Mary Theobald said she’s never really thought about how much time she spends working in her garden and tending to her yard.

She just knows it takes up quite a bit of her time.

Her efforts show.

The longtime Price Hill resident was honored with the summer Property Pride Award presented

by Price Hill Will’s Beautification Community Action Team.

“I’m thrilled, and I’m very flattered,” said Theobald, who has lived in her Texas Avenue home for 55 years.

Kara Ray, community organizer for Price Hill Will, said the organization has been recognizing neighbors who take great care of their yards and homes since 2005.

She said Price Hill Will solicits nominations from area residents, and then members of the beautification committee and Price Hill Will staff visit all the homes nominated and judge which properties are the best.

“We like to honor the people who truly put in the hard work,” Ray said.

She said there were 13 properties nominated for the summer award, which is the highest number of nominations Price Hill Will has ever received.

“That’s a great number, and it shows more and more people are taking the time to make their homes look beautiful,” she said.

Jennifer Collett, one of Theobald’s 12 children, said she nominated her mother for the award because she is a wonderful person and dedicated to the west side.

“Her yard is her peace of mind and it keeps her busy,” Collett

Alumni of St. Lawrence School are planning the largest reunion in the school’s history. Anyone who graduated from St. Lawrence between 1970 and 1995 is invited to the reunion. All proceeds will go toward helping the school buy new windows.

said.

“I can’t imagine anyone else who deserves this award more than her.”

Theobald said she works outside in her yard planting flowers and tending her gardens because she enjoys it, and she does it solely for herself.

As the winner, she received a framed certificate of appreciation, a pot of flowers and a sign recognizing her as the Property Pride Award winner to display in her yard for the remainder of the summer.

She said the best part of winning the award was being nominated for the honor by her daughter.

“When your kids do something like this for you it makes you think, ‘I did a couple of things right,’” Theobald said.

11 a.m. - 5 p.m.

A group of alumni from St. Lawrence School are putting together a class reunion spanning 25 years.

Debbie (Downey) McClanahan, a 1976 St. Lawrence graduate who is chairing the event with 1988 graduate Steve Bailey, said they have invited anyone who graduated from the school from 1970 through 1995 to come back for a reunion.

“We are planning the biggest reunion in the history of St. Lawrence,” McClanahan said.

“This will be an incredible evening to reconnect with our many friends and teachers.”

The reunion is set for 8 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 3, in the St. Lawrence Parish Center, 3680

Warsaw Ave. Tickets to the event are $30 each until Friday, Sept. 25. After the deadline and at the door, tickets will be $50 each.

McClanahan said the reunion is a fundraiser for the school, and all the proceeds will be donated back to St. Lawrence.

“It’s just a great cause,” she said. “The school is in desperate need of new windows, so we want to buy the school windows and hope to even raise enough to offer a scholarship to a student from St. Lawrence who is a freshman at Seton and/or Elder.”

She said the event will also feature a split-the-pot raffle and an auction of gift baskets to raise money for the school. Donations of items for the gift baskets are being accepted.

Volunteers on the planning

committee are working to line up entertainment for the evening, as well as food and drinks.

St. Lawrence alumni who want to learn more about the reunion can visit www.stlawrence reunion.com for information, or call McClanahan at 941-3152.

Those who want to buy tickets in advance can send checks or money orders, made payable to St. Lawrence Reunion, to St. Lawrence Reunion Tickets, 1397 Wexford Lane, Cincinnati, Ohio 45233.

“We are really excited about getting these classes together and at the same time having a fundraiser to benefit St. Lawrence School,” McClanahan said.

“This is a wonderful parish that provided us with a great education and we are happy to give back.”

The first 500 attendees receive a gift of free pearls!

Joe Pendley hopes his idea for a farmers market in Delhi Township will come to fruition next summer.

the small-scale market he envisions.

New president values Seton’s historic tradition Cruise

By Kurt Backscheider

kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Sister Patricia Cruise said her main goal as the new president of Seton High School is to continue building upon the strong foundation that has already been laid at the school.

“We need to continue to move forward for the young women who choose to come here,” said Cruise, a Sister of Charity.

“This is where the Sisters of Charity education in Cincinnati began. It has a long history of educating women and I think that is so important for our society.

“I am dedicated to continuing the important ministry of Seton and the mission of the Sisters of Charity,” she said.

Cruise joins Seton after serving as president and CEO of Covenant House International, the largest privately funded nonprofit child care agency in North and Central America. She has also served as executive vice president and chief operating officer at Red Cloud Indian School on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

“I have ministered in the poorest county in the United States and to the homeless children in six countries,” she said.

“The piece that allows them to survive – beyond crisis care, food and clothing – is access to a loving education.”

Sister Kathryn Ann Connelly, a Sister of Charity who chairs Seton’s board of trustees, said she is delighted Cruise is the school’s new president.

“As a Sister of Charity, Sister Tricia is steeped in the mission and ministry of Elizabeth Seton. She comes with vast experience and a true love for the ministry of

Catholic education,” Connelly said.

“I am confident that with her leadership Seton will continue ascending the path where excellence in education is the norm, service and leadership are the hallmarks and growth in true Christian womanhood is the achievable end.”

She said as a Sister of Charity she is thrilled and honored to be Seton’s new president.

“My background in education and my commitment to the Sisters of Charity will empower me with the help of many to lead Seton into the next exciting phase in our history,” she said.

She said the school has enjoyed an increase in enrollment and a major facility renovation, making Seton the choice school for many young women on the west side of Cincinnati. This fall’s freshmen class of 178 students is one of the largest the school has welcomed recently.

“Seton not only provides a quality Catholic education, but allows students to grow in their own lives and in service to others,” Cruise said.

“I am looking forward to working with the incredible faculty and staff. Their passion for education and for developing well-rounded students is something that I support and admire.”

She said she also looks forward to meeting the many alumnae, parents and friends of Seton, as well as working with Elder High School, the neighborhood parishes and community organizations like Price Hill Will to share in the ministry of education.

“The more stories I hear, the more energetic I am,” she said.

Opening of new Catholic high school postponed a year Gannett News Service The religious order creating a new Catholic high school in Cincinnati needs an extra year to pull it off, in part because of the economy.

The DePaul Cristo Rey High School will move its scheduled opening from fall 2010 to fall 2011, said Sister Jeanne Bessette, school president.

The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, which is launching the school, is still negotiating a location. They had hoped to sign a deal in August on a school in a central neighborhood of the city, but that hasn’t happened yet, Bessette said, declining to specify the location.

The building will need renovation and other key personnel have yet to be hired, so Bessette and the Sisters of Charity decided to postpone the opening.

“The external force … is the

economy,” Bessette said.

“Because this kind of school relies so heavily on our students being able to have jobs in the real marketplace, we decided to respect where the economy is and let it bounce back a little bit.”

At the 24 Cristo Rey schools nationwide, poor and mostly minority students receive a college prep education while working one day a week in entry-level and office jobs.

Their earnings pay for about 70 percent of their tuition.

In Cincinnati, 26 employers have signed “letters of interest” to hire Cristo Rey students, including Corporex, Fifth Third, Good Samaritan Hospital, Merrill Lynch and Macy’s.

A couple hundred parents and students have inquired about the school, Bessettee said.

Not having a building puts DePaul Cristo Rey at a disadvantage, compared to other Cincin-

nati-area Catholic high schools, which are planning recruiting campaigns now to begin attracting next year’s students this fall.

Usually by early January students have visited schools and narrowed their selections.

Cristo Rey hasn’t hired a development director to help market the school, Bessette said.

Also, the school still has to firm up donations for about $1 million, about a quarter of what it takes to start the school.

The national Cristo Rey network, based in Chicago, usually requires start-up schools to raise enough to operate for two years.

Cristo Rey will be the first new Catholic school in Cincinnati in about 50 years and it will be the first one here to be funded mostly with parttime jobs held by students.

The first class will enroll 100 to 125 freshmen and each year the school will add a grade.

Township teen builds bridge in Delhi park

By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

It hasn’t been all fun and games for Patrick Donavan as he works to earn his Eagle Scout rank.

Donavan, 15, is a member of Troop 350 at Shiloh United Methodist Church and a sophomore at Oak Hills High School.

The teen said it’s been his friends in the troop and troop leader Dave Veldhaus that’s kept him in scouting since he was a Tiger Cub. “I’ve learned that my shoes are floatable,” he said with a grin, describing his attempt at the life-saving badge.

Hoping to be a veterinarian, Donavan said his most rewarding badges have involved pets and animals.

While a few badges away from those required for Eagle Scout consideration, Donavan recently completed his Eagle project.

He built a 22-foot wooden bridge spanning a creek at Delhi Township Park. The bridge links field 9 and shelter 3.

Oak Hills High School Celebrates 50th Anniversary 1959-2009

Getting to Know Superintendent Todd Yohey

Q: What are your impressions of the Oak Hills Local School District?

Yohey: The Oak Hills Local School District provides an excellent education while maintaining a low cost-perstudent expenditure.

This translates into exactly what taxpayers want…quality schools without wasteful spending. Oak Hills is a district driven by a common purpose of providing the best possible educational experience for all students.

Yohey: As educational leaders, we realize that traditional classroom experiences are evolving to meet the challenges of the 21st century and beyond.

We must continue to analyze and assess our programming to develop innovations that will continue to meet the needs of students and challenge their ability levels. Our Pathways initiative, Habits of Mind, Positive Behavior Supports, and eLearning are just some examples of how we are bringing 21st century learning skills to students.

Q: What is your vision for Oak Hills in the future?

Yohey: I want the Oak Hills Local School District to continue as an educational leader and pioneer. My vision is for Oak Hills to become the standard against which all other districts are measured in terms of curriculum, instruction, student achievement, and

The project took months of planning and a week of labor to erect.

Donavan and his father, Elmer, credit a lengthy list of sponsors who donated materials and labor and even food to feed the volunteers who helped.

Donavan added a special thank you touch to the support rails, burning in the names of those who helped on the posts.

“I’m happy it’s done,” Donavan said. “It was a lot of work.”

Along with the bridge, Donavan built steps leading up to the ballfield.

“This is just a fabulous addition to our park,” said Joan Gillespie, a horticulturist with the township.

“Patrick did a tremendous job and the bridge is another facet of our walking trails still under way throughout the park.”

Donavan said he hopes to have his last merit badges secured soon to complete the Eagle Scout rank.

ADVERTORIAL

Q: How should we continue to challenge the excellence our students experience in and out of the classroom?

HEIDI FALLON/STAFF

Patrick Donavan stands on the bridge he built at Delhi Township Park for his Eagle Scout project. The work included not only the 22-foot long bridge but also steps and landscaping.

Q: How will you build supportive relationships with stakeholders?

Yohey: I hope to reach out to stakeholders through personal connections. I believe that as a public servant it is important to meet and give back to the community that provides for you. I have tried to instill that belief in my own children and hope to convey that message here. I believe strongly in public engagement. Public schools belong to the communities they serve and stakeholders deserve to be informed and part of the decision-making process.

The Friends of the Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County grossed $35,575 at its Aug.13-16 used book sale held at its warehouse in Hartwell, slightly more than last year’s sale.

“We realized a slight increase over last year’s figure, but are happy with the results, considering the economy,” Friends’ Executive Director Anne Keller said. “We’re now preparing for some additional sales at branches through the remainder of 2009.”

“The next branch sale will be at the Covedale Branch Library, 4980 Glenway Ave., from Sept. 1819,” Keller said. “It’s even more important that the public support the sales, because the success of each book sale helps the Library by sponsoring thousands of children’s and adult programs each year, and adding to the library’s collection.”

The remaining 2009 book sales: • Covedale Branch Library, 4980 Glenway Ave. from noon to 6 p.m.

Friday, Sept. 18; and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19.

• Clifton Branch Library at the Clifton Cultrual Arts Center, 3711 Clifton Ave. (the old Clifton School) from noon to 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16; from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Walroth record

Oak Hills High School 2006 graduate Shelley Walroth, who plays volleyball for Jacksonville University, recently broke several records in NCAA Women's Division I volleyball.

Over the Labor Day weekend, she became the Atlantic-Sun Conference all-time record holder in digs and is only nine digs shy of reaching the 2,000 dig milestone (a feat only 26 players have ever achieved in women’s college volleyball).

She is currently on pace to, at the end of the season, be in the top five dig leaders all-time in all of volleyball.

Defense the star for Oak Hills

By Anthony Amorini

aamorini@communitypress.com

Oak Hills showed its defense is ready for Greater Miami Conference play with its week-three win over Walnut Ridge, 22-0.

The Highlanders host Mason (1-2) at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept.

18, after Oak Hills improved to 21 with its shut-out victory in week three.

“On defense, it’s a great group of experienced guys and it’s everybody (contributing) every week,” Oak Hills head coach Kurry Commins said when asked about the Highlanders’ defensive standouts. “It’s hard for me to pick a guy. It’s a total team effort.”

Ben Russell (1.5 sacks), Ryan Quinn (one sack) and Logan Andriot (0.5 sacks) each recorded sacks in week three for Oak Hills.

The Highlanders forced two turnovers against Walnut Ridge with Alex Adams recovering a fumble and Jayson Schunk intercepting a pass.

Schunk followed the catch with a 73-yard interception return for Oak Hills.

Oak Hills’ defense only allowed 17 points during the Highlanders’ 2-1 start this season.

The Highlanders rebounded in week two to defeat Harrison, 3814, after suffering a heartbreaking week-one loss to La Salle, 7-3.

“I like where our team is at,” Commins said. “I like their mentality. They come into the games on Friday nights as a hard-working, physical team.

“Big hits create big opportunities and change games,” Commins added of his defense.

In week three, Highlander quarterback Steve Gebing scored the only touchdown of the first half on a one -yard run to give Oak Hills a 6-0 lead.

“We were sloppy on the offensive side in the first half,” Commins said.

Charlie Montgomery scored on a 33-yard field goal with 6:54 remaining in the third quarter to extend the Highlanders’ lead over Walnut Ridge, 9-0.

Early in the fourth quarter, Oak Hills extended its lead to 15-0 as Cory Burgin scored on a 15-yard touchdown run.

Burgin found the end zone again on a 22-yard reception from Gebing with 7:25 left in the fourth quarter to round out Oak Hills’ scoring for the night.

“We made some good adjustments and played well in the sec-

Gebing was 4-for-11 passing for 79 yards with a touchdown.

He also rushed for 44 yards on 14 carries while scoring a touchdown on the ground.

Burgin had 17 carries for 67 yards and one touchdown on the ground. He also scored on a touchdown reception with two catches in the game for 32 yards.

Mercy searching for net identity

By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

Five matches into the 2009 season, the Mother of Mercy High School volleyball team is still finding its footing.

“We’re trying to find an identity,” head coach Denise Harvey said.

The Bobcats, which won a state title in 2007, came within one match of the Final Four in 2008; their run last year was keyed by Stephanie Vorherr, who now plays for Xavier, and Amanda Philpot, who now plays for Georgetown College.

“We don’t really have a 1-2 punch,” Harvey said of this year’s squad. “We’re balanced but without consistency.”

That inconsistency was evident in a 3-0 home loss to Ursuline Academy Sept. 10. The Bobcats kept the first two games close, but the Lions eventually pulled away in both, winning 25-19 and 2515. In the third game, Mercy came from behind before falling 25-15.

“I thought we struggled tonight,” Harvey said after the loss.

The Bobcats were noticeably smaller than the Lions, which boast four players 6-0 or taller.

“UA is always big, and we’re always small,” Harvey said. “But

Mercy dropped to 3-2 with the defeat.

Still, the Bobcats have had their moments in the early season.

They have wins over Newport

Catholic, Alter and Centerville, and Harvey has been impressed with her team’s ball control and scrappy defense, as well as the leadership of senior co-captains Julie Murray and Emily Caldwell.

“Julie is a fantastic defensive player and ball specialist; she’s

steady in the back,” Harvey said.

“And Emily is really good defensively.”

Sophomore middle hitter Lindsey Dinkelacker and junior Megan Wanstrath, meanwhile, are two up-and-coming players who could make a significant impact as the season progresses.

“They both have a lot of discipline, and hopefully they can fuel our team,” Harvey said.

The sooner, the better. The Bobcats’ conference schedule heats up in a hurry, as they play four GGCL opponents – McAuley, St. Ursula, Mount Notre Dame and Seton – in the span of 10 days, beginning Sept. 15.

The Bobcats, of course, would like to win the league, but they see Ursuline as the team to beat.

“I honestly don’t think UA played that well tonight, and they still handled us pretty well,” Harvey said.

“That says a lot about how good they are.”

Without a dominant individual as of yet, Mercy is focused on building an all-around unit capable of competing with anyone.

“We’re growing more as a team and establishing chemistry,” Murray said.

Added Caldwell, “We’re trying to get better and consistently improve.”

Wiffle ball game helps Pink Ribbon Girls The idea for the fundraiser sprang from a childhood friendship between Mike Fieler and Tracie Metzger, Pink Ribbon Girls’ founder and president.

The two attended Our Lady of Visitation School in Bridgetown and today their children attend the school and many of the same activities together.

In the past, the Fielers have hosted all-male Wiffle ball tournaments on their five acres of property, but over the past four years, have decided to open it up to families and friends for a good cause.

“Pink Ribbon Girls is such a wonderful organization for young women who may feel alone and isolated after their breast cancer diagnosis,” Gina Fieler says.

“Doing this event year after year has not only helped raise our children’s awareness of breast cancer but has also helped hundreds of families in the community to focus on positive things they can do together that will help others.”

More than 1,200 people attended last year’s game raising more than $20,000. The Fielers and Pink Ribbon Girls are hoping for an even greater turnout this year, with the event’s new location, Kuliga Park, which will better accommodate the growing crowd.

Each of the four Wiffle ball fields will again feature home run walls mimicking baseball’s classic ballparks such as Fenway Park, Wrigley Field and Great American

Ballpark.

Some of the Ben-Gal cheerleaders will be in attendance from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. for a meet and greet and photo opportunities.

This year’s event will again feature the Pink Ribbon Kids area for those 8 and under and includes a miniature Wiffle ball field for a game of their own, face painting, temporary tattoo station and much more.

Families can also buy tickets for the home run derby contest, gift basket raffle and silent auction.

The cost of the event is $50 per family, which includes admission to the event, entry to play in the six versus

Officials prepared for another storm Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

A little more than a year ago, some residents were without power for days, even more than a week.

The remnants of Hurricane Ike coming up from the south then collided with a cold front from the north over the Ohio Valley and fed off each other.

Fallen trees and live power lines cut off many of Cincinnati's hilly, woody neighborhoods, blocking residents' only way out. Suburban intersections became parking lots as thousands negotiated impromptu four-way stops without traffic lights.

Duke Energy and the region's various governments say the storm cost them $56 million, a price tag that will eventually be paid by the public in addition to the countless roof repairs, lost groceries and tree removals.

The people who prepare for such events – utility officials and government emergency managers – say they're more ready now after studying their responses which were criticized by many for their slow pace and the communications breakdowns.

FILE PHOTO

Part of a tree blocks Ralph Avenue in Covedale after the wind storm last year.

Delhi Township

Delhi Township Public Works Director Bob Bass said the township had all the equipment it required to deal with the storm aftermath. Rather than curbside brush service, the township had residents drop off debris at the senior/community center parking lot.

Power was out in the township from two days to five days in limited areas.

The township spent $65,000 and was reimbursed 75 percent of that, mostly spent on labor overtime.

Duke Energy

Since the storm, Duke has focused on two major areas of its disaster response, said spokeswoman Johnna Reeder: The

immediate post-storm system assessment and communication with customers during repairs.

Duke officials spent the first 24 hours after the storm determining the extent of the damage, and waiting for extra repair crews to arrive.

Since last year, Duke has tapped its resources in the Carolinas, where major storm damage is more common, to deploy new software. They expect it to give a more accurate, faster picture of damage.

Duke also is working on a $1 billion investment in digital smart-meters, planned before the storms, which will automatically inform the company when a customer loses power.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks to Ridenours

Can the Ridenours “give” any more to Delhi Middle School, let alone the Delhi Community?

Not once, but twice now they have given us the Eagle and all the honor that it represents.

Through all this again reliving the loss of their beautiful daughter Kelli. I hope the Delhi community can be at the garden on Sept. 19 to help restore the garden and see the Eagle statue back in its prominent place.

Thanks to my husband, David,

originally from Sayler Park, for bringing us here 20 years ago because that gave us the privilege of meeting and being lifelong friends to this wonderful family.

Thank you Cathie and Doug.

Cathy Knue Troubador Court

Where is Mary?

In a Letter to the editor I wrote in late May, I called out trustee candidate Mary Brigham as being nothing more than a “Rubber

Stamp” yes vote for Al Duebber and whatever Duebber wants in Delhi.

Brigham, who claims to be “actively involved,” has never once attended a Delhi trustee meeting, including a very important meeting on Sept. 9 and has never said what she really stands for. It’s not hard to figure out, she stands for whatever Duebber tells her to stand for. Is that what you want for Delhi? Not me.

In memory of Harry Heileman I taught as an adjunct faculty member at Cincinnati State Technical & Community College off and on for 16 years while working elsewhere most of the time.

As a teacher of English composition, and sometimes psychology, I learned a great deal from my students.

Many were struggling, working hard and succeeding in making a better life for themselves and their families. I think they learned a few things from me also besides using correct punctuation, writing dramatic narratives and constructing effective arguments on controversial topics.

Sometimes, my students would wonder how I corrected reams of essays for English composition and all those quizzes and tests in psychology. Sometimes they assumed that I just turned over my papers for someone else to correct.

Surprisingly enough, none of my hundreds of students over the years had another teacher like me, who knew a retired gentleman named Harry Heileman who served as a reader for me once a week or maybe twice a week if I

was overwhelmed with both essays and tests to correct in the same time frame.

Being a teacher of EngJoyce Rogers lish composition and psychology, Community and being a Press guest teacher who totally columnist was blind was quite an adventure for my students and for me, and people like Harry Heileman made it all easy and fun.

I think I was known as a teacher who readily gave praise for good work and who also caught every spelling error, wrong punctuation mark and who readily gave back unacceptable papers for resubmission.

From 1994 to 2004, Harry Heileman and I made quite a team and kept my students on a track of doing well and feeling good about their success.

I reviewed and evaluated every paper and made those, I hope, helpful comments.

I listened, evaluated and gave my students the message that I really cared because I did care. In truth, Harry and my other readers were invaluable, too. Isn’t interdependence what we are all about after all?

Well, now for you, Harry, it is “no more papers, no more tests, no more teachers in distress.”

Thanks for being a good friend and a special assistant. Some day when I join you in heaven, I promise not to bring any student essays with me.

Joyce Rogers is a resident of Covedale.

Mercy adds theology of the body As a religion teacher at Mother of Mercy High School, I always look forward to the beginning of a new school year because each year brings new opportunities for engaging our students in their education at a particularly formative time of their young lives.

Over the years, Mercy High School has developed some exceptional programs in its curriculum that our students find both engaging and rewarding, not only in class but also when they go forth into today’s job market.

Some of these popular classes include broadcasting arts and video production, graphic computer art and Web page design, preparing for engineering, medical career exploration with Mercy Hospital and five courses providing dual credit with area colleges, to name a few.

Not to be outdone, this year our religion department will be integrating some of the latest materials available to augment our dynamic curriculum that leads our students to a relationship with God and their church. One resource is Pope Benedict XVI’s latest encyclical on human life and the global economy, Charity in Truth (an obvious must for our morality and Catholic social justice courses), and the second is an inspiring resource on human sexuality for families called theology of the body.

For those not familiar with the term, theology of the body refers to the audience talks by Pope

John Paul II early in his pastorate that affirm human sexuality as both good and beautiful. Here on the west side of town, we are Robert J. fortunate to Bonnici have a new ducational Community eretreat center in Press guest Green Township columnist called Ruah Woods that specializes in adapting John Paul II’s theology of the body teaching for teens.

Last spring, I took the introductory classes offered at Ruah Woods and was immediately impressed with its effectiveness in presenting a sensitive and complicated subject in a clear message that teens can relate to. Ruah Woods recognizes that teens today live in an environment filled with popular artists like Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift, etc., and so their material is able to present John Paul II’s teaching on the body and sex in a way that is connected to the realities of their world.

Too often teens seem to be left with the impression that their bodies are inherently obstacles to a holy and happy life (as if the body is “bad” and only the soul is “good”). This is not the way John Paul II viewed our human sexuality at all. Rather, he saw that “the

In a sex-saturated culture such as ours, where sex is often trivialized, it can truly be refreshing to come across those who live their lives in a chaste or even celibate manner. beauty of creation reflects the infinite beauty of the creator” (Catechism of the Catholic Church n.341). Hence, the human body is not something to be embarrassed or ashamed about, but instead is a sign of the divine mystery.

In a sex-saturated culture such as ours, where sex is often trivialized, it can truly be refreshing to come across those who live their lives in a chaste or even celibate manner. Similarly, to witness a couple who love freely, totally, faithfully and fruitfully in marriage is a powerful sign of the way Christ loves us.

Here at Mercy High School, we are grateful to Ruah Woods for making John Paul II’s teaching on human sexuality readily available and look forward to using it in our Christian lifestyles course.

Robert J. Bonnici is chairman of the religion department at Mother of Mercy High School.

Next question

Last week’s question

Should there be laws banning all use of cell phones while driving? Why or why not?

“Yes, because they are so engrossed in their conversation that they: can’t use a turn signal (and they are drinking coffee with the other hand, or applying make-up), weave into my lane as they are yakking it up, or put their foot on or off the gas pedal depending on the course of the conversation. I hate it when I am sitting at a red light and I see in my rear view mirror someone coming up behind me who is talking on the phone (or texting) NOT slowing down until the last minute … Phew!”

“No. No. No. No. No. Individuals must take responsibility for their own actions … We need less government. Next they will want to take away your drivers license when you reach a certain age or your too old for a medical treatment so go home and suffer until you kick the bucket.

If we don’t stand up for our rights we will loose them. Wake up Americans; it is later than you think” B.B.

Wise to invest in early childhood At this very moment, legislators in Columbus are making difficult choices about what programs will receive the limited dollars available in the State budget. If there ever were a time when we have needed wise leadership, it is now. We must encourage legislators to support programs that are proven to work and save public tax dollars, and we must call upon social services to deliver programs that are accountable.

One of those programs is Help Me Grow and Every Child Succeeds is one of many organizations that helps to implement this program in southwest Ohio.

Help Me Grow is a home visitation program that provides support for at risk, first-time mothers.

Home visitation programs like Every Child Succeeds deliver quantifiable outcomes for mothers, babies, and communities to help children develop prenatally through the first years of life. This early investment helps avoid the need for costly services for these children in the future, helps mothers find and keep their jobs, and helps them get the child-care they need so they don’t lose their jobs.

Unfortunately, funding for Help Me Grow is under attack in Columbus and that puts children and families in Ohio at risk.

During the last 10 years, Every Child Succeeds has made nearly 300,000 visits and helped more than 15,500 families in southwestern Ohio and northern Kentucky. ECS data prove this program works and saves lives. In southwest Ohio, babies born to ECS mothers have a decreased infant mortality rate.

• ECS – 4.7 deaths per 1000 live births.

• Cincinnati – 17.0 deaths per 1000 live births • Ohio – 7.9 deaths per 1000 live births Additional positive outcomes include: • 91 percent children develop age-expected language skills

ECS serves the highest risk Ohioans. They are fragilely connected to the workforce. They are low-income. Many are either victims of violence or have witnessed violence. One-half are clinically depressed.

If we don’t have early intervention programs like HMG, there will be negative short and longterm repercussions. Infant mortality will increase, children will not be ready for school and dependence on more expensive intervention services and programs (like public assistance) will increase in the short term and be compounded over the long term. Through our rigorous data analysis, this is what we know will occur.

I have enough faith in our country to believe that recovery will begin soon, and it will happen because elected officials in Columbus will make the right decisions on behalf of Ohio citizens. Investing in early childhood development is the most efficient economic development strategy available. An improved system for Ohio’s children – a system that is evidence-based, effective and targeted to those most at risk is critical to moving our state forward.

Judy Van Ginkel is president of Every Child Succeeds.

When people turn into sheep Humans are supposed to need other human shepherds less and less as they mature.

When immature, and still growing, we need parents, disciplinarians and teachers – guides outside ourselves.

When we grow up – if we grow up – our guidance comes chiefly from within ourselves; a well-formed conscience and sense of responsibility.

Guides outside of us never become completely unimportant, but much less necessary.

A sad thing seems to be happening. Too many people seem to be acting as sheep. Sheeple are people who act like sheep.

When that occurs, we don’t use our minds to study problems thoroughly and understand them effectively.

We stop looking for truth.

We graze on sound bites, slogans and little bits of

information lying on the ground that taste good.

When we are turning into sheeple, we lose sight of truth and priorities. We become easy prey for manipulation by politicians, advertisers, bureaucrats, and sometimes even by people we call religious leaders.

Our shepherds are called spin doctors – false shepherds who have no interest in the common good, us, or the truth, only their own agenda.

As sheeple we have a strong flock instinct. We need to think and act as everybody else.

It’s said that the instincts and logic of a mob gradually become lower than the individuals that comprise the mob. We turn our minds over to others.

Sheeple are dazzled by words and forget justice; are moved by emotions and forget logic. We believe peers,

advertisers, politicians and celebrities about what is important in life. We acquiesce to anyone who claims to speak for God. The masses of people have been pictured as a huge pyramid. Most of us are depicted toward the bottom somewhere, and the numbers become fewer as the pyramid narrows and ascends.

Psychologists such as Abraham Maslow urge us to become self-actualized and move upward.

That means to grow in

knowledge and personal awareness of our own state and truths of reality.

The journey upward is very difficult, but possible.

Great spiritual teachers such as Jesus Christ told us what happens when we are transformed from sheeple to people, “ … you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.”

Free from what? Free from a flock mentality. Free from not recognizing our dignity. Free from ignorance, deception and being used by others. Free from

o u r Father Lou defenses Guntzelman and illuPerspectives sions in order to become our truest self.

Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

S&H charges alert Ads for products on TV and in print that don’t disclose the shipping and handling charges are becoming increasingly common.

Such charges should be carefully considered before ordering because sometimes they can be quite substantial.

That’s what a Westwood woman has learned.

Sue LaRue has been analyzing ads and found several that either don’t disclose the charge or do so in very small print.

“I think they’re saying two things. I think they’re saying ‘free shipping’ or ‘plus shipping,’ but they’re not saying how much the shipping is. That’s what happened in my case,” she said.

LaRue answered an ad she saw on TV. “It said on TV it was $19.99 plus shipping. I went online and ordered it.

No place did it say how much the shipping was,” she said.

But, even after she placed the order for two of the items, she just got a printout without the prices.

“I agreed to pay $39.98.

The shipping and handling was $65.80, but I didn’t

know that till I got the package in the mail,” LaRue said.

The packing slip showed the total cost came to more than $100 – something she says should have been disclosed upfront.

She checked ads for products from different companies and found this is becoming more common.

One ad touted the product as only costing $14.99, but the small print at the bottom said unless you cancel you’ll be charged three monthly payments of $39.99.

After LaRue complained to the company about the shipping charges, a representative agreed to give her a $15 credit.

But that still means the items she wanted cost her $40, and the shipping and handling cost $50 – more than the items themselves.

“I just feel like they’re deceptive and if people aren’t paying attention they’re going to end up spending a lot of money they may not be able to get back,” LaRue said.

So, I contacted the company LaRue had ordered from and was told they don’t disclose the shipping and handling charges in the

a d because the same ad is used in Canada Howard Ain a n d charges Hey Howard! will be quite different there.

They maintain they do disclose the charges before the transaction is completed – and after the state sales taxes are added.

But, LaRue said she never saw that disclosure.

And, while you can cancel your order and get back your money, you can’t get back the shipping costs.

Bottom line, carefully watch out for shipping and handling charges in both TV and print ads.

If they are not disclosed in the ad, be sure to look for the charges before you place your order. As we’ve seen sometimes those charges can be more than the items themselves.

For sheep to be sheep is admirable. That’s their true nature. Sheep are never extolled today or in the scriptures as being clever or courageous.

They seem more helpless than resourceful. They frequently wander off and get lost and are easy prey for predators.

When in trouble, they usually panic and bleat for help from the shepherd.

Sheep are not very smart.

Yet, who can blame a sheep for being a sheep?

They live what they are.

What would be troubling would be to see a bird or a human try to live as a sheep.

Especially a human.

We’ve been created with a rational nature. We are to grow, develop insight and wisdom, possess a mind that enables us to seek and recognize truth and have the courage to live by it.

Relish your fresh peppers this season

My husband Frank and I went to an Amish country produce auction in B a i n bridge, Ohio, near The Seven Caves, at the invitation of Rita f r i e n d s Heikenfeld Bert and B o b Rita’s kitchen Villing.

It was something to see.

As we approached the auction shelter, we saw horse-drawn wagons with huge amounts of pumpkins, melons and produce enter the graveled area.

I understood that folks could bid on the whole wagonload.

Inside the shelter you could walk around and check out the produce in smaller units, like a bushel of squash, three pecks of cucumbers, even up to 100 or so pumpkins and gourds.

The little Amish boys were so cute – running around barefoot with suspendered overalls and hats.

Bert and I bought some beautiful red and green peppers.

I couldn’t wait to get home to make Bert’s red pepper relish. I also made stuffed peppers for supper, with rice, lamb, tomato sauce and seasonings.

Bert’s red pepper relish

No real recipe, but here are Bert’s guidelines slightly adapted by me. Makes 7 to 8 half pints. Measure ingredients after dicing.

6 cups of finely diced red bell peppers (or green, yellow, etc.)

11⁄2 cups finely diced onions Boiling water 1 ⁄2 cup diced jalapeños (opt.)

Grind up peppers and onions in food processor, blender or just chop fine.

Put in bowl and pour boiling water to cover. Let sit five minutes, then drain.

Make brine.

Bring to boil:

2 cups vinegar (I used

Pour into hot jars, clean rims and seal. Process in boiling water bath five minutes.

You can also just cook this up, cool, put in freezer containers and freeze.

mont County and at my church, Holy Trinity in Batavia.

I love her dumplings with the wonderful cinnamon flavor. They are always the first thing to go at any of our events.

This is for Nancy, who began cooking at age 11.

“My mother was a wonderful cook and my best friend.

She passed away last year,” she wrote.

Nancy wanted to re-create her Mom’s dumpling recipe which used brown sugar and cinnamon.

Nancy said her Mom’s sauce was a thin vanilla sauce using cinnamon. I’ve adapted this only slightly.

1 double pie crust 8 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and cored (I’ve used whatever apples I had on hand) 4 teaspoons butter Mix the following and set aside: 1 cup granulated or brown sugar 1 generous tablespoon cinnamon Divide the prepared pie crust into eight equal pieces.

Roll out each piece into the shape of a square about 6 to 8 inches.

To test the size, place an apple in the center of it and see if you can bring the 4 corners up to meet at the top.

Place 1 peeled and cored apple in the center of one of

the squares of rolled pie crust.

Fill the cavity with some of the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Dot the top of the sugar with 1⁄2 tsp. butter.

Bring one corner of the pastry up over the top of the apple. Take the opposite corner and overlap it over the first one. Moisten to seal these two together.

Repeat with the last two corners of the pastry. Moisten to seal the last two corners together.

Place the 8 dumplings in a sprayed baking dish.

Additional recipes for slaw stuffed peppers, pepper relish, pepper hash and vanilla sauce are in Rita’s online column at www.communitypress.com.

Or call 513-591-6163 and leave your name and mailing address.

11⁄2 cups sugar 11⁄2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 cups water 3 tablespoons lemon juice 7-8 cinnamon decorations (little cinnamon Valentine hearts) or more to taste 1 teaspoon vanilla (Rita’s addition)

Tips from Rita’s kitchen

Combine the following syrup ingredients and cook for three minutes.

If you can’t find cinnamon hearts, use a teaspoon of cinnamon and a drop or two of red food coloring if you want.

Pour the syrup over the dumplings in the baking dish. If you want, baste as they bake.

Bake at 375 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes until well browned and a fork pressed into the apple tests soft.

Rewashing prewashed bagged greens: According to “Cook’s Illustrated,” additional washing of ready-toeat bagged salad greens is not likely to enhance safety.

BRIEFLY Western Hills High School has new bleachers for the football, soccer, lacrosse field. When the new baseball field was built at the school, the old football stadium was lost and replaced with a practice field featuring artificial turf and lighting, but no provisions were made for spectators and home games.

Home games were to be played at Stargel Field across from Taft High School.

West High alumni came up with the money. The field now has seating for 450 attendees at any event on the field. The next project will be the addition of a press box and a move to make it the home field for all West High games.

Those who would like to contribute to allow the expansion of this project, please send a donation to The Alumni Foundation, in care of Western Hills High School, 2144 Ferguson Road, Cincinnati, OH 45238.

Committed to the great biblical doctrines of God’s sovereign grace in salvation as maintained in the Protestant Reformed tradition: the salvation of sinners is by God’s grace alone, through the work of Christ alone, and received as a free gift by faith alone apart from any human merit and there fore all the glory must be to God alone.

One services are designed to be God-centered, Christ-exalting and biblically driven. We believe and teach the Bible as the inspired Word of God and that it is sufficient to instruct us in all that we need to know about salvation through Jesus Christ and godly living.

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills!

Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era.

Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors.

The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
