Mount Lookout is still experiencing crime waves, but the numbers are slowly declining. Cincinnati Police Officer Dwayne Dawson, neighborhood liaison officer for District 2, said crime was down in the area during July. “Theft from autos is backing off, but it still remains a big problem,” Dawson said at last week’s Mount Lookout Community Council meeting. Of the 19 crimes reported by the police department for July, 11 were theft from autos. There also were four thefts,

three burglaries and one breaking and entering. Dawson said even though officers are making arrests, criminals are not being kept in jail and are back on the street shortly
after an arrest. Cincinnati City Councilman Jeff Berding, who also spoke at the meeting, said Cincinnati City Council needs to prioritize public safety. “This is not the time in the city of Cincinnati to be laying off 138 police officers,” he said. “Public
safety should be our top commitment to you.” The layoffs were proposed to combat the city’s $28 million budget deficit. Though the city would maintain public safety services, Berding argued that it would not provide the same level of service. Berding said he is working with other council members on an alternative plan to avoid cuts in public safety. “We were elected to balance budgets and elected to keep our neighborhoods safe,” he said. Layoffs are scheduled to begin on Sept. 5. City Councilman Chris Monzel said District 2 would lose 17 out of

The readers have spoken. Whether it’s a vanilla ice cream at Graeter’s, a stay at the Mariemont Inn, or selecting a hard-to-find lamp at the Duck Creek Antique Mall, they have picked their favorites as part of the Reader’s Choice. In June, The Community Press presented readers with a ballot of 100 categories so they could choose their favorites ranging from American vehicle to produce to women’s clothing. Readers responded filling out newspaper and online ballots with their choices. The complete list of Readers Choice favorites is in today’s special section. Readers’ top choices shared how they keep their customers coming back. “The ice cream is a quality product that tastes good, (and) we offer a wide variety of flavors,” said Jane McDevitt, a team manager at the Hyde Park Graeter’s. Readers chose Graeter’s as the best ice cream shop in the area. In operation since the 1920s, the Hyde Park location is the oldest Graeter’s in the Tristate. It is located at 2704 Erie Ave. “It’s a very popular location since it is in the neighborhood, and a lot of the customers walk here,” said McDevitt. If one’s taste leans more toward sleep than confections, the Mariemont Inn is the place to go, according to readers, who ranked it first for hotels in the area. “We have the historical atmosphere,” said Bill Spinnenweber, general manager of the Mariemont Inn. “We also just completed a multimillion dollar renovation (that) kept the historical feel of the rooms while updating the technol-

Fire district puts levy on ballot By Rob Dowdy
rdowdy@communitypress.com
Some Columbia Township residents have yet another levy to vote on come November. The township recently placed a waste collection levy on the ballot, and the Little Miami Fire District recently voted to place a 2.3-mill levy on the November ballot that will go toward two new firehouses in the area. Columbia Township is protected by three fire departments: the Little M i a m i Fire District, the D e e r Park-Silverton F i r e Department and the Golf M a n o r F i r e Department. The areas of the township that will vote on the levy will be residents in Madison Place and the township’s portion of Wooster Pike. Columbia Township Trustee President Stephen Langenkamp, who’s on the Little Miami Fire District board, said one of the new firehouses will be built in Newtown, while the other will be built either in Columbia Township or in Fairfax. He said the Fire District is also seeking stimulus

A proposed 2.3-mill levy on the November ballot could allow the Little Miami Fire District to replace the firehouse located in Columbia Township. Fire Chief Tom Driggers said the building has structural issues that lead to flooding during heavy rains. funds to help defer the cost of the firehouses. While Langenkamp expects the levy to bring in an estimated $500,000 annually, the stimulus money the fire district is seeking is approximately $3 million.
Langenkamp said the fire district is in “desperate need� of new firehouses, despite recent difficulty in the area passing levies. “Right now, nobody wants to hear ‘levy,’� he said. “To be honest, I don’t know what to expect.�
Levy facts Some Columbia Township residents will have two levies to vote on during the November elections. Here’s a look at what’s coming: Columbia Township recently voted to place a 3.5-mill waste collection levy on the Nov. 3 ballot. The levy is a renewal for a levy the township
already has in place. Residents protected by the Little Miami Fire District will also see a 2.3-mill levy on their ballots in November. The levy funds will be used to help build two firehouses within the district.
Copper thefts on the rise By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com
Copper thefts in the Cincinnati area have been on the rise. Sgt. Ken Woellert with the Cincinnati Police Department said the problem has become especially prevalent in District 2, which includes Madisonville, Oakley, Mount Washington and Evanston among others. He said the rising value of copper has led to an increase in the number of thefts. Woellert said copper is currently valued at about $2.60 a pound. He said the thefts have

included breaking into vacant houses and removing the copper piping and plumbing as well as thefts on construction sites. Additionally, he said large downspouts from churches have also been taken. He said the district has received roughly six calls per week regarding copper thefts. Matt Jones, who serves as both a member of the Oakley Community Council and as an aide to Cincinnati City Council member Leslie Ghiz, said City Council is aware of the problem. “Council does have legislation on selling of these

Mariemont considers new historic district By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com
With its tree-lined median and surrounding Tudor Revival style buildings the Center Street area could become Mariemont’s next historic district. The village’s Architectural Review Board listened to a proposal to designate the homes and apartment buildings on West Center, East Center and Center streets as landmarks at last week’s
meeting. Millard Rogers, village historian and Mariemont Preservation Foundation trustee, said the buildings’ importance in the village’s original plan should qualify them for landmark status. “Tudor Revival style, if not the most significant architectural style present in the village, is at least prevalent throughout the village,� Rogers said. The area is on the south side of Wooster Pike and
What is it? According to the Mariemont Preservation Foundation, Tudor Revival architectural style is prevalent throughout Mariemont, and imitates models from England’s Tudor period. Characteristics include: • Half-timber and stucco • Brick and stone walls
• Steeply pitched roofs • Occasional leaded windows, chimney pots and gables • Timber is usually stained or painted dark brown, and stucco is tinted with a neutral dark cream or light tan color. • Slate roofs are sometimes found in this style.
ends at Mount Vernon Avenue. Because there are 15 addresses on the three streets, board member Jeanne Boone suggested making the area an historic district, instead of designating each structure as a landmark. Board Chairman Martin Koepke said he was concerned that landmark status could prevent future development of the Center Street area, whereas an historic district could regulate development. “The new improvements would have to be within that Tudor style ... or have some aesthetic that allows it to progress but maintains the integrity of that style,� he said. Rogers said this designation would help protect the character of the property.
LISA WAKELAND/STAFF
Mariemont is considering a new historic district that includes most of the Tudor Revival style homes and apartment buildings on West Center, East Center and Center streets. The board will visit the properties and conduct more research on the individual
buildings before making a recommendation to village council.
Public hearings on the issue are expected later.

Mariemont will vote on new zoning district By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com
Mariemont voters will have the final word on a new residential zoning district in November. Village Council unanimously adopted an ordinance in July that created the “Residence D� district and cleared the way for a proposed condominium complex near West Street and Thorndike and Madisonville roads. Resident Toby Acheson, who helped circulate the referendum petition to put the ordinance on the ballot, has said he’s concerned about the effect building height would have on surrounding residences. The maximum building height under the new zoning district is 45 feet to the peak of the roof, and requires larger setbacks for any height increases over 30 feet. Councilman Dennis Wolter said he’s not surprised by the referendum petition and knows some residents are upset about the building height. He said Mariemont needed to update its zoning code to include condominiums. “I think we have no choice but to look long-term into the future ... to keep the quality of the village up and get additional income,� he said. “We are dealing with a lot of older rental properties that are no longer economically viable and are slowly going into disrepair.� Resident Marty Bartlett,

Rick Greiwe, who designed the Jordan Park condominiums on Miami Road, is behind the development plans for the new West Street complex. Greiwe has said the new condominiums would also provide a new space for the MariElders. “We’re not opposed to condos (but) we think the ordinance should be more restrictive,� Bartlett said. Councilman Rex Bevis said the new zoning district would offer affordable, updated housing. Bevis said some residents were also opposed council’s plans for the village square, which included redeveloping the Mariemont Strand and the theater. “This is just another case where council has tried to do something progressive and, yet again, people are opposing it,� he said. “It’s obviously disappointing that a few citizens have decided to put a recall of that on the ballot.� The Hamilton County Board of Elections confirmed that all petition signatures were valid and the issue will be up for a vote in November.

Mariemont schools detail facility plan options By Lisa Wakeland Mariemont City Schools are inching closer to a master facilities plan for its aging school buildings. Community members, staff and district officials have debated everything from school locations to classroom amenities since the facility study began last September and have narrowed the discussion to two options for the aging school buildings. “We are starting to spend more and more money on the facilities, which comes out of the academic programming,” Superintendent Paul Imhoff said at last week’s board of education meeting. “That is what we cannot allow to happen. That’s why we are talking about this now.” Option A would keep five schools with the current grade level configuration. Option B has four schools, with K-5 at Terrace Park and Mariemont elementary schools, grades 6-8 at the Fairfax Elementary site and retiring the Junior High School. Nothing would change at Mariemont High School, the district’s newest building. Costs for each option range from $36.4 million to $47 million, and would be financed through a 37-year bond issue. Annual cost for homeowners would range from $167 to $220 per $100,000 of assessed value. Feedback from hundreds of surveys revealed that Option B was slightly more popular, and residents listed clean and safe learning environments, a focus on academics, neighborhood schools

What’s next?
• Sept. 1: Present results of scientific phone survey. • Sept. 15: Superintendent makes facility recommendation to school board. • Oct. 20: Tentative date for school board to select a facility option for the district. • All meetings are at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays in the Junior High, 6743 Chestnut St. and fiscal responsibility as top priorities. Saving historical attributes, such as the cupola at Fairfax Elementary or the building facades of the schools in Mariemont and Terrace Park, were also listed as desirable components of the master facilities plan. Turner Construction and SFA Architects analyzed cost data and feasibility for new construction, renovations or a combination of both for each site. The junior high presented the biggest challenge because of its location and small lot size. If the district waits to fix major systems – heating, cooling, electrical, plumbing – as they break, it would cost nearly $43 million during the next 15 years. That scenario would be financed through a permanent improvements levy, which would cost a homeowner $248 per $100,000 of assessed value annually. Fixing those issues still would not provide appropriate learning spaces, adequate science labs or enough electricity to power technology in the classrooms, Imhoff said. The board of education is scheduled to select an option by the end of this year. “It’s not just the community today, we’re looking out decades from now,” board member Kevin Grimmer said. “We’re making a decision on behalf of generations to come.”

With speaking engagements now populating his calendar and requests for his John Hancock coming from people like his auto mechanic, former Mariemont City School District teacher Steve Heck is getting a small taste of why Neil Armstrong is so reclusive. Heck recently was named one of seven Teachers in Space who will start flying two years from now. Recently returning home since that announcement, he’s already learned to carry pictures for autograph-seekers. His Sunday School class gave him a standing ovation when he walked into church. The Milford Junior High School science teacher ran into a former student, who was nervous about saying hello, at a restaurant. When Heck encouraged her to stop by his table, she said, “Mr. Heck, I really wanted to say how happy we were for you.” “So, I gave her a picture, and was thinking, ‘Here’s a kid I had less than a year ago in a class. Now, she’s a little nervous about talking to me.’” His instant celebrity status clashes with his plan. “My goal is not to make it about me,” he said. “The goal is, ‘Let’s motivate kids in STEM: science, technology, engineering and mathematics.’” Through it all, Heck promises to stay grounded. “Family first, then school. I consider all of them family,” the affable 57-year-old retired Air Force colonel said. Teachers in Space is not a NASA program, but is sponsored by the non-profit Space Frontier Foundation and the United States Rocket Academy. The original NASA Teachers in Space program ended with the 1986 Challenger explosion that killed teacher Christa McAuliffe and six other crew members. Since then, NASA developed an Educator Astronaut Program for teachers. Heck had applied to that program, too, six years ago. Those teachers had to quit their jobs and are now astronauts, based in Houston. Teachers in Space is using commercial companies that are developing vehicles to be used for civilian suborbital flights.

Steve Heck, a science teacher at Milford Junior High School and a former Mariemont City School District teacher, stands in front of Milford’s front yard sign that announces his opportunity to visit space.
PROVIDED
Steve Heck, a former Mariemont City School District teacher, is one of seven teachers nationwide selected to go into space as part of the Teachers in Space program. During recent training in California, Heck, 57, sat in a prototype of the plane he’ll ride into space. The selected teachers stay in the classroom, train in increments and return there after their flights. Heck and the other teachers had a week of training in California, where they flew a glider and a high-performance airplane used in air shows. While in that plane, they flew loops and did other maneuvers. The teachers, dubbed the Pathfinder 7, got a behind-thescenes look at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California, where it was announced July 20 that they’ll be the first to go into space. Now, Heck has instant contacts with NASA that he can write in order to get information for students and teachers at Milford or elsewhere in Greater Cincinnati. Teachers also got to see a pro-
totype of XCOR Aerospace’s Lynx rocket plane, which is being developed for their flights. Testing of the airplane is expected to start in 2010 and last a year. Because civilians will be on board, the plane will have to meet FAA requirements. “I was very impressed with their commitment to safety,” Heck said about XCOR. “Nobody wants what happened to Christa McAuliffe.” The teachers will begin the space flights, one at a time, within two years. Heck hopes he’s first. It will take 4 1/2 to 5 minutes to get to about 325,000 feet in space, at the fringe of orbit. There, he’ll spend 4 to 6 minutes in zero gravity, where he’ll perform the experiment. The entire flight will last about an hour. He isn’t afraid of flying more than 60 miles into space. His biggest fear is that he’ll be so in awe of the sight of Earth he’ll forget his mission. “I just hope I remember to do the experiment,” said Heck, who will test buoyancy in space. “My real purpose here is for experimentation. I’m not a sightseer ... We’re going up to advance education.” He’ll train another week in March in Philadelphia, then back to California next summer. But first, he’ll have to figure out his lesson plan for the first day of school, Aug. 19, and whether to wear his flight suit.

nology of today – Father Lou stress, Guntzelman burnout, exhausPerspectives tion. 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.

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 termi-

Mastering the art of salmon grilling 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 profesChild sional and the rest was personal. And guess what? She even sent me a signed thank you note. So that’s my Julia story and that’s why she was so loved and that’s why my copy of her book “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” is dog-eared with use.
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. You’ll know it by the looks and also if it will release easily. This allows the fish to
folks like 4-5. A nonstick pan is best for this. Use your favorite flavor of Jell-O.
6 cups grated zucchini, skin left on 1 ⁄2 cup water 3-5 cups sugar 20 oz crushed pineapple in juice or syrup 6 oz favorite Jell-O: try peach, strawberry, apricot COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD
Rita’s pan-grilled salmon with lemon verbena and dill. form a nice crust. Turn it and finish cooking. The rule seven to 10 minutes per inch of thickness works well, too. Here’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 1⁄4 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
Boil zucchini in water for 5 minutes. Drain well and return to pan. Add sugar and pineapple. Boil 10 minutes, stirring frequently so it doesn’t stick. Remove from heat and stir in Jell-O. Cool, spoon into jars and refrigerate.
Tips from Rita on keeping kids hydrated
• So important especially during this hot weather when they’re in sports, since a child’s body takes longer to adjust to heat and humidity. • Kids produce more body heat but don’t sweat as much as adults so in hot
weather they are at increased risk for dehydration. • In the body, water works as a shock absorber protecting joints. • Cold water is absorbed best and kids will drink more if it’s cold. • Make a homemade power drink. Dilute a drink that contains 100 percent Vitamin C by using at least twice the water recommended on the package.

What do you expect from the Bengals this season? “Well I just finished watching ‘Hard Knocks’ on HBO which is featuring the Bengals. HBO did a great job, I really enjoyed it and was enthused about the up-coming season until they showed the segment in which Mike Brown was sharing his ideas with the coaches: ‘How about if we move the defensive end to tight end.’ “Mike is still micro-managing and that is not encouraging.” B.M.
“I expect them to waste our time and money as usual.” R.S.H. “I expect the usual from these guys; absolutely nothing .. and I have never been disappointed!” J.G. “What do I expect ... or what do I hope?!! :-) “Expect: sadly, another losing season. ”Hope: undefeated, Superbowl-bound.” Joy K. “This is what I’d like to see: a team that plays to their skill potential, obeys the law off the field, does good work in the community and earns the loyalty and esteem of the fans. “Here’s what we will probably see: a team that seldom wins, players charged with crimes and no one caring about the community. I hope I’m very wrong.” E.E.C. “Time tells all and over the past few years the Bengals have proven that we should expect NOTHING from them this year. “Until the Brown family – who know little about professional football and much about hijacking the population of Hamilton County into paying for a beautiful new stadium designed for a real franchise – is gone forever, and until our “team” is comprised of dedicated, hard-working players instead of criminals and self-serving egoists then we should expect nothing more than the same old Bungles.” “Oh how I long for the days of Ken Anderson, Chris Collinsworth, Mike Reid and Tony Munoz – just to a name a few of the greats – when we were occasionally contenders and even came close to a Super Bowl victory. “But those days are gone and now I don’t know whether to be proud of or stunned by the people who continue to be “fans” and follow this ailing franchise to the bottom of the heap. “Let the Bengals leave town the next time they threaten to do so – then we can concentrate on reviving the Reds into the world class team we all know they are. “We can spend our money on The Banks and try to catch up with our neighbors to the south in developing our riverfront into a destination spot for visitors and native alike. “Cincinnati needs a shot in the arm – let it start with a wave goodbye to the Bengals!” M.M. “Not much. Just like every year.” J.B. “Don’t expect much. Just like the Reds, management tells us at the beginning of the season changes made to improve the
teams. They forget that other teams also make improvements and Cincinnati seems to always slack behind. “When is the last time, we as fans, have seen a playoff team, other than watching someone else on T.V. “Good luck Bengals, you will need it.” D.J. “This year, I expect the same from the Bengals that I have seen over the last two decades ... nothing!” T. H. “I can’t ever hope to recapture the intense interest and excitement I had when following Cincinnati’s professional football team that I had when I was younger. I guess that’s part of the price you pay for getting older. “But if our team can spark any interest to match the excitement that I felt back in 1982, when the Bengals met the SF 49’ers (losing 21 to 26), I’ll be pleased. “I will never forget that game. I had been running for about two years, and did my 4 miles that morning, coming back with icicles hanging from my eyebrows under my hood! “And I will probably never again be so emotionally involved as I was when I went out on our front porch, after the game was lost to SF, and venting my rage at the open air! What a game that was!” Bill B. “Losses, many losses.”

J.J.
“I expect the Bengals could achieve an 8-8 season. The team looks improved with the possible exception of the offensive line. As is the Bengals annual tradition the first round draft choice was not in camp on time which also hurts the offensive line. Injuries played havoc with the 2008 season. Hopefully that will not be the case this year. As with most fans I hope for the Bengals to hire an experienced General Manager as Mike Brown is not the answer. Go Figure!” T.D.T. “Same ol’...same ol’ 500 season. That’s their game plan. It will never change. 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. His father would disown him!” W.K.S. “It will be the same old thing this year for the Bengals. I think the recond will be 5 and 11. The Bengals again have two weak positions to be filled. The first is the offensive line. They still have no protection for Palmer. He needs more time to throw the ball down the field. The whole line needs to step up and do their job. I think the other fans will agree with me that the second is Mr. Brown. “Mr. Brown needs to step down. Either sell the team or hire a new G.M. He does not care about the fans in Cincinnati. A lot of fans started to go north and west to see a good game. I will not go down there to watch them at all this year. All he cares about is money. Sure the games have been sold out and he stills gets his

It's a shame on how he took this city and somehow promise us in believing he will bring this city a winner. I hope there will be a lot of home games not sold out by the deadline for TV. This way he will be losing money. It's time for the fans in Cincinnati to step up and say enough is enough.” S.M. “Same thing I expected from them last season, I expect them to WIN, WIN, WIN!! Maybe this is the year for those expectations to be fulfilled.” M.E.N. “My family has had season tickets since 1970. We are eternal optimists... but I’m feeling an only ‘even-steven’ season.” C.A.S. “I expect them to go to the play offs, if not the Superbowl; but enough about wishful thinking and I won’t count my chickens before they hatch. Let’s see if they can win more games than loose and put Cincinnati in a positive limelight in football.” S.B.T. “More of the same. After watching the first HBO ‘Hard Knocks’, you can see why. “The show opened with Mike Brown addressing the team on their first day. Instead of a rousing pep talk, he sounded like the CEO of a Fortune 500 addressing a stock holders annual meeting. Dry, uninspiring and not a bit of enthusiasm or emotion. “Then at the end of the hour program, and after the Bengals’ first scrimmage, HBO focused on Mikey presiding over a meeting of the professional coahing staff and their assistants. He’s telling the tight ends coach who he feels might step in for the two tight ends that went down. “Instead of keeping his nose out of the coaching side, he still fancies himself a brillant coach like his Dad and that’s why this season will be more of the same.” P.A. “No better than a 50-50 season, if that.” B.N. “After watching them for a few plays in the preseason game against New Orleans all I can say is same old same old.” L.S. “I have come to expect nothing from the Bengals aka BUN-GALS; they’ve done nothing for the fan base who’ve supported the team other than to give them failure, disappointment and embarrassment season after season for the last 18 years. It’s discerning to see other football towns whose “professional teams” are adorned with overwhelming fan support simply because they do one thing the Bengals don’t do: WIN. No thanks. Mike Brown just leave town, don’t look back Ocho and Carson, admit it, you’re washed up and Bungalized.” G.D.W.

Forget Mars – Jupiter shines this month You open up your e-mail to learn that the planet Mars is coming close to the Earth this month – the closest it’s been in 60,000 years. You read that Mars will be so close that it will be the size of the full Moon. Your heart beats faster, your mind races to imagine this bloodred orb hovering eerily in the evening sky. The e-mail ends with the phrase, “No one alive today will ever see this again.” The scientist in you gets fired up. You must see this event. Unfortunately, none of it is true. This is an astronomy hoax that crisscrosses the globe every summer. The Cincinnati Observatory has seen this e-mail annually since 2003 when Mars was actually closest to the Earth. This year, the hoax-sters have added a PowerPoint presentation to highlight the errors. Do not be fooled. No one will ever see this. Right now Mars is actually very far from us. It sits more than 151 million miles away and blends into the morning stars. You can see it as an average bright, reddish “star” high in the eastern, pre-dawn sky. The best time to see Mars up close will be in January 2010 when the red planet will be a mere 61 million miles distant. Then you can look for the

canals and ice caps, but it never looks as big as the full Moon (even back in 2003). The real highlight of the season is not Mars, but the planet Jupiter. You can’t miss seeing it rise in the southeast after
sunset. Blazing like a cream-colored beacon, Jupiter far outshines every other star-like object (other than Venus, which is visible just before sunrise). With even a basic telescope you can see four of Jupiter’s moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. These four moons were discovered by Galileo nearly 400 years ago. In fact this is the International Year of Astronomy in honor of Galileo’s first telescopic observations of 1609. And you can easily recreate Galileo’s discoveries from your backyard. If you have a better telescope you can make out features on Jupiter. Cloud bands or stripes line the giant planet. But the most famous feature is the Great Red Spot, a cyclone larger than two Earths that has been churning for over 350 years. Although the Red Spot seems steady, Jupiter is in constant flux. The surface you see is the planet’s weather – stripes, white ovals and Red Jr. (a new red spot that appeared a few years ago) flow around the massive planet. Jupiter made headlines last month when a mystery object struck its massive surface. A comet or meteor slammed into the planet much like Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 did in 1994. The remnants may still be visible as a black eye near the planet’s south pole. The Cincinnati Observatory will be hosting Jupiter viewings 911 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 28, and Saturday, Aug. 29. No reservations are required. Cost is $5 a person. For more information, call the Observatory at 321-5186. I’m sorry you won’t see Mars as “advertised,” but Jupiter more than makes up for it.

St. Ursula, Ursuline hit the court By Anthony Amorini

Local girls are looking to spike the competition in 2009 as high school squads take the court for the fall volleyball season. Here is a look at the local teams:
Cincinnati Country Day
Jacqui Gardner returns all six of her Cincinnati Country Day starters from the 2008 season and the lineup’s consistency has bred high expectations for the squad. Not just limited to starters, seven players return for the team including Mariah Reed, Jayne Caron, Ricci Snell, Erica Armstead, Anna Lemen, Karis Kosar and Lisa Racine. Gardner also expects to see immediate contributions from a pair of new additions including Nichole Lowe and Lindsay Dougan. “Expectations are high this season with all of our starters returning from last year and several talented newcomers,” Gardner said via e-mail. “All of our players have improved both as individuals and as teammates.” CCD opens its season at home with a match against St. Bernard at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 3. The girls then travel for a quartet of road matches before returning home to host Clark Montessori at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 14
Clark Montessori
The Clark Montessori volleyball team finished 511 in 2008 and should have a stronger team in 2009. The Cougars return starters Brianna Mcqueen, Jessica Eves, Page War and Asia Underwood to give Clark a solid nucleus of talent. Jametta Rucker and Brea Lowe are two talented newcomers for the Cougars. Head coach Brian Lowe said the team worked hard in the offseason that should pay dividends when the team gets into conference play. “We have very good senior leadership and I look forward to the team continuing to work hard during the season and that should reap rewards during the post season,” Lowe said.
Mariemont
All six of Mariemont’s 2008 starters return for the fall campaign as the Warriors look to improve upon its 3-19 record from last season. A total of eight players return for third-year head coach Paul Fultz and the experience is heightening expectations. “This season our girls will surprise and turn a few heads,” Fultz said via email. “We no longer have a varsity team of sophomores and freshmen. We will be fun to watch.” On the Warriors’ 10-person roster in 2008, six of the girls were either freshmen or sophomores. Mariemont is led by junior outside hitter Emily Taylor, sophomore middle hitter Mackenzie Stewart, senior middle hitter Haley Weber and senior setter Courtney Parish, Fultz said. In its Cincinnati Hills League, Mariemont finished in last place in 2008 with a league record of 1-13. Indian Hill won the 2008 CHL title at 13-1 in the league and 18-6 overall. Weber finished sixth in the CHL with 44 aces last season. Taylor posted 297 digs to finish fifth in the CHL in 2008.
Purcell Marian
Scott Bahr begins his second season at the helm of the program on the heels of an 8-14 campaign. But Bahr expects to see his team finish at 16-6 or better this fall while making also making a tournament run, the coach said via email. Seven players return with varsity experience for the “very promising, young team” including Sha’Myra Lunsford, Bri Winn, Lauren Holt, Alexis Watkins, Megan Kenney, Melissa Gehlert and Paige Kroell, Bahr said. Sophomore Bria Mays is a new addition for the Cavaliers and will immediately contribute as a middle hitter. Three seniors, one junior and four sophomores will rotate in the starting lineup for Purcell, Bahr said.
Seven Hills
Strong senior leadership provided by a quartet of returning starters has second-year head coach Linda Clark thinking optimistically about the upcoming season. The group of returning seniors includes Sarah Evans, Erin Kelly, Tory Kennedy and Emily RogersFightmaster. Evans returns as an outside hitter. Kelly plays as a libero with Kennedy positioned as a setter and Rogers-Fightmaster returning as a middle hitter. Freshman Rachel White, an outside hitter, represents a key new addition for the Stingers. “(Our) team has strong senior leadership and should be very competitive in our (Miami Valley Conference) division,” Clark said via e-mail.
St. Ursula Bulldogs
Head coach Julie Perry begins her 28th season at the helm of the Bulldogs’ program with numerous experienced players returning to the court in 2009. Returning starters for the Bulldogs include seniors Catherine Janszen (outside hitter), Maria Rodenberg (setter), Christie Pettit (middle hitter), Blair Harrington (defense) and Nicole Hall (outside hitter) and junior Katie Massa (outside hitter). A quartet of additional players also return with varsity experience including juniors Jill Cowan (outside hitter) and Jena Moeller (setter) and sophomores Courtney Grdina (defense) and Courtney Smith (middle hitter). The Bulldogs also have several new additions including junior Ellen Franke (hitter) and sophomores Kasey Hollstegge (defense), Mackenzie Loesing (middle hitter) and Claire Sheanshang (setter). “We are very excited about the 2009 volleyball season,” Perry said via email. “My outside hitters (Janszen and Hall) are looking strong as well as our setters (Moeller, Rodenberg and Sheanshang). Our strengths are our outside hitters and our passing.” Saint Ursula finished at 11-13 in 2008 though the Bulldogs look to improve upon the mark in 2009. “The team has worked
hard over the summer and on their club teams to help prepare them for the (2009) season,” Perry said, referencing a summer program the Bulldogs participated in with Cincinnati Sports Medicine’s Sportsmetrics program which focused on conditioning, agility, strength and vertical jumping.
Summit Country Day
The Silver Knights lost seven players to graduation at the close of its 18-4 campaign in 2008. Second-year head coach Beth Simmons hopes her untested bunch learns the varsity ropes quickly. “We have Kear some inexperienced varsity players that will have to step up and play big,” Simmons said via e-mail. “Overall, (I) feel very comfortable with this year’s team and (I’m) looking forward to watching them come together as the season goes on.” A trio of starters return for Simmons including senior setter Kelly Kear, junior libero Jenna Wagner and junior outside hitter Kirsten Michel. A number of new additions will also be key contributors including junior middle hitter Brittany Williams, junior setter Brianna Scott, sophomore outside hitter Maddy Bain, senior middle hitter Lauren Kearns and freshman outside hitter Hannah Cunningham.
Walnut Hills
The Walnut Hills volleyball team has a new head coach at the helm and looks to finish better than the 1015 record the Eagles put up in 2008. Dion Reyes is the new head coach and expects Walnut Hills to be more competitive in the FAVC in 2009. “We are a very versatile hitting team and with a lot of experience coming back, I expect our record and standing in the league to improve,” he said. The team returns six starters, including Courtney Chase, Phylesha Bullard, Shauniece Steele, Alyx Ingram, Alyssa Essert and Jenna Bange. Sophomore Kaitlin Davis will be anoth-
er player to watch for the Eagles. Reyes said ball control is one area Walnut Hills needs to Bullard work on and that his transition to head coach has been an easy one. “The administration has been great and very supportive of the program and the girls have been very receptive to everything I wanted to do,” he said. “They made it very easy on me.”
Ursuline Academy
Ursuline’s first loss of the 2008 season came in heartbreaking fashion as the Lions fell during the Division I State Championship finals to the 29-0 squad from Olmsted Falls, 3-1 (39-37, 1625, 25-21, 25-12). Ursuline finished at 28-1 as Ohio’s Division I runnerup while also posting a 100 conference record to win a Girls’ Greater Catholic League Scarlet Division title. But a quintet of starters return for head coach Jeni Case and the Lions aim to take advantage of the experience in the hopes of a return trip to the state finals. Case was named as the GGCL Scarlet Division Coach of the Year in 2008. Ursuline’s returning starters include Dani Reinert, Kori Moster, Jade Henderson, Christina Beer and Anna Prickel. Reinert racked up 904 assists last fall and was named to the first team of the All GGCL Scarlet Division squad last fall. She also had 34 aces to finish second in the divsion. Mount Notre Dame’s Kelly Morrissey was the next best GGCL Scarlet Divison player in the assist category while finishing well behind Reinert at 616 assists. Henderson led the GGCL Scarlet Division with 306 kills in 2008. Moster led the division with 607 digs while finishing 80 digs ahead of Seton’s Danielle Beckenhaupt’s total of 527 digs. Prickel (236 digs) and Henderson (235 digs) were also defensive standouts in 2008. Withrow did not return requested information before Eastern Hills Journal deadlines.

Tennis swings back into season By Anthony Amorini
with a share of the title in 2003 as the championship was split three ways with Indian Hill and Wyoming.
aamorini@communitypress.com
The fall tennis season for high school girls is in full swing and a number of local schools have varied expectations for the upcoming season. Here’s a look at the local squads:
Seven Hills
Cincinnati Country Day
CCD junior Elizabeth Blackburn looks to make a return trip to Columbus, OH, for the Division II state championships this fall. Blackburn represented CCD at the 2008 state championships with doubles’ partner Olivia Tholke. Though Tholke graduated in the spring, Blackburn isn’t the only returning starter for 13th-year head coach Lynne Schneebeck. Alongside Blackburn, seniors Allison Lazarus and Alyssa Magarian are also returning starters. “The enthusiasm for next season has been unparalleled in my 13 years of coaching at CCD,” Schneebeck said via e-mail. “This group of seniors are hoping to unite both the varsity and JV teams into one fun team to have a successful season.” Senior Alex Lento will also contribute for CCD. Additional key new additions for CCD include sophomore Gail Yacyshyn, sophomore Hannah Stewart, freshman Meg Lazarus, freshman Caroline Blackburn and freshman Allison Mesh. The girls finished at 5-8 in 2008. “We have a very tough league (Miami Valley Conference) which includes top 10 (Division II) teams from (Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy), Seven Hills and Summit,” Schneebeck said.

Mariemont’s Hillary Purcell prepares to make a play on the ball during a 2008 match. “I think that we will have a team with great depth.”
Mariemont
On the heels of a 12-5 season, six starters return for head coach Neil Turner. Turner begins his 22nd year at the helm of the program this fall. The group of experienced Warriors includes junior Whitney Lonneman (No. 1 singles), junior Hillary Purcell (No. 2 singles), junior Libby Peters (No. 3 singles), junior Alexis Swisher (doubles), junior Haley Fallon (doubles) and sophomore Katie Peters (doubles). Lonnemann, Purcell and Peters are all third-year varsity players.
“We have a pretty experienced group and they have made a lot of improvements,” Turner said. Six girls on the team attended a week-long camp at Notre Dame to hone skills this summer, Turner said. Both playing on the doubles’ court, freshman Jasmine Slavik and sophomore Kate Hassey are key new additions for the Warriors. “We are expecting at least 15 wins or more this season,” Turner said. “They are very dedicated and team oriented. We hope to battle Wyoming and Indian Hill for (the Cincinnati Hills League) title.” Indian Hill has won 12consecutive CHL titles. Mariemont last finished
Longtime head coach Tim Drew has a fairly inexperienced varsity lineup this fall. Seven Hills lost both its No. 1 singles’ player and No. 1 doubles’ pairing to graduation at the end of both the 2007 and 2008 campaigns. Drew has been coaching boys and girls tennis at Seven Hills for 21 years. During the boys spring season in 2009, Drew recorded his 500th win with Seven Hills. Despite the graduations, a trio of varsity players return for Drew including junior Andrea Compton, sophomore Hillary Goldsmith and sophomore Jordan Seibold. Numerous new additions will also be key contributors including Haley Brunner, senior Allie Horwitz, senior Lilly Fried, junior Jennifer Springer and freshman Grace He. “Building doubles will be the main goal to prepare for the season,” Drew said via email. “They are a spirited and motivated group. They are making me believe that tradition never graduates.” Alongside Seven Hills, Drew believes Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, Summit Country Day and Cincinnati Country Day are the teams to beat in the Miami Valley Conference.
St. Ursula
A quintet of returning starters has made the transition an easy one for firstyear head coach Jamie Jamison. Jamison takes over the
Bulldogs’ program after spending three years as a Division I collegiate tennis player at the University of Cincinnati from 1995-1998. St. Ursula finished at 125 in 2008 and expectations are high for the 2009 season with such an experienced group. “This year is going to be an exciting season for the Bulldogs,” Jamison said via email. “Both doubles’ teams are showing promise and will be a big part of our success. “Our (No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 singles’ players) are all very strong and very close in ability which is (bringing) the best out of each other in practices,” Jamison added. Returning starters for the Bulldogs include junior Melissa Staley (No. 1 singles), junior Brittany Gibler (No. 2 singles), senior Claire Silbersack (No. 3 singles), senior Mary “Kate” Bayer (No. 1 doubles) and senior Julie Weldon (No. 1 doubles). A trio of players will rotate at No. 2 doubles including junior Claire Frank and sophomores Dana Clark and Meghan Corcoran. “The practices have been a lot of fun and the first match showed the Bulldogs are ready to fight this year with great team spirit,” Jamison said after St. Ursula started its season at 1-0.
Walnut Hills
The Walnut Hills tennis team should be improved from its 2-14 record in 2008. The Eagles return seniors Emma Rahn and Elizabeth Keller and junior Lindsey Lassiter. “We should have a pretty good year,” said head coach Wade Miller. “We have some young players coming in and we have a
new attitude and things are looking promising.” The team has a promising new player in exchange student Nadia Myohl. Myohl is from Switzerland and will play No. 1 singles for Walnut Hills. Miller said the key to the team’s success would be in winning doubles matches.
Ursuline Academy
Junior Komal Safdar’s trip to the Division I state championships in 2008 ended with a first-round loss to Mentor’s Kara Sherwood. But Sherwood would go on to finish as Ohio’s Division I champion after posting a 4-0 record while winning eight of nine sets at state. Despite falling to Sherwood by a score of 2-1 (06, 6-4, 6-2), Safdar was the only player to force a threeset match with Ohio’s eventual champion. “Obviously Komal has a lot of talent so we will be ready for another October state run,” third-year head coach Joe Hartkemeyer said of his No. 1 singles’ player via email. “It’s going to be a very exciting season for us.” Led by Safdar, Ursuline finished at 13-6 in 2008. Additional returning starters for Ursuline include Madison DeWitt, Jenny Robertson, Annie Sabo, Lauren Wenstrup and Maggie Egan. “I like how the team has a mix of experience, leadership, youth, energy, competitiveness, toughness and determination,” Hartkemeyer said.
Eastern Hills Journal did not receive requested information from Summit Country Day before deadlines.

Quilter stitches up blooming prize Quilter Gail Fischer of Indian Hill knew she found a top raffle prize the minute she saw fabric with roses, magnolias, daffodils, asters and pansies in rich, vibrant colors. Fischer and her sister, Jane Frontera of Corpus Christi, Texas, design a blossom-themed quilt each year to raffle at the annual Bloom for Stepping Stones, supporting programs for children and adults with disabilities. Fischer and Frontera turned that rich cotton fab-
ric into the 2009 Bloom Quilt, to be raffled at the Bloom garden party on Aug. 29 at Stepping Stones Center in Indian Hill. The full-sized handpieced quilt features a lattice forming 18 “windows.” “The colors are incredible,” said Fischer. “This quilt would make a wonderful wall hanging too.” Fischer also creates quilts for the Interfaith Hospital Network, through a churchbased quilting group at Hyde Park Community
United Methodist Church. Fischer and her sister started quilting 14 years ago as a way to spend time together with their mother. The Bloom quilt is a joint effort. Fischer usually creates the designs, chooses the fabrics and cuts and pieces the colors. Frontera does the quilting with the help of long-arm quilting machine. The Bloom quilt is the top raffle prize at the Aug. 29 Bloom event. Other prizes include a pair of green
amethyst and diamond earrings set in white gold, donated by The Fig Leaf, and a hot-air-balloon-sightseeing ride for two, donated by Balloon Adventures. Raffle tickets are $25 or five for $100. Ticket buyers do not have to attend the event to win. The raffle is part of the Bloom garden party that includes dinner-by-the-bite from nearly 20 fine restaurants and caterers, dancing to music by Above the Bar, cocktail music by Glenn Lindahl, a silent auction, Bloom cocktails, beer and wine. The party is lakeside at Stepping Stones Center, 5650 Given Road, Indian
Hill, 45243. Tickets are $125 per person until Aug. 24 and $150 at the door. It is the major fund raiser for Stepping Stones Center, which started in 1963 as Greater Cincinnati’s first summer day camp for children with disabilities. Today, Stepping Stones Center offers year-round programs serving children and adults with all levels of disabilities including autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, multiple disabilities and medically fragile conditions. For information on programs, contact Stepping Stones Center, 831-4660 or www.steppingstonescen-

Eight Cincinnati teens from the YMCA Youth in City Government Program represented Ohio at the YMCA Youth Conference on National Affairs and returned with two of the highest honors presented. Held in North Carolina, the conference hosted teen delegations from across the country. Prior to the event, students were required to select a national or international issue and develop a plan of action for resolving it. They argued for their proposal in a committee process with a final goal of presenting it to the General Assembly or Plenary. Only 10 proposals – out of 580 – made it to the General Assembly and, for the FIRST time in Ohio’s history, a member of the 2009 team was among them.
