Wyoming High School has climbed higher in Newsweek’s annual rankings of top high schools, landing a spot at No. 69. In 2008, the school was ranked 89. The only other Ohio school to make the top 100 was Walnut Hills High School, which came in at No. 60. “Wyoming High School is honored to once again be ranked as one of the top high schools in the nation,” Principal Aaron Marshall said. “We are fortunate to have outstanding students, a dedicated teaching staff, and a supportive community as we strive for even greater excellence.” The public schools are ranked according to a formula created by contributing editor Jay Matthews. The ranking is based on the number of advanced placement, international baccalaureate and/or Cambridge tests taken in 2008, then divides that by the number of graduating seniors. All schools have an index of at least 1.000 and are in the top 6 percent of public schools measured that way, according to Newsweek. Currently, the list consists of 5 percent of high schools in the United States. “The district is very proud to receive this honor,” Wyoming Superintendent Gail Kist-Kline said. “It highlights the high percentage of participation we have

Sharonville’s stimulating conversations By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
Sharonville City Council has approved an ordinance providing for $13 million in bonds for the expansion of the Convention Center. The funds would be used to pay part of the renovation and expansion. The expansion will add about 34,000 square feet to the building, as well as increase parking capacity. “This project is definitely going to build at this point,” Mayor Virgil Lovitt said. “The Hamilton County administration has committed dollars to expand our convention center,” he said. “They’re going to issue bonds and we’re going to issue bonds, but they wanted us to pass our legislation first. “We have passed it, so the county can take its turn while bonds are low,” Lovitt said. “Money is obviously tight, so the more we can get out of the borrow the better off we all are.” “It’s not stimulus dollars, but it’s a tangible project that puts people to work building something this year, not next year,” he said. “We are doing everything we

Construction, landscaping improving Evendale By Amanda Hopkins ahopkins@communitypress.com
The Village of Evendale is in full swing with its summer repairs and landscaping. Service director James Bothe said that all curbs have been finished in the Sharondale Road section and that the streets in Park Hills are next on the list. Work has already begun on Falling Waters Lane and on other streets in the subdivision. Landscaping on Glendale-Milford Road is also in progress. Bothe said that the island landscaping has been completed on the southern corner and the department is working on the northern corner. Bothe said that they are working to have the land-

The Village of Evendale is replacing curbs in several different areas. The streets included are Grimsby, Horncastle, Swindon, Falling Waters, Andalusia, Normandy Close and portions of Knollview and Gate Club. Gate Club is also being widened in conjunction with an easement from the city of Blue Ash to make the street safer for both pedestrians and motorists. JORDAN KELLOGG/STAFF

Kyle Smith delivers the Community Journal Clermont. “It’s easy, fast and it’s really fun to do,” he said of his newspaper route.
A resolution for an easement request at the entrance to Gateclub Drive was approved by Evendale village council. Repairs are planned by Evendale to expand the entrance to the subdivision but part of the entrance is property of the city of Blue Ash. scaping finished by July 4, but could always finish it earlier. “We want to get as much of it done as possible,” Bothe said. No date has been set for completion of the curb replacement. Construction will also begin on the entrance to Gateclub Drive once an
easement is granted by the city of Blue Ash. Evendale is looking to expand the road, but part of the road falls on property of the city of Blue Ash. If the easement is approved, Evendale will expand the road to “provide a safer combination of vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow” according to the resolution.

Work has been completed in the Sharondale Road area and now the village of Evendale continues curb replacement in Park Hills, starting with Falling Waters Lane. The next meeting for the Blue Ash City Council is July 9.

Junior carrier Smith follows route to Wii Jordan Kellogg jkellogg@communitypress.com
Like most 12-year-olds, Kyle Smith wanted a Nintendo Wii. Unlike other kids his own age, though, he was able to buy one with his own money. Smith earns cash delivering the Community Journal Clermont newspaper for The Community Press. He started the route about five years ago with his brother. “We needed a good way to get money,” he said. “This paper route really helped us to do that.” Smith is one of about 1,200 junior carriers who deliver the news to residents on the Eastside of Cincinnati every week. There are also 1,250 junior carriers who deliver Community Press and Community Recorder newspapers to residents of the Westside of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. The Community Press and Recorder is currently recruiting carriers for the program.

Age limit?
The Community Press has had children as young as 6 and as old as college students in the program. A young child must have a parent doing the route with them, though. “To ensure a successful experience for the reader the newspaper must be delivered on time and in a place that is acceptable to them,” said Circulation Manager Steve Barraco. “Receiving the newspaper from a junior carrier who is a friend and neighbor helps to make the process a more enjoyable one for everyone.” Each week, the carriers receive stacks of papers that they’re responsible for stuffing into bags. They then hit the streets in their communities to deliver the bundles. Once a month, carriers ask their customers for $2.50 for the service they’ve received. Carriers earn 50 percent of the collections, as well as tips, and are eligible for bonus points based on how many collections they achieve over their goal. The bonus points are redeemed for gift certificates to local stores and attractions like Kings Island and The Beach. “This is a great way to earn money,” said Smith. “It’s easy, fast and it’s really fun to do.” It also gives him a break from the Wii he purchased with his earnings. “If I’m bored and I’m at home and I’ve been playing video games too much it gives me something to do,” he said. “And it’s kind of fun to do.” For more information on the junior carrier program, call 576-8240.

Fashion show adds vintage history By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
Bette Sherman has an eye for fashion, but what catches her eye isn’t the latest clothing styles.
The fashion historian collects the garb of days gone by. Her collection spans the late 1800s through the 1970s. Sherman has been a fashion stylist and producer
for 30 years, doing contemporary fashion for department stores and shopping centers. “I love vintage fashion,” the Wyoming resident said. “I wear some vintage fash-

ion all the time.” She even put a few of her own pieces from the 1960s and 1970s Sherman in the show. She started by including a couple of vintage pieces at the end of a fashion show. “The women just went crazy,” she said. “They loved the vintage pieces. “Then I started being asked to do whole shows of vintage fashion,” Sherman said. The wardrobe includes a turn-of-the-century wool bathing dress, vintage shoes and handbags. “I started buying pieces I liked or could wear,” she said of shopping trips
throughout the country. The collection now includes 300 or more pieces, dating to 1880. She adds commentary to all her fashion shows, explaining the history of each piece. Sherman was featured in the Drake Center Auxiliary’s annual “A Passion for Fashion.” The fundraiser is designed to raise money for patient care and activities not supported by the center’s operating budget. Sherman’s collection was featured in 2008, and was so popular that Drake invited her for a second year, according to a news release. The 2009 show combined the history of beauty and the cosmetic industry. “It’s a passion I have,”
PROVIDED.
The Drake fashion show included pieces from the 1920s. Sherman said. “I really love to tell people about it because there are so many stories about it.” She told the Drake audience about the history of cosmetics, starting in 1890. “I talk about all the creams and products with arsenic in them,” she said, “before the FDA put any kind of restrictions on these products.”

It’s a fresh look at the agriculture and food manufacturing industries. The film, titled “FRESH,” will be presented by the Wyoming Ave. Farmers’ Market at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 26, at Wyoming High School in the Pendery Center for the Arts, 106 Pendery Ave. It’s the only Cincinnatiarea showing, according to Farmers’ Market co-owner Penny Shore. “It’s a positive film about people making positive changes in how we grow and distribute food in the United States,” Farmers’ Market co-owner Britt Hedges said.

Britt Hedges, co-owner of The Wyoming Ave. Farmers’ Market, helped bring the documentary film “FRESH” to Wyoming. Guy Ashmore, who owns That Guy’s Family Farm. “One of the reasons we wanted to do it is because agriculture is such a huge industry in Ohio,” Shore said. “One of the scary things is if, for some reason, food distribution would be interrupted, if trucks couldn’t get into the area, Cincinnati
only has a three-day supply of food,” Shore said. “Think about Hurricane Ike,” she said. “If you got in your car, there were fields of corn and soybeans, but none was for human consumption in that form. “It was set to be processed and added to other foods for protein, as opposed to eating the beans

Of the 100 student projects displayed during the conference in Columbus, 70 Princeton students received awards. Among the winning projects was a hydrogen fuel cell, designed and built by Jeff Rupe. It uses an electrical current to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water. Rupe also built a remotecontrol launch pad, from which he launched rockets using the hydrogen. Eric Britton made a wind generator with used parts from a treadmill and propellor made from PVC pipe. The generator, which converted wind energy into electrical energy, will be displayed at the Ohio State Fair this summer, according to Dennis Simpson, head of Princeton’s technology education department. “I’m delighted our students continue to set the standard for project work in technology education,” Simpson said of the Princeton display. “Teachers from around the state look to Princeton for innovative project ideas and examples. “Every year our teachers review the results of project displays, thinking we’ve reached the peak of our students’ performance,” he said. “But, the next year we end up doing even better.”

Wyoming’s Rodrigue sets standard for leadership By Mark Chalifoux
mchalifoux@communitypress.com
To say that Wyoming High School’s Anne Compton Rodrigue likes to stay busy would be somewhat of an understatement. Rodrigue was a captain for the volleyball, basketball and softball teams at Wyoming, graduated sixth in her class, was part of both the National Honors Society and the French Honors Society and was a volunteer for Project Lead. “I feel better when I’m busy,” Rodrigue said. “Time management is definitely a key, but I wouldn’t have changed anything. I loved it all and I will miss it.” Rodrigue was voted by readers as the Tri-County Press Sportsman of the Year in an online poll. Nominees were submitted by readers at Communitypress.com and more than 89,000 votes were cast for local athletes. The nominees were based on excellence in athletics, academics and character. Those are qualities Rodrigue has in spades, but perhaps her most important contribution to her teams was through her leadership. “She was a great leader, she was full of good energy and it’s important for younger kids to see good role models and have someone they can talk to and feel like they won’t be judged,” Wymoing softball coach Holly Muehlenkamp said. “Anne was that person. She’s just an all-around great kid,” she said of her former second baseman. Wyoming head volleyball coach Julie Plitt echoed those sentiments. “She was our setter and being a setter you’re forced into a leadership role and the girls really respected her and looked up to her for guidance on and off the court,” she said. “She was an awesome leader.” Rodrigue said she enjoyed serving in a leadership role

Rodrigue had experience with the role though as she has twin younger sisters. “I’m used to the older sister role, but I definitely love working with other kids too,” she said. Rodrigue and her twin sister, Bentley, both played volleyball, basketball and softball. With club and AAU teams, the duo could be playing as many as three sports in one season. “We were on the road a lot,” said Rodrigue’s father, Scott. “The spring they played all three was really hard and probably too
much. It was a busy time and a lot of fun.” Rodrigue said having a twin sister to go through everything with made it easier. “She’s my best friend so she would help me if I needed something and I was there for her,” Rodrigue said. “It can be overwhelming, but going through it with her made it more relaxed.” Rodrigue is going to the University of Virginia in the fall of 2009 and Bentley is attending Alabama. “It will be very weird going to different schools,” Rodrigue said. “We’ve done everything together and have a lot of the same friends. But we’ll talk all the time and visit each other.”

I’m a pretty competitive person and I love being on a team with people going towards the same goal,” she said. “The team dinners and trips we took and all the great kids I got to play with, it just made it so much fun.” Plitt said she saw the competitiveness in Rodrigue and that it will be what makes her successful. “She’s very grounded and is a well-rounded person but also is very much a go-getter,” Plitt said. “When she wants something she will figure out a way to get it done without hurting anyone or stepping on toes.”
Passion drives Vonderhaar to new heights By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
Moeller head basketball coach Carl Kremer said Brian Vonderhaar epitomizes a team player. “The great thing about Brian is that he’s ego-less. He’s a young man that was always able to accept his role and put the team first and through that he received all the accolades that a young man should when he does things the right way,” Kremer said. Vonderhaar certainly isn’t lacking in the accolades department. The senior graduated fourth in the class of 2009 at Moeller and was a member of the National Honor Society. He was awarded Moeller’s Gold Shield award for strong moral character, a willingness to serve and academic excellence. He was awarded the basketball

“It’s been my strongest asset,” Vonderhaar said. “It’s the thing I work on the most and it showed this year.” Vonderhaar’s shooting prowess was on display during a senior night game against Elder. Vonderhaar made 10 of 12 shots for a career high 28 points. “That was, by far, the most memorable game I’ve ever played in,” he said. “Something was with me. I can’t explain it. It was just the greatest feeling I’ve ever had.” Vonderhaar’s mother, Kathy, said it was an exciting night. “We had some family members that had never seen him play high school basketball at that game and they were astonished with his three-pointers and his passion during that game,” she said. “He just has that drive and passion to succeed whether it’s on

The Moeller High School volleyball team had to dig deep to do it, but the Crusaders won two close matches to win a state title. Moeller defeated Elder May 31 to win the state title 21-25, 26-24, 19-25, 2523 and 15-13. “You couldn’t be any more closely matched than the two of us were,” Moeller head coach Greg Ulland said. Moeller defeated Elder four times this year with each deciding game being decided by two points. “It easily could’ve gone the other way but overall our defense won out,” he said. Ulland said the team was thrilled to be in the state final after almost being eliminated by St. Edward’s in the state semi-finals earlier in the day. St. Ed’s was up 22-16, three points from making the state final, and Moeller fought back to win the game and won the fifth game 15-13. “I don’t think I’ll have another day that memorable in my entire career,” Ulland said. “Their backs were against the wall, through the wall, and after we overcame that to defeat St. Ed’s, we truly had nothing to fear.” Ulland credited his team’s toughness for the dramatic final day of the season. “This is one of the toughest team’s I’ve ever coached,” he said. “Maybe not the most skilled, but the team went 8-0 in deciding games this year. Five of those were two-point wins. We have really tough kids.” The state title is Moeller’s sixth in volleyball and Ulland’s fourth as the head coach. Ulland also won one as a player at Moeller. The state
championship game featured two GCL-South teams for the fifth consecutive season. “Elder was a buzzsaw in the tournament and took out a St. Xavier team that beat us twice, so we were concerned,” Ulland said. “Our depth and balance helped us. At the end of the game we could go to whoever we wanted, which made us less predictable than some teams.” One advantage Elder had was in the stands. The Elder faithful traveled well to the state finals and greatly outnumbered the Moeller students in attendance. That’s one aspect that has Ulland concerned for the future. “Our freshman and junior varsity teams won the GCL and I feel good about that but we have little varsity experience coming back. We only have two players who played significant time this season and only a handful of the younger players in our program made the trip to Cleveland for the state finals. Ulland said there wasn’t a senior on the 2009 team that didn’t have a huge contribution on the season’s final day and that the 2009 class was a diverse one. “We had three kids who were longtime volleyball players, some kids who had never played volleyball until they were freshmen, we had two kids who transferred from different schools. “The difference between 2008 and 2009 was that in 2009, that group of kids was able to put aside their differences and become a single unit that had no selfish thoughts at all.” “Their focus was on winning, not on individual accomplishments, and that was the strength of the team and really it’s the strength of the program,” he said.

County’s biggest need: Common sense
I read with great interest the guest column by our county auditor, Dusty Rhodes, regarding, “It’s time to get back to common sense.” I would have to agree with Auditor Rhodes’ assessment that our county needs to get back to common sense governance. Sure our county commissioners inherited some of the bad decisions of their predecessors and now the country is in a lengthy national recession; revenue is
down and investment revenue is virtually nonexistent. However, the commissioners have a higher statutory obligation and responsibility than just rubber-stamping the county administrator’s budget recommendations. Due to the commissioners’ 2009 funding budget, this year the county recorder’s office has reduced its expenditures approximately 23 percent, terminating 33 percent of positions and reducing supplies by 50 percent.
As a fiscal conservative I have always worked to have government live within its means just like we all must do in our own homes. However, as your elected representative, I must warn you that the suggested 2010 reductions of 15 percent to 20 percent will have a devastating effect on the recorder’s meeting its statutory obligations, operation and public access. This year, the recorder’s office
has already taken in over $3.2 million in receipts for the county general fund, with about half going to the state’s Ohio Housing Trust Fund. So why is the county administration recommending further cuts to an office that actually raises money for the county coffers? The commissioners should fund their statutory offices with statutory obligations before creating additional debts that have nothing to do with their statutory
obligations. Yes, I agree with county Auditor Dusty Rhodes, it’s time to get back to “common sense” governance. Wayne Coates is the Hamilton County recorder and a resident of Forest Park.

Transparency important to commissioners It’s hard not to be discouraged with the current state of government, when high profile scandals and reports of wasteful spending continue to grab headlines, at all levels of government. Too often, it seems the elected officials forget that it is your taxpayer dollars paying for it all. That is why Hamilton County recently implemented two critical reforms aimed at increasing government accountability and provided clear bright lines for ethical conduct. Transparency in Spending. We recently went “live” with a Web site program that lists all county
spending, across all departments. Any citizens can go on-line, and search to see how each department is spending tax dollars. Whether it’s purchasing furniture, office supplies, or automobiles, you can now see how your tax dollars are spent, and hold your elected officials accountable if something seems amiss. We have also taken steps to ensure that there are no privacy risks in this effort at transparency and that the program can be implemented in real-time, and at minimal cost. Visit www.hamiltoncountyohio.gov to search the site and see
Do you think governments should be able to regulate things such as whether you can build a fence on your property, or park a boat or recreational vehicle in your driveway? Why or why not? “For anyone to fully understand the problem faced by the local governments, you have to realize ownership of property has all the failings everything else has. Property owners are not always responsible and making decisions that lead to protect the property. “Mental facilities such as Longview have been closed and the local governments are faced with dealing with people incapable of ownership. “This can be compared to enforcing the motor vehicle or other laws. Holding the title or license does not guarantee activity that does not threaten then selves others in the community. “Actually the benefactor is the person involved. In attempting to bring the owner back on course, everyone benefits. “We need to thank the fire chief and trustees for their effort in attempting to find a final solution after many years in process. “We should support the efforts of our local governments to maintain community values.” F.J.B. “No. This allows them to employ non-residents to enforce trumped up violations that were fine until a citizen allows a political yard sign to be displayed of a non-incumbent candidate for political office, resulting in multiple charges that slog through the court system for months. “Or if one has an older residence proximate a property that a developer desires to construct a much more expensive residence, that longtime resident is subjected to up to 19 zoning code violations.

What features would you like to see included in a health care reform plan? “My answer is none. The federal government has exceeded the authority under our Constitution. “My greatest disappointment is the fact our local officials have not challenged this, and taken the funds the U.S. does not have, leading to further control. “I would like to see our local officials in full control of our activities including the schools and rejecting the federal funds and the control that comes with it.” F.J.B. “Rather than talking about it for decades, finally do something about it. “A no-brainer would be to allow all U.S.A. citizenry to have the same type of coverage as our U.S.A. senators and congressional representatives which offers a multitude of quality coverage. “Since we can afford to ‘give’ millions of our taxpayer dollars to foreign nations that are full of dictators, graft and corruption, why not instead give it to our very own. “What we spend annually in donations to other nations would surely cover a major portion of this type of excellent coverage.” Help For Us All

Mike Robertson of Montgomery and his daughter Crystal lavish love on their Cairn Terrier named Frazier, who loves them right back.
Terrier ‘equal member of family’ Frazier Robertson is blind because of cataracts, but the 141⁄2-year-old Cairn Terrier can sense when a member of his adoptive family has had a bad day. “He shows his love by kisses when each of us comes home and staying next to you if he senses you had a bad day or if you are sick,” said Mike Robertson of Montgomery. “He has remarkable senses about our feelings.” Robertson describes Frazier as “an equal member of our family,” which includes Robertson's wife, Linda, and daughter Crystal. The terrier has had a tough life. Frazier has had surgery for an injured ligament in his leg, a prolapsed disc and to remove a rubber toy from his stomach. Twice a day Frazier gets insulin shots for his diabetes and prescription eye drops. “Yet he is a happy, lov-
ing member of the family,” Robertson said. “Vets, his groomer and other dog lovers all say his life span and wonderful disposition through it all is due to the unconditional love he has from his family. “We show our love by touch, carrying him and giving him his own pillow in bed,” Robertson said. “He sleeps like a person with his head on a pillow. “In my years with pets, Frazier is the most remarkable dog I have ever been privileged to know.” Meanwhile Frazier – whose favorite snack is cold green beans – is getting along fine with his physical problems. “Fraz knows his yard and house and can get around and even run in the yard,” Robertson said. “But at 141⁄2 years he mostly sleeps.” By Jeanne Houck

Glendale couple Social Security crusaders
˜What a delight to visit the Glendale home of Clyde and Margaret Cooper. The first thing I noticed was a magnolia tree in the back yard. Clyde said it used to look better, but he had to cut out the top. It must have been spectacular before. A very old oil Evelyn Perkins lamp hangs in the dining room. ElectriCommunity cally wired, it is now eye-catching Press an columnist chandelier. Margaret has taken their eclectic blend of old masters paintings, African statuary, Japanese prints, Rookwood and Tiffany, and artfully blended them with beautiful window treatments. Clyde’s roots reach to Tennessee. His mother’s people had a farm in Strawberry Plains. His father’s family lived outside Rogersville and started a church and a school. The Coopers moved to Glendale from Knoxville in 1937. Clyde married the former Margaret Stearn 52 years ago, and they have two daughters. He served with Artillery Battalion No. 597 in Germany during the Korean War. Clyde always stayed busy. Before he and Margaret married, he worked at GE. Then he worked at the post office for 33 years, mostly at Sharonville, although he substituted at Elmwood, covering sick leave and vacations. He also worked at Fernald and as a bartender at Riverfront Stadium. Astute government observers, the Coopers are particularly concerned about Social Security. “Instead of stimulus, pay the money owed government workers. All government workers that qualify for Social Security should be paid, because Social Security taxes were

We own a house, have no great credit debt and drive a 10-year-old car. Our previous one was 18-years-old. Our kids live in Maryland and D.C., so we like to visit them, the grandchildren and a few other places occasionally. But, the economy is so bad that things are tight. We counted on Social Security to augment my Post Office pension, but it’s not there.” Margaret wrote opposing any plan to put Social Security into the stock market. Clyde has thrown out a wide net of correspondence to elected officials. To date he has received no reply from U.S. Rep. John Boehner, the county commissioners, Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory or the president.
Gov. Ted Strickland wrote that he cannot make the change and referred him to U.S. Sens. George Voinovich and Sherrod Brown. Response from former U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot and Voinovich tell of their efforts to pass H.R. 82, S.R. 1254 and S.R. 206 to change government pension offsets. The Coopers and others are tired of waiting. “These bills and resolutions have been under consideration for years but nothing changes. They spend money for everything else, but they can’t give us our money.” Evelyn Perkins writes a regular column about people and events in the Tri-County Press area.

A summertime reflection on human sexuality Summertime offers a visual smorgasbord of the human body. Warm air, less clothing, swimming, jogging and sunbathing draw attention and create sexual interest. Regardless of season, our culture celebrates the human body on stage, screen, TV and fashion. Immature and exaggerated as it may be, our focus on the body is a moving away from a centurieslong appraisal of negativity. The body for so long was seen as a prison for the spirit. Some earlier religions and philosophies believed that the best thing that could happen is when we die and are released from our bodies. Now we hold that there is a wholesome unity between body and soul. Our bodies are honorable and essential components of being human. A healthy and spiritual understanding of human sexuality has
not had good allies. Many moderns think that sexual restrictiveness is the result of Christianity and that the ancients were free of them. Quite the contrary. A perusal of Greek and Roman philosophy shows otherwise. In the “Phaedo,” Plato declared, “It seems that so long as we are alive, we shall continue closest to knowledge if we avoid as much as we can all contact and association with the body unless absolutely necessary.” Aristotle was particularly critical of the pleasures of touch and taste. Western beliefs and church attitudes about sex were especially influenced by Stoicism. Stoics took a stern view of sexual pleasure. Mastery of the mind should be maintained even in marriage. It is wrong to lust after another man’s wife, and equally wrong to lust after one’s own wife.
Augustine thought “for a couple to copulate for any purpose other than procreation was debauchery.” St. Paul, influenced by Hellenism, saw marriage as a concession to human weakness. Since the 1960s, we have been blundering and stumbling toward a more mature and wholesome attitude toward human sexuality. We’re certainly not there yet. A misuse of sex still lies at the heart of many social and psychological problems: rape, incest, pornography, abortion, pedophilia, even casual hooking-up and friends with benefits are all Exhibit A in evidence against a wholesome integration of sexuality into our lives. It’s as though since the 1960s we have made progress from a negative childish attitude toward sex, and have now arrived at a
Horticultural Society seeking amateur gardener nominations The Cincinnati Horticultural Society is accepting nominations for the 2009 Amateur Gardener Recognition Awards. Each year the Cincinnati Horticultural Society, producers of the Cincinnati Flower Show, recognize
local residents whose personal dedication and love of gardening cultivates amazing outdoor spaces that are an inspiration to all who see them. If there is a friend, neighbor, or family member with a green thumb that you
would like to honor, nomination forms are available a t www.cincyflowershow.com or call Julie Singer at 513872-9555, Ext. 11 for more details. Don’t be afraid to nominate yourself! Entry deadline is July 10.
collective adolescent stage where narcissism and indulgence reign – but still not a responsible appreciation and use. Years ago Fulton Sheen wrote, “Sex is the most psychosomatic of human functions. There is nothing else in which body and soul, finite and infinite, flesh and spirit are so closely intertwined. When sex and love are allowed to link the two, peace and joy result. When flesh and spirit are divorced, and sex is sought alone, boredom and ennui result.” Where are the men who will help in sexuality’s integration? In “Adam’s Return,” Father Richard Rohr, O.F.M., writes, “The most loving men I have met, the most generous to society and to life, are usually men who also have a lusty sense of life, beauty, pleasure, and sex – but they have
very realistic expectations of them. Smaller p l e a s u r e s Father Lou become a stairGuntzelman way and an Perspectives invitation to higher ones … They offer a first taste but then create a taste for something more and something higher. This is the necessary training of the lover archetype.” Such men respect sex, women and God’s gifts. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

‘Orange’ you glad Rita tried again? As I write this column, I’m waiting on clone No. 4 of the Orange Dreamsicle Cake like Fireside Restaurant in Georgetown, and a number of other restaurants’ versions, to cool so I can frost it. I’m taking it to Channel 19 for a live cooking demo tomorrow morning. I know Rob Williams and Sheila Gray, along with Frank Marzullo, Dan Romito and the rest of the crew will have the same reaction as everyone else I’ve tested it on – Delicious! After trying various ways to make it taste
“right,” all I can tell you is this is as close as I’m ever going to get to t h i s restaurant Rita favorite. Heikenfeld Even after Rita’s kitchen ing all eatmy mistakes, I still love the cake, and the topping even more. Now the restaurants usually make a two or three layer cake. I’m sure you can do that by adjusting the

Rita’s version of Dreamsicle cake that she took to the Fox 19 crew. baking time downwards. I made mine in a 9-by-13 pan because it was easier, especially since my husband kept chiding me with “are you still fooling with that – isn’t it time to move on?” Easy for him to say.

1 package (18.25 ounces) lemon supreme cake mix 1 small package orange Jell-O (3 ounces) 1 ⁄3 cup vegetable oil 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon orange extract 11⁄4 cups orange juice 1 ⁄4 teaspoon unsweetened orange Kool-Aid
Can you help?
Newport’s Manyet’s bakery icing: Cindy Fessler said she hasn’t found an icing they like as well. Does anyone have a similar recipe? “My family was so disappointed when it closed,” she said. Like Skyline’s black bean and rice soup for BG: “I can’t seem to find anything even close to it. Can’t get enough of it.” Pelican Reef’s coleslaw: Shari Weber, an Anderson Township reader, loves this and wants to make it for her husband. “Something’s different in there and it’s so good,” she told me. Loveland’s Hitch’s, now closed, chicken salad: Reader Phil Jones says this can be purchased through Zapps Bar next to the old deli, but would like to make it at home. Like Ruby’s white macaroni: For Marella Holmes. Bugogi and spinach like Korean Riverside Restaurant, Covington: Sue Dreibelbis and her family love the bulgogi served there and her kids are crazy about the spinach. “My kids don’t eat many vegetables so I’m desperate to find the spinach recipe,” she said.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9-by13 pan with cooking spray. Place cake mix, Jell-O, oil, eggs, and orange extract in mixing bowl. Add orange juice and Kool-Aid and beat on low until moistened. Increase to medium and beat a few minutes longer. The batter will be smooth. Pour into pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Don’t overbake. If cake humps up in the center, when you take it out of the oven, put a folded towel over it and press down with your hands. Voilà – a perfectly even cake (what you are doing is pressing the air out). Let it cool while making the topping.
Make a double batch of topping. Use half for a wonderful dip for fresh fruit or to make tiny tarts. Use mandarin oranges instead of pineapple.
Pineapple cream cheese topping
Chipotle mayonnaise for burgers
Beat together:
1 can, about 20 ounces, crushed pineapple, drained
or not, whatever you like (undrained your frosting will be a little softer – I like that version since it has more flavor) 3 ounces cream cheese, softened Package (3.5 ounces ) instant vanilla pudding
Then fold in:
8 ounces or so thawed whipped topping Spread on cooled cake and garnish as desired.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
For Jerry, who wanted an extra special spicy sauce for his burgers. Mix 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons each
olive oil and lemon juice. Add a scant 2 teaspoons puréed canned chipotle chiles in adobo, a teaspoon or so of garlic and a handful of chopped cilantro. Taste, add salt and add more garlic, lemon, etc. if needed.

Precision Radiotherapy is first in the Cincinnati area to offer three of the world’s most advanced cancer-fighting technologies. One such treatment is Respiratory Robotics, which allows doctors to aim precise, high-dose beams of radiation at tumors that move with the breathing cycle, without causing unnecessary damage to healthy tissue.
HOW DO YOU ELIMINATE RESPIRATORY MOVEMENT, TO FOCUS MORE RADIATION ON A TUMOR? When Mary was first diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2007, she was treated conventionally with chemotherapy and radiation, while a small spot on her liver was kept under close observation.
IT TAKES PRECISION. When that spot became active metastasis in 2008, Mary was referred to Precision Radiotherapy for the latest radiological technique, Respiratory Robotics. The procedure was painless. And today, Mary is moving on with her life, looking forward to long-term disease control. Respiratory Robotics provided Mary with a powerful life-saving tool to battle her cancer. Other state-of-the-art treatments like Tomotherapy and Frameless Stereotactic Radiosurgery, available at the

The Glendale Heritage Preservation Museum at the old CH&D depot in the village square is now displaying “Col. Wm. Cooper Procter, The Man Who ‘Invented’ Saturday.” Col. Procter, the grandson of the founding partner and Glendale native, set the tone for progressive innovation in Cincinnati and throughout the U.S. He was the first industrialist to give factory workers Saturday afternoons off. He also instituted profit sharing and worker representation on the company board. During the Great Depression he guaranteed his workers 50 weeks of
employment a year. Under his leadership P&G grew from a $20 million dollar to a $200 million dollar business and grew the product line to include Crisco and many detergents. He was also a pioneer in radio advertising initiating some of the first “soap operas.” He lived in Glendale from 1868 until his
death in 1934. The GHP Museum and Gift Shop is open Thursdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. In addition to the museum display, Col. Procter’s 1933 Packard convertible will be on display at the Glendale Antique Auto Show Sunday, June 28, in the village square.

Design To Market sets the stage for giving Design To Market Home Staging makes charitable giving a way of doing business at home and abroad. For the last year Jo Potvin of Wyoming, owner, Design To Market, has chosen to support other entrepreneurs in developing nations through the burgeoning microloan movement. Working with KIVA, an online resource that connects donors directly with small business owners, supporters like Potvin can select an entrepreneur to assist then choose a loan amount
and track the impact of the aid by following the individual’s progress. The goal is to help entrepreneurs achieve economic independence and improve their lives. In under a year, the loan is 100 percent repaid, the recipient has gained independence and Potvin has had a role in supporting a woman-owned business abroad. Of course there are countless opportunities to give back locally too. For Potvin, whose daughter was a baby when friends Charlie and Tara Pease lost their daughter to SIDS,
becoming involved in 7 Days for SIDS, a fundraiser organized to raise awareness and fund research to end SIDS, was a natural fit. This year Design To Market will donate three percent of sales during the weeklong SIDS event: June 8-14. The company will also help sponsor the Laura Elizabeth Pease Memorial Golf Outing. For more information or to view before and after pictures showing the results of recent home staging projects, visit www.designtomarketllc.com or contact Jo Potvin at 265-0952.

Hamilton County public health urges healthy swimming habits As area residents jump into the pool to cool off this summer, Hamilton County Public Health wants everyone to understand the healthy swimming habits that can prevent the spread of recreational water illnesses, specifically Cryptosporidium – commonly known as Crypto. “There are several simple steps I urge swimmers to take to ensure that everyone has a safe swimming experience this summer,” Hamilton County Health Commissioner Tim Ingram said. Swimmers can become infected with recreation water illnesses – like diarrhea – by swallowing, breathing or having contact with contaminated water from swimming pools. Swimmers who are ill may contaminate the water, posing a health risk for the healthy swimmers in the pool. Chlorine kills most germs over time, but some germs – like Crypto – can survive in chlorinated water up to several days. That is why it is important for pool users to practice healthy swimming habits. More information is at w w w. h a m i l t o n c o u n t y health.org and www. cdc.gov/healthyswimming.

Adults of all ages (singles and couples) will gather at the Mayerson JCC, 8485 Ridge Road in Amberley Village, for Dancin’ at the J, a fun evening with food, friends and live music, Sunday, June 28. The 4 Hubcaps rock and roll band will perform hits from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s in the Amberley Room at the J. The huge dance floor is perfect for all the people who will want to “twist the night away.” This party is open to the public. Paid reservations (by phone or mail) are due to the JCC by Friday, June 26. For reservations or more information, contact Courtney, 722-7226 or ccummings@mayersonjcc.org. The 4 Hubcaps have been playing together for more than 25 years, and are well-known in the community. They were the backup band for Bowser of Sha-NaNa when he toured the Midwest a few years ago, and they’ve entertained at lots of parties and special events. Members of the band include: John Fox, lead vocals and guitar/harmonica; Dave Goodman, sax/rhythm guitar; David Stonehill, bass guitar/keyboards; Rod Kaplan, drums, and Oscar Jarnicki, dance leader/rhythm instruments. “We’re looking forward to playing live rock and roll and taking requests from all the baby boomers who listened to us play this music at the JCC in the 1960s,” said John Fox. JCC members and nonmembers alike are already buzzing about the upcoming Dancin’ at the J party. “What could be more fun than dancing at the J?!” said Len Eppel, one of the party hosts. “My friends and I are really excited about partying with The 4 Hubcaps,” added Betsy Goldfarb, another of the event hosts.

Bed & Breakfast Feature of the Week
The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast
Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland
There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…
The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
