BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Wyoming thanks residents for input Recognizes two for volunteer efforts By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Wyoming City Council has recognized two residents who have volunteered on behalf of the city. Debbie Clark has served on the Environmental Stewardship Commission since 2003. In a proclamation read by Mayor Barry Porter during council’s Aug. 20 meeting, Clark was honored for her “help, guidance and wisdom” in helping Wyoming create “a model program for solid waste reduction and recycling that is recognized for its leadership and innovation by other jurisdictions around the state of Ohio.
The Environmental Stewardship Commission recommends proposals and advises city administrators and City Council on solid waste collection, recycling programs, composting and environmental education, sustainability and stewardship. The commission of eight citizens, a council representative and city staff member focuses on the three R’s of reuse, reduce and recycle. Wyoming resident Tracy Lewis was honored for her three years of service on the board of Wyoming Youth Services. “Tracy came to that board as a highly motivated board member, treating her responsibility as a passionate calling rather than just a simple duty,” the proclamation read, “involving
herself in many aspects of the board’s activities and going above and beyond the basic requirements. The mayor described Lewis’ “enthusiasm, level-headedness and an analytical perspective to the proceedings of the board.” “Tracy has served with diligence, sensitivity, professionalism and a caring nature for the people of the city of Wyoming,” Porter read in the proclamation. Wyoming Youth Services is a nonprofit social service agency that works with the city of Wyoming and the Wyoming Board of Education, along with various Hamilton County and Wyoming organizations.

Wyoming expanding parking By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Wyoming is expanding public parking at the Village Green as part of the redevelopment of 400 Wyoming Ave. Council passed a resolution with four affirmative votes authorizing City Manager Lynn Tetley to enter into a contract with Ford Development Co., which was the lowest bidder. Ford Development’s bid of $373,145 was lower than the bid of $469,495 submitted by Fred A. Nemann Co. “The bid documents speci-

fied that the work must commence nearly immediately, and that the parking lot receive the final course of asphalt this fall,” according to a memorandum from Community Development Director Terry Vanderman. “That is likely why the difference in the bids is so significant. “Ford Development, the low bidder on the project, has completed numerous projects for the city of the past several decades, and the quality of their work has proven to be very good,” the memo stated. The expanded public parking lot will connect the existing
parking, north of 400 Wyoming Ave., to the existing parking south of the Public Safety Facility. This will allow vehicles to enter and exit the lot on both Grove and Oak avenues. It will provide 44 parking spaces, of which four will be handicap accessible. The project will include landscaping, lighting and storm water management, with storm sewer and detention.

jam of opinion about a turn lane and landscaped buffer for residents across the street from the development. After Glendale Village Council turned down a proposal by Princeton City Schools to construct a berm to shield Glendale residents from traffic in return for a land donation that would allow the construction of a turn lane, public appeals have been posted on the Glendale and Princeton district websites. Five of the six members of Glendale Village Council voted down the memorandum of understanding during the Aug. 6 meeting, with most agreeing that the turn lane wasn’t needed for the construction of a new middle school and high school, and rejecting the
landscaping offer as inadequate. Princeton Superintendent Gary Pack wrote a letter to the residents of Glendale, explaining the construction project and the district’s offer. Though the village has turned down the proposal and refused to donate the land, the construction will proceed, Pack said in the letter. “The results of this decision will require the entire road project to be in the City of Sharonville, and there will not be widening of Sharon Road with a lefthand turn lane in Glendale,” Pack wrote. “The district wants Glendale residents to understand this may increase the possibility of slower traffic flow due to increased traffic at the new school cam-

Glendale Mayor Ralph Hoop responded with a letter to the residents of the village, which was distributed through e-mail and posted on the village website, www.glendaleohio.org. In his letter, Hoop presented the village council’s perspective on the turn lane and the berm proposal. “A traffic study commissioned by the school said that a left turn lane was not warranted for school traffic,” Hoop wrote. “The turn lane would be justified only if Princeton succeeds with

Activities director’s artistic eye brings joy Visitors to Glendale Place Care Center always comment on the lovely decorations and we have Finneytown’s Darlene Bryant to thank. She is the activities director whose artistic eye brings joy to the lobby, hallways and units. Skilled in knitting, crocheting, sewing, weaving, cross stitching, macrame and needlepoint, woodwork, embroidery and water colors, Darlene says she is “crafty” rather than artistic. I still say she is artistic, because her decorations are magic. Darlene is the mother of one daughter, who has gifted her with two wonderful grandchildren – a boy 9 and a girl 16. Very close to their grandmother, they enjoy spending time with her, attending Reds games, watching movies, playing cards and getting together every Sunday. Growing up in Clifton, she assisted blind students with assignments while in junior high. She worked in a Chinese restaurant for a while before exclusively devoting her time to being a teacher’s assistant in special education classes. From childhood, Darlene knew she wanted to be an humanitarian, but wasn’t sure which direction to take. She worked with blind, deaf and autistic students as a vacation replacement for the Cincinnati Public Schools in the special art department. Her work ethic was so strong that within five years the administrator asked her to become the activity director. Darlene demurred, saying she didn’t feel she had the qualifications. The administrator sent her to school. Wanting to do her best, Darlene took an additional management class and got straight A’s. She began working in a retirement community in 1982 and that 20 year experience was a life changing, dynamic decision. Activities with the elderly gave her a change in career path that she embraced wholeheartedly. She recalls, “Different places give different op-
portunities to highlight your skills. I was very, very, very shy before working with seniors. They helped me develop who I wanted to be as I listened to their stories. You must have an open heart to hear, and I realized that they held my heart in their hands and I held their hearts in mine.” Evelyn After six Perkins years in COLUMNIST adult day
care for the Salvation Army and as director of a dementia unit in an assisted living community, she wanted to get back into activities in nursing homes. “There is no better job and Glendale Place is a good place to work,” Darlene reflected on how much is involved. “When everything looks easy, it means that someone has done a lot of leg work. I couldn’t do this alone. I have a good team. I want to get it right for the residents. If I can enhance their quality of life just a little while, why not? I
often get as much out of this as they do.” Darlene contacts entertainers and coordinates the schedules of the adult and student volunteers, clergy and the residents. There are shopping lists, the newsletters, calendars, church and birthday lists, dietary requests and a ton of other paperwork.
There is the senior prom, the Luau, stunning decorations for each holiday season, the carnival, bake sale (and money to make change), raffle baskets, donations, clowns, musicians and the list goes on. I suspect Darlene has motorized shoes. Although this self-taught computer whiz certainly doesn’t
need the exercise, she cycles, plays racquetball and swims like a fish. Darlene doesn’t have a favorite holiday to decorate for; she just wants everyone to be happy in any season. Evelyn Perkins writes a column about the Tri-County Press area.

FIRST SERVE AT 2012 VOLLEYBALL
Serving up the volleyball season
Wyoming a top-ranked team
By Scott Springer and Nick Dudukovich sspringer@communitypress.com ndudukovich@communitypress.com
The nets are up and the volleyballs are being lofted up and spiked down by the girls squads that have begun the season in the Tri-County Press coverage area. At Princeton High School, head coach Heather Sloane likes the work ethic exhibited by her squad. The Vikings look to be a motivated group after winning the program’s first regular season GMC match since 2004, last season. This season, the squad will look to build off its 7-17 record. “We’ve set goals to reach our potential as individuals and as a team, and are looking forward to improving on the records that we’ve achieved the last two years,” Sloane said. At outside hitter, the Vikings should receive another strong season from Maddie Lohmeier. The junior took second-team allleague honors during her first two seasons and is poised to have another nice season. Seniors Jessica Boggan (middle blocker), Dana Svensson (libero) and Aliyah Roseman (outside hitter) should also be key contributors. In Wyoming, the Cowboys have had back-to-back undefeated seasons in the Cincinnati Hills League resulting in regional appearances and coach of the year honors for Julie Plitt. Plitt is back for 2012 with three returning CHL first-team players in senior Tatiyana Ali and juniors Jessica Leish and Kelsey Maxwell. The trio serve as Cowboy captains. “Tatiyana has a great vertical jump, touching 10 feet and is a stong court leader,” Plitt said by email. “Kelsey has great court awareness and will be

Jessica has a high reach with a powerful swing.” The 6’1” Leish is verbally committed to Indiana, with Maxwell and Ali also seeking collegiate opportunities. Also back for Wyoming are 6’ junior middle hitter Megan Schneider, 6’4” sophomore Madi Maisel and junior defensive specialist Natalie Burchard. “This team has a lot of potential and has a lot of playing experience,” Plitt said. “We are tall with very powerful hitters. However, we lack depth and consistent passing.” Wyoming’s next home match is against Deer Park Aug. 30. In Blue Ash, Ursuline Academy is going for its seventh consecutive winning season—and by looking at the Lions’ returning talent; the squad should meet that goal.

Junior Frank Catrine of Bishop Fenwick scored on a 13-yard run in overtime, then intercepted a two-point conversion pass intended for Wyoming’s Ben Kurtz as Fenwick prevailed at Sycamore Stadium Aug. 23. Wyoming junior quarterback Will Marty threw for six touchdowns, including two to Kurtz and two to Bilal Dawson. The Cowboys trailed 27-13 at the half, but tied the game with 5:49 to go to force the overtime.

DeMarco Thomas got the Vikings on the scoreboard first with a 1-yard, second-quarter touchdown run, but the Princeton (1-0) defense had no answer for Northmont halfback Gaven Kenerly, who scored the next three touchdowns of the contest.

In the first high school football game played in the state of Ohio, Roger Bacon just couldn’t get its offense going Aug. 22. Reading held the Spartans to five yards of total offense on 49 plays, according to Gannett News Service. All of Roger Bacon’s points came in the second quarter.

After Bomber running back C.J. Hilliard scored what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown with 52 seconds to go, Middletown wasn’t ready to give up. Highly touted Middie quarterback Jalin Marshall took his team all the way down to the Bomber three-yard line with eight seconds to go in the contest, but the Bomber defense held steady as Marshall’s pass was too high for receiver Chase Sorrell. The Bombers trailed by 11points in the fourth quarter before Hilliard’s touchdown gave them the lead for good. Marshall finished with 323 rushing yards on 23 carries and four touchdowns, three rushing. St. Xavier quarterback Nick Tensing rushed for 94 yards, including a 46-yard carry to set up Hilliard’s go-ahead score. He also tossed for 176 yards and two touchdowns. The only bad news for the Bombers was that wide receiver/ quarterback Trey Kilgore suffered a broken foot and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Next game: The No. 3 ranked Bombers travel to Indianapolis Cathedral.

There is no shortage of energy in the football office at the College of Mount St. Joseph. Head football coach Rod Huber enters his 13th season leading the Lions, but shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. Huber spent his summer traveling to 18 cities around the world, coaching football with ProCamps Worldwide. Now, he is focused on leading the Lions back to the postseason for the first time since 2009. “He can get you fired up to eat lunch,” said senior linebacker Adam Bigelow (Anderson) of his head coach. “It is a lot of fun.” Bigelow and the defense will be counted on to lead the team this season. It starts up front with the defensive line and nosetackle Russell Turner (Fairfield). Chris Taylor (Colerain), Sean Brooks, and Ben Mocahbee (McNicholas) join Turner in the trenches. Konnor Blevins (Lakota West) leads the linebackers, along with Jay Dolak and Cam Dierig (Highlands). Safety Tyler Elrod (Harrison) is the leader of the secondary. “Our defense is the heart of our team,” Huber said. The Lions boasted the top rushing defense and top scoring defense in the Heartland Conference last season. They will need to repeat that performance and improve their pass defense in order to retake the conference title from two-time defending league champ Franklin College. “We have a lot of confidence in our guys on of-

FILE PHOTO fense,” Bigelow said. “Our defense is always willing to step up and win games if we need to.” The Lions welcome a new offensive coordinator and will attempt to get back to the pro-style, ball control offense that led the program to four straight postseason appearances from 2004 to 2007. All-conference running back James Clay returns for his senior season after rushing for 113.2 yards per game and scoring 16 touchdowns as a junior. Clay will be a workhorse for the Lions. “He wants the ball as much as he can get it,” said Huber. The returning linemen charged with paving the way for Clay are Brandon Keller, Andrew Wilson, Matt Ray, and Tyler Breh. Rob Blundred (Oak Hills) will play a larger role in the offense this season, as he and converted quarterback Trey McPhail will split time
at H-Back and tight end, often being featured in the same formation together. Tyler Feine (Amelia), a 6foot-5 target, is the only experienced wide receiver back this year. Leading the offense will be senior quarterback Brian Pitzer. With an experienced line in front of him and a talented running back behind him, Pitzer will need to be a better game manager in 2012. The not-so-secret weapon in the Lions program is all-conference punter Greg Tabar (Colerain). The Lions rarely lose the field position battle with Tabar on the field. Consistency will be a key this year, after a streaky 2011 season. Mount St. Joseph started the 2011 season by winning its first three games, before dropping three, then winning three before falling in the annual Bridge Bowl to rival Thomas More College.

This season, the Lions hope to be 4-0 heading into their Oct. 6 showdown at home against Franklin. “We’ve got to come out right away and set the tone for the rest of the season,” said Bigelow. The Lions open the season at home against Wilmington College at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1.

TMC football hungry By Adam Turer presspreps@gmail.com
It is hard to imagine a team being disappointed with winning 31 of its past 35 games. While disappointment might be a bit too strong, the Thomas More College Saints remain hungry for more success. After reeling off two straight undefeated regular seasons capped by first round playoff victories, the Saints slightly stumbled in 2011, losing their first regular season game since 2008, their first conference game since 2007, and their first round playoff game. “We can’t be satisfied,” said head coach Jim Hilvert. “We have lofty goals for this season.” Hilvert enters his sixth season as the ranked 22nd among all active NCAA head football coaches in winning percentage (.768). Senior safety Zach Autenrieb (Elder) enters the season with 24 career interceptions, six shy of setting a new Division III record for career interceptions. Sophomore quarterback Luke Magness opened eyes after starting the final two games of the 2011 season. Former Saints quarterback Trevor Stellman (Conner) takes over offensive coordinator duties after Brian Sheehan was named head coach at Defiance College. He will keep in place the Saints’ dangerous option attack, in which speedy backs Domonique Hayden and Landon Savoy will pile up yardage. The receiving corps is deep, led by local products Austin Studer (Campbell County), Ryan Winkler (Simon Kenton), Tony Bell (Northwest), Bobby Leonard (Dixie Heights), and Mercier Doucette (Boone County). The entire offensive line returns intact, led by first team All-PAC tackle Jeremy Hoop (Glen Este), second team All-PAC center Kevin Naltner (Elder), and fellow senior Kevin

Eads (Oak Hills). Adam Rauch moved from running back to safety, where he Autenrieb will line up next to Autenrieb. Skilled cornerbacks Shaquille Jinks (Moeller), Jake Fishburn (Elder), and Antonio Booker round out the secondary. Nick Gramke (Elder), Alex Taylor (Elder), Ben Flamm (Deer Park), Nate Dorsey, and Eli Anglim (Anderson) give the Saints a deep linebacker group. Jay Volker (Elder) returns to lead the defensive line after missing the 2011 season with a knee injury. Tyler Combs (Highlands), Chris Bouman (Bishop Brossart), and Tyler Calhoun (Bethel-Tate) join Volker up front. The Saints will rely on their seniors — Bell, Doucette, Naltner, Hoop, Eads and Studer on offense; Volker, Gramke, Autenrieb, Anglim and Booker on defense — to lead the team beyond the second round .

If you would like to get a Social Security statement, which provides estimates of your future benefits, it is now available online at www.socialsecurity.gov . “Our new online Social Security statement is simple, easy-touse and provides people with estimates they can use to plan for their retirement,” said Michael J. Astrue, commissioner of Social Security. “The online statement also provides estimates for disability and survivors benefits, making the statement an important financial planning tool. People should get in the habit of checking their online Statement each year, around their birthday, for example.” In addition to helping with financial planning, the online statement also provides workers a convenient way to determine whether their earnings are accurately posted to their Social Security records. This feature is important because Social Security benefits are based on average earnings over a person’s lifetime. If the information is incorrect, the person may not receive proper benefits. The online statement provides you the opportunity to save or print the document for future reference, or to have handy for discussions with family members or a financial planner. According to the American Customer Satisfaction Index, users are giving the online statement a score of 89, making it competitive with our other toprated, best-in-government online
services, such as the retirement estimator and online retirement application. To get a personalized online stateSue Denny COMMUNITY PRESS ment, you must be age 18 or GUEST COLUMNIST older and must be able to provide information about yourself that matches information already on file with Social Security. In addition, Social Security uses Experian, an external authentication service provider, for further verification. You must provide identifying information and answer security questions in order to pass this verification. Social Security will not share your Social Security number with Experian, but the identity check is an important part of this new, thorough verification process. When your identity is verified, you can create a “My Social Security” account with a unique user name and password to access your online statement. In addition, your online statement includes links to information about other online Social Security services, such as applications for retirement, disability, and Medicare.

CH@TROOM Aug. 22 question What county and city services does it make sense to merge to save money?
“Any service that can be done more cheaply and efficiently by merging should take place. “I would start with dumping city council and using a County council or commissioner based system. That saves millions right there. It seems to work in other cities. “Merging the police might be the second merger. I suspect there is a duplication of administrative jobs that could be cut back in many areas via mergers. I would move future pensions to 401K’s (like the private sector) so “retirement” is whenever it makes sense for the individual. “Double dipping the same job after retirement should be a last resort and temporary at best. “Go Figure!” T.D.T. “What county and city services does it make sense to merge to save money? I’m trying hard to think of what ‘services’ I receive from either the county or the city. “There is the fire department, the sheriff, and the city police (though I believe Cincinnati police jurisdiction ends at the city limits). I don’t really think its feasible to merge the city po-

It involves replacing the curbs on our streets, and in some cases, areas of sidewalk. “There are positive aspects of this, including the fact that the project provides work for the construction company, and in some ways, the result has been an improvement. But I honestly can’t say that if it were left up to me as to whether this work was done or not that I would have done it. And the township could have saved a whole bunch of money.” Bill B. “It should save money to merge county/city garbage pick-

“Sorry, I think the question is premature. I would be more inclined to give an opinion if I had some idea what is being considered for merger, what the dollars are, and what the potential downside is for each merger being considered.” F.N. “This is a very important and timely subject. I am sure much could be done in consolidating some city and county services. As a matter of fact some few years ago there was a program called Agenda 360 that did a lot of research on this very subject on consolidating activities of city and county. I think a committee should be formed consisting of some people from both areas and first see what became of the 360 data and then do additional studies.” E.S.

Time for sense in gun talk The ban on texting A Sikh temple in Wisconsin, a crowded movie theater in Colorado, a school in the same state, an Amish community in Pennsylvania, Virginia Tech and the list goes on. Each time we hear the NRA shout down the voice of reason and common sense in support of an agenda that allows free access to assault weapons and shotguns designed to down helicopters. I for one am tired of this nonsense. If you want to interpret the constitution, written in the 18th century, to mean that every lunatic who wants to make a point can own weapons our Founding Fathers could not even dram of, fine. Count me out. I think they were good, honest men who wanted to protect our freedoms, and were in favor of an armed people’s militia, which is essentially our National Guard. If you serve our country as a member of the National Guard, and are trained to use guns, I say you can have one, just like the framers of the Constitution intended. This is already the case in Switzerland for example, and it makes sense. If you are a psychotic person never exposed to any gun training, you should not be allowed to buy a gun. Period. Who in their right mind could possibly disagree with that statement? The NRA for one,
and of course, the sick people who get their jollies by killing us. Which kind of puts them in same camp, wouldn’t Bruce Healey you think? I have heard COMMUNITY PRESS GUEST the arguments COLUMNIST that people need guns to protect themselves. Really? When was the last time someone burst into a home in your part of leafy suburbia and threatened your family? Even when it does happen, how many times do make a difference for the victim? When guns are involved what percentage ends with the victim’s death? How many times have guns accidentally killed children while waiting for the statistically impossible chance to “defend” them? Our dear Ohio governor recently signed into law a piece of legislation allowing concealed carry in bars. Now there is a good mix: alcohol and firearms. One person has defended this by saying “If someone comes into a bar and holds it up I want a chance to defend myself.” Firstly, when was the last time you were in a bar that was held up? Secondly, I do not want to be in a bar when some person

who has been drinking decides to “defend” himself or the bar, and starts letting lead fly. Take the money. No one’s life is worth as little as gold. It always strikes me as ironic that many of the same people that defend the NRA and gun rights are the same ones who defend the unborn against abortion, and define themselves as conservative Christians. You can’t reconcile your right to own a gun with the purpose of killing someone with “Thou shalt not kill.”The bible does not say “Thou shalt not kill (except in the case of self-defense, home invasion and standing your ground).” I doubt Jesus would have killed to get his message across. So let’s stop the madness. There are many ways to reconcile the Constitution with reality. Serve your country and gain the right to bear arms for protection of yourself or the Constitution. If people want to hunt, let them buy the appropriate weapons for that after a course and a background check. Let’s act now. The next victim of this insanity might well be you or your someone you love, because right now, no one is safe, as events have shown in vivid red. Bruce Healey is a resident of Indian Hill.
while driving
Ohio recently became the 39th state to ban texting while driving. The new law goes into effect Aug. 30. For the first six months after Aug. 30, police officers will issue written warnings instead of tickets for violations of the law. The law treats adults and minors differently. For adults, texting is a secondary offense. Adults could be ticketed for texting only if they were first pulled over for another offense, such as speeding. For adults, reading or writing a text while driving is a minor misdemeanor. The maximum penalty is a $150 fine plus court costs. The law is stricter for minors. Minors are banned from using cell phones, iPads or other electronic devices while driving. The use of any of these devices while driving is a primary offense for minors. This means that an officer can pull over a minor if he sees the minor texting or talking on a cell phone while driving. For a first offense for minors, the mandatory penalty is a $150 fine and 60-day license suspension. Repeat minor offenders face a mandatory $300 fine and one-year license suspension. There are exemptions under

the law. All drivers may text and use cell phones in an emergency. All drivers may use electronic devices while the car is Brad stationary and Greenberg COMMUNITY PRESS outside a lane of travel. Adult GUEST COLUMNIST drivers cannot be cited for typing in a number or name to make a phone call. The new statewide ban does not supersede local laws. Many cities, such as Cincinnati, already have local laws that prohibit texting while driving. Cincinnati’s law treats texting while driving as a primary offense for adults and minors. Ohio’s new law affects drivers of all ages. But younger drivers are a specific concern. A survey by AT&T of 1200 drivers ages 15-19 showed that while 97 percent think that texting while driving is dangerous, 43 percent admit to doing it and 61 percent say their friends text and drive. Judge Brad Greenberg presides in Hamilton Count Municipal Court. He lives in Loveland.

Sharing favorite appetizer recipes There’s one kind of recipe I can never get enough of: appetizers. I’ll bet you’re in that predicRita ament someHeikenfeld times too, so RITA’S KITCHEN today I’m sharing some favorite appetizer recipes. And remember, we eat with our eyes as well as our tummies, so garnishing a dish, even simply, is worth the trouble. Try edible flowers, herbs or just a few parsley sprigs. Your food will look as good as it tastes. (Check out my website, abouteating.com, or my blog, Cooking with Rita, for videos and photos of edible flowers and herbs and how to use them). And here’s a tip for those zucchini that seem to know no bounds. Every year there’s a couple that grow to the size of ball bats seemingly overnight. I’ll cut them, scoop out seeds if necessary and grate them. Nice to have in winter for soups, breads and muffins.
Rita’s Hall of Fame honey-roasted almonds
Health tip from Rita: Stalks of health Celery contains vitamin C, calcium and potassium, which means it’s good for the heart. Celery helps prevent cancer and high blood pressure. The leaves have even more nutrients than the ribs, so leave them on!
Almonds, like all nuts, contain fiber and protein, plus a good amount of calcium. This is my most popular roasted nut recipe. Don’t forget to toast the nuts first; otherwise the coating won’t adhere well. These make a great gift from the kitchen and a nice snack to tote on trips.
Chile con queso
Awesome with multicolored tortilla chips.
2 cups whole almonds with skin, toasted ¼ cup sugar ½ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons each: honey and water 2 teaspoons canola oil
Mix sugar and salt in large bowl and set aside. Stir together honey, water and oil in pan and bring to a boil. Immediately stir in nuts and continue to cook and stir until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Immediately transfer nuts to bowl with sugar/salt mixture and toss until evenly coated. Pour out onto sprayed cookie sheet. When cool, break up and store airtight at room temperature up to a month. To toast nuts: Pour in
These honey-roasted almonds are Rita's most popular roasted nut recipe. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD. single layer on cookie sheet. Roast at 350 degrees until fragrant, about 10-15 minutes. Stir from outside edge into center a couple of times.
Healthier goat cheese dip with herbs 6 oz. goat cheese, low fat if possible 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
Up to 1 tablespoon olive oil ⁄3 cup parsley 2 teaspoons each: chopped mint and thyme Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Celery stalks or other raw veggies for dipping

Put cheese, yogurt and olive oil in food processor until smooth. Stir in herbs and seasonings. Chill at least 1 hour before serving.
1 cup grated extra sharp cheddar ½ cup Velveeta, cut into pieces ½ cup whipping cream 2 tablespoons chopped yellow onion 2 tablespoons diced tomato 1 jalapeño, stemmed, seeded and diced Tortilla chips
Put cheddar and Velveeta into a non-stick pot or double boiler over low heat and heat until cheese mixture is nearly melted. Add cream and whisk constantly until hot and smooth. Pour into serving dish and sprinkle with onions, tomatoes and jalapenos.

got that high. She says the movers didn’t explain it and wouldn’t unload the truck until Howard they were Ain paid in cash HEY HOWARD! upfront. “They absolutely refused. They said, ‘We’re driving out of here. We’ll go in storage and you’ll pay again for us to re-deliver’,” she said. Quinn ended up paying in full and says she was shocked at what she found when they unloaded the truck. There were more than 20 items missing. “Pots and pans, some of her dishes and chairs were missing. The ironic thing is we paid like $76 a piece to have the glass wrapped for the top of her furniture and it didn’t arrive. So, we paid extra over and above for that and three of the five pieces aren’t here … it’s lost. They don’t know where it is,” Quinn said. A spokesman for Great American Van Lines says they’re still looking for all the items, adding this has never happened before. Quinn values the lost items at about $5,000, but Great American Van Lines
says it’s only prepared to pay her 60 cents per pound. The company spokesman says Quinn didn’t want full replacement value insurance and signed papers to that effect. Quinn says she never was given that option and never turned down full coverage. So I asked the company for the paperwork showing she declined coverage, but have yet to receive it. As a result, Quinn is filing a complaint with federal regulators from the United States Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Under the law, “Unless a shipper waives full value insurance in writing, a carrier’s maximum liability for household goods that are lost, damaged, destroyed or otherwise not delivered to the final destination is equal to the replacement value of such goods.” That’s subject to the declared value of the goods.

New legislation signed into law gives the government more authority over interstate moving companies. This comes as the government shut down 75 moving companies last year. But problems with moving companies continue, so you need to beware. Vicki Quinn needed to move her mother from Florida to Colerain Township and searched the Internet for moving companies. She and her sister called several companies. They picked one that wasn’t exactly the cheapest, or the most expensive. “They seemed to be very professional, and that’s kind of how we decided on them,” Quinn said. They picked Great American Van Lines out of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “They were very helpful. The mover was incredible. He came, wrapped mom’s things. He taped them and seemed to take great pride in how he loaded the truck,” Quinn said. The cost of the move was estimated to be $1,615, but after the moving truck arrived at the new home the bill jumped to $2,370. Although packing costs had now been added, Quinn says she didn’t fully understand how the bill

” he said. WNV is a potentially serious illness. Experts believe WNV is established as a seasonal epidemic in North America that flares up in the summer and continues into the fall. Some theories behind the early detection of WNV include current drought and heat conditions. “WNV is transmitted through Culex mosquitoes. This species does well in drought, preferring to breed in organically rich water sources, such as those found in shrinking water in ditches and catch basins. The heat we've experienced also speeds up their life cycle and amplifies the virus,” Kesterman said. Hamilton County Public Health staff is conducting

Business continues to grow
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on Thursday, August 2nd for LifeSafer Inc., the leading manufacturer and distributor of ignition interlock devices in the United States that are employed in the vehicles of DUI-convicted offenders. LifeSafer outgrew its Norwood location and moved to a 21,000-squarefoot space at 4290 Glendale-Milford Road in Blue Ash. “We are currently the largest ignition interlock company in the United States. We plan to continue to grow between now and the end of the year from 70 employees at this location to over a hundred,” said Craig Armstrong, LifeSafer president and CEO. “The boost in business is a result of states taking a tougher stance on drunk driving,” said Stella Bavely, spokeswoman for LifeSafer. Alabama is the most recent state to put an ignition interlock law in place for DUI-convicted offenders. In addition, the transportation bill signed into law by President Barack Obama in July includes incentives for states that de-

velop programs aimed at deterring drunk driving on local roads and highways. The bill also calls for the implementation of ignition interlocks that prevent a vehicle from starting if a driver fails a breathalyzer
test. “Interlock devices are a useful tool to prevent drunk driving and spare families the tragedy of losing a loved one to a drunk driver,” co-founder Jerry Stanton said.

Princeton leadership to unify new campus By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
As construction progresses on the Princeton middle school/high school campus, the district is restructuring its leadership to improve the flow of the combined campus. The new leadership pyramid is in place as students start the school year, to let students and staff acclimate to the system as middle school students prepare to move into their new building in 2013, with the high school following in 2014. Principal William Sprankles’ position has expanded to include grades six through 12. As head principal, he will oversee school programs and culture. Middle School Principal Marni Durham and high school principal Jackie Cruse will run the day-today operations at those schools. New to Princeton is the
position of principal of operations for grades six through 12. Steve Castator will focus on safety, security, operations and logistics. “These responsibilities typically fall onto the plate of individual principals,” Sprankles said, “which means they often fall to the back burner. “When you juggle so many things, the notion is that you aren’t doing certain things well.” Another staffing change designed to build on the continuity of middle school to high school was the expansion of the athletic director’s responsibility. As Princeton’s AD for grades six through12, Gary Croley will build pipelines for sports programs, with the middle school as a feeder to the high school. Sprankles said the new structure will help make operations more fluid as students move into the new schools, with a single set of processes that will carry them through those school
years. “You can’t have security expectations at the middle school, and then expect them to learn a different way at high school,” Sprankles said. “The goal is to build a fluid, continuous culture that will reduce number of transitions and anxiety,” Sprankles said. “Especially
and student in a one-on-one relationship that allows them to benefit from the two generations. Students help the seniors with activities such as household tasks and technology issues, and seniors share their knowledge and wisdom. For more information, contact coordinator Debbie Bellman at 522-9361.

You don’t have to spend a fortune to find something of beauty.” The former Evendale councilmember, also known for his contributions to the Boys Scouts of America within the village, was on a national committee for the Boy Scouts’ Order of the Arrow. Griffin was attending a meeting in Phoenix in the mid-1970s and decided to visit some of the surrounding areas. Driving through Arizona cities such as Sedona, Flagstaff and a stop in the Grand Canyon, he also visited Indian reservations. His collection of southwest American Indian art began there. He bought some pottery and rugs from trading posts on the reservations, and the collection expanded from there. Today, Griffin said he has hundreds of pieces from southwestern American Indian tribes, some from native Mexican tribes, and a few by a couple of Cherokee artists. There’s a story behind each piece he owns, and he can tell you its story. To supplement his art collec-
tion, he has books and magazines featuring artists whose works he owns, including a series of “Arizona Highways” travel magazines. Each magazine is themed by a type of art, whether its pottery or fashion, which help Griffin tell a background story of the piece, how it’s made or the artist. He thinks a piece of jewelry or a rug, about a century old, is the oldest in his collection. Most of his collection is from the 1930s to 1950s, but he’s been collecting various pieces since he was a civil engineering student at the University of Cincinnati. The saying is to acquire the highest quality possible, he said, because it will always hold its value, but sometimes people can’t afford it. As long as it brings the collector pleasure and has significance, it’s worth having, he added. “It doesn’t have to be valuable,” Griffin said. “It just has to have an association of memories of the happy days of your life.” For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/ Evendale.
