Village discovery uncorks history Pieces of Glendale history are in glass by themselves By Kelly McBride

kmcbride@communitypress.com

It was a message in a bottle. A message of history for Glendale, as crews excavated the site of the village’s first landfill as part of an improvement project at the wastewater treatment plant on Sharon Road. The $6 million project, which began two years ago, unearthed treasures that have survived a century. Crews have been delivering glass bottles to the village offices, where Village Administrator Wally Cordes has been cleaning them up to showcase their unique history. “They go into preservation underground,” Cordes said of the collection of nearly 30 that have been dropped off. Among the glassware are milk bottles from Schrimper Dairy and H. Lindhorst Dairy of Reading, and Steiner Dairy of Glendale.

Other bottles include “Hits the Spot” bottle from Grand Pop and a soda bottle from Fladungs Bottling Co. in Reading. One bottle, which bore the name of Glendale pharmacist H.E. Igler, was a small elixir bottle. Another small bottle still had a cork in the top, though it was corroded. “It makes one wonder if, 100 years from now, are they going to be the source of archaelogical finds,” said Cordes. Most of the bottles are intact, though dirty, with markings clearly readable on the front and bottom. “I picture a wagon pulled by a horse as they deliver these bottles,” he said. “Whenever we can, we save items found in the village,” Cordes said. “It’s a piece of our history,” he said. “Would you have heard of A.H. Steiner if we hadn’t found

Cordes said he would clean the bottles and offer them to the Glendale history museum in the Village

Square. If they are not accepted there, he said he’ll try to display them in the village offices.

Though no council seats were up for election, and many area municipalities had no local issues to decide, residents made their way to the polls with a purpose. For some, it was a patriotic pull. For others, ballot issues or candidates brought them out on a sunny, yet brisk election day. As they left a Wyoming polling site, Nora Salazar said she voted in support of her political party, while education issues prompted Paul Darwish’s vote for governor. “The implications for education were significant,” he said. Young voters made their way to the polls, as well. Kevin Quinn said it was his second time as a voter. “It’s a new experience,” the Wyoming resident said. “I wanted to voice my opinion.” Sharonville resident Jenna Strauss, 21, had similar incentives. “I feel it’s important for us to be involved with our country and voice our opinions,” she said. Other voters were propelled by specific issues. Anthony Nims of Sharonville is a teacher in the Lakota School District, and is concerned about education reform. “I feel strongly about what’s happening in our government,” he said. “We are lucky to

It was a learning experience for several children who came to the polls with family members.

“This is an opportunity to raise public awareness regarding prescription drug abuse and to provide a way for residents to dispose of unneeded and expired prescription medication in a safe manner,” Wyoming Police Chief Gary Baldauf said. The police department and the city’s Youth Services Bureau are working together to offer the program. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, residents can bring expired or unused medicine to the police department, 600 Grove Ave. The American Medicine Chest Challenge is a public health initiative that partners with law enforcement to educate people about the dangers of prescription drug abuse, as well as provide a safe means of disposal. According to the Challenge website, a 2007 National Study of Drug Use and Health reported 70 percent of those who abuse prescription pain relievers said they got them from friends or relatives. “Drug abuse often starts with readily available prescription drugs in the home,” Baldauf agreed. The Challenge website offered several tips: • Take inventory of prescription and over-thecounter medicine; • Lock medicine chest; • Dispose of unused, unwanted, expired medicine; • Take medicine exactly as prescribed; and • Talk to children about the dangers of prescription drug abuse.

have 10 days to come to the board of elections office and correct the errors. If the difference in the votes for Pillich and Wilson is half of 1 percent or less, state law requires a recount. If the margin is greater than half of 1 percent, a candidate can request a recount, which the candidate would have to pay for, Krisel said. Pillich said Wednesday afternoon that she’s “cautiously optimistic” about her chances of winning. “I knew it would be close,” she said, “but I never dreamed it would be five votes. It certainly illustrates how important every vote is.”

Walden’s living the ‘grand’ life in Evendale In July 2009, I visited and reported about Lee and Doug Walden at their Evendale home. At that time, they introduced me to three of the most outgoing youngsters you ever want to meet. Bridget and Mitchell are brother and sister, Parker is their cousin and the trio represents 75 percent of the Walden grandchildren. To Parker’s delight, on Oct. 7, 2009, he became the proud big brother to Briley LeeAnn Bishop. This past September her grandfather was happy to report that she was 30 inches tall, weighed 231⁄4 pounds and was trying to walk. Parker is just crazy about her. The Waldens keep Briley everyday and I was finally able to meet her the week after her first birthday. I interfered with her nap time, and she was teething, so for a minute or so she was not too thrilled about

meeting a s t r a n g e r. H o w e v e r, she is such a g o o d natured baby that she soon Evelyn decided to Perkins settle down. Community The fact that my car keys Press were on a columnist wrist chain similar in color to her favorite toy helped break the ice. When you look at her, words like adorable and cute as a button spring to mind. Grandma Lee said her hair was dark when she was born, but now she is a little blonde doll. Doug still works part time for the Jewish Community Center since his retirement from General Electric. Lee is a retired teacher and they are both enjoying time with the grandchildren,

to retirement is taking your grandchildren on vacation. Bridget and Mitchell accompanied their grandparents to Canada, and you can imagine how thrilled the little ones were to see the falls.

For their 44th wedding anniversary, Lee and Doug went to Paducah, Ky., where they saw the murals on the flood walls and visited the National Quilting Museum. “Hancock’s of Paducah” (not connected with Hancock Fabrics) has 60,000 square feet of space offering everything a seamstress or tailor could desire. Lee is a gifted quilter, so she must have been in heaven. In October, Kentucky hosted a showing of horse quilt motifs from Australia and the Amish. Metropolis, Ill., is just a hop, skip and a jump from Paducah, so they decided to take a look at something that is not well known. Did you know that in 1972 Metropolis became the official hometown of Superman? Moreover, did

you know that there is an enormous steel statue of the comic book hero there? • My apologies for errors I made in prior columns.

Glendale readies for annual food drive By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Glendale officials are asking residents and their friends to help with a community outreach project that will benefit village residents in need. Members of the Police Department and Fire Department, along with a group of Princeton students, will collect food items at the Woodlawn Kroger the weekend of Nov. 13-14. Its the village’s annual

It was donated to the FreeStore FoodBank. This

year, any surplus will go to the Village Pantry. He said he hopes to see a similar level of giving this year. “Due to the economy, the need has been strong,” the chief said. “I want to continue this program for our residents.” For more news about your community, visit Cincinnati. com/Glendale.

For veterans, Princeton diploma is badge of honor By Kelly McBride

kmcbride@communitypress.com

Princeton High School is giving military veterans a chance to receive the diploma they had never earned as they served their country during wartime. The Veterans Day program, in its seventh year, will present high school diplomas to about a dozen veterans. One of the veterans had died while serving in World War II. His stepson, Richard Headen, nominated Pfc. John Morris Smith for a diploma. He was just shy of his 20th birthday when he disappeared on July 14, 1945, in Okinawa, Hawaii. Originally declared a deserter, Smith was reclassified as missing in action a year later. But it wasn’t until an Okinawan, on his death bed in 1998, confessed to being part of a group that had killed three black soldiers

KELLY MCBRIDE/STAFF

John Morris Smith, a private first class, disappeared in 1945. His remains were found 55 years later, and next week he will posthumously receive a Princeton High School diploma.

William Daniels, 92, will receive his Princeton High School diploma during a Veteran’s Day program at Matthews Auditorium.

and dumped them in a cave, that the men were found. Upon discovery of the remains,

the military identified Smith’s body through dental records and a bracelet.

“I felt that he should get honored with a diploma because he never got his,” Headen said. He also nominated his stepfather because “he was missing in action for 55 years, and because of the way the military had him as a deserter, then MIA.” “They never gave my mom knowledge for 55 years,” Headen said. “So, he should be honored.” Headen will join veterans of the World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars on stage Thursday, Nov. 11, at Princeton’s Matthews Auditorium to accept the diploma on behalf of his stepfather. Receiving that diploma means a lot to the family of William Daniels, 92, as well. One of his cousins, Robyn McDonald Gordon, is a teacher at Princeton High School, and his great-great nephew, DeShonte Grissom, is a sophomore at Princeton. “I was the first college graduate

in my family,” said Gordon, who holds a PhD. “My mom was dying of cancer at the time, and she said ‘someone in our family has a college degree. I can die now.’” “It didn’t click for me at the time,” Gordon said. In her 24th year as a teacher, she tries to instill in her students the importance of education. “It gives us options and choices,” she said. “It makes us more likely to achieve success. “He always was told he couldn’t do it,” Gordon said. “But now, he will be honored with this. “He’s really excited.” Vicki Hoppe, who helped organized the annual event, said she hopes students also take note. “It gives a lesson to our children on how important that piece of paper is,” she said. “We are proud to do this for them,” Princeton Superintendent Gary Pack said of the veterans. “This is a way to give back to those who give to us.”

SCHOOLS NOTES Veterans Day concert

Springdale Elementary fourth-graders will present the “Thank You America” concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 11, at the school. Earlier that day, the students will be singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “Thank You, Soldiers” at a special ceremony held by the City of Springdale at the Veterans Memorial. Also, Springdale’s Student Council has purchased 500 American flags that will outline the perimeter of the school grounds to honor veterans that day.

Magic show

Acclaimed illusionist Phil Dalton will present his magic show at Princeton High School’s Matthew Auditorium at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 19, and at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20. Dalton will perform such feats as: materializing from thin air, sawing himself in half while still standing up, levitating a member of the audience, squeezing a human body through a tiny hole, and producing exotic animals from nowhere.

He will also attempt an escape from a water-filled tank while chained and shackled. Advanced tickets are $10 for students and children ages 4-18 and $13 for adults. Tickets at the door are $12 for students and children and $15 for adults; children 3 years old and under are free. Proceeds benefit the Princeton Music Boosters. For tickets, visit www.matthewsauditorium.com or www.phildalton.com or call 864-1503.

Grandparents Day

Stewart Elementary will hold Grandparents Day beginning at 8:15 a.m. Nov. 19. Grandparents will eat breakfast with their grandchildren in the cafeteria and then go to their grandchild’s classroom at 9 a.m. At 10 a.m., there will be an Ohio Heroes assembly for grades three to five, in which fourth-graders will portray heroes and be interviewed by author Rick Sowash. Grandparents are invited to attend the show.

Saint Gabriel eighth-graders conducted a gravity experiment using unique contraptions to protect falling eggs. Science teacher Kristin Watson discusses the project with students Hannah Scharf and Jenna Kohlmayer.

How do objects behave when subjected to gravity? Saint Gabriel Consolidated School’s eighth-grade science teacher, Kristin Watson, posed the question to her eighth-grade classes and then encouraged her students to package an egg to be dropped from her classroom window, two floors to the black top below. Students arrived with all sorts of contraptions designed to protect their egg. Packaging included shoe boxes, bubble wrap, clay and even a Pooh Bear. In the end, approximately half of the students were successful in protecting their egg with the packaging which they designed. Students who are encouraged to participate in these hands-on science experiences tend to have a better grasp of the dynamics of the material taught in the classroom, says the school.

Donnelly on ESPN team

Northern Kentucky University’s Kevin Donnelly, a Princeton High School graduate, was named to the ESPN Academic All-District men’s soccer team, the College Sports Information Directors of America announced. Donnelly was named to the District IV second team, comprised of student-athletes competing at NCAA Division II and Division III schools as well as NAIA and junior colleges in Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan. The team honors those student-athletes who excel both on the field and in the classroom. Donnelly has been a key outside back for the Norse this season, helping to corral the opposing attack. Thanks to his hard work, opponents have been held to just 17 goals in 18 games in 2010. Donnelly, who has a 3.89 cumulative grade point average as a double-major in International Studies and Political Science, also put himself into the scorebook with three assists on the year, including two in NKU’s 4-0 win over Illinois-Springfield on Oct. 1.

Wyoming soccer delivers strong season By Mark Chalifoux

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The Wyoming High School girls’ soccer team returned only five players who played significant minutes on the 2009 state final four team, so head coach Kellie Siler thought the Cowboys would have to do some rebuilding this season. What she didn’t expect is for the Cowboys to go 13-5-3 and win a district title in the process. “We were very, very pleased with the season,” Siler said. “We graduated eight seniors from last year’s team so that was a pretty significant change for us.” Wyoming started five underclassmen (three freshmen and two sophomores) and relied on several returning standouts to set the tone early for the Cowboys. Wyoming got strong play from senior defender Nikki McKee and junior Michelle Jolson, who was the team’s leading scorer as a sophomore in 2009 and led the entire CHL in 2010 with 56 points. Freshman Kelsey Brunsman played every minute of every game as a freshman, and Siler said she was one of the pleasant surprises this season. “She was strong and very composed and didn’t play like a freshman,” she said. “She’s an excellent player.” Sophomore Abby Keller had some big shoes to fill at goalkeeper and did an outstanding job, according to Siler, as the team finished with 11 shutouts. The defense was the strength for Wyoming, especially with McKee back there as well. “She’s anchored our defense solidly for the last three years,” Siler said of her senior captain. “She’s so fast and very composed. She was very well respected by the other girls, and the whole team really

The duo was No. 2 and 3 in scoring, respectively. While defense and the team leadership were two big strengths, Wyoming was still capable of putting the ball in the net, as the Cowboys finished with 53 goals. “This team just played with such heart and passion and put it out there every single game and it was fun to watch them grow in skill and in confidence as a team,” Siler said. “I knew we would be good, but I didn’t expect to make such a great run in the tournament and to see the growth I did with all the players.” Wyoming did have a strong run in the tournament, including beating Cincinnati Country Day, Mariemont and Fenwick, each by a

score of 3-2. Siler said the success of last year’s team was a big motivator for the team and that the wins against CCD and Fenwick were two of the biggest wins of the season. “We were down 2-0 to CCD and scored two goals in 12 minutes to tie it and then had the winning goal six minutes into overtime. That just speaks volumes to the work ethic and the desire to win this team had,” she said. “In the district final we played the No. 8 team in the state, went up 2-0 and held on to win 3-2 at the end.” Siler said she thinks the team has the potential to be strong again next season as well. “The bar was set pretty high but the foundation is there for us to be a very, very successful team next year,” she said.

XC: Saunders places 7th at state By Nick Dudukovich

Princeton High School’s Claudia Saunders placed seventh at the Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I state cross country championships, Nov. 6. Saunders ran a personal best of

18 minutes, 12.40 seconds at the race, which was at Scioto Downs in Columbus. Saunders work ethic was a big reason why the senior was among the state’s top runners, according to Princeton head coach Jim Crumpler. “She’s not afraid of working hard and she’s mentally tough,” Crum-

pler said. “She’s willing to work on her own and she’s driven.” Crumpler said he spent this season getting Saunders ready to run long-distance races because she was accustomed to running shorter events during track season. “I think what she learned to do is to have a plan going into a race,

rather than seeing what happens,” Crumpler said. Saunders advanced to the state tournament by placing third at districts with a time of 18 minutes, 47.57 seconds. From there, Saunders advanced to regionals, where the junior finished with a time of 18 minutes, 31.6 seconds, and finished second.

A wrapup of Wyoming High School’s postseason ventures: • The Wyoming High School volleyball team saw its postseason run come to an end in the regional semifinals as the Cowboys fell 25-21, 25-19, 25-22 to Tippecanoe. Wyoming finishes the season with a 21-5 record. The Cincinnati Hills League champions also won sectional and district titles. • The Wyoming football team had a tough firstround pairing with a resurgent Roger Bacon squad. The Spartans overpowered the Cowboys 26-21 in the first round of the playoffs.

The visiting Cowboys were led by Kyle Seyfried, who completed 20 of 33 passes for 289 yards. Wyoming also got touchdown runs from Drew Perry, Max Kadish and Tommy Campbell. Wyoming had a late 2119 lead, but gave up a 65yard touchdown pass on a trick play late in the fourth quarter. Wyoming had won eight games in a row before the playoff loss and the 21point output was the lowest since Sept. 16. • In the state cross country meet, Wyoming standout junior Emily Stites finished No. 30 with a time of 19:17.7, narrowly missing the all-state cutoff.

The Moeller High School soccer team had one of the best defenses in the city this season, but the Crusaders defense gave up one goal too many in the regional semifinals as Moeller fell to Sycamore 3-2 Nov. 2. Moeller fell behind 2-0 early but goals by juniors Chris Nartker and Eric Radke tied the game in the second half. Sycamore broke the 22 tie in the 76th minute when Eric Stein scored his second goal of the game. While Moeller surrendered three goals to the Aves, the Crusaders defense was impressive this season, allowing only 11 total goals.

Moeller finished the season with a 13-3-4 record, GCL and district championships, and with a host of players on the All-GCL team. Head coach Randy Hurley was selected as the GCL Coach of the Year, while Crusaders junior Jeff Fuller was named the GCL Player of the Year. Luke Agricola, Raymond Roberts and Joey Veatch were named to the GCL First Team. Oliver Englehart, Aaron Gatio, Luke Guju and Chris Nartker were named to the GCL second team.

Clean-air habits equally important during winter

With the conclusion of summer and fall in full swing, it appears one of the most severe smog seasons to hit the Tristate region has ended. The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) would like to thank the residents of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky for their efforts to help improve the region’s air quality. The Hamilton County Environmental Services issued 25 smog alerts in 2010, significantly more than the three issued last year and the most since 1999. The smog alerts involved Kentucky counties of Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties, and Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, and Warren counties in Ohio. This summer the Cincinnati

region experienced recordbreaking heat, humidity and the 12th warmest summer on record. When the forecast calls for Callie high temperaclear Holtegel tures, skies, and little Community or no wind, Press guest much like the columnist OKI region experienced this past year, smog can become a problem. This is why it is so important that residents understand the causes of poor air quality and do their share to reduce air pollution. Another contributing factor to the increase in smog alert days is

the more stringent federal ozone standards established in 2008. The tightened ozone standards from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) help to protect citizens by improving air quality. The premise for air quality standards originated 40 years ago with the enactment of the US EPA’s Clean Air Act. This piece of legislation advocated reduction of smog and air pollution and has contributed to improvements in both people’s health and the environment. According to a US EPA analysis, programs such as OKI’s Do Your Share for Cleaner Air Campaign will prevent more than 160,000 premature deaths. The US EPA also estimates that in addition to protecting health and

Oct.13 question

Should people be allowed to make anonymous complaints to local authorities about nuisance properties, or should they have to give their name? Why? “I absolutely do feel that people should be allowed to make anonymous complaints about nuisance properties. “Those who maintain the nuisance do not consider or respect the ordinances and zoning of the area. Due to this, they do not consider or respect their fellow citizens, and are often openly hostile to any comment concerning their activities or condition of their properties. “Why should an affected citizen subject themselves to this risk, when the activity is unlawful, a nuisance to all, and the offender is potentially a bully that uses retribution tactics towards anyone detected to have reported their inconsiderate activity? “For example, it appears that the few feel entitled to disregard building permits and neighborhood zoning laws for their lowered expense and personal profit.

This is to ensure peaceful enjoyment of residents, and the property values and appearance of the neighborhood. Authorities have a responsibility to protect innocent parties by enforcement without implication of innocent parties. “We cannot permit loud, noisy, commercial contractors conducting business activity at their ‘home’ in residential zoned areas. “Residents should be prevented from storing unlawful vehicles in front of houses to avoid paying for legitimate storage.

Wintertime open burning and idling cars to warm up, along with stagnant air and dry weather could lead to particulate matter based, winter smog alerts in the OKI region.

Early stretched itself out on on we collect posters of our our own bed and favorite celebrity, buy their announced that it is songs, and even discover a here to stay. girlfriend or boyfriend we “Suddenly … that blush to tell others about. which was unapWe feel exciting urges in our bodies, begin to date, Father Lou proachable becomes and eventually dream of the Guntzelman that which cannot be gotten rid of. What day we’ll marry. Love is Perspectives was most glamorous equated with sexuality and and exciting seems to seen as a Happy-Maker. Not until much, much later do insist, now, on being the most we find out what love really is. ordinary thing in the world.” Marriage presents us with a Some of us never find out. One of life’s best opportunities to teach us very important question. It’s a about real love is marriage. That’s question similar to the query because when we get married, about the dog chasing the car: What happens if he catches it? love itself comes to live with us. Now the question for us is: In “The Mystery of Marriage,” author Mike Mason says, “That What do we do with love – or perthing we have been chasing ever mit love to do to us – once we since we were old enough to think we have finally caught it? For those unacquainted with believe (however naively) that it

love’s ways, marriage can eventually come to be seen as a trap or an imprisonment. Certainly, in our youth, we always hoped love would come and live with us. But we imagined its chief task would be to make us happy and fulfill all our romantic fantasies ever after. Yet – sooner or later – the love that lives with us begins to seem erratic, unpredictable, less exciting or even disappointing. We begin to quietly wonder if this really is love who came to live with us, or is it an impostor. Many spouses are actually surprised to find out what love can be like underneath its charming exterior. Of course, love knows more about reality than we do. And the younger or less formed we are, the less we suspect love’s actual agenda. Even if it tried to tell us, it would sound too mysterious or

preposterous. Thankfully, Joseph Campbell put it into words for us: “I think one of the problems of marriage is that people don’t realize what it is. They think it’s a long love affair and it isn’t. “Marriage has nothing to do with being happy. It has to do with being transformed, and when the transformation is realized it is a magnificent experience. “But you have to submit. You have to yield. You have to give. You just can’t dictate.” Happiness is never a permanent state. Remember, happiness is commonly compared to a beautiful butterfly that can’t be caught, but occasionally alights on our shoulder. Happiness is elusive, our transformation increasingly becomes permanent. It is all about our enlargement and growth as a person. Yet, to be honest, enlarge-

ment generally comes only through suffering. But if we’re willing and working accomplices, transformation brings with it increased consciousness and wisdom. These invariably arise out of conflict and the tension of opposites. In marriage, love has quite a job. It has two sets of consciousness and unconsciousness with which to work, two egos and two hearts, and two lives to raise up to human heights and fulfilled potential. Maybe the dog doesn’t know what to do with the car it catches up to, but love knows what it wants to do with the two lives with whom it lives.

Be cautious when buying rehabbed homes With extremely low interest rates and a glut of homes on the market, this is a great time to buy. But, you need to beware of homes put on the market through foreclosure. Some have been rehabbed before being put back up for sale and, unless you’re careful, you could be buying a big headache. Erin Bohannon-Chenault learned rehabbed homes can come with lots of problems. She and her husband thought they were getting a good deal on a house in Fairfield. “All we know is it was a rehab and they had fixed it up. From what we knew everything was new. They said they had put in new appliances, new water heater – that’s what they had told us,” she said. At first glance everything looked great, but then they hired a home inspector. “There was a big prob-

lem with the wiring and the electricity. It was going to be dangerous if they fix Howard Ain didn’t it,” she Hey Howard! said. Another problem was the gas line in the fireplace. “They were supposed to yank it out or at least shut it off. We found out they didn’t do that because we had a gas leak,” she said. As a result, several family members were sick for days. Another gas leak was also discovered at the newly installed water tank. Despite having a home inspection, BohannonChenault discovered she couldn’t use their new washing machine because the plumbing in the house was bad.

“One of the drains is actually broken even though the property disclosure form says everything is fine,” she said. Bohannon-Chenault said she’s learned she cannot rely on the homeowner disclosure form. The form also said there was no water leakage in the basement but a close inspection revealed not only had a leak been repaired but there were other leaks that had not been fixed. “Here I thought this was our dream house. We’re a young couple and it’s just been a nightmare since we moved in,” BohannonChenault says. She’s now looking for an attorney to see if she can get out of the purchase because she says there are so many undisclosed problems. Repairs to the house will run into the tens of thousands of dollars. As I see it, part of the problem was all the people

That’s a conflict of interest because the inspector may believe he or she has to give the home good reviews in order to keep getting recommended by the real estate agent.

Ahoy, sea foam candy recipes are on the horizon and when I put the baking soda in the cooked mixture, it foamed up and I was in awe of the way it looked. That little candy making experiment gave me a lifelong curiosity of food

When I was little, one of the first candies I attempted to make on my own was called “sea foam candy.” I know it contained vinegar, sugar and baking soda, among other ingredients,

So when Elena Dye asked for a sea foam candy, I thought it was that one, but was wrong. Elena described a different kind of candy altogether, almost like a divinity/praline type candy that you see in the South. Well, I have the best readers and the recipes came pouring in! I’m sharing two, and there’s more in our online version (along with memorable stories) from Sharon Cummins, an Anderson Township reader; Karol Kennedy’s mom, (who colored hers with a drop of green food coloring); Pat Perry Cornell, whose recipe is from an older Southern cookbook; and Janice Wallace, a longtime Northern Kentucky reader. I haven’t tried these yet myself, but plan to.

Ellen Meece’s sea foam candy for Christmas

Ellen, a Madeira reader, said she has been making this for 50 years and her daughter, Sherry, always reminds her to be sure to make it. 2 egg whites, room temperature (large eggs) 2 cups light brown sugar, packed 1 ⁄2 cup granulated sugar 1 ⁄3 cup white corn syrup 1 ⁄2 cup water 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 ⁄2 cup broken walnut or pecan kernels Put egg whites into a large mixing bowl. Put all other ingredients (except vanilla and nuts) into a 3-quart saucepan, stir thoroughly and place on medium heat. Boil to hardball stage (256 degrees) do not stir, but with a pastry brush dipped into cold water frequently wipe sugar crystals down sides of saucepan. Just wipe the sides of the pan, do not add more water to syrup. Remove from heat to cool, while beating egg whites until stiff, then slowly add syrup, beating in thoroughly. Continue beating at

slower rhythm, until past sticky stage and candy begins to get creamy and hold shape. At this point, add nuts and vanilla, stirring to blend. Quickly drop in mounds on waxed paper using teaspoon. Ellen’s tip: Do not undercook syrup. Also, be sure candy reaches creamy stage. (The candy will lose its shiny texture). One must work quickly when spooning the candy into mounds.

excellent) Put sugars and water into saucepan, stir until well dissolved, add syrup and cook to 252 degrees, or hardball stage. Put slowly over beaten whites. Beat until mixture is light and fluffy and piles up without spreading. Add vanilla and nuts. Drop by spoonful on waxed paper.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Hardball stage is between 250 degrees to 265/266 degrees. Mixture will form a hard ball when dropped into cold water. If you take it the ball out, it won’t flatten. It will still be hard, but can be squashed a bit.

Properly Dispose of Unwanted Medication On Sunday, October 24 at approximately 9:30pm, someone driving on Devonwood Drive in North College Hill placed a white, shaggy twelve-pound Maltese dog named Archie Griffin in their vehicle. To the person who did this – we understand you did not know where Archie Griffin lived and you were trying to help him. We found out you asked our neighbor if it was their dog. They said no. You were one house away from finding the right house. Archie Griffin lives with a family in North College Hill. The little white dog is adored and loved, especially by two children who received Archie Griffin as a Christmas present three years ago. They have been through a period of grief and would like you to return Archie Griffin to his home. We understand you have cared for Archie Griffin for more than a week now and may have become attached to him yourself. We will give you a cash reward for helping Archie Griffin return home safely. Do not fear: you will not be punished for keeping him. You will be thanked for helping the dog. You will be happy when you see Archie Griffin and the children reunite.

Please call 513-262-8952 to arrange to return Archie Griffin and receive your cash reward. He is missed by two children who love him. Thank you. CE-1001603557-01
