Birthday song
Lauren Hayhow, 18, and Audrey McQuaullah, 8, had the whole school and American Idol 2008 winner Kris Allen sing happy birthday to the two while Kris Allen was at Seton High School in Price Hill. Allen performed at Seton after the school teamed with WKRQ-FM Q102 radio to raise $10,000 for Breast Cancer Awareness, which was twice the goal of $5,000. He is the third celebrity to visit to honor the school’s charitable contributions.
A number of confirmed cases of H1N1 flu have been identified in area school districts in the past few weeks and officials are encouraging students who show flu symptoms to stay home. Megan Hummel, spokeswoman for the Hamilton County Public Health, said her agency is working closely with area schools to coordinate distribution of H1N1 vaccinations. Local parochial schools and public schools have secured consent forms but Hummel said no one knows when the vaccines will be administered. “We have received some shipments, but not all. It should be soon,” she said. Marilyn Crumpton, medical director of the Cincinnati Health Department’s division of school and adolescent medicine, oversees health services for Cincinnati Public Schools. She is reminding parents to keep their children home if they’re sick. “One of the issues we’ve had a little challenge with is a number of families, maybe they don’t have thermometers or they’re not thinking, is my child sick this
morning, and they’re sending them off to school,” she said. “We’ve had a number of instances where kids have actually come to school pretty sick and the challenge is how to get a hold of the family and get the children home as soon as possible.” At CPS and other school districts, nurses are reminding students and teachers to practice good hygiene, including frequent hand washing and covering coughs and sneezes. Crumpton said nurses even visit individual classrooms if two or three students are out with flulike symptoms to check students’ temperatures twice a day. School and health department officials monitor daily attendance in CPS. On Oct. 5, 1,900, district students were out sick. A week later, 2,900 students were out. Cynthia Eghbalnia, environmental health and safety services coordinator for CPS, said normally the district’s absentee rate averages 4 to 5 percent, but now it’s up to 8 percent some days. Information about the H1N1 virus, prevention, symptoms and the vaccines is available on the health district’s Web site at www.hamiltoncountyhealth.org.

Ray Gebhardt said his favorite memory from high school is beating Elder in football his senior year. “We beat Elder 7-6,” said Gebhardt, a Green Township resident and Western Hills High School alumnus. “Back then we played that game on Thanksgiving Day, and it was colder than hell that year.” He said the game was played on the University of Cincinnati’s football field, which was in poor condition because it rained for two straight days prior to the game.

Delhi chief completes FBI training By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
Delhi Township Police Chief James Howarth has yet another diploma and coffee mug to add to his collection. Howarth earned those items and a very special yellow brick during his recent 10-week FBI training. The yellow brick, he said, didn’t come easy. “We had to complete a 6.1-mile obstacle course used for Marine training,” he said. “They nicknamed the Yellow Brick Road and it was tough.” The physical rigors
matched the eight hours each day spent in class. Howarth was one of 255 in the 238th FBI session. Howarth said he had been on a waiting list since to attend the academy training for more than a year. “It’s a very prestigious program and only 2 percent of police in the country are picked to attend,” he said. Once nominated for the academy, police officers undergo an extensive background check and interview process. There is no cost to the township for academy attendance.

Meth bust leaves Sayler Park neighbors in cold Gannett News Service Residents of a 12-unit apartment building on Revere Road waited for hours Oct. 21 to get back into their homes as Cincinnati Police dismantled a methamphetamine lab in one of the apartment units. Police say Michael Mobley, 27, of Sayler Park, was
to blame. Mobley was arrested about 12:30 p.m. Oct. 21 in the 2400 block of River Road by a Cincinnati police officer after he was pulled over in his 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada. At the time of his arrest he had marijuana and meth in the car, along with chem-

Mobley had several warrants for his arrest for not showing up to court on two occasions this year after being stopped by police on Aug. 7 and again on Sept. 21 for driving with a suspended license and other minor traffic offenses. He admitted to having a meth lab in his apartment in the 100 block of Revere Road in Sayler Park, according to his arrest report. Officers, including members of the Cincinnati SWAT team, cleared the building and began taking apart the operation. At 6:15 p.m. – more than five hours after Mobley’s arrest – his neighbors

Mount student pays for fire damage Gannett News Service The student who set fires at the College of Mount St. Joseph in March has repaid all the police and fire departments that investigated the
blazes. Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Steve Martin signed an entry Oct. 13 noting Jordan Cullen, 19, paid all of the restitution. She pleaded guilty in

Those who saw the purple wave making its way through west-side neighborhoods should know the Elder High School students weren’t cutting class. Elder’s entire student body walked through Price Hill, Westwood, Cheviot and Bridgetown for a good cause Monday, Oct. 12. The students were taking part in the 36th annual Elder Walk for Others. “It’s a tradition at Elder,” said Trina Schapker, the school’s annual fund director who helps organize the walk. “The students have been participating in the walk since 1973. They used to walk 20 miles, but now it’s a 12-mile course.” Schapker said students solicit donations from their families, friends and neighbors for the walk and all the money raised benefits those in need. “Seventy-five percent of the proceeds goes toward tuition assistance at Elder and 25 percent goes to the different charities we support throughout the year,” she said. “This year teachers really stressed to the students the importance of where the money goes because of the economy.” Elder senior Ryan Ruffing, of Delhi Township, said he’s enjoyed taking part in the walk all four years. He said while it’s great to get outside and have a fun time walking with friends, it’s also important to remember why they do it. “Raising the money means a lot to me and my friends,” he said. “I think it’s great we’re able to take a day and do something like this.” Schapker said this year’s walk raised more than $66,000, which exceeded the goal Elder set for themselves. She said students can earn a

And since the students met their goal this year, everyone gets a free day off school. She said some of the charities the walk supports include Miracle League Adapted Baseball, Price Hill Will, The Women’s Connection, Project El-Moe, Our Daily Bread, Tender Mercies and Santa Maria Community Services. “Elder is a school that is steeped in tradition and community support,” Schapker said. “The students and faculty realize that if everyone joins together we can do a lot to help. It goes back to the giving spirit of Elder.”

Turnovers spell doom for Mustangs By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
The Western Hills High School football team fell 31-0 to Withrow on Oct. 17. It was the second straight loss for the Mustangs (3-5). West High opened the year with losses to Richmond (Ind.), Mount Healthy and Central. “We had double-digit turnovers in those first three games,” head coach Paul Jenne said. “Add that up, and see what your record will be.” It’ll be 0-3. Still, West High could’ve easily won two of those games; the Mustangs lost to Richmond and Mount Healthy by a combined three points. In fact, West High has lost three games this season by a total of 10 points. After its 0-3 start, however, the Mustangs reeled off three straight victories over Shroder Paideia, Woodward and Aiken. The defense allowed just eight points per game in those three victories. “Our defense has played well all season,” Jenne said. “It was just a matter of our offense not giving away the ball.” Jenne has been particularly impressed with defensive playmakers Deonsae Cardwell (DE), Tyrie Lovette (DL) and Darius Baker (LB). West High closes the season with two road games against Taft (Oct. 23) and Elder (Oct. 30). Jenne is focused on finishing the year strong. “We just want to give ourselves a chance to win without turning the ball over,” he said. “That’s our goal.”
Elder 34, Columbus DeSales 24
The Panthers exploded for 27 second-half points to snap a two-game skid. Elder led 7-3 at halftime and fell behind after allowing an 80-yard touchdown run by Columbus St. Francis DeSales quarterback Nick Gentile on the first play from scrimmage in the third quarter. Panther tight end Alex Welch, however, answered with a 21-yard touchdown reception, his second score of the night; Welch finished with five catches for 89

Western Hills High School senior quarterback Dominique Williams, here in practice last week, has led the Mustangs offensive this season. yards. Elder lost the lead again on a 63-yard touchdown run by DeSales running back Adam Griffin, but Panther running back Ben Coffaro carried Elder to victory. He scored three touchdowns in the second half and finished with 23 rushes for 106 yards. Coffaro also had four receptions for 49 yards. Elder quarterback Mark Miller threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns. It was an encouraging win for the Panthers, which entered the week at No. 4 in the Harbin Ratings. Elder, however, struggled to stop the run for the second straight game; the Panthers have yielded 660 rushing yards in the last two weeks, including 337 against DeSales. Elder (6-2, 1-2) has a bye before finishing the regular season at home against Western Hills. The Panthers are projected to earn a firstround playoff game against Centerville.
Middletown 40, Oak Hills 0
The Highlanders aim to snap a four-game losing streak as Oak Hills attempts to play the part of the postseason spoiler in week nine and week 10. Oak Hills hosts a pair of ranked teams on the cusp of qualifying for the Division I playoffs to close the season. The Highlanders host No. 7 Lakota West (7-1) in week nine at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23. Oak Hills then hosts No. 6
Colerain (6-2) in week 10 at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23. In week eight, No. 3 Middletown (8-0) continued its undefeated season with a win over Oak Hills, 40-0. The Highlanders fell to 35 with the loss. Oak Hills once stood at 31 following a week-four win over Mason, 13-10. However, the Highlanders lost all four of its games since hosting Mason including losses to No. 15 Fairfield, Lakota East, No. 11 Princeton and No. 3 Middletown. Against Middletown, the Middies out-gained the Highlanders by a 321-97 yard margin including 154 rushing yards for Middletown. Oak Hills’ Thomas Konkoly rushed for 35 yards on 13 carries. Cory Burgin added 35 yards on 11 carries for Oak Hills. Highlander quarterback Steve Gebing was 5-of-9 passing for 33 yards with an interception. Antonio Banks led the way for Middletown against Oak Hills as the Middie rushed for three touchdowns and 56 yards on 12 carries. All team rankings stem from the Enquirer’s Division I Coaches’ Poll for week seven.
Moeller 35, La Salle 14
A winless season in the powerhouse Greater Catholic League South Division likely
puts the La Salle Lancers on the outside looking in on the Division I playoffs. However, a winning record is still on the line as the Lancers, now standing at 4-4, play host to St. Francis DeSales at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23, in week nine. Entering week eight, La Salle was in a must-win situation facing off against No. 1 Moeller (8-0). But for the second-consecutive week, the Lancers fell to a No. 1 team as the Crusaders bested La Salle, 35-14. Moeller opened up a 28-0 lead in the first half against La Salle The Lancers bounced back to win the second half by a 14-7 margin but the damage had been done. Moeller out-gained La Salle by a 351-265 yard margin with Andrew Hendrix and Tucker Skove leading the way for the Crusaders. Hendrix was 19-of-31 passing for 195 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions. Hendrix also rushed for two touchdowns while gaining 32 yards on eight carries. Skove rushed for one touchdown and gained 72 yards on 12 carries. Andrew Kummer led the way for La Salle during the loss while going 17-of-40 passing for 190 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Kummer also rushed for 39 yards. Matt Farrell scored one touchdown for La Salle while toting the ball seven times for 28 yards. Rodriguez Coleman was on the receiving end of Kummer’s touchdown pass. Coleman hauled in four catches for 43 yards. Marco Dates, Tony Appiarius and Joe Andrews each recorded one sack against Moeller. In week seven, La Salle fell to St. Xavier, 24-7. The Bombers and Crusaders were tied at No. 1 atop Cincinnati’s poll at the time of the game. La Salle finished at 0-3 in the GCL South Division. The Lancers fell to Elder, 23-13, in week five. All three of La Salle’s GCL South Division foes were ranked No. 1 in Cincinnati at the time of the games including Elder in week five.
All city rankings stem from the Enquirer’s Division I Coaches’ Poll for week seven. La Salle was No. 18 in the Division I Region 4 Harbin Ratings for week seven with a computer average of 8.9. St. Xavier was No. 1 in the week-seven Harbin Ratings at 23.09 followed by No. 2 Moeller at 21.83, No. 3 Anderson at 17.55 and No. 4 Elder at 16.53. The top four teams host home games for the first week of the playoffs. With the top eight teams advancing to the playoffs, No. 8 Lebanon would represent the last qualifying Division I team at 13.54 if the season ended after seven weeks.
St. Xavier 3, Lakewood St. Edward 2
St. X took a 3-0 lead on a 27-yard field goal by Robert Leonard in the second quarter, and the defense took it from there. The Bombers picked off St. Edwards quarterback Brad Staples twice and held him to 2-of-9 passing for 7 yards. A strategic safety by St. Xavier prevented the Bombers from notching their second shutout of the season; they defeated Colerain 16-0 in the season-opener. St. X has allowed seven or fewer points in five of its eight games this year. The Bombers, which typically feature a potent rushing attack, rushed 43 times against St. Edward for just 112 yards – an average of 2.6 yards per carry. Quarterback Luke Massa, however, was 17-of-25 passing for 158 yards and completed passes to eight different receivers. St. X (7-1, 2-0) now prepares for a brutal two-game stretch to close the regular season; the Bombers travel to Cleveland to play St. Ignatius – ranked No. 1 in the state – at John Carroll University on Oct. 24. St. X then returns home for a trick-or-treat special against Moeller – ranked No. 1 in the city – at Nippert Stadium on Halloween night. At stake against Moeller (8-0, 2-0) is the GCL-South title and a likely No. 1 seed in the playoffs. St. X is currently No. 1 in the Harbin Ratings, with the Crusaders sitting at No. 2.
Seton golf team wraps strong season By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Seton golf team finished the season at 14-9 in match play and had one of its best seasons in recent years. “We play in such a strong league so I was very happy with the season, I thought the girls did a great job,” said head coach Lindsey Theissen. The team finished in fifth place at the sectional tournament, finishing just eight strokes away from qualifying for the district tournament. And the team set a school record with its score that day. “That tells you how good girls golf is in the area if we set the school record and still didn’t qualify,” Theissen said. “We broke a lot of records this year. The golf
team is getting better and better.” The standout of the team was senior captain Bailey Arnold, who qualified for the state tournament again as an individual. “I knew every match I could pull on her to have a good score and we’d have at least one good round,” Theissen said. “She is such a hard worker and she’s a big reason why we did so well this year. She averaged a 37 and was the medalist in every match except one. She was phenomenal this year.” Arnold’s sister, Molly, was another standout for Seton. Molly also qualified for the district tournament for the second straight season. Theissen is hoping Molly will pick up where Bailey left off next season. “She will be our No. 1

Vogel was another senior that consistently scored in the high 40s. “The girls were all pretty focused this year,” Theissen said. “They were more competitive and wanted to get better and they wanted to win.” Theissen said she thinks the success will draw more interest in the program and that the program is already getting more golfers who have played before high school. Seton will have a young team in 2010, led by Molly Arnold. Sarah Banfill and Andrea Toth are two other key players who will be back for Seton in 2010. “If Molly gets better and takes Bailey’s place, we have the potential to be right where we are this year again next year,” Theissen said.

Western tennis club hosting college tourney The University of Cincinnati women’s tennis team will be competing in the Wilson/Intercollegiate Tennis Association Women’s Ohio Valley Championships, Oct. 22-26, said head coach Angela Wilson.

The Bearcats are competing in the tournament for the first time in school history. Last season, second-year head coach Angela Wilson guided Cincinnati to a 16-9 record. The 16 wins were fourth most in school history for a single season. However, tournaments like this are good tests for a young team trying to compete in the Big East Conference.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Candidates night
I attended the recent candidates night sponsored by the Delhi Civic Association and heard the remarks and comments by the candidates for trustee. Without exception, these candidates seem very dedicated to their vision of the township and the future of our community. I was pleased to see some candidates running for the first time with new ideas and with a fresh commitment to work together as we face some financial challenges in the near future. I was particularly impressed with Mary Brigham. Delhi needs a woman on the board of trustees. She has the leadership and the vision that we need and most importantly, she brings a promise of collaboration that is new and refreshing. Melissa Grove Rapid Run Road Delhi Township
New face
I agree with (Mike) Scapicchio’s recent letter saying that Delhi needs a new face. Mary Brigham is a new face and would bring new energy and new ideas to the Delhi Township Board of Trustees. Trustee Luebbers is a decent and honorable man, but he has served for many years and the time has come for a change. Mary L. Skelly Grossepointe Lane Delhi Township
Delhi needs Rhodes
Both trustees Mike Davis and Al Duebber decided to hire an architect for a new fire house. They both signed a purchase order with no public discussion and no advance notice that the issue was under consideration. For pointing out what appeared to violate the state’s Sunshine Law, Kevin Rhodes has been treated to name-calling, innuendo and personal abuse as in last week’s letter-to-the-editor from Melissa Murdock. The way Mike Davis and his supporters have responded to this legitimate criticism says a lot more about him than it does about Kevin. And shows once again how much we need Kevin Rhodes on the Delhi board of trustees. Penny Dieck Delhi Pike Delhi Township
Support Brigham
I have had the privilege of knowing the Brigham family for 18 years. They are my friends. Mary Brigham and her husband, Chip, have served with a number of community groups and local causes. They both work in Delhi Township and have raised their two children here. They helped pull this community together when they chaired the campaign to support our police and fire after the defeat of the levies in 2004. Chip is currently active in the Delhi business community serving as the president of the Delhi Business Association, while Mary

Vote for right reasons
Sometimes people will ask me why the trustees do not respond to letters to the editor, especially when someone may raise a question or make accusations which can seem absurd or ridiculous. Personally, I try not to respond because I feel if someone has a genuine concern they should address their concerns at a board of trustees meeting or at least to the township administrator and not in letters to an editor or online chat blogs. The trustees are always open to constructive criticism when addressed in the appropriate forum and manner. Delhi is a great community with much to offer our families and residents. I am proud of our advancements over the last several years. Our neighborhoods are safe and our fire department has a superior rating in public protection, which less than 5 percent of the fire divisions across the country have. Our streets are being repaired and Delhi Pike will soon get a facelift after 25 years, which hopefully will attract new businesses. Our Floral Paradise Gardens and Delhi Park are looking great, complete with a new lake area with a bike-and-walk trail for residents to enjoy. I hope you share the enthusiasm and appreciate the positive improvements being made within our township. I think as a thriving community, we shouldn’t focus so much on what divides us but rather what unites us. Mike Davis President Delhi Township Board of Trustees
Thanks to the Press for their fine job alerting us about the candidates and issues that will be on the ballot next month. That being the case, have you even wished for some of the following: We just jail politicians flat out for: 1. Slanting the issues; 2. Hiring friends and relatives; 3. Showing us their old face picture from 25 years ago; 4. Telling voters that its necessary to rehire a retiree. Wouldn’t you rather see: 1. Qualified, educated issues and candidates; 2. New faces with education and fresh ideas; 3. Eight-, 10- and 12-year term limits for all (issues) and candidates; 4. A pay scale based on education and experience; 5. Deductions of, say, 10 percent from each candidates salary each pay period donated to a Delhi cause, 6. Elect candidates who have served their country in some fashion; 7. A mandatory list of accomplishments posted every six months for their time in office; 8. All non-elected government employees be retired with 25 or 30 years and no re-hiring as a double dipper in any government capacity, etc. Isn’t it great living is a free country? Vote for the right reasons. Bill Keenan Victoryview Lane Delhi Township
Vote for Davis
Kudos for parks crew
Since everyone is adding their two cents on who to vote for I want to give my family’s endorsement to Trustee Mike Davis. I have lived in this township for decades and have seen many trustees come and go, but not ones as nice, professional, and as talented as Trustee Davis. He has a nice, balanced approach in his decision making and seems genuinely concerned that all sides are heard before making decisions that affect our township. Plus, he has a nice sense of humor, which is always appreciated when watching some of the trustee meetings on television that can go late into the evening. My family and I also caught one of his shows that he performed for The Shield and Crimestoppers, which helped raise funds for officers who are injured in the line of duty. He was terrific. Nice that he shares his talents for worthy causes in the area. He is a very down-to-earth person if you speak with him and we feel he is a joy to have as a trustee. We love Delhi and are thrilled with the changes he has helped to implement in our parks and are

I just read the Delhi Press and the complaints people have about chasing the Canadian geese with dogs from Delhi Park. In the past I have tried to walk on the trail around the lake but there was so much goose poop I had to quit. When it rains the poop pollutes the lake and makes it a health hazard. The geese also make it a safety hazard when they walk across the road and all the traffic comes to a screeching halt. Prior to this administration of Davis and Duebber, Delhi Park was an eyesore, maintenance was non-existent and there was no improvement to the park system. Ever since a recreation director was hired there has been a marked improvement to the Delhi Park, especially planting the number of trees this year and improvement to the baseball fields. Hats off to Sandy Monahan and the park crew. Bob Brigger Kincardine Drive Delhi Township

Include your name, address and phone number(s) so we may verify your letter. Letters of 200 or fewer words and columns of 500 or fewer words have the best chance of being published. All submissions may be writer boasting about (Mary) Brigham’s educational accomplishments and complaining about suggestions that she would be a puppet for Al Duebber, the facts remain the same. She is Al Duebber’s handpicked candidate who was originally defeated in her endorsement bid, but then she was handed the endorsement by default when the other candidate dropped out. The facts remain the same. Brigham’s husband is Mr. Duebber’s best friend and personal attorney. There is no way she could bring objectivity to the table. Brigham would still be a puppet, but perhaps an educated puppet. Jack Backs Halidonhill Lane Delhi Township
Tassopoulos for school board
As you see the political signs for candidates and read in the Press about what they plan to do or where they have been, do you wonder if these candidates are real people or just names on a sign? I can tell you about one of these candidates, Ritsa Tassopoulos, who is running for a seat on the Oak Hills board of education. I first became friends with Ritsa in the early ‘70s when we became neighbors. Ritsa was a welcoming spirit. Her warm personality and willingness to help gave everyone who met her a feeling of genuine friendship. Ritsa has given a lifetime of energy and love to her commitment for teaching our children. She has spent 28 of her 35 years of teaching in the Oak Hills schools. Her excellence in teaching has brought many awards and she was asked to be a literacy coach for the district in her last seven years. Her love for helping our children is endless. Even now in her retirement she still wants to be part of that educational process. She knows what is needed for our children to succeed and we desperately need her on the board.

Do you know who lives next door?
I am an officer in our local chapter of the American Council of the Blind of Ohio, and I had a strange conversation with one of our members this week. She lives in the Green Township area. I called her to tell her that we missed her at our last meeting on Oct. 6. We hold our monthly business meetings downtown at the YWCA at 898 Walnut St. beginning at 6 p.m. and ending around 7:30 p.m. Our fellow member who rides the bus to and from downtown several times a week and who uses the bus to come to our ACBOhio local chapter meetings told me that she cannot attend meetings in the fall and winter because it gets dark too early. Our ACBOhio member recently moved to a large apartment building in the Green Township area and she does not feel safe walking the short distance from the bus stop to her home after dark. My question to her was: "Can't someone in your building meet you at the bus stop and walk you home once a month?" She informed me that, after living there several months, she does not know anyone. Do you think that there is something very wrong with this picture? I am talking both about neighbors not helping one another and about neighbors not even knowing one another. Do you think our conversation was strange? If you grew up when and where I did, you would think it mighty strange. Joyce Rogers Morado Drive Covedale

Pinpointing Jackson’s home Recently I wrote a series of articles on the early history of Green Township. The series was based on a collection of letters housed at Cincinnati Historical Society. They were written by Isaac Jackson to his family in New York and paint a good picture of life in the wilderness in 1813. Jackson purchased three quarter sections of land in section 13 and 14 in Green Township from the Findlay, Burnet, and Harrison partnership. The farm was on the border of Delhi Township. I wasn’t sure where the land was located. I consulted Paul Ruffling of the Green Township Historical Association. He said they lived around Sidney Road and Sidney Road could have been named for Isaac Jackson’s son, Sidney who had a large nursery there. After the articles ran I received an e-mail from a resident of Green Township that eventually placed the land to its exact location. Lois Schuppig remembered seeing the name Jackson on some old grave stones near her childhood home, back in the 1940s and 1950s. She and her brother played on Dr. Charles Murray’s farm across from Rosebud Lane. Rosebud
Lane is off Muddy Creek Road across from Our Lady of Lourdes Church. She remembered seeing a partially burned barn, a white frame house, numerous fruit trees and blackberry bushes. She wondered if this was the Jackson in my article. I sent her e-mail to Paul Ruffling, and he did some research. What he found cleared up everything. Isaac oldest son, Thomas owned the Murray farm in 1869. It was part of his 80-acre inheritance from his father. Paul also found a 1922 Sanborn map. It placed the farm, along with the Jackson Graveyard, behind the current-day Our Lady of Lourdes Church. The farm was on Bridgetown Road which was changed to Glenway Avenue. His research never stopped there. He wondered what happened to the graves, and on a hunch checked the Web site at Spring Grove Cemetery. Sure enough there they were Jacksons there in two different places, section 74 lot 36 and section 43 lot 49. “I visited Spring Grove and found the two sections – there is one large marker in each – one for SS Jackson

Maybe when they moved the bodies to Spring Grove in 1867 they left the old headstones behind.” The Spring Grove records show that four of Thomas (Sidney’s brother) Jackson’s children died before the age of 7 – Mary age 4 in 1829, Wharton age 3 of cholera in 1834, Louisa age 6 of cholera in 1834, and Frederick age 6 months of lung inflammation in 1837. Also four of Sidney Jackson’s children died early – Elizabeth age 15 of scarlet fever in 1843, Isaac age 22, and Reeve age 18 both drowned in the Miami River in 1858, and John age 27 died of wounds received at the battle of Vicksburg in the Civil War in 1863. The grave stones left behind must have been what Lois Schuppig and her brother saw when they were children playing on Murray’s farm.

Library ‘overdue’ for changes Now the public library comes hat in hand asking for even more tax money, despite being the best-funded library system in the state of Ohio. But the facts are clear: Overspending for guest speakers, free book giveaways, billboards and media campaigns (all timed for the tax levy vote) show a disregard of our tax dollars. In addition, they have failed to look for additional revenue streams, which we expect prudent and responsible managers of public tax dollars to do. They have made draconian staff and salary reductions, yet waste funds on meaningless and ineffective programs. It is easy to urge others to make cuts and improve their financial standing and then not make suggestions. Here are just a few items that generate revenue or reduce costs. This list was shared in much more detail with the library staff and board, yet sadly rejected since it might make too much sense. 1. Using 2008 figures, the library loaned more than 15.6 million items; 45 percent or approximately 6.9 million were audiovisual and digital. A simple $1 charge per item would raise $6.9 mil-

that. Serious consideration must be give to closing these underutilized branches. Every one of these branches is within two miles of another branch. 3. Of the branches, the library owns 30; three have a rent of $1 or less, but seven pay full rent. It would seem logical to stop paying rent. 4. Currently one can run up fines to $9.99 without loss of privileges. Dropping this tolerance to $4.99 and thus forcing the repayment of outstanding fines could result in $374,000 to $721,000. 5. There are 206,000 cardholders in Hamilton County and 29,000 out-ofcounty cardholders. The library lists a $25 charge to out-of-county cardholders, yet the library has not collected this fee for

lion. 2. The 40-branch network, not counting the main library, circulates 10.9 million items with the average of 272,000 each. Yet nine branches circulate one-third or less than
years. With Hamilton County taxpayers now paying a new tax, shouldn’t out-ofcounty users pay something? 6. Some have advocated charging the 206,000 cardholders $1 a year. After all, the Hamilton County parks charge a fee even after we are taxed. 7. Library employees are paid every two weeks. Many state employees are paid monthly. This simple change saves money. 8. Was buying 1,000 copies of the last “Harry Potter” necessary? That is 25 copies a branch. Once again, the library is not Barnes & Noble. We have witnessed the pulling of hundreds of books off the shelves that were never checked out. And where are those copies of “Harry Potter” now? Overbuying of DVDs in order to have the latest hot release is wrong; they are not Blockbuster and should not even try to complete. The library has not been a good steward of our tax dollars. We should not give them more until long “overdue” changes are made. Tom Brinkman Jr. served for eight years in the Ohio General Assembly from eastern Hamilton County.

We can close the door to what we want Too often we are our own worst enemy. We badly want or need something, yet behave in such a way that we diminish our chances of getting it. For example: we’re lonely and look for a friend or someone to love us. And voila, we meet a likeable person who shows some interest in us. And what is our reaction? We desperately cling to them, phone or text message them 10 times a day, or express jealousy if they have other friends. Unless they’re equally obtuse, they’ll soon leave. We drive them away by giving them reason to fear suffocation, or that they’ll lose themselves in the black hole of our needs. On the other hand, we might close the door by exhibiting the
opposite behavior. We are lonely and looking, but portray a selfsufficiency, gruffness or coolness that says in unspoken words, “Me, need someFather Lou one? No way! Guntzelman Needing is only weaklings.” Perspectives for Once again, the other person goes away. Who wants to stand before a closed door? Multiply those situations in various scenarios and we way get a picture of many people’s lives. There are sales-people who want to make a sale and become pushy or turn into a leach; parents who yearn for more time with their
adult children yet engender guilt trips when then come; clergy who encourage church attendance, yet constantly preach fear and treat attendees as children. If we are door-closers, how do we counter our tendency to be one? Of course, the first step is to “know yourself” – as the early Greeks were wise enough to realize. We must honestly analyze our own behavior and realistically examine our words, actions and attitudes. Are we aware of our choice of words or implied impressions, and the result they have on others? Can we detect our possessive, arrogant or insulting manner of acting or speaking? Step two. We need to become students of human nature. It doesn’t take a Mensa Society IQ to rec-
ognize the basic dynamics of our shared humanness. One of the most precious things we all need and hope for is expressed by the clinical term empathic resonance. You and I are yearning for someone who genuinely “resonates” with us – who will understand us and recognize how we may feel in the circumstances of life. We are not asking that someone always agree with us, but that there is a genuine connection of their person with “my” person. What a satisfaction it is when someone stands in my shoes for a moment. That indicates a door is open. We tend not to shut as many doors when we remember and sense that though we are unique, there is still a solidarity within our
human nature. Perhaps I’ve quoted her words too often, but I really feel Lily Tomlin expressed a great truth when she said, “We’re all in this together, by ourselves!” Our children are not children any longer; a customer is profit, a salesperson is overhead; parishioners are fellow-seekers, and clergy are not gods with thunderbolts; and a person seeking love and understanding, well, that’s all of us.

The staff and its contributors traveled across the country visiting haunted attractions and interviewing haunted house owners about their favorite haunts. “We think it’s too difficult to say that one haunt is better than another-after all, each haunt has its own style, pace, and thematic approach,” said publisher John Kennedy.

Popcorn is the all-ages snack for the season
When we were kids, Mom had a certain aluminum saucepan that she popped corn in. I remember the lid was a bit battered so that when the popcorn started popping, some would pop all the way to the ceiling. Fun! Now making popcorn is a lot easier with non-stick pans or microwave bags. Popcorn and Halloween are synonymous. It’s the one celebration that transcends ages when it comes to the kinds of food served – a time to go back being a kid again, enjoying monster eyes and popcorn balls and telling ghoulish ghost stories.
Aunt Lil’s baked caramel corn
From friend Carolyn Grieme, a Northern Kentucky reader who believes, like I do, that cooking with family from heirloom recipes is not only satisfy-
ing, but preserves personal history, as well. H e r e ’s what she told me about this Rita r e c i p e : Heikenfeld “This is handed Rita’s kitchen d o w n from my Aunt Lil. We don’t know for sure, but we believe she may have gotten the recipe from one of her fellow church members. “She was very involved for many years in various ways at her church, St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, Barnsburg (Cincinnati). Whenever we invited family over for holiday dinners or just a common get together, Aunt Lil would always come with gifts. “Often she would bring large bags of this baked caramel corn, which we all loved. Other times, she
would bring plants that she had dug out of her yard for us to transplant to our own yards – she loved gardening as well.”
2 sticks butter or margarine 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 1 ⁄2 cup corn syrup 1 teaspoon salt 1 ⁄2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla 24 cups popped corn (about 2-3 bags microwave popped or 1 cup unpopped) Boil butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt. Stir constantly, about five minutes. Remove from heat, stir in baking soda and vanilla. Gradually pour mixture over popped corn and mix well. Pour into shallow pans - Carolyn uses two or three 9-by-13-inch pans. Bake at 250 degrees for one hour. Stir every 15 minutes. Cool completely, and break apart. Store in tight containers.
Tips from Rita’s kitchen:
• Add a couple cups nuts to the corn to make a Cracker Jack like treat. • Spray the bowl, spoon, etc. for easy mixing.
Marshmallow popcorn balls or squares
I’ll be making these with the grandkids this week. You can make all sorts of shapes – like ghosts, tombstones, etc. and decorate with tiny candies. You can also put these on sticks, make tiny balls for a party, etc. 1 ⁄2 cup popcorn, popped or 1 bag microwave popcorn, popped (11-12 cups popped corn) 5-6 cups mini marshmallows (about a 10 oz bag) 6 tablespoons butter or margarine 11⁄2 teaspoons vanilla l cup mini M&M type candies (optional) Melt marshmallows and
butter over low heat. Stir until smooth. Add vanilla and blend. Combine candies with popcorn in a bowl sprayed with vegetable spray, and pour marshmallow mixture over. Mix well with sprayed spatula and spoon and form into balls with sprayed hands or pour into sprayed 9-by-13-inch pan (when chilled, cut into squares).
Monster eyes
You can form the balls ahead minus the olives and refrigerate. Just increase the baking time. 3 cups all purpose baking mix (I use Kroger brand) 1 pound uncooked regular or hot pork sausage 8 oz Muenster or cheddar cheese, shredded Pimento-stuffed olives Preheat oven to 400. Mix everything together and shape into small 11⁄4 inches or so balls. Put on sprayed baking sheet. Press
1 pimiento-stuffed olive into the center of each ball, pressing so it will stick. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Did you know popcorn is good for you?
It’s a whole grain with 4 grams of fiber per serving. Eating popcorn may curb your appetite. Folks who ate 1 cup of fat-free popcorn half an hour before a meal ate less than folks who snacked on an equal amount of potato chips. Popcorn has more dietary fiber and antioxidants than any other snack food. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author.

Tips on how to be careful when using candles Each year more than 15,000 candle fires are reported in the United States. The bulk of candle-fire incidents are due to consumer inattention to basic fire safety or to the misuse of candles. Annually, candle-fire incidents result in an
estimated 150 civilian deaths, 1,270 civilian injuries and an estimated direct property loss of $539 million. Homes include dwellings, duplexes, manufactured housing and apartments. The Cincinnati Fire Department urges citizens to
be careful when burning candles, and to follow rules for burning candles safely; such rules are simple but life saving. By following some of the outlined precautionary tips, individuals can greatly reduce their chances of becoming a fire casualty.
The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati
• Always keep a burning candle within sight. Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep. • Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc. • Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Do not place lighted candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else. • Trim candlewicks to each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks cause uneven burning and
dripping. • Always use a candleholder specifically designed for candle use. The holder should be heat resistant, sturdy and large enough to contain any drips or melted wax. • Be sure the candleholder is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface. This will also help prevent possible heat damage to counters and table surfaces and prevent glass containers from cracking or breaking. • Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times. • Always read and follow the manufacturer’s use and safety instructions care-
fully. Don’t burn a candle longer than the manufacturer recommends. • Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room. Don’t burn too many candles in a small room or in a “tight” home where air exchange is limited. • Don’t burn a candle all the way down. Extinguish the flame if it comes too close to the holder or container. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 2 inches of wax remains or ∏ inch if in a container. • Never use a candle as a night-light. • Call 9-1-1 immediately if a fire occurs.

Fallen firefighter's family to help others Gannett News Service They want him to be remembered for his life. Not his death. So, Brian Schira’s family members established a scholarship fund that bears his name and will help others reach his life’s goal. They set up the fund with $133,000. That represents all of the money the community donated in Schira’s memory since the
unmarried 29-year-old lost his life April 4, 2008, along with a fellow Colerain Township firefighter, Capt. Robin Zang Broxterman, while fighting an early morning house fire. The scholarships will go to firefighters planning to make a career out of battling blazes and saving lives. “Our family believes in celebrating life,” said Christine Brummer, Schira’s aunt and counselor to the fund’s
board, during an informal board meeting. “That means you give back and share.” That’s exactly what the family is doing with the Brian W. Schira “102” Scholarship. The “102” stands for the number of the firehouse where Schira and Broxterman were stationed on that fateful day. The first three recipients – Dave Benken of the Delhi

The recipients of the Brian W. Schira “102” Scholarship given to firefighters so they can go to school to study to be a paramedic are, from left, Craig Niehuas of the Colerain Township Fire Department, David Berker of the Delhi Township Fire Department, and Ryan Frank of the Colerain Township department. Township Fire Department; Ryan Frank of the Colerain, Delhi and Whitewater township fire departments; and Craig Niehaus of the Colerain Township Fire Department – were honored last week during ceremonies at the Fire Museum of Greater Cincinnati in downtown Cincinnati. The scholarships will enable the three firefighters to go to school to study to be a paramedic. “The state of Ohio will not allow you to be a fulltime firefighter without going to school for your paramedic certification and passing the national test,” Brummer said. “Those classes were going to be Brian’s next step,” said his older brother, Eric Schira, an accountant and chairman of the fund’s board of directors. “It was just a matter of getting the money together.” To pay for his paramedic classes, Brian Schira worked three jobs. He served as a part-time firefighter for the fire departments of Colerain and Delhi townships. In his spare time, he worked at the Western Hills Home Depot.

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.

giving so much to us. The firefighters were giving us so much help. We thought we would come up with a way to help them both.” The scholarship fund gives the family “the chance to move forward,” Brummer added. “We had Brian for 29 years,” she said. But, after the fire, the subsequent media coverage, a public funeral and a communitywide outpouring of sympathy, “we were constantly being reminded of the day we lost him.” Brummer stressed she did not want to appear unappreciative. “People meant well,” she said. “But you can’t move forward, you can’t heal, if you are being yanked back to that day.” She believes the scholarship will help her family heal as well as aid the community. “This scholarship will give us well-trained firefighters ready to help people in need,” she said. “Brian loved to help people,” she added. “So, this way, he’s still serving the community.”

“Trying to become fulltime firefighters, theses guys have so much on their plate,” said Schira’s younger brother, Dan, an accountant and the board’s vice president. “The scholarship might let them drop a part-time job so they would have more time to study.” Schira’s family settled on the scholarship the day after the tragic fire claimed his life. “Donations were pouring in,” said Eric Schira. “We were overwhelmed by the community,” said Lisa Schira, Eric’s wife and the fund’s secretary. “There was no question where the money would go,” Dan Schira said. No one would have faulted the family for keeping the money. The 400plus donors contributed with no strings attached. Eric Schira knows that. He read the condolences accompanying the donations. “Still,” he said, “there was never any thought to take the money. We were not going to profit off the death of my brother. “The community was
