When Glendale’s Cynthia Kuhn Beischel was a little girl living in Clifton, the Virginia Bakery played a huge part in everyone’s life. In the 1980s she approached the owner’s wife about doing a book about the bakery’s history, but the time was not right. It was a blow to Cynthia when they closed in 2005. SEE LIFE, B1

Honoring veterans

Princeton High School’s annual Veterans Day celebration has taken off in a new direction, with donations to the Honor Flight Network. This year the school will contribute to a program created by Earl Morse, a retired Air Force Captain. In 2005, six small airplanes flew out of Springfield, Ohio, with 12 World War II veterans on board for a trip to Washington, Buschman D.C. As the list grew, the veterans were taken to visit the war memorials and other sites on commercial airliners. The flight, which includes several cities, costs about $800 per passenger. “But the veterans are not charged a dime,” said Dana Zinnecker, Princeton’s Key Club adviser. “My dad and his best friend went on this trip four years ago.

Horror takes over Andrew and Kimberly Adkins’ front yard in Springdale. The life-size killers remind passersby of characters such as Chucky, Scream, Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers.

Scary awareness campaign

Family’s decorations lead to an important message

A Springdale house that welcomes visitors, if they dare, with a bloody trail and mutilated body parts also challenges those visitors to learn about a goulish illness that affects about 5 million Americans. The seasonal graveyard boasts Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Chucky, Scream and even Thriller. The life-sized figures appear to be headed for the street from Andrew and Kimberly Adkins’ front lawn, dragging victims and even their own mutilated bodies along. Andrew Adkins has been adding to the crowd for about six years. “When we moved in I had one dummy,” Andrew said. “It was a pirate and I sat him on the porch.” Now his yard is filled with about a dozen life-sized killers and monsters, with headstones and cobwebs peppering the graveyard. A rat hangs onto the fence after his snack. Andrew creates his Frankensteins using a pole for height, then packing foam wrapped in tape to form the body. “I pose it whatever way I want,” Andrew said. He adds masks, dresses them, and bloodies them as needed, sending them into the yard, where they appear to be headed to unsuspecting homes nearby. It takes five days to assemble the scene, and a day to take it down. “It’s easier coming down than putting up,” he said.

Andrew Adkins, left background, prepares to meet his doom. He built the figures using packing foam, poles and costumes.

Each night, he turns on strobe lights and a fog machine, donning a costume himself. He poses in the yard for the dozens of nightly passersby, jumping out to scare them and humor himself. Do his neighbors mind the increased traffic? “Every year they ask me, ‘When are you going to put the guys up?’” Andrew recounted. The trail of cars became so thick that the Adkinses posted a note on their mailbox that welcomes visitors to roam the graveyard. Each year, Andrew said, he’s seen more and more trick-or-treaters, and his candy count topped 400 in 2009, with 600 expected this year. But there’s a catch. “They have to come here to get the candy,” he said, pointing to his porch. The graveyard separates the street from his porch. “Quite a few stand up on the street and won’t come down,” Andrew said. “One girl even dropped her bag and ran one year.” For those who dare to approach the house, there is another message: “I scare you to ask about gastroparesis.” Kimberly suffers from the illness that’s characterized by “impaired transit of food from the stomach,” according to the website www.gpawarenessfund.com. The causes vary, and Kimberly is afflicted by idiopathic gastroparesis, for which there is no known cause. The banner over the porch is to bring awareness to the illness. “It shuts the stomach down,” Andrew said. “It’s very painful for her.”

Wyoming tackles middle school issue By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Wyoming’s Board of Education hung another poster praising the district’s 11th year of being rated Excellent with Distinction, as the high-rated school system tackles a challenge of historic proportions. The district is weighing its options of either renovating Wyoming Middle School or building a new school. “We’re trying to wrap our arms around what we have to do,” said school board President Todd Levy. Wyoming Middle School, on

the National Register of Historic Buildings, was constructed in 1927. More than 600 students in grades five through eight attend the nearly 102,000-square-foot, three-story building. Though the entrance hallway is framed in marble, and the stairways are elegant, an Ohio School Facilities Report filed in 2008 showed that the building is in need of extensive repairs. “The electrical system for the facility is inadequate,” according to a report posted on the school district’s website. “The facility is

equipped with a non-compliant security system. “The facility is not equipped with an automated fire suppression system,” the report states. “The building is reported to contain asbestos. The overall building is not compliant with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessibility requirements.” “The classrooms are undersized in terms of the current standards established by the State of Ohio,” it said. The district’s superintendent’s adviser committee will continue to study the issue.

Princeton project bridges gap between lecture, hands-on learning

By Kelly McBride

kmcbride@communitypress.com

Princeton High School has bridged a physics lesson and engineering class with a project that required students to use the information used during lecture to complete a hands-on product. The project in Brian Lien’s Engineering Your Future class used concepts of torque, compression and tension, among others. The students followed a program from the West Point Bridge Design Contest. That competition was created to provide “a realistic, engaging introduction to engineering,” according the military website. It incorporates problem solving, engineering design and information about truss bridges. To begin, Lien’s class studied the truss designs, then each student created five designs and chose one to present for the project. In groups of three or four, they chose one design and drew it to scale. Then, the group built a bridge using balsa wood and glue. They had to track their supplies, documenting the cost to build the bridge. The test came when the students balanced the bridge between two desks, affixed a hook and hung a bucket, which one student filled with sand, one cup at a time. When the bridge snapped, the sand was weighed so see how strong the structure was. But the heaviest weight wasn’t necessarily the most efficient bridge. They calculated the cost to build divided by the weight it supported and came up with the bridge’s efficiency. Here’s how they fared: • Michael Roy, Alec Osborne, and Austin Harris: cost was $36,100,940, weight held was 14 pounds, so efficiency equaled $2,572,281. • Deshaun Whaley, Jhalil Croley, and Nick Walz: cost was $15,119,960, weight held was 8 pounds, so efficiency equaled $3,014,995. • Alex Moseley, Ken Austin, Leon Lehmann: cost was $81,009,950, weight held was 24 pounds, so efficiency equaled $3,375,414. • Mike Trainor, Ulises Gutierrez, and De'Arius Young: cost was $26,937,850, weight held was 23 pounds, so efficiency equaled $1,172,776. “For efficiency, this is how

Princeton issues statement after GOP mailer sent By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Princeton City School District officials have issued a statement after a political brochure was sent to residents of the school district. The mailer, sent by the Ohio Republican Party featured Princeton Schools with information about the race for State Representative of the 28th District, which pits Mike Wilson against Connie Pillich. The high school had allowed the League of Women Voters to use Matthews Auditorium for a debate on Oct. 20. The statement posted on the Princeton website reads: “A political campaign ad featuring Princeton Schools, mailed earlier this

week, might have misled some residents to think Princeton was involved in its production. “The front-page text of the mailer began ‘In the Princeton City School District.’ “The district does not condone our inclusion in the campaign material, and the district does not endorse political candidates. “We thought it was important to share this information with our Princeton families and community residents.” Superintendent Gary Pack stressed that the focus “has to get back to being about kids, not politics.” “Regardless of the outcome of this race,” Pack said, “we’re hopeful that school funding will finally get the attention in Columbus that it deserves.”

The project combined engineering lessons and speaking skills, using a Power Point presentation. It combined the academics of science, math and English with the hands-on application of engineering. “It’s the wave of the future,” Lien said. “We will see less lecture and homework and more lecture

Mike Trainor examined his group’s design on the computer

studying how the bridge broke. “I see torsion where it spun to break,” he said. He noted that the bridge broke in the middle of the road bed. “That’s typical of the West Point design,” Lien said. Then they discussed ways to make the structure stronger.

The Wyoming High School girls’ volleyball team has one of its deepest teams in years and the Cowboys capitalized on that by not only winning the program’s first sectional championship, but also the program’s first district championship. Wyoming downed Chaminade-Julienne 25-17, 25-19, 25-20 Oct. 30 to advance to the regional tournament Nov. 3. Wyoming faced CJ earlier in the season and was defeated soundly, but head coach Julie Plitt wasn’t surprised to see her Cowboys pull out the victory. “I knew we were a much better team now than we were at the start of the season and this team showed it,” Plitt said. “Our first game (in the district match) was flawless. We had perfect passes, perfect sets, great hits. An all-around awesome game.” Wyoming was in the district match after winning a sectional title with a victory over Clinton-Massie, 25-15, 25-22, 17-25, 27-25 on Oct. 23. “It was a pretty close

match,” said head coach Julie Plitt. “They had two strong hitters and good complementary players but we came out on fire in the first two games. It was a battle to close it out, but it was a huge sigh of relief when it was over. The girls were very excited.” Plitt said Wyoming has had good teams in the past but hasn’t been able to get over the sectional hump until this season. Wyoming also won the CHL title with a perfect 14-0 league record. Plitt said the team camaraderie is what helped push these girls over the top. “They get along so well and are great friends on and off the court, which makes them easy to coach,” she said. “Our non-starters are just as good as our starters, so that depth makes every practice feel like a game and they just push each other and complement each other so well. “The leadership on the team has been great this season, our senior leaders (Taylor Weiss and Bridget Bowling) have done such a good job,” Plitt said. The team also has “six solid hitters, four great

passers and two setters,” according to Plitt. Emily Fraik, Tatiyana Ali and freshman Jessica Leish have been some of the standouts for the Cowboys. “We don’t have a weak link,” Plitt said. “We’ve had some freshmen really step up this year and get the job done when called on.” Plitt said the Cowboys have a strong junior class and that she expects the success from this season to carry over to next season. “They just have a passion for the game and will continue to play in the offseason and will follow in the footsteps of this year’s leaders.” Overall, Plitt said this is the best high school team she’s ever coached. “We’ve had a lot of talented girls in the past and a lot of great teams, but as a group, everything seems to be working with these girls and they will go down in the memory books as one of the favorite groups,” Plitt said. Wyoming (21-4) advances to play the winner of Tippecanoe v. McNick in the regional tournament at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 3, at Wilmington High School.

Princeton’s Saunders on to state By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

A pair of Princeton High School cross country runners – junior Claudia Saunders and senior Sam Heaton – performed at the Division I Regional Championship Oct. 30 at Troy. Saunders, who placed sixth at the state meet last year, will return to Scioto Downs after a runner-up finish at regionals (18:31.6). She advanced to regionals after finishing third at districts (18:47.57). “She expects a lot out of herself, so she was a little bit disappointed,” Princeton head coach Jim Crumpler said of the district run. “But I told her almost every girl out there would've done anything to run the race she ran, and she felt a little better. But at this point, it's all about advancing and getting back to state.” The State Cross Country Championships will be Nov. 6 at Scioto Downs Race Track in Columbus. The Division I girls’ race is the last of the day at 2:50 p.m. Meanwhile, Heaton, who finished 16th at districts, fell short of state; he finished 83rd overall (17:41.4) at regionals, as only the top 16 advance. Heaton had hoped for state this year, but Crumpler said the two-time regionalqualifier and three-time AllGMC performer has meant a great deal to Princeton’s program.

Princeton’s Claudia Saunders is one of the top runners in the area and had a strong performance at the district meet. “Sam offers a lot of inspiration for the kids and serves as a role model,” he said. Both Princeton squads had their best race of the year at districts. The boys, which totaled 196 points, finished seventh behind La Salle (33), Elder (48), Lakota West (77), Ander-

son (88), Turpin (129) and Loveland (182). The girls (207) finished eighth behind Mason (27), Kings (62), Sycamore (74), Mother of Mercy (101), Oak Hills (115), Seton (161) and Mount Notre Dame (191). As teams, the boys finished seventh at districts and the girls finished eighth; only the top four teams advanced to regionals. Senior Marcus Donaldson (17:11.51) finished 28th overall. “He started looking like the runner I thought he'd be when he was a freshman,” Crumpler said. “But there were some injuries (along the way) and it took him awhile to get his feet underneath him. I was talking to him (the other day), and I told him I'd love to have two more weeks with him. We might have been able to get him (to regionals) with Sam.” Junior Lindsay Myers (20:58.04) finished 32nd overall, while freshman Kelsy Petersman (22:26.10), junior Jada Grant (23:21.50) and sophomore Samia Bell (23:36.90) showed the most improvement. The girls return all their starters next year, while the boys return juniors Matt Smith, Antonio Graham and Alex Osborne, as well as sophomore Matthew Salatowski and freshman A.J. Lohmueller.

The Glendale Design Group is a collaboration of, from left, Sherri Kohnle, owner of LePetite Cottage; Brian Smith and John Smith, owners of Smith Jewelers; and Kathleen Kissing, owner of Unique Custom Cabinetery. The store in the Glendale Village Square sells unique gifts, art, jewelry and custom cabinetry.

Businesses share site in Glendale kmcbride@communitypress.com

It was a gem of an opportunity, according to Smith Jewelry owners John and Brian Smith. The family-owned business, located in Glendale for six years, had a chance to combine with two other business owners to form a group that offers related products and services. The store, at 21 Village Square, has housed LePetite Cottage for more than three years. Inside the store, Kathleen Kissing offers unique cabinetry, which can also be found at www. uniquecustomcabinetry.com. So when the door opened, John Smith and his son Brian Smith, who own Smith Jewelers, moved around the corner from the location it had occupied for eight years. “We wanted to be more visible, facing the square,” John Smith said of the move. Sherri Kohnle sells unique gifts, furniture and art at the store, where the displays constantly change depending on what she finds during her purchasing trips throughout the country and overseas. She also specializes in

interior design. Kissing consults on cabinetry for the kitchen, as well as other storage needs. “We all serve the same demographic,” Brian Smith explained. “It’s somebody who doesn’t want storebought stuff. They want unique gifts and services.” “And this way, it’s triple exposure,” Kissing said of the three businesses. The addition of Smith Jewelers also increases the store’s manpower on the premises, since Kohnle and Kissing are often off-site, providing consulting services to clients. The businesses are separately owned, though work in collaboration as the customer’s needs require. They agree that the strength of the group also shows in their commitment as residents of Glendale. “We live here, work here, and are part of the village,” Kohnle said. “It’s something special to have custom services by local residents.” That brings a dedication, as well, Kissing said. “We’re going to stay with you throughout a project,” she said. “The personal aspect is key,” John Smith said. “You build trust and confidence.”

When Glendale’s Cynthia Kuhn Beischel was a little girl living in Clifton the Virginia Bakery played a huge part in everyone’s life. In the 1980s she approached the Evelyn owner’s wife about Perkins doing a book about the bakery’s history, but Community the time was not right. Press It was a blow to Cyncolumnist thia when they closed in 2005. The Virginia Bakery was well known for its Schnecken (a delicious German treat), so when owner Tom Thie leased their Schnecken recipe to Buskin Bakery a couple of years later Cynthia called to thank him for bringing it back. He agreed to collaborate with her on a book about his family and the bakery’s history, as well as sharing delicious recipes. Cynthia’s ancestors are from Germany’s Black Forest, so the project was dear to her heart. She did the research and writing and Tom got busy scaling down recipes so that people can make their favorite items at home. Neither job was easy. They produced “Virginia Bakery Remembered” which is brimming with recipes, vintage photographs of the business and how the Thie family came from Rhaden, Germany, to start a bakery in 1906 at the corner of Liberty and Dudley Streets in Cincinnati. Wilhelm “William” Thie was the first family baker in Cincinnati and Tom’s great-grandfather. Grandfather, William “Bill” opened the Clifton bakery in 1927 while his parents remained downtown. The 1937 flood forced them to move to the Clifton location on Ludlow. The bakery reached national acclaim under Bill when he was the president of the National Retail Bakers Association. Bill’s two sons, Howard and Paul, ran the business. Tom is Howard’s son and represents the fourth generation of Thie bakers.

Everyone worked as a team, including the wives. Bill’s wife, Myrtle, did the bookkeeping. Howard’s wife, Cindy, became a well-known cake decorator as did Tom’s wife, Maureen (Moe). Their daughter, Carly, says she knew how to tie a bakery box before she could tie her shoes. The book has helpful baking tips and an entire chapter is devoted to Schnecken. A very rich pastry, Tom jokes that it is butter and sugar and just enough flour to hold it together. He kindly brought me one, and folks, it is beyond divine. Cynthia remarked that gorgeous color photographs of various confections in the book makes you want to take a bite right out of the pages, and she wasn’t exaggerating. Photographer Kristin Ungerbrecht did a wonderful job. Cynthia spoke with more than 150 former customers, employees and assistants of Virginia Bakery, and their stories are included in the back of the book in their own words.

The book also lists employees from over the years as well as contributors to the project. Mark your calendar, because the Glendale Authors Event will be this Sunday, Nov. 7, at the Harry Whiting Brown Scout House on Sharon Road, from 2-5 p.m. You’ll enjoy talking with Cynthia and other Glendale authors, reviewing approximately 35 past and present authors, and browsing through over 80 books on display.

Farm, council forming partnership ahopkins@communitypress.com

AMANDA HOPKINS/STAFF

Vicki Foster, left, marketing and events manager for Gorman Heritage Farm, and Mike Swofford, director of program and support services for the Dan Beard Council, Boy Scouts of America, have worked together to create a partnership between the organizations since the Boy Scout council moved into a building adjacent to the farm in 2009. One of the gifts from the council to Gorman Heritage Farm was the pavilion that is seen in the background.

Good neighbors can make moving into a new neighborhood worthwhile. That’s what Gorman Heritage Farm and the Dan Beard Boy Scout Council in Evendale are finding out since the Scout council moved in adjacent to the farm in 2009. “It’s a nice merge of space,” Gorman Heritage farm marketing and events coordinator Vicki Foster said. “We’re learning about each other to know what the other needs.” Foster and Mike Swofford, director of program and support services with the Dan Beard Council, said

the two organizations have developed friendships and working relationships that have made it possible to share space. The two groups share parking space for events and are working on creating programs at the farm that would benefit Scouts. Swofford and Foster said the farm can help teach the Scouts different aspects of farm life, gardening, soil and water conservation, fish and wildlife management and other farm and nature related topics. The Scouts earn badges in many areas to continue to advance in the scouting program. Swofford said Dan Beard Council employees come to the farm on lunch breaks to

get a change of pace from the office. Farm employees and board members have used some of the council meeting rooms. “It’s really a good benefit for both of us,” Swofford said. The farm also has benefited from increased attendance, and from Eagle Scout projects that improve some farm functions. Foster said

the Scouts have built a new fire ring, added amphitheater seating at the campfire, built a new shed and put in a new compost bin. The Dan Beard Council also built a covered pavilion on the farm property when it first moved in, which Foster said has doubled the space for campers and other guests at the farm. Foster and Swofford are working, along with members of both organizations, on other ways to improve the partnership. Plans are in the works for a formal dedication of the pavilion and creating more family programs, “We’ve really only scratched the surface (of the partnership),” Foster said.

A short course in an unpopular topic – morality There’s little interest in determining morality today – i.e. the goodness or wrongness of our choices. Our society has carved out its own principles for determining morally good or bad actions. Some of them are: “If it feels good, do it”; “Something is good or bad depending on whether you think it is good or bad”; “Whatever can be done, is OK to do.” But! Suppose Hitler felt good about exterminating so many Jewish people. Suppose what can be done (slipping a knockout drug in a woman’s drink to rape her) leads a man to conclude it’s OK to do, she’ll never remember anyway. Suppose you’re a financial wizard and figure out a way to develop a huge undiscoverable Ponzi scheme and you think it is an ingenious masterpiece. Are all such instances, and countless others, good or evil? How are right and wrong determined? There’s not a different morality for each century. Humans are always humans, and their minds, bodies and possessions are always their own and very precious.

After m u c h s t u d y, prayer and reflection, theologian Thomas Aquinas believed Father Lou that there Guntzelman are three Perspectives factors to be considered in determining moral matters. And all three must be good for our choices to be morally good. The three factors are the objective act itself; the subjective motive of the person choosing and doing the act; and the situation or circumstances. 1) THE ACT ITSELF. Certain acts are universally recognized by civilized people as contrary to human nature and its dignity. Therefore, these acts are objectively wrong. They are acts such as murder, rape, stealing, abuse, injustices; etc. Civilized societies enact laws to define these bad acts, protect others, and teach that associated acts are wrong. A person’s motive may be good, but the act is wrong.

Such a situation has produced the principle, “The end never justifies the means.” We’re not to choose a bad act in order to accomplish a good purpose. I can’t steal from you to enable me to give to charity as a philanthropist. 2) MOTIVE. This is the subjective factor of morality. The subjective factor is the reason in the mind of the person choosing the act. When people claim that morality is subjective, they’re partially right. But they are wrong if they think all morality is determined solely by their motive, that what is good for them is bad for somebody else. Besides having a good intention, I must choose good actions to carry our my good motive. 3) CIRCUMSTANCES. Situational factors often change. So, to do good we must examine our proposed action, and our motive, in light of the existing circumstances. For example, we might want to give money to a poor family (a good act) to alleviate their children’s hunger (a good motive.) But we’ve learned from a very credible source, or from

our own experience with that family, that the money is rarely ever used for food for the children but to support the drug habits of the parents (the circumstance.) The good act and the good intention are adulterated by the bad circumstance of the parents’ addictions. Of course, many times various circumstances are unknown to us, or they vary so much that it becomes ambiguous and difficult for us to render a correct analysis. We just have to do the best we can in assessing circumstances. Trying to be a moral person is not to stifle us. Morality exists to respect others, promote the common good, and coincide with our nature. Too strict a morality crushes the life out of a human. Too little morality crushes the humanness out of life. It makes ordinary people the pawns of powerful people, and leaves all of us trying to defend ourselves, our children and our property.

More than meets the ‘fry’ with these potato recipes Sometimes what looks like the simplest recipe turns out to be the most challenging. That’s what’s been happening in the kitchens of my editor, Lisa Mauch, and my friend Tink Stewart, a Clermont County reader, as well. It all started with Lisa’s request for potato fudge that she remembered from her Amelia High School days. Lisa graduated in 1990 and Ken Stewart was her botany teacher. “Mr. Stewart was such a nice teacher, and I loved when he brought us potato fudge that he made.” Lisa

recalled that Mr. Stewart said it was easy. Since I’m friends with the Stewarts, I asked Tink to check it out for me with husband Ken, but he couldn’t remember an exact recipe, only that he bought a small potato, boiled and mashed it and added “a lot” of confectioners’ sugar. He made this into dough and rolled it out, then spread it with peanut butter. The final confection was a pinwheel type of candy. Lisa found several recipes and tried making it, but no luck. Tink tried it and had trouble rolling it out. Since I joke with Lisa that I

owe her lots of favors for her excellent editing skills, I told her I’d try and develop a recipe since she had such fond memories of it. Well, I did and I’m sharing it today. (I’m also even now with Lisa and the favors.) Another Clermont County reader, Gladys Rabenstein, had a recipe for potato chip cookies, so Lisa and I decided to have a potatothemed column. You’ll have fun trying these out.

Potato fudge/ candy/pinwheels

For the mashed potato,

just boil a potato in water. 1 ⁄2 cup plain mashed potato, any kind. Keep warm after mashing 2 teaspoons vanilla Up to 11⁄4 pounds (or a bit less or more) powdered sugar Creamy peanut butter, room temperature While potato is still warm, pour in 1 pound of sugar. Start beating. It will look really dry at first but keep at it. When you see some moisture beading up on the lumpy dough, add additional sugar until you can roll it out easily. This will depend on the kind of potato (I used red). Don’t add too much more at a time or it won’t roll out. Add more sugar as needed. I used about 11⁄4 pounds. Dough will look lumpy. Roll out on powdered sugar dusted surface to 1⁄8 inch. Trim into rectangle and spread peanut butter on top. Starting at short end, roll up. It may crack a bit, that’s OK. Cut into slices and store in fridge. Bring to room temperature before eating.

The goal of the project is to debut 15 sculptural pieces of functional, public art beginning May, coinciding with National Bike Month and ArtWorks 15th anniversary. Two P&G brands, Pantene and Clairol, Kroger and Duke Energy Convention Center are among the first to sponsor an Art Rack. Additional project support is provided by Truepoint Financial and individuals across the community. Proposed locations for Art Racks include Northside, Price Hill Kroger, Hyde Park Kroger, and two locations downtown. “We are excited about the early support of the Queen City Art Racks program,” said Tamara Harkavy, executive director of Art Works. “We have at least nine more funding

opportunities along with a number of creative proposals from artists. We are now looking to close the funding phase and move to the creation phase of the project.” Nine sponsorship opportunities remain. Sponsors have the opportunity to select an artist and recommend a location for their Art Rack. Sponsors will be prominently featured on a permanent plaque installed adjacent to each Art Rack, and will receive acknowledgement on additional project collateral. Strategic locations for bike racks are recommended by the city of Cincinnati in conjunction with the citywide bike plan.

The church is kicked off its Honduras Project Oct. 30. Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez will preside over the Good Shepherd 8:30 a.m. Mass Thursday, Nov. 4. There will be a reception as well. Rodriguez is the first cardinal in history from Honduras, is considered by many to be the leader of the Latin American Church, speaks seven languages, is on a campaign for human rights and reducing poverty in the world, brokered peace accords with rebels and led rebuilding efforts after a natural disaster and serves on various commissions revolving around justice, peace and reducing world debt. Former first lady of Honduras Mary Flores will speak at three Masses at Good Shepherd the weekend of Nov. 6-7. The church’s goal is to raise $450,000 before 2013 to help enrich the lives of children and families living in a remove, impoverished area of Intibuca, Honduras. The church will interact with their friends in Honduras in joint-faith sharing and development, help build a new bilingual elementary school, establish a new parish in Santa Lucia, travel to Honduras to meet their new Catholic brothers and sisters and help faith formation students connect with the children of Intibuca. For details, call Deacon Mark Westendorf at 489-8815 ext. 718. The church has Roman Catholic Mass with contemporary music Sundays at 4 p.m. Good Shepherd’s contemporary music Mass is a little livelier, a little more upbeat, but remains grounded in the traditional Roman Catholic liturgy. Worshipers will recognize popular Christian worship songs by artists such as Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman and Tim Hughes, as well as familiar Catholic liturgical hymns played to a livelier beat. At key points in the service, Contemporary Mass Music Director Bruce Deaton and his band strike up energetic praise music that has the congregation singing and clapping their hands. The Mass draws worshipers of all ages. Come early to get acquainted with the new songs which begin at 3:45 p.m. Stay after Mass on the first Sunday of each month for food, fun, and fellowship. The church is located at 8815 E. Kemper Road, Montgomery; 5034262.
