Susan Gibbons said she will miss the people in the Seton High School community the most. After she shakes the hands of the members of the class of 2010 at graduation this spring and finalizes all the grade reports in June, she will bid farewell to the school she’s loved for the past 30 years. Gibbons announced she will not return as principal of Seton for the 2010-2011 school year. “It just seemed like the right time,” she said. “Thirty years is a long time. I’ve always felt you should go out while you still have energy. “I’m really happy with where the school is.” Gibbons, whose last official day is June 30, said a favorite Seton memory she’ll always carry with her is the day 225 students and staff gathered on the floor of the gymnasium to cut their ponytails for Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths Project, which turns donated hair into wigs for cancer patients. “I think it was the single-most powerful event we did, just for the symbolism of it and because so many people did it for the right reasons,” she said. “I can remember walking into the gym and thinking, ‘This is what Seton is all about – giving.’” Sister Kathryn Ann Connelly, a Sister of Charity and former Seton principal, hired Gibbons as a math teacher in 1980. Two years

Tribute to a principal

Seton High School is renovating its library and renaming it The Susan M. Gibbons Media Learning Center in honor of the 30 years of service Gibbons gave to the Gibbons school. Kathy Ciarla, Seton’s spokeswoman, said the school is also planning an all-school tribute for Gibbons in May with students and staff, as well as an evening event for alumnae and friends of Seton. later Connelly promoted her to director of student activities. “I am very proud to say that I was responsible for hiring Susie. She has served the Seton community with class, dignity and demonstrated leadership skills,” Connelly said. “She is what I consider a personification of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. In her dealings with students and in her mannerisms I never questioned the spirituality or faith-based education going on in this institution. Susie is a woman of faith and dedicated to Catholic education, just like St. Elizabeth.” Gibbons was named the school’s assistant principal of academics in 1990, and was promoted to principal in 1997. She is the first lay person to serve as the school’s principal. “I have been blessed to work at a place that I love, and have loved since my first day at Seton,” she said.

“I have enjoyed 30 years of personal and professional growth and feel very fortunate that I was able to change jobs within this great institution.” Kathy Ciarla, Seton’s spokeswoman, said under Gibbons’ guidance the school has taken great strides in curriculum and technology, and it was during her tenure the school began its transformation into the “New Seton,” successfully completing a $13.5 million building and renovation project featuring five state-of-theart science labs, a 1,000-seat gymnasium and commons area, parking garage and new administrative offices. Ciarla said the school now offers 15 Advanced Placement courses, and students and staff keep up with technology through the use of wireless personal Tablet PCs, an advancement Gibbons helped implement. “All the technology we use changes the face of education, and it certainly shatters the ceilings and walls,” Gibbons said. Sister Patricia Cruise, a Sister of Charity and Seton’s president, said she is grateful to Gibbons for her exceptional leadership. She has done a tremendous job of moving Seton forward and helped create an outstanding school that provides young women with an exceptional Catholic education,” Cruise said. “She will be greatly missed, but she will always remain a part of the Seton family and her legacy will live on in all of the students and educational programs at Seton.”

Owner of the Crow’s Nest Glenn O’Dell will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at the Price Hill bar.

Irishman keeps community on west side, opens early By Peter Robertson probertson@communitypress.com

Glenn O’Dell already had a busy life. The owner of the Crow’s Nest on West Eighth Street in Price Hill and Westside Chili on Glenway Avenue in Bridgetown also runs a construction business. But when he heard Willie’s Sport Cafe in Glenway Crossing was facing imminent foreclosure, he bought the restaurant in April 2009. “There were 42 employees. They were going to all go on unemployment and I knew them,” O’Dell said. “They were kids, so I decided to bite the bullet and

No. I had my plate full already,” said O’Dell. “But it’s very important for me to keep all that …I feel like I’m giving back to the community.” Now, O’Dell is getting ready to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at the Crow’s Nest by opening the bar at 6 a.m. Wednesday, March 17. On the menu will be kegs and eggs and bangers and mash. There also will be live bands all day. He expects to meet capacity on the first

He was born and raised and has started a family on the west side, and he is anxious to breathe more life into the community here. So along with embracing the history of the west side through pictures and memorabilia all over the walls of his bars and restaurants, O’Dell tries to make his businesses a fun place for families to enjoy local music, drinks and a meal. And, of course, fish for lent. “Even people on the east side come over to the west side to get our fish sandwich,” O’Dell said.

Kevin Kappa, association president, said the fun started in January with a group trip to a Cyclones games. “We’d like to plan more of those kinds of activities, not only for our members, but all residents,” Kappa said. Along with fun, the association is planning a forum this month to provide information for current homeowners on preventing foreclosure and for first-time home buyers. No date has been set for that program. The group does have a Saturday, April 24, date for its Great American Clean Up. The roster of events also includes a blood drive in September, candidates night and another clean up day in October. The association again will be hosting three concerts in the Delhi Township Park staring Wednesday, June 16, with Mike Davis. The group’s second Delhi’s Taste of Rock and

Blues is slated for Saturday, July 10, with three bands. Kappa said they are hoping for better weather than the rain that dampened the first such afternoon and evening event. The third concert will be in conjunction with the Tuesday, Aug. 3, National Night Out. “We’d like to be able to host a fourth concert, but our budget just doesn’t allow that,” Kappa said. With a budget of about

ways to give back to the community,” he said. “It’s also a great way to get involved and get to know your neighbors, have some fun.” The group meets the first Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. The association is meeting at the senior/community center, 647 Neeb Road, until the remodeling project at the Delhi Township Park Lodge is completed.

School book fair has reading on the menu By Heidi Fallon

hfallon@communitypress.com

The library at C. O. Harrison Elementary School has been temporarily transformed into a 1950s diner complete with juke box and 45 rpm records dangling from the ceiling. While most of the students weren’t exactly sure what records are, their parents and grandparents appreciated the nostalgic touch. The school’s annual book fair diner theme attracted a notable guest every student did recognize – Ronald McDonald. The fast-food clown was part of the family reading night that opened the fair. School Principal Deborah Haffey said the family night included students performing plays based on a popular book with Cinderella preferring baseball to the fancy ball. “While students rehearsed and made scenery, parents were able to browse through the book fair,” she said. The fair also was open

one night, again for families. “We’re encouraging students to bring their parents and grandparents to come to the fair and spend some time reading together,” Haffey said. Students unsure what they might like to buy can get a sneak preview with

the appetizers outside the library. Cindy Brockhoff, school librarian, said fourth- and fifth-graders created short book reviews that are displayed on a hallway wall. Tyler Pohlmann wasn’t shopping just for something to read. With help from his mom, Michelle,

the fourth-grader decided a microscope was what he wanted to buy. “I can look at bugs,” he said. Melissa Ryan, a C. O. Harrison parent, also was on hand at the diner to help students. “It’s fun and important to be part of the school

activities,” Ryan said. “You get to see how your child interacts with other students and with the book fair, you can help them pick appropriate reading material.” Britney Lee needed a bit of help as she was trying to decide between two books. “I’ve always liked books since I was little,” the fourth-grader said. “My mom gave me money to buy the books I wanted.” After a bit of delibera-

tion and counting on her fingers, Lee decided she had enough money to buy both books. It isn’t all just books. Along with items like Pohlmann’s microscope, the book fair has school supplies, games and a chance to win a poster. Brockhoff said the school’s share of book fair profits helps her buy materials for the library.

St. X finds trend in postseason upsets By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

For the second straight season, the St. Xavier High School basketball team engineered an upset in the Division I sectional final. After downing a highly touted Middletown team in 2009, the No. 10 Bombers bested No. 4 Winton Woods 51-50 at the Cintas Center March 5. “(Winton Woods has) the ability to (deliver) a knockout punch very quickly,” St. X head coach Scott Martin said. But the Bombers withstood the jabs and body shots that had them at a 32-15 disadvantage in the second quarter and down 40-27 heading into the fourth. With the game tied at 50 with 4.8 seconds remaining, senior Alex Longi hit a free throw to give St. X the win. He finished with 15 points, while senior teammate Luke Massa added 14. “Alex and Luke have been consistent scorers all year long,” Martin said. “They are our floor leaders and have been our stability.” Winton Woods entered the game 17-2 on the season with two road losses by a combined three points, including a one-point loss to No. 1 La Salle Feb. 2. The Warriors went a perfect 10-0 in conference play,

winning the Fort Ancient Valley Conference Buckeye division with ease. St. X, meanwhile, advanced to play Winton Woods after knocking off No. 19 Anderson 53-35 in the sectional semifinals. The score was tied at 22 at the half, but the Bombers outscored Anderson 19-3 in the third quarter. “Our team was able to put defensive pressure and offensive pressure together,” St. X head coach Scott Martin said. “When a team does that, they have the opportunity to pull away. We talked about a few things to adjust at halftime, and our guys were able to execute them. They were very focused, and it showed.” It’s been an up-anddown season for St. X. The Bombers opened the year with a win at McNicholas, lost three straight and then won three straight en route to winning the National Jesuit Christmas Classic in Washington, D.C., to move to 4-3. They have since gone 7-7 and have not won or lost more than two games in a row during that stretch. St. X endured an ample amount of midseason heartbreak with three onepoint losses during a ninegame stretch from Jan. 5 to Feb. 5. In the last of these losses – 43-42 at home to Moeller – Crusader forward

Griffin McKenzie scored the game-winner on a put-back at the buzzer. St. X has now lost nine straight to Moeller, including six times by six points or fewer. Martin said those midseason losses have helped his players. “The team has learned that they have to focus the whole game,” Martin said. “They realized plays that happen at any time during the game can have an impact on the final result.” St. X finished third in the Greater Catholic League South division behind La Salle and Moeller, which finished tied for first. St. X, which has advanced to the Final Four four times since 2000, last won the GCLSouth since 2005, when it shared the conference title with Moeller. Aside from Longi and Massa, both of whom are averaging double figures, St. X has gotten key contributions from senior Brandon Polking of Bridgetown, who is shooting better than 50 percent from the floor. “Brandon has probably been our most consistent performer,” Martin said. “He works 100 percent every minute and always does the extra little thing nobody else will do.” Also playing a pivotal role has been senior David Niehaus of Sycamore, who has scored who scored in double figures in four of his

He left coaching at Withrow to become the supervisor of athletics for the Cincinnati public school system. • Paul Nohr, Western Hills High School (Deceased) – Started teaching and coaching football, cross country and gymnastics at Western Hills High School when it opened in 1928 remaining on the faculty until his retirement in 1969.

Posthumous

• William DeHart Hubbard, Walnut Hills Class of 1921 – Graduated from Walnut Hills High School where he played football, baseball, gymnastics and ran track while maintaining an excellent academic record. When the League Athletic Board declared him ineligible to play because he was African-American, the entire Walnut Hills football team refused to play without him. He earned a “full ride” scholarship and graduated with honors from the University of Michigan where he was a three-time National Collegiate Athletic Association champion (1923 and 1925 outdoor long jump, 1925 100yard dash) and seven-time Big Ten Conference champion in track and field (1923 and 1925 indoor 50-yard dash, 1923, 1924 and 1925 outdoor long jump, 1924 and 1925 outdoor 100-yard dash). His 1925 outdoor long jump of 25 feet 10 inches stood as the Michigan Wolverines team record until 1980, and it still stands second. His 1925 jump of 25 feet 3 inches stood as a Big Ten record until Jesse Owens broke it with what is now the current record of 26 feet 8 inches in 1935. He was the first African-American to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual event; the running long jump at the 1924 Paris summer games. He subsequently set a long jump world record of 25 feet 10 inches (7.89 m) at Chicago in June 1925 and equaled the world record of 9.6 seconds for the 100-yard dash at Cincinnati a year later. He died in Cleveland in 1976 and was posthumously inducted into the University of Michigan Hall of Honor in 1979. • Willard Stargel, Jr., Woodward High School Class of 1940 – Voted All League and a unanimous choice for All City in football. He played guard on the basketball team that won 21 straight

games before losing in the state semi-final game. He was city track and field champion in the high hurdles. He entered UC in 1940 only to have his college years interrupted by military service in Europe during World War II. He began his high school coaching career at Taft High School in 1955 and went on to Walnut Hills in 1965 as head football and wrestling coach until his retirement in June, 1979. In recognition of his long and valued service to the Cincinnati school system, the football/track stadium behind Taft High School is named in his honor. • Glenn Sample, Western Hills High School Class of 1949 – Was a three-sport star at West High in football, basketball and baseball. In 1948, he was All City, All State and All American as a center and linebacker and Most Valuable Player in the North-South Football All Star game played in Massillon. He was selected as Most Outstanding Defensive Player in West Hi history spanning the years from 1928 to 1979. He played third base on West High’s State Championship baseball team in 1948. Turned down major college and professional offers for baseball and football to play football and baseball at U.C. He played on 1950 Sun Bowl team coached by Sid Gillman. After graduation in 1953, he coached football as an assistant at UC for five years, was wrestling coach for five years and head baseball coach for 21 years, winning 404 games. • Harold Horne, Central High School Class of 1952 – Led his Central High School team to back-toback state championships in track and field in 1951 and 1952. He won the 100-yard dash in a time of 10.1 and ran a leg on the first place 880-yard relay team as a junior at the state meet in 1951. As a senior, won both the 100yard dash in a time of 9.8 and the 200-yard dash in a time of 21.8 at the state meet. He was appropriately nicknamed “The Wind” by his teammates.

Promote Delhi

I am not much of a gambler, but I am willing to bet you will never hear someone say: Wow, I think I will open or move my business to Delhi because there is a new McDonald’s, UDF or Delhi Pike is being re-paved. It is wishful thinking to think that two “staple” businesses rebuilding their 30-something-yearold stores is going to attract businesses to Delhi. Instead of the township administration rehashing (two years now) what to do with the recycling bins or whether or not the park lodge should get new urinals, they should be promoting Delhi and the benefits to the potential business owners. For example: The close proximity Delhi is to downtown Cincin-

CH@TROOM Last week’s question: Would you consider or are you considering a Toyota for your next car, given the company’s recent recalls and safety concerns? Why or why not? “No. I still think that we should keep as much money in the U.S.A. as we can. With the way that there problems are playing out I think they have hidden much from the public.” S.H. “Yes, I have owned several Toyota’s and they are dependable, good resale value, and reasonable maintenance cost. GM and Ford have had more than 100 recalls in the past several months involving thousands of cars and very little is said about their problems. Toyota employs thousands of workers in America. We need them and they need us.” B.B. “I was planning on purchasing a Toyota this spring. In light of the recalls and the general uncertainty regarding the integrity of the company, I decided to purchase another make of car. Giving Toyota a rest for while may be a good idea. When size and volume take hold, it seems complicity and greed follow suit. In a few years, they will no doubt emerge as a better, more humble car company.” L.D. “I have owned several Toyotas. However, if I were to buy today, I probably would not buy a Toyota. I’m mostly concerned that they knew about the problems and chose not to fix them until forced to do so. My Hyundai is looking like a better choice every day.” B.N. “After the first recall I figured that they would bounce back quickly, but they seem to be caught up in a downward spiral. I say no to a Toyota product.” C.A.S. “No! No! No! I think they knew they rushed production to meet a deadline, and which kind of ‘dead’ line are we talking about?” S.B. “We definitely would! My husband and I each have been buying Toyotas since 1980 and leasing since 1995 and I have had only one repair in all that time. We have had Corollas, Camrys, Rav4s and even a MR2! Two years ago when the lease was up, I went to a Nissan Ultima since the Camry didn’t change much and the lease amount was lower,

I still say Toyota are the most reliable car ever.” L.S.B. “Yes, if I was to buy a new car I would look at the Toyotas, because over the years they have been a reliable car and a lot of the innovations they brought about other car companies were forced to adapt to stay competitive.” L.S. “No. I would buy a Ford because they took no government stimulus money and are doing better than the other manufacturers.” W.H. “Unfortunately for America, foreign automakers such as Honda and Toyota make superior vehicles, so all my cars will continue to be either Toyota or Honda. One or two problems over the last 40 years pales in comparison to the millions of recalls we’ve had for American cars. Until the auto unions are abolished and we stop paying people to make inferior cars, I’ll stick with Toyota and Honda. Wake up, American auto industry.” G.C. “We have had Toyotas in the past and been happy with them; however, whether we buy another one depends on how well their vehicles meet our needs. Reliability is critical; we stopped buying American cars for this very reason. The Japanese will be sorry if they don’t learn from the Detroit companies.” D.H. “Only if I got a hell of a deal so that my bank account accelerates. Then I will make sure to throw the new Toyota in to neutral when it accelerates!” L.D. “Absolutely! We have owned Toyota cars over the past 30 years with very good results. We currently own a 2002 Camry which has a very smooth ride with no problems. We may just start looking for a new Toyota!” K.K.

Needs information

On the evening of Feb. 23, around 7:30 p.m., my 2-year-old dog, Paix, was killed on our street. I live on Riverwatch Drive across from Spyglass Court. Paix was tied in the backyard to go to the bathroom and must have spot-

ted someone or something around our house. He pulled at the leash and it broke. My next-door neighbor called to say he was pulling into his garage when he saw Paix lying motionless near my mailbox. Hysterically, I tried stopping traffic by standing in the middle of the street while I covered my dog. I was in shock. We are in our early 60s and he was our first dog. A man in a red van got out and carried Paix to the curb. I now understand how dog owners feel. Animals become a huge part of your family. Enduring such grief compelled me to write to the Delhi Press asking for any information as to how Paix died. I am posting my cell number, 4609985. Please call if you saw or know anything about his last moments. I would like closure

Welcome sign

I hate to burst Mike Davis’ bubble, but UDF and McDonald’s aren’t going to attract businesses to Delhi, but two “Welcome to Delhi” signs might. The brilliance of all the Delhi trustees never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the good work guys. Mike Scapicchio Plumridge Drive Delhi Township

Alcohol fight consumed 19th century Liquor was a very controversial subject in the United States, during the whole 19th Century. In our area, Delhi Township was the only place where drinking was allowed. The town had mixed feelings and fought the hottest battle in Ohio history over liquor. Women of Delhi were tired of falling over drunks hanging at the bus stop on Gracely Drive. They circulated petitions, hung posters, and demanded a prohibition election after a man was killed in drunken brawl. The election was held and the wets won. The village of Fernbank was plotted with deed restrictions against manufacturing or drinking of spirits wines, malt and intoxicating liquor. The village of Home City passed an ordinance prohibiting the manufacturing and drinking of liquor in 1887. It only permitted the use of liquor for medical or religious purposes. These actions were typical of the 1800s. In the beginning of the 1800s, there was a world-wide movement pushing for moderation in drinking habits or complete abstinence. Ministers used moral persuasion to address the problem. It kept growing because women and children who had endured the punishment of men who were uncontrollable drinkers, pushing it. At the time alcohol was blamed for many of societies, severe health problems, destitution and crime.

Moral persuasion didn’t really work. But Carry Nation came on the scene with her hatchet and got results. She was born on a plantation in Kentucky Betty Kamuf in 1846. She grew Community up a staunch Bible believer. In 1867 Press guest she married a columnist young physician, Charles Gloyd, in Belton, Mo. Unfortunately, he was a heavy drinker, and could not hold a steady job. When their only child was born sickly, Carry blamed his alcoholic habits. She divorced him and moved on. In 1877, she married David Nation. He was a preacher, lawyer and editor 19 years older than her. The family moved to Medicine Lodge, Kansas in 1889. He became the pastor of a church and Carry taught Sunday school. She became a jail evangelist and helped to establish a local chapter of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. She grew tired of saloon keepers ignoring the Prohibition laws Kansas residents voted for in 1880. She was going to change that. In 1890, she prayed in front of saloons. The next year she threw rocks and bricks at saloons. When that didn’t close saloons she went

for the hatchet. The nearly 6-feettall, strapping woman stormed the saloons and chopped up the brew until she closed all saloons in Medicine Lodge. With her success came requests from citizens in other towns to help them close their saloons. She entered states even where liquor sales were legal. Her hacking and chopping sent her to jail repeatedly for disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. Her fines were paid by the sale of pewter hatchet pins. Even her sworn enemies acknowledged her success with enforcing the law. The Nations were divorced in 1901 and David died in 1903. Carry’s last speaking tours ended in 1910. In June of 1911, Carry Nation died isolated and dirt poor in Leavenworth, Kansas. Prohibition would become nationwide eight years later with ratification of the 18th Amendment. • Sunday March 14, from noon to 5 p.m., Sayler Park School will hold an open house. All the renovation plans will be on display. There will be a silent auction of clocks, brass door knobs and other school memorabilia. Hope to see you there. Betty Kamuf is a winner of Griffin Yeatman Award for Historical Preservation. She lives in Sayler Park. You can reach her at sp.column@fuse.net.

Covedale: Victim of identity theft Our identity is a reflection of the community in which we live. Our community’s image is perhaps the single most identifiable thing by which people judge and accept us. It’s what gives us our “sense of place” and standards of behavior to guide us. Our sense of place is equally affected by our primal need to territorialize. According to anthropologist Franco La Cecla, “The lack of a sense of boundary is the chief cause of disorientation.” Now area residents, when observing the many Price Hill signs that line Glenway Avenue, west of Rapid Run, are scratching their heads and saying, “I thought this was Covedale.” It’s puzzling that our elected city officials and self-proclaimed “west-side advocates” choose not to acknowledge that Covedale exists, even though history and public opinion clearly proves that it does. So, what is the underlining motive of what appears to be a cruel joke? The obvious intent is to improve the image of Price Hill

by simply branding Covedale, a perceived nicer area, as “Price Hill” – a seemingly convenient solution considering that the city no longer recogJim Grawe nizes Covedale. Community You might ask, difference Press guest “What does a name columnist make? Why not just accept the Price Hill identity?” Let’s be honest. We live in a class society and, right or wrong, there is a west-side social order. Many Covedale residents moved from Price Hill just as others moved from Price Hill to Delhi, Bridgetown, etc., in the pursuit of self-expression and upward mobility – a right that they freely exercised. But now, because the Price Hill signs steal the Covedale identity, Covedalians are denied this same right. The residents of Covedale are not naïve. We fully understand

that the real estate community selectivity markets homes in Price Hill as Covedale. However, for the Price Hill Civic Club to counter punch by pretending that “Covedale exists only perceptually” and to flippantly ignore the sensitivities of this issue by erecting Price Hill signs in Covedale (with our tax dollars), which adversely affects the marketability and the value of our homes, is perhaps more irresponsible, reprehensible and arrogant. The people of Covedale choose not to be the innocent victims of the Price Hill Civic Club’s grudge match with the real estate community. And we are adamant in seeing that our Covedale heritage does not vanish. Covedale is more than a neighborhood. It is a story. And now, the struggle to preserve the history, identity and character that is uniquely Covedale is a part of the story. Jim Grawe is the co-founder of the Covedale Neighborhood Association.

Our enemy fear attended the Olympics

The Olympics are majestic but they are no match for fear. W e e n j o y watching the games for various reasons: our patrio t i s m , competiFather Lou tive spirit, Guntzelman love of Perspectives sports, or even for the vicarious thrill of imagining ourselves in some of the athletes. Yet, if we are competing, how well would we handle our fears? The Olympics, like life itself, confronts humans with various fears. In our lives, “Each morning two grinning gremlins sit at the foot of our bed. One is called Lethargy and one is called Fear. Either will gladly eat us alive … for they daily renew their interest in possessing our soul,” writes analyst Dr. James Hollis. The success of our lives will be found in our struggle to achieve as much meaning and depth as possible by going beyond the bounds

these two enemies try to set upon us. Do Olympics participants battle these same gremlins as we do in our lives, jobs and responsibilities? Definitely! For example, in the Feb. 26 edition of USA Today, sports columnist Mike Lopresti wrote of the unnoticed departure of the Netherlands bobsled team. “Its team has pulled out of the four-man bobsled competition before even starting – not because of injury or controversy or lousy times. The pilot is Edwin van Calker, and he has lost his nerve to compete,” Lopresti states. “They’ve seen the crashes at the Whistler Sliding Centre. They are haunted by the death of the Georgian luger. Edwin had an awful time of it last week in the two-man competition,” notes the columnist. Edwin’s brother and teammate, Arnold, agreed with him. He is 33 years old and has a wife and daughter who saw the luger’s death back in Holland on television. Some will condemn their withdrawal from the Olympics, others will try to

understand. But we must remember that the gremlin of fear sits at the foot of every one of our beds, and in every one of our endeavors. “Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world,” says Emerson. Was the bobsledder’s decision to withdraw his succumbing to cowardice or the summoning up of courage (not caring what others will say and think of him)? Or, back in the beginning of his bobsledding career choice years ago, was he fearful of changing his choice or of future failure? We do not know. What we do know is that life is not our enemy, fear is. Throughout life we must ask ourselves in every dilemma we face between the difficult and the easy; in every relationship in which we’re called to make risks and sacrificial choices; in every commitment we’re called upon to make; every responsibility to a spouse or child, “Is it basically fear or lethargy that’s holding me back? Does my choice diminish me or enlarge me?”

times fear of death, either for myself or a loved one. “Most of all, I have wrestled against the fear of not mattering, of being cast out because I did not fit in, of being overlooked because I was not significant, and of being shamed because I was not worthy. I have at times been paralyzed by this feeling. I have let it hold me back. And what I now want is liberation from that fear.” Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the per-

Only the boldest among us can acknowledge the role that fear plays in our lives and then to do something about it. In the beginning of his book, “Face Your Fear: Living with Courage in an Age of Caution,” Rabbi Shmuley Boteach writes for all of us when he reveals, “I have struggled my whole life against fear, as many of you have. I have known fear of failure, fear of humiliation, fear of injury, and some-

ception that some things are more important to us than what we fear. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Contact him at columns@communitypress.co m or P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

Have a taste o’ the green this St. Paddy’s Day The wild yellow aconite which dear friend Ike Leaf gave me starts of so long ago is now starting to cover our little patch of woods with bright yellow and green.

of Greenhills High School cheerleader Patty Rebholz; the slaying of the Bricca family of Bridgetown and the Dummler Family of Mt. Lookout; and the terror of the Cincinnati Strangler. Townsend is a freelance writer and lifelong resident of Cincinnati. He is the former true crime historian for Snitch Magazine, and his work has appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer, Cincinnati Magazine, Word Magazine, and Clews. In addition, he appeared in the 2008 British Documentary “Conversations With a Serial Killer.” Queen City Gothic is his first book. He lives in Wyoming. The murder cases featured in Queen City Gothic were front-page news stories in their day. Using the Library’s newspaper microfilm collection, Townsend uncovered details about the murders straight from the headlines of their time. He kept a scrapbook of this research and used the details to paint readers a picture of each crime scene and the murder’s effect on the Cincinnati community.
