The Fifth Third Bank property as 10320 St. Rita Lane will soon be owned by the village of Evendale. Village council approved the sale at a recent meeting. The sale of 1.54 acres will cost the village $450,000, which was appropriated from the Capital Improvement Fund. “We felt that this was a good acquisition for land banking to correspond with the hotel site across the street,” said Councilmember Doug Lohmeier, who backs property acquistion in the village. Two years ago, the village bought the adjacent property, an 11-acre site that housed a hotel that was demolished after the purchase. Assistant to the Mayor Jack Cameron said the building had been a constant problem over the last decade and after the purchase as a “good opportunity to get rid of the eyesore” after it went into foreclosure. He said there are no specific plans for either property other than to make it part of a bigger

The village should close on the sale by the end of the month. Before the sale is complete, an environmental study must be con-

ducted to determine that there are no environmental hazards that would cost the village more than estimated. Cameron said the only thing expected to turn up is some asbestos from the construction which occured in the 1960s and 1970s.

Wyoming board candidate has sued district By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com

A former employee with a pending lawsuit against Wyoming schools is one of five candidates for three seats on the district’s Board of Education. His wife is one of the other candidates. Vernon and Jennifer Etler said they both decided to run for the seats because “if we won, with two of us on the board, there would be two people that would want the same thing,” Jennifer Etler said. Vernon Etler has a lawsuit pending against the school board, but said that’s not why he’s running. He didn’t provide details, but said he was demoted because he brought safety concerns to the district. “I think they’re going to think

I’m going to retaliate, but I’m not,” he said of the job he held for 13 years. “I’d like to have my job back in building maintenance.” The other three candidates declined to discuss the lawsuit. They said they want fiscal responsibility. “There are better ways of doing business,” Vernon Etler said. The Etlers said they represent the Wyoming households that need both parents to work to make ends meet. “There are ways to save money,” Jennifer Etler said. “I have a 70-year-old neighbor on a fixed income,” she said of her focus on finances.

Sharonville family among those to walk, roll for spina bifida By Kelly McBride Reddy

Baylee Meyer of Sharonville will participate in the Walk and Roll to raise funds for the Spina Bifida Association.

Some will walk. Others will run. Many will roll. All are raising awareness of and funds for the Spina Bifida Association. The annual Walk and Roll takes place Sept. 26 at Miami Whitewater Forest’s Shaker Trace Trail in Harrison, and a Sharonville family will be there, keeping pace. Baylee Meyer, 11, of Sharonville has spina bifida. The former Evendale Elementary student will attend Princeton Community Middle School this year. Her mom, Kelly, said Baylee’s challenges have been both physical and emotional, and the association offers help through program and activity funding, camp scholarships, primary education assistance and regional conferences. “It’s also very hard on a parent, emotionally and physically,” Meyer said. “When she want to Washington, D.C., with her fifth-grade class, my hus-

It’s exhausting.” For Baylee, it’s been a long haul, with 21 surgeries in her 11 years. “She has challenges,” Meyer said. “She wears braces to her knees and has an awkward gait. “She doesn’t have the muscle tone that others have,” she said, “and uses forearm crutches, sometimes a wheelchair. “She falls a lot.”

Meyer said she hopes the walk also raises awareness of the disability. Diane Burns, who is president of the local chapter, said the association wanted to do “anything we can do to raise awareness.” Her 11-year-old daughter, Maria, has spina bifida. “Until you walk in those shoes, you don’t really know,” Burns said. “It’s not just ambulatory. It’s cognitive, fine motor, all of those skills are impacted.

The Spina Bifida Association’s ninth annual Walk and Roll is presented by Cincinnati Bell and the Cincinnati Bell Technology Solutions. The two- or four-mile course begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, rain or shine. Prizes will go to the topearning team, the team with the most participants, and best online fundraising page. The event includes picnic food and beverages. For more information or to register, go to www.sbacincy.org or call 9231378. “It’s a pretty complex disability that includes most organs and functions of your body.” Meyer said the walk is also important because the association has lost some state funding due to the economy. “We’re having to rely more and more on donations,” she said. “A couple bucks goes a long way.”

Wyoming company moving to new location, adding service A Wyoming business that offers organizational consulting services to businesses is moving to a new office as it prepares to add a new service. InterPro Teambuilding Systems, currently on Crescent Avenue, will relocate to 504 Wyoming Ave., in the center of the city’s business district. The current building will be dismantled as part of an expansion of nearby Crescent Park. “I was hoping to stay in

Wyoming,” said Noele Williams, president of InterPro. “I grew up here and still live here,” she said. “It’s important for me on a personal level, and on a professional level too, to support the community. “I’m happy with the new location because of the development here over the last year,” she said. “It feels like a family center, and the sense of community is strong.” InterPro will occupy space on the second floor of the building on Wyoming Avenue.

The company consists of Williams, her husband, Andre Williams, who is vice president; client development manager Allyson Berlon and office manager Sheryl Rainwater. InterPro, in business for 18 years, helps organizations maximize their potential through leadership development and team building. It also offers development support to help companies restructure more efficiently or help realize a vision or mission. The new division, which kicks off in the fall, is called

Springdale officials are reminding residents that those who have home improvement projects and need help funding them can still apply for help under a Hamilton County Block Grant Program. City Administrator Derrick Parham, in his report to council, pointed out that $9,000 of the $20,000 allotted for 2009 remains. Each homeowner who qualifies through income criteria can receive up to $1,000 for improvements to the exterior of a residence. “The homeowner has to submit a plan to the city, get the OK to do the work,” Parham said. “Then receipts are submitted and the work is inspected. Then, the city reimburses (the homeown-

er).” Under the program, Hamilton County reimburses the city those funds. “This removes the obstacle if financial hardship is preventing a property from being improved,” Councilman Steve Galster said. Springdale has received approval for $20,000 in 2010 and 2011, as well. During the meeting: • Council approved an ordinance accepting the proposal of TEC Engineering Inc. for a traffic signal upgrade project. The first part of the product, not to exceed $59,260, includes mapping, preliminary design and plans. Part two, which completes the project, was approved for an amount not to exceed $59,564. The work will be performed on Route 4, Route

The village of Evendale was one of the top nine communities in Hamilton County for increases in recycling for the first six months of 2009. Michelle Balz, solid waste outreach coordinator for the Hamilton County Environmental Services, said that Evendale recycled 20.09 percent of the total waste generated in the township from Jan. 1 to June 30, up 24.42 percent from the same period last year. Jack Cameron, assistant to the mayor, said that the village’s switch to CSI Waste Management as the curbside pickup earlier this year may have contributed to the increase in recycling. “With the switch they provided a recycling cart and we put a few words in newsletters to draw peoples'

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Recyclable materials include: • plastic bottles and jugs (remove lids); • glass bottles and jars (remove lids); • empty aerosol cans (remove lids and tips); • aluminum and steel cans; • paperboard (cereal boxes, etc.); • junk mail and envelopes; • magazines, catalogs, and phone books; • newspapers; • cardboard; • office paper; • brown grocery bags attention to the recycling,” Cameron said. The company provided a 65-gallon recycling bin along with a regular trash bin. Balz said Evendale will benefit from the Residential

Recycling Incentive, which is aimed at getting more communities to recycle and offering a reward to the village. In the incentive program, Balz has $1,050,000 each year – $525,000 every six months – to divide between the participating communities in Hamilton County based on the percentage of recycled material. Balz said there are 48 communities in Hamilton County, but only 43 participate in the recycling program. Balz said Rumpke and CSI weigh the recycling trucks after returning from routes in the communities. Some routes are restricted to the village, but others cross over into other communities. She said when the route crosses over into other communities, the companies estimate the tonage of recycling by dividing the amount between the communities according to how many stops were in each area.

Glendale council denies appeal to split property into three lots By Kelly McBride Reddy kreddy@communitypress.com

A Glendale resident who sought approval to split his East Fountain Avenue property into three lots made his case again to Village Council, hoping to overturn the Planning Commission’s denial of his request. The denial was upheld in a split vote. Three members of council voted to uphold the denial, and three voted to overturn it. Mayor Joseph Hubbard did not vote, and ruled that Ralph Navaro didn’t receive the required four votes to overturn the denial. Navaro, with his attorney, C. Francis Barrett and architect represented by Ben Novosel of RWA Architects, presented dozens of exhibits and reports to show how the 2.38-acre lot could be divided to meet village requirements. At council’s March 2 meeting, members had approved a split that divided the property into two parcels. Navaro returned to planning commission to request another property split that would create a third lot on the original plat. The planning commis-

Glendale Village Council voted not to allow Ralph Navaro to further split his lot into three parcels. KELLY MCBRIDE REDDY/STAFF

Barrett said that though the house has some features, such as foundation and some interior walls, from the original home built in 1854, that building is no longer in existence, so the home is not considered historic. The property is the site of the home of Judge Stanley Matthews, who built his home before the village was incorporated. “Judge Matthews never lived in the current house,”

Navaro said of his home. The current residence was built in 1927. In determining that the house has no historic significance, the decision could not be based on the guidelines for historic structures. In granting the original lot split, council approved a 1.46-acre lot. Navaro had the option to approach the planning commission again to request further subdivision. He did. They did not recommend to council that the lot be split further. “The subdivision of the lot was creating a nonbuildable lot,” Village Solici-

tor Michael Honerlaw said of the middle lot that would have been created. “That was the basis of the denial.” Novosel showed plans that accommodated homes of similar size, scale and mass that were set back on the lot, considering the footprint of Navaro’s home and a nearby contributing structure to the east. Novosel also showed that the land was raised where Navaro’s house is located, with the property proceeding downhill to the end of the lot. Any other houses built on the lot would have a lower elevation than Navaro’s home, which is considered the pivotal structure. Council members Ralph Hoop, Nikki Alles-White and Debbie Grueninger voted to uphold the plan-

ning commission’s denial. William Aronstein, Jenny Kilgore and Alan Hoeweler voted to overturn the planning commission’s recommendation.

“When I looked at the subdivision and historic preservation guidelines, they provide guidance,” Hoop said. “They (planning commission) feel it’s an unbuildable lot.” “They (Navaro, Barrett and Novosel) demonstrated that the property meets all of the requirements of our zoning code,” Aronstein said. “No plans for buildings have been submitted, but it’s well within the realm of possibility that a building would fit. “These lots are adequate in size, with setbacks,” he said. “The only question is a subjective application of building plans that haven’t been submitted. He called for a decision to be “administered objectively, with as little personal feeling as possible.” Kilgore agreed. “I do not see a restriction in our ordinance to prohibit the subdivision.” With that, the appeal was denied. Said Navaro: “See you in court.”

Wyoming survives CHL scare By Mark Chalifoux

Tucker Skove (10 carries, 87 yards and one touchdown) and Jeff Aubin (nine carries, 78 yards, two touchdowns) also had productive days on the ground for Moeller. Quarterback Andrew Hendrix was 12-for-20 passing for 109 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions.

mchalifoux@communitypress.com

After cruising for three weeks, the Wyoming Cowboys faced their first real test in the start of CHL play. The Cowboys survived Reading 28-21 and face their second CHL foe of the season, Mariemont, on Sept. 25. While Reading was able to get some traction against the Cowboys, Mariemont will struggle to match that. The Warriors will face an offense that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scored fewer than 28 points in a game this season. Even against Reading, the Cowboys were impressive offensively. Wyoming quarterback Kyle Seyfried was 23-for-26 passing for 200 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also had 72 rushing yards on 14 carries for the other two touchdowns. Seyfried leads the CHL in passing with 1,052 yards in just four games. His closest competitor has less than half of that. Running back Isaiah Nearor is second in the CHL with 352 rushing yards and is Wyomingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorer. The Cowboysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense has put up 160 points through four games while the defense has given up only 44. As impressive as the Wyoming offense has been, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the defense that has given the offense great opportunities to score. Led by defensive tackle Jibreel Black, the Wyoming defense has been stifling opponents. Senior defensive back Jacob Allsop is one of the CHL leaders in interceptions and his late interception against Reading sealed the win.

Tighe caught 5 passes for 30 yards on the game. Junior quarterback Kyle Seyfried was 24-27 through the air for 200 yards and 2 touchdowns and ran 15 times for 77 yards and 2 more touchdowns.

The game, originally scheduled for Sept. 18, was postponed until Sunday, Sept. 20, after deadline. The game was rescheduled because as many as 22 Roger Bacon players exhibited flu-like symptoms last week. The Spartans play at Fenwick Sept. 25.

St. Xavier 43, Louisville Trinity 13 Tony Davis and Eric Price have also been standouts on the defense. The Cowboys will face an offense that has struggled at times to score points and the teams have one common opponent, CHCA. Wyoming dismantled CHCA 39-3 in the season opener. Mariemont lost 35-13 to CHCA in week three.

Fairfield 17, Princeton 14

Fairfield junior Josh Pfaff kicked a 37-yard field goal with 17 seconds left to beat the Vikings. Princeton trailed 6-0 before senior Spencer Ware and junior Justin Cornwall each scored a rushing touchdown in the second and third quarters, respectively, to give the Vikings a 14-6 lead.

Moeller 49, Findlay 7

The Crusaders kept its undefeated season alive with a week-four win on the road over Findlay, 49-7. Moeller hosts Mentor in week five at Lockland Stadium at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. In week four, Moeller

out-gained Findlay by a 615-146 yard margin during its 42-point victory. The Crusaders scored 21 points in both the first and second quarters and had a 42-7 lead going into halftime. Joseph Bracken carried the ball for 133 yards and a touchdown on 26 attempts for Moeller. Richie Dyer scored twice on the ground while gaining 100 yards on 10 carries.

The Bombers led 27-0 after the first quarter and 43-0 by halftime. The 43 points allowed by Trinity were the most in one half in school history. St. Xavier senior Luke Massa was six-of-eight passing for 101 yards and three touchdowns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all before calling it a night late in the second quarter. Most of Massaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yards came on a 60-yard touchdown strike to senior wide receiver Will Carroll. The Bombers amassed 307 total yards, 206 of which were on the ground. Senior running back Nate Ley led the way with nine carries for 78 yards, while junior Daniel Braswell and sophomore Conor Hundley combined for 81 yards and two touchdowns. St. Xavier (4-0) plays at Highlands (5-0) Sept. 25.

Mount Notre Dame rolling through season By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

With an 8-1 record (as of Sept. 17), the Mount Notre Dame volleyball team is rolling through the regular season. The Cougars boast wins over Chaminade Julienne, Centerville, St. Henry Sycamore, St. Ursula, Butler, Seton and McAuley. The key to their success has been ball control, which was on display during a 3-0 win over Seton Sept. 15. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our ball control and first contacts were great tonight,â&#x20AC;? first-year head coach Joe Burke said following the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That allowed us to run a lot of different sets.â&#x20AC;? The Cougars dominated their first two games against the Saints before going down to the wire in the third. But the Cougars never panicked, holding on for a

MND won 3-0. 25-23 win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told (my players) that (Seton) is a good team and that we need to focus on what we do,â&#x20AC;? said Burke, whose team quelled the Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final-set surge. Several players have contributed to the Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success this season, includ-

ing seniors Kate Eckels of Loveland (MB), Marissa Otto of Maineville (OH), Megan Rohlfs of Loveland (DS/L) and Lauren Rohlfs of Loveland (DS), who has missed some action after rolling her ankle. MND has also had to overcome the loss of starting senior setter Kristen Caccimelio of Mason, who is out with a broken hand. Sophomore Aubree Hord of Loveland and junior Janna Reilly of Mason, however, have provided consistency at setter for the Cougars, whose only setback this season was a 3-2 loss to Lakota West Sept. 3 MND hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost a game since, reeling off five straight 3-0 victories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our team defense is really beginning to pick up,â&#x20AC;? Burke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But one thing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re continuing to work on is our confidence. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go on three-to-five point spurts

where we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a decent hit on the ball, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to work on that.â&#x20AC;? The Cougars need their confidence to be soaring when they play at Ursuline (8-0, 3-0) Sept. 24. The Lions finished 28-1 in 2008, eliminated MND from the playoffs and were state

runners-up. They return many players from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad, including allleague performers Dani Reinert and Jade Henderson. Burke didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate in proclaiming UA the team to beat in the Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Greater Cincinnati League, but he said that his team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or any GGCL team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has a chance to tame the seemingly invincible Lions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every night in the GGCL is a battle,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any team can knock off any team.â&#x20AC;? Win or lose, Burke remains focused on the big picture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing in one of the best conferences in the state â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and maybe the country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will only make us more ready to battle come tournament time,â&#x20AC;? he said. MND won state titles in 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2006.

Princeton grad in Mohawk hall of fame

Spartans looking for turnaround By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com

The Roger Bacon Spartans’ soccer season thus far can be summed up as follows. “We were competitive in three games,” Roger Bacon High School boys’ soccer coach Dick Arszman said. “In the other two, not so much.” Unfortunately for the Spartans (0-5, 0-1 as of Sept. 16), all five games ended in losses. They lost 2-1 to Wyoming, 3-1 to Cincinnati Country Day, 5-0 to Winton Woods, 2-1 to Finneytown and 6-0 to St. Xavier. “We’re struggling,” Arszman said. “More than

anything, it’s a lack of numbers and depth. We don’t have a lot of subs.” Senior midfielders Jordan Jatzek and Mark Vetere are the top players for Roger Bacon. “They’re the two best that I have,” Arszman said. “It just takes time to get everyone on the same wavelength.” Arszman, who has also been impressed with the play of senior defender Matt Schaeffer, said that winning a GCL-Grey title is still a possibility. “Winning our division can be done,” he said. “We’ll get better as the season goes on. I really think we’re on the verge of turning the corner.”

A McAuley High School teacher for 30 years, Velma Lehman of Finneytown was inducted into the Princeton High School Hall of Fame, Sept. 4. Lehman is a Princeton graduate. PROVIDED

McAuley. Lehman said “It was quite an honor to be recognized for athletic achievement in a time when girls’ sports were not prominent.” She received a beautiful gold ring and a plaque to commemorate her induction. Velma has an 11-yearold daughter, Ashley, and lives in Finneytown.

Time to put Americans back in United States

Many years ago I wrote a letter to the editor of the Enquirer. In it I stated that the problem with America is that there are too many Democrats and Republicans and not enough Americans. At no time has this been more true than today! The leadership of both parties is beholden not to the public, but to those large donors who finance their election. If we critically examine the issues proposed by the Democrats, they are wasteful of both jobs and money. To the shame of the Republicans, they oppose these crazy ideas without offering any sensible alternatives. Who, if anyone is looking out for the working folks and employers who make up the “real America?” In short, the answer is no one. Members of Congress earn over three times the wages of the average American plus retirement and medical benefits well beyond what we can ever hope for. Recent

events show that few, if any, of them truly understand or have ever read the Constitution. The quote that I am about to offer is attributed to either Edward James Madison or Levy Benjamin Franklin. During the ConstiCommunity tutional ConvenPress guest tion one of the columnist above was asked, “what form of government will we have?” The answer, “a Republic, if you can keep it!” Dear readers, we are dangerously close to losing our Republic! We are very close to becoming a democracy. Writers throughout history have noted that democracies generally turn into dictatorships. One of the earliest was Plato.

Writers throughout history have noted that democracies generally turn into dictatorships. Plato wrote that with the assumption of a dictatorship civil unrest, injustice and bloodshed was the usual result. unrest, injustice and bloodshed was the usual result. If you want a more recent example, consider Germany of the 1920s. At that time Germany was one of the most liberal democracies in the world. Need I say more? I am sorry for all this doom and gloom I have presented, but it had to be said. I do have a possible solution. There will be a general election next year. I urge all Americans to forget party politics and vote against all incumbents from the state level to the national level. During the run-up to the election we should make every candidate promise to read and

CH@TROOM Sept. 16 questions

Do you ever use the “Express Lane” on Interstate 275? Why or why not? No responses. Has there been a decline in civility at town hall meetings and public meetings in general? If so, why is this happening? “Wordnetweb defines civility as: politeness: the act of showing regard for others. “In a interactive communication process such as town hall meetings, the constituents arrive with the expectation that their concerns will be listened to, heard and processed, with relevant feedback provided by the representative or official. The public arrives anticipating that the officials will in fact show a regard for others. “Alas, the representatives’ frequent dismissal of pointed, toughto-answer, on-the-spot questions and continued reliance on grandstanding or canned rhetoric causes confusion and conflict. Soon frustration sets it and the natural tendency of the public is to address the absence of civility or the climate of rudeness with a reciprocal response. “The hypothesis is: If officials actually start to listen and provide direct, sincere answers – thus treating their constituents with due respect and civility – will the behavior of the public follow suit?” “Momma duck, baby duck.” D.M. “Unfortunately, yes, there has been a decline in civility at town halls and other public meetings. It is undoubtedly politically motivated. It’s sad to think that this is what they are teaching our children; as how to accomplish anything for the common good. The behavior is not only childish, It has been rude and prone toward violence. Most people want to hear the facts and debate the issues, not just listen to someone screaming obscenities and name calling. I hope this is not the new America. They have turned off a lot of people by this behavior. Where are the statesmen?” A.T. “Please correct me if I am wrong, but more than one elected politician was rude to president Bush when he spoke to Congress,

Next question Evendale is buying the former Fifth Third Bank site on GlendaleMilford Road and already owns the vacant hotel site next to it. What would you like to see the village do with those properties? What new or returning fall TV show are you most looking forward to watching? Why? Every week The Tri-County Press asks readers a question they can reply to via e-mail. Send your answers to tricountypress@communitypress.c om with Chatroom in the subject line. but the media didn’t care. Now that a Republican did the same, the media is in an uproar. In regards to public meetings such as the recent tea parties, it is my understanding that they have been very civil and those attending were very responsible for their own behavior – and the media didn’t mention them. I understand the town hall meetings have been less than serene, but I understand that many people feel that they are being lied to and the country that they love is being ruined, so tempers are going to flare.” D.K. “Our society has changed over the past few years and it’s indicative off how our society has gone from being respectful to others and not having any decorum about openly expressing themselves. It used to be we were seen and not heard, if we wanted to speak, we raised our hands and waited to be chosen to speak. And when we’d speak, we respected those whom we addressed. Now, it seems as if this sort of malicious outspoken disrespectful opposition is seen as customary. That is just what we’ve seen as even those who address the president, to MTV awards.

VOICES FROM THE WEB Boy, oh boy

Visitors to Cincinnati.com/sharonville posted these comments to a story about a 15-year-old Sharonville boy who led Blue Ash police on a high-speed chase early Monday that ended in a crash in the 4100 block of Wenbrook Drive: “Throw his parents in jail too for gross parenting incompetence. Since this punk endangered the lives of innocent people he should be charged with attempted murder as he choose to flee and he could have easy killed someone.” idiot-detector “When I was 14, I rode a bicycle!!” beachbum77 “I think the paper needs a new policy about juvenile crime. If you report a story about some crime because you deem it newsworthy, then the perps should be named. “If the paper’s goal is to "protect" these kids, then don’t even report the story.” VirginianSCA “I think this kid should not be allowed to get a driver’s license – ever. He could have killed somebody. As far as ‘idiotdetector’ wrote – I’m not 100 percent sure that the parents are incompetent. They may not have been home and the kid was being completely irresponsible. Some kids ‘just don’t get it,’ no matter how hard the parents try to be good, responsible parents. Then, again, maybe the whole family is questionable. Who knows! “It is way too easy for kids to get driver’s licenses. Maybe there should be a test section that has questions about choices, responsibility, good common sense. Something like the Rohrshach test. They can figure out a lot through that one. It’s just too easy and these kids get permits at 15-1/2 yrs old now.” grandmasunshine

Calling their raise

Visitors to Cincinnati.com/wyoming posted these comments to a story about the Wyomng School Board rejecting proposed raises in the base salaries for teachers: “If anyone needs a raise it’s our teachers ... I mean they do put up with your screaming brats all day.” shortyG “I am in agreement with the board that the additional increases should not apply this year. I also believe the ‘step’ increases should be completely eliminated. Many of the taxpayers have had to forego raises this year and cannot afford to give teachers raises, especially when given because a union says they’re entitled just for sake of showing up for another eight to nine months of work. Unions and the ‘entitlement’ philosophy have killed our auto industry, our education system, etc... I believe in raises for high performing teachers who get results, i.e. who motivate kids to learn and then effectively teach them what they need to learn. I believe in disciplining (and, if there’s no improvement, then firing) the ineffective teachers.” lovedbaby “In response to shortyG – good teachers enjoy children, maintain order in the classroom for the sake of all students, and consider children a joy (and the reason for their important job) rather than considering them brats. If a teacher believes kids to be brats, he/she should likely find another line of work.” lovedbaby

bration in the administration that only 216,000 jobs were lost last month. This is small comfort to those who lost jobs. The government should quit listening to the Keynesian economists who have never been right. Unfortunately they teach a subject they have never practiced. People who are out of work and get a small hand out use it only for bare necessities. When someone has a real job, they eventually spend money that boosts the economy. The way to create jobs is to make it profitable to hire people. The administration has made it clear that if you hire people you will be taxed into insolvency.

Christopher Steineman, a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist, plans to study bio-medical engineering in college.

Princeton student school’s sole National Merit semifinalist By Kelly McBride Reddy

Wyoming semifinalists

kreddy@communitypress.com

The Princeton High School senior who stands alone as a National Merit Scholarship semi-finalist has been excelling throughout his years at the school. Christopher Steineman of Sycamore Township is the only Princeton student to be in the running among about 16,000 nationwide for 8,200 scholarships. He entered the competition through the 2008 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, earning a spot in a group that represents less than one percent of high school seniors. “When any kid meets that type of platform, it’s representative of their collective work,” said William Sprankles, Princeton high school principal. “Chris has handled business for quiet a while,” he said of Steineman’s accomplishments. Besides being a member of the varsity soccer team, where he’s played virtually all positions, Steineman has stood out academically throughout his high school years. As a junior, he took home six medals, as well as honors for excellence in math and science. “At the academic awards last year, he cleaned house,” Sprankles said of

Seven students at Wyoming High School are National Merit semifinalists: Patrick Ammerman, Deborah Backman, Matthew Chan, Abigail Glackin, Karina Graeter, Ellen O’Brien and Anthony Papa. Steineman. “He understands the importance of school and education in general,” Sprankles said. “Outside of the National Merit Scholarship, he’s a top caliber student regardless.” Steineman, whose favorite subject is math, said he wants to study biomedical engineering in college. “I always knew I wanted to study engineering,” he said. “I like to take things apart and put them back together.” Previously, he didn’t like biology, but through a teacher’s urging, he took a class. To his surprise, he enjoyed the subject. “So, I’m going to combine biology and engineering,” Steineman said. “It’s nice knowing you’re helping people,” he said of the bio-engineering field. “He has a passion,” Sprankles said. “You’re the best of the best on this assessment.”

Carey on: PR pro kneads to stay busy Do you know whose latest venture is baking bread, and whose passion is fly-fishing? If you guessed Robyn Carey Allgeyer, former communications director at Princeton City Schools, you were correct. There isn’t room to write about all she’s done and is doing. Her public relations career includes the top Evelyn c o m m u n i c a t i o n s Perkins positions with the Community Cincinnati Opera, the Press Cincinnati Symphoand Pops Orchescolumnist ny tras, the Dallas Ballet, the Grapevine Opry Theatre and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. She created strategic marketing for the Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati and the Nashville Opera. The two-hour commute and an earthquake in Los Angeles sealed her decision to return home. She and her siblings are Princeton graduates, and she wanted the same artistic and athletic advantages for her children, Ben, Sophie and Gaby. She’s been back home since 1994. The eldest of four children, by the sixth-grade she had attended six schools in five states. Her late father was the renowned Bob Carey, Michigan State All-American, who played for the Bears and Rams and coached at Arizona State. Robyn was born in Phoenix, and viewed each move as a challenging adventure. Her grandmother and mother took the children to Europe in 1968. Later Robyn was an exchange student in Belgium. After graduating from Indiana University and working as a DJ, she wanted to leave the Midwest and took the DJ job at a rock station in Beaumont, Texas. She says, “Radio stays in your system. I also worked at WNOP Jazz Radio.” Expressing her strong desire to

Their annual fundraiser honors excellent educators in each district. Ticket and sponsorship monies go to UC and Xavier for scholarships to help teachers further their education to address this shortage. Robyn does voice-over work for various training films, is the on-court announcer and on the PR committee for the Western and Southern Masters and Women’s Open tennis tournaments, and is a regular contributing reporter for WVXU, 91.7 FM (National Public Radio). The arts abound in the family. Husband and jazz pianist Rob Allgeyer is rebuilding a player piano. Robyn has been busy settling her niece Ellie and daughter Gaby at UC. Gaby will be at the School of Arts and Sciences and Ellie will be in the drama department of CCM. There is a wonderful picture of Robyn’s grandmother posing in a period ballet costume.

Robyn’s fertile mind led her to an interest in baking bread, which she sells at farmer’s markets along with vegetables from her garden. The bread sold out in half an hour the first time she offered it. Blue Bird bakery will give her shelf space one or two days a week for her rosemary, cottage onion dill and sour dough recipes. Robyn’s breads will also be available at the Glendale Street Fair, and the expanded Blue Bird Bakery should be ready to open before the fair. Jack Buescher invites everyone to attend Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 am to 7 pm. The Glendale Heritage Preservation Museum will offer tours of the historic district in carriages pulled by magnificent Clydesdale horses. GHP encourages residents to volunteer at the museum, learn the history and man the gift shop. Jack says it is a great opportunity to meet new people and further the organization’s mission. GHP is also looking for Glendale ghost stories to include in their Halloween display. Evelyn Perkins writes a regular column about people and events in the Tri-County Press area.

Local grad on elite team

Andrew Winders graduated from Princeton High School in 2008. Upon graduation he completed Air Force basic training at Lackland AFB in Texas. After a 10-day visit back to Cincinnati he was stationed in Washington, D.C., at Bollings Air Force Base. After an additional grueling eight weeks of training Winders was selected to be a member of the United States Air Force Honor Guard Drill Team, an elite unit of the Air Force. Members are picked from the best of the best to tour the country with the drill team. The drill team standard 16-person performance features a professionally choreographed sequence of weapon maneuvers, precise tosses, complex weapon

exchanges, and a walk through the gauntlet of spinning weapons. Throughout the year, the drill team works with Air Force Recruiting Service to provide presence to hundreds of locations. The team tours various Air Force bases, civilian events and local schools, as well as spends substantial time providing community relations performances to thousands visiting Washington, D.C. The drill team also serves as the lead office for all USAF Honor Guard recruiting. During his four years at Princeton High School he was a member of the NJROTC, which greatly helped in his training and discipline for the drill team.

Life

When two people marry, one of the greatest mysteries of life is gradually demystified before their eyes. For when we marry, love itself comes to live with us. As children we learned there was something called love. Parents, older siblings, schoolmates, songs and movies spoke of it. Often they seemed to imply that love actually was sexuality. We didn’t understand. Yet, since we were old enough to know love existed, and then soon felt its attraction and enchantment we looked for love, too. After many futile relationships, heartaches, and years of searching, we believed we found true love with a special person. It must be true love, we thought, because of the thrilling way it made us feel. We were in love! Our wedding was beautiful, our honeymoon was spent somewhere with our bodies in each other’s arms, and then we moved into a little home of our own. When we moved in, love moved in with us - though we didn’t realize all its intentions. One day we

We can even become disappointed and disillusioned and start looking for the mystified version again. were amazed when love took off its clothes, stretched out on our bed while eating an apple, and announced it was here to stay. Suddenly, this elusive and mysterious thing called love was not so elusive or hidden. Rather, it became that which cannot be gotten rid of (unless we made the decision to throw it out.) What was glamorous and exciting and sexy now has its days when it is anything but all that. What was a dream is now here and asking daily to be listened to. In “The Mystery of Marriage,” author Mike Mason notes, “The situation with love, now that one is married, becomes comparable to

the philosophical question about the dog chasing the car - “What happens if he catches it?” Marriage faces spouses with the same question, “What do you do with love once you have finally caught it?” In a sense, he opines, marriage is a trap. A trap to get us to be brave enough to live with love day after day and to learn what love really is. For God knows, we misunderstand love. Spouses quickly become surprised to find out what’s underneath love’s charming exterior, and to know it when it’s stark naked and demystified. As Mason notes, over the years love sometimes pulls the rug out from under us, turns the world upside down, or throws a pail of cold water in our faces and says, “You haven’t learned about me yet!” It demands the very best we can offer. And at other times that are just glorious, love teaches us it is the most exquisite thing in the world. When love is demystified and lives with us in the ordinary of every day, it is bothersome at first. We can even become disappointed

and disillusioned and start looking for the mystified version again. We’re all seduced at times by the French proverb, “Only the beginnings of love are beautiful” But true love has its own purpose in being so demanding. Its purpose is to gradually transform us and turn us into genuine lovers. That’s why it employs such drastic strategies: asking us to forgive over and over again; to be patient with each other and ourselves; to communicate instead of pouting or keeping a cool distance. Later in life, and especially in the next, love will take off its earthly mask and become further demystified. We will recognize that, as the scriptures say, “God is love,” and that all along he was growing us and teaching us what true love means.

Get your hands on homemade foaming soap With the school year in full swing and flu season upon us, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all into the â&#x20AC;&#x153; w a s h y o u r h a n d s Rita o f t e n â&#x20AC;? Heikenfeld mode. I Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kitchen thought it would be good to share my recipe for homemade foaming soap.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually been around a while but is sure timely today. Plus by making your own foaming soap, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save money and be doing your part to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;green.â&#x20AC;? Let the kids help â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have fun, and be more apt to wash their little hands if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made their own soap.

Make your soap:

with less soap!

Foaming hand soap:

The trick is in the dispenser. You have to use one made for foaming hand soap. I get mine from the dollar store, and after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re empty I make my own as follows: Wash dispenser well. Rinse with clear vinegar. Rinse again and let drain. The vinegar helps kill any bacteria that may be in the container.

Ritaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homemade foaming soap

The bonus? More suds

them at least several hours before serving; the second filling is more delicate and more creamy.

11â &#x201E;3 cups good quality water to 6 tablespoons or so of favorite liquid hand soap. Anti-bacterial or not â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you choose. I use a clear liquid soap and let the kids color it slightly with food coloring and add a few drops essential oil (available from health food stores) to it. Both the coloring and oil are optional. Use a whisk to mix gently. Let sit a few minutes to settle, then pour into your container. ViolĂ ! Your own foaming hand soap.

Fluffy cream puff filling:

This is also good in cream horns, Twinkie-like cakes, etc. Beat together: 1

â &#x201E;2 cup solid shortening like Crisco 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 â &#x201E;2 cup confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar Then beat in 1 cup Marshmallow Fluff

Jane and Carolynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cream puff filling:

Foaming dishwashing soap:

Jane Cervantes is known as the cake and truffle lady and Carolyn Grieme is a Northern Kentucky reader, known as the gingerbread house queen, and good friend. They both use this for their cream puffs.

And while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, go ahead and make a batch of foaming dishwashing detergent. Again, use a dispenser specifically made for this. Follow instructions above for cleaning, etc. The proportions are a bit different: 11â &#x201E;3 cups good quality water to 6 to 8 tablespoons dishwashing liquid (start with 6, check to see how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working, and add more if needed), plus 2 tablespoons clear vinegar (optional) to cut the grease.

11â &#x201E;2 cups cold milk 1 (3/4 ounce) package French vanilla pudding mix 1 cup whipped topping Confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar In a mixing bowl, beat milk and pudding mix on low speed for two minutes. Refrigerate for five minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Fill cream puffs just before serving; replace tops. Dust with confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar.

Cream puff fillings

0000358090

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had several requests for cream puffs/fillings for Oktoberfest parties, similar to what Servatiiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serves. Use your favorite cream puff recipe (I have one on the Web version of this column). Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a couple different fillings. The first filling holds up better, meaning you can fill the puffs and refrigerate

Tips from readers

From Mark A. regarding â&#x20AC;&#x153;parveâ&#x20AC;? products. Mark says: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The definition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;parveâ&#x20AC;? (or â&#x20AC;&#x153;pareveâ&#x20AC;?) in your column was only half

right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pareve foods are prepared without meat, milk, or their derivatives and may therefore be eaten with both meat and dairy dishes according to the laws of kashrut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No dairy is correct, but no meat either. Meat can be sneaky; gelatin made from cattle hooves, for instance, is not pareve (probably not kosher either, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beside the point).â&#x20AC;?

Cake tips from Martha

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking a cake decorating class at Grant School in Clermont County. Martha Buckler is my teacher and she shared some valuable tips in last nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class: â&#x20AC;˘ Bake cakes and quickbreads at 325 degrees and not at 350 degrees as most recipes state. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to bake them longer but the lower temperature allows them to bake all the way through to the middle without sinking. Especially true for very large cakes. â&#x20AC;˘ To smooth white or pastel color frosting, dip spatula in warm water and smooth over cake. Smooth top first, then sides. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use on chocolate or deeply colored icing as this will leave streaks and spots.

Woman’s club holds first meeting

A Prayer Power Workshop on the Labyrinth is set for Christ Church Glendale for Sunday, Sept. 27, with Susan MacKellar, facilitator. The event, scheduled in the church’s Olivia House, will include a lunch, served at 1 p.m., followed by the workshop. The workshop will conclude at 4:30 p.m. “Basically, the labyrinth is a meditation tool, a way of getting in touch with God,” MacKellar said. “Labyrinths have been around for thousands of years. They’ve existed in every culture, all over the world. Native Americans called theirs the medicine wheel,” she added. MacKellar says that the use of labyrinths as a meditation tool was rediscovered in this century. “In fact,” she says, “hospitals even use them to lower blood pressure and reduce stress.” Labyrinths come in all sizes. The Christ Church Glendale group hopes to have three available for use Sept. 27, including inside, one on the lawn and one in the parking lot. There is no charge for participating in the exercise, but registration is important, since lunch will be served. Registration information is available at 771-1544 or braunqm1@cinci.rr.com. Christ Church Glendale is an historic building, established in 1868. More information is at 771-1544, christchurch1@fuse.net or w w w. c h r i s t c h u r c h glendale.org.

Bringing plants indoors for winter months If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been growing your tropical plants outdoors all summer, as summer fades and fall arrives, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get them ready to go back inside the house for the winter. Begin this process in mid to late September, so the plants will be ready to go indoors before the weather gets too cold. And always keep an eye open for that early frost! The first thing to do is to move your tropical or nonhardy plants into a shady

sure you spray tops and bottoms of the leaves, stems, trunks and all. Again, trying to get rid of any hitchhiking bugs! (If you do this the same day youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bringing them inside, let the spray dry, then bring the plants indoors.) If possible, lay the plant on its side, slide it out of the pot, and inspect the root ball for any unwanted bugs or anything else that may be hiding in the bottom of the pot. Rodents, even snakes have been found hiding here. One way to make sure nothing is in the soil (ants, etc.) is to fill a large tub with water, and then submerge the plant pot and all in the water for several hours. Anything in the soil will either drown, or will float to the top of the water. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a great way to

soak the soil. Just make sure you allow it plenty of time to drain before bringing it into the house. Move your tropical plant indoors to a well-lit area indoors, and away from heat vents and cold drafts. Place a saucer under the pot. As a general rule, water the plants well, let dry, water again. And never let water sit in the saucer. Use lukewarm water for watering. Expect leaves to drop as the plants make their final acclimation to the indoor lighting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural. And do keep your eyes open for any flare-ups of insects on the plants. Keep insecticidal soaps, systemic insecticides, and whitefly traps on hand just in case. Reduce feeding to nothing or an occasional shot of a water-soluble fertilizer,

location outside, and leave then there for 10 days to two weeks. This helps to acclimate them to the lower light conditions theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be receiving once inside your home. By the way, during this time, do be aware of possible cold temperatures and even frosts, where your plants will need extra protection! Just before bringing them inside, there are three things for you to do. Hose them off with a strong stream of water. You may even want to do this a couple times while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re acclimating in the shade. This helps to blow off any insects that may be hanging out on the plants. Immediately before bringing them inside, give your plants a good spraying of insecticidal soap, making

The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park’s production of “New Kid” by Dennis Foon will perform “Off the Hill” at 13 community centers across the region from Oct. 3 through Nov. 1. “The Playhouse is thrilled to be partnering with community arts centers in order to bring professional live theatre directly into neighborhoods across the region,” education director Mark Lutwak said. “This is a play that will leave families with a lot to talk about.” “New Kid” tells the story of Nick and his parents from the country of Homeland. He has just moved to America — a strange new place where he doesn’t even speak the language. Nick struggles to find his bearings and make friends in his new home. He desperately wants to fit in with his school mates, but this turns out to be harder than he expected. Gradually, he makes friends, even as one student proves to be a mean-spirited bully. As Nick takes on the ignorance he sees around him, he teaches his own mother about perseverance and making a new start. The playwright plunges the audience into Nick’s experience by having him and his mother speak English, even as the others speak a comic, invented language. This humorous play challenges everyone to question bullying and prejudice and to welcome the new perspectives newcomers can bring. Anthony Vaughn Merchant (Nick), Jacqueline Raposo (Mother), Kristen Jackson (Mug) and Lily Blau (Mench) from the Playhouse’s Bruce E. Coyle Intern Company will appear

in “New Kid.” Education Director Mark Lutwak will direct. Other members of the production team include Christopher Boone (set designer), Chad Phillips (costume designer), Anna Goller (props designer), Cedric Collier (sound technician) and Grace Briner (stage manager). “New Kid” will also tour area schools for grades three through seven this fall from Oct. 3 to Nov. 1. For more information about the Playhouse’s education and outreach programs, contact the Education Department at 345-2242 or visit www.cincyplay.com.

Based on current information, a 20 percent service reduction would balance the 2010 budget, but Metro could consider a combination of the following options instead, based on public input and Cincinnati City Council approval of any proposed fare increase. An example of a combination might be a $0.25 fare increase and a smaller service reduction. Metro is seeking comments on the following options: • Metro service: Up to 20 percent of service reduced • Weekend service: Eliminate Saturday and/or Sunday service

Public auction will be held at Star Self Storage, LLC. CASH ONLY.

• Base fare: Up to $0.50 increase (Zone 1, City of Cincinnati) • Zone fare: Up to $0.25 increase in addition to base fare increase (Zone 2, Hamilton County) • Transfer charge: Up to $0.25 increase • Monthly passes: Increase monthly pass and Fare Deal sticker prices to reflect fare increases • Zone 1 pass discount: Eliminate the $5 monthly pass discount For Access paratransit service for people whose disabilities make riding Metro impossible, the following options are being considered: • ADA service only: Provide service only at the level required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (Access currently provides limited service to some “grandfathered” customers that goes beyond what the ADA requires) • ADA maximum fare: Up to the ADA-allowable fare (twice Metro’s fare for a comparable trip). Budget background: About half of Metro’s budget comes from the City of Cincinnati’s earnings tax. The city has been downgrading its 2010 projections all summer, and currently projects a $6.6 million

reduction in Metro’s 2010 revenue. Ridership and fare revenue are down significantly due to the recession. Funding from the State of Ohio is also down. Metro has cut overhead expenses significantly for 2010, and layoffs of both union and non-union employees are expected. The extent of the layoffs won’t be known until midOctober, when the final decision is made on the level of service reductions. “Metro can’t continue to operate the same level of service with a $16 million gap in our budget,” Metro’s CEO Marilyn Shazorsaid. “We’re reducing our 2010 overhead costs, but most of our expenses are related to service on the street. “We don’t want to reduce service or raise fares, but the impact of the economic downturn is unprecedented. We know this will be painful for the community and those dependent on our service, but by state law, we must balance the budget and our options are limited.” Public meeting and other ways to comment: Metro will hold a public meeting/ comment day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, at

the Duke Energy Convention Center, 525 W. Fifth St., Rooms 237-238, to receive public comments about the Metro and Access fare and service change options. A brief presentation will be made every hour on the hour. The public may stop by anytime during the day to electronically record their comments for the public record. Sign language and Spanish interpreters will be available at the meeting if requested at least one week prior to the meeting. Accessible format materials will be available if the request is received one week prior to the meeting. All comments received by Oct. 2 will become part of the official public meeting record and will be considered by SORTA. Comments may be submitted in the following ways: • On-line comment form at www.go-metro.com • E-mail to farecomments@go-metro.com • Fax to 632-9202 • Comment forms on buses, at the Government Square information booth, and at the sales office in the Mercantile Building arcade • Mail to SORTA, 602 Main Street, Suite 1100, Cincinnati, OH 45202.
