Newtown and the Little Miami Joint Fire and Rescue District are near a deal.

Newtown Village Councilman Mark Kobasuk stated the two sides have revised the current contract, though the council didn’t vote May 25 on accepting the contract and will likely vote on the measure at the next meeting.

Revisions include adding a fourth on-duty firefighter at the Newtown fire station.

Kobasuk had noted previously that the village’s current Kobasuk c o n t r a c t requires the Fire District to have three firefighters on duty at all times, which is one less than state standards.

“I think that’s a great improvement,” he said.

During a recent public hearing on the matter, Chief Tom Driggers said if the village made a commitment to the Fire District he would find a way to give the village an extra firefighter on duty at the station, which will cost an additional $140,000 annually.

The commitment from Newtown came when the village gave its approval for the Fire District to move forward with plans to buy the former E-check site.

The former E-check building will likely be the site of the new Newtown fire station. The village has given the Little Miami Joint Fire and Rescue District permission to begin negotiating with the owners to buy the building.

In other news Here’s a look at other topics of discussion during Newtown Village Council’s meeting: • Council approved a motion to accept $40,638 from the Hamilton County Park District for an easement at Short Park. The easement will be used for the Little Miami Scenic Trail Project, phase two, which will connect the trail from the Little Miami Golf Center to Clough Pike.

• Cosby stated the council will vote at its next meeting to accept the streets of Ivy Hills, a subdivision in the village where residents have had to pay for the maintenance of their own roads for several years due to the developer not completing the project.

At its most recent meeting, the Fire Board gave Driggers the authority to negotiate for the site.

If the 5-acre site is bought by

the Fire District, Kobasuk said the Fire Board would move forward with plans to renovate and update the building before constructing its

second fire station in Fairfax or Columbia Township.

Kobasuk said the Fire Board would also be open to allowing the village to buy a portion of the site to use as it sees fit.

Mayor Curt Cosby said he read the agreement, and noted while the current contract gives Newtown the final say in where a new fire station is placed in the village the revised contract does not.

“Forty years from now, council may want the ability to approve or disapprove them moving,” he said, adding he’d like to see that added to the revised agreement.

Anderson Twp. may publish names

By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com

Anderson Township Trustee Russ Jackson has proposed publishing the names of anyone requesting public records on the township’s website.

In addition, Jackson wants to publish the time involved for employees to gather requested documents and the estimated cost of that time.

The proposal was made after the board of trustees recently adopted an updated public records policy specifically addressing electronic records, such as e-mails and text messages.

“It only seemed appropriate to me that we would post that information on our website simply because people could see what kind of costs are involved to comply with the public records act,” Jackson said.

“We have every right to gather the information, why not let the taxpayers see it?”

The Ohio Public Records Act does not require a person requesting documents to identify themself, and Township Administrator Vicky Earhart said if the identity of the requester is unknown the township will simply list the request and time used to compile

Administrative Assistant Molly Mohrfield often handles public records requests for Anderson Township. The board of trustees recently updated its policy to better address electronic records. the request.

Jurisdictions are not allowed to charge for labor, but some public records requests, Earhart said, take days or weeks to gather all the documents.

“It does cost us when there is time involved,” Jackson said.

Jackson voted yes, along with two other trustees, to approve an open records mission statement resolution in 2007.

Part of that resolution stated the township’s mission was to “at all times fully comply with and abide by both the spirit and the letter of Ohio’s Open Records Act

BEACON FOOD MART 1348 Beacon Street 231-8220 6660 Clough Pike 232-6328

and Open Meetings Act.” The resolution also stated the township “will do nothing that abridges the public’s right to obtain information about their government or that inhibits or discourages citizens from doing so.”

Jackson’s proposal, however, would discourage citizens from seeking public record information, said Frank Deaner, executive director of the Ohio Newspaper Association.

“While his intent may be positive it actually runs counter to the spirits of the public records act,” Deaner said.

“I would also fear what could end up being a chilling effect if they post all the details he intends to post.”

The historic intent of the public records law, Deaner said, is that the documents kept by the public office belong to the citizens and the public office merely serves as a custodian of the records.

Deaner said case law has consistently stated that employee time should not be calculated in the cost of the request.

Deaner said the township could post the estimated cost of complying with a public records request without identifying the requester.

The information is expected to be posted on the Anderson Town-

Electronic records

The updated Anderson Township public records policy better addresses electronic records, which includes, but is not limited to, e-mail, text messages and instant messages, including those sent and received via a hand-held communications device, such as a Blackberry.

Anderson Township’s policy, modeled on a recommendation from the Ohio attorney general, says electronic records are to be treated the same as records in other formats, such as paper or audio tapes.

Township Administrator Vicky Earhart said the new requirements will be challenging and require staff training.

“We have to figure out what can be deleted and what can’t,” she said, adding that the township needs to figure out how to save and store messages.

“How do you code and categorize them in such a way that you can retrieve them all easily without creating a nightmare?” ship website in a spreadsheet format.

“We owe it to the taxpayers to show what kind of costs are involved with unfunded federal mandates,” Jackson said.

The Ohio Public Records Act is a state statute, not a federal law.

Food pantry gets help

By Rob Dowdy

rdowdy@communitypress.com

Inter Parish Ministry is receiving help from a local church in an attempt to feed as many less fortunate families as possible.

Indian Hill Church is planning a food drive Sunday, June 6, that will benefit Inter Parish Ministry, a group that offers community services and a food pantry for those less fortunate.

Along with the food drive, entitled, “Feed a Family,” the church is also using approximately $3,500 collected in the last six months from the Kroger Rewards Program to buy food for the pantry.

Sarah Cadle, service coordinator for Inter Parish Ministry, said the help is appreciated.

She said throughout much of the year, the food pantry is stocked by school food drives and various other organizations.

However, Cadle said during the summer months, donations drop off as the need often rises.

She said Inter Parish Ministry is seeking out new resources, which include local churches lending a

“The majority of our drives are coming from churches,” Cadle said.

Linda Seal, a boardmember with Inter Parish Ministry as well as the co-chair for outreach at Indian Hill Church, said summer at the food pantry can be a trying time.

While donations diminish with less holiday food drives and school participation, the pantry sees more families with more needs.

“Inter Parish Ministry traditionally struggles to keep food on the shelves in

the summer months,” she said.

Seal said families at or below the poverty line who don’t typically use the food pantry find themselves there on a regular basis in the summer, as free or reduced lunches aren’t available for their children when school isn’t in session.

Seal said families at Indian Hill Church are being asked to bring in about $50 in groceries, which is approximately what the food pantry gives to families requesting help.

“Ideally, we will have each of our families help feed one of their families,” she said.

Miami Valley, Brylan’s team up for senior celebration rdowdy@communitypress.com

Miami Valley Christian Academy sent its seniors out in style with a party at a local coffee house the night before their final day of classes.

The school organized “MVCA Night at Brylan’s” May 20 for seniors. The event included musical performances from students, refreshments and the school’s parent-teacher association gave each senior $5 to spend at the coffee house.

Emily Carabello, elementary art teacher at the academy, said the senior night was organized after she and her husband, Justin, went to Brylan’s for coffee and were amazed by their surroundings.

The coffee house, which recently opened on Main Street in Newtown, features a spacious backyard with space for a stage, a pond and outdoor seating.

Carabello said she spoke with Matt Huber, owner of Brylan’s, about a possible partnership that would allow the school to host

events at the coffee house.

“We had a feeling it would benefit both of us,” she said.

Huber said he was pleased to host the event for Miami Valley.

He said he wasn’t expecting to serve food during the senior party, but so many people were requesting sandwiches that he called his chef back to the establishment for the twohour event.

Huber said the school function is hopefully just the beginning of Brylan’s hosting community events.

Forest Hills School District teacher Jeffery Brickler is about to continue his own education in a subject that is his passion – Latin.

Brickler recently learned that he is the recipient of a Fulbright Award. Thanks to this award, and several others, Brickler will spend eight weeks this summer in an intensive Latin program at the American Academy in Rome.

This will mark Brickler’s second opportunity to study in Rome. As an undergraduate he spent a semester in the city as part of a study abroad program at the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome.

“It was terrific,” he said.

“It was amazing. I learned a tremendous amount. I saw things that I never thought I would see.”

One such sight was the Coliseum, which he caught the first glimpse of during his bus ride from the airport.

Brickler has taught Latin for six years, three in Forest Hills and three at his alma mater of Northwest Local. In Forest Hills he currently teaches classes at each Anderson and Turpin High Schools and Nagel Middle School.

His desire to become a Latin teacher was fueled by his own high school Latin teacher, the late John Michaels. “I liked him and Latin because of him,” said Brickler.

During Brickler’s senior year of high school, Michaels became ill and was diagnosed with lymphoma.

Though unable to teach,

PROVIDED

Forest Hills School District Latin teacher Jeffery Brickler has received a Fulbright Award to study Latin for eight weeks at the American Academy in Rome this summer.

Michaels still found the energy to tutor his star pupil.

By the time he graduated from high school, Brickler had completed six years of Latin studies including his two years in middle school.

Choosing a college major was easy; he opted to become a Latin teacher. “To me it made sense. I’ve always liked kids and loved Latin,” he said.

For Brickler, the study of Latin is much more than a language. “When you study a language you also study its culture,” he said. “In Rome and throughout Italy, it’s wonderful to see how the culture and modern language reflects so much of the past.”

An appreciation of the culture, the history and the

language, coupled with a desire to expand educational opportunities for students first interested Brickler in applying for a Fulbright Award.

Last summer he accompanied a group of Turpin students on a tour of Italy.

“The kids had a great time but they spent only one day in Rome,” he said.

To him, he said, the day in Rome was not as enriching as it could have been.

By immersing himself in a study program in Rome, Brickler felt that he would be able to provide future students with an even more enriching visit to the city.

During his studies this summer, Brickler will spend six weeks in Rome and two weeks in Campagne, near Naples.

The trio of Mercy parents spent one week working with the children, all of whom live daily with severe special needs such as Spina Bifida, Cystic Fibrosis, Down Syndrome and visual impairments.

The orphanage, nestled in the hills of Southern Bogota, was founded 20 years ago by Sister Valeriana, a Catholic nun.

One of the missions of Hogares Luz Y Vida is to see that the more capable children in the orphanage live as normal a life as possible.

To this end, she has built

two integrated schools where her children go to school with neighborhood children.

Mercy Montessori students of all ages wrote letters to the Columbian children and Lucas Mairal-Cruz, a junior high student, created a bilingual video tour of Mercy to be shared with those at Hogares Luz Y Vida.

This is the second year that several of the Mercy Montessori preschool classrooms have chosen the Home of Light and Life as their service project.

Anderson senior moves on to state competition

By Anthony Amorini aamorini@communitypress.com

A late-season decision to throw Anderson’s Erica Mudd into a new event – the long jump – yielded a new school record and an additional conference title for the Redskin senior standout in 2010.

Though Mudd’s Division I regional title in the high jump ultimately over-shadowed her exploits in the long jump, the senior’s ability to quickly conquer a new event was indicative of the versatile athlete’s competitive drive, Anderson girls’ coach Heather Clark said.

Mudd first competed in the long jump at a junior

Blue: Defeated Sycamore, 6-5; lost to Glen Este, 11-1. Final record: 6-91.

Silver: Defeated Lakota Liberty, 6-5; lost to Loveland, 2-1; lost to Little Miami (yellow), 11-3. Final record: 9-8.

JOURNAL

The McNicholas High School baseball team, which won its fourth straight district title with a 5-2 win over Tippecanoe May 22, suffered a 13-10 regional semifinal loss to a very similar opponent – Franklin – May 27.

The Rockets fell in an early hole, surrendering five runs in the top of an errorplagued first inning.

Head coach Willy Corbett said Franklin is a lot like McNick.

“They are a very good team if they get solid pitching and defense. They are aggressive at the plate and make contact,” he said. The two teams played in the regional last year, both teams lost five guys to graduation and took most of the season to get into their current form.

The key in the district title game was the nine hits by the first five batters in the lineup and by senior Ryan Haynes giving up only five hits while striking

out nine.

The Rockets end the season with a 14-15 record, but Corbett said he thinks some teams may have overlooked McNick in the postseason because of their deceiving record.

“As I tell our team, with the schedule we play you are going to suffer some defeats to bigger teams, which we did,” he said.

“But these things turn around and you get a hit to go into the hole instead of right at the other team and the bounces start to go back your way. Baseball is a funny game, and it equals out that way.”

Corbett said McNick players have developed the mindset that no matter what happens, they will improve and get better during the season.

Overall, seniors Craig Hyson, Tommy Fraiz and Tim Gormly led the team.

“Those three have really come through in the tournament,” Corbett said. “I don’t think you can have this kind of success without seniors stepping up every year,

and we’ve had that. It makes a big difference.”

Hyson led the team in hits and RBI, and Gormly led the team in batting average. Fraiz is fourth on the team in hits. Ryan Curran also had a very strong offensive year, as he was third in average and RBIs and tied for second in hits.

McNick finished the season winning seven of their last nine games.

Mudd promptly set a new school record in the long jump with a 17-foot11 leap at the junior varsity competition.

“It was all brand new to her, but she is so athletic that she took to it really quickly,” Clark said of Mudd’s immediate impact in the long jump. “She is the most coachable girl and she’s always the last to leave practice.

“She does so much that she has a lot to practice,” Clark joked.

Mudd qualified to regionals in an astounding four events following a “fantastic day” at districts, Clark said.

Districts concluded Saturday, May 22, with Mudd winning a district title in the high jump with her firstplace leap of 5-foot-4.

Mudd also advanced to regionals with a secondplace finish in the long jump (17-05.25), a second-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles (14.93) and a thirdplace finish in the 300 hurdles (44.89) at districts. The top four athletes in each event advanced from districts to regionals.

“To me, it’s such an impressive accomplishment to make regionals in four events,” Clark said. “She is definitely one of the best track athletes to ever come through Anderson.”

At the FAVC Buckeye Divison finals, Mudd won league titles in the high jump (5-02), long jump (17-0.25), the 300 hurdles (44.70) and the 100 hurdles (14.66) while scoring 10 points in each event for the Lady Redskins.

“We are going to miss her tremendously,” Clark said. “She is a great role model for the girls and she is a great motivator.

“She has it all. She’s just one of those athletes that every coach dreams of,” Clark added.

Mudd captured her regional title in the high jump Friday, May 28, at the Division I Regional Championships with a first-place leap of 5-foot-5. Mudd returns to state in the high jump after taking eighth place in the event during the 2009 state championships.

Mudd took fifth place in each of her other events at

regionals while falling one place short of a state qualification in each event.

State qualifiers travel to Ohio State University’s Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium in Columbus for the state championships Friday and Saturday, June 4-5.

Additional regional qualifiers for the Redskins included senior Kevin Hamilton, sophomore Nick Vogele, junior Anne Ayers and senior Kendall Loseff.

At districts, the Redskin athletes qualified to regionals with Hamilton finishing fourth in the boys 400 at 40.28, Vogele taking fourth place in the boys 3,200 at 9:38.89, Ayers taking third place in the girls’ discus at 104-10 and Loseff finishing fourth

in the girls’ pole vault at 9-06.

Hanson (4:26.08) finished less than a second shy of state, as Mason senior Matt Kahl (4:25.34) placed fourth. Ochs (38.61), who qualified for state last year, finished 16-hundreths of a second behind Springfield senior Alex Gaskins (38.45).

Senior Eric Gruenbacher (9:52.66) and junior Ryan Schneiber (52-10.00)

finished sixth in the 3,200 and shot put, respectively, while senior Michael Archbold was eighth in the 400 (51.14).

The 4x800 relay team – comprised of Hanson and juniors Andrew Bachmann, Shomo Das of Anderson Township and Robbie Flanigan – finished seventh (8:06.83).

The 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 relays did not advance past preliminaries. Comprising those teams were Archbold, Ochs, senior Brian Donahue and juniors Eric Freeman, Tim Bryson, Jake Brodbeck and William Sherman.

“We had some bad hand-offs,” Mason said.

Sherman was 11th in the prelims in the 100 (11.12) St. X finished second at districts to Mason. The Bombers totaled 92 points, while Mason had 147. Withrow (67), Moeller (47) and Walnut Hills (47) rounded out the top five.

“We started off shaky and then did as we expected,” Mason said.

St. X also finished second at the Greater Catholic League South division championship to La Salle.

The Bombers amassed 77.5 points, while La Salle had 106. Elder (48) and Moeller (24.5) were third and fourth, respectively.

“We might be the only league in the state with four teams, which doesn’t make for a well-balanced meet,” Mason said. “It’s easier for people who aren’t as good to score points.”

St. X finished 12th at regionals.

The Bombers return several seniors-to-be next year, which bodes well for next season.

“Going to state is a combination of four years of hard work and dedication,” Mason said. “It’s the ultimate dream. It’s rare.”

Anderson trustee board: Thank you, BZA volunteers

The Anderson Township Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) announced it will render its muchanticipated decision on the Martin Marietta Materials conditional use zoning application on Wednesday, June 2.

This case has involved an unprecedented amount of time, testimony and information.

While it would be inappropriate for the Board of Township Trustees to participate in or take a position on this, or any other variance request, the board recognizes that the ultimate decision will be closely scrutinized.

An important fact, perhaps overlooked, is the detailed process and exemplary management of this request by the BZA. BZA members are citizen volunteers who give their time and talents to serve our community.

This case has involved 28 meetings, totaling more than 100 hours, plus the time required to study materials and reviewing meeting transcripts.

While some observers and participants will likely leave this case upset with the decision, it is our belief that the method and care that these five members displayed over the past two years should be acknowledged and well appreciat-

Author: Forest Hills school district still doesn’t get it Another school board meeting and, of course, more taxpayer dollars spent. They just don’t get it.

I have continually advised the FHSD that they can’t keep spending more than their revenue stream. But what do they do?

You guessed it; they proudly announce that they have signed a one-year contract with the teacher’s union that calls for a 2 percent increase in base pay. Outrageous!

Why would the teachers get a raise in this environment when there is 11 percent or more unemployment and the taxpayers have no taste for more tax money to be confiscated from them?

I have reviewed the five-year forecast and I see total revenues ranging from $74,614,000 in fiscal year 2010 to $71,377,000 in fiscal 2014.

I also see forecasted expenses ranging from $74,843,000 in fiscal 2010 to $85,989,000 in fiscal 2014 – that means in fiscal 2014 the board is forecasting a shortfall in cash needed of more than $14 million.

Hold on to your wallets property owners, because this board has no desire to cut expenses, and I think that this board will continue to throw the smoke screens up and claim they need more money and then attempt to “scare” us stupid, ignorant taxpayers into voting for another tax levy.

What would you do as an individual if your pay is cut and you can’t pay your expenses?

I’ll bet you would cut your expenses so that you don’t spend

Terry Michael Merrill Community Press guest columnist

Hold on to your wallets property owners, because this board has no desire to cut expenses, and I think that this board will continue to throw the smoke screens up and claim they need more money and then attempt to “scare” us stupid, ignorant taxpayers into voting for another tax levy.

more money than you bring in. But that’s not what our FHSD did and is continuing to do.

No, the FHSD forecasts their revenue over the next five years, then forecasts more spending than the revenue that they expect to receive.

Then on top of forecasting more spending than money to be received they decide we should close and remodel schools, all without showing that there is a need to close and remodel schools (I think in most parts of the township, this is called the old “smoke and mirror” trick) and how this closing/remodeling will give the taxpayers a return on their investment, or how students will be more knowledgeable or learned.

What is wrong with this board? Don’t they understand that you can’t spend more money than you actually have and expect to receive?

You can’t give teachers pay raises in the middle of a cash flow crisis.

You can’t build/remodel buildings unless you prove that there is urgent need and you have the

cash flow to fund it.

Don’t they understand that taxpayers don’t have the money to fund additional tax levies?

The FHSD can assume that they are fooling the public with their pronouncements of “we cut this and we saved on that,” but the bottom line is that they keep handing out raises and forecast spending well beyond the revenue stream that they have forecast.

This is a sure sign that unless the FHSD changes their reckless spending our district is headed for big financial problems.

Don’t be fooled in the spring, when the board announces how much money they need for the good of the children, and how much money they have cut from a forecasted budget, and how we must pass a new tax levy.

Township property owners, who foot most of the FHSD budget, do yourself a big favor: Contact your school board members and tell them to cut spending now.

Tell them you won’t support any tax levies for the foreseeable future.

Get ready for the summer reading program at Anderson library It’s showtime!

The spotlight is on reading this summer as the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County presents Lights, Camera, READ!.

Our 2010 Summer Reading Program premiered June 1 and runs through July 31.

Your entire family (preschoolers, kids, teens and grown-ups) can play a leading role in the reading scene at the Mt. Washington Branch Library and win prizes, too.

Have fun learning together this summer. This year’s program provides great opportunities for parents to help their kids avoid a “summer slide” in their reading skills.

Studies show that library summer reading programs can help prevent the loss of reading skills due to time away from school.

Plus, by actually participating in summer reading along with their children, parents become reading role models.

Research also shows that is one of the best ways to get kids excited about reading.

We’ve set the stage for fun with many programs based on your favorite books turned into movies. There’s enough to make anyone star-struck!

Save the dates for these programs you won’t want to miss at

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Motorcyclists and their families join with members of Clough United Methodist Church to enjoy hamburgers and hot dogs at the recent annual Motorcycle Blessing.

ROB DOWDY/STAFF

PROVIDED

Ted Gerrard, owner of Corral 32, said his business is more than just an ice cream shop. Corral 32 offers a old-fashioned family atmosphere with a variety of frozen treats, food and drinks.

Corral 32 offers more than ice cream It’s only been open for two years, but Corral 32 at 6623 Main St. in Newtown looks like a village staple straight from the 1960s.

The restaurant – which offers ice cream and other frozen treats, coffee, Empress Chili and a variety of sandwiches – features a unique atmosphere.

Owner Ted Gerrard said when he opened Corral 32 he wanted the business to serve as a place for “families serving families.”

His family helps him operate the shop, and Gerrard said many of his customers are families with small children.

Corral 32, along with its refreshments and ice cream treats, features a record player spinning oldies and a television that regularly plays cartoons.

Gerrard has even placed toys outside the shop, offering children the opportunity to play, but also allowing them to exchange one of

He said “the excitement the kids get when they’re here” is his favorite part of running the shop.

Newtown, which has the Dairy Corner and United Dairy Farmers, is already filled with places for residents to buy ice cream.

However, Gerrard said there’s room for each business to succeed.

“They all set themselves apart. They’re all pretty different,” he said.

Concert to feature widest variety of music Toe-tapping chamber music will fill the sanctuary of St. John Fisher Church, 3227 Church St., in Newtown on Sunday, June 6, as Suzanne Bona and friends perform a benefit concert Bona, a trained flutist and classical music broadcaster, has assembled a group of prominent area performers, all donating their talents and time, to raise money to combat adult illiteracy.

Joining Bona for the 3 p.m. concert are guitarist Richard Goering, flutist Margaret Fecker, violinist Nancy Illman and cellist Jennifer Higgins Wheatley.

Also performing is the Cellar SaxBand, whose members are Paula Pease playing soprano and alto sax, Ken Poleyeff on alto sax, Ken Foltz playing tenor sax and Joe Phelps on baritone sax.

This year’s concert, the third annual benefit for The Literacy Council of Clermont and Brown Counties, will feature the widest variety of music yet, from traditional classical music, to sultry Latin American dances, to upbeat jazz favorites.

An Anderson Township resident, Bona is a board member of The Literacy Council of Clermont and Brown Counties and a veteran literacy tutor.

She has recruited friends from Anderson, Wyoming, Deerfield Township and Fort Thomas to perform with her and raise funds needed to continue the vital work of The Literacy Council.

All proceeds of the event will go to the Literacy Council of Clermont & Brown Counties. There is no admission charge, but there is a suggested minimum donation of $15 per person.

According to Literacy Council Executive Director Susan Vilardo, “It’s shocking, but approximately one out of four adults in Clermont and Brown Counties cannot read and write beyond a third-grade level.

“If this were a health issue, it would be considered an ‘epidemic.’”

Vilardo continued, “Can you imagine being unable to read to your kids, fill out a job application, or comprehend the instructions and warnings on a prescription bottle?”

Board President Jason Sims added, “It takes great courage for adults to admit they can’t read and ask for help.

The Literacy Council helps people overcome their shame and improve their lives by matching them with one-on-one volunteer tutors.

Life often repress one of the poles of the tension.

There are other kinds of ambivalence besides relational ones – such as uncertainty or indecisiveness about a certain course of action, ambivalence about a job, religion, sibling, etc.

Children at first need unequivocal messages as they begin to grow. Before maturity we are not in possession of capacities for dealing with the ambiguities and ambivalences of life.

We encounter them as painful contradictions. Even at a tender age we experi-

the human condition, and familiar with mysteries.

Ambivalence is experiencing contradictory feelings or attitudes toward the same person, object, event or situation.

Conflicting feelings are often strong toward parents since they are agents of both discipline and affection.

Spouses may also notice sporadic love/hate sentiments toward the other. The polarity of such feelings can be temporarily disturbing when they occur.

Some find them so troublesome to admit that they

ence both gratification and frustrations from the same parents.

At first we attempt to manage our ambiguity and ambivalence with various strategies, many of them unhealthy. We may blunt our feelings, repress, distract ourselves, dissociate, deny, and later on develop addictions or personality traits.

Eventually we’re meant to learn healthier ways. We learn to recognize and hold the tensions between opposites such as love/hate, dark side/good side, vindictiveness/forgiveness, and

choose to acknowledge but discipline the undesirable.

We come to see we are imperfect humans living in am imperfect world, yet struggling for wholeness as a person. Life contains many rich experiences as well as paradox and challenging mysteries.

In the midst of living our questions, which are often enveloped in anxiety, ambiguity and ambivalence, poet Rainer Maria Rilke offers practical advice: “Bear with patience all that is unresolved in your heart, and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were rooms yet to enter or books written in a foreign language. Don’t dig for answers that can’t be

given you yet: you cannot live them now. For everything must be lived. Live the quesFather Lou tions now, Guntzelman perhaps t h e n , Perspectives someday, you will gradually, without noticing, live into the answer.”

Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

How grown up are we?

At old-time county fairs young men sought to demonstrate their physical strength by swinging a huge mallet and striking a mat.

It propelled a weight upward. If it hit and rang the bell, it was evidence they were macho.

What are some ways to measure how developed we are inside?

“The test of a psychologically mature person, and therefore spiritually mature, will be found in his or her capacity to handle what one might call the Triple As: anxiety, ambiguity and ambivalence,” writes Dr. James Hollis in “Creating A Life.”

Anxiety, as we well know, is the agitation and stress we feel when we anticipate impending risk, danger, catastrophe or misfortune.

The future threat may be real or imagined, internal or external, but always uncomfortable. Recall how we feel when called upon to speak to a crowd.

Ambiguity is a confusing grayness. It flows from our ego’s desire for clarity and security. Yogi Berra creates ambiguity when he advises, “If you come to a fork in the road – take it!”

We want life, God, and the world to be in a permanently knowable condition.

The younger or less mature we are the more we become frustrated by the absence of clarity. The older and more mature we become doesn’t banish the ambiguities and anxieties of life, but we are more able to tolerate them as part of life.

Our experiences and maturation render us more humble, understanding of

Traditional tabbouleh for son’s birthday dinner It will be a Lebanese dinner this Sunday for my s o n , Shane, to celebrate Rita his birthHeikenfeld day.

I have Rita’s kitchen to ask what he wants, but I’m pretty sure tabbouleh and fried kibbee will be requested. I’ll be making stuffed grape vine leaves, too, since the wild grape leaves are the perfect size right now.

I wish I had some of Joe and Mary Lou Zarig’s homemade Lebanese flatbread to serve with it – Joe and Mary Lou are great Lebanese cooks and bakers.

I’ll also make some baklava.

I love preparing my family’s Lebanese recipes and I can never get enough.

That’s why you’ll find

me at the St. Anthony of Padua’s Lebanese festival Sunday, June 6, from noon to 8 p.m. The church is on Victory Parkway.

This festival is fun, with rides, Lebanese dancing and authentic Lebanese food. I love everything they prepare! Get details at 513961-0120.

My mom’s tabbouleh

Traditionally, this is served with wild grapevine leaves to act as a scoop, or leaf lettuce, or flatbread.

This is a real “go to taste” recipe, wonderful as a main meal, stuffed into pita pockets for lunch, or as a versatile, healthy side dish.

Tabbouleh is a healthy salad using bulgur wheat (great for lowering cholesterol and contains vitamin E) and an abundance of summer vegetables.

It’s all the rage in local delis, and is expensive to buy.

1 cup bulgur wheat 4-6 tomatoes, chopped 1 bunch green onions, chopped 1 bunch parsley, chopped 1 bunch radishes, chopped (optional but good) 1-2 regular cucumbers, peeled and chopped, or 1 English cucumber, chopped 1 bell pepper, chopped 2-3 teaspoons cumin, or to taste Several sprigs mint leaves, chopped (opt.)

Several sprigs basil leaves, chopped (opt.)

Salt and pepper to taste 1 ⁄4 cup canola oil, or to taste Place wheat in bowl and rinse under cool water three times. Leave about 1⁄4 inch of water after the third rinse on top of the wheat to soften it.

Let sit for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

Squeeze to drain any remaining liquid out.

Meanwhile, mix your vegetables:

Add all vegetables in large bowl, mixing gently.

Add cumin, mint, basil and salt and pepper. Add wheat, and mix well.

Add oil, a little at a time, and mix. Taste for seasonings. Add lemon juice if desired.

Serves six to eight as a main meal, 10 as a first course.

Tips from Rita’s Kitchen

Bulgur wheat is sometimes called cracked wheat.

It looks a little bit like cous cous and is creamy to tan in color. It comes in several grinds.

I like the fine or medium grind. Some folks like to put a squeeze of lemon juice in the salad.

Jim Grassinger’s mom’s mock turtle soup

Jim and Gerri Grassinger live in Anderson; our kids went to high school with theirs.

We have many fond memories of Jim filming the kids during track races for McNicholas High.

Jim shared his Mom’s mock turtle soup and it looks delicious.

No wonder Jim said it’s a family favorite. I hope he invites me over for a bowl.

1 pound ground beef 1 pound ground veal 1 32-ounce bottle ketchup * 4 cups water 1 large onion, diced 1 rib celery, diced 1 lemon, sliced 1 teaspoon allspice 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped 2 tablespoon vinegar 1 ⁄4 cup browned flour Crumble uncooked beef and veal into water, add ketchup, water, onion and celery in large pot.

Add lemon and allspice and cook for about 45 minutes. Add vinegar and chopped eggs.

Cook about 15 minutes.

Rita on YouTube

See Rita’s 3 seconds of fame on the “Today Show.”

One of her videos was shown in a montage of videos on YouTube of “ordinary people who made a success with YouTube.” Link is http://tinyurl. com/24gtoq3.

Brown flour in a dry skillet, stirring frequently until medium brown, then add browned flour slowly.

Cook a few minutes longer. If soup is too thick add a little more water.

Remove lemon slices before serving. * Fill ketchup bottle with water, shake and add to pot also.

The Athenaeum campaigns for excellence The Athenaeum of Ohio/Mount St. Mary’s Seminary, one of the leading theological and ministerial institutions in the Midwest, has embarked on an ambitious $15.75 million capital campaign designed to provide a number of critical needs for the school to maintain and improve its excellence for the next decade.

Already, 89 percent of the goal has been pledged by leading individuals and foundations within the 19county Archdiocese of Cincinnati served by the Athenaeum and beyond.

The campaign will continue through October. “‘Investing In Our Future – Preserving Our Legacy,’

A customer at one of last year’s Jamaica Mission Team dog washes at Clough United Methodist Church receives loving attention from Betty Bothwell, Noah Temke, Jorge Bonar, and Danielle Bonar. This year’s dog wash will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 5, in the church parking lot at 2010 Wolfangel Road in Anderson Township.

Clough UMC hosts dog wash Members of the Clough United Methodist Church Jamaica Mission Team will be washing dogs of all sizes and breeds from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 5, in the church parking lot at 2010 Wolfangel Road in Anderson Township. All dogs will receive free treats and a bandana.

Donations will be accepted.

The mission team held two dog washes last year.

This year’s dog wash is the team’s last fundraiser before leaving for their trip to Whitehouse, Jamaica, June 19-26. Members of the

team have been raising funds for this trip for two years.

The team will spend a week at My Father’s House, a home for abandoned and orphaned Jamaican children run by Jim and Penie Koch, former residents of Anderson Township. They will work with the children at My Father’s House, prepare a Vacation Bible School for the children in the Whitehouse community, and distribute compasses to the local fishermen.

The church has been sending a mission team to My Father’s House every

the capital campaign to anchor the future of the Athenaeum of Ohio/Mount St. Mary’s Seminary, shows the commitment of Catholics from throughout our archdiocese and beyond to providing the Church with leadership that is solidly grounded in the teachings of Christ,” said Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr.

To maintain its niche in the national theater of theological education an array of vital needs are identified in the campaign. Among them are annual fund increases, bricks and mortar projects, advanced educational components and critical endowment needs to provide long-

term financial support for the school. The institution’s 2009-10 operating budget is almost $4 million.

The school, a landmark institution located in Mount Washington, was founded in 1829 and throughout its legacy has remained on the cutting edge of theological study and research. It houses the third oldest Catholic Seminary in the United States and, as a graduate school of theology, provides religious education opportunities to the broad community.

Relay for Life a success

The Relay for Life recently held in Anderson Township was once again a big success. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honorary survivor, Anderson Township resident Dustin Kennedy, 13, gave a tear-jerking speech. In his speech Kennedy declared he relays so no child will ever have to go through what he has gone through. For more information about future events, visit the American Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website. Kennedy, above, enjoys the food.

Twin Towers resident celebrates 100th birthday with party There will be an open house 100th birthday celebration for Margaret (nee Waits) Beets, hosted by her daughters, Barbara Smith of Hendersonville, N.C., and Joan Weikel of Punta Gorda, Fla. The event will take place at Twin Towers Senior Living Community, 5343 Hamilton Ave., College Hill. It will be held from 1

p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 12, in the main reception area of Twin Towers.

No gifts, please. Cards and pictures are welcome.

Beets was born June 14, 1910, and married Winfred Beets in 1931.

She was widowed in 1987, and lived in various parts of Hamilton

County most of her life.

She has been active in many community and church activities such as Girl Scout and Brownie leader, PTA President, Garden Club, and started the Children’s Vacation Bible School at the Newtown Methodist Church where she also taught classes, played the piano and planned entertainment.

She also holds the title of “Oldest Living Member” of the Anderson Hills United Methodist Church.

She still enjoys good food, activities and outings which keep her busy at Twin Towers.

Naturally she has many friends and acquaintances that the family, made up of two daughters, three

grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and seven great-greatgrandchildren, would like to have come, if possible, to join them in celebrating the 100th birthday of a wife, mother and friend.

RSVPs would be appreciated.

Call Neal or Jeannie Rumpke at 474-1010.
