For the Rev. Don Dixon it’s fitting that he planned to attend the recent Civil Rights Game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago White Sox. Not only is Dixon a huge baseball fan, but for most of his career he has fought for civil rights. The game, in which he was expected to serve as an The AMOS honorary captain, was Project is a just part of a group of local weekend of activities for church Dixon, who retired after a congregations 46-year working for career as a pastor. social justice. For 15 years, Dixon has been pastor at Hyde Park Community United Methodist Church. Dixon, 70, said he was frequently exposed to attitudes of prejudice while growing up. However, he said becoming a pastor gave him a different perspective. “All my life I’ve been involved in civil rights,” said Dixon. This included accommodating a busload of march participants at his Columbus church in 1968 to founding the Dayton Peace Bridge in 1988, as part of an effort to heal a racial rift in the city. Dixon met one of his closest friends and someone he considers his mentor, the Rev. Calvin Harper, through involvement in the AMOS Project. The AMOS Project is a group of

Budgeting for the upcoming year can be a daunting task for local governments and residents alike, and time is winding down for government entities to officially adopt their 2010 budgets. Columbia Township Administrator Michael Lemon said the first draft of the budget is completed, but there’s still some work to be done before the numbers can be refined. For instance, bids have gone out for waste collection services in the township so that officials can determine the amount of millage on the waste collection levy in November. Lemon said the township is also still figuring out the amount of money to pay the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department, which is dealing with its own wellpublicized budget concerns. With the failure of the recent road levy, the road maintenance budget will increase, as road crews must patch and fill potholes instead of road resurfacing projects going out to bid. Road Superintendent John Servizzi said his crew has always patched roads and filled potholes, along with their numerous other responsibilities, but without any road resurfacing scheduled this year his department is working on more roads than in the typical year. “That’s a tougher (work) load on us,” he said. “There’s just so much you

While that could pose a problem, Lemon said the

township is aware of financial problems at the state, county and local levels, and will plan accordingly. “We tend to budget conservatively,” Lemon said. Columbia Township is hosting a public hearing to hear resident input July 7, with a trustee vote on the budget to take place July 14.

she said is always in hand, she took photographs of people in America, the United Kingdom, the Middle East and from her native home in Sri Lanka. She said one of her most memorable photographs was of an extremely poor Sri Lankan woman. “Her face was initially scary, but if you take a moment longer, you see a vulnerability,” she said. The book will premiere in London at a conference on aging in July.

If you’re looking for those perfect plants to grow on the patio or deck that will take the hot heat from a full sunny area, then I think I’ve got a great suggestion for you. Think tropical! Now if you’re just Ron Wilson In the looking for garden great foliage, consider tropical plants like crotons, ensete, and banana trees. Great foliage, they love to grow in containers, and they love the sun and the heat. And yes, these will definitely give you a great tropical look. If you’re looking for foliage and flowers, take a look at these plants, which I think also happen to be one of your best bangs for the buck for all summer flowers. In the vining category, for growing on a fence, trellis or arbor, look at confederate star or Madison star jasmine. Now these aren’t true jasmine, but produce jasmine-like fragrant flowers all summer long. They have dark green glossy foliage, can be an aggressive vine, anxd truly add color and fragrance wherever it’s grown. Also in the vining category, consider the mandevillas. Mostly available in pinks and reds, these aggressive vining tropicals will quickly cover any trellis, fence or arbor with beautiful foliage, and produce wonderful tubular pink and or red flowers all summer long. Looking for a bush or tree look on the patio? Well, keep in mind those wonderful tropical hibiscus. Again, easy to grow, they love the sun, have wonderful dark glossy foliage, and you just can’t beat those huge colorful flowers that tropical hibiscus will give to your patio, all summer long. They come in a wide range of colors, singles and doubles, and guess what? Their flowers are highly edible. So if you have a sunny, hot patio or deck, think “tropicals” for great summer colors. Talk to you next time, in the garden!

Muffins for Villa moms

St. Ursula Villa students in Montessori and Traditional preschool and kindergarten recently enjoyed a special morning with their mothers for the school’s “Muffins for Moms.” The activity included coffee, muffins, handmade gifts and musical presentations. Here, St. Ursula Villa’s 3-year-old Traditional preschool students enjoy time with their moms, from left: Leah and Nicole Webb (Mariemont), Tommy and Piper Sauter (Mariemont) and Connor and Chrissy Coffman (Mount Lookout).

Annie Dick traveled many pathways to find her career niche, a journey that recently culminated with her master’s degree hooding at the University of Cincinnati Doctoral Hooding and Master’s Recognition Ceremony in the Fifth Third Arena in Shoemaker Center. She received her master’s hood in social work from her father, Gary Dick, a UC professor of social work. Annie’s winding pathway in education led her to follow in the footsteps of both of her parents. “When I hear, ‘We’re All UC,’ well, our family really is,” she says. Born in 1983, Annie was just learning to walk when her father joined the social work faculty at UC in 1984. Gary earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice in 1977 from UC before earning a master’s degree in social work from the University of Illinois-Chicago in 1980, and a Ph.D. in social work from The Ohio State University in 2000. Since the couple did not use babysitters, Gary says he took Annie with him to his job.“She grew up in social work,” he says. Annie’s mother, Kathy Dick, earned her bachelor’s degree in social work from UC in 1974 and earned a master’s in social work from the University of Chicago in 1979. Annie’s parents first met in a Cincinnati supermarket where Kathy was working part-time while attending UC as an undergrad. She is now director of UC’s Center for Community Engagement (CCE), which connects the university to the community through service. Annie recalls that when she first entered UC in 2001, the campus was under construction as it was in the midst of its massive transformation into what it is today. Growing up in Madisonville and becoming part

of the first graduating class of 20 or so students from Clark Montessori School, the undecided major at the time felt overwhelmed on a large campus lined with construction fences. Pursuing her creative interests, she says she took off for the College of Santa Fe to study costume design. “I was inspired in Santa Fe by the art and the culture, but I was slowly realizing that I wanted to do something more meaningful,” she says. “So, I decided to come back to the University of Cincinnati, went on a study abroad trip to Paris to fulfill a language credit, and through all of those experiences I discovered that what I wanted to do was to work with people. “Coming back as an undergrad, I discovered that you can find your own place on campus. I found mine in the sociology department and later in the School of Social Work.” She completed her bachelor’s degree in sociology from UC in 2006. After a brief move to Chicago upon graduation, Annie says she returned to Cincinnati and “fell in love with the work” of providing home visits as a behavioral

therapist. But, she realized that a graduate degree would expand her career opportunities, which led her to the UC School of Social Work to pursue her master’s degree. As a graduate student, she assisted her father on numerous research projects. “We work very well together,” says her proud dad. “Annie has worked with me on just about every research study I’ve done.” The two expect to be working together in the future as well. While earning her master’s degree, Annie worked as a graduate assistant in the College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services’ (CECH) Partner for Achieving School Success (PASS) program, which pursues university-community partnerships and programs to promote and support academic success. She was recently hired full-time by PASS as a mentor program coordinator for a new education success partnership involving PASS, the UC School of Social Work, Hamilton County Job and Family Services, the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College and Great Oaks Career Campuses.

During the winter season, Khiry refused to see the end of the road when the Silver Knights reached the Division IV postseason. Summit suffered consecutive losses during the sectional finals in 2007 and 2008 when Khiry was an underclassmen starter. Khiry’s leadership as a senior captain finally propelled the Silver Knights beyond sectionals in 2009. Summit won sectional and district titles after shattering the program’s former ceiling. “We finally broke through and he really carried us through the section-

al tournament with fantastic games,” Summit head coach Rich Hoyt said. “(Khiry) was a big reason we went on the great run.” Khiry averaged 17.8 points and five rebounds a game during Summit’s 1410 campaign. “It was a long time coming for our school to win sectionals. To win districts as well was just huge,” Khiry said. “This year it was just our time.” Khiry was named as the Player of the Year for the Miami Valley Conference Gray Division in addition to bringing home postseason hardware for Summit. “In terms of character and academics tied in with athletics, Khiry embodies what high school athletics are all about,” Hoyt said. “He had a great career, but I’m most proud of the leadership he provided as a senior captain.” Khiry’s contributions to his school and community go beyond the court. Off the court, Khiry made time to volunteer at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the Appalachian Festival. Hankins volunteered as a tutor on a weekly basis during his senior year helping students at Fourth Street Elementary in Newport, Ky., learn to read. “He’s just a great person with a great attitude about life,” Khiry’s father Tony Hankins said. “He’s an all-

Emily Akin doesn’t view her dedication to a trio of Walnut Hills High School athletic programs as extracurricular activities. Sports are a part of the Walnut Hills junior’s personal curriculum to become a successful student-athlete. “In the end, I think sports help to make a well

rounded individual,” Akin said, recently concluding her sophomore year at Walnut Hills. “It’s not an extracurricular. It’s something I need to do.” But Akin’s dedication to distance running and basketball certainly hasn’t gotten in the way of academics. Carrying a 3.9038 GPA,

Akin juggles school with three sports, including varsity cross country, varsity track and junior varsity basketball for Walnut Hills. Akin was voted the Eastern Hills Journal Sportswoman of the Year following an online poll. More than 89,000 votes were cast across 13 Community Press ballots to determine 26 winners after readers submitted nominees online. Bill Valenzano, the distance and cross country coach at Walnut Hills, believes Akin is well on her way to becoming a leader following her sophomore campaign, he said. “I’d say this award is well deserved,” Valenzano said of Akin’s Sportswoman of the Year award. “She has a great attitude and that certainly goes a long way. She is more the type to lead by example. “She is a very dedicated student. That attitude and

hard work carries over into every aspect of her life,” Va l e n z a n o added. Akin has shaved more than 40 seconds from her time in the 3,200Akin meter run since her freshman year to drop her personal best to 12:11. The Lady Eagles’ school record in the 3,200 is at 11:51. Akin also dropped nearly 20 seconds from her 2008 best in the 1,600 to post a new personal record at 5:37. “She made some tremendous improvements this year and we were very happy with her season,” Valenzano said. “Emily responded well to our work outs.” Valenzano was a firstyear coach for the Lady Eagles this season. “I can attribute all (of my improvement) to Coach V and his training methods,” Akin said of Valenzano’s impact. “I wanted to be a winner on and off the court. It was a great environment and he made it happen.” Second-year principal Jeff Brokamp has been impressed by Akin’s ability to excel both academically and athletically, he said. “I believe Emily is one of those kids you get every ounce of potential out of,” Brokamp said. “She is an impressive kid in that way.

Coates agrees, common sense needed I read with great interest the guest column by our county auditor, Dusty Rhodes, regarding, “It’s time to get back to common sense.” I would have to agree with Auditor Rhodes’ assessment that our county needs to get back to common sense governance. Sure our county commissioners inherited some of the bad decisions of their predecessors and now the country is in a lengthy national recession; revenue is down and investment revenue is virtually nonexistent. However, the commissioners have a higher statutory obligation and responsibility than just rubber-stamping the county adminis-

Career pathways to a better job Karen was a patient care assistant for 18 years, but wanted more. “I tried three other times to go to college to try to be a nurse and to get a better job and, finally, this fourth time with the Health Careers Collaborative program, I made it,” she said. “I did it to get a better job and to be a role model for my children.” The Health Careers Collaborative, which helps adults move up the career ladder step by step through supporting them in many ways as they attend school, is a leading example of the career pathways model. That is, it is a series of connected educational and training programs and support services. Individuals can use that network to secure a job and advance over time to successively higher levels of education and employment in a specific industry or sector. Participants typically work at one level while attending classes to reach the next level in their career. No single organization can implement career pathways – the model is based upon partnerships. For example, the Health Careers Collaborative was formed in 2003 by Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, five Health Alliance hospitals, Great Oaks, Cincinnati State and other community organizations. It’s a pretty simple concept, yet complex to implement. With a diverse labor market spanning eight counties in three states and a wide range of services and educational institutions, it is a challenge to bring together schools, employers, social service agencies, labor leaders and business partners. However, the results show that the effort is worthwhile. The nearly 1,500 participants in the health care pathway have had higher grades and have accumulated higher levels of course credits and credentials than non-pathway participants. And nearly 80 percent of the participants stay in the program – double the rate of retention in

ordinary programs. As with Karen, the new nurse mentioned above, students often have barriers that prevent them from sucRobin White ceeding in ordiCommunity nary programs. why the Press guest That’s partnerships are columnist important. For example, Great Oaks offers literacy services, certificate training and beginning education course work. Other partners provide support both inside and outside the classroom. John Henderson, president of Cincinnati State Community & Technical College, says, “Where it is most effective, the career pathways process helps to transform institutions and organizations involved in education, employment, and the social services. The process strengthens cooperation among these institutions in ways that improve their individual and collective capacities to respond to the needs of local residents and employers.” Career pathways is a concept that is also being implemented in other states like Kentucky, Arkansas and Oregon, and seems to be working well. “This career pathway has been just phenomenal for our employees,” says Alan Jones, senior vice president at the Health Alliance. “So many of our staff never really considered college before and this is way for them to enter and work together in their education. They will come out of it with good paying jobs and a viable career.” And in today’s unstable economy, these are exactly the types of programs that will support many people and help them get into long-term stable careers. Robin White is president and chief executive officer of Great Oaks Institute of Technology and Career Development.

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

What features would you like to see included in a health care reform plan? “Affordable health care for all. Not free but affordable. The private sector hasn’t been able to provide this so it is necessary that the government provides a program (like Medicare) where all of its citizens have access to affordable health care.” B.M.

“Health care reform under government control was a mistake when Hillary Clinton tried to do it, and it is still a mistake. The government should butt out, and there isn’t enough space for me to list all the reasons here. The four biggest reasons why health care is so expensive are: “1. Burgeoning technological developments in health care (diagnostics and treatment) in the last 50 years, including such expensive procedures as MRI’s, CAT scans, lithotripty, etc. These things did not exist until the second half of the 20th century, but because they DO exist, people assume everyone has a right to access to all of them. “2. Federal regulations involving health care have made it more expensive for doctors and hospitals to operate. “3. Malpractice suits and the cost of malpractice insurance for doctors. Doctors are not gods; they cannot be perfect. “4. Free treatment for anyone who needs care at hospital emergency rooms, even if they cannot pay. (Mandated by federal law.) “The government cannot snap its fingers and make these issues go away. One final point: the cost of obtaining an education as a medical doctor is phenomenal. “If the government, through its meddling, ends up limiting the potential income of doctors, the incentive for young people to go to med school is going to be severely impacted.” Bill B. “Nothing at all. Healthcare isn’t perfect, but folks need to be wary of Obama on this one. “The government shouldn’t

reform health care. It will be a bureaucratic nightmare and reduce the best health care system in the world to shambles. “Just do some research and see how ‘good’ things are in Canada. And if our is so bad, why are so many foreigners leaving their countries to work here as doctors and come here for major surgeries? Answer: because our health care is the best in the world!” C.G. “I would like to see some dental coverage included since that is a serious issue for many people.” B.N. “For a health care reform plan, the biggest feature I would like to see is the governmant NOT IN IT!!! I have yet to be impressed with the success vs. cost of ANY government program (the jury is still out regarding NASA).” D.K. “Health care reform must protect the most vulnerable--people with chronic, expensive illnesses, the elderly, the disabled, people with mental illnesses, the unborn. “These are exactly the populations most hurt by the ‘limits’ President Obama sees as necessary to a “universal” health plan. Universal--but only for some--it not universal.” D.H. “I hate to see them add anything to the health plan as always said when you open up a program that looks good someone always sticks something in the law which is no good.” L.S. “No one should get health care for free, because doctors and nurses deserve an income. For those that don’t have cash they could do community service or it could be paid for with donations. “Those that can afford health care should not be forced to pay for those who can’t afford health care. “I have purchased my own health care for most of 30 years and it is difficult, but if you shop around and are willing to change health insurance companies you

Those that use the emergency room for simple medications,colds etc are wasting the systems funds.” N.P. “My answer is none. The federal government has exceeded the authority under our Constitution. “My greatest disappointment is the fact our local officials have not challenged this, and taken the funds the U.S. does not have, leading to further control. “I would like to see our local officials in full control of our activities including the schools and rejecting the federal funds and the control that comes with it.” F.J.B. “Rather than talking about it for decades, finally do something about it. “A no-brainer would be to allow all U.S.A. citizenry to have the same type of coverage as our U.S.A. senators and congressional representatives which offers a multitude of quality coverage. “Since we can afford to ‘give’ millions of our taxpayer dollars to foreign nations that are full of dictators, graft and corruption, why not instead give it to our very own. “What we spend annually in donations to other nations would surely cover a major portion of this type of excellent coverage.” Help For Us All

LISA WAKELAND/STAFF

Joni Sherman, right, owner of Sprouts Floral Design Studio, and Amy Kappers work on floral centerpieces for an upcoming wedding.

Art, flowers come together at Sprouts Joni Sherman wants her work to be a conversation piece for her clients. Sherman, owner of Sprouts Floral Design Studio, said she uses her art background to make her creations, considering color, structure and design for the each piece. “There is a real, sculptural element to making flower arrangements,” she said. “I don’t want people to think of my arrangements as decoration.” Though she’s been in business for nine years, Sherman closed her retail shop in Mt. Lookout square earlier this year and now works out of her East Walnut Hills home. She said this option allows her to spend more time with her two children, cut costs and not have to rely on walk-in traffic to support the business.

After having her first child, switched careers from an elementary school art teacher to floral design. “I really like the flexibility of this job and the ability to work with a lot of fun people,” she said. Sprouts creates arrangements for weddings, parties or everyday occasions and Sherman said she wants to help bring her clients’ ideas to life. “Flowers can be a really integral part of (an event) and I hope my work sparks creativity and imagination in others,” she said. Co-worker Amy Kappers added that she enjoys creating the floral arrangements because she is “always doing something that makes people smile.” By Lisa Wakeland.

A summertime reflection on human sexuality Since the 1960s, we have been blundering and stumbling toward a more mature and wholesome attitude toward human sexuality. We’re certainly not there yet. A misuse of sex still lies at the heart of many social and psychological problems: rape, incest, pornography, abortion, pedophilia, even casual hooking-up and friends with benefits are all Exhibit A in evidence against a wholesome integration of sexuality into our lives. It’s as though since the 1960s we have made progress from a negative childish attitude toward sex, and have now arrived at a collective adolescent stage where narcissism and indulgence reign – but still not a responsible appreciation and use. Years ago Fulton Sheen wrote, “Sex is the most psychosomatic of human functions. There is nothing else in which body and soul, finite and infinite, flesh and spirit are so closely inter-

twined. When sex and love are allowed to link the two, peace and joy result. When flesh and spirit are divorced, and sex is sought alone, boredom and ennui result.” Where are the men who will help in sexuality’s integration?

In “Adam’s Return,” Father Richard Rohr, O.F.M., writes, “The most loving men I have met, the most generous to society and to life, are usually men who also have a lusty sense of life, beauty, pleasure, and sex – but they have very realistic expectations of them. Smaller pleasures become a stairway and an invitation to higher ones … They offer a first taste but then create a taste for something more and something higher. This is the necessary training of the lover archetype.” Such men respect sex, women and God’s gifts.

Father Lou Guntzelman Perspectives

Western beliefs and church attitudes about sex were especially influenced by Stoicism. Stoics took a stern view of sexual pleasure. Mastery of the mind should be maintained even in marriage. It is wrong to lust after another man’s wife, and equally wrong to lust after one’s own wife.

Summertime offers a visual smorgasbord of the human body. Warm air, less clothing, swimming, jogging and sunbathing draw attention and create sexual interest. Regardless of season, our culture celebrates the human body on stage, screen, TV and fashion. Immature and exaggerated as it may be, our focus on the body is a moving away from a centuries-long appraisal of negativity. The body for so long was seen as a prison for the spirit. Some earlier religions and philosophies believed that the best thing that could happen is when we die and are released from our bodies. Now we hold that there is a wholesome unity between body and soul. Our bodies are honorable and essential components of being human. A healthy and spiritual understanding of human sexuality has not had good allies. Many moderns think that sexual restrictiveness is the result of Christianity and that the ancients were free of them. Quite the contrary. A perusal of Greek and Roman philosophy shows otherwise. In the “Phaedo,” Plato declared, “It seems that so long as we are alive, we shall continue closest to knowledge if we avoid as much as we can all contact and association with the body unless absolutely necessary.” Aristotle was particularly critical of the pleasures of touch and taste. Western beliefs and church attitudes about sex were especially influenced by Stoicism. Stoics took a stern view of sexual pleasure. Mastery of the mind should be maintained even in marriage. It is wrong to lust after another man’s wife, and equally wrong to lust after one’s own wife. Augustine thought “for a couple to copulate for any purpose other than procreation was debauchery.” St. Paul, influenced by Hellenism, saw marriage as a concession to human weakness.

Add orange juice and Kool-Aid and beat on low until moistened. Increase to medium and beat a few minutes longer. The batter will be smooth. Pour into pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Don’t overbake. If cake humps up in the center, when you take it out of the oven, put a folded towel over it and press down with your hands. Voilà – a perfectly even cake (what you are doing is pressing the air out). Let it cool while making the topping.

Newport’s Manyet’s bakery icing: Cindy Fessler said she hasn’t found an icing they like as well. Does anyone have a similar recipe? “My family was so disappointed when it closed,” she said. Like Skyline’s black bean and rice soup for BG: “I can’t seem to find anything even close to it. Can’t get enough of it.” Pelican Reef’s coleslaw: Shari Weber, an Anderson Township reader, loves this and wants to make it for her husband. “Something’s different in there and it’s so good,” she told me. Loveland’s Hitch’s, now closed, chicken salad: Reader Phil Jones says this can be purchased through Zapps Bar next to the old deli, but would like to make it at home. Like Ruby’s white macaroni: For Marella Holmes. Bugogi and spinach like Korean Riverside Restaurant, Covington: Sue Dreibelbis and her family love the bulgogi served there and her kids are crazy about the spinach. “My kids don’t eat many vegetables so I’m desperate to find the spinach recipe,” she said.

I made mine in a 9-by-13 pan because it was easier, especially since my husband kept chiding me with “are you still fooling with that – isn’t it time to move on?” Easy for him to say.

Frank Marzullo, Dan Romito and the rest of the crew will have the same reaction as everyone else I’ve tested it on – Delicious!

Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.

Bed & 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. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
