Group hikes to improve city By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com
Some residents and city officials In Forest Park are taking to the streets in search of property code violations and other general issues. The community service team, made up of a rotating roster of residents and city officials that periodically walks through a neighborhood to spot issues or code violations, has been operating for about a year and a half. City Manager Ray Hodges said the group walks for about an hour, and various city officials note violations in order to cite residents. Community Traffic Safety Officer Nick Fimiani, who’s main job is to address quality of life issues, said he issues about 50 tickets a month, ranging from sidewalk parking to overgrown lawns. He said the community service team has been instrumental in identifying violations. “You notice a lot of things you may not notice driving through,” Fimiani said. Trisch Reinhardt, property maintenance supervisor, said the team decides on a section of the city to walk and everything from sidewalk repairs to loose dogs are noted by the officials who deal with those situations everyday. She said not only have the walk-throughs helped communication between the city and interested residents, but its also improved the ROB DOWDY/STAFF lines of communication between the separate Forest Park City Manager Ray Hodges (center) leads Forest Park police officer Nick Fimiani and several residents on a walk of a city departments within the city. neighborhood during the community service team’s walk, which is done periodically to spot property code violations and other issues “It really makes a difference,” Reinhardt in various neighborhoods. said.
NCH couple retired, but working hard By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
When Marlene and Dick Sellins retired, there was no thought of sitting back and taking it easy. The North College Hill residents went right back to work, volunteering with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. The couple, together, have donated more than 16,859 hours of love, time and hard work to Children’s. While they never collected a paycheck, Dick says he got much more than he gave. The pair were recently honored with a 2009 Jefferson Award. The awards were established in 1972 as part of the American Institute for Public Service, to be a “Nobel Prize” for public and community service. Marlene says the couple supported the hospital financially for a number of years, but after Dick retired at 54, he got a letter back saying thanks for the donation, and that the hospital needed help. Marlene says her husband has been a volunteer for 22 years and he’s worn a number of hats since he began. Colleen Phillips, clinical director, Volunteer Services, at Cincinnati Children’s, said, “Dick knows the titles of hundreds of videos and DVDs, and he can play any

for its patients. Marlene is a whiz in the office and she started her volunteer work in 1995, collating hundreds and thousands of charts, mailings and event brochures.
Phillips said Marlene can fold, label and stuff envelopes faster than the U.S. Postal Service staff. One of Marlene’s projects is collating same day surgery paperwork, which consists of 13 pieces of paper. Her goal is to do at least 400 sets every Wednesday afternoon. “That means in one afternoon, Marlene is moving 5,200 pieces of paper, using 400 paper clips and bundling everything into packs of 50, securing them with a rubber band,” Phillips said. “She is the collating queen.” Marlene says it just feels good to be doing something that really helps other people. The couple has formed lasting friendships with their fellow volunteers. In fact, members of the Wednesday afternoon “lunch bunch,” as they call themselves, visit each other’s homes for dinner and even travel together. The couple, who have been married for 54 years, is also active at Immanuel United Church of Christ on Queen City Avenue. Marlene is also a member at St. Margaret Mary Church. Dick says the volunteer work is something he and his wife can do together in their retirement. “I highly recommend it,” he said. “The kids give me a lot more love than I have ever given them.”

NCH gets new aerial fire truck By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
North College Hill firefighters have started training on the city’s new aerial fire truck, which was delivered ahead of schedule. The $680,000 truck with a 102foot ladder is being paid for with fire equipment fund money, according to City Administrator Jerry Thamann. The fund is made up of revenue
from emergency service run fees, Thamann said. Jeff Kovack said he and the other 27 firefighters will train to use the equipment. He said it likely will be August before the new truck is in service. The truck replaces a 1977 aerial truck that has not been operational since 2005. With a longer ladder, some 20 feet longer, the new truck gives the
department better access to structure fires at both commercial and residential buildings, Kovack said. Thamann said the ladder is different from the old unit in that it doesn’t have the bucket attachment. “It has two nozzle locations on the ladder which can be operated from both the ground and the ladder itself,� Thamann said.

North College Hill firefighters Scott Huston and Kevin Craig get ready to practice operating the new aerial ladder just delivered to the fire department.
Totes lease boosts Cincinnati Mall Cincinnati News Service A new lease at Cincinnati Mall provides a hint of good news for the center plagued in recent years by ownership changes and fleeing retailers. Cincinnati-based Totes Isotoner Corp. has leased 30,000 square feet of space near the mall’s food court and is selling its gloves, hats, slippers, flip-flops and umbrellas at prices no greater than $6. It signed a month-to-month lease for the space and hopes to operate there on weekends only through December. Mall investor and agent Whichard Real Estate, based in Raleigh, N.C., also said Kohl’s Department Store and Burlington Factory Warehouse renewed leases for five more years at the 1.5 million-square-foot mall. Bass Pro Shops still has six years left on its lease. “It will reinforce the mall’s appeal to our regular shopper, but we also expect the name brand and discounted prices to attract many new visitors to the mall,� Kenneth Whichard, of the firm, said.
BUTTELWERTH CONSTRUCTION & STOVES 7620 Daleview Road (Colerain Twp.) (513) 385-5158 www.buttelwerthstoves.com
Georgia-based North Star Realty Group (in which Whichard is an investor) bought Cincinnati Mills LLC in December from Simon Property Group and changed the name to Cincinnati Mall in March. Simon acquired it as part of its purchase of The Mills Corp. in 2007. The mall, which opened as Forest Fair Mall in 1989, sat about 40 percent vacant earlier this year. Whichard’s first priorities have been to stabilize the anchors and attract nontraditional tenants. He’s also listed the buildings that house the anchor stores for sale and has considered selling smaller spaces in the mall as office or retail condominiums. “I can offer it for sale or lease, and my pool is even larger. As long as users bring traffic and life, who cares who owns the different pieces?� Whichard said. The Totes Isotoner Warehouse Clearance Sale store is an example of an alternative use, Whichard said. It’s a one-of-a-kind for the retailer, which typically sells its products wholesale, online and through about
100 stores at outlet malls. This store, strategically located near Totes headquarters and warehouse in Springdale, will allow the company to liquidate builtup inventory. Attractive lease rates helped secure the deal, said Nicki Green, a retail buyer for the firm. “Really, we were getting ready for our fall product to start coming in, and we needed to clear some space,� Green said. “We’re very pleased with the results so far.� Some retail brokers aren’t reassured by the short-term activity at the mall. The leases at Kohl’s and Burlington Coat Factory show that shoppers still visit those locations. But both have exterior signage and entrances from the parking lot, not requiring customers to trek through the mall’s hallways and foyers. “I don’t see it as a trend. In fact, I’m surprised by it,� said Melissa Wilhelm, a retail broker with Grubb & Ellis/West Shell Commercial. Still, it’s a large chunk of space. And the low prices are bound to attract discount shoppers.

NCH top students anxious for future By Katie Hull
khull@communitypress.com
Jordan Kelsey and Melissa Mingie have left North College Hill Junior/Senior High School in their past and are anxious for independence in their future. Kelsey, 18, this year’s valedictorian, is the son of Dan and Annette Kelsey. In addition to serving as the president of the drama team and Thespians, he was also member of student council, band, National Honor Society and the student leadership team. Along with the familiar faces and friends, Friday night football games are something he will miss, said Kelsey. Gayle Clyburn, health teacher and sponsor of the student leadership team at North College Hill, is someone that Kelsey looked up to during his years as a student there. Clyburn taught Kelsey about the significance of volunteering. “It’s important to give back and take a role in your community, because if you won’t, who will,” said Kelsey. In the fall, Kelsey plans to attend Ohio State University and is undecided on what he wants to study. His summer plans involve working and spending time with friends. “I’m just working two jobs and trying to hang out with friends before I leave,” he said. Now that he has completed high school, Kelsey is looking forward to all of the new adventures that come with going off to college. “Just being independent and meeting new people and new

Mingie, also 18, this year’s salutatorian, is the daughter of Richard and Anna Mingie. In high school she was involved in band, the soccer team and ran track for a couple of years.

Melissa Mingie, North College Hill Junior/Senior High School salutatorian, plans to attend Kent State University in the fall to study applied mathematics.
Someone who Mingie looked to as a mentor was Chuck Theado, a math teacher at North College Hill. Mingie said he taught her to get stuff done. In the fall, Mingie plans to attend Kent State University and will be studying applied mathematics. Joining the Air Force and possibly going into cryptology – the study of secret codes or ciphers and the devices used to create and decipher them, according to the Webster’s New World College Dictionary, fourth edition – are two things that Mingie hopes to do in her future sometime down the road, she said. Mingie’s summer has consisted of traveling to places like Indianapolis and New Orleans, but other than that she just plans to spend the months getting ready for college. “I am looking forward to being independent and being able to kind of choose what I want to study and have more control,” said Mingie. Although she will miss the closeness of being at a a small high school and the friends she has made, Mingie is ready to move on to a new chapter and is anticipating what will come next.
The top graduates at Roger Bacon High School had a busy four years. Now Carolyn Williams and Rebekah Tyler are looking forward to more school – college. Williams, this year’s valedictorian, the daughter of Michael and Karen Williams, lives Greenhills. She was a member of the environmental club Planeteers, at Roger Bacon and took part in the drama guild. She was also a Kairos leader which is a senior retreat. Two Roger Bacon teachers Williams said greatly inspired her are Dennis Foust, her teacher from grade six through eight, and Bob VonLuehrte, her religion teacher during her junior and senior year. Foust taught her a lot about religious values, and VonLuehrte taught her to think for herself, said Williams. Her favorite high school memory is the Kairos retreat with the entire senior class. “You get to know all the seniors a lot better than any other activity that you get to know people,” she said. Williams plans to study biology at Xavier University. “(Xavier) was close to home so I could see my family a lot and I just liked the atmosphere,” she said. Williams will be spending her summer as an intern at Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Now having graduated, she is looking forward to college and getting to know new people, but there are some things that she will miss. “Roger Bacon was like a family and I’ll miss walking through the hallways and knowing a lot of

people,” said Williams. Tyler, the salutatorian, is the daughter of Randy and Jan Tyler and lives in Aurora, Ind. In addition to being a member of the marching band at Roger Bacon, Tyler became the president of the band during her senior year. She was a Kairos leader, as well as a senior leader, for which she was paired up with a freshman to help them adjust to the new school. Much of Tyler’s inspiration throughout her education came from her freshman English teacher, Mellen Moors-Dressing. “She just made the year really fun,” said Tyler. “I didn’t have her for any more classes after that, but she was still always there if you wanted to talk to her.” As for things that Tyler will miss, football games are at the top of her list. “Everybody comes out and the students dress up and do the body paint, and everyone just cheers for the team,” she said. Tyler plans to study mechanical engineering at University of Dayton. “I fell in love with the campus when I went up there,” she said. Tyler said she will miss the friendships she has made but at the same time is looking forward to meeting new people at a new school.

Nurre drafted by hometown team By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
Tommy Nurre got drafted. Again. Nurre, a standout first baseman at St. Xavier High School and Miami University, was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 38th round of the MLB Draft in June; a year ago, he was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the exact same round. “Growing up in Cincinnati, I’ve been going to games my whole life,” Nurre said. “It’s a dream come true.” After being drafted by the Dodgers, Nurre elected to return to Miami for his senior season and enjoyed his finest year as a Redhawk. As a junior, he hit .386 with nine homers; as a senior, he hit .406 with 17 homers and was a first-team all-league selection. “I was hoping he’d go a little higher this year, just because of his batting average and home runs,” said Tom, Nurre’s father. “We were a little disappointed but still very proud.” Nurre, too, hoped to be taken sooner. “It was a bit of a disappointment,” he said. “You hear you’ll
be drafted anywhere from (round) 14 to 25, but it’s one of those things you can’t control. You just have to sit back and wait.” So he did. Nurre sat at home with his mother, Karen, and listened to the draft on the radio. “It was kind of fun just lounging around the house,” said Nurre, who was more than happy to hear his name called. “It was a big sigh of relief because you just never know. It took the monkey off my back.” Nurre called his father to tell him the good news. “I was at work when I found out,” said Tom, who sells real estate. “I was very excited. He’d gone to a Reds game a few nights earlier, and he was ecstatic.” Nurre, who signed a contract with the Reds June 19, currently plays for the Billings Mustangs in the Pioneer League in Montana. While he hoped to have been drafted higher, he is nevertheless eager to prove himself on the field. “I’m still getting the same opportunity as everyone else,” he said. Nurre’s value lies first and foremost in his offensive prowess, but he said improving his defense will
McAuley golfer learns from a pro By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
McAuley High School senior golfer Brittany Zins recently had a chance to play in the Duramed ProAms and was paired with one of the top rising stars of women’s golf, Angela Buzminski of Canada. “It was amazing. I had a blast,” Zins said. “She was a very chilled and relaxed golfer. I watched her play in the actual tournament and she placed sixth out of 144 girls.” Zins, a Colerain Township resident, won the opportunity to play in the event by writing an essay on exhibiting environmental stewardship in the community. “I wrote about how if we didn’t do things to save our environment we might not have golf courses for future generations to enjoy,” Zins said. “I was very honored and excited when mine was picked.” Zins said she wasn’t very involved in the environmental cause before but that she plans to join several environmental groups at McAuley.

situations in terms of realizing what pitchers are trying to do to get me out,” he said. “From a defensive standpoint, I need to make great plays – not just good ones – on a consistent basis.”

“After the first hole it was just like playing with one of my friends,” Zins said. “She’s very helpful when you need it and congratulates you on all of your shots. I wasn’t too intimidated, but I was nervous before hand.” Zins started playing golf during her freshman year at McAuley and has grown to love the game. “My dad was ecstatic when I told him I wanted to play golf because he’s a big golfer but I think it’s a great sport,” she said. “It’s one of the sports you can do no matter what your age is. I think it will be a big part of my life from now on.” Zins is also excited for the upcoming golf season and thinks the McAuley golf team has a lot of great girls. Zins hopes to take what she learned from Buzminski and apply it to her game. “The biggest thing I learned is that you can’t change what you’ve done on the past hole,” she said. “You can’t dwell on it and just have to let it go, which I haven’t been great about. It definitely helped talking to her about that.”

Nurre, who started playing baseball in kindergarten, never assumed he’d make it this far in his baseball career.% “Before I got drafted the first time, I had no expectations at all,” he said. “But once I was drafted, I thought, ‘OK, this is reality. This is really happening.’” Being a local product didn’t necessarily help Nurre’s odds of getting drafted by the Reds, but it certainly didn’t hurt them, either. “He had some good games against (the University of Cincinnati), and some of the Reds’ scouts were there,” Tom said. “They had an opportunity to see him play a lot.” While playing in the big leagues is Nurre’s ultimate goal, he remains grateful to those who have helped him to where he is right now. “The best thing about my parents is that they never pressured me to play any sport,” said Nurre, who also played football for St. X. “My dad was always my coach when I was younger, so it was great to have his guidance and the support of my family. They’ve been a big reason for why I’ve been able to succeed.”

VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Carrier recognition
I am writing about the carriers, the Fronk boys, who have served our family for the past six to eight years. The first was Andrew, who delivered the paper for several years before graduating and, I believe, going to college. Taking over for him then and until now is his younger brother, Nate. Both of these boys have without exception been reliable, polite and conscientious as they go about their duties in all weather, promptly and accurately doing their jobs. They have always been patient when they do their collections and if they find no one home, they are organized and leave a reminder giving the amount owed and when they will return, and ambitious in returning if necessary. I regret not having written several years ago to acknowledge Andrew; I want to be sure not to be remiss and also not make a request for recognition for Nate. While I do not know the family, from the sons they have raised, they surely have done a wonderful job of raising responsible and respectful boys, qualities that need to be appreciated and publicly recognized. For these reasons and others I could include, I am hoping to see the smiling face of Nate Fronk as front page news in the Hilltop Press very soon. J.G. Hite Acreview Drive Springfield Township
“My first thoughts were that I prayed that he was going to be able to get off and that we would not truly have a man on the moon as we used to say as little kids. We waste so much money on other programs I cannot see why we should not continue with the moon program.” L.S. “I remember this being an almost religious experience. All over the world, people were glued to their TV’s just as we were. However, I think space dollars would be better spent on a replacement for the Shuttle than returning to the moon at this point in time. Later on, yes, we should go back.” D.H. “I was 12 and it was a big deal. Everyone watched it on TV. It was the first year we had color TV. I don’t see the advantage in going back. If we’re going to spend the money, maybe we should go

Thanks for neighbors
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my friends and neighbors who helped me and my family clean up the chaos that happened when a large tree next door to me split and a third of tree fell in our yards, blocking driveways and sidewalks. I could never have done this by myself. I really appreciate these efforts. Then, the following day, one of the neighbors put it all in two trucks and cleared it up for me. I could never thank all these people one-to-one, so I am expressing a thank you to all who helped us. Nancy Reusch Clovernook Avenue Mount Healthy

Winton Woods City Schools honored the Assistance League of Greater Cincinnati at a recent board of education meeting. The Assistance League supports Operation School Bell, a program that provides clothes, shoes and hygiene items to children in need. This year, they provided 60 students with a duffle bag containing two pairs of pants, two long-sleeved shirts, one short-sleeved shirt, new shoes, a belt, underwear, socks, a hygiene kit and a fleece jacket. Each bag cost about $67. The league also donated 11 extra belts, 14 extra pairs of pants in larger sizes, 50 extra shirts and 27 packages of underwear. Pictured from the Assistance League of Greater Cincinnati are Carolyn Lamping, public relations; Diana Haskell, vice president of strategic planning and president-elect; and member Mary King; and Operation School Bell co-chairwomen Jeanne Waggoner and Nancy Virgulak.

“I remember the night they walked on the moon very well. I was 13, I was sick and they gave me penicillin, which I was allergic to (we didn’t know that then). While I watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon, I was scratching my arms and legs like crazy from the allergy. I believe we have returned to the moon several more times after that. The moon didn’t appear to easily support life, so I don’t think going back there is a sound financial move at this time. We should explore improvements in farming, food supplies, water supplies, and living conditions in our country as well as worldwide.” C.D.
What do you call a small city that cuts its police department’s annual budget by $200,000 and requires its chief to put off replacing personnel that left early in the year until at least the fourth quarter? North College Hill. What do you call a small city whose fire department is one of only three remaining in the area without a paramedic unit, that frequently cannot fully staff its four-employee shifts, and the only one that lacks even a single full-time employee? North College Hill. What do you call a small city that passed a city charter in 2007 that calls for the hiring of both a finance director and recreation director and now, in 2009, still claims not to have the funds for either? North College Hill. What do you call a city that purchased a building early this decade for the purpose of housing its administration, postal station, tax, building, and finance departments and also for providing council chambers with a larger home but still hasn’t accomplished all that for its people seven years later? North College Hill. In spite of all the above, this same city has painted itself into a proverbial corner by passing a
land swap deal with the NCH School District that will soon necessitate the spending of $400,000 to $500,000 to build a new Public Works Department facility to replace one that Nick A. Link is certainly not perfect by any Community stretch of the Press guest imagination but columnist which is serving the city well. The estimated amount listed above includes the demolition of the school district’s central office, a portion of Clovernook School, the paving of the demolished areas to accommodate heavy equipment, and the reconstruction of the wall at the demolished end of the school. All this and the city still has a few years left on the payoff of its $1,000,000 loan (bond sale) that included the earlier purchase described in number 4, above. Worse still is the fact that the city intends to convert the school into a recreation center but they admittedly don’t yet know when and how they will be able to do that nor do they have plans for
funding the programs, personnel, equipment, materials, utilities, repairs, maintenance, and supplies needed to make such a facility attractive enough to interest their “targeted” patrons. While our enlightened school district finds a way to have the state fund nearly two-thirds of its massive building project and has every detail planned and in place down to the last drinking fountain, our city leaders are mismanaging us into oblivion. With kudos to Councilman James Dewald (who voted no on the suspension of readings of the ordinance and no on the land swap ordinance as well), I urge citizens of North College Hill to elect six more council members and a president of council next November who will strive to provide our citizens with at least basic services and not mortgage away the present and near future in favor of pipe dreams that lack both planning and funding. Nick A. Link lives on Meis Avenue. He is a former NCH city councilman, auditor, and clerk of council who now coordinates the PAC, Change NCH.
Early childhood investment wise strategy worth funding At this very moment, legislators in Columbus are making difficult choices about what programs will receive the limited dollars available in the State budget. If there ever were a time when we have needed wise leadership, it is now. We must encourage legislators to support programs that are proven to work and save public tax dollars, and we must call upon social services to deliver programs that are accountable.
One of those programs is Help Me Grow and Every Child Succeeds is one of many organizations that helps to implement this program in southwest Ohio. Help Me Grow is a home visitation program that provides support for at risk, first-time mothers. Home visitation programs like Every Child Succeeds deliver quantifiable outcomes for mothers, babies, and communities to
help children develop prenatally through the first years of life. This early investment helps avoid the need for costly services for these children in the future, helps mothers find and keep their jobs, and helps them get the child-care they need so they don’t lose their jobs. Unfortunately, funding for Help Me Grow is under attack in Columbus and that puts children and families in Ohio at risk.
An improved system for Ohio’s children – a system that is evidencebased, effective and targeted to those most at risk is critical to moving our state forward. Judy Van Ginkel is president of Every Child Succeeds.

From veterinary care to timely vaccinations—and clean and comfortable living conditions to plenty of fresh food and water—healthy, well-cared-for flocks and herds are essential to livestock farming. That’s why it comes as no surprise that Ohio livestock farmers go above and beyond to make sure their animals receive the best possible care.
For an Ohio livestock farmer,
taking animal care seriously just makes sense.
For Ohio livestock farmers, caring for animals is not just a job…
it’s a way of life.

Mindy likes containers big and small.
Kind heart leads cats to new homes Nancy Shyrock’s cat Mindy came to her in a roundabout way, as some pets do. Shyrock’s friend Deb Lohr is an avowed cat lover and she noticed a gray cat meowing and rubbing against her legs as she visited with a mutual friend, Barb Linder. No one seemed to know whose cat is was, and Lohr figured it probably wouldn’t be that friendly unless it was hungry or thirsty. So the kind-hearted Lohr took the stray home and fed it. She said it ate and drank like it had never seen food before. But Grace, as the cat was named, had a secret. Soon afterward, Lohr realized the cat was actually pregnant, but it had been so thin, she couldn’t tell at first. To cut to the chase, Lohr’s brother and sister-in-
law kept ‘Grace’ until the cat delivered. “She had two gorgeous orange males, and one cute female calico,” Shyrock said. “I adopted the calico and named her Mindy – she just looked like a Mindy to me!” The two males went to the vet to be adopted, and Deb’s brother and sister-inlaw decided to keep Grace, because she was so calm and sweet, Shyrock said. “We are having an absolute blast with Mindy,” she added. “She is very curious and playful. What a joy! She was born in a basket, and ever since then, she has climbed into every container she can. I think it feels like home.” If you would like to share about your pet, please send information and a photo to memral@communitypress.com

Death has no favorites – even celebrities die A lot of famous people have died recently and that bothers us. It bothers us because the fact of death bothers us terribly. In every life death anxiety is operative in great and small ways. Leavings and losings are not on our agenda. And the second reason we’re bothered over these recent deaths is because they have shattered our suppositions. We suppose that if a person has prestige, wealth, celebrity and popularity that those facts bring with them a certain degree of immortality. We suppose important people (presuming they are) have a charmed life and are too important to lose. Death is supposed to show them the same favoritism we do and back off. How unsettled we are when we
become aware that death plays no favorites. The day of our death is always thought of as far off. The day we come to know we will eventually die – not know it merely in our minds but realize it in our hearts – that day is the day we become a philosopher. Thereafter we pose momentous questions to ourselves and it takes the rest of our lives to answer them. It’s a sad occurrence when favored people never even let themselves get to the questions. Among the questions that arise are ones such as: How should I live knowing I will die some day? Why love anyone at all if they can be taken away from me, and I from them? Is it better to be cautious and avoid the risk of great love for someone in order to be safe from
the heartache of grief? Is there more life after this world’s life that is even more desirable, or is there only disinand Father Lou tegration dry nothingGuntzelman ness? Is there a God Perspectives who created me, loves me, and keeps me alive eternally? The alternative to struggling with questions such as these is to employ certain defenses against the questions ever arising. Hedonism says we can become impervious to death anxiety if we “eat, drink, and be merry.” Denial says, “Just don’t think about it and keep busy.” Agnostic practicality asks,
“Why try to live life wholeheartedly if it will all end?” Ernest Becker acknowledges this strange way of thinking: “The irony of man’s condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we shrink from being fully alive.” Will it help us diminish death anxiety if we draw back from life, from deeply loving, from compassion and enjoyment and closeness to another person? The answer - like so many other answers – is another of life’s paradoxes. Knowing death will come for us some day is the very factor that makes it possible for us to live life now in an authentic fashion. For what is limited is precious, what is plentiful becomes cheap. Knowing our years are limited
urges us to appreciate their preciousness. Death – rather being only a cause of bleak pessimism – ought to be a catalyst to enjoy authentic life modes now. Poet Mary Oliver puts it well: When it’s over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom taking the world into my arms. … I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Use cash instead of debit to avoid overdraft charges not fair. “This was for a total of a negative $5.90, and they are charging me, Howard Ain with one Hey Howard! fee that w a s already taken off, $104 – for $5.90. I was just dumbfounded,” Felts said. Felts’ bank had agreed to drop one charge, but not the other two. “It’s a negative $5.90, from what they’re telling me
because, if you look at the statement, it shows I have money the whole time – it never went negative. But they keep saying, ‘It’s for pending. It’s for pending,’ ” she said. The “pending” charges are for two debit card purchases of less than $5 each. “We budget our biweekly checks to the penny so $104, that’s our grocery money, that’s our gas in our car. It’s devastating. I was literally begging these people to give me my money back,” Felts said. After several calls the bank agreed to return the
fees, but Felts said what happened is wrong. “The punishment should fit the crime. If there’s a negative $5.90 balance, $104 is absurd, it’s absolutely ridiculous … It’s not right. It can take months for families to recoup these losses,” Felts said. “I’m a family of five, every penny counts, and they’re just taking it like, ‘Oh, it’s no big deal,’ ” she said. As with others I’ve seen in this situation, most of the overdraft fees are caused by the use of a debit card. Instead of putting those
small charges on her debit card she could have paid cash, and Felts says she’s now learned her lesson. “Use cash. People need to start using cash more often,” she said. Felts said the government is enacting new credit card laws and should reevaluate what the banks are doing. The Federal Reserve is now deciding whether to crack down on automatic overdraft protection. A rule is expected later this year that would prevent banks from manipulating the order of checks and deb-
its so they maximize overdraft fees. Meanwhile, Congress is also listening to consumers and a proposal there would require banks to tell customers when they are at risk of incurring overdraft fees at an ATM machine or cash register so they can cancel the transaction.

The nation’s banks continue to raise fees on everything from credit cards to checking accounts. Banks say they need the money to make up for losses they incur during this recession. But customers and consumer groups are crying foul. Banks have come under much criticism for making it easy for customers to spend more money than they have in their account so they can assess overdraft fees. People like Bridget Felts of Milford are furious. She received three overdraft charges recently and said it’s

Kids with egg, dairy allergy can still eat cake One of the most fun things about writing this column is the feedback I get from you. No matter where I am, whether it’s the grocery store, Macy’s, teaching a class or speaking to a group, someone comes up and mentions my column. I have Rita a l w a y s Heikenfeld b e l i e v e d Rita’s kitchen t h a t ’ s because this column isn’t just about food: it’s a “place� where we gather each week and share recipes, memories, tips, opinions. A good example of this is Michelle Smith, a New Richmond reader, who requested an eggless cake for son Ethan’s 4th birthday. Clermont County reader Annie Hoffman, a cottage baker, came to the rescue. The bonus is the cake is dairy-free, too.
Annie’s dairy-free, eggless chocolate cake
Annie says, “The kids will love this cake.� Will make 26 cupcakes, a 9-by-13 pan, a 12-by-9 pan or even an 8-by-8 pan. Annie likes to use a 12by-9 pan or 8-by-8 square for thicker cake. Just adjust the baking time: 18 to 20 minutes for cupcakes; start testing cakes about 25 minutes. When toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, it’s done. Don’t overbake. Temperature: 350 degrees for all. 3 cups all purpose flour 2 cups sugar 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 ⠄3 cup Canola (she uses Kroger) oil 2 cups water 2 tablespoons white/ clear vinegar 2 teaspoons vanilla Combine dry ingredients in one bowl. Combine wet
ingredients together in one bowl. Mix both together and beat until smooth. Pour into sprayed pan. Annie says cupcakes won’t be very tall but will be very moist.
Dairy-free fluffy frosting
Use vegetable shortening, not Crisco or any shortening that’s non-hydrogenated (Annie says it slides off the cake due to formula change to make it non-hydrogenated – it’s OK for cupcakes but will slide off sides of cake), so use Kroger or other store, generic brand that says vegetable shortening/hydrogenated. See my tip below. Use any flavor extract you like. 1 ⠄2 cup vegetable shortening 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted 5 tablespoons water 1 ⠄2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 ⠄2 teaspoon almond extract (opt.) 1 ⠄4 teaspoon butter flavoring (Wilton brand since it’s a clear color) – opt.
Put everything in bowl. Mix on low to incorporate. Scrape, then turn on medium for eight minutes. This will incorporate air so don’t skip this step – otherwise you’ll wind up with sugary, not fluffy, frosting. Makes 4 cups. Refrigerates up to six weeks – bring to room temp and rewhip on low. Chocolate: Start adding cocoa powder to taste, and, if necessary, a bit more water. “Makes the fudgiest frosting.�
On the Web
For another good eggless recipe plus tips on making a box cake eggless/dairy-free, log onto my Web version of this column at www.communitypress.com or call 513-591-6163 and leave your name and address.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
Trouble with shortening: If you’ve experienced trouble with recipes using non-hydrogenated shortening (that makes it healthier), switch back to
hydrogenated. Seems like most trouble is with pie crusts/frostings. I know, I know, hydrogenated shortening is not as healthy as non-hydrogenated but really, it’s not something any of us eat on a daily basis. Annie and I agree you should use what makes your recipes taste and look great. Otherwise, you’re wasting money, time and compromising flavor and appearance.
Like Famous Recipe’s slaw
For Mrs. Whitmer and several others. Go to taste on vinegar, sugar, lemon juice. 1
â „3 cup sugar â „2 teaspoon salt 1 â „8 teaspoon pepper 1 â „4 cup milk 1 â „2 cup mayonnaise 1 â „4 cup buttermilk 11â „2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar 21â „2 tablespoons lemon juice 8 cups finely 1
chopped cabbage 1 â „4 cup grated carrots Whisk together sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayo, buttermilk, vinegar and juice until smooth. Add cabbage and carrots and mix well. Refrigerate at least two hours before serving.
Rooting out recipes
• Anderson Township’s Pelican Reef’s slaw • Precinct’s Mac & Cheese I should know soon if the restaurants can share.
Recipe clairfication
Dreamsicle cake: Some readers are confused as to the Kool-Aid called for in the recipe. It’s 1/4 teaspoon and yes, it’'s dry.

Art show to feature new original Charley Harper paintings By Caitlin Varley cvarley@communitypress.com
Although artist Charley Harper died two years ago fans will have the chance to see 50 unseen original Harper paintings. Charley’s son, Brett Harper of Finneytown, said the paintings were found by Ford Motor Co. Harper had been commissioned to paint them for the Ford Times
magazine. “We all believed that they were gone forever,” Harper said. The paintings will be shown through Aug. 8 at Fabulous Frames and Art in Montgomery. Harper will be at the opening July 11 to answer questions. Ken Carl, owner of Fabulous Frames and Art, said they are ecstatic about hosting the show.
“It’s quite an honor, really, to be displaying these for the first time,” Carl said. Fabulous Frames and Art is the largest Charley Harper dealer in the world. Carl said it took 35 years to get to that point. Carl said the new originals are similar to Harper’s other work, but it is a larger breadth that goes beyond wildlife. “Once you appreciate
Charley’s understanding of nature, then they all become so interesting,” Carl said. Carl said the pieces are kind of an anomaly because most people do not know much about them or why they were created. Some of them were made into prints after they appeared in the magazine, while others have only been seen in the magazine decades ago.

The 50 Charley Harper originals include fish, birds, travel, terrestrial animals and scenic attractions.
Stevia a sweet way to get into herb gardening with your doctor first). And what’s even greater is that it can be grown in your own back yard – especially in containers! Stevia is a tender perennial, and is not hardy past Zone 7. So plant it as an annual (actually planted as an annual in warmer zones as well). It will grow in the ground or in containers, morning sun/afternoon shade to full sun, and actually enjoys cooler weather. Definitely not the hot weather.
Growing herbs can be a pleasure for all your senses. And if you’re looking for an herb to help pleasure your sweet tooth, an herb that has no carbs and no calories, then I’ve got what you need! It’s called stevia, or commonly called “sweet leaf” or “sugar bush,” and has been used as a natural sweetener for hundreds of years. The leaves of stevia are refreshing and can be 30 times or more sweeter than sugar (extracts hundreds times sweeter), with 0 carbs, 0 calories, and 0 glycemic index, making it the perfect natural sweetener to be considered for diabetics (check

susceptible to wind breakage. Use the pinched leaves “fresh.” Stevia is susceptible to wind breakage, so try to find a more calm area to grow, or possibly place inside a tomato cage for support. Harvest your leaves fresh as needed (morning is best), or harvest leaves or 4-6 inch branches with leaves for air drying. The entire plant can be pulled and air dried at the end of the season, or if growing in a container, moved inside and grown indoors over the winter.

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland
There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.

long feeding. Feed monthly with PlantTone or something similar. Place the pot in half day or more sun, in a low wind area, and keep the soil evenly moist. Stevia does not like to be totally dried out for any period of time (and does not like soggy wet – just good, even moisture). In the heat of the summer, you may want to move the plant to a cooler half day sun location.

Fabulous floors
Freshening floors doesn’t have to be an expensive or time-consuming task. Carpets will benefit from a simple deep cleaning – something you should be doing seasonally anyway to preserve their beauty and extend their usable lives. For tile, stone or hardwoods, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning and maintenance and make the process part of your seasonal cleaning routine. Another great way to dress up floors, either indoors or out, is to add a splash of color with an area rug.
No wall flowers
Walls are the largest space element in your room decor, and brightening them for the season can be as easy as switching out the artwork or adding a fresh coat of paint. Start with a neutral wall

tributes to how your home looks and feels, and the light entering from outdoors changes with the season and time of day. With longer days and more sun in summer, you may find you need synthetic light less for visibility and more for ambiance. Summer is a great time to add dimmers to a dining room or bedroom, add an eye-catching overhead fixture, or give bright lights a break in favor of subtly placed table or floor lamps.

Summer is also a great time to add a decorative mirror, since drapes and windows are often open to welcome in the sunlight and bright sky. Adding a mirror on the wall opposite a window is a great way to reflect sunlight throughout the room and make a small space appear more expansive.

Specializing in the Healing of Vascular, Venous, Diabetic, Surgical, Pressure and Complex Wounds
riple Creek Retirement Community, in Colerain Township, is a newly constructed continuing care retirement community featuring skilled nursing and assisted living services in a Town Square model health care facility. The Town Square design allows residents to maximize their independence, while creating a more home-like, less institutional atmosphere. It features a predominance of private rooms and has living areas designed as a neighborhood, creating a sense of community for each resident. There are also 28 independent living villas placed around the campus allowing a full continuum of senior living options for residents – from those who need little assistance to those with
very complex medical needs. The campus also features flexibility and choice in resident food selection. Open breakfast is served
that their favorite family recipes be included in the campuses’ menus. Caregivers at Triple Creek have a consistent assignment of several res-
“Residents make their meal selections from a menu of alternatives prepared by executive chefs, and meals are served on china …” from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. daily, and a complimentary monthly Sunday Brunch is offered for residents and their families. Bread and hamburger buns are made fresh daily. Residents make their meal selections from a menu of alternatives prepared by executive chefs, and meals are served on china from steam tables that are set up in the campuses’ dining rooms. Residents can also request
idents. The caregiver is responsible for providing primary care, light housekeeping, as well as socialization for the residents in their “neighborhood.” This approach creates a partnership in care between the caregiver and resident in a setting that respects and honors the requests of the residents.

In choosing the right retirement community for your loved one, be sure to check all the options
S
electing a senior community for a parent or loved one can be an overwhelming task. There are a wide variety of choices and it’s best to spend some time understanding your options before making a choice. Your first step should be to learn the terminology. The types of services and acronyms in retirement communities are often confusing to consumers. It helps make your decision-making process easier if you understand the terms used by industry professionals before you head out. Refer to the www.icargiver.org Web site to learn all of the industry vocabulary. Next, do some research on what type of facility you will want to tour. Are you looking for full nursing care or assisted living? Or are you looking for independent living with the option for more care in the future?
Once you have narrowed these options, it’s time to take the tour. To get started, call the marketing office and schedule a time to meet with a community representative. Try to arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled tour time so that you are able to observe what is going on before your guided tour. Be prepared to take notes and ask plenty of questions. Once the tour is complete, ask to sit down with the marketing representative to go over your questions that were not addressed during the tour.

facilities and services for the aging within the triState area which allows those we serve to thrive in a safe, stimulating, and dignified environment,” says Community Director Becky Schulte. According to Schulte it is important to provide a variety of living options to older adults because everyone has different likes and dislikes. “We believe that you should make this move and change your address, not your lifestyle,” she says. “We want to offer all the facilities, amenities and services to make this time in life the easiest and most fun possible.” Joan Reckseit who has lived in the newly-built Kensington Place, Maple Knoll’s new deluxe apartment complex, since last October, says moving was one of the best decisions she has made. “There are a number of things that I enjoy here,” she says. “They have a large variety of activities (on and off campus), enough to suit anyone’s pace.” She loves the opportunity to meet new people too. “I still have my old friends and I’ve made many new friends,” she says. “I enjoy my new friends. The people here are very friendly and easy to get to know.” She also loves her apartment – the “grand” view of a pond; the floor plan she picked herself; and the location.

Redefining the nursing home experience
A
sk someone what comes to mind when they think of a traditional nursing home and descriptions like “institutional, impersonal, and hospital-like,” are often mentioned. In the past there were no alternative models available for people in Cincinnati, but that has now changed dramatically. Imagine a nursing home where you feel like you are at home and not in a home; where you are on your own schedule just like you’ve always been. Where maintaining dignity is among the highest priorities and the skilled nursing care and therapy are second to none. Imagine a nursing home that doesn’t look or feel like one. Where there are no nurses’ stations or medicine carts, but rather a hearth room, open kitchen, den, and “spa.” If that sounds like the nursing home of the future, it is and there is one opening this summer right here in Cincinnati. Nestled off Erie Avenue on the Deupree House retirement community campus close to Hyde Park are The Deupree Cottages, which were just built on two
acres of land. It is a “person-centered care” facility for seniors that takes an entirely different approach to care-giving for elders. “‘Person-centered care’ is both a state of mind and a statement of design,” explains Laura Lamb, vice president of residential housing and health care for Episcopal Retirement Homes. “It’s a philosophical approach to retirement community care that honors and respects the voice of elders and those working closest with them. It involves a continuing process of listening, trying new things, seeing how they
Fact about the Deupree Cottages • Located at 3999 Erie Ave. in Oakley, Deupree Cottages sit on 2.1 acres that border the popular Deupree House retirement community. • Deupree Cottages are made up of two households, each home to 12 seniors. Each cottage includes two suites, perfect for couples or for individuals preferring more personal space. • Services and capabilities include 24-hour supportive care; skilled nursing services, including short-term rehabilitation and long-term care, and physical, occupational, and

speech therapy; a chaplaincy program; and wellness initiatives, including access to a heated, indoor therapy pool and fitness equipment at Deupree House. • Owned and operated by Episcopal Retirement Homes which for more than 50 years has been a not-for-profit, financially sound organization dedicated to improving the lives of older adults through innovative, quality living environments and older adult services delivered by highly experienced and deeply committed professionals.

There’s a front door with a doorbell, and the windows actually open. The cottages will serve two separate households with 10 bedrooms and two suites, each with its own bathroom. “I don’t define your purpose, and you don’t define mine,” Lamb says of the Deupree Cottages’ philosophy. She hastens to add that residents will dictate the rhythm of life and it’s they who will pursue what’s meaningful to them, choosing from a blank canvas of possibilities. Whether it’s involvement in work, and changing things in an an organization, practicing a effort to individualize care and hobby or spending time with a de-institutionalize the environfamily member, it’s the senior ment. “We’re extremely excited about who will choose.

Pools,hot tubs – a fun way to stay fit
S
wimming pools and hot tubs are just plain fun, but many people overlook the health benefits. Just about anyone, regardless of age or physical condition, can gain health benefits from swimming. Swimming as a regular form of exercise can cut males’ risk of death by 50 percent as compared to runners, walkers and those with a sedentary lifestyle, according to a recent study by Dr. Steven N. Blair of the Arnold School for Public Health at the University of South Carolina. Blair found similar health and fit-
ness benefits in an earlier study for women as well. Regular laps in the pool can help tone the muscles in your entire body, lower blood pressure, increase circulation and raise metabolism and endurance. Because humans weigh less in the water, people who can’t participate in other forms of exercise because of injuries or excess weight can swim safely. And swimming is a fun and interesting workout that keeps people coming back for more. And, after a long session in the pool, or a long day at work,

what could be better than time spent relaxing in a hot tub? The steamy, swirling waters of a hot tub provide a great place to loosen up and even to socialize, but can also lower your blood pressure and decrease joint pain and swelling. Additionally, the combination of heat, buoyancy and massage in a hot tub can provide therapeutic benefits for those with arthritis, diabetes, insomnia and more. A recent study supervised by the Foundation for Physical Therapy and funded in part by
Communitypress.com
the Hot Tub Council of the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals found significant recuperative benefits for knee replacement patients who performed their physical therapy in warm water. When you make an investment in a home pool or hot tub, you’re not only potentially increasing the value of your home and making your house the most popular on the block, you’re increasing the length and quality of your life.

Fabulous floors
Freshening floors doesn’t have to be an expensive or time-consuming task. Carpets will benefit from a simple deep cleaning – something you should be doing seasonally anyway to preserve their beauty and extend their usable lives. For tile, stone or hardwoods, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning and maintenance and make the process part of your seasonal cleaning routine. Another great way to dress up floors, either indoors or out, is to add a splash of color with an area rug.
No wall flowers
Walls are the largest space element in your room decor, and brightening them for the season can be as easy as switching out the artwork or adding a fresh coat of paint. Start with a neutral wall

tributes to how your home looks and feels, and the light entering from outdoors changes with the season and time of day. With longer days and more sun in summer, you may find you need synthetic light less for visibility and more for ambiance. Summer is a great time to add dimmers to a dining room or bedroom, add an eye-catching overhead fixture, or give bright lights a break in favor of subtly placed table or floor lamps.
Outdoor lifestyle
Don’t forget that the same design principles you use to create a wonderful indoor environment can apply outdoors as well. Update your outdoor spaces with area rugs designed for beauty and durability. Add accent lighting such as energy-efficient solar lights to set the mood for evening and night gatherings. Courtesy of ARAcontent

shade and add color with wall art that fits your mood, taste and the season for which you’re decorating. Summer is also a great time to add a decorative mirror, since drapes and windows are often open to welcome in the sunlight and bright sky. Adding a mirror on the wall opposite a window is a great way to reflect sunlight throughout the room and make a small space appear more expansive.

In choosing the right retirement community for your loved one, be sure to check all the options
S
electing a senior community for a parent or loved one can be an overwhelming task. There are a wide variety of choices and it’s best to spend some time understanding your options before making a choice. Your first step should be to learn the terminology. The types of services and acronyms in retirement communities are often confusing to consumers. It helps make your decision-making process easier if you understand the terms used by industry professionals before you head out. Refer to the www.icargiver.org Web site to learn all of the industry vocabulary. Next, do some research on what type of facility you will want to tour. Are you looking for full nursing care or assisted living? Or are you looking for independent living with the option for more care in the future?
Once you have narrowed these options, it’s time to take the tour. To get started, call the marketing office and schedule a time to meet with a community representative. Try to arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled tour time so that you are able to observe what is going on before your guided tour. Be prepared to take notes and ask plenty of questions. Once the tour is complete, ask to sit down with the marketing representative to go over your questions that were not addressed during the tour.

facilities and services for the aging within the triState area which allows those we serve to thrive in a safe, stimulating, and dignified environment,” says Community Director Becky Schulte. According to Schulte it is important to provide a variety of living options to older adults because everyone has different likes and dislikes. “We believe that you should make this move and change your address, not your lifestyle,” she says. “We want to offer all the facilities, amenities and services to make this time in life the easiest and most fun possible.” Joan Reckseit who has lived in the newly-built Kensington Place, Maple Knoll’s new deluxe apartment complex, since last October, says moving was one of the best decisions she has made. “There are a number of things that I enjoy here,” she says. “They have a large variety of activities (on and off campus), enough to suit anyone’s pace.” She loves the opportunity to meet new people too. “I still have my old friends and I’ve made many new friends,” she says. “I enjoy my new friends. The people here are very friendly and easy to get to know.” She also loves her apartment – the “grand” view of a pond; the floor plan she picked herself; and the location.

Redefining the nursing home experience
A
sk someone what comes to mind when they think of a traditional nursing home and descriptions like “institutional, impersonal, and hospital-like,” are often mentioned. In the past there were no alternative models available for people in Cincinnati, but that has now changed dramatically. Imagine a nursing home where you feel like you are at home and not in a home; where you are on your own schedule just like you’ve always been. Where maintaining dignity is among the highest priorities and the skilled nursing care and therapy are second to none. Imagine a nursing home that doesn’t look or feel like one. Where there are no nurses’ stations or medicine carts, but rather a hearth room, open kitchen, den, and “spa.” If that sounds like the nursing home of the future, it is and there is one opening this summer right here in Cincinnati. Nestled off Erie Avenue on the Deupree House retirement community campus close to Hyde Park are The Deupree Cottages, which were just built on two
acres of land. It is a “person-centered care” facility for seniors that takes an entirely different approach to care-giving for elders. “‘Person-centered care’ is both a state of mind and a statement of design,” explains Laura Lamb, vice president of residential housing and health care for Episcopal Retirement Homes. “It’s a philosophical approach to retirement community care that honors and respects the voice of elders and those working closest with them. It involves a continuing process of listening, trying new things, seeing how they
Fact about the Deupree Cottages • Located at 3999 Erie Ave. in Oakley, Deupree Cottages sit on 2.1 acres that border the popular Deupree House retirement community. • Deupree Cottages are made up of two households, each home to 12 seniors. Each cottage includes two suites, perfect for couples or for individuals preferring more personal space. • Services and capabilities include 24-hour supportive care; skilled nursing services, including short-term rehabilitation and long-term care, and physical, occupational, and

speech therapy; a chaplaincy program; and wellness initiatives, including access to a heated, indoor therapy pool and fitness equipment at Deupree House. • Owned and operated by Episcopal Retirement Homes which for more than 50 years has been a not-for-profit, financially sound organization dedicated to improving the lives of older adults through innovative, quality living environments and older adult services delivered by highly experienced and deeply committed professionals.

There’s a front door with a doorbell, and the windows actually open. The cottages will serve two separate households with 10 bedrooms and two suites, each with its own bathroom. “I don’t define your purpose, and you don’t define mine,” Lamb says of the Deupree Cottages’ philosophy. She hastens to add that residents will dictate the rhythm of life and it’s they who will pursue what’s meaningful to them, choosing from a blank canvas of possibilities. Whether it’s involvement in work, and changing things in an an organization, practicing a effort to individualize care and hobby or spending time with a de-institutionalize the environfamily member, it’s the senior ment. “We’re extremely excited about who will choose.

Pools,hot tubs – a fun way to stay fit

wimming pools and hot tubs are just plain fun, but many people overlook the health benefits. Just about anyone, regardless of age or physical condition, can gain health benefits from swimming. Swimming as a regular form of exercise can cut males’ risk of death by 50 percent as compared to runners, walkers and those with a sedentary lifestyle, according to a recent study by Dr. Steven N. Blair of the Arnold School for Public Health at the University of South Carolina. Blair found similar health and fit-
ness benefits in an earlier study for women as well. Regular laps in the pool can help tone the muscles in your entire body, lower blood pressure, increase circulation and raise metabolism and endurance. Because humans weigh less in the water, people who can’t participate in other forms of exercise because of injuries or excess weight can swim safely. And swimming is a fun and interesting workout that keeps people coming back for more. And, after a long session in the pool, or a long day at work,

what could be better than time spent relaxing in a hot tub? The steamy, swirling waters of a hot tub provide a great place to loosen up and even to socialize, but can also lower your blood pressure and decrease joint pain and swelling. Additionally, the combination of heat, buoyancy and massage in a hot tub can provide therapeutic benefits for those with arthritis, diabetes, insomnia and more. A recent study supervised by the Foundation for Physical Therapy and funded in part by
Communitypress.com
the Hot Tub Council of the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals found significant recuperative benefits for knee replacement patients who performed their physical therapy in warm water. When you make an investment in a home pool or hot tub, you’re not only potentially increasing the value of your home and making your house the most popular on the block, you’re increasing the length and quality of your life.
