Hosbrook Road study almost done By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com
Sycamore Township is closer to calming traffic on Hosbrook Road. The traffic calming study composed of residents, township officials and representatives from the city of Madeira is near completion. The township will conduct a public meeting in the next few months before decisions are made on which steps to take on Hosbrook. During the hearing, township officials and representatives from Brandstetter Carroll Inc., the engi-
neering company involved with the traffic calming study, will give residents more detail on the construction of sidewalks and other options, Molloy including gateways and landscape islands at intersections along the road. Sycamore Township Administrator Rob Molloy said that the gateways could include a left turn lane at Euclid Avenue.
Ben Brandstetter from the traffic calming study committee said that the island gives the illusion of a restriction along the road which would slow traffic at the intersections. Molloy said the public meeting is being conducted to keep the residents involved. He also said the Board of Trustees may not take the entire study as a whole. “They could take a combination of any of it,”Molloy said. Molloy said a date for the public meeting has not been chosen, but it could be as early as August.
For the 29th year, the Cincinnati Ladies of Charity will be holding its annual “Treasure Mart” for conscientious shoppers and to assist those in need. The sale, held Saturday, July 18, at St. Gertrude Church, features thousands of items at low prices. Proceeds from the event will benefit needy families in the Cincinnati area. Indian Hill resident Marsha Belk, who’s co-chairing the event and whose mother started the fundraiser 29 years ago, said with the economy still struggling, not only will the proceeds of the sale benefit those in need, but there may be more people shopping who need items for their home. “We’ve got a feeling a few more people that will be there shopping who need to be there shopping,” she said.

ators as well as readers. The book, which consists of paintings by local artist Leslie Shiels and anecdotes by William Chatfield, was published by the Indian Hill Historical Society last year. According to Shiels, the project began simply as she painted various scenes in the village. “It just sort of evolved,” she said. The paintings were then collected, and Chatfield’s words were added to increase the historical value. “I think he was the charm and the glue,” Shiels said, adding that working on the book wouldn’t have been half as fun without her “co-conspirator.” Chatfield, who worked with Shiels on a book several years ago that detailed the Camargo Hunt, said writing his anecdotes and historical statements alongside each painting was a lot of fun. He’s looking forward to doing another project with the artist soon, though there are no plans in place. Chatfield said he’s still approached by those who have bought the book to tell him how much they enjoyed it. “A week doesn’t go by when people don’t stop me and tell me they’ve read it and enjoyed it,” he said.

debris on village property near her home. Village resident Suzi Hackett said she recently noticed two suspicious-looking pick-up trucks near her home carrying tree debris. Shortly after the trucks relocated, she said they drove past her house without the brush. When she flagged them down to ask where it went, they told her they dumped at a friend’s house. “It was pretty clear they were lying to me,” Hackett said. Hackett said when she walked back toward the bridal trails near her home, she discovered the tree debris and reported the incident to the Indian Hill Rangers. The two loads of brush contained ash trees, which shouldn’t be moved to other communities due to the possible infestation of the emerald ash borer, which kills ash trees. With so much greenspace in the village, and the likely high number of ash trees, the insect could do serious damage to village green areas. Indian Hill Ranger Col. Chuck Schlie said this type of infraction actually occurs less than expected, considering the vast green areas throughout Indian Hill. “We look at it as a onetime thing, hopefully,” he said. However, he said the issue with the emerald ash borer is a serious concern, and he’s advised the rangers to keep an eye out for people dumping brush on village property. Schlie noted that despite the large green area in the village, there are only a few places someone could dump brush without likely being spotted by a resident or someone driving by.

Local boys compete in derby Community Press Staff Report
FORREST SELLERS/STAFF
Indian Hill High School art instructor Mary Golubieski stands with a memory box she built in her woodworking class. During the summer, Golubieski is taking workshops through the CraftSummer program at Miami University.
On June 28, three local boys learned the virtues of gravity and how to fight against friction as they skillfully piloted their handbuilt race cars down the Central Avenue hill, between Forth Street and Pete Rose Way in downtown Cincinnati. Nathan Beck, Symmes Township, R.J. Dein, Indian Hill and Cole Dein, Indian Hill competed against more than 40 other children in the 2009 Cincinnati Soap Box Derby. Cole Dein, a thirdgrader at Indian Hill Elementary School, finished in 18th place. Nathan Beck, a sixth-grader at
Indian Hill Middle School, finished in 13th place, and R.J. Dein, a sixth-grader at Indian Hill Middle School, finished in third-place – his first Cincinnati Derby. All three boys chose the theme of “School & Community” for their cars by proudly displaying the Indian Hill School name and logos. Beck also included a large Symmes Township logo on both sides of his race car. After a 28-year hiatus, the Cincinnati Soap Box Derby returned for the fourth consecutive year. The Soap Box Derby is a youth racing program which has been run in the United States since 1934.
Summers an artful experience for teacher By Forrest Sellers
fsellers@communitypress.com
During the summer Indian Hill High School art instructor Mary Golubieski gets to feel like a student. Since 1990 Golubieski has taken art and craft workshops through the CraftSummer program at Miami University. She has taken 34 different classes, she said. “I’m there every year,” she said. She said many of the principles
she learns in areas such as engraving, woodworking and welding are incorporated into her lessons at Indian Hill High School. Golubieski joked she probably wouldn’t be able to bring pneumatic tools that she uses in her CraftSummer woodworking class to Indian Hill, but she said she can still bring back some of the techniques. “The (lesson) is always translated to the kids,” she said. “They are excited by what I learn.” She said one of her most chal-
lenging classes was engraving. “It’s intense cutting copper with sharp instruments,” she said. “How do I get it to look like (I want) and translate the idea. The students deal with (that) as well.” Golubieski, who lives in Montgomery, has taught at Indian Hill High School for 20 years. She said the CraftSummer workshops aren’t just an educational experience, but they are fun. “This is how I spend my summer vacation,” she said. “I live for this.”

Age divisions for both boys and girls included events for 8-and-under, 9-10 year olds, 11-12 year olds, 13-14 year olds and 15-18 year olds. Below is a list of the locals managing to capture league titles with first-place finishes: 1, Indian Hill Swim Club, 2,377; 2, Miami Hills Swim Club, 2,300.50; 3, Terrace Park Swim Club, 2,132; 4, Forest Hills Swim Club, 1,840.50; 5, Turpin Hills Swim Club, 1,835.50; 6, Normandy Swim Club, 1,121.50.
Indian Hill Swim Club captured its fourth-consecutive team title at the 2009 Seven Hills League Swim Championships. Hundreds of children ages 618 competed in the event with groupings separated into five divisions for both boys and girls. After 78 events, Indian Hill took first place with 2,377 points to eclipse Milford’s Miami Hills Swim Club’s second-place total of 2,300.50. Petra Vester, a parent of three Indian Hill swimmers and the coordinator of the swimming championship, was extremely satisfied with the event, she said. “It’s very family oriented and a great environment for the kids,” Vester said of the Seven Hills League. “They are so excited to get their ribbons after the races. They are just so proud. “It’s an intense sport but they come here and they shine,” Vester added. Indian Hill took first place in a

For a pair of aquatic sports which often fly under the radar, Miami Hills Swim Club pool manager Andy Wilson was quick to explain how important the developmental league is. “It’s not as popular as football and basketball so these programs are huge (for development),” Wilson said. “It’s a great way to keep kids in the water and they learn to be part of a team.” Petra’s oldest daughter, Hannah Vester, is proof positive the developmental league is serving its purpose.

Indian Hill hires new basketball coach Sign up for Metro softball tournament by July 19 “ I love the situation I’m in and I’m blessed to be in that situation.” By Mark Chalifoux

Indian Hill High School had a tough task in replacing CHL boys basketball coach of the year David Moss, but the Braves have their coach and they stayed within the program to find him. Indian Hill hired freshman coach Tim Burch to take over the varsity program. “Once again we had really good people interview and a great committee process and four great finalists,” Indian Hill Athletic Director Jill Bruder said. “We’re really happy with where we’ve landed. “The program has moved quickly over three years in success and development and we believe absolutely Tim will build on that success and continue to improve the program,” she said. Burch said the situation at Indian Hill appealed to him because of the people he’s worked with over the past six years as the freshman head coach. “The kids have been fantastic, the parents have been fantastic, it’s just a great place to be,” Burch said. “I love the situation I’m in and I’m blessed to be in that situation.” Burch said the transition will be

made easier by the fact he coaches several of the varsity players when they were freshmen and they know what to expect from him. “My coaching style is mostly that we’re going to try to outwork the other teams,” he said. “Getting guys to play hard for us is the biggest key. When you have kids playing hard things fall into the right place.” Burch also said it helps that Moss left the program in good shape, with plenty of talent in the ranks. The Braves will have to replace a considerable amount of scoring next year but return two of the top players in the conference in Sam Hendricks and Will Satterfield. Hendricks led the team in scoring with 13.4 points per game and Satterfield was fourth in scoring with 10.8 points per game. “They were 19-0 as freshmen,” Burch said. “They will help me a lot. These kids will get us going in the right direction and some juniors will step up too.” Burch, who lives in Madeira
and had sons that played for Jim Reynolds, said he knows the CHL has some good teams and some great coaches. “It’s one of the toughest conferences,” he said. “These guys could coach anywhere in the city. I think highly of all the coaches. It should be a lot of fun.” Burch also said one of his goals would be to build up the lower levels of the program. One thing he brings to the job is that he’s coached every grade level from kindergarten through ninth. “It’s something I bring to the community different from everyone else. It’s still a community program and we need to build from the first-graders up to build a whole program. Our varsity guys will be very involved in the youth program right away to get more excitement around the program.” Burch said he wants to create more excitement and more of a community feel to the program. “Hopefully the kids will come out,” he said. “I just want to lead for these guys.”
Registration for the Annual Cincinnati Metro Softball Tournament is due by noon on July 19. The road to the city championship begins with the tournament draw on July 28 at Rumpke Park when teams find out who they will play in the first round. Games begin July 30 and continue through Aug. 12. The entry fee is $295 per team, and the tournament is open to any team that played in a sanctioned softball league at a Greater Cincinnati park during 2009. The tournament offers men’s and women’s divisions for all levels, from recreational to competitive.
The Cincinnati ASA governs play at the Metro, and a $30 ASA sanction fee is required for nonASA teams. Registration forms are available online at www.rumpkeballpark.com or by calling Rumpke Ballpark at 738-2646. More than 300 teams competed last year, continuing the Metro’s status as the largest amateur softball tournament in the nation. Rumpke Park in Crosby Township serves as the main location, and fields at six local parks are also used to accommodate the number of games.

Visitors to Cincinnati.com posted these comments to a story about possible replacements for the late Bob Schuler as 7th District Ohio state senator: “Tom Brinkman refuses to support the higher taxes that we know have done so much good for our state. We have endorsed Michelle Schneider because of her steadfast support for Bob Taft’s taxand-spend agenda that has done so much good for our state. Michelle voted for the 20 percent sales tax increase, whereas Brinkman voted against it. Michelle also helped raise gas prices by supporting a 27 percent gasoline tax hike. Again, Brinkman had the nerve to vote against it. “Those of us who support higher taxes cannot wait to see Michelle Schneider appointed to this seat. We need her to get Ohio back on track. If you agree with us that higher taxes and more spending lead to greater prosperity, do your part to help Michelle get this appointment.” Reps4HigherTaxes “Phil Heimlich: The former Cincinnati councilman lost his bid for re-election as a county commissioner in 2006 to Democrat David Pepper. He is now hosting a syndicated conservative radio talk show.” yssehettu “Republicans and Democrats take notice: Your days of scheming and spending will come to an end. The Constitution Party is growing and will replace you as if you were Whigs.” bscoms “Don’t make me gag! Your theocratic party will go no-where except in the trashcan of history. “The Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the Universe and of

People like you are scared because you know that when the Constitution Party gets going, you and your kind will be marginalized and your socialist/fascist dreams will be crushed.” bscoms “Spend all that time and money running for a $60K job? Seems foolhardly.” skylight ‘I just read the results of an extensive Gallop Poll on the political beliefs of Americans. The results were quite surprising ... Americans have become much more conservative, that’s right, conservative, in the last four years. The survey covered a host range of issues and even how respondents described themselves (liberal, conservative or moderate). The Republicans need to appoint a real conservative, like Tom Brinkman, instead of the phonies (Taft, Voinovich, DeWine, etc ...) that have been promoting. Looing at their track record, I am not very hopeful.” BearcatTom “Problem – citizens in district are not allowed to vote for a new rep either Republican, Democrat or independent! Republicans should not have the right to appoint any new Republican rep! They work for the taxpayers in their districts and should allow the citizens to vote a new rep in from either of the two parties, or an independent! Typical good Ole Boy/gals neo cons attempting to keep their own kind in power!

Whenever I’ve asked for someone’s take on our beautiful Queen City, by far the most frequent response I’ve heard is that “Cincinnati is a conservative town.” This has been true whether the respondent is a native, a transplant or a visitor. The perception is so widespread that it would seem to be an irrefutable fact, not just in political terms, but also from a more personal perspective. There’s no doubt Cincinnati has an established history that’s been carefully preserved. A customary support of family values, the conservation of art and architecture, a tradition of major league sports, a presence of solid business practices, and an explicit reverence for reputable authority are all admirable traits in defining this city. They’re also patently conventional. I have yet to hear anyone describe Cincinnati as “liberal,” especially in terms of a personal proclivity, not necessarily a political bias. I’ve never heard Cincinnatians described overall as “activist,” “avant-garde,” “cosmopolitan,” “far-reaching,” “freethinking,” “futuristic,” “advanced,” “ultramodern” or “ahead of their time.” Granted, some of these words may have negative connotations. Their implied meaning might hold an insidious threat to our comfortable lifestyles. At the same time, collective resistance to original thought might indicate closed-mindedness. When it comes to allowing for innovative concepts, we seem a bit wary. A communal snub at individual differences in ideas,
outlooks, and objectives could point – at least in part – to a mind-numbing complacency. At its worst, a lack of tolerance translates Mary Kathryn into bigotry and ‘M.K.’ Jones chauvinism. I’ve watched Community talented young Press guest people leave columnist Cincinnati and never come back because they’re seeking environments that are more accepting of expansive change. I’ve talked to visitors who tell me they enjoy Cincinnati – it’s a lovely city – but there’s a diversity of expression that seems to be lacking. I can’t disagree. It’s a little too homogenized. No, I don’t mean homogeneous. I’m alluding to overprocessed milk. Decent family values are timeless. Ethics and morality never go out of style. The safeguarding of ideals we hold sacred remains important to our very survival. However, when protecting our beliefs implies obstructing another’s, we too become constricted. When honor becomes self-righteousness, we limit ourselves. We stop developing into the fullness of our capabilities. Cincinnati is a wonderful city. But I can’t help but wish that we’d all make a little more conscious effort at independent thought and respect for the thoughts of others. An enhanced acknowledgment of human rights – our own and others’ – would allow us all more breathing room. Heightened awareness would
CH@TROOM July 8 question
This month marks the 40th anniversary of man’s first step on the moon. What do you remember about that event? Do you think the U.S. should return to the moon? Why or why not? “It was July 21, 1969, and I was finishing up a career step in West Virginia, and preparing to move to Cincinnati. “I remember that a co-worker named Dick Longyear was with my wife and I when Neil Armstrong made history; his first words were, ‘Houston - the Eagle has landed.’ “And then came the unforgettable ‘That’s one small step for man, and one giant leap for mankind.’ “I may lack the necessary wisdom and foresight to understand it all clearly, but to be honest, I see no point in any attempts by the U.S. to return to the moon, or explore other planets in the solar system. “The risks will probably always remain incredibly high, the costs astronomical (no pun intended), and the benefits questionable. Bill B. “Unless we clearly would benefit in someway, or it would advance our knowledge in someway, with the fact we do not have the funds. I would have to object to the increased federal spending, which is already out of control. “My hope is that someday both the Republican and Democ-
rat parties will begin to control spending. Excessive taxation leads to destruction of our financial system. “I continue to hope & pray our local township, city and state officials will begin to lead in our objection and bring government back to sanity.” F.J.B. “I would hope that any return to the moon would be pursued only after the budget is balanced and the national debt is paid off. The International Space Station has already cost $125 billion from various countries. Between that and the recent bailouts I suspect the U.S. could have instead lowered taxes and provided for the legal citizens who need help. Go figure!” T.D.T. “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 waist so much money on other programs I cannot see why we should not continue with the moon program.” L.S. “I remember it like yesterday, I was 12 years old at summer camp in Green Lake, Wisc., we all gathered so excitedly around a very small black and white TV to watch the first step on the moon. The camp was so primitive I have no idea where they got the TV or

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.

Show features rare Harper paintings By Caitlin Varley cvarley@communitypress.com

Lynnette Witsken, left, and Lulu Sekula opened Faux Posh on Clough Pike in April.
Fun, eclectic mix at Faux Posh Lulu Sekula was looking to branch out beyond the restaurant business and took root with Faux Posh. “I’ve always had a dream to have my own shop,” she said. “I like things that catch my eye and have life in them.” Sekula, who collected “fun and interesting pieces” over the years, said she was looking for a place where her daughter could be part of the workday. Together, Sekula and her business partner Lynnette Witsken opened Faux Posh in April, an upscale, resale store that has a vintage and eclectic flair. “You can come here and find something different that no one else is going to have,” Witsken said. Vintage lamps and vases, refurbished armoires and chairs, candles and clothing are just a small sample of the selection at the Clough Pike store. What sets Faux Posh apart from other resale shops, Sekula said, is their take on consignment. Customers can bring a collectible item into the store and Faux Posh will advertise the item on Craigslist. Witsken said they also offer a “personal shopper” service for customers in the market for a specific item.

Not everything that comes to Faux Posh is ready for sale, so Sekula and Witsken refurbish some items, such as an armoire from the 1920s. “Most of the items are essentially recycled and sometimes we find a diamond in the rough,” Sekula said. “Especially in this economy, we have fun, great finds at a fraction of the cost of going out and finding new items.” Faux Posh also works with local women artisans who sell their crafts at the store.

Although artist Charley Harper passed away 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 are on display now through Aug. 8 at Fabulous Frames and Art in Montgomery. 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.
wanted to buy. He said they were a range of themes, including fish, birds, travel and a mix of other subjects. Harper said finding originals for the vintage Ford Times prints was one of the most exciting things. That includes the fish, bird and travel pieces. Harper said the originals also include about 25 collages that are really special. “(My father) and I had both thought they were gone forever,” Harper said. Harper said he wants to keep some of the paintings for major exhibitions. Harper said the paintings at the show will be priced at East and West Coast prices, which is what he thinks they should cost. He doesn’t expect any of the paintings to be priced under $20,000. “If they sell, they sell,” Harper said. “If they don’t, it’s been a very good reason for Ken to bring people in.” Carl said he hopes they will sell some, but he knows they all will not sell.

Harper said the corporate historian e-mailed him because they wanted to divest their art collection. The company wanted to retain a small, core collection, but they wanted to offer the bulk of it to the artists’ families or their estates. “I thought that was very gracious of Ford,” Harper said. Harper went to Dearborn, Mich., a few weeks later to see the original paintings. “I just looked at them when I walked in the door and a lot of emotions went through me,” Harper said. Harper said it was like seeing part of his father at a young age again. “He was so vibrant and energetic and just teeming with ideas,” Harper said. There were between 108 and 120 paintings, Harper said. Some were close ups of Ford hardware and the company did not want them to be taken. Harper sorted through the paintings and ended up with 50 that he

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 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 not fair. “This was for a total of a negative $5.90, and they are charging me, with one fee that was 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 w h o l e time – it n e v e r 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 debits so they maximize overdraft fees. Meanwhile, Congress is also listening to consumers
the transaction. Troubleshooter Howard Ain answers consumer complaints and questions weekdays at 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts on WKRC-TV Local
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

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 hydro-
genated. 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 chopped 1
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.

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.
