BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Candidates weigh in on economic development By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

As Wyoming residents head to the polls Nov. 5, they will vote for seven of the eight candidates for city council. Incumbents Lynn Crider, Al Delgado, Pamela Kamm, Jenni McCauley, Jim O’Reilly, Barry Porter and Vicky Zwissler will be challenged by Jennifer Eismeier. The candidates were asked to weigh in on the challenge of economic development in Wyoming, with responses not to exceed 150 words: Economic development, specifically occupied storefronts and businesses, has been a challenge in Wyoming. To what do you attribute this ongoing challenge, what do you propose as a solution or approach, and how do you think this can be accomplished?

Lynn Crider

“Perhaps the best way to approach this question is from a broader perspective. Wyoming’s challenges around economic development aren’t unique. In fact, many local communities are striving to improve their ‘shop local’ environment. Despite the issues we may face, Wyoming has taken several positive Crider steps forward in our development efforts. For example, demand for professional office space has proven to be a niche for our community – several previously vacant buildings along Springfield Pike are now filled with professional services companies. In the business district, both 400 and 500 Wyoming Avenue are full and Wyoming Farmer’s Market continues to be a draw. I see these positive results as building blocks for the city to leverage in its future strategic planning. Furthermore, I support the extension of the bike trail to our downtown and enhancing the Village Green Park for additional programming that will increase traffic to our business district.”

Al Delgado

“Until November 2012 I was a member of Wyoming Community Improvement Corporation. During that time we worked very hard along with members of Economic Development Commission to occupy the storefronts and businesses in Wyoming. At that time we surveyed the community of Wyo-

ming, we reviewed the Master Plan and invited successful businesses to come to Wyoming. “I do think the conscious efforts Delgado of the committees, along with the hard work of the city administration and the city council we were successful, in spite of the recession, bringing diligent entrepreneurs such as, Dale Hipsley of Half Day Café, Dino Distasi of Gabby’s and Distasi, Zack Green of FoxFire, The Art Resource Team, Law Office of Thomas Melott and Dr. Emily Shull to the already successful businesses. In the future we need to continue surveying the needs of the changing Wyoming community, networking with area communities, and inviting businesses to come see Wyoming. Once they come to Wyoming they will fall in love with the community and it business opportunities.”

Jennifer Eismeier

“Wyoming has many thriving businesses that serve the community well and we have capacity for similar investment by more business owners. Wyoming’s smalltown neighborhood feel makes us a perfect locale for businesses that want tight-knit comEismeier munity support and appeal to shoppers and customers who appreciate the same. It is also imperative that Wyoming businesses serve a broad market that extends beyond Wyoming’s borders and offer a range of

high quality services or products. With no dedicated economic development director, the work of pitching Wyoming as an outstanding place to do business must be part of everyone’s job among city staff and council. This means understanding current vacancy in retail and commercial space, engagement with residents and other city business owners to understand community needs, and consistent attention to identifying opportunities to attract both new and existing businesses to Wyoming.”

Pamela Kamm

“The economic climate of the past few years has created challenges for all businesses, not just those located in Wyoming. Our city administration, under council’s direction, has worked diligently to locate and move businesses to our city. We have the CIC (Community Improvement Corporation) in place to ease the bureaucratic Kamm process of bringing business here and making it more efficient. We brought in HCDC to provide interested business owners with mentoring and training at no cost to the owner. Currently, downtown is thriving with 500 Wyoming Ave., in the heart of our business district, at 100 percent occupancy! It is leased with a mix of retail, services and office space. DeStasi’s recently opened their new restaurant and banquet center at 400 Wyoming Ave. We will continue to work with our existing businesses to help them as we can and seek new businesses that are in the best interest of our residents.”

Jenni McCauley

“Filling all storefronts/buildings is challenging. We forget that Hyde Park, Madeira, Anderson, etc... have vacancies too. All want every commercial /office space filled but few are able to achieve that dream. Most retail and restaurants choose location based on McCauley two factors –1, location at an expressway exit; 2, large area of similar demographics? Again, few have that. What Wyoming can do (and has) is recognize that small business is our back-

bone. In fact, Wyoming has over 70 small businesses within our boundaries that are succeeding. Many are thriving. Our best approach is to get out of their way and listen for opportunities to help them improve their bottom line. Other tactics to help small businesses include using public-private partnerships where it improves both, encouraging the growth of existing businesses, stabilizing deteriorating properties, publicizing business news, vacancies, sales and creating a directory of all Wyoming businesses.”

Jim O’Reilly

“Quality of our residential lifestyle attracts and retains families in Wyoming. The goal for our economic develop-

ment will be to serve families’ needs. Like all other small businesses, the store owner who O'Reilly serves the customer best will have a long and positive relationship with Wyoming residents. All of us know that these are challenging times for businesses, but we are all pleased when a location flourishes with the right mix of products, attractive setting and services. From my years as a committee chair in the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, as a retired P&G worker, and more recently as an active small business investor with Queen City Angels, I will continue to support and encourage the success of our business core.”

Barry Porter

“The question of why a number of the Wyoming storefronts have had trouble maintaining businesses is not new. In most cases a new business to the area or a startup is attempting to enter the Wyoming business community. Success can be difficult if their business model has not accurately read the market or provided sufficient working Porter capital necessary to establish a foothold. In some cases there is no business model, but a dream. The solution is for the city to help businesses be successful by attracting customers, or providing business advisers and expertise, or commissioning market studies, or a combination of the three. The city has limited financial resources, but has ac-

cesses to a number of experienced business professionals and advisors. It can sell Wyoming to the region. The city can provide a small town ambiance to attract people to the business district through its parks, street scape and parking.”

Vicky Zwissler

Only three council members were part of the committee (CIC) which negotiated and finalized the contract, risking $750,000.00 tax dollars. Unfortunately, the property just had a lien filed on

it for non-payment of $146,000.000 in additional contractor work successfully completed last December. Should the development not succeed, the city can take back the property but will likely pay creditors to clear the title. An economic development program will build the entire business community instead of taking isolated risks.”

Sharonville students learn in diversity embraced by King By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

The 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech became a lunchtime lesson at an elementary school of notable diversity. Learning side by side with those who are different is an everyday activity for the students at Sharonville Elementary. “Reflecting on the profound impact of this speech has caused us to take a closer look at the diversity we have at Sharonville,” Principal Jesse Kohls said of the 28 languages to which his students are exposed in their learning environment. “What an amazing opportunity for our students and families to learn from each other and grow together as a community,” he said. Students listened to portions of King’s speech, depending on their grade level. “We discussed what it means us in our school today,” Kohls said. “We also had a ‘mix-it-up’ day at lunch,” he said. “We had our students sit with children they usually do not sit with to help ensure we are all getting to know each other.” A group of students shared their thoughts on King and on diversity in general. “Dr. Martin Luther King would have been happy if he was alive,” Darwin Mapp said. “The Dream speech was one of the most important speeches,” Hailey Goldberg said. “It really touched my heart.” “People should try to understand each other,” Grant Smith said. Da’nely Castaneda said he was sad after he listened to the speech. “I didn’t like people treated unfairly.” “Everyone is our friend,” Gabrielle Shaw said. “People should be treated nicely.” Michael Maley and Louis Farrar agreed. “Dr. King was right,” Michael said. “Everyone should be equal.” “Everyone should be treated

right,” Louis said. “Everyone can sit anywhere on the bus.” “Thanks to the efforts of people like Dr. King, our diversity is one of our biggest strengths,”

Kohls said. “I am very proud of the way our students and staff embrace our differences and come together to form one big family.”

Princeton High School senior Tyrell Gilbert started playing football as a 5-year-old defensive end. “I was so fast, by the time they snapped the ball I was already back there in the backfield,” Gilbert said. “That was fun.” It didn’t take long for his youth coaches to install Gilbert as a running back and defensive back to take better advantage of his quickness. Now as the Vikings quarterback, he’s become the guy he used to harry as a youth. Gilbert led the Greater Miami Conference in passing yards with 1,027 through the first six games. He was fourth in the league in rushing with 733. He’s thrown for eight touchdowns and run for 12 more, personally accounting for120 of the Vikings’ 176 points. He was 28-for-45 passing with three touchdowns while running for 134 yards and two scores on 19 carries in a 56-38 Oct. 4 loss to Colerain, which impressed Cardinals coach Tom Bolden. “He’s special,” Bolden said. “It was like watching Spencer Ware (the former Vikings and LSU star now in his rookie season with the Seattle Seahawks) all over again.” Princeton head coach Gary Croley said Tyrell is a special kid. “He’s gifted and he understands his gift. He’s a kid that keeps working each week,” he said. Yet Gilbert likes playing on the other side of the ball. “At this level, right now, I prefer defense,’ Gilbert said. “There are better opportunities.” Among them, a free college education.

son. “I wanted to focus on my high school team and my senior season,” he said of committing early. “I was originally going to commit during my senior year, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to enjoy the season and not be distracted.

“(Recruiting) was an enjoyable time, but taking visits now and being away from my team wouldn’t be fair to them.” Gilbert said the time with his teammates is one of his favorite parts of the game. The other is the escape factor. And not from opposing pass rushers, though he said that’s nice, too. “It’s just an outlet for anything that’s going on in my life,” Gilbert said. “If I’m stressed or if I’m having a bad day, I know that two hours of practice is in front of me. I can turn myself to football and that’s something that cheers me up. “Everything we had in mind at the beginning of the season is still in front of us,” Gilbert said. “We just have to finish. The Colerain game let us know what we’re capable of doing. We can play with anyone. We can still make the playoffs.” Tom Ramstetter contributed to this story.

WYOMING — Another dominant golf season ended for the Wyoming High School boys team Oct. 3 at Weatherwax Golf Course. With just one loss this fall, the Cowboys went home after shooting a score that would’ve advanced them just a year ago. Dayton Oakwood, the defending Division II champion, moved on along with Fenwick. “We kind of knew going in that Oakwood was going to be hard to overtake,” Crider said. “They had pretty much dominated against teams from our area all year long. We knew it was going to be a dogfight among four other teams for that one other spot.” Oakwood’s four-man score of 292 blew everyone away. Fenwick advanced to state at 316, while Alter at 317 and Wyoming at 322 fell short. “Our goal was to break 320,” Crider said. “In every year that I’ve been head coach, every team that broke 320 at district went to state. We came up a little shy of that.” Of Wyoming’s 322, senior Henry Moore led with a 79. Behind him were junior John Hughes at 80, sophomore Sam Marty at 81 and senior Chris Betagole at 82. Freshman Cooper Hausfeld also made the trip and finished at 88. The Cowboys now say goodbye to seniors Moore, Beta-

gole, Michael Montgomery and Jack Brown. “We’ll return four of the top six,” Crider said. “We’ll definitely have a good core coming back. Our JV team was actually undefeated in the CHL this year. We’re going to make sure we have the competition is there for those remaining spots. Hopefully, we’ll field another competitive team.” Moore, Betagole and Marty were the Cowboys’ top shooters hovering around 39 for nine holes. From there, Hausfeld, junior Stephen Cholvat, Hughes and Montgomery averaged from 42 to 44. The freshman Hausfeld was a welcome addition and Crider often tracks the local talent who walk the fairways. “Because Wyoming’s such a small community, I tend to know a lot of kids coming up that are interested in golf,” Crider said. “They belong at Wyoming Golf Club and I’m a member there. I kind of keep tabs on who’s coming up through the junior programs.” Next season, Hausfeld will be more of a factor and leadership could come from Marty and Hughes. “Sam Marty did a tremendous job this year,” Crider said. “He shaved three or four strokes off his average. He’s in a position to be a leader next year. Johnny Hughes also stepped up and played well at districts. He could step in as well.”

Moeller golf books trip to state Lamping is the lone senior on the squad that includes three juniors and a sophomore. “He’s one that we thought coming back was our three or four man,” Bohne said. “He’s just had an unbelievable season. He’s exceeded our expectations.” Behind Lamping at sectionals were sophomore Jake Fox, followed by juniors Quinn Sullivan, Ben Sattler and Nick Gruber. Going into the district match Oct.10 at Weatherwax, the Crusaders had taken their clubs north to the state tournament in 10 out of 11 years. At the Division I match, Moeller performed as expected and finished with a team score of 294, second to St. Xavier’s 291. Book the Crusaders to Columbus yet again. Quinn Sullivan was the star of this day taking medalist honors with a 69. He’ll be back next year as Bohne only loses Lamping.

tice at the Golf Center at Kings Island, Bohne spoke to his men like Schembechler. He emphasized team. He said this is what all the practice and running and conditioning was for. Then, instead of a leisurely practice round, Moeller’s mashers worked on their short game. They chipped, hit sand wedges and methodically putted. The kids are generally battle-tested. Be it football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis, chess or shooting paper wads into the garbage, expectations are high at Moeller. “They know it’s a twoedged sword,” Bohne said. “You get everybody’s best shot.” At the Cincinnati East sectional at Glenview, Oct. 1, Moeller took everybody’s best shot and won the championship, besting a good Loveland team by 10. They were led by senior Mitch Lamping, who was comedalist with Loveland’s Colin Joseph at 71.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A new voice for a better Princeton

The Princeton Board needs to be more open to concerns from citizens. At the board meeting on April 12, 2012, I was denied the right to speak during the “Recognition of Visitors” part of the meeting. On Jan. 11, 2013, Federal Judge Timothy S. Black of the United States District Court ruled, “Thus, under the undisputed facts, Mr. Teufel’s constitutional rights have been violated as a matter of law.” I believe that the evaluation system of Princeton administrators is flawed. Over the last three years, a principal at the high school received 317 ratings of “Excellent” (highest ranking possible) out of 317 criteria. These evaluations are at odds with the Association for Effective Schools staff survey at Princeton High School. In the Effective Schools staff survey summary, the ratings of all seven areas of the survey, including instructional leadership and safe and orderly environment, were in my opinion, less than impressive in 2012; however the ratings were worse in 2013. I hope that the citizens of the Princeton City School District will consider voting for Mary Cleveland for the Princeton School Board. Please go to www.marycleveland.com to learn more about Mary Cleveland.

Some misunderstood wisdom about fear, love How many of us are embarrassed by the closing of many embassies due to the fear of attacks similar to the sickening response we gave to the Benghazi raid? Are we so impotent that we can not defend legitimate consulates after being warned of imminent attacks? I was immediately caused to reflect on a very misinterpreted book I read some time ago. Some people pass the writing off as that of an uninformed or perhaps crazy philosopher. Serious reflection on his writing has caused me to disagree with his critics. Let’s begin with the examination of a quote. “Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them it is far safer to be feared than loved.” Most will recognize that I am quoting Niccolo Machiavelli. This quote bears serious thought into its meaning. Love and fear are not polar

opposites. How many of us feared our parents when we were doing something of which they disapproved? Edward Levy COMMUNITY PRESS That did not change the GUEST COLUMNIST fact that we loved our parents. The same holds true for some of our teachers, employers or coaches. The fear of someone may actually lead to respect and ultimately to love. Respect is a combination of both. We should agree that someone we respect is a valuable person in our lives. This essay is about the condition of our national respect around the world. Had we re-enforced our embassy in Benghazi it is possible the attack would not have happened. Or, a strong defense may have defeated it. Either way, the fear of our

strong response would likely prevent future embarrassments. Needless to say, our show of weakness in the recent closing of our embassies might lead to attacks by rogue regimes. While the news is that some of the embassies will reopen, it is difficult to expect that our sworn enemies are not carefully planning future embarrassments to our leadership. Leadership is supposed to call for respect. That, being said, we should evaluate the appointed leadership of our country. This requires another quote from Machiavelli. “The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.” While this will seem disrespectful, it is not meant to be hateful. The title of president is to be respected. The appointments a president makes determine his legacy. In the book “Team of Rivals,”

the author, Doris Kearns Goodwin, covers in depth the appointments President Lincoln made to his cabinet. Some were his fiercest political rivals. These differences of opinion led to decisions that created one of the best presidencies of our history. President Obama simply appointed like minded cronies. The results are clear. We have lost international respect, our economy is floundering and recovery of both will be a long-term struggle. Respect will come only when earned. As the huge deficits compound our fiscal problems, recovery will either be a strict austerity or a drastic devaluation of the dollar. Either way, the most sorrowful victims will be the low and middle end folks who can least afford this hardship. Edward Levy is a resident of Montgomery and a former college instructor.

CH@TROOM Oct. 9 question Have your health care plan premiums increased and terms changed significantly for 2014? Why do you think there was or was not a significant change?

“Just as in Iraq under Saddam Hussein you had to be a member of the Bath political party in order to get a good job and/or get benefits. Now here in America – with one political party in control of the nation under the direction of Barack Hussein Obama – for protection, you must be a member of the controlling party‘s political voting base – such as a union, to keep your benefits. Since my benefits are union controlled, my premiums for 2014 have increased – but only at a reasonable level. “If you want affordable health care, best to be a federal government employee or a union member and thereby exempt from the so called Affordable Care Act (ACA) by presidential decree.” T.D.

“Short-term medical insurance rates should not go up right away for those that already had insurance. However the 20 to 25 percent that did not have medical insurance will now being paying for it hopefully with an employer assisting. So their rates obviously go up as will their employers’. Over time watch for the government to start cutting back on Medicare/Medicaid benefits or charging more for them. After all someone has to pay for those 16,000 new IRS employees who will be hired to enforce Obamacare? Go figure!” T.D.T.

“My health care premiums have not changed significantly for 2014 because I’m lucky enough to have coverage on my wife’s plan. However, as President Obama promised, as long ago as 2007, if you like

your present coverage you don’t have to change anything under the Affordable Care Act. This is so simple that it has lobotomized the rightwing racists.” TRog

“After years of double digit rate increases, our insurance is not increasing in 2014 nor are there any major changes in coverage.” D.A.

“Part B of my Medicare (handled by private insurer) went up slightly. However, before Medicare I was on private insurance out of my own pocket. In the last 10 years it managed to increase by 7 to 10 percent per year with no additional benefits, which were very limited. “If I had gotten my cancer and subsequent surgery before Medicare kicked in I would probably be fighting off bankruptcy right now. The lousy insurance for exorbitant price would not have covered half of the huge bills that were incurred. “I just wish that Obamacare (ACA) was available sooner. From what I can tell for the same price I had been laying out for10 years I could have afforded a much more comprehensive policy and slept better at night.” J.Z.

“Yes, my premiums are expected to go up about 7 per-

cent. I think medical costs are out of control in this country. “The one good thing to happen for the American people is the Affordable Health Care Act. As a single mother of two children ages 22 and 20 it is wonderful that they are covered under my plan. I don’t know how anyone can afford to not have insurance in today’s world, so finding ways to help everyone get covered is a step in the right direction. “I know far too many people who have had to go without insurance because it wasn’t offered at their place of employment, so their option often was the ER, which is a significant cost difference from regular medical care by a family physician. It isn’t a perfect solution, but it is progress. “Another big step will be to find ways to bring hospital costs back to a reasonable level. I think it is coming and is absolutely necessary. When you compare what Americans pay for certain procedures to similar quality in other countries it is an abomination. D.P.

“Health insurance is probably only going to be affected by all the normal things that affect health insurance premiums, like the fact that health care costs are rising. “I am lucky to have health care through my employer and yes my costs have gone up, not because of Obamacare. Health care costs have risen every year for the last six years, though they’re not rising as fast now as they were several years ago, they’re still going up 4 percent or more a year. “So, generally speaking, for everybody, health insurance premiums are going to continue to rise. For people buying coverage through the exchanges – or as they’re officially called, the marketplaces – the premiums are going to be different from premiums available on plans previously,

because the plans are different. “New plans are coming into the market. They have new requirements on them about what they have to cover. “We now know that no preexisting condition restrictions are going to be held against anybody. That’s going to affect the price. “And we also know that things like no more annual limits on what health care insurance payouts can be have come into effect, no lifetime limits. “So, in essence, the coverage is different from what was available previously for people buying coverage in the individual market. “And the prices are going to vary exchange by exchange, depending on how many insurers bid to participate in the program and how heavy a bargain states drove with the health insurers who are coming into the marketplace. “So you’re seeing a lot of variation in rates around the country. That said, it’s also fair to say though that, in general, the rates are lower than many people expected they would be.” K.F.S.

Oct. 2 question The House 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 certainly would not feel as safe as if the Delta Queen had met federal standards. I have mixed thoughts about those who do choose to stay on the boat overnight. They have the right to take an informed risk, but I wonder what they would consider to be the government’s responsibility in the unfortunate event that something terrible did happen.”

Photos from several artists are on display in an exhibit that views photography through the lens of the artist’s creativity. Photo-Secession 21 is defined by the vision of the artist or photographer, not the replication of an object through a camera lens. Artists used editing and photo manipulation to create images that tell a story or elicit emotion. The exhibit in the Main Street Gallery of Maple Knoll Village, 11100 Springfield Pike, is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. until Nov. 13. Photographers and artists include Tom Croce, Robert Coomer, Robert Rohrbaugh, Matt Zory, Nancy Germer and Liz Noffsinger. Maple Knoll held an opening reception Sept. 20, at which artists chatted with residents and visitors about their work. “This is my third exhibit at Maple Knoll Village and I have always enjoyed them,” artist Noffsinger said. “People here seem to enjoy all forms of artwork-photography, oil, painting, and so on- it is refreshing.” “The art shows are a wonderful way for the community to enjoy the art and to see the beauty of Maple Knoll,” resident Carol Frye said.

OCTOBER 16, 2013 • TRI-COUNTY PRESS • B3

Pea salad just like one from Hotel Sinton Today we started our first fire in the wood stove for the season. But it was a little weird, too, because when I looked out the window, the impatiens were a riot of color in the window boxes and the morning glories looked like a Rita burst of blue Heikenfeld sky climbing up RITA’S KITCHEN the white picket fence. The weather had turned quite chilly and it really was a perfect morning to have a nice, aromatic fire. If you ask most folks, they will tell you fall is their favorite time of year. I guess it’s because the outside work is winding down and so are we. And there’s nothing quite so beautiful as a mosaic of reds, browns and yellows as the leaves carpet our old country road.

Hotel Sinton’s spring pea salad

I was glad to get so many responses to Jan B.’s request for the Hotel Sinton pea salad. As always, thanks, thanks, thanks! The recipe from Juliane B., a Colerain township reader, was exactly like the one originally published by Cheri Brinkman in her first book of the best-selling series: “Cincinnati and Soup.” Now that I’ve seen the recipe, I know I’ve eaten it and liked the salad a lot. Juliane said she’s made it several times and people love it. Cheri told me: “This is a rare one as it is a salad dressing, not a true pea salad. It came from an older lady I knew who actually learned to cook in the kitchen of the old Hotel Sinton. What is interesting in this is the amount of mayonnaise

Rita’s reader- submitted recipe for a pea salad is just like the salad from the old Hotel Sinton. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

in the salad; this may be lessened by the cook if they choose. The most important thing to stress here is that it should be served by tablespoon over chopped lettuce not as a solo salad – that was not what they did in “the good old days.” Best made ahead. FYI Cheri just published her latest, and best-selling, book “Cincinnati and Soup: Festivals and Frolics.” 2 (16 oz.) bags frozen green peas 6 green onions, chopped 2 stalks of celery chopped fine 3 cups mayonnaise (more or less) 4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

Mix peas, onions and celery. Mix in 2 cups mayonnaise. Put in a 9-inch by 13-inch dish and top with 1 cup mayonnaise. Garnish with the hardboiled eggs. Serve. May be served over chopped lettuce.

Easy caramel apples

The hardest part of this recipe is opening all the caramels. I dipped the apples only halfway up and then rolled them into finely chopped salt-

ed nuts. 1 (14 oz.) bag vanilla caramels, unwrapped 2 tablespoons water or whipping cream Apples (I had small ones from our tree so had enough caramel coating for 10.) Sucker sticks or wooden craft sticks Toppings: chopped nuts, cookies, mini M&M’s, crushed pretzels, etc.

Remove stem and wash and dry apples. Insert sticks. Set aside. Melt caramels with water over low heat. Dip apples in halfway or all the way if you want (you’ll get a smaller yield). Immediately roll bottoms in your choice of toppings. Set on sprayed pan to dry.

Can you help?

Manyet Bakery’s cheesecake: I don’t want to disappoint Pat Barth, who asked again if any of you have the recipe or a similar one from this beloved Newport Bakery. This is the bakery that made

the famous radio rolls and for which I found a similar recipe that I still promise to post on my blog. Frisch’s ranch dressing: I’ve had a couple requests for this, so if you have a similar recipe, please share.

Stay tuned!

C-Changers telling Cincinnati’s story In a campaign titled “Make Cincy Yours,” CChange participants are getting the word out about the Queen City through a promotional video that debuted at TEDxCincinnati Oct. 3 at Memorial Hall. The video will also be featured at a C-Change class project event called Imagine Cincy Nov. 8 at The Center. Aimed at promoting Cincinnati features, lifestyles, and opportunities, the video includes footage of iconic locations as well as Cincinnati’s hidden gems. It is both an attraction piece and a retention tool meant to energize residents about the city. “Cincinnatians are too modest; it’s time we start promoting ourselves and the great amenities this city has to offer,” said Andy Kennedy, C-Change class participant. The class film and social

media efforts are aimed at doing just that. Inspired by local iconography of flying pigs and the intimation that anything can happen in Cincinnati, the group also launched a Facebook page and Twitter account using that imagery. The video will also be shown at “Imagine Cincy,” another C-Change class project, Friday, Nov. 8, at The Center. Imagine Cincy is a first-of-its-kind event that will celebrate Cincinnati’s future by highlighting the exciting developments and innovations that are making Cincinnati a great place for young professionals to live, work, and play. Imagine Cincy will also showcase live music as well as food and drinks from Cincinnati’s future top chefs. For more information, please visit the Imagine Cincy Facebook page.

Community partners strive to reduce falls

Jean Shirley of Bridgetown, Jo Graulty of Montgomery and Ruth Meyer of Delhi Township are three older adults in the Tristate region who have much in common with each other and other older Tristate residents. They stay active in their daily lives, they try to exercise regularly and they follow

their doctors’ orders to maintain a healthy active lifestyle. They each have also experienced a fall. “My first fall occurred when I lost my balance playing volleyball a while back, and my second fall was after cataract surgery when I was walking and fell off the edge of a

sidewalk,” Shirley said. “I didn’t have any major injuries, but I had sore muscles afterward.” Meyer’s falls were a bit more severe. Her first fall occurred when she tripped over her feet while hurrying to the bus stop, which resulted in a broken hip and forced Meyer to have surgery and medical rehab. Two years ago, Meyer fell again, this time by tripping while walking out of the bathroom. “I broke my pelvis in two places when I fell in the bathroom,” Meyer said. Falls by older adults out in the community and in their homes is part of an alarming trend in the Tristate region. Fall-related injuries can occur to people of any age, but for older adults decreased physical motor skills and simple environmental hazards in homes can contribute to the risk of experiencing a fall. These trends are why a number of hospitals, trauma centers, community organizations and public service providers have rallied together with the Greater Cincinnati Health Council

to highlight Fall Prevention Awareness Week during the week of September 22. Dr. Bryce Robinson is the assistant trauma medical director at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and sees firsthand the severity of falls. “When people think of traumatic injury, they often think of car crashes or gunshot wounds,” Robinson said. “But in terms of sheer volume of injuries, falls make up the number one mechanism of injury seen at our medical center and in our region, our state and our nation.” The Tristate Trauma Registry tracks falls across the Tristate region and 2012 data shows that 48 percent of all trauma related injuries were caused by a fall. Among all fall-related injuries, 53 percent of falls were experienced by persons age 65 and older. Often first responders from local fire departments and emergency medical service personnel are the first rescue folks on the scene when a person suffers a fall. Tom Dietz, district chief of EMS at the Green Township Fire & EMS Department, estimates that his township goes on 30 “lift assist” runs per month, an average of one per day. A lift assist occurs when a person falls in the community and needs medical help from first responders to get back on their feet. “Our most frequent lift assist calls are people falling in their homes, particularly falling out of chairs and falling out of bed,” Dietz said. Data from the Tristate Trauma Registry shows that 66 percent of all falls occur within the home. Some medications may have side effects that can slightly impair physical abilities in older adults. Other older adults may have vision issues due to poor lighting in their home, items on the floor or other environmental factors in their homes that can contribute to a fall. Dietz and his team

make an effort to view the living conditions some older adults who have fallen live in, and they see similar types of environmental hazards in homes. “Many of these falls in the home are due from trip hazards or slip hazards,” Dietz said. “They may have a few extra items out on the floor in the house, or they might have a favorite rug in the living room that caused them to slip and fall.” For some older adults, falls can result in serious injuries and a risk of death. The Tristate Trauma Registry said that 3 percent of all falls in 2012 were fatal, and a majority of falls occur from a standing height. “A simple fall from standing height can be an absolutely devastating injury that could lead to death in this very fragile population,” Robinson said. Dietz sees similar patterns. “We have responded to calls where patients have fallen down their steps,” he said. “Some older adults will be carrying laundry up and down steps, and they will fall down an entire flight of stairs.” Severe fall victims will oftentimes be transported to one of four Tristate trauma centers in the region, which are hospitals specially equipped to provide comprehensive emergency medical services to patients suffering traumatic injuries. These hospitals include UC Health – University of Cincinnati Medical Center, which is the region’s only level I trauma center, and three level III trauma centers located at TriHealth’s Bethesda North Hospital, Atrium Medical Center and UC Health – West Chester Hospital. “If an elderly person has a significant fall, our paramedics here in Green Township will take them to University of Cincinnati Medical Center,” Dietz said. “Patients may want to be transported to a closer community hospital, but severe fall pa-

tients need to be transported to a trauma center for the most appropriate level of care.” Other community organizations offer home modification programs. One such program is Whole Home, which is a unique home modification service of People Working Cooperatively. Whole Home offers oneon-one education, in home assessments and community collaboration, all of which is part of their three-tiered approach to reduce the number of falls in older adults. They can provide modification and improvements to homes by installing items such as motion-activated lights, grab bars in bathrooms and handrails on all stairways. “Throughout the year, we plan on providing fall prevention education to 50 senior centers, community centers and other gatherings,” said Ron Henlein, director of corporate and community partnerships at People Working Cooperatively. “We are a community organization available to provide home assessments for older adults, and we can provide home modifications where needed to help our aging population reduce the risk of falling.” For Jean Shirley, Jo Graulty and Ruth Meyer, a variety of fall prevention tools are now in place. Graulty fell out of her bed several years ago while sleeping but has since installed bed rails to prevent future falls out of bed. She has noted that the facility she lives in has grab bars in her restroom and handrails in hallways to help prevent falling, and she has learned that staying active in Pilates helps improve her balance. Shirley has added night lights, grab bars and rails on her stairways, and Meyer has fitted her bathroom with an extra grab bar and a secure bath mat. Both also strive to exercise and stay active to help maintain balance and prevent falling again.

"Fresh Cuts" by John Wolfer, is one of the food-themed pieces on display in the Food for Thought exhibit at UC Blue Ash College. PROVIDED

UC Blue Ash hosts an appetizing art exhibit It could be the perfect appetizer for art lovers, or anyone who enjoys food. The University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College is hosting the foodthemed art exhibit, Food for Thought, throughout October as part of the college’s Arts & Humanities month celebrations. The exhibit features paintings, sculptures and multi-media displays that highlight all types of food, from meats to cheeses to fruit. It includes the works of local and national food artists, such as Mike Geno, who is based in Philadelphia. “This show puts the spotlight on a theme that you don’t see very often in the world of art, but it is growing in popularity,” said professor John Wolfer, who is Chair of the Art & Visual Communication

Department at UC Blue Ash and coordinator of the Food for Thought exhibit. “The images and attention to detail are beautiful; I hope this type of art continues to get more exposure.” Wolfer’s interest in food-themed art began when he was a teenager working in his father’s butcher shop on the West Side. His first painting on the subject was a big porterhouse steak, complete with the marbling and different shades of color, “It was more interesting than the other things I was painting.” Wolfer has presented his work, and earned awards, at art exhibits across the U.S. Food for Thought is on display in the Annex Gallery on the UC Blue Ash

Campus from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. every Thursday through Saturday in October. The Annex is former Blue Ash Schoolhouse, located at the corner of Plainfield and Cooper roads in Blue Ash, across the road from the main portion of the college campus. Arts & Humanities month at UC Blue Ash features a wide range of events that include poetry readings, book signings by recently published professors, and a Community Conversations presentation by Barry Estabrook, author of “Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit.” His presentation takes place at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30, on the UC Blue Ash campus.
