Their opinions merit attention Sycamore’s 25 scholars again lead state By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com

Most of the 25 Sycamore High School seniors recently named National Merit Scholarship Program semifinalists disagree with the governor’s plan to extend the school year. They are more divided on Gov. Ted Strickland’s plan to require seniors to perform community service in order to graduate. Community-service advocate and semifinalist Mark Rubeo of Montgomery puts it this way: “Honestly, if you haven’t given anything back to the community that gave you an education, you don’t deserve a diploma.” The opinions of the semifinalists are objectively worth listening to. By National Merit standards, the students are the academic cream of the crop at Sycamore High School and Sycamore High School is the academic cream of the crop among high schools in Ohio. For the second time in three years, there have been more National Merit semifinalists at Sycamore High School than any other public or private school in the state. Sycamore High also topped the list in 2007 with 31 semifinalists. Since 1986, about 455 Sycamore High School students have been named semifinalists, said Erika Daggett, spokeswoman for the Sycamore Community Schools. To what do school officials attribute their success? “I would say that there is a combination of factors – a strong and expansive curriculum, a community that cares about education and supports its schools, a faculty that is committed to excellence in all facets of learning,” school counselor supervisor Vince Rahnfeld said. “We consistently tell students that the best preparation is success in day-to-day classroom learning. We have extremely accomplished students in every grade as evidenced by our consistency over the years.” Nineteen of the 25 Sycamore High semifinalists said in an informal survey that they do not support the governor’s plan to extend the school year. “Summer is an important part of a student’s life,” semifinalist Aniruddha Kaushik of Montgomery said. “The time off of school helps a student work on themselves as individuals.”

Some 25 seniors at Sycamore High School have been named National Merit Scholarship Program semifinalists. From left: front, Hannah Rashkin, Jing Xing, Kathryn Tolley, Noel Ripberger and Melissa French; second row, Josh Goldman, Joyce Zhang, Erin Kosel and Sukhada Kulkarni; third row, Andrew Jensen, Aniruddha Kaushik and Bryan Summerlin; fourth row, Chris King, Mark Rubeo and Briana Conners; fifth row, Joseph Lee, Dan Ashton and Ashvin Srivatsa; sixth row, Jordan Chen, David Jungerwirth and Sheena Patel; seventh row, Matthew Korn, Benjamin Lee, Jordan Kulb and Neil Krishnan. Said Erin Kosel of Sycamore Township, “Resources should be used to increase the quality of schools, not the quantity of days attended.” Sheena Patel of Symmes Township is one of just three semifinalists who support extending the school year. A handful of the students have qualifications to their opinions. “I would love to have a longer school year if it meant I could take more classes,” Patel said. Noel Ripberger of Symmes Township said, “Extended school years help students retain information.” Regarding community service as a graduation requirement, 15 of the semifinalists like the idea while the other 10 turn thumbs down.

“High school is fundamentally about education,” Ashvin Srivatsa of Blue Ash said. “Students ought to be educated as to why volunteerism is critical, but should be allowed to make a decision of whether or not to volunteer on their own.” Agreed Hannah Rashkin of Blue Ash, “It kills the spirit of community service to make it a requirement.” Jordan Chen of Blue Ash sees it differently. “Most students already do perform some kind of community service, and this requirement would encourage more students to become involved in the community,” Chen said. National Merit scholarship winners will be announced next year.

Gold “Selling Tips” for the “First Time Seller”

1.) When calling for quotes…questions you have should be answered clearly, and will be a good indicator of how your experience will go.

3.) Always ask for “prices per gram” (not pennyweight) for each type of karat. If you don’t get an answer… DON’T SELL!

2.) Always have your items weighed and separated by karat in your presence. If you can’t be present…DON’T SELL!

4.) Never meet anyone to sell your items.

Best football yet to come for Moeller 2009 season. Indian Hill senior quarterback Sam Hendricks threw for 117 yards and a touchdown while going 9of-12 passing. Hendricks also rushed for 98 yards and three touchdowns on nine carries. Indian Hill junior Reid Lockwood scored a pair of touchdowns and racked up 183 yards on 14 carries. Deer Park senior Ben Flamm managed to score two touchdowns while gaining 105 yards in the losing effort.

The Moeller Crusaders are 4-0 to start the season and are ranked No. 4 in the state AP poll, but the Crusaders have yet to play their best football. “We certainly haven’t hit on all cylinders and still need to get a little better,” said head coach John Rodeneberg. “We’re doing things to win games, which is good, but we still aren’t playing the way I think we should be playing.” Rodenberg said he would like to see more consistency on offense and to see the fumbles on special teams and mistakes on defense eliminated. The defense has been bolstered by the return of senior linebacker Nick Galvin, who missed the season opener with an injury. “He has experience and speed and he’s an all-city performer. He is just solid all the way around,” Rodenberg said. There have been other standout performers thus far for the Crusaders, including Marcus Rush on defense. “He has played outstanding,” Rodenberg said. “Garret Mize is another player doing big things for us. He’s having a great senior year.” Offensively, Rodenberg praised the play of senior quarterback Andrew Hendrix and junior running back Richie Dyer. “Our offensive line is playing spectacular, Richie has been very good and whenever we need a play, Andrew comes through for us,” he said. The offense has been stagnant at times and Rodenberg said all Moeller needs is a breakout game. “Some of the receivers are still playing like sophomores and juniors, but they will get there. We need a game when they can breakout and get more confidence,” he said. Despite the inconsistencies, the Crusaders are 3-0 with some good wins against Winton Woods, Hamilton and Centerville. Rodenberg praised the senior class for the early success. “They have been there and know how to get it done. We’re winning games and getting points when we need to. They know what to do to get wins,” he said. Things don’t get much easier for the Crusaders, especially since two other

Moeller 49, Findlay 7

The Crusaders kept its undefeated season alive with a week-four win on the road over Findlay, 49-7. Moeller hosts Mentor in week five at Lockland Stadium at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. In week four, Moeller out-gained Findlay by a 615-146 yard margin during its 42-point victory. The Crusaders scored 21 points in both the first and second quarters and had a 42-7 lead going into halftime. Joseph Bracken carried the ball for 133 yards and a touchdown on 26 attempts for Moeller. Richie Dyer scored twice on the ground while gaining 100 yards on 10 carries. Tucker Skove (10 carries, 87 yards and one touchdown) and Jeff Aubin (nine carries, 78 yards, two touchdowns) also had productive days on the ground for Moeller. Quarterback Andrew Hendrix was 12-for-20 passing for 109 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions.

The stakes are high as the rivals from Cincinnati Country Day and Summit Country Day prepare for a week-five showdown at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25.

Clark Montessori junior Xavier KnoxSandipher forces an incomplete pass with a timely hit on Cincinnati Country Day sophomore quarterback Jake Dietz during a week-four game Thursday, Sept. 17. CCD kept its undefeated season alive with its weekfour win over Clark Montessori, 27-6, as the Indians improved to 4-0. Summit fell to 3-1 with its week-four loss to the 4-0 squad from Lockland, 41-6. Both teams aim to climb the Miami Valley Conference standings with a week-five win. “Summit is always a big game for us. They are our arch rival and have had a great start to the season,” CCD head coach Tim Dunn said. “It’s their homecoming and it will be a big one for us.” CCD senior standout Max Dietz, a Hyde Park resident, scored on the opening kickoff in week four to give his Indians an immediate 6-0 lead over Clark. However, Clark tied the game at 6-6 and the score remained the same until late in the second quarter. But before the whistle for halftime, Dietz scored two more touchdowns in the last four minutes of the second quarter on a 60-yard run and a five-yard run to open the game up. All told, Dietz accounted for 290 all-purpose yards, scored all four of his team’s touchdowns and recorded

an interception on defense. Dietz rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries during the Indian’s week-four win. “It was kind of the Max Dietz show again for us,” Dunn joked. “He is the best player on both sides of the ball.” In addition to playing offense and defense, Dietz is also the punter and kicker for CCD. “We’d like to get him off the field a little more and give him a break but we haven’t been able to,” Dunn joked. Aside from Dietz’s standout play, Dunn also credited linebacker Wyatt Tiffany with helping lead CCD’s defense against Clark. “The defense played well and that has been our strength: Dietz and the defense,” Dunn said. “Our front seven have all been standouts all year. They have done a pretty good job stopping the run.”

Indian Hill 65, Deer Park 27

Indian Hill aims to start its first winning streak of the season as the Braves travel to face Madeira (2-2) at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25. The Braves improved to 1-3 with its week-four win over Deer Park, 65-27. Deer Park fell to 0-4 and travel to face Taylor (2-2) in week four at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25. Deer Park kept things interesting early as Indian Hill only led by a 20-14 margin after the first quarter. However, Indian Hill scored 35 unanswered points in the second quarter to secure its first win of the

Junior Jamie Stagnaro had three interceptions for the Eagles – including a 25yard, pick-six to give CHCA a 42-0 lead at the half. CHCA outgained New Miami 310-109, as seven different Eagles scored touchdowns, including senior Doyen Harris, who had touchdown runs of 13 and 30 yards; senior Ben Peters, who returned an interception 55 yards for a score; junior fullback Didi Charles, who scored from two yards out; junior Nick Lawley, who scored from three yards out; and senior Andrew Perkins, who scored from 11 yards out. The Eagles (3-1, 1-0) play at North College Hill Sept. 25.

Middletown 40, Sycamore 0

Lakota West’s stingy defense looms on Sycamore’s schedule after the Aviators’ offense struggled through a 103-yard performance in week four. Sycamore hosts Lakota West (3-1, 1-0) in week five at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25. Lakota West has only allowed 32 points against this season with no opponent scoring more than 12 points in a game. The Aviators fell to 2-2 with its week-four loss to Middletown, 40-0. Middletown out-gained the Aviators by a 453-103 yard margin in the game. Sycamore only scored four first downs compared to 19 first downs for Middletown. DeCarlos Smith led Sycamore with 67 yards on 14 carries during the loss. Middletown’s Caleb Watkins was 11-for-19 passing with three touchdowns and 226 yards.

Sycamore soccer enjoys hot start By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com

The Sycamore High School soccer team graduated 11 seniors, including two all-state players, from its 2008 team. A slower start for the more inexperienced 2009 squad could be expected. Instead, the 2009 Aves have had a hot start, winning six of their first seven games. “We did not anticipate a fast start but a lot of guys have embraced their roles and stepped up,” head coach Scott Sievering said.

“It’s exciting to see.” The big question for Sievering this season is where the goals would come from. The defense wasn’t a concern because it’s the one area Sycamore returns a considerable amount of experience. The team has found plenty of scoring though, in the form of senior Ben Dhiman and juniors Max Riehemann and Jeff Wolkoff. The trio has combined for 18 goals and all three are ranked in the top five in scoring in the GMC. “I just wasn’t sure where

we would get goals but we’re getting them and that’s been the big key,” Sievering said. He said the big difference between the 2008 team and the 2009 team is the depth across the field. “Last year we had two super stars and this year we’re hard to defend because there’s not really one or two guys to key on,” Sievering said. “Everyone has accepted their roles and that makes us a lot more dangerous. We’re not about superstars; we’re about a collective unit this year.”

Keeping players healthy will be a key for Sycamore, which has had some players miss time due to injuries. Sievering said if you haven’t been to a soccer game yet, you know what you will get when you come to a Sycamore home game. “You’re going to see a lot of excitement and enthusiasm in the stands and on the field,” he said. “I can guarantee we’re going to play for 80 minutes. This team doesn’t take plays off. There’s no point in the game where their hearts are not into it and that’s fun to see.”

Taking a flyer that it’s time to change council

Recent posts and response from Bruce Healey’s Blue Ash Direct blog at Cincinnati.com/Blueash

The flyer and Mr. Weber “Ah, it must be election time again in Blue Ash. I just heard from my council member for the first time since he was elected about eight years ago. Mark Weber sent me a charming, if somewhat pointless, blue flyer telling me how wonderful the city was and some upcoming events. I agree, by the way, that Blue Ash is a wonderful city. “I say this newsletter is pointless because most of the information that Mr. Weber sent me was already sent out to residents by the city of Blue Ash. I wonder, who paid for Mr. Weber’s flyer? I hope it was not the city, lest Mr. Weber be accused of using the ‘City Party Machine’ to promote his own image at our expense, before the election. “This is why I will not vote for Mr. Weber: “1, He stated, at the meeting of the Blue Ash City Council that decided to increase the density of ‘Manor Anthill’ to 91 units, that he believed Sibcy Cline had ‘done their homework’ and that if they needed that 91 units to make it viable, then he would vote for approval. Really Mr. Weber? They got it wrong twice before, so what makes you believe so blindly in their marketing savvy? Such thoughtless voting is what puts a town in trouble, sir, and I for one will not vote for anyone who espouses it. “2, Mr. Weber was involved in the scandalous selection process

for the ‘at large’ replacement council member. Allow me to state, as I did in writing at the time, that I was probably the least qualified candidate – but there were several other, highly qualified candidates interviewed. The Community Press received a letter before council’s choice was made public, naming Mr. Adamec as the ‘winner.’ sent by a third party. Seems the Republican Mr. Adamec was council’s choice all along, according to that letter. Yes, the interview process appears to have been, at the very least, an unnecessary waste of time for the sake of form. Such antics, sir, are unbecoming of a council member and I for one will not vote for anyone who participates in such behavior. “3, Mr. Weber supported wholeheartedly the removal of the Veterans Memorial from downtown and its move to the new park, on the site of the airport. This would have put the memorial on the very edge of town. This move was suggested so that the square downtown could be ‘redeveloped.’ Really Mr. Weber? You want to redevelop a perfectly good square while some streets in Blue Ash have no sidewalks? When citizens signed a petition to stop these antics, he dismissed the effort by stating that people probably signed the petition to get the petitioners off their porches. Wanting to move the Veterans Memorial to a distant corner of our city for the sake of ‘development,’ sir, is not acceptable to me or many Blue Ash residents, and I will not vote for anyone who backed such a scheme. “4, The city, of which Mr. Weber is vice mayor, has opted to receive federal stimulus money for

re-surfacing Reed Hartman between Glendale-Milford and Cooper roads. Really Mr. Weber? Is it necessary to spend federal funds on what is, at the very least, a project of questionable necessity? The argument is that if we did not take the money we would not get it for any other project. Well, I for one, think that we should not have taken the money. Perhaps we should have submitted another proposal, for sidewalks in the neighborhoods without them. Perhaps if we had not taken the money maybe a road somewhere else, badly in need of repair would have received the funds. ‘Taking the money an running’ is not my idea of thoughtful and mature governance. Therefore, sir, I will not vote for you. “But, thanks for the flyer.”

Reaction “BA Bruce ... I look forward to your blog and can’t click my mouse fast enough when I see that you have written a new one. I was actually speechless after reading this one. Sir, you say what many people think or whisper quietly to one another and for this, I thank you.” MarineMom89 “Well said, Bruce. Weber needs to go. And he can take the others with him. They brought Waltz in here without due process and he couldnt run Silverton!” Deirdra Lewisnki “Well said Bruce, I very much enjoy your writings, and in most part (99.9 percent)agree with them!

CH@TROOM Sept. 16 questions

Are you concerned about traffic near your child’s school? Where are the problem areas? What solutions do you offer? No responses. Has there been a decline in civility at town hall meetings and public meetings in general? If so, why is this happening? “Wordnetweb defines civility as: politeness: the act of showing regard for others. “In a interactive communication process such as town hall meetings, the constituents arrive with the expectation that their concerns will be listened to, heard and processed, with relevant feedback provided by the representative or official. The public arrives anticipating that the officials will in fact show a regard for others. “Alas, the representatives’ frequent dismissal of pointed, toughto-answer, on-the-spot questions and continued reliance on grandstanding or canned rhetoric causes confusion and conflict. Soon frustration sets it and the natural tendency of the public is to address the absence of civility or the climate of rudeness with a reciprocal response. “The hypothesis is: If officials actually start to listen and provide direct, sincere answers – thus treating their constituents with due respect and civility – will the behavior of the public follow suit?” “Momma duck, baby duck.” D.M. “Unfortunately, yes, there has been a decline in civility at town

It’s sad to think that this is what they are teaching our children; as how to accomplish anything for the common good. The behavior is not only childish, It has been rude and prone toward violence. Most people want to hear the facts and debate the issues, not just listen to someone screaming obscenities and name calling. I hope this is not the new America. They have turned off a lot of people by this behavior. Where are the statesmen?” A.T. “Yes. Emotions are over running manners.” B.L. “People are fed up that the officials that we elected to represent us aren’t. It comes out of frustration.” C.A.S.

‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ goings on in Blue Ash. Unfortunately, it has been the latter two. I would use the ‘Open city hall’ forum on the Blue Ash Web site to post comments, but we all know what a locked down, high security, log your IP, track who is making the comments, only what they talk want to talk about, delete what we don’t like farce it is!” opine25 “Thank you for the column. I hope when people read this it makes them think about how each of our council members have voted in the past. There are five people running against our current council. The citizens can make a difference! It’s time for us to finally have our voices heard! What better way than to elect five new faces that are eager to listen to what the citizens have to say! Think about it-do your research, and vote in November!” shepherdlover “I just couldn’t help but to be amazed by our newest creative writer who seems to enjoy stirring the pot, but really has no real material or ability to right all that he seems to feel is wrong with our fine city. “The personal attack on one of our council members seems like a real effort to try and make yourself stand out as the ‘Knight in Shinning Armor.’ The comment

regarding Park Manor shows just how uninformed you are and with that mind set you will succeed in undermining any efforts in moving forward in the downtown area. If you think that this area would be better off with some sort of park or public area I’m sure the owner would love to accept your check for this property and then you could donate to the fine people of Blue Ash. Somehow I don’t think you would be so free with this very well thought out plan if you were making the mortgage payments. I thought that there was an interview process that was done for the vacant council seat and after this Mr. Adamec was chosen, but if you feel you would be a better representative it’s not to late to add your name on the ballot for council. I guess it’s just easier to sit back and critize than to do something about it, what with all your insight into these matters. “As to the moving of the Veteran’s Memorial, it was an effort to get something going in a downtown that is stagnating. All the surrounding properties have priced themselves out of the market and no developer in this market would touch anything in that area. “And lastly in regards to resurfacing the streets in our city. I guess you would be one of the guys who likes to wait until the intergrity of the road is so destroyed that you now have a complete new road project rather than preventive maintenance one that will allow it to function for many years. “Hope you enjoyed the holiday in our fine city!” maintain

VOICES FROM THE WEB Boy, oh boy

Visitors to Cincinnati.com/blueash posted these comments to a story about a 15-year-old Sharonville boy who led Blue Ash police on a high-speed chase early Monday that ended in a crash in the 4100 block of Wenbrook Drive: “Throw his parents in jail too for gross parenting incompetence. Since this punk endangered the lives of innocent people he should be charged with attempted murder as he choose to flee and he could have easy killed someone.” idiot-detector “When I was 14, I rode a bicycle!!” beachbum77 “I think the paper needs a new policy about juvenile crime. If you report a story about some crime because you deem it newsworthy, then the perps should be named. “If the paper’s goal is to "protect" these kids, then don’t even report the story.” VirginianSCA “I think this kid should not be allowed to get a driver’s license’– ever. He could have killed somebody. As far as ‘idiotdetector’ wrote’– I’m not 100 percent sure that the parents are incompetent. They may not have been home and the kid was being completely irresponsible. Some kids ‘just don’t get it,’ no matter how hard the parents try to be good, responsible parents. Then, again, maybe the whole family is questionable. Who knows! “It is way too easy for kids to get driver’s licenses. Maybe there should be a test section that has questions about choices, responsibility, good common sense. Something like the Rohrshach test. They can figure out a lot through that one. It’s just too easy and these kids get permits at 151⁄2 years old now.” grandmasunshine “I’m sure the negative comments

PERSON TO PERSON

The Princeton High School senior who stands alone as a National Merit Scholarship semi-finalist has been excelling throughout his years at the school. Christopher Steineman of Sycamore Township is the only Princeton student to be in the running among about 16,000 nationwide for 8,200 scholarships. He entered the competition through the 2008 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, earning a spot in a group that represents less than one percent of high school seniors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When any kid meets that type of platform, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative of their collective work,â&#x20AC;? said William Sprankles, Princeton high school principal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chris has handled business for quiet a while,â&#x20AC;? he said of Steinemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments. Besides being a member of the varsity soccer team, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played virtually all positions, Steineman has stood out academically throughout his high school years. As a junior, he took home six medals, as well as honors for excellence in math and science. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the academic awards last year, he cleaned house,â&#x20AC;?

Why love treats us the way it does When two people marry, one of the greatest mysteries of life is gradually demystified before their eyes. For when we marry, love itself comes to live with us. As children we learned there was something called love. Parents, older siblings, schoolmates, songs and movies spoke of it. Often they seemed to imply that love actually was sexuality. We didn’t understand. Yet, since we were old enough to know love existed, and then soon felt its attraction and enchantment we looked for love, too. After many futile relationships, heartaches, and years of searching, we believed we found true love with a special person. It must be true love, we thought, because of the thrilling way it made us feel. We were in love! Our wedding was beautiful, our honeymoon was spent somewhere with our bodies in each other’s arms, and then we moved into a little home of our own. When we moved in, love moved in with us - though we didn’t realize all its

Father Lou Guntzelman Perspectives

intentions. One day we were amazed when love took off its clothes, stretched out on our bed while eating an apple, and

announced it was here to stay. Suddenly, this elusive and mysterious thing called love was not so elusive or hidden. Rather, it became that which cannot be gotten rid of (unless we made the decision to throw it out.) What was glamorous and exciting and sexy now has its days when it is anything but all that. What was a dream is now here and asking daily to be listened to. In “The Mystery of Marriage,” author Mike Mason notes, “The situation with love, now that one is married, becomes comparable to the philosophical question about the dog chasing the car - “What happens if he catches it?” Marriage faces spouses

with the same question, “What do you do with love once you have finally caught it?” In a sense, he opines, marriage is a trap. A trap to get us to be brave enough to live with love day after day and to learn what love really is. For God knows, we misunderstand love. Spouses quickly become surprised to find out what’s underneath love’s charming exterior, and to know it when it’s stark naked and demystified. As Mason notes, over the years love sometimes pulls the rug out from under us, turns the world upside down, or throws a pail of cold water in our faces and says, “You haven’t learned about me yet!” It demands the very best we can offer. And at other times that are just glorious, love teaches us it is the most exquisite thing in the world. When love is demystified and lives with us in the ordinary of every day, it is bothersome at first. We can even become disappointed and disillusioned and start looking for the mystified version again. We’re all

seduced at times by the French proverb, “Only the beginnings of love are beautiful” But true love has its own purpose in being so demanding. Its purpose is to gradually transform us and turn us into genuine lovers. That’s why it employs such drastic strategies: asking us to forgive over and over again; to be patient with each other and ourselves; to communicate instead of pouting or keeping a cool distance. Later in life, and especially in the next, love will take off its earthly mask and become further demystified. We will recognize that, as the scriptures say, “God is love,” and that all along he was growing us and teaching us what true love means.

Montgomery hosts fall plant swap open to the public. The “swap” provides an excellent opportunity for avid gardeners to find homes for their divided perennials while being enticed by new garden varieties. Bulbs, tubers and

seeds are also welcome for swapping. Commission members recommend that attendees label their “swaps” by providing the plant's name and its sun or shade preference. Members of the commis-

sion will also be in attendance to exhibit bins for compost leaf collecting. Orders for the bins will be taken at the event. Questions? Call Montgomery City Hall (7928329).

Get your hands on homemade foaming soap With the school year in full swing and flu season upon us, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all into the â&#x20AC;&#x153; w a s h y o u r h a n d s o f t e n â&#x20AC;? mode. I thought it Rita be Heikenfeld would good to Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen share my recipe for homemade foaming soap.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually been around a while but is sure timely today. Plus by making your own foaming soap, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save money and be doing your part to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;green.â&#x20AC;? Let the kids help â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have fun, and be more apt to wash their little hands if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made their own soap.

Make your soap:

with less soap!

Foaming hand soap:

The trick is in the dispenser. You have to use one made for foaming hand soap. I get mine from the dollar store, and after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re empty I make my own as follows: Wash dispenser well. Rinse with clear vinegar. Rinse again and let drain. The vinegar helps kill any bacteria that may be in the container.

Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homemade foaming soap

The bonus? More suds

them at least several hours before serving; the second filling is more delicate and more creamy.

11â &#x201E;3 cups good quality water to 6 tablespoons or so of favorite liquid hand soap. Anti-bacterial or not â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you choose. I use a clear liquid soap and let the kids color it slightly with food coloring and add a few drops essential oil (available from health food stores) to it. Both the coloring and oil are optional. Use a whisk to mix gently. Let sit a few minutes to settle, then pour into your container. ViolĂ ! Your own foaming hand soap.

Fluffy cream puff filling:

This is also good in cream horns, Twinkie-like cakes, etc. Beat together: 1

â &#x201E;2 cup solid shortening like Crisco 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 â &#x201E;2 cup confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar Then beat in 1 cup Marshmallow Fluff

Jane and Carolynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cream puff filling:

Foaming dishwashing soap:

And while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, go ahead and make a batch of foaming dishwashing detergent. Again, use a dispenser specifically made for this. Follow instructions above for cleaning, etc. The proportions are a bit different: 11â &#x201E;3 cups good quality water to 6 to 8 tablespoons dishwashing liquid (start with 6, check to see how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working, and add more if needed), plus 2 tablespoons clear vinegar (optional) to cut the grease.

Jane Cervantes is known as the cake and truffle lady and Carolyn Grieme is a Northern Kentucky reader, known as the gingerbread house queen, and good friend. They both use this for their cream puffs. 11â &#x201E;2 cups cold milk 1 (3/4 ounce) package French vanilla pudding mix 1 cup whipped topping Confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar In a mixing bowl, beat milk and pudding mix on low speed for two minutes. Refrigerate for five minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Fill cream puffs just before serving; replace tops. Dust with confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar.

Cream puff fillings

0000358090

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had several requests for cream puffs/fillings for Oktoberfest parties, similar to what Servatiiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serves. Use your favorite cream puff recipe (I have one on the Web version of this column). Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a couple different fillings. The first filling holds up better, meaning you can fill the puffs and refrigerate

Tips from readers

From Mark A. regarding â&#x20AC;&#x153;parveâ&#x20AC;? products. Mark says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The definition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;parveâ&#x20AC;? (or â&#x20AC;&#x153;pareveâ&#x20AC;?) in your column was only half

right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pareve foods are prepared without meat, milk, or their derivatives and may therefore be eaten with both meat and dairy dishes according to the laws of kashrut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No dairy is correct, but no meat either. Meat can be sneaky; gelatin made from cattle hooves, for instance, is not pareve (probably not kosher either, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beside the point).â&#x20AC;?

Cake tips from Martha

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking a cake decorating class at Grant School in Clermont County. Martha Buckler is my teacher and she shared some valuable tips in last nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class: â&#x20AC;˘ Bake cakes and quickbreads at 325 degrees and not at 350 degrees as most recipes state. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to bake them longer but the lower temperature allows them to bake all the way through to the middle without sinking. Especially true for very large cakes. â&#x20AC;˘ To smooth white or pastel color frosting, dip spatula in warm water and smooth over cake. Smooth top first, then sides. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use on chocolate or deeply colored icing as this will leave streaks and spots. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author. E-mail her at columns@communitypress.com with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchenâ&#x20AC;? in the subject line. Or call 513-2487130, ext. 356. Visit Rita at www.Abouteating.com.

As a parent, the last thing I want, if something happens to me, is a bad situation where my children are surrounded by people they don’t know, who don’t have their best interest at heart or who are fighting over raising them. Consider how a celebrity like Michael Jackson left his children exposed to a fight among his family, the children’s nanny, the biological mother and perhaps others. The lesson is clear. You must name guardians for your minor children in the event of your death or incapacity. Failing to do so puts your children at risk. With the following steps you can assure your children will be provided and cared for as you want and intend. Secure your children’s financial future – Providing sufficient financial resources for your children’s care and upbringing if something happens to you is your responsibility. Whether it’s through life insurance, savings or some other means, take action to put a plan in place. To protect what your children will receive, establish a trust for any life insurance benefits and/or savings that your appointed guardians will use in raising your children. If your estate is large enough, plan the

trust to avoid estate taxes. Identify your child r e n ’ s guardian – David Believe it or most Lefton not, parents have Community not named a Press guest g u a r d i a n at least columnist and one alternate for their minor child(ren). Consider some of the following qualities to help you select a guardian: • available time; • physical and mental ability; • genuine concern for your children’s welfare; • a good relationship with your children; • agreement with your moral and religious beliefs; • financial resources; • geographic proximity to where your children now reside. Legally document your decisions – Parents too often agree upon a guardian for their children and even make their wishes known to their families, yet, they have not expressed their wishes in their estate planning documents. Not detailing your decisions in a legally binding

document means they may not be followed. You are potentially placing your children in a situation where every family member has equal priority of guardianship. This leaves the decision about the care of your children to the legal system and a judge who doesn’t know you or your kids. Legal documentation is particularly important if you want a friend to care for your children, as courts will almost always choose a family member over a friend. Don’t let the complexities of financial or guardianship decisions prevent you from completing your estate planning. An estate planning attorney who has worked with many families can use that experience to help you make decisions. An open discussion of your personal concerns with a lawyer who understands your financial and legal situation can assure your piece of mind – and your children’s future. David H. Lefton is an estate planning and probate attorney who lives in Symmes Township. He is a partner in the law firm of Barron, Peck, Bennie & Schlemmer on Oakley Square.

Spirit where? Here!

Touchdowns and tackles, passes and punts, field goals and fumbles all certainly make for a fun Friday night of high school football. But there’s a whole lot more going on to catch your eyes and ears. Just let the spirit, color and excitement of this season’s first couple of games at Sycamore’s Bud Acus Stadium bear witness to what it’s all about.

Ready for a new season are the Sycamore cheerleaders as they take a moment before game time for a photo op.

TERRENCE HUGE/ CONTRIBUTOR

Rat-a-tat-tat! So how many drums and drumsticks can you count here? No matter how many, the Sycamore marching band is playing loud and strong.

Sycamore drum major Neil Krishnan, a senior, stands high above the grandstand on a podium to direct the marching band during game action. “Super Heroes” was the evening’s theme and these front row ladies came dressed accordingly. Imploring their football team for a victory are seniors, from left: Whitney Collins, Jillian Malone, Adrian Amrine, Mary Robertson, Katelyn Fretwell and Hannah Kelp.

Rockin’ the house are these four seniors, from left: Elise Gelwicks, Jenna Samuelson, Josie McKinnon and Courtney Bernard cheering on their football Aves.

Clarinets, flutes, tubas and more, all in motion, make for a glorious halftime show from the Aviator marching band.

Go green young man! Sam Wocks dons green body paint to accent his cheering for the Aves. Naturally the Sycamore team colors are green and gold.

Always popular Sycamore mascot, “Mr. Aviator,” leads the student section as they cheer the team on.

Cause for concern. The game is winding down and the Aviators need a lastminute score. These young boys concentrate on a victory, though the team would fall just short in losing to Springboro, 17-10.

BED AND BREAKFAST

The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast

FLORIDA

The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.

Bed & Breakfast

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
