Station closing after 60 years

In August 1949, the late Herb Niehaus proudly opened Mt. Airy Sunoco. Sixty years later, his son is closing the doors. On Thursday, Aug. 13, a 60year tradition at the corner of Colerain Avenue and Blue Rock Road will go on the auction block. Now called Mt. Airy Sales, the business is no longer a full service gas station. Dan Niehaus, who has worked there for 35 years, is a oneman repair shop. It’s time to move on, he says. When he started working for his dad in 1973, it was the heyday of the independently owned gas station. Gas stations were still full service. Attendants pumped your gas, checked the oil and cleaned your windshield. There were mechanics on duty. Dan Niehaus remembers when the station was a busy business. “From the 1940s to the 1970s, it was a really good business,” he said. “In 1973, it was nonstop here.” He says the big downslide began when self-serve stations began to pop up. “People wanted to save a dime a gallon,” he said. “And as the big gas companies grew, they didn’t need the independent guy any-

Dan Niehaus is in the final days of a 60-year family business tradition. He is closing his car repair business, formerly a full service gas station at Colerain Avenue and Blue Rock Road in Green Township. He is auctioning off the property Aug. 13. more. We got less and less support from them. Eventually, we changed over to car repair.” His most vivid memory is the impact of the years of the blizzards.
“It was crazy. Our phone rang off the hook,” he said. “People couldn’t get their cars started. The phone just never stopped ringing.” Dan is a Colerain High School
graduate who has lived in the community his whole life. His fiancé Lisa Medl says people know Dan and have been bringing their cars in for years – generations. She’s hoping they stop by before the auction. “Some people get a new car every two years; others drive them for 15 years, and then hand them over to the kids,” he said. “We’ve taken care of them.” Dan says the economy has made it hard for the individual business to continue. He says the profit’s just not there, and it’s a lot of work with small return. “You can’t really have a oneman show anymore,” he said. “It’s not worth it for one guy to keep the building up. You not only have the work, you have to worry about the roof, the plumbing, cleaning, there is a lot of fixing to do. And you have to keep up with the fixing,” he said. Now, he’s looking around for a job in a dealership or a shop. “I am ready for a job where I can do my job and go home and someone else can worry about the fixing.” As he closes out the family business, Dan says he’s been saying goodbye to customers and getting ready for the next step. “I’ve been here since 1973,” he said. “I think it’s time for a breather.”
Principal has primary reason to be happy By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com Colerain Township resident Linda Dawes was sent to the principal’s office last week. And she loves it. After more than 20 years in the classroom and as an instructional specialist, she is stepping up to lead Welch Elementary School, following retiring principal Sammie Croley. She started Aug. 1. It wasn’t a big leap. For the past two years Dawes has been the administrative specialist and assistant to the principal at Struble Elementary School. She knows her way around the district, having taught at Monfort Heights, Houston and Colerain elementary schools, as well. “I’ve been contemplating it for a while,” she said. “This was sooner than I really expected but I am very excited.” Especially because Welch is a primary building, housing only students in kindergarten, first and second grade. “Primary is really my passion,” she said. “Even when I first taught at Houston Elementary, I felt a primary building just made sense.” Dawes says she cannot wait for her staff and students to start school. She hopes to foster an

Fred Wittmeyer, director of the Ohio Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America, said the games are only open to veterans with spinal cord injuries or damage from diseases such as multiple sclerosis or ALS. He said the games are good for the veterans and he encourages them to be involved with the PVA. “I have always been very competitive and strive for the best,� Cole said. “Competing in the National Veterans Wheelchair Games has awakened my competitive side and given me goals to strive for.� Athletes in the Games compete within classes according to the level of their physical ability.

Cole said, in the lack of attention the team received as they prepared to leave for the July games. “Other cities gave their athletes quite a send-off and show of support,� he said. “We saw their coverage.

Cincinnati News Service Federal investigators have suggested several improvements after an investigation of an April 2008 fire that killed two Colerain Township fire fighters, but say the suggestions probably would not have prevented their deaths. Capt. Robin Broxterman and firefighter Brian Schira were killed April 4, 2008 when a floor collapsed as they battled a house fire, trapping them in the basement. In an investigative report, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health says “key contributing factors� in the fire were an incomplete initial evaluation of the fire, disorientation of victims and radio communication problems. The fire was well-developed before the fire department arrived at the house, the report said. The report recommended the use of thermal imaging cameras to assess interior conditions and improved dispatch information on the call.

New one-day miracle for denture sufferers
Are you not eating what you want to because of difficulties with your dentures? Do they wander, shift or tilt? Are you replacing them all the time? Have you been told you don’t have enough bone for traditional dental implants?
MDIs, which measure 1.8 millimeters in diameter, are basically smaller versions of traditional implants that can be placed without the surgical opening of the gums. “If you can handle visiting your dentist in the morning, having the MDI system placed in less that two hours and then going out and enjoying lunch at your favorite restaurant while you eat comfortably, talk and smile with confidence, then you’re ready for this process,” says Dr. Omeltschenko. “It’s that easy. With MDIs your denture feels secure and is held firmly in place. At about a third of the price of traditional implants, they’re extremely affordable, too,” he adds. If your dentures are not firmly placed and you would like to experience the convenience that this technology can offer, call the office of Dr. Christopher Omeltschenko today at (513) 245-2200 for a free, no-obligation consultation (a $150 value).

Green Township purchased the Schwab Excavating Inc. property at 3060 Blue Rock Road, which is near the township’s Blue Rock Park. The owner is closing the business due to the bad economy, and the township will construct a salt dome on the property and use the site as a distribution center for salt trucks in the winter.
Blue Rock business to be Green salt dome By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Celarek Schlimm “We bought the property because it’s going to house a satellite salt dome,” Celarek said. “The property is also near our park on Blue Rock Road, and we thought it was a very wise move to service our park and make our snow removal and salt distribution system more efficient.” Green Township Public Services Director Fred Schlimm said having a second location for salt trucks allows the township to better serve residents of White Oak and Monfort Heights. He said salt trucks headed to the northern section of the township often get stuck in traffic on North Bend Road when it snows. “There have been times when our drivers have had to sit in traffic on North Bend for more than an hour, and unlike police cruisers and fire engines, people don’t have to pull over to the side of the road for our salt trucks,” he said. “Now we will be able to dispatch crews from this new facility.”

The closing of a longtime family business has provided Green Township the opportunity to improve the way it clears snow and spreads salt on township roads in the winter. Jerry Schwab, owner of Schwab Excavating Inc. at 3060 Blue Rock Road, is closing the business his father started in 1952, and Green Township has purchased the property. Schwab said it was a difficult decision to close the business and put his three employees out of work, but the business couldn’t endure the tough economy. “It was something that I didn’t take lightly,” he said. “The economy didn’t help the situation.” He said he’s been working part time in the marketing industry for the past few years, and now he’ll pursue a full-time position in marketing. He said the three employees he had to let go are in the process of finding new jobs. “It’s definitely hard,” he said. Green Township Administrator Kevin Celarek said the township purchased the Schwab Excavating building and the one acre of property it sits on for $280,000.

Colerain area squads breaking a sweat By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
The cross country season has arrived. Here’s a look at area teams who hope to keep pace in 2009.
Colerain
First-year head coach Mark Bierkan inherits seven of the top nine girls’ runners from a team that finished fourth in the GMC, first as districts, third at regionals and 16th at state. The top returning starters are senior Kristen Wells and juniors Marisel Lopez, Allison Steinbeck, Stacey Sulken, Alex Work and Sam Work. The Cardinals should also get a boost from junior Sarah Mikkelson and freshmen Kabrella Clark and Morgan Pleasant. “We have a strong group of underclassmen and more depth than last season with about 10 girls who at any point could crack into the top seven,” Bierkan said. On the boys’ side, the Cardinals finished fifth in the GMC last year and fell four points short of making an appearance at regionals for the first time since 2002. Junior Craig Sulken, an individual regional-qualifier in 2008, will lead Colerain this season, along with senior Jeffrey Denny, juniors Brendan McDonough and Victor Zeinner and sophomore Eric Tomczewski. Other Cardinals expected to expand their roles are juniors Craig White and David Friedhoff, as well as sophomores Dillan Coulter and Austin Cox. “We have a strong core group of underclassmen that should lead the way this year,” Bierkan said.
La Salle
The Lancers return their top two runners – juniors Travis Hawes and Ethan Bokeno – from a team that won the GCL title and finished 15th at state. Also returning are juniors Alex Thiery and

AMIE DWORECKI/STAFF
La Salle High School junior Travis Hawes is the top returner for the Lancers in 2009. A state qualifier in 2008, Hawes and fellow junior Ethan Bokeno form arguably the top one-two punch in the city. Kevin Kluesener and sophomore Clayton Cardinal, all of whom have state-meet experience under their soles. With such an abundance of young talent, La Salle is a safe bet to make it the state meet this year and next.
Northwest
The girls’ team will rely on seniors Jolie Hasselbeck and Jalian Turner to lead them to a second straight FAVC-Scarlet championship. Other returning starters include Megan Reed and Ashleigh Hobson, while Brandi Penny, Miriah McDonald and Danielle Day are among the Knights’ promising newcomers. The boys’ team, meanwhile, will rely on returning senior starters Jeremy Myers and Corey
Flynn, as well as junior Tanner Agin. Josh Kimmey and Jack Giblin also figure to be in the mix. “This season we hope to strength our boys’ and girls’ teams,” said head coach Sara Neville. “The team hopes to shorten their race times and hopefully have a great season.”
McAuley
The McAuley Mohawks, which finished fourth in the GGCL and seventh at districts in 2008, hope the addition of Ron Russo, who won four girls’ cross country state championships at Colerain, will lead to bigger and better things in 2009 and beyond. Among the key returners are seniors Lizzie Helping and Emily Schoenlaub, juniors Jen Beck and Mallory Waters, and sophomore Sarah Pierce. “(Schoenlaub has shown a toughness about her that you can’t coach,” Russo said. “(And Waters) has probably come further (than anyone) in the shortest amount of time thus far.” Rising stars are sophomores Danielle Pfeifer and Cara Vordenberge and freshman Olivia Schaefer. “My expectations are very

They want to win and want to win now. I’m excited to see just how far we can take this program this year and for years to come.”
Mount Healthy
The top returners for the Mount Healthy High School Fighting Owls boys’ cross country team are senior Aaron Ector, junior Sean Schuler and sophomores Kami Brown and Clive Lewis. No information on the girls’ team was available by press time.
Roger Bacon
The girls’ team was runner-up in the GGCL Grey Central division in 2008 and hopes to get over the hump with returning starters
Emily Richmond and Cassie Lipp. The boys’ team finished third in the league last year, but returns a trio of talented starters – Sam Heister, Jon Mathis and Matt Wurtzler. Both teams finished fourth at the district meet to qualify for regionals. “We have a strong core group returning (on both teams) and expect good things from this group of runners,” head coach Jan Ryan said.
St. Xavier
The St. Xavier High School Bombers finished second to La Salle in the GCL in 2008 and placed 12th at the state meet. This year they will led by seniors Eric Gruenbacher, Gus Walter, Adam Hasse, Tyler Smith and John Redden.

Also contributing will be senior Joe Farmer. “We have a lot of inexperience this season,� head coach John Cecere said. “The players have had good summer workouts and are starting to see what it takes to compete at the varsity level.

Prior to the election, I compared Barack Obama to Willie Wonka and the voters to Oompa Loompas. In hindsight, I was being kind. Voters fell hard for the smoothtalking senator and his promises of change, just as the Oompa Loompas did with Wonka. But unlike Wonka, Obama is not offering us a safe and secure job at his candy factory. Instead he is giving away the store to labor unions and the fat cats that control them. He is demonizing big business and the wealthy, talking down to the middle class and promising those who contribute the least in our society the most. We already take care of the young, the sick and the old. We give aid to unwed mothers, rent subsidies and food cards to the poor and health care to illegals. But that is not sufficient for Obama. He feels the need to take over Wall Street, big banks, car companies and the healthy care industry. He plans to devastate our industrial base, coal industry, and gas and oil companies through cap and trade. He plans to tax those among us who are trying to get rich more and let those,

CH@TROOM Last week’s question: Should Major League Baseball reinstate Pete Rose? Why or why not? “Pete Rose should be considered for the Hall of Fame. He now claims he did not bet on baseball as a player, only as a non-playing manager. The Dowd report does not substantiate this. IF he is made eligible he would have to be voted in by the veterans committee. The sports writers only vote for the first 15 years after a player has been out of baseball 5 years. Pete has served his time and paid dearly for his mistakes. If necessary he could be put in the “proposed” new Hall of Fame Steroid Wing. My guess is Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig will do nothing. He is good at that. Go figure!” T.D.T. “Yes. Michael Vick, who only received a 23-month sentence for dogfighting, is eligible to be reinstated to the NFL and will likely be playing somewhere this fall. Not only was it just gambling on dogfighting and financing its operations, this boil on the buttocks of society also tortured losing dogs by electrocution, drowning and gunshot. What a sick, sociopathic individual. “Pete simply gambled on baseball, without any of the barbarianism exhibited by Michael Vick, and he is banned for life. How is that fair? It’s not, and if that is all the punishment Vick received for such revolting acts, then Pete has definitely paid his debt to society. I think most people would agree with this.” L.L.F. “Truthfully, I don’t care. But it does make me think again, as I have so many times in my life, about why people tend to elevate certain people to virtual sainthood based solely on athletic ability (which is usually something an individual inherits from his/her genetic makeup) or popularity as an entertainer. “In my life, I have known so many wonderful people who have given so much to others in terms of their time and talent, and have remained unknown and unrecognized.

This week’s question What are your favorite and least favorite memories from your school days? Every week The Northwest Press asks readers a questions that they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answers to northwestpress@communitypre ss.com with “chatroom” in the subject line. “For example, there is a young couple in our parish who have adopted a number of children, assuming lifetime responsibility for their care and development. The couple are white, and the children are black and mixed race. “These people are far more worthy of recognition and attention than any Pete Rose or Michael Jackson.” B.B. “Yes, his playing earned it. He’s paid for his mistake long enough.” J.F. “A few years ago I’d have said no, because he broke the rules and knew all along that banishment would be the punishment if he got caught. “But, with the recent steroid revelations, and the fact that many of the newly disclosed offenders will still be eligible for the Hall of Fame, or at least allowed to make a living in baseball, again – I say welcome him back. 4,256 hits speak for themselves.” P.C. “I was not a resident of Cincinnati during the days of the Big Red Machine and not a baseball fan either, so my opinion is very different than many die-hard Reds fans. “I think professional athletes need to follow the laws of the land and the ethics of their team, whether that means not betting on or against one’s team, taking steroids, killing dogs, abusing men or women, or driving while intoxicated. “I realize Pete Rose was a great baseball player, but he had no control over choosing from right and wrong. Why should he be rewarded?” E.E.C.

Can-do attitude empowers community The proposed Mercy Hospital project has brought Green Township to a crossroads. We can choose to either be a provincial can’t-do’ community, or a progressive can-do community which embraces positive change. If we are a can’t-do community, our mindset will be one of dreaming up as many roadblocks to the proposal as possible. We will continue to raise the same tired objections to the project’s location, it’s impact on traffic, etc., etc. Conversely, if we are of a cando mindset, we will approach the situation much like Mercy Hospital personnel and Green Township Trustees Winkler, Upton, and Linnenberg have. They listened to all the issues, and addressed each of them. Police Chief West, Assistant Fire Chief Souders, and Economic Development Director Goetzman helped research various items such as safety, crime, noise and property values. Each concern was found to be without merit. Perhaps the most important issue is why the hospital should be constructed in the first place. There comes a time in the life of certain facilities, like hospitals, when upgrading them to incorporate the
latest technology is not economically viable. Couple that with a mission to continuously find better ways to serve a target community, and the decision Steve to build a new Weidner facility in a more central location to Community the population the Press guest o r g a n i z a t i o n columnist wishes to serve makes sense. It does not automatically follow that the older facilities it replaces will be abandoned. Mercy Mount Airy and Mercy Western Hills can continue to provide their neighborhoods with useful outpatient services. As a big bonus, construction of the new hospital and possible renovation of the two existing facilities will provide a much-needed economic boost to our area. From the viewpoint of my engineering background, this project is proceeding along a path that takes our community’s needs, concerns and expectations into consideration. There is a long way to go, including determination of exactly
what services are to be offered, exact number of beds, exact configuration of the hospital and other buildings, and their exact sizes, number of floors, and cost. The process for a project like this is methodical, detailed, and costly because there is much at stake. So, while many people would like to see the complete plan laid out for all to see, it makes much more sense to develop the concept for general approval by the community and regulatory agencies before proceeding to the expensive part of the design effort. All indications are that this hospital will be constructed. So, how about if we put aside the animosity that has proliferated in previous articles and blogs? It’s not becoming to us as neighbors in the same community. Together, let’s adopt a can-do spirit that empowers us to shape the very best outcome for Green Township. Steve Weidner is a Cincinnati native who has lived in Green Township for nearly 30 years. He is a registered professional engineer in a consulting engineering practice. He lives on Hubble Road
Remember those who came before As we have been celebrating Green Township’s 200th anniversary, I’ve been curious if any mention would be made of the people who lived here before our ancestors settled this land. That the first mention of Native Americans I’m aware of would be used in the same sentence with the word exterminated actually didn’t surprise me. Betty Kamuf’s fine article “Green history began in mid1790s” in the July 15 edition caught my attention with the sentences from Isaac Jackson’s letter to his wife that said, “The Indian problem that was much talked about in New York was not a problem here. He expected they would be run off or exterminated by winter.” The word exterminated means to destroy totally or, basically, genocide. Genocide is the planned termination of a national or racial group. Some countries are brought before the World Court today for genocide. I don’t know if this was the official policy of our government, but through broken treaties and a constant push to move the Indians
to the west, it may as well have been. Washington, Jefferson and especially Jackson later, who ignored the Supreme Court, ignored treaties and let Michael H. the Indians be Haap pushed to the Community west. History, both Press guest military and columnist American, is one of my interests. The more I read about our country’s systematic destruction of the Native Americans, the more I understand the many failings of our great country, such as slavery and now immigration. One person I know says the solution to the immigration problem is to plant a minefield on the Mexican border. Do we really learn from history? I don’t think so. One of the reasons our government pressured the Indians was that some of them chose to side with the British during both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. The Indians did this
because of the continual breaking of treaties as we pushed westward into the continent. It became a downward spiral of resistance, treaty, broken treaty and more resistance. Now those of you who have read about the Indians in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana know that all of them didn’t fight our government continually. Some signed treaties for their tribes or even other tribes. Even within individual tribes, there was disagreement on how to resolve their plight. Tecumseh, one of the greatest Americans, tried to unite the tribes against the whites. He almost succeeded. Although if he had, I believe he and the tribes would have eventually been defeated or pushed further west. A major problem the Indians had was a lack of replacements for their wounded and killed warriors. The whites just kept coming. So as we celebrate our 200th, let’s not forget whose graves we stand on – Miami, Shawnee, Erie and other tribes. Michael H. Haap is a resident of Green Township.

The emerging spirituality of imperfection Trying to be perfect in anything is a huge mistake. That’s because we’re human. It’s doubly so when it comes to the spiritual part of being human. It’s said the first prayer of a human is a cry for help. “O God, come to my assistance, O Lord make haste to help me,� (Psalm 70) begins a monastic’s prayer. Bill Wilson, founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, never did “get religion,� but he did become a spiritual man. Through the pain of his life experience he came to realize that unless he made connection with a power greater than himself, he was lost. He was convinced that “We must find some spiritual basis for living, else we die.� Some people think being spiritual means becoming perfect. Not at all. Throughout the centuries
there has gradually emerged a spirituality of imperfection. A spirituality of imperfection says that the first step involves facing Father Lou oneself squarely Guntzelman and seeing ourPerspectives selves as we are: mixed-up, incomplete, and imperfect. To be human is to be errorprone. We are more than the beasts, less than God, yet somehow we are both. Authors Ernest Kurtz and Katherine Ketcham write, “Spirituality helps us first to see, and then to understand, and eventually to accept the imperfection that lies at the very core of our human be-
ing.� Spirituality is not a formula to follow; it is a relationship with God. Spirituality is not about competency; it is about intimacy. Spirituality is not about perfection and doing everything right; it’s about connection. In “Messy Spirituality� Michael Yaconelli states, “The way of the spiritual life begins where we are now in the mess of our lives. Accepting the reality of our broken, flawed lives is the beginning of spirituality, not because the spiritual life will remove our flaws but because we let go of seeking perfection and, instead, seek God, the one who is present in the tangledness of our lives.� A more terse description of our flawed nature is contained in O’Neill’s play “The Great God Brown,� “Man is born broken. He
lives by mending. The grace of God is the glue.� Hopefully along the way we become more humble, loving and compassionate. The steps along the way are not ascending some recognizable glorious staircase called ego, but learning to live the ordinariness of our everyday lives. “Don’t fuss too much about yourself, or fight the truth, just accept yourself and grow,� said an old spiritual director. As Henri Nouwen wrote in his “Genesee Diary,� “He who thinks that he is finished is finished. Those who think they have arrived, have lost their way. Those who think they have reached their goal, have missed it. Those who think they are saints, are demons.� The secular world does not encourage people to acknowledge
the spiritual aspect of our nature. Rather it rages against religious systems which they believe deprive us of our desires and physical vitality. David Tacey says of the secularist, “When religion is rejected, it does not mean that the spirit and soul go away or disappear. They are simply repressed into the unconscious where they become factors of disturbance and causes of psychic suffering.� Imperfection is the crack in our armor, the wound that lets God in. 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.

Local lenders best when mortgage issues arise Despite federal efforts to get mortgage lenders to do more to help homeowners remain in the homes, the number of foreclosures continues to increase. More than 200,000 trial loan modifications are now underway, but the government wants double that amount by November. Robin Peach of Burlington is one of those homeowners who have had trouble with her mortgage for the past two years. “I’ve had problems with them in the past, and I started paying them with Quick Collect from Western Union. But, back in March the bank sent two of my payments back to me,� Peach says. A letter from the bank said Peach had defaulted on

active foreclosure. They sent another two payments back to me on Saturday. They’re not accepting my money. I’ve got about four grand, almost five grand floating around,� Peach says. A January letter from her bank says she’s behind in her payments by $2,800, plus $100 in late fees. Peach says she doesn’t understand how the bank came up with those figures but hasn’t been able to get any answers. She hired an attorney in December but says that hasn’t helped. I had Peach call her bank directly and I got on the line to try to figure out what’s going on. Peach says, “I’m very frustrated. It’s just that I’m very busy at work and I
don’t have time to deal with this. But, I have to have a place to live.� Unfortunately, Peach is dealing with an out-of-state lender so she can’t just go over and talk with a manager. Bank officials I talked with on the phone tell me they don’t want her house and would rather she be out of foreclosure. They told me the bank did receive her payments for November and December but just hadn’t applied them to her account. Yet, they applied the January payment before putting her into active foreclosure. I explained how she now has thousands of dollars in

Officials say that team should finally be able to get all this confusion resolved – and expressed confidence she could get out foreclosure. Once she gets out of foreclosure Peach says she plans to contact a local sav-
ings and loan to see if she can refinance. I’ve found it’s always best to have your loan serviced by a local bank or savings and loan because, if there’s ever any problem, you have someone you can talk with face-to-face rather than trying to deal with many different people over the phone.

in the region in September. A spokesman for the retailer confirmed that the discount version of Sears department store has signed a five-year lease for 25,000 square feet of space at Colerain Towne Center, a Walmart Supercenter-anchored shopping plaza northeast of Interstate 275 on Colerain Avenue. Sears Outlet will replace a vacant TJ Maxx store. Other tenants at the center include Dick’s Sporting Goods, Hobby Lobby and PetSmart. Sears Outlet sells appliances, tools, fitness equipment, televisions and mattresses at a 20 percent to 60 percent discount from retail prices, said Chris Brathwaite, a Sears spokesman.
John Thompson, a partner with Everest Real Estate, represented the landlord, Kimco Realty Group, in the deal. He said that Sears will open a second outlet store this year in Northern Kentucky. Brathwaite declined to comment on the second location. Everest Group is also marketing the 24,000square-foot space currently occupied by OfficeMax in the center. The retailer has not yet renewed its lease, which expires in August 2010, Thompson said. Sears joins a growing list of national retailers to establish discount stores in the region. Nordstrom will open its value-priced Rack store in Norwood’s Rookwood
Pavilion in November. Cincinnati Premium Outlets will open in August, anchored by Sak’s Off 5th Store. And Totes recently opened an outlet at Cincinnati Mall. It’s a trend that will continue, said Dave Sheehy, a retail broker with Brandt Retail Group. “People are looking for value and don’t have as much income to expend,” he said. He represents Dollar Tree, a retailer aggressively expanding in the region. Discount retailers also have an opportunity to lease space in more prominent locations as mid-size and big-box retailers like Circuit City, TJ Maxx and World Market have closed, Sheehy said.

Family closing Springfield jewelry business By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
It’s been a family business since Edward Eckerle marched home from World War I and opened his jewelry store. His granddaughter, Chris Freel, is the last family member to operate what Eckerle started as a watch repair business in Elmwood Place in 1919. “He had a corner in another business and would sit in a chair and fix watches,� Freel said. From there, the family moved to the Brentwood Shopping Center and then to its current store at 8578 Winton Road. Eckerle Jewelers will close for good Saturday, Aug. 22, with an everything-must-go sale from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Freel, who lives in Springfield Township, blames the economy for forcing her to close. “People just aren’t spending their money on luxury items,� she said. “The price of gold has gone so high and we can’t make it replacing watch batteries all day.� While she and her daughter Sarah Snyder, also a Springfield Township resident, would love to stay put, they said they’ve had to face the financial reality of a sagging economy. “I started coming to the store when I was about 3,� Snyder said. “We’ve had the same customers for years and years and some just stop by to say hi and give us a hug and tell us about their day.� Before she finished her sentence Lori Merz wandered into the store for a quick watch repair. Stunned at the news her favorite jewelry store was closing, Merz said her husband bought her engagement ring from an Eckerle display case. “We’ve know them for years and I hate it that they’re closing,� Merz said. “My husband remembers when he was a little boy and collecting coins. “He would bring a handful of pennies to Mr. Eckerle just about every day for him to look at and see if he had anything valuable.

Chris Freel, left, and her daughter Sarah Snyder pose by a framed photo of Edward Eckerle, their grandfather and great-grandfather who founded the family business. “And, I have the most beautiful engagement ring in the world.� Freel and Snyder said they’ve had the perk of working together for the past 14 years. Freel said she’s logged more than 40 years at the store. “I feel lucky, too, that I got to work with grandpa every day,� Snyder said of Jack Eckerle, Freel’s late father.
Neither woman has a definite plan for when the store is closed. Freel said she’s likely going to find a part-time job and Snyder said she may try being a full-time stay-at-home mom to her two children. “We really haven’t let ourselves think about that,� Freel said. “This is all we’ve known our entire lives. It’s going to be hard to close.�

A healthy and well-fed pet helps make for a happier owner. Wesley Community Services’ Meals-On-Wheels program provides senior citizens with a nutritionally balanced meal each day, and now with the help of Iams Co. and SPCA, Pet Portions allows for seniors to receive free cat or dog food for their pet too. The program began in June 2006, when MealsOn-Wheels delivery drivers began to notice something in some of their clients’ homes. “We found out that some of our Meals-On-Wheels clients who have a dog or a cat were sharing their Meals-On-Wheels with their pet,” said Stephen Smookler, executive director at
Wesley Community Services. Smookler said that employees at Wesley Community Services knew that the meals they delivered were beneficial for the seniors but they were not proper food for the pet. “One of the biggest problems with seniors is that they don’t take in enough food, so (sharing with their cat or dog) would cut down on the food they take in,” said Smookler. He said there are somewhere between 75 and 100
Meals-On-Wheels recipients receive pet food for their cat or a dog, which is about 20 percent of their clients. Wesley Community Services understands the importance of a pet in their clients’ life, he said, because often times much of their life may revolve around the animal. “If you’re living alone and you have medical problems then that dog or cat is your whole world,” said Smookler. He said that pets bring comfort to seniors and help prevent them from feeling alone.

“Many of our seniors don’t have any family members so the pet really is their social connection,” said Smookler. Marleah Nichols, 72, lives in Bridgetown and has been a Meals-On-Wheels for about five years. She also receives Pet Portions. Nichols’ 4- year old pet terrier Caesar receives free Iams dog food from Pet Portions every two weeks, she said. Nichols has always owned a dog, and can not imagine living without one. Since she lives alone, Caesar is a major part of her life. “It’s companionship,” she said. When Nichols first took Caesar into her home from the SPCA, he was not in very good health. “He was sick when I got him and he started in on the food from Wesley right away,” said Nichols. With the food from the program, Nichols has seen an improvement in Caesar’s health and energy level. “It’s really convenient,” she said. “Plus, it’s a good brand of dog food.” “If (the pet) is not doing well, it makes (the owner) unhappy,” said Smookler. “So if we can keep the pet fed then we think we’ve helped our client.”

REAL ESTATE THIS WEEK By Mark Schupp
DO “BABY BOOMERS” DRIVE REAL ESTATE BOOMS?
Some economists link the buying habits of “baby boomers” to the demand for homes in this country. Since most of the “boomers” have already bought their home, they conclude, the demand for housing is declining, along with the rapid appreciation in real estate during the last decade. This argument presumes that the population will stabilize or decline as these potential buyers age and their children grow up. What is left out of such a picture is that the emerging real estate market is made up of people who are immigrating to this country. When these newcomers have achieved a stable income, they look for the best living situation they can find, often preferring buying to renting. Real estate continues to be an attractive investment opportunity. If you are sitting out the current market because you are afraid that the appreciation won’t continue, you may want to re-think your decision. Today’s market is providing opportunities for homeowners and smart investors from all over the globe. Mark Schupp has been a Real Estate Agent for the past 28 years and is a Certified Residential Specialist. He has won many awards including the Top Unit Producter for 1999 and 2000 (last year awarded) in the Cincinnati Board of Realtors and Top 1% Residential Real Estate Agent in the Nation.

Benefit series readies for third season By Kurt Backscheider
Concert lineup
kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Pete Ellerhorst said he is thrilled with the lineup for this year’s concert series presented by the Greater Cincinnati Performing Arts Society. “Season tickets and patron package sales are up, which is a sign that this season will be a lot of fun,” said Ellerhorst, a Westwood resident who serves as president of the performing arts society. “We are very excited about the lineup we have this year.” This fall marks the start of the third season for the society, which Ellerhorst helped establish as a way to support area Catholic schools. All the proceeds from the performances provide financial assistance to families who wish to send their children to Catholic elementary schools. He said St. Catharine and St. William are the two schools the society initially looks to assist, but as the program and organization grows they want to provide help to families throughout the Tristate. He said they definitely want it to be a citywide effort.
Australian guitar player Tommy Emmanuel will get the Greater Cincinnati Performing Arts Society’s third season started with performances at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4, and Saturday, Sept. 5, at the McAuley High School Performing Arts Center. Blues guitarist Sonny Landreth is next in the lineup with a show at 8 p.m. Saturday Oct. 3, at the St. Xavier High School Performance Center. The Texas Guitar Women, featuring five-time Grammy winner Cindy Cashdollar, Carolyn Wonderland, Sue Foley, Lisa Pankratz and Sarah Brown, take the stage at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, at McAuley. The series rounds out with the following shows: • Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours, 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010, at St. Xavier • Poco at 8 p.m. Feb. 27, 2010, at St. Xavier • Muriel Anderson and Phil Keaggy at 8 p.m. April 10, 2010, at McAuley; and • 1964 the Tribute at 8 p.m. May 1, 2010, at McAuley Information on the artists, venues and tickets are available on the Greater Cincinnati Performing Arts Society’s Web site at www.gcparts.org.

“I went to Visitation grade school in Mack and graduated from Elder,” he said. “My mom taught in Catholic schools for over 30 years and we currently have two kids at St. Catharine in Westwood and two at Elder.” “I firmly believe in values-based education as it provides a great foundation that children need, and the statistics back it up,” he said. The performing arts society is made up of graduates from Elder, St. Xavier, McAuley, Mercy and Roger Bacon, as well as several people who aren’t Catholic but enjoy music, he said. “That’s the beauty of what we’re doing,” he said. “We not only support the arts community, but we support education as well.

ing an upscale theater setting,” he said. “These are great venues and are ideal to see these top rate performers.” He said generous sponsors support the series and a dedicated group of volunteers help pass out fliers, put up posters and send e-mails to spread the word about the concerts. “We are fortunate that there are so many people who believe in what we are doing to take time out of their busy schedules to help us,” Ellerhorst said. “We can’t thank everyone enough.”
It’s really the best of both worlds.” The society’s third season kicks off with shows at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4, and Saturday, Sept. 5, at the McAuley High School Performing Arts Center. Australian guitar legend Tommy Emmanuel will perform in the first two shows of the season. Ellerhorst said tickets typically run $25, and Greater’s ice cream and premium coffee are served at the performances. “We have made every effort to make the shows a great value while maintain-

Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland
There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
MICHIGAN The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
