Smith, who had originally received approval for a 24-unit condo development, Creekwood Estates, now wants to convert the condominiums to group home units for at-risk youth. Smith and his attorney, Barrett Tullis, contended group homes are
a permitted use in planned residential areas and the permits are being withheld because Roschke doesn't want group homes on the property. The issue has been controversial with neighbors of the property. At a May 27 hearing, some neighbors said they are already experiencing problems. Neighbors said the property
has not been well maintained, and are worried about their families' safety, property values and what impact having a large number of at-risk teens in one location will have on the community. Smith’s next option could be to pursue an administrative appeal through the courts. Tullis said he will talk with his client about options.

Republicans endorse Ritter, Deters By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
Colerain Township Trustee Bernie Fiedeldey told Republicans he will not run for a third term at a meeting of Colerain Township Republican precinct executives June 24. The meeting was to determine who the Republican-endorsed candidates would be. There are two seats up for election in November. Officials said he did not seek the endorsement. Fiedeldey did not return calls for comment. Incumbent trustee Jeff Ritter received the nod from the group, and will run in November for a second term of office.
Ritter was elected 2005 andcurrently serves as board president.He also serves as board liaison to the Summer Events Committee which coordinates the Fourth of July Spectacular and the Taste of Colerain held every August. He lives in Colerain Township with his wife Marie three children and is a director of planning and governance in the information technology department at the Convergys Corp. Dennis Deters, a new face to township voters, also was endorsed by the group. Ritter said he is looking forward to the campaign. “I am tremendously excited to be running alongside a strong Republican like Dennis Deters.” Ritter
said. “He is a lawyer and his experience will be a great addition to the board. I hope we are both elected this fall and can work together for the benefit of the township.” Deters, 34, is an attorney with Haughey & Deters, with offices in Oxford and Fairfield. He said the township can benefit from a fresh perspective and his experience as an attorney. Deters said he and his wife chose Colerain Township as a home community and following the November election, he decided it was time to enter the political arena. “It seemed government has lost its way,” he said. “I believe in limited government and giving control

back to the people.” Coming from a political family, he has been involved with campaigns and politics since he was eight. Now, he says it’s time for him to make a contribution of his own. “I can use my tool set as an attorney for the benefit of the township,” he said. “I specialized in municipal law.” He was an associate at Schroeder, Maundrell, Barbiere and Powers and formed his own practice with friend Daniel Haughey in 2007. In 2008, Deters was appointed the Butler County Area II Court Felony Public Defender, where he handles all felony cases for indigent defendants. He also serves

Torrential rains and thunderstorms with high winds and hail overnight caused widespread damage across the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region, according to the National Weather Service, but local officials say Colerain Township dodged the worst of it. Colerain Township fire officials said they had no reports of widespread damage. Colerain Public Works director Bruce McClain said his crews were called out early Friday because of trees and power lines down on Jonrose Avenue. The road was closed Friday until crews could deal with the downed power
lines. Traffic was detoured through the Struble Elementary School parking lot. The storm took down part of a tree in the Springdale Road front yard of Steve and Charlene Hall. Son Dustin Todd, 24, spent Friday morning talking on the phone with Duke Energy to get the power back and cleaning up the branches left by the storm. “We lost two trees and part of this one in September; that was much worse,” he said as he cleared debris from his front yard. “I heard the storm at 2 a.m. When I woke up, I wondered why my power was out and the neighbor’s was on. Then I came outside and saw the limbs on the lines and had the answer to
my question. Now I’m just cleaning up.” Colerain Township expereinced some trouble with its new phone system, as employees and callers reported loud popping and crackling in the line. Josh Campbell, director of information technology for the township, said the problems started late Monday morning and were likely not caused by the storm itself. Duke Energy spokeswoman Sally Thelen said at the peak of the overnight storm, there were 85,000 power outages across the Tri-State. By Friday afternoon, There were still just under 25,000 customers remaining without service. Duke Energy brought in additional crews to work to

REAL ESTATE THIS WEEK By Mark Schupp
ENERGY EFFICIENCY Homebuyers are increasingly concerned about the rising cost of energy. It is common for buyers to ask about utility costs and the energy efficiency of a home when they are considering buying it. One way to reduce energy costs is as simple as changing your light bulbs—from standard ones to compact fluorescent bulbs that are designed to fit most standard light fixtures and lamps. The initial purchase price of compact fluorescent bulbs may seem a little steep—they average between $13 and $20 per bulb— but they last at least 10 times longer than a standard light bulb and will reduce your energy bills significantly. Manufacturers estimate that during the life of a single fluorescent bulb you will reduce your electric bill by over $40. As an added bonus, the electric company will be able to reduce carbon dioxide emission by approximately half a ton per replacement bulb. Compact fluorescents don’t work with dimmer switches, and if used outdoors you should make sure that the fixture is well ventilated and protected from rain.

Green Twp. promotes four firefighters By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Four part-time firefighters with the Green Township Department of Fire & EMS will soon be full-time employees of the township. The Green Township Board of Trustees approved a resolution June 22 to hire Jeff Bayer, Ron Krass, Brett Raible and Matt Schmithorst as full-time township firefighters. All four will begin their full-time status effective Saturday, July 4. Green Township Fire & EMS Chief Douglas Witsken said the four firefighters were promoted from the township’s part-time firefighter ranks, and underwent a three-month process of written testing, reviews of employment history and training records and several rounds of interviews.
“These were without a doubt the four strongest candidates out of the group,” he Witsken said. “We’re very proud to move them from part-time to full-time status.” After being sworn in by Green Township Fiscal Officer Thomas Straus, all four firefighters thanked the board of trustees and the administration for giving them the opportunity to be career firefighters with the township. “I’ve been here six years and hopefully it’s many more years to come,” Bayer said. Schmithorst said, “I’m looking forward to spending my career here for sure.”
Witsken said the addition of four full-time firefighters will allow the department to add a second crew at the Dent fire station. “It’s important to note the levy that was passed by the voters last fall has allowed us to add a second crew at our Dent fire station,” he said. “I certainly would like to thank the Green Township residents and the board for their support of the staffing increase.” The five-year, 1.9-mill safety services levy voters approved last November costs the owner of a home with a market value of $100,000 about $56 per year in property taxes. Witsken said when he first took over as chief in 2005, three of the township’s four fire stations were staffed by only one crew.

time firefighters will be compensated at step 1 of the contract, $46,886 annually.
Glory Lake yields a big fish tale jkey@communitypress.com

Symbol of Freedom
There are three famous symbols of America s freedom; the Stars and Stripes of “Old Glory”, the Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell. Most Americans are familiar with the stories behind the American Flag and the Statue of Liberty but fewer may be familiar with the story of the Liberty Bell. The bell was acquired from a foundry in England by the Assembly of the Province of Pennsylvania in 1752 and it currently resides at Market Street & 6 th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It has a circumference around the lip of 12 ft. and around the crown of 7 ft. 6 in. It measures 3 feet lip to the crown and weighs 2080 lbs. It is most famous for the fact that it is cracked. The “crack” is approximately 1/2 inch wide and 24.5 inches long. There are conflicting stories of just how the Liberty Bell was cracked and though it is now unusable, it stands as a symbol of American freedom. During this time of year, we hear many rousing patriotic songs and sounds. Do they really mean anything to us? Notice the crowd the next time you hear our national anthem played or when asked to recite our pledge of allegiance. Do you see and hear true expressions of freedom? It is time for American to shout for freedom! We should stand at attention and place our hands over our hearts when the national anthem is played! We should demonstrate grateful hearts when we honor and acknowledge our service men and women! We should be thankful for our freedom every time we go to the polls to exercise our right to vote!

I am stirred by these symbols of America’s freedom but there is an even greater symbol of freedom meant not only for the United States but for the entire world—the old rugged cross. The cross of Christ is where all of our sin was paid for. The freedom from sin and guilt is the greatest freedom of all and once received no man can take it away. While we take time to celebrate our American freedom on July 4th we should not forget to look to the cross and celebrate the gift of eternal life made available to us all by Christ s death. When we trust Christ as our Savior we can claim Romans 6:17-18, But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. Look to God s Word today and find the story of eternal freedom!
about 20 years old. “I was willing to see what they had,” he said. “I am sure there are plenty of big ones in there. They’ve had time to grow.” Glory Lake is owned by New Commandment Christian Center. Andre Ross, a church member and volunteer who manages facility rentals at the lake, said there is a catch-and-release policy for fish over 10 pounds. Blust said that is not uncommon with pay lakes. And it’s OK with him; he says he wouldn’t know how to prepare the fish he catches, anyway. He generally tosses them back. Blust, who says he fishes several times a week, had some pointers for would-be catfish hunters. He recommends using a big pole, a minimum of 40pound test line and a sturdy reel. “I used a crappie head as bait for this one,” he said. “But blue gill or shad are fine, too. You could also use small live fish. I have had good success with goldfish.” He also recommends a net. “I like to use a net to

Colerain, Elder ink two-year series tmeale@communitypress.com
Neither Colerain nor Elder will play in the annual Kirk Herbstreit Ohio vs. USA Challenge during the 2009 high school football season. Instead, they’ll be playing each other. The Herbstreit Challenge, typically played at a Cincinnati venue during week two of the season, was moved to week one in Columbus; Colerain and Elder, however, have traditionally opened the season by participating in the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown. “The Herbstreit was moved to week one, and they never called to ask us about that,” Colerain Athletic Director Dan Bolden said. “We said we couldn’t participate because we have a commitment to the Skyline event, and we’re going to be loyal to that.” With Colerain’s week-two game available, Bolden called Elder Athletic Director Dave Dabbelt. “(Dan and I) have talked about this for a couple years,” Dabbelt said. “We said that if the Herbstreit ever fell through, we could (play
each other) as a backup.” And that is what they will do. Colerain and Elder have agreed to play a two-game, home-and-home series over the next two years; the first game, which will be broadcast live by a national sporting network, will be played at The Pit Sunday, Sept. 6. “We talked about playing the game at a neutral site like Nippert (Stadium) or Paul Brown (Stadium),” Dabbelt said. “But (the network wants) it to be at a high school venue, and The Pit was chosen by USA Today as one of the top 10 places to watch a high school game.” Bolden had no problem with the first game of the series being played at Elder. “We already have four home games scheduled, so playing at Elder first wasn’t a big issue,” he said. Both schools are excited about the prospect of playing before a national audience. “I think it says a lot for the program, the community, the coaching staff and the athletes that people in the broadcasting company regard our school that highly to put us on TV,” Bolden said. “This is what it’s all about.
When these kids are 60, they can tell their grandkids, ‘I worked hard, I ran the extra laps, I put time in the weight room and I stayed out of trouble and played on national television.’” The game will provide additional spotlight for Cincinnati as a hotbed for high school sports, especially football. “Over the last 10 years, the coverage of high school football in Cincinnati has gotten better on the national level,” Dabbelt said. “It really started with Moeller getting national attention back in the ’70s and ’80s, and the Herbstreit event really brought it to life recently.” No official date has been determined for the second part of the two-game series, but it will be played at Colerain during the weekend of Sept. 3 and Sept. 5, 2010. A more immediate topic of interest, however, is who will win the showdown in 2009. This game marks the first time Elder and Colerain have played each other since the Panthers defeated the Cardinals 27-20 in the Division I Regional Final in November 2008, en route to a state runner-up finish.

Colerain’s Walker stays tough despite injury By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
On June 12, Kevin Walker, a Colerain High School sophomore-to-be, broke his ankle. “I was playing basketball and went up for a lay-up,” Walker recalled. “I came down on the side of my ankle.” Three days later, Walker, who excels in soccer, was informed that after months of tryouts he was one of 18 kids to make the Olympic Development Program Ohio soccer team. “It was bittersweet,” his mother, Linda Marcum, said. “He found out he made the team, but he wouldn’t be able to play.” Walker, 15, had surgery on his ankle June 18 and was told he’d be out of action for up to 10 weeks. Had he not broken his ankle, Walker could’ve traveled with his ODP team to Illinois in July to participate in a camp featuring more than a dozen teams from the region. Playing for ODP – a breeding ground for future college soccer players – is an excellent way to gain exposure. Scouts attend camps to take notes and compile profiles on ODP players. “It’s the next step if you want to get recognized nationally,” Marcum said. Walker’s tenure on the team lasts one year; in the spring, he must try out
again and prove himself all over again. “(Kevin) beat out kids last year that had been on the team previously,” Marcum said. “No kid is guaranteed a spot at any time.” Still, Walker, a forward, must like his chances of making the team again; after all, in 2008, he became the second freshman in nine years to make the varsity team at Colerain. The only other Cardinal to accomplish that feat in the last nine years was graduating senior Casey Weddle. “It was amazing, especially since he’s not a goalie,” Marcum said. “Goalies are the ones who typically make varsity early.” Walker started several games for the Cardinals last season; although he did not score any goals, he had more than a half dozen assists. “It was kind of hard,” Walker said. “I wasn’t used to all that talent.” Walker, who also plays for the Fairfield Optimist Soccer Club, began playing soccer when he was 3. Marcum, who played two years of soccer at Mount Healthy High School before graduating in 1988, introduced her son to the sport. “It’s killing him not being out there,” she said. “He’s a great soccer player, but he’s also a great kid. He does crunches to stay in shape.” Walker will likely be
wide receiver Tim O’Conner and tight end Alex Welch, who has verbally committed to the University of Notre Dame. Both teams also enter the season nationally ranked; according to MaxPreps, Elder is ranked No. 7, while Colerain is ranked No. 18.
BRIEFLY Two Cardinals lauded
Recent Colerain High School graduate Emily Schwaeble was named the Cincinnati Enquirer Division I Player of the Year. The Northern Kentucky University recruit went 20-8 this season with 364 strikeouts, 12 shutouts and a 0.55 ERA in in 191.1 innings. She was named first-team all-state. Colerain head softball coach Susan Dayton, meanwhile, was named the Cincinnati Enquirer Division I Coach of the Year. She led the Cardinals (209) to their first regional final since 2002 and their first state final four appearance in school history.

TONY MEALE/STAFF
In 2008, Colerain High School sophomore-to-be Kevin Walker became only the second freshman in the last nine years to make the Cardinals’ varsity soccer team. Walker, who broke his ankle June 12, hopes to be ready for the start of the high school season in August. He also plays for Fairfield Optimist Soccer Club and was one of 18 players selected for the Olympic Development Program Ohio team. ready for the start of the high school season, but there is a chance he could miss a game or two. A starting point guard for Colerain’s junior varsity basketball team last year, Walker hopes to break the school record for goals scored in a career, which was set by 1980 graduate
Drew Kleinschmidt, who scored more than 41 goals for Colerain. Walker also aspires to play in college, and one day, professionally in MLS. “The best feeling is when you score a goal,” he said. “Every time I score a goal, it makes me love the game even more.”
Whether this regular-season slugfest will continue beyond 2010 is unknown. “I’d love to continue it,” Dabbelt said. “For me, it’s a great game. Not only do our schools have national recognition, but they’re also 10 or 11 miles apart. It’s what high school football is all about.”
La Salle High School opens its varsity football season with a game against Oak Hills High School to kick off the 12th Annual Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown. The game between the Lancers and the Highlanders starts at 6 p.m. and is the first of two contests Friday, Aug. 28, at Nippert Stadium. Colerain High School faces St. Xavier High School at 8:30 p.m. as the second game of the evening at Nippert Stadium.

Mohr column response
Kathy Mohr wonders in her guest column, “What is going on in Colerain Township?” Apparently she is the only one that doesn’t know that she is smearing Trustee Fiedeldey and the current fiscal officer in hopes of getting her old job back. She longs for the day when she and Joe Wolterman ran the township along with the other “good old boys.” Isn’t it amazing that Rumpke’s expansions were only put on hold once Joe and Kathy left office? Wolterman is an admitted long time friend of the Rumpkes. Sorry, Kathy. We’ll take a trustee that works for the people instead of the “good old boys” in Colerain Township any day.

CH@TROOM What do you think Energy’s plans to nuclear power plant ton? What concerns have, if any?
of Duke build a in Pikedo you
“I think all future power plants should be nuclear or Hydro powered versus the use of fossil fuels. Only 20 percent of US electricity comes from nuclear power while France gets more than 70 percent from nuclear power. The U.S. has 12 nuclear-powered Air Craft carriers and has had many more nuclear powered submarines at sea for more than 40 years. The United States is the world leader in nuclear technology and should be using that technology more. Nuclear power plants on the coast lines powering desalination facilities could provide much needed water to arid lands and off set the oceanic rise due to global warming. Keep in mind the CG&E facility at Moscow, Ohio was supposed to be nuclear powered. Go figure!” D.T. “I think this is great. Nuclear power is a great, safe way to get energy independent. And though I am not concerned about global warming, I know that many people are. Environmentalists need to get behind this plan as well. My question is, why does it take so long to bring this plant on-line? What happened to our American spirit of ingenuity? Surely, we can do this safely and also do it faster than they are talking.” T.H. “I support the utilization of nuclear energy – provided the plant is built safely, on time, and without cost overruns that are passed onto the consumer. We don’t want another Zimmer.” D. “I think we must try to develop new sources of energy delivery to make sure we have alternatives to natural gas, coal, oil, etc., and I believe nuclear energy is one of the most promising alternatives. I grew up in Portsmouth, and Piketon was the site (in the 1950s) of the Goodyear Atomic Plant where uranium-235 was produced at the beginning of the nuclear age. “As far as I know, there were no adverse repercussions to this early nuclear development.” B.B. “I would whole heartily support the concept.

France is safe, reasonable, dependable source of energy. My only question would be, wonder if they considered changing the Moscow plant originally built as a nuclear power plant, to nuclear? This makes sense when you know power needs are 24/7 and wind and solar are not.” FJB “Nuclear energy has always been a great source for clean energy, but my concern is the safe disposal of nuclear waste. A site must be agreed on prior to the building of the plant and how safe is it. Also it must be cheaper than coal energy or it’s not worth it.” N.P. “This plant is well overdue. Gas and electric can be just as deadly.

Security of a nuclear facility is always a concern but I think that has to be balanced against the cleanliness of the power.” B.N. “I absolutely love the idea of the nuclear plant.

Trustee uses poor judgment
In response to Mr. Fiedeldey’s letter in the June 10 Northwest Press, I think that other factors need to be presented. Public input on any project is always good. However, Mr. Fiedeldey has a habit of saying it and then ignoring or even restricting the input. The Northgate Mall disaster is a case in point. At least a dozen of Colerain business leaders spoke at a regular meeting of the trustees in favor of the Feldman Properties professional design to improve the corner of Springdale and Colerain. Only one resident opposed it. This would have enhanced the corner from the trashy look as it remains today to a beautiful site. A meeting of the trustees was called to discuss the project. Mr. Fiedeldey, acting as moderator, said to the group, “now only the trustees can talk everyone else
remain quiet.” A second presentation of a different set of architects was presented by the mall and Mr. Fiedeldey did not like it again. Thomas Hart The owners willing to Community were i n v e s t Press guest $ 6 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 columnist plus in the project and wanted tax incremental financing for township ownership of the corner. (This money comes from the mall’s increased real estate taxes on their investment to pay for the restoration of the corner.) This is the same procedure that the Stone Creek project received without any hassle. After about 18 months, a deal
was struck with the mall owners. Mr. Fiedeldey was then quoted in the Cincinnati Enquirer in early November 2007 with views that were contrary to the deal. The owners were exasperated and pulled out of the deal. After over two years of trying, the owners realized they could not accomplish the simplest agreement with any hope of fair treatment and abandoned the project. The rest of the trustees and all who knew the project would be a catalyst to a revitalized Northgate area were devastated. If you look at Stone Creek today, the mall could have looked as good or even better. Mr. Fiedeldey has consistently exercised poor judgment in similar matters. Thomas J. Hart is a resident of Colerain Township and a former Colerain Township trustee.
County transparent in waste, ethics It’s hard not to be discouraged with the current state of government, when high profile scandals and reports of wasteful spending continue to grab headlines, at all levels of government. Too often, it seems the elected officials forget that it is your taxpayer dollars paying for it all. That is why Hamilton County recently implemented two critical reforms aimed at increasing government accountability and provided clear bright lines for ethical conduct. Transparency in Spending. We recently went “live” with a Web site program that lists all County spending, across all departments. Any citizens can go on-line, and search to see how each department is spending tax dollars. Whether it’s purchasing furniture, office supplies, or automobiles, you can now see how your tax dollars are spent, and hold your elected officials accountable if something seems amiss. We have also taken steps to ensure that there are no privacy risks in this effort at transparency
and that the program can be implemented in real-time, and at minimal cost. Visit www. hamiltoncountyohio.gov to search the site and see your tax dolDavid Pepper how lars are being Community spent. And if you Press guest find questionable columnist spending, etc., contact my office to let me know. This is all about transparency, and empowering citizens to hold government accountable. Ethics. The board of commissioners also recently finalized and distributed a county government ethics manual. It clarifies for everyone the numerous laws, rules and/or policies curtailing 1) impermissible political involvement of employees, 2) the hiring of family members, 3) double-dipping, 4) not using one’s public position for personal gain, and 5) all sorts of other
guidelines to ensure county ethics are first-rate. This work is critical. To best use taxpayer dollars, we must ensure that county employees are always doing the right thing, that decisions at all levels are always made on the merits and not other influences, and that employees are hired and promoted based on the quality of their work for the taxpayers, and not other, unrelated issues. Both employees, and citizens, will benefit from a full knowledge of our laws, rules and policies around different ethics issues. And county government performs at its best when these rules are adhered to 100 percent. These are just a few of the initiatives under way to save taxpayers money, improve the quality of services, and restore confidence in local government. To read more about all the reforms underway, visit my Web site at http://cincypeptalk. blogspot.com/. David Pepper is president of the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners.
Coates agrees, common sense needed I read with great interest the guest column by our county auditor, Dusty Rhodes, regarding, “It’s time to get back to common sense.” I would have to agree with Auditor Rhodes’ assessment that our county needs to get back to common sense governance. Sure our county commissioners inherited some of the bad decisions of their predecessors and now the country is in a lengthy national recession; revenue is down and investment revenue is virtually nonexistent. However, the commissioners have a higher statutory obligation and responsibility than just rubber-stamping the county administrator’s budget recommendations. Due to the commissioners’ 2009 funding budget, this year

obligations, operation and public access. This year, the recorder’s office has already taken in over $3.2 million in receipts for the county general fund, with about half going to the state’s Ohio Housing Trust Fund. So why is the county administration recommending further cuts to an office that actually raises money for the county coffers? The commissioners should fund their statutory offices with statutory obligations before creating additional debts that have nothing to do with their statutory obligations. Yes, I agree with county Auditor Dusty Rhodes, it’s time to get back to “common sense” governance. Wayne Coates is the Hamilton County recorder and a resident of Forest Park.

Bonkers has earned the nickname “Lord Oken” because he thinks he is a fancy and royal human.
With time and love, cat teaches lesson One day my parents took me and my brother to an animal shelter to look for a dog. While we looked at the dogs, I saw the cats. I wanted to see the little kittens, so we went to the cats. While we looked at the cats, there was a little cat stuck in a small cage with no room to move around. We asked a staff member if we could see him run around with the other cats. When she let the little cat out, he ran headfirst into a wall. The staff member told us that the cat was very sick and was going to be put down soon. We adopted him and took him home that day. That was in 2001. Now that little cat is the fat, happy and very healthy cat that we call Bonkers.
Bonkers is loved by everybody and loves them all right back. He likes sleeping in to sun and pawing at the widows when a bird is outside. Bonkers has earned the nickname “Lord Oken” because he thinks he is a fancy and royal human. His favorite food is the tuna juice he gets on special occasions. If you stay up late at night, you can see him try to catch his tail in the darkness. Bonkers has taught me and my family something. That little bud can burst into bloom, you just need to give it time and love. – Abigail Wilson If you have a special story about you and your pet you would like to share, e-mail a photo of your pet and a short story to jkey@communitypress.com.

Joe Henke draws a glass of Norton red wine from an oak barrel in the wine cellar at Henke Wine. The Westwood winery entered 10 wines in this year’s Ohio Wine Competition and received medals for all 10.
Henke Wine brings home 10 medals By Kurt Backscheider
kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Joe Henke goes to great lengths to produce wine that brings out the best flavors of the grapes he uses. His dedication and passion for making wine has paid off. The longtime Westwood resident, who owns Henke Wine in Westwood with his wife, Joan, entered 10 of his wines in the 2009 Ohio Wine Competition and received medals for all 10. “For a small winery, that’s really great,” he said. “It really helps the 10 to 12 hours you work each day feel worthwhile.” Henke Wine’s 2008 Riesling, a slowly fermented German-style white wine, received the Concordance Gold medal and was named the overall Best of Show at the Ohio competition. Winning awards is nothing new for the west-side vintner. His Norton wine was named the best red wine in Ohio at the 2007 competition, and again in 2008.
Henke’s other medalists
In addition to winning the Double Gold/Concordance Gold medal and overall Best of Show with his 2008 Riesling at the 2009 Ohio Wine Competition, Joe Henke also received medals for nine other wines. Henke’s Norton wine, 2007 cabernet franc and 2007 Vendange A Trois all received gold medals. Silver medals were awarded to the west-side winery for its 2007 reserve cabernet sauvignon, 2008 vidal blanc and 2008 cellar blush. Henke Wine received bronze medals for its 2007 merlot, 2008 Vin De Rouge and 2006 sparkling chardonnay.
KURT BACKSCHEIDER/STAFF
Joe Henke’s 2008 Riesling, a Germanstyle white wine, was named the overall Best in Show at the 2009 Ohio Wine Competition. In past years, Henke has also won awards for producing the best red wine in Ohio. “Lightning did strike twice,” Henke said. “Our Riesling won Best of Show this year, so to be the best for three years running is a tremendous feat.” His wines have also won medals at international wine competitions in California,
New York and Indiana. Henke said he began making wine in 1973 after his brother-in-law sent him a batch to try on a whim. “It was a hobby that got out of control,” he said. “My love and passion for making wine escalated from there.” He and his wife established the winery commercially in 1996 after years of encouragement from other professional vintners who affirmed he was producing premium wines. Henke Wine’s first winery was located in Winton Place, but their restaurant and winery has operated in the former Window Garden restaurant at the corner of
Harrison and Epworth avenues since 2001. Henke said all his wines, of which there are 15 varieties, are made on site in the cellar, and he strives to use Ohio grapes. “It is our mission to represent Ohio wine as a world class wine region,” he said. Each year the winery produces more than 4,000 gallons of wine, bottling about 1,700 cases of wine. Henke encourages people who have yet to visit his winery to stop by, grab a seat and sip and savor the variety of Henke Wine flavors. “We have some great things right here in Westwood,” he said.

Anything red white and blue is popular at the Fourth of July parade in Bill and Louise Hoelker’s neighborhood.
A White Oak neighborhood has stored up 40 years of red white and blue memories as it looks back on a Fourth of July staple, a community parade. What started as a way to give kids something to do” has grown into a parade that has endured for 41 years. In 1968, Jean and Bill Hoelker of February Drive in White Oak, their six children and cousins needed something to keep them occupied on the 4th of July holiday. “We just thought it would be fun for the kids to march around the neighborhood banging pots and pans,” remembers White Oak resident Bill Hoelker, now a father of eight children, 22 grandchildren, and 3 greatgrandchildren. “We wanted to have fun,
but at the same time remember our servicemen and women in the armed forces.” Parade organizers are planning a full morning for the neighborhood. Families participate by decorating bikes, scooters, wagons and strollers in their best patriotic fashion and walking the parade route that loops around Lapland Drive, Melody Manor, Newbridge Drive March Terrace and back along Lapland Drive to February Court. There are nine prize categories, popsicles and snacks and the very memorable fire hydrant spray by Colerain Township Fire Department. Parade starts on February Drive at 10 a.m. with lineup at 9:45 a.m. on Saturday, July 4.

The difference between freedom and license Hopefully we’re learning what freedom means. The majority of people confuse freedom with license. Recall the number of times you’ve heard someone state, “This is a free country, I can do what I want!” That assertion is incorrect. Freedom does not mean the ability to do anything we want. Freedom means the ability to choose to do what we ought. Doing anything we want or feel like doing is not freedom, but license. American Baptist minister and Harvard chaplain Peter Gomes explains, “Freedom’s only virtue is that it enables us to pursue that which God desires for us and which we, in our heart of hearts, desires for ourselves.” To understand and enjoy freedom requires reflective choices
about ourselves and the purpose of life. Our founders penned the Declaration of Independence. In a certain sense, it is actually a Declaration of Dependence on someone. For the Constitution of the United States makes its citizens independent of kings, dictators, parliaments, and even majorities as regards to our basic rights and liberties. But on what factor does the Constitution base our independence from kings and dictators? It grounds it on a previous dependence on the One who gave us our rights and dignity in the first place. It says it is because …” the Creator has endowed man with certain inalienable rights among which are the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
If our freedom came from a king or government, then that king or government could take it away. It is only because our freedom comes from God that it is called “inalienable,” i.e. cannot be taken away. In scripture, St. Paul showed how God is interested in a real revolution, a revolution against injustice, mistreatment, violence against others and hatred. In other words, it is a revolution against license that permits the dark side of human nature to ooze forth against others. Explaining, Paul writes, “For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters, but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, rather to serve one another through love.” He enumerates some of the
ways we freely choose to serve one another … through love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Freedom means to gain such a control over the dark part of our human nature that instead of choosing destructive actions, we choose goodness and all that is conductive to the growth and happiness of human nature. Freedom is far more difficult and demanding than license. In his book, “Man’s Search For Meaning,” Viktor Frankl tells of his own experience in a Nazi concentration camp. He reflects on the irony that he never felt so free as he did during that horrible experience. Even though all other obvious freedoms and choices had been taken away from him, no matter how terrible the external condi-
tions might be, he still had the freedom of his own thoughts and attitudes. He could choose to see and act with the eyes of a free Father Lou spirit. Guntzelman “None can love freedom Perspectives heartily but good men: the rest love not freedom, but license,” declared John Milton. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@community press.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.
Foreclosures may be affecting your home’s value The large number of foreclosures in the Tristate is having a dramatic effect on the value of homes in some areas. As a result, some people are finding it impossible to sell their house for anything close to what they imagined. Amanda Frank said she can’t sell her West Chester house for the $107,000 she wanted because the buyer’s appraisal of her home came in much lower. “The couple that was going to borrow it had an FHA loan. They came back
and did an appraisal and it came back appraised a t $80,000,” she said. “That Howard Ain is $8,000 Hey Howard! less than our current mortgage and $3,000 than our 2008 Butler County tax appraisal.” The appraiser said he gave such a low value based on recent home sales in the area.
“They said the comparative sales within the neighborhood do admit there’s a downward trend in the pricing,” Frank said. Two doors away from Frank’s home a house is listed for about $105,000. But, just a few homes away another house, roughly the same size, is listed for just $70,000, as that homeowner tries to do a short sale – selling for less than the amount owed on the mortgage. Yet another house, just three doors away from Frank’s home, is getting a
new roof from new owners. That house had been sorely neglected and the repairs will help increase the value of the home – but more is needed in that neighborhood to get home values to recover. “Who wants to hear that without a predatory lender, without an adjustable rate mortgage, without buying on the bubble, here you are upside down on your current mortgage,” Frank said. “I knew it was bad. We have a lot of family who are out of work. We have had some friends who are in
foreclosure situations and it’s unfortunate – but in our neighborhood I had no idea,” she said. The Franks have put nearly $100,000 into their house, which is now valued at just $80,000. They’re not alone. Friends nearby have a buyer for their home, willing to pay $126,000, but they too are finding comparable sales are less than $100,000. So, you may want to think twice about making improvements to your home.
And, before you put your house on the market, carefully check out the latest comparable sales in your area to make sure you too aren’t surprised by an appraisal you may receive.

‘Turnover’ a new cherry dessert this summer Well, between the birds and the deer, the wildlife in my little world is fed well. The birds are eating my elderberries before they’re even ripe. The deer chomped down my sunflowers and I’m praying they don’t have a hankering for my heirloom squash like they did last year. In spite of this, though, I remember what my Mom always said: plant enough for yourself and God’s good creatures, as well. (I’m beginning to think, however, that the deer and birds are awfully greedy – I don’t mind sharing, but we have to eat, too!)
Cherry turnovers
I like to use sour pie cherries from my tree. You can use fresh, canned if they’re drained and frozen pie cherries for this. You’ll need 12 ounces or so. Don’t thaw the frozen cherries. 3 tablespoons flour, plus
more for dusting 1 box puff past r y , thawed 12 oz. or so frozen, Rita fresh or Heikenfeld c a n n e d , Rita’s kitchen d r a i n e d cherries (leave frozen cherries undrained) 1 ⁄2 cup sugar or more to taste Squeeze or two of lemon juice 1 egg yolk beaten with a tablespoon of water (egg wash) Sugar for sprinkling Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough (leave folded but check to see if there’s paper between the folds and remove) on floured surface into a rectangle about 10-by-14. Trim edges. Cut each into quarters to make 8 smaller rectangles. Mix cherries,
extra sugar stirred in. That will be your filling without anything else added.

flour, sugar and lemon juice. Place a nice mound on one side of each rectangle, leaving one-half inch border. Lightly brush border with water and fold other side of pastry over mixture and press to seal. Crimp edges with floured fork. Put on baking sheet and cut several slits on top of each. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with a bit of sugar. Bake until puffed and golden, about 35 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature.

For Freida, a Recorder reader. Melt one-third cup butter and keep it hot. Meanwhile, in a blender, put 2 room temperature egg yolks and 2 teaspoons lemon juice and blend. With motor running on low, slowly add hot butter in a thin, steady stream. You’ll see the mixture thicken as you go. If necessary, add a bit of hot water if it’s too thick. Add salt and pepper to taste.

St. Vincent de Paul collecting at local church
©
We’re building a future with you in mind. June 2009
Dear Community Member,
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul will host Clean Out and Donate Weekends to collect critically needed household items, furniture and clothing at several Greater Cincinnati churches. A SVDP truck will be onsite Saturdays and Sundays at Assumption Church, 7711 Joseph Street in Mount Healthy July 11-12. The truck will be attended before and after Sunday church services for donorconvenience – donor tax receipts will be available. The economic downturn is creating a record need for furniture, household items, and clothing while reducing the quantity of items being donated. “It is a life-changing experience to go into someone’s home and see the family eating in shifts because they don’t have enough plates for everyone. Even worse, many have no kitchen table. They can’t even sit together as a family for a meal,” said Liz Carter, executive director, St. Vincent de Paul. St. Vincent de Paul members visit needy families and offer assistance, regardless of race or religious affiliation. It accepts donations of gently used clothing, household items, furniture and cars year-round. Free pick-up service is available for large items. Call 421-CARE (2273) to arrange a pick up, or you may drop off your donations at any of the six Cincinnati area thrift stores. Tax receipts are available for donated items.
With the unanimous approval from the Green Township Trustees, we have taken another very important step in plans to enhance access to high-quality healthcare in Cincinnati, western Hamilton County and beyond. A new hospital located at I-74 and North Bend Road is an important component of these plans. As you may be aware, Mercy Health Partners has acquired the rights to purchase 60 acres of land on North Bend Road, between Kleeman and Boomer roads in Green Township. Additional steps are still required before the proposal receives final approval. As that work continues, we will continue to grow our services and provide high-quality care over the coming years at Mercy Hospital Western Hills and Mercy Hospital Mt. Airy. We plan to transition the inpatient services from these hospitals when the new hospital is complete. In giving its unanimous approval to the land use amendment, the trustees highlighted the positives the project will offer, while providing research and statistics that effectively addressed concerns related to traffic and noise. Below are the key aspects of the project. • Our overall plans will enhance access for residents in Cincinnati and western Hamilton County to acute care, primary care and a variety of outpatient services, including chronic care management. • The new hospital will be state-of-the-art and incorporate the latest advancements in patient care and comfort, offer leading physicians in a wide variety of specialties, and feature cutting-edge technology. Proposed services include full-service emergency care, cancer care, and a comprehensive heart program. • Planners envision a truly green hospital campus that will include buffers near homes and schools, and walking/biking trails that connect to the new trail system being planned for the township’s parks. We are excited about the progress we are making in developing plans for the proposed site. Your input is always welcome. You can submit your questions and comments, and stay updated on the project, by visiting us online at www.mercywest.com. Sincerely,
Paul C. Hiltz President & CEO Mercy Hospital Mt. Airy

Nursing students visit Ronald McDonald House Nursing majors from the College of Mount St. Joseph paid a visit the Ronald McDonald House last month, with food and supplies in hand. The students learned about the services provided through the Ronald McDonald House last fall in their “Community Search Project” class, and felt the need to
help them in some way. Led by student Trisha Chastang, whose grandfather is a longtime volunteer at the house, the students scheduled a date to serve a meal for those residing there. The students raised money from the sale of Tshirts they designed, canvassed the community for donations for the meal and

Bed & Breakfast It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 1875 Homestead B&B, a charming Country Victorian home built in the late 1800’s. Located on State Road 46, 3 1/2 miles east of Nashville, Indiana, the home sits on five peaceful acres where you can relax and escape the “hustle-bustle” and crowds of the village. We invite you to step back in time with us as you enter our romantically restored home. After a day of hiking in our beautiful Brown County State Park, or shopping in the village, you may want to choose a book or movie from our library, or simply relax on the porch or in the hammock. On cool evenings, you can enjoy telling stories around the outdoor fire. Complementary soft drinks and homemade cookies are available each afternoon and evening. Each of our guest rooms are beautifully appointed King and Queen size rooms with luxury bedding, private in-room baths, cable TV/VCR, and sitting areas.
