There’s a host of hostas scattered through Ted DeMatteo’s Linsan Drive garden. Deep green ones with blue undertones. Small dainty ones, large almost lumbering ones. Exotic stained glass hostas and cool Veronica Lake varieties crowd the beds, testifying to the White Oak man’s love of the garden. DeMatteo says he got hooked on gardening in the second grade. A marigold in a Dixie cup eventually germinated into a love of gardening that drives the layout of DeMatteo’s suburban yard. He estimates he has 200 varieties of hostas in his garden, where he tries to do a little work almost every day. “I get out three or four days a week,” he said. “It really is relaxing.” His home is one of five on the Monfort Heights/White Oak Community Association’s 12th annual Summer Garden Tour that gives you the chance to look around at the private gardens featuring a wide variety of plants, an outdoor lanai, hillside waterfalls, container gardens, vegetable gardens and lots more. The tour will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 19. Tickets are $8 in advance at the White Oak Garden Center, Mattfeld Florists and Greenhouses or at the Monfort Heights branch of the Cheviot Savings Bank. Tickets for $10 will be sold at any of these garden locations on the day of the tour. Your ticket entitles you to visit all five of the gardens on the tour, receive bottled water, refreshments and a price-off coupon at White Oak Garden Center. It also entitles you to $1 off a glass of menu wine at Piazza Discepoli in the White Oak Shopping Center on the day of the tour. There is also a plant sale at the 5000 Mallard Crossing location on the tour, where annuals, perennials and hanging baskets may be purchased. The sale will also feature local artists’ yard art for sale. Sandy McCann, the chairwoman

Colerain Twp. to discuss fire levy renewal By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com

The Colerain Township Board of Trustees will discuss a fire levy renewal at a special work session for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 22, in the Trustee Chambers at the Colerain Township Government Complex, 4200 Springdale Road. In the state of the township address at the June 8 board meeting, Fire Chief Bruce Smith said township voters passed a 4.34 mill five-year levy in 2005 that expires at the end of this year. “The levy generates about 40 to 41 percent of our operating income,” he said. “When this levy expires on Dec. 31, we will

House Bill 48, which becomes effective July 2, changed the filing deadline for levy resolutions from a township board of trustees

from 75 days before the election to 90 days before the election. That moves the deadline for a resolution for the November ballot to Aug. 4. Attorney James Reuter said the board has pass two resolutions to place an issue on the ballot. One is a preliminary resolution asking the auditor to calculate millage based on the township’s total real property valuation. The auditor is to respond within 10 days, and only after receiv-

ing the auditor’s response can the board pass its final resolution. Because of the Colerain Township summer meeting schedule, there are only two regularly scheduled meetings between now and the Aug. 4 deadline. Reuter recommended building breathing room into the process to allow for delays so any problems may be addressed and would not impact the township going forward. The board agreed and set the special meeting. “You don’t want to take chances with this,” Reuter said. “If it gets messed up, you are looking at layoffs, cuts and reductions in service.”

SELLERFINANCINGINABUYER’SMARKET

When home sales are slow, sellers look for creative ways to attract buyers. One way to entice buyers is to offer sellerfinancing. Because our economy is experiencing a credit crunch, it is harder for home buyers to get a loan these days. So sellerfinancing can be very attractive to buyers and they are often willing to pay more for a seller-financed home. The seller must own their home outright in order to self finance, and also be willing to get their money back over time. When you consider that you will receive guaranteed monthly income at whatever interest rate you agree upon with the buyer, it ends up bringing in more than most stocks can earn in the long run. You can also defer the capital gains tax, which is a real advantage for sellers. The main risk to the seller is if the buyer can’t make the monthly payments. In that case, the seller can reclaim the house and sell it again. But the seller should verify the buyer’s credit income, credit history and job stability before issuing the loan. Be sure to consult a financial professional about sellerfinancing your home. Mark Schupp has been a Real Estate Agent for the past 29 years and is a Certified Residential Specialist.

Harness is Mount Healthy alumna of year

By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com

Patti Rogers Harness, class of 1970, was selected as 2010 Alumna of the year by the Mount Healthy High School Alumni Association. “I was surprised,” she said. “They kept the nomination a secret. I am very honored, but I think there are so many other volunteers, it’s hard to accept being honored for what I do.” Harness Harness said she has always loved the name of the city. “I want to help our district live up to that name,” she said. Harness is a tireless supporter of Mount Healthy City Schools, as well as the community of Mount Healthy. It’s a family affair: Patti, her husband Steve and two sons are all graduates of the school district. Patti graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a major in elementary education and taught third and fourth grade at her old school, Duvall Elementary, before leaving to raise her two sons. When she quit teaching, she took up volunteering. She has supported the schools through her involvement in PTA/PAC, band boosters, room mother, student mentor and as a fundraiser. But the band had her heart. “I think band programs are very important for the success of a school district,” she said. She developed the business sponsorship program and was responsible for collecting donations of more than $40,000. The sponsorship program included Mount Healthy businesses and outlying corporations to help purchase equipment, instruments and new uniforms for the high school band program. Since its inception, she has helped the Mount Healthy Alumni Band coordinate and perform its

Nudist colony won’t have trial covered up Gannett News Service A group of Colerain Township nudists will have to bare all after all. On June 2, Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Pat DeWine rejected a request previously filed by Paradise Gardens to close a trial to the public and seal all records in the civil lawsuit filed against the nudist colony. An attorney for Paradise Gardens suggested those who own and participate in the nudist club would be discriminated against by their employers if their identities were known. The request came even though all of the owners’ names have been listed on

the suit – a public document – since it was filed last year. The nudist colony was sued last year by the estate of one of its founding members, Geraldine Gruenwald. With her husband, she bought one of the original 10 shares of the property in 1983. In 2007, the Paradise shareholders agree to sell the 17.24 acres, valued at $340,500 by the Hamilton County Auditor, for $1.3 million to Don Carver. They also agreed to disburse that money equally to the 10 shareholders. In November 2008, the Paradise shareholders notified the estate of Gruenwald – she died March 23, 2008 – it wanted to “redeem” her stock certificate in Paradise for $3,500, the original price paid for each of the original 10 shares. The suit Gruenwald’s estate filed accuses Paradise of making false representations that the estate had to sell her stock for $3,500 when its leaders knew her share was worth more than $100,000. The trial was set to begin June 14.

The move made sense. So Dan Wallace, who has been named the new head girls basketball coach at Colerain High School, made it. Wallace lives in Colerain Township and is familiar with the Northwest Local School District, having graduated from Northwest in 2001. But that’s not all. “Colerain has built a really good program,” he said.

Success certainly helps. Over the last two years, the Lady Cardinals went 35-10 under the guidance of Christi Mack, who resigned in March to spend more time with her family. Colerain came within one game of a Greater Miami Conference championship this past season. “I want us to contend for a GMC title next year,” Wallace said. “I plan on doing that every year.” Wallace, who played basketball for Northwest, graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in

physical education in 2005. He teaches at St. James in White Oak and worked as an assistant coach at McAuley the last two years, during which time the Mohawks went 20-23, including 12-9 last season. He also founded the Dan Wallace Basketball Academy, which sponsors an AAU team called the Aces and offers private lessons for individuals and teams. Tutorials focus on fundamentals in – among others – shooting, ballhandling and defense and are typi-

cally open to anyone ages 8-18, though exceptions can be made. Colerain will return four starters next season; among them are senior-to-be Alexis Fitzpatrick and juniors-to-be Shelly Harper, Sheaira Jones and Abby Feuchter. “I’m really excited to get started,” said Wallace, who described himself as an offensive-minded coach with a knack for tough defense. “We have a lot of talent coming back and possibly a lot of talent coming in, so we’ll see what we can do with it.”

Major league draft

La Salle High School graduate Dave Middendorf, a pitcher for Northern Kentucky University, was selected by the New York Yankees in the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft. Middendorf has been a hard-throwing starter for the Norse over the past three seasons, amassing a 16-9 record with a 2.97 ERA. The left-hander claims 222 strikeouts to rank third alltime at NKU against just 44 walks over 197 innings. In 2010, Middendorf was 8-2 with a career-high 81 strikeouts. Middendorf was named to the All-GLVC and All-Midwest Region first teams last season. He will join a Yankees system that has selected three NKU pitchers in its history. Paul David Patterson was a 16th round selection of the Yankees in 2007, while Scott Wiggins also went to the Yankees in the seventh round of the 1997 draft.

Pugh to coach Lady Owls on hardwood By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

After more than a quarter of a century coaching high school boys basketball, Jim Pugh is giving the girls game a try – and he’s not expecting any drastic changes. “(The coaching staff is) going to dress in a different locker room,” he said. “That’s the only difference.” Pugh, who coached the Mount Healthy High School boys team for 10 seasons before resigning after the 2008-09 campaign, has been named the new head coach of the Lady Owls. “The position became available, and I thought it’d be a good opportunity to get back into coaching,” Pugh

said. Pugh thought he was ready to retire in 2009. “I missed coaching,” he said. “I felt the year off rejuvenated me.” Pugh, who was an assistant girls coach for one season in Indiana, coached 16 years at Lawrenceburg and Franklin County. He is 281274 in 26 seasons overall. He inherits a team that has gone 26-16 and won two Fort Ancient Valley Conference Scarlet division titles each of the last two years. “We’re really excited about it,” said Pugh, who has taught biology at Mount Healthy for the last 11 years. “”It’ll be a good experience for me and (the players).” The top returners for the

Lady Owls include seniorsto-be Jonessa Moore, SaCoya Ellery, Tracey Wallace, Ke Ke Williams and Bri Dunn. Pugh said he hasn’t outlined any team goals for the 2010-11 season. “I’m just trying to see how the girls mature physically between now and November,” he said. When asked if he considered himself an offensiveor defensive-minded coach, Pugh said he plays to the strengths of his players. “I try to be flexible,” he said. “You can’t recruit, so you have to go with what you’re dealt.” Pugh replaces Kevin Grant, who resigned for undisclosed reasons in February.

Three wins in a row for St. Xavier

Captures allsports trophy By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

The Bombers did it again. For the third straight year and the fifth time in six years, St. Xavier High School has won the Greater Catholic League South division All-Sports Trophy. “I think it’s a combination of hard-working kids and hard-working coaches,” St. X athletic director John Sullivan said. The honor is given to the school that amasses the most points based on final

league standings in each sport. A first-place finish earns a school eight points, a second-place finish earns six points, a third-place finish earns four points and a fourth-place finish earns two points. St. X totaled 70 points to finish ahead of Moeller (65), Elder (54) and La Salle (51). It is the third straight year the GCL-South schools have finished in that order. “I don’t think there’s any kind of pecking order developing,” Sullivan said. “It’s been a lot closer over the last couple years.” The Bombers won the trophy by 18 points in 2004-05, 15 in 2005-06 and 16 in 2007-08.

the last two years, they’ve won by eight points combined. “Entering spring, Moeller and Elder are usually right there,” Sullivan said. Moeller trailed St. X 5243 entering the spring sports season and used league championships in baseball and volleyball to close the gap to five. Moeller has finished runner-up to St. X four of the last six years. The Crusaders last won the trophy in 2006-07, when they edged St. X and Elder, which tied for second, by five points. The Bombers collected 28 points this past fall – the most by any of the four schools in any season – which was highlighted by a league and city championship in football. St. X also won league titles in cross country and soccer, while golf finished third. The Bombers won the winter season 24-23 over Moeller with league titles in bowling and swimming; basketball and wrestling finished third. St. X’s weak link, however, was spring; with 18 points, the Bombers tied La Salle for the lowest output of the season. St. X won

tennis and was second in track but finished last in baseball and volleyball. “We thought we’d do better in volleyball this year, but it didn’t work out that way,” Sullivan said. “We knew we had very talented kids, but we were also young. We played a lot of juniors and sophomores.” Some sports, meanwhile, are developing consistency. St. X has won five of the last six football titles, two of the last three cross country titles and three straight bowling titles. And let’s not forget swimming and tennis. According to the St. X Web site, the Bombers have won league swimming titles every year since 1960 and league tennis titles every year since 1968. “We have an idea of which sports will fall in line,” Sullivan said. Sullivan, however, said that the competition in swimming and tennis is getting better. “Moeller and Elder seem to be getting closer in both; they’re gaining ground on us,” he said. “It’ll be interesting to see what happens in those sports over the next 10 or 15 years.”

EDITORIALS

It is very, very sad that so many Christians misread the Bible. Bob Kluge quotes Christ’s greatest commandment “love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself …” But where in the Bible does Jesus command us to take up the sword against our fellow people in order to provide a good or service or to “do good?” Rather He implores us to give through love and compassion. Despite what is taught in our schools, government is legalized coercion and violence, and failure for us to obey its laws, such as Obamacare, results in fine, jail

and, if we really put up resistance, killing. How can Christians say that using coercion and violence, even legal, against our neighbors in order to “provide health care” is “love” for our neighbors? For those who sincerely desire to create an abundance of affordable health care, there is a truly Christian alternative – separate the state from health care so that loving, compassionate people can come together through voluntary cooperation and competition without corrupting and corrupt politics.

Smog season returns It’s that time of year again. No, not baseball season, beach season or the holiday season. Something else that occurs year after year is smog season. While people don’t look forward to smog season it faithfully returns each summer, starting in April and extending through October. Smog is at its peak intensity during summer. Ground-level ozone is the type of smog that is of main concern for the greater Cincinnati area. Ground-level ozone results from motor vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, gasoline and chemicals that have been “baked” by sunlight. Smog is an air pollutant that can negatively affect anyone. People especially at-risk include children, the elderly and individuals suffering from respiratory problems. Symptoms from smog exposure include a limited ability to breathe, irritation of the throat and lungs, which cause coughing and sometimes choking. In addition, the impact smog has on the ecosystem is far-reaching. Steve Pendery, president of the Ohio- Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments and Campbell County judge executive recognizes the multi-faceted impact of smog: “Smog is a very

serious issue in our region that extends to the health of our residents, the environment we live in, and the economy we spend in.” A survey of greater Cincinnati residents found that an overwhelming majority acknowledge the seriousness of smog and genuinely want to help improve it. Almost half – 49.4 percent – of respondents believe that air pollution in greater Cincinnati is a problem and want to make an effort to improve the situation, and 22 percent of respondents found the seriousness of air pollution in greater Cincinnati extremely important and want to see change now. In order to see Cincinnati’s smog decrease and the air quality to improve, individuals need to do their share for cleaner air. While taking on responsibility for Cincinnati’s air quality might initially seem like a burden or chore, it’s actually very simple and easy to do! “It doesn’t take much effort to change your daily habits and advocate for clean air in Cincinnati,” OKI Executive Director Mark Policinski said. “Being conscientious and planning ahead can make a big difference.” The survey, conducted by OKI, revealed how real people apply clean air principles in everyday

life. When posed the question, “How do you do your share for cleaner air?” indiCallie viduals reflected Holtegel on their clean air habits. Community A mother of Press guest two responded, columnist “Having good carpooling practices through riding with friends to social events, church and the mall.” A Xavier University student said, “Walking to campus with my roommates, instead of all of us driving separately.” Some additional ways to reduce smog include taking the bus (call METRO 513-621-4455 or TANK 859-331-8265), ride a bike, refuel your vehicle after 8 p.m., conserve electricity, eliminate unnecessary vehicle trips, creating a smog alert notification system for employees, and avoid use of gasoline powered lawn equipment on smog alert days. There are resources available regarding air pollution, smog, and how you can make an impact in Cincinnati. Visit the website www.doyourshare.org or call 1-800-621SMOG.

Your ash trees are not doomed to die It is commonly known that the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) kills ash trees. There is a misconception that there’s no completely effective treatment and eventually the tree must be taken down. This is completely false! In a recent article, “Emerald Ash Borer Population Growing,” Paul Drury, assistant administrator of Anderson Township, did a great job of describing the problem. However, he concluded his article with a defeatist attitude that revealed a lack of knowledge. Just like Mariemont, and many other municipalities, individuals are not up with current research or are mislead. Many draw their conclusions from a June 2007 paper, The Potential Economic Impacts of Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) on Ohio, U.S., Communities by Sydnor, Bumgardner and Todd, that was constructed improperly focusing only on removing ash trees. In this paper, the word “save” does not appear one time. The focus is on rip and replace and not saving valuable trees. Today, the authors are rewriting the paper. In 2009, after another twoyear study, the solution to the EAB was revealed and published in Options for Protecting Ash Trees from Emerald Ash Borer. In that report scientists from these universities, Ohio State, Purdue, Michigan State, Wisconsin and Illinois, identified the most effective treatment. “A new product that is effective for two years or even longer (emamectin benzoate) has altered the economics of treating ash trees… emamectin benzoate is the only product tested to date that controls EAB for more than one year with a single application.” In a study since 2006, Daniel Herms, PhD, Department of Entomology, the Ohio State University, stated “A single trunk injection of

emamectin benzoate (TREE-äge) provided up to three years control,” Multiyear Evaluations of Systemic Insecticides for Control of Emerald Ash Tim Back Borer. In another Community paper Herms stat“The Press guest ed, emamectin bencolumnist zoate trees had less than one larva per square meter or greater than 99 percent control.” Some argue that removal and replacement is more cost effective than treatment. However, this too is a misconception based on old data. Removing a 12.4-inch tree will lose a landscape value of $2,240, cost an additional $675 for tree and stump removal, and $290 for a replacement 2.4-inch tree. In contrast, that same 12.4inch tree could be treated with TREE-äge for only $149, a threeyear protection, and less than half that price for municipal parks and streets. So there you have it. Your trees can be saved by this treatment, proven effective by multiple university studies. I’ve personally saved more than 3,000 trees, and it should be 30,000. The treatment is there, decision makers just need to wake up and use it. I encourage you to go to your park boards and city councils to ask your leaders why – why aren’t you treating the ash trees with this innovative treatment? It’s time to fight to save the beautiful ash trees. Tim Back, an International Society of Arboriculture certified arborist since 1997 and owner of Back Tree Service, 742-8733, has saved ash trees for years. Visit his blog on saving ash trees, www.emeraldash borer.wordpress.com.

Al & Tipper, you really surprised us The concept of marrying, being a couple, has been quite a standard social unit throughout history. It’s the principal way the great majority of people find pleasure, cope with loneliness, and engage the deep forces of body and soul. A couple begins not with the proverbial “falling in love.” A couple begins at that usually undeterminable time when both are first aware of being chosen by the other. The couple then begins to create and form its personal relationship. As Mary Anne McPherson Oliver writes in “Conjugal Spirituality,” “This is a serious process which requires, some say, nine to 14 years, but which is in any case a highly complicated and lifelong task never really complete. Each couple must by trial and error discover its own unrepeatable

shape. The ‘being’ of a couple is not fixed but living and changing, more like a person than a piece of pottery. It will be born and grow, or languish and die.” Despite the fact that being a couple is such a natural and universal tendency, its growth and success depends on the continued willingness and commitment to be in relation. Will and choice prove to be more important than romance and feeling. Both members of a couple must act in the preservation of their relationship. Psychiatrist Dennis Lin of the Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan speaks of the Gores in USA Today, “Their relationship was probably having troubles over time, and they were less invested in each other and less invested in making this relationship work.” Analyst Dr. James Hollis

“I’m just stunned!” ‘That was the most common adjective used when the news said Al and Tipper Gore were separating. To both friends and foes they seemed a solidly married couple. This column is neither to condemn nor praise them. Such personal decisions carry too many private and unknown factors for us to judge. What we do need to acknowledge are the questions such surprising reverses bring to our minds about ourselves. Questions such as: If their marriage of 40 years ran out of fuel, can mine? If there was no secret third party for either of them, then how could it happen after sharing so much of life together? Can love last? We’re living longer, but is love dying sooner? Can’t a couple’s love grow stronger over the years and not more fragile?

other.” The lessons for us from the Gore separation, or whenever we encounter reversals of long-held images of others, come from honest reflection on the realities of life. Did their public and political life take away too much time from their continued growth as a couple? Does our busy life take too much away from us nurturing our relationships? Should we in the Me-Generation era come to know more about the true meaning of love? Author Mary Anne Oliver

says, “Real relationship springs from a conscious desire to share the journey with another, to grow nearer the mystery of life through the bridges of conversation, sexuality and compassion.” A couple, having come into existence through choice, can only stay in existence by consciously and unconsciously making that choice over and over again. In the prenuptial paperwork of the Catholic Church, it says to those intending marriage: “Marriage is a lifelong task of choosing each

No bones about it – dads love good ribs

It pays to mow your grass along the side of the road right before dusk. My husband, Frank, was doing just that when friend Ed Kluba, owner of K l u b a Farms, was coming home Rita from sellHeikenfeld ing his Rita’s kitchen produce at market. He stopped to give Frank a bountiful bunch of gourmet lettuces. What a food gift that was since we’re having company tomorrow and my spring greens have all but bolted. Ed’s lettuce will make a nice salad topped with fresh peas from our garden. And since Father’s Day is almost here, I wanted to share a favorite ribs recipe that I’ll be making for the dads in our family. Happy Dad’s Day to all of our Community Press and Recorder dads!

Rita’s grilled baby back ribs

Sprinkle the ribs with the spice rub up to a day ahead. This recipe will serve eight people. You may have leftover rub so store it in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Mix together:

3 tablespoons garlic powder 1 tablespoon plus 1 tea-

1 tablespoon sugar Ice: See Carol’s tip

Put lemon and oranges in large punch bowl. Pour in thawed lemonade. Gently stir in seltzer water and sparkling cider. Add sugar to taste and add ice. Tip: Fill a 4- to 6-cup freezable container with water and freeze. Or use ice cubes. Carol said this would look nice in a pitcher, as well.

Ed Kluba’s freshly picked lettuce. spoon chili powder 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cumin 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 1 teaspoon Spanish smoked paprika or regular paprika 1 teaspoon allspice

Ribs:

6 to 7 pounds meaty baby back pork ribs, cut into 6 to 7 rib slabs. Sprinkle 1 generous teaspoon of rub on each side of each slab. Put on baking sheet; cover with foil and refrigerate at least two hours or up to one day.

To grill ribs:

Prepare grill with medium heat. Grill ribs until tender and cooked, turning occasionally. Then brush each side generously with barbeque

sauce. Continue grilling until sauce forms a sticky coating, about three minutes per side.

Carol Vanover’s sparkling punch

Carol, an Indiana reader, as some of you know, is my “oldest and bestest” friend. She is always trying new recipes with a healthy twist. She served this at a party and everyone loved it. “Not too sweet, very refreshing and good with a meal,” she said. Carol said it looked pretty, too. Adapted from one she found online.

Two 750 ml. bottles sparkling apple cider, chilled 1 liter carbonated water (Carol used seltzer), chilled 3 large oranges, thinly sliced 2 lemons, thinly sliced 6 oz. frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed

Mix together: 1

Audrey Reinhart’s tartar sauce

Audrey sent this in for Eileen Coon as well. “She might like this,” Audrey said.

Mix together:

1 cup Miracle Whip (or mayonaise) 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon yellow mustard 1 or 2 cloves garlic 3 ⁄4 cup sweet pickle relish, drained Few drops hot pepper

Easy hand-held apple ‘pies’

Let the kids help with this one for dad. If he likes nuts, add a small amount, chopped.

1 stick butter or margarine, divided 2 nice big apples, peeled, cored and diced small 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon flour Extra cinnamon mixed with a bit of white sugar for sprinkling on top (optional) Bread with crusts removed (anywhere from 12 to 15 slices) Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray baking sheet. Melt 1⁄2 stick butter over

medium heat in large skillet. Stir in flour and cook a minute. Don’t let it brown. Add apples, brown sugar and cinnamon and cook until apples are tender. Let cool. Roll each slice of bread until it is thin and flat. Put some of apple mixture (not too much) into center of each slice. Wet two of the edges and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Press edges to make a seal. Place on baking sheet. Melt remaining butter and brush tops. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon/sugar mixture.

All classes are taught by local theatre professionals and educators. Classes are available for children age 5 through high

school and divided by grade level. All classes take place in a friendly and non-intimidating learning environment. No previous acting or performing experience is required to participate. The creative dramatics camp (for children age 5 or entering grades 1-2) is offered in one-week sessions, taking place the weeks of June 14, June 21, July 5, July 12, July 19 and July 26.

Twin Towers hosts art competition

PROVIDED.

A quilt in the annual art contest at Twin Towers in College Hill.

More than 1,100 senior citizens in southwestern Ohio are putting the finishing touches on manuscripts, poems, paintings and other works of art for an annual competition sponsored by the Association of Ohio Philanthropic Homes, Housing and Services for the Aging. Twin Towers, at 5343 Hamilton Ave., will host this regional event from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, June 22 23.

“The art work that is submitted is truly amazing,” said Holly Henderson, manager of events and programs at Twin Towers. “It is a great opportunity for seniors to demonstrate their talent with pride and a chance for the public to appreciate what they can do.” All participants in the competition are residents of AOPHA member retirement communities or affiliated services.

“Many winners of past competitions have been residents of our Life Enriching Communities,” said Henderson. “We have had winners in the categories of cooperative art, woodworking, photography, large quilted works, woven arts, woodworking, computer art and writing both fiction and prose,” she said. The award winners from the regional competition will go on to compete in

AOPHA’s statewide competition at its annual conference and trade show Aug. 31-Sept. 2 in Columbus. Last year’s competition included traditional and contemporary quilting, oil and watercolor paintings, pottery, stained glass, computer art, poetry, and short stories. This event is free and open to the public. For more information call Holly Henderson at 8532743.
