Story of decade
We are coming up to the end of the 2000 decade. We want to know what you think are the stories of the decade. Send you suggestions, and a brief reason why, to pricehillpress@community press.com, and we’ll publish them in the Jan. 6 issue.
Honor someone
Maybe they delivered a home-cooked meal when you were under the weather, or watched your children while you ran a quick errand, or helped you with yard work. They are Neighbors Who Care, and we think they deserve recognition. Again this year, the Price Hill Press will devote one of our holiday issues to honoring those in the community who have given a bit of themselves to make the lives of others better. No deed is too small (or too large). If you know a Neighbor Who Cares, tell us about them. You can nominate by sending an e-mail to memral@communitypress.com, or by regular mail to Marc Emral, Community Press, 5556 Cheviot Road, Cincinnati, 45247. Include your name, address and phone number, as well as their name and contact information.
Topping off
Got a clue where this is? We didn’t think so. Time to go hunting in the neighborhood to see if you can find it. Send your best guess to pricehillpress@community press.com or call 853-6287, along with your name. Deadline to call is noon Friday. If you’re correct, we’ll publish your name in next week’s newspaper along with the correct answer. See last week’s answer on B5.

Urban ecovillage offers soil classes The Enright Ridge Urban Ecovillage Farm Project organization offered two Saturday workshops in November, the first on its seasonal “re-skilling” classes. Charles Griffin, resident farmer for the Farm Project and responsible for managing the CSA gardens, gave a hands-on class about the science of soil. Griffin, who holds an degree in soil ecology from University of California at Davis, led participants through the geology of soil formation and then brought the group into the garden at the Enright greenhouse. Participants discovered the critical role of different earthworm species, (much in evidence in the lush gardens), attempted to roll “sausages” with soil samples containing different amounts of clay, and looked closely at the soil profile revealed on the side of a deep excavation. After lunch, Vince Stross, Imago board member and master composter, presented a program on compost.

Perk on the Pike owner Julie Neumann puts the finishing touches on what may be destined as a table decoration at the monthly community dinner her business and the Bayley Place Wellness Center are having.
They’re designed as meals with a mission. Perk on the Pike and the Community Wellness Center at Bayley Place are offering buffet dinners at Bayley Place, 401 Farrell Court. “We started with our Veterans Day buffet that allowed us to not only honor our military, but also was a way to contribute to the Delhi Veterans Association Memorial Wall,” said Julie Neumann, a Perk on the Pike owner. She and Kathy Baker, who organizes programs at the Wellness Center, said the idea of continuing the monthly meals was a joint one. For the Dec. 9 meal, folks were asked to bring canned goods to donate to the Anderson Ferry Food Pantry. While January’s meal mission hasn’t yet been confirmed, Baker said it’s likely it will raise money for the Delhi Township Police
“We are happy to not only be able to provide a great meal and community gathering, but also help others in need right in our neighborhood.”

Department’s new canine unit. Other beneficiaries of upcoming meals also have not been decided, but Baker said they will definitely be organizations or projects that benefit the township community. “We are happy to not only be able to provide a great meal and community gathering, but also help others in need right in our neighborhood,” Neumann said. The meals will be the second Wednesday of the month starting at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Perk on the Pike, 4800 Delhi Road. Call 921-7375 for ticket information.
