About three dozenstudents at CarsonSchool brought “Yes,Virginia” musical to lifeon the stage Dec. 20 atSeton High School.

The play is based onthe story of 8-year-oldVirginia O’Hanlon, whowrote a letter to theNewYork Sun newspaper in1897, asking whetherSanta Claus exists.

In celebration of thefifth anniversary of itsholiday “Believe” cam-paign, Macy’s providedagrant tounderwrite theproduction. Two Cincin-nati Public schools, Car-son School and MidwaySchool, were among 100schools across the coun-try to receive the grant.Macy’s made the scriptand score for “Yes, Vir-ginia The Musical”available royalty-free totheschoolsandcreatedafree, digital toolkit onyesvirginiamusical-.com.

The children in theplay were treated to thewhole experience of aprofessional produc-tion—from full makeup(provided by Macy’smakeup artists) to cos-tuming. Macy’s Facili-

ties and Visual team de-signed, built and deco-rated the entire stageset. Staff members ofFamiliesFORWARD’sAfter-School Program,as well as Carson teach-ers, parents and PriceHill community sup-porters, guided the chil-dren through practice,rehearsal and theplay it-self.

Carson performs forSeton High School

Cincinnati officialsshared with the public alist of11potential sites forthe construction of a newWest Side police stationlast week, singling outfive sites that meet themost criteria laid out forthe project.

The five sites favoredlots larger than six acres,positioned in westernparts of the citywherepo-lice get themost calls andare within a half-milewalk from a neighbor-hood business district –the latter a major tenet ofthecity’snewcomprehen-sive plan.

“We’d like to get thisproject under way quick-ly,” Assistant City Man-ager Scott Stiles told theroom of roughly 100 resi-dentsandafewCityCoun-cil members at ElderHigh School. “Police wantthis opened yesterday.”

City Manager MiltonDohoney Jr. made com-pletion of theproject a toppriority in his recom-mended budget this year.City Council agreed to ap-propriate $16 million tobuild the station, approv-ing a slight property taxincrease to pay for it. Theproject budget was “re-fined” froman earlier fig-ure of $23million, said thecity manager’s spokes-woman, Meg Olberding.

The five locations are:» 1046-1048 Considine

Ave. , East Price Hill;» 1945 Dunham Way,

West Price Hill;» 2300 Ferguson Road,

Westwood;» Dempsey Park, near

HawthorneandPrice ave-nues, East Price Hill; and

» Former MidwaySchool site, off of QueenCity and Midway ave-nues, Westwood.

The current station, at3201Warsaw Ave. in EastPrice Hill, opened in 1908has been technologicallyand structurally obsoletefor years, Stiles and po-lice officials explained.

Thecity hopes “to opena month before the All-Star Game in Cincinnati”in the spring of 2015,Stiles said.

District 3 covers 20squaremiles – the second-

largest of the city’s sixdistricts, including theCentral Business Section– and is home to 95,000people, nearly 32 percentof the city’s population.

The new station mustbe built where it can havethe greatest effect oncrime in the district,which has risen over thelast decade, District 3Commander Capt. RussNeville said, and mustsupport new and futuretechnologies.

It will also be built con-sidering its use to thecommunity, said Neville,who says he’s talked toneighborhood communitycouncils about what resi-dents want and envisionsa room where Citizens onPatrol and other commu-nity groups can meet.

“I want everyone whohasanaffiliationwithDis-trict 3 to feel like a part of

this,” Neville said.After the presentation

held in Elder’s SchaeperCenter, visitors wrotenotes to city planners onmaps of the five sites.

On themap of theDun-ham option, where a cityrecreation center alsosits, one concerned resi-dent wrote: “Please don’tdestroy these recreation-al and green spaces.”

Stiles said comments

like those will be wel-comeduntil thesite ischo-sen this spring, pointingpeople to a newly createdFacebook page, to leavecomments: www.face-book.com/CityofCincy.

First-graders at Sayl-er Park School celebrat-ed their 100th day ofschool in a unique way.

The students came upwith an idea to give back.They helped organize adrive to collect non-per-ishable food items andtoiletries to give to Serv-ing Sayler Park, a foodpantry managed by theEden Chapel UnitedMethodist Church.

“We had just gottendone studyingMartin Lu-therKing and howhewaskind to others,” first-grade teacher Jennifer

Parento said. “We startedthinking about some easyways to do nice things forpeople and thekids reallycame up with most of theidea. Theywanted to helppeople who don’t havefood.”

To accompany the 100days celebration, Paren-to and fellow first-gradeteachers Amy Muellerand Lynne Maloneythought it would be goodto set the goal for theclass to collect 100 itemsfor the pantry.

“We colored in a 100-chartwhichwasgreat forthem to see how manymore items we needed toget to our goal,” Parentosaid.

The class exceededtheir goal, bringing in195items for the pantry.

“They were very en-thused,” principal GaryVale said. “Theywere ex-cited about sending theitems to the food pantry.”

Vale said that in addi-tion to the donations thefirst grade collected,they added items that theschool donated during a

SuperBowlcannedgoodsdrive.

Even more impres-sive, Parento said, washow many items werecollected in a short time.She said that they startedcollecting things Jan. 23and the 100th day wasFeb. 1.

“It was very reward-ing and they were soproud of themselves togive to others who haveless than them,” she said.

Eden Chapel UnitedMethodist Church pasto-ral assistant Bev Eidingsaid they were thrilled toreceive donations from

the school.“It’s great to have

Sayler Park School sup-porting us,” she said. “Weappreciate it and wethank them for their ef-forts and I know the peo-ple of the communitywho use the pantry thankthem too.”

Area firefighters andpolice officers are com-ing together to help fel-low first responders wholost their homes toHurri-cane Sandy.

“This is important,”said Kelly Raker, a Cin-cinnati policeofficerwholives in Miami Townshipin Hamilton County. “Weneed to help our brotherand sister officers andtheir families, and whobetter to take care ofthem than first respond-ers.”

Raker is chairwomanof the upcoming 1st Re-sponder Rescue Fund-raiser, an effort initiated

bymembers of theGreenTownship ProfessionalFirefighters Local 2927,Cincinnati Fire FightersLocal 48, Colerain Town-ship Firefighters Local3915, Cincinnati PoliceFraternal Order of Policeand the Hamilton CountySheriff Fraternal Orderof Police.

As the countrywatched HurricaneSandy unleash its wrathupon the East Coast inlate October, Raker saidfirst responders in NewYork andNew Jersey lefttheir homes and familiesto serve their communi-ties and assist theirneighbors.

She said in the after-math of the storm, many

first responders tookhard hits that left theirlives in complete devas-tation. In Breezy Point,N.Y., alone, she said 90first responders’ homeswere burned to theground.

“They came home toashes and foundations,”Raker said. “They lost ev-erything.”

This past fall she saidshe was with a group offriends who are all policeofficers or firefighters,and they got to talkingabout the officers, fire-fighters and paramedicsinNewYorkandNewJer-seywhowere affected bythe hurricane.

She said as they allcounted their blessings

they realized they need-ed to do something tohelp their East Coastbrethren.

“Every day they leavewhat is left of theirhomes and go to work,and every night theycome home to attempt torebuild their shatteredlives,” Raker said.

Green Township FireLt. Patrick Gunn, whoserves as president of thetownship’s firefighterunionand ishelpingorga-nize the fundraiser, said100 percent of the pro-ceeds from the event willgo to first responders inNew York and New Jer-sey who need assistance.

“These are all fire-fighters, paramedics and

police officers who hadtheir homes destroyed,”Gunn said. “We thought itwould be great to get alarge group of people to-gether and see howmuchmoney we can send theirway.”

He said the 1st Re-sponder Rescue Fund-raiser is 7 p.m. to mid-night Saturday, Feb. 23,at The Woodlands recep-tion hall, 9680 CilleyRoad.

Tickets are $25 perperson, which includesdinner, draft beer and en-tertainment by a profes-sionalDJ.The fundraiseralso features split-the-pot, a silent auction andbasket raffles.

“I think it’s a bargain

for $25,” Gunn said. “Weexpect to have at least700 people in attendance,and the more the merri-er.”

Raker said those whowant to contribute to thecause, but can’t attendthe fundraiser, can do-nate to the 1st ResponderRescue accounts at anyFirst Financial Bankbranch or the CincinnatiPolice Federal CreditUnion.

“We’ve had some real-ly great support,” shesaid. “I think we’ve beenable to put together awonderful fundraiser.”

SIGN OF THE TIMES

GREENTWP.—You could see thedisappointment on Jake Rich-mond’s face after his Highlanderslost to Sycamore 56-51, Feb. 8.

The Oak Hills senior and histeammates have battled throughmany highs and lows this season.TheHighlanders (8-12, 5-8GreaterMiami Conference) have defeatedFairfield andLakotaWest – both ofwhom are ranked in The EnquirerDivision I area coaches’ poll – buthave lost to an 8-12 Hamilton teamand a 7-13 Colerain squad.

“It definitely gets frustrating,but right now we are just still get-ting better,” Richmond said. “Eachday we are getting better and bet-ter, and it’s just a process and wejust aren’t quite there yet.”

While the Highlanders arestruggling to find consistency as ateam, Richmond is having his bestindividual season as a Highlander.He is second in theGMC in scoringat 21.3 points per game and hasscored in double digits in 17 of theHighlanders’ 20 games, including10gameswherehehasscored20ormore points.

“I think I definitely have beendoing pretty well, better than I ex-pected,” the senior said. “But thatcomes from the people I havearound me.”

His performance on the courtthis season has brought about thequestion as to whether he can playat the next level. According toRichmond, he is officially signedto play baseball at the Universityof Cincinnati next season, but bas-ketball is still in the picture.

“Yeah, it is,” Richmond saidabout basketball being a possibili-ty at the collegiate level. “It’s onmymind.”

Whilehisbasketball future isupin theair following this season, onething that is for certain is howhap-py thesenior isaboutstayinghomefor college. The self-proclaimed“momma’s boy” likes what he hasseen fromUC to this point.

“It means a lot,” Richmond saidabout staying home to play at UC.“I’mabigmomma’s boy so it’s niceto be homeandbewithmy friends.…Theoffer I got (fromUC)wasn’tbad. I like the coaches. Coach(J.D.) Heilmann and (head) coach(Brian) Cleary are great.”

Richmond still has a full highschool baseball season ahead ofhim and a few more basketballgamesastheypreparefor thepost-season.

“No doubt we can make a run,”he said. “It just matters what wewant todowith itandwhatwewantto dowith the rest of our season.…After you beat Princeton, beatFairfield (and) beat Lakota West,that’s theonlymessageyouhave tosend.Wecanbeatanybody;we justhave to go to the tournament andplay.”

Oak Hills senior Jake Richmond risesand hits a jump shot as theHighlanders 56-51 loss at SycamoreFeb. 8. Richmond, who is averaging21.3 points per game this season,finished with 21 points. TOM

Where theWest comefrom?

I have lived on the WestSide of town all my life. Frombirth until I was 14, I lived atEighth and State. We who livedthere considered that to be thelength of State Avenue anddown River Road to MountHope andWest Eighth Streetfrom the west side of MillCreek to the foot of the oldincline and up Glenway Ave-nue to Wilder avenue.

At no time did I ever consid-er myself to be from LowerPrice Hill. It was an insult.Lower Price Hill started whereGlenway andWarsawmetWilder Avenue. The way upthe two roads was Lower PriceHill and ended at Grand. Thatwas it.

East Price Hill started atElberon and State and ended atWest Eighth on top of the hilland extended about two blocksto either side of Elberon. PriceHill started at Grand and ex-

tended to Rapid Run Avenue.Form there on you were in theWestern Hills Area. It encom-passed the rest of Price Hill,Covedale, some of GreenTownship and a touch of West-wood. That is how I saw it.There was never a West PriceHill.

Some things to think about:There is a Western Hills Via-duct, Western Hills Country

Club, Western Hills HighSchool, Western Bowl, WesternHills Shopping Center, and aWestern Hills Avenue. I alsorecall Covedale Merchantsbaseball team, CovedaleSchool, Covedale Theater andCovedale Avenue. I cannotthink of anything that took thename of West Price Hill. Sowhoever coined the name andgot it installed, would you

please take the West off thephrase and go somewhere elsewith it.

Also, driving home fromjury duty this week onWestEighth, I saw the sign at Eighthand State saying welcome toLower Price Hill. It made mesad. It is still an insult.

To those of you what areengineering the destruction ofthe western side of town, Ihope you are done. Go doWestHyde Park or West MountAdams. See how they like it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

On Wednesday, Jan. 23,the Oak Hills Board ofEducation approved aresolution to place a 4.82mill emergency oper-ating levy on the May 7election ballot.

It hasbeen 16years sincethe schooldistrict hasasked vot-ers to ap-prove newrevenuefor schooloperations.We havemany par-ents, staff, and communi-ty members with little tono school levy experi-ence. In fact, the lastthree graduating classesfrom Oak Hills HighSchool never experienceda school levy during theirK-12 time with us.

Sixteen years off ofthe ballot speaks to theconservative manner inwhich we approachschool finances and dem-onstrates the outstandingfiscal management ofyour tax dollars. Thislevy will provide the OakHills school district thefunding needed to con-tinue operations at itscurrent level. We do notplan on increasing staff.We do not plan on new,elaborate programs. Wedo not plan to deviatefrom our sound fiscalpractices. Passage of thislevy will allow us to con-tinue status quo offeringa higher than averageeducation for a lowerthan average cost.

Our goal over the nextthree months is to makesure that our taxpayershave the informationthey need to make aninformed decision onMay 7. With that in mind,we have a page linkedfrom our district andbuilding websites withinformation addressingfrequently asked ques-tions. We have also post-ed a podcast to informour voters about theneed. Please visit ourwebsite at ohlsd.us. Ifyou do not have accessand would like a copy ofthe FAQ document,please call our districtoffice at 598-3200 and wewill mail you a copy.

I encourage everyoneto exercise your right tovote on May 7.

In the last Congress, I hadthe honor of serving as chair-man of the House ForeignAffairs Subcommittee on theMiddle East and South Asia.The so-called Arab Springbegan themonth I tookover as chair-man (just acoincidence Iassure you!).

It was anincredibleexperienceduring a tu-multuous peri-od in this al-ways volatileregion of the world. I had theopportunity to visit with ourbrave troops in Iraq, meet withIsraeli and Palestinian leadersin Jerusalem and the WestBank, and witness firsthandthe results of revolutions inEgypt, Yemen and Libya. Inretrospect, perhaps my sad-dest experience was spendingthe better part of two days inTripoli, Libya, with our coura-

geous ambassador, Chris Ste-vens, who would be murderedby terrorists in Benghazi, Lib-ya, one month later.

In Washington, my commit-tee held numerous substantivehearings on regional devel-opments in the Middle East,and heard testimony from keyState Department officials,scholars, and think tank pro-fessionals.

Last week, the Foreign Af-fairs Committee met for thefirst time in this new Congress,and I was formally appointedchairman of another panel –the Subcommittee on Asia andthe Pacific. It’s an assignmentthat I believe will prove to beequally interesting and chal-lenging.

It’s interesting to note thatPresident Obama announcedawhile back, with considerablefanfare, his administration’sintention to pivot U.S. attentionand resources from theMiddleEast to East Asia and the Pacif-ic. His reasoning is that as U.S.commitments in Iraq and Af-

ghanistan wind down, thwart-ing the expansionist tenden-cies of our real strategic worldrival, China, must be steppedup.

My committee will havejurisdiction over U.S. policy inan area that spans almost halfthe Earth’s surface, and con-tains more than half theworld’s population. It stretchesas far north as Mongolia, andsouth to New Zealand, fromPakistan in the west to thePacific island nations in theeast. The Asia-Pacific regionincludes countries such asIndia, the world’s largest de-mocracy; Indonesia, theworld’s largest Muslim nation;and China, the world’s mostpopulous country. And theAsian-Pacific economy ac-counts for more than 50 per-cent of world trade.

Some of the critical issues Iexpect to deal with are thefollowing.

Challenging political transi-tions in China, Japan, andSouth Korea. North Korea

continues to belligerently pushforward on its nuclear pro-gram. China continues to actaggressively toward its neigh-bors, and against Americaninfluence.

India dominates South Asiaand this democracy should be anatural ally of the UnitedStates. However, considerablework remains to improve thisrelationship.

And then there’s Pakistan.Even though we have providednearly $25 billion in aid overthe last 10 years, Pakistan re-mains an unreliable ally insuppressing Islamic extrem-ism. This relationship mustimprove as Pakistan will becritical in the Afghan reconcil-iation process.

An ancient Chinese proverbsays “May you live in interest-ing times.” That is likely to bethe case in the Asia-Pacificregion into the foreseeablefuture.

Kerosene lanterns were theonly source of light for manypeople before electricity. Theywere made from tin-platedsheet steel, or brass and cop-per. There were three types:dead-flame,hot-blast, andcold-blast.Each lampworked differ-ently.

A dead-flame lanterndrew in freshair directlybelow theburner, whilethe hot ex-haust air cameout of the top of the lantern.The hot-blast design collectedhot air from above the globeand fed it through metal sidetubes to the burner, to makethe flame burn brighter. Thecold-blast design was similarto the hot-blast lamp, but thecold fresh air was drawn infrom around the top of theglobe. Then it was fed thoughthe metal side tubes to theflame, making it burn brighter

Samuel Johnson remem-bered doing his homework by akerosene lantern that put out apale yellow light. As an adulthe looked for something better.In 1905, he found a Germankerosene mantle burner calledthe Practicus. It burned 60candles bright, but with itssingle wire mantle support,often went out of adjustment,requiring constant adjustment.And the slim chimneyscracked. So Johnson worked toimprove it.

The solution came when hefound a center-draft burnerfrom the Plume and AtwoodManufacturing Co. of Water-bury, Conn. Now he was readyto manufacture his own lamps,which he named Aladdin, forthe famous story Aladdin,where a magician offered newlamps for old. The companystarted off with model 1withthree table lamp versions, twohanging lamp versions, a wallmounted lamp and an oil potlamp because the tooling wasalready there and the parts.

The initial sales of the Alad-din lamp blew all other lamps

out of the water, and madethem obsolete. The Interna-tional Exposition in San Fran-cisco firmly established theMantle Lamp Co. as the domi-nant leader in the field. John-son opened a small researchdepartment and the companyconstantly came out with newdevelopments in illuminationand safety.

World War I stopped ship-ments of the German-madeburners, wicks, mantles andchimneys. By the war’s endonly a few companies were leftusing American made parts.Aladdin was a leader in mar-keting and was always offeringnew promotions.

By 1919, the electrificationof homes began to eat intoSamuel Johnson’s profit, thecompany needed products thatwould sell year around. John-son formed Aladdin Industriesto make vacuum technologyproducts. And he opened of-fices in other countries to sellhis products. His lamps be-came a seasonal item. In 1926,TheMantle Lamp Co. boughtthe Lippincott Glass Co. in

Alexandria, Ind., and built anew factory, where they couldnowmanufacture the wholelamp.

DuringWorld War II Alad-din contributed to the wareffort. Electrification of homesstopped because of a coppershortage, so Aladdin lampswere used. The Aladdin kero-sene burner powered the Ser-vel and Electrolux refrigera-tion units which preservedserum and plasma on the bat-tlefields.

V. S. Johnson died 1943, andhis son V. S. Johnson Jr. tookover. The company is still inbusiness today headquarteredin Nashville, Tenn., producingAladdin thermos bottles. Theproduction of Aladdin lampsceased in 1956. Fifteen modelsof Aladdin lamps have beenmade in the United Statessince 1909. Many of them arecollector’s items.

So much happening inFebruary! It’s HeartMonth, Lent starts, Val-entine’s Day is here andso is Presidents’ Day.

Let’sstart withsomethingfor Valen-tine’s Daysince thatis one ofmy favor-ite specialdays.When Iwas a kid,sweets

were a real treat, due inpart to Mom’s lean bud-get and her and my Dad’sdesire to feed the nine ofus children a healthydiet. So when I was 16and received my firstValentine box of candyfrommy boyfriend, Jim,I was in chocolate heav-en. I’ve gotten lots ofValentine’s treats sincethen, but none can takethe place of that firstheart of drugstore choco-lates.

Reach out this Valen-tine’s Day by remember-ing those folks whowould benefit from a funcard, a phone call or aplate of goodies.

“I love you”chocolate coveredcherries

These are amazinglyeasy to make and lookstunning in a heartshaped box. This recipeis appropriate for Presi-dents’ Day, too. Remem-ber the story of GeorgeWashington admitting tochopping down his Dad’scherry tree because hecouldn’t “tell a lie.”

1 jar l0 oz., maraschinocherries with stems

Drain cherries very well forseveral hours. Theymustbe dry for fondant toadhere.

Fast FondantNot a true fondant, but aneasy one. You’ll havefondant leftover. Freezefondant up to amonth.

3 tablespoons butter,softened

3 tablespoons light cornsyrup

2 cups powdered sugar12 ounces or so meltedchocolate

Mix butter and syrup,then mix in powderedsugar. It will look a bitdry but will come togeth-er as you knead itsmooth. If too soft to

handle, chill for 15 min-utes. (Mixture can alsobe made a week aheadand brought to roomtemperature). Shape 1⁄2 tol teaspoon mixturearound each cherry, fit-ting the fondant closelyto the cherry, enclosingthe base of the stem aswell. Roll in your palmsto smooth fondant. Place

on baking sheet and chilluntil firm. This is neces-sary for the chocolate toadhere. Melt chocolate.Let cool a bit – chocolatewill be still be warm andvery liquid. Dip cherryinto chocolate. Seal com-pletely or juice couldleak out. Place onsprayed baking sheet.Chill until firm.

To store: Store intightly covered containerin frig. Bring to roomtemperature before eat-ing.

Cake pops: Recipe onmy blog. Fun for kids.Check out photo ofgrandson, Jack, deco-rating cake pops hemade.

Heart healthyvegetarian redbeans and rice

When you pair ricewith beans, you have anice, protein filled dish.Try brown rice which isnutritionally better thanwhite. It will take longerto cook, and is absorbedmore slowly in your sys-tem you feel full longer.

1generous cup choppedonion

1generous teaspoon garlic,minced

1-2 teaspoons cumin1 teaspoon chili powder ormore to taste

2 cups rice2 cans, approx. 16 ouncesea., red beans, drained

4 cups low sodium, fat freevegetable or chickenbroth

Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish: Thinly sliced greenonions, chopped tomatoes

Film bottom of panwith olive oil. Add every-thing but beans andbroth. Cook over mediumheat until garlic smellsfragrant. Don’t let onionsand garlic get brown. Stirin beans and broth. Coverand lower to a simmerand cook until rice istender.

Tip from Rita’s kitch-en: Beans are calledcancer-licking legumes –high in fiber and proteinand low in fat.

What about salt? Toomuch is bad for theheart! Himalayan pinksea salt is my salt ofchoice. Absolutely pure,sans toxins or any otherbad stuff, unlike othersalts that we commonlyuse. Check out my blogfor timely info on thispretty and tasty salt.

Gardening sessions along the Delhi hillside

The winter and springtypically brings exces-sive precipitation. Forhomeowners, this seasoncan mean wet or dampbasements and/or crawlspaces.

In many cases, theseissuesmay beresolvedwithsomeeconomi-cal cor-rections,but thehome-ownershouldget thecorrect

professional advice be-fore spending thousandsof dollars for unneces-sary repairs. Since I havebeen inspecting homesfor over 15 years and9,000 inspections, I haveseen many expensiveimproper repairs andhave heard tremendousamounts of bad informa-tion provided by some ofthe foundation repair andwaterproofing compa-nies.

Some of the contrac-tors use scare tactics andtell homeowners thefoundation is about tocollapse and you mustsign their contract now.Foundations that areabout to collapse willhave major cracks, suchas 1-inch or wider, or thewalls may have bulged orleaned inward 3 inches or4 inches or more. It isnormal for basementslabs to crack, and theslab normally is slightlyraised at the crack due toslab curl, a normal con-crete curing process.This does not confirmthat water is under theslab or soil has washedout from under the slab.Storm water under theslab is fairly uncommon.

Contractors some-times use a hammer totap the top of the base-ment slab along the foun-dation wall. If the slabhas curled, this will re-sult in a hollow soundunder the slab. Thehomeowner is told thesoil has washed out fromunder the slab. Sincemost basement slabs are

placed on top of the foot-ing, there is no soil underthe slab along the founda-tion wall to wash out. Thehollow sound is due toslab curl, which slightlylifts the slab from thefooting. If the slab istapped away from thefoundation wall, the slabprobably doesn’t have ahollow sound.

If a waterproofingcompany uses test stripsto prove the house has amold issue, become verywary of them. Some com-panies use these pre-sumed sampling methodsand tell you this confirmsthere is a mold problem.This most likely is ascam to scare you. Allmolds are not a healthconcern. Only a certifiedmold expert should ad-vise you on mold issues,not the contractor sellinga waterproofing system.

A typical moisturecontrol method mayinclude installing fi-berglass reinforced pan-els over foundationcracks to drain the leakinto an under-slab drainline connected to a sump

pump. This method doescover the crack, buthides what is happeningbehind the panels, isconducive to moldgrowth and doesn’t ad-dress the cause of thecrack. The installation ofan under-slab drain pipeand sump pump for con-crete foundation walls isprobably a waste of mon-ey. Concrete leaks only inrare occasions. Concretefoundation walls can leakat cracks. Concrete blockand stone foundationsare more susceptible toleaking through the wall.

Some economicalrepairs may include:

1 – Regrading the yardto slope away from thefoundation.

2 – Regrading the yardto redirect storm waterrunoff before it gets nearthe foundation.

3 – Repairing leakingdownspout piping.

4 – Repairing founda-tion cracks.

Free estimates fromcontractors can be veryexpensive if you sign acontract without knowingthe cause of the leaks.

Get the solution from aprofessional engineerand then have the repaircompleted.

Why would someonesend a check for severalthousand dollars to atotal stranger?

Al-though itsoundscrazy, ithappensevery day.But if youget onethosechecks anddeposit ityou couldend up

losing thousands of dol-lars.

Sending checks tostrangers has been goingon for years with thesender giving a widevariety of reasons for thecheck. But all thesescams have one thing in

common – the checksthey send you are phonyand the money you are tosend themwill be real.

Katelin Willman ofBrookville received oneof these checks after sheadvertised for a job onthe Internet.

“I’ve received severaldifferent job offers. Mostof them seem to bescams but this one inparticular told me I couldadvertise on my car so itseemed really good, easymoney. All I have to do isdrive around,” Willmansaid.

Willman told thatemailer she was interest-ed.

“All of a sudden hesent me a check in themail for more than$2,400. The job offer was

only for like $300. Itseemed a little fishy tome and that’s when Icontacted you,” Willmansaid.

I asked if she wassupposed to keep theextra $2,100 as some kindof advance on her salary,but she said no. Willmansaid she was told, “Put itin my bank account, thenget a money order for theextra money and send itout.”

“The check lookedlegitimate and real but itjust sounded weird,”Willman said.

Another sign this wasa scam is the senderdidn’t enclose the placardwith the ad that was to beplaced on the side of hercar. All she received wasthe phony check. It

seems very clear all thesender was interested inwas the money.

WhenWillmanemailed the sender say-ing she knew it was ascam, he wrote back.

“He said the FBI wasafter me because Icashed their check and Ibetter send the money orelse they’re going tocome after me… The sadthing is a lot of peopleare going to fall for it andthey’re going to havetheir bank accountsdrained,” Willman said.

Unfortunately, Will-man is correct; a lot ofpeople have fallen forthis scam. In fact, theFederal Trade Commis-sion says fake checks arebeing used in a growingnumber of fraudulent

schemes, including se-cret shopper scams, for-eign lottery scams, checkoverpayment scams andInternet auction scams.

That’s why, eventhough it cost the scam-mer nearly $19 for ex-press mail postage inWillman’s case, he canafford to pay it. He sendsout lots of these phonychecks and, even if only ahandful of recipients fallfor the scam, he canmake a lot of money.

Sometimes the phonychecks look like legiti-mate cashier’s checks orpostal money orders, butthey are never real. In allcases you are told todeposit the check intoyour bank account. Thenyou must send them yourgood money via Western

Union or Money Gram –and that money can’t betraced. In fact, thethieves can pick up themoney at just about anylocation, often outsidethe United States.

Phony checks can takeweeks to discover andyou are responsible forany funds you withdrawfrom the bank againstthat check. Remember,once you sign the back ofa check and deposit it,the bank will hold youresponsible if that checkdoesn’t clear.

Well, we’ve had snow,so as far as I’m con-cerned, all snow bunniesshould be happy for thenext year.

Duringtheseshort,drearywinterdays thememory ofa gorgeousNovembermorningtakes meback to atime ofsunshine and brightlycolored leaves. Volun-teers from Valley Tem-ple in Wyoming came torake my leaves andclean my gutters.

Saturday is their Sab-bath, so they arrived onSunday right on the dot.They were kind enoughto agree to let me take aphoto, and Jeannie Hill-er interrupted her busyschedule to share in-formation.

Valley Temple, once aschool for Judaism, nowhas a laundry list ofsocial activism. If youlook at their websiteyou’ll find that they doeverything from cook-ing and serving at theOver-The-Rhine SoupKitchen, to providinghandmade blankets forhospitals, babies, teens,fire and police depart-ments and sheltersaround the city, as wellas reaching out to thosewithin the Jewish faith.You would be surprisedat the number of events

the Temple hosts in-cluding pre-school class-es and the Valley In-terfaith Food and Cloth-ing Mitzvah Bag FoodDrive.

They helped methrough the work theydo for People WorkingCooperatively. Theyparticipate in a rakeweekend, a city-wideevent sponsored by PWCheld in November whereJeannie once volun-teered. When she be-came active on ValleyTemple’s Social ActionCommittee, she got theTemple involved. Jean-nie asked to serve Woo-dlawn because it is soclose to the Temple.

Volunteers usuallyrake for two or threehours and can get threeto four yards done. For15 years she haswatched children whoparticipated grow upand pass volunteeringlessons on to their chil-dren. Jeannie’s ownthree children, now ages23, 27 and 30 have bene-fitted greatly from thebiblical teaching ofplanting, watering andthus increasing by gooddeeds.

Jeannie says, “TheTemple talks about giv-ing back to the commu-nity all the time. Rabbin-ic interns usually staytwo years while learningto become a rabbi, andone of the things theyhelp with is the youthgroup. Usually seventh-and eighth-graders rake,but sometimes high

school kids help. If thefamily has younger chil-dren, they gladly pitchin. Parents and childrenget good feelings fromtheir deeds. All kids takelife lessons from volun-teering. It is importantfor me to be active in mycommunity.

“It is important toteach young people togive back. In Hebrew,the words “TikkunOlam” mean 'repairingthe world' and one wayto do this is by doingMitzvot – which meanscommandments, but italso means good deeds.In Judaism we believethat is very important.”

Jeannie grew up inDelhi Townhip. Herhusband is fromMem-phis and they have beenmembers of Valley Tem-ple for 33 years. Jeannieis a jewel. Sweet enoughto call me ahead of time,she didn’t know that Ineeded my gutterscleaned, and I didn’tknow that the group wasonly coming to rakeleaves.

She said she wouldsee what she could do,and doggone if she didn’tshow up with a full crewplus equipment and herneighbor’s ladder. Theywere great! Everyonewas enthusiastic andfinished in no time flat.And, what a professionaljob! Then it was off tothe next yard.

» Delhi Township: Chief Jim Howarth, 922-0060» Cincinnati District 3: Capt. Russell A. Neville, 263-8300

Dick and Ginny Te-noever attribute a happymarriage tounconditionallove and faith in God andon Feb. 14 the couple willcelebrate their 60th wed-ding anniversary.

“Wewant it to be some-thing small,” Ginny Te-noever, 85, said. “We justwant it to be just family.”

But with six children,15 grandchildren and sixgreat-grandchildren itwill be anything but asmall affair.

The Delhi Townshipresidents first met on ablind date.

“There are two sto-ries,” Ginny said. “Dick’sfirst wife died and mymother-in-law and Dickwere praying that hewould findamate forhim-self and a mother for histwo kids. I was about 23. Iwasn’t married and I wasconsidered an ‘old maid,’so my mother and I werepraying to the Infant ofPrague that I would find agood husband.”

She said it was eitherthe Infant of Prague ormutual friends who setthem up, but either wayshe was glad they met.

Ginny laughed as sheremembered their firstreal date together. Shesaid theywent to see aMaand Pa Kettle movie andthen had a drink.

Their whirlwind ro-mance found the two at

the altar just nine monthsafter they met.

“You were really afterme,” Dick, 88, said andsmiled an playful grin.

Dick proposed to Gin-ny on Thanksgiving in1952, and they were mar-ried Feb. 14, 1953, at Res-urrection Church in PriceHill.

“I always teased whenI was growing up that Iwanted to be married onValentine’sDay and it justsohappenedthat thatyearValentine’s Day was on aSaturday,” she said.

Sixty years later thecouple flips through theirwedding album. Everypicturehasa storyandev-ery story is a memory.

“We found a hall abovea fire station on WarsawAvenue,” she said abouttheir wedding reception.“We had a bartender whogotdrunkbefore the thingeven started. We had toget one of my brother’sfriends to tap a keg andserve the beer. A lot oftimes the families wouldjust make things and

bring it to the reception. Itwasn’t like it is nowa-days.”

Ginny pulled out a pho-to album which includedpictures from their hon-eymoon to PotawatomiInn at Pokagon State Parkin Indiana.

“The room was $90 aweek including threemeals. Boy, I thought Iwas so rich. I get to goaway for a whole week,”she said. “But when wegot there the roomwas sosmall. It had a bed againstthewall, one littlewindowin it andwehadtogodownthehall, like theydo incol-lege, to go to the bath-room.”

She said that even asmall room couldn’t dam-per their spirits.

“Dick looked out thewindow and said, ‘It’ssnowing,’” Ginny said. “Ididn’t know if hewas teas-ing ornot. It snowed sowewere able to go toboggan-ing, skiing and ice skat-ing. They didn’t have apair of ice skates bigenough for Dick, because

he wears a size 13, so hecouldn’t go ice skating.Bythe time we went homethe snow was gone. Theyhad that snow and tobog-gan just for us.”

Fornearlyanhour they

shared their memoriesfrom raising four girlsand twoboys to family va-cations to tips for a long-lasting marriage.

“Never say no,” Dickjoked.

But he said faith in theLord will ensure a goodmarriage.

“The Lord’s been goodto us,” he said. “Alwayskeep the good Lord inyour life.”
