BECAUSE COMMUNITY MATTERS
Delhi food pantry gearing up for holidays By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
As the holidays near, Matt Miller is hoping for and counting on community support as he stocks the shelves of the Anderson Ferry Food Pantry. Miller has become the pantry director and knows a little something about the need for help putting food on the table.
“When I moved here in 2003, I came here with a friend for help,” Miller said. “I can remember standing at the bottom of the stairs and Ginny (Murphy) was trying to stack boxes. “I offered to help her and saw what a good thing she and the other volunteers were doing and I’ve been here ever since.” Miller, who still isn’t paid for his work with the Delhi Town-
ship pantry, took on the manager duties when Murphy moved out of the township and opted for a less time consuming role with the pantry she started. Miller said Murphy continues to help and he’s relying on the many organizations and people Murphy enlisted to help See PANTRY, Page A2

Rosiello wins Green Twp. trustee seat By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Tony Rosiello will replace Green Township Trustee Tony Upton on the board of trustees. Rosiello, 57, defeated township residents Jeffry Smith and Tom Pfahler on Tuesday, Nov. 8, to win the seat Upton is vacating when he retires at the end of the year. According to unofficial results from the Hamilton County Board of Elections, Rosiello received 10,355 votes (about 58 percent), Smith received 5,288 votes (about
30 percent) and Pfahler collected 2,278 votes (about 13 percent). “As a secondgeneration American and the first in my family to run and be elected to Rosiello office, I’m very proud,” Rosiello said. The lifelong Green Township resident said he’s worked on political campaigns for Gov. John Kasich and U.S. Rep Steve Chabot, but it was nerve wracking to watch
the results come in on election night as a candidate. “You never know what’s going to happen,” Rosiello said. “It really is democraSmith cy in action.” He said he is thankful to all the residents who voted for him and he appreciates their support. “It is very gratifying,” he said. “We knocked on more than 7,000 doors during the campaign
and we got to meet a lot of great people. I think it made all the difference.” Rosiello owns a consulting business and also serves as president of the Western Economic Council, a nonprofit group focused on promoting economic development in western Hamilton County. He said he wants to maintain Green Township’s quality services, spend taxpayers’ dollars conservatively and strive for a good balance of business developSee TRUSTEE, Page A2

Originally approved in 2005, the levy generates about $1.7 million each year for Three Rivers. The Bohannon three-year, 4.95-mill levy costs the owner of a home valued at $100,000 about $132 per year in taxes. “If we continue to watch every penny, we’ll continue to be financially stable for
the next three years,” Bohannon said. The renewal levies in the surrounding communities of Addyston, North Bend and Miami Township were also all approved by voters, which she said indicates residents value the services they receive. “We value our students and are committed to maintaining high expectations for academic success and meeting career and college readiness standards,” she said.

Green Twp. levies passed By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
State Sen. Bill Seitz with presenter Director Gary Mohr at the Talbert House 46th annual luncheon. THANKS TO TERI NAU
Green Township voters approved both renewal levy issues before them when they marked their ballots Tuesday, Nov. 8. The township sought renewals of a five-year safety services levy as well as a five-year streets levy. Both levies are 0.5-mill levies and the renewals do not raise taxes. Based on unofficial results from the Hamilton County Board of Elections, Issue 27, the safety services levy, was approved
by a vote of 16,822 to 5,476 (about 75 percent to 25 percent). Issue 28, the streets levy, passed by a vote of 16,104 to 6,034 – or about 73 percent to 27 percent. “It was great to see the overwhelming support,” Linnenberg said Green Township Trustee David Linnenberg. “It shows Green Township residents recognize the quality services, and
that’s what we’ll continue to provide.” The safety services levy costs the owner of a home with a market value of $100,000 about $7 per year in taxes. The streets levy costs the owner of a home with the same value about $10 per year. Voters first approved both levies in 1986. The streets levy was originally a 1-mill levy, but it was reduced to 0.5 mills in 2002. The safety services levy generates $287,649 for the township annually, and the streets levy brings in $405,767 each year.
Linnenberg said money from the safety services levy goes toward providing top-notch township police patrols for the community. Funds from the street levy help pay for road improvements, snow removal, maintenance personnel salaries and other maintenance tasks. “The road levy is key,” he said. “When we apply for grant funding for various road and infrastructure improvements we have to show another source of income. This allows us to continue to apply for grants.”
spending their tax dollars.” City Councilman Matthew McGowan, the Ward 2 representative and chairman of council’s finance committee, said revenue from the current expenses levy goes toward funding police, fire and maintenance services, and funds from the streets levy go toward the maintenance and repair of the city’s streets and roads. The current expenses levy generates about $129,000 for the city each year, and the streets levy brings in about $64,400 annually for Cheviot. “Both levies are crucial to the operation of the city,” Keller said. According to the Hamilton County Auditor, the current expenses levy costs the owner of a home with a market value of $100,000 about $24 per year in taxes. The owner of a home with the same value pays about $12 each year in taxes for the
streets levy. “The residents of Cheviot see where their tax dollars go, and they know the value they get,” McGowan said. Keller said city voters have historically supported renewal levies for city services because they appreci-
ate all the great services and the fact city leaders work hard to stretch tax dollars. “Up until five or six years ago, we went more than 25 years without asking citizens for a tax increase,” he said. “Not many government entities can say that.”

Cheviot voters appreciate their city services. Residents approved both renewal levies the city asked them to consider when they visited the polls Tuesday, Nov. 8. Issue 41 was a 3-mill current expenses levy, and Issue 42 was a 1.5-mill streets levy. Both are five-year levies. According to unofficial results from the Hamilton County Board of Elections, the current expenses levy passed by a vote of 1,468 to 676, which is about 68 percent to about 32 percent. The streets levy was approved by a vote of 1,623 to 543, or about 75 percent to 25 percent. “I was quite pleased with the results,” Cheviot Mayor Samuel Keller said. “The citizens of Cheviot showed they have confidence in the way the city is

Baker, who lost a bid for election to a ward seat on council two years ago, said this year’s election was a much better experience. “It was still a really close race and it was still nerve wracking,” he said. “But it feels great. I’m hon-
ored to be one of the three at-large representatives on council.” He said he won’t forget the conversations he had with residents when he was out campaigning and he’s going to work hard to address concerns and keep the city moving forward. “This is a responsibility I’m going to take very seriously,” Baker said. “I’m looking forward to getting started.” Auditor’s race While Republicans won all the at-large council seats, Democrat-endorsed Auditor Theresa CiolinoKlein won re-election to the auditor’s office. The incumbent faced
Joseph Pahls in the race to retain her seat. Based on unofficial results from the board of elections, CiolinoKlein received 1,078 votes and Pahls received 1,012 votes, which is about 52 percent to 48 percent. “I want to thank the citizens of Cheviot for their support throughout the campaign and seeing me through my re-election to the auditor’s office,” Ciolino-Klein said. “People believed in me and I’m grateful for their support.” She said the door to the auditor’s office is always open and residents can contact her anytime they have questions or concerns.

As eight people package products for sale, six others do puzzles, watch movies or create artwork in another part of the room. They’re upbeat, friendly and productive. These are the X-Plorers of Jewish Vocational Service, a program that features a mixture of recreation, social activities and work for consumers with developmental disabilities who prefer light workloads. The X-Plorers arose from the recognition that some consumers wanted to increase the amount of time they spend participating in recreational and social activities. They once did assembly and packaging work all day with dozens of coworkers in the JVS Work Center in Blue Ash. Now, with fewer co-workers, there are fewer distractions, making them more productive. Matthew Cromer, 24, of
Sycamore Township, loves the X-Plorers. Cromer had a difficult time focusing in the Work Center because so many things are happening at once. “The XPlorers are more relaxing and laid-back,” he says. The X-Plorers are funded by Hamilton County Developmental Disabilities Services and Medicaid. A similar program with 21 consumers exists at the JVS location on Harrison Avenue in Cheviot. “We wanted to provide meaningful activities and minimize behavioral problems,” says JVS Vice President Rich Davis. “Our consumers and staff are thrilled with the new program.” Because of the program’s popularity, the number of X-Plorers has grown to about 20 since the group came together in October 2009. As a result, several times they’ve moved to larger rooms. The current room is the
size of a classroom. Dozens of board games and books sit on shelves. Hanging from the ceiling are miniature replicas of the planets. On the floor in a corner are bean bag chairs. Programming focuses on themes. During their Disney week, they watched Disney movies on a large-screen TV, then created artwork based on the movies. Guest speakers have talked about their overseas vacation trips and showed photos. A musician performed on his guitar and puppeteers put on a show. They’ve taken field trips to a firehouse, airport, historic Indian village and doughnut bakery. Some consumers do individual activities while others work in teams. Says David Shell, a JVS work adjustment specialist, “There’s something for everybody all the time if they want it.”
Find a home for a pet for the holidays Glenway Animal Hospital is joining forces with a local non-profit, volunteer based organization that rescues animals and finds them loving homes: Fourgotten Paws Animal Rescue. The mission at Glenway Animal Hospital is to speak for the animals, and the employees at the hospital are asking for help this holiday season. Every effort is appreciated and makes a difference in the quality of life
for a homeless pet’s life. Donating new or gently used items can make a world a difference. “Every small effort makes a huge difference.” says Michele Mescher from Glenway Animal Hospital. Items that are needed by Fourgotten Paws Animal Rescue include dog/ puppy or cat/kitten food, cat litter, collars, leashes, feeding bowls, toys, bedding, grooming supplies,
cleaning supplies and treats. These items can be dropped off at Glenway Animal Hospital, 6272 Glenway Ave., through Jan. 5. Call for hours of operation to drop off donations.

Wagner, Wells win Three Rivers seats
By Kurt Backscheider
kbackscheider@communitypress.com
A newcomer received the most votes in the race for Three Rivers Local School District Board of Education. Danette Wells pulled in the highest number of votes in a close three-candidate race for two board seats. Incumbent board member Tim Wagner, who serves as vice president of the board, received the second highest number of

votes to win re-election. According to unofficial results from the Hamilton County Board of Elections, Wells won with 2,539 votes (about 36 percent), Wagner received 2,398 votes (about 34 percent) and Michael Hellebusch placed third with 2,051 votes (about 29 percent). “When I learned I had won, I was so very grateful to the people who elected me, ecstatic that the hard work on the campaign had paid off and re-

Each and every vote cast for him is appreciated, and he said he doesn’t take lightly the trust residents placed in him to represent them on the school board. “It is with all my gratitude that I look forward to serving them for the next four years,” Wagner said.
Oak Hills parents concerned with new program By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Parents in the Oak Hills Local School District are letting district officials know they are not happy with aspects of a new mid-
dle school language arts program. A handful of parents who have children in the sixth-grade attended the board of education meeting Monday, Nov. 7, to address the board and voice their

concerns with a program called Expert 21. Oak Hills implemented the program at the beginning of this school year. A letter to parents posted on the district’s website Aug. 3, states Expert 21 is a comprehensive English language arts curriculum that prepares students for the literacy demands of the 21st century through a combination of explicit instruction, inquiry based learning, relevant literature and informational texts, real world writing and projects as well as supportive technology. Parents who spoke Monday said they are not pleased with workshops within the program that are in effect for the second and third quarter of this school year, which may impact the sixth-grade social studies. “This is a major curriculum change,” said Jill Eichhorn, a Delhi Township parent who has a son in the sixth-grade. She said social studies instruction has been re-
duced for the second and third quarters to allow time for Expert 21 workshops dealing with social inquiry

lessons. Her concern is the loss of social studies lessons, she said. “I hope you reinstate the social studies curriculum immediately,” Eichhorn told the board. “This is not the quality social studies the students have been getting.” Jeanni Roach, who has a son in the sixth-grade at Delhi Middle School, echoed Eichhorn's concerns. “My son adores history, but they've taken time from social studies for these workshops,” she said. “Maybe Expert 21 is a great program, but right now there are some loose ends we need to address. We're just concerned parents.”
surance.” On top of the change, Eichhorn said what frustrates her the most is the lack of communication between the district and parents regarding implementation of the workshops for the second and third quarters. “I didn't receive anything from the district until a week and a half before the start of the second quarter,” she said, noting parents should be included in decisions affecting their children's education. “The process failed. The process needs to be better.” Schinkal concurred there was a lack of communication. “We all agree the communication needed to be better. We clearly need to review the communications issue,” he said. “It's always good for us to review policies and procedures.” The next school board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 5, at Delhi Middle School.
Steve Schinkal, president of the school board, said the workshops in question have social aspects relating to social studies, but the board shares parents' concerns regarding social studies being impacted by the implementation of the new program. “A lot of people spoke compassionately about their children losing social studies,” he said. “The concern is that these two modules have replaced social studies content. It's my understanding that is not the case.” He said the same social studies content that was taught to sixth-graders last year will still be taught this year, but to be certain the board has directed Superintendent Todd Yohey to survey middle school teachers and verify that is the case. “The key thing is to determine whether the social studies curriculum from last year is still being taught,” Schinkal said. “We're looking for that as-

Elder, Seton seniors make college choices By Ben Walpole bwalpole@communitypress.com
Mercy seniors who took part in national signing day included, from left, Marissa Prinzbach, 17, a volleyball setter for UConn to study speech pathology, Anna Eggleston, 17, fast pitch softball for West Virginia State to study education, and Lindsey Dinkelacker, 17, an outside hitter for Saint Louis University to study nursing.

Families celebrate Mother of Mercy college signings
Early signing day was a major event in Price Hill. At Seton High School, senior Becca Meyer signed her letter of intent to play Division I college lacrosse for Saint Francis University (Pa.), Wednesday, Nov. 9. Next door at Elder High School, seniors Anthony Asalon and Daniel Schwarz were making college commitments of their own. Asalon signed to play baseball for the University of Indianapolis. Schwarz also is an Elder baseball standout, but his sport of choice is golf. He’ll be hitting the links for Miami University. “It was fun,” said Schwarz of the signing banquet which included his coaches, friends and family. “It was good to have that off your shoulders. Now I don’t really have to think about it, and I know where I’m going next year.” Schwarz was named Division I first-team all-state this fall after leading the Elder golf team to the state tournament for the first time in 15 years.
He is following a family tradition of sorts, going to Miami. His dad, Kevin, went to school in Oxford. And his older brother, Michael, is a freshman there this year. Schwarz also considered Xavier University and the University of Akron. But once he developed a rapport with new Miami golf coach Zac Zedrick, his decision became clear. “Everything seemed to fit for me,” Schwarz said. Asalon is a starting infielder for the Elder baseball team. A resident of Delhi Townhip, he chose Indianapolis, a Division II school that competes in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, the same league as Northern Kentucky. Meyer is the first Division I signee in Seton lacrosse history, according to Saints head coach Drew Burchett. Meyer scored 59 goals and added 23 assists last season, in earning first team all-Girls Greater Cincinnati League honors. “She’s one of those girls that just loves the game,” Burchett said. “She’s a 100-percent inyour-face player all the time.”

WESTWOOD — It was fitting that Mercy High School senior Lindsey Dinkelacker celebrated her college signing day with her family. After all, they’ve been with her every step of the way. Her mom, Betty, coached her in volleyball at Our Lady of Loudes School during her fourththrough sixth-grade years. Lindsey’s dad, Jim, coached her in basketball, fourth through eighth grades. And both mom and dad coached Lindsey in softball when she was young. “We’re very proud of her and glad we could’ve been a part of it through grade school and into high school,” said Betty Dinkelacker, after watching her daughter commit to play volleyball for Saint Louis University. “Family is very important to her – extended family too.” Lindsey was one of three Mercy athletes to sign college letters of intent, Wednesday morning, Nov. 9, in the high school media center. Volleyball teammate Marissa Prinzbach signed with the University of Connecticut. Bobcat softball standout Anna Eggleston signed with West Virginia State University. Dinkelacker and Prinzbach led the Bobcat volleyball team to back-to-back district championships. Mercy was18-8 this season. Dinkelacker has been one of the best hitters in the Girls Greater Cincinnati League for three years. She excelled at basketball and softball during grade school, but volleyball soon became her focus. “We used to go to Mercy’s volleyball games because we knew a lot of the kids here, and she said that volleyball was just more exciting,” her mom Betty said. “She said she just couldn’t imagine her life without volleyball.” Which was just fine with her dad, even though he was the basketball coach. “Sixth or seventh grade, you

Following the signing that was attended by family and friends, Mercy senior Lindsey Dinkelacker spends time with her cousin, George Dinkelacker, 8 months. Lindsey is an outside hitter and plans to study nursing. LIZ DUFOUR/THE COMMUNITY PRESS could tell that volleyball was going to be her sport,” Jim said. “I’m just glad it paid off for her. She’s put a lot of work into it.” Family played a key role in Lindsey’s college selection too. “With the league they’re in (the Atlantic 10), they come back to play Xavier and Dayton,” said Lindsey, already looking forward to those homecoming matches. “The distance from home is like five hours, so it’s really easy. “I’m happy with my decision. It’s just relieving once you’re done with it.” Prinzbach, too, talked of relief. She verbally committed to the UConn volleyball program more than a year ago. Wednesday the senior setter could finally make it official. “I was really anxious yesterday,” Prinzbach said. “Now it’s like a weight off your shoulder – in a good way.” Eggleston had five goals and four assists for the Mercy soccer team, helping the Bobcats to 10
wins and a trip to the sectional finals this fall. Softball, however, is her main claim to fame. She has been named firstteam all-GGCL Scarlet in all three years of her high school career. During that span, the Bobcats are 61-14 with three league championships to their credit. Eggleston was 10-1 on the mound last spring with 116 strikeouts and a 1.11 earned run average. She also shined at the plate, hitting .382. She visited the West Virginia State campus in Institute, W. Va. – just outside Charleston – the first weekend of November. She said the campus, coaches and nice autumnal atmosphere clinched her decision. “I’ve been working for this. I’ve been working my butt off since I was little, playing softball,” Eggleston said. “So just knowing that I’m signed and get to continue playing, it’s just great. It’s everything I could ever have wished for.”

After wrapping up a stellar varsity career at La Salle High School, keeper Mack Robinson verbally committed to play soccer at the collegiate level with Ohio Dominican University. To hear Robinson will play at the next level should come as no surprise, considering the statistics he posted as a four-year member of the Lancers’ varsity roster. Robinson, who was also recruited by Ohio State and the University of Cincinnati, was named FirstTeam, All-Greater Catholic League after posting five shutouts. The accolade comes on the heels of Robinson garnering second-team, allleague status in 2010. “It’s nice to be recognized for some of the things I’ve done,” Robinson said. The making of Mack Robinson has been a project just under a decade in

position. Robinson’s commitment to the sport is undeniable. He traveled to Europe at age 12 to play with his junior national team, and has played year round with select teams. He’s made soccer a big part of his life while maintaining a 3.7 grade point average. He attributed his success in the classroom to good organization, and motivating outside influences. “(The key to maintaining a good balance) is time management and a mom who is on your butt all of the time,” Robinson said. Robinson will head to ODU next fall ready to leave his mark, just as he did on the Lancer program. He chose the small Columbus-based college over bigger schools after a visit to the campus. “When I got there, I loved the place,” he said. “It just kind of fit. It was one of those fairy tale lastminute recruiting visits I took.”

According to Ellie Singer, Region II administrator for the Olympic Developmental Program, “being selected to the regional pool is a major accomplishment. All 4 girls will be observed now and in the future for possible selection to the U.S. National Team. Some of these players have gone on to win Olympic Gold Medals in 1996 and are represented on the FIFA Women’s World Cup, 2008 & 2012 Olympic and National Teams.” Some Region II players played on the Inaugural U19 World Cup 2002 team in Canada that finished first and were recently seen in the FIFA WWC final game against Japan.

Dolle, Bombers air out victory By Ben Walpole bwalpole@communitypress.com
CLIFTON — The formula was supposed to be simple. Run the ball, play defense, control field position. Well, the St. Xavier High School football team did all of the above but also threw in a new wrinkle this week – the aerial assault. Senior quarterback Griffin Dolle threw early and often to help the Bombers to a quick 21-0 and they held on to defeat Colerain 28-15, Saturday night, Nov. 12, in the Division I regional semifinals at the University of Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium. “Against a team like Colerain, you've got to be balanced,” St. Xavier head coach Steve Specht said. “You've got to be able to mix it up. They're too good. Their defense is way too good to be one dimensional.” The week prior St. Xavier rushed for 259 yards in a quarterfinal win against Mason. Dolle threw for all of 28 yards in that one. Against Colerain, Dolle threw for 95 yards and two touchdowns in the first quarter. He didn't throw his first incompletion of the game until midway through the third quarter. “He did a great job,” Specht said. “I don't think he's given enough credit. “We can throw the ball too. Griffin's playing well. He makes good decisions. He's really grown as a quarterback.” Colerain head coach Tom Bolden called Dolle's play the deciding factor in the game: “Their quarterback was absolutely phenomenal tonight. He made all the plays he had to.” St. X came out on its first possession and kept the Colerain defense offbalance with a mix of inside runs to Conor Hundley, option pitch plays and short passes to Drew Frey. Dolle
St Xavier High School receiver Kevin Milligan (28) tries to elude two Colerain defenders, Nov. 12, in a Division I regional semifinal game at Nippert Stadium. JOSEPH FUQUA II/THE COMMUNITY PRESS
capped the 13-play march with a 10-yard swing pass to Kevin Milligan for a touchdown. The Bombers faced a third-and-8 on their next possession back at their own 39. Dolle threw a strike to Trey Kilgore along the left sideline. The ball appeared to ricochet off of Kilgore's shoulder right into the hands of Milligan who was trailing the play on the right side. He took it the rest of the way to the end zone for a 14-0 St. Xavier lead with 5:19 left in the first quarter. The ball hit Milligan so perfectly stride it was almost as if the play was drawn up that way. The play left the Colerain fans and team alike in a stunned stupor. “When you're battling the whole time and something like that happens, it kind of shocks you at first,” Bolden said. “I thought that was just a tough point, emotionally.”
The fog didn't lift for a few more minutes on the Colerain side, and by the time it did, Hundley had extended the St. X lead to 21-0 with a second-quarter TD run. The Cardinals would dominate much of the next 20 minutes of play. Dustin Smith ran one yard for a touchdown in the final minute of the first half to draw his team within 21-6 at halftime. They carried the momentum into the third quarter, outgaining Colerain 120 yards to three in the period. The problem for Colerain was finishing drives. The only sign on the scoreboard of all of that third-
quarter dominance was a Kevin Walker field goal that made the score 21-9. St. X sustained one more drive, ending in a Dolle to Hank Rumpke three-yard touchdown pass to clinch the game. Dolle finished 9-of-10 passing for 117 yards and a career-high three touchdowns. “That was probably one my better starts,” said Dolle, modestly, afterward. “I've gotten healthy over the past two weeks. I guess the offense is just in a groove.” Having Hundley back in the lineup certainly helped. The senior running back
has been battling an ankle injury for the last month. He carried the ball eight times in the playoff opener against Mason, but this was his first game back in the role of featured back. “Colerain's a physical team. They're fast,” Hundley said. “It (the injury) definitely showed. I couldn't pull away. Some of that was my ankle. Some of that was them. “I'm a little banged up. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow.” Colerain finishes the year 10-2, with both losses to St. X. The Cardinals rallied to win the Greater Miami Conference with a 7-0 record in league play despite an injury-ravaged season that saw them lose their starting quarterback and featured running back to season-ending injuries in September. “Our kids never quit,” Bolden said. “That's a testament to those seniors.” Dustin Smith, who took over at quarterback midseason, saved perhaps his best game for last. He completed 16 passes Saturday for 157 yards and late, long touchdown to T.J. Dula. “Our quarterback was 5-foot-8, 150 pounds of pure determination,” Bolden said. “And he showed that again tonight.” St. Xavier improves to 9-3 with the win. The Bombers play for the Region 4 championship against Moeller, Saturday, Nov. 19. Moeller defeated Middletown in the other semifinal, 42-30. The Crusaders beat St. X 27-24 in week five of the regular season.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Promising future
Three Rivers School District greatly appreciates your vote of confidence and your support in passing the three-year renewal levy. By continuing the levy that was first approved in 2005, the district will remain financially stable for the next three years barring no unforeseen changes from the state or crisis occurring. Revenue continues to decline for the school district and we will continue to monitor all expenditures in order to stretch our dollars as far as possible. With the continued support and understanding from the community, we will make reductions as necessary in order to make the budget work in a manner that will continue to focus on instruction. We value our students and are committed to maintaining high expectations for academic success and meeting career and college readiness standards. You are a part of an exciting time in Three Rivers. We are
moving forward with a new school and maintaining an excellent rating in the State. Together, we are building a promising future for our children. Rhonda Bohannon Superintendent Three Rivers Local School District
Citizens main focus
I would like to thank the citizens of Cheviot for the support I have received throughout my campaign. This was ultimately shown through my re-election to the offfice of auditor. My successful re-election wouldn't have been possible without the backing from my family and friends – thank you so much. I will continue to serve as Cheviot’s auditor with the same high standards I have in the past years, and I promise to keep Cheviot and its citizens as my main focus. Theresa Ciolino-Klein Cheviot
Thanks for support
I would like to express my thanks to all residents in the Finneytown, Forest Hills, Lockland, Northwest, Oak Hills, Southwest and Three Rivers local school districts who went to the polls Tuesday and voted for me And even if you went to the polls and didn't vote for me, thank you for voting. Our American system is still the best one going!

Bad day
Last Tuesday was a bad day for democracy. I was emotionally linked to Issue 2. With my father as a Cincinnati firefighter, I constantly heard family and friends ask: “How does this affect you?” And my father would articulate his personal interests. But this is the problem with political discourse today. Was SB 5 perfect? Heck no. However, the issue should have been framed in this nature – what does this issue
mean for the future of Ohio and our capacity to create a sustainable government? Everyone has special interests, but our country is at a turning point. We spend too much. Unfortunately, many today feel an entitlement to government expenditures. As Alexander Tytler once acknowledged: “[democracy] can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy.” We have tough choices to make in the imminent future. And we, as Americans/Ohioans, need to decide what is best for the future, not what is best for our own, immediate special interests. Philip Ramstetter Jr Green Township

I appreciate the positive support and reinforcement that I received from my family, friends, and when I went door to door talking to all the people throughout the village. I am honored to serve our village as the mayor. Cleves has been my home for the past 46 years. I learned a long time ago that in my opinion this is a great place to live. I know at times we all have made jokes about our little town, but when I look around, I see a lot of life time residence and new residence that have made our village their home for their families. That says a lot. I believe that we have great opportunities to make the village of Cleves a great place to visit and live. Especially now that the new school (pre-K through 12), will be opening in fall of 2013.

Should Ohio ban or restrict the private ownership of exotic animals? Why or why not? “Of course, Ohio should ban the private ownership of exotic animals! There is no reason I can think of that would warrant another situation like the one in Zanesville. Animals belong first of all in their natural habitats. If that is not possible, then they belong in a zoo where experts will care, shelter and feed them. People who have a need for an abundance of wild animals or keeping an abundance of cats or dogs in their homes are needing some mental health care for themselves. Let's love our animals with reason. We don't need more than one or two cats or dogs and the wild animals should not live in our homes.” E.E.C. “My first response would be, of course. These animals are potentially dangerous and could harm the owner and others but where do you draw the line? American Bison are exotic, big and potentially dangerous but considered farm animals and we have not banned them. We have banned pit bulls but not tigers and lions but people keep them anyway. Where is the sense in that? More people are killed or hurt by ATVs but we have not banned them. I believe Ohioans who ride motorcycles without helmets are fools, endangering themselves and driving up healthcare costs but we voted to repeal the helmet law. I don't think it is a good idea to keep exotic animals and it pains me to see any animals maltreated but there are lots more poorly cared for dogs, cats and horses. Before we ban exotic animals, perhaps we should ban people who do a miserable job of bringing up children that subsequently become criminals, thieves and murders. Our legislature has a lot more pressing things to spend time on. We have enough restrictions on our liberty.” F.S.D. “Absolute

can't seem to take care of their own domestic animals as evidenced by the overcrowding of shelters and foster homes with these poor creatures. “Leave caring for and housing exotics to the zoo.” M.J.Y. “Regarding the unbalanced man who released over 50 wild animals, how does a private citizen amass a collection of lions, tigers, bears and other large carnivores without the government intervening? Can we really trust private citizens to own 600 to 800 pound potential man-eaters and properly feed and house them? If a neighbor had such an animal I certainly hope the government would intercede pronto!” R.V. “No, not banning, but they should have laws in effect of what type of exotic animals can be safely kept as pets. Zoo's should have the right to inspect anyone who harbors these animals to see if they are treated well and disease free. Also, potential owners should at least have a farm setting for safety and exercise.” O.H.R. "Absolutely not! This question would not have arisen had it not been for the aberrant behavior of 61-year-old Terry Thompson who released his collection of wild animals near Zanesville and then killed himself. What are the odds of something like this happening again? “I'm one of those people who believe in limited government and I do not think government has the authority to dictate what kind of animals people keep for their enjoyment. If it could be proven that someone kept a supply of

dangerous wild animals with the deliberate intent to release them at some point, and cause panic, I might take a different view, but that is not the case. “We should be very cautious about allowing government to limit our freedoms.” Bill B. “I am against the public having exotic animals for a number of reasons. First of all they are called wild for a reason and can never be trusted, thinking that they like you personally is nuts. When you have these animals you are putting yourself and the community at risk and some of the cages are not safe to have an animal in or are they sanitary. Lets leave the wild animals for the zoo.” D.D.

Requested holiday recipes are family favorites emember my best tip: parsley and whipping cream are great culinary band aids – it’s amazing the mistakes they can “cover”!
Cornish game hens with apricot sauce
This is for Sherie, a Northside reader, who wants to roast Cornish hens for Thanksgiving instead of turkey. A side of mashed potatoes would be nice with this.
3 Cornish game hens, about 1½ pounds each, thawed if frozen and patted dry Olive oil ¾ teaspoon dried thyme Salt and pepper Sauce: 1 medium onion, chopped 3 generous teaspoons minced garlic 2 ⁄3 cup dry white wine 1 14.5 oz. can chicken broth ½ cup whipping cream, unwhipped ¼ cup honey Juice from 2 lemons, about ¼ cup 1 ⁄3 cup chopped dried apricots
Preheat oven to 450. Tie hens’ legs together and tuck wing tips underneath. Rub with a bit of oil and sprinkle each with ¼ teaspoon thyme, along with
some salt and pepper. Place, breast side up, on baking sheet. Roast until thickest part of Rita thigh regisHeikenfeld ters 165 RITA’S KITCHEN degrees (don’t touch bone), about 40 minutes. Cover loosely with foil and let rest about 10 minutes. While birds are roasting, make sauce. Film bottom of large skillet with olive oil and add onion and garlic and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add rest of ingredients and bring to a gentle boil. Boil until reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes. Pour through sieve, pressing solids down. Discard solids and return sauce to skillet. Season to taste and serve. Serves 6.
Marilyn Hoskin’s cranberry celebration salad like Kroger Try substituting cherry gelatin if you like. Good work!
15 oz. crushed pineapple, drained – save juice ½ cup cranberry juice 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 3 oz. package raspberry gelatin 1 5 oz. can whole cranberry sauce ½ cup chopped walnuts
Boil pineapple, cranberry and lemon juice together. Add gelatin. Remove from heat and stir in cranberries. Put in fridge till almost set. Add pineapple and nuts. Add a ½ cup of chopped celery if you like.
Apple cranberry cobbler
More holiday recipes in my web version of this column: Ginny Moorehouse’s cranberry celebration salad and my easy master recipe for turkey gravy from drippings. ¼ teaspoon ground cloves ½ cup chopped walnuts 2 cups plus 1 tablespoon flour 4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces 2 teaspoons baking powder1 teaspoon salt 8 tablespoons vegetable shortening
Jimmy Gherardi and Paul Sturkey shared this recipe years ago and Suzanne Macke brought it to her garden group luncheon. I liked it so much I took a photo of it and think it would be a nice addition to your Thanksgiving dinner.

Payday lenders still operating in Ohio Three years ago there were some 16,000 payday lender storefronts in Ohio. Then Ohioans voted to limit the amount of interest those lenders can charge. But many of these lenders are still around – and still charging what amounts to high interest rates – so you need to be careful if you’re tempted to use them. Linda Schnur, of Oxford, started taking out loans with these firms years ago and says she
got hooked on them. “Last year I got it down to two. I had four, but I paid off two of Howard then. Ain When I HEY HOWARD! didn’t work in the summer, when I couldn’t get employment, that’s when I started again because of electric bills,” she said. The annual percentage rate she pays on
Cincinnati’s 14th Annual
these short-term loans varies widely, but it’s generally quite high “One is charging 98.69 percent, another 124.11 percent and another is 91.7 percent,” she said. The annual percentage rate is so high because the short-term lenders are now charging fees in addition to the interest rates. Schnur says she, like many others, got caught in a vicious cycle when she started taking out these payday loans. “Actually, I took one out to pay off the other, to pay off the other, to pay off the other. I found with a pension sometimes it wasn’t enough to cover every-
thing,” she said. In an effort to pay off the payday loans, Schnur turned to a debtrelief company in California. She says she sent the firm $200 but, after more than a month, it has yet to pay off any of the payday loans as promised. Schnur says she’s learned her lesson about these loans and wants to warn others. “I would tell people look for other alternatives. Maybe, if you owe money to your creditors, tell them to make a payment plan or explain your situation to them.” A spokesman at the Ohio Commerce Department says these payday lenders are operating
legally under the Ohio Small Loan Act. They are still prohibited from charging high rates, but they get around that by adding upfront fees. So, you need to beware. Incidentally, debtrelief companies can no longer take your money upfront, they must first provide assistance. So I told Schnur to stop sending money to that California company and ask for her money back – and she did get it back. Howard Ain answers consumer complaints weekdays on WKRC-TV Local 12.

Veteran and bride wed on 11-11-11 By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
When Leah Bedacht and Chad Engman met, there were fireworks. Literally. The couple met at a family party to watch the annual WEBN Labor Day Fireworks. Leah is the daughter of Tom and Lisa Bedacht of Colerain Township. Chad is the son of William and Lynne Enman Jr. of Erlanger. Tom and Bill do business together, and are friends. The couple hit it off, and began to realize how much they enjoyed being together.
They enjoyed it so much that April 9, Chad proposed and in front of the family and on 11-11-11, Chad and Leah got married. The couple chose the day for its luck – Leah used to make wishes on 11:11 on the clock – and because it was Veterans Day. The military is a big part of Chad’s life. He is a member of the Air Force Reserves and is part of the 445th Squadron at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. He is also a volunteer firefighter with the Glendale Fire Department and is looking for a full-time firefighting job. Leah plans to work on her master’s degree after the
wedding and works in the operating room at Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The wedding had a groom in dress blues, bridesmaids in navy dresses and red shoes who were carrying red roses and a bride in white. “Red, white and blue,” Leah said. “I didn’t initially plan it that way, but it kind of evolved. I like it.” The couple says they have a lot in common. They are both close to their families and said they were excited to have their whole family around them for the wedding. “We have big families,
so you don’t get everybody together all that often,” Leah said. “We were excited to get the whole clan together.” Chad says Leah keeps him on his toes, but he has never felt as close to anyone as he feels to her. “I know she likes to be with me, to spend time with me,” he said. Leah says she values Chad’s maturity and his goals. “He is a good man,” she said. “He has everything going for him. We are similar in a lot of ways. We like to be with each other. We like to hang out with our families. It’s just good.”

Imagine for a moment at the age of 19, you became the No. 1 pop musician in your country with people of all ages jamming your concerts, your records achieving Platinum and Diamond sales, newborns being named after you, and magazines and tabloids filling their pages with stories and photos you. That was the life of Tatjana Matejas of Croatia, known as Tajci to her adoring fans, before she came to America. Shocking her country and peers, Tajci left her pop stardom, glamour, fame, friends and family to come to the United States, alone and unknown at age 21. She came to America to be free of her celebrity, and to find herself. For a while, she fled her image and changed her name. While

Musically, Tajci draws from an almost unbelievable range of influences, not just from across the globe, but from across the centuries of human history. In “Emmanuel –the Story of Christmas,” Tajci takes her audience on a musical sleigh ride that conjures images that vary from a vast gothic cathedral for a Gregorian chant, to a trip to the local mall where a young woman searches for the true spirit of Christmas among the chores of the busy season.

to 10 students entering the master’s of nursing program in May 2012. To date, the NCIN program has supported 20 students in two years at the Mount, and continues to develop culturally competent health professionals and future leaders of the profession. The NCIN program was created to enable schools of nursing to expand student capacity in accelerated baccalaureate and master’s programs, and build a more diverse workforce ready to serve the needs of a changing patient population. Schools receiving grants through NCIN provide scholarships directly to students from groups underrepresented in nursing or from disadvantaged backgrounds. The NCIN program addresses a number of the challenges confronting nursing education, professional development, and the national workforce shortage. Accelerated programs like the ones supported by NCIN provide scholars with the most efficient route to licensure as a registered nurse (RN) and create opportunities for adults who have already completed a baccalaureate or graduate degree in a field other than nursing. These programs prepare students to pass the licensure examine required for all RNs in as little as12-18 months and provide quicker routes to workforce eligibility than traditional programs.

Benefits May Help Veterans Remain at Home In war or peace, U.S. servicemen and women have defended our nation and earned valuable benefits. And now, as veterans age, some may not be aware of benefits that could help them afford to stay in their own homes.
prosthetic device OR is bedridden OR is blind or sight-challenged. (The veteran also may be a patient in a nursing home due to mental or physical incapacity.)
Aging Ranks According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), there are about 22.7 million retired military members. About 92% are men and 8% are women. World War II and Korean War vets number 4.4 million – and that number is declining. However, Vietnam veterans, now totaling 7.5 million, are now in their 50s and older. According to the VA, a monthly pension can be paid if a veteran’s disability was not the result of active military service or because of age. The individual must meet certain income and other criteria to receive a pension. Aid and Attendance Benefits or Housebound Benefits If the veteran qualifies for the pension, Aid and Attendance (A&A) benefits and Housebound benefits are based on additional criteria: • For A&A benefits, a veteran must need help from someone else to complete everyday activities, such as using the bathroom, bathing, dressing, eating, manipulating a
• For Housebound benefits, a veteran must have one or more fully disabling conditions that confines him or her to the home or immediate premises. Applying for Benefits An eligible veteran who already receives a VA pension may apply for A&A benefits or Housebound benefits by writing to a VA regional office. In Ohio, that’s Cleveland Regional Office, A.J. Celebrezze Federal Building, 1240 East 9th Street, Cleveland, OH 44199. The number is (800) 827-1000. Include information validating the veteran’s need for care, such as a physician’s report about the disease or injury that produced a physical or mental impairment or a condition that affects the individual’s everyday living, and confines the individual to the home or immediate premises. Also advise how well the individual gets around – or not – and what he or she can do alone. Find out more on the Department of Veterans Affairs website: www.va.gov.
