'Cat Lady’ provides gift of sightOAKLEY — Several formerly

sightless kittens are in need ofhelp.

Cheryl Franklin, owner ofConfetti Cats, is seeking dona-tions to cover the costs for eyesurgery to help restore the vi-sion of several stray kittens.

The five-month-old kittens,whose names are Riley, Reaganand Remi, were born with a ge-netic abnormality in which partof their upper eyelids weremissing. If untreated the condi-tion can eventually lead toblindness or eye loss.

Franklin, who is also knownas “The Cat Lady,” was alertedto thecats’ plightbyacustomer,who was unable to cover the

costs involved for surgery. Thecats also have a heart condition,which will also hopefully betreated.

The surgery for each kittenwill cost several hundred dol-lars. A local veterinarian of-fered to do the surgery at a re-duced cost.

At this point, Franklin, work-ing with an organization calledSave Cats and Obliterate Over-Populatiuon Inc., has raisedmore than $1,5000.

Additional donations willcover the costs to treat the cats’heartconditionsaswell asongo-ing evaluations.

Asked why she stepped for-ward to help Franklin said itwasn’t a difficult decision.

The animals needed immedi-ate help, she said, adding that

often animals don’t have an ad-vocate in an emergency.

“In this case, Iwanted to (be)an advocate,” she said.

Remi has already beenadopted. Franklin said shehopes the other cats, once treat-ed, are adopted as well.

However, she said that thecats may eventually end up be-ing “residents” at the store.

Save Cats and ObliterateOverPopulation Inc. is involvedin an online fundraiser to helpthekittenscalledChipIn.For in-formation visit the websitewww.scoopcat.org or visit themon Facebook.

Mariemont City SchoolsTreasure Natalie Lucas plans toretire, and the district’s Boardof Education is expected to re-hire her in February.

Lucashas 30years of servicein public education –25 of thosewith the Mariemont schools–and was eligible for retirementin January.

She said her decision to re-

tire had nothingto do with theschool district orthe recentchanges toOhio’spension system.

Lucas’ cur-rent salary is$110,212 and herhealth benefits

are $12,250.Shewill be rehired at a lower

salary, which is not yet deter-mined, and thatwill savemoney

for the school district’s taxpay-ers, said Superintendent PaulImhoff.

“Those who refer to double-dipping often thinkwe continueto pay a salary and also issue re-tirement checks, and this is notthe case. The board only paysNatalie’s reduced salary.”

Her retirement checks arefunded by money she earnedand deposited, and will comefrom the state’s School Employ-ees Retirement System, not the

school district, Imhoff said.The retire/rehire process

was initiated in December, andstate lawrequiresapublichear-ing within 60 days. That isscheduled for 5:30 p.m. Tues-day, Feb.12, prior to the regularBoard of Education meeting atMariemont Elementary, 6750Wooster Pike.

Before Lucas can be rehiredby the Board of Education, heremployment must be severedfor a full 24 hours, and the

Board will appoint a temporarytreasurer to take her place.They will conduct a specialmeetingonThursday,Feb.28, toconsider a resolution for Lucas’re-employment.

“I’m just gratified that we’regoing to be able to continue tomake use of her expertise,”Board of Education memberBill Flynn said in December.

“She’s invaluable to the oper-ations of this district and whatwe try to accomplish.”

It’s been years in the making, butLinwood Avenue in Mt. Lookout isstarting to get safer for residents.

Muchof thechange that’s starting totake shape is because of PJ Daley, whowas recently selected as the Mt. Look-out Community Council’s Citizen of theYear.

Daley,whohas lived onLinwoodAv-enuefor16years, said theawardwasanunexpected honor.

“It’s been very frustrating through-out this process, and to see things com-ing together and get recognized (formy efforts) makes it more meaning-ful,” he said. “But themostmeaningfulthing would be to see this stuff get tak-entocompletionandhaveitsave lives.”

Traffic, speeding vehicles and acci-dents have always been a problem inthe stretch of Linwood Avenue be-tween the Beechmont Levee and Mt.Lookout square.

After seeing a multitude of wrecksand spinouts, Daley started taking pic-tures of the accidents about a decadeago. He went to the city of Cincinnatiwith his concerns, but was getting no-where.

Though he was frustrated with cityinactionand lackofpolicepatrol,Daleykept documentingwhatwas happeningon Linwood Avenue. But it was in inci-dent in late 2009 that propelled him topush even harder for change.

An elderly relativewas stayingwiththe family at the time, and Daley hadbeen in the driveway helping her.Shortly after they went inside, a carspun out around the bend 400 feet fromtheir house, careened across the drive-way, went through two trees and endedup in their neighbor’s yard.

When the driver got out and sawtherewasn’t anydamage to thevehicle,Daley said they backed up and droveaway.

peatedly you start to seesomething is wrong andyou recognize it a littlemore,” he said. “All of asudden we became veryvulnerable. At that pointit’s like, I’m not stoppinguntil something is done.”

Following that inci-dent, Daley kept pushingcity officials to makechanges to Linwood Ave-nue. He shared photos,documented speeds witha laser gun, and recruitedhis neighbors — manywhoalsowitnessed or hadpropertydamagebecauseof accidents — to sharetheir stories.

Finally, with some helpfrom the Mt. LookoutCommunity Council lead-ers, the city traffic engi-neers developed a plan tomake Linwood Avenuesafer. The first part —lowering the speed to 30mph — took place last

year.However, within a

week of the new speedlimit signs going up, Da-ley said a car hit one signand knocked it down. Thecity still hasn’t replacedit, he said.

“There is a lot of frus-tration here, but I stillhave some optimism leftthat the right thingwill bedone,” he said.

“It’s baby steps, butthis is what we need. It’smoving in the right direc-tion.”

City plans for LinwoodAvenue call for designat-ed on-street parkingareas, a center lane forleft-hand turns, minorchanges to the traffic pat-

terns and the reduced 30mph speed limit.

While those elementswill help, Daley said theystill need crosswalks,amped up police patrolsand flashing radar signsto indicate a driver’sspeed.

Mt. LookoutCommuni-ty Council President JohnBrannock praised Daleyfor his work on this issueduring the award presen-tation in December.

“This will make Lin-wood safer for the resi-dents and a nicer street ingeneral,” Brannock said.

“We want to make itsafer and slow down thetraffic.”

Mariemont contends for CHL titleMARIEMONT — The youth

movement on the MariemontHigh School girls basketballteamhas a lot to dowith the La-dy Warriors’ turnaround sea-son.

After going 8-13 last season,this version of the squad is infirst place of the CincinnatiHills League with a mark of11-4 (though Jan. 18).

The Warriors dropped theirfirst three games to start theyear before ripping off 11 con-secutive victories.

The fact therearekey fresh-men contributing to the team’ssuccess, might lead casual ob-servers to believe there’s alack of experience on floor.

And while freshmen, suchas Hannah Krieger and OliviaGriffith, might not have a tonof varsity minutes under theirbelt, they’ve played extensive

minutes at the AAU level.“Thecompetition fromAAU

has really prepared them forthe CHL,” saidWarriors’ coachJohn Weilbacher. “There’sreally four kids playing AAUball and Mariemont hasn’t hadthat for a few years.”

Krieger recently opened upa lot of eyeswith a 30-point per-formance during Mariemont’s51-48 victory at Taylor Jan. 9.

Krieger is the team’s lead-ing scorer, and is averaging10.5 points per game.

“Hannah’s made a tremen-dous impact,”Weilbacher said.“She’s always trying to get tothe rim and force the action.”

Her freshman teammate,Griffith, is averaging 7.7points and 2.6 assists per con-test.

The squad’s also gettingcontributions from sophomoreJulia Whittelsey, who is thirdon the team is scoring with 8.7points.

At forward, 5-foot-10 juniorMeredith Garrison is provingto be a force around the basket.

Garrison is second on theteam in scoringwith10.4 pointsper game. Her 4.3 blocks percontest are a league best.

At the halfway point, theWarriors have suffered someinjuries along the way, buthave been able to battlethrough, thanks to the effort ofgirls such as junior Ally Crolland sophomore Haley Jacobs,according to Weilbacher.

While the squad’s winningstreak came to an end with a 1-point loss to Wyoming, Jan. 12,the LadyWarriors remained inthe driver’s seat.

“(Winning theCHL) is oneofour goals we set to start theyear. The Wyoming loss hurt,but we still control our owndestiny,” Weilbacher said. “Itwould be a great accomplish-ment, being soyoungandbeingable to do that…”

Even in close games withinthe ECC, the Eagles eventuallyfly away.

season to teams thatplayed faster.

Accordingly, he adapt-ed what former Arkansascoach Nolan Richardsonmade famous in the ’90s.The defensive pressurewas coined, “Forty min-utes of hell.”

“There you go!” Hillsaid. “Instead of the 40minutes, it’s 32 minutes!”

An example of the Ea-gles’ constant torment isthat three players are inthe top five in the ECC insteals. Hill’s own son, Ri-cardo, leads the team, fol-lowed by 6-foot-6 D.J.Wingfield and anothersenior, Sterling Gilmore.

In terms of veteran ex-

perience, the Eagles have12 seniors on the roster.Their regular rotationgoes 10-11 deep. Many onthesquadwould’veplayedmore minutes elsewhere,but selected Walnut Hillsfor thecombinationofath-letics and academics.

“To win a champion-ship, you’ve got to belucky,” Hill said. “Youhave to be able to playmultiple styles. It doesn’thurt us to have that big 6-9monster down there tothrow it in to if someoneslows us down.”

Hill is referring to his280-pound senior centerIsaiah Johnson, who typi-cally records a double-double for theEagles. TheAkron Zips commit hasactually seen his rebound-ing numbers go down, butonly because the Eagles

have added 6-foot-10 sen-iors Jordan Tyson andWingfield this season.They also have 6-foot-6senior Kodey Jackson.

In the prep land of 6-foot-3 centers, the WalnutHills layup line is as in-timidating as they come.

The most dangerousEaglemight beWingfield.As has been well docu-mented, he is the son offormer University of Cin-cinnati standout DontonioWingfield. Three inchesshorter thanhisfather, thefuture Ohio Bobcat is aslightly different player.

“He has the capabilitytoplay theone throughthefour position,” Hill said.“He can do it all. His big-gest asset is his ability tosee the floor. He sees theplay develop before it de-velops.”

For the remainder of2013, theproverbial targetis firmly affixed to theback of the Walnut Hillsjerseys. Hill has alsoupped the ante on theschedule as the Eagleshave had recent non-con-ference games with LaSalle, Sycamore, a NewJersey powerhouse andPrinceton in less than aweek.

“It’s exciting,” Hillsaid. “We’ve been gettinggreat fan support. Thealumni have been comingout. The guys are lovingit.”

by the fire on a cold winter’snight, consider the effects onair quality before lighting afire. Wood-burning producessmoke containing fine parti-cles called particulate matter(PM) that can affect the lungsand heart. Long-term PMexposure can cause a varietyof health issues such as:

» Aggravated asthma» Decreased lung function» Irregular heartbeat» Development of chronic

bronchitis» Increased

respiratorysymptoms,includingirritation ofthe airways,coughing anddifficultybreathing.

If you dochoose to usea fireplace,

always use dry, well-seasonedwood to reduce the amount of

PM released.If you are burning out-

doors, check with your localfire department to determineyour community’s regulations.Where you live may deter-mine whether you can burn.Certain items can never beburned including:

» Garbage»Materials containing

rubber, grease and asphalt»Materials made from

petroleum (such as tires, carsand auto parts, plastics, or

Last week’s questionShould the U.S. leave a small

number of troops in Afghanistanafter 2014, when the currentNATO combat mission ends, orshould it remove all troops,known as the "zero-option"?

“I am a little hesitant to an-swer this question, because I donot have the expertise that isneeded to make the decision.My inclination is to vote forpulling everyone out. We willnever make Afghanistan likethe US, and our people are indanger from terrorist attacksover there all the time.

“We cannot police the entireworld, even thoughsometimes Iwish we could do that in placeslike Syria, Iran, Mali, and evenPakistan. We are not going toeliminate the threat from radi-cal Islam, nomatterwhat we dobecause their basic goal isworld domination, for whatthey consider a 'worthy cause.'

“All we can do, if we removeour troops, is pray and hope forthe best.”

Bill B.

“If a large amount of troopshas done no goodwhywouldweleave a small amount of troops?Afghanistan is a hellhole andwill always be. We need to getour troops out of harms way to-day, not in 2014.”

D.D.

“Idon't think itwillmakeanydifference whether Americaleaves troops inAfghanistan af-ter 2014 or pulls every soldierout tomorrow. Regardless ofwhat America does Afghani-stan will revert to Taliban con-trol and its current leader Kar-zai flees that nation with bil-lions of dollars plundered fromits treasury and reaped fromthe opium trade.

“Hasn't it occurredtoanyonethat since George W. Bush sup-posedly restored Democracy toAfghanistan that Karzai hasbeen its only ruler? It fits thesame pattern as Egypt, the for-mer Soviet Union, Cuba, Pana-ma and other nations that wefalsely believe to be democrat-ic.

“All that is accomplished is anew dictator takes over and theabuses and plunder continueunabated. Why have our sol-diers die for that?”

R.V.

“Ideally I would want allthose troops to come home. Ihave special reason for this sen-timent. My nephew, a U.S.Army Lt. (82nd Airborne) cur-rently in Ranger School, isscheduled for deployment toAfghanistan late 2013-early2014.

“However, I think we need abase of support there for mon-itoring.My fear is that al Qaeda

will return to set up trainingcamps and pick up where binLaden left off. Iwish I knewof adecent exit strategy.”

T.B.

“If the combat mission ends,it ends. Get our troops out ofthere and put a cap on it!”

O.H.R.

“My opinion is that the zerooption is the only option. Thishas been the longest war inU.S.history. It has left many mili-taryfamiliesshatteredbydeathof family members and multi-ple deployments of their lovedones. The U.S. public is largelyuninformed and at worst apa-thetic towards the war.”

“It is timetogivethemilitarypersonnel a peace and reprievefrom fighting, especially in acountry that can never be unit-ed or brought to a peaceful gov-ernmental solution.”

I.P.

“I would say NO to the ‘zerooption,’ but also there are twovery important groups of peo-ple who should be asked aboutthis before anything is definite.

“Our troops in Afghanistanshould be asked, not a suit inWashington;andthewomenandchildren of Afghanistan shouldbe asked, notKarzaiwho is onlyinterested in his poppy fields.”

For the past severaldays, I’ve been testingrecipes for classicstews, including chick-en fricassee and beefbourguignon. I’m in thetweaking stage for abeef stew that has anolive butter swirl in it.When it gets to the “oh

my goshthis isperfect”stage, I’llbe onehappycook.Mean-while,your re-questshave beenfor any-

thing but long-cooking,gourmet food. I agreeit’s good to have mealsthat are quick, appeal-ing and not budget-busting. Here’s some totry.

Quick sloppy JoesFor the mom who

wanted to make a bar-becue-type sandwichfor her preschooler butdidn’t want somethingreal spicy. This freezeswell. This is good onslider buns topped withslaw for Super Bowlparties as well. Or putin a fondue pot andserve with Frito scoopsor tortilla chips.

1pound lean ground beef1⁄4 cup diced onion or moreto taste

1 diced bell pepper(optional)

12 oz. bottle chili sauceBrown sugar to taste: Startwith 3 tablespoons and gofrom there

Sauté beef, onion andbell pepper until beef iscooked. Add remainingingredients. Bring to agentle boil, lower to asimmer for a few min-utes.

Ellen’s orzo-roniEllen Mueller is my

Greek cooking buddy atJungle Jim’s. We teach

Lebanese/Greek menustogether and joke thatour moms and aunts areup in heaven arguingabout whose food isbetter. Here’s a com-forting pasta dish thatEllen says her girls,Maggie and Alex, askfor on a regular basis.“Better than the boxedstuff,” she told me.Orzo is rice-shapedpasta sometimes calledrosemarina.1⁄4 cup butter1 small onion, finely diced1garlic clove, minced4 oz. sliced creminimushrooms

1 cup orzo4 oz. spaghetti broken intothirds

4 cups low sodium chickenbroth

3 tablespoons choppedparsley

Salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in skillet.Add onion and sautéuntil translucent. Addgarlic and cook anotherminute. Add mush-rooms and cook untilsoft and juices havereleased. Add orzo andspaghetti and coat wellwith butter. Add broth,stir, bring to boil. Coverand reduce to simmer.Simmer 15 minutes oruntil most of liquid isabsorbed. Add parsleyand season. Ellen says itwill be a little saucy,which is what you want.

Blender bananabread

This is the mostmoist and deliciousbanana bread I’ve madein a long time. I have a“tastes like Bob Evans”banana bread recipe onmy blog (Cincin-nati.Com/blogs) thatuses half as much but-ter as oil, along withbuttermilk, and that’s agood one, too. The onething I will tell you,though, is for any ba-nana bread to tastegood, the bananas haveto be really ripe, like

black-speckled ripe, forthe bread to have agood, sweet bananaflavor. If you don’t havea blender, you can dothis by hand.

3 very ripe bananas whirledin blender to make 1 cuppuree

1 cup vegetable oil2 large eggs2 teaspoons vanilla11⁄2 cups flour1 cup sugar1 teaspoon baking soda1⁄2 teaspoon salt1 cup walnuts, chopped inblender (optional)

Little bit of sugar forsprinkling on top(optional)

Brush a loaf pan withsoft butter or spraywith cooking spray.Preheat oven to 350degrees. To puree inblender add oil, eggsand vanilla. Whirl untilblended. Whisk flour,sugar, soda, salt andnuts together in bowl.Pour banana mixtureover dry ingredientsand mix just untilblended. Don’t overmix. Pour into pan,sprinkle with extrasugar, and bake 45 min-utes or so until centersprings back whenlightly pressed. Cool onrack a few minutesbefore removing frompan.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Refrigerate or freezeripe bananas! The skinwill turn black, butinside will be creamyyellow. Mix nuts withflour mixture so theystay suspended in yourbaked goods and don’tsink to the bottom.
