Montgomery's project for the intersection at Montgomery and Pfeiffer roads will add a left-turn lane off Pfeiffer and a right-turn only lane into Bethesda North Hospital off Montgomery. Officials hope it will alleviate some of the high-traffic congestion. LEAH FIGHTMASTER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Open house shows plans for Montgomery/ Pfeiffer changes

Project a bookend to Interstate 71 work By Leah Fightmaster lfightmaster@communitypress.com

Montgomery is looking ahead to next year’s construction project that will help move traffic through the Montgomery and Pfeiffer roads intersection better. The city hosted an open house Nov. 18 at Terwilliger Lodge, 10530 Deerfield Road, to set up preliminary plans of the project for residents to see and ask questions. Although only about eight people attended, the city has shared the project’s plans with residents already, said Brian Riblet, public works director for Montgomery. The project, through the Ohio Department of Transportation, involves creating two adjacent left-turn lanes off Pfeiffer Road onto Montgomery Road, then adding a rightonly turn lane into Bethesda North Hospital, just north of the intersection. Riblet added that sidewalks on the east side of Montgomery from Radabaugh Drive to Bethesda will also be built. Riblet said there’s “been very little fanfare” regarding the project, because the city and ODOT have been discussing it since about 2010. He added that there’s been several meetings and information sent out, so he feels that residents are well informed about the project. This project, Riblet said, mirrors one at Pfeiffer Road and Interstate 71, which creates double turn lanes at the

Philip Beck is new project executive for The Banks, replacing John Deatrick, who vacated the post earlier this year to lead the Cincinnati streetcar project. Beck’s first day in the position was Nov. 1. Beck will coordinate is responsible for Beck coordinating the multiple projects associated with the riverfront residential-and-retail development on behalf of the city and Hamilton County. The Banks is envisioned to be Cincinnati’s largest single mixed-use development – and aims to be home to 3,000 residents when it is complete. Beck, a Symmes Township trustee and chief executive of Beck Infrastructure LLC, has worked on projects such as Great American Ball Park, Smale Riverfront Park and the See BANKS, Page A2

highway and adds a lane from I-71 to I-275. In both cases, he added, it’s about trying to move traffic more efficiently through those areas. “It’s the book-end companion piece to the other,” he said. A document for the project from the city said about 17,000 vehicles go through the intersection on an average day. The project, which is administered through ODOT, is also part of Montgomery’s capital improvement plan for 2014. Riblet said the project preliminary cost is estimated at about $450,000 total. About $360,000 of that is being funded with a federal grant through the OhioKentucky-Indiana Regional

Council of Governments, or OKI, and the remaining $90,000 will come from the city, he said. If a company is chosen on time next summer for the project, Riblet said it should start in the fall of 2014, but could start as late as spring of 2015. Regardless, he added, the project is scheduled to be finished by June 30, 2015. Riblet said that the project is “pretty straightforward,” and doesn’t expect many problems getting it finished. “Pfeiffer (Road) is a main thoroughfare for people to travel,” he said. “We’re trying to move as many vehicles as we can in the most efficient man-

ner.” Montgomery Police Sgt. Mike Plaatje said that not only do a lot of vehicles go through the intersection on a normal day, but it also becomes a second-choice route for drivers when there’s an accident on I-71 or I-275, adding to the already high volume. He added that there aren’t a large number of wrecks at the intersection, but there’s a need to get more vehicles through green lights to minimize traffic backup.

The project’s next phase includes building a nine-story, mixed-use building near the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. A few months ago, officials from The Banks said construction could start on the project’s second phase by the end of the year, but now Construction is expected to begin early next year. The Banks’ development team formally announced the completion of project’s first phase in October. The first phase of The Banks was completed in October. That

In 2007, Atlanta-based private developers Carter & Associates LLC and the Dawson Co., both based in Atlanta, were picked in a joint venture to lead the master development of The Banks. “Phil has great experience that will help move The Banks forward,” said Scott Stringer, executive vice president at Atlantabased Carter & Associates LLC, the project developer. “We look forward to continuing to work with him to make The Banks a success.”

many are looking for money to buy alcohol and drugs, and deputies have offered to take them to the Drop Inn Center downtown, but were refused. Not only is it a safety hazard for panhandlers standing on the medians so close to traffic, but it’s a danger for drivers as well, he said.

Board of Trustees President Tom Weidman said they were likely taking advantage of the high traffic there with people driving to Kenwood Towne Centre. Want to know what’s going on in Sycamore Township? Follow Leah Fightmaster on Twitter: @LCFightmaster.

“The Montgomery Arts Commission has begun a strategic planning measure to insure that our efforts align with the city’s 2011Strategic Plan,” Montgomery Arts Commission Chair Nancy Nolan said. “This survey is a result of our brainstorming ways to improve our service delivery while maintaining the core values we established for our Commission. We believe it is important that the residents be given the opportunity to help us define our work going forward.” The Montgomery Arts Commission established the following as their core values, which include: » to contribute to the quality of life in Montgomery; » to offer high quality cultural arts offerings; » to offer a diversity of cultural opportunities to a diverse audience; » to offer programs that are financially sustainable; and » to support and foster the arts and artists in Montgomery. The survey will be available on the city’s web site until Jan. 31. You can find it at montgomeryohio.org. You can also get a printed copy of the survey at the front desk at Montgomery City Hall, 10101 Montgomery Road. The survey is brief and will take only 10 minutes or so to complete. Everyone who completes the survey, and provides a name and contact information, will be entered in a drawing for two prizes: a $100 gift certificate to Montgomery Inn and a 20-visit pass to the Montgomery Pool. For more information, please contact Julie Machon, Arts Commission staff liaison, at City Hall at 891-2424.

IHHS teacher uses business background By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com

Indian Hill High School teacher Brad Kirk frequently taps into a marketing background for his lessons. For 30 years he traveled the country as part of his job in consumer marketing. This summer he also built on his educational skills by obtaining a second masters degree, in educational administration. Finding himself frequently on the road in a position that involved traveling to 35 different countries, Kirk said he wanted

to be around his children more often. “I always wanted to teach,” said Kirk, who is a resident of IndiKirk an Hill. When an opportunity to work at the same school his children attend presented itself he took advantage of it. Kirk, 56, teaches Advanced Placement World History and a course called “Global Cultures and Issues” and is in his fourth

year at the school. He said his travels to countries such as Germany, Canada and Mexico have provided anecdotes he can share with his students. “I loved working with kids (as a) camp counselor,” he said, adding that his position as a teacher gave him an additional opportunity to work with youth. Kirk said he believes life should be about learning. “(This) has helped me think like an administrator which is important as we implement new state-mandated (standards),” he said.

More than 100 boys at Sycamore Junior High School celebrate REDO DAY. PROVIDED

Sycamore students celebrate respect REDO Day (Respect Everyone Despite Odds) at Sycamore Junior High School was a challenge day. It was a time and a place where a diverse group of students came together, both male and female, to discuss some difficult, yet important, issues. These issues included things like, race, bullying, stereotypes, motivation, what it means to be a successful man or woman, and self-esteem, among others. The day started with a series of ice breakers which allowed students, teachers, and community volunteers to build rapport with one another as well as allow students the opportunity to build trust in or-

der to break down potential barriers. The second half of the day was the meat of REDO day, for it was here where students were given opportunities to apologize for bullying their classmates. Students were asked the hard questions about their lives, values, and beliefs, and it was in this moment where students and the facilitators broke into smaller groups to discuss some important social topics and current events in greater detail. REDO day had a tremendous positive impact on students and facilitators, who were comprised of teachers, community members and administrators.

Age is only a number: Sycamore-area senior citizens go back to school

n Dec. 20, Sycamore Junior High School, 575 Cooper Road, will host Adopt-A-Senior, a student-run event during which local senior citizens visit with junior high students, district staff and administrators. “Sycamore Junior High is proud to host our annual Adopta-Senior Day again this year,” said Brian Wallace, principal. “A junior high tradition for nearly 35 years, it provides many rewards and benefits to our staff, students and senior community members alike.” Adopt-A-Senior will begin at 10 a.m. with seniors and stu-

dents sharing stories over breakfast. Following breakfast, visitors will be entertained with school tours, card games, crafts and a magic show by Tom Bemmes, math teacher. At 12:30 p.m., students will serve turkey and trimmings to seniors in the school cafeteria and at 1:15 p.m. the seniors enjoy a choir performance. The cross-generational gathering will end at 2:30 p.m. More than 50 students will help execute the day’s events, under the guidance of two junior high teachers, Dana Darbyshire and Kathy Nagel. “Mrs. Nagel and Mrs. Dar-

byshire make this a fun, memorable experience for everyone,” Wallace said. “For seniors who do not otherwise have a connection to Sycamore, this is an excellent opportunity to share with them what we have to offer. “But it’s more than just an invitation to spend time at Sycamore,” he said. “This is an opportunity for our students to enjoy and gain valuable perspective from people with life experience. It is truly about bridging multiple generations and proving that when it comes to community, age is only a number.”

The cast and crew worked on the show starting this summer.

“These students gave their all to capture the emotion of the characters in the script, but also added their unique touch to the production,” said Nate Puke, codirector. Over the past seven years, MND Theatre has been nominated for Cappies awards more than 60 times and has won more than 17 awards. “We are proud to house such an incredible, award-winning theater program at MND. 'Bye Bye Birdie' showcased the level of talent and dedication these students possess,” said Larry

Mock, MND’s head of school. MND Theatre presents two musicals and two dramatic plays during each school year. The group also presents a summer production every year that is open to all area high schools (both public and private). In addition to productions, MND Theatre students have the opportunity to teach summer theater camps to local gradeschool students. Their spring production will be “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged).”

Crusaders return several pin crashers

By Scott Springer and Mark Motz sspringer@communitypress.com mmotz@communitypress.com

SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP — The lanes are oiled and matches are under way for Greater Cincinnati high school bowling teams. The following is a rundown of teams in the Northeast Suburban Life coverage area.

Sycamore

The Aviator boys squad returns senior Joseph Morris, a second team Greater Miami Conference selection last year. Morris at presstime was averaging close to 188. with fellow senior Chad Estill averaging 183. Freshman Nathan Estill is at 171 with seniors Adam Merk, Ryan Fee and John McLaughlin falling in between 156-160. The Lady Aves are looking for their first win since 2012. Senior Allison Rolfes leads with a 144 average, followed by the Grzegorzewski sisters who hover between 114-122. Senior Lydia Sloan and junior Ellyn Willis complete the lineup. Both Sycamore squads return to action after the first of the year on Jan. 8 at Middletown.

Moeller

The Crusaders have had four straight winning seasons, but would like to improve on their fourth place finish in the Greater Catholic League-South 12-9 (8-6 league). Eleventh-year coach Bob Orr returns four starters including senior GCL South second team selection Phillip Cleves. Along with senior Cleves, seniors Steven Snyder and Grant Godbey and junior TJ Snyder are back. Senior Tony Platz is expected to join the line-up. “We have a very compatible team that should really each other on,” Orr said. “They’re very experienced and mature with each capable of averaging 200-plus. It’s basically the same team that took second in our sectional with Phil (Cleves) rolling a 297/688 series and Grant (Godbey) a 266/623.” Upcoming is a Moeller Alumni Fundraiser at Crossgate Lanes on Dec. 22. The Cru-

saders get their roll back on Jan. 3-4 at the Louisville vs. Cincinnati Challenge in Louisville. “Most of the boys have worked hard over the summer to hone their skills and be ready for the season,” Orr said.

Mount Notre Dame

The Cougars are looking to better last year’s 7-16 mark (312 in the old GGCL-Scarlet) under second-year coach Mollie Holtman. Among those back for MND are juniors Sam Dunbar and Emily Webb who made allleague honorable mention as sophomores. Also returning are starting sophomores Kay Rothermund, Ashley Foulks, Sabrina Dunbar and Rachel Tenley. Olivia Kettler and Emma Benson are also on the Cougars squad. “We are still a young team with no seniors however, the motivation and heart these girls have will get us far in the years to come,” Holtman said. MND’s next match is at Northwest Dec. 19. They return home to Crossgate Lanes in Blue Ash on Jan. 7.

Ursuline Academy

The Lions are young – no seniors on the roster – but head coach Rob Meirose returns four juniors with experience to lead what he hopes will be a competitive team. Junior Emma Darlington leads the squad with a 176 average to date, while classmate Christina Hallmann isn’t far behind, typically rolling in the high 150s or low 160s. Emily Low and Cierra Carafice bring additional skill and experience. “I have to remind myself this is only their second year bowling,” Meirose said. “They’ve assumed the leadership, but there’s still a lot for them to learn and improve. They’re making very good progress.” Ursuline also has a firstyear junior (Kari Fletcher) and three freshmen (Makayla Hufziger, Isabel Baumgartner and Brittany Leyda) out to fill the roster. “They’re all brand new and they all have kind of the same skills,” Meirose said. Like many coaches in the area, he is concerned about the decreasing numbers of girls in bowling.

Head coach Steve Conners has a club on the rise. “We scored 115 at the district meet last year, which was our highest in about five years,” Conners said. “Our ultimate goal is to hit the120 mark, which would put us right in the middle of the pack at the district meet.” Senior Kelsey Bardach serves as team leader; she specializes in the uneven bars and the vault. Returning juniors include Kaitlin Harden, Gusty Pohlman and Jennifer Gonzales, all of whom compete in the allaround. Conners said Harden is the hardest worker, while Pohlman brings a dance background

and Gonzales is a former club gymnast. A trio of sophomores in the all-around – Margaret Hodson, Addie El and Kendall Smith – round out the roster. “We have a group that’s mostly pure high school girls, meaning we don’t have the yearround club gymnasts,” Conners said. “The nice thing about having girls who aren’t in club is that instant gratification. You really see the progress in skills on an everyday basis and that’s encouraging as a coach and for the girls themselves.”

Sycamore

Junior Molly Gearin is again Sycamore’s lone gymnast who trains with Cincinnati Country Day coach Steven Conner. “She’s an all-arounder,” Conner said. “She’ll compete in four events, but she really specializes in floor and beam.” Club gymnastics is one reason some schools only have one or a few “official” competitors.

Gearin’s best shot at getting to the state meet appears to be in the floor exercise. “This year she’s come in with a better under-

standing and her technique’s getting better,” Conner said. Gearin’s situation in attending Sycamore and competing with another school is actually becoming common in gymnastics. Gearin will be competing with the CCD girls in the Turpin Snowflake Invitational Dec. 18.

Deregulation as an economic stimulus Howard Ain’s assessment of customer’s confusion about the deregulated marketplace of traditional utility service is accurate. However, a strategy that Mr. Ain did not address but truly does benefit residents and small businesses is for communities to adopt a governmental aggregation program. While an aggregation strategy may not eliminate all the harassment that takes place, residents are assured that the community has negotiated the price as well as the terms and conditions of service with a single alternative supplier. Local communities including the villages of Addyston and Cleves, the City of Cheviot and Green Township have imple-

mented aggregation programs for the benefit of their residents. The elected officials should be commended Donald for taking the Marshall initiative to COMMUNITY PRESS implement GUEST COLUMNIST aggregation for the benefit of residents and small businesses. While many believe government should not be involved in such services, unfortunately state law is written in such a manner that local government must be involved so that the benefits of aggregation inure to residents.

Aggregation results in lower rates since alternative suppliers assume a greater percentage of the populous will enroll resulting in greater load diversity that leads to lower rates. Aggregation programs allow all residents to benefit and receive the same price and terms of service but residents retain the choice to opt-out of the program. Eagle Energy endorses aggregation programs and would encourage more communities to adopt these programs for the benefit of residents. Eagle Energy administers the aggregation program of 11 communities and through September the residents of those communities have realized $3 million in

lower utility rates. Aggregation programs are implemented without cost to residents meaning the realized savings translates into a $4 to $5 million local economic stimulus. Mr. Ain also mentions the PUCO website when comparing rates. The PUCO ignores the sales tax component of natural gas rates. Customers should make sure they are making a valid natural gas comparison when evaluating natural gas rates by including the 6.75 percent sales tax impact on any natural gas offer. Often alternative suppliers ignore this tax when quoting prices. Sales tax does not apply to electric rates. As a final note, the PUCO

has issued revised rules for comment dealing with the manner alternative suppliers must abide by in the solicitation of customers and related matters. Eagle Energy in its comments suggested door-to-door solicitation be prohibited especially in communities that have adopted a governmental aggregation program. Eagle Energy also suggested in its comments that additional clarity be mandated when a utility and its marketing affiliate operate in the same serving area; e.g., Duke Energy and Duke Energy Retail Sales.

Home for holidays a goal for terminally ill

The holidays are a time of family, friends, traditions and gratitude. When a loved one has a terminal illness, the season can also mean added stress, fatigue, and financial burdens. Most families would not want to spend the holiday season in and out of an emergency room, yet nearly one in five Medicare beneficiaries is readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of release. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, this translates to $17.4 billion in Medicare spending on patients whose return trips could have been avoided. Avoidable hospital readmissions among Medicare beneficiaries has become a top priority for both policymakers and

the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as hospitals feel added pressure to help patients remain at home. The Cindee CMS has taken tresslar COMMUNITY PRESS on several initiatives to GUEST COLUMNIST reduce readmissions from penalizing hospitals with high readmission rates to implementing shared savings programs in an effort to increase care coordination among providers. There are some return trips to the hospital that are unavoidable due to complications, new and unrelated prob-

CH@TROOM Dec. 11 question Do you think Ohio legislators should approve a bill to allow back-to-school shoppers to buy certain items free of state and local sales taxes? Why or why not?

“This is essentially a sales tax reduction. If we really do not need to collect so much money from the sales tax why not just reduce the tax? “This is political smoke and mirrors designed to make the people sponsoring the bill look good at very little cost. It is a sham that will create a lot of game playing and fraud on the days when there is no tax, politics at its worst.”

F.S.D.

“No - why single out this particular group for tax-free status? And how would you even determine what is a school-related expense? “What I would support: seasonal tax-free shopping weeks, such as New York City offers either a total moratorium on all sales tax for that period or no tax on a specific item such as clothing, cars, furniture, etc. This could be a huge boost to the economy.”

J.S.B.

“Now that is not a bad idea. Teachers already have sales tax exempt status for supplies, why not students and families for their learning materials?”

count for more than 50 percent of the health care costs. Increasingly, hospitals are forming collaborative partnerships with palliative care and hospice providers to combat avoidable readmissions. For terminally ill patients, hospice is one resource available to help patients remain home for the holidays. Hospice and palliative care providers work closely with patients and families to identify care preferences, manage symptoms, and address clinical, emotional and spiritual needs through a team approach. This type of care allows patients to pick up the phone in a time of crisis and receive medications at home. During the holidays, families can spend more time

creating memories and sharing traditions instead of making emergency room trips. Integrating palliative care services early, and making timely and appropriate hospice referrals can not only improve patient experiences, but address some of the most important issues faced by hospitals today: quality improvement, increasing coordination, preventing complications, reducing costs – and ultimately, return trips to the hospital in a patient’s final stages of life when the comforts of home and quality time with family are most important.

lems, or anticipated steps of certain treatment plans. Some patients are also readmitted because they live in a region where hospitals are used more frequently as a place of care for illnesses. Regardless of where patients reside, education and support are key factors in preventing readmissions. Too often, a rushed discharged process and a lack of necessary follow up care leaves discharged patients unable to follow instructions about a new diagnoses or new medication. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality reported that while patients with one or more chronic conditions represent just five percent of the patient population, they ac-

If summoned for jury duty, you are assigned either to a regular jury or a grand jury. On regular (also called “petit”) jury duty you could be selected for a criminal or civil case. In a grand jury, however, a group of citizens hears only criminal cases and decides if someone will have to face trial for a felony offense. A felony is a crime that is punishable by at least one year in prison. In Hamilton County, the grand jury meets in the prosecutor’s office, not at the courthouse. The grand jury listens to testimony and examines evidence presented only by the prosecution before deciding whether to return an indictment. An indictment is merely a formal charge; it still must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt at trial before a defendant can be convicted. When the prosecutor presents a case, only the testifying witness and the grand jurors are in the room. After the last witness testifies, the prosecutor and witness exit the room so the jurors can deliberate and vote. Defendants may request to testify, but rarely do so. Nine grand jurors vote on each case and each charge. Before voting to indict, the grand jurors must find probable cause that: 1, a crime was committed, and 2, that the accused committed the crime. At least seven of the

nine grand jurors must agree that there is sufficient evidence to return an indictment. A common Brad phrase sugGreenberg gests that a COMMUNITY PRESS prosecutor GUEST COLUMNIST can convince a grand jury to indict a “ham sandwich” because of the process’s onesided nature. My prior experience as a prosecutor makes me disagree. Although a few prosecutors may abuse the system, most prosecutors have no interest in purposely indicting cases that would be hard to try. Moreover, I have observed that grand jurors, like regular jurors, are independent, serious about their duties, and not easily persuaded to indict an obviously weak case.

A unique and important aspect of grand jury service is the oath of secrecy. The oath of secrecy covers the entire grand jury proceeding and is permanent. A regular juror may discuss a case publicly after a verdict is announced in open court, but a grand juror must keep the proceedings secret forever unless ordered otherwise by a judge. Both grand jury and regular jury service last for two weeks in Hamilton County. If selected for grand jury, you will hear approximately 50 cases each week. In comparison, most regular jurors sit on only one or two cases at most. Perhaps its unique process makes most people who have served on both regular and grand juries prefer grand jury service. Judge Brad Greenberg is a judge in Hamilton County Municipal Court. He lives in Loveland.

UC Blue Ash professor writes book about the Ukraine A new book by University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College professor Guennadi Maslov celebrates the Ukraine through beautiful photography and inspirational poetry. “Ukrainian Time: One Hundred Findings in the Borderland” encompasses the past 30 years in the Ukraine, which is in Eastern Europe and borders Russia. The book uses amazing photography and local poems to follow the trends and currents of the rapidly changing, and sometimes surprisingly conservative national character. It is available through Amazon.com. Maslov, who teaches photography in the electronic media program at UC Blue Ash, was born in the Ukraine and continues to be fascinated by his native country and its people. “Life never stops for the 45 million energetic, resourceful

and lyrical people who call themselves Ukrainians,” he said. “The 100 photographs in this book endeavor to trace the lives and emoMaslov tions of ordinary people, to illustrate the inner struggle and beauty of individuals living through a most dramatic time in their country’s history; the transition from one social order to another.” Maslov will be conducting presentations, lectures and book signings in the United States and the Ukraine this year, and his new work will be on display at the Xavier University gallery in February. In addition, there is currently a retrospective exhibit of his photography on display in Mykolaiv, Ukraine.

Maslov is a renowned photographer who has made a real impact on the eMedia program at UC Blue Ash. “Since joining our faculty in 2001, Guennadi has been both a passionate teacher and an important engineer of culture exchange,” said H. Michael Sanders, professor of electronic media and department chair. “Through his widely exhibited photography, and his organization of exchange opportunities between Ukrainian educators and faculty in eMedia communications, he has helped create a much more international view of contemporary photographic arts for our students.” For more information about the presentation or the Electronic Media Program at UC Blue Ash, visit www.ucblueash.edu/emedia/ or call 513745-5717.

Rita shares latest clone of peppermint bark I wrestled with myself about sharing, once again, my latest clone of Williams-Sonoma peppermint bark. After all, my recipe last year was excellent, and the difference this year is that I used Rita premium Heikenfeld bar chocoRITA’S KITCHEN lates only and tweaked the recipe a tiny bit. Well, I’ve been getting lots of requests for this special bark already, so I’m taking creative license and sharing what I now call my latest and greatest. And, I might add, my very last recipe for this treat! However you celebrate, I hope each of you has the best holiday season. Remember, the best things in life aren’t “things.”

Rita’s ultimate clone of Williams-Sonoma peppermint bark 2013 Use the best quality chocolates and candy (no imitation peppermint in extract or candy) to make it as close to WilliamsSonoma as possible. As mentioned, I used the highest quality bar chocolates, which I chopped. Whether you use bars or morsels, read labels. The semi-sweet chocolate should be real chocolate, not chocolate-flavored. The first two ingredients in white chocolate

should be sugar and cocoa butter. No palm, palm kernel or coconut oil if you want it to be like Williams-Sonoma. These oils may be a culprit for layers sometimes not bonding, resulting in separation. That doesn’t mean you can’t make wonderful bark with whatever chocolate fits your budget. I also have more bark recipes on my blog, a singlelayer one for kids and a three-layer one. Prep pan: Line a cookie sheet with one piece of foil, about 10 inches by 12 inches. Or do the same in a 9-inch by 13-inch pan. First layer:

For Celia, a Delhi Township reader, who wants to make this alongside her holiday ham. “I had the recipe for years and misplaced it. Sometimes we added shrimp to it,” too, she said. Go to taste on ingredients. Salad: Mix together: 8 oz Mueller’s Small Elbow Macaroni, cooked and cooled 1 ⁄4 to 1⁄3 cup onion, diced 2 ribs celery, diced 1 small bell pepper, diced

Dressing: Combine and pour over cooled pasta. You may not need all of it, so add half, taste, and add more if you like.

2 cups (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate, divided into 11⁄4 and 3⁄4 cup measures 1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Use a double boiler if you have one, or put 11⁄4 cups chocolate in heatproof bowl. Set over saucepan that has 1 inch of steaming water, making sure bowl does not touch water. (This is a makeshift double boiler). Heat should be turned to low so no steam/water escapes into chocolate, which can turn it grainy. Stir until chocolate is almost melted but still has a few lumps, then remove bowl and stir in remaining chocolate until smooth. Stir in extract and pour onto foil, spreading evenly. Let set at room temperature or in refrigerator until hard. Second layer:

2 tablespoons prepared mustard 2 teaspoons sugar 1 ⁄4 cup cider vinegar or more to taste 11⁄2 cups mayonnaise

Chill before serving. To add shrimp: Add 1⁄2 pound cooked small shrimp to salad.

Can you help?

Rita’s latest clone of Williams-Sonoma peppermint bark uses high quality chocolate.THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD.

23⁄4 cups white chocolate, divided into 21⁄4 and 1⁄2 cup measures 1 ⁄2 teaspoon peppermint extract 1 ⁄4 to 1⁄3 cup crushed peppermint candy, sieved to remove tiny particles

Put 21⁄4 cups white chocolate in clean bowl and repeat process for melting, stirring in re-

maining chocolate after removing bowl. Stir in extract. Let cool a bit. Pour over chocolate layer and spread. Finishing with candy: Sprinkle candy and gently press into chocolate. Let set at room temperature or in refrigerator until hard. Peel bark off foil and break or cut into pieces. If it’s been in

the refrigerator, let it sit out a bit so it’s easy to break or cut. Store in refrigerator. Note: If you melt chocolates in microwave, check frequently as they can turn grainy and burn easily.

Know what insurance policy says A lot of us have life insurance policies, but may not be aware of all the provisions in the policy. One area woman said not knowing about a provision in her husband’s policy has cost her a lot of money. Kathy Thompson of Bridgetown said she’s upset with the life insurance company and herself for not realizing a key money-saving provision was in the policy. Thompson said of her husband, “He became disabled about two and a half years ago and who thinks of looking at your insurance policy. Recently, the insurance company called and they wanted to sell us more insurance.” The life insurance policy is a small one, just $9,000, and is one of several her husband bought. What she didn’t remember, until the agent reminded her, was the policy contains a disability waiver. she said the agent told her, “You have a disclaimer on your policy where if he’s disabled we’ll pay his premiums. I said, ‘Really?’” Thompson said the

problem was, even after examining that policy, the waiver wasn’t very clear. Howard “There’s Ain different HEY HOWARD! columns and they’ve got suicide exclusions. They’ve got all these titles over here but there’s nothing about disability. You have to really, really look for it,” she said. The Thompsons pay more than $14 each year for the disability waiver. But, I noticed even on the policy itself it just said disability waiver. As a result, Thompson has paid the yearly premium for more than two years since her husband became disabled. The insurance agent told her, unfortunately, she can only get back the premium for one of those years. Thompson then called the insurance company itself and spoke with a manager who told her company policy is to reimburse

for only one year. “She said, ‘There are people that have had a policy with us for 30 years and have been disabled and they have that waiver and they don’t know about it. We still only give them back one year.’” Thompson said she thinks that’s a terrible policy and wants to alert others. The disability waiver is not automatic in most life insurance policies, it’s a separate provision you can buy. So, you may want to check to see if you have that waiver in your policy. Thompson said she learned a valuable lesson to get a copy of that provision in writing. Not only will it help you remember you have that protection, but it will also explain exactly what’s required before the insurance company considers someone to be disabled so the disability waiver will apply.

communication, and community-building, and promises a significant contribution and community impact. John F. Barrett, Western & Southern’s chairman, president, and chief executive officer, noted Ruehlmann’s long years of service as a member of Western & Southern’s board of directors. “Gene was elected to our board in 1968 and provided our company with sharp insight and counsel faithfully for over 45 years. He was known for his high ethical standards, hard work and bringing people together. The Urban League honored him in 1970 for his work on poverty, housing and improving race relations with a special award for Outstanding Achievement in Public Service. In 1998 he was named a Great Living Cincinnatian by the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber.” Union Institute & University President Roger

H. Sublett, Ph.D., had a long friendship with Ruehlmann, beginning when they both began to serve the university in 2001. “All of us at Union are deeply touched by Western & Southern’s generosity in Gene’s name. Gene and his wife, Virginia, were quiet but formative leaders in Cincinnati for decades. Gene’s contributions, including his work with Riverfront Stadium, and the Reds and Bengals, are legendary. His most lasting legacy, however, may be his work to build community and heal a broken city after devastating riots in the late 1960s. It is Gene’s lifetime of public service and his service leadership that we encourage all our students at Union Institute & University to emulate. We are most grateful for John Barrett’s vision in funding this Fellowship and look forward to the community service and leadership the Ruehlmann Fellows will provide in the coming years.” Ginny Ruehlmann Wiltse and Mark Ruehlmann, two of Mayor Ruehlmann’s eight children, spoke on behalf of their family, “He would be so pleased to see this program inaugurated at Union Institute & University and so grateful for Western & Southern’s financial support.”

Group donates $105K to Ronald McDonald House Pep, a Cincinnati based project management agency for marketing promotions, recently raised $105,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Cincinnati (RMHC) through its third annual Charity Golf Outing at Ivy Hills Country Club. Pep has organized employee volunteer opportunities through Cincinnati’s Ronald McDonald House for years and in 2011 made a plan to increase its giving. Through the first Pep Charity Golf Outing in 2011Pep raised $30,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities, and in 2012 sur-

passed that goal raising $100,000. “It has been a blessing to work with the Ronald McDonald House over the years, and we look forward to continuing to be a part of their family” said Tim Drost, director of supplier partnerships, who serves as the golf outing chairman. “We had another fantastic golf outing supporting The House with our $105,000 raised this year. We know our contribution helps a great organization, but most importantly, it helps the children and families we have had the pleasure of meeting over the years.”
