the right thing. That can lead to deeper questions about whether a company is socially responsible. With a little

research, companies’ corporate culture, vendor and community relationships, environmental practices and more can come into focus. Here are a few tips to get started: » Friends and family. Consult them—they are excellent resources who are often eager to provide feedback about their first-hand experiences. » Online reviews. Specific products are often reviewed on websites like Amazon.com by other consumers and rated on a five-point scale. » Social media. Pose a question on Facebook or Twitter and get answers from a larger pool of individuals. » News media. What stories do you see about this company? Is it positive or negative? » Company websites. Balance what is learned in your media research with what a company produces. Do they have a corporate social responsibility report or an annual report? If so, read them. » Better Business Bureau. Companies are rated for service and quality and their handling of customer issues. » Store-fronts. Visit before you buy. Do they allow you to ask questions? Are the employees knowledgeable? Do they listen to you? Once you make a decision, re-evaluate it over time. Did the bank you chose deliver on its promises? Did the restaurant’s service and food match your impressions from your research? The fact is, as a consumer, you have a world of choices to make, and a world of data to help guide you. Companies know that. We know the power you hold, and we don’t just want your business. We also want your respect.

New legislation may help sewer woes Our sewer rates in Hamilton County have increased by a staggering 130 percent over the last 10 years. What’s more, the county faces paying an additional $3.2 billion in mandated sewer update costs – enough money to build two Brent Steve Spence Chabot Bridges! Jawdropping bills COMMUNITY PRESS GUEST like ours are COLUMNIST occurring in communities across America. Why such huge rate increases? Because local communities are attempting to comply with consent decrees they’ve been forced to agree to by the federal EPA. Currently, the EPA takes a onesize-fits-all, top-down, Washington-knows-best approach in enforcing sewer and stormwater standards. This tactic

ties to do so in a more affordable and cost-effective manner. Specifically, my bill would call for the EPA to allow 15 pilot communities across America to work with the EPA to set up their own program to come into compliance with clean water standards. Everybody wins under this common-sense approach. By allowing the EPA to work more effectively with pilot communities, residents of those communities should get cleaner water at a lower cost. Meanwhile, Congress, the EPA and affected state agencies will be able to study and learn from these programs and, if successful, eventually allow more local communities to adopt what works best in their area, thus saving taxpayers a lot of money while still maintaining stringent clean water standards. It’s my hope, and goal, that Hamilton County will be chosen as one of the 15 pilot pro-

grams. Our community, of course, would have to apply and compete for one of the 15 slots in a fair and above-board process. But if selected, the Hamilton County Commissioners estimate this legislation could save county ratepayers hundreds of millions of dollars compared to the current estimated cost of mandated repairs. This has been a difficult and challenging issue for our community, and I want to thank and commend Commissioner Portune for his leadership in addressing it in a very innovative and thoughtful manner. I guess this is at least one example of bipartisanship at work – a Democrat and a Republican working together to get something done for our community, and for our country. Contact U.S. Rep.

Hey GOP!

Kasich Gets it! Mr. Kasich got off to a rocky start as governor of our state. He antagonized the media at his inauguration. He passed legislation allowing guns in bars – alcohol and guns don’t mix – and he was soundly beaten by a mix of Democrats and blue collar Republicans Guest on the when columnist COMMUNITY PRESS he tried to limit colGUEST COLUMNIST lective bargaining rights in the public sector. His popularity in the fall of 2011 was about as low as a snake’s belly. Recently, however, he has shown that he not only can change, but that he has a fundamental understanding of the reasons why the Republican Party is unpopular with many. He has even found a formula for reaching out to Democrats and independents, which will undoubtedly not only help him win re-election but boost support for the GOP. If he can do both of those things, he stands a chance to be in the running for the White House in 2016, whether the far right likes it or not. How has Mr. Kasich pulled this off? There are three basic reasons. First, he has shown genuine compassion for the poor, the sick and the downtrodden. His efforts to increase Medicaid coverage (which would be paid for, to the tune of 90 percent by 2020, by the federal government anyway) to thousands of Ohioans including 26,000 veterans and thousands

more with mental illnesses, is both sensible and commendable. He has met with stiff resistance from conservatives, but has stuck to his principles. Secondly, he has cut taxes and produced a surplus in the state. He has been relentless about cutting expenses and giving businesses incentives to grow in Ohio. He understands that you have to grow your tax base, not grow your taxes. That is a lesson that Washington needs to learn, and I hope Mr. Kasich can take it there one day. Finally, he has seen the hypocrisy. I understand he has deep Christian values that stress compassion for those less fortunate, a respect for life (he has commuted four death sentences, as well as Right to Life issues) and forgiveness. He has supported efforts to reform convicts and education alike. In short, he has read the 10 Commandments. I am not a formally religious man, but I like the fact he has applied commonly understood, compassionate, Judeo-Christian principles to his work. He hasn’t twisted the Bible to suit his agenda. To his conservative critics I have one thing to say: The train is leaving the station. Start running, you might still get on board. The relentless drumbeat of “no”, the litany of narrow minded opinions on anything from marriage to workers rights to immigration, have cost you two Presidential elections and will cost you the next one as well – unless you embrace newer and fairer values.

CH@TROOM Aug. 21 question Should the U.S. continue to provide financial and military aid to Egypt following the military’s overthrow of its democratically elected government and its deadly attack on protesters?

“I’m glad you asked that question since President Obama has absolutely no idea what to do in all of the Middle East, let alone Egypt. “As Egypt burns and thousands die in the streets, our president enjoyed another round of golf on Martha’s Vineyard. Now that he is back to work in the Oval Office we’d expect him to roll up his sleeves and get to work on these urgent problems. “But no, he’s planning a bus tour to visit his rah-rah supporters who will dutifully swoon at his every word of sarcasm towards Congress while totally ignoring the Middle East and all the other REAL problems he promised to solve in his first term. “For me to suggest what ‘the U.S.’ should do is pointless since there is a wide gulf between America’s goals and whatever goals Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and now Secretary of State John Kerry have in mind for Egypt, etc. “Obama supported the overthrow of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the installation of President Morsi who replaced Mubarak through what were believed to be free elections. “That Morsi, a dedicated member of the well-known terror group, The Muslim Brotherhood, immediately set about reneging on his election promises and proceeded to suspend freedoms and constitutional law in order to create a Sharia Law caliphate cannot be ignored. “Perhaps Obama is sympathetic towards Morsi having deep personal feelings of his own regarding broken campaign promises.”

Elzner & Anderson architects used the finest materials, such as Bedford limestone from Indiana, terracotta roof tile and tight-grained quartersawn oak and Louis C. Tiffany & Co. sconces when they built the Edwin Russell Stearns House in 1906-08. The Stearns family owned the home at 333 Oliver Road until 2002 and played a major role in the development of the Wyoming community, particularly its Presbyterian church.

1908 STEARNS MANSION AWAITS NEW STEWARD BUILT BY PROMINENT ARCHITECTS

SPOOKY STEARNS EXPERIENCE

Cincinnati architectural firm partners Alfred Oscar Elzner (1862-1933) and George Mendenhall Anderson (1869-1916) were at the height of their field during a 30-year stretch that intersected the careers of influential architects H.H. Richardson and Samuel Hannaford in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The partners served a combined 10 years as presidents of the Cincinnati chapter of the American Institute of Architects. It was a position only the best architects – including James K. Wilson, John W. Becker and Benjamin H. Dombar – have filled since 1870. The Elzner & Anderson firm is best known for designing the 15-story Ingalls Building at Fourth and Vine streets, Downtown, in 1903. Ingalls was the world’s first high-rise office tower built of steel-reinforced concrete. It introduced Cincinnati to the skyscraper. But the Cincinnati-educated architects also built grand homes for wealthy Cincinnati families. That list includes Edwin R. Stearns of Stearns & Foster textile and mattress factory. Stearns and other relatives tied to the company chose the rolling hills of Wyoming to settle their families into mansion-size homes. m

When she was a Wyoming High School student, Sherry Sheffield and her friend, too old to trick-or-treat, decided the Stearns House might provide a Halloween experience. They walked down the home’s long driveway, underneath the imposing porte-cochère, up the wide concrete steps to the massive front door – and knocked. “It was the first time I saw a real-life butler,” Sheffield said. Inside was a hall that “went on forever.” There were trophy heads of wild animals on the walls. (Evans Foster Stearns was an avid hunter.) The butler led the girls into the darkwalled dining room. At one end of a long table sat Mrs. Stearns, at the other, Mr. Stearns. The girls sat opposite each other in the middle. “They didn’t say a word. They just sat there,” Sheffield said. “The butler brought out Black Cows for us, and we sat there until we were done. Not a word was said other than maybe our ‘thank yous.’ “It was so perfect for Halloween.”

The 18-foot by 25-foot living room features a white plaster ceiling and modern-style mantel that would have been unheard of during Queen Victoria’s reign (1837-1901). It also features Rookwood faience tile around the fireplace, something the esteemed Cincinnati pottery had just started making in 1902. A 1909 Rookwood catalog credits the tile design to renowned sculptor Clement Barnhorn. ADAM BIRKAN/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

WHAT’S IT WORTH? Based on a cubic-foot cost of 50 cents quoted by Elzner & Anderson in a 1910 edition of The American Architect magazine, the Edwin R. Stearns House was built for approximately $75,000, which in today’s dollars is about $2 million. Kay Landers said Chubb Insurance estimated 11 years ago that it would cost $6.9 million to replace the home using similar materials. She and her husband bought it from Margot Stearns (widow of E. Russell Stearns III) for $1.3 million in 2002. The mansion is for sale for $1.998 million through Sibcy Cline Realtors agent Diane Tafuri. Its 5.6 acres include a carriage house/three-car garage that Landers said predates the house by about 20 or 30 years.

Gannett News Service

yoming’s grand, 105-year-old limestone mansion at 333 Oliver Road has lived a rich life: late-night parties in the basement, pipe organ concerts on Christmas Day and even an alleged ghost sighting or two. That’s all in the past and mostly unrecorded. Today, the 10-bedroom house – with its Bedford limestone, Rookwood and marble fireplaces, striking oak staircase, Tiffany wall sconces and massive but unplayable pipe organ – awaits the next phase, one to be established by whomever is willing to buy it, love it and care for it like its previous owners. Designed by the prominent architecture firm Elzner & Anderson and built from 1906 to 1908, the 14,000-squarefoot house is the brainchild of Edwin Russell Stearns – an executive with the Stearns & Foster Co. – and his wife, Luella Evans Stearns. The couple loved music so much they scrapped original plans for a new house on the Evans family property and worked with Elzner & Anderson to build one around a grand pipe organ. “Music really was the soul of this house,” said Kay Landers, who along with her husband, Tom, purchased the house for $1.3 million in 2002 from the heir to the Stearns estate. Sherry Sheffield, a Wyoming native and volunteer with the Wyoming Historical Society, can attest to that fact. She recalls Christmas carols waxing on the wind through Wyoming one Christmas Day in the 1950s when she was about 10 or 12. She lived with her parents a few blocks below the Stearns House. “I just remember hearing music and I assumed it was the lady in the house at the corner of Brooks and Jewett who was really into music and had two baby grands,” Sheffield said. “But it didn’t sit right. It sounded further off.” Years later, Sheffield found out the music was coming from the Stearnses’ pipe organ. “The house is at the geographic center of town, so you could hear it throughout Wyoming,” Landers said. While a pipe organ might seem old fashioned, many features in the Stearns House were forward-thinking for 1908, making it adjustable to a modern or

traditional lifestyle. Most striking are the number and size of the windows and the Japaneseinfluenced, white plaster ceiling in the living room. Landers said about 90 percent of the house is original, including all the oak flooring, the butler pantry, the basket weave tile floor in the kitchen, seven working pocket doors, bathroom fixtures and almost all the lighting. The house has radiant heating but no air conditioning, a situation the Landerses address with window units. Even though it’s 105 years old, the house was rated 47 percent more efficient than the average home by Duke Energy, Landers said. “I love this place,” she said. “It really is very livable.” But she and her husband are in their mid-60s, still running a successful family business and planning to move to a lake in Southeastern Indiana once the Stearns House is sold. “I want to find a buyer who really wants to keep all the historic elements. It could take years,” she said.

Cobbler, dips make great Labor Day recipes Cleaning out the freezer is never an easy task. I don’t know how I accumulate so much food in there! I ran across a container of sour pie cherries the other day from last year and Rita knew I had Heikenfeld to do RITA’S KITCHEN something with them, and fast. So I made this cherry cobbler. This is really delicious eaten warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream and perfect for that Labor Day gathering.

Cherry or berry cobbler

I have made this with blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. Just about any fruit is good. After baking the batter rises up, surrounding the berries.

6 tablespoons butter 1 scant cup flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 3 ⁄4 cup sugar 2 ⁄3 cup milk 2 generous cups cherries or berries (I used sour pie cherries) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In an 8-inch square or 2-quart baking dish, melt butter in oven. Carefully remove and set aside. Whisk flour, baking powder and sugar together. Add milk and stir until just combined. Pour batter into melted butter but don’t stir. Add cherries. Bake 30-40 minutes or until cake portion is golden and berries exude juices.

Layered Greek dip

From Anderson Township reader Linda Smith via Regan Smith Knaus. “One of my favorites,” Smith told me. 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning 2-3 cloves garlic, minced 11⁄2 cups prepared hummus 1 cup unpeeled, chopped cucumber 1 cup chopped tomato 1 ⁄2 cup pitted chopped Kalamata olives 1 ⁄2 cup crumbled feta 1 ⁄3 cup sliced green onions Pita or multigrain tortilla chips Beat cream cheese, juice, seasoning and garlic until smooth. Spread into deep 9-inch pie plate or shallow serving dish. Evenly spread hummus over cream cheese layer, then top, in order, with cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, cheese and onions.

Beer cheese

ing upon the kind of processed cheese and beer you use, this could be a mild or spicy cheese dip. This is good with pretzel bread sticks. Blend together until smooth: 8 oz. each: cream cheese, softened, and favorite processed cheese Garlic powder to taste 1 ⁄2 cup room temperature beer

got this from Amy Tobin when I was a guest on her radio show. For nice sauté oil that you can freeze, pour olive oil into ice cube trays and add a thin layer of your favorite herb(s).

7-Up Cake: For clarification on Diane Byrne’s recipe that I published, the pudding is one 1 oz. box. It is a package contain four servings. Check out my blog for more recipes. Cherry bounce: How much bourbon? Enough to cover the cherries by an inch or so. Some readers use vodka, rum or grain alcohol. The container should be glass, since it’s not air-permeable, with a tight lid. Canning jars work well. A reader wants to use a sugar substitute. I suggested Splenda, but have not tried it.

Rita used sour cherries for this cobbler, but has also used blueberries, blackberries and raspberries.THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

Tips from readers’ kitchen

Greyhound Restaurant’s pasta Gabrielle: Thanks to the readers who reminded me about this previously published recipe that MaryAnn B. wanted. It’s on my blog.

Can you help?

Poor man’s lobster: I didn’t catch the reader’s name, but she is craving this dish. “It’s made with codfish that you cook in water seasoned with perhaps butter, salt and other ingredients. After it’s cooked, you serve with drawn butter. I would love to have a recipe similar to the one I lost.” Twin Trolley’s BBQ: For Carol E., who loved the sandwich of this now-closed and, I might add, much-loved restaurant. If you have a similar recipe, please share. Manyet’s Bakery cheesecake: Another request from this popular bakery, which was in Newport and now closed. For Pat B. “They had a cheesecake like no other I have ever had that was really great. If in any way you can find that recipe, I would surely appreciate it!”

With something as big as cancer care, why wouldn’t you make your own choice?

signed the check over to me and I have witnesses,’” Weismann said. But Weismann had already filed a police report alleging the person who cashed the check is a thief. Despite all this, Weismann still didn’t have her money back, which caused major problems. “I haven’t been able to pay certain of my bills so I have late fees coming – and my personal account basically is horrible. I can’t use it right now because of this,” she said. Based on the information she’s uncovered, Weismann said she believes police should able to find the thief and take action. “They forged a check and stole a check. They cashed a check. Altogether that’s three things against this person. They need to pay for what’s happened,” Weismann said. I contacted the bank and, following an investigation, the bank returned the more than $500 to Weismann plus money to reimburse her for the overdraft charges she incurred. A spokesman for the bank agrees this appears to be theft. The bank has turned over its findings to the Cincinnati Police Department. So protect yourself whenever you get a check by immediately writing on the back, “For Deposit Only.” There’s no need to sign it, just put it in your bank as soon as possible.

Get eye exams for school As students around Greater Cincinnati head back to school, the Cincinnati Association for the Blind & Visually Impaired (CABVI) and Clovernook Center for the Blind & Visually Impaired – two notfor-profit organizations serving people who have significant vision loss in Cincinnati - are urging families to assess their child’s vision needs. According to the National Parent Teacher Association, vision problems are the fourth most common disability and prevalent handicapping condition during childhood. Even more alarming, more than 60 percent of students with learning problems have undiagnosed vision problems contributing to their difficulties. According to Junior Blind America, more than 12 million children are affected by vision impairment. “Eye exams should be an important part of every family’s back to school routine,” CABVI Executive Director John Mitchell said. “One ap-

pointment will check for the warning signs of vision loss and help ensure a healthy, successful new year for your student – and provide peace of mind for you.” Throughout the month, CABVI and Clovernook Center, which have partnered to make the best use of their combined resources in serving the community, will be providing additional facts and resources on their social media pages. As students start back up with sports, CABVI and Clovernook Center also want to remind parents to ensure that their children use appropriate eyewear to prevent sports-related eye injuries. CABVI and Clovernook Center are non-profit organizations that seek to empower people who are blind and visually impaired to be self-sufficient and independent. More information about CABVI and Clovernook Center can be accessed at: www.cincyblind.org and www.clovernook.org.

Action saves money for families, businesses and taxpayers The Sharonville Convention Center has been awarded LEED Silver certification established by the U.S. Building Council and verified by the Green Building Certification Institute. When the center first began discussions for expansion and renovation, a top priority was to take proper actions to become a sustainable, environmentally friendly building. With the expansion and renovation complete in April 2012, the LEED Silver certification was the final piece to the puzzle.

Do you know the best way to protect yourself when receiving a large check? One woman says she wishes she knew because her check was stolen and cashed months ago – and she’s been unable to recover the money. Earlier this year, Heather Howard Weismann Ain of Delhi HEY HOWARD! Township got a cash advance for more than $500. But before she could cash it, the check was stolen from her parked car. “When I got back to my car it was missing. So I called the place that wrote the check to see if it was cashed. The next day it was cashed and it wasn’t even signed by me,” Weismann said. Weismann got a copy of the check and found although she had not signed the back of it, someone else forged her signature before getting it cashed. “They forged my name and then the bank allowed them to cash the check without me being present,” Weismann said. After doing a lot of investigating on her own, Weismann determined the person who cashed the check had an account at that bank – and that person’s bank account number was written on the back of the check. Weismann contacted the bank, which notified the check casher. “The bank manager had called them and said, ‘You’re supposed to bring the money back.’ She said, ‘Well, Heather Weismann

Woman’s club picks new president, plans its centennial

Community activist and consultant Susan Noonan was elected president of Woman’s City Club (WCC), the local public policy advocacy and civic education non-profit reported July 10. She will lead the club as it approaches its centennial year in 2015. Noonan, of West Chester Township, heads a consulting company offering expertise in fund development, event planning and government relations. She has been a long time board member of the FBI Citizen’s Academy Foundation, is vice chairwoman of the Greater Cincinnati Sports Corporation., and on the Cincinnatus Board. Other officers elected were Barbara Elleman of Mount Lookout as vice president, administration; Lori Nuckolls of Paddock Hills and Beth Sulle-

barger of Glendale, covice presidents for program; Jeanne Nightingale of Price Hill as vice president for civic engagement; Steph Stoller of Blue Ash as secretary; and Nancy Walters of East Walnut Hills as treasurer. A Centennial Committee is planning a variety of ways to observe Woman’s City Club’s100th birthday. March 6, 2015, is the anniversary of the club’s incorporation, and a celebratory dinner is scheduled for that day. WCC has hired Rachel Powell, a University of Cincinnati graduate student, to research and write the history of the club since1965. This undertaking has received substantial funding from the Stephen H. Wilder Foundation, which supports inquiries of civic issues. Powell’s book will serve as an update to the

previous club history, “Lighting the Way” by Andrea Tuttle Kornbluh. WCC has a distinguished history in the city. The group was a leader in the establishment of the City’s Planning Commission (1915-19), the Better Housing League (1925), the Mayor’s Friendly Relations Committee (in the 1940s), and the Hillside Trust (1980). During the mid-1990s, WCC worked in coalition to reform the city budget and the method of electing council, election financing, and election of the mayor. Woman’s City Club continues to undertake collaborative study and action toward civic reform. It works to promote dialogue among people of diverse backgrounds and enable citizens to participate actively in civic affairs.

Sale plants landscaping seed

Great Parks of Hamilton County will hold its annual native tree and shrub sale through Sept. 14. For sale will be 24 types of trees and shrubs from seeds that were collected in the area, making them suitable for local landscaping because they’ve adapted to the weather patterns of the Midwest. “They also help combat

invasive species and create a rich, diverse habitat for many native birds and insects,” according the a Great Parks news release. Plantings are recommended in the fall, to allow a healthy root system before winter’s cold. Each tree and shrub costs $25 and can be ordered online, at www.greatparks.org/ shop/native-tree-and-

shrub-sale. The plants can be picked up Sept. 21 at the gift shop at Sharon Woods. For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/ Sharonville. Get regular Sharonville updates by signing up for our email newsletter. Visit Cincinnati.com/Sharonville.
