Expected to open along North Bend Road in 2013 By Kurt Backscheider

kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Construction is under way on the West Side’s newest hospital. Mercy Health Partners broke ground on Mercy Hospital West during a ceremony Thursday, Oct. 21. The new facility, located off North Bend Road near Interstate 74 in Green Township, will be a 550,000-square-foot hospital with 250 patient beds. It is scheduled to open in 2013. “We’re building Mercy Hospital West to bring new medical services to the West Side in a location that’s easy to get to in an emergency,” said James May, president and chief executive officer of Mercy Health Partners. “This will mark another important milestone in expanding our capabilities and delivering comprehensive, excellent care for residents on the West Side, through every phase of life – from birth through the senior years. “The new hospital will increase the medical services available on the West Side, including a new comprehensive heart care program and centers for heart surgery, cancer treatment, maternity care and orthopedics,” he said. Green Township Trustee Chairman David Linnenberg said when Mercy first announced plans to build a new hospital in Monfort Heights there were many questions as to what impact a full-scale hospital would have on the surrounding neighborhood. He said a real spirit of cooperation emerged between Mercy and the township, and the health care group was willing to work with residents and address their concerns. “I’m proud to welcome Mercy Health Partners to Green Township, and look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship,” Linnenberg said.

He said the campus includes green space, landscaping buffers, a water garden and a walking/biking trail. Designed to be environmentally friendly to reduce pollution, the facility also features a community center, education center and plenty of natural light to promote a healing environment. Linnenberg said as the largest employer in the Monfort Heights/White Oak area, the new hospital will energize the township economy. Not only will it employ about 2,000 people,

but it will also create a demand for new restaurants, shops and other retail businesses in the community, he said. In addition to the heart center, cancer center, maternity care and orthopedic center, May said the hospital will also feature a women’s health center and neurology services. All the patient rooms will be private, and they will be larger to offer more space for friends and family. May said they listened to the community, staff and physicians, and learned the most important responsibility is providing a neighborhood-based system of high-level care. “This is what the new Mercy hospital provides, in combination with our existing network of health care services,” he said. “No longer will patients need to leave the West Side to get all of the medical care they need.” The new hospital is located within five miles of both Mercy Hospital Mount Airy and Mercy Hospital Western Hills in Westwood. When Mercy Hospital West opens the two existing hospitals will transition into the new facility. Staff from the Mount Airy and Western Hills hospitals will have the opportunity to transfer to Mercy Hospital West. “We are truly here only and always because of the needs of our patients,” May said.

Black bear sighting in Green Township By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Tim McWilliams said he was amazed at the image he captured on the video cameras he has set up in his backyard. The Green Township resident recorded what looks to be a black bear wandering through the trees behind his home near Kuliga Park. “I basically said, ‘Wow,’” McWilliams said. “You expect to see raccoon and deer passing through, so it’s amazing to see this black bear walking around.” He said he first spotted the bear in late September. After his neighbor informed him that he saw it, too, McWilliams said he set up several trail cameras in his backyard. “I thought it was a big black cat at first,” he said. “I was a non-believer, but now I have cameras everywhere.” He said on Sept. 25, the cameras captured an image of a black bear. He consulted his family and his

Tim McWilliams neighbor, and then turned to the expertise of Delhi Township resident Bill Reichling, a wildlife enthusiast who has been tracking cougars and other large animals in the Cincinnati area for more than 20 years. Reichling, who works with a group called R&R Animal Trackers and serves as a volunteer field researcher for the Eastern Puma Research Network, said he examined the image and confirmed McWilliams’ belief it was an image of a black bear’s rear end. “I thought, ‘Yeah, that looks like a bear,’” Reichling said. To further confirm whether McWilliams truly had visual evidence of a black bear in Green Township, Reichling contacted

Suzie Prange, a biologist with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources who works out of the state’s Waterloo Wildlife Research Station in Athens. Reichling said they sent the image to Prange and she, too, verified the animal caught on tape was a black bear. “I was just floored when she confirmed it,” McWilliams said. Reichling said an official bear sighting form has been completed and sent to the department of natural resources. He said it’s not that uncommon for black bears to take up residence in western Hamilton County. He said last year he and a group of trackers found some bear droppings near Embshoff Woods in Delhi. The 6,000 miles of streams in the region leading to the Ohio River, steep ravines and vegetation like acorns make the area ideal for bears, he said. “Bears are at least passing through at this point,” he said. “We’re going to continue to track bears, as well as cougars.” Reichling said most bears this

It’s important for people who live near wooded areas to keep their trash cans in a garage or storage area until the night before trash is collected, keep their backyard grills clean of food residue and make sure bird feeders are placed away from the house, he said. If anyone comes into contact with a bear, it’s important they remain calm and do not run, Reichling said. McWilliams said he doesn’t want to send people into a panic about a bear being in Green Township, but he does think it’s important people know bears are out there. “I’m just your average guy who sees things in his backyard,” he said. “People can form their own opinions on whether or not it’s a bear. I’m just telling people what I saw and what I caught on camera. “I get excited that every now and again I might see something like the black bear,” he said.

Richard Luken is new to the politics game, but he does have experience from volunteering on campaigns for John Kerry and John Cranley. The Green Township resident’s run for state representative in Ohio’s 30th District marks his first time running for office himself. If elected on Tuesday, Nov. 2, he said his two main priorities will be reaching out to constituents and changing Ohio’s requirement to report and pay taxes on out-of-state purchases. “It only brings in $2.5 million a year to the state and it turns a lot of people into tax evaders,” he said. “It can lead to a general contempt for our law in general. To make up for that money, it would mean a very small percentage change in the income tax, which I believe is the fairest and most progressive form of taxation.” Luken says he first became interested in politics after witnessing the controversial election year between George W. Bush and Al Gore, and again

Luken Mecklenborg when he went to vote in 2006 and saw that State Sen. Bill Seitz (R-Green Township) was running unopposed in his district. “Democracy means having a real choice,” he said. Born and raised in Cincinnati, Luken described himself as someone with the “standard West Side of Cincinnati background.” He attended St. Xavier and graduated from Ohio University with an English degree. Luken was one thesis short of getting his master’s degree from McGill University in Montreal when he left to work as the technical director for local theater company, Fountain Square Fools. He also briefly taught at a high school in the Cleveland area before returning to Cincinnati, where he works as a self-employed designer. Along his campaign trail, he’s promising voters he’ll

have more office hours, he’ll attend local events and make his contact information available. “I want participation and people to feel the government is theirs,” he said. “Too many people feel the opposite.” State Rep. Bob Mecklenborg may be in the minority as a Republican in the Democrat-controlled Ohio House, but he’s hardly a wallflower. The Green Township attorney was appointed to former State Rep. Bill Seitz’ 30th District seat in October 2007, after Seitz became a state senator. He’s been particularly outspoken – criticizing Gov. Ted Strickland openly on the House floor – about the state budget gap and school funding. As a member of the House Finance Committee, Mecklenborg’s played a key role in challenging the Strickland administration on its budget and steady increase in fees that Meck-

lenborg says “masquerade as taxes.” During voting sessions, he’s known to seek out statehouse reporters to make his opinions known. When Strickland asked legislators to postpone an income tax cut to balance the state budget last fall, Mecklenborg took the Democratic governor to task for breaking campaign promises not to raise taxes. Mecklenborg is a lifelong western Hamilton County resident and a member of the Ohio and Cincinnati Bar Associations. He graduated from St. Xavier High School and earned his bachelor’s degree from Ohio University. He received his law degree from the University of Cincinnati. Previously, he was elected to three terms as law director for the city of Cheviot, served as the solicitor and prosecutor for the Village of Cleves and as an assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor. Mecklenborg and his wife, Jan, live in Green Township, where they have raised three children. He is an attorney with the Dinsmore & Shohl law firm. The 30th District seat includes about 110,000 people in Delhi, Harrison, Green Township and Miami Township.

Cheviot leaders are asking voters to approve a renewal levy when they visit the polls Tuesday, Nov. 2. Voters have to decide whether they want to support a five year, 1.5-mill renewal street levy. The levy generates roughly $84,000 for the city each year and costs the owner of a home with a market value of $100,000 about $14.50 in annual taxes. “It’s a small levy, but nonetheless it’s an important levy,” said Cheviot Mayor Samuel Keller. “This is really the only source of money we have for repairing our streets.”

He said the money from the street levy goes toward repairing and maintaining city roads. Generally the city will repair one major street or two smaller streets each year, he said. Cheviot Safety Service Director Tom Braun said it pays for any street construction the city conducts. He said each year the city applies for grant funding to assist with street projects. The more grant funding the city receives, the more projects it can complete; but in years when grant dollars are limited the revenue from the street levy is all the city has for repairing streets, he said. Braun said this year the street levy money went

Keller Braun toward the rehabilitation of Applegate Avenue. He said next year the city plans to renovate Glenmore Avenue, from Harrison Avenue to the city’s border near Montana Avenue. “It’s a very important levy,” Braun said. Keller said it’s imperative for voters to know the levy is a renewal levy, meaning it will not cost residents any additional money. “It will not raise taxes whatsoever,” he said. “We want to keep our streets as well maintained as we possibly can, and this is the money that allows us to do it,” Keller said.

Take care while driving on Halloween As party-going ghosts and goblins celebrate Halloween this October, Hamilton County OVI Task Force and Safe Communities reminds everyone to keep the party off the road. “There isn’t a Halloween costume clever enough to hide an impaired driver who has made the poor decision to get behind the wheel,” said Jennifer Bierer, Hamilton County Safe Communities coordinator. “Whether you’ve had one too many or way too many it is just not worth the risk. Remember, Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving.” Nighttime is an especially dangerous time to be on the road, but Halloween night is often one of the deadliest nights of the year for impaired drivers.

Driehaus, Robison vie for state rep. seat Gannett News Service Once State Rep. Denise Driehaus’ two children left their West Price Hill home for college, she says she found plenty of time to campaign past sundown and meet many of the 110,000 constituents in the Ohio House’s 31st District. In fact, her son, Andrew Childers, who received his bachelor’s degree in political science last spring from the Ohio State University, is now her campaign’s field representative as she seeks a second two-year term on Tuesday, Nov. 2. Driehaus said during the legislative recess she’s been able to visit schools that she hasn’t been to in years Two years ago, the life-

long West Sider won the seat previously represented by her brother, Steve Driehaus, before he became a congressman. Denise Driehaus successfully sponsored a legislative amendment to guarantee that chartered non-public Catholic schools get additional state funding this year. Driehaus, a Democrat, also sponsored legislation to place a moratorium on home foreclosure until more permanent solutions were found to the state’s housing crisis. But House Bill 3 remains stalled in the

Republican-controlled Ohio Senate. She co-owns and runs Philipps Swim Club on Glenway Avenue, not far from where she lives. She is a former president of the Cincinnati Recreation Commission, and has served on its board for 16 years. Driehaus also serves on the board of the Price Hill Civic Club, is vice president of the West Price Hill Merchants Association and has served on the Hamilton County Democratic Executive Committee for many years. She is vice-chair of the House Economic Development Committee and a member of the Finance and Appropriations Committee,

the Housing and Urban Development Committee and the Education Committee. Mike Robison touts himself as a new name and fresh face looking to represent Ohio’s 31st District. The idea to start running for a state representative seat came at the urging of community groups, he said. If elected, the Republican candidate listed his top priority as jobs. To do that, he said, Ohio will need to lower taxes and cut regulations for businesses to compete with Indiana and Kentucky. “We need to roll out the red carpet and have big welcome signs,” he said. “Where the businesses are, that’s where the jobs are.” He talked specifically

about House Bill 144, which gives income tax credit to Ohio residents who complete their college degrees. The bill, he said, is a good way to “keep the best and brightest Ohio graduates.” He also supports House Bill 277, which provides a $2,400 tax credit for employers who hire someone who was previously without a job. A lifelong West Sider, the Westwood resident grew up in Price Hill and graduated from Elder High School, where he is still on the alumni board of directors. He is taking classes at the University of Cincinnati and said he is close to completing a bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership.

Driehaus Robison In the past, he helped with the campaign for former Congressman Steve Chabot. He’s also worked on campaigns for Clerk of Courts Patricia Clancy and Julie Stautberg, who was a Hamilton County Municipal Court judge. Before becoming a chief human resources officer for the county’s Clerk of Courts, he was an assistant administrator for the department when it was under Greg Hartmann, who is now county commissioner. His main philosophy, he said, is “lower taxes, less regulation, less red tape.”

Tim Sisson harbors a strong case of biophilia. That love of the natural world serves him well as president of the Western Wildlife Corridor, or WWC, a nonprofit land trust that’s been quietly acquiring, protecting and restoring green space and wooded hillsides along the Ohio River on the West Side, from the Mill Creek to the Indiana border. Sisson, 68, likens the corridor to “an emerald necklace along the Ohio River valley.” One of its largest and brightest gems is the new Bender Mountain Preserve,

a 55-acre parcel co-owned by the WWC and Delhi Township and maintained by the WWC. What will set Bender Mountain apart from the WWC’s other properties is its accessibility: The township plans to complete a trailhead on Hillside Avenue this fall, Sisson said. “What it will give us is an active, formal, set trail system that we can direct people to,” Sisson said. “It’s an example of what we do that people can go out and see for themselves.” A hilltop property along Bender Road, which runs between River and Delhi roads, Bender Mountain

Old-growth eastern deciduous trees and spring wildflowers provide a habitat for rabbits, squirrels, deer, red fox, wild turkey, opossum and coyotes, plus a slew of birds. “It’s a real nice complete ecosystem,” Sisson said. Habitat restoration – removing invasive plants such as Amur (or bush) honeysuckle – is critical to protecting that natural biodiversity. “Honeysuckle shades out everything else; you don’t get the saplings; you lose the ability of the soil to capture rainwater,” Sisson said. “If you don’t have native plants, you aren’t going to have native animals as much, because they survive on the native plants.” The WWC owns or protects about 200 acres, stretching as far east as

During the last 18 years, the Western Wildlife Corridor, led by president Tim Sisson, has been quietly acquiring, protecting and restoring green space and wooded hillsides along the Ohio River on Cincinnati’s West Side. ($20 and up, on a sliding scale), its spring “flower-athon” fundraiser and donations. The Greater Cincinnati Foundation, the Clean Ohio Fund and the Hamilton County Park District have also provided funding and grants. “As is normal for nonprofits, you just scramble for money any way you can,” Sisson said. As president, Sisson spends 20 to 25 hours each week coordinating activities for the all-volunteer group, which has about 50 volunteers (including a 14-member board) and about 200 members. But he’s also more than willing to get his own hands dirty, going out in the forest several times a week to work on habitat restoration. “Tim is definitely a guiding influence,” said Leesa Miller, a board member and outreach chairwoman for the group. “He’s so motivated that he motivates other people. He’s a really good inspiration” to the group’s other dedicated volunteers, she said.

Formed as a committee of Imago Earth Center in Price Hill 18 years ago, the group split off to become its own nonprofit in 1992 and received its first property, the 14-acre Delshire Woods in Delhi, as a donation in 1996. Sisson, a retired mechanical engineer who lives in Delhi, got involved in 2000 and has been president for six years. He’s seen the organization grow “four or five fold” during the last decade, as the group changed its philosophy and began to buy properties, starting with the 9-acre Whitetail Woods in Sayler Park, which it bought in 2008 for $70,000.

The Oak Hills Local School District is introducing a new dimension in learning for students this year. The Online Collaborative Learning Environment is opening the traditional classroom to anywhere, anytime learning. In the process, students are learning to navigate various online platforms – a critical skill necessary for successful future endeavors. “We feel it’s very important for students to develop habits of adaptability, and to be able to move from platform to platform,” said Tracy Pirkle, district Director of Curriculum and eLearning. “We are looking at what our students might experience when they leave Oak Hills – whether it is post-secondary schooling or a post-secondary work environment, we want them to be as prepared for that as they can.” Teachers are receiving professional devel-

divide learning between the school campus and online and real-world activities. Zach VanderVeen, district eLearning coach and developer, said students are encouraged to take their learning to new levels. “You hate to kill the curiosity or engagement when the bell rings,” he said. “Now, they can go to the online forum after class and keep the discussion going.” Pirkle said schools must keep pace with and accommodate the increasing use of electronic devices by students. “They’re a mile-a-minute, electronically, and they’re excited about it. They are constantly communicating in this way,” she said. “We’re trying to harness that excitement and use that for learning. If you can grab that interest and spark their curiosity, they will continue learning when they leave the classroom.”

One-stop access

In addition to offering online course and study options anywhere and at anytime, Oak Hills offers a onestop portal where students, staff and parents can work together to manage learning. Guidelines for acceptable computer use, the student handbook, information for parents and students, and the online grading system, are among the resources in this learning management system. Additional electronic tools such as Polycom video conferencing, VBrick for streaming live video, web 2.0 tools such as blogs and wikis, and using ipod touch pilots as classroom tools are also part of the eLearning experience. “It is a place for students, staff, and parents to access many of the electronic tools we use as a learning community,” said Tracy Pirkle, director of eLearning for the district.

Cheviot student award DAV scholarship Christopher Davis dreams of one day becoming a middle school teacher. The 19-year old graduate of La Salle High School is studying in the university classroom, while spending numerous hours as a volunteer at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Cincinnati. Davis’ dedication and volunteer service is paying off in a number of ways. The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) has recognized his efforts with a $7,500 Jesse Brown Memorial Youth Scholarship, which is one of the top awards in the program supported by Ford Motor Co. Fund. “I am very excited to receive this scholarship,” said Davis. “I appreciate the support of Ford Motor Co. and the DAV.” The money will certainly come in handy as Davis begins classes at Cincinnati State Community and Technical College, but the scholarship is just one part of his rewarding efforts on behalf of the DAV. Since 2007, he has worked as a volunteer at the Veterans Affairs Med-

ical Center, placing special emphasis on helping disabled veterans. He helps escort veterans to their doctor’s appointments and makes sure that they have transportation available. “The women and men who come into the Veterans Affairs Medical Center have given a lot to our country, so I am glad to help give a little back to them,” he said. Davis was one of 12 outstanding young volunteers nationally recognized by DAV with scholarships for generously giving their time to help veterans in their local community. In addition to a $25,000 contribution to the scholarship program, Ford Motor Co. Fund once again donated $200,000 for the purchase of seven new vehicles for the DAV Transportation Network. Volunteers use the vans to take sick and disabled veterans to appointments at VA medical centers. Since 1996, Ford has donated 148 vans, worth more than $3.5 million to the DAV. Ford and the DAV have a partnership that stretches back nearly 90 years.

Athlete of the week

Oak Hills High School Athlete of the Week, senior Michael Beam, is a valuable asset to the Highlander boys’ soccer program. As a freshman, he was named to the varsity roster by the Beam head coach at the time, coach Chuck Ausman. Considering Ausman’s reputation and his dedicated work in soccer both around Cincinnati and the state of Ohio Youth programs, that should speak volumes about the this player and the talent he possesses. Now, as a senior, Beam is among a small group of high school students that can claim the recognition of being a four-year varsity player. He has consistently improved his game and has contributed to the program, mostly as starter, for the last four years. Every year brought new challenges for him; learning to play with different groups of players, improving upon his skills, and learning a little bit more each season about how to work with the coaching staff to better understand the game. The hard work has paid off. He is currently amongst the leaders (top three) in the GMC in statistics, which also lists him amongst some of the elite players in the city. He currently has 30 points, 11 goals and eight assists. This is impressive considering the schedule the school plays. He has had some big contributions in important games over the last couple seasons. During this senior year, he has been a two-sport athlete. He has also contributed to the football program as a special teams’ player.

Highlanders aim to get over the hump Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

Fifth. It’s a spot that has defined the Oak Hills High School boys’ cross country team for the last year. In 2009, the Highlanders finished fifth at regionals – one spot short of qualifying for state – behind St. Xavier, Mason, La Salle and Elder. This season, those same four teams have been rated ahead of Oak Hills, which is ranked fifth in the city. “On paper, we’re (on the outside looking in),” Oak Hills head coach Joe Zeinner said, referring to his team’s odds of advancing to state this year. “But we have no problem being an underdog. Right now, the guys are

Oak Hills had 75 team points to finish behind Mason (39) and St. Xavier (44). Senior Cody Lacewell (15:53.53) led the Highlanders with a second-place finish. Sophomore Blake Meyer (16:34.96), junior David Kohlbrand (16:43.64) and senior Travis Troxell (16:45.37) had right on pace for where they need to be.” Oak Hills finished second of 14 teams at the Elder “Fr.

The girls’ team finished fifth at districts – one spot short of qualifying for regionals. Junior Maggie Bischoff (19:45.87) advanced to regionals. She finished 13th overall. totaled 55 points, finished second to Elder (31), which had four of the top five finishers. The following week, Oak Hills (60) finished second to Mason (37) at the Greater

Miami Conference Meet Oct. 16 at Voice of America Park in West Chester. Three Highlanders – senior Cody Lacewell, junior David Kohlbrand and sophomore Blake Meyer – earned first-team all-league honors, while seniors Brett Frondorf and Travis Troxell and sophomore Ross Frondorf were second-team allstars. “We have a really good group of seniors,” Zeinner said. “They’re a bunch of leaders.” Lacewell has more than solidified the Highlanders’ No.1 spot. He broke the school record – his time of 15:47 surpassed the previous mark of 15:50, held by 2010 graduate Izak Velasquez – and he placed in the top five in every reg-

ular-season race. “We told him we’d need single digits from him every race, and he goes out and does it,” Zeinner said. After Lacewell, any Oak Hills runner is capable of finishing second through fifth. “Our second-team guys could’ve easily been firstteam guys,” Zeinner said. Oak Hills knows it has a steep postseason mountain to climb. La Salle and Elder have both spent time as the top-ranked team in Ohio this year, and Mason, led by two-time state champion Zach Wills, is also dangerous. St. Xavier, meanwhile, has advanced to state each of the last four years. “We’re waiting for someone to have a hiccup,” Zeinner said.

Taylor senior quarterback Jason Sauer had two touchdown passes to senior Alex Ober, but the Yellow Jackets struggled defensively, allowing 390 passing yards and five touchdowns to Wyoming quarterback Kyle Seyfried. Taylor (3-6, 1-5), which has lost four straight and six of seven, closes the regular season at home against Finneytown Oct. 29.

Taft 16, Western Hills 0

The Mustangs trailed just 6-0 at halftime but were shut out for the first time this season.

Elder 21, Carmel Catholic (Ill.) 14

Elder senior Ben Coffaro scored the game-winning touchdown on an 8-yard run with 29 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Coffaro finished the game with 22 touches for 77 yards and two scores. Senior Jacob Lindsey got the Panthers on the board with an 18-yard fumble recovery in the first quarter. Elder (3-5, 0-2) closes out the regular season against La Salle at The Pit Oct. 29. The Lancers are gunning for their first outright league title in school history.

St. Xavier 19, St. Ignatius 9

St. X junior tailback Conor Hundley carried 28 times for 90 yards and a touchdown, while senior Max James carried 10 times for 54 yards and a score. Hundley led the Bombers with two receptions; junior Evan Ballinger finished with a teamhigh 23 receiving yards. Junior quarterback Griffin Dolle was 6-of-13 for 56 yards and an interception. St. X held the Wildcats to -15 rushing yards. Defensively, Steven Daniels had three sacks – he now has a city-best 16.0 – and Andrew Arand (two) and Connor Buczek (one) combined for three interceptions. The Bombers close the regular season at 5-4 (1-2). They entered Week 9 ranked No. 8 in the Harbin Ratings and are projected to earn a playoff spot.

Elder’s Walsh performs at state By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

For some people, Brennen Walsh might not have been the first guess. Walsh, a sophomore, was the lone underclassman on an Elder High School golf team that qualified for districts; teammates and former all-league performers Michael Schwarz, Daniel Schwarz and Kevin Haas all fared splendidly this year; and Walsh’s game, in his words, “was up and down all season.” Nevertheless, Walsh, who shot a 72 to finish third at districts Oct. 13 at Weatherwax, was the lone Panther to advance to the OHSAA State Boys Golf Championships, which were Oct. 22-23 at The Ohio State University Scarlet Golf Course in Columbus. “I think my teammates

were kind of surprised,” said Walsh, who was the only sophomore in the state to qualify as an individual, “but they were really happy for me.” Elder golf coach Mike Trimpe didn’t necessarily expect Walsh to advance to state, but he wasn’t surprised that he did. “He’s had a club in his hand every day since the end of last season,” Trimpe said. “During the match, he was in (the zone). After the match was over, he was most concerned about whether the team would advance.” The team did not. Elder, which shot a 312, tied for fifth with Lakota East and finished behind stateadvancers Moeller (287), St. Xavier (302) and Centerville (305). “We had hoped to do better because we thought we were capable of (going

Elder sophomore Brennen Walsh practices days before the state championships. Walsh was the only sophomore in Ohio to qualify for state as an individual. to state),” Trimpe said. “But I’m proud of our guys because nobody quit out there. They gave it all they had.”

Although the Panthers didn’t advance to state as a team, they traveled to Columbus to support Walsh, who shot a 170 to

finish tied for 48th overall. Columbus St. Charles won state as a team, and senior Michael Ricaurte (144) finished first overall. Walsh, who said he typically plays better under pressure, plans to get stronger during the winter to improve his driving distance. “He knows he doesn’t hit the ball as long as some of the older guys,” Trimpe said, “so he has to hit the ball straight, which he does, and he has to have a good short game, which he does.” Walsh's primary goal for next year is to help Elder advance to state as a team. “Even though it’s awesome going to state as an individual, I’d much rather go with my team,” he said. “I want to thank my team, my coach and definitely my family. They all played a huge part in this.”

Robison: Driehaus: New voice, new direction Positioning state for future I am a lifelong West Sider, and a first time candidate running for Ohio’s 31st House District. Since making the decision to enter this race, challenging a well-known incumbent, I’ve been working extra hard to get my name Mike and message out to the Robison voters, informing them of why I believe we deserve Community better leadership in Press guest Columbus. columnist Our district, like much of Ohio, is dealing with real challenges. Voters will decide which direction they want to head. If you are happy with 10 percent unemployment, record deficits, and wasteful spending with no end in sight, then you are being well represented by my opponent, incumbent State Rep. Denise Driehaus. However, if you are ready for a change, a real change, then I offer a new voice. Denise Driehaus says she’s a champion for schools, but she voted three times to cut $60 million of state funding to parochial schools, hurting schools like Elder, Seton, Mercy, La Salle, and others. I am a graduate of St. Teresa of Avila and Elder High School, serve on the Elder Alumni Board, so I know the value of these schools in our community. I will fight to restore the funding she cut. I will also fight to send more money into the classroom in all schools instead of the bloated bureaucracy. Driehaus says she understands small business and how to create jobs in Ohio, but she voted for an additional $2 billion in taxes and fees to be put on the backs of small business owners and taxpayers. I

understand that small businesses are treading water just trying to stay afloat. Many have left for Indiana or Kentucky, where they have lower taxes, less cumbersome regulations, and less red tape. We need to compete with neighboring states, and that’s why the NFIB (the Voice of Small Business) endorsed me. And while Ohio’s unemployment rate remains higher than the national average, and an $8 billion dollar deficit looms in the future, Driehaus and her liberal colleagues were irresponsible in increasing spending by $10 billion. Driehaus indicated her support for Obamacare, saying it’s the right thing to do. She supports a 39 mph train between here and Cleveland, that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and need to be subsidized by the government in the future. Denise Driehaus is not representing the people of the West Side, she is representing the agenda of her party leadership. I believe that our safety is key in keeping our neighborhoods beautiful while controlling crime and blight, and that is why the Fraternal Order of Police endorsed my campaign. I am the only candidate endorsed by the Greater Cincinnati Right to Life PAC, because I am clear where my values lie and they are confident I will be the voice for our unborn. The choice is clear. More of the same, or a new direction. Let’s put people before politics. I ask for your vote. Together we can get Ohio back on track! Mike Robison is the Republican candidate for the 31st House District. The district is made up of parts of Cincinnati, Cheviot, part of Miami Township, Addyston, North Bend and Cleves.

I am a lifelong West Sider. I raised my children here, volunteer in the community, and have invested as a small business owner. In 2008, I ran for the first time for elected office. I now serve as your state representative. It has been my privilege to work on behalf of the people of the 31st House District. I am taking steps at the state level to create jobs, keep people in their homes, invest in education, and position Ohio for future growth. I supported legislation to create new jobs in emerging industries in Ohio through the Third Frontier. In September, for the sixth consecutive month we saw unemployment drop in Ohio. To continue in this positive direction, we must invest in logistics and education, because they are two of the primary reasons businesses come to Ohio. As a small business owner, I have created jobs in the private sector and I have a firm understanding of the business climate in Ohio. The Ohio Chamber of Commerce has endorsed me because they understand that private sector experience is critical in understanding job creation. I have also been endorsed by the AFL-CIO because of my advocacy on behalf of working families. We are on the right track, but more needs to be done. We need to continue to invest in the areas that will promote future growth in our state. For the first time in over 50 years, the size of the state budget was reduced. State spending has decreased. Business taxes and personal taxes have been cut in Ohio. Government is more efficient and we are reining in spending. The budget was balanced and we are living within our means.

I have chosen to lead by example and cut my own pay. In these difficult times, we should expect nothing less from our leaders. We took on a broken school funding system and made progress in fixing it. Denise I have been a strong advoDriehaus cate on behalf of public schools and the Catholic Community Conference of Ohio has Press guest called me a “great champicolumnist on” of Catholic schools. I have worked hard to ensure that education is a priority in Ohio. I helped to author and pass out of the House legislation to stem the tide of foreclosures and to stabilize our communities. This legislation would keep our property values stable and our communities free of blight. I introduced legislation to protect our Citizens on Patrol who serve as the eyes and ears of the police and keep our communities safe. I promised to work in a bi-partisan manner, and I have done so. As a result of my ability to reach across the aisle to get things done, I have received the endorsement of Ohio Right to Life among many other organizations. Many politicians run negative campaigns and attack their opponents. You deserve better. I have chosen to talk about what I have accomplished and my vision as we move Ohio forward. I believe in candor, honesty, and respect. I would appreciate your support. Denise Driehaus is the Democratic candidate for the 31st House District. The district is made up of parts of Cincinnati, Cheviot, part of Miami Township, Addyston, North Bend and Cleves.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Don’t act out

As an avid senior golfer (not so good) I see so many of my golfing buddies taking the game so seriously that they occasionally throw clubs and emit a few expletives when they have a bad shot or two. They seem to forget how lucky we are just to be able to participate in this wonderful game. I always am reminded of what Lou Holtz (former Notre Dame coach) said in his book. One day Lou was playing golf with the golf coach, and during the round Lou let a few clubs and a few expletives fly. Later on in the round Lou asked the golf coach if he had any tips for him. The answer was “Yes I do, Mr. Holtz … you are not good enough to act like that.” Don Huber, Cleves

Everyone to blame

In response to Mernie Smith’s letter about “Impartial poll?” in the Enquirer favoring Republicans: She’s half right. Republicans are to blame but so are the Democrats. While George Bush lost his way, President Obama is off the map. This time I’m voting and watching and shame on the politicians who fail us. If you fail your constituents, I hope you will be voted out. I’m 55 years old and feel the need to wake up for my grandchildren’s sake because the moral decline of this country is frightening. Personal responsibility has been replaced with dependence on the government. The government has created so many agencies to waste our money that none of them operate efficiently. We need term limits. Fiscal responsibility, free markets and limited government, which are the core values of the Cincinnati Tea Party, have

a nice sound to it. Help take back America. Please, get out and vote on Nov. 2. Your future depends on it. Donna Bruce, Cleves

Ostendorf responds

As Kathy Goedl said, I was a democrat in the 1980s, but that ended when Bill Clinton said it was OK to suck out the brains of a child. As far as her saying that I could be part of the solution, I am confused. How is killing the unborn and calling it choice part of a solution; how is going in debt at the rate of $200 million per hour part of a solution; how is having an unfunded debt of $110 trillion part of a solution; how is having social programs that reward bad behavior part of a solution? Kathy, with respect to your opinion, for me, being a Democrat comes at too high a price. Am I any better off being a Republican? I liked the first contract with America, but Republicans lost their way and I ended up no better off. As to the second contract, sequels are often disappointing. The one thing Republicans have on their side; history tells me that a Republican Congress spends less. Regardless of party, Congress has become a “greed infested cesspool” and earmarks are the “corruptive sludge” at its core. Eliminate earmarks and all Americans will benefit. Al Ostendorf, Cheviot

Steve Driehaus suing pro-life

Congressman Steve Driehaus has sued the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List for stating the truth that he voted for taxpayer-funded abortion in the federal health care bill. He claims that an executive

order signed by President Obama fixes abortion-funding problems. This executive order is proof that Democratic leadership knows federally funded abortion is in the bill. But it’s a false front because an executive order cannot change or override existing law, which this bill is. The non-partisan Congressional Research Office has even issued a report confirming that the executive order “does not specifically address (federally established state insurance plans) high-risk pools and the funds provided” in this bill. The Susan B. Anthony List is right. Driehaus promised to ensure that health care reform includes real protection for innocent unborn babies, but instead he gave Speaker Pelosi and President Obama one of the votes needed to pass a pro-abortion bill … and now he is suing a pro-life organization. Paula Westwood, Executive director Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati

Denise Driehaus is pro-life

I have been married to Denise Driehaus for over 25 years. She has always been a person who was willing to work hard and stand up for what she believes. Denise has always been prolife. It hasn't always made her the most popular person in her party, but she has never wavered in her commitment to protecting life at all stages. That is why Ohio Right to Life has endorsed her candidacy. That her opponents are now questioning her commitment to this stand is the lowest form of political discourse. It is shameful. People deserve to know the truth, and the fact of the matter is that Denise Driehaus is pro-life across the board, from conception

to natural death. Mark Childers, West Price Hill

For what do you stand?

I have yet to see a television campaign message that has any meaning to me. I have absolutely no interest in hearing a candidate speak for his or her opponent. I want to hear what the candidate has to say about his or her values such as personal and social responsibility, what steps the candidate will take to improve the economy and what the candidate will do to cut back on salaries and benefits for public servants. I will not contribute a penny to the campaign of a candidate who runs political messages attempting to communicate what his or her opponent does or does not do. I am more than a little tired of all the polarity in politics. Where are the values and higher moral ground on which all Americans running for office can work together and cooperate? From my viewpoint, Wall Street does not have a corner on greed nor do poor people have a corner on irresponsibility. Can our public servants refrain from criticizing the splinter in someone else’s eyes and focus on the plank in their own eyes? Dear candidates and fellow Americans, for what moral values do you stand? What steps will you take to incorporate those values into public policy, and why should I vote for you? What are you doing to reduce the strife and polarity in politics and are you a person of honesty, integrity, thrift and cooperation? What will you do to improve the economy and protect people who are vulnerable and disadvantaged? Please give us voters candidates for whom we are proud to vote. The lesser of two evils is not

good enough for us. Fellow voters, let us demand more of candidates for public office than television messages that tell us nothing about their values and their plans for our future. Joyce Rogers, Covedale

Pro-life important in race

In this tough economic environment, it is very easy to forget about the social issues that are dear to so many hearts here on the West Side. Rep. Denise Driehaus continues to describe herself as a pro-life Democrat, and I hope that she does support life in her personal decisions. When a citizen is elected to public office, however, it is not just a matter of what she supports personally, but instead, what she supports with her votes. When Right to Life surveyed Rep. Driehaus concerning her position on various life issues, she answered the questionnaire with catch-all phrases and loopholes. For example, she said, “I will support legislation to ban abortion … except in cases where the mother's health is in jeopardy” - a pretense often used to obtain an abortion. See www.cincinnatirighttolife.org for other responses. Such responses are probably the reason why Cincinnati Right to Life PAC chose not to endorse her. The most informed branch of Right to Life is the local chapter, and that organization has endorsed pro-life candidate, Mike Robison for Ohio District 31. This should carry a lot of weight with Westsiders who agree that any legislation that permits the destruction of unborn children needs to be opposed. Denise Driehaus may claim to be a pro-

It is a decision on the direction of Hamilton County and its future. I am a Republican who is fiscally responsible, believes in individual freedoms, small government, free enterprise and family values. On the other hand, my opponent represents more of the same tax and spend policies, which are the wrong thing to do in these tough economic times. My opponent also supports the $128 million streetcar and

accountability. Being a leader is about this core set of principles and values. This is why I am running for Hamilton County Commissioner, to bring these common sense values to the commission. It’s time for a change; the county needs someone who will stand for principles and values.

I am that needed change and this is why I am asking for your vote on Nov. 2. Every year I have been on Cincinnati City Council I have led the fight to rollback our property taxes,

I also led the fight for the City Charter amendment, which froze City Council’s automatic pay increases, saving taxpayers thousands of dollars over the past several years – which my opponent voted against it. On Tuesday, Nov. 2, the voters in Hamilton County have an opportunity to decide who will represent them as county commissioner in the fall elections. They will determine who best represents the principles and values of Hamilton County. Please exercise your right to vote. Vote Tuesday, Nov. 2 and please vote Monzel!

To my younger self, George was the kind of person I valued and admired: George was a father (of six kids no fewer); he worked as a professional musician to support his family; he was a passionate advocate in the arena of justice and equity for people who are blind or visually impaired; and he made people laugh with his wit and humor. I am not sure about his bowling ability. George Coorey was one of the founders of our Greater Cincinnati Chapter of the American Council of the Blind of Ohio in 1979, and he remained an active member all his life. The American Council of the Blind (ACB) is a national, state and local organization of blind and sighted people

One quotation on display at George’s visitation was from a grandchild who said, “I will miss you, Grandpa, for all those stupid questions you asked us, questions that you knew we knew the answers to, just so we could feel smart.”

erty? Why or why not? “Of course not. If the First Amendment is meant to protect anything, it’s political speech on private property.” M.S.

Do you think communities should regulate the number and sizes of political signs people can display on private prop-

To members of ACB, George will forever be a model to inspire us, to challenge us, and to lead us forward in our never-ending tasks. When our chapter worked on getting audible traffic signals installed in downtown Cincinnati, when we worked with Hamilton County on making voting machines accessible, and when we needed to tell the library board of trustees a thing or two about how we loved our library for the blind; George was there. When we got House Rule 3101 and Senate Rule 3304 passed in Washington, D.C., this summer, we are sure George was there with us feeling our elation, our triumph, and our power. On Oct. 5, President Obama signed that legislation, the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act into law, so we people who are blind or visually impaired and we who are deaf/blind have greater access to new technology. We thank you, George, for your spirit of advocacy and your vision of “liberty and justice for all.” Joyce Rogers is a resident of Morado Drive in Covedale.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR From A10 life Democrat, but her answers to the survey tell me that she is definitely not a pro-life candidate. Joan Loebker, Delhi Township

Chabot missing

Oct. 18, I attended the Faith & Values Summit at the Cincinnati Museum Center. It was indeed an aweinspiring event with our concerned and active legislators. It was a bipartisan effort thanks to Bill Seitz. He and the Democratic leaders shared their plans and pending bills that help with the very basic needs in our community. Glaring vacancy: Steve Chabot! He declined the invitation. Is he embarrassed that he has never done anything to solve basic human issues while in office? (No votes here.) Cordray has a bill to fight fraud in the foreclosure mess. Congressman Steve Driehaus voted consumer finance protection, bankruptcy and health care bills. Gov. Ted Strickland gave a compassionate look at his former work as a minister and mentor at Lucasville prison, the expungement bill he and Seitz are working on, helping employers hire those who have completed their debt to society. State Rep. Connie Pillich, with the FBI helps folks exploited, trapped in human trafficking. Rep. Denise Driehaus is stabilizing the family with House Bill 3 in Ohio. These dedicated people have come together to advance the human cause. It’s incomprehensible how the Republicans could smear these good people with vicious attack ads. Ann Thompson, Green Township

Penny saved, penny shared

Where is your change at the end of the day? Is it in a pile on a dresser, in a jar on the kitchen counter, or in the bottom of your purse or backpack? We all have loose change that doesn’t really amount to much unless it is kept track of toward a rainy day prize or maybe a Merry Christmas for a family in need. The Three Rivers Community Giving Tree is hoping that families will accept our “Change Challenge.” Why not designate a collection spot somewhere in your home for everyone’s extra coins to be placed each evening? When Nov. 19 comes around, have a

family outing to one of the Giving Tree sites (Sullivan’s Family Foods, Cincinnati Federal Savings and Loan, Curves, Brossart’s Pharmacy, Presidents Federal Credit Union) and select ornaments that represent the needs of a less fortunate area family. Continue your family’s lesson about sharing by shopping for these gifts with your Change Challenge coins. Completing this experience means wrapping the gifts and returning them to the tree site by Dec. 5. The effort of saving, the fun of a family shopping adventure and the satisfaction of completing a task based on caring and sharing will produce smiles for two families … yours and theirs. Giving Trees start Nov. 19. Change Challenge jars can start now! Darlene West Three Rivers Community Giving Tree Committee

Ohio RTL supports Denise Driehaus

Voters in the 31st District have the opportunity to reelect a pro-life member of the Ohio House of Representatives. Denise Driehaus has the experience and commitment to continue to advocate our pro-life agenda within state government. Her experience working and advocating on behalf of the unborn within the Democratic caucus has been critical during the past two years. Denise fought to include funding for the College Pregnant and Parenting Student Offices program and worked behind the scenes to have the state apply for federal funding. Driehaus also stood with us as we battled to have our teenage oratory contest winner receive a resolution on the House floor. Denise Driehaus defended the prolife position against members of the Democratic caucus regarding provisions of House Bill 293 and HB 333, which required health care providers to offer the morning-after pill despite religious and moral objections. Rep. Driehaus has a thorough understanding of what is important to the residents of the West Side of Cincinnati. Re-electing prolife Democrat Denise Driehaus ensures that we maintain and even grow our voice and influence. It is critical to have a pro-life voice in the Democratic caucus and Denise is a strong voice for us. Michael Gonidakis, Executive director Ohio Right to Life

Leon Wieseltier in his book “Kaddish,” derides what he sees as the American preoccupation with moving on, “closure,” tidying up painful experiences and memories. “Americans really believe that the past is past,” he writes. “They do not know that the past soaks the present like the light of a distant star. Things that are over do not end. They come inside us and seek sanctuary in subjectivity. And there they live on, in the consciousness of

individuals and communities.” Is what he says about our obsession with moving on and obtaining closure true? I believe so. The most repressed and banished fear we carry around is death anxiety. We are afraid of death, we don’t like to be around it, we exercise and diet to avoid it, we don’t talk about it. Men, much more than women, are struck dumb in dealing with such sensitive issues. Woody Allen, speaking for many men, relies on humor to avoid dealing with death. Allen said once, “I don’t mind dying, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” Whether it be excessive death anxiety or lack of social graces, we can still learn to be of support to grieving people – not just in the immediacy of their loss, but over the long haul. During many subsequent weeks

or months we can genuinely ask how they’re doing, be willing to really listen if it appears they wish to talk a little, and not just presuppose “they should be over it by now.” After one of my sisters died, a remaining sister received a card and kind expressions of consolation But after two weeks it was never mentioned again. We never “get over” the major joys and sorrows of our lives. Sure, we like to talk and share our joys. But our sorrows always remain heavier to bear alone. Yet realistically, every one of us must learn to do that despite all the caring support we receive. That’s just part of being an imperfect human with a vulnerable heart.

High-risk insurance plans now being offered Although health insurance reform is on the books, many provisions won’t kick in for a few years. Yet some things, like high risk health pools, took effect in September. This comes as a relief to many who have pre-existing conditions. Donna Griffin of Kennedy Heights lost her job last year and has been keeping her health coverage by paying for Cobra Insurance. She has a condition requiring her to take pain medication, and that’s causing problems. “Now that my Cobra

Insurance is getting ready to run out, I’m having problems getting health insurance. Howard Ain I’m being Hey Howard! d e n i e d because I have a pre-existing condition,” she said. Several health insurance companies cited her spinal cord implant as the reason for denying her coverage, while another would only give her coverage if she paid a monthly premium exceed-

ing $760. “I have bills to pay, books for school, so I’m at a dead-end road and that’s why I called you, so you could help me and all the others out there who are having the same problem I’m running into,” Griffin said. So I told her about a new high-risk pool in Ohio run by Medical Mutual of Ohio. “I’ve never heard of it and I’ve been on the computer looking. You’re the first person I heard mention this,” said Griffin. I had her go online and see this is part of Health Care Reform – The Patient

Protection and Affordable Care Act that became law March 23. Ohio is one of 30 states running its own high-risk pool, and it has two plans. The first plan has a $1,500 deductible and the second plan – costing less money – has a $2,500 deductible. You can pick the plan that’s best for you. Griffin put her information into the website and found a plan that will cost her $365 a month, which is less than she’s paying now. “I can deal with that,” she said. The only problem with

Add some spice to the mix with Buffalo hot sauce Last week I shared two of my favorite Halloween recipes on Channel 19’s morning show with Sheila Gray and Dan Wells (who was filling in for Rob Williams). Afterwards, Ashley Whittle, the producer, was telling me about a Buffalo chex mix she tasted while producing a TV show in Tennessee. She said it was so good that everyone kept coming back for more. Ashley shared it with me so I can now share it with you. (The video of my Fox 19 cooking segment is on my “Cooking with Rita” blog at http://news.cincinnati.com/opinion/blogs). And I’m finally getting caught up with your requests. See my “can you help “ section at the end of this article.

I’m willing to bet there are more recipes for this than fingers on my hands. I like to share this in the autumn because that’s when you can find the glossy brown buckeyes that have dropped from the trees. My dear friend, Fran Nordman, and her daughter, Gabrielle, made almost 700 of these for Gabrielle’s wedding! I make the base mixture ahead, form into balls and freeze. They stay just fine for six months or so. You can divide the recipe in half or even double it.

Wegman not afraid of bats

PROVIDED.

Ann Wegman, of Bridgetown, animal resources coordinator at Cincinnati Museum Center, with the bat “Alex.” The big brown bats will make an appearance at BatFest, the annual celebration of all things bats at Museum Center on Saturday, Oct. 30.

As she removes him from his cage, Ann Wegman of Bridgetown talks to the fuzzy creature who she calls Alex. After seeing the gentleness of the creature, it is hard to believe that anybody could ever be scared of him. Alex belongs to the only group of flying mammals in the world- bats. He resides at the Cincinnati Museum Center along with 38 other big brown bats, a native species to Ohio. As animal resources coordinator at Cincinnati

Museum Center, Wegman is responsible for caring for the live animals in the museum, including the two bat colonies. Wegman was part of the original team that collected the bats for Museum Center in 1991. The big brown bats will make an appearance at BatFest, the annual celebration of all things bats at Museum Center on Saturday, Oct. 30. This year’s celebration includes bat flight demonstrations, presentations on bat ecology, and a children’s

costume parade. Visitors can also look on as members of the local caving organization, The Grotto, take to the skies as they climb the Rotunda. One of the goals of BatFest is to help disprove popular myths about bats and focus on their positive impact in our environment. “BatFest is a chance for the public to get close to and learn a lot more about these unique mammals,” says Wegman. “There is probably not another group of mammals with such a

Delhi veterans plan Nov. 7 ceremony By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

The Delhi Township Veterans Association will have its Veterans Day ceremony at 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 7. It will be at the Veterans Memorial Park, 934 Neeb Road, adjacent township offices and the police station. Association Secretary Jeff Lefler said the program will include dedication of the new Wall of Honor with 153 veteran names. To date, Lefler said, 2,021 names of township veterans have been engraved on the park’s six black granite walls. There also will be the ded-

ication of two granite benches that have been added to the memorial park. A plaque commemorating the park also will be dedicated. Shuttle service to the ceremony will be proved at the Delhi Township senior/community center, 647 Neeb Road. Lefler said members of the group also will be participating in a Veterans Day program at Oak Hills High School on Nov. 9. Following the 8:30 a.m. program, veterans talk with students about their experiences. For more information about the Veterans Day ceremony, call 471-8693 or go to delhiveterans.com.

GUMP-HOLT Funeral Home Your Responsibility to Vote FREEDOM’S RESPONSIBILITY. It was said of the ancient Athenians that when the freedom they wanted most was freedom from responsibility, they lost their freedom, never to be free again. A question worth asking is whether we are, like the Athenians, seeking freedom from responsibility, thus endangering our freedom? Is it freedom from responsibility we seek when we refuse to participate in the election process? Is it freedom from responsibility we seek when we ignore problems of state and local government? Is it freedom from responsibility we seek when we are too often content to complain but not concerned enough to participate? Freedom carries with it responsibility.Those of us who live in a free society have a responsibility to protect and to preserve that freedom through the acceptance of our responsibilities as part of that society.

Health dept. offering flu vaccinations Hamilton County Public Health is working with local communities to provide free seasonal flu vaccine on Saturday, Nov. 6. For the last few years, Hamilton County Public Health has been working with local cities, villages and townships to develop a plan that would utilize familiar local places as points of dispensing should the need for mass medication or vaccine distribution arise during a public health emergency. By using sever-

al points of dispensing, called PODs, travel and wait time will be minimal. This flu shot distribution is a simulation of how a POD would operate during a real emergency. The flu vaccination is free and open to anyone 6 months and older, regardless of residency. Individuals must pre-register by calling 513-946-7800 by Wednesday, Nov. 3. Name, phone number, number in household seeking vaccine and number of children

younger than 35 months will need to be provided for pre-registration. Only the flu shot version of the seasonal flu vaccine will be available. All locations will operate on Saturday, Nov. 6 from 9 a.m. to noon. • Deer Park High School, 8351 Plainfield Road; • LifeSpring Christian Church, 1373 W.

The 2010-2011 CCO Season celebrates the life of composer Robert Schumann. “While the opening concert told the story of the beginnings of the Schumann family, the second concert skips years ahead to when Johannes Brahms enters the scene,” said Music Director Mischa San-

tora. “At this early stage, Schumann's admiration for this gifted pianist/composer was unclouded by some of the later complications, including Brahms' ambiguous relationship with Clara Schumann.” This concert will include two of Brahms' Liebeslieder Waltzer (love song waltzes); pieces in which the music oozes the serene sunshine and happiness associated with being in love. It is one of Brahms' warmest, most charming and positive works, which the CCO will perform in a version for Chorus and Orchestra.

St. Vincent de Paul and WLWT launch annual coat drive The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Cincinnati and WLWT News 5 announce the 9th annual 5 Cares Coat Drive. Coat drive partners are Gold Star Chili, City Dash, Kemba Credit Union, local fire departments and Starr Printing Services, Inc. With convenient drop-off locations across the TriState at Gold Star Chili restaurants, Kemba Credit Union branches and local fire stations, it is easy to make a difference. “For many local families, especially those with young children who have outgrown their coats from last year, there simply isn’t money in the budget this year to purchase new coats, which is why the 5 Cares Coat Drive is so important,” said Liz Carter, executive director of St. Vincent de Paul. “We are hopeful that even in these difficult economic times, our community will again respond to this very basic need,” Carter said.

The 5 Cares Coat Drive relies on the generosity of Greater Cincinnati residents for the donation of new and gently used coats towards its goal of 4,000 coats. St. Vincent de Paul distributes winter coats directly to local families, as well as providing them to other local agencies that work with those in need across the Tristate. The 5 Cares Coat Drive relies on the generosity of Greater Cincinnati residents for the donation of new and gently used coats towards its goal of 4,000 coats. This community wide initiative is made possible by firefighters and local businesses such as Gold Star Chili and Kemba Credit Union that collect the coats; volunteers from St. Vincent

de Paul who transport, sort and distribute the coats; and of course, the community who generously donate the coats. Along with donating coats or making a financial contribution, you can get involved by volunteering your time. Simply visit www.SVDPcincinnati.org for more information. “The response each year from our viewers to the 5 Cares Coat Drive is a testament to the tight knit fabric of Greater Cincinnati. People really appreciate that St. Vincent de Paul is able to provide the coats we collect directly to local residents in need,” said Richard Dyer, General Manager of WLWT News 5. Participating fire departments serving as drop off points include Colerain

Township, Forest Park, Green Township, Mount Healthy, Springfield Township. For a complete list of fire departments and stations as well as participating Gold Star Chili locations and Kemba Credit Union branches, go to www.wlwt.

The Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati (LNGC) has begun its 21st annual Hands Across the River fund drive. The fund drive will support the work of the Literacy Network as business and civic leaders from Ohio and Northern Kentucky join hands in support of a more literate community. Leading this year’s campaign are Joseph S.

The co-chairs’ sponsorship of the Hands Across the

River fund drive is one of these steps. The co-chairs unite the Ohio and Kentucky business leaders while encouraging them to provide stable, on-going support. Their commitment to literacy changes the community and provides life-altering interventions to individuals. Without supportive community partners like Rick Robinson and Joe and Shelly Gillis, the Literacy Network would be incapable of providing its essential services; we feel honored and privileged for their support.” Since 1986, the Literacy Network has served as a contact center for literacy, providing a full-time referral hotline (621-READ) for prospective tutors and learners. For more information about volunteer or learning opportunities, or how you can help support the Literacy Network, please call 513-621-7323 (621-READ) or visit www.LNGC.org.
