The bloom of Rose
Sharon Rose Tyahur was born in Jenkins, Ky. As the first baby delivered at Sharon Heights Hospital after the nuns took it over, it was appropriate to name her for the facility and for Sister Rose. The family moved to Sharonville the Christmas of her kindergarten year, when Princeton held kindergarten in the church on Main Street. Sharon immediately caught measles. To soften her southern accent, and because she was shy, her teacher encouraged her to speak more. SEE LIFE, B1

Tenants, anyone?
As the economy continues to crawl, communities are trying to market vacant properties

Vacancies among retail and commercial properties have posed challenges to several communities, but an empty storefront may not always mean that a city is in trouble, local officials have said. Springdale has lost several large retailers over the past few years. Walmart, Sofa Express and Circuit City are just a few, but as the cycle continues, new companies move in to those or other locations. Retail vacancies are measured in percentage of square footage, and Economic Development Director Jeff Tulloch said the city measures it as a whole, not store by store. For example, if a store is vacated and another one gains a tenant, that addition can offset the first vacancy in terms of square footage. “That’s the nature of the business,” Tullock said. “Everybody has vacancies these days,” he said. “There are always vacancies.” So, what is an acceptable percentage of empty square footage? Tulloch said it’s typical for the area to see 10 percent vacancies, but the tough economy has driven that number to 18 percent across the region. That’s where Springdale is, though Tulloch said interest from retailers and other businesses indicates that the city will be clos-

ing that gap. He said that an empty storefront may seem more dire than it actually is because it has a large amount of space for few employees. So, if the store moves out, the city loses a tax base from few workers. With office space, the opposite is true. “The typical office user, on a square-foot basis, an office produces about 10 times the payroll as retail, because you have higher salaries,” Tulloch said. “There may be four people per 1,000 square feet,” he said. “In retail, you might have about 1 Deer Park There are nine buildings in the city of Deer Park that are vacant, all to varying degrees.

employee per 1,000 square feet. He said that Springdale doesn’t receive substantial revenue from real estate taxes. The city benefits from an earnings tax. “What’s important to us is the higher the density and salaries are, the more the city gets to provide the services it does,” he said. Sharonville is more commercial and industrial-based. “Vacancy naturally exists in real estate because of the flow of incoming and outgoing tenants,” said Tammy Riddle, economic development specialist for Sharonville. “Vacancies tend to cause the most public disturbance when it tenants for its downtown project, which has yet to be built.

breeds poor property maintenance, vandalism or crime, which tends to happen only when there is a concentration of vacancies within close proximity,” she said. That’s because there is an absence of property owners, tenants or people that would typically deflect those situations.

Much of the land near Glendale-Milford Road in the business park is vacant and several signs along the road advertise that land is available for more businesses to come in. Neyer Properties made changes late last year to The Village Crossing at the corner of Glendale Milford and Reading Roads, where there were several vacant retail spaces. Cameron said Neyer tore down part of the western side of the building in the shopping center in an effort to make the development more attractive and show possible tenants how much space is available.

The trustees also approved a resolution for new playground equipment to be installed at the playing fields behind the township administration building at 8540 Kenwood Road.

Sharonville adds budget discussion to council agenda kmcbride@communitypress.com
As Sharonville wrestles with its budget for the upcoming year, residents are beginning to weigh in on the decisions that will affect city departments and residents alike. During city council’s Aug. 31 meeting, resident Valerie Claypool addressed the elected officials, request-
ing an open forum to discuss budget concerns. “It will get your constituents’ opinions on the budget,” she told councilmembers. “The public needs to be aware of all of that,” she said of the budget concerns and resulting decisions. Council has scheduled a special council meeting for Tuesday, Sept. 21, starting at 6 p.m.
The reason: to discuss the budget. The city’s law director, Tom Keating, shared with council feedback he’d received recently at the Community Center. “I’ve been getting comments from people at the rec center,” Keating said of the Recreation Department’s decision to close the center earlier on Fridays, and to close it on Sundays.

Princeton makes big showing at State Fair

kmcbride@communitypress.com
Hard work throughout the past school year paid off for Princeton High School students, with 75 projects on display at the Ohio State Fair last month. Fair officials allowed Princeton to have twice the space of any other school in the state due to its “longstanding tradition of large displays,” according to Dennis Simpson, who heads the Technology Education Department at Princeton. Of those displays, five received
Best of Show awards at the twoweek fair, which drew more than 812,000 people. Princeton also demonstrated its underwater ROV project. The hands-on display of the remotely operated vehicles was a hit with the kids, according to Princeton teacher Brian Lien, whose engineering class created the vehicles. “This is the whole belief behind STEM (science, technology, engineering and math),” he said. “They learn better when it’s hands-on, practical. “You can intermix the subjects
Best of show Five projects won top awards at the Ohio State Fair: • Best of show in graphic arts for over-all display; • Best of show in alternative power for hydrogen fuel cell by Brandon Bischoff; • Best of show in energy for wind

so it makes sense,” he said. “That way, it’s not limited to one subject matter, and they understand it better.” Among the award-winning projects, now on display at the high school, was a wind turbine created by Kyle Wilke, who is now a junior. Though some projects are built using kits, his was created through his own creativity, engineering and construction skills. He spent no money to build a vertical wind turbine, collecting scraps of wood, plastic pipe and a bicycle rim. “There were no plans for that,” Wilke said. “It’s just made up.” It took three weeks to complete, from research to design to construction. “We make the connection between theory and practical with these projects, Simpson said. Wilke used math to measure, engineering to design and construction skills to build it with a band saw, hand saw and sander. The hardest part: cutting the board under the bicycle rim perfectly circular, which was essential to his design. Simpson said Wilke’s turbine differs from others. “It doesn’t matter what direction the wind is coming from,” Simpson said. Wind spins the turbine, Wilke explained, turning a generator that sends electricity to a panel of lights atop the turbine. Wilke said the effort it took to build the turbine from scratch was worth it. “I was excited,” said Wilke, who wants to pursue engineering in college. “I didn’t think I’d put it together this well.”

Wyoming VB trying to come together
By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Wyoming High School volleyball team started the season with a pair of wins, including a win over Cincinnati Hills League rival Madeira Aug. 31. Wyoming defeated Madeira 25-15, 25-11, 2524 but head coach Julie Plitt said she wasn’t satisfied with the Cowboys’ performance. “We were very mediocre,” Plitt said. “Madeira plays a different style and they do a great job of placing the ball in the hole and that kept us on our heels the whole game. We never got into a rhythm.” Plitt said she is definitely happy to open the season with a pair of wins but said the team still has some work to do. “We have some great passers and setters and great hitter, but we just don’t connect on a regular basis,” she said. “We’re not putting it all together yet, but I think it’s just a matter of time. The girls talk a lot and work hard and when everything comes together, we’re going to have a lot of fun.” Wyoming opened the season with a win over Fairfield, 25-18, 25-21, 21-25, 19-25, 15-6. “Fairfield is a giant school so to beat a large

Vikings golf looking for consistency By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
Princeton High School head golf coach Dan Rebilas entered this season with high hopes for his squad, which returned four senior starters. But the Vikings, which have finished last or second-last in the Greater Miami Conference five of the last six years, have struggled with consistency. “Our initial goal was to move into the upper half of the GMC, but consistency is really holding us back,” second-year head coach Dan Rebilas said. “I thought with the progress we had made since last year that we’d be
a little more competitive.” Princeton is 2-3 (as of Sept. 3) in dual matches with wins over Middletown Christian and the Fairfield B team. The Vikings have losses to Middletown Christian, Summit Country Day and Springboro. One senior expected to contribute, Ben Young, is still recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum suffered last spring during the baseball season. Young was unable to practice for much of the summer. “He wasn’t able to pick up a club until about a week before practice,” Rebilas said. “It’s very frustrating for him because he knows he can (golf well). I’m hoping that if he
continues to work that he’ll be able to put it together.” The most consistent Viking has been senior captain Robert Samaniego, who shot a 75 at the Princeton Invitational. “He’s our most steady golfer,” Rebilas said. Seniors Jay Campbell and Jason Schlake, meanwhile, have had scores ranging from the upper 30s to the lower 50s. “All of our guys have the ability to shoot low scores,” Rebilas said, “but some days it’s off the charts.” Sophomore Nick Perrin has consistently been in the low-to-mid 40s, while juniors Zach Branscum and Mike Roy have also con-
tributed. The GMC Tournament will be at Weatherwax Golf Course Sept. 2223, with the Sectional Tournament slated for Miami Whitewater Oct. 6. “All of our guys are capable of playing well at sectionals,” Rebilas said. “Robert probably has the best chance of getting out of sectionals.” Rebilas added he’s been encouraged by Princeton’s middle school program, which features a large number of seventh- and eighthgrade boys. “I’m hoping to generate more competition for positions in the future,” Rebilas said.

Captain in control
Wyoming senior captain Hailee Schlager dribbles upfield during Wyoming’s 1-0 loss to Madeira Sept. 1 at Wyoming. The Cowboys tied McNicholas and Summit after their opening game win over Princeton.
The Wyoming High School football team was dealt a setback when quarterback Kyle Seyfried broke a bone in his foot in the 217 win over Edgewood and will be out for the next four to six weeks. “I feel terrible for him,” Cowboys head coach Bernie Barre said. “To miss half of his senior season, that’s a tough situation for him.” Seyfried was stellar in the Edgewood game, completing 15 of 24 passes for 184 yards and had three touchdown passes. Barre said he had an X-ray the Friday after the game and took the news about the injury “as well as could be expected.” “He’s very disappointed,” Barre said. “It’s very tough. For as hard as he
works to not get to play for half the season is very disappointing for him. But he knows there Seyfried is nothing he can do about it, and he’ll be rehab it and he’ll be ready when it’s healed.” Senior Robert Gomez takes over the quarterback duties for Wyoming. Gomez saw limited action in the backup role in 2009, completing 13 of 19 passes for 127 yards and threw two interceptions and had a passer rating of 103.5. Barre said the offense won’t change much with Gomez under center. “I have great confidence in Gomez at quarterback,” Barre said. Even with Seyfried on the bench, the Cowboys
should be the favorite in most of the rest of the games they play. While an underdog against Turpin, Wyoming still has a very talented defense and some more than capable playmakers on offense, and the Cowboys don’t play the other perennial power in the Cincinnati Hills League, Indian Hill, until the last game of the regular season. If Seyfried only misses four weeks, he could be back in time for the Oct. 1 game against Madeira, who could be one of the other top teams in the CHL this season. He’s more likely to return in the middle of October if his rehab goes well. Asked if he thought teams would overlook the Cowboys with Seyfried on the sidelines, Barre said he hoped they did. “I hope so. We still have a very good team,” he said.

had a losing season since. Hern, who retired from Seven Hills last June after spending 17 years at the institution, has many fond memories as the former coach and athletic director. He especially remembers when the team made it to the state championship game against Patrick Henry High School (Toledo) under his successor, coach Mike Gims. Despite coming up short on the scoreboard, the game remains one of Hern’s favorite memories. “That was a really special moment, when I was standing in Canton’s Fawcett Stadium,” Hern said. “I was really thrilled beyond belief that as an athletic director, I got to see the thing come to fruition right in front of my eyes ... that was probably the highlight of my athletic career.” By making the state championship game, CHCA became the youngest program in Ohio High School Athletic Association history to reach the state finals. Since CHCA has been successful, the program has started to warrant high expectations year in, year
out. While that pressure could bother some coaches, current Eagles coach Eric Talor uses it as motivation. “With success comes expectations,” Taylor said. “Just like every other staff in the city, we work our tails off to make sure we provide the best opportunities for our guys to win.” Since taking over for Gims in 2008, Taylor has accumulated a 19-4 record, and kept the winning tradition going. Taylor also represents a link to the Eagles’ beginnings because Hern was still serving as athletic director when Taylor was hired. Taylor was just the guy Hern was looking for. “Besides being a good football coach, he has tremendous personality and he can really relate to the kids and parents,” Hern said. “(The selection committee) felt he could keep our program rolling by keeping the kids involved and their spiritual background up.” Taylor said he talked to his team about the importance of 100 wins so the boys could realize how big the night was for the school.

Milestone gives Hern, CHCA joy The boys needed no extra motivation to win the game for the program they are a part of. “It felt great to be a part of this team,” senior linebacker Blake Avery said. “It feels great to be a part of CHCA football, with only one losing season in 13 years ... it’s cool to be a part of the hard-working tradition we have here.” Senior quarterback Nick Lawley shared his teammate’s sentiment. “It’s a great feeling to get that victory,” he said. “Being a part of CHCA is more than just football, it’s like a community and a (brotherhood) we all share.” Lawley also expressed his gratitude for Hern and said it was special to celebrate with him after the victory by giving the former coach the game ball. “It was a great feeling because he was the one who started this program...he’s the one who had this dream.” The Eagles will try to bounce back from Sept. 3’s 41-26 loss to Madeira at home against Mariemont on Sept. 10.

Although the Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy football team lost to Madeira High School Sept. 3, the school still has reason to celebrate. CHCA celebrated its 100th win with a 27-13 victory over Shroder High School Aug. 27. The milestone marked another achievement in the school’s short 13-year history. Cliff Hern – former CHCA coach, athletic director and the father of CHCA football – was on hand to witness the game. “Winning 100 games means a lot because we’ve only had one losing season, and we are starting our 14th year,” Hern said. “It’s really amazing to me...we had a lot of good players and coaches, as well as the support of the administration and CHCA parents (which allowed) us to build such a great football program.” Hern started the program because he wanted the boys of CHCA to have an “athletic experience” during their high school years. “We thought the game was important ... and we wanted our young men to have the experience of playing high school football,” he said. While being granted a team was one obstacle to overcome, Hern and the powers-that-be needed to figure out how the school would field a team. Hern couldn’t snap his fingers together and instantly deliver a squad that could compete on the football field. Starting the program took a lot of dedication from both parents and students because the athletes needed time to learn and understand the game. Rather than throw a team right out on the field, CHCA decided it was going to let its boys gain some experience. In 1995, the eighthgraders of CHCA played their first game. The following year, that same group of boys played freshmen football together. As sophomores in 1997, those eighth-graders, now high school students, took the field as CHCA’s first varsity boys’ football team. Hern admitted he was nervous when started the program, but the feelings were a result of exploring a new frontier. “When you start something, you worry about whether it is going to grow and prosper,” he said. Hern, who coached the team in its first seven years of existence, knew there would be growing pains to start the 1997 campaign. He said he wouldn’t have been surprised if the Eagles went 0-10. Instead, the boys won two games. The next year they went 6-4; they haven’t

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Remembering coach Bron
I saw Coach Bron Bacevich’s name mentioned in a local paper this week and it brought back so many good memories. When I was working with youth football with Harry Goedde, Bron would always come out to talk with the players and coaches. I remember him telling the players that the helmet was to wear on their head and it was not something to sit on or throw. One thing that alway stuck with me when he talked with the coaches, when you have sixthgrade-and-under football team it’s a must to play all the kids on your team and that doesn’t mean the last three minutes. If you run the ball to the right, why can’t you play some kids on the left side then and not wait for the last minute of the game. They wouldn’t hurt you at that point. Coaches can have a 20-, 30- ,40-point lead in the fourth quarter and some players have not been in the game with 15 of their family members there, it has cost the parent $250 for fees and equipment and all. I sure hope no coach tells me this is teaching the kids. I’m sure Bron would agree with me if he was here today. Gene Pitman Stanwin Place Evendale
Wilson stands for change
Over the past few weeks, there have been numerous articles and columns written and published in the Tri-County Press supporting Connie Pillich. Subsequently, I choose to write and express why I will be voting for Mike Wilson in November. First, it has become increasingly clear that both Republicans and Democrats are doing a poor job of representing the common citizens; they are representing themselves and their parties’ interests. As a result, it is time for a change. Second, I believe in the three basic tenets of the Tea Party – fiscal responsibility, limited government and free markets. There is little fiscal responsibility in government today; moneys are spent freely and carelessly on far too many projects and initiatives with

More specifically, Mike Wilson is motivated to: 1, improve the tax and regulatory climate in Ohio so that businesses can create jobs and fuel recovery of Ohio’s economy (i.e., eliminate the estate tax which incents entrepreneurs to leave the state while raising very little revenue); 2, improve educational results by introducing competition for schools; 3, fight back against an out-of-control federal government (i.e., support nullification legislation of the unconstitutional individual mandate contained in the federal health care bill), and, 4, facilitate increased transparency in government (i.e., require state agencies to create a searchable database of state expenditures). It is time for a positive change in our government and the lives of common citizens. Thomas Elsbrock Capricorn Drive Montgomery
Budget needs tough choices
Nineteen months ago, I entered the realm of politics because I believed that our system was broken. I was frustrated with politicians that didn’t read the bills they voted on and that distorted the truth as a matter of course. When I founded the Cincinnati Tea Party, I made a commitment to be different and to make sure that what was said in the name of me or the Tea Party was true. It is disappointing that State Rep. Connie Pillich does not hold herself to the same high standard. In her letter to the editor on Sept. 1, she makes many inaccurate statements that are unfortunately all too typical of the political process.
Deadline: Noon Friday E-mail: tricountypress@ communitypress.com Fax: 248-1938 U.S. mail: See box below Letters, columns and articles submitted to The Tri-County Press may be published or distributed in print, electronic or other forms. “According to Wilson: Never mind the national recession” – My essay focused on our relative competitiveness to other states and started by listing our national rankings for unemployment (43rd) and GDP per capita (33rd). Yes there is a national recession, but it has hit Ohio much worse because of the poor decisions of our leaders. “Despite the fact that the previous state budget totaled $52.5 billion and the current state budget totaled $50.5 billion, Wilson claims Ohio increased spending.” – I maintain that claim because Pillich is being misleading by quoting the general revenue fund numbers instead of all state spending. State budgeting is done biennially. Fiscal years 20082009 had total spending of $101.1 billion. Fiscal years 20102011 are estimated to spend $112.3 billion – an increase of 10 percent. “However after cutting more than $2 billion in state spending, we faced the possibility of cutting funding to our local schools.” – I’ve already addressed the distortion of the falsely claimed spending cuts, but it is rich for her to imply that she preserved funding for schools. Pillich voted for House Bill 1, which reduced state support for local school funding (federal stimulus funds offset the decrease, but cannot be counted on for the long term) for the very first time since the DeRolph decision in 1997. I won’t attack her for voting to cut the state support since tough decisions needed to be made. The problem is that the changes to the funding formula penalized our more efficient and effective schools. Private schools which spend much less per pupil were

cut proportionally greater as were effective local public school districts such as Sycamore, Wyoming and Princeton. We can fix Ohio, but we have to face the facts to do it. The nonpartisan Tax Foundation ranks Ohio 43rd in state/local tax burden, and 47th in business tax climate. In her response, Pillich did not address my criticism of balancing the budget with one-time gimmicks, nor did she signal any sort of plan for dealing with the estimated $8 billion deficit we will face in fiscal years 2011-2012 because of the current leadership’s irresponsibility. Raising taxes is not an option if we want Ohio to be more competitive. I will make the tough choices to reduce spending, balance our budget, and bring jobs back to Ohio.

Fiscal fiction
That was quite a letter from State Rep. Connie Pillich that was printed in the Sept. 1 of Northeast Suburban Life. Removing a couple of deepfried Twinkies from an existing, obesely-bloated state budget banquet is an amazing feat. Much like me raking my leaves in midNovember by picking up one oak leaf and dropping it in a waste basket. Nevertheless, I have a question for Ms. Pillich: How do you reconcile your claims of “fiscal conservative” and “I’m not fiscally irresponsible” with your campaign several years ago to have the city of Montgomery purchase the land on Montgomery Road so as to benefit just a few residents at what would have been a great and unwarranted expense to everyone else? It can be much more instructive to see what a politician runs from as opposed to what he or she runs on. This November’s election, as well as the 2012 election, can finally reverse a trend of out-of-

Aug. 25 questions
Communities involved in the Connecting Active Communities Coalition are looking at ways to make bicycling consistent across municipalities. Do you think it is a good idea to encourage bicycles as a mode of transportation? Why or why not? “In response to J.M.’s Sept. 1 Chatroom answer to the question: ‘Is it a good idea for communities to encourage bicycles as a mode of transportation?’
“In answer to J.M.: Dear sir or madam, It is with some interest with which I read your considered opinion. I believe your reasoning to be flawed because of the ambiguity of the law as it applies to the issue of ‘bicyclists seem to think they own the road.’ “I understand your frustration, but we bicyclists have our own issues with the very rule of the road which you have pointed out – stay as far right as possible.” Most of us endeavor to do just that, but often the edge of a road is unsafe for proper control of our bikes. In addition, that same rule of the road states that bicyclists should not ride more than two abreast. That means at least half or more of a lane will be occupied by bicyclists. Do you see the flaw in the wording? “Here, to me, is a common sense interpretation of the rules of the road and what I practice when I ride: Ride to the right in your lane. Allow extra room for motorists to pass, but establish to the motorists that you are indeed traveling in that lane. Be seen, is the watchword. Over the many

control spending, taxation and entitlements. Whether a candidate is a Democrat, which Ms. Pillich conveniently neglects to mention, or a Republican, it is time to really hold some feet to the fire. Ad hominem attacks on the Tea Party or Gov. Howard Dean’s “lost souls” comment or the lunatic rantings of the media fools on MSNBC do little to help. This is rightfully a time of anti-incumbency. Remember which candidates are the incumbents and who have a checkered past with respect to fiscal responsibility. In the future, you may have to answer to your grandchildren as to where you stood, and how you acted, when you had the opportunity to take a stand against fiscal fecklessness and perfidy.

Bring people back to state
I read with interest the recent letter to the editor from State Rep. Connie Pillich (Sept. 1 Tri-County Press). I’ve recently met with Connie in Lockland and discussed the fact that more than 500,000 people have left Ohio in the last 12 years according to the U.S. Census. This will result in us losing two congressional districts in the upcoming years. One of the major reasons people are leaving is the antiquated tax policies of Ohio. According to the 2010 Tax Foundation report Ohio has the fourth worst economic and tax climate in the United States (only California, New Jersey and New York are worse). While Ms. Pillich works hard legislating every possible thing she can – except jobs and a better tax policy – people are leaving this great state. For every one of these citizens that leaves Ohio each of your readers tax bills will go up. What we need in Ohio is a limited government that provides value to the citizens.

Deer Park woman named Big Sister of the year Terri Wallace and Corey Lee have become so close over the last nine years that they’ve become part of each other’s families. Wallace, a Deer Park resident, first met Corey through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati in 2001. She said they enjoyed playing sports together, like golf and laser tag. As Corey grew older, Wallace said their friendship also grew. “It seemed more like I was a friend and a mentor rather than an actual sibling,” Wallace said. She said her family has accepted Corey, and her neices and nephews all consider Corey their cousin. Corey’s mom even calls Wallace her “daughter.” Wallace said working with Corey, who is now headed to Cincinnati State this fall, has helped her just as much as it has helped him. “I feel that as much as I
helped him become a grown-up, he helped me to do the same thing,” Wallace said. “Having never had kids of my own, I borrow them, and having Corey in my life has really helped me to become more mature.” Wallace first got involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters when she lived in Santa Cruz, CA. She was named Big Sister of the Year this year by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati. “Working with Big Brother Big Sisters has given me the wonderful feeling of giving something back to someone specific, not just the feeling of giving to a nameless person through a general charity,” Wallace said. “I get to see first-hand how much Corey has grown and can be proud that I helped him to become the man he is now.” For details about Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati, contact the group at 421-4120 or www.bigsforkids.org.

As promised in July, this is an interview with one of the integral members of the Tri County Players. Sharon Rose Tyahur was born in Jenkins, KY. As the Evelyn first baby delivered Perkins at Sharon Heights Hospital after the Community nuns took it over, it Press was appropriate to columnist name her for the facility and for Sister Rose. The family moved to Sharonville the Christmas of her kindergarten year, when Princeton held kindergarten in the church on Main Street. Sharon immediately caught measles. To soften her southern accent, and because she was shy, her teacher encouraged her to speak more. The family lived in an old farmhouse where the baseball diamond is currently located at the community center. Back then, things were quiet and calm and Sharon could walk to Sharonville School. I suppose when you come from a family of purposeful people, you are bound to be that way yourself. At one time, the entire family was in uniform – they were all Scouts. Sharon’s mother was the district chair, her dad was a scoutmaster, she was a senior Girl Scout and her two brothers were a Cub Scout and a Boy Scout. Sharon she was camp counselor at Ross Trails and we talked of our days at Camp Butterworth. Her paternal grandparents came from Austria. After Sharon’s grandfather settled in America, he returned to Austria, and brought back her grandmother and settled in Pennsylvania. During those days, women just didn’t divorce their husbands, but Sharon’s grandmother was a progressive woman who had the gumption to move on from an untenable situation. Accustomed to the Russian alphabet, as she grew older she became less fluent in English. Sharon studied Russian during her college freshman year so that they could communicate. Her grandma made unbelievable applesauce, and her dad’s favorite dish, sauerkraut and bean soup. Sharon’s mother learned from her, and also became a fantastic Kentucky-style cook. Sharon’s mom was the librarian at Evendale School for 14 years before
EVELYN PERKINS/CONTRIBUTOR
It’s hard to look at Sharon Rose Tyahur’s wonderful smile and imagine her as the stern Queen Mother in “The Princess and the Pea.” marrying. After Sharon’s brother was born, she went back to help out, and ended up staying another 25 years. Sharon is also a teacher, currently at Mount Healthy Preparatory and Fitness Academy. She taught English as a Second Language at The Church by the Woods in Sharonville, and even taught it to a South Korean student while in high school. She was the first alumni president. Sharon appreciates hearing from former students. She began collecting dolls in the fourth-grade when a teacher gave her a Swiss Guard doll from her trip to the Vatican. Sharon added to the collection from her own travels to the Holy Land, England, Luxembourg, Italy, Greece, Lebanon, Egypt and Israel. She now has 50 dolls from every continent except South America. Friends and relatives also contribute,
and her mother used to keep them on display in the Evendale library. Possessing a zest for life and all its experiences, she danced the Charleston and performed in a WWII vignette during Sharonville’s bicentennial celebration. When a student advised her to sit in a rocking chair and knit, she retorted that she loves riding motorcycles. The theater with its rehearsals, costumes and make-up is another favorite. Last year my granddaughter and I watched her performance as the Queen Mother in “The Princess and the Pea.” There is much more to Sharon Rose’s life, including Tai Chi, but her friends already know that.

How many friends does truth have in our lives? Truth often seems difficult to find. That’s not because it wants to be so, but because we need it to be so. Humans can’t stand too much reality at a time. Imagine our chagrin if we actually knew the truth about ourselves, our weaknesses, unworthy motives and pretenses. Think of the trouble we would experience if we tried to speak the truth to everyone. A current Geico TV ad about truthful Abe Lincoln depicts our dilemma. Lincoln is asked by his wife, “Do you think this dress makes me look too fat?” He looks, silently struggles, anxiously fidgets, then holds his thumb and forefinger an inch apart… and she leaves
the room in a huff. We hide from the truth. Oh, we do permit ourselves to know some of the truth as long as it’s agreeable to what we already think and treats us favorably. Mostly we’re easy receptors today of lies, greased words and half truths. As the American Melting Pot expands and becomes even more diverse, we are reminded of our founder’s desire that we be a nation of tolerance toward each other as we search for the truth in our lives. Most of us try hard to be tolerant. This means that we deal with others and their beliefs respectfully. G.K. Chesterton once remarked, “I can have regard for someone else’s
belief, as I would their pet, without being expected to take it home with me.” Being tolerant does not mean each of us can’t hold to what we have good reason to believe is truth. When our ego becomes too narcissistic, we take it personally if someone else believes differently. We insist they bend their conviction to align with ours. Tragically, violence and religious wars have been waged to accomplish that. What was needed was respectful discussion and openness. When we sincerely believe we hold something of truth, we naturally want to share it with others (as we do all good things.) In this sharing, two factors are
Kings Island looking for frightening folks Kings Island is looking for demented souls to terrorize the labyrinths and demonic dwellings of our Halloween Haunt. Take part in the bloodcurdling horror, mind-bending terror and nightmarish madness of Halloween Haunt 2010. Interviews must be done in person at the park and are held without appoint-

Interviews will take place Saturdays and Sundays through Sepr. 12 from noon until 5 p.m. Applicants must be at least 16 years old.

Gates to the underworld for Halloween Haunt will be open from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. every Friday and Saturday night Sept. 24 through Oct. 30.
to be kept in mind. First, the most powerful way of sharing what we believe to be of truth is to live it in our daily lives. It’s said that as St. Francis of Assisi lay dying, he told his followers gathered around his bed to, “Preach the gospel everywhere, and if necessary, use words.” The second factor in trying to share what we perceive as truth, is not just to tell the truth, but to tell the truth in love. This means to tell it with concern not only for the truth that is being told, but with concern also for the people to whom it is being told. For everyone to whom we speak carries their own experiences and dreams,
fears and doubts, anxieties and beliefs on their backs the way a snail carries his shell. Tolerance means acknowledging and respecting theirs and our own. Author J. Ruth Gendler compares “Truth to a good thief who steals illusions and replaces them with what is real and precious. He can climb over any security fence we have constructed to keep out disturbing influences. And although he can unlock any window or door, he is not interested in breaking in or getting away. He insists on being welcomed and invited to stay.” Truth is closer to us than we realize, especially in our silent times. He is always
there lingering in the long pauses Father Lou between Guntzelman difficult Perspectives questions and possible answers, between our uncertainties and perceived certainties, between the beliefs of one person and the differing beliefs of another. Truth is willing to wait at long time for us. The one thing that Truth will not do is stay away with us without being treasured and loved.

You’ll go cuckoo for coconut-date-almond granola It’s official. For the most part, the kids, at least those attending elementary and high school, are in full session now. It won’t be long before they get into the routine that school days bring. So starting them out with a good breakfast is key. There are always those kids, though, who just don’t want to eat breakfast. If that’s the case at your house, try this chunky granola recipe and even if they run out the door with a handful to eat on the go, it’s better than no breakfast at all.
Chunky granola with dates, coconut, almonds
I like this as a breakfast cereal or over frozen yogurt. 2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup w h o l e almonds 1 ⠄2 cup e a c h : f l a k e d coconut and raw cashews Rita or nuts of Heikenfeld y o u r Rita’s kitchen choice 1 ⠄2 cup packed brown sugar or bit more to taste 1 teaspoon ground allspice 2-3 teaspoons cinnamon 1 ⠄4 cup butter 3 tablespoons honey 1 cup pitted dates, each cut crosswise into thirds or chopped coarsely Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix oats, almonds, coconut, cashews, brown sugar, allspice and cinna-
mon together. Melt butter and honey and pour over granola mixture, blending well. Spread on sprayed baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add dates, mix to separate any clumps. Continue to bake until golden brown, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes or so more. Store airtight at room temperature, or freeze for up to six months.
Bravo’s dipping sauce
I’ve had so many requests for this I lost count. Carol Ryan found this in Bravo’s cookbook. Carol said she didn’t discard all of the herbs. “I added the herbs to the oil, and added more garlic,� she wrote. 1
â „4 cup Canola oil

⠄2 tablespoon dried rosemary, thyme, and basil 1 ⠄2 oz. sun dried tomatoes softened in five tablespoons boiling water for five minutes (see tip below) 1 teaspoon chopped garlic 1 tablespoon salt 11⠄2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 ⠄2 teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon parsley 31⠄4 cups olive oil In saucepan, bring oil and herbs to a simmer. Lower heat and simmer three minutes, then strain oil and discard herbs. Add tomatoes, garlic, tomato paste, salt and pepper to Canola oil. PurÊe 15 seconds. Add parsley and olive oil, blend additional five seconds. Tip from Rita’s kitchen: A half an ounce equals a tablespoon.

black bean soup. When I returned to Cinci, I could never find black bean soup at any local restaurant, Recently found it at Panera’s and it is comparable to what I have come to love. “It’s like the one I make – minus the sherry addition. It’s the sherry addition, dollop of sour cream on top and a twist of lemon on top of the sour cream which is the final touch that makes this soup outstanding.� 4 cans (15 oz. each) black beans 3 slices, rough chopped bacon, sliced – DO NOT COOK 1 tablespoon olive oil 12 oz. beer 1 ⠄2 cup water 1 tablespoon dry sherry 3 ⠄4 cup diced onions 1 ⠄2 cup green peppers, diced 2 tablespoons garlic, diced 1 ⠄4 teaspoon cumin 2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce To taste - Adobe seasoning, salt and pepper
Heat oil in a pot on medium heat. Add chopped bacon and sautĂŠ for 1 minute. Add peppers, onions and garlic. SautĂŠ for approximately two minutes. Do not let garlic brown or burn. Add beer and Tabasco sauce and bring to a boil. Add three cans beans with their juice and bring back to a boil. Add cumin. Using a kitchen blender, puree the soup until smooth. (Will probably have to do this in batches). Add remaining 1 can beans and bring back to boil. Add sherry and season to taste with salt and pepper, and Adobe seasoning if desired. Simmer a little while so soup will cook down some. When warming up, add water to your preference. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on top, topped with a lemon twist.

Chinese fossils now on JCC hosts Marc Rossio for Community Arts Center Day display at Cincinnati Museum Center Four authentic fossils recently discovered in the Henan Province of China are now on display at Cincinnati Museum Center through early October. A rib and two vertebrae comprise the partial remains of a titanosaur sauropod, a prehistoric giant named after the mythological Titans from Ancient Greece, dating to the early Cretaceous Period approximately 144 to 100 million years ago. Paleontologists assigned by the Chinese Academy of Sciences from the Institute of Vertebrate Palentology and Paleoanthropology uncovered the fossils with the help of local residents. The remains were used to identify a new species of sauropod, Huanghetitan ruyangensis, which is unique to the Henan region. The fossils are on display at Museum Center. A fossilized Macroenlongatoolithus nest is also on display. The nest, perhaps the most spectacular fossil of its kind in the world, contains 26 eggs arranged in pairs, likely laid by an unknown species of oviraptorosaur, a feathered dinosaur that inhabited modern day Asia and North America and resembled a primitive, flightless bird. The fossil also was discovered in Henan Province. The fossils highlight Museum Center's international partnership with Henan Geological Museum. The exhibit features 12 large fossils from Ruyang County in Henan Province – a region known for its rich collection of dinosaur fossils. “Dinosaur Bones: Titans of the Ruyang” not only displays unique and recent dinosaur discoveries, but also tells the story of the human, economic and cul-
tural aspects of the place where these bones were found,” said DaoPing Bao, president and CEO of Dinosaurs Unearthed. “They (the fossils) represent the fascinating discoveries that are still being unearthed today that teach us about new species and enhance our knowledge about dinosaurs and how they lived.” Cincinnati Museum Center previously collaborated with Dinosaurs Unearthed in 2009 when it featured the Dinosaurs Unearthed exhibit – one of the top selling exhibits in Museum Center history. “Dinosaurs Unearthed and Cincinnati Museum Center have developed a partnership in promoting, booking, staging and enhancing key exhibits,” said Sandy Shipley, chief of staff and vice president exhibits at Cincinnati Museum Center. “Museum Center brings expertise in designing and fabricating interactive exhibits that appeal to children and families and add to the interpretation of the dynamic, animated dinosaurs, the real fossils, and other graphic information.” The Henan fossils will be on display until mid October, when they will then be added to Titans of the Ruyang. Visitors can view the fossils in the Museum of Natural History & Science. For $12.50, guests can purchase an All Museum Pass to visit Duke Energy Children's Museum, Cincinnati History Museum and the Museum of Natural History & Science. Entrance to one museum is $8.50 adults, $7.50 seniors (60+) and $6.50 children ages 3-12. Members are free.
This year, the Mayerson JCC (at 8485 Ridge Road, next to Ronald Reagan Highway, in Amberley Village) offers several free family events, and all are open to the public. The first of these free family programs at the J is noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 12, as part of the Tristate’s “Community Arts Centers Day” sponsored by the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile Jr. Foundation. The Mayerson JCC, along with 26 other community arts centers, will open their doors for free on Sunday, Sept. 12, sharing art, music, and dance activities designed to connect local communities. “On this day (Sept. 12), people all across Greater Cincinnati will have a chance to visit these wonderful neighborhood assets,” said Ruth Dickey from the Clifton Cultural Arts Center. “The Mayerson JCC promotes and produces quality arts programs throughout the year, and we’re proud to be a part of Community Arts Centers Day,”
added Courtney Cummings, JCC cultural arts coordinator. At 1 p.m. at the J, popular children’s music entertainer Marc Rossio, known as “The Marvelous Toy,” will entertain everyone with interactive songs and sing-alongs in the Amberley Room. Between 2 p.m. and 2:45 p.m., professional artist and educator Judy Workman will host a puppetmaking craft workshop for kids (ages 7 and older) in the art room. At 3 p.m., Workman will lead a greeting card art workshop for adults (ages 16 and older). All these JCC activities are free. Throughout the afternoon, guests can view artwork created by JCC program participants, campers, and Early Childhood School students, as well as take turns playing the colorful piano located at the JCC’s front entrance (part of the “Play Me, I’m Yours” program celebrating 150 years of Cincinnati Public Radio).
There will be another free family event at the J at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 3, featuring an award-winning play performed by Playhouse in the Park. The JCC is the only place where people can see this family-friendly performance for free, thanks to a generous grant from the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati. The show, entitled “Happy Worst Day Ever,” tells the story of an unlikely friendship between two sixthgraders. The play (recommended for audiences ages 7 and older) explores the character’s personal differences and opens up questions of self identity, school cliques, peer pressure, and the power of popular media. For more information about free family events at the Mayerson JCC, contact Courtney Cummings at 513.722.7226 or ccummings@mayersonjcc.org or visit www.JointheJ.org.

Taft hosts hand-cut paper installations Cincinnati artist Kristine Donnelly will unfurl her hand-cut paper installations as part of the Taft Museum of Art’s Keystone Contemporary series, which highlights work by emerging Tristate area artists. Inspired by historical decoration, wallpaper, and draperies, Donnelly’s handcutting transforms screenprinted paper into delicate structures that test the physical tolerance of the material. By printing, cutting, rolling, stretching, draping and pinning, she pushes paper to its limits. A Cincinnati native, Donnelly graduated with a master of fine arts and a master of arts in art education from the University of
