BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Evendale adds 2 new members to council By Leah Fightmaster lfightmaster@communitypress.com
All four Evendale village council candidates – Richard Finan, Doug Lohmeier, Bill Puthoff and Chris Schaefer – greeted voters as they walked into the village’s only polling palce at the recreation center, 10500 Reading Road, last Tuesday. By mid-morning, about 10 percent of the village’s voters had cast ballots.
Finan
Schaefer
Resident Megan Marquardt said she voted because she wanted to make her opinions on council members and county is-
sues heard in the ballot box. “People have to vote, it’s their civic duty,” she said. “If you don’t vote, you can’t complain about the results.” Kevin Donovan echoed that sentiment, saying that it’s an honor to be able to vote. “I feel that one vote can make a difference,” he said. “Men and women fought and died for the right to vote.” Donovan added that he voted for the more fiscally responsi-
ble candidates, as well as ones who wanted to improve the quality of life in Evendale. Former council member, mayor and state-level legislator Richard Finan grabbed the highest number of votes at 808. Incumbent Chris Schaefer was next with 760, and challenger Bill Puthoff snagged the last open seat with 590 votes, according to the Hamilton County Board of Elections’ unofficial results.
Current council member Doug Lohmeier wasn’t re-elected, receiving 420 votes, according to the unoffical final results. Council members will be sworn in at 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 2, in the council chambers at the municipal building, said Jack Cameron, administrative assistant to the mayor.

Elves will sing Christmas carols, and Santa will make an appearance to greet visitors, who are invited to wear their pajamas. Tickets cost $17 per person
and the train is scheduled to depart seven times between10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. They can be ordered through www.kindervelt.org or by calling 588-0074. Money raised through the North Pole Express will benefit the Cincinnati Children’s Heart Institute – Kindervelt Neurodevelopmental, Educational and Learning Center. The center treats children with heart issues throughout their whole lives, instead of the typical span of three years. Its main focus is a collaborative effort of cardiologists and other professionals to help children with heart-related issues develop to their full potential, as a whole-child approach.

dents of Wyoming. What programs and services does the annual fund benefit? “Contributions from Wyoming residents fund all of our programs and services, including individual and family counseling, crisis intervention, tutoring, school break. and after-school programs where students can do their homework in a safe and supportive environment. These programs and services touched the lives of more than 800 Wyoming children and families in the last year.” Why are these programs vital to the Wyoming community? “Wyoming is unique in having a youth services organization. Although there are programs in communities across the nation that offer counseling or after school programs, our research to date has found no other organizations that provide the full scope of services offered by WYS – from counseling to service learning to academic support and prevention – to meet the needs of the whole child. “Without WYS, sixth-grade students would not receive life skills education; we would have no central body for prevention work and community forums to help parents keep children safe; middle school students would not be able to participate in service opportunities; there would be no local resource for free family, individual and group counseling on topics including parent education, separation and divorce, anxiety, social skills and self esteem. Students would not have the opportunity to engage in meaningful programming after school and during school breaks.” Why is the annual fund important to Wyoming Youth Services? “The success of the Annual Appeal campaign is vital for our organization to continue to be able to offer our needed programs and services free of charge to all users. The demand for our unique services continues to grow, so the campaign needs to grow with the demand.” How does Wyoming Youth Services impact the quality of life in Wyoming? “The organization’s programs and services are available when needed, to all residents of Wyoming, and always without charge. Wyoming Youth Services’ unique array of programs and services ensures that each child in our community has the best opportunity to reach his or her full potential. From counseling to the children of divorcing parents, to representing children in the legal system, to providing volunteer and mentor opportunities, to our Alcohol Task Force, our organization provides the support and assistance children and families sometimes need to be successful. Taken together, these programs strengthen our community, making it a better place to live.”

Three join St. Gabriel staff
It’s a year of new beginnings and fresh starts at Saint Gabriel Consolidated School. The school has three new staff members at Saint Gabriel this year. Toni Hellmann has returned as the new fourth-grade math/ science teacher. Hellmann was a second-grade teacher who took time off to raise her children. Now that her two sons and two daughters, who range from eighth-grade to college ages, are flourishing, Hellmann is excited to be back.
“It’s like coming home, and I want my students to enjoy coming to school each day,” she said. “My goal is to help them be the best that they can be, academically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.” Nicki Brainard was named the principal of Saint Gabriel Consolidated School and officially began her duties Aug. 1. Brainard has worked in the Archdiocese her entire career and has 12 years of experience as an administrator with six of those as a
principal. Jessica Merkle, who is used to cheering on her kids at St. Gabe sporting events, is now getting to know students on a new level as the school’s full-time nurse. She has two children, seventh-grader Chase and fourth-grader Max, who are students at St. Gabriel. “I am so happy to get to know all the kids and make sure that they are safe and healthy at school,” Merkle said.
Go Math! at Sharonville Elementary
Sharonville Elementary is using differential instruction to reach all students in our diverse classrooms through GO Math! Students are being held accountable with high expectations for knowledge and discipline and demanding work in and outside of class. GO Math! is an elementary mathematics program that addresses three levels of instruction: strategic and intensive instruction, onlevel and advanced. First it engages the whole group; then small group practices with extra support on the three levels; then whole group summarization. The hands-on activities help to build a solid foundation, develop the fundamental understanding and higher order thinking.

Volunteers patch together church fundraiser Zipping along Springfield Pike in Wyoming, a lawn full of orange seemed to pop up at me from the yet green grass of Friendship United Methodist Church. Members Robyn Cramer and Pamela Kamm were helping Lauren Bennett and her mom, Jennifer,
with two good looking pumpkins to take home for Halloween. Lauren is a fifth-grader at Wyoming Middle School. Well, actually she attends classes in modular units while the middle school undergoes renovation. Jennifer said the transition to the mod-

ular units has surpassed expectations. Robyn and Pamela couldn’t have picked a better day to work their two-hour shift, and they thoroughly enjoyed helping the children make a selection from the sea of pumpkins that come from an Indian reservation in New Mexico. Just as Cinderella’s fairy godmother magically changed a pumpkin into a coach, so these ladies and the other volunteers brought magic to the imaginations of young ones who envisioned a jack-o-lantern glowing on Halloween night. This was the third pumpkin patch sale and it is a fundraiser for Friendship’s senior high youth group’s mission trip to Black Mesa, AZ, next July. Pamela and Robyn gave me Carrie Short-Lippert’s phone number to get all the information about this project that reflects Friendship’s effort to provide “A cooperative ministry and mission in the world.” It is one of the church’s many outreach concerns such as providing housing and meals for homeless families
though Interfaith Hospitality Network, the Valley InterEvelyn Perkins faith COMMUNITY PRESS Food & Clothing COLUMNIST Center Christmas Giving Tree and stepping in wherever natural disasters hit. A lot of work goes into the trip. Carrie began making plans this past August. Large groups have gone on previous trips; 90 people went four years ago. They are going to build and rehab houses, and install roofs at a Navaho reservation in Black Mesa. The trip lasts 10 days. Carrie says that length of time is great for bonding and team building. They leave from Chicago by Amtrak and go to Flagstaff, Arizona, then it is on to the Grand Canyon. She saw this magnificent wonder for the first time four years ago, and all she can say is, “Wow, it sure is aptly named! Photographs don’t do it justice.” Volunteers took shifts

minding the patch from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Carrie says that parents, students and the entire church work on this project and enjoy it as a community outreach. Adults came while the kids are in school, and the youth group managed it most of the time on weekends and after school. Carrie feels this is appropriate since it is their mission trip. She is so proud of them. Perhaps a half dozen of the freshmen, sophomores,
juniors and seniors had really taken ownership and worked very hard. Carrie treasures the fact that this endeavor builds community within the church and throughout Wyoming.

Thanksgiving meals for 300 families in need. The families, who signed up for the holiday baskets through Valley Interfaith Food and Clothing Center, will receive the donations Nov. 23. That’s when volunteers will gather to fill the baskets and deliver them throughout the 13 communities served by Valley Interfaith. The churches are asking for financial donations, to buy the food items for the baskets. They also need volunteers to help sort the food, fill the baskets, and deliver the donations to the families.

The Thanksgiving outreach began at the Presbyterian Church of Wyoming in 2010, when 75 families were served. The following year, St. James of the Valley, Northminster Presbyterian Church and Ascension and Holy Trinity Episcopal Church joined the effort, which had grown to
150 families. Last year, 180 families were served, with Wyoming Baptist and Friendship Methodist joining the interdenominational effort. This year, 300 families will receive Thanksgiving baskets. Members of the six churches, along with volunteers who sign up to help Nov. 23, will gather at St. James of the Valley, 411 Springfield Pike, beginning at 9 a.m. A donation of $50 covers the contents of a single basket, though Koesterman said any amount is appreciated.

Wyoming left at Alter in football playoffs By Scott Springer sspringer@communitypress.com
WYOMING — After seven straight wins, Wyoming High School’s football team dropped their first game since Sept. 12 with a loss in the playoffs to Kettering Alter Nov. 8 at Fairmont. Wyoming recovered a fumble on the opening kick-off of the Division IV playoff game and took the early lead 7-0 on a 52-yard pass from senior Will Marty to senior Dominic Vamosi. However, the Alter Knights came back to take a 21-7 late in the second quarter. Wyoming scored as time expired in the first half on a flea-flicker from junior Duke Brunke to Marty to make it 21-14 at intermission. From there, Alter scored on two possessions in the third quarter to go up 35-14. The Cowboys added a late touchdown by senior Terrell Dailey to make for the 35-21 final. Wyoming finishes the season at 8-3. After starting 1-2, they went on to finish 7-0 in the Cincinnati Hills League. In CHL play, the Cowboys outscored their opponents 356-71. They also set records for most points in the league and senior Will Marty broke the school record for passing yards and touchdown passes. Marty was the league’s top passer, Dailey was the thirdbest runner and Vamosi was the second-leading receiver. Defensively, senior Griffin O’Gara led the CHL in sacks and junior Parker Chalmers tied for the league lead in interceptions. Tommy Ruff led Alter with 75 yards and two touchdowns as the Knights ran for 360 yards on the night. Alter moves on to face Germantown Valley View.
Moeller/St. Xavier
In a game that could’ve filled some stadiums beyond the capacity of Lockland Memorial’s 6,000, Moeller started its 2013 run in the Division I playoffs with a 42-17 rout of St. Xavier. After taking a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, the Bombers
Quarterback Will Marty unleashes a pass behind the block of guard Eric Perry during Wyoming’s 35-21 first round playoff loss to Alter at Kettering’s Roush Stadium on Nov. 8. Marty threw one touchdown pass, to Dominic Vamosi, and caught one, from Duke Brunke. Terrell Dailey scored Wyoming's final touchdown. THANKS TO ROD APFELBECK

got within a touchdown at 21-14 at the half. However, the second half belonged to Moeller as they outscored St. Xavier 21-3 to win by 25. Senior Gus Ragland was Moeller’s top rusher with 157 yards and three touchdowns. Nearly half of those yards came on a 72-yard fourth-
quarter scamper. He also was 10-13 passing for 264 yards and two touchdowns to senior Isaiah Gentry. Ragland missed Moeller’s first win over St. Xavier back on Sept. 27 with an injury. Gentry had 229 yards receiving on five grabs with touchdowns of 55 and 81yards.
Moeller’s other touchdown was a Dean Meyer two-yard run in the fourth quarter. Also contributing in the victory was Sterling Noes who ran for 135 yards with a long of 75. Defensively, Ohio Statebound Sam Hubbard had two interceptions and Will Mercurio added another pick. The Crusaders outgained the Bombers 631-302. “I thought our kids battled hard in the first half,” St. X coach Steve Specht said. “The wheels kind of fell off… in the second (half). Turnovers killed us.” The Bombers went down 14-0 early after their first three possessions resulted in punts. They finally got on the board after Moeller quarterback Gus Ragland’s pass was deflected and ended up in the hands of Bomber free safety David Leisring, who returned it to the Crusader 26-yard line. Senior quarterback Nick Tensing scored from 1-yard out to make it 14-7 with 11:57 to play in the half. After another Moeller score, the Bombers answered with a 76-yard scoring drive that resulted in a Tensing 15yard touchdown pass to Peter Gavin. From that point on, the Bomber offense went numb, as Tensing tossed three second-half interceptions. The Bombers did not have the services of running back Ben Glines due to a knee injury, according to Specht, and managed 109 rushing yards on 28 attempts. Moeller piled up 631 total yards, while St. X finished with 302. St. X finishes the season 5-6, marking its first losing season since 2008 when they went 4-6 and missed the playoffs. Moeller is now 10-1 with their lone loss coming at Lakewood St. Edward on Oct. 26. Next up on Nov. 16 is the Elder Panthers. Elder defeated Northmont 16-7 to advance. Moeller won the regular season feature at The Pit 35-14 on Oct. 11.

Seniors Will Marty and Terrell Dailey had two rushing touchdowns apiece, while Marty hit senior Dominic Vamosi for a score. Freshman Andrew Marty had a touchdown pass to junior Duke Brunke and sophomore Justin Shields scooped up a fumble recovery and took it in. » Princeton High School won its week 10 home game 56-35 against Middletown Nov. 1.

Senior quarterback Tyrell Gilbert scored on runs of one, 60 and 63 yards. He also threw touchdown passes of 10, 13 and 37 yards to lead Princeton. » » Moeller won at Louisville Trinity 42-14 on Nov.1to finish the regular season at 9-1.

Jake Westerkamp and his St. Xavier High School water polo teammates were one half away from seeing their ultimate goal come to fruition. The Bombers led St. Charles Preparatory Academy out of Columbus 8-6 at halftime of the Ohio High School state title game, but were outscored 11-5 in the second half en route to a 17-13 loss Oct. 26 at Mason High School. Despite the loss, coach Mike Roberts isn’t focusing on what the Bombers didn’t accomplish; he wants everyone to know what his guys accomplished in just three years since establishing the program. “All we had this year was positives,” Roberts said. “… We beat every team in the state. We beat the team that won last year, we beat the team that won this year and that’s nothing but up for us. This is like the first rung of the ladder.” Roberts believes if it weren’t for Westerkamp, there wouldn’t even be a ladder to climb. As a “little skinny” sophomore, Westerkamp of Loveland started the first water polo match in St. X history and has started the 90plus games since.

“If he didn’t come out or chose to go to a different high school, I’m not sure we could have carried the program through some bumps in the road,” Roberts said of his senior captain. “He’s just been tremendous.” Westerkamp ended his career in style despite not bringing home a state title. He scored eight of the Bombers’ 13 goals against the Cardinals to earn himself a 2013 Ohio state AllTournament team honor. “Jake is like a coach’s dream,” Roberts said. “He’s a kid that’s not physically imposing, he’s not exceptionally strong, he’s not exceptionally fast, but he’s very aware. He plays as a good teammate. He’s smart, he’s wily, he’s a great leader and he’ll be
missed.” The Bombers (18-11-1) struggled all season long with the Cardinals going 1-4 versus the state champs. Their lone win came Oct. 6 at the Milford Invitational, knocking off the Cards 8-5. Three years ago St. Xavier didn’t have a water polo program, now they have three teams with 28 kids, including 14 who never touched a water polo ball prior to the beginning of the season. This year’s team includes boys from Loveland, Roselawn, Sharonville, Pleasant Ridge, Colerain Township, West Chester, Blue Ash, Middletown, Anderson Township, Hyde Park, Maineville, and Madeira.

Make sure we honor in our actions, not just our words On Veterans Day, we turn our attention to the friends, coworkers and family members who have proudly worn the uniform of the United States armed services. As President John F. Kennedy remarked in observance of this sacred holiday, “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” That is why I was proud to work in a bipartisan manner in the Ohio General Assembly to introduce legislation in 2009 to give Ohio veterans of the Persian Gulf, Iraq, and Afghanistan a cash bonus for their service to our country. And as a veteran myself, I was proud
to see the funding for it pass with the support of more than 72 percent of voters. However, those votes Connie just expressed Pillich COMMUNITY PRESS our gratitude. Now we must GUEST COLUMNIST show our appreciation by making sure every eligible veteran applies before the program’s deadline. Unfortunately, many are still unaware that this bonus is available to them. Veterans who served in the Persian Gulf conflict (Desert Shield and Desert Storm) from
Cancer support resources available Another breast cancer awareness month is behind us. It is amazing the strides that have been made in the early detection and treatment of the disease. But did you know that the excellent medical resources available for the treatment of cancer are only half the story? In October 2007, Rick the Bryan InCOMMUNITY PRESS stitute GUEST COLUMNIST of Medicine of the National Academies of Science published a report “Cancer Care for the Whole Patient” which recognized that the standard of care for people with cancer should include both excellent medical treatment and support for the psychological and social support (psychosocial) problems that accompany a diagnosis of cancer. The report states that “attention to patients’ psychosocial health needs is the exception rather than the rule in cancer care today.” Fortunately, in the greater Cincinnati region there are two organizations that provide exactly the services that are called for in the report – Cancer Family Care and Cancer Support Community. As the director of the Cancer Support Community I will talk about CSC services, but readers should know that both organizations are well equipped to provide psychosocial support services. Our two organizations collaborate, serve on many of the same committees, share staff and cross refer to the organization best equipped to meet an individual’s needs. A diagnosis of cancer can be physically, fi-
nancially and emotionally devastating. It is frequently accompanied by significant stress and feelings of loss of control, connection, and even hope. It not only impacts the person with the disease, but also their families, neighbors and co-workers. Help is available right in our community and all services are offered at no cost. Cancer Support Community is part of a national organization which has a 30year history of helping people reduce stress and improve quality of life from diagnosis, treatment and beyond to survivorship. Services are a complement to traditional medical care; not a substitute, which is why CSC has great working relationships with all area oncology services and hospitals. Among the free services are professionally facilitated support groups, networking groups, stress reduction programs (yoga, tai chi, guided imagery, education programs often featuring oncologists from local medical institutions, nutrition classes, and social opportunities where people affected by cancer can spend time with people similarly impacted in a safe and comfortable environment. People with cancer and their caregivers and can find the world class, evidence based emotional support the Institute of Medicine suggests, right here at home. Programs are offered in Blue Ash, Northern Kentucky and 10 other locations around the Tristate. All Cancer Support Community programs are offered free of charge. Please call us at 513-791-4060 or on line at http://bit.ly/Qj5rsi. Rick Bryan is executive director of Cancer Support Community in Blue Ash.

Aug. 2, 1990, through March 3, 1991, have until the end of this year to apply. Those who served in Iraq have until the end of 2014 to apply. Presently, no deadline has been announced for Afghanistan veterans. Generally, the 2009 Veterans Bonus pays up to $1,000 for service in theater and $500 for other active service during the wars. Medically disabled service members may receive a one-time payment of $1,000. The families of those who do not return will receive $5,000. More than 66,000 Ohio veterans and families have received the bonus since August 2010, but many more have yet to apply. With time running
out, it is important that we spread the word as far and in as many ways as possible. Earlier this year, I introduced HB 166, which would have allowed eligible veterans to identify themselves as such on their Ohio tax return. Then, the Ohio Department of Veterans Services would be able to identify and assist these veterans in applying for the bonus and other benefits they have earned. Unfortunately, this bill has not made it out of the House Ways & Means Committee yet, but I and other legislators continue to urge its passage. Until then, veterans must take it upon themselves to apply. To apply, contact the Ohio
Department of Veteran Services at 1-877-644-6838, visit veteransbonus.ohio.gov, or contact your county Veterans Service Commission. If you know of a friend, co-worker, or family member who served in the Persian Gulf, please make sure they are aware of this bonus and the deadline at the end of the year. It’s not enough to truly repay them for their service, but it shows that in Ohio we honor our veterans in our actions, not just our words. State Rep. Connie Pillich served eight years on active duty in the US Air Force. She represents the 28th Ohio House District.
Tell Congress: Medicare Part D deserves support Seniors want to be independent, and key to that independence is financial stability. Helping Hamilton and Warren County seniors attain or maintain that stability is one of our missions at Cincinnati Area Senior Services (CASS). Health care costs can be a significant issue for many of our seniors. Plans which help control those costs, and do so effectively, deserve our support. Medicare Part D, the prescription drug program, has helped seniors and those with disabilities with dependable access to medications since the program started in 2006. At a time when health care costs are spiraling out of control, Part D is costing 45 percent lower than projections, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) last year said that improved access and adherence to medicines through Part D saves Medicare about $1,200 per year in hospital, nursing home and other costs for each senior who previously lacked comprehensive drug coverage. This translates into about $12 billion per year in savings across Medicare. Polls have consistently shown high satisfaction rates among Part D enrollees. A recent survey by Medicare Today found that 90 percent of seniors in Part D are satisfied with the program. Part D is a public-private partnership. The federal government manages the program and private insurers administer the plans. The health plans negotiate
with pharmacies and drug companies to get the lowest possible prices. This requires health plans to compete for customers, resulting in a Tracey Collins wide variety of COMMUNITY PRESS affordable plan GUEST COLUMNIST choices. Medicare Part D premiums are half the amount projected when the program started and remained unchanged between 2011 and 2013. The average monthly premium is about $30 in 2013, less than half of the $61 forecast originally, according to the Centers for Medicare Services. A 2012 analysis shows that the average price for prescribed drugs purchased through Part D increased by a total of just 1 percent over the program’s first four years. Despite its solid performance, the future of Part D is in jeopardy as Congress considers the federal budget deficit and entitlement reforms. There are three proposals that could dramatically change Part D and undermine its success. First: the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), a 15-member group solely appointed by the President. When it convenes in the future, the IPAB will recommend ways to hold down costs in Medicare. It is expected that some recommendations will restrict access to some medicines and treatments. The IPAB is unaccountable to
Congress and its decisions cannot be appealed or challenged by patients or their medical professionals. It is encouraging that some in Congress are working to repeal this part of the Affordable Care Act. Second, many in Congress want to impose Medicaid-style rebates to Part D. This would impose government price controls on about one-third of Part D spending and undermines the current competition-based structure that contains costs. Third, there are some who want to allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services to interfere in the private price negotiations between Medicare Part D plans and drug manufacturers and pharmacies in the program. Part D prohibits this as the “non-interference clause” but some in Congress want to repeal this rule. The nonpartisan CBO says that allowing interference is unlikely to achieve any significant savings unless the government also restricts beneficiary access to prescription drugs or fixes prices. One of our agency’s visions is to excel in fiscal management and efficiency of operation. We believe Medicare Part D is on the path to do the same. We urge the Ohio members of Congress, particularly U.S. Rep. Brad Wenstrup, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown and U.S. Sen Rob Portman, to maintain the successful Medicare Part D program. Tracey Collins is the executive director of Cincinnati Area Senior Services.
CH@TROOM Nov. 6 question State Sen. Bill Seitz has introduced legislation which would redefine the standards or third parties to appear on Ohio’s ballot, including a minimum requirement of 56,000 signatures to get on the ballot and receiving at least 3 percent of the vote in a presidential election to stay on the ballot. Do you support Seitz’s proposal? Why or why not?

rad Grimm’s kids groaned a little when he woke them early Saturday to do some volunteer work for Make a Difference Day. But the complaining didn’t last long. Soon after they arrived at A Child’s Hope International in Sharonville, Emma, 9, and Brendan, 7, took to the task of packing food for needy children with enthusiasm. It helped that the place was filled with music and hundreds of volunteers, many of them other kids, working in a big room that felt more like a party than a campaign to save the world. “It was a little rough getting them up,” said Grimm, of Liberty Township, “but they’re having a good time now.” Similar scenes played out across the region Saturday as parents, children, neighbors, co-workers and strangers came together for Make a Difference Day events that
participants often said were as rewarding as they were important. Parents brought their children, neighbors came with neighbors, and more than a few teenagers encouraged their moms and dads to join them. “It shows them that it’s important to give back,” Grimm said of his children. Make a Difference Day started more than 20 years ago, and the annual event is now the largest national day of community service. Thousands of projects were planned across the country. At A Child’s Hope, more than 600 volunteers turned out in two different shifts to pack boxes of rice, soy and dried vegetables for hungry children around the world, from Africa to poor neighborhoods in the United States. Organizers turned the event into a contest between more than 20 tables of volunteers. A video display ticked down the

minutes and showed how many boxes of food had been packed while volunteers scrambled to measure, weigh and pack the bags. Music blared from loudspeakers, and kids slapped high-fives whenever they filled a box. “The whole family can do this together,” said Cheryl Kemp, an administrative assistant at A Child’s Hope. And many did. The Grimms worked alongside three generations of a family from Mason. Grandma Margie Sawyer helped her 16-year-old granddaughter, Emma Wittman, fill the bags with rice and soy, while Emma’s mom and stepfather helped weigh and seal the bags a few feet away. Emma said she wanted to help a good cause but admitted she had an ulterior motive. “I wanted to spend some time with my mom,” she said. The Sharonville event was among the largest in the region Saturday, but dozens of others took place throughout the day.
Neighbors helped clean streets in North Avondale and Linwood, children collected items for orphans in Delhi Township and animal lovers raised money for shelters in Madeira and Amelia. Alex Linser, a Linwood community trustee, joined about a half-dozen others in a streetcleaning mission Saturday morning. On Church Place, just north of Linwood’s business district, they cut away overgrowth that had covered a sidewalk for years. Together, they filled a pickup truck with branches, leaves, trash and other debris. “We can’t do everything,” Linser said, “but it will look a lot better when we’re done.” Another reclamation project was underway in Amelia, where more than 20 volunteers showed up to help Perla Kinne and her husband expand the Angel’s Rest Animal Sanctuary. The shelter is home to almost 100 cats and dogs that are
old, sick or considered hard-toadopt. If not for the shelter, most would have been euthanized. “We’ve had some dogs with us only three days,” Kinne said. “Our goal is that’s three days they’ll be loved.” The shelter is expanding to a new location on Ohio Pike and needed to prepare the 9,000-square-foot building and the big yard that goes with it for more animals. Kinne put out a call for help on Facebook and the Make a Difference Day website. She was overwhelmed by the response. Volunteers cleared the buildings of old furniture and junk, mended a fence in the yard and helped put together a thrift shop that Kinne hopes will raise money to support the shelter’s operations. Local businesses pitched in by providing free doughnuts, coffee and pizza through the day. “It’s wonderful,” Kinne said, looking at a parking lot filled with volunteers’ cars. “It’s pretty amazing.” m

Liqueur, salad recipes kick off holiday season Thanksgiving will be here before you know it and some of you are already preparing your grocery list. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday since it’s just about food, family and friends – no presents required. Yes, it can get stressful, especially if you’re hosting the feast. As I tell you every year, it’s not only about the food, but who sits in the chairs. Some advice from one who has been there, done that: Parsley and whipping cream are great culinary BandAids. During one of my recent classes, the subject of limoncello for the holidays came up. If you want to give this as a gift or serve it at Christmas, it’s best to start the process now.
Double Citrus Limoncello
The great thing about this is it keeps just about forever in the freezer. You can use all lemons for classic limoncello. This year I made some with a combo of lemons and limes. It was different, and good. 2 pounds lemons, thick skinned 4 limes, thick skinned if you can find them 4 cups good quality 100 proof vodka 3 cups sugar 3 cups water
Pour vodka in large gallon glass jar or container. Wash fruit very well using hot water to remove wax coating. Pat dry. Remove zest with a vegetable peeler. The zest is the colored part. If some of the white part underneath the skin is visible, cut it off. That’s the pith and it’s very bitter (though it is the most nutritious part of the peel). If you can’t get it all off, do the best you can. Place zest in jar with vodka and cover. Let sit at room temperature for at least a week, or up to three weeks. The vodka will take on the color and flavor of the citrus as it steeps. Bring sugar and water to a simmer and stir until sugar dissolves and
thickens a bit. Let cool and then add that to vodka mixture and stir. Strain and Rita put in pretHeikenfeld ty bottles. RITA’S KITCHEN Seal and chill in refrigerator for a couple of weeks, at least. To use, serve straight over ice chips, mix with sparkling wine or mineral water and a lemon curl, toss with fresh fruit, serve over ice cream, frozen yogurt or simple cake.
and cook until sugar is dissolved. Add orange slices, cloves, cinnamon sticks and rum. Bring to boil and then simmer 10 minutes. Serves about 10.
been in the refrigerator a while. It should be nice and white. If it tastes vinegary or not really spicy, it’s old and needs to be replaced.

Holiday Waldorf salad
For Will, a Colerain Township reader. For the life of me, I can’t remember the origin of this recipe. I think it was from another reader whose name I obviously misplaced. Regardless, this is one of the tastiest Waldorf salads you’ll ever eat. Mix together: 11⁄2 to 2 pounds grapes, mixture of red and green, halved 2 ribs celery, sliced thin 1 cup raisins 1 cup chopped English walnuts 3 diced apples
Mix and blend with above: 1 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon vinegar or more to taste 1 cup milk
Let sit in refrigerator several hours before serving.
Hot buttered cider
Add more or less of any ingredient, to your taste. This is a nice offering before the Thanksgiving dinner.
Easy. Affordable. Healthy. Now that’s a plan.

Rusty McClure addresses Cincinnati Woman’s Club
Wernz to re-enact famous speech
The Cincinnati Woman’s Club Educational Evening division of the Lecture & Enrichment Committee presented a dinner program featuring noted author Rusty McClure. McClure has written the New York Times bestsellers “Crosley,” “Cincinnatus” and “Coral Castle.” As the son of Ellen Crosley McClure (daughter of Lewis Crosley) he has direct insight into the life of the Crosley Family and entertained the audience with tales from the lives of Lewis and Powel Crosley. McClure holds a master of divinity from Emory University and an MBA from Harvard. He teaches the entrepreneurial course at Ohio Wesleyan University, his undergraduate alma mater. Since 1894 The Cincin-
EmpowerU will re-enact Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address on Monday, Nov. 18, as part of the 150th anniversary of the speech. The event is 6 p.m.to 7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18, at Historic Glendale Square’s Depot Museum Building (between Museum Depot and Rail House), 44 Village Square,Glendale. Reservations are required to www.empoweruohio.org. This reenactment by nationally renowned Lincoln presenter Stan Wernz will commence at 6 p.m. outside the Depot Museum Building in Glendale Square, and will then re-convene at the Harry Whiting Brown Center Scout House (a one-minute walk), where Wernz will regale visitors with a monologue of the most famous and entertaining snippets from Lincoln’s writings and speeches. From the now-iconic phrase “Four score seven years ago,” to the equally iconic phrase, that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth,” Wernz will have visitors feeling like they are in the audience of the 16th president. Wernz was born in 1935 in Mt. Healthy, on Lincoln Avenue. He attended Greenhills High School, graduating in 1953.
The Cincinnati Woman's Club President Leslie Mowry (Wyoming) was pleased to meet author Rusty McClure and his mother, Ellen Crosley McClure, at a recent Educational Evening at the Club. PROVIDED

Lincoln impersonator Stan Wernz will re-enact the Gettysburg Address Nov. 18 in Glendale. PROVIDED
As a child Wernz always had a deep regard for both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. He was especially drawn to President Lincoln and in the 1960’s when he grew a beard a student commented that he always acted like Lincoln and now he looked like him. Wernz looked in the mirror and concluded if he shaved his mustache there was indeed a great similarity in appearance.
Thus began his career as a Lincoln impersonator. Following retirement, Wernz began doing more presentations of Lincoln and joined the Association of Lincoln Presenters. His monologue is taken from the speeches and writings’ of Lincoln. Wernz has appeared in such publications as People, Time, Cincinnati Magazine and a Smithsonian Documentary “The Fighting Irish.”
Cincinnati Woman's Club's Educational Evening Chairwoman Debbie Campbell (Finneytown), Lecture and Enrichment Committee Chairman Jane Hlad (Ft. Thomas) and Educational Evening co-chair Mamie Maxwell (Covington) enjoyed the interesting presentation at the Cincinnati Woman's Club by author Rusty McClure. PROVIDED

Evendale teen bridges gap
A new king has been crowned! His name is John Altman, and he is the 2013 King of Bridge. The King (or Queen) of Bridge accolade recognizes a graduating high school senior’s overall participation in the local bridge community, as well as prowess in the game. Selected annually by the American Contract Bridge League Educational Foundation from High School senior applicants, the King/Queen of Bridge crown is accompanied by a $1,000 scholarship.
Altman is a resident of Evendale and a former long-time resident of Mariemont, and a graduate of Walnut Hills High School. He began playing bridge when he was 12-years-old, but notes that he has been playing cards since before he could count. “I learned my numbers from playing cards with my grandma,” he said. “My grandma knew I had a knack for cards, so as a gift, she paid for me and my dad to take lessons at the Cincinnati Bridge Center on Cooper Road. After a few lessons, I was hooked.” FREE

Evendale bridge champion John Altman with his first bridge mentor, Bill Higgins of Indian Hill. PROVIDED
His bridge teacher, Nancy Sachs, and his first mentor, (the Cincinnati Bridge Center has a nationally recognized Mentor/Mentee Program to help newer players progress in the game) Bill Higgins of Indian Hill, were also instrumental in growing his love for the
game. Altman is travelling in distinguished company in his passion for bridge. Both Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are devotees of the game. What sets Altman apart, however, is his wise-beyond-his-years focus on recruitment and teaching.
“Of all the things I have done in the bridge community, teaching has been one of my absolute favorites,” Altman said. Altman created the Walnut Hills Bridge Club, an afterschool club at his high school. The club meets weekly, and welcomes all with a desire to learn this noble game. What is it about bridge that sets it apart from other card games? The answers are many, beginning with the mental stimulation and challenge it affords. Educators embrace the activity because it hones math skills along with requiring mental strategy and planning. A number of schools in the area have recognized this fact. There are also afterschool clubs at Indian Hill middle school and high school, St. Xavier High School and Lakota High School. For those in the senior citizen category it has
been found that playing bridge can hedge one’s bets against developing memory loss. Research in Alzheimer’s disease has discovered that deliberately struggling to learn difficult material is good for one’s brain, from birth to old age. So, what are the next steps for this King of the Bridge World? What else but establishing a Bridge Club at The Ohio State University in Columbus, where he is a Chemical Engineering major. To learn more about playing bridge in Cincinnati go to the Cincinnati Bridge Association website at www.cincybridge.com or send an email to cincybridge124 @gmail.com. Any middle or high schools interested in forming a bridge club should contact Mike Purcell at cincybridge124 @gmail.com.

Steele takes over at Ohio Valley Residential Services James W. Steele, who has devoted all of his professional life and much of his personal life to helping people with developmental disabilities, has been appointed executive director of Ohio Valley Residential Services, a nonprofit that serves people with developmental disabilities. OVRS runs more than 20 homes in Greater Cincinnati for people with developmental disabilities and provides other related services. It has about 140 clients. Steele previously worked as executive director of Halom House Inc., which also provides residential services to people with developmental disabilities in Hamilton County. Board member Carey Kruer called Steele the “ideal candidate.” “Jamie had a record of success and background that matched our needs perfectly,” she said. His personal connec-
Steele
tion to people with developmental disabilities began at age four when his brother, Andy, was born with a severe developmental disability. His brother was never able to walk or talk, but still inspires Steele – even after his death 14 years ago. One day when they were children, the two were at a neighborhood park, Steele recalled in an essay. Steele got into the only fistfight of his life. Another child had been making fun of the way his brother looked and the
sounds he made. “That day didn’t turn out so good for that kid,” Steele wrote. “My parents didn’t condone fighting and my mother made sure that everyone knew how disappointed she was with me in fighting. “On the way home that day,” Steele added, “we stopped at the store and she told me I could have any candy I wanted.” During the summers, the brothers attended Stepping Stones in Indian Hill, a camp for children with developmental disabilities. Andy was a camper; Jamie a counselor. Ever since then, Steele has been in jobs where he serves people with developmental disabilities. In college, he earned a bachelor’s degree at the College of Mt. St. Joseph,
where he focused on social work and religious studies, and a master’s degree at the University of Cincinnati, where he concentrated on social work with an emphasis on administration. Throughout his college years, he worked in group homes. During that period, he helped to deinstitutionalize people with developmental disabilities, a trend that started in the 1970s. He helped the Resident Home Corp., now known as Envision, open a group home for people who had lived in an Ohio institution for people with disabilities. After college, he worked as a resident assistant for the Resident Home Corp., as an employment counselor for Bawac Inc. in Northern Kentucky, and as a social worker for the Drake
Center, serving people with developmental disabilities in each of those roles. Then, for 20 years, he worked as executive director of Halom House, which is based in Blue Ash. He oversaw its growth from one home with eight residents to 25 residents in various settings. During his time there, he performed the functions of every employee as well as fundraising, community outreach, political advocacy and human resources. His move to OVRS was natural, not only because it’s a bigger organization but also because the two nonprofits have similar missions, visions and values. In addition, the longtime executive director of OVRS, Michael DeFrancesco, who retired, had been a mentor to Steele,
so Steele knew quite a bit about OVRS. OVRS Board President Henry Bang said Steele not only brought with him fresh ideas and a strong commitment to people with developmental disabilities but also success with fund-raising that will help OVRS enhance its fund-raising activities. Steele hopes to enhance the organization’s current services and initiate new ones. “We can lead our industry by introducing innovative residential environments for the folks we serve,” he said. Steele, who lives with his family in St. Bernard, also founded and sings in a 10-year-old rock band known as “The Code.” All proceeds from their performances go to nonprofits. The band has raised more than $60,000.
GOLFERS AND SCHOLARS
The Greater Cincinnati Women’s Golf Association has awarded nine $1,500 scholarships to area students. The GCWGA awards the scholarships to increase awareness of the organization and promote women’s golf in Greater Cincinnati. The scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic achievement, excellence of character and involvement in the sport of golf.
