Members at home on range Shooting club just as popular now as ever By Rob Dowdy
rdowdy@communitypress.com
The Indian Hill Shooting Club opened its doors for members in 1958, and the club remains just as popular now as ever. The club, located on state Route 126 near the Indian Hill Water Public Works facility, currently has approximately 450 members, with a waiting list for non-residents that can take more than three years to gain membership. The shooting club features two skeet fields, a trap field, a rifle range and a pistol range. The skeet fields are under lights for nighttime use, and informal lessons are occasionally given to inexperienced marksmen by those who’ve seen and shot it all. “In this particular game, repetition is the teacher,” said Tom Kanis, manager of the Indian Hill Shooting Club. The club has a 50/50 membership ratio of residents to non-residents, meaning whenever a resident gains membership, a nonresident is taken off the waiting list. This can take years, Kanis said, as the waiting list includes hundreds of names. Kanis said everyone from Vietnam veterans to former members of Indian Hill High School’s Rifle Club to teenagers use the shooting club on a regular basis to hone their skills. He said the club occasionally has lessons and events to garner interest, but most people just come to shoot the targets and challenge themselves. “They’re all just ordinary folks down here,” Kanis said.

Indian Hill resident and artist Leslie Shiels has exhibits in four states this summer, with her next stop being the Carnegie Arts Center in Covington, where more than 50 images from her “BirdHeads” series will be on display.
Artist Leslie Shiels has seen her work on exhibit across the country, and in coming weeks she’ll be displaying many more new pieces much closer to home. The Indian Hill resident’s work is currently being shown at Appalachian State University in North Carolina and she recently was part of an exhibit in Monroe, La. Soon, she’ll be featured at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum in Wisconsin and at the Carnegie Arts Center in Covington, Ky. Shiels said she’s probably most
excited about the Covington exhibit, which will feature more than 50 new images, many of which have not been seen before the exhibit opens Sept. 11. She said many of the exhibits she’s taken part in, like the ones she’s featured in this summer, are away from the area. Shiels said her local fans to be able to see what she’s been working on in recent months. As for the remainder of the exhibits that have featured her artistic work Shiels said it’s always an honor to be a part of art exhibitions. “It’s nice to be asked and it’s nice to be accepted,” she said.

Indian Hill nears deal on land near Grand Valley By Rob Dowdy
In other news
rdowdy@communitypress.com
The Indian Hill Village Council is moving forward with plans to lease land near Grand V a l l e y Nature Preserve. Council last week voted to Burns allow City Manager Mike Burns to enter into an agreement to lease approximately 40 acres of land from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The agreement has been discussed between the two sides for several months, with the village interested in the lease in order to maintain the property. Councilman Keith Rabenold said revisions to
Here’s a look at other topics of discussion during last week’s Indian Hill Village Council meeting: • Council voted to allow Mayor Eppa Rixey to sign a three-party contract with the state auditor and independent public accountants to audit the financial records of the village. This is a mandatory agreement that must be made every five years with new independent accountants. • Council approved a recommendation by City Manager Mike Burns to replace
two 15-year-old above-ground fuel tanks at the Indian Hill Public Works facility. The tanks have begun corroding on the inside, and have caused problems for the public works staff. Burns said the lowest bid he’s seen is about $20,500. • Construction work on the police department’s portion of the Indian Hill administration building is nearly complete. Work will soon begin on the administration side of the building and should last until the end of the year.
the agreement were recently accepted by the state, and the agreement is ready to be signed. “Everything looks good on that and it should be completed very shortly,” he said. The land is located along
the river on the east side of Grand Valley Nature Preserve. It’s about 300 feet wide and 600 feet beyond Grand Valley’s lake. Much of the talk between the Department of Natural Resources and the village the past few months has revolved around language issues within the agreement. City Manager Mike Burns said the most significant change to the language in the lease agreement was a 180-day “out clause,” which he said is a safety measure in case the village decides against maintaining the property. He said that was unlikely, though he did warn council that people will be using this land to enter the Little Miami River, which is something the Grand Valley staff will have to prepare for, since entrance into the nature preserve is restricted to village water customers and residents. “We will probably see some people on the property,” Burns said.

Church to offer ‘Divorce Care’ to help people cope By Rob Dowdy rdowdy@communitypress.com
Breaking up is hard to do, and no one knows that more than divorcees, which is why Armstrong Chapel is hosting a program to help the recently divorced. “Divorce Care” is a 13week program that addresses the issues and offers solutions associated with divorce. Each two-hour session, beginning Sept. 8, is free and features experts on topics ranging from loneliness to new relationships. Melanie Stearns, an organizer for the program at Armstrong, said there will be two local women who have either dealt with divorce and or have a counseling background hosting each session. The program is open to

the community and those interested can attend one or all the self-contained sessions. “We want it to be broader than our congregation,” Stearns said. The “Divorce Care” program is actually a national program that acts as an educational experience for
those dealing with divorce issues as well as a support group where those in need can lean on others in a similar situation. Stearns said the program got its start at Armstrong due to members of the church inquiring about help with divorce issues. She said the church hopes by opening the program up to the community they’ll be able to help even more people dealing with this delicate issue. “It just kind of helps you deal with it instead of pretending,” Stearns said.

Miscues hurt Indian Hill in opener By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
Missed opportunities was the theme to Indian Hill’s first game of the season, a 28-21 loss to McNicholas at home. Two dropped touchdown passes, a dropped punt, too many penalties, three drives that ended in the McNick red zone. The Braves will have to get things corrected quickly, as Indian Hill has a big game Friday at Valley View. “We made too many mistakes,” new Indian Hill coach Mike Theisen said. “You can’t make mistakes like that against a good team. McNick is a tough team, and we knew they would play hard.” The defense gave up four rushing touchdowns to McNick quarterback Matt Staubach and the Rockets outgained the Braves (0-1) on the ground 326-182. “The defense did not play very well,” Theisen said. “We need to evaluate things there. We didn’t do the little things necessary to win.” Theisen was also unhappy with the six penalties on the offensive line. “We have a lot of work to do,” Theisen said. “We need to eliminate the mental errors if we’re going to beat Valley View.” One area that did have Theisen pleased was the play of senior quarterback Sam Hendricks.

He threw for 106 yards on 11 of 27 passing. “Sam played excellent,” Theisen said. “He’s an athlete, he can make plays for us.” Indian Hill running back Jacob Bauer ran for 67 yards and a touchdown in the first half before sitting out the second with a meniscus pull. Theisen said he didn’t think the injury changed the outcome of the game. The loss puts the Braves in a tough spot as Indian Hill will likely need to win its next two games, at Valley View and home against Turpin, to keep their playoff hopes alive. There were signs of hope for the Braves as the offense was effective at times and slight miscues disrupted several other drives.

Indian Hill, CCD girls’ soccer back By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The high school girls’ soccer season is in full swing and several local teams will fight for league championships in 2009.
Indian Hill
The Indian Hill girls’ soccer team has some strong experience and leadership returning from a 9-5 2008 team. The team will look to senior captain Katelin Randall and seniors Courtney Lucien and Sara Matasick for leadership. The Braves

Indian Hill’s Katelin Randall, left and Madeira’s Leah Raming battle for the ball during a game in 2008. Raming and Randall will be two of the top players in the CHL in 2009.
The Braves started the season with a 2-2 tie against Summit Country Day and a 5-1 win over Clark Montessori. “We will field a younger than average roster but our youth comes with a lot of energy and potential,” head coach Amy Dunlap, in her 11th season as head coach said. “We should have a much more attacking mentality this season and we’re excited about surprising some teams with our new roster given the depth we graduated last year.”
Cincinnati Country Day
Eight starters returning on the heels of a 14-3-3 season has generated quite a bit of optimism for 20thyear head coach Theresa Hirschauer. In addition to winning 14 games, CCD also a Miami Valley Conference title and a sectional championship in 2008. CCD posted an undefeated record of 6-0 during MVC play last fall. Returning starters for CCD include senior Corey Tipton (midfielder), senior Xanni Brown (forward), senior Liza Cohen (defender), junior Alexandra McInturf (forward), junior Jamie Huelskamp and junior Alexis Victor.
Sophomores Sirena Isadore (midfielder) and Ari Knue (defender) will also be key contributors. Tipton and McInturf were both named to the All City and All MVC teams in 2008. Brown, a senior captain, was named to the All MVC squad. “(We are) very excited to bring back eight starters from last year’s team,” Hirschauer said via e-mail. “(We have) a good mix of veteran players with younger players excited for some playing time.”
CHCA
Dave Sauve will field a particularly young team as he enters his 10th year as head coach of the Eagles. Sauve led CHCA to a 77-2 finish last season but returns just three starters – Michele Tobeson, Darcie Dixon and Anna Marie Vandenberg. Several newcomers, however, hope to make an impact; among them are midfielder Heather Morrison, striker Anna Love and sweeper Alison Lehky. “We are a very young team with half the program being freshmen,” Sauve said. “We will struggle early, but as the team learns to play together, we will get stronger.”

MND
The Cougars suffered a plethora of season-ending injuries in 2008 and finished the year at 5-7-5. But with eight returning starters from a team that lost only one senior, the Cougars have the talent and depth to be competitive. Head coach Doug Conway said his girls expect to have a winning season, finish no worse than third in the GGCL-Scarlet division and make a deep run in the state tournament. Leading the way will be four seniors – defenders Chelsea Murphy and Fallon Wujek (three assists in 2008) and midfielders Samantha Gaier (four goals) and Lacie Oliver (five goals). Junior defender Carolyn
Hartman and sophomore midfielder Sally Beiting (one goal) will also play pivotal roles for MND this season, as will freshman forward Rose Lavelle. “(Lavelle) has amazing quickness and is a real goal scorer,” Conway said. Perhaps the Cougars’ toughest challenge this year will come when they play two-time defending state champion and league rival St. Ursula in the final game of the regular season Oct. 14.
Ursuline
A quintet of Ursuline Academy players already committed to collegiate programs can focus on playing soccer instead of worrying about life beyond high school this fall. After finishing at 13-1-4 in 2008, nine starters return to the pitch for 11th-year head coach Colleen Dehring. The seniors committed to collegiate programs are all returning starters and include Monica Melink (Indiana University, soccer), Ali Backscheider (Butler University, soccer), Mary Allen (Butler University, soccer) and Desirae Ball (St. Louis University, basketball). Junior Gabby Hausfeld, also a returning starter, is committed to the collegiate program at Ohio University. “This team is a very cohesive unit,” Dehring said via e-mail. “The work well together, have great chemistry and respond to critique and criticism well.” Additional returning starters for Ursuline include senior Molly Allen, senior Bea Hobson, junior Katie Ford and sophomore Erika Wolfer. Ursuline took second place in its Girls’ Greater Catholic League Scarlet Division last fall with a 2-03 conference record. Saint Ursula Academy (20-0-3, 3-0-2) won the GGCL Scarlet Division title before going on to win its second-consecutive Division I state championship in 2008. Ursuline took first place in the GGCL Scarlet Division before Saint Ursula made its run to the state championships in 2007. Ball has been Ursuline’s leading scorer since her freshman year. Last spring, Ball led Ursuline with 32 points including 14 goals and four assists. “If she can stay healthy, she will be a force up top,” Dehring said of Ball. Despite missing half of the 2008 season with multiple fractures in her arm, Melink went on to score 19 points for Ursuline with nine goals and one assist. Backscheider controls Ursuline’s defense as the Lions’ “strongest, most vocal player on the team,” Dehring said. Hausfeld and Allen are midfielders.

Boys’ soccer takes the field for ’09 season The high school boys soccer season is underway and several local teams should be in contention for league titles.
Indian Hill
The Indian Hill boys’ soccer team went 12-6 in 2008 and finished as the district runner-up. The 2009 Braves will have a tougher road to follow that finish as Indian Hill will work on replacing the 14 seniors who graduated from the ’08 team. Indian Hill does return starting goalkeeper Brandon Ward and starting forward Alec Weiner. The team has a host of promising new players, including seniors Michael Fiore and Rip Krehbiel and juniors Jackson Kirk, Alex Sneider and Eric Sahlfeld. “We’ll be looking to our youth to fill key positions,” said head coach Bill Mees. “The work ethic and effort have been very strong. This is a team that has great potential.”

Cincinnati Country Day
A mix of returning starters and talented newcomers aim to improve upon Cincinnati Country Day’s 5-11-3 record from 2008. Returning starters for the 2009 campaign include senior captain Jessup Smith (forward), senior captain Fabrizio Aguirre (defense), senior captain Isaac Guttman (defense), senior captain JR Strubbe (keeper, midfielder), senior Nick Brown (midfielder), senior Brian Cofer (midfielder), junior Ryan Galloway (keeper), senior Fletcher Pease (midfielder), junior Balder Tangvald (midfielder) and sophomore Tyler Spaeth (midfielder). “CCD boys soccer should be improved from (the) 2008 season,” 18th-year head coach Greg Hirschauer said via e-mail. “Many young players have another year of experience and (we have) some good new additions to our program. “(This team has a) lot of potential but we have to work hard and play as a team to achieve (maximum) success,” Hirschauer
“Craig has exceptional skill and puts himself in the right place,” Stinson said. “Andrew is a tough workhorse that never stops working and is tough to get around. Anchoring the defense will be Joe Riefenberg, an exceptional tackler with 4.7 speed, and Jack McIver, who excels in the counter attack.
sively is forward Peter Riewald, who will wreak havoc on defenses this season. “He’s a very strong forward that will score and set up a lot of goals for us this year,” head coach George Stinson said. Craig McGinlay and Andrew Amend, meanwhile, will command the midfield.

The Moeller Crusaders return 12 lettermen from a team that went 10-5-3 in 2008 and could be a team to watch for the next few seasons as Moeller has only seven seniors. The team returns six starters, including tri-captains defender Joe Breitenbach, forward Thomas Devore and goalkeeper Ben Peterson. The team also returns junior defender Luke Guju and sophomores Jeffrey Fuller and Raymond Roberts. Junior Luke Agricola and sophomore C.J. Polack are the top newcomers on the varsity team. “We have a young team that will improve with experience,” said head coach Randy Hurley. “Our biggest strength is our depth and work ethic.”
CHCA
The CHCA Eagles enjoyed their eighth straight winning season last year, but it didn’t come easy. CHCA went 6-6-5 and finished third in the Miami Valley Conference. This year, however, the Eagles are focused on capturing a league title, which they last won in 2007. Leading the way offen-
CHCA figures to be in the hunt for a league title with Summit and Seven Hills. “The team came into the preseason training at a higher level that last year and playing exceptionally well in our preseason tournaments,” Stinson said. “If we can maintain that high level of play, we should be one of the top teams in the state.”

Aug. 26 question
Do you think legalizing casino gambling will hurt charitable events and fundraisers such as Monte Carlo nights and church festivals? “Nobody knows if Casinos will hurt chairitable events because nobody knows who to believe. Casino opponents say because the proposed constitutional amendment expressly allows bingo, lottery games and horse-race betting, any other form of gambling in Ohio would automatically be banned if Ohio voters approve Issue 3. On the other side you have former Cincinnati Mayor Charlie Luken (the new poster boy for allowing casino’s) saying that Casino’s in Ohio will not restrict charitable gambling, including church festivals. So how do we answer this question without knowing what is true and what is false? Let’s say that Church festivals and Las Vegas nights can still have gambling if issue 3 passes. If that’s the case, then no, they will not suffer at all. These events only occur a few times a year, and only a handful of people go to church festivals with the sole purpous of gambling. Those people will continue to stay local and play at the festivals. But if issue 3 does in fact make chairitable gambling illegal, then yes, churches and other fundraising groups will suffer big time. An analysis by the Enquirer last month found that summer Roman Catholic parish festivals generate $12 million in revenue in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. That number will greatly reduce if they are unable to operate casino games. So there is no right or wrong answer to this question because we don’t know how to answer it. I for one hope issue 3 passes and churches can keep their gambling. But if they can’t I’m ok with that too. I only gamble a few times a year. But I would like the option of going whenever I want and not having to wait for summer festivals. And I would like to do this without having to spend my money in Indiana. The Catholic church is the richest most powerfull business in the world. They will find a way to survive.” T.Z. “Most people attend church bingo, Monte Carlo nights and church festivals for social reasons. These events are local and gambling is secondary. People who want to gamble in casinos want to gamble, not socialize and they are willing to travel a distance to do it. I believe the effect will be small.” F.D. “It is interesting to reflect on the metamorphosis of gambling in the U.S. during my lifetime. When I was a kid, lottery tickets were an evil no-no (though illegal numbers games thrived in urban areas). The only place a person could gamble outside his home

Oh, and there were those inexplicable anomalies like Beverly Hills, in northern Kentucky, where somehow casino gambling, though illegal, could go on. As in so many other areas of life, once the genie is out of the bottle, there is no going back. Casino gambling is probably going to continue to grow, unless the economy gets so bad that the people who patronize casinos can no longer afford it. I have a non-scientific hunch that the people who gamble at booths at festivals are of a different breed than those who go to the casinos, however. I suspect that those festivals will continue to thrive, even if casino gambling spreads to more places.” Bill B. “I’m not a gambler and am definitely not in favor of Casino’s in our area, but I really don’t believe, even if they are approved, that casinos will have an impact on small venues that include gambling. I suspect that people believe in and support their local charities and will continue in that effort. There is a personal camaraderie and community spirit that these events provide over and above the gambling component. L.D. “I don’t think casino gambling will hurt church festivals and charitable events, as these are limited events and draw their own patrons who are loyal to the organization or cause, but I do think casino gambling will do widespread and serious harm to our society. Casino gambling does not benignly create wealth or profit; it takes money from those who are often least able to afford it. Gambling addiction is real, and on the rise - a problem that brings untold misery to families affected by it. I am firmly opposed to casinos and slot machines at racetracks and other venues.” J.B. “The casinos in Indiana are 20-30 minutes away from the Cincinnati area. They are not affecting local charitable events and fundraisers here or there. “Those casinos bring in large tax revenues to Indiana and their local communities. Ohio could be reaping those same tax revenues and helping itself out of the tax shortfall it currently has. “The guess here is Cincinnati will have the tax drain of two stadiums while Kentucky joins Indiana with enhanced gaming capabilities. So then even MORE Ohioans can spend their money in adjoining states. Go figure!!!” T.D.T.

Ethics helps determine our reflection in mirror Before we start casting stones it is always a good idea to consider all of the issues, including our own. Yes, I know, but I taught ethics and am now very involved in medical ethics. For clarification, medical ethics is no different than any other type of ethics other than sometimes lives and medical advancements are at stake. This merely makes it critical. My question for you is whether you think common folks (I consider myself as one) are to be held to a lesser standard than “elite” people of various callings. For the purpose of this essay consider that you have the opportunity to commit some ethical lapse and there is little possibility that you will be caught. In the course of our lives, we all face some tempting situations. Take some time to think this over. OK, time is up! Consider all the reasons why you would not do this. Now, think about all the reasons why you might be tempted. Let’s face it. There are some situations where we might submit to this temptation. Sometimes, it is our financial situation that forces a tough decision. Would you fault a poor single mother who has a hungry baby for doing what a more fortunate person would not have to do? Would you blame her because her poor choices might have
caused the problem in the first place? Did our society either cause or allow her to make bad decisions? What we Edward Levy learn from this Community exercise is that Press guest sometimes bad choices columnist ethical are made for many reasons. Some of them may make the decision reasonable to many people. Many of us would still fault the mother of the starving baby. Where most of us would agree is the recent scandal in New Jersey. People who have positions of trust should have the same ethical standards as the rest of us, but they should, by virtue of that trust hold themselves to higher public scrutiny. Now we are getting to my point. We cannot control the ethical decisions of others, but we are very much in charge of our own ethics. A clear example is how crooked politicians stay in office. The same is true for religious leaders. This is our fault. We should demand better ethics and punish wrongdoers. Let’s take a self examination of our ethical standards. When our desire for money or fame becomes more important than our own eth-

We have only to look at the people who have made news lately to see that greed is the proper term to use for them. Most of us would rather lead a straight and modest life than to worry about who is watching us and why. This is not to vilify those who become wealthy or famous by legitimate means. They most often perform a service to society. They create wealth for others by their lifestyle. What really matters is when we can look in the mirror and say “this is someone I am proud of.” Edward Levy is a longtime resident of Montgomery and a former college instructor.
Honored to represent district Last month, I had the honor of being sworn in as the senator for the 7th Senate District. The experience has been bittersweet. Though I am extremely proud to have been selected from an impressive field of candidates, I will be taking the place of former State Sen. Bob Schuler, who passed away at the end of June after three decades of service to Southwest Ohio. Bob Schuler embodied what it means to be a good public servant. I pledge to work hard every day to live up to the standard he set. Since 2007, I have served as the state representative for the 67th House District, representing the western portion of Warren County. My appointment as the senator for the 7th Senate District means I will be serving three times the number of constituents I did in the Ohio House, including all of Warren County and the eastern portion of Hamilton County, which includes Amberley Village, Anderson Township, Columbia Township, Fairfax, Indian Hill, Loveland, Madeira, Mariemont, Milford, Newtown, Sycamore Township, Symmes Township, Terrace Park and portions of the city of Cincinnati. To those who reside outside of my former house district, I think introductions are in order. I was born in the state of Delaware, but have lived in Southwest Ohio for nearly all of my life. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati and Russell, my husband of 15 years, and I are raising our two children, Jacob, 10, and Anna, 5, in Springboro. We are members of St. Mary Parish in Franklin, and don’t be surprised to see us rooting on the Panthers at Springboro football games and wrestling matches. Despite the economic challenges we face, I believe Southwest Ohio is
the best place to raise a family. My highest priority in the state Senate will be to ensure our business climate is conducive for attracting jobs Sen. Shannon and economic Jones development so more genCommunity many erations can Press guest afford to stay in columnist the communities we love. For many years before putting my own name on the ballot, I worked behind the scenes with a number of area elected officials, including U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot, then-State Treasurer Joe Deters, U.S. Rep. Mike Turner and U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine. These experiences strengthened my belief in the tenets of representative democracy. I fully recognize that my success in Columbus on behalf of our region is largely dependent on getting feedback and input from residents of Hamilton and Warren counties. I encourage you to contact my office with any ideas, opinions and concerns, or if you need help with a state agency or service. Though I plan to spend much of my time in the district actively seeking out your input, you are also welcome to stop by my Columbus office if I can ever be of assistance. Legislatively, I must confess that I have a penchant for getting involved in a diverse assortment of complex issues. I worked with Sen. Schuler on the energy bill last General Assembly. The goal was to ensure Ohio would not experience dramatic spikes in electricity costs that other

states have experienced, while making progress toward promoting more energy efficiency and taking responsible steps to include more renewable energy sources as part of the state’s energy portfolio. As the former assistant majority whip in the Ohio House, I also became the House’s point person on Medicaid issues. This is an area of our budget that has grown significantly in recent years to the point where if we do not get serious about cost containment, it could severely impact the state’s ability to provide funding for other top priorities, like our schools or lead to a tax increase at the worse possible time. In the aftermath of the “Joe the Plumber” scandal where state agency officials scoured the personal information of a private citizen who had spoken out against the candidate they supported, I sponsored the bill that placed new restrictions on how state agencies may access the information Ohioans entrust to them. Working closely with Children’s Hospitals from around the state, I also sponsored the bill, now law, that requires children between the ages of 4-8 and under 4-feet, 9inches tall to be properly restrained in a booster seat in an effort to prevent serious and sometimes fatal injuries. I am a voracious reader, pragmatic, a fiscal conservative and anxious to get to work. I look forward to meeting you in the months and weeks ahead. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me if I can ever be of assistance. Contact State Sen. Shannon Jones at 614-466-9737, via e-mail: sd07@senate.state.oh.us or by mail: State Sen.

How do we deal with the unfairness of life? Sooner or later we know that life is not fair. It never was. It never will be. Though that fact infuriates us at times, we are powerless to change it. Rather, it presents us with the challenge of what to do with such a life or with the cynical attitude it often engenders. Even though we may be religious-minded people, God does not step in to make our lives fair. Earth is not heaven. Earth is not where all unfairness is righted. As analyst Robert A. Johnson puts it, “The world is not supposed to work. All it does effectively is produce consciousness.” It is to wake us up before we die. It is to create situations that can potentially form us by how we choose and how our egos
deal with the inequities that surround us. Spiritually we are called upon to discover that life is a mystery and a paradox. We’re forged by it, formed by it, made whole by it. Unfairness is such a part of the fabric of life that the most noble spiritual leaders who have lived among us have all been treated unfairly. In fact, it contributed to their nobility. Are we to expect to be treated better than they? Do they not try to teach us how to transcend unfairness? One of the important questions we must ask ourselves at times – and which serves as an indicator of whether we’re becoming cynical through our experience of unfairness, or more whole – is, “How do I behave in the face of things I cannot change? In the face
of things that are obviously unfair?” One of the best real-life examples in someone else’s life was the example George Will wrote of years ago in Newsweek. It was about his son Jon, the oldest of four children. Jon had just turned 21 years old and his father characterized him as a happy and active young man. Yet a crucial fact was that Jon has Down syndrome. George wrote, “… this is a chromosomal defect involving degrees of mental retardation and physical abnormalities.” Then we wrote of his son’s condition words we might all remember, “Jon lost, at the instant he was conceived, one of life’s lotteries, but he was also lucky. “His physical abnormalities do not impede his vitality and
his retardation is not so severe that it interferes with life’s essential joys – receiving love, returning it, and reading baseball box scores. Jon has seen a brother two years younger surpass him in size, get a driver’s license, and leave for college, and although Jon would be forgiven for shaking his fist at the universe, he has been equable. I believe his serenity is grounded in his sense that he is a complete Jon and that is that.” George Will and his family evidently love son Jon very much. He approaches head-on the unfairness of life
wrought in their own family, and for Jon, accepting the fact that, through no fault of his own, “Jon lost one of life’s lotteries.” It’s most probable that you and I have already lost some of life’s various lotteries, and may lose some more. Does that need to be an utter catastrophe? In fact, it is not winning all the lotteries that most tests our mettle. There’s a short prayer we might offer for ourselves when life’s unfairness gets in our face: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the
things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

So I contacted the termite extermination company, which sent out an independent inspector. He found inactive termite mud tubes and signs of other destructive insects still in the crawlspace. He concluded moisture, as well as termites, caused more than $9,300 damage to the house. The termite treatment company told me it values its long relationship with the Harpring family and so has agreed to pay for the full amount of repairs – both

When you own a home, it’s always a good idea to get regular termite inspections to prevent possible infestation. But a Tristate couple who got termite treatment 10 years ago, and regular inspections since then, says they were shocked to find termites had returned with a vengeance. Debbie Harpring and her husband, Todd, had bought a termite inspection and protection plan and recently started remodeling their bedroom. “The contractor said, ‘What is that dip in your floor?’ We had to take everything out of the room. Todd said, ‘I don’t know, never noticed it – that’s where the bed has always been.’ They said well, we’ve got termites,” Debbie said. The termites were in the same spot back in 1999. At the time of that last treatment the Harprings had bought inspection and damage repair plans, so they called the termite treatment company. “The inspector came out and informed us right away it was not their problem, it was our problem because there’s too much moisture,” Debbie said. The moisture is in the crawlspace underneath their house and it’s that moisture that attracts termites. Yet, the contract with the treatment company specifically excludes coverage if there’s moisture. “I didn’t know if we had moisture before or after. I had no idea because nobody ever said anything to us about moisture being in the crawlspace,” Debbie said. The termite treatment company had conducted inspections three times a year – but they were only checking a termite baiting system located in areas around the house. No one ever checked under the home, in the crawlspace where the termites had been found in the past. There is an access panel to the crawlspace right out back so no one has to be home for the inspectors to check. Debbie Harpring said she was quite surprised to learn termites are back and that they had done considerable damage to her home. This occurred even though she was supposed to

Reader spills the beans with Napa recipe
I was in a meeting the other day when a colleague told me how nice I looked in my magenta and black suit and trendy peep-toe heels. I had to laugh because had he seen me a few hours earlier in tank top and shorts digging potatoes he might Rita have had Heikenfeld a different opinion. Rita’s kitchen But I think I’m a lot like most of you: one look for the professional side and one for the personal side. It’s the personal side that helps keep me balanced in my high-tech world. I guess that’s why today was a perfect day: up early, feed the chickens, pull weeds from the garden, hang clothes on the line with enough time left to can peaches and make wild elderberry and rose petal jellies.
Labor Day’s almost here and I’ve got some good recipes for your celebration.
Napa Valley baked beans
Indian Hill reader Clare Ackerman shared this recipe recently. “Always a hit,” she said. Stir together: 1 can each: kidney, pinto, baked beans, French cut green string beans (drained) 1 jar chili sauce 1 ⁄2 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon or so Worcestershire sauce Bake at 325 degrees for about two hours or so, uncovered. Cover when beans start to thicken, stir occasionally.
My attempt at Uno’s salad dressing
Clermont County reader Monica Friedl loves the blueberry pomegranate vinaigrette dressing from
Uno’s in Anderson Township. Rick Arbic, kitchen manager/chef told me the salad is an iceberg and romaine mix and they add cucumber, tomato and onion, a couple ounces of Gorgonzola and some candied walnuts which they purchase from a vendor. Uno’s dressing is from its food service. Rick told me it has blueberry purée, vinegar, sugar, oil, etc. It’s hard to re-create restaurant dishes – that’s why I always tell you to enjoy them there.
1 cup pomegranate blueberry juice (Kroger has it) 1 tablespoon red onion or more to taste White wine or rice vinegar – start with a tablespoon 1 ⁄2 teaspoon garlic minced Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil or soybean oil (Uno’s contains soybean) or more to taste Reduce juice to 1⁄4 cup. Let cool. Whisk in rest of ingredients.
My candied nuts
Any nut works here. Uno’s uses walnuts 1 egg white from large egg 1 tablespoon water 1 bag nuts (anywhere from 10-16 ounces) 1 cup sugar 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt Cinnamon if you like – start with a couple good shakes. Preheat oven to 250 degrees and spray cookie sheet. Mix sugar, salt and cinnamon. Set aside. Whisk egg white and water until frothy. Add nuts and coat evenly then toss in sugar mixture until coated. Pour in single layer on sheet and bake 45 minutes to an hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool and store covered at room temperature.
Rita’s roasted garlic quinoa salad dressing
Carol Yeazell of Springfield Township needs a
recipe for the quinoa salad dressing at Whole Foods in Rookwood. Here’s one I use for quinoa and bulgur wheat salad. I’m thinking a squirt of Dijon mustard would be excellent, too. 1
⁄2 to 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled Lemon juice to taste (start with 2-3 tablespoons) 2-3 tablespoons canola oil 3 ⁄4 to 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 clove garlic, minced (roasted or not) Chopped mint to taste (optional but so good) Salt and pepper to taste Whisk juice, canola, cumin and garlic together. Taste for seasonings. Cook one cup of quinoa, let it cool and toss with dressing. Stir in mint and feta. Chill.
Can you help?

The Cincinnati Union Terminal has welcomed more than 150 million visitors since its opening in 1933. Capturing memories from the millions who have passed through Union Terminal’s doors is the main feature of a new Web site to support Cincinnati Museum Center’s tax levy campaign. Myunionterminal.org asks visitors to “Be a Star for Union Terminal,” encouraging them to post personal stories and photos, view other visitors’ memories and learn more about Union Terminal and Cincinnati Museum Center. The Web site was designed and programmed
by Cincinnati-based Landor Associates, an internationally recognized branding firm. “This Web site has the potential to capture and preserve some amazing stories,” said Douglass W. McDonald, president and CEO of Museum Center. “Every day we hear about people’s wonderful connections to Union Terminal and we’re happy that many of these memories will now be located in one place.” In an attempt to engage as many people as possible, the Web site uses the ShareThis widget, an application quickly gaining popularity on the Web.
ShareThis lets individuals share content to all of their profiles, blogs, friends and contacts, and is compatible with a wide variety of social networks and email options, including Facebook, Twitter, Digg, MySpace and many others. “We want this Web site to be place where people can connect and feel connected by sharing and reading similar and yet very different experiences with this amazing building,” said McDonald. In addition to capturing memories, www.myunionterminal.org also is being used as a place for individuals to become educated on Museum Center’s upcoming

fall campaign. While the details are not yet clear, Museum Center hopes to be on the ballot this November. As with any structure standing for more than 75 years, Union Terminal is in need of significant repair and Museum Center is working to find funding sources to help pay for the estimated $120 million in necessary repairs. One source critical to preserving Union Terminal will be public funding. “Tax dollars will be needed for this public building, but we recognize that the tax burden on Hamilton County residents cannot be increased,” said McDonald. “Any request will be in accordance with the Hamilton County Board of Commissions Voted Tax Levy Policy.” Visitors to the site also will read a variety of memories. They’ll read the story of Gayle Kowzan, a resident of Western Hills, whose first memory of her father was seeing him at Union Terminal arriving home from World War II. They’ll read the story of John Dyer, a resident of Evendale. John’s father also traveled through Union Terminal during World War II, but this story has another layer. John’s son, Lance Cpl. Christopher J. Dyer, recently was featured at Union Terminal as part of the Lima Company Memorial. The memorial recognized the brave efforts of 22 fallen Marines and a Navy Corpsman from the Lima Company who lost their lives while serving in Iraq in 2005.

Summer camps bring children to local playing fields, parks and, apparently, even the kitchen in an effort to learn and avoid summer boredom. “Farm to Table” is one of many Greenacres Foundation summer camps conducted each year in Indian Hill. During the camp, children learn the importance of preparing meals using fresh and organic foods. Campers help gather ingredients from gardens and also learn about the environment as they prepare and cook their own meals and snacks.

Dance program still on its feet By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com
Deer Park Dance Program is back again this year, but now standing on its own feet. After many years as part of the Deer Park City Schools Parent Teacher Organization, the dance program has broken off and become a separate nonprofit organization; one with board members, by-laws and regular meetings along with the dance classes. Board members of the Deer Park Dance Program said that many rumors have been going around that

Board members from left: Vice President Amy Jawork, Secretary Melissa Bolger, President Susie Mathis, fifth chair Lisa Spence and Treasurer Vicky Heffner. there would not be a program this year, but they want everyone to know the 58-year-old program is not going anywhere. “There is a program and anybody is welcome,” fifth chair Lisa Spence said. The board members said that students do not have to be in Deer Park Schools to
participate. Dancers come from various surrounding communities, including Reading, Indian Hill, Loveland, Sycamore Township and Oakley. The dance program runs through the school year and is open to both boys and girls ages three and up. The classes include jazz,
tap, ballet, swig, hip-hop and lyrical dances. Board President Susie Mathis said this year’s classes will be taught by all new instructors. Each class runs once a week and all classes practice in the dance room at Amity Elementary. In an effort to get more
parents involved now that the program is separated from the PTO, the board members will host an open meeting on the first Thusday of every month to keep parents updated on the budget and other aspects of the dance program. The meetings will be held in the Amity Elementary
cafeteria. The program runs through the nine months of the school year and culminates with a two-day performance recital in May at Deer Park High School. Classes are set to start the week of Sept. 14. For information, e-mail deerparkdanceprogram@gmail.com.

The French film “The Redf Balloon” will be featured in the Reel Art program.
The Cincinnati Art Museum has a new film series called Reel Art. Held on select Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons, Reel Art introduces films that are as much part of the Art Museum’s programs as its special exhibitions and permanent collection displays. Exhibitions, films and staff- or docent-led tours after the Sunday screenings will explore themes and ideas such as the beauty and meaning of the natural world (fall, 2009) or the art of the everyday (spring, 2010). “I love movies as much as I love any kind of great art,” said Director Aaron Betsky. “This series will bring some of my favorites to Cincinnati, and I am sure everybody will enjoy the enchantment of Bergman’s version of ‘Magic Flute’ or the delirious, one-shot trip through the Hermitage in ‘Russian Ark.’” Pricing for the fall series is $54 general admission or $30 for Art Museum members. Tickets may also be purchased for individual
screenings at $8 for general admission or $5 for Art Museum members, students, and seniors. For more information about the films or to purchase tickets, call 721ARTS or visit cincinnatiartmuseum.org/film.

Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has
its own food service for guests, so they can spend their entire visit immersed in solitude if they wish, surrounded by tall trees, huge rocks, the castle‘s own hiking trails and plenty of peace and quiet. Or guests can drive the few miles to outside attractions & other dramatic scenery in the Hocking Hills. Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events. Facilities are also perfect for small weddings and other festive occasions. The building has no steps into the 1st floor level - a “drawbridge” leads from the driveway to the massive front door and the first floor guest rms. Nearby are caves, waterfalls, lots of hiking trails, a scenic railway, arts & crafts studios & shop, antique malls and much more. There are often midweek discounts and a special “Royal Family” Adventure Package in the summer.
