A married couple was arrested on burglary charges after surveillance video outside an Indian Hill house the pair was allegedly trying to break into led police to them. Amy Schadhauser, 40, and William Schadhauser, 44, of Union Township, Clermont County, each face two counts of burglary. They were taken into custody after Cincinnati police pulled over their 2000 Dodge Neon in front of the Hamilton County Justice Center about 7 p.m. July 20. Officers were on the lookout for the vehicle after Ralph Unger, a Cincinnati police video analyst, found an image of the license plate and picked up its number on videotape shot by a security surveillance camera outside an Indian Hill house. Indian Hill Detective Steve Makin said the home’s alarm tripped and scared them off. According to court documents, the couple broke into a home in the 8300 block of Beacon Hill Lane July 20 and a residence in the 7700 block of Surrey Hill Lane on July 15. When the couple appeared in Hamilton County Municipal Court July 22, Judge Fanon Rucker set Amy Schadhauser’s bond at $10,000 and William Schadhauser’s bond at $20,000. The two apparently turned on each other when police confronted them about the crimes. Bruce Attenborough, a lawyer representing William Schad-

Amy Schadhauser admitted to police that the two were involved in the burglaries, court documents state. Her lawyer, Geoffrey Pittman, said she waited outside the homes while her husband burglarized them. During the July 20 burglary, the duo tripped an alarm and fled without taking anything, Makin said. But they left behind their images on the security video surveillance camera, which also picked up a photo of the Neon. On July 15 the couple stole several items, including three guns, cameras, a two-carat diamond ring, a 42-inch flat screen television and a framed photo and autographed $20 bill of countrywestern singer George Jones valued at thousands of dollars, Makin said. It was not clear if the stolen items have been recovered. Police in Pierce Township, Clermont County, began checking with Indian Hill Rangers to see if the break-ins were similar to a recent incident there.

Kirk Perry has taken what could have been major personal setbacks and turned them into strengths. The Indian Hill resident was recently named to the March of Dimes Foundation national board of trustees after working with the foundation for seven years. Perry said he began working with the March of Dimes, which dedicates itself to improving the health of babies, partly because three of his four children were born prematurely. Perry began with the local chapter of the March of Dimes, helping organize several events that raised thousands of dollars for the foundation. Moving to the national side of the group, though he’ll remain part of the local chapter, he’ll be responsible for setting a nationwide strategy that he’ll then have to implement on a local level. “I have to eat what I cook,” he

Indian Hill resident Kirk Perry, a vice president at Procter & Gamble, was recently named to the March of Dimes Foundation national board of trustees. Along with his new responsibilities, Perry is also a member of the University of Cincinnati Foundation Board (since 2006), a board member of the CityLink Foundation (since 2010) and he coaches his four children in soccer, basketball, baseball, softball and football. Now that he’s on the March of Dimes national board of trustees, Perry says he wants to guide the foundation toward making potential parents aware that carrying a baby full term means 39 weeks, and not 36 weeks, which he says most people believe to be true. He said a “shockingly high” number of people believe 36 weeks, which is four weeks per month for nine months, is a full term of pregnancy, which leaves three weeks of development the child may not receive.

Wahoos dive team reclaims league title After a three-year drought, the Indian Hill Wahoos dive team returned to their long-standing position of dominance in the Seven Hills Summer Swim Club League by capturing the league title at the Diving Championships July 12 at the Indian Hill Club. While there may have been a slight home-team advantage in the Indian Hill Wahoos hosting the meet, there was without question plenty of close competition, with the race for final points coming right down to the wire with the last event of the meet, the 8and-under girls’ group.

Last week’s question

Should Congress extend unemployment benefits? Why or why not? For how long? “We have been paying people not to work for much longer than unemployment was ever intended to cover. How about paying them the same amount but requiring that they do something productive for the public good? “Examples might include physical labor in parks, fixing potholes, cutting weeds, picking up litter, painting out graffiti, if they are able. For those who can’t do physical labor, how about routine basic administrative work for cities and states, things like reviewing backlogged parking and traffic tickets, hunting for deadbeat child support parents, mechanizing police files?” F.S.D. “Unemployment benefits should not be extended because, like any government benefit, it will produce what it ‘buys’ – unemployment. In other words, if you pay people not the work, then that is what they will do. Bear in mind, I favor INITIAL unemployment benefits for a short period of time. I opposed the EXTENSION of such benefits for long periods of time. “In any event, if the extension is approved, it MUST be paid for. We can’t keep running up our national ‘credit card.’ If the Dems must have this, they need to take it from the stimulus funds. T.H. “Unemployment benefits are currently, I think, 26 weeks. I believe that in some states, there are provisions to extend this by an additional 13 weeks. “There is little doubt that we are in a frightening period of time when jobs, especially good jobs, are scarce, and unemployment is over 10 percent. “Many of those people who are out of work have lost their employment through no fault of their own, even though there certainly are some who are just too lazy to work, or who have lost their jobs because of their behavior. I believe that the majority of the unemployed would be grateful to find work that would help them pay their living expenses; and I believe that these employment opportunities are too scarce. “As much as I dislike the idea of ‘welfare,’ I think we have little choice but to make a reasonable extension to benefits, even though our government expenditures are already strained. Not an easy question.” Bill B. “Extend the benefits only for as long as it takes to put together a jobs program – something similar to the WPA – and move with all haste on his. Extended unemployment takes a psychological toll as well as an economic one. So many skilled, talented people have nothing to do – we need to find a way to put their skills and talents to work so they can once again be contributors to the community. And they need to work to keep their skills up-do-date so they will be employable.” J.S.B. “Facetiously: Why don’t we just turn everything over to the government and let them distribute back to us what they want. This way we would have full government employment and no unemployment. “I think, we in the individual work force, would love to be employed by the government

I wonder what percent of all unemployed government employees compares to the actual market place unemployment – I bet not close to the 10 percent or actual 16-17 percent. D.J. “It is unfortunate that many people are unemployed and have been for more than one year. Just the same, does our government have the money to extend unemployment benefits? If so, for how long? And will there be enough money for those whose benefits have not yet expired? “Neither the U.S. nor the taxpayers have a money tree. This situation demonstrates vividly how President Obama’s stimulus and recovery acts, plus the auto industry and banking bail-outs, have failed to address America’s No. 1 economic problem, all the while he focuses on health care, cap and trade, Wall Street, etc. “When will he get around to the foreclosure and unemployment crises, in his second term? We can’t extend unemployment benefits forever.” R.V. “Of course unemployment benefits should be extended, forever! Most of those currently unemployed are not loafers. They were employed a couple of years ago and have got caught in a financial crisis that we all contributed to by borrowing too much either personally or through the government. It is largely a 'crap shoot' that decided who got laid off, and those of us lucky enough to still have a job should be willing to support the unlucky losers. “Besides, all that unemployment money will get spent on essentials, creating demand and speeding recovery. It is one of the best ways to help everyone.” D.R. “We need to support our friends, neighbors and family members that are unemployed due to the economic woes of the United States over the past couple of years. ‘We’ also includes Congress that needs to provide ‘unemployment compensation’ to people who have worked all their lives, paid taxes and now cannot find a job. “On an individual basis, invite an unemployed person to dinner, take them some groceries, pass on job news when you have and make a call today to someone who needs their spirits raised who look for a job every day.” E.E.C. “Unemployment benefits should definitely be extended. In economic terms it is a great bang for the buck. That money will be spent by the individuals almost immediately, which will help the local economies. Grocers, small businesses, banks, landlords, etc. all will see monies flowing. The amount is infinitesimal compared to overall spending in this recession by the government. “Also, it is the right thing to do for our citizens, but of course Boehner and buddies only want to make sure that the president fails, no matter who has to pay the consequences.” J.Z.

Fourteen straight months of double-digit unemployment This past month marked the 14th consecutive month of double-digit unemployment rates in Ohio. With 640,700 Ohioans out of work, many are struggling to put food on the table and pay their bills. To create jobs for our community and make our state more competitive, the legislature needs to pursue measures that will create conditions for business expansion and economic growth. Since the beginning of this General Assembly, Ohio has suffered significant job loss, business closures and mass layoffs. A mass layoff occurs when a company eliminates at least 50 jobs during a five-week period. In May, almost 4,000 Ohio workers lost their jobs during mass layoffs, when companies reduced or closed their operations in Ohio and moved to other states – and countries – with friendlier regulatory environments and more economic activity. Compared to the rest of the country, unemployment continues to be a major crisis in Ohio. As Ohio’s unemployment rate hovers around 11 percent, the national unemployment rate averages 9.7 percent. Developing cities around the country, such as Austin, Texas, and Denver, have seen large pop-

As evidenced by the hemorrhaging of jobs, businesses and families from our borders, Ohio currently is not conducive to job growth despite our eager, capable workforce. Keeping jobs and businesses in our state will help us move out of the recession and compete in the 21st century economy. By stimulating economic activity, reducing the high tax burden will take us a step closer to a rebounded economy. With lower taxes, people are inclined to spend more and reinvest in their communities, giving local businesses the capital to hire more workers. If we hope to see a more prosperous tomorrow, we must continue to look for more ways to create long-term jobs for our communities. There are many people here in

Keep your children safe during ‘trauma season’ At the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) we are always encouraging children to play more. Playing improves a child’s fitness, strengthens their heart and lowers their risk for diabetes. Playing also promotes healthy growth and development throughout a child’s life. While summertime offers more time for play it also offers more time for children to injure themselves. In fact, summer is often referred to as “trauma season” by health care professionals working in emergency departments. Across the country, children 14 years old and younger will be rushed to emergency rooms for treatment of injuries nearly 3 million times from May through August. Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability for children and youth. Injury rates are highest during the summer months for children and teenagers because it is the time when they are exposed to more injury risks. The majority of unintentional injury deaths from May through August involve drowning, biking, falls, motor vehicle occupant activities and pedestrian incidents. Many people would expect to see an increase in these types of injuries, but the statistics of the most tragic consequences of injury death, are shocking: • Thirty-five Ohio children between the ages of 1 and 19 drown each year; 77 percent of these tragic deaths occur between the months of May and August. • Each year, about 200 Ohio

On average, 80 Ohioans in this age range lose their lives each year as occupants in motor and recreational vehicles. • Falls are the overall leading cause of injury-related emergency room visits and hospital admissions among Ohio youth younger than 14-years-old. Although falls are among the most common causes of child injury, fortunately few falls among children result in death. We all want to help our children live to their full potential. As parents we must do whatever we can to keep them safe and secure and play a key role in protecting our children from injury. I encourage you to get involved with your child and know where they are going and what they are doing before they go out to play. It’s also important to actively

Across the country, children 14 years old and younger will be rushed to emergency rooms for treatment of injuries nearly 3 million times from May through August. supervise your child when engaging in summertime activities and make sure your child wears the proper safety equipment, such as lifejacket or bike helmet, during times of play. Another way to protect your child from injury is to make sure the places he/she plays are safe; for example, playgrounds should have age-appropriate equipment and safe surface material (12 inches of mulch, sand, rubber, etc.) around equipment, pools should be fenced on four sides, play areas should be located well away from busy streets and a responsible adult should be onhand at all times. As parents we want to get out and play with our children. In fact, playing a game of catch or riding a bike can sometimes be more fun for adults than it is for kids. However, while playing with your children it’s important for parents to role model proper safety behavior. Research shows children are more likely to follow safety rules when they see their parents doing so.

selfish purposes, play at being romantic or pretend we love another – but cut and run when things get too serious. That way, we’re never hurt, our ego is soothed, and the pain happens to someone else. It’s sort of a revenge for what happened to us. 3. Pragmatism: We settle for platonic or practical relationships, avoid intense expressions of romance, and relate as a good friend rather than lover. At times of hurt, disillusionment or cynicism, we see no wisdom in the centuries-old adage: “Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.” Heartaches, though never sought, are part of human existence. When they happen to us they seem devoid of any good aspect, they’re only catastrophic. It takes time to grasp the bigger picture of our lives. We can’t see how the

Numbed by our grief, we often resort to one of the following defenses. 1. Pessimism: we conclude we’re unlovable, people are untrustworthy, or we decide love is an illusion and try to protect ourselves from loving again. 2. Pseudoromanticism: we engage in sex for merely

Only later do we dare admit that they often can have some benefit for us: they open unrevealed places in our hearts, create compassion for others, and give birth to a greater wisdom about ourselves, life and the real meaning of love. Ernest Hemingway stated a great truth when he wrote, “Life breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong in the broken places.” Those are just some of the reasons why it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Yet there is even a greater reason. Though we may lose the one we love, we have still accomplished what many yearn for but do not savor. For anytime we genuinely love, we are a magnificent success both spiritually and psychologically.

FAMILY PET CENTER

Playhouse holds children’s auditions Aug. 7 The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park will hold auditions on Saturday, Aug. 7, for boys interested in performing two roles in the 2010-2011 production of “Over the Tavern.” A coming-of-age comedy by Tom Dudzick, “Over the Tavern” revolves around wise-cracking Rudy, one of four Pazinski kids growing up above a tavern in 1959. As Rudy prepares for his confirmation, he decides to go knuckle to ruler with his formidable teacher, Sister Clarissa, questioning everything and spending more time on his Ed Sullivan impersonation than his studies. A sell-out hit around the country and at the Playhouse in 1999, “Over the Tavern” returns to the Marx Theatre Jan. 22 through

Boys should submit a resume of any experience to the Playhouse, along with a photograph (a good quality school or family photo is acceptable). Boys auditioning for the part of Rudy will be asked to perform a couple of scenes from the play; boys auditioning to portray Georgie will perform a monologue. Rehearsals for the St. Louis production begin Nov. 5; rehearsals for the Cincinnati production begin Jan. 14. Interested boys must be available for all performances of the show, which are scheduled Tuesdays through Sundays and include several weekday student and public mati-

Feb. 19 (opening night: Jan. 27). It will be presented as a co-production with the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, where it will run Dec. 1 through Dec. 26. Two area boys will be cast to fill the roles of Rudy, who is 12 years old; and his brother Georgie, a 13-yearold boy with mental disabilities, described as sweet but with the mind of a 3- to 4year-old. The boys playing the parts may be slightly older, but have to be able to convey the ages of the characters. The actor portraying Rudy must be personable and possess good comedic timing, while having no discernible dialect. Because of the 1959 setting of the show, the boys must also have the appearance of children of that time period. The part of Rudy – and

As Rilke attests, “For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate test, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is preparatory.” The challenge to every human is to love.

It’s said a most precious situation in life occurs when we are able to achieve three important things: to love someone; to have this someone love me; and to have both these things happen at the same time. We smile and knowingly admit, “Yes, but it doesn’t always happen this way.” In his book, “To Love and Be Loved,” Sam Keen relates a crucial time in his life. He was a young man in college and in love with a girl who said she loved him. They often discussed, and really believed, that their relationship was destined for a lifelong journey of bliss. Then, he writes, “In April, the cruelest of months, she came for the spring dance, and after the last waltz, sudden as death, she told me she didn’t love me anymore… “When she left, I collapsed into grief and incomprehension. I never heard

‘Chow’ down on local cathedral chef’s recipes There are a lot of cookbooks brought to my attention to review. Joanne “Giovanna” Delli Carpini Trimpe’s “Holy Chow” really stands out in the stack. Giovanna is the chef at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral in downtown Cincinnati and is the author of this book, thus the name. The book itself is vibrant with color and reflects Giovanna’s unorthodox approach to cooking. “The hardest thing about the book was having to measure everything,” she told me. She has been cooking since she was 14 and never measured, just cooked “to taste” like many of us. Career-wise, she worked for family, doing accounting. “I did not like that,” she told me. Her interest in food led to catering and volunteering for school dinners and church events. Giovanna has a rich cooking background, having lived in Italy, Venezuela and in the U.S. Her passion for good food made with love has become legendary here in our area, and that led her to

the job she currently occupies at St. Peter’s. So how did she get the job? H e r Rita husband, Heikenfeld M i k e , Rita’s kitchen w o r k i n g on his master’s in lay ministry, invited Deacon David Klingshirn to dinner. He told her their chef was leaving and that she should apply. The book itself is an interesting read, with stories and Bible quotes (from her husband) that go along with each recipe. It is available online at http://holychowcookbook.com or by calling 513-295-2510.

Giovanna Trimpe’s Chicken Marsala Prepare chicken:

Use 4 chicken breasts pounded thin, to about 1 inch. Sprinkle 1⁄2 teaspoon each kosher salt and 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper on chicken. Put 1 cup all-purpose

sionally and just before removing pour 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice over. Take chicken out and add 1⁄4 cup water and whisk again on high for 15 seconds to deglaze the sauce and make it smoother. Pour over chicken when served – use a rubber spatula to get all the sauce out. Good with rice, potatoes, fettuccine Alfredo.

Tom Heitkamp, a Mount Lookout reader, made the recipe that he sent me from a website. They turned out well, though he doesn’t know if they’re authentic. The glaze was a disappointment, however, so we’re working on that part. I checked with Rose Levy Beranbaum, the queen of baking, and she has never heard of these rolls. Does anybody know of a bakery here that still sells them?

One could say Indian Hill Elementary School fifthgrader Emma Beck has racing in her blood. Her father, Phil, is an avid soap box derby enthusiast, and her brother, Nathan, has participated in derby competitions. Beck, 10, recently took second place in the Cincinnati Soap Box Derby. Her secret – “get down low” when racing, she said. Beck, who lives in Symmes Township, was recently recognized by the Indian Hill Exempted Village School District Board of Education for her accomplishment. “Indian Hill Elementary School” adorns the side of her car. Phil said she was inspired by the Beach Boys’ song “Be True to Your School.” “School and community was a theme for the car,” said Phil. Getting the car ready, though, wasn’t without its challenges. The car had previously been used by her brother, who placed fifth place in the 2008 Cincinnati Soap Box Derby. While making a practice run at a recent rally, the brake gave out on the car while Beck was going downhill. She and her father were able to repair the car’s axle and wheel prior to the Cincinnati race. She said hearing the crowd cheer her on was an inspiration. “I really want to continue (this),” she said.
