A man of numbers

By Kelly McBride

Wyoming City Council approved a severance agreement with City Manager Bob Harrison that provides a lump sum payment as well as an agreement to fund his defense in two pending lawsuits. Harrison, who has worked for the city for 12 years, accepted a job as city administrator in Issaquah, Wash., where he starts work Oct. 11. The agreement, approved unanimously at council’s Sept. 20 meeting, stated that Harrison would receive $75,000 on Oct. 1, his last day of employment with the city. The agreement also stated that the city would defend Harrison in

two pending lawsuits. One is a civil rights case filed in April against Harrison, the Hamilton County treasurer and city council, by Harrison Lawrence Blaine. That case is pending in the Sixth Circuit of the Ohio Southern District Court. Details of the case were locked by the court, and a request to Wyoming Solicitor Frank Klaine, as well as city council, for information about the case went unanswered. Mayor Barry Porter responded, referring all inquiries to Klaine. The second pending lawsuit

had been refiled in August by three former employees of Wyoming’s Recreation Center. The original suit had been filed in late 2009. Cathy Deters, Michael Pearl and Monica Miller are suing Harrison, as well as the city of Wyoming, requesting that they be reinstated to their former jobs, and seeking financial damages. They have alleged racial, 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. In the severance document, Harrison agreed to “reasonably cooperate with (the) city in the

defense of such pending lawsuits, including reasonably making himself available for depositions, arbitrations, hearings and/or trial, and for the preparation for the same.” In return, the city promised to foot the bill. “When such cooperation is requested by the city, the city shall pay any and all out-ofpocket costs incurred by city manager specifically relating to such defense and cooperation arising from city manager’s attendance at any hearing, arbitration, and/or trial for the pending lawsuits.” Questions to Klaine and City Council about what both lawsuits have and will cost the city, and where that money will come from, went unanswered.

Learning branches out from STEM Princeton High School is taking stock in a program that incorporates a variety of academic subjects into project-based learning. The STEM approach, for science, technology, engineering and math, has been incorporated into the curriculum at the school, connecting the basics in ways that students can visualize. “STEM is part of 21st century learning that is experience-based, and hands-on,” said Brian Lien, who teaches engineering and architecture at the high school. “It’s harder for the teacher,” Lien said, “Now they have to think about a project to go with the lesson, and how is it linked to math or science?” For example, when students are reading a history lesson, how can it be tied into lessons learned in English class? To help do this, the school has stocked a STEM cart with supplies that teachers can use to help students complete their projects. Some items included on the cart are video cameras, digital cameras, poster

board, colored paper, markers, scissors, tape and glue. The school received a $7,500 one-time grant from the General Mills Foundation for the current school year, and is using that money to stock the cart. Lien said that while the school will apply again next year for another grant, Princeton would accept any donations that would be appropriate for the projects. He said he hopes to add a second cart next school year. That one would contain tools, such as scales, mirrors, wood and lasers, for STEM projects. Teachers can use items or borrow from the cart, Lien said. Projects vary as widely as the subject matter, he said, and items could be used for assignments such as math teacher Kevin Tucker’s slingshot assignment. Students have to propel a water balloon from a slingshot to hit a mannequin. To do so, they must calculate the wind, figure the angle and decide how hard to pull back on the slingshot. “It’s learning by doing versus listening,” Lien said. “Students can learn better if they can touch and feel.”

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.

Sharonville residents to get choice By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Sharonville City Council has approved measures that would allow Safety Service Director Ted Mack to con-

tract with two companies to supply natural gas and electric to residents. First Energy will be the electric supplier, and Vectran would provide natural gas. “We believe both companies will provide good opportunities for the community,” Deputy Safety Service Director Robert Fisher said. It’s an opt-in program, in which residents would have to choose the alternate suppliers. Duke Energy would continue to provide service to

residents, whether they choose the new companies or stay with Duke. Those that choose First Energy or Vectran and later change their minds would be charged a $25 cancellation fee. Fisher estimated savings of about 33 percent for electricity if residents choose First Energy. A percentage of savings for Vectran was not estimated, though council endorsed both companies as a choice for residents of Sharonville.

The idea sneaked up on him, just as gnomes do. Chuck Sambuchino, an editor and author, was watching the movie “The Full Monty” when he was struck by a scene that included garden gnomes. “I started to get creeped out,” he said of the bearded statues that inhabit many yards. I thought, ‘if they scare me, then they scare others, too.’” So the Sharonville resident wrote a survival parody, not to be taken seriously, that shows readers “How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack.” The book, subtitled “Defend Yourself When the Lawn Warriors Strike (and They Will)” starts with advice cloaked in a warning. “Keep reading if you

want to live,” the introduction begins. Sambuchino warns of the seemingly innocuous lawn ornaments, statues that he’s convinced are “hell-bent on world domination.” The book, available at any Border’s front counter, as well as online through Amazon.com, helps readers assess, protect, defend and apply their skills to ward off the portly bearded decoration wearing a bright-colored pointed hat. “It’s the world’s first survival guide against the garden gnome,” Sambuchino said. “It shows how to assess

To coin a phrase: Hard work pays off By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Construction of Glendale’s Village Square has paid off for a 10-year-old whose father gave his twocents’ worth. Adam Lotspeich, whose mom, Natalie, owns the Dog Depot grooming salon, headed across the parking lot with his father, Tim, and metal detector in tow. They had seen crews tearing up concrete in the Square, preparing to expand the sidewalk as part of the village’s renovation. They turned on the metal detector, sweeping it side to side, slowly moving through the rubble. Items showed up on the monitor, but nothing of value. Then, about 10 minutes into their adventure, Adam saw what looked like a quarter. The pair squatted to dig

The 1828 penny is as large as a quarter. out the item, and unearthed a coin that was worth more than 25 cents. It was an 1828 large cent, valued today at $15$20 in good condition. The Coronet-style coin is valued at $27 if in fine condition, $336 if in extra fine condition, and if uncirculated, the penny is worth

$1,500. The large-cent coins were minted from 1793 to 1857, with the Coronet version produced from 1816 to 1835. “I heard they were digging (in the Square) and we knew the buildings were built in the 1800s,” Tim Lotspeich said. “We gave it

a chance and came over.” When the metal detector beeped, Adam said he thought he’d found a quarter. It was dark outside, and hard to tell what kind of coin it was. “It was exciting,” he said of his discovery that it was a large cent penny. Glendale was formed in 1851, when 30 people formed the Glendale Association and bought 500 acres. The land, which comprised two farms, was owned by Edmund Glenn and John Riddle. Thus, the name Glendale. The Village Square was built in 1880, and included shops, a police station and city offices. Along the way, someone dropped a penny. That penny will be treasured by Adam. “I’m going to save it,” he said. “I’ll give it to my kids when I grow up.”

Presidential Scholar making his mark as mathematics tutor minimum cumulative GPA of 3.8. Each college recommends a candidate. Robertson’s parents were able to finance the first three quarters of his college education. He has had to take out student loans, tutor and work summer jobs to afford to stay in school. The scholarship is a godsend. “It takes a great pressure off,” Robertson said. “It’s definitely helpful and welltimed.” Robertson grew up in the Cincinnati area and attended Princeton High School, where he took biology, Spanish and human geography classes in the international baccalaureate and advanced placement programs. Robertson decided to attend Wright State in part because it was close to home, but far enough away so he could live on campus and not just commute from home to school. He enjoys the diversity of Wright State and marvels at the school’s extensive tunnel system. Robertson chose to major in biomedical engineering because it matched his interests and included

courses required for entrance into medical school, even though he was wavering at that as a career choice at the time. An internship at a company that develops minimally invasive surgical products enabled Robertson to interact with physicians and convinced him that medical school was for him. He hopes to attend the Boonshoft School of Medicine at Wright State. Robertson got involved in math tutoring when he was in high school. He tutors both Wright State students and those at Thurgood Marshall High School in Dayton. He wants to help establish a math tutoring/mentoring program for at-risk high schoolers. He said one reason students drop out or pursue nonmath careers is that they struggle with math and many schools don’t have the resources to provide tutoring for them. “I want to help those students out so they don’t get frustrated and just give up,” Robertson said. “That way they can still keep pushing on.”

7 Hills students qualify for advanced standing in college

Princeton High School graduate Michael Robertson, left, with Wright State University President David R. Hopkins. Robertson is Wright State’s 2011 Presidential Scholar.

Students who hate math, meet Michael J. Robertson. The 21-year-old Princeton High School graduate, a Wright State University senior, is in his third year tutoring students in math. After a couple of sessions, not only do the students have a better grasp of trigonometry and calculus, many of them find math more bearable. A few actually go from hating it to liking it. “I’m pretty good at seeing patterns,” said Robertson, who has tutored as many as 50 students over the years. “I think because I am able to notice other ways of doing math, I can show anyone I’m tutoring different ways of solving math problems that makes more sense to them.” The university has named Robertson, a biomedical engineering major who wants to go to medical school, as the 2010-2011 Presidential Scholar. The scholarship covers tuition for Robertson’s senior year at Wright State. The Presidential Scholarship is awarded to an outstanding student with a

Consistency key for Princeton By Nick Dudukovich

ndudukovich@communitypress.com

The Princeton High School boys’ football team moved to 3-3 on the season with a 22-16 victory over Fairfield High School (1-5) Oct. 1. The Vikings received a six-yard-touchdown run from Demarco Thomas late in the fourth quarter to give Princeton the lead. As the squad starts to prepare for its final four games of the season, coach Bill Leach hopes his team can build consistency off the Fairfield game that will last the rest of the year.

Leach said his team has had trouble bringing all facets of the game, such as offense, defense and special teams, together at once. On offense, the Vikings should solidify the running game with the return of running back Darian Nelson, who was injured against Northmont Sept. 3. Princeton will likely use a two-running-back package in an effort to utilize the talents of Nelson and Thomas. Thomas, besides scoring the game winning touchdown against Fairfield, has been productive during his time filling in for Nelson. He

rushed for 393 yards and two touchdowns heading into the Fairfield game. “We are looking for the next man in (when someone gets injured),” Leach said. “Darian went down and Demarco stepped up ready to go and we didn’t miss a beat.” At quarterback, the Vikings will continue to rely on the improving play of quarterback Nate McGill, who had thrown for 513 yards and three touchdowns heading into week six. “I think the game is starting to slow down for Nate and he’s getting comfortable (in the pocket),”

Leach said. “He’s throwing good balls under pressure and that’s something we didn’t see (earlier in the season).” The Vikings have also received solid contributions from Justin Cornwall, who had 190 yards rushing, 219 yards receiving, and six total touchdowns through the first five games of the season. Cornwall and other members of the team must show they can produce every week for the squad to be successful, according to Leach. “Justin’s got a lot of talent and speed and when he

touches the ball he’s dangerous,” Leach said. “He’s just got to get more consistent in his play...” On defense, the Vikings are still struggling to find an answer on the defensive line following the seasonending knee injury Evan McClain suffered against Northmont. “It’s been a revolving door and we don’t have an answer yet,” Leach said. “There are some kids who were expected to step up and have not...every day is a new adventure on the defensive line to find someone who wants to step up and take that role.”

Future looks bright for Wyoming tennis By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The Wyoming High School girls’ tennis team suffered an early season blow when one of the top players, Madison Bourbon, was lost to injury. The Cowboys struggled out of the gate, dropping the first five matches of a difficult schedule. Wyoming rallied though, finishing the season by winning 11 of their last 13 matches. “These girls are getting a ton of experience and are learning a lot,” head coach Chris Hemingway said. “If you said there was a team that’s improved more than we have from the first match to yesterday, I wouldn’t believe it.” The improvement is especially encouraging to Hemingway as his team is composed of mainly underclassmen. Senior Stella Fischer has been one of the players to step up for the Cowboys this season, but the majority of the standouts are sophomores or freshmen. Bourbon was expected to be one of the top three singles players for Wyoming, along with Ashley Berg and Tess Thoresen. Thoresen, a junior, is a captain for Wyoming. “Those two are definitely the strength of the team,” Hemingway said. Meredith Hennessy plays third singles and also some doubles and leads the team in wins. Freshman Maddie Boster has been a standout for Wyoming in doubles play

and Ellen Koesterman and Camille Wilson were the other two freshman starters for Wyoming. “The young kids have gotten a lot better through the year so next season, with the improvement and with a healthy Maddie, this could be one of the best teams in the state.” Hemingway said one of the big helps to him as a coach has been his assistant coach Scott Boster, who Hemingway described as a co-head coach. “He has been a huge help this year and I wouldn’t be able to do it without him,” Hemingway said. “The kids need attention and we probably overcoached them this year. There is so much information to give the doubles players that we just swamped them this year knowing it will sink in over the next year or so. And that’s what it always comes down to, doubles. Every single time. If our girls bust their butts for the next eight months, we could be a whole different team next year and a lot tougher to handle.” Wyoming had some signature wins this season, including defeating an 8-1 Loveland team and winning their flight of the Coaches Classic. Still, with much of the team returning next season, Hemingway said it could be a banner year. “If the girls work hard for the next eight months there could be a state championship team at Wyoming next season,” he said.

Princeton High School soccer co-captain Alton Reisen, a junior, moves the ball upfield with Fairfield senior co-captain Ben Hasselbeck in pursuit. The Vikings lost to Fairfield 3-0 Sept. 30 in the league game, bringing them to 1-5 in the league and 2-8-1 overall.

MND volleyball aims to improve By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

WILL VELARDE/STAFF

Mount Notre Dame High School sophomore outside hitter Michelle Strizak (5) of Sharonville spikes the ball against Mercy Sept. 28.

The Mount Notre Dame High School volleyball team, in a week in which it had hoped to assert itself, was left with more questions than answers. Entering play the week of Sept. 27, MND was 11-2 (4-1) and ranked second in the city and No. 5 in the state. But losses to league-rivals Mother of Mercy and Ursuline dropped the Cougars to 11-4 (4-3) and eliminated any hope of a Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League Scarlet division title. “We had a rough week,” MND head coach Joe Burke said. “But I think the girls see where we need to improve.” It all began with a 3-2 home loss to Mercy Sept. 28. The Cougars led 2-1 before losing their lead and falling 1513 in the fifth set. The loss snapped a five-match winning streak against Mercy. MND then hit the road for a rematch

Cowboys head to districts

against Ursuline, which hasn’t lost a regular-season match since 2007.Burke didn’t think the loss to Mercy hurt his team’s confidence heading into the showdown with the Lions. “We knew it’d be a tough match,” Burke said. “We have all the respect in the world for Ursuline.” MND lost to Ursuline 3-2 Sept. 14. The Cougars led 2-1 before falling in five sets. But 16 days later, on Sept. 30, Ursuline blanked MND 3-0. It was MND’s seventh straight loss to Ursuline, which has won 43 consecutive matches and beaten three of the top five teams in the state this year – MND, Dublin Coffman and Toledo St. Ursula. “I think Ursuline played great; they are as good as advertised,” Burke said. “Offensively, we didn't have enough swings to get them out of their system.” Sophomore outside hitter Michelle Strizak of Sharonville continues to lead MND. She is tops in the GGCLScarlet with 153 kills.

Wyoming senior Brian Spitzig watches his tee shot on the first hole of the CHL Championships at Sharon Woods Sept. 25. The Cowboys finished third. On Sept. 30, Spitzig led the Cowboys with an 80 at sectionals to garner fourth place and advance to districts.

Joseph Dulemba tees off at the Cincinnati Hill League Championships at Sharon Woods Saturday, Sept. 25. After finishing third at the CHL’s, the Cowboys advanced to the District Tournament at Weatherwax Golf Club in Middletown behind Brian Spitzig’s 80, Dulemba’s 81, Zach Galluzzo’s 85 and Sam Meyers’ 89.

“She takes a lot of the offensive swings for us and is still working into her position,” Burke said. Junior libero Kelsey Wolf of Symmes Township a second-team allleague performer last season, has been solid again. “She’s been a rock in servereceive,” Burke said. “She’s taken over our back row.” As a team, however, Burke said the Cougars must improve their scoring and blocking. MND had a late-season slump last year, losing three straight matches before winning its regular-season finale and advancing to the regional finals. Burke is confident his team can overcome losses to Mercy and Ursuline, but he isn’t worrying about a tournament run just yet. “Right now, I'm not focused on the postseason; I'm focused on us getting better,” he said. “We have good volleyball players who want to improve, and right now our focus has to be playing MND volleyball.”

Irrational voters threaten to cloud election season Why are we (supporters of President Obama’s administration and the political leaders who support him) feeling frustrated, and a bit demoralized as we approach the upcoming November midterm election? Because we are facing too many irrational voters. • Too many voters refuse to accept the findings of most economists: the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (see recovery.gov) prevented our nation from entering into a repeat of a 1930s great depression. • Too many voters have demonized The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (turning the term “stimulus” toxic), yet applaud the projects made possible by the Reinvestment/Recovery funds such as the improve-

ments to The Glendale Village Square and the improvements to East Sharon Avenue. • T o o many voters blur The TrouRichard bled Asset Relief Schwab Program into “stimulus” Community the funding proPress guest gram. Too many columnist voters have forgotten TARP was established by President George W. Bush. Too many voters have lost sight of the fact that the majority of economists agree the TARP loans prevented the total collapse of the world’s financial system (see

financialstability.gov). Too many voters have demonized TARP and turned the term “bank bailout” toxic. Too many voters fail to see, accept or understand that the vast majority of the TARP funds have already been paid back to the government by the banks. • Too many voters seem to have forgotten President Obama arrived in office facing an unprecedented array of challenges. In the month President Obama took office, the nation was losing 750,000 jobs a month (see blogs.abcnews.com). We are no longer losing jobs; there is today positive private sector job growth. All employment reports show continued signs of gradual labor market healing. • Too many voters fail to accept the fact that prior to the

passage of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, our nation’s medical and health insurance system was unsustainable, denied access to millions and provided protection for no one. Too many voters fail to see that The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is the great Civil Rights Legislation of the 21st Century. Too many voters fail to see that the benefits of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 will be seen over time as equally valuable to our nation as are Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid (see whitehouse.gov -search “benefits of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010”). • Too many voters confuse the need for short-term government deficit spending in a global

recession with the need for long term deficit reduction which has nothing to do with the Reinvestment and Recovery funding, but everything to do with addressing solutions to strengthening Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid as well as addressing tax reform and a balanced budgeting process. • Too many irrational voters have forgotten why this nation elected President Barack Obama. Those who are grumbling need to be reminded what this great nation liked about him in the first place. Richard O. Schwab was formerly associate head of school and middle school head, Cincinnati Country Day School. He is also a neighborhood team leader, Glendale Organizing For America Community Team (GOFACT.)

Plain truth about real pain

Travel is dangerous now, you just never know, five-star resorts are not even safe. “We had to take every single item out of our upstairs, all clothes had to be washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer or sent to the dry cleaners (over $1,000 for that), books had to either be thrown out or put into zip lock bags and placed in the freezer for three days. “We threw out the mattress, box spring, headboard and bedside table plus a bookshelf that bedbugs were found. “The house was treated for four months, which is very expensive. I burned out my vacuum because I vacuumed the entire house plus baseboards everyday for six months. “They are very hard to get rid of, very expensive and time consuming! When we now check into a hotel room, we strip the beds to look for them, behind the headboard, pictures on the wall and lampshades. “Our luggage never comes upstairs anymore, all clothes are washed when we get home, immediately.

I remind myself I am capable of performing everyday tasks such as laundry or washing dishes or changing bed sheets because I have two arms and two hands. But if I push myself too much, (after all I’ve already worked all day, and this is my limit,) I will literally be bedridden with intense pain. I’ve had to learn to humble myself and ask for help. This isn’t easy to do, especially when one looks perfectly healthy. Additionally, since chronic pain sufferers’ pain is indeed, chronic, masking it becomes a way of coping. Who wants to hear about today’s symptoms and ails? Only those very close to me know when I’m having a “bad pain day,” and perhaps the opposite is true, too. I rarely offer up details except when asked. At times, I am almost thankful for the scar I bear, one outward mark of all the years of pain. It says what I cannot.

Future employers want all this increased/advanced skillset, but they aren’t willing to pay the person for it. “Not getting hired is even easier, they just say ‘well you don’t have the required skills.’ Even though a person might have advanced programming computer skills, they are looking for a binary logic programmer, not realizing that the individual could easily pick up that skill.

OFFICER DAVID BUSCHMANN

Springdale benefited from Cincinnati decision During the Sept. 15 Springdale council meeting, Mayor Doyle Webster lauded Officer David Buschmann, his wife and family and thanked the Cincinnati Police Department for laying him off 32 years Evelyn ago.Last Thursday Perkins the city held an Community open house celebraat the commuPress tion nity center to say columnist goodbye and wish him well in his retirement. David J. Buschmann was born in North College Hill and served in the Army at Fort Jackson, where he met his wife, Patricia. They have three sons. He worked for the Cincinnati Police Force until 1976. Having earned a degree in sociology from Xavier University, he was a corrections social worker at the Old Workhouse. After a year and a half, he was laid off. The inside was just as dismal as the outside, and he was ready for a change, so he obtained a law enforcement position in Springdale. Cincinnati called him back twice, but he turned them down. A week later, he received an envelope from city administrator Cecil Osborn, and his heart sank. He thought it was a pink slip, but Cecil wrote that he was glad Dave had stayed. Dave began working patrol in July 3, 1978, and moved to Springdale in 1979. In 1980 he received training in Missouri and became the first canine officer. He and his beloved German shepherd partner, Trooper, served together for 71⁄2 years and gave demonstrations at schools. In 2001 he arrested public enemy No. 1, Clayton Waagner, from “America’s Most Wanted.” In 2003 he and Al Maupin partnered in the Communi-

He peers fondly at a photo of Trooper, his canine partner. ty Service office – Al’s focus was children, and Dave’s was seniors. By 2006 he was the sole full-time community service officer. He enjoys getting out among the public. His awards include Springdale Officer of the Year and the Mark of Excellence for having made the biggest contribution to the region. Pat told him he couldn’t retire as long as she is working, so when he leaves the police department, he will be a security officer at Maple Knoll Retirement Center. The couple has traveled to Alaska’s Denali State Park, Europe, the Fiji Islands, Australia and New Zealand. In Germany, they visited the Nuremberg courtroom, site of the famous Nazi trials. Patricia is Irish, so they visited her relatives in Ireland. While in Dublin, Dave discovered that his uncle was the first Jesuit priest ordained there. Post retirement plans include New England in the fall and American national parks. Making identity theft presentations to seniors, expanding the neighbor-

hood watch, interacting with residents, coordinating the law enforcement expo in Tri County, being the public relations officer, handling requests for speakers and issuing press releases all created good memories. “It’s been a great career. I can’t think of a better place to work. Shortly after coming here, I told my wife that I liked the people I met in Springdale and had a good feeling about the community. I’ve gotten to know council and other department personnel and coached their kids in soccer. Residents told me what needed to be addressed and I alerted them to probable situations and explained officer’s actions. This is a good back and forth tool between the citizens and the city. It’s nice to have extra eyes and ears. I preached, ‘if you see it, let me know.’ I’ve loved it!” Evelyn Perkins writes a regular column about people and events in the Tri-County Press area.

Courage is doing the good we’re afraid to do Courage doesn’t always involve brawn and muscles. It does involve a strength of character and integrity. It causes us to reach for rightness even in the face of fear, disapproval or overwhelming odds. The word courage arose from the Latin word cor, meaning heart. To have courage, “you gotta have heart,” as an old song lyricized. Courage is the virtue crucified in the middle between two thieves – cowardice and rashness. Cowardice is running away from all dangers and hard times; rashness is facing danger in a careless way that masks self-centered motives. In the past, courage was chiefly associated with men. It was seen in the risks they took during battle to defeat an enemy, help a fellow soldier, or defend innocent people. Now, with a better understanding of courage, we don’t hesitate to attribute it in various bold and subtle ways to women as well. To be courageous involves three general characteristics: (a) a willful and intentionally chosen act despite the presence of fear;

(b) it involves substantial danger, difficult, or risk to the person choosing Father Lou it; (c) it is Guntzelman primarily Perspectives motivated to bring about a noble good or morally worthy purpose. How many kinds of courage are there? Three types are acknowledged. Physical courage. It is overcoming the fear of physical harm or possible death for the sake of a noble goal such as defense of country or our family, or to save someone from danger or criminal threats. For example, we hear in the news of a man or woman risking their life to pull someone from a burning car. Recently a captain posthumously received the Medal of Honor for risking his life while placing his wounded men in a helicopter. Moral courage. This is overcoming the fear of social ostracism or rejection in order to maintain ethical integrity.

For example, the history of civil rights recalls the day Rosa Parks, a southern black woman, took a seat in the front of a bus when a prejudiced society said “her place” was in the back. This type of moral courage can occur in many different situations. It happens whenever an individual stands up to someone with power over him or her, and does so for the greater good. The result is the risk of social disapproval from others. Psychological, or vital, courage. Within the past 150 years a third kind of courage has been recognized by psychologists. It means overcoming the fear of losing one’s psyche (the feeling that one is disintegrating within – colloquially, losing it.) It can occur as we struggle against the fear of disintegration or death while trying to achieve greater wholeness and mental health. It is the kind of courage demonstrated by an addict overcoming his or her addiction; or a person abused as a child working to overcome deep psychological fears to become a loving and productive adult. Why focus on courage

today? In “The Psychology of Courage,” edited by Pury & Lopez, it’s stated: “It is increasingly difficult to face an unpredictable future without being able to call on courage if needed.” Over the years I have been honored to meet many people of courage. They weren’t publicly known because for us ordinary people our most noteworthy victories occur within, out of view of camera, newsprint and applause. At times we may be the only one who knows that they exist. To all these wonderful and victorious people I apply the following anonymous quotation: “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

There’s a chicken in every pot pie recipe

I know whenever a request comes in for anything about Shillito’s recipes served in their former restaurants, it spawns a huge flood of “can you find this recipe, or that?” So I wasn’t surprised when Irene Johnson’s original request for Shilllito’s chicken pot pie opened the floodgates.

Shillito’s individual chicken pot pie

I was so happy to get this recipe from Amelia reader Mary Frank. “I’m glad I could help,” she said. Me, too! This recipe comes from one printed in the Enquirer a while back by Jeff Pipes, former Lazarus Interior Design Studio manager.

⁄8 cup frozen peas 3 ⁄4 cup frozen sliced carrots 6 cooked Rita p e a r l Heikenfeld onions 1 cup Rita’s kitchen (3 ⁄2 oz.) d i c e d cooked chicken – 1⁄2-inch to 3 ⁄4-inch chunks 3 ⁄4 cup sauce 1 to 2 oz. pastry, to cover pie

Cook frozen peas and carrots and drain. Put chicken into small casserole and add veggies. Pour sauce over and bake at 350 degrees until bubbly. Serve with pastry top

over casserole dish. (I’m assuming you bake the pastry separate). Makes one pie.

If you remember the sandwich as being a bit spicy, go ahead and add some chili powder.

Pot pie sauce:

21⁄2 pounds ground beef 1 ⁄2 cup chopped onion 1 ⁄4 cup chopped bell pepper Salt and pepper 1 tablespoon dry mustard 1 tablespoon cider vinegar or more to taste 13⁄4 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons sugar or more to taste

3 tablespoons margarine 11⁄2 tablespoons flour 1 cup chicken stock/broth Dash pepper Melt margarine, add flour and mix well. Add stock, cook and stir until creamy. Add pepper.

Shillito’s Café sandwich (Seven Hills sloppy Joes)

I have researched this recipe for years and found that the original spice mixture used in the sandwich was a commercial one and, alas, can’t be found anymore.

Brown meat and add everything else. Simmer about 30 minutes or more. Serve with a dollop of Cheese Whiz on top.

Fifteen-minute peanut butter fudge

For the lady in Milford who wanted a peanut butter fudge “without marshmallow cream.” She told me her mom had a recipe for just such a fudge, but she can’t find it. This is from “Cook’s Illustrated,” my food “bible.” Now, my own recipe like this is almost identical, except it doesn’t have baking soda and I just melt everything in a pan and pour it into a sprayed 8-by8 square pan. (It’s an easy and good

one – my grandson, Will, made the chocolate version of the fudge and won a blue ribbon at the fair). I’m thinking, though, that the baking soda is smart addition, as that is what probably makes the texture of this fudge so good. Makes about 21⁄2 pounds. This fudge will change texture and become drier the longer it is stored. Store the fudge, tightly wrapped in plastic, in a cool place for up to two weeks or in the freezer for three months. If frozen, allow ample time to let it reach room temperature before cutting. 18 oz. peanut butter chips 1 ⁄2 teaspoon baking soda 1 ⁄8 teaspoon salt 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Cut 12-inch length extrawide heavy-duty aluminum foil; fold edges back to form 71⁄2-inch width. With folded sides facing down, fit foil securely into bottom and up sides of 8inch-square baking pan, allowing excess to overhang pan sides. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray. Toss peanut butter chips,

baking soda, and salt in medium heatproof bowl until baking soda is evenly distributed. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Set bowl over 4-quart saucepan containing 2 cups simmering water. Stir with rubber spatula until chips are almost fully melted and few small pieces remain, two to four minutes. Remove bowl from heat and continue to stir until chips are fully melted and mixture is smooth, about two minutes. Transfer fudge to prepared pan and spread in even layer with spatula. Refrigerate until set, about two hours. Remove fudge from pan using foil and cut into squares. Double batch: Line 13 by 9-inch pan with two sheets of foil placed perpendicular to each other and double amounts of all ingredients. In Step 2, use large heatproof bowl and Dutch oven containing 4 cups simmering water.

The entire community is invited to attend the Daniel Pearl World Music Days â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harmony for Humanityâ&#x20AC;? concert at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 10, at the Mayerson JCC, 8485 Ridge Road, next to Ronal Reagan Highway. This special event at the JCC is free, and will feature diverse musical performances by Adath Israel Congregation Band, Cosmeau World Music Trio, Foundation Band, Northern Hills Synagogue Choir, Rockdale Temple Rock Shabbat Band, Southern Gateway Chorus and Wise Temple â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shir Chadashâ&#x20AC;? Band. Daniel Pearl World Music Days were created in 2002 in remembrance of Wall Street Journal reporter, Daniel Pearl, an American who was kidnapped and murdered by extremists in Karachi, Pakistan. Pearlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends came together to work toward a more humane world, forming the Daniel Pearl Foundation. Pearl was also known as a talented musician who joined musical groups in every community he visited. His passion for music and lifelong mission of uniting people from different cultures is what led the Foundation to create â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harmony for Humanity,â&#x20AC;? an awareness-raising initiative.

The concert at the JCC is the only Daniel Pearl World Music Days event available in Cincinnati Oct. 10. At this event, the Mayerson JCC uses the power of music to promote cross-cultural understanding and remind people of all cultures and religions that everyone shares a common humanity. This international network of concerts is held every October, the month of Pearlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday. Over the past eight years, Daniel Pearl World Music Days have included more than 4,900 performances in 102 countries. Betsy Singer-Lefton will perform with Wise Templeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shir Chadashâ&#x20AC;? band at the JCC on Sunday, Oct. 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The musical groups performing at the JCC for this international event are very

diverse, and I think having so many different types of music all in one place is a great way to bring people together.â&#x20AC;? Dick Lentz, a Southern Gateway Chorus member since 2001, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are honored to be performing at the JCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daniel Pearl concert. Pearl recognized musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to bridge the differences between people, and the men of our chorus have been blending their efforts toward the same goal for more than 50 years!â&#x20AC;? This free community event is open to the public, and was made possible by a generous grant from the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati.

A crowd of about 2,500 was estimated to enjoy Glendale’s Street Fair, where the booths were positioned differently than in past years, allowing for a more effective flow of visitors to food, fun and vendors.

Jamie Payne demonstrates how to make a goblet from blown glass. He extracts the cup portion from the flame, as it takes shape. It’s one of three parts, being connected to a stem and foot to complete the goblet.

A fair to remember

KELLY MCBRIDE/STAFF

The Glendale Street Fair brought a record 2,500 visitors to the village on a sunny fall day that included music, with the occasional train horn, and vendors who sold wares and cooked food. Children made crafts, played games and romped in an inflatable castle. All shops in the Village Square stayed open late Sept. 25 for shoppers who also checked out booths filled with crafts, books, clothing and other giftware.

The church conducts Codependents Anonymous, a 12-step fellowship open to all who desire healthy, fulfilling relationships at 7 p.m. Thursdays in October in room 31. The church has Roman Catholic Mass with contemporary music Sundays at 4 p.m. Good Shepherd’s contemporary music Mass is a little livelier, a little more upbeat, but remains grounded in the traditional Roman Catholic liturgy. Worshipers will recognize popular Christian worship songs by artists such as Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman and Tim Hughes, as well as familiar Catholic liturgical hymns played to a livelier beat. At key points in the service, Contemporary Mass Music Director Bruce Deaton and his band strike up energetic praise music that has the congregation singing and clapping their hands. His repertoire reverences the Eucharist, connects to the weekly scripture readings, and complements the liturgical seasons such as Advent, Lent and Easter. The Mass draws worshipers of all ages, from the youth that participate as servers, lectors, and Eucharistic ministers, to families, teens, and older adults. Come early to get acquainted with the new songs which begin at 3:45 p.m. Stay after Mass on the first Sunday of each month for food, fun, and fellowship. The church is located at 8815 E.

Motorcycle advocates explore safety on the roads Traffic safety partners, stakeholders and supporters of motorcycle safety recently gathered to address the real dangers that motorcyclists encounter on local roads and discuss practical solutions to a variety of problems that riders experience. Hosted by Hamilton County Safe Communities and Scarlet Oaks Career Development Campus, the workshop presented data and real-life examples to illustrate the top causes of crashes involving motorcycles in the community. In recent years, the United States has experienced significant declines in the number of traffic fatalities, including deaths involving unrestrained occupants and alcohol consumption by crash-involved drivers. In spite of these improvements, the number of motorcycle-involved crashes and fatalities has increased substantially. Nationally, motorcyclist

fatalities have increased by 250 percent from 2,116 in 1997 to 5,290 in 2008. This year, the safety of motorcyclists appears to be improving in Hamilton County with one fatality involving a motorcycle and 146 motorcycle crashes with injuries through July. This is down from seven lives lost and 162 crashes with injuries from January through July 2009. However, the number of deaths across Ohio has increased for the same time period. Preliminary data shows 96 fatalities and 2,468 motorcycle crashes with injuries through July of this year, compared to 89 deaths and 2,615 crashes with injuries through July 2009. As a result of this state and national trend, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Department of Public Safety have targeted motorcycle safety in their highway safety plan.
