Board cites Amity advantages Traffic, central location among factors in vote
By Amanda Hopkins
ahopkins@communitypress.com
At their Sept. 1 meeting, Deer Park Board of Education unanimously selected the Amity Elementary site at 4320 E. Galbraith Road as the location for a potential new pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade elementary school. If the district’s 5.87-mill bond issue passes in November, the Deer Park school district will build a new elementary school on the 3.75-acre site and renovate the current Junior/Senior High School for grades six through 12. District parents, school board members, Deer Park city council members and business owners shared their thoughts on how a new elementary school could change the look of Deer Park and what opportunities could open up for students. • Deer Park City Council member Christine Hedger said a

new elementary school at the Amity Elementary site will help the city both on the business side and by keeping young families in the district. “Anything we can do to make our city a place for people to stay,” Hedger said. • School Board Member Tom Griswold said he voted in favor of the Amity site because the centralized location makes it easier to access for both Deer Park and Sycamore Township students. Griswold started in the Deer Park district in 1957 as a teacher and coach. He said he also thinks the new buildings would give students the opportunity for new technology in the classroom. “Our children should have that advantage,” Griswold said. • “It wasn’t an easy decision. It was hard to give up those three extra acres we could build on at Holmes. But, I do think that it will

It was a funeral that first brought The Rev. Tim Bunch to St. Saviour Church; it was a much more joyous occasion that saw his return. Bunch was recently appointed by Archbishop Dennis Schnurr as the new pastor at the Sycamore Township church. Bunch, who spent 11 years at St. Peter-inChains in Hamilton, said he applied for the position with St. Saviour after attending the funeral at the church and feeling very comfortable in the parish’s atmosphere. “I had known it was an active,

Bunch has been in the priesthood for 31 years and has spent time in four other parishes in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati besides St. Saviour and St. Peter in Chains. Bunch said he is still meeting parishoners and getting to know
the routine of the church since starting July 6. “I want to experience things (at St. Saviour) before coming in with other ideas,” Bunch said. Bunch replaces The Rev. Patrick Crone, who was pastor at the church since July 2000.

After a rash of thefts in several neighborhoods, Hamilton County sheriff deputies will be combating the crimes by walking the streets. Sycamore Township sheriff liaison Lt. Dan Reid said deputies will be walking the Reid neighborhoods and checking for cars that are unlocked or have valuables left out in the open. Reid most of the thefts in the township have occurred because residents left valuables in their cars and left their cars unlocked If a deputy notices that a car is unlocked or that electronic devices are in plain view, a note that looks like a citation will be left on the car to notify the owner of the potential for theft. The thefts have occurred through the entire township with reports from Heitmeyer Farms, Kenwood Towne Center, High Point and Rossmoyne.

despite initially being disappointed about the selection of Amity. “However, the bond (issue) is about building schools for our 21st century students and the focus should be on what happens inside the building not about where it is located. “Because of the condition of our schools, our district cannot afford not to build a new elementary school and renovate the currentjunior/senior high school. We must be forward thinking and prepare for the future,” Carpenter said.

School districts get state rankings By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com
Students are not the only ones who receive grades. Local school districts received their state report cards in the last few weeks. Madeira City Schools was rated Excellent this year, down from its ranking of
Excellent with Distinction last year. The Deer Park City Schools were just short of reaching the excellent mark as a district. Holmes Primary was rated excellent and the high school and Amity Elementary were rated as effective. The entire district was ranked as effective.
Are You Considering Cataract Surgery?
Gray Deer Park Superintendent Kim Gray said the high school was rated excellent before the performance measure of adequate yearly progress was factored in. The adequate yearly progress measures if each student has progressed in their education by one year. Gray said she is not discouraged and said the teachers, staff and students have been working hard the high school. She said when she first came to Deer Park six years ago the graduation rate was 77 percent. According to the state report card, the graduation rate is now 94 percent. “I think we’ll meet it next year,” Gray said. “We know what the work is and will focus on that.”

Acclaimed Madeira painter Les LeFevre was inspired at an unlikely place when the president of the Madeira Historical Society asked him to draw a soaring eagle for use on a special 9/11 flag. “Doug (Oppenheimer) wanted an eagle drawn for a flag remembering 9/11 and I drew it on a MacDon-
ald’s napkin one morning,” LeFevre said. “It took a couple of months, but I finally did a color painting for him to use as the design.” The historical society commissioned 11 of the flags – which read “Remember the Fallen, September 11, 2001, 9-11” – from flag manufacturers Annin & Co. of Roseland, N.J.

The Sept. 11 flag presented by the Madeira Historical Society to various city departments. one to the city of Madeira and two to the Madeira and Indian Hill Joint Fire District – one for the Madeira fire station and the other for the station in Indian Hill. “On behalf of city council and all of our residents, we are deeply appreciative of the Madeira Historical Society’s efforts in commemorating 9/11,” City Manager Tom Moeller said. “We all know the very significant place this date now holds in the history of our country. “The new flag is a great way of acknowledging this tragic event,” Moeller said. The historical society plans to sell eight of the flags; State Rep. Ron Maag, a Republican from Salem Township who represents Madeira, is among three buyers who have already snatched one up. The flags cost close to $800 and the historical society was able to buy them thanks to Tom and Peggy Frank of Madeira. “Tom and Peggy are society members and are very patriotic,” Oppenheimer said. “They have underwritten enough of the total cost so that the society will realize some profit.” Sept. 11, Dona Brock, curator of the Miller House Museum, gave the city its flag and Boy Scouts from Troop 555 at St. Gertrude Church and Troop 209 from Madeira-Silverwood Presbyterian Church – both in Madeira – raised it on the flag pole in front of city hall. LeFevre, his wife, Kathy, and historical society board member Susan Hill presented the fire department with its flags. Oppenheimer said he promised Madeira City Council last year that if it made Sept. 11 a day of remembrance in the city, he would create and donate a 9/11 flag. Council agreed and he followed through. “There is not another flag like ours,” Oppenheimer said.

Indian Hill students ‘love’ their tennis experience By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com
Two Indian Hill Middle School eighth-graders not only got a chance to attend a recent tennis tournament, they also interviewed the celebrities involved. Katherine Arnold, 13, of Symmes Township, and Abigail Singer, 13, of Indian Hill, participated in video interviews with a number of the participants in the Western and Southern Financial Group Masters and Women’s Open tennis tournament. The interviews were posted on www.cincinnati.com as well as on You Tube. “We got to go to the outdoor player’s lounge,” said Singer. “We had prepared questions, but quickly realized you have to ask questions about the match.” Both Singer and Arnold met numerous celebrities at the event including Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Caroline Wozniacki. “A highlight was seeing them off the court and (having) them talk to us as reporters and not (just) as fans,” said Arnold. Singer said the experience was both fun and educational. “We didn’t know what to expect,” she said. “It was learning on the job.” Arnold said she and Singer worked well with one another. “I liked the reporting aspect,” she said. “Abigail is good at the writing, and I help with the presentation. “That’s why we make a great team.”

For the fifth straight year, the INTERalliance of Greater Cincinnati conducted multiple one-week sessions of its IT Careers Camp program in July for 20 local high school sophomores each week. One-hundred-twenty high school sophomores from 39 Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky high schools were selected to participate in this intense, behind-the-scenes, weeklong problem-solving experience hosted by the University of Cincinnati’s College of Business, Miami University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science or Northern Kentucky University’s College of Informatics. In each jam-packed, week-long session, four corporate-sponsored teams competed in daily “problem-solving Olympics” with the students proposing IT solutions for real-world business challenges. This year’s capstone “Technology Optimized Business Enterprise” Competition required each team to come up with a business plan for a new business enterprise that employs people with disabilities. The TOBE Competition was designed in concert with United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Cincinnati, Abilities First in Middletown and Redwood in Ft. Mitchell, Ky. Each team’s business plan was presented to a panel of “celebrity judges” from the service agencies and corporate sponsors and included such creative new business ideas as a manufacturer of foreign language speaking animal dolls, a personalized cupcake bakery and a specially equipped amusement park for people with
disabilities, staffed by people with disabilities. The high schools that participated in the competition included: Anderson, Calvary Christian School, Centerville, Cincinnati Country Day, Clark Montessori, Elder, Hamilton, Indian Hill, Lakota East, Lakota West, La Salle, Little Miami, Loveland, Madeira, McAuley, McNicholas, Milford, Moeller, Mother of Mercy, Mount Notre Dame, Oak Hills, Purcell Marian, Randall K. Cooper, Ryle, Seton, St. Ursula Academy, St. Xavier, Summit Country Day, Sycamore, Taft IT, Talawanda, Turpin, Ursuline Academy, Villa Madonna Academy, Walnut Hills, Western Hills University, William Mason, Woodward and Wyoming High School. Kenneth Li, 11th grader at Loveland High School, said the IT Careers Camp was very timely for him. “This camp was just what I needed to make an informed decision,” he said. Li also said he is considering IT as a career as a result of the INTERalliance experience. “Overall, this camp has made me rethink my future and now I believe an area in IT might be a great possibility for me,” he said. In addition to the IT Careers Camp, 36 high school juniors and seniors were placed in full-time paid summer internships at such local employers, as P&G, GE Aviation, Kroger, Kao Brands, FirstGroup America and INTERalliance. This marks INTERalliance’s fifth year of successfully finding summer internships for past IT Careers Camp participants.

MND celebrates 150-year history with reunion weekend Mount Notre Dame’s Reunion Weekend, to celebrate the school’s 150th anniversary, will be held Sept. 16 through Sept. 19. “This is a celebration in which the entire MND community can take part, not just alumnae,” says MND’s director of Alumnae Relations and Reunion Weekend coordinator Alisia Sullivan Davis. “MND’s Reunion Weekend offers events for every age and interest, and I am so excited at the response we have had thus far.” MND’s Reunion Weekend will kickoff Thursday, Sept. 16, with a Women’s Nine Hole “Two-
Women Social Scramble” at The Golf Course at Kings Island. “This is not your typical golf outing,” said MND’s director of the Grande Gala Jackie Siders of Loveland. “The light social atmosphere allows inexperienced golfers to enjoy the day just as much as the more competitive athletes.” The highlight of the golf outing happens on the seventh hole, where golfers are challenged to hit a marshmallow off the tee for the “Longest Drive with a Marshmallow” contest. Participants will begin their day with muffins and mimosas
and will finish with lunch. The festivities continue Friday, Sept. 17, with an alumnae-only, three-hour cocktail cruise aboard the Destiny Yacht. “The Destiny Yacht provides the perfect atmosphere for alumnae from over four different decades to come together and share their stories of life at MND,” Davis said. “The breath-taking view of the city at sunset is definitely something to look forward to as well.” On Saturday, Sept. 18, the MND community will have the opportunity to take a trip down
memory lane with the original theatre production “Mount Notre Dame: A History! (Abridged).” This one-act, satirical play will feature a cast of alumnae, current and former faculty and current students. Guests are invited to join the cast for a meet-and-greet reception immediately following the performance. The anniversary classes (those ending in “0” or “5”) will also come together on MND’s campus that evening for the Anniversary Classes Reunion/Homecoming Reception.
Each class is given its own special area of the school to gather together, catch up with old friends and reminisce about their MND days. The Reunion Weekend Closing Celebration Mass and Brunch will he held Sunday, Sept. 19, at 9 a.m. For complete details and to register, visit www.mndhs.org or contact Davis at 821-3044, ext. 141 or adavis@mndhs.org.

John Ruthven, a celebrated local wildlife artist, stands with his painting that will be shown at an exhibit coming to Greenacres Arts Center called Art and the Animal. The exhibit begins Aug. 26 and continues through Oct. 29. Ruthven said he’s “very involved� in Greenacres and has been an active member of the Society of Animal Artists for numerous years. He said bringing the exhibit to Cincinnati was a goal for the society, and he knew Greenacres Arts Center would be happy to host. “It’s a wonderful thing for the city, Greenacres and the Society of Animal Artists,� Ruthven said. Proceeds from art sales will assist the Greenacres Arts Center transportation fund, which helps pay to bring students to the center on field trips during the school year.
The following day, a Greenacres Farmers Fair will be presented on the front lawn of the arts center. Local residents can browse through local produce at the farmers market before attending the exhibit. Goering said the exhibit, which only travels to six cities each year, was brought to the arts center in part because of the work of John Ruthven, a local artist whose work will be displayed in “Art and the Animal.� “He was instrumental in bringing this distinguished art exhibit to Greenacres,� she said.

Amazons pick up where ’09 ended
By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Madeira High School girls’ volleyball team was phenomenal in 2009, going 18-3 and winning a share of the Cincinnati Hills League title. Despite having to replace several key players from that team, the 2010 Amazons are off to another hot start, going 5-1 in their first six matches, including a big win over rival Indian Hill. “The girls picked up right where we left off,” Madeira head coach Ellyn Wieck said. “We’re on the right track as long as we keep working hard in practice and I have no doubts that we can win as long as the girls are prepared mentally.” Wieck said she was “extremely happy” with the victory over Indian Hill, as
Madeira dropped the Braves 25-21, 25-20, 16-25, 2522 at home on Sept. 7. She said the key to the win was the team’s enthusiasm and scrappiness, and she said a strong senior class leads the team. “We have a really good senior class in setter Bridget Walsh, outside hitter Allie Balweg, libero Marissa Sears and middle hitter Lanie Frayer. They are pretty much the glue to this team,” Wieck said. “They coach each other almost as much as I coach them, and they are my second set of eyes at practice. This team would not be where it is without them.” Wieck knew it would be tough having to replace a key middle hitter, but the Amazons have become more aware as a team. “I knew we would strug-

gle with some rotational things that aren’t the norm but the kids have adapted to these changes and have figured out what works,” she said. The only loss has been to CHL-leading Wyoming, 2515, 25-11, 25-24. “If we can get a win against Wyoming, it will prove to the girls that they are a really good team still even if things are a little dif-
ferent this year,” Wieck said. “Another league title is not out of the question. Wyoming is the biggest contender, but if we keep our heads on straight we have a chance.” Wyoming is undefeated in the league (3-0 through Sept. 8) and has a 4-1 record overall. Madeira has a rematch with Wyoming Sept. 23. Taylor and Indian Hill will also be some of the
tougher league foes for the Amazons. Madeira still has non-conference matches against CHCA and Schroder on the schedule as well. Wieck said the girls’ enthusiasm is evident in the way they play. “They run plays that are more exciting than the norm, and they are very enthusiastic and into the game,” she said. “It’s fun to watch. I enjoy it.”
MND volleyball off to strong start By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
Mount Notre Dame High School head volleyball coach Joe Burke admits to feeling the pressure. Last year, Burke inherited a program that had won five state titles – including most recently in 2006 – and had advanced to at least the state semifinals four straight seasons. “There’s always pressure,” the second-year head coach said. “I think we put a lot of it on ourselves. We expect a lot out of ourselves as coaches, and the girls expect a lot out of themselves as players.” MND advanced to the regional final last year and fell to Dublin Coffman, which lost in the state final to Ursuline. The Cougars graduated eight players from that Elite-8 squad but return five starters with valuable varsity experience. Those returning starters – seniors Kathleen Donnellon of Blue Ash (OH) and Janna Reilly of Mason (S), juniors Kelsey Wolf of Symmes Township (L) and Gina Frank of Middletown (MB) and sophomore Michelle Strizak of Sharonville (OH) – have led MND to a 6-0 start as of Sept. 11. “We’ve got a lot of talent and a lot of senior leadership,” Burke said. Strizak, who is transitioning from right-side hitter to outside hitter, leads the

MND has wins over Centerville, Chaminade Julienne, St. Henry, Lakota
West, Sycamore and, perhaps most impressively, Mother of Mercy (26-24, 25-20, 25-21) “Mercy is off to a good start,” Burke said of the 3-2 Bobcats. “None of the GGCL matches are ever easy. That’s something we’re trying to teach to the younger girls.” The Cougars hosted Ursuline in a much-anticipated showdown Sept. 14 after Community Press deadlines. The Lions are undefeated on the season and went a combined 57-1 in 2008 and 2009. MND is ranked No. 2 in the city behind Ursuline. “Ursuline is the top dog until someone knocks them off,” Burke said. “They graduated a lot of players last year, but the players who filled those spots are very good.” The Cougars will rely on their defense and will to win to carry them in matches, but Burke said they must work on consistency. “I think this could be a lights-out defense, but right now we do it in spurts; we’ll (have lapses) and let balls drop,” he said. “I’d also like us to mix it up more on offense and get all of our hitters the ball.” Still, Burke added that his team has the ability to advance to the state semifinals and beyond. “I think this team can continue to build on last year,” he said. “If this team continues to grow every day, I don’t think anything

Braves tennis team off to undefeated start By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Indian Hill High School girls’ tennis team went 17-1 in the regular season in 2009 so head coach Lindsay Morris improved the difficulty of the schedule for the 2010 season. That doesn’t seem to have mattered much, as the Braves are off to a 9-0 start through Sept. 9. “I’ve been very happy with how the girls are playing,” she said. “Everyone has improved a lot from last year.” She said she has been especially impressed with the doubles teams. Taylor Schumacher and Flo Vanderschueren play first doubles. “They played together last year but have really stepped up their intensity and are looking pretty good,” she said. Brynn McKenna and Nicole Taylor play second doubles. “They hadn’t played together until this year but they really formed a good team,” Morris said. “Doubles is a high energy game and both teams bring a lot of energy to the match and that’s contagious. Everyone else on the other courts is affected by it, in a positive way.” 3-2 wins over Division I powers Sycamore and Mount Notre Dame have been the highlight to the early season hot streak. “The girls just played their game and waited for more opportunities to go on the offensive,” Morris said. “In every match we’ve

Ursuline is 9-0 and also defeated MND. Indian Hill plays Ursuline Sept. 30. Indian Hill has had a number of standouts behind the doubles team. Kelsey Matthews is 7-1 playing first singles for Indian Hill and Kasey Schumacher is 6-2 playing second singles. Rachel Littman is 8-0 playing third singles for the Braves. “We try not to get ahead of ourselves,” Morris said. “It would be great to get back to Columbus, but we’ll take it one match at a time.”

Former Deer Park gridder plays one more time Is this heaven? No. It’s the Deer Park High School football field. I played football at Deer Park High School from junior high through my senior in 1965. I was fortunate to be able to play most of those years with my older brother, Lou. He was a running back and I played on the line. There were many times I would lead the play when my brother ran the ball. Over the years since graduation my brother and I would tell each other how great it would be to go back in time and play one more game on that high school field. Just one more game. Oh, the

My lovely wife, Judy, who I met in the fifth-grade at Amity Elementary, surprised me on our flight from California to Cincinnati for our 45th high school reunion. She told me she had heard about a Deer Park Alumni touch football game to be played at the high school on Aug. 13. Anyone who ever played at Deer Park was invited to play. She had signed me up – a 63-year-old with bad knees, bad shoulders and other geriatric ailments. I called my brother Lou, who lives in West Chester Township, and asked him to meet me at field the next night. He couldn’t play because of herniated discs in his back, but he showed up to take some pictures. Even my high school football coaches, Tom Griswold and Frank Estes, now in their late 70s, were

This is just a thumbs-up for the city of Madeira administration. I walk and run the streets of Madeira and have come upon a couple safety hazards along roadways. One was a damaged storm drain and the other was a sinkhole around a utility hole. Both times I sent a letter to the mayor or city manager and both times immediate action was taken to remove or repair the hazards. A hearty thanks for doing a great job!

Sorry if I have overlooked anyone for I know numerous new businesses have indeed opened in our city bringing new services with additional tax generating revenues. Something is going right with us here in Madeira and it is due to primarily two factors. One is the business person with the plan and the creative ideas to give of their time and finance by risk investing
in a new enterprise in Madeira. Two, we have been blessed with intelligent and forward thinking leadership at city hall. The past and present mayors, the business manager, the council members and our administrative staff have led the way and opened doors for enabling development. We should be thankful also for the public safety we enjoy and the everyday cleanliness of the city we seem to take for granted. This is just another result and the benefit of having good leadership and competent management. Those who look backward and fail to recognize the need for growth and improvement may not fully understand what it takes to motivate a vigorous business climate and to attract the very best of new ideas and services for our citizens.

Anti-abatement arguments exaggerated I find the opposition to the Bradford Place tax abatement to be grossly overstated, specifically the posting in the Sept. 1 Suburban Life “Viewpoints” section authored by Jim Horwitz. While more than half of his tirade focuses on a rather fallacious attack on the city council as a whole, and in two instances personal affronts to individuals, his opening argument postulates five bullet points in defense of his opposition. References to “squandered tax revenues” make little sense. How does, increasing tax revenues on the collective properties in increments of 300 percent, 900 percent and ultimately 2,000 percent (see below), translate into squandering? Furthermore, a failed project benefits neither the developer nor the city. Should this happen, surrounding property values will likely be eroded and existing tax revenues could suffer. Conversely,
completion of the project is more likely to increase surrounding property values, thus increasing those revenues and helping to David offset the impact Hoffman of the abateCommunity ment. And, by the way, full Press guest occupancy of columnist the development would also increase the earnings tax base for the city. He goes on about “shifting the burden of a price reduction from the developer to the Madeira taxpayers.” OK, let’s say the developer drops the price by 30 percent. Well, that also reduces the overall valuation of the property, thereby reducing the tax burden by 30 percent. In addition, you
have now reduced the potential income of Riverstone, a Madeirabased company, and thus reduced the earnings taxes paid to the city. His next two items seem somewhat redundant and refer to “nightmarish precedents” with regard to economic development in the community. Let’s be honest and a bit less dramatic. A precedent can be set by any action enforced by this, or any council. Regardless of the issue, it’s the responsibility of the members of that body to judiciously craft a proposal that excludes willy-nilly attempts to expand the intended scope of the legislation. Finally, the author simply states, “Tax abatements frequently don’t work.” Really? That generalized opinion that can be either repudiated or reinforced, depending on how you “tailor” your Google search. Mr. Horwitz also asks us to join him in a referendum to repeal the pending legislation should it pass.

I don’t know what it costs to hold a special election, but I’m guessing they’re not free, and unless Mr. Horwitz is magnanimous enough to pay for it, then Madeira taxpayers will foot the bill. In defense of the abatement, here’s a concise summary of the primary benefits: • Previous properties created about $18,000 in annual tax revenues. Currently, Bradford Place generates between $50,000 and $60,000 in revenues. • With abatements, and providing all properties sell, there would be approximately $150,000 in tax revenues. • When the abatement expires, property taxes alone would generate $300,000 to $400,000 in revenues per annum. No sleight-of-hand, just simple hard facts. What’s not to like? David Hoffman is a resident of Madeira.

Like it or not, we are always being judged This is not going to be easy to write. But, it must be said. First, I must make it very clear that I am not a prejudiced person. I have had, and in some cases, still have friends of many religions and races. What disturbs me is the amount of hatred that some find toward someone who is ethnically different. But, it doesn’t stop there. There is also hatred within groups. Don’t quit reading here and just think, “yeah, you’re right!” Recent events are driving this essay. Let me take you back more than 50 years. I was in the Army, stationed in Germany. I was having dinner in the mess hall with a good friend. We had a lot of things in common. We were both recent college graduates, He, from Howard University I, from Bowling Green. We were having a spirited discussion when the company bigot started yelling at me for my choice of dinner companions. After my extremely strong reply, if he had a tail it would have been between his legs. Jim was silent for a few minutes then said something I have quoted many times. He said, “fools do not bother me, it is the silent bigots that scare me.” This is the problem I want to
address. Overt bigotry is not in style these days. It can get you into serious trouble. Edward Levy U n f o r t u Community n a t e l y , is a Press guest hate common columnist h u m a n failure. It is not something we have at birth. We learn it very young. Silent bigotry is prevalent and growing. The silent bigot observes people and connects his insane hate to anyone who falls into his categorized hatred. We all should be aware of this fact. Any person who is aware of the news or observes human behavior would have to agree. Unfortunately, we let our ethnicity or religion overpower our humanity. This is the root of most of our troubles. Greed is sometimes a factor. Basically, our evil instincts are focused on people who are more like us than we care to admit. Race, religion or nationality only become weak excuses for our basic insecurities. Diversity should be celebrated and promoted in a fairminded society. Instead, it is
the focus of jealousy and resentment for many people. Because of the way it is administered, I contend that it is the root of much bigotry. It is easier to hate than compete. It is easy to watch silent bigotry in action. You can be in a public place. Faces are sometimes easy to read. Expressions give you away. What is interesting to me is that people use these moments not to learn, but to re-enforce their prejudices. It they dislike anyone, they use that person as a representative of some group to support their feelings. Your actions are used to typify whatever ethnic group you are perceived to represent. You may even be judged by your bodily appearance or your clothing. Over the years I have learned that the old saying, “To get along, go along” seems to work best. Acceptance and progress come slowly, but they do come. Let us add one more thought. “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” Leo Tolstoy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR From A9 not be perplexing since communities everywhere are in competition to attract as well as maintain the most productive resources to serve the public interest. Those who are creative and take the risks bring improved value to our city.
Why shouldn’t Madeira encourage the risk takers by providing some incentive? It’s not for greed or for any special advantage, but to make it more feasible for new ventures to compete and survive. We have lost a manufacturer recently and we need to get busy to attract a replacement. The

Buttress honored for philanthropy By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com
The Greater Cincinnati Foundation has given its Bridge Builder Award to attorney Christine Buttress of Blue Ash. The award recognizes a professional advisor who has been a supporter of the foundation – a philanthropic organization based in downtown Cincinnati – in multiple ways over many years. Buttress was honored at the foundation’s 2010 annual luncheon Sept. 8 at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza in downtown Cincinnati. “Chris is a great supporter of the foundation,” said Suzanne Rohlfs, director of professional advisor relations with the foundation. “She raises awareness about GCF in the community and specifically, in the professional-advisor community. “Whenever asked, she is willing to be an advocate and to speak about the benefits of charitable giving and GCF,” Rohlfs said. A grant will be made to Pro Seniors in honor of Buttress, an attorney with Graydon Head, which has offices in downtown Cincinnati, West Chester Township
and Fort Mitchell, Ky. She’s been practicing law for more than 25 years. Pro Seniors is a nonprofit organization that provides free legal help to older adults. “The Greater Cincinnati Foundation exemplifies the generosity of the citizens of our region,” Buttress said. “I am honored to be recognized by the foundation and have appreciated the opportunity to work with its many committed professionals in helping our clients achieve their philanthropic goals.” The Greater Cincinnati Foundation was established in 1963 to encourage philanthropy in eight counties in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. It provides grants and leadership in the areas of arts and culture, community and economic development, education, the environment and health and human services. “The Greater Cincinnati Foundation helps people make the most of their giving to build a better community,” said Julia Mace, the foundation’s communications officer. “We believe in the power of philanthropy to change the lives of people and communities.”

Cincinnati theater recognition programs combine forces Cincinnati’s two theater awards and recognition programs – the Acclaim Awards, supported by The Cincinnati Enquirer, and the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards for Theater, supported by CityBeat – announced that they will combine forces for the 2010-2011 season and beyond. The strengthened Acclaims program, with an added element now called the Cincinnati Theater Awards (CTAs), begins with the start of the new season. CityBeat’s Rick Pender and the Enquirer’s Jackie Demaline will be involved in the program, serving on judging panels and as members of the Acclaim Awards executive committee, which will manage the awards process and the annual May recognition event. Demaline, Enquirer theater critic, said, “Both the
Acclaims and Cincinnati Entertainment Awards have been committed to recognizing so many things that are outstanding about Cincinnati theater – the artists, the educators, the professionals, the amateurs – and to reaching out to the entire regional community to become a part of it. By sharing an evening of celebration with the addition of the CTAs, the Acclaims are hoping to ensure a credible and sustainable program for the future that will help keep Cincinnati theater in the spotlight locally, regionally and even nationally.” The Acclaim Awards, which began in 2004, maintain a substantial volunteer base of theater practitioners. They will continue a through-the-season recognition of excellent theater and the annual recognition event in May, handing
out an Acclaim award to the winner in each of multiple categories covering performers, technical aspects and overall productions. Acclaims recommendations during the theater season will be the nomination mechanism for awards, which will then be decided by the panelists. Other elements of the Acclaims – including the recognition of outstanding theater educators and “Rising Stars,” as well as grants for local guest Equity artists and individual theater artists – will be continued. The CTA aspect of the Acclaims will invite public input for favorite performers and productions in 10 categories focusing on nominees involved in community theater and university theater – nominations will offer choices in those two arenas for favorite actor,
favorite actress, favorite musical and favorite play. Two additional, openended categories will ask the public to nominate and vote for their favorite play and musical of the season from any theater. The Cincinnati Entertainment Awards originally combined recognition of local theater and local music in one annual event between 1997 and 2004, when the CEAs evolved into separate theater and music programs. The music CEAs will continue to hold its annual recognition program in November. The next Acclaim Awards program (the first that will combine the Acclaims and CTAs) is scheduled for Monday, May 23, at the Aronoff Center’s Jarson-Kaplan Theater.

What do you call it? An affair or a betrayal? You know what a euphemism is? It’s something awful dressed up to look like something nice. It’s words in sheep’s clothing. For example, betraying the vow you made to your spouse when you were married is not called a betrayal, adultery or being unfaithful. It’s called, “extramarital sex,� “one-night stand,� “playing around� or having “an affair.� A word like affair can even have a certain sophistication about it, and not only to “Desperate Housewives.� Some studies suggest almost half of husbands are unfaithful at some point in their marriage. Women are less to be
unfaithful, but researchers admit they’re not really sure about that because women are better at concealing it and are less likely to own up to it. Why are we so blasÊ about the most sacred and serious vow we make in our lives? What are the possible motives? Some are: wanting to feel desired or young or free; a narcissistic ego seeking grandiosity; looking for more emotional intimacy and warmth; wanting to rebel, humiliate or punish the other, or to prove you’ve still got it; seeking pleasure without personal and emotional involvement; trying to alleviate loneliness; acting out an envy which thinks every
other couple is more sexually fulfilled, so why not me? It can also be a way to deny the coming of middle age, or to regain the thrill of early romance, and so on. Author Ruth Houston says, “Women are usually looking for emotional fulfillment and men are looking for sex. Women tend to do it as a last resort after they’ve tried everything else, but their words have fallen on deaf ears.� Psychologist David Wexler says, “Men feel alive and worthy when they look into the eyes of a partner and see love, delight and respect mirrored back. A ‘broken mirror’ is a partner’s constant
view.� The joining of two people in marriage is founded upon a mutual exchange of holy pledges. These are the only true vows that most people will ever make. A vow differs from a mere promise or a resolution. A vow is not like the signing of a legal document nor is it like any other human promise. As author Mike Mason puts it, “A vow is, per se, a confession of inadequacy and an automatic calling upon the only adequacy there is, which is the mercy and power of God. “To keep a vow means not just to keep from breaking it, but rather to devote
the rest of one’s life to discovering what the vow means, and to be willing to change and grow accordingly.� Marital unfaithfulness brings some temporary pleasures but also a spreading dishonesty and guilt – especially if one has thought of oneself as an honest person. “It’s awfully easy to lie when you know you are trusted implicitly – and so very degrading,� said Laura in the movie “Brief Encounter.� Despite the casualness with which some brush off their infidelities or excuse a “casual fling,� it is deeply disturbing to the cheated-upon
spouse. I t means that Father Lou something important Guntzelman is lost and Perspectives gone from the marriage, perhaps forever. The trust, the love, the many dreams that were shared when the vows were first made, don’t shine as brightly anymore – and, in pain, one wonders if they ever will. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Contact him at columns@ communitypress.com or P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242.
Smart idea to check out used car before buying it There are several steps to take in order to protect yourself when buying a used car. I continue to receive several complaints each month from used car buyers who complain the vehicle doesn’t work correctly and the dealer won’t do anything about it. They fail to realize often the dealer is not obligated to do so. If the vehicle is sold “As Is� it doesn’t even have to be roadworthy. Lawrence Bailey of Forest Park was looking for an older-model Mercedes Benz, saw one advertised, and went to the used car dealer offering it for sale. While taking it for a test drive he noticed several problems. “Lights on the dashboard came on. They said they would take care of those things and I could pick the car up the next day,� Bailey
said. Bailey agreed to pay $4,300 for the vehicle and the next day drove it off the lot. On his way home he noticed the odometer was not moving and called the dealership. “The salesman said, ‘If you give me $75 to $125, we’ll put another one in there and we just won’t charge you labor,’ � Bailey said. Bailey said he was not at all happy with that response, nor with the black paint that was washing off the back of the car with the first rain. The ad for the car said it was black, so did the key chain tag – but the sales contract said it was slate gray. It’s that slate gray color that was now coming through under the black paint. The biggest problem for Bailey is he relied on the odometer statement he
received from the dealer stating the vehicle had 158,000 miles on it. The statement failed to disclose the odometer could be wrong. No one really knows how many miles are on the car, but Bailey suspects there could be a lot more. “They have it listed as 158,413, but I later found some documents in the glove box that said it was over 200,000 miles,� Bailey said. He found that reading on a transmission repair receipt dated three years ago. In addition, there were service stickers on the inside of the front door that stated the car had been serviced long after it had traveled 158,000 miles. “I would just like my money back and not even deal with it any further,� Bailey said.
If the documents with the car are correct, the odometer has been rolled back – possibly in order to get a higher sale price. The car salesman tells me he was unaware there were any odometer problems at the time of sale. Bailey complained to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and state officials at first treated it as a broken odometer. After I contacted them,

and explained about the possible odometer rollback, officials have decided to take another look at the complaint. To avoid such problems, I suggest getting a Carfax report before buying a used car.

Enjoy beginning of fall with end-of-garden soup No matter how much time I allow for cleaning the house and cooking the food when we have people over, I always wind up with more to do than I thought. And I Rita a l w a y s Heikenfeld like to mop the Rita’s kitchen k i t c h e n floor before our guests come. My husband, Frank, thinks I’d be less stressed if I paid less attention to the floor. “No one ever looks at the floor,” he tells me.
Well, that may be true, but I do and I admit I’m obsessive about it getting mopped. I wonder how many of you feel the same way?
End of garden zucchini, corn and sausage soup
I’m still getting decent peppers from the garden, although with this heat and lack of rain, they are very thin-walled. I found this out when I diced a bunch of them for the freezer. But their flavor is still good, and I used two of the smaller red bell peppers for this soup. I got this recipe from my friend, Batavia reader Bert Villing, who received it from
Sue, one of our colleagues. I think Bert called it “zucchini sausage soup.” I changed the name since I made several adaptations to it. Her original recipe used 2 cups celery, 1⁄2 teaspoon each of the basil and oregano, and no chickpeas, corn or broth. Next time I’ll add a minced garlic clove or two along with the onions and celery. 1 pound Italian sausage 1 cup diced onion 1 cup diced celery or more to taste 1 large bell pepper, diced 1 teaspoon each: dry basil and oregano 28 oz. canned diced
tomatoes with juice (can also substitute 4 cups fresh) 14.5 oz. can chickpeas or canellini beans, drained Frozen corn (I used my own, about 2 cups) 3 generous cups diced squash (I used patty pan that Bert gave me) Chicken broth if necessary Parmesan cheese Salt and pepper to taste Brown sausage, drain off fat. Add onions, celery and bell pepper, and cook several minutes, until onions start to turn translucent. Add everything else but broth. Cook, covered, at a simmer for about 30 minutes until veggies are tender. If you want, add broth

Rock around the clock at St. Paul St. Paul Community United Methodist of Madeira invites friends and neighbors to “Rock Around the Clock” when the church stages its sixth annual fall cabaret, dinner and silent auction on Saturday, Sept. 18. A few tickets remain for a $22 per person donation, which benefit a choral scholarship program that helps talented young musicians continue their studies. Call 891-8181. The church is at 8221 Miami Road, at the inersection of Kugler Mill. Remember when Cincinnati teens in hot rods and customs drove their dates to the Mainliner for a Big Boy, or took them dancing at a
high school sock hop? Remember 45 rpm records and the young rock and rollers who came out of nowhere to become teen idols overnight? Musicians from St. Paul will reprise hits from the 1950s by such performers as Buddy Holly and Bill Haley and the Comets. Vocalists and an accompanying band will recall such hits as the show’s theme song, “Rock Around the Clock”; “Johnny B. Goode,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Earth Angel,” “Little Darling,” “Mr. Sandman” and “Hello, Mary Lou.” Directing the cabaret will be Eric DeForest, who heads the opera program at Northern Kentucky University,
and St. Paul music director Patrick Coyle, who leads the Cincinnati Men’s Chorus. DeForest and Coyle will perform, as will Shannon Wilson, who made the finals of this year’s Opera Idol competition, and Steven Shafer, a finalist last year. Other entertainers include Lauren Bailey, Alice Edwards, Marlene Kane, Bob May, Jennifer Melms, Craig Monsell, Brian Reynolds and Mark Schneider. The comic Discount Sopranos, who brought down the house at last year’s cabaret, will share the spotlight with a group called the Angelic Altos.

f your mom lives by herself, it’s only natural to worry about her during the course of your day. After all, you remember a time when she was constantly on the go.
Nowadays, she stays home more and more. You find yourself constantly wondering: Is she lonely? Is she safe? Is she happy? Help quiet your worries by looking into senior living at Amber Park. Many seniors are energized with a whole new zest for life as they socialize with people their own age, people they can relate to. She’ll be too busy rediscovering some of the things she loves to do like exploring the Cincinnati Museum Center, shopping at Kenwood Towne Center or taking in a Broadway play in Cincinnati’s Theater District. And you’ll feel good, too, knowing that your mom is safe and happy. See for yourself why seniors living at Amber Park experience an invigorating sense of independence, freedom and optimism.

Max and Erma’s closes in Kenwood Gannett News Service
The Max & Erma’s restaurant chain has closed nine stores, including one in Kenwood, just days after the company was sold to new owners who say they plan to turn the struggling restaurant chain around. The Kenwood location was located in the Sycamore Plaza at 7800 Montgomery
Road. Three other locations in Ohio that closed were in Columbus, Maumee and Solon, a spokeswoman who asked that her name not be used told the Columbus Dispatch. The other five locations were in Indianapolis, Chicago, Lexington and Grandville, Mich. A total of 450 jobs were affected, she said.
The sale of the Columbus-based chain to Fidelity Newport Holdings, which also owns Bakers Square and Village Inn restaurants, was approved by a judge in bankruptcy court in Pittsburgh earlier this month. The restaurants were closed in conjunction with the purchase, the company said.

WindSeeker to debut at Kings Island in 2011 If you think riding Drop Zone at Kings Island is a thrill, wait until next year! Kings Island will continue to change the landscape for thrill seekers in 2011 with WindSeeker, a 301-foot-tall tower that will spin riders 30 stories above the park. Seated in two-person swings that will allow their feet to dangle, riders will slowly begin rotating in a circular motion as the swings ascend the tower. At the top, the swings will reach speeds up to 30 mph, flaring out 45 degrees from the
tower. WindSeeker will accommodate 64 riders (32 swings) per ride cycle. “The addition of WindSeeker reflects our commitment to providing our guests with world-class thrills, fun and fantastic family entertainment,” Kings Island vicepresident and general manager Greg Scheid said. “Soaring 300 feet above Kings Island will provide an exciting ride experience for our guests.” WindSeeker will be in the Coney Mall section of the
park near the Vortex ride exit. Ride renderings and animation video are available at www.visitkingsisland.com. The $5 million ride is manufactured by Mondial, a 23-year-old Dutch-based company. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall to ride and will be secured with individual over-the-head lap bars with interlocking seat belts. WindSeeker will make its debut when Kings Island opens for the 2011 season in the spring.
Our Lady of Angels Class of 1980 – will celebrate its 30th Reunion at 7 p.m. Oct. 30, at a casual gathering at the Century Inn in Woodlawn. E-mail OurLadyofAngels80@gmail.com or see the OLA Facebook page for more information.
