BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Voters start petition to repeal pay hike Would be on Evendale ballot next year By Leah Fightmaster lfightmaster@communitypress.com
Evendale residents are showing their disapproval of the recent pay hike approved for incoming council members. A group of residents and two council members are circulating a petition to put a referendum on next year’s general election ballot to repeal the pay hike for future council members. That pay hike, approved by council Sept. 10, would increase the monthly salary of incoming council members starting from about $650 to $1,000. Councilman Chris Schaefer, who supports the petition, said that if the referendum is successful, council members will not receive the raise. However, if voters decide not to support it, the pay hike will go into effect after the election’s results are certified by the Board of Elections. Schaefer said if voters support the pay hike, council members who are elected to a new term during this year’s general election will be eligible for the increase. Other council members would not be eligible to receive a raise mid-term. Council members who voted for the increase said it’s needed for members to qualify for state health insurance during retirement because the state recently changed its requirements, and that it might encourage people to run for office. Council members who voted against it said that they shouldn’t give such an increase just to comply with benefits that were changed to keep them out of the program. To put the referendum on the ballot, a certified petition must have at least 165 signatures of Evendale voters and be turned in to village clerk Barb Rohs by Oct.10. If enough signatures are

verified, the referendum for village voters will appear on the November 2014 general election ballot. However, the ordinance won’t go into effect until after the public vote, Councilwoman Catherine Hartman said. Steven Abel, who is collecting signatures for the petition, said that in two days he alone got about 76 signatures. He contacted council after learning about the pay hike. “I believe that it’s self-serving to vote on your own pay increase,” he said. “The decision needs to be town-wide, rather than four votes.” Hartman said she, too, thinks the kind of raise village council approved is unfair, because council wouldn’t approve an increase that large for another group of Evendale employees. “It feels wrong because it is wrong,” she said. “It’s just not what most people would consider fair or appropriate.” Both Abel and Hartman said that out of the dozens of people they’ve approached to sign the petition, very few have refused or needed much convincing. “People have been overwhelmingly in favor of putting it on the ballot because they’re upset about it,” she said.

Betty Shinkle served the Wyoming Police Department for 24 years.PROVIDED
Shinkle served with compassion, diligence
By Kelly McBride
kmcbride@communitypress.com
Wyoming has said goodbye and thank you to a longtime employee of the police department. Betty Shinkle has worked for Wyoming police for 24 years, back when 911calls were routed to the station and she dispatched officers to emergencies. City Council honored her Sept. 16, passing a resolution
that describes the police clerk as caring, compassionate, diligent and sensitively aware. “I just loved my job and dealing with people,” said Shinkle, who is retiring. “It was a learning experience all the time. I love that connection when somebody needed your help and you have the skills to get something accomplished,” she said. “You see a problem and you fix it. “And a lot of people can’t say that about their job.”
She recalled heartache, balanced by thrills, as she fielded those calls until the city’s 911 system was routed to the Hamilton County Communication Center several years ago. One of those calls, about 10 years ago, came from a woman whose husband was threatening her with a knife. “I was able to talk to the man to calm him down until the police got there,” Shinkle said, See SHINKLE, Page A2

Bethany hosts an ‘active’ dedication
In Matthew 18:19, the Bible reads that if two or three pray together in Jesus’ name, their prayer shall be granted. Surely our petitions were heard as four Episcopal bishops, nuns from the Evelyn TransPerkins figuration COLUMNIST Convent, the school chaplain and four child bishops joined Head of School Cheryl Pez, the Glendale mayor, students, staff, parents and the builders Monday, Sept. 30, to bless and dedicate the new Bethany Activity Center. Sister Superior Teresa Marie welcomed all, expressing the need for each to pray and play together. 2009 child bishop Elizabeth Bunte led us in the Bethany Prayer. Pez spoke with gratitude for the patience of the Hav-Tech Inc. builders and architects during the plan changes before arriving at the lovely finished product. She thanked the nuns who made everything possible and those who helped by buying bricks for the new sidewalk. I was honored to sit with the kindergartners. Margie Kessler had made a slide show about the development of the building accompanied with lively Blue Grass and salsa music, a country piece and a selection from Aaron Copland and
Leonard Bernstein’s “Rodeo.” Students swung their feet to the beat and nuns tapped their toes. Mother Kimberly Knight, chaplain, offered a special blessing for the cross made by Chad in the school maintenance department and presented by Lucy Stackpole and Kelley Smith, 2011 and 2010 Child Bishops. Andy Homan, retiring as seventh- and eighthgrade math and science teacher, proudly presented the US flag, commenting that the flag stands for the nation. Glendale Mayor Ralph Hoop expressed appreciation for the school working with the village’s needs. He said the dedication shows that the school is getting stronger and will be here 100 more years. After singing ”This Little Light of Mine,” we joined 2012 child bishop, RyanYu, in reading Matthew 7:24-27. Retired Bishop Kenneth Price of the Diocese of Southern Ohio preached a sermon in which he related some of the history of Bethany. Bishop Boyd Vincent first blessed this property in 1899 after Sister Eva had started it as a summer camp for families she served in the city. Bishop Price said that under Pez, Bethany has a sterling faculty and this new facility will thrive to present awards, have art exhibits, plays and athletic events. He said that it is solidly built in
the center of the spiritual foundation that maintains it. Bethany librarian Melinda Boyd directed us in singing “Awesome God,” that found the bishops joyfully joining in. Students presented gifts as they read how much better the new space will be for them. Diocese of Southern Ohio Bishop Thomas E. Breidenthal, builder Wes Noble, Hoop and Pez signed the framed photograph of the building along with Sister Marcia, who dutifully oversaw the project in her hard hat. Others signed it at the reception in the Spirituality Center. Bishop Breidenthal’s sermon blessed the study and learning to take place. He was joined by Bishop Price, Iowa retired Bishop Christopher Epting and Northern California Bishop Barry Beisner in blessing the building beginning at the four corners and then encompassing everyone. When all sang “Every Move I Make” that reaffirms Jesus’ role in our lives, the new activity center got a real Bethany welcome. Feet stomped, hands clapped, bishops and nuns caught the wave and the bleachers and floor rocked. Evelyn Perkins writes a regular column about people and events in the Tri-County Press area.

MND Big Sis program recognized through ABC Summer Of Service Award Mount Notre Dame High School’s Big Sis program was recognized through the 2013 ABC Summer of Service Award. Each year, ABC, in partnership with Youth Service America, recognizes young community change-makers and helps them on their mission to help others. They look for young people located in and around ABC-affiliate communities who are creating lasting, positive change through volunteer and community service projects. ABC Summer of Service Award provided the MND Big Sis Program with $1,000 that will en-
able the program to help make a difference in the world. MND’s Big Sis program provides a positive role model for the girls (first- through thirdgraders), by giving them someone to talk to about problems they may be having, or just about life. They also encourage their mentees to go to high school, graduate, and then pursue a college education. The grant from the ABC Summer of Service Award will enable the program to take their “Lil Sisters” to activities around Cincinnati and visit places they have never witnessed before such as the Cincinnati Children’s Museum and the New-
port Aquarium. The money will also go to providing food for the elementary students. The MND Big Sis program provides the young girls with breakfast, lunch, and a variety of snacks, along with extra food to ensure they eat something before they return to school on Monday. “This recognition from ABC is so important to our club. When the girls get to experience something for the first time, the excitement in their voices and the thousands of questions they ask is the best feeling in the entire world.” said Evendale resident Marissa Boyle, president of MND’s Big Sis Program

Princeton wins state fair awards By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Princeton High School students showcased a year of innovative learning, bringing home a stack of awards from the Ohio State Fair. There was a range of projects, from architectural drafting plans to engineering projects related to a General Mills pump redesign. One student created a playing card shuffler and students displayed pop-up cards in graphic designs. “You’ve got engineering, architecture, electronics, graphic arts,” architecture and engineering teacher Brian Lien said. “Princeton’s display is one of the largest at the fair, using the space of two booths.” Lien estimated about 13,000 visitors stopped at the Prince-

Princeton senior soccer captains savor last season By Mark D. Motz
mmotz@communitypress.com
SHARONVILLE — Turns out soccer can be bad for the singing voice. After a recent 2-0 win against Middletown, Princeton High School soccer defender Isabella Reisen – a soprano in her church’s praise band – sounded less like opera diva Maria Callas and more like hall of fame baseball broadcaster and NFL Films voice legend Harry Kalas. Part of the vocal rasp came from cheering a goal by Haily Martin who scored from nearly 40 yards out against the Middies, a rare opportunity for a primarily defensive player. The two are each other’s biggest cheerleaders and serve as Princeton’s senior co-captains. Both began playing soccer in kindergarten. After more than a decade as youth, club and high school teammates, they can finish each other’s sentences. “It’s kind of creepy, actually,” Reisen said. “We kind of share a brain, especially on the field.” Especially there, Martin said. “I think we’re the two most connected players on the field,” she said. “We know what the other is going to do. We trust each other. We move off each other.” Callas once said, “That is the difference between good teachers and great teachers: good teachers make the best of a pupil’s means; great teachers foresee a pupil’s ends.” Vikings head coach Rich Ledford said that’s what Reisen
Princeton High School senior co-captain Haily Martin kicks the ball up field in a 2-0 win against Middletown Oct. 1. Martin scored the second goal for the Vikings.

and Martin are for his team. “We’re trying to build a program here,” Ledford said. “They really keep the girls focused on that goal, on putting in the work they need to put in to be successful.” Not just work on the soccer field, either. Both are excellent in the classroom and take all honors courses. Both are heavily involved in their church youth groups and do extensive volunteer work through them. Both will play at the next level, too. Martin will play at Ohio Northern next season; she plans to study occupational therapy and eventually work with special needs children. Reisen will play at Olivet-Nazarene University and study biology, either with an eye toward medical school or an advanced degree in zoology. “It gives (other players) some insight as to what they can become, that a player from
Princeton can go on and play in college,” Ledford said. “It pushes them a lot more to do some of the things they’ve done to get where they are. They definitely set the bar high.” As they bring the curtain down on their high school careers, Martin and Reisen savor the final moments. “It’s really surreal,” Martin said. “I remember starting here as a freshman. It’s gone by fast. It’s just an awesome feeling to have been part of it, of helping grow the program. We might not have had all the wins we wanted, but we’re definitely better off now than when we started.” Said Reisen, “Soccer is such a huge aspect of who I am. It’s made me grow so much, taught me so many things I’ll always use. That’s why I’m in love with the game. It’s very, very sad to leave this team. I’m going to miss my girls, but I’m excited to see what they can do next year.”

Wyoming soccer a band of brothers By Scott Springer

WYOMING — Stuck in the middle of the Cincinnati Hills League, the Wyoming High School boys soccer team is a few kicks away from a better record and a better seed in the postseason tournament. After an 0-2 start, the Cowboys won six straight. Then, they lost three of four. Despite the periodic inconsistency, their head coach still believes in their abilities. An 8-1 blowout of Deer Park Oct. 1 put Wyoming at 8-5. “I think we’re one of the better 8-5 teams,” coach Steve Thomas said. The Cowboys’ narrow losses came to Walnut Hills, Mariemont and Lebanon by one goal each. They also lost at Princeton by two goals. “Indian Hill gave us our worst loss,” Thomas said. “I think we’ve improved. There are times when we look really good and times when we don’t look so good.” Thomas uses 10 seniors, three juniors, four sophomores and two freshmen. In that group of Cowboys are two pairs of brothers. Senior Ryan Derge and his freshman brother, Andrew, are scoring threats. Heading up the Wyoming defense is senior Drew Wayman and his freshman goalkeeper brother, Ethan. Ryan Derge and Drew Wayman are captains. “I’ve coached a lot of different brothers,” Thomas said. “This is the first time I’ve had brothers play in the same season.” Ethan Wayman appears to have the goal box locked up for the next few years, while Andrew Derge is on the verge of being a four-year scoring leader. At presstime, the Derges were 12th and 13th in the CHL, with Drew Wayman 14th and junior Toby Varland 15th. Junior Nolan Prevish is also in the top 20. “We have a lot of kids that have scored between six and eight goals,” Thomas said. “We have five or six that have scored at least six. It’s tough for teams to mark us because a lot of people can score.” Firepower is not an issue for the Cowboys. The issue is reloading as opposed to relaxing.
Wyoming junior Toby Varland (2) deposits a penalty kick into the goal against Deer Park Oct. 1. The Cowboys beat the Wildcats 8-1. SCOTT SPRINGER/COMMUNITY PRESS
“Our biggest problem is retaining the momentum that we have,” Thomas said. “We tend to be a team that comes out really strong in the first 20 or 25 minutes. Then we have a lapse and that’s usually when we give up some goals.” Should Thomas stop the lapse, Wyoming could make a decent October run. For the last three seasons, the Cowboys have played at least three tournament games. A lot also depends on seeding. “I think in the Cincinnati bracket we’ll be seeded third behind Indian Hill and McNicholas,” Thomas said. “Once we go to the draw, we’ll have to see what’s the best path for us.” The path would be a choice of squaring off with Indian Hill or McNicholas, or going another direction, which would likely involve matchups with Fenwick and/or Carroll. Before that, the Cowboys must wrap up the regular season against Turpin Oct. 10. “We got very lucky last year and beat them,” Thomas said. “If we can solidify things going into the tournament, we can make a nice run.”

More than just a summer haircut Recently while visiting the local barbershop for an overdue late summer haircut, I waited my turn to climb on the legendary lever pump barber chair, where childhood memories began this ritual of a haircut. I can still vision my grandpa’s backroom barbershop in Seymour, IN, as he stood most of the day behind his only lever-pump barber chair. Many of his barbering years were back in the early horse and buggy days. Grandpa shared memories about his early role as a barber with also needing to be a counselor, comedian, storyteller and philosopher. Traditions were started and passed

on in the old American barbershop. My grandpa, in many ways, played the role of a community historian as well as a reporter of news updates with local
customers. My grandfather shared quite a few rituals with me that I haven’t really treasured, as I should. Some were little, like; “Every time you pass sheep in a field, you reach in your pocket and turn your wallet over” creating the possibility of future wealth.
Another ritual was upon entering the barbershop, Grandpa would take one of his numerous bottles of hair tonic down from the shelf, put a little drop on him and also put a dab on the barber chair for good luck in business that day. I have kept part of that ritual as I have his old barbershop wall pendulum clock and a few old razors, shaving brush, plus one of his hair tonic bottles on display in our house. Every time when I’m dusting that area of the house, I open the bottle and put a dash from the bottle titled “Lilac De Fleurs” on me for good luck. More importantly as traditions and rituals often go, they
CH@TROOM Oct. 2 question Congress has passed an exemption from federal law to allow the Delta Queen to once again operate as an overnight passenger vessel. Would you feel safe as a passenger on the Delta Queen? Why or why not?
“I would feel safe aboard the Delta Queen on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Compare the DQ’s safety record versus the Ocean-going Carnival cruise liners with thousand of passengers on board. Granted the DQ is wood, but at least land is in site 100 percent of the time and there are not any Somali pirates (Indian Ocean), ice bergs (Titanic) or cowardly captains (Costa Concordia). It will be great to see the Delta Queen back in the Queen City at the New Banks. Hopefully The Belle of Louisville will be here to race the DQ again for opening day. I will look forward to that overhead picture (from a blimp) and all the politicians there taking credit. They may outnumber the passengers. Go figure!” T.D.T.
“I would feel more safe on the Delta Queen, for if were to sink, at least you could swim to shore. If I were to ride with the government, I think we just keep sinking and no way to be saved.” D.J. “Why not? The Delta Queen still appears as a sound vessel, and I am certain all maintenance is up to par according to maritime and Coast Guard regulations. Yes, I would love to take a trip on this historic boat.” O.H.R.

structure ships not being safe for overnight passengers don't we understand? This regulation was put in place for a good reason. Sentimentality is not a reasonable justification to risk people's lives.” F.S.D.
“I would feel very safe on the Delta Queen. This boat has been a long tradition on the Ohio River and a true spirit for the city of Cincinnati. The company that owns the Queen has taken very good care of it. Ed Seurkamp
“I remember this same battle being waged over 40 years ago and several times in the interim. I have no idea why Congress cannot resolve this matter once and for all. “I would love the opportunity to take a lengthy cruise on the Queen, confident the crew is well-trained and the boat is equipped with adequate safety gear. “The whole issue in the past was the wooden hull of this vessel. With the lock systems on the waterways and the radar/ sonar and other modern navigational aids, I very much doubt a fatal accident could occur due to the hull's material alone.” R.V.
“As much as the Delta Queen is part of Cincinnati tradition, I personally would not want to spend time traveling on an old wooden boat. “While I like adventure, the DQ is way past its prime and it was taken out of service for good reason, it is dangerous. It does not meet federal standards and Mr. Chabot is trying to make points with the old folks on the West Side by endangering them. “But the Delta Queen is due for retirement. Let her go.” J.Z.
Sept. 25 question Should college athletes be paid? If so, now much? If not, why not?
“Division 1 (FBS) athletes on full scholarship get room, board, meals, tuition and books. These scholarships can last up to five years; so far so good. However the scholarships can be withdrawn or renewed on a yearly basis. Not all athletes playing a sport have these 'full rides.’ Athletes on full rides are not allowed to work. They put in about 30 hours per week on their sport plus going to class and studying. Many athletes come from homes that can not provide spending money; they cannot sell their tickets or memorabilia. Many of these college sports (football, basketball) provide billions in revenue to the colleges via TV packages and tickets sales. I have no problem with these athletes getting some reasonable spending money. Their head coaches make millions. I am quite sure the athletic departments can spare this stipend. Go figure!” T.D.T.

give us a sense of belonging and reconstruct old memories. So opening that bottle with its aged lilac smells revitalizes a picture of me being an 8-year-old kid with Grandpa taking me in his barbershop. Memories of walking in with all the lingering distinctive shop smells, getting pumped up high and swirled in the barber chair. Grandpa would blanket my lower face with warm shaving cream while manipulating a shaving brush and tickling my neck, causing me to squirm in the chair. Next, he would sharpen the straight edge razor using the strap belt on the side of the chair to hone the blade
and then pretending to cut my imaginary facial hair, he removed the cream carefully off my chin. Finally, it was followed by my favorite: the hair tonic rub and scalp massage during one of grandpa’s stories. Ending my visit was the enjoyment of looking at old copies of “Archie” comic books in his newspaper magazine reading stack. Nostalgias maybe, but just by sitting in the local barber’s mythical chair for a haircut, I was able to imagine, visualize and sense those fond memories. Wes Adamson is a resident of Wyoming.
Winter is coming – time to get ready The Farmers’ Almanac and other prognosticators are predicting a much colder, a more snowy and a very long winter. Whether you believe in these soothsayers, it is a good idea to give some thought with preparing for the upcoming seasonal change. Over the years, I have picked up a few ideas and am happy to share. I like Gene Powell to keep things COMMUNITY PRESS easy and simGUEST COLUMNIST ple! The Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends that you have on hand at least a threeday supply of food and water for the obvious reason that rescuers probably won’t get to you for that long if we experience a major emergency. This is good planning, but generally, our emergencies are limited to snow days with hungry children at home. If you are interested in what FEMA has to say, check out Ready.gov. Milk is one of those items folks rush to get before a snow storm hits. Here’s a simple and easy idea to eliminate that need: say your family uses a gallon of milk a week. The expiration date on milk is out about 14 to 16 days. So if you buy two gallons of milk the next time you go to the store, and then go back to buying one gallon of milk a week from then on, and always using the oldest milk first, you will always have at least a week’s supply of fresh milk. You can use the same storage and rotation process for cereal, soups and other food stuffs. Perishable fruits and vegetables have a much shorter shelf life, so adjust your process accordingly. Buy the items the family likes and normally use – if they won’t eat it, why buy it? Pharmacy needs can also become an issue when inclement weather approaches. Aspirin and other over-the-counter items are generally easy to obtain and can be bought in sufficient quantities per container as to not to run out during a storm. Prescriptions can be an issue if you can only get

a 30-day supply at a time and you run out in the middle of a storm. Check with your health care provider or pharmacist to see if you can obtain a “bridge” prescription so that you can set up a storage and rotation process for your medications as with foodstuffs noted above. Have your service center winterize your vehicle, performing the preventative maintenance to keep you safe and toasty. You may want to keep at least a half a tank of gas in your vehicle all winter. Being stuck on an expressway with no gas during a snow or ice storm wouldn’t be fun at best, and life threatening at worse. There may be some items you may want to consider placing in your vehicle – extra gloves, scarves and maybe a coat, or anything else that might help you personally if you get stuck somewhere in a storm. I know some folks who keep a small shovel in the truck along with their jumper cables and tool box all winter. Did I mention having extra batteries at home, a crank radio with a cell phone charger, having your fireplace clean ... good luck this winter!

Two-way brisket can be made in oven, slow cooker The seasons on our little patch of heaven are marked by what’s going on outside in our gardens and what my husband, Frank, is doing with our outside equipment. Right now he’s “salting things away for the winter,” meaning he’s servicing the tiller, tractor, boat and lawn mowers for a winter rest in the gaRita rage. Heikenfeld Our bell RITA’S KITCHEN peppers have finally ripened, so I was able to add them to an antipasto tray I made for a friend’s rehearsal dinner.
Easy antipasto
Need a stunning and delicious appetizer? An antipasto tray fills the bill. It is not only appealing to the eye, but there’s something on the tray for everybody. Go to your olive bar and ask lots of questions. I went to the Eastgate Jungle Jim’s olive bar and was able to sample whatever I wanted. This will help in choosing the right ingredients for your budget and guests. I did choose olives without pits. Since prosciutto is expensive, I bought a few slices to garnish and folded them over on top of the antipasto. I also sprinkled a can of chickpeas on top. The nice thing about this recipe is that it can be assembled a day ahead. For the sauce, I use Caesar salad dressing with fresh herbs stirred in. I drizzle the dressing on right before I serve it.
My favorite two-way brisket
Brisket is a cut of meat from the lower chest or breast of beef. It is amazingly flavorful, but tough, so slow cooking is a must. Either way you cook this – in the oven or in a slow cooker – the brisket turns out tender and so delicious. Serve with mashed potatoes or noodles.
3 pounds beef brisket 2 cups chili sauce 1 cup brown sugar, packed 1 cup beef broth 1 very large onion, sliced 1 ⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves 3 bay leaves Salt and pepper to taste
Oven: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine chili sauce, sugar and broth. Pour about half of this in the bottom of roasting pan. Place brisket on sauce, fat side up. Distribute onion, cloves and bay leaves over bris-
ket. Pour rest of sauce over. Cover and bake 50-55 minutes per pound or until meat is fork tender. Remove brisket from pan and remove bay leaves and whole cloves. Cut brisket across the grain. Skim off any fat from top of sauce. Pour sauce over brisket (or put sauce in refrigerator overnight and the fat will congeal on top for easy removal. Then reheat with brisket in 375 degree oven, covered, or in microwave). Slow cooker: I like to cook mine 9-12 hours or so on low, until meltingly tender.
An antipasto tray can be customized to fit different budgets and appetites.THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD
Perfectly grilled salmon/seafood following the 70/30 rule Have the grill hot, lightly brush both sides of fish with oil, and start grilling skin side up with the grill closed. (Or put a disposable pan over the fish). Leave it alone until about 70 percent of the fish is done on first side. You’ll know it by the looks and also if it will release easily. This allows fish to form a nice crust. Turn it and finish cooking. The rule of about 7-10 minutes per inch of thickness works, also. Start with 7 minutes and go from there.
Readers want to know:
Honing steels: “My honing/knife steel doesn’t work anymore. Should I replace it?” Run your thumbnail around the circumference of the tool. If you can still feel grooves, your steel is still useful. It is magnetized to pick up microscopic fillings that come off the knife’s blade. It’s a good idea to rub the steel with a cloth after use so grooves don’t get clogged. Now unless the honer has diamond chips in it, most steels won’t sharpen a dull knife (they restore the knife’s bite by straightening the microscopic “teeth” at the edge that fold with use). Now even if your honing steel is in good condition, sometimes a knife doesn’t respond to honing. If that happens, it’s time to get the knife sharpened professionally.

Lifestyle expert to speak at Antiques Festival
Beware of e-mail, internet scammers
The 48th Annual Cincinnati Art & Antiques Festival benefitting Convalescent Hospital for Children, Children’s Hospital Medical Center will be Oct. 11-Oct. 13 at the Sharonville Convention Year. Show hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, parking is complimentary and tickets are $10 for the three-day event. This year’s show will present Cincinnati Interior Designers’ “Walk through Time Exhibit” a well as an antique and classic boat exhibit, the festival treasures and a raffle. The fun begins 6 p.m. to 9 p.m Thursday, Oct. 10, with preview party. Tickets are $125.
These days scammers have taken to the internet to steal your money with fake emails, fraudulent websites and misleading sales offers. While internet scams are numerous, several consumers still report receiving scams through the mail. A Fort Thomas man wrote me about a credit card offer he received from AmTrade International Bank. It offered him a credit card with “A $3,600 Visa credit limit! Guaranteed!” The man sent what was supposed to have been a refundable $900 fee, but says he never received the credit card nor a pre-paid gas card that was also promised. The 74-year-old man says he’s on a fixed income so the loss of all that money hit him pretty hard. Although he paid by check and contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Trade Commission,
» Friday, Oct 11: Lecture, box lunch and book singing with acclaimed lifestyle expert Danielle Rollins and author of bestseller “Soirée Entertaining with Style.” She will share her uniquely chic view on gracious living and stylish entertaining. There will be a book signing immediately following the lecture. Tickets are $ 50. Lecture is at 11 am with luncheon following. To make reservations for the preview party or lecture, call 513-5619050. Proceeds from this year’s festival will continue to support Cincinnati Children’s College Hill campus.

airline tickets. She suspected it was a scam because there was no return address and the letter had bad punctuation. So she too was told to call a phone number to claim her prize, allegedly valued at nearly $1,400. Better Business Bureau says this is just a phishing scam intending to steal people’s personal information. This woman never entered a contest to receive this award of two free airline tickets plus two nights a major hotel. Fortunately, just like the Hyde Park woman, the Wyoming woman didn’t call the number and says she wants to warn others about this scam. Many people across the nation have received this letter. One person who called was told they first had to attend a timeshare sales presentation before they could receive the tickets they won. Another per-
son who called was told they had to give their credit card number over the phone. One of the most frequent scams I’ve run into involves criminals sending you what appears to be a real check for thousands of dollars. You’re supposed to deposit the check, keep some of the money, then wire the rest to the sender. Unfortunately, many consumers learn too late that the check they received in the mail is phony – and now they’re on the hook to repay the bank for the good money they wired to the criminals. Bottom line, the mail is still full of scams these days so you have to beware. Howard Ain’s column appears bi-weekly in the Community Press newspapers.

The University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College will host its first 5K fundraiser this fall to benefit current and future students. The UC Blue Ash 5K Dash for Scholarships will be at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, on the college’s 135-acre campus (9555 Plainfield Road in Blue Ash). Proceeds from the event will go toward establishing even more scholarships that will help support current or future
UC Blue Ash students who show a real commitment to their academics and to earning a college degree. “There is nothing more gratifying to me than helping someone pursue their dreams by giving them access to a college education,” said Cady Short-Thompson, Dean of UC Blue Ash College. “Because financial barriers are the number one reason why our students are forced to stop-out or dropout of college, we hope to see a large turnout of local residents and community partners joining our students, alumni, faculty and staff in supporting this important cause.” The chip-timed 5K will begin in the center of the UC Blue Ash campus, travel north on Plainfield Road just south of the Carpenter’s Run intersection and loop back to the campus for the finish. Participants can run or walk – there will be individual and team awards avail-

If you’re not a runner or walker, you can still do your part to support students. “Since we know that not everyone likes to wake up to an alarm clock on a Saturday morning, or run or walk the three-plus miles that make up a 5K, we also offer the fun option to Sleep in for Scholarships,” said Meredith Delaney, director of development and alumni relations at UC Blue Ash.
“You will still receive a free UC Blue Ash Dash tshirt and gift bag while supplies last, along with the satisfaction of knowing you are helping a deserving student advance their academic goals.” To register for the UC Blue Ash 5K Dash for Scholarships, please go to www.runningtime.net, or for more information about the event contact Meredith Delaney at Meredith.Delaney @uc.edu or 513-936-1734.

The Greater Cincinnati Watercolor Society launched its fall show at the Evergreen Retirement Community, 230 W. Galbraith Road, Sept. 22. The hallways of the center give viewers a chance to see more than 65 paintings. Amidst the traditional flowers and landscapes some pieces generated more interest. For example, Jane Hittinger’s “Last Snow” and “Wild Flowers” are simple yet serene. Then a change of style for Kathy Lawrence generated “The Colorado Man” whose soft beard blends into the background. For a touch of humor, Ardelle Duffy painted “Wrath of Grapes” composed of jumping silhouettes. This free show and sale continues until Oct. 27 with public viewing daily from noon to 4 p.m. The watercolor society offers painting demonstration followed by an open studio every first Wednesday of the month at 10 a.m. at the Cincinnati Art Club, 1021 Parkside

Added Orly Segal, “Once being a kid myself, I wish I had a Hebrew school program like this. No matter if you were raised Reform, Conservative, or Orthodox we are all one family here at Chabad.” Chabad Hebrew School strives to keep the

“All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914” will be presented in collaboration with Cincinnati Opera and performed by Cantus Vocal Ensemble and Theater Latté Da at 7 p.m., Monday, Nov. 11, The piece tells the remarkable true story of how, on the first Christmas Day of WWI, Allied Forces and German soldiers put down their guns and left their trenches for a brief time to meet their enemies in No Man’s Land to exchange gifts, to share photographs of loved ones, and to bury the dead. Although they eventually returned to their trenches and continued a war that would last four more years, in this moment they overcame the fear that had placed a gun in their hands. For tickets call 241-2742 or visit cincinnatiopera.org. Five years ago, Christ Church Cathedral began a unique children’s choir to foster the development of a life-long enjoyment of music through the singing of sacred choral compositions. Last year, 18 young people sang for the cathedral and also at special public events, such as a holiday concert at Cincinnati’s Christmas Saengerfest in Over-the-Rhine. The Cathedral Choir of Children and Youth is beginning its new program year and is open to new members. This city-wide program accepts children as young as seven years of age (second-grade). No prior music experience is required. The Cathedral Choir of Children and Youth has a busy season ahead. They will sing four times during worship at the cathedral, as well as during several “away” performances. For more information, call Christ Church Cathedral. The church is at 318 E. Fourth St., Cincinnati; 6211817; christchurchcincinnati.org.
