Inspired by Woods, Sawyer By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Irony that rose from tragedy at Princeton High School has blossomed into a program of support and communication for families in a district that has lost eight members over the past few years. The theme for Princeton’s 2010-2011 school year is 24/7 Princeton Pride All Day. “It started when a student walked into the cafeteria with a 24/7 shaved into his head,” according to Princeton Principal William Sprankles. The numbers represented the jerseys of two students who had died in the past eight months. Jovante Woods, a football player, died recently after suffering an asthma attack. He wore No. 24. Ryan Sawyer, who played football and basketball, died last December in a car accident. He wore No. 7. “It feels like we deal with this all day long,” Sprankles recalled the student saying of the tragedies. “Even if it doesn’t have a direct impact, students grieved, and saw staff members grieving,” Sprankles said. Instead of letting that negative energy take control, Sprankles said the school decided to channel it into something positive. “Let’s celebrate 24/7 instead of grieving 24/7,” Sprankles said of the constant emotion. “We decided to celebrate and honor all fallen Vikings,” he said. “And you do that all day long.” To do that, Sprankles said Princeton has several modes of communication to stay in constant touch with families. The school has a Facebook account, and can be found on Twitter. Families can receive text

Princeton’s losses

Princeton High School Principal William Sprankles listed eight people students and staff have mourned over the past several years: • Jovante Woods, student; • Ryan Sawyer, student; • Bill Brewer, coach; • Ray Bauer, former principal; • Jeff Ross, student; • Guadalupe Carillo-Campa, graduate; • Amber Robinson, former student, and • Andy Caress, graduate and brother of Princeton teacher Rob Caress.

The school’s news station has also adopted the theme, offering Princeton information around the clock, and students can be seen walking through the halls wearing 24/7 T-shirts.

On the back of the shirt, the Viking horns have been turned upside down, to make them resemble angel’s wings. And on the field, the football players have taught other athletes a new chant: “We go hard, 24/7, one love.” “The entire gymnasium will be

rocking to the chant,” Sprankles said. Sydney Trout, a mental health counselor at Princeton, said the theme is a reminder to students. “This is another way we are showing we are a family at Princeton,” she said. “We want to provide support after the losses that have occurred.” “If they stand united 24/7,” Sprankles said, “they have a support system to lean on.”

Wyoming seeks senior partners By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Wyoming’s Senior Commission is looking for senior citizens who want to pair with a local teen in a program that benefits both generations. The program, called Generations Together, completed its first full school year in May. It has brought together residents who have helped each other in practical ways, and developed friendships. Students help with household chores, and the seniors can become mentors. The time spent together, shar-

ing stories, watching sporting events or doing other activities, has created bonds that wouldn’t otherwise have an opportunity to grow. Students typically spend an hour or two at the senior residents home once a week, though that’s at the discretion of the pair. “I like being paired with someone who is from a completely different age group and has a lifetime of knowledge and experience to share, to further improve my outlook on people and on life,” said Jeff Kessler, a student in the program. “The benefits of having a teen helper are that the senior citizen has someone to help with jobs

46th annual Glendale fair starts at runner’s pace

By Kelly McBride

Glendale’s signature event will start off running, as the 46th annual Street Fair begins with a 5K race through the village. The Sept. 25 event will include music, food and vendors, but will look different from years past. Organizer Janet Lawson said it begins with extended hours. The race starts at 11 a.m., with the festival opening at noon and running until 9 p.m. Bands and DJs will provide music throughout the day, Lawson said, and will include a quartet from Landmark Baptist Temple, which will perform during the opening ceremony. Craft beer, wine and food will be sold from vendors such as the Cock and Bull, Friendly Stop, Iron Horse,

Piazza-Discepoli, Daveed’s and Skyline Chili. Shops throughout the Village Square, including Century House, Smith Jewelers, Calista B’s and the Village Gift Shop will be open during the fair, as well. Though construction work to renovate the Village Square will not be complete, seating will be added to both ends of the square, overlooking the bands, as well as the main area of the festival. Horse carriage rides through historic Glendale will be available, and activities such as glass blowing, face painting and sand art will be offered. “The enhancements we are making this year will really showcase the village,” Lawson said. “It’s a great way to introduce what Glendale has to offer to our surrounding communities.”

The village of Evendale is one step closer to offering gas aggregation for residents. Village council approved an ordinance to allow an agreement between the village and Integrys Energy Services to negotiate prices and a contract for gas aggregation. Jack Cameron, assistant to the mayor, said the ordinance allows the village to use Integrys as a consultant. Pricing for gas aggregation could come as early as December. Cameron said there are also two upcoming public hearings that are still needed before the village is certified for gas aggregation. No dates have been set yet for those hearings. Village residents approved an issue on the May ballot for village officials to explore aggregation

Sharonville piano puts public in composer’s seat By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Sharonville’s inclusion in a traveling public art display was music to the ears of fine arts supporters. “Play Me, I’m Yours,” in which Cincinnati Public Radio supporters made available 42 pianos, gave residents the opportunity to decorate them and then enjoy the instrument. Children enrolled in summer camp at the Sharonville Community Center painted the piano that’s on display at Depot Square, in the heart of the city. It’s available for passersby to play a tune and sign a guest book. Shop owner Debbie Anton of Anton’s Ice Cream and Coffee has taken the responsibility of covering the piano each night and when inclement weather hits. A piano tuner visits regularly to make sure the instrument stays on key. It’s more than a musical instrument available for public use, said Sue Koetz, Sharonville’s recreation director and board member of the city’s fine arts council. “It brings the whole community together,” she said. “It fits in with our mission at the Fine Arts Center, as far as giving the public different experiences in art. “They are viewing art, and participating in art,” she said. “Everybody knows about the flying pigs and the squirrels of Glendale. This has an added feature in it that you can come up and play it.” The piano will be moved

Wyoming adds Chinese to curriculum

By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

KELLY MCBRIDE/STAFF

Wyoming Superintendent Gail KistKline looks over a scrapbook of her visit to China, where she received gifts of a rice painting, left, and a scroll written by fourth-grader Lie Yuchen.

Wyoming City Schools have added Chinese to the list of foreign languages offered at the middle and high schools, but the district is aiming for more than language lessons. Superintendent Gail KistKline, who visited China over the summer, wants to enhance those lessons with a cultural component. To that end, the district has hired a teacher independently, instead of through an agency. Agencies typically pro-

vide an instructor for one year, with a new teacher in any subsequent years that the language is offered in a school district. “We hired our own because we only have a need for part-time, and so we can have consistency,” Kist-Kline said. “That way, she can come back next year.” Chinese will be offered at Wyoming Middle School for one class of seventh- and eighth-graders, and for two sessions at Wyoming High School. The district decided to offer Chinese after parents and students expressed an

interest in the language, the superintendent said. Wyoming also offers Spanish, French and Latin. If interest grows, KistKline said Wyoming could offer a Confucius class of language and culture. An exchange program could also be added, if the district can gather private funding. “That’s a connection that’s important,” Kist-Kline said. “Developing a relationship is really important.” During her trip to Beijing, Kist-Kline found that culture and education are inter-

twined. “I learned about their education system, and what we can implement here,” she said. “You can’t just transplant the education, because it’s tied to the culture,” she said, “and some things could never work here.” Kist-Kline said she found that the arts are important in China, just as they are in Wyoming. “It was wonderful to see how the students immersed themselves,” she said. “It was also risk-taking for me to step out of my comfort zone to become more glob-

ally aware.” She said she hopes to build an exchange program. “That’s one thing that sets us apart,” Kist-Kline said. “Our students may have the opportunity to participate in a program that’s funded by the school district.” It would enhance students’ lessons in the Chinese language, as well as enhance their global awareness, she said. “It will help them develop a global connection for themselves,” she said, “so they can be prepared for the future.”

Fifth Season of problem solving excellence wraps up For the fifth straight year, the INTERalliance of Greater Cincinnati conducted multiple one-week sessions of its IT Careers Camp program in July for 20 local high school sophomores each week. One-hundred-twenty high school sophomores from 39 Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky high schools were selected to participate in this intense, behind-the-scenes, weeklong problem-solving experience hosted by the University of Cincinnati’s College of Business, Miami Universi-

ty’s School of Engineering and Applied Science or Northern Kentucky University’s College of Informatics. In each jam-packed, week-long session, four corporate-sponsored teams competed in daily “problemsolving Olympics” with the students proposing IT solutions for real-world business challenges. This year’s capstone “Technology Optimized Business Enterprise” Competition required each team to come up with a business plan for a new business

enterprise that employs people with disabilities. The TOBE Competition was designed in concert with United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Cincinnati, Abilities First in Middletown and Redwood in Ft. Mitchell, Ky. Each team’s business plan was presented to a panel of “celebrity judges” from the service agencies and corporate sponsors and included such creative new business ideas as a manufacturer of foreign language speaking animal dolls, a personalized cupcake bak-

ery and a specially equipped amusement park for people with disabilities, staffed by people with disabilities. The high schools that participated in the competition included: Cincinnati

Wyoming’s Greg Athans controls the ball while Madeira’s Stephen Walter gives chase Aug. 31. Wyoming lost to Madeira 3-1.

The Wyoming High School boys’ soccer team started the season 3-2, but the Cowboys should be even stronger in the coming weeks as some of their injures players get back in the lineup. Wyoming has had four starters go down with injuries and most of them should be back before the Sept. 14 game against Taylor. Joe Panos missed some time due to a back injury, Jamie Meranus was hurt in the 2-1 win over Walnut Hills, senior defender Noah Gilbert missed some time to injury and senior Gustav Plattenburg missed the first few weeks of the season after suffering a broken nose in a scrimmage. “We’ve been playing pretty well with the number of injuries we’ve had,” Wyoming coach Steve Thomas said. “We’ve played very well and were rated No. 1 in the city in Division II, so it’s nice to see the other coaches thought we were pretty good.” The two losses are to Lebanon and Madeira and Thomas both are respectable losses. The Cowboys have wins over

Wyoming’s Noah Gilbert keeps the ball away from a Madeira midfielder Aug. 31. Wyoming lost to Madeira 3-1. Roger Bacon, Princeton and Walnut Hills. “The Princeton win was a good boost because we were coming off the loss to Madeira and we played extremely well against Princeton,” Thomas said of the Mustangs 4-1 win Sept. 2. Wyoming has been led by Meranus, who is one of the team’s leading scorers. Sophomore Nathan Meisner is another top scorer, as he has four goals through the first five games. J.B. Heisey, Aaron Lin and Greg Athans have been the mainstay senior defenders. “They are doing an exceptional job keeping us in games,” Thomas said. Thomas said the team’s biggest strength early on has

been the team’s belief in itself. “It may sound trite but they came into the season believing we’d be competitive and compete for a league title and the guys have had the best team chemistry I’ve seen since I’ve been at Wyoming,” Thomas said. “There is no jealously or envy from any of the players. The guys have bought into the team concept and even the guys that come off the bench play just as hard.” Taylor and Mariemont are two big league games for the Cowboys and Thomas said they have to hope another team knocks off Madeira. “Our league is really competitive, but we still have a chance to win the CHL,” he said. “And we want to get a good seed in the tournament and if we’re ranked high enough in the city we will. Making at least the district final game is another goal for us.” One key for Wyoming will be improved communication on the field. Thomas described the Cowboys as “a fairly quiet team,” but that improved communication could help Wyoming play at an even higher level. “We had high expectations of winning the league and we can still do that,” he said.

Princeton football squad seeks balance By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com

The Princeton High School football team started the season with heavy hearts following the death of teammate Jovante Woods before the start of the school year. Now, three weeks into the young season, the squad’s student athletes are focused on playing winning football while the feelings of losing a teammate and friend linger. “It’s been an emotional roller coaster,” Vikings head coach Bill Leach said. The squad opened the season against Dayton Beavercreek High School and cruised to a 31-13 victory.

The game was played the day before Woods’ funeral, and according to Leach, his team didn’t need any extra motivation to win. However, the next week against Dayton Northmont High School, the team came out “flat,” Leach said. Turner said he did not know if the passing of Turner affected the Vikings during the second game. In week three, the Vikings rebounded against Glen Este High School on Sept. 10 by outscoring the Trojans 41-22. With two strong showings under its belt in three games, Leach hopes the Vikings will be able to find some consistency that will last through the season.

To achieve this fete, the Vikings will have to overcome several key injuries, according to Leach. Princeton lost defensive lineman Evan McClain for the season after the senior suffered a knee injury against Northmont. Leading rusher Darian Nelson is also banged up with ankle problems and did not play against Glen Este. His status is week-to-week, according to Leach. Demarco Thomas will be called upon to replace Nelson until he can return to his starting role. Leach is confident Thomas will be successful filling in for Nelson, despite the sophomore’s inexperience. “Demarco’s a good run-

ning back and he’s learning on the fly,” Leach said. “He’s got great moves and great feet...he’s just young and we’ve thrown him into the fire.” Thomas showed he is capable of handling the starting duties after he rushed 11 times for 93 yards and a touchdown against Glen Este. Quarterback Nate McGill’s performance will also factor heavily on how productive the Vikings offense can be. McGill’s play could rise or fall depending on the success of the running game. During the first week of action, the Vikings rushed for 201 yards. McGill was 6-of-10 passing for 48

yards and a touchdown. During the loss to Northmont, McGill was 8-of-26 passing for 52 yards while the running game only managed 18 yards. McGill completed 4-of-5 attempts for 69 yards and a touchdown while the running game racked up a season high 243 yards. Leach recognizes this correlation and believes the team will need to make a collective effort to add more victories to the win column. “We need more consistency out of the whole offense and losing Nelson didn’t help,” Leach said. “We’ve got to figure out how to run the football more effectively and get consistent with it.”

MND volleyball off to strong start By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

Mount Notre Dame High School head volleyball coach Joe Burke admits to feeling the pressure. Last year, Burke inherited a program that had won five state titles – including most recently in 2006 – and had advanced to at least the state semifinals four straight seasons. “There’s always pressure,” the second-year head coach said. “I think we put a lot of it on ourselves. We expect a lot out of ourselves as coaches, and the girls expect a lot out of themselves as players.” MND advanced to the regional final last year and fell to Dublin Coffman, which lost in the state final to Ursuline. The Cougars graduated eight players from that Elite-8 squad but return five

starters with valuable varsity experience. Those returning starters – seniors Kathleen Donnellon of Blue Ash (OH) and Janna Reilly of Mason (S), juniors Kelsey Wolf of Symmes Township (L) and Gina Frank of Middletown (MB) and sophomore Michelle Strizak of Sharonville (OH) – have led MND to a 6-0 start as of Sept. 11. “We’ve got a lot of talent and a lot of senior leadership,” Burke said. Strizak, who is transitioning from right-side hitter to outside hitter, leads the team in kills with 56, while Donnellon (28), Frank (34) and senior Megan Kavanaugh (30) have also packed offensive punch. Wolf, meanwhile, leads the defense and servereceive at libero. Other contributors include Mary Crema (Love-

land), Emma Beyer (Liberty Township), Holly Bronner (Reading), Christine Chandler (Milford), Sam Diebold (Deer Park), Rachael DiLeonardo (West Chester), Melissa Emming (West Chester), Aubree Hord (Loveland), Robyn Kerley (Loveland), Libby Pelzel (Loveland), Caitlin Shipp (Madeira) and Tess Austin (Mount Healthy). MND has wins over Centerville, Chaminade Julienne, St. Henry, Lakota West, Sycamore and, perhaps most impressively, Mother of Mercy (26-24, 25-20, 25-21) “Mercy is off to a good start,” Burke said of the 3-2 Bobcats. “None of the GGCL matches are ever easy. That’s something we’re trying to teach to the younger girls.” The Cougars hosted Ursuline in a much-anticipated showdown Sept. 14

after Community Press deadlines. The Lions are undefeated on the season and went a combined 57-1 in 2008 and 2009. MND is ranked No. 2 in the city behind Ursuline. “Ursuline is the top dog until someone knocks them off,” Burke said. “They graduated a lot of players last year, but the players who filled those spots are very good.” The Cougars will rely on their defense and will to win to carry them in matches, but Burke said they must work on consistency. “I think this could be a lights-out defense, but right now we do it in spurts; we’ll (have lapses) and let balls drop,” he said. “I’d also like us to mix it up more on offense and get all of our hitters the ball.” Still, Burke added that his team has the ability to advance to the state semifi-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Avoiding the subject

I read with great interest and some amusement State Rep. Connie Pillich’s letter, “More to budget woes than taxes,” in the Sept. 1 Tri-County Press. It seems that she was responding to her opponent’s assertion that Ohio ranks horribly in things like unemployment and GDP and that high taxes and oppressive regulations may have a lot to do with that. For most big government, big spending elected officials these kind of facts are very inconvenient things, so they simply change the subject. Ms. Pillich starts off with a current national liberal talking point that all of our woes were caused by the crooks on Wall Street. To be sure there were plenty of bad actors on Wall Street that knew they were doing wrong and I think they should be prosecuted. The actions of those morons were just a symptom of the real prob-

lem that caused the housing bubble. Nonsensical thinking by government officials that home ownership is a right and that private banks should give mortgages to unqualified people is what set us on the course to disaster. That’s what happened and everyone knows it. Pure and simple. Now this euphoric burst of fiscal responsibility that is supposedly evidenced by a $2 billion cut of the current budget is interesting. First, making cuts to a budget that is always obscenely bloated with waste, inefficiencies and a myriad of things that the taxpayers never wanted, really deserves no applause. Secondly, picking out one year of a two-year budget and ignoring what the comparison of what is actually spent from year to year is classic case of comparing apples and oranges. Lastly, we’re already faced with about an $8 billion dollar shortfall going into the next budget so if we did indeed save $2 bil-

lion this year it falls miserably short of our current economic reality in Ohio. Our state elected officials have to be ready to make real cuts in people, programs, and benefits just like we have had to do in business. Pure and simple. I would urge all of the voters in the Ohio 28th District to do two things. First recognize Connie Pillich for her service to our country. Her military commitment makes her a hero to me. Secondly, please vote for Mike Wilson to be the next state representative for the 28th district. For that job, Mike Wilson will never be a hero, but he is clearly the best choice to change the course in Ohio. Ray Warrick Business Resource Associates Reed Hartman Highway Blue Ash

It’s really disgusting that you would choose to voice such twisted facts. But since it was under an opinion column rather than any other, you can get away with it. Voting for the devil you know versus the devil you don’t and “business as usual” will not be enough for me this year. I’ve been the silent majority and I can not be silent any longer. I want a representative who will be accountable to me for the decisions being made, who has the best interests of the people of the great state of Ohio foremost in their minds when making those choices and who is not bound to lobbyists and special interest groups to support them. I want a representative who will be fiscally

Point, which attracted an estimated 100,000 visitors. Below are just a few of the many questions our employees answered during the two-day event.

Q: How does Social Security decide if I am disabled? A: For an adult to be considered disabled, Social Security must determine that you are unable to do the work you did before and unable to adjust to any other work which exists in significant numbers in the national economy. Also, your disability must last or be expected to last for at least one year or to result in death. Social Security pays only for total disability. No benefits are payable for partial disability or short-term disability (less than a year). For more information, read Disability Benefits (SSA Publication No. 0510029), available online at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/100 29.html. Q: I currently receive Social Security disability benefits. Can I still get my regular Social Security retirement benefits when I reach full retirement age? A: If you are still receiving Social Security disability benefits

Sue Denny Social Security public affairs specialist

when you reach your full retirement age, we will automatically switch you from disability benefits to retirement benefits at that point. The money amount will remain the same – we will just classify you as a retiree instead of a person with a disability.

Q: My husband is deceased. Will I be able to receive survivors benefits? A: To receive benefits, the deceased worker – in this case, the husband – must have earned the required number of Social Security credits. See below for other important information about eligibility requirements: • A widow (or widower) may be able to receive full benefits at age 65 if born before 1940. (The age to receive full benefits is gradually increasing to age 67 for widows and widowers born in 1940 or later.) Reduced widow/er benefits can be received as early as age 60. If the surviving spouse is disabled, benefits can begin as early

as age 50. • A widow (or widower) can receive benefits at any age if she takes care of the deceased worker’s child who is entitled to a child’s benefit and younger than age 16 or disabled. • A deceased worker’s former wife (or husband) who is age 60 or older (as early as age 50 if disabled) can get benefits if the marriage lasted at least 10 years. A former spouse, however, does not have to meet the age or length-ofmarriage rule if she is caring for their natural or legally adopted child who is younger than age 16 or who is disabled and also entitled based on the deceased worker’s work. The child must be the deceased worker’s former spouse’s natural or legally adopted child. For more information about survivors benefits, see Survivors (SSA Publication No. 05-10084), available online at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10084.html.

Buttress honored for supporting philanthropy

By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com

The Greater Cincinnati Foundation has given its Bridge Builder Award to attorney Christine Buttress of Blue Ash. The award recognizes a professional advisor who has been a supporter of the foundation – a philanthropic organization based in downtown Cincinnati – in multiple ways over many years. Buttress was honored at the foundation’s 2010 annual luncheon Sept. 8 at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza in downtown Cincinnati. “Chris is a great supporter of the foundation,” said Suzanne Rohlfs, director of professional advisor relations with the foundation. “She raises awareness about GCF in the community and specifically, in the professional-advisor community. “Whenever asked, she is willing to be an advocate and to speak about the benefits of charitable giving and GCF,” Rohlfs said. A grant will be made to Pro Seniors in honor of Buttress, an attorney with Graydon Head, which has offices in downtown Cincinnati, West Chester Township

and Fort Mitchell, Ky. She’s been practicing law for more than 25 years. Pro Seniors is a nonprofit organization that provides free legal help to older adults. “The Greater Cincinnati Foundation exemplifies the generosity of the citizens of our region,” Buttress said. “I am honored to be recognized by the foundation and have appreciated the opportunity to work with its many committed professionals in helping our clients achieve their philanthropic goals.” The Greater Cincinnati Foundation was established in 1963 to encourage philanthropy in eight counties in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. It provides grants and leadership in the areas of arts and culture, community and economic development, education, the environment and health and human services. “The Greater Cincinnati Foundation helps people make the most of their giving to build a better community,” said Julia Mace, the foundation’s communications officer. “We believe in the power of philanthropy to change the lives of people and communities.”

Poet Nikki Giovanni happily autographing her books for the children at St. Monica’s Recreation Center.

Famous poet shares a few words with students

Friday the 13th is supposed to bring bad luck, but on Aug. 13, the nuns from the Convent of the Sisters of the Transfiguration in Glendale must have used their goodness to frighten any bugaboos that may have been lurking about. You see, Sister Althea Augustine invited acclaimed poet and educator Nikki Giovanni and her biographer, Jinney Fowler, to visit the children at St. Monica’s Recreation Center in Lincoln Heights. Nikki and Jinney were in Cincinnati to attend the Western and Southern Women’s Tennis Tournament. Although Sister Althea is not Nikki’s godmother, as is presumed, they were teacher and student when Nikki attended St. Simon Elementary School at St. Monica’s. The day was a back-to-school event, with hot dogs, cake and punch to feed the tummies of the children who play and learn at the center. Backpacks filled with school supplies were given out to feed their minds, and Nikki was there as a special treat to feed their characters. The significance of her visit was explained by Sister Ann Margaret. She told the children that Ms. Giovanni is the recipient of more than 200 honors, the first to receive the Woman of Courage Award

and currently the Distinguished Professor of English at Virginia Tech University. A booklet about Nikki and her achievements was included in each backEvelyn pack. The students had a Perkins few things to give to Community her, too. Little girls lined up, and each in Press turn recited Nikki’s columnist gifts from God: mother, daughter, poet, friend, educator, historian, activist, writer and humanitarian. Seven others read Giovanni’s work, “A Poem for Carol,” and then presented her with a toy stuffed cat with a red ribbon around its neck, commemorating Carol the cat from the poem. Sister Althea asked the children to raise their hands if they enjoyed reading and encouraged them to make it a habit if they had not already done so. “Reading will open your minds and take you to heights beyond Lincoln Heights. It can open doors and move you to greater achievements. It is a special honor for you to meet Nikki. Her books have been translated into many languages. All of her accolades have never made her forget where she

came from, Lincoln Heights.” After attendees recited “What Shall We Choose?” Nikki spoke affectionately of her youth in Lincoln Heights. “I’m tired of Lincoln Heights being put down. The Isley Brothers are second only to the Beatles in music. Both they and actor Hari Rhodes came from Lincoln Heights. Don’t let where you are now keep you from where you want to be.” To make her point, she sang “I Believe I Can Fly.” She encouraged the children to reach beyond where they are now, and to love and care for others because it is the right thing to do. While Nikki was autographing copies of her books for the children to take home, St. Ann showed me the center’s newest attraction, “The Zoo.” It is a lovely mural of butterflies, birds, monkeys, sunflowers, climbing vines, as well as a flamingo, lion, deer, elephant and waterfall. When completed, it will boast an Arctic area for polar bears and life-size stuffed animals. At that time, Sister Ann plans to have a zoo party with a representative from the Cincinnati Zoo as a guest.

Theater awards programs combine forces Cincinnati’s two theater awards and recognition programs – the Acclaim Awards, supported by The Cincinnati Enquirer, and the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards for Theater, supported by CityBeat – announced that they will combine forces for the 2010-2011 season and beyond. The strengthened Acclaims program, with an added element now called the Cincinnati Theater Awards (CTAs), begins with the start of the new season. CityBeat’s Rick Pender and the Enquirer’s Jackie Demaline will be involved in the program, serving on judging panels and as members of the Acclaim Awards executive committee, which will manage the awards process and the annual May recognition event. Demaline, Enquirer theater critic, said, “Both the Acclaims and Cincinnati

Entertainment Awards have been committed to recognizing so many things that are outstanding about Cincinnati theater – the artists, the educators, the professionals, the amateurs – and to reaching out to the entire regional community to become a part of it. By sharing an evening of celebration with the addition of the CTAs, the Acclaims are hoping to ensure a credible and sustainable program for the future that will help keep Cincinnati theater in the spotlight locally, regionally and even nationally.” The Acclaim Awards, which began in 2004, maintain a substantial volunteer base of theater practitioners. They will continue a through-the-season recognition of excellent theater and the annual recognition event in May, handing out an Acclaim award to the

winner in each of multiple categories covering performers, technical aspects and overall productions. Acclaims recommendations during the theater season will be the nomination mechanism for awards, which will then be decided by the panelists. Other elements of the Acclaims – including the recognition of outstanding theater educators and “Rising Stars,” as well as grants for local guest Equity artists and individual theater artists – will be continued. The CTA aspect of the Acclaims will invite public input for favorite performers and productions in 10 categories focusing on nominees involved in community theater and university theater – nominations will offer choices in those two arenas for favorite actor, favorite actress, favorite musical and favorite play.

What do you call it? An affair or a betrayal? You know what a euphemism is? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something awful dressed up to look like something nice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words in sheepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing. For example, betraying the vow you made to your spouse when you were married is not called a betrayal, adultery or being unfaithful. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called, â&#x20AC;&#x153;extramarital sex,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-night stand,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;playing aroundâ&#x20AC;? or having â&#x20AC;&#x153;an affair.â&#x20AC;? A word like affair can even have a certain sophistication about it, and not only to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Desperate Housewives.â&#x20AC;? Some studies suggest almost half of husbands are unfaithful at some point in their marriage. Women are less to be unfaithful, but researchers admit theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not really sure about that because women are better at concealing it and are less likely to own up to it. Why are we so blasĂŠ about the

most sacred and serious vow we make in our lives? What are the possible motives? Some are: wanting to feel desired or young Father Lou or free; a narcisGuntzelman sistic ego seeking Perspectives grandiosity; looking for more emotional intimacy and warmth; wanting to rebel, humiliate or punish the other, or to prove youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve still got it; seeking pleasure without personal and emotional involvement; trying to alleviate loneliness; acting out an envy which thinks every other couple is more sexually fulfilled, so why not me? It can also be a way to deny the

coming of middle age, or to regain the thrill of early romance, and so on. Author Ruth Houston says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women are usually looking for emotional fulfillment and men are looking for sex. Women tend to do it as a last resort after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried everything else, but their words have fallen on deaf ears.â&#x20AC;? Psychologist David Wexler says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Men feel alive and worthy when they look into the eyes of a partner and see love, delight and respect mirrored back. A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;broken mirrorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constant view.â&#x20AC;? The joining of two people in marriage is founded upon a mutual exchange of holy pledges. These are the only true vows that most people will ever make. A vow differs from a mere prom-

ise or a resolution. A vow is not like the signing of a legal document nor is it like any other human promise. As author Mike Mason puts it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A vow is, per se, a confession of inadequacy and an automatic calling upon the only adequacy there is, which is the mercy and power of God. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To keep a vow means not just to keep from breaking it, but rather to devote the rest of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life to discovering what the vow means, and to be willing to change and grow accordingly.â&#x20AC;? Marital unfaithfulness brings some temporary pleasures but also a spreading dishonesty and guilt â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially if one has thought of oneself as an honest person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awfully easy to lie when you know you are trusted implicitly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and so very degrading,â&#x20AC;? said Laura

in the movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brief Encounter.â&#x20AC;? Despite the casualness with which some brush off their infidelities or excuse a â&#x20AC;&#x153;casual fling,â&#x20AC;? it is deeply disturbing to the cheatedupon spouse. It means that something important is lost and gone from the marriage, perhaps forever. The trust, the love, the many dreams that were shared when the vows were first made, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shine as brightly anymore â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, in pain, one wonders if they ever will.

Smart idea to check out used car before buying it There are several steps to take in order to protect yourself when buying a used car. I continue to receive several complaints each month from used car buyers who complain the vehicle doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work correctly and the dealer wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything about it. They fail to realize often the dealer is not obligated to do so. If the vehicle is sold â&#x20AC;&#x153;As Isâ&#x20AC;? it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to be roadworthy. Lawrence Bailey of Forest Park was looking for an oldermodel Mercedes Benz, saw one advertised, and went to the used car dealer offering it for sale. While taking it for a test drive he noticed several problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lights on the dashboard came on. They said they would take care of those things and I could pick the car up the next day,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said.

Bailey agreed to p a y $4,300 for the vehicle and the next day drove it off lot. On Howard Ain the his way Hey Howard! home he noticed the odometer was not moving and called the dealership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The salesman said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you give me $75 to $125, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put another one in there and we just wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charge you labor,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. Bailey said he was not at all happy with that response, nor with the black paint that was washing off the back of the car with the first rain. The ad for the car said it was black, so did the key chain tag â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the sales contract said it was slate gray. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

that slate gray color that was now coming through under the black paint. The biggest problem for Bailey is he relied on the odometer statement he received from the dealer stating the vehicle had 158,000 miles on it. The statement failed to disclose the odometer could be wrong. No one really knows how many miles are on the car, but Bailey suspects there could be a lot more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have it listed as 158,413, but I later found some documents in the glove box that said it was over 200,000 miles,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. He found that reading on a transmission repair receipt dated three years ago. In addition, there were service stickers on the inside of the front door that stated the car had been serviced long after it had traveled 158,000

miles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would just like my money back and not even deal with it any further,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. If the documents with the car are correct, the odometer has been rolled back â&#x20AC;&#x201C; possibly in order to get a higher sale price. The car salesman tells me he was unaware there were any odometer problems at the time of sale.

Bailey complained to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and state officials at first treated it as a broken odometer. After I contacted them, and explained about the possible odometer rollback, officials have decided to take another look at the complaint. To avoid such problems, I suggest getting a Carfax report before buying a used car. Bailey said he did ask the

dealer for one before he bought the Mercedes but was told the dealer couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get one. In addition, get the car checked out by an independent certified mechanic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know what items need checking.

Life

Enjoy beginning of fall with end-of-garden soup No matter how much time I allow for cleaning the house and cooking the food when we have people over, I always wind up with more to do than I thought. And I always like to mop the kitchen floor before our guests come. My husband, Frank, thinks I’d be less stressed if I paid less attention to the floor. “No one ever looks at the floor,” he tells me. Well, that may be true, but I do and I admit I’m obsessive about it getting mopped. I wonder how many of you feel the same way?

End of garden zucchini, corn and sausage soup

I’m still getting decent peppers from the garden, although with this heat and lack of rain, they are very thin-walled. I found this out when I diced a bunch of them for the freezer. But their flavor is still good, and I used two of the smaller red bell peppers for this soup. I got this recipe from my friend, Batavia reader Bert

Villing, who received it from Sue, one of our colleagues. I think Bert called it “zucchini sausage soup.” I changed the name since I made several adaptations to it. Her original recipe used 2 cups celery, 1⁄2 teaspoon each of the basil and oregano, and no chickpeas, corn or broth. Next time I’ll add a minced garlic clove or two along with the onions and celery. 1 pound Italian sausage 1 cup diced onion 1 cup diced celery or more to taste 1 large bell pepper, diced 1 teaspoon each: dry basil and oregano

28 oz. canned diced tomatoes with juice (can also substitute 4 cups fresh) 14.5 oz. can chickpeas or canellini beans, drained Frozen corn (I used my own, about 2 cups) 3 generous cups diced squash (I used patty pan that Bert gave me) Chicken broth if necessary Parmesan cheese Salt and pepper to taste Brown sausage, drain off fat. Add onions, celery and bell pepper, and cook several minutes, until onions start to turn translucent. Add everything else but broth. Cook, covered, at a simmer for about 30 minutes until veggies are tender.

If you want, add broth and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with plenty of Parmesan.

Let cool and store at room temperature for a couple of weeks, or freeze for three months.

Easy maple nut granola

Close to Outback’s bleu cheese vinaigrette

I just put a chunky granola recipe in the column last week, but I had a request for a “real healthy, real easy” granola with only oats and nuts that doesn’t call for lots of oil or butter and no white sugar. Here’s one that is delicious over Greek yogurt and bananas. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

The requests for this keep popping up. Now Outback, as far as I know, makes just about everything from scratch – that’s why the food is so good. I did find out (and don’t ask how!) that they use olive oil, Danish bleu cheese, vinegar, seasonings and fresh basil. This is as close as I can get to it.

3 cups old-fashioned or quick (not instant) oatmeal 2 ⁄3 cup any chopped nut you like, or a combination of two Couple dashes salt 2 tablespoons canola 1 ⁄3 cup pure maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix together: 1

⁄4 cup olive oil ⁄4 cup white wine vine-

gar Several dashes balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon sour cream or less to taste Leaves from a couple sprigs of fresh basil (go to taste and chop) Salt and pepper, to taste 1 ⁄2 cup crumbled Danish bleu or other bleu cheese plus more for garnish Candied pecans: I just toss some pecans with melted butter, a shake of cinnamon and a bit of sugar. I roast them in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes.

Mix oats, nuts and salt together. Stir in oil, syrup and vanilla and mix well. Pour onto sprayed cookie sheet. Bake about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Sharonville artist shows unique technique J.C. Hall’s first solo exhibit of works painted in his “Lineillism” style will open with an Artist Reception from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 24. at the Sharonville Fine Arts Gallery, 11165 Reading Road, 45241. “Lineillism,” introduced by the post impressionist painter in 2002, is the application of paint in vertical lines that blend together when viewed from a distance. The show will run through Oct. 24. Gallery hours are daily from 10a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information call 563-6885 or e-mail artist1932@aol.com. Hall’s art training began in Los Angeles, where he studied at UCLA under Joe Devarian. His work has been shown in Southern

California (Laguna Beach, Santa Monica, Westwood, Los Angeles) and regional galleries such as: Miller Gallery, Hyde Park, Louisville Thor Gallery, Harriet Crane Gallery, Jamar Gallery, Drew Gallery and Gallery of Suzanne. Hall is also a past president of The Alliance of Professional Artists of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. In 1963 J.C. moved his family to Cincinnati. In the 1990s, he experimented with his art by adding vertical lines to create a desired effect. “Later, I considered what a scene would look like in all vertical strokes, similar to pointillism, except with lines instead of dots,” Hall said. He tried to create such a painting over a period of several months, and was

unhappy with the results because he found it too difficult to master. Hall adds, “Because it was so difficult, I wanted to master it.” Currently, he paints and teaches at his Sharonville studio, which opened in 1991. He completed the first lineillism painting in 2001, titled, “Outer Banks.” He kept copious notes and the technique was born. “I choose the subject matter for lineillism based on two things; I want the scene to be inviting and I want it to be very difficult to do so I learn something from every painting,” Hall said. Since showing them for the very first time in 2002, Hall has painted exclusively in lineillism. Described by the Cincinnati Enquirer as “perhaps

the newest technique since impressionism,” the exclusive use of vertical lines throughout Hall’s “Lineillism” paintings create an exciting tension between the shapes and forms and the direction of the painted lines. There will be 37 paintings in the show, including the first lineillism “Outer Banks.” “I see this show as the highlight of my 60 year art career. In addition to finding happy homes for my art, I’m looking forward to teaching this technique to students,” Hall said.

One woman’s case of Sea Monkey mania Marsie Hall Newbold Marsie’s Menagerie

“National Sea-Monkey Day” sounded like a good excuse for a party because I adore Sea-Monkeys. So, I went out to the kitchen to check on mine. Problem is, they were gone. Well, not exactly gone. They were probably still technically there, lying beneath the silt, but their teeny-tiny little souls had gone to that big “Ocean Zoo” up in the sky. I held the plastic tank up to the light, peering through the built-in magnifying portholes, searching for signs of life. Finding none, I carried them to the bathroom for a fitting “burial at sea.” Our cocker spaniel, Nipper, supervised, tail wagging the entire time. Being the jealous sort, he’d never much cared for them anyway. My husband Tom who knows me better than anyone, knew I wouldn’t be satisfied until I had another batch; so that very afternoon he took me to JosephBeth Booksellers’ children’s section where the last set came from. Tom knows that I would prefer receiving Sea-Monkeys over roses any day of the week. The are much

more romantic. That’s one of the advantages of being married to a “nerdy professor type.“ They love to experiment! It’s something we can do as a couple. And mixing powder with water to create pin-prick sized pseudo-primates certainly qualifies in my book. (Even though he has to lay out all of the ingredients and tools first, then read the directions twice before we can proceed, it is kind of cute to watch him in action.) How did I end up at this point? Where did this Sea Monkey mania begin? Well, pull up a chair, dear reader because I’m going to tell you. When I was a child, there were colorful ads in the back of comic books advertising Sea Monkeys. “Enter the wonderful world of amazing live Sea-Monkeys!” they crowed. “Just add Sea-Monkey eggs to prepared water, look in the bowl and see LIVE BABY SEA-MONKEYS (Artemia) swimming around! Now simply grow and enjoy the most adorable, entertaining pets you’ve ever owned!” What kid could resist? Certainly not me. I’ve always been easily manipulated by the media. So I clearly remember cutting that little coupon out from

That was when I was nine years old. Who knew that forty years later I’d still be reconstituting those darned “instant life” eggs and waiting with bated breath for them to hatch? There had to be something pretty special about them. Right? No. It turns out that the darned things aren’t much more than bait.

one who broke the bad news when I called to ask if they had any Sea-Monkeys on display. “No,” she replied, “Not at this time. We did once, though. It was not as a long-term exhibit but part of our Jelly Fish Gallery as an example of what our jelly fish eat.” “They‘re actually brine shrimp,” she explained. “We use them to feed our

jellyfish and sea horses.“ Well, obviously, I thought, fingers tightening around the telephone receiver, Sea-Monkeys, Artemia or whatever they are called are suffering from bad publicity. Maybe it was up to me to help raise awareness. It was time for someone to give them a little push. Be their “wingman” so to speak. Feeling philanthropic, I asked if I could donate a Sea-Monkey kit to the Newport Aquarium. Maybe as a thank you gesture, they could put a little plaque underneath it with my name on it? “We‘d take it under consideration,” she replied, diplomatically, barely stifling her laughter. It was obvious that to her, my little pals would never be more than some fishy’s din-din. That was several years ago and last time I checked, they still weren’t on display. Hey, I can take a hint. That just means more SeaMonkeys for me and they’re on permanent display on
