Day at Coney set for mid-July By Kurt Backscheider

kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Price Hill residents are once again encouraged to take part in a neighborhood tradition that began more than 90 years ago. The annual Price Hill Day at Coney Island is set for Wednesday, July 15. Price Hill Day started in 1915 with the Price Hill Civic and Businessman’s Club, now known as the Civic Club. More than 22,000 Price Hill residents trekked to Coney in that first year. While residents may not swarm the amusement park in the tens of thousands, hundreds are still expected to spend the day swimming in Sunlite Pool, riding rides and picnicking with their families under the Shooting Star pavilion. “It’s an opportunity for the kids to enjoy themselves,” said Price Hill Historical Society member Richard Jones. “Last year I took all five of my grandkids. It’s like a big family picnic.” The historical society took over sponsoring the event in the late 1990s. Price Hill Day was held at Stricker’s Grove for several years, but the society moved it back to Coney Island in 2000.

“We brought the tradition back to Coney,” said Betty Wagner, the group’s treasurer. “Each year the event increases in attendance numbers.” “Coney Island is really generous to our neighborhood. I think they give us the best deal,” she said. Wagner said society members are starting to post signs around the neighborhood and deliver flyers to local businesses to promote the event. Advanced tickets, which include parking, swimming and the rides, are $12 per person for those ages 4 and older, and $3.50 for children ages 2 and 3. Regular admission at the gate is $21.95 per person, plus parking. Tickets can be purchased in cash on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at the historical society, 3640 Warsaw Ave. Warsaw Federal Savings and Loan, 3533 Warsaw Ave., and Radel Funeral Home, 650 Neeb Road, are also selling tickets. For more information, call the historical society at 251-2888.

Patrol honored for 10 years of service By Kurt Backscheider

Award recipients

William Bailey said he is pleased he’s had the opportunity to work with his neighbors to make improvements in the community for the past 10 years. Over the past decade the Price Hill resident, who serves as the civilian coordinator of the Price Hill Citizens on Patrol, has put in a lot of time volunteering in his neighborhood – 5,500 hours worth. Bailey was one of seven Price Hill Citizens on Patrol members who were honored with the President’s Volunteer Service Award during a dinner recognizing the group’s 10th anniversary, which took place at the LaRosa’s on Boudinot Tuesday, June 16. He said the presidential award was established in 2003 to honor those who have met or exceeded requirements for volunteer service and have demonstrated exemplary citizenship through volunteering. “America’s volunteers work to make our communities stronger and safer,” he said. “The Price Hill Citizens on Patrol is proud to be aligned with this prestigious volunteer award.” Bailey said the residents who have volunteered with the patrol unit during the past 10 years have worked closely with police officers from District 3, assisting them with curfew sweeps, identifying drug deals, appearing in court as witnesses and serving officers dinner every Christmas Eve. Cincinnati Police Capt. Andrew Raabe, the former District 3 commander, said he and his officers always gave patrol members their full support because the volunteers put themselves at risk just as much as officers to protect their neighborhood and they aren’t paid a cent to do it. “This unit is where the rubber meets the road,” Raabe said. “It’s

Kim Frey, the current District 3 commander, said she looks forward to working with the Citizens on Patrol for another 10 years. She said the district is also

looking into splitting the Price Hill unit into two units – one for East Price Hill and one for West Price Hill, and build upon the strengths the unit has already developed. “Citizens on Patrol has been a great tool and they’ve been instrumental in doing a lot of things for District 3,” Frey said.

The members of the Price Hill Citizens on Patrol who were honored with the President’s Volunteer Service Award during the unit’s 10th anniversary celebration include the following individuals: • William Bailey – President’s Call to Service Award for performing 5,500 lifetime volunteer hours; and the President’s Volunteer Gold Service Award for performing 514 hours in 2008. • Ken Rothman – President’s Call to Service Award for performing 4,020 lifetime volunteer hours. • Ron Peacock – President’s Volunteer Bronze Service Award for performing 160 hours in 2008. • Glenda Egloff – President’s Volunteer Bronze Service Award for performing 136 hours in 2008. • Barbra Lawson – President’s Volunteer Bronze Service Award for performing 209 hours in 2008. • Mary Barnett – President’s Volunteer Bronze Service Award for performing 165 hours in 2008. • David Warnica – President’s Volunteer Bronze Service Award for performing 110 hours in 2008. Each person also received letters from President Barack Obama and Jean Case, chair of the President’s Council on Service & Civic Participation. For more information about volunteering with the Price Hill Citizens on Patrol, contact Mary Barnett at PriceHillCOP@aol.com. “I’m looking forward to the next 10 years. It’s going to be great.” Bailey said the unit will certainly continue volunteering to promote safety in Price Hill. “Each volunteer hour contributed makes a difference in improving the quality of life for others, and I encourage everyone to contribute to our community by volunteering,” he said. “Through their commitment, volunteers bring us closer together as families, as a community and as a nation.”

Junior carriers in business for themselves ers the Western Hills Press to his neighbors. Seiler, 15, has been a junior newspaper carrier for The Community Press for two years.

JORDAN KELLOGG/STAFF

Nick Seiler delivers the Western Hills Press in his neighborhood. He said he enjoys being outside and meeting his neighbors.

“It’s one of the bigger parts that I like about it because I can earn my own money,” he said. Seiler is one of about 890 junior carriers who deliver The Community Press newspapers to residents of the west side of Cincinnati every week. There are also 1,560 junior carriers who deliver Community Press and Community Recorder newspapers to residents of the east side of Hamilton County and Northern Kentucky. The Community Press and Recorder is currently recruiting carriers for the program. “Junior carriers are vital to the success of our newspapers,” said Circulation Manager Sharon Schachleiter. “The newspaper represents the combined effort of many people and thousands of dollars to produce, but none of that matters until the carrier has delivered it to the customer.” Each week, the carriers receive stacks of papers that they’re responsible for stuffing into bags. They then hit the streets in their communities to deliver the bundles. Once a month, carriers ask their customers for

$2.50 for the service they’ve received. Carriers earn 50 percent of the collections, as well as tips, and are eligible for bonus points based on how many collections they achieve over their goal. The bonus points are redeemed for gift certificates to local stores and attractions like Kings Island and The Beach. “Junior carriers are in business for themselves, a business where dozens of people rely on them to get out important information from their communities” said Schachleiter. “Carriers learn some valuable business skills that help them gain experience for their future such as responsibility, public relation skills, salesmanship, dependability, and money management.” For Seiler, who picked up the route from his older brother, it’s also about getting out and meeting people. “You get to be outside, walk around a bit meeting people, your neighbors, getting to know them better,” he said. “It’s fun.” For more information about the program, call 853-6277.

Evan Hildebrandt and Alison Shepard are scouting for additional Sayler Park sites to enhance with their art after finishing a mural on the building behind them.

Artists put history on display By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

A bit of Sayler Park history can be seen on a building at Gracely and Twain avenues. Village artists Evan Hildebrandt and Alison Shepard collaborated on the works of art. He did the center river scene depicting a winding Ohio along the village banks. Shepard’s assignment was more personal. One of the two portraits – Dr. William Nast Gracely – is her great-grandfather. “He was a general practitioner and delivered thousands of babies during his time,” Shepard said. “His home and office was up the street and he died poor. “He would take things like potatoes in payment for his services.” The other portrait is of Nelson Sayler, so well

known for community involvement, especially in the arts, that the early settlers named the village after him. It’s fitting, the couple said, that the portraits are on the wall of what is now the Sayler Parks Arts Center. Shepard is one of several artists renting studio space in the 1912 brick building that once housed Dan’s Dry Goods and a Masonic lodge. A village arts council was formed more than a year ago and Shepard is the vice president and her next-door neighbor Lori Morrison, the president. The couple said the dream is to convert the front of the building along Gracely Avenue into a coffee shop. While they help to nudge that dream along, Shepard and Hildebrandt are going back to the business of trying to secure another grant for additional murals around the village. The village received a $2,000 grant from the Cincinnati Arts Council and raised another $2,000 to complete what they’re hoping is the first of several murals. The funding also was used to buy and decorate two benches for the park and six banners hanging along Gracely Avenue. “It’s been a labor of love and we are all so thrilled with the work Alison and Evan and the arts council did,” said Amy Searcy, a member of the village council. “It’s just the beginning.”

Vets can get free tuition at Mount St. Joe The College of Mount St. Joseph will participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program, a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. Beginning Aug. 1, military veterans may be eligible to attend the Mount for free. The Yellow Ribbon Program allows the higher educational institutions to offer veterans the opportunity to obtain a degree at a greatly reduced cost. An institution provides contributions in partnership with the Veteran’s Administration to reduce veteran’s costs. In some cases this will allow veterans to attend college for free. The original GI Bill in 1944 was the gateway for veteran’s upward mobility in society. The Yellow Ribbon Program was modeled on the original bill, offering increased access to private higher education. Veterans who choose to attend the Mount as part of the Yellow Ribbon Program will not pay tuition or fees for undergraduate or master’s degree programs. The cost will be covered

by the Veterans Administration in partnership with the Mount. For this first year of the program, the College has not put a limit on the number of students that will be accepted, however, some graduate programs have limited capacity. An eligible veteran may also choose to assign these benefits to his or her spouse or dependent offspring. “We are very excited about the college’s acceptance into the Yellow Ribbon Program,” said Tony Aretz, president of the College of Mount St. Joseph who is a veteran of the United States Air Force. “The Mount is an institution of exceptional character, a place where veterans will feel welcome and encouraged to share their leadership skills to enrich the campus community. It is a pleasure to offer our services to the men and women who have served our country.” To learn more about the Yellow Ribbon Program at the Mount, visit the Web site at www.msj.edu/veterans, or call the Office of Admission at 244-4538.

Delhi police nab burglary suspect By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com

Howarth said once he was caught, Tucker cooperated with arresting officers Brian Bauer, Paul Neyer and Cpl. Gary Schloemer. “He said this was pretty much his source of income and picked the house because he saw a couple of newspapers in the driveway,” Howarth said.

Henke Wine brings home 10 medals By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Joe Henke goes to great lengths to produce wine that brings out the best flavors of the grapes he uses. His dedication and passion for making wine has paid off. The longtime Westwood resident, who owns Henke Wine in Westwood with his wife, Joan, entered 10 of his wines in the 2009 Ohio Wine Competition and received medals for all 10. “For a small winery, that’s really great,” he said. “It really helps the 10 to 12 hours you work each

day feel worthwhile.” Henke Wine’s 2008 Riesling, a slowly fermented German-style white wine, received the Concordance Gold medal and was named the overall Best of Show at the Ohio competition. Winning awards is nothing new for the west-side vintner. His Norton wine was named the best red wine in Ohio at the 2007 competition, and again in 2008. “Lightning did strike twice,” Henke said. “Our Riesling won Best of Show this year, so to be the best for three years running is a tremendous feat.”

His wines have also won medals at international wine competitions in California, New York and Indiana. Henke said he began making wine in 1973 after his brother-in-law sent him a batch to try on a whim. “It was a hobby that got out of control,” he said. “My love and passion for making wine escalated from there.” He and his wife established the winery commercially in 1996 after years of encouragement from other professional vintners who affirmed he was producing premium wines.

Bowhunters soon will be able to kill whitetail deer in Mount Airy Forest and other Cincinnati parks. Cincinnati City Council voted June 17 to allow the hunting as a way to cull the deer population less expensively than the current way of having police sharpshooters kill the deer. Two councilmembers opposed the idea: Laketa Cole and Roxanne Qualls. Bowhunters, who will be chosen by lottery, will be assigned certain spots and have to pass a shooting skills test as well as have an Ohio hunting license. Cincinnati police sharpshooters have been shooting deer in parks since 2007, but that's expensive, City Manager Milton

Dohoney said in a memo to City Council. There are 98 deer per square mile in Cincinnati parks, Dohoney says – many more than the 17 recommended by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Residents who live near Mount Airy Forest have complained about deer coming into their yards and

destroying landscaping. Officials say having too many deer in parks can eventually destroy the parks' foliage. Approved hunters would have to have passed a state hunter education course, be licensed to hunt in Ohio, attend a park board orientation course and pass a park board shooting qualifications test. Approved

hunters, chosen through a lottery system, would be assigned specific locations where they could shoot. The only animal to be hunted would be whitetail deer. Hunters could take as many deer as allowed by state regulations. The park board has approved the change. The city still prohibits discharging a firearm in a city park.

Holy Family School students getting ready to ride at Camp Kern are, from left, Frances Dudley, Rosie Morena, Katie Westheider, Katelyn Schrieber, Michelle Perry, Megan Horne, Kaytlin Gessendorf and Brittany Manning

Holy Family students combine learning with fun Every other spring, fifth- and sixth-grade students from Holy Family spend three days at Camp Kern gathering new experiences, learning life lessons and having fun. The life lessons really begin in September when Pat McLeary and Bridget McGee, the fifth- and sixth-grade teachers, meet with parents and students to plan funding for the trip. Each student is responsible for earning or budgeting for his/her portion. It becomes a team effort to earn the necessary funds to cover student and chaperone expenses. One of their fundraising options is selling candy bars. Some students in the seventh and eighth grades participate in the candy sale to contribute to help out their younger schoolmates. This year’s trip took place in March. It was chock full of activi-

ties including horseback riding, wall climbing, fossil hunting, hikes and a walk back in time where students encountered an ornery pioneer, a friendly settler, a gentle healer and a stern teacher. On a five-mile hike through the woods in the rain, students said they learned the importance of teamwork as they helped one another navigate the “slippery slopes” of the trail. Holy Family students were eager to tell about their horseback riding experience. Sporting helmets, they waited their turn in line. For most of them, it was their first time ever on horseback. They gave a brief synopsis of horseback riding basics. “Squeezing the horse’s side with your knees and making a “click click” noise out of one side of your mouth will make them go. Pulling gently on the reigns and

saying whoa will make them stop.” When asked what they learned from their horseback riding experience there was a range of responses: • Megan learned that horses are gentle animals. • Katelyn said, “They are free spirited and not afraid.” She learned that sometimes you need to be brave and “go for it!” • Francis compared horseback riding to her relationship with God and life. She said, “First of all, you have to trust the horse, like you have to trust God. “While riding you have to be on the lookout and know when to stop and when to go. Just like in life. You need to be looking around to make sure you are on the right path. If you are, you keep going. If you are not, you have to stop and go in a new direction.”

The 2009 winners of the Henry Clay Beekley, MD, Memorial Scholarship are, from left, Joshua Kaine of Elder High School, Elizabeth Gibbemeyer of Oak Hills High School, Grace Owens of Mother of Mercy High School, and Ricky Watson and Kevin Bisher, both students at Elder High School. This the 11th year the scholarships have been presented by the Franciscan Medical Group & Associates, a group of retired Western Hills physicians. The scholarships honor Beekley, a doctor who practiced internal medicine and cardiology in the area for over 50 years. The $5,000 scholarships are presented to students pursuing a career in health care who are selected based on their overall grade-point average, SAT and/or ACT scores, community service and school activities.

Mount offering early childhood endorsement The College of Mount St. Joseph has added the Early Childhood Generalist Endorsement program to its curriculum. The program is designed to provide additional opportunities for teachers in the early grades. Known by some as the 4/5 Endorsement, the program will give early childhood teachers (pre-kindergarten through grade three), who hold license, additional options in the teaching arena. It will also provide school districts with greater staffing flexibly. Classes will be offered at the Mount July 8-31, giving students a total of nine graduate-level credit hours. Those who complete all course work and pass the Praxis II Elementary Education Content Knowledge test will be eligible to teach grades four and five during the 2009-2010 academic year.

The Mount’s program was approved as one of 11 institution of higher education in the State of Ohio to offer the Early Childhood Generalist Endorsement program. “We are pleased to offer this endorsement program at the Mount,” said Kim Shibinski, Ed.D., assistant professor of education. “The endorsement program is an exciting opportunity for current early childhood teachers to obtain knowledge and skills needed to teach the 4th and 5th grades through a four-week summer program that combines classroom hours and online course along with field experience.” To learn more about the 4/5 Endorsement, contact Carla Good, in education, at 513-244-3258 or by e-mail at carla_good@ mail.msj.edu.

The only thing worse than mandatory 6 a.m. workouts is mandatory 5 a.m. workouts. But that is what Sean Teepen – and only Sean Teepen – had to endure in the summer of 2008. “We changed our summer conditioning time to 6 a.m. last summer,” Oak Hills High School head soccer coach John Mirizzi said. “But Sean had a full-time job he had to be at.” Teepen, who worked at Sterling Cut Glass, would get up at 4:30 a.m. to make it to conditioning by 5 a.m.. By doing his workout an hour earlier, Teepen ensured that he wouldn’t be late for his job. “It was pretty rough, but you do what you got to do,” he said. When the rest of his Highlanders’ teammates stumbled in at the regularly scheduled time, Teepen was finishing his exercises and getting ready for a full day of work. “Sean was our captain,” Mirizzi said. “Anything I asked him to do, he did. Him coming in early to do his workout showed tremendous leadership.” Sacrifices such as this is likely one reason why Teepen was named the Western Hills Press and Delhi/Price Hill Press Sportsman of the Year. Twenty-six Community Press winners among 13 ballots received this honor; athletes were nominated online, and the winners were determined by online voting. More than 89,000 total votes were cast. “I just tried to play hard and give 100 percent in what I did,” Teepen said. “It feels good all my hard work has paid off.”

He played in the Oak Hills jazz band and is also an avid guitar player. He and another recent Highlander grad, Mike Hager, have showcased their acoustic skills at various local venues. “His older brother really motivated him,” Jenny said of her son. That brother, Keith, played soccer at Oak Hills until his senior year before deciding to go the musical route and focus on piano. “Keith had a big influence on Sean, and I think Sean likes to make him happy,” Jenny said.

Apel beats odds with hard work By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

This was arguably the worst case of reverse senioritis ever. During the last months of her high school career – a time when exerting as little effort as possible is the modus operandi – Paige Apel got serious. Not that she wasn’t already. The soccer goalie extraordinaire earned first-team all-league and first-team all-city honors for Seton High School as a senior. But when spring sprung, so did Apel’s desire to take up another sport – track. “I was always interested in it,” she said. In junior high, Apel threw shot put and discus at Holy Family, but she had to decide between track and soccer once she enrolled at Seton.

Paige Apel, the 2009 Western Hills Press and Delhi/Price Hill Press Sportswoman of the Year, with her parents Teresa and Rob. “Track would have interfered with club soccer,” said Teresa, Apel’s mother. “But this year she said she wanted to do (track), and her club team (Ohio Elite) said they would work around it.” So here was a typical day for Apel: Go to school, go to track practice, go to club soccer practice, go to goalie training, come home at 11 p.m., do homework for an hour (maybe), go to bed, get up at 4 a.m. and finish – or in some cases, start – homework. And then? Repeat. “She has a strong work ethic,” Teresa said. That strong work ethic is likely one reason why Apel was voted the Western Hills Press and Delhi/Price Hill Press Sportswoman of the Year as part of 26 winners among 13 Community Press ballots. Athletes were nominated online, with winners being determined by online voting. More than 89,000 total votes were cast. While Apel enjoyed her time in track, soccer is her true love. “She’s the player who was always willing to put in extra work

to make herself and her team better,” head soccer coach Mollie Harloff said. “She was never satisfied.” It’s certainly paying off now; Apel, who is 5-3, will play soccer next year for Shawnee State University. “I’m happy that I found a college and a coach who didn’t look at my height,” she said. “They looked at my ability.” Apel certainly has that. As a sophomore, she played for Cincinnati United Premier and didn’t allow a goal all season. “After one of her games at Seton senior year, an opposing coach came up to her and said, ‘You are really underestimated because of your size. You’re a great athlete, and you played a great game.’ Even refs would make comments like that to her.” Those comments mean a great deal to Apel, whose passion for the sport has never been an issue. “She loves the game,” said Rob, her father. “She was the kind of kid who would be pacing by the door waiting to go to practice an hour

before it was time to leave.” Her drive spilled over into other areas. While at Seton, Apel maintained a high GPA – including a 3.8 as a senior. “We always told her, ‘There’s academics and sports, and you’re not going to have one without the other,’” Teresa said. Apel, a member of Art Club, Spanish Club and Spirit Club, was also involved with Sisters of Charity and Habitat for Humanity. Earlier this year, she was a guest speaker at Holy Family. “I think she was a little nervous at first, but I told her she had a lot to offer and could make a difference in kids’ lives,” Teresa said. “A lot of times, little kids would come up to her and say, 'Are you Seton's goalie?' I think she realized that there are kids who look up to high school athletes.” And don’t think that Apel’s work ethic has slowed during the summer. During the day, she works as a character at Kings Island –

Apel, who plans to major in sports management, hopes to one day return to Seton as a coach or athletic director. “It’s important for kids and athletes to really love what they do,” she said. “You have to have a passion for the sport.”

City has had chances to make turn dream of an incline into reality What is your pleasure? A ride through Over-the-Rhine on a street car or a ride up the side of Price Hill on an incline? Yes, as the mayor and city manager tell us all the good things about a street car, with a little foresight, the incline could have been a reality. You see, in the mid 1980s, a Price Hill businessman by the name of Rick Beck had a dream that the incline, which had been shut down for more than 40 years, could be rebuilt and pour new life into Price Hill. His dream even carried him so far as having T-shirts with a picture of the incline on them to raise funds. Surveys were done, money was requested from the federal government, some $11.5 million

with an additional $1.5 million for the city. The support in city council was from vice mayor Pete Straus and Bobbie Stern. The Larry city planning Schmolt committee, as a l w a y s , Community dragged their Press guest feet to a point columnist where both of the above had to tell them to get on with the planning. They continued to throw obstacles in front of Beck, such as the need of several million dollars insurance or saying the clearance of the trestle as it passed over the

Wayne Coates agrees, common sense needed I read with great interest the guest column by our county auditor, Dusty Rhodes, regarding, “It’s time to get back to common sense.” I would have to agree with Auditor Rhodes’ assessment that our county needs to get back to common sense governance. Sure our county commissioners inherited some of the bad decisions of their predecessors and now the country is in a lengthy national recession; revenue is down and investment revenue is virtually nonexistent. However, the commissioners have a higher statutory obligation and responsibility than just rubber-stamping the county administrator’s budget recommendations. Due to the commissioners’ 2009 funding budget, this year the county recorder’s office has reduced its expenditures approximately 23 percent, terminating 33 percent of positions and reducing supplies by 50 percent. As a fiscal conservative I have always worked to have government live within its means just like we all must do in our own homes. However, as your elected representative, I must warn you that the suggested 2010 reduc-

tions of 15 percent to 20 percent will have a devastating effect on the recorder’s meeting its statutory obligations, operation and Wayne public access. This year, the Coates recorder’s office Community has already Press guest taken in over columnist $3.2 million in receipts for the county general fund, with about half going to the state’s Ohio Housing Trust Fund. So why is the county administration recommending further cuts to an office that actually raises money for the county coffers? The commissioners should fund their statutory offices with statutory obligations before creating additional debts that have nothing to do with their statutory obligations. Yes, I agree with county Auditor Dusty Rhodes, it’s time to get back to “common sense” governance. Wayne Coates is the Hamilton County recorder and a resident of Forest Park.

CH@TROOM Last week’s questions

What features would you like to see included in a health care reform plan? “Nothing at all. Health care isn't perfect, but folks need to be wary if Obama on this one. The government shouldn't reform health care. It will be a bureaucratic nightmare and reduce the best health care system in the world to shambles. Just do some research and see how "good" things are in Canada. And if our is so bad, why are so many foreigners leaving their countries to work here as doctors and come here for major surgeries? Answer: because our health care is the best in the world!” C.G. “For a health care reform plan, the biggest feature I would like to see is the government not in it!!! I have yet to be impressed with the success versus cost of any government program (the jury is still out regarding NASA).” D.K.

Next question What do you think of Duke Energy’s plans to build a nuclear power plant in Piketon? What concerns do you have, if any?

Do you think township, city and village employees should live in the jurisdiction’s boundaries? Why? Why not? “Employees of townships, cities and villages would have a vested interest if they lived there, but that doesn't exclude them from doing just as good of a job.” D.K. “As for living in the jurisdiction you work in, how can one really know what is going on in the district if they live miles away.” L.S.

streets of Maryland and Warsaw would not give proper clearance. But the biggest obstacle was a series of signboards at the lower end of the right-of-way. You see, the city owned all the necessary property down the hill, but a sign company had bought up some in order to place signs there. Lo and behold, they were not going to give up the location and, as usual, the planners were not going to use eminent domain. With the possibility of the incline being scrapped, in steps another businessman, Mr. Blatt, who at the time owned the Queen’s Towers. His plan asked, if we cannot have an incline, why not a tram such as that which operated at Coney Island or a ski slope? He paid for all the surveys and the

incline at this time is not to be in conflict with a street car line, but two major things are to occur in the next several years that could have a dramatic affect on whether or not an incline ever runs up the side of the hill. First, in the near future, a new viaduct is to be built, replacing the present Waldvogel Viaduct. A little pre-planning could bring the Warsaw ramp closer to Glenway, thus the roadway would be over the incline right-ofway. Second, a new barge terminal is in the planning stages. This could adversely affect the views of the river one would get as they were ascending the hill on the incline. Larry Schmolt is coordinator of the Price Hill Historical Society.

Scholarship fund needs your help Since 1983, I have had the pleasure of “manning the helm” of the Cincinnati Scholarship Foundation (CSF) – over 25 years. In those 25-plus years, I also have had the pleasure of awarding thousands of local students scholarships that have assisted them to complete their education, which, without our help, might never have happened. This enabled them to join the workforce, get married, buy homes, pay taxes, and contribute back to their local community in a variety of ways. On a regular basis, I run into these students who never forget to thank me and remark on the generosity of the Greater Cincinnati community – something for which I am extremely proud. I would like to thank all of you who have made my last 25 years a truly remarkable journey. I have met some amazing people – from CEOs to single parents; from college presidents to high school freshmen; from grateful students to very thankful parents – and I look forward to meeting more in the future. However, I also would like to be able to help more students achieve their goals and join those ranks of home-owning, tax-paying, contributing college graduates. In this past year alone, we had hundreds of qualified student applicants we were unable to

assist because of a lack of funds available for distribution. They had financial need, good grades, community service backgrounds, Ned but simply not Hertzenberg enough money continue their Community to education. And, Press guest while I have not columnist heard from, nor expect to hear from, those hundreds of students I was unable to help, perhaps you have. They may be your relatives or children of relatives, your friends or children of friends, your co-workers or children of coworkers – and I am asking for your help in helping them. In this day and age, as everyone knows, a college education is the best resource anyone can have. And, in this day and age, a college education is terribly expensive – out of the financial reach of many, many young people, as I’m sure all of you reading this, know. However, it doesn’t necessarily have to be if the Greater Cincinnati community, you, are willing to keep up that spirit of generosity. Setting up a scholarship fund in the name of a parent, spouse,

child or even a friend is not nearly as costly as you might think. And, by doing that, you insure that that person’s name, achievements and reputation will never be forgotten by the students who will benefit from your generosity and thoughtfulness. The CSF administers approximately 100 different scholarship funds with annual awards beginning at only $500 – a small investment in something that will make this community even a “Greater” Cincinnati. Twenty-five years ago, the CSF had a saying of “Today’s students, our tomorrow” and the students are still “our tomorrow.” Please help me make all of our tomorrows better by establishing a scholarship fund, making a contribution to the CSF, or by going to our Web site, CincinnatiScholarshipFoundation.org, to learn more about this 90-year-old organization and find out about the other scholarships administered by the CSF – I’m certain you will recognize a number of them. Since the 1940s, which is as far back as our records go, the CSF has helped over 27,000 local students achieve their dream. With your generosity and concern for education thousands more may be able to achieve theirs. Ned Hertzenberg is president of the Cincinnati Scholarship Foundation.

Thanks to St. Teresa of Avila Last November, my husband, Rob Rogers, and I noticed some activity in front of St. Teresa Church, activity that resulted in greater ease of access for people with mobility limitations. My husband is the chair of the mayor’s committee on accessibility, and we are both knowledgeable of and concerned about building accessibility. However, what is good for people with mobility limitations is not always good for people with visual impairments. We were distressed, angry, and frustrated now that the entrance to St. Teresa Church was blocked to us. We thought of locating another church with a pedestrian-friendly entrance; then, we thought again and decided to bring our concerns to Father Thomas Bolte and the pastoral council. We met with Bill Thoman, maintenance manager, and demonstrated what people who are blind need in order to navigate

plans, finding it would cost several million dollars to build. The city fathers were happy that a private individual had stepped in and were willing to give him the property, but again, with a bunch of foot dragging and the like, he got disgusted and gave up the idea. Isn’t it ironic that today we talk about a street car line that cost more than $130 million to build and will lose money each year, while all this time we could have been operating an incline if there just wasn’t so much foot dragging. Pittsburgh has operated an incline all of these years, carrying more than a million people each year that makes money for the operator. The reason I bring up the

St. Teresa listened and learned, and last Sunday, June 21, we could resume our walking to Joyce Rogers church freely, independently, Community and safely. Press guest Walking a columnist half mile or so to church, and then not being able to enter it is a serious barrier. We had walked to St. Teresa for around 40 years, starting when our oldest child was 15 months old, and we now can walk to church for at least another 40 years. The red brick walk way you can now see near the corner of Glenway and Overlook avenues leading into St. Teresa Church is more than an attractive addition;

Thank you, St. Teresa for including people with all disabilities in your church family. it is our marker of freedom, independence, welcome, and inclusion in God’s kingdom on earth. No doubt, Father Bolte thought he was being thrown from the frying pan into the fire when we started to raise our concerns after people with mobility limitations achieved their ease of access. Well, the fires are out, and we are all happy again. Thank you, St. Teresa for including people with all disabilities in your church family. The only fire left now is that in Father Bolte’s mind and heart as he delivers another one of his enthusiastic, inspiring, edifying, and transforming homilies. Joyce Rogers lives on Morado Drive in Covedale.

A summertime reflection on human sexuality Summertime offers a visual smorgasbord of the human body. Warm air, less clothing, swimming, jogging and sunbathing draw attention and create sexual interest. Regardless of season, our culture celebrates the human body on stage, screen, TV and fashion. Immature and exaggerated as it may be, our focus on the body is a moving away from a centurieslong appraisal of negativity. The body for so long was seen as a prison for the spirit. Some earlier religions and philosophies believed that the best thing that could happen is when we die and are released from our bodies. Now we hold that there is a wholesome unity between body and soul. Our bodies are honorable and essential components of being human.

A healthy and spiritual understanding of human sexuality has not had good allies. Many moderns think that sexual restrictiveness is the result of Christianity and that the ancients were free of them. Quite the contrary. A perusal of Greek and Roman philosophy shows otherwise. In the “Phaedo,” Plato declared, “It seems that so long as we are alive, we shall continue closest to knowledge if we avoid as much as we can all contact and association with the body unless absolutely necessary.” Aristotle was particularly critical of the pleasures of touch and taste. Western beliefs and church attitudes about sex were especially influenced by Stoicism. Stoics took a stern view of sexual pleasure. Mastery of the mind should

be maintained even in marriage. It is wrong to lust after another man’s wife, and equally wrong to lust after one’s own wife. Augustine thought “for a couple to copulate for any purpose other than procreation was debauchery.” St. Paul, influenced by Hellenism, saw marriage as a concession to human weakness. Since the 1960s, we have been blundering and stumbling toward a more mature and wholesome attitude toward human sexuality. We’re certainly not there yet. A misuse of sex still lies at the heart of many social and psychological problems: rape, incest, pornography, abortion, pedophilia, even casual hooking-up and friends with benefits are all Exhibit A in evidence against a wholesome integration of sexuality into our lives.

It’s as though since the 1960s we have made progress from a negative childish attitude toward sex, and have now arrived at a collective adolescent stage where narcissism and indulgence reign – but still not a responsible appreciation and use. Years ago Fulton Sheen wrote, “Sex is the most psychosomatic of human functions. There is nothing else in which body and soul, finite and infinite, flesh and spirit are so closely intertwined. When sex and love are allowed to link the two, peace and joy result. When flesh and spirit are divorced, and sex is sought alone, boredom and ennui result.” Where are the men who will help in sexuality’s integration? In “Adam’s Return,” Father Richard Rohr, O.F.M., writes, “The most loving men I have met, the most generous to society and to

life, are usually men who also have a lusty sense of life, Father Lou beauty, pleasure, Guntzelman and sex – but Perspectives they have very realistic expectations of them. Smaller pleasures become a stairway and an invitation to higher ones … They offer a first taste but then create a taste for something more and something higher. This is the necessary training of the lover archetype.” Such men respect sex, women and God’s gifts. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@community press.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.

‘Orange’ you glad Rita tried again? As I write this column, I’m waiting on clone No. 4 of the Orange Dreamsicle Cake like Fireside Restaurant in Georgetown, and a number of other restaurants’ versions, to cool so I can frost it. I’m taking it to Channel 19 for a live cooking demo tomorrow morning. I know Rob Williams and Sheila Gray, along with Frank Marzullo, Dan Romito and the rest of the crew will have the same reaction as everyone else I’ve tested it on – Delicious! After trying various ways to make it taste “right,” all I can tell you is this is as close as I’m ever going to get to this restaurant favorite. Even after eating all my mistakes, I still love the cake, and the topping even more. Now the restaurants usually make a two or three layer cake. I’m sure you can do that by adjusting the baking time downwards. I

made mine in a 9-by-13 pan because it was easier, especially since my husband kept chiding me with “are you still fooling with that – isn’t it time to move on?” Easy for him to say.

Rita’s orange dreamsicle/ creamsicle cake clone

1 package (18.25 ounces) lemon supreme cake mix 1 small package orange Jell-O (3 ounces) 1 ⁄3 cup vegetable oil 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon orange extract 11⁄4 cups orange juice 1 ⁄4 teaspoon unsweetened orange Kool-Aid

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9-by13 pan with cooking spray. Place cake mix, Jell-O, oil, eggs, and orange extract in mixing bowl. Add orange juice and Kool-Aid and beat on low until moistened.

Can you help?

Newport’s Manyet’s bakery icing: Cindy Fessler said she hasn’t found an icing they like as well. Does anyone have a similar recipe? “My family was so disappointed when it closed,” she said. Like Skyline’s black bean and rice soup for BG: “I can’t seem to find anything even close to it. Can’t get enough of it.” Pelican Reef’s coleslaw: Shari Weber, an Anderson Township reader, loves this and wants to make it for her husband. “Something’s different in there and it’s so good,” she told me. Loveland’s Hitch’s, now closed, chicken salad: Reader Phil Jones says this can be purchased through Zapps Bar next to the old deli, but would like to make it at home. Like Ruby’s white macaroni: For Marella Holmes. Bugogi and spinach like Korean Riverside Restaurant, Covington: Sue Dreibelbis and her family love the bulgogi served there and her kids are crazy about the spinach. “My kids don’t eat many vegetables so I’m desperate to find the spinach recipe,” she said. Increase to medium and beat a few minutes longer. The batter will be smooth. Pour into pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Don’t overbake. If cake humps up in the center, when you take it out of the oven, put a folded towel over it and press down with your hands. Voilà – a perfectly even

cake (what you are doing is pressing the air out). Let it cool while making the topping.

Pineapple cream cheese topping Beat together:

1 can, about 20 ounces, crushed pineapple, drained or not, whatever you like (undrained your frosting

will be a little softer – I like that version since it has more flavor) 3 ounces cream cheese, softened Package (3.5 ounces ) instant vanilla pudding

Then fold in:

8 ounces or so thawed whipped topping Spread on cooled cake and garnish as desired.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen

Make a double batch of topping. Use half for a wonderful dip for fresh fruit or to make tiny tarts. Use mandarin oranges instead of pineapple.

Chipotle mayonnaise for burgers

For Jerry, who wanted an extra special spicy sauce for his burgers. Mix 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons each olive oil and lemon juice. Add a scant 2 teaspoons puréed canned chipotle

chiles in adobo, a Rita teaspoon Heikenfeld or so of garlic and Rita’s kitchen a handful of chopped cilantro. Taste, add salt and add more garlic, lemon, etc. if needed.

30348-5281. It’s important to know what is listed on your reports because the cost of credit is usually decided by those statements. For example, if you borrow $8,500 for 60 months, you would pay just $1,839 in interest at 7.9 percent or as much as $7,376 at 27.9 percent. That’s a difference of $5,537. Obviously, it’s important

that the agencies’ records are correct. Check for bad addresses or Social Security numbers, mistakes on accounts, unknown creditors and unauthorized inquiries. Aside from the risks to your credit worthiness, any such errors could be signs of identity theft. To protect yourself, dispute incorrect information as quickly as possible.

Tropical plants perfect for dressing up deck, patio If you’re looking for those perfect plants to grow on the patio or deck that will take the hot heat from a full sunny area, then I think I’ve got a great suggestion for you. Think tropical! Now if you’re just looking for great foliage, consider tropical plants like crotons, ensete, and banana trees. Great foliage, they love to grow in containers, and

they love the sun and the heat. And yes, these will definitely give you a great tropical look. If you’re Ron Wilson looking for In the foliage and take garden flowers, a look at these plants, which I think also happen

to be one of your best bangs for the buck for all summer flowers. In the vining category, for growing on a fence, trellis or arbor, look at confederate star or Madison star jasmine. Now these aren’t true jasmine, but produce jasmine-like fragrant flowers all summer long. They have dark green glossy foliage, can be an

aggressive vine, anxd truly add color and fragrance wherever it’s grown. Also in the vining category, consider the mandevillas. Mostly available in pinks and reds, these aggressive vining tropicals will quickly cover any trellis, fence or arbor with beautiful foliage, and produce wonderful tubular pink and or red flowers all summer long.

Looking for a bush or tree look on the patio? Well, keep in mind those wonderful tropical hibiscus. Again, easy to grow, they love the sun, have wonderful dark glossy foliage, and you just can’t beat those huge colorful flowers that tropical hibiscus will give to your patio, all summer long. They come in a wide range of colors, singles and

doubles, and guess what? Their flowers are highly edible. So if you have a sunny, hot patio or deck, think “tropicals” for great summer colors. Talk to you next time, in the garden!

The Mercy Circle of Caring ÂŽ

At Mercy, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the "Little Things" During a recent resident council meeting a resident exclaimed she had a craving for peppermint ice cream! Sandy, the Activity Assistant, searched numerous grocery stores to no avail. After several attempts, Sandy finally struck gold. Not only did one of our valued residents enjoy this seasonal treat, Sandy purchased enough for the entire resident population. At Mercy communities we take care of the "little things". Including peppermint ice cream runs. The expert care you need. The personal attention you deserve. It's all a part of the Mercy Circle of Caring.

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…

The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
