Want answers to recreation firings, resignations
By Kelly McBride Reddy
Inside, online
Wyoming residents who attended city council’s Oct. 19 meeting with questions about the firings and resignations of four recreation department employees left the Municipal Building frustrated. They voiced concerns and asked questions during the citizen participation portion of the meeting, but as is standard during that part of the meeting, council members could not provide information. City Manager Bob Harrison fired recreation employees Cathy Deters and Victoria Ashford, and employees Michael Pearl and Monica Miller resigned after an Aug. 28 Teen Splash Dance at the Wyoming Family Aquatic Center. According to a Sept. 8 memo from Harrison to members of city council, City Solicitor Franklin Klaine and assistant City Manager Lynn Tetley, “It was verified that four employees violated the city’s Drug-Free Workplace Policy, specifically the use of alcohol in the workplace on Aug. 28, 2009.”

Residents spoke out in frustration at Wyoming’s City Council meeting Oct. 19, about an employee firing by City Manager Bob Harrison, as well as two resignations at the city’s recreation center. Klaine explained to the audience at the council meeting that, due to pending litigation, he could not discuss the case. “It is the position of the city that council and the administration will not be commenting this evening,” Klaine said. That didn’t answer residents’ questions, and residents were frustrated. Ken Shewmon referred to a letter sent by Deters’ attorney, Ran-
dolph Freking, to Klaine regarding the situation. The Tri-County Press obtained a copy of the document under a public records request. It contained a deadline of Monday, Oct. 19, to reinstate the employees. None was reinstated by that deadline. When Shewmon asked about it, Klaine repeated that he couldn’t comment. Shewmon also had sent an email to city council members, describing his concerns. “I was surprised and disturbed to note that the manager has unlimited and unchecked authority with regard to personnel matters and that council has no authority in this arena. “Per section 3.04 (of the city charter) not even the mayor, en elected official, has this level of
unchecked authority over city matters. “While I understand the concept of the manager council form of government, I can’t imagine that it is the interest of the city to have no oversight process in place regarding personnel matters. “It is unclear to me if the Civil Service Commission that is charged with determining fitness for employment has oversight responsibility to ensure that progressive discipline policies are in place and followed and that discipline is administered consistently.” He has received no response. Resident Brad Bonham defended the administration. “City council and the administration are doing what needs to be done,” she said. “It’s very emotional.” Harrison said later that he could not comment on the situation. Residents said they still want answers to their questions. “This is the kind of stuff that divides communities,” Patty Harmon said. “We expect answers. We want answers.”

A Liberty Township boy, Elliott Hidy, who will attend Moeller High School has been named as the first recipient of the Peter Gruber Memorial Scholarship, named after the former Glendale resident who died in a boating accident in June 2008. “Elliott was Gruber awarded this scholarship based on the similar attributes as Peter: service, leadership and love of others,” Helene Gruber, Peter’s mom, said of the $2,500 award that will cover half of his tuition in 2010-11. Gruber was a 2000 graduate of Moeller. His other alma mater, St. Gabriel School, has added a living tribute to its campus. Julie Joseph, one of Gruber’s classmates from St. Gabriel, collected donations from the 1996 class of 31 students for a red wine maple tree, which has been planted in front of the school on Sharon Road. “When we were younger, we would climb trees,” Joseph said, “so I wanted a sturdy maple tree to fit into Glendale.”

Memories ripple in pond
A decade after Princeton High School senior died, a pond dedicated to her memory was reconstructed and rededicated to the student, along with all of those who died while at Princeton. Kelly Freeman was a senior when she was diagnosed with leukemia. She died a few months later, and a pond in the school’s courtyard was dedicated to her memory. Landolus “Cookie” Black, Freeman’s grandmother, thanks everyone who helped restore the pond. See story, more photos, A5. KELLY MCBRIDE REDDY/STAFF

Glendale opens Eckstein site; asks for ideas on how to use it By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
The Village of Glendale is opening Eckstein School for those who want to see what it looks like inside, as it seeks requests for proposal for purchase, lease or use of the property. The open house, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, will give the public a chance to see the inside of the school built in 1915. It was a school for African-
American children until the mid1950s, when the Glendale school system merged with Princeton City Schools. The original structure at 42 Washington Ave. was a house, and in 1928, a gymnasium was added to the front. Since the 1950s, Princeton has used the building for storage and occasional activities. The village bought it from Princeton over the summer in an auction where Glendale was the highest bidder, offering $65,000 for
the property. Ralph Hoop, a village councilman who also chairs the public buildings and historic preservation committee, said Glendale is trying to determine how the building will be used. “We invite Glendale residents or others to give proposals on how the property can be used,” Hoop said of proposals from those who want to use the building. “We would prefer those who are willing to do any renovations themselves, but haven’t excluded those
who want the Village to participate,” he said. “We left it wide open.” The Village also welcomes input for a plaque or memorial for the site, Hoop said. “We are looking for ideas to develop a concept for a plaque or marker for the site as an AfricanAmerican school,” he said. For more information, contact Hoop, Village Administrator Wally Cordes or Mayor Joseph Hubbard at the Village Offices, 771-7200.

Dr. Kenyon Hackworth describes the services he offers at Priority Health Chiropractic to Joanne Middlekamp.
The Taste of Springdale brought people seeking information about local businesses and those who wanted to sample the flavor of the city’s businesses. It also lured Bengals fans. The annual event was moved inside this year, in order to take away the risk of rain. Julie Matheny, executive director of the Springdale Chamber of Commerce, said bringing the Taste inside the Community Center also was less expensive, saving the cost of tents and security for the event. “We also thought it would be important to have a little bit of entertainment,” she said. That entertainment was a winning football game on a big screen, as the Bengals defeated Baltimore 17-14. PHOTOS BY KELLY MCBRIDE REDDY/STAFF

Memories flow as Princeton rededicates pond to fallen Vikings
By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
A decade after Princeton High School senior died, a pond dedicated to her memory was reconstructed and rededicated to the student, along with all of those who died while at Princeton. They are the fallen Vikings. Kelly Freeman was a senior when she was diagnosed with leukemia. She died a few months later, and a pond in the school’s courtyard was dedicated to her memory. Through the years, it fell into disrepair, until a student at Princeton stumbled upon her story for a class project. Jazmin Bernal, who has since graduated, researched Freeman’s story and took it a step further. “We stayed after school to work on it,” she said of her classmates who joined the project, supervised by teacher Judy Mac Kelly.

As dusk set in, Cheryl Adams, left, introduces Princeton's a capella choir, as Landolus "Cookie" Black and others listen to the performance. “Her grandmother told me Kelly was an overachiever, and was a motivation for others,” Bernal said. “It became a motivation for others, too, because a lot of people didn’t know her.” Her grandmother, Landolus “Cookie” Black, said it was wonderful when the senior class dedicated the
pond to her in 2000. “Now, what they’ve done to revive it, I’m pleased with it,” she said. Freeman would be 28 now, and Black said she still lives the tragedy and feels the loss. “But the thing that gives me strength is how many people she has touched
when she was here,” Black said. “It was time to go home.” She and other Vikings such as student Jeff Ross and basketball coach Bill Brewer won’t be forgotten now that the pond has been revived. Kelly said her TV production students will continue
to maintain the pond as part of a community service project. During a ceremony to rededicate the pond, students in English teacher Cheryl Adams’ class read poems they had written. Dorian Benjamin, Jordan Sibert and Kara Henderson presented their works to a crowd that gathered in Princeton’s cafeteria for the rededication. Then, students Joe Levack and Alex Ross presented a large plaque, a wooden Viking head that will be placed at the pond site. Adams summed up Kelly’s efforts before the group headed outside to see the finished product and hear a performance from the school’s a cappella choir. “The amount of work put into this was incredible,”

Moeller readies for GCL showdown By Mark Chalifoux
struggling squads from Roger Bacon and Purcell Marian lock horns in week 10 during a Spartan home game at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30. Roger Bacon’s losing streak extended to eight games with its week-nine loss to Chaminade Julienne, 35-14. Chaminade Julienne improved to 8-1 and is second in the Greater Catholic League North Division behind only Alter and its undefeated record of 9-0. Roger Bacon claimed victory in week one over Mount Healthy, 34-32, before losing its next eight games.

The Moeller football team continues to roll, heading into an Oct. 31 showdown at Nippert against St. Xavier for the GCL championship. The 9-0 Crusaders head into the game fresh off a dominating 40-10 win over Lakewood St. Edwards on Oct. 24. St. Xavier defeated St. Ed’s 3-2 earlier in the season. “It will be one heck of a game,” Moeller head coach John Rodenberg said. “Two somewhat equal teams playing good defense, it will be a great challenge for us. A city championship will be on the line so we’ll throw the gloves off and slug at each other.” The Moeller offense has been rolling as of late. The Moeller offense hasn’t scored less than 35 points since a 21-19 win over Centerville on Sept. 11. Moeller defeated La Salle in its last GCL game 35-14. The Lancers were one of the first teams this season to slow the Moeller rushing game, which forced the Crusaders to throw the ball more. “They were loading it up against the run so it let us work on our past game,” Rodenberg said. “The more work we get at it, the better we’ll be. We certainly have a good quarterback for it.” The Lakewood St. Edwards game was supposed to be a primer for the St. Xavier game. Rodenberg said Eds has a very powerful run game and a good defense but the Crusaders had little trouble in the 4010 win. St. Xavier comes into the game off a 30-21 loss to the state’s top-ranked team in Division I, St. Ignatius. The Bombers picked up 324 yards of offense but had troubles with turnovers, giving up two fumbles and two interceptions. St. Xavier has a strong defense but the offense came up short against St. Ignatius.

record by throwing six touchdown passes in a 55-0 rout of Taylor. Seyfried, one of the top passers in the city, threw for 260 yards in the win. Evan Aleshire and Harry Meisner each caught two of Seyfriend’s touchdown passes. Wyoming (9-0) will be playing for its first CHL title in five years when the Cowboys face Indian Hill Oct. 30.
Princeton 29, Hamilton 26
Princeton came up with a big home win 29-26 over Hamilton, thanks to a 14point fourth quarter, to pull to 5-4 on the season. Hamilton ran for 247 yards and limited Princeton to just 60 yards on the ground. Princeton quarterback Spencer Ware had a strong game throwing the ball though, as he racked up 249 passing yards to go with three touchdown passes. He also added another

St. Xavier came up short against the top-ranked team in Division I as the Bombers fell 30-21 to St. Ignatius. St. Xavier rallied in the second half, scoring 14 points, but the defense failed to make a stop late to get the ball back. The Bombers offense struggled at many points during the game and turned the ball over four times. St. Xavier did gain 324 yards of offense, led by 72 rushing yards from Conor Hundley and 98 receiving yards by Jeff Kraemer, but the turnovers doomed the Bombers. St. X cut the Ignatius lead to 23-21 with a little more than four minutes left in the game but St. Ignatius iced the game with a 56yard touchdown run at the end of the game.

Moeller just defeated St. Edward’s 40-10. St. Xavier defeated Ed’s 3-2 earlier in the season. “It will be one heck of a game,” Moeller head coach John Rodenberg said. “A city championship will be on the line so we’ll throw the gloves off and slug at each other.”

Moe golf makes it eight straight to state By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Moeller High School golf team has done it again. The Crusaders qualified for the state tournament for the eighth straight season, just one of several honors for the team in 2009. The Moeller golf team finished sixth in the state with a 327. Moeller’s Andrew Dorn finished second with a 75 and Michael Wolf had an 82. “Anytime you can win a GCL championship, a city championship, win a sectional tournament, finish second in the district, win a few regular season tournaments and go to state, it’s a good year,” head coach Rick Bohne
Crusaders. Even though it’s the eighth straight trip for Bohne, he said it’s as exciting as the first. “Each team is different and you realize what each kid gives to accomplish that goal,” he said. “It’s great to see what they do and the kids know they can do it because kids in the past have FILE PHOTO done it and they feed off of that.” The Crusaders were in a bit of Nick Tenhundfeld of Moeller was one of the key hole at the district tournament players for the Crusaders this season. until they played the last five said. “I’m extremely pleased with holes at one over par. the season.” Moeller was on pace to finish Bohne said the kids expect to with a score of 332, which would be successful and want to build on not have qualified for state. the program’s tradition. He also Instead, with the late rally, Moeller said the seniors don’t want be the finished second with a score of class that breaks the streak, which 321. was another motivator for the Bohne said the team is one of
the closest he’s had, and that the team camaraderie played a role in Moeller’s success. “All 11 kids on the team really pull for one another,” he said. “We’ve had close teams before but this one is a really tight-knit group. And it helps that we’ve got some good golfers.” Chief among those golfers is junior Andrew Dorn, the Crusaders’ top player. Junior Jackson Lee was a steady performer for Moeller and Bohne said junior Michael Wolf was a player that exceeded expectations this season. Junior Michael Irwin played well for Moeller, along with senior Nick Tenhundfeld. “We’ve won every way,” Bohne said. “We’ve won when
Andrew isn’t playing great, we’ve won when Andrew plays well and other guys just kept their head above water, and we’ve won when Andrew plays well but other guys lead the pack. We’ve just had good steady play from a lot of guys and it’s been successful.” Bohne said the juniors are already talking about next season and the 2009 team was an example of what Moeller athletics is all about. “It’s a group of kids that hung together, believed in themselves and have accomplished a lot,” he said. “They feed off of each other. They work hard and enjoy and trust each other and had a terrific year. I’m very proud of them.”
MND trio falls in 2nd round at state CHCA tennis competes at state tmeale@communitypress.com
A trio of MND tennis players scored wins in the first round at the 2009 Division I State Championships in Columbus before all three girls suffered second-round losses. The two-day state championships concluded Saturday, Oct. 24. Senior Andrea Wolf fell to Rocky River Magnificat senior Stephanie Hollis in the second round at state, 2-0 (7-6, 6-1). On the doubles’ court, MND senior Kelly Dennis and freshman Sandy Niehaus were eliminated in the second round by New Albany’s Meghan Buell and Maddie Kobelt, 2-0 (6-1, 6-2). Wolf went 1-1 at state including a first-round win over Niehaus and Dennis also went 1-1 at state including their first-round victory over a Sylvania Southview duo, 2-0 (6-1, 6-2). Wolf advanced to the state championships in 2008 before suffering a first-round loss to Hollis, 20 (6-3, 6-4). Hollis had Wolf’s number again in 2009. Before state, Wolf won a sectional title and placed second at districts while advancing on both occasions. “She’s very experienced,” Dennis said. “She knows she’s prepared well. She just wants it. She wants to prove herself as one of the best tennis players in the state.”
Dennis and Niehaus, meanwhile, both made firsttime appearances in the state tournament; they advanced after winning a sectional championship where they did not drop a single set - and placing third at districts. “For Kelly, she lost in districts last year and was disappointed she didn’t make it to state,” said Dennis, who is Kelly’s mother. “Now she has Andrea telling her, ‘Don’t just be happy with making it. Try to win it.’ “Kelly’s serve sets up her partner up well to poach at the net,” Dennis said. Wolf and Dennis have been invaluable for the Cougars during their careers at MND. First-Team All-GGCL Scarlet selections as sophomores, juniors and seniors, they led an MND squad that went 20-0 (7-0) this season en route to winning a second straight league title. Fourteen of the Cougars’ victories were 5-0, and at one point they reeled off eight straight. Wolf and Dennis, who split time at first singles’, went a combined 34-1 during the regular season. “They’ve been playing together since they were 7 or 8,” Dennis said. “They’ve really supported each other.” Wolf and Dennis - along with fellow seniors Ashley Towle, Natalie Torbeck and Jackie Becker - form arguably the finest top-tobottom senior tennis class that MND has produced. “They have changed the

MND tennis program,” Dennis said. “The character and sportsmanship that they carried to their schools through their sport were phenomenal.” Dennis looks forward to next season, as Niehaus, who will be a sophomore, and Brooke Dennis, who will be a junior, are the top returners. Niehaus went 9-0 in second singles’ this year, and Dennis didn’t lose a match in the regular season. “I expect Brooke and Sandy to be my leaders and keep the tradition alive,” Dennis said. “Both of these girls are on a track to play college tennis.” Of course, Dennis must also say goodbye to her daughter Kelly, who is still determining where she will play in college. “For me, coaching her has been an honor,” Dennis said. “It’s been a great experience and one of the top highlights of my life.”

Sophomore Holly Dahmus of Indian Hill was knocked out in the state singles tournament by Courtney Earnest of Lexington 61, 7-5, while junior Kassie Faugno of Loveland and sophomore Dominique Baxter of Wyoming fell against Kim My Li and My Linh Li from Columbus DeSales in the first round. Dahmus advanced to state after winning a sectional championship and finishing third at districts. “She’s been understanding certain parts of her game and what she can do to win,” head coach Lynn Nabors-McNally said. “She’s been a bit more

offensive.” Like Dahmus, Faugno and Baxter advanced to state after winning a sectional championship and finishing third at districts. Despite losing in the district semi-finals, both Dahmus and Faugno/Baxter bounced back to win their third-place matches. “These three are my best; they’re all very even and have rotated throughout the season,” NaborsMcNally said. “You try to put yourself in the best possible situation.” Faugno and Baxter, who lost in the state quarterfinals last year, carried that same fight with them to Columbus. Still, it was an impressive
season for Faugno/Baxter, who won Flight A at the Coach’s Classic in September. As a team, the Eagles won the Miami Valley Conference title yet again; they have won it every year but once since Nabors-McNally arrived at CHCA after leading Ursuline to a state title in 1994. It bodes well for CHCA that its top three players will return next season. “All of them will return, so this isn’t the end,” said Nabors-McNally, who simply wanted her girls to play to the best of their ability at state and represent the school in a positive manner. “I think we can be really good. Hopefully this entices them to work hard.”

VOICES FROM THE WEB after admitting to drinking? Please Wyoming, don’t even consider that option. It is not OK to waste taxpayer money like that to reinstate the individuals that cannot run a government owned facility and it’s programs approriately and more importantly cannot be trusted to watch over the safety of others.” FiringPin
Their cups runneth over
Visitors to Cincinnati.com/wyoming posted these comments to a story about four Wyoming recreation employees who either resigned or were fired after drinking on the job:
“Okay, let me see if I have this straight: “Wyoming City employees are paid with taxpayer dollars. Wyoming City employees are currently not permitted to drink alcohol while ‘on duty.’ At least four Wyoming city employees did, in fact, drink alcohol while ‘on duty.’ Said employees no longer work for the city of Wyoming as a result. “The taxpayers of Wyoming are now throwing a hissy fit because said employees are no longer employed. Hmmmmmmm ... so the taxpayers of Wyoming are OK with their tax dollars funding city employees who drink alcohol while ‘on duty?’ Do they realize some city employees carry guns and drive big trucks? And they’re OK with drinking on the job? What level of morons are these people?” schadenfreude01 “Wow fired and 20 to life at the least this could possibly even affect homeland security. I know I won’t get any sleep tonight just thinking about this incident.” rrlarry “Really ... at what government job is it OK to drink alcohol at? In fact, other than bartending, I am sure there are very few jobs anywhere that it is OK to drink at, especially if said individuals are on duty.
“Can’t people show up, do their jobs, and not have to drink? Good grief, there are plenty of other times to drink. Only selfish people would drink when minors are present.” magamec “In e-mails to the city and at a recent city council meeting, dozens of Wyoming residents have criticized city officials for being too harsh on the four employees who lost their jobs. Residents especially praised the work and dedication of Mike Pearl, recreation program coordinator, and Cathy Deters, recreation sports coordinator.’ “Sounds like the typical attitude of an upscale community. There is probably as much drug abuse in Wyoming as there is in the inner city.” voxcincinnati

More than 150 people crowd Wyoming council chambers in support of Cathy Deters, who was fired from her position as recreation director. These people are in charge of keeping the people and children safe as well as managing/directing the people under them who keep the community’s loved ones safe. “Punishment too harsh ... wake up!
These people probably could have been arrested. Not to mention the fact that they just put the city at risk of liability if anybody had been hurt from this and they have the audacity to want their jobs back
Sharonville council has voted to support the highspeed rail proposal that would run from Columbus to Cincinnati. Sharonville has applied for funding to build a station in the city. Would you like to see a high rail station in your community? Why or why not? “High speed rail, train stations – whoopee! Why not throw in streetcars while were at it? Go one better and make them horse drawn. I’ve yet to hear an argument for these ‘advances’ that makes any kind of sense. “Truly, we do enjoy things nostalgic. I have an old television set from 1947. It’s pretty cool, but I don’t use it. Why would I? The same goes for high speed rail. Why would folks ride it? “Allow me to answer the question myself – they won’t ride it anymore than I’ll turn that old television on to watch ‘Survivor’ in thrilling black and white. Americans love convenience and for the most part it is far more convenient to drive to these cities, arrive when we want to arrive and depart when we wish rather than according to a published schedule. Then there is the additional expense of transportation once we have reached the cities on the rail route. “That brings us to the issue of how to keep this railroad on the tracks once we have it in place. How often will the administrators of the rail system come to the taxpayers for additional funding? You know they will because they always do. “A better idea might be to revisit the idea of a metro subway system. It may not be as romantic an idea, but it’s a darn site more practical for commuters and shoppers, but even that might be an expensive risk and for the same reasons. “Oh, and as far as streetcars are concerned, I remember my father teaching me some vile oaths to cast because they tied traffic up in knots.

Should local governments consider consolidating services to lower costs? If so, which services? “County and local governments need to consolidate services and think of their services as regional. Cities like Indianapolis and Louisville have made great progress in improving services through consolidation. Our region has too many too small governments duplicating services and all carrying expensive core overhead that could be streamlined so there were more services and less ‘border based bureaucracy.’” S.M. “I’m tempted to answer this question the way a certain candidate for high office answered Rick Warren’s question last year about when does life begin, regarding abortion: ‘Uh, yo, that’s above my paygrade.’ Still, the idea does have merit. Perhaps combining police and fire services could work, but you have to remember that it will result in some jobs lost; I don’t want to be responsible for anyone losing their livelihood.” B.B.

MR/DD uses money wisely
It’s good that I rarely need to respond to wrong information about Hamilton County MR/DD printed in a newspaper. An entry at the end of an article printed recently in this newspaper, called “Voices from the Web” has such misleading information, it had to be addressed. This levy is up for vote Nov. 3. It is, indeed, 73 percent of our funding. Funds pay for services to more than 8,000 adults and children with disabilities. Many have significant disabilities requiring specialized expertise that no other entity can provide. Levy funding provides match for federally-funded Medicaid waivers used by 2,500 people served by our agency. Without this federal money our local dollars bring, more financial responsibility would fall upon local taxpayers, requiring us to ask for a larger levy amount. We are rated No. 1 in the state for making the most of local dollars by matching them with Medicaid waiver dollars to pay for services. Our financial records are public and open to anyone, and staff members are available to answer questions. The county auditor and treasurer handle all accounting, and they are, in turn, audited by the state. Members of our community and children’s services teams are in homes, workplaces, schools, and community centers serving individuals at all hours. They do not have offices, but work in open spaces at other locations if needed. Most furniture is re-conditioned and well-worn! None is custom-made. Phone and laptops help staff outside traditional offices working closely with individuals and families to stay efficient. They are bought at a fraction of retail costs through suppliers. If lost or damaged, the staff person replaces them at his or her own cost. We do have two new vans to transport people served. One was bought with a grant using no tax-

What closing 20 library branches would mean
As a result of a 28 percent decline in state revenue, the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County faces a $16 million funding shortfall in 2010. Without a steady source of additional funding we face the unimaginable – closure of up to half of our 40 branch libraries. Libraries that remain open will face increased demand for services and severe cuts – reduced staffing, steep reductions in hours, reduced computer availability, and fewer new materials. Think about what closing 20 branches will mean to this community. There’s the building itself. Imagine it empty. Doors locked. Sold, perhaps even demolished.

A neighborhood branch library is also the people who work there. It’s the children’s librarian who leads preschool story time. It’s the reference librarian who recommends good mystery writers and enthusiastically shares her love of good books with you. That same reference librarian helps you find the car repair manual, a magazine article for a homework assignment or a travel guide. It’s the smile on the face of the man at the desk as he gives a child his first library card or helps you find a book on the shelf. A branch library is also about the thousands of materials available to Hamilton County residents. Thousands of books, newspapers, CDs, DVDS, and other resources available at your fingertips. Free computer and wireless Internet access for job seekers and students. We know our library is important to you because you use our services. We’re busier than ever, on pace to loan more than 16.5 million books and materials this year – more than 1 million more than last year. Program attendance, computer usage, reference questions asked, and number of visits to the library have also dramatically increased. To continue this tradition of excellence we need adequate funding. William J. Moran Vice President Board of Library Trustees

Loveland Board of Education President Kathryn Lorenz congratulates Denny Humbel for winning, along with his company, Turner Construction Co., the school district’s first “Tiger Tribute.”
Construction company keeps commitment to school district Ash, and its subcontractor Kalkreuth Roofing, which has offices in Marion, and both agreed to totally replace the roof at no cost to the school district for the remaining two-thirds of the roof’s warranty. “That’s what I call standing behind their work, keeping commitments, and guaranteeing customer satisfaction,” schools Superintendent Kevin Boys said. “We never expected the contractors to step up and replace the roof without a fight, especially after so many years had passed, but Turner leveraged their relationship with Dugan & Meyers and Kalkreuth to do the right thing.” Ken Jones, the general manager of Turner’s Cincinnati office, said “We look at our clients as long-term partnerships, which continue long after the job is done.” Humbel has actively supported the schools as a Miami Township resident – serving on the district’s business advisory council since its inception in 2003 and working to secure revenue for the district.

The Loveland Board of Education presented Denny Humbel and the Turner Construction Co. with its first “Tiger Tribute.” The new award is designed to recognize those in the Loveland City Schools community who make lasting contributions to the school district. Ten years ago, the district hired Turner Construction Co. of downtown Cincinnati to manage the school system’s two-year building program, which was completed in 2001. Earlier this year, the school district contacted Turner about shingles falling off the roof of the Loveland Middle School. Humbel, Turner’s director of K-12 Education clients, met with the school district and implemented the company’s warranty service, led by Ed Strelau – a 41year veteran with Turner who, according to Humbel, brings a depth of experience and problem-solving skill to Turner’s clients. Turner contacted its general contractor Dugan & Meyers, which has offices in Pleasant Ridge and Blue

Ordinarily, saying you can still taste something a week later is a bad thing. However, in the case of Joyce Dorsey’s pumpkin bread, it is a compliment of the highest order. The bread was so moist and delicious, the memory still lingers. Her fried apple pies were great too. Evelyn Joyce is a teacher Perkins who loves to bake. Community Zucchini bread and pies with scratch Press crusts are just a few columnist more of her recipes. She learned from her mother, Mrs. Fannie Whiteside, whom you read about a couple of months ago. Her aunts taught her too, but much credit is due to Joyce’s delicate touch. I speak from experience. My mother and godmother tried to teach me, and my piecrust baked into a lethal weapon. Husband James (Jay) Dorsey and Joyce’s brother were college roommates at Bowling Green University. Jay is from Troy, Ohio, where he and Joyce moved when they married 44 years ago. She liked living there because it was a small town, good for their children, Kristen and James Jr. (Jamie). Jay was the assistant principal and principal in the Troy and Dayton areas. He also coached football in Dayton. After moving to Cincinnati, they both commuted for a while – she to Troy, and he to Dayton after they built their house in Glendale. He became assistant principal in the Winton Woods School District, and then counselor of Project Success in the same district. These days he is an administrative substitute who still follows the students he coached in sports. Jay is a born educator. Joyce says he “forces” her to workout in the gym with him, and they enjoy walking together in

Joyce walked in More Magazine’s mini marathon in New York, the same venue that she ran in 19 years ago. The Dorseys love to garden as you can tell from their yard. Travel includes Hilton Head or Florida for a week each year, along with their children, son and daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Kristen has a daughter and Jamie has twins (a boy and a girl). One of their special delights is collecting and framing menus from their travels both here and abroad. While living in Troy, Joyce coordinated the program for special needs children. She majored in psychology and sociology at Bowling Green and earned a graduate degree in education with a concentration in special educa-
tion and social work. She was the school social worker in the Cincinnati Public Schools, and now she subs in special education at Winton Woods.

This is an alert to mark your calendars for the gingerbread house contest coming in December.

Wyoming studies its promenade
Wyoming will be taking a close look at one important stretch of its business district along Springfield Pike. The city council has authorized a citizen task force to conduct a review of the land uses between the Wyoming branch library at the corner of the Pike and Wyoming Avenue, and the Wyoming Civic Center, one block south. The city had applied for federal stimulus funds that might have advanced the possibility of moving its fire station to property adjacent to the civic center, and the land use review was prompted by that possibility. Although the city was recently notified that it did not receive the funds, city manager Bob Harrison says that other issues remain

Those issues include determination of the “highest and best use” of the civic center, the potential impact of the expansion of the Wyoming Middle School and other school district facilities in this area, what might happen as a result of decreased library funding, and the ongoing successful redevelopment of the business strip just south of Wyoming Avenue. Task force progress on this assignment, and its recommendations for this area, referred to in the city’s new master plan as the Promenade, will be available to

Saints – as they live out their lives the best they can – strive to stand on the fulcrum in utter honesty and understanding of themselves. They don’t compare themselves to others. They don’t judge others against the measure of themselves. They just try to relate to others and the world in a way they believe their Maker created them to do. They struggle to know and then to discipline and control their darkness and vices – while they struggle to give expression to the light and love within them with the help of God’s grace. We must hide our dark side from society in general, but we must never try to hide it from ourselves. While doing good, we
must acknowledge to ourselves our own demons as we do battle with them. When we speak of sainthood today, we speak of it in its truest sense as a full-blooded embracing of our own humanity, not a false veneer of pseudo-goodness. Trying to appear better than we are prevents our becoming what we can be. When I was a youth I looked at saints in a very different way. Most of the canonized saints seemed to belong to religious orders, the clergy, or were people who wrought miracles and had followers. Today I imagine the saints to especially be among the humble and honest people, those who rise wearily and go off to ordinary and routine labor to support their families. They sacrifice creature comforts, narcissistic interests, and personal agendas in behalf of larg-
er values. We do not usually accord these common people hero or saint status, bur their acts renew the world each day as a place of enduring value. As Dr. James Hollis says, “We are all, every day, faced with death, depression and despair. Whoever rises to do what must be done, does a deed for us all.” Of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Beware of the dinosaur hunter scam circulating Phony check scams are alive and well these days as scammers continue to try to steal your money. The latest deception preys on people who are trying to rent an apartment or house. Shelly Fast said she came across one such con at the Wilmington real estate office at which she works. She received an e-mail from someone seeking to rent a house. “He started to communicate back and forth with us but it was a strange communication. He didn’t want to come over and look at it, he rented it sight unseen,” she said. All the communications took place via e-mail. “We asked him to fill out
a lease agreement and an application. That n e v e r happened. He went into great Howard Ain detail with Hey Howard! s t o r i e s that he was an Italian fossil hunter,” said Fast. The person claimed to be a Professor Klose who said he’s discovered lots of dinosaurs and will be coming to the U.S. to trade fossils. “We started to get pretty suspicious when he said he was going to send a check for the first month rent, deposit and furniture for the

So, he’s preying on people,” she said. “When I Googled his name, and supposedly the place he was working for with the fossils, a lot of stuff came up with ‘scammers.’ People are doing it using different names but the same scenario,” Fast said.
The scammer recently sent another e-mail demanding the money and even claimed he would go to the FBI if he didn’t get it. Fast said she hopes this case can serve as a warning to all. If you receive a check from someone you don’t know who wants you to cash it and then send them money – don’t do it. Their check is probably not good and you’ll have
sent your good money to the bad guys. Troubleshooter Howard Ain answers consumer complaints and questions weekdays at 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts on WKRC-TV Local 12. You can write to him at Hey Howard, 12 WKRC-TV, 1906 Highland Ave., Cincinnati 45219.

I have a clarification on my recent story involving Social Security Disability checks. Deductions from the benefits for food and shelter applies only to Supplemental Security Income disability and not Social Security disability. The difference between the two types of payments relates to those who have worked and contributed to Social Security and those who have not. People who paid into Social Security and then become disabled do not have to worry about their checks being reduced based on someone else helping them with food and housing expenses. They will receive their entire amount of back benefits in one payment. On the other hand, those who did not work or did not pay into Social Security will be eligible only for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and that does reduce checks based on outside housing and food assistance. In addition, it often does pay the back benefits in increments. In all cases when applying for SSI or Social Security Disability be sure to contact an attorney with expertise in this field.
four- to five-bedroom home he wanted to rent,” Fast said. He did send a check for $8,650 – but it was written on an AOL Time Warner bank account which didn’t make any sense. He asked Fast to cash it and send $2,900 to a furniture company for furniture he was renting. His wife and child were supposedly coming with him. “That is why he needed a large home and all that furniture. He kept mentioning a trustee in the U.S. would be in contact with us, and we kept asking for the trustee’s name and information but never got anything,” she said. Fast said she wondered why he didn’t send a check to the furniture company himself instead of asking her to do it. In addition, although he claimed to have been in Italy, the packing slip on the UPS envelope containing his check showed it was shipped from Massachusetts. “He was very strange responding to the e-mails. He didn’t answer questions that we asked him and we would respond with things he asked for and then he asked for the same thing over and over again,” Fast said. “I think in these tough times people are having now, some rentals are diffi-

Too many apples? Make fruit leather The sign was outside of a church on Salem Avenue in Mount Washington: “Friendship multiplies joy a n d divides sorrow.” So true. Friends can be many different people, comRita p l e t e l y Heikenfeld unrelated or someRita’s kitchen one biological. Think of the sibling who wasn’t cool enough to hang with as a kid, or the mom or dad who seemed older than dirt. (I remember one of my kids asking me if electricity was invented when I was young). As you grow, so does your wisdom and over the years, you become the closest of friends.
Apple or pear sauce and fruit rollups/leather
Every year I make batches of apple or pear sauce,
and rollups. No artificial anything added!
Preparation:
Wash, core and cut 3 to 5 pounds fruit into chunks (apples or pears). Leave skin on because the pectin in the peel helps remove cholesterol.
Cooking options:
Crockpot: Spray pot. Put fruit in. Cook on low six to eight hours or high for three to five hours until fruit is soft enough to mash. Stovetop: Place in heavy or nonstick large pot. Add up to 1 cup water, cider or apple juice (to keep fruit from sticking), and simmer until fruit is soft. You may have to add a bit more liquid. Careful - the mixture tends to sputter up. Oven: (my preferred method). I use a restaurant steam table pan but use anything that has sides and which will hold fruit. Spray pan. Cook in 350-degree oven until soft.
To purée:
Run through food mill or sieve, blender or food processor. If desired, sweeten to taste with sugar, Ste-

Drying to make fruit rollups/leather:
Spray cookie sheets. Pour puree evenly onto sheets, about 1⁄4-inch deep. In summer, I’ll dry it in the sun. This time of year it’s the oven. Dry in warm oven. Mine only goes down to 170 degrees so I propped the door open. You don’t want it to cook too quickly or it will be hard. It will take anywhere from four to eight hours or more depending upon the kind of apples, etc. If it’s late in the evening and it’s still not done, turn the oven off with the leather

Fruit leather after drying (you can see my hand through it if you look close). still in, and proceed in the morning.
How to tell if the fruit leather is done:
It should pull up from the pan in one sheet.
Storing:
In refrigerator, up to six months, and up to one year in freezer
Rita’s clone of Bigg’s chicken salad
The deli folks at Bigg’s were so nice, and fun to chat with. They chuckled when I said my readers were begging for the recipe. Since the recipe is proprietary, I couldn’t wrangle the recipe or all of the ingredients out of them. “It’s your normal chicken salad: mayonnaise, celery, grapes, cashews, etc. The
secret ingredients are a pinch of ‘Ahh’ and a tablespoon of love.” After tasting it, I’d say it had a lot of both – yum! Trying to clone this for the home cook when it’s made in huge amounts is challenging. Deli chicken salads often contain chicken base and seasoning salt. I fiddled with it and here’s my best shot. I poach my chicken in broth and let it cool in broth before dicing for added flavor and moistness. Taste as you go, adding 1 rib celery, 1 onion, the lesser amount of seasoning, etc. Add more if needed.
1 pound cooked chicken, diced or shredded 1-2 ribs celery, diced 1-2 green onions, sliced very thin Green grapes, cut in half, and salted cashew halves or pieces – you choose how much 1 cup Hellman’s mayonnaise or more to taste 1 ⁄4 to 1⁄2 teaspoon or so each: Lawry’s seasoning salt and chicken base (use a good quality base like Minor’s). Mix chicken, celery and onions together. Whisk chicken base and salt with the mayo. Pour over chick-

A reader had trouble with the mixture coming together. You have to mix it up really well and it will come together. I use regular sausage and baking mix, not low fat. Try starting with 2 cups baking mix and go from there. The cheese can be increased, too, to 21⁄2 cups.

Feature of the Week
RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

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.
