Neighbors Who Care
Maybe they delivered a home-cooked meal when you were under the weather, or watched your children while you ran a quick errand, or helped you with yard work. They are Neighbors Who Care, and we think they deserve recognition. Again this year, the Price Hill Press will devote one of our holiday issues to honoring those in the community who have given a bit of themselves to make the lives of others better. No deed is too small (or too large). If you know a Neighbor Who Cares, tell us about them. You can nominate by sending an e-mail to memral@communitypress.com, or by regular mail to Marc Emral, Price Hill Press, 5556 Cheviot Road, Cincinnati, 45247. Include your name, address and phone number, as well as their name.

King, queen active on the hill By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
With everything Jim and Eileen Schenk do for the neighborhood, there is no question they deserve to be king and queen for a day. The Price Hill couple, who will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in January, have been selected to be the king and queen of this year’s Price Hill Thanksgiving Day Parade, which begins at 10 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 26. “It was a pleasant surprise,” Mrs. Schenk said about learning of the honor. “And then my next thought was, ‘I hope it’s not a really cold day.’” She said the annual parade is a great event for the community, and she and her husband fondly remember walking their children up to St. Lawrence Church to watch the parade and then partake in the festivities inside the church afterward. They’ve also participated in the parade a couple of times, riding on floats, she said. Mr. Schenk said although their children are now grown and have children of their own, he and his wife still watch the parade from in
front of St. Lawrence. “Now we just drag our neighbors along,” he said. Mrs. Schenk is a fourth-generation Price Hill resident. In fact, she lived on the same street she does now for a short time right after she was born. The couple have lived in their Enright Avenue home for nearly 36 years, and are the founders of the Enright Ridge Urban Eco-village on their street. The nonprofit group consists of about 40 neighbors who are striving to make their homes energy efficient and lead sustainable lives. The Schenks also established the Imago Earth Center right up the street from their home, have helped start an urban eco-village on McPherson Avenue, and Mrs. Schenk was the original founder of Price Hill Will. Mr. Schenk worked to get the Western Wildlife Corridor started as well. “I like living in the greenest neighborhood in Cincinnati,” he said. Mrs. Schenk their shared passion for social work, their dedication to helping the environment and their love for one another and their children and grandchildren

The couple have lived in their home on Enright Avenue for nearly 36 years. are the reasons they have been happily married for close to 40 years. “He’s a really neat guy and he’s almost as intelligent as I am,” she joked. She said they are proud to call Price Hill home because they feel grounded by the strong sense of
community and they are excited about the neighborhood’s future. “I think people will be returning to these older neighborhoods like Price Hill in great numbers,” she said. “I can’t imagine that there’s anything better than living in Price Hill.”

Henry Knopf is in a real tough spot. The holidays approach more quickly with each passing day, and Knopf, president of the Manna Outreach food pantry, is struggling to stock enough food to help families in need. “It’s horrible,” he said. “I don’t know what we’re going to do. I have no clue.” He said the slow economy has caused more and more families to rely upon Manna Outreach, which operates its pantry from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Wednesday and noon to 1 p.m. the third and fourth Saturday of every month in an old church on McPherson Avenue in Price Hill. “Our numbers have increased phenomenally in the past year,” he said. “We’ve increased by more than 50 percent.” He said this time last year the pantry was providing food and supplies to about 300 families each month. This year they are serving around 500 families every month. Knopf said he’ll need a combination at least 300 hams, turkeys and large chickens if he wants to
be able to help everyone for Thanksgiving. “I’ll pick up chickens, hams and turkeys from whomever is willing to donate, and I’ll pick them up whenever,” he said. Manna could also use donations of canned vegetables and any type of meat, he said. Every week it seems donated food and supplies come in one door and get served immediately to families out another door. The pantry, which serves families living in the 45204, 45205 and 45238 ZIP codes, also welcomes any monetary donations, Knopf said. He said the $3,800 they collected from a fundraiser in September and the $1,900 the pantry received from the annual Crop Walk in October has already been spent to purchase food. “Money is always welcome,” he said. “As soon as Thanksgiving is over we have to turn around and start getting ready for Christmas.” Knopf said these trying times really test one’s faith, and his is strong. “I just have to keep believing in the future and trust God will provide us,” he said. Anyone who would like to donate can call Knopf at 2189582 for more information.

Holiday spirit
Elijah-Isaiah Kennedy, a student at Roberts Paideia Academy, stands next to the winning postcard designs during the awards ceremony the Price Hill Will Arts Community Action Team recently hosted for its annual Elementary Postcard Contest. This year, students from St. Dominic School, Roberts Paideia and St. William School submitted entries, and six winners were chosen from each school. Each child was presented with a goody bag donated by John R. Green Co. and their designs were also turned into holiday postcard sets. The postcards can be purchased at Price Hill businesses as well as Price Hill Will. The postcard set includes six designs and they are $4 for a set, or $6 for two sets. All proceeds will go to the continuation of arts programming in the Price Hill community. Call Ray at Price Hill Will for more information at 251-3800, ext. 101.

The Price Hill branch of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is celebrating its 100th anniversary on Saturday, Nov. 28. forget the librarian kicking him out of the building for talking too loud, the way the flagpole doubled as a nice swing for the children in the neighborhood and how the front lawn often became the setting for a pickup football game. “That is, of course, if the crabby old librarian had gone home,” he said jokingly. He said the neighborhood was amazed when they learned the French

Renaissance style brick and limestone building was funded by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation. “We thought if Andrew Carnegie, this wealthy steel man, gave a library to Price Hill he must have really liked us,” Schmolt said. The Price Hill branch opened to the community Nov. 27, 1909. It was one of nine branch libraries in the region whose construction was funded by Carnegie’s foundation. The branch quickly became an integral part of the neighborhood, circulating 47,412 books and issuing 1,677 library cards within the first eight months it was open.
Elvia Tuttle, manager of the Price Hill branch, said the upcoming anniversary celebration includes the unveiling of a centennial mural created by the branch’s teen art club, a display of photographs from throughout the library’s history, tours of the building, a visit from Andrew Carnegie, a display of a community quilt and a scrapbook of testimonials from Price Hill residents filled with memories of the branch’s early days. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Tuttle said. “We are going to be celebrating the library’s role in the Price Hill community and Andrew Carnegie’s legacy.”

Larry Schmolt and Betty Wagner said they have vivid memories of walking with their grade school classmates to the Price Hill Branch Library on nice school days. “Who can forget being marched to the Price Hill library by their fourth-grade teacher and being taught the Dewey Decimal system by the spinster librarian,” recalls Schmolt, coordinator of the Price Hill Historical Society. He and Wagner, treasurer of the historical society, are members of a committee who have been planning celebrations for the library’s 100th anniversary. The branch, perched atop the hill at Purcell and Warsaw avenues, has been celebrating a century of service to the community throughout the year, and will officially mark its 100th birthday at an anniversary open house from 2-5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 28. Wagner said the library’s large front yard has always been beautifully maintained, and she remembers her mother often stopping she and her siblings in front of the library as they walked down Warsaw Avenue to take photographs of them in front of the wellmanicured lawn and building. She said she’ll also always remember walking to the library with her class from St. Lawrence School to get their library cards. “That was a big day for all of us,” she said. Schmolt said he’ll never

• HIGH SCHOOL PLACEMENT TEST -
Gannett News Service A February deal designed to revive a West Price Hill bar and live music venue has hit a major sour note, spawning dueling lawsuits over the $300,000 deal and leaving the fate of the Blue Note Café in question. The Blue Note – which hosted noted bands including The Guess Who, America and Shooting Star in its 20 years – was owned by Douglas Gundrum of Delhi Township and was a popular West side night spot. Gundrum notes in his lawsuit that he was approached in the fall of 2008 by Dustin Sallee and his company, SEC, with an offer to buy the Blue Note. Sallee is an owner of Covington’s Strasse Haus bar and restaurant that offers live music. Gundrum, who owned the Blue Note for 18 years, reluctantly sold because the price was too good to refuse – $290,000 for the Blue Note assets and $4,500 monthly rent on his building in the 4500 block of East Eighth Street. After Sallee borrowed big money from relatives, the deal was finalized and consummated Feb. 15 amid much media attention. He was now the owner of the business that sported two stages and four bars. Three days later, Sallee
opened for business. After that, little went right for either side. Sallee and SEC operated the new bar for six weeks. Gundrum’s suit accused Sallee in those weeks of focusing not on the bar but of trying to cancel the sale. Neither Sallee nor Gundrum could be reached. The attorneys involved either didn’t return calls or wouldn’t comment. Sallee contacted “the Cincinnati Building Department and Board of Health, seeking to have the business closed,” Gundrum’s suit notes. “(Sallee) fired the staff and cleared all alcohol out of the building … refused to provide any financial, sales or sales tax information and refused to pay rent, utilities or sales tax.” Perhaps most importantly, Gundrum noted, Sallee stopped cooperating in the attempt to transfer the bar’s liquor license from Gundrum to Sallee. Gundrum’s suit seeks $480,000 from Sallee – the original $290,000 for the sale as well as money Gundrum would have made or now has lost as a result of Sallee not keeping the bar open. The case is set for trial in March before Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Steve Martin.

New restaurant to help stock local food bank Chick-fil-A will open its newest Cincinnati standalone restaurant at 6475 Glenway Ave. Nov. 19, hoping to help stock the shelves of a community food bank as the holiday season nears. Anyone bringing two non-perishable food items to the new Chick-fil-A between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Nov. 19 will receive a coupon good for a free Chick-fil-A sandwich.

helping our friends and neighbors who might need a hand this holiday season.” The Lower Price Hill Community Pantry, 2104 St. Michael St., is struggling to meet an increasing demand as the economy continues to take a toll both on those in need and on the ability of others to donate. “We are so grateful for this food collection effort. It is extremely important to our community,” said Jen Walter, director of the Lower Price Hill Community School
reflects Chick-fil-A Operator/Owner Kenny Wilson's desire to quickly have a positive impact on the community surrounding the new restaurant. “As we celebrate a dream come true for us with the grand opening of this new Chick-fil-A location, we realize there are many who are struggling to put food on the table this time of year,” said Kenny Wilson, the store’s operator. “This is a great opportunity to thank our community for the warm welcome by
When the Chick-fil-A restaurant opens at 6 a.m. Nov. 19, 100 people will win a oneyear supply of free Chick-fil-A Meals (52 certificates). The line begins forming 24 hours before the grand opening. The first 100 in line will win. If there are more than 100 people by 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 18, all 100 spots will be determined by a raffle. Cincinnati native Kenny Wilson will operate the new restaurant. A University of Cincinnati graduate, Wilson
worked for Procter & Gamble for more than 20 years before joining Chick-fil-A. He and his wife, Kelly, have four children. Wilson has been active in his community throughout his career, receiving awards from The United Way for his fundraising efforts, being named “Mentor of the Year” by INROADS of Greater Cincinnati/Dayton and being recognized with the YMCA’s Community Achiever Award. He has served on the University of Cincinnati’s College of Business Alumni Board of
Directors, CityCURE Board of Directors and Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy district diversity committee. The new Chick-fil-A features a 4,287-square-foot interior that seats 100 and has warm colors and wood accents as well as an indoor play area for children that includes an interactive section for toddlers and a convenient, award-winning drive-through. The new restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., serving a full breakfast menu until 10:30 a.m.
which runs the food pantry. “We are seeing greater numbers of those needing help but fewer donations. That is not a good equation. These have been difficult times for our neighborhood in general so the holidays
only increase the need.” Food Bank volunteers will be on hand at the Chick-filA restaurant between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on grand opening day on Nov. 19 to collect non-perishable food items.
Walter said that in addition to stocking the shelves with the donated items, they will also be used to assemble holiday meal baskets for those who may be unable to travel to the food pantry location.

A new company, Capital Electric, was hired to tie the lights to the control boxes and link them to the traffic cameras operated by Artimis, which helps with traffic control on Greater Cincinnati’s highways. Although ODOT officials anticipate increased police enforcement next week to ensure that drivers heed the new signals, a spokesman for Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis said he “could find no directives” calling for closer-than-usual monitoring by deputies. Cincinnati Police spokesmen said Thursday they were uncertain whether their officers plan any extra enforcement activities. Those caught disobeying the metered traffic lights will be penalized as if running or disobeying any red light, Smigielski said.

Studies show that ramp metering can reduce crashes, improve travel speeds and create a more uniform traffic flow, according to Sharon Smigielski, a spokeswoman for ODOT. The lights are activated by sensors embedded in the pavement on the ramps and the freeway near the ramps, according to ODOT. The lights change from green to red, allowing one vehicle onto the interstate at a time. For two-lane ramps, drivers in the left lane should obey the signal on the left side and drivers in the right lane obey signals on the right side.

Elder downs St. X, awaits Anderson
By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
Watch out, Ohio. The midseason swoon is over. The Elder High School football team battered St. Xavier 17-14 in the Division I Regional Semifinal at Nippert Stadium Nov. 14. It was the Panthers’ fourth straight victory. “It’s great to get a win and move on,” Elder head coach Doug Ramsey said. The Panthers raced out to a 17-0 lead and used a bend-but-don’t-break defense to hold the Bombers scoreless through three quarters. Elder junior running back Ben Coffaro scored on a 44-yard scamper to give his team a 7-0 lead. Coffaro rushed 30 times – many of which were out of the Wildcat formation – for 125 yards. He also led Elder with four receptions for 64 yards. “That’s something we added as a wrinkle,” senior quarterback Mark Miller said of the Wildcat. Well, it wrinkled just fine. A 37-yard field goal by all-state kicker Tony Miliano propelled the Panthers to a 10-0 halftime lead, and wideout Tim O’Conner put the game out of reach with an 18-yard, brokentackle touchdown catch in the third quarter; he finished with three receptions for 31 yards and a score. The St. X offense, however, came alive in the fourth quarter and scored 14 points in less than six minutes. “It almost got away at the end,” Ramsey said. But it didn’t. The Panthers converted a fourth-and-1 pass from Miller to senior tight end Alex Welch for six yards with 42 seconds remaining to seal the win. “That was a GCL game,” Ramsey said. “No one ever quits.” Miller finished 15-of-19 passing for 150 yards and one touchdown.

Elder won 17-7. added 140 on the ground. “We knew we needed a strong balance,” Ramsey said. Elder’s defense, meanwhile, held St. X to 96 rushing yards; it was only the second time this season that St. X failed to reach the century mark. “Our defense played well,” Ramsey said. With the win, the Panthers avenged a regularseason loss to St. X, a game in which O’Conner injured his wrist after hauling in a 36-yard catch on Elder’s first play from scrimmage. The Panthers lost that game 17-7 and fell 35-13 the following week to Moeller at The Pit. But they’ve won four games since, the last two of which were fueled by O’Conner’s postseason return.

Elder High School senior quarterback Mark Miller looks to scramble as protection breaks down against St. X. Middletown 41-20. A bit of history is on Elder’s side. Last Saturday marked the fourth time this decade that Elder and St. X have met in the postseason. The winners of the previous
three showdowns all advanced to the state title game. The Panthers, of course, also have talent on their side. St. X hadn’t lost in the playoffs since 2006, and
Elder hadn’t beaten the Bombers in the postseason since 2002. A return to Canton seems possible – if not probable. “We have the experience,” Miller said. “We know what to expect.”
Lions fall to Thomas More, prepare for playoffs By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
One win away from an undefeated regular season, the Mount St. Joseph football team fell 42-17 in the 14th annual Bridge Bowl Nov. 14. Thomas More leads the all-time series 11-3. Mount St. Joe, which finishes the regular season 91, won the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference title for the fourth time in the last six years. They defeated Wilmington, Lakeland, Rose-Hulman, Bluffton, Anderson, Hanover, Franklin, Manchester and Defiance before falling to Thomas More. The Lions entered the week ranked 17th in the country in the American Football Coaches Association Division III Poll and 25th in the D3Football.com Top 25 Poll.
Mount Union College, located in Alliance, Ohio, is tops in both polls. The Lions now prepare for the postseason; they open tournament play Nov. 21 against a team to be determined. Despite the loss to Thomas More, head coach Rod Huber has been particularly impressed with the way his team has rebounded from a 5-5 season in 2008. “This team has something I can’t coach,” Huber said. “They’ve got chemistry. They care about each other and their coaches. We’ve got some players, but this is not an overly athletic team. It’s a bunch of blue-collar guys who work hard.” Mount St. Joe features an explosive pro-style offense that is scoring 35.8 points per game with an average margin of victory of 16.6. The Lions are led by jun-
ior quarterback Craig Mustard (Mason), who is completing 63.4 percent of his passes and has thrown for 2,290 yards – an average of 254.4 yards per game – and 17 touchdowns. His favorite target has been junior wide receiver Derick Tabar, who leads the team in catches (43), yards (921) and yards per catch (21.4). He is also tops in the HCAC in touchdown receptions (13). “Derick is capable of making the first guy miss and taking it to the house on every touch,” Huber said. “(Mustard and Tabar) really have a special feel for each other.” On the ground, junior running back Jake Davis (Anderson) is averaging 4.8 yards per carry and leads the team in yards (803) and touchdowns (12); he is first in the HCAC in yards per game with 89.2.
“He’s done a great job,” Huber said. Davis has been spelled by Noah Joseph (Atlanta), who is second on the team with 600 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. The offensive line – which is led by seniors Anthony Walsh (Moeller) and Chris Harrison (Oak Hills) – has allowed just five sacks this season. Huber also praised the line work of sophomore Joe Noble (Colerain) and sophomore tight end Rob Blundred (Oak Hills). Defensively, the Lions are yielding nearly 20 points per game, but they have forced 10 interceptions, including two each by freshman defensive back Jerrick Boykin (Glen Este) and senior defensive back Ryan Smithmeyer (Elder). The front seven is led primarily by Elder and Oak Hills products. Junior linebacker Erik Prosser (Oak
Hills) leads the team in tackles (95), senior defensive lineman Alex Harbin (Elder) is first in tackles for loss (13), and sophomore defensive lineman Brett Hambrick leads the team with 10 sacks. “We’ve been able to have success with the westside kids,” Huber said. “They’ve been playing the game a long time, and they have a big passion for it.” Huber also praised his coaching staff, which features five former high school head coaches, including offensive coordinator Vince Suriano (Anderson) and defensive assistant Bob Crable (Moeller). Other coaches include Kyle Prosser, Ron Woyan, Dick Nocks, Brad Phillips, Pat McAtee, Tim Woyan, Rico Hill, Justin Roden, Tony Acito, Eric Doll, Joel Lauer, John Barbour and Matt Hall.

Grads played when West High beat Elder When most people think Western Hills High School athletics, they think Pete Rose, baseball’s all-time hit king. Or maybe even Karl Rhodes, the all-time homerun leader in Japan among foreign-born players. But Jeff Becker and Matt Piening? They’re the Mustangs most people might not remember.

Becker and Piening, who both graduated in 1987, played on West High’s 1986 state championship baseball team. The Mustangs defeated Westerville North 11-9 in a 12-inning game that spanned two days in Columbus. “The game started at 4 or 5 (p.m.), and they called it in the ninth due to darkness,” said Piening, who played rightfield. “Ohio State didn’t have (stadium) lights back then. So we
scrambled and got a hotel, checked in and showered. We didn’t even wash our uniforms. Then we went out the next day and won a state championship.” It was West High’s fifth baseball title in school history. The Mustangs haven’t won a state title in any sport ever since. Baseball may have attracted Becker and Piening to West High. “My uncle played on the ‘77 state team, and he was

my hero; he’s the reason I went there,” said Piening, a starting pitcher – but maybe even more impressive than their diamond exploits were their accomplishments on the gridiron. During their varsity football careers, Becker and Piening never lost to Elder. Anyone who knows the history of the rivalry, which ended this season after 81 years, surely understands the magnitude of that statement. The series began less than a month after the stock market crash in 1929, making it the longest rivalry in each school’s history. Since 1959, Elder went 464-1 against West High, including 19-0 since 1991. But three of West High’s five non-losses during that stretch came in three consecutive years in the mid80s. They came from Becker and Piening. As sophomores in 1984, Becker, a punter, and Piening, a linebacker, helped West High to a 12-12 tie against the Panthers. The standstill ended a five-game losing streak for West High and was the series’ first tie since 1934. “It felt like we won,” Piening said. “They were Elder. They were supposed to win.” But they didn’t. And in 1985, West High walloped Elder 35-14 at The Pit. It was the Mustangs’ first win at Elder Stadium since 1958, and – with a 21-point margin of victory – the game remains the most lopsided West High win in the history of the series. “We dominated,” Becker said. “That was unbelievable.” As seniors in 1986, Becker and Piening expanded their roles. Becker became the Mustangs’ quarterback – it was his first time ever playing the position – and set five school records; among them were most attempts in a game and season, most completions in a game and season, and most yards in a season. He finished third in the city in passing; Tom Bolden of Colerain finished first. Piening, meanwhile, became the team’s kicker. He set a single-season school record by drilling 10 field goals that year, but none was bigger than his

When the ball was snapped, it short-hopped a good four feet in front of me, but it bounced perfectly right to me. Matt had to hesitate but he made the field goal – and that ended up being the game-winner. That’s the thing that sticks out in my mind more than anything. God was with us.” Piening’s field goal made it 17-9, and the Mustangs hung on 17-15. “Elder scored and went for two, but they didn’t get it,” Piening said. It was the first – and last – time West High won backto-back games against Elder since 1945-46. Becker and Piening both went on to play college football. Piening played for one year at Ohio Northern before injuries forced him to give up the sport. Becker, meanwhile, was a Sporting News All-American quarterback at Northern Iowa as a sophomore before transferring to Cincinnati. He spent that summer working out and conditioning with the team, but he never made it on the field. He was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease in 1990. It took a year and a half of radiation and chemotherapy – and the love and support of his family and friends, including Piening – but eventually Becker beat the illness. “Matt was always there,” Becker said. A former teacher and police officer who also worked for an advertising firm, Becker is now a program director at Next Step House, a transitional home for men. But earlier this year, he noticed a cold sore on his tongue. “I couldn’t even eat,” said Becker, 41. His wife, Kim, forced her stubborn husband to go see a doctor.
He was diagnosed with tongue cancer. “It’s a direct result from the Hodgkin’s chemotherapy,” said Becker, who has had three surgeries since March to remove parts of his tongue. “But the doctors think they got it all.” Piening, who is currently the assistant principal at Colerain Middle School, provided unfailing friendship yet again. “To me, it says a lot about sports,” said Piening, 40. “Sports become a window into life. You go through good times and bad times and lean on each other. There are only a couple people that you know will always be there for you, and you’re not going to give that up.” Neither Becker nor Piening wanted to see the Elder/West High rivalry end, but they both understand why it did. “If West High were competitive – even if they lost – I’d be happy,” Becker said. “But it was getting hard to see it and hear about it.” Since 2001, Elder outscored West High 44348 for an average final score of 42-5. The one-sided rivalry may have ended, but not everyone has forgotten what Becker and Piening accomplished more than 20 years ago. “I was at the final game (of the series) this year, and I ran into one of my grade school friends (Greg Kotz, who graduated from Elder in 1987),” said Becker, who went to St. Aloysius in Sayler Park. “And he said, ‘I haven’t seen you in 10 years, but I was just talking about you (and what you did at West High).” The legend lives on. Although most of his grade school friends went to Elder, Becker did not – and it’s a decision for which both he and Piening are thankful. “Without that,” Piening said, “we might never have even been friends.”

Time is money
about politicians? One, when they vehemently tell us “no new taxes,” now come on, we need good taxes for good things? Two, or its beneath an opponent to praise an incumbent for doing some good things while they were in office. We need more experienced businessmen giving us ideas on how to improve Delhi. We need more jobs for our community, like those given to us by the College of Mount St. Joseph, our high schools, Bayley Place, Kroger and all our other retailers, etc. What are your ideas? God bless America. Bill Keenan Victoryview Lane Delhi Township
Another election is over and you’ve made the right decision, right! Most of the issues were passed on need, and that’s what they’re for. Are you pleased with the elected officials? People who will be honest, trust-worthy, working for us and not just for their own personal interests. People with good intentions, rather than wanting an extra pay check. That’s why its important we hold them accountable for their time in office. In my township it was great seeing five candidates running for two trustee positions. All good people, but a couple were victims of the domino effect. In other words, it seemed as though there were throw-in candidates on the ballot that took away votes from two great challengers? You know what really bugs me

Do you plan to participate in “Black Friday” shopping the day after Thanksgiving. Why or why not? If so, how early do you go?
Is “Sesame Street” still relevant today, 40 years after its television debut? Why or why not? Do you have any favorite memories of the show?
Every week The Community Press asks readers a question they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answer to westnews@communitypress.com with Chatroom in the subject line.
“‘Sesame’ was great for my kids and now my grandchildren are learning from and relating to it as well. I like the way this show uses music to enhance learning. I relate most to Oscar the Grouch.” G.G.
loved it! Bruce Stringbean’s ‘Born To Add,’ along with some of those other rock parodies, The Beetles and ‘Letter B’ and ‘Hey Food;’ Mick Swagger and the Cobble Stones singing ‘(I Can’t Get No) Co-Operation)’; Moe Cocker with ‘A Little Yelp From My Friends;’ Billy Idle with ‘Rebel L.’ Classic. S.H.M.
“Ever since they bowed to political correctness and sent ‘Cookie Monster’ off into the twilight they lost me!” C.J.W.
“The mission is the same today as it was then. There are still kids who are being educated by it. Plus it has a following of people who grew up on it and are raising kids today. I always loved the skits with the aliens ... yep yep yep.” A.H.
“‘Sesame Street’ is still relevant because teaching our youngest learners the basics of reading, math and good behavior never goes out of style. I love that the characters that kept me entertained are still around to entertain my children. The addition of new characters has allowed it to stay current while maintaining the same, loving format we enjoyed years ago. I cried when Big Bird told us that Mr. Hooper had died. No kids show today would take on the tough topic of death or some of the other issues they’ve handled over the years.” J.H.
“Sesame Street was a big part of my twin granddaughters’ life. Courtney was very seriously attached to Grover and Sarah was attached to Big Bird. When Courtney had surgery on her left leg, so did Grover. They both came out of surgery sporting a beautiful pink cast on their left leg. Big Bird and Grover made a surprise visit on their fifth birthday and Sarah was frightened so that ended her relationship with him. But at almost 21 years old I am sure Grover is still in someone’s memory. P.S. I dressed as Cookie Monster myself in a Shriner parade 20 years ago and won a prize for our organization.” I.K.
“We loved everything about ‘Sesame Street’ when my daughter was growing up, and it’s so much fun to see how much my grandchildren enjoy the same characters. I used to enjoy the send-ups of popular singers. It was over the kids’ heads, but I

Flu strain similar to past pandemics The flu pandemic of today has a lot of similarities to the 1918 flu pandemic. That pandemic known as the Spanish flu was a vicious strain of influenza A virus (H1N1). There was no cure or vaccine. It spread to nearly every corner of the earth and killed around 50 million people, more than three times the 15 million people killed in World War I. More soldiers died of the epidemic than war injuries. The disease might have actually have happened earlier in the United States. Death rates from pneumonia caused by influenza skyrocketed in 1915 and 1916 because of a major respiratory disease epidemic that started in December 1915. Death rates declined in 1917. Then in spring and summer of 1918 the Spanish flu hit, but it was a very mild flu. The second wave hit in the fall and winter of 1918. This attack was an extremely vicious strain that killed its victims 24 hours after catching it. The disease overwhelmed its victim’s immune systems, and they died of the flu, bacterial pneumonia or malnutrition. Children and older adults were not as susceptible to the illness due to their growing or compromised immunity. The 1918 flu epidemic was not a nationally reported disease because the standards for diagnosing flu and pneumonia were not in place. Additionally, President Wilson’s zeal for keeping the nation focused on winning World War I

downplayed the seriousness of the disease. Governments tried to control the crises by restricting commerce, initiating public health regulations, and putting time limits on funerals. There was a shortage of health care workers and medical supplies. Coffin makers, morticians, and gravediggers also were stretched to the breaking point. Entire families became ill and many children were orphaned. This also overwhelmed the orphanages. Businesses were in chaos. Telephone and telegraph services, garbage collection and mail delivery stopped completely in some communities. Schools, theaters and businesses closed. Some small businesses never reopened. Claims on insurance policies flooded insurance companies. After the pandemic of 1918 there was an enormous amount of research done by the medical community to try to isolate the virus. In 1933 the influenza A virus was isolated. But it took until

1944 for the first influenza vaccine to become available in the United States. Ten years later doctors and pharmacies were providing flu shots for the general public, and Influenza C was finally isolated. There have been pandemics since 1918. The pandemics of 1957 and 1968 were much weaker and caused fewer deaths. In 1957, 70,000 people died of the flu between 1957 and 1958. There were 33,000 died from the flu, between 1967 and 1968. Today there is the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, where all major outbreaks of disease are reported. They report that almost all modern cases of influenza A stem from the 1918 pandemic, with the exception of the avian viruses H5N1 and H7N7. I hope that this pandemic is a very mild one, and doesn’t become bigger than the 1918 pandemic. Betty Kamuf is a winner of Griffin Yeatman Award for Historical Preservation. She lives in Sayler Park.

Don Osterfeld and his family had been waiting for years to receive the Silver Star due his grandfather. The presentation finally came during the Delhi Township Veterans Association ceremonies. Osterfeld, commander of the association, said his grandfather, Charles Gold-
fuss, had earned the Silver Star while serving in World War I. “Back then,” Osterfeld said, “they gave tiny stars for gallantry in action. “Today, the stars are much larger and that’s what we’re getting today.” Along with that presentation, the Veterans Day ceremonies included the unveiling of names added to the Walls of Honor at the Veterans Memorial Park.

Has marriage become too frail to carry our dreams? Marriage is being scrutinized today because of its disappearing stability. So is the earth being scrutinized because of its disappearing glaciers. So is organized religion because of its disappearing congregations. Whenever crucial elements of life start fading our concern for them escalates. We worry about marriage because of its immense impact on the collective and individual welfare of society. Our country has the highest divorce rate in the world. “We divorce, re-partner and remarry faster than people in any other country,” says Andrew Cherlin, a Johns Hopkins sociologist, in his book, “The MarriageGo-Round.” A recent column in Time magazine (Aug. 24 and 31) addressed the same concern titled, “Americans Marry Too Much.” It expressed a legitimate
worry about our kids, “American kids are more likely than those in other developed countries to live in a household with a revolving cast of parents, stepparents, and live-in partners moving in and out of their lives – a pattern which is definitely not good for children.” Cherlin was amazed to find out that American kids born to married couples experienced 6 percent more household disruption by age 15 than Swedish kids born to unmarried parents. “Remember, we’re talking about the ‘avant-garde’ Swedes compared to the ‘conservative’ Americans,” Cherlin says. The bottom line is that while marriage is good for kids, it’s best when it results in a stable home. Or, as Cherlin puts it, “Many of the problems faced by American’s children stem not from parents marrying too little but rather too often.”
What’s gone wrong? It would take volumes to try to assess. One factor is that most couples still embark on the marriage journey believing that “all we need is love and good sex.” Interestingly, too many still mistake infatuation and active hormones as convincing proof that love exists. Nor do they realize what else is needed even when genuine love is present. M. Bridget Brennan and Jerome L. Shen, in their book “Claiming Our Deepest Desires,” point out important elements missing in today’s new marriages: “Navigational tools of communication, conflict resolution, deep listening, willingness to admit errors and wrongdoings, a sense of humor, trust and emotional maturity are all necessary in a good and lasting marriage.” To these I would add a solid sense of commitment.
That’s not just a casual promise but a vow from the deepest core of ourself, that come good times or bad, we’ll both work on our relationship throughout life. A marriage relationship is a dynamic living organism undergoing various stages, cycles, rhythms and moods. Despite superficial premarriage “preparation courses” most go into a marriage relationship at a rather superficial level. Few expect a lifetime of work. We do not know our self or our spouse as well as we think we do. And what we don’t know can hurt us. Marriage is a process of self-discovery as well as spouse-discovery.
That’s why Gary and Betsy Ricucci quipped to newlyweds, “One of the best wedding gifts God gave you was a full-length mirror called your spouse. Had there been a card attached, it would have said, ‘Here’s to helping you discover what you’re really like.’ ” Psychologically and spiritually the other human we marry is, in the truest sense, to be a helpmate in our selfawareness and growth. The process of self-discovery and spouse discovery is an unending challenge. We are either going forward, going backward, or trying to live our relationship on cruise control – which means coasting

Rita’s readers resurrect Fern Storer’s beloved chili recipe Writing this column week after week never gets “old” to me. As I’ve ment i o n e d before, it’s the sharing of recipes and stories that make popuRita itlararead. Heikenfeld ApparRita’s kitchen ently Fern Storer, food editor at the Cincinnati Post for a very long time, had the same relationship with her readers. When Pam Timme asked for Fern’s chili recipe, I had no idea the response would be so great. I figured a few of you might have a copy. Well, not only did I get a couple dozen responses; one reader offered to send me a copy of Fern’s cookbook
(and I will definitely accept!). So thanks, thanks, thanks to all of you who shared recipes and stories of this unique lady. I wish I had met her. I understand she was an enthusiastic gardener, as well. I know my Mom liked Fern’s recipes, and that to me was a great endorsement. I made the chili during a demo at Macy’s on Saturday, and everyone loved the mild taste and thick consistency.
Fern Storer’s chili
Jean King, a Loveland reader, brought this in personally to me. By the way, Fern was a very detailed recipe writer. She wanted her readers to be able to recreate her recipes without one problem. Here’s my adaptation from her 1989 cookbook.
Mount Healthy reader Rob Hiller sent me the recipe, as well, along with the Cincinnati chili story Fern had as a sideline. Rob substituted 1⁄4 each ground cloves and allspice for the 6 whole called in the recipe. 1 pound ground beef (not hamburger – I used sirloin) 6 each: whole cloves and allspice, tied in cheesecloth, coffee filter, tea ball, etc. or 1⁄4 teaspoon each ground 1 ⁄2 of a medium-size onion, more if you like, chopped (I used about 1 cup) 1 clove garlic, finely minced, or 1⁄4 teaspoon powdered garlic or garlic salt (I used a teaspoon fresh garlic) Salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon chili powder (start with 2 teaspoons) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon dried oregano
28 oz. diced tomatoes 1 tablespoon brown sugar (I didn’t use) 1 ⁄4 teaspoon liquid hot pepper sauce, optional (I didn’t use) 1-2 regular size cans kidney beans with their liquid 1 ⁄2 cup dry red wine (a mellow burgundy), optional but good (I didn’t use) Cook ground beef until red color is almost gone. Add everything but beans and wine. Simmer gently and cook uncovered, about 20 minutes. Add beans and wine and cook another 15 minutes or so. It will be fairly thick. If it becomes thicker than you like, a cup or so of water may be added. Also, if you cool and refrigerate it, you will probably need to add a little water to the amount you reheat. This will make eight to 10
Texas Guitar Women playing McAuley Five women – the Texas Guitar Women – will entertain at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21, at McAuley High School. The concert, featuring Cindy Cashdollar, Sue Foley, Carolyn Wonderland, Sarah Brown and Lisa Pankratz, is part of the a series presented by the Greater Cincinnati Performing Arts Society. Austin-based Dobro and steel guitarist Cashdollar’s career has taken some surprising twists and turns that have led her to work with many of the leading artists in contemporary music. Her ability to complement a song
or step out with a tasteful, imaginative, and exciting solo has made her one of the most in-demand musicians on the American roots music scene. Foley is considered to be one of the finest blues/roots artists working today. At 16, she embarked on her professional career as a bandleader, lead guitar player and vocalist. For the past 20 years she has made her mark as a notable Canadian songwriter, producer and prolific recording artist. In 2000, her home country honored her with her first Juno Award.
Living in Austin renewed Wonderland’s focus on her multiple talents, underlining vocals with fine guitar work, trumpet, and piano, as well as the ability to whistle on key. A series of discs began with Alcohol & Salvation in 2003. Her music played in television series such as “Time of Your Life” and “Homicide.” Brown is a widely recognized and award winning bassist in the international blues and roots music scene living in Austin. Starting her career in the 1970s, it only took three gigs for her to realize that playing bass was
what she was meant to do. She was voted best bass player in the Austin Music Polls four years running as well as winning another AMP award for a 45 rpm release. She is the recipient of five Music City Texas awards, was nominated for two W.C. Handy awards, received a NAIRD Indie Award, and was featured in Bass Player magazine. Pankratz has become the drummer of choice for acts who wanted their country to shuffle with soul and their rock to have some swing in the beat. She has performed on
generous servings.
Taffy apple salad for Thanksgiving
Reader Laurel Muhlenbruch shares this favorite recipe. She also shared a wonderful carrot cake recipe from her mother-in-law, Doris Szegda, who lives in Canandaigua, N.Y. The carrot cake is a much requested holiday and birthday cake recipe. It’s in our online version of this column at www.communitypress.com. 20 oz. pineapple chunks or crushed 2 cups mini-marshmallows 2 tablespoon flour 1 ⁄2 cup sugar 11⁄2 tablespoon white or cider vinegar 1 egg, well beaten 8 oz.

Society’s mission It is the mission of the Greater Cincinnati Performing Arts Society to act as a catalyst to bring high quality entertainment to the Greater Cincinnati area and to support values-based education. Inspiration: Over the last five years, St. Catharine of Siena school has dropped from an enrollment of over 400 students to 230. Much of this has had to do with the issues within the city of Cincinnati leading to a mass exodus to the suburbs. In addition, family demographics have changed significantly. Currently, 65 percent of the families attending St. Catharine have only one child and competition among schools has increased. St. Catharine is not alone. Of the 18 elementary schools in the St. Lawrence Deanery, 11 have 300 students or less. The idea is to create an additional revenue stream using a series of concerts with the proceeds going to St. Catharine and other area parochial schools. Source: www.gcparts.org Austin City Limits, the Conan O’Brien show, the Grand Ole Opry, Carnegie Hall and many pubs, clubs and honky tonks across the USA and Europe.

BRIEFLY Awareness week
To help students prepare for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, events are being held at the College of Mount St. Joseph in honor of Homelessness Awareness Week. The events are sponsored by the Office of Campus Ministry and the Campus Ministry Leadership Team. The week kicked off Monday. A Shantytown will be taking place on Wednesday, Nov. 18, in the Quad. Students will build their shanties out of cardboard, newspaper and duct tape at 6 p.m. At 9:30 p.m., a soup kitchen demonstration will be held, where students will stand in line to receive a bowl of hot soup, followed by a reflection. Students will then spend the night in their shanties to experience sleeping outside in the elements. The events come to a close with a candle light vigil on Thursday, Nov. 19, in the Shantytown at 5:30 p.m. There will be a short reflection about the connection between the issues of homelessness and our faith and how we are called to respond as faithful people.

Potted bulbs can ‘light up’ your spring anywhere if you plant now You can “light up” your yard next spring by planting spring bulbs in the ground now. But guess what? You can do the same thing to light up your outdoor containers next spring, or to bring spring bulb colors inside your home. Instead of planting bulbs in the ground, simply plant them in a pot. Growing spring bulbs in a container is easy. Here’s what you’ll need for your potted spring bulbs: • 4-, 6-, 8-inch or larger pots, with good drainage holes in the bottom • A good grade potting mix • Espoma’s Bulbtone (a fertilizer) • The bulbs of your choice. Any of the spring flowering bulbs will work,
so look at doing some pots of tulips, daff o d i l s , hyacinths for great fragrances, and Ron Wilson a few minor In the bulbs, like for garden crocus, early colors. T a k e your pots and place about an inch or two of the potting mix in the bottom. Then, evenly distribute your bulbs in the mix, point up, and feel free to plant them a little closer than you would normally in the ground. For the tulips, place the flat side of the bulb to the outside of the pot. Cover your bulbs with more of your soil-less mix,
sprinkle on a little bulb food, and then continue to fill the pot to the top, lightly compressing the soil as you fill. Water your potted bulbs thoroughly, and you’re ready to grow. Now, here’s the secret: You must over winter your potted bulbs in cold temperatures. So, leave your pots sitting outside, watering them when the soil dries out. Once the temperatures outside have become cold, consistently, move the planted bulb pots inside an unheated garage or shed, put them down in a window well, or actually heel them into the ground, and cover with mulch or leaves for the winter. Check to make sure they have soil moisture when you move them, and water
lightly over the winter as the soil dries. Otherwise, just let them sit dormant enjoying the cold temperatures. Early next spring, when the bulbs start to grow, bring them in to the house, or place your potted bulbs in an outdoor planter, give them a light water soluble feeding, water as needed, and let them do their “spring thing.” When they’re totally finished blooming and growing, you can take them out of the pot, plant them in the garden, and enjoy them for years to come. Ron Wilson is marketing manager for Natorp’s Inc. Garden Stores and is the garden expert for 55KRC-AM and Local 12. You can reach him at columns@communitypress.com.

POLICE REPORTS CINCINNATI DISTRICT 3

Gannett News Service Virginia Gayle “Ginny” Chizer discovered her passion early in life. “She loved being on stage. She never lost that love,” said her daughter, Cheri Misleh of Madeira. “I think she was born with that artistic gift.” As a youngster, the Gary, Ind., native got her first taste of performing by tap dancing with her sister. In high school, inspired by a drama teacher, she turned her attention to the theater. And later in life, she shared that passion for theater by teaching drama for more than 20 years at Oak Hills High School, while also acting in and directing community theater shows. Mrs. Chizer of Bright, Ind., died Friday of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at Hospice of Cincinnati. She was 76. In the early 1950s, she performed in theater productions while attending Indiana State University. But she left school to marry another Gary native, Lewis Chizer. They met when he was home on winter break from Harvard University. After he was hired by Procter & Gamble, the couple moved to Cincinnati and raised two children. Mrs. Chizer was a stayat-home mother who didn’t stay at home; she joined the Drama Workshop, one of the area’s first community theaters. In 1970, she enrolled at the University of Cincinnati. After earning her education degree, she was hired by Oak Hills to teach English and drama. Like the drama teacher who once inspired her, Mrs. Chizer inspired others, including 1984 Oak Hills graduate Dan Doerger of Covington. “What was great about her was she had that ability
to see things in people that people couldn’t even see in t h e m selves,” he said. Chizer Like Mrs. Chizer, Doerger for a time taught high school English and drama. Today as an education professor at Indiana University, he works with people who want to be teachers. “It really is amazing that she knew this is what I would probably excel at. And she was 100 percent right,” Doerger said. Some of her students went on to appear in Hollywood movies and TV shows or to perform with cruise lines. In 2003, Mrs. Chizer was inducted into the Educational Theater Association’s International Hall of Fame. Explaining her commitment to theater, Mrs. Chizer said at the time: “I get to work with wonderful people, that’s what I love.” She also was inducted into the Ohio Educational Theater Association Hall of Fame. And she received two notable local community theater awards: the Roger Grooms Award and ACTCincinnati’s Art Rouse Award. But of all the roles she played, her favorite, her daughter said, was that of grandmother to her five grandchildren. Besides her daughter, Mrs. Chizer is survived by her husband, Lewis Chizer of Bright; her son, John Chizer of Indianapolis; and her sister, Claudette Pratt, of Bartlesville, Okla. Memorials: Wesmates Endowment Fund, in care of Westwood United Methodist Church, 3460 Epworth Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45211; or Hospice of Cincinnati, 4350 Cooper Road, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

Travel & Resort Directory
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…
