Fire in the home!
Firefighters were already on the scene before the fire started in Camp Dennison on Aug. 7. As part of a training exercise, firefighters from the Loveland Symmes, Sycamore Township, Sharonville and Blue Ash fire departments, all part of the Northeast Fire Collaborative, set a house on fire on Lincoln Road in Camp Dennison. The house was acquired from the owners for the exercise because there were already plans to tear it down. FULL STORY, A2

Camp Dennison could see a new water system as early as 2010. The Symmes Township community has an older water system in place that does not have enough water flow in case of a fire emergency. Pressure tests were conducted on the hydrants Huber and it was determined that adding a loop in the water main system would help with the fire flow. Loveland Symmes Fire Chief Otto Huber said that the updated looped system would help because in the case of a water main break the entire system would not shut down. The new system is estimated to cost $126,000. Township Administrator Gerald Beckman said he was working on grants from the state to help offset the cost. The Symmes board also encouraged talks with Indian Hill Water Works on sharing the bill for the new system. Indian Hill Water Works is responsible for the residential water flow in Camp Dennison, but
“I think there should be some mutual responsibility (with Indian Hill Water Works).”
Ken Bryant Symmes Township Board of Trustees president
Huber said they are not obligated to provide water flow for the fire department. “I think there should be some mutual responsibility (with Indian Hill Water Works),” Board of Trustees President Ken Bryant said. Jason Adkins, assistant superintendent of Indian Hill Water Works, said its still too early in the process to determine what the village’s role will be in the improvements. “Right now, from what I understand, they’re in a design phase,” he said. Once that phase is completed, Adkins said the village would get together with those working on the project to figure out the best course of action, and who will be paying for what. Hamilton County owns and maintains all of the fire hydrants in Camp Dennison and Huber said the county will replace the hydrants where needed with the new system.
Indian Hill’s Chesley to be honored By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com

He said Symmes Township is good for a couple of acquired buildings a year because they are still a developing community. By the end of the training exercise, the house will be burned down. Huber said the owners of the property plan to build a new home.

Pique, who has been with the district since 1995, said an estimated 250 people from school districts throughout the area will participate. “I enjoy the interaction among the schools and teachers,” said Pique. Pique, 46, will lead a session on the Blackboard and its uses in the classroom. She said sessions on available tools on the Web will likely be among the most popular. Even though this is only the second Tech Academy, Pique said it’s received a lot of support. “We received so much positive feedback from the participants,” she said about the 2007 workshop.

CCD, Indian Hill cross country back Mount Notre Dame
By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
Area runners are getting ready for the cross country season. Here’s a forecast for local teams as they prepare for the 2009 campaign.
Cincinnati Country Day
The Cincinnati Country Day boys’ cross country team returns all of their top runners. The top runner for the Indians will be sophomore Kyle Kistinger, who was one of the top runners in the league last year. Senior captain Will Portman will be the team’s No. 2 runner. Seniors Tom Langlois and Nick Bender, another captain, will also be standouts for the Indians. Jimmy Stafford rounds out the top runners for the boys’ team. CCD won the league and district championship in 2008 and head coach Merle Black expects the team to be as competitive in 2009. “The commitment and talent is there to do even better than we did last season,” he said. On the girls’ side, junior and captain Alanah Hall is the standout for the Indians. Black said Hall’s goal is to qualify for state this season. Lilly Fleischmann is another strong runner and senior Emily Finch will also contend for a top spot for the Indians. The girls’ team won the league meet, was district runners-up in 2008 and will have to run hard to match their success in 2009. “The team has great spirit and

High school golf teams look solid By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
Local high school golfers are back on the green. Here’s a look at area teams as they head into season.
Indian Hill
The Indian Hill boys’ golf team returns five varsity players from a team that qualified for the district tournament in 2008. Seniors Nate Bennett, Miles Chadwick, juniors Robby Pickett and Nate Meyer and sophomore Michael Sewell are all returning. Indian Hill also has a good crop of young talent incoming. “The squad appears to have a great chance of contending for the CHL championship and for a spot in the state tournament,” head coach Topher Sheldon said. “The biggest thing this team lacks is not talent but confidence, and hopefully some early successes will bolster that and help lead
us deeper into the postseason. The girls’ team is coming off a very successful season that saw the Braves lose only once during the regular season. The team qualified for the district tournament and head coach Cynthia Annett thinks the team can return to the district tournament in 2009. “They key will be the two senior leaders scoring low and the addition of several of the new players,” she said. Those two senior leaders are Allison Hamilton, a four-year player and Keerstin Ramsey, in her second year with the team. The team also returns Heather Ma, Maggie O’Shea and Reetie Tarver. The team has several promising newcomers, including senior Jennifer Kim, sophomore McKenna Kornman and freshman Jackie Trott. “My goal is to go past districts and possibly qualify for the state tournament,” she said.
CARA OWSLEY/CONTRIBUTOR

CHCA
Leading the Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy Eagles golf team in 2009 will be seniors Josh Everhart, Chris Lehky and Nate Post, as well as junior Duhann Jacobs and sophomores T.J. Stachler and Ben Lapps.
Moeller
The Moeller High School golf team is coming off of a GCL championship in 2008 and finished 8-4 in 2008. The team will be led by a strong junior class. Andrew Dorn, Nick Tenhundfeld and Alex Pietrandera are the returning players for the Crusaders, along with Luke Wilken, Mike Irwin and Cameron Braig. Jackson Lee, Mike Wolf and Andrew Obryan should be key players for Moeller as well. Head coach Rick Bohne said he likes his team’s work ethic and team attitude and that St. Xavier will be one of the tougher teams the Crusaders need to go through if they are to repeat as GCL champs. The Crusaders are also looking to get back to the state tournament as Moeller placed fourth in the state in 2008.
The Ursuline Academy Lions will be led by a pair of secondteam All-GGCL performers in 2008 – junior Amanda Castle and sophomore Megan Tenhundfeld. Also contributing will be senior Sloane Hamilton.
Indian Hill’s Allison Hamilton tees off at the Division II District Tournament in 2008 and will be one of the top golfers for Indian Hill in 2009.
Moeller
The Moeller High School team is coming off a 78-36 season and returns five key starters. David Griffith, Patrick McCarty, Jim Tussey, Tom Tussey and Paul Krehbiel are all back for the Crusaders. Head coach Dave Prenger said that should mean good things for the Crusaders. “With the majority of the varsity team from 2008 back, that gives us plenty to build on for 2009,” he said.
Ursuline
The Ursuline Academy Lions finished second in the GGCL, third at districts and 11th at regionals last year. This season they’ll rely on sophomores Katrina Mariocchi, Dani Dailey and Nikki Volpenhein. Mariocchi and Volpenhein earned second team All-GGCL honors in 2008. Also contributing will be junior Pam Showman, who was honorable mention all-conference last year.

Senior Tina Verrilli, juniors Elizabeth Deutsch, Sarah Macke and Allison Weaver and sophomores Katelyn Sussli and Kendra Adams all ran varsity last year. Seniors Kristi Betz, Vanessa Hope and Jess Ernst are looking to fill the seventh spot. Head coach Aaron Gnagy said the season looks promising. “This group has been running together for a couple years and they know each others capabilities and our confidence has ANTHONY AMORINI/STAFF improved,” he said. “We’re in a tough league and Indian Hill’s Mack Rice qualified for the regional meet as a freshman in 2008 and will be a winning would be a great season for us.

Nabors-McNally won the 1981 Ohio High School doubles title (with teammate Angela Farley Wilson) and then went on to play at Northwestern University where she was All-Big Ten and qualified for the NCAA Championships. The Indian Hill High School grad then played on the women’s professional tour against the likes of Lindsay Davenport and Mary Pierce, and coached numerous teams and individuals to city and state championships including a player currently on the women’s pro tour. Those to be enshrined along with Nabors-McNally are John Peckskamp, John Cook and Angela Farley Wilson. “This class of inductees is just another example of the depth of tennis talent we’ve been blessed to have in Cincinnati,” said Jim Farley, Chairman of the Cincinnati Tennis Hall of Fame. “100 years ago, Cincinnatians were on the forefront of the national and international tennis scene, and over the years that history, tradition and legacy has only grown. These four individuals are certainly great examples of why.” The induction ceremony will be on Center Court on Saturday, Aug. 15, during the women’s semifinals and the men’s qualifying of the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters & Women’s Open, the latest name for a Cincinnati tennis tradition that is today the oldest tournament in the nation played in its original city. The enshrinement luncheon is open to the public. To buy tickets, call Carole Meldon at 379-7726. A ticket to the matches is required for entry to the tournament grounds. A Cincinnati Tennis Hall of Fame luncheon (formerly a din-
ner) will begin at 10:30 a.m., and will include brief speeches followed by an on-court enshrinement ceremony on Center Court. Once enshrined, individuals will be permanently memorialized at the physical home of the Cincinnati Tennis Hall of Fame, which is at the Carl and Edyth Lindner Family Tennis Pavilion, Lunken Airport Playfield. Cincinnati is home to worldrenowned players, the oldest professional tournament played in its original city and the first city ever selected by the International Tennis Hall of Fame as its “City of the Year.” The Cincinnati Tennis Hall of Fame was established in 2002 to honor the individuals who have helped forge the history, tradition and legacy of Cincinnati tennis. The Chairman of the Cincinnati Tennis Hall of Fame is Jim Farley. Selection Committee members are Marguerita Alder, Jim Brockhoff, Kathy Graeter, Bill Lofgren, Brian Nester and Phil Smith. The Program Committee is comprised of Bruce Flory, Dick Friedman, Brian Leshner, Karen Montovan and Phil Smith. The Cincinnati Tennis Hall of Fame is a part of the Greater Cincinnati Tennis Association, a nonprofit organization. Cincinnati Tennis Hall of Fame Enshrinees are: • 2002 – Bill Talbert and Tony Trabert. • 2003 – Barry MacKay, Paul Flory, Tom Price, Al Bunis, Ruth Sanders Cordes, Kathy Graeter and Nat Emerson. • 2004 – Bill Lofgren, J.

Should Major League Baseball reinstate Pete Rose? Why or why not? “Truthfully, I don’t care. But it does make me think again, as I have so many times in my life, about why people tend to elevate certain people to virtual sainthood based solely on athletic ability (which is usually something an individual inherits from his/her genetic makeup) or popularity as an entertainer. “In my life, I have known so many wonderful people who have given so much to others in terms of their time and talent, and have remained unknown and unrecognized. “For example, there is a young couple in our parish who have adopted a number of children, assuming lifetime responsibility for their care and development. The couple are white, and the children are black and mixed race. “These people are far more worthy of recognition and attention than any Pete Rose or Michael Jackson.” Bill B. “Yes, his playing earned it. He’s paid for his mistake long enough.” J.F. “A few years ago I’d have said no, because he broke the rules and knew all along that banishment would be the punishment if he got caught. But, with the recent steroid revelations, and the fact that many of the newly disclosed offenders will still be eligible for the Hall of Fame, or at least allowed to make a living in baseball, again – I say welcome him back. 4,256 hits speak for themselves.” P.C. “I was not a resident of Cincinnati during the days of the Big Red Machine and not a baseball fan either, so my opinion is very different than many die-hard Reds fans. “I think professional athletes need to follow the laws of the land and the ethics of their team, whether that means not betting on or against one’s team, taking steroids, killing dogs, abusing men or women, or driving while intoxicated. “I realize Pete Rose was a great baseball player, but he had no control over choosing from right and wrong. Why should he be rewarded?” E.E.C. “Let me start by saying that President Obama has nothing to do with this topic. Too many times I have read answers to questions in this forum that have nothing to do with the question being asked. Instead the reader is using it as an excuse to go on an Obama tirade. You know who you are. “So to re-cap. Pete Rose not being in the Hall of Fame is NOT President Obama’s fault. “As for the question at hand, yes, Pete Rose deserves to be in

the Hall of Fame. He deserved to be in a long time ago. And do you really need an asterick next to his name? “Anyone who follows baseball, and most who don’t, know what he did. But if putting one next to his name gets him in, I’m OK with that. “With all of the big names being linked to steroids lately, did Rose really disgrace the game any more than they did? A handfull of players linked to steroids are firstballot Hall of Famer’s when their time comes. Will they all be left out? I guess only time will tell. “But if we start banning players from the Hall based on their behavior on (or off the field), there won’t be much to see when you visit. T.Z. “Yes. Michael Vick, who only received a 23-month sentence for dogfighting, is eligible to be reinstated to the NFL and will likely be playing somewhere this fall. Not only was it just gambling on dogfighting and financing its operations, this boil on the buttocks of society also tortured losing dogs by electrocution, drowning and gunshot. What a sick, sociopathic individual. “Pete simply gambled on baseball, without any of the barbarianism exhibited by Michael Vick, and he is banned for life. How is that fair? It’s not, and if that is all the punishment Vick received for such revolting acts, then Pete has definitely paid his debt to society. I think most people would agree with this.” L.L.F. “I believe Pete has paid the penalty for his unacceptable activity in betting on baseball. He has established the record and as a result he does belong in the Hall of Fame.” F.J.B. “Pete Rose should be considered for the Hall of Fame. He now claims he did not bet on baseball as a player, only as a non-playing manager. The Dowd report does not substantiate this. IF he is made eligible he would have to be voted in by the veterans committee. The sports writers only vote for the first 15 years after a player has been out of baseball 5 years. Pete has served his time and paid dearly for his mistakes. If necessary he could be put in the “proposed” new Hall of Fame Steroid Wing. My guess is Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig will do nothing. He is good at that. Go figure!” T.D.T.

You can help cut down on smog It thrives during summer. You can barely see it coming, but at its worst it has been known to kill. It is particularly dangerous for children, the elderly and people with respiratory problems, but it does not discriminate – affecting every person it comes into contact with. What is this silent pollutant? Smog. The word itself comes from a combination of smoke and fog, two things that have a similar look to smog’s hazy appearance. However, the white vapor that makes up smog is actually a form of air pollution. “Smog is a very serious issue in our region, negatively affecting the health of our residents and the environment we live in,” said Steve Pendery, president of the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) and Campbell County executive judge. “It’s a concern that should be on the minds of everyone in the area – especially during this time of year.” Smog can be caused by a variety of chemical reactions, but in the Greater Cincinnati area the main component is ground-level ozone. This type of ozone is the very same gas that is found miles above earth’s surface in the ozone layer, but when ozone is close to the ground it is labeled as groundlevel ozone or “bad” ozone. Smog and ground-level ozone are both created when heat and sunlight react with vehicular and industrial emissions, causing dangerous effects on people’s health and the environment. Smog affects the lungs’ work-
ing capacity, making it harder to breath. It can cause shortness of breath, pain, wheezing and coughing as well as nose and Emily eye irritation. Feldman Inhaling smog can create Community longer-lasting Press guest health probcolumnist lems, such as, chronic inflammation of lung tissue, increased respiratory symptoms, heart attacks, lung disease and chronic bronchitis. Throughout the year, air pollution levels are monitored. When there are high levels of emissions in the presence of sunlight or high temperatures, a smog alert is issued to warn individuals of the pollution. Local media outlets announce when a smog alert is in effect - but smog alert information can also be found by calling 1800-621-SMOG. Residents can also sign up to receive an e-mail or fax alert by calling the number. Smog is particularly harmful for children, the elderly and people with asthma or respiratory problems because their lungs are more sensitive to air pollution. It is recommended that these groups limit outdoor activity during smog alerts. There are also a variety of ways to reduce individual air pollution. “By staying informed and making simple adjustments to our daily routine, we can all help

Prevention key to health care reform As Congress and President Barack Obama wrangle over health care reform, I hope they remember one very important point: Any plan that doesn’t include prevention as a key element will not succeed. In 2008, the United States spent nearly 17 percent of its total economy – that’s more than $2 trillion – on health care, yet 46 million Americans remain uninsured. While this is a staggering statistic, it’s important to remember, as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has correctly pointed out, that seeing a doctor has little to do with staying well. In fact, preventable conditions and addictions such as obesity and smoking put millions of Americans at risk for preventable diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. In my home state of Ohio, where I serve as director of Health, these risk factors are prevalent. Nearly one-quarter, 23.4 percent, of Ohio adults are cigarette smokers; 36.2 percent were overweight with a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 29.9; and 26.5 percent were obese with a BMI of 30 or higher (an ideal BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9). And on July 1, the Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) issued a report that called Ohio the 10th fattest state in the nation with 63.6 percent of the population either overweight or obese. In Ohio, the five leading causes of death – heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic lower respiratory and diabetes – all have risk factors associated with preventable conditions such as tobacco use, poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, etc. When you add unintentional injuries to the mix, these condi-
tions caused 68.6 percent of Ohio deaths during 2004 through 2006. So what do we do? We focus on prevention. In fact, an Alvin D. investment of Jackson $10 per person year in Community per proven commuPress guest nity-based precolumnist vention programs could save the United States more than $16 billion a year within five years, TFAH said in its “F as in Fat” report. That’s a big return on investment - $5.60 for every $1 spent, according to TFAH. I believe in prevention so much, I incorporated it into my private practice in the holistic model of health care. That is care with a focus on chronic disease prevention, where patients partner with their providers to maintain good health and assist in coming up with treatment options when prevention alone is not enough. I took this message to the White House in May when I, along with leaders of some of America’s largest companies, met with Mr. Obama to discuss innovative workplace practices designed to lessen the cost of providing health care to employees. Simply stated, we must move from a “sick care” system to a true health care system. Today, the United States spends close to $100 billion – with Ohio spending about $3.3 billion; yes, with a ‘b,’ – to address the health consequences of insufficient physical activity and poor nutrition each year. Meanwhile, overweight- and obesity-related conditions

accounted for 9.1 percent of U.S medical expenditures in 1998, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. Many of these overweightand obesity-related conditions can be prevented or at least well-managed by targeting their major causes – poor nutrition and a lack of physical activity. There are no quick fixes, but if we work together to improve food choices in our schools and communities; to make communities more convenient for walking and bike riding; to make employee wellness a goal for all employers; and to stress to our children the importance of playing (physical activity) and eating well, someday, we can break the cycle of our enlarging national waistline. In Ohio, the Department of Administrative Services launched its “Take Charge! Live Well!” program in 2005 after learning that 44 percent of health care costs were associated with preventable conditions, while just 27 percent were related to high-risk State of Ohio employees. Until “Take Charge! Live Well!” was established, Ohio targeted its health care programs toward disease management and improving the health of high-risk workers. Our Office of Healthy Ohio recently issued an Obesity Prevention Plan – available at www.healthyohioprogram.org – and made $1.1 million in grants available to 14 local health departments to help make physical activity and good nutritional options more readily available in their respective communities. Ohio is now doing for its workers and residents what the United States needs to do for its citizens – focusing on prevention. Alvin D. Jackson, M.D., is director of the Ohio Department of Health.

Greg Breitfelder recently opened his consignment and auction shop, The Auction Floor, in Mt. Lookout square.
The Auction Floor brings twist to retail Looking for an art deco lamp from the 1940s, a painting from the 1920s or a hutch from the early 1900s? Chances are The Auction Floor in Mt. Lookout square has it. The consignment shop is filled with vintage collectibles, furniture and art from the first half of the 20th century, but owner Greg Breitfelder put his own spin on his retail business. Everything in the store is up for auction on his Web site and Breitfelder said items can be sold for $1 or $500. “I try to keep an eclectic mix of items in the auctions and the audience determines the market value,” he said. Breitfelder said he discovered his enthusiasm for unique deals while perusing garage sales years ago.
He later began selling antiques he bought at estate sales, became a licensed auctioneer and three years ago, he started hosting online auctions. Customers can bring their items to the store and bid for others on The Auction Floor’s Web site. Each auction is open for one week and Breitfelder said customers can pick up their “win” at the store. “It’s a little different from eBay (because) you’re not competing against the whole world,” he said of his business. “It’s unique and it’s something different.” Win or lose a bid, Breitfelder said he hopes both the customers and consignors have fun.

The emerging spirituality of imperfection ality is not about perfection and doing everything right; it’s about connection. In “Messy Spirituality� Michael Yaconelli states, “The way of the spiritual life begins where we are now in the mess of our lives. Accepting the reality of our broken, flawed lives is the beginning of spirituality, not because the spiritual life will remove our flaws but because we let go of seeking perfection and, instead, seek God, the one who is present in the tangledness of our lives.� A more terse description of our flawed nature is contained in O’Neill’s play “The Great God Brown,� “Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is the glue.� Hopefully along the way we become more humble, loving and compassionate. The steps along the way are not ascending some recognizable glorious staircase called ego, but learning to
live the ordinariness of our everyday lives. “Don’t fuss too much about yourself, or fight the truth, just accept yourself and grow,� said an old spiritual director. As Henri Nouwen wrote in his “Genesee Diary,� “He who thinks that he is finished is finished. Those who think they have arrived, have lost their way. Those who think they have reached their goal, have missed it. Those who think they are saints, are demons.� The secular world does not encourage people to acknowledge the spiritual aspect of our nature. Rather it rages against religious systems which they believe deprive us of our desires and physical vitality. David Tacey says of the secularist, “When religion is rejected, it does not mean that the spirit and soul go away or disappear. They are simply repressed into the unconscious where they

Despite federal efforts to get mortgage lenders to do more to help homeowners remain in the homes, the number of foreclosures continues to increase. Robin Peach of Burlington is one of those homeowners who have had trouble with her mortgage for the past two years. A letter from the bank said Peach had defaulted on her mortgage because she owes about $570. But, she says, she has regularly sent in her payment via Western Union. Unfortunately, when she does that all she has is a record of sending the money and no receipt showing the bank actually received it. As a result of the uncertainly, Peach started making her payments by Certified Check but says that hasn’t helped either. “Right now I stand in active foreclosure. They sent another two payments back to me on Saturday. They’re not accepting my money.� Peach says. A January letter from her bank says she’s behind in her payments by $2,800, plus $100 in late fees. Peach says she doesn’t understand how the bank came up with those figures but hasn’t been able to get any answers. She hired an attorney in December but says that hasn’t helped. I had Peach call her bank directly and I got on the line to try to figure out what’s going on. Unfortunately, Peach is dealing with an out-of-state lender so she can’t just go over and talk with a manager. Bank officials I talked with on the phone tell me they don’t want her house and would rather she be out of foreclosure. They told me the bank did receive her payments for November and December but just hadn’t applied them to her account. Yet, they applied the January payment before putting her into active foreclosure. I explained how she now has thousands of dollars in payments she can send and bank officials said they will have someone from their repayment team contact her.

ituality of imperfection says that the first step involves f a c i n g oneself squarely Father Lou and seeing Guntzelman ourselves Perspectives as we are: mixed-up, incomplete, and imperfect. To be human is to be error-prone. We are more than the beasts, less than God, yet somehow we are both. Authors Ernest Kurtz and Katherine Ketcham write, “Spirituality helps us first to see, and then to understand, and eventually to accept the imperfection that lies at the very core of our human be-ing.� Spirituality is not a formula to follow; it is a relationship with God. Spirituality is not about competency; it is about intimacy. Spiritu-

Trying to be perfect in anything is a huge mistake. That’s because we’re human. It’s doubly so when it comes to the spiritual part of being human. It’s said the first prayer of a human is a cry for help. “O God, come to my assistance, O Lord make haste to help me,� (Psalm 70) begins a monastic’s prayer. Bill Wilson, founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, never did “get religion,� but he did become a spiritual man. Through the pain of his life experience he came to realize that unless he made connection with a power greater than himself, he was lost. He was convinced that “We must find some spiritual basis for living, else we die.� Some people think being spiritual means becoming perfect. Not at all.

Volunteering is a family affair While most kids are spending their summer lounging by the pool and soaking up the rays, Ellen Brown is volunteering her time at Stepping Stones Center’s summer Day Camp for children with disabilities in Indian Hill. For Brown, who is a senior at Purdue University studying biology education, volunteering at Stepping Stones is a family affair. “My mom and aunt volunteered here when they were my age, and my cousin George is a camper here,� she said. Brown grew up in South Korea and Japan, where her dad worked for JP Morgan Chase. Her family often spent summers in Cincinnati, where they own a summer home in Hyde Park. After three years of volunteering at the Day Camp, Brown says she has so much fun enjoying summer activities like boating and crafts, and has learned a lot from the campers by trying to see things through their perspective. “When the Cincinnati Zoo came and showcased some of their animals, the campers were so excited. They asked great questions and had a blast. “It opens up a whole new world, being at camp. Whatever life struggles you are going through are left at the door. When you’re here, it’s about making it worthwhile for the kids,� said Brown. Brown also enjoys forming relationships with the campers. “Every year I love dancing with Robbie� Robbie, a camper in the Cicadas, the group which

Camper Robbie Frierson dances with volunteer Ellen Brown during the summer day camp. Brown usually works with, loves singing Mariah Carey songs and dancing. It is memories like these, which Brown says, have kept her coming back to Stepping Stones. Stepping Stones Center is a 46-year-old United Way partner agency dedicated to increasing independence, improving lives and promoting inclusion for children and adults with disabilities. It started as Greater Cincinnati’s first summer day camp for children with disabilities in 1963. Today the $2.6 million agency has year-round programs for children and adults with all levels of disabilities, including autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, cognitive deficits, multiple disabilities and medically fragile conditions.
The summer camp pro-
gram serves close to 350 children and adults a season. Teen summer day camp volunteers are needed throughout the summer to act as buddies to children with disabilities. Volunteers are especially needed in August. Day camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday through Aug. 14. Volunteers must be 13 and older (or 12 and going into the eighth grade) Training is provided. For information on volunteering, contact Sarah Bosley Woeber at 8314660, ext. 26, or sarah.bosley@steppingstonescenter.org.

Ohio National pledges home Construction on the first Cincinnati Habitat for Humanity home pledged by Ohio National Financial Services began at 3717 Standish Ave. in Kennedy Heights with a special wall raising ceremony. To celebrate 100 years as part of the Cincinnati community, Ohio National Financial Services announced its commitment to fund the construction of 10 Habitat for Humanity homes over the next five years – the largest one-time gift to Cincinnati Habitat for Humanity – earlier this year. “Our partnership with Cincinnati Habitat for Humanity is a living representation of Ohio National’s tagline. ‘Life changes. We’ll be there.’ When life changes, we look to the safety and stability provided by home. Habitat for Humanity makes the dream of home ownership a reality for thousands of families across the United States and in our local community,” said David B. O’Maley, Ohio National chairman, president and chief executive officer. When completed, the home at 3717 Standish Ave. will belong to the John and Yeamata Kollie family. Refugees from Sierra Leone, the Kollies endured all aspects of civil war in their country before coming to the United States and start-

David O’Maley, Ohio National’s chairman, president and chief executive officer, presents a check to John and Yeamata Kollie, and their children Esther and John Jr. ing their family. To qualify for the Habitat home, the Kollies had to meet a variety of criteria and will work beside volunteers from Ohio National and the community investing 500 hours of “sweat equity” as their down payment on the home. The Kollies will also purchase the home with a 0 percent interest loan provided by Habitat for Humanity. “We cannot express how appreciative we are of this generous donation from Ohio National Financial Services. It’s not just the families we serve who will gain from their contributions – the entire community will benefit. Our collaborative partnership increases Cincinnati Habitat’s capacity to address one of our city’s most serious needs – providing decent, affordable
homeownership opportunities for hard-working families in need,” said Tom Salzbrun, Cincinnati Habitat for Humanity, executive director. Each Habitat for Humanity home symbolizes a decade in Ohio National’s 100-year history. The $780,000 gift will fund two homes each year for five years from 2009-2013. While Ohio National associates will volunteer to build the homes, the community at-large is also welcome to volunteer on the Ohio National homes. Complete volunteer information is available on Cincinnati Habitat for Humanity’s Web site www.cincinnati-habitat.org. V i s i t www.ohionational.com for more information.

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…
MICHIGAN 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.
