Montgomery, FOP agree on contract Police officers will receive pay 1% raise in 2014, 2% in 2015 By Jason Hoffman jhoffman@communitypress.com
MONTGOMERY — The Montgomery Police Department officers represented by the Fraternal Order of Police have a new contract in place for the next three years. Montgomery City Council approved the contract Wednesday, completing the negotiating process with the union. “We have a very good working relationship with city,” said Bob Otte, Montgomery Police officer and one of three union representatives in the department. “It’s one of respect, and we don’t play games with each other.” Otte has been with the Montgomery Police Department for more than 12 years and this was his third round of contract negotiations. “They all go pretty much the same,” he said. “We understand that every city is still having financial difficulties or budget issues.”

The 19 officers represented by the union won’t receive a pay increase this year, but will receive a 1-percent increase Jan. 1, 2014, and 2-percent increase July 1, 2015. The only two members of the police department not represented are Montgomery Police Chief Don Simpson and Lt. Jerry Beitman. All 12 members of the union board voted to approve the contract. City Council voted 6-0, with Councilman Barry Joffe absent from the meeting. “It was fine work by our team,” City Manager Wayne Davis said. “This has to be done periodically and it worked out well this time.” Want to know more about the stories that matter in Montgomery?

Army unit changes commanders in Blue Ash
Columbus-based reservists host ceremony at Veterans Memorial By Jason Hoffman jhoffman@communitypress.com
BLUE ASH — It wasn’t Veterans Day or the Fourth of July, but the 10th Battalion of the Army Reserve Careers Division filled the Blue Ash Veterans Memorial Sept. 5. The unit was in town to conduct its change-of-command ceremony – the first at the Blue Ash landmark – and although the drive was more than one hour, the soldiers said it was well worth it. “It’s really a beautiful location,” said Sgt. 1st Class Bill Csaszar, who planned the event for the battalion. “I have never met a community so willing to roll out the red carpet for us.” Lt. Col. Amy Massaglia is retiring after more than 30 years in the Army and relinquished command of the unit to Lt. Col. Christopher Henderson. Henderson, a veteran of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom, said Blue Ash was the perfect location. “You can definitely tell this

community supports the military and that always makes it nice to give back.” Blue Ash councilmen Rick Bryan and Robert Buckman attended the ceremony. “It’s an incredible honor for the city to be able to host this change of command,” said Bryan, a retired Army lieutenant colonel. “These are the men and women that make sure the military stays strong in reserve.” Blue Ash Police planned portions of the event and also helped with security during the ceremony. Lt. Steve Schueler of the BAPD said his department was

prepared for anything that might happen. “Unfortunately, today we have to think about terrorism and that takes a lot of manpower and planning,” Schueler said. “We planned for politicians to be in attendance and with something like this, you have to plan for things like protests, which fortunately didn’t happen.” Want to know more about the stories that matter in Blue Ash?

Symmes considers joint grant for sidewalks By Leah Fightmaster lfightmaster@communitypress.com
Symmes Township is considering applying for a grant with Loveland and Hamilton County. The joint application to the Ohio Public Works Commission would be for various projects on Union Cemetery Road. Hamilton County would work on depth repairs, including the drainage, reditching and adding a twofoot safety berm. Loveland’s portion of the work would include making improvements to the water lines under the road,
and then repaving when the repairs by the county are finished, Administrator Brian Elliff said. The townBryant ship’s work is concerned less with the street than what is along the side of it. The grant would fund, with a township match, building sidewalks to connect neighborhoods with other streets and parks. The sidewalks would be in-
stalled on the north side of Union Cemetery Road, connecting the short stretch on the west side of Lebanon Road and the section in front of Hawthorn Woods Court. After that section, there would be a crosswalk to the south side of Union Cemetery, and the sidewalk would then continue west to the Royal property, Board of Trustees President Ken Bryant said. If the application is granted, the township would be responsible for 10 percent of the sidewalk’s construction, which is about $4,300. It would also have

to pay the cost of engineering, about $9,000. The trustees discussed the possibility of extending those sidewalks down to Thistlehill Drive, because it would connect those homes and the streets east of it to the Meade property, Home of the Brave Park and Symmes Township Park on Lebanon Road. However, Bryant said that the short timing for the grant and the lack of right-ofway for the township to build them on makes it less likely right now. He added that sidewalks for

that section of Union Cemetery isn’t off the table for the future. The trustees didn’t officially approve applying for the grant with the county and Loveland, but Bryant said it’s likely to be approved at the next trustees’ meeting on Oct. 1. “We have to go through the formalities, but I can’t see why anyone would oppose it,” he said.

Family delivers culture, flavor with olive oil
Mt. Kofinas uses traditional process to create Mediterranean flavor By Jason Hoffman jhoffman@communitypress.com
MONTGOMERY — A family owned business in Montgomery is about more than delivering a premium product to its consumers. Mt. Kofinas Olive Oil is also preserving the family heritage and hoping to bring culture to Greater Cincinnati. “My great grandfather planted the olive trees in Crete 80 years ago,” said Nick Semertzides, sales and operations manager at Mt. Kofinas. Semertzides and his wife Elini Androulaki run the store just off Montgomery Road where they
take pressed olive oil from a village cooperative in Crete, Greece, and infuse it herbs and other flavors through a multiple-month process. The family business opened in 2010 and has grown into a retail operation reaching 11 farmers markets and several specialty grocers around Cincinnati. The decision to open up for retail and expand their business was motivated by the poor economy in Greece. “Before, it was more of a hobby,” Semertzides said. “The problem was the way the economy was in Greece, the sale price (of olive oil) went way down and there wasn’t enough money to water the trees.” Business has been very good for the small shop – Semertzides says the store sold all the olive oil made last year and has grown 45 percent over the last year. The reason for the success, Semertzides said, is
simple. Mt. Kofinas offers pure olive oil infused with real herbs and flavors you can’t find on the shelf in a large grocer. When buying at Mt. Kofinas, each bottle is filled to order depending on customers’ preference and sealed at the time of purchase. “People come here and we bottle the olive oil in front of them,” Androulaki said. “It’s important because they have to know that we don’t buy oil from large manufacturers.” Over time, the family hopes to bring the culture of olive growing, pressing and the health benefits associated with using premium olive oil to cook with, Androulaki said. “There is a whole culture behind it,” Androulaki said. “We want to share that culture, not just bring olive oil here.” The success of the shop means the family’s olive tradition is not only secure, but thriving. If things go according to
plan, Mt. Kofinas will serve more of Greater Cincinnati in the near future. Androulaki said plans are in place for a second location to open soon.
Fustis are used to hold olive oil while it is infused with herbs for four to six weeks at Mt. Kofinas Traditional Cretan Cold Pressed and Infused Olive Oil in Montgomery.

Spanish teacher embraces technology By Forrest Sellers
fsellers@communitypress.com
Don’t be surprised to see a lot of computers in Spanish teacher Kimberly Engel’s class. Indian Hill High School implemented the “Bring Your Own” technology initiative last school year. As part of this, the students were encouraged to bring their own laptops or other electronic devices to school. This summer Engel took several technology-related workshops. “I’ve never been to a workshop where I haven’t come away with a head full of ideas to implement in class,” she said. Engel recently attended a
workshop on DyKnow, an interactive learning software for teachers. She said this software provides her with quick and easy access to a student’s computer screen. “If I see errors (on an assignment) I can correct them right away,” she said. “I can also do a screen grab to show an example of a great piece of work.” Engel said she would begin using DyKnow is the classroom this school year. Engel said one of the most important aspects of using technology in the classroom is preparing the students for their college and university experience.
Indian Hill High School Spanish teacher Kimberly Engel is taking several technology-related workshops this summer. Engel plans to integrate what she learns at the workshops into her own classroom. FORREST SELLERS/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

KENWOOD — Most wide re-

Not Moeller High School’s Gus Ragland. After his innings on the mound ended as a pitcher for Moeller’s Division I championship baseball squad, Ragland was off to football camps to play without receiving gloves. Though he had outstanding

Because Moeller had Spencer Iacovone back, coach John Rodenberg moved the 6-foot-3, 200-pound Ragland to wideout for his junior year. “It was a lot different,” Ragland said. “There’s a lot more
responsibility at quarterback. Playing receiver was enjoyable. It helped me understand my receivers a little bit more.” For the Crusaders coaching staff, moving Ragland back simplified their 2013 offense. Like a chess board, Moeller moved their pieces. The blue and gold reloaded with No. 14 at quarterback, speedsters Chase Pankey and Isaiah Gentry at receiver and a 6-foot-5 Jake Hausmann, who looks like your prototypical Moeller rugged tight end. “We thought going into this year that Gus was very similar to Spencer (Iacovone) so we

Aves golf steers hopes toward GMC title By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com
SYCAMORE TWP. — The man who drives the Sycamore High School girls golf team from venue to venue will have them parked and ready to putt and pitch at Weatherwax Sept. 17. Veteran coach Keith Brackenridge is the driver in charge of the Lady Ave drivers, irons, wedges and putters. He is the man with the plan and the van. Once the chauffeur/coach gets his girls to the first tee of the Greater Miami Conference tournament at Weatherwax, he’ll be trying to steer them to a win over arch-rival Mason. The Lady Comets have already outclubbed Sycamore once. “Mason is certainly the top competition in the league,” Brackenridge said. “We lost to them by nine during the season. We were with them almost all nine, but we had one bad hole. We’ll have to play really well to beat them in the league meet.” Leading the way for Sycamore is sophomore Kellen Alsip. “She’s been doing good,” Brackenridge said. “You’re usually one of the top players in the city if you shoot under 40 and she’s right there. She was good last year, but she’s gotten

noticeably better in the year since.” At presstime, Alsip’s aver-
age was 39.88, putting her fourth in the GMC behind two Mason golfers and Courtney
Piatt of Fairfield. “She’s very good with the longer irons,” Brackenridge said of his top Sycamore swinger. “She’s also improved her putting and her chipping to the greens. She’s taken about two and a half shots after her average from last year.” Brackenridge has three Lady Aves in the league’s top 20 in Alsip, junior Hannah Brown and senior Caitlin Guy. Brown has been medalist once this year and Guy has improved her game since her junior year. “She’s been a pleasant surprise and has taken two shots off of her average from last year,” Brackenridge said. The rest of Sycamore’s seven have all moved up from what was a very competitive junior varsity squad. Seniors Stephanie Kley and Amy Kohmescher are the veterans, while Maya Outlaw and Hannah Zeldenstein are only sophomores. The 2011 GMC golfer of the year, Hanna Lee, moved away after that season, but moved back last year. She was ineligible in 2012, but hasn’t been cleared to play this season. “I’m still hoping to get her back sometime,” Brackenridge said. “She hurt herself on the See GIRLS, Page A7

Feet don’t fail CHCA grad helping CHCA soccer senior Bearcat special teams Shoes on the other hand... By Mark D. Motz mmotz@communitypress.com
SYMMES TWP. — The feet never stop moving so much so that Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy senior soccer forward Evan Glaser currently keeps them enclosed in a pair of two-year-old electric orange Adidas Predator cleats. “It’s all about the team and all about where I can be on the field to help,” he said. “If it’s up top or in the midfield or in the back third, I’m always going.” But why the old kicks? Because he’s worn through two other pairs of shoes in the last year. The Predators - which Glaser said were not an intentional match for his closecropped dark ginger hair still had some life in them. Glaser himself has found new life on the pitch for the Eagles. “Evan has been a work in progress for us the last few years,” said firstyear head coach Bryan Daniel. “He had always been a score-first player. This year, he’s looking to distribute the ball more. “He’s so much more valuable to us when he looks for his teammates. He can help orchestrate and build our attack. To see him embrace that has been pretty exciting.” Which isn’t to say Glaser doesn’t put the ball in the net. The 5-foot-10 West Chester resident led his team and was 10th in the Miami Valley Conference in scoring through Sept. 12. It’s just that he has an equal number of assists to go with the goals. “Every single moment I spend out here is a memorable moment,” he said. “When I look around the people I’m playing with guys I’ve known 10 to 13 years - I enjoy it. To see the joy when they get a goal or make a stop or a

Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy graduate John Lloyd trotted onto the field at Nippert Stadium, booted his first collegiate punt 41 yards and pinned Purdue University on its Lloyd own 12yard-line Aug. 31. Lloyd played behind all-Big East punter Patrick O’Donnell the last two years. He turned down a scholarship to one of UC’s biggest rivals to play for his hometown school.
“Louisville actually offered me (a scholarship),” said Lloyd, an Evendale resident. “And there were some other schools in the mix. I was also looking at Michigan, a couple MAC schools, N. C. St. and Texas A & M, but this was home for me.” After standing on the sideline with his helmet in his hand for two seasons, Lloyd was asked to recall his thoughts as he trotted on the field to make his first college punt on Saturday afternoon. “It was great,” he said. “Honestly, it was a little bit of a blur. It was exactly how I thought it would be, and I was hap-
py to get the chance. All the cards fell in the right places. I’ve been working hard all summer, and Sam (Geraci) has been pushing me, so I think that helped a lot.” Lloyd follows some excellent punters at UC, including Kevin Huber of the Bengals. He readily admits he needs to be more consistent, but when he hits the ball well, it flies off his leg and the redshirt junior is happy to be on the field. Lloyd played a variety of positions at CHCA. “I played all over,” he said. “I also played some tight end and back-up quarterback. I did a little bit of everything.”

with a dismantling of Covington Catholic going 20-25 for a pair of touchdowns. “We took an approach where we were working on our pass game all week,” Ragland said. “We went out and let loose. We’re just trying to get better at little things every week.” Rodenberg thinks the year at wide receiver helped Ragland in hitting his routes. He also admits that he doesn’t mind chucking the ball, even if the statue of Gerry Faust looks on at every practice. “We want to (throw),”
Rodenberg said. “We got sort of locked with Keith (Watkins) last year. We weren’t throwing efficiently. This year we’re kind of forcing ourselves to do it.” In baseball, Ragland’s developed a unique habit of following through so hard that his hat falls off of his head. Fortunately, the football Crusaders headgear contains a strap so Ragland’s kept his “head about him” in more ways than one this season. “Thank goodness, because then he’d have to come out a play,” Rodenberg said.

great pass, that makes me happy.” Glaser began playing soccer at age 3. This fall likely will be his last season as a competitive player. He plans follow in the footsteps of his parents Lynn and Robyn - and become a mechanical engineer, studying at the University of Cincinnati. “It will be very tough to give up,” he said. “I’ve spent so many years, so much time playing soccer. The moments we have out here, the fun we have, I’ll miss that. But engineering is a tough major and I have to focus on that. I will probably play some intramural for fun.” For now, though, the fun lies focusing on his teammates and watching his sophomore brother Keaton - a defender on the CHCA JV team - develop as a player. “I’d tell him to never
give up,” Evan said of his little brother. “I’d tell him what my dad always told me. ‘Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re probably right.’ I don’t know whose quote that it, but it’s true. You have to keep a good attitude.” Daniel appreciates this aspect. “The sacrificial aspect of the game,” he called it. “Playing a position you might not like for the good of he team. Making that run full speed when you’re dead tired. Doing things the right way. “These selfless acts have started to come easier for us. Our guys have bought in. They legitimately like each other, enjoy each others’ company. They’d go through a wall for each other. That unity, that trust in one another, is starting to show on the field.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Sims does it all for township
The fiscal officer race in Symmes Township affects all residents and warrants your attention. Fiscal Officer Carol Sims has 24 years experience as assistant fiscal officer. She works closely with township trustees and citizen committees – finance, zoning, planning, etc ... Sims averages 30 hours each week overseeing the financials of Symmes. Everything from planning the 2014 $8.5 million budget, filing state mandated reports, payroll. She does it all. The more I learn about the FO position, the more impressed I am with Sims’ expertise. Sims’ list of endorsements is
telling. Trustees, former fiscal officer, committee members, civic group officers, citizens have all worked with Carol and know she is the person to continue the tradition of excellence residents expect. Carol is engaged in the community, serving the Historical Society and neighborhood civic association. Residents like Carol make Symmes a great place to live. That last point is crucial. The other candidate has not made an effort to get to know Symmes. He has scheduled fundraisers for his campaign downtown. He hasn’t attended a trustee meeting over the last year to familiarize himself with the business of the township. We need the professionalism

and commitment to community exemplified by Carol Sims. Karen Diehl Camp Dennison
Berger leaves legacy in township
Wilma Berger served Symmes Township from 1980 through 1985, first as the township clerk (now known as fiscal officer) and then as trustee. Wilma passed away Sept. 7 and I just wanted the residents of Symmes Township to be aware of her passing. There are many residents who are new to our community and did not have a chance to know Wilma. There are many more who did knew her. She was responsible for my start
with Symmes Township in 1989 and it was her guidance and knowledge of Township government that made me understand what it means to be a public servant. Wilma Berger was always looking out for what was best for our community and contributed significantly to the township’s effort to maintain a planned, balanced and orderly growth of residential and commercial development which is the foundation for Symmes Township as we know it today. She was instrumental in the site acquisition and development of our first park on Lebanon Road. Wilma Berger will be missed. Carol A. Sims Camp Dennison

Nailing shut forever Pandora’s Box
Most observers are convinced that Assad has used chemical nerve poisons Syrian civilians. This is akin to the opening of a modern Pandora’s Box. Today, inside this Box, once confined to Mediterranean mythology, are weapons of mass destruction such as atomic, biological and chemical arms. While there is doubt as to atomic/nuclear weapons, it is certain that Syria has large stockpiles of chemical arms and the capacity to make more. Now we are once again faced with the reality of the opening of Pandora’s Box in anger, perhaps also in desperation, but unleashed neverthe-

less to horrific effect. But as Zeus first packed all the world’s scourges and evils into a box as a not-to-beopened gift to Pandora, inevitably the box from time to time has been
opened. The story goes that even the gods grew so tired of the evil and got sick of the suffering caused by the opening of Pandora’s Box that they debated the annihilation of the entire human race. The best method
was thought to be uncommon fire started by thunderbolts from the sky. However, Zeus was restrained by another’s argument that the all-consuming flames might set fire to his own backyard thereby reducing the magnificence of Mount Olympus to hot ash. The 21st century paradox is that because of the experience of the terrible wars of the last century, weapons of mass destruction are so deadly that one would have to think very hard about using them in anger, especially when the other side also has such weapons. The world survived the Cold War for the simple reason that the United States and the Soviet
Union were rationale decisionmakers. But what about an irrational tyrant or a madman who thinks nothing of his own destruction? Or a desperate one facing a nothing-more-to-lose situation? Another happier version of Pandora’s Box is that knowing that her uncontrollable urges would guarantee their release, another deity also slipped Hope into the box, and it was released as well. The Hope today, is that the leading nations of the world, all of whom have agreed through international convention to the elimination of chemical and biological weapons (and the limitation of nuclear arms as well) will come togeth-
er and agree on a feasible and determined plan to not only get the evil back into the box but forever nail it shut so that none may be able to open it again. Postscript: Chemical nerve agents, a redesigned version of modern organophosphate insecticides, can be permanently destroyed by thermal or chemical treatment. While the control technology has been known since the creation of such hideous chemicals, the safe deployment of such processes, especially under battlefield conditions, is tedious and must be carefully performed.
the Anderson Redskins. YES, I think this tradition should continue mainly because this is the school’s chosen name and mascot from many years ago. If some are offended ... that is life!”
“None of these terms suggest weakness, failure or shame. Yet if we use anything other than an inanimate object or an animal we run the risk of offending someone. “Reminds me of the public grade school my kids went to in another large city – we couldn’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in school unless it was referred to as Green Day. No Christmas party just a red and green holiday party. “Geez, give me a flippin’ break!!! Get a life. We can’t protect our kids from everything one might find offensive, alien or not of their custom. “Life is, after all, terminal – no one gets out alive. Deal with it.”

CH@TROOM Sept. 11 question Should local high schools have American Indian nicknames or use American Indian mascots. Why or why not?
“I wish to strongly and unequivocally speak against the use of Native American nicknames and mascots for local high school football teams; or, for that matter, in any other inappropriate context. While I love my country, I cannot help but be ashamed and saddened at the treatment Native Americans have received at the hands of our government. Their systematic physical displacement, or wholesale elimination, was done solely in the interest of land acquisition, monetary gain, and power attainment. In this present day, it is my opinion we that we owe them a heartfelt apology. Thus, our use of nicknames and mascots at their expense serves only to fortify our perception of superiority; and, is tantamount to mockery. I can’t help but wonder how they felt about illegal immigration.” JAL
“The use of American Indian mascots never used to be a concern. Miami University at Oxford changed from Redskins to Red Hawks in 1997. Somehow it had been OK from 1888 till then. I think if there is a large population of Native Americans located in the area of a school they should have a say on this matter. E.G the Florida State University polled the local Native Americans who had no problem with the moniker of Seminoles. I am quite sure most names are fine with Native Americans.

However the term Redskins does seem to cause some concern for the NFL Team in Washington and should be re-evaluated. I can only hope the Reds are not asked to change their moniker from Reds because it denotes WWII communists. Now what to do about those Cleveland Glenville Tarblooders? Go figure!” T.D.T.
“No, American Indian names should not be used by schools. Why? Because they don’t want us to use their names, just like Blacks don’t want certain names used for them, Italians don’t want certain names used, and so forth. “It’s not for us to decide. We have to respect their wishes.” MHH
“This is a simple question for me. I have a deep respect and affection for Native Americans. I have lived near reservations, had Native American friends and learned about the culture and the present day challenges. “However, I had a child that graduated from Anderson (Redskins) High School and spent many times on football

and baseball fields yelling “Go, Redskins!” It seems to me that there are so many names in the English dictionary that certainly every high school and college in this country could select a non-Native American name and build loyalty and competition around it. “In business and even nonprofit organizations, names change all the time. It can be fun to celebrate a new name. Let’s support our schools in developing new names that don’t disrespect Native American tribes and culture.” E.E.C.
“Only school teams located on reservation lands should be allowed to use traditional Native American names. Miami University even changed its mascot to Redhawks some time ago for this reason. “American settlers and soldiers stole the whole continent from Native Americans; it isn’t too much to ask to allow native people the cultural dignity of changing offensive, stereotypical names. “People will try to argue that a new name doesn’t reflect heritage accurately; well, that’s the same argument used by racists in the South who preserve the Confederate flag.” TRog
“Syria, Common Core, ObamaCare, Quantitative Easing, Benghazi, Hillary 2016 ... Think the country has more important things to worry about. Go Redskins!” L.D.

“Native American nicknames and mascots have been around for at least a century. When any school chooses a mascot the choice is always made for persons or objects that are easily recognized as symbols for qualities to be admired and emulated. Native Americans are no exception whether they are Seminoles, Braves, Redskins, Warriors, Illini, Eskimos, Indians, Blackhawks, Aztecs, etc. “According to personal online research several years ago, the only opposition comes from a small modern activist group known to pressure schools, teams and similar organizations with their only goal being their acceptance of large sums of money to be quiet and go away. “So far I have never heard of a school choosing to be known as the Fighting Boneheads or Ohio Birdbrains. Would blacks be offended if a school chose to be known as the Freedom Fighters? Are churches offended by the New Orleans Saints? How about the Fighting Irish?” R.V.
“Our society is becoming too politically correct and over sensitive. I am not sure why it is so derogatory to use the Indian as a mascot- strength, bravery, athleticism, etc.

“Yes, until they get rid of the Washington Redskins or change Indian Hill to Red Hawk Mountain!” D.J.H.
“Disrespect to American Indians for sure. But more importantly, this is the vital question of the week from the new near monopoly of the papers in Clermont? You have got to be kidding. “How about this: Is it treason to collaborate on Inauguration Day to bring down the presidency (show disrespect) of the newly elected black president? I say darn close. “But like American Indians, Obama earned his disrespect by being born, unlike Bush, who earned his by his now reviled actions. I know I’ll never see this comment in the paper.”

Rita ushers in baking season with crust, pecan pie puffed and golden and jiggle a bit in the center but that’s OK. Cool a couple of hours before serving.
Can you help?
Hotel Sinton’s pea salad for Jan B. This Western Hills reader said she made it a lot and everyone loved it. She lost her recipe.
You’ll think you’re in cooking class with these detailed instructions, but they are worth following. 2 cups all-purpose flour ⁄2 teaspoon baking powder (the secret ingredient) 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt 1 cup Crisco shortening, chilled (I use Crisco sticks) 1 ⁄2 cup ice cold water 1
Whisk together dry ingredients. Cut shortening into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Scatter over flour mixture and, using a fork or pastry blender, cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some large pieces remaining (about the size of peas – yes, it will work!). This is what will give you flakiness. Sprinkle half the cold water over and stir and draw flour with fork from bottom to top, distributing water evenly. Add more water until dough is moist enough to hold together when you roll a little bit into a ball.
I usually use up all the water. Divide in half and shape into two balls. Flatten balls into round disks. I like to refrigerate dough anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight, but that’s not necessary. (You can also freeze the dough for a couple of months, thawing in refrigerator before using). Roll out on lightly floured surface from center out. I sprinkle a bit of flour on top of the dough so it doesn’t stick to the rolling pin, or you can skip flour and roll it out between wax or parchment paper. Roll into a circle inches wider than pie plate.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
Yes, you can use the food processor, too. Just use the pulse button.
Rita’s pecan pie
I use dark corn syrup. Light corn syrup gives a “softer” flavor. Check out my blog for chocolate pecan pie.

CE-0000568121
For years it was like a gray culinary cloud over my head. I called it pie crust envy. My mom was the first to try to teach me to make a flaky and tender pie crust. “Just don’t overwork the dough, use a light hand,” she told me. At the time I read something in a cookbook that said “work the Rita shortening Heikenfeld into the RITA’S KITCHEN flour until it’s all the size of small peas.” So I tried to do just that. The crust rolled out easily and I baked what I thought was the most beautiful apple pie in the world. I took it to our church kitchen for bingo and I’ll never forget the look on Ruth Haglage’s face as she tried to cut into the crust. She sawed and sawed at that crust and finally broke through. I was so embarrassed. Ruth knew I was a novice pie baker and told me not to worry, that the filling was delicious and the crust was OK. After that disaster, every time I made pie crust by hand I was filled with anxiety. Then I met Perrin Rountree. Perrin is an Anderson Township reader and excellent Southern cook and baker. She worked with me at my cooking school at McAlpin’s. Perrin shared her recipe for pie crust with a secret ingredient. That was years ago and the crust has never let me down. No more pie crust envy!

Forums focus on end-of-life issues Many families are faced with sensitive challenges in talking with elder relatives about how to handle the inevitable end to their lives – what to do, how to go about it. Hospice of Cincinnati and St. Barnabas Episcopal Church are teaming up to provide a series of discussions that will offer pertinent information from professionals well versed in these issues. The goal of these discussions, to be followed by question and answer exchanges, is to give families information and resources that may help them be better prepared to discuss these critical issues with elderly family members.

All of them will take place at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, 10345 Montgomery Road, Montgomery. Details of the events and topics: » “Conversations of a Lifetime,” Sunday, Sept. 22, at 4 p.m. This presentation emphasizes the importance of end-of-life conversations among patients, families, and caregivers. Volunteers will give their experiences discussing these issues with their parents. » “How to Talk to Your Doctor,” Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 7:30 p.m.
Dr. Rebecca Bechhold, chief medical officer of Hospice of Cincinnati, will lead the discussion. She will offer information about talking with with your doctor about discussing serious illness and possible outcomes. » “Hospice 101.” Wednesday, Nov. 20, at noon.

Free tuition welcome for UC Blue Ash students
One week after West Chester Township Kyle Walker lost his father to a massive heart attack, he learned that he was the winner of free tuition for the summer session at the University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College. “It was amazing news and a big relief during a very difficult time,” said Walker, who was devastated about death of his father and also concerned about how he was going to pay for college. The sophomore wants to become a physical therapist, a program that demands a doctorate degree for new graduates. The free tuition is the result of a program at UC Blue Ash that encourages students to register early for the upcoming semesters. Those who register by the designated deadline are automatically entered into a drawing to win free tuition. The college offered this opportunity to students for the summer sessions, as well as the upcoming fall semester. Of the more than 2,700 students who were eligible, two winners were selected, Walker for the summer and Jessica Proffitt for the fall. The summer tuition has a value of approximately $1,700, while the fall tuition is $2,500. “We are always excited to provide scholarships, grants or financial aid that help our students

pursue their education and follow their dreams,” said Cady Short-Thompson, Dean of UC Blue Ash. “Having lost my mother in my early 20s, I empathize with Kyle in his loss. It is satisfying for me to know that we are all rooting for him at UC Blue Ash.” Proffitt, who is a junior from Sharonville and graduate of Mount Notre Dame High School, works part-time while taking classes toward an associate degree in medical assisting. “I truly appreciate this gift of free tuition, it really means a lot,” said Jessica.

Hamilton County residents still have time to recycle their obsolete computer equipment and televisions with Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District’s free program. To date, 116,380 pounds of computer equipment and televisions have been collected and recycled. The free computer and tv drop-off program is open to Hamilton County residents only from 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays until October 26 at two Cohen locations. (The program will be closed for the Labor Day holiday Aug. 31.): Cohen Norwood, 5038 Beech St., Norwood; Cohen Cincinnati, 4538 Kellogg Ave. “I encourage residents to take advantage of this free opportunity to properly recycle not only their computer equipment, but especially large televisions,” said Holly Christmann, director of Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services. “Large TVs can be difficult and expensive to recycle and this is one of the few opportunities to do so free of charge.” Residents must bring proof of residency, such as a driver’s license or utility bill, in order to participate. This program prohibits the acceptance of computer equipment/TVs from businesses, churches, schools and non-profit organizations. Acceptable items include: CPUs, hard drives, personal copiers, docking stations, monitors, scan-

Health Council honors health care champions at awards gala
The Greater Cincinnati Health Council presented a trio of prestigious awards to individuals and teams who led the area’s hospital and health care community in patient safety, innovation and service at its annual meeting. The awards include the 11th annual Gawne Richard M. Smith, MD, Leadership in Patient Safety Award, which was presented to Dr. Berc Gawne, The Christ Hospital Health Network, and Janice Maupin, Mercy Health Anderson Hospital. The Innovative Solutions in Patient Care Award went to Mercy Health for its nurse care coordination pilot and a special first-time award, the Servant Leadership Award, was given to Michael Linke, Veterans Affairs Medical Center. “All of our award win-
ners have demonstrated a dynamic ability to innovate, collaborate and serve the Tristate health care community, and it is our privilege to honor them for their outstanding leadership and service,” said Craig Brammer, CEO of the Health Council, the Health Collaborative and HealthBridge. “Their work is a stellar example of the diverse health care successes being achieved in Greater Cincinnati that are improving care and helping to lower costs.”

Patient Safety Award
Gawne, a Sycamore Township resident, is vice president and chief medical officer at the Christ Hospital Health Network, and leads Christ’s Target Zero work to reduce medical errors and improve patient safety.

PROVIDED
ship meetings and presents a monthly safety moment award as recognition for employees who take steps to keep safety a priority in their daily jobs. Gawne also implemented a Transition of Care Committee at Christ, a multi-disciplinary group of individuals from within Christ and also

from community organizations (such as hospice, home health, skilled nursing and The Council on Aging) whose mission is to provide safe and effective patient hand-offs and communication among providers. Maupin, director of quality service at Mercy Health Anderson Hospi-
tal, has been a steadfast promoter of achieving a culture of safety. She developed the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Safety Across the System model and spread it to all Mercy hospitals in the area. She collaborated with executive leaders and helped implement culture change among
frontline staff, a process that involved continuous coaching, education and employee engagement. Through this culture change, Mercy Health Anderson Hospital had significant improvements in fall rates, deepvein thrombosis rates, surgical site infections and handoff procedures.
