A Texas real estate investment group, Tabani Group International, has obtained an option to purchase and redevelop Northgate Mall. McBride Dale Clarion, a landuse and real estate consulting firm acting as agent for the group, submitted a revised preliminary development plan for the mall to the Colerain Township Zoning office July 22 identifying the Tabani Group as the applicant. The submitted plan shows five additional outlots: two are identified as banks and three as restaurants. The plan does not specify what the restaurants are but Lexington-based Cheddars has been reported to be interested. Jeremiah Sunden, who works for Tabani, said the group’s managing director, Zeshan Tabani, has been working closely on the Northgate project but was out of the office and could not be reached for comment. According to the Tabani Group website, it “creates value through capital improvements, increasing occupancy rates through aggressive professional marketing, and leveraging strategic management

Tabani Group specializes in ‘special situation’ properties, i.e. troubled properties requiring meaningful investment/ repositioning.” San Diego-based Douglas Wilson Co. was appointed as receiver for the 1 million square-foot retail shopping center in February 2010 when Wells Fargo Bank foreclosed on the mall against owners Feldman Mall Properties. The Douglas Wilson firm has been overseeing
the operation of Northgate Mall as it prepared to market and sell the property. The mall is anchored by Sears and Macy’s, following the closure of Dillard’s in 2009. The sale was handled by Rockwood Real Estate Advisors, headquartered in New York. Rockwood managing director Tom Dobrowski said his firm is still negotiating the mall sale. He said he expects a contract to be signed within the next couple of weeks, and is hopeful the deal will
be signed sooner, rather than later. He said he expects the final selling price of the mall to be in the lowto-mid $30 million range. Feldman Mall Properties bought the mall for $110 million in 2005. Colerain Township Assistant Administrator and Economic Development Director Frank Birkenhauer said he is pleased to see activity at the mall. “It’s good to see new business investing in Northgate Mall,” he said. “It is just a first step, but it shows the vitality of the mall. As the revitalization of Northgate continues, I believe the development will bring a lot more good news and the redevelopment will bring new and exciting businesses into the township.” According to McBride Dale Clarion, the application for a plan revision is expected to go before the Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission Sept. 1; a special meeting of the Colerain Township Zoning Commission will review the plan at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 30, at the Colerain Township Government Complex, 4200 Springdale Road. Birkenhauer said the plan could go to the Colerain Township Board of Trustees for a decision by the end of September.
Colerain renews contract with sheriff Colerain Township trustees approved a four-year extension of the agreement between the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and the Colerain Township Police Department at their meeting July 12. The contract expired May 31. The township will pay the county $400,000 annually, or about $1.6 million over the life of the contract.

Ohio Supreme Court will hear appeal on Rumpke By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
Reversing a December decision, the Ohio Supreme Court has agreed to hear Colerain Township’s appeal of a decision that the Rumpke Landfill is a public utility. The court announced today that it has accepted a discretionary appeal to hear the case filed by Colerain Township. In December, the court said it would not hear the township’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling that the landfill is a public utility and, therefore, is not subject to township zoning requirements. Rumpke plans to add 350 acres to its Struble Road landfill. The Colerain Township Board of Trustees rejected the plan in 2006 and Rumpke appealed, arguing the landfill was a public utility and should not be subject to zoning. The landfill won its appeal, and then Colerain Township officials

The township appealed that decision and the justices have now agreed to hear the appeal. Rumpke officials could not be reached for comment. Colerain Township Trustee
President Dennis Deters said he is pleased with the decision. “Ultimately, the question is should the landfill be zoneable,” he said. “It’s an important question, and it should be determined by the Ohio Supreme Court.” Trustee Jeff Ritter said the deci-
sion to hear the appeal is great news for the township and those who have opposed the landfill’s expansion. Trustee Joseph Wolterman agreed, saying a decision from the Ohio Supreme Court is in the best interest of all parties involved, particularly the residents of Colerain Township. “We need to know the legal standing of the township in this situation moving forward,” he said. “Ultimately, this is a question that has to be answered.” Ohio Citizens’ Action Director Melissa English said the decision is good news. “It’s possibly a game-changer,” she said. “The precedent here was mind-boggling and we are pleased with the decision to reconsider.” For more about your community, visit www.cincinnati.com/coleraintownship.

Green Twp. expects to file CMHA suit this week By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Green Township expects to have its lawsuit against the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority filed this week. Charles Miller, a partner with the Cincinnati law firm Keating Muething & Klekamp who is representing the township in the suit, said he will have the lawsuit filed in the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas. Green Township is suing the housing authority on a complaint CMHA has unlawfully singled out the township in a voluntary compli-
ance agreement the housing authority approved with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The agreement with HUD calls for the addition of 32 new public housing units in Green Township. Green Township Trustee David Linnenberg has said he does not think it’s fair CMHA and HUD are singling out the township. “We have several public housing units in Green Township and we are willing to work with CMHA to accept our fair share,” he said. The agreement the housing authority board approved with
HUD in early June was the result of a fair-housing complaint that accused the housing authority of keeping public housing out of Green Township for several years. Based on the numbers of public housing units in the township, Linnenberg said the housing authority and HUD cannot claim the township isn’t being unfairly singled out in the agreement to add 32 more units in Green Township. He said the township hosts 105 public housing units and Section 8 units. He said only five of Hamilton County’s 48 suburbs have more public housing units than Green Township.
“They are telling us we have to take on more units, and we have to be the first community to do so,” Linnenberg said. “We’re going to see if we can fight that.” Miller said during the time period in which it is alleged the housing authority kept public housing out of Green Township, the housing authority did not purchase housing in any other suburban county neighborhood either. “There were no purchases anywhere outside of the city of Cincinnati,” he said. Miller said the agreement to add 32 more units in Green Township,
without assigning additional units anywhere else and without conducting a market study, is not appropriate. “The primary purpose of the suit is to clearly rid Green Township of the stigma of being a community that discriminates. Green Township does not discriminate and it should not be treated as though it does,” he said. “I think we will prevail.” He said they will seek a ruling from the court prohibiting the housing authority from specifically targeting Green Township.

year-long battle with an aggressive form of oral cancer. Wagner transferred to Northwest High School in 2008 from Houston Elementary School. “The staff considered it a blessing to have Mrs. Wagner as a part of the Northwest family,” Northwest Principal Todd Bowling said. “She developed strong relationships with our students, parents, and staff. Mrs. Wagner will be missed immensely.” Diane Wagner was the wife of Randy Wagner and mother to daughter Katie, who graduated from Colerain High School in June. One of Diane Wagner’s goals was to see Katie graduate from high school and go on to college. Family and friends got to work shortly after her death planning a benefit to help cover medical expenses that mounted

Home values are constantly fluctuating, up or down, within local and regional markets. Coming up with the right figure is vitally important to an owner who is deciding on an asking price for his home. If it’s too high, the owner will be cut off by competitive offerings and it will be hard to remove an “overpriced” stigma in the view of brokers and prospective buyers. If it’s too low, the owner-seller will obviously lose money. Some owners depend on value estimates offered by online services. This is usually a mistake. It might be a helpful beginning, but not a total resource. “Real estate cannot, and never will, succeed on technology alone,” said Greg Hanson of RealEstate. com. “While mobile applications, the internet, and other technologies have made it easier for buyers and sellers to demystify real estate, they’ll never fully replace the expert insight and personalize advice provided by a real estate professional.” That especially applies to determining a home’s current market value. A trusted REALTOR® or an on-site appraiser will see and consider many factors that will always remain unknown to a computer database.

Springfield Twp. gives youngsters fire training By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
Squirting a high-power hose at the fire chief’s car just may be the highlight of one of the youngsters attending the Springfield Township Fire Department Kids Fire Academy. “That was really cool,” said Riley Miller, 7, after accomplishing the hose maneuvers. Manning hoses wasn’t all that was on the week-long curriculum. Township youngsters ages 8-12 spent mornings learning life-saving methods, when and how to call 9-1-1 and how to use a fire extinguisher. Lt. Randy Miller, no relation to Riley, has organized the camps for youngsters the past 12 years.
“It gives the kids a firsthand look at what we do every day, plus we get to share important safety information with them,” Miller said. Emily Schwegman, 9, said she came to camp to “learn about being a firefighter.” Fellow camper, Cameron Hofmann has more longterm goals in mind. “I want to be a fireman when I grow up,” the 8-yearold said. “I think it’s cool.” The week was to end with graduation ceremonies, including fun and games for the graduates and their parents. Much to Riley’s disappointment, getting another chance to hose down the chief’s car was not on the activity list.

Medical practice marks 25 years on West Side By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
One of the largest medical practices in Greater Cincinnati started out as a simple conversation between two doctors. Dr. Ted Bort said when he was completing his residency in the department of family medicine at the University of Cincinnati he and Dr. Timothy McCarren, who was the department’s chief resident at the time, went out one evening and talked about how they were both interested in private practice. Bort said McCarren, a native West Sider and Elder High School graduate, expressed his desire to open a medical practice in Western Hills.
“I said, ‘Where in the hell is Western Hills,’” Bort said. “I had never been here before.” Despite his unfamiliarity with the West Side, he partnered with McCarren and in July 1986 the two physicians took a chance and opened their own practice. The Family Medical Group is now a comprehensive practice that employs 79 people, 12 of whom are board certified physicians, and operates three offices in Green Township. The group serves more than 30,000 patients each year from offices at 6331 Glenway Ave., 6480 Harrison Ave. and 3260 Westbourne Drive. Bort and McCarren celebrated The Family Medical Group’s 25th anniversary
with the practice’s doctors, nurses, physical therapists, administrators and staff members in July. “It has always been a team effort,” Bort said. McCarren said he and Bort sat down at his dining room table in 1986 and planned out the practice. The best decision they made was hiring Linda Behlmer as their chief operating officer, McCarren said. “Nobody does it without Linda Behlmer,” McCarren said. “Who hasn’t been touched by her grace?” Behlmer, who has been with the medical group since day one, said all the special moments in her career have taken place at the practice. “It’s been a great journey,” she said, noting that it
wouldn’t have been possible to celebrate 25 years without the hard work of the group’s dedicated employees. McCarren said caring for others is a very serious business and their mission has always been to provide highquality health care for all patients. “I think we must do it better than anyone else,” he said. Bort said it took a lot of planning, hard work and sacrifice to establish the practice, and it was all worthwhile. “We never looked back,” he said. “We’ve exceeded our wildest dreams.” For more about your community, visit www.cincinnati.com/greentowns hip.

Township plans on land bank participation By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
Springfield Township plans on taking advantage of recently approved property acquisition legislation. Township Administrator Mike Hinnenkamp said township officials actually had lobbied in the past for the authority to acquire properties in property tax foreclosure. Hamilton County is the sixth county in the state to take advantage of a 2010 state law that allows county commissioners to create socalled land banks. Funded by late tax payments from delinquent property owners, the county estimates it will collect $2.4 million a year from delinquent property taxes that had been divvied up between municipalities and school districts. Land banks act like a development company, but have the power to eliminate the tax liens, unpaid mortgages and other title problems.
T h o s e liens, added to the selling price, have kept properties on the market, Hinnenkamp McFarlin said, adding to the abandoned home and blighted property problems. While the township has no specific property in mind currently, Hinnenkamp said the program will make it easier to get sites that are either nuisance properties or would be part of an economic development project. “This is a great tool for us that could help us eliminate abandoned houses,” said Trustee Gwen McFarlin. “The ultimate goal for us is to build community pride.” Mount Healthy has had its own version of a land bank system. Safety/Service Director Bill Kocher said the county’s program will “make it easier and cut through a lot of the red tape.”
“It helps us take unproductive properties and make them productive again,” he said. “The properties we’ve bought, we’ve done the oldfashioned way with a real estate person, but the county’s land bank program puts us on a faster track.” While other municipalities like Mount Healthy have been in favor of the land bank program for much the same reasons, school districts aren’t sold on the plan. “It’s taking money we won't be getting when we can least afford it,” said Jan Gardiner, North College Hill school board member. Hinnenkamp said while he understands why school districts don’t support the land bank program, he said it ultimately is in everyone’s best interests. “These are properties that aren’t collecting property taxes and may be priced too high to sell with the current real estate market,” Hinnenkamp said. “They are sitting vacant

Trustees rehire public works director By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
The Colerain Township Board of Trustees decided at its meeting Tuesday night that Public Works Director Bruce McClain can come back to his position after retiring. He returns at reduced salary, saving the township more than $14,000 annually. His new salary will be $70,000 annually. McClain said he started working in the township in 1980 and became the public works director
in 2005. His current salary is $84,123.04. McClain, 53, said he is scheduled to retire from the Ohio Public Employees RetireMcClain ment System Aug. 1. He said he decided to retire because of diminishing benefits for state employees are on the horizon. He said he has a combined 35 years of service with OPERS, four years with the U.S.
Marine Corps and 31 years with the Colerain Township Public Works Department. The board had a public hearing at its meeting July 20, and then voted 2-1 to approve the rehiring. Trustee Jeff Ritter said that while he respects McClain and the work that he does for the township, he opposes the idea of rehiring employees who have retired. “He has the heart, the skills and commitment we aspire to see in all of our township employees,” Ritter said. “His work is top notch.
But I have always been troubled by this retire/rehire procedure, and so I will stand on principle and vote no.” Trustee Joseph Wolterman while he is no fan of retire/rehire, he also believes these are special times and special circumstances. “He has no stream of income, and applies for grants to maintain our streets and has brought millions and millions of dollars to this township.” Board President Dennis Deters said in this case it is important to
look at the person who is being rehired and the quality of the work the township sees. “I believe this is in the best interest of the township,” he said. Colerain Township residents Dennis Mason and Bernie Fiedeldey addressed the board during the public hearing and praised the work of McClain. “If I had a vote, I would rehire him,” Mason said.

Ursuline performing arts grads continue studies in college Nine Ursuline Academy members of the Class of 2011 will soon take their love of the stage off to college where they will either major or minor in a variety of performing arts disciplines. The majority of them have spent the past four years at Ursuline fully entrenched in theatrical and musical performances that were produced by the school. In addition, some also performed in St. Xavier High School’s productions as well as community and national performances and competitions where they won numerous awards at such venues as the
Festival Disney in Orlando and the Cincinnati Arts Association Overture Awards Scholarship competition. One of the students was Abby Bartish of White Oak, who will major in musical theatre at Indiana University where she received an academic scholarship; she also received the UA 2011 UA Performing Arts Scholarship; Several of the alumnae also were awarded academic and/or talent scholarships to schools other than the one they’ll be attending, and all are excited and fully prepared to further their craft
in college. Music teacher Chris Larsen is proud of the talented alumnae. “Ursuline Academy continues to well prepare its students for the rigorousness of college academics. Additionally, we offer our performing arts students unique opportunities to think creatively in real-world situations and roles. This greatly serves our students who are pursuing a major or minor in any of the performing arts, making them leaders among their peers even in their freshman year.”

St. Xavier golf team reloads
By Ben Walpole
bwalpole@communitypress.com
Consider that the St. Xavier High School golf team’s five-man lineup in last year’s state tournament featured four seniors and you would think the Bombers might be hurting for talent this season. But you would be wrong. St. X had four varsity teams last season, featuring a total of 29 golfers, so head coach Alex Kepley has plenty of returning players with a various levels of varsity experience. The difficulty each year isn’t finding enough quality; it’s determining which six players should comprise the lineup by the end of the season. “We have a wealth of talent with both the rising seniors and the juniors, and even some sophomores,” Kepley said. “It’ll be interesting to see how it
“We have a wealth of talent with both the rising seniors and the juniors, and even some sophomores. It’ll be interesting to see how it all shakes out.” Alex Kepley all shakes out.” There are some known quantities, though. Senior Lee House is the one returnee who played in the 2010 state tourney. He was a first team, AllGreater Catholic League South selection last year and spent the summer playing in high-level tournaments around the country. Junior Joey Arcuri, second team all-league as a sophomore, and senior Jay Brockhoff also have lots of varsity experience to go with impressive summer tournament

resumes. They’ll be the team leaders, especially early in the season as the lineup’s fresh faces adjust to new roles. “I’m expecting them to say, ‘Hey, it’s OK. We’ve been there before. We’ll get you through this,’” Kepley said. The GCL South is always tough, but this year might be even more balanced than most, with Elder and La Salle boasting talented rosters on par with traditional favorites Moeller and St. X. All four teams have seen their golfers excel during the offseason. Kepley likes his team’s potential depth but said his young players will have to adapt quickly to high-level varsity play. “They definitely have the talent, and they’ve played in a ton of tournaments this summer,” Kepley said. “I need them to now transition what they’ve done this summer into the high school season.”

The Cardinals return three seniors from last year’s squad. Kevin Fox, Gavin Whitehead and Austin Kyle are all expected to return. Kyle enters the 2011 campaign coming off a victory in June’s Southern Ohio Junior PGA Championship. Nick Tegenkamp is also expected to contribute for the Cardinals this fall. According to coach John Cecere, Cardinal golfers have been busy playing in summer tournament. “It is a group of players that have high character and compete hard every day,” he said.
La Salle
Coach Jonathan Feldkamp will return five golfers from last year’s Lancers’ squad. Matt Wetterich, Sam Johnstone, Nick Hinton, Drew Gauthier and Patrick Kennedy are all expected to return. La Salle opens the regular season at the Princeton Invitational at Sharon Woods Golf Course, Aug. 9.

Back to basics for Northwest boys golf By Ben Walpole bwalpole@communitypress.com
It’s rebuilding time for the Northwest High School boys golf team. Head coach Chris Wagner’s squad graduated three seniors, including all-league
John Lehmkuhl, leaving an inexperienced base. “A lot of the kids coming up, they’ve played a little bit, but they don’t always have a lot of that competitive nature,” Wagner said. “So I try to work on that.” Wagner does have two
juniors – Justin McKee and Bradley Debildt – back from last year’s varsity lineup. They contributed last season but this year they’ll be the leaders. Wagner called McKee “a great kid to coach.” “He’s non-stop golf,”
Wagner said. “All he wants to do is practice and play. Throughout this year he should get over that hump and become a really, really good golfer.” Beyond them the Knights will rely on a group of juniors who played JV last
season and some freshmen. They lack varsity experience, but Wagner praised their work ethic. The coach said, given all the newcomers, he will be in back-to-the-basics mode throughout the season. “A lot of chipping, a lot
of putting,” Wagner said. “A lot of competitions and games during practice to make it a little bit more fun.” For more coverage, visit Cincinnati.com/blogs/pressprep s
McAuley golf looks to extend postseason success By Nick Dudukovich ndudukovich@communitypress.com
The McAuley High School golf squad has made an impressive run of five district tournament appearances in the past eight seasons. With the returning talent McAuley will feature in 2011, chances are the squad will be able to stretch that stat to six of nine yeas. Senior Alisha Wellman of Colerain Township leads the squad after earning second-team, AllGirls Greater Cincinnati League honors in 2010. Wellman’s average of 41.90 strokes-per-nine holes was the 12th best mark recorded in the GGCL Scarlet Division. McAuley veteran head coach Ernie Petri believes Wellman can average between 40 to 41 strikes

Softball coach Katie Shay takes the reigns of a girls golf team that will try to improve its team average of 189.45 strokes per nine holes from the 2010 season. Shay, who graduated from Colerain in 2003 with a golf scholarship to a school in North Carolina, will welcome back returning golfers Taylor Smith, Madija Sandy, Allison Holterman, Adijana Sandy and Gabby Hogel. Shay likes her team’s attitude and is looking forward to the Lady Cardinals’ first tee-time. “We have worked hard in the offseason and feel prepared to have a great season,” she said.

this fall. “I think her experience and playing on a lot of the same courses she’s played on will help her hopefully (improve her average),” Petri said. Petri is also looking forward to seeing senior co-captain Sarah
Buescher tee off this season. He believes that Buescher could be the most improved golfer from last year’s squad. “She’s been a regular at the summer practices and trying to help lead the team,” he said. “She’s just hitting the ball much
straighter. The squad will also look to get a boost from Danielle Dilonardo, of Green Township. Dilonardo earned GGCL honorable mention after posting a 47.6 average as a freshman. Junior Jena Huber of Green Township is also expected to contribute after posting a 47.6 average last fall. Despite a small build, Petri believes Huber possesses a big game. “She’s tiny but mighty,” Petri said. “She can hit it a long way.” Other candidates that could contribute this season that played junior varsity last year include juniors Leslie Adams and Emily Meyer, as well as sophomore Briana Buck. As for measuring success this fall, Petri said his team would like
to a shot at the GGCL Scarlet title, but the veteran coach, who is entering his 15th year of coaching, knows winning the league will be no easy task. “We’ve only won the GGCL one time in the last 15 years that I’ve been doing it,” he said. "It’s a tough accomplishment and actually my goal is more to get to districts and it's probably almost a more realistic goal than (winning) the GGCL sometimes.” And continuing the team’s run to district tournaments is something Petri believes is within his team’s grasp. “I give them all the credit in the world; they have been as successful as they’ve been,” he said. “I hope they can continue that this year.” For more coverage, visit Cincinnati.com/blogs/PressPreps

Bengals wise to take chance on Colerain’s Lainhart It’s nice to see the Bengals take a chance on former Colerain High School standout Brian Lainhart. Lainhart, who starred at safety for Nick Kent State Dudukovich U n i v e r s i t y Reporter's the past four e a r s , Notebook ysigned with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent July 25. The 6-foot-1, 207-pound defensive back will have his work cut for him in the pros, but I for one, wouldn’t be surprised to see Lainhart open some eyes during training camp. I covered Kent State during the 2008 season as intern for Rivals.com, and I can tell you that Lainhart was an impact player, even as a sophomore. He left the school second, all-time in interceptions (17), and at one point, he contributed to 20 turnovers during a 30-game span. Skeptics will point to the level of competition in the Mid-American Conference. But I say who cares. Talent doesn’t hide itself on the field. And besides, fellow Kent alumns Josh Cribbs (Browns), James Harrison (Steelers) and Rico Murray (Bengals) didn’t have a tough time adjusting to the pros. So many armchair quarterbacks declare they want “football players,” and not just athletes on their team.

Well that’s Lainhart – a true football player. The guy was an absolute ballhawk during the season I saw him play in Kent. If there was a defensive play to be made, you could count on seeing Lainhart’s jersey in the mix. And judging by the numbers, Lainhart never slowed down in his two remaining years as a Golden Flash.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Public housing debate
I found (Ted) Bergh’s, interim executive director of CMHA, factual discussion to be one sided. His view is a typical big government employee – it’s great for your community but not mine. I believe he lives in Anderson Township, which has 41 CMHA houses along with only 10 HUD/Section 8 housing units. I was surprised to learn CMHA pumps in $100 million into Hamilton County’s economy each year. Where is the money coming from since this is a federal program (you and me)? Bergh is right about one thing and that is your neighbor could be receiving housing assistance, and you don’t even know it until you check ownership of the house and find out that its own by CMHA. CMHA is not only collecting rent but not paying any property taxes on the house. I found this out on my own by checking on a house in my neighbor. What a good deal for CMHA.
I agree that a public housing debate should be rooted with facts but all the facts, not just the ones CMHA wants us to hear. Roger Johnson Colerain Township
Letter brings chuckle
It was a hot, miserable, spiritsdown Wednesday when I opened my Northwest Press and turned to the Viewpoints page. Then I read the piece by Ann Thompson, “Chabot part of problem,” and the convoluted and crazy rhetoric of this liberal caused me to laugh so hard my stomach hurt! Ah, the bad day was erased by this “the facts mean nothing” Democrat! Poor Ann, so well fed by the tribal word as fed to her by her heroes Obama, Reid, Pelosi, that she loses all sense of political reality. Keep these funny letters to the
CH@TROOM What do you do to “beat the heat?” “I guess sitting under a shady tree with a nice breeze blowing in off of the river with a cold drink in hand and maybe even a good book to read. ” L.S. “To bet the heat we stay inside and move activities to early morning or evening. As for the fair, I think a ‘nicer’ location will help.” B.N. “I can’t change how Mother Nature controls the outdoor temperature so I don’t dwell on it. If the weather people would stop reminding everyone about how hot it is outside, I don’t think heat would be at the front of everyone’s mind. I just go about my daily errands, etc. and I don’t dwell on it. Inside the home, keeping the blinds closed on the side of the house that is getting the sun until it leaves, and then repeating the procedure on the other side makes a big difference inside allowing for the thermostat to stay at a set number. Ours is at 76 degrees. Fans also help move the air for circulation. Remember people, it beats having ole man winter blowing at our doors! Think positive, in a hundred years you won’t know the difference anyway!” M.E.N.
What changes could Hamilton County Fair organizers make to get you to attend the fair? “Sending armed guards to my house might work :)” J.G. “How about free beer’ ... that would work.:-)” Bill B. “I have only attended one time since 1970, when my kids were little.

I was never inclined to go back. “If they can’t make money and attract sufficient people, they should shut it down. Residents of Hamilton County have a lot of trouble identifying with farming. It’s not what most of us do.” F.S.D. “For me, nothing. I grew up in Philadelphia, Pa., lived in Baltimore, Md., and now Cincinnati. “I am a city-suburbs person and have always associated county fairs with either the rural or agrarian life, so I never developed an interest.” M.A.M. “More publicity BEFORE the fair, not after. Most of these events have great coverage about what happened, but not much to inform you before the event.” J.K. “It’s been years since I attended the Carthage Fair. Please note that name because if you Google the Hamilton County Fair you get zilch. “But even the Carthage Fair website lacks any real information such as costs, parking availability, rides, featured entertainment, hours of operation, etc. For contrast, Google the Clermont County Fair and see how it should be done! “I’d like to visit our fair and perhaps take my grandchildren, but I need clearer picture of what to expect. I just might choose the Clermont Fair for the reasons stated.” R.V.

Hit the points
Talk about repeating talking points. (Ann) Thompson, in her rant about Steve Chabot, hit all the Democrat talking points, as usual. She failed to remember that her party had the majority in Congress through this last election and could have done anything it wanted and pretty much did. Case in point the very expensive and highly ineffective “Obamacare.” Yet to be declared unconstitutional, hopefully. Chabot’s Democrat predecessor,

Debt crisis
During this debt crisis situation we have been told many times that, should Congress not approve an increase in the debt ceiling, the administration could not guarantee the checks for Social Security pensions.
Now we know for certain that we have been told lies. There is a supposed lockbox in West Virginia for the Social Security Trust Fund. Either it is real or a bunch of file cabinets filled with worthless political promises. Thank you, President Obama, you have told the truth this time. Social Security is a giant Ponzi scheme with only file cabinets of political promises backing the worthless paper. Stanton Doran Colerain Township
Fireworks over, on to the Taste of Colerain As I write this, we have wrappedup another fantastic Colerain Township 4th of July Spectacular. Every year, the fireworks get even more beautiful and amazing! The show and patriotic soundtrack are choreographed, set up, and fired by a group of volunteers. The group, led by Assistant Fire Chief Rick Niehaus, undergoes training and certification each year and work throughout the year to prepare. Thank you for your time and dedication! If we contracted out a show as fantastic as ours, the cost would be over $50,000. Because of these volunteers, the show costs about $15,000. By having a local group for entertainment, significant funds were saved over a national act in not only the cost of the band, but also in lodging, meals, and stage/sound system requirements. That’s two of the many ways that the Summer Events Committee is doing a great job with levering donations and sponsorships, along with a minor contribution from the Township Trustees. Have you marked your calendar for the Taste of Colerain on Aug. 12-
14? For the entertainment schedule and food vendor menus, check the Township’s website or “like” the Taste of Colerain on Facebook at www.facebook.com/TasteofColerain. Our longtime restaurants are joined this year by several new ones. There will be something to suit everyone’s tastes! Also, be sure to mark your calendar for our KaBoom! playground build day at the new Wert Family Park on Galbraith on September 9. We will build a playground in one day and need volunteers to help! Contact me if you’d like to be on the build day crew. Thanks to Dr. Pepper Snapple for working with us on this project. Colerain Township began the second quarter of 2011 on April 1, 2011, with a balance brought forward of $25,693,789.66. During April, May, and June, we had receipts of $4,184,761.46 and expenses of $6,076,369.06. Our balance as of June 30, 2011, was $23,802,182.06. Regular readers of my column will remember that our receipts are typically higher than our expenses. However, it is important to note
that property taxes are due to the counHeather ty in June, so we Harlow had yet received Community much of those funds Press guest by then end of the month. columnist Lastly, but certainly not the least important, I wish our Township Administrator David Foglesong all the best in his retirement!

Tips for coping with deployment Deployment of a parent can be very difficult for military families to handle, and can be especially stressful for the children. Here are some tips to help kids cope when a family member goes to combat. When you learn that a family member will be deployed, plan ahead. It makes it easier when you know what to expect and have strategies for dealing with all the changes and possible stresses on both the children and the spouse left behind. The first thing to do is to try to keep things at home as stable as possible. Keep bedtime and mealtime routines the same. Be honest with kids about what is happening without making unrealistic promises. Limit exposure to TV news and headlines. It helps to maintain a bond with the deployed parent, either through emails, letters or Skype. Be creative. Before departure, the deployed parent can record a book for the kids to listen to, or write notes to be opened on special days or holidays. Counting down days on a calendar can be reassuring. Encourage kids to make scrapbooks or videos for the parent who’s away so they will not miss out on birthdays and other special
events. Give kids permission to focus on school, sports and their friends. Some kids feel guilty if they are having fun while a parent is gone. Reassure them that the absent parent would want them to take care of themselves. The parent left behind also needs to stay emotionally healthy, and should allow friends and relatives to help them through difficult times. Sometimes it helps to make connections with other military families who are “in the same boat”. Allow children to express their feelings. Realize that kids might not all react the same way to stress, and it’s important to let them deal with the issues in their own way. It is normal for children to have strong emotions around such an event, which may range from pride to sadness to anger. Help them express themselves by writing letters, drawing pictures, or keeping a journal. Studies have shown that children of deployed soldiers have higher rates of depression and hospitalization for mental illness. Keep a watchful eye for signs that your child needs professional counseling. Indications that kids may be suffer-
ing include chronic headaches, stomachaches, fatigue, and falling grades. Kids may also become obsessed Dr. Teresa about war or terEsterle rorism. Ask your doctor or school Community counselor to help Press guest with a mental columnist health referral. Be prepared that homecoming can be just as stressful as going away. Sometimes the parent who comes home is emotionally wounded. Often the family has also changed a lot while they’ve been gone. Try not to have high expectations and realize that times may be tough for a bit as people readjust to each other. There are lots of good resources to help military families, including the National Military Family Association (www.nmfa.org) and the National Resource Directory (www.nationalresourcedirectory.go v). Dr. Teresa Esterle, is a board certified pediatrician at West Side Pediatrics in western Cincinnati. Esterle is also a member of the medical staff at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.

St. John gears up for festival Aug. 19-21
By Jennie Key
jkey@communitypress.com
This festival may be corny to some, but it’s a popular part of the summer scene in Colerain Township. St. John the Baptist Parish, 5361 Dry Ridge Road, began its festival preparation work July 23 with its annual Corn Day. A total of 4.200 ears of corn were shucked, cleaned, blanched, cut and frozen. The corn will be served at the festival’s country style chicken dinner, a main attraction at the annual festival; more than 4,000 diners were served at last year’s chicken dinner. David Kissell, director of development at St. John the Baptist Parish, said the festival will be on the church grounds the weekend of Aug. 19-21. It is a long-standing tradition in Colerain Township that features rides, games, food, and a $20,000 reverse raffle.
Kissell said the church has fliers advertising a church picnic/festival going back to the 1920s “We look at it as an opportunity to do some community building first and foremost,” he said. “Everyone comes together and pitches in.” He said the festival is also an important fundraiser for the parish as well. Revenue from the festival helps with capital improvements, such as a new roof for the church, as well as operating expenses for the parish and subsidies for St. John the Baptist School. Festival hours are: • 7 p.m. -midnight Friday Aug. 19; • 6 p.m.-midnight Saturday, Aug. 20; and • noon-10 p.m.. Sunday, Aug. 21. There are also special attractions. A Texas hold ‘em poker tournament is set for Friday night. This year’s tournament

Check the start date of your extended warranty I’ve often warned about buying third-party extended warranties for used cars because some of the companies do little more than take your money. But now I’ve got an alert when buying such warranties directly from the auto manufacturers. While those are the warranties I prefer, you do have to check to see exactly what you’re getting. Doris Stemmer of Anderson Township bought a used Lincoln LS in 2007. At the time the salesman sold her an extended service warranty from Ford. “He told us the extended warranty would kick in at the end of the manufacturer’s limited warranty, which was 50,000 miles. This would take us to 75,000 miles,” Stemmer said. Stemmer said she was
mostly concerned with how m a n y m i l e s she’d get on the car before the warranty Howard Ain expires. “ I t Hey Howard! c o m e s with 72 months or 75,000 miles, whichever comes first. When I had a problem I thought it was under the warranty. I took it in and they said, ‘Nope, your warranty was up 10 days ago,’ ” she said. It turns out her warranty actually began two years before she ever bought the car – it began the day the vehicle was purchased for the first time. “The salesman said
nothing about when the date started. If I knew when I was purchasing the extended warranty, which cost me about $1,200, that it started two years before I even owned the car, I wouldn’t have bought it,” Stemmer said. After paying more than $1,600 for the repairs Stemmer said the car now runs great. However, Stemmer said she has since discovered her Lincoln is not the only one that has had problems. “I started finding a lot of stuff that was wrong with the 2004 Lincoln LS in particular, and they were things that they just had to fix on mine,” she said. Stemmer said she’s learned some valuable lessons. First, whenever buying a used car always check out
Consumer Reports also has an extremely useful, very extensive auto history edition it publishes every year. These are invaluable tools to use before you decide to buy a particular vehicle. auto websites to see if there were problems reported with that year’s make and model. Consumer Reports also has an extremely useful, very extensive auto history edition it publishes every year. These are invaluable tools to use before you decide to buy a particular vehicle. The key is not to fall in
love with a used car at first site. First, check out the model’s history by using the various publications. Next, check out that particular vehicle by asking the seller for a Carfax report which details any accidents. Then, get the used car checked out by an ASE Certified auto mechanic. It may cost you about $100 – but it is well worth it to make sure
you’re not buying someone else’s problems. Finally, when you buy an extended service warranty from the manufacturer remember it is not all uncommon that the mileage and time limit both began on the date the vehicle was first put into service, not the date of your purchase.

Women’s club collects children toys Cincinnati Woman’s Club members conducted a toy drive on June 15 that yielded a bumper crop of spanking new playthings for youngsters served by Every Child Succeeds and Success by 6. Every Child Succeeds is a home visitation program for at-risk first-time mothers and their babies ranging in age from neonatal through age 3. The professional home visitors address personal and family health, environmental safety, child development, life course development, maternal role, social
supports, and adequate and appropriate access to health and human services. In Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky, Success By 6 works with numerous stakeholders – United Way of Greater Cincinnati, school districts, the business community, local non-profit agencies, parents, community leaders and public agencies – to raise awareness about the importance of the early years and to make early childhood a top priority for resources and funding. Because of generosity like that of Cincinnati
Woman’s Club members, the professionals for both these organizations bring toys for the children when they conduct their home visits. New toys collected by Cincinnati Woman’s Club members will make the summer of 2011 a season to remember for dozens of local children. This activity is one of many ways the Cincinnati Woman’s Club members continue the tradition of volunteerism and philanthropy in our community that dates back to 1897.

ing into season now, it’s a good time to try this out. And if your peaches aren’t quite ripe, put them in a paper bag in a single layer. They won’t actually ripen more, but will become soft enough to use. Check out the area closest to the stems. If it’s creamy yellow, it has ripened on the tree. If it’s green, it may have been picked before it was ripe.

Before Bigg’s was sold to Remke’s, I cloned its deli chicken salad. I poach my chicken in broth and let it cool in broth before dicing for added flavor and moistness. Taste as you go, adding 1 rib celery, 1 onion, the lesser amount of seasoning, etc. Add more if needed. 1 pound cooked chicken, diced or shredded 1 2 ribs celery, diced 1 2 green onions, sliced very thin Green grapes, cut in half, and salted cashew halves or pieces – you choose how much 1 cup Hellman’s mayonnaise or to taste 1 ⁄4 to 1⁄2 teaspoon or so each: Lawry’s seasoning salt and chicken base (use a good quality moist base like Minor’s) Mix chicken, celery and onions together. Whisk chicken base and salt with the mayo. Pour over chicken and mix gently. Stir in grapes and nuts. To make curried chicken salad: Start sprinkling curry powder in the mayo mixture, tasting as you go.

resulting cord pulls one or more fingers, usually the ring and small fingers, into a bent position. In some cases it is impossible for the affected person to extend the involved fingers. “Until now, Dupuytren’s contracture was treated surgically by opening the hand and removing the offending tissue,” explained Willis. “However, there is a new, non-invasive treatment option that is now able to give patients results which were previously only obtainable with conventional surgical treatment. This new procedure does not involve making an incision on the hand and typically has a much shorter recovery time.”

The new treatment option is called Xiaflex, an FDA-approved drug that consists of an enzyme that works to dissolve the thickened tissue in a patient’s hand. The whole process consists of injecting the hand with the enzyme, and the following day, stretching the fingers to lengthen the cord. This treatment process requires the patient to come in to the office for only a few minutes over a two-day period. After a patient receives the Xiaflex treatment, he or she is able to resume daily activities and have full use of the hand within two or three weeks, Willis says.

You don’t make a show of it, but you plan to give X amount of dollars and you give it,” Thatcher said. “When we went to the St. Vincent de Paul festival every year my dad made sure he spent every dollar he brought in his pocket.” In the1960s and ‘70s she joined a group that pushed for the creation of a community senior center, a dream that came true in 1982. She also committed much of her time to the Ladies Auxiliary VFW Post 7340 Charles R. Gailey in Colerain Township.

she diligently worked as a bar maid while attending special schooling to operate a Commodore, an earlymodel calculator, Kurtz said. She landed a job tallying sales at The Fair Store, a discount department store at Race and Sixth streets, downtown, until she married Thomas Morris and had two daughters. Like many military wives, Frances Morris raised Suzanne, their first child, for nearly four years while her husband fought in World War II. A few years after he returned, they moved to Groesbeck. “They bought a little Cape Cod, and that was her palace for 52 years,” Kurtz said.
