3 Rivers hires new development director By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Court facelift
Tom Bailey said he is excited to introduce Kari Kuh as the new director of development for the Three Rivers Local School District. Bailey, who served as the district’s development director for the past three years, is taking on a new role this school year as the principal at Charles T. Young Elementary in Cleves. “It’s great for me,” said Bailey, who was principal at St. John the Baptist School in Harrison for six years before coming to Three Rivers. “I’m back in school with the students and faculty.” He said he appreciates all the support he received from the community during the past three years as development director. “Being the development director was a great opportunity for both me and the district, and we were able to get a lot of good things started,” he said. Bailey said Kuh, who begins work Sept. 1 and will earn $65,000 annually, will continue the strong start the district has made in development and help take Three Rivers to the next level. “I really believe that the pride and support that has gained steam will not only continue, but Three Rivers is on the cusp of something even greater than what we have seen,” Bailey said. Kuh, who worked at WGRRFM in Cincinnati for six years after graduating from Hanover College in Indiana, said she looks forward to moving back to the Midwest. She is in the process of moving

from Las Vegas, where she was a national sales manager for Clear Channel Radio. She said it was almost as if the position at Bailey Three Rivers was created for her. She said she’s managed fundraising, marketing, promotions and communications for radio stations her entire career, Kuh and nearly everyone in her family works in education. “What I’ll be doing for Three Rivers, fundraising and marketing, is the perfect mix of all the things I’ve done professionally, combined with my passion for education,” she said. Kuh said her primary goal as the development director is to find new revenue sources outside of regular school funding to help fund resources for teachers and students. “My goal is to help support the excellence the community has come to expect from the district,” she said. She said she’s also going to be out in the community talking to people, spreading good news about Three Rivers and asking residents what they would like to see from the district. “It’s just a great community,” she said. “I love that it’s a closeknit, friendly group of people.”
The closing of a longtime family business has provided Green Township the opportunity to improve the way it clears snow and spreads salt on township roads in the winter. Jerry Schwab, owner of Schwab Excavating Inc. at 3060 Blue Rock Road, is closing the business his father started in 1952, and Green Township has purchased the property. Schwab said it was a difficult decision to close the business and put his three employees out of work, but the business couldn’t endure the tough economy. “It was something that I didn’t take lightly,” he said. “The economy didn’t help the situation.” He said he’s been working part time in the marketing industry for the past few years, and now he’ll pursue a full-time position in marketing. He said the three employees he had to let go are in the process of finding new jobs. “It’s definitely hard,” he said. Green Township Administrator Kevin Celarek said the township purchased the Schwab Excavating building and the one acre of property it sits on for $280,000. “We bought the property because it’s going to house a satellite salt dome,” Celarek said. “The property is also near our park on Blue Rock Road, and we thought it was a very wise move
Celarek Schlimm to service our park and make our snow removal and salt distribution system more efficient.” Green Township Public Services Director Fred Schlimm said having a second location for salt trucks allows the township to better serve residents of White Oak and Monfort Heights. He said salt trucks headed to the northern section of the township often get stuck in traffic on North Bend Road when it snows. “There have been times when our drivers have had to sit in traffic on North Bend for more than an hour, and unlike police cruisers and fire engines, people don’t have to pull over to the side of the road for our salt trucks,” he said. “Now we will be able to dispatch crews from this new facility.” Schlimm said a new salt dome won’t likely be built at the Schwab site until spring of next year, but the township will run snow removal plows out of the facility this coming winter. “The residents will see a quicker response already this winter right off the bat,” he said.

Green Township purchased the Schwab Excavating Inc. property at 3060 Blue Rock Road, which is near the township’s Blue Rock Park. The owner is closing the business due to the bad economy, and the township will construct a salt dome on the property and use the site as a distribution center for salt trucks in the winter.

The fundraiser, in memory of Cheviot resident Kathy Schmidt, raises money for brain cancer patients undergoing treatment at Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Schmidt, a devoted wife and mother of three, died or brain cancer at 42. To celebrate her life and passion for helping others, the Always Our Sunshine 5K began in August 2007. “Kathy impacted the lives of everyone who knew her,� said Peggy Edwards of Mount Airy, Kathy’s sister. “She was know n for her bubbly personality and bright smile. She is smiling down on our efforts to help those in need.� The 5K will begin at the park, 3691 North Bend Road, with registration at 9 a.m. and the walk takes off at 10 a.m. Registration is
$20 per person, $45 per couple and $15 each for groups of three or more. Registration includes a Tshirt, tickets for door prizes (which includes an overnight stay at the Cincinnatian Hotel and inner for two at Cadiliac Ranch), along with food, drink and fun following the walk. All proceeds benefit Children’s Hospital’s brain cancer patients and their families. In the past, the donations have paid for summer school tuition enabling a child to graduate with his class, gas money for a family traveling form Florida, and to other recipients who are often far from home. “Thanks to donations form Always Our Sunshine, we are able to provide essential necessities to families who are here from faraway places,� said Polly PartinWelch, clinical director for hematology/oncology at Children’s Hospital. “Families sometimes find themselves without the resources they need to provide for themselves while their children get vital treatment in Cincinnati. Through donations from this fundraiser, we are able to help meet their needs. For more information or to register or to donate, go to www.alwaysoursunshine.org.

Cheviot voters OK operating levy By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Voters in Cheviot decided they like their city services and want the police, fire and maintenance departments to continue operating as normal. According to unofficial results from the Hamilton County Board of Elections, Cheviot residents voted 562 to 349 to pass a new 5.61-mill operating levy that was on the special election ballot Aug. 4. About 62 percent of those who voted supported the levy compared to about 38 percent who voted against it. “We’re extremely pleased, not only that it passed but that it passed overwhelmingly,” said Ward 4 Councilman Gregory Stautberg, chairman of council’s finance committee. “We appreciate the support the community showed for city services.” He said he also credits the members of city council
and administration who worked hard to educate residents about the importance of the levy request. The five-year levy will make up for a projected budget deficit in the general fund for city services. The levy is estimated to bring in about $730,000 annually for the city, and will cost the owner of a home with a market value of $100,000 roughly $160 more per year in taxes. Cheviot resident Steve Brunette said he went to his polling location on the rainy election day because the levy issue was important for the city. “I voted for it because we were already paying the trash fee,” he said. “It’s not that much of an increase and I think the city services are worth it.” The trash collection fee council instituted last year to make up for a budget deficit this year will expire Dec. 31. Stautberg said the city will not consider charg-
ing another trash fee for the immediate future. “This levy allows us to continue operating as we have, business as usual,” he said. “Barring any unforeseen problems, this levy will take us through the next five years without any major issues and allow us to maintain city services.” Stautberg said city council and the administration will continue spending wisely and being fiscally responsible with taxpayer dollars. Cheviot resident Mary Ann Telles said she supported the levy because she’s needed the police on several occasions and they’ve always been quick to respond. She also commended the maintenance crews for their hard work. “They clean up the snow in front of my home and they take away my garbage,” she said. “And they take everything I put out on the curb.”

Oak Hills settles lawsuit with teacher Cincinnati News Service The Oak Hills Local School District settled a federal lawsuit filed by a former gifted education teacher for $22,500. Members of the Oak Hills Board of Education voted unanimously at their meeting Monday, Aug. 3, to approve an agreement between the school district and Mary Boyle Willhite, settling the lawsuit. Willhite, a teacher who taught gifted and talented students at Bridgetown Middle School, filed the lawsuit last August after school administrators moved her to a regular, fifth-grade teaching job at Delshire Elementary School. Her lawsuit alleged she was being punished for speaking out about areas of the school district’s gifted program. Dozens of parents, who viewed her job transfer as a demotion, filled several board meetings and spoke on Willhite’s behalf.
Patricia Brenneman, who was the district’s superintendent at the time, said Willhite was not demoted, but was part of a pilot program that involved moving gifted instruction into regular classrooms rather than in special “pull-out” classes. The lawsuit filed in federal district court claimed the district violated Willhite’s free speech rights. Willhite, who made about $70,000 a year as a gifted specialist, said the settlement does not contain admissions of guilt. She said as part of the agreement, district officials would get training in transferring employees and respecting speech rights. “I was not doing this for the money,” she said. “I truly believe that the lawsuit and the settlement has been an impetus for change in the district.” After a year of not teaching, she said she doubts she will return to a career in education.

S c h o o l Willhite board president Jan Hunter read a statement on behalf of the board at M o n d a y ’s meeting, saying the Hunter agreement was recommended to the board by its legal counsel. “This agreement avoids a lengthy legal process that would have consumed financial resources and staff resources as well,” Hunter said. “Oak Hills maintains the denial of all allegations and enters into this agreement solely in the interest of resolution of this matter.” She said the procedure for transfer within the district and appropriate communication processes have always been a part of the annual training and review for district administrators.

It will be a whole new game for St. Dominic School students when they return to gym class this year. Thanks to the St. Dominic Athletic Association and parish, the second and final phase of a massive improvement project is about finished. Dan Dugan, association president, said the 50year-plus gym had been on the group’s to-do list for years. The project started last year with a $25,000 investment to replace basketball rims and backboards, a new paint job and protective padding along the gym walls. The parish, he said, paid for a new roof for the gym as well in 2008. This year, $109,000 was earmarked for a new gym floor and bleachers, plus electrical upgrades. Tony Morano, association treasurer and St. Dominic graduate, said the group has worked hard to raise the money. “We watched our budget carefully to be able to provide what is the biggest endeavor the association has undertaken,” Morano said. Dugan credits association coaches and coordinators for pinching pennies to keep the project on track.

West-side teams hope to keep pace By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
Local high school runners are lacing up their shoes as they prepare for 2009. Here’s a look at area teams heading into the season.
Elder
The Panthers are coming off a tremendously successful 2008 season in which they won the Moeller Invitational, the Lakota Fall Classic, the Cedarville Invitational, the Fairmont Invitational and the Centerville Invitational. They finished third in the GCL, second at districts and fifth at regionals (one spot short of qualifying for state). This year the Panthers will rely on senior co-captains Keith Schenkel and Kevin Berling, who boast personal-record times of 16:34 and 16:49, respectively. Also contributing will be juniors Josh Makin (16:13), Josh Rieskamp (16:51) and senior Jake Kelley. Other seniors include Nick Caminiti, Eric Capannari, Max Cucinotta, Jimmie Dugan, Sam Hahn, Ryan Morgan, Drew Reder and Bill Voellmecke. “Our summer conditioning has been excellent,” said head coach Steve Spencer, who has led the program since 1976. “Our commitment and enthusiasm are both high.”
Mother of Mercy
The Mother of Mercy Bobcats had an overall record of 47-49 in
2008, thus ending a streak of 11 straight winning seasons. The team, however, figures to get back on track with two Division-I college prospects – seniors Anna Ahlrichs (19:44) and Elaine Simpson (20:00). Ahlrichs was hampered by a knee injury last year but looks ready to go this season. “She’s been healthy this summer and could develop into the front runner we lacked last season,” head coach Scott Ridder said. Also contributing will be junior Madeline Mienhardt, sophomore Lauren Seibert and freshman Grace Simpson. “We are hoping to get Mercy back in the top 10 in the city, qualify as a team to regionals and get at least one individual to the state meet,” Ridder said.
Oak Hills
In 2008, the girls’ team were league, district and regional champions and finished sixth at the state meet, largely behind the efforts of four senior runners, including two-time state champion Brooklyne Ridder. This year the team will be led by two sophomores, Maggie Bischoff (19:33) and Caity Smith (19:45), both of whom played pivotal roles on the 2008 squad. Other key runners include seniors Amanda Budke, Angela Memory and Megan Murray, as well as freshmen Krista Witterstaetter and Rachel Price, sophomore Hailey Fultz and junior Emily Wolfrom.
“This year’s team will focus more on running as a pack,” said Shellie Hageman, who is entering her 10th year as head coach. “The team has the potential of having at least five runners under 20 minutes.” The top returner on the boys’ side is senior Izak Velasquez, an individual state-qualifier in 2008. Velasquez also won a district championship (16:05.90) last year and finished third at regionals (16:09.45). The Highlanders also hope to get help from seniors Max Bischoff and Stephen Kluesener, as well as juniors Brett Frondorf, Travis Troxell and Cody Lacewell.
Seton
The Seton High School cross country finished in last place in the GGCL last year, missing fourth place by only a few points. “We definitely want to move up in the league standings and get out of the bottom spot. We want to try to qualify for regionals since we couldn't get past the district meet last year," said head coach Karen Berling. Seton hasn't qualified for a regional meet since 2001. Returning for the Saints are junior Teresa Del Prince, who was second team All-GGCL last year; sophomore Melissa Schenkel, who was honorable mention all-league as a freshman; sophomore Samantha Beeler, sophomore Anne Pace and junior Allison Eberle. They’ll get help from seniors Jordan Perry and Kelsey Pace as
both are returning from injuryplagued 2008 seasons and look to be in good shape for 2009. “We don’t have any all-star runners but this is definitely the best team we’ve had talent-wise and attitude-wise in my three years as coach," Berling said. "They are positive and willing to work hard. They are just a great group of girls."
Taylor
The Taylor High School girls’ team, which finished fifth at districts in 2008, will be led by sophomore Olivia Hardtke (21:50.96), an individual regional-qualifer last year. The Yellow Jackets do not yet have a full team but should get a boost from McKenzie McDaniel and Shanel Mees. The boys’ team, meanwhile, also finished fifth at districts in 2008 and returns several of its top runners; among them are seniors Timmy Crofford, Chris Klaine, Steven Wise, Andrew Harvey and Andrew Asimus, along with juniors Tanner Lamieux and Justin Rueve and sophomore Jason Pope. Newcomers Matt Murphy and Spencer Craig also hope to contribute. “Our boys are a veteran group, and they should challenge for the CHL title,” head coach Jeff Smith said.
La Salle
The Lancers return their top two runners – juniors Travis Hawes and Ethan Bokeno – from a team that won the GCL title and
Golf season set to tee off By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
Local high school golfers are back on the green. Here’s a look at area teams as they head into the 2009 campaign.
Elder
Elder High School finished 20-5 and third in the Greater Catholic League last year, and they figure to be strong again in 2009. They’ll be led by two talented brothers: Michael Schwarz, a junior, and Daniel Schwarz, a sophomore – both of whom are Division-I college prospects. Other key contributors are junior Kevin Haas, sophomore Connor Moulden and freshman Brennen Walsh. Mike Trimpe, who enters his 19th season as head varsity coach, said the team’s strengths should be dedication to golf and team chemistry, as the Panthers hope to capture their first GCL title since 1990.
La Salle
The Lancers return several starters from last year’s squad – among them are seniors David Wetterich and Michael Riley and juniors John Burger and Michael Schmidt, who was second team All-GCL in 2008. Schmidt, Wetterich and Burger all had scoring averages slightly above 40 last year, while Riley, who shot just over a 41, wasn’t far behind.
Mother of Mercy
Kathy Dinkelacker enters her first year as head coach of the Bobcats hoping to improve on a 5-10 showing in 2008. She’ll rely primarily on returning sen-
finished 15th at state. Also returning are juniors Alex Thiery and Kevin Kluesener and sophomore Clayton Cardinal, all of whom have state-meet experience under their soles. With such an abundance of young talent, La Salle is a safe bet to make it the state meet this year and next.
Western Hills
The boys’ team returns seniors Greg Pitts and DeMarco Siler and junior Zechariah Mustapha. No information was available by publication deadline on the girls’ team.
Concert, outing to benefit fund
ior starters Gina Carmosino and Melissa Funk, as well as junior Lauren Pflum. Other key contributors include senior Rebecca Walton, junior Emma Jones and sophomore Amanda Myers. “(We’re) looking forward to a promising season,” Dinkelacker said. “(We’re) counting on the returning starters to lead the way, and hopefully together we can post some low scores.”
Oak Hills
Reigning GMC Coach of the Year Sandy Fernbacher enters her third season at the helm of the girls’ program, which will feature three four-year varsity members in 2009. Leading the way will be seniors Alaina Hartman and Krystal Kaiser, both of whom qualified for districts last year. Other key contributors include senior Biz Paff, junior Lauren Huegel and freshman MacKenzie Laumann. “We have experience, so that should be an advantage, especially at tournament time,” Fernbacher said. The boys’ team, meanwhile, enjoyed top-10 finishes in the Fairfield, Princeton and Middletown Invitationals in 2008 and finished seventh in the GMC. Andrew Taske, Joe Elrod, Devon Klumb, Keith Bunke and Tom Witterstaetter are among the Highlanders’ returning starters, while newcomers Matt Duwel and Josh Engel hope to make an impact. “We will have a very senior-oriented lineup,” said third-year coach Tom Baldwin. “Our expectations are to challenge for (first place in the GMC), qualify to the district tournament, and (contend) for a spot at the state tournament.”
ANTHONY AMORINI/STAFF
Oak Hills High School senior Izak Velasquez is the top returner for the Highlanders this season. A state qualifier in 2008, Velasquez finished first at districts with a time of 16:05 last October.
JAY LAPRETE/CONTRIBUTOR
Seton High School senior Bailey Arnold hopes to return to state in 2009.
Seton
Senior Bailey Arnold, a state-qualifier in 2008, returns to lead the Saints on the green this season. The 2008 GGCL Golfer of the Year holds numerous school scoring records and hopes to return to state in 2009.
Taylor
The Taylor High School girls’ team will be led by Jenna Reatherford, who finished third at sectionals in 2008. Other key contributors will be Paige Jones, a returning starter, and Emily Patrick, a transfer from Mother of Mercy High School. “Our season outlook is good for the CHL,” third-year head coach Dean Prowse said. The Yellow Jackets finished 9-6 last season. The boys’ team, meanwhile, finished 14-4 last year and boasts several talented players; among them are Brad Rapking, Dan Rapking, Jared Lee, Dillon Lee, Matt Nickoson, Ben Sander, Kaleb Sisson and Phillip Krinsky.

EDITORIALS
Green Township residents and Western Hills residents believe Mercy Health Partners should seriously reconsider a superior site for the new location of Mercy Hospital on the west side of Hamilton County Those residing in Western Hills believe a second opinion is warranted, especially from another developer besides Anchor Properties in Covington, Ky. The North Bend Road location in Monfort Heights is not a superior piece of property, it’s even a big inconvenience for patients who must travel out of their way, including ambulatory service. A superior site in Dent, in Green Township, has been overlooked. Look again at the Legacy Place development area, Wullenweber Ford car lot, Diamond Oaks and property next door. No primary schools nearby, a big issue faced by parishioners of St. Ignatius Church and School, and other nearby churches on North Bend Road. Convenient to Green Township police, fire and township administration buildings, including Veterans Park. Areas on Harrison Avenue are already zoned for business. Two new hotels at Rybolt Road and Harrison Avenue at Interstate 74. Hospital site close to I-74 at Harrison Avenue, two to three lanes and close to Westwood Northern Boulevard. Close to the new Good Samaritan building in Dent on Harrison Avenue and a doctors’ complex high-rise next to Huff Realty. Showcase Cinemas, Kroger, gas, Kmart and stores in Manchester Plaza on Harrison Avenue nearby. Don’t forget all the restaurants, Kohl’s, Meijer, Payless Shoe Source, Lowe’s and car wash in proximity to other store locations. Banks, savings and loans, and credit unions conveniently near the above-mentioned businesses. Metro bus line to Harrison Avenue at Race Road, close by Western Hills Shopping Center. In summary, these reference points should be the new strategy for the development of a new Mercy Hospital in Green Township. Sharon Otte Cedaridge Monfort Heights
Mercy: Lose-lose

Not good spot for hospital

a huge, empty facility. Clermont and Butler county officials got it right when they permitted Mercy to build hospitals on sites that are adjacent to extended expanses of green space and accessed by six-lane roads. Not so Hamilton County, as its leadership continues to sanction development that fosters more traffic and environmental problems, often without equal compensation from property taxes. The existing neighborhood longterm land use plans and economic goals are dismissed by Hamilton County representatives and investors as they continue selfserving and wasteful exploitation of our communities. More than Mercy’s perceived goals of fiscal responsibility and improvement of patient access to best practices, building in Monfort Heights (10 minutes from a variety of superb and extensive medical services) is a sad continuation of the inappropriate liaison between politicians and business profits. As citizens of Hamilton County, our goal should be to elect singleminded representatives who have a vision for economic growth that includes neighborhood initiatives and desires. Carol McMahan Tuxworth Avenue West Price Hill
Driehaus not pro-life
Kudos to Joanne Kemmerer for so accurately and succinctly reporting on my congressman, Steve Driehaus. He campaigns as being solidly pro-life, yet out of the other side of his mouth votes pro-choice. Does the man really want to be re-elected that badly? Does he really think it is a good idea to take private citizens’ hard-earned money and just throw it at Planned Parenthood? Beside killing millions of babies, Planned Parenthood promotes teenage sexual promiscuity on its Teen Talk Web site. If you have not read the site, I suggest you do. I am sure its content could not be printed in this paper. It is just that vulgar. When, Driehaus, will you become the man that you claimed to be while campaigning? When will you vote pro-life? If I pick up an apple and it has several bad spots, I either cut them out or pitch the whole apple. There is no reason that you cannot insist that any legislation for which you vote does the same in regards to abortion. Even if you are the only one insisting, at least you will be on record as an honest man. After all, a man is only as good as his word. Robin Boesken Lawrence Road Green Township

“Truthfully, I don’t care. But it does make me think again, as I have so many times in my life, about why people tend to elevate certain people to virtual sainthood based solely on athletic ability (which is usually something an individual inherits from his/her genetic makeup) or popularity as an entertainer. “In my life, I have known so many wonderful people who have given so much to others in terms of their time and talent, and have
remained unknown and unrecognized. “For example, there is a young couple in our parish who have adopted a number of children, assuming lifetime responsibility for their care and development. The couple are white, and the children are black and mixed race. “These people are far more worthy of recognition and attention than any Pete Rose or Michael Jackson.” Bill B. “Yes, his playing earned it. He’s paid for his mistake long enough.” J.F.
The proposed Mercy Hospital project has brought Green Township to a crossroads. We can choose to either be a provincial can’t-do’ community, or a progressive can-do community which embraces positive change. If we are a can’t-do community, our mindset will be one of dreaming up as many roadblocks to the proposal as possible. We will continue to raise the same tired objections to the project’s location, it’s impact on traffic, etc., etc. Conversely, if we are of a cando mindset, we will approach the situation much like Mercy Hospital personnel and Green Township Trustees Winkler, Upton, and Linnenberg have. They listened to all the issues, and addressed each of them. Police Chief West, Assistant Fire Chief Souders, and Economic Development Director Goetzman helped research various items such as safety, crime, noise and property values. Each concern was found to be without merit. Perhaps the most important issue is why the hospital should be constructed in the first place. There comes a time in the life of certain facilities, like hospitals, when upgrading them to incorporate the latest technology is not economically viable. Couple that with a mission to continuously find better ways to serve a target community, and the decision to build a new facility in a more central location to the population the organization wishes to serve makes sense. It does not automat-
ically follow that the older facilities it replaces will be abandoned. Mercy Mount Airy and Mercy Western Hills can continue to provide Steve their neighborWeidner hoods with useoutpatient Community ful services. As a Press guest big bonus, concolumnist struction of the new hospital and possible renovation of the two existing facilities will provide a much-needed economic boost to our area. From the viewpoint of my engineering background, this project is proceeding along a path that takes our community’s needs, concerns and expectations into consideration. There is a long way to go, including determination of exactly what services are to be offered, exact number of beds, exact configuration of the hospital and other buildings, and their exact sizes, number of floors, and cost. The process for a project like this is methodical, detailed, and costly because there is much at stake. So, while many people would like to see the complete plan laid out for all to see, it makes much more sense to develop the concept for general approval by the community and regulatory agencies before proceeding to the expensive part of the design effort.

All indications are that this hospital will be constructed. So, how about if we put aside the animosity that has proliferated in previous articles and blogs? It’s not becoming to us as neighbors in the same community. Together, let’s adopt a can-do spirit that empowers us to shape the very best outcome for Green Township. Steve Weidner is a Cincinnati native who has lived in Green Township for nearly 30 years. He is a registered professional engineer in a consulting engineering practice. He lives on Hubble Road
Remember those who came before As we have been celebrating Green Township’s 200th anniversary, I’ve been curious if any mention would be made of the people who lived here before our ancestors settled this land. That the first mention of Native Americans I’m aware of would be used in the same sentence with the word exterminated actually didn’t surprise me. Betty Kamuf’s fine article “Green history began in mid-1790s” in the July 15 edition caught my attention with the sentences from Isaac Jackson’s letter to his wife that said, “The Indian problem that was much talked about in New York was not a problem here. He expected they would be run off or exterminated by winter.” The word exterminated means to destroy totally or, basically, genocide. Genocide is the planned termination of a national or racial group. Some countries are brought before the World Court today for genocide. I don’t know if this was the official policy of our government, but through broken treaties and a constant push to move the Indians to the west, it may as well have
been. Washington, Jefferson and especially Jackson later, who ignored the Supreme Court, ignored treaties and let the Indians be pushed to Michael H. the west. Haap History, both and Community military American, is one Press guest of my interests. columnist The more I read about our country’s systematic destruction of the Native Americans, the more I understand the many failings of our great country, such as slavery and now immigration. One person I know says the solution to the immigration problem is to plant a minefield on the Mexican border. Do we really learn from history? I don’t think so. One of the reasons our government pressured the Indians was that some of them chose to side with the British during both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. The Indians did this because of the continual breaking
of treaties as we pushed westward into the continent. It became a downward spiral of resistance, treaty, broken treaty and more resistance. Now those of you who have read about the Indians in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana know that all of them didn’t fight our government continually. Some signed treaties for their tribes or even other tribes. Even within individual tribes, there was disagreement on how to resolve their plight. Tecumseh, one of the greatest Americans, tried to unite the tribes against the whites. He almost succeeded. Although if he had, I believe he and the tribes would have eventually been defeated or pushed further west. A major problem the Indians had was a lack of replacements for their wounded and killed warriors. The whites just kept coming. So as we celebrate our 200th, let’s not forget whose graves we stand on – Miami, Shawnee, Erie and other tribes.
Machine and not a baseball fan either, so my opinion is very different than many die-hard Reds fans. “I think professional athletes need to follow the laws of the land and the ethics of their team, whether that means not betting on or against one’s team, taking steroids, killing dogs, abusing men or women, or driving while intoxicated. “I realize Pete Rose was a great baseball player, but he had no control over choosing from right and wrong. Why should he be rewarded?” E.E.C.

Cheviot resident Jack Abel celebrates his 94th birthday with Shriners staff.
Cheviot volunteer not stopping at age 94 Being 94 years old doesn’t mean that Cheviot resident Jack Abel slows down at all. In fact, he’s kept his volunteer commitment to Shriners Hospitals for Children for more than 20 years and has no intention of stopping. “I really enjoy working with the people here at the hospital,” states Abel, who has been a member of Syrian Shriners for more than 45 years and a volunteer at the hospital since 1991. “It keeps me young and active. I never miss a day!” As a volunteer, Abel rides with a hospital driver, helping to bring children to the hospital for outpatient treatment and admissions and volunteers in the outpatient clinic, placing identification labels on medical charts. “I became interested in volunteering at the hospital when my cousin began volunteering there and told me
how much he got out of it,” Abel said. “My favorite part about volunteering at Shriners Hospital is getting to see the children and working along side the friendly staff. I believe my cousin was right; it is a very rewarding place to volunteer.” The staff at Shriners hospital truly enjoys working with Abel and appreciates his help. “Jack is dedicated and loves being around the staff and the patients,” says Cindy Foote, R.N., a nurse in the outpatient clinic. “He is willing to help us out in anyway that he can.” Abel recently celebrated his 94th birthday with the staff at the hospital. The clinic staff threw him a birthday celebration complete with cake, balloons and a lot of candles.

The emerging spirituality of imperfection
Some people think Trying to be perfect in being spiritual means anything is a huge mistake. becoming perfect. Not That’s because we’re at all. Throughout the human. centuries there has It’s doubly so when it gradually emerged a comes to the spiritual part of spirituality of imperfecbeing human. It’s said the tion. A spirituality of first prayer of a human is a imperfection says that cry for help. “O God, come Father Lou the first step involves to my assistance, O Lord Guntzelman facing oneself squarely make haste to help me,� (Psalm 70) begins a monasPerspectives and seeing ourselves as we are: mixed-up, tic’s prayer. Bill Wilson, founder of Alco- incomplete, and imperfect. To be human is to be errorholics Anonymous, never did “get religion,� but he did become a prone. We are more than the spiritual man. Through the pain of beasts, less than God, yet somehis life experience he came to real- how we are both. Authors Ernest Kurtz and ize that unless he made connection with a power greater than Katherine Ketcham write, “Spirituhimself, he was lost. He was con- ality helps us first to see, and then vinced that “We must find some to understand, and eventually to spiritual basis for living, else we accept the imperfection that lies at die.� the very core of our human be-ing.�
Spirituality is not a formula to follow; it is a relationship with God. Spirituality is not about competency; it is about intimacy. Spirituality is not about perfection and doing everything right; it’s about connection. In “Messy Spirituality� Michael Yaconelli states, “The way of the spiritual life begins where we are now in the mess of our lives. Accepting the reality of our broken, flawed lives is the beginning of spirituality, not because the spiritual life will remove our flaws but because we let go of seeking perfection and, instead, seek God, the one who is present in the tangledness of our lives.� A more terse description of our flawed nature is contained in O’Neill’s play “The Great God Brown,� “Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of
God is the glue.� Hopefully along the way we become more humble, loving and compassionate. The steps along the way are not ascending some recognizable glorious staircase called ego, but learning to live the ordinariness of our everyday lives. “Don’t fuss too much about yourself, or fight the truth, just accept yourself and grow,� said an old spiritual director. As Henri Nouwen wrote in his “Genesee Diary,� “He who thinks that he is finished is finished. Those who think they have arrived, have lost their way. Those who think they have reached their goal, have missed it. Those who think they are saints, are demons.� The secular world does not encourage people to acknowledge the spiritual aspect of our nature.
Rather it rages against religious systems which they believe deprive us of our desires and physical vitality. David Tacey says of the secularist, “When religion is rejected, it does not mean that the spirit and soul go away or disappear. They are simply repressed into the unconscious where they become factors of disturbance and causes of psychic suffering.� Imperfection is the crack in our armor, the wound that lets God in.

Local lenders best when mortgage issues arise Despite federal efforts to get mortgage lenders to do more to help homeowners remain in the homes, the number of foreclosures continues to increase. More than 200,000 trial loan modifications are now underway, but the government wants double that amount by November. Robin Peach of Burlington is one of those homeowners who have had trouble with her mortgage for the past two years. “I’ve had problems with them in the past, and I started paying them with Quick Collect from Western Union. But, back in March the bank sent two of my payments back to me,� Peach says. A letter from the bank said Peach had defaulted on her mortgage because she owes about $570. But, she says, she has regularly sent in her payment via Western Union. Unfortunately, when she does that all she has is a record of sending the money and no receipt showing the bank actually received it. As a result of the uncertainly, Peach started making her payments by Certified Check but says that hasn’t helped either. “Right now I stand in active foreclosure. They sent another two payments back to me on Saturday. They’re not accepting my money. I’ve got about four grand, almost five grand floating around,� Peach says. A January letter from her bank says she’s behind in
her payments by $2,800, plus $100 in late f e e s . P e a c h says she doesn’t Howard Ain u n d e r how Hey Howard! stand the bank came up with those figures but hasn’t been able to get any answers. She hired an attorney in December but says that hasn’t helped. I had Peach call her bank directly and I got on the line to try to figure out what’s going on. Peach says, “I’m very frustrated. It’s just that I’m very busy at work and I don’t have time to deal with this. But, I have to have a place to live.� Unfortunately, Peach is dealing with an out-of-state lender so she can’t just go over and talk with a manager. Bank officials I talked with on the phone tell me they don’t want her house and would rather she be out of foreclosure. They told me the bank did receive her payments for November and December but just hadn’t applied them to her account. Yet, they applied the January payment before putting her into active foreclosure. I explained how she now has thousands of dollars in payments she can send and bank officials said they will have someone from their repayment team contact her. Officials say that team should finally be able to get all this confusion resolved –
and expressed confidence she could get out foreclosure. Once she gets out of foreclosure Peach says she plans to contact a local savings and loan to see if she
can refinance. I’ve found it’s always best to have your loan serviced by a local bank or savings and loan because, if there’s ever any problem, you have someone you can

Sánchez a new face for Mexican fare Even though I’m a country girl, I’m cityslicker big when it comes to working w i t h celebrity chefs like Rita Tyler FloHeikenfeld rence, Tom Douglas, Rita’s kitchen A n d r e a Robinson, Emeril Lagasse, Martha Stewart’s food editors, Todd English, etc. They’ve all been fun to work with. Add to the list Aarón Sánchez, TV personality, award-winning chef, restaurateur and author. Aarón and I did a video together at Fox 19 promoting his new Azteca Meal Essential line. Aarón’s mom is the famed Zarela Martinez, icon of Mexican cuisine. He began his career as co-host of “Melting Pot” and now has multiple shows. One of those is “Chefs vs.
City,” and he said he might come to Cincinnati and do the show here with me (I’m holding him to that!) I predict Aarón will be at the top of the Food Network star chart in record time. He chatted with everybody, from the anchors to the technicians. The food he prepared with Azteca products was really yummy. The nice thing about the food is that it’s ready to go, but not fast food junk. Aarón made Beef Barbacoa Smothered Burritos. I’ve made enough Mexican food to know authentic when I taste it, and can tell you under his guidance, these folks have come out with some delicious food Look for the new Azteca products at Kroger, WalMart and Meier.

Jane’s delicious chicken salad For
Phil
Jones,
who
loved Hitch’s in Loveland’s chicken salad. “Available through Zapp’s bar. We can’t duplicate the taste,” he said. Nikki Thompson shares this from friend Jane and “everyone always wants the recipe.” The secret is the cayenne so don’t leave it out. Until (or if) we can get Zapp’s try this. 3 pounds skinned chicken breast 491⁄2 oz can chicken broth 1 cup finely chopped celery 1 ⁄2 cup water chestnuts, rinsed and drained 1 ⁄2 cup each: finely chopped red and yellow pepper and red onion 3 cups real mayonnaise 1 ⁄2 to 1 teaspoon ground red cayenne pepper 1 ⁄2 teaspoon each: salt and white pepper Put chicken in pan and add broth. Cover and boil. Simmer 30 minutes until done. Cool 15 minutes. Shred and combine with
celery and water chestnuts. Add peppers and onion. Stir in mayo. Add seasonings. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
Citrus ginger syrup for fruit
I’ve had a couple requests for this. Nice and light. If you don’t have Cointreau or another orange liqueur, augment with a couple of tablespoons of thawed undiluted frozen orange juice. 1 cup orange juice (if it’s fresh, use zest, too, and set that aside as a garnish) 1 cup sugar About 1 tablespoon minced ginger root 2 tablespoons orange liqueur Chopped mint Bring juice, sugar, ginger to a boil. Let simmer until sugar dissolves and syrup is thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in liqueur. Chill until cold. To use, drizzle over fresh fruit and garnish
with chopped mint and zest.

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland
There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
MICHIGAN The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
