BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS

La Salle gets support in wake of shooting

Community pours out encouragement to students and staff

Baseball returns to Covedale School By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

James school staff, St. Bernard School fourth-graders, Chaminade-Julienne High School in Dayton, Catholic Central High School in Springfield. Food from families with past or current students at La Salle. Cookies. Bagels. Chick Fil-A. Homemade banana bread. Calls from all over the country. Tankersley said staff and students appreciated the support and he didn’t want to leave anyone out as he ticked off the generous acts the school has been receiving. “There really was an outpouring,” he said. “It is overwhelming.” “Lancer strong” is becoming a rallying cry. A design using the

Green Twp. — Children in the Covedale area once again have a baseball diamond they can call their own. Green Township officials, the Cincinnati Reds Community Fund and Cincinnati Public Schools recently worked together to build a new baseball field at Covedale School. “I think it’s going to be really good for the Covedale community and it will be really good for the children of Covedale School,” said Green Township Trustee Tony Rosiello. “We’re happy it all worked out.” When Cincinnati Public Schools built the new Covedale School in 2008, the old ball field was lost as part of the construction. Although the $12.9 million school features state-of-the-art classrooms, a science lab, community meeting rooms and separate playgrounds for older students and kindergartners, the school district didn’t have the funds to include a new baseball field. Enter Green Township and the Reds Community Fund. Rosiello and Charley Frank, executive director of the Reds Community Fund, worked with Covedale School Principal Scott Sublett and the Covedale Athletics Association to get a new baseball field behind the school. “It was an opportunity to help Covedale School and the entire community,” Rosiello said. “It seemed like the right thing to do.” He said Green Township committed $50,000 of tax increment financing money it

La Salle High School officials say their staff and students have been bathed in love and support from the community, area schools and beyond in the wake of an attempted suicide in the school last week. On April 29, a 17-year-old La Salle junior pulled out a handgun in his first-period classroom and attempted to take his own life in front of his teacher and about 20 classmates. The school was immediately placed on lock down and students were ushered to the gymnasium after the victim was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center. The teen remained in critical but stable condition as of May 2. Staff and students returned to school April 30, beginning with Mass. There was also a community prayer service that evening. Director of Community Development Greg Tankersley said cards, letters, flowers, food, banners and all kinds of support began flowing into the school the day of the shooting and it hasn’t stopped. The messages of support were widespread and a lot of them were sent via social media such as Facebook and Twitter. The La Salle Broadcasting Network and the Cincinnati La Salle High School Facebook pages were filled with messages of support and photos. UC President Santa Ono posted a message of encouragement. Normally rivals on the athletic fields, St. Xavier High School students posted a photo showing students trading their Bomber Blue shirts for Lancer red as a show of support. McAuley freshmen and

Elder baseball players pinned scarlet ribbons on their jerseys. There were photos of La Salle and rival teams praying together before games. When La Salle’s freshmen baseball

Relay for Life moves to the Mount this year By Kurt Backscheider

kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Delhi Twp. — Diane Sykes and Judy Leach are once again asking West Siders to pull on their walking shoes to help the American Cancer Society put an end to cancer. Sykes, a Bridgetown resident, and Leach, a White Oak resident, are the co-chairs of the 2013 Relay for Life of the West Side. They invite cancer survivors, families, caregivers and the community to this year’s relay, which raises money for the American Cancer Society. “If you know a loved one

who is fighting cancer, or someone who has lost their battle with cancer, please join us in celebrating, remembering and giving back,” Leach said. A breast cancer survivor of eight years, Leach has been involved with the relay since 2005, when she took part in it with her entire family by her side. “My brother contacted me and said I needed to participate in the relay as a survivor, and he was taking care of everything else,” she said. Within two weeks, her family had raised more than $2,000, and in 2007 they became the first West Side relay

team to raise more than $10,000, she said. “I relay so my daughter and grandsons and all of my family and friends never have to hear the words, you have cancer,” she said. “I am dedicated to raise money to find a cure for this deadly disease.” This year’s relay has a new venue. It begins at 6 p.m. Friday, May 17, at the College of Mount St. Joseph in Delhi Township. Cancer survivors and their caregivers have the honor of walking the first lap, after

which they are treated to the annual survivor dinner. Relay teams then hit the track, and must always have at least one team member walking around the track until the event ends at noon on Saturday, May 18. “Cancer never sleeps, and neither will we,” Sykes said. One of the most touching moments of the relay takes place when darkness falls and the track is lit with hundreds of luminaries in honor of those affected by cancer. Throughout the course of the night participants can take part in a variety of games and activities. Sykes said some favorites returning this year are the “Minute to Win It” and “Family Feud” contests and Ms. Relay, in which men don women’s dresses and walk around soliciting donations. She said a new addition this year is the Walk a Mile in My Shoes event, where men will squeeze into high heels and attempt to walk a mile around the track. “It’s really a fun night for everyone,” Sykes said. “But the main goal is to hopefully wipe out cancer and help those who are suffering from it.” She started taking part in the relay in 2006 after her husband, Bob, lost his battle with cancer and her father died of lung cancer, she said. She doesn’t know why she waited until her husband died to get involved with the relay because she’s found a wonderful support group in all the people who volunteer with the event, she said. “The relay is where people come together to find a cure and to help so no one else has to go through it alone,” Sykes said. “I don’t want anyone to go through what my husband had to go through. It’s an awful thing for a person and families to experience.” Over the years, Relay for Life of the West Side has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the American Cancer Society.

Covedale School is home to students in grades kindergarten

through sixth-grade, but Cincinnati Public Schools doesn’t have organized athletic teams for students until they reach seventh-grade, making the field even more important, Sublett said. Studies have shown students who participate in after-school or extracurricular activities perform better academically, he said.

Family soars with 3 Eagle Scouts By Amanda Hopkins westernhills@communitypress.com

The Watkins sons are putting a mark on the community while creating a family tradition. Elder High School senior Andy Watkins earned his Eagle Scout Award earlier this year, following in the footsteps of older brothers Nick and Curtis. The Eagle Scout is the highest honor awarded in the Boy Scouts organization. It is earned by completing 21 merit badges and a large service project. Jim Watkins, father to Andy, Nick and Curtis, said only 5 percent of Boy Scouts earn Eagle rank. All three earned the rank through Troop 177 at St. Catherine of Siena in Westwood. Andy earned his award by building the Alumni Picnic Grove at Elder’s PAC complex on Quebec

Road, spreading mulch and designing and building the picnic tables. “(Elder) taught me to reach for higher things and I wanted to leave my mark with the school,” Andy said. “Over the course of many months I talked with our principal Mr. Otten and we bounced back and forth different ideas. With guidance from Mr. Dabbelt and Mr. McCoy we conceived the concept of the picnic grove.”

“The project cannot benefit Boy Scouts directly; it is intended to be a ‘service to others’ so the project must be helpful to a religious institution, school or youth community,” Jim said. Curtis, a 2011 Elder graduate, built a memorial to two military veterans that included flag poles, plaques and arranging a Memorial Day flag celebration at the Talbert

La Salle shooting prompts schools to review security, safety plans signed a large banner and sent it to La Salle to show their love and support. Seton also has counselors available to students as needed, she said. “We pray for this young man and his family, for his classmates and their families, the teachers, the student body and the entire community as they are all healing,” Schutte said. “We pray for all those who are facing challenges in their lives right now.” Seton Principal and CEO Donna Brigger said the school continues to adhere to rigorous practices for the safety of students and staff. “We thank the community for their support in following our security procedures, which include that all school doors are constantly locked, visitors must be let in and visitors must also sign in,” she said. “We have cameras in strategic locations and staff on duty during the school day who help monitor those cameras and our parking garage.” Additionally, Brigger said Seton just received a donation to help the school upgrade all of its security measures. The Winton Woods City School District is reviewing its existing security measures and looking to update systems at the high school, interim superintendent Jim Smith said. “We are studying several proposals that would substantially increase security at our four-building high school campus that would be in place for the 2013-2014 school year,” he said. “While we currently have an extensive camera system, we are looking for a better system to limit access to the buildings during the school day. As to our other schools, we are able to lock those buildings down and have a camera/entrance system for each.”

cers have been walking through all of the school buildings in the township regularly so officers are familiar with the buildings and their layouts and begin to build relationships with students. The 17-year-old victim remained in critical, but stable, condition as of Thursday, May 2. Oak Hills Local School District Superintendent Todd Yohey said their thoughts are with the La Salle community. “Oak Hills extends a hand to the student and family involved, the other La Salle students, and the staff and administration,” Yohey said. “We stand ready to assist in any manner requested.” He said the Oak Hills district conducted a security and safety evaluation of all its buildings in January and February.

“As a result, the district is in the process of installing security cameras and buzzer systems at the main entrances of all buildings,” Yohey said. “In addition, the district is installing fingerprint access at several other exterior doors to eliminate keyed entrance.” Equipping schools with first-responder kits that have emergency first aid equipment, including supplies to treat gunshot wounds, is also part of the district’s plan. “All safety protocols have been updated and local law enforcement agencies were involved in the district’s planning,” Yohey said.

Finneytown — “Our thoughts and prayers are with the La Salle community. We hope and pray for your classmate's recovery and healing. And we pray that from this tragedy every student and every person can see that your life matters, that life is sacred, and that there is always Gebhardt hope.” St. Vivian Church posted this message on its Facebook page April 29, following the attempted suicide of a student at La Salle High School. “I immediately text messaged a few friends on staff at La Salle and told them, ‘If you need me, you got me,’” St. Vivian priest the Rev. Paul Gebhardt, 51, said. Gebhardt worked at La Salle from 1999 to 2005 serving as campus minister, teacher and chaplain. He was also the bowling coach until 2011 and helped with retreats at the school. The staff at La Salle

The first bout was back in the mid-90s,” he said. “I used my own experience with depression to encourage them to get help. It’s something that unless you’ve been through it, it’s difficult to understand. I described it and talked about some of the feelings very common to depression.” Gebhardt said that you can often feel a “downward spiraling negative feeling and a feeling of no way out.” “Dealing with my own depression really forced me to take stock in myself, restructure my life,” he said. Overall, he said he wanted to leave the students with a sense of hope. “I wanted to remind them that God is still present, still with them, even in the midst of this horrific thing,” he said. “And to pray for the strength to get through this.”

Two at Seton are merit finalists Two Seton High School seniors – Katarina Gay and Lindsey Mullen – have been name National Merit Finalists. Gay said that her hard work has helped her achieve this goal. “I am ecstatic to be a National Merit Finalist. It is very humbling be included in such an elite group of students,” she said. “I set a goal for myself early on in high school to really prepare for the PSAT in hopes of reaching the National Merit status.” She has her college choices narrowed down to Georgetown University, the University of Notre Dame and Boston College. “Now that I can see the benefits and opportunities that await me as I make a college decision, I know my hard work has paid off,” she added. Mullen, who will attend either Miami University or Vanderbilt next fall, shares in that excitement. “I feel extremely honored to be able to call myself a National Merit Finalist,” she explained.

Taylor runs past the competition By Tom Skeen tskeen@communitypress.com

CLEVES — The sun is shining on the Taylor track team in 2013. With the boys team ranked No. 4 in The Enquirer Divisions II-III area coaches’ poll and the girls at No. 9, coach James Tenhundfeld couldn’t be happier with the way things have gone thus far. “I’ve been thrilled with this season,” he said. “Our numbers are the highest they have been in years and the program is heading in the right direction. We have a lot of meets against bigger schools and we’ve held our own and won a lot of events.” Both teams gained confidence early after the boys finished fourth out of 28 teams, to go with the girls’ seventh-place finish at the Divisions II-III Coaches’ Classic. After a season in which the girls’ team landed not a single athlete on the All-Cincinnati Hills League team, the Lady Yellow Jackets have an athlete ranked in the top 10 in eight different league events this season. “Last year was kind of a black cloud year for our girls team,” Tenhundfeld said. “… This year we’ve been healthy, have an outstanding freshmen class, picked up two juniors who are first year runners who are contributing, but just the numbers and being healthy have been key.” Sophomore Lizzi Lakamp and senior McKenzie McDaniel have led the way so far. Lakamp took home first-place in both hurdle events and a seventhplace finish in the 200-meter dash at the Harrison Invitational April 20, where Taylor was the lone DII representative out of13 schools. McDaniel – who missed the league championships and the district meet last season due to injury – has the best time in the CHL in both the 1,600- and 3,200meter events. “She is one I sometimes have to tell to stop,” the coach said. “You can’t drive down Bridgetown Road without seeing her running. She definitely puts in the time to say the least.” On the boys side it’s a nice mixture of youth and experience contributing towards the success. Sophomore Roman Murray is getting it done in the sprint events for the Yellow Jackets. “Roman is kind of the key of what we are looking for the program to become,” Tenhundfeld

Young Panthers find late-season stride By Tom Skeen

tskeen@communitypress.com

PRICE HILL — After starting the season 2-6 as a team, Glenn Wauligman and his Elder Panther tennis team have caught fire in the latter part of the season. The young team, which features only two seniors, is 3-1 over their last four matches and took some by surprise winning Flight D of the Greater Cincinnati Tennis Coaches Association Coaches’ Classic April 25. “It was a thought,” Wauligman said of winning the tournament. “Going in we lost to Summit (Country Day) 4-1 prior and knew potentially they were the team to beat.” The Panthers weren’t scared of anybody and as day one came to an end, Wauligman found himself with two singles players and his two doubles teams in the finals, to go with his No. 1 singles player, Luke Groene, in the finals of the back draw. “Thursday night after the matches, even though we had four in the finals, we still needed to win at least one, maybe two to wrap it up,” the coach said. “Kings, Summit and Fairfield were all within 30 to 40 points of us.” Wrap it up is just what they did as the Panthers went on to beat Fairfield by 130 points to take first place. Junior Andrew Cole dominated at No. 2 singles, beating Madeira’s Travis Freytag 6-0, 6-2 in the finals. “I think he has finally settled on the second spot,” Wauligman said of Cole. “… Both (Groene and Cole) played at No. 1 (singles) for a bit and then he quit asking me where he was playing. He accepted his role and he is doing very well with it.”

What really clinched the victory was the play of both doubles teams. The team of Josh Patty and Tony Faillace took down Kings in three-set match, while the duo of Bryce Wauligman, Glenn’s son, and first-year varsity player Mike Rolfes beat a Summit team in straight sets despite losing to them earlier in the year. “Rolfes has only two years of tennis under his belt, he vastly improved and definitely deserved to be on varsity this year,” Wauligman said. “(Bryce) is really aggressive, so we paired one aggressive kid with one who is kind of passive and they have played really well together.” In the other two matches, See ELDER, Page A7

La Salle baseball finding its way By Mark D. Motz

mmotz@communitypress.com

Things did not look good at the beginning of the season, but suddenly the La Salle High School baseball team found its way. As of May 2, the Lancers had reeled off eight consecutive victories leading into crucial Greater Catholic League South showdowns against Moeller and St. Xavier. “There are quite a few guys contributing,” said head coach Joe Voegele. “I know it is very much a cliche, but we are winning as a team.” A cadre of seniors took control of the team to facilitate the turnaround after a 4-8 start, Voegele said. “They’ve kind of dedicated themselves to going out with a good season,” he said. “We had a rough start, lost a lot of onerun games, but we seem to have turned it around lately. We still have some tough games ahead, but I like the way we’re playing now. Probably no surprise to find a pair of Northwest Press Sportsman of the Year candidates instrumental in the newfound success. University of Dayton baseball recruit Brad Burkhart and Connor Speed

are just two of the players who sparked the resurgence. Other collegiate prospects like Bailey Abbatiello (Thomas More), Sam Cranor (Wilmington), Tyler Haubner (Mount St. Joseph) and Ken Ruberg (Thomas More) adopted a winning attitude traced back to Reed Rizzo, a Lancer baseball player who died last June. “Our identity is all together,” Abbatiello said. “I think the difference is we’re playing as a team finally. We’re finally playing Lancer baseball. We remember what Reed showed us.

Every time we break, we say ‘Play like 4’ (which was Rizzo’s uniform number). He’s always there with us.” Speed sacrificed some prestige for the good of the team, moving into the ninth position in the batting order to give the bottom of the lineup some additional spark. “I feel really comfortable down there now,” he said. “It was (a tough transition) at first. I’d been playing varsity for two years and was hitting .300, but I’m really a big team player and I wanted to help. Now if I

get on on, Tyler (Haubner, batting leadoff) has a chance to do some damage.” In fact, Haubner is hitting over .400 and is second on the team in RBI. “He plays with a lot of energy,” Voegele said. “Once we made that switch, that’s when we really started producing some runs consistently.” Burkhart not only produces runs - he leads the team in RBI but also prevents the other team from getting many. He is 5-1 on the mound for the Lancers, including a 5-0 mark in the GCL. “This year he’s just been dominant,” Voegele said. “He had a game where he pitched seven innings and only threw 74 pitches. It’s really been a plus to have a stopper like him, especially when we were struggling early.” “We were confident, maybe too confident,” Burkhart said. “In the beginning of the year we just threw our gloves out there and played like we deserved to win instead of working to win. The senior and captains said, ‘We can’t keep doing this and play bad. We have to play every game like it’s a GCL game.’ See LA SALLE, Page A7

LETTER TO THE EDITOR In response to the use of the word “cowards” for Senate members who voted down a gun control bill, what would you call Senate members who passed a 2,700-page bill before reading it known as Obamacare, “Democrats.” A bill with a mandate that threatens religious freedom.

Because a crazy person goes on a killing spree we want to crack down on gun laws. What about the abortion doctor that took babies born alive and cut their spinal cords to kill them. The stories from this trial are sickening. Babies lives are snuffed out at an abortion clinic and this is okay. The networks don’t cover this story because it doesn’t

A hearing test for women’s health week How are you planning to celebrate National Women’s Health Week (May 12-18) this year? National Women’s Health Week is worth a moment’s reflection. Even Wonder Woman has her limitations. Health is all too often something we just take for granted, until suddenly we can’t. National Women’s Health Week is important because it encourages women to take time for their health. Women often forget to make their own health a priority. With National Women’s Health Week, we remind women that they, too, need to visit the doctor, make sure their screenings are up-to-date, get active, and just take time to think about their health. Most women are probably

Goodbye old friend The headline, “Gamble house now history,” accompanied pictures of the Westwood landmark being demolished, onlookers mourning their loss, seemingly saying, “Goodbye old friend.” Old friends are a part of us. They shape our thinking. They remind us of whom we are. In a way, the Gamble House was my old friend, an image that I embraced. It was a must stop on the tour for out-of-town friends and family. I’d proudly convey, “That’s where James Gamble lived. He’s the guy who invented Ivory Soap!” Fortunately, the fight to save the Gamble House reminded us that inventing Ivory Soap was among the least of his accomplishments. James N. Gamble is the guy who established and exemplified our “West Side way of living.” Our West Side bravado is rooted in his unassuming, guy next-door persona. His success wasn’t his ticket to move to the East Side. Instead, it was his opportunity to make his neighborhood better. He was Westwood’s mayor, and best friend. He didn’t judge one’s social status or beliefs. He simply helped people realize their dreams – a new home for a working class neighbor’s family, a new church for people of a different faith. What a damn shame, I thought. The wrecking ball is a choice, not destiny. How strange that a conservation foundation, trusted to preserve the Gamble legacy, would deliberately destroy its very symbol, at the peril of the neighborhood James Gamble loved. What are the odds? To preserve his memory, and a piece of themselves, the Westwood community fought hard to save his home. While gazing at the pictures I accepted that their battle was lost, that an important

part of Westwood’s architectural heritage is gone forever. But then I thought: The “good fight” has united resiJim Grawe COMMUNITY PRESS dents, given them hope, and GUEST COLUMNIST caused them to dream again. Now, they have a vision to develop a beautiful civic square in the heart of the business district. A vision intended to regain Westwood’s status – and preserve the Gamble legacy. I choose to believe that James Gamble is again extending his helping hand. That loosing his home is the needed motivation to create a new, and better than ever Westwood! Thankfully, this “higher purpose” thinking prepared me for what happened next. As I continued to thumb through the paper, before me appeared a picture of one of my best old friends – with his obituary. Upon learning the cause of his death, hitting a deer on his motorcycle, I thought to myself, how strange. What a damn shame. What are the odds? The last time I saw him was at a mini-class reunion, at an Elder football game. Those who attended now intend to make it an annual event – to preserve his memory, and a piece of our selves. At some point in time someone will ask – Wasn’t Bill from Our Lady of Lourdes? To which I will reply, that’s where he went to grade school. He was from Westwood!

A publication of

ing is joining in the celebration of National Women’s Health Week by offering free hearing screenings May 14-18. Managed and staffed by women, The Place for Better Hearing is particularly sensitive to and knowledgeable about women’s concerns with hearing loss. Unaddressed hearing loss is one of the most under-recognized health issues in America today. Yet, hearing health affects virtually every aspect of a woman’s life. It affects how well she is able to communicate with others and it affects how well she is able to communicate with her healthcare providers regarding other health issues that she may face. Audiologist, Stefanie Godbey says, “More than 10 million women in America suffer from

unaddressed hearing loss. Hearing loss affects more than 34 million people in the United States today—and most are below retirement age.” Today’s hearing aids combine high-performance technology and style with durability and ease-of-use, transcending the old-world notion that a condition as common as hearing loss is something to hide. For the vast majority of people with hearing loss, there are solutions that help. And modern hearing aids are among them. Hearing aid users are reaping the benefits of today’s technology. Whether they sit discreetly inside your ear canal, or wrap around the contour of your outer ear, today’s hearing aids amplify life. They send the message: “I’m too young and

full of life to stop doing the things I love best.” In fact, today’s hearing aids are the No. 1 must-have consumer electronic for enhancing life in 2013.” National Women’s Health Week kicks off on Mother’s Day, May 12, and will be celebrated until May 18. For more information about National Women’s Health Week, visit www.womenshealth.gov. For more about The Place for Better Hearing, visit www.HearingBetter.net. Call 513-9220123 to schedule an appointment for a free hearing screening. Laurie DeWine, audiologist at The Place for Better Hearing, 3302 Westbourne Drive.

Owed money? Consider small claims court Small Claims court is for small cases where it may not be feasible to hire an attorney. If someone owes you money and won’t pay, take your case to small claims. A division Brad of the HamilGreenberg ton County COMMUNITY PRESS Municipal GUEST COLUMNIST Court, its purpose is to permit easy access to the court system for persons with disputes over relatively small amounts of money. Typical small claims cases are security deposit claims, car accidents and breach of contract actions. The most that you can sue for in small claims is $3,000. By filing a small claims case, you waive your right to a trial before a judge or jury. A magistrate, a lawyer appointed by the court, hears

these cases. Here are some rules for filing: » You must know the address of the party against whom you file suit. » The party filing the suit must prove his case by a preponderance of admissible evidence. » Only the owner may file a case that involves damage to a vehicle. » You do not need an attorney if you represent yourself. Your court date will be approximately 28 days from the day you file. The trial occurs at this first hearing so be prepared and be on time. If you are late for court you may lose your case. Small claims court only decides cases involving money. The magistrate cannot order either party to do anything other than pay money. Therefore, you should have an idea of the specific value of your loss. It is helpful to bring estimates, receipts or

other documents to prove your case. Be aware that if you file a small claims case, the defendant may file a counterclaim against you claiming that you owe him money. If the defendant wins you will have to pay him. Winning your case does not guarantee that you will get your money. If you win, you then have a valid judgment against the defendant. You may need to file additional legal forms to try to collect your judgment. Winning a case against a defendant who cannot pay is often a hollow victory. Filing a small claims case costs $49.00. Visit the Clerk of Courts office located in the Hamilton County Courthouse at 1000 Main St. Room 115. The office is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Judge Brad Greenberg presides in Hamilton County Municipal Court. He is a Loveland resident.

Miami Twp. — U.S. Marine Sgt. David Kreuter will forever be remembered for his courage and sacrifice. Hundreds of community members gathered with Kreuter’s family and friends April 27 to dedicate the Sgt. David Kreuter Memorial Highway. “As a family, we are truly honored for David and for this community,” said Sgt. Kreuter’s father, Ken Kreuter. “He touched more people than we can ever know.” Sgt. Kreuter was one of 14 Marines killed in Iraq on Aug. 3, 2005, when their amphibious

vehicle hit a roadside bomb. They served with Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 25th Marines. Kreuter, a Kreuter 1997 St. Xavier High School graduate who attended the Three Rivers schools prior to high school, joined the Marines in October 1998 and split time between college and the Marines for six years. He graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2004 with a degree in criminal justice. While growing up, he was active in athletics, scouting

and community service in both Miami and Green townships. The Sgt. David Kreuter Memorial Highway encompasses the portion of Bridgetown Road extending from the Cleves municipal line, through Miami Township and into Green Township at the intersection of Bridgetown and South roads. Ken Kreuter said the memorial highway serves as a constant reminder of the sacrifices his son, the Marines of Lima Company and all veterans and active servicemen and women have made in protecting our nation. “They are the ones to whom we owe our freedom,” he said.

Marine Sgt. David Kreuter’s boots sit below his image on “The Lima Company Memorial: The Eyes of Freedom.” The traveling exhibit honoring the 23 men from Lima Company who were killed in Iraq was on display at the Miami Township Community Center as part of the dedication ceremony for the Sgt. David Kreuter Memorial Highway. KURT BACKSCHEIDER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon dry goat or cow’s milk 1 tablespoon dry bath herbs of your choice, finely ground or not, or a few drops essential oil of your choice.

Mix together. To use, pour 1⁄4 cup into a hot bath.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Essential oils are distilled from plants and are very strongly scented. There are many kinds, from soothing lavender to energizing peppermint. Epsom salt soothes muscles and helps replenish magnesium levels and remove toxins from skin. Sea salt is recommended for its mineral content. Baking soda is alkaline, helps soothe and clean without harming delicate skin.

Simple sugar scrub Mix together: 1 cup fine granulated sugar 1 ⁄2 cup oil of choice: jojoba, almond, olive, grapeseed

Use for face, neck and throat. Avoid eye area. Use a circular motion and gently rub the scrub into your forehead, cheeks, chin and neck. Rinse with warm water. Finish with cool water to close pores. Store in refrigerator.

Foaming bath oil

Stir together gently:

⁄2 cup your choice of oil (see simple sugar scrub for choices) 1 ⁄4 cup mild, unscented liquid soap or baby shampoo Optional: Few drops essential oil of choice

Eddie Merlot’s potatoes

I don’t know if Linda, who requested the recipe from this Montgomery restaurant, is a mom, but if so, this will be her present from Yvonne Steinhauer, a Milford reader, who has the cookbook. 11⁄4 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1⁄2-inch cubes 11⁄2 tablespoons jalapenos, seeded and minced 11⁄3 cups heavy cream (whipping cream) 1 ⁄2 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded 1 ⁄3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 1 teaspoon Tabasco 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded Kosher salt and black pepper

Reduce by 25 percent, about 10-12 minutes. Whisk in Gruyere, Parmesan and Tabasco. Stir constantly until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over potatoes, toss gently. Top with Cheddar and bake 15-18 min-

utes until hot and bubbly.

Make sure insurance covers retail health clinics Retail health clinics are rapidly expanding across the country; there are more than 1,200 of them today. They provide muchneeded health care to many, including those who don’t have a primary care physician. But be careful, not all insurance policies will cover their services. Health clinics can be found at Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens and Kroger supermarkets. Greg Johnson, of Butler, Ky., visited one such clinic earlier this year for

a sinus infection. He went during his lunch break. “It took 20 minutes or so. They Howard gave me a Ain prescripHEY HOWARD! tion. I got the prescription filled and it was really fast and easy,” he said. Johnson went to The Little Clinic at Kroger in Cold Spring and paid with his insurance card. A few weeks later, “I get the

statement from my insurance company. My insurance has denied me coverage. They say they’ve declined the payment because it is a nurse practitioner, not a doctor,” he said. In fact, all these retail clinics are staffed by either nurse practitioners or physician assistants. Johnson said they really do provide a valuable service. He not only went to the clinic for himself, he said his wife and child have gone there as well because it’s so convenient.

“If you have children and your children get sick at 6 o’clock at night you don’t want to take them to the emergency room because it’s not an emergency. The clinics are typically open 7, 8, 9 o’clock at night, so it creates a convenience thing too for you with your children,” Johnson said. In addition, Johnson said such clinics can be less expensive than going to a doctor’s office. “I looked at the rates online and it says $85. My doctor charges my insurance

$140, so I thought it was going to cost me my $15 co-pay. But it was actually going to save the insurance company some money.” Johnson said his father checked with his insurance company and learned it too specifically excludes payments to such health clinics. But The Little Clinic, which is owned by Kroger, says while some insurance policies don’t cover its services, more than three dozen companies accept it – and that’s just in Cincinnati. It has clinics in

several cities around the country. The Little Clinic, which has been in operation since 2000, says 70 percent of its patients have insurance while 30 percent do not. The big thing is, although these health care clinics are meeting an unmet need, you need to check now to see whether or not your insurance plan will cover them.

Winters is a pace setter Bradley Winters among State Auto’s “PaceSetters” Bradley Winters of Winters Financial Network in Monfort Heights recently became a member of a very select group of State Auto independent agentsour PaceSetter Winters agents. “The goal of our year-long PaceSetter program is to form a sales/marketing partnership with each agent to improve service to all our customers,” said Chairman/CEO Robert Restrepo. “This group is truly our ‘cream of the crop,’ and we’re proud to have members of Brad’s caliber in the group, representing State Auto in Ohio. In the coming months, State Auto sales personnel will work closely with PaceSetter agents, like Winters, in forming a true sales alliance and providing professional assistance and feedback, as necessary. “We were very selective in choosing our PaceSetter agents who come from only our very top agencies,” Restrepo added. “The program was designed to ‘make a good thing even better,’ and that’s what we hope to accomplish during the program period.”

No. 1 on the list might be the big bang that started it all, or the Chixculib asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, Copernicus moving the sun to the center of our solar system, humans

walking on the moon or one of NASA’s most recent discoveries. Bring your own top 12 list to compare. Berninger will share the dynamics of the events and how they influenced our thinking and understanding of the universe and continue to do so today. Every second Saturday the Cincinnati Astronomical Society features area astronomers who bring you the universe. Families, students, teachers and scouts – anyone with a sense of wonder about our solar system, galaxy or the universe – are invited. After the presentation, astronomers will be on hand to answer all the spacey questions, there will be tours the CAS observatories and demonstrations on how telescopes work.

Sunset Players present ‘I Hate Hamlet’ Ghosts in tights have never been funnier as Sunset Players Inc. presents Paul Rudnick’s comedy, “I Hate Hamlet.” This final show of Sunset’s homecoming season runs through May 18. Tickets are $14 or $12 for students and seniors. Andrew Rally, played by Gunther Henkel-

Moellmann, has it all: celebrity from his starring role in a hit television series; a beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted agent; the perfect New York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. Of course, what would life be without a few quirks? Andrew’s girlfriend,

Deidre McDavey (played by Hannah Goodman), is a desperate romantic, swooning at the thought of Andrew playing Prince Hamlet on stage. Her relationship with Andrew hinges on his performance of Hamlet, as does her virginity! Andrew’s real estate agent finds him the per-

fect New York apartment and the one time (and future?) home of “the” John Barrymore. Of course, Felicia’s (Anne Marie Penick) idea of the perfect New York Apartment doesn’t exactly mesh with Andrew’s LA sensibilities. Lillian Troy, played by Merritt Beischel, is Andrew’s loyal agent. She remembers the apartment, as she once had a romance with the great Barrymore. This information launches Felicia into a tizzy! She suggests a séance to conjure the legendary Barrymore so that he can give Andrew some much needed advice. As séances go, this one is a flop. Or is it? The tipsy ghost of John Barrymore (Mike Burke) appears to Andrew, urging him to cast off the trappings of the material world and throw his soul into his destiny as an actor, to play Hamlet on the stage. He has some tips

for Andrew’s love life as well. Enter Jason Amos as Gary Peter Lefkowitz, who tries to convince Andrew to leave all of this stage acting nonsense for a starring role in his brilliant new TV pilot, and hilarity abounds. Does Andrew embrace his stage destiny? Will Barrymore rest in peace? Has Deidre found the

man of her dreams? The play is directed by Jerry Yearout and produced by John Wesseling. “I Hate Hamlet” plays at 8 p.m. May 10, 11, 16, 17, and 18 at at the Arts Center at Dunham, 1945 Dunham Way.
