Harrison leaving Wyoming By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Wyoming’s city manager could be heading west in a few weeks, after a city council in Washington state confirms his appointment as city administrator there. Bob Harrison, who has held the position in Wyoming for 12 years, has been appointed by the mayor of Issaquah, Wash., to be the city administrator. Issaquah’s city council was scheduled to vote on the appointment during a meeting on Monday, Sept. 20. Harrison is scheduled to begin work in Issaquah Oct. 11. A request to Harrison for comment on his new job, and his departure from Wyoming, went unanswered. It’s unclear whether Harrison’s exit from Wyoming will impact a lawsuit filed by three former city employees. Attorney Randy Freking, who represents the three, was unavailable for comment on the lawsuit. Cathy Deters, Michael Pearl and Monica Miller, who had worked for the city’s recreation department, haven’t worked for Wyoming since September 2009, after they were accused of drinking alcoholic beverages on city property. Among other actions, the lawsuit accuses Harrison, as a city manager and individually, of “intimidating interviews” that included three city officials and a Springfield Township police officer. The lawsuit also alleges that the actions taken against the three employees were not consistent with previous accusations of similar actions by other employees. The former employees are asking to be reinstated to their former jobs and receive lost earnings and benefits, compensatory damages, punitive damages, reasonable attorney fees, front pay and various other fees associated with the lawsuit.

More than bells and whistles Technology just one part of ‘new’ curriculum
By Kelly McBride
What is 21st century learning?
kmcbride@communitypress.com
The buzz words “21st century learning” have an electronic ring. “But the greatest misconception about 21st Century learning is that it’s only about technology,” Princeton High School Principal William Sprankles said. “People think that component is the sole premise,” he said. “But it’s so much more broad and complex. “Technology is a major part of it, but not the only component,” he said. “It cannot exist in isolation.” The Princeton staff and community have put it into action through technology, mentoring and the incorporation of the academic with the practical application of education. Twenty-first century learning looks toward life after high school, and the heavy influence that education has on students’ futures. Princeton is using technology to stay connected with students, through text messages, e-mail accounts, Facebook and Twitter. Technology comes at a financial cost, but Sprankles considers this an investment with a temporary obstacle. Schools are forced to budget more carefully in the tight economy, but when money is spent, the decision to buy textbooks or computers that can download digital books will be considered, he said. Grants available to schools are beginning to reflect technology needs. “Over time, digital resources will be considered a financial investment, as more districts go paperless and wireless,” Sprankles said. “Ultimately, it requires a transformational shift in regards to thinking about how to fund, allocate, manage and generate sources of revenue to implement technology for all kids,” he said. In addition, 21st century learn-
Twenty-first century learning focuses on the infusion of skills, academic content, expertise and literacy to help students prepare for life in the 21st century. Princeton City Schools has introduced methods to help students achieve competitive levels they will need to succeed. Some of those approaches will be explored in several articles in the TriCounty Press: • Corporate partnerships allow community businesses to offer expertise and guidance to the students. • Resources, such as a STEM cart, will enhance teaching in a project-based format, and incorporate the basics of academics. • Flexible credits, mandated by the state of Ohio, allow students to tailor their schedules to meet their personal academic needs and goals. • Critical thinking skills are strengthened by curriculum that incorporates a variety of subject matter through hands-on teaching.

Text messages are part of the school’s communication through technology. ing incorporates STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) learning. “This is an integration of multiple content areas and skill sets for project-based learning assignment,” Sprankles said. “It’s thinking outside the box for things that can serve the masses,” he said. What the school found outside that box was technology and
innovative applications that helped students learn the core subjects, such as science, math and language arts, using technology for project-based learning. Teachers are assigning projects that require students to draw from different subjects, using STEM learning, which creates an environment more typical of a workplace. Local businesses have become
involved as well, offering mentoring and other support to the school. Administrators are working more closely with individual students, to tailor curriculum that best serves them. It’s critical in an age of digital learning, preparing students to survive in a competitive workplace, Sprankles said. “You have to have global awareness,” he said. “We’re using digital learning to enhance global awareness.” To prepare Vikings for life after Princeton, the school incorporates methods of communication that students can relate to, such as texting, e-mail, Facebook and Twitter. “People want information now, and they want it at their fingertips,” Sprankles said. Said Sprankles, “All pieces of the puzzle must be present.”
Army veteran makes pitch for patriotism By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
It was the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City that led Spc. Michael Dinkel to the military. It was also 9/11 that brought the former Princeton High School student to the pitcher’s mound at Great American Ball Park, to throw out the first pitch as the Reds took on the Pittsburgh Pirates. What happened in between changed his life. The Army specialist, now 29,
was a combat engineer, part of a unit that “took care of road bombs.” He was part of the 70th Engineers of Fort Riley, Kansas. “Our main job was to drive around Afghanistan looking for roadside bombs and clear the way for anyone who came along behind us,” Dinkel explained. He had chosen that assignment because “I didn’t want to join the Army and push paperwork.” “It sounded fun at the time.” Dinkel and fellow soldiers would go on the road for two to

Evendale working on business plan By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com
Evendale is continuing to work toward attracting new businesses and keeping current ones. Village council had a first reading of the Evendale Business Ready Strategy, a plan drawn up by the Community Improvement Corporation in conjunction with several consultants that focuses on an economic development plan. Hugh McKinnon, president of the Community Improvement Corporation – or CIC – said the plan could influence the village’s future for bringing in new businesses. He said the village has 17 parcels of land that could be sold or developed for revenue. “To bring the most value out of those properties ... We needed this economic development strategy as sort of a first step to position us so that we handled (the properties) properly,� McK-

McKinnon said the economic development plan will set the standards for businesses wanting to move into the available properties in the village. Both McKinnon and Aaron Whittaker of Front Street Analytics – one of the consulting companies that is working on the development strategy – said it is still a good time for planning for when the economy improves. “We can take an opportunistic time in the planning process ... and working towards implementation

“We got lucky, except that one time.� His unit had returned to base and were unloading the trucks when they were called out to retrieve a scout who had been injured. They set out, stopping overnight for a few hours of sleep. In the morning they headed out again. “Not even an hour later, we noticed something was weird,� Dinkel said. They noticed a pile of dirt in the road. “It wasn’t right,� he recalled. The soldiers checked out and found no explosives. As
they left, they drove over a culvert. Dinkel remembers a flash of light, then he was unconscious as a bomb detonated under the truck, between him and his passenger. The truck was flipped into the air. “When I woke up, my leg was completely gone,� he said of his left leg, from mid-thigh. He also had extensive damage to his face, broke his back and broke his wrist. His sergeant, who was sitting next to him in the truck, lost his left leg.

The Masterworks for Nature Artists are dedicated conservationists who have joined together to further environmental awareness through creative expression. The group includes John Ruthven, John Agnew, Linda Howard Bittner, Devere Burt, Gary Denzler, Nancy Foureman, Ann Geise, Mary Louise Holt, Christine Knapp, Les LeFevre and Chris Walden. gist, science museum director, and founder of the artist group, Masterworks for Nature. DeVere is inspired by the life and times of John James Audubon, and he has created a collection of Audubon themed paintings entitled “Audubon’s River.” • Gary Denzler, whose interest in birds, particularly hawks, eagles, falcons and owls goes back as far as he can remember. Since 1983, Gary has trained birds and directed the Great American Wings of Wonder show at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. His art career began in 1979, first carving a peregrine falcon from a piece of white pine. • Nancy Foureman, whose paintings are about her interaction with what she experiences. A painting allows the viewer to have their own opinion, their own interaction. “Traveling has been experiences of visions. Have you ever seen a snake with eyelashes or lion cubs jumping on each other in play?” Through color, drawing and paint she is sharing the wonders of nature. • Ann Geise, who grew up in the rural suburbs of Cincinnati and studied art in high school and earned a biology degree from North-
ern Kentucky University. Combining her natural history knowledge and artistic skills, Ann created illustrations for various environmental organizations and worked as the Artist and Exhibits Manager for Cincinnati Nature Center for 19 years. • Mary Louise Holt, who was an honors graduate from the College of Mount Saint Joseph with a bachelor of fine arts degree. With comprehensive formal training in the academic tradition of fine portraiture she paints many portraits on commission. Her passion for natural history has com-
pelled her to combine all of these skills to bring to life on canvas the rich natural history of the Eastern Frontier. • Christine Knapp, who has honed her skills by studying with numerous internationally acclaimed painters and sculptors. Inspiration for her sculptures stem from a personal connection with the wildlife she portrays and the people of the American West. In October 2005, her cheetah sculpture “Amazing Grace” was awarded for efforts in conservation. • Les LeFevre, whose professional career and his exploration of National Parks, birding and painting were simultaneous pursuits for 25 years until painting became a full time profession. Les’s art evolved from birds and wildlife to his childhood passion of cowboys and Indians. • Chris Walden, who is originally from Auckland, New Zealand, and came to the States in 1979. Twenty-five years later he is still here and in the meantime has become a nationally known wildlife artist. To accomplish his mission Chris has teamed up with several conservation groups in the U.S. to lend his talents to help raise money and awareness to preserve the habitats that are in danger.

Residents and businesses in Wyoming continue to set new records in recycling. During the first period of 2010, the city was declared the number one recycler in Hamilton County. Typically, Wyoming rates among the top five recycling communities in the county, diverting more than 25 percent of its waste from the county landfill. Since residents were offered the option of 65-gallon recycling containers a year ago, recycling rates have continued to rise. In the first year, more than 580 Wyoming households ordered the tubs, which have wheels and lids. The containers cost $1 per month to rent. Many recycling efforts have been sparked by initiatives in the public schools. The Wyoming City School District recently received a School Waste Reduction Grant from the Hamilton County Solid Waste Management District to purchase approximately 60 recycling containers. The $2,500 grant will help Wyoming Schools enhance a district-wide recycling program, providing 2,300 students and staff with clearly designated recycling containers for paper, aluminum and plastic. This improvement to the recycling program at the Wyoming City School District will boost recycling rates and reduce the school district’s solid waste costs. “This grant greatly assists our efforts to create a system that elevates recycling from an optional action to standard practice throughout the district,” said Superintendent Gail Kist-Kline in a release. For more information about the recycling program in the Wyoming schools, contact Mary Killen at 2067015 or at killenm@ wyomingcityschools.org. To rent a 65-gallon recycling container for residential or small business use, visit www.wyoming.oh.
The Hamilton County Park District is hosting this year’s artist reception, exhibit and art sale for Masterworks for Nature at Sharon Centre in beautiful Sharon Woods. The Masterworks for Nature is a celebration of some top local artists whose focus is on nature and the environment. The Masterworks for Nature exhibit will be open to the public 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 26, through Sunday, Oct. 10, in the Sharon Centre. Artists’ original works, framed prints and cards will be on display and available for purchase. The group includes: • John Ruthven, who returned home after Naval service during World War II to attend the Cincinnati Art Academy. Highlights of his accomplishments include the 1960-1961 Federal Duck Stamp competition, first Artist of the Year print for Duck’s Unlimited, Eagles for three U.S. presidents, Eagle to the Moon for the Neil Armstrong Aerospace Museum, and many private collections. • John Agnew, whose murals have been seen by millions, from the Cincinnati Museum Center to the Cincinnati Zoo. His paintings and prints can be found in collections across the North America, Europe, Russia, south Asia and Australia. He is a signature member of the prestigious Society of Animal Artists, and a founding member of Masterworks for Nature. • Linda Howard Bittner, who has been a professional commercial artist for more than 18 years. Her work has graced many products including greeting cards, giftware, children’s books, toys, games, puzzles and exhibits for zoos, aquariums and nature centers. • Devere Burt, who is an award winning artist specializing in landscapes and animal subjects.

excuse for hitting the cyclist ... in fact, it is an admission of liability. Motorists have a duty to ‘see what there is to be seen.’ Pedestrians are a ‘whole ‘nother thing’ as my mom used to say. Cyclists travel at speed three to six times faster than pedestrians and are expected to travel on the roadways with traffic. Pedestrians are generally not allowed to walk on the roadway, are expected to walk against traffic. “However, pedestrian deaths are in the 4,000-5,000 range each year while cyclist deaths have dropped are in the 700-800 range, so this is a huge problem.” What are the top things bikers should do to remain safe when biking, particularly in the street as part of regular traffic? The biggest thing, to me, is for a cyclist to behave like ‘traffic.’ That is, to ride predictably, in a straight line and in a place on the roadway surface where she/he is ‘taking control of the lane.’ Cyclists should also dress brightly – in fluorescent colors – to attract the eyes of other vehicle operators. By ‘taking the lane’ I mean driving their bikes a few feet off the white line and into the lane. This makes the cyclist more ‘visible’ and forces motorists to go around. When a cyclist rides on top of the white line we find that motorists try to squeeze in next to the cyclist in the same lane. Once you force that motorist to move over the lane line, they generally give you enough room.” Why would you recommend that the communities in the Connecting Active Communities Coalition make their laws more consistent? “Consistency is important because cyclists often ride from community to community. When the laws are different, or there are helmet laws in one place but not another, then cyclists must know 48 different sets of laws just to ride in Hamilton County. I helped write the 2006 amendments to Ohio Revised Code known as the Better Bicycling Bill which included a provision that made it clear that traffic laws which are ‘fundamentally inconsistent’ with state law cannot stand. In Cleveland, for example, there was one community that required anyone who wanted to ride a bike in town to register at the police station or risk a ticket and the impoundment of their bike. Can you imagine a 20-mile bike trip going into, say, Blue Ash and a cop stopped you for not registering your bike, then took you the station, wrote you a ticket and impounded your bike? Consistency in bike laws is as important as consistency for car laws.”

BRIEFLY Wyoming’s PGA champ
Wyoming resident Dave Bahr won the Southern Ohio PGA – Southwest Chapter Individual Stroke Play Championship Aug. 16 at Hyde Park Golf and Country Club. After two rounds, Bahr’s final score was 136, which equates to six under par. A total of 31 golfers, most of whom are PGA members, competed in the championship. This was the inaugural Southwest Chapter PGA championship after a realignment of the chapters last year. Bahr has been the head golf professional at Maketewah Country Club in Bond Hill for five years. He said Maketewah’s golf course provides the necessary challenge that helps him prepare for any tournament. This was Bahr's fifth year competing in the Stroke Play Championship. He has been a medalist at the U.S. Open Qualifier, held annually at Maketewah, and won the Section Championship in 2004. Bahr has placed in the top 10 in several tournaments.

The Wyoming High School football team has continued its winning ways as all-state quarterback Kyle Seyfried remains on the sidelines while he rehabs his broken foot. After losing to the No. 1ranked team in Division II, Turpin, in week 2, the Cowboys have posted back-toback shutouts over Norwood and Reading. “That’s big,” head coach Bernie Barre said. “You can’t get beat if you don’t give up any points.” Barre cited the defense as the key to the 21-0 win over Reading Thursday, Sept. 16. The defense did an excellent job limiting Rashad Kyte, who came into the game as the leading rusher in the CHL. If there’s one adjustment that Barre would like to see four games into the season, it’s more consistency on offense for the 3-1 Cowboys. “We’ll look good here and there and then not so good later,” Barre said. “Consistency on offense is a big thing.” The offense has looked strong at times and Robert Gomez has done an admirable job filling in for Seyfried at quarterback. Gomez threw for one touchdown and ran for another against Reading and had 155 passing yards and three touchdowns against Norwood in a 40-0 win on Sept. 10. “He is doing really well. He’s done a great job for us,” Barre said. “Everyone has done a great job. Drew Perry has done a good job running, the offensive line as a whole has done a good job, and the receivers are catching the ball. I’ve been pleased overall, we’ve done what we needed to do win.” Up next for the Cow-

We need to believe whatever team we’re playing is the best team in the conference and we need to play like that.” Mariemont has scored more than 40 points in a game twice in their first three games, but Reading was also a high-powered offense that the Cowboys defense blanked. Reading was averaging close to 40 points a game in the two games they played before facing Wyoming’s stifling defense. Wyoming faces Mariemont at home at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 24.

Seniors lead for Princeton water polo By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com
The girls of the Princeton High School water polo team may not have a lot of wins, but the squad is improving every day, according to head coach Jaclyn Tameris. At 1-10 on the season, the Vikings roster consists of two extremes when it comes to age. Of the squad’s 19 athletes, seven are seniors and seven are sophomores. Tameris, who is in her second year as coach, believes her younger players can learn a lot from the team’s upperclassmen. Tameris hopes the freshmen can pick up tips from the seniors on how to improve game awareness and how to think one move ahead. The squad’s freshmen have a good leader to look up to in senior Marisa Ulliman, according to Tameris. Ulliman, who can play any position in the pool, has been playing goalie because of an injury to fellow captain Alyssa Stahlgren. “It’s great having Marisa, she does anything I ask,” Tameris said. “She has great intensity for the game and gives 100 percent all of the time.”
The 2010 Princeton High School girls' water polo team. The Vikings have also been helped by senior Jocelyn Tubbs. Tubbs, who is in her first year as a starter, has impressed Tameris at the attacker position. “She has continuously improved and has made great strides from last year,” Tameris said. “To see the progress of the girls from when I came in is outstanding.” When the girls started
playing water polo as freshmen, they had no experience, according to Tameris. It’s for this reason that Tameris is happy she has seven freshmen. She will be able to show the younger girls how the game is meant to be played. “I’m glad I get four years with those girls,” Tameris said. “This is my second year coaching and I’ve already seen a turn around completely (from the girls

Sept. 15 questions
What do you miss most about pre-recession life? “My investment portfolio, my retirement plan and mostly the lack of fear that I’ll have to keep working until I’m 75 just to afford the state-run home they’re going to put me in when the bank forecloses on my house! ‘Nuff said!!!” M.M. “What do I miss most about prerecession life? The anxiety produced by the choice I make for health coverage each year as a retiree. I thought it was bad, but it’s nothing like what I anticipate later in the year when I wlll have to choose again for one more year. In spite of the complexity of the whole thing, and the uncertainty about which choice would be best, it wasn’t as bad as it’s gonna be this year after The Messiah’s Health Care Plan has been enacted.” B.B. “Not gasping when I see the tab at Nicola’s Restaraunt.” J.Z. “Two years ago both my son and my son-in-law had secure, well-paying jobs (we thought). In that span of time both lost their jobs, got unemployment, then found new, lower-paying jobs with no seniority. There is constant stress for three families that they’ll lose their jobs again.” R.V. “I miss seeing the ocean, buying clothes at places other than Goodwill and eating out. I miss not having that sick feeling when our child needs money for a schoolrelated trip, and I miss not dreading Christmas, birthdays, weddings and graduations because of the expenses they will entail.” C.G. “George Bush’s first six years.” D.J. “The value of my stock!”

Working hard to adjust to retirement Dear Friend, I hope that by the time this reaches you, the dust has settled from your decision to retire. I wanted to share some insights from when I left the corporate world, which I hope will help you in your process of adjusting to your new life. Yes. There is life after your career. I once exited the corporate limelight, in 1998. I was a relatively big fish, in rather a small pond – namely the Brazilian insurance industry. I immediately moved to a different country and promptly lost contact with about 250 people I worked regularly with. Here is what I learned: 1) Many, many people befriend you for what you are, not who you are. I am not sure this is human nature, but it happens with startling regularity and is universal, at least in business. Aristotle defined this friendship as that of “utility.” In some way, you are useful to them, and in some ways (to be fair) they are useful to you. Coming out of the limelight alters this relationship and
destroys it, in most cases. Of course this is rather depressing, but it is reality. The upside is that it sorts the wheat from the chaff, and those Bruce Healey that keep in through Community touch thick and thin, Press guest the ones who columnist you can call a year from now, and chat as if you had dinner together last night, are the real friends. 2) “Arbeit Macht Frei” (roughly “work sets you free”) was the motto above the gate to Auschwitz. It was the last horrible deception of a series of deceptions that lead millions to their deaths. It is still a deceptive credo, even today. Work can indeed free us from poverty, from boredom and it builds whole societies. But it does not truly make us free. True freedom is born from the choices we make to give back – be it to our families and loved ones, to our society or to those who are
less fortunate. Maybe this is why monks and other ascetics believe themselves to be truly free: they give back more than they have. Working ourselves beyond our physical limits can be comforting but is ultimately futile, because we have worked ourselves to death in search of something that is not attainable by work alone. 3) You have the gift of leadership. You can lead people to do great things and achieve lofty goals. This is an amazing skill. Now, however, you are going confront something far more difficult. You are going from leading people to spend more time leading yourself. This requires that you know yourself, and this requires the rest of your life. All I can say is that it is a voyage beyond the horizon. It can be very scary and sometimes disappointing, but like all great voyages of discovery, it reaps huge riches in knowledge and happiness for those bold and skillful enough to keep on sailing. 4) Humility. When I graduated from Colgate a professor said “if you leave here imagining how much you know, we have failed miserably. If you graduate with an
I wanted to share some insights from when I left the corporate world, which I hope will help you in your process of adjusting to your new life. Yes. There is life after your career. inkling about how little you know, then we have succeeded.” I am reminded every day by my children, by my wife, by store clerks and by all sorts of people, big and small, how little I know. It makes the world a wonderful place, and makes sure I keep trying to catch up. So there you have it, the sum total of my knowledge in four short lessons. I had no idea of the voyage I was about to embark upon– thank heaven – but it is one amazing cruise. Good luck! Bruce Healey is a resident of Blue Ash.
Understanding sobriety checkpoints Sobriety checkpoints involve police stopping vehicles on a public roadway to investigate whether the driver is too impaired to drive. Checkpoints often are used late at night and on weekends when impaired driving is most common. Sobriety checkpoints have proponents and critics. Proponents argue that checkpoints reduce drunk driving by combining enforcement with public education and awareness. Critics contend that sobriety checkpoints infringe on the constitutional right to be free from unreasonable search and seizures. In 1990 the U. S. Supreme Court held that sobriety checkpoints are constitutional. The Supreme Court acknowledged that checkpoints infringe on a constitutional right, but ruled that the state interest in reducing drunk driving outweighed this minor infringement.
In Ohio, as in most states, checkpoints are allowed if certain procedures are followed. First, the site of the checkpoint must have a history of Judge Brad alcohol related or Greenberg crashes arrests. Community Roughly one Press guest week before the columnist checkpoint, public notice is given that the checkpoint will occur. At this time only a general date, time and location are announced.

The Supreme Court acknowledged that checkpoints infringe on a constitutional right, but ruled that the state interest in reducing drunk driving outweighed this minor infringement. cific details of a checkpoint. The reason is the belief that public awareness of the checkpoint operates as a deterrent to impaired driving. Police must adhere to a neutral and random formula to select vehicles to be stopped. For example, either every vehicle, or every third or fourth vehicle must be stopped. Police may not stop cars based
on hunches. Primary consideration is given to public and officer safety. Checkpoints must be clearly marked and illuminated. Procedures must be followed to minimize the intrusiveness and length of detention. Drivers of cars that are stopped are observed for noticeable signs of impairment. If no physical signs of alcohol or drug abuse are exhibited, the driver is passed through with a minimum of delay. Drivers who appear to be impaired are taken from the checkpoint to a secured screening area for more comprehensive field sobriety tests. Drivers found by police to be under the influence are detained and subject to arrest. Drivers that are considered not under the influence are allowed to continue on their way. Judge Brad Greenberg presides in Hamilton County Municipal Court.
Speak out about Duke’s nuclear plans The Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, the residential utility consumer advocate, has concerns about Duke Energy Ohio’s Long-Term Forecast Report, filed June 15. Duke Energy favors four plans that all involve construction of a multi-billion dollar nuclear plant. Published reports indicate Duke would build the plant in Piketon, Ohio. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, such a plant “would take more than a decade and more than $10 billion to build.” The OCC and several other organizations have asked for local public hearings for Duke residential consumers in Cincinnati on this important issue. Duke Energy opposes the hearings. Investor-owned electric utilities – including Duke Energy – are required under Ohio law to file a forecast report that includes a resource plan. Recent changes to Ohio law require compliance with new requirements for energy efficiency and the production of electricity using renewable sources. Among other things, the new law requires a utility to reduce its total sales 22 percent and to produce
25 percent of its load using alternative energy sources by 2025. Half of the generation sources must be renewable energy, such as solar Janine and wind. The Migden- energy efficiency Ostrander and renewable standards conCommunity tain annual Press guest benchmarks to columnist ensure utilities make consistent progress toward meeting the 2025 requirements. By law, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) must determine if Duke Energy’s forecast report is adequate, including whether the utility’s resource plan is well supported to meet the energy demands of its customers. Ohio’s electric law allows an electric utility to file for the collection of its costs associated with a new electric generating facility that is dedicated to serving Ohio customers. All customers, including customers whose generation
service is provided by a different service provider, could be required to pay a special surcharge. Approval for such a surcharge would be needed from PUCO after receiving a utility’s request as part of a rate plan. Prior to approval, a utility must demonstrate the need for such a facility. In its resource plan, which is contained in its forecast report, the utility must also demonstrate cost-effectiveness and that it evaluated alternative plans, and considered risks, reliabilities and uncertainties. The construction of this plant must be competitively bid before a special surcharge may be approved by the PUCO. The expensive nuclear plant Duke Energy favors may not be the least cost resource option for Ohio consumers. The nuclear plant raises many concerns that members of the public may want to comment upon to aid the PUCO’s evaluation of Duke Energy’s forecast report. What are the risks to the regional economy of anticipated lengthy construction delays and possible cost overruns that have been typical of nuclear plant proj-

ects? How reliable are the new nuclear designs? Are major uncertainties accounted for in Duke Energy’s nuclear analysis? What are the future cost risks to Ohio consumers and businesses if market generation rates are far below the generation costs of Duke Energy’s nuclear plants? How does the construction of an expensive nuclear plant contribute to energy conservation when cheaper alternatives exist? Would costs be recovered from customers even before the plant goes into service? It is also of concern that in its filing, Duke Energy underestimates the economic potential of energy efficiency in its service territory.

Cupid took great Paynes to match this couple
Paula Payne’s life has been a series of events that go to show that what the fates decide will not be denied. She was born in Albuquerque, and I wondered how she got to this side of the country. The route she traveled to a marriage to artist C.F. (Chris) Payne and her lovely Evendale home actually begins with her parents, who were born in a small Oklahoma town, but didn’t know each other. Her dad was an artist who left Oklahoma when his family moved away. Her mom was a nurse. Both got jobs in Morocco where they met, and discovered they were from the same burg. After marrying, they moved to Albuquerque where his mother lived. Her father was in the running for a job with Disney that didn’t materialize. When he secured a job in Dayton, they moved there while Paula was still a tot. When she was 5, they moved to Forest Park.
OK, that gets her from New Mexico to Ohio, but hang on, it gets better. Next, she lived in Glendale and attended Princeton, graduating in 1971. She first met Chris on his 16th birthday during a youth and government trip to Columbus. He played football for Wyoming High School. The second meeting was at another youth and government trip, and Paula didn’t like him because he talked too much about football. The third time they ran into each other was at a Glendale party, where he referred to her as “Pam.” That really irritated her. Two years later, she transferred from Wilmington College to Miami University into the first co-ed dorm, and he was moving in at the same time. Cupid must have said, “It’s now or never” and this time his arrow rang true. They dated, became engaged, and then broke up. Cupid, more determined than ever, refilled his quiver and bided his time. Paula went to
graduate s c h o o l , moved to Alaska and then they reconciled and married. Their two Evelyn sons are Perkins Trevor, 26, who works Community with his Press father at columnist C o l u m b u s College of Art and Design. Evan is 21 and after two years at UC, now attends Cincinnati State and focuses on his career path. There is the most adorable famed photo of them as young boys. Paula has been a registered nurse since 1987 and works at Crossroads Hospice. She’s been there five years taking care of people in their homes as well as in nursing facilities, and she loves it. Crossroads also cares for patients in hospitals until their symptoms stabilize. Her first job was at Jewish Hospital in the oncology
PERSON 2 PERSON Book turns preschool jitters into cheers By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Heading back to school can be stressful, and for preschoolers, the unknown can be frightening. Wyoming author Linda “Nina” Leopold Strauss has helped calm those jitters with a recently-released book titled “Preschool Day Hooray!” The 85-word poem takes a child through a day at preschool, from arrival to pickup by mom. The colorful, boxy illustrations, by artist Hiroe Nakata, are friendly and animated. Scholastic Books has chosen the story as one of its “Top Picks for Back-toSchool Books.” The book, which costs $8.99, can be bought through Amazon.com, but is being stocked in bookstores throughout the country. The appeal of the book, she said was that it lets children who are heading to preschool see what their day will look like. “It allows them to rehearse the experience before they go,” she said, adding that the feedback

“Preschool Day Hooray!” joins the collection of books in Linda “Nina” Leopold Strauss’ office. she has received included comments from moms who said it was comforting to them, too. The seed for the book began to grow in the grocery store, where Leopold Strauss saw a barbecue sauce called Sticky Fingers. “I thought, ‘preschoolers like sticky things. Maybe I’ll write about sticky things.” So she began to compile a list of sticky phrases. “Finally, I had enough to cover a day in the life of a preschooler,” she said.

Those phrases combined with her love of poetry and the influence of her granddaughter, Leila Fenton Strauss, who would race through books, requiring her grandmother to paraphrase many stories. “All of these things fit together,” Leopold Strauss said of her seventh book, “and I had a poem that was 85 words.” She will hold a booksigning for “Preschool Day Hooray!” at the Century House in Glendale from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25 Leopold Strauss’ eighth book will be released in December. “Drop Everything and Write” is a combination of exercises she has developed through years of teaching writing to children. “It has exercises that anybody can do to be comfortable with writing,” she said of the book, written for kids in middle school and high school. “Then it leads the reader in, to develop characters and plot. By the time they’re finished, they can develop a story.”
unit; then she worked in their emergency room. Paula also attended law school before she discovered that nursing is her true calling. A woman of great imagination, Paula wanted to be a writer as a child, but that never happened because she enjoyed reading other people’s work more. Her favorite novelist these days is Lisa See and she uses a Kindle digital system so that she can conveniently read wherever she goes without toting around the weight of an actual book. Paula has a green thumb, but the weather has taken its toll on her annuals. Day lilies in any color but orange are her favorite flowers. I don’t know how she does it, but her lavender and balloon plants are still growing splendidly. Evelyn Perkins writes a regular column about people and events in the Tri-County Press area.

Paula Payne in her beautifully appointed home. Notice the expressions of her southwestern roots in her turquoise jewelry.
Win the turf war this September with these tips September is here, that means turf month, and what you do to the lawn this month (and fall) is the backbone to how well it can perform next year. So, let’s take a look at three very important things you could be doing – core aerating, seeding, and feeding. First and most important – the soil has to have good moisture. If it hasn’t rained, water the lawn three or four days in advance. Also mow it two to three days in advance, so that it’s at a lower height, and easier to perform aerating and seeding. Soil moisture is a key here in getting any of this to work. If it is extremely dry, you’ll need to pre-water and continue to water as needed, or wait to see if natural rainfall occurs, and then aerate and seed. But, the later you wait for seeding, the more the window for the opportune time for seeding lawns will begin to close. Now, we’re not saying that you cannot successfully seed in late September through mid-October. You can – many new lawns are established in the fall. But you are in the hands of Mother Nature and weather changes. That’s why the earlier you can seed, the better your chances for having the new seed up and growing and ready for the winter. And if worse comes to worse, you can always wait and dormant seed in the winter. Core aerate the lawn, using a core aerator. This machine actually removes plugs from the soil,
and deposits the plugs on top. T h e s e holes help to open up the soil for better water and Ron Wilson f e r t i l i z e r In the absorption, garden better airflow to the roots, and helps to loosen heavy compacted soils. This can be done annually if you have lot’s of foot traffic or heavy soils, and can be done spring or fall, as long as the grass is actively growing. By the way, the cores of soil will dry, break down, and return to the soils surface, so leave them be. Core aerating is not a necessity, but is very helpful to most lawns. This could also be an opportune time for lightly top-dressing with a fine compost, earthworm castings, etc, and rake that into the open holes – a great way to add organic matter to your soil! Over seeding to help thicken the lawn is one of the best defenses against those pesky weeds. And the best way to do this is using a seed slicer (slit seeder). The seed slicer slices through the existing grass, and deposits the new grass seed into the soil, which is very important for good seed germination. For over seeding existing lawns, use a compatible seed, or the same seed as the existing grass. When using a slice seeder on bare soil, be sure to go at least two directions – north to south and east to west. For new seeding use full rates, for over seeding exist-
ing lawns use half the normal seeding rates. And if going two directions for seeding, use half the amount one direction, and the other half for the other direction. And when it comes to choosing the right seed, make sure you use a seed that is the same or compatible to the existing turf, or choose what you’d like if starting over. Not sure what you have? Take a 12 inch square of your sod to you local independent garden store for help identifying what’s growing there. You can also try www.scotts.com – they have a great section on identifying your turf. By the way, if you’re looking to redo the lawn entirely, may we suggest looking at the turf type tall fescues? Feed the lawn. With a new lawn, apply a starter fertilizer. For an existing lawn, use a high nitrogen fertilizer. This feeding, along with a late fall feeding, are the two most important feedings of the entire year. VERY IMPORTANT! Make sure you keep good moisture in the soil for those new seeds to germinate and get growing – evenly moist for the next several weeks. The goal right now is getting the new grass up and growing, as well as getting the existing grass greened and growing as well.

How do I know I’m making the right decision? stood as b e i n g ultra-cautious or a nambyp a m b y afraid to take risks. P r u Father Lou dence has Guntzelman been valued for a Perspectives long time – prized in the Hellenistic and Roman cultures, as well as in Chinese Confucianism. St. Thomas Aquinas calls prudence the virtue that enables us to do the right thing at the right time. It’s impossible, but who wouldn’t like to be able to do that? That’s because life is complex, relationships require many sensitive decisions, raising children is fraught with balancing love and discipline, and in legal and business decisions the mental dexterity required is mind-boggling. It is not easy to always know what to do. Prudence doesn’t demand we be infallible, but that we put forth effort. Imprudence complicates lives and brings misery to our door. What are some factors to help us become more prudent in our decisions? 1) Be inquisitive enough to gather all the facts and various sides of the issue involved. Half-truths leave us half-informed. 2) Know ourselves well. Some of our decisions are
imprudent because we don’t realize how often we decide matters based only on our emotions and not on the facts. We must know when to trust our thoughts and emotions and when not to. 3) Do some “damn good thinking.” Reason logically, be honest, weigh solid moral principles and what is genuinely good for our self as well as others involved. One theologian described prudence as “the vigilant eye of love.” 4) Our greatest enemies are apathy, fear and selfishness. Apathy leads us to avoid decisions we personally need to make with the attitude of, “Who cares? Let somebody else decide.” Fear brings extreme caution, timidity in making decisions, or taking an unreasonable amount of time to make them. It can also lead us to dread displeasing others – so we conform to what others think is to be decided. Selfishness and pride can delude our minds into thinking, “I have all the answers so why take the time to think deeply or discuss it with others?” “Why consider in my conscience what God might want?” 5) If necessary, be open to seek advice from someone competent whose wisdom we trust. They cannot make our decision for us but they may be able to help us have greater confidence in the validity of our reasoning. Today many people seem

We learn how to walk by doing a lot of stumbling and falling. We learn how to make good choices in life also by stumbling and falling. Eventually we learn how to do it more effectively, but never perfectly. Making choices, great or small, is a constant requisite of living. To sift the gold of understanding from the gravel of impulse is a great endeavor. It would be nice if we could do this with ease all our lives. But our challenges change across the years from youth to old age. And besides, the circumstances are always a little different each time. So we wind up asking ourselves many times over our lives about decisions concerning our relationships, childrearing, business decisions, etc., “How do I know I’m doing the right thing?” What we’re really talking about here is the virtue of prudence. Former Yale University chaplain and senior minister of Riverside Church put it this way: “The first of our four cardinal virtues of the Roman Catholic Church is ‘prudentia,’ which basically means damn good thinking. Christ came to take away our sins, not our minds.” Prudence demands a mental struggle. It involves thinking, reasoning, weighing, understanding – and in general much wisdom.

No-cook banana pudding has great ‘a-peel’ Yesterday I took dinner to a friend who was ill. I wanted to bring a dessert for the family along with the meal but didn’t have a lot of time, so I decided to make banana pudding. Now usually I make the pudding from scratch, like a pastry cream, but that wasn’t going to happen yesterday. So I carried in my nobake version and it was a huge hit. Here’s the recipe for you to try.
My mom’s no-cook best banana puddin’
The “mom” in the title is me. This heirloom recipe is an easy dessert that the little ones can help with, and it tastes so good.
Rita Heikenfeld Rita’s kitchen er casserole dish.
Y o u can double this recipe for a 9 by13 pan. If you double the recipe, use the larger box (5 oz. or so) of pudding. I put mine in a small-
4 oz. cream cheese, softened 1 ⁄2 cup sweetened condensed milk (this is half of the 14 oz. can – freeze leftover milk 3.5 oz. package instant vanilla pudding 11⁄2 cups milk

1 tablespoon vanilla 2 cups whipping cream, sweetened to taste*, whipped, and divided or 12 to 16 oz. whipped topping, thawed 3 ripe bananas, sliced About half a box of vanilla wafers Put cream cheese and condensed milk in mixer and blend well. Whisk pudding mix into milk and vanilla and blend until smooth. Add to cream cheese mixture. Blend well and fold in half the whipped cream or half the whipped topping. Make layers in casserole dish: Vanilla wafers, bananas, and the pudding on top. Refrigerate at least one hour before serving or up to eight hours. Garnish with whipped cream and more wafers. *To sweeten whipping cream: Stir in 1⁄4 cup powdered sugar or more to taste before whipping.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen:
• Sprinkle cocoa powder
or shaved chocolate on top. • Stir in a couple handfuls of coconut into the pudding. • Make individual ones in wine glasses.

Gifts make early literacy stations available Five separate gifts have made Early Literacy Stations available at 16 Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County locations. These all-in-one computer learning stations for young children (ages 210) are loaded with educational software programs that span seven curricular areas including reading, writing, science, math, geography, music and the arts. Each software program is imaginative, intuitive, and uses sound
and graphics to encourage exploration and to draw kids into a learning adventure. The Library Foundation provided a grant of $30,000 to buy early literacy stations for the Children’s Learning Center and Homework Central at the Main Library, and the Avondale, Bond Hill, College Hill, Corryville, Covedale, Madisonville, Northside, Price Hill, Walnut Hills and West End branch libraries. The Anderson Township
Library Association provided additional funds to buy early literacy stations for the Anderson and Mount Washington branch libraries. A bequest from Wayne W. Wilkinson was used to buy an ELS for the Mount Healthy Branch Library. Gifts from the Charles H. Dater Fund and the Hosbrook Fund were used to purchase Early Literacy Stations respectively for the Westwood Branch Library and the Madeira Branch Library.

Ava Johnson, 5, of Wyoming joins an exclusive group, including such prominent figures as Barack Obama, Jack Nicholson, Hillary Clinton, Neil Young, Ted Turner, George Bush and the cast of “Saturday Night Live.” Ava’s commonality with this list of notable figures is she was painted by nationally-known artist C.F. Payne. Earlier this year, Ava’s father, Dan Johnson, entered her into a contest to be featured in an original 30-foot mural by C.F. Payne, commissioned by Gold Star Chili, to depict the definitive Cincinnati-style chili parlor experience. She was one of two dozen models finally selected out of hundreds of applicants of real Gold Star Chili customers to model for the C. F. Payne mural. On Aug. 5, Ava and her parents had the opportunity to see the result of this endeavor by attending the unveiling at the Bellevue Gold Star Chili restaurant.
