Church giving away clothes

By Kurt Backscheider

kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Bob Waugh said during this difficult economy the members of Western Hills Church of Christ want to provide some good news to the people of the community who are struggling financially. The church, 5064 Sidney Road in Covedale, is once again opening its doors and the members of the congregation are sharing their blessings with those in need. Waugh, the associate minister at the church, said they are offering a free clothing giveaway from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Nov. 21. “There are so many people out of work who need food, who need clothes, who need everything,” he said. “The church is simply thankful that even in these tough times we have something to share with our neighbors.” Waugh said church members organized a free clothing giveaway in December 2007 as a way to reach out to the needs of the community, and the event was such a success they decided to do it again this year. “We gave away so many clothes,” he said. “And when the giveaway was finished that day we had so many items left over that we were able to send more than two tons of clothes overseas to Christian missions in Kosovo.” He said church members have been donating clothing for more than a month, and the basement is filled with many racks and stacks of quality clothing in good condition available for men, women and children in all sizes. He said church members of all ages have spent hours sorting and folding the clothes to get them ready for the giveaway, and per-

Western Hills Church of Christ members Ruth Gosser, left, of Covedale, and Michelle Potavin, of Delhi Township, sort through and organize the stacks of donated clothing the church received for its free clothing giveaway. The church will give away free clothes from 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Nov. 21. sonal shopping assistants will be on hand the day of the event to help customers find specific sizes and styles easily. Dan Lang, senior pastor at the church, said, “We just want people to know that the Lord loves them, so we are emptying our closets and sharing what we have with

neighbors who might be out of work or struggling financially right now.” He said the congregation believes loving your neighbors as yourself is a commandment from Christ. “This is just one way to follow that commandment,” Lang said.

Waugh said the church realizes the needs may likely be greater and more widespread than two years ago due to the challenging economy. “The church family hopes to help more people than it did before and to spread the love of God while they do it,” he said.

Green trustees right back to work By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

With the election now behind them, Green Township Trustees Tracy Winkler and David Linnenberg said they are eager to continue working to serve township residents. Both incumbent trustees retained their jobs in the election Tuesday, Nov. 3. According to unofficial results from the Hamilton County Board of Trustees, Winkler was the highest vote getter with 15,008 votes and Linnenberg placed second with 11,049 votes. Challenger Tom Pfahler received 4,952 votes. Winkler, who was re-elected to her second four-year term, said she will continue the work she’s started and keep addressing concerns brought forth by residents.

She said one of her main priorities is making sure some of the older neighborhoods in Green Township do not decline. “Stopping the Winkler decline of the older properties in the township is one of the biggest concerns I hear,” she said. “We need to continue to be proactive with our property maintenance code.” Winkler said looking for ways to improve the parks and adding sidewalks and other pedestrian connections between neighborhoods is another way to be proactive in maintaining a nice community. She said working with developers and residents to ensure every

new development project is high quality and a benefit to all the residents of the township will be a goal of hers as well. She said new Linnenberg quality developments will add to the aesthetics of the township and help raise property values. Linnenberg, who was appointed to the board in June 2008, said he was very pleased to be elected to his first four-year term. He said his main priority for the next four years is to make sure Green Township is an attractive community for young families. He said the township should work to open new parks, build new sidewalks and bike paths and wel-

come nice new restaurants and shops in order to stop the loss of families to West Chester and Mason. “My big goal is to work hard to develop nice parks and bring in those quality restaurants and shops in a cost effective way to the township,” he said. “We don’t want just anything to build in Green Township. We have to look for the quality developments.” He and Winkler both said the board and administration must also continue to closely watch the budget, and provide residents the services they need at a reasonable cost. Linnenberg said township residents enjoy some of the lowest taxes in the region, and the board will work to keep offering the best services for the best price.

It is the mission of the Greater Cincinnati Performing Arts Society to act as a catalyst to bring high quality entertainment to the Greater Cincinnati area and to support values based education. Inspiration: Over the last five years, St. Catharine of Siena school has dropped from an enrollment of over 400 students to 230 today. Much of this has had to do with the issues within the city of Cincinnati leading to a mass exodus to the suburbs. In addition, family demographics have changed significantly. career in the 1970s, it only took three gigs for her to realize that playing bass was what she was meant to do. Information and tickets

Currently, 65 percent of the families attending St. Catharine have only one child and competition among schools has increased. St. Catharine is not alone. Of the 18 elementary schools in the St. Lawrence Deanery, 11 have 300 students or less. The idea is to create an additional revenue stream using a series of concerts with the proceeds going to St. Catharine and other area parochial schools.

career has taken some surprising twists and turns that have led her to work with many of the leading artists in contemporary music. Her ability to complement a song or step out with a tasteful, imaginative, and exciting solo has made her one of the most in-demand musicians on the American roots music scene. Foley is considered to be one of the finest blues/roots artists working today. At 16, she embarked on her professional career as a bandleader, lead guitar player and vocalist. For the past 20 years she has made her mark as a notable Canadian songwriter, producer and prolific recording artist. In 2000, her home country honored her with her first Juno Award. Living in Austin renewed Wonderland’s focus on her multiple talents, underlining vocals with fine guitar work, trumpet, and piano, as well as the ability to whistle on key. A series of discs began with Alcohol & Salvation in 2003. Her music played in television series such as “Time of Your Life” and “Homicide.” Brown is a widely recognized and award winning bassist in the international blues and roots music scene living in Austin.

Miami Township trustees Paul Beck and Joe Sykes said they felt the support of the community in their bid for reelection this fall. Beck, a trustee for 28 years, and Sykes, for 24 years, agreed that the first priority will be completion of the new fire station/community center on Shady Lane. The project, on about 7.5 acres, will also include a new ball field and a walking trail around the perimeter. The complex will cost about $5 million, and will be paid for using Tax Increment Finance money. Miami Township adopted

Addyston voters approved a tax levy renewal that continues bringing Miami Township fire protection and emergency medical services to Addyston. The issue passed with 158 or about 72 percent of voters saying yes. There were 61 no votes, which was about 28 percent . Addyston Clerk Margaret Ann Dozier said the village contracts with Miami Township for fire and emergency medical services. The 2-mill levy generates an estimated $76,698 annually and will cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $51.88 according to the Hamilton County Auditor's Office.

Miami Township voters sent a strong message of support for fire and police services, replacing two levies by wide margins. Voters passed the police levy with 2,981 or 73 percent in favor and 1,101 or 27 percent against the issue. The fire and EMS levy passed with 2,195 or about 78 percent in favor and 907 or about 22 percent opposed. Ohio law rolls back the millage collected so levies generate the same amount of money, eliminating inflationary growth. The rolled back rate is called the effec-

tive millage. The replacement levies reset the base amount for the effective millage, causing an increase in cost to residents and generating more money for the township’s police service and fire departments. Miami Township has its own fire department and contracts with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office for patrol service. The 1.60-mill police levy originally passed in 1990 that will now generate $546,812 and cost the owner of a $100,000 home $47.49 annually. The township’s 3.29-mill levy for fire, emergency medical and paramedic services also originally

passed in 1990. It will now raise $1,055,504 and cost the owner of a $100,000 home $97.66 annually. “I appreciate the support of the community for our police and fire services,” Beck said. “We could not continue to supplement these services from the general fund without hurting the other service areas, such as street repair.” Trustee Joe Sykes agreed. “I appreciate the voters gave us the money and the tools to keep improving the township,” he said. “I was not surprised they passed, and I appreciated that they passed by such big margins.”

Familiar faces elected to Oak Hills board By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Two former district educators will join the Oak Hills School District Board of Education in January, and one incumbent board member will return. Jeannie Schoonover and Ritsa Tassopoulos, both of whom were teachers in the district, were elected to the school board Tuesday, Nov. 3. Incumbent school board member Rick Ahlers was reelected to another four-year term, while school board member Jack Pollock came up short in his bid for reelection. Board member Greg Felix did not seek reelection. According to unofficial results from the Hamilton County Board of Elections,

Ahlers Schoonover Schoonover received the most votes with 11,166; Ahlers came in second with 10,242 votes and Tassopoulos received 8,802 votes to win the third open seat on the board. Pollock received 8,488 votes. Ahlers said he is excited to get back to work for the district. He said he wants to work to continue the district’s Excellent with Distinction rating on the state report card and offering students a variety of academic programs, whether it’s more

Tassopoulos Pollock Advanced Placement courses or the dual-credit program the district offers through its partnership with the University of Cincinnati. Ahlers said the board must pay attention to state politics because the amount of state funding and number of state mandates could have an effect on Oak Hills, such as when all-day kindergarten has to be implemented. “When we know what the state is doing then we can get back to working on some of the main projects

we’ve been working on in the district,” he said. Schoonover said she was surprised to receive the most votes, and the results were overwhelming and heartwarming. “It was very gratifying to see all our hard work come to fruition,” she said. She said now she can focus on doing her homework and getting up to speed on the finances of the district so she is prepared for joining the board in January. Increasing community involvement at board meetings and working directly with district residents are among the goals Schoonover said she wants to work on as a board member, as well as being proactive in developing long-term plans for the district and examining the curriculum.

Cheviot council race is tied, for now By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

Sunderhaus Baker hard campaign and so did I. It is what it is.” Sally Krisel, director of elections for the Hamilton County Board of Elections, said the results of the Tuesday, Nov. 3, election are not official until they are certified. She said the board of elections has 21 days to certify the results, putting the

deadline for officially certifying the results at Nov. 24. She said the race between Sunderhaus and Baker may not end in a tie because there are still several provisional ballots and absentee ballots that need to be counted. If there is a tie after the provisional ballots and absentee ballots are tabulated, there would be an automatic recount. “Unfortunately, these guys will have to sit on pins and needles for 21 days,” Krisel said. Baker said watching the returns come in certainly was an interesting experience.

“It was a wild election night that’s for sure,” he said. “It does, however, reiterate the importance of every single vote.” Sunderhaus said there was a race for a ward seat on Cheviot City Council that ended in a tie 10 or 15 years ago. After all the provisional ballots and absentee ballots were tabulated and a recount conducted in that race, it still ended in a tie and the winner was determined by a coin flip, he said. “Apparently this isn’t new to Cheviot politics,” he said.

Council president, treasurer keep jobs By Kurt Backscheider kbackscheider@communitypress.com

The Republican candidates who ran for the four ward seats on Cheviot City Council fared well Tuesday, Nov. 3, and so did the Republicans running in the president of council and treasurer races. Incumbent President of Council Deborah McKinney, a Republican, was re-elected to a four-year term after defeating Democratic challenger Gregory Hayes. According to unofficial results from the Hamilton County Board of Elections, McKinney received 1,352 votes to Hayes’ 827, which is about a 62 percent to 38 percent margin. McKinney said she is grateful Cheviot voters chose to keep her in office, and she thanked her friends, family and supporters who helped her throughout the campaign.

ing tax dollars wisely is a priority, as well as making sure the money spent goes toward quality in education for the students, 21st century learning and maintaining the district’s Excellent with Distinction designation. “The students need to be provided with the best education possible,” she said. Pollock, who has been a board member since June 2001, said he hasn’t considered whether he will run for school board again in the future, but looks forward to helping with the transition of the new board members. “I’m going to make sure I do what I can to get the new board members acclimated so they can get off to a running start, just as previous board members did for me when I first joined the board,” he said.

Republicans may sweep Cheviot council

Voter Verification

Residents of Ward 3 in Cheviot will have to wait until Nov. 24 before they know who will be their representative on city council. According to unofficial results from the Hamilton County Board of Elections, incumbent Ward 3 Councilman James Sunderhaus Jr. and challenger Jeff Baker each received 215 votes in Tuesday’s election. “It’s a dead tie,” said Sunderhaus, the Democratic candidate running for reelection. “He (Baker) ran a good,

“We have to make sure we are doing the right things for our children, and since Oak Hills is now rated Excellent with Distinction we can’t rest on our laurels,” she said. “We have to keep raising the bar and make sure we’re pushing ahead.” Tassopoulos said it was a good surprise to find out she won a seat on the board, and said she couldn’t have done it without all the help from her friends who volunteered at the polls on her behalf. She said she’s looking forward to maintaining an open and honest dialogue with district residents. “We need to make sure people are aware of what’s going on in the district,” she said. Tassopoulos said spend-

McKinney Norman She said she was immediately getting back to work the night after the election, attending a council committee meeting with the city’s new economic development director to discuss the city’s goals for the business district and residential area. She said her priority is to run council meetings efficiently and to make council more accessible to the public. Although the president of council is not required to attend council committee meetings, she said she will continue sitting in on every meeting to make certain she is knowledgeable about the operations of the city and up to date on council proj-

ects. “I know what the needs of the community are and I believe I have the leadership and business experience to do a good job and maintain the city,” McKinney said. She said she will continue helping council examine ways to improve in the business district and enforce the property maintenance code, and work with council to ensure the city is fiscally responsible with the recently passed tax levy. Cheviot Treasurer Charlie Norman, the incumbent Republican who sought election to the position after being appointed to the seat in January, won his race against Democratic challenger Michael Murray, a former city councilman. According to unofficial results, Norman won with 1,372 votes to Murray’s 806 votes, a margin of about 63 percent to 37 percent.

Norman said he is getting back to work making sure the city is getting the best return on its investments, and that the city’s money is invested safely. He said he will continue to shop the city’s business out to other banks to find new investment opportunities and remain competitive in the marketplace. “These are challenging economic times, but with challenge comes opportunity,” Norman said. “I think we have the chance to improve the city’s fortunes in the next four years and I’m looking forward to it.” He said it was gratifying to win the election and retain his seat as treasurer, and he said he thanks the voters for their support. “I’m very proud of the campaign I ran, and I appreciate the good, clean campaign my opponent ran as well.”

Election Day was a good day for the Republican party in Cheviot, as the Republican candidates for city council have a chance of winning all four ward seats. The Republican candidates clearly won the city council seats in Ward 1, Ward 2 and Ward 4. In Ward 3, incumbent Democrat Councilman James Sunderhaus Jr. and Republican challenger Jeff Baker each ended the night’s counting with 215 votes. Sally Krisel, director of elections for the Hamilton County Board of Elections, said the two will have to wait until Nov. 24, the deadline for when the results must be certified, to find out who won the spot on council. According to unofficial results from the board of elections, Sunderhaus and Baker each received 215 votes. While Sunderhaus and Baker wait for the final results, the other three members elected to city council are focusing on the work at hand. Incumbent Ward 1 Councilman Ryan Zech won his bid for re-election against Democratic challenger Katherine Kinney. According to unofficial results, Zech received 346 votes to Kinney’s 225, a margin of about 60 percent to 40 percent. Zech, who was re-elected to his second four-year term, said he will continue working on the initiatives council has started in the past few years, such as implementing the goals identified through Project Impact to improve the business district, attract new businesses and revitalize the housing stock. He said continually reviewing and enhancing the property maintenance code he helped draft is also going to be a priority in the next four years, as will working to make the recent tax levy last and finding ways to keep costs down while maintaining city services. He said he also looks forward to being able to still

Clark Zech work with the residents of his ward to help them with specific neighborhood problems needing attention. “I really do enjoy that part of the job,” Zech said. “I’m grateful I was reelected. It means a lot to me that so many people came out to vote.” Ward 2 Councilman Matthew McGowan received 432 votes, according to the board of elections. McGowan, a Republican, ran unopposed to retain his seat. Two political newcomers faced off for the open seat in Ward 4. Councilman Greg Stautberg did not seek reelection, leaving Democrat David Bunker and Republican William Clark III to challenge each other for the position. According to unofficial results, Clark defeated Bunker by a vote of 371 to 236, a margin of about 61 percent to 39 percent. “It was great that the people in my ward believed in me and what I stand for,” Clark said. “They believed I could do a good job in keeping Cheviot a nice place to live, and ensuring their tax dollars are well spent.” He said being tough on crime is going to be one of his main priorities, and he wants to find a way to bring the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program back to St. Martin and Cheviot schools. “I think it’s a quality program, and it’s very important for the kids in our community to have an anti-drug program,” he said. He said he also looks forward to working with the new economic development director to enhance the business district and fill empty storefronts. Like Zech, Clark said keeping a close eye on the city’s budget is going to be important for city council, and he will be fiscally conservative.

Elder earns top-10 finish at state By Tony Meale

tmeale@communitypress.com

The Elder High School cross country team finished 10th in the Division I State Championship at Scioto Downs in Columbus Nov. 7. Elder totaled 228 team points. Cleveland St. Ignatius, which won the state championship, had 82, and Mason junior Zach Wills (15:45.11) placed first overall to win his second straight state title. The Panthers were led by senior Keith Schenkel (16:38.68), who finished 39th overall, and junior Josh Makin (16:42.96), who finished 46th. Also contributing were junior Josh Rieskamp (17:01.52), junior Corey Zielinski (17:32.38), senior Sam Hahn (17:32.90), sophomore Nathan Lauck (17:37.13) and senior Jake Kelley (18:03.88). The Panthers, which accomplished their goal of finishing in the top 10, advanced to state after finishing second at districts and fourth at regionals. Their most consistent performer was Makin, who was GCL-South Runner of the Year; he placed second at districts and 12th at regionals. “He’s very talented, and he’s a good competitor,” Elder head coach Steve Spencer said. As a member of the track team this past spring, Makin ran a 1:58.9 in the 800 to break Elder’s sophomore record. “He’s got a lot of speed and he’s getting his endurance built up,” Spencer said. His runner-up performance at districts certainly helped; Makin (16:40.90)

Elder High School cross country runner Jake Kelley runs in the Division I Cross Country State Championships at Scioto Downs in Columbus Nov. 7. finished less than 12 seconds behind two-time defending state champion Zach Wills (16:29.10). Elder, which finished second to St. Xavier in the GCL this year, was also led primarily by Schenkel and Rieskamp; both placed in the top 30 at regionals. The Panthers returned to the state tournament for the first time since 2005. “It means a lot,” Spencer said. “It’s always one of our goals because of the history of the program.” Elder qualified for the state tournament a record 27 straight times from 1966 to 1992. The Panthers won their

first state title in 1973, when Spencer was head coach of the freshman team. Spencer became varsity head coach in 1976 and led Elder to state championships in 1982, 1986, 1988 and 1989. The Panthers were runners-up in 1987. “Regionals have gotten really tough,” Spencer said. “There were years we didn’t get out of regionals and I thought we could be top ten at state.” With two of its top three runners in Makin and Rieskamp returning next season, the Panthers look primed for another appearance at state 2010.

Oak Hills’ Velasquez finishes 35th at state By Tony Meale and Anthony Amorini eastsports@communitypress.com

Oak Hills High School senior cross country runner Izak Velasquez competed in the Division I State Championship at Scioto Downs in Columbus Nov. 7. Velasquez finished 35th overall in a time of 16:37.29. This is a vast improvement over his 2008 state performance, when he took 92nd with a time of 16:53.71.

Mason junior Zach Wills (15:45.11) won his second straight state title. “(Velasquez) battled some flu-like illness early in the year,” Oak Hills head coach Joe Zeinner said. “He came back and has been very strong the past couple of weeks. To see him reach his individual goal is pretty neat as a coach. He was always about the team first.” Velasquez led Oak Hills to a fifth-place finish at regionals Oct. 31. He finished sixth overall in a time of

16:22.02. “Izak ran a pretty darn good race,” Zeinner said. “He was in 31st at the halfmile mark. He was 10th place by a mile and a half. He let the race come to him. He runs with a lot of heart.” The team, however, did not qualify for state, as only the top four advance. Oak Hills took fifth place as a team, missing state by 40 points. “We were still pretty happy with fifth place,” Zeinner said. “We put it all

on the line, and we’re pleased with the effort.” Most of the team planned on going to state to cheer Velasquez and several team members – Max Bischoff, Cody Lacewell, Blake Meyer and David Colbrand – showed up to run with him this past week. Brett Frondorf came as well but couldn’t run because of illness. Zeinner said Velasquez and Bischoff, along with Stephen Kluesener, have been the “heart and soul” of the team.

“It means everything to me that they care that much about the program,” Zeinner said. “They showed up to run the five mile with Izak. They are getting out there and working out even though they don’t have to. It’s nice to reinforce they’re in it for the team and for the long haul.” “Those are some big shoes to fill but we have a nice cast of returning athletes along with a nice freshman class coming in,” he said.

Xavier (9-2, 3-0), which defeated Centerville 37-12. The Bombers are led by senior quarterback Luke Massa, who has thrown for 1,579 yards and 15 touchdowns on the year. Sophomore tailback Conor Hundley is the team’s top rusher; he has amassed 997 yards on the ground. St. X also has a stout defense that has allowed seven points or fewer in a game six times this season. The game is slated for Saturday, Nov. 14, at a site to be determined. If Elder advances, it plays the winner of Anderson and Middletown.

Vying for its fourth state title in school history, the St. Xavier High School cross country team finished second at the Division I State Championship at Scioto Downs in Columbus Nov. 7. The Bombers, which totaled 118 points, finished behind state champion Cleveland St. Ignatius (82) but ahead of Sylvania Northview (137) and Mason (146), which took third and fourth, respectively. St. X was led by junior Jack Butler (16:28.52), who finished 24th overall, and seniors Eric Gruenbacher (16:32.12) and Chris Hanson (16:33.03), who finished 27th and 29th, respectively. Also contributing were senior Gus Walter (16:59.43), junior Greg Sanders (16:59.69), senior Tyler Smith (17:11.29) and senior Mike Gerhardt (18:05.28). Mason junior Zach Wills (15:45.11) won the state title for the second consecutive year. The Bombers advanced to state after claiming their second GCL-South title in three years and winning district and regional championships. The key to their success was depth, as 29 Bombers

No other squad had more than two. “From the very beginning of the season, the guys knew we should have a great deal of depth, and that makes practices more competitive,” head coach Mike Dehring said. “The guys realized, ‘If I want to be in the top 7, I need to run today. Because there are a lot of guys who are talented and who want my spot.’” But Dehring was impressed with the maturity and humility of all his runners this season. “We have a lot of guys who could run in the top 7

for other squads, but even though they don’t, they still love and support the guys who do,” he said. Arguably the Bombers’ most consistent performer was Gruenbacher, who finished third at districts and fourth at regionals. “Eric has brought the level of everyone’s training up to his own; that might be the biggest thing he’s done for us this season,” Dehring said. “The consistency of his work ethic and the way he approaches everything have been fantastic. If you tell him to do something, he’ll do it to the full letter of the law.” Dehring was also pleasantly surprised with his two non-senior runners at state – Sanders and Butler, who placed second overall at districts.

La Salle High School junior cross country runner Kevin Kluesener runs in the Division I State Championship at Scioto Downs in Columbus Nov. 7. ior Matt Nie (18:43.46). The state finals concluded Saturday, Nov. 7, and took place at Scioto Downs in Columbus. “History is important in this program,” Russo said of the 1986 team providing inspiration for the 2009 Lancers. Russo is always ready to give a Lancer history lesson. This fall marked the 18th time La Salle has qualified to state as a team since 1986. Since 1999, the Lancers have qualified to state as a team every year except 2007. And in 2007, Travis Hawes kept the Lancers’ state streak alive with an individual qualification. With Hawes’ help, at least one Lancer has been at state every year since 1985. Hawes is now a junior at La Salle. “(Hawes) is the first athlete in La Salle history to receive All Southwest recognition his first three years in high school,” Russo proudly reported. The Lancers have twice won state titles (2005, 2006) and finished as Ohio’s runner-up on five occasions (1986, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003). “It takes a special group with high expectations,” Russo said of his current team making state. “We set our goals at the beginning of the season and they

A third-place finish at the Greater Catholic League South Division cross country finals could have been a panic-inducing moment for the eventual state qualifiers from La Salle High School. The Lancers could have started to worry about its post-season prospects. But instead, a simple tale about the 1986 Lancers kept the current La Salle boys focused on the ultimate prize of running at state. “There had been a team that had taken this journey before them and that was a theme for us,” head coach Frank Russo said of the 2009 Lancers mirroring his 1986 squad throughout elimination rounds. Though his current crop of runners weren’t born yet, 1986 holds a special place in the long-time coach’s heart as the first Lancer team to make state. The 1986 Lancers rallied to take second place at state after finishing third during the league, district and regional finals. With the current squad replicating those results exactly up until state, Russo was sure to mention the 1986 squad early and often, he said. At the 2009 Division I State Championships, La Salle finished in 16th place with 348 points. Cleveland St. Ignatius won the Division I team title at 82 points. La Salle was led by junior Travis Hawes (16:50.46), who finished 57th overall. Also contributing were junior Alex Thiery (17:03.64), junior Kevin Kluesener (17:38.78), senior Rob Rippenger (18:03.94), freshman Jacob McNamara (18:15.96), junior Ethan Bokeno (18:19.15) and jun-

Lancer senior Rob Rippenger was also a part of the state qualifying team. “It was even more of a special moment this year with all the adversity we dealt with,” Russo said of the state qualification. “They pulled it all together and executed on a great race plan (at regionals). “We are just getting into peak-performance shape (for regionals and districts),” Russo added. Nie started the season with the Lancers’ junior varsity team before helping launch La Salle into the state championships, Russo said. “(Nie) continued to improve every week and he was a huge key this past weekend for (our state qualification,” Russo said. “The saying in cross country is that you are only as good as your fifth man.

never wavered once we got to districts.” Before districts, adversity had kept the Lancers from reaching its full potential, Russo said. Hawes, the Lancers’ No. 1 runner, and junior Ethan Bokeno, La Salle’s No. 2 runner, both spent a considerable amount of time sidelined with injuries mid-season. Though Hawes and Bokeno returned, La Salle also had to deal with season-ending injuries to a pair of varsity contributors including Drew Michel and Alex Cornelius “We lost our No. 1 and No. 2. That’s never happened in my 27 years,” Russo said. “We’ve had key injuries and sickness on a scale we’ve never experienced.” Hawes returned a week prior to the Greater Catholic League finals to tune-up for districts. Bokeno’s first meet back was the Division I District Championships on Oct. 24. La Salle advanced to regionals with its third-place finish at districts. The Lancers were led by a sixthplace performance from junior Alex Thiery at 16:53.50. Hawes finished 11th at 17:16.70. Bokeno finished 12th at 17:18.80 with La Salle junior Kevin Kluesener taking 14th place at 17:22.50. “As soon as we got (Bokeno and Hawes) back, the whole energy and confidence level of the team took a 180,” Russo said. At regionals Oct. 31, La Salle advanced with another third-place finish while qualifying to state. Hawes led the way for La Salle with a 14th-place finish at 16:35.15. Thiery took 18th place at 16:52.40 and was closely followed by Bokeno’s 26thplace time of 17:03.77 Kluesener (39th place at 17:14.96) and junior Matt Nie (54th place at 17:29) also scored for La Salle at regionals.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Speak out

After reading the article in the Enquirer Tuesday, Nov. 3, regarding the cancellation of the Christmas parade in Amelia after 28 years and reason given they there was fear of being sued by certain religious groups, I almost became sick to my stomach. Well, maybe it is about time that some of these laws that permit being sued for having a Christmas parade be changed and the silent majority who favor celebrating the birth of Jesus should speak out and be silent no longer. Let’s start with our local representatives who actually elect the lawmakers of such ridiculous laws. The people still have the power and if we sit silently by and let these things happen and just shrug our shoulders we will be in deep trouble in our country. Don Huber Aston View Lane Cleves

Curb spending

I’m very concerned with the out-of-control spending by Green Township while the state of Ohio, Hamilton County and every other municipality in the area are cutting expenses. Green Township has been buying property all over the township and for what purpose, I don’t know. All of this property is now vacant: North Bend and Boomer, Ebenezer and Hutchinson, Bridgetown and Race, Westwood Northern and Boudinot and some others I don’t know about. Green Township also recently purchased a bell tower for Veterans Park, which is very honorable, but was it really necessary? I just think in these economic conditions, the trustees should

curb some of the spending. Greg Hoffman Ebenezer Road Green Township

Thanks for voters

I would like to say thank you to the voters of Miami Township for electing me township trustee once again on Nov. 3. I have always tried to provide good services and be a watchdog for our residents when it came to spending their tax dollars and will continue to do that during the next four years. As always, residents can contact me at 941-2466 or e-mail me at paulbeck@zoomtown.com. A special thank you also goes to the many volunteers who worked and supported me during this campaign. Paul Beck Trustee Miami Township

CH@TROOM Last week’s question

Do you plan to attend a Veterans Day event in your community? What does the day mean to you? “Although I have no current plans to attend an event, to me it is recognition of those who risked their lives and those who gave their lives for our freedoms.” B.N. “Delhi is dedicating there Veteran’s Memorial on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 1 p.m.. My dad, passed away five years ago and he was a veteran in the United States Army. Our entire family will be at the event to remember him and all the men and women who have died that faithfully served and protected our country.” J.A.B. “Yes I will attend a veterans memorial service. The day is very special to me because my father who served in France during World War I died on Nov. 11.” L.S. “Yes, we will be attending Veterans Day events in the community. My daughter will be performing in the choir in the celebration taking place at C.O. Harrison. She will also have the privilege of serving breakfast to the veterans participating in the event and their families. She is so proud to be taking part in the day’s festivities. It’s a great way to say thank you to all that these wonderful people have done and sacrificed for us.” C.F.

Thanks for not giving to your pet As you prepare for Thanksgiving, hosting crowds of in-laws, outlaws and assorted stragglers, keep in mind your pet will appreciate being kept out of the stress loop. If you are going out, leave your pet home and away from celebrations. If you are the host, set up a quiet, comfy place for your pet to reside during the festivities. A comfortable crate is one solution; a room with a do not disturb sign is another. Don't put your pet in the garage! Garages are often used as storage for many chemicals that are deadly to pets. And remember, a tired pet is a good pet. Try giving extra exercise and play time in the morning before guests arrive. Keep current registration and identification tags on your pet. With guests coming in and out of your home, it is very easy for a door to be left ajar and for your animal to wander off.

Food manners and safety

While some would argue that some pets have better table manners than Aunt Edna, you can feed your pet close to the normal schedule, but before guests arrive, to reduce the temptation for begging and stealing. You can also use a pet gate or safety barrier during mealtime so your pet is nearby.

Don't give your pet different food than they would normally eat. Think of how you feel after over-stuffing yourself at the mealtime. Diane Feeding your Zdelar-Bush dog or cat differfood, espeCommunity ent cially the kind Press guest from a Thankscolumnist giving feast, can cause unwanted abdominal pain, vomiting or diarrhea. Discourage family members and guests from indulging your pet with inappropriate snacks. Food high in sodium (especially peanuts and chips) and other fatty foods like poultry skin, beef or pork fat can cause an inflammation of pancreas. Pancreatitis is potentially life-threatening condition. Keep chocolate away from dogs and cats. Chocolate, which contains theobromine and caffeine, can be harmful to your pooch. Rapid breathing and hyperactivity are signs of bad reaction to chocolate. Once the table is cleared, make sure pets cannot get to scraps or bones.

Food preparation and disposal

Don't leave raw turkey on the kitchen counter. Pets can be creative in their quest to reach the counter. Dispose of aluminum foil, plastic wrap and waxed paper from holiday foods. If your pet can get to it, they will lick the food off foils or wraps. The swallowing of such coverings can cause intestinal obstruction. Keep leftover food out of reach and in tightly closed containers.

Secure your garbage

It only takes a minute to get into the garbage and wolf down whatever smells good – including the string used to tie the turkey. Turkey bones are dangerous for your pet. Any brittle, spiky bone could lodge in the esophagus or cause an irritation of the stomach or intestines. Onions in holiday stuffing can lead to canine anemia if consumed by your dog. Grapes and raisins are toxic and can cause kidney failure in pets. Caffeine and alcohol are also toxic for pets. All of these “treasures” are packaged nicely into the trash for your pet to do some one-stop shopping And remember, keep your emergency vet clinic or veterinary hospital number handy. Diane Zdelar-Bush is a registered veterinary technician with Glenway Animal Hospital.

Air pollution still a growing concern Since the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1963, the nation’s air has become remarkably cleaner, the Greater Cincinnati area included. The number of smog alerts in the area has dropped drastically in the past 10 years from 27 days in 1999 to only three days thus far in 2009. And harmful chemicals like smog and soot are less pervasive throughout the whole country. However, scientific research has revealed even minimal exposure to air pollution can be dangerous. The increased effects of global warming and inefficient use of energy continue to generate less than ideal air quality, especially here in the Tristate. The Air Quality Management Division of the Hamilton County Environmental Services said that smog, once considered only a problem during the summer, could become a problem during winter months due to tightening air control standards. “While we have made great progress in reducing air pollution in the Tristate, it is crucial we continue the effort,” said Steve Pendery, Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana

Emily Feldman Community Press guest columnist

Regional Council of Governments (OKI) board president and Campbell County judge executive. “Air pollution is still a serious problem in the Tristate and ignoring this issue puts everyone at risk for various health problems – right now and

in the future.” A July study by the American Lung Association ranked Greater Cincinnati in the 25 worst U.S. cities for air pollution based on levels of ozone (aka smog) and fine particulates (aka soot). While there are several forms of air pollution, these two prove to be two of the most dangerous. Both ozone and particulate pollution are serious health concerns, causing irritation to the throat, nose, eyes and lungs as well as decreasing the lungs’ working capacity. The study also noted that air pollution can lead to longterm health problems such as lung

diseases, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. “Air pollution continues to be a widespread and dangerous problem,” said OKI Executive Director Mark Policinski. “But the problem can’t be solved solely by cleaning up the big industries. It’s a problem that must be tackled by each individual as well.” OKI leads the fight against air pollution in the Tristate with its Do Your Share for Cleaner Air campaign. It suggests many tips for reducing air pollution including small changes that everyone can make to his or her daily routine. These changes include carpooling, riding the bus, cutting back on vehicle trips, conserving electricity, walking instead of driving, refueling after 8 p.m. and using gas-powered lawn equipment after 8 p.m. More tips on how to reduce air pollution and information about Greater Cincinnati’s Do Your Share for Cleaner Air campaign can be found at www.DoYourShare.org or by calling 1-800- 621-SMOG.

Sisters of Charity celebrate jubilees

A total of 26 Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati are celebrating jubilees this year. They represent 1,315 years of service in the Cincinnati area, in dioceses throughout the United States and in Guatemala and Mexico. Diamond jubilarians, celebrating 60 years of commitment, were honored at a Mass at the Congregation’s Mount St. Joseph Motherhouse in August; golden jubilarians, marking 50 years, were honored at a Mass in July. This year’s golden jubilarians are: Sisters Jo Ann Martini, Suzanne Donovan, Marty Gallagher, Juanita Marie Gonzales, Mary Gallagher, Maureen Heverin, Mary Paul Medland, Kay Willenborg, Carol Leveque, Clarann Weinert, Joan Clare Stewart, Mary Alice Stein and Joan Wessendarp. This year’s diamond jubilarians are sisters Ann Paulette Burger, Mary Germaine Maximovich, Joseph Ellen Noppenberger, Marian Hart, Patrice Vales Joan Cain, Therese Marie Tuszynski, Lucia Anne Roney and Jean Ann Glutz. The following have a westside connection: Sister Ann Paulette Burg er – Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, Sister Ann Paulette Burger said the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati were part of her life from a young age. She was taught by the Charities from first through 12th grades at Holy Family, St. Lawrence and Seton High School. “When I decided to enter religious life after high school in 1949, there was no other Community that I seriously considered,” Sister said. This year she celebrates 60 years of religious life. From 1981 until 1987, she was an intermediate teacher at St. William School before spending the next 19 years as a part-time elementary librarian at St. Ann and Holy Family schools. In 2006, Sister Ann Paulette retired and began volunteering at the Sisters of Charity Motherhouse. Sister also volunteers in the library at Our Lady of Lourdes one day each week, and at Holy Family School as needed. In her free time, she enjoys photography, coin collecting and playing cards. She is part of the Card Club, a group of 12 Sisters of Charity who have gathered

Sister Jo Ann Martini – Growing up in Cincinnati, she attended Our Lady of Victory in Delhi. In the sixth grade, her teacher, a Franciscan sister, spoke on vocations, and Sister Jo Ann said it was then that she knew she wanted to enter religious life. It was while attending Seton High School that she realized she wanted to become a Sister of Charity. At the request of her mother, she entered the work force after graduation. She left three months later, at the end of August, and on Sept. 8, 1949, entered the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. This year she celebrates 50 years of religious life. “With fewer religious sisters in the schools, I was drawn to becoming a director of religious education (DRE),” Sister Jo Ann said. She received a master’s degree in pastoral studies from Loyola University in Chicago, Ill., in 1991. In 1993, she began serving as the DRE elementary division at St. John the Baptist parish in Harrison, a position she continues in today. At the parish, she also serves as a Eucharistic lector, Eucharistic minister, facilitator in the “Why Catholic” program and a member of the Daughters of Isabella women’s organiza-

tion. She also is an active member in the Archdiocese Cincinnati Religious Education Association (CREA) organization. In 1999, she was honored with the Harrison Council No. 2633 Knights of Columbus “Religious of the Year” award for her contribution to the spiritual and temporal growth of the Church and its members. Sister Joan Wessendarp – She attended St. William School and Seton High School. She made a novena to St. Therese the Little Flower, and “my answer came at the end of the novena on Feb. 11, the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. (That day) I received my acceptance into the Sisters of Charity.” As a Sister of Charity, she has spent all 50 years ministering in the field of education – at all levels. She began her education ministry as a junior high school instructor at Loyola in Denver, Colo., in 1963. The following year she taught high school religion and English at Archbishop Alter High School in Kettering. One of her favorite ministries began in 1972 as assistant dean of students at the College of Mount St. Joseph. She became the director of student activities at Seton High School in Cincinnati in 1979. She remained in the position for three years before serving the next seven as a teacher at the

school. From 1989 until 1992, she ministered as the director of religious formation at St. Catherine before taking over as the guidance counselor at St. Ursula in 1992. Five years later, she became the elementary school counselor to four Catholic schools – Holy Family, St. Lawrence and Resurrection and St. Vincent de Paul. One year after her ministry began, additional staff was hired and she no longer served St. Lawrence. By 2000, she was assigned to Holy Family and St. Vincent de Paul, but when the school closed in 2007, she became the full-time counselor at Holy Family. In addition to her fulltime ministry, she spent six years as a Network Leader for the Congregation. She has a passion for music and has played the piano, organ, clarinet and violin. She enjoys hiking, cycling, swimming and cross country skiing. Sister Martha Jean Gallagher – Born and raised in Cincinnati, Sister Martha Jean Gallagher (the former Sister Catherine Maureen) attended Seton High School where she was taught by the Sisters of Charity. It was there that she met her mentor and role model, Sister of Charity Linda Chavez (then Sister Leo Margaret). Sister Marty entered the community at the age of 18. In 2009, Sister Marty is celebrating 50 years as a Sister of Charity of Cincinnati. Her first mission was as primary teacher at St. Charles in Lima, Ohio. During a summer break, she was assigned to teach in a migrant farm worker school in Findlay, Ohio – one of the most significant events in her ministries, she said. It was there that she met Sister of Charity Pauline Apodoca, who was conducting a study for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati on the needs of farm workers. In 1969, Sister Marty was missioned as a primary teacher to St. Mary in Greenville, Ohio, an area that also had a large migrant population. On weekends and evenings she worked in the medical clinics of migrants and went out

into the fields and camps with Sister Pauline. In 1974, at the request of labor leader and civil rights activist Cesar Chavez, she began working with United Farm Workers in Salinas, Calif. Three weeks into her ministry, she was named the administrator of the United Farm Workers Clinic in Salinas. After three years, and total mental and physical exhaustion, she left the clinic. She studied the language and the culture in Ensenada, Mexico, for a short time before ministering in a medical clinic, La Clinica del Pueblo, in the village of Tierra Amarilla in northern New Mexico, in charge of administration while also becoming a licensed EMT. Sister Marty returned to Cincinnati in 1978 and participated in the active spirituality program at the College of Mount St. Joseph for nine months. In 1979, she founded and directed Connelly Homes for the Mentally Retarded, a group home for women with mental illness and developmental disabilities. During the 10 years she served as director, she applied to the University of Cincinnati for a master’s degree in mental health counseling and received a full scholarship. Soon after, she developed Meniere’s disease, a severe hearing disorder, and was told to eliminate all stress in her life. She was forced to leave Connelly Homes. In 1991, after completing her master’s, she became a part-time staff member of the wellness center at the College of Mount St. Joseph. At the same time, she began working on mental health issues in Mother Margaret Hall nursing facility at Mount St. Joseph also part-time. As both positions turned into full-time ministries, she decided to resign at the college and stay at Mother Margaret Hall, a position she continues in today. Sister Marty also sees individual clients and conducts in-service for the nurse aides and nursing personnel. Once a week, since 1997, she has taught a class for Sisters on inte-

grating mental health and spirituality. She also works with Sisters of Mercy at McAuley Convent and conducts some of their in-service education on death and dying. Sister Suzanne Donovan – “While the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati seem to have always been a part of my life, it was the women who served at St. Lawrence, our home parish; the high school I attended, Seton High School; and those women I met when my sister entered the Community that witnessed to something I found very compelling,” Sister of Charity Suzanne Donovan (the former Sister Susan Joseph) said on the occasion of her golden jubilee. Sher earned a bachelor’s degree in education from the College of Mount St. Joseph (Cincinnati, Ohio). Her first mission was as an intermediate teacher at St. Bernard in Springfield, Ohio, from 1963 until 1968. Sister Suzanne’s ministry in education continued as elementary teacher and then principal at St. Mary, Greenville, Ohio, (1968’69, 1969-’72); elementary principal, Resurrection School, Cincinnati (1972’75); and teacher, Thomas More College, Ft. Mitchell, Ky., (1975-’76). In 1991, she began a new role as councilor for the Sisters of Charity Leadership Council, which she said “offered challenges, delight and its share of growth opportunities.” Her responsibilities included communications and long-range planning. For the past nine years, Sister Suzanne has served as the director of human resources for the Diocese of Wilmington, Del., where she also serves as the coordinator of the safe environments education program, created in response to the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People adopted in 2002 by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. She said her role in teaching, as well as planning, managing, coaching, counseling and administration, “was all part of what was yet to be as I came to minister in the Diocese of Wilmington.”

Hear what some of your friends think of you w i t h dilemmas such as, “I think it would be m o r e responsible to stay and Father Lou home study for Guntzelman the test Perspectives and not to go to the movies; yet, I’ve been working hard, maybe I deserve a break or find time to do both.” A judgment is called for. A prudent judgment. Situations crying for a prudent decision seem endless in life: how to break bad news gently; whether to punish a fault or let it go this time; how much to become further involved in a risky or flirtatious relationship; what legislation to vote for in an election that will best promote the common good, etc.? All such matters, great and small, are governed by prudence. We become a prudent and wise person not in making one prudent decision. Prudence is the acquired habit of always, or nearly always, choosing the right means to achieve morally good ends. At times it can be agonizing and demand much of us. Former Yale chaplain

William Sloane Coffin said, “The first of the four cardinal virtues of the Roman Catholic Church is ‘prudentia,’ which basically means damn good thinking. Christ came to take away our sins, not our minds.” Yes, prudence takes damn good thinking – not merely egotistically deciding what fits my agenda. If we develop prudence, it usually comes from the widest possible observation and experience of human behavior, understanding what constitutes psychological health, and a conscientious awareness of the general moral principles with which God has imbued mankind. Prudence has little correlation with book learning. Some people seem to develop it more readily, some otherwise intelligent persons appear slow to catch on, and geniuses may be totally deficient. Making prudent choices is often laborious, yet the complexities of life make it ever more necessary. Thomas Aquinas claimed that the central moral virtue was prudence. While love is the underlying motive for moral action, the essence of moral judgment itself is the astute and wise judgment we exercise by sifting through all the alternatives presented

by the concrete world. And since the alternatives are often so complex, wise judgment is itself a skill and constitutes the virtue called prudence. So, if you hear some

friends have called you the most prudent person they know, smile, don’t frown. Father Lou Guntzelman is a Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

If, in your absence, some friends of yours said you were one of the most prudent people they knew – would you feel complimented or criticized? Prudence sounds a lot like “prude,” doesn’t it? So, are you offended? What is prudence, and what does it mean to be prudent? Prudence is the first of four virtues traditionally named as the most important in the ethical order. As far back as Plato and Aristotle the virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance have been praised. In “A Concise Dictionary of Theology,” Gerald Collins S. J. says that prudence “entails the capacity to translate general norms and ideals into practice.” A Christian prudence is more than a mere shrewdness to win your case or avoid harsh consequences. It’s more similar to an innate common sense. Prudence is the intellectual ability to choose the right means toward a worthy end. You know how often we struggle with puzzling questions of how to spend our money, where to direct our time, how to handle the competing demands of our lives, how to settle differences, etc. A student may wrestle

SECRETS OF EGYPT

A local woman says she now regrets ever responding to an ad for air duct cleaning. Although the price in the ad sounded good, she says she had no idea what she was getting herself into. What happened to her should be a cautionary tale for everyone. Nicole Smith of Fort Thomas says she now realizes she should have double-checked before agreeing to more and more duct cleaning after responding to an ad. “It said they would clean 14 vents and one return for $49.95. I was like, ‘They’re not that dirty, just kind of sweep it through and get it out of there,’ ” she said. Smith said when the serviceman arrived things were different. “He even refused to clean the ducts because he said they had to have something done. He wouldn’t do it, he said he had to treat it first,” she said. Smith ended up agreeing to a host of things. “It was treatment for a sanitizer to control germs, bacteria and feces, and a product to control mold, mildew and fungus,” she said. That, plus a whole lot more, came to $1,000. After the serviceman left, friends and other companies she contacted all raised questions about the air duct

cleaning – including whether she really had mold as the serviceman claimed. So, she called and requested a refund, but it was denied. “They said because they had already done the treatment they put it through,” said Smith. I showed Smith the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommendation about duct cleaning. It said duct cleaning has never been shown to actually prevent health problems. “I really wish I would have read this beforehand,” Smith told me. The EPA said much of the dirt and dust in air ducts simply adheres to the duct surfaces and does not necessarily enter the living space. So, it said, cleaning should be considered for only severe cases of mold, dust and debris. The EPA also said, “Pollutants that enter the home both from outdoors and indoor activities such as cooking, cleaning, smoking or just moving around can cause greater exposure to contaminants than dirty air ducts.” I contacted the company Smith had hired, explained how it failed to give her three days in which to cancel, as required by law, and the company has now given

An easy beef stir fry, a colorful Jell-O dessert putting in a good word for me with the “right people.” If you have easy recipes for folks like Father Rob, please share.

Rita’s easy stir-fry beef with green onions and tomatoes

If you want, add a handful of snow peas or bean sprouts with tomatoes and onions. 1 pound or less flank steak, thinly sliced across grain 1 ⁄4 cup or more to taste, soy sauce 1 tablespoon cornstarch 4 tomatoes cut into wedges (if they’re big, use 2) 1 bunch green onions, sliced thin Canola or peanut oil Hot cooked rice More soy if desired Combine beef, soy and

cornstarch. Marinate anywhere from five minutes to a day. Film bottom of large skillet with oil. Stir fry beef in batches, adding oil as needed. Place back into skillet and add tomatoes and onions. Cook until hot. Add more soy if desired. Serve over rice.

for many years. That friendship and this column led Velma to me with her favorite Jell-O recipe . “Red on bottom, white in middle and green on top. Very colorful for holidays,” she said. I think Velma should invite Dick and me over to enjoy a big plateful! Velma uses a Pyrex dish, about 11-by-8. 1 pkg. cherry Jell-O, 4 serving size 13⁄4 cups very hot water 1 cup chopped apple Mix Jell-O and water until Jell-O dissolves, stir in apple, and pour in casserole. Let gel before pouring on layer No. 2.

Second layer:

1 pkg. lemon Jell-O, 4 serving size 6 oz. cream cheese, softened 13⁄4 cups pineapple juice and water (pineapple juice comes from pineapple used in layer No. 3. Pour juice into measuring cup and fill with water to make 13⁄4 cups. Heat until very hot). 1 cup chopped nuts Mix Jell-O, cream cheese and juice/water until Jell-O dissolves and cream cheese is smooth.

Put in refrigerator to gel just enough so nuts can be mixed in easily. Pour onto first layer. Let gel before pouring on layer No. 3.

Third layer:

1 pkg. lime Jell-O, 4 serving size 13⁄4 cups very hot water 1 can, approximately 20 oz., crushed pineapple, drained (save juice for layer No. 2) Mix Jell-O and water until Jell-O dissolves. Put in fridge to gel just enough so pineapple can be mixed in easily. Pour onto second layer.

Mullane’s

My editor, Lisa Mauch, is my best researcher. Here's what she found on the Web regarding Mullane’s: • In 1848, William and Mary Mullane opened a small store in the West End and began selling taffy and molasses candy. (Cincinnati Magazine) • In the 1940s, Mullane’s operated a tea shop/restaurant in the arcade of the Carew Tower. Eventually the restaurant closed and was sold, but the name Mullane's was retained and a small restaurant by that name operated on Race Street between Seventh and Eighth streets until 2004. (Ancestry.com) • In 1959, George and Marilyn Case purchased the 111-year-old Mullane Taffy Company, which shipped its goodies all over the world, and moved it to larger quarters in Norwood. (Billboard Magazine). was rather translucent and just a wee bit softer. The company disappeared and I would love to know how to make the translucent taffy or purchase it.” Rita Nader Heikenfeld is Macy’s certified culinary professional and family herbalist, an educator and author.

New one-day miracle for denture sufferers

Are you not eating what you want to because of difficulties with your dentures? Do they wander, shift or tilt? Are you replacing them all the time? Have you been told you don’t have enough bone for traditional dental implants?

“If you can handle visiting your dentist in the morning, having the MDI system placed in less that two hours and then going out and enjoying lunch at your favorite restaurant while you eat comfortably, talk and smile with confidence, then you’re ready for this process,” says Dr. Omeltschenko. “It’s that easy. With MDIs your denture feels secure and is held firmly in place. At about a third of the price of traditional implants, they’re extremely affordable, too,” he adds. If your dentures are not firmly placed and you would like to experience the convenience that this technology can offer, call the office of Dr. Christopher Omeltschenko today at (513) 245-2200 for a free, no-obligation consultation (a $150 value).

It isn’t the things that go in one ear and out the other that hurt, as much as the things that go in one ear and get all mixed up before they slip out the mouth . . . A wit once wise-cracked,“Nothing is opened more by mistake than the mouth.”It was meant in jest but it also has a serious meaning. For instance, can any one honestly say he has never said the wrong thing at the wrong time? Hardly. When a faux-pas like that happens, one regrets it. An unthinking slip of the tongue can happen to any one. It is understandable. However, an outright lie - especially an untrue and unconﬁrmed rumor spoken behind the back of someone, is not a slip of the tongue. Instead, it is a slippery slide that debases a human mind. Because malicious gossip can malign, tragically taint or ruin a person’s character and reputation, the act is inexcusable. The offended person must really stretch religious instinct of compassion, forgiveness and understanding of a non-understandable offense. The victim must show considerable courage to believe the sureness of right will prevail. It takes even more courage to adhere to Ecclesiastes 7:9- “Be not quick to anger, for anger lodges in the bosom of fools”. . . Marilyn Holt

Flat on her back, Debbie had pretty much given up on living a normal life. Spinal stenosis produced excruciating back, leg and hip pain. Her internist sent her to a Group Health Associates specialist who treats pain and restores function without surgery. “He seemed to be in tune with what I needed,” she said. “Today, I can ride my bike, go to the grocery store and church – just about anything, she said.” Debbie also loves the convenience of visiting all of her doctors in one location – and picking up her prescriptions on the way out the door. It’s the friendly, expert care that makes Debbie trust Group Health Associates.
