Peggy Sullivan said she’s going to miss being involved in the Cheviot community and greeting her customers by their first names. She and her husband, Gary, who own the Cheviot IGA, have decided to close the neighborhood grocery store. “It’s sad,” said Mrs. Sullivan, who is also president of the Cheviot-Westwood Community Association. “It’s sad for Cheviot, and I feel really sad for all of our longtime customers.” She said she and her husband took over the remaining years of a 20-year lease on the grocery store nine years ago, but have decided not to renew the lease when it expires in October. She said competition from other grocery stores in the area led to Cheviot IGA’s closing. There are five Kroger stores within five miles of the IGA, not to mention the Meijer store in Green Township and the new Target store selling groceries in Westwood, she said. “This store has not been profitable for at least three years,” she said. “With the way the economy is going, we don’t see it turning around.” Gary Sullivan said small, fullservice grocery stores simply can’t compete with the large supermarkets of today. “It’s just a sign of the times,” he said. He said the decision to close has been especially tough on Peggy’s father, who was the manager of the store when it was a Kroger years ago. “He’s bumming,” Mr. Sullivan said. Cheviot IGA will stop selling lottery tickets and processing utility bills, money orders and Western Union transactions on Friday, July 31. All the store’s merchan-

Peggy, left, and Gary Sullivan, owners of the Cheviot IGA, have made the difficult decision to close the grocery store. The couple said the small grocery store simply can no longer compete with the large supermarkets in the area.
“We have the same bills as the large, full-service grocery stores, but the trend has been for people to use our store as a convenience store to pick up a few items here and there. It’s just too hard to compete.”

dise will be sold at discount prices starting Saturday, Aug. 1. Peggy Sullivan said they expect to close the store by the end of August, auction off surplus equipment in September and turn the empty building over to the landlord in October.
She said the landlord is looking for a new tenant, but she said it’s unlikely it will be another grocery store. “We have the same bills as the large, full-service grocery stores, but the trend has been for people to use our store as a convenience
store to pick up a few items here and there,” she said. “It’s just too hard to compete.” Mrs. Sullivan, who lives in Bridgetown, said since she’ll no longer be working in Cheviot every day she also is stepping down as president of the community association. Ray Kroner, who owns Kroner Dry Cleaner on North Bend Road, will take over as president. She said her priority now is finding a job. “We got to live the American dream and work for ourselves,” she said. “We have no regrets.”
Cheviot voting at ‘watershed moment’ By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
After five public hearings and a door-to-door campaign conducted by city council, Cheviot residents should have enough information to decide whether they want an increase in taxes. Cheviot voters are facing a new 5.61-mill levy on the special election ballot Tuesday, Aug. 4. City officials placed the fiveyear operating levy on the ballot to make up for a projected budget deficit in the general fund for city services. Ward 4 Councilman Gregory Stautberg, chairman of council’s
finance committee, said the levy is estimated to bring in about $730,000 annually for the city. If approved, it would cost the owner of a home Stautberg with a market value of $100,000 roughly $160 more per year in taxes. “It’s a big levy, but I think people recognize the tough times the city is facing,” Stautberg said. Last year, council instituted a trash collection fee for 2009 to bridge a $400,000 budget deficit the city faced this year. The trash

He said the city faces an estimated $500,000 to $600,000 budget deficit next year, but if approved the levy would solve the problem and carry Cheviot through the next five years. If voters reject the levy on Aug. 4, Cheviot officials will have to make tough decisions. “It could be a watershed type moment for the city,” Stautberg said. “We would probably have to start looking into cutting services. It would definitely be a struggle for this city to carry on with current operations.” He said council may place the issue on the November ballot if the levy fails this summer.

Ceremonies honor fallen Delhi Marine By Heidi Fallon hfallon@communitypress.com
Tim Roos’ blue eyes and beaming smile radiate from the portrait. It’s just perfect and it’s going in a special spot in their home, said Rick and
Jan Roos, parents of the fallen Marine corporal killed in action in 2006. It was an emotional moment for the family as well as artist Phil Taylor. The Texan stopped several times fighting back tears as he presented the
family of Marine Cpl. Tim Roos with the oil portrait. Tim’s parents, his widow and daughter, Sara and Annaliese; his sisterin-law and niece, Michelle and Ava Roos, along with a parking lot full of family and friends gathered to see Taylor unveil the portrait. Taylor said Tim’s is the 53rd portrait he’s completed for the American Fallen Soldiers Project. Taylor said a Cincinnati-
based company, Loew Cornell, provides him art supplies, which prompted him to look in this area for his next portrait. “I read Tim’s story and his family’s story and I knew,” Taylor said. Members of the Delhi Township Veterans Association helped to arrange the military ceremony at the township’s Veterans Memorial Plaza. “We need these sym-

A $6 billion deficit is expected to force the closing of the Sayler Park Post Office. Debbie Cox, manager of the branch on Gracely Avenue since February, said no one had yet delivered her the official word. “I haven’t heard anything,” she said, “but they did take our stamp machine out and we’ve been closed on Saturday since July 4.” Cox has 33 years with the postal service and was planning on working another three to five before retiring. Charlotte Morrow, customer relations for the postal service, said the
Sayler Park location, like eight others on the shutdown list, serves 225 or fewer customers. Cox said a lot of her business is money orders, stamp buys and shipping boxes to E-bay. “I have several people who seem to make their living selling online,” she said. Cox said she doubts she’d have to resort to that since she expects to be assigned another post office job if the Sayler Park site closes. Edward Fischesser, a former Delhi Township resident now living in Arkansas, stopped by the post office to mail a package for his brother. “He lives in Addyston and I know he will miss the

These post offices are on a list of possible closures: • Blue Ash, 10945 Reed Hartman Highway. • Sayler Park, 6604 Gracely Drive. • Camp Washington, 2951 Colerain Ave. • East End, 3923 Eastern Ave. • Hamilton, 640 Hooven Ave. • Madisonville, 5912 Madison Road. • Newtown, 7040 Main St. • Northside (two), 3408 Ormond St., and 4122 Hamilton Ave.
post office if it closes,” Fischesser said. “It would be a real shame for this small community.” Postal customers will receive surveys in their post office boxes, Morrow said. In all, more than 1,000 customers use the nine offices, Morrow said. A decision is expected soon on which post offices will close this fall.

Bridgetown man continues dad’s legacy By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Leonard Winiarski Jr. fondly recalls the days he spent working alongside his late father selling fresh fruits and vegetables to the folks on the west side of town. “We used to sell produce out of the back of an old beat up Ford truck,” said the junior Winiarski, a Bridgetown resident. He said several years ago when his father retired from his vice president position at Western-Southern Life Insurance Co., he decided he wanted others to share his enthusiasm for locally grown fruits and vegetables and opened a produce stand at the corner of Muddy Creek Road and Sylved

The 32nd annual Delhi Skirt Game will be 5-11 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, at Delhi Township Park, 5125 Foley Road. The evening includes: • members of the Delhi Athletic Association, police and fire departments and local celebrities taking the field dressed as Women of TV Past and Present; • Bob Herzog, WKRC-TV, will be at the microphone, along with radio personality and Delhi Township resident Amanda Orlando and Hamilton County
skirts, wigs and fishnet hose at area thrift stores. No matter where they get their outfits, the players are only part of the organizational logistics. Marty Smith, Delhi Skirt Game Committee president, and Clyde Kober, committee vice president, said it takes a year of planning and 250 volunteers to make the Skirt Game happen.
Judge Pat Dinkelacker; • off-field entertainment includes Chuck Brisbin and the Tuna Project, games and raffles; and • a fireworks display concludes the evening. Parking and admission is free and all proceeds, minus expenses, go to the recipients. Volunteers, especially for the Saturday morning clean up, are welcome. For a look at past games or information on the Aug. 7 event, go to delhiskirtgame.org.
“We’ve been involved for years and had no idea how much was involved until we took over for Satch and Joe,” Smith said, referring long-time committee organizers John “Satch” Coletta and Joe Ruhe. “We’re still learning,” said Kober, Smith’s cochairman for the event. The event has been raising money to help resi-
dents in need of financial assistance. “Most of the recipients have medical needs,” Kober said. The first Skirt Game was a hastily organized game between police and fire departments to help a young Delhi Township boy injured in a bike accident. Since then, Smith and Kober said more than $630,000 has been raised to help more than 160 people. The committee expects to have four people on their list this year. They or their families will be represented at the Aug. 7 game along with past recipients. Folks can get a preview of the fun to come the Thursday night before the game. Kober and Smith said several of the DAA divas will again be strutting their stuff from 6-8 p.m. on Delhi Road by Hot Wings taking donations and promoting the game.

Many of the farmers he buys from are the same ones his father worked with. “When I can get fresh produce, I’ll make the trip,” he said. Winiarski’s sister, Stephanie Tuerck, said her brother has the same salesmanship skills as her dad. He even uses the same produce scale his dad used. “You go in thinking you only need a couple ears of corn, and you end up leaving with four ears of corn and a couple of tomatoes,” she said.

Tommy Boeing in the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre production of “Godspell.�
Teen theater group presents ‘Godspell’ Greg Moore said he’s going to miss spending his summers on the stage at the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts. This summer is the last time the Delhi Township teen, who is entering his sophomore year at Northern Kentucky University, can perform with the Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre. “It’s going to be hard to leave,� said Moore, an Oak Hills High School graduate. “We really are a family here.� Moore’s final performance with the teen theater group will be in “Godspell,� a rock musical based on the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The show originally opened in 1971 at an off-Broadway theater, and several songs from the musical, including “Day by Day,� became chart hits. The musical presents a creative and inspiring view of Jesus, as his disciples reenact the parables and scenes from Jesus’ life with joy, wit and energy. Entering its 28th year, the teen theater group’s production this summer brings together 95 cast and crew members from the Tristate between age 13 and 19. “The Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre has quite a legacy,� said Price Hill resident Tommy Boeing, a St. Xavier High School senior who stars in the show. “Alumni still come back to see the performances. They enjoy being a part of an organization that is still going on to this day.� Western Hills resident Hillary Hudepohl, a senior at the School for Creative and Performing Arts, said being a part of the theater group is a lifestyle, spending summers in the Covedale perfecting lines and dance steps. “Everyone in the cast wants to share their passion for musical theater,� she said. “People have said our productions are like professional shows.� Mercy High School junior Elizabeth Ruwe, also of Western Hills, said the
Get your tickets Performances of the musical “Godspell� run Friday through Sunday, July 31 through Aug. 2.

friendships she makes each summer only add to the experiences she gains on the stage. “It’s nothing like regular high school theater,� she said. “The way they work with us is professional.� Boeing said he really enjoys the bonding that takes place each year. “We all enjoy the show we’re doing so much,� he said. “It’s great how a group of teens from 13 to 19 can all come together to put on an awesome show and still have a fun time.� Moore, who is studying theater in college, said he appreciates being able to express himself through the theater group for the past five summers. “I can’t believe it’s almost over,� he said.
work and share their talent for other people to enjoy, said Christopherson. “We usually have around 90 to 95 entries each year,� said Williams. She is hoping to get even more people to exhibit their work this year. “We’d love to see more entries from every age, including some of the younger artists,� she said. Each applicant must be 17 years or older and may enter up to two paintings or drawings, at $8 each, created from oil, acrylic, watercolor or other media, said Williams. “It’s very exciting to walk through the exhibit and see all of the local artwork and talent that’s
there,� said Christopherson. There will be three cash awards for first, second, and third places in each of the categories – oil/acrylic, watercolor and other media. Entries will be judged by well known artist Mary Jane Browne from Western Hills. “She is a very talented gal,� said Williams. Artwork will be judged Friday, Sept. 11, and must be delivered to Harvest Home Park Wednesday, Sept. 9, from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. or Thursday, Sept. 10, from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. “We’d like to encourage people to come and take part in the art show by viewing it and enjoying it,� said Christopherson.
Kiwanis Club lends hand to food pantry By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Earl Oakes said he’s proud of the way his fellow Kiwanis members have responded to the Holy Family Food Pantry’s request for help. “We have a great group of people here,� said Oakes, a Covedale resident and
board member of the Price Hill-Western Hills Kiwanis Club. He said Diana Penick, the coordinator of the Holy Family Food Pantry, came to a Kiwanis meeting earlier this year to talk to the club members about the pantry’s needs, and she mentioned how the pantry really needed toilet paper.
Oakes said the pantry was running so low they were splitting rolls in half and passing them out to clients. To help the pantry out, Oakes organized a toilet paper drive within the Kiwanis Club. Once a month members bring in packs of toilet tissue, and Oakes
loads it all into his minivan and delivers a supply to the pantry. Oakes said in addition to toilet paper, the club also collects and delivers shampoo, conditioner, soap and other toiletries to the pantry. He said the club donates $1,000 to the pantry each year as well.

New one-day miracle for denture sufferers
Are you not eating what you want to because of difficulties with your dentures? Do they wander, shift or tilt? Are you replacing them all the time? Have you been told you don’t have enough bone for traditional dental implants?
If you said yes to any of these questions, don’t hesitate to call the dental office of Dr. Christopher Omeltschenko to discuss the Mini Dental Implant System, or MDI, which can stabilize your own denture in less than two hours. MDIs, which measure 1.8 millimeters in diameter, are basically smaller versions of traditional implants that can be placed without the surgical opening of the gums. “If you can handle visiting your dentist in the morning, having the MDI system placed in less that two hours and then going out and enjoying lunch at your favorite restaurant while you eat comfortably, talk and smile with confidence, then you’re ready for this process,� says Dr. Omeltschenko. “It’s that easy. With MDIs your denture feels secure and is held firmly in place. At about a third of the price of traditional implants, they’re extremely affordable, too,� he adds. If your dentures are not firmly placed and you would like to experience the convenience that this technology can offer, call the office of Dr. Christopher Omeltschenko today at (513) 245-2200 for a free, no-obligation consultation (a $150 value).

The 150th Annual Green Township Harvest Home Fair, scheduled for Sept. 1013 at Harvest Home Park, would not be the same without its annual art show. The 42nd annual art show is a creative part of the fair that gives people a chance to see the talent and artistic ability of local residents. “I find that the art show is one of the elements that makes the Harvest Home Fair more like a fair than just a festival,� said Sharon Christopherson, co-chairwoman of the art show. Christopherson, who lives in Clifton, and John
Williams, of Green Township, have been cochairs of the art show for about four years. Christopherson “(The art show) is something quite different than the rest of the fair,� said Williams, who first got involved with the show four years ago when he won an award for his own watercolor painting. “This is probably the most creative thing we have,� he said. “I think the people who come to see it each year are quite impressed.� The art show is a place for artists to display their

Bob Klotz, a teacher and head of the social studies department at Oak Hills High School, and Erin Metz, a French teacher at Taylor High School, were honored by the Hamilton County Educational Ser-
vice Center. The Hamilton County Education Foundation was established in 2006 by the Hamilton County Educational Service Center to provide scholarships to students majoring in a special educationrelated field and recognize the work of local public education professionals at the annual Celebrate
Excellence event. As the non-profit fundraising arm of the HCESC, the foundation is providing scholarships to teachers who are returning to school for their masters in special education. The first scholarship, established with the University of Cincinnati, was presented last year to a music teacher at Roger Bacon High
School who plans to work with students as a music therapist. This year, the first scholarship to Xavier University will be awarded in addition to a second scholarship to UC. “The establishment of the Hamilton County Education Foundation allows HCESC to add a new sustainable dimension to its serv-
ices,” said Karen Muse, foundation president. “By annually celebrating the accomplishments of local educators and providing more scholarships for others in the field to further their education, we hope we’re creating incentives for teachers and administrators to stay here and serve the children of Hamilton County.”

Community helpers
When kindergarten students at St. Aloysius Gonzaga School in Bridgetown learned about communities and community helpers this spring, they had several class visitors who brought the lessons to life. Several parents visited the class during Community Helpers Week to teach the students about their jobs and explain how they help the community. Many brought the tools of their trades with them to share with the students. Madison Schultz is pictured trying on a firefighter’s hat.

The 18th annual Mother of Mercy High School Golf Outing will take place at Grand Oak Golf Club Friday, Aug. 21. “It’s not an alumni event, it’s open to everybody,” said Melissa “Mertz” Wegman, who is chairman of the event. “Most of the people who play don’t even have kids who (attend Mercy).” The outing originated as a memorial for former Cheviot Police Chief Don Mackie, who was an assistant soccer coach at Mercy for two years. Mackie died of cancer in 1992. “He was big in the community,” Wegman said. Proceeds from the outing were initially used as educational grants for Mercy soccer players in need, but the event’s mission eventually expanded to include all Bobcat student-athletes requiring financial assistance. The funds are typically awarded as $1,000 scholarships, and recipients must be in good academic and athletic standing. The outing is particularly

An All-American soccer player for the Bobcats, she received a full scholarship from
Lynn University (formerly the College of Boca Raton) and spent some time playing in Europe. She then returned to Cincinnati and served as Mercy’s varsity soccer coach from 1991 to 1999.

Her sisters, Jen and Krissy, graduated from Mercy in 1987 and 1990, respectively, and both were three-sport athletes for the Bobcats. They help out with the outing in any way they can.

“We continue to do it because we had a great experience at Mercy,” she said. “This is an opportunity for another Mercy student-athlete to have some of the experiences that we had who might not have them otherwise.” With golf, raffles, silent auctions and great food, the outing has a sizable following. Nearly 180 golfers participated in the event last year, as the entry fee for each four-person team is $400. Teams compete for prizes, which are awarded to the top three finishers in the men’s, women’s and mixed divisions. Prizes include gift cards to local businesses, such as Kroger. Proceeds from the event typically total $20,000. “That’s our goal, but we try to exceed that each year,” Wegman said. For those who aren’t avid golfers, the event features food courtesy of the Wegman family, particularly her father, Joe, who specializes in jumbalaya, steak and seafood. “This is a great event for an even greater cause,” Mertz said. “That’s why we do it.”
WFC set for second annual kickoff By Tony Meale tmeale@communitypress.com
For the second straight year, the Western Football Conference is hosting a preview featuring players from more than a dozen local grade schools. The event – the WFC Kickoff – will be at Oskamp Field on Glenway Avenue on Aug. 15; 1,400 kids are expected to play. “We needed (an event like this) in the heart of the west side,” said Bob Lyons, who is coordinating the kickoff. “We play in a special conference, and we decided we needed everyone to be together for one day on one field.” Finding a location to hold several thousand people proved an arduous task, but Lyons found his field. “This is a monumental event that we’ve been planning for five months,” he said. “Oskamp is a perfect venue. It’s right in the middle of the west side of town.” The kids participating in the kickoff range in age level from third grade to eighth grade and attend a variety of schools, including St. Dominic, St. Teresa, St. Antoninus, St. Catherine, Our
Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Victory and Our Lady of Visitation. The players will be divided into three groups: pony (third and fourth grades), pee wee (fifth and sixth grades) and varsity (seventh and eighth grades). For pony and reserve games, there will be 25 minutes of running clock featuring 10 minutes of offense, 10 minutes of defense and a five-minute window to change possession and personnel; varsity games will have 40 minutes of running clock, and coaches will have more leeway regarding the playing format. The kickoff figures to be a staple of west-side football for years to come. Last year, 800 kids played a total of 50 games; this year, participation is expected to increase 75 percent, and 70 games will be played. “I think word got out about how cool of an event this is,” Lyons said. “Last year we started on time, and we ended on time. It was very efficient.” Participating schools also stand to benefit from the kickoff. “Every school that participated last year got donations and goods,” Lyons said. “We also gave proceeds to three schools in the league that

Pony games begin at 9 a.m., with the reserve and varsity games scheduled to follow at 11
a.m. and 1 p.m., respectively. Parking is available at several sites nearby, including Dicks Sporting Goods and Mercy Hospital. People assisting in the kickoff planning stages include WFC President Ric Jones, Vice President Ron Klosterman, Treasurer Ozzie Bowns and Secretary David James.
Tiger reminds us it’s a brutal game The world’s best golfer missing the cut at the British Open reminded amateurs around the world how difficult this game is. And it’s brutal. Golf is tough and the course is capable of defeating anyone, even Tiger Woods. But of course that’s not a good reason to stop trying. So for Lesson No. 3 golf pro Gene Samborsky and I met at the covered range at Robin’s Nest Golf Course to avoid inclement weather Wednesday, July 22. To start the lesson, I step up to the ball and hit a straight shot I would have been quite proud of in June. But after several lessons, I scoff at the results and complain about the ball landing 15 yards left of my intended target.
My slice is all but cured and now I’m getting greedy. “We have to remember where we came from. How soon we can forget how lousy Anthony we were,” SamAmorini borsky jokes. “The ball went Reporters’ straight and it Notebook didn’t have any curve. Your body alignment made the ball go left,” Samborsky adds. He dropped a club down on the mat and align it with my stance. Sure enough, I’m pointing 15 yards left of my mark. But Samborsky makes it clear that taking care of alignment
issues needs to happen well before I’m sizing up the ball for a swing. “Did you graduate magna cum laude?” Samborsky asks. Close, but we know that’s for bunker shots and hand grenades. “If you had then it would be OK to think of two things while you swing. But let’s just stick to one,” Samborsky jokes. We’re focusing on the downswing, making sure to take a divot while striking the ball before the ground. I’ve made drastic improvements shifting my weight so I turn my attention to solid contact. Lesson No. 2 was somewhat similar, but still more geared toward lower body motion than the arms. So I take a few swings. “When you hit a good shot you
should replay the experience in your head immediately to see what felt right,” Samborsky said. “Then try to duplicate that feel.” Samborsky explains PGA Tour golfers hit the range trying to find the right feel and “replay the experience” on a weekly basis. And he was quick to point out only watching weekend golf can make the PGA guys look infallible. “We are watching all of the guys who are having great weeks when we turn on the TV for the weekends,” Samborsky said. “You miss out on all the guys who are struggling Thursday and Friday because they miss the cut.” Unless it’s Tiger Woods and the meltdown is broadcast over and over. “Hopefully you’ll become a student of your own swing. Just

Lyons, who is also the football coordinator and pee wee coach for Visitation, is impressed with the how well the event has been received. “It’s all about the community,” he said. “It’s amazing what can happen when you ask for help. I’ve met so many people who were ready and willing to help out. It’s worked out well.”

With one lesson to go I still have a tendency to swing too hard, or redline if you will. But if such downfalls can catch a Tiger by the tail, why not me?

Supporting Mercy Hospital
I am in support of plans by Mercy Health Partners to develop a new hospital in Green Township. As a long-time resident of the township, I take offense to comments in last week’s article (Trustees to Review Mercy Zoning Request) suggesting there is widespread opposition to the Mercy project based on signatures from a very small percentage of residents. Everyone I know supports the project. A new hospital provides expert care in the event of an emergency, provides jobs, adds to our tax base, and helps attract new businesses and residents. These are improvements that can benefit all 60,000 Green Township residents. Mike Herrle Blue Pine Drive Green Township

Take me out to the Metro
For several decades, the Cincinnati community has rallied around a great hometown tradition – the Metro Softball City Championships. On behalf of the Amateur Softball Association and Rumpke Park, I invite you and your family to join us during our two week celebration of the city’s best softball action from July 30 to Aug. 12. The Metro is not your average beer-league tournament. The players and coaches prepare all year for the opportunity to be crowned city champs. The competitive passion on the playing field provides an exciting experience for the fans and helps make the Metro one of the largest amateur softball tournaments in the nation. The Metro offers something for the entire family at an affordable rate. It’s easy to make an evening of it. Gather with friends on the sun deck, cool off with an ice cold beverage, let the kids enjoy the playground area and take in a couple of games. Nestled among the farm fields of Crosby Township, Rumpke Park is minutes from I-74 on OH-128. Come join us as we celebrate the Metro. You won’t be disappointed.

New hospital will be jewel for township I am a lifelong resident of western Cincinnati and an active member of the medical staffs for Mercy Hospital Western Hills and Mercy Hospital Mount Airy. As such, I would like to offer my support for the proposed new hospital at I-74 and North Bend Road. After my medical training in Rochester, N.Y., I returned “home” because of two treasured values that have become synonymous with the west side: family and culture. One cultural element that is perplexing is the perception that quality care and exceptional service cannot be experienced at a Mercy facility. I treat patients at Mercy hospitals Western Hills and Mount Airy, as well as Good Samaritan and the Christ hospitals. This provides me with a reference of comparison regarding the delivery of health care for the residents of our communities. I honestly feel that the care provided by the doctors, nurses and staff at Mercy Hospital Western Hills, where I spend much of my time, compares favorably with the other hospitals. The proposed new Mercy hospital will offer the opportunity to expand the health care services that are needed for the community and it will provide cutting-edge
technology and experienced personnel to deliver those services. Maybe then, we can change this unsubstantiated perception and help everyone Richard realize that Roedersheimer Mercy provides care Community exceptional and compasPress guest sionate service. columnist As you consider the idea of a new, state-of-the-art Mercy hospital, please note the following: • Mercy is an organization grounded in fiscal responsibility with patient safety and satisfaction as its primary focus. In fact, Mercy Hospital Western Hills was listed as one of the 100 Best Kept Secrets and 100 Best Value Hospitals in the country by the Data Advantage Hospital Value Index, a national program that offers the first comprehensive scorecard that measures the relative value of care provided by hospitals. • Bringing the two medical staffs, nurses, and health care professionals to one new hospital allows for the sharing of best practices and collaborative thinking that
often leads to a higher level of care. • The proximity of a new hospital to I-74 opens the door to a much wider range of physicians who want to practice at Mercy but do not have easy access. • Combining the two west-side hospitals allows for a more extensive approach to the development of new health care programs and services for all residents of western Hamilton County, as opposed to individual neighborhoods. • A modern hospital with private patient rooms on a well-manicured site, that has ease of access and ease of parking, can only be an asset to attract new residents and businesses. With my 29 years of health care experience, a review of the comprehensive market analysis, and a genuine sense of pride for western Hamilton County, I can only believe that a new Mercy hospital will be a huge success and a definite jewel for Green Township. Richard Roedersheimer, MD, is a general vascular surgeon with Cranley Surgical Associates Inc. and serves on the medical staffs at Mercy Hospital Western Hills, Mercy Hospital Mount Airy, Good Samaritan Hospital, and Christ Hospital. He has more than 30 years of experience as a physician.
Setting up house in new Green Twp. This is the third part of a series on the history of Green Township. On his farm Isaac Jackson found the woods full of game, and many pioneers survived on game between harvests. He had no guns. In a letter to his son, Isaac asked Thomas to buy a fowling piece and a rifle. He also needed bullets to put in the guns. He wanted 200 or 300 flints suitable for hunting and 25 large flints for his musket. He talked of people shooting deer and catching quail with nets. There were many rabbits running around and he wanted a house dog. He specifically asked for a female terrier, because he felt that would be the best kind of rabbit hunting dog. He was amazed at all the wildlife he saw flying about. One day he saw a whole flock of parrots, and was amazed to see them flying this far west. The other thing that amazed him was fishing. He went fishing in the Ohio River one day with a group of local men. They caught perch, pike and catfish. The perch were 10 pounds and as hard as bricks. The pike were smaller and pretty
good. The catfish were another problem. The 40 or 50 pound ones were too big, only the 12 pounds ones were any good. He said you can Betty Kamuf catch smaller Community fish in the Press guest creeks, with nets wanted his columnist and son to make one. He wanted four or five dozed fish hooks to catch more fish. There were stores in Cincinnati, but he could not find decent shoes that fit right and wanted Thomas to order him three pairs of strong shoes and one pair of boots. If he was going to live in the woods he needed tools to work with trees. For building the house and cutting trees, Isaac wanted three good hatchets, six small gimlets (a tool for boring holes in wood), a wood ax, wood saws and files. In a letter to his wife, dated August of 1813, he talked about
his property and crops. He had been there since the middle of July and had planted corn, but it was suffering from the lack of rain. He felt that it was better than most corn in the area but wished it would rain. The river was low, but he hoped it would not be so low that her trip would be delayed. He told her the day before he had an all-day party of 50 men that raised his new house. It was 36feet by 18-feet and two stories high. He hoped to get it shingled in time to put the goods she was bringing under cover, but there were no boards to be had at any price in town, and he had no hopes of getting into the house this season. This was probably because of the turmoil in Cincinnati. The financial stain of the War of 1812 caused the three banks in Cincinnati to suspend specie (coin) payments. During the war the Courthouse at Fifth and Main was used as a barracks by soldiers and was burned to the ground. Isaac Jackson again found himself caught up in the war.

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

Monfort Heights mom is a good cook By Jennie Key

Eckert Woods, by Schneller Homes, is at Race and West Fork roads in Monfort Heights.
Schneller Homes opens newest subdivision By Katie Hull khull@communitypress.com
Schneller Homes has recently opened a new 40lot subdivision called Eckert Woods at Race and West Fork roads in Green Township. Since Schneller Homes started in 1985 they have built many homes in developments in the White Oak and Monfort Heights area including Lakeshore Landing, Jamestowne Bay, Rosewood and Ashbrook Estates. Each home in the new subdivision is built on a half-acre or more lot and there are 17 lots still remaining, said Lee Schneller, president of Schneller Homes. It is an upscale community with street lighting, sidewalks and all of the utilities, said Schneller. The houses include a variety of building styles like ranches, two stories, and one-and-a-half stories and range from $300,000
to $750,000, depending on the view, said David Dwyer of Hoeting Realtors, who recently began working with Schneller Homes. “It’s a great place to live and there’s so many common areas,” said Dwyer. “It’s just an all around great place to raise a family.” He said the variety of homes makes the subdivision appealing to families and empty nesters as well. The tranquil atmosphere makes Eckert Woods a good place for second-time home buyers and third time home buyers as well, said Dwyer. “It’s an upscale neighborhood, and you pretty much have your own piece of White Oak history.” Schneller Homes prides themselves on being sure to complete their job in a professional way at all times, said Schneller. “We always like to have the job correct the first time around without having to go back and do it again,” he said.

If the proof is in the pudding, Monfort Heights mom Sara Campbell can show she’s a great cook. Her banana pudding recipe was selected for the summer edition of the MomsLikeMe cookbook, 27 Tasty & Simple Summertime Recipes now available at area Bigg’s stores. She says she loves to take an old standby recipe and give it an unexpected twist that puts her unique stamp on it. Campbell says her mom, the late Mary Ann Holliday, was a “Sunday dinner” planner/cook, while her dad Arnie Holliday handled the everyday cooking. But don’t mistake everyday for ordinary. “He liked to put his own twist on things, too,” Campbell said. The mother of three boys with hearty appetites, she says she has developed a recipe box of dishes her family loves to eat, and when she’s stuck for what to make for dinner, she goes there for inspiration. Her specialties include a chicken chili that’s similar to a chicken tortilla

soup and a Dorito chicken recipe. Her family says she makes a mean carrot cake, too. Sara submitted a recipe for banana pudding that was selected for the She says she never even ate banana pudding before she married husband Josh 12 years ago. But her in-laws like it, and when she learned to make it, she added her own twist: fresh berries on top and banana pudding substituted for the traditional vanilla. “I think it gives it a richer flavor,” she said. “And my husband loves it.” She loves the camaraderie she has found on the MomsLikeMe.com Web site, and said she was pleased to have her submission selected for the cookbook. Her advice to beginning cooks: “Get a good cookbook – I started with the red and white checked Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook – and find basic recipes you like, then tweak them for your family’s tastes.”
Sara Campbell’s Banana Pudding Ingredients: 3 boxes instant banana pudding 1 1 ⁄2 boxes Nilla Wafers 4 ripe bananas, sliced 1 ⁄2 cup fresh berries Directions: Prepare pudding according to directions on box. In large bowl, place a layer of Nilla Wafers. Top the wafers with pudding. Place banana slices on top of the pudding. Continue to layer as follows: wafers, pudding and bananas. For the top layer, omit bananas. Top with fresh berries, if desired. Sara’s tip: Sara says while vanilla pudding is traditionally used, she thinks the banana pudding makes for a richer flavor. She says Some moms think it’s easier to make the pudding one box at a time to ensure even layering. The number of layers will vary depending upon the size and style of the dish used.

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. But 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 flower, where others may need
removal of the spent flower as well as the stalk on which it’s growing. T h i s process is Ron Wilson used on In the garden b o t h 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. You can reach him at columns@communitypress.co m

Summertime and the living is … ? to ourselves, “There is a pervasive form of contemporary violence … and that is activism and overwork. The rush and pressure of modern life are a form, perhaps the most common form, of its innate violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to violence. It destroys our own inner capacity for peace.” Summertime is freneticisms antidote. It’s the time for which hammocks and lawn chairs were made, bicycles, tree-lined walking paths, picnic baskets and the song lyrics “slow down, you move too fast, you gotta make the morning last.” Notice: St. Benedict, the monk who founded the Benedictine Order, had a novel approach to
help his novices live in the present moment – which is the only place we really live. During their novitiate he asked them to temporarily take a special vow – Fidelity To The Present Moment. It meant a deliberate, concentrated giving of attention to what is immediately before you. “Age quod agis,” in Latin, “Do what you are doing.” He wanted them to notice and feel even the mundane. If washing dishes, notice the look and feel of the swirling soapy water, the sound, the smoothness, the comforting circular motion of their hand. This vow of attention required them to let go of the tendency of trying to do multiple things at once (no praise for multitaskers), of acting thoughtlessly, or to live in the past and worry over the
future. The present moment has a fullness all its own. Take off your shoes: Literally and figuratively summer says “Take off your shoes and walk in the grass, feel the earth on which you live, take a deep breath. Life’s too short for tight shoes. Loosen up and stop frowning. Touch the earth, the trees and flowers. At least for awhile resign as General Manager of The Universe.” Many burdens we carry are not even ours to carry. Summertime says “Take that load off your shoulders and let me refresh you.” Enjoy: That’s what the table server says as he or she places our food before us, “Enjoy!” We like the invitation. God says the same thing as he spreads before us the smorgasbord of life that Genesis says he found so good. One of my favorite prayers in a
Make sure debt is yours before you pay it During these tough economic times many people are faced with unpaid debts. In addition to bills you truly owe, you may also be hit with collection letters from companies who just hope you’ll pay. Some of these are socalled Zombie debts, those more than seven years old that have been sold to debt collection companies. Such bills often don’t belong to you, but are sent anyway because so many years have gone by and people have moved. Nancy Beasley of Sharonville got such a bill for a debt dating back to 1994. “I went to the Web site of the bill collection company and there’s no Web site listed. All I found were links to complaints,” she said. This bill collector wanted Beasley to pay more than $2,000, for a bill belonging to a company of which she never heard. “So I called the company and told them and they said they would erase the debt. I just want other people to be aware of these letters coming out,” Beasley said. Clara E. Martin of Anderson Township also got a collection letter for a debt that’s four years old. It was for an unpaid parking lot fee. But, upon close examination she found the license number for the car listed never belonged to her. “If they had the correct license number then I would say, ‘Well, this could possibly be something legitimate.’ But it’s not,” she said. Although she wrote the
bill collector and disputed the bill, it d i d n ’ t seem to make any difference. “Just Howard Ain recently I Hey Howard! r e c e i v e d another letter from them. This letter is not different than the first one, so this is not in response to
what I wrote,” Martin said. So I told Martin to send another letter to the bill collector saying she doesn’t owe the debt – and send the letter by registered mail so they have to sign for it. That way you have proof they received it. She did that and has not heard from them again. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act you need to send such a letter to protect your rights. If you feel the debt is not

yours, tell the bill collector in writing to provide proof it belongs to you. Do not admit the debt is yours unless you are sure.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Psalm 23 was written in summertime. You know how it goes, “He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he refreshes my soul.” Summer invites tranquility, feeling at one with nature, choosing some positive and relaxing times in our lives. Here are some of the lessons of summer. Slow down: “There is more to life than increasing its speed,” said Gandhi. Most of us moderns feel obsessively driven. We stay on the treadmill all year long. We fear the silence of solitude or experience a certain personal guilt if our list of expectations isn’t accomplished immediately. Contemplative monk Thomas Merton considered excessive busyness a way of doing violence

I ’ v e been picking my Italian round zucchini, my Lebanese zucchini and my Rita regular Heikenfeld zucchini every day. Rita’s kitchen I ’ l l make stuffed zucchini for supper tonight and if I have

Mary Simon’s Catalina dip
From Rose Kutschbach – her mom’s recipe, an alltime favorite. “Mom passed away in ’95 but memories will always be there for us,� she told me. Well said! 1 pound cream cheese, softened 16 oz. Catalina salad dressing Garlic salt to taste
Mix with mixer until smooth and creamy, but thick consistency. Use vegetables, crackers, chips or pretzels for dipping.
Baked pasta and chicken
I made this for the grandkids and they (and the adults) loved it. 2 cups whole wheat or regular pastina (or any short pasta)
Olive oil 2 chicken breasts, cut up – a good 3 cups or so 1 nice onion, chopped – about 11⠄2 cups 2-3 teaspoons garlic or bit more to taste 28 oz. diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups mozzarella Parsley, chopped Salt and pepper to taste Topping: 1 cup bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese mixed Butter or substitute Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cook pasta until just tender, about five minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, film bottom of pan with olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for a couple of minutes. Add onions and garlic, stirring to combine, and cook until onions are soft and chicken is cooked, about five minutes. Put into bowl with pasta. Add tomatoes, mozzarella, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Put in sprayed casserole. Sprinkle crumb mixture on top, dot with small bits of butter. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Tips from Rita’s kitchen
*Water vs. Juice for kids in sports: For Bill, a Northeast Suburban Life reader, whose kids are playing sports. Hydration is paramount. If an activity lasts less than one hour, water is fine. If it lasts 60 to 90 minutes or longer, a 6 to 8 percent carbohydrate sports drink or diluted fruit juice (to dilute juice from concentrate – and try to use 100 percent juice – use at least twice the water recommended) is good. * Information from “The Official Snack Guide for Beleaguered Sports Parents� which yours truly, along with three talented colleagues, wrote!

Tips to avoid dog bites this summer Dog bites are a largely preventable public health problem, yet 4.7 million Americans are bitten by a dog every year. Children are by far the most common victims but parents can teach children how to safely interact with dogs, and also learn what they should do if anyone is ever bitten by a dog. In Hamilton County from 2005-2007, 1,589 dog bites were reported, half of which occurred in children
through 19 years old. Understanding the right behavior to use and understanding a dog’s body language can make a difference when a child interacts with a dog. A child’s sudden movements could startle a dog and put him on the defensive. Barking, growling, stiff legs and hair standing up on the back are all signs a dog is unsafe. Children should: • Never approach a strange dog. Don’t make
Are You Considering Cataract Surgery?
eye contact and back away slowly. • Never tease a dog. • Never sneak up on a dog that is eating or sleeping. Animals may bite when they are frightened. • Always ask the owner’s permission before petting a dog. Let the dog sniff your hand, and then gently pet the dog’s back or sides. • Stay away from dogs that are chained, behind fences or in cars. They may be protective of their territory. • Never take bones, balls or other toys from a dog. Dogs are possessive. If a child is attacked by a dog, regardless of whether
the animal is a family pet, teaching the child what to do during an attack can minimize the risk and severity of the injury: • Drop to the ground. • Curl up in a ball. • Protect your head and face; cover your ears. • Try to remember what the dog looked like and where it went. Ohio law requires that all animal bites be reported to the local health department and that the biting animal be quarantined for at least 10 days. In Hamilton County, but outside the cities of Cincinnati, Norwood, Sharonville, Springdale and St. Bernard, report bites to Hamilton County Public Health at 513-946-7832.

Library concert honors former director Take a trip back in time as The Catacoustic Consort presents Music from the Renaissance at the Monfort Heights branch library at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 30. Catacoustic’s Artistic Director Annalisa Pappano and Instrumentalist James Lambert, of Westwood, will enchant audiences with the melodies of the viola da gamba, one of the predominant instruments of the Renaissance and Baroque periods in Western Europe. The concerts are free and open to the public. Lambert, a graduate of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, has been the associate principal bassist of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra since 1987. Early experiences with Baroque music inspired him to also learn to play the viola da gamba and led to a dual career as a performer of both instruments and as a teacher. Lambert taught the viol in CCM’s Early Music Lab for 15 years and presented the school’s first ever viola da gamba recitals. The Music of the Renaissance concert series is made possible by the James R. Hunt Trust Fund of the

Nursing students visit Ronald McDonald House Nursing majors from the College of Mount St. Joseph paid a visit the Ronald McDonald House last month, with food and supplies in hand. The students learned about the services provided through the Ronald McDonald House last fall in their “Community Search Project” class, and felt the need to help them in some way. Led by student Trisha Chastang, whose grandfather is a longtime volunteer at the house, the students scheduled a date to serve a
meal for those residing there. The students raised money from the sale of Tshirts they designed, canvassed the community for donations for the meal and did all the meal planning. They then purchased supplies for the House with the remaining funds available. “The enthusiasm expressed by these students was just contagious,” said Nancy Hinzman, MSN, associate professor of nursing. “I think it was an experience that will stay with them for a long time.”

Parenting help
“Parenting Can Be Overwhelming� is the theme for 12 new billboards, numerous bench ads and yard signs cropping up recently in the 45211 Zip code area. These mark the launch of the public awareness campaign by Strengthening Families, a two-year initiative, led by 4C for Children, which brings a new approach to child abuse prevention to Cincinnati’s Westwood and Cheviot neighborhoods. It enlists early childhood professionals in an effort to strengthen the families of children in their care. “If this program is successful in this area,� said project coordinator Carolyn Brinkman Carolyn, “the goal is to expand it to other neighborhoods in Cincinnati and throughout Ohio.� Nine child care centers and 15 family child care homes in the 45211 Zip code are participating in the project which encourages parents to bounce back from tough times, reach out to other parents for support, learn more about child development and seek help and community support in times of need. A new Web site offers tips and resources to parents: www.ConnectCommunitySupport.org.

The Doolin House Bed & Breakfast
Somerset, Kentucky’s Premiere Inn Located Just Minutes from Lake Cumberland
There is a joke among friends here, “It’s a Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. ”When Charles and Allison Hahn Sobieck purchased the property at 502 North Main Street (in Somerset, Kentucky), there was a lot of work to be done, to say the least. With the vision of a B & B and a home in ruins, there were little choices. The dilapidated structure was removed, then reconstructed as it had been in the 1850’s. It’s a brand new home. A bit of an unusual concept for a bed and breakfast. “We reconstructed the home from scratch. This gave us the benefit of designing every amenity possible along the way, ”said Allison Sobieck, owner. Every room is equipped with many amenities you don’t often find in a traditional bed and breakfast, but rather a fine hotel. Every room has a full sized closet with a pair of micro-fiber robes hanging in them, 400- count Egyptian cotton sheets, cable TV with DVD players, queen sized beds, and a host of other things. For instance, 2 rooms have gas fireplaces and 3 rooms have whirlpool tubs. We even offer many add on amenities such as massage, dinner, flowers, etc…

The rooms are only half of the reason to come to The Doolin House. Owners Charles and Allison just happen to both be chefs. Some of the breakfast specialties include Caramel Banana French Toast and Southern Eggs Benedict (2 fried green tomatoes topped with 2 slices of smoked bacon, 2 eggs over easy and Hollandaise). Chuck is usually in charge of breakfast and tries to do new and different things every day. Chef Chuck pointed out, “It’s fun to experiment with breakfast. It’s the one meal that encompasses all foods. It’s perfectly acceptable to see smoked salmon or a pork cutlet at the breakfast table. ”For those in no rush to rise and shine, breakfast in bed is served at no additional charge. When you need a weekend get away that’s not too far from home or you are planning your summer vacation to beautiful Lake Cumberland, remember that The Doolin House Bed and Breakfast is only a phone call away.
