Wyoming graduate Honors scholar Community Press Staff Report A recent graduate of Wyoming High School has been awarded a National Honor Society scholarship. Neil Menon was one of 150 finalists from among more than 6,000 applicants. Of those, 53 state finalists were chosen and nine regional winners each will receive a $3,000 scholarship. The scholarship comes from the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Two seniors from each participating high school chapter of the National Honor Society were nominated. According to a news release, finalists were selected based on academic records and leadership skills, as well as participation in service organizations, clubs and other student groups. “We are proud to recognize Menon for his outstanding achievements and contributions to his school, David Cordts, associate director of NHS said in a news release. “Students nominated for the NHS scholarship not only demonstrate academic excellence, but also extraordinary performance in service, leadership and character,” he said, “traits that are more important today than ever before.” Menon had been president of the Wyoming National Honor Society, editor of the school newspaper, student council representative, president of the Spanish and Latin clubs and a varsity athlete in swimming and track and field. He will study international business and classics at Georgetown University.

Split decision
Glendale council reviews property owners’ plans to divide lot into three By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
A Glendale resident might be back to square one after winning approval for the division of his East Fountain Avenue lot. On March 2, village council approved the division of Ralph Navaro’s 2.38-acre parcel into two lots. Navaro had requested that the property be divided into three parcels. His home occupies the western portion. Council unanimously agreed that the middle parcel was not an adequate size to meet regulations of the historic district, where the property is located. The Village’s Planning Commission had reviewed the request and recommended the denial of three lots, citing the middle lot as being too small. Navaro’s attorney, C. Francis Barrett, presented an appeal of that decision, citing the Village’s Codified Ordinance 154.46(D), which states: “The footprint of any new building erected on a lot adjacent to a lot containing a pivotal building shall not exceed the footprint of the pivotal building.” Navaro’s home is considered a pivotal building, as are several homes nearby on East Fountain Avenue. It also states: “New buildings shall have front yard setbacks similar to surrounding pivotal and

Attorney C. Francis Barrett outlines the proposed division of Ralph Navaro’s property.
Glendale resident Ralph Navaro wants to divide his property into three parcels. Council earlier this year approved a split into two parcels – the second being the red shaded area. The red dotted line shows where Navaro would like to divide that second area. contributing buildings.” Barrett said that though Navaro’s house of 8,878 square feet would not fit into the .8 acre space in the middle, which has a 45-foot buildable area at the narrowest part of the lot, some surrounding pivotal buildings were smaller and comparable to what would fit that space. Council remanded the issue to Planning Commission, where the ordinance will be examined and Navaro’s request will be reviewed. During the appeal, Glendale Solicitor Michael Honerlaw questioned whether the original approval was valid in light of information questioning whether it had been filed with Hamilton County Recorder Wayne Coates within three months, as required.
If it hadn’t, the original lot division would be null and void and the property would remain as one lot. Barrett, who had not represented Navaro during that time, wasn’t sure if the lot division had been recorded. Village Administrator Walter Cordes sent a letter to Coates July 7 asking for confirmation of the recording. The letter stated: “Please regard this conveyance as official notice that should the above referenced plat not have been recorded by June 2, 2009, the village of Glendale withdraws its approval of the plat subdivision.” Navaro will present his request at Planning Commission’s Aug. 3 meeting.

laborative includes the Loveland Symmes, Sycamore Township, Sharonville and Blue Ash fire departments, which will join resources to reduce response time. “We’re working on trying to standardize policy and improve ... safety and response,” said Loveland Symmes Fire Department Chief Otto Huber. “We hope to set a foundation for a fire service working collaborative.” The collaborative lays the groundwork for “visions and values” to be shared by all of the involved departments. Huber said that the plan can help create safer fire ground operations with more firefighters responding, help pool resources to save money for all 11 fire stations and create opportunities for firefighters from all departments to train together. Sharonville Fire Chief Ralph Hammonds said the collaborative makes sense fiscally, and for the safety of firefighters. “We’re not a volunteer organization anymore,” Hammonds said. “If we were a volunteer department, we’d get two dozen firefighters on the scene.
AMANDA HOPKINS/STAFF
Four local fire departments are joining forces in the Northeast Fire Collaborative, a joint effort to enhance fire protection and save money in the Loveland Symmes, Blue Ash, Sycamore Township and Sharonville Fire Departments by sharing resources. From left, Bruck Hawk (Loveland Symmes), Ann Burrell (Blue Ash), Wes Dendler (Loveland Symmes), Brad Niehaus, Blue Ash), Josh Galvin (Sycamore Township), Jayson Robertson (Sharonville), Walter Cook (Sycamore Township), John Eadicicco (Loveland Symmes), Mike Morrison (Sharonville) and Jeff Vaughn (Sharonville).

Jetter Notable – The Sycamore Township department began in 1995 and serves a population Sycamore Township now serves a population of 150,000 during daytime working and weekend hours, and over 23,000 residents. we have.” It can also improve response times by having the closest station respond to an emergency call. “It’s a matter of being responsible,” said Huber. Hammonds said the collaborative provides the ability to provide the proper amount of resources to fight house fires, and allows the group to buy items as a group, in bulk, which saves money. “For Sharonville, it helps provide better services for the most reasonable cost,”
Hammonds said. “It’s that way for all the communities. “It provides all the benefits of a fire district, without the politics and losing each department’s identity.” Sharonville Mayor Virgil Lovitt said fire services are getting increasingly harder to provide, due to added cost and changing regulations. “We need to look for ways to achieve the savings of a fire district and increase services,” he said. “These types of partnerships will probably become more common in the future.” The collaborative is open to including other communities’ departments that share the same vision, but Huber said that additions would have to make sense both by enhancing the work of the fire departments and staying cost-effective. The collaborative is currently in talks with Montgomery and Madeira-Indian Hill Fire Departments about joining the group. – Reporter Kelly McBride Reddy contributed to this story.

Wyoming Middle School students will have a new club to join when school resumes. The Board of Education, at its Monday, July 6 meeting, approved the creation of a service learning group. The goal of the club is to promote opportunities and involvement for service learning projects and volunteerism in the community, according to information provided by the school district. The club will be called Make It Happen. “That’s exactly what we intend to do,” said Sara Behrman, one of the parent advisers. Students in fifth- through eighth-grades will take an active role in community projects that they also will have input in selecting. Wyoming Youth Services staff members will advise the group, along with Behrman and another parent, Karen Jordan. More parent volunteers are needed, Behrman said. To
help, parents can contact her at sbehrman@cinci.rr.com. The club will be fluid, allowing students to participate as they want and as their schedules allow. They will meet immediately after school on the first and third Mondays of each month. “It will evolve from there,” Behrman said. The first project will concentrate on juvenile diabetes. Behrman said that topic was chosen because several students, as well as middle school Principal Mario Basora, are afflicted with Type I diabetes. A representative from the local Juvenile Diabetes office will visit the school in the fall, and a couple of weeks later, students will participate in an awareness walk. “Then, we want the kids to choose from some other ideas,” Behrman said. “Projects that affect the middle school students as well as the entire community. “We’re hoping to give these kids the skills they need to show they can do service projects their entire

life,” she said. “To Kist-Kline build a foundation.” Make It Happen will use education to help students act on that information, she said. “It will be like the little engine that could,” Behrman said. Also during the meeting, board members approved district goals for the upcoming year: • enhancing learning for all students by increasing student achievement for the 21st century; • providing continuous learning opportunities for staff members and community to support success for all students; • ensuring adequate resources to provide for continued high quality and consistent educational opportunities for all students, and • increasing community engagement activities to positively impact students, staff, parents and community with a community-wide book study and engagement sessions on 21st century learning and skills.

Police program enhances leadership skills By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
A leader can be the director, chief or commander. Leadership requires guidance, direction and management. Sgt. Dale Morris, a 10year veteran of the Springdale Police Department, learned the importance of leading by example during a series of seminars he attended. Morris, 33, drove to Worthington, near Columbus, for three week-long sessions over three months of the Police Executive Leadership College. “It’s based on the theory
that individuals can be taught to be leaders,” Springdale Police Chief Michael Laage said. “I believe in this very strongly. PELC ties it all together,” he said. “The individual, organization and community.” Morris is a supervisor on the afternoon shift and is in charge of the bike unit and property room. He also leads the department’s recruitment efforts. The program covered 20 topics including communications, ethics and media relations. “What I got out of it most was that communications with other people is key as a
supervisor,” Morris said. “Really think about what they’re saying. Make sure you don’t close them off by not listening to their ideas. “When you sit and talk with people, let them have your attention,” he said. “No typing or doing other stuff while you’re talking with them.” Life balance was another theme. “Don’t burn out at work,” Morris said. Some of the research the class of 27 was required to do included problem solving in theoretical situations. Morris had to pick one situation in the department and explain how to make that
better. “We had to analyze, then find a solution,” he said. The paper was presented to the class, and classmates had the opportunity to give input, letting Morris learn from his peers and offer his own ideas. He also had to interview community leaders to examine the community’s leadership structure. After the 105 class hours were completed, the sergeant will now apply his knowledge at work. Laage said he believes in the program, sponsored by the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police. “I’m a firm believer that

Sgt. Dale Morris, left, is congratulated by Chief Michael Laage upon completion of the leadership program. the position does not make the person a leader,” Laage said. “It’s the quality of that leader.” “It boils down to how you treat people you work with,” he said. “Give them
input, build trust and you’ll have better work relationships.” And above all else, “lead by example,” he said. “At some point, you have to do it yourself.”

Glendale to check stormwater regulation By Kelly McBride Reddy
Long said. Because efforts to regulate the discharge of stormwater with industrial or commercial pollutants in areas with populations of more than 100,000 hasn’t been adequate, the county is now adding smaller areas, such as Glendale. “We have found that education is a good way to implement that change,” Long said of his visit to the council meeting. Also during the meeting:
kreddy@communitypress.com
The Village of Glendale, to meet requirements to regulate stormwater, will examine lots that encompass at least one acre. Todd Long of Hamilton County presented a report during village council’s July 6 meeting explaining the requirements. The goal is to improve the water quality of receiving creeks and streams,
• Council voted unanimously to buy Eckstein School for $65,000. The village’s bid was the highest offered to Princeton City Schools for Glendale property that includes the historic school. The agreement stipulates that the village will provide a plaque or similar method to designate the school as historic. • A resolution confirming a wireless antenna contract with Cricket Communi-
cations was passed. The agreement to lease the space atop the water tower on Route 4 will bring $1,900 a month, with a 4 percent yearly escalation for inflation. “We designed the water tower for future antennas,” Village Administrator Walter Cordes said. “We don’t want towers in Glendale since it’s a residential area.” There is room for four more antennas, Cordes said. • Council accepted a
$261,000 grant for repairs to Sharon Road from the railroad tracks to Morris Avenue. The work will include repaving, curb repairs and stormwater drains. • Council also renewed its insurance policy with the Ohio Plan, which covers auto, building, equipment and liability. The $44,459 renewal is $8,000 less than the previous policy, Cordes said.

After 24 months of planning and editing, the village of Evendale council approved the comprehensive master plan. It passed with little fanfare and short two councilmembers on the third and final reading of the ordinance. “It’s going to give (Evendale) a blueprint on how to move forward into the future,” said Della Rucker, a planner with Jacobs Edwards and Kelcey involved with helping draft the master plan at a public meeting earlier this year. Rucker also said that there was good public feedback with a more than 15 percent response from residents, which she said is the highest among communities that have composed a master plan. With the approval of the ordinance, the master plan will go into effect as soon as possible.

Bruening to bike for friend with MS By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
Michael Bruening is by no means a cyclist. But for two days in August, that won’t matter. A science teacher at Princeton High School, Bruening is part of a team of more than two dozen that will participate in a bike ride to raise money for multiple sclerosis. One of Bruening’s friends, whose identity was asked to remain anonymous, was diagnosed with the disease in 2008. “She was only 24, and she was healthy, worked out all the time and was active with her job,” said Bruening, 26. “It was a big surprise to all of us. But she’s been
very positive about the whole thing. She has a very positive attitude about life.” Multiple sclerosis, also referred to as MS, is an autoimmune disease that attacks the central nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms range from mild (numbness in limbs) to severe (paralysis or loss of vision). The progression and severity of the disease, which is more common in females, varies from person to person. While there is no cure for MS, most people afflicted with the disease have life expectancies similar to the non-effected population. “Doctors are coming up with promising drugs for rehabilitation, and she’s doing a lot of new med-
ical treatments,” Bruening said. “Everything has been good so far.” Bruening’s team, which has members from several cities, including Cincinnati, Columbus and Chicago, hopes to raise $10,000; it currently has around $4,000. All funds will be donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. “Our donations have been pretty informal so far,” said Bruening, who graduated from Moeller High School in 2001. “We’ve mainly been asking family members and co-workers, but pretty soon we’ll start reaching out to businesses and larger corporations. We’re hoping to exceed our goal.” The bike ride – a 150-mile,

two-day race – will be held the weekend of August 29 and begins and ends at Camp Kern in Oregonia, Ohio. Neither Bruening nor his teammates are experienced cyclists. “I think we’ll be okay,” said Bruening, whose wife, Jenn, a teacher at Madeira High School, is also on the team. “(Some of us) have done half-marathons, and
there’s a big group of us, so it’ll be fun.” Bruening’s friend hopes to participate in the event. “She’s interested in doing it,” said Bruening, who graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in education in 2005. “It depends on her condition, but she’ll definitely do at least some of it if she can.” Bruening’s team learned of the annual bike ride, which is held all over the country, last winter and plans to make its participation in the event a tradition. “I’m sure we’ll be doing this yearly,” Bruening said. “She’s one of our best friends.”
Two local football recruits pick schools By Mark Chalifoux mchalifoux@communitypress.com
Two area Division I football prospects recently committed to schools as Wyoming’s Jibreel Black gave a verbal commitment to Indiana and Moeller’s David Schneider verbally committed to Ball State. The Indiana football beat writer from the Bloomington Herald-Times, Chris Korman, said Indiana fans are excited about Black. “Hardcore football fans that really follow the program realize he’s a much higher caliber recruit than Indiana usually gets,” Korman said. He also said he expects Black to compete for playing time right away. “Usually teams like to redshirt linemen but defensive tackle is one of the thinner spots in terms of depth,” he said. “I think Black could help them this year if he was on the roster.”

Wyoming High School defensive end Jibreel Black committed to Indiana University. Black said the ability to play early was a key for him and the fact that his brother Larry plays for Indiana. “He was there when I entered high school and he’ll be there to help me out the same way when I start college,” Black said. “I’m going to bring a new attitude to the team and hopefully bring in more recruits behind me.”
Black was a four-star recruit and had offers from Michigan and Michigan State, among others. Wyoming head coach Bernie Barre said it’s Black’s tremendous physical gifts that set him apart from other athletes. “His size, strength, speed and quickness. He is tremendously quick and agile for his size and he has what we would term a motor that never stops,” Barre said. “He goes 150 percent all the time.” Schneider, meanwhile, has Ball State fans excited about his commitment. Andy Thorpe, the editor of BallStateInsider.com, said Schneider was a great pickup for the team. “You just know some kids will be held in high esteem by Cardinal fans and David Schneider is one of these young men,” Thorpe said. “You watch his film and see a blue-collar kid
that will play hard every snap, block his butt off and make plays in the passing game when needed.” Moeller head coach John Rodenberg said the Sharonville resident would’ve drawn more interest in the recruiting game if he was a little bigger and that he’s a very underrated recruit. “I haven’t run into a coach yet that doesn’t think he’s a big-time prospect,” he said. “He had a hell of a year last year and will be a big cog in our offense this season.” Rodenberg said the cocaptain has a little bit of arrogance to his game but is also the type of kid that “works his tail off when you tell him things.” “I really like the kid. He does the things we need him to do and he makes plays. He’s pretty physical and pretty tough and I expect him to have a big year this year.”
Sign up for Metro softball by July 19 Registration for the Annual Cincinnati Metro Softball Tournament is due by noon on July 19. The road to the city championship begins with the tournament draw on July 28 at Rumpke Park when teams find out who they will
play in the first round. Games begin July 30 and continue through Aug. 12. “The Metro is the premier softball event to determine the best of the best in the Tristate,” said Dan Saylor, Rumpke Park executive director and Cincinnati
Amateur Softball Association (ASA) commissioner. “Players and teams are very passionate about playing in the Metro and claiming the title of city champs.” The entry fee is $295 per team, and the tournament is open to any team that played in a sanctioned softball league at a Greater Cincinnati park during 2009. The tournament offers men’s and women’s divisions for all levels, from recreational to competitive. The Cincinnati ASA governs play at the Metro, and a
$30 ASA sanction fee is required for non-ASA teams. Registration forms are available online at www.rumpkeballpark.com or by calling Rumpke Ballpark at 738-2646. More than 300 teams competed last year, continuing the Metro’s status as the largest amateur softball tournament in the nation. Rumpke Park in Crosby Township serves as the main location, and fields at six local parks are also used to accommodate the number of games.

VOICES FROM THE WEB An angry young man
Visitors to Cincinnati.com/evendale posted these comments to a story about Springdale man Eric Long, 18, being charged with two counts of murder after a double homicide along Interstate 75 in Evendale in March: “I guess it would be unfair to call this kid’s parent(s) to task over what he’s been up to these past few months? I mean, why should they be held responsible, I’m sure he’s living in their house ... walking in & out w/ a heater & drugs constantly... shame on these parents and that community for putting up and letting this go on ... shame.” BeyondSublime “I wish I was shocked ... but sadly I am not ... figures ...” n2indigoky “This could possibly be an unfair targeting of African Americans. It is possible that some of these people that got arrested were simply the victims of judgments before a legal trial was held. We don’t know enough details to determine the guilt of anyone here. Where is the evidence? Innocent until proven guilty.” hopemidas “Just because they didn’t say what the
evidence was doesn’t mean there isn’t any. Somehow everything seems to be unfair targeting of African Americans. You don’t know enough details but the police may. Ever think of that? Guess not.” zandj ‘How the heck do you manage to rack up 35 prior contacts with the juvenile justice system? You gotta really be hustlin’ to get into that much trouble by the time you’re 17.” bottomdrawer “’Innocent until proven guilty’ is a presumption used at trial. The rest of us are not hindered with that barrier. And let’s face it: The cops don’t ‘get the wrong guy.’ In the rare, rare, rare case when it does happen, it’s huge news – such as cases when DNA evidence exonerates a person convicted of rape. Next time you hear about the police charging an innocent person with a crime, make sure you’re not watching a movie.” pulous
Seventh sons (and daughters)
Visitors to Cincinnati.com/madeira posted these comments to a story about possible replacements for the late Bob Schuler as 7th District Ohio state senator: “Tom Brinkman refuses to support the
higher taxes that we know have done so much good for our state. We have endorsed Michelle Schneider because of her steadfast support for Bob Taft’s taxand-spend agenda that has done so much good for our state. Michelle voted for the 20 percent sales tax increase, whereas Brinkman voted against it. Michelle also helped raise gas prices by supporting a 27 percent gasoline tax hike. Again, Brinkman had the nerve to vote against it. “Those of us who support higher taxes cannot wait to see Michelle Schneider appointed to this seat. We need her to get Ohio back on track. If you agree with us that higher taxes and more spending lead to greater prosperity, do your part to help Michelle get this appointment.” Reps4HigherTaxes “Phil Heimlich: The former Cincinnati councilman lost his bid for re-election as a county commissioner in 2006 to Democrat David Pepper.

CH@TROOM July 8 questions
Wyoming is considering building a new firehouse on Springfield Pike near the Civic Center. Is this a good idea? Why or why not? No responses. This month marks the 40th anniversary of man’s first step on the moon. What do you remember about that event? Do you think the U.S. should return to the moon? Why or why not? “Unless we clearly would benefit in someway, or it would advance our knowledge in someway, with the fact we do not have the funds. I would have to object to the increased federal spending, which is already out of control. “My hope is that someday both the Republican and Democrat parties will begin to control spending. Excessive taxation leads to destruction of our financial system. “I continue to hope & pray our local township, city and state officials will begin to lead in our objection and bring government back to sanity.” F.J.B. “I remember it like yesterday, I was 12 years old at summer camp in Green Lake, Wisc., we all gathered so excitedly around a very small black and white TV to watch the first step on the moon. The camp was so primitive I have no idea where they got the TV or power cords to hook it up, but it was such an important event the counselors made sure we all witnessed this. It gave our generation such bright hopes for the future. If a man could ‘walk on the moon’ we could do anything we dreamed to accomplish ourselves. For that wonderful experience, I will be forever grateful.” P.H.S.
“I would hope that any return to the moon would be pursued only after the budget is balanced and the national debt is paid off.
Next question A Glendale man wants to subdivide his historic property into three parcels, so that two other homes can be built. Should he be allowed to do that? Why or why not?

The International Space Station has already cost $125 billion from various countries. Between that and the recent bailouts I suspect the U.S. could have instead lowered taxes and provided for the legal citizens who need help. Go figure!” T.D.T. “It was July 21, 1969, and I was finishing up a career step in West Virginia, and preparing to move to Cincinnati. “I remember that a co-worker named Dick Longyear was with my wife and I when Neil Armstrong made history; his first words were, ‘Houston – the Eagle has landed.’ “And then came the unforgettable ‘That’s one small step for man, and one giant leap for mankind.’ “I may lack the necessary wisdom and foresight to understand it all clearly, but to be honest, I see no point in any attempts by the U.S. to return to the moon, or explore other planets in the solar system. “The risks will probably always remain incredibly high, the costs astronomical (no pun intended), and the benefits questionable.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR 4th of July in Sharonville
July 4th greeted Sharonville residents with a rainy day. However, this wasn’t the reason for the lack of parade, festivities and the fireworks display. The lacking of celebration was planned. The fireworks: It seems that Sharonville Elementary was no longer a suitable venue. The new school created a smaller circumference and didn’t provide adequate space. Fire Chief Hammonds sought a new launching area. An ideal spot was located within Sharon Woods beyond Burke Street; Hamilton County Parks District wasn’t receptive. Princeton’s Junior High School was considered; Princeton declined. Festivities at Gower Park: Council decided to eliminate this due to the Sharonfest happening the weekend of July 24. The parade: It wasn’t going to lead anywhere, so it was cancelled.

‘I just read the results of an extensive Gallop Poll on the political beliefs of Americans. The results were quite surprising ... Americans have become much more conservative, that’s right, conservative, in the last four years. The survey covered a host range of issues and even how respondents described themselves (liberal, conservative or moderate). The Republicans need to appoint a real conservative, like Tom Brinkman, instead of the phonies (Taft, Voinovich, DeWine, etc ...) that have been promoting.

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

Police sergeant graduates from leadership school Loveland Police Sgt. Dennis Rahe has graduated from a prestigious leadership school. Rahe recently completed the Police Executive Leadership College program in Dublin, Ohio, a three-week course on leadership topics sponsored by the Law Enforcement Foundation and the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police. “PELC was an excellent opportunity to discuss leadership strategies with fellow officers and bring back ideas that I can apply within the Loveland Police Division,” said Rahe, an 11-year veteran of the Loveland Police Division who holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. “Completing this rigorous program is a noteworthy accomplishment for Sgt. Rahe as he continues to be a key member of the police division’s management team,” Loveland Police Chief Tim Sabransky said. The Police Executive Leadership College Program is designed for police chiefs, command-level staff and private-sector security executives. Coursework includes topics on how to motivate employees, write effectively, handle the media, implement changes, solve prob-

When Doug Walden called to thank me for the Cliff Hardware article, neither he nor his wife, Lee, thought I would be interested in a column about them. They were wrong. Both retired from careers they enjoyed to delight in a life of new experiences with their adorable grandchildren. Bridget, Mitchell and Parker illustrate the Mars and Venus gender difference. Bridget, the very model of a lady, quietly worked on origami under her Evelyn grandmother’s tutePerkins lage. Mitchell and Community Parker are quintesPress sential boys, exuberant and advencolumnist turesome. Bridget is the eldest grandchild and the surprise of the family, because her parents were married 10 years before she arrived. Both sets of grandparents attended her birth and were overjoyed. Doug worked 32 years at General Electric, where he was a machinist. Lee taught remedial reading in Campbell County, Reading and Little Miami, as well as language arts at Bethany School. She sews beautifully. She made a large quilt for Bridget, and is teaching her how to sew and do other crafts. Lee presented me with some lovely potholders she made. Her decorating taste shows in the exquisite wallpaper she selected.

EVELYN PERKINS/CONTRIBUTOR
Doug and Lee Walden in front of their Evendale gazebo with grandchildren Parker, Bridget and Mitchell. When Doug expressed an interest in grandfather clocks, he ended up with two. The one his daughter made from a puzzle hangs in the hall, and really keeps time. For his retirement, the family bought him an authentic clock that I couldn’t stop looking at. Both Doug and Lee are from Kentucky, and grew up on opposite sides of the Cumberland River. Her brother married his sister, and the Waldens reversed the order when they wed in 1966. “We’ve been well blessed. Scott, Tina and Kinda are our children. Herb and Tina are Parker’s parents, and Scott and Melissa are Bridget and Mitchell’s parents. We first lived in Sharonville, and then built this house in Evendale 23 years ago. It’s great to retire early and do other things. I tinker with my cars, enjoy the grandchildren and work part time at the Jewish
Community Center. I thoroughly enjoy taking the seniors on trips.” Doug is also an elected trustee, usher and assistant clerk at New Haven Missionary Baptist Church. One thing he won’t do is garden. His dad used to get him up at 5 a.m. to plant, weed and hoe. Consequently, other than a few tomato plants, Doug has no taste for playing in the dirt. Exploring their grandparent’s rock garden, the boys were excited to find some shells. Parker gifted me with a fantastic rock, and I promised to return the favor with some seashells I have in my basement.

We suppose that if a person we become a philosopher. Thereafter we pose momentous has prestige, wealth, celebrity and popularity that those facts bring questions to ourselves and it takes with them a certain degree of the rest of our lives to answer them. immortality. It’s a sad occurrence when We suppose important people (presuming they are) have a favored people never even let charmed life and are too important themselves get to the questions. Among the questions that arise to lose. Death is supposed to show are ones such as: How should I
live knowing I will die some day? Why love anyone at all if they can be taken away from me, and I from them? Is it better to be cautious and avoid the risk of great love for someone in order to be safe from the heartache of grief? Is there more life after this world’s life that is even more desirable, or is there only disintegration and dry nothingness? Is there a God who created me, loves me, and keeps me alive eternally? The alternative to struggling with questions such as these is to employ certain defenses against the questions ever arising. Hedonism says we can become impervious to death anxiety if we “eat, drink, and be merry.” Denial says, “Just don’t think about it and keep busy.” Agnostic practicality asks,
“Why try to live life wholeheartedly if it will all end?” Ernest Becker acknowledges this strange way of thinking: “The irony of man’s condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we shrink from being fully alive.” Will it help us diminish death anxiety if we draw back from life, from deeply loving, from compassion and enjoyment and closeness to another person? The answer - like so many other answers – is another of life’s paradoxes. Knowing death will come for us some day is the very factor that makes it possible for us to live life now in an authentic fashion. For what is limited is precious, what is plentiful becomes cheap. Knowing our years are limited
urges us to appreciate their preciousness. Death – rather being only a cause of bleak pessimism – ought to be a catalyst to enjoy authentic life modes now. Poet Mary Oliver puts it well: When it’s over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom taking the world into my arms. … I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

The “pending” charges are for two debit card purchases of less than $5 each. “We budget our biweekly checks to the penny so $104, that’s our grocery money, that’s our gas in our car. It’s devastating. I was literally begging these people to give me my money back,” Felts said. After several calls the bank agreed to return the
fees, but Felts said what happened is wrong. “The punishment should fit the crime. If there’s a negative $5.90 balance, $104 is absurd, it’s absolutely ridiculous … It’s not right. It can take months for families to recoup these losses,” Felts said. “I’m a family of five, every penny counts, and they’re just taking it like, ‘Oh, it’s no big deal,’ ” she said. As with others I’ve seen in this situation, most of the overdraft fees are caused by the use of a debit card. Instead of putting those
small charges on her debit card she could have paid cash, and Felts says she’s now learned her lesson. “Use cash. People need to start using cash more often,” she said. Felts said the government is enacting new credit card laws and should reevaluate what the banks are doing. The Federal Reserve is now deciding whether to crack down on automatic overdraft protection. A rule is expected later this year that would prevent banks from manipulating the order of checks and deb-
its so they maximize overdraft fees. Meanwhile, Congress is also listening to consumers and a proposal there would require banks to tell customers when they are at risk of incurring overdraft fees at an ATM machine or cash register so they can cancel the transaction.

The nation’s banks continue to raise fees on everything from credit cards to checking accounts. Banks say they need the money to make up for losses they incur during this recession. But customers and consumer groups are crying foul. Banks have come under much criticism for making it easy for customers to spend more money than they have in their account so they can assess overdraft fees. People like Bridget Felts of Milford are furious. She received three overdraft charges recently and said it’s

Kids with egg, dairy allergy can still eat cake One of the most fun things about writing this column is the feedback I get from you. No matter where I am, whether it’s the grocery store, Macy’s, teaching a class or speaking to a group, someone comes up and mentions my column. I have Rita a l w a y s Heikenfeld b e l i e v e d Rita’s kitchen t h a t ’ s because this column isn’t just about food: it’s a “place� where we gather each week and share recipes, memories, tips, opinions. A good example of this is Michelle Smith, a New Richmond reader, who requested an eggless cake for son Ethan’s 4th birthday. Clermont County reader Annie Hoffman, a cottage baker, came to the rescue. The bonus is the cake is dairy-free, too.
Annie’s dairy-free, eggless chocolate cake
Annie says, “The kids will love this cake.� Will make 26 cupcakes, a 9-by-13 pan, a 12-by-9 pan or even an 8-by-8 pan. Annie likes to use a 12by-9 pan or 8-by-8 square for thicker cake. Just adjust the baking time: 18 to 20 minutes for cupcakes; start testing cakes about 25 minutes. When toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, it’s done. Don’t overbake. Temperature: 350 degrees for all. 3 cups all purpose flour 2 cups sugar 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 ⠄3 cup Canola (she uses Kroger) oil 2 cups water 2 tablespoons white/ clear vinegar 2 teaspoons vanilla Combine dry ingredients in one bowl. Combine wet
ingredients together in one bowl. Mix both together and beat until smooth. Pour into sprayed pan. Annie says cupcakes won’t be very tall but will be very moist.
Dairy-free fluffy frosting
Use vegetable shortening, not Crisco or any shortening that’s non-hydrogenated (Annie says it slides off the cake due to formula change to make it non-hydrogenated – it’s OK for cupcakes but will slide off sides of cake), so use Kroger or other store, generic brand that says vegetable shortening/hydrogenated. See my tip below. Use any flavor extract you like. 1 ⠄2 cup vegetable shortening 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted 5 tablespoons water 1 ⠄2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 ⠄2 teaspoon almond extract (opt.) 1 ⠄4 teaspoon butter flavoring (Wilton brand since it’s a clear color) – opt.
Put everything in bowl. Mix on low to incorporate. Scrape, then turn on medium for eight minutes. This will incorporate air so don’t skip this step – otherwise you’ll wind up with sugary, not fluffy, frosting. Makes 4 cups. Refrigerates up to six weeks – bring to room temp and rewhip on low. Chocolate: Start adding cocoa powder to taste, and, if necessary, a bit more water. “Makes the fudgiest frosting.�
On the Web
For another good eggless recipe plus tips on making a box cake eggless/dairy-free, log onto my Web version of this column at www.communitypress.com or call 513-591-6163 and leave your name and address.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen
Trouble with shortening: If you’ve experienced trouble with recipes using non-hydrogenated shortening (that makes it healthier), switch back to hydro-
genated. Seems like most trouble is with pie crusts/frostings. I know, I know, hydrogenated shortening is not as healthy as non-hydrogenated but really, it’s not something any of us eat on a daily basis. Annie and I agree you should use what makes your recipes taste and look great. Otherwise, you’re wasting money, time and compromising flavor and appearance.
Like Famous Recipe’s slaw
For Mrs. Whitmer and several others. Go to taste on vinegar, sugar, lemon juice. 1
â „3 cup sugar â „2 teaspoon salt 1 â „8 teaspoon pepper 1 â „4 cup milk 1 â „2 cup mayonnaise 1 â „4 cup buttermilk 11â „2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar 21â „2 tablespoons lemon juice 8 cups finely chopped 1
cabbage 1 â „4 cup grated carrots Whisk together sugar, salt, pepper, milk, mayo, buttermilk, vinegar and juice until smooth. Add cabbage and carrots and mix well. Refrigerate at least two hours before serving.
Rooting out recipes
• Anderson Township’s Pelican Reef’s slaw • Precinct’s Mac & Cheese I should know soon if the restaurants can share.
Recipe clairfication
Dreamsicle cake: Some readers are confused as to the Kool-Aid called for in the recipe. It’s 1/4 teaspoon and yes, it’'s dry.

Glendale doctor moves into new position Raj Narayan, M.D., of Indian Hill, Mayfield professor and chairman of the University of Cincinnati Department of Neurosurgery, has accepted the position of chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center. The North Shore-LIJ Health System includes more than a dozen hospitals in the New York metropolitan area. Narayan will also serve as director of North ShoreLIJ’s Harvey Cushing Institutes of Neuroscience and as professor of neurosurgery at the newly created Hofstra University School of Medicine, which is being developed in partnership with North Shore-LIJ. David Stern, M.D., dean of the UC College of Medicine, made the announcement June 17. Narayan has chaired UC’s Department of Neurosurgery, a close affiliate of
the Mayfield Clinic, since 2002. During his tenure, the department experienced an Narayan expansion in its clinical and research efforts. Most notably, Narayan oversaw an expansion of the residency program, an increase in the number of clinical trials, an increase in laboratory research in the area of traumatic brain injury and the creation of new divisions of neurocritical care and clinical trials. Narayan, best known internationally for his work in the area of traumatic brain injury, was co-editor of “Neurotrauma,” the major textbook on that subject. He was chairman of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) section on Neurotrau-
ma and Neurocritical Care from 1992 to 1994 and from 2002 to 2004, and he has served as chairman of the American Brain Injury Consortium since 1999. He has held more than 60 visiting professorships and honored lectureships throughout the world. “The Department of Neurosurgery and Mayfield Clinic are grateful to Raj Narayan for his leadership and significant contributions to education, research, and patient care during the last seven years,” said Ronald Warnick, M.D., chairman of the Mayfield Clinic. “We will miss Raj’s integrity and graciousness, “said Mayfield CEO Michael Gilligan. “But we also applaud his new opportunity and know that he will be greatly appreciated by patients and young doctorsin-training in the New York area.” Stern named Mario Zuccarello, M.D., of Glendale professor of neurosurgery,
vice chairman of clinical affairs, and co-director of the Division of Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery, as interim chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery, effective July 1. Zuccarello joined the Department of Neurosurgery and the Mayfield Clinic in 1993 and has served in various roles throughout his career. He also serves as director of the neurovascular program for the UC Neuroscience Institute and as a member of the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Stroke Team. Zuccarello is a distinguished physician scientist who has published nearly 160 articles in peerreviewed journals and has given more than 60 presentations at symposia across the globe. Stern will appoint a committee to conduct a national search for a permanent chair.

Carrington Lovelace, 4, and her brother Jackson, 6, of Reading show off the totebags they decorated with their favorite creatures. Carrington's favorite is a Zebra, and Jackson’s is a shark. They want to read more about both this summer. Their mother Marian told us that their family frequently logs onto Kidspace. “We love the Library's kids' Web site and use it all of the time. We’ve requested many of the books listed on Kidspace.” Brooke Partin of Sharonville holds up a totebag featuring her creature creation. Her mother Tiffany credits last year’s Summer Reading program for motivating Brooke to read.“It was last year’s Summer Reading program that got her reading, and she’s excited about this year's program, too.” Brooke likes birds and cats, but during Creature Feature, she'll have a chance to read about all sorts of creatures this summer.

Return those grass clippings back to the turf Proper lawn care includes regular mowing of the lawn. And mowing the lawn produces grass clippings. So, what do you do with them? Well, don’t bag those clippings and send them to the landfills. Throw them back into the turf where they came from! There are many great reasons why you should be returning those grass clippings back to the turf and not
bagging them: • Grass clippings do not contribute to thatch. Thatch is a brown spongy layer of material made up of dead grass stems and roots. • Clippings are 75 percent water and break down quickly. • Clippings contain nitrogen (P and K) and other nutrients as well. • As much as 50 percent of the nitrogen applied to the
lawn is removed when grass clippings are collected. • Nutrients in the clippings are returned to the soil (can provide as much as 25 percent of your lawns total fertilizer needs). • Clippings add organic matter back to the soil and encourage microorganisms, resulting in water conservation and less fertilizer needed. • Less fertilizer needed means cost savings for you,

Ron Wilson
and reduction In the of pollution garden in rain water runoff from your yard. • Clippings left on the lawn means no bagging and hauling / no additions to landfills. Also reduces mowing time by as much as 40 percent. • Earthworms enjoy grass clippings. And, a recent study at the University of Connecticut where the clippings were returned to the lawn vs. being removed showed that the lawns with the clippings returned had: • 45 percent less crabgrass • up to 60 percent less disease • up to 45 percent more earthworms • 60 percent more water reaching plant roots • 25 percent greater root mass • 50 percent reduced need for nitrogen fertilizer. Pretty convincing wouldn’t you say? Now, if you do return grass clippings back to the turf, make sure that you mow on a regular basis (sharp mower blade), and never removing more than 1/3 of the grass blade each time you mow. If the grass gets too high, adjust the mower height to remove 1/3 of the blade, and then mow again in 2-3 days, and again in 2-3 days until the desired height is reached. Do not bring overgrown grass back to the normal mowing height in one mowing! Ron Wilson is marketing manager for Natorp’s Inc. Garden Stores and is the garden expert for 55KRC-AM and Local 12.

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.
