Green dedicates vets tower By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Green Township has a long tradition of honoring our military veterans – 200 years worth of tradition. The township itself is named after Revolutionary War hero Maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene, so it’s fitting the township continues to pay tribute to veterans in its bicentennial year. Residents are invited to join township officials and area veterans as they dedicate the new Veterans Tribute Tower during the township’s annual Veterans Day observations at Veterans Park on Harrison Avenue. The ceremony will begin promptly 11 a.m. Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11. The tribute tower and bell, the first to be erected in the state of

Parade of honor The 2009 Veterans Day Parade will be Sunday, Nov. 8, down the streets of Cheviot. This year’s parade honoring the men and women who have served our country begins promptly at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, in Cheviot. The 20th annual parade follows the reverse route of the Harvest Home Parade – it begins at North Bend Road and Woodbine Avenue, turns west onto Harrison Avenue and ends at Cheviot City Hall. “This is the only parade for the veterans in Hamilton County on that Sunday,” Gettler said. There will be a short memorial

service following the parade. The antique and classic cars will also be on display. For parade info, call Bill Gettler at 738-3844. The Veterans Day banquet will begin with cocktails at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, at Gailey VFW Post 7340, 8326 Brownsway Lane in North College Hill. Price is $25 per person and includes dinner and open bar. Dinner is 7:308:30 p.m. with the program afterwards lasting no longer than 45 minutes. For ticket information, call Eugene Jablonowski at 825-3815; for banquet info, call Robyn Lucas at 522-2719.

features a clock and a 250-pound bronze bell engraved with the words “Thank God for Our Veterans.” “It will stand as a lasting monument in honor of the brave men and women who have fought for our freedom,” Green Township Trustee Tracy Winkler said. “We believe this Veterans Tribute Tower is a most appropriate commemoration of our veterans as we celebrate 200 years of community.” Green Township Administrator Kevin Celarek said the Veterans Day ceremony will have two different focuses. The first will feature the members of Green Township VFW Post 10380 as they present their annual Veterans Day ceremony, and the second aspect of the event will

focus on the dedication of the tribute tower. “We’re going to have some of the oldest veterans in Green Township there to be the first people to ring the bell in the Veterans Tribute Tower,” he said. He said U.S. Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-1st District) will be on hand as well to present the township with an American flag. The power to the tower will then be turned on, and it will play a patriotic tune, Celarek said. The tower will play music at noon and 6 p.m. every day from that point on. “We encourage all our veterans from all over the area to be a part of the ceremony,” he said. “We’re really hoping this will be a special tribute to our veterans.” He said in the spring the township will construct a very nice landscaped path to connect the tribute tower to the Veterans Plaza at the park.

‘Fear the Cliff’ run benefits C.T. Young By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are invited to take part in an annual race benefiting the Three Rivers Local School District. The fourth annual Fear the Cliff 5K/10K Run and Walk is set for 9 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 8, at Taylor High School, 36 E. Harrison Ave., North Bend. All the proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the Advancement of Technology Fund at Charles T. Young Elementary School in Cleves. Kari Kuh, development director for Three Rivers, said Fear the Cliff got its name from the race course, which takes participants from Taylor High School past the tomb of William Henry Harrison. Once runners and walkers make it past the tomb, a challenging hill takes them to the cliff overlooking the Ohio River from far above, she said. “I like to emphasize the lovely route,” Kuh said.

Taylor High School graduate Sarah Hardtke makes her way up the hill overlooking the Ohio River during last year’s Fear the Cliff Run/Walk. This year’s run, the fourth annual, will benefit the technology fund at Charles T. Young Elementary School in Cleves. “It’s picturesque, overlooking the Ohio River, and this time of year with the fall leaves coloring the area it’s simply gorgeous.” She said the view of the river against the backdrop of the autumn foliage makes the run a memorable event that brings par-

ticipants back year after year. The race begins and ends at the high school, and runners and walkers can take part in either a 5K run, 10K run or 5K fitness walk. Race categories include men and women from ages 14 and

younger to those 80 and older. Awards are presented to the top male and female participants in each category. Those who pre-register for the event receive a long sleeve T-shirt on race day. Pre-registration is $25 for adults and $15 for children under 18. Kuh said registration is also available the day of the race from 7-9 a.m. Registration on race day is $30 for adults and $20 for children. Those who register on race day will be provided a T-shirt on a first-come first-served basis. The cost to register a family for the event is $75. Refreshments are served after the race. “Although we have plenty of competitive runners and walkers who join us for the event we encourage families and the more casual walker to join us also in support of the benefit for C.T. Young Elementary,” Kuh said. Registration forms are available at www.threeriversschools. org, or by calling Kuh at 9416400.

Prisicillia Simpson, a partner in Treasures Thrift Store, color sorts merchandise in the shop at 6962 Harrison Ave. from the program, as is Phillipi Baptist Church in Western Hills. Residents who donate

Treasures will sell the items and donate 25 percent of the sale back to the school district credited for the donation. The shop is the brainstorm of a group of friends, which includes Jonathan Fisher, Colerain High School class of 2000. “It’s a great way to support education,” he said. “Our donations are targeted for academic programs and

He said an experience with his nephew, who knew all the words to an MTV video song but needed help with homework facts, convinced him that education needs a helping hand. “These kids will be making decisions for us when we are old,” he said. “And right now, all they want to do is dance.” One of his partners, Priscillia Simpson, is an education major, another is a former teacher, so Fisher says a connection to schools was natural for the group. “This program is designed to give to academics,” Simpson said. The store has name brands and is spacious, clean with good lighting. It has some furniture, knickknacks and lots of clothes from child through adult sizes. Fisher says the group has plans to expand locations and beneficiaries and is currently scouting a location on the east side of town.

Civic group sponsors design contest By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

The Westwood Civic Association is asking neighbors to show their pride in Westwood by hanging neighborhood flags in front of their homes. And the group is also giving Westwood residents the chance to design what the flag will look like. The association is sponsoring a flag drawing con-

test. The winner will receive $400 and have their design used to create the flag that will be flown in front of homes throughout the community. “A great way to show our pride is to fly a flag showing the spirit of Westwood in front of our homes,” said Becky Weber, a civic association board member. “We would like our neighbors to participate in

our contest. You only need to live in Westwood to be eligible.” She said the civic association is borrowing the idea to create a neighborhood flag from the Price Hill Civic Association, which designed and sold several flags to residents of West Price Hill last year. “We decided it was a great idea and we thought, ‘Why don’t we have the residents of the neighbor-

Breakfast helps Kreuter scholarship fund A pancake breakfast will benefit the David Kreuter Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The second place winner will receive $100. A committee comprised of civic association members will serve as the judges for the contest, and to make sure the evaluation process is fair, members of the judging committee and their families are not eligible to enter, she said. The theme for the contest is Westwood Pride and all the contestants must address the theme in their design. Entries must be free-hand drawings using pen, pencil, paint or any combination of those media, and they must be submitted on a 9 inch by 12 inch poster board. Weber said the deadline to submit an entry is midnight Friday, Nov. 20. The winner will be announced at the civic association’s meeting Tuesday, Dec. 8. “I think the coolest part about the contest is that the winning flag could be a child’s design or it could be a grownup’s design. It could be any average Westwood citizen,” she said. For a complete list of contest rules and an entry form, visit www.westwoodcivic.org.

– William H. Harrison and Benjamin Harrison. With 12 sites on the itinerary in western Hamilton County, the route starts in North Bend and Cleves, and follows rural roads through Whitewater, Harrison and Crosby townships, and city of Harrison before heading into Butler County. Among sites along the way are WIlliam Harrison Tomb, two Hamilton County parks, the Whitewater Canal Tunnel, Governor Looker’s 1804 home, the Passmore Cabin and White Water Shaker Village. There are 12 more sites in Butler County. “The Presidential trail offers a core sample of American history,” said Bonita Porter, chairwoman of the Presidential Pathways Scenic Byway committee. “The story includes the westward push into the Northwest Territory and the Civil War and Underground Railroad eras. The canals, tunnels and covered bridges built during this period along this route were engineering models for their day.” The Land Conservancy recognizes the scenic byway’s potential for drawing visitors to western Hamilton County. Increased tourism close to home for history, heritage and outdoor recreation brings many economic benefits. The Land Conservancy of Hamilton County, Ohio – a nonprofit organization with membership open to all – helps families preserve their lands, and works to protect our land and water resources to benefit the quality of life of all citizens.

Josh Rafferty said he’s wanted to open his own martial arts school since he was a first-grader. “I started doing martial arts when I was 6 years old,” he said. “It was always a dream of mine to have my own martial arts school and fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.” Rafferty, who grew up on the west side before moving to Harrison, has already appeared on the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s reality television series “The Ultimate Fighter,” and now he’s accomplished the other part of his dream. He and two of his friends, John Moore and Eric Mentrup, recently opened their own martial arts school. Drive Mixed Martial Arts is a 6,000-square-feet training facility inside the River’s Edge Indoor Sports complex in Cleves. “It was satisfying to finally open the school. It was a dream of mine and I’m extremely happy,” Rafferty said. “It’s definitely my passion and my true calling.” He said it took about nine months to put a plan

jitsu, muay thai, boxing and wrestling, and also provides professional and group fitness classes such as zumba, yoga, boxing for fitness and cardio kickboxing, Moore said. He said the school opened three weeks ago and they already have about 50 members. “I love the atmosphere and getting to meet new people everyday,” Moore said. “I’m kind of a people person.” Rafferty, who has trained with several professional mixed martial arts fighters, said the personal attention is what sets their school apart from the others. “I’m real hands-on,” he said. “I work with every student individually each night. It’s important to me that they learn the right techniques.” For details, call 7063748 or visit www.drive mixedmartialarts.com.

Taylor Pride

A long line of Taylor High School students make their way up Harrison Avenue in North Bend during the school’s recent Pride Walk. Taylor students spent several weeks soliciting donations for the PTA to help fund school activities, and they raised more than $5,000. The students earned an early dismissal from school for their hard work, and on the afternoon prior to their early dismissal they showed their Yellowjacket pride by donning spirit wear and walking through the community.

Mercy presents ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Nicole Woelfel said one reason she chose to attend Mother of Mercy High School is because of its drama program. “The theater is the one thing I’ve always wanted to do,” said Woelfel, a Mercy senior who also sings in the school’s vocal ensemble and choir. “I love the anxiety you get when you’re on the stage, and I love performing for a live audience and watching their reactions.” She’ll get her chance to entertain audiences as one of the stars in Mother of Mercy Theater’s upcoming production of “Jesus Christ Superstar.” Woelfel plays a high priest in the musical, which takes the stage at the College of Mount St. Joseph Theatre Friday, Nov. 6; Saturday, Nov. 7 and Sunday, Nov. 8. Mercy drama teacher Lisa Bodollo, who is in her 16th year directing shows for the school’s theater program, said the musical is the first of five productions the

theater program will present this year. She said there are about 70 students in the cast and about 100 in the crew, and the students are in charge of everything from lighting and hair and makeup to set construction and costume design. “We direct them on a college level,” Bodollo said. “I want them to always raise the bar and put on shows that are believable and exciting for the audience. It’s amazing what all these students can do.” She said their production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” will be presented in a style known as Steampunk, a genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came about in the early 1990s. She said the genre mixes themes from the industrial age with a Victorian twist, allowing for a somewhat futuristic style in design, lighting and interpretation in which women can play roles traditionally intended for men. “It opened this entire avenue for us. It’s really interesting and fun,” she said. “I really think it’s going to be

an amazing experience for people.” And not all the male roles are played by females. Mother of Mercy Theater is open to any high school student and there are male students in the production. Elder High School junior Ben Woestman, who plays John the Beloved in the show, said he first performed with Mercy Theater when he was in the fifth grade. His older sisters were involved in the program and he played the role of a little boy in a production of “Mame.” “From that point on I said, ‘I’m going to do Mercy Theater when I’m in high school,’” he said. “I enjoy meeting new people and socializing. Everybody gets really close, and we all love Miss B.” Woestman and Woelfel said they’ve been rehearsing for eight weeks, and although they are a little nervous for opening night they look forward to performing on a college stage. “It’s an excited nervousness,” Woestman said. “It’s going to be really good.”

St. William to host anniversary Mass By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

St. William Church is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and the parish will mark the historic occasion with a special centennial Mass. The Most Rev. Dennis Schnurr, coadjutor archbishop of Cincinnati, will celebrate the festive Mass with the Rev. Andrew Umberg, St. William’s pastor, and other priests who have served at St. William at 11 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 8. “We hope that many people will come to this great celebration of our parish family and our parish memories,” Umberg said.

He said all current and former parishioners and friends of St. William are invited to attend the special Mass. St. William was founded Nov. 1, 1909, the same day a group of parishioners loaded into a car with the church’s first pastor, the Rev. Francis Roth, and drove to Archbishop Henry Moeller’s home in Norwood to request a new parish be established. Umberg said the archbishop granted the request that day, officially marking St. William Church’s founding as Nov. 1, 1909. Since the church was founded in November, he said the centennial liturgy is

one of the main events the parish has scheduled this year to celebrate its anniversary. A reception will follow Mass in Father Reardon Hall below the church. And since the first time St. William parishioners ever met for an official organized meeting was Jan. 31, 1910, he said the second main event celebrating the anniversary will be the Centennial Banquet at the Farm in Delhi Township on Jan. 30, 2010. He said the banquet will be for adults only. “We have scheduled the big events to closely coincide with the important dates associated with the

founding of St. William,” he said. “There is something planned for every month,” he said. St. William’s annual parish festival in August was dubbed the Centennial Festival; the Centennial Oktoberfest celebration took place in September; and a big prayer event featuring 40 hours of devotion was held in October. St. William will sell commemorative gifts such as golf visors and beer mugs at the upcoming events, as well as special ornaments commemorating the centennial around Christmas, Umberg said. The parish’s capital cam-

Umberg said Price Hill residents are welcome to join St. William parishioners

at all the festivities celebrating the church’s 100th anniversary. “We think St. William is a very important institution to Price Hill,” he said, “to Catholics and non-Catholics alike.”

Representatives from the U.S. Army presented James with a game jersey during a press conference at the school Oct. 27. “We’re very proud of Matt, of the work he’s done to gain this recognition,” head coach Steve Specht (’86) said. “One of the things we try to teach our students, our players, is they’re going to face adversity and have to lean on one another in tough times. The Army – all our military branches – live that motto every day to protect this country. We’re honored they see some of that in Matt.” James, who stands 6-foot8, 290 pounds, is one of the most sought-after offensive line recruits in the country.

St. X’s ‘Journey’ caps with titles By Tony Meale

tmeale@communitypress.com

When you see a football team jumping up and down after a game and serenading each other with “Don’t Stop Believing,” it’s safe to assume that team just did something big. Real big. With a 13-10 win over previously unbeaten Moeller at Nippert Stadium on Halloween night, St. Xavier (8-2, 3-0) won the GCL-South title and the city championship. “You couldn’t have written a better script for a high school football game,” head coach Steve Specht said. “Both teams played hard on both sides of the ball. We just happened to make one more play at the end.” That play was a Patrick Guetle interception with 1:42 left in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. “We told each other the game’s not over until we see three zeros (on the scoreboard),” junior linebacker Steven Daniels said of the Bombers’ final defensive stop. “We work hard as a team on every play and just fly around on defense.” St. X, which went winless in the GCL last season and missed the playoffs after finishing 4-6, captured its fifth league title in six years. Why? They didn’t stop believing. “Let’s be honest: No one expected these kids to do much this year,” Specht said. “Last year our kids never quit; the ball just didn’t bounce their way. Our seniors came back this year wanting to prove something. I couldn’t be prouder.” St. X trailed Moeller 3-0 in the first quarter but tied the game on a 26-yard field goal by senior Robert Leonard. The Bombers took the lead for good on an 8yard pass from quarterback

St. Xavier junior linebacker Steven Daniels pursues Moeller senior quarterback Andrew Hendrix.

Luke Massa to fellow senior Jeff Kraemer with 9:03 left in the second quarter, and another 26-yarder from Leonard gave St. X a 10point lead just before halftime. It was a lead they wouldn’t relinquish, as the Bombers stymied a Moeller offense that entered the game averaging 41 points per contest. St. X played its typical keep-away brand of football, as sophomore running back Conor Hundley rushed 23 times for 97 yards. “That’s how we play,” Specht said. “We knew we couldn’t get into a shootout with Moeller.” With the win, St. Xavier rebounded from a tough loss for the second time this season. The Bombers lost 12-7 at Highlands in Week Five only to defeat Elder 17-7 in their next game. Last week, the Bombers fell 30-21 against St. Ignatius in a game in which they had

four turnovers but trailed by just two points with two minutes remaining. “Highlands and St. Ignatius are great teams,” Specht said. “We didn’t want to drop two in a row going into the playoffs.” St. X will be seeded No. 1 in Region 4. The Bombers host No. 8 Centerville (9-1) Saturday, Nov. 7. If victorious, the Bombers’ secondround opponent could be Elder, which opens against Dayton Huber Heights Wayne. The Panthers advanced to the state title game in 2008. But at this point, all that matters is Centerville. “Wipe the slate clean,” Specht said. “Everybody is 0-0 right now.”

Elder 42, Western Hills 0

Elder senior quarterback Mark Miller threw for 139 yards and two touchdowns to give him a record-setting 46 for his career. Junior running back Ben Coffaro scored Elder’s first three touchdowns, including an 84-yard kickoff return to open the game. He also plowed in from a yard

out and had a 31-yard touchdown reception. Senior Adam Brown carried 10 times for 86 yards and two scores, while Selby Chidemo caught two passes for 61 yards and a touchdown, including a 53-yard bomb. Elder held West High to 129 yards of total offense, including just 21 threw the air. The Panthers finish the regular season 7-2 (1-2) and third in the GCL. They are seeded fourth in the Harbin Ratings and host fifth-ranked Huber Heights Wayne in the first round of the playoffs.

Colerain 24, Oak Hills 7

The Highlanders lost its sixth-consecutive game in week 10 while dropping to 3-7 as Oak Hills fell to Colerain, 24-7. Oak Hills started the season at 3-1 including a 1-0 record in the Greater Miami Conference before the Highlanders began its six-game losing streak. Oak Hills finished at 1-6 in GMC play. Colerain improved to 8-2 with the win including a 7-0 record in GMC play. Lakota West

(9-1, 7-0) finished as cochampions in the GMC. In week 10, Colerain outgained the Highlanders by a 284-144 yard margin. The Cardinals had 19 first downs compared to eight first downs for Oak Hills. Thomas Konkoly and Steve Gebing each carried the ball 11 times for Oak Hills. Gebbing rushed for 46 yards and scored the Highlanders’ only points against Colerain. Gebbing was also 2-of-13 passing for 46 yards with an interception. Konkoly rushed for 35 yards. Traylon Durham led Colerain with 153 yards and a touchdown on 29 carries. Colerain rushed for 270 yards in week 10.

Finneytown 34, Taylor 6

The Yellow Jackets fell to a team seeking its first win of the season. Senior running back Cameron Youngblood had a 30-yard touchdown run for Taylor but it wasn’t enough. After starting the year 32, Taylor ended with a fivegame losing streak to finish 3-7 (1-6).

La Salle 42, Walsh Jesuit 28

The Lancers snapped its four-game losing streak with a win over Walsh Jesuit, 42-28, in week 10. The Lancers started the season at 4-1 before sliding to 5-5 by the end of the 2009 campaign. In week 10, the Lancers’ Zach Abbatiello rushed for 118 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries. Abbatiello also hauled in a touchdown reception with 94 yards on six catches. La Salle quarteback Andrew Kummer was 13of-24 passing for 181 yards and one touchdown against Walsh Jesuit.

Seton was eliminated by Mason 25-27, 25-21, 2624, 22-25, 15-13. “Beating St. Ursula for the sectional title after losing to them twice in the season was definitely a highlight for us,” said first-year head coach Sara Redman. “Another highlight was

Redman said the team played with a lot of heart in its postseason matches and Redman said she told the FILE PHOTO girls if they took car of their Emily Averbeck fields ball against side of the court, they would Mercy. Averbeck has been a standout win. for Seton in 2009. The team has been led by playing Ursuline, one of the Emily Averbeck, among top-ranked teams in the other players. “She hustles after every country, to four games. There are only two teams ball and throws her body across the floor to keep the this season to do that.” Redman said she tried to ball alive,” Redman said. help the team regain its con- “Our middles, Andrea Book, fidence and faith in each Sarah Ritter and Carly Graother during her first year as man are really pushing

themselves to block every ball too.” Redman also praised senior outside hitter Elle Schwarz, saying she puts the ball away when the team needs a kill. Redman said the team’s biggest area of growth has been blocking. “We really improved over the season and we put the right girls in position to block every ball,” she said. The team also benefits, when it comes to the postseason, from playing in the GGCL, one of the top high school volleyball conferences. “Oh my goodness, the GGCL is the powerhouse of the state,” Redman said. “I loved playing in the GGCL and love coaching in the

GGCL. The conference has such great traditions and no one can argue there’s a better conference.” Seton finished with a record of 9-15 but Redman said she told her players at the start of the season that the record wasn’t what was most important. “Your record doesn’t show how a team has grown,” she said. “Our girls have really grown as volleyball players and play to have fun and have learned to trust themselves and their teammates. How the team plays in the postseason is all that matters.” And the Saints proved that by winning a sectional title and by nearly upsetting Mason to advance further in the Division I tournament.

Reinhold hails from Montgomery. “All year long we have been a very well balanced team,” Hannahan said. “Some teams have a big drop after the second or third girl but we just don’t have that. “On any given day, any of these girls can excel and score very well. It’s nice from a coaches’ perspective to have that kind of depth,” Hannahan added. At second-round districts Oct. 14, Saint Ursula finished in second place at 336 strokes while advancing to state. Lakota West won the Division I district title at 322. Saint Ursula was paced at districts by an 81 from Prokop, an 83 from Wooliver, an 84 from Carroll and an 88 from Meiners. Prokop took seventh place as an individual at districts with Wooliver taking 13th place and Carroll taking 15th place. “The conditions were rough that day and they still performed well. I was very happy,” Hannahan said. The week prior at sectionals Oct. 7, the Bulldogs won a Division I sectional title with its first-place team finish at 322 strokes. Ursuline took second place at 337 strokes. At sectionals it was Carroll leading the way with a second-place finish at 74 strokes. Reinhold finished sectionals with a 78 followed by Wooliver at 84, Prokop at 86 and Meiners at 87. “No matter what happens, it’s an honor to be one of the premiere programs in the state,” Hannahan said while working through a practice round with the Bulldogs Oct. 22.

When I was youngster, one of the things that I loved was the access to public play yards to expel childhood energy. So, when I bought a house in the backyard of Cheviot Elementary School, I thought it would be great when I had children of my own. Not the case. The new school yard is delineated by a metal chain link fence and “no trespassing” signs. My 3year-old asks why she is not able to play on that “pretty swingset.” I informed her that it is not ours. Upon uttering those words to my firstborn, it dawned on me: It is partly ours. My tax dollars helped build this impounded public playground. It seems that in an era of unprecedented obesity and sedentary lifestyles, impounding a public playground would perpetuate habits that are anything but progressive. Furthermore, these fences do not keep the teens/tweens out, they keep the honest law-abiding citizens of Cheviot and their small children out. And for that I want to thank you. I am now granted a

Pinpointing Jackson’s home Recently I wrote a series of articles on the early history of Green Township. The series was based on a collection of letters housed at Cincinnati Historical Society. They were written by Isaac Jackson to his family in New York and paint a good picture of life in the wilderness in 1813. Jackson purchased three quarter sections of land in section 13 and 14 in Green Township from the Findlay, Burnet, and Harrison partnership. The farm was on the border of Delhi Township. I wasn’t sure where the land was located. I consulted Paul Ruffling of the Green Township Historical Association. He said they lived around Sidney Road and Sidney Road could have been named for Isaac Jackson’s son, Sidney who had a large nursery there. After the articles ran I received an e-mail from a resident of Green Township that eventually placed the land to its exact location. Lois Schuppig remembered seeing the name Jackson on some old grave stones near her childhood home, back in the 1940s and 1950s. She and her brother played on Dr. Charles Murray’s farm across from Rosebud Lane. Rosebud Lane is off Muddy Creek Road across from Our Lady of Lourdes Church.

She remembered seeing a partially burned barn, a white frame house, numerous fruit trees and blackberry bushes. She wondered if this Betty Kamuf was the Jackson Community in my article. I sent her e-mail to Press guest Paul Ruffling, and columnist he did some research. What he found cleared up everything. Isaac oldest son, Thomas owned the Murray farm in 1869. It was part of his 80-acre inheritance from his father. Paul also found a 1922 Sanborn map. It placed the farm, along with the Jackson Graveyard, behind the current-day Our Lady of Lourdes Church. The farm was on Bridgetown Road which was changed to Glenway Avenue. His research never stopped there. He wondered what happened to the graves, and on a hunch checked the Web site at Spring Grove Cemetery. Sure enough there they were Jacksons there in two different places, section 74 lot 36 and section 43 lot 49.

“I visited Spring Grove and found the two sections – there is one large marker in each – one for SS Jackson and one for Thomas Jackson. Isaac is in Thomas’ section 74. Most people are not marked at all. Maybe when they moved the bodies to Spring Grove in 1867 they left the old headstones behind.” The Spring Grove records show that four of Thomas (Sidney’s brother) Jackson’s children died before the age of 7 – Mary age 4 in 1829, Wharton age 3 of cholera in 1834, Louisa age 6 of cholera in 1834, and Frederick age 6 months of lung inflammation in 1837. Also four of Sidney Jackson’s children died early – Elizabeth age 15 of scarlet fever in 1843, Isaac age 22, and Reeve age 18 both drowned in the Miami River in 1858, and John age 27 died of wounds received at the battle of Vicksburg in the Civil War in 1863. The grave stones left behind must have been what Lois Schuppig and her brother saw when they were children playing on Murray’s farm. Betty Kamuf is a winner of Griffin Yeatman Award for Historical Preservation. She lives in Sayler Park. You can reach her at sp.column@fuse.net.

Teamwork led to Paff rescue What many may not realize about Pontius Road’s Paul Paff’s accident and rescue on Sept. 29 is the incredible job so many rescuers did to bring about the happy ending. The first responders from the Delhi Township Fire Department thought and worked swiftly and efficiently to get Paff the assistance needed as quickly as possible. The Delhi Township Police Department set up an area for the multitude of media vehicles and personnel to perform their duties without interfering with the rescue efforts, as well as a checkpoint to limit unnecessary traffic. Special considerations that night included the high school soccer game and youth football practice in progress at St. Simon. These events limited access to otherwise available parking and open areas for the medical helicopter and other equipment need-

ed.

During a very short time, rescuers from all over the county arrived as part of the Hamilton County Urban Search and ResKelly Oakes cue team, which Community was the supportPress guest ing agency operunder the columnist ating Delhi Fire D e p a r t m e n t ’s command. Ninety percent of the equipment used belongs to Delhi. USAR provided additional manpower and a few pieces of equipment Delhi does not have. Since much of our emergency staff and equipment were involved in the rescue, Miami Township covered the first out runs from Delhi Station 33. This insured coverage for the rest of our com-

munity, so that at no time were our residents’ needs unattended. The communication between various agencies was seamless, and the teamwork and mutual respect was a real pleasure to witness. As a community, we can all rest assured that no matter what our emergency needs may be, regardless of how unusual they may seem, that our Delhi emergency personnel are very well trained professionals. They love what they do and have spent countless hours behind the scenes developing relationships throughout the area so that our needs can always be met quickly and thoroughly. Thank you to the multitude of people, both on duty and off that night, who make this level of service and confidence possible for our community. Kelly Oakes is a resident of Delhi Township.

Covedale: John Prout’s legacy At the intersection of Cleves Warsaw Pike, Guerley Road and Glenway Avenue is a building that is a west-side landmark. The inscription at the top, “Prout’s Corner,” is a tribute not only to the man, John D. Prout, but to an entire community. For years the name “Prout’s Corner” was a household word used to describe the entire Covedale business district. As a civic leader, John Prout gave us more than a pretty building. There is probably no one individual who has more influenced our west-side way of living. In 1916 he became the first elected president of the Price Hill Civic Club. And in 1917 he petitioned the city in writing for improvements, expressing in no uncertain terms his displeasure in how Price Hill was being represented. He demanded equal recognition for Price Hill, “similar to that accorded to other suburbs.” In 1929, in order to increase its tax base, Cincinnati sought to annex the developing Covedale area. However, there was a pervasive feeling that the tax revenue

generated by previous westside annexations was being distributed disproportionately to the east side. John Prout was a visionary. Jim Grawe At the beginning Community of the Great Press guest D e p r e s s i o n , collectively columnist when people lacked confidence in the future, he had the courage to be optimistic and embrace change. In response to the annexation program, he inspired a group of his neighbors with a bold and creative vision: The privilege of self-government by incorporating Covedale as an independent village. Sadly, the movement failed, in part because of the thinking of the day. Economic hardship caused people to make fear-based decisions and to wish for big government to provide for them. But John Prout was not a conformist. Instead, his thinking aligned with the words of Walter Lippman,

“Where all people think alike, few people think at all.” In many ways our-west side values and attitudes embody John Prout’s spirit. Our self-sufficient, independent nature and our underdog status, from which has evolved a good work ethic and a need to band together, are rooted in his life’s story. In a time of uncertainty John Prout dared to dream. And in doing so he inspired the Covedale community to believe in itself. But most of all, his vision for the village of Covedale re-defined and firmly established the Covedale identity. John Prout’s legacy is the name Covedale – for if it were not for him the name would have likely faded from our collective memory. Today, the name Covedale symbolizes courage and the ability to think creatively. Today, the name Covedale is John Prout’s gift to us all – a reminder that if we also dare to dream we too can inspire others to face the future with confidence. Jim Grawe is the co-founder of the Covedale Neighborhood Association.

Showing Scottie spirit Students, faculty and staff showed their school spirit during homecoming at Oak Hills High School. The celebration included decorating Scottie dog cutouts and then putting them on display along Ebenezer Road in the school’s Puttin’ on the Dog project. A Scottie dog was the first mascot of the high school, which is celebrating it 50th anniversary this year.

KURT BACKSCHEIDER/STAFF

The Spanish Club at Oak Hills High School went to a lot of trouble to make their Scottie dog look like a piñata.

KURT BACKSCHEIDER/STAFF

The Oak Hills High School office staff decorated their Scottie dog to resemble a West Highland terrier named Duncan, who was the high school’s original mascot.

The cafeteria staff at Oak Hills made sure to include an apron and chef’s hat on the Scottie dog they decorated for the Puttin’ on the Dog project.

The longing that never goes away have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are ever restless until they rest in you.” Admit it or not, there is a spiritual component of our nature. It is a longing for the transcendent, for God. For a creature, total fulfillment will only be found permanently with its Creator. Strange, but many of us fear our spiritual longing. Why fear it? One reason is because we think it will cost us too much of our humanness and the enjoyment of this life. Paradoxically, it will increase it. We fear, as Francis Thompson feared as he ran from God, “Lest having thee, I might have naught else besides.” We also fear publicly admitting our need for God because of the secular implications that say only the mentally deficient believe in a God. In response to this fear of spirituality, James W. Jones, professor of religion at Rutgers University, says, “The struggle to find meaning by

connecting with a universal, cosmic, moral and sacred reality represents not a failure of nerve, the onset of premature senility, or a lapse into neurosis, but is rather a natural part of the unhindered development process. The denial of this quest for the transcendent debilitates and impoverishes our life.” Got that? This doctor of psychology at a prestigious university is telling us it’s quite normal to realize you long for God. You’re not neurotic or senile for doing so, you’re not weird; in fact you’re being true to your nature. It makes your life worse by not doing so. Spirituality is not optional. Certainly we need material possessions to live, and enjoyment to thrive, but we need a spiritual dimension to live fully. It enables us to find purpose and meaning and connects us our source and destiny. It fills out our picture. The fact that longing constantly nips at our heels proves it’s not optional. It’s crucial for general health. “Among all my patients

in the second half of life, that is to say over 35, there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life,” wrote Carl Jung. Our consumer society tries to contradict that Jungian idea. It says our longing is exclusively for this world and this world can completely satisfy. Ridiculous! A society that

tells its people they should live a certain way, if that way is fundamentally in opposition to what people are by nature, produces what Nietzsche termed the “sick animal.” There is a longing down deep where the sparks of our humanity smolder. Though we enjoy this wonderful world, our longing wants to call us ever onward and up where we belong.

The experience of longing is familiar to everyone. Throughout a lifetime we long for myriads of things – a special toy, a friend, popularity, a lover, more money, better sex, a promotion, health and so it goes. Yet no matter what we acquire or achieve the ache of longing is never completely erased. Eventually there’s something or someone else we think we need in order to be happy. Longing is a sign of our incompleteness. We never reach a prolonged time when we hold something in our hands and say, “This is all I ever wanted and all I will ever need.” One of last century’s most prominent Protestant theologians, Jurgen Moltmann, wrote: “Once awakened by specific promises that stretch further than any fulfillment … once we have caught in them a whiff of the future, we remain restless and urgent, seeking and searching beyond all experiences of fulfillment …” St. Augustine told us the same centuries ago, “You

The Mercy Circle of Caring ®

We’re building a future with you in mind. Dear Community Member, Thank you for your support! We have received final approval for re-zoning the planned site for the new Mercy Hospital in Green Township and are moving now into the development phase. We have heard from many of you over the past several months and your input has helped update and enhance our plans for the new hospital campus, which will be located on North Bend Road, near I-74. We are also grateful to the government and community leaders who have voiced strong support for our vision and plans. Our re-zoning proposal received unanimous approval from every government agency that reviewed the request. Below are the key aspects of the project. • The new hospital will be state-of-the-art and incorporate the latest advancements in patient care and comfort, offer leading physicians, and provide inpatient and outpatient services that will allow residents to stay close to home for high-quality healthcare. Planned services include comprehensive cancer, heart and orthopaedic programs. • The hospital campus will include buffers for nearby homes and St. Ignatius, as well as walking trails that connect to the new trail system being planned for the township’s parks. • We will address the impact on traffic flow by expanding North Bend Road and creating multiple lanes for the hospital entrance. While work continues on the new hospital, we will continue to grow our services and provide high-quality care over the coming years at Mercy Hospital Mt. Airy and Mercy Hospital Western Hills. Those services and our commitment to quality, patient safety, and compassionate care will be transitioned to the new hospital when it’s complete. We are also committed to continuing to provide outpatient services on the West Side, after the new hospital opens. We are excited about the prospect of continuing our Mission to serve the healthcare needs of the community and provide the best possible care to the residents of Green Township, the West Side and western Hamilton County. We thank you for your suggestions to date and invite your continued input. Please submit your questions and comments online at www.mercywest.com. Sincerely,

Paul C. Hiltz President & CEO Mercy Hospital Mt. Airy

Chilly weather outside means chili inside Plus, Rita’s grandson ‘fishes’ for birthday dinner

I had to laugh when grandson Jack requested tilapia from Keegan’s Seafood for his fourth birthday’s dinner. It’s a small shop in Mount Washington owned by Tom Keegan. K e e Rita gan’s a Heikenfeld w a l k i n g encyclopeRita’s kitchen dia for seafood and loves showing the kids all the different varieties to make them more aware about eating healthy. The reason I laughed is when we were growing up, the only seafood we ate was frozen whiting, fried, and fresh bass caught by my Mom and brother, Charlie. I didn’t even know what

tilapia was until I was in my 30s. We need to support independent folks like Tom. So if you have a favorite independent deli/grocer, etc. let me know and I’ll feature them and a signature recipe in an upcoming column. I want to hear from readers across the board: north, south, east and west!

Herb crusted halibut

Any nice white fish will do. When I teach seafood classes, this is a student favorite. Four servings halibut, skinless, 6 to 8 oz. each 1 ⁄2 cup approx. Dijon mustard Salt and pepper 1 ⁄2 cup basil, finely chopped 1 ⁄4 cup each: cilantro, mint, parsley, chives and dill, finely chopped Butter Pat fish dry. Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper and lightly brush both sides with mustard. Combine herbs and place in shallow dish. Press both sides of fish into herb mix-

ture, coating evenly. In a nonstick pan, melt about 2 tablespoons butter and turn heat to medium. Add fish. Cook several minutes on each side, until done. Tips from Rita’s kitchen: Don’t overcook fish. When it flakes easily, it’s done. Seafood 101: Watch my cable TV show with Tom on Union Township TV (Warner 8 and 15) to learn all you need to know about seafood.

Melissa’s Schaiper’s easy chicken chili

There’s a good amount of interest in the chicken chili Good Samaritan serves in their cafeteria. Friend, great cook and Good Sam’s cath lab queen (my given title) Kay Hitzler found out it’s a purchased product.

Kay’s group in the catheter lab held a tailgating lunch and Melissa Schaiper, a colleague of Kay’s, brought a crockpot chicken chili that was a huge hit. Kay said Melissa’s chili is a bit spicier than Good Sam’s. So I would say use a mild salsa.

communitypress.com and at www.abouteating.com

Rita’s lower fat Fiddle Faddle clone

I developed this for the book “Sports Nutrition for Idiots.” Flaxseed is optional and the store-bought version doesn’t contain this. 4 cups popped corn 1 tablespoon flaxseed 1 cup caramel ice cream topping, heated in microwave

Spray crockpot. Add:

1 pound chicken breast 4 cups canned Great Northern beans 12 oz. salsa 1 teaspoon each: cumin and garlic Cook six hours on low. An hour before serving, stir in 4 ounces of pepper jack cheese. Serve with 4 more ounces of cheese. Tips from Rita’s kitchen: If you want, stir in more cumin and garlic after six hours. More chili recipes: In my online column at www.

Mix popcorn and flax. Pour topping over, stirring to coat as well as you can. Pour onto sprayed cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 250degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Makes 4 cups.

Rooting out recipes

Fern’s chili. For Pam Timme. “It was in the Enquirer long ago and I’ve lost it.” I’m wondering if it’s Fern Storer’s recipe. She was the Post food editor for years and a wonderful cook. Red Lobster’s sun-

dried tomato salad dressing. For Dwight. He had no luck calling the company. (They don’t serve it anymore). He also went online, researched recipe books, etc. Mio’s creamy garlic dressing. Spoke with Chris Forbes, owner of the Milford Mio’s. “Can’t divulge it. There’s garlic, sour cream, milk, pepper and sugar in it.” When I asked if there was any vinegar, lemon juice, etc., he said no. If anyone has a creamy garlic recipe similar, please share. Bravo’s strawberry lasagna for Betty Hawley. I’m giving up on this Augusta, Ky., restaurant’s dessert. I’ve made several calls to the owner, who at first thought she might share, but she hasn’t returned my calls.

Library provides services to job seekers The last few years have been a journey for David Baker of Pleasant Run. After he was injured on the job, he went through a time when he was unable to work. “I’ve been very active most of my life and always worked in very physical jobs,” he explained. “I quickly learned I had to reinvent myself.” Right about the time he was going through the bulk of this major transition in his life, the Main Library was going through a transition of its own to become the Main Library for the 21st Century. Under this new plan, the TechCenter was formed to offer customers a broad spectrum of technological applications including nearly 100 computers loaded

Just to be able to access the different job sites in a nice environment made a difference … it was the right thing at PROVIDED the right time.” David Baker with one of the keys to his success, his Library card.

recycling plan

The Hamilton County Solid Waste Management District is beginning the process of updating its Solid Waste Management Plan. The purpose of the plan is to outline how the county is to reach state mandated recycling goals and to ensure adequate disposal capacity. Ohio’s recycling goals include a 25 percent recycling rate for the residential/commercial sector and a 66 percent recycling rate for the industrial sector. During the course of this process, all of the district’s programs will be evaluated. A key component of this process is public input. Residents, businesses, teachers, community leaders and others interested in providing input during this process are encouraged to complete a brief survey found at www.hamiltoncountyrecycles.org.

The current plan contains: • The Household Hazardous Waste program – which, last year, collected over 585 tons of hazardous chemicals from county residents. • Yardwaste collection – sites which accept yard debris, free of charge, from over 30,000 residents each year. • Computer collection – events which, in 2008, kept over 61 tons of used computer equipment out of area landfills. Grant programs which provide over $1 million to local communities to help finance curbside and dropoff recycling programs. For more information about the Hamilton County Solid Waste Management District, or the Solid Waste Management Plan, go to visit www.hamiltoncounty recycles.org.

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.
