BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Glendale starts holiday food drive
Police, fire personnel to collect at Kroger By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com
Glendale is getting ready for the upcoming season, with a food drive to help local families during the holidays.
The police department, with help from the fire department and other volunteers, will collect nonperishable food and Kroger gift cards Nov. 3 and Nov. 4, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Woodlawn Kroger. The food will be organized and boxed for Glendale residents identified by the police department and the First Presbyterian
Church in Glendale. The church donates Thanksgiving fixings, and the food drive fills in with canned goods and other nonperishables. After the needs of the Glendale families are met, extra donations will be sent to the Tri-County Soul Ministries, 11177 Springfield Pike. Glendale Police Chief Dave
Warman said last year’s drive brought donations of almost 1,000 food items. He encouraged folks to stop by the Kroger store to donate food or gift cards. He needs volunteers to help collect, organize and pack the boxes. Anyone who wants to help can call Warman at the police station,
771-7645. “With the holidays approaching, this is the time of year that people need the most,” Warman said. “Glendale has always stepped up. “Together, as one, we can make a difference.” For more about your community, visit www.Cincinnati.com/Glendale.
Sharonville school walk raises funds The benefits of walking were many. Sharonville Elementary students got outside recently for a walk-a-thon to benefit the general fund. The hourlong event Oct. 19 rounded out the school day with students making tracks on the school grounds starting at 2:15 p.m. The event, which raised more than $2,000, was designed to promote school spirit and emphasized the benefits of exercise and good health. Rain didn’t keep away parent volunteers for the fundraiser that will support student programs.
Kim Bathe’s kindergarten and Karen Chorey’s morning kindergarten class raised the most money and earned a special treat. Bathe’s kindergartners and Erin Sucher’s third graders won the Halloween scavenger hunt during the walk. Several sponsors were also thanked for their contributions: Cincinnati Sub Zero, Mad Potter Madeira, McDonald’s, Costco Wholesale, Sam’s Club, Crowne Plaza North Cincinnati, Vintage Market and Thrift, Johnny Chin Insurance Agency Inc., and Molloy Roofing Co. Wyoming fifth-graders fill scrapbooks with information about the presidential election. KELLY MCBRIDE/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

A scavenger hunt for information to fill scrapbooks has led fifth-graders at Wyoming Middle School to a wealth of knowledge about the presidential election. Among the items on social studies teacher Barb Bishop’s list were news articles, pamphlets, political cartoons and photos. The students included the same items, but the similarities stopped there. The books were decorated in red, white and blue, flags waving and candidates smiling on the covers and inside pages. Many of the fifth-graders started with little or no knowledge of the election process, but after several weeks collecting

Bethany anxious to jump into new gym Rain threatened to put a damper on the Oct. 18 groundbreaking for the new multipurpose building at Bethany School. Dignitaries and the entire student body would be there. Parents were coming for the walk-a-thon afterwards to raise money for scholarships. The sun didn’t peek through the clouds until just before 9 a.m. Talk about a nail biter. The building site was muddy, but Bethany’s ingenious brains did not let that Evelyn frustrate Perkins their plans. COMMUNITY They loadPRESS COLUMNIST ed dirt from the site into a wheelbarrow, and brought it, along with shovels and hard hats, into the gymnasium. After all, who said you have to break ground outdoors? The gymnasium stage curtains were gaily draped with outlines of the student’s hands. Their names were written on each hand and some had drawings on them. Head of School Cheryl Pez showed the black and white photograph of the first groundbreaking for the current gymnasium 50 years ago. She then explained the significance of the different color T-shirts that the students wear. Each color represents pillars of characters. Orange is for fairness, and the new building will

Bethany aspires to be a good neighbor and to care for the land. Yellow signifies respect; the new building will be used for honors and graduation ceremonies.

in singing “Every Move I Make,” Sister Teresa commented that the groundbreaking was for more than just one project. “It will be a multipurpose room, provide a new parking lot and have a water retention project to stop water from going onto our neighbor’s property.” Glendale Mayor Ralph Hoop had attended Bethany’s scholarship awards program and was impressed. At the groundbreaking he said: “The scholarships showed dedication to extending education beyond the Bethany years. The character and conduct of the students renewed my personal faith

Politics, from pup’s point of view By Kelly McBride
kmcbride@communitypress.com
Some might say election season turns into a dog-eat-dog political world, with candidates performing dog-and-pony shows. And while some would point out that a barking dog never bites, others would agree that the whole thing has gone to the dogs. So, what do the dogs think? A local author has captured politics from the canine perspective, in a picture book titled “Red Dog Blue Dog, When Pooches Get Political.”
Chuck Sambuchino has combined his love of politics with his love of dogs, to show both sides of an election as a dog might see it. “People who read the book will see how Red Dog wants to see your longform birth certificate, just like Blue Dog would like to know if her milkbones are organic and fair trade,” said Sambuchino, a Sharonville resident. “It’s those kind of jokes.” He compiled a list of political issues, such as higher taxes, global warming and immigration, then wrote jokes for a Republican dog and a Democratic

dog on each subject. Photos were submitted, and Sambuchino paired picture with joke. “I wanted to bring some laughs and levity to politics in this intense election year,” Sambuchino said. “This book is just photos of dogs and pure comedy. “It’s not to be taken seriously,” he said. “It makes fun of all sides of the political spectrum easily, and can be enjoyed by anyone.” It took about six months of sifting through photos and matching them with jokes for the book, a hardbound, roughly six-inch

square, with vivid colors and vivid commentary. Sambuchino’s own dog, Graham, appears twice in the book. Once as a Red Dog, and once as a Blue Dog. “He’s very pushy sometimes,” he said of Graham, a mid-size poodle mix. Sambuchino, a former Community Press reporter, put out a call for photos through Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. “The response was astounding,” he said. “The book only became a reality thanks to the extreme generosity of so many great dog lovers whom I met through social media.”

The contest between Republican Brad Wenstrup and Democrat William R. Smith for Ohio’s 2nd Congressional seat is, in the words of one political observer, “one of the more peculiar races of the (election) cycle.” Then again, David Wasserman added, it’s not really a race at all. Wasserman, who tracks House races for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, said of Smith’s chances to win: “If I could rate them worse than zero, I would. “Even if Smith were more than a heartbeat and a line on the ballot, Wenstrup would still have a sure ticket to Congress,” he said. Wenstrup, at least publicly, plays it safe, saying: “We won’t take anything for granted. I wasn’t supposed to win my primary, either.” His March primary win over four-term Congresswoman Jean Schmidt set up the general election race against Smith, who barely edged David Krikorian in the Democratic primary.
Wenstrup, 54, of Columbia Tusculum, is a podiatrist, a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserves and an Iraq war veteran. His first foray into politics came in the 2009 Cincinnati mayoral election. Although he lost to Mark Mallory, Wenstrup made a surprisingly strong showing. Smith, 61, lives in Waverly in Pike County. He’s a long-distance truck driver and acknowledges his schedule makes it difficult to find time to campaign. If elected to Congress, Wenstrup said he’d focus on “getting jobs back to southern Ohio.” He also said he hopes to use his military and healthcare expertise to serve the district. President Barack Oba-
ma’s health-care reform raises concerns about “the intrusion of outside sources participating in the decision-making process of care,” he said. “That really breaks down the doctorpatient relationship.” Smith said he, too, is concerned about health care. Asked why he’s running for Congress, he launched into a rambling discourse about the situation involving his father, who died of cancer in 2003. In order to pay for his father’s medication, Smith said he took out loans, which led to financial difficulties. “There’s things that happened, personally, that made me look around and see what was happening all around the community,” he said.

Political experience: Finished third in the Democratic primary for Congress in 2008.

Moeller hires new development director Archbishop Moeller High School has hired Scott Schuster to be the school’s new director of development. He will replace Advancement Director Debbie Geiger, who retired this year and will remain until the beginning of November to assist with the transition process. Geiger has been with Moeller since 2004. “We will certainly miss Debbie and honor all she has done for the Moeller community,” President
Bill Hunt said. “In addition to her record-breaking years as the director of our Main Event Charity, Debbie has raised literally millions of dollars for our Schuster students. In the past three years in her role as our advancement director, she grew Moeller’s Named Scholarship Program from five student schol-
arships to 26. “Under her leadership we have also exceeded Moeller’s annual fund goal each year. Few may realize all she has done to advance the development efforts of our school. She leaves behind an amazing legacy.” In addition, Schuster raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, managed regional alumni events, and managed the regional UC Volunteer Campaign Committees in Arizona, California, and Florida.
Schuster also has a background in sales and management. He served as a management assistant for the Phillips Edison and Co. and was a sales leader for Best Buy and Enerfab Inc. Schuster is a magna cum laude graduate of the University of Cincinnati, where he has earned several degrees. He earned a bachelor degree in business administration, with an emphasis on marketing and real estate; a master of science degree in business
administration/marketing; and a graduate certificate in marketing. He plans to graduate in 2014 with an MBA from the University of Cincinnati. Schuster and his wife, Molly, have an infant, Sophia. “We are pleased to have someone with such an extensive educational background in the field of business and marketing,” Hunt said. “I believe Scott will be a great assett to our advancement team.”

Princeton volleys in the right direction
Lady Vikings wrap best season in nearly a decade By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com
SHARONVILLE — Members of the Princeton High School volleyball team took steps forward in advancing the program’s future prospects throughout the 2012 campaign. In head coach Heather Sloane’s third season, the Vikings finished 9-13. That record won’t garner much attention, but for the Vikings, it’s a sign the squad is heading in the right direction. Princeton’s nine victories were the most since the 2004 Lady Vikings went 14-10. This year also marked the first time Princeton beat two Greater Miami Conference opponents in the same
season since 2004. Through Sloane’s first two seasons, the Vikings won 14 games, and the head coach believes the current campaign vindicates her girls’ efforts. “I think it proves the girls have been working hard and we’ve been doing what we’ve been working toward, and I want to give them credit because the girls made difference to get where we are right now,” Sloane said. Impact players, such as outside hitter Maddie Lohmeier, played a vital role in helping to change the Vikings’ fortunes. The 5-foot-10 junior was second in the GMC with 238 kills and earned second-team all-league recognition during her freshman and sophomore years. “She’s kind of our go-to player in the front and in the back. I think she’s kind of the heart of this team,” Sloane said. “I feel ev-
erybody kind of looks up to her because she’s such a strong presence on the court. I look forward to seeing how much she improves…” Princeton’s future also looks bright because Haley VanSkyock should be back with Lohmeier in 2013. VanSkyock, a freshman setter, was sixth in the GMC with 423 assists. Sloane said running a 5-1 offense in the GMC is a huge task for freshman setter undertake—yet VanSkyock answered the bell. “…She just keeps getting better,” Sloane said. “I’m really looking forward to keeping her going. I think she’s going to be a huge part of this program.” Senior Jessica Boggan was also a key cog in Princeton’s rotation. The 5-foot-11 middle blocker recorded 288 assists, 95 kills and
158 digs. Sloane described Boggan as the team’s on-court leader, and added that characteristic will be difficult to replace. “She’s one of those kids who is always positive and setting an example for everybody else,” Sloane said. “She’s such a positive kind of person on the court, and she is one of the few kids that’s had to play multiple positions. That really speaks to her strengths as a player.” Sloane also credited the work of libero Dana Svensson. The senior recorded 211 digs was the heart of the Vikings’ defense, according to Sloane. With the book closed on the fall campaign, Sloane said she’s proud of what her team was able to accomplish. “Everything we’ve been working toward has really paid off,” she said. “We’re just looking for more success next year.”

WYOMING — Less than a year after approaching a perfect season, the Wyoming girls volleyball team is embarking on another fall tournament run. It was Nov. 3, 2011, when the Cowboys brought a 26-0 record into Wilmington High School to face Alter. Unfortunately, after five games, Wyoming came up short in the regional semifinal. This season, Wyoming got their loss out of the way with an early defeat at Lakota East Aug. 25. They lost again at McNicholas Sept. 29, but still finished the regular season 20-2. The postseason victories thus far have come against Batavia, Clinton Massie and Tecumseh. The win over Tecumseh gave the Cowboys a Division II district title. It also set up a rematch with Kettering Alter at Wilmington on Halloween night, Oct. 31. Same team. Same gym. The Cowboys will look to advance past the regional semifinal for the first time in school history. “We’ve come a long way this season,” Wyoming coach Julie Plitt said. “They’ve come together and gelled.” This season, Plitt is counting on their tough schedule and a faster offense to keep the Cow-
boys on the road to the Nutter Center at Wright State. “We run a one-ball out of the middle, we run a 31 and we run some back ones,” Plitt said. “We present four solid hitters. At any given time, we have two great hitters in the front row the setter can pick from.” Defense has also been key for the Cowboys, with junior Natalie Burchard’s play standing out at libero. Burchard sets up junior setter Kelsey Maxwell, who sets up Wyoming’s “high flying four” of senior Tatiyana Ali, junior Jessica Leish, sophomore Madi Maisel and junior Megan Schneider. “The blockers on the other team have a hard time figuring out where we’re going to set the ball,” Plitt said. “Because of that, our hitters can hit away. Kelsey (Maxwell) is doing a really nice job of mixing it up so we can have a strong offense.” Of Plitt’s “pounders” on the plywood, the 6-foot-1 Leish has already committed to Indiana. At 6-foot-4, Maisel is attracting interest ranging from UC to UCLA. Senior Ali is another who should get a shot in Plitt’s opinion. “She’s an undersized (5foot-9) solid player,” Plitt said. “Her size makes people nervous and they don’t really trust that See VOLLEY, Page A9

she can touch 10 feet until they come and watch her. I feel like she’s going to end up going someplace.” The missing link to the Cowboys could be 6-foot Megan Schneider, who missed most of last season’s run due to a broken wrist. “She’s been a force in the middle,” Plitt said. “People have a hard time returning her ball. It has a nice trajectory to it where if you get your hands on it, it’s sailing out of bounds. She’s so quick with her arm swing that it’s hard to read.” Now fully loaded, Plitt is hoping last year’s experi-
ence will give her Cowboys the extra edge. “This year I’m hoping we can bring another level,” Plitt said. “We’ve seen all of the teams we would face until we get to the state final four.” In particular, she envisions a rematch with McNicholas in the regional finals. “I think that outcome could be a different game, even though we lost to them,” Plitt said. “We’re going to be a better team when we play them. I’m not sure they’re going to be ready for us.” If anything, the Cowboys and their coach exude confidence. Five of her girls were on the floor in the stretch run last year and four have been there the previous three seasons.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Getting the facts straight
As a veteran, businesswoman, and mom, my commitment to public service drives me. I must debunk the wildly inaccurate, misleading claims from my opponent. The biggest whopper is that I voted for an $8 billion budget deficit. This is impossible: unlike Washington, Ohio cannot print money. We must balance our budget. Period. Increased spending and cut education? False. Check the real numbers from the Legislative Service Commission. The bi-partisan budget I supported cut spending by $2 billion, protected education funding overall, and helped Ohio recover from the recession. Ohio newspapers debunked this standard political attack in 2010 because it used double accounting, local taxes and
federal pass-through money – not state tax dollars. What you may not have heard is that budget cycle ended with a surplus and state tax revenues grew by $2.8 billion. Ohio’s unemployment rate’s dropped from 10.6 percent to 7 percent since July 2009. More jobs and a stronger economy? I definitely support that. Lastly, my opponent claims I increased taxes. Again, not true: check the tax tables. Ohio income tax rates remained the same from 2008-2009-2010 and went down in 2011. A bipartisan bill to protect education funding delayed the tax cut until 2011. Reasonable people can disagree about this decision, but distorting the truth by saying I increased taxes isn’t fair to Ohio voters. Connie Pillich State representative
Sponsorship joyride must end Ask the Army how much it spends to recruit and train a soldier from the time that individual first walks into Jean Schmidt a recruiting COMMUNITY PRESS station until he GUEST COLUMNIST or she has finished basic training and a course of advanced training. The answer is easy to find: $73,000. Ask the National Guard what it gets for the $72.3 million it spends on professional sports sponsorships and the answer is considerably less precise. I like auto racing, and my family has had a long and happy association with motorsports. My father, the late Gus Hoffman, started an auto racing team in 1929. It used to field cars at the Indianapolis 500, and it continues to compete in U.S. Auto Club events. I helped out with that small family business. I know what it costs to race each week, and I recognize the great need for good sponsors. So I’m not out to pick on people who like fast cars. I like them, too. I have never believed that tax dollars should be spent on sponsoring a sporting event. I believe members of Congress should be trying to save taxpayers money, not squandering it. We are facing a budgetary crisis. Right now, our nation is about $16 trillion in the hole. The federal deficit has been more than $1 trillion annually for the last four years, and
President Obama’s budget projects annual deficits averaging $750 billion over the next 10 years. Clearly, it is time to do something different. Congress needs to take a hard look at how we’re spending your money. It must be willing to pull the plug if that money is being spent in a way that doesn’t give us the most bang for the buck – no matter who it might offend. That is why I was so disappointed when the House refused to end the practice of U.S. military sponsorship of professional sports. The vote was 216 to 202 against ending the program, which began back in the early 2000s in an attempt to find ways to increase military recruitment. It is time to end the experiment. According to recent reports, the National Guard is spending some $26.5 million this fiscal year to sponsor a NASCAR race team. This sponsorship has resulted in an impressive number of inquiries – 24,800. Only 20 of those inquiries were from qualified candidates, and none of those potential recruits actually joined the National Guard. Many people might look at this vote and see it as insignificant. After all, $72.3 million seems small when compared with a debt nearing $16 trillion. But, we didn’t get so far in debt over night. And as we look to tighten our belts, every penny counts.

County economic reality County government is an administrative arm of the state and has prescribed duties. It is a limited form of government intended to provide specific services. We should work together to determine how best to do them instead of trying to imagine new initiatives which are not required and are not part of the purpose of county government. Our current fiscal problems are the direct result of county administrations extending themselves well beyond required duties for at least the past 20 years. While voters approved a half-percent county-wide sales tax to build two sports stadiums, I don’t recall a massive, largely publicly funded new residentialrestaurant complex between them as being part of the deal. Yet The Banks took on a life of its own, egged on by Enquirer editorials and various downtown promoters. The general idea was
that we are somehow incomplete without (a) lots of people living downtown and (b) various specialty restaurants near Dusty Rhodes COMMUNITY PRESS their abodes. It was never GUEST COLUMNIST explained why the county had to assume responsibility for developing the city of Cincinnati’s riverfront. Nor was it ever made clear why encouraging people to live there was a government duty. What that has meant to taxpayers – in part – is millions of dollars to a private law firm, outrageous loans and subsidies to restaurants and over half a million dollars to an “inclusion” consultant. A county that last year was able to find $2.75 million to “loan” to a country-western bar is now planning on lay-
ing off 300 employees and drastically cutting state mandated services, our real job. The county may not be able to incarcerate or prosecute criminals, schedule court cases, do proper accounting, or respond to financial information requests from local governments and school districts but we sure can guarantee that a favored few can get a subsidized condo on the riverfront and drown their sorrows at a taxpayer funded bar at The Banks. A memorable moment during the past decade was the public meeting when one of our county commissioners grandly announced, “We are going to create our own economic reality here in Hamilton County.” They certainly have. Dusty Rhodes is the Hamilton County Auditor.
CH@TROOM Oct. 24 question What is the scariest movie you ever saw or scariest book you ever read? What made it so scary?
“The scariest movie that I have ever seen is a reality movie that I would call 'Life in the United States.’ It is reality-based and a true horror. I have never been so disappointed in the choice that I made four years ago to be a part of this unbelievable frightmare. "We continue to spend money that doesn't exist. We continue to rob future generations of the choice of a college education due to costs that no one can possibly afford. If one is fortunate enough to get out with no debt they can look forward to a dismal job market. We believe statistics and figures that have been collected utilizing such convoluted methods and justifications no one can possibly understand or comprehend them. "If life right now doesn't scare you then you truly do not live in the real world.” J.J. “What is the scariest book I ever read? That’s easy: It was called ‘Hostage to the Devil,’ and it was written by a deceased priest named Malachi Martin. It dealt with the possession and exorcism of five contemporary Americans, and it was not fiction. “The book made such an impression on me that I tried (successfully) to contact Father Martin through his publisher, and we exchanged several letters and phone calls which helped me confirm his credibility. “I have struggled with faith in the supernatural because I look for absolute scientific proof, but that proof has not been forthcom-

ing. However, this book convinced me that the devil is real – there is no other answer. If the devil is real, then so is God.” Bill B. “It’s a close call between ‘The Shining’ and ‘The Silence of the Lambs,’ but I have to give the edge to the latter. The scene where Jodie Foster is groping around in the dark basement and the psycho is right behind her wearing night-vision goggles made me jump out of my seat! A spectacular acting job by Foster!” R.W.J. “The scariest movie I have ever seen is Danny Boyle’s ‘28 Days Later.’ It was released in 2002 before the current zombie genre was in full swing, and the premise of a worldwide epidemic affecting huge populations seemed very possible, especially with talk of Ebola, SARS and other diseases in the news. “Also, I watched it very late at night in a totally dark house. After we got done watching it my friend jumped up, quickly turned on all the rooms lights, and said ‘That’s it, we have to watch ‘Old
School’ before we go to bed or else none of us will sleep tonight.” I.P. “I would say the scariest movie was back in the ’70s called, ‘The Town That Dreaded Sundown!’ Just the effects made you cringe.” O.H.R. “‘The Silence of the Lambs’ gave me the creeps. From Hannibal Lector to Buffalo Bill’s basement I was so scared I never wanted to see it again – and haven’t!” R.V. “’Pinocchio.’ Saw when just a little tyke. Had nightmares about being one of the bad boys and I would grow a donkey tail and ears. Lasted for years. “This was all due to guilt imagined and real brought about by my mother and her nun cohorts. Just wish I knew what I was so guilty about.” J.Z. “‘The Birds’ – anyone that saw this movie at the drive-in and being in a convertible should understand. I think every convertible top went up and windows closed within the first 15-20 minutes of the movie. Oh what memories, and I don’t mean from the back seat.” D.J. “The scariest movie I ever saw was the ‘Exorcist.’ Everything about that movie was creepy. I guess being brought up Catholic and their belief in exorcism made it more real to me. I don’t think there will ever be another movie like that one.” D.D.

Start the holidays by making brandied fruit Around the first week of the holiday season, my kitchen looks like I’m moving in, or out. I pull out my pantry spices and herbs and check for freshness. I do an inventory of nuts, chocolates and candies needed for holiday baking. There’s nothing worse than being in the middle of a holiday project and Rita not having Heikenfeld the right RITA’S KITCHEN ingredients. It’s the time of year there are good sales on these items, so stock up.
ON THE AIR At 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13, I’ll be talking with Tracey Johnson and Frank Marzullo on Fox 19’s Morning Xtra show about essentials needed for the holiday kitchen, including pantry staples, baking equipment, etc.

Brandied fruit starter
This is one of those recipes that creates memories and starts traditions. You need to start this within about a month before using or giving as a gift from the kitchen. This is easy and beautiful. Now if the cans of fruit are a bit less, or more, than what’s listed below, that’s OK. And packed in juice or syrup is OK, too. I used apricot brandy but plain or peach is OK.
16 oz. can diced peaches, drained (or sliced peaches diced) 16 oz. can apricot halves, drained and cut in fourths 20 oz. can pineapple tidbits, drained 10 oz. jar maraschino cherry halves, drained 11⁄4 cups sugar 11⁄2 cups brandy
Brandied fruit starter contains pantry staple canned fruits. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD. and let sit at room temperature at least three weeks before serving, stirring twice a week. Serve over ice cream or cake. Reserve at least 1 cup starter at all times. To replenish starter: To your reserved cup of fruit, add 1 cup sugar and one of the first four ingredients every one to three weeks, alternating fruit each time. I’ll taste the mixture and if it seems like it needs more brandy, I’ll add a bit. Cover and let stand at room temperature at least three days before serving each time starter is replenished.
Breakfast pizza
Fun for kids and nice for the weekend. Substitute turkey sausage if you like.
Combine everything together. Pour into glass jar or glass bowl, cover
Serves 6-8.
8 oz. can refrigerated crescent rolls 1 pound pork sausage, cooked and drained (can do ahead) 2 cups shredded favorite cheese: I like cheddar and mozzarella 5 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 ⁄2 cup milk 3 ⁄4 teaspoon dried oregano Bit of salt and several grindings pepper (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unroll crescent rolls, separating into eight triangles. Place with points toward center on sprayed 12-inch pizza pan. Press perforations together to form crust. Bake 8 minutes on lowest rack. Remove and reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Spoon sausage over dough

and sprinkle with cheeses. Combine eggs, milk and seasonings. Carefully pour over sausage mixture starting in the middle. Bake 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden.

Her interest in working with hoarders led her to develop a partnership with mental health professionals, while completing extensive training to better understand hoarding behavior. The training and partnerships allow her to expand the role of sanitarian and work with hoarders to not only clean their properties, but to also access mental health providers to
work on the core of the problem. Puthoff, a supervisor in the Environmental Health division, has been with Hamilton County Public Health for five years. Puthoff’s interest in farmers’ markets and concern for the regulatory environment governing their operations led him to publish an extensive article on standard operating guidelines for food safety at the markets. His publication was subsequently developed into an educational printed
piece for market vendors, helping them to ensure public health and safety with their food offerings through guidelines for proper storage and handling.

Why do recipes list unsalted butter, then ask for salt? The USDA lets dairy processors vary the amount of salt they add. It can be 1.5 percent to 2 percent and as high as 3 percent. You can’t be sure how much salt the butter you’re using will add to a recipe. I like using unsalted butter because it allows me to control the amount of salt in a dish. Unsalted butter is more fresh than salted, since salt act as a preservative. Store extra unsalted butter in the freezer.

Township, arts center join to keep ‘Off the Hill’ alive Springfield Township and The Wyoming Fine Arts Center have partnered to continue free Playhouse in the Park productions for both communities. There are three upcoming Off The Hill shows: » Nov. 2 with “Accidental Friends;” » Feb. 8 with “The Traveling Jekyll & Hyde Show,” and » April 19 with “Go Dog, Go.” Each show will be at The Grove Banquet Hall at 9158 Winton Road, and is supported with funding from ArtsWave. Both Springfield Township and The Wyoming Fine Arts Center continue to find ways to cut expenses and keep quality programming for their communities. The two communities
have offered identical shows within miles from one another for the past two years. This year, Wyoming Fine Arts Center director Milan Dukic, and Springfield Township staff will work together to build even larger audiences and share resources for hosting, marketing and staffing the event at The Grove Banquet Hall. “Any engagement with our neighboring communities serves to improve our overall value for all residents,” Springfield Township Trustee Tom Bryan said. “This opportunity with the fine arts is a great starting point. This is evidence that our neighbors in Wyoming share the same beliefs.” “The Wyoming Fine Arts Center is excited to combine efforts with
Springfield Township in bringing Playhouse in The Park to both communities,” Milan said. “While sharing in costs, this series will provide a great opportunity for our residents to enjoy the highest level of familyfriendly theater productions free of charge. This effort shows how good communication and planning between neighbors cannot only increase cultural offering to both of our communities, but also be financially responsible and avoid unnecessary programming redundancies.” Playhouse in the Park began the Off the Hill program as a way to bring professional, family-appropriate theatre into Greater Cincinnati neighborhoods.

different plays to thousands of audience members of all ages in various communities. Playhouse in the Park education director Mark Lutwak said, “Two of our more enjoyable partners in this project have been with Springfield Township and with the Wyoming Fine Arts Center. Each community shares a passionate belief in the importance of the arts for their residents and they’ve taught us how special and different each neighborhood can be. This affects the very flavor of our performances, as well as the social outreach experience around the shows. I look forward to seeing what the two of them can accomplish by working together. I suppose that the sky is the limit.” Each Playhouse production hosted at The Grove will be accompanied by a pre-show or with an introduction to a different art form. The first show, “Accidental Friends” scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, will highlight the talent within high school theaters. Mount Healthy, Winton Woods, North College Hill and Wyoming high schools will each perform a three minute excerpt of their upcoming fall play. Each school will also host a table at the event and have tickets to their shows on sale.

We live in an area which is known for very cold winters. Our facility is nearly 7000 square feet in area. When we began to utilize the first unit we were amazed to see how even the heat was for the entire living room area. We ordered a second and a third unit which now warms the entire home. Much to our surprise we are saving over $250 a month and had the lowest expense for heating we have ever experienced here. I would heartily recommend your products to anybody who is interested in really nice, even heat in their home and also interested in saving on their utility expenses. Dennis Crystal, Troy, MT (Retired Airline Pilot)
Enclosed you will find printouts of our electric bill and gas/heating/cooking bills for 2007 - 2008. Our gas company, AmeriGas, stated that more money was saved than would show up because of the cost going up. We would turn the gas on early in the morning and turn it down to 60 degrees; We would use the EdenPURE ® heaters from then on and they provided such warmth and cozy heat. Many of our friends have informed me recently that they are going to purchase these heaters for their homes this winter. Gloria D. Smith, Boydton, VA (Retired Elementary Principal)
EdenPURE reopens Ohio factory creates 250 new jobs ®
New models shipped direct from warehouse at 49% savings Richard Karn, North Canton, Ohio I was fortunate enough to attend the grand opening of the new EdenPURE ® factory in North Canton, Ohio. The new plant brought hundreds of new jobs back to Ohio and reversed the common practice of sending Midwest manufacturing jobs to China. Now, EdenPURE® continues to ramp up production for the coming Winter with exciting new models and hundreds of new employees as this Made in America success story continues to grow. American Labor, American Quality With over 3 million portable heaters sold EdenPURE® is the best selling portable infrared heating system in North America. However, like any classic, EdenPURE® has dozens of would-be competitors who create Asian copies at low prices using cheap, foreign labor. Don’t be fooled by these imitations. Look for the EdenPURE® logo and the Made in North Canton, Ohio stamp. Save like millions of others on your heating bills and say “NO” to cheap foreign imitators. I spoke with Neil Tyburk the Chief Designer and President of EdenPURE ®’s North Canton plant who is very direct in his beliefs. “We have better designs, better materials and a better work force. We can kick their butts in production and quality. The only advantage they have is cheap labor.” Save up to 49% on 2013 EdenPURE®s Now readers can save up to 49% ($229 the largest savings ever on new EdenPURE ®s). EdenPURE ® is not just the best-selling portable heating system in North America. As an EdenPURE® owner I rank EdenPURE ® #1 for quality, safety and efficiency. And now is the perfect time to save like never before on our expanded 2013 EdenPURE® line made in our brand new North Canton, Ohio facility. With two models EdenPURE ® can meet all of your heating requirements 365 days a year. We receive thousands of letters from satisfied customers who share their heating testimonials many of which you can view at our website edenpure.com. This Summer we even followed up with EdenPURE® customers from 5 years ago like Gloria Smith (see her original testimony above) who are still just as enthusiastic and in some instances saved thousands of dollars versus costly propane. Gloria Smith Interview May 20, 2012 “My name is Gloria Smith and I am a retired principal from Boydton, Virginia. I’ve been using EdenPURE® Heaters for 5 years. I think I saved at least $15,000 over a period of 5 years. And that’s proven with my bank statements because it’s documented. And I feel really great about using the EdenPURE® Heaters.” “Many people have called me from all over the country when they have seen the infomercials on TV. I’ve en-

MODEL 750
As Al Borland on Home Improvement I was the man with all the answers. However, as Richard Karn I still look for money saving and efficient heating in my home. I have an EdenPURE ® Infrared Portable Heater in my California home and like millions of others found it to be a supersafe, reliable source of portable heat all year long. joyed talking to them and I want everybody to save money in these hard economic times. I believe in paying it forward, so when you experience something good, you want to share it.” Stay Comfortable 365 Days a Year “Never be cold again” is the EdenPURE ® promise. EdenPURE® provides you insurance against the cold all year long. Stay comfortable on those unseasonably chilly evenings no matter the season. I live in California but believe me it gets cold at night. Keep your expensive furnace turned down until it’s absolutely necessary. And if we are fortunate enough to experience a mild winter as many of us did in the Midwest last year, you keep your furnace off all season and save even bigger. New, More Efficient Models The engineers at EdenPURE® listened to their millions of customers and somehow managed to improve the #1 portable heater in North America. Through old fashioned American ingenuity the new EdenPURE® line is more efficient to save you even more money. The EdenPURE® Personal Heater now heats a larger area, an increase from 350 square feet to 500 square feet. That’s a 30% increase in efficiency! And EdenPURE® is proud to introduce the 2013 Model 750. The new Model 750 is perfect for larger areas and heats up to 750 square feet. But the best thing about the Model 750 is the price. We priced the Model 750 at only $50 above the Personal Heater. This means you receive a 33% increase in performance for only $50. That’s American engineering at its best! We all know heating costs are expected to remain at record levels. The cost of
heating our homes and apartments will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. The EdenPURE® can cut your heating bills and pay for itself in a matter of weeks, and then start putting a great deal of extra money in your pocket after that. Super Safe Infrared Heat Now remember, a major cause of residential fires in the United States is carelessness and faulty portable heaters. The choice of fire and safety professional, Captain Mike Hornby, the EdenPURE® has no exposed heating elements that can cause a fire. And a redundant home protection system that simply shuts the EdenPURE® down if it senses danger. That’s why grandparents and parents love the EdenPURE®. The outside of the EdenPURE® only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets. And your pet may be just like my dog who has reserved a favorite spot near the EdenPURE ® . You see the EdenPURE ® uses infrared heat. And just as pets enjoy basking in a beam of sunlight they try to stay close to EdenPURE ® ’s “bonewarming” infrared heat. The Origin of EdenPURE® a Missouri Rancher’s Discovery American’s love to tinker. We are a nation of inventors from Benjamin Franklin to Thomas Edison. A Missouri horse breeder named John Jones was no exception. Jones lived in a large drafty old farmhouse with his family of five. They stayed warm on cold Missouri nights with an old coal furnace and plenty of blankets. Now Jones was always collecting scrap to use in his latest inventions and somewhere along the line he had picked up a large sheet of cured copper.
2. The quartz infrared lamp gently warms the patented copper heating chambers.
SYLVANIA is a registered trademark of OSRAM SYLVANIA Inc. used under license. Richard Karn is a paid spokesperson for EdenPURE®.
Jones stored the large copper sheet in his basement near the coal furnace he labored to fill every chilly morning. Jones noticed something peculiar. The coal furnace warmed the copper sheet and as the furnace cooled down the copper sheet stayed warm. In fact, the copper sheet stayed warm for many hours and heated much of the large basement. As Jones continued to develop a portable infrared heater he knew the copper was the secret ingredient that would make his heater different from all the rest. His copper heating chambers combined with the far infrared bulbs provided an efficient wave of “soft” heat over large areas. The breakthrough EdenPURE® infrared heating chamber was born. The Health Secret is in the Copper EdenPURE ® ’s engineers have taken Jones’ original concept through revolutionary changes. EdenFLOW™ technology uses copper heating chambers to take the energy provided by our special SYLVANIA infrared bulbs and distribute our famous soft heat evenly throughout the room. Now our copper isn’t ordinary. It’s 99.9% pure antimicrobial copper from an over 150 year old American owned company in Pennsylvania. Researchers have discovered copper as an antimicrobial is far more effective than stainless steel or even silver. That’s why our special antimicrobial copper is marked Cu+ and used in hospitals on touch surfaces. So your EdenPURE ® heater is continuously pushing soft, healthy, infrared heat throughout your room.

Cincinnati Chapter of Hadassah hosted its opening meeting/installation luncheon Sept. 10 at Carrabba’s Italian Grill on Mason-Montgomery Road in Deerfield Township. The group installed new President Bonnie Juran Ullner and other new board members, and thanked outgoing co-presidents Sharon Casper and Bobbi Handwerger. Juran Ullner is excited to become Cincinnati chap-
ter president. Three years ago, her youngest daughter was in Israel on a Federation trip, when Juran Ullner she fell deathly ill and was taken to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem. The doctors there correctly diagnosed Wilson’s disease and began treating her for it, while arranging
with Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York to procure a needed liver transplant. Hadassah Hospital doctors and staff flew with her in an adapted El Al jet back to the U.S. where she received her new liver. Juran Ullner began volunteering for Hadassah, and in 2010, she was a guest speaker at the Hadassah National Convention in Florida.
