White Pillars deal ‘minor risk’ Couple will renovate, live in home By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com
A remodeling contractor who hopes to be named a curator of the White Pillars Homestead in Loveland says he has a passion for historical renovation and would like to leave his mark by restoring the 1850s home. Loveland City Council approved Jeffrey Dean and his wife, Rochelle, as curators of White Pillars. The aunt of Thomas Paxton, who laid out a town in 1849 called “Paxton” – later renamed Loveland – helped design and build the homestead. “I would like to bring it back to the level of beauty and splendor it once was and make the city of Loveland proud of that structure,” Jeffrey Dean said. According to the proposed agreement between the Deans and the city, the couple would be able to live in the homestead at 101 Founders Lane in Clermont County rent-free. In exchange, the Deans would restore the house at a cost of at

The city would contribute $50,000 toward the construction of a kitchen and a two-car carriage house. The homestead would remain the property of the city. Loveland City Manager Tom Carroll said the curatorship entails “measured risk” for both parties. He said the curators would be making an investment in property they do not own and the city could have to complete the project
or find another curator should the Deans end the agreement. Carroll said the Deans have been carefully vetted, and, “It is staff’s opinion that the city’s overall risk is relatively minor with this concept, and the city has undertaken a rather similar project before with great success.” Jeffrey Dean has 18 years’ experience as a carpenter specializing in residential remodeling and owns his own remodeling contrac-
tor company, Artisan Construction. Dean has remodeled older homes in Indian Hill and Hyde Park. Dean lives in Union Township with his wife, who is an English teacher at Indian Hill Middle School. The couple together completely remodeled a home on Bellwood Drive in Loveland.

The Cincinnati Flower Show celebrated its 20th anniversary this year, but it was the first time the show was held in Symmes Township. The Symmes Township board of trustees held an open meeting July 15 to go over what went well and what needs work. Ken Bryant, president of the Symmes Township board of trustees, said they have a fiveyear contract with the flower show. “We anticipated some teething pains,” Bryant said. The meeting was open to the public, but Bryant said it was mostly a conversation between the board and flower show representatives. He said that could mean people were happy with the show or at least not upset enough to come to the meeting to complain. “The future bodes well for (the flower show) here,” Bryant said. Bryant said the paid attendance was equal to 2008’s show at Coney Island. Pedestrian flow went well and the vendors were happy, Bryant said. “Everyone in the area ... welcomed this endeavor,” Bryant said.

Mary Margaret Rochford, president and director of shows for the Cincinnati Horticultural Society, said feedback has been 99.9 percent positive. She added that exhibitors liked it and the location was easy to find. Even though the show was an overall success, there were problems, including traffic and parking issues. Bryant said they were not adequately set up for bus pickup and dropoff and there was not a good turn-around area. This aggravated traffic problems. The shuttle buses allowed people to park in local church parking lots and be transferred to the show, which was held in Symmes Park, but Bryant said they did not have enough buses. Bryant said valet parking worked well, but it was understaffed, which caused a backlog. Parking was also an issue because they could not use the Rozzi lot all of the time. Bryant said he hopes this will change next year. “We will make a dent in it,”

Traffic was also an issue for local residents who could not get out of their driveways. Bryant said next year they hope to put local police officers there since they know the area instead of using off-duty officers from other communities. Mary Margaret Rochford, president and director of shows for the Cincinnati Horticultural Society, said the show went well and the only issues were temporary and parking-related. “I think next year those will basically fade away,” Rochford said. She said next year Symmes
Township will have two more parking lots completed. Rochford said Symmes Park is a good location from a production standpoint because it’s almost all on solid ground. “For us, it was wonderful,” Rochford said. “The people all loved the show.” Rochford said feedback has been 99.9 percent positive. She added that exhibitors liked it and the location was easy to find. Rochford also complimented the Symmes Township staff. “The Symmes staff were just fantastic,” Rochford said. “They really know their park well.”

William John Schickel
Aug. 13, 1919-July 14, 2009. The children of William and Mary Schickel: Anna (Schickel) Haine, Matha (Schickel) Dorff, William Schickel, John Schickel, Joseph Schickel, Elizabeth (Schickel) Robinson, Benedict Schickel, Martin Schickel, Mary (Schickel) Moorman, Ruth (Schickel) Tabeling and Joy (Schickel) France; 30 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. 52 grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. “His daughter, Martha (Schickel) Dorff was part of the group that started the bike trail,� Hill remembered. He said Martha’s efforts helped preserve what we now know as Historic Loveland instead of allowing federal funds to build a super highway through the heart of Loveland. His son, Joe, is a member of city council and Martin Schickel is a founding committee member for Loveland’s Amazing Race and so many other community events. “He brought art and culture and square dance,� Hill said. “He transformed the Grailville campus and he designed two liturgy spaces at St. Columban.� It all began at Grailville back in the 1940s when Mary and Bill announced their engagement and then were married there. Audrey Sorrento was at Grailville in 1947. “I was at their solemn engagement ceremony,� she said. “Then, in 1950, I remember them living down the road on O’Bannonville Road. They had a very simple sustainable lifestyle. I think they had a cow and probably Bill milked it – it was a very simple lifestyle. He was always intimately related to Grailville.�
Sorrento thinks the transformation of the cattle barn into The Oratory was his most important artistic gift to Grailville. The simplicity of his art, his great faith and integrity left a lasting impression. An artist and designer by vocation, many who knew him called him teacher. “He was a wonderful teacher,� said Janet Calvin, another close family friend from Grailville. “He had a great intellectual grasp of what he was doing. I think that was his greatest strength.� Again, it was his simplicity that left the lasting impression on Calvin. She said Bill was very good at cutting through the nonsense and getting down to the core of a matter. She remembered how he broke art down to its simplest form. “He would say there are three principles: integrity of materials, form follows function and decoration follows form,� Calvin said. “You could go very far with those three principles.� William John Schickel did not have to go far to make his greatest impact. His simple quiet life a few hundred yards down O’Bannonville Road from Grailville set a lasting example for his children, grandchildren and

He was quiet. I knew his kids because I grew up in Loveland too.� She knew about his art work and that the family was big and lived up near Grailville. Durham has owned the tavern for three years, but remembers Bill coming in while she worked there before. She remembered him going to the gym to “keep his legs moving�
as he got older then coming over for his one drink – vodka on the rocks. “He was always welcoming,� Pat Hill said. “You could discuss anything and he wouldn’t flinch. He didn’t try to tell you what to do, but, when he gave advice, he meant every word of it.� Everyone recognized his intense faith and his loyal commitment to the Catholic Church. He also designed the Chapel at the Abbey of Gethsemane, a Catholic monastery and retreat center in Kentucky while Thomas Merton was there. “He was a man of unquestioning faith,� Hill said. “He said ‘Your faith in God is what will save you.’ He was an extraordinary guy.�
No one hurt in Miami Twp. apartment fire At approximately 7:15 p.m., Sunday, July 26, the Miami Township Fire and Emergency Medical Service was dispatched to a structure fire at 124 Queens Road, near the intersection of Ohio 28 and Cook Road. The townhouse apartment building contains about 10 units per building. A neighbor smelled smoke and called 911, said Miami Township Fire Chief Jim Whitworth. On arrival, Miami Township firefighters reported
smoke coming from the building and immediately requested a response of an engine and an ambulance from neighboring Milford Community Fire Department. Neighbors reported no one was home at the time. Firefighters then forced entry through the front door. They made their way through the unit and the second floor until locating the fire in the back bedroom in a far corner. The fire had grown up
the wall and was just starting to move across the ceiling. Firefighters extinguished the fire and confined the flame and heat damage to the bedroom. However, there was extensive smoke damage throughout the second floor of the unit. Fire investigators identified the cause as improperly discarded smoking materials. A damage estimate is not available.

The Loveland Initiative is revving up efforts to find a new home. The non-profit organization that educates and assists low-income children and their families is financially strapped and recently moved out of its offices on Loveland-Madeira Road. The Loveland Initiative is looking for space armed with suggestions from the recently disbanded “Ad Hoc Committee on Loveland Non-profit Organizations,� which was established by Loveland City Council earlier this year. The committee
was designed in part to help the Loveland Initiative find permanent housing, strengthen its financial standing and review its bylaws. Neither Terrie Puckett, who served as chairperson of the ad hoc committee, or Terri Rogers, president of the Loveland Initiative, could be reached for comment. Minutes from a recent meeting of the ad hoc committee show members have given Loveland Initiative representatives suggestions about organizations including churches - that might provide space free or at a reduced rate.
The minutes also show members of the ad hoc committee and the Loveland Initiative discussed ways to restructure the Initiative’s operations and better delineate the roles and responsibilities of Initiative board members and officers. In addition to its work with the Loveland Initiative, the ad hoc committee was formed to help administrators come up with rules for all non-profit organizations seeking financial or other kinds of help from the city. On July 28, Loveland City Council approved the rules, which include a requirement that non-profit organizations apply no later
than Sept. 15 for financial assistance for the following calendar year. Other rules: • require applicants for city help to provide proof of their non-profit status, information about how they plan to use the city’s help and an explanation about how their proposals would improve the quality of life for Loveland residents and businesses; • prohibit requests for city help for political and religious projects, ongoing operating expenses and venture capital for profitmaking activities.
Ad hoc committee member left with ‘a true sense of hope’ By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com
A member of the justdisbanded “Ad Hoc Committee on Loveland Non-Profit Organizations� said she is pleased with the working relationship it was able to build with the Loveland Initiative.
Loveland City Council established the committee earlier this year in part to help the Loveland Initiative find permanent housing, strengthen its financial standing and review its bylaws. “When our city committee and the Loveland Initiative first met jointly, I was-
n’t sure there would be much success, but I’ve left all of our meetings together with a true sense of hope and a renewed and growing respect for the important work of this group,� said committee member Paulette Leeper, executive director of the Loveland Area Chamber of Commerce.
“The Loveland Initiative does not yet have new office space, but they have secured space at the V.F.W. hall to store backpacks for their popular backpack program.� The ad hoc committee also was charged with helping city officials come up with rules for all non-profit
organizations seeking financial or other kinds of help from the city. City council recently approved the rules. “The limited time frame of the ad hoc committee has officially ended, and in that time, we’re edited the city’s new application for grants and in-kind support and pro-
vided some much-needed guidance to the folks at the Loveland Leeper Initiative,� Leeper said. “Right now, they are in the process of doing a variety of things to get the word out in the community about their plight.�

Schlesner continues to climb mountain By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
Cole Schlesner is back at it, flinging copies of the Loveland Herald toward your doorstep like a floating curveball from the rubber. “My parents drive me around in their car,” said Schlesner, flashing a toothy grin as genuine as a shiny penny. It may seem peculiar to regard a paper route with such reverence, but after spending 47 days in the hospital – including 12 in the intensive care unit – Schlesner can’t help it. Sidelined by a line drive to the cranium while pitching for the Cincinnati Stix May 17, Schlesner has been the recipient of an outpouring of love and support the size of a tsunami. “What happened to Cole was tragic,” said Scott, his father. “But everything that has taken place since then has been terrific.” The First Annual Play for 4 Golf Event Fundraiser – the latest episode of generosity – was held at the Oasis Golf Club and Conference Center on July 27. All proceeds from the event were donated to the Schlesner family to help

Cole Schlesner, center, and his parents, Scott and Wendy, were on hand for the First Annual Play for 4 Golf event fundraiser at the Oasis Golf Club and Conference Center July 27. All proceeds from the event were given to the Schlesner family to help with Cole’s medical expenses. pay for Cole’s medical expenses, which will likely total several hundred thousand dollars. “Loveland really is a land of love,” said Steve Plitt, a close friend of the Schlesner family who organized the fundraiser. “We’ve received thousands of letters, emails and phone calls offering well wishes and asking for updates on Cole. The sponsors that made generous donations did so for no other reason than wanting to help. They just want Cole to get better.”
The fundraiser featured a silent auction in which participants bid on hoards of donated sports memorabilia, including autographed items from Marvin Lewis, Brian Kelly, Jim Tressel, Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips, Carson Palmer, Yogi Berra and Derek Jeter. The golf outing was expected to raise at least $50,000 and figures to become an annual event. “Once we found out how many traumatic head injuries there are each year, we decided this event is something we’re going to keep
doing,” Plitt said. “We’re going to help these people with their medical expenses. Cole will be the first recipient, and once his expenses are paid off, we’ll find someone else to donate to.” But for now, the focus remains on the Schlesners, who have been afforded free meals and free lawn care and have received funds from friends, neighbors and strangers ranging from lemonade-stand profits to corporate-sponsored donations. “Without that support, we
wouldn’t be getting through the dark days,” Scott said. During Schlesner’s time at Children’s Hospital, he had countless visitors, including Reds’ starting pitcher Aaron Harang. “He’s a very nice and genuine person,” said Schlesner, who described the support he’s been given as overwhelmingly uplifting. “Cole has demonstrated an incredibly positive attitude throughout this whole thing,” Scott said. “We knew we couldn’t change what happened, and we knew feeling sorry for ourselves wouldn’t help. We faced the brutal facts of the severity of the injury and wanted to focus all of our time and energy on getting better.” So they have. Schlesner, who will be a sophomore at Loveland, will have a bone plate put in his skull in October and hopes to be playing baseball again by next spring. Whether he meets that self-imposed deadline remains to be seen, but Schlesner will continue to scale the mountain of recovery. “He’s had unwavering confidence,” Scott said. “He’s been strong.”

Rain hampered the start of the 57th annual Cincinnati Metro Softball Tournament but even that won’t slow what has grown into one of the biggest events of its kind in the nation. “They make it work,” said Jonathan Kissell, Rumpke’s senior communication coordinator. The Met is played mainly at Rumpke Park in Crosby Township, with finals concluding Wednesday, Aug. 12. “With so many teams it takes a lot of coordination to put it together. To make it happen with so many teams involved seems overwhelming but it’s impressive how well a tournament of this size can run.” Kissell said the grounds crew can be found at the park late into the night and that games are played most weeknights until midnight and later if there are weather delays. There are 261 teams in the Met this year, down 10 teams from 2008. Kissell said they were expecting fewer teams due to the economy but was happy with the number of teams. “It’s just a huge event to a lot
of people. Teams prepare all season for this event. To find out who the best of the best is and be declared a city champ. Teams take a lot of pride in it,” he said. The Met is one of the biggest tournaments of its kind in the nation. Only local, league-sanctioned teams were allowed to qualify for entry. Players cannot form teams just to play in the tournament. One key to the tournament’s continued success, Kissell said, is the tradition. “It’s been around so long, a lot of players playing today probably watched their parents and grandparents play in the Metro,” he said. “We play sports in grade school and high school and it’s a chance to relive those days as an adult. Players still take pride in being a champion.” Kissell, who grew up in the area and went to high school at La Salle, said the Met is popular even among spectators. “It’s only $3 for admission and kids under 12 and adults over 65 get in free. You can grab an ear of corn and a burger and watch a bunch of softball games from the sundeck. For two weeks, it’s a great place to be,” he said.

Initiative welcomes help from community
After a very turbulent time The Loveland Initiative is regrouping and partnering with the cityappointed Ad Hoc Committee. The committee consists of qualified individuals who have volunteered their time to form an alliance to The Loveland Initiative. Needless to say The Initiative welcomes the expertise and opinions of the committee. The committee which consists of Nicole Jordan, Paula Oguah, Paulette Leeper, Terrie Puckett and Gregg Hothem, has had some turbulence of its own. While we do not know all the details, the Ad Hoc Committee has had to do quite a bit of groundwork and invested much time before ever beginning what they all have volunteered to do, which is meet with and assist The Loveland Initiative. They each bring something unique to the table. This idea all started when Council Member Brent Zuch came to visit The Initiative’s center. He came to see how the city could better support The Initiative and to learn about the organization first hand.
Mr. Zuch came with Terrie Puckett and Nicole Jordan, two friends who he thought could help. As they toured the center with Lill Lane, Lisa Mason Initiative vice Community president, it was obvious to me Press guest they could columnist immediately see the value in the programs that The Initiaitve offers. This was prior to the Christmas season, which is one of the busiest times for The Initiative. Mr. Zuch was adamant and diligent about coupling the two groups for the success of the organization. We agreed their help would be beneficial and appreciated as The Initiative’s mission is and has always been to work best for the low-income and working poor families of the Loveland community. The first meeting took place June 1. We appreciate the respect the

Ohio’s Scenic Rivers, which includes the Little Miami River, program faces state funding cuts. What is the Little Miami River’s value to Loveland? No responses.
What do you like and dislike about the health care proposals currently before Congress? “I oppose this plan because of the high cost, my distrust of the federal government’s ability to handle any program efficiently, and I worry the time to get an appointment to see a doctor will be months under this program. “Just look at Canada’s, Great Britain’s and Massachusetts’ health plans to see the problems they have. Look at how badly the government has run the post office and Social Security and you see just how bad health care could be. If this health plan is so good why has the president tried to stop all debate by those who question the plan? Is he hiding something?” A.S. “To me it is a challenge in and of itself. “Humans eventually encroach on the habitat and domain of creatures. “Some enthusiasts compel legislation that protects some or many at the expense of others, be it creatures or humans. “If someone diminished your territory, property and source of food, etc ..., how would you feel and react? “To me an appropriate compromise is to safely attempt to rescue and humanely capture them, transport them, and release them in a more diverse habitat ala more rural and wild that hopefully will allow them to exist and thrive better in their own turf area.” JJJR “What I like about the current health care proposal is that smart, informed Americans are rejecting it and doing so very loudly! If you are following Obama blindly down the path to socialism, it is time to open your eyes, read the Constitution and think for yourselves. “Medicare, Medicaid, Social

Security and almost everything else the government touches is a disaster. We complained about $700 toilet seats covers and $1,000 hammers, we under 50 know that, like California’s residents, we will be getting IOUs (if we are lucky) rather than checks from the Social Security Administration. Yet some people still have delusions that the government can ‘fix’ the health care system. “Examples of just how terrible our health care system is: “I told my doctor, on a Monday, that I would like to schedule a colonoscopy. He said, ‘Fridays are usually busy, but this Thursday might work.’ “When my son was 2 he had a stomach ache. Thinking it could be his appendix, I called the doctor after hours and within four hours my son had had an MRI and was nice and comfortable in a bed at Children’s hospital. “My daughter fell and hurt her arm. Called the pediatrician at 8 a.m. and by 6 p.m. she had had X-rays and was the proud owner of a neon-blue cast! “Those of us with insurance get quality care and a bill. Those of us without insurance get quality care and a bill. “Sure, the system is not without its problems, but do you really want some politician in Washington who admits that he hasn’t even read the health care bill to ‘solve’ them? “On a more positive note, glad to see that my computer still underlines the word ‘Obama’ as one that it doesn’t recognize! A good sign that all is still not lost! L.A.D.B.
Ad Hoc Committee exudes toward us as an organization, we the volunteers and towards our clients. Just in the few short hours of our meeting they were able to see The Resource Center, one of our many programs, in operation. We had several donors deliver their gently-used clothes and household items and receive slips to use for a tax write off if they like. Then were able to see some of these same items leave with the clients that came in and took the items they needed for their families. Also since we were in a meeting, it was run by all client volunteers as all of our programs have always been. I am sure just like when Mr. Zuch got to see this first hand, the Ad Hoc committee also realized what an asset The Initiative is to those in the community with needs. Obviously now with the changes in the financial makeup of our country, those who were already struggling and working with bare minimums have a greater need then ever before. We as The Loveland Initiative are working to strengthen our

The Ad Hoc committee is key in these too areas. However the true support comes from Loveland residents. You are the heart of what the Initiative does and you are the reason we service hundreds of clients a year. We need your help now. Whether it be through your donations of gently used clothes and household items or volunteer time. Or maybe it will be through the upcoming backpack program where you can donate items the kids will need for the 2009-2010
Save green by going green We have been hearing about the many benefits of recycling for quite some time. It does not cost anyone extra to recycle in Loveland. In these tough economic times this is quite amazing. It costs nothing to get a recycling bin, and you can even get an extra one at no cost if you need one. All you have to do is call the city of Loveland at 6830510 to request one be delivered to your home. Once you have your bin, you will not have to pay any extra money to have your recyclables picked up, right at your curb. Curbside recycling in Loveland is made quite easy by Rumpke, which utilizes what is called “single stream” recycling. This technology makes it even easier to recycle than ever. This simply means that you can put all your recyclables in one bin. The hope with single stream recycling is that more people will recycle since it is much more convenient. It is also more efficient for the collectors since all the recyclables can be picked up in one truck. Many people wonder what to put in the recycling bin. The items that can go in the recycling bin are: • steel, aluminum, and tin cans. Simply rinse and flatten. • No. 1 and No. 2 plastic soda, milk, shampoo, and detergent small mouthed bottles. Rinse, flatten, and remove the lids. • clear, brown, green, and blue glass bottles, and glass jars. Rinse and throw away the lids. • newspaper, glossy inserts,
magazines, telephone books, brown grocery bags, junk mails, poster board, cereal boxes, paper beverage carriers, corrugated cardboard, office paper, envelopes and copy paper. Put your paper inside a brown grocery bag to prevent litter. Boxes should be broken down and consolidated. If you live in an apartment or condominium that does not have curbside recycling, you can drop off your recyclables 24 hours a day at the site on Karl Brown Way next to Loveland Canoe and Kayak. You do not need to sort your materials before dropping them off at this site. We do ask that you break down cardboard, and make sure that you get your materials inside the container instead of leaving them outside the recycling dumpster. You may wonder how you “Get Green for Going Green.” In Loveland we will likely soon be faced with an increase in refuse rates. This is especially hard on residents in a tough economy, and The Metropolitan Sewer District will continue to impose double digit rate increases every year. In recent times, City Councilman Brent Zuch requested that the Hamilton County Solid Waste District appear before city council. It was ascertained that if Loveland is able to reach a rate of 20 percent recycling versus refuse disposal, then we can get a grant which would offset some of this rate increase. It was also discov-

ered that neighboring community Montgomery is participating in a pilot project where residents score points based on the weighted amount of recycling they do and can redeem them for gift cards. Montgomery was chosen due to its high rate of recycling. Zuch said to the HCSWD representative that not only will Loveland exceed the 20 percent recycling rate, but that we would like to be included in the next phase of the “Rewards for Recycling” program. This will take a unified community effort on the part of residents. If you don’t recycle, please start. Please encourage your friends and neighbors to do so too. If you go to a party, please observe and encourage recycling. Consider a compost pile for your food refuse. Consider a neighborhood cleanup drive and recycle that which you can. It is easy and free to recycle and it is easy to see how it will directly benefit you. Lisa Dierling is a member of Loveland’s Tree & Environment Committee. Other members include Gary Benesh, Norman Neal and Brent Zuch.

Jackie Orent and Molly Cramer are looking for donations to raise money for juvenile diabetes research. They plan to bike 100 miles in Death Valley, Calif., in October to raise awareness of the disease from which Cramer suffers.
Sycamore students bike for a cure Three years ago when Molly Cramer and Jackie Orent were freshmen at Sycamore High School they each raised $3,500 for juvenile diabetes research by bicycling 40 miles in Death Valley, Calif. This fall when the girls will be seniors, they hope to raise a minimum of $4,700 each by bicycling 100 miles during the Ride to Cure Diabetes held annually in Death Valley – just one of the fundraisers mounted regularly worldwide for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International.

The group Friends of the Little Miami State Park has accomplished a lot in less than a year. Steve Murphy, vice president of FLMSP, said the foundation meeting took place Nov. 16. The group was started by Simeon Copple, president of FLMSP, to confront trail safety after a few serious injuries last year. “Our focus from the very beginning, and it remains that, is safety,” Murphy said. Martin Schickel, editor of the historicloveland.com Web site and member of FLMSP, said the group relates to Loveland because of the trail, which is officially named the Little Miami PROVIDED Scenic Trail.

A prayer shawl ministry at Christ Church Glendale is asking for help. The group, which knits or crochets shawls for the families of military personnel who have been killed in Iraq or Afghanistan, wants to reach out to area families of fallen soldiers. Group members are asking that friends or family members of such individuals contact the church so that the ministry can help them remember their loved ones with a prayer shawl. “It’s important to honor those who were brave enough to go and serve their country,” said Donna Boggs, a member of the prayer shawl ministry. “We’re trying to stay current with casualties, but there are many families of the fallen in past years who have not been remembered, and we want to find out how we can get in touch with them.” Information on families of the fallen should be directed to Boggs or Sue Mitchell through Christ Church Glendale: 513-771-1544 or christchurch1@fuse.net.

Considering the surprises of life weird in sensing there may be more to it. In the well-respected field of Jungian psychology, however, such uncaused but amazingly meaningful and spontaneous occurrences are expressed by another term – synchronicity. Jung called synchronicity “a non-causal but meaningful relationship between physical and psychic events … a special instance of acausal orderedness.” Dr. David Richo says, “What makes chance into synchronicity is the consciousness in us of the vaster design that is unfolding. Chance happens to us; synchronicity happens in us.” Those more spiritually oriented may speak of it as grace. From the vantage point of hindsight we look back in our lives and believe we see the providence of God working subtly.
Though our actions were completely free and spontaneous, and there was no coercion or auto-suggestion, these few unexplainable events happened and worked to our benefit. It’s been said, “A coincidence is a minor miracle in which God wishes to remain anonymous.” The late psychiatrist M. Scott Peck wrote, “I’ve become more and more impressed by the frequency of statistically highly improbable events. In their improbability, I gradually began to see the fingerprints of God. On the basis of such events in my own life and in the lives of my patients. “I know that grace is real. ...We who are properly skeptical and scientificminded may be inclined to dismiss this force since we can’t touch it and have no decent way to measure it.
Yet it exists. It is real.” Another professional, psycho-therapist Robert A. Johnson, refers to grace as “slender threads” touching our lives: “The possibility of the slender threads operating at all times is so staggering that most of us can’t bear it. ...It is probably true that we live in a universe with more meaning in it than we can comprehend or even tolerate. “Life is not meaningless; it is overflowing with meaning, pattern and connections.” Even in times of trouble or turmoil, hope says surprises can happen.

Have you ever stopped spontaneously at a gas station, talked with a stranger at the next pump, and left with a great job offer? Did the university you chose for educational purposes introduce you to your spouse? Did you lose track of the wisest schoolteacher you ever had, wish you could have her advice now, and a week later in a crowded mall see her again? Have you ever unexpectedly met a physician who soon proved vital for your health? Many occurrences in our lives seem accidental or completely by chance. And the odds are that’s exactly what they are.

For Jean, from Barbara Dahl, an Indian Hill Journal reader. “This is from Sardi’s New York. It’s in Mary and Vincent Price’s book ‘A Treasury of Great Recipes’ from 1965. Makes an impressive dessert and cost 85 cents at the time,” Barbara said.

(Under “Eating In,” click on “Cooking with Rita” and look for the entry titled “Video: Aarón Sanchez, Food Network Star shows me easy Mexican dishes”). Gradually beat in 1 cup sugar and continue to beat until stiff and glossy. Line baking sheets with waxed paper, and on the paper trace three 8-inch diameter circles. Spread meringue evenly over circles, about 1⁄4 thick, bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until meringue is pale gold, but still pliable. Remove from oven and carefully peel waxed paper from bottom. Put on cake racks to dry.
Filling:
Melt over hot water 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate pieces and 3 tablespoons water. Whip 3 cups cream until stiff. Gradually add 1⁄3 cup sugar and beat until very stiff. (I think I’d beat them together). Slice 1 pint strawberries. Place meringue layer on serving plate and spread with thin coating of chocolate. Spread whipped cream about 3⁄4 inch thick and top this with layer of strawberries. Put second layer of
STACY DOOSE/STAFF
meringue on top, spread with chocolate, another layer of whipped cream and strawberries. Top with third layer of meringue. Frost sides smoothly with remaining whipped cream. Decorate top informally using rest of melted chocolate. Or use whole strawberries. Refrigerate two hours before serving. Serves eight.
Tips from Rita’s kitchen
Freeze blueberries, unwashed in single layer, uncovered, on a cookie sheet until frozen hard. Then pour into containers. To use, rinse just a tiny bit under cool water in a colander – don’t let thaw completely before using in baked goods.

Rev. Wendell E. Mettey, founder and president of Matthew 25: Ministries, will be revisiting the location that served as the inspiration for his most recent book “On Which Side of the Road Do the Flowers Grow?� Wednesday, Aug. 5. “On Which Side of the Road Do the Flowers Grow?� is a collection of gentle, loving, humorous, often touching portrayals of the unique and colorful individuals who comprised Mettey’s congregation during his early years of ministering at Walnut Hills Baptist Church. Through Mettey’s eyes, the reader sees that these ordinary people, whose lives were filled with trials, were yet infused with an awareness of God’s real and abundant grace. These lovingly written tales will be a blessing
TO
to all who read them, evoking both laughter and tears as they offer reassurance that no matter how bad life seems, there is good to be found. From 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 5, Mettey will be returning to Walnut Hills Baptist Church at 2386 Kemper Lane. During this “homecoming� Mettey will do a reading from his book, engage in a talk-back with the Walnut Hills/Heritage Church study group and other readers and share his favorite remembrances of his time as Pastor of this historic church. The book, with its short story format, makes an excellent text for small group discussion, book or bible study groups. Each of the 16 simple, compelling story-chapters takes the reader on a captivating narrative that impels the
reader to re-evaluate their pre-conceptions and expand their acceptance of those around them who are scarred with the chips, dings, cracks and imperfections of life. “On Which Side of the Road Do the Flowers Grow?� will be available for purchase at the event and Rev. Mettey will be avail-
able to sign copies. The cost for the book is $9.95 and all proceeds benefit Matthew 25: Ministries. Study guides for group use will also be available for review and purchase. The cost for the study guide is $4. For more information, contact Joodi Archer at 7936256.

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY 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
