BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

Tri-County Mall in foreclosure

‘Unconventional’ ideas sought for center

By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Foreclosure has left the future of Tri-County Mall uncertain.

The shopping center will be sold at a sheriff’s sale July 11, more than $204 million in debt.

“In all likelihood, not a great deal will change for now,” Springdale Economic

Director Jeff Tulloch said.

“But the city’s position is that we’d like to see a revitalization.”

Tri-County is a conventional mall, and Tulloch said it would benefit from more entertainment and restaurants.

Even a hotel or office space.

Currently, Tri-County has just a couple of restaurants and a food court among the retail inside the mall.

Another option could be an open-air center, Tulloch said, which is less expensive to maintain.

“In a conventional mall, you have open space to clean, heat, cool, provide security, lighting,” he said. “It’s huge.”

Those are the options that the new owner, who remains unnamed, will weigh after the July 11 sale of the shopping center, which opened in 1960.

Shillito’s and H&S Pogue were the anchors, and Tri-

County Center opened as an open air mall of 52 stores.

It was enclosed by 1968, Sears moved in as a third anchor store, and it was renamed Tri-County Mall.

McAlpin’s became the fourth anchor in the early 1990s, when the mall added a second level of retail stores.

Now, the 1.3 million square-foot mall could return to an open-air retail center, as one option.

“The mall, since about 2005, with the recession, lost

tenants and the owners gave rent concessions, though operating expenses continued to grow,” Tulloch said of a possible contributor to the demise of the mall owned by Coventry Realty Advisers.

“Tri-County Mall’s time has come,” Tulloch said, “and I hope the new owner will see the strength and be willing to reinvest.”

Graffiti cleanup sends message of service

WMS students help paint boulevard

Members of Wyoming Middle School’s student council are ending the academic year with a community project to thank local residents for their

About a dozen students gathered May 15 at the boulevard, which runs parallel to Burns Avenue. It’s a path often used by students who walk to and from the school.

Graffiti covered a portion of the fencing along the sidewalk, and the students covered it with red paint. They also pulled weeds and cleaned

Memorial Day is a time to give thanks to those who have fought in war.

It’s a day to remember all those people who died for our country.

It’s even a day that resembles a taco, a shell with meat and cheese, but inside there is much more.

That’s how three students summed up the patriotic holiday that will bring community members to their local memorials on May 27.

The essay contest, sponsored by the Sharonville VFW Ladies Auxiliary, brought a prize of $25 and a chance to read their essays before City Council and again during the city’s Memorial Day celebration at Patriot Pointe.

The projects included a December fundraiser for a local

family in need, in which nearly $2,000 was collected.

This enabled the school to provide holiday gifts and meals for the family and provided additional money that can be used next year if there is another family in need.

In January, Student Council paired with Make It Happen, raising $971. A third fundraiser, Pennies for Patients, raised more than $3,000 for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.

“As the WMS Student Council reflected on their success this year, they decided that they wanted to give back to the community to say thank you for their generosity,” Hayner said.

“The students decided that they would show their appreciation by painting over the graffiti found on the boulevard that runs through the community.”

The group also pulled weeds and cleaned up debris.

ming,” Student Council President Emily Boster said.

“We wanted to cover up the graffiti and make it better than it was before,” Student Council Vice President Charlie Donnelly said. “It’s a more pleasant way to walk to and from school.”

“I think it is really important for kids to learn about service learning at this age,” Hayner said.

“Hopefully if they start community service in middle school or even

earlier, it will become something they want to do in their everyday lives.

Hayner said she’s impressed with the students.

“It shows that they are leaders among their peers and I think they set a good example for those around them.

“I think this was the perfect project to end our year together.”

Sunderman, of Sharonville Elementary wrote. “Memorial Day is like a taco.

“It just looks like a shell with meat and cheese, but if you look inside, there is much more than just meat and cheese.

“Memorial Day is a day to thank and remember veterans and soldiers for their work,” he wrote. “It is also a day to remember the people who have died from World War I and all the other wars for us.

“I think Memorial Day is a time to give thanks to your loved ones, or those who have fought in war, that were in the Marines, U.S. Army, Air Force, or in the U.S. Navy,” Madelyn Meder of St. Michael’s School wrote. “My dad is a veteran and I will always remember that.

“My dad was in the Marines for six years and loved it,” she wrote. “He loved it then and loves it now. “‘Once a Marine always a Marine,’ my father says.”

Lopex, of Sharonville Elementary, wrote. “A day to thank the people who kept us safe.

“For me, it’s a day to salute America and c elaborate the freedom these people are giving us.

“A day to say ‘Hey America, there is people out there giving their lives for us, not because they have to, but because they want to.

“So let’s put up our American flags, and say “Thank you for all you’ve done for us.”

Annette Armacost, president of the Sharonville VFW Ladies Auxiliary, presented the awards

to Madelyn and Will. Yoselin was unable to attend the City Council meeting on May 14.

“I was impressed that a lot of kids think Memorial Day is a day the swimming pool opens, and they have picnics.

“For me, Memorial Day was a parade with my dad, a World War II veteran,” Armacost said. “I knew the value of patriotism.

“It’s important to instill it in these kids now,” she said. “I think they captured that.”

It’s the challenge that intrigues him.

“You have to be patient, and they move so fast,” he said. “There is some luck involved, but you have to be in the right place at the right time.”

His photos aren’t just about taking a picture of an unusual, beautiful, large or small bird in its natural habitat.

He strives to capture the bird’s personality.

“It’s the eyes,” Simpson said. “If you take the photo when they’re looking at you, you can capture the personality.”

The collection includes a photo of a white egret, poised as if in thought, on a branch.

Another, of a jewel-colored bird at Butterfly World in Florida, went unidentified, but intrigued Simpson with its coloring and the way it hopped around the branches.

“It was very small and would not stay still for me so I kept firing away until I got something worthwhile,” he said. “It was very cool to watch as it

flitted around.”

A trio of turtles was found sunning themselves on a fallen log in Florida.

“One would climb up on the log,” Simpson said.

“Then the next would come out of the water and the first one would move up. Then the third.”

Shots like that require patience he said, and a little bit of luck to be in the right place at the right time.

Simpson’s prints, which are also for sale, can be viewed at the Westheimer Gallery on Wednesdays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5

The farm is also a popular site for school field trips. About 2,800 students visited the farm last year on a school field trip.

While field trips bring in students and helps get the farm’s name out, Schuermann said bringing more students in is a “doubleedged sword” — while they want to bring more students in, there’s not enough classroom space.

That can limit the Gorman farm in its advertising. Schuermann said to hopefully encourage more people to sign up for memberships, they had a drive through April 15, where a pass is $40 per year. This was a drop from the normal $50, and those with a Gorman membership are also able to visit Association of Nature Center Administrators, or ANCA, nature centers for free across the country.

The focus isn’t just to raise membership levels, though. Schuermann said she hopes to bring in visitors who stop in to explore the grounds, then potentially consider joining or volunteering.

“We hope we have

use for their various cooking classes. Although the farm didn’t receive the major grant last year, Schuermann said they’ve reapplied for this year’s award.

Gorman Heritage Farm finds ways to save costs in its $507,000 budget for 2013 and each year.

Volunteer labor saves the farm thousands of dollars each year, which will come in handy especially this year, when about $54,000 worth of improvements and repairs will be made on the historic buildings.

In August of last year, those buildings helped the farm become eligible to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Schuermann said it’s that history and ties to the area that give it the charm that many people come to the farm for.

Grandparents can bring their grandchildren and talk about life in the past, children can learn about agriculture and can see the farm animals. “(Visiting) is a step back in time for a lot of people,” she said.

more visitors that just come in, take a walk and get familiar,” she said. “...

We want people who come to have a positive experience.”

To keep Gorman Heritage Farm running, funding and volunteers are vital to that success. Although the village of Evendale owns the land the farm is on and designates about $300,000 annually for it, the other half of the budget is made up of funding from other sources. Schuermann said that in March alone, she’s submitted grant applications for about $250,000. She said they’ve also created a corporate partners program, where companies sponsor some of the programs the farm offers.

“As a non-profit, you always have to be raising money,” she said.

Last year, the farm was a finalist for the Impact 100 grant, which, if won, would resulted in a donation from the organization for more than $100,000.

Those funds were earmarked for plans to build additional class space and a commercial kitchen to

Princeton music program earns national nod

The Princeton High School Symphonic Orchestra. PROVIDED

By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Princeton City Schools has received an award that sings the praises of the district’s music program.

“Music education is a key component to the Princeton Advantage,” orchestra director Trista Emmons said. “The NAMM Foundation has recognized the district’s commitment to quality music education for every child by designating Princeton as one of the nation’s ‘Best Communities for Music Education.’”

NAMM, or National Association of Music Merchants, chose 307 school districts across the country based on surveys about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and other relevant factors to the community’s music education program.

Data are analyzed statistically and verified through a follow-up audit.

Princeton Associate Superintendent Amy Crouse noted the district’s community strength.

“The reason Princeton is one of the best communities for music education is that the community is part of the success,” Crouse said.

Sixth-grade orchestra students demonstrate sight-reading skills, a benchmark for instrumental performance students at Princeton Community Middle School. THANKS TO TRISTA EMMONS

“Our music families stay connected to the program long past the graduation of their children.

“Our musicians perform regularly throughout the area and attract audiences of community members that are not otherwise connected to the school,” she said. “It’s the music programs that draw the

new families into the school, providing the opportunity to build lasting relationships between the school and family.”

Music education starts in kindergarten, with a standards-based curriculum throughout elementary school.

Middle school provides an opportunity to learn instru-

mental music, with participation of more than 50 percent of sixth-grade students in band, orchestra, choral or jazz performance ensembles.

High school opportunities include marching band, three concert bands, two orchestras, four choirs and two jazz ensembles. Extracurricular options include pep band and chamber orchestra.

In addition, non-performance music classes in middle school and high school include general music, piano lab, guitar and International Baccalaureate music.

“Even during these trying economic times, the Princeton Board of Education, recognizing the positive impact on students, continues to shield the performing arts from excessive cuts for as long as they can,” Crouse said.

Emmons has seen the effort and dedication pay off. “ Repeatedly, we’ve seen the impact music education has on student achievement and the equalizing force it is in a district with vast diversity,” she said. “It is one of our greatest assets, and one we must preserve for our kids.”

Wyoming students present waste project As part of National Engineers Week, seven students from the Wyoming Middle School, representing the Norway delegation to the Junior Ohio Model UN, presented their resolution and the supporting technical basis to the Cincinnati Post of the Society of American Military Engineers.

The students, along with their faculty sponsor, Nick Allen, spoke at the monthly SAME meeting Feb.19 in the J.W. Peck Federal Building in downtown Cincinnati. The students presented a resolution promoting pyrolysis as a viable method of reducing municipal waste, as well as a process for producing energy from the waste while

recovering valuable materials.

Allen provided a synopsis of the Model UN program, explaining that the students would participate in a threeday conference in March in Columbus, where they would simulate a session from the actual United Nations. The participants prepare for months in order to represent a member nation of the UN. They explore the culture of that nation and research global issues that are affecting that nation. In Columbus, the participants present and defend a resolution that they have prepared and debate other global issues. For more information on the Ohio Model UN, see www.ohioleader.com.

The Society of American

Military Engineers is a professional society that promotes national security through an enhanced relationship between the private sector engineers and related professionals and the public sector. As part of this mission, SAME supports Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) outreach in the schools.

For more information on SAME, see www.SAME.org To see the PowerPoint presentation prepared by the Wyoming Middle School students, go to http://bit.ly/13zj1vi.

May days competitive at Wyoming for Cowboys lacrosse teams

By Scott Springer

sspringer@communitypress.com

WYOMING — Bob Lewis Stadium has been graced with competitive lacrosse this spring as both boys and girls programs at Wyoming enjoyed success The Wyoming girls sported their first-ever winning record.

Coach Kristen Gilwee’s girls finished the regular season at 12-3 and won a memorable tournament game against Bishop Hartley on May 13.

“We were down 8-5 with about 13 minutes left and were able to come back and win by three,” Gilwee said. “Six unanswered goals is pretty awesome.”

That moved the Cowboys to a game against Indian Hill, whom they had previously defeated.

Unfortunately, the Wyoming season came to a close against the Lady Braves with a10-7 loss.

This year’s win total doubled any previous high by Wyoming and was accomplished with just two seniors - captains M.J. Fischer and Carly Levick.

“I think we’ve come a long way since last year,” Gilwee said. “We changed the mentality of the team and they know they have the potential to have a winning record. The girls are starting to realize they can do a lot more if they put their mind to it.

I’m very proud.”

Wyoming’s regular season

losses were to established programs like Summit Country Day, Cincinnati Country Day and Anderson. They lost that trio of games by a combined six goals.

“We lost, but played our heart out and they could have gone either way,” Gilwee said.

For the future, freshman Haley Stewart and Reilly Simmons were key players this season and among the nine high school newcomers on the roster.

Sophomore Addie Smith will be another player to watch.

“She has an opportunity to go really far,” Gilwee said. “She can play high DI lacrosse if she

The only downside of the season is Gilwee will move shortly after getting married. Whomever takes over, inherits a pretty solid cast.

Wyoming’s boys coached by Keith Hughes started the season off sluggish by losing the first five games.

“We had a lot of injuries at the beginning,” Hughes said. “It’s a young team with a lot of freshmen starting. We started getting guys back and started to play better.”

The return of players like John Hughes, James McAlister and Nicholas Robles helped the Cowboys reel off sevenstraight wins.

“I think we’re as healthy as we’ve been all year and playing as well as we have,” Hughes said prior to the tournament draw.

Like the girls team, the Cowboys were very young with just two seniors in Conner Hughes and Evan Rajbhandari. “(The) thing about Wyoming is it kind of comes in clusters,”

Hughes said. “Certain years you have more kids playing and other years you don’t.”

Accordingly, some of Wyoming’s players are youngsters with familiar last names for those that follow athletic activities along Pendery Avenue.

“Oliver Reinecke has really turned it up this year,” Hughes said. “He’s really fast and is kind of our MVP. Jack Crider’s probably our top freshman at attack and Cooper O’Gara is another good freshman.”

When emotion rules, we all lose There is no reason to excuse being highly emotional when heinous crimes are committed on children and athletic parents who are determined to set a good example.

I love children and they sense it. In just the last week I elicited a shy smile and a wave from a Muslim child and interacted with some cute boys who were sitting with their Sikh father. Race, religion or nationality are not important to me. I evaluate all people by their humanity. And, quite rightly or wrongly, I disrespect people for their lack of humanity or civility.

An important advance in my search for the understanding of humanity came when I enrolled in the humanities program at Xavier. Going to college at night while being involved in business for a living is true test of your interest, especially when you are middle-aged.

The comments of my friends and family not only heightened my enthusiasm, but proved hilarious. A better understanding of the lives, thoughts, philosophy, history, politics and entertainment of the past was the dawn of my serious evaluation. Sadly, we have not learned or changed.

Recent events clearly prove that.

Greed is a belittling term

that is used on opponents to enhance ones power and/or prestige. That has not changed.

While it is normally used about wealth, we should consider the other factors. Politics immediately comes to mind. As it was in the past, it is still true.

The sad event in Boston will likely be politicized for political purposes. It will only take time for another election to see that happen. The political uproar over the mishandling of Benghazi proves my point. If we don’t reclaim our humanity, we will simply become another failed society in future history books.

CH@TROOM May 15 question Should Ohio’s legislature pass a right-to-work law? Why or why not?

“Yes, Ohio should be a right to work state as it already is in at least one school district I used to work for.

“My current employer offered me a job at $4.50 an hour, plus tips, plus excellent benefits to which I graciuosly accepted their offer without the union’s involvement.

Now the union wants to come into my place of employment and cannot guarantee anything to which I don’t already have, but if they are successful in infiltrating then I have no choice but to join and fork over a portion of my check for dues.

“This choice should be mine to make if I want to join as well as other hard working people who choose to perform and have timely attendance instead of having to be protected because they are lazy or dont want to show up.

If public sector employees, such as the classified employees of Finneytown School District, have the choice of not belonging to the union, then private sector employees should have the same choice?”

“’Right to work’ is the pseudonym for right to impede – unions.

“Those who say ‘who cares, I’m not in union,’ do not realize that every ‘right’ employees possess has been vigorously fought. The 10hour work day, the six-day work week followed by the five-day week, overtime, safety issues, workers comp, paid vacation time, health care benefits, plain old better wages – all were fought for and won, by unions. Sometimes fought to the death, literally, of striking workers.

“It may surprise some that most so-called employee rights can be rescinded at will by employers. Those that cannot, because of law? Well, those laws were and are being fought.

“A current example is health care insurance, which

by the will of the American public (no national health care!) is financially the foundation of our health care system. Guess what? It can be withdrawn. A law (Obama Care), to require it is being bitterly fought.

“Unions brought health care benefits into existence, just like the other above mentioned items. Right to work, meaning the right not to join a union in a union business, is indeed a right individuals might want to use. It is not in their best interests to exercise that right.

“Unions overstepping?

Can and should be addressed.

Right here we are talking about business overstepping.”

F.N.

“Absolutely! We are at a big disadvantage to most states in the South and now to Indiana and Michigan. That loud sucking sound that you hear is the sound of all those Ohio jobs going south, west, and north.

“Where are the Republican office-holders on this?

Where is there backbone? It was for issues like right-towork that they were elected and now you can’t find them with a search party.”

T.H.

“I think Ohio needs to make sure they can get the labor market down so that everyone not in a white collar job is considered an at-will employee and can be let go or fired at anytime with no protection of a union or access to affordable legal counsel.

“This protects the business owners, helps the shareholders and will ensure a supply of cheap labor. If a worker feels they’re being treated too harshly or the conditions aren’t good, then as an owner I can just get rid

of that bad seed and quickly bring in a replacement.

“Labor isn’t scarce, but there is always room for maximizing profits and breaking up unions is one way to ensure that profits can be maximized and wages kept very low.”

I.P.

“Odd how we citizens seem to think that these folks we elected should pass so many hundreds of laws ... it’s just nuts how intrusive government (which is necessary) has become.

“Seems like our American society swings back and forth every 40 years or so, though. I bet our America becomes much more libertarian over the next 10 years, as times do change, and this right-to-work stuff looks very much like a good place to start.”

K.P.

“If I am correct in my thinking, ‘right to work’ laws forbid companies from forcing employees to join a union in order to get a job. If Ohio workers do not have that protection then yes, we need such a law.”

R.V.

“Absolutely. Individuals should have the freedom to work for whatever rate their skills can demand without being forced to join a union or give them dues. This is especially the case where union leadership gives the dues to political entities that the employee doesn’t support.”

P.C.

“Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes. This is not SB 5.

This is not an attack on the unions. This is simply giving people the choice of whether or not they want to belong to a union.”

CAR

SHOW

By Kelly McBride kmcbride@communitypress.com

Car owners were vigilant, drying their classics between bursts of rain, but visitors to Sharonville’s 36th annual Classic Car Show simply popped open their umbrellas, not to be deterred.

The show brought about 325 cars to downtown Sharonville, where they were arranged in several categories.

“Weather certainly had some effect on the attendance, but many realized it would be intermittent showers, and were anxious to show their cars,” Sharonville Chamber President Rich Arnold said, adding that good weather typically brings about 500 cars.

Brad Franks of Liberty Township showed his 1956 Chevy 210.

The Sharonville show marked a first for the 57-yearold car.

“This is the first time it’s ever been wet,” Franks said of the customized vehicle. “This is the first time the windshield wipers have ever been used.”

Marc Alexander was also busy drying off his two classic cars.

His 1929 Chrysler DeSoto is one of only six in existence, he said.

The Colerain Township man said his wife named the car Chitty, after the movie “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.”

He also showed a 1970 Plymouth GTX 440 Super Commando, one of only 11 ever produced, Alexander said.

Cars ranged from 1929 models to 2013 versions, in styles that included Camaro, Firebird, Mustang, Corvette, Mopar, Miata, trucks, hot rods, foreign cars and motorcycles, among others.

“As we As we got near noon and the threat of rain was vanishing, the crowds of people (families viewing the cars) coming to the show swelled. The hoods of the cars were proudly raised as they invited the crowds to look at the cars which lined the streets all over downtown Sharonville. The food vendors selling metts, brats, pizza, goetta sliders, gumbo, beverages, etc. were busy all day. All in all, everyone had a fun and exciting day. The smile on the faces of the winners in each of the 18 classes help make the day a success.”

‘Restaurant’ column with two cloned recipes Talk about multi-tasking. I was writing this column when my husband, Frank, called out from the garden to inspect the rows of corn.

“It’s coming up spotty,” he said, and blamed the robins for plucking Rita seedlings Heikenfeld out of the RITA’S KITCHEN ground.

While I was out, I decided to pot up some of Mom’s peppermint to plant around her and my Dad’s graves for Memorial Day. Then I went back in to finish my column. Ten minutes later I got called out again, this time to plant another row of potatoes. So it has been one busy morning.

I’m not complaining because I know the little bit of planting we’re doing now will morph into an abundant harvest.

Today’s column could be called “the restaurant issue,” since the recipes shared are from famous eateries.

rant in Kentucky. “So close you won’t be able to tell the difference,” she said.

Christine V. is just the latest of readers who continue to request the recipe, so I finally made it myself. After tasting it, I wondered why I waited so long! I made a few changes dependent upon what ingredients I had.

Those are in parentheses.

You choose which ingredients appeal to you.

Don’t be put off by the list of instructions, the cake comes together easily and would be perfect to tote to that Memorial Day picnic. Because it’s baked in a jelly roll pan, it isn’t a real high riser, and is very moist.

The browned butter icing elevates it into the kind of cake that begs for “one more bite.”

How many does it serve? I got 16 servings and could have gotten more.

Cake Whisk together and set aside:

Bring to boil:

A few years ago, a Western Hills reader shared her version for this customer favorite from Knotty Pine Restau-

Then beat in: 2 large eggs ⁄2 cup sour cream (plus 1 teaspoon vanilla) 1 teaspoon baking soda 1

Batter will be thin.

Pour into sprayed jellyroll pan and bake in preheated 400 degree oven 20 minutes.

Icing: Boil until golden: 11⁄2 sticks butter (I used unsalted)

2 cups sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt

Opera cream cake “like” Knotty Pine on the Bayou

This reader-submitted recipe for opera cream cake tastes just like the cake at Knotty Pine on the Bayou. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD.

2 sticks margarine (I used unsalted butter) 1 cup water 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Cool, then add sugar, flour and salt mixture, and blend well.

This is what I call browned butter: Cook in pan over medium heat until butter boils and begins to turn golden. It will foam up a bit. Be careful as it can burn easily. It’s done when butter turns tan color and you see specks of light golden brown on bottom.

Kayla Dunlap’s Carrabba’s dipping oil/sauce

This takes a few minutes.

Remove from heat right away, stir browned bits in and pour into bowl to cool.

To cooled browned butter, add and beat until fluffy (it will look lumpy at first):

Kayla, a Fort Thomas reader, shares a good recipe for this dipping oil. She said: “Bonnie asked for help finding a recipe similar to Carrabba’s. Here’s one I have used.”

1 pound powdered sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla 6-8 tablespoons whipping cream (I used evaporated milk)

1 tablespoon minced basil 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (Italian is best) 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 ⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1⁄2 teaspoon ground sea salt 1 ⁄2 teaspoon chopped rosemary 1 ⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Spread on cooled cake right in pan. Store in refrigerator.

Tip from Rita’s Kitchen

A jelly roll pan (about 10 inches by 15 inches) is bigger than a cookie sheet and has sides.

D E S U Y T I L A U D Q E C I R CARS P HT! RIG

⁄2 teaspoon olive oil (Plus additional 3-4 tablespoons) 1 ⁄8 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1

Combine all of the ingredients, except oil and lemon. Put in a small food processor. Chop briefly until all ingredients are about the same.

Stir in oil and lemon juice. To serve: Combine about 11⁄2 teaspoons spice blend to 3 to 4 tablespoons additional olive oil on a small dish.

Public gets Free TV with no monthly bills

Federal law makes TV network giants broadcast Free TV signals regionally in crystal clear digital picture in all 50 states allowing U.S. households to pull in Free TV with a sleek $49 micro antenna device engineered to pull in nothing but Free TV channels with no cable, satellite or internet connection and no monthly bills

Who Gets Free TV: Listed below are the Cincinnati area zip codes that can get Free over the air TV channels. If you find the first two digits of your zip code immediately call: 1-888-752-7147 OHIO - Today’s announcement by CompTek has the Free TV Hotlines ringing off the hook.

That’s because Cincinnati area residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication are getting Free TV channels thanks to an amazing razor-thin invention called Clear-Cast™.

Cincinnati area residents who call the Toll Free Hotlines before the 48-hour order deadline to get Clear-Cast can pull in Free TV channels with crystal clear digital picture and no monthly bills.

This announcement is being so widely advertised because a U.S. Federal law makes TV broadcasters transmit their signals in digital format, which allows everyone to receive these over-theair digital signals for free with no monthly bills.

Here’s how it works. Clear-Cast, the sleek micro antenna device with advanced technology links up directly to pull in the Free TV signals being broadcast in your area with crystal clear digital picture and no monthly bills.

Clear-Cast was invented by a renowned NASA Space Technology Hall of Fame scientist who currently holds 23 U.S. Gov’t issued patents. For the past 20 years, he has specialized in developing antenna systems for NASA, Motorola, XM Satellite Radio and companies around the world.

His latest patent-pending invention, ClearCast, is a sleek micro antenna device engineered to pull in the Free TV signals through advanced technology with no cable, satellite or internet connection and no monthly bills.

“Clear-Cast is being released to the general public because we just don’t think people should keep paying for TV when they can get it for free,” said Conrad Miller, Manager of Operations at CompTek. “There’s never a monthly bill to pay and all the channels you get with Clear-Cast are absolutely free. So you see, Clear-Cast is not like cable or satellite. It was engineered to access solely the over-the-air signals that include all the top rated national and regional networks, like ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, CW and about 90% of the most watched TV shows like America’s Got Talent, NCIS, 60 Minutes, American Idol, The Big Bang Theory, The Bachelorette, Person of Interest, CSI, The Mentalist, Two and a Half Men, Sunday Night Football plus news, weather and more all for free with no monthly bills,” Miller said.

“That’s why Clear-Cast is such a great alternative for everyone who is sick and tired of paying expensive cable and satellite bills every month,” he said.

“People who get Clear-Cast will say it feels like getting an extra paycheck every month. You see, with Clear-Cast you’ll receive free over-the-air broadcast channels with crystal clear digital picture, not the cable or satellite only channels. So being able to eliminate those channels puts all the money you were spending back in your pocket every month,” Miller said.

And here’s the best part. The sleek micro antenna device called Clear-Cast is so technically advanced it pulls in even more of the channels being broadcast in your area for Free with no monthly bills.

That way you can channel surf through the favorite TV shows. The number of shows and channels you’ll get depends on where you live.

People living in large metropolitan areas may get up to 53 static-free channels, while people in outlying areas will get less. That means even if you’re in a rural area that just pulls in NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and PBS broadcasts there’s hundreds of shows each year to watch for free.

Consumers report that the crystal clear picture quality with Clear-Cast is the best they’ve ever seen. That’s because you get virtually all pure uncompressed signals direct from the broadcasters for free.

Clear-Cast was engineered to link up directly like a huge outdoor directional antenna but in a lightweight, slim-line package. Its sturdy copper alloy and polymer construction will most likely far outlast your TV. It just couldn’t be any easier to get Free overthe-air digital TV shows with Clear-Cast. Simply plug it into your TV, place Clear-Cast on a window pane and run autoscan. It works on virtually any model TV and is easily hidden out of sight behind a curtain or window treatment.

Thousands of Cincinnati area residents are expected to call to get Clear-Cast because it just doesn’t make any sense to keep paying for TV when you can get hundreds of shows absolutely free.

So, Cincinnati area residents lucky enough to find their zip code listed in today’s publication need to immediately call the Free TV Hotline before the 48-hour deadline to get Clear-Cast that pulls in Free TV with crystal clear digital picture. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. !

How to get Free TV: Listed below are the Cincinnati area zip codes that can get Free TV channels with no monthly bills. If you find the first two digits of your zip code immediately call 1-888-752-7147 beginning at precisely 8:30am this morning. Today’s announcement photo above shows just a handful of the major over-the-air broadcast networks you can receive with Clear-Cast for free. It saves a ton of money by not picking up expensive cable only channels like ESPN so there’s never a monthly bill. This is all possible because a U.S. Federal Law makes TV broadcasters transmit their signals in digital format, which allows everyone to use Clear-Cast to pull in Free TV channels with no monthly bills. CompTek is giving every U.S. household a 50% off discount to help cover the cost of Clear-Cast.

A close look at that letter shows it’s not from a real debt collector. Under federal law debt collectors must use specific language in these letters saying, “This is an attempt to collect a debt.”

In addition, they must state you have 30 days to send a written statement disputing the debt. That language wasn’t in the letter send to Brondhaver.

“Luckily there was no money sent, but my concerns are people that will. These guys are very, very dramatic. Everybody in the office is very dramatic.

They say, ‘You’ve got to do this now, or else’,” Brondhaver said.

A U.S. Bank spokeswoman tells me the bank doesn’t know anything about Martin and Associates, adding this firm was not hired by the bank to collect its debts.

So I called Martin and Associates and asked who they are working for, but they wouldn’t answer that.

There are lots of complaints about this company on the Internet. All say the company claims to be collecting on behalf of U.S. Bank. The Federal Trade Commission says you should never confirm or give a caller your personal or financial information.

Brondhaver has reported this incident to the Ohio Attorney General.

Teens celebrate Israeli independence On April 16, about 100 teens – from various youth groups, congregations and schools throughout the community – gathered to celebrate Israel Independence Day (Yom HaAtzmaut) with a picnic and party at the Mayerson JCC. Along with the Chaverim m’Israel (Friends

from Israel), Tomer Flischer and Mor Ninio, they enjoyed a traditional “mangal” cookout with Israeli activities, games, music and sports.

The event also gave students who will travel to Israel this summer a chance to connect with those who did so last summer and who then participated in

Do You Have Ulcerative Colitis?

Is it hard to control your symptoms using your current medication?

What

This study will evaluate whether the study medication, budesonide MMX®, is safe and effective in people with ulcerative colitis that is not well controlled using anti-inflammatory medications known as 5-aminosalicylic acids (5ASAs). Budesonide MMX®, is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This study is looking to see whether budesonide MMX® (given by mouth as tablet) and 5-ASA medication used together can better control the symptoms of ulcerative colitis.

Who

Adults 18-75 years old who have been diagnosed with mild or moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) and continue to have symptoms even when taking a 5-ASA medication (such as Asacol® and Lialda®) to treat UC.

Pay

Participants will be compensated for time and travel. All medication will be provided at no cost to participants.

Travel Grant recipients, along with Yair Cohen, Tomer Flischer, Mor Ninio, Sharon Spiegel and Jewish Foundation Executive Director Brian Jaffee. PROVIDED

the first year of Israel HERE, a pre- and post-trip enrichment program for recipients of Israel Travel Grants funded by The Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati.

Through Israel HERE, students process their experiences in Israel, strengthen their personal Jewish identity and explore and expand their relationships with the local Jewish community.

The program grew out of a desire to maximize the value of the Foundation’s investment in the community by increasing recipients’ engagement and thereby encouraging them to eventually become the next generation of leaders and philanthropists.

Sam Levitt and Elise Spiegel, Israel HERE “graduates,” spoke at the Independence Day celebration about their experiences in Israel.

Levitt lives in Sycamore Township and attends Sycamore High School.

Spiegel lives in Madeira and attends Indian Hill High School.

Levitt traveled to Israel on a two-month Alexander Muss High School trip.

He said, “I had the most amazing experience on this program. I really fell in love with Israel and came to the conclusion that I would give my life for the country. I gained a newfound sense of nationalism and pride for the state of Israel and the Jewish people…I truly discovered how important it is for all of us to remain strong and stay together because of all that we have suffered and, quite possibly, will suffer.”

Levitt continued, “I am so happy the Foundation gave me this opportunity to travel to Israel and so grateful, because I will remember this for the rest of my life. I would highly encourage any teen to take advantage of the very generous opportunity we have in Cincinnati to travel to Israel.”

Since 2000, more than 1,400 Jewish young people from Cincinnati have traveled to Israel to develop stronger, more personal connections with Israel and their Jewish heritage.

Cincinnati holds the distinction of sending more Jewish youth, per capita, on these Israel programs than any other Jewish community in North America.

“During my trip to Israel, I connected not only with my Jewish identity more, but with my identity as a whole,” said Elise Spiegel, who traveled to Israel on the Jewish Federation’s JQuest trip. “The fact that I was even given a chance to go means a lot to me, and there are no words to thank the Foundation except for ‘thank you.’”

This is the first year for Israel HERE, but, going forward, it will be an ongoing component of the Foundation’s Israel Travel Grant Program. In order to make sure future grant recipients will get the

most out of their trips, they will all be expected to contribute 25 hours of community service to the Jewish community and attend two pre-trip and six post-trip sessions.

Community Shaliach (emissary from Israel) Yair Cohen, who co-developed the Israel HERE program with Sharon Spiegel, Director of Youth Israel Experiences at the Jewish Federation, said, “This is just as important as the trip to Israel itself. It is a way for participants to invest the passion and understanding they gained in Israel back into their own community. It’s a musthave component of any travel to Israel.”

“The Israel HERE initiative is a supremely important program,” said Dr. Gary P. Zola, executive director of The Jacob Marcus Rader Center of the American Jewish Archives, who led the participants on a bus tour of Jewish Cincinnati in December.

Counseling can be life changing

May is Mental Health Awareness Month Each May the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reminds Americans that, when faced with life’s inevitable difficulties, help is available.

Talking to a counselor can be life changing. Delaying or failing to do so can have serious consequences.

Carthage resident Pat Jones is an example of counseling’s healing powers. He sought counseling at Catholic Charities of Southwestern Ohio, an agency of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, after

losing his will to live. He was already feeling depressed when two of his siblings died unexpectedly. Then he was diagnosed with a debilitating neurological disorder.

“I knew I better talk to someone before it got too far,” he said.

Jones Now, almost every Friday, Jones meets with Sharon Sowders at Catholic Charities’ Montgomery office. Counseling is also available in Delhi, Eastgate, Hamil-

ton, Springfield, Urbana and downtown Cincinnati.

“Sharon is a great listener,” Jones said.

“I talk to her about things I can’t talk to my friends about.”

Sowders and her colleagues, all licensed by the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board, counsel clients with a variety of problems. They include anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, parenting issues, ADHD, childhood sexual

abuse, substance abuse and low self-esteem.

“Our overall goals,” she said, “are to help reduce their symptoms, improve their coping skills, and improve their functioning in their daily lives.”

Although reluctant at first, Jones now is a believer in counseling’s ability to heal. He readily admits that counseling relieves his symptoms of depression and helps him cope with his disability.

“Sharon kept nudging me to stay active outside of work,” Jones said. He began attending weekly presentations at University of Cincinnati Blue

Ash about a topic he loves – classic movies of the ’30s and ’40s. Today, Pat moderates these presentations, sharing his knowledge with likeminded movie enthusiasts.

“I really enjoy it,” he said.

Counseling is generally recommended for individuals, couples, or families if: » their symptoms cause significant distress; » their problems are affecting major areas of their life, or » their problems are putting them at risk of divorce, job loss, school ex-

pulsion or other potential losses.

If you or a loved one thinks counseling may be helpful, make an appointment with a licensed professional counselor.

Counseling is covered by Medicaid and many private insurance plans.

Through funding from United Way, Catholic Charities offers a sliding fee scale for non-insured clients. Spanish-speaking counselors, and in-home services for older adults and disabled individuals are available.
