Covedale yard sale returns By Kurt Backscheider
kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Richard Stoll said the Covedale Garden District Group caused quite a stir last year when it decided not to host the neighborhood’s annual yard sale. “We received all kinds of e-mails from people asking what happened to the yard sale,” said Stoll, a Covedale Garden District resident and member of the neighborhood group. “This year the yard sale is back by popular demand.” Covedale Garden District residents will have their yards and garages open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3. Streets involved in the sale include Relleum, Ralph, Western Hills, Heuwerth, Sumter, Leders, Mimosa, Beechmeadow, Colonial, Brunnerwood, Pasadena, Gables, Parkview, Willowood, Covedale, Sidney and Cleves Warsaw.
“We were bombarded with e-mails. People were really disappointed we weren’t having one … It must be a good yard sale.”
Richard Stoll Resident of the Covedale Garden District
Stoll said the neighborhood group hosted its first yard sale in 2004, and the event took place every fall until 2007. He said members of the neighborhood group decided not to put on the yard sale last year because they weren’t sure whether people had enough items still accumulated in their garages and basements to warrant a yard sale for a fifth straight year, but that decision proved to be a mistake. “We were bombarded with e-mails,” he
said. “People were really disappointed we weren’t having one.” He said the neighborhood group appreciates the feedback it receives from area residents about the events it organizes, such as the monthly litter cleanup and the summer yard and garden contest, and clearly the yard sale is an event residents enjoy. “It must be a good yard sale,” he said. Stoll said the past four yard sales have been very popular among garage sale shoppers, as traffic in the neighborhood has often been congested the day of the sale. He said 800 flyers are going to be distributed to garden district residents reminding them about this year’s sale and encouraging them to clean out their garages, attics and basements. The Covedale Garden District Group’s new garden district T-shirts will also be for sale at various locations throughout the neighborhood during this year’s yard sale.

The winners, who came from 20 area Catholic grade schools, were awarded scholarships for their eighth-grade year based on applications they submitted and essays they wrote about community service and Catholic education. The scholarship program was founded by Elder alumnus Butch Hubert, and has grown from awarding scholarships to students in 10 schools to students in 20 schools. All the winners were recently recognized at an awards ceremony in Elder’s Schaeper Center.

The Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners will likely vote to approve the zoning amendment this week to allow Mercy Health Partners to build a new hospital and medical office complex off North Bend Road near Interstate 74. At a public hearing on the zoning issue Wednesday, Sept. 16, all three county commissioners indicated they would be comfortable supporting a zone change from residential to planned office for the proposed 70-acre site in Green Township. “This project is clearly a home run for the west side of Hamilton County and the county itself,” said Commissioner Greg Hartmann. Green Township Trustee David Linnenberg said the hospital development is a huge project for the future of the township. He said the hospital would bring 1,200 jobs to the township and spur further economic development in Monfort Heights in the form of new shops and restaurants. “There is no reason to not be in support of this project,” he said. Green Township resident Mark Broering Sr., who has helped lead opposition to the project, said the citizens group still disagrees with the location of the new hospital, but it was difficult for people to take time off work to attend the hearing and speak against the plan. He said the opposition group is still considering placing a referendum issue on the ballot. If the commissioners approve the project the opposition group will have 30 days to collect signatures and submit a petition for a referendum. The issue cannot be placed on this November’s ballot since the filing deadline passed, but a referendum could be placed on the May 2010 ballot.

Eagle back in the garden Gannett News Service Thirteen-year-old friends Kelli Ridenour and Anna DeStefano died in a crash nine years ago and a memorial garden was built outside their school, Delhi Middle School. Watching over it: a $5,000 bronze eagle - the school’s mascot. That mascot was stolen two weeks ago by Kenneth May, a man who lives nearby, according to Delhi Township police. Doug Ridenour, Kelli’s father, who has long watched over the memorial garden, said May didn’t know what the eagle represented and that May was devastated to learn it was a memorial, because May’s sister was killed in a similar crash on Rybolt Road in the 1970s. “He didn’t know the correlation,” Ridenour said. “He is extremely remorseful.” Ridenour said he isn’t upset. He just wanted the eagle back. It was put back in place Thursday. Saturday morning he, his family, friends and even police officers
were planning to give the garden a makeover. The eagle has sat on its perch since April 2001, about a year after the girls were killed in a June 2000 crash on Hillside Avenue. The teen driver, who had her license just three days, had 11 young people in the car after picking everyone up for a pool party at her house. It was the last day of school. The driver drove fast, taking the car airborne on a twisty, rough road, before crashing. An outpouring of love followed the girls’ deaths. Fundraisers were held, with money raised for scholarships in the girls’ names, for charity and for the construction of the memorial garden. Ridenour looked for the right memorial until he found the eagle online. It cost $5,000, but he said the sentimental value is much higher because “it was a labor of love.” Ridenour often drives by the memorial, stopping every few months to visit the garden, a place he considers a happy reminder of his daughter because it represents how loved Kelli and
Anna were. When the eagle went missing on Aug. 27, Ridenour thought the school had taken it down to get cleaned. The school’s principal assumed Ridenour took it for the same purpose. When the two talked the following Monday morning, they realized it had been stolen. Delhi police put out an alert. A tip led them to the eagle. Theories abounded: somebody took it so they could sell it as scrap metal; kids had pulled a prank. Turned out neither was true: May, who attended the school in the 1970s, took it because he held a grudge against the principal then, Ridenour says police told him. May, 49, has been charged with felony theft. Police say he used a hacksaw to cut the statue from it’s perch on a fountain in front of the school on Foley Road, then put it a wheelbarrow and took it to his Anderson Ferry Road home. May failed to show up for court and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Matt Maple wheels mulch to be put down in the Delhi Middle School memorial garden Saturday. Maple was one of the volunteers who helped clean up the garden that feature's a large bronze eagle that was stolen; it was put back in place Sept. 19. Ridenour said he knows it must have been awful for May to learn he stole part of a family’s memory of a little girl who died just as his sis-
ter had. “He hadn’t tied two and two together,” Ridenour said. “The remorse came after he found out what the
eagle meant to the school and the families. “I don’t think he would have done it had he known,” Ridenour said.

If there is a pandemic, Galloway said public health officials will need assistance to organize and track the administering of the vaccine, which is where the Lions Club and similar service organizations have been asked to step up. “Public health officials would love to have some backup volunteers available,” he said. “Given the severity of the matter we ask all service clubs in the Tristate area to stand up and be counted.” He said there would be a wide range of volunteer opportunities available for
clubs to take action and follow suit,” said Bob Galloway, second vice president of the Lions Club. Galloway, a Green Township resident, said club members learned at the seminar that in addition to the typical flu virus, as many as 30 percent to 50 percent of people in Greater Cincinnati may contract the H1N1 virus sometime during the upcoming flu season. “That presents an obvious potential for havoc within our community,” he said. He said education, preparation and the vaccine, when it becomes available,

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

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

Foundation opens apparel company The Aubrey Rose Foundation has launched a new business unit – Writely Sew. The business is a fullservice apparel company with a duel mission: to provide edgy and exciting graphic designs, embroidery, imprinting services, and garment embellishments while returning 100 percent of its profits back to the Aubrey Rose Foundation. “We are tremendously excited about this venture, as it moves the foundation toward a long-range, selfsustaining business model,” said Nancy Hollenkamp, who founded the foundation along with Jerry Hol-
lenkamp. “For every imprinted or embroidered shirt, corporate apparel, or spirit wear item sold, all profits are returned to the foundation, which helps fund our mission.” The foundation assists families with children who have life-threatening medical conditions. In these situations, family unity – crucial to helping a child’s emotional and physical wellness – suffers. Often, the overwhelming effects of a critically ill child, burdensome expense of complex medical treatments, and great distances that many families travel to receive top-notch care can create a strain on
an otherwise strong family. The foundation works to relieve families from financial and emotional barriers by providing temporary assistance. “Our embroidery machines can create highvolume, highly detailed logos and our designed garment machine creates crisp, clear, color-fast designs up to 256 colors in almost any size needed. Whether companies or non-profits are looking for small runs or for ongoing line of logo wear, we are able to do the job,” said Jerry Hollenkamp . Founded in 2000, the Aubrey Rose Foundation was created in honor of

A 30-year-old Delhi Township man who reported his wife missing nearly a month ago is now charged in her death, accused of killing her, dismembering her body and then dumping her remains. Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said authorities don’t know how Kristan Strutz, 28, was killed, but said Strutz is the killer. A Hamilton County grand jury indicted Strutz last week on two charges of murder, tampering with evidence and gross abuse of a corpse. That indictment is in addition to a previous charge of tampering with evidence. Strutz faces a life prison term if convicted. “After he killed the mother of his children, he then dismembered her in an attempt to avoid detection,” Deters said. “It is unfortunate that this disgusting act does not permit us to seek the death penalty.” Ohio law outlines 10 circumstances in which the death penalty can be sought, including specification most often used: that an offender was committing, attempting to commit or fleeing immediately after a kidnapping, rape, aggravated arson, aggravated robbery or aggravated burglary. None apply to Kristan Strutz’s death. The murder charge was filed two ways, one alleging the homicide was premeditated, the other that the homicide happened during a felonious assault. The tampering charges allege that Strutz tampered with human remains and the saw used to dismember Kristan Strutz. Strutz was arrested Aug. 16 for tampering with evi-
dence and has remained in the Hamilton County jail on $1 million bond. Strutz’s lawyer, Simon Groner, said that Strutz denies killing his wife. “(Strutz) says he didn’t do it, that’s his right,” Deters said. “We’ll see him in court.” Deters outlined what happened when Kristan Strutz’s family learned she was missing. Deters said sometime late the night Friday, Aug. 14, Strutz killed his wife, then spent the night – while their three children slept nearby – dismembering her body with a saw. Once that was done, he dumped her remains – all but her midsection – in the Dumpster behind the former Target in Western Hills. Kristan Strutz’s family was immediately suspicious that something was wrong. She was supposed to go shopping Aug. 15 with her aunts for a bridal shower happening the next day. When she failed to show and failed to answer repeated phone calls, Kristan Strutz’s family went to her Greenwell Avenue home. There, they had to press Strutz to file a missing person’s report. He called 911, where he gave a rambling account of his day, in which he contradicted himself, raising the suspicious of Delhi officers. They asked to search his home, which he allowed. And the couple’s two vehicles were impounded, Deters said. In the search, Kristan Strutz’s midsection was recovered. Tissue and bone fragments were found in the yard. “He had no ability then to get rid of the last body part,” Deters said. “He ran out of time.”

Elder holds off pesky Lancers By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
The Elder High School football team lived up to its billing last Friday, downing a tenacious Lancers squad on the road, 23-13. Elder led 14-0 after a four-yard touchdown run by senior quarterback Mark Miller and a 10-yard touchdown run by junior running back Ben Coffaro. But La Salle, which entered the game 3-0, stormed back. Senior running back Zach Abbatiello hauled in a three-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Drew Kummer to cut the deficit to

Elder quarterback Mark Miller takes the snap and looks to unload against La Salle.
14-7. Following a 40-yard field goal by Elder senior kicker Tony Miliano, Kummer scored from two yards out to bring La Salle to within 17-13 at halftime. Elder, however, yielded nothing more. Senior Jake Fishburn picked off Kummer three times – including one on the Panther two-yard line with under three minutes to play – as La Salle was held scoreless after halftime. “In the second half, we just couldn’t get our offense going because of the turnovers,” La Salle head coach Tom Grippa said. The Elder offense, meanwhile, opened the second half with a touchdown drive, which culminated in a 15-yard reception by IUrecruit Tim O’Conner. It was a defensive struggle the rest of the way, as Fishburn’s interception slammed the door on La Salle’s comeback bid. Elder (4-0, 1-0) will embark on a tough twogame stretch in which it plays at Lakewood St. Edward Sept. 26, before traveling to St. Xavier (4-0) Oct. 2.

St. Xavier 43, Louisville Trinity 13
The Bombers led 27-0 after the first quarter and 43-0 by halftime. The 43 points allowed by Trinity were the most in one half in school history. St. Xavier senior Luke Massa was six-of-eight passing for 101 yards and three touchdowns – all before calling it a night late in the second quarter. Most of Massa’s yards came on a 60-yard touchdown strike to senior wide receiver Will Carroll. The Bombers amassed 307 total yards, 206 of which were on the ground. Senior running back Nate
Ley led the way with nine carries for 78 yards, while junior Daniel Braswell and sophomore Conor Hundley combined for 81 yards and two touchdowns. St. Xavier (4-0) plays at Highlands (5-0) Sept. 25.
Oak Hills 13, Mason 10
Oak Hills takes its 3-1 record on the road in week five to face Fairfield (2-2) at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25. In week four, Oak Hills kept Mason out of the end zone until the final two minutes of the Highlanders’ win over the Comets, 1310. Mason scored with 1:52 left in the fourth quarter to bring the game within three points but Oak Hills recovered the ensuing onside kick to ice the win.
The Highlanders took a 10-0 lead into halftime against Mason with a oneyard run from Cory Burgin and a 36-yard field goal from Charlie Montgomery. Montgomery added a 28-yard field goal in the third quarter to round out the scoring for Oak Hills. Senior quarterback Steve Gebing led Oak Hills with 63 yards on 17 carries. The Highlanders and Sycamore were ranked No. 9 in Cincinnati with 13 points each according to the Enquirer’s Division I Coaches’ Poll for week three.

Seton High School senior Noelle Schwarz plays near the net at Mount Notre Dame Sept. 15.
In 2008, the Seton High School volleyball team finished 7-16 overall and went winless in the GGCL. Well, 2008 is over. After dropping their season-opener at Notre Dame, the Saints won four of their next five matches, including a 3-2 decision (23-25, 2518, 25-14, 22-25, 15-11) against league-rival McAuley Sept. 10. “Winning the first GGCL match this year was a great feeling, and I was so excited for the girls,” said first-year head coach Sara Redman, who went 41-9 during her coaching tenure at Chami-
nade Julienne from 2006 to 2007. “But we are still taking it one day at a time. Getting the girls to believe is not easy, but we work on it every day.” Seton (4-4, 1-2 as of Sept. 18) blanked the reigning Division-II state champions, Padua Franciscan, 3-0 Sept. 12, before losing two conference matches to Mount Notre Dame and Ursuline – both of which advanced to the Division I Final Four last year. “We have played some great teams this year, and we can only hope to build and learn from them,” said Redman, who hopes to lead her team to a league title and a Final Four.
Several Saints have contributed to Seton’s turnaround, including seniors Emily Averbeck (L), Noelle Schwarz (OH) and Andrea Gentile (S), as well as junior Sarah Ritter (MH). “We have some great defensive players who can really keep balls alive when our team cannot put the ball down,” Redman said. For now, the Saints are focused on getting better as a team. “We are really trying to focus on our side of the court,” Redman said. “I want to see my team develop as a whole. Winning comes from a team – not just one or two players.”

Team-first Bombers aim for GCL title tmeale@communitypress.com
GEOFF BLANKENSHIP/CONTRIBUTOR
St. Xavier High School sophomore defender Ethan Frey uses his head to move the ball past Roger Bacon midfielder Mark Vetere (4) and into scoring position. St. Xavier won 6-0.
The St. Xavier High School soccer team – which includes John and Kevin Wegman and Ian Kerr of Cleves – has seen this script before. “It’s kind of a typical St. X soccer story,” head coach Henry Ahrens said. “We’re not really built around superstars. I don’t know if we have a legitimate D-I player; (senior midfielder) Chris Nam may be the closest we have to that. “So we’re building around the team concept. Everyone must play together. We don’t have the widest margin for error and can’t rely on talent to get by, so we have to work pretty hard.” The Bombers (4-3, 1-0 as of Sept. 16) are doing just that. They opened the season with a pair of 1-0 wins over Lexington Catholic and Toledo St.
John’s before dropping three straight matches to tough opponents; they lost 1-0 to Cleveland St. Ignatius, which is ranked No. 1 in Ohio and No. 3 nationally; they fell 2-0 to Lakota West, which is ranked No. 1 in the city; and they fell 4-1 to Fairfield, which is ranked No. 3 in the city. Ahrens was pleased with his team’s effort against St. Ignatius and Lakota West, which scored its first goal with just 15 minutes remaining in the game. “(The Lakota West game) was competitive,” he said. “We got the better end of it the first half, but they got the better end of it in the second half.” As for Fairfield, however, Ahrens was disappointed with St. X’s showing. “The one game where we weren’t happy with our effort was the Fairfield game,” he said. “After the Ignatius game, we said we’d make that our standard for

New byway highlights presidents
Fellowship Trained Sports Medicine Team Physicians
Organizers hope the scenic byway will help promote tourism and small business development by creating a common marketing plan and increasing tourism to the area. It then travels to Kilby Road into Harrison. Along the way, it passes Shawnee Lookout Park, Congress Green Cemetery, Harrison's Tomb and the Cincinnati Whitewater Canal Tunnel. The official ribbon cutting for the new byway will be 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, at the corner of Harrison Road and State Street in Harrison. The public is welcome. Local organizers, Bonita Porter of Miami University, Bev Meyer of the Cleves City Council and Mary Lou Smith of the Harrison Village Historical Society worked together with representatives from historic
societies, parks and businesses in Butler and Hamilton counties to create a driveable tour that would tell a story unique in Ohio. That story is about the development of the state as demonstrated in the lives of two presidents who lived in southwestern Ohio – William Henry Harrison and his grandson, Benjamin Harrison. Organizers hope the scenic byway will help promote tourism and small business development by creating a common marketing plan and increasing tourism to the area. The byway may also be useful to families planning weekend fun trips with a
brief educational focus such as canal building, covered bridges, utopian societies, European immigrations to the region or presidential history. Park sites are excellent places to learn about nature, including fossils.

Miami Township, North Bend and Cleves now have a part of a scenic byway going through its boundaries. After three years of effort, the Presidential Pathways Scenic Byway was officially designated by the Ohio Department of Transportation as an Ohio Scenic Byway on June 26. The driveable route of this new byway runs from the Ohio River Scenic Byway (U.S. 50) in Cleves to Hueston Woods just north of Oxford, emphasizing local historical sites, recreational opportunities and scenic views. According to a map, the route stars on Lawrenceburg Road near Shawnee Lookout Park, and travels to Dugan Gap Road to Cliff Road to Miami Avenue through North Bend and Cleves, turns onto State Road to get to U.S. 50.
“Our defense has been more of a strength than offense,” Ahrens said. “We’re still searching for leadership. Even though we’re a senior-heavy team, we don’t have a lot of experience. Some of our guys didn’t start last year or were playing JV. But I’ve really been impressed with the seniors’ desire to work hard.” Ahrens said the Bombers’ top priorities are gaining experience, improving their communication skills and getting more continuity on offense. Ranked No. 7 in the city, St. X is currently atop the Greater Catholic LeagueSouth division, as showdowns loom against La Salle (Sept. 19), at Moeller (Oct. 3) and at Elder (Oct. 17). The Bombers, which won the GCL in 2008, are hoping for a repeat performance. “We hope to be there at the end,” Ahrens said.
competition, and we didn’t uphold that against Fairfield.” In fact, the Bombers allowed more goals against Fairfield (four) than they have in their other six games combined (three). “I think we’re still finding our identity,” Ahrens said. “We’re playing some tough opponents, so there’s bound to be some ups and downs.” Since losing to Fairfield, the Bombers have won 3-0 over Badin and 6-0 over Roger Bacon. Leading St. X is senior Josh Kellam of Pleasant Ridge, who has posted shutouts in all four of the Bombers’ wins. “He made some big saves in our two wins to start the season,” Ahrens said. Also contributing are seniors Chris Nam (M), Jack Wells (M), Connor Sambrookes (D) of Symmes Township and Max Bucher (D).

Leave the building
Mike Davis does a great job singing, dancing and impersonating Elvis on stage, but enough of the singing, dancing and skirting around important issues facing our community. It’s time for Elvis to leave the building. Carl Wilson Bob Drive Delhi Township
Candidate no-show
In viewing the Sept. 9 meeting of the Delhi trustees, there was a lively debate on the issue of where to locate a new (east-side) firehouse in the event the township be awarded a grant. Considering this is an election year, the board president invited candidates for trustee this year to give their viewpoint. All there candidates were there except for Mary Brigham. I really wonder about the sincerity of any candidate who fails to attend such an important meeting. Jack Backs Halidonhill Lane Delhi Township
Brigham responds
In response to the letter directed at me from Kevin Rhodes, on Sept. 9 I was attending Meet the Teacher Night at my daughter’s school. Like many Delhi residents, I regularly watch the re-broadcast of the meetings. I realize that until recently, Rhodes didn’t pay any attention to me – it is an absolute lie for him to write that I have never attended one of the meetings. In his letter, he goes on to ask what I stand for. I believe in treating people with respect, I believe that Delhi Township needs a strategic plan for our economic survival, and I believe that our trustees should be advocates for our township. Electing trustees that can work together is crucial; I have never been a “rubber stamp,” the accurate term to describe me would be collaborative. If Rhodes were one of my students I’d be talking to him about bullying behavior. There are three types of bullying: verbal, physical and rumor, and over the years we’ve seen evidence of all three published in the Delhi Press. Delhi Township should be “The Place to Live & Work” on the west side, that’s what I stand for.

Honoring Toni Weikel
The west side has lost a valuable citizen. For years, Toni Weikel guided hundreds of youngsters, through bowling, to be good sports. She made sure that every player felt that they were winners and important in the game. She was there every week to encourage and cheer them on. When tempers flared, Toni stepped in quietly and differences were resolved without additional anger. At the end of each season every player received some sort of reward even if they did not excel as players. That recognition helped them to try harder. Players and parents and some grandparents in attendance were given a small treat on a regular basis. Toni managed to speak with each member and supporter every game. She was always willing to listen to any concern regarding her players, often times offering her sage advice garnered from her own years as parent and grandparent. Some health issues sidelined her for a short time, but soon as she was able she was back as a guiding force for her kids. Toni’s hand on your shoulder made you know if you needed her help in any way, just ask. Toni, you will be missed on the west side, but what you have imparted to each of us will remain for a lifetime.

Home City School taught Sayler Park kids
Eighty years ago the Home City School located at Parkland and Twain closed. It was designed by Samuel Hannaford and built by the village of Home City in 1883. The twostory brick building contained eight large classrooms and a Betty Kamuf lunch room in the Community basement. Press guest There was a columnist separate playground for boys and girls. In those days students walked or rode the street car to school. There was a hot lunch program, in the basement cafeteria. Food was prepared by the mothers. It cost 10 cents and consisted of pork chops, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, cabbage, applesauce, bread and milk Mr. Chidlaw was the principal. He was a former football player from Miami University and looked very scary to the students, but they all loved him. He was a well dressed man and stuck to business. You knew if you were called to his office it was not good. Hazeltine Overholt was a teacher there. She dealt with naughty students in a different way. If you failed to say yes ma’am or had other offenses she put your name down on a piece of paper that she kept in her waist band. Then you had to stay after school to do extra work. If that was not done to her liking you father got a note to discipline you at the old woodshed. She taught from 1890 to 1920.

Home City School was designed by Samuel Hannaford and built by the village of Home City in 1883. It closed 80 years ago. There was something mysterious about her. She always wore a large diamond on her left hand and dressed in old fashioned long dresses. The rumors were that she was engaged to George Faulkinburg, the son of the principal at Delhi School. George traveled with his job as an engineer for the B & O Railroad. He was in Mitchell, Ind., one day with a friend on a day off. They went swimming in the river. The friend got into trouble and called to George for help. George jumped in, but neither one came out. Kindergarten was in the morning for a half day; its purpose was to get kids used to school. They sat in a big round ring with Mrs. Wyler in the middle, telling them stories. Reading and writing was taught in first grade. In later grades students were taught art, spelling arithmetic, history, geography and penmanship. In 1900 an addition was added to the back of the school. There were two new classrooms, an auditorium and two basement rooms, and high

school grades were added. On the side of the school building was a small frame vocational building, possible a former school building. In the fifth grade students could start taking vocational classes. Marguerite Runck taught girls cooking sewing, and a male teacher taught the boys manual training. There was also manual training at night for parents. In the 28-year history of the school 313 students attended and 103 graduated. After annexation to the city in 1911 the Cincinnati School Board closed the Home City High School and left the grade school open. High school students were sent downtown to Hughes High School. They rode the street cars to Sedamsville, and caught the interurban there and went on to school. It took an hour and a half to get there. Students who could not afford the bus fare had to drop out. Betty Kamuf is a winner of Griffin Yeatman Award for Historical Preservation. She lives in Sayler Park. You can reach her at sp.column@fuse.net.
Pit, PAC, Pavilion and a new breed of purple in the community After the Elder-Colerain game, Coach Doug Ramsey wisely told his players, “Soak it up and enjoy it!” For many the ESPN mega media event was more than a game. It was an occasion to celebrate the west side. Perhaps we should reflect and ask, “How did this happen? It happened because long ago some very creative people started a tradition that continues to inspire us, challenge us and change us. The tradition transformed a pie-in-the-sky idea into The Pit. Built by volunteers, it is now a symbol of our west-side, self-sufficient nature. USA Today named it one of the best places to watch a high school football game. Citing its intimate setting, dug into Price Hill, backyards border the stadium, it’s acknowledged that the neighborhood is what makes The Pit special. The Panther Pavilion, unwittingly referred to by some as the deck behind the house on Regina, is an expression of a desire to improve the neighborhood and The Pit. Enjoyed by many, it’s the new best seat in the house. This
pie-in-the-sky idea afforded Purple Properties the needed capital to renovate the Regina home. Now its current occupants represent a new breed Jim Grawe of purple. A from Community physician out of town, lookPress guest ing for a football columnist home for his two sons, was attracted to the idea of watching them play from the Pavilion. The Pavilion enhances the Pit’s emotional relationship with the Elder community and helps to validate Price Hill as a unique and authentic place. So much so that it is rumored, falsely I might add, that Purple Properties is under investigation by the Ohio High School Athletic Association for recruiting violations. For the record, the Pavilion endeavor is not about the game. It’s about believing in a tradition, personalizing it and creatively passing it on. But now, especially that the pie-in-the-sky PAC is a reality, to

what will we aim our sights? Will the Purple Nation reclaim its homeland or continue to chant “We’re from Price Hill … ” and then drive home toward the westside frontier of West Harrison and Bright, Ind.? What is Price Hill’s future? And how will it reflect on the Purple Nation? Will there be more vacant lots, abandoned homes and multilevel parking garages to accommodate the crowd on game day? Or will this new breed in turn inspire us to create a little Wrigleyville with sidewalk cafes and luxury condominiums with rooftop gardens, balconies and more Pavilions from which to watch the game? Will we brag about how we arrived hours early and found a choice parking space? Or will more neighbors tailgate in their front yards and simply walk to the game? Will we say, “Its just high school! It’s just a game!” and concede that a new Price Hill is a piein-the-sky idea? Or will we continue to strive for the higher things? Jim Grawe is a founding member of Purple Properties LLC.

Why love treats us the way it does surprised to find out what’s underneath love’s charming exterior, and to know it when it’s stark naked and demystified. As Mason notes, over the years love sometimes pulls the rug out from under us, turns the world upside down, or throws a pail of cold water in our faces and says, “You haven’t learned about me yet!” It demands the very best we can offer. And at other times that are just glorious, love teaches us it is the most exquisite thing in the world. When love is demystified and lives with us in the ordinary of every day, it is bothersome at first. We can even become disappointed and disillusioned and start looking for the mystified version again. We’re all seduced at times by the French proverb, “Only the beginnings of love are beautiful” But true love has its own purpose in being so demanding. Its purpose is to gradually transform us and turn us into genuine lovers. That’s why it employs such drastic strategies: asking us to forgive over and over again; to be patient with each other and ourselves; to

communicate instead of pouting or keeping a cool distance. Later in life, and especially in the next, love will take off its earthly mask and become further demystified. We will recognize that, as the scriptures say, “God is
love,” and that all along he was growing us and teaching us what true love means. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@ communitypress.com or contact

its clothes, stretched out on our bed while eating an apple, and announced it was here to stay. Suddenly, this elusive and mysterious thing called love was not so elusive or hidden. Rather, it became that which cannot be gotten rid of (unless we made the decision to throw it out.) What was glamorous and exciting and sexy now has its days when it is anything but all that. What was a dream is now here and asking daily to be listened to. In “The Mystery of Marriage,” author Mike Mason notes, “The situation with love, now that one is married, becomes comparable to the philosophical question about the dog chasing the car - “What happens if he catches it?” Marriage faces spouses with the same question, “What do you do with love once you have finally caught it?” In a sense, he opines, marriage is a trap. A trap to get us to be brave enough to live with love day after day and to learn what love really is. For God knows, we misunderstand love. Spouses quickly become
0000358276
When two people marry, one of the greatest mysteries of life is gradually demystified before their eyes. For when we marry, love itself comes to live with us. As children we learned there was something called love. Parents, older siblings, schoolmates, songs and movies spoke of it. Often they seemed to imply that love actually was sexuality. We didn’t understand. Yet, since we were old enough to know love existed, and then soon felt its attraction and enchantment we looked for love, too. After many futile relationships, heartaches, and years of searching, we believed we found true love with a special person. It must be true love, we thought, because of the thrilling way it made us feel. We were in love! Our wedding was beautiful, our honeymoon was spent somewhere with our bodies in each other’s arms, and then we moved into a little home of our own. When we moved in, love moved in with us - though we didn’t realize all its intentions. One day we were amazed when love took off

Get your hands on homemade foaming soap With the school year in full swing and flu season upon us, we’re all into the “wash your hands often� mode. I thought it would be good to share my recipe for homemade foaming soap. It’s actually been around a while but is sure timely today. Plus by making your own foaming soap, you’ll save money and be doing your part to be “green.� Let the kids help – they’ll have fun, and be more apt
to wash their little hands if they’ve made their own soap.
Rita’s homemade foaming soap
The bonus? More suds with less soap!

Foaming hand soap:
made for foaming hand soap. I get mine from the dollar store, and after they’re empty I make my own as follows: Wash dispenser well. Rinse with clear vinegar. Rinse again and let drain. The vinegar helps kill any bacteria that may be in the container.
Make your soap:
The trick is in the dispenser. You have to use one

Foaming and other soaps made with my friend Carol Vanover. of favorite liquid hand soap. Anti-bacterial or not – you choose. I use a clear liquid soap and let the kids color it slightly with food coloring and add a few drops essential oil (available from health food stores) to it. Both the coloring and oil are optional. Use a whisk to mix gently. Let sit a few minutes to settle, then pour into your container. Violà ! Your own foaming hand soap.

This is also good in cream horns, Twinkie-like cakes, etc. Beat together: 1

Jane Cervantes is known as the cake and truffle lady and Carolyn Grieme is a Northern Kentucky reader, known as the gingerbread house queen, and good friend. They both use this for their cream puffs.
And while you’re at it, go ahead and make a batch of foaming dishwashing detergent. Again, use a dispenser specifically made for this. Follow instructions above for cleaning, etc. The proportions are a bit different: 11⠄3 cups good quality water to 6 to 8 tablespoons dishwashing liquid (start with 6, check to see how it’s working, and add more if needed), plus 2 tablespoons clear vinegar (optional) to cut the grease.

Tips from readers
From Mark A. regarding “parve� products. Mark says: “The definition of “parve� (or “pareve�) in your column was only half right. “Pareve foods are prepared without meat, milk, or their derivatives and may therefore be eaten with both meat and dairy dishes according to the laws of kashrut. “No dairy is correct, but no meat either. Meat can be sneaky; gelatin made from cattle hooves, for instance, is not pareve (probably not kosher either, but that’s beside the point).�
Cake tips from Martha
I’m taking a cake decorating class at Grant School in Clermont County. Martha Buckler is my teacher and she shared some valuable tips in last night’s class: • Bake cakes and quickbreads at 325 degrees and not at 350 degrees as most recipes state. You’ll have to bake them longer but the lower temperature allows them to bake all the way through to the middle without sinking. Especially true for very large cakes. • To smooth white or pastel color frosting, dip spatula in warm water and smooth over cake. Smooth top first, then sides. Don’t use on chocolate or deeply colored icing as this will leave streaks and spots. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author.

You can’t get much greener than composting
By Chris Sweigard of
Wild Birds Unlimitedd® Hey, did you know? House Sparrows, sometimes called ‘Chippies,’ have the ability to escape a predator by swimming in or under water.

It’s almost like a science project, and the equation is: carbon + nitrogen + water + air = COMPOST!
What can I compost?
Leaves, grass clippings, plant refuse, wood chips, sod, livestock manures, vegetative kitchen scraps, weeds, straw, pine needles, dead plants, aquarium water/algae and plants, some newspapers, wood ash, egg shells, coffee grounds and lots more. Stay away from meat, bones, dairy products, cat/dog feces, cooking oils, things sprayed with pesticides, even insects and diseased plants.
Locating compost pile
Find an out of sight area that is well-drained, away
from tree roots, not in the shade, and accessible with a garden hose. Remove any sod underneath so the pile will be in direct contact with the soil.
Do I need a compost bin?
Composting does not require a bin, but bins do help to keep the pile neat and easier to handle. Bins need to be at least 3-by-3-by-3 feet to heat properly. A 5-by-5-by-5 foot bin is a much nicer size to work with. Ready made bins are available, or can be made with concrete blocks, chicken wire, fencing, wooden slats, etc. The sides must be designed to allow proper air flow to the pile. You may even consider the compost tumblers (best for smaller

Art exhibit celebrates Sisters of Charity The Studio San Giuseppe Art Gallery at the College of Mount St. Joseph now has on exhibit “Visual Charity: Celebrating Sisters of Charity in Art, Architecture &
Artifact.” The exhibit, which runs through Oct. 25, showcases the arts connection between the Sisters of Charity and the College of Mount St.
Joseph. Highlights of the exhibit include art works by sisters who were art professors and the history of the Mount’s Mater Dei Chapel. Selected items are on loan from the permanent collection of the Sisters of Charity. The architectural design of the art building and the chapel were strongly influenced by Sister Augusta Zimmer, who taught fine art and art history courses at the college. The artwork gracing the Mater Dei Chapel comes from the hearts and hands of Sister Augusta Zimmer and her art students. An internationally known artist of her time, she empowered her stu-
dents to capture a “spiritual message” when creating the chapel’s works of art. The year 2009 will mark the anniversary of the founding of the American Sisters of Charity by St. Elizabeth Seton in Emmitsburg, Md. This is a significant event both for the Sisters of Charity and for the American Catholic Church, since the Sisters of Charity were the first active congregation of women religious founded in the United States, as well as the largest community to serve our country and church during the entire antebellum period. “The Sisters of Charity are very pleased and excited
to join with Studio San Giuseppe in presenting this exhibit as part of our 200th anniversary celebration. We have always considered appreciation for beauty and an appreciation of the arts an important part of education, and we welcome this opportunity to share some of the treasures of our history,” said Judith Metz, S.C. , archivist for the Sisters of Charity. Studio San Giuseppe’s gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays, 1 p.m. -5 p.m. For more information, call Studio San Giuseppe at 244-4314.

Nature Notes
What? You don’t have a compost pile? Well, let’s take a look at how you can get started! Composting is a practical and convenient way to handle yard trimmings such as leaves, excess grass, chipped brush, plant cuttings, etc., and it’s a better option than sending this yard waste to the landfills. The results of your composting efforts will be one of the best soil amendments that no money can buy. By combining your yard trimmings and other clean yard or vegetable wastes with soil or garden fertilizer (synthetic or natural), keeping the pile properly moistened and turned, the compost pile begins to heat and cook as the bacteria and fungi break down the ingredients.
0000358192 58192
With summer a fading memory and fall right in our face, you’ll soon be finding yourself with a nice collection of spent flowers, frosted annual and perennial foliage, falling leaves, maybe a few extra grass clippings – all perfect additions for the compost pile.

Wildlife corridor receives land donation Western Wildlife Corridor Inc. has completed a conservation easement agreement with John and Sylvia Obermeyer to protect a portion of their private family homestead in Miami Township. A conservation easement places restrictions on future development of quality natural greenspace areas, while allowing the property owner to retain ownership. In some cases, the owner can receive tax benefits. The Obermeyer family raised their children to appreciate the outdoors and wanted to protect the property their family grew up on. The seven-acre parcel is on Cliff Road in Miami Township and includes a large area of mature forest,
and a pond and meadow. It is home to a variety of native wildlife and many native plants. “I'm especially excited about protecting a place with such diverse habitat – a large area of mature forest plus, as bonuses, a pond and a meadow,� said Tim Sisson, president of the Western Wildlife Corridor. “This is exactly the type of property that WWC was founded to protect. We couldn't be happier.� This newly protected native habitat is close to Hamilton County Park District's Shawnee Lookout, and is a valuable addition to the “emerald chain of nature preserves� envisioned by Western Wildlife
Corridor supporters. The organization may arrange for hikes to enjoy the property sometime in the future, but it would not be open to the public at any other time. Habitat restoration projects may also be arranged to remove honeysuckle and other invasive plants and volunteers will be needed for that. Western Wildlife Corridor places strong emphasis on seeking out appropriate greenspace to protect and on restoring native habitat in its nature preserves, to maintain the quality and health of native species found. The corridor group accepts donations of land or

gers on his right hand. Playing bottleneck – and exploring the chordal tunings that accompany the style – offered Landreth a chance to find his own voice on the instrument. His trademark slur, he says, emanates from time spent as a schoolboy trumpeter. “The phrasing that comes about from having to take a breath has its own warmth – to me that makes it very vocal. “And by slurring you make the most of the phrase and it ends up behind the beat: you anticipate it sometimes and you’re on the back of it other times. “You elongate even that one beat. If something tastes really good, you can either just scarf it down or you can take your time and reeeaaaaallly stretch the
moment.” “From the Reach,” Sonny Landreth’s ninth album, is the first to be released on his own Landfall label. On it, the Louisianabased slide guitar player collaborates with five of the greatest guitar players – Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Robben Ford, Eric Johnson and Vince Gill. Also making on the album is legendary New Orleans pianist and singer Dr. John and iconic Gulf Coast troubadour Jimmy Buffett. “I’ve wanted to make this kind of record for a long time – to do an entire album that would feature some of my favorite players as special guests,” said Landreth, who’s as articulate as he is virtuosic. “And after all these years, I’ve gotten to become

Landreth is an extremely competent player in the conventional form, but is most well-known for his signature slide playing. Landreth has developed a technique where he also frets notes and plays chords and chord fragments behind the slide while he plays. He plays with the slide on his little finger so that his other fingers have more room to fret behind the slide.

Library had many superstars this summer More than 28,000 readers of all ages – preschoolers, children, teens, parents, grandparents, and other adults – discovered the pleasures of reading together during the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County’s 36th annual Summer Reading program. From June 1 to July 31, they explored the riches of books, attended fun programs, and won prizes just for having fun reading. This summer’s “Creature Feature” theme captured the imaginations of preschoolers, children, and teens. They encountered creatures of all kinds between the covers of books and inperson at the Library’s creepy crawly programs like “Wildlife Comes to You” with the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. Upon completing the final level of the program, more than 17,000 of these sensational summer readers earned the treasured book prize and proudly displayed their “A Library Superstar Lives Here” yard signs for all to see. Together, the family experienced the power of the public library’s Summer

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.

Bed & Breakfast
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…
