Teen ascends to Eagle Scout By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com Helping out at his Boy Scout troop fundraiser sparked the perfect Eagle Scout project for Douglas Warren. The 16-year-old Oak Hills High School junior is a member of Troop 302 at St. Lawrence Church in Price Hill. He said he was helping with a fundraiser when someone mentioned a family cemetery badly in need of a clean up. “It’s a family graveyard on River Road,” Warren said. “It needed cleaning up and beautifying and that’s what I did.” He also built a new walking path to make navigating the family cemetery a bit easier. Warren, who is enrolled in

Douglas Warren was honored by Delhi Township trustees on becoming the third Eagle Scout for his Price Hill troop. computer classes at Diamond Oaks, said he’s stayed with Scouting for three main reasons. “My family, friends and my
Scout Master Bill Aufermann,” Warren said. “They’ve supported me and encouraged me all the way.” Warren was honored by Delhi Township trustees at their Aug. 26 meeting. “This is an experience you will keep with you your whole life,” said Trustee Al Duebber. Warren is the son of Kevin and Peggy Warren and the third Troop 302 member to make it to Eagle Scout status.
By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com Delhi Township police and residents should know soon whether their efforts to keep two convicted murderers was successful. Raymond Kassow and Watterson Johnson were scheduled to have parole hearings this week. Police Lt. Jeff Braun said he had appealed in person to one member of the parole board last month. He said he was given no indication whether that meeting or the letter-writing campaign the township encouraged would sway the parole board. “We wanted to let them know our feeling that these men should never get out of jail,” Braun said. The two men, along with John Leigh, were convicted of robbing the Cabinet Supreme Savings and Loan in 1969. They killed four Delhi Township and Price Hill women – Helen Huebner, Lillian Dewald and sisters Luella and Henrietta Stitzel – before fleeing the Delhi Road bank. Leigh died in prison in 2000. “It was a despicable act that people remember to this day,” Braun said.
Delhi rooster takes grand prize at fair By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com Doug Elsaesser has given the family business an ironic honor. His family’s The Farm is know for its chicken dinners and now it can boast a grand champion among the flock. Elsaesser and his year-old rooster Brutus earned the grand status at the Hamilton County Fair. While Brutus won’t be served up at The Farm’s dining room, he is perfectly content to strut his stuff for patrons when asked. Elsaesser lives in Green Township but keeps his tiny brood of chickens in an enclosed area behind the restaurant and reception facility his family has owned for decades. Brutus is a black Jersey Giant that likely will bulk up to 13 pounds from his current 9 pounds of poultry pride. Elsaesser, with the help of his

Doug Elsaesser tends to his flock of chickens while holding Brutus, who was deemed the Grand Champion at the Hamilton County Fair. wife, Veronika, has been raising chickens since he was boy. “My father gave us quail eggs to hatch and I can remember taking care of them until these little fuzz balls hatched,” he said. He’s been hooked on fowl ever since. It’s in keeping with his family heritage.
The family started with barn dances on what was then a 300acre spread on Anderson Ferry Road. It was his grandfather, Herman, who started the tradition of hard work and persistence when he came to America from Germany at the turn of the century.
When Herman was denied a free meal at what was then the Palace Hotel in downtown Cincinnati, the Price Hill man made good his promise to return to the business one day as the owner. “He turned it into the Cincinnati Hotel and Cricket Tavern,” said Dan Elsaesser, who owns The Farm with his mother, Dolores. “He also donated a lot of land for the St. William parish.” Brutus appears to be indifferent to the family history. He’s more concerned with keeping his small group of clucking admirers in line. While none of Elsaesser’s chickens will wind up as the main course next door, the family does use their eggs occasionally at home. “They’re just a lot of fun, they eat bugs and now,” Elsaesser said, “we can say we have the best chicken in the county in more ways than one.”

Oaks Hills schools score big on state report card; Cincinnati schools drop in overall scores By Heidi Fallon
About the scores
hfallon@communitypress.com
The Oak Hills Local School District has received its first “Excellent With Distinction� rating on the state report card. Rapid Run Middle School also achieved the same status and Oak Hills High School has earned an Excellent rating – the highest possible rating a high school can achieve. “This is a tremendous credit to the work of our faculty, students, parents and community stakeholders. It shows that when a community has high expectations and dedication to academic achievement students thrive and maximize their potential,� said Jeff Brandt, Oak Hills High School principal. Five other schools in the district were rated Excellent – Bridgetown and Delhi middle schools, and C. O. Harrison, J. F. Dulles and Springmyer elementary schools. Delshire and Oakdale elementary schools received Effective ratings. Released by the Ohio Department of Education Aug. 25, the ratings are for the 2008-2009 school year.
See the scoresTo see scores from the district and individual schools, go to www.reportcard.ohio.gov.
Based on a formula of classroom performance and other indicators, school districts are rated: • Excellent with Distinction • Excellent • Effective • Continuous Improvement • Academic Watch • Academic Emergency “The fact that we were able to obtain such a high honor is a great testament to our excellent staff, the dedication of our parents and their involvement with the schools, and the hard work and dedication of all our students,â€? said John Stoddard, Rapid Run Middle School principal. Except of Oakdale Elementary School, the other seven Oak Hills school met or exceeded the value added category. It charts whether students make a year’s worth of academic progress. In the Cincinnati Public Schools District, after seeing incremental gains last year,
the district took a step backward in 2008-09, according to most measurements that make up the complex report cards. A new rule this year strictly limited how special tests for severely disabled students count in the aggregate scores, which officials blamed for the losses. Cincinnati Public met six out of 30 indicators, down from nine last year. Each indicator measures a particular grade level's passing rate on various subject tests. Schools could no longer count alternative assessments for more than 1 percent of students, regardless of how many qualify. CPS says 3.8 percent of its students qualify under government standards. "The 1-percent cap on alternative assessments did have a slight negative impact on our district, and I'm sure, districts around the country with large numbers of students with disabilities," said Superintendent Mary Ronan. However, CPS found good news elsewhere: Under the "value-added" measurement added to the report cards in 2008, CPS students made more progress than would be
Once a year, Ohio rates its public schools and districts using a variety of measures that include scores and passage rates on statewide tests, graduation rates for high school seniors, attendance trends and participation rates for students in grades 3-11. The state publishes its report cards on schools at the Web site www.ode.state.oh.us. The report cards reflect statewide and federal standards. Last year Ohio added another measure, Value Added, which describes whether each student made a year’s worth of academic progress – or more or less – as reflected by test scores. Below are a few ways to evaluate your school and district’s progress: State ranking, Performance Index score and Value Added designation. Source: Ohio Dept. of Education County/District/School

points from last year. The statewide average was 92.9. Throughout CPS, four schools rated Excellent, and one – Kilgour School – was rated Excellent with Distinction. Nine additional schools were rated Effective. The district's remaining 44 schools were rated Continuous Improvement or below. Ronan said 11 of the schools that dropped one level in the state's six-tier classification system did so because of the new rule on alternative assessments. Carson School in West Price Hill jumped two levels, from Academic Emergency to Continuous Improvement.

Zoz said the department’s insurance company decided to keep Wandstrat on what it terms a watch list for three years. Zoz said that means Wandstrat will not be allowed to operate any department equipment during that time. “I learned my lesson and am grateful to the trustees and administration,� Wandstrat said. “I’ll take my licks, but I am sorry for the harm I caused my family, the residents of Delhi Township and the department. “I am grateful to have a job and that that job is in Delhi.� Wandstrat, who returned to duty last month, also works part-time for Cheviot where he began his firefighting career at the age of 18.

His driving privileges were restricted to driving to and from work, and several hours for personal needs. In June, he was found not guilty of abusing those privileges and restricted to driving only fire department equipment. Late last month, Wandstrat agreed to a demotion from his lieutenant’s rank to firefighter and will not receive any back pay for his suspension time. Wandstrat risked losing his job with the fire department if the insurance company had deemed him too high a risk. “He is a highly trained, intelligent member of our department who needed to learn to make better decisions,� said Fire Chief Bill Zoz.

She served as assistant principal at Seton High School, of which she is also an alumna, and was the principal at John Paul II School in Springfield Township before coming to St. Teresa. Willmes said she wanted a career in education because she loves working with children.

For every tree purchased, an individual leafshaped plate will be engraved and placed on a plaque at the Glen Carder Lodge in Delhi Township Park. The engraving includes the name of the person being honored and the name of the donor. The donor may request an area of a park for the tree to be planted, however the final decision will be made by the Parks and Recreation Department.

Oak Hills looks to step up offense in week 2
La Salle aims to maintain strong defense after 7-3 win By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
One play made the difference. With his team trailing 3-0, La Salle High School senior wide receiver Matt Woeste made a juggling 64-yard touchdown against Oak Hills during the Crosstown Showdown at Nippert Stadium Friday, Aug. 28. The Lancers won 7-3. “(Oak Hills was) daring us to throw,” La Salle head coach Tom Grippa said. “They put seven guys in the box, and we thought we’d be able to get one or two deep balls.” And they did. La Salle junior quarterback Andrew Kummer was 13-for-26 passing for 173 yards and the aforementioned touchdown to Woeste. He also threw one interception. It was the Lancers defense, however, that won the game. “I think I have a good defense,” Grippa said. “We have a lot of guys back from last year and a good defensive staff.” La Salle held Oak Hills to just three points on a 37-yard field goal by Charlie Montgomery in the second quarter. The key to the game was stopping Oak Hills on fourth down as the Highlanders were inside the La Salle five with just a few ticks left on the clock before halftime. “I think the game was won on the goal-line stand,” said Grippa, who was particularly impressed with senior linebacker Joe Alexander, senior defensive end Kennan Gibbs and junior defensive back Zach Cox. Senior running back Zach Abbatiello rushed 10 times for 22 yards for La Salle, fumbling near the end zone in the second half. “Zach is our best player,” Grippa said. “That might hurt some of (my players’) feelings, but I give him the ball and he’s going to fumble but once in a blue moon. It’s not going to happen very often.” The Highlanders, meanwhile, were led by junior tailback Tommy Konkoly, who rushed 20 times for 66 yards, and Steve Gebing, who threw for 47 yards and ran for 32 more. “Oak Hills is a good team,” Grippa said. “(Oak Hills head coach) Kurry (Commins) is a great coach, and he has an outstanding staff. We had to fight out butts off.” Oak Hills will look to add more points to the board when the team plays at Harrison Sept. 4, while La Salle plays at Covington Catholic

Elder
In 2007, the Elder Panthers went 18-4 and won the GCL with a 10-1 conference record. In 2008, they won just five games overall and sputtered their way to a last-place league finish. Elder, however, hopes its senior-laden squad can return to form in 2009. Leading the way will be Zac Cruetzinger, Andrew Frede, Jose Freudiger, David Glatt, Joe Herrmann, Zach Martini, Jake Meyer, Chad Thornton and Eric Winter. Junior midfielder Nathan Sexton and junior forward Cory Cason should also see significant minutes, as they hope to bolster an offense that was held to one goal or fewer 11 times last season.

La Salle
Fourth-year varsity starter Kyle Smith leads a pack of seven returning starters back to the pitch for the La Salle Lancers. Smith produced eight goals and three assists for La Salle in 2008 while fin-
ishing third in the Greater Catholic League South Division with 19 points. “This year’s team will have a great mix of experience and youth,” sixth-year head coach Steve Schulten said via e-mail. “We return several players with two years of varsity experience that potentially could provide strong leadership for our young players. “For this team to succeed, we will have to defend well and finish chances early in matches,” Schulten added. Alongside Smith, La Salle’s returning starters include Nick Breyley, Eric Powers, Andrew Engel, Chris Fisbeck, Jon Feuchter and Nate Ballinger. Several new additions will also immediately contribute including Mack Robinson, Logan Sillies and Brian Allanben. La Salle posted an 8-7-3 overall record last season while taking third in the GCL South Division at 5-42. St. Xavier (13-5-3) took first place in the GCL-South Division followed by second-place Moeller (10-5-3, 7-2-2). La Salle opens GCL South Division play with a road game against St. Xavier at 7:15 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19.
Oak Hills
A sextet of third-year varsity players lead Oak Hills back to the pitch after the Highlanders finished at 5-10-3 in 2008. Oak Hills’ third-year varsity players include seniors Mike Hertsenberg, Riley Kilgore, Brandon R a a b e , Hertsenberg Cameron Neely and C h a r l i e Montgomery and junior Micheal Beam. Seniors Shane BateRaabe man and Joe Ilg also return as starters for second-year head coach John Mirizzi. “The work ethic of the returning players seems to indicate that this could be a promising season for the Highlanders,” Mirizzi said via e-mail. “The team is anchored by eight returning upperclassmen, most of whom are starters, who are returning with significant varsity experience. “With this experience comes a sense of comfort and depth on the roster this
season,” Mirizzi added. A number of newcomers will also contribute immediately including senior Dimitri Lenovski, senior Logan O’Brien, junior James Ryan, junior Chris Lehan, junior Matt Callabro, junior Nick DeMeo, junior Nick Hayden, junior Nick Smith, junior Justin Moore, junior Logan Johnson and junior James Luebbe.
St. Xavier
The Bombers are coming of a successful 2008 season in which they won a GCL title and advanced all the way to the regional semifinals in the state tournament before losing to a speedy Milford team. In order to repeat – or surpass – that success from a year ago, the Bombers will need great play not only from returning senior starters Chris Nam (midfielder), Jack Wells (midfielder) and Nick Crowley (forward), but also from sophomore newcomers P.J. Suess (midfielder), Ethan Frey (defender) and Andrew Pund (defender). St. X will be tested early this season, as it hosts the Ohio Jesuit Cup Aug. 29-30. Competing teams include Toledo St. John’s, Walsh Jesuit and Cleveland St. Ignatius, which is ranked No. 1 in the state. The Bombers may take a few hits early in the season, but they will benefit in the long run from playing teams of this caliber. “A tough schedule will have us ready for the GCL and a tournament run,” head coach Henry Ahrens said.
Western Hills
The Mustangs are coming off a rough 2008 season in which they struggled to find the win column, but first-year head coach Randall Bruegge is focused on bringing a new mentality to the program. “They didn’t do to well last year, but the main focus this year will be on teamwork and worrying less about individual performances,” he said. Leading the Mustangs are seniors Cyrus Flander (sweeper/midfielder) and Chris Kunkemoeller (keeper/striker), as well as sophomore Francis Gyau (midfielder). “We just want to improve on last season and get more parental support,” Bruegge said. “It’s a good group of guys, and they should turn some heads this year.”

Oak Hills, Seton girls take to soccer field By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
Several of the top local girls’ soccer teams are back in action; here’s a run down of teams as they head into the season.
Mother of Mercy
After finishing a pedestrian 7-10 last year, the Bobcats have high hopes for 2009, as they return 11 seniors. “While all of them will not start, they will provide lots of leadership and depth,” head coach Mike Rust said. Among the returners are Katie Bachus, Kelly O’Brien, Elle Ventre, Megan Brandt, Hannah Borell, Kelsey Zwergel and Lindsey Keck. They will be joined by newcomers Anna Eggleston, Kelsie Dirksing, Rebecca Tumlin and Hannah Stowe. The Bobcats finished fifth in the GGCL last season.
Oak Hills
The graduation of seven seniors at the close of the 2008 season and several
Feist Reddington key injuries has provided Oak Hills High School with plenty of offseason adversity to overcome. Before the 2009 season could even start, Oak Hills had already lost two-year starting defender Becca Bietrich and first-team All Great Miami Conference keeper Kaitlyn Murphy to injury. “(We) lost over half of (our) goal scoring due to graduation and injury,” 19th-year head coach Chuck Laumann said via email. “(It) seems like a dim forecast, but I have guarded optimism going into the season. “We do have a good group returning, 11 with varsity experience, who contributed to last year’s successes,” Laumann added. Murphy had 12 shutouts and only allowed nine goals as the Highlanders’ keeper in 2008.
Oak Hills finished at 134-1 while taking second place in its Greater Miami Conference with a league record of 7-2 last fall. Mason won the GMC title in 2008 with a 7-1-1 record in the conference and an overall record of 16-3-1. Five starters return from the 2008 team including senior Katie Osborn (defender), senior Amanda Meyer (defender), senior Emily Reddington (midfielder), junior Niki Handlon (forward) and junior Sam Amend (forward). Handlon was named first-team All-GMC last season after leading the Highlanders with 15 goals and seven assists. Junior Kelsey Laumann returns to the field after missing the 2008 season with an injury. Before the injury, Kelsey was named first-team AllGMC as a freshman after netting 13 goals and five assists in 2007. As a result of graduations and injuries, several new additions will need to contribute immediately including junior Tori Esterkamp (defender, midfielder), sophomore Emily Spraul (defender) and sen-
ior Katie Beck (keeper).
Seton
The Seton High School girls’ soccer team has five starters back from a 7-5-7 team in 2008 but lacks experience across the board. The Saints graduated 12 seniors from the 2008 team so there are several players that need to get acquainted to the varsity level. “We only have five players with a lot of varsity experience,” said head
Bridgetown

coach Mollie Harloff. “This year is about getting the new players used to the varsity level.” Seton returns Mollie Williams, Katie McLanahan, Olivia Lenzer, Elyse Brown, Katie Phillips, Abbey Scherer and Stacie Volker. Molly Rebenneck and Carm Lucas are two new players to watch for Seton.
Western Hills
The Western Hills High School Mustangs went 3-10
last season but hope that returning starters Amanda Ross, Tabitha Beebe, Danielle Rankin and Megan Miller can lead the team to greater success in 2009. They’ll get help from newcomers Krystal Kelley, Alivia Durbin, Meghan West, Katelyn Kelley and Breanna Steger. “This year will be a growing year,” first-year head coach Amy Miller said. “The girls are committed to do well and perform to the best of their abilities.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Budget plan
I am glad to see Steve Driehaus and his Washington cronies have such a interest in the housing and urban development programs, with a budget well into the billions of dollars. I know how you can meet your budget: Have all the sick grandmas and grandpas that use these agencies put to sleep. You remember, that was part of the government health care plan where you would reward doctors who convince the sick and elderly to jump out the window or something like that. Any person, group or party that even suggests such a sick, sick, sick idea has lost all creditably now and in the future. Congress wants to be exempt and have their own health care. Now, isn’t that special. I bet some of you are suffering from voters remorse, the recession goes on and the national debt goes up. Some people in congress say you are un-American if you don’t
agree with their plans. I’m sorry, I am American and I strongly disagree. Bill McCauslin Pineknot Drive Delhi Township
Driehaus’ conscience
Joanne Kemmerer’s excellent column, which appeared several weeks ago, exposed Congressman Steve Driehaus for voting to fund Planned Parenthood. Kevin Drummond’s response on Aug. 19 was simply a tired, useless defense of Planned Parenthood (the largest abortion chain in the nation) and of the abortion industry’s agenda – promoting promiscuity and selling abortion. Drummond conveniently ignored the main point: Driehaus, who claims to be prolife, seems to be trying to serve two masters ... both his conscience and his Democratic party, despite the party’s strong pro abortion platform (www.ontheissues.org/Celeb/Democratic_Party_ Abortion.htm).
Sadly, this time he chose to join supporters of the abortion industry and uphold the Democratic party’s anti-life position and now Driehaus must live with his conscience. Joan Loebker Pineknot Drive Delhi Township
Focus on health care
I just read the article from Steve Driehaus about “Pushing for Section 8 reform” and I am wondering why Driehaus isn’t trying to explain the national health bill (something that is everyone’s concern). Is he afraid because he is for the national heath bill that people won’t vote for him or that he can’t answer our questions? For example, he stated that tax money will not be used for abortion. That is totally wrong. Abortion is an approved medical procedure and the bill pays for all approved medical procedures unless stated differently in the bill, which it is not.
Come on Steve, explain the health bill and don’t worry about Section 8 when the whole country is angry about the health bill. Gary Borgmann Bradford Court Sayler Park
Police overkill
I do not like to sound as if I am anti-police but with a shrinking tax base in the city of Cincinnati, I feel all departments have to work to be efficient as possible. (Last week) at an accident scene on Rapid Run, there were a total of eight police cars some having two officers in them. One was blocking traffic at Covedale and Rapid Run, two were blocking traffic at Coronado and Rapid Run, two were blocking traffic at Benz and Rapid Run even though no cars could get by the two at the other intersection, and two arrived on the scene and did nothing more than talk to the officers who were blocking the intersection at Coronado. One was making out the report

Attention Delhi residents: in particular, residents living on Greenwell between Delhi Pike and Foley Road, side streets between Delhi Pike and Foley Road, and Covedale near Delhi Park. The Delhi Press recently ran an article regarding “a new firehouse for Delhi.” In that article there was not a hint of the intended location for the “new larger firehouse.” I just obtained a copy of the application for the Federal grant money needed for the planned firehouse and have learned that the property proposed in the application is on the 400 block of Greenwell Road where Paradise Gardens currently occupies. I’ve been told that a small portion of the walking trails on one side of the road might remain but the firehouse will be built smack next to that floral area should Delhi be awarded the grant money. This entire issue is being expedited as fast as they can get it moving. By they I mean our Delhi officials and trustees such as Al Duebber and Mike Davis who are quite the champions for this
intended firehouse and in my opinion don’t care about those of us who are adamantly against this issue. Any Delhi official who is B.J. Haussler for this project, Community in my opinion to sneak Press guest trying it through, is on columnist the “not playing nice” list and can’t possibly have the best interest of the Delhi residents at hand. We need to wake up folks and see what is going down before our very eyes by people who are not using their “official capacity,” especially trustee seats, in the “best interest of Delhi citizens.” All trustees do not support this issue. Those of us who live in our homes on Greenwell oppose building a firehouse smack in the middle of our residential area. Why not rezone some of the business district such as those emptyfor-too-long buildings in the stripmall next to KFC? The larger
CH@TROOM Last week’s question
Do you think allowing casino gambling would hurt charitable events and fundraisers such as Monte Carlo nights and church festivals?
“The casinos in Indiana are 2030 minutes away from the Cincinnati area. They are not affecting local charitable events and fundraisers here or there. Those casinos bring in large tax revenues to Indiana and their local communities. Ohio could be reaping those same tax revenues and helping itself out of the tax shortfall it currently has. The guess here is Cincinnati will have the tax drain of two stadiums while Kentucky joins Indiana with enhanced gaming capabilities. So then even more Ohioans can spend their money in adjoining states. Go figure!” T.D.T. “Casino gambling is long overdue in the state of Ohio. But of course we will have plenty of
opposition from states that Ohioans go to and gamble like Indian and Michigan. They will spend millions of dollars to doom the real benefits of Ohio casinos that include: good jobs; entertainment; economic development; and revitalization of communities. Religious zealots (myopic moralist) will condemn gambling, being the purist they think they are, have yet to lie down in front of a moving Ohio car heading to Indian to gamble demanding repentance or risk the perils. These religious zealots are themselves too busy heading to Kentucky to by their cigarettes and alcohol. Lastly, Ohio casinos will not hurt charitable events. I have yet to see the archdiocese file bankruptcy because it will demand parishioners to increase their tithings and public schools refuse to hold festivals – will continue to always ask its communities to support increased spending by more school levies.” G.D.W.

building (old Central Hardware) would be a fine area for a new firehouse. Ya think?! If you want your voice heard then step up, speak up, write letters, and learn more about what has already transpired regarding this issue. Go to the township meetings and get your questions answered. (Meetings are the second and last Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. – next meeting will be Sept. 9). Will Greenwell need to be widened? What other negative ways will this affect us and our property values? What are the opinions of new-running candidates on this issue?? Call or visit our Delhi administration office to get a copy of the entire application by filling out a simple public records request (you may remain anonymous) or email the office to have a copy emailed to you. Either way, we need to bring attention to what I consider a sneaky way by our officials trying to expedite what ‘they’ favor without caring at all about what the residents want. B.J.

A healthy and well-fed pet helps make for a happier owner. Wesley Community Services’ Meals-On-Wheels program provides senior citizens with a nutritionally balanced meal each day, and now with the help of Iams Co. and SPCA, Pet Portions allows for seniors to receive free cat or dog food for their pet too. The program began in June 2006, when Meals-On-Wheels delivery drivers began to notice something in some of their clients’ homes. “We found out that some of our Meals-On-Wheels clients who have a dog or a cat were sharing their MealsOn-Wheels with their pet,” said Stephen Smookler, executive director at Wesley Community Services. Smookler said that employees at Wesley Community Services knew that the meals they delivered were beneficial for the seniors but they were not proper food for the pet. “One of the biggest problems with seniors is that they don’t take in enough food, so (sharing with their cat or dog) would cut down on the food they take in,” said Smookler. He said there are somewhere between 75 and 100 Meals-OnWheels recipients receive pet food for their cat or a dog, which is about 20 percent of their clients. Wesley Community Services understands the importance of a pet in their clients’ life, he said, because often times much of their life may revolve around the animal. “If you’re living alone and you have medical problems then that dog or cat is your whole world,” said Smookler. He said that pets bring comfort to seniors and help prevent them from feeling alone.

Family business marks 100th anniversary By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
The red paint stains on the cement basement floor at Pioneer Vending are a reminder to Bill Westerhaus of the first job he had at his family’s business. “One of my first jobs here was painting the legs on pinball machines red,” he said. “I started working here when I was 14 years old.” Westerhaus put the paintbrush down long ago, but he still plugs away at the vending business his grandfather, Joseph Westerhaus, founded in 1909. Bill now runs the business with his wife, Terri. Pioneer Vending, which has been located in the same building on Kessen Avenue in Cheviot since 1941, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this August. The company’s roots trace back to when Joseph Westerhaus would play the guitar in local bars and bring a portable pinball machine with him. Eventually one pinball machine grew to two, and so on. Today the company oversees the operation of 3,500 different games and machines. Terri Westerhaus said her husband’s integrity, honesty and caring soul are the main reasons he has been able to continue his grandfather’s legacy and keep the business going as it enters its tenth decade. “We are one of the largest vendors

Bill’s grandfather started the business in 1909, and the company is celebrating its 100th anniversary this August. in the United States,” she said. “It’s very rare for family businesses to be so vibrant and alive, especially when you get to the third generation.” She said the company also succeeds by constantly diversifying and thinking of ways to better serve its customers, the majority of whom are restaurant and bar owners. Pioneer
Vending offers juke boxes, video games, pool tables, cigarette machines, pinball games, electronic dart machines and beverage products to about 950 customers throughout the Tristate, she said. “Some of our customers have been with us for 50 years,” she said. “Our customers know they can trust us because we really are a closeknit company. The people who work here care, and we really are a familyowned business with a family atmosphere.” All five of Bill and Terri’s children have worked at the company, and their oldest son is a salesman there now. Even their family dog can be seen trotting around the office from time to time. “I see us eventually being operated by the fourth generation without any question,” Terri Westerhaus said. Bill Westerhaus said he enjoys being able to satisfy the needs of his customers. He said the company’s success is the result of his father’s vision and adhering to the golden rule of treating others as you want to be treated. “I feel that I am the caretaker for my dad’s business,” he said. “The practices my dad put in place, by and large, are still applied here today in our operation. We try to treat everyone right, and it does win out in the end.” “We’ve been very blessed as well,” he said.

How do we deal with the unfairness of life? MSooner or later we know that life is not fair. It never was. It never will be. Though that fact infuriates us at times, we are powerless to change it. Rather, it presents us with the challenge of what to do with such a life or with the cynical attitude it often engenders. Even though we may be religious-minded people, God does not step in to make our lives fair. Earth is not heaven. Earth is not where all unfairness is righted. As analyst Robert A. Johnson puts it, “The world is not supposed to work. All it does effectively is produce consciousness.” It is to wake us up before we die. It is to create situations that can potentially form us by how we choose and how our egos deal with the inequities
that surround us. Spiritually we are called upon to discover that life is a mystery and a paradox. We’re forged by it, formed by it, made whole by it. Unfairness is such a part of the fabric of life that the most noble spiritual leaders who have lived among us have all been treated unfairly. In fact, it contributed to their nobility. Are we to expect to be treated better than they? Do they not try to teach us how to transcend unfairness? One of the important questions we must ask ourselves at times – and which serves as an indicator of whether we’re becoming cynical through our experience of unfairness, or more whole – is, “How do I behave in the face of things I cannot change? In the face of things that are obvi-
ously unfair?” One of the best real-life examples in someone else’s life was the example George Will wrote of years ago in Newsweek. It was about his son Jon, the oldest of four children. Jon had just turned 21 years old and his father characterized him as a happy and active young man. Yet a crucial fact was that Jon has Down syndrome. George wrote, “… this is a chromosomal defect involving degrees of mental retardation and physical abnormalities.” Then we wrote of his son’s condition words we might all remember, “Jon lost, at the instant he was conceived, one of life’s lotteries, but he was also lucky. “His physical abnormalities do not impede his vitality and his retardation is not so
severe that it interferes with life’s essential joys – receiving love, returning it, and reading baseball box scores. Jon has seen a brother two years younger surpass him in size, get a driver’s license, and leave for college, and although Jon would be forgiven for shaking his fist at the universe, he has been equable. I believe his serenity is grounded in his sense that he is a complete Jon and that is that.” George Will and his family evidently love son Jon very much. He approaches head-on the unfairness of life
wrought in their own family, and for Jon, accepting the fact that, through no fault of his own, “Jon lost one of life’s lotteries.” It’s most probable that you and I have already lost some of life’s various lotteries, and may lose some more. Does that need to be an utter catastrophe? In fact, it is not winning all the lotteries that most tests our mettle. There’s a short prayer we might offer for ourselves when life’s unfairness gets in our face: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the
things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Be on the lookout for moisture conditions in your house When you own a home, it’s always a good idea to get regular termite inspections to prevent possible infestation. But a Tristate couple who got termite treatment 10 years ago, and regular inspections since then, says they were shocked to find termites had returned with a vengeance. Debbie Harpring and her husband, Todd, had bought a termite inspection and protection plan and recently started remodeling their bedroom. “The contractor said, ‘What is that dip in your floor?’ We had to take everything out of the room. Todd said, ‘I don’t know, never noticed it – that’s where the bed has always been.’ They said well, we’ve got termites,” Debbie said. The termites were in the same spot back in 1999. At the time of that last treatment the Harprings had bought inspection and damage repair plans, so they called the termite treatment company. “The inspector came out and informed us right away it was not their problem, it was our problem because there’s too much moisture,” Debbie said. The moisture is in the crawlspace underneath their
house and it’s that moisture that attracts termites. Yet, the contract with the treatment company specifically excludes coverage if there’s moisture. “I didn’t know if we had moisture before or after. I had no idea because nobody ever said anything to us about moisture being in the crawlspace,” Debbie said. The termite treatment company had conducted inspections three times a year – but they were only checking a termite baiting system located in areas around the house. No one ever checked under the home, in the crawlspace where the termites had been found in the past. There is an access panel to the crawlspace right out back so no one has to be home for the inspectors to check. Debbie Harpring said she was quite surprised to learn termites are back and that they had done considerable damage to her home. This occurred even though she was supposed to get regular inspections. “I think that’s what the whole contract is about, they’re supposed to inspect my home to make sure there were no termites – and that was never done,” she said.
So I contacted the termite extermiHoward Ain nation Hey Howard! company, which sent out an independent inspector. He found inactive termite mud tubes and signs of other destructive insects still in the crawlspace. He concluded moisture, as well as termites, caused more than $9,300 damage to the house. The termite treatment company told me it values its long relationship with the Harpring family and so has agreed to pay for the full amount of repairs – both from the termites and moisture – even though it is excluded from its contract. Bottom line, everyone should be aware of, and look out for, any moisture conditions in and around their house – particularly crawlspaces. Moisture can attract termites as well as lead to a number of other problems including mold.

Reader spills the beans with Napa recipe
I was in a meeting the other day when a colleague told me how nice I looked in my magenta and black suit and trendy peep-toe heels. I had to laugh because had he seen me a few hours earlier in tank top and shorts digging potatoes he might Rita have had Heikenfeld a different opinion. Rita’s kitchen But I think I’m a lot like most of you: one look for the professional side and one for the personal side. It’s the personal side that helps keep me balanced in my high-tech world. I guess that’s why today was a perfect day: up early, feed the chickens, pull weeds from the garden, hang clothes on the line with enough time left to can peaches and make wild elderberry and rose petal jellies.
Labor Day’s almost here and I’ve got some good recipes for your celebration.
Napa Valley baked beans
Indian Hill reader Clare Ackerman shared this recipe recently. “Always a hit,” she said. Stir together: 1 can each: kidney, pinto, baked beans, French cut green string beans (drained) 1 jar chili sauce 1 ⁄2 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon or so Worcestershire sauce Bake at 325 degrees for about two hours or so, uncovered. Cover when beans start to thicken, stir occasionally.
My attempt at Uno’s salad dressing
Clermont County reader Monica Friedl loves the blueberry pomegranate vinaigrette dressing from
Uno’s in Anderson Township. Rick Arbic, kitchen manager/chef told me the salad is an iceberg and romaine mix and they add cucumber, tomato and onion, a couple ounces of Gorgonzola and some candied walnuts which they purchase from a vendor. Uno’s dressing is from its food service. Rick told me it has blueberry purée, vinegar, sugar, oil, etc. It’s hard to re-create restaurant dishes – that’s why I always tell you to enjoy them there.
1 cup pomegranate blueberry juice (Kroger has it) 1 tablespoon red onion or more to taste White wine or rice vinegar – start with a tablespoon 1 ⁄2 teaspoon garlic minced Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil or soybean oil (Uno’s contains soybean) or more to taste Reduce juice to 1⁄4 cup. Let cool. Whisk in rest of ingredients.
My candied nuts
Any nut works here. Uno’s uses walnuts 1 egg white from large egg 1 tablespoon water 1 bag nuts (anywhere from 10-16 ounces) 1 cup sugar 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt Cinnamon if you like – start with a couple good shakes. Preheat oven to 250 degrees and spray cookie sheet. Mix sugar, salt and cinnamon. Set aside. Whisk egg white and water until frothy. Add nuts and coat evenly then toss in sugar mixture until coated. Pour in single layer on sheet and bake 45 minutes to an hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool and store covered at room temperature.
Rita’s roasted garlic quinoa salad dressing
Carol Yeazell of Springfield Township needs a
recipe for the quinoa salad dressing at Whole Foods in Rookwood. Here’s one I use for quinoa and bulgur wheat salad. I’m thinking a squirt of Dijon mustard would be excellent, too.
1 ⁄2 to 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled Lemon juice to taste (start with 2-3 tablespoons) 2-3 tablespoons canola oil 3 ⁄4 to 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 clove garlic, minced (roasted or not) Chopped mint to taste (optional but so good) Salt and pepper to taste
Whisk juice, canola, cumin and garlic together. Taste for seasonings. Cook one cup of quinoa, let it cool and toss with dressing. Stir in mint and feta. Chill.
Can you help?
Dressing like Whole Foods puts on their quinoa salad
Readers sound off
Several Northern Kentucky, east- and west-side readers are sure happy with the chocolate zucchini bread recipe: • “The best zucchini bread ever.” • “More like a dense chocolate cake than bread – son loves it.” • “The best thing that’s happened to zucchini.”

Hamilton County will test your well water for free Between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., private well owners may bring a water sample to the Hamilton County Soil & Water Conservation District booth for a free, confidential nitrate screening that will be
conducted by the Miami Conservancy District. While waiting for results, well owners may gather information about their well and ask experts about their groundwater concerns.
High nitrate levels are often associated with wells over 30 years old or less than 50 feet deep. Private well owners should have their well water tested annually for nitrate, bacte-
ria, and any other potential contaminant of particular concern. At the Harvest Home Fair, well owners will also have the opportunity to register for free arsenic testing.
0000354707
If you have your own well, instead of being served by city water, mark Friday, Sept. 11, on your calendar. This is the date of the Test Your Well event at Cheviot’s Harvest Home Fair.
Arsenic occurs naturally in many wells in the region, especially deeper wells with high iron levels. This free service is available to residents of Hamilton County’s Great Miami River Watershed courtesy of the Miami Conservancy District. To collect your well water sample properly: Pick up a sample bottle from Hamilton County SWCD or use any clean jar that seals tightly – wash with hot soapy water, rinse well, and allow to air dry before collecting your sample Remove any screen or filter from your faucet. Run water for five minutes to clear the lines and bring in fresh water. Do not touch the lip of the jar, inside the jar, or inside of the cap. Fill the bottle and cap it snugly. Keep the sample refrigerated until tested. Collect the sample on the day it is to be tested. Please do not bring in tap water from a municipal supplier. It will always be negative for high nitrates. For information, call the Hamilton County SWCD at 772-7645 or the Miami Conservancy District at 937-223-1278, ext. 3263.

serving lunch, helping with the school’s annual fundraising auction or volunteering at open houses. “Here is a group of guys who have been out of Elder for a long time, yet they still come back to give of their time,” Otten said. “They care deeply about Elder High School and want it to run smoothly. They are a presence, they don’t just show up once a year.” Although Lind isn’t shy about his love of the Panthers, he is humble about his volunteer work at the school. “It’s just something that has to be done, so we come over and do it,” he said.
“As a community,” said police Lt. Jeff Braun, “we all support law enforcement efforts to protect us from theft, burglary, assault and terrorism. “Yet, many otherwise law-biding citizens continue to view impaired driving merely as a traffic offense. Impaired driving is no accident nor is it a victimless
crime. “Also, please continue to buckle up your safety restraint as well as be sure everyone in your vehicle is wearing one, too.” Braun said that statistics show impaired driving kills someone in America every 30 minutes. For details, call township police at 922-0060.

who is a retired Cincinnati Police officer. “We have about 150 football players on junior varsity and varsity, so we have to make enough food for all of them.” Elder senior Mark Miller, the team’s quarterback, said the football players truly enjoy the lunches the Dad’s Club makes for them. “I think it’s really great for them to take time out of their day to do this for us,” he said. “The lunches are great and it definitely lifts your spirits after a hot morning practice.” Dave Dabbelt, Elder’s athletic director, said the support the school gets from people like Lind and the Dad’s Club is tremendous. “To put on a program as successful as the one we have couldn’t be done without the work those guys do,” Dabbelt said. “They’re unbelievable.” Elder principal Tom Otten said Lind and the Dad’s Club set an example for the students about what it means to be a part of the Elder family, whether they are
Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has
its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
