Neighbors Who Care Maybe they delivered a home-cooked meal when you were under the weather, or helped you with yard work. They are “Neighbors Who Care,” and we think they deserve recognition. Again this year, The TriCounty Press will devote one of our holiday issues to honoring those in the community who have given a bit of themselves to make the lives of others better. No deed is too small (or too large). If you know a Neighbor Who Cares, tell us about them. You can nominate by sending an e-mail to tricountypress@communitypre ss.com, or by regular mail to Tri-County Press, Neighbors Who Care, 394 Wards Corner Road, Suite 170, Loveland, Ohio, 45140. Include your name, address and phone number, as well as theirs.
Collections
In the next few days your Community Press carrier will be stopping by to collect $2.50 for delivery of this month’s TriCounty Press. Your carrier keeps half of this amount along Boggs with any tip you give to reward good service. This month we’re featuring Joey Boggs, who attends Princeton High School and is a member of the cross-country team and the marching band. Boggs enjoys singing and talking to his customers on his paper route. For information about our carrier program, call circulation manager Steve Barraco at 2487110, or e-mail him at sbarraco@communitypress.com.

The hours are from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays; and from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
As the holiday shopping season approaches, several Wyoming businesses have prepared carefully, balancing the tough economy with holiday flair. The shops in the 500 building of Wyoming Avenue have struggled in the tight economy, and are hoping their inventories of unique gift items at budget-friendly prices will boost business. Patty Pfahler, who owns Patina at Home, 500 Wyoming Ave., has carefully selected items. She sells furniture items that she has refurbished, as well as home decor items. This season, she has stocked gifts such as antique door knob wine stoppers, hurricane lanterns and vintage items, such as silver coasters and decanters that have been repurposed. “These are one-of-a-kind,” Pfahler said. “Some are from estate sales.” “I recycle and repurpose things,” she said. “That’s what this store has always been about.” The costs range from $20 to $30 for the home decor items.
KELLY MCBRIDE REDDY/STAFF
Choo Choo’s Children and Baby stocks children’s toys and features locally made items such as Fuzz Cuzz hats for about $40 and kits to make a doll-sized quilt for $21.

Pfahler has stocked gift items such as antique doorknob and golf ball wine stoppers and repurposed silver and glass items. Most are priced from $20 to $30.
KELLY MCBRIDE REDDY/STAFF
Patty Pfahler, who owns Patina at Home in Wyoming, has selected her holiday inventory carefully in light of the tough economy. “I also stock items made by local artists, to support them,” Pfahler said. Other shop owners stock the creations of local artists and vendors, as well. Next door, at Choo Choo’s Children and Baby, 502 Wyoming Ave., owner Kristan Pruitt has filled her shop with toys and other items for babies and children. Among them are FuzzCuzz hats, made by Jenni Huss of Cincinnati. The caps cost an average $40, depending on size. She also sells Make a Quilt Set, a kit for doll-sized quilts. The $21 kits assembled by Wyoming resident Janice Weiser contain most items needed for the project. Pruitt hopes her unique inventory will help her stand out from the big-box vendors. “I feel it’s important to give artisans the chance to display their vision,” Pruitt said. “I put careful consideration into the selection of toys I sell and look at safety features, quality and overall fun factor.” Down the street, at Art Resource Team, owner Inez Baird is offering smaller, less expensive artwork. Framed prints run about
$60, or a shopper can pick up an unframed piece for $20. She also sells jewelry, dishes and bookmarks. She, too, hopes the unique nature of artwork and the affordable price will attract shoppers. “You’re supporting the local artists,” Baird said. “It’s important to shop local. “Plus, you’re saving gas,” she said of the short trip to the Wyoming Avenue shops. Pfahler said she tried to balance her holiday orders. “With the economy and people being price conscious, we have things from about $10 and up for unique gifts. “And they’re affordable.”

Recount needed in Springdale Council introduced to art Evendale council race program that paints a different picture
By Amanda Hopkins
ahopkins@communitypress.com
A recount will be conducted in the Evendale Village Council race. The Hamilton County Board of Elections certified election results Nov. 21, but a recount is needed for the Evendale Village Council race because four votes separate the candidates for the third and final open seat. Christian Schaefer and Stiney Vonderhaar secured two of the three seats open on the Village Council with 865 and 864 votes respectively after absentee and provisional ballots were added to the unofficial results from the
Nov. 3 election. Doug Lohmeier and Jeff Albrinck are still in contention for the third seat – Lohmeier with 799 votes and Albrinck with 795. Because the vote is still so close a recount is required after the results are certified on Nov. 21, according to Board of Elections officials. Election officials will schedule the recount, which is required to be conducted five days after the results are certified. Once the recount is complete, the results will need to be certified again. Evendale Village Council is scheduled to swear in the council members for their new terms on Tuesday, Dec. 1.

By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
Springdale City Council was introduced to an organization that opens the world of art to artists with disabilities. Visionaries and Voices, housed inside Frame USA on Northland Boulevard, is where “outsider art is always in,” according to the group’s Web site. The Visionaries and Voices artists create, display and sell artwork at Frame USA, as well as other locations in the Cincinnati area. Neil Hartman, who works with the nonprofit organization, described the program to council, and encouraged the public officials to visit and meet the artists. “We all have a disability,” Hartman said. “Just because you’re disabled, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a wonderful talent that can be shown. “You look past the disability,” he said. “A lot of them have been shunned throughout society, but at

He created the artwork as part of Visionaries and Voices, housed inside the business on Northland Boulevard. our place everybody’s equal.” Councilman Randy Danbury has visited Visionaries and Voices several times. He thanked Frame USA owner Dan Reginold for providing the space to the nonprofit. “Some of the art is unbelievable,” Danbury said. “These people are so proud of what they’ve done.” All of the artwork is for sale, and shoppers can often meet the artists during workshop time at the store. During the Nov. 17 meeting, Councilman James Squires reported on the city’s efforts to reach out to those in need during the
holiday season. Springdale Offering Support, or SOS, has identified 39 families so far for the holiday program. Council is asking residents to sponsor or recommend a family, or to make a donation of new clothing, toys, other gifts, or even their time. Donations of unwrapped gifts are due at the Community Center Friday, Dec. 11. A wrapping party will take place Tuesday, Dec. 15, and gifts will be delivered to the families on Wednesday, Dec. 16, and Thursday, Dec. 17. Those who want to help can call the Health Depart-
ment at 246-5275 or Police Officer Marsha Bemmes at 346-5774. “This has been a very successful program every holiday season,” Squires said. The city is also looking for canned goods donations. Due to budget constrictions, the Police Department won’t offer its Food for Fines program, in which those who committed certain traffic infractions could pay out fines by donating canned goods. Non-perishable food items will be added to holiday food baskets for the families.

Among the increases were a $5,000 hike in the city’s paramedic contract with Lockland and Lincoln Heights, to $13,500. Also increased were annual contracts for local organizations, such as the Wyoming Women’s Club, which previously held a $1,000 yearly pact. The new fee structure is set at $19.68 per hour, “so they’re mixed in with the regular rentals, and are comparable to those same rates,” said Recreation Department Director Missy O’Brien. Daily fees for pool admission increased as follows: adults to $8 from $7; kids to $6 from $4; and seniors to $6 from $4. City Manager Bob Harrison offered another reason for the daily fee increases. “Our purpose is to try to encourage (seasonal) memberships,” he said. The Recreation Department also has added three new programs for 2010. They are a preschool program, Nuts About Nature camp and a yoga class. 0000370076

Anniversary community meeting generates excitement Moeller High School recently held its 50th anniversary community planning meeting. “This event generated lots of great ideas and excitement for celebrating our upcoming milestone,” principal Blane Collison said. “Moeller first opened its doors to 197 freshmen in the fall of 1960, and we will officially kick off our celebratory year July 24, 2010.” “Our 50th anniversary will be something special for all the members of the Moeller Family and surrounding community,” said Bruce Buckley, the school’s 50th anniversary chair. “We are planning several events in the attempt to connect with all the people who have helped make Moeller the unique place it is. We encourage the whole community to join us and help us make this celebration memorable.” Moeller has already scheduled its 50th anniversary kickoff celebration. On July 24, the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra will per-
form for the community. This family-oriented event will be free and open to the public. “We’ll encourage people to come and bring their blankets and lawn chairs and just enjoy this festivallike celebration,” said Debbie Geiger, Moeller’s new advancement director. “We plan to have all kinds of food booths, anniversary memorabilia, and other forms of entertainment. We may even have some surprises in store for the evening. It will be the perfect way to kick off this very special year.” Other events scheduled include a monthly speaker series for alums, a major 2010 Homecoming celebration (which may involve a parade, road rally to the football game, alumni band, antique car show, golf outing, tailgate extravaganza and more) and a closing dedication Mass at Good Shepherd in May 2011.

For the first time since 1998, the Wyoming High School football team is heading to the state semifinals. The Cowboys dispatched Springfield Shawnee 14-7 in the Division III Regional Final at Welcome Stadium Nov. 20. “Our D played very well,” head coach Bernie Barre said. “Our defensive kids were probably a little quicker than them.” Wyoming is 13-0 for the first time in school history. The Cowboys took a 7-0 lead on a 7-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Kyle Seyfried to senior running back Isaiah Nearor in the first quarter. Shawnee tied the game on a 1-yard touchdown run with 8:24 left in the fourth, but Wyoming answered just 20 seconds later with a decisive 64-yard touchdown reception by senior Spencer Herbst. “They were playing us pretty tight, and (Seyfried) called that one,” Barre said. “We got the ball after the kickoff and he said ‘Let’s run it.’”

were behind again very quickly. So that was a big emotional letdown for them.” Wyoming had a 337-191 advantage in total offense, as Jibreel Black and defensive lineman Tony Davis imposed their will on Shawnee; the duo combined for 2.5 sacks and 13 tackles. Wyoming advances to play Columbus St. Francis DeSales (10-3) in the state semifinals Nov. 27 at a site to be determined. DeSales defeated Bishop Watterson 24-10 in its regional final after trailing 7-3 at halftime. Wyoming, which won a Class-AA state championship in 1977 and finished as state runners-up in 1975, has already set a school record for most playoff wins in a single season with three. The Cowboys defeated Eaton 34-32 in the opening round before knocking off Eaton 14-7 in the second. Wyoming is scoring 35.5 points a game while holding opponents to just under 12 per contest. Seyfried has led the Cowboys; he has thrown for 3,269 yards and 39 touchdowns and has the same number of rushing touchdowns as interceptions – six. Nearor has rushed for 1,067 yards and has scored 17 touchdowns (15 rushing and two receiving). Meantime, the wideout trio of seniors Harry Meisner and Evan Aleshire and junior Jonathon Tighe has combined for 32 touch-

The Stallions fell 21-14 to Youngstown Cardinal Mooney, which also advanced to the Division III state semifinal and is 13-0, and they have a 28-25 loss to Anderson and a 34-24 loss to Elder at The Pit – two Division I teams playing in the regional final. “They’re excellent,” Barre said. “They played a great schedule, and they are very, very good. We’ll have to play our absolute best game to be in it with them. Hopefully we can make enough plays to pull it out, but it’ll be difficult.”

Athleticism, guard play key for Princeton By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Princeton High School girls’ basketball team won’t have a lot of size in 2009-2010 but the Lady Vikings will have solid guard play and plenty of athleticism. “We’re going to be a lot like we were last year,” head coach Jill Phillips said. “Not a ton of size but athletic.” The Vikings graduated some key players but still return five players that either started or played significant minutes. Chief among those players is Mikell Chinn. The senior point guard led the GMC in steals per game and was

second in assists per game in 2008-2009 with 4.2 and 3.7, respectively. Phillips said having her back in the fold to run the offense will be a big help. “She is just a competitor,” Phillips said. “She gets us going offensively and will push the ball and make things happen. On defense, she sets the tone and never gives up on a play, ever.” Princeton also returns their leading rebounder, Karen Nelson. Nelson averaged 6.2 rebounds per game and was among the top 10 rebounders in the conference in 2008-2009. One problem for Princeton will be overcoming the Vikings’ lack of size. The

defensive pressure,” Phillips said. “We have to press the other team’s guards as much as we can so they
can’t get the ball to the post players.” Building team chemistry will be the most important factor for Princeton as it was chemistry that helped make the 2008-2009 team a formidable force. “We had Brianna Sanders early last year before she retore her ACL, so they were forced to learned how to play without her being a scorer,” Phillips said. “If we come together and the kids believe in each other and play hard we can have that chemistry again.” Princeton was 15-6 in 2008-2009 and finished third in the GMC. Princeton has a tough schedule, including early games against Colerain, Mason and Sycamore, and the Vikings also play conference favorite Lakota West. Princeton also has a swing of games against tough competition in Northern Kentucky. “Every night in the GMC you have to come to play and then the Northern Kentucky teams we play are usually strong, so we have

Church preservation rooted in history On Nov. 10, I got a double dose of history when I attended the Glendale Heritage Preservation annual meeting at Christ Church Glendale. Outgoing president Ralph Hoop called for a vote to elect Jack Buescher the new president (his second term) and the incoming slate of trustees and officers. Jack is also vice president of the Depot Museum operations. Jack related a brief background of the Glendale Heritage Preservation. In 1974, Cincinnati Bell wanted to raze a home on Laurel Avenue to expand its switching station. The community uproar reached all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court where it lost the case. Dorene Gove suggested that Glendale had historical value that would protect it from such an action. She organized, documented and worked with the Ohio Historical Society and the U.S. Park Service, obtaining National Historic Landmark status in 1976. Dorene is a trustee and still active after 35 years. The Glendale Heritage Preservation maintains an extensive history of the community. It encourages Glendale families to
share personal histories for inclusion in its library. Christ Church Glendale’s deacon, Laura Chace, is a retired archivist from the Cincinnati MuseEvelyn um Center.

Active at Christ Church Cathedral, he desired to establish an Episcopal church in Glendale. The first Episcopal service of 10 communicants was held in a private home in 1865. Jones was elected senior warden. A resolution passed to call Rev. Pradt for two years. Jones expressed fears in his journal that the church wouldn’t grow under Pradt’s leadership. Vestry members donated $1,000 to build a temporary 40by-40 wooden structure and in 1867 welcomed a new rector. The cornerstone for a perma-

Do you plan to participate in “Black Friday” shopping the day after Thanksgiving. Why or why not? If so, how early do you go?
“No. Because I am a man. Men seldom shop for anything other than beer. That’s why we have wives. And I can get beer anytime at a good price.” B.B. “This year, unlike previous Black Fridays, I’ll be the designated babysitter so the really serious ‘shop until you drop’ members of the family can be door-busters. Of course it depends on the specials that stores offer. Hopefully the economy doesn’t put a damper on it.” R.V. “Don’t plan to go and have never been. To most men, shopping is as much fun as a prostate exam by porcupine. Shopping on Black Friday would be like parachute jumping into a razor wire fence top. It’s unthinkable.” F.S.D. “No, I have no desire to get up before the sunrise, go out into the cold, fight the crowds, all to save a few dollars – not for me! I’ll take my time joyfully finding the right gifts for my loved ones.” M.P. “Black Friday is a day for me to avoid even if they have overly media hyped sales, specials, and bargains. “This is nothing more than difficult parking challenges, long walks, standing, waiting, and gratuitous spending for ‘gotta have’ items that after the season will most likely hold miniscule value. “Stay home. Spend quality time with those that you love and love you!” Harried Holiday Humbug “Can't go this year and am bummed. Love getting up at 4 a.m. and store hopping with my
daughters and friends. Used to find great buys on things I didn't know I needed and couldn't find a place to store or a good recipient. In recent years I don't go to shop; I go for the fun. It's a Festival for Shoppers!” S.J.P. “I started taking mild blood pressure reducing medication about six months ago. Shopping on Black Friday would NOT be a great idea for me. Besides, my kids will be in town and that time is precious. 'Nuff said!” M.M. “What a great tradition Black Friday is in America. I actually remember when it wasn't called Black Friday, but the biggest shopping day of the year. It takes many people to prepare for the day from the retailing side of things, from the planning and buying to presentation, hiring of extra sales people to staffing a very long day. The economy, or lack of, has caused havoc for retailing in general. I hope you'll be able to join the millions that will try to hit the stores to take advantage of the bargains the day after Thanksgiving. Drive safety, be courteous and keep joy in your hearts.” E.E.C. “My wife gave me a choice of either sliding down a razor blade banister into a pool of salty iodine, or going shopping on Black Friday. I’m taking the slide.” J.J. “I would not subject myself, wife or any other loved one to early morning shopping on ‘Black Friday.’ My personal experience follows working third shift at a very large 24-hour store in Eastgate. No thank you, I’ve seen too much. The yellow and black ‘crime scene tape’ is cut down in designated sales areas and total mayhem follows. It’s sorta like another potential tragic ‘Who Con-

With this said, ‘Merry Christmas’ and please appreciate the reduced fruit cake bought on Christmas Eve.” J.W. “No way! I can't stand the long check-out lines and limited parking! I do most of my Christmas shopping online these days. I usually find the best prices online and often get free shipping.” R.K. “I always do although I buy less each year. It is more about the experience and kicking off my holiday shopping than it is about getting it all done. I find a few great bargains every year that make it worth getting up at 5 a.m. on my day off.” J.H., Florence “I may participate this year in Black Friday although I have usually worked in the past and would not have wasted a day off. However, with economic changes I am definitely going to be looking for bargains and will be out the door by 4 a.m. if not before. I am nuts!” N.C. “No, I do not plan to shop on Black Friday. I plan to shop as little as possible. If I have to shop, I prefer to do it at a time when others are not shopping.” G.G.

Fort Hood’s opportunities Of all the misfortunes that could have befallen humanity, this may be up there with the worst. It was not the greatest in the number of senseless deaths. Nor was it an act by an indoctrinated and uneducated foreign terrorist. It gives rise to a mistrust of educated and supposedly loyal fellow Muslims. To their credit, the Muslim communities quickly expressed horror at the atrocity. As the events unfold we will learn more. Hopefully, the truly observant Muslims will explain to their radicalized coreligionist that of the 114 Surahs in the Qur’an 113 begin with the words: “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.” The meaning seems quite clear. When one strictly follows a religion, one adheres to the lessons in the Holy books. To make my position very clear. I consider myself as an agnostic theist. I believe in God, but question the tendency of mankind to create God in whatever image re-enforces their beliefs. This gives me the ability to respect any religion based on the value of their humanitarian principles.

Humanity is at a critical crossroad. We can destroy each other in senseless wars that our vastly different religions would spawn or we can validate our religions by working together peacefully to create a better world for everyone. The choice is clearly toward toleration and cooperation. No matter which representation of God we believe in, we would be acting as the many Holy Books require. My sincere hope is that we turn this tragedy into a beginning of good will among all peoples. If this occurs, those dead will not have died in vain.

I may not get to work in the toy-making room with the festive elves. I may not get to ride through the crisp cool air with him on the big night. However, I still believe that I have the best job of all as Santa’s helper for the Community Press. I’m a part of one of the most cherished Christmas traditions – Letters to Santa. What a wonderful gesture, children of all ages and walks of life sitting down with pen (or crayon) in hand, sharing their holiday The Letters to Santa are in the little authors’ own words. Just the way Santa likes them. Any letters received after the deadline and not published here have been forwarded to the North Pole. Thank you to all who wrote letters. Merry Christmas!

Dad melts my heart. This strong belief in Santa should make all of us feel better about life. In a world so full of skepticism, it’s refreshing to see how many children remain faithful to their belief in Santa. The letters mean a lot to Santa, too. He treasures every last drop of ink! The letters make Santa feel good and it makes all his hard work worthwhile. So, thank you to everyone who submitted a letter and a very Merry Christmas!

Text-messaging God on Thanksgiving Day (To be prayed alone or with others before the main Thanksgiving meal.) Lord God, as children of our culture we are seldom at peace with what we have. We are more conscious of what we do not have and believe our happiness will come from having more. We gather together today, however, to thank you for all you have given us and for all that others have given us. Help us each day to take delight in the simple things of life, appreciate the love of those close to us, and
acknowledge how fortunate we really are. W e r e c a l l today the of Father Lou words the GerGuntzelman man mysPerspectives tic, Meister Eckhart, who said, “If the only prayer you ever say in your life is ‘Thanks!’ that will suffice.” He knew that to genuinely experience gratitude,
we must realize first of all that we have received, from whom we have received, and that ultimately every good thing in our lives comes from a beneficent God. So, for reasons known only in the stillness of our grateful hearts, each of us can our own the following Thanksgiving Day prayer:
O Divine Giver of Gifts
I stand beneath an endless waterfall of your abundant gifts to me. I thank you especially
for the blessing of life itself, the most precious of all your gifts to me. I thank you, Ever-Generous One, for clothing to wear, for food and drink to nourish my body, for books and music, for the ability to give and receive love, for all the talents and skills you’ve bestowed upon me. I thank you for the many joys of my life, for my family and my friends, for work that gives me a sense of purpose and invests my life with meaning.
I thank you as well for the sufferings and trials of my life, which in a paradoxical way, are also your gifts- and which, together with my mistakes, are among my most important teachers. I thank you for all my deceased relatives and friends who, over many generations, have contributed in unimaginable ways and helped bring me to this day and to become the person I am. Grant that I may never greet a new day without the awareness of some gift
for which to give your thanks, O God. And may constant thanksgiving be my song until I sing it forever in your heaven of endless gifts and love, Amen Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at s or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.
Be alarmed if you haven’t tested your security system Many people have home security systems to protect them in the event of a fire or break-in. But, if you have such a system, when was the last time you checked to make sure it is being properly monitored? If it’s been awhile, you could be in for a rude awakening. John Witmer of Florence relies on his security system to not only sound an alarm in his neighborhood but call the police or fire department if necessary. “We moved here in 1989, and we had the alarm system installed when we moved in. The house had already been hard-wired for it, so we just activated it with the Rollins Company,” said Witmer. The contract called for continuous monitoring of the alarm system at a
monthly cost of $26. “We know it worked because one of our neighbors Howard Ain came in Hey Howard! one time with a key, inadvertently while we were gone, and the police and fire department showed up to harass her – so we know the system functioned,” he said. In 1997, Security Link took over from Rollins and four years later ADT bought them out. “The only contact we had with ADT – they made a phone call and asked us how we wanted to be billed, a check deduction or send a bill, and we wanted a bill,” Witmer said.
They continued to receive and pay monitoring bills for eight years until, “A couple of weeks ago my wife inadvertently bumped into our emergency medical button and the alarm went off in the house,” Witmer said. They turned off the alarm and called ADT to say it was a false alarm.“We called, they answered and said, ‘What event.’ Well, one thing led to another and we started testing the system,” Witmer said. The problem is, although ADT was now billing Witmer, the alarm system was still programmed to call a now non-existent phone number at Rollins. So, although ADT was billing for monitoring, it really wasn’t able to receive the call. Witmer says he’s learned a valuable lesson.
“We were just flabbergasted to find out we weren’t being monitored,” said Witmer. Because so many years have elapsed since he signed that Rollins contract, there’s no documentation to show which type of monitoring service plan Witmer had signed up for – the company periodic testing or customer testing.
ADT has now offered to refund some of Witmer’s money, put in a new system, and provide three years worth of free monitoring. Bottom line, no matter which company you have, you need to have periodic tests of your home security system to make sure everything is working. But first call the alarm company to say you’re

Rita’s kitchen T h i s year, because of the economy, a lot of us are facing challenges we never had before. But remember, whether your table is laden with food or more meagerly set out, contentment is not the fulfillment of what you desire, but the realization of how much you already have, and the most important things are not “things.” Have the best Thanksgiving ever!

Part of the taffy apple salad recipe was inadvertantly omitted last week in the newspaper. The full directions should have been: “Drain pineapple, keep juice. Mix pineapple chunks and marshmallows, refrigerate overnight. In saucepan over low heat, heat juice, sugar, flour, egg and vinegar. Stir continually and cook until thick. Refrigerate overnight. Next day, combine Cool Whip, flour mixture, pineapple mixture, apples and nuts. Makes a large bowl. ”

be used interchangeably). They hold their puréed pumpkin for a year in the can – and that “ages” it and makes a nicely set pie. They also add cornstarch for the same reason. The main ingredients are not unlike what you’d make at home, just hugely different proportions and “secret” spices. Here’s as close as I can get. I’ll add a half teaspoon or so of cornstarch if I’m using home canned pumpkin, as it’s a bit looser than purchased pumpkin. If you want, add more of the spices to your taste.
The Wyoming Woman’s Club will celebrate the holidays with its traditional Holiday Silent Auction with crafts and items for gift giving Monday, Dec. 7, at the Wyoming Civic Center.

Two Gorman Heritage Farm turkeys can rest a little easier, thanks to an official pardon issued by Evendale Mayor Don Apking. The turkeys, now named Don and Sue after the Mayor and Mrs. Apking, were granted “permanent and unconditional pardon” in a proclamation read by Mayor Apking as a group of elementary school students looked on. Gorman Heritage Farm offers farm-raised turkeys for Thanksgiving, but will save the two pardoned turkeys for use in its educational programs. “We are very pleased that Mayor Apking took the time to come out here and help us celebrate this pardon,” farm director Sandra Murphy said. “We get so wrapped up in our day to day jobs that it’s nice to have a little fun sometimes. We’ll take great care of Don and Sue and use them to teach our visitors more about this great American bird.” Gorman Heritage Farm is a 120-acre working farm. For additional information about the farm, please call Vicki Foster at 5636663, or visit the farm’s Web site at www.gormanfarm.org.

Potted bulbs can ‘light up’ your spring anywhere You can “light up” your yard next spring by planting spring bulbs in the ground now. But guess what? You can do the same thing to light up your outdoor containers next spring, or to bring spring bulb colors inside your home. Instead of planting bulbs in the ground, simply plant them in a pot. Growing spring bulbs in a container is easy. Here’s what you’ll need for your potted spring bulbs: • 4-, 6-, 8-inch or larger pots, with good drainage holes in the bottom • A good grade potting mix • Espoma’s Bulbtone (a fertilizer) • The bulbs of your choice. Any of the spring flowering bulbs will work, so look at doing some pots of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths for great fragrances, and a few minor bulbs, like crocus, for early colors. Take your pots and place about an inch or two of the potting mix in the bottom.
T h e n , evenly distribute your bulbs in the mix, point up, and feel free to plant a little Ron Wilson them closer than In the you would garden normally in the ground. For the tulips, place the flat side of the bulb to the outside of the pot. Cover your bulbs with more of your soil-less mix, sprinkle on a little bulb food, and then continue to fill the pot to the top, lightly compressing the soil as you fill. Water your potted bulbs thoroughly, and you’re ready to grow. Now, here’s the secret: You must over winter your potted bulbs in cold temperatures. So, leave your pots sitting outside, watering them when the soil dries out. Once the temperatures outside have become cold, consistently, move the planted bulb pots inside an
unheated garage or shed, put them down in a window well, or actually heel them into the ground, and cover with mulch or leaves for the winter. Check to make sure they have soil moisture when you move them, and water lightly over the winter as the soil dries. Otherwise, just let them sit dormant enjoying the cold temperatures. Early next spring, when the bulbs start to grow, bring them in to the house, or place your potted bulbs in an outdoor planter, give them a light water soluble feeding, water as needed, and let them do their “spring thing.” When they’re totally finished blooming and growing, you can take them out of the pot, plant them in the garden, and enjoy them for years to come.

Program gives tips on effective communication By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
PROVIDED
Frank Messina explains the value of effective communication in business. The seminar was part of the Sharonville Chamber of Commerce Business Development series.
About two dozen business men and women gathered in Sharonville recently to learn how to get their point across more effectively at the office. Communicating to them about communication was Frank Messina, president of Advantage Educational Services, who interacted with the audience, winding a path through the lunch tables and engaging the participants in the seminar with questions to which there were specific answers. He quickly cut to the bottom line. “What if communication
is not really clear (from manager to employee)? Messina asked. “What did this cost?” Answer: Money through hours of lost productivity. Many nodded in recognition of this dilemma at work. His session, “Say It Isn’t So!” examines the cost of ineffective communication, the hidden losses and how to avoid them. It was part of the Professional Development series offered by the Sharonville Chamber of Commerce. That event was sponsored by Sharonville business Frank’s Glass. Messina left the group with a few points to ponder
about communication: • Make sure instructions are clear. • Communication can affect morale among employees. • Poor communication can lead to poor customer service, which could mean customer loss followed by loss of referral. His advice on how to communicate under stressful situations: take your time, anticipate the outcome and rephrase what you want to say. “It doesn’t matter what you say, it only matters what they think you say,” Messina said. “It’s what
they hear.” Dan Shields, director of business development for Ameridian Specialty Services Inc., said he attended because communication is important in his job. “I have to be able to deal with the professionals as well as the laborers,” he said. Bob Gallagher, who works in marketing sales for the Health-Care Connection, said he’s always looking for continuous training. “It enhances what I do,” he said. The Chamber offers the Professional Development series the third Thursday of every month.

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