Earl Oakes said he’s proud of the way his fellow Kiwanis members have responded to the Holy Family Food Pantry’s request for help. “We have a great group of people here,” said Oakes, a Covedale resident and board member of the Price Hill-Western Hills Kiwanis Club. “I’m just tickled to death with how our club members stepped up to help the people at Holy Family.” He said Diana Penick, the coordinator of the Holy Family Food Pantry, came to a Kiwanis meeting earlier this year to talk to the club members about the pantry’s needs, and she mentioned how the pantry really needed toilet paper. Oakes said the pantry was running so low they were splitting rolls in half and passing them out to clients. “Well, you know that doesn’t go very far,” he said. To help the pantry out, Oakes organized a toi-
let paper drive within the Kiwanis Club. Once a month members bring in packs of toilet tissue, and Oakes loads it all into his minivan and delivers a supply to the pantry. “We took 400 rolls down there two weeks ago,” he said. “They call me the toilet paper man now.” At the club’s meeting Tuesday, July 21, which was this month’s toilet paper collection day, club president Sandy Flick read a note from Penick thanking the Kiwanis members for their continued support of the pantry. “Just when our supply was very low, we come in and see you have been there, blessing us with your gifts,” Penick said in the thank you note. “The pantry continues to grow as do the many needs of our clients. How fortunate we feel to be the beneficiary of your kindness.” Oakes said in addition to toilet paper, the club also collects and delivers shampoo, conditioner, soap and other toiletries to the pantry. He said the club donates $1,000 to the pantry each year

as well. “We’re just glad to be able to do it,” he said. “It doesn’t hurt to step forward and help people who aren’t as privileged as you. I’m very proud of this group we have here.”
Ceremonies honor fallen Marine ˙By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com Tim Roos’ blue eyes and beaming smile radiate from the portrait. It’s just perfect and it’s going in a special spot in their home, said Rick and Jan Roos, parents of the fallen Marine corporal killed in action in 2006. It was an emotional moment for the family as well as artist Phil Taylor. The Texan stopped several times fighting back tears as he presented the family of Marine Cpl. Tim Roos with the oil portrait. Tim’s parents, his widow and daughter, Sara and Annaliese; his sister-in-law and niece, Michelle and Ava Roos, along with a parking lot full of family and friends gathered to see Taylor unveil the portrait. Taylor said Tim’s is the 53rd portrait he’s completed for the American Fallen Soldiers Project.

Texas artist Phil Taylor embraces the widow of Marine Cpl. Tim Roos, Sara, and the 3-year-old daughter, Annaliese, the Delhi Township solider never saw except for a photograph. Taylor said a Cincinnati-based company, Loew Cornell, provides him art supplies, which prompted
him to look in this area for his next portrait. “I read Tim’s story and his
family’s story and I knew,” Taylor said. Members of the Delhi Township Veterans Association helped to arrange the military ceremony at the township’s Veterans Memorial Plaza. “We need these symbols,” said association secretary Jeff Lefler whose brother died serving in Vietnam. “It helps us heal as a family and it helps our nation and veterans. “Losing a loved one in the military leaves a would that never heals, but ceremonies like this, help us move on.” Taylor also presented a portrait to Sara and a third to go to his brother, Adam, currently awaiting deployment to Iraq. Jan and Rick Roos plan on putting Tim’s portrait on the mantel in their family room.
Art fair, concert features Price Hill women By Katie Hull Bring on the art and entertainment. The Price Hill Women’s Art Fair, sponsored by Price Hill Will’s Arts Community Action Team, is scheduled to take place at Seton High School at 6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13. The organization is sponsoring a free concert after the art fair on the front lawn of the high school, where The Kentucky Struts, an indie/country music group from Cold Spring, Ky., will perform. “The key is that all the women involved are those who either live
or work in the neighborhood,” said Kara Ray, Price Hill Will’s community organizer. The concerts began last year when Price Hill Will got the idea from residents. “We had numerous individuals recall when they were kids they would go to different summer concerts,” said Ray, “so we thought, why not start?” This concert will be the third in Price Hill Will’s summer concert series this year and is free. “One of the main goals is to bring the arts back to the community and make it accessible to the neighborhood,” said Ray. “The

Skirt game stats
hfallon@communitypress.com
Women of TV will take to the softball field sporting the latest fashions at the 32nd annual Delhi Skirt Game Friday, Aug. 7. The fashions may not be all that trendy since many of the players, like Mike Foster, have said they routinely raid their mothers’ and grandmothers’ closets to dress for the occasion. Delhi Athletic Association members who participate in the popular fundraiser also scout out evening dresses and miniskirts, wigs and fishnet hose at area thrift stores. No matter where they get their outfits, the players are only part of the organizational logistics. Marty Smith, Delhi Skirt Game Committee president, and Clyde Kober, committee
The 32nd annual Delhi Skirt Game will be 5-11 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, at Delhi Township Park, 5125 Foley Road. The evening includes: • members of the Delhi Athletic Association, police and fire departments and local celebrities taking the field dressed as Women of TV Past and Present; • Bob Herzog, WKRC-TV, will be at the microphone, along with radio personality and Delhi Township resident Amanda Orlando and Hamilton County Judge Pat Dinkelacker; • off-field entertainment includes Chuck Brisbin and the Tuna Project, games and raffles; and • a fireworks display concludes the evening. Parking and admission is free and all proceeds, minus expenses, go to the recipients. Volunteers, especially for the Saturday morning clean up, are welcome.

organizers John “Satch� Coletta and Joe Ruhe. “We’re still learning,� said Kober, Smith’s cochairman for the event. The event has been raising money to help residents in need of financial assistance. “Most of the recipients
have medical needs,� Kober said. The first Skirt Game was a hastily organized game between police and fire departments to help a young Delhi Township boy injured in a bike accident. Since then, Smith and Kober said more than
$630,000 has been raised to help more than 160 people. The committee expects to have four people on their list this year. They or their families will be represented at the Aug. 7 game along with past recipients. Folks can get a preview
of the fun to come the Thursday night before the game. Kober and Smith said several of the DAA divas will again be strutting their stuff from 6-8 p.m. on Delhi Road by Hot Wings taking donations and promoting the game.

Delhi to host a Night Out with concert in the park hfallon@communitypress.com
National Night Out festivities again will be combined with a concert in the park Tuesday, Aug. 4. The fun begins at 7 p.m. at the Delhi Township Park, 5125 Foley Road.
Township police and fire departments will have equipment displays, demonstrations and games for children of all ages. Also on hand will be the Delhi Township Citizens Police Association and Citizens on Patrol. “National Night Out is an opportunity to get neighbors
together and strengthen neighborhood spirit, and police and community partnerships,” said police Lt. Jeff Braun. “The program is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for anti-crime programs such as Neighborhood Watch and send a
Twp. applies for funding for firehouse hfallon@communitypress.com
Delhi Township is applying for a share of the $210 million federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to build a new firehouse. Fire Chief Bill Zoz said the township had only a few weeks to complete the application asking for $3.1 million to build a new fire station to replace the aging Greenwell Avenue firehouse. “If we are successful,” Zoz said, “it would give us
the funding to build a new station without using taxpayer money.” The current Greenwell firehouse, one of three stations in the township, would be smaller than the Rapid Run Road station, he said. “Plus,” Zoz said, “we are designing it to be a totally green environmentally.” Currently, he said, the Greenwell Avenue station houses one fire engine and one emergency vehicle. The station isn’t big enough to allow the first response vehicle to be parked inside.
The stations’ air conditioning system is 30 years old and the windows are 25 years old, Zoz said. “We estimate needing at least $85,000 to repair the station, including a new roof,” the chief said. The township was notified in late May of the funding availability and had a July 10 deadline to submit the plans. No decision has been made as to a location for the new station. The township will know by December if it’s awarded the funding.

New canine officer selected By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
Brian Weldele can’t wait to meet his new partner and start his new assignment with the Delhi Township Police Department. Weldele, an eight-year veteran of the department and a township resident, has been named to be the handler of the new canine unit. “It’s something I’ve always been interested in doing,” Weldele said. “I always had a dog growing up and having a canine will assist us as a department.” With help from the Cincinnati Police canine officers, the Delhi department developed a rigorous selection process. It included a physical fitness test and both work and home interviews designed to address the additional requirements and responsibilities of handling a police canine, said Lt. Joe Macaluso. Cincinnati also will help township officers select the dog from a Pennsylvania facility in September and provide free training for both Weldele and the dog. The dog will be trained for both tracking and drug detection. The cost of the dog is being

Jeff Braun said the department also has received and will welcome donations to help defray the expected additional costs of a canine unit. The department estimates the cost of the dog and the 14-weeks of training would have cost close to $40,000. “Without the generosity of the Haverkamp family
and the assistance of Cincinnati, this wouldn’t be possible,” Macaluso said. While he waits for September, Weldele is getting used to the new cruiser the department ordered designed just for a canine unit. Braun said it has special heat sensors to regulate the cruiser’s interior temperature and an automatic car door to allow the dog to get out in an emergency. Weldele said he and his new partner should be trained, certified and ready to hit the streets late this year or early in 2010.

WFC set for second annual kickoff By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
For the second straight year, the Western Football Conference is hosting a preview featuring players from more than a dozen local grade schools. The event – the WFC Kickoff – will be at Oskamp Field on Glenway Avenue on Aug. 15; 1,400 kids are expected to play. “We needed (an event like this) in the heart of the west side,” said Bob Lyons, who is coordinating the kickoff. “We play in a special conference, and we decided we needed everyone to be together for one day on one field.” Finding a location to hold several thousand people proved an arduous task, but Lyons found his field. “This is a monumental event that we’ve been planning for five months,” he said. “Oskamp is a perfect venue. It’s right in the middle of the west side of town.” The kids participating in the kickoff range in age level from third grade to eighth grade and attend a variety of schools, including St. Dominic, St. Teresa, St. Antoninus, St. Catherine, Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Victory and Our Lady of Visitation. The players will be divided into three groups: pony (third and fourth grades), pee wee (fifth and sixth grades) and varsity (seventh and eighth grades). For pony and reserve games, there will be 25 minutes of run-

This year’s event is expected to draw about 1,400 players from more than a dozen local grade schools. ning clock featuring 10 minutes of offense, 10 minutes of defense and a five-minute window to change possession and personnel; varsity games will have 40 minutes of running clock, and coaches will have more leeway regarding the playing format. The kickoff figures to be a staple of west-side football for years to come. Last year, 800 kids played a total of 50 games; this year, participation is expected to increase 75 percent, and 70 games will be played.
“I think word got out about how cool of an event this is,” Lyons said. “Last year we started on time, and we ended on time. It was very efficient.” Participating schools also stand to benefit from the kickoff. “Every school that participated last year got donations and goods,” Lyons said. “We also gave proceeds to three schools in the league that are not very well off financially.” Those schools were St. Catherine, St. Teresa and Lourdes, all of
which received an equal share. “We might spread the money around the whole league this year, but we’re not sure yet,” Lyons said. Pony games begin at 9 a.m., with the reserve and varsity games scheduled to follow at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., respectively. Parking is available at several sites nearby, including Dicks Sporting Goods and Mercy Hospital. People assisting in the kickoff planning stages include WFC Pres-
ident Ric Jones, Vice President Ron Klosterman, Treasurer Ozzie Bowns and Secretary David James. Lyons, who is also the football coordinator and pee wee coach for Visitation, is impressed with the how well the event has been received. “It’s all about the community,” he said. “It’s amazing what can happen when you ask for help. I’ve met so many people who were ready and willing to help out. It’s worked out well.”

Melissa “Mertz” Wegman, right, has spearheaded the Mother of Mercy Golf Outing for the past decade. She is pictured with her sister, Jennifer Wegman-Smith, left, and her father, Joe Wegman, center, who work at the golf outing each year.
Mercy Golf Outing open to all By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
The 18th annual Mother of Mercy High School Golf Outing will take place at Grand Oak Golf Club Friday, Aug. 21. “It’s not an alumni event, it’s open to everybody,” said Melissa “Mertz” Wegman, who is chairman of the event. “Most of the people who play don’t even have kids who (attend Mercy).” The outing originated as a memorial for former Cheviot Police Chief Don Mackie, who was an assistant soccer coach at Mercy for two years. Mackie died of cancer in 1992. “He was big in the community,” Wegman said. Proceeds from the outing were initially used as educational grants for Mercy soccer players in need, but the event’s mission eventually expanded to include all Bobcat student-athletes requiring financial assistance. The funds are typically awarded as $1,000 scholarships, and recipients must be in good academic and athletic standing. The outing is particularly meaningful for Wegman, who played soccer and ran track for four years at Mercy before graduating in 1986. An All-American soccer player for the Bobcats, she received a full scholarship from Lynn University (formerly the College of Boca Raton) and spent some time playing in Europe. She
then returned to Cincinnati and served as Mercy’s varsity soccer coach from 1991 to 1999. Her sisters, Jen and Krissy, graduated from Mercy in 1987 and 1990, respectively, and both were three-sport athletes for the Bobcats. They help out with the outing in any way they can. “We continue to do it because we had a great experience at Mercy,” she said. “This is an opportunity for another Mercy student-athlete to have some of the experiences that we had who might not have them otherwise.” With golf, raffles, silent auctions and great food, the outing has a sizable following. Nearly 180 golfers participated in the event last year, as the entry fee for each four-person team is $400. Teams compete for prizes, which are awarded to the top three finishers in the men’s, women’s and mixed divisions. Prizes include gift cards to local businesses, such as Kroger. Proceeds from the event typically total $20,000. “That’s our goal, but we try to exceed that each year,” Wegman said. For those who aren’t avid golfers, the event features food courtesy of the Wegman family, particularly her father, Joe, who specializes in jumbalaya, steak and seafood. “This is a great event for an even greater cause,” Mertz said. “That’s why we do it.”
The world’s best golfer missing the cut at the British Open reminded amateurs around the world how difficult this game is. And it’s brutal. Golf is tough and the course is capable of defeating anyone, even Tiger Woods. But of course that’s not a good reason to stop trying. So for Lesson No. 3 golf pro Gene Samborsky and I met at the covered range at Robin’s Nest Golf Course to avoid inclement weather Wednesday, July 22. To start the lesson, I step up to the ball and hit a straight shot I would have been quite proud of in June. But after several lessons, I scoff at the results and complain about the ball landing 15 yards left of my intended target. My slice is all but cured and now I’m getting greedy. “We have to remember where we came from. How soon we can forget how lousy we were,” Samborsky jokes. “The ball went straight and it didn’t have any curve. Your body alignment made the ball go left,” Samborsky adds. He dropped a club down on the mat and aligned it with my stance. Sure enough, I’m pointing 15 yards left of my mark. But Samborsky makes it clear that taking care of alignment issues needs to happen well before
I’m sizing up the ball for a swing. “Did you graduate magna cum laude?” Samborsky asks. Close, but we know that’s for Anthony bunker shots and Amorini hand grenades. “If you had Reporters’ Notebook then it would be OK to think of two things while you swing. But let’s just stick to one,” Samborsky jokes. We’re focusing on the downswing, making sure to take a divot while striking the ball before the ground. I’ve made drastic improvements shifting my weight so I turn my attention to solid contact. Lesson No. 2 was somewhat similar, but still more geared toward lower body motion than the arms. So I take a few swings. “When you hit a good shot you should replay the experience in your head immediately to see what felt right,” Samborsky said. “Then try to duplicate that feel.” Samborsky explains PGA Tour golfers hit the range trying to find the right feel and “replay the experience” on a weekly basis. And he was quick to point out only watching weekend golf can make the PGA guys look infallible.
Aston Oaks Golf Club
Aston Oaks Golf Club is an 18-hole course at 1 Aston Oaks Drive in North Bend. PGA Professional Gene Samborsky offers lessons. He has 41 years of experience as an instructor including a 35-year stint as head golf pro at Western Hills Country Club. For tee times visit www.astonoaksgolfclub.com or call 467-0070. “We are watching all of the guys who are having great weeks when we turn on the TV for the weekends,” Samborsky said. “You miss out on all the guys who are struggling Thursday and Friday because they miss the cut.” Unless it’s Tiger Woods and the meltdown is broadcast over and over. “Hopefully you’ll become a student of your own swing. Just remember rhythm and pace when practicing and don’t redline,” Samborsky says. With one lesson to go I still have a tendency to swing too hard, or redline if you will. But if such downfalls can catch a Tiger by the tail, why not me? Anthony Amorini is a sports writer for The Community Press. You can reach him at aamorini@communitypress.com

Last week’s question
Are you worried about a possible worsening of the swine flu pandemic this fall and winter? Why or why not? “The authorities have been working on a vaccine to combat it. At this point I do not think they are sure of the medication necessary to solve the problem. It would seem to me controlling the visitation of the areas experiencing the problem and making sure those that do, receive the vaccine, should help. “The greatest problem in the development of a vaccine is discovery of the type of flu we are experiencing.” F.J.B.
“Honestly, I’m not worried about a possible worsening of the swine flu this fall and winter, because worrying won’t do a darn thing to avert the crisis, if indeed it does happen, though I hope it doesn’t. “I’m more worried about the damage being done to the structures of our country, like banking, the auto industry, and health care, by an ambitious narcissist who has no idea of the long-term negative effects that his unchecked meddling will produce.” B.B. “No, I’m not worried about swine flu going pandemic.

CDC labs can only test 100 flu samples/day and they don’t count any death unless its own lab confirms the infection. “Pandemics are a regular feature of life on earth, and they occur with surprising regularity throughout world history. “There are common-sense recommendations for avoiding and treating the flu. Do your research and stay calm.” K.D. “H1N1 (swine) flu should be a concern for all of us regardless of age or place in life. Last spring’s start-up was mild in comparison to what the experts are predicting for fall season. “I think we continue our personal missions to wash hands often and encourage those people experiencing symptoms to stay away from schools, churches and the workplace. It is all of our responsibilities to be vaccinated and stay informed. We need to help each other during yet another tough time in our history.” E.E.C.

Call your representative
What more surprises does Steve Driehaus and his Washington buddies have for us? We are against your government health plan, socialized medicine or what ever you are calling it this week. You are not telling the whole truth about the plan, not using accurate figures and you just tell the public what you want them to hear. Sorry guys, but more people are becoming better informed: There will be $1 to $1.5 trillion dollars future cost to tax payers. Fines for doctors not following the government’s rules. Will there really be more help for the needy? Destroying any health care we currently have by taxing them out of business and then saying we have a choice. How dumb do you think we are? Giving 10 million illegal aliens free care. The government will be reviewing the care for older people and deciding who gets care. What do you make of this? Look at the problems HIPPA has caused and it is a government rule. How many other countries have government care and it does not work. This is nothing more then the government wanting complete control over us and taking more of our money for taxes.
Call your U.S. representative and tell them no more. Do it now, do it often and tell your friends to also call. Cut government spending and cut taxes. The unemployment numbers are still rising and this is the truth. Bill McCauslin Pineknot Drive Delhi Township

Setting up house in new Green Twp. This is the third part of a series on the history of Green Township. On his farm Isaac Jackson found the woods full of game, and many pioneers survived on game between harvests. He had no guns. In a letter to his son, Isaac asked Thomas to buy a fowling piece and a rifle. He also needed bullets to put in the guns. He wanted 200 or 300 flints suitable for hunting and 25 large flints for his musket. He talked of people shooting deer and catching quail with nets. There were many rabbits running around and he wanted a house dog. He specifically asked for a female terrier, because he felt that would be the best kind of rabbit hunting dog. He was amazed at all the wildlife he saw flying about. One day he saw a whole flock of parrots, and was amazed to see them flying this far west. The other thing that amazed him was fishing. He went fishing in the Ohio River one day with a group of local men. They caught perch, pike and catfish. The perch were 10 pounds and as hard as bricks. The pike were smaller and pretty good. The catfish were another problem. The 40 or 50 pound ones were too big, only the 12 pounds ones were
any good. He said you can catch smaller fish in the creeks, with nets and wanted his son to make one. He wanted four or five dozed fish hooks to catch Betty Kamuf more fish. There were Community stores in CincinPress guest nati, but he could columnist not find decent shoes that fit right and wanted Thomas to order him three pairs of strong shoes and one pair of boots. If he was going to live in the woods he needed tools to work with trees. For building the house and cutting trees, Isaac wanted three good hatchets, six small gimlets (a tool for boring holes in wood), a wood ax, wood saws and files. In a letter to his wife, dated August of 1813, he talked about his property and crops. He had been there since the middle of July and had planted corn, but it was suffering from the lack of rain. He felt that it was better than most corn in the area but wished it would rain. The river was low, but he hoped it would not be so low that her trip would be
delayed. He told her the day before he had an all-day party of 50 men that raised his new house. It was 36feet by 18-feet and two stories high. He hoped to get it shingled in time to put the goods she was bringing under cover, but there were no boards to be had at any price in town, and he had no hopes of getting into the house this season. This was probably because of the turmoil in Cincinnati. The financial stain of the War of 1812 caused the three banks in Cincinnati to suspend specie (coin) payments. During the war the Courthouse at Fifth and Main was used as a barracks by soldiers and was burned to the ground. Isaac Jackson again found himself caught up in the war.

Farmers markets mean healthy eating Crisp green beans. Sweet corn on the cob. Juicy red tomatoes. Nothing says summer quite like local produce. Visiting your neighborhood farmers market is a delicious decision to improve your health by including more fruits and vegetables into your daily life. Healthy eating habits are vital to overall health and wellness. In Hamilton County, 91 percent of adults do not consume the recommended five fruits and vegetables per day for six or more days a week. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a healthy eating plan: • Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat dairy.
• Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts. • Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium) and added sugars. • Stays within your daily calorie needs. Research shows that Hamilton County has a high rate for some chronic diseases but eating more fruits and vegetables can have a positive impact on health. Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in calories and fat, and provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals, fiber and other nutrients. According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, those who eat more generous amounts of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Next week
New hospital will be jewel for township I am a lifelong resident of western Cincinnati and an active member of the medical staffs for Mercy Hospital Western Hills and Mercy Hospital Mount Airy. As such, I would like to offer my support for the proposed new hospital at I-74 and North Bend Road. After my medical training in Rochester, N.Y., I returned “home” because of two treasured values that have become synonymous with the west side: family and culture. One cultural element that is perplexing is the perception that quality care and exceptional service cannot be experienced at a Mercy facility. I treat patients at Mercy hospitals Western Hills and Mount Airy, as well as Good Samaritan and the Christ hospitals. This provides me with a reference of comparison regarding the delivery of health care for the residents of our communities. I honestly feel that the care provided by the doctors, nurses and staff at Mercy Hospital Western Hills, where I spend much of my time, compares favorably with the other hospitals. The proposed new Mercy hospital will offer the opportunity to expand the health care services that are needed for the community and it will provide cutting-edge technology and experienced personnel to deliver those services. Maybe then, we can change this unsubstantiated perception and help everyone realize that Mercy provides exceptional care and compassionate service. As you consider the idea of a new, state-of-the-art Mercy hospital, please note the following: • Mercy is an organization grounded in fiscal responsibility with patient safety and satisfaction as its primary focus. In fact, Mercy Hospital Western Hills was listed as one of the 100 Best Kept Secrets and 100 Best Value Hospitals in the country by the Data

From veterinary care to timely vaccinations—and clean and comfortable living conditions to plenty of fresh food and water—healthy, well-cared-for flocks and herds are essential to livestock farming. That’s why it comes as no surprise that Ohio livestock farmers go above and beyond to make sure their animals receive the best possible care.
For an Ohio livestock farmer,
taking animal care seriously just makes sense.
For Ohio livestock farmers, caring for animals is not just a job…
it’s a way of life.

Eckert Woods, by Schneller Homes, is at Race Road and West Fork Road in the Monfort Heights/ White Oak Community.
Schneller Homes opens newest subdivision By Katie Hull khull@communitypress.com
Schneller Homes has recently opened a new 40lot subdivision called Eckert Woods at Race and West Fork roads in Green Township. Since Schneller Homes started in 1985 they have built many homes in developments in the White Oak and Monfort Heights area including Lakeshore Landing, Jamestowne Bay, Rosewood and Ashbrook Estates. Each home in the new subdivision is built on a halfacre or more lot and there are 17 lots still remaining, said Lee Schneller, president of Schneller Homes. It is an upscale community with street lighting, sidewalks and all of the utilities, said Schneller. The houses include a variety of building styles like ranches, two stories, and one-and-a-half stories and range from $300,000
to $750,000, depending on the view, said David Dwyer of Hoeting Realtors, who recently began working with Schneller Homes. “It’s a great place to live and there’s so many common areas,” said Dwyer. “It’s just an all around great place to raise a family.” He said the variety of homes makes the subdivision appealing to families and empty nesters as well. The tranquil atmosphere makes Eckert Woods a good place for second-time home buyers and third time home buyers as well, said Dwyer. “It’s an upscale neighborhood, and you pretty much have your own piece of White Oak history.” Schneller Homes prides themselves on being sure to complete their job in a professional way at all times, said Schneller. “We always like to have the job correct the first time around without having to go back and do it again,” he said.

Volunteers tend the perennial beds this spring at the Delhi Historical Society Farmhouse Garden. From left are, in foreground: Marlene Kayse, Margie Jansing (kneeling), Mary Kay Binder and Barbara Wood (standing with tools.)
Garden club grows and shares its talents
It must be planted on fertile ground, because the Western Hills Garden Club continues to grow in an era when other organizations are experiencing decreasing membership numbers. Having just celebrated its 20th birthday last September, the club is a comparative youngster among its older peers across the state. However, that relative lack of history does not intimidate this diverse group of women, whose ages span four decades. If anything, it fuels the club, which calls Western Hills Country Club home. Members fan out not only across the west side, but also throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky to plan, plant and nurture a number of civic gardens and container plantings for the public to enjoy. You may discover these plucky volunteers spring, summer or fall on their knees in such beds as the Historic Garden at the Delhi Historical Society's Farmhouse, 468 Anderson Ferry Road, or perhaps the Outpatient Surgery Courtyard Garden at Mercy Hospital Western Hills – where volunteers water, weed and generally wow visitors with their blooms in just two of the many public spaces they have developed and continue to maintain. In spite of these already ongoing commitments, when the Greater Cincinnati Master Gardener Association called for help in 2006, the club accepted the challenge to design, plant and tend three containers on the pedestrian Purple People Bridge each year. Although now there is plumbing on the bridge, that first year the women lugged jugs of water down to the bridge several times a week to keep their flowers healthy. For the past two years, the club has snagged second

With that same sense of generosity, the club takes it newest commitment seriously – a large, central herb garden at the Delhi Floral Paradise Garden, 461 Greenwell Ave., tended weekly this time of year by its Spice Ladies team. In addition to beautifying these four very different types of gardens, the club has never forgotten to care for its original plot of perennials at the entrance of Western Hills Country Club, where it holds monthly meetings. While the garden may not be a public space, the mature plants are enjoyed by appreciative club members and guests. The club is readying for its annual flower show – an educational effort beginning at 9 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 13, at the Delhi Floral Paradise Garden. This year's theme is Horticulture at the Herb Bed, and the emphasis will be on horticulture. There are eight
divisions, including culinary, aromatic, medicinal herbs and more. The talent, enthusiasm and sheer vibrancy of a group of women that has breathed life into a local garden club for nearly 21 years has also helped create and beautify many public spaces for community to enjoy. This is a big year for the club, which is on the verge of counting 100 members. Western Hills Garden Club is a member of Federated Garden Clubs of Cincinnati and Vicinity; Garden Club of Ohio, Inc., and National Garden Clubs, Inc., and several members play leadership roles at both local and state levels. While the club never set out to be the biggest or the busiest, its accomplishments and ongoing educational and volunteer efforts speak volumes about it surely being one of the best. Go out and visit one of their garden spaces and see for yourself. If you'd like to learn more about the Aug. 13 flower show program or for membership information, call Cheri at 922-0255.
Be a ‘deadheader’ in the garden! Now, when we say the word “deadhead,” what do you think of? Truck drivers think about a return trip without any cargo. And you Grateful Dead fans may think about yourself – Deadheads. But in the garden, deadheading has a totally different meaning. Deadheading is the art of removing spent flowers from a plant in order to achieve a few different things. The main idea behind deadheading is to stimulate more flowers. By pinching off the old flowers, it helps to stimulate new growth and more flowers. Some plants need a simple removal of the spent flower, where others may need removal of the spent flower as well as the stalk on which it’s growing. This process is used on both annuals and perennials (and woody plants as well). Deadheading is similar to a pinching or pruning process that helps keep
plants more compact, rather than getting long and lanky. By removing the spent flowers and a bit of the stem below the flower, you’re encouraging a fuller Ron Wilson plant. And of course, In the garden with more new growth, in turn, you’ll have more new flowers. Deadheading also helps to eliminate the plants’ trying to go to seed, which can take a lot out of the plant. Instead of producing seed heads, the energy can be sent to the plant and its foliage, and in many cases the plants will continue to re-bloom. If you have coreopsis, a light shearing will help stimulate these plants to keep flowering all summer long, as well as keeping them nice and compact. Deadheading is also a way to help
stimulate a second flowering period from plants that may typically flower only once. Summer flowering spirea is a good example. Once they’re finished flowering, lightly shear off those spent flowers, and within a few weeks, a second flush of new growth will appear, along with a second period of flowering. As with some perennials and woody plants, even if deadheading doesn’t help stimulate more flowers, it definitely helps to keep your plants looking a lot nicer for the summer season. So, if you haven’t been a deadheader this summer, it’s never too late to get started. Your flowering plants will be glad you did! Ron Wilson is marketing manager for Natorp’s Inc. Garden Stores and is the garden expert for 55KRC-AM and Local 12. You can reach him at columns@ communitypress.com

Summertime and the living is … ? I wouldn’t be surprised if Psalm 23 was written in summertime. You know how it goes, “He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he refreshes my soul.” Summer invites tranquility, feeling at one with nature, choosing some positive and relaxing times in our lives. Here are some of the lessons of summer. Slow down: “There is more to life than increasing its speed,” said Gandhi. Most of us moderns feel obsessively driven. We stay on the treadmill all year long. We fear the silence of solitude or experience a certain personal guilt if our list of expectations isn’t accomplished immediately. Contemplative monk Thomas Merton considered excessive busyness a way of doing violence to
Friends host used book sale More than 80,000 used books, CDs, DVDs, sets and more will be available to the public as The Friends of the Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County hosts its summer warehouse sale from Aug. 13-16 at 8456 Vine St., Hartwell. “We offer hardback and paperback fiction in every genre: general fiction, mystery, horror, romance, science fiction and westerns,” said Anne Keller, Friends’ executive director. “Our non-fiction collection covers a wide array of topics, such as art, biography, business, cooking, educational material, health and fitness, home improvement, military history and travel, just to name a few. We offer an extensive collection of children’s books also.” Kids’ books are divided into several sections, include classics, contemporary, award winners and more, priced from 50 cents. Another popular area with a good selection is records. “Record collectors will love our collection of mostly classical music, all of our records are priced at $1 apiece,” Keller said. There is also a good selection of movies on DVD and VHS, CDs and recorded books. “Shop for books by your favorite authors or in your areas of interest,” Keller continued. “Feel free to come by to just to browse. This is an opportunity to shop the entire inventory of books and other items we store at our warehouse for use in our annual book sales. We’re sure you will find something which will appeal to you.” A preview sale for Friends’ members will be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12. Nonmembers can purchase a membership at the door beginning at $20 a year. The summer warehouse sale hours are from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15; and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 16.

ourselves, “There is a pervasive form of contemporary violence … and that is activism and overwork. The rush and pressure of modern life are a form, perhaps the most common form, of its innate violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to violence. It destroys our own inner capacity for peace.” Summertime is freneticisms antidote. It’s the time for which hammocks and lawn chairs were made, bicycles, tree-lined walking paths, picnic baskets and the song lyrics “slow down, you move too fast, you gotta make the morning last.” Notice: St. Benedict, the monk who founded the Benedictine
Order, had a novel approach to help his novices live in the present moment – which is the only place we really live. During their novitiate he asked them to temporarily take a special vow – Fidelity To The Present Moment. It meant a deliberate, concentrated giving of attention to what is immediately before you. “Age quod agis,” in Latin, “Do what you are doing.” He wanted them to notice and feel even the mundane. If washing dishes, notice the look and feel of the swirling soapy water, the sound, the smoothness, the comforting circular motion of their hand. This vow of attention required them to let go of the tendency of trying to do multiple things at once (no praise for multitaskers), of act-
ing thoughtlessly, or to live in the past and worry over the future. The present moment has a fullness all its own. Take off your shoes: Literally and figuratively summer says “Take off your shoes and walk in the grass, feel the earth on which you live, take a deep breath. Life’s too short for tight shoes. Loosen up and stop frowning. Touch the earth, the trees and flowers. At least for awhile resign as General Manager of The Universe.” Many burdens we carry are not even ours to carry. Summertime says “Take that load off your shoulders and let me refresh you.” Enjoy: That’s what the table server says as he or she places our food before us, “Enjoy!” We like the invitation. God says the same thing as he spreads before us the

smorgasbord of life that Genesis says he found so good. One of my favorite prayers in a Sunday Mass says: “Lord, open Father Lou our eyes to see Guntzelman your hand at work in the Perspectives splendor of creation and in the beauty of human life. Touched by your hand, our world is holy. Help us to cherish the gifts that surround us, to share your blessings with our brothers and sisters, and to experience the joy of life in your presence.” To which I say a great, “Amen!” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Make sure debt is yours before you pay it During these tough economic times many people are faced with unpaid debts. In addition to bills you truly owe, you may also be hit with collection letters from companies who just hope you’ll pay. Some of these are socalled Zombie debts, those more than seven years old that have been sold to debt collection companies. Such bills often don’t belong to you, but are sent anyway because so many years have gone by and people have moved. Nancy Beasley of Sharonville got such a bill
for a debt dating back to 1994. “I went to the Web site of the bill collection comHoward Ain pany and Hey Howard! there’s no Web site listed. All I found were links to complaints,” she said. This bill collector wanted Beasley to pay more than $2,000, for a bill belonging to a company of which she never heard.
“So I called the company and told them and they said they would erase the debt. I just want other people to be aware of these letters coming out,” Beasley said. Clara E. Martin of Anderson Township also got a collection letter for a debt that’s four years old. It was for an unpaid parking lot fee. But, upon close examination she found the license number for the car listed never belonged to her. “If they had the correct license number then I would say, ‘Well, this could possibly be something legitimate.’ But it’s not,” she

said. Although she wrote the bill collector and disputed the bill, it didn’t seem to make any difference. “Just recently I received another letter from them. This letter is not different than the first one, so this is not in response to what I wrote,” Martin said. So I told Martin to send another letter to the bill collector saying she doesn’t owe the debt – and send the letter by registered mail so they have to sign for it. That way you have proof they received it. She did that and has not
heard from them again. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act you need to send such a letter to protect your rights. If you feel the debt is not yours, tell the bill collector in writing to provide proof it belongs to you. Do not admit the debt is yours unless you are sure.

Chocolate ’chips’ in to elevate zucchini bread
I’ve been picking my Italian round zucchini, my Lebanese zucchini and my regular zucchini every day. I’ll make stuffed zucchini for supper tonight and if I have time, a chocolate zucchini bread. I wanted to share that recipe since it’s a little different than the norm.

Mary Simon’s Catalina dip
From Rose Kutschbach – her mom’s recipe, an alltime favorite. “Mom passed away in ’95 but memories will always be there for us,” she told me. Well said! 1 pound cream cheese, softened 16 oz. Catalina salad dressing Garlic salt to taste
I made this for the grandkids and they (and the adults) loved it. 2 cups whole wheat or regular pastina (or any short pasta) Olive oil 2 chicken breasts, cut up – a good 3 cups or so 1 nice onion, chopped – about 11⁄2 cups 2-3 teaspoons garlic or bit more to taste 28 oz. diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups mozzarella Parsley, chopped Salt and pepper to taste Topping: 1 cup bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese mixed Butter or substitute Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Add onions and garlic, stirring to combine, and cook until onions are soft and chicken is cooked, about five minutes. Put into bowl with pasta. Add tomatoes, mozzarella, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Put in sprayed casserole. Sprinkle crumb mixture on top, dot with small bits of butter. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Tips from Rita’s kitchen
*Water vs. Juice for kids in sports: For Bill, a Northeast Suburban Life reader, whose kids are playing sports. Hydration is paramount. If an activity lasts less than one hour, water is fine.
If it lasts 60 to 90 minutes or longer, a 6 to 8 percent carbohydrate sports drink or diluted fruit juice (to dilute juice from concentrate – and try to use 100 percent juice – use at least twice the water recommended) is good. * Information from “The Official Snack Guide for Beleaguered Sports Parents” which yours truly, along with three talented colleagues, wrote!

Art of Harvest Home back on display By Katie Hull
khull@communitypress.com
The 150th Annual Green Township Harvest Home Fair, scheduled for Sept. 1013 at Harvest Home Park, would not be the same without its annual art show. The 42nd annual art show is a creative part of the fair that gives people a chance to see the talent and artistic ability of local residents. “I find that the art show is one of the elements that makes the Harvest Home Fair more like a fair than just a festival,” said Sharon Christopherson, co-chairwoman of the art show. Christopherson, who lives in Clifton, and John Williams, of Green Township, have been co-chairs of the art show for about four years. “(The art show) is something quite different than the rest of the fair,” said Williams, who first got involved with the show four years ago when he won an award for his own watercolor painting. “This is probably the most creative thing we have,” he said. “I think the people who come to see it each year are quite impressed.” The art show is a place for artists to display their work and share their talent for other people to enjoy, said Christopherson. “We usually have around 90 to 95 entries each year,” said Williams. She is hoping to get even more people to exhibit their work this year.
“We’d love to see more entries from every age, including some of the younger artists,” she Christopherson said. E a c h applicant must be 17 years or older and may enter up to two paintings or drawings, at $8 each, created from oil, acrylic, watercolor or other media, said Williams. “It’s very exciting to walk through the exhibit and see all of the local artwork and talent that’s there,” said Christopherson. There will be three cash
awards for first, second, and third places in each of the categories – oil/acrylic, watercolor and other media. Entries will be judged by well known artist Mary Jane Browne from Western Hills. “She is a very talented gal,” said Williams. Artwork will be judged on Friday, Sept. 11, and must be delivered to Harvest Home Park on Wednesday, Sept. 9, from 5-7 p.m. or Thursday, Sept. 10, from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. “We’d like to encourage people to come and take part in the art show by viewing it and enjoying it,” said Christopherson.

The program – which is also funded by Hamilton County and the state of Ohio, among others – is open to persons between the ages of 15 and 25 who live in Hamilton County.

Among the organizations providing services through Connect2Success are Jobs for Cincinnati Graduates, Cincinnati Public Schools’ ABLE and GED programs, the Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency, Dohn Community School, Great Oaks, Job Corps, the Lower Price Hill Community School, the University of Cincinnati Center of Education, the Urban Appalachian Council, the Greater Cincinnati Urban League and the YWCA.

Greg Moore said he’s going to miss spending his summers on the stage at the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts. This summer is the last time the Delhi Township teen, who is entering his sophomore year at Northern Kentucky University, can perform with the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre. “It’s going to be hard to leave,” said Moore, an Oak Hills High School graduate. “We really are a family here.” Moore’s final performance with the teen theater group will be in “Godspell,” a rock musical based on the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The show originally opened in 1971 at an off-Broadway theater, and several songs from the musical, including “Day by Day,” became chart hits.
The musical presents a creative and inspiring view of Jesus, as his disciples reenact the parables and scenes from Jesus’ life with joy, wit and energy. Entering its 28th year, the teen theater group’s production this summer brings together 95 cast and crew members from around the Tristate between the ages of 13 and 19. “The Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre has quite a legacy,” said Price Hill resident Tommy Boeing, a St. Xavier High School senior who stars in the show. “Alumni still come back to see the performances. They enjoy being a part of an organization that is still going on to this day.” Western Hills resident Hillary Hudepohl, a senior at the School for Creative and Performing Arts, said being a part of the theater group is a lifestyle, spending summers in the

Dog, owner training again for Wiener race A veteran is going back on the track. Greta is in training again for the Wiener Dog Races scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 8, at River Downs. And children in the area are helping her train. “Usually, the kids take turns racing Greta on the sidewalk in front of their homes on Calmhaven,” said Greta’s owner, Laurie DeWine. “But Katie Keller … suggested we go to Oak Hills’ High School track and give Greta a chance to run where there’s no traffic.” Parents Wayne and Marcie Misch and Ryan and Lori Keller with their little daughter, Rylee, cheered from the sidelines as the children gave Greta a good workout. “Most people don’t realize how fast Greta’s little legs can run until they see her race against the kids. Greta almost always wins,” DeWine said. DeWine is a doctor of Audiology and co-owner of The Place for Better Hearing on Westbourne Drive. Greta is a mascot for the business and has been used in advertising.
Allyson Keller holds Greta, who is training for the Wiener Dog Races Aug. 8 at River Downs. Helping in training is Colby Misch and Rylee Keller at Oak Hills High School track. PROVIDED. SUBMIT PHOTOS TO MEMRAL @COMMUNITYPRESS.COM

Greta will race in the Wiener Dog Races at River Downs Aug. 8.
mind; get that ball,” said DeWine. Greta’s favorite toy, a Wiggly-Giggly ball, is what makes her run. It’s about the size of a volleyball and it makes funny noises as it rolls. The Wiener Dog Races at River Downs are not new to Greta. She’s been racing since 2003. Greta won the races in 2003 and 2008. Both of her final races were photo finishes. “There are many wiener dogs in the area that can really run fast, including one right up the street,”
“So many of my hearing aid patients get a good laugh asking about my prize-winning wiener dog,” added DeWine. Greta is a friendly little dog and she loves children; she’s in training as a Therapy Dog. “Sometimes I’ll take her with me to the nursing homes in the evenings when I go to deliver a hearing aid to a patient. But on the racetrack, there’s no more ‘how-doyou-do’ happy tail-wagging from Greta. She seems to have one thing on her
DeWine said. Greta has become friends with one of those fast wiener dogs, Ms. Devin, owned by Leslie Gilbert and Erica Gravett “We’re hoping that Greta and Devin don’t have to race in the same heat. We want to see both of them make it to the finals,” said Erica. Ms. Devin has been getting in shape for the races by retrieving tennis balls tossed into her back yard by her owners.
If you go If yo want to go to the Wiener Dog Races at River Downs in Anderson Township, Laurie DeWine suggests you get there by 5 p.m. The wiener dog races are after the final horse race of the day. River Downs requires that the dogs be pre-registered and there is an entry fee for each dog, which is donated to the SPCA. There are 10 heats of 10 wiener dogs. The winner of each heat competes for the title of
champion. The dogs run about 20 yards from the start to the finish line on the race track. A toy or treat is used at the finish line to motivate the dog to the finish line. After the 10th heat of racing wiener dogs, there will be a special exhibition race for basset Hounds, distant relatives of the Dachshunds or wiener dogs. The event is free and there is free parking at River Downs.

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

Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge.
