District sees first H1N1 cases By Jennie Key
District guidelines for the H1N1 flu
jkey@communitypress.com
It’s here. A number of confirmed cases of H1N1 flu have been identified in the Northwest Local School District in the past two weeks. Pauletta Crowley, administrative assistant for community and administrative services for the district, said principals are sending home e-mail notices if a student in their building has H1N1 confirmed by a doctor. Notices to parents have been sent from Colerain High School, Colerain Middle School and Northwest High School. “A lot of doctors are no longer testing for the H1N1 strain,” she said. “But if the H1N1 is confirmed by a doctor, we will notify parents.” She said guidelines from the Hamilton County General Health District say schools should send home any student who shows two or more flu symptoms and the dis-
In the Northwest Local School District, students with influenza type illnesses are expected to follow the guidelines published by the Centers for Disease Control and Hamilton County Public Health. Students must be fever free for 24 hours without the use of medication before returning to school. The district will continue to work with the building custodians to be sure that the effected classrooms and common areas continue to receive a thorough cleaning. Parents are being asked to help prevent the spread of the germs that cause flu by teaching their child proper hygiene, including: • Washing hands often with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand cleaner. • Covering the nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, or using a sleeve. • Avoiding contact with eyes, nose and mouth. • Avoiding close contact with sick individuals. If parents have concerns, they should call their children’s school. trict is following those guidelines. The district is getting ready for H1N1 vaccines, which are on the way. Roger Argalas, administrative assistant for student services for the district, said schools will be vaccination sites for the H1N1 flu shots for all district students in kindergarten through grade 12
once the vaccine is available. Consent forms for the vaccines were due back to the district Oct. 9. If you are a parent who has not returned your forms, you need to do so immediately, Crowley said. The consent form must be returned to your child’s school in order to receive the vaccine. Argalas sent out information to

parents earlier this month in preparation for the vaccination program. He said the vaccinations are voluntary, free and will be administered in the district’s school buildings to students in kindergarten through grade 12. Preschool students are not included in the program. There will be evening sessions for parents who wish to accompany their children in kindergarten through grade 2, as well as for home schooled students who live in the district. Locations for the evening sessions will be announced at a later date. Dates for vaccinations have not been determined but district officials say they don’t expect much notice once it arrives in the county. Argalas said the district has posted consent forms and information about the H1N1 virus and the vaccination program on the district’s Web site at www.nwlsd.org.
Green getting state’s first vets tower By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
One fish, two fish…

Green Township residents are invited to take part in two days of festivities honoring the community’s military veterans and commemorating the township’s bicentennial. As part of its year-long celebration of 200 years of community, the township is installing a Veterans Tribute Tower crafted by The Verdin Co. at Veterans Park on Harrison Avenue. “We thought it would be a nice, unique presentation to the citizens and the veterans of Green Township,” said Green Township Trustee Tony Upton. “It’s a tribute to 200 years of the township and the veterans who have served our country.” Bob Santoro, spokesman for Cincinnatibased Verdin Co., said the bell and clock maker is building and installing Veterans Tribute Towers across the United States as a way to enable communities to honor and thank their veterans. He said for every tower built, Verdin donates a portion of the revenue to the Commission on the Future of America’s Veterans, a private body examining the needs of our veterans and developing a strategic plan for their future as their needs in health care, employment and transition back to their communities grow. Green Township will use tax increment financing funds to pay for the tower, which costs $225,000, according to the township. “The Green Township community has a deep tradition of honoring veterans and will be bringing the first Veterans Tribute Tower to the state of Ohio,” Santoro said. Jennifer Barlow, Green Township’s development assistant and member of the Bicentennial Committee, said the tower itself, which stands 30 feet tall, was scheduled to be delivered to the township Saturday, Oct. 10 –

escorted by the Patriot Guard Riders. She said Verdin will then bring its Bell Foundry on Wheels to Veterans Park at noon Friday, Oct. 16, allowing members of the community to take part in the creation of the tower’s 250-pound bell. She said two students from each school in the township, representatives from each branch of the military and members of Green Township VFW Post 10380 will participate in an ingot passing ceremony, in which 500 pounds of bronze ingots will be placed in a furnace and melted. Santoro said the molten bronze is then poured into a custom made bell mold where it will cool and harden overnight. The pouring and firing of Green Township’s bell will begin at 6 p.m. on Oct. 16. Barlow said dignitaries and former township trustees will help break the mold surrounding the bell in a ceremony at noon Saturday, Oct. 17. She said township residents could get a chance to break the mold as well. After the bell is sandblasted and polished for four hours, she said the township will unveil its custom-made bronze bell at a ceremony and reception at 6 p.m. Oct. 17, at the administration building. “This is a gratifying experience to know that we will have a permanent, lasting tribute to those that made and continue to make sacrifices for each and every one of us each day,” Green Township Trustee Tracy Winkler said. Trustee David Linnenberg added, “This bell will be a voice for the Green Township community in their tributes to honor past, current and future veterans.” The township will dedicate the Veterans Tribute Tower during its observation of Veterans Day at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, at the park. “We’re trying to find the oldest veteran in the township to ring the bell on the 11th when the bell is dedicated,” Barlow said.

has purchased a used ladder truck from the Cincinnati Fire Department as a back up in case the front-line ladder truck is out of service. The used truck is a 1994 model and cost the department just under $25,000, according to Chief Bruce Smith. He said the department was fortunate to find a truck in such very good condition that was so similar to the one in service. Capt. Steve Conn, Colerain Township public information
officer, said the new truck gives the department the luxury of continuing to provide ladder truck services without having to rely on mutual aid even when its front-line apparatus is out of service for maintenance or repair. Conn said the truck is basically a “sister” truck to the one currently used by Colerain, which means the department’s firefighters have trained on the truck and are familiar with the truck’s systems.

centers for children, adults, seniors and competitive swimmers. Scheduled to open in May of 2010, the new complex will nearly double the size of the YMCA’s main outdoor pool. Making a more competitive pool for Y swim teams, the project will also include a baby pool with interactive features such as geysers and a palm tree that sprays water. The area will have a new deck and fencing as well as new lighting for evening swim meets. In addition to the pools, two adjoining tennis courts will be resurfaced and receive new lighting. Powel Crosley Jr. YMCA’s new outdoor swimming
pool will measure 50 meters by 25 yards with recreational diving boards on its deepest end. It’s being designed with a zero-entry wading entrance for accessibility. “We’re really excited for this new complex,” said Mike Leonard, Powel Crosley Jr. YMCA director of competitive swimming. “Our 45-year-old Tigersharks swim team has consistently ranked among the top 20 YMCA teams nationwide. “The new pool will allow us to accommodate more swimmers training at a higher level on our team, but it will also give us more opportunities to serve our community.”
District honors veterans All military veterans and active duty personnel are invited to attend the Friday, Oct. 23, football game at Northwest High School for the 2009 Military Veterans Celebration. The game, against Mount Healthy High School, begins at 7:30 p.m., with the ceremony to be held during halftime. Veterans will receive free admission to the game for themselves and one guest. Passes will be distributed at the gate. There will be a special handicap parking area for veterans, with golf carts available for special transportation needs. There will also be on-field seating available. Pauletta Crowley, administrative assistant for community and administrative services for the district, said

the Mount Healthy High School Marching Band and the chorus will participate with Northwest’s band and chorus in the program. Crowley said the district salute to veterans was the brainchild of Superintendent Rick Glatfelter, who she says is a “history buff with a soft spot for veterans.” She said Glatfelter met with representatives from a number of local veterans groups to plan the event. For more information, call 851-7300. District officials say the veteran’s celebration will alternate annually between the district’s two high schools. Next year, Northwest High School will host the Sept. 11 ceremony and Colerain High School will be the site for the Military Veterans Celebration.

There’s a vortex tunnel, Toyture Shop, and guests are invited to attend Frankenstein’s nuptials, if they dare. “We add new scenes and monsters every year,” Meale said. “We still have some of the favorites and you can bet there’ll be a chain saw or two. “People get upset when there isn’t a chain saw.” Chomping on his unlit cigar, Meale said “it’s the kids” that have kept him returning the Hall every year.

A 21-year-old Colerain Township woman was in a Cincinnati courtroom Oct. 7 on a child endangering
charge after sheriff's deputies checked out a report that her 1-year-old daughter may have ingested cocaine. The baby, according to Hamilton County court documents, had white powder on her hands when police arrived at Maylesa Cline's apartment on Endeavor
Drive. They also found powder cocaine on the back of seat of Cline's car right next to the baby's car seat. Cline told police the cocaine belonged to her boyfriend, court records say. Police searched the apartment and also charged Cline with receiving stolen
property after they found stolen credit cards under Cline's bed. Court documents said she admitted she knew the cards were stolen. She was arraigned and bond was set at $10,000 Oct. 7. Cline awaits the report of the Grand Jury Oct. 16.
Black is Black and White is White Filmmaker Roman Polanski’s saga is an incriminating story of the thinking of Americans and the values we hold as a nation. Furthermore, the obvious lack of morals is worse in other developed nations around the world. A convicted Roman Polanski pleaded guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977. The details are too gruesome and tragic to repeat. After Polanski’s plea bargain, he fled the United States before his sentencing and has generally avoided any nation that has an extradition treaty with the United States. His arrest in Switzerland set off international protests and rousing support from his Hollywood friends citing his crime as being committed so long ago and inferring no harm had been done. The Los Angeles Times reported, “Jonathan Kuntz, a visiting professor in UCLA’s Cinema and Media Studies school, said the local reaction may be a version of the “there, but for the grace of God, go I.” “I think that there are a lot of folks in Hollywood in the late ’60s and ’70s who may have done a lot of things they weren’t really proud of, and may have been participating in very similar things.” Unfortunately, this sort of reasoning is not isolated to Hollywood but is true among political, sports and other celebrities and extends even to the high schools where the “star” is often held to a different set of standards than the “average” athlete. The Bible however, is clear on these matters. Romans 2:11-12 says, “For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;” You may recall another incident from 1977 headlines when during Lou Holtz’s first season at Arkansas, he found he had to make a hard choice. Arkansas’ star running back, their top receiver, and another player were involved in an incident with a woman in a players’ dorm. Coach Holtz, a disciplinarian, was known to insist that his players perform well on the field and behave off of it. When Holtz confirmed the story, he suspended all three star players for the Razorbacks’ Orange Bowl clash with number two ranked Oklahoma. While this was a victory for team discipline, it seemed losing the offense’s two biggest weapons would kill the Razorbacks’ Orange Bowl chances against the mighty Sooners! But no! Backup running back Roland Sales had a 205-yard, two-touchdown game, and the sixth-ranked Arkansas squad crushed number-two Oklahoma 31-6. When will we learn that the truths of God’s Word really do prove that wrong is wrong and right is right? Black is black and white is white!

Five want to be on Northwest board By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
There are five people vying for three seats on the Northwest Local School District Board of Education in November. Dexter Harold Carpenter, 55, has lived in the community for 12 years. He graduated from Deer Park High School and attended Xavier University. He is the lead custodian at Badin High School. He has Carpenter been the head wrestling coach at Northwest High School for eight years and the head coach for boys and girls tennis for seven years. He was also lead custodian at Northwest High School for six years. Carpenter says he is running for the board because he believes that the more positive and productive the school systems are, the better neighbors are drawn to the community. “I want to be part of the process in which we prepare our young people educationally and socially for their future,” he said. “I believe my spirit for open communication toward the community make me a great candidate.” He says issues facing the district include securing the funding needed to keep the district in a positive direction without stress to the schools and to the community and bringing all kids up to par regardless of where they are economically. “35.7 percent of our community is in an economic crisis,” he said. “If you haven’t had meal cramps, then you don’t realize how hard it is to focus on school work and for parents to help with school.” Carpenter would like to develop a plan to network parents to help other parents who are not able to help their kids with schoolwork through study groups. If elected, he says his goal is to make sure that the entire district is on the same page and going in the same
direction to create a positive atmosphere for all kids in the district to be productive. “I have the positive spirit, strong universal communication as well as the integrity to be the eyes, ears and voice for everyone in the district. I believe in the community as a whole with the entire district working toward unified goals,” he said. “I believe that I will be a great asset for the school board.” David Denny, 48, has lived in the Northwest district for 44 years. He is a management consultant with a degree in organizational psychology and is a Colerain High School alum. He has served on the district budget committee, alternative schools committee and the Colerain High School Boosters Denny Executive Committee. He is an assistant Colerain High School cross country coach and all three of his children attend or have graduated from district schools. He has also worked on numerous levy campaigns. Denny says he is running for the board because he believes a good education is something to be valued by a community. He says he has worked with a number of organizations throughout Greater Cincinnati in a strategic or tactical way to move their organizations forward. “I am candid and respectful, a good listener, and am open to ideas that will help our children grow in their educational opportunities,” he said. He says money is always an issue for school districts. “Whether it’s unfunded mandates by the Federal or state government, declining revenue from the state, to an expiring levy, the financial pressures are constant. There are lots of needs but a finite pool of money. We need to continue to be diligent and creative in looking for alternative sources of resources to provide excellent education for less.” He also thinks declining
enrollment poses a number of challenges for the district as well as our community. He said a continued decline in enrollment potentially means more consolidation. I believe we need to grow and attract more young families to our community; that starts with providing great education. If elected, he would pursue a continued excellent rating for the district, explore finding alternative funding sources for programs or needs, creating better relationship with the townships and creating an environment within the district that we can have open, honest dialog to overcome challenges together. “I will represent the citizens and school children objectively and honestly, with no hidden agenda and preconceived notion of the best answers,” he said. Pam Detzel , 48, has lived is the community for 42 years and is a graduate of Northwest High School. She is co-owner and an agent of the Detzel Insurance Agency. She is completing her 12th year on the Northwest school board, currently serving as vice president, is the s t u d e n t achievement liaison and is a member of the Dis- Detzel trict Leadership Team. She has served on every school levy committee for the past 13 years. All three of her children and her husband are graduates of Northwest schools. Detzel says she is running now for the same reasons she ran 12 years ago. She believes all students deserve a quality education. “I believe communication is key to the success of any organization. I am a very good listener and also encourage the community to attend the board meetings,” she said. She says school funding is the most critical issue facing the district. “The uncertainty of the state budget and the increasing number of state mandates makes it very difficult to create an accurate
budget,” she said. “We must continue to find innovative ways to support both our students and teachers in the classroom. Maintaining our Excellent rating is another important issue. As we face the difficult decision of budget cuts, it is my goal to keep those cuts as far away for the classroom as possible.” Detzel says she wants the district to continuing achieving an Excellent rating on the state report card. She says supporting teachers in the classroom with the resources they need to ensure all students are successful is important. She would also like to see the district and neighboring trustees work closer together. “I believe we all want the same thing,” she said. “A safe and prosperous community to live in, we can’t have that without a strong school system.” She hopes voters will look at her record. “I believe I have shown over the last 12 years that every decision I make is based on what is best for all students” she said. “I am committed to this district. I was as a student and have continued to be my entire adult life.” Elaine Gauck, 63, is a life-long resident of the Northwest district. She graduated from Colerain High School and is manager, secretary and treasurer of Lake Terrace Park Inc. and operates the Galbraith Food Mart. H e r Gauck involvement with the district includes several positions on various PTA boards for 14 years and she served as a room mother for both of her children and some nieces. She is also the chairwoman of the Scholarship Committee that gives scholarships through the Colerain Township Business Association. She says she is running for the board because she believes she could make a difference. “Presently, I am managing two businesses for my

family,” she said. “In private business, you must work within your existing revenues and I have kept both businesses growing, even considering the current economy.” She says the biggest issues facing the district are finding money to support the schools without raising property taxes and showing transparency so that the taxpayers know that the board is being good stewards of their money. “I will accomplish these goals by exploring how other public entities get their funding and determine how the district might adopt some of these ideas,” she said. “I will show transparency by using technology to put our financials on the district Web site.” If elected, Gauck says she will focus on finding some way that the board can get more money for the school district without increasing property taxes. “I feel that we should go after the lottery money that we are entitled to,” she said. “ I believe that we need to get them (our state representatives) to understand that they were elected to take care of their constituent’s needs and concerns.” She says voters should support her because she is a fiscal conservative and will try to find ways for the schools to live within their budget. “With the way our current economy is, and will probably be for a while, we need to keep spending increases below the level of inflation,” she said. Fred Hunt , 45, has lived in the community for 15 years. He has a degree in business administration from Ohio State University, and is a certified project management profes- Hunt sional. He is a project management office manager. He has earned master board member certification from the Ohio School Boards Association

Hunt has also been elected to, and served on, the OSBA Southwest Region Executive Committee for the past two years. Hunt has served on the board since November 2004, and says his service has been one of the most rewarding experiences of his life. He has also served as student achievement liaison, vice president and is in his second year as president. He says he is running because the board is in the midst of some significant long-range planning. “I believe it is important to remain involved in this planning due to the time I have invested studying education issues in general and our district in particular.” Hunt says his work with OSBA has given him the opportunity to advocate for the district at regional and state levels. Hunt says an issue the district must address is the gaps in achievement between subgroups of students in the district. “We have been closing those gaps, but continuing to improve in this area is critical to ensuring success for all students,” he said. We need to continue to evaluate and improve our intervention strategies.” He says balancing financial concerns is an also ongoing board responsibility and challenge. “As a board member, I will continue to carefully evaluate facility needs, funding cuts, unfunded mandates and community concerns to make decisions that can maximize our student achievement,” he said. If elected, Hunt says he hopes the district will continue to improve the ratings for all of the schools and ultimately earn an Excellent with Distinction rating. “I believe my experience as a board member is my strongest qualification,” he said.
Mt. Healthy levy back to voters By Jennie Key jkey@communitypress.com
A request from Mount Healthy City Schools for a levy renewal in November faces some major challenges: a difficult economy, other levy requests on the ballot and voter confusion about a bond levy passed in 2007. The school district is asking voters to renew a 1.39mill levy that generates $500,000 annually for the district. The issue was originally passed in 1982, and has been renewed every five years since. Since it is a renewal, it does not raise taxes. Voters rejected the levy Aug. 4, with 988 or 52 percent voting no and 910 or 48 percent voting yes. Mount Healthy City School District Superintendent David Horine says the district needs that $500,000

Mount Healthy Treasurer Rebecca Brooks says the cost of the levy to the owner of a $100,000 house remains $40 annually. Horine says the levy is not connected to construction of the new buildings, which is being paid for by state grant money and a bond issue passed in 2007. He said some voters seem to think the levy money is needed because of the construction. “Not true,” he said. “This is a renewal for operating expenses only. We have managed the bond money very carefully and those
projects are at or under budget.” Construction funds cannot be used for operating expenses. Horine says information is being sent to voters about the levy – not at taxpayer expense – to explain the financial situation and try to clarify the issue for voters. Horine said the board has not identified where the cuts would be made, but did say the district has made a number of significant cuts in the past five years. He said the district is solvent through the 200910 school year, but the loss of funding would make cuts necessary in the spring for the following school year. “We have to come back every five years and ask for this money again,” he said. “It’s not a raise. It’s a renewal. It doesn’t raise taxes. But we need those funds or we will have to make cuts. It’s that simple.”

ranked season with a weekseven win over the Lancers, 24-7. La Salle, ranked No. 9 in Cincinnati’s Division I poll, fell to 4-3 with the loss. “We were right there but we just made some crucial mistakes. It could have been 10-10 at halftime,” Grippa said of the loss to St. Xavier. “We wanted to throw a little more but the rain held us up.” The Bombers intercepted three passes from LaSalle quarterback Andrew Kummer in the first half to help take control in the game. St. Xavier scored first on an 18-yard touchdown run from Tanner Vidal with 1:50 left in the first quarter to take a 7-0 lead. LaSalle quickly responded with a touchdown though it proved to be the Lancers’ only points of the night. Kummer scored on a one-yard touchdown run to even the score at 7-7 with 9:59 left in the second quarter. By halftime, St. Xavier had extended its lead to 177 with a touchdown and a field goal in the second quarter. “We had 15 first downs to their 18. We were right there with them,” Grippa said. “The kids are giving 110-percent and I am really proud of them.” St. Xavier’s Will Carroll added another score for St. Xavier with nine-yard touchdown reception from Luke Massa to extend the Bombers’ lead, 24-7, with 6:58 left in the third. Kummer led LaSalle with 53 yards rushing and a touchdown on 11 carries. He was also 17-of-33 passing with three interceptions.

Williams carried eight times on the night for 110 yards – an average of 13.8 yards per carry – while Tabar led all Colerain rushers in attempts (14) and yards (119). The defense, which posted its second shutout of the year, was led by Joe Bolden and David Moore. The duo

week after they graduated from Taylor High School in 1982, were heavily involved in sports during their days as Yellow Jackets. Just how heavily? Shawn played football and basketball, ran cross country and dabbled in baseball and diving; Quana, meanwhile, was a cheerleader and played tennis. So it’s only natural that their children – Hannah, a junior at Colerain High School, and Hayley, a seventh-grader at Colerain Middle School – inherited the sport gene. “We’re very blessed that the girls have been able to excel in just about everything,” Shawn said. There’s no denying that. Take Hannah. A former gymnast, she achieved level-eight status by the eighth grade – level 10 is considered collegiate level – and was given a choice: Continue with gymnastics full-time and strongly consider being homeschooled, or give up gymnastics in order to pursue high school sports. For Hannah, whose best event was the vault, the answer was obvious. “She wanted to play high school sports,” Shawn said. It’s a decision for which the Colerain faithful are grateful.
Hannah, 16, played JV softball part of her freshman year before being called up – literally, at a Cracker Barrel – to varsity. “That was awesome,” she said. “It was kind of scary, but I was just really excited.” As a sophomore, Hannah broke her right elbow while sliding into second base the first game of the season. But she missed only five games – “Colerain has very good athletic trainers,” Quana said – and was the starting second-baseman on a team that advanced to the state semi-finals for the first time in school history. “It was really fun because I was the baby on the team,” said Hannah, who was the only sophomore on the squad. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, their dreams of a state title fell short, as they lost 3-0 to Hudson in the semi-finals. “We still talk about it,” Hannah said. “It was awesome that we got that far, but we were upset because we had to say good-bye to the seniors.” Still, it’s an experience Hannah is happy to have been a part of. “I gained a lot of friendships,” she said. “And I talk to Coach (Susan) Dayton every day.” Hannah has also excelled on the court – in both basketball and tennis. She played JV basketball as a freshman and sophomore and started every game at shooting guard last season.

The Curtis family are, from left, Shawn, Hannah, Hayley and Quana. In tennis, she and former first doubles’ partner Caitlin McBee went 15-9 in 2008, coming within one victory of the all-time, single-season record for wins at Colerain. Needless to say, Hannah doesn’t regret leaving gymnastics behind. “She’s met so many people through high school sports,” Quana said. And then there’s Hayley. Also a former gymnast, she was a member of the EMR (Equipment, Maintenance & Repair) softball team that won the USSSA World Series in Walt Disney, Fla., this past July. Based in Aurora, Ind., EMR won the Indiana state championship to qualify for the World Series, where the team went 11-1 and defeated a squad from North Carolina in the final. “It was really fun,” said Hayley, 12. “I was really happy we won.” A left-fielder, Hayley made a two-out, basesloaded diving catch in the World Series for a team that went 81-7 this year and at one point won 35 straight games.

wood. As a fifth-grader at St. John’s Dry Ridge – where she attended until this year – Hayley’s basketball team, which Shawn coached, scored 560 points in 10 games. But make no mistake. For all of their accomplishments in tennis, basketball and gymnastics, both Hannah and Hayley cite softball as their primary passion and hope to play the sport in college – and they have the passion to make it happen. “We always taught both kids that you can win, and that you should go into every competition expecting to win,” Shawn said. “Now, winning isn’t everything, but we’re proud that they both show up to win and get after it.” The girls, however, have one regret – albeit one out of their control. “Hannah wishes Hayley was one year older,” said Quana, who is in her 24th year of teaching at Ross High School. “Then there’d be a chance that they could be varsity teammates in high school.” But alas, Hayley will be a freshman at Colerain the year after Hannah graduates. Still, both sisters look forward to their future involvement in athletics and are grateful to their parents for all that they have done. “They set a good example for us,” Hannah said. “We want to follow in their footsteps.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Hunt for school board
We are writing to show our support for Fred Hunt for re-election to the Northwest school board. We have always felt that it is important for members of the school board to be knowledgeable of the needs of the entire district and its families. Fred lives in the Pleasant Run Community, we are in Monfort Heights, and he has been active in all schools that our children attend. Fred has been to carnivals, plays, concerts, PTA meetings and sporting events in all of the schools. It takes a dedicated person to make sure that he knows the entire district and its needs. We truly appreciate the time that Fred has put in. Fred has served on the school board for the past five years and for the last two years as president. This year the Northwest district received an excellent rating from the state of Ohio. This is quite an achievement and the support and leadership that the district has received from the school board has been fantastic. We know that Fred cares about this district, its families, and the administrators and staff. That is why we will vote for Fred Hunt for the Northwest school board. Mark and Theresa Strong Timberchase Court Monfort Heights
CCA thanks donors
The Colerain Community Association thanks those businesses that donated products which we sold at the Colerain Fire Department Fire Expo on Oct. 4. This fundraiser enables the CCA to pay for the materials used in the landscaped beds at the major interchanges within the township. Thanks donors: Stehlin & Sons Meats, Butternut-Hostess, Groesbeck BP Oil, Kroger Mount Airy, Kroger Northgate, Meijer and WalMart – Colerain Towne Center. A special “thank you” goes to the Colerain Fire Department for inviting the CCA to participate. Ken Lohr President, Colerain Community Association Pebbleknoll Drive Colerain Township

I gained a solid understanding of the complexities and problems of administering the largest township in the state of Ohio. And very difficult decisions were made harder by the negative influenced partisanship – not the traditional American concept of loyal opposition, but the vitriolic type of partisanship which severely criticizes everything elected officials do simply because they are from the other faction and fails to give any cooperation or offer any other solutions. A few years after my term I became impressed that the best board of trustees ever to serve Colerain Township was that consisting of Keith Miller, a Republican, Joe Wolterman, a Democrat, and Tom Hart, an independent. At a time of great flux in this large urban township, when the needs of the people and the services needed to be provided were growing exponentially and outstripping Colerain’s budget, these three men set politics aside and worked together to solve problems. Much of what is right with Colerain Township now is a direct result of the cooperative spirit and efforts of those three outstanding public servants. Unfortunately the negative partisanship has returned but there is hope. Two years ago Joe Wolterman was returned and now we have the chance to bring back Tom Hart to restore a cooperative majority and I strongly endorse his election. Ronald C. Harris Thompson Road Colerain Township
Vote no on library issue
It is unconscionable that the Cincinnati library wants Hamilton County homeowners to pay higher taxes so the library can continue their spending-as-usual big budget. Many families are suffer-
ing from unemployment. Will families be forced to choose between new tires or paying library taxes? Last year, 5 million videos were borrowed from the Cincinnati library. The library should stop offering videos. Northgate’s movie theater closed with local schools and government no longer receiving their tax payments. Why would anyone pay to go to a movie or rent one when library branches offer free movies at taxpayers’ expense? The library should charge all nonresidents $25 per year for library cards. Hamilton County homeowners should not pay taxes to provide free Cincinnati library access for Indiana and Kentucky residents. The library board built large, central branches. Now is the time to close smaller branches that are cramped, underused, and expensive to heat and cool. The library should consolidate librarian duties rather than having separate adult, teen and children’s librarians. If this Cincinnati library tax is approved, the state will look upon that as support they no longer need to provide. This library levy will set a precedent for everincreasing tax requests. Janet Lockwood Althaus Road Peach Grove
Support Hart
As an ordinary citizen of Colerain Township, I have never been involved in politics, but I want to be involved this year for two reasons: First, our township is at the crossroads of progress, needing a strong trustee with vision to help revitalize our hometown community and, second, I can personally endorse Tom Hart, the candidate who will get the job done with no hidden agenda or party politics.
Ohio allows early voting. Is this a good idea and do you plan to take advantage of the opportunity? Why or why not? “The early vote (Absentee Ballot) is a great option. You get the ballot way ahead of time and can take your time studying the issues and voting at home then mailing it in. There is no driving to a polling place in inclement weather and standing in line. I think more and more people are taking advantage of it. You just go to www.votehamiltoncounty.org/ and select the option for absentee ballot. Some things are a no brainer and this is one for sure. Go figure!” T.D.T. “Regarding early voting, I’m not sure we really need it since we already have the capability of voting via mail-in absentee ballots if for some reason we will be unable to make it to the polls on Election Day. And I’m also not sure it’s a good idea. What if the Packers and Vikings had a chance to rack up points before the actual game? Wouldn’t that be a little silly? Let’s keep the process clean and honest, and have everyone voting at the same time.” B.B.
Pass library levy
For over 60 years I have used the Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County to enhance my educational and recreational reading. Additionally all of my children and grand children have done the same. It would be a terrible shame to lose our libraries due to the lack of funding. Libraries are one of the few public institutions that actually pay us back with its service to us. If the state of Ohio will not support our libraries as they have in the past we must bite the bullet ourselves to insure that this valuable resource remains available for our children. We must pass the library levy. To do otherwise would be negligent. Cheryl Winkler Boomer Road Monfort Heights
Yes on Issue 7
The library is at risk because of funding cuts which will affect the neighborhood libraries through fewer librarians, shorter hours and some closed libraries. Our library is one of the top libraries in the country. Its circulation grew by more than 700,000 to an all-time high of 15.6 million in 2008. The main library was recognized as the busiest library in the country and is one of the top
This week’s question Should the federal government’s incentive program for new home buyers be extended? 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@communitypress.com with “chatroom” in the subject line. “I think it is a good idea because it opens up the opportunity for all eligible voters to take part. I will vote on Election Day, but my husband received an absentee ballot and mailed it in yesterday because he works out of town. What I am wondering is what happens to those ballots once they are received at the Board of Elections office? Are they counted right away or are they locked up in a designated storage room until Nov. 3?” C.P. “I won’t be voting early – many of the candidates are just starting to coalesce their message and platforms; too soon to make choices. And no need to rush into those decisions.” J.B.
Mediation is a process in which a neutral third party (the mediator) helps parties negotiate a mutually acceptable settlement to their dispute. The mediator gives each party an opportunity to present his or her side of the dispute. The mediator facilitates the negotiation process but does not impose settlements, issue orders or make judgments. The Private Complaint Mediation Service is funded and administered by the Hamilton County Municipal Court. PCMS is in downtown Cincinnati at 230 E. Ninth St. near the county courthouse. A municipal court judge has the authority to refer a misdemeanor criminal case to PCMS for mediation. The focus of the case is resolution, not determining guilt or innocence. If the parties reach a settlement, the criminal complaint is withdrawn. In most cases, the parties spell out the conditions of the settlement. If one of the parties fails to keep the terms of the settlement, the other party may report that breach to PCMS. Then a prosecutor reviews the alleged breach and may authorize a formal criminal complaint. So far this year, 84 percent of the criminal misdemeanor cases referred were successfully mediated. If the parties are unsuccessful at

10 in the country. Many young adults use the library to do job searches, print resumes and do research for homework. Children and adults are able to experience many great programs that are offered. The library has an answer to the money issue. On Nov. 3, a bond issue will be on the ballot, a first for the library. The cost for a homeowner of a $100,000 home will be just $30. This is a bargain because if you would rent newly released movies at a video store it would cost $6 per movie, renting one a month it would be $72 per year. Just one book would cost up to $12. I would like citizens of Hamilton County to support the library. On Nov. 3, the library wants you to vote yes on Issue 7. Jordan Bock Boomer Road Green Township
Library levy is a bargain Steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, believing that wealth should be used for the public good, invested $65 million in public libraries. Your library is asking much less of you: a tax levy that will add under $30 a year to a tax bill on a house tax-assessed at $100,000. In its 150-year history, it has never had a nickel of local support, unlike every other Ohio library. But state funding – 90 percent of its income – has dropped by 28 percent since 2000, causing cuts in staff and the hours of operation. By the end of next year the system will be $16 million in the hole unless voters pass Issue 7. What you will get for your money is the survival of a library system top-rated nationally. Andrew Carnegie could not have imagined the range of services our library offers. He would be astonished by the Web site. (If you have never visited it, check it out at www.cincinnatilibrary.org.) So ask yourself how much you might spend in a year to rent movies, buy books or treat yourself to any of the library’s other offerings. If it comes to less than $30, a vote for Issue 7 is just good economics. Carol Luebering Regency Ridge Green Township
Use mediation to settle dispute
CH@TROOM Last week’s question
I have known Tom Hart for 33 years as a neighbor, friend and client of his CPA firm. I have watched him work hard to enhance life if Colerain for his family and the rest of us. I know him as a volunteer, working to promote the business community, helping local students, improving the safety of our roads and helping develop opportunities for family fun. Tom is a bottom-line type of guy. He knows how to get the value out of a dollar, listen to his fellow citizens’ concerns, make plans to solve the problem and then work hard to get the job done. This year I know a candidate whose only concern is to work for a better Colerain Township and I am proud to suggest that my Colerain neighbors vote for Tom Hart for Colerain Township trustee.

mediation, the case is referred back to municipal court for resumption of the criminal prosecution. Mediation has several advantages over criminal prosecution. Both parties are given the opportunity to discuss the dispute and possible Judge Brad settlements. Hearings are Greenberg scheduled at the convenience of the complainant. Community Settlement frequently Press guest involves a return of property columnist or other restitution whereas a court can only impose such penalties after a conviction. In certain cases, I will suggest mediation to the parties, but I will refer the case to PCMS only if both parties agree to participate. In my experience, mediation works best for cases between neighbors, co-workers and former friends. People who will come into contact again in the future are more likely to resolve the matter if they can negotiate a satisfactory settlement. Judge Brad Greenberg presides in Hamilton County Municipal Court.

Thoughts about an unwelcome topic Some of us may turn the page when we see what this column’s about. It’s about death. And to us page-turners, Col. Nathan Jessep (Jack Nicholson), might angrily blurt out as he did in the movie, “A Few Good Men,” “You can’t handle the truth!” He could say that to many of us because our culture is the most death-denying that’s ever existed. Dr. Irvin D. Yalom points out in “Staring at the Sun” how our anxiety about dying varies throughout our life cycle. Even as young children we harbored a certain angst about death and the possible losses it would entail. From about six to puberty, death anxiety ordinarily goes underground and returns more forcefully during adolescence. Teenagers can become preoccupied
with death. Many teens try to soothe their anxiety by seeing themselves as masters of life and dispensers of death in violent video games or watching horror films. Others defy death by taking daredevil risks, driving recklessly, bingeing or engaging in extreme sports. Their conclusion: “See, I’m invulnerable!” Ordinarily, death anxiety subsides as we concentrate on pursuing a career and beginning a family. Then midlife occurs. The kids leave home, retirement looms and death anxiety returns. From then on, concerns about death are never completely gone from our minds – though we try so desperately to ignore them. Awareness of our mortality is not necessarily the same as the fear of mortality. The difference
much shorter lives of those who lived in ancient Greece; or two times more happy than those who lived just a century ago? Will those who live longer in this present century live better lives, and how do we define “better” – just by living longer? Gold and diamonds are precious because of their limitedness. Each of our days and years are precious because they are limited. A hiding from the reality of death is a denial of one’s basic nature. The integration of the idea of death, rather than sentence us to a bleak pessimism, can act as a catalyst to plunge us into more authentic ways of living. We will prize depth over abundance; wisdom over knowledge; humility over arrogance; growth over comfort; meaning over shallowness; a
depends on our neuroses as well as our spiritual and psychological health. An authentic religious faith plays an ever-increasing role in our dealings with death as it has for people throughout the centuries. It’s understandable that today, as our faith diminishes, we have an almost obsessive concern with lengthening life and staving off death. Yet, as Dr. James Hollis writes in “What Matters Most,” “All of our instrumentalities, our wondrous medical armamentaria, only extend our stay a few years at best. …We are living longer and longer as a species, but in service to what?” How is it that a person might achieve what he or she wants in life and still feel miserable? Are our lives four times more happy and meaningful that the

Love can give meaning to an entire lifetime. Love goes on forever. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

‘Income’ eats away at Social Security disability checks Security disability back in 2002, and didn’t get approved u n t i l 2007. Howard Ain me“It5 took 1/2 Hey Howard! years to g e t approval, jumping through their hoops to do whatever they wanted me to do. I had been denied twice,” she said. When Hurst finally got approved, she learned Social Security would give her benefits going back five years. “I found out you’ll receive back pay in a few increments the first year, but they won’t
give you the rest for another year,” she said. What happened next was the biggest surprise for Hurst, who has been living with her boyfriend, Cecil, for many years. “They said that food and shelter in someone else’s house is considered an income – so they took the difference of that,” she said. Hurst counted up all the money the Social Security Administration took out for food and shelter each month from 2002 to 2008, and it came to more than $13,000. This is money neither she nor Cecil will receive. Hurst said, “I asked, ‘Well, if you’re going to take the money from me, why
don’t you give it to Cecil who has been taking care of me all these years?’ She said, ‘Well, he should have been keeping receipts.’ I wasn’t told about that.” Hurst said she’s learned a valuable lesson. “I had the wrong attorney. I should have worked with a disability attorney who knew the ups and downs,” she said. So, if you’re thinking about applying for such benefits you should first know it can take months, even years, to get approved – and you may have to go through several appeals. You certainly should hire an attorney who focuses on this type of law. To avoid losing back pay
for food and shelter, write out a loan agreement with the people with whom you’re living. State in the agreement should benefits be awarded you will repay them for their expenses – and state an estimate of that value. Unfortunately, Hurst had no such agreement so it’s too late for her. But she said
now, after telling her story, at least everyone else will know what to do.

The recession is expected to add more people to the Social Security rolls – so many, in fact, that the government said it will pay out more benefits than it will collect in taxes the next two years. Social Security disability claims have jumped nearly 20 percent since the recession began. It seems a lot of people who had been working despite their disabilities are now applying for Social Security Disability benefits after losing their jobs. If you find yourself in this situation, you have to be very careful to avoid losing benefits unnecessarily. Cynthia Hurst of Blanchester applied for Social

Co-workers beg him for this apple cake
Talk about a busy couple of weeks. Just check out my “Out & About” info below. I really love connecting with my family of Press readers like this. And you know what the common thread is that runs through every presentation/class I teach? It’s not just about the food, but who shares it with you, and the most important things in life aren’t “things.” That philosophy is represented well in our first recipe.
Aunt Ruth’s apple cake
You have to try this. From friend and awesome singer Linda Dollenmeyer. Here’s her story: “My Aunt Ruth in North Carolina is one of the best cooks I have ever known. In her 80s she lives alone, is active in her church and sings with a group that visits nursing homes. “Going to her house was, and is, like going to the best bed and breakfast. This
c a k e recipe is to die for. She makes it for my cousin Randy to take to work. His Rita c o - w o r k Heikenfeld ers always want to Rita’s kitchen k n o w when he is bringing it again.” By the way, when a recipe says to “cream” you want to beat it really well and it will start to look a bit creamy. This cake reminds me of one my sister, Judy Nader, an Eastern Hills Journal reader, used to make for our Mom during apple season. Everyone looked forward to it!
Cream together:
1 cup vegetable (Canola, etc.) 2 cups sugar
Add:
2 eggs, beaten 3 cups chopped fresh apples 1 cup chopped nuts 2 teaspoons vanilla.
Sift together:
3 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt
Add to creamed mixture. Bake in sprayed 9-by-13 pan in 350-degree oven for 45 minutes.
Icing – Yum!! Cream together:
1/2 cup butter 1/4 cup evaporated milk 1 cup brown sugar
Melt on low heat and bring to a boil.
Add: oil
2 cups confectioner’s sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla Pour onto cake while cake is still warm.
Preserving herbs the ‘green’ way
I’ve had a few requests for how to dry herbs the old-fashioned way, now touted as being the “green” way. Here’s how I do it: Except for lavender (the flower buds contain the most flavor and fragrance), I like to use the leafy portion of the herbs – the flavor of herbs is best right when the plant is beginning to form buds, but most of the time, I harvest whenever I can. Sometimes it’s at this stage, other times the herbs are in full flower. And remember, the flowers of culinary herbs are edible, so if you want to dry them, that’s OK.
Traditional bunching of whole plant:
Most herbs dry nicely by these traditional methods. Strip an inch or so from the bottom of the stem and hang upside down secured with a rubber band or string away from heat, light and
moisture (or hang upside down in paper bag). You can also place the leaves in single layers in a basket, on a cloth or screen. When they crinkle between your fingers, they’re dry. Strip leaves from stems and leave whole if possible. Volatile oils stay intact until you crush them for cooking. Store away from heat and light. To use dry herbs in place of fresh, use l/3 of the amount called for, since dry herbs are stronger.
Tips from Rita’s garden
Herbs hung in bunches, dried naturally usually turn a grayish green. To keep a brighter color, you can chop up the herbs coarsely, lay them on screens or a towel, and let them dry. They will dry faster and retain a nicer color.

Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has

This one just happens to be about 80 plus national and regional authors and the organizers and sponsors who brought them together to participate in the third annual Books by the Banks: Cincinnati USA Book Festival. The all-day event is set for Saturday, Oct. 17 at the Duke Energy Convention Center downtown. To get a good read on this year’s book festival, one need only look at what makes it so “novel.” There’s no charge to get in, yet, nowhere else in the region will book lovers find so many noteworthy authors all in one place, all on the same day. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., attendees can have their favorite books signed from their choice of 80 plus wellknown writers and illustrators in the large author pavilion. They can also take in fascinating author panel discussions featuring topics like sports, local history, cooking (demos), and music (as well as the chance to hear their favorite authors speak about their works) in the adjoining meeting rooms. Families can enjoy activities including visits with costumed storybook characters, children’s author readings, music, and fun crafts in the Target Kids’ Corner.

Ravenwood offers popular “murder mystery” weekends and also plans “medieval dinners”, getaway workshops, and other special events.
