Teri Dumont said she wants to rent her apartment units on Jamestown Avenue to nice people, and in order to do so she does her part to help make Price Hill a pleasant place to live. Dumont was one of more than 100 people involved with Price Hill block clubs and neighborhood watch groups who gathered at St. William Church Thursday, July 9, for the second annual block club summit sponsored by Price Hill Will’s Safety Community Action Team. “I want this neighborhood to stay nice so I can rent my apartments to nice people,” said Dumont, a member of the Sunset block club. “I’ve owned my apartment building since 1980, and my section of Jamestown is nicer than it’s ever been.” She said she’s been a member of the block club for two years. She enjoys the camaraderie of the club and the fact she is always informed about what is happening in the neighborhood. “It really does make a big dif-
ference,” she said. Kara Ray, community organizer for Price Hill Will, said the summit provided the members of all the different block clubs and watch groups a chance to meet one another, share ideas and success stories and brainstorm about new initiatives to keep their communities safe. The event began with a safety walk and litter clean up on the streets surrounding St. William, followed by free refreshments. Ray said housing representatives from Santa Maria Community Services also attended the summit to give participants a presentation on how to work and communicate positively with problem and absentee landlords. “It’s also just a great night to enjoy the neighborhood,” she said. Matt and Elizabeth Batie said they participate in the parties and get-togethers the block club on their street organizes, but they have yet to officially join their neighborhood’s club. Price Hill residents for five years, they said they love the community’s proximity to downtown and great housing stock,

Matt added, “Also to get to know the neighbors so there are more familiar faces.” The summit concluded with a free concert by Magnolia Mountain sponsored by Price Hill Will’s Arts Community Action Team.

Grayson Rhoades said he learned a great deal from his experiences in the cooperative education program at the College of Mount St. Joseph. The Monfort Heights resident excelled in the program, and as a result was presented the 2009 Coop of the Year Award by the Mount. “It was a great experience and I learned a lot,” said Rhoades, who graduated from the Mount this spring with a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts. “The program was awesome.” The La Salle High School graduate was selected from a field of seven students for the award. He spent three semesters in the Mount’s co-op program and worked as a recreation leader/inclusion specialist at the Dunham and Millvale community centers for the Cincinnati Recreation Commission. He said he interacted with children of all ages, racial and ethnic backgrounds, and worked with children from Burundi, Senegal and Rwanda to help them become accepted and assimilated with other children. “It was amazing to see such a diverse community and how they
interact with each other,” Rhoades said. His experiences taught him to always have an open mind and a positive attitude when Rhoades working with children in order to help make their day better, he said. Rhoades is now a graduate student at Xavier University and is working toward his master’s in special education. He said his goal is to be a special education teacher and hopefully a coach. “I enjoy working with the kids and seeing the strides they make in their development throughout the year, and figuring out what modifications are needed to help the kids who may not be catching on as quickly,” he said. “It’s inspiring to me to see that development and learning process.” Rhoades said he thanks the Mount for providing him the opportunity to be in the cooperative education program. “I would recommend the co-op program to any student,” he said. “It’s a great way to see what you want to do with your life.”

I-74 cameras may help during rush hour By Katie Hull khull@communitypress.com
Drivers will have an ally on their way into work – new cameras and dynamic message signs along Interstate 74. The ARTIMIS traffic system began expanding coverage in July 2008. Nine new cameras are being installed along Interstate 74, between Montana Avenue and Rybolt/Harrison Avenue exits. Before this expansion, the ARTIMIS cameras did not monitor traffic west of Montana Avenue. “We have 125 cameras
all over the city, and we did not have any coverage on I74, so we wanted to expand out to the west,� said Jon Milesky, ARTIMIS project program manager. With the cameras, three dynamic message signs also will be installed, which will be similar to the one at Montana Avenue on I-74, said Milesky. The signs provide messages about traffic updates and emergency notices. The messages, which are brief to avoid distraction, appear when drivers need to be informed of significant accidents, construction or heavy congestion.

The cameras and dynamic message signs will help ARTIMIS monitor traffic so they can divert drivers to alternate routes. Expanding the system will benefit drivers coming from Harrison and Lawrenceburg, Ind. For example, the system can notify those drivers and divert them elsewhere before they hit heavy traffic on Interstate 275 by Miamitown, said Milesky. “So we just felt like we were going to get a good bang for our buck because of so many different routes we can divert people around,� he said. Two additional ARTIMIS cameras will be installed on I-275 and I-74 near Lawrenceburg and Harrison. One will be near U.S. Route 50 in Indiana, a constant problem area because of the bridge closings over the Ohio River, said Milesky. Although the timeline is not definite, Milesky said they are hoping to have the project completed in November.

ters in partnership with the College Board. “We appreciate the support of Hanban, which has enabled more American students to learn the Chinese language, discover the vibrant culture of China, and participate more fully in the cultural exchange between our two countries,” said College Board President Gaston Caperton. During the trip, the two met with Chinese education leaders, built sister school and city ties, and networked with other U.S. school leaders who are bringing Chinese language programs to their districts and schools. Delegates visited Beijing, and traveled in small groups to other cities and provinces to meet with local education commissions. “Our trip to China was an incredible learning experience. As we toured this ancient country and interacted with their educational leaders, we found them open and willing to build international relationships and gain a better understanding about the Ameri-
can educational system,” Cybulski said. “We look forward to creating partnerships with our Chinese colleagues that will lead to mutual benefits for our students and communities.” According to a 2008 field study, the number of Chinese programs in the United States has grown by almost 200 percent since tallies were last taken in 2004. Additionally, in the year between 2005 and 2006, the number of students at the higher education level who were learning Chinese jumped by 52 percent. Oak Hills High School introduced an Advanced Placement Chinese language course last year, and Rapid Run Middle School started a language club during the same time. Chinese is the most widely spoken first language in the world. It is the national language of the more than 1.3 billion inhabitants of China and millions more ethnic Chinese around the globe. “It is clear to me that the

Camp helps children with transplants live full lives By Kellie Geist kgeist@communitypress.com
Tom Starr, one of the longest living transplant recipients, is working to encourage kids who’ve received transplants to live
life to the fullest. Starr, who has received two transplants in the last 20 years, founded Miracles for Life in 2001 and recently moved the business from Blue Ash to 1081-B Ohio 28, Suite 237, in Milford. “We loved Blue Ash, but we’ve really been embraced by all of Clermont County … It’s just easier to interact out here,” Tom said. “We’ve found everyone extremely friendly, very giving and anxious to help us.” Miracles for Life is an
organization devoted to raising awareness about being a blood, tissue and organ donor and sending children who’ve received transplants to summer camp. Miracles for Life also gives out college scholarships. “The first mission was donor awareness … We want people to know it should be an obvious thing, it’s the gift of life. It’s like I say, If you don’t need it, donate it,” Tom said. This is the first year the

organization has sponsored a summer camp, but it’s a goal Starr has wanted since the beginning. The threeday camp, which will be free for campers, will take place Friday, Sept. 11, through Sunday, Sept. 13, at Camp Joy Outdoor Educational Center in Clarksville, Ohio. The only fee is $25 for registration. “I want to inspire kids to be as great as they can be by doing all the outdoor activities that Camp Joy has to offer. I want to urge them to see that they’ve got a second chance and they need to grab all the life they possibly can,” Tom said. The camp will be cappedoff with a parent’s day camp following a motorcycle ride to Camp Joy. The ride will start at 10 a.m. at the Quaker Steak and Lube in Milford and leave for the camp around noon. Cost is $10 for a driver and $5 for a rider. The proceeds to go toward paying for the camp. Parents who visit the camp Sunday will join in activities with other parents for support and networking. Starr’s brother, Larry, has always been one of Tom’s biggest supporters. When Tom had his first transplant in 1988, Larry was the head athletic trainer for the Cincinnati Reds. “It’s traumatic for the family to have a family member who needs a transplant … it has made such an impact,” Larry said. “Tom has really become a big hero for me because he’s always found the energy to get his message out and find ways to educate people on the importance of being a donor.” Before he founded Miracles for Life, Tom created Donor Net, a Internet based system to store donor information so blood, tissue and organs can be transferred more quickly. “We don’t want the possibility of people creating miracles and saving live not to happen because of miscommunication,” Larry said. Anyone interested in the camp should call Starr at 248-4665, e-mail him at tstarr@miraclesforlife.org or visit www.miraclesforlife. org for more information.

Retail outlets to open at Glenway Ave. site Cincinnati News Service Several retail outlets – including new Chipotle Mexican Grill and Chick-filA restaurants – plan to open soon on property along Glenway Avenue that was the former site of the Cronin Dodge auto dealership. Chipotle will lease space in a multitenant building being developed by DW Real Estate Holdings LLC of Cincinnati, said Bryan Snyder, development services administrator at the Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission.
He said the company plans to develop about 20,000 square feet of retail space at the site in three buildings. Allan Wallander, manager of DW Real Estate, said the building will be part of a 3-acre, $10 million-plus development that will be known as Glenway Shoppes. He also said City Barbecue, a Columbus-based restaurant chain, plans to build a free-standing store between the strip center and Chick-fil-A. He said City Barbecue hopes to begin construction by fall.
Wallander said InkStop, Chipotle and a Jimmy John’s sandwich shop will join existing tenant T-Mobile in the building by this fall. He said about 2,800 square feet is still for lease in the multi-tenant building. Adam Goetzman, Green Township’s development director, said, “It will be a quality development that complements the Glenway Avenue business district.” Chipotle plans to open a 2,450 square-foot eatery Friday, July 1 7, at 6455 Glenway Ave. It will have about 30
employees and seat about 60 people. The restaurant will be Chipotle’s 20th location in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Chick-fil-A, the Atlantabased restaurant chain known for its chicken sandwiches, plans to open a restaurant at 6475 Glenway Ave. It will have 60 to 65 employees. Snyder said plans call for Chick-fil-A to build a 4,287square-foot free-standing store on Glenway between Karen and Childs avenues.

Beginning this fall the Mount will offer the Part-time Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. There is a great demand for qualified nurses in the job market today. The Mount’s new program is designed for those who wish to begin a new career but cannot attend classes full time due to
work and other obligations. Students will earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree with blended and accelerated core classes offered in the evenings, with clinicals on Saturdays. “The nursing program at the Mount has a wonderful reputation throughout the Tristate,” said Susan Johnson, Ph.D., program director of nursing at the College. “We’ve been educating nurses for over 80 years. It seemed logical
for us to offer a high-quality program for those who wish to purse the BSN degree part time.” Baccalaureate core courses are available this summer, and science prerequisite courses will be offered this fall. Visit http://bit.ly/PJ5gZ to learn more about the Part-time BSN program, or contact Nicki Veldhaus in the Admission Office, nicki_veldhaus@mail.msj.edu or 513-244-4538.

Schultz to team with Scales in college By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
They were never actually apart, but they’ll be reunited anyway. Former Elder High School teammates Orlando Scales and Jake Schultz will both wrestle for Notre Dame College, one of the top NAIA programs in the country. “It’ll be good for him to go up there with Orlando,” said Jim Schultz, Jake’s father. “They’ve been friends for a long time, and another four years will be a good thing.” Scales, who was named the 2009 LaRosa’s High School Male Athlete of the Year, became a household name after winning back-to-back state titles and registering two straight undefeated seasons. Schultz, however, also enjoyed a successful career at Elder; a three-time district-qualifier, the 112-pounder came within one match of state each of the last two years.
“He was in a tough, tough weight class,” said Elder wrestling head coach Dick McCoy. Jim drove Scales and Schultz Schultz on a visit to Notre Dame, and both wrestlers were impressed with the school. “I think it was very easy for them to make the decision,” Jim said. “Jake would never admit it, but they decided to (sign with Notre Dame) a long time before they announced it.” Notre Dame, which has produced several NAIA All-Americans in recent years, offers a stellar wrestling program. “The wrestling is good,” Schultz said. “But now I need to add more muscle.” Schultz wrestled in the 112pound division in high school, but the lowest collegiate weight class
Family ties that bind Jake Schultz (2009) is the most recent branch of his family’s Elder wrestling tree. His father, Jim, graduated from Elder in 1974, while his brothers, Jim Jr. and Tony, graduated in 2003 and 2005, respectively. Several of Schultz’ uncles were also Elder wrestlers; among them were John (1962), Joe (1967) and Mark, who graduated in the late 1970s. John was a member of Elder’s first wrestling team and was the first district champion in school history. Jim, meanwhile, has been an assistant coach at Elder since 1990, while Jim Jr. coaches the freshman
team and Tony coaches the junior high program. Although none of his sons wrestle for Elder any longer, Jim plans to remain a coach for the Panthers. “My kids aren’t there anymore, but I’m sure there are one or two guys next year who’ll feel my wrath,” he joked. “When October and November roll around, I look forward to (the wrestling season). It keeps me young.” Jake, in fact, may one day carry on the coaching tradition that his family has embraced. “I’ll save my spot for him,” Jim said. “He can come back in five years.”
is 125. Scales, meanwhile, is the top-ranked 215-pounder in the country, but there is no 215pound division in college; he must wrestle either 197 or 285. “They’ve got to add the right kind of weight,” McCoy said. “But being there together will be good for both of them. They’ll keep each other grounded.”
Schultz remains undecided on a major, as Notre Dame has agreed to pay about half his tuition. “Anytime a school gives your son money to go to school, you have to take advantage of that,” Jim said. “The (coaches) at Notre Dame said all the right things to me. They want him there, and they did all the things to make it
Sign up for Metro softball by July 19 Registration for the Annual Cincinnati Metro Softball Tournament is due by noon on July 19. The road to the city championship begins with the tournament draw on July 28 at Rumpke Park when teams find out who they will play in the first round. Games begin July 30 and continue through Aug. 12. “The Metro is the premier softball event to determine the best of the best in the Tristate,” said Dan Saylor, Rumpke Park executive director and
Cincinnati Amateur Softball Association (ASA) commissioner. “Players and teams are very passionate about playing in the Metro and claiming the title of city champs.” The entry fee is $295 per team, and the tournament is open to any team that played in a sanctioned softball league at a Greater Cincinnati park during 2009. The tournament offers men’s and women’s divisions for all levels, from recreational to competitive. The Cincinnati ASA governs play at
the Metro, and a $30 ASA sanction fee is required for non-ASA teams. Registration forms are available online at www.rumpkeballpark.com or by calling Rumpke Ballpark at 7382646. More than 300 teams competed last year, continuing the Metro’s status as the largest amateur softball tournament in the nation. Rumpke Park in Crosby Township serves as the main location, and fields at six local parks are also used to accommodate the number of games.
happen.” As for wrestling, Schultz hopes to make an impact. “I hope to start by my sophomore or junior year and get some mat time,” said Schultz, who may decide to red-shirt his freshman year. Dante Rini, who was an Honorable Mention All-American for Notre Dame this year, will be Schultz’ primary competition in the 125-pound division. “He told Jake he wouldn’t mind wrestling 133 during the season and then dropping down to 125 for nationals, so we’ll see what happens,” Jim said. Whether Schultz’ success comes earlier or later, odds are it’s going to come. “I think he’ll struggle a bit his first year just because it’s the next level; it’s harder and more difficult,” McCoy said. “But he comes from a good wrestling family of blue-collar, hard-nosed kids. He’ll go up there and work hard, and hopefully things will work out for him.”

St. X wins GCL All-Sports Trophy By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
For the fourth time in the last five years, St. Xavier High School won the Greater Catholic League AllSports Trophy. “It speaks of our consistency,” St. Xavier Athletic Director John Sullivan said. “It says that our kids work real hard and take pride in winning this award every year.” St. Xavier, which tallied 71 total points, bested Moeller, which scored 68 points, as well as Elder (52) and La Salle (49). Individual teams from each of the four schools
earned points based on their respective league performances; a team that finished first in the GCL earned eight points, a team that finished second earned six points, a team that finished third earned four points and a team that finished fourth earned two points. “Our coaches don’t really talk about (the trophy) because they don’t want to put any undue pressure on the kids – playing in the GCL is hard enough,” Sullivan said. “But the kids do talk about it.” Especially on Tuesday, May 12. That night, the St. X volleyball team hosted Moeller

the fingertips of my left hand to replace the stranglehold I formerly employed. “If I held my club in my left hand like you do, I’d quit golf because I’d be a doomed slicer,” Samborsky jokes. We work our way through the list with corrections for each problem. I smile throughout the two and a half hour lesson and mean it. By lesson’s end, the once foreign sound of my club properly striking the ball is obvious. It’s crisp and after the point of impact the improved visual is suddenly a straight shot with proper trajectory. And my head is up to see it. But inconsistency and the infrequency of quality shots shows I have a long way to go. To close the session, Samborsky showcases my newly minted swing on a computer screen and I see progress. The lower half of my body is pivoting and weight is shifting forward at the point of impact, a distinct difference from the statuesque nature I formerly displayed. But then Samborsky juxtaposes my video with that of consummate driving range junkie Vijay Singh. I’m demoralized by Singh’s silky smooth attack. But it also breeds a sense of determination. Looking like – and more importantly playing like – an actual golfer is the endgame here. I drive to Samborsky’s house, borrow a set of his clubs fitted to my swing, hit several buckets at the range and wait for Lesson No. 2. One lesson down, three to go and I’m begging the golf gods for pars and birdies. Then when August rolls around hopefully I’ll be doing a lot more playing and a lot less praying on the course.

years, including each of the last two. “Our guys knew that match would decide it,” Sullivan said. The Bombers captured league titles this past school year in soccer, swimming, bowling, tennis and volleyball. They also finished second in cross country, golf and baseball. “There are certain sports we can count on every year, like swimming and tennis,” Sullivan said. “Those sports really give us an edge.” The swimming team won a state title for the 30th time in school history this past year, while the tennis team won its fourth straight. Meanwhile, the football team, which won state titles in 2005 and 2007, accounted for St. X’s sole last-place finish in the GCL during the entire school year. “Nothing surprises me with football in the GCL,” Sullivan said. “We’ve been very fortunate in the last few years to have had a lot of talent and to have been able to win the GCL and two state titles. But everyone has a down year every now and again.”
This summer, I’m embarking on a quest to forever change my golf game. The goal is simple: Follow and find the ball for 18 holes so I can actually PLAY the game. And then all that’s left is a lifetime of practice. So I met up with Gene Samborsky on the driving range at Aston Oaks Golf Club to begin a series of lessons Monday, July 6. Samborsky, a 65 year old who’s taught the game since 1968 and played since 1953, was the head golf pro at Western Hills Country Club for 35 years. I’m in good hands. From minute one I can tell Gene’s patient and playful spirit is that of a golf pro. He loves his job. Samborsky poses a question: “If I were a genie, what would you ask of me?” He must immediately see my wheels spinning, visions of fat bank accounts and beach-front property. “Of the golf world, genie of the golf world,” Samborsky adds with a laugh. I explain my “follow and find the ball” objective. “We seek logic for answers but the game defies logic,” Samborsky said. “I can’t teach golf. It’s a motor skill and it can’t be taught. “You learn some things and then you teach yourself.” It’s readily apparent I have a lot to learn. I keep my head down too long. The lower half of my body is set in stone throughout my swing. I don’t shift my weight in the least. My grip is completely incorrect. My slice is incurable because my clubs don’t fit. “We are going through a lot but a person of your caliber needs to be informed of a lot of things,” Samborsky said. We start with reworking my grip, shifting the club to

Green history began in mid 1790s This is part one of four on the history of Green Township. Green Township is celebrating its 200 birthday this year. It was originally included in South Bend Township which was platted by the court of general session in 1795. It encompassed all of Delhi Township, and part of Green Township that didn’t belong to Colerain Township. There is no ordinance recorded that designated when Green Township became a township. Local legend believes that it was created possibly by county commissioners in 1809. In 1816 a petition was presented to the Ohio State Legislature to separate Delhi Township from Green Township. Those early years presented many hardships for pioneers. But they were hardy and wanted a better life. That is evident by the letters they wrote. A letter collection at the Cincinnati Historical Society written by Isaac Jackson talks about that early life. His first letter dated May 18, 1813, was written to his wife Deborah. She stayed behind in New York with their eight children waiting for him to establish a home. Isaac talked about his journey, coming down the Ohio River. He
made the trip on an arch-like boat coming 500 miles from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati. It only took nine days because the river was Betty Kamuf high. He paid for his trip Community $12 and felt that Press guest was very reacolumnist sonable. It was hard being away from his family, but the trip was easier because of the beautiful scenes along the Ohio River. When he arrived in the village of Cincinnati, he saw a river town that was well on its way to becoming a boomtown. In 1811, the first commercial passenger steamboat landed in Cincinnati and that started transforming the city from an isolated frontier town to a bustling river city. It would incorporate in 1819 with a population of about 10,000 people. Jackson told his wife that the people dress in homespun clothes, seemed down to earth, and he felt very much at home here. The climate was very much like Washington City. June was the hottest month, but a blanket felt good at

This month marks the 40th anniversary of man’s first step on the moon. What do you remember about that event? Do you think the U.S. Should return to the moon? Why or why not? “My first thoughts were that I prayed that he was going to be able to get off and that we would not truly have a man on the moon as we used to say as little kids. We waste so much money on other programs I cannot see why we should not continue with the moon program.” L.S. “I remember this being an almost religious experience. All over the world, people were glued to their TV’s just as we were. However, I think space dollars would be better spent on a replacement for the Shuttle than returning to the moon at this point in time. Later on, yes, we should go back.” D.H. “I remember the night they

I was 13, I was sick and they gave me penicillin, which I was allergic to (we didn’t know that then). While I watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon, I was scratching my arms and legs like crazy from the allergy. I believe we have returned to the moon several more times after that. The moon didn’t appear to easily support life, so I don’t think going back there is a sound financial move at this time. We should explore improvements in farming, food supplies, water supplies, and living conditions in our country as well as worldwide.” C.D.

This is an 1820 map of Green Township. Maps in 1820 were very crude, but it is very close to the date Isaac Jackson purchased the property, on Muddy Creek Pike, now Sidney Road and Anderson FerryRoad, close to the border of Delhi and Green Township. The map and information was provided by the Cincinnati Historical Society and Paul Ruffing, president of the Green Township Historical Society. night. The Indian problem that was much talked about in New York was not a problem here. He expected they would either be run off or exterminated by winter. Isaac arrived with a letter of introduction from William Henry Harrison to a Mr. Moon, who was a shop keeper. He found lodging
there and sought his advice on establishing a home. His letters were sent from the post office and arrived by a circuit rider. One day he received three and the third one was so rubbed the paid stamp could not be seen and he had to pay 50 cents to receive it. He observed that Tuesday was the
best day to write because it only took 10 days to arrive from New York. He hoped he would be able to do better here than in New York, or Philadelphia. He had been in a mercantile business with Thomas. Robinson of Baltimore in 1803 when Thomas filed bankruptcy. He sold his holdings and moved to New York with his wife and four children. In New York he again established himself in the mercantile business. During the War of 1812, the British blockaded the east coast and all merchandise dried up. Isaac sold his holdings to his partner and came to Cincinnati. Betty Kamuf is a winner of Griffin Yeatman Award for Historical Preservation. She lives in Sayler Park.

Covedale: We like it just fine A recent headline asked the question, “Would a new name give General Motors a boost?” The article emphasized the competitive nature of business and the need for promotion and marketing. The same can be said for neighborhoods. If I live in a new Ryland Home, I’m encouraged to wear a party hat and “Celebrate Life Every Day!” And if I live in a new Fisher Home I expect that my kids can toss football with Carson Palmer. Our media culture sometimes convinces us to accept the illogical. Promoting new development has been elevated to an art form. But neighborhood branding has always occurred informally, perhaps as a way to satisfy our self esteem. For example, the area we now call East Price Hill was originally Storrs Township. In 1899, the famous poet and author John James Piatt wrote, concerning the perceived decline of the area 30 years prior, “Storrs, once the fashionable quarter lacked of transportation and school facilities. The popular western tendency was diverted to Walnut Hills, Mount

Auburn and Clifton.” The Storrs identity lost its attractiveness. So when the Price family built the incline and developed the hill, local r e s i d e n t s embraced the Price Hill identity as a way to re-create their
image. Other names for the area have long ago faded from our collective memory, among them Bold Face Hill and Prospect Hill. Similarly, the area that is today Lower Price Hill was once a part of the West End. But when that area began to decline local residents called their section Eighth and State. Remember when there was only one Price Hill? I suspect that the West Price Hill identity is accepted in part as a way for residents to segregate themselves from the older eastern section. And residents of East Price Hill
seem equally proud to identity with the area’s historic character, city views and proximity to town, advantages that are particularly embraced by those who reside in the Incline District. The branding of neighborhoods is a natural evolution of how we perceive ourselves. It is very personal in nature and only effective when the people it affects embrace it. In a recent “Chirper,” the official publication of the Price Hill Civic Club, the president wrote, “the organization appears to be well poised to take some major steps in the area of promotion and marketing.” This is an obvious understatement. As it turns out the “major step” is to expand the West Price Hill boundaries, as evident by the many signs along Glenway Avenue, by re-branding Covedale as West Price Hill. Mr. President, with all due respect, Covedale residents like the name Covedale just fine. Perhaps your signs would be better received east of Rapid Run.

Our annual Safe Drinking Water Report highlights our extensive water quality monitoring and state-of-the-art treatment process. GCWW performs more than 600 water quality tests each day to ensure high quality water. We are proud that Cincinnati water met or exceeded all state and national health standards in 2008, as it always has. Greater Cincinnati Water Works uses full-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment with on-site reactivation. This
method is cited in studies as being extremely effective in removing harmful substances. Diagrams of our treatment processes are contained in the Safe Drinking Water Report. There are new plans to improve this already highly successful water treatment. In 2009 and 2010, GCWW will be installing ultraviolet (UV) disinfection treatment technology at the Richard Miller Treatment Plant. Greater Cincinnati Water Works’ current treatment process of sand filtration coupled with granular activated carbon treatment serves as an excellent treatment barrier. This, combined with UV disinfection, will provide a true multi-barrier treatment. Greater Cincinnati Water Works will be the first water utility in the
country to use sand filtration followed by granular activated carbon treatment and then UV. The addition of UV disinfection parallels the cutting edge research and implementation of our current GAC treatment process. When granular activated carbon treatment was researched, it was found to be the best technology available to remove contaminants in the Ohio River. Today’s research shows that UV disinfection is an optimum technology to address our concerns in an economical way. The U.S. EPA has identified UV disinfection as one of the Best Available Technologies against certain contaminants. The Ohio River and Great Miami Aquifer supply our source water. The Safe Drinking Water
Report contains a map of our service area and, by looking at the report, customers can tell where their water comes from. Source waters are environmentally sensitive. The best way to ensure safe water at the tap is to keep our source waters clean. Greater Cincinnati Water Works is a municipally owned utility providing 136 million gallons of water a day. Greater Cincinnati Water Works currently serves the entire city of Cincinnati, most of Hamilton County, the city of Mason, and parts of Butler and Warren counties, and Boone County in Kentucky. The Safe Drinking Water Report is included in customers’ utility bills from April through June to let customers know about

From veterinary care to timely vaccinations—and clean and comfortable living conditions to plenty of fresh food and water—healthy, well-cared-for flocks and herds are essential to livestock farming. That’s why it comes as no surprise that Ohio livestock farmers go above and beyond to make sure their animals receive the best possible care.
For an Ohio livestock farmer,
taking animal care seriously just makes sense.
For Ohio livestock farmers, caring for animals is not just a job…
it’s a way of life.

Life
July 15, 2009
Death has no favorites, even celebrities die A lot of famous people have died recently and that bothers us. It bothers us because the fact of death bothers us terribly. In every life death anxiety is operative in great and small ways. Leavings and losings are not on our agenda. And the second reason we’re bothered over these recent deaths is because they have shattered our suppositions. We suppose that if a person has prestige, wealth, celebrity and popularity that those facts bring with them a certain degree of immortality. We suppose important people (presuming they are) have a charmed life and are too important to lose. Death is supposed to show them the same favoritism we do and back off.
How unsettled we are when we become aware that death plays no favorites. The day of our death is always thought of as far off. The day we come to know we will eventually die – not know it merely in our minds but realize it in our hearts – that day is the day we become a philosopher. Thereafter we pose momentous questions to ourselves and it takes the rest of our lives to answer them. It’s a sad occurrence when favored people never even let themselves get to the questions. Among the questions that arise are ones such as: How should I live knowing I will die some day? Why love anyone at all if they can be taken away from me, and I from them? Is it better to be cautious and
avoid the risk of great love for someone in order to be safe from the heartache of grief? Is there more life after this world’s life that is even more desirable, or is there only disintegration and dry nothingness? Is there a God who created me, loves me, and keeps me alive eternally? The alternative to struggling with questions such as these is to employ certain defenses against the questions ever arising. Hedonism says we can become impervious to death anxiety if we “eat, drink, and be merry.” Denial says, “Just don’t think about it and keep busy.” Agnostic practicality asks, “Why try to live life wholeheartedly if it will all end?” Ernest Becker acknowledges this strange way of thinking: “The
irony of man’s condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we shrink from being fully alive.” Will it help us diminish death anxiety if we draw back from life, from deeply loving, from compassion and enjoyment and closeness to another person? The answer - like so many other answers – is another of life’s paradoxes. Knowing death will come for us some day is the very factor that makes it possible for us to live life now in an authentic fashion. For what is limited is precious, what is plentiful becomes cheap. Knowing our years are limited urges us to appreciate their preciousness. Death – rather being only a

As with others I’ve seen in this situation, most of the
overdraft fees are caused by the use of a debit card. Instead of putting those small charges on her debit card she could have paid cash, and Felts says she’s now learned her lesson. “Use cash. People need to start using cash more often,” she said. Felts said the government is enacting new credit card laws and should reevaluate what the banks are doing. The Federal Reserve is now deciding whether to crack down on automatic overdraft protection.

and a proposal there would require banks to tell customers when they are at risk of incurring overdraft fees at an ATM machine or cash register so they can cancel the transaction. Troubleshooter Howard Ain
A rule is expected later this year that would prevent banks from manipulating the order of checks and debits so they maximize overdraft fees. Meanwhile, Congress is also listening to consumers

The nation’s banks continue to raise fees on everything from credit cards to checking accounts. Banks say they need the money to make up for losses they incur during this recession. But customers and consumer groups are crying foul. Banks have come under much criticism for making it easy for customers to spend more money than they have in their account so they can assess overdraft fees. People like Bridget Felts of Milford are furious. She received three overdraft charges recently and said it’s not fair. “This was for a total of a negative $5.90, and they are charging me, with one fee that was already taken off, $104 – for $5.90. I was just dumbfounded,” Felts said. Felts’ bank had agreed to drop one charge, but not the other two. “It’s a negative $5.90, from what they’re telling me because, if you look at the statement, it shows I have money the whole time – it never went negative. But they keep saying, ‘It’s for pending. It’s for pending,’ ” she said. The “pending” charges are for two debit card purchases of less than $5 each. “We budget our biweekly checks to the penny so $104, that’s our grocery money, that’s our gas in our car. It’s devastating. I was literally begging these people to give me my money back,” Felts said. After several calls the bank agreed to return the fees, but Felts said what happened is wrong. “The punishment should fit the crime. If there’s a negative $5.90 balance, $104 is

Kids with egg, dairy allergy can still eat cake One of the most fun things about writing this column is the feedback I get from you. No matter where I am, whether it’s the grocery s t o r e , M a c y ’s , teaching a class or speaking to a group, Rita s o m e o n e Heikenfeld comes up Rita’s kitchen and mentions my column. I have always believed that’s because this column isn’t just about food: it’s a “place� where we gather each week and share recipes, memories, tips, opinions. A good example of this is Michelle Smith, a New Richmond reader, who requested an eggless cake for son Ethan’s 4th birthday. Clermont County reader Annie Hoffman, a cottage baker, came to the rescue. The bonus is the cake is dairy-free, too.
Annie’s dairy-free, eggless chocolate cake
Annie says, “The kids will love this cake.� Will make 26 cupcakes, a 9-by-13 pan, a 12-by-9 pan or even an 8-by-8 pan. Annie likes to use a 12by-9 pan or 8-by-8 square for thicker cake. Just adjust the baking time: 18 to 20 minutes for cupcakes; start testing cakes about 25 minutes. When toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, it’s done. Don’t overbake. Temperature: 350 degrees for all. 3 cups all purpose flour 2 cups sugar 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 ⠄3 cup Canola (she uses Kroger) oil 2 cups water 2 tablespoons white/ clear vinegar 2 teaspoons vanilla Combine dry ingredients in one bowl. Combine wet
ingredients together in one bowl. Mix both together and beat until smooth. Pour into sprayed pan. Annie says cupcakes won’t be very tall but will be very moist.
Dairy-free fluffy frosting
Use vegetable shortening, not Crisco or any shortening that’s non-hydrogenated (Annie says it slides off the cake due to formula change to make it non-hydrogenated – it’s OK for cupcakes but will slide off sides of cake), so use Kroger or other store, generic brand that says vegetable shortening/hydrogenated. See my tip below. Use any flavor extract you like. 1 ⠄2 cup vegetable shortening 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted 5 tablespoons water 1 ⠄2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 ⠄2 teaspoon almond extract (opt.) 1 ⠄4 teaspoon butter flavoring (Wilton brand since it’s a clear color) – opt.
Put everything in bowl. Mix on low to incorporate. Scrape, then turn on medium for eight minutes. This will incorporate air so don’t skip this step – otherwise you’ll wind up with sugary, not fluffy, frosting. Makes 4 cups. Refrigerates up to six weeks – bring to room temp and rewhip on low. Chocolate: Start adding cocoa powder to taste, and, if necessary, a bit more water. “Makes the fudgiest frosting.�
On the Web
For another good eggless recipe plus tips on making a box cake eggless/dairy-free, log onto my Web version of this column at www.communitypress.com or call 513-591-6163 and leave your name and address.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
Trouble with shortening: If you’ve experienced trouble with recipes using non-hydrogenated shortening (that makes it healthier), switch back to hydro-
genated. Seems like most trouble is with pie crusts/frostings. I know, I know, hydrogenated shortening is not as healthy as non-hydrogenated but really, it’s not something any of us eat on a daily basis. Annie and I agree you should use what makes your recipes taste and look great. Otherwise, you’re wasting money, time and compromising flavor and appearance.

Proper lawn care includes regular mowing of the lawn. And mowing the lawn produces grass clippings. So, what do you do with them? Well, don’t bag those clippings and send them to the landfills. Throw them back into the turf where they came from! There are many great reasons why you should be returning those grass clippings back to the turf and not bagging them: • Grass clippings do not contribute to thatch. Thatch is a brown spongy layer of material made up of dead grass stems and roots. • Clippings are 75 percent water and break down quickly. • Clippings contain nitrogen (P and K) and other nutrients as well. • As much as 50 percent of the nitrogen applied to the lawn is removed when grass clippings are collected. • Nutrients in the clippings are returned to the soil (can provide as much as 25 percent of your lawns total fertilizer needs). • Clippings add organic matter back to the soil and encourage microorganisms, resulting in water conservation and less fertilizer needed. • Less fertilizer needed means cost savings for you, and reduction of pollution in rain water runoff from your yard. • Clippings left on the lawn means no bagging and hauling⁄no additions to landfills. Also reduces mow-
Army National Guard Pvt. Nicholas J. Huddleston has graduated from basic
turf, make sure that you mow on a regular basis (sharp mower blade), and never removing more than 1 ⁄3 of the grass blade each time you mow. If the grass gets too high, adjust the mower height to remove 1⁄3 of the blade, and then mow again in two to three days, and again in two to three days until the desired height is reached. Do not bring overgrown grass back to the normal mowing height in one mowing! (Note: Other uses for clippings: grass clippings can also be recycled as a mulch in the garden, soil amendment or added to the compost pile, assuming no weed killers have been used - leave those on the lawn).

mostly in long-term sessions, where our instructor goes to their school once a week for a period of weeks, either to teach the students directly using movement, music, and drama, or to help classroom teachers learn to use performing arts to enhance their curriculum.” That number is in addition to the more than 100 students that have been served in Dramakinetics’ weekly classes since January 2008, when the organization began their programming. “Pam Shooner, our education director who is a certified intervention specialist for Ohio, has been doing all of the programming up to now. However, we’ve gotten to the point where we’ve had to turn some organizations down, simply because Pam’s not available because she’s already teaching somewhere else,” McSwiggin said. The $100,000 will be used to: • Hire an additional fulltime instructor, • Hire a full-time communications director, • Provide tuition reimbursement scholarships for
educators and other professionals who attend Dramakinetics’ continuing education/professional development workshops, such as the one being presented this summer through Xavier University, • Cover increased programming costs such as rent for classroom space for weekly classes and gas for community workshops, • Develop media materials for facilities that work with patients with Alzheimer’s-type dementia, so that caregivers can provide Dramakinetics programming to residents without the on-site help of Dramakinetics instructors. These additions to Dramakinetics’ programs will allow the organization to directly serve an additional 400 individuals per year in community workshops, and indirectly serve thousands of children and adults through the training and curriculum development provided to educators, therapists, and caregivers. A donation form can be found at www.dramakinetics.org, or by calling McSwiggin by phone at 513-598-8764 or by e-mail at dramakinetics@fuse.net.

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.
