Hall a Day leader

Jon Hall may be the first man in the position, but that bit of history doesn’t daunt him. “I was more intrigued by the opportunity to contribute my skill set,” he said. Hall, 47, is the new president of the Parents’ Association at Cincinnati Country Day School. “I’ve been very involved in my kid’s education at Cincinnati Country Day,” said Hall, who has two children who attend Cincinnati Country Day.

Group selects Indian Hill candidates By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com

With the Aug. 20 filing deadline for candidates in the November elections, Indian Hill’s nominating committee has selected two candidates to fill positions being left by Mayor Eppa Rixey and Councilwoman Susan Holzapfel. The nominating committee, a long-standing tradition in the village, is made up of six residents who interview and nominate candidates to fill open council positions. The nominating committee chose Dan Feigelson and Laura Raines to run for council. Petitions for the chosen candidates are circulated before the Aug. 20 filing deadline, and selections made by the committee do not prevent other candidates from

campaigning for village council. Rixey said the committee serves to eliminate some of the political agendas of qualified candidates and Rixey instead focus on qualities that can make council more efficient. “We really aren’t looking for people with agendas,” he said. Rixey said he sees the nominating committee as an organized way to keep the council diverse as well as take some of the work out of the voters hands. He said few residents in any community take the time to research every candidate and issue. Therefore, the village nominating committee assists by

choosing candidates whose qualifications mesh with the current council. Village resident Anne Krehbiel, a local attorney, was one of those on the committee. She said it was a difficult process to choose only two of the four possible candidates, noting that she had the utmost respect for those willing to dedicate so much time “for the good of the community.” “I was really surprised by the amount of time those council members are expected to spend,” Krehbiel said. She said the committee met several times, though the bulk of the work came from each individual member, who did “homework” on each of the candidates prior to and after interviewing each one as a group.

Who’s running?

Here’s a list of incumbents and new candidates running for Indian Hill Village Council who were selected by the village nomination committee: Incumbents: Joseph Beech, Lindsay McLean, Keith Rabenold, David Ottenjohn, Mark Tullis Selections from nomination committee: Dan Feigelson, Laura Raines * Mayor Eppa Rixey and Councilwoman Susan Holzapfel will not be seeking re-election At several points in the village’s history, Rixey said the nominating committee’s sole responsibility has been to seek out candidates to run for office. He should know, since he was one of those solicited to run approximately eight years ago.

There is such a music, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the note B-flat.â&#x20AC;? Rockwell refers to the fact that in 2003 astronomers using the Hubble telescope registered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cosmic humâ&#x20AC;? emanating from black holes with â&#x20AC;&#x153;a frequency equivalent to a Bflat which in their instruments calculated to be 57 tones below middle C.â&#x20AC;?

4) For the first time in human history belief in God has become implausible in

Western civilization, and to the very same extent it had been plausible for earlier generations. As a result, the religious believer is in a defensive position. He knows his belief will be challenged and that if this happens, he will have to explain himself either in religious terms that more often than not irritate the other rather than enlighten him, or in secular terms that are not adequate for expressing transcendence. Therefore, you may expect people to draw back from talking about their religion and their spirituality, and to be afraid of encountering incomprehension if not down right rejection.

By turning the cap around, the male is signaling that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need this protection: he is tough enough to face the elements and the gaze of any who might threaten him. Second, inverting the cap is a gesture of non-conformity. Primates live in highly ordered social structures. Playing by the rules is considered essential. Turning the cap around shows that the male is above the rules that constrain his competitors, and again signals that he has a superior strength.

How to pickle that peck of peppers

Nell Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous pickled peppers

Lois Maasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spinach salad dressing

2 cups water â &#x201E;2 to 2 cups sugar (see note above)* Bring brine to a boil. Let boil gently as you fill jars. 1

Lois sent this as a thank you for all the good recipes sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten from this column. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My sister gave it to me,â&#x20AC;? she said.

COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD

Nell Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pickled peppers recipe. a cup, taste the brine, and go from there. (Someone told me you could also use Splenda). If you have extremely hot peppers, though, the 2 cups of sugar is not too much. My sister, Christine, makes my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big batch version of these and uses no sugar at all so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to you. As far as the yield, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember! It depends on the size of the peppers, whether you use quart or pint jars, etc.

Sterilizing jars

Wash canning jars and lids, then put jars in a big pan, covered with water. Bring to a boil and boil 15 minutes. (If your dishwasher is hot enough, use that to sterilize the jars). Keep in hot water until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to fill.

Brine

6 cups clear vinegar, 5 percent acidity

Wash. Leave whole with a slit down the center, or cut into slices as desired. I like to remove seeds if I slice them, but this is optional. Remember the membrane that the seeds are attached to is the hottest part of the pepper, and the seeds are the second hottest part. Place peppers in sterilized, hot jars, packing tightly. Pour boiling brine over, covering peppers. Add seasonings, such as garlic, bay leaf, herbs, etc. or leave plain. Wipe rims with wet cloth. Put lids on. No need to process these as the vinegar keeps bacteria out. Jars will seal on their own â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear little â&#x20AC;&#x153;pingsâ&#x20AC;? as the seal completes. Any that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seal just put in fridge. Chill in refrigerator before serving.

When I go out to the garden to pick peppers, I think of Nell Wilson, along with my sisters S o n i a E r v i n , Christine Lawson and Edith Hartwell. Nell is Ron Wilo n â&#x20AC;&#x2122; s Rita smom. Ron Heikenfeld is our garRitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen d e n i n g columnist and I met Nell years ago when I was a guest on Ronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radio show. Nellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pickled pepper recipe is one of the best. Sonia, Christine and Edith were the first of my sisters to learn to make pickled peppers from my mom. Mom made big batches of everything. Nellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version is for smaller batches, which are more doable for most of you. Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never canned, I hope you try a batch. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be glad you did when you compare the price of pickled peppers with home canned. The bonus is they make great gifts from the kitchen, and you know exactly whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in them.

As H1N1 flu continues to circulate both locally and nationally, Hamilton County Public Health is working to prepare for vaccine distribution as well as possible widespread illness this fall. Since 2001, public health agencies have been working hard to ensure we are prepared to handle emergency situations that might arise from natural disasters, terrorist attacks or disease pandemics. While governments and public health agencies are hard at work, there are things everyone can – and should – do to stay healthy. H1N1 virus seems to spread the same way seasonal flu spreads: Mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with flu. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. That’s why practicing proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette is critical: • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If soap and water are not near by, use an alcohol-based hand cleaner.

CH@TROOM Aug. 12 question

What are your favorite and least favorite memories from your school days?

“One of my favorite memories from school was of our plane geometry class. The teacher was a soft-spoken, patient nun and she made learning the subject really fun. “Least favorite memory would have to be the day when two of my classmates conspired to go to another classroom before school started and bring back a guy with whom I had an argument the previous day. “I was totally surprised when I looked up from my desk and saw them standing there. As I was standing up, he sucker punched me.” Bill B. “Going back to school in the fall when I was a child meant new shoes and school supplies that included new crayons and pencils. I loved the new box of crayons with the sharp ends! This was before computers, cell phones and calculators. “I also loved getting back in the classroom to see friends I hadn't seen all summer. This was before playdates and kids stayed in their own neighbors and parents didn't drive them to other neighborhoods. “I remember getting out my clothes the night before the first day and having a hard time getting to sleep because I was so excited to go back to school. I loved the teachers and the chalk boards and the books. “It was a long time ago, but nice to remember.” E.E.C. “Being hall monitor, having free roam of the playground which had lots of trees and sandboxes, after lunch you could buy a ticket for a nickel to see a movie in the auditorium (usually it was Laurel and Hardy serials) or you could choose to go to the library instead or you could just go home for lunch. No school buses; we walked come rain, shine, sleet, hail, snow. Our school lunches were 20 cents and all the pies were made there in the kitchen.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If a tissue is not available, use the inside of your elbow to cover your cough or sneeze, not your hands. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. • Try to avoid close contact with sick people. Try to stay six feet away from people who are coughing or sneezing. • If you are sick, you should stay home until you are feverfree, without the use of feverreducing medicine, for at least 24 hours. As we anticipate H1N1 and regular flu season, there are some additional ways to protect yourself and help stop the spread of disease in our community.

Next question What do you expect from the Bengals this season? Every week the Indian Hill Journal asks readers a question they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answers to indianhill@communitypress.com with Chatroom in the subject line. At one school I attended they were caught serving horse meat for hamburger! I liked art and gym and cooking and shop and hated everything else! If someone disrupted class by misbehaving they were sent down to the office and had their hands/bottom whacked! Sometimes the teacher did it and saved the principal the bother. Needless to say there were very few kids that acted up! But, lookout when he left the room as the spitballs and erasers went aflying. I still stay in touch with several school friends from fourth-grade.” Duke “My favorite and least favorite memories of school will be shared next week at Amelia’s 45th high school reunion. The dusty yearbook is never near-right and due to my age or whatever, a few less seats will be occupied at our reunion. “Personally and back then as a transfer for Withrow to Amelia – school was just great in sharing with my ‘first serious girl’ all the times in school activities, living for the moment, finding a haven of sorts in Witham Woods and looking forward to the weekends. “Least favorite memories include sitting in government class in November of 1963 and hearing over the school PA system that our president was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. “Also of memories back then was a paper required of a troubled country and of our early involvement. The country was Vietnam. I eventually went on to participate at the expense of higher education. I don’t remember my grade on the assignment, but I know the assignment to Vietnam changed my life. “When I look back, school of our age deserved innocence and growth. So many were cut short at an early age regardless of my so many fortunate memories.” J.W.

Crime victims have rights, too Criminal defendants have many well-known constitutional rights. These include the right to counsel, due process and speedy trial. Victims of crime in Ohio also have important legal rights. Police, prosecutors, judges and correction officials have a legal duty to consider the victim’s rights. Within a reasonable amount of time after an offender’s arrest the police must notify the victim of the offender’s arrest, the offender’s name and whether the offender is eligible for pre-trial release. The prosecutor in the case, to the extent practicable, must confer with the victim before agreeing to a plea bargain or dismissing any charges. Upon the victim’s request, the prosecutor must inform the victim of the date, time and place of any scheduled proceeding in the case.

The victim may be present whenever the defendant is present during any stage of the case conducted on the record other than Judge Brad grand jury proGreenberg ceedings or if Community necessary to a fair Press guest ensure trial. columnist The court shall make reasonable efforts to minimize contact between the victim and the defendant and their family members including providing separate waiting areas if available. The prosecutor is required to notify the victim of the defendant’s acquittal or conviction and the sentencing hearing. Before imposing sentence, the court must permit and consider

the victim’s statement about the impact of the crime and recommended sentence. The court must also permit and consider the victim’s statement before granting early release of the defendant. The victim may also request information from the jail or prison housing the defendant. If requested, the prison must notify the victim in advance of any parole hearing. The victim also must be notified of any escape, release or death of the inmate. Unfortunately, crime victims often feel that the justice system cares more about the rights of criminal defendants than victims. Victims of crime should know that they have legal rights too. The justice system must protect the rights of victims and the accused. Judge Brad Greenberg presides in Hamilton County Municipal Court.

The most important part of Indian Hill High School’s football season is the nonconference slate. The first three games of the season, against McNicholas, Valley View and Turpin Theisen h i g h schools, will more than likely decide the Braves’ postseason fate. Indian Hill lost two of their first three in 2008 and missed the playoffs. “A season can be made in those first three weeks,” new head coach Mike Theisen said. “We use last season as a motivating tool. Two of those first three games have to be victories for us.” The Braves have an extremely athletic squad in 2009 but have some big holes to fill in the trenches. Indian Hill graduated all but one starting lineman from 2008. “We have some extremely talented skill players that are back and we think we have some young kids that will step up on the line,” Theisen said. Among the returning skill players is running back Jacob Bauer. Bauer ran for 366 yards and six touch-

Game days

Aug. 28 Archbishop McNicholas Sept. 4 @ Valley View Sept. 11 Turpin Sept. 18 @ Deer Park Sept. 25 Madeira Oct. 2 Mariemont Oct. 9 Reading Oct. 16 @ Taylor Oct. 23 Finneytown Oct. 30 @ Wyoming All games at 7:30 p.m. downs in five games in 2008. Bauer had another 230 yards receiving and missed five games due to injury. Bauer is one of the top weapons for the Braves’ offense in 2009. “He had an excellent winter and summer and is looking extremely good,” Theisen said. “He’s a 1,500yard rusher if he stays healthy.”

The difficult job of replacing three-year quarterback Bo Cordell, who threw for almost 3,000 yards in 2008, belongs to Sam Hendricks. Hendricks is a gifted athlete who was second on the team in receiving in 2008. “He’s awfully talented and can throw well and can run the ball,” Theisen said. “He’s an extremely talented runner and we will be more run oriented than pass oriented this year.” The team also returns athletic wideout Adam Bell and a tall threat in receiver Kevin Krefting. The defense will be young for the Braves and will have to get up to speed quickly to be a factor in the team’s non-conference games. Theisen said the CHL should be much improved in 2009 as well. “Madeira is better, Mariemont is better and Wyoming will be an excellent football team,” he said. “I think everyone will be better and we won’t be able to walk through the league like the past four years.” Ultimately, Theisen said it boils down to the first three games of the season. “We need to make sure we’re at mid-season form in the first few weeks. We have no margin for error,” he said. “I’d rather it come down to the end of the season but for us it’s at the beginning.

Dietz brothers set to lead CCD By Anthony Amorini

aamorini@communitypress.com

All things offense will once again revolve around the brothers Dietz for the Cincinnati Country Day Indians. Senior running back Max Dietz is the “focal point” of the Indians’ offense after taking Division VI All State honors in Dunn 2008, head coach Tim Dunn said. Max received handoffs, pitches and passes from his older brother Alex Dietz, a 2009 graduate, last fall. Sophomore Jake Dietz takes over at quarterback

effective,” Dunn said of shifting to a sophomore Dietz at quarterback rather than a senior. “We hope we can pass a little to keep some balance, but we’ll see how it goes with a sophomore quarterback.” Judging from Alex’s and Max’s successes in 2008, Dunn hopes Jake hits the ground running, he said. Max led CCD with 1,163 yards rushing and 21 touchdowns last fall. He also accounted for 627 yards receiving. Alex threw for almost 1,200 yards and rushed for more than 400 yards as a senior. Senior running back Lawrence Ervin is also a

returning starter for the Indians. Ervin scored 36 points for the Indians as a junior. On the offensive line, seniors Matt Lesser and Clint Thomas are the only players returning for Dunn. “We don’t have a lot of size on the line and they are young,” Dunn said. “We will be depending a lot on the young guys on the line.” Defensively, Ervin returns to the Indians’ secondary after tallying 100 tackles including 75 unassisted in 2008. Junior inside linebacker Wyatt Tiffany finished with 74 tackles last fall and returns to anchor the Indians’ defense alongside Ervin, Dunn said. Lesser and Thomas, both defensive linemen, finished with 45 tackles and 40 tackles, respectively. Thomas also produced nine sacks for CCD. “I think we still have to grow a lot as a team,” Dunn said while looking forward to games against 2008 playoff teams including North College Hill, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy and Lockland. “We have to have a good night to beat any one of those three teams, but it would be nice,” Dunn added.

The 2009 Crusaders have considerably fewer as Moeller returns a considerable Rush amount of Division-I caliber talent and boasts a strong senior class, making the Crusaders one of the top Galvin teams in the city. “We’ve worked awfully hard in the weight room and the seniors have been great leaders in the winter and summer. With all the returning starters, we hope to have a lot of success,” Rodenberg said.

The offense should be balanced and will be led by Notre Dame-bound Andrew Hendrix. Hendrix threw for 1,609 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2008. Running backs Richie Dyer and Jeff Aubin combine to provide a talented running game for the Crusaders as the duo led the Moeller ground attack in 2008. The offensive line has a pair of strong standouts in Division I collegiate prospects Jeff Tanner and Ali Kassem. Ball State-bound tight end David Schneider should be a big target in the passing game as Schneider led the Crusaders in receiving touchdowns in 2008. Wideout Trent Williford is another receiver with big play capabilities. On defense, the Crusaders will be led by a

The defensive line is led by two Division I collegiate prospects, senior Marcus Rush and junior Jessie Hays. The linebackers for Moeller are led by another Division I collegiate prospect, Nick Galvin. Kendall Walker and Garret Mize are two more big-play linebackers for the Crusaders. Moeller also returns cornerback Ethan McAlpine, who was one of the leaders in interceptions in the GCL in 2008. The schedule will be tough again for Moeller in 2009. “People don’t call us ot play unless they are going to be pretty good,” Rodenberg said. “Our feeling is once we get to the playoffs, we are battle-tested.”

Moeller has tough games against Lakewood St. Edward and Winton Woods as well as a tough GCL slate. Elder is looked at as the other power in the GCL South in 2009, but Rodenberg said fans shouldn’t sleep on St. Xavier. “St. X has a chip on their shoulder and that scares me,” he said. “They aren’t used to struggling like they did last year and will come out guns blazing. Watch out for them.” Rodenberg said the 2009 Crusaders will be bigger, especially in the trenches and that the year of experience with the players has helped everyone get used to his system.

“Everyone knows where they fall in and where to go,” he said. “I’ve been real pleased with how things have worked out.” Rodenberg said the program puts a lot of pressure on itself to contend for a GCL title and a state title and that the Crusaders have their sights set on both in 2009. He also said that any team lives and dies with a senior class and that Moeller’s class of 2009 is a good one. “I really like the senior class,” he said. “They are positive and determined. I’m really pleased with this class and fans are going to see a good football team.”

Bombers look to bounce back By Tony Meale

tmeale@communitypress.com

MICHAEL E. KEATING/STAFF

Steve Specht hopes to lead the Bombers back to the postseason after missing the playoffs in 2008.

The Bombers have been there before – and now they want to get back. In December 2007, the St. Xavier High School football team capped its second undefeated season in three

years, won a state title and was widely considered one of the top teams in the country. In October 2008, the Bombers lost three of their last four regular season games – all by three points – and finished 4-6 and missed the playoffs.

“(Our players) want to forget about last year,” head coach Steve Specht said. “This is a new year with new opportunities.” Leading the renaissance will be senior quarterback Luke Massa, who suffered a broken collarbone at Louisville Trinity last September and was lost for the season. Providing protection up front is Matt James (6-8, 280), who is considered one of the top offensive lineman in the nation and is ranked the fourth-best overall player in the 2010 class by Ohio High Magazine. “(Massa and James) bring experience,” Specht said. “They both started on our ‘07 state team, and they understand the expectations of the program.” Other returning senior starters include Nick Weston (DB), Will Carroll (DB) and Nigel Muhammed (DL). St. X also hopes to get production from juniors Daniel Braswell (RB) and Steven Daniels (FB/LB), as well as seniors Jeff Kraemer (WR) and Alex Longi (WR/TE). “We’re still trying to fit the pieces of the puzzle,” Specht said. As has become the custom, the Bombers face a daunting schedule this season; in addition to their regular GCL foes, St. X will square off against Indianapolis Cathedral, Lakewood St. Edward and Cleve-

With such a tough weekto-week schedule, Specht remains focused on the big picture. “Our goal never changes – we want to get better,” he said. “I believe when you’re coaching kids, the goal should always be to get better. We’re trying to go 1-0 every week.” The Bombers will try to go 1-0 in their seasonopening showdown with Colerain at Nippert Stadium on Aug. 28. St. X came up short in that same setting last year, 13-8. “Colerain is one of the best teams in the state,” Specht said. “I think we’re going to go in and compete our tails off. Win, lose or

draw, (our fans) will be proud of us.”

Indian Hill Journal

Quilter stitches up blooming prize Get preview Quilter Gail Fischer of Indian Hill knew she found a top raffle prize the minute she saw fabric with roses, magnolias, daffodils, asters and pansies in rich, vibrant colors. Fischer and her sister, Jane Frontera of Corpus Christi, Texas, design a blossom-themed quilt each year to raffle at the annual Bloom for Stepping Stones, supporting programs for children and adults with disabilities. Fischer and Frontera turned that rich cotton fabric into the 2009 Bloom Quilt, to be raffled at the Bloom garden party on Aug. 29 at Stepping Stones Center in Indian Hill. The full-sized handpieced quilt features a lattice forming 18 â&#x20AC;&#x153;windows.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The colors are incredible,â&#x20AC;? said Fischer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This quilt would make a wonderful wall hanging too.â&#x20AC;? Fischer also creates quilts for the Interfaith Hospital Network, through a church-based quilting group at Hyde Park Community United Methodist Church. Fischer and her sister started quilting 14 years ago as a way to spend time together with their mother. The Bloom quilt is a joint effort. Fischer usually creates the designs, chooses the fabrics and cuts and pieces the colors. Frontera does the quilting with the help of long-arm quilting machine. The Bloom quilt is the top raffle prize at the Aug. 29 Bloom event. Other prizes include a pair of green amethyst and diamond earrings set in white gold, donated by The Fig Leaf, and a hot-air-balloonsightseeing ride for two, donated by Balloon Adventures. Raffle tickets are $25 or five for $100. Ticket buyers

Indian Hill Journal

Avoiding the dog-bite days of August standing a dog’s body language can make a difference when a child interacts with a dog. A child’s sudden movements could startle a dog and put him on the defensive. Barking, growling, stiff legs and hair standing up on the back are all signs a dog is unsafe. Children should: • Never approach a strange dog. Don’t make eye contact and back away slowly. • Never tease a dog. • Never sneak up on a dog that is eating or sleep-

ing. Animals may bite when they are frightened. • Always ask the owner’s permission before petting a dog. Let the dog sniff your hand, and then gently pet the dog’s back or sides. • Stay away from dogs that are chained, behind fences or in cars. They may be protective of their territory. • Never take bones, balls or other toys from a dog. Dogs are possessive. If a child is attacked by a dog, regardless of whether the animal is a family pet,

teaching the child what to do during an attack can minimize the risk and severity of the injury: • Drop to the ground. • Curl up in a ball. • Protect your head and face; cover your ears. • Try to remember what the dog looked like and where it went. “If you or your child is bitten by a dog, wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water and contact your family doctor right away,” Hamilton County Health Commissioner Tim Ingram said.

“It is also important that you contact Hamilton County Public Health so we can determine that the dog’s rabies vaccinations are up to date.” Ohio law requires that all animal bites be reported to the local health department and that the biting animal be quarantined for at least 10 days. In Hamilton County, but outside the cities of Cincinnati, Norwood, Sharonville, Springdale and St. Bernard, report bites to Hamilton County Public Health at 946-7832.

New archivist

The Terrace Park Historical Society has a new board member and archivist. Kim Newton, who lives at 809 Park Ave. with her husband, Jim Goodwin, and their twin sons, Jake and Gordon, was an archivist for the historical society in her former community. When relocating from Canfield in northern Ohio, she carefully researched where she might continue doing this type of work. “It was between Wyoming and Terrace Park,” Newton recalled, adding that she and her family are thrilled with their decision. Newton, who was elected to the TPHS board in May, has already brought fresh ideas and enthusiasm to the organization.

Dog bites are a largely preventable public health problem, yet 4.7 million Americans are bitten by a dog every year. Children are by far the most common victims but parents can teach children how to safely interact with dogs, and also learn what they should do if anyone is ever bitten by a dog. In Hamilton County from 2005-2007, 1,589 dog bites were reported, half of which occurred in children ages 0-19 years old. Understanding the right behavior to use and under-

Ohio Senate Republicans last week picked state Rep. Shannon Jones to become the newest member of the Senate, representing about 330,000 residents of Hamilton and Warren counties. Jones, of Springboro, was among four candidates who applied for the 7th District seat left vacant by the June 19 death of Sen. Bob Schuler. The Sycamore Township Republican died of cancer. Republicans represent 21 of the state’s 33 Senate districts, including this appointment “I look forward to working with my colleagues in the weeks and months ahead on the many challenges facing Ohio and pledge my best efforts to ensure the voice of my constituents is heard at the Statehouse,” Jones said. “I am honored and humbled to have been given the opportunity to represent the people of the 7th Senate District,” Jones said.

Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

self-described common citizen from Lebanon. Brinkman and Schneider were term-limited from the House in 2008 after serving eight years. Brinkman said he told the seven-member screening committee that they should have picked a separate “placeholder’’ appointee – someone not interested in seeking the job permanently. Then the others could seek voter approval in next spring’s primary election. “At least then you have at least some public participation,’’ Brinkman said. “They are going to hurt feelings and disenfranchise 330,000 people.’’ Jones will get a head start by running next year as an incumbent state senator for a full four-year term – which pays a base annual salary of $60,584. The 7th Senate District is heavily Republican: Schuler was re-elected in 2006 over Democrat Rick Smith with 62 percent of the vote. The seat covers eastern Hamilton County and all of Warren County.

Quilter stitches up blooming prize Get preview

Quilter Gail Fischer of Indian Hill knew she found a top raffle prize the minute she saw fabric with roses, magnolias, daffodils, asters and pansies in rich, vibrant colors. Fischer and her sister, Jane Frontera of Corpus Christi, Texas, design a blossom-themed quilt each year to raffle at the annual Bloom for Stepping Stones, supporting programs for children and adults with disabilities. Fischer and Frontera turned that rich cotton fabric into the 2009 Bloom Quilt, to be raffled at the Bloom garden party on Aug. 29 at Stepping Stones Center in Indian Hill. The full-sized handpieced quilt features a lattice forming 18 â&#x20AC;&#x153;windows.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The colors are incredible,â&#x20AC;? said Fischer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This quilt would make a wonderful wall hanging too.â&#x20AC;? Fischer also creates quilts for the Interfaith Hospital Network, through a church-based quilting group at Hyde Park Community United Methodist Church. Fischer and her sister started quilting 14 years ago as a way to spend time together with their mother. The Bloom quilt is a joint effort. Fischer usually creates the designs, chooses the fabrics and cuts and pieces the colors. Frontera does the quilting with the help of long-arm quilting machine. The Bloom quilt is the top raffle prize at the Aug. 29 Bloom event. Other prizes include a pair of green amethyst and diamond earrings set in white gold, donated by The Fig Leaf, and a hot-air-balloonsightseeing ride for two, donated by Balloon Adventures. Raffle tickets are $25 or five for $100. Ticket buyers
