Helping HANDS

Angela Riegler, 9, helps her grandmother, White Oak Christian Church volunteer Elaine McCoy, hand out free school supplies at the HANDS Health and Safety Fair at Northwest High School.
Officials in the Mount Healthy City School District will try to convince voters the levy voted down in August should be passed in November. The Mount Healthy board of education voted unanimously to place a 1.39-mill five-year emergency levy on the Nov. 3 ballot. Superintendent David Horine says without the $500,000 generated by the emergency levy, the district will have to make additional cuts. About 52 percent of the 1,898 voters who cast ballots in August said no to the levy. Horine said the levy originally passed in 1982, and has been renewed every five years since. Because it was a renewal, it does not raise taxes. The levy costs the owner of a $100,000 home about $41 annually. Mount Healthy resident John
Poppe, who served as chairman of the August levy campaign, said he will head the effort to pass the levy in November. “I don’t want to go out a loser,” he said. Poppe said the weather and confusion over polling places that had moved hurt the levy in August. “The precincts in Mount Healthy, where we have so many voters on fixed incomes, actually passed the levy,” he said. “We were hurt in other areas, such as Colerain Township.” Levies take two actions to be placed on the ballot. The board passed the first action Aug. 7, and when the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office had certified the millage, the board took the second action at its regular meeting Aug. 17. Horine said the district is solvent through the 2009-10 school year, but the loss of $500,000 from the district's budgets would still make cuts necessary for the following school year.
Community speaks in Readers’ Choice poll By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
Walt Bohn says while he knows the food is good at his restaurant, it’s his staff that he considers the real reason behind his success. He’s the owner of Walt’s Barbeque at 6040 Colerain Ave., selected as Best Barbeque in our Westside Reader’s Choice poll. “I have a passion for cooking good barbeque, and I have a great staff of people to help me deliver the food to our customers,” he said. “It’s hard work and long hours, but for me, it’s more than a job. I am living my dream.” He’s been in business since March 2001, when he opened his Colerain Avenue restaurant in a former Taco Bell. “I had no experience,” he said, shaking his head at his own naiveté. “I was a total rookie.” He must have done something right, because he’s opened four restaurants since then and has his eye on the East side, perhaps in Loveland, for his next expansion. “We are still growing, and we’re still having fun,” he said. Johnson Investment Counsel, located in Monfort Heights at 3777 West Fork Road, knows something about growth. What started as a sideline while President Tim Johnson was teaching at the University of Cincinnati is now the largest independent wealth management firm in Ohio. The company was selected as

Owner Nancy Napier says she thinks it’s a feeling of family that keeps the parents coming back. In fact, some of the parents who bring children were once her students. “They come back, and we are always glad to see them,” Napier said. Michelle Roa says her children, Jacob and Jenna, feel welcomed, valued and loved at Play Time. “That is the most important quality they offer and I am so pleased to be part of the Play Time family,” she said.

Keith and Anne Marie Phelps with their new baby Natalie Rose along with Christa and Ken Meyer and their new baby Anna Rose pose at The Christ Hospital Aug. 14. The two sisters who are six years apart in age both gave birth to their babies on the same day a little more then 4 hours apart. The births happened a day before the anniversary of their brother’s death. They insist the double birth was sheer coincidence. “We did not plan this,� Phelps said. In fact, she and her husband thought they’d need fertility treatments to get pregnant. They were wrong. The sisters even learned they were pregnant the same day. “She told us she was pregnant, and we had just taken the pregnancy test and found out we were pregnant,� Phelps said. “We tried for six months,� Keith Phelps said. “We tried once,� Ken Meyer said. Their mother, Joyce Peet of Springfield Township, spent Thursday afternoon running up and down the hospital hallway.
So did their doctor, Ted Lum. “It was a busy afternoon, but it was a fun one,� he said. “We had the same delivery nurse, too,� Phelps said. Their husbands signaled important developments by pounding on the wall dividing the two birthing rooms. It wasn’t really a race, but, Meyer pointed out, her delivery went faster. “I don’t know that she was too happy about that,� Meyer said. “I was doing nothing for quite a while,� Phelps said. It’s hard to miss all the parallels, but Peet is convinced there’s something bigger than sheer coincidence behind her granddaughters’ births. Friday, when the families
gathered at the Mount Auburn hospital to celebrate their latest additions, was also the ninth anniversary of David Peet’s murder. They all wore T-shirts decorated with blue stars in his memory. The 19-year-old University of Cincinnati student was murdered in 2000 during a robbery. He was Joyce Peet’s son, and the brother of Christa Meyer and Anne Marie Phelps. The babies were conceived right around the time of David’s birthday, Peet said, and the sisters each saw shooting stars right around that time. “I think it was David telling them everything was going to be all right,� Peet said.

SETTING THE ATMOSPHERE TO SELL
Lighting is an important factor to consider when you are selling your home. The artful combination of natural and artificial lighting in a home’s interior can create an uplifting mood that homebuyers appreciate. Most people agree that dark rooms are depressing, so don’t overlook this significant element. Before your house is shown, walk through each room with an eye to creating a pleasant ambiance through lighting. Accentuate the natural light by keeping curtains open and windows sparkling clean. Arrange your furniture to take advantage of the best outdoor view. You may wan to install indirect lighting to highlight a vaulted ceiling, draw attention to indoor plants or emphasize an alcove where fine art is displayed. Dimmer switches can create simple and inexpensive lighting appeal by softening the atmosphere of a room. Purchase elegant, simple floor and table lamps to brighten up any dark areas in your home. Rooms that are flooded with light will favorably influence a potential buyer. Mark Schupp has been a Real Estate Agent for the past 28 years and is a Certified Residential Specialist.

Missing teeth? Mini Dental Implant is lower cost option
Do you have a missing tooth or teeth? After your dentist told you to replace the tooth/teeth with either an uncomfortable partial, a bridge that would grind down your healthy teeth or an expensive traditional implant were you left feeling frustrated? A newer excellent alternative is the Mini Dental Implant, or MDI. The procedure, which is offered by Dr. Christopher Omeltschenko, can be used to replace a single missing tooth or an entire row of teeth. “The advantages of a single MDI over traditional options are numerous,” says Dr. Omeltschenko. “At 1.8 millimeters in diameter they can be placed without surgically opening the gums, so recovery is quick and most patients don’t even need pain medicine.” He adds, “MDIs are not connected to adjacent teeth so common problems, such as difficulty cleaning between teeth and food entrapments are eliminated. And at about the same price as a partial and about half the price of a bridge or traditional implant, they are extremely affordable as well.” MDIs are functional on the same day they are put in, enabling patients who have a MDI placed in the morning to enjoy eating lunch without difficulty in the afternoon.

Hazard mitigation going green in Colerain Township By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
Colerain Township is looking at ways to use green infrastructure to manage stormwater and floodplains in the community, and officials would like residents to help identify areas that might benefit. The township has received a planning grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Assistant Administrator Frank Birkenhauer is upgrading the township’s Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan. Kari Mackenbach, a project planner and green initiatives practice leader with the URS Corp., says green infrastructure repre-
sents a new approach to floodplain and stormwater management that is cost effective, sustainable and environmentally friendly. Mackenbach’s firm will assist the township and other communities and assess the benefits of green infrastructure and how it can be implemented in the most cost effective way within their communities. Mackenbach said some communities are finding green infrastructure can be a cost effective strategy for reducing combined sewer overflows and reducing flooding. Birkenhauer says Colerain Township is investigating the
incorporation of green infrastructure into the township’s existing planning efforts for hazard mitigation. As a part of this planning effort, the township is conducting a workshop to gather residents’ input as to where these initiatives might make a difference. The workshop will take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1, in Trustees Chambers at the Colerain Township Government Complex, 4200 Springdale Road. The workshop will include an introduction to green infrastructure and an evaluation of known green infrastructure applications to be considered for the township’s plan.
Getting to green Green infrastructure techniques use natural or engineered systems that mimic natural landscapes to capture, cleanse, and reduce stormwater runoff using plants, soils and microbes. On the local scale, green infrastructure includes site-specific management practices such as rain gardens, porous pavements, and green roofs that are designed to absorb and infiltrate precipitation where it falls. The workshop will also look at existing green infrastructure in the township and discuss whether the
township should make them part of the zoning code for future development. Birkenhauer says green infrastructure is a next step that makes sense given the township’s history with mitigation plans. “When Colerain Township was named a Project Impact Community in the late 90s we drafted one of the first mitigation plans in the country and purchased homes to get our residents out of harm’s way,” Birkenhauer said. “The update of our mitigation plan will continue our cuttingedge approach to flood mitigation by encouraging green infrastructure solutions to lessen the extent of flooding in our community.”
St. John celebrating 150 years By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com Members of St. John the Baptist parish will end the celebration of the church’s 150th anniversary the same way it started: with Mass on St. John’s feast day. During the year in between, a committee has lined up a number of ways for current and former parishioners to mark the occasion. In June, the celebration kicked off with Mass and the unveiling of a history display. The group had a picnic last month, and will use the annual summer festival later this month as another opportunity to celebrate. Mark Murray, a member of the committee, says the church has commissioned a special, limited edition Cat’s Meow ornament in the image of the church. Selling for $12 each, the ornament is 21⁄8 inches high and 4 inches wide. Each one is a full-color view of the front of the church. In September, the church will have a fashion show, and there are three special events in October: a luncheon for long-time members, a patio dance and a spaghetti dinner. In January, there will be a Forester’s Dance and February will bring a Monte Carlo to the festivities. In April, the group presents a Late Night Catechism, and the closing Mass and celebration dinner with

St. John the Baptist Church is celebrating its 150th anniversary with a number of activities this year. Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis Schnurr. Murray said there may be additions to the anniversary calendar. He said the committee has been working to find a variety of events and projects to celebrate. For example, members of the parish were making a one-of-a-kind anniversary quilt that prominently features the colorful windows above the church altar as well as the three churches of the parish. Eventually, the quilt will be raffled off. St. John Church development director David Kissell doesn’t expect the school will have any anniversary events. He said while the church is celebrating 150 years, the school is even
older. “It was opened in 1846,” he said. That was even before the church was there. And it serves three parishes now: St. John Neumann, Corpus Christi and St. John the Baptist, so the focus is wider.” Murray said the anniversary group is maintaining a blog at w w w. s t j o h n s 1 5 0 . w o r d press.com. and sends out newsletters to keep the parish members up to date. The committee has also distributed bookmarks that list anniversary activities. Murray said the committee is looking for ways to encourage the parishioners to share their stories and memories so they can be captured for future church members to share.

Driving program in high gear By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
A safe student driving initiative starting in Colerain Township now has a name and a roster of sponsors. Driving Angels is the new program for teen drivers designed to instill safe driving practices. The program was born in the wake of a series of accidents which resulted in the death or serious injury of local teens. Colerain Township Police Lt. Mark Denney said it was time to try something different. He and Larry Stone, a former Colerain police officer who is now Rumpke's director of safety, presented a program to Colerain Township trustees in July. Trustees were supportive of the program. “Let us know how we can help as we move forward,” said Trustee Jeff Ritter. “Report back to us periodically.”
The team will include officers from the township department, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, local school districts and other agencies. The goal is simple: Affect the attitudes of teens behind the wheel through prevention, education and enforcement. A monthly program by teens, for teens will focus on driving safely and making good choices behind the wheel. It will cover impaired driving, driving distractions, seatbelt use, speeding and the aftermath of bad driving decisions. The UC Trauma team will be part of the group that helps with a monthly student-led class. Members will discuss the kinds of injuries they see as a result of poor driving decisions. Enforcement suggestions include seatbelt checks, referrals to the monthly program, and follow-up calls to

In addition, parents can send their own teenagers if they feel the program would benefit them. Stone said the team is looking into whether parking privileges could be affected by seatbelt viola-
tions on school grounds. There’s also a possible partnership with the Hamilton County Juvenile Court system under discussion. He says the driving program budget is covered by sponsors. Most of the car dealers that line Colerain Avenue have made a financial pledge to help offset the cost of materials and officers who will help students teach the monthly classes. Northwest High School senior Desiree Ruhig is coordinating the student teaching teams. Denney said he hopes future class leaders will be students who have completed the program. “I’d like to see it be selfsustaining so far as student involvement goes,” he said. “It would be great if we get the students who take the courses to eventually teach them.” Organizers hope to kick off the monthly class program in October.
Annual parade honors Green Township By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Labor Day is typically the unofficial end of summer. Summer in Cheviot lasts a little longer. For most Westsiders, the sign autumn is just around the corner arrives with the annual Harvest Home Parade. It won’t be long before lawn chairs line the sidewalks along Harrison Avenue and North Bend Road in preparation for the parade, which kicks off the Cheviot-Westwood Kiwanis Club’s annual Harvest Home Fair. This year’s parade begins promptly at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10, at the intersection of Harrison and Frances avenues. Ten parade divisions of veterans’ groups, Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, marching bands, floats, local fire and police departments, dancers, gymnasts, community organizations, area sports teams and politicians will usher in the fair. The 150th annual fair runs through Sunday, Sept. 13, at Harvest Home Park. Kiwanis member Dave Backer, parade chairman, said the parade’s theme this year is “Green Township – 200 years old,” a nod to Cheviot’s neighbor celebrating its bicentennial. Green Township Trustee Tony Upton said he thinks it’s fantastic the Kiwanis
Club chose to pay tribute to the township at this year’s parade. “It’s a very great honor dedicated to Green Township and its 200 years of existence,” Upton said. “The history of the township and all of the changes it has gone through is pretty neat.” He said the original name of the Harvest Home Fair was the Green Township Harvest Home Fair. When the township’s harvest home association went bankrupt in 1939, he said the Kiwanis Club agreed to buy the association’s assets and took over the operation of the event. Upton said the township is entering a 24-foot float in the parade. Backer said a new feature at this year’s parade is the promotion of the Thursday night festivities at Harvest Home Park. He said the fair has always been open on Thursdays following the parade, but attendance has never been great. “We’re trying to get more people into the park on Thursday night, and we are offering some specials to help families during these tough economic times,” he said. Admission on Thursday night is free, parking inside the park is free, the rides will be open and there will be $1 specials on pizza, soft drinks and beer, Backer said.

Where do our crises come from?
Everyone lives a drama. We try to be playwright and write the script to our lives. But it never works out that way. There are twists and turns both good and bad, unexpected surprises, disappointments and losses and challenging situations. And there are crises sprinkled throughout. Some of them can rock us to our toes. Where do our crises come from? I don’t accept the idea that God causes suffering and crises. In this imperfect world, they come along like hurricanes, lightening strikes causing forest fires, and volcanic eruptions. I agree with the analysis of various crises expressed by author Sue Monk Kidd. She says that the crises of life come mainly from three sources: developmental transitions, intrusive events, and internal uprisings.
Developmental transitions occur naturally in everyone’s life. We move from stage to stage though after awhile we hate the changFather Lou ing. Guntzelman Think of Perspectives some of our changing stages: birth, beginning school, puberty, moving away from home, risking and forming relationships, choosing a career, entering the work force, and of course, marriage. Add to these raising children, dealing with midlife, the empty nest, retiring, losing a loved person, etc. Each occurrence usually brings varying degrees of crisis. They cause turmoil and rattle our illusion of control. There is a
tug toward growth but a stronger tug to stay where we are. Intrusive events are a second source of life crises. Too many to number, they include accidents, serious illness, a loved person’s death, natural catastrophes, a miscarriage, a terminated relationship, losing our job, a wayward child, dashed dreams, etc. Though harsh on us, crises are also doorways. How we handle them changes us into bitter or better persons. The greatest factor affecting our lives for good or ill is the attitude we take in the face of things we cannot change. Internal uprisings are the third source of personal crises. Their coming is usually subtle and unspecified. We may begin to notice a vague sense of restlessness, emptiness, or a tinge of depression that hangs on. There may be spiritual doubts,
insomnia, blossoming addictions, heightened anxiety, etc. We try to explain them by the terminology of today – stress, burnout, exhaustion. From where do these come? There is a life-force within us straining toward wholeness. What do we think pulls us through all the stages of growth and development in our lives? This life-force has its own ways of getting our attention when healthy development is stymied or stuck. Creating some sort of inner crises in us is its usual technique. Typically we only make significant changes when we hurt. Such crises are meant to nudge us toward some doorway we need to pass through. The trouble is, we never think of a crisis in this way. We just pour another drink, get busy, or use our cell phone. A crises is always considered as
something wrong, not something potentially helpful. Such thinking keeps us from looking for the new doorway. A crisis can be a holy summons to become more the person God made us to be. The best way to meet the crises of life is to admit them, name as specifically as we can the feelings we are experiencing, spend time in genuine reflection (seek competent help if necessary), and be painfully honest with ourselves. In short: feel, reflect, learn, and seek understanding which is the key. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

Mastering the art of salmon grilling
With all the hype about the movie “Julie & Julia,� anyone who has what we call a “ J u l i a C h i l d � story is sharing it. So today Rita I’m sharHeikenfeld ing mine. I was Rita’s kitchen u n d e r deadline for this column and the subject was cooking with wine. On a whim, I called Julia and, of course, she was “out� but the secretary said she’d give her the message. “OK,� I thought, “I’ll never hear.� About a half hour later the phone rang and my husband, Frank, answered and said the call was for me. When I asked him who it was he simply said “some elderly lady.� Well, it wouldn’t have mattered if it were a young
lady; I was under deadline and had no time to chitchat. When I picked up the phone and said hello, the voice that said hello back was ‌ Julia’s! I almost dropped the phone. She was so nice, answered every question, and then just Child asked about my family and me. We talked for a total of 30 minutes, 10 of which was professional and the rest was personal. And guess what? She even sent me a signed thank you note. So that’s my Julia story and that’s why she was so loved and that’s why my copy of her book “Mastering the Art of French Cookingâ€? is dog-eared with use.
Perfectly grilled salmon
The 70-30 rule applies to
COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD
Rita’s pan-grilled salmon with lemon verbena and dill. any seafood on the grill. Have the grill hot, lightly brush both sides of the fish with oil, and start grilling skin side up with the grill closed as much as possible. (Or just put a disposable pan over the fish). Leave it alone until about 70 percent of the fish is done on the first side. You’ll know it by the looks and also if it will release easily. This allows the fish to form a nice crust. Turn it and finish cooking. The rule seven to 10 minutes per inch of thickness works
well, too. Here’s how I season mine: Brush four salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each, with skin (or not) on both sides with olive or other oil. Season both sides with salt and 1⠄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (this is enough for all four) and the juice of a lime (about 2 tablespoons). Grill as indicated above.
Boil zucchini in water for 5 minutes. Drain well and return to pan. Add sugar and pineapple. Boil 10 minutes, stirring frequently so it doesn’t stick. Remove from heat and stir in Jell-O. Cool, spoon into jars and refrigerate.
Easy zucchini pineapple peach jam
• So important especially during this hot weather when they’re in sports, since a child’s body takes longer to adjust to heat and humidity. • Kids produce more body heat but don’t sweat as much as adults so in hot weather they are at increased risk for dehydration. • In the body, water works as a shock absorber protecting joints. • Cold water is absorbed best and kids will drink more if it’s cold. • Make a homemade power drink. Dilute a drink
For several readers who wanted this recipe again. Go to taste on the sugar. I find 3 cups is plenty, but most folks like 4-5. A nonstick pan is best for this. Use your favorite flavor of Jell-O. 6 cups grated zucchini, skin left on 1 â „2 cup water 3-5 cups sugar 20 oz crushed pineapple in juice or syrup 6 oz favorite Jell-O: try peach, strawberry, apricot

Cincinnati News Service Colerain Ford at 8571 Colerain Ave., has been renamed Northgate Ford after being acquired earlier this month by the Kenwood Dealer Group Inc. The Ford franchise, which has operated on Colerain Avenue since the early 1960s, was acquired from Consolidated Equity Realty III, a private company which has owned the new and used car dealership since 2005. The purchase price wasn't disclosed.
Robert Reichert, president of the Kenwood Dealer Group, said the Colerain Township dealership, which employs 40, is looking to add about half a dozen sales people. Kenwood, which also owns Northgate LincolnMercury and Volkswagen also on Colerain Avenue, plans to relocate the Lincoln-Mercury franchise to the Ford store eventually. Steven Reichert, Reichert's son and former general manager of Kings Mazda, is general manager of Northgate Ford.
Kenwood now has 14 domestic and import franchises. Robert Reichert said he was interested in the Colerain franchise because of the strength of the Ford brand and the opportunity to expand his presence in western Hamilton County.

Congress (that’s the opposite of progress) has been spending worse than a drunken sailor. A drunken sailor will only spend all the money in his pocket. So far the spending is greater than $3 trillion plus the deficit in the annual budget, which is another trillion. There was $500 billion bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, $700 billion TARP money to bail out the banks and
$800 billion in aid to liberals in education and the states. At some point the tipping point will be reached and the interest will be so great that the only way forward will be either a great depression or a large inflation. We have to stop our politicians now! Keep the faith. Stanton W. Doran Sunnywoods Lane Green Township
CH@TROOM What do you expect from the Bengals this season? I expect the Bengals could achieve an 8-8 season. The team looks improved with the possible exception of the offensive line. As is the Bengals annual tradition the first round draft choice was not in camp on time which also hurts the offensive line. Injuries played havoc with the 2008 season. Hopefully that will not be the case this year. As with most fans I hope for the Bengals to hire an experienced General Manager as Mike Brown is not the answer. Go Figure! T.D.T. “Same ol’...same ol’ 500 season. That’s their game plan. It will never change. The city/county should have let Mr. Brown leave town (with his team) when he made the threat. Now we are in debt for a multimillion dollar stadium, used only a few days a year, for a predisposed mediocre team owned by someone who cares more about the “bottom line” than fielding a winning team. His father would disown him!” W.K.S. “It will be the same old thing this year for the Bengals. I think the recond will be 5 and 11. The Bengals again have two weak positions to be filled. The first is the offensive line. They still have no protection for Palmer. He needs more time to throw the ball down the field. The whole line needs to step up and do their job. I think the other fans will agree with me that the second is Mr. Brown. “Mr. Brown needs to step down. Either sell the team or hire a new G.M. He does not care about the fans in Cincinnati. A lot of fans started to go north and west to see a good game. I will not go down there to watch them at all this year. All he cares about is money. Sure the games have been sold out and he stills gets his money even if the fans don't show up. It's a shame on how he took this city and somehow promise us in believing he will bring this city a winner. I hope there will be a lot of home games not sold out by the deadline for TV. This way he will be losing money. It's time for the fans in Cincinnati to step up and say enough is enough.” S.M. “Same thing I expected from them last season, I expect them to WIN, WIN, WIN!! Maybe this is the year for those expectations to be fulfilled.” M.E.N. “My family has had season tickets since 1970. We are eternal optimists... but I’m feeling an only ‘even-steven’ season.” C.A.S. “I expect them to go to the play offs, if not the Superbowl; but enough about wishful thinking

After watching the first HBO ‘Hard Knocks’, you can see why. “The show opened with Mike Brown addressing the team on their first day. Instead of a rousing pep talk, he sounded like the CEO of a Fortune 500 addressing a stock holders annual meeting. Dry, uninspiring and not a bit of enthusiasm or emotion. “Then at the end of the hour program, and after the Bengals’ first scrimmage, HBO focused on Mikey presiding over a meeting of the professional coahing staff and their assistants. He’s telling the tight ends coach who he feels might step in for the two tight ends that went down. “Instead of keeping his nose out of the coaching side, he still fancies himself a brillant coach like his Dad and that’s why this season will be more of the same.” P.A. “No better than a 50-50 season, if that.” B.N. “After watching them for a few plays in the pre season game against New Orleans All I can say is same old same old.” L.S. “I expect the same from the Bengals as we have received from the Bengal’s management. “Nothing.” D.M. “I have come to expect nothing from the Bengals aka BUN-GALS; they’ve done nothing for the fan base who’ve supported the team other than to give them failure, disappointment and embarrassment season after season for the last 18 years. It’s discerning to see other football towns whose “professional teams” are adorned with overwhelming fan support simply because they do one thing the Bengals don’t do: WIN. No thanks. Mike Brown just leave town, don’t look back Ocho and Carson, admit it, you’re washed up and Bungalized.” G.D.W.

The education side of House Bill 1
House Bill 1 is a budget bill and an education reform package. The legislation contains a list of changes that at times seems endless. We have received questions concerning a few of these provisions and will therefore focus on the issues that appear to have generated the most local interest. Governor Strickland’s original proposal was very detailed with many dates and timelines; however, the final version of HB 1 is much more flexible. The Ohio Department of Education is tasked with developing proposals and timelines for many of the initiatives. Many other changes were adopted in principle, but in practice will be subjected to years of study. The changes in the high school assessment system are a good example. The ODE is now required to replace the Ohio Graduation Tests with a new system that includes a nationally standardized assessment in the four core subjects: math, language arts, science and social studies. There is no timeline in the final version. The new system will also include end-of-course exams in the same four core subjects and a senior capstone project. There are many questions about the development and weighting of each part. At this time we just do not have answers. Until the new system is established, all of our current high school students, including this year’s freshmen, must pass the OGT. Our students have been very successful on the OGT and we will continue to prepare them to pass
all five tests. The all-day kindergarten provisions of HB 1 have also sparked local interest. Beginning in 2010-2011, all districts are Richard required to offer Glatfelter all-day kinderThe bill Community garten. also requires the Press guest ODE to develop a columnist waiver system based on space and alternative delivery systems. Parents will be allowed to opt for the traditional half-day sessions. This year we will begin planning for all-day kindergarten and evaluate the waiver criteria when they are announced. We do not expect to receive any additional state funding to pay for the additional staff needed for all-day kindergarten. HB 1 also requires that the pupil-teacher ratio in kindergarten through third grade be reduced to 15-1 by the 2013-2014 schoolyear. This will be phased in by reducing the ratio by two students every other year for the next six years. The requirement for 20102011 will drop to 19-1. The ODE will develop a waiver system to allow districts to delay this requirement. Informal discussions have already started about using tutors, special education teachers and other current personnel in the pupil-teacher ratio calculations so that the ratio could be reduced without adding a large number of new teachers. Northwest’s current pupil-

Therefore, we would have to add approximately 20 teachers to reach a 19-1 ratio, again without additional state funding. Regardless of how these changes are actually implemented, the next two years will be exciting and challenging here in Northwest and around the state. Exciting because many students and families will benefit from these new programs. Challenging because we will have to effectively balance local priorities against state requirements when allocating our resources.

Speed bumps: Common sense solution Monfort Heights Drive is a close-knit little neighborhood, spun with young families, senior citizens and neighbors who have lived on our street for decades. For years, our street and Arrow Avenue have been used as a cutthrough (to and from North Bend and Boomer roads) by drivers who don’t always observe the speed limit. This creates a troubling safety issue. Adding to everincreasing levels of traffic on the two major roads, the traffic problem on our residential street is expected to increase when a major new development goes in behind St. Ignatius. With safety concerns in mind, we residents asked Green Township Trustee Tracy Winkler to help us. After almost a year of discussion, at an informal meeting on June 2, several well-researched options were presented by Green Township as solutions to help slow the traffic on our street. A traffic engineer had been hired and studied present conditions, conditions as they are to exist once the planned improvements on North Bend have been completed, and also future conditions. Speed bumps were suggested as a solution that could help immediately. Wow! Speed bumps
resonated with us. Finally, some action could be taken to slow the traffic on our street. This was a common sense solution in which we as a neighborJulie hood would be Gallenstein able to participate and help measure Community the results. Press guest Now, Monfort columnist Heights Drive could be used as a test street for Green Township. If all goes well on our street, the process to implement the installation of speed bumps on other streets in Green Township will proceed. Green Township is currently following with a confidential survey of residents. A mailer was sent last week to all residents with a self-addressed, stamped return post card asking our opinion. The township will need 60 percent of residents to return the postcards and 70 percent of those who respond must vote for the installation of the speed bumps. We are hoping that the speed bumps will be approved. The good neighbors of Monfort

Speed bumps resonated with us. Finally, some action could be taken to slow the traffic on our street. This was a common sense solution in which we as a neighborhood would be able to participate and help measure the results. Heights Drive welcomed the opportunity to have worked with Fred Schlimm and Tracy Winkler, and are grateful the trustees voted to approve the ”street calming” resolution Aug. 10. We are honored to be the first street to test the effectiveness of speed bumps in Green Township. We are a watchful neighborhood, so we will monitor the effectiveness of this measure and keep the township up to date with any concerns. Traffic should be a little slower this fall on Monfort Heights Drive. As the school year begins, the children and neighbors will be safer when traffic slows to approach the new speed bumps on our street. Julie Gallenstein is a resident of Monfort Heights Drive.

Though the Cardinals finished at 10-13 in 2008, Meyer suspects the team will be much improved in 2009, the coach said via email. “We have great leadership from our veterans, especially third-year starter and Megan LaFary (senior setter), and I think we will surprise some teams,” Meyer said. “We have more depth at every position, and we are really coming together as a team.” Returning starters for Colerain include LaFary, senior Rachel Morgan, junior Stacey Sebald and Allison Berg. Key new additions for the team include sophomores Maggie Weaver and Kristen Thompson. LaFary finished fourth in the Greater Miami Conference with 444 assists in 2008. Sebald led the Cardinals with 32 aces last fall.

McAuley
The McAuley High School volleyball team went 8-14 in 2008 but should be one of the top three teams in the very competitive GGCL in 2009. The team returns a number of key players, including outside hitters Hannah Vanarsdall, Lindsey Criswell and Lauren Krabacher. Vanarsdall has been hampered by injury but should be healthy, Criswell was a second-team All-District player a year ago and Krabacher had a strong tournament season and could be the team’s top standout. Kelley Namaky, a junior setter, should be another standout for McAuley and junior Kaitlyn Gerrity is another returning starter that could be a major contributor for the Mohawks. Head coach Patrick Kerley said his team’s size could pose problems for the top two teams in the conference. “I think we will finish

third in the league, but if we get development out of some of our newer kids we could really surprise some people,” he said.

Four seniors graduated from the program following Mt. Healthy High School’s 15-9 campaign in 2008. Preparing for a rebuilding year, Mt. Healthy turns to a pair of returning starters, juniors Brittany Loechel and Tracey Wallace, to lead the Fighting Owls, head coach Frances Johnson said via email. “I like the fact that we are a young team,” Johnson

Johnson expects to see immediate contributions from a number of inexperienced players including senior outside hitter Nikeya Sharp Strong and freshman defensive specialist Linda Hoepf. The Lady Owls finished with a 5-5 record in its Fort Ancient Valley Conference Scarlet Division while taking fourth place in the sixteam division in 2008. Norwood (16-8, 9-1) took first place in the FAVC Scarlet Division followed by second-place Talawanda (10-14, 8-2) and thirdplace Ross (11-11, 6-4).

Promising newcomers for the team include sophomore setter Lexi Murphy and junior outside hitter Bethany Shepherd.

Colerain, Northwest tennis in full swing By Anthony Amorini
aamorini@communitypress.com
The fall tennis season for high school girls is in full swing and a number of local schools have varied expectations for the upcoming season. Here’s a look at the local squads:
Colerain
Only two starters return for Colerain High School first-year head coach Kelly Schoenfeld as the Cardinals look to rebuild after graduating most of its varsity roster following the 2008 campaign. Returning players Hannah Curtis and Carli Colina, both juniors, look to lead Colerain this fall. Schoenfeld also expects to see immediate contributions from a number of new players including Julie Thinnes, Amanda Herring, Jessica Feldman, Rachel Laughlin
and Asha Underiner. Colerain finished at 8-8 last fall with a 3-6 record in its Greater Miami Conference. However, the Cardinals started its season at 2-0 this fall including a pair of 4-1 victories over Roger Bacon and Northwest.
McAuley
The McAuley High School tennis team returns five players from 2008 and should be an improved team in 2009. Hannah Davis, Chrissy Gruenwald, Maria Lupp, Zoe Widmer and Andrea Heckle are the returning players for McAuley. Sarah Herman is a newcomer to watch for McAuley. Head coach Lauren Bischak said she’s excited for the season and to see how the newcomers play. “We have a nice mix of girls this season and we’re looking for-

ward to seeing how each of them develop further,” she said. “We are also eager to see how Hannah will do in her fourth season as a varsity player.”
Northwest
In 2008, Northwest finished at 7-7 including a 2-3 record in its Fort Ancient Valley Conference Scarlet Division. Northwest has a series of upcoming home matches including Madeira (Aug. 31), Talawanda (Sept. 1) and Hamilton (Sept. 2). All three matches begin at 4 p.m.
Northwest did not provide additional information by deadline.
Roger Bacon
A quartet of varsity players return as Fred Widmeyer begins his first season at the helm of the program. Returning players for Roger Bacon include Kelsey Foster, Jennie Quinn, Ashlee Cook and Kelsey Bickel. “Only (Foster and Quinn) have a lot of experience so I will count on them to help with the new
players,” Widmeyer said via email. “The team is young but very excited and I look for some good surprises this season.” New additions for Roger Bacon include Meghan Finke, Eboni Rall, Kelsey Murphy. Samantha Sorter, Nicole Ausdenmoore and Ashley Whitehead. Roger Bacon finished at 5-14 in 2008 while posting an 0-12 record in the seven-team Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League to finish in last place. However, the GGCL has since been reorganized and Roger Bacon is in a much smaller pool in the four-team GGCL Grey Central Division. And Purcell Marian doesn’t field a tennis team, meaning Badin and McNicholas are the only teams Roger Bacon will compete with for a division title in 2009.
New hockey organization checks in By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
There will be a new hockey organization at Sports Plus, 10765 Reading Road, No. 3, for kids in the area as the Queen City Hockey Association holds tryouts for its first season of operation. Steve Penman, the president of the new organization, said his goal for the QCHA is to make it a comprehensive program. But, for that to happen, he said things would have to start slow. “We look to have four or five house league teams and have five A/AA travel teams and one tier 1 AAA hockey team,” Penman said of the plans for the first year of operation. “We don’t have girls yet, unfortunately, and all of the age brackets aren’t filled yet. We’ll probably end up with somewhere around 100 players in the first year of the association.” Still, the impetus for the creation of the organization, Penman said, was to create a more comprehensive
“The biggest challenge with hockey today in the United States is to provide a premium program at the best price possible”
Steve Penman QCHA president
hockey program that would give more options for players who wanted to play at a higher level. Penman is no stranger to Cincinnati hockey as he’s been involved as a parent of players, as a coach and as the owner of the Queen City Steam, the city’s only Junior A hockey team. There is another hockey organization in the city, the Cincinnati Amateur Hockey Association. CAHA is the longtime youth hockey organization in the city. “We’re not trying to be another CAHA; they have done a nice job around here,” Penman said. “We want to take it to another level, particularly at the higher level of play.
CAHA does not have AAAlevel hockey and we want to have a comprehensive program so the best players around here had a final outlet of where they could play as sophomores through seniors in high school.” The area’s major high school programs, such as Moeller or St. Xavier, are run through the OHSAA and not local organizations. “Some kids leave town to play hockey and we want to offer a different level of play for those who choose to go farther in hockey,” he said. “We will eventually have everything from the beginning player to all levels, including AAA, from age 8 on up through high school. It will take years to reach that goal though, it will not happen overnight.” Sports Plus is a partner in the new QCHA. Penman said Sports Plus was a natural pick for him when he was looking for a rink for the Steam because of the facility and the surrounding entertainment for families. “People could bring their kids and have other things
to do and it’s wonderful for teams coming in from out of town because there’s a lot to do nearby,” he said. “I feel Sports Plus is the most comprehensive ice facility in Cincinnati and our partnership with them has been everything, really.” Penman said Sports Plus has been a tremendous partner and is assisting in joint marketing efforts in addition to providing help with ice. Ultimately, Penman said the organization’s goal is to provide a hockey avenue at an affordable price but at a proficient level of play. “Cost is becoming a much more important issue than ever in today’s economy and you need the right program in place with the right partner, which Sports Plus is for us,” he said. “I feel strongly you need a full offering of level of play and we’re the only one right now that is on that track to provide the full range of play.” Tryout information is available at the organization’s Web site, cincinnatiyouthhockey.com.

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.

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…
