Barbara Littner David said she’s created lasting memories with her children while taking trips with them around Cincinnati during the past six years, and she wants other parents to share similar experiences with their children. “It’s been such a blessing and so much fun,” said David, a Westwood resident and mother of five. “This area is so rich. I love to promote Greater Cincinnati because it’s such a great place.” She said she hopes her new book, “Cincinnati Trips With Kids,” will help parents discover all the fun and interesting places in the region they can visit with their children, and get out there and spend time together as a family. “I always thought it would be nice for people to see all the cool things there are in Cincinnati and around Cincinnati,” she said. The book, which is published by Edgecliff Press, provides details on 40 family-friendly attractions and destinations. David, a parttime English teacher, said all the trips are within a three-hour drive of Greater Cincinnati. She said she, her husband and her children have visited all the locations in the book, and the information is based on six years worth of monthly trips she’s taken with her family. “This book gives parents and grandparents everything they would need, so they know exactly what to expect when they get

For example, she provides information on whether the restrooms have baby changing stations, whether there is a place to check coats, where to park or whether strollers are permitted. David said the book includes places such as Cincinnati Nature Center, Coney Island, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, Pyramid Hill, Hocking Hills and museums and attractions in cities like Indi-
anapolis and Louisville. She said she did not include popular destinations like Kings Island or Cincinnati Reds games in the book because so many people already visit them each year. “I tried to pull out places that are unique and interesting,” she said. “And I tried to be really honest about all the places. Sometimes they’re not all as great as they say on their Web site.” David said she would like her
book to be a helpful resource for parents, especially in a tough economy when families are looking for inexpensive activities they can do close to home. “The book gives people the chance to find a couple of hours to spend time with their kids and create those special shared experiences and memories,” she said. David’s book is available from Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com and her Web site, www.barbara david.com.

The Hamilton County Board of County Commissioners will likely vote to approve the zoning amendment this week to allow Mercy Health Partners to build a new hospital and medical office complex off North Bend Road near Interstate 74. At a public hearing on the zoning issue Wednesday, Sept. 16, all three county commissioners indicated they would be comfortable supporting a zone change from residential to planned office for the proposed 70-acre site in Green Township. “This project is clearly a home run for the west side of Hamilton County and the county itself,” said Commissioner Greg Hartmann. Green Township Trustee David Linnenberg said the hospital development is a huge project for the future of the township. He said the hospital would bring 1,200 jobs to the township and spur further economic devel-
opment in Monfort Heights in the form of new shops and restaurants. Linnenberg added that Mercy Health Partners has worked well with the township in Linnenberg addressing concerns raised by residents. “There is no reason to not be in support of this project,” he said. Green Township resident Mark Broering Sr., who has helped lead opposition to the project, said the citizens group still disagrees with the location of the new hospital, but it was difficult for people to take time off work to attend the hearing and speak against the plan. He said the opposition group is still considering placing a referendum issue on the ballot. “We’re deciding as a group what we want to do, and then we’ll go from there,” Broering said. If the commissioners approve the project the opposition group

Pepper Hartmann will have 30 days to collect signatures and submit a petition for a referendum. The issue cannot be placed on this November’s ballot since the filing deadline passed, but a referendum could be placed on the May 2010 ballot. Patrick Kowalski, president and chief executive officer of Mercy Hospital Western Hills, said the new full-service hospital will expand access to health care, both inpatient and outpatient, for the residents of western Hamilton County. He said due to township residents speaking up and pointing out their concerns with the project, the present proposal is dramatically different than the plan originally drafted.

“We made those adjustments because being harmonious with the community is very important to our hospital system,” he said. While no one at the hearing spoke in opposition to the project, Commissioner David Pepper thanked the members of the citizens group who fought the original proposal. He said their input has made the project a better development, and he also commended those involved with the project for working hard to respond to objections. “I do think it means something,” Pepper said. “It clearly shows you (Mercy Health Partners) want to be a good member of the community.” He said one reason he is comfortable supporting the project when the commission votes on it at its regular meeting Wednesday, Sept. 23, is the number of jobs the hospital and medical office complex will bring to the area. “This is a time when jobs couldn’t be more important,” he said.

Seitz. “I have fought throughout my legislative career to ensure all our state's young
people, no matter their background, have the support and guidance necessary to grow and succeed.” In 2007, Seitz played a key role in crafting House Bill 214, which was designed to ensure foster parents have the training and preparation necessary to properly care for a foster child. In particular, he worked
to secure a provision in the bill to protect confidential foster parent information from public record. In addition, Seitz has consistently supported funding for communitybased, juvenile justice, mental health programs to help divert youth from Department of Youth Services' institutions.

Each player has been asked to dedicate this game to one of those individuals.” For more information on how to help, contact the Oak Hills Athletic Office, 467-7105.

Covedale yard sale returns By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Richard Stoll said the Covedale Garden District Group caused quite a stir last year when it decided not to host the neighborhood’s annual yard sale. “We received all kinds of e-mails from people asking what happened to the yard sale,” said Stoll, a Covedale Garden District resident and member of the neighborhood group. “This year the yard sale is back by popular demand.” Covedale Garden District residents will have their yards and garages open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3.
Streets involved in the sale include Relleum, Ralph, Western Hills, Heuwerth, Sumter, Leders, Mimosa, Beechmeadow, Colonial, Brunnerwood, Pasadena, Gables, Parkview, Willowood, Covedale, Sidney and Cleves Warsaw. Stoll said the neighborhood group hosted its first yard sale in 2004, and the event took place every fall until 2007. He said members of the neighborhood group decided not to put on the yard sale last year because they weren’t sure whether people had enough items still accumulated in their garages and basements to warrant a yard sale for a fifth straight year, but that decision

A group of alumni from St. Lawrence School are putting together a class reunion spanning 25 years. Debbie (Downey) McClanahan, a 1976 St. Lawrence graduate who is chairing the event with 1988 graduate Steve Bailey, said they have invited anyone who graduated from the school from 1970 through 1995 to come back for a reunion. “We are planning the biggest reunion in the history of St. Lawrence,” McClanahan said. “This will be an incredible evening to reconnect with our many friends and teachers.” The reunion is set for 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3, in the St. Lawrence Parish Center, 3680 Warsaw Ave.
Tickets to the event are $30 each, until Friday, Sept. 25. After the deadline and at the door, tickets will be $50 each. McClanahan said the reunion is a fundraiser for the school, and all the proceeds will be donated back to St. Lawrence. “It’s just a great cause,” she said. “The school is in desperate need of new windows, so we want to buy the school windows and hope to even raise enough to offer a scholarship to a student from St. Lawrence who is a freshman at Seton and/or Elder.” She said the event will also feature a split-the-pot raffle and an auction of gift baskets to raise money for the school. Donations of items for the gift baskets are being accepted. Volunteers on the plan-
ning committee are working to line up entertainment for the evening, as well as food and drinks. St. Lawrence alumni who want to learn more about the reunion can visit www.stlawrencereunion.co m for information, or call McClanahan at 941-3152. Those who want to buy tickets in advance can send checks or money orders, made payable to St. Lawrence Reunion, to St. Lawrence Reunion Tickets, 1397 Wexford Lane, Cincinnati, Ohio 45233. “We are really excited about getting these classes together and at the same time having a fundraiser to benefit St. Lawrence School,” McClanahan said. “This is a wonderful parish that provided us with a great education and we are happy to give back.”

McAuley students help boys in Jamaica Ten McAuley High School students, one alumna and two teachers traveled to Jamaica this summer on an immersion trip to help the St. John Bosco Boys Home. Teachers Greg Niehaus and Lynne Morris, and 2007 graduate Jill Wiebell were chaperones for students Katy Bertke, Fiona Burzynski, Maddie Herbert, Hannah Jester, Catherine Junker, Katlyn Klare, Shannon Makin, Carly Rothan, Chelsea Wells and Sarah Weyer. The St. John Bosco Boys Home in Manchester, Jamaica, is a residential child-care institution owned and operated by the Sisters of Mercy, the same order of Catholic Sisters that sponsors McAuley High School. Approximately 160 boys, ages 3 to 18, live at St. John Bosco, which is run

Residents rise at 5:30 a.m. daily for chores, including butchering pigs and chickens (the sale of which helps support the home), cooking and serving food, cutting grass and
other jobs. McAuley students worked at different kinds of physical jobs, such as scrubbing the outside walls of the dental clinic building with soap and water three times, and painting the clinic’s front porch and steps. They also sanded, primed and painted six sets of bunk beds for the boys, and washed three walls of the schoolhouse, the front gates, the office and house awnings and the house walls. Several of the students helped the Sisters with computer work and prepared flyers for mailing. During a daily break from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and
again after dinner, McAuley students interacted with the boys of Bosco, talking with them, reading to them, watching movies, and playing games with them. They helped entertain at a monthly birthday party for the residents, with both groups of young people teaching each other the latest dance steps. The McAuley students were chosen to go to Jamaica through an interview process and met monthly until they departed for their trip. Each student researched a different aspect of Jamaica and reported back to the group, so that they were prepared for the journey.

Lions Club answers call to volunteer Foundation opens apparel company By Kurt Backscheider
kbackscheider@communitypress.com
Members of the Western Hills Lions Club are challenging area service clubs, business leaders and individuals to sign up to be volunteers in the event of a pandemic of the H1N1 virus. Club members recently met with Tristate Medical Reserve Corps Director Jared Warner and Dr. Steven Englender, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at the Cincinnati Health Department, to discuss the virus and the need for volunteers. “Now that the pandemic or novel H1N1 virus is here and moving fast, the Western Hills Lions Club has taken the challenge, signing up to serve as volunteers and are throwing down the gauntlet to other service clubs to take action and fol-

Galloway, a Green Township resident, said club members learned at the seminar that in addition to the typical flu virus, as many as 30 percent to 50 percent of people in Greater Cincinnati may contract the H1N1 virus sometime during the
upcoming flu season. “That presents an obvious potential for havoc within our community,” he said. He said education, preparation and the vaccine, when it becomes available, are the best tools to protect oneself from the virus. If there is a pandemic, Galloway said public health officials will need assistance

to organize and track the administering of the vaccine, which is where the Lions Club and similar service organizations have been asked to step up. “Public health officials would love to have some backup volunteers available,” he said. “Given the severity of the matter we ask all service clubs in the Tristate area to stand up and be counted.” He said there would be a wide range of volunteer opportunities available for those who want to lend a hand, such as helping set up a point of distribution for the vaccine. Volunteers are only asked to provide their phone numbers to a directory, he said. After specific needs are defined, automated calls are made describing the times, dates and types of help needed. A contact number the volunteer should call if they are available to help is also provided in the automated call. “If you can make it, make the call,” Galloway said. “It’s that simple.” The Lions Club is compiling a list of volunteers ready to serve, and those phone numbers will be submitted to the Tristate Medical Reserve Corps, he said. Volunteers can also sign up at www.serveohio.org. “Our biggest push is to get all the service clubs involved,” he said. “Help and support is surely needed.” Those who want to learn more about volunteering can contact Galloway at bgallo@fuse.net, or Jared Warner at jared.warner@ cincinnati-oh.gov.

Elder holds off pesky Lancers By Tony Meale
tmeale@communitypress.com
The Elder High School football team lived up to its billing last Friday, downing a tenacious Lancers squad on the road, 23-13. Elder led 14-0 after a four-yard touchdown run by senior quarterback Mark Miller and a 10-yard touchdown run by junior running back Ben Coffaro. But La Salle, which entered the game 3-0, stormed back. Senior running back Zach Abbatiello hauled in a three-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Drew Kummer to cut the deficit to 14-7. Following a 40-yard field goal by Elder senior kicker Tony Miliano, Kummer scored from two yards out to bring La Salle to within 17-13 at halftime. Elder, however, yielded nothing more. Senior Jake Fishburn picked off Kummer three times – including one on the Panther two-yard line with under three minutes to play – as La Salle was held scoreless after halftime. “In the second half, we just couldn’t get our offense going because of the turnovers,” La Salle head coach Tom Grippa said. The Elder offense, meanwhile, opened the second half with a touchdown drive, which culminated in a 15-yard reception by IUrecruit Tim O’Conner. It was a defensive struggle the rest of the way, as Fishburn’s interception slammed the door on La Salle’s comeback bid. Elder (4-0, 1-0) will embark on a tough two-

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 – all before calling it a night late in the second quarter. Most of Massa’s yards came on a 60-yard touchdown strike to senior wide
zone until the final two minutes of the Highlanders’ win over the Comets, 1310. Mason scored with 1:52 left in the fourth quarter to bring the game within three points but Oak Hills recovered the ensuing onside kick to ice the win. The Highlanders took a 10-0 lead into halftime against Mason with a oneyard run from Cory Burgin and a 36-yard field goal from Charlie Montgomery. Montgomery added a 28-yard field goal in the third quarter to round out the scoring for Oak Hills. Senior quarterback Steve Gebing led Oak Hills with 63 yards on 17 carries. The Highlanders and Sycamore were ranked No. 9 in Cincinnati with 13 points each according to the Enquirer’s Division I Coaches’ Poll for week three.

Seton High School juniors Andrea Book, left, and Sarah Ritter, right, try to block a kill attempt by Mount Notre Dame junior Kathleen Donnellon Sept. 15.The Saints lost 3-0.
In 2008, the Seton High School volleyball team finished 7-16 overall and went winless in the GGCL. Well, 2008 is over. After dropping their season-opener at Notre Dame, the Saints won four of their next five matches, including a 3-2 decision (23-25, 2518, 25-14, 22-25, 15-11) against league-rival McAuley Sept. 10. “Winning the first GGCL match this year was a great feeling, and I was so excited for the girls,” said first-year head coach Sara Redman, who went 41-9 during her coaching tenure at Chaminade Julienne from 2006 to 2007. “But we are still taking it one day at a time. Getting the girls to believe is not easy, but we work on it every day.” Seton (4-4, 1-2 as of Sept. 18) blanked the reign-
ing Division-II state champions, Padua Franciscan, 3-0 Sept. 12, before losing two conference matches to Mount Notre Dame and Ursuline – both of which advanced to the Division I Final Four last year. “We have played some great teams this year, and we can only hope to build and learn from them,” said Redman, who hopes to lead her team to a league title and a Final Four. Several Saints have contributed to Seton’s turnaround, including seniors Emily Averbeck (L), Noelle Schwarz (OH) and Andrea Gentile (S), as well as junior Sarah Ritter (MH). “We have some great defensive players who can really keep balls alive when our team cannot put the ball down,” Redman said. For now, the Saints are focused on getting better as a team. “We are really trying to

before. “It’s kind of a typical St. X soccer story,” head coach Henry Ahrens said. “We’re not really built around superstars. I don’t know if we have a legitimate D-I player; (senior midfielder) Chris Nam may be the closest we have to that. So we’re building around the team concept. Everyone must play together. We don’t have the widest margin for error and can’t rely on talent to get by, so we have to work pretty hard.” The Bombers (4-3, 1-0 as of Sept. 16) are doing just that. They opened the season with a pair of 1-0 wins over Lexington Catholic and Toledo St. John’s before dropping three straight matches to tough opponents; they lost 1-0 to

Cleveland St. Ignatius, which is ranked No. 1 in Ohio and No. 3 nationally; they fell 2-0 to Lakota West, which is ranked No. 1 in the city; and they fell 4-1 to Fairfield, which is ranked No. 3 in the city. Ahrens was pleased with his team’s effort against St. Ignatius and Lakota West, which scored its first goal with just 15 minutes remaining in the game. “(The Lakota West game) was competitive,” he said. “We got the better end of it the first half, but they got the better end of it in the second half.” As for Fairfield, however, Ahrens was disappointed with St. X’s showing. “The one game where we weren’t happy with our effort was the Fairfield game,” he said. “After the Ignatius game, we said we’d make that our standard for competition, and we didn’t uphold that against Fairfield.” In fact, the Bombers allowed more goals against Fairfield (four) than they have in their other six
games combined (three). “I think we’re still finding our identity,” Ahrens said. “We’re playing some tough opponents, so there’s bound to be some ups and downs.” Since losing to Fairfield, the Bombers have won 3-0 over Badin and 6-0 over Roger Bacon. Leading St. X is senior Josh Kellam of Pleasant Ridge, who has posted shutouts in all four of the Bombers’ wins. “He made some big saves in our two wins to start the season,” Ahrens said. Also contributing are seniors Chris Nam (M), Jack Wells (M), Connor Sambrookes (D) of Symmes Township and Max Bucher (D). “Our defense has been more of a strength than offense,” Ahrens said. “We’re still searching for leadership. Even though we’re a senior-heavy team, we don’t have a lot of experience. Some of our guys didn’t start last year or were playing JV. But I’ve really

Ranked No. 7 in the city, St. X is currently atop the Greater Catholic LeagueSouth division, as showdowns loom against La Salle (Sept. 19), at Moeller (Oct. 3) and at Elder (Oct. 17). The Bombers, which won the GCL in 2008, are hoping for a repeat performance. “We hope to be there at the end,” Ahrens said.

EDITORIALS
I believe I speak for a lion’s share of Western Hills Press readers and constituents in this congressional district: Please cease and desist in publishing anymore Steve Driehaus’ lies and propaganda. The Community Press allows these lies and deceptions to the contrary of the beliefs and viewpoints of the people of this district and readers of your publication. Funding Planned Parenthood without funding abortions is paramount to believing that there is a Social Security “lock box.” Who is he kidding? Section 8? The Democrats passed the Section 8 legislation allowing funding for properties behind Western Bowl during the Repubs summer break a few years ago. We are tired of the deception and the out-and-out lies spewing from all politicians and regret the Press’ “lap dog” mentality of catering to and publishing this propaganda and these lies. Mark McCloy Sunburst Ridge Lane Green Township
Parking problems
Board of education members, if you think Oak Hills High School has a parking problem, come to Springmyer at 2:45 p.m. or to attend a school function. Why did they put a park by Springmyer? Between the park functions and school, this parking lot is full. I think it’s time to move the park or the school. I’m sure the teachers would enjoy a new school. About the article in the Western Hills Press July 22, page A5, buying properties for Oak Hills High School and Bridgetown Middle School for parking or whatever. When these buildings come down, would this be less tax revenue for Green Township? We sure don’t need a tax increase on our properties. I see other properties down in Green Township whereby I’m sure we are losing tax revenue. Hope the grandparents and parents of Springmyer school join with me and give their views, which could be better than mine. Oscar H. Duncan Springmyer Drive Green Township
Flag removal disrespectful
I am writing to a very upsetting matter that happened Friday, Sept. 11. I work at Rohe Pharmacy in Cheviot and as I was getting our flag to hang outside the store, we noticed Cheviot's staff removing
the flags lining Harrison Avenue at 10 a.m. All of us inside could not believe our eyes. I stopped them and called (Steve) Neal. The first reason was due to the budget, no overtime allowed for them to be taken down Saturday. My answer was to keep up until Monday then. Second reason, the flags have been up since previous Friday for Labor Day and parades. They are getting worn, there is no money to replace them and more chances of them getting ruined by the bar people over the weekend. I offered to take them down myself. As I expressed how disrespectful this was and the fact I have a Marine nephew in Iraq now fighting for what happened this day. He told me he is an exMarine. They could’ve been taken down at the end of Friday's shift. Thank you all military, emergency services and their families. Also, once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi. Kathy Voelker Westbourne Drive Green Township
Honoring Toni Weikel
The west side has lost a valuable citizen. For years, Toni Weikel guided hundreds of youngsters, through bowling, to be good sports. She made sure that every player felt that they were winners and important in the game. She was there every week to encourage and cheer them on. When tempers flared, Toni stepped in quietly and differences were resolved without additional anger. At the end of each season every player received some sort of reward even if they did not excel as players. That recognition helped them to try harder. Players and parents and some grandparents in attendance were given a small treat on a regular basis. Toni managed to speak with each member and supporter every game. She was always willing to listen to any concern regarding her players, often times offering her sage advice garnered from her own years as parent and grandparent. Some health issues sidelined her for a short time, but soon as she was able she was back as a guiding force for her kids. Toni’s hand on your shoulder made you know if you needed her help in any way, just ask. Toni, you will be missed on the west side, but what you have imparted to each of us will remain for a lifetime. Jessica Scully Brookforest Drive Delhi Township

Has there been a decline of civility at town hall and public meetings in general? If so, why do think this is so?
“Please correct me if I am wrong, but more than one elected politician was rude to President
Bush when he spoke to Congress, 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
After the Elder-Colerain game, Coach Doug Ramsey wisely told his players, “Soak it up and enjoy it!” For many the ESPN mega media event was more than a game. It was an occasion to celebrate the west side. Perhaps we should reflect and ask, “How did this happen? It happened because long ago some very creative people started a tradition that continues to inspire us, challenge us and change us. The tradition transformed a pie-in-the-sky idea into The Pit. Built by volunteers, it is now a symbol of our west-side, self-sufficient nature. USA Today named it one of the best places to watch a high school football game. Citing its intimate setting, dug into Price Hill, backyards border the stadium, it’s acknowledged that the neighborhood is what makes The Pit special. The Panther Pavilion, unwittingly referred to by some as the deck behind the house on Regina, is an expression of a desire to improve the neighborhood and The Pit. Enjoyed by many, it’s the new best seat in the house. This pie-in-the-sky idea afforded Pur-
ple Properties the needed capital to renovate the Regina home. Now its current occupants represent a new breed of purple. A physiJim Grawe cian from out of looking Community town, for a football Press guest home for his two columnist sons, was attracted to the idea of watching them play from the Pavilion. The Pavilion enhances the Pit’s emotional relationship with the Elder community and helps to validate Price Hill as a unique and authentic place. So much so that it is rumored, falsely I might add, that Purple Properties is under investigation by the Ohio High School Athletic Association for recruiting violations. For the record, the Pavilion endeavor is not about the game. It’s about believing in a tradition, personalizing it and creatively passing it on. But now, especially that the pie-in-the-sky PAC is a reality, to what will we aim our sights? Will

the Purple Nation reclaim its homeland or continue to chant “We’re from Price Hill … ” and then drive home toward the westside frontier of West Harrison and Bright, Ind.? What is Price Hill’s future? And how will it reflect on the Purple Nation? Will there be more vacant lots, abandoned homes and multi-level parking garages to accommodate the crowd on game day? Or will this new breed in turn inspire us to create a little Wrigleyville with sidewalk cafes and luxury condominiums with rooftop gardens, balconies and more Pavilions from which to watch the game? Will we brag about how we arrived hours early and found a choice parking space? Or will more neighbors tailgate in their front yards and simply walk to the game? Will we say, “Its just high school! It’s just a game!” and concede that a new Price Hill is a piein-the-sky idea? Or will we continue to strive for the higher things? Jim Grawe is a founding member of Purple Properties LLC.
How to prepare for H1N1 As H1N1 flu continues to circulate both locally and nationally, Hamilton County Public Health is working to prepare for vaccine distribution as well as possible widespread illness this fall. Since 2001, public health agencies have been working hard to ensure we are prepared to handle emergency situations that might arise from natural disasters, terrorist attacks or disease pandemics. While governments and public health agencies are hard at work, there are things everyone can do to stay healthy. H1N1 virus seems to spread the same way seasonal flu spreads: Mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with flu. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. That’s why practicing proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette is critical: • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If soap and water are not near by, use an alcohol-based hand cleaner. • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If a tissue is not available, use the inside of your elbow to cover your cough or sneeze, not your hands. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. • Try to avoid close contact with sick people. Try to stay six feet away from people who are coughing or sneezing. • If you are sick, you should stay home until you are fever-free,
without the use of fever-reducing medicine, for at least 24 hours. As we anticipate H1N1 and regular flu season, there are some additional ways to protect yourself and help stop the spread of disease in our community.
Get informed
This is a rapidly changing situation. Get updated information at www.hamiltoncountyhealth.com and www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu.
Get vaccinated
Vaccines are the most powerful public health tool for control of flu and everyone should consider receiving the H1N1 vaccine, upon availability. People that are at high risk for illness and therefore are a priority to receive the H1N1 vaccine include: • Pregnant women • People who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age • Health care and emergency services personnel • People between the ages of 6 months through 24 years of age • People ages 25 through 64 years with chronic health disorders or weakened immune systems Don’t forget about the seasonal flu vaccine! There is a lot of discussion about H1N1 flu, but the usual seasonal flu viruses are still expected to cause illness this fall and winter. While it won’t protect you against H1N1 flu, the single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot each fall. By getting a flu shot, you ensure that you will stay healthy and that you will not spread the flu to those who are at

• Review proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette with your children now – don’t wait until they get sick. • Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home for a week or so; a supply of over-thecounter medicines, alcohol-based hand rubs, tissues and other related items could be useful and help avoid the need to make trips out in public while you are sick and contagious. • Make plans for emergency child care in case your child is ill and unable to attend school.
Businesses
• Discuss leniency for sick days to accommodate parents that may need to stay home with sick children. • Review business continuity plans and think about what your organization will do if there are many employees out sick.

• Encourage members to cover their coughs and sneezes appropriately. • Hang up informational posters or distribute educational flyers. Tim Ingram is the commissioner of Hamilton County Public Health.

Why love treats us the way it does What was glamorous and exciting and sexy now has its d a y s when it is anything Father Lou but all Guntzelman that. What a Perspectives was 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.

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 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.)

Get your hands on homemade foaming soap With the school year in full swing and flu season upon us, we’re all into the “wash your hands often� mode. I thought it would be good to share my recipe for homemade foaming soap. It’s actually been around a while but is sure timely today. Plus by making your own foaming soap, you’ll save money and be doing your part to be “green.� Let the kids help – they’ll have fun, and be more apt
to wash their little hands if they’ve made their own soap.
Wash dispenser well. Rinse with clear vinegar. Rinse again and let drain. The vinegar helps kill any bacteria that may be in the container.
Rita’s homemade foaming soap
The bonus? More suds with less soap!
Foaming hand soap:
Rita Heikenfeld Rita’s kitchen
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 they’re empty I make my own as follows:
Make your soap:
11⠄3 cups good quality water to 6 tablespoons or so of favorite liquid hand soap. Anti-bacterial or not – you choose.
fillings. The first filling holds up better, meaning you can fill the puffs and refrigerate them at least several hours before serving; the second filling is more delicate and more creamy.
COURTESY RITA HEIKENFELD
Foaming and other soaps made with my friend Carol Vanover. 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 ⠄2 cup solid shortening like Crisco 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 ⠄2 cup confectioners’ sugar Then beat in 1 cup Marshmallow Fluff
Jane and Carolyn’s cream puff filling:
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.
Foaming dishwashing soap:
And while you’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: 11⠄3 cups good quality water to 6 to 8 tablespoons dishwashing liquid (start with 6, check to see how it’s working, and add more if needed), plus 2 tablespoons clear vinegar (optional) to cut the grease.
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 confectioners’ sugar.

Tips from readers
From Mark A. regarding “parve� products. Mark says: “The definition of
“parve� (or “pareve�) in your column was only half right. “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. “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 that’s beside the point).�
Cake tips from Martha
I’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 night’s class: • Bake cakes and quickbreads at 325 degrees and not at 350 degrees as most recipes state. You’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. • To smooth white or pastel color frosting, dip spatula in warm water and smooth over cake. Smooth top first, then sides. Don’t use on chocolate or deeply colored icing as this will leave streaks and spots. Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author.

BRIEFLY Neighborhood reunion
Anyone who remembers Queen Ann’s Ice Cream Parlor, Flugmans Dry Goods Store or St. Bonaventure Church is invited to see if they remember any of their old friends as well. A reunion has been scheduled for families who lived in the South Fairmount area from 1920 through 1970. The event begins at noon Sunday, Oct. 4, at Harvest Home Park in Cheviot. Those who remember growing up in South Fairmount are encouraged to attend, and advised
to bring their own food and drinks. No glass or alcoholic beverages are permitted. For more information, call Louise at 481-0915.
Applying for funds
The Green Township Trustees passed a resolution at their meeting Monday, Sept. 14, allowing Public Services Director Fred Schlimm to apply with the Ohio Public Works Commission for financial assistance in 2010 for road improvements. The township will apply for
matching grants from the public works commission to help fund a reconstruction project on Bluebird Lane, intersection improvements at Race and Bridgetown roads and intersection improvements at Taylor and Rybolt roads. The Bluebird Lane project is estimated to cost the township $331,750; the Race and Bridgetown improvements are estimated to cost $314,500; and the Taylor and Rybolt project is estimated to cost $369,803. If the application is approved the public works commission would provide the township a matching grant for each project.
Good sports
Oak Hills High School athletes and coaches exemplify the same qualities the late Harold C. Meyer believed everyone involved in sports should have – sportsmanship, ethics and integrity. The Highlanders are this
year’s recipients of an award named for Meyer, who served as commissioner of the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) from 1969 to 1977. Each year the association presents the Harold C. Meyer Award for Sportsmanship, Ethics and Integrity to schools that complete an eight-part program promoting these characteristics in their schools and communities. “We are proud to receive this honor from the OHSAA to recognize our work on the field and in the community this past year,” said junior football and basketball player Cory Burgin. “We look forward to continuing the high standards now set for sportsmanship at Oak Hills.” Oak Hills Athletic Director Jan Wilking said Oak Hills received a banner to hang in the school gym. “This award is a credit to our student athletes and coaches who have worked hard this past season to set

an expectation of excellence in terms of sportsmanship within the Oak Hills athletic program,” Wilking said.

Exhibit celebrates Sisters of Charity The Studio San Giuseppe Art Gallery at the College of Mount St. Joseph now has on exhibit Visual Charity: Celebrating Sisters of Charity in Art, Architecture & Artifact. The exhibit, which runs through Oct. 25, showcases the arts connection between the Sisters of Charity and the College of Mount St. Joseph. Highlights of the exhibit include art works by sisters who were art professors and the history of the Mount’s Mater Dei Chapel. Selected items are on loan from the permanent collection of the Sisters of Charity. The College of Mount St. Joseph was founded by the Sisters of Charity in 1920 as Southwestern Ohio’s first Catholic college for women. The architectural design of the art building and the chapel were strongly influenced by Sister Augusta Zimmer, who taught fine art and art history courses at the college. The artwork gracing the Mater Dei Chapel comes from the hearts and hands of Sister Augusta Zimmer and her art students. An internationally known artist of her time, she empowered her students to capture a “spiritual message” when creating the chapel’s works of art. The year 2009 will mark the anniversary of the founding of the American Sisters of Charity by St. Elizabeth Seton in Emmitsburg, Md. This is a significant event both for the Sisters of Charity and for the American Catholic Church, since the Sisters of Charity were the first active congregation of women religious founded in the United States, as well as the largest community to serve our country and
church during the entire antebellum period. “The Sisters of Charity are very pleased and excited to join with Studio San Giuseppe in presenting this exhibit as part of our 200th anniversary celebration. We have always considered appreciation for beauty and an appreciation of the arts an important part of education, and we welcome this opportunity to share some of the treasures of our history,” said Judith Metz, S.C. , archivist for the Sisters of Charity. Studio San Giuseppe’s gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays, 1 p.m. -5 p.m. For information, call 244-4314.

Sonny Landreth will be performing Saturday Oct. 3 at the St. Xavier Performance Center at 8 p.m. The concert is part of a series hosted by the Greater Cincinnati Performing Arts Society. Landreth is an extremely competent player in the conventional form, but is most well-known for his signature slide playing. Landreth has developed a technique where he also frets notes and plays chords and chord fragments behind the slide while he plays. He plays with the slide on his little finger so that his other fingers have more room to fret behind the slide. He’s also known for his unique right-hand technique, which involves tapping, slapping, and picking strings, using all of the fingers on his right hand. Playing bottleneck slide – and exploring the chordal tunings that accompany the style – offered Landreth a

take a breath has its own warmth – to me that makes it very vocal. “And by slurring you make the most of the phrase and it ends up behind the beat: you anticipate it sometimes and you’re on the back of it other times. “You elongate even that one beat. If something tastes really good, you can either just scarf it down or you can take your time and reeeaaaaallly stretch the moment.” “From the Reach,” Sonny Landreth’s ninth album, is the first to be released on his own Landfall label. On it, the Louisianabased slide guitar player collaborates with five of the greatest guitar players – Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler,
Robben Ford, Eric Johnson and Vince Gill. Also making on the album is legendary New Orleans pianist and singer Dr. John and iconic Gulf Coast troubadour Jimmy Buffett. “I’ve wanted to make this kind of record for a long time – to do an entire album that would feature some of my favorite players as special guests,” says Landreth, who’s as articulate as he is virtuosic. “And after all these years, I’ve gotten to become friends with them, so that addressed the question of, who do you ask? Every one of them wanted to do it, so that really fired me up.” Ticketing and information is at www.gcparts.org or by call 484-0157.

One of the Cincinnati Zoo’s new Malayan tiger cubs has a name, thanks to Green Township resident Christina Martin. Martin submitted the name Tahan, pronounced Ta-Han, which Malaysian for strength and endurance, was one of four selected by the zoo. Tahan’s siblings are Bashir, pronounced baSHEER, meaning harbinger of good things; Kadar, pronounced ka-DAR, meaning powerful; and Tanvir, pronounced Tan-Veer, meaning strong. The names were selected out of more than 3,000 names submitted from across the country during a 17-day contest. Multiple entries of the winning names were placed in a random drawing for the final winner to be chosen. All four winning entries will receive a basic family level membership to the Cincinnati Zoo. The Malayan tiger is one of six living subspecies of tiger. Currently, the Malayan tiger is considered endangered. There are 54 Malayan tigers living in North American zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and it is estimated there are less than 1,000 remaining in the wild. The Cincinnati Zoo has had Malayan tigers since 1990 and has produced 28 cubs since that time.

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.
