Gift of life: Given, received
By Kelly McBride
kmcbride@communitypress.com
Two Princeton families have experienced the gift of life in the past two years, one as a donor and the other as a recipient. Jovante Woods died in August after an asthma attack. His parents, Ickey Woods and Chandra Baldwin, made a difficult decision that saved the lives of several people. They donated his organs. According to LifeCenter Organ Donor Network, several patients have received organs. Baldwin received a thank-you letter from LifeCenter, describing the recipients: • A toddler, 8 months old, received his liver because she has a disease that caused tumors in her own liver. She enjoys listening to music, LifeCenter told Baldwin in the letter. • A 6-year-old boy received his right kidney because he had a condition that caused abnormalities in his own kidney. He likes to play with trains, the

Jeff Ross was the recipient of five organs, which helped keep him alive for almost a year and a half. letter said. • Jovante’s left kidney and pancreas went to a man, 48, who has been battling diabetes since he was 12 years old. He is a social worker. • His heart was transplanted into a male recipient in Michigan, but the center had no further information on that patient. The Woodses also donated their son’s corneas to the Cincinnati Eye Bank. His right lung will aid medical research, and bone and tissue will also be used to help others. Baldwin said these donations mean her son is not truly gone.
“Facing reality really helped. Once he had passed, that body was no longer him, but it took me a minute to realize that. I miss my son in my life. But I’m Woods proud to know parts of him are walking around and living. They are alive because of him.”
Chandra Baldwin Mother of Jovante Woods
“Facing reality really helped,” she said of Jovante’s death. “Once he had passed, that body was no longer him, but it took me a minute to realize that. “I miss my son in my life,” she said, “But I’m proud to know parts of him are walking around and living. “They are alive because of him.”
Another Princeton student had a chance at life because of similar donations. Jeff Ross received a five-organ transplant in 2008 because he suffered from familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), in which the patient suffers from aggressive tumors. His father and grandfather had died from the disease. After he received the organs, he lived another year and four months. He died in December 2008. Bobbie Ross said the transplant gave her the gift of time with her son, “thanks to someone else who donated their organs.” “It’s a beautiful thing,” she said. “Someone else’s child was still living through my son.” Would Ross and Baldwin encourage others to donate organs? Absolutely, they said. “I am so proud that Jovante did what he did,” Baldwin said. “I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”
White Castle expanding its plant By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com
Tax breaks are keeping another business in Evendale. White Castle System Inc. on Exon Drive was approved for a 75 percent tax abatement for 10 years by Evendale village council that will help the company expand. Plant manager of the Evendale bakery, Jarrett Cook, said at the Oct. 14 council meeting that he is planning a 16,000 square foot addition that will add more space for freezers, docks, shipping and packaging. The expansion will cost about $20 million and also includes new equipment that will increase production output. The company produces buns for the restaurants and frozen buns for retail sales. Cook said the company, which has been in Evendale for 46 years, employs 48 full-time and two part-time employees. He said White Castle Systems does not have specific plans to add more jobs, but the company does have a “committment to retain” employees at the Evendale site.

Taking advantage of tax breaks “We’ve got some good things going on,” said Jack Cameron, Evendale assistant to the mayor. Gold Medal Products on Medallion Drive was approved in September for a 75 percent tax abatement over eight years as part of the enterprise zone in Evendale. The company owners are investing $1.7 million in a 13,000 to 14,000 square foot addition that will cover two floors on the northwest corner of the building. Fifteen to 20 new jobs are planned with the expansion to add to the 300 current jobs. Kinetic Vision, under construction in Evendale Commons, was approved in July for 75 percent tax abatement over six years. The company is moving from Blue Ash to Evendale to a much larger building. They have 23 full-time and seven to 10 parttime employees. The plan is to add two to three full-time and one to two part-time employees each year. White Castle System is just the latest in a line of businesses that have been approved for tax abate-
ments for expansion in the village. “We’ve got some good things going on (in Evendale),” said Jack

Within the consortium, the city will benefit from a $10,000 grant, as well as a $6,000 grant to help pay the $30,000 expense incurred by the four communities. It cost each municipality $1,500 to join the consortium. Springdale fees currently total $8.45 a month for solid waste disposal and $2.40 for recycling services. Under the agreement, residents will pay $9.50 a month for solid waste disposal, and 75 cents for recycling services. City Administrator Derrick Parham said his office
estimated annual savings to the city will be $33,000 per year. Among other services, Rumpke will provide: • unlimited solid waste collection; • curbside recycling on a subscription basis, and • large trash bins at various city locations.

Twins honored for helping missing child
Glendale levy, won’t up cost

A little girl is home safely thanks to two Springdale residents. Those residents are 8year-old. Harmonie and Hezekiah Bonsu were walking near their home in August when then stumbled upon a 4year old girl who was crying. “She said she lost her big sister,” Hezekiah said. “We asked here where do you live, and she said, ‘I don’t know, in a house.’” “I found her, and I held her hand,” Harmonie said. “So we took her to our mom,” Hezekiah said, “and she called police.” Their mom, Natisha Bonner, said Springdale police told her that the girl’s family had been looking for the pre-schooler, who had wan-

dered away. She had a bus tag from Heritage Hill Elementary with her first name and the name of her older sister, and police used that information to identify her and get her home to her family.
To thank Hezekiah and Harmonie, the police department presented the Heritage Hill Elementary students with the Citizen Coin, the highest honor given to citizens of Springdale.
The department developed Citizen Coin to recognize members of the community who step up and do the right thing, according to the department. On one side of the coin is a Springdale police badge, surrounded by its four core values of Integrity, Commitment, Professionalism and Cooperation. On the other side is the phrase, “There is never a wrong time to do the right thing” surrounded by the department’s motto of Excellence in Law Enforcement. Sgt. Dale Morris and Officer Erik Langevin visited the children recently to present the coins. “It was very rewarding to see the smiles that these coins brought to Harmonie and Hezekiah,” Morris said. Springdale Police Chief Michael Laage said the sib-
lings were an example for others to follow. “These two young kids knew what the right thing to do was, and they went home and did it,” Laage said. “A lot of adults could take example of the actions of these to young kids.” Parents Natisha and Edward Bonner were just as proud of the twins. “These kids are smart,” Edward Bonner said. “And they did a smart thing.” “I was very proud of my children,” Natisha Bonner said. “To see how they reacted immediately, and they didn’t leave her. “They brought her somewhere safe.” Hezekiah was reflective of that day in August: “If we hadn’t helped her, she would have wandered off.” “It had a happy ending,” Natisha Bonner said. “That’s what I care about.”
Glendale, who maintain the three islands in the square, were recognized by the Cincinnati Horticultural Society with an Amateur Gardeners’ Award. This document is on dis-

As Glendaleresidents take time to vote Nov. 1, they will be asked to replace one of two operating levies that function in unison. The 8.5-mill levy will expire Dec. 31. Residents won’t incur any additional costs under the ballot issue, according to Mayor Joseph Hubbard and Village Administrator Walter Cordes. The levy covers everything except utilities, Cordes explained, including: police, parks, public works, sidewalks and streets. Combined, the levies total 17 mills, but the village traditionally has split it into two issues. Every two years residents vote on one of the four-year levies. “This represents about half of the income to the village,” Hubbard said of the levies, which reflect no increase from the two that will expire at the end of the year. Village council opted to keep the levy consistent, even though Glendale is facing a tight budget.

Wyoming and Sharonville are looking for outstanding citizens for award programs that honor their hard work. Sharonville has revitalized its Society of Honored Sharonville Citizens, originated in 1981. “The purpose was and is to honor those who have provided significant accomplishments to the former Village, and now city of Sharonville,” said Kevin Hardman, president of Sharonville City Council. The original recipients were Robert Lucas, Clyde
Barrow, Myron Luke, Ruth Gorman and the Rev. Oscar Lauber. “Each of these five persons left outstanding impressions on our community, whether in their field of education, as a volunteer, or in their civic responsibilities,” Hardman said. Eight other recipients have been inducted over the years: 1983: Robert Yeager; 1988: Henry Runyan and Roy Smith; 1996: John Dowlin; 2001: Joseph Brockman and Virgil Lovitt; and 2003: Rex Baysore and James Greensfelder. Resolutions honoring the
recipients hang on pillars in the rotunda of the municipal building. “Plaques and their placement there are a permanent testament to the fact that each of these people have served as pillars to our community,” Hardman said. Wyoming has been honoring outstanding citizens since 1986, recognizing those who have had “a profound impact on Wyoming or in the Cincinnati area,” according to the city website. “Sometimes the recipients did something great for the city, or humanity, during the nomination year,” said Mike Eyman, of the

Workers from General Electric got their hands dirty Oct. 5. Fifty employees of the Evendale company helped their neighbors at St. Rita School for the Deaf by helping with landscaping in the school’s Learning Garden. In the Learning Gardens at St. Rita School, each class attends an outdoor classroom at least once a week to do hands-on learning and tend to the gardens. The 33 acres of learning gardens and many trees require daily landscaping and yard work. Students have measured and outlinied around the base of trees on campus using math skills during their Learning Gardens class. GE employees helped complete the project by digging out around the marked trees, laying landscaping paper and mulching. GE workers also provided the tools for the landscaping.

Science lesson adheres to principles of fun
By Kelly McBride
kmcbride@communitypress.com
It was a science lesson in adhesion that stuck in their brains at St. Michael in Sharonville. Sixth-graders in Di McDonald’s science class took their places in the lab, rolls of paper towels nearby. Their teacher held up a jar of water capped only with a screened lid. “What’s going to happen if I tip this over,” McDonald asked her students. Water will pass through the screen, and some will fall out, one student ventured. The water will spill slower because of the screen, another offered. McDonald slid a square of paper on top of the screen and slowly turned over the jar. Then she slipped the paper away from the jar. Water stayed in the jar. None spilled. Why? She wondered aloud. Because of adhesion and cohesion. “There are a whole lot of water molecules hanging out in this jar,” she explained about cohesion. “Water likes to stick to something,” she said, explaining why the water stayed in the jar. Adhesion. McDonald quizzed her students. “Where are they adhering?” “To the screen,” one student answered.

Claudia Garcia drops 44 marbles into a cup of water before it spills over. “Why?” “I’ve equalized the air pressure,” the teacher said. “If I change the air pressure, it’ll all come out.” So she did. The water spilled out into a bucket.
Then it was time to see for themselves. Students visited five lab stations, performing experiments to learn the concepts of adhesion and cohesion. The fun way. “Part of science is following procedure,” McDonald said of the lab work that showed how water molecules stick to each other and to something else. “Water molecules form like a
skin,” McDonald taught the sixthgraders. “But something will change that.” At one station, students dropped water, one droplet at a time, onto a penny, counting how many they could pile on before they spilled onto the table. Kirsten Wiandt counted 20. Then, she counted how many drops of soapy water fit onto the penny before spilling over.
KELLY MCBRIDE/STAFF
She counted 16. Why were there fewer? “Soap breaks the bond between the water molecules,” McDonald explained. It was a lesson that stuck. “It’s more fun because it’s hands-on,” Isabel Baumgartner said. “And it’s more fun,” she said, “because you’re paying better attention.”

Mount Notre Dame sophomore Sandy Niehaus performs at the state championships. Niehaus became the first sophomore to win state since 2006.
Sandy Niehaus was perfect. The Mount Notre Dame High School sophomore posted an unblemished postseason record en route to winning sectional, district and state titles. “I knew she had a real good chance of winning,” MND head coach Judy Dennis said. “I knew there’d be tough matches, but I knew she’d be a contender.” Niehaus defeated Upper Arlington senior and defending state champion Niki Flower at the State Girls Tennis Championships, which were Oct. 22-23 at Stickney Tennis Center in Columbus and Hilliard Davidson. Niehaus lost the first set
6-2 – it was her first dropped set of the postseason – but came back to win the next two sets 6-4. “Sandy has always played very patient against the opposition and bided her time,” Dennis said. “But when you’re going up against the defending state champion, you can’t do that. You have to react and make decisions immediately. She played faster in the last two sets.” Niehaus went 13-0 during the postseason. She is the first sophomore to win state since Dublin Jerome’s Kate Turvy in 2006. Niehaus said before the tournament that she was just happy to be at state but hoped to go all the way – or at least advance to the finals. She did that and more. According to the MND school website, she is the first Cougar to win an individual state title since swimmer Tiffany Clay won the 100 breaststroke in 2001.
“We’re ecstatic,” Dennis said. “We’re so happy for her and so happy for the school.” Niehaus assumed the first singles spot for an MND squad that had gone 39-0 in match play the last two years but had graduated nearly a dozen seniors from last season. “I felt like I had to pick the team up – and I wanted to,” Niehaus said. Niehaus blitzed through the first three matches of the state tournament. She beat Rocky River Magnificat senior Noelle Kaufmann (62, 6-1), Lewis Center Olentangy Orange freshman Anna Sanford (6-0, 6-1) and Hudson senior Alex Bastock (6-1, 6-3) before downing Flowers in the final. “I have to say, Sandy has been so coachable, a great teammate, loyal to the school – just a real neat person,” Dennis said. “For her, it was always about the team.”
Wyoming cruises through CHL By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Wyoming High School football team has been cruising through the Cincinnati Hills League, and the Cowboys look even tougher now with the return of standout quarterback Kyle Seyfried. The Cowboys are 8-1, 60 in the CHL, heading into a week 10 showdown with rival Indian Hill. “Getting Kyle back has helped a lot,” said head coach Bernie Barre. Seyfried’s first significant action since breaking his foot in week 1 was in the 55-20 win over Finneytown Oct. 15. He played a little more than half of the game and threw for 245 yards and three touchdowns. “When he’s throwing the ball, it looks like he never left,” Barre said. “Other than hobbling on the foot a little bit, he picked up right where he left off. His mobility and movement in the pocket is good, but he just isn’t quite ready yet to be in a full sprint.” While the Cowboys are a much more potent offense with one of the best Divi-
ROD APFELBECK/CONTRIBUTOR
Wyoming’s Tony Davis brings down a Taylor ball carrier during the Cowboys’ 4213 win over the Yellow Jackets Oct. 22. Fellow defensive lineman Eric Price closes in on the play. Quarterback Kyle Seyfried was 16 for 25 for 390 yards and five touchdowns in the game including a 70-yarder to Max Kadish and a 99yarder to Jonathan Tighe. sion III quarterbacks in the state under center, backup Robert Gomez played well at the position in Seyfried’s absence. Gomez led the Cowboys to a 5-1 record and threw for 723 yards and nine touchdowns.
“Robert Gomez was a lifesaver,” Barre said. “I don’t know what we would’ve done without him. He stepped in and did a remarkable job. He threw the ball well; he ran the ball well. He managed the
game. He just did a great job for us.” While the Cowboys offense has still managed to put up some high scores, it’s the defense that has led the way. The Cowboys have only allowed one CHL team to score more than 20 points (Mariemont scored 21 in a 37-21 loss on Sept. 24) and has held three teams to one touchdown or less. Barre praised the play of his defense, especially his defensive line. “Tommy Campbell is having an outstanding year,” he said. “Eric Price and Tony Davis get most of the notoriety, and they are great players, but Tommy is playing as well as anybody and is having a great year,” he said. Campbell is fourth in the CHL in tackles and second in the conference in sacks. Barre also praised the play of lineman Michael Newman, linebacker Michael Travers, strong safety Tyler Cornelius, free safety Chris Campbell, and the defensive secondary as a whole. “We’ve had several interceptions returned for touchdowns,” he said. Two
of those have been by defensive back Max Kadish. Barre also said that running back Drew Perry has exceeded his expectations and is another Cowboy having a great season. Perry had 822 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns through the first eight games of the season. Backup Antwoine O’Neal ran for more than 100 yards and had two second-half touchdowns against Finneytown. “Our running game is good, and we relied on it more with Kyle out, but now we’re starting to throw the ball more,” he said. The Cowboys have a big game against Indian Hill Oct. 29 as a win would secure the CHL crown for Wyoming. Even though Indian Hill has suffered a few more losses than usual this season, Barre is expecting a tough game from the Braves. “It’s a big rivalry game, and they aren’t going to the playoffs, so it’s their last game,” he said. “It could make their season to upset us and they will be ready to play. I’m sure it will be a very tough game.”
Duo leads Vikings in coach’s final year By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
The Princeton High School cross country teams entered the postseason after a pair of seventh-place finishes at the Greater Miami Conference Meet Oct. 16 at Voice of America Park. The boys totaled 205 points to finish behind Mason (37), Oak Hills (60) and Lakota West (82), while the girls totaled 187 points to finish behind Mason (43), Sycamore (67) and Lakota West (89). “I thought that’s about the best the girls could do this year,” Princeton head coach Jim Crumpler said. “We had a few nagging injuries that slowed us down this year.”

Princeton High School junior Claudia Saunders, who finished sixth at state last year, hopes for another strong showing at Scioto Downs Nov. 6. Junior Claudia Saunders (18:29.50) paced the Lady Vikings with a runner-up finish to Mason junior Monica Lake (18:19.23) to earn
first-team all-league honors. Saunders, who finished sixth at state last year, hopes for another strong performance at the Cross Country Championships, which are slated for Nov. 6 at Scioto Downs Race Track in Columbus. “We’d like her to improve from last year, but there’s not a lot of room for improvement,” Crumpler joked. Freshman Lindsay Myers, meanwhile, earned secondteam honors for the Lady Vikings. “In a league as difficult as ours, it’s hard enough to be All-GMC, much less as a freshman,” Crumpler said. “But her offseason training was great, and she comes from a running family.”
Other notable Lady Vikings include freshman Kelsy Petersman and sophomores Samia Bell and Maribel Cruz. The girls’ best performance this season, Crumpler said, was a third-place finish at the Ed Leas Invitational at Eaton, which the boys’ team won. Senior Sam Heaton has led the Vikings yet again this year; he earned all-league honors for the third straight season. “In general, he raced better last year, but he’s been consistent,” Crumpler said. Heaton, who advanced to regionals last year, hopes to make it to state. Other top runners for the boys include senior Marcus
Donaldson, juniors Antonio Graham and Alex Osborne and sophomore Matt Salatowski. The Vikings lost one of their top five runners, Corey Selmon, to a stress fracture. “Corey’s a wrestler who runs cross country to stay in shape,” Crumpler said. “We didn’t want to risk his wrestling season by pushing him, so we shut him down for the year.” Each squad hopes for a strong postseason showing under Crumpler, who will step down after seven years as head coach. Crumpler has been at Princeton for more than 20 years and will likely be replaced by Bob Fritz, who has served as co-head coach this season.

Do you think communities should regulate the number and sizes of political signs people can display on private property? Why or why not? “The greatest thing about our country is our freedom. It doesn’t make any difference to me how many political signs people put on their private property – or how large they might be. It’s like TV – look the other way if you don’t like what you see. “But what really peeves me are the inconsiderate folks who leave the signs up for days, weeks and even months after an election day. Communities should fine the violators – say $10 or more – per sign per day after elections. Just think what that would do to boost the communities’ bottom lines! ‘Nuff said ...” M.M. “Not only the number and size of the signs, but how about placing a law that within 72 hours all signs have to be removed or the responsible candidate will be fined per sign left standing to weather and fade in the many weeks and months after the election.” O.H.R. There should be regulations not only on yard signs but also radio and TV ads. By Nov. 2, I’m ready to regurgitate.” D.J. “Absolutely. They should only be allowed on private property, not in the right-of-way, and should only be permitted for a limited amount of time. “Most importantly, they should be required to be removed after the election.” P.C. “Do I think communities should regulate the number and sizes of political signs people can display on private property? Absolutely not! And I say that even for those people whose political affiliation is in direct opposition to my own. The government does not need to be involved in this aspect of our lives – it’s none of their business. The political season is only for a very short time, and even if we disagree with a candidate or an issue, the signs are only going to up for a brief period of time. We should just grin and bear it. It’s not going to hurt anyone. Unless your neighbors are causing a serious problem (and political signs aren’t a serious problem), you should let people exercise their freedom of speech and expression.” B.B. “No. Just hope they know what must be done!” J.F. “No, communities should not regulate the amount of political signs on a property. We do live in a country where our views are to be heard or in this case seen. Who cares how many signs are in your front yard? Living in Anderson Township, we are already regulated on how many pets a homeowner can have, what time our children should be in at night, how your camper or boat should be parked on your property and how your yard and home should look just to name a few.

They often deface our community by lingering long after elections. Anyone dumb enough to vote for a candidate just because his neighbor put up a sign is a fool who shouldn’t have the right to vote. That said, it is doubtful that this type of sign could be regulated in any way without running afoul of our constitutional protections of free expression.

Wilson’s senior problem
I read with interest Mike Wilson’s column (Oct. 13 Tri-County Press) that unlike Connie Pillich, he now has has issues page on his website. This sounded good as so far Mike’s campaign has been marked with lots of promises, but no road maps. Indeed, the site now has a lengthy list of issues but all but the top two: veterans issues and seniors are blank and marked “Coming Soon.” Not knowing much about veteran’s issue, I checked out the seniors’ section. I found is this statement from Mike, “With respect to state government, we need to improve on how we deliver long-term care (Medicaid). I met in April with the local Council on Aging who is responsible for administering these programs.” What? The Council on Aging staff are happy to advise seniors on a whole variety of issues including the various Medicaid programs they might be eligible for, but to apply for a Medicaid funded program one must visit a Jobs and Family Service office (previously known as and often still called Welfare). Mike’s statement indicates a serious misunderstanding of Ohio Medicaid, which is also a huge chunk of Ohio’s budget. One needs to understand how Medicaid operates to make appropriate decisions. Ohio’s problems are much too serious to turn over to a neophyte like Mike Wilson who unfortunately once again shows a poor understanding of how Ohio actually operates. Ann M. Black Sharonville

Choose Libertarian alternative
I am the Libertarian candidate for the Ohio House, 28th District. For the last 30-plus years it has not made any difference which major party was in office. Government has kept getting larger, taxes keep increasing and freedom – both personal and economic – has been decreasing. Ohio has a huge budget deficit and has been losing jobs and population for decades. Republicans and Democrats blame each other. Both parties have let the citizens of Ohio down. Why not give a Libertarian candidate an opportunity to govern? A wasted vote? A wasted vote is to vote for something you don’t believe in, or for the lesser of two evils. Bryant Callaghan Wyoming
Refuting column
In the current recession, Ohio has been affected worse than other states. In business climate and tax structure, we are closer to California and New York than dynamic states like Texas and Indiana. We’ve seen Ohio’s rank-

Ohio deserves better. My Democratic opponent distorts my positions with lies and scare tactics. The bi-partisan Ohio Elections Commissions found probable cause false statements were made. It isn’t about telling the truth, it’s about holding on to power. Nothing excuses lying to maintain power, but we all understand why typical politicians do. We know why Connie Pillich won’t run on her record of $10 billion in new spending, $2.1 billion in new taxes and fees, 200,000 lost jobs, and an $8 billion budget hole left for the next General Assembly. I have a plan to get Ohio back on track. I signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge. I will not raise your taxes. I will not make the problem worse. We will balance the budget with spending cuts and then work to lower taxes in Ohio. Other states get by with lower taxes and are rewarded with jobs and a vibrant economy. We can too. Together, we will get this done. I ask for your vote on Nov. 2. Mike Wilson Republican candidate for House District 28
VOICES FROM THE WEB Avon calling – with pink slips
What are your favorite and least favorite campaign ads this political season? Why? “My least favorite commercial is Connie Pillich’s ‘Veterans Commercial.’ “I believe that this commercial contains false statements. And the Ohio Elections Commission agrees with me. They recently voted 3 to 0 that there is probable cause that her commercial contains false statements. This false and misleading commercial should be pulled immediately.” R.R.
Visitors to Cincinnati.com/ Sharonville posted these comments to a story about Avon Products’ plans to terminate 400 workers when it closes its manufacturing plant in Springdale by year-end: “That really is unfortunate news to read. I worked there years ago and enjoyed the people I worked with. I was a long-term temp and they did a wonderful job treating me as a fellow employee. I feel for them now.” BikerBob68 “It’s not Obama’s fault, it’s not Bush’s fault, it’s Avon’s fault. They have been slowly starting to outsource their jobs for years now – they started with their customer service call center and now its going to the warehouse. It’s cheaper for them to manufacture in Mexico and China.” 4gamblng
“The Driehaus ad featuring a military vet claiming that Driehaus got his veteran dad a long deserved medal – when in fact it was Steve Chabot who applied for and got approved the honor was about as low as it gets. He used the man to tell what he knew to be a giant misstatment of the truth. Or I can just it like it is – a lie!” K.D.

Painting the exterior of a building the size of the Harry Whiting Brown House in Glendale puts me in the mind of scaling Mount Everest in swim fins. When you do it all by yourself, it’s like performing oral surgery on an alligator. John J. Viall did it for a cause close to his heart. His 20year-old daughter, Emily, graduated from Princeton High School in 2008 and Evelyn is pursuing a degree Ohio State UniverPerkins at sity to do nurse Community counseling for diaPress betics. She is a type columnist 1 diabetic who is deeply grateful to the nursing staff at Children’s Hospital. The care and kindness they gave her inspired Emily to want to help others with diabetes. John painted HWB House to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund. Painting itself isn’t so bad, but the prep work can be a brutal. He began scraping and chipping on June 15, and worked until recently. I met with him Oct. 15, his target completion date. As I approached the 45foot lift that had taken him to the roof, I heard the mellow sound of Peggy Lee singing “All Right – OK, You Win” on a CD he brought to the job site. This is a man whose appreciation for good music probably kept him going during the oppressive summer heat. He labored the equivalent of 16 workweeks on the HWB House. John J.

the splendid job he did on the Harry Whiting Brown raised here,” he said. Their youngest two children graduated from Princeton. Viall declares that he is more gifted in labor rather than in brains, but I think he’s being modest. You don’t successfully teach adolescents for 33 years without “the little gray cells” (Hercule Poirot) firing on all cylinders.

Library’s strategic planning results in enhanced services The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County began a process in early 2010 to update its Strategic Plan. The purpose is to develop a strategy that will position the Library for optimal growth, while identifying longterm service needs. The first step was gathering the data needed to understand the Library’s customers through online surveys, intercept surveys conducted at 16 branches and the Main Library, observation of customer behavior, and in-depth interviews. Overall survey respondents were very satisfied with the Library’s services with the highest ratings given for friendliness and helpfulness of staff as well as the
safety, appearance, and cleanliness of the buildings. Out of a mean ranking of 1-7, only availability of public computers ranked below a five in the survey findings. Library cardholders wanted access to more computers with a wider selection of software and enhanced software. A $161,852 Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Opportunity Online Hardware Grant has provided much-needed funds to upgrade and purchase additional computer equipment for 17 of the Library’s 40 branches. Utilizing these funds, 83 new computers have been made available, and phase two of the funding will provide an additional 75 computers

Gold $1325 an Ounce! Silver $23.00
in early 2011. The Library is continuing to work on further addressing this need. The primary library use of nearly 60-percent was to browse and borrow books for adults. In response to learning that more access to new materials was the top priority of cardholders, the Library made some changes to its purchasing to get more copies of new materials, which in turn shortens or eliminates the waiting period for customers wanting to borrow popular new releases. In addition, the Library expanded Hot Authors to include 20 additional well-known novelists. This service gives customers the opportunity to automatically
receive the latest novels from more than 90 popular fiction writers. Cardholders can now have their names automatically added to a holds list for future novels by Dan Brown, Carol Higgins Clark, Robert Crais, Jennifer Crusie, Diane Mott Davidson, Richard Paul Evans and many more. Survey respondents indicated a strong interest in reading. Nearly 60 percent had read more than 20 books in the past year. “This is clearly reflected in the high print circulation at the Library,” said Executive Director Kim Fender. “Despite record-breaking circulation of 16.3 million in 2009, at the end of June our print use was

up by nearly 58,000 volumes over last year.” According to survey results, in the last three months nearly 50 percent of respondents had visited a Library more than 10 times. Nearly 50 percent checked out 35 items on each visit. The Library’s website was also heavily used by respondents, with nearly 60 percent visiting the website more than 10 times in the past three months. Placing holds was the top reason for visiting the site, at more than 90 percent, with catalog searches and renewing items close behind at more than 80 percent. The Strategic Plan is on target for completion by end of year.

What a grieving person can expect from others No other experience is as frequent as loss. Life begins with the loss of the comfortable womb and ends with the loss of life in this world or of people we dearly love. Between womb and tomb there are many varieties of other findings and losings. Accompanying each loss is a certain degree of grieving. I say “a certain degree” because losing our wallet, losing some of our hair, losing our job, losing our health or mobility, and losing our spouse or child all cause grief of varying degrees. It’s the loss of someone loved that creates the greatest wound. The word “grief” comes from the Latin gravis, “to bear,” “to carry the heaviness and depth of a situation.” We only grieve what has value to us. When a person we love dies, contrasting feelings fight within us. On one hand we appreciate this
valued person we’ve been blessed to have and hold in our heart. On the other hand, our heart’s sorrow is immeasurable because we can no longer hold him or her. Life’s treasures become life’s losses. Yet we must never hesitate to love because someday we may lose them. That condemns us to a wooden-like life. Grief is normal. Like other primal emotions it resists words and platitudes, resists being pinned down, analyzed and dealt with as a measurable problem. We resist others’ thinking they know just how we feel, for our love and our pain is specifically ours. What we do not resist – and need very much – is the sensitive understanding of others. Our compassion, maturity and social graces help us relate to those in grief. They help us know what to say and what not to say; what to do
and what not to do; and realize when the one grieving wishes to be left alone and when our presence is needed. Many people are uncomfortable around a grieving person, sometimes petrified, insensitive, rude or disconnected. Leon Wieseltier in his book “Kaddish,” derides what he sees as the American preoccupation with moving on, “closure,” tidying up painful experiences and memories. “Americans really believe that the past is past,” he writes. “They do not know that the past soaks the present like the light of a distant star. Things that are over do not end. They come inside us and seek sanctuary in subjectivity. And there they live on, in the consciousness of individuals and communities.” Is what he says about our obsession with moving on and obtaining closure true?
I believe so. The most repressed and banished fear we carry around is death anxiety. We are afraid of death, we don’t like to be around it, we exercise and diet to avoid it, we don’t talk about it. Men, much more than women, are struck dumb in dealing with such sensitive issues. Woody Allen, speaking for many men, relies on humor to avoid dealing with death. Allen said once, “I don’t mind dying, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” Whether it be excessive death anxiety or lack of social graces, we can still learn to be of support to grieving people – not just in the immediacy of their loss, but over the long haul. During many subsequent weeks or months we can genuinely ask how they’re doing, be willing to really listen if it appears they wish to talk a little, and not
just presuppose “they should be over it by now.” After one of Father Lou my sisters died, Guntzelman a remaining sister received a Perspectives card and kind expressions of consolation But after two weeks it was never mentioned again. We never “get over” the major joys and sorrows of our lives. Sure, we like to talk and share our joys. But our sorrows always remain heavier to bear alone. Yet realistically, every one of us must learn to do that despite all the caring support we receive. That’s just part of being an imperfect human with a vulnerable heart.

High-risk insurance plans now being offered Although health insurance reform is on the books, many provisions won’t kick in for a few years. Yet some things, like high risk health pools, took effect in September. This comes as a relief to many who have pre-existing conditions. Donna Griffin of Kennedy Heights lost her job last year and has been keeping her health coverage by paying for Cobra Insurance. She has a condition requiring her to take pain medication, and that’s causing problems. “Now that my Cobra Insurance is getting ready to

run out, I’m having problems getting health insurance. I’m being denied because I have a pre-existing condi-
tion,” she said. Several health insurance companies cited her spinal cord implant as the reason for denying her coverage, while another would only give her coverage if she paid a monthly premium exceeding $760.
“I have bills to pay, books for school, so I’m at a dead-end road and that’s why I called you, so you could help me and all the others out there who are having the same problem I’m running into,” Griffin said. So I told her about a new high-risk pool in Ohio run by Medical Mutual of Ohio. “I’ve never heard of it and I’ve been on the computer looking. You’re the first person I heard mention this,” said Griffin. I had her go online and see this is part of Health Care Reform – The Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act that became law March 23. Ohio is one of 30 states running its own high-risk pool, and it has two plans. The first plan has a $1,500 deductible and the second plan – costing less money – has a $2,500 deductible. You can pick the plan that’s best for you. Griffin put her information into the website and found a plan that will cost her $365 a month, which is less than she’s paying now. “I can deal with that,” she said. The only problem with

Add some spice to the mix with Buffalo hot sauce Last week I shared two of my favorite Halloween recipes on Channel 19’s morning show with Sheila Gray and Dan Wells (who was filling in for Rob Williams). Afterwards, Ashley Whittle, the producer, was telling me about a Buffalo chex mix she tasted while producing a TV show in Tennessee. She said it was so good that everyone kept coming back for more. Ashley shared it with me so I can now share it with you. (The video of my Fox 19 cooking segment is on my “Cooking with Rita” blog at http://news.cincinnati.com/opinion/blogs). And I’m finally getting caught up with your requests. See my “can you help “ section at the end of this article.

I’m willing to bet there are more recipes for this than fingers on my hands. I like to share this in the autumn because that’s when you can find the glossy brown buckeyes that have dropped from the trees. My dear friend, Fran Nordman, and her daughter, Gabrielle, made almost 700 of these for Gabrielle’s wedding! I make the base mixture ahead, form into balls and freeze. They stay just fine for six months or so. You can divide the recipe in half or even double it.
Buckeyes are a favorite treat this time of year.

The church is pleased to bring Dr. Scott Turansky, counselor and public speaker, and Joanne Miller to Cincinnati to conduct their “Parenting is Heart Work” seminar.

According to Turansky, behavior modification techniques may work for a short time but can breed selfishness over time. Kids learn to ask, “What’s in it for me?” The heart-based approach to parenting focuses on the premise that parents can help strengthen the conscience of their children to help them be internally motivated to make unselfish and meaningful decisions and choices. During the seminar parents of children ages 2-18 will learn the meaning of “from the heart” and how to use that information in the day-to-day challenges of family life. Turansky and Miller will offer

Terry Grossi of Wyoming Veterinary Clinic presents a portable scanner that will be presented to the Wyoming Police Department at the city’s Howling Pooch Parade. Wyoming Middle School students who are members of Make It Happen had raised funds to purchase a scanner, which reads microchips implanted in dogs. The information in the chip is used to identify the pet’s ower, who would be contacted to retrieve the lost animal. The veterinary clinic donated the remaining funds needed to purchase the equipment, which will be stored at the police department.
Drunk divers can’t hide behind Halloween costumes As party-going ghosts and goblins celebrate Halloween this weekend, Hamilton County OVI Task Force and Safe Communities reminds everyone to keep the party off the road. “There isn’t a Halloween costume clever enough to hide an impaired driver who has made the poor decision to get behind the wheel,” said Jennifer Bierer, Hamilton County Safe Communities coordinator. “Whether you’ve had one too many or way too many it is just not worth the risk. Remember, buzzed driving is drunk driving.” Nighttime is an especially dangerous time to be on the road, but Halloween night is often one of the deadliest nights of the year for impaired drivers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2008, 58 percent of all highway fatalities across the nation on Halloween night (6 p.m. Oct. 31 to 5:59 a.m. Nov. 1) involved a driver or a motorcycle rider with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher, which is illegal in every state. “The scariest part of Halloween is the fact that too often impaired drivers don’t plan ahead and end up making the roads scarier than a horror show,” Bierer said. Follow these simple tips for a safe Halloween: • Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin. • Before drinking, designate a sober driver. • If you’re impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation. • If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact your local law enforcement. • Always buckle up – it’s still your best defense against other impaired drivers. • If you know someone who is about to drive while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.
Woodlawn resident Constance Hudson was diagnosed with cancer in 1999. Instead of crumbling and bemoaning her fate, she made a decision – “I have cancer. Cancer does not have me.” With that attitude, Hudson began to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of women through her personal advocacy efforts. She motivates and encourages other women to ask questions of their doctors, seek second opinions and most importantly, she teaches women treat their health as if their lives depended on it. She provides counseling and support to male and female cancer survivors and their families, accompanying them on doctor visits and lending an ear and a shoulder to families who have lost a loved one.

Hudson has undergone a bone marrow transplant and more rounds of chemotherapy and radiation than one would like to count. Yet, she continues to hold a full time job and has received her undergraduate degree. Because of her kindness and dedication to helping others, she has been nominated by her peers for a 2010 Difference Maker Award. The Difference Maker Awards honor individuals, businesses and agencies that go above and beyond to better the lives of children. On Oct. 28, Cincinnati Museum Center will host a dinner and present Difference Maker Awards to five nominees. Visit www.cincymuseum.org for more information.
