Madeira resident Courtney Tudor is inviting the community to join together in a cowbell performance to set a new world record. Tudor (third from right), family and friends perform with cowbells at a parade in Madeira. They are, from left and around Tudor: Austin Tudor of Centerville, Ryan Self of Madeira, Will Hastings of Over-the-Rhine, Michael Graham of Madeira, Chris Tudor of Madeira, Rob Hern of Madeira and Robbie Tudor of Madeira. Because we’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell,” Tudor said. Tudor is referring to the classic “Saturday Night Live” skit in which actor Christopher Walken plays a producer with a big appetite for cowbell who tries to help a rock band played by cast members – including Will Ferrell on cowbell – record Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” “I could have used a little more cowbell,” Walken says at one point. “I gotta have more cowbell,” he says later, then, “I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.”

“Why is it a good thing for Madeira? What’s not to like? Up to 3,000 of your closest friends and neighbors being able to claim they are part of a world record.”

Tudor, 44, is founder and chief executive officer of Mr. Bigshot Inc. (www.mrbigshot.com), a stock market game that can be played on a board, with a compact disc or online. He said his family has a tradition of humorous entries in Madeira’s parade. In 2005, Tudor and his friends played cowbells.

WW II veterans take trip of lifetime By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com

SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP – Lillian Durham described the trip to Washington, D.C., as a “special gift.” Durham, who served in the United States Coast Guard, and seven other World War II veterans from Seasons Retirement Community in Sycamore Township were part of Honor Flight Tri-State, a group whose mission is to fly as many veterans of World War II to the memorial in Washington, D.C. According to the Honor Flight TriState website, there are 3 million living World War II veterans. Frank Holt, who served in the United States Navy from 19391945, was in Pearl Harbor on the USS Helena when the ship was bombed on Dec. 7, 1941. He was also on the ship when it was sunk in the Battle of Kula Gulf in 1943.

Recently, Tudor said, “When reminiscing about the cowbell band, we discussed a repeat performance except going bigger and better. “This of course snowballed into the idea of involving the entire town of Madeira in breaking the

Holt said he feels very lucky to have survived both and was “really honored” to be a part of Honor Flight. “I had tears in my eyes and I am not a sentimental person,” Holt said. Around 170 World War II veterans and 79 guardians attended the Honor Flight in May. All of the veterans' flights, food, T-shirt and bus are free. Navy Nurse Irene Morgan said she felt like a celebrity on the trip. Many staff members from the Seasons Retirement Community greeted the group at 5 a.m. before they left for the all-day trip. Morgan said they had police escorts

COLUMBIA TWP. – Columbia Township residents in the Deer Park-Silverton Fire District may be asked to pay more for their fire protection services in the coming years. During the June 14 Columbia Township trustees meeting, Township Administrator Michael Lemon said the current 3.2-mill levy generates $20,000 of the $47,000 required in the Fire District contract. Lemon said the township has paid the remainder out of the general fund for several years. However, with state budget cuts on the horizon, Lemon said the township needs to place a levy on the November ballot. He said the levy would likely be about 3.5 mills in order to produce the needed $27,000. Trustee Susan Hughes said as the state cuts its budget by eliminating local government funding

Cowbells From A1

Guinness World Record (of 650 participants).” Chick-fil-A, which has an advertising campaign featuring a cow that urges people to “Eat Mor Chikin,” is providing about 1,000 cowbells for the event. Madeira residents with cowbells are asked to bring those, too. Madeira Mayor Ken Born and Madeira City Manager Tom Moeller will certify the number of cowbell band participants for Guinness.

“Why is it a good thing for Madeira? What’s not to like?” Moeller said. “Up to 3,000 of your closest friends and neighbors being able to claim they are part of a world record. “Madeira is the No. 1 community in the Greater Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky area for the second year in a row (according to Cincy – The Magazine for Business Professionals),” Moeller said. “Now we can further put ourselves on the map by being home to a Guinness World Record. (It’s) great publicity and a great way to

promote Madeira as a fun place to live. “Sometimes we all need a little more cowbell.” Visit www.cowbell fever.com and register to participate in the cowbell band in the parade, which begins at 7 p.m., and in what organizers hope will be the record-setting performance, at 9 p.m. at Sellman Park. Cowbells will be distributed beginning at 8 p.m. at the park, which is behind the Madeira Middle School on Miami Avenue. The group also is seeking donations for special Tshirts for the band.

Madeira bike race to benefit Arthritis Foundation By Jeanne Houck

jhouck@communitypress.com

MADEIRA – Organizers of the second annual Madeira Centennial Criterium want the event to be more than a fun, professional-class bicycle race raising the city’s profile. They also want to raise money for an organization that helps people who may find it difficult to participate: the Ohio River Valley chapter of the Arthritis Foundation. “Families from across the Cincinnati area and beyond will enjoy a great evening of food and fun highlighted by the thrill of professional bike racing, all while benefiting the Arthritis Foundation at the race on Friday, June 24,” said Steve Shaw, president of the Madeira Chamber of Commerce, one of the race organizers. “This dynamic family event combines the tightly packed action of professional cycling through downtown Madeira with all the fun of a summer street festival.” Some 5,000 people attended the Criterium last year. Organizers expect as many as 8,000 this year. “This year, we have eight fantastic food vendors, a large number of exhibitors and a novice race (category 5) which will start at 4:30

p.m. to kick off the festivities,” Shaw said. “We have heavily promoted this year’s event through Facebook and our website and registration is up over 200 percent from where it was this time last year. “One of the top racing teams in the country will be participating and we expect a very competitive set of races,” Shaw said. “We are also excited about offering live music at the end of the night to let the party continue until 11 p.m.” Professional cyclists will compete for a $5,500 cash purse at the mile-long race, which will begin near PNC Bank at 7136 Miami Ave. and wind through Madeira’s central business district.

He said the township is still exploring alternatives, but doesn’t want service and response time to be negatively effected. Township residents in the Deer Park-Silverton Fire District currently pay a 3.2mill levy, while those in the Golf Manor Fire Department service area pay a 6.7-mill levy and those covered by the Little Miami Joint Fire and Rescue District pay a 9.7-mill levy as well as a 2.3-mill capital improvement levy. Columbia Township is expected to seek a certification from the Hamilton County Auditor, approve it at the July 12 meeting and likely hold a special meeting to vote on a resolution to proceed before the August meeting.

New principal puts student learning first By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com

FORREST SELLERS/STAFF

James Nichols will be the new principal at Indian Hill Primary School. He is shown in the media center at the Mason Early Childhood Center, where he was an assistant principal last school year.

James Nichols can attribute his passion for education to his parents and a teacher at Wyoming. This passion led to more than a decade as an educational administrator and a recent position as the new principal at Indian Hill Primary School. “I loved teaching, but also had an affinity for instructing younger children,” said Nichols, 36. Nichols was inspired by his parents, who were both educators, and a Wyoming instructor. “She poured herself into the job and was tireless in helping kids,” he said. This same enthusiasm is

shared by Nichols, who has been an assistant principal at the Mason Early Childhood Center for five years. “What I like about teaching younger children is you can see the large amount of growth in a short period of time,” he said. Nichols has also been an assistant principal at Western Row Elementary and the Fairfield Kindergarten Center. He also taught third grade at Loveland Elementary School, where he also served as a building coordinator. He described his leadership style as collaborative. “I believe one of the most important things is to build positive relationships,” he said. Although aware of the financial difficulties schools

face in the current economy, he said the educational experience should not be overshadowed. “It’s important we think of the financial landscape of schools, but we need to focus our energies on stu-

dent learning,” he said. Nichols will start as principal next school year. He will replace Sandra Harte, who is retiring after having served with the Indian Hill Exempted Village School District since 1990.

Officials want citizens group to remain at table By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com

MADEIRA – Madeira Vice Mayor Rick Brasington says a citizens group that wants to clarify the city’s referendum and initiative processes may well be about to make things more complicated. Madeira Citizens for Good Government and Madeira’s Law and Safety Committee have been trying several months to come up with mutually agreeable proposed changes to the processes in the city charter to put to a vote of residents Nov. 8. Doug Oppenheimer, a member of Madeira Citizens for Good Government, recently said his group and the city are at an impasse and that Madeira Citizens for Good Government will the week of June 6 begin preparing to collect signatures on petitions to put his group’s proposed changes on the ballot this fall. “The decision to put their own amendment on the November ballot opens up the possibility of having two competing amendments on that ballot, thereby complicating the issue for voters,” said Brasington, who is chairman of the Law and Safety Committee. “The Law and Safety Committee of (Madeira) City Council believes it is in the community’s best interest for the city and the citizens group to collaborate on one solution.” Madeira Citizens for Good

City solicitor

Doug Oppenheimer said Madeira Citizens for Good Government plans to propose another change to the city charter: making the position of city solicitor an elective position to be voted on every four years and for which only Madeira residents are eligible. Currently, city council appoints the solicitor, who can live anywhere in Hamilton County. Robert Malloy has served as law director in Madeira since 1989 and lived in Madeira since 1982. “Under the present charter language, the law director is the legal counsel for the city council,” Brasington said. “He is appointed by city council, provides advice on matters of law and is directed by their collective decisions. “By making it a political/elected position, it could easily create conflict between the council and the law director's position such that city council would have to hire outside council on occasions to represent their position if the elected law director would decline to do so,” Brasington said. “City council believes it is also very valuable to have a law director who has years of experience with the city.” Government was formed after referendum petitions circulated by some residents who wanted to challenge a property tax break approved by city council last fall were tossed because the residents failed to comply with some legal technicalities. The flawed referendum petition drive followed city council’s decision last September to offer a 15-year, 50-percent tax abatement to property owners who make significant improvements in the future in a defined area near the central business district. The decision allowed the Riverstone Development Group of Madeira to seek a tax abatement to build the Bradford Place town homes off Euclid Avenue. Madeira Citizens for Good Government has said it wants to clarify how citizens

can mount a referendum campaign - to challenge decisions by city council - or an initiative campaign - to propose laws - without the necessity of hiring an attorney to navigate the complexities of the processes. Brasington said the Law and Safety Committee last met with Madeira Citizens for Good Government May 23. “At that meeting, the committee reiterated the city’s commitment to bring clarity to the referendum process,” Brasington said. “It was agreed to work together and meet again in two weeks. It came as a surprise that the group has chosen to ‘go it alone.’” Brasington said his committee suggested at the May 23 meeting that the city develop a “procedural checklist" that would be

maintained by the city administration and provided to anyone interested in mounting a referendum or initiative campaign. “This was suggested by the committee as a way of keeping the changes to the charter as simple as possible,” Brasington said. “This was also being suggested in direct response to the criticisms leveled at the city’s law director, Robert Malloy, and city manager, Tom Moeller, that they were not being ‘helpful’ in the process when the referendum on the Bradford Place tax abatement was being considered. “It appeared the citizen group did not want to consider the procedural checklist that was developed by the law director a month ago,” Brasington said. Oppenheimer had this response: “As individuals, as members of the Madeira community and as members of Madeira Citizens for Good Government, it is still amazing that after 200 years we are still able to challenge and defy our government at times when we think that we know better or when our government gives us reason to pause and determine for ourselves what is right. “Our Madeira city charter gives us the right to question our elected government,” Oppenheimer said. “We will do our utmost best to present our beliefs to our fellow citizens in Madeira with integrity and honesty.”

Indian Hill Project Manager George Kipp said consideration of the project is still “very preliminary” and if the village eventually decides to do the project it could be added to its longterm capital improvement program.

“We don’t have anything in the budget at this time,” Kipp said. Kipp said if the potential trail connection moves beyond the discussion stage the village will look at connecting with existing trails and possibly creating new ones. He said its difficult to discuss specifics at this point because the project is not a certainty. “It’s premature to speculate anything because of the economy,” Kipp said. Indian Hill has trails alongside roads and about one-fourth of the village’s 19.5 square miles are permanently protected by the Green Areas Trust and Greenacres Foundation.

junior Conner Wiebell said watching a live spinal surgery was “an eye-opening experience.” Wiebell and several other juniors and seniors in Doug Miller’s anatomy and physiology class were part of a group of students from 20 high schools that watched a live feed of a spinal surgery performed by Dr. John M. Roberts at Christ Hospital. Wiebell said it was interesting learning the different tools involved in the surgery and learning the names of ligaments and arteries. Senior Maggie Wilson said she has seen a live hip and knee replacement before and getting to watch the surgeries is one of the reasons she is choosing to go into a pre-medical track at Xavier University next fall. Wilson said she is hop-

ing to earn an internship for a shadowing experience at Children’s Hospital this summer. Junior Kaitlin Fahey said watching the spinal surgery is good practice for her upcoming experience in the Excel program at the University of Cincinnati. “You get to see stuff you will encounter (during the program),” Fahey said. Fahey is one of 20 students in the five-week program at the University of Cincinnati’s Medical College. She said each week she will be doing biomedical research and giving a presentation on what she has learned. Teacher Doug Miller said the live surgeries give students a chance to see everything that happens in the operating room and how many different opportunities are available in science and medicine.

Strategic thinking helps Moeller’s Ward By Scott Springer

sspringer@communitypress.com

Joey Ward always has a plan. When you’re about to wrestle in front of 15,000 fans for the state title at Value City Arena, it’s a good idea to have one. As the state champion in Division I at 125 pounds as a junior, he’s all but assured of a scholarship. Yet, he still preps for the ACT to enhance his chances at Ivy League schools like Cornell and Penn that have expressed interest. “I got a 24 the first time without studying,” Ward said. “I want to get it up to a 30.” In the meantime, Ward mentions others that have taken note of his talents. Among those are Michigan State, Stanford, Purdue and North Carolina. “North Carolina’s definitely up there because of their dental school,” Ward said. “Their campus is just amazing. That’s No. 1 on the list right now.” Ward was named the Suburban Life Sportsman of the Year. More than

Moeller’s Joey Ward wins the Division I 125-pound state wrestling championship at Value City Arena on the campus of Ohio State for the Crusaders. Ward’s record for Moeller was 32-9 with 18 pins. He was first-team GCL-South. 265,000 voters were cast at Cincinnati.com for local athletes. Winners received field box tickets to a Cincinnati Reds game, courtesy of the team. Nominees were based on excellence in athletics, academics and character. Ward wants to be an

orthodontist. He just got braces for the second time. As a wrestler, he’s already broken his brackets and is getting used to wearing a mouthpiece. “If I’m going to be an orthodontist, I might as well have straight teeth by the time I get to college,” Ward said. The same strategic thinking that benefits the honors student at Moeller in the ring was used in his career choice. “One of my teachers (at Moeller) just asked the class on the last day, ‘How many kids have had braces?’” Ward said. “Every one of my class except for two people had.” Ward might be your last choice if you were to line 10

kids up from Moeller to guess who was the state champion. “He doesn’t fit the typical stereotype of how a wrestler looks,” Moeller coach Jeff Gaier said. “He’s a little more lanky than the tradi-

tional, stocky wrestler build. When you watch him wrestle, you know he’s the real deal.” Teammate Brian MacVeigh, a third-place finisher at 119 pounds for the Crusaders, agrees. When Ward transferred from Goshen, MacVeigh knew of him but learned much more from the practice mat. “I got where I got thanks to Joey,” MacVeigh said. “He taught me a defense that was unbelievable. I hope I helped him out in some way. We got there because of his work ethic in the room.” MacVeigh is headed to Ohio University and will use his wrestling skills as he joins the Army. He was matside for Ward’s overtime state thriller and fully expects him to assume the

He has this uncanny ability to keep his head up.” Because of that innate talent, Gaier and many in the wrestling community feel Ward is in great shape to repeat. He’ll either wrestle in the new weight classes of 126 or 132, depending on what direction he gets from collegiate suitors. “Others are intimidated by that (pressure) and others strive in that situation,” Gaier said. “Joey’s definitely one that thrives. The bigger the match, the better the performance for him.” Ward’s next step is a freestyle, Greco-Roman tournament in Fargo where more college coaches will learn of the mild-mannered, personable grappler. “All of the college coaches are there,” Ward said. “You can pretty much go there and get signed. If you win, you’ll be signing with a college that day.”

Deer Park’s Bruewer pesters opponents By Scott Springer

sspringer@communitypress.com

The best thing that Deer Park softball coach Bill Newton can say about four-year catcher Autumn Bruewer is that she’s a pest. “She’s really sweet and really friendly,” Newton said. “She loves talking to people, but she loves to be a pest. She can run those bases and drive you crazy.” The numbers don’t lie. She was on base 65 percent of the time, led the Cincinnati Hills League with a .559 average, had 33 hits (all singles) and 40 steals. Newton estimates the stolen bases are more than anyone playing in a competitive league in the state. “She’s so fast,” Newton said. “She touches the ball, and if it’s not directly at a player with some steam on it, you can’t throw her out. People did all sorts of crazy defenses on her and she got on. And, it might as well be a double, because she steals.” Bruewer was named the

SCOTT SPRINGER/STAFF

Deer Park’s Autumn Bruewer was converted by coach Bill Newton to be a lefthanded slap hitter. As the lead-off hitter and catcher for the Lady Wildcats, Bruewer responded with a league leading .559 average as Deer Park finished 184. The Lady Wildcats won the CHL with a mark of 11-3. Suburban Life Sportswoman of the Year. More than 265,000 voters were cast at Cincinnati.com for local athletes. Winners received field box tickets to a Cincinnati Reds game, courtesy of the team. Nominees were based on excellence in athletics, academics and character. Bruewer takes great pride in her speed and the future theater major at Ohio University relishes the notoriety. “On the first pitch I’m going to second,” Bruewer

said. “No surprise. They know it’s coming.” So do her parents. “We get a little spoiled,” Lisa Bruewer said. “We always expect her to be on, so when she doesn’t get on we’re disappointed.” Autumn likes to be on base because she enjoys the conversation with the opponents in the rare moment that she’s idle. It’s merely part of the natural effervescence she’s had since she was a little girl. “Her dad and I were tak-

ing her for a walk one time,” Lisa Bruewer recalled. “There was an older woman walking, and she just ran up to her and gave her a big hug and said ‘Hi’ to her.” It is that part of her personality that has served her well in skits with “Parkers,” a local theater group. That assertiveness also won her the catcher’s job as a freshman. After the 2007 season, Deer Park had graduated allcity catcher Sam Delvecchio and Newton was looking for

The perky Deer Park aspiring actress became the bubbly blonde blocking home plate. “When I first started my freshman year, no one thought I was going to be good back there,” Bruewer said. “When a ball’s coming from the outfield, they thought you needed a big girl to block the plate. I can block the plate just as good as anyone else that catches.” What else would you expect from a girl who wrestled in junior high with the boys? “Autumn actually wrestled in seventh grade,” Lisa Bruewer said. “She was the only girl and the first girl to ever wrestle (at Deer Park).

When she got to high school, she stopped.” Autumn’s brother, Joe Bruewer, was a 145-pound wrestler at Deer Park and now is a redshirt grappler at Ohio State. Keeping the honor in the family, he was the 2010 Sportsman of the Year for Suburban Life. Instead of rolling on the mat in high school, Autumn turned to rolling ground balls in to hits and making those watching her roll with laughter, on and off the field. “I like to make people laugh,” she said. “I can do that.” Her proud mother agrees. “She enjoys having a good time, being upbeat and being on stage,” Lisa Bruewer said. Autumn currently is recovering from a broken elbow suffered in a May 6 game against Wyoming. Naturally, she played on and only recently had surgery to repair it.

Creating Ohio jobs with streamlined state budget We are all aware of the current state of economic affairs in Ohio. With rampant unemployment, rising costs of living and a crippled housing market, how could anybody not be? I have seen the economy hit everyone hard, and the 35th House District is certainly no exception. Families have been forced to sacrifice more than ever in the wake of the unemployment spike in the last few years. More and more parents have been struggling to put food on the table every day, putting expenses such as college tuition and retirement out of reach. My fellow legislators and I are very aware of the devastating effects of the economic downturn across Ohio. We know that revitalizing the economy should be our top priority as we work in Columbus. I have stuck to this principle in every piece of legislation that has passed through my

The House budget proposal contains a variety of important measures that will foster economic development in our state.

ous General Assembly. This is the perfect recipe for rapid economic growth. We also implemented a number of measures designed specifically to boost our job market at the local level. Combating population loss is an important way to accomplish this. Ohio has seen an unprecedented loss of population since the last census was taken, causing us to lose our clout in the federal government. Because of this, we have added provisions that make Ohio much more attractive for business development – keeping people and, therefore, economic resources in our local communities. We wanted to ensure that more Ohio high school graduates would have access to a higher education. For instance, if a high school graduate from Lebanon decides to go to Indiana following graduation, our budget will allow that person to receive in-state tuition

CH@TROOM June 15 questions

Should teachers be allowed to defend themselves against aggressive students? Why or why not? “Of course, teachers should be able to defend themselves against aggressive students. If that teacher were a pedestrian on the sidewalk and was being threatened by an aggressive person, he/she would certainly be able to defend him/herself – even if that aggressive person was of student age. Why take that ability away from a person just because he/she happens to be a teacher and the situation happens to occur within the four walls of an educational facility? Schools are so fearful of reprisal and litigation that they have taken away tools from their teachers and administrators which, unfortunately, include those a ‘regular’ person would be allowed to use to defend him/herself in a serious situation. A sad commentary both on society and on our educational system.” J.D. “Absolutely! I hardly think a reason is necessary; everyone has a right to protect and defend himself, especially from assault. Why should teachers be excluded? “I can just imagine that question being asked when I went to school (1942-1954). It would have elicited a big laugh.” B.B. “Yes I think teachers should be able to defend themselves against aggressive students. Not only are the teachers in danger, but also the other students. “There would have to be guidelines, but no one should have to go to work worried about their safety.” D.D. “If a student is physically attacking a teacher then of course the teacher should have the right to defend themselves. Getting a teachers license doesn’t mean they give up the right to selfpreservation.” J.K. “With a capital yes. Back when I was a student you didn’t dare to mess with the teachers. If you berated a female teacher the male

to an Ohio college or university if he or she returns within ten years of having graduated high school. This measure will bring back the innovative young minds that have left to pursue better business opportunities elsewhere. We need these people to help create a future for Ohio that is sustainable and successful, and offering opportunities for higher education is the perfect incentive to attract them. We have also included measures to retain our state’s retirees, business owners and farmers. These people often leave in order to protect their assets from the state’s estate tax, commonly called the “death tax.” This unfair tax allows the state to tax the assets of a person upon his or her death, and that is why we are aiming to eliminate it at the start of 2013. I, for one, would like my children to receive my assets when

I’m gone, without being taxed on them again. By eliminating this tax, more Ohioans can feel secure and remain in the state, further stimulating the growth of our local economies and job markets. Having worked many long hours to ensure that the budget we passed for the biennium would provide for the future of Ohio, we have been able to pass a very good budget proposal. I believe strongly that many of its provisions are exactly what the state needs to get our economy back on its feet. As the budget process continues to unfold, I am confident that we will end up with a biennial budget that will be very beneficial for the people of the 35th House District. State Rep.

If you messed with the male teachers, you could bet your last dollar you were in for a good ___ kicking, especially if you were in sports. “Today’s kids are mouthy and irresponsible, and think they are protected by laws that prohibit adults from corrected actions. There is no respect given to others. Maybe the parents should be the ones to be given the corrective action. “If you ever go to these little league games, most times the parents are worse than the kids, so you know were it comes from and by who. I’m sorry folks, but I don’t believe in time outs, etc ...” D.J. “Any person is entitled to defend themselves from injury. They can’t use more force than a reasonable person would use to protect themselves. “But no one, teacher or whoever, should be expected to serve as someone else’s punching bag. Students who attack a teacher should have severe penalties, both within the school and within the criminal justice system.” T.H. “In my personal and humble opinion; absolutely! No one should take any abuse from another person, whether student or otherwise.” O.H.R.

Solicitor doing fine job

Once again, demonstrating his uncanny ability to create a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist, Doug Oppenheimer is now attempting to rewrite Madeira’s charter to change the way our city solicitor is selected for office. In a recent article in Suburban Life, Oppenheimer states that “the appointment of the solicitor by council is not in the best interest of the community at large.” Hmm. Disregard the fact that Oppenheimer doesn’t cite a single justification for his comment, or that the existing process for filling that position has been in place for 52 years. Just take his word for it. Our current solicitor has served the city for 15 years. He’s held the position through several administrations, and to my knowledge has executed his duties responsibly, in accordance with city and state laws, and with

In other words, he has done the job he was hired to do. If you would examine his job description, I doubt that you would find any mention of his obligation to provide free legal advice to the general population. If Oppenheimer wants to make the solicitor’s office and elected

position, what is the purpose? Is he hoping that an elected official would be more willing to give out free legal advice (wills, trusts, POAs and the like?) at the taxpayer’s expense? Why politicize a position that should, by its nature, be neutral, and centered solely on the city’s business? David H. Hoffman Madeira

When police need a warrant to conduct a search The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government by requiring the use of search warrants unless an exception applies. A search warrant is an order signed by a judge that authorizes the police to search for specific property at a specific location. In order for a police officer to obtain a search warrant, he must convince a judge that there is “probable cause” to believe that either ongoing criminal activity or evidence of a crime is present at the place to be searched. Police give the judge affidavits which report their own observations or those of private citizens or reliable police informants. The police officer must swear to the truth of the affidavit. If the judge believes that probable cause exists the judge will authorize the search warrant. Most searches occur without a warrant because there are several exceptions to the warrant requirement. The most common exceptions are: consent searches, plain

view searches, after an arrest, automobiles, and emergency situations. If an officer asks you to search your clothing, house, office Brad or car and you Greenberg give permission, the search is Community valid. Whatever Press guest the officer finds is columnist admissible in evidence. Police do not need to warn you that you can refuse consent to search. No warrant is required when an officer is somewhere he has a right to be and sees contraband or evidence of a crime in “plain view.” For example, if a crime victim calls the police to report a burglary and an officer sees cocaine on the victim’s table, the officer can seize it. A warrant is not required to search a suspect after an arrest. The police may search the suspect and the immediate area around the suspect for weapons and con-

traband. This exception is allowed to protect the officer and to prevent the destruction of evidence. Automobiles, because of their mobility, are subject to special rules. For instance, cars may be searched without a warrant if validly stopped and police have probable cause to believe the car contains contraband or evidence of a crime. There are a number of emergency situations where obtaining a warrant is not practical and therefore not required. These include when an officer is in “hot pursuit” of a fleeing suspect, or when there is immediate danger of someone getting hurt or the destruction of evidence. Defense attorneys may challenge the legality of a search or seizure by the police. The attorney files a motion to suppress evidence and argues that the search was unconstitutional. If the judge agrees, the prosecution will be prevented from using evidence that was found in an improper search Judge Brad Greenberg presides in Hamilton County Municipal Court.

tion and fortune to Seymour, but at quite a price. Some folks are sacrificed to the plant, but always in the most dramatic and delightful way. Zach Whittington skillfully portrayed down-on-his-luck Seymour who pleads with the plant to “Grow For Me” and has a powerful duet with Audrey Ballish in “Suddenly Seymour.” Audrey (as Audrey) dazzled the audi-

ence with her rendition of “Somewhere That’s Green.” Scene-stealer Paul Kim, made Mr. Mushnik come alive with his comedic flair and had the crowd rolling when he was (melo)dramatically swallowed by the plant. And about that plant … the Audrey 2 flesh-eating plant was personified by the rich voice of Animaesh Manglik (watch out Michael Buble!) The Do-Wap Girls – Indian

Hill’s version of the 1960’s Ronettes, sang, danced and narrated throughout. Special crowd-pleaser was senior Alex Sneider in the role of the sadistic, nitrous oxide-loving dentist. He played his role with perfection and wowed the audience with “Dentist” and “It’s Just the Gas.” He has had a stellar career in Indian Hill Theater with many lead roles and proved his star status yet again in his final role at Indian Hill High School.

What happens when we keep on keeping on? This is a reprint of a Father Lou column from 2010. Father Lou is currently dealing with medical issues that prevent him from carrying out a full schedule, including penning new columns.

Somewhere in our lives we chose a road. There will always be Frost’s two paths that diverge in an unknown woods. Maybe even more than two. Once we reach a reasoned conviction of which of the two to follow – which is not always easy to accomplish – we set out on one on them. Then what? Then it’s time for perseverance, to continue steadfastly. Colloquially, it’s time to keep on keeping on. Untrustworthy negative thoughts can pester us again and again: “Should I have chosen a different path; if this is the right one shouldn’t it always be easy and enjoyable?” “Why these problems? Are they signs of a wrong

choice and a directive to go backward?” “Did I blow it?” If you wonder about your life in similar ways then you were symboliFather Lou cally present Guntzelman years ago when Perspectives a man came for an appointment. Though he smiled politely, feelings of disappointment and sadness accompanied him. As his life story unfolded, he lamented, “ You know, Father Lou, I’ve always thought that if you worked hard at handling your life when you were younger, things would eventually get better. “To me, life is like climbing a mountain. I’ve always had the expectation that by this time in my life I would come to a kind of

plateau where the troubles of life level off. “Now I’m beginning to wonder if there will ever be a plateau. The mountain just keeps going up – and I’m getting so tired of climbing.” I had known this man for years and had a great respect for him. This was one of those times that many of us clergy wish we had a special word or prayer to salve someone’s troubled mind. I realize now that all I have is the same humanness, a listening ear, and a heart that cares. “As a mountain-climber, what are your options?” I inquired. “Well,” he mused, “I guess I could just sit and weep or wait for someone to come by and help me; or I could slide down to the bottom and stop climbing. “Then again, I could give up completely and jump off the mountain and end all the climbing and worrying.” After a long,

thoughtful pause, he sighed and suggested, “Or – I can keep on climbing.” You can tell in people’s voices and eyes when they have arrived at an answer that is really the answer, not just an expected or temporary reply. He realized that the true solution called on him for much courage – to change his negative attitude and just keep on keeping on. I asked him whether, in his solution of just keeping on, there was any benefit for him, or for any of us as we climb our mountains, to keep going even when we wonder about stopping. He paused, looked out the window thoughtfully as though he couldn’t think of any benefit. But then he did. He smiled, turned, looked me in the eye and resolutely said, “When you keep on climbing the view gets better.” Before me sat a very wise man.

A man becoming even wiser. A man gaining insight into himself and many of the perplexing paradoxes of life. Life is not a disease, not a picnic, nor a punishment. It is a path on which we travel somewhere. We look for meaning, not comfortableness. Our climb may be hard for us at times and call for every ounce of courage we have, but it rewards us by becoming more revealing as we go. Life whispers to us many of its secrets. We learn in our hearts to choose life, not quitting. It’s said: “When you climb a mountain, you feel like you’re meeting God halfway.” Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Know the policy before using layaway for purchases During these tough economic times we’ve seen layaway become an increasing popular method of shopping at several area stores. You can put down a little money over time until you’ve paid enough to buy the item. But, just what are your rights when you buy something on layaway? Meg Corcoran of Price Hill said she was surprised when she couldn’t immediately get her money back after she changed her mind about buying a patio set. She found the furniture in a

store last April. “ T h e guy says, ‘Well you can put it on layaway.’ I Howard Ain ‘s T ah ai td’ s, Hey Howard! g r e a t because I do like to do that.’ So, I put down $200, and then I sent him another $200 later on,” Corcoran said. All those payments were noted on the receipt she received from the store.

Corcoran had every intention of buying the items until she saw another patio set at another store a few weeks later. “I saw a nicer set for the price,” Corcoran said. “It was bigger so it fit my deck better because this was a smaller set. So I decided to go with the other set.” After buying the second set, she contacted the first store and asked to get back the $400 she had put down on layaway for the first set. Corcoran said the salesman told her, “I couldn’t have my money back until

We went round and round about it and he said he put out his own money for the set.” Like many people, Corcoran said she had no idea there is an Ohio law governing layaways, and didn’t know what it was. “No, I didn’t.

my receipt or anything. He says it’s posted on his cash register, but I didn’t see it.” Under Ohio’s Layaway Law, consumers wishing to cancel a layaway must do so in writing. For purchases greater than $500, as this was, if they cancel within five days they are entitled to a complete refund. After that, the store can keep up to half your money. Corcoran said she’ll now deliver a cancellation letter and get back $200. Then, when the patio set is sold, she’s told she can get back

the other $200. Kentucky has no specific layaway law, so stores have varying policies on whether or not they will allow customers to cancel and get back their money. Therefore, it’s important that you inquire about a store’s policy before deciding whether or not to sign up for layaway, no matter where you live.

Wooden bowl holds memories, salad dressing

When we pick the first tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden, I like to make my mom, Mary Nader’s, lemony salad dressing. I would have liked to teach it in class, too, but she, and I, never measured.

Well, I finally bit the bullet and did just that: measured ingredients as they went Rita in. I’m Heikenfeld sharing that recipe Rita’s kitchen today and hope you like it as much as we do. And when I make the dressing, I’m reminded of the time that we didn’t have salad for supper. Let me explain. My mom never had a lot of mixing bowls – she used hand-hewn wooden bowls from Lebanon for the most part. But for our salad (and we did have salad almost every day to accompany the meal) she used a stainless steel bowl. It was a bit battered and it was the only bowl she had for this purpose. Mom also used a wooden pestle called an “in-duhuh” to crush her garlic with salt and pepper for the dressing. Well, one day she

My mom’s lemon salad dressing

This is typical for Middle Eastern dressings. It is quite lemony and is not a “fancy” salad. This is a base recipe, so go to taste on it. If you add tomatoes, cukes, onions, etc., add them to the dressing first and some of their juices will go into it, flavoring it nicely. If you add parsley, mix it in with the greens. Cheese should be sprinkled on after mixing if you want some. But don’t overdo on the cheese. A little

Someone gave me this recipe during a class I was teaching. I didn’t get his name – he just pressed the recipe in my hand and said “try it.” I haven’t tried it yet but intend to. If you do, let me know how you like it. Jicama may be unfamiliar to you, but it’s a tuberous root veggie that’s juicy and crunchy. It tastes a little bit like an apple and can be eaten raw or cooked.

Dressing: 1

⁄2 teaspoon minced garlic or equivalent clove of garlic Salt and pepper to taste 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon olive oil Mix garlic, salt and pepper together. I use my wooden pestle (in-duh-uh) for this but a fork works well. Stir in juice and olive oil. You won’t have a lot of dressing but don’t be fooled. This is enough for 3 to 4 cups chopped lettuce, a tomato and some cucumber.

Mango jicama slaw

couldn’t find the bowl so we didn’t have salad! My sisters blamed me – they said I took it out into the yard to make some mud-pie creation. What I find amusing is that our yard was the size of a postage stamp so why it took over a day to locate the bowl is beyond me. Anyway, whenever I see a serving bowl that I “just have to have,” I stop and remember how few serving pieces Mom had, so I smile and leave it on the shelf.

“One of my hobbies is recreating recipes from foods that we have enjoyed at restaurants. The coleslaw we ate at the Fish Hopper Restaurant in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, during our 49th anniversary is different than any coleslaw we have eaten,” she said. Sounds good to me!

Mix and chill prior to serving:

8 cups shredded mix of green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots (your choice of proportions) 1 cup golden seedless raisins 1 cup chopped papaya (Libby’s canned, welldrained, or fresh) Enough Marzetti’s cold slaw dressing to moisten well. 1 cup chopped Macadamia nuts Variation: Add orangeflavored cranberries and minced onions to taste.

Recipe correction

According to Pam Anderson, the recipe for the strawberry pie needs to be altered slightly. “I think there may be 1 tablespoon too much water in the pie. It’s not setting perfectly for some. Just reduce water in cornstarch slurry from 1⁄4 cup to 3 tablespoons,” she wrote. Thanks Pam. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is an herbalist, educator and author.

MADEIRA – Two Madeira girls recently raised more than $120 for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals after hosting a sale of eclectic items. It was the fruition of some eight months of planning by Lexi Born, 8, and Cassidy Mason, 7, who sold marigold seeds, vegetable seedlings, hand-loomed potholders and homemade dog biscuits shaped like dog bones, squirrels, boots and hearts. With the help of friends, neighbors and Madeira Elementary School teachers, the girls also collected dog toys, dog carriers, towels,

bleach and rubbing alcohol for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. More donations will be collected through Thursday, June 30, at The Nutrition Niche and Little Treasures Jewelry, both on Laurel Avenue in Madeira. People can drop off dog and cat food, dog and cat toys, dog and cat crates and carriers, non-clumping cat litter, towels, blankets, sheepskin pads, laundry detergent, bleach, grooming clippers, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, antibiotic ointment, bandages and large and medium-sized plastic trash bags. The merchants also will be selling the homemade dog biscuits for the cause.

Hebrew Union graduates follow in fathers’ footsteps Completing a course of study is always a time of celebration, but for the families of three students at the Cincinnati (Clifton) campus of Hebrew Union CollegeJewish Institute of Religion, this spring has particular meaning. Each of the students will be going into the family business, so to speak. They are following in the footsteps of their fathers, and in the case of Aaron Miller, the footsteps of his grandfather as well. Mr. Miller, along with Laila Haas, were among the rabbinical students ordained Saturday May 21. Their parents joined them in celebrating their ordinations. Miller’s father, Jonathan Miller, is a rabbi at Temple Emanu-El in Birmingham, AL., as was his grandfather, Judea Miller, now deceased. Ms. Hass’s father, Steven Haas, is a cantor at Temple Beth Sholom in Miami

Beach, FL. Ariel Boxman, another HUC-JIR student, graduated with a master’s degree May 19. Those completing rabbinical studies, are awarded a master’s degree after four years and are then ordained upon completion of a fifth year. At the same time, her father, Rabbi Bradd Boxman, will accept an honorary doctorate, a distinction bestowed on those completing 25 years of service as a rabbi.

Aaron Miller’s Road to the Rabbinate

While growing up, Mr. Miller, 27, had no interest in being a rabbi. He tells a story of how as a typical 14-year-old, he battled with his father over taking out the garbage. But when his father asked him if he would rather be a garbage man or a rabbi when he grew up, the teen had no doubt. He’d rather be a garbage man. Miller says he was not overly rebellious in high school. He says one of the worse things he did was eat pepperoni pizza. He credits growing up in the South as part of what nurtured his faith. “It’s cool to be religious in the South.” When as jun-

iors and seniors, his high school friends began taking their faith seriously and reading the Bible, he did the same. “We would talk about the Bible over lunch.” The Reform Jewish Summer Camp Movement, which he attended every year, first has a young camper and then in later years as a junior counselor, also fed his faith. But it wasn’t until a family vacation that he told him his parents that he was beginning to consider the rabbinate. And that happened accidentally. Although she denies it, says Mr. Miller, his mother over packs. She takes more clothes on vacation than she can fit into her suitcase. So she tucks the extra garments into the suitcases of other family members. At one point, as the family was driving to Sanibel Island in Florida, his mother reached over to her son’s back pack to grab something of hers out of it. As she did so, she came across the TaNakh, the Jewish Bible, which Mr. Miller planned to read while on vacation – just as his friends were doing on their vacations. She held it up in shock. “What is this doing here?” Mr. Miller’s father saw it

and said, “Why do you have that?” Mr. Miller laughs. Of all the things a parent could find in a teen son’s backpack, certainly a Bible should not be cause for consternation. But it was so unexpected for his parents. Mr. Millers simply said, “Well, I am thinking of becoming a rabbi.” His father was thrilled, but he never pushed his son in that direction. Still the senior Miller had a hand in his son’s decision. “If my father did not love being a rabbi, if he did not love his congregation as much as he does, I would never have considered becoming a rabbi.” At his ordination, Mr. Miller will wear his grandfather’s tallit, the prayer shawl his grandmother gave him when his grandfather died. Judea Miller, a rabbi for a congregation in Rochester, N.Y., was a prominent social justice activist through the 1960s through the 1990s. He was active in the civil rights movement, spearheaded the effort to force the Soviet Union to allow Jews to emigrate to countries where they could freely practice their faith and took a leading role in the sanctuary movement that harbored

Central Americans fleeing violence and death in their homelands. He fought against the death penalty, and his congregation was the first to openly welcome gays and lesbians in to the congregation. For a thesis, Mr. Miller wrote a biography of his grandfather, whose papers are stored at the American Jewish Archives at HUC-JIR. “I felt so lucky that I could do that, that the papers were there. It allowed me to get to know him as a rabbi. I only knew him as a grandfather – he died when I was 11. It breaks my heart that my grandfather won’t be there for my ordination. He would have been so proud.” The Hyde Park resident and his wife, Lauren, will be moving to Washington, D.C., this summer where Mr. Miller will serve as one of the rabbis for the Washington Hebrew Congregation.

Ariel Miller finds her own faith

Becoming a rabbi was not something, Ariel Boxman, 25, considered while growing up. “I grew up in a typical Jewish home where we observed the customs of the

Jewish faith, but I was never particularly interested in religion,” she says. Then she spent a semester in Israel while in high school. The experience was “transformative.” “I found the Jewish of myself, not my parents or anyone else,” she says. “I returned home and said, ‘Dad, I want to be a rabbi.’ He was shocked, but has fully supported me. “I think he thought my interest might fade, but it didn’t.” She became involved with Jewish organizations at American University in Washington, D.C., where she studied international relations. Upon graduation, she moved to Cincinnati to begin rabbinical studies. After she is ordained next year, the Amberly Village resident plans to pursue a master’s degree in Jewish education, a new offering of HUC-JIR. “Traditionally, you go to a synagogue upon ordination,” said Ms. Boxman. “But my passion is education. I want to work in a synagogue educating youth and adults. “I am very excited.” And her father is very proud.

Crashes involving students rise As summer temperatures rise, so do crashes involving school-age children – especially those who walk and ride bikes. In fact, a recent five-year study by Ohio Department of Transportation reveals crashes involving school-age children (ages 5-18) make up nearly 40 percent of all pedestrian and bicyclist crashes – with June through August combining for more than 3,500

crashes, the largest threemonth total. ODOT safety experts say the increase in crashes during the summer months is due to a combination of factors. The first being the beginning of summer vacation for students, which means there is an influx of kids who are outside playing and engaging in recreational activities. In 2010, there were near-

ly 299,767 crashes across Ohio with 1,081 deaths and 10,175 serious injuries. Between 2006 and 2010, more than 23,297 crashes were pedestrian and bicyclerelated resulting in 552 fatalities and 20,478 injuries (3,699 serious injuries). For safety tips please see attached Tip Card. Share the Road is part of a national effort to encourage roadway safety and awareness.

THANKS TO JUDITH MCKINNEY

Playing the bagpipes

The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Ohio paid tribute Memorial Day to American military who have died in wars since the colonial era. Kenwood bagpiper Chris McLennan, center, played “Amazing Grace,” after which Society members named ancestors and loved ones who perished in America’s wars and armed conflicts. Several combat veterans revered the memories of comrades-at-arms who perished near them during battle. Joining McLennan in kilts are Prescott Bigelow III, left, and Prescott Bigelow IV. The Bigelow family is completing a family genealogy to document a qualifying ancestor serving in the military or public office during the American colonial era. This documentation is required for membership in the Society of Colonial Wars.
