Volunteers grabbed their trowels to launch the Planting Pride in Delhi project.

A project of the Delhi Township

Parks and Recreation Department with help from Robben Florist and Garden Center, 21 large flower pots will be placed around the township next month.

Volunteers started the planting process last week for the pink, purple and yellow color theme.

It’s the fourth year for the planting pride project.

Joan Gillespie, township horticulturist, said she relies on a roster

of 15-20 volunteers.

“The Planting Pride in Delhi project really has gained momentum since it started,” she said.

“It’s a great way to brighten up areas of the township and provide a splash of color along the pike and other areas of the township.”

Robben donates all the flowers and plants used in the pots, and volunteers maintain them during the summer.

People also can buy a pot for $225 to put in front of their business or prime spot.

“It’s been a great community project,” Robben said, “and really brightens up the township.”

For more information about the planting project, call Robben at 251-2737.

Paper shredding part of clean-up day

By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

As part of the annual Clean-Up Delhi Township Day the Delhi Business Association and the Delhi Civic Association are offering a paper shredding event.

It will be the same day as the clean-up event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 30.

It will be in the parking lot of

C.O. Harrison Elementary School, 585 Neeb Road.

Like the clean-up day, it’s for Delhi Township residents only and proof of residency will be required.

Residents can bring any paper documents they wish to have shredded at no charge. The cleanup day also will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Township residents can bring items to the senior/community center parking lot, 647 Neeb Road.

Items that will not be accepted include yard waste, computer equipment, hazardous chemicals, paint and batteries.

Items with Freon will be taken if residents have a certificate of evacuation or a pre-payment of the $18 evacuation fee.

Registration and payment of that Freon removal will be accepted through Friday, April 29, at either the township administration

building, 934 Neeb Road; or the public works department, 655 Neeb Road.

Furniture, garbage, appliances and tires removed from rims are among the items acceptable.

Call 922-8609 for more information. Both the clean-up day and paper shredding will be rain or shine events.

Pet hospital moving into old Blue Note Cafe

By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

A veterinarian is breathing new life into the old Blue Note Cafe on West Eighth Street in West Price Hill.

The once popular live music venue will be the new home of the Covedale Pet Hospital, which is across the street from the Blue Note.

Veterinarian Bill Obert

and his wife, veterinarian Melinda Ketring, who together own and operate the pet hospital, bought the Blue Note, 4520 West Eighth St., in March for $210,000.

Obert said they are renovating the building and plan to move their veterinary clinic into the space sometime in September.

“We saw a great opportunity to expand, as well as help out the neighborhood

and make it a little nicer,” said Obert, who lives in Delhi Township.

“The building is a great landmark. Everyone on the West Side has known or been to the Blue Note at one time or another.”

The bar was very popular in its heyday, and for two decades was a hot spot for seeing live music. The bar’s former owner, Douglas Gundrum, tried to sell the Blue Note two years ago to an owner of the Strasse Haus bar in Covington, but the deal fell through.

Obert said the Blue Note building gives the veterinary clinic about 30 percent more space in which to work. He said the pet hospital has 24 employees, and treats all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, hamsters and rabbits.

He said they plan to host an open house in the fall when the construction is

“We feel the West Side is still a great, vibrant commu-

nity and we plan to be here for a long time. We’re making a commitment to the neighborhood,” Obert said.

“It will be a new start for us and a new start for the Blue Note. We’re pretty excited.”

Delhi Township trustees won't be spending money to join a state-wide group opposing the estate tax elimination. Trustees had delayed action last month on joining a coalition of Ohio townships and munic-

eliminating the estate tax without providing adequate alternate funding. The tax provides an estimated $1 million to township coffers.

Trustee Jerry Luebbers maintained the Ohio Township Association should be doing the lobbying in support of its members.

“I think this would be a

duplication of efforts and unnecessary for us to spend the money,” he said.

Trustees Mike Davis and Al Duebber concurred and a motion to join the coalition was rejected unanimously at the April 13 meeting.

Club honors Elder’s community spirit kbackscheider@communitypress.com

THANKS TO TOM REIRING

Elder High School Principal Tom Otten stands in front of the school holding the plaque Elder received for being named the winner of this year’s Spirit of West Price Hill Award by the Price Hill Civic Club.

“Much of the good citizenship focus is driven by a ‘lead by example’ approach that starts from the top down and is supported by their ongoing community involvement, support and general willingness to help out in any way possible.”

Otten said he was honored to accept the award on behalf of Elder.

“I am overwhelmed we were chosen as the recipient of this year’s award,” he said. “It’s an award of which I’m very proud.”

He said the Civic Club and everything its members do for the neighborhood teach his students valuable life lessons about giving back and supporting their community.

The many neighborhood projects Elder participates in allow students to use Price Hill as a classroom, where Otten said they learn what it means to be a part of a community.

He said Elder makes an

effort to be involved in the neighborhood, whether it’s the parade and litter cleanups or tutoring programs and sponsoring teams in Dunham’s Miracle League, and it’s nice when people take notice of the positive things his students are doing.

“For the Civic Club to recognize Elder as succeeding in the area of community involvement is really gratifying,” Otten said.

Armstrong said Elder’s tower at Vincent and Regina avenues and the historic Pit stand proud in Price Hill and have been two of the community’s most recognizable landmarks for generations.

“The Price Hill Civic Club is grateful for the longstanding working relationship with Elder and looks forward to many more years of collaborative efforts,” he said.

Scout has sound Eagle project

By Monica Boylson mboylson@communitypress.com

PROVIDED

Boy Scout Paul George replaced the lighting system at Father Reardon Hall at St. William Church in Price Hill as his Eagle Scout project.

St. William’s parish is home to a new lighting system with help from Boy Scout Paul George.

George, 18, decided to help the parish in October 2010 with his Eagle Scout project. He is a member of St. William’s Troop 193.

He updated the stage lighting system in Father Reardon Hall at the church from a circuit box to a digital system.

The old system had to be connected, wire to wire, to the wall and all the power ran through the dimming box.

His new system simply plugs into the wall and

sends digital signals to the electric box and then to the stage, allowing for multiple light settings.

“The main idea of the Eagle Scout project was to show that you can help others, be polite and respectful, and demonstrate what that means,” George said. “I wanted to give back to my parish.”

George is a senior at Elder High School and a member of the glee club.

The club holds many performances throughout the year in Father Reardon Hall and he was all too familiar with the poor stage lighting.

He decided it was time for an upgrade.

He was the project manager and helped with some

of the hands-on work. He wrote a letter to the parish asking for help, and then organized meetings with volunteers, salesmen and electricians.

Through his efforts, he raised $2,200 and secured donated labor to assist with the task. The project was completed in three days.

St. William’s parishioner and lighting expert, Sue Toth, 55, is more than thrilled. She explained that during some shows, the lighting box would blow circuits.

“The new system is much safer and more flexible,” Toth said. “We had plans to update it for some time.”

George continues to give

back to St. William and the local community. He takes pride in working with St. William’s inter-faith hospitality program which provides temporary shelter for homeless families with children.

He maintains leadership roles, coaching eighth-grade boys volleyball at St. Antoninus and is a scout leader for his troop.

Gary Callahan, 58, St. William’s Troop 193 leader, said, “He’s turned into what I would call a good leader.”

But leadership doesn’t come without hard work.

“There are a lot of challenges you don’t expect,” George said, “but you can do anything if you put your mind to it.”

Show pays tribute to West Side car enthusiast

By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Family and friends of Jerry Stautberg will honor the well-known car buff with a car show again this spring.

The second annual Jerry Stautberg Memorial Car Show is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 1, at Harvest Home Park, 3961 North Bend Road, in Cheviot.

All proceeds from the car show benefit the Jerry

Stautberg Memorial Scholarship Fund at Elder High School.

Mike Stautberg, one of Jerry’s four children, said his father, a Cheviot native, was a fixture in Cincinnati’s car scene. He died in 2009 of liver disease.

“Our first year was a great way to pay tribute to my father, a well-known car enthusiast,” Mike said.

“All of us who have helped organize this show are excited about the second year of this event. It is a

great way to remember him while supporting something he was passionate about in Elder High School.”

Stautberg last worked as a car buyer for the Kenwood Dealer Group, but the majority of his nearly 40year career in the automobile business was spent working for local dealerships, most notably Glenway Chevrolet and Sieve Pontiac.

Greg Stautberg, Jerry’s son, said despite receiving two-and-a-half inches of

rain during last year’s show, the tribute to his father still drew 80 entries and hundreds of attendees.

“We’re hoping for 250 entries and 1,000 people this year,” he said.

The event is free to attend, and $10 to enter a car.

The show will take place rain or shine.

On-site registration is from 9 a.m. until noon. All participants who enter a car in the show will receive a free T-shirt and the first 100

registrants will receive a free dash plaque.

Trophies will be awarded at 3 p.m. in three categories: Best of Show, People’s Choice and a Jerry’s Choice award where show organizers will select the car they feel Jerry would have chosen.

The day’s festivities will include split-the-pot and other raffles. Food and drinks will be available and free face painting and balloons will be offered for children. Music will be provided

by WDJO, Oldies 1480.

Cabaret helps West Side entertainer When a cast member is sick and can’t make a show, the understudy plays the part instead. But what if there’s no show, no understudy, and the cast member is still sick?

Then you put on a show for the sick cast member.

And that’s just what the Greater Cincinnati theater community plans to do for fellow theatre performer and director, Matt Gunnels.

A Cincinnati native, and Wright State graduate, and Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre alum, Gunnels is the artistic associate of Chicago’s Emerald City Children’s Theatre, where he develops and directs new

musicals for children, and does so proudly with fellow artistic associate and Cincinnati musician Steve Goers.

But right now, Gunnels’ biggest challenge isn’t mounting the next children’s show. Today, he is fighting Stage 4 Colon Cancer.

Charlie and Greta Clark, old friends and performing colleagues of Gunnels, are no strangers to the Cincinnati stage. Charlie is currently in “Carousel” at The Carnegie in Covington, and was in “Church Girls” at Northern Kentucky University.

So when they heard what their close friend is going through, they turned to the one love that brought

them together all those years ago – the stage.

Join Charlie, Greta, and Steve Goers at the piano, as they present: The Clark’s Colon Cancer Cabaret! – A benefit for Matt Gunnels at 8 p.m. Friday, April 29, at the Covedale Center for the Performing Art, 4990 Glenway Ave., in West Price Hill Tickets are $20, and the show starts at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. for happy hour. All proceeds (including half the bar) go toward Gunnels medical expenses.

For tickets, call the Covedale Box Office at 513241.6550 or get tickets online at www.cincinnatilandmarkproductions.com.

Muñoz, sports icons to speak at Seton Seton High School will host Anthony Muñoz during the first “Night with the Saints” Saturday, May 14.

ed by former WXIX-TV FOX 19 anchor Meghan Mongillo.

Tips for your running program It is the time of year in Cincinnati when many of you are training for the May 1 Flying Pig, full or half marathons. I see patients every spring with pain and symptoms related to their training ranging from pulled muscles, shin splints, stress fractures, knee or ankle pain, and common concerns if they are on the right track in their training.

I want to take a few minutes to give you some general tips to make sure you are in top shape before the Flying Pig or for those of you that just enjoy running.

1. Rest, rest, rest. This includes taking days off and going easy on your easy days. Your body needs to recuperate and recover between long runs, quality and workouts, and the stress of running in general.

2. Warm up and cool down. Take 5 minutes at the beginning and end of each run to ease into and out of the run. This can be done

by walking and/or jogging at a slower pace than your running pace for that day.

David Argo 3. Only ncrease Community iyour weekly Press guest mileage by columnist 10 percent to 20 percent. Otherwise, you set yourself up for overuse injuries which could have been avoided.

4. Don’t be afraid to cross train instead of running if you are fighting a nagging injury, are becoming tired, or need a change of pace. Riding the bike, elliptical, or pool running are all good options.

5. Eat a balanced diet.

While training you will need to supply your body adequately to supplement your training. Improper nutrition can lead to overall fatigue

that interrupts training. Carbohydrates are essential for fueling your body to run.

6. Women should focus on three important nutrients to consume while training: iron, calcium, and protein.

Iron is essential for your red blood cells to transport oxygen. Calcium will aid in protecting bone degradation and aid in important increases in bone density as a response to the increased bone stress from running.

Finally protein aids in the maintenance and repair of muscle.

7. Hydrate! Replace what you have lost.

Remember to replenish the fluids and electrolytes you lose through exercise. Most sport drinks provide a good balance of fluids and electrolytes to help the body maintain a good balance.

8. Wear proper footwear.

Go to a running store for your shoes where they can observe your stride and biomechanics. They will match

your stride and biomechanics to the proper footwear to prevent injuries.

Reviewing and planning these tips into your routine will ensure that you will have a safe and healthy running experience.

If you do experience pain or symptoms that do not go away in a couple of days with rest, ice and antiinflammatories, please contact Beacon Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine at 513354-3700 and we will be glad to sit down with you and create a plan that fits your needs. Good luck at the Flying Pig and see you at the finish line!

David Argo is a fellowship trained and board certified in orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine. He currently sees patients at the Beacon West location at 6480 Harrison Avenue. He is the team physician and medical director for the Cincinnati Cyclones and the team physician for Oak Hills and East Central high schools.

Seton students studying earthquakes, buildings

THANKS TO ERIN GRADY.

Seton juniors Emily Igel and Kaitlyn Cappel and senior Laney Sportsman build their earthquake structure

In the wake of the devastating earthquake in Japan, Seton High School students are getting a firsthand look at the sheer power of earthquakes and how to design buildings to withstand their force.

The experience began with a Skype conversation with University of Cincinnati professor Kelly Cohen.

The students were able to interact with Cohen using

Seton’s state-of-the-art wireless campus and Tablet PCs. After a short discussion with the professor about what causes quakes and how their energy is released into buildings, the students were challenged to create a building that would best handle an earthquake.

The students were asked to build their designs and test them on a shake table.

Using a motion detector, their math teacher Lois Childers was able to determine how much the buildings shook.

Students were then asked to rework their designs and remove any problems that contributed to shaking in certain parts of the building.

Slinkie teaches honors students about motion A Slinkie, a motion detector and a Tablet PC – not the usual items you would expect for a class project about simple harmonic motion.

But, that is exactly how students in Lois Childers’ Honors Pre-Calculus class learned the concept.

The students were asked to connect the motion detector to their computers and drop a Slinkie above the detector.

As the Slinkie bounced up and down, the motion detector recorded the movements and transferred the waves to a chart on the stu-

dents’ computers.

After the project, the students were able to calculate the oscillation of the Slinkie and have a personal handson experience with a complex math concept.

Seton seniors are Straight A finalists Two Seton High School seniors are finalists in the Anthony Munoz Straight A Student Program.

Michele Mugwambi and Mollie Williams were selected as two of 18 finalists in the program, presented by PNC. Each student will receive a $2,000 scholarship and have an opportunity to be selected for one of two $5,000 scholarships.

“I was really honored to receive the scholarship,” said Williams. “It was nice to be recognized for all the academic work I did during my time at Seton – it really paid off.”

Mugwambi and Williams were nominated by their guidance counselors. The counselors were asked to describe the students’ academic excellence, athletic achievements, ability to overcome adversity, ambition, positive attitude and

the active role they play in the community.

“This scholarship isn’t just about my hard work throughout the years,” said Mugwambi. “Without my counselors who recommended me and encouraged me throughout my years at Seton High School, I don’t think I would have been able to get it.”

The students will be recognized at an April 26 luncheon at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse. During the event, they will find out which of the 18 finalists were selected for the $5,000 scholarships.

A Moeller grad coaching at Elder?

Say what? “(Coaching at) Sycamore might’ve been a little harder,” Tom Nugent said, laughing.

Nugent, who had standout lacrosse careers at Moeller and Ohio State and led the Sycamore boys team to a state title in 2004, is set to tackle the final frontier of Cincinnati lacrosse – the West Side.

More specifically, at Elder.

“We may not be where we were at Sycamore right away,” said Nugent, who started the Aviators’ lacrosse program in 1996. “But there’s no doubt that time will come – and it’ll come quickly.”

Elder, which started its lacrosse program in 2007, has seen instant

fully bought into everything I’m asking them to do, and because of that, the whole team is following them.”

Other seniors include attacker Brian Galvin, goalie Craig Olding, midfielder Tim Weil and defenders Nick Koch, Adam Schramm, Kyle Holliday, Brad Jordan and Dane Melgard.

“We’re working toward poise – the ability to perform under pressure,” Nugent said. “You’re going to win more when you’re poised. The only way to be poised is to put the work in. I think the poise is coming to fruition, but it’s something we’re still working on.”

Nugent, however, is pleased with Elder’s numbers. The Panthers have 86 players in the three-team program.

“We need to get better at general lacrosse IQ and understanding how the game should be played – the

nuances,” Nugent said. In an established program, kids have been playing since the third grade. They understand everything.

“I was lucky enough to start Sycamore’s program,” Nugent continued. “I’ve been there since the inception and got everything going with it. I wanted the challenge and a chance to coach at a place like Elder. It is an honor.”

The Panthers, which also defeating Wyoming and Kings this year, hope to host a home playoff game.

“We want to play our best lacrosse the last game of the season,” Nugent said. “Whoever we’re playing and whatever happens, we just want our final game to be our best game.

“When these guys show up to practice, they show up to work. It’s been a pleasure showing up to practice every day.”

After going four years without a win over a Division-I opponent, the Panthers have two this year alone – against Lakota East and Loveland – by a combined score of 27-12. Last year, Elder lost to those teams by a combined 23-9.

“We’ve made big strides,” Nugent said. “Their work ethic and determination to get better have been great. I’m really pleased with what has happened so far.”

The Panthers, 4-5 entering play April 20, have been led by senior captains Luke Moore (midfielder), Tim Gruber (midfielder) and Mike Chouteau (defense).

“I’ve been tremendously impressed with the whole senior class,” Nugent said. “They have, in the overall picture, the least to gain because of the short time I’ve been working with them. But they have

Seton junior Danielle Hoffmann pitches against Northwest April 15.

Familar faces abound for Mercy lacrosse Smith has had to replace 2010 graduate Chrissy O’Hara as the Bobcats’ most potent offensive player.

“She’s quick with good stick skills in pressure situations,” Joerger said. “She’s been our main presence in the crease, and a lot of the offense runs though her.”

Joerger also credited senior captains Cara O’Connor (midfield), Megan Humphrey (midfield/attack) and Michelle Peterman (defense) for their leadership.

“When things get hectic, they’ve really taken control, settled people down and gotten people where they needed to be,” he said.

By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

First-year head coach Dave Joerger was pretty familiar with his players well before the season started.

Perhaps because he had coached them all before.

Joerger coached the Mother of Mercy High School junior varsity lacrosse team for two years before moving up to varsity this year.

“The girls have made the transition easy because I’ve coached every single one of them,” he said. “They knew how I was as a coach, and I knew what I was getting from a player standpoint.”

That familiarity has helped Mercy to a 2-0-1 start entering play April 13.

“The girls are playing very well, especially defensively, which was a question mark going into the season,” Joerger said. “But the girls are trying very hard at it. We’re playing together.”

Mercy opened the season with a 15-3 win over Lakota East March 28 before tying Mount Notre Dame 11-11 March 31.

Joerger said Loechtenfeldt is the quicker of the two, while Briggs brings more of a vocal presence.

“The most important thing,” Joerger said, “is the defense is comfortable with either one, which is a plus.

Anything we need to win, they (Loechtenfeldt and Briggs) bring to the table.”

Junior Melissa Burns, who moved from midfield to attack this season, scored four goals against the Cougars.

“She’s taller and has better vision (than most players),” Joerger said. “She can see around a defense and gives us options in the crease.”

Another top offensive contributor is senior Heather Smith, who scored four goals in a 16-12 win over Fenwick April 15.

Other contributors include Jami Aufderbeck, Kaitlin Bigner, Gabby Discepoli, Emily Farmer, Maddy Heile, Brittany Janszen, Erin McNamara, Allison Schneider, Carrie Walsh and Elizabeth Winter.

Joerger would like to see improvement in his team’s transition game, but he’s been more than pleased with the defense.

“They’ve been above and beyond where we thought we’d be at this point,” he said.

Joerger said Mercy hopes to finish in the top three in the Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League and advance to the regional tournament.

Seton lacrosse off to solid start The Seton High School lacrosse team is 3-2 (2-2) entering play April 16.

The Saints defeated CHCA 23-2 in the season-opener March 30 before dropping a 9-7 decision to league rival St. Ursula.

Seton bounced back with blowout wins over Fenwick (184) and McAuley (14-4) before falling to Ursuline 17-8 April 14.

Becca Meyer leads the Saints with 21 goals and is tops in the Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League in goals per game.

By Tony Meale If there’s one thing Heather York wants to see from her La Salle High School volleyball team, it’s consistency.

The Lancers opened the season with wins over St. Charles and Hilliard Bradley before getting blanked by St. Xavier and Moeller and dropping a 3-1 decision to Elder.

“We started out a little timid against St. X and Moeller,” York said, “but we had a great match against Elder.”

The match against the Panthers was about as close as can be. La Salle was outscored 84-82 in the first three games before falling 25-20 in the fourth.

“We need to get into that mentality of finishing games,” York said. “We stayed with them until the very end, and then we had a bit of a letdown. As long as we finish games strong, we’ll do very well.”

Among La Salle’s top performers are seniors Ben Moeller (MH), Tyler Celek (MH), Sam Wenke (MH), Alec King (OH) and Luke Eschenbach (S/OH) “Ben is an outstanding middle hitter; he’s strong, quick and very smart,” York said. “Tyler adjusts well and is quick on his feet, Alec is a hard hitter who’s aggressive and plays fantastic defense.

We’ve got some great, allaround players.”

The Bombers, which finished 15-7 last year, have started 8-1 (entering play April 7).

The Bombers then earned a 3-0 home win over league rival and defending state champion Elder March 29.

Their first loss of the season came two days later at Moeller.

The Crusaders won 3-0 (25-15,

25-21, 25-20).

Among St. X’s top players are seniors Ben Lottman, Matthew Kues, Matthew Devine, Michael O’Brien Jr., Benjamin Krzmarzick, James Stenger, Adam Bambach and Kyle Spoelker.

Also contributing are juniors Brian Shannon, Michael Fletcher, Benjamin Hart, Collin Flesner, Stephen Creevy and Preston Hart.

St. X is coached by Bill Ferris, who has led the Bombers to four state-final appearances and two championships (2003 and 2006).

Other contributors include Steve Schwetschenau (L), Zach Sander (S), Kyle Jacob (DS), Drew Otten (OP), Danny Keller (OP) and David Knollman (OH).

“David is really good at bringing the team together, and he plays great defense,”

York said.

Keller, a sophomore, is the lone non-senior on the team.

St. Xavier lacrosse owns top-10 state ranking

By Tony Meale

tmeale@communitypress.com

The St. Xavier High School lacrosse team is ranked ninth in the state – according to LaxPower, that is – and it’s safe to say the Bombers are worthy of that distinction.

The Bombers (5-3 entering play April 16) have beaten local powers Moeller and Indian Hill, both of which are ranked in the top 25, and all three of their losses have been by one goal, including setbacks against Dublin Jerome and

Upper Arlington, which are ranked second and third in the state, respectively.

“That’s the thing about lacrosse; it’s so quickly decided sometimes,” St. X first-year head coach Fred Craig said. “But I think we’ve demonstrated that we can play with just about anybody in the state.”

The Bombers have benefited from the production and leadership of seniors captains Connor Buczek of Amelia, Brogan Hill of West Chester and Tyler Hill of Anderson.

“I’d really like to see us allow fewer goals.”

St. X certainly has the manpower to do so; the Bombers’ lacrosse program boasts 150 players spread out over four teams.

“All the guys are playing hard, and I’m just really pleased with the way varsity has been playing; they’ve been playing extraordinarily hard,” Craig said. “Our competitors have given us a run for our money every game. It’s always a challenge.”

“The Reds are playing exceedingly well and that helps us even more,” Kramer said.

He said once this year’s money is collected, the organization will shop for the baseball and softball equipment in the fall, looking for the “best quality for the best price.”

The equipment is delivered to a warehouse in Sharonville, Ohio, in January, donated by Paul Verst of Walton, and Kramer and other members of the Kid Glove Program distribute the equipment outside on a cold winter’s day.

The Bombers definitely have more of those upcoming.

They play Mason, ranked No. 1 in the state, at home May 10. It’s yet another test for a team that Craig, who coached St. X’s JV squad for six years, believes could make some noise in the postseason.

“I think we have the potential to be a contender at the state level,” he said.

“That’s what we’re hoping for.”

The Bombers are allowing 8.6 goals per game, ranging from as low as five (against Thomas Worthington and Indian Hill) to as high as 14 (against Mariemont).

Craig has been impressed with sophomore goalie Benny Russert of Hyde Park, who has recorded double-digit saves in multiple matches, but would like to see the defense tighten up a bit.

Should voters be required to provide a photo ID at the polls? Why or why not?

“Absolutely, yes! Voters should be required to provide a photo ID. In this day and age, identity theft is happening all over our nation.

Voting is a privilege and should not be abused. Just as in the case of showing ID when traveling on an airplane, a picture ID is needed to verify that the person or persons voting, and therefore making decisions for our city and/or country, are who they claim to be.

There is no reason to object to showing proper identification!”

K.K. “Voters should be required to provide a photo ID and poll workers should actually look at the IDs. There is so much at risk with elections these days and the parties are so polarized and impacted by special interests who will sometimes do whatever is needed to win, including cheating.”

S.M. “Yes! The potential for fraud is too great. I think we need to protect the integrity of the whole voting system. Rules are in place for a reason. If some do not like it and feel disenfranchised then let’s do it like Iraq did – permanent ink on their finger that last for about three weeks. Look at the recent Wisconsin election where 14,000 votes were found – cheaters should not be allowed to infiltrate the voting process!”

Last week’s question

Do you support efforts to repeal Senate Bill 5, and Ohio Democrats’ proposals to allow recalls of state office holders?

Why or why not?

“Absolutely. Senate Bill 5 is dictatorship, socialism, and/or communism at its best.”

D.A.B. “These are the people we elected to do a job. Sometimes you do not like the job they do, then you wait your chance to remove them in the next election. A recall may seem good to some but one always have to look at the other side of the coin. If not successful you may have to suffer more drastic consequences.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thank you

I never felt more a part of my St. Williams parish, my community than I have this past year and a half. The outpouring of love, support and prayers is a true testament of what makes the Westside so special.

So many people, from different parishes, people I have known my whole life and others I have never met, all came out to show support for my family. My children and I are blessed to be apart of it all. The generosity that we have received has been overwhelming.

I have learned a lot this last year but the lesson I really learned, is that people truly care and want to help. Words will never truly express the depth of my gratitude, will never be able to express they way you all have touched my life. So having said that, thank you. Thank you all so much.

Spring miracles

I have always admired people who are joyful because of “everyday” experiences, such as, an unexpected hug, a compliment from a stranger, or a small gift when you have nothing particular to celebrate.

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to enjoy one of those “everyday” experiences. I was able to watch a 20-month-old little girl, Mikka, wearing her raincoat, discover the excitement of stomping in her first water puddle. The expression on her face was worth its weight in gold. It was precious.

I am sharing this experience, so that when this is read, you will open your eyes so as not to miss the little “miracles of spring.”

30-second count should be observed This past Saturday (April 9 I drove into Delhi Park to view how many games were being played and to see the conditions of the fields.

I was scheduled to officiate a boys varsity high school baseball game later that afternoon. Upon passing field No. 1, I saw some friends whose sons were playing and some waiting to play the next game. It was overcast and the weather looked like it might rain any minute.

The first game came to an end and within about 15 minutes; the second game started. During the first inning the sky opened up

with a bolt of lighting and a clap of thunder.

The plate umpire announced time and instructed everyone to get off the field. As startBob Phair everyone ed to seek shelCommunity ter, someone Press guest proclaimed, we columnist will restart the game in 15-20 minutes.

I was shocked and very concerned over that statement.

Everyone should know on any

outside sporting event that the 30-minute rule applies.

Any subsequent thunder or lightning after the beginning of the 30-minute count, reset the clock and another 30-minute count should begin.

The purpose of these guidelines is to provide a default policy to those responsible for making decisions concerning the suspension and restarting of contests based on the presence of lightning.

The worst case thinking by a few is to resume the game too early (less than the 30-minute count) because the dark clouds

and storm have passed their field.

Problem with that thought process is the back edge of the storm is where we have the lightning.

Is it worth putting our players, coaches, and officials into a situation of possible injury or death by not waiting the allotted time?

(Reference: National Weather Service, National Federation of State High School Associations, Guidelines for Lightning SafetyNFHS Sports Medicine Handbook.)

Bob Phair, 27 years experience as an official for college, high school and summer baseball.

Why burning the Qur’an is wrong As the world reels in the shock waves of a public Qur'an burning hosted by a Florida pastor, one might wonder what Christianity at its core actually teaches on this issue.

We never see examples in Scripture of Jesus or His followers using violence or force to spread the gospel. Jesus said His kingdom was not of this world; if it was, then His servants would fight, a biblical fact that was ignored to horrific result in the Crusades of the Middles Ages.

The only place we read about book-burning in the Bible is the account of the Ephesians burning their books of magic arts. It was their own decision, the books belonged to them, and they did it to signify disassociation from an old way of life. In the current situation, if these people have no Muslim background, what good

can it do them or anyone else to demonstrate their separatism from Islam?

Those who forcibly burn others' books are generally Stephanie connected with Spicer unarguably evil otalitarian Community tregimes.

Press guest The Golden columnist Rule rules it out.

Jesus taught us to treat others how we want to be treated. We as Christians would certainly not want our Bibles burned.

Jesus taught us to love our enemies and do good to those who treat us badly. We were treated badly on 9/11. We are currently at war in two Muslim

nations. These who are our enemies politically, our God commands us to love personally. If we ever wish our faith to be taken seriously by Muslims, we must reach out to them with the love of Christ, not pull away from them in fearful and ignorant hatred.

The Preacher of Ecclesiastes taught that we should avoid extremes. Unfortunately, some sectors of the Western church react to the near universal apathy of the rest through extremes of behavior.

A secular article I recently read described a well-known evangelistic tool as a “powerful lesson in how some twisted individuals use faith to promote hatred in the world." Contrast this with the biblical allegories of shining as lights in the world and spreading the fragrant aroma of the knowledge of Christ.

The Bible, and not all the corruption of a church which has so far departed from its teachings, is true, indeed fundamental, Christianity.

I disagree with the teachings of the Qur'an. It is my inalienable right as a human being to do so, as it is the inalienable right of every Muslim to disagree with me. However, neither side has the right to use violence as a means of persuading the other.

Finally, from a non-religious perspective, this action is highly provocative and has put our entire nation and expatriate community at risk. I can confidently assert that most Muslims are peaceful and non-violent people, but granted the current political climate, should we really be surprised if it sparks violence?

Some tax reminders from Social Security Q) My husband and I intend to file for Social Security benefits next year when we are both full retirement age. Between the two of us, we will have a combined Social Security benefit of almost $3,000 per month. Will we have to pay federal income tax on that amount?

A) Perhaps. You will have to pay federal taxes on your benefits if you file a joint tax return and you and your spouse have a total income that is more than $32,000. If you file as an individual, you will have to pay taxes on

your benefits if your total income is more than $25,000.

For more information, call the Internal Revenue Service toll-free at 1-800-829-3676 and ask for IRS Publication Number 915, Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call the IRS toll-free number, 1-800-829-4059.

If you wish to have federal taxes withheld from your check, see our tax withholding web page at www.socialsecurity.gov/planners/taxwithold.htm.

Social Security has no authori-

ty to withhold state or local taxes from your benefit.

Many states and local authorities do not tax Social Security benefits. You should contact your state or local taxing authority for more information. Other tax season reminders: Tax deadline is Monday, April 18 – The due date for 2010 federal tax returns is Monday, April 18.

If you plan to claim your children or any other dependents on your tax return, you will need to have a Social Security number for each individual.

If you don’t already have a

Social Security number for a dependent, applications and filing requirements are available online at www.socialsecurity.gov/ ssnumber.

Request your SSA-1099 online – If you receive Social Security benefits, you may need to pay taxes on a portion of your Social Security benefits. If so, you will need your SSA-1099, which shows the total amount of benefits received in the previous year.

An SSA-1099 was mailed to you in January showing the total amount of benefits you received in 2010. If you receive Social Security

Wildflowers usher in corridor’s spring

By Heidi Fallon

hfallon@communitypress.com

Spring fever reached near epidemic proportions April 1 at the Western Wildlife Corridor’s Wildflower Festival.

Wildflower and seeds were for sale, along with a variety of native plants, art work and crafts for the children.

“The festival is part of our message to educate and make people aware of our beautiful natural areas right here,” said Tim Sisson, corridor president.

“The event also helps us educate and entertain and give people information on how to get more information and how to utilize native plants in their gardens.”

Mary E. Rensing said she came to the festival not just to learn more about native flowers, but also to learn to paint them.

“I’m taking the waterclor class,” the Delhi Township woman said, adding that she classifies herself as “an attempted artist.”

For folks still not suffering the pangs of spring fever, the corridor has an April 30 Flower-a-thon at Embshoff Woods, 4050 Paul Road in Delhi Township.

The day starts with breakfast from 8-9 a.m. followed by hikes in the woods to see and identify native flowering plant species.

The cost is $10 and includes breakfast, prizes and dinner at EarthConnection at 5 p.m.

For information call 9222104 or 859-512-1983.

Why I believe in Easter’s message: Christ’s and our resurrection Each of us has our own reasons for believing or not believing unprovable religious events like Easter.

In spiritual terminology, we basically call our subjective reasons, buffered by God’s grace, our faith.

If someone asked for some of my personal reasons, here are a few that sustain my faith that Jesus Christ rose from the dead and promised that we will too.

1. The insufficiency of all that is attainable. All through our lives we yearn for the fulfillment of our dreams, our needs and desires.

We are constantly reaching out for what we think will fulfill us, intensify our living, end all our restless searching, and bring us into the arms of a perfect love that is final and lasting.

Yet, the longer we live, complete satisfaction appears futile.

Yes, our dreams are partially

satisfied at times by dear people and events that occur in our lives.

And though pleasing to us, their presence eventually reminds us of the Father Lou more we don’t Guntzelman have.

St. Augustine Perspectives noticed this and said: “You have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”

So what do we do about life’s insufficiency?

One option is that we can become cynics and see our lives as years tinged with a tantalizing sadism – a wanting and needing of that which will never occur.

This option is well stated in Shakespeare’s MacBeth, “Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound

and fury signifying nothing.”

Or, if we believe in the promises of God, we can choose to see the insufficiency of this world and our hunger for sufficiency as a foretaste and prediction of the unimaginable afterlife into which death ushers us. I believe the latter.

2. Which is more difficult: to create or sustain? If we are brought into existence from nothingness by a Creator, isn’t that a greater action than the Creator sustaining us forever as a person already existing?

If a characteristic of the Creator is that he is true to his word and says “Yes” to our existence, why would his love ever vacillate and say “No?” 3. The presence of eyewitnesses. The public death of Jesus Christ was witnessed by many people and followers.

After his resurrection, he seemed to them changed in some ways and his identity was recog-

nized as valid.

He ate with them, spoke with them, permitted a doubter to touch him, etc.

His presence was judged so authentic that many were eager to spread the word about him though sometimes it led to their death.

4. My losses of people I’ve loved. When I stood beside my mother’s body just minutes after her death, besides my grief there also surfaced from the core of my being a crucial question.

For I am a human who is a priest, not just a priest who is human. My heart and mind are mine, not pages from a “rightanswer book.”

My core question was, “Lou, what do you really believe has just happened to your mother?

“As she died, did this kindly person merely disintegrate and evaporate into the emptiness of the universe and she is no more?

“Or, is her person still living

and existing in a state of beatitude unimaginable to her before this?

Is she more alive than she has ever been?”

I had to say “Yes” to my final questions. I realized that it would be more difficult for me to believe in her evaporation than her fulfilled and continued existence. Her person was so important to me, what must it be to her Creator?

The magnificence of resurrection and an astounding afterlife cannot be scientifically proven.

The best summation for such a faith might merely be this:

To those who believe in God, no explanation is necessary.

To those who do not believe in God, no explanation is possible.

Park Board wins first place Green Award The Cincinnati Park Board is honored to receive the first place Green Award of Excellence from the Ohio Parks and Recreation Association (OPRA).

The OPRA 2010 Annual Awards of Excellence are based on nominations from across the state.

The awards are judged in a two-tiered process, which includes a panel of parks and recreation professionals

from around Ohio, as well as the association’s Board of Directors.

The Cincinnati Park Board won the first place Green Award for its 2010 solar panel installation project.

The park board took the initiative to develop an ambitious solar energy project and to compete for and win funding of $451,000 in federal grants and

$300,000 in state grants and private funds for the installation of solar photovoltaic panels at 13 Park facilities (170 kW).

At the time of completing the new installations, the park board became the owner of the largest number of solar-powered structures in Ohio.

Andrew Ritch, director of Renewable Energy Strategy and Compliance, Duke

Energy Corporation explains why the park board’s solar energy initiative is a great example of Cincinnati’s leadership for the nation’s public parks: “The Cincinnati Park Board’s strategy for systematically adding new, renewable sources of energy across their footprint is the model for the nation’s urban park system.

“The Board’s plan has been carefully crafted to

optimize the use of all sources of available funding, and includes a performance monitoring system to ensure that specific operating benchmarks for this new technology are realized.”

The installation of solar panels at 13 park facilities in 2010 is the most recent phase of the park board’s ongoing renewable energy program.

French toast, stuffed peppers are good Easter brunch items In my family, you’re never too old to receive an E a s t e r Basket. All of the little ones get their own and the parents share one between Rita them.

E a c h Heikenfeld year I Rita’s kitchen make a promise to myself not to overdo on the candy and each year I break the promise.

But I am getting better – I’ll put some savory items in the baskets, like salted nuts and cheese crackers. And, of course, the colored hardboiled eggs.

I guess my idea of an abundant basket goes back to my childhood.

No matter how meager Easter Bunny’s budget may have been, each of us nine kids got a basket overflow-

ing with sweet treats.

Granted, there were an awfully lot of generic jelly beans but in the center sat a Papas chocolate-covered egg. Opera cream heaven!

I hope you enjoy the holiday with family and friends.

Remember those folks who may be alone. Give them a call, send a card – or better yet, invite them to your table.

Mitzi Gelter’s baked French toast

I enjoyed this at a brunch daughter-in-law Courtney gave for family and friends.

I loved the fact that it can be assembled the night before and asked Mitzi, a Western Hills Press reader and Courtney’s grandma, to share the recipe.

Wouldn’t this be an easy addition to for Easter brunch? Now if you don’t like nuts, leave them out.

1 loaf white bread 1 dozen eggs 1 pint half-and-half 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 ⁄2 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 ⁄2 cup chopped nuts 4 tablespoons margarine or butter The night before: Break a loaf of bread into pieces and place in a sprayed 9-by-11 baking dish.

Whisk eggs, half-andhalf and vanilla in mixing bowl. Pour mixture over bread, Cover and refrigerate until morning.

Before baking, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon and nuts. Sprinkle over egg-bread mixture. Dot margarine on top.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes, until bread is set. Serve just the way it is or sprinkle with powdered sugar or dip in maple syrup.

Western & Southern cafeteria’s stuffed peppers

I was so excited to receive this recipe. Thornton Kindred and Mary Ann Williams both sent it in for Ann, a Delhi reader who was looking for it.

This is what makes this column so fun for me – the community sharing of recipes that everyone thought were long lost.

Mary Ann retired four years ago – she worked at the company almost 37 years and found the recipe in their monthly news magazine. Thornton said this recipe was in the magazine back in the 1960s! Seems like everyone enjoyed them.

Meat and rice stuffing:

4 large or 5 medium peppers 11⁄2 lbs ground beef 1 ⁄4 cup chopped onions 1 cup tomato sauce 3 tablespoons flour 1 tablespoon salt added

to water to cook rice 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon Accent (see tip) 1 ⁄4 cup rice (boil according to package directions, in salted water, until done and stir in pepper and Accent.)

Sauce:

3 cans, 101⁄2 oz. each, condensed tomato soup 24 oz. can tomato juice 2 teaspoons salt Pinch of black pepper

Mix all ingredients and bring to a boil.

Note: One cup of this sauce is to be used in the meat and rice mix.

In a heavy skillet cook and stir beef until crumbly.

Add onions and continue cooking until meat starts to brown.

Remove from heat, add flour and mix well. Add seasoned rice and one cup of tomato sauce. Mix and set aside.

Peppers:

Wash and cut peppers in half. Remove seeds. Put in boiling water. Remove from heat and let set for 20 minutes. Drain.

Stuff peppers with meat and rice mix. Put in baking pan and pour sauce over peppers.

Bake in moderate oven, 350 degrees, about 11⁄2 hours or until peppers are tender. Baste peppers with the sauce during baking.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Accent is monosodium glutamate, or MSG, a flavor enhancer.

Some people may be allergic to it. If you don’t want to use it, you may want to add a bit more salt.

Or substitute seasoning salt.

Cincinnati’s public library to update its strategic plan The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County began a process in early 2010 to update its strategic plan. The purpose is to develop a strategy that will position the Library for optimal growth, while identifying long-term service needs.

The first step was gathering the data needed to understand the library’s customers. Overall survey respondents were very satisfied with the library’s

services with the highest ratings given for friendliness and helpfulness of staff as well as the safety, appearance, and cleanliness of the buildings.

Out of a mean ranking of 1-7, only availability of public computers ranked below a five in the survey findings. Library cardholders wanted access to more computers with a wider selection of software and enhanced software.

A $161,852 Bill and

Melinda Gates Foundation Opportunity Online Hardware Grant has provided much-needed funds to upgrade and purchase additional computer equipment for 17 of the library’s 40 branches. Utilizing these funds, 83 new computers have been made available, and phase two of the funding will provide an additional 75 computers in early 2011. The library is continuing to work on further addressing this need.

The primary library use of nearly 60-percent was to browse and borrow books for adults. In response to learning that more access to new materials was the top priority of cardholders, the library made some changes to its purchasing to get more copies of new materials, which in turn shortens or eliminates the waiting period for customers wanting to borrow popular new releases.

In addition, the library expanded hot authors to

include 20 additional wellknown novelists. This service gives customers the opportunity to automatically receive the latest novels from more than 90 popular fiction writers.

Survey respondents indicated a strong interest in reading. Nearly 60 percent had read more than 20 books in the past year.

According to survey results, in the last three months nearly 50 percent of respondents had visited a

Library more than 10 times.

Nearly 50 percent checked out three to five items on each visit. The library’s website was also heavily used by respondents, with nearly 60 percent visiting the website more than 10 times in the past three months.

Placing holds was the top reason for visiting the site, at more than 90 percent, with catalog searches and renewing items close behind at more than 80 percent.

Hemmer to host golf tourney The Masters may have wowed golfing fans with South Africa’s unknown Charl Schwartzel and the Houston Open saw regular Phil Mickelson on top, but the eighth annual George Knittle Memorial Bayley Golf Classic will showcase the talents of FOX News’ Bill Hemmer, 700 WLW’s Jim Scott, a mighty foursome from the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati and business leaders from Turner Construction, Fort Washington Investment Advisors, Omnicare and more.

This annual outing will be at Western Hills Country Club on Monday, May 23, with a shotgun start at 11 a.m. and benefits Bayley, one of Cincinnati’s cherished non-profits serving seniors on the west side.

Hemmer has been a mainstay at this yearly fundraising event which benefits the organization where his grandparents called home for nearly a decade until their passing.

“We consider this tournament a family event,” Hemmer said. “To be associated with such a fantastic organization fills my family with pride.”

This tournament generates funding for Bayley residents and Bayley Adult Day Program members in need. With changes to health care and government

funding fluxuations, the need to raise money to help these individuals is more important than ever. Residents who outlive their resources are never asked to leave due to inability to pay.

“It’s my hope all seniors can have the same high quality of care my grandparents received,” said Hemmer.

The tournament offers 18 holes of golf in a twoperson shamble format. The evening is capped off with cocktails and appetizers and the Bayley Ball Drop. No more than 250 golf balls are dropped over a green near the clubhouse, providing participants with three chances to win. With his familiar voice, Jim Scott will provide a play by play as he announces who has the lucky first ball in the hole for $1,000, the next closest to the hole for $500 and the ball furthest from the hole for $100.

For information about Bayley or the golf outing, sponsorships, Bayley Balls and more, contact Bayley at 513-347-4040 or visit www.bayleylife.org.

Bayley is a continuing care retirement community that offers a full spectrum of health and wellness lifestyle options. Bayley helps people live well now and take full advantage of all life has to offer at every stage. The

Bayley campus features The village (maintenance-free cottages), assisted living apartments, memory care, nursing care, adult day program, community outreach and Be Connected Membership Program, and the fitness club. Bayley was founded by the Sisters of Charity in 1990 in Delhi.

Cincinnati residents have recycling options With recent cuts to the budget, the city administration is performing ongoing belt-tightening. This is having an effect on the city’s ability to maintain the high service levels that Cincinnatians have come to expect.

Cincinnati suspended curbside collection of yard waste from homes and businesses earlier this year. Due to budget reductions, separated yard waste will, unfortunately, no longer be collected.

Garbage collection will continue to occur on regularly scheduled days. This service remains unaffected.

The administration is aware that this change in service will certainly have an effect on city residents. The city needs help spreading the word about the options for disposing of unwanted yard waste: • The city is encouraging residents to engage in alternative, environmentallyfriendly uses for their yard waste, such as composting and mulching whenever practical.

• Basic information about composting and a downloadable brochure for beginners are available from Hamilton County’s Backyard Composting page. www.hamiltoncountyrecycles.org.

• Several yard waste drop-off sites are in opera-

tion across Hamilton County.

Residents are strongly encouraged to utilize these free sites for disposal of yard waste: Centrally located – West Fork Solid Waste Facility, 3320 Mill Creek Road, South Cumminsville. For Cincinnati residents only. Accessible off Spring Grove Avenue and off Beekman Street. It is open year-round Monday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. excluding holidays.

East side of town – Bzak Landscaping - 3295 Turpin Lane, off state Route 32, Anderson Township. Open through Nov. 20; closed April 24, May 30, July 4 and Sept. 5; Saturdays and Sundays, from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

West side of town – Kuliga Park, 6717 Bridgetown Road, Green Township.

Open through Nov. 20; closed April 24, July 2 and 3; Saturdays and Sundays, from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

North side of town – Rumpke Landfill, Struble Road and Colerain Avenue, Colerain Township. Open through Nov. 20; closed on April 24. Saturdays and Sundays, from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Student doctor gets his match

By Monica Boylson

“For two hours I was on the verge of laughing, crying, and cheering,” University of Cincinnati senior

Richard Hoehn Jr. said.

He was amongst 156 senior medical students sat in UC’s medical science building, room E-351, waiting for their names to be pulled.

March 17 was Match Day for UC’s medical seniors, a day that students learn where they matched residency.

What’s a match Matching with an organization is no simple task. In September, students begin to apply online for residency programs. The schools they choose may ask the students for an interview. After those

interviews, senior medical students rank their top residency choices. In turn, the programs rank the students interviewed.

The matches are then determined and UC students are notified in a unique way. was a long awaited day.

“I’ve been looking forward to Match Day since my first year of medical school,” he said.

He explained the anticipation for Match Day. “Think about when you were 7, excited for Christmas morning. Match Day is like that multiplied exponentially.”

According to Giffin, Hoehn’s match was well

ment of medical education, explained that the ceremony lets the students know about their matches.

The students names and matches are sealed in an envelope.

Giffin pulls a name and the student shares their match with peers and family members.

For Hoehn, 26, matched with University Hospital in Cincinnati for surgery, it

It’s time to welcome back tulips, T-shirts and sunshine. However, it’s easy to forget about some of spring’s less appealing features, such as harmful smog and intensified allergens.

In anticipation of these events, the Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services has launched its annual Smog Season program.

The program, which runs through Oct. 31, monitors the level of ground-level ozone and particulate matter (PM) in Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren counties.

Ground-level ozone and PM are the two primary pollutants in smog; they come from a variety of sources, including automobiles, consumer products like paints and cleaners, off-road engines such as those in lawnmowers and airplanes and large and small industry facilities.

When certain chemicals in these pollutants interact with sunlight, smog is created.

Smog alerts help residents in the four-county region protect themselves against the health risks associated with smog, including:

deserved.

“Richard is an exceptional student. He excels academically,” Dr. Giffin said, “(UC) is proud that he is a graduate of our institution.”

Hoehn’s work ethic is a reflection of his childhood.

His father, Richard Hoehn Sr., owns Bridgetown Finer Meats.

The son has been working with his father since he was a child.

“As soon as I could hold a knife, I was working with my dad,” Richard said, “I continued working with him until last Christmas.”

Even though he’s a hard worker, Hoehn is happy to put the books aside and start his residency.

• Irritation of airways, causing coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing and shortness of breath.

• Increased asthma attacks.

• Increased difficulty for people working or playing outside to breathe as deeply and vigorously as normal.

• Increased susceptibility to respiratory infection.

• Aggravation of chronic lung diseases such as emphysema and bronchitis.

• Inflammation and damage to the lining of the lung.

• Low-grade pulmonary inflammation, a condition which accelerates the development of atherosclerosis (a leading cause of heart disease) and alters heart function.

• Ischemic heart disease, which causes heart attacks, irregular heart rhythms, heart failure and cardiac arrest.

• An increased risk of death from heart disease-as much at 18 percent with prolonged exposure to PM. To help combat groundlevel ozone and PM and reduce the number of Smog Alerts, residents are encouraged to take measures to reduce the level of air pollution. The following tips can help cut back on air pollution and reduce smog this season: • Maintain your vehiclemake sure tires are properly inflated and schedule regular oil changes.

• Don’t idle your vehicleidling wastes gas and pollutes the air.

• Conserve energy-turn off lights and computers.

• Refuel after sunset.

• Don’t top off at the gas pump.

• Tighten your gas cap.

• Avoid using gas-powered lawn equipment.

To learn more about ground-level ozone, PM and smog, or to view current Air Quality Index levels in Southwest Ohio, visit www.hcdoes.org or call the AQI Hotline at 513-9467753.

• More than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies, many of which are caused by pollen and mold.

Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services’ Monitoring and Analysis department is here to provide updates on pollen and mold counts so residents can be better prepared for days with especially high levels of these airborne pollutants.

Counts are performed Monday through Friday and the Monitoring and Analysis website updates results by 10 a.m. from the previous day’s testing.

Residents may also opt to call the Air Quality Pollen and Mold Hotline at 513946-7753. Counts will not be posted on holidays.

Testers use a Rotorod sampler to collect airborne allergens, which are expressed in the counts by grains per cubic meter of air.

For information on interpreting numerical counts, visit www.hcdoes.org/ airquality/webpages/pollendescripton.htm To help reduce allergyrelated symptoms, try the following: • Avoid areas with freshly cut grass • Minimize outdoor activity between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m.

• Close windows and use an air conditioner to reduce the amount of allergens entering your home • Avoid activities such as raking leaves, mowing the lawn and working with compost when feeling reactive For more information on how to track pollen and mold counts and reduce allergy symptoms, call the Pollen and Mold Hotline visit www.hcdoes.org.

Light of the Resurrection After the darkness of Calvary, came the light of the resurrection. Now, in these days of division and upheaval, things sometimes look dark, too. . . that’s why it’s important for us to remember that Christ has conquered death and shown us the way to obtain life everlasting for ourselves.

Death can and does occur in many ways.

It always has and always will. In human experience and in our human weaknesses, certain words are sometimes used in connection with death.

Words such as tragic..pathetic..absurd.. are emotionally sponsored. They are usually spontaneous and unthinkingly uttered.

The story of Easter is one of triumph – over death. The story refutes the words so often used. There is nothing tragic, pathetic or absurd about triumph over death. It is not a tragic story. Nor is it a pathetic or absurd story. It is not a fictional story; it is factual. And it is a beautiful story that has been told time and time again through the centuries since the Crucifixion. It is a story of truth that has sustained the Church in every generation since then.

Death brings separation – and sorrow for the separation. But only for a time. Neither the separation or the sorrow is final. The story of Easter is a story of the defeat of death through the promise and power of God. . .

TV pioneer Rosemary Kelly was a star volunteer

Rosemary Olberding Kelly Conrad worked with Rod Serling, Bob Braun, Paul Dixon, Dotty Mack and other local TV legends, but Paul Conrad remembers his wife’s three decades of volunteerism.

“She did a lot of things for old St. Francis-St. George Hospital and many organizations,” said Conrad of Green Township about his wife, who died Monday from lymphoma.

She was 84.

After retiring from WLWT-TV (Channel 5) in the late 1970s, she devoted her time to the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor Foundation; AIDS Volunteers of

Cincinnati; Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra; Cincinnati O p e r a ; Springer and St. Rita Conrad schools; the University of Cincinnati; and the American Cancer Society.

She was a 1996 Enquirer Woman of the Year and 2000 Mercy Health Partners Foundation Friend of the Year.

The Price Hill native attended Mount St. Joseph Academy and College before graduating from UC’s College-Conservatory Of Music.

She started her career in the WCPO music library, and eventually appeared on TV with Mack and Dixon.

By 1950, she had moved to WLWT-TV, where she appeared on “Captain Glenn’s Bandwagon” and the “Half Pints Club” children’s shows; starred in “Leave It To Kathy,” a sitcom written by Serling; and hosted “Straw Hat Matinee” broadcast by NBC as a summer replacement series.

Kelly also did modeling and commercials in New York and Los Angeles. She came home in 1966 to cohost Braun’s afternoon show on Channel 5.

She was named the first

director of women’s features in WLWT-TV and WLW-AM in 1970. Her daily reports on civic, cultural and philanthropic events paved the way for charity work she did after marrying Conrad in 1978.

Friends, family and colleagues said Kelly never let celebrity go to her head. She loved to jokingly tell people that she was once “a star,” but always “with a twinkle in her eye because she knew she wasn’t a star,” says former Channel 5 colleague Bill Myers. “She was just a bright light.”

Her charity began at home, said daughter Kathleen Kelly Bareswilt of

White Oak. If someone just moved into a new home, “She’d say: ‘I’ll grab my paint brush and I’ll paint your closets.’ Or she’d tell my girls, ‘Bring over your prom dress, and I’ll fix the straps,’ “ Bareswilt said.

“She was the life of the party. She remembered all the names of my daughters’ friends. She knew all the servers at Price Hill Chili.

She just loved people,” Bareswilt said.

In addition to her husband and daughter, Kelly is survived by a son, Paul of Chicago; stepdaughters Clare Duane of West Chester Township; Linda Eichen-

Sampler Weekend celebrates it 25th Anniversary and ArtsWave is excited to try something new – scheduling the Arts Sampler over six weekends during the 12-week community campaign for the arts from midFebruary through April, and increasing the number of programs in neighborhood and community arts centers.

The ArtsWave Sampler Weekends celebrate the creative things – music, dance, theater, museums, and festivals. These weekends are great opportunities for families, friends, and neighbors to connect with one another and experience the arts through free events.

The six weekends will offer some 180 events at over 75 venues all over the region.

Another new feature this year will be the addition of Neighborhood Spotlights, highlighting several venues in one area with multiple programs on the same day.

Each Sampler weekend also features one of Cincinnati’s largest arts institutions.

The schedule includes: Saturday, April 23 – Spotlight Neighborhood: Over-the-Rhine - Gateway

Quarter Featured Organization: Contemporary Arts Center.

For a complete schedule of events, visit http://www.theartswave.or g/arts/sampler The ArtsWave Sampler Weekend is a celebration of the rich depth of arts and culture in our community, and is the kickoff for the annual ArtsWave Campaign, when people all across our region come together to support the fun things to do in greater Cincinnati.

“The ArtsWave Sampler Weekend gives everyone a chance to share a wide variety of experiences together,” says Margy Waller, Vice President. “We invite everyone, whether it’s your first Sampler Weekend or your 25th, to share the experience of these performances, exhibits, and special activities with family, friends and neighbors.”

Successful events return to this year’s lineup, including the Gospel Sunday Brunch at Arts Innovation Movement on April 10 and Arte Latino at AMIS (Academy of Multilingual Immersion Studies) on April 23.

Is IBS with CONSTIPATION keeping you from your favorite seat?

If you’re not finding overall symptom relief,† ask your doctor if AMITIZA can help.

Millions of people suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C). †Symptoms are defined as abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, bowel habits, and other IBS symptoms.

AMITIZA (8 mcg) twice daily is approved to treat Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) in women 18 years of age and older.

AMITIZA may help

Important Safety Information

• AMITIZA has not been studied in pregnant women and should only be used during a pregnancy if the potential benefits justify the potential risk to the fetus. Women should have a negative pregnancy test before beginning treatment with AMITIZA and need to practice effective birth control measures. If you are pregnant or become pregnant while being treated with AMITIZA, talk to your healthcare provider to evaluate the risks to the fetus.

• Some patients taking AMITIZA may experience nausea or diarrhea. If nausea occurs, take AMITIZA with food. If your nausea or diarrhea becomes severe, tell your healthcare provider.

• Within an hour of taking AMITIZA, a sensation of chest tightness and shortness of breath may occur. These symptoms usually go away within three hours, but may recur with repeated use.

Tell your healthcare provider if you experience these symptoms.

• The most common side effects of taking AMITIZA (8 mcg) twice daily, pink capsules for IBS-C are nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. These are not all the side effects associated with AMITIZA.

Talk to your doctor. Ask about AMITIZA.

Initial U.S. Approval: 2006 BRIEF SUMMARY OF PRESCRIBING INFORMATION – Please see package insert for full prescribing information.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE Chronic Idiopathic Constipation Amitiza ® is indicated for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in adults.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation Amitiza is indicated for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) in women ≥ 18 years old.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Amitiza should be taken twice daily orally with food and water.

Physicians and patients should periodically assess the need for continued therapy.

Chronic Idiopathic Constipation 24 mcg twice daily orally with food and water.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation 8 mcg twice daily orally with food and water.

DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS Amitiza is available as an oval, gelatin capsule containing 8 mcg or 24 mcg of lubiprostone.

• 8-mcg capsules are pink and are printed with “SPI” on one side • 24-mcg capsules are orange and are printed with “SPI” on one side CONTRAINDICATIONS Amitiza is contraindicated in patients with known or suspected mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Pregnancy The safety of Amitiza in pregnancy has not been evaluated in humans. In guinea pigs, lubiprostone has been shown to have the potential to cause fetal loss. Amitiza should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Women who could become pregnant should have a negative pregnancy test prior to beginning therapy with Amitiza and should be capable of complying with effective contraceptive measures. See Use in Specific Populations (8.1).

Nausea Patients taking Amitiza may experience nausea. If this occurs, concomitant administration of food with Amitiza may reduce symptoms of nausea. See Adverse Reactions (6.1).

Diarrhea Amitiza should not be prescribed to patients that have severe diarrhea. Patients should be aware of the possible occurrence of diarrhea during treatment. Patients should be instructed to inform their physician if severe diarrhea occurs. See Adverse Reactions (6.1).

Dyspnea In clinical trials conducted to study Amitiza in treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation and IBS-C there were reports of dyspnea.

This was reported at 2.5% of the treated chronic idiopathic constipation population and at 0.4% in the treated IBS-C population.

Although not classified as serious adverse events, some patients discontinued treatment on study because of this event. There have been postmarketing reports of dyspnea when using Amitiza 24 mcg.

Most have not been characterized as serious adverse events, but some patients have discontinued therapy because of dyspnea. These events have usually been described as a sensation of chest tightness and difficulty taking in a breath, and generally have an acute onset within 30–60 minutes after taking the first dose. They generally resolve within a few hours after taking the dose, but recurrence has been frequently reported with subsequent doses.

Bowel Obstruction In patients with symptoms suggestive of mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction, the treating physician should perform a thorough evaluation to confirm the absence of such an obstruction prior to initiating therapy with Amitiza.

ADVERSE REACTIONS Clinical Studies Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Chronic Idiopathic Constipation Adverse reactions in dose-finding, efficacy, and long-term clinical studies: The data described below reflect exposure to Amitiza in 1175 patients with chronic idiopathic constipation (29 at 24 mcg once daily, 1113 at 24 mcg twice daily, and 33 at 24 mcg three times daily) over 3- or 4-week, 6-month, and 12-month treatment periods; and from 316 patients receiving placebo over short-term exposure (≤ 4 weeks). The total population (N = 1491) had a mean age of 49.7 (range 19–86) years; was 87.1% female; 84.8% Caucasian, 8.5% African American, 5.0% Hispanic, 0.9% Asian; and 15.5% elderly (≥ 65 years of age). Table 1 presents data for the adverse reactions that occurred in at least 1% of patients who received Amitiza 24 mcg twice daily and that occurred more frequently with study drug than placebo. In addition, corresponding adverse reaction incidence rates in patients receiving Amitiza 24 mcg once daily is shown.

Nausea: Approximately 29% of patients who received Amitiza 24 mcg twice daily experienced an adverse reaction of nausea; 4% of patients had severe nausea while 9% of patients discontinued treatment due to nausea. The rate of nausea associated with Amitiza (any dosage) was substantially lower among male (7%) and elderly patients (18%). Further analysis of the safety data revealed that long-term exposure to Amitiza does not appear to place patients at an elevated risk for experiencing nausea. The incidence of nausea increased in a dose-dependent manner with the lowest overall incidence for nausea reported at the 24 mcg once daily dosage (17%). In open-labeled, long-term studies, patients were allowed to adjust the dosage of Amitiza down to 24 mcg once daily from 24 mcg twice daily if experiencing nausea. Nausea decreased when Amitiza was administered with food. No patients in the clinical studies were hospitalized due to nausea.

Diarrhea: Approximately 12% of patients who received Amitiza 24 mcg twice daily experienced an adverse reaction of diarrhea; 2% of patients had severe diarrhea while 2% of patients discontinued treatment due to diarrhea.

Electrolytes: No serious adverse reactions of electrolyte imbalance were reported in clinical studies, and no clinically significant changes were seen in serum electrolyte levels in patients receiving Amitiza.

Less common adverse reactions: The following adverse reactions (assessed by investigator as probably or definitely related to treatment) occurred in less than 1% of patients receiving Amitiza 24 mcg twice daily in clinical studies, occurred in at least two patients, and occurred more frequently in patients receiving study drug than those receiving placebo: fecal incontinence, muscle cramp, defecation urgency, frequent bowel movements, hyperhidrosis, pharyngolaryngeal pain, intestinal functional disorder, anxiety, cold sweat, constipation, cough, dysgeusia, eructation, influenza, joint swelling, myalgia, pain, syncope, tremor, decreased appetite.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation Adverse reactions in dose-finding, efficacy, and long-term clinical studies: The data described below reflect exposure to Amitiza 8 mcg twice daily in 1011 patients with IBS-C for up to 12 months and from 435 patients receiving placebo twice daily for up to 16 weeks. The total population (N = 1267) had a mean age of 46.5 (range 18–85) years; was 91.6% female; 77.5% Caucasian, 12.9% African American, 8.6% Hispanic, 0.4% Asian; and 8.0% elderly (≥ 65 years of age).

Includes only those events associated with treatment (possibly or probably related, as assessed by the investigator).

Less common adverse reactions: The following adverse reactions (assessed by investigator as probably related to treatment) occurred in less than 1% of patients receiving Amitiza 8 mcg twice daily in clinical studies, occurred in at least two patients, and occurred more frequently in patients receiving study drug than those receiving placebo: dyspepsia, loose stools, vomiting, fatigue, dry mouth, edema, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased aspartate aminotransferase, constipation, eructation, gastroesophageal reflux disease, dyspnea, erythema, gastritis, increased weight, palpitations, urinary tract infection, anorexia, anxiety, depression, fecal incontinence, fibromyalgia, hard feces, lethargy, rectal hemorrhage, pollakiuria.

One open-labeled, long-term clinical study was conducted in patients with IBS-C receiving Amitiza 8 mcg twice daily. This study comprised 476 intent-to-treat patients (mean age 47.5 [range 21– 82] years; 93.5% female; 79.2% Caucasian, 11.6% African American, 8.6% Hispanic, 0.2% Asian; 7.8% ≥ 65 years of age) who were treated for an additional 36 weeks following an initial 12–16-week, double-blinded treatment period. The adverse reactions that were reported during this study were similar to those observed in the two double-blinded, controlled studies.

Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of Amitiza 24 mcg for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Voluntary reports of adverse reactions occurring with the use of Amitiza include the following: syncope, allergic-type reactions (including rash, swelling, and throat tightness), malaise, increased heart rate, muscle cramps or muscle spasms, rash, and asthenia.

DRUG INTERACTIONS Based upon the results of in vitro human microsome studies, there is low likelihood of drug–drug interactions. In vitro studies using human liver microsomes indicate that cytochrome P450 isoenzymes are not involved in the metabolism of lubiprostone. Further in vitro studies indicate microsomal carbonyl reductase may be involved in the extensive biotransformation of lubiprostone to the metabolite M3 (See Pharmacokinetics [12.3].). Additionally, in vitro studies in human liver microsomes demonstrate that lubiprostone does not inhibit cytochrome P450 isoforms 3A4, 2D6, 1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C9, 2C19, or 2E1, and in vitro studies of primary cultures of human hepatocytes show no induction of cytochrome P450 isoforms 1A2, 2B6, 2C9, and 3A4 by lubiprostone. No drug–drug interaction studies have been performed. Based on the available information, no protein binding–mediated drug interactions of clinical significance are anticipated.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy Teratogenic effects: Pregnancy Category C. [See Warnings and Precautions (5.1).]

Teratology studies with lubiprostone have been conducted in rats at oral doses up to 2000 mcg/kg/day (approximately 332 times the recommended human dose, based on body surface area), and in rabbits at oral doses of up to 100 mcg/kg/day (approximately 33 times the recommended human dose, based on body surface area). Lubiprostone was not teratogenic in rats or rabbits. In guinea pigs, lubiprostone caused fetal loss at repeated doses of 10 and 25 mcg/kg/day (approximately 2 and 6 times the highest recommended human dose, respectively, based on body surface area) administered on days 40 to 53 of gestation.

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. However, during clinical testing of Amitiza, six women became pregnant. Per protocol, Amitiza was discontinued upon pregnancy detection. Four of the six women delivered healthy babies.

The fifth woman was monitored for 1 month following discontinuation of study drug, at which time the pregnancy was progressing as expected; the patient was subsequently lost to follow-up. The sixth pregnancy was electively terminated.

Amitiza should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. If a woman is or becomes pregnant while taking the drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus.

Nursing Mothers It is not known whether lubiprostone is excreted in human milk.

Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from lubiprostone, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.

Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been studied.

Geriatric Use Chronic Idiopathic Constipation The efficacy of Amitiza in the elderly (≥ 65 years of age) subpopulation was consistent with the efficacy in the overall study population. Of the total number of constipated patients treated in the dose-finding, efficacy, and long-term studies of Amitiza, 15.5% were ≥ 65 years of age, and 4.2% were ≥ 75 years of age. Elderly patients taking Amitiza (any dosage) experienced a lower incidence rate of associated nausea compared to the overall study population taking Amitiza (18% vs. 29%, respectively).

Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation The safety profile of Amitiza in the elderly (≥ 65 years of age) subpopulation (8.0% were ≥ 65 years of age and 1.8% were ≥ 75 years of age) was consistent with the safety profile in the overall study population. Clinical studies of Amitiza did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 years and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients.

Renal Impairment Amitiza has not been studied in patients who have renal impairment.

Hepatic Impairment Amitiza has not been studied in patients who have hepatic impairment.

OVERDOSAGE There have been two confirmed reports of overdosage with Amitiza.

The first report involved a 3-year-old child who accidentally ingested 7 or 8 capsules of 24 mcg of Amitiza and fully recovered. The second report was a study patient who self-administered a total of 96 mcg of Amitiza per day for 8 days. The patient experienced no adverse reactions during this time. Additionally, in a Phase 1 cardiac repolarization study, 38 of 51 patients given a single oral dose of 144 mcg of Amitiza (6 times the highest recommended dose) experienced an adverse event that was at least possibly related to the study drug. Adverse reactions that occurred in at least 1% of these patients included the following: nausea (45%), diarrhea (35%), vomiting (27%), dizziness (14%), headache (12%), abdominal pain (8%), flushing/hot flash (8%), retching (8%), dyspnea (4%), pallor (4%), stomach discomfort (4%), anorexia (2%), asthenia (2%), chest discomfort (2%), dry mouth (2%), hyperhidrosis (2%), and syncope (2%).

PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Dosing Instructions Amitiza should be taken twice daily with food and water to reduce potential symptoms of nausea. The capsule should be taken once in the morning and once in the evening daily as prescribed. The capsule should be swallowed whole and should not be broken apart or chewed. Physicians and patients should periodically assess the need for continued therapy.

Patients on treatment who experience severe nausea, diarrhea, or dyspnea should inform their physician. Patients taking Amitiza may experience dyspnea within an hour of the first dose. This symptom generally resolves within 3 hours, but may recur with repeat dosing.

Chronic Idiopathic Constipation Patients should take a single 24 mcg capsule of Amitiza twice daily with food and water.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation Patients should take a single 8 mcg capsule of Amitiza twice daily with food and water.
