HAVING FUN B1

BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Mercy theater students to present ‘Guys and Dolls’ Girls will play some roles of ‘guys’

Sam’s Club celebrates by giving back Remodeling spurs donation

By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Every day after school 35 students gather at Music for Youth in Cincinnati on Warsaw Avenue in Price Hill.

They bring a thirst for knowledge as they commit two hours of their day to learning music and practicing

their violins, violas or cellos.

They also bring a hunger – for snacks.

“We need to give them food every single day,” said Laura Jekel, program director of Music for Youth in Cincinnati (MYCincinnati), a free music program offering students an opportunity to study an instrument and play in an orchestra.

Focusing for two hours, after they’ve already been in school all day, can be difficult

for young children, especially if their bellies are growling.

Jekel said MYCincinnati students receive a snack every day before the music lessons begin, and the cost of providing those snacks can add up.

Thanks to the Sam’s Club in Monfort Heights, Jekel said the program now has some more money to put toward buying snacks.

See CLUB, Page A2

Lisa Bodollo said she constantly raises the bar for her students because she’s confident they can reach it.

“I always tell the kids, ‘Don’t be afraid to be remarkable,’” she said.

The Mother of Mercy High School fine arts teacher is once again pushing students in the school’s theater department to be their best, and she said she thinks audiences will be impressed when the students present Mercy’s fall show.

Students will perform the award-winning musical “Guys and Dolls” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, and Saturday, Nov. 3, and at 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 4, at the College of Mount St. Joseph.

“I wanted to bring back a classic musical and give the students a chance to see how fun it is,” said Bodollo, who directs the school’s theater program.

Mercy senior Kate Gandenberger said she wasn’t familiar with the show, but her family was excited about it when she told them the fall show is “Guys and Dolls.” She said parents and

grandparents should enjoy attending the show with their children and grandchildren, and introducing the younger generation to classic theater.

Senior Brittney Welborne said she’s proud of how her school’s theater program is able to pull off such a big musical.

“We’re only teenagers, but we’re putting on this big show,” she said. “That’s what is so fantastic about Mercy theater.”

Senior Gabby Discepoli said she appreciates the confidence Bodollo has in the students.

Discepoli said the cast calls for a lot of guys, and although there are about a dozen boys from area high schools in the show, there aren’t enough boys to fill all the guy roles. She said many Mercy students, herself included, are playing male roles.

“She (Bodollo) trusted us enough to cast a lot of our female actors as males,” Discepoli said.

“It’s a lot of fun.”

Steve Maurer, an Elder High School junior who has one of the lead male roles, said it’s been interesting to act with girls playing male roles.

“All the gamblers are females,” he said. “They can play men so well.”

Two battling for state’s 8th Senate District position

By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

State Sen. William Seitz is seeking re-election to his final four-year term, but he’ll have to defeat a fellow Green Township resident in order to keep his seat in Columbus.

The Republican incumbent faces Democratic challenger Richard Luken this November.

Seitz was appointed to Ohio’s

8th Senate District in 2007, and was elected to the seat in 2008.

Prior to serving in the Senate, he spent seven years representing the 30th District in the Ohio House of Representatives.

This election year marks Luken’s second bid for office. He ran to represent the 30th House District in 2010 and lost to Robert Mecklenborg.

Luken A computer consultant and

website designer, Luken said he seeks to represent the 8th District because democracy means having a real choice.

“On Election Day you can only have a true democracy if everyone has a choice,” he said. “Having opposition is important.”

He said he decided to run this year particularly because the Republican party has shown itself to be more concerned with winning elections than governing.

He disagrees with the state legislature’s district realignments, and said the gerrymandering hurts the integrity of the democratic process.

“It has ensured a lot of our votes are not of equal weight,” he said. “That is not democratic if we believe in the principles of our government.”

Luken said he is also against

Corey Mills, manager of the Sam’s Club, said giving back to the community has always been at the

“We are proud to regularly support many worthy local causes with not only financial giving, but our time as well,” he said.

“It’s all about being a part of the community and giving back.”

“We always try to support local groups first,” she said.

“It’s good to give back to our community. We know we wouldn’t be here without our members.”

the privatization of state institutions, such as prisons.

“Our state entities do not exist to create profit for private groups that are in the business of making money,” he said.

When it comes to taxes, he said he favors fair and progressive taxes. He said he wouldn’t have voted to eliminate the Ohio estate tax.

“This money used to come in to local governments to provide services, but now these municipalities will have to find ways to make up for those lost revenues,” he said.

“The elimination of the estate tax shifted the burden from those who are able to pay to those who are less able to pay.”

Luken said he’s enjoyed campaigning and the opportunity to speak to people and try to explain to them the scene as he sees it.

If elected, he said he would be a thoughtful legislator, and pledges that representing the people and assisting them in their interactions with the government will be his first and only job.

“I’m a deliberative person,” he said. “I believe the legislature needs to take a long view, discern what will be best for our state in the long term.”

Seitz A partner at a regional law firm, Seitz said he wants to fulfill his final term by building on successes he’s already achieved.

He said he’s been at the forefront of civil and criminal justice reforms.

He introduced tort reforms that helped Ohio become more business-friendly, and he said on the criminal justice side he drafted legislation that reduced prison overcrowding, saved the

Mercy senior Kerri Davis said the cast is a large ensemble cast, but each individual actor has a specific character role in the show, which places an emphasis on the fact everyone needs to do their best and work together.

“It gives everyone a purpose,” she said. “I know my role is important because I am someone in the show.”

Bodollo said there are about 75 students in the show and more than 130

state $575 million and also helped Ohio have the second lowest number of repeat offenders.

“I have those two major accomplishments,” Seitz said. “I think I can continue to build on that during my final four years.”

He said one of his priorities is to protect local governments against further funding reductions.

“I believe we have shifted a lot of pain to the local government level,” he said. “My local government experience as a school board member and township trustee is important in Columbus.”

To help Ohio and the country reach energy independence, Seitz said he supports safely tapping into the oil and natural gas reserves in eastern Ohio, which would also create new jobs and revenue for the state.

He said he also supports researching the compressed natural gas vehicle market, and using revenues from natural gas to invest in a fueling station infrastructure for compressed natural gas vehicles.

Municipalities could convert their vehicle fleets to run on compressed natural gas, which he said is cleaner for the environment and half the cost of gasoline.

“I think that would be a real savings to the taxpayer,” he said. “I’d like to see us move in that direction.”

Seitz said he also wants to ensure the state is spending adequate money to repair and maintain its roads, bridges and highways.

“I’m a bricks and sticks Republican,” he said. “I don’t believe we are investing enough money in our infrastructure right now.”

He said the fundamental job of the legislature is to make laws, and he said his legal experience is an important asset for representing the 8th District. students involved in the technical aspects. She said students in the technical crew have been responsible for everything from lighting and sound to set decoration and costume design.

She said she’s pleased with the job every single student is doing.

“All the students are extremely dedicated to this project,” Bodollo said.

“We’re really psyched to bring it to the stage at the Mount.”

Two Green Township residents are vying to represent the 30th District in the Ohio House of Representatives.

Incumbent State Rep. Lou Terhar, a Republican who has been serving as the district’s representative since being appointed in September 2011, seeks to retain his seat against Democratic challenger Steve Newsome this November.

Terhar, 63, was appointed to replace Robert Mecklenborg, who resigned in August 2011 following an arrest for driving under the influence.

Newsome, 25, is a former political co-chairman of the Human Rights Campaign, but this is his first bid for public office.

Newsome A marketing manger for Belterra Casino Resort, Newsome said Senate Bill 5 and the cuts to the local government fund triggered his decision to run.

“This neighborhood has been my home my entire life,” he said. “I’m invested in the West Side so much so that I’m disappointed to see our representative voting against our neighborhoods time and again.”

Newsome said the biggest issue facing the state is jobs, which gives way to a larger problem of an anemic public school system statewide.

He wants to find a solution that funds schools by means other than property taxes, and ensure the state recruits and retains the

At the state level, he said the main issue affecting everyone in Ohio is jobs. Terhar said the government’s responsibility is to create an environment

in which the economy thrives and allows for people to find gainful employment.

“Anything we can do to make that happen is critical for Ohio,” he said.

“My father is a CPA and a small business owner, and if there is one thing I learned from him it’s that small businesses are in the best position to grow fast and create jobs,” he said.

Newsome said he also supports creating a small business capital fund to lend at low rates to those who don’t want to, or can’t, finance privately or through banks.

Investing in new sources of energy like wind and solar is also way to create both white collar and blue collar jobs, and he said it will help Ohio lead the way in energy independence.

He said another issue facing Ohio is the need to make responsible budget cuts.

“We can’t afford sweep-

ing cuts to education or our township budgets,” he said.

In his professional career, Newsome said he’s managed employees and budgets and led innovation.

Terhar A retired U.S. Navy commander, Terhar said he would like to continue serving the people of the 30th District.

“I believe my background, principles and values align well with the people in the district,” he said.

An example of how he’s worked for his constituents was his introduction of House Bill 408, he said.

The bill, which was passed by the House, adds two members to the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority board to ensure Hamilton County townships and communities –

They split up by fitness level, then take on one or more of the park’s 12 trails.

Most walks are about a mile long, with the Stone Steps providing the mostchallenging exercise for those who are interested.

Saturday and Sunday hikes begin at 8 a.m. From March to November, the group walks on Wednesday at 5 p.m. Beginning Nov. 7, the time shifts to 4:30 p.m. to take advantage of remaining daylight.

70s come with us, people with kids as long as they can keep up and people with pets,” Korb said. “The majority of the people are from the West Side.”

The only times the hiking club does not tackle Mount Airy’s trails is when it is over 90 degrees or under 15 degrees, she explained. Otherwise, hikers deal with the trails and the elements.

Fifth Third Bank and the Dornette Foundation,

as well as the Cincinnati Parks Foundation, sponsor the Cincinnati Parks Hiking Club, which is open to new members all the time, Korb said. “We suggest good hiking shoes and walking poles for an upperbody workout.”

The Cincinnati Parks Hiking Club has a Facebook page (Cincinnati Parks Hiking Club). Additional information can be found at www.hikecincyparks.com.

Maintaining a balanced state budget is another important issue, he said.

While it was difficult and painful for state lawmakers to cut items like the local government fund, Terhar said those cuts were necessary to eliminate an $8 billion deficit and balance Ohio’s budget.

As a member of the Finance And Appropriations

Committee, Terhar said he’s proud legislators have been able to hold spending in check and increase the state’s rainy day fund from 89 cents in January 2011 to nearly $500 million at the end of fiscal year 2012.

He said he supports keeping a tight belt on the budget, without hurting low income residents and important services.

with a seven-year break during which he served in the Ohio Senate.

Republican candidate Bill Blessing says he wants to focus on making Ohio and the 29th District better places to do business. “The incentives to start a small business are too few, while the liabilities of running a small business are too great,” he said.

Working in a small business, he says he sees first hand the difficulties those businesses face.

Blessing says one way to improve the business climate is by reducing taxes and creating a level playing field for all businesses.

He says education is a high priority for him, but he does not favor massive funding increases to eliminate the problems he sees with the education system.

“I propose that education be treated like a busi-

ness,” he said. “Poorly performing schools should be closed down in the same sense that poorly performing businesses go bankrupt.

With that in mind, I support school vouchers, tuition tax credits, and school choice.”

Blessing is unfazed by assertions that he lacks experience in government. “I think having the right ideas is more important than having experience,” he said.

“And neither of us have state government experience.”

Democrat Hubert Brown says experience does matter. He brings 17 years of experience as a township trustee to his bid for state office. He says after years of complaining about what has come down the road from Columbus it was not a big step to decide to try to do something about it by running for the legislature and trying to bring lo-

cal communities’ concerns to the state capital.

Brown says his opponent’s lack of experience should be a concern to voters.

“He is 31, never served in any function of public service and still lives with Mom and Dad,” he said.

“What does he know about property taxes, unemployment benefits, worker’s comp, retirement issues, management of public employees, budgets and the other important issues facing Ohioans?”

Brown says Blessing is running on the family name, treating the statehouse like a family business. “His name is Bill but his signs say Lou,” Brown said. “He’s running on his father’s name.”

Brown says he thinks residents of the district are concerned about education and public safety.

Loyal employees the eart of florist kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Combined, John O’Neill and Karen Trotta have nearly 70 years experience creating beautiful floral arrangements.

And they’ve been using their skills to design arrangements and bouquets at the same West Side flower shop for all those years.

“It’s a really good working environment,” said O’Neill, a Delhi Township resident who has been a designer at Lutz Flowers for 38 years.

“And we always smell good at the end of the day.”

Trotta, who lives in Cheviot, marked her 30th anniversary with the Crookshank Road shop this year.

She said she started working for Lutz when the family-owned florist used to be on White Street in South Fairmount.

“I walked by the shop every day when I was taking my kids to school,” she said. “I stopped in and bugged them until they gave me a job.”

The owners finally

caved to her persistence, and she’s repaid the business with three decades of loyalty.

Trotta said after she was hired O’Neill was tasked with teaching her the art of floral design.

“He showed me the ropes,” she said.

O’Neill jokingly added, “She was a good student, but she could misbehave.”

He said he studied horticulture at the University of Kentucky, and was drafted by the U.S. Army after college.

When he returned home from the Vietnam War, he said he sort of fell into the design aspect of the floral business.

“I enjoy the beauty of the flowers, and helping people,” he said. “We deal with a lot of emotions, from happiness to sorrow.”

He said one of the biggest rewards of the job is the appreciation custom- Karen Trotta, left, and John O’Neill put together floral arrangements at Lutz Flowers in Western Hills.

Seton High School have five seniors named National Merit Commended Scholars.

They are: » Molly Hartig, » Sarah Hilvert, » Holly Meyer, » Sydney Vollmer and » Erin Wanger.

They are among about 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation. Commended Students are among the top 5 percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2013 National Merit Scholarship Competition by completing the 2011 Preliminary SAT (PSAT)/National Merit Qualifying Test.

These students were named shortly after Seton seniors Lindsey Mullen and Katarina Gay were identified as National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists.

Seton seniors have topics for their project Seton High School seniors are busy thinking about how they will take charge of their learning experience.

The Capstone-like Senior Project begins its second year at Seton and students just finished presenting their topics to a panel of staff members. This is the first step in the five-part project. Now that the proposals have been approved, students will begin working on a research paper that demonstrates a learning stretch. For example, one member of the senior class wants to help her classmates get in shape and eat well, and her research paper will focus on what motivates people to get healthy.

While the paper is in progress, students begin the field work portion of their project.

Working closely with a mentor, students will complete at least 15 hours of field work. In May, the experience will conclude with each student giving a formal oral presentation to a panel of staff, faculty and community members.

Senior Project Coordinator Anna Downey is excited to begin the second year of this project.

The Senior Project is used in high schools across the United States to empower students to take charge of their learning and remain engaged in the curriculum throughout their senior year.

If you are interested in serving as a judge for presentation day in May, contact Downey at downeya@setoncincinnati.org.

“Those involved will have a unique opportunity to meet with city leaders, discuss the importance of voting, and take part in an election for council.”

“Youth in City Government is that place where students with the spark and potential of leadership get their start and carry on the torch of leadership that will build a better future for our community, our nation, and our world,” said Patrick Reagan, a recent graduate of Aldersgate Christian Academy. He served as mayor when he took part in the Youth in Government program.

“The Youth in City Government program has honestly changed my life,” added Steven, a student at the School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati. “Being a part of youth council has really allowed me to discover a different side of me.”

Seton soccer snags upset Gannett News Services Seton only managed to score once on the road Saturday, Oct. 20, against Mount Notre Dame, but the Saints’ defense stood firm to snag the upset win in a 1-0 Division I girls’ soccer sectional semifinal.

Seton, ranked 21st in the Southwest District, entered

the game with only three wins to its credit. Fifth-ranked Mount Notre Dame racked up 10 wins during the regular season and was only shut out once in 16 games. But those numbers meant little Saturday on the Cougars’ home turf.

In the 27th minute, Saints senior midfielder Erika LaRosa scored her fourth goal of the year on an assist from class-

mate Ashley Bretnitz. From their, the team’s defense took over. Senior defenders Emily Gramke and Jessie Woeste clogged the middle of the field to impede the Cougars’ attack.

Mount Notre Dame senior forward Rose Lavelle, who will continue her career at Wisconsin, led the Girls’ Greater Catholic League Scarlet Division with 15 goals this season,

but neither she nor her teammates could beat junior goalkeeper Allie Luebbering, who made seven saves to earn her second straight shutout.

Seton (4-9-5) was 0-4-1 in GGCL Scarlet play this year, while Mount Notre Dame (113-3) went 3-1-1 with a 3-0 road win against Seton. The Saints had not scored against the Cougars since a 3-2 win in 2010.

Staley serves up history at Mercy

Junior scores school’s most singles victories in run toward districts

By Tom Skeen tskeen@communitypress.com

WESTWOOD — It was a historic year for Mother of Mercy High School junior Elizabeth Staley.

Not only did the tennis star make a run to the district tournament, she set the Bobcat record for most singles victories in school history, as her career record sits at 44-18 with one year still ahead of her.

“The wins didn’t show it, but in general our team and girls worked really hard,” Staley said. “I pretty proud of our season and I broke the record I really wanted to accomplish.”

While she bowed out of districts in the first round with a loss to Julie Brockman of Springboro, her run to the districts was like nothing else she experienced in tennis.

“The feeling was just amazing,” Staley said. “I was very emotional when I got off the court and my coaches told me. It’s one of the accomplishments I’ve wanted to achieve since my freshman year.”

With tennis being an individual sport at most levels, the team aspect at the high-school level really provided a circle of support and encouragement for Staley and her team-

mates this season.

“It’s a very different experience for me,” Staley said. “Playing (U.S. Tennis Association) tournaments throughout my life and then being on a team are two different experiences, but I wouldn’t change this for anything. The team bond is something I never had in tennis. Our team is so strong and, honestly, I could not tell you how much it helps your mental and physical state when you are out there.”

There is no doubt the run this season will help Staley when it comes to her senior season.

“I mean it will help with experience, but I’m disappointed I didn’t go to state,” she said. “Now it’s just another goal for next season.”

While there is always room for improvement, surprisingly the one thing the Bobcat wants to work on is having more fun on the court.

“I’m very intense on the court and I want to be perfect,” Staley said. “That is something every athlete strives for. I think I don’t have as much fun as I should sometimes. ” The junior is taking a couple weeks off but will resume practice and playing in USTA tournaments over the winter .

Unemployment, economy are major issues

Candidates run for office for a myriad of reasons, but mine is two-fold: the imperative to improve the economy and employment picture and what is the best way to accomplish that goal. Much has been written about both points, but everyone agrees that unemployment is a major problem and steps to reduce it need to be taken yesterday.

As a member of Generation X or Y, depending on the definition used, I can say that we have been especially hard hit as unemployment numbers are higher for us than those over 35.

Moreover, student loan debt, for those of us that attended college, has outpaced inflation over the past 30 years making our situation all the more desperate

as we cannot pay off our loans without jobs.

At the same time, the elderly, many of whom are on fixed incomes, Bill Blessing COMMUNITY PRESS are seeing their purchasing GUEST COLUMNIST power reduced through inflation, while at the same time losing benefits because of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid shortfalls.

At any rate, we as a society are not winning if the unemployment rate remains above 8 percent, which is actually a low figure as those who have quit looking for work are not counted. It’s encouraging that our

Experience matters as state representative I would like to introduce myself. My name is Hubert Brown and I am a candidate for Ohio State Representative in the 29th District.

I grew up in Colerain Township at the corner of Benhill and Cheviot Road in White Oak. I attended Monfort Heights Elementary, White Oak Junior High and graduated from Colerain High School. I graduated from UC as a commuter student from Hubert Brown White Oak. COMMUNITY PRESS After college, I worked as an GUEST COLUMNIST electrician, retiring in 2006. I am now the branch manager of City Electric Supply in Harrison.

I live in Whitewater Township and have been elected township trustee five consecutive terms, now in my 17th year. In those years, I have balanced budgets without raising taxes or laying off employees. I have worked with other trustees, city councils and village and county officials. I worked hard to make our community safer and better and enjoyed every day as a public official. After complaining about what comes down from Columbus it is only natural for me to run for state representative to take our communities’ problems and concerns to the state capital. I welcome the campaign and look forward to serving you in Columbus.

This is an open seat, without an incumbent. Our current state representative has served four terms and is “termed out.” We will have a new representative in 2013.

My opponent is the son of our current state representative.

He is 31 years old, has never served in any function of public service, still lives with mom and dad and doesn’t own any property. What does he know about property taxes, unemployment insurance, worker’s comp, retirement issues, management of public employees, budgets and the other important issues facing Ohioans? The Statehouse should not be a family-run business. Serving the community is like respect; you have

His name is Bill, but his signs say Lou. He is running on his father’s name.

I have the endorsement of the FOP, the firefighters, teachers and Sierra Club with more on the way. Campaigning is fun, and I am meeting many people who care about their community and are quick to tell me what policies I should take to Columbus. I look forward to meeting with you, or you can call me at 513-3533111; I’m in the phone book and I will find time to call or meet with you.

I invite you to be part of the electing of our next state representative. You will see signs, T-shirts, and mailings.

Unlike my opponent, the son of the existing state representative, I can’t afford to do much more.

Please take the time to get to know me. I have a website – brownieforohiorep.com – and I am on Facebook. But I hope to meet you and say hello. You will find that my 17 years of public service means I know how to listen and respond to those I serve.

Democrat Hubert Brown is a candidate for the 29th District seat in the Ohio House of Representatives. The district includes Colerain, Crosby, Harrison, Whitewater and Miami townships, the city of Harrison, villages of Addyston, Cleves and North Bend, Sayler Park and two wards in Price Hill.

PRESS

A publication of

state government has managed to knock Ohio’s unemployment rate down to 7.2 percent as of this writing, but that number is still nothing to write home about.

Given these grim facts, what should be done? After watching each round of “quantitative easing” fail to do anything, save for run up our national debt, do we seriously believe that we can spend our way out of a recession? Remember that the government cannot spend money on one group of citizens without first taking it away from another group, either directly through taxes or indirectly through inflation. Does it feel like government intervention, bailouts and the like, has helped anything? I certainly don’t think

so. I believe that we need to unleash the private sector and allow businesses, particularly small ones, to do what they do best: create great products and provide wonderful services.

In order to do that, though, they will need to begin hiring again and that is precisely when we’ll see the start of a recovery.

However, the government needs to get out of the way by reducing taxes and spending as well as removing any regulations that have no clear benefit. After all, it is difficult for businesses to hire employees and remain profitable when they are being taxed and regulated to death.

I’m running for state representative because it pains me to see these problems affecting my friends, family, and community,

while the same tried and failed policies are implemented to solve them. I want to help create a government that is run like a small business: lean, efficient, and cost-effective; we are the ones funding the government with our taxes, shouldn’t we get the best bang for our buck?

Solving these problems will be difficult, to say the least, but we’re Americans and we’ll get it done.

Republican Louis “Bill” Blessing III is a candidate for the 29th District seat in the Ohio House of Representatives. The district includes Colerain, Crosby, Harrison, Whitewater and Miami townships, the city of Harrison, villages of Addyston, Cleves and North Bend, Sayler Park and two wards in Price Hill.

An open letter to my grandchildren on the elections Some of you may understand what I want to tell you.

Others are too young and will understand when you are older. I have never before talked with you about politics.

However, this year our country is facing the most important election in my life.

Over 2,000 yearrs ago, Jesus gave us a map for our lives. He gave us Christian principles that are written in the New Testament. Through our families and churches, we learn to follow these principles to live good lives and give glory to God. In the United States we have the Constitution and Bill of Rights to protect our freedom, but some people in government are trying to change our basic concepts of faith, family, and freedom.

The president and some lawmakers want the government to be in control of everything. They think they know what is best for us. God gave us free will and the ability to use our consciences to determine what is right and wrong.

He gave us natural law to follow to help us live healthy

lives. He gave us commandments to help us live in harmony with other people.

Some people in governJudy Bonhaus ment do not COMMUNITY PRESS respect God’s greatest creGUEST COLUMNIST ation – human life. God created us in His image and likeness. He gave us dignity as His sons and daughters. He alone decides when we live and when we die.

However, some men and women think it is their right to decide who lives and dies.

They want to kill some babies before they are born. This is called abortion. They want to kill some disabled or older people whom they consider not valuable to our society.

This is called euthanasia.

Now our churches are in danger because some leaders in our government want to take away our religious freedom. Religious freedom means we follow our consciences in the way we live

our lives. For example, if we believe that abortion is wrong, we do not pay for abortions through taxes. If pharmacists believe that abortion is wrong, they do not fill prescriptions that cause abortions.

The current government wants to take away our ability to continue some of our churches’ good works. In an order (Health and Human Services Mandate), the government decided that the only sort of religious activity it will protect is private worship. Worship is only part of our faith. As Christians we have always been called to serve others. When we love our neighbor as ourselves, we take care of all people who need help—not just those who belong to our churches.

My dear grandchildren, pray for our nation as we vote. Remember that freedom and human rights come from God, not the government. God bless you and God bless America!

Judy Bonhaus lives in Green Township.

County’s real economic reality County government is an administrative arm of the state and has prescribed duties. It is a limited form of government intended to provide specific services. We should work together to determine how best to do them instead of trying to imagine new initiatives which are not required and are not part of the purpose of county government.

Our current fiscal problems are the direct result of county administrations extending themselves well beyond required duties for at least the past 20 years. While voters approved a half-percent county-wide sales tax to build two sports stadiums, I don’t recall a massive, largely publicly funded new residential-restaurant complex between them as being part of the deal.

Yet The Banks took on a life of its own, egged on by Enquirer editorials and vari-

ous downtown promoters.

The general idea was that we are somehow incomplete without (a) lots of Dusty Rhodes people living COMMUNITY PRESS downtown and GUEST COLUMNIST (b) various specialty restaurants near their abodes.

It was never explained why the county had to assume responsibility for developing the city of Cincinnati’s riverfront. Nor was it ever made clear why encouraging people to live there was a government duty.

What that has meant to taxpayers – in part – is millions of dollars to a private law firm, outrageous loans and subsidies to restaurants and over half a million dollars to an “inclusion” consultant. A county that last year was able to find $2.75 million to “loan”

to a country-western bar is now planning on laying off 300 employees and drastically cutting state mandated services, our real job.

The county may not be able to incarcerate or prosecute criminals, schedule court cases, do proper accounting, or respond to financial information requests from local governments and school districts but we sure can guarantee that a favored few can get a subsidized condo on the riverfront and drown their sorrows at a taxpayer funded bar at The Banks.

A memorable moment during the past decade was the public meeting when one of our county commissioners grandly announced, “We are going to create our own economic reality here in Hamilton County.” They certainly have.

Dusty Rhodes is the Hamilton County Auditor.

Seton students, faculty were reading ‘Teen Ink’ Students at Seton High School were given the chance to express their creative side. The school’s annual All School Read wrap up included several days’ worth of activities featuring area artists.

Students and faculty

read “Teen Ink: Written in the Dirt” during the summer then created journals and artwork in response to the pieces found in the book. They kicked off the school year by sharing these creations in their English classes.

For two hours on Aug. 29, students met with artists and had the opportunity to talk with them about their work. Students also participated in a brief dance workshop with the Seton Highlighters, a scavenger hunt and they toured

large displays of student and staff artwork created this summer.

The week also featured a roundtable discussion and writing session, where students shared a piece of their work with a peer, then created found poems

responding to what they had heard and seen. Some of these poems were shared in the next day’s Poetry Jam held in the school’s media center.

Coordinated by the English Department chairwoman Susan Hollenbach,

art teachers Margie Metz and Erin Vanover and media specialist Monica Williams-Mitchell, the Art Fair is a first for Seton High School. The allschool read has been a tradition for the last seven years.

OCTOBER 24, 2012 • DELHI-PRICE HILL PRESS • B3

Spooky treats for your Halloween parties The grandkids this year are excited about Halloween. Luke is going to be Pac Man, Will is a special forces soldier, Jack is a stormtrooper and Eva is her favorite bird, a blue macaw. Little Emerson, 3 months, hasn’t “decided” what she’ll be but I’m sure Mom Courtney will dress her for the occasion.

I’ve been experimenting with different Rita kinds of Heikenfeld popcorn RITA’S KITCHEN balls and am sharing my favorites, along with other fun recipes for Halloween.

My favorite do-ahead crunchy vanilla marshmallow popcorn balls

Use a natural popcorn or one that just contains salt. Out of all my recipes, these are the favorite with both the kids and adults.

They taste like the kind of gourmet popcorn balls you buy at the mall. Crunchier than the recipe for Jell-O popcorn balls, which is on my blog, popcorn balls are good keepers for at least a week. If you like add some

chopped salted nuts, candies, etc., do so before pouring on the coating.

Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir until marshmallows melt: ⁄4 cup light corn syrup ⁄4 cup butter 2 teaspoons vanilla 22⁄3 cups confectioners’ sugar 1 cup mini marshmallows Orange food coloring (optional) 3

1

Set aside: 20 cups popped corn placed in sprayed bowl (I used three bags microwave salted popcorn)

Pour liquid over popcorn, quickly coating popcorn. Spray hands.

Form into balls. Store covered at room temperature.

Tips from Rita’s kitchen When making anything that has a sticky coating, spray everything: the spatula, the bowl, your hands.

Homemade microwave popcorn: Put 1⁄4 cup popcorn in a brown paper bag.

Fold top over a few times and secure. Place folded side up for 2 to 3 minutes or until there is 5 seconds between pops.

Remove unpopped kernels before making treats: Put popped corn into colander and un-

Rita’s easy popcorn balls have a vanilla marshmallow coating. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD. popped kernels will sink to the bottom. That way no one will break a tooth, or worse, by biting into something with a hard kernel.

Meat face cheese ball

For the adult party!

Favorite cheese ball recipe, enough to fill mask (check out my video on my blog for a good one) 1 skeleton-like Halloween face mask 1 pound very thinly sliced prosciutto or other deli meat, cut into small pieces 2 slices pimento-stuffed green olives

Line mask with plastic

wrap. Layer lunch meat all around. Press cheese ball mixture into mold and make sure you press firmly so that you fill the mold.

Refrigerate until firm.

Unmold and remove wrap.

Place olives in for eyes.

Serve with crudités or crackers.

Easy black cat cookies

The kids will have fun making these. Have them sticking out of a hollowed out pumpkin. l cup creamy peanut butter ⁄3 cup water 2 eggs l box chocolate cake mix Popsicle sticks

1

SugarCandy corn, red hots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together peanut butter, water and eggs. Add cake mix and blend. Form into l1⁄2-inch balls and place on cookie sheet. Push in a Popsicle stick. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped in sugar.

Pinch two “ears” at top of cookie. Press fork into dough to form whiskers on either side of nose. Bake l0-l2 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately add candy corn eyes and red-hot nose. Makes about 2-3 dozen.

Can you hlep?

Holmes High School hot rolls for Linda J., a Northern Kentucky reader. “My lunch in the 1960s when I went there was usually a hot roll and butter. I’ve never tasted another hot roll like theirs. It was big, round and just thick enough to slice in half and butter both sides.

It wasn’t like a biscuit, it had some texture to it.”

Iron Horse bread pudding and Otto’s tomato pie.

Nancy, from Finneytown, says the bread pudding “is the absolute best” and she would also like to make Cathy’s tomato pie from Otto’s. “Truly divine.”

Still looking for: Salsa like Remke-bigg’s Three-pound onion-rye bread like Wiedeman’s Bakery Chicken hash with gravy Three-layer Whoopie pie with graham cracker crust Rum ring like Grote Bakery Slow cooker recipes with not a lot of ingredients Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author.

Pub crawl raises money to fight Crohn’s disease at Keller’s. If you crawl to each pub you will receive a ticket for a raffle for about 20 baskets of goodies.

Tickets can also be bought during the pub, and there will be a split-the-pot raffle that evening.

The baskets includes a Montgomery Inn basket with ribs and sauce worth about $200, a basket with several gift certificates, a Bengals tailgate basket, and one that includes a photo shoot with the winner keeping all rights to the photos.

The rub crawl goes until the pubs close. Cost is $10. All of the bars are

within walking distance.

And there will be alive band at Keller’s.

Stenger, a nurse at Shriner’s Hospital in Cincinnati, said her co-worker Pam Kresser and her sister-in-law Missy Stenger spearheaded setting up the pub crawl. And her fellow nurses and workers at Shriner’s jumped in to help.

“I appreciate all of the help. The nurses donated to all of the raffles,” she said. “It was overwhelming.”

She said Keller’s offered to host the crawl.

Since it is so close to

Halloween, crawlers can come in costume, with the best costume winning a prize. All baskets will be at Keller’s, where the crawl ends.

Stenger’s son Anthony was diagnosed with severe Crohn’s disease two years ago. She wants to raise money to help research the disease. Right now, he’s “treading water, she said. Several of Stenger’s children have been carriers for Community Press.

“I have to have a purpose to running,” she said.

“It’s not about me but a way to raise money.

Crohn’s is on the rise, as is

Schiller Dental, Inc

all auto-immune diseases.”

In a letter, Stenger, said her goal is to raise $5,000

for Team Challenge and finish the race, which is held on the strip in Las Vegas.

Check the road’s status before buying home The nation’s housing slump left many home builders and developers in dire financial straits. As a result, many homeowners failed to get things they were promised in their subdivisions. That failure even extends to the streets in some areas.

Deb Heim moved into the Monte Vista subdivision in Green Township eight years ago. She has a landominium in which the homeowners association takes care of the grounds outside her house. “We pay a monthly fee that covers all the mowing, snow removal, lawn care, maintenance, that type of thing,” Heim said.

While gardening is covered by a homeowners association in a landominium, snow removal usually is not. That’s normally done

by the city or township.

But in this subdivision the roads were not able to be built according to Howard code, so Ain they could HEY HOWARD! not be dedicated and taken over by the township.

“When Ameritek built here, the road that came up the hill, it’s not wide enough and the pitch is wrong so it has to be a private drive,” Heim said.

In addition, during the downturn in the economy, the developer sold the project to another company before doing the final street paving. The new company has yet to put on the final coating. There are

nine vacant lots in the subdivision and the new developer is promising once they are all sold he’ll have the money to pave the streets.

Since this is a private street, the developer was not required to post a bond, so there’s no money the homeowners can go after in order to pave the roads themselves. Heim said that’s led to a decrease in the home values there.

“I know of a family that would like to move and they don’t even put it up for sale because they know until the roads are fixed it’s going to be tough,” Heim said.

At this point there are several patches on the streets, along with other areas in dire need of patching.

“The homeowners association has had to come through every year and make patchwork on the roads just so they can stay passable,” Heim said.

The cost of putting down the final coat of paving is pegged at around $50,000.

The homeowners association is now talking about a special assessment to see if they can raise the money among themselves to pay for the final paving.

Although this is certainly not the way it’s supposed to be in a subdivision, the developer tells me such private roads are not unusual these days. So you need to be careful. If you’re in the market for a home, check the roads to make sure you know whether or not they are public or private.

“Painting is a Picnic,” and at this party, there will be painting projects, enjoy a spread of refreshments, pick up and scan the retreat catalog, and even sign up for classes and reserve accommodations.

The unveiling of retreat projects is always a much-anticipated event, a little reminiscent of getting your hands on the Sears toy catalog as a child.

An annual event, the Greater Cincinnati Decorative Artists Painting Retreat will be April 19, 20 and 213 at Higher Ground Conference Center in West Harrison, Ind. The retreat provides a fun get-away for painters at all skill levels from beginner to advanced. Projects will include a varie-

ty of mediums including acrylic, oil, watercolor and colored pencil. The classes enable painters to practice and learn new skills and techniques in a relaxed and casual environment.

In addition to the classes, attendees enjoy meals freshly prepared by the Higher Ground staff; refreshments available all day; raffle basket prizes; art supply vendors and the opportunity for fun and fellowship with friends old and new.

Information about Greater Cincinnati Decorative Artists, the Retreat Preview Party and the retreat is available on the GCDA Facebook page http://tinyurl.com/8ztgn2l and on the GCDA web site at www.gcdapaintes.com.

Run helps CF sufferers like 1-year-old Maggie

Race is this Friday night

By Amanda Hopkins westnews@communitypress.com

Maggie Gaitley was only a few weeks old when friends and family raised over $3,000 last year for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation after learning that the newborn was diagnosed with the illness.

This year, 1-year-old Maggie is the 2012 honoree for the 26th annual Run Like Hell Race on Friday, Oct. 26, which raises money for cystic fibrosis re-

search.

According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, it is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States. A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to lifethreatening lung infections and blocks the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.

Maggie’s mom, Elizabeth Gaitley of Bridge-

town, said it was a “complete surprise” when her and her husband, Ben, learned of Maggie’s diagnosis.

“We had no family history of (cystic fibrosis) and no real personal experience with the diagnosis,” Gaitley said. “I will never forget the shock and devastation that we felt.”

Gaitley said Maggie is lucky because she was diagnosed with a mild form of cystic fibrosis that doesn’t affect the digestive system as much as other patients.

Gailtey said she was honored when Amy Fam-

this year for her team.

Despite her regimen of daily respiratory treatments, Gaitley said Maggie is a happy and healthy baby.

“She is silly and funny and fun just like any other kid her age. No one would ever guess that she has CF looking at her and she does not recognize that she is any different from anyone else,” Gaitley said.

“My husband and I love her dearly and cherish every moment we have with her. We will continue to work to raise money for (the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and re-

ularo with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation asked her if Maggie would be the 2012 honoree for the Run Like Hell race shortly after last year’s race.

“The first few weeks (after Maggie was born) were an emotional roller coaster,” Gaitley said.

“But our families have been nothing but supportive since her diagnosis.

The outreach for our team (Maggie Mae’s Monsters) has been wonderful. So far this year we have nearly 50 team members and counting.”

Gaitley said there have been more than $5,000 in donations so far

search) so that we can find a cure for this horrible disease.”

Runners and walkers can sign up for the Run Like Hell Race at www.cincyrunlikehell.com. It will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 26, at 3614 Woodburn Ave. Participants can sign up as individuals, on a team or join Maggie’s team, Maggie Mae’s Monsters.

Donations can be made to the team or the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation online up to a week after the race.

‘Seize Hope’ at charity gala The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati will pay tribute to Roger Heldman, in naming the longtime epilepsy advocate as its “Seize Hope” honoree at the first annual Seize Hope fundraising gala beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 15, at the Hyatt Regency Cincinnati.

Seize Hope Gala celebrates individuals living with epilepsy who did not allow the challenges of epilepsy stop them from achieving their goals.

Enjoy an evening with others who have “Seized Hope,” attained success through their accomplishments and have been instrumental in addressing the Epilepsy Foundation’s mission to lead the fight to stop seizures, find a cure and overcome the challenges created by seizures.

Individual tickets are $100.

The gala is an empowering way for community leaders from Cincinnati and surrounding areas to get involved and join the movement to raise awareness and celebrate individuals whose efforts have made a difference in the lives of others. The gala will feature a silent auction, raffle prizes, cocktail reception, dinner program and dancing.

Heldman was born and raised in Cincinnati, and has had an exceptional career with the uniform industry. He served on the board of directors of the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati in the 1980s while working with Fechheimer Uniforms.

After moving to Seattle and becoming a partner in Blumenthal Uniforms, Heldman joined the board of directors of the Epilepsy Foundation of Washington in 2001 prior to merging with the Epilepsy Foundation of Oregon, creating the Epilepsy Foundation Northwest.

Heldman was named chair of EFNW from 20062008.

In 2010, Heldman joined the National Board of Directors of the Epilepsy Foundation of America and most recently began serving as treasurer of the National Board in 2012.

Heldman’s devotion and tireless efforts have made it possible for our organization to keep its promise to serve the needs of more than 30,000 people with epilepsy in the Greater Cincinnati area.

In addition to naming Heldma, “Seize Hope 2012” honoree, the evening’s festivities will also include an inspiring message from Jessica Waters, receiving an Achievement Award, who will share her own story of triumph over epilepsy as she forges a successful life path, having been crowned Miss Ohio Junior Teen America 2012, founder of the non-profit Cupcakes for Camp and dedicated advocate for the Epilepsy Foundation.

Volunteer awards will also be presented to Mary Broxterman and Ron Childs for their relentless efforts to support our foundation.

Anyone at any age can develop epilepsy. Current research shows that one out of every 26 people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime. Epilepsy affects people of all ages, races

and ethnic backgrounds.

More than 2 percent of the today’s population is affected by epilepsy–this adds up to more than 3 million Americans living with epilepsy. It is equal in prevalence to Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease combined.

The gala, which is being held during Epilepsy Awareness month, aims not only to raise funds for epilepsy but to also educate the public about epilepsy. This event enables the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati to continue to provide vital, free services to the more than 30,000 people in the Greater Cincinnati area affected by epilepsy.

The types of programs that will benefit from this event include: counseling, support groups, community education, group homes, a camping program, an adult day program and much more.

To learn more, visit www.cincinnatiepilepsy .org or call 721-2905.

Diabetic meals available Wesley Community Services recently launched a unique service offering frozen home-delivered diabetic meals for diabetics of any age in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

The cost is $5 per meal and can be ordered on-line at the program’s website, www.Meals4You.org, or by contacting a representative at 513-244-5488. The program has been approved by the American Diabetes Association.

Diabetes is rampant across America. In the U.S. during 2010, about 1.9 mil-

lion people aged 20 years or older were newly diagnosed with diabetes. Here in Greater Cincinnati, The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that over 186,000 individuals have a primary diagnosis of diabetes.

“Diabetes is one of the top public health concerns in the Greater Cincinnati area,” said Maurice Huey, Executive Director of the American Diabetes Association of Greater Cincinnati. “We applaud Wesley Community Services for providing such an important service for the thou-

sands of people in our community living with diabetes.”

All the home-delivered diabetic meals are produced right in Cincinnati in Wesley’s Carl Lindner Meals-On-Wheels kitchen.

The meals are dietitian-approved and cooked, packaged and frozen to retain nutrients, freshness, and flavor. A variety of meals are available including salisbury steak, and grilled chicken breast. All the meals are ready to eat in just minutes. The meals can be heated in an oven or microwave and the meal

plates are recyclable.

“Wesley is thrilled that we can offer a nutritionally appropriate meal to all individuals with diabetes no matter how old they are.

We are taking our expertise from our Meals-OnWheels program and making them available to any person with diabetes” said Stephen Smookler, chief operations officer.

Delivery is available to the customer’s home or office. Right now, Wesley will deliver within the Interstate 275 loop as early as two days from date of order.

POLICE REPORTS

Funeral Home

No funeral director in the country would dispute the right of a family to specify“No visitation”- if that is the way the family desires it. But, if asked, we are sure every funeral director would suggest visitation in most cases.

It has been proved through the years that visitation at the funeral home HELPS the family face the reality of death. It has been proved a family’s grief is lessened by the visit of friends who show concern for the family at a time of death. It is only human to want to express feelings. And this applies to most people. It has been proved that shock and surprise, emotional release, loneliness, distress and anxiety are emotional moods that can be HELPED by the appearance of friends. Words are not necessary. Personal appearance is sufficient. Visitation is an act of kindness...These are only a few of the reasons why funeral directors welcome visitation prior to and during a funeral Marilyn E. Holt, Jessica E. Totton-Miller, service...

Seton golf outing a success Close to 150 people took to the golf course to support Seton High School.

The third annual Seton Booster Club Golf Outing was a success thanks to all the participants, the booster club, title sponsor SC Ministry Foundation and corporate sponsors Key Bank, LaRosa’s and Marzetti’s. After a morning of golf, lunch was provided

by City Barbeque and awards from BSN Sports were handed out to the winners.

“The Booster Club did a tremendous job organizing this event,” said Athletic Director Janie Shaffer.

“The golf outing would not have been possible without the Boosters volunteering countless hours and organizing a great event.”

Plans are already underway for the fourth annual Golf Outing on July 22 at Aston Oaks. Sponsorships are now available; contact Shaffer at shafferj@setoncincinnati.org for more information.

Seton Cross Country team helps out at the third annual golf outing: back row from left, Gabby Hirlinger, Mia Bianco, Lindsey Taylor, Alexis Pessler, Brooke Zentmeyer, Jessica Rieskamp, Maria Torok and Jessica Beeler; from row, Molly Henderson and Maria Visconti.

Mount professor discusses political comedy album Fifty years ago this month, just as the nation grappled with the Cuban missile crisis and serious talk of nuclear war was mounting, a recording studio reverberated with laughter as actors and technicians gathered to record “The First Family,” a comedy album parody of the Kennedy White House that became a bestselling record album of its kind.

The comedian-in-chief was Vaughn Meader, a 26-yearold comic whose precise mimicry of Kennedy’s thick Boston accent was about to propel him to a celebrity that both rivaled and cemented that of the president.

College of Mount St. Joseph history professor Peter Robinson recalls this seriously funny moment in American political culture at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29, at the Mariemont Brnach Library, 3810 Pocahontas Ave. He will discuss some of the most hilarious moments from the album and consider how this landmark moment revolutionized the way that Americans laugh with and at the most powerful office in the free world.

Robinson Is an associate professor of history at the Mount. While his scholarly curiosity extends to virtually all aspects of the human past, certain subjects

are particularly fascinating to him, among them 20th century United States history, cultural histories, and the history of American humor. He has been fortunate to be able to pursue these passions in the courses he teaches.

He combined his experience with his more recent research – and his interest in humor – to produce his first book, “The Dance of the Comedians: The People, the President, and the Performance of Political Standup Comedy in America,” which was published

by University of Massachusetts Press in 2010 and was recently released in paperback.

Aaron Bill built and installed benches at St. Dominic School for his Eagle Scout project.

From left, Aaron, Nicholas and Steve Bill secure the wood frame to the concrete supports.

THANKS TO RENEE BILL.

Eagle Scout continues to give back to St. Dominic Eagle Scout Aaron Bill is still invested in St. Dominic School.

The18-year-old built and installed seven benches, three at the playground and four at and near the memorial garden of the school, for his Eagle Scout project earlier this year. He recently re-mulched the school’s playground as a way to stay involved, he said.

“It’s nice because every time I’m up there, somebody’s using those benches,” he said.

A member of St. Dominic Troop 483, Bill approached the school in June of last year to see if there was something he could do.

School secretary Diane Meyer suggested that he put up benches at the school.

“I’d never done benches,” he said. “I’ve put up decks with my family but this was the first time I’d

done a bench. I had to count on a bunch of people for tools.”

He was able to count on Bill people for more than just tools. Bill’s uncle owns a metal fabrication shop and donated frames for the benches.

“It really helped save on cost,” Bill said.

In addition to the donation, he raised nearly $3,000 for the project. Bill started work at the school in January and February and completed the installation in March.

“I worked when it was snowing and the ground was frozen,” he said. “I was pouring concrete in the garage just to get the project done. It was really hard to get volunteers in the win-

ter.”

Despite the cold conditions, Bill said he was happy to do it.

“If I had to do it again, I would probably have done more in the summer,” he said.

And Meyer said Bill’s work was a great addition to the school.

“The project fulfilled a need that was here and it really added to the environment. Teachers take their classes out to the patio and students can take a break on the benches at the playground,” she said. “I always know that I can count on the Scouts.”

St. Dominic Business and Development Director Skip Roos said he can’t thank the Scout enough.

“We’re very fortunate that Aaron and other Scouts chose St. Dominic for their Eagle Scout projects,” he said.
