Harrison gone; lawsuit remains
Attorney will proceed against former manager, city By Kelly McBride
kmcbride@communitypress.com
Wyoming’s interim city manager took her seat at the dais, taking the reins after City Manager Bob Harrison left his post of 12 years for a job in Issaquah, Wash. After an executive session, city council members voted unanimously to appoint Lynn Tetley, who has worked as assistant city manager in Wyoming since 2006. “We’re excited to have Lynn on board,” Mayor Barry Porter said Monday, Sept. 20, after the meeting. When information about Harrison’s severance agreement was requested that night, Wyoming Solicitor Frank Klaine supplied a press release instead. It outlined Harrison’s accomplishments, and contained comments from Harrison, who did not attend the Monday night council meeting. “I’m excited about accepting this new position with the city of Issaquah,” Harrison said in the statement. “It is a great career opportunity and the Washington climate will be a real benefit for my wife’s medical condition. “I have been fortunate to have worked with so many committee volunteers in the community so that we could together accomplish great things,” he said in the statement.

Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger said she was aware of the lawsuit before she offered Harrison the job, according to a news report by the Issaquah Press. “I am lucky to have served under this city council, as well as the previous five councils, who, through their leadership have brought great foresight, commitment and dedication to public
service to their elected roles. “Lastly, I have great fondness for the hard-working employees of the city of Wyoming who have always demonstrated their commitment to the community,” Harrison said. The press release did not include information about the severance agreement. Several subsequent requests to Klaine and another attorney at Strauss and Troy went unanswered the following day.
It was unclear whether the severance agreement would address whether the city of Wyoming would continue to be involved in a lawsuit filed against Harrison and the city by former employees Cathy Deters, Michael Pearl and Monica Miller. The three former employees of Wyoming’s recreation department haven’t worked for the city since September 2009, after they were

Local firms contribute to education at Princeton By Kelly McBride
What is 21st century learning?
kmcbride@communitypress.com
Every week, a school bus pulls up to the curb at netTrekker in Sharonville to take employees to Princeton High School. The staff of the educational search tool company serve as mentors to students at the local Wilhelm high school as part of a corporate partnership. It’s part of 21st century learning, which helps prepare students through skills, content knowledge, expertise and literacy for the requirements of the 21st century. “Our business is in this community,” CEO Randy Wilhelm said of netTrekker’s investment in Princeton. “We help kids learn around the world, but we would not be good corporate citizens if we were not involved with the local schools,” he said. “We have found an innovative district, and it’s fun,” Wilhelm said. “Princeton has created an

Wilhelm said 94 percent of his employees have chosen to participate. They focus on safety, goal-setting and diversity, among other topics. “It brings context to kids about what it’s like in the real world,” Wilhelm said. “And we can accentuate the three Rs if they’re taught in a meaningful way.”

They must make up their school work for that day each month. “This is valuable to students,” said Brian Lien, an engineering and architecture teacher at Princeton. “Students gain more education in one day a month than they will in class.” In addition, they will be able to list that experience on applications for college and subsequent internships. “As the quote goes,” Lien said, “don’t let your education get in the way of life experiences.”

Lawsuit accused of drinking alcoholic beverages on city property. Among other actions, the lawsuit accuses Harrison, individually and as city manager, 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. In the lawsuit, Harrison is accused of race, disability and gender discrimination; common law fraud; civil conspiracy; intentional infliction of emotional distress; false imprisonment; and breach of Ohio public policy regarding retaliation against employees for complaining of discrimination. “Mr. Harrison’s departure will have no effect on the case,” said attorney Randy Freking, who represents Deters, Pearl and Miller. “He’s still a defendant, as well as everyone else. “If he is held individually liable, I presume the city will indemnify him (pay the judgment),” Freking said Tuesday. “We are still hoping the city will reinstate the individuals as part of a settlement because they’ve
Continued from A1 Assistant named acting city manager
As Wyoming’s assistant city manager settles in to her appointment as acting city manager after the resignation of Bob Harrison, the city has issued a statement about Lynn Tetley. “I feel very honored to serve the city of Wyoming in this capacity,” Tetley said in the statement. “We have very dedicated and talented employees that work very hard to make this community the special and unique place that it is. As always, I will serve with enthusiasm and dedication.” Tetley has worked for the city of Wyoming since December 2006, when she was hired as the assistant to the city manager, and later promoted to assistant city manager in January 2008. Tetley has experience in senior levels of local government, having served as village administrator in Williamsburg, Ohio, for three years and previously serving as a city planner and marketing specialist in her home state of Missouri. She holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Missouri. While employed in Wyoming, Tetley has worked on the city’s human resource function, labor relations, and a variety of special projects. She has supervised and managed many operations within the city, including the finance department, communications and marketing, administrative Services, and the community development/building department. “We are extremely fortunate to have a person of Lynn’s background and experience to assume the management of the city,” Mayor Barry Porter said in the statement. “She knows Wyoming and has worked well with the city’s staff and its volunteers. “I know Lynn will give the city her very best,” he said. “We are very happy to have her as our acting city manager.” – Community Press Staff Report already suffered enough.” Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger said she was aware of the lawsuit before she offered Harrison the job, according to a news report by the Issaquah Press.
Frisinger’s appointment of Harrison as city administrator was approved unanimously Monday night by the Issaquah city council.

Princeton producing bilingual ‘Aladdin’ sequel By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

The cast of characters in the Aladdin sequel include, from left: Benny Poynter as Abu, Joshua Newell as Aladdin, Greg Hammons as Genie and Yesenia Galindo as Jasmine.

Each seat plaque, to be attached to the chair at the Sharonville Fine Arts theater, will include three lines of type.
After his mishap with Aladdin and Jasmine, Jafar has decided he wants to rule the country. To gain power, he creates a language barrier, using one wish to make the ruling class speak Spanish, and the lower class speak English. But, he speaks both languages, giving him power over both. This special edition by Disney is being produced by Princeton High School for performances Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 2 at 11 a.m. at Matthews Auditorium. To produce the bilingual play, director Michael Fielder had to cast the characters according to language skills as well as acting finesse. It was a challenge met with vigor among the actors. “This play shows that Princeton really is diverse,” said Yesenia Galindo, who plays Jasmine. She is fluent in Spanish. It’s her first play, and as the lead, the challenge “is

A language barrier can’t keep Aladdin, played by Joshua Newell, and Jasmine, played by Yesenia Galindo, apart as they ride the “magic carpet.” more of the acting part.” “I had to slow it down for the play, because I’m used to speaking it (in conversation),” Galindo said. The bilingual aspect is what compelled Galindo to try out for the role of Jasmine. Without giving away the ending, the actors said the characters spoke both languages at the end of the play. That meant that Joshua Newell, who played Aladdin and spoke English for the
majority of the production, had to also learn lines in Spanish. “I had learned French (in high school),” he said. “Spanish is completely different. “I had to learn to speak Spanish with the same clarity that I speak English.” To help do that, Spanish teacher Caesar Vanegas worked as the language coach. A few of the characters are bilingual. Benny Poynter, as Abu the monkey, and
Greg Hammons as Genie, had to learn their lines in both languages. “It was a lot of work,” Hammons said. “It’s more than usual because of the dual languages. “But the play is directed to kids, so it’s more fun,” he said of the production. Poynter, who studied Spanish for two years at Princeton, said his lines as Abu were tougher because they’re in Spanish as well as English. As far as the story goes, the actors said they enjoy the production, created for high school performances. Fielder, as the director, is producing Aladdin as part of his master’s thesis at Roosevelt University in Chicago. Evaluators will attend the performance at Matthews Auditorium. “The text is cleverly sculpted,” Fielder said of the script. Each line spoken in Spanish is answered in English or the question is repeated, allowing the audience to follow the story line
even if they don’t speak Spanish. “It goes back and forth fluidly,” Fielder said, adding that the animal characters and the Genie were bilingual, to help the audience follow the story line. For those that aren’t bilingual, Fielder said, “Don’t worry. “You’re going to understand it,” he said. “And you’ll enjoy it.”

Springdale put over-the-limit drivers under arrest By Kelly McBride
designed to bring awareness to drivers as they attend social gatherings on the last traditional weekend of the summer, said Lt. Tom Wells of the Springdale Police Dept. Springdale police reported 13 arrests for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence, or OVI. Among them was an arrest after a driver, who was involved in a crash, registered a blood alcohol level of .409. The legal limit is .08. “That’s more than five times the legal limit,” Wells said. “Until the crash, he was driving with a (blood alcohol) level that normally would render a person unconscious or even dead.”
kmcbride@communitypress.com
Fatal crashes on Ohio roadways this year during the Labor Day weekend, down 59 percent over 2009, included only one death that is thought to be alcohol-related, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. That report, which listed seven deaths from the evening of Sept. 4 through the end of Sept. 6, was part of the annual national campaign called Over the Limit Under Arrest, in which alcohol-related arrests were tracked over the Labor Day holiday, from Aug. 22 through Sept. 6. The campaign was
Drivers were reminded, or warned, of the national campaign through banners, ARTIMIS signs and checkpoints before and throughout the weekend. One night brought an OVI arrest after the driver crashed into a sign. Later that night, another driver was pulled over for weaving, a driving behavior that often indicates a drunk driver. When the Springdale officer pulled the car over, the car’s passenger bolted into nearby woods. The driver was arrested after drugs and a large amount of money was found, as well. The incident was a reminder that police are in unpredictable situations

dangerous weekend related to OVI,” Wells said of the Labor Day holiday. “Our focus is to educate
people about he dangers of drinking and driving,” he said. “It’s not the drinking that’s a problem, it’s the driving,” Wells said. “We’re not discouraging people from enjoying themselves, we just don’t want them to mix it with driving. “The two simply do not mix.” Springdale Officer Michael Ott was one of a handful of police officers honored in 2009 as a Top Cop by Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s Southwestern Ohio Affiliate. He was, and continues to be, a leader in OVI arrests. And he puts it simply: “It’s just not worth it.”

Former Girl Scouts reconnect, plant tree By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com
A maple tree at Stanbery Park will serve as a memento for a former Mt. Washington Girl Scout Troop. Former members of Girl Scout Troop 223, many of whom had started as Brownies in the 1940s, recently gathered at the park to reminisce and
remember troop leaders Alice Taylor and Ann Zschau. While some were Tristate residents, others came from as far away as Connecticut, Colorado and Florida. “It was a very close knit group,” said Lenore “Bunny” Schneider, 74, of Bradenton, Fla. “We had creative leaders who would go all out.” Schneider said the group would travel frequently vis-
iting locations as diverse as Williamsburg, Va., and Toronto, Canada. They would also gather at Stanbery Park to gather clay for crafts and cook pancakes on a metal can, she said. Patty Shannon, 74, whose mother, Alice, was one of the troop leaders, had remained in touch with a number of the other Girl Scouts throughout the years.
“I felt we needed to do something in memory of the troop and (its) leaders,” said Shannon, a resident of Ashford, Conn. “Our mothers played a very important role.” Sharonville resident Barbara Frey, 73, said she welcomed the opportunity to reconnect with her former troop partners. “It brings back many fond memories,” she said.

Moeller powers through St. Xavier
By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Moeller High School football team saw its chance at winning the GCL crown this season boosted after a big road win over rival St. Xavier 17-7 Sept. 24. Moeller coach John Rodenberg said the key for the Crusaders is their conditioning. Moeller (5-0) was down 7-0 at halftime and the come-from-behind win is Moeller’s third this season. “We’re in good shape. We’re a big, strong team and what makes us effective is that we wear people out,” Rodenberg said. “We stuck to our plan and wore St. Xavier out.” St. Xavier scored a touchdown on the first drive of the game but the Moeller defense shut the Bombers down after that, limiting the leading rusher in the GCL, Conor Hundley, to 88 yards. On the other side, Moeller running back Tucker Skove carved up the St. Xavier defense for 206 rushing yards on 38 carries, two of which went for touchdowns. The Moeller offensive line punched some big holes in the Bombers defense for Skove. “Tucker played a good game, the offensive line played well, everyone did their job,” Rodenberg said. “We’re not a team with one or two all-stars, we have a lot of guys working together. The line opened holes for Tucker, the defensive line did some good things, we had good pass coverage, which leads to sacks, we had good pass rush, which

Moeller offense averaged 4.5 yards per carry. Rodenberg said the win was a big win for Moeller, but said it could be ruined if the Crusaders don’t contin-
ue to execute well. “I told our players to enjoy it this weekend but come Monday, it is week six and we need to get back to work,” Rodenberg said. Moeller plays at Indianapolis Cathedral Friday, Oct. 1. Rodenberg said Indianapolis Cathedral plays a similar style to St. Xavier. “They are an awful lot like a GCL team,” Rodenberg said. “A win over St. X gives guys confidence, but you don’t want to beat St. X and then ruin it the next week with a loss. It’s important for us to get back to work.”

Wyoming golf rides hot streak into postseason By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Wyoming High School boys golf team has had another strong regular season as the Cowboys were 204 heading into the CHL championship. With the sectional tournament on the horizon, head coach Rod Crider said he’s proud of the way the team has played. Crider said the boys have dedicated the season to their former teammate and classmate, Rich Beck, who was killed in a car accident last spring. “They were close to him and dedicating the season to him gave them some extra inspiration, but also an added layer of pressure to go out and play well,” Crider said. “Those boys have played well in the face of everything they have had to go through and I’m proud of them.” Crider said that coaches hope for kids “to pick up on something bigger
than themselves.” “To understand the world outside of themselves at this young age speaks well to the kids and how well they have been raised by their parents,” Crider said. “It’s a neat thing to watch.” The Cowboys have been led by Adam Crider, with an average of 40.1. Joseph Dulemba is a hair behind, with an average of 40.3, and Colin Fogel, Sam Meyers, Brian Spitzig, Patrick Schuholz and Zach Galluzzo are all in the top 15 in the conference in average. Crider said Fogel played as a freshman, but did not play the last two years before coming out again as a senior. “I wasn’t sure what to expect from him, but he has kept his game up and he has been a huge contributor,” Crider said. The Cowboys are set to defend their sectional championship and Wyoming
should be prepared for tournament action after playing a tough regular season schedule. “As the old saying goes, “iron sharpens iron,” so we have to play the best teams if we want to be the best and the postseason tournaments will be the true test of how far we’ve come,” Crider said. The Cowboys finished one place out of qualifying for state in 2009 and faced some strong competition in the regular season, including Oakwood, the defending Division II state champion. Wyoming returns many of the key players from the 2009 team and that experience should help prepare the Cowboys for the postseason. “Hopefully they will still have some nerves, because if you don’t it’s because you don’t really care,” Crider said. “But, the kids have been through it before so they have a better understanding of what to expect, and hopefully that plays to our advantage.”

Ursuline field hockey has playoff hopes By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com
After finishing third in league play last season, the Ursuline Lions field hockey team and head coach Elli Workum have post-season expectations for later this fall. The Lions are 2-2 to start the season, but Workum is confident the Lions will have success through the rest of the year. Workum added that the squad’s two losses came at the hands of two talented Kentucky teams in Kentucky Country Day and Assumption High School. Workum knew the outof-state match-ups would be difficult, but the coach believes in scheduling strong opponents in out-ofleague games because the contests serve as a barometer of how her team is performing. “We want to see the toughest competition we can,” Workum said. The Lions’ success this season will depend on an offense led by senior Frannie Ross (five goals, three assists), junior Nicole Mitchell (three goals), junior Alex Migley (one goal), and junior Lindsay Krammes (one goal).
Senior forwards Anna Ulliman and Katherine Finke will also be counted on and have already contributed a combined three assists to the Lions’ goalscoring efforts. The Lions’ title hopes will also rely on how well its defense can stop opponents. The unit is led by senior Megan Schnicke and sophomore goalie Abby Meehan. Meehan has one shutout credited to her this season. The defense also has depth, which can make the team tough to match-up against late in games. Marissa Mitchell and Haley Chapline are two of the girls Workum can count on to come off the bench and make an impact. “I’ve got some really strong defenders and I don’t even have to worry when we have to sub,” Workum said. “They could play 10 minutes and you wouldn’t even know there was a change in players.” The success of the season could also depend on the team’s senior leadership, according to Workum. Ursuline graduated 10 players from last season’s field hockey team, and now has eight seniors on the roster. “I’ve got seniors who are
really humble and doing everything in their power to be great leaders on the team...a lot of girls get senioritis, but these girls don’t do that...they just go out and do the job.” Three of those seniors, have expressed the desire to play field hockey collegiatley, which pleases Workum. According to the coach, Schnicke, Ellie Robertson, and Lauren Stacey have expressed interest in playing the sport beyond high school. The news is pleasing to Workum, who is concerned about the level of participation in the sport throughout the area. “Field hockey is another opportunity for girls to grow in athletics,” she said. “It’s not dead end. You can play in college,” Workum said. “We just have to educate other schools about the sport and what it can do for their girls.” As for the team’s playoff goals, Workum is staying optimistic. “I hope this team can move on very far into postseason play,” Workum said. “I think anybody in our league has an opportunity, but I feel like we have a chance to move into the state tournament.”

MND field hockey seeks consistency By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
After alternating wins and losses through its first eight games, the Mount Notre Dame High School field hockey team is searching for consistency. “We’re just starting to hit our stride,” MND head coach Don Johnson said. It’s been a back-andforth couple of weeks for the Cougars. They fell to Ursuline in their season-opener Sept. 1 before knocking off Talawanda Sept. 9 and splitting two games against teams from Detroit – losing to Sacred Heart and beating Country Day – Sept. 11. MND then lost to St. Ursula, beat Lancaster, lost to
Thomas Worthington and beat Indian Hill. The Cougars are 4-4 (entering play Sept. 25). “It’s been a little rough the first few weeks,” Johnson said. “We needed to find the right formations.” Senior captains Beth Warning (forward), Lauren DiNardo (defender) and Molly Hildebrandt (centermidfielder) have led the team. “Beth brings leadership, and she has good stick skills,” Johnson said. “Our team has great unity. Our captains pull the girls together and keep them going.” Johnson has also been impressed with the rapport of seniors Casey Towle, a
defensive midfielder, and Abbey Hopkins. “They play very well together,” he said. Other contributors include seniors Eva Antenucci, Rachel Drumm, Hayley Hopkins, Maggie Steele and Jen Vonderbrink; juniors Megan Elam, Boston Ford, Taylor Ford, Elly Grimm, Morgan Parker and Stephanie Pohlman; and sophomores Emily Beitman and Marissa White. MND, which played Watterson Sept. 25, plays at Oakwood Sept. 30 before returning home for a match against Liberty Oct. 2. The Cougars close the regular season against Summit Country Day Oct. 5, at Kettering Fairmont Oct. 7 and

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Candidate desperate
Desperate situations require desperate solutions. Mike Wilson must be desperate for support in the 28th House District as he is now relying on residents who don’t live in his district to plead his cause like letter writer Ray Warrick (Sept. 15), who actually lives and votes in Mason, not Blue Ash. In his letter Mr. Warrick accuses Mr. Wilson’s opponent, Connie Pillich of using a liberal talking point and then proceeds to spew forth overused conservative talking points. Warrick ends by stating that Wilson is clearly the best choice, but fails to offer any support for his conclusion. Theresa McMillin’s letter (also Sept. 15) is a non-stop tirade implying that Ms. Pillich is a blatant liar and accusing Pillich of twisting facts. Ms. McMillin then states she “demands” a representative who will be accountable to her for decisions, implying that Ms. Pillich hasn’t been. This is most interesting as in the almost 37 years I have lived in

How far do you think the Reds will go in the playoffs? Why? “My answer: first round. “Why? Because whenever I get enthusiastic about our teams, be it the Reds or Bengals, they lose.

It will have to come together strong for Reds pitching in October. “We need see strong outings by starting pitchers Arroyo, Cueto and Volquez. Furthermore, Cordero will pull it together and nail down some saves. “I am going to call Reds win the World Series in six games, at home. By the way, I made the same call in ’90. I was off by two games!” D.M. “I really, really want them to go all the way. However, inconsistent performance, I’m afraid, will be their downfall. Hope I’m wrong.” B.N. “Positive thinking. They will go to the World Series.” S.B-T. “I predict they will make it to the World Series and definitely be in the running to win the whole thing!” K.K.

Sharonville, I can not recall a state representative who made a bigger effort at keeping her constituents informed including the regular column in this periodical as well as a prodigious speaking schedule to a wide variety of groups. Nowhere does Ms. McMillin indicate what Ms. Pillich is lying about or what facts she is supposedly twisting. In truth, Ms. McMillin gives the impression she probably didn’t read the letter to which she is supposedly responding to as she refers to it as an opinion column which it clearly wasn’t. Mike Wilson’s supporters are much like Mr. Wilson himself. The candidate spouts a lot of Tea Party rhetoric, but is unable to provide specifics on how his ambitious promises might to be accomplished.

Pillich not fiscal conservative
Connie Pillich stated in her Sept. 1 letter to the editor “I am a
fiscal conservative.” Really? Fiscal conservatives do not favor tax increases. Connie voted for House Bill 318, raising our state income taxes by 4.2 percent. Mike Wilson has signed the Americans for Tax Reform pledge. Mike will not vote for any net tax increases. Fiscal conservatives do not support impractical infrastructure projects. Connie supports the “Eastern Corridor” commuter rail project that is to be built from Cleveland to Cincinnati. It will be a six-stop, 6 1/2-hour trip costing $38 one way! Federal stimulus funds (your federal tax dollars) will pay for it. Guess what? The long-term plan is to replace the slow moving service with new high-speed trains using the same lines. Where is that money going to come from? You! You get to pay twice! Mike Wilson is opposed to unnecessary, wasteful stimulus spending. Fiscal conservatives are probusiness. Currently, we have the fourth worst business climate in
our nation. Connie has voted with the extremely liberal Ohio house leadership 100 percent of the time. She is a rubber stamp for the failed Democratic policies that have driven over 400,000 jobs from Ohio since Gov. Strickland was elected. Mike Wilson will work to cut state spending and reduce our tax burden to give small businesses the freedom to innovate and create jobs. Mike is endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Business, the Ohio State Medical Association, Associated Builders and Contractors and the Cincinnati Board of Realtors. I urge you to investigate who Mike Wilson is and what he stands for. Go to a campaign event and ask him challenging questions. You will be impressed with Mike and the candor with which he speaks. Connie Pillich is a committed progressive. Connie has thousands of dollars from labor union bosses (many from out of state), Emily’s List, SEIU and other liberal special interest groups pouring

Numbers: State has reduced spending Tea Party Candidate Mike Wilson promised to be different, but he uses the same political spin that we’ve all grown tired of. In his latest letter, he continues to use false and misleading propaganda to spin his own story. His claims that Ohio increased spending are patently false. It’s not just me saying this. The nonpartisan Legislative Service Commission clearly shows that state spending was cut by $2 billion and the size of government has been significantly reduced in recent years. The Columbus Dispatch also notes that state spending decreased and that claims of increased spending are “wrong and misleading.” They explain that the general revenue fund is specifically Ohio tax dollars and it is the budget that the state legislature has the most discretion over. Using the all funds budget (as Wilson did) as a measuring stick is a false comparison because it
includes nonstate tax dollars over which the legislature has little authority. I understand that Mike Wilson might want to say that Ohio State Rep. increased spendConnie ing. It helps his Pillich campaign mesbut it’s Community sage, simply not true. Press guest Unlike the federcolumnist al government, we cannot print money in Ohio. We can only spend what we take in. We took in less. We spent less. A little history is helpful here since Wilson is hoping to join the House Republicans. These folks know a little something about increasing spending. From 1994 to 2006, when the GOP controlled the statehouse and the governor’s office, state spending increased by
an average of 9.7 percent each budget. They also presided over the largest state bureaucracy in Ohio history. Here’s what we’ve done to reduce spending and reduce the size of state government in just a few short years: • Ohio’s current budget is 3.9 percent smaller than the previous budget. • Ohio’s current budget reversed a 40-year trend of double-digit spending increases. • We reduced the state payroll by 2,000 employees. • Many health and human services and public agencies had reduced state funding. • We maintained the 2008 income tax rates, avoiding a tax increase that many other states opted to do. Republican state lawmakers’ legacy of high spending becomes clear when you look at how the budget increased and how state government grew on their watch.
You would never know this if you just listened to the rhetoric. The facts show there was very little fiscal restraint from 1994 to 2006. Fortunately, we have begun to reverse this trend. Ohio’s constitution requires us to balance our state budget. We did. And we did it while protecting funding for public education, providing tax incentives for targeted industries, and protecting those hardest hit by national recession. In fact, Ohio’s unemployment rate dropped for the fifth straight month because we exercised fiscal restraint and invested in the job creation to help lay the groundwork for economic recovery. We have a lot of work to do, but we must continue the progress we’ve made. We cannot afford to go backwards. Connie Pillich is state representative from Ohio’s 28th District. She is running for re-election in November.
Smoke alarms: Up, down, all around In an effort to better educate communities throughout the U.S. about smoke alarm recommendations, the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association is promoting “Smoke Alarms: A Sound You Can Live With!” for this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, Oct. 3-9, which Wyoming is supporting locally. NFPA has been the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for 88 years. “Many homes in Wyoming may not have any smoke alarms, not enough smoke alarms, alarms that are too old, or alarms that are not working,” Wyoming Fire and EMS Chief Chief Robert Rielage said. “We want residents to understand that working smoke alarms are needed in every home, on every level (including the basement), outside each sleeping area and inside each bedroom. And, if a smoke alarm is 10 years old or older, it needs to be replaced.” According to Rielage, smoke alarms can mean the difference between life and death in a fire. In the past 35 years, smoke alarms
have reduced the annual number of fire deaths from 15,000 in 1975 to 3,000 in 2009. A working smoke alarm significantly reduces Andrea your chances of Glassman dying in a fire. twoCommunity Roughly thirds of all Press guest home fire deaths columnist result from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. The Wyoming Fire and EMS Department will be hosting activities including visiting schools and preschools to practice fire drills during Fire Prevention Week to promote “Smoke Alarms: A Sound You Can Live With!” locally. Through these educational, family-oriented activities, residents can learn more about the power of smoke alarms, newer options for installing and maintaining them
NFPA and Wyoming Fire and EMS Department agree that interconnected smoke alarms offer the best protection; when one sounds, they all do.
properly, and ultimately, how to better protect their loved ones from fire. NFPA and Wyoming Fire and EMS Department agree that interconnected smoke alarms offer the best protection; when one sounds, they all do. This is particularly important in larger or multi-story homes, where the sound from distant smoke alarms may be reduced to the point that it may not be loud enough to provide proper warning, especially for sleeping individuals. “Most people have a sense of
complacency about smoke alarms because they already have one in their homes. The Wyoming Fire and EMS Department offers the following tips for making sure smoke alarms are maintained and working properly: • Test smoke alarms once a month using the test button, and make sure everyone in your home knows their sound. • If an alarm “chirps,” warning the battery is low, replace the battery right away. • Replace all smoke alarms, including alarms that use 10-year batteries and hard-wired alarms, when they’re 10 years old (or sooner) if they do not respond properly when tested. • Never remove or disable a smoke alarm. To learn more about “Smoke Alarms: A Sound You Can Live With!” visit NFPA’s Web site at www. firepreventionweek.org. Andrea Glassman is a registered nurse and paramedic. She has lived in Wyoming for 25 years.

After 60 years, a major display of pride On Aug. 27, the children of Major John Jason Phillips proudly gathered along with his granddaughter and other relatives to attend a service at Arlington National Cemetery, where a headstone for Major Phillips has finally been erected. There, they also received a certificate awarded “by a grateful nation in recognition of devoted and selfless consecration the service of our Evelyn to country in the Perkins Armed Forced of the States”, Community United Press signed by President Obama. columnist Barack When John Jason Phillips Sr. was born Oct. 8, 1911, he became the first child of Mary and John Phillips born in Woodlawn. His older sister and brother, Clarissa and Benjamin had been born in Indiana. His parents deemed that he should be named for his father and his maternal grandfather, Jason Bryant from Kentucky. John excelled at his studies and graduated from Woodlawn Elementary School. Daily he had to walk from Woodlawn to Lockland High School. At Wilberforce University, he became an admired gentleman and scholar. When his youngest sister, Emma, attended several years after he graduated, professors advised her that she had large footprints in which to follow. His home church, the First Baptist Church of Woodlawn, is the oldest church in the village and one his parents helped build. Although his father

Major John J. Phillips, Korean War casualty
worked for the railroad, he was also an excellent carpenter who lent his skills to the construction of the building. John was a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and the Woodlawn Board of Education. He organized the Valley Co-op store in Lincoln Heights and taught night school. He married Mary Eugenia Chenault (deceased 2008) from Cincinnati, and they had three children: John Jason Jr. (US Army retired), Carolyn and Eugene. He received his military training in the Reserve Officers Training Corp at Wilberforce, from which he was assigned to the 372nd Division of the Army. A later assignment found him with the 92nd Infantry Division, the Army’s second African-American Division.
The buffalo insignia that the 92nd wore during WWI was again adopted. A member of the 365th Regiment, John served in Italy, was a member of the 24th Infantry Division in Japan, and the 2nd Infantry Division in Korea. With the outbreak of hostilities in Korea during the summer of 1950, the 2nd Infantry Division was the first division to arrive. They landed via Pusan on July 23rd and John was wounded there in October 1950. He received the Silver Star for gallantry in action. Declared missing in action on Nov. 30, 1950, the Purple Heart and a promotion to major were awarded posthumously. A letter from Maj. Gen. William E. Bergin, adjutant general of the Army stated, a review of Phillips’ records “showed that he was qualified and deserving of promotion” although still missing. On Feb. 18, 1954, Major Phillips was officially declared dead and a memorial service was held on Feb. 28, 1954, at the John R. Post 631 American Legion in Lockland. Emma is his last remaining sibling. The Army is storing her blood sample for mitochondrial DNA matching if the remains of Major Phillips are ever located in North Korea. The Army remains active in trying to bring this about. Every year one of Major Phillips’ children attends the annual meetings held by the military for the families of soldiers still unaccounted for from every war since WWII.

Empty churches, crowded pathways and loneliness Over most of my many years as a priest, when I offered Sunday Mass it was done in a crowded church. Sometimes only standing room. No longer is that so except for Christmas and Easter. The Cincinnati Enquirer (Sept. 19, 2010) carried a front page story about diminishing Mass attendance in Catholic churches. Except for non-denominational groups, many Christian churches are experiencing the same problem. More than one-quarter of American adults have left the faith of their childhood. So says the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life based on reviews with 35,000 adults. The people who are not at church on Sunday are not at home brooding over the church’s faults. They are sleeping, shopping at the mall, working in their yard, having team practices, jogging, walking, watching football or baseball, etc. They want the church to be there when they want it, even if they do not want it very often. These are not bad people. There is no conscious conspiracy against going to church, values and spiritu-
Father Lou Guntzelman Perspectives
a l i t y . What is happening is that a number of important factors have been happening over the last 50 years that h a v e brought us
to this point. Now it has become difficult not just to think about God or to pray, but to have any interior depth whatsoever. Father Ronald Rolheiser writes, “It is not that we have anything against God, depth and spirit, it is just that we are habitually too preoccupied to have any of these show up on our radar screens. We are more busy than bad, more distracted than nonspiritual, and more interested in the movie theater, the sports stadium, and the shopping mall and the fantasy life they produce than we are in church.” Besides this busyness and preoccupation, another significant factor that has “gotten to us” is individualism. After countless centuries, the modern world is
shifting from being ruled by the power of the mace and the miter. Now spiritual authority is seen as especially being held in the hands of the individual person and his or her conscience. “Habits of the Heart” is a successful book first published in the mid-1980s. One of its chief observations was the growing number of youth and adults who looked to themselves alone as the possessors of spiritual truth, not organized religion. As a result of this book, a study was done. One of the participants in the study was Sheila Larson, a young nurse. She expressed her idea of religion and spirituality thus: “I believe in God. I’m not a religious fanatic. I can’t remember the last time I went to church. My faith has carried me a long way. It’s Sheilaism. Just my own little voice.” So succinctly did she verbalize extreme individualism that ever since the name Sheilaism designates many who live their lives accordingly. The spirituality revolution that is going on assumes that the individual knows best. The idea is that
a person who is independent of organized religion and from centuries of religious indoctrination and tradition, becomes more free and truly spiritual. They bristle at authoritative approaches to their personal spirituality and relationship with God. Individualism usually leads to isolation and loneliness. It encourages us to think of ourselves as self-sufficient and self-enclosed. What is lost is a sense of communal togetherness,
support during stressful times of life and death, and the absence of fulfilling rituals of passage such as baptisms, weddings, funerals, etc. As the years go by and questions about life and death multiply, extreme individualists experience an increasing spiritual illiteracy. They lack a fuller and sustaining grasp of crucial beliefs such as baptism, the incarnation, resurrection, redemption, and an adult understanding of scripture. Authoritarianism and

Fraud alert one way to prevent identity theft One of the most popular ways for criminals to steal your identity is to try to get a credit card in your name. If they succeed they can run up thousands of dollars in charges, and you may not find out until the thief has fled. Amy Winegardner of Wyoming suspected someone was trying to steal her identity when a financial company notified her about a credit card for which she had never applied. “I got a letter saying my husband and I had applied for a credit card and that we were declined. I would never had applied for one, and I’m like surprised,” she said. Winegardner was not only surprised but a little worried too about what such a credit application really means. “I think somebody got information on me and applied for a credit card and … but my credit’s not the best so it was declined – which was great,” she said. This is not the first time something like this has happened. “In 2008 there was (an unauthorized) withdrawal out of my checking account from a German file hosting company,” Winegardner said. I had Winegardner check her credit report on the Internet. She said she hadn’t checked it in quite a while. She needed to look for unusual things like unauthorized credit card applications and accounts. Winegardner checked
and found nothing out of the ordinary. However, because someone did try to open a credit card in her name, she filed a fraud alert with the c r e d i t bureau. She says she never Howard Ain r e a l i z e d this was Hey Howard! an action she could and should take. “No, I didn’t until we were reading the ‘requently asked questions.’ Like it said, the initial alert is for 90 days and the extended one is for seven years.” You can place an extended fraud alert on your credit bureau report if you’ve been the victim of identity theft and provide the credit bureau with a police identity theft report. Fraud alerts prevent an identity thief from opening any accounts in your name. You only need to contact one of the three credit reporting companies to have an alert placed on all their reports. When a business sees the alert it must first verify your identity before issuing credit. Be advised, this may cause some delays if you apply for credit. You should check your credit report yearly and can do so for free at www.annualcreditreport.com. Howard Ain answers consumer complaints weekdays on WKRC-TV Local 12. Write to him at 12 WKRC-TV, 1906

poor education by church leaders, and individualism and lack of openness by church members, are the two things that will keep lessening the effectiveness of religion in our day.

Tempt them with some homemade apple rollups Today’s the first day of autumn and even though the temperature is at an alltime high, it still feels like fall outside, what with the leaves falling from the trees and crinkling underfoot, Rita and the Heikenfeld ar i pp epnli en gs our Rita’s kitchen on tree. (We don’t have many apples this year, and I have to be vigilant about picking them before the deer find them). And I’ve had a slew of requests to make homemade applesauce and “fruit rollups like you buy but without all the artificial stuff.” I’m happy to say I can help on both counts!
Homemade applesauce, fruit rollups/leather
I make this from apples, but pears work well, too. Making your own lets you be in control of the amount of sugar, if any, you add.
To see my online video for making homemade applesauce, check out my blog at Cincinnati.com.
Pink Ribbon lunch
What: Ninth annual pink ribbon program and luncheon with Cat Cora. Where: Duke Energy Convention Center, downtown Cincinnati When: Monday, Oct. 4, at noon Details: Visit www.pinkribbonluncheon.org or call 1-866-577-7465.
Preparation:
Wash, core and cut 3 to 5 pounds of fruit into chunks (apples or pears). Leave skin on because the pectin in the peel helps remove cholesterol.
Cooking options:
Crockpot – Spray pot. Put fruit in. Cook on low for six to eight hours or high for three to five hours until fruit is soft enough to mash. Stovetop – Place in heavy or nonstick large pot. Add up to 1 cup water, cider or apple juice (to keep fruit from sticking), and simmer until fruit is soft. You may have to add a bit more liquid. Careful – the mixture tends to sputter up. Oven – (my preferred method). I use a restaurant steam table pan but use anything that has sides and which will hold fruit. Spray pan. Cook in 350-degree oven until soft.
To purée:
Run through food mill or sieve, blender or food processor. Or just chunk up with a potato masher. If
Storing:
Day three of making homemade fruit rollup. desired, sweeten to taste with sugar or a substitute. I usually don’t add any sweetener. Add cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice to taste. Do this while fruit is still warm. Now you have the best tasting applesauce ever!
Drying to make fruit rollups/leather:
Spray cookie sheets. Pour puree evenly onto sheets, about 1⁄4-inch deep. I dry mine in the sun. (I’ll cover with cheesecloth if bees are a problem and bring it in at night or if it rains). It takes about three

days to make the rollups. You can also dry it in a warm oven. Mine only goes down to 170 so I prop the door open. You don’t want it to cook too quickly or it will be hard. It will take anywhere from four to eight hours or more depending upon the kind of apples, etc. If it’s late in the evening and it’s still not done, turn the oven off with the leather still in, and proceed in the morning.
How to tell if leather is done:
It should pull up from the pan in one sheet.

To earn accreditation, a museum first must conduct a year of self-study, then undergo a site visit by a team of peer reviewers. AAM’s Accreditation Commission, an independent and autonomous body of museum professionals, review and evaluate the self-study and visiting committee report to determine whether a museum should receive accreditation. While the time to complete the process varies by museum, it generally takes three years.
resources wisely, and to provide the best possible service to the public. Of the nation’s estimated 17,500 museums, 775 are accredited. Among those institutions are 316 art museums and centers, with the Taft one of only 26 art museums accredited in Ohio. The only other accredited institutions in Cincinnati are the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden. “Accreditation assures the people of Cincinnati that their museum is among the finest in the nation,” said Ford W. Bell, president of AAM. “As a result, the citizens can take considerable pride in their homegrown institution, for its commit-

Xavier University unveils new logo
PROVIDED
Story time
A major focus of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is to help prepare children for kindergarten so they are ready to read and succeed in school. In support of that effort, an average of more than 350 free story times are offered every month for babies, toddlers and preschoolers at the main library and 40 branch libraries in Hamilton County. State Rep. Connie Pillich is reading with Olive Barry, William Gorentz and Claire Merkle at the Wyoming branch library.
The Xavier University Evanston campus has undergone a great deal of physical change lately, but as of Aug. 16, Xavier began sporting another change. The university unveiled a new logo/brand created by Lipman Hearne of Chicago, the nation’s leading marketing and communications firm for the nonprofit sector. Xavier sought a logo which would leverage the distinctiveness of the wellknown “X” while incorporating Xavier’s historic Jesuit mission and academic pedigree. This logo represents Xavier University as a whole. The colors are dark blue, metallic silver and white. The shield reflects tradition, academic excellence, prestige and power. The cross and fleur-delis, a symbol with rich, religious history, reflects Xavier’s spiritual heritage and mission of service to others.
Call engineer for foundation inspection a foundation problem. If foundation repairs are suggested, the engineer can provide an engineering design plan with the appropriate type of pier placed in strategic locations that several contractors can use to make their bid. The plan may be used to obtain a building permit and provide a record of the repair for the future, such as during the sale of the property. Foundation contractors typically send out a sales person that does not have any formal training and needs to sell their product, not an unbiased professional engineer. Only a professional engineer is legally allowed to practice engineering. Contractors cannot suggest they are an engineer, unless they are state licensed professional engineers.

CE-0000424425
Do you have foundation cracks, wall cracks, sticking doors and windows and sloping floors? Consult an independent professional engineer first to determine the cause of the problem. Foundation cracks due to differential foundation settlement can be caused by several conditions. The building code requirement for at least 30inch footing depth was established to resist frost heave from ice expansion in the ground during the winter months. The top layer of soil has gone through these types of changes over the decades and is typically not very compacted. Some of the soils in the Greater Cincinnati area are classified as expansive clay. This type of soil changes volume when the moisture content changes. The soil shrinks in the dry summer and fall, when the rain quits falling as seen by cracks in ground. When the moisture returns to the soil during the winter and spring due to higher quantities of rain and snow, the soil swells back to its previous volume. This type of differential movement can be seen in houses that have cyclical cracks which open and close, doors rubbing the frames part of the year, etc., during the various seasons. Watering along the exterior house foundation may help control this movement, but should be started very early in the year. Foundations that are supported at different soil depths are likely to settle differentially. This condition is typical when a shallow foundation is placed near a deeper basement foundation or on sloping lots. In older homes, underground waste piping and/or underground downspout piping can crack or break. When the piping fails water leaks along the footing, softening the soil, causing the foundation to settle differentially. The typical repair for differential foundation settlement is underpinning piers that extend the foundation deeper into the soil. There are several types of underpinning repairs. The foundation pier systems offered by foundation repair contractors cost in the range of $130 to $200 per foot of

Newport Aquarium adds four more sharks to exhibit Newport Aquarium’s giant shark tank just got a little more crowded. Biologists added more animals to the exhibit this week. Four new blacktip reef sharks were added. Each one is about three-feet long and only a few years old. As the name suggests, they are easily identified by the prominent black tips on their fins, especially on the first dorsal and the caudal fins. They are among the most abundant sharks inhabiting the tropical coral reefs of the Indian and Pacific oceans. The four new blacktips join four already in the “Sur-
rounded by Sharks” exhibit, as well as the host of other animals that currently call the exhibit home. The additions make the aquarium’s popular tunnel gallery one of the most diverse salt water displays in the region. There are a total of 19 sharks representing six shark species, four rays representing two species and two shark rays – aquarium favorites Sweet Pea and Scooter, the stars of the world’s first shark ray breeding program.
