Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority spokeswoman Kelly Kramer said it is not looking for any property in Anderson Township. “We’re not buying anything in

Kramer said it’s rare for the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority to develop single-family homes and the policy is to buy more multifamily homes because “it is more economical.” She added that the housing authority would no longer be buying any more single-family homes.

Newtown still opposed to proposed road By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com
The Eastern Corridor project is strongly opposed by Newtown officials, and a recent update on the project did nothing to quell those concerns. The Newtown Village Council heard an update from members of the Hamilton County Engineers Office as well as the Ohio Department of Education during its June 9 meeting. No action was taken, as it was just an informal update, followed

Newtown will conduct a public hearing to discuss the Eastern Corridor project at 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 14, at Miami Valley Christian Academy, 6830 School St. in Newtown.

Mayor Curt Cosby, who’s spoken out against the project in the past, said council “didn’t hear
anything new” about the Eastern Corridor, which he says would take out about one-third of the village’s business base as well as homes. “I don’t know if there is a whole lot of hope at this point,” he said. Ted Hubbard, chief deputy county engineer, said there’s much work still to be done on the project. He said Newtown and the various other communities that would be affected by the corridor will continue to be heavily

While those routes haven’t changed since he first voiced his concerns, Hubbard said the entire process has been open and those behind the corridor project hope to find acceptable alternate routes for all concerned. “These were developed with a significant amount of public input,” Hubbard said. “But the work is not done.” Beacon coupon

Anderson boy takes fight against diabetes to D.C. By Lisa Wakeland lwakeland@communitypress.com
For three days, Trevor Kuncl will take his fight against diabetes to Washington, D.C. Kuncl, 10, of Anderson Township is one of 150 children selected for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Children’s Congress. “I told them my story and I want to talk to Congress about raising money for diabetes,” he said. Kuncl was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 6 years old and his younger sister, Taylor, 7, also has type 1 diabetes. They both test their blood sugar eight to 10 times a day and wear insulin pumps. Kuncl said it’s hard to remember to consistently test his blood sugar, especially while he’s playing sports.

Mt. Washington couple convicted of theft Gannett News Service When an Indiana volunteer fire department called the manufacturer of a brass nozzle seeking a spare part, the maker wanted to know why that department had property owned by Cincinnati. That call led to an investigation that culminated last week with the conviction of a Cincinnati firefighter and his girlfriend, who admitted they stole about $75,000 in fire equipment and sold it online. Eric Bacon, 35, a Cincinnati firefighter, pleaded guilty last week to theft in office and receiving stolen property, both felonies. Angela Nicole Smith, 27, pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property and telecommunications fraud, also felonies. Bacon and Smith share a home in Mt. Washington. The nozzle, worth about $900, was just part of the $75,000 Bacon admitted he stole from the city s property room. He stole nozzles, special undergarments used in fighting fires, helmets, boots, gloves, fire axes and medical supplies.

Smith then sold the items on eBay, the online auction site, from the Mount Washington home the pair shared. They were basically running a pawn shop on eBay, assistant Hamilton County prosecutor Bill Anderson said. Each of the fire nozzles, made by just one company, had serial numbers on them. The manufacturer, when called by the volunteer fire department for the spare part, looked up that serial number and saw they’d sold it to Cincinnati. Common Pleas Judge Norbert Nadel will sentence both July 23.
Your Community Press newspaper serving Anderson Township, California, Mount Washington, Newtown
Bacon faces a maximum prison sentence of 61⁄2 years, Smith a maximum of three years in prison. But both likely will receive probation if they repay the city $74,000, the value of the stolen items. Bacon said he plans to cash in his deferred compensation owed him by the city he earned as a firefighter. City officials didn’t immediately respond to questions about his employment status after Bacon admitted he was a thief and felon. Bacon joined the department in 1999. His annual salary last year was $58,256.

House at Newtown park to become home to local groups By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com
0000341960
The house within Moundview Park in Newtown is getting a makeover that will restore it so it may serve as a meeting place for various local groups. The village has received about $13,500 in donated time and materials, and the Newtown Village Council recently voted to transfer money from another park fund to assist in completing the project. Councilman Brian Burns said when volunteers began the renovation project they discovered more extensive damage than initially estimated.

The house at Moundview Park looks like a typical home on the outside, but inside, a major renovation is under way. ROB DOWDY/STAFF
The house at Moundview Park is in need of major repairs. Newtown Village Councilman Brian Burns studies the work being done to replace the floor, which has sunk as many as four inches in spots. The home will eventually be rented out to community groups and for personal gatherings. “We saw a lot of need in the house,” he said. Workers are attempting to give the home the look it likely had in between 1890 and 1900. According to Burns, artifacts and photographs found in the home link it to that era. The plan for the home is create a meeting area for community groups – the
a
Newtown Business Association, Greater Newtown Civic League and the Village of Newtown Veterans Memorial Association, to name a few – and begin to collect some of the money that’s been used to repair the home. Pauline Murrie, member of the business association and veterans group, said there’s already personal and community group interest in
renting the space for everything from quilting group meetings to receptions, and Burns said that interest is expected to grow as the project reaches completion and the memorial wall, also planned for Moundview Park, takes shape. The project began in February, and Burns expects the first floor of the house to be ready by September. He said the second floor renovations have no timetable for completion and will depend on donations and volunteers.

The township is working with the state on designs for the first section of the trail on Kellogg Avenue between Sutton and Five Mile roads. Steve Sievers, director of the township’s Development Services Department, said hills and slopes along this proposed section could create a problem. “When you build a trail like that in an existing right of way you try to design around the existing situation,” he said.

Forest Hills may buy new energy efficient buses By Forrest Sellers fsellers@communitypress.com
The Forest Hills School District is expected to replace six of its older buses with ones which are more environmentally friendly. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded the district a grant for $108,000 to replace the buses. “The idea is to replace some of the older, energy inefficient buses with buses that are more energy efficient,” said Ray Johnson, director of business operations for the district, via e-mail. Johnson said the newer buses will meet more of the current clean air standards. The buses will use a clean diesel technology, according to Sarah Dowers, a public relations coordinator with the Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services. “These new buses will be 80 percent cleaner burning than the older buses,” said Dowers.
The Environmental Protection Agency will provide more than $1 million in grant funding for seven school districts in the Tristate area. This funding will go toward buying 60 clean diesel technology school buses, according to Dowers. Johnson said the district has used previous grant funding to retrofit 25 of its older buses with diesel oxidation catalysts, which also reduce the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere. The buses were retrofitted in 2006, according to Johnson. Forest Hills has been very active in the Hamilton County Department of Environmental Service’s Clean Diesel Campaign, said Ken Edgell, an environmental administrative coordinator with the department. Johnson said the purchase of the buses, which will cost an estimated $561,876, is budgeted over the course of three years. As of press time, the Forest Hills School Board had not voted on the purchase of the buses.

Convergys Partners with Anderson for Job Shadow Day Seventeen high school juniors from Anderson High School’s Business Management program received a lesson in diversity at Convergys Corporation during their recent Job Shadow Day. The day began with an introduction and overview of the company by Convergys president and CEO Dave Dougherty followed by an interactive session with Curt Stoll, vice president of Human Resources, which focused on the importance of making good choices in life and helped the students learn how to discover the many possibilities for their future. The students then were paired with their “Business Buddies,” Convergys employee volunteers representing various areas within the company, from customer and project management to human resources and finance.
Employees took the students on a brief tour of their work areas, introduced them to their colleagues and described the activities of a typical workday. Convergys also introduced students to the diversity of its workforce through the “Passport to Convergys” exercise. Each student received a “passport” for a tour of 10 stations featuring Convergys employees from Canada, Peru, Jamaica, China, Iran, India, the Philippines and the Czech Republic. The employees shared information about the number of languages they speak, what they like most about the U.S. and their most difficult adjustment to American culture. When the students finished talking with each employee, they received a stamp on their pass-
port. “We wanted to show the diversity of positions and people that characterizes Convergys,” said Dee Dee Miller, specialist in global talent development. “Some of the students commented that we made them aware of career options they didn’t know existed.” Anderson High School’s Business Management program provides students with job readiness and internship skills that will better prepare them for entering the workforce. Convergys has participated in the Job Shadow Day program for three years, and Miller sees benefits for the company as well. “We hope that these students will view Convergys as an employer of choice when they graduate so they will bring the talent back to us,” she said.

Turnaround fuels McNick softball By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The McNicholas High School girls’ softball team struggled out of the gate in 2009, going 1-7 in the first eight games. The Rockets rebounded in a big way though, going 14-2 through the end of the regular season. “Overall it was a pretty successful season,” head coach Tim Ross said. “We started out getting roughed up early because they were getting used to me as a coach and we had to get players used to playing with each other.” Ross said the team got frustrated with the early start and he said the coaches kept trying to keep the kids positive. “They were used to winning so it was rough but we kept telling them they were very talented,” he said. “Just through sheer tenacity, the girls turned it all around. That’s what they need to be proudest of. They stepped their game up to the next level.” Ross said the turnaround was “like watching night and day” and that the team’s original goal was just to get back to .500. McNick finished the year at 15-10, beating Goshen 1-0 in the first round of the tournament. “It’s hard to explain the intangibles that started coming together but the best way to put it is they

The team was led by senior pitcher and MVP Sarah Buchheit. Buchheit led the team in hits (24) and batting average (.381). Sarah Spriggs and Amy Hollenkamp were also key contributors for the Rockets, especially at the plate. Both had more than 20 hits and the duo combined for 23 runs batted in. Brie Powers was another key standout for McNick. While the Rockets are losing a
considerable amount of talent and senior leadership from the 2009 squad, Ross hopes the lessons learned will carry over to 2010 in the underclassmen. “Emily Haas, Haley Mehring and Hannah Schoolfield are starters coming back next year, along with a few other girls who contributed off the bench and I believe they will carry it forward,” Ross said. “They saw this turnaround and how much fun it is so I think they want to repeat that.”

Sabine’s Cup gets kids to play for a cause The third annual Sabine’s Cup tees off June 29 at the Ivy Hills Country Club, offering Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky teens a day of fun, a chance to carry home prizes-and an opportunity to give back to their community. Sabine’s Cup is a golf outing with a difference: It is the only such event organized and presented for kids, by kids (with a little help from family and friends). The event will be from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at Ivy Hills Country Club, 7711 Ivy Hills Boulevard, in the Newtown/Anderson Township area. The event raised more than
$30,000 in donations in the past two years. The goal is to make a difference, as all proceeds will benefit Cincinnati’s CancerFree Kids (www.cancerfreekids.org). Founded by Elliot Rubenstein (and his mom, Karen) in memory of his aunt, Sabine Friedrichsmeyer, a young Cincinnati woman who died at age 25 of leukemia. Sabine was a sports enthusiast and avid equestrian from childhood on, whose boundless energy and passion for giving characterized her throughout life. Players age 13 to 18 who enter Sabine’s Cup will raise charitable funds with all proceeds contribut-
ing to CFK’s important research on childhood cancers. Ivy Hills is reducing greens’ fees to encourage players to participate, and a limited number of “outing scholarships” will cover those fees for players who cannot afford them. Cost of $60 covers both reduced greens fees for the day, including lunch and carts. A limited number of day scholarships will also be available to cover these fees for those eligible. For details on entering-or about volunteering or sponsoring players, call 309-9098. Check out www.sabinescup.com for details.
Donate to keep Anderson coach’s legacy alive On behalf of the Anderson Youth Wildcats Football program, the Anderson Youth Wildcats football program is conducting the fourth annual Willis G. (Bill) Seaman Memorial Invitational Bowl. The football program is asking the community to donate funds to get some small token to give to players, cheerleaders and coaches of the invited teams at the bowl. The bowl games will be played at Anderson High School’s Brown Stadium Sunday, Sept. 6.
Seaman became an Anderson Youth football Icon because of the many years of being a dedicated football coach for his sons, grandsons and many other young boys. Seaman’s primary goal was to teach young boys the basics of football giving each and everyone an opportunity to play regardless of their natural ability. The experience of learning to be a team player is a life-long lesson, just as learning to love the game results in a future football
fan. Serving as a role model for new and future coaches as well as supporting their needs was always his goal. This is where you as a person or company representative can help keep Seaman’s dream alive. Make checks payable to Anderson Youth Football, and memo: at the bottom Willis Seaman Memorial Fund, mail to Anderson Youth Football, c/o PBusacco, 436 Heathgate Road, Cincinnati, OH 45255.

Which are you more likely to attend this summer, a Cincinnati Reds game or a Florence Freedom minor league game? Why? “Thanks for asking. Go Cincinnati Reds – for a new and young team they are doing Cincinnati proud. I am looking forward to going to the five games my family and I already have purchased tickets for.” L.M.R. “I will attend two or three Freedom games rather than the Reds. Frankly, it’s cheaper and more fun, especially for the kids. I don’t enjoy going to a Reds game. I end up missing half the game passing food, drinks and change up and down the rows and trying to see around vendors who sell everything but used cars.” W.H. “I would more likely attend a Reds game - just because it is a tad closer and because I am used to going to Reds games.” D.K. “I’ve already been to a Reds game but I’ll probably go to a Freedom game also. Each offers something different. I’m excited that the Reds are winning and going to the games are great but the Freedom offers a closer view of the game, cheaper tickets and affordable food. We’re lucky to have so many options.” J.H. “I will do to at least five games this year. I am a Reds fan all the way. Even though Pete Rose did not get what he deserved from

“I would have to say a Reds game. The Reds are having a pretty good season so far and I like the attitude of some of the newer players. They are a harder working group of players.” “I do like to go to some Cincinnati Steam games at the field across from Western Hills High School. This is a summer season league for college players during their off season. It’s fun to watch younger players who are playing for the love of the game, instead of a paycheck.” J.W. “Florence Freedom. It’s cheaper, less crowded and more enjoyable watching guys who love the game play.” K.P. “Florence Freedom, without a doubt. Close to home, free parking, cheap tickets, great baseball entertainment, family fun, great deals/sponsors. What a fantastic addition to Northern Kentucky.” T.F. “I prefer the Florence Freedom. Parking is easier and much cheaper, seats are closer to the action, cost of seat is reasonable, players play because they enjoy the game ... and it’s all fun.” C.J.W.

Clearing up inaccuracies in letter Sometimes it’s hard to catch transitions between inaccuracies and non-sequiters. Such is the case with the latest letter by Robert Willard. It is one thing to suggest a “big picture” review of various factors that may have an impact on our economy, and quite another to misunderstand “stipulations” on the federal level and then equate them with a presumed capability to “stipulate” at a local level in a way that would bypass decades, if not centuries, of laws and regulations that have evolved through various public jurisdictions with the support, or at least concurrence, of their respective residents. Closer to home, I’m not sure whether or not Mr. Willard is insinuating that I am responsible for what he describes as “the possible bankruptcy of the Anderson Towne Center.” I do know that this has not been a great year for retail, and there has been an anticipated level of turnover among smaller retailers. However, the ATC has as one of its anchors what it still reputed to be the most profitable store in the Kroger chain. Also, I typically speak once or twice a month with the executive vice president of the owner of the ATC, and there has been no discussion of anything dire at our primary shopping center (in fact, Mr. Willard might want to be aware that starting unfounded rumors may stimulate economic losses for which he might be held accountable). Contrary to his assertions, Mr. Willard might want to note that construction in the ATC is under way for a new Fifth Third Branch
off the Five Mile ATC entrance, as it is for the 1400-plus seat, 10-screen, firstrun cinema near Anderson Center Station. I would chalHenry Dolive lenge Mr. Willard to find Community similar percent-a Press guest age of investcolumnist ment taking place in any of the region’s larger shopping centers, much less investments like the cinema which should provide a significant boost to current businesses. His own irrelevant citation of the Kenwood Towne Center makes this point well. Lastly, we can only assume that Mr. Willard is referring to Anderson Center (not the previous office site now known as the Operations Center) when he states that the ATC is “the collateral for the Anderson Government Center.” Not only does he have the wrong place, he is wrong. The bonds to build Anderson Center were secured based on the township’s highly coveted Aa1 Moody’s rating, and are to be paid back through TIF revenues backed up by the general fund. The ATC represents only a few of over 1,300 parcels which are TIF’d in Anderson, hardly what a reasonable person would refer to as “the collateral.” The encouragement of office, manufacturing and retail in Anderson is what is known as economic development and it not only provides residents with shop-

Do your share County aims to increase accountability during smog season Warm weather is immersing the Tristate, which means smog season is upon us! The OhioKentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) asks that everyone do their share for cleaner air this summer to reduce smog and improve the region’s air quality. “Smog is dangerous because it is an environmental concern that can negatively affect a person’s health,” said OKI Board President and Campbell County Judge Executive Steve Pendery. “That is why preventing and reducing smog pollution is important for everyone in the Tristate region.” Smog is especially harmful to children, the elderly, and those with respiratory problems. Smog is dangerous because it restricts the lungs from absorbing oxygen, which makes breathing very difficult. Inhaling this pollutant can cause short-term health problems such as shortness of breath, chest pains and wheezing. It can also cause more damaging long-term health problems such as chronic inflammation of lung tissue, increased respiratory symptoms, heart attacks, lung disease and chronic bronchitis. Smog can also have a harmful and lasting impact on the environment including plants and trees. Constant smog pollution can alter and seriously disturb environmental growth over time. Smog alerts are issued when there are high levels of pollution in the presence of sunlight, high temperatures and little cloud coverage. It is important to pay atten-
tion to local media outlets to find out when a smog alert has been issued; interested individuals can also call 1-800-621SMOG and sign Katie Lauber up to receive a Community smog alert notiPress guest fication when an is issued. columnist alertLuckily, there are many simple changes everyone can make to reduce smog and keep the air clean including: carpooling, walking or riding a bike short distances, refueling and using gasoline powered lawn equipment after 8 p.m., maintaining vehicles, conserving electricity, limiting car idling, and spreading the clean air message to friends, family and coworkers. Doing these things will have positive health effects and help improve the environment. These steps can also save money! “It doesn’t take much effort to change your daily habits and become a clean air advocate,” said OKI Executive Director Mark Policinski. “Simply being conscious of your decisions and planning ahead can make a significant difference.” For more information and additional tips to reduce air pollution, visit www.DoYourShare.org or call 1-800-621-SMOG. Katie Lauber is the Clean Air program assistant for the Ohio- KentuckyIndiana Regional Council of Governments.
It’s hard not to be discouraged with the current state of government, when high-profile scandals and reports of wasteful spending continue to grab headlines, at all levels of government. Too often, it seems the elected officials forget that it is your taxpayer dollars paying for it all. That is why Hamilton County recently implemented two critical reforms aimed at increasing government accountability and provided clear bright lines for ethical conduct. Transparency in Spending. We recently went “live” with a Web site program that lists all county spending, across all departments. Any citizens can go on-line, and search to see how each department is spending tax dollars. Whether it’s purchasing furniture, office supplies, or automobiles, you can now see how your tax dollars are spent, and hold your elected officials accountable if something seems amiss. We have also taken steps to ensure that there are no privacy risks in this effort at transparency
JOURNAL
all sorts of other guidelines to ensure county ethics are first-rate. This work is critical. To best use taxpayer dollars, we must ensure that county employees are always doing the right thing, that decisions at all levels are always made on the merits and not other influences, and that employees are hired and promoted based on the quality of their work for the taxpayers, and not other, unrelated issues. Both employees, and citizens, will benefit from a full knowledge of our laws, rules and policies around different ethics issues. And county government performs at its best when these rules are adhered to 100 percent. These are just a few of the initiatives under way to save taxpayers money, improve the quality of services, and restore confidence in local government. To read more about the reforms under way, visit my Web site at http://cincypeptalk.blogspot.com/. David Pepper is president of the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners.

Barbara James has a passion for teaching and for new challenges. The Anderson Township kindergarten teacher said preparing her students for life is just as important as getting them ready for the next grade. “The academics are important but I think just as important, if not more, is developing a person that is kind, a person that has manners LISA WAKELAND/STAFF and is respectful of themselves and Anderson Township resident Barbara James, a other people,” said kindergarten teacher at Riverview East Academy, James, a teacher at was one of 15 recipients of the National Teacher Riverview East Award from Time Warner Cable. Academy. By combining education with real world applications, James developed a unit on animals that earned her one of 15 National Teacher Awards from Time Warner Cable. The challenge, she said, was incorporating a variety of multimedia with standard curriculum to engage the students in learning about mammals, fish and birds. The unit covered everything from language arts and math to science and music, and James said they used the National Geographic channel and the Cincinnati Zoo Web site to add another dimension to the subject matter. Part of the project was writing a book about how animals help humans, as well as creating and performing an original play. “It was phenomenal, the work that they did,” she said of her students. “I want to keep that joy for learning and that curiosity growing.” Reported by Lisa Wakeland.

Ever wonder how normal you are? “Why can’t you just be normal?” “Why aren’t you like the other (husbands/wives/kids/ whomever)?” Hearing that can make our self-respect hit the skids. For if we are not deemed normal, doesn’t that mean we are considered as abnormal, weird, odd, or peculiar in front of the rest of the world? Analyst Dr. Lawrence Jaffe notes that “Patient after patient speaks to me of the frustration in not being able to be ‘normal.’ What a relief to realize that normality is a statistical concept with no empirical validity … This is no such thing as being normal. But what a long road it is that leads finally to that realization.” Normality is an abstraction derived from the study of statis-
tics. It doesn’t exist in reality. Science may say the average or “normal” stone in a certain riverbed is 4 inches long and 2 inches wide. Yet, a search may never find a stone exactly that size in the stream (what a relief to the rest of the stones!) Stones don’t try to conform themselves to some desirable proportion. But humans do. We forget we are unprecedented. Isaac Singer writes, “Every human character occurs only once in the whole history of human beings.” Such uniqueness makes it impossible to say who’s normal. Government, science and religion have their own “normal” molds. The government mold says
we’re fairly normal if we pay our taxes and obey federal regulations; science considers us normal when we match their statistics and research; religion tends to see normality as being asexual, unquestioning and docile. Seldom do we hear the encouraging words of St. Francis de Sales: “Be yourself! But be your best self!” “The scientist is always looking for an average,” wrote Carl Jung, “yet the truth is that the carriers of life are individuals, not average numbers. When everything is statistical, all individual qualities are wiped out … If you wipe out the mythology of a man and his entire historical sequence, he becomes a statistical average, a number; that is, he becomes nothing.” Individuation (not individual-
but paradoxically also the easiest because it is the only one that will allow you to die with the knowledge that you lived your life through and through.”
ism) means becoming what we have in us to become. God does not create us and then wonder, “Why did I do that?” We are created as a divine idea with a purpose and a destination. There would be no individuation if there were not roadblocks, detours, and personal efforts – just as there would be no path if there was no wilderness around it that was hewn out by our steps. The singularity of each of our paths is part of what makes finding and staying on it so difficult. Nothing is as important as carrying our own cross, said Jesus Christ. Jaffe wrote, “That means the same as finding and following the path of individuation which has been prepared for you from eternity. This is the most difficult path

New video cameras save money, space on vacation w i t h great pictures. I thought v i d e o couldn’t get much better – Howard Ain but I was Hey Howard! wrong. I recently got a Flip Video HD camera and was shocked at the brilliant, colorful pictures it took – in high definition. My experience with that camera prompted me to buy the Flip Ultra HD camera, which can hold up to two hours of video, instead of one hour, before the pictures have to be downloaded. It comes with a rechargeable battery that can be replaced with two AA batteries should you run out of power and need to keep shooting. I took that camera on a
recent trip to Hawaii and was simply amazed at the pictures I got. At one point, I ran out of power while on a road trip and couldn’t stop to recharge the battery. That’s when the ability to use two AA batteries came in very handy – it allowed me to continue taking pictures when I wouldn’t have been able to do so otherwise. I have since downloaded the video to my computer and looked at the pictures side-by-side with video I had previously taken with my other camera. Even though the older pictures were good, these new pictures were far superior and were taken with a camera so small I can put it in my pocket – and often did while on my trip. One other thing, the new Flip camera cost just a fraction of what I paid for that state-of-the art cam-
era years ago. The Flip Ultra HD cost me less than $200. Other companies make similar small cameras – like Kodak, whose camera uses memory cards that you can change when they become full. Replaceable cards are an advantage because it means there’s no need to stop and download your videos should your camera’s storage fill up. Bottom line, if you love to take pictures of your family check out the new pocket-sized high definition video cameras. They don’t have all the bells and whistles you’ll find

If you’re like me, you love to take videos during family vacations – I’ve been doing it for years. But if you haven’t checked lately you will be shocked at how small the cameras have become – and much less expensive, too. At first home pictures consisted of black and white stills and movies. That soon gave way to color photos and movies – then videotape. The first video camera I owned was quite large and required a separate video recorder that I carried over my shoulder. When technology changed, I bought a small, excellent, video camera with the tape inside the unit. The size was so small I could hold it in one hand. It cost more than $1,800, but the video was so good I took it on a trip to China and came back

Let sunlight cook next batch of preserves ly-oriented. The little ones got to help pick and some ate more than they put in their trays. I’m glad the kids weren’t weighed before and after. The berries were ripe and so delicious. The best part was going back to my house where we made 50
What a fun day. Jalean and Jessie, my daughtersin-law, and their kids went with me to A&M Farms in Brown County to pick strawberries. The aroma that hit us when we got out of our cars was berry heaven! Those folks are so fami-
jars of jams and sauces. And we got it all done by mid-afternoon. We’ll serve the jam for Father’s Day breakfast. One of my fond memories is seeing my dad, Charlie Nader’s, smile when I’d bring him a jar of sun-cooked strawberry preserves for Father’s Day.
Sun-cooked strawberry preserves
1 quart or pound strawberries, sliced thickly 3 cups sugar or more to taste 1 ⁄2 cup water 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Cook sugar, water and lemon juice until boiling and cook until sugar dissolves. Put berries in, lower to simmer and cook just until they start to lose their color and shrink a bit. Pour into sprayed shallow baking pan (I use cookie sheets with sides) in single layers. Set in sun for three to four days. When berries are plump and turn darker red and syrup has jelled, pack into jars without reheating. Store in refrigerator up to a month or in freezer up to six months. If it rains, bring inside. If insects are a problem, cover with cheesecloth.

Chef Scott Riehle’s Apple Blue Cheese Canapés: Scott is a young, immensely creative chef at St. Francis Friary on Vine Street in Cincinnati. I visited the friary recently. It has beautiful, serene walled gardens where the friars sometimes take their meals. Scott cooks for 11 resident friars plus unexpected guests from around the world. Scott told me, “Some like meat and potatoes, some are more sophisticated since they were missionaries in far-flung places. “This is one of my favorite appetizers to make for guests. Omit the bacon and it becomes a wonderful vegetarian option.” The friary is lucky to have this west-side chef, who’s cooking philosophy is: “If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong!”

All your protection under one roof ®
Cynthia Guffey
Close your ears — but open your eyes. Look for opportunities. Stock prices are down, but they won’t always be — and, all else being equal, investors who buy at lower prices are likely to earn higher returns than those who buy stocks when prices are higher. Focus on things you can control. You can control your emotions so you don’t panic and make unwise short-term decisions, such as putting all your money under your mattress. Review and rebalance your portfolio. Meet with your financial advisor to determine if you should rebalance your portfolio by adding more money to those asset classes that have fallen the most. Look for quality investments. When you buy stocks, look for those companies with strong balance sheets. If you’re purchasing bonds, stick with those with high credit ratings. Be patient. Successful investors stay the course and take advantage of opportunities while others are “bailing out” of the financial markets.

Learn to express emotions Identifying emotions can be hard for anyone to do. After emotions are identified then comes the task of what to do with them, or how to handle them. “It is important for children at a young age to be able to begin identifying their emotions and practice handling them in a positive way,” stated Jean Bode, Wilson Elementary school counselor, “this helps them later in life when faced with more difficult emotions and decisions.” Leap Beyond Therapy, a pediatric physical therapy center in Anderson Township, reaches out to children with special needs. Leap Beyond Therapy is hosting
an Expressing Emotion small group for children beginning June 25. The small group is geared for ages 8-14, and all children are welcome. Bode will teach the class and support the small group from 7 to 8 p.m. Thursdays at Leap Beyond Therapy, which is located in the Beech Acres Park RecPlex. The session is for six consecutive weeks, and cost is $72. Each class will invite the parents back 10-15 prior to dismissal so techniques and discussions from that class can be taught to the adults.

The girls met during the last 18 months to work on their Catholic spiritual award, which is one of the requirements for their Dolley Madison Level Award in the American Heritage Girls. Fr. Jerry Hiland, pastor at St. Louis, officiated for the mass and presented the Marian Medals, with Sr. Mary Evelyn Hillebrand RSM, who had given their retreat.

Paul Robert Leary: Public Education Leader “Renaissance Man” memorialized
Born in Latrobe, Pennsylvania to James E. and Rose Kettering Leary he received his bachelor’s degree and masters in Business Administration from the University of Pittsburgh. He continued further doctoral graduate studies from the Western Reserve University in Administration and Supervision and Vocational Guidance studies at the University of Cincinnati. He also served the US Army from 1942-1945. The beginning of a remarkable career began in a high school Industrial Arts class in Norwood, Ohio after teaching in Mentor, Ohio for 3 years. He evolved from a classroom teacher in 1951 to being appointed Clerk –Treasurer of the Norwood School district. He held that post until 1962 when he was then appointed to the office of Assistant Superintendent combining the two positions. His career concluded with his retirement in June 1982. His entire public education career (56 years) benefited the student community in Ohio. In the whirlwind of activity of his life, Paul’s passion and interests were also his many involvements in “community service and achievement for the common good.” He was named the “Outstanding Man of the Year for the Norwood Jaycees and was instrumental in establishing the “Junior Citizenship Award Project.” He chaired and was president of many civic organizations: United Appeal campaign and advisory and school chair, Norwood Service League 1956-2003 chairman of the Executive board and general chair of the building campaign for the new day care center: Norwood Recreation Commission 1958 – 1990 receiving a ‘Certificate of Appreciation” from the Ohio School Athletic Association; his devoted council and support at the Norwood Presbyterian Church where he served on the church building committee, Superintendent of the Sunday School, treasurer, and Ruling Elder and Elder from 1951-1990. He later joined the Knox Presbyterian Church in Hyde Park and remained active there until he moved to Scottsdale in 2004 where he and Marjorie became members at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley. For several generations of school business officials, the name ‘ Paul Leary’ evoked an image of a respected, caring and committed public official. This amazing man championed many projects throughout his 50+ years of dedicated service to the Ohio Association of School Business Officials (OASBO). Paul attended his first workshop in 1953 and also joined the Association of School Business
Sunday Night Bingo
Officials of the United States and Canada (ASBO). His enthusiasm and desire to grow professionally led him to leadership positions at OASBO and culminated with his presidency in 1961-1962. He was the president of the Ohio Association of Public School Employees with a membership of 27,000 at the time. He was president of the southwest district Association for two terms and has served the district as a member of the OAPSE state executive board, and was general chairman when its convention was held in Cincinnati. His expertise in managing and development helped him to be the legislative liaison and become a director of the Educator and Executive Insurance Company. Paul’s passion, professional growth and enthusiasm continued to lead him to serve his professional organizations. After serving in several national leadership positions, Paul was elected President of ASBO International in 1983. The conference was held in Phoenix, Arizona and the theme for his term was “Excellence: ASBO’s Key to Professionalism.” That year membership reached 6,000 for the first time. He felt it important for people to join and become active and dedicated to be a more effective business official, a more efficient manager and a better school administrator. He dedicated himself to the organization for more than 55 years and received the RSBA designation. He and wife, Marjorie, traveled to every state and province of Canada during his term as president. He was loved and respected by his peers. Paul was revered as “ Mr. Congeniality” and “Mr. ASBO International.” His leadership was at the forefront of the profession from Clerk-Treasurer to Treasurer. Paul’s commitment to public education, his passion for school business management and his kindness to everyone are his legacy to OASBO and ASBO International. Paul Leary was a humble, devoted, and cherished husband, daddy and Papa who always gave unconditional love to everyone, especially his family. He loved life! He loved growing prize winning roses, playing bridge and poker with friends, parties, and summers at the Jersey Shore, helping those less fortunate, and enjoying his grandchildren. Traveling with Marjorie after retirement was a joy as they enjoyed many European trips together, but he was always ready to be back into the many ‘projects’ that waited. Paul had an endless ‘smile from his soul’ that made people feel, as they were special. Paul Robert Leary is survived by daughter, Lyn and Tom Ambrose and son Spencer; of Scottsdale; Jeffrey P. Leary and son Travis; of Port Charlotte, Florida; Dr. Christopher P. and Sandra Leary, and their sons Alex and Casey, of Loveland, Ohio. Also surviving are his brother, James Leary of Butler, PA and cherished sisterin-law and husband, Dr. Walter C. and Nancy McKelvey Lusk of Los Angeles as well as many nieces and nephews. A “Celebration of a Life Well Lived’ to honor Paul will be held Saturday, June 20, 2009 at Dr. Christopher and Sandra Leary’s home with a tent erected in the back yard rain or shine. Call 513-683-9033 to RSVP and request directions. Please dress comfortably for the service and Irish celebration afterwards.

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY 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.
