The Colerain Township Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services is trying something new. Capt. Darian Edwards, a public information officer, says the department now has a Twitter account and will be using social media as another avenue to share information with the public. Twitter is a free social networking service that lets users send and read messages known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to the author's subscribers, known as followers. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter Web site, SMS (Short Message Service) or external applications. While the service costs nothing to use, you may have to pay phone service provider fees if you use SMS. The department is on Twitter as

The members of Mack Fire Inc. have once again come to the aide of the Green Township Department of Fire & EMS. Officers of the nonprofit organization attended the Green Township Trustees meeting Monday, Sept. 28, to present the fire department with new supplies and equipment purchased with proceeds from Mack Fire’s annual fundraising raffle. Mike Percival, president of the organization, said the group sends out a mailing to every township resident asking them to buy raffle tickets for a chance to win cash prizes. He said the mailing also includes a flyer explaining how the proceeds from the raffle will benefit the fire department. “What we do for the Green Township fire department is a direct result of Green Township residents,” he said. “As long as they continue to support our fundraiser ever year, we’ll continue to support the fire
Mack Fire Inc. is an extension of the Mack Volunteer Fire Department that provided fire and emergency medical service to the township from 1944 to 1983. When the township took over operations of the fire department its members formed the nonprofit group to support the department. Green Township Fire & EMS Chief Douglas Witsken said Mack Fire assists the township fire department in a variety of ways. In addition to buying wish list equipment for the department each year, the organization also purchased the department’s special operations trailer that carries specialized rescue equipment, funds the community CPR program and purchased the uniforms and accessories for the department’s color guard. Witsken said Mack Fire Inc. also helps in funding the EMS Bike Team, the arson dog program and the fire explorer program. The organization donated the building and the land for the Monfort Heights fire station built four years ago as well. department with their Wish List.” Township Fire & EMS Chief Douglas Witsken said the department’s Wish List items this year included de-watering pumps, four new ice rescue suits, a pulse oximeter and disaster management supplies. “This year they’ve purchased more than $14,000 worth of equipment for us,” he said. “These are all items that we’re not able to purchase through the township budget, and every year Mack Fire steps up and helps us
get these additional items and equipment that really make a difference in our services.” He said a common emergency call the department responds to is flooded basements, but until now firefighters did not have equipment on the trucks to help residents whose basements are filled with water. The de-watering pumps are submergible pumps firefighters can set up and leave inside a resident’s basement to help them start getting the water out.
“This is going to be a big customer service initiative for us,” Witsken said. He said the four new ice rescue suits will replace the department’s two existing ice rescue suits, which are 13 years old and springing leaks. He said the old suits will be used for training purposes only. “If you are the one wearing those in icy water when they start to leak it’s not a very pleasant experience,” Witsken said. The pulse oximeter is a piece of equipment with the capability of measuring the amount of both oxygen and carbon monoxide in a patient’s blood, he said. Firefighters use the device to determine whether a patient is suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning, and also use it to make sure firefighters are OK when they leave a smoke-filled building or home. “These are very expensive, they run almost $4,000 a piece,” he said. “Now three of our five ambulances are equipped with this technology.”

Assistant fire chief left mark on dept.
By Kurt Backscheider
kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Green Township Fire & EMS Chief Douglas Witsken said Assistant Chief James Rutenschroer left the department this year with the knowledge his mark is forever embedded on the organization. Rutenschroer, who served as the assistant chief of emergency medical services for the department, retired Sept. 1 after a 49year career. “Jim has always been an extremely driven and dedicated employee,� Witsken said. “He worked many hours beyond what was required of him.� Lt. Michael Nie, fire department spokesman, said Rutenschroer, who was known as “Rudy� by his fellow firefighters and paramedics, first joined the Mack Volunteer Fire Department in 1960 at age 18. Rutenschroer continued his volunteer career at the Monfort Heights station and worked his way up through the ranks, serving at a time when the Mack Volunteer Fire Department became the first volunteer department in the area to practice advance life support. “Along the way, Assistant Chief Rutenschroer

became one of the first paramedics in the Cincinnati area in 1975,� Nie said. He said Rutenschroer was appointed assistant chief in 1982, shortly before the department became the Green Township Fire Department. The volunteer operation was phased out in 1985 in favor of full-time and part-time employees staffing the fire stations 24 hours a day. Nie said Rutenschroer was instrumental in helping steer the department as it grew to keep pace with the needs of the community. He had his hand in a variety of tasks, from helping design ambulances to hiring and promoting employees, Nie said. “Over the years he has responded to thousands of emergency calls,� Nie said. Witsken said Rutenschroer’s leadership has helped make the department what it is today. “Jim has instilled his drive for excellence in the junior officers and the firefighter/paramedics of Green Township Fire & EMS,� Witsken said. “The department’s excellent reputation and history of quality service are very much the result of Jim’s leadership. His legacy of excellence will continue.�
Tyler’s Run set for Oct. 10 By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
As fall settles in, local runners are preparing for an annual autumn ritual: Tyler’s Run. The 12th annual Tyler’s Run is Saturday, Oct. 10, at Miami Whitewater Park, 9001 Mt. Hope Road. Registration is from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and the race start time is 9 a.m. for the 5k walk/run and 10k run. This year Lord’s Gym is organizing a Pump and Run. Athletes can bench press a percentage of their body weight based upon an age and gender handicap, and earn a 30-second time reduction off their run for each bench press repetition. The run is in memory of Tyler Frey who was born on Oct. 30, 1996, the third son of Mark and Kelly Frey and the younger brother to Josh and Cody. Just 12 days after his first Christmas on Jan. 6, 1997, Tyler died from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) at just 68 days old. Tyler had just been given a clean bill of health at his 2 month check up. That same year Tyler’s uncle, Bob Duncan, of Wheelie Fun, decided to hold a 5K Run/Walk and Duathlon in memory of Tyler. “We all wanted Tyler to

The first annual Tyler’s Run was at Lebanon Raceway on Oct. 11, 1997. It raised $12,000. Since then, the race moved to Miami Whitewater Park, where the park’s size allows all of the walking and running to take place inside the park. The Tyler’s Run Foundation Inc. was founded in 2004. The foundation’s purpose is to educate and raise awareness about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and
to inform as many new parents, grandparents and Child Care providers of the Back to Sleep program. Frey says her family has two main goals: that Tyler be remembered and that SIDS be conquered. For registration and information, visit the Web site at www.tylersrun.com. For information on the Pump and Run, visit www. pumpandrunrace.com. Frey said in the past 10 years there has been an estimated 50 percent reduction in deaths due to SIDs
attributed to the Back to Sleep program. “Putting a baby to sleep on his or her back is the number one risk reducer,â€? Frey said. “There is no cure at this time. I really feel Tyler’s Run has saved some babies’ lives. Maybe that’s why he was here for 68 days ‌ so he could help save other babies.â€?
Where does the money go?
Last year, Tyler’s Run donated: • $11,200 to the SIDS Network of Ohio • $1,000 to Miami Whitewater Park for a children’s program • 7,000 to BLOC (Believing and Living One Christ) Ministries, which focuses on strengthening families through student communities • $7,000 to TriHealth Cribs for Kids • $7,000 to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Pediatric Cancer Care.
Earthquakes and End Times Recently earthquakes have been a major focus in our news. The result of such high activity has been, of course, hundreds of tragic deaths. Josh Gaynor of ABC News reported the following in an article entitled, String of Pacific Earthquakes Getting Attention from Experts: “The Indonesian city of Padang is still recovering from two powerful earthquakes, one of which flattened a school where 30 children are still missing. The first earthquake — registering a massive 7.6 magnitude — came Wednesday night, collapsing at least 500 buildings and badly damaging and burning others. Less than 24 hours later, another quake struck Indonesia, this time weaker, but still powerful.� In a separate article, Julie Steenhuysen, of Reuters, reported that powerful earthquakes may be a trigger for weakening geologic faults a half a world away, according to U.S. researchers. While geologists are now seeing the signs of increasing seismic activity, the Bible records five times in the book of Revelation that earthquakes will come in the last days. One might wonder, “What do you mean by last days?� The Bible speaks about the second coming of Christ. His first coming was His birth as a man which we celebrate at Christmas. Researchers have found almost 2,000 biblical references to the return of Christ. Some of the coming events are: 1. Those who have accepted Christ as their personal Savior since the time of Christ’s ascension to heaven will be taken suddenly out of this life into heaven. I Thessalonians 4:13-18 2. Seven years of worldwide tribulation will occur when God will judge the world and pour His wrath upon it. During this time the “antichrist� will set up a one world government and a one world religion. (Revelation 4-19) 3. This tribulation will end with the battle of Armageddon which will usher in 1,000 years of peace and prosperity for all. Humanity will live on, for what begins at Armageddon establishes Christ as supreme ruler on earth and over all nations. The earth will then become immersed in peace and prosperity in the Kingdom of God. (Revelation 19, 20) 4. The final Judgment and end of the world will result in all people of all the ages spending eternity in heaven or a lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels. (Revelation 20) What does this all mean? When hearing our daily newscasts, we should compare the reports with our Bible and prepare to meet God! Remember, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.� John 3:16,17 Sunday School . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10:00AM Sunday Morning . . . . . . 8:45 & 11:00AM Sunday Evening . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6:30PM Wednesday Bible Study . . . . . . . . 7:00PM Teen SWAT (Wed) . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:00PM Awana (Wed) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7:00PM Visit us on the web at

White Oak family walks for Children’s Community Press staff report A simple walk can make a big difference. The Fourth Annual Cincinnati Walks for Kids benefiting Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center will be held Saturday, Oct. 10 at Coney Island. The walk features crafts, face painting, four classic Coney Island rides and refreshments. Proceeds from the event will help provide hope and healing to the children and families cared for by Cincinnati Children’s.
Samantha Morrissey, 16, of White Oak, understands the importance of the walk all too well. Samantha was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare cancer of the bone and soft tissue, in May 2006, the same year that Cincinnati Walks for Kids began. She spent the next 11 months undergoing chemotherapy, several surgeries and – when she wasn’t an inpatient – three trips to Cincinnati Children’s each week. “I owe my life to the
amazing doctors, nurses, social workers, school interventionists and Child Life staff at Cincinnati Children’s,” Samantha said. As a not-for-profit organization, Cincinnati Children’s relies on events like Cincinnati Walks for Kids to help fund life-saving research, patient care and education. Registration for the walk will be held from 8 to 10 a.m. and the walk and activities will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The day will begin with an opening ceremony to
honor patients, families and caregivers and thank the community for its commitment to Cincinnati Children’s. Walkers may choose a 3mile or 1-mile walk route. People of all ages can participate in the walk. Strollers, wagons and wheelchairs are welcome. With the exception of service dogs, Coney Island does not allow pets on their property. All walkers will receive a medal as they cross the finish line, followed by a complimentary lunch.
Throughout the day, participants can enjoy the Kids’ Carnival, where children can play games, win prizes and have their faces painted, and visit the remembrance garden, a serene setting to honor loved ones. There is no registration fee to participate. Each walker is simply asked to raise at least $25. Walk participants can choose to donate their gifts to a particular program or division within the medical center, or have their gifts used to meet the hospitals greatest needs.
For more information about Cincinnati Walks for Kids, or to register to walk or support a walker, visit the Website at www.cincinnatichildrens.org/walk or call 636-2941 “Families often tell us they are walking to support the courageous child in their life or to raise awareness for a childhood disease or hospital program they are passionate about,” said Christina Mihalek, walk coordinator. “The walk provides a way for people to celebrate their loved ones and support a worthy cause.”

Pleasant Run saw improvements in every area but one on the 20082009 State Report Card. Fourth grade reading scores jumped more than 11 percent and fifth grade science scores also saw an increase of more than 11 percent. Pleasant Run Elementary School Principal Joan Farabee and Welch Primary Principal Linda Dawes say communication between the principals and staff of the two buildings is one reason things are running so smoothly. Both are quick to point out the places where they support or build on the programs of the other building in the partnership. That’s how they see the narrow grade range building set up between the two schools: A partnership that is preparing students for

Hogan took the firstplace honor at the recent Council on Aging art show for her water color painting. She’s been expressing herself through art since, she said, she was old enough to hold a pencil and brush. “Art is something I have to do,” she said with a smile. “It’s in my blood.” Hogan was a graphic designer and commercial artist by profession. Now retired, Hogan said her art “is fun now.” Hogan and Janet Goldschmidt teach an art class at the Springfield Township Senior Center where both have been members for years. “There’s always something going on here and whether it’s our art class or other programs, everyone should join,” Hogan said.

is shared with all his or her fellow grade level teachers. The principals say professional development for teachers is much more focused and teachers are more engaged because it’s relevant to them. The collaboration has spilled over to the PTAs, as well. Dawes and Farabee said the newsletters come out at the same time and are in the same style. “We have a lot of the same parents at both schools,” Farabee said. “So they have continuity. And we share events, as well.” For example, Farabee says Welch students and families will participate in the popular Knight of Pumpkin Carving at Pleasant Run later this month and Pleasant Run students and families will participate in Welch’s Santa event later this year. “There is a lot of support between the buildings,” Farabee said.
REAL ESTATE THIS WEEK By Mark Schupp
A WELL-SCHOOLED DECISION Thequalityoftheschooldistrictisanimportantdeterminant of the market value of a house. For buyers with children, the quality and reputation of the local school system may be as critical to their decision as the appeal of the house. The desire for a quality education usually causes parents who are in the market for a home to ask questions abut the local school district. What is the annual expenditure per pupil and the average class size? How do the district’s standardized test scores compare with the national mean? Are special educational programs available? What percentage of high school graduates go on to college? What is the physical condition of the schools and the district’s record in handling school bond proposals? Parents may also want to know the school board’s educational philosophy. A professional Realtor has the experience and knowledge to help you choose the right community and schools for your family. Mark Schupp has been a Real Estate Agent for the past 28 years and is a Certified Residential Specialist.

academic success now and in the future. Having so many teachers teaching the same grade level is a real boon, Dawes said. At Welch, there are five second grade teachers, six first grade teachers three kindergarten teachers. At Pleasant Run, there are six teachers at each grade level who teach different subject areas. Andrew Jackson, director of curriculum services, says he thinks one of the pilot’s strengths is that he has principals who are strong in the area of curriculum development. “I want my principals to be educational leaders, not just building managers,” he said. Both principals say collaboration among their teachers is paying off for students. For example, one teacher in a grade level may do the planning for enrichment or intervention which

Northwest High gets literacy grant The Northwest High School Library was awarded $3075.84 by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. This money will be used to fund a project developed by librarian Bethany Miller and social studies teacher Terryl Meador. The project brings together literacy and history in Meador’s classes Women in American History and Advanced Placement U.S. History. In the Women in American History class, students
will read historical fiction that features girls or women as the main characters. The AP U.S. History class will read books centered on the theme of “Coming of Age in America.” The purpose of the project is not only to enhance students’ understanding of the time periods they are studying, but also help them develop a love of reading.

Seitz receives honors for supporting children State Sen. Bill Seitz (R – 8th District)) was recently named Legislator of the Year for 2009 by the Public Children Services Association of Ohio (PCSAO) for his strong support of Ohio's child protection system both as a member of the Ohio House and now as a member of the Ohio Senate. The award was presented during the PCSAO annual conference in Dublin on Sept. 10. “I am honored and humbled to receive this important award,” said Seitz. “I have fought throughout my legislative career to ensure all our state's young people, no matter their background, have the support and guidance necessary to grow and succeed.”
In 2007, Seitz played a key role in crafting House Bill 214, which was designed to ensure fosSeitz ter parents have the training and preparation necessary to properly care for a foster child. In particular, he worked to secure a provision in the bill to protect confidential foster parent information from public record. In addition, Seitz has consistently supported funding for communitybased, juvenile justice, mental health programs to help divert youth from Department of Youth Services' institutions.
Rebuilt Aiken to get middle-schoolers

A rebuilt Aiken High School will include classroom space for middleschool students, according to the construction plans approved by the Cincinnati school board recently. It’s the first tangible step toward fulfilling Superintendent Mary Ronan’s desire to eventually shift the district’s
seventh- and eighth-graders to high school campuses. For 15 years, the district has put most middle-schoolers in K8 schools, but Ronan – and numerous parents – say that structure hasn’t worked out. The expanded plans now call for the College Hill high school, scheduled to be torn down and rebuilt by 2013, to house 1,000 students in grades 7-12. Previously, CPS had planned a 600-student school only for the traditional high school grades. A new Aiken is budgeted to cost $29.2 million, and will be among the final schools completed in the district’s citywide $1.07 billion school rebuilding project. Any actual transition for the middle grades is at least three years away, and no decisions have been made regarding which current K8 schools would be affected, Ronan said.
Police say woman left child in car Cincinnati News Service A mother was arrested and charged with leaving her infant daughter behind in a car outside a shopping center Thursday. Eryn R. Yancey, 28, of Carthage, was held overnight at the Hamilton County jail on a child endangering charge.

Hollenkamp Foundation presents 29 scholarships
The Aubrey Rose Hollenkamp Foundation presented scholarships this summer to 29 students who have continued their education in Catholic high schools. Unlike scholarships that reward students for academics or sports, the Aubrey Rose Hollenkamp Foundation recognizes students for their kind-heartedness. Each recipient wrote an essay explaining a positive impact they made in someone’s life. At their eighth-grade graduations, each student was awarded a $500 scholarship toward their freshman year of high school. The foundation hosted a reception to honor the scholarship recipients and their families, and share the purposes and goals of the foundation. This year’s recipients were: • Melina Artmayer of Delhi Township, a graduate of St. Teresa of Avila School who now attends Mother of Mercy High School; • Shelby Ashcraft, Delhi Township, Our Lady of Victory School, Seton High School; • Eric Bachus, Bridgetown, St. Jude School, La Salle High School; • Blake Bischoff, Harrison, St. John the Baptist School – Harrison, La Salle; • Alan Bossman, Forest Park, St. Gabriel Consolidated School, Roger Bacon High School; • Olivia Browning, Northside, St. Boniface School, McAuley High School;

“It is a wonderful privilege to have 29 young men and women join our foundation as scholarship recipients, but even more extraordinary because each student has demonstrated a genuinely compassionate heart,” said Nancy Hollenkamp, Aubrey’s mother. The Aubrey Rose Hollenkamp Foundation was founded in 2001 to carry on the spirit of a little girl named Aubrey through helping the community. Aubrey endured many medical procedures, including a heart and double lung transplant, and long hospital stays. In her three short years, she made positive impacts on many people.

Knights celebrate homecoming Oct. 9 Heads up! Traffic will be delayed in the area around Northwest High School on Friday, Oct. 9, as the Knights celebrate homecoming. The Northwest Boosters Homecoming parade kicks off at 6 p.m. The parade will travel the same route as years past, down Civic Center, turning left onto Pippin heading up and ending at Northwest High School. Steve (Doc) Dailey will be the Grand Marshal, presenting the ball at mid-field for the start of the game. Half time festivities will consist of the crowning of this year’s Homecoming Queen and King. This year’s homecoming theme is
a” Knight of Chance.” “We hope to see the streets lined with Knights fans, cheering our team onto a victory over Talawanda,” said Tammy Miller, who is helping to organize the parade. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Miller is still looking for convertibles and drivers to chauffeur the homecoming court in the parade. Anyone who has one and can drive it – you must be 18 years or older with valid insurance – should call Miller at 328-8892. “We would also love to see Northwest alumni participate in the parade,” she said. “It would be wonderful to embrace the word ‘Homecoming’ for all alumni.

The Cardinals (4-2, 3-0) have now won four straight after opening the year with back-to-back losses to St. Xavier and Elder. Colerain mustered just seven points in those two games and was shutout 16-0 by St. X. Colerain beat Princeton 31-14 on Oct. 2. “What we do offensively is not an easy thing to do,” head coach Tom Bolden said. “In those first two games, we just weren’t as sharp as needed to be, and the quality of competition we played was the biggest thing.” Since its 20-7 loss at Elder Sept. 6, however, Colerain is scoring at a frenzied pace, averaging 39 points per game. The Cardinals got back on track with a 42-0 win over Louisville Dupont Manual Sept. 11. “Our defense played well enough (against St. X and Elder for us to win), so it was nice to put it all together,” Bolden said of the Dupont game. Colerain had 461 yards on the ground and was led by senior quarterback Greg Tabar, who ran for 221 yards and a touchdown; juniors Trayion Durham and Tyler Williams, meanwhile, combined for 200 rushing yards and four touchdowns. “Offensively, it’s been somebody else each week, and that’s kind of what you get when you run the option,” Bolden said. In a 48-24 win over Lakota East Sept. 18, that somebody was Williams, who totaled 219 yards on 11 carries – a silly 19.9 yards per touch. He also had a 63-yard punt return for a touchdown, as Colerain amassed 561 yards – only three of which came through the air. “The only thing disappointing about that game was we didn’t play as well as we could have defensively,” Bolden said. The 24 points allowed by the Cardinals were the most they’ve given up in a game all season; of course, 14 of those points came in the

Colerain’s Greg Tabar picks up yards in the first half against Princeton. Colerain beat Princeton 31-14. fourth quarter when Colerain was up 48-10. The Cardinals has been led on the defensive side of the ball by junior inside linebacker Jarrett Grace and senior strong safety Bam Harrison. “Those two have been the catalysts,” Bolden said. Harrison had three crucial interceptions in a 27-16 win at Hamilton Sept. 24, a game in which Colerain trailed 16-7 just before halftime. But in the fourth quarter, with Colerain leading 20-16, senior Tyon Dixon, a Louisville recruit, blocked a punt and recovered it for a touchdown. And with that, the Cardinals’ playoff hopes remained alive. Colerain is currently No. 22 in the Region 4 Harbin Ratings, as only the top eight teams qualify for the playoffs; among those
teams after Week 5 are Elder, Moeller, St. Xavier, Springboro, Middletown, Lakota West, Anderson and La Salle. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, they do not play two of the top teams in the GMC this year – Lakota West (5-1, 3-0) and Fairfield (3-3, 2-1) – both of which are ranked in the top 10 in the city. “We need the teams we play to beat them,” Bolden said. “It’s an uphill battle.” Bolden was criticized earlier this season for scheduling – and losing – games to St. X and Elder, games which he knew could jeopardize the Cardinals’ playoff chances. But Bolden took it in stride. “I didn’t worry about (the criticism) at all,” he said. “I wouldn’t change a thing about those two

McNick fullback Pat Fitzgerald had 74 rushing yards for the Rockets (3-3), who are at Purcell Marian on Oct. 10. Tanner Sprong was 7 of 18 passing for 73 yards and the Spartans only managed 54 rushing yards on 26 attempts. Roger Bacon (15) has dropped five in a row and faces Badin on Oct. 9 at Hamilton.
Don’t call it an upset: St. X downs Elder By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
Steve Specht isn’t ready to call it an upset. “I don’t know what an upset is,” the St. Xavier head football coach said. “From a fan’s perspective, (Elder is) first in the city and third in the country, so of course we’re underdogs. “But I’m not ready to call it an upset.” Upset or not, the bottom line is the Bombers emerged with a much-needed 17-7 home victory over the Panthers Oct. 2. St. Xavier and Elder both stand at 5-1 following the week-six game. Entering the contest, Elder was No. 3 in the USA Today Super 25 with the Bombers slotted at No. 25. But St. Xavier gained 133 yards on the ground compared to Elder’s total of

serve the win. Nick Weston finished with 5.5 tackles to lead the Bombers. Sean Duggan contributed an interception and a sack. Massa was 10-of-13 passing for 147 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions. “When you win, you have to be humble,” Specht said. “When you lose, you have to be gracious in defeat.” St. X entered its slugfest with the Panthers fresh off a 12-7 defeat at Highlands (Ky.). “When you play a schedule like we do, you have to be on the top of your game every week,” Specht said. “You can’t have a letdown.” But the Bombers had one, as Highlands held St. Xavier scoreless until 27 seconds remained in the game.
“(My players) weren’t better prepared, and I blame myself,” Specht said. “So I told the kids it was my fault, but I challenged them to get better as individuals.” The Bombers were coming off the emotional high of a 43-13 thrashing of fourtime defending Kentucky state champion Louisville Trinity, and Specht said they may have been caught looking ahead to Elder. “For (Highlands), this was their national championship game,” he said. “For us, it was Week Five. We always look at each game as a great opportunity to go 1-0. We try to keep it even keel, but maybe I need to evaluate how I approach this.” St. X shot itself in the foot with turnovers and special-teams blunders, but its defense, which had multiple goal-line stands, kept the team in the game.

Lions on cusp of national ranking By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
The UC Bearcats are the only nationally ranked football team in Cincinnati. For now. The College of Mount St. Joseph squad is a perfect 30 (as of Oct. 2) and for several weeks has been an Honorable Mention in the Division-III Top 25 poll. “We’re not a Top 25 team yet, but I really like where we’re at,” head coach Rod Huber said. “We’re learning how to play as a team.” Mount St. Joe opened the year with a 27-18 win over Wilmington College Sept. 5. Quarterback Craig Mustard (Mason), a Miami of Ohio transfer, threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns, hooking up both times with wideout Derick Tabar (Colerain) to give the Lions a 14-12 halftime lead. Tailback Jake Davis (Anderson) gave his team some breathing room with a 2-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. Wide receiver Mike Zies (Anderson) chipped in with four catches for 56 yards, and linebacker Erik Prosser (Oak Hills) led the defense with 16 tackles and a forced fumble. Prosser was named Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Week for his efforts. “He’s done a nice job,” Huber said. “He has the ability to make plays. He runs well and plays exceptionally hard.” Prosser also led the Lions in tackles (12) during their second game, a 42-19 shellacking of Lakeland College (WI) Sept. 12. Tabar had another bid day at wideout, hauling in six receptions for 144 yards and two touchdowns, including a 61-yard scoring
burst; he, too, was named HCAC Offensive Player of the Week. “His speed is deceptive,” Huber said. “He took a 3yard pass against Lakeland, made two moves and was 60 yards down the field. He has a knack for making tough catches, and he blocks well.” Wide receiver Brad Sersion (Anderson) added eight catches of his own for the Lions, which led 28-7 at halftime, and Davis added 64 rushing yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. Mount St. Joe remained perfect after its bye week, securing a 45-38 win over Rose-Hulman in its first league game of the season. “We knew Rose-Hulman had a very good offense, so we wanted to run the ball and keep their offense off the field,” Huber said. “We were able to do that, and they still put up 38 on us. But we feel our defense is capable of slowing people down.” Although the Lions allowed 38 points, they had several big plays defensively, including a recovered fumble by Alex Harbin (Elder). Offensively, Davis had 155 yards and two touchdowns on the ground; he also had a 69-yard touchdown reception. Not surprisingly, he was named HCAC Player of the Week. “He’s had some big games for us,” said Huber, who also been impressed with tailback Brandon Brown (Atlanta Westlake) and senior offensive linemen Anthony Walsh (Moeller) and Chris Harrison (Oak Hills). In addition to HCAC awards, the Mount St. Joe coaching staff also doles out player-of-the-week honors. Recipients include Tabar, Davis, Prosser, freshman
defensive back Jerrick Boykin (Glen Este), junior kicker Brian Weimer (Oak Hills), defensive lineman Rob Fox (Colerain) and senior punter Joe Vortkamp (Anderson). “Jerrick has been our No. 2 guy and got some playing time due to an injury,” Huber said. “He made three big plays (against RoseHulman) and ended the game on an interception.” Huber praised Boykin for being a model Lion. “He went through his reps very quietly, didn’t complain about not getting much playing time, and then he came in and shined,” he said. “I tell my kids ‘I’m not sure how much you’re going to play, but you better be prepared for when you do.’” The Lions may be young this year – “We only have three or four seniors on both sides of the ball,” Huber said – but they are certainly diverse; they boast players from eight different states, including New York, Florida and Missouri. “I’m very proud and excited that we’ve been able to recruit on a regional level, which was unheard of when I got here,” said Huber, who arrived at Mount St. Joe in 1990. “That said, we butter our bread with the (Interstate) 275 kids. Some of these kids used to be rivals (in high school), but when they step into the locker room, they’re a team. They drop the Elder/La Salle and Oak Hills/Harrison baggage at the door. They still have some fun on Saturday mornings and talk about which high schools won on Friday. But it’s one heartbeat.” Huber has been extremely pleased with the camaraderie among his players; his defense, for example,

The Thomas More College men’s golf team shot a 36hole total of 599 (293-306) to win the Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) Fall Invitational Sept. 29, and senior Joe Ruzick, a La Salle High School graduate, earned medalist honors at the event held at Oak Tree Country Club in West Middlesex, Penn. Ruzick carded a 141 (6873) to earn medalist honors over his teammate junior Brandon Dulle (Cincinnati, Ohio/Saint Xavier), who finished second with a 145 (7174).

Last week’s question
Do you plan to get either the regular flu shot or the H1N1 vaccine? Why or why not? “Yes to both. I’m pregnant so the benefits to baby and me outweigh the risks. A lot of the hysteria from the 1970s swine flu vaccine has been completely blown out of proportion, and so I don’t see the H1N1 shot as much different than the regular flu vaccine, which also changes every year based on the flu strain.” N.H. “Honestly, I haven’t decided. In years past, I never got the flu vaccine, and I can’t remember when I had the flu the last time. And the H1N1 vaccine is still not completely vetted. The regular flu vaccine is available at Walgreens for $24.99, and that isn’t too outrageous. If I were more certain that the H1N1 vaccine was extremely effective, I would probably get it when it is available. But I think I’ll pass on the regular shot – thanks for making me focus on this!” Bill B.
“I’ve already received the regular flu shot and I’ll get the H1N1 flu shot (‘Mexican Flu’ as it should properly be called) if there’s any left after those in the higher risk categories get theirs. No ethical slur intended but it’s known as the Mexican Flu in the rest of the world.” R.V. “Both my wife and I got flu inoculations weeks ago and we plan to get H1N1 inoculations as soon as available. Suffering for a week with either disease is not worth the small inconvenience of getting the inoculation. There is no meaningful scientific support for the argument that it might give you the flu or produce other side effects. Negative reactions are rare. People who ignore the threat needlessly endanger their loved ones and others around them. Sure some will get the flu, even if they had the inoculation, but the symptoms will be less severe and there will be many fewer cases for those that too precautions. “Avoiding flu inoculations is one more risky behavior like unsafe sex, smoking, DUI, driving while texting. Like these other behaviors it puts others at risk. Unlike these behaviors, actually catching the flu is a way to get inoculated against getting that strain again, living proof that a higher power must look after the clinically clueless.” F.S.D. “I do not get flu shots. They are not guaranteed to prevent your getting the flu, seasonal or otherwise. A shot ‘can help’ to avoid the flu ‘up to 70 percent’ is not the same as saying a person has a 70 percent chance of not getting the flu. The wording indicates that the shots have the ability, not the certainty, of preventing the flu in 0 percent to 70 percent of those who get them. Even if the shots were free, I still wouldn’t take the chance of having side effects. Not good odds.” A.B. “I’ve already gotten my flu shot. As for the H1N1, my doctor said he is going to follow whatever recommendation the CDC comes out with for our age group. I’ll probably be a low priority.” M.K.T. “Many health care professionals report that they don’t get flu shots, and many laypersons see this as justification for also not getting them. “The missing part of that conversation is that health care professionals are often exposed to infectious
This week’s question
Ohio allows early voting. Is this a good idea and do you plan to take advantage of the opportunity? Why or why not? Every week The Northwest Press asks readers a questions that they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answers to northwestpress@community press.com with “chatroom” in the subject line. agents and their immune systems are typically in top shape. The value of the flu shot is not just to protect you – it is to prevent you from passing the illness along to others. “So if you are healthy AND you don’t regularly come in contact with anyone who might be less able to resist a serious illness, you can take the gamble. “Ordinarily the flu is part of nature. This one is not ordinary, and it’s worth taking a little extra caution this time. It’s socially responsible. Maybe we’re past the era of flu epidemics, but a visit to any large and old graveyard will remind us of the clusters of childhood deaths around certain years. We won’t know for sure what we’re dealing with until it’s too late to change it. The H1N1 vaccine is a lot less than an ounce of prevention.” N.F. “Since my employer plans to offer free regular flu shots (for all employees) and the H1N1 shot (first to high-risk employees, then others as more vaccine becomes available), I’ll be sure to take advantage of both. “This is a serious flu season and everyone should get the vaccinations as soon as they are available. Also, be sure to wash your hands with soap and HOT water as often as possible every day and avoid hand contact with others whenever feasible.” M.M. “Yes, my husband and I will be getting the regular flu shot at Krogers, H1N1 seems to effect younger people. We are 85 and 86 so it seems to be the right thing to do.” J.F. “I was at doctor’s office at the end of August. He asked if I wanted my flu shot. I was curious since we couldn’t get them before October in the past. He stated the CDC advised to start giving them at that time. Yes, my husband and I both got our shots. When the H1N1 meds are available, we will get them. I’m 64 and too young to die. I want to die at age 100 at the hands of a much younger jealous housewife.” GJM I did just receive my annual flu shot from the VA. Again, it was painless and for the past 10 years, I have not had the flu or anything close to it. I have other numerous ailments however, related to 25 years of military service. I plan on getting the H1N1 vaccine as soon as it is available through the VA. Believe it or not, this skeptic has to trust the government again regarding the “swine flu.” It seems to be in what started out as deaths from mainly “relapses” affected only the young and those elderly with medical conditions. It’s scary to now know it has pretty much covered more than several age groups. In closing, I mention again, “relapses.” Relapses that sent patients home from the hospital only to shortly die with a diagnosis of H1N1. As a skeptic, get both. J.W.

Ohio to join violent death reporting system Violent death is a pressing public health concern in Ohio and the United States. In fact, some 50,000 Americans die violently each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Ohio reported 2,007 violent deaths in 2007, the most recent year for which data are available. The vast majority of violent deaths in Ohio were either suicides (63 percent) or homicides (32 percent); other categories accounted for about 5 percent of violent deaths. In an effort to better understand – and ultimately prevent – violent deaths, CDC in 2002 established the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS). And now, thanks to a four-year grant from CDC, the great state of Ohio is poised to become NVDRS’ 18th participant, joining Alaska, California, Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin in this important partnership. Beginning Sept. 1, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) will
receive about $274,000 from CDC annually and will use the funds to develop, administer and implement the Ohio Violent Death Reporting Alvin D. System (OVDRS). Jackson ODH will conan OVDRS Community vene advisory board Press guest comprised of columnist stakeholders and data owners to help with this process. OVDRS, like NVDRS, will consider violent deaths to be homicides, legal interventions, suicides, unintentional firearms deaths, terrorism-related deaths and deaths of undetermined intent. While ODH and some of its sister agencies collect violent death and/or crime data, none of them maintain a single repository of all variables of interest. With the help of these federal funds, ODH will be able to capture data from multiple sources and analyze extenuating circumstances surrounding violent deaths in Ohio. To streamline these data and

A Night to Remember
The 2009 Colerain Homecoming Parade wound through subdivision streets Oct. 2, giving Cardinals a chance to show their spirit and fans a chance to show their support. The Colerain Homecoming was a good one for the team and the fans: a 31-14 Cardinal victory over Princeton. PHOTOS BY JENNIE KEY/STAFF
Weigel Elementary teacher Cyndi Braude and the Weigel Wildcats had a great time along the parade route.
Every parade needs a band.
The Little Cards cheerleaders brought Cardinal spirit as they walked the route.
Mark Bierken and Maribeth Snyder, favorite teachers voted by students, enjoyed tossing candy to those along the parade route.
The Northwest Productions Dance Team was a colorful addition to the parade.
The Grand Marshal of the 2009 Colerain High School Homecoming Parade was Russ Brewer, who volunteers with the football team.
Student clubs made grocery cart floats for the parade. The Art Club used Van Gogh’s Starry Night to play off the Homecoming Theme, A Night to Remember.
The Marching Cardinals drum line provided a beat as the parade wound along the subdivision streets on its way to Cardinal Stadium.
Don Schuttee, a 1988 graduate of Oak Hills High School, was sporting Highlander gear at the Cardinal parade but his daughters are staunch Cardinal fans. Mark Wilmes, 8, said the parade was better than Halloween when it comes to hauling in candy.
Alicia Auhagan, Cara Gartner and Chelsea Staubach were the chairs for the 2009 Colerain Homecoming.

Checking our images of God the recent novel, “The Shack,” seems to be the different images used for the Triune-God. Archie would have condemned the book. Certainly there is a need to recognize the stability and steadfastness of God. The psalmists often used descriptive words like “fortress” and “rock” to do this. What must be remembered is that God is an absolute mystery. St. Anselm described God as “The One beyond that is able to be thought.” That
means in our dealings with God we must develop a tolerance for ambiguity. In his book “God, The Oldest Question,” William J. O’Malley, S.J., writes, “I do believe that the Holy Spirit is a feminine principle within God, just as the book of Wisdom pictures her. “But in my experience, God is … far more masculine (challenging, rational, decisive, unbending) than feminine (cherishing, enfolding, mothering, consoling.) Again in my experi-
ence, if God is a ‘she,’ God is one damn tough cookie.” The parables of Jesus Christ are stories about people, but their real plot is about the heart of God. Notice that there is always an element of astonishment, surprise and the unexpected in them. The measured expectations of those hearing them are shattered. God was always more than anticipated. John Shea writes, “As Mark says, ‘He was too much for them.’ Like a

Humans have a strong tendency to categorize things. Then we paste our categories in a mental book titled, “Things I Know For Sure.” This makes us feel more secure but less enthralled. Often it takes a crisis to rediscover how something old can be new again. St. Augustine has always intrigued me. After his conversion to Christianity, he wrote a prayer that began, “Late have I loved you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new …” Imagine that! Not perceiving God in the typical category of being judgmental, severe or powerful – but beautiful. God is a frequent recipient of our familiarizing. God never grows up in our minds, never becomes new, exciting and breathtaking. He remains an old grandfatherly man or mean-spirited critic. To expand the quality of our lives, G.K. Chesterton once said that our spiritual and psychological task is to learn to look at familiar things until they become unfamiliar again. This holds true whether the familiar thing be a flower, a snowfall, a job or even God. Mystics call this process “awakening.” Most of our lives we just go on turning the pages of our mental book, “Things I Know For Sure.” Our pictures of God were pasted there when we were kids. Now they’re cracked, sepia-colored, and a little dusty. Archie Bunker had a large album of them to which he referred frequently. One of the attractions to

Author Kathleen Norris writes: “One so often hears people say, ‘I just can’t handle it,’ when they reject a biblical image of God as Father, Mother, as Lord and Judge, God as a lover… God on a cross. … If we seek a God we can ‘handle’ that will be exactly what we get – a God we can manipulate, sus-

Treat your palate to tastes of the past
When it comes to autumn festivals, two stand out for me – the Renaissance Festival in Harveysburg, Ohio, and the Old West Fest i v a l between M o u n t Orab and Williamsburg. They are as difRita ferent as Heikenfeld night and day to Rita’s kitchen e a c h other, but each is historically correct, whether it’s the architecture, dress code, entertainment, or the food offered. Plus when you visit, you are literally transported back into time. Now I love to cook, but I’m not sure I’d make it as a “Renaissance girl” in the kitchen. And I don’t think Drew Deimling, a Hyde Park reader and proprietor of the Old West Festival, would hire me as a cowgirl rustling up supper. I thought it would be fun, though, to share recipes for the kind of foods eaten during those times.
Kathy’s Renaissance chicken pie served in bread bowls
Originally from Kathy Kneipp, a Clermont County reader. She loves history and taught her kids about the Renaissance by having them help her prepare a Renaissance meal. Here’s my adaptation: 2 frying chickens, cut up 1 teaspoon garlic powder (opt.) 1 small onion, cut up 4 tablespoons butter 1 ⁄2 cup flour 1 cup milk Broth from chicken Salt and pepper to taste Fill a pan with enough water to cover chicken, add garlic powder and onion, but do not add the chicken yet. Bring water to a boil. Lower heat then add chicken. Simmer until tender. Remove chicken, let cool and remove from bones. Reserve broth. Melt butter in a skillet, whisk in flour and cook slowly for one minute. Add 1 cup milk and 1⁄2 cup chicken broth and stir carefully. Add another 1⁄2 cup broth.
1 tablespoon each: vinegar and Worcestershire sauce Dash or two Tabasco sauce (opt.)

Bread bowl meal offered up at the Renaissance Festival. Season everything with salt and pepper. Place chicken on a serving platter and pour sauce over and serve. To serve in bread bowls: Cut off top of round loaf of bread. Hollow out bottom 2⁄3, and set the reserved bread aside. In preheated 350 degree oven, toast the hollowed out bread round along with the reserved pieces for a few minutes. Pour the chicken topped with sauce into bread bowl. Use chunks of reserved bread to dunk into bowl and to act as a utensil.

Cook a pork loin roast in 3 cups water with a diced onion, a teaspoon or so minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste, in the crockpot until done (about three hours on high, five hours on low). When cool, shred. Measure out 1 quart broth from cooked meat. Add to that: 1 bottle ketchup 1 ⁄2 cup mustard 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon paprika (opt.) 1 ⁄2 to 1 cup brown sugar 1 bay leaf 2 slices lemon
Cook 10 minutes, remove bay leaf and add meat that has been shredded. Put all back in crockpot and cook 30 minutes longer, uncovered. Use a soup ladle to serve on warm buns. Even easier: To a bottle of purchased barbecue sauce, sprinkle in some chili powder, garlic powder and, if you want it sweeter, brown sugar to taste. Thin with a bit of the broth if you want. Again, cook about 30 minutes uncovered in the crockpot.

Tim Cleary, vice president of the Winton Woods school district board of education, will present the needs of the schools at the Thursday night, Oct. 8, meeting of the Springfield Township Democratic Club. Winton Woods is seeking approval of a 7.95-mill, 10year, emergency levy. The Novermber election will be the district's fifth attempt to pass a levy. A previous proposal was defeated at a special election in August. Also speaking at the Democratic club meeting will be a representative of the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal, speaking on behalf of Issue 6, the renewal and reduction of the center's levy. The levy would generate $16.2 million over five years for occupancy costs and maintenance at Union Terminal, owned by Cincinnati and Hamilton County taxpayers. The levy would cost $4.44 per year for the owner of a $100,000 home. In addition, representatives from Organizing for America, which supports the Obama administration's push for health-insurance reform, will make a presentation. The group is an extension of the grassroots movement formed during last year's Obama campaign. The presentations begin at 8 p.m., following the club business meeting at 7 p.m. The Springfield Township Democratic Club meets at 7 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month at the township's senior center, behind

Art Beyond Sight Awareness month is an opportunity for people to join together to raise public awareness
about making art and culture a part of life for children and adults affected by sight loss. The notion also recognizes that art education and exposure to the arts are crucial for advancement of many key issues in the education and rehabilitation of people who are blind. Clovernook supports this by providing people who are blind or visually impaired the opportunity to learn how to produce art through the use of clay, papiermâchÊ, and several mediums for painting.

If you’ve been growing your tropical plants outdoors all summer, as summer fades and fall arrives, it’s time to get them ready to go back inside the house for the winter. The first thing to do is to move your tropical or nonhardy plants into a shady location outside, and leave then there for 10 days to two weeks. This helps to acclimate them to the lower light conditions they’ll be receiving once inside your home. By the way, during this time, do be aware of possible cold temperatures and even frosts, where your plants will need extra protection! Just before bringing them inside, there are three things for you to do. Hose them off with a strong stream of water. You may even want to do this a couple times while they’re acclimating in the shade. This helps to blow off any insects that may be hanging out on the plants. Immediately before bringing them inside, give your plants a good spraying of insecticidal soap, making sure you spray tops and bottoms of the leaves, stems, trunks and all. Again, trying to get rid of any hitchhiking bugs! (If you do this the same day you’re bringing them inside, let the spray dry, then bring the plants indoors.) If possible, lay the plant on its side, slide it out of the pot, and inspect the root ball for any unwanted bugs or
anything else that may be hiding in the bottom of the pot. Rodents, Ron Wilson even snakes have been In the found hiding garden here. One way to make sure nothing is in the soil (ants, etc.) is to fill a large tub with water, and then submerge the plant pot and all in the water for several hours. Anything in the soil will either drown, or will float to the top of the water. It’s also a great way to soak the soil. Just make sure you allow it plenty of time to drain before bringing it into the house. Move your tropical plant indoors to a well-lit area indoors, and away from heat vents and cold drafts. Place a saucer under the pot. As a general rule, water the plants well, let dry, water again. And never let water sit in the saucer. Use lukewarm water for watering. Expect leaves to drop as the plants make their final acclimation to the indoor lighting. It’s natural. And do keep your eyes open for any flare-ups of insects on the plants. Keep insecticidal soaps, systemic insecticides, and whitefly traps on hand just in case. Ron Wilson is marketing manager for Natorp’s Inc.. Reach him at columns@ communitypress.com.

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).

Enjoy a train ride through Warren County in Southwestern, Ohio to Schappacher Farm in Mason, Ohio. Everyone gets to pet the animals, select a pumpkin and find your way through a corn maze on a real working farm!

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week
The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast
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…

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.
