and that went a long way toward helping the city and developers understand the capacity we have for adding businesses and the type of businesses we can support,� Brasington said. “This study is aimed at the architecture and look of the central business district that the city and citizens want to see. In addition it will develop some language to improve the zoning code. “It is an exciting direction for the city and I believe it will take Madeira to the next level,� Brasington said.

Columbia Township officials are looking into the possibility of bringing a consultant in to assist them in picking a new banking institution to manage their money. The township recently removed its money from Peoples Community Bank, which has since shuttered its doors. The township funds have temporarily been moved to PNC Bank, but officials are looking for a more permanent solution to its money concerns.

Consultants hope to present the city of Madeira with the results of a study about what would be the best look and architecture for the central business district by early next year. McBride Dale Clarion of Fairfax recently wrapped up a survey of residents, business people and city officials about the issue. The online survey that was posted on the Madeira and the Madeira Chamber of Commerce Web sites, included pictures of buildings in Madeira and elsewhere, with participants being asked whether the buildings are appropriate for Madeira.
Assisting in the study is an advisory committee of citizens, members of the business community, the city’s architectural review officer and Councilman Rick Brasington, who also is a member of the Madeira Planning Commission. “The effort was recommended by the planning commission after trying to do the work ourselves,� Brasington said. “We realized it was beyond our expertise and council agreed to fund the study.� Brasington said this is the second study commissioned by the city about the central business district. “Our previous study was commissioned to gage the economic opportunities in the central business district,

Columbia Township Trustee President Stephen Langenkamp said he’s in favor of the help, which comes with a $7,500 price tag. He said while the township, like everyone else, is closely monitoring how it spends its money, the price of the consultant is meager compared to the township’s $5 million operating budget. Langenkamp said in order to maximize taxpayer money, the township should do whatever it can to get the most out of its budget. “I think that’s the most important thing we can do for the township,� he said. Davis said he hopes the issue comes up for vote during the next Columbia Township trustees meeting.

District sets goals for school year
By Amanda Hopkins
ahopkins@communitypress.com
Each year, the Deer Park City Schools district sets goals for each school building and reflects on the progress and needed improvements at the end of the school. Superintendent Kim Gray said the goals are necessary in order to judge the success of the students and to push them to work hard. “It asks ‘what are we going to do to make sure (the students) are going to be lifelong learners,’” Gray said. At Holmes Primary, Principal Amy Byrne said the four main goals are the heart of instruction, a responsive learning environment, academics and communication.

T h e teachers at Holmes will continue with the morning program that brings all of Gray the students together each day, continuing monthly recognition programs, sending newsletters to parents, utilizing the Web site, sending postcards to Deer Park residents and hosting special events to invite the community. Byrne said she will also focus on collaboration of the teachers because of the building switch this year that puts all kindergarten through third-grade teachers and students in the same building. Amity Elementary counselor Jason Spelic said the school’s focus would be on academics, collaboration, communication and social and emotional growth. He said with the social and emotional growth, the school strives for the students to recognize “Respect, Responsibility and Cooperation.” It is an effort to reduce disruptive classroom behavior
“It asks ‘what are we going to do to make sure (the students) are going to be lifelong learners.’”
Kim Gray Deer Park City Schools superintendent
There are also many meetings between teachers from each grade level and monitoring of student progress in all subjects. At the high school level, Principal Mark Lutz said a main focus for this year is on the math audit that will be conducted because of the law increasing required math credits for incoming freshmen in 2010 to four. The current requirement is three. Lutz also has a program to help students on different subjects called Extra Time, Extra Help that meets every morning to keep the students on track in their classes. In all buildings, Gray said the teachers focus on value added education, teaching the students and helping them to move ahead one year of education after every school year.

Madeira mayor co-chairs library campaign By Jeanne Houck jhouck@communitypress.com
Madeira Mayor Sarah Evans’ agreement to cochair the campaign to pass a 1-mill levy for the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is steeped in family tradition. “My father’s life was devoted to promoting and expanding the library’s reach and scope. He served on the library board for almost 40 years,” said Evans, who emphasized that her support of library Issue No. 7 is personal as opposed to a consensus of city council. “The idea that this valuable resource will no longer be available to Hamilton County residents is unacceptable. Our main library
branch, circulating over 4 million items annually is the busiest library in the c o u n t r y, ” Evans Evans said. “The simple fact that as the economy has declined over the last few years while library use has more than doubled should tell us that we cannot afford to have this levy fail.” Citizens for Your Library’s Future, the committee campaigning for passage of the library levy Nov. 3, is chaired by Bill Moran, who is senior vice president of corporate facilities with Fifth Third Bank. Moran said approval of
the levy that would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $2.50 a month and is critical. “Without it, the library will be forced to permanently close up to 20 neighborhood branches, lay off 250 more staff, drastically cut hours, reduce computer availability, slash the purchase of new books and eliminate services at a time when demand is at record highs,” Moran said. In addition to Evans, library levy co-chairs include Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory, Gwen Robinson, president of the Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency and Allen Zaring IV, chairman of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County Library Foundation.

Best football yet to come for Moeller By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
The Moeller Crusaders are 4-0 to start the season and are ranked No. 4 in the state AP poll, but the Crusaders have yet to play their best football. “We certainly haven’t hit on all cylinders and still need to get a little better,” said head coach John Rodeneberg. “We’re doing things to win games, which is good, but we still aren’t playing the way I think we should be playing.” Rodenberg said he would like to see more consistency on offense and to see the fumbles on special teams and mistakes on defense eliminated. The defense has been bolstered by the return of senior linebacker Nick Galvin, who missed the season opener with an injury. “He has experience and speed and he’s an all-city performer. He is just solid all the way around,” Rodenberg said. There have been other standout performers thus far for the Crusaders, including Marcus Rush on defense. “He has played outstanding,” Rodenberg said. “Garret Mize is another player doing big things for us. He’s having a great senior year.” Offensively, Rodenberg praised the play of senior quarterback Andrew Hendrix and junior running back Richie Dyer. “Our offensive line is playing spectacular, Richie has been very good and whenever we need a play, Andrew comes through for us,” he said. The offense has been stagnant at times and Rodenberg said all Moeller needs is a breakout game. “Some of the receivers are still playing like sophomores and juniors, but they will get there. We need a game when they can breakout and get more confidence,” he said. Despite the inconsistencies, the Crusaders are 3-0 with some good wins against Winton Woods, Hamilton and Centerville. Rodenberg praised the senior class for the early suc-

Moeller’s Andrew Hendrix looks to hand off the ball against Hamilton. Hendrix has been a big playmaker for Moeller this season. cess. “They have been there and know how to get it done. We’re winning games and getting points when we need to. They know what to do to get wins,” he said. Things don’t get much easier for the Crusaders, especially since two other GCL-South teams, Elder and St. Xavier, are nationally ranked.
100 yards on 10 carries. Tucker Skove (10 carries, 87 yards and one touchdown) and Jeff Aubin (nine carries, 78 yards, two touchdowns) also had productive days on the ground for Moeller. Quarterback Andrew Hendrix was 12-for-20 passing for 109 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions.

The Braves improved to 1-3 with its week-four win over Deer Park, 65-27. Deer Park fell to 0-4 and travel to face Taylor (2-2) in week four at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25. Deer Park kept things interesting early as Indian Hill only led by a 20-14 margin after the first quarter. However, Indian Hill scored 35 unanswered points in the second quarter to secure its first win of the 2009 season. Indian Hill senior quarterback Sam Hendricks threw for 117 yards and a touchdown while going 9of-12 passing. Hendricks also rushed for 98 yards and three touchdowns on nine carries. Indian Hill junior Reid Lockwood scored a pair of touchdowns and racked up 183 yards on 14 carries. Deer Park senior Ben Flamm managed to score two touchdowns while gaining 105 yards in the losing effort.
CHCA 56, New Miami 0
Junior Jamie Stagnaro had three interceptions for the Eagles – including a 25yard, pick-six to give CHCA a 42-0 lead at the half. CHCA outgained New Miami 310-109, as seven different Eagles scored touchdowns, including senior Doyen Harris, who had
touchdown runs of 13 and 30 yards; senior Ben Peters, who returned an interception 55 yards for a score; junior fullback Didi Charles, who scored from two yards out; junior Nick Lawley, who scored from three yards out; and senior Andrew Perkins, who scored from 11 yards out. The Eagles (3-1, 1-0) play at North College Hill Sept. 25.
CCD 27, Clark Montessori 6
The stakes are high as the rivals from Cincinnati Country Day and Summit Country Day prepare for a week-five showdown at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25. CCD kept its undefeated season alive with its weekfour win over Clark Montessori, 27-6, as the Indians improved to 4-0. Summit fell to 3-1 with its week-four loss to the 4-0 squad from Lockland, 41-6. Both teams aim to climb the Miami Valley Conference standings with a week-five win. CCD senior standout Max Dietz, a Hyde Park resident, scored on the opening kickoff in week four to give his Indians an immediate 6-0 lead over Clark. However, Clark tied the game at 6-6 and the score remained the same until late in the second quarter. But before the whistle for halftime, Dietz scored two more touchdowns in the last four minutes of the second quarter on a 60-yard run and a five-yard run to open the game up. All told, Dietz accounted for 290 all-purpose yards, scored all four of his team’s touchdowns and recorded an interception on defense. Dietz rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries during the Indian’s week-four win. In addition to playing offense and defense, Dietz is also the punter and kicker for CCD. Aside from Dietz’s standout play, Dunn also credited linebacker Wyatt Tiffany with helping lead CCD’s defense against Clark.
MND rolling through season By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
With an 8-1 record (as of Sept. 17), the Mount Notre Dame volleyball team is rolling through the regular season. The Cougars boast wins over Chaminade Julienne, Centerville, St. Henry Sycamore, St. Ursula, Butler, Seton and McAuley. The key to their success has been ball control, which was on display during a 3-0 win over Seton Sept. 15. “Our ball control and first contacts were great tonight,” first-year head coach Joe Burke said following the match. “That allowed us to run a lot of different sets.” The Cougars dominated their first two games against the Saints before going down to the wire in the third. But the Cougars never panicked, holding on for a 25-23 win. “I told (my players) that

Mount Notre Dame senior Megan Rohlfs serves against Seton High School Sept. 15. MND won 3-0. (Seton) is a good team and that we need to focus on what we do,” said Burke, whose team quelled the Saints’ final-set surge. Several players have contributed to the Cougars’
success this season, including seniors Kate Eckels of Loveland (MB), Marissa Otto of Maineville (OH), Megan Rohlfs of Loveland (DS/L) and Lauren Rohlfs of Loveland (DS), who has missed some action after rolling her ankle. MND has also had to overcome the loss of starting senior setter Kristen Caccimelio of Mason, who is out with a broken hand. Sophomore Aubree Hord of Loveland and junior Janna Reilly of Mason, however, have provided consistency at setter for the Cougars, whose only setback this season was a 3-2 loss to Lakota West Sept. 3 MND hasn’t lost a game since, reeling off five straight 3-0 victories. “Our team defense is really beginning to pick up,” Burke said. “But one thing we’re continuing to work on is our confidence. We’ll go on three-to-five point spurts where we don’t get a decent
hit on the ball, so we’re trying to work on that.” The Cougars need their confidence to be soaring when they play at Ursuline (8-0, 3-0) Sept. 24. The Lions finished 28-1 in 2008, eliminated MND from the playoffs and were state runners-up. They return many players from last year’s squad, including allleague performers Dani Reinert and Jade Henderson. Burke didn’t hesitate in proclaiming UA the team to beat in the Girls’ Greater Cincinnati League, but he said that his team – or any GGCL team – has a chance to tame the seemingly invincible Lions. “Every night in the GGCL is a battle,” he said. “Any team can knock off any team.” Win or lose, Burke remains focused on the big picture. “Playing in one of the best conferences in the state

When chips are down, how will we remember?
Talking to a friend of mine today, he commented on how we are becoming a “Delete Society.” The idea intrigued me. His contention is that much – if not most – of our communication is now being done, on a daily basis, via E-mail and texting. It is very easy to delete these from our computers and thus from our lives. With every deletion, however, we risk losing important pieces of our existence that, in the past, would be kept and handed down. Allow me to elaborate. I received an E-mail from my mother-in-law stating that my wife’s uncle passed away. The cause, the date and other details were contained in that e-mail. In the past, we would have received a letter
that would probably be kept in a box somewhere for future generations to discover. Instead, it is deleted, and subsequently gone forever. Bruce Healey For centuries, Community letters have been Press guest handed down that not only columnist provide v a l u a b l e genealogical information, but snapshots of life as our ancestors knew it.

Are you concerned about traffic near your child’s school? Where are the problem areas? What solutions do you offer? No responses.
Has there been a decline in civility at town hall meetings and public meetings in general? If so, why is this happening? “Wordnetweb defines civility as: politeness: the act of showing regard for others. “In a interactive communication process such as town hall meetings, the constituents arrive with the expectation that their concerns will be listened to, heard and processed, with relevant feedback provided by the representative or official. The public arrives anticipating that the officials will in fact show a regard for others. “Alas, the representatives’ frequent dismissal of pointed, toughto-answer, on-the-spot questions and continued reliance on grandstanding or canned rhetoric causes confusion and conflict. Soon frustration sets it and the natural tendency of the public is to address the absence of civility or the climate of rudeness with a reciprocal response. “The hypothesis is: If officials actually start to listen and provide direct, sincere answers – thus treating their constituents with due respect and civility – will the behavior of the public follow suit?” “Momma duck, baby duck.” D.M. “Unfortunately, yes, there has been a decline in civility at town halls and other public meetings. It is undoubtedly politically motivated. It’s sad to think that this is what they are teaching our children; as how to accomplish anything for the common good. The behavior is not only childish, It has been rude and prone toward violence. Most people want to hear the facts and debate the issues, not just listen to someone screaming obscenities and name calling. I hope this is not the new America. They have turned off a lot of people by this behavior. Where are the statesmen?” A.T. “Please correct me if I am wrong, but more than one elected politician was rude to president Bush when he spoke to Congress, but the media didn’t care. Now that a Republican did the same, the media is in an uproar. In regards to public meetings such as the recent tea parties, it is my understanding that they have been

Our parents and grandparents would have taken fewer pictures, had them printed and selected a few to put in an album (picture development and printing used to be a fairly expensive process). Only a natural disaster such as a tornado or a fire could deprive future generations of the pleasure of seeing the lives of their grandparents and great-grandparents evolve. From this perspective, then, we are going back in time. For most people, tracing lineage or finding snippets of our ancestor’s lives before the 18th century is almost

I understand the town hall meetings have been less than serene, but I understand that many people feel that they are being lied to and the country that they love is being ruined, so tempers are going to flare.” D.K. “Our society has changed over the past few years and it’s indicative off how our society has gone from being respectful to others and not having any decorum about openly expressing themselves. It used to be we were seen and not heard, if we wanted to speak, we raised our hands and waited to be chosen to speak. And when we’d speak, we respected those whom we addressed. Now, it seems as if this sort of malicious outspoken disrespectful opposition is seen as customary. That is just what we’ve seen as even those who address the president, to MTV awards. Some just feel they have the right to be disrespectful.” G.D.W. “Yes. Emotions are over running manners.” B.L. “People are fed up that the officials that we elected to represent us aren’t. It comes out of frustration.” C.A.S. “The ordinary people are speaking up thus everyone who is not in tune with them thinks they are not civil. For years the ones complaining were not to civil to President Bush. It is about time the real people of this country got off their duffs and expresed their opinion, this is what America is all about.” L.S.
Before we start casting stones it is always a good idea to consider all of the issues, including our own. Yes, I know, but I taught ethics and am now very involved in medical ethics. For clarification, medical ethics is no different than any other type of ethics other than sometimes lives and medical advancements are at stake. This merely makes it critical. My question for you is whether you think common folks (I consider myself as one) are to be held to a lesser standard than “elite” people of various callings. For the purpose of this essay consider that you have the opportunity to commit some ethical lapse and there is little possibility that you will be caught. In the course of our lives, we all face some tempting situations. Take some time to think this over. OK, time is up! Consider all the reasons why you would not do this. Now, think about all the reasons why you might be tempted. Let’s face it. There are some situations where we might submit to this temptation. Sometimes, it is our financial situation that forces a tough decision. Would you fault a poor single mother who has a hungry

baby for doing what a more fortunate person would not have to do? Would you blame her because her poor choices might have caused the problem in the first place? Did our society either cause or allow her to make bad deci-
sions? What we learn from this exercise is that sometimes bad ethical choices are made for many reasons. Some of them may make the decision reasonable to many people. Many of us would still fault the mother of the starving baby. Where most of us would agree is the recent scandal in New Jersey. People who have positions of trust should have the same ethical standards as the rest of us, but they should, by virtue of that trust hold themselves to higher public scrutiny. Now we are getting to my point. We cannot control the ethical decisions of others, but we are very much in charge of our own ethics. A clear example is how
LIFE
Before we start casting stones it is always a good idea to consider all of the issues, including our own. crooked politicians stay in office. The same is true for religious leaders. This is our fault. We should demand better ethics and punish wrongdoers. Let’s take a self examination of our ethical standards. When our desire for money or fame becomes more important than our own ethical values the only definition that fits is greed. We have only to look at the people who have made news lately to see that greed is the proper term to use for them. Most of us would rather lead a straight and modest life than to worry about who is watching us and why. This is not to vilify those who become wealthy or famous by legitimate means. They most often perform a service to society. They create wealth for others by their lifestyle. What really matters is when we can look in the mirror and say “this is someone I am proud of.” Edward Levy is a longtime resident of Montgomery and a former college instructor.

Careful crossing Visitors to Cincinnati.com/ deerpark posted these comments to a story about traffic problems near Holmes Elementary School: “The first thing people have to remember is the traffic issue is not a Deer Park issue unless it is occurring on their property. As long as the traffic problem is on the streets, it is a Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department issue. As far as the vehicles driving on the wrong side to ‘bypass traffic,’ please make sure you get the facts. On Donna, traffic lining up for Holmes is supposed to stay to the right side. This allows the left side of the road to remain open for through traffic and emergency vehicles.

Besides, almost none of them could read or write anyway. So, for relatively brief period, we have been blessed with photographs on paper and the written word that combine to give us an idea from whence we came. Sadly, we are reverting to a time where so much knowledge was lost between generations. The irony in this is, of course, that we are living in “the age of information.” Bruce A.

Princeton student school’s sole National Merit semifinalist By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
The Princeton High School senior who stands alone as a National Merit Scholarship semi-finalist has been excelling throughout his years at the school. Christopher Steineman of Sycamore Township is the only Princeton student to be in the running among about 16,000 nationwide for 8,200 scholarships. He entered the competition through the 2008 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, earning a spot in a group that represents less than one percent of high school seniors. “When any kid meets that type of platform, it’s representative of their collective work,” said William Sprankles, Princeton high school principal. “Chris has handled business for quiet a while,” he said of Steineman’s accomplishments. Besides being a member of the varsity soccer team, where he’s played virtually all positions, Steineman has stood out academically throughout his high school years. As a junior, he took home six medals, as well as honors for excellence in math and science. “At the academic awards last year, he cleaned house,” Sprankles said of Steineman. “He understands the importance of school and education in general,” Sprankles said.
KELLY MCBRIDE REDDY/STAFF
Christopher Steineman, a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist, plans to study bio-medical engineering in college. “Outside of the National Merit Scholarship, he’s a top caliber student regardless.” Steineman, whose favorite subject is math, said he wants to study biomedical engineering in college. “I always knew I wanted to study engineering,” he said. “I like to take things apart and put them back together.” Previously, he didn’t like biology, but through a teacher’s urging, he took a class. To his surprise, he enjoyed the subject. “So, I’m going to combine biology and engineering,” Steineman said. “It’s nice knowing you’re helping people,” he said of the bio-engineering field. “He has a passion,” Sprankles said. “You’re the best of the best on this assessment.”

Why love treats us the way it does But true love has its own purpose in being so demanding. Its purpose is to gradually transform us and turn us into genuine lovers. moved in with us - though we didn’t realize all its intentions. One day we were amazed when love took off 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 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
Movies, dining, events and more Metromix.com | cincinnati
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.co m or contact him directly at P.O.

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

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 Heikenfeld Rita’s kitchen
Make your soap:
with less soap!
Foaming hand soap:
The trick is in the dispenser. You have to use one 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.

homemade foaming soap
The bonus? More suds
for their cream puffs.
11⠄3 cups good quality water to 6 tablespoons or so 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.

Foaming dishwashing soap:
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.

This is also good in cream horns, Twinkie-like cakes, etc. Beat together: 1 ⠄2 cup solid shortening like Crisco 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 ⠄2 cup confectioners’ sugar Then beat in 1 cup Marshmallow Fluff

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).� Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author.

Be creative, raise measles awareness While nearly eradicated in industrialized nations, measles is still a leading cause of death in children under the age of 5, especially for those living in Africa and Asia. As such, measles tends to be an afterthought in the Western society. To raise awareness, the Cincinnati Area Chapter of the American Red Cross launched the
Measles Initiative as part of International Services to provide assistance to the world’s most vulnerable people. The chapter is hosting an art contest in conjunction with the Red Cross Measles Initiative. The contest is for youth grades K-12 and young adults 18-24. The theme is “Celebrating a Child’s Best Shot at a Healthy Life.” The contest

BED AND BREAKFAST
The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast
FLORIDA
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…
Crescent Societies have played a large role in this partnership by training volunteers to spread measles education in communities and remote areas and by offering financial support.

Kampinga, along with committee members Bill Jackson, Dianne Bohmer McGoron, April Kerley and Karla Webb. The Wellness Community offers approximately 150 professionally led programs a month for people affected by cancer, all at no cost to the participants.

Friends and supporters of The Wellness Community recently enjoyed all-star treatment and an unbeatable view of the WEBN/Cincinnati Bell Riverfest fireworks at the first John Morrell All-Star Blast at the Ballpark, held at Great American Ball Park. More than 320 guests mingled with former Reds players Tom Browning, Lee May, and Ron Oester, toured behind-the-scenes areas of the stadium and the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame, and enjoyed a delicious dinner buffet in the FOX Sports Ohio Champions Club before viewing the fireworks for the upper deck of the ballpark.
