Springdale memorial is unique By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
Springdale’s war memorial has stories to tell. Stories etched in stone. The stone slabs that surround the memorial depict a variety of notable groups or events related to war. “This was our way to tell stories about Springdale residents and their involvement in the various wars,” said Robert Wilson, a Springdale City Councilman. Among them is the Purple Heart stone, honoring soldiers who paid dearly. “Dedicated to all men and women wounded in all wars,” it reads. “They paid for our freedom with blood. “Some gave all, all gave some.” The stone itself was donated by the Military Order of The Purple Heart, Sgt. William Brown Chapter. Brown was one of three recipients of the original version of the Purple Heart, called the Medal of Military Merit.

According to the Institute of Heraldry’s Web site, www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil, this is the criteria for being awarded a Purple Heart: a. “The Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the President of the United States to any member of an Armed Force who, while serving with the U.S. Armed Services after 5 April (1) In any action against an enemy of the United States; (2) In any action with an opposing armed force of a foreign country in which the Armed Forces of the United States are or have been engaged; (3) While serving with friendly foreign forces

Princeton adding new cameras to school buses By Kelly McBride Reddy
“This makes us have one coherent system in the district, a solidified system.”

When Princeton students board buses to return to school in August, the district will be keeping a closer eye on its passengers. The Board of Education authorized the district to buy and install cameras on 85 of its 87 buses. “It’s a matter of urgent safety,” said Carolyn Thornton, the district’s transportation supervisor. “We need them as quickly as possible prior to the beginning of school,” she said. Princeton will buy the cameras for $142,375 from Gate Keeper System. Thornton said the decision was

Princeton uses a 15-year-old VHS system, and some buses have no cameras at all. “We rotate them around,” Thornton said. The new system will include three boxes on each bus. One will face the front, one will face the rear and one will record the middle of the bus.

Glendale police to offer gun safety class By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
For those who wondered what it’s like to be in the intense, stressful position of deciding whether to fire a gun, the Glendale Police Department is offering a seminar that simulates such a situation. It’s part of civilian firearms safety training class, which takes place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m Saturday, Aug. 1, at Glendale Town Hall, 80 E. Sharon Road. The idea came from a
survey conducted by Police Chief Dave Warman in which he asked Glendale residents for input on educational seminars. Two others have already taken place. The department previously held a rape awareness class that taught self defense and conducted an Internet safety program. The firearms safety class is open to the public, not just Glendale residents, said Lt. Dave LeCompt of the Glendale Police Department. “This was not meant to advocate or encourage gun

The festival is run by local charities, school and religious organizations, including Alex’s Lemonade Stand, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Sharonville Sharks

ownership,” he said. It’s aimed at those who are interested in, own or have access to guns. “If they do, and haven’t had safety training, it’s a good way for us to get the information out to them,” LeCompt said. Though the program offers general firearms safety, the focus is on the home. “We will address issues of how to stay safe,” LeCompt said. The program will also include information on Ohio’s concealed carry law,
as well as what steps to take to acquire a permit. The highlight for many, though, will be the Firearms Training Simulator, also called F.A.T.S. Glendale will have access to it for department training, and decided it would be a good opportunity to offer the experience to the public. The simulator uses electronics and computer graphics to mimic the stressful situation a person would encounter when deciding if or when to fire a gun. Though the class is free,

Springdale offers help with home repairs By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
Springdale’s building department has taken steps to help residents make home repairs despite the challenges of the economy. The reimbursement program is part of a community block program offered through the Department of Housing and Urban Development for residents with low-to-moderate incomes. According to a news release from the city’s building department, Springdale’s commitment to “making the community as livable as possible” prompted the Home Improvement Repair
Program. “The leaders recognize, however, during these rocky economic times it may be difficult to find the funds to make improvements or necessary repairs to homes,” the news release stated. “The grant is available to people who qualify under HUD guidelines,” said Bill McErlane, a building official with the city of Springdale. Income guidelines are defined as a person earning less than $38,750 a year, or a four-person household with income not exceeding $55,350. The grant covers exterior repairs or improvements, with a few exceptions, McErlane said.
Those who qualify can be reimbursed up to $1,000 once a year. The city has been approved for $20,000 in financing each year for 2009 through 2011. To apply, a resident must submit proof of income through a 1040 tax form. A list of materials with expenses included, or a contractor estimate, is also required. McErlane said that after a resident would be recognized as qualifying through income and repair description, the city would inspect the house. If approved, the homeowner has three months to complete the work, then

Springdale has recognized, though, that those with lowto-moderate incomes might not have the funds to front for the home repairs. To help, Springdale Offering Support, or SOS has offered to step in. Mayor Doyle Webster said SOS has limited funds, but will help as it can.

Michael Baker didn’t really want to be in front of the camera. But that’s where he was in april, on “Cincy Entertainment,” a new TV show on Time Warner cable access channel 22. The show’s director is 15-year-old Jason Dudley from Sharonville. Baker of Finneytown, who runs Fade To Gray Films, is now turning to TV for his latest venture. “There is an incredible amount of talent in Cincinnati that no one knows about,” Baker said. “There are lots of venues that I didn’t know existed.” The first show was 60 minutes while subsequent shows will be 90 minutes. He’ll feature independent films of five to 15 minutes long, comedy troupes, musicians and other entertainment – all from this

The first show had Joe and Dave Herbert, the brothers who won $1 million after producing a Doritos ad for this year’s Super Bowl. It also featured Tupelo Honey, a band form Fort Wright that plays a “Dixie Chicks-swing-folk” style of
music, according to Baker; Outsiders, an improvisational comedy group; and an interview with Salvana Gillardo, an acting coach who has worked with Vin Diesel, Keanu Reeves and Angelina Jolie. Since his show cannot have real commercials, he’ll have spoofs of commercials.
“I had an e-mail from two guys in LA who did a spoof commercial on (the movie) ‘Twilight,’” he said. “This is a forum when people who aren’t getting the audience they should be getting will get some time on TV.” This is his first time producing a TV show, but he has experience in films. His Fade to Gray company has produced two films, and he has been in seven films, written four films, was in 22 voice-over commercials, has been on two billboards, and has done 46 Web interviews. Although he’ll host the first show, he is looking for a hostess. If you are interested, e-mail him at cincyentertainment@rr.com. “If someone wants to get involved in a short film or otherwise, e-mail me,” Baker said. “This gives everybody an opportunity for a wider audience.”

ODOT seeks input on noise wall project By Jennie Key
Officials from the Ohio Department of Transportation met with neighbors near a planned noise barrier project on Interstate 275 to answer questions and get some input on the aesthetics of the project. Mark Clark, an environmental engineer and project manager for the Ohio Department of Transportation District 8, said the neighborhood that backs against the interstate has experienced the high traffic volume of interstate noise for a long period of time. Most of these homes predate construction of the interstate, he said. They get a higher priority. Noise walls help keep heavy traffic sounds out of the residential area. This project will eventually install sound barrier walls from the Mill Road overpass to the Hamilton Avenue interchange. The barriers are a continuation of walls that were built from Winton into Springdale, and will be similar to those walls. Residents will determine the design for the surface of the wall facing the houses. The first and main phase of the construc≠ tion of the wall will begin in spring of 2011. Clark estimated this

Clark said the estimate for this part of the project is about $700,000. The project is in two phases because there is also a project pending to improve the off ramp at Hamilton Avenue. That should hap≠pen in 2012, after the first phase is completed, Clark said. Kris Stephens has lived in her home on Riga Court for about 15 years. She says she doesn’t even notice the traffic noise since she replaced her old windows with more insulated ones. She says she doesn’t mind the noise and would prefer the area stayed open, but she doesn’t oppose the barriers. Some of the houses are closer to the highway, and the walls may help them, she said. It will probably help keep the trash down and will be easier to maintain.

RELIS cleared for workers, campers after case of H1N1 flu kreddy@communitypress.com
Sharonville’s health commissioner has given a clean bill of health to a building where a student camper became sick with the H1N1 virus. The Robert E. Lucas Intermediate School, owned by Princeton City Schools, was the site of the Children’s International Summer Village camp. Forty six campers, six counselors and 12 staff members were staying at RELIS when 23 of the campers and some counselors and staff
began exhibiting flu-like symptoms July 9. One of the children was diagnosed with the H1N1 virus, also called swine flu. Several Princeton employees were working on renovations at the building when the campers became ill. Sharonville Health Commissioner Dennis Propes announced that Monday, July 13, Princeton workers could return to the building. “There have been no new symptoms of flu for several days,” Propes said Tuesday. Students exhibiting
symptoms had been segregated from healthy students, but the campers were to be reunited on Wednesday, Propes said. The Princeton employees are preparing the building for the district’s Virtual Academy, which will open Aug. 17. A meeting was scheduled for Tuesday to address any concerns Princeton employees might have. According to a news release from the school district, Superintendent Gary Pack agreed that work would resume at RELIS on
MAURY’S TINY COVE
Tuesday. The news release included recommendations from Propes, such as wearing gloves and a mask, if the employee prefers. Princeton also reported that camp was continuing at RELIS, and that no additional cases of flu-like symptoms were reported over the weekend. Children’s International Summer Village conducts camp for children around the world to build interpersonal skills and help break down social and cultural barriers.

A Glendale squirrel marks the Bluebird Bakery in the Village Square.
The Bluebird Bakery is spreading its wings, though it’s not leaving the nest. The bakery, a fixture in Glendale’s Village Square, will be expanding into the vacant storefront next door, bringing additional seating for 20 customers and introducing a larger selection of food. The current bakery will become the working area for owner Jenny Dennis. The 30-by-30 space next door will accommodate customers. Dennis expects to open the larger bakery by the end of September, after a connecting doorway and restroom are added. A new menu will accompany the larger bakery. Standards such as coffee,
so special. “You learn history and what’s going on in the village here. It’s just the place to come.” Tom Allen, 90, a lifelong resident of Glendale, has been visiting the bakery daily for about 10 years. He chats with passers by who stop to pet his dog, Mattie. Mattie is Allen’s third Irish setter, but memories of her predecessor, Sadie, are close by, on a plaque affixed to the bench Allen sits on outside the bakery. “She never met a human she didn’t like,” the plaque says of Sadie. The same applies to Mattie. Each morning, Allen buys a cup of coffee, “and some kind of treat. Whatever strikes me,” he said. Then he and Mattie sit outside and visit with other customers.

Students lend microloans to underdeveloped countries Seven Hills School students are reaching out to assist individuals with small businesses in underdeveloped countries with microloans or small loans to those in poverty who have no access to traditional financing. Seven Hills teachers have considered this idea for some time, and the school’s first Global Education Day provided a perfect opportunity. The Seven Hills microloans started with “Global Ed,” who was introduced on Global Education Day. “Global Ed” is a sculpture created from pictures, flags and headlines from international newspapers by members of art teacher Diane Kruer’s Materials and Design class. History teacher Brian Wabler and his Global Issues Since 1945 class collaborated with the art class to use “Global Ed” as a means to raise money to donate as microloans. The art students added a coin slot to the globe held by Ed, and
the fundraising began. More than $300 was collected through Global Ed and a bake sale, and Seven Hills was able to donate two microloans through Kiva, the world’s first person-toperson micro-lending Web site, enabling individuals to lend directly to needy entrepreneurs around the world. The Global Issues class decided to donate microloans of $150 each to Melva Cordova Braga, who owns a general store in San Martín, Peru, and Elizabeth Ofori, a trader in a fishing community in Ghana. Upper School students learned firsthand about the impact of microloans in impoverished countries, when Ed Bland, president of Unitus and older brother of Interim Head of School Todd Bland, was the keynote speaker on Global Education Day. Unitus is an international nonprofit organization which works to reduce global poverty by increasing access to life-changing microfinance services.

SPORTS Rugby growing in the Tristate

The thing that separates rugby from other sports is the camaraderie the sport fosters. A rugby player in a new city isn’t alone for very long. “I’ve lived in several different places and when I get to a new city, one of the first things I do is look for a local rugby club because it’s an instant peer group,” said Charles Dainoff, vice president of the Ohio Rugby Union. “You immediately have a group of friends that can ease your transition into a new community. It’s a great sport and a great way to meet people.” Rugby is a sport that’s on the rise in the Tristate as new players
are joining the existing clubs and starting their own. The Ohio Rugby Union is part of USA Rugby and oversees rugby in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. There are 11 rugby clubs in Cincinnati and one in Northern Kentucky. That includes all age groups, from men’s clubs to collegiate teams at Xavier and Cincinnati and several area high school clubs. “Generally speaking, it’s all one big community,” Dainoff said. “We’re already starting to see kids transition from high school rugby to college rugby and it’s a sport you can play for 20 or 30 years if you’re committed to it.” Dainoff plays for the Cincinnati Wolfhounds, based in Fairfield,
SCHOOL
and occasionally plays for Wolfhounds 35 and older team, the Greyhounds. Clubs in the city often have different divisions for players depending on experience level. “There’s plenty of room for people to compete at whatever level they are comfortable with,” Dainoff said. “It’s a lot easier to get involved than you think. All you have to do is find out where a team is practicing and show up and introduce yourself.” The list of rugby clubs is on the ohiorugbyunion.org Web site. While the sport may look confusing at first, Dainoff insisted it’s not as chaotic as it seems and compared it to soccer and football. “Two teams are trying to advance the ball from one side of

The game is growing at the youth level too, according to the ORU’s youth director Chris Hopps. High school teams have been created at Moeller, Walnut Hills, Northbend (St. Xavier and Elder), and Indian Springs. Hopps said he hopes to have a parochial league in Cincinnati in the near future and that his goal is to spread rugby to anyone in high school or younger. The most prevalent way to generate interest, which can eventually build to the formation of teams, is through camps and clinics to teach the game to new players. “We make it so anyone can walk through it,” Hopps said. “They are learning rugby without knowing it.”

the field to the other to score,” he said. And almost as important as how the game is played is the social aspect of rugby. It’s a long-standing tradition in rugby for the home team to throw a party for the visiting team to thank them for coming to play. “You leave the rivalry on the field and that’s part of building this network of friends,” Dainoff said. When he moved to San Francisco, Dainoff was reunited with a former opposing player he’d been involved in a scuffle with while both played for different teams. “That was in the past and we were great teammates on this new team a few thousand miles across the country,” Dainoff said. “That’s sort of rugby in a nutshell.”
Indian Springs high school rugby finds success The Indian Springs High School Rugby Club has been in existence for six years and the Jets have been fairly successful during that time. The team has won one city championship and finished in second place twice. Coach Ben Terre Blanche, who played the game in high school in South Africa, said he thinks it’s the nature of the sport that has helped rugby’s recent growth in area high schools. “It’s more participative than football. Everyone on the team of 15 is eligible to catch the ball and everybody gets to run the ball, unlike in football,” he said. “It’s a very dynamic and thrilling game, almost like soccer and wrestling together.” The Jets practice at Landmark Christian Academy and draw players from a number of different schools, including Lakota, Mason, Cincinnati Christian, Princeton and Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy. “What’s difficult for us is recruiting,” Blanche said. “We don’t have the opportunity to share information with the high schools and we would like to have better access to the schools.” Blanche said the game is easy to teach and that when a new player gets caught with the ball he learns quickly. “It happens once and then after that he takes it seriously when you tell him what to do,” he said. One of the more important aspects of the sport of rugby is the camaraderie and Blanche said that’s fostered by the way the game is played. “The role of the coach is diminished because there are two 35-minute halves and no timeouts during the action,” he said. “They have to make decisions and they become reliant on each other. That causes an extremely tight spirit to develop.”

Jets’ Tom Shutrump player runs with the ball against Northern Kentucky. Blanche said rugby isn’t characterized by a lot of drinking in other countries, even if that’s the culture that’s evolved a little more in the U.S. “The team has cookouts and we’ve gone on road trips for games in Columbus and Cleveland and the guys have a lot of fun,” he said. “It was a fantastic experience for the boys. We shared one hotel with a Canadian team and it was like a big party. It was a social experience with chaperones and not associated with getting drunk.” Blance said the game is less dangerous than it appears and that one challenge the team faces is the lack of
knowledge the spectators have about the sport. He also said that the majority of new players are learning the game from scratch and that it takes a higher fitness level than football. “It’s not a game where you have a lineman giving 110 percent for 10 seconds,” he said. “You have to maintain the physical nature of the game for 35 minutes a side with few breaks. “The game requires some athleticism because it goes very quickly,” Blanche said. “I think the reason it’s becoming popular is because of the enjoyment it brings.”

Moeller High School started a rugby team in the spring of 2009 and the Crusaders couldn’t have asked for a more successful inaugural season. Moeller went 9-2 and finished fifth in the state. Their only two losses came to the top two teams in the state. “I had no idea we would have the success we had,” head coach Doug Rosfeld said. “I wanted to do it because so many kids were excited about it, and I was prepared to get absolutely clobbered. We came out of the gate at 7-0 and we’re so excited about the future of Moeller rugby.” While the program may only have one season under its belt, it looks like rugby could have a solid future at Moeller. Rosfeld said the program has strong support from the athletic department, which is evident in Moeller making rugby a varsity sport. Moeller is one of two varsity rugby programs in the state. “It quickly went from being a novelty club sideshow to being a full-fledged varsity sport,” Rosfeld said. “We had 15 kids on the team who had never earned a varsity letter before but we always have a spot for kids who are willing to work hard.” Rosfeld said the pride of representing their school is what set the Crusaders apart from other high school clubs in the city, which are often grouped by location and not school. Rosfeld said the team does not make cuts and that the majority of the kids involved had no prior experience in rugby. That includes the coach. “I was a fan of it but had very little knowledge of coaching the game,” said Rosfeld, the offensive line coach for Moeller’s football team. “A lot of the coaches in the community helped and I hired a coaching staff that really knows the game and I did a bunch of training seminars and clinics to get up to speed.” He said the team was still learning the game and that only seven or eight out of the 45 players on the team had rugby experience. The team is also seniordriven as the Crusaders had 37 seniors on their roster. “I went out and scouted some key people to play,” he said. “We went after good senior athletes that weren’t planning on playing any sports in college. We had a lot of soccer players, some football players and wrestlers and a few boxers.” Rosfeld said he expects the team will always be senior-driven and that the team’s size, speed and athletic ability helped cover up any inexperience in the sport. He said two of the big misconceptions people have about rugby is that it’s a brutal sport and that the rugby culture revolves around drinking. “The rules clearly regulate the type of tackling and we have far fewer serious injuries than other sports,” Rosfeld said. “College rugby has a reputation in this country but rugby is a gentleman’s sport and every match is followed by a social with both teams. It’s a great experience for kids to learn teamwork, fellowship and camaraderie.” Rosfeld said the team learned rugby is more of a thinking man’s game, like chess, and that you don’t have to be a born and raised rugby player to succeed at Moeller. “The team this year accomplished great feats on the field by working hard off of it and by being willing to work as a team,” Rosfeld said. “That’s what I’m most proud of.”

Tradition bonds North Bend rugby By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
Mike Mers has been a fixture of the North Bend Rugby Club, which was founded in 1975, for the vast majority of its existence. He played for the team during his days at St. Xavier High School in the early 1980s and served as playercoach in 1988, making him the first official head coach in team history. “We never had a coach before then,� Mers said. “There were only about 10 teams in the Midwest for a lot of those years, so we played a lot of colleges and picked up whatever games we could.� As a player, Mers, who graduated from St. X in 1983, was a fly half, a position requiring quick thinking and leadership skills. The Green Township resident attended the University of Cincinnati and played for its club team before becoming the coach at North Bend. In 1989, he led
Marshall hopes to lead Westside comeback
In 2005, the Westside Rugby Club finished second at the state tournament. Two years later, the team fell apart. “I had 14 seniors and two underclassmen on that ’07 team,� said Jeff Marshall, who became head coach in 2006. “After all those seniors graduated, it became really hard to recruit.� Westside hasn’t been able to field a team ever since. “We’ll get three or four or five guys out, but that’s not enough,� said Marshall, 30. Westside was comprised mainly of boys from Colerain and Oak Hills, with a splash of Elder students mixed in. “It’s tough to recruit, especially with the west side having such strong football schools,� said Marshall, who lives in Delhi. “A lot of coaches don’t want their guys to play.� There has been talk of Westside merging with North Bend, but that is an option that Marshall, who played for Queen City and Northern Kentucky, isn’t willing to pursue just yet. “We’re one of the founding members of the league, and we want to get schools back into it,� said Marshall, who began as an assistant coach during the team’s inaugural season in 2002. “I’m more committed this year than I’ve ever been.� North Bend to a No. 8 national ranking. Over the years, he has seen the sport grow immensely in popularity. “The biggest change is that now we have a league,� he said. The Ohio Rugby Union, which was founded in
2002, features several club teams and hosts an end-ofthe-year tournament to crown a city champion. North Bend has earned that distinction four times, most recently in 2008. Mers said his former teammates have helped the sport become what it is
today. “Some of the guys I played with are now coaching,� he said. “They know the game and want to coach. We have people in different parts of the city who were able to draw people in.� North Bend is comprised almost exclusively of St. X and Elder students; most of the players are upperclassmen, but some, like Jonathan Geers, joined the team as freshmen. “My freshman year, the team was almost all seniors, and we did really well,� said Geers, who will be a junior at St. X. “This past year, we only had about seven nonseniors on the team, but we still had 30 or 35 people come out to play.� Another North Bend veteran is Chris Montgomery, who will be a senior at St. X. Montgomery, whose two older brothers, Jim and Charlie, played for North Bend, started playing rugby in eighth grade. “In some team sports, you can get away with hav-
ing one good player,� said Montgomery, who plays the eight-man. “But in rugby, you can’t win with one good player. You have to play as a team and communicate with each other.� Many also find the game’s physical nature appealing. “It’s a sport that’s different,� Geers said. “Not everyone around Ohio knows what rugby is, so there’s also some shock value to it. The fact that it’s a tough sport really draws people in.� Geers, who is 5-8 and weighs 155, plays the scrum half, a position requiring quickness, communication skills and ballhandling ability. “(Geers and Montgomery) both picked up the game real fast,� Mers said. “Geers tends to throw very accurate passes under pressure. He’s one of the little guys who keeps control of the big guys, and they listen to him.� Mers said that his players respect each other
regardless of size or position or school affiliation. “It’s the greatest sport in the world,� he said. “It’s physical, but there’s a lot of thinking involved. There’s no blocking, so it’s one-on15. You’re not a star. You have to draw guys in and pass. There’s a lot of teamwork involved.� That teamwork goes beyond the pitch. “Every position communicates with another,� said Geers, who lives in Sharonville. “I communicate with the big guys and the backs, so there’s companionship on the team that extends into regular life.� Mers agreed. “There’s some sort of bond that rugby players have, and it’s one of the best parts of the whole thing,� he said. “In college and men’s rugby, you always get together after the game to hang out and sing songs. If you find another rugby player anywhere in the world, they’ll be your best friend.�

Voting against grant application short-sighted
I was surprised that there was even one dissenting vote at Wyoming’s special city council meeting June 29 when, by a 5-1 vote, the council approved applying for a grant that would cover almost all the cost of a new fire station on Springfield Pike. Applying for the grant is not receiving the grant, and there is plenty of time for public discussion while that grant process is under way. Even more importantly, Wyoming can refuse an awarded grant if the community decides that the location is not appropriate. But to vote against even applying for a grant that could save the city over $4 million, clos-
ing the door on any further discussion of this o p p o r t u n i t y, seems to show an inability to understand the process and a short-sighted Rebecca perspective of Johnson the community’s Community needs. As reported in Press guest the July 8 Tricolumnist County Press, Jenni McCauley, the lone dissenter, based her “no” vote on an informal poll that she personally conducted. How many

Wyoming is considering building a new firehouse on Springfield Pike near the Civic Center. Is this a good idea? Why or why not? “Stunned to silence. That was my first reaction to your article about Wyoming considering a new firehouse. Now that I have had some time to recover and to ask others about their thoughts, comments come faster than I can write. My initial reaction was, on Springfield Pike, they’ve got to be kidding. Even if the proposed station wasn’t going to be located on an already heavily traveled street, it would be very close to a school; well, two schools. If I lived in that area, I’d be concerned about ever selling my house. Can’t believe anyone would be willing to pay top price to sleep next to a firehouse. “At first, other’s reactions puzzled me. I’m not a native so I didn’t understand the comment, ‘We just built a new firehouse and police station.’ It turns out the ‘new’ facility was in fact built almost 20 years ago. It does seem to me, if this structure is obsolete and can’t be renovated, some one is guilty of very poor planning. “But that’s history, and I don’t have a personal acquaintance with it, what I do know though is the city recently destroyed a charming and historic little house on Oak Street. I served on the Historic Preservation Commission when this house was sacrificed in spite of our best efforts to save it. At that time one of the stated reasons for demolishing the house was that the fire department needed more space. I’m confused now. Exactly which is it, Oak Street or Springfield Pike? Or is this a trial balloon concocted from the promise of free money from the government? “And I’ve got to be honest, I mistrust the suggestion that there is plenty of time for input from the citizens or that it will make the least bit of difference.” E.E.

people participated in this poll and who were they? Did she include in this survey the many people (more than half of Wyoming’s population) who live on the western side of Springfield Pike and who would certainly benefit from a faster response time from the fire department?

presumed of guilt by association within this proud company that is, appropriately named Cincinnati.com “Hope this solves the riddle of the moment, so that now you may concentrate those large brains on world hunger.” captbunky “I’ve been watching this and the government health departments are scared to death. After researching it heres a list of reasons for ‘increasing concern’ (in government speak): We have no natural immunity – historically pandemics come in waves, wave 2 is one to watch – this virus began in Northern Hemisphere in the spring; only one other pandemic began that way. See 1918 spanish flu – tenacious H1N1 continues to spread (slowly) when flu season is over in N hemisphere – most lethal in younger age groups like 1918 – ‘underlying health conditions’ is code for something, haven’t figured that out, Same strain family as 1918 H1N1.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Art studio draws on creativity By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com
Merlene Schain’s goal is to draw out the artist in anyone. The owner of Schain Studios in Glendale teaches a variety of art classes in the back of her shop on Congress Avenue. “If you are living and breathing today, you are a contemporary artist,” she said. “They are all contemporary artists,” Schain said of the six elementary-age students working on various art projects in a drawing class. “I’m teaching a skill and allowing them to think outside the box,” she said. Among the skills were blending colors to make a shade darker or lighter. No black pencils allowed. Elena Rempe, of Loveland, learned to use opposite colors to make a color darker. Using pastels, she colored orange over blue, then blended them to make a darker shade of blue. “You learn the creative part of problem solving,” Schain said. “It’s their creative journey and the competition is within themselves.” The front of the store is filled with artwork in many forms. Lighted stars made in California hang from the windows. Tables are filled with pottery that Schain made herself. There are bowls, pitchers and mugs. She made pottery soap dishes that can be paired with hand-milled soaps. Schain also sells jewelry that she and her sister, Elizabeth Midkiff made. Among the imported items are glass-beaded fish from Africa, as well as

Items are purchased through free trade, “so it doesn’t pass through so many hands,” she said. She also sells her own paintings. Schain earned her bachelor’s degree from the Art Institute of Chicago, and her master’s in fine arts from the University of Cincinnati. “Drawing is simply making a mark with anything,” Schain said. “I teach a myriad of ways of making marks to they have options.” Adults and students can sign up for drawing, painting or clay classes at the studio, 1125 Congress Ave. The cost is $30 per class with a minimum of six classes. Supplies are included.

Bob and Teresa Winhuesin are former ESL teachers who came back for the reunion. Sharon Rose Tyahur, Amy Howard and Shirley Longstreet are current teachers. The first reunion was held on a Thanksgiving. Some students had never seen a whole turkey before. One had been baffled by the variety of cheeses at a restaurant, so they had a cheese tasting as a way of teaching the difference. The ESL program also helps students prepare for citizenship exams. An innovative touch is to have them teach a craft from their native land in English. Pastor Tom originally came up with the idea for ESL for Hispanics. He told Shirley to develop it, and it became a natural fit for the Taiwanese. The curriculum is bible based, and you don’t have to be a member of either church to participate.

Be a ‘deadheader’ in the garden! Now, when we say the word “deadhead,” what do you think of? Truck drivers think about a return trip without any cargo. And you Grateful Dead fans may think about yourself – Deadheads. In the garden, deadheading has a totally different meaning. Deadheading is the art of removing spent flowers from a plant in order to achieve a few different things. The main idea behind deadheading is to stimulate more flowers. By pinching off the old flowers, it helps to stimulate new growth and more flowers. Some plants need a simple removal of the spent
f l o w e r, w h e r e o t h e r s may need removal of the spent flower as well as the stalk on Ron Wilson which it’s In the garden growing. T h i s process is used on both annuals and perennials (and woody plants as well). Deadheading is similar to a pinching or pruning process that helps keep plants more compact, rather than getting long and lanky. By removing the spent flowers and a bit of the stem below the flower, you’re encouraging a fuller plant. And of course, with more
new growth, in turn, you’ll have more new flowers. Deadheading also helps to eliminate the plants’ trying to go to seed, which can take a lot out of the plant. Instead of producing seed heads, the energy can be sent to the plant and its foliage, and in many cases the plants will continue to re-bloom. If you have coreopsis, a light shearing will help stimulate these plants to keep flowering all summer long, as well as keeping them nice and compact. Deadheading is also a way to help stimulate a second flowering period from plants that may typically flower only once. Summer flowering spirea is a good example. Once
they’re finished flowering, lightly shear off those spent flowers, and within a few weeks, a second flush of new growth will appear, along with a second period of flowering. As with some perennials and woody plants, even if deadheading doesn’t help stimulate more flowers, it definitely helps to keep your plants looking a lot nicer for the summer season. So, if you haven’t been a deadheader this summer, it’s never too late to get started. Your flowering plants will be glad you did! Ron Wilson is marketing manager for Natorp’s Inc. Garden Stores and is the garden expert for 55KRC-AM and Local 12. Reach him at columns@communitypress.com.

Today’s marriages as predicted 40 years ago The wedding season is upon us. It runs from spring to late autumn. It’s anybody’s guess how many weddings occurred just this last weekend. Today’s weddings occur in a sociological atmosphere quite different from that of a couple’s parents and grandparents. The current atmosphere we’ve collectively spawned over the years is no friend of the newly married, or long-married for that matter. Didn’t we ever see where we were going? Someone did. In 1970 an interesting book, “Future Shock,� was written by Alvin Toffler. He was a sociology professor at Cornell University who conducted research into future value systems. From this research he predicted what our culture could expect in the fast-arriving future and how it would affect our lives. He showed
how we were fast forming a “throw-awayâ€? society. This, in turn, would lead us to adopt a concept of transience – a new “temporarinessâ€? in everyday life as well as a mood of impermanence. This Age of Transience would soon affect our relationship with people, but also our attitude toward things, places, ideas, as well as toward institutions and organizations. He wrote, “The people of the future will live in a condition of ‘high transience’ – a condition in which the duration of relationships is cut short ‌ things, places, people, ideas, and organizational structures will all get ‘used up’ more quickly.â€? Permanent commitment to anything would become passĂŠ. Before most of last week’s brides and grooms were even born, Toffler predicted that success
in the marriage of the future would come to be determined by the degree to which matched development actually occurs between spouses. Love would be determined by the degree of shared growth, not necessarily by the giving of self. Yet, he goes on to say, “The mathematical odds are heavily stacked against any couple achieving this ideal of parallel growth. The odds plummet when the rate of change in a society accelerates, as it is now doing. “In a fast-moving society in which ‌ the family is again and again torn loose from home and community, in which individuals move further from their parents, further from the religion of origin, and further from traditional values, it is almost miraculous if two people develop at anything like comparable rates.â€? Dire words!
And now, almost 40 years later, our own observations bear him out. Human relationships have become more transient and the development of genuine love more tenuous. Love is now sought in serial marriages or clandestine affairs. In 1970 Toffler claimed that in the future those who marry will have an average of three marriages in their lifetime: the first for the expression of sexuality; the second for procreating children; and the third for companionship. “There will be some,� he predicted, “who, through luck, interpersonal skill and high intelligence, will find it possible to make long-lasting monogamous marriages work. Some will succeed in marrying for life and finding durable love and affection. But the others will fail to make even sequential marriages endure for
long.� My dear brides and Father Lou grooms, isn’t it remarkably sad Guntzelman that what was Perspectives predicted 39 years ago has now become true? May your marriage be counterculture, your commitment permanent, your love enduring. And may your children find in your relationship an inspiration for their own. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Reach him at columns@community press.com or contact him directly at P.O. Box 428541, Cincinnati, OH 45242. Please include a mailing address or fax number if you wish for him to respond.
The impact of Impact 100, music on school-age children Studies show that music education is instrumental in improving non-musical abilities such as literacy, verbal memory, visuospatial processing, standardized test scores and IQ, as well as improving self-concept in our nation’s children. Regardless of socioeconomic background, students who participate in their school musical instrument program are also significantly more likely to go on to college and graduate. In 2006, Impact 100 members awarded a $126,000 grant to the Wyoming Touchstone Project to expand its music education project in Greater
Cincinnati and do its part to benefit local children. The Touchstone Project was created to help at-risk children achieve greater success in school through music instruction and performance. The project provides stringed instrument instruction to students in elementary schools, free of cost. The school benefactors face economic hardships that might otherwise prevent parents and administrators from offering these children the opportunity to participate in the arts. Milan Dukic, executive director for the Touchstone Project and the Wyoming
Center for the Arts, said, “The lasting academic and social effects of music education that the Touchstone Project provides are undeniable. The impact of musical instruction on the child’s development has been well documented over the years, and thanks to Impact 100’s support, our project is starting to see some of those results first-hand.� Dukic recently highlighted the project’s impressive achievements. He identified five key areas of achievement. First, in 2006, Woodford Paideia Critical Thinking Academy in Kennedy Heights received a No. 1 ranking in the city in stan-
dardized test scores of its pre-school students, all of whom were learning violin through the program. As the program has grown and matured, it has experienced a growing involvement of the parents and families in the musical activities and after-school cultural activities. The first event saw participation from15 families. The second event was attended by more than 100 families, including more than 350 people. Additionally, enthusiasm for the violin program has translated into a greater pride at each individual school.
The program’s increased inclusion in school events and celebrations has directly impacted each school’s appeal to new parents and potential new students. Dukic further noted that non-participating principals within the Cincinnati Public School system are looking to bring the Project to their schools because of the program’s reputation and positive results. One of the strongest evidences of program success is a personal story of one of Touchstone’s first violin students, Kahlille Hummons. Dukic noted “A life changed was a direct result of the opportunity she had
22+ 77
& ! "
through the Touchstone Project.� Kahlille Hummons passed the rigorous admission process for the prestigious Walnut Hills High School. She also passed the audition for the school’s premier orchestral program. “This achievement is even more impressive when keeping in mind that Kahlille did this while attending one of the most underperforming CPS schools. “We continue to provide Kahlille with free private lessons, instrument and supplies needed. Kahlille’s achievement is a clear example of a full benefit that came to fruition.�

Got garden vegetables? Make frittata, slaw When we plant our vegetable garden, it seems like forever before it starts bearing. Then all of a sudden, I’m inundated with cucumbers, zucchinis and tomatoes. Then the corn comes on and we’re eating corn every night. I’m not complaining; in fact, I feel more than blessed. But the thing is I need to
clone myself just like I clone recipes for you. Anybody got ideas how to do that? Oh, and by the way, if you do figure out a way to clone me, I’ve got a few changes I’d like to make.
Dale and Julie Alexander’s
Fabulous Frittata
Frittatas are popular now: Mark Bittman of the New York Times has his version and Loveland readers Julie and Dale Alexander have theirs, too. “After moving to Loveland from Illinois last year, we found we really missed our Sunday morning breakfast place, Benedict’s in East
Dundee, Ill. One of our favorites was the Frittata Olé. We adapted a frittata recipe from Ina Garten, Barefoot Contessa, as a basis for our version of Frittata Olé. This is great for Sunday brunch with a Bloody Mary!” 3
⁄4 pound chorizo sausage (use the fresh, not smoked/cooked kind) 1 medium onion, diced 11⁄2 cups red and yellow pepper or green bell pepper, diced 4-6 green onions, chopped 9 extra large eggs 1 cup whipping cream 2 teaspoons Mexican seasoning (we use Penzey’s Southwest) 1 cup shredded Mexican style or cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon butter Sour cream Salsa Brown chorizo sausage in skillet, drain and crumble. In an oven-proof 10- or 11-inch skillet, melt butter and saute onions until translucent. Add 1 teaspoon of Mexican seasoning, stir in sausage, peppers and onions. Whisk eggs with cream. Whisk in 1 teaspoon Mexican spice. Pour half egg mixture into skillet with the other ingredients and stir. Add 1⁄2 cup of cheese. Add remaining egg mixture, stir slightly. Add remaining 1⁄2 cup cheese, stir slightly. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes until golden brown and eggs set. Garnish with sour cream and salsa. Serves six to eight.
Pelican’s Reef’s coleslaw
For Shari Weber, Anderson Township, and several others. “Something’s different in there and it’s so good,” she told me about this Anderson Township eatery. Well, after Trew, kitchen manager/chef got the OK to share this, turns out the “secret” could either be the celery seed or the restaurant’s own from-scratch mayo. “We want to serve our customers the best homemade food,” John Broshar, co-owner told me. Worth a visit for this alone or their new Caribbean slaw. 2 pounds shredded green cabbage About 2 cups shredded carrots 1 medium onion, diced fine Diced bell peppers, red and green 2 tablespoons celery seed 4 cups real mayonaise 1 ⁄2 cup cider vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar Salt Mix veggies together. Mix celery seed, mayo, vinegar and sugar. Pour over veggies. Adjust seasonings.
Tips from Rita’s kitchen
1. Zucchini: Leave peel on if you like (I like). When packing for freezer, put more shredded zucchini in the container than you think you’ll need. When thawing, push out excess liquid if using in baked goods. That way you’ll get enough.
2. D o n ’ t overmix Rita b r e a d Heikenfeld batter! T h a t Rita’s kitchen includes zucchini, banana or other quick bread batter! Remember, it’s a “quick bread” batter and that means to stir wet ingredients into dry very gently until moistened. Overmixing makes for a dense, sometimes gooey, bread with “tunnels.”
Delicious drinks that lower blood pressure
Water (you knew that, right?), hibiscus tea (most herb teas contain hibiscus), grape juice. Careful with energy drinks – check caffeine content, which can elevate blood pressure. Pucker up: A squeeze of lemon juice in your first glass of water helps form and repair collagen, is a gentle liver cleanser, and is great for your immune system and stress. Plus, the vitamin C helps your body absorb iron better.

NEWSMAKERS Wais honored
The Greater Cincinnati Planned Giving Council (GCPGC) honored Margaret Berning Wais for her selfless generosity and foresight that will benefit St. Rita School for the Deaf for generations to come. The Evendale-based nonprofit nominated Wais for the GCPGC Voices of Giving Award. Because both of her grandfathers, Joseph Berning and Peter Bergman, were involved with school since its inception in 1915, Wais does not remember a
In total, GCPGC gave 20 Voices of Giving Awards to honorees whose gifts are helping to ensure diverse causes will be viable for the future. Collectively they have committed to giving millions, but more importantly they committed to leaving their legacy. “Greater Cincinnati is a generous, caring community and non-profit organizations are an especially important aspect of our lives,” Andrea Herzig, president of GCPGC told the audience at the Awards
time when St. Rita was not part of her life. Her fondest childhood memory is following along on the shirttails of her father on the grounds of St. Rita. The term “it takes a village to raise a child” could have been coined by her family as it has truly taken a village, the Cincinnati community and four generations of her family to raise St. Rita School for the Deaf. Wais’ decision to include St. Rita School for the Deaf in her charitable trust is a lasting tribute to her legacy.

RAVENWOOD CASTLE: A MOST UNUSUAL GETAWAY Visit a “medieval castle” on a high hilltop on 115 secluded and forested acres of the most beautiful area of Southeast Ohiothe Hocking Hills! Owners Sue & Jim Maxwell are creating the most unusual guest experience of stepping back 800 years in a reconstruction of a “12th century Norman castle.” The Maxwells have traveled throughout England & Scotland & have always loved castles & the medieval era. Although the building is new, the couple has been collecting architectural antiques for several years. Each guest room or suite has a stained glass window, usually in the bedroom, a Victorian fireplace mantel with a gas log unit, antique light fixtures and some have beautiful old doors. The wood mouldings around the door & windows & the 5 stairways are inspired by centuries old motifs from Great Britain’s stately homes & castles. Most rooms also have a French door with a balcony, private deck overlooking the forest. There are also “medieval” themed cottages with fireplaces and whirlpools. Ravenwood has
