Princeton plans to sell parcel for business development By Kelly McBride

kmcbride@communitypress.com

The city of Sharonville is working with Princeton City Schools to help the district sell nearly six acres its currently using as a parking lot. The 5.8-acre parcel at Sharon and Chester roads across from Princeton High School is not part of the plan for a new high school and middle school complex. School Board President Steve Moore pointed out that the development would provide business stimulation to the area, in part, he said, because 75,000 cars pass

that intersection each day. Superintendent Gary Pack said there were four reasons the district decided to sell the surplus property. • to provide additional resources for the new school construction project; • to receive additional taxes to help operate the district; • to develop an agreement with the city of Sharonville for road improvements; and • to provide business services to the Chester and Sharon road corridor that are not available now. Both the school board and

Sharonville City Council approved a memorandum of understanding at their respective meetings on Sept. 12 and Sept. 13, to jointly build public infrastructure, to economically develop the real estate and to support the city’s goals for the Chester Road corridor. A separate ordinance passed by Sharonville council authorizes Safety Service Director Ted Mack to enter into a real estate purchase agreement with Princeton City School District, then to assign the contract rights to the Sharonville Community Improvement Corporation. The ordinance stipulates that

Every day, an estimated 75,000 cars pass the site of a future business development at Sharon and Chester roads, which Princeton High School currently uses as a parking lot. the land will be sold to Hotel Development Services LLC to be used as commercial development. “The price is still in negotiations,” Pack said. “The developer will build opportunities that will enhance the business corridor for Sharonville and Glendale, and will be businesses and services not offered in this area now.” Get daily Sharonville updates by signing up for our electronic newsletter.

In the next few days your Community Press carrier will be stopping by to collect $2.50 for delivery of this month’s TriCounty Press. This month we’re featuring Sydney Barth. Barth She is in eighthgrade at Wyoming Middle School and plays tennis yearround. She also plays softball in the summer, but enjoys tennis more.

Glendale Elementary students will have access to a learning tool that will put them in touch with the latest information technology, thanks to the efforts of its PTA. They will be using iPads in the classroom, as the school receives 31 through a local donation and matching funds from the PTA. Tom Benjamin, the Glendale PTA treasurer, had been eyeing the impact that the struggling economy was having on the school district, most visibly in its reduction in staffing. “It became painfully obvious at the end of last school year that the economy was dealing Princeton a bad hand,” he said. “Glendale School alone had a 40 percent change in its teaching staff, due to moves that Princeton was forced to make because of funding cuts. “We knew at that point that Glendale PTA's mission of helping our students and staff would be

“The biggest change in zoning will be in the southeast part of the city,” Boss said, adding that 54 percent of homes in that area are zoned as two-family dwellings, though only 5 percent are used that way. The others are single-family residences, he said, and a zoning change would better reflect the current use. “Planning Commission will examine other areas in the city,” he said, “including Springfield Pike, to see if the current zoning reflects

He consulted with other schools that were using iPads, and was sold on the idea. To fund the wish list, he turned to a local fund and received a donation, which the PTA will match.

Bethany students thank their local protectors When assistant Head of School Teri Mauntel introduced Wyoming Fire Chief Robert Rielage, Bethany students welcomed him with their usual enthusiasm and eagerness to absorb new information. We were gathered in commemoration of Evelyn Sept. 11, Perkins 2001. He brought a Community t h r e e - f o o t Press section of a columnist w i n d o w channel and a fragment of window curtain from the World Trade Center for the children to touch. He also had lots of information to share. Some articles from WTC were saved for study; other huge pieces will go into permanent memorials. Rielage requested something lightweight for portability, so that he could carry it to show in schools. The piece he brought weighs 45 pounds. Chief Rielage was formerly the Ohio Fire Marshall in Columbus, superintendent over 40,000 Ohio firefighters. Then-Gov. Bob Taft asked him, Lt. Gov. Maureen O’Conner and Dave Shipley to go to New York after the attack, and they left Sept. 14. “We were not the heroes; we were there to learn and give aid and comfort. The Ohio Urban Search and Rescue Team (USAR) was the first out-of-state team to respond,” Rielage said. USAR teams worked 12hour shifts, and Ohio USAR brought mail. Because no commercial flights were allowed, they flew on mili-

The World Trade Center was a complex holding 100,000 people daily. There was much more than destruction of the twin towers. WTC 3 had more than 1,000 rooms; many other buildings such as the Oppenheimer and Horizon were heavily damaged. Debris was piled hundreds of feet high. WTC 2 was 120 stories high and seven stories deep. The New York Fire Department lost 107 vehicles. It was the Ohio team’s duty to clean up. Rielage was amazed at how the streets were cleared in three days. Vehicles were stacked on top of each other. Snow-

plows pushed debris onto dead-end streets. Rielage returned to New York in November to evaluate the training requirements and administrative needs of the New York Fire Department. He returned in February for the first 300 recruits. Did you know that the terrorists were right here in Ohio? The plane they flew to Washington came from Cleveland Hopkins Airport. Rielage’s son, a naval officer, was less than 100 feet from the Pentagon strike. Students presented Glendale Police Chief Dave Warman, Lt. David LeCompte and Sgt.

Wyoming’s Mikey Gonzalez (18) and Dennis Austin wrap up Reading quarterback Cole Cloud and eventually cause him to fumble during the Cowboys’ 42-0 win on Sept. 23. The Wyoming defense had two pick-sixes, held Reading to 111 yards in total offense, and caused three turnovers via fumble.

Princeton football stays unbeaten

Turnovers played a key role as Princeton, ranked No. 6 in the Enquirer Division I area coaches’ poll, beat Hamilton 26-20, Sept. 23. The Vikings forced five turnovers, including a 25yard interception return for a touchdown by linebacker Tony Hendricks with 7:14 left to play in the second quarter. “Turnovers were key factors,” Princeton coach Gary Croley said. “Our defense created a few turnovers and took one back to the house. We always want to make sure we are around the ball.” With their one-two punch of halfback DeMarco Thomas and quarterback Nate McGill, the Vikings were able to keep Hamilton at bay. Up 19-13 in the third quarter, McGill threw his second touchdown to Donovan Marshall to give the Vikings a 13-point cushion. That lead held until Hamilton’s Quinton Bailey cut the lead to six with the second of his two rushing touchdowns. Princeton’s defense held in the fourth quarter, forcing Hamilton to turn over the ball on downs with two minutes remaining. Through week five, McGill is fourth in the GMC with 534 passing yards to go along with 10 touchdowns, compared to three interceptions. Thomas now has 464 yards and six touchdowns on 84 attempts. He’s averaging 92.8 yards per game. With the win, Princeton increased its record to 5-0 while Hamilton fell to 2-3. Next up: The Vikings host Sycamore Sept. 30.

Wyoming’s Davis picks The Pack By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com

WYOMING - Wyoming High School's 300-pound lineman, Terry Davis, has committed to play football for North Carolina State, according to Wyoming Athletic Director Scott Kaufman. Davis, who stands 6-3, visited Raleigh and the Wolfpack in early September. NC State has several Cincinnati connections on their coaching staff, includ-

ing head coach Tom O'Brien who played high school ball at St. Xavier. Also, Wolfpack offenDavis sive coordinator Dana Bible played and coached at UC and was briefly on the Bengals staff, and defensive line coach Keith Willis was on UC's staff for two years. Davis' commitment came two days before NC State visited Nippert Stadium to

play the Bearcats. Last season, the Wolfpack picked up Walnut Hills tight end Benson Browne. Davis had attracted interest from many schools. Among those UC, Illinois, Miami (OH), Marshall, South Florida, Louisville, Indiana, Ohio, Toledo, Bowling Green, Kent State, Akron, Florida International and Ball State.

Wyoming runner Stites sets her sights By Scott Springer

our district, just because of the strength they have with their top three runners (Elizabeth Heinbach, Elena Horton and Adrian Horton).” Outside of returning firstteam runners Stites and Schwartz, Wyoming’s had some others make promising strides. Junior Amelia Irvine’s times are not far behind the top two Cowboys. “She’s been a varsity runner for three seasons,” Glendenning said. “She’s steadily improved throughout this season. She’s really headed in a positive direction.” Clara Rodrigue is a senior multi-sport athlete for Wyoming. In her senior year, she’s also putting up highly competitive times and has helped the Cowboys’ meet scores. “She also plays volleyball, so it’s a very busy fall for her,” Glendenning said. “Just in the last year or so, she’s really taken to cross country.” Rodrigue also will be the starting point guard for Glendenning’s Wyoming basketball team in a couple of months. Glendenning took over for Angie Edmonds in that position over the summer. Adding to the Wyoming arsenal is a freshman, Katie Spray. She’s already cracked Wyoming’s top five and trails the upperclassmen in front of her by just a few seconds. “She’s coming along,” Glendenning said. “She’s got a lot of talent.” The next look for the Wyoming girls and guys at Indian Hill comes in the CHL meet Oct. 15 at Sharon Woods.

sspringer@communitypress.com

WYOMING - In the Cincinnati Hills League, Cowboys runner Emily Stites is hot on the heels of Indian Hill’s Elizabeth Heinbach. In terms of time, Stites has the lead. However, on the courses, Heinbach has been able to hold off Stites just as Affirmed held off Alydar in thoroughbred racing’s last Triple Crown long before these girls were born. As recent as Sept. 10, the two ran at the Mason Invitational with Stites finishing just a whisper back in 19:24.64. “They had a good race at Mason,” Wyoming coach Travis Glendenning said. “Elizabeth beat Emily by about a second. They kind of ran together pretty much the whole way.” Stites then went to the Eaton Invitational and broke the school record and her own personal record with an 18:47.48, finishing second to Princeton’s Claudia Saunders, who had 18:46.95. Stites currently has the fastest time in the CHL, as does Seth Gold of the Wyoming boys team. “Her best time is better, but Elizabeth has beaten her,” Glendenning said. “I think she (Heinbach) is the gold standard of runners in the area in Division II and that’s one of Emily’s goals. More broadly, I think she’s just been focused on improving her self.” Both Heinbach and Stites are seniors. Heinbach also beat Stites in the state track meet in June in the 3,200

THANKS TO JASON MILLER

Senior Emily Stites recently set a school record at the Eaton Invitational, with a time of 18:47.48. Stites bettered the record by 20 seconds and the time was 30 seconds faster than her previous best.

Wyoming junior Sammy Schwartz has been second only to Emily Stites for the Cowboys this season. Schwartz recently ran 20:33.84 at the Eaton Invitational.

meters. Heinbach was second, Stites fifth. Again, in terms of time, Stites is more than 30 seconds ahead of Heinbach’s recorded best. The rest of Wyoming’s girls team is also making incredible improvements, including junior Sammy Schwartz who led a pack of the Cowboy runners behind Stites recently at the Eaton meet. “Sammy had her best time of the year,” Glendenning said. “All of our top

five - we didn’t run Noel Demott - but the top five we ran all had their best times.” In terms of team scores, Wyoming has been able to beat their nemesis, Indian Hill. Coach Glendenning takes those wins with a grain of salt. “We have, but I don’t know how accurate that is, “ Glendenning said. “We have not seen them at full strength, I don’t think. It’s probably a little early to judge. I still have them as the favorite in our league and

In our best interest: Congress … ‘You’re fired!’ We have descended into “Stupocracy,” a type of government wherein our society is mysteriously incapable of producing intelligent leaders who can make intelligent decisions. This happens after several presidential and congressional election cycles, provided the government remains divided along party lines rather than working together to lead our nation back into prosperous times. We have lost our representative democracy! Our government is directed by interest groups who are looking out only for themselves. Less democracy has delegitimized those governmental actions that have been taken. There is no honor and no integrity in Congress. The lack of such has

because unemployment is a low priority to the moneyed political interests. The people who lead us are those whose parents handed out awards for losing at sports. They were never allowed to develop the discipline to face down tough opposition. They do not know how to win. They were constantly propped up with accolades of their greatness when they were truly pathetic and of their prowess when they were completely inept. We have recently heard loud complaints that we have lost our leadership in space and that we will lose our leadership in technology. What we have definitely lost is our discipline to balance our checkbook and do our homework.

Forty percent of every dollar spent is borrowed! This is irresponsible behavior. It is the responsibility of Congress to make wise decisions, which will result in long-term prosperity for the United States. This is not happening; and, there seems to be a purposeful effort afoot to destroy our economy! President Eisenhower warned us of the “Military Industrial Complex”; and, he warned us not to leave too many troops overseas as the host countries would rely entirely on us for their defense; and, they would not make a serious effort to build their needed defensive infrastructure. Our own supposedly conservative representatives are supporting redundant projects, such as the

unnecessary engine at GEAE and other military projects that both the Pentagon and the various military services say they neither want, nor need. They are also supporting the payment for more than 120,000 troops in Europe, and 50,000 stationed in Japan. Recent polls of other countries resulted in their choosing China as being the new superpower! This perception could become reality if our foolish spending and our costly military intrusions continue. Any increase in interest rates will increase our debt service to the extent that we will not have the funds to be able to prepare our own defense. James Baker 34-year resident of Indian Hill.

One local company went above-and-beyond this call to action. On behalf of the Freestore Foodbank, I would like to thank the employees from AdvancePierre Foods in Springdale who volunteered their time to help package 500 PowerPacks full of food for young children in need as part of their inaugural Volunteer Day Aug. 17.

I’m assuming they’ll roll those savings back to the customer, right?” TastyPhlegm “Hhahahahaha! Money back! They can also turn off your meter now without the aide of a human because a human will not turn off your meter in winter and utility will! Oops I will be sued now for speaking my minde!” notrolly “We’ve had it in Forest Park for awhile and the only thing I can say about it is that

there isn’t any estimated bill. The bill is generated on the same day the meter is read. Duke still based your usage on your usage of last year at the time the meter is read, therefore you may or may not have a savings. My house is all electric, but yet I still get charge for hot water usage, even though I’m the only one in the house and I have a timer on my shower and I don’t use my dishwasher throughout the week because I work and only use it on Sundays when the family comes over for dinner after service, if then.

This saved the taxpayers in this district more tham $13 million on the bond for the new school and is putting money that we voted to pay out back into our pockets. In addition, he found ways to reduce the per student cost by $2,000. With his business acumen Moore is working to reduce costs and make Princeton both an efficient and excellent district. Moore has the time, leadership and business skills needed to create a strong school board and a strong district.

Kenwood detective details working with Princess Diana in new book By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com

Rich McDonough, a private detective who runs Shamus Detective Agency in Silverton and a Kenwood resident, recently wrote a book about his experience working with Princess Diana of Wales in 1993.

KELLY MCBRIDE/STAFF

Rich McDonough was drinking a cup of coffee when he got one morning in 1993. The Kenwood resident and private detective at first thought he was getting a prank call when the voice on the other end said she was Princess Diana of Wales and she needed McDonough's help. He said he was still unsure until he met Princess Diana at The Echo Restaurant in Hyde Park. McDonough, known as “Mac” to his clients, said Princess Diana needed his help finding a friend's child who had been brought to the United States by his father. His company, Shamus Private Detective Agency, specializes in pri-

vate investigation in domestic cases and child custody cases. She had come to the country in secret and wanted McDonough to help her quickly find the child without anyone knowing she was in the United States. He said Princess Diana was very beautiful and had a sweet personality. “I never told anyone (about working with her) except my brother,” McDonough said. He chronicles the experience of chasing down bad guys and sitting on stakeouts with Princess Diana in his new book “A Cincinnati Private Eye Protecting Princess Diana.” He said he chose to write the book now because he felt he could still maintain the confidentiality of the other people involved in the case. “I've always wanted to tell the

Soup plus bread equals a perfect rainy day meal It’s a soup and bread kind of day: drizzly rain, a bit chilly, and the sun hasn’t broken through the clouds at all. The recipes I’m sharing are perfect for autumn. I encourage you to try the bread. You won’t believe how easy it is, less than 5 minutes mixing up the dough, and by hand! Everyone will think it came from an artisan bakery. It’s the perfect accompaniment to my restaurantstyle black bean soup.

Rita’s black bean soup, like Panera’s

For Gerri. This is a good, basic black bean soup that is as close to Panera’s as I can get. But I’ll share yours, too, so don’t be shy about sending it in. Feel free to add more of any of the seasonings. 1 cup finely chopped onion 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 generous cup finely chopped celery 1 ⁄2 cup finely chopped red

bell pepper 1 teas p o o n cumin Pinch or 2 of thyme 2 cans, 15 oz Rita a p p r o x . Heikenfeld b l a c k Rita’s kitchen b e a n s , undrained 1 can vegetable or chicken broth, 14.5 oz size 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water Lemon juice to taste Cayenne pepper to taste Garnish: sour cream, cilantro Film a pot with olive oil. Add onion, garlic, celery, bell pepper, cumin and thyme. Cook until onions are soft but not brown. Add one can of beans and the can of broth. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, and cook about 10 minutes. Puree soup. I use a hand blender but you can use a potato masher – you’ll just get a chunkier soup.

Add rest of beans and cornstarch mixture. Cook until thickened. Stir in lemon juice to taste and cayenne if you like. Garnish as desired. Serves 6.

Easy Artisan No-Knead Bread

Variations of this recipe have been around a few years. It really is so easy, but I’ve given detailed instructions anyway since this is a very unorthodox way of baking bread. Don’t be put off, either, by my long explanation. The best pan for this is a heavy Dutch oven or stockpot, anywhere from 5-7 quart with a lid and it has to be oven safe to 450. I use my Le Creuset enameled cast iron pan. This is beautiful, crusty, better than bakery, bread. For photos of the bread, from start to finish, check out my blog at Cincinnati.com 3 cups bread flour, plus bit more for dusting The original recipe says you can use either bread

flour (it has more protein/gluten than all purpose so you get a more rustic texture) or all purpose. I’ve only made it with bread flour. 1 ⁄4 teaspoon instant yeast (Rapid rise) 11⁄2 teaspoons salt 11⁄2 cups + 1 tablespoon water Olive oil Flour or cornmeal for dusting (I used cornmeal) Whisk flour, yeast and salt together. Make a well in the center. Add water and stir with a spatula for about a minute, until blended. That’s all it takes, time wise. It will look wet and shaggy. Coat inside of a bowl with olive oil. Put dough in bowl and cover with wrap. Let rise 12-14 hours at room temperature, on counter if you want. It will double in size and still look real wet. Remove dough and fold

“Often our friends with special needs get overlooked by society,” said Harmony Hensley, pastor and director of outreach and Inclusion at Vineyard. “The prom is a practical way for us to show God’s love to these folks by celebrating them for the stars that they are.” The church is also asking the community to get involved and support the prom through prize donations such as gift cards, DVDs, CDs, books, entertainment passes and other items, to complete the experience. For information about the prom or to make a donation, visit www.vineyardcincinnati.com/ prom or call the church at 671-0422.

tribute the dough but don’t be too careful - it will bake up just fine. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Remove lid and bake uncovered another 15-30 minutes, until loaf is golden brown and, if you have a thermometer, stick it into the center and it will register 210 degrees when the loaf is done. In my oven this takes about 45-50 minutes total. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author. E-mail columns@communitypress.co m with “Rita’s kitchen” in the subject line.

Vineyard Church plans special prom Vineyard Cincinnati will be hosting the fourth annual prom, an evening gala for nearly 1,000 Cincinnati-area adults with special needs.

over a couple of times. Lay it on the counter or whatever that has been dusted with flour. Let rest 15 minutes. Shape into a ball – the ball will be somewhat flat. Coat a cotton towel (not terry cloth) that has been dusted with cornmeal or flour. Place dough on towel and cover with another towel. Let rise 1-2 hours or until doubled in size. Now preheat your oven to 450 and while it’s preheating put the pan in with the lid on. Some recipes say to put the pan in the oven for at least 30 minutes, but I find the 20 minutes it takes to preheat my oven is just fine. Carefully, with mitts, take the pan out of the oven and remove the lid, again with mitts. Turn the dough over into the pot, bottom side up. It it happens to land top side up, it’s OK.

Title insurance a safety net for those buying homes Today’s extremely low interest rates are prompting some people to look into getting their own home. Many are first-time buyers and, if you’re one of them, there’s one item you need to consider at the time of purchase. Tiah Collins of Westwood said she’s now learned the importance of buying what’s called title insurance. She and her husband had purchased a house on a land contract. “We paid the seller $1,500 a month from August 2006 to May 2007. At that time we were able to get approved for a loan through Wells Fargo Bank,” she said. Collins said they bought the house and began making payments to Wells Fargo. But then, last year, she said, “We got the sheriff knocking on our door saying the house had a ‘for sale’ date. The house was being foreclosed upon.” It turns out even though Collins was making her monthly mortgage pay-

ments, the l o a n belonging to the p r i o r owner had n e v e r been paid Howard Ain off.“ W e Hey Howard! were doing what we were supposed to do, but they say the seller’s loan was the first lien holder on the house,” Collins said. “Therefore, that was the best lien so … we’re just out.” Wells Fargo also sued Collins because the house was being taken over by that prior lender. Fortunately, Wells Fargo was able to get its loan paid in full because it had required Collins to buy title insurance on behalf of the bank. Unfortunately, the Collins didn’t buy title insurance for themselves so they lost the house to the first lender. Had the Collins’ bought an owner’s title insurance policy, it would have paid off the first lender and they could have remained in the

house. “We didn’t buy title insurance because we didn’t know about it. We were first-time home buyers,” she said. On top of everything else, Collins said this whole affair is going to continue to haunt them because it’s going to go against their credit rating. “Had I known about title insurance, definitely I would have gotten it,” she said. Collins later sued the seller but the case was dismissed because no one was able to prove where the money went. Bottom line when buying a house, always hire an attorney to make sure you’re fully protected – especially if you’re a firsttime home buyer. And be sure to consider buying a title insurance policy to protect yourself, not just your lender. Howard Ain answers consumer complaints weekdays on WKRC-TV Local 12.

Wyoming woodworker featured at trade show

PROVIDED

Steve Shanesy, a nationally renowned woodworking expert who lives in Wyoming, will be giving seminars at the Woodworking in America trade show and conference Sept. 30-Oct. 2 at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center. Shanesy’s teaching sessions:

The Contrarian Cabinetmaker (presented Friday Sept. 30, & Sunday,

Oct. 2) What is the appropriate joinery for non-period furniture? This seminar will challenge the accepted ideas about what is “best” and what is “quality” by looking at the engineering of case goods and box building (including drawers). It will also touch on the question of why woodworkers are so chained to the past when it comes to styles and methods of work. Does it not strike anyone as contradictory that woodworkers are eager to learn SketchUp so they can head to the shop and build 18th-century furniture using a lot of hand work? Veneer in Contemporary Work (presented Saturday, Oct. 1, & Sunday, Oct. 2) In this seminar, Steve Shanesy makes case for working with veneer. This seminar will look at how veneer faces are made and pressed, what materials to use from substrates to glues It will also discuss and show by example how to “compose” veneered furniture using balanced layout.

We can handle it all... from socks to comforters!

When: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30-Saturday, Oct. 2. Where: Northern Kentucky Convention Center Admission: $10 at door; $8 in advance online (www.wood workinginamerica.com) Highlights: The Marketplace will include a phenomenal line-up

Rabbi Yisroel Mangel, director of Chabad Jewish Center has announced that traditional Yom Kippur services will be held at the center on 3977 Hunt Road in Blue Ash. Yom Kippur, literally translated as “Day of Atonement,” is a day on which Jews traditionally fast and gather in synagogues to ask God to forgive them for any wrongdoings over the past year. However, Yom Kippur is more than just that. “Yom Kippur is the ‘sequel’ to Rosh Hashanah,” said Rabbi Yisroel Mangel, “On Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, we take resolutions to improve our ways, and in return, we ask G-d to bless us; on Yom Kippur, we work out the particulars.” This year Yom Kippur begins on Thursday, Oct. 6, at sunset and continues through nightfall on Saturday, Oct. 8. Chabad Jewish Center will host this year’s Yom Kippur services, which

A simultaneous children’s service – divided by age – run by Rabbi Berel and Ziporah Cohen will accompany the adult services. begin at 7 p.m. Thursday and on Saturday at 9 a.m. Yizkor, the special memorial service remembering departed loved ones, will take place at noon. Yom Kippur services conclude with the final Shofar blowing at 7:50 pm. All prayers will combine the original Hebrew, as well as translated English. In addition, a simultaneous children’s service – divided by age – run by Rabbi Berel and Ziporah Cohen will accompany the adult services. Tickets are not necessary but reservations are requested. For more information or reservations please call 793-5200.

Church by the Woods

The church offers traditional Sunday worship at 10 a.m. The church is handicapped-accessible. The church conducts English-as-asecond-language classes Saturday mornings. If you need to learn English, or know someone who does, call 563-6447. The church is at 3755 Cornell Road, Sharonville; 563-6447; www.churchbythewoods.org.

Compass Community Church

Compass Community Church takes a different approach to worship, starting with regular Sunday services at Rhinos Live, an entertainment venue. Compass Community Church pastor Dorrien Hinsey needed to find a new home for his three-year-old church. The search had been on for awhile, but some buildings cost too much, others weren’t a good fit for the size of the congregation, and still others were a logistical nightmare when it came to setting up equipment and other elements for a church service. Then he found an unlikely place that seemed “just right.” As he drove by Rhinos Live on Chester Road, he was intrigued by the idea that it was conveniently located, and most likely had the space and equipment he was looking for. After a chat with owner Larry Keckeis, Hinsey knew the hunt had ended with Rhinos. The church held its first service at Rhinos Live in late August 2010. “We’re excited to have found the right spot,” says Hinsey. “Sure, it’s a little different, but then, so are we. This building has the space, equipment, and flexibility to let us do our thing – which is to give folks good music and a sound

message in a casual atmosphere.” Rhinos owner Keckeis agrees, “I’m glad to be able to help Dorrien and his church. I think it’ll bring positive energy to our place.” The church holds services at Rhinos Live, 11473 Chester Road, Sharonville.

Playhouse show comes to Evendale Recreation Center The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park’s production of “What’s Buggin’ Greg” will perform at the Evendale Recreation Center. The show is sponsored by the Evendale Cultural Arts Center and is open to the public. The show will take place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8. There is no charge for admission and is appropriate for ages 7 and up. Plan to stay after the show for some “buggy” snacks and fun. Call 5632247 to reserve your spot. “What’s Buggin’ Greg,” winner of the Macy’s New Play Prize, tells the story of fifth-grader Greg Samsa, who wakes up one morning to discover that he has turned into a giant cockroach. What will he tell his friends? How can he face his schoolmates? Can he still perform the lead in his school play? Will his mom ever hug him again? Or is he doomed to be a science exhibit for the rest of his life? This riotous comedy touches on issues of friendship and self-confidence, as well as body image and disability. “Darrah Cloud has turned the dark and twisted world of Franz Kafka inside out to create a fantastically funny exploration of what it means to be different – really different – in our unforgiving world. I’m not sure who’s going to enjoy it more, the kids or the adult,” director of education Mark Lutwak said. Greg Mallios (Greg Samsa), Lara Miller (Mom), Mark St. Cyr (Darius), Margaret Ivey (Sophie) and Lormarev Jones (Dr. Bob/Dr. Theodora/Dr. Kunkel/GI Joe) from the Playhouse’s Bruce E. Coyle Intern Company will appear in “What’s Buggin’ Greg.” Mark Lutwak will direct. Other members of the production team include Jen Lampson (set designer), Melanie Mortimer (costume designer), Karie-Lee Sutherland (choreographer) and Sydney Kuhlman (stage manager). “What’s Buggin’ Greg” will tour area schools and community arts centers for grades three through six this fall from Oct. 1 through Nov. 6.
