Ray and Marge Lacher were recently honored with the Volunteer Appreciation Award by the Delhi Historical Society.

It took until Ray Lacher was nearing the age of 90 to learn the word “no.” For more than 20 years, Lacher and his wife, Marge, said “yes” anytime there was work to be done by the Delhi Historical Society. The couple recently were honored with the society’s annual Volunteer Appreciation Award. “The Lachers have willingly said ‘yes’ every time help was needed on a project or a program, whether it was helping out on Pioneer Days, making phone calls, serving cookies and punch at open houses, or talking with school children,” said Peg Schmidt, society member and Farmhouse curator. “Occasionally, they would help with Grandma’s Attic, and Marge

enthusiastically served on several historical society committees over the years, while Ray helped out with the maintenance committee.” The couple, who prefers working behind the scenes to talking about their honor, said their biggest labor of love was volunteering each third Sunday of the month at the Farmhouse for the past 15 years. “They weren’t ones to sit around,” said society President Mary Finn said. “On slow days you could find them watering plants, sweeping the porch, or dusting the furniture – doing all the jobs nobody else seemed to have time to do.” Last year, when Ray approached the age of 90, they said it was time to retire. Not because they didn’t want to volunteer anymore, they said, but because driving became a little too difficult.

Police may be forced to cancel classes By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

Fewer than expected folks are signing up for the next session of the Delhi Township Police Department’s Citizens Police Academy. With less than a dozen enrolled for the 12-week pro-

gram scheduled to begin Sept. 3, police say they may have to cancel the academy. The classes are 6-9 p.m. every Thursday at the police station, 934 Neeb Road. The academy is free to those who live or work in Delhi Township. The Citizens Police Academy

provides a hands-on opportunity to learn more about the department and the different tasks and services the officers and staff provide every day. All classes are conducted by Delhi Township police officers. Participants who complete the academy, including a four-hour ride-along, will receive a certificate

of completion and are eligible to join the Delhi Citizens Police Association. The association is a volunteer group that supports the police department and receives continuing law enforcement education. For more information or to register for the classes, call the police department at 922-0060.

“It’s our central park and has all the athletic fields, shelters and walking trails,” he said. “We’ve done a lot in the last five years to improve Delhi Park as well as work at our other parks.”

By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Labor Day is typically the unofficial end of summer. Summer in Cheviot lasts a little longer. For most Westsiders, the sign autumn is just around the corner arrives with the annual Harvest Home Parade. It won’t be long before lawn chairs line the sidewalks along Harrison Avenue and North Bend Road in preparation for the parade, which kicks off the Cheviot-Westwood Kiwanis Club’s annual Harvest Home Fair. This year’s parade begins promptly at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10, at the intersection of Harrison and Frances avenues. Ten parade divisions of veterans’ groups, Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, marching bands, floats, local fire and police departments, dancers, gymnasts, community organizations, area sports teams and politicians will usher in the fair.

The Grand Marshal for the 2009 Harvest Home Parade is Cheviot-Westwood Kiwanis Club member Matt Roth. Dave Backer, parade chairman, said the club decided to honor Roth with this year’s grand marshal title because he is a secondgeneration Kiwanian and serves as the club’s treasurer. Backer said every penny the Kiwanis Club takes in is distributed back to the community, and Roth oversees all the club’s finances. “He donates all his time,” Backer said.

When the township’s harvest home association went bankrupt in 1939, he said the Kiwanis Club agreed to buy the association’s assets and took over the operation of the event. Upton said the township is entering a 24-foot float in the parade. Backer said a new feature at this year’s parade is the promotion of the Thursday night festivities at Harvest Home Park. He said the fair has always been open on Thursdays following the parade, but attendance has never been great. “We’re trying to get more people into the park on

Folks in Delhi Township and vicinity have had a place to quench their thirst since 1931. First, there was Eddie’s Tavern. It lasted for 53 years when Bob Kasee bought the business from tavern namesake Eddie Deasey 25 years ago. Since then, Maloney’s Pub at the corner of Greenwell Avenue and Delhi Road, has been packing them in. Kasee said a lot changed when he bought the business, including a much larger bar and restaurant. He was forced to eliminate a drive-thru to add badly needed bar space. That space is now covered with sports memorabilia as a testimony to Kasee’s long-time support of local high school and college teams. Supporting those schools and the community is part of what makes Maloney’s such a neighborhood favorite, he said. The menu and atmosphere don’t hurt either. “We come here a lot for lunch,” said Judy Goodale.

HEIDI FALLON/STAFF

Bob Kasee is celebrating the 78th anniversary of Maloney’s Pub and the former Eddie’s Tavern with an Aug. 29 reunion bash.

She and her husband, Elmo, said they’ve been patronizing Maloney’s for the dozen years they’ve lived in Delhi Township. “He loves the pork chops and I can special order anything and it’s not a problem,” she said. “It’s a real family atmosphere and everyone is so friendly and nice and Bob has a really big heart.” Kasee is hoping the Goodales will be among the faithful attending an Aug. 29 reunion. Maloney’s party includes music at 9:30 p.m. and a menu of memories all day long.

Missing woman’s family hopes she's alive Gannett News Service The family of missing Delhi Township woman Kristan Strutz is hopeful that she is alive and implores anyone who knows something about her whereabouts to cooperate with police. “We’re hopeful this is a missing person kind of thing,” said Larry Emley, Kristan’s cousin and family spokesman. “We try not to think about the fact that she might be deceased.” Strutz’s husband, John Strutz, who reported his wife missing Saturday, has been arrested on charges of tampering with evidence and obstructing official business. He remains jailed in Hamilton County in lieu of $1 million bond. Court records say he concealed human remains. The Hamilton County Communications Center released a recording in which John Strutz first reports his wife missing. In the call, made Saturday, Aug. 15, the 30-yearold Delhi man tells the dispatcher: "Nobody in her family knows where she is at. And I don't know, I'm kind of starting to freak out because this is not like her." Strutz explains in detail that he woke up at about 8:30 a.m. and he believed his wife had already left for a day of shopping with her aunt. But, when her aunt

called looking for Kristan, he knew something was wrong. Rumors are flying in the community that Strutz was killed and her husband’s lawyer has said he believes John is under investigation for the death and hiding her body in a garbage can. “There are horrible rumors out there,” Emley said. “They are very cruel and hurtful to the family. “Don’t believe them,” Emley implored. Police, who have searched the Strutz’ house and yard, as well as the Ohio River bank and the Rumpke dump, have directed all questions to prosecutors. Prosecutors are staying quiet on the case. Hamilton County Coroner O’dell Owens has confirmed his office has some remains, but would not elaborate. Police said their searches at the landfill and on the riverbank are now complete, but the investigation continues, Delhi police Lt. Joe Macaluso said last week. The couple has three daughters, ages 3, 5, and 6. Kristan Strutz has another child from a previous relationship. She is on a planned medical leave from her job at Hillebrand Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. For the latest updates on this story visit Cincinnati.com/Delhitownship.

Seton hosts backto-school bash Seton High School recently hosted a Back to School Bash for sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade girls. The event marked the end of summer and kicked off the school year for the junior high students. Seton Student Ambassadors served as team leaders and introduced the girls to life in high school. “We stressed the importance of working hard in grade school and developing a strong foundation to succeed in the challenging academic realm at Seton,” said

Seton recruiter Sarah Cranley, who planned the bash. As part of the day, a book exchange was held. Students brought in old favorite books that they were ready to trade and left with a new one to finish up their summer reading. The students then participated in a scavenger hunt throughout the school building. “I thought the book exchange was great, I’ve already started to read my new book,” said Kelley Kraemer, an eighth-grader at St.

William. “And the scavenger hunt was lots of fun. We saw all parts of the school like the science labs, the balloon shop, Performance Theatre and chapel. It felt really cool to be in my future high school.” In small group settings, Seton Ambassadors spoke to the students about their high school experience. The students also participated in team-building and leadership activities and learned Seton cheers from their group leaders.

SCHOOL NOTES Rapid Run Middle School

Eighty eighth-graders participated in an essay contest sponsored by Village Life, a Cincinnati-based charity that helps impoverished communities in Tanzania. Students watched a video that showed disparities among American schools and then

watched a video about Village Life. They then wrote a two to three page essay that addressed the following questions: why all children deserve an education, differences in educational systems and why is it important to partner with other communities. Kimberly Taber was the Village Life essay contest winner. • The National Junior Honor Society held a

bike-a-thon to raise money for Village Life’s Bicycle Program. The money raised will finance the purchase of bikes for school children in Tanzania. Children who are able to attend secondary school in Tanzania often live greater than 15 kilometers from school and their daily trip can take three hours one-way on foot. The bicycles allow them to travel to school more quickly and safely.

The students participating in the bike-athon raised $2,000, enough to purchase 20 bikes.

Where do our crises come from? Where do our c r i s e s c o m e from? I d o n ’ t accept the idea that God causFather Lou es sufferGuntzelman ing and Perspectives crises. In this imperfect world, they come

along like hurricanes, lightening strikes causing forest fires, and volcanic eruptions. I agree with the analysis of various crises expressed by author Sue Monk Kidd. She says that the crises of life come mainly from three sources: developmental transitions, intrusive events, and internal uprisings. Developmental transitions occur naturally in

everyone’s life. We move from stage to stage though after awhile we hate the changing. Think of some of our changing stages: birth, beginning school, puberty, moving away from home, risking and forming relationships, choosing a career, entering the work force, and of course, marriage. Add to these raising children, dealing with midlife, the empty nest, retiring, losing a loved person, etc. Each occurrence usually brings varying degrees of crisis. They cause turmoil and rattle our illusion of control. There is a tug toward growth but a stronger tug to stay where we are. Intrusive events are a second source of life crises. Too many to number, they include accidents, serious illness, a loved person’s death, natural catastrophes, a miscarriage, a terminated relationship, losing our job, a wayward child, dashed dreams, etc. Though harsh on us, crises are also doorways. How we handle them changes us into bitter or better persons. The greatest factor affecting our lives for

good or ill is the attitude we take in the face of things we cannot change. Internal uprisings are the third source of personal crises. Their coming is usually subtle and unspecified. We may begin to notice a vague sense of restlessness, emptiness, or a tinge of depression that hangs on. There may be spiritual doubts, insomnia, blossoming addictions, heightened anxiety, etc. We try to explain them by the terminology of today – stress, burnout, exhaustion. From where do these come? There is a life-force within us straining toward wholeness. What do we think pulls us through all the stages of growth and development in our lives? This life-force has its own ways of getting our attention when healthy development is stymied or stuck. Creating some sort of inner crises in us is its usual technique. Typically we only make significant changes when we hurt. Such crises are meant to nudge us toward some doorway we need to pass through.

The trouble is, we never think of a crisis in this way. We just pour another drink, get busy, or use our cell phone. A crises is always considered as something wrong, not something potentially helpful. Such thinking keeps us from looking for the new doorway. A crisis can be a holy summons to become more the person God made us to be. The best way to meet the crises of life is to admit them, name as specifically as we can the feelings we are experiencing, spend time in genuine reflection (seek competent help if necessary), and be painfully honest with ourselves. In short: feel, reflect, learn, and seek understanding which is the key. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Mastering the art of salmon grilling With all the hype about the movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Julie & Julia,â&#x20AC;? anyone who has what we call a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Julia Childâ&#x20AC;? story is sharing it. So today Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sharing mine. I was u n d e r deadline for this column Rita and the Heikenfeld s u b j e c t was cookRitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen ing with wine. On a whim, I called Julia and, of course, she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;outâ&#x20AC;? but the secretary said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d give her the message. â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK,â&#x20AC;? I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never hear.â&#x20AC;? About a half hour later the phone rang and my husband, Frank, answered and said the call was for me. When I asked him who it was he simply Child said â&#x20AC;&#x153;some elderly lady.â&#x20AC;? Well, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have mattered if it were a young lady; I was under deadline and had no time to chitchat. When I picked up the phone and said hello, the voice that said hello back was â&#x20AC;Ś Juliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s! I almost dropped the phone. She was so nice, answered every question, and then just asked about my family and me. We talked for a total of 30 minutes, 10 of which was professional and the rest was personal. And guess what? She even sent me a signed thank you note. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my Julia story and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why she was so loved and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why my copy of her book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mastering the Art of French Cookingâ&#x20AC;? is dog-eared with use.

Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pan-grilled salmon with lemon verbena and dill.

Perfectly grilled salmon

The 70-30 rule applies to any seafood on the grill. Have the grill hot, lightly brush both sides of the fish with oil, and start grilling skin side up with the grill closed as much as possible. (Or just put a disposable pan over the fish). Leave it alone until about 70 percent of the fish is done on the first side. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know it by the looks and also if it will release easily. This allows the fish to form a nice crust. Turn it and finish cooking. The rule seven to 10 minutes per inch of thickness works well, too. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I season mine: Brush four salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each, with skin (or not) on both sides with olive or other oil. Season both sides with salt and 1â &#x201E;4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (this is enough for all four) and the juice of a lime (about 2 tablespoons). Grill as indicated above.

Easy zucchini pineapple peach jam

For several readers who wanted this recipe again. Go to taste on the sugar. I find 3 cups is plenty, but most folks like 4-5. A nonstick pan is best for this. Use your favorite flavor of Jell-O.

Can you help?

Boil zucchini in water for 5 minutes. Drain well and return to pan. Add sugar and pineapple. Boil 10 minutes, stirring frequently so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stick. Remove from heat and stir in Jell-O. Cool, spoon into jars and refrigerate.

Members of Boy Scout Troop 301, chartered by St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Westminster Union Church, recently spent 10 days hiking in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico at the Philmont Scout Ranch. The Scouts and their leaders covered 70 miles, carrying everything they need as they trekked from camp to camp, facing steep climbs and sometimes traveling through bear and mountain lion territory. Activities at the different camps included rock climbing, mountain biking, fly fishing and gold prospecting. The trip also included a conservation project in which Scouts learned and participated in the upkeep of Philmontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ecosystem.

The city/county should have let Mr. Brown leave town (with his team) when he made the threat. Now we are in debt for a multimillion dollar stadium, used only a few days a year, for a predisposed mediocre team owned by someone who cares more about the “bottom line” than fielding a winning team.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bipartisanship needed

During the recent congressional break, many of our representatives in Washington are taking time to speak with their constituents at town hall meetings across the country. It has now been reported that Steve Driehaus (or his handlers) have decided the demand is so great to attend his event that tickets must be issued and, in a true gesture of bipartisanship, the local Democratic clubs will be assigned the task of distributing said tickets. These clubs claim Republicans will not be excluded from the meeting, but I won’t be holding my breath. Clearly, the Democratic party does not want Rep. Driehaus to face the same type of outraged taxpayers who have voiced their opinions at other meetings and have been vilified by the media. This issue is too important to the future of our great country to exclude half of the population from the dialogue and instead throw a supporter-only “love-in” where attendees can pat each other’s back and sing “Kumbaya.”

Shame on the Democrats for talking inclusion in public, but privately conspiring to keep their candidate insulated from opposing views, and shame on Mr. Driehaus for meekly capitulating to the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank. Scott Heile Fourson Drive Delhi Township

Looking back at Harvest Home Fair

The 2009 Harvest Home Fair will be the milestone 150th! The Kiwanis Club of Cheviot-Westwood has sponsored the last 71 fairs and we are proud of its history. The founding editor of The Western Hills Press and a Charter Member of The Cheviot-Westwood Club, Albert Huneke wrote: “Early in its history, The Club was confronted with a community challenge and urged to accept that task by the first and only two-term president, John J. O’Rourke, Business Manager of The Western Hills Press. The newly formed Kiwanis Club accepted the challenge. So only a year after The Kiwanis Club was established in mid 1937 as the community’s newest organization, the demise of the community’s oldest organization appeared inevitable. The Green Township Harvest Home Association, bankrupt and with aging leadership, voted to discontinue its annual Festival after 79 years without a miss dur-

ing times of war and peace, depression and prosperity. The young Kiwanis Club with 26 charter members assumed the sponsorship of the 80th annual Festival in 1939 (70 years ago). The GTHHA directors transferred the full title to the Festival to a new Board of young eager Kiwanians under the chairmanship of Dr. Foster Williams, a third generation community physician and the third generation of Williams physicians to chair the Harvest Home Committee. His father, Dr. John Williams and his grandfather, Dr. Peter Williams, were his predecessors in both capacities. Foster Williams served as general chairman for 31 years, 19391970, and the Dr. Foster Williams Tot Lot on the Harvest Home Park grounds is a lasting memorial to his longtime dedication.

He was designated as Chairman Emeritus until his death in 1976. The City of Cheviot had gained $25,000 from a bond issue to establish a municipal park on the historic site of Harvest Home Grove and the Village of Cheviot had purchased the land from the Harvest Home Association. The sole assets acquired by The Kiwanis Club were “lumber, seats, ropes, flag, tables, buildings (but not the dance pavilion) and the right to use the Harvest Home Park for the Festival.” Lacking operating cash, it was necessary for Kiwanis to raise a ‘starter fund’ to underwrite their first festival and a fund of $270.50 was subscribed by individual Kiwanians and community businesses that were just emerging from the great Depression. With that pool, the 80th annual Festival wound up $112.25 in the black! Dr. William Gerhardt is the historian for the Cheviot-Westwood Kiwanis.

Do your part to prepare for H1N1 As H1N1 flu continues to circulate both locally and nationally, Hamilton County Public Health is working to prepare for vaccine distribution as well as possible widespread illness this fall. Since 2001, public health agencies have been working hard to ensure we are prepared to handle emergency situations that might arise from natural disasters, terrorist attacks or disease pandemics. While governments and public health agencies are hard at work, there are things everyone can – and should – do to stay healthy. H1N1 virus seems to spread the same way seasonal flu spreads: Mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with flu. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. That’s why practicing proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette is critical: • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If soap and water are not near by, use an alcohol-based hand cleaner. • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If a tissue is not available, use the inside of your elbow to cover your cough or sneeze, not your hands. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. • Try to avoid close contact with sick people. Try to stay six feet away from people who are coughing or sneezing. • If you are sick, you should stay home until you are feverfree, without the use of feverreducing medicine, for at least 24

hours. As we anticipate H1N1 and regular flu season, there are some additional ways to protect yourself and help stop the spread of disease in our community.

Tim Ingram Community Press guest columnist Get informed

This is a rapidly changing situation. I encourage you to updated information by visiting www.hamiltoncountyhealth.com and www.cdc.gov/ h1n1flu regularly.

Get vaccinated

Vaccines are the most powerful public health tool for control of flu and everyone should consider receiving the H1N1 vaccine, upon availability. People that are at high risk for illness and therefore are a priority to receive the H1N1 vaccine include: • Pregnant women • People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age • Health care and emergency services personnel • People between the ages of 6 months through 24 years of age • People ages 25 through 64 years with chronic health disorders or weakened immune systems Don’t forget about the seasonal flu vaccine! There is a lot of discussion about H1N1 flu, but the usual seasonal flu viruses are still expected to cause illness this fall and winter. While it won’t protect you

against H1N1 flu, the single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot each fall. By getting a flu shot, you ensure that you will stay healthy and that you will not spread the flu to those who are at high risk for serious flu complications, such as the elderly, young children and people with certain health conditions.

Parents

• Review proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette with your children now – don’t wait until they get sick. • Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home for a week or so; a supply of over-thecounter medicines, alcohol-based hand rubs, tissues and other related items could be useful and help avoid the need to make trips out in public while you are sick and contagious. • Make plans for emergency child care in case your child is ill and unable to attend school.

Businesses

• Discuss leniency for sick days to accommodate parents that may need to stay home with sick children. • Review business continuity plans and think about what your organization will do if there are many employees out sick.

Churches

• Encourage members to cover their coughs and sneezes appropriately. • Hang up informational posters or distribute educational flyers. Tim Ingram is the commissioner of Hamilton County Public Health.

The Mercy of Mercy High School volleyball team will be a younger squad in 2009 after going 21-6 and falling in the regional finals a year ago. “We’re going to be working to find our identity early in the season,” head coach Denise Harvey said. The team does return some strong talent in seniors Julie Murray and Carly Mazza and sophomores Lindsey Dinkelacker and Megan Wanstrath. “We don’t have as much experience this year but we should be competitive with some young arms to back us up,” Harvey said.

Despite finishing at 1213 in 2008, Oak Hills High School aims to compete for a league title while also hoping for a successful tournament run this fall. Oak Hills finished with a league record of 6-3 in the Greater Miami Conference while taking fourth place last fall. Lakota East (19-5, 9-0) finished first in the GMC followed by second-place Mason (19-3, 8-1) and third-place Lakota West (15-12, 7-2).

Seton

The Seton High School tennis team returns five starters from a 10-7 2008 squad and should be a very deep team in 2009. Senior Danielle Custer and juniors Kelly Simpkins, Cathie Bisher, Katy Schwaeble and Ellie Cook return for the Saints. The team also adds some promising new players in seniors Sarah Hensley, Natalie Watson and Jenna Bailey and juniors Kilee Weiskittel and Laney Sportsman. “I really have no great No. 1 but I don’t lose anything after our No. 1. We are good all the way though,” said head coach Bill Mathews. “We may not

have any great players but we have no real weaknesses either.” Mathews said he expects the team to be the best on the west side of the city and that he expects to finish in the middle of the league, behind loaded tennis teams at Mount Notre Dame, Ursuline and St. Ursula. Mathews said new Seton Athletic Director Janie Shaffer is a big supporter of tennis and he hopes that will help more people become interested in the sport. “Hopefully we can push more girls into tennis in the future,” he said. “We do have an excellent junior varsity team this year so we may be even better next year.” The Press did not receive Taylor High School’s tennis information before press time.

ANTHONY AMORINI/STAFF

Gene Samborsky grabs a set of varied irons which he uses to fit clubs to an individual golfer's swing Thursday, July 30.

The art of (novice) chipping “The pros do it with pizzaz, but that’s not our goal here,” golf pro Gene Samborsky jokes as he gives a lesson in chipping. Samborsky calls it a no-no swing: No wrist movement during the stroke, backward or forward. Simply position the ball even with your back foot for a low shot with roll or in the middle of about distance and direction,” Samborsky says. “You have to set up correctly first with your alignment and then swing with confidence.” I install a new pre-shot routine at Samborsky’s suggestion to help create consistency with every shot. At the end of the session, Samborsky loans me his clubs until I can score a set of my own fit to my swing. And the summer is over, or at least for me it feels that way. “The swing is looking a ton better. You’ve come a long way,” Samborsky said. “But remember, playing isn’t practicing.” The final words are meant to inspire, encouraging me to become a driving range junkie rather than just another guy out to hack his way through 18 holes (two

your stance for additional loft. And then keep those wrists from moving. “Without the wrists there is one less moving part with your swing and it makes things simpler,” Samborsky said. The simple strategy is a quick and easy way to improve the short game. boxes of balls, countless tees, bottles of Aspirin, etc.). But since I’m newly addicted, I don’t think it’s such a tall order.

Talented players take golf lessons to refine skills. Others just picked up their first set of clubs and lessons are a starting point. And then there are golfers like me, individuals who Samborsky have played the game for a decade (or more) but certainly don’t look it when taking 100-plus strokes to finish 18 holes. So I began a series of four lessons with golf pro Gene Samborsky focused on the simple of goal of improving to the point I can FOLLOW AND FIND the ball for 18 holes. And guess what? It worked. Lesson No. 4 was an eagerly anticipated session for me: The playing lesson. After spending an hour on the driving range loosening up and learning about chipping, Samborsky and I start with a short par 3 hole at Robin’s Nest Golf Course. Samborsky sizes up the distance and hands me a six iron. I make solid contact and send a straight shot toward the green, which only misses the dance floor by about 10 feet. A month ago, my ball would have been in the corn field flanking the fairway. Utilizing my new style of chipping, I pop the ball toward the flag stick and it ends up about four feet from the hole. A month ago, my bladed shot would have sent the ball soaring to the other side of the green. I tap in and finish with a par. It’s not even worth thinking about what my score could have been a month ago. Let’s just say the dreaded snowman (eight strokes) was never out of the question for me. But maybe it is now. Seeing as I was hopeless in June, it’s a proud moment for me and no doubt for my instructor. “And there’s your par,” Samborsky said with a smile. The grin is shared and we go on to play through a half dozen holes while talking course management the whole way. “On the course it’s all

More than 28,000 readers of all ages – preschoolers, kids, teens, parents, grandparents and other adults – discovered the pleasures of reading together during the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County’s 36th annual summer reading program. From June 1 to July 31, they explored books, attended programs and won prizes just for reading. The preschool grand prize winners, who each received a Tough Trike, at local library branches were Charlie Baker at the Delhi Township branch and Eli Hartman at the Covedale branch. The kids grand prize winners, who each received a one-year basic family membership to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, were Mary Hein, Delhi Township branch; Autumn Rollinson, Price Hill branch; and Sam Siegel, Covedale branch. Malcolm Wilkins won the grand prize for teens, a $25 Target gift card, at the Price Hill branch. Their names were entered in the prize drawings after they completed four levels of the summer reading program. This year’s Creature Feature theme captured the imaginations of preschoolers, kids and teens. They encountered creatures of all kinds between the covers of books and inperson at the library’s programs like “Wildlife Comes to You” with the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. Upon completing the final level of the program, more than 17,000 of the summer readers earned the book prize and displayed their “A Library Superstar Lives Here” yard signs. Overall program participation increased by nearly 6 percent from last year. Plus by participating alongside the Library Superstars in their lives, adults became reading role models. Research suggests that seeing adults engaged in reading for pleasure is one of the best ways to promote childhood literacy and help children grow into literate adults.

Girl Scouts, Mercy High School host survival seminar By Kurt Backscheider

“I have two teenage daughters and I really wanted to do something for my girls and my troop,” Phipps said. “I want to educate as many girls as possible.” Gardner said she and her husband, Mike, a former police officer, created the Survive Institute because the safety advice of the past no longer applies to today.

kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Green Township resident Debbie Phipps said she wants Westsiders to be empowered with the knowledge and confidence they need to survive in dangerous situations. As the troop leader for the eighth-grade Girl Scout troop at St. Jude School, Phipps particularly wants teenagers and young girls to learn awareness and habits that can help keep them out of risky situations. Her Girl Scouts and Mother of Mercy High School have partnered to offer Survive, a couragebased self-defense seminar presented by Debbie Gardner, a former Hamilton County Sheriff deputy turned motivational speaker and self-defense instructor. The seminar runs 7-9 p.m. Monday, Aug. 31, at Mercy High School’s theater. Registration begins at 6:30 p.m., and the cost is $5 at the door. “Our seminar is so much more than literal self-

dle it yourself.” Phipps said her friend’s daughter was attacked in her college dorm, and she wanted to offer the seminar as a community service event to teach girls to be more proactive and help them learn how to stay away from dangerous situations.

“Fear is contagious, but so is courage. Pick one,” she said. Phipps said the seminar is open to adults as well. The event is recommended for those ages 12 and older. “I hope we get as many people there as possible,” she said. “All of us should be more aware of our surroundings and able to help ourselves.”

“It infuriated me that the subject was being dealt with on a candy level, and what we needed was steak,” she said. While the seminar does provide physical techniques on how to strike someone who is attacking you, the training session is more about teaching people to be confident and control themselves in a scary situation.

Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast.

There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least.

Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
