Correction

A story on the Wyoming High School reading list that ran in the Oct. 7 Tri-County Press contained a sentence that incorrectly paraphrased a newsletter. The sentence should read: Superintendent Gail-Kist Kline said in “School Chatter,” a district newsletter, that the process wasn’t followed, and high school Principal Aaron Marshall said a new process would be completed by Dec. 18.

For Wyoming couple, Steinway purchase shows College-Conservatory program’s value By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com

Just days before the summer officially closed its eyes to make way for autumn, Glendale Place Care Center and the Ole School Reunion held two very different and very successful affairs. SEE LIFE, B1

The November election is three weeks away, but you have only one more day to submit election-related guest columns to the Tri-County Press. Because of the number of columns we expect to receive, the deadline is 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15. Columns should be 500 words or less and include a color head shot of the writer. Once we confirm a column, we will post it at Cincinnati.com, on the appropriate community page(s). We will publish as many as space allows in print Oct. 21 issues, but can not promise that all will make print. We will not publish electionrelated columns in the Oct. 28 issue – the last issue before the election – and will run only letters which respond to previously-published letters or columns.

Elizabeth and Eugene Pridonoff were featured in the Sept. 20 CBS “Sunday Morning” broadcast. The couple were part of a historic purchase of Steinway pianos by the University of Cincinnati.

A Wyoming couple was featured in an edition of CBS “Sunday Morning” after their participation in a historic purchase of Steinway pianos for the University of Cincinnati. Eugene and Elizabeth Pridonoff, both professors at the College-Conservatory of Music, had been accompanied by film crews as they traveled to New York City to choose pianos for the university. UC had approved the purchase of 165 Steinways at a cost of $4.1 million. The pianos, which had been delivered between December and April this year, have enhanced all departments at the college, and have elevated the school’s appeal for incoming students, the Pridonoffs said. “When you go into a voice studio, it helps them to sing better if they hear an instrument that plays so beautifully,” Elizabeth said. “Everyone got a Steinway in their studio.” The program showed the process by which the musicians chose several pianos in a Steinway showroom. “That is not so easy,” Eugene said. “You play an instrument, and then move to the next.

“In our culture where things are fleeting and the world is taken by immediate gratification, to have these, which will last for centuries, they thought enough of our faculty so we can give to our students.”

Elizabeth Pridonoff

“It’s subjective, the feel and sound of each instrument.” “There is a tremendous difference in sound,” Elizabeth said. “The soul of each piano is personal.” Elizabeth said the purchases show the school’s commitment to a legacy of beauty in music. “In our culture where things are fleeting and the world is taken by immediate gratification,” she said, “to have these, which will last for centuries, they thought enough of our faculty so we can give to our students.” Eugene agreed. “This is a gift to the community,” he said. “It represents a legacy for UC and is an indication of investment and endorsement to what CCM is to the university and the community. “It makes the school even more a global center for the arts.”

Beacon Orthopaedics takes services to next level By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com

Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine has served as a place where injured athletes can undergo surgery and receive physical therapy in Sharonville for nearly nine years. By year’s end, Beacon will offer a place where anyone can continue to get into shape at its Sharonville location, where renovations include the addition of D1 Sports Training/Therapy. D1, based in Nashville, Tenn., offers state-of-the-art training facilities in a high-energy environment, according to its Web site. Personal trainers will be available for participants, whether they’ve been recovering from an injury or not. They don’t have to be athletes, though D1 is geared toward “the same experience and benefits collegiate athletes receive in top-tier athletic programs,” the Web site reports. “This is not a typical gym,” said Dr. Tim Kremchek. “It’s a high

The facility had been built for offices and surgical suites, and included an indoor baseball facility.

“Over time, we found we needed more space,” said Glen Prasser, project manager at Beacon. He said more office space was needed for Kremchek and Dr. Peter Cha, as well as for physical therapy services. Those areas will be open for business in October. “Sports is a huge part of society,” Kremchek said. “And sports medicine has become prevention, education, nutrition

and conditioning. “Completion of the circle will get kids back on the field,” he said. “This allows us to complete that circle.” “Our motto is: patients come first,” Cha said. “We wanted to expand our services to better accommodate the patient from injury to full recovery. “Our goal is to provide a onestop shop in a first-class environment.” “We wanted a high-performance training area for athletes, but also for injured athletes to go after physical therapy,” Prasser said. He explained that when physical therapy concludes, athletes historically have been left to their own devices to get back into shape. “We wanted to create a place a person can go after physical therapy, to get back on the field and compete,” he said. Eventually, Prasser said Beacon hopes to add a conference center and educational wing as well.

Glendale’s blessing of animals sets tails wagging By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com

The congregation was attentive, sniffing the fresh fall air and wagging tails, awaiting a blessing to celebrate the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. Four churches in Glendale came together, leashes in hand, Sunday, Oct. 4, for the Blessing of the Animals outside Christ Church Glendale. The Rev. Roger Foote, pastor of Christ Church, was joined by the Rev. Thom Shuman of First Presbyterian Church in Glendale, the Rev. David Fay of St. Gabriel Church, and the Rev. Clark Echols of Glendale New Church. After welcoming remarks, the Christ Church choir, under director Bryan

Pets and their owners gather at Christ Church Glendale for the blessing of the animals. Mock, sang “All Things Bright and Beautiful.” A reading from Genesis and several prayers were read, including The Prayer of St. Francis.

St. Francis is the patron saint of animals. Then it was time for the blessing of the 40 dogs and five cats in attendance. Each minister bent over

the animal, reciting: “Bless, O God, this your creature, and bless all who are involved in its care and protection.” Throughout the service, the animals remained well behaved, though a couple of dogs eyed the cats, and a few barked an occasional greeting. Shuman said it was a good opportunity to bring together people of different faiths, as well as a way to bless their pets. “We’re all part of God’s family,” he said. “We worship because of different traditions, but we seek to share God’s love and grace, especially with the creatures.” His own pet, a golden retriever named Dusty, goes to work with him. “He’s part of my min-

istry,” Shuman said. “God is about bringing all things together,” Foote said. “This is an indication of all things coming together and being aware of God’s

blessings, recognizing that we are all in it together.” Foote said he also blessed “those responsible for taking care of the animals.” “Parishioners are meeting each other through their dogs,” he said. “That’s really a nice aspect.” One of those owners was Susie Porter of Wyoming, who brought her two dogs, Sandy and Putter, for blessings. “I feel blessed to have these two,” she said of the dogs she adopted from Save the Animals several years ago. “They’re such a part of my life,” Porter said. “It was a great idea.” Will Foote organize another day of blessing next year? “Absolutely,” he said.

Fire prevention week heats up in Glendale; two leave for active duty By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com

Glendale’s fire chief kicked off Fire Prevention Week with safety information and news from the vil-

lage department. Chief Dave Moore announced that two firefighters were leaving for military duty, congratulating them on their choice to serve.

Don Schuckman was recently deployed to Iraq, and Chris Sutton will begin basic training as a Marine. Moore also reminded residents that Oct. 4-10 is Fire Safety Prevention Week. “Check your smoke detectors,” he said during Glendale’s Village Council meeting. “They’re your first line of defense for fire. “If you don’t have one, call the firehouse,” he said. “We’ll be happy to secure them for you.” Councilwoman Nikki Alles-White reported that the fire committee met in September and discussed

the village’s need for a second fire truck. She said selection of a truck was limited due to the door dimensions of the firehouse on Sharon Road. Refurbished trucks were considered, but there were concerns about repair costs, warranties and reliability. A new vehicle, with a $450,000 price tag, was discussed. If that option is approved, the order must be placed by Dec. 31 to get the featured model, Alles-White explained. “The chief will continue to investigate vehicles,” she said.

Lt. Dave LeCompte reported on police activity during the month of September. The focus, he said, was on school zones, since classes had resumed at Glendale Elementary and St. Gabriel School. Ten speeding tickets were issued in those zones, LeCompte said. He also reported that the police department has acquired an electronic fingerprinting system. “We hope within 30-45 days to have it in operation,” LeCompte said. “It will increase our investiga-

tion capabilities.” Councilman Ralph Hoop reported that the Village had closed on the purchase of the Eckstein building. He said inspection found that it needs “a lot of cosmetic work, but it’s in good condition.” Hoop said the village will discuss plans for a marker of its historical significance as an African American school. “We want to put some significant effort into that,” Hoop said.

Springdale teen writes the book as author, publisher By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com

It started as a dream that 10-year-old Mandie Reiber wanted to write down. As her imagination and her manuscript grew, she wondered whether it could become something more. It turned into a novel, which the Springdale teenager has self-published. Now it’s for sale on Amazon.com. Mandie, now 15, wrote her story on loose-leaf paper, which she kept in a binder. “I showed it to a couple of girls at school, and they loved it,” she said. Mandie, who is home-schooled, attends classes part-time at Cincinnati Christian School. Her friends would ask

questions about the story, and make comments. The novel grew. “Sapphire” started as a single novel, but when she finished the book, Mandie decided that the story wasn’t finished. What followed was a trilogy that grew into a four-book series. “Sapphire” takes place in New York City at the beginning of the story, then moves to the magical, yet corrupt world of Faryn. In the story, a girl and two friends are kidnapped and taken to a magical world. “They are caught up in the good versus evil world,” Mandie said, “and they take the side of the fairies and magic.” The main character, Ebony Winter, is also

Mandie’s mom, Barb Reiber, said her daughter has been honing her craft for years. “Whenever she sits still, she’s always got a pencil in her hand,” Barb said. “She’s always drawing or writing.” Mandie also drew the

cover art for “Sapphire.” Once the book was completed, she was faced with another challenge. “Publishing was incredibly difficult,” Mandie said. “I finally ended up taking it into my own hands.” She found an online publisher, createspace.com. She typeset the manuscript, created the cover art, edited the text, then submitted the finished product. She set her price, and it’s for sale on Amazon.com. As a published author, Mandie intends to keep writing, and share her craft with others. “I want to be a writer and English teacher,” she said, “to help get others into this.”

health department at 3465725 to make an appointment. Squires also gave an update on the H1N1 vaccine. “A countywide clinic will be offered in early to midNovember,” he said. “It depends on whether all of the vaccine will be available.” Squires explained how the vaccine would be prioritized: pregnant women, caregivers of young children, health care personnel, those ages 6 months to 24 years, and finally those who are 25 to 64 years old.

“If you’re in doubt about whether to receive a vaccination, contact your physician,” Squires said. During the meeting, City Administrator Derrick Parham told council that the city would post information about the seven charter amendments that would appear on the Nov. 3 ballot. They include issues such as: • changes dealing with limits on petty cash accounts; • an amendment to delete a requirement that 50 percent of electors signing an at-large candidate’s peti-

Hamilton County Public Health is working with local schools to administer the H1N1 flu vaccine through school vaccination clinics. This should be a minimal interruption to students’ regular schedules while providing protection to thousands of children from H1N1 flu. School age children are among the key high-risk populations identified by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as being likely to come in contact with H1N1 flu. Like seasonal flu, H1N1 flu can be a serious contagious disease. An important step in protecting children from H1N1 flu is to receive the H1N1 flu vaccine. “We anticipate the first shipment of H1N1 flu vaccine to arrive in mid-October and additional shipments to arrive weekly,” Health Commissioner Tim Ingram said. “By working with schools to vaccinate school-age children, this allows physicians and health care centers focus on vaccinating other priority populations.” Vaccine availability will be limited at first, therefore people at highest risk for serious illness or complications from H1N1 flu will be first priority to receive the H1N1 vaccine. These groups include: • pregnant women; • people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age; • health care and emergency

services personnel who have direct patient contact; • persons between the ages of 6 months through 24 years of age; • people 25 - 64 with chronic health disorders or weakened immune systems. In order to administer vaccine as efficiently as possible, HCPH has offered to coordinate H1N1 flu vaccine clinics with all public, private and parochial schools in our jurisdiction (this excludes the cities of Cincinnati, Sharonville, Springdale and Norwood – these areas have separate health departments). Vaccine administered as part of all local school-based H1N1 flu vaccination clinics will be provided free of charge. Parents should have received or will receive a consent form and other vaccine information next week for each enrolled child and they should follow guidelines set by the school for completion.

Moeller makes statement with win By Mark Chalifoux

Princeton ahead for good, 21-20. Oak Hills out-gained Princeton by a 171-125 yard margin on the ground as the Highlanders held the ball for 28:41 compared to 19:19 for Princeton. Ware rushed for 67 yards and threw for 161 yards to lead Princeton. Princeton travels to Lakota West Oct. 16.

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The Moeller football team made a statement to the rest of the GCL with a dominating 35-13 win over Elder, and now the Crusaders are looking to make it two straight GCL wins as Moeller faces La Salle at home Oct. 16. “Right now, we’re certainly able to run the football pretty easily,” head coach John Rodenberg said. “The offensive line is creating a lot of holes and we’re using three tailbacks to keep everyone fresh.” The Moeller ground game has been thoroughly impressive, as the Crusaders are averaging more than six yards per carry and have racked up more than 2,000 total rushing yards this season. 323 of those yards came in the rout of Elder. Senior Jeff Aubin had 215 rushing yards and three touchdowns against the Panthers. “I take my hat off to Jeff Aubin; he had a fantastic game against Elder and is having a great season, along with our other backs, Richie Dyer and Tucker Skove,” Rodenberg said. “Collectively, our offensive line is just doing a great job.” The Crusaders have been so successful running the ball that they haven’t been forced to throw it much, despite having a standout quarterback in Andrew Hendrix. Hendrix made several big plays against Elder and has been a playmaker for the Crusaders’ offense in tough positions. The Moeller defense has been improving each week, according to Rodenberg. Moeller standout defensive end Marcus Rush had three sacks and an interception against Elder and linebacker

Moeller running back Jeff Aubin carries the ball against Elder. Aubin had 215 rushing yards and three touchdowns in the 35-13 win for Moeller. Garret Mize is having a fantastic season, according to his coach. “He’s been a leader for this defense all year long and he’s really come on strong as a starter,” Rodenberg said. “He’s had one of those special senior seasons and is doing a great job.” No team has been within 20 points of Moeller since Sept. 11 against Centerville and La Salle is coming into the Oct. 16 game as losers of three of their last four games. Moeller and La Salle’s only common opponent is Elder, who defeated La Salle 23-13 on Sept. 18. Despite the 4-3 record, the Lancers have been a worthy foe for both St. Xavier and Elder this season.

La Salle is led by quarterback Andrew Kummer, who has thrown for almost 1,400 yards and 12 touchdowns this season. The game is Oct. 16 at Lockland at 7:30 p.m.

Wyoming 47, Deer Park 7

Wyoming made it seven in a row with a blowout win over Deer Park. Wyoming junior Kyle Seyfried threw four touchdown passes while going 16of-21 passing to lead the Cowboys against Deer Park. Cowboy senior Isaiah Nearor rushed for 105 yards and added a touchdown on the ground for Wyoming. Jonathon Tighe caught one touchdown pass while

Wyoming High School defensive end Eric Price heads up the field with a fumble recovery during the 2nd quarter of Wyoming’s 47-7 win over Deer Park at Wyoming Friday night. Senior defensive lineman Jibreel Black caused the fumble and Price scooped it up and returned it 30 yards for a touchdown. The Cowboys are now 7-0 on the season. Evan Aleshire hauled in two touchdowns for the Cowboys (7-0). Wyoming is at Finneytown Oct. 16. Finneytown is the only winless team in the CHL.

Princeton 21, Oak Hills 20

In week seven, Princeton scored 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to best Oak Hills 21-20. The Highlanders led by a 20-7 margin before Princeton’s Spencer Ware scored on a one-yard run with 9:37 left to bring the score to 20-14. With 7:52 remaining the game, Garyn Pride scored on a 53-yard punt return to put

Lockland defeated CHCA for the first time since 1998 – and it needed every second to do so. Trailing 21-0 after the first quarter, the Eagles stormed back with 19 points in the final frame. But it wasn’t enough, as Lockland (7-0, 40) remained unbeaten and atop the Miami Valley Conference standings. CHCA (4-3, 2-2) hosts North Hardin and Clark Montessori (3-4, 0-3) each of the next two weeks before closing the regular season at Cincinnati Country Day (6-1, 2-1) on Oct. 30.

Hamilton Badin 33, Roger Bacon 6

A 1-yard touchdown run by senior tailback Jorian Hudson with two minutes and change left in the game helped Roger Bacon avoid the shutout. The Spartans (1-6, 0-4) rushed 37 times on the night for 67 yards – an average of 1.8 yards per carry. P.J. Bowling led the way with eight rushes for 38 yards. Roger Bacon hosts Alter (7-0, 4-0) Oct. 16 before playing Chaminade-Julienne (6-1, 3-1) the following week. The Spartans close out the season against Purcell Marian (1-5, 0-3) Oct. 30.

Heaton, Saunders lead Viking runners By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

She’s back. Princeton High School sophomore Claudia Saunders, who in track placed third in the hurdles at state as a freshman, has returned to the Vikings’ cross country team after missing the beginning of the season with a stress fracture. “Usually (stress fractures) are in your shins, but this one is in her big toe,” Princeton head coach Jim Crumpler said. Saunders was unable to train all summer. She was cleared to run before the cross country season began, but the stress fracture returned – along with a hip injury. Saunders, however, performed in the Vikings’ two most recent meets and finished first overall at the Kings Invitational with a time of

19:40, which is the ninthbest time posted by a GMC runner all season. “That’s well off her best time, but if we can get her under 19 minutes, I’ll be happy,” Crumpler said. Stepping up in Saunders’ absence were Jade Boggs, Jessica Rudd and Irene Musgrove. “Jade has stepped up major,” Crumpler said. “She’s gone from an average runner to a definitely above average runner. And the other girls have also improved.” On the boys’ side, junior Sam Heaton has led the top seven; his top time this season is a 16:38, which he recorded at the Wilmington Invitational. “He’s come within a second or two of that several times, so he’s shown tremendous improvement and has been very consistent all year,” Crumpler said. The boys’ team has a par-

ticularly strong supporting cast, which is headlined by No. 2 runner Brian Myers (17:51). “He doesn’t like to lose, especially to teammates,” Crumpled said of the sophomore. Junior Corey Selmon (18:01), who also wrestles for Princeton, is No. 3. “He brings a wrestler’s mentality,” Crumpler said. Dan Cureton (18:18), meanwhile, is the only senior boy in Princeton’s top seven. “He always had the talent, but he wasn’t always willing to work,” Crumpler said. “Well, he changed. He’s worked hard all season.” Also contributing are sophomore Matt Smith (18:13) and junior Marcus Donaldson (18:44), who also swims for Princeton. Crumpler hopes that both teams finish in the top half of the conference at the GMC meet.

Lions on cusp of national ranking tmeale@communitypress.com

The UC Bearcats are the only nationally ranked football team in Cincinnati. For now. The College of Mount St. Joseph squad is a perfect 30 (as of Oct. 2) and for several weeks has been an Honorable Mention in the Division-III Top 25 poll. “We’re not a Top 25 team yet, but I really like where we’re at,” head coach Rod Huber said. “We’re learning how to play as a team.” Mount St. Joe opened the year with a 27-18 win over Wilmington College Sept. 5. Quarterback Craig Mustard (Mason), a Miami of Ohio transfer, threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns, hooking up both times with wideout Derick Tabar (Colerain) to give the Lions a 14-12 halftime lead. Tailback Jake Davis (Anderson) gave his team some breathing room with a 2-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. Wide receiver Mike Zies (Anderson) chipped in with four catches for 56 yards, and linebacker Erik Prosser (Oak Hills) led the defense with 16 tackles and a forced fumble. Prosser was named Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Week for his efforts. “He’s done a nice job,” Huber said. “He has the ability to make plays. He runs well and plays exceptionally hard.” Prosser also led the Lions in tackles (12) during their

Area players contributing for Lions Many players from area schools have contributed to the Lions’ success this season. Among the schools represented are Moeller (Josh Sivie and Anthony Walsh); Princeton (Jesse Koch, Colton Tygrett and Chris Baker); Roger Bacon (Brendan Dean and Shane Coleman); Summit Country Day (Cody Steele); St. Xavier (Matt Stein and Nathan McGee); and Winton Woods (Antonio Poellnitz). second game, a 42-19 shellacking of Lakeland College (WI) Sept. 12. Tabar had another bid day at wideout, hauling in six receptions for 144 yards and two touchdowns, including a 61-yard scoring burst; he, too, was named HCAC Offensive Player of the Week. “His speed is deceptive,” Huber said. “He took a 3yard pass against Lakeland, made two moves and was 60 yards down the field. He has a knack for making tough catches, and he blocks well.” Wide receiver Brad Sersion (Anderson) added eight catches of his own for the Lions, which led 28-7 at halftime, and Davis added 64 rushing yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. Mount St. Joe remained perfect after its bye week, securing a 45-38 win over Rose-Hulman in its first league game of the season. “We knew Rose-Hulman had a very good offense, so we wanted to run the ball and keep their offense off the field,” Huber said. “We were able to do that, and they still put up 38 on us. But we feel our defense is capable of slowing people down.” Although the Lions allowed 38 points, they had

several big plays defensively, including a recovered fumble by Alex Harbin (Elder). Offensively, Davis had 155 yards and two touchdowns on the ground; he also had a 69-yard touchdown reception. Not surprisingly, he was named HCAC Player of the Week. “He’s had some big games for us,” said Huber, who also been impressed with tailback Brandon Brown (Atlanta Westlake) and senior offensive linemen Anthony Walsh (Moeller) and Chris Harrison (Oak Hills). In addition to HCAC awards, the Mount St. Joe coaching staff also doles out player-of-the-week honors. Recipients include Tabar, Davis, Prosser, freshman defensive back Jerrick Boykin (Glen Este), junior kicker Brian Weimer (Oak Hills), defensive lineman Rob Fox (Colerain) and senior punter Joe Vortkamp (Anderson). “Jerrick has been our No. 2 guy and got some playing time due to an injury,” Huber said. “He made three big plays (against RoseHulman) and ended the game on an interception.” Huber praised Boykin for being a model Lion. “He went through his

reps very quietly, didn’t complain about not getting much playing time, and then he came in and shined,” he said. “I tell my kids ‘I’m not sure how much you’re going to play, but you better be prepared for when you do.’” The Lions may be young this year – “We only have three or four seniors on both sides of the ball,” Huber said – but they are certainly diverse; they boast players from eight different states, including New York, Florida and Missouri. “I’m very proud and excited that we’ve been able to recruit on a regional level, which was unheard of when I got here,” said Huber, who arrived at Mount St. Joe in 1990. “That said, we butter our bread with the (Interstate) 275 kids. Some of these kids used to be rivals (in high school), but when they step into the locker room, they’re a team. They drop the Elder/La Salle and Oak Hills/Harrison baggage at the door. They still have some fun on Saturday mornings and talk about which high schools won on Friday. But it’s one heartbeat.”

And this is coming from someone who’s first name is ‘psycho.’ How will you explain that to a judge, ‘umm he like fell under my shoe and I thought it was a bug...’ psycho-dave “A man with that kind of violence toward a small child makes me wonder -is this the first incident? Or is it just a culmination of violence toward this child? The entire situation needs some very close scrutiny.” conniej “Lock him up and throw away the key.

‘bump’ the guy in the mouth. He probably hasn’t never been disciplined in his life and swung and hit the man in the mouth with the mug.” rodeo40 “I know how this guy feels. Most single moms are terrible parents to young boys.” “The kids act like brats and the mom wants you to deal with it. Truthfully, some of the kids of single moms I get with I wish they would just run out in traffic and get run over so that I don’t have to deal with them. “That said, I would just get up and leave if a kid made me mad, I wouldn’t stomp on them.” catdogbird “Catdogbird, if you ‘know how this man feels’ then maybe you need counseling, too! My advice to you would be to stop dating women with children. It also doesn’t sound like you should ever have children of your own! “It doesn’t matter what the child did! I have a 6-year-old and sometimes he is clumsy. I think it is because he goes through growth spurts. That being said, the way I understood it, the boy bumped into the man and the man had a mug up to his mouth while taking a drink and when the boy bumped him it caused the man to get his mouth cut. There is never any reason to abuse a child this way (or any other). I’m sure this isn’t the first time this guy has hurt the child (or some other child).” “There is no excuse or reasoning for what this man did!” mamaoftwoboys

Because of this I have made changes in my life and found better ways to live within my means. I can not afford even a dollar more for fear it will be one less for my family and I! Now is not a good time. I don’t know when there will be a good time. I feel for those people affected by this and other levy issues. I worry about my family and myself more though. So for now ... no new taxes!” dwnnotout “A worthy cause but, in today’s economic climate and distrust of government spending, it’s time for anyone requesting public money to provide an upfront accounting of exactly where every single penny is going to be spent. “How do we place our trust in the constant requesting of public funds when there is never a detailed explanation of where that money will be going accompaning the request ? How did we get to a point where the public has to go looking for deatails that explain their their money is going to end up? “Not a day goes by that doesn’t include some scandal, somewhere, that centers around the public’s trust being betrayed. “If this levy were to pass, what guarntee is being offered to the pubic that not a dime of this money will be misused?” whostheguyinthehat “So, those who are not supporting MRDD, what do you think should be done

If we want to keep jail costs down, reduce homelessness, keep families together and safe, reduce crime, then we have to spend this money up front on services.

That number does not include the millions and millions that MRDD gets from Medicaid every year. “I agree with other posters here – until MRDD is completely accountable and transparent with its spending, my husband and I will never vote for another levy. We’d rather sacrifice to provide for our own child than pay higher taxes and see such waste!” Talks_In_Class

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote to save our public library

Citizens of Cincinnati and Hamilton County have a public library that provides outstanding services and resources. Last year the Downtown branch was named as the busiest library in the country by The Public Library Association. This association also ranked our system the best in the country for its size. Now our Cincinnati and Hamilton County Library is in crisis due to a 28 percent reduction in state funding. Even though the library cut 20 percent of its staff and reduced hours of operation since 2000, it has more recently had to spend capital funds, which are intended for building projects, to cover shortfalls in operating expenses. Next year the library is facing a $16 million deficit. Unless we vote yes for the Issue 7 levy, our library will have no choice but to close up to half of neighborhood library branches, cut 250 additional librarians and

Eagle Scout’s project to help feed those in need By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com

Glendale’s annual food and clothing drive to help needy families in the village has a new leader this year. Jedidiah Washam, a Princeton High School junior who is working on his rank of Eagle Scout, has taken over the project to benefit local families. As he sifted through ideas for his Eagle Scout project, “he said he wanted to do something that mattered to people,” said his mother, Angelica Vietti. Washam, a member of Glendale Troop 417, had previously helped with the police department’s food drive. “I wanted to help,” the Springdale resident said. “But I will be in charge this year, and will run the police department drive this year.” Glendale Police Chief Dave Warman welcomed the help with the annual effort to help needy families in the Glendale area. Donations also will be sent to Matthew: 25 Ministries and the Freestore Foodbank. “I think that especially now, with this economy,

He has organized volunteers to ask for donations outside Kroger in Woodlawn Oct. 17 and Oct. 24. On Oct. 18 and Oct. 25, volunteers also will walk door to door, collecting goods in Glendale. “I think this will help him develop excellent management skills to use later in his life,” Warman said, “as well as a feeling of giving. “It will definitely give him leadership skills to use and teach to someone else,” Warman said of Washam.

Glendale Place staffer Martine Edmund, Fools For Christ clown Ron Wilson and activities director Darlene Bryant showing resident Emma Jones all the baked goodies. Note her look of astonishment at the variety.

Glendale hosts festive farewells to summer Just days before the summer officially closed its eyes to make way for autumn, Glendale Place Care Center and the Ole School Reunion held two very different and very successful affairs. On Sept. 18, Glendale Place hosted its first carnival to benefit Alzheimer’s research. Wow! is the bet way to describe it. By the time I arrived, some 200 people had been there, and more were constantly coming in. At least 300 took time out of their day to support the cause. Activities director Darlene Bryant was beside herself with the response. Every place I looked was bustling with activity. Children were giggling and running, but you didn’t have to be a child to enjoy yourself. There were almost as many over-50 residents and visitors sporting face paint as there were tots. Clowns, ring toss, the duck pond and sucker pull brought out the kid in all of us. Chaplain Jerome Weaver manned the cornhole toss. The 13 basket raffles were a big hit. No skimpy tokens these, the large baskets offered different themes such as Halloween and movie night. I saw baskets filled with chocolates, bath and body goods and tastes of Cincin-

nati as well as a kids’ basket. There was even one for an overnight hotel stay. The huge bake sale offered just about every yummy treat you have ever enjoyed. Evelyn The level of volwas Perkins unteerism absolutely amazing. Community Through fundraisers Press in the various columnist departments, both staff and residents were very generous with their donations. Vitas Innovative Hospice Care, Hospice of Cincinnati and family members of the Glendale Place staff and residents volunteered their time and talent, too. One of the clowns, Ron Wilson, is from Fools for Christ. He graciously donated his fee back to the cause and was a whirling dervish of entertainment. Darlene reported that at least 25 staff members, their spouses and children would be attending the Alzheimer’s Walk at Sawyer Point. Everyone at Glendale Place is grateful for the carnival turnout, and hopes to

see you next year. Lil Griffith wants all to know that the fifth annual Ole School Reunion drew almost 200 people Sept. 19. Even with the economy, graduates came from all over the country to reconnect. The weather was perfect, and there was plenty of fun for the youngsters. Posted around the shelter were photographs of attendees from their Eckstein School days on through Princeton graduation. Especially noteworthy was the memorial display of those who are no longer with us. Approximately 20 alumni died over the past year, and Lil says that is why we will continue the reunion. Prior the these reunions, we saw each other at funerals, and then drifted back to our separate lives after the service. The reunions serve as a way to reinforce the ties that bind us, and give us time to share our love, remembrances, and news in a happy, relaxed atmosphere.

Thoughts about an unwelcome topic Some of us may turn the page when we see what this column’s about. It’s about death. And to us page-turners, Col. Nathan Jessep (Jack Nicholson), might angrily blurt out as he did in the movie, “A Few Good Men,” “You can’t handle the truth!” He could say that to many of us because our culture is the most death-denying that’s ever existed. Dr. Irvin D. Yalom points out in “Staring at the Sun” how our anxiety about dying varies throughout our life cycle. Even as young children we harbored a certain angst about death and the possible losses it would entail. From about six to puberty, death anxiety ordinarily goes underground and returns more forcefully during adolescence. Teenagers can become preoccupied with death. Many teens try to soothe their anxiety by seeing

It’s understandable that today, as our faith diminishes, we have an almost obsessive concern with lengthening life and staving off death. themselves as masters of life and dispensers of death in violent video games or watching horror films. Others defy death by taking daredevil risks, driving recklessly, bingeing or engaging in extreme sports. Their conclusion: “See, I’m invulnerable!” Ordinarily, death anxiety subsides as we concentrate on pursuing a career and beginning a family. Then midlife occurs. The kids leave home, retirement looms and death anxiety returns. From then

on, concerns about death are never completely gone from our minds – though we try so desperately to ignore them. Awareness of our mortality is not necessarily the same as the fear of mortality. The difference depends on our neuroses as well as our spiritual and psychological health. An authentic religious faith plays an ever-increasing role in our dealings with death as it has for people throughout the centuries. It’s understandable that today, as our faith diminishes, we have an almost obsessive concern with lengthening life and staving off death. Yet, as Dr. James Hollis writes in “What Matters Most,” “All of our instrumentalities, our wondrous medical armamentaria, only extend our stay a few years at best. …We are living longer and longer as a species, but in service

to what?” How is it that a person might achieve what he or she wants in life and still feel miserable? Are our lives four times more happy and meaningful that the much shorter lives of those who lived in ancient Greece; or two times more happy than those who lived just a century ago? Will those who live longer in this present century live better lives, and how do we define “better” – just by living longer? Gold and diamonds are precious because of their limitedness. Each of our days and years are precious because they are limited. A hiding from the reality of death is a denial of one’s basic nature. The integration of the idea of death, rather than sentence us to a bleak pessimism, can act as a catalyst to plunge us into more authentic ways of living. We will

prize depth over abundance; wisFather Lou dom over Guntzelman knowledge; humility over Perspectives arrogance; growth over comfort; meaning over shallowness; a solid spirituality over materialism. We will come to know that above all else, it is love that gives our lives meaning and liberates us from fear of our mortality. Love can give meaning to an entire lifetime. Love goes on forever.

‘Income’ eats away at Social Security disability checks 2002, and didn’t get approved u n t i l 2007. “It took me 5 1/2 years to e t Howard Ain gapproval, Hey Howard! j u m p i n g through their hoops to do whatever they wanted me to do. I had been denied twice,” she said. When Hurst finally got approved, she learned Social Security would give her benefits going back five years. “I found out you’ll

receive back pay in a few increments the first year, but they won’t give you the rest for another year,” she said. What happened next was the biggest surprise for Hurst, who has been living with her boyfriend, Cecil, for many years. “They said that food and shelter in someone else’s house is considered an income – so they took the difference of that,” she said. Hurst counted up all the money the Social Security Administration took out for food and shelter each month from 2002 to 2008, and it came to more than

$13,000. This is money neither she nor Cecil will receive. Hurst said, “I asked, ‘Well, if you’re going to take the money from me, why don’t you give it to Cecil who has been taking care of me all these years?’ She said, ‘Well, he should have been keeping receipts.’ I wasn’t told about that.” Hurst said she’s learned a valuable lesson. “I had the wrong attorney. I should have worked with a disability attorney who knew the ups and downs,” she said. So, if you’re thinking about applying for such benefits you should first

know it can take months, even years, to get approved – and you may have to go through several appeals. You certainly should hire an attorney who focuses on this type of law. To avoid losing back pay for food and shelter, write out a loan agreement with the

people with whom you’re living. State in the agreement should benefits be awarded you will repay them for their expenses – and state an estimate of that value. Troubleshooter Howard Ain answers consumer complaints and questionson WKRC-TV Local 12.

The recession is expected to add more people to the Social Security rolls – so many, in fact, that the government said it will pay out more benefits than it will collect in taxes the next two years. It seems a lot of people who had been working despite their disabilities are now applying for Social Security Disability benefits after losing their jobs. If you find yourself in this situation, you have to be very careful to avoid losing benefits unnecessarily. Cynthia Hurst of Blanchester applied for Social Security disability back in

Co-workers beg him for this apple cake

Talk about a busy couple of weeks. Just check out my “Out & About” info below. I really love connecting with my family of P r e s s readers like this. A n d you know Rita what the Heikenfeld c o m m o n Rita’s kitchen thread is that runs through every presentation/class I teach? It’s not just about the food, but who shares it with you, and the most important things in life aren’t “things.” That philosophy is represented well in our first recipe.

Aunt Ruth’s apple cake

Carolina is one of the best cooks I have ever known. In her 80s she lives alone, is active in her church and sings with a group that visits nursing homes. “Going to her house was, and is, like going to the best bed and breakfast. This cake recipe is to die for. She makes it for my cousin Randy to take to work. His co-workers always want to know when he is bringing it again.” By the way, when a recipe says to “cream” you want to beat it really well and it will start to look a bit creamy. This cake reminds me of one my sister, Judy Nader, an Eastern Hills Journal reader, used to make for our Mom during apple season. Everyone looked forward to it!

Cream together:

You have to try this. From friend and awesome singer Linda Dollenmeyer. Here’s her story: “My Aunt Ruth in North

1 cup vegetable (Canola, etc.) 2 cups sugar

Add:

2 eggs, beaten 3 cups chopped fresh apples 1 cup chopped nuts 2 teaspoons vanilla.

Sift together:

3 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt

Add to creamed mixture. Bake in sprayed 9-by-13 pan in 350-degree oven for 45 minutes.

Icing – Yum!! Cream together:

1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup evaporated milk 1 cup brown sugar

Melt on low heat and bring to a boil.

Add: oil

2 cups confectioner’s sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla Pour onto cake while cake is still warm.

Preserving herbs the ‘green’ way

I’ve had a few requests for how to dry herbs the old-fashioned way, now touted as being the “green” way. Here’s how I do it: Except for lavender (the flower buds contain the most flavor and fragrance), I like to use the leafy portion of the herbs – the flavor of herbs is best right when the plant is beginning to form buds, but most of the time, I harvest whenever I can. Sometimes it’s at this stage, other times the herbs are in full flower. And remember, the flowers of culinary herbs are edible, so if you want to dry them, that’s OK.

Traditional bunching of whole plant:

Most herbs dry nicely by these traditional methods. Strip an inch or so from the bottom of the stem and hang upside down secured with a rubber band or string away from heat, light and moisture (or hang upside

down in paper bag). You can also place the leaves in single layers in a basket, on a cloth or screen. When they crinkle between your fingers, they’re dry. Strip leaves from stems and leave whole if possible. Volatile oils stay intact until you crush them for cooking. Store away from heat and light. To use dry herbs in place of fresh, use l/3 of the amount called for, since dry herbs are stronger.

Tips from Rita’s garden

Herbs hung in bunches, dried naturally usually turn a grayish green. To keep a brighter color, you can chop up the herbs coarsely, lay them on screens or a towel, and let them dry. They will dry faster and retain a nicer color.

its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
