BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Oak Hills cuts $1.2 million, and staff

CLEANING UP

By Monica Boylson mboylson@communitypress.com

Delhi Twp. — Oak Hills High School custodian Mike McCabe is looking for other work. He and four other custodians in the school district will be laid off effective Aug. 2 as a result of $1.2 million in cuts the school board approved during a board meeting June 17. “I’ve been putting in applications every night,” the 21-year-old said. “I’m happy it was me instead of somebody who’s got a family and kids to feed.” The failure of a five-year 4.82-mill emergency levy on the May ballot made it necessary for the district to make cuts, superintendent Todd Yohey said. “During the May levy campaign people were informed that if the levy did not pass we would see an increase in class sizes and a decrease in programs,” he said. The $1.2 million of cuts breakdown as follows: » Open positions of one part-time and nine full-time certified teachers were

Delhi Twp. — Jacqueline Myers said she started singing before she could talk. “I like to sing,” she said. “I like to touch people’s hearts when I sing.” The 7-year-old, nicknamed Sunshine, may have touched a few hearts when she auditioned for the Delhi Rising Star Competition Thursday, June 20, at Shiloh United Methodist Church. She sang a folk song, “You Gotta Walk That Lonesome Valley,” that her grandmother would sing to her when she was growing up, she said. “Singing is kind of my life because it’s my favorite thing in my whole life to do,” she said. She said she sings at her church, Delhi Hills Baptist Church, and sings for people in nursing homes. “It’s kind of fun for me,” she said. Myers joins three other contestants who will move on to the second round of the Delhi Rising Star Competition sponsored by the Delhi Civic Association and the Delhi Skirt Game. Also competing were: » Maddie Conn, 17, Bridgetown, who sang “Feeling Good” by Michael Bublé » Greg Moore, 23, Delhi, who sang “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts » Angela Williams, 28, Fort Thomas, Ky., who sang “Cups” by Anna Kendrick The four will compete in the semifi-

Elder artists recognized for their works But that’s where the recent Elder High School graduate found himself at the end of May. He was invited to the famed New York City concert hall for the 90th annual Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. He won a silver medal in the national awards program for his portfolio of eight compositions. “I was pretty excited to go to New York,” said Murphy, a Miami Township teen who graduated from Elder this year. “I really enjoyed the entire experience.” The portfolio that earned him the award and the trip to the Big Apple consisted of eight mixed media drawings, he said. The pieces were created with water color,

admissions and marketing at Elder High School, said the school is proud to have two art students recognized by the national awards program. Jake Tiernan, who is entering his junior year at Elder, also received a silver medal, Owens said. Tiernan, who didn’t make the trip to New York, won for his painting titled, “Confusion.” “The awards have grown to become the longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for creative

teens in the U.S., and the nation’s largest source of scholarships for creative young artists and writers,” Owens said. The submissions are judged by dignitaries in the visual and literary arts, and he said panelists look for works exemplifying originality, technical skill and a personal voice or message. Murphy said his mother, Theresa Murphy, who teaches art at Mother of Mercy High School, encouraged him to submit his portfolio.

Cuts

$45,000 “It’s important for people to understand that these reductions are on top of several million dollars in reductions that we’ve made over the last four years,” he said. “Reductions will continue until we find a way to generate more revenue.” Oak Hills High School custodian Khris Daniels, 33, said he understands why he was laid off. As part of the union contract with the school, in the event that they had to make lay offs, the last people hired are the first people fired, he said. “There’s nobody to be mad at,” he said. “This is what happens because people didn’t vote for the levy. People have to go.” Steve Cox, custodian union president and head custodian at J.F. Dulles Elementary School, said the elementary school is losing about 60 work hours per week. “It’s going to be doable but we’re not looking forward to it,” he said. “It affects everything. It’s going to be tough this year.” He said they will focus on the most important work, mainly cleaning restrooms, taking out trash and vacuuming

“It feels pretty cool to be recognized,” he said. “It’s good knowing you put in the effort and you got something very rewarding out of it.” Murphy will attend the University of Cincinnati this fall to study engineering, and he said although art won’t be his focus in college he’ll likely continue drawing and painting as a hobby. “It’s relaxing,” he said. “I still really enjoy it.”

He said it is the third consecutive salary freeze administrators have seen and was thankful for their cooperation. “I am very concerned about our ability to maintain high performance with less funding and fewer people,” he said. “However, we will offer the best program we can with the resources that our community and state provide.”

REGISTRATION EXTENDED The Delhi Rising Star Competition is accepting registrations through Wednesday, July 3, to audition for the competition. Registration is $10 in advance or $15 at the audition.

Delhi Twp. — It all started with one man. On Independence Day 2003, Ed Clott picked up his American flag and marched around the cottages at Bayley, a continuingcare retirement community in Delhi. His act of patriotism impressed resident Nora Hanseman and she was determined that residents follow his lead and have a proper parade, her daughter Mary Hanseman said.

secretary Karen Dazier has worked a combined 46 years in the Cincinnati Public School District and on July 12, she’ll pack up her desk and take a welldeserved break. The 66 year old is retiring after 15 years at Sayler Park School. She said she just knew it was time to go. “I started with the district in April of 1966 and left in June of 1972 because I was pregnant,” she said. “I thought I would never have to go back to work.” She said the next year her former personnel boss asked her to come back to help for six weeks when the personnel office changed locations. “It’s been the longest six weeks of my life,” she said and laughed. “That was in 1973 and six weeks later, I’m still here.” After she returned to work for the Cincinnati Public Schools, she worked in purchasing,

personnel, and was a junior typist and a senior typist. In 1988 she started working as the secretary at Rothenberg Preparatory Academy and in 1998 transferred to Sayler Park School. “My old boss at Rothenberg told me to bring cookies to my interview,” she said. “I brought a batch of homemade cookies and (Sayler Park School Principal) Mr. Vale asked me, ‘Where’s the milk?’” She said whether or not the cookies sealed the deal, she was glad she got the job.

“I’ve lived in Sayler Park all my life,” she said. “This was a dream job for me.” She said she enjoyed working with Sayler Park Principal Gary Vale and described their relationship of that of a brother and sister. “The whole staff is like family. We’re just like one

big family,” she said. “It’s been a pleasant 15 years.” Vale said he doesn’t want her to go. “I’ve been telling her to stay with me until I retire but she won’t listen to me,” he said. “We were quite a team from the first day. We worked well together and we thought along the same lines. It was a great relationship for all those years.” He said in the days leading to her retirement, he’s trying to orient himself with all the workings of the school office. “I’m trying to make

sure I know where everything is,” he said. “She kind of ran things for the last 15 years.” Dazier said as a secretary she wore many hats. “I was a nurse, babysitter, counselor,” she said. “You just have to roll with it.” She said no two days were the same but they always including interacting with the students. “I’m going to miss the kids the most,” she said. She said she’s going to look forward to sleeping in and doing whatever she wants, especially travel-

ing. “It’s not going to hit me until Aug. 1 when I don’t have to set my alarm to go to work,” she said. “I’ve always worked. It’s all I know.” Vale said she will be missed. “If you look up the definition of a good administrative assistant in the dictionary, you’ll find her picture,” he said. “She may not be in the building next school year but certainly we’ll remember her for all the years she devoted to Sayler Park School.”

Baptist churches merge in Delhi Township Pastors say Lord brought them together By Monica Boylson mboylson@communitypress.com

Delhi Twp. — Two flocks have become one as the Cincinnati West Baptist Church of Addyston has merged with Delhi Hills Baptist Church. Delhi Hills Baptist Church Rev. Bob Overberg said that it was divine intervention that brought the Rev. Harry Lusby to his door. “We had been praying for quite some time that another church would join with us,” he said. Overberg said the membership at his church was not what it used to be and there were not many children to continue the faith. Lusby said for years he and his wife Nancy had admired the large church and lot and were waiting for the day that they could serve in the building. So, when he heard that Delhi Hills was looking to merge, he was thrilled. “We prayed about it for 25 years,” he said. “I just thought the Lord brought us together at the right time for the right reason.” The churches merged in January and since have worked to increase programs and be more active in the community, Overberg said.

“Brother Harry has the same vision to see the church grow,” he said. Programs they offer include: Sunday school for children and adults, Bible study, visitation to people in the hospital or who cannot leave their home, youth choir class and transportation for people who would like to go to church. “Our goal is to see the church full,” Overberg said. He said so far the transition has been smooth and now they’re just trying to be more visible in the community. “We’ve had visitors every week,” he said. Lusby said one thing he wants to do is to go doorto-door in the township and talk to people about Christ and let them know the church is available to them. “People don’t realize the value and the quality that a church brings to the community,” he said. “You come to this church you find great teachers, good preachers and good music.” The Church is at 5421 Foley Road. Sunday School begins at 10 a.m. followed by a Sunday morning worship at 11 a.m. At 7 p.m. on Wednesdays there is a prayer meeting and Bible study, youth music and drama club and the nursery is open.

Light shoos away unwanted geese By Amanada Hopkins westnews@communitypress.com

Sayler Park — Geese can be pesky creatures. They take over a pond or lake in a homeowner’s yard or cause a backup crossing a busy road with their goslings. Tom Wells, owner of

Away With Geese, said the animals are loud and can produce three to four pounds of fecal matter per day per goose. Wells said that can cause health issues in ponds or in parks or on playing fields. The fecal matter produces algae, duckweed and E-coli that in-

fect humans that may come into contact. Wells of Sayler Park and his son Jason Wells of Delhi Township, the company’s director of operations, and daughter Jody Weber of Northside, working in business development, have patented a product that emits a small solar-powered light that bothers the geese and forces them to find another place to roam. “We don’t have a geese problem in Sayler Park,” Tom Wells joked. “My wife and I notice that every morning they fly over the house but they don’t stick around.” Jason Wells said the Away With Geese light unit will look like someone lighting a cigarette to human eyes but to geese is very bothersome. One light will cover about three and a half acres of land. “It just started out as something we built in the garage,” Wells said. Wells relies on Google Earth to map out the affected land for clients and find the best place to install an Away With Geese unit. According to Tom Wells, the geese population increases 13 to 15 percent each year. There

The product is deemed environmentally friendly, humane and not a bother to humans. “We understand we have a product that works and we’re not afraid to guarantee it,” said Tom Wells. “We don’t harm the geese. We make them find a new home.” Away With Geese recently partnered with the Lake Superior Watershed Conservancy, an in-

ternational non-profit organization that works to ensure the long-term sustainable health of the Lake Superior watershed. Tom Wells said the partnership works for both groups because all involved are looking for ways to protect the environment and ensure water quality. “We’re very much naturalists,” said Wells. Away With Geese has also joined 1% For The Planet, an organization that enlists businesses to donate one percent of their annual profit to non-profit environmen-

tal organizations. “It is a good way to raise up and help the nonprofits,” Weber said. Wells agreed. “It is important to give back and start looking to help (the environment) improve.” Away With Geese is marketed worldwide and has many distributors across the United States. The light unit is available for land, water, sports fields and other areas around homes, businesses, golf courses and athletic fields. To learn more about Away With Geese, go to awaywithgeese.com.

ministrator Eugene Nicholas said he hopes people leave the Panegyri Greek Festival full and happy. “We try to make sure everyone feels welcome and can experience the Greek culture,” he said. The 39th annual festival is 5 to 11 p.m. Friday, June 28; 3 to 11 p.m. Saturday, June 29; and 1 to 8 p.m. Sunday, June 30, at the church, 7000 Winton Road. Free parking is available at St. Xavier High School, 600 W. North Bend Road, with shuttle service to the festival. There will be traditional Greek food and desserts, dancing, entertainment and cooking demonstrations. There will also be tours of the church, the church bookstore will be open and there will be some market vendors selling clothing and jewelry. Carnival rides are also part of the festival. “Our biggest focus is the food,” Nicholas said, adding that last year they sold 12,000 gyros. A gyro is a pita bread sandwich made with a blend of beef and lamb meat, tomatoes, onions and is topped with tzatziki sauce, a blend of Greek yogurt and cucumbers. He said they will also offer Greek express dinners with a choice of one of five entrees including chicken and lamb served with rice pilaf, green beans, Greek salad and bread. He said for those who may be shy of trying new things, there will be Skyline chili available which, he added, was started by Greek immigrants. “We have the festival set up so that the main courses are right there when you walk in,” he said. “There will be a la carte items like the Greek pizza and we have loukoumathes, which are Greek doughnuts that people like to buy right before they leave.” General chairman for

the festival Frank Cook said that once you walk through the front gate, you have a good time. “People put down a hundred bucks to eat, drink and be Greek for an hour,” he said. He said that he likes to see people enjoy the festival. “It’s great to see the smiles on people’s faces and knowing that we’re bringing joy to the community,” he said. While Nicholas said he may be partial, he said he thinks you can’t have a better time in Cincinnati.

“I think we put on the best festival in town,” he said. Admission to the festival is $2 and children ages 12 and younger are free. Greek dancers will perform every hour during the festival. Cooking demonstrations will be at 5:30 p.m., 8 pm. and 9:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 2:30 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday.

Area World War II veteran shares his story By Kurt Backscheider

kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Delhi Twp. — Sixty-sev-

en years after leaving Europe, Harry Lee recently returned to one of the countries he helped liberate during World War II. The 87-year-old Delhi Township resident, who served in the U.S. Army during the war, traveled to the Czech Republic in May with fellow members of the Yankee Division Veterans Association. The soldiers toured several villages they help liberate at the end of the war, and were presented the Commemorative Medal of the Regional Military Command by the Czech military for their active participation in the liberation of what was then Czechoslovakia. “It was out of this world,” Lee said. “The Czech people treated us like a million bucks. I never expected to be treated that way.” The trip included ceremonies in four towns, each of which has a memorial dedicated to the Yankee Division, he said. The veterans were presented their medals in a town called Pilsen, in front of a crowd of 10,000 people gathered in the town square, he said. George Patton Waters, the grandson of Army Gen. George S. Patton, also attended the ceremony in Pilsen and presented the Yankee Division members a medallion. After the ceremony, Lee and the veterans were the fo-

cal point of a parade through the town. “It was a really amazing thing,” Lee said. “I’m really glad we went. It was a wonderful trip.” His daughter, Joy Gilbert, accompanied him on the trip and said she is blessed she was able to share the experience with her father. “My dad and the other World War II veterans who traveled with us were treated like rock stars,” she said. “The Czech people really appreciated the U.S. efforts in liberating them and showed their appreciation. “Women blew kisses at my dad and some even threw flowers at him,” Gilbert said.

Uncle Sam wants you

Lee grew up in Price Hill and graduated from Elder High School in 1943. Like many young men his age, he said he wanted to join the military and serve his country during the war. “I went down to join the Navy, but I didn’t weigh enough,” he said. “So I had to wait until I was drafted.” The Army came calling in 1944, and soon Lee found himself in basic training at Camp Hood in Texas, he said. He became a rifleman in the Army’s 26th Infantry Division, and was shipped to Europe in 1945. “They called us the Yankee Division,” he said. “I was a rifleman. We had to fire all the weapons –

pistols, mortars, machine guns.” Lee said his unit landed in France and then took a train to Luxembourg. “From then on we walked,” he said. “That’s when I started into combat.”

European campaign

Lee and his unit fought their way through Belgium, Austria and Germany, and eventually met up with Russian troops in Czechoslovakia near the end of the war, he said. One of the battles he participated in was the famous Battle of the Bulge, he said. Most of what he recalls from the battle was the fact it was bitter cold. “It was usually no more than 5 (degrees) above zero,” Lee said. “The Germans wore their top coats, so they gave us orders to shoot anyone with a long coat on. Because of that, Patton wouldn’t let us wear our top coats. We had to make do with our field jackets.” After making it

through the Battle of the Bulge, Lee was awarded the Bronze Star for the bravery he displayed during combat in a small German town. He doesn’t remember the name of the town, but he can still picture the bridge he and two other soldiers were ordered to watch. The bridge served as the only means of crossing a river, and he said the Germans were trying to blow it up. Hunkered down in the basement of a nearby building, Lee and the other riflemen had to thwart a German attack until more U.S. troops arrived. As the Germans bombarded the upper floors of

8th-graders examine careers Eighth grade students from all three of Oak Hills’ middle schools visited Bridgetown Middle School to talk with local business people and learn about a variety of careers. The day left a lasting impression on the students. They have been given the opportunity to learn about the many options available to them after graduation. A career fair such as this one makes it possible for the students to have one-onone time with experts in the profession of their choice. With a number of business and industries represented, students had the chance to explore many options and ask questions of the exhibitors. When asked what she had learned at the career fair, Holly Reuss said, “I learned that no matter what your job is, you are always important in society and you should just do the best job you can do.” Emily Metz, a language arts teacher at Bridgetown Middle School, coordinated this year’s event. “We want to thank the many parents, business partners, alumni, board members and community members who came out to represent their career and interact with our students,” she said. “This experience really opens their eyes to the variety of possibilities that their future holds.” Special thanks to all of the professionals who came out to encourage the students to follow their dreams and keep an open mind to all the opportuni-

Leadership is a quality some are born with and others develop through their own experiences. For Oak Hills graduate Mitch Bischoff, his experiences of being at the bottom and working his way to the top let him relate and share his wisdom with others. For this reason along with his athletic and academic achievements and community service work, Bischoff was named the 2013 Delhi Press and Price Hill Press Sportsman of the Year. For his recognition he received two Cincinnati Reds tickets courtesy of the organization. The future Cincinnati Bearcat was awarded the Outstanding Leadership Award at the first Oak Hills OAKY Awards May 5, an honor he was surprised he received considering the amount of nominees. “… I ask people a lot of things, I include them and I guess that is what they saw in me when I won the award,” Bischoff said. “I’ve been on all spectrums when it comes to athletics; I’ve been at the bottom and I’ve had days when I felt like I was the best.” University of Cincinnati President Santa Ono presented the award, which capped off the evening. “It was awesome,” he said. “… Everything he does I just think is terrific. He puts himself out there and it’s a good mixture of business and fun. He’s all the more reason to go there.” The former Highlander has not only learned from his experiences but also from those around him. At the National Youth Service Summit, Bischoff listened to a war veteran who lost both his legs in battle speak about his life and how to overcome challenges you are faced with. “Hearing him talk about overcoming his challenges was cool and it just shows that because you get knocked down you can get back up,” he said. While at Oak Hills he was a member of the swim, cross country and track teams while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. He graduated with highest honors and plans on majoring in biomedical engineering at UC. The path Bischoff is on isn’t surpris-

The list of Erika LaRosa’s athletic and academic accomplishments might stretch from Seton High School to Price Hill Chili. Add in her community service work, the list may go all the way to Phillips Swim Club. Her performance in the classroom and on the playing field are what helped her earn the 2013 Delhi Press/Price Hill Press Sportswoman of the Year. She received two Cincinnati Reds tickets courtesy of the organization. Recently added to her list of community service work was a mission trip to Guatemala with fellow Seton High School students and faculty where they worked at the Aqua Viva Orphanage, helping to provide 72 Guatemalan students with an education. “It was definitely a life-changing experience,” LaRosa said. “We did a lot of painting and digging.” The future Xavier Musketeer graduated with a 3.91 GPA, was a member of National Honor Society, a Senior Principal Award winner and Senior Religious Department Award winner in 2013, an Ohio Athletic Coaches Academic Excellence Award winner in 2011-12 and an Ohio Academic All-Southwest Award winning from 2010-2012. “It’s definitely very humbling and I am very proud to be named (a winner of those awards),” she said. “A lot of people assume with my family name a lot of things are handed to me. It really shows my hard work paid off in the end.” Her success in the classroom combined with her success on the field showed Xavier women’s soccer coach Woody Sherwood an intangible he really likes in LaRosa. “… She has a lot of maturity,” Sherwood said. “When you are dealing with high school seniors, that isn’t the first word that comes to mind sometimes. She’s got it.” There isn’t enough room in the newspaper to list all of her athletic accomplishments, but the one that might mean the most was being nominated for the Wendy’s High School Heisman Award. “That means the world to me,” LaRo-

ing to former Oak Hills cross country coach Joe Zeinner. “I’ve been watching him from his freshman year to now and you knew this was coming,” the coach said. “He was always asking questions and more importantly asking, ‘what can I do for the team?’ … As a freshmen I knew there was something there with this kid.” While he will not run for the Bearcats next season, count on Bischoff getting it done in the classroom and becoming a future leader in whatever path he chooses after college. “He started from the bottom and knows what it takes to get where he is going,” Zeinner said. “… He kept his head down and kept working and it showed. It’s nice to see a kid come in with so many goals, go for them and achieve them.”

sa said. “I think (Seton athletic director Janie Shaffer) nominated me and I know how many talented athletes there are at (Seton) and to think she nominated me is pretty humbling.” It was an interesting road for LaRosa in trying to make a college commitment. In the end she signed with Xavier, but not before de-committing from neighborhood rival Cincinnati. “My faith is a big part of my life and I didn’t think I could live it out at UC like I wanted to so I started to look at other options,” she said. “I visited Xavier and faith is a big part of their team and I think it is the best choice for me not only as an athlete but as a person.” One thing is for sure: Sherwood sure is glad she made that decision. “… It’s hard to watch a game with 11 on each side and find a girl who will outwork her,” the coach said. “That’s been something that’s helped her get to where she’s gotten for sure. The more you watch her, the more you appreciate what she does for her team.”

I recently experienced a change in health care delivery and I want to share it with your readers. I had a patient admitted to Children’s Hospital and during the patient’s hospitalization we needed to obtain treatment records from the patient’s visit one week prior to a local retail clinic. Unfortunately, it took three days for that clinic to track down and send us the information we needed to treat our patient appropriately. Fortunately for our patient, the delay did not adversely affect care or outcome. Patients should know that if they go to a facility that has an affiliation with their physician practice, their doctor will have immediate and secure access to any encounter, whether it is treatment by a physician, lab, or Xrays. For patients in our practice as well as many others, the new TriHealth Priority Care facility on Glenway near Werk Road or the new Green Township Children’s Hospital Urgent Care Center on Harrison Avenue can provide us with secure access to records, whereas retail clinics cannot. Patients should understand that prompt access to their medical records is vitally important. Where they choose to receive medical care can affect that access.

Comments inaccurate

Trustee (Jerry) Luebber’s response to my comments in the June 19 Viewpoints is most inaccurate. I never suggested that $473,000 in annual revenue received from the permanent park should be enough to maintain “current park operations.” What I said was that when the levy was passed in 2005 the voters felt that this amount was adequate to operate the parks. I’m certain senior voters felt that levy would enable them use of their center for many years. Mr. Luebbers speaks truth when he states that I supported the subsidy of the parks during my terms as trustee. At that time we had the funds to do this. As a proponent for maintaining a quality park system, I approved expenditures for park property acquisition and facility enhancement totaling over five times what was spent on the Delhi Pike Thoroughfare project (that in itself which also brought tremendous benefit to Delhi Park). “Smell test?” I believe what voters thought smelled was the reckless spending of park management, the well-publicized inappropriate behav-

Park usage fee

In regards to Jerry Luebbers’ column, in the June 19 Delhi Press Viewpoints, about the park levy. It had not been long ago (I think two years) the park employees were promoted, which resulted in raises for them. If the general fund was subsidizing the parks fund, did it not seem foolish to add more cost to their operation? Now the parks want money. Why not charge a fee for using the parks? You are charging the seniors for using the senior center ($6,000 for Tuesday through Friday the rest of 2013). The county parks charge for the use of their parks, and we pay taxes for those parks also.

Kenneth F. Lammers Sr. Delhi Township

Does board care?

On June 3, I attempted to go to the Oak Hills school board meeting. I had some questions that I wanted to ask. My wife had called them and was told that the meeting was open to the public. The meeting opened at 5 and at 5:05, the board adjourned for an executive session. I waited 20 minutes and left. Most meetings I’ve been to put the executive session at the end of the meeting, so this told me exactly what

they think of the public’s opinion. It seems to me that they look at John Q. Taxpayer as a cash cow and they milk us for all they can get. They don’t really care about the kids, just the money. My wife even commented to me about the fancy chairs we sat in. Stop by the board of education building and see where your money goes. Although I didn’t get any of my questions answered, I sure found out how they felt about me. I didn’t vote for the tax levy this time around and I won’t vote for any more tax levies even if it doesn’t cost me another nickel.

David McIntosh Green Township

Trustees alienating civic groups

Now Trustee Jerry Luebbers leads the charge to lock out and further alienate foundational civic-minded organizations from using park facilities unless they pay a usage fee. It’s outrageous that the Delhi Seniors are being charged $6,000 to use the Neeb Road Senior Center for the remainder of the year. The Delhi Civic Association, Delhi Skirt Game Committee, the Delhi Township Veterans, the Delhi Historical Society, and the Delhi Business Association (see a common thread here) have all made arrangements to meet in other locations and many of the members pay these fees in their taxes to the township each year, which also help support the parks. Sadly, the trustees appear to have now lost all support for any future attempt to pass a park levy, instead have decided on leasing the facilities to the very associations that support our township to makeup for their mismanagement. The trustees need to reduce general expenses to live within their means. The voters spoke loudly in defeating the recent park levy by a significant number (67 percent against to 33 percent for the levy). Former Financial Advisory Board (FAB) members feel that the parks department can operate successfully with the almost one-half million dollar funding received from existing permanent tax levy by consolidating the Parks Department with Public Works Department like other neighboring communities have done, or sell off extra property to builders which will generate additional tax income.

convention assisting 1,200 or so people who are blind around the hotel to all sorts of meetings and activities, she will be bringing her 11-year-old granddaughter, Gracie, and her 13year-old grandson, Patton, with her as volunteer guides. Being a guide for a person who is blind is simpler than some may think. Walking beside a person who is blind and letting him or her hold on to your arm is the basic technique. Of course at our national conventions when there are hundreds of us running around and trying to get to business sessions, technology workshops, travel seminars, gospel singing sessions among dozens of other convention activities on time, the guiding, maybe along with some colliding, can be a little intense. At our conventions, hundreds of people who are blind come together from all over the country and learn from one another. Perhaps, the workers at the hotel where we stay also learn a thing or two from us as do the volunteer guides. A publication of

Sue is a retired school teacher who greatly enjoys her retirement years giving to others, and, as she says, receiving 10 times more in return. I cannot help thinking that Sue is also giving her children and grandchildren a legacy and inheritance beyond measure – she has taught them by example the sheer joy and satisfaction of reaching out to others, of moving beyond their comfort zones, and finding adventures and happiness beyond measure. Our local American Council of the Blind’s fondest wish and dream is to find more sue Wesleys out there somewhere. Is Sue one of a kind, or are there other such angels flitting about looking for work?

JUNE 26, 2013 • DELHI-PRICE HILL PRESS • B3

Celebrate summer with tomato appetizer, preserves and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook gently until tomatoes become transparent, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 12-18 hours in a cool place. Remove tomatoes and lemon from syrup. Boil syrup 2-3 minutes or longer to thicken. Return tomatoes and lemon to syrup; boil one minute. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot preserves into hot jars, leaving 1⁄4 inch head space. Wipe rims with clean wet cloth. Adjust caps. Process 20 minutes in boiling water canner. Makes about 3 pints.

I opened my freezer yesterday and had to laugh. Nestled among the organic mango slices, edamame, homemade baby food and hibiscus mint syrup were a giant box of store-bought Popsicles in every shade of the rainbow, three Kit Kat candy bars and five Baby Ruths. Well, I guess that’s Rita called Heikenfeld balance. RITA’S KITCHEN

Maggie’s cheesy artichoke and tomato triangles From Maggie Hoerst, who our grandchildren fondly call “Dez.” Maggie brought this to grandson Luke’s birthday party, and everyone kept coming back for seconds and thirds. It was delicious even at room temperature, so would be great appetizer to tote to that Fourth of July picnic. Yes, that holiday will be here before you know it! 16 oz. refrigerated crescent rolls 16 oz. cream cheese, softened Zest of 1 lemon 2 eggs 1 clove garlic, minced 14 oz. can artichoke hearts in water, drained and finely chopped

Rita shares her Aunt Margaret’s recipe for tomato preserves with a touch of lemon. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD. 1 cup Parmesan cheese, divided 2 plum tomatoes, sliced 2 tablespoons fresh parsley 1 ⁄2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unroll crescent rolls, press the seams to fit 9-inch by 13-inch or jellyroll pan, and press the rolls up the sides just a bit if you can. Bake 10-12 min or until light golden brown. Remove from oven, let cool. Mix cream cheese, zest lemon, eggs, garlic, artichokes and 1⁄2 cup Parmesan cheese. Spread over crust, and then arrange tomato slices over filling.

Combine 1⁄2 cup cheese, parsley and black pepper in small bowl and sprinkle evenly over filling. Bake 25-30 min or until light golden brown and set. Cool 10 minutes, cut into 12 squares and cut each square in half diagonally. Makes about 24 appetizers.

Aunt Margaret’s classic tomato preserves I may have hit upon something unique here. After I published the classic strawberry jam recipe, I received several inquiries about other classic/put-up preserves

and jams, so I will be sharing those heirloom recipes as we go into summer. One request was from Lana, a Florence reader who said “My grandma made tomato preserves with a lemon wedge in every jar. There was no cinnamon, just sugar, lemon and tomatoes. No one seems to have a recipe for it.” Well, guess what, Lana. I do and it’s from my sweet Aunt Margaret, who we call our second mom. Aunt Margaret makes tomato preserves like Lana’s grandmom. Aunt Margaret goes to taste on most things, but

If you like, add 1 tablespoon mixed pickling spices and 1⁄2-inch piece fresh gingerroot tied in cheesecloth or in a tea ball and add with the sugar, lemon and water. Remove after you let the preserves stand in cool place. Or add a piece of cinnamon stick to each jar before sealing. You can use green tomatoes if you like.

Stautberg family to chair 2013 CISE campaign The annual Catholic Inner-city Schools Education Fund (CISE) Campaign will be chaired by a family once again. The campaign will be led by Tim Stautberg as the 2013 campaign chair. Stautberg is senior vice president, Newspaper Group for The E.W. Scripps Co. He will be supported by his siblings, Peter, Beth, Chris and Matt, who will all serve as cochairpersons. “The CISE-supported schools are a safe and nurturing environment for learning and a beacon of hope in many of Cincinnati’s urban neighborhoods,” said Tim Stautberg. “For every one of our students, education is the key to helping them realize their full potential and a Catholic education reminds each of them that they are a gift from God with talents to share.” Peter Stautberg is an attorney with Fifth Third Bank and State Representative for the 27th House District. He also serves on the CISE Advisory Board. Beth is general counsel and senior vice president of legal and pub-

lic affairs for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Chris is a guidance consultant with Fidelity Investments. Matt is the group vice president of financial planning and investor relations at Macy’s, Inc. All are graduates of local Catholic grade and high schools. Archbishop Dennis Schnurr said, “We are very grateful to our donors, and to the Stautbergs, for their leadership of this important effort. We are blessed to have a wealth of talent serving in chairmanship roles this year.” The annual campaign is the major source of funding for CISE, which provides tuition assistance, operating support and enrichment programs for the CISE elementary schools. The CISE Campaign will officially kick off on August 29 with a celebration at the Great American Ball Park. The Stautbergs have been reaching out to the community for assistance in reaching this year’s goal of $2.5 million. The Stautbergs and other volunteers will be contacting

Arts series concerts start in September Proceeds help Catholic elementary schools in Greater Cincinnati The Greater Cincinnati Performing Arts Society (GCPAS) will launch its seventh concert series beginning in September. The organization was founded in 2007 by Rob Ellig and Pete Ellerhorst with a mission of filling a mid-level void in the performing arts community here in Cincinnati. “There are several 400500 seat venues in town and from there it jumps to 2,500,” says Ellerhorst. “There are a lot of amazing entertainers that can draw 700, 800 or 1,000 heads but there is no place for them here.” The GCPAS uses high school and college facilities to bring in a wide range of artists from virtually every genre of music. “We want to provide a nice mix of musical styles so every show is something different. It could be blues, Celtic, bluegrass, a capella, folk or even classic rock or oldies”, says Ellerhorst. “Since we only do seven shows in the series, we really have to do our homework. All of the artists in our series are some of the best in the business”. Ellerhorst and Ellig came up with the idea after seeing guitarist Tommy Emmanuel at a performance in Elizabethtown, Ky. “We were so blown away”, says Ellerhorst. “The entire way home, all

Rob and I could talk about was why no one was bringing Tommy to Cincinnati.” It was the following year when they decided to take matters into their own hands. Since then, the series and the organization have continued to grow and word continued to trickle out. The most recent season which wrapped up in May, has been their best season to date, according to Ellerhorst. “It appears that people finally figured out who we are and what we are doing and what a great value our shows really are,” he says. “It has taken some time and a lot of energy, but it looks like we have finally turned the corner.” » The GCPAS series for 2013-2014 will kick off with the Emmanuel at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15, at the McAuley Performing Arts Center. » On Saturday, Oct. 19, country singer Collin Raye will perform at the College of Mount St. Joseph. » The blues and roots music of the Texas Guitar Women featuring fivetime Grammy winner Cindy Cashdollar will perform on Saturday, Nov. 23, at the McAuley Performing Arts Center. » The GCPAS will feature The Grascals, one of the hottest bands on the bluegrass circuit and a group which was nominated for a Grammy this year, at the St. Xavier Per-

The blues and roots music of the Texas Guitar Women featuring five-time Grammy winner Cindy Cashdollar will perform on Saturday, Nov. 23. PROVIDED

Tommy Emmanuel will preform in the The Greater Cincinnati performing Arts Society series on Sept. 25 at the McAuley High School Perfomring Arts Center in College Hill. PROVIDED

formance Center Saturday, Jan. 25. » The Celtic group Solas will be featured at the

McAuley Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Feb. 22. » The crazy antics of Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours will take place at the Martin Marietta Theater at Harrison High School Saturday, April 5. » The series will wrap up on Saturday, May 1,0 with the classic music of Ambrosia at the McAuley Performing Arts Center. All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. Patron and season ticket packages are available as well as four-packs which offer some flexibility and some added value. The concerts have been festival seating, but this upcoming season will offer something new. “We will be offering some reserved seating for three concerts this season for those who do not prefer a festival seating for-

mat or can’t stand in line for an extended period of time in order to get a good seat,” says Ellerhorst. “People have also said they have to rush through dinner so they can get in line early. This way they can take their time and get there five minutes prior to show time. I think we can easily make this a hybrid”. In addition to the mission of bringing in great performers, the GCPAS has a charitable mission as well. They are a registered non-profit charity with a mission of supporting Catholic elementary schools throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. When people purchase a ticket to a performance ($30 - $35), they can designate $5 to go to the tuition assistance program to any one of 94 elementary schools including St. Rita

School For the Deaf and St. Joseph Orphanage. This last season, donations were made to 71 schools. During the last concert season, the GCPAS was approached by the ESAP Organization, which also has a mission of supporting Catholic education. After recognizing that they had similar missions, ESAP agreed to partner with GCPAS and is matching all money donated. This, in essence, make the donation $10 per ticket. “This model we have created is really an innovative way that the performing arts and education feed off each other. It really is a win/win in every sense of the word,” says Ellerhorst. For more information on the shows and the series, go to www.gcparts.org or call 513-484-0157.

Music program immerses students into opportunities The College of Mount St. Joseph’s music department began a new program this year that immerses students into different areas of the music industry. The immersion program focuses on performing, music education, studio recording and studio teaching. The philosophy behind the immersion program is to expose students to areas of the music industry that they might not have considered as a career choice, and has so far proven beneficial to several students who have been a part of the program. Tony Gourley, a senior studying music education, has had the opportunity to sit in with both the Cincinnati Symphony and Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra. Kirsten Grimsley, a junior studying music edu-

cation, had the chance to join the Fillmore Wind Band, a community band in Kentucky made up of almost all professional musicians. “The immersion program has given these students a chance to sit in and perform with groups that they might never had the chance to play with,” said Bryan Crisp, program coordinator in the music department. “It’s really beneficial for them, and helps them find out what they really want to do.” Dan Wilson, a senior studying music with an emphasis in classical guitar feels that the program has solidified his career choice. “The program helped me to discover that my real desire was to continue to teach private music lessons as a career choice once I graduate,” he said.

Community remembering Morgan’s Raid July marks 150th anniversary of Civil War raid

This sign marking the trail of Morgan’s Raid through Ohio is southbound on Blue Rock Road at the entrance to eastbound Interstate 275. JENNIE

By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com

The sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, which runs through 2015, provide fresh opportunities for a new generation to rediscover ways in which people from our communities played a key role in the war. The Ohio raid of July 1863 by Confederate Gen. John Hunt Morgan is being commemorated on its 150th anniversary this year. Better known as Morgan’s Raid, there are activities planned here to mark it. Coleraine Historical Society President Mary Burdett said the society participated in the dedication of markers and interpretive signs for the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail last week, setting the stage for the anniversary. Ohio has installed more than 700 interpretive and directional signs marking the path the Confederate troops took through Ohio from Hamilton County to Columbiana County where they were finally captured. After traveling for almost two weeks from Tennessee through Kentucky and Indiana, the Confederates entered Ohio at Harrison. The tired raiders stopped to rest along Colerain Pike. Several of Morgan’s men were dispatched down the pike to spy on what was happening in downtown Cincinnati. One of them was captured. The other two made it back safely to rejoin the 2,000 raiders who had set off for Reading, Glendale, Springdale, Sharonville and Montgomery. On Saturday, July 13, the 150th anniversary of the raid date in this area, the North and South will face each other in the Morgan’s Raid 5-Mile Walk Race sponsored by

KEY/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

the historical society at Heritage Park, 11405 East Miami River Road. There is a Horwitz parking pass fee, $10 per year, $5 per day, to drive into the park. Chris Henson, treasurer for the Coleraine Historical Society, said walkers wearing blue for North or gray for South will start the race at a “Mason-Dixon” line and will walk in opposite directions on the course. Walkers will follow part of the route taken by Morgan’s Raiders as they rode across Ohio 150 years ago on July 13, 1863. “They will come faceto-face four times during the walk,” she said. “And there will be Civil War reenactors at the park during the walk.” The reenactors include the 6th Ohio Volunteers Cavalry and re-enactor Jonathan M. Jackson, who portrays Confederate generals and researched and wrote books and papers on Morgan and his famous raid. Race registration is 7:30 a.m. and the race starts at 8:30 a.m. Race day registration will be $20 with no guarantee of shirt size or color. All proceeds benefit the Coleraine Historical Museum. For the hard copy registration form, you can download it at

Cover of “The Longest Raid of the Civil War,” by Lester V. Horwitz about Morgan’s Raid.

bit.ly/morganraid, email http://settingthestage @fuse.net. Henson said the historical society still needs volunteers for the walk race event. Call 513-3856607 for information or to get a registration form. Jackson, who writes under the name of Alexius Rex, will be signing books at Heritage Park from 10 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Coleraine Historical Society’s Museum at 4725 Springdale Road. The historical society will also sponsor a presentation about the raid by Pulitzer Prize-nominated author Lester V. Horwitz, who will talk about Morgan’s Raid based on his best-selling book, “The Longest Raid of the Civil War.” Horwitz will speak at 4 p.m. Saturday, July 13, in the Colerain Township Izaak Walton League Hall, 3504 Bevis Lane. Cost is $7 per person. Call 513-385-7566 for tickets.

Horwitz wrote the musical play “The Rebels Are Coming,” which dramatized the story of Morgan’s Raid through this area. The CD with 18 songs written for the play and autographed copies of his book will be available at the Colerain presentation. Horwitz will also display two large maps. One shows the homes that were raided and claims made for damages against the Confederates. The other shows the raiders’ path through Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. The historical society will place flags at Civil War graves in July and the museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday through the end of July. In Green Township, Monfort Heights United Methodist Church will present a Civil War reenactment celebrating the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War and Morgan Raiders from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, in Asbury Chapel, cemetery and church lot at the church, 3682 West Fork Road. There will be presentations in the Asbury house on the Civil War and Morgan’s Raiders, demonstrations of cannons and other Civil War era weapons, reenactors, music, arts, crafts, food and games. If you have a group that would be interested in setting up a booth, contact Melissa Wilz at 513574-8940.

Burger place now open on West Side By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com

Colerain Twp. — Mad Mike’s Burgers and Fries has made its way across the river and landed in White Oak. The new restaurant at 6900 Cheviot Road, at Blue Rock Road in the old Chili Company building, opened April 28. Demetris Hiropoulos owns this Mad Mike’s with his father, George. There are three other locations, in Newport and Florence, Ky. All family owned. They like it that way. Demetris, who has worked in the food industry for 17 years, says his dad has been in the restaurant business for 40 years. His cousin Mike Gelastopoulos came up with the original idea. “Everyone in my family loves to cook,” Gelastopoulos said. “We have a passion for it.” The family has run diners and full-service restaurants and pizza parlors in the past. “We decided to focus on one thing and make it really good,” Demetris said. He went to culinary school in Europe, getting an associate’s degree in culinary arts, then came home to put his knowledge to work. The new place is a work in progress. TVs are still to be hung in the dining area, and the parking lot needs some work. And Demetris says he’s in the process of getting a liquor license to sell draft and bottled beer. “It takes time,” he said.

Got burgers? The crew at Mike’s Burgers, from left, Akis Hiropoulos, Demetris Hiropoulos and Daby Gueye, have the answer: yes. The new restaurant opened April 29 and business has been brisk. JENNIE KEY/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

“We’re getting there.” The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m, but eventually, he plans to stay open late – until 3 a.m. – in hopes of getting business from the Knotty Pine bar across the street. “We’ll see how it goes,” he said. He’s looking forward to being part of the community and will have a discount program with area schools. He wants to add school memorabilia to the walls. The menu is focused: Burgers and hot dogs. The family worked with Mike to come up with the names for menu items.

You can get black angus beef burgers of all sorts from a classic cheeseburger with the traditional lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion to the more exotic. Want your sandwich Greek style? Try the Pride of Zeus, which features gyro meat, feta cheese, tzaziki (a cucumber sauce), lettuce, onion. The Mad Cali features avocado mayonnaise, lettuce, avocado slices, tomato, onion, pepper jack, and tzaziki. Or maybe the Hawaii Five-O, with caramelized crushed pineapple, beer battered onion strings, American cheese

and bacon. If you’re hungry, the Goliath may be for you. It uses two grilled cheese sandwiches for the bun, and offers bacon, grilled onions, cheese, lettuce, tomato, two quarter-pound beef patties and tangy barbeque sauce. “It’s popular, and it’s fun to eat,” Demetris said. “I don’t know that everyone finishes it.” Chicken burgers – fresh-ground white chicken patties, smash-seared –are the newest addition to the menu including the What the Cluck burger, which features cilantro mayo, avocado slices, ba-

ton, Swiss cheese, lettuce and tomato. Demetris says what makes his family’s burger joint better is the variety of toppings they offer and the freshness of the meat they serve. “We don’t freeze it and it’s pattied up daily,” he said. “We cut our fries fresh daily as well.” You can get a lot of things at Mad Mike’s, but not a rare burger. “We serve all our burgers well done,” he said. “But nice and juicy. Well done, but done well.” He’s pleased with the new location. “We heard good things about the community, and the peo-

ple we’ve met so far have been very nice. He says the family does not have national franchise aspirations. “We don’t want to get too big,” Demetris said. “We want to make sure the product stays good and we like having contact with the customers, meeting them and talking with them. We like putting smiles on people’s faces.”
