Columbia Tusculum plans tospend $10,000 from the city ofCincinnati to beautify the neigh-borhood.

Community Council membersvoted to use $4,000 from the city’sNeighborhood Support Programto maintain and beautify severalspots along Columbia Parkway,Eastern and Stanley avenues andtwo small parks on Airport Road.

The remaining $1,000 will beused for supplies during theGreat American Cleanup in thespring and Make A DifferenceDay in the fall.

Community Council PresidentMatt Ackermann said they’regetting bids from landscapingcompanies to mulch, spray andweed the nearly 140 tree wells inthe neighborhood and for mainte-nance at the small parks.

“It really does a lot for ourneighborhood,” he said of thebeautification efforts.

If the landscaping bids comein low, Ackermann said the com-munity council can amend itsplans to redirect funds else-

where.The city of Cincinnati also

gave Columbia Tusculum $5,000from the Neighborhood BusinessDistrict Support Fund to use onprojects in the central businessdistrict.

Ackermann suggested usingthat money to hire a landscaper toclean up the medians along Co-lumbia Parkway and Delta Ave-nue.

Volunteers tried to maintainthe medians in the past, but Ack-ermann said it hasn’t workedwell. The medians currently have

a few trees and barberry bushes,but the traffic and salt have hadan adverse effect on the plants.Ackermann suggested leavingthe trees and installing pavers inthe other parts of the medians.

Arlene Golembiewski agreedand said they should look at some-thing more practical for thoseareas. “Not many plants can sur-vive that environment,” she said.

Kellie Pittroff, of GreenerStock on Columbia Parkway, saidthey could use lava rock, whichwould be cheaper than pavers,easier to maintain and still allow

water to drain into the median.Community council members

voted to look at alternatives forthe medians and agreed the pro-ject could be spread out over twoyears, depending on the cost.

Every neighborhood commu-nity council in the city receivesthe Neighborhood Support Pro-gram money, and those with busi-ness districts receive additionalfunding.

The amount each communityreceives has been cut in the pastfew years, but was doubled in2012 to $5,000 for each program.

Oakley is solidifying itsefforts to prevent crime inthe area.

Last year a local watchgroup was formed calledOakley Crime Reportingand Prevention.

In recent months thegroup has considered dif-ferent options to help makethe area safer.

These include installingvideo cameras, a crime re-porting network amongmembers and communityoutreach.

“Communication is vitalto us being proactive,” saidOakley Community Coun-cil member Craig Rozen.“People say we don’t havemurders and aggravatedassault, but it doesn’t ne-gate that we have crime.”

Rozen is head of Oak-ley’s Traffic, Safety and Pe-destrian Friendliness Sub-committee.

During the Februarymeeting, members of Oak-ley Crime Reporting andPrevention provided an up-date.

Member Scott Whitlocksaid open air drug deals in

the community seem to beon the rise.

“Police don’t have theresources to invest intracking these people,” hesaid. “We need to identifythese people and discour-age them from coming.”

Mobile cameras postedat undisclosed locationshave helped documentsome of these crimes.

A lot of Oakley Crime’soutreach is via regularcommunication amongmembers.

To receive text updatesand to be alerted to videoswhich have been posted,

contact Whitlock at [email protected].

Oakley CommunityCouncil member Tom Frey,who is also one of the foun-ders of Oakley Crime Re-porting and Prevention,said more participationfrom residents is needed.

“We need people whocan track crime reports,”he said.

Frey said a proactive ap-proach is to put pressure onthe landlords of problemproperties.

“People are recognizingOakley is serious aboutcrime,” he said.

Rozen said a requestwill be made to the OakleyCommunity Council for ad-

ditional funds, specificallyfor a portable camera sys-tem.

Anewrestaurantcomingto Mariemont has put thespotlight back on parking is-sues in the village’s centralbusiness district.

Sean Daly, owner andchef of Hugo in Oakley, re-cently announced he wasmoving the restaurant toMariemont’s square andmorphing the menu fromupscale Southern fare tocreative, casual Americancuisine.

Daly signed a letter of in-tent to lease the storefrontbetween the MariemontTheatre and Graeter’s. He

plans to reconstruct the5,400-square-foot space intotwo floors – a lounge and baron the first level with diningroom and private party areaupstairs.

“It happened very quick-ly and it sounds like it’s go-ing to be a home run … butthat’s going to put morepressure on … existingparking,” Mariemont Coun-cilman Joe Miller said at arecent meeting.

For years, residents andvillage officials have ques-tioned whether there wasenough parking for patronsof the many businesses inthe square, bordered byWest Street, Wooster Pikeand Miami Road.

Mariemont officialswere working on a plan toaddanother80or90parkingspaces on West Street, butthere hasn’t been much re-cent discussion of the plan.

Miller said he plans tomeet with the superinten-dent of the Mariemont CitySchools and a village archi-tect to determine if thereare alternatives to creatingon-street parking alongWest Street. The school dis-trict is in the midst of reno-vating Mariemont Elemen-tary and traffic will be re-routed to the new WestStreet entrance.

Councilman CortneyScheeser said he’s beenlooking at alternates to theWest Street parking planandhethinks“therearealotof opportunistic spaces ifyou’re really creative.”

One option, Miller said,would be to paint parkingspots along Wooster Pike infront of the municipal build-ing.Carsareallowedtoparkin that space but rarely do,and Miller said the lines willhelp show drivers that it is a

legal parking area.“The important thing

right now is we need to helpthe square and anything wedo…isgoingtobeaplus,”hesaid.

Councilman Andy Blacksaid he is fine with the fewspaces in front of the muni-cipal building, but wanted tomake sure officials don’tlose sight of the larger park-ing problem in the businessdistrict.

Daly plans to close Hugo,on Madison Road, near theintersection with RidgeRoad, March 24 and re-openin Mariemont in the sum-mer.

The restaurant’s hourswill expand to six days aweek. Lunch, weekendbrunch, and outdoor diningin front of the restaurantwill be added.

Terrace Park officialsplan to address drainage is-sues in three locationsaround the village.

On Marietta and Myrtleavenues the maintenancedepartment will install anewdrainboxandpipenearthe school, said Street Com-missioner and Police ChiefGeraldHayhowduringare-cent meeting.

In the 600 and 700 blocksof Yale Avenue he said theyplan to drill holes close tothe street to allow the waterto drain.

Councilman Tom TepeJr. expressed concern earli-er this year about the largesections of broken pave-

ment and potholes alongthat street and said theproblem had gotten worsein the past few months.

On Wooster Pike, be-tween Wrenwood Lane andElmRoad,crewswillcreatea new swale and clear outdebris from a previousswale so water will flow tothe nearby streams andstormwater drains, Hay-how said.

“Hopefully that’s goingto keep water off (U.S.) 50whereit’sflooding,”hesaid.“It’s just coming down thehill and has nowhere to go.”

There used to be a swalein that location, but years ofrunoff filled it with silt, hesaid. Indian Hill owns thatproperty, but Hayhow saidit is Terrace Park’s respon-

sibility to fix it because theswale is in Terrace Park’sright of way.

Councilman Stefan Ol-son asked if workersplanned to line the newswale with rocks or anothermaterial to allow the waterto drain. “If we just dig atrench, that’s going to con-tinue to fill in,” he said.

Hayhow said a concreteswale would be best, butrocks could also keep thewater from rushing ontoWooster Pike. He addedthat village officials areworking on a comprehen-sive right of way restora-tion project for the spring.

The drainage problemsshould be addressed in thenext few weeks, Hayhowsaid.

COLUMBIA TWP. — Ad-ministrator MichaelLemon said the townshipis still awaiting the com-pletion of a second roundof environmental testingbefore a potential newdevelopment alongPlainville Road can pro-ceed.

The proposed project,which would be underta-ken by Greiwe Develop-ment Group, would con-sist of three-story apart-ment complexes andground-level store-fronts.

Once the environmen-tal testing is finishedtownship officials planto continue pursuing ad-ditional grants and fund-ing to pay for the pro-ject.

Rick Greiwe, ownerof Greiwe DevelopmentGroup, said he's workingon a presentation for theMariemont VillageCouncil on the round-about and PlainvilleRoad development. Hesaid since the villagerests near the potentialroundabout council's ap-proval is necessary be-fore proceeding.

Greiwe said if andwhen the developmentgets approval from Ma-riemont the Ohio Depart-ment of Transporationwill begin preliminarydrawings of the round-about.

"It's still not a donedeal, but it's moving for-ward," Greiwe said.

Lemon said he's hope-ful the long process ofcreating the roundabouton Plainville Road,

which has continued forseveral years, will cometo fruition and benefitboth Columbia Townshipand Mariemont.

"I know it's in the bestinterest of both commu-nities ... I just keep plug-ging away," he said.

Greiwe DevelopmentGroup has pre-develop-ment contracts withproperties at 4003 Plain-ville Road, the site ofLarry Daniels Auto Cen-ter; 4021 Plainville Road,the site of a used cardealership; and 4020 and4024 Plainville Road, siteof Dav's Complete AutoRepair to buy the sitesand develop three-storyapartment complexes.

Cincinnati artist TylerHildebrand recently spenttwo weeks working with sev-enth- and eighth-graders atSpringer School and Centeras part of the school’s Mau-reen Wenker Artist in Resi-dence program.

Best known for his celeb-rity caricatures and city-scapes of Cincinnati andNorthern Kentucky, Hilde-brand challenged the stu-dents to identify a personwho has been inspirationalto them, and then coachedthem in painting carica-tures.

“This was my first experi-ence with an Artist in Resi-dence program,” said Hilde-brand, “and the students dida great job.”

During his two-week resi-dency, Hildebrand visitedwith every class to shareabout his life and work as anartist.

Then he worked with a se-lect group of students on the

caricatures.The artist's visit was

sponsored by the MaureenWenker Artist in Residenceprogram, made possiblethrough a fund created inmemory of a Springer sup-porter and mother of threeSpringer graduates.

COLUMBUS — For Lauren Ter-ry, the state gymnastics competi-tion was bittersweet.

Terry, who is a senior at theSummit Country Day School, wasecstatic to reach the state’s topcompetition, but at the same time,shewassadhergymnasticscareerwas coming to an end.

“I’vebeentryingtoprocessitallweek,” Terry said. “It’s like, wow,I’m done with the sport…but I’mhappy I did the sport and met all ofmy friends and I will go back to thegym frequently to visit them.”

The 2012 campaign marked thefirstseasonthatTerrycompetedinhigh school gymnastics.

She left her mark by placing14thonthebars.Shealsocompetedon the beam at the competition,which was at Hilliard BradleyHigh School March 3.

Coming into this season, theLoveland resident was already anaccomplished club gymnast. How-ever, she considered giving up thesport over the summer because in-juries started to take a toll.

“I thought my body was donehandling the sport, but then (acoach) convinced me to do highschool gymnastics because it’sfewer hours in the gym, but I stillget to have fun and compete.”

The Loveland resident spent 10years on the club circuit. She citedthe floor exercise, as well as thevault, as the most physical taxingevents.

“With the floor…it’s not a tram-poline, and on vault, you have torun, go up-and-over the table, orhorse, and flip and land on yourfeet. Those are kind of two pound-ing events,” Terry said.

Despite the injuries sustainedover the years, Terry said she’s go-ing to miss competing, as well hasher teammates.

“I’m a competitive person and Ithought competitions were a lot offun,”shesaid.“Andmyteamislikemy family. I’ve trained with themfive days a week for multiplehours.”

And while the past season wasmore about making one last go-round in the sport she loves, Terrywas excited to compete at the highschool season’s final meet.

“I think it’s really cool I quali-fied to state,” she said. “I alwayswanted to go.”

Terry will attend High PointUniversity in North Carolina thisfall. She won’t be a part of the gym-nastics team, but she’s looking for-ward to trying other sports.

“I want to try something new.I’ll try dance, or soccer, or swim-ming--something along those linesto keep me in shape,” she said.

Recent innovation in healthcare has resulted in the use oftechnology in health careapplications, ranging fromactual physician care to main-tenance of health records. Arapidly advancing componentof health care technologyincludes the world of mobilehealth – that is, technologythat makes use of mobiledevices, including the ubiqui-tous cellular phone to assist inmanaging health and informa-tion.

At a recent summit onmobile health technologypresenters shared currentand future thinking on wide-ranging applications usingtechnology already availabletoday to assist in the diagno-sis and management of dis-ease.

For instance, a cardiologistat the convention demon-strated a mobile device ableto perform an echocardio-gram and ultrasounds. Therewere demonstrations of con-tact lenses that monitoredglaucoma symptoms; pho-tographic applications thattrack changes in skin condi-tions and test strips able toanalyze and transmit datafrom droplets of saliva.

Those who watched theSuper Bowl a few of weeksago may not have realizedthat while they were tunedinto the most watched televi-sion event in US history mo-bile health technology wasfront and center.

New England running backBenJarvis Green-Ellis wasoutfitted with a special chin-strap that detected, recordedand transmitted informationon how hard he was hitthroughout the game to gaininsight into concussions.

Similar technology is al-ready in use in youth sportswith an iPhone app that helpscheck kids for concussionsand other head injuries.

Health and Human Ser-vices Secretary KathleenSebelius said at the sameconference that mobile appli-

cations canbridge theinformationgap betweendoctors andpatients andhelp patientstake bettercharge oftheir health.

“We’retalking abouttaking the

biggest technology break-through of all time (mobiletechnology) and using it toaddress our greatest nationalchallenge (health care),” shetold the audience.

A PEW Research reportreleased late last year in-dicated that 17 percent ofmobile phone users used theirdevices to look up medicaland health information. AJuniper survey estimated that44 million health applicationswere downloaded in 2011.

We are most fortunate herein Hamilton County to havebeen selected to pilot a mobileapplication to help with asignificant local and nationalhealth issue – Type 2 diabetes.Called txt4health, the pro-gram is launching in threepilot communities – Cincin-nati, Detroit and New Or-leans.

To use this free program(standard messaging chargesmay apply; consult your wire-less carrier for details), peo-ple enroll by simply textingthe word, “HEALTH” to300400 using their cellphones. During the enroll-ment process, participantsare asked a brief series ofquestions that assess theirrisk for Type 2 diabetes.

Based on their responses,individuals receive text mes-sages for 14 weeks with cus-tomized information to helpthem assess their type 2 dia-betes risk level, set individ-ualized goals for increasedactivity and weight loss andconnect with local health careproviders and the existingwellness and diabetes preven-

tion resources available inour community.

In Hamilton County, theprogram is being coordinatedby the Greater CincinnatiBeacon Collaboration andHamilton County PublicHealth. Nationally, txt4healthhas been developed through aunique collaboration betweenthe American Diabetes Asso-ciation (ADA), the Centers forDisease Control and Preven-tion (CDC), the Office of theNational Coordinator forHealth Information Technol-ogy (ONC) Beacon Communi-ty Program and Voxiva.

Why the focus on Type 2diabetes, you might ask. Near-ly 74,000 people in the Great-er Cincinnati area have it.Nearly 30 percent of us areobese, which is a major riskfactor for diabetes and otherdiseases.

The txt4health programmakes use of technology thatresearch indicates 83 percentof us use – the mobile phone.The same research tells usthat more than 70 percent ofus use our phones to send andreceive text messages.

We encourage everyone tosign up for txt4health. Whilethe focus is on diabetes thereare messages for everyonedealing with healthy eatingand exercise. The programwill provide you some insighton the direction healthcare isheading in this country.

Through the cooperation ofour program partners youwill also have access to healthtips and referral to activitiesthroughout the region.

It would be wonderful toshow Washington how Cincin-nati lives up to its reputationas a leader in social media useand application by enrolling25,000 area residents intxt4heatlh.

However, please don’tenroll while driving. That’s anentirely different health con-cern!

Last week’s questionShould the United States pro-

vide military support to the oppo-nents of Syrian President BasharAssad’s regime, similar to the ac-tions taken in Libya? Why or whynot?

“Do you mean so the people ofanother eastern country can hateus? Let's upend Hugo Chavez inVenezuela instead. It is a lot closerand they have oil.

“The U.S. needs to stop beingthe world's police force. Let Jor-dan, or Saudi Arabia or some othercountry that lives nearby do it. Ifthey don't want to die for theirneighbors, why should we?”

F.S.D.

“Very tough question. We triedto help battle Saddam Hussein inIraq and that country is still amess. We tried to help the Afghanipeople protect themselves fromthe Taliban and that is a mess.There is no easy answer.

“Opponents could make very in-telligent arguments against get-ting involved, but meantime Assadis murdering thousands of inno-cent people, and it just seemswrong to stand by and do nothing.

“Assad hates us, as so manymid-Eastern groups do. If we triedto help it is very likely that Assadwould be killed by his opponents(as Ghadaffi was). But what kind ofregime would take his place? Cer-tainly not a US-style democracy.We know that this kind of thinkingis a pipe dream.

“The United States has to be onconstant alert against not onlyhome-grown terrorists, but coun-tries like Iran which has said manytimes it wants to blow Israel off themap. They would do us in, too, ifthey could.

“Then there is North Korea,possibly Pakistan and Egypt whowe used to think of as ‘friends.’ I'mnot terribly sure that Turkey lovesus either.

“There are 300 million of us inthis country, and 6.8 billion soulsworldwide, many of whom havecontempt for us. I don't see anyway to guarantee peace, and yet, tosit idly by and do nothing while thismurderer Assad continues to killinnocent people just doesn't seemright to me.”

Bill B.

“I think the United States has toprovide military support to Syria.

“With Iraq and Afghanistanwinding down we have the militarycapability to invade Syria and de-pose Assad from power.

“Libya dragged on way too long,and could have been over in notime had we sent forces into Tripoliand deposed Gaddafi.

“The main obstacle I see isPresident Obama. He has chosen totake the lead from behind, weakdiplomatic, ‘wait-and-see’ ap-proach.

“He seems to prefer not flexingour military might, almost apolo-gizing to the world for our superi-ority and aggressive nation build-ing in areas we have occupied or in-vaded.

“The stealth behind the scenes,drones, sanctions, and talk diplo-macy mixed with administrationadmonitions all show a weakness inconfronting trouble spots head on.He's just a heartless dove posing asan analytical, pseudo-intellectual,strategic hawk.

“It's time the real hawks eitherin his administration or in Con-gress to speak up and get us intoSyria where we can take on Assad.”

I.P.

“Absolutely not, we need to stayout of the way. Even if they toppleAssad, they will vote in the Muslimbrotherhood and it will be as bad as

it is now. That part of the world isnothing but trouble for America.We have enough problems in thiscountry to straighten out.”

D.D.

“No. We should stay out of Syr-ia. We have allies in the region whohave more at stake than we do. Weshould learn from our last fewwars that we don't seem to be ableto figure out the internal politics inthese Islamic countries. It's tooeasy to get mired down in theirmesses.”

P.C.

“This might be a trick questionsince President Obama said it wasNATO that demanded and en-forced the "no-fly zone" in Libya. Ofcourse everyone knows it was real-ly Obama's intervention from topto bottom, including Congress,which criticized him for makingwar without authorization fromCongress. After all, even GeorgeW. Bush got their approval when hewanted to attack Iraq. EmperorObama does as he pleases, but Idon't believe he'll attack Syria - hedoesn't have any money left.”

R.V.

“I think it is about time the UStake a back seat in these small pol-icing matters involving thesecountries and let the UN take ac-tions as that is their responsibil-ity.”

O.H.R.

“Once Osmaa Bin Laden waskilled nearly a year ago our reasonfor being in the Middle East cameto an END! We should have de-clared victory in the War on Ter-rorism and vacated the area. Wehave no business sticking our noseinto their ways and coming outwith a bloody nose. We only makeenemies there and should bringback our troops!”

D.F.B.

“Absolutely! The U.S. shouldprovide weaponry and surveil-lance support to the opponents ofAssad's regime in order to, at thevery least, help better their oddsagainst the heavy military equip-ment of the regime. The U.S.should also initiate the provision ofmedical and other humanitarianneeds for Syria's population whoare relentlessly being attacked byorder of the brutal tyrant.

“Assad, like the recent despotswho have been "relieved" of theirrule, does not want to lose his pow-er (and his subsequent financialstrength and opulent lifestyle) thatenables him to deprive Syria's citi-zens of security, prosperity andfreedom in their lives and, thus,keep them under his total control.No people should have to live withsuch oppression and fear.

“There seems to be some sort ofselectivity in play by our govern-ment while these military attacksare daily injuring and killing moreand more people as well as destroy-ing their homes and businesses.

“Why is anyone waiting? Is itbecause Russia, China, and Cubathink that absolute, unrestrainedgovernmental control is an okaything?”

Ourfriendsdown theroad, Bertand BobVilling, justplanted thefirst oftheirspringcrops:carrots,

peas and spinach. Thismakes me literally itch toget the garden tilled. Talkabout spring fever!

The watercress in ourlittle spring-fed pool isspreading by leaps andbounds, and the mapletrees are budding out. Theherb garden still lookspretty forlorn, though.Chickweed is taking overso I’ll have to do someserious weeding. But all’snot lost: Our “girls”/chick-ens love chickweed. Didyou know that chickweedis highly nutritious? I liketo add it to salads. Justmake sure it’s clean, with-out pesticides, etc.

Heritage housedressing

The former HeritageRestaurant on WoosterPike holds many goodmemories for me, sincethat’s where my husband,Frank, and I met andworked. Their housedressing was the mostpopular dressing. I’ve hadmany requests for it overthe years. So I went to thesource: Proprietors How-ard and Jan Melvin, whowere gracious enough toshare the recipe.

It has an interestinghistory. Howard told methe original recipe wasfrom the Netherland PlazaHotel and it was a quantityone. Jan and chef JerryHart developed a recipefor the home cook. I’llhave to warn you – itmakes quite a lot, butyou’ll be happy to have iton hand. It reminds me ofan elegant Caesar-typedressing with a bit of abite. I’ve adapted the reci-pe only slightly. And yes,it uses raw eggs. Thatdoesn’t bother me. I don’tthink you could substitutepasteurized whites sincethis recipe contains yolks,as well. Check your localgrocer to see if they carrypasteurized whole eggs ifyou are not comfortablewith using raw eggs. Go totaste on seasonings.

¼ cup grated Parmesancheese

1 tablespoon cracked blackpepper

1½ teaspoons each groundblack pepper and salt

1 tablespoon granulateddried garlic

¼ cup each water and redwine vinegar

Up to 2½ teaspoons freshlemon juice

Up to 1 teaspoon hot sauce1 teaspoon Worcestershire2 large egg yolks1 large egg2 cups vegetable oil

Combine Parmesan,peppers, salt and garlicand set aside. Combinewater, vinegar, lemonjuice, hot sauce andWorcestershire and setaside. Combine yolks andeggs in mixer. Whip onmedium high until verythick. Mixture will be lightlemon colored. Jerry’snote said “and we meanvery thick.” With the whipattachment still on, turn tohigh and slowly, in a thin,thin, stream, pour half theoil in. When egg mixturehas taken half the oil, addall dry ingredients. Con-tinue adding the rest ofthe oil, alternating withliquid ingredients, until allliquid ingredients havebeen absorbed. Refriger-ate immediately.

My mom’s salmonpatties

My mom never mea-sured and she used reg-ular breadcrumbs, so usethem if you like. Go totaste on onion and celery.

1 can salmon (I used pinksalmon)

1 egg, lightly beaten1⁄3 cup each finely diced

onion and celery½ cup panko breadcrumbsSalt and pepper to taste

Drain salmon and mixeverything together light-ly. Form into patties andfry in olive oil over medi-um heat until brown onboth sides. Nice sides arefried potatoes and mixedvegetables.

Tasty dill sauceI got this recipe years

ago from Bonnie Kareth, aNorthern Kentucky read-er, when we were bothworking at Macy’s. I likethis so much I use it onother seafood dishes, aswell.

Mix together:

½ cup mayonnaiseJuice of half a lemon or

more to taste1 generous teaspoon dried

dill leaves or palmfulfresh, chopped

Hot sauce to taste1 tomato, finely chopped

In an effort to rewardtheir dogs, many peoplegive them little treats.But the Food and DrugAdministration is cau-tioning about productscontaining chicken jerky,including chicken ten-ders, strips or treats.More than 350 dogs havereportedly become illafter eating these items– and some have died.

Joetta Caudill-Metzg-er of Alexandria recentlylost her 6-year-old minia-ture schnauzer, Molly.

“I’ve been buyingthese dog treats becauseshe loved them. Theywere chicken jerky and Ithought, ‘OK, this isgreat.’ My dog lovedthese treats so whenshe’d been a good dog Isaid, ‘Oh, you’ve been agood dog today and youcan have a treat,’” Cau-dill-Metzger said.

Molly had been eatingthose treats for morethan a year. But, Caudill-Metzger says, “She’sbeen getting more ofthem lately. Before, itwas like one or two. Forthe last month or so I’vegiven her one every day.’Suddenly she startedgetting lethargic, thenshe got sick to her stom-ach and she started lyingdown.”

Molly was then takento the vet to be exam-ined.

“The vet said she’salready shut down 75percent. I don’t wantanybody else who owns adog to go through whatwe’re going throughright now. It’s heart-breaking because a dogis your child,” Caudill-Metzger said.

The vet says Mollydied of kidney failureand he suspects it wascaused by the chickenjerky. The maker of thatbrand of dog food says ithas a program to ensurethe safety of its prod-

ucts. TheFDA firstissued acautionarywarningaboutthese prod-ucts backin 2007.Despiteexhaustivetesting, the

FDA has not found anycontaminant in the Chi-nese-made products thatcould cause any illness.

None of the chickenjerky products havebeen recalled. The FDAsays these productsshould not be substitutedfor a balanced diet andare intended to be fedonly occasionally and insmall quantities. Caudill-Metzger says she wascutting in half the treatsshe had been feedingMolly.

Natasha Beranek ofFairfield wrote me thatshe too had been feedingher small dog one to twochicken jerky treatseach day, per the weightguidelines on the back ofthe package. But her dogalso became sick andwas put on a diet of sen-sitive stomach food andcapsules by her vet. “Ihave now abstained fromgiving her her belovedchicken jerky treats,”Beranek says.

David Best of Bataviawrote to say his smalldog also died after eat-ing these treats and hewould like to see theitems pulled from storeshelves. He has anotherdog and writes, “Afterseeing your story on TVwe threw out the bag ofthese treats I had justbought.”

MADISONVILLE — TheChildren’s Home of Cincin-nati will introduce a pro-gram to treat adolescents,ages 13-17, with co-occur-ring mental health and sub-stance use disorders.

The Children’s Homehas been developing theSpecialized Treatment forAdolescent Recovery pro-gram in collaboration withThe Health Foundation ofGreater Cincinnati for twoyears with the goal of ad-dressing the need for a cen-tralized treatment optionfor adolescents with a dualdiagnosis.

“We are very excitedabout the startup of ournew STAR program,” saidMarcy Robbe, vice presi-dent of services at TheChildren’s Home. “Guid-ance and support from TheHealth Foundation hasbeen incredibly valuable inensuring strong programdesign and best practice.”

In addition to their col-laborative design efforts,The Health Foundationawarded The Children’s

Home a $125,000 grant tostart the program. Theyalso offered a challenge – ifThe Children’s Home

raises an additional $50,000The Health Foundation willprovide a $75,000 matchinggrant.

Studies on adolescentsindicate that 75 percent ofthose in treatment for sub-stance use issues have a co-

occurring mental healthdisorder.

Typically, youth with adual diagnosis must re-

ceive separate treatmentfrom separate therapistsand treatment profession-als, often at different loca-tions.

The Specialized Treat-ment for Adolescent Re-covery program increaseseach child’s likelihood oflong-term recovery by pro-viding a centralized optionthat integrates the goals ofmental health and sub-stance use treatment intoone location.

Youth will receive inter-ventions including individ-ual, family, and groupcounseling, case manage-ment, crisis support, andmedication management.

Parenting workshopswill also be available forparents/caregivers. Ser-vices will be provided oncampus as well as in home,school and other communi-ty settings as necessary tohelp youth integrate theskills learned in treatmentin their daily routine, sup-porting their total recov-ery.

Children’s home launches teen recovery program

Celebrating the $125,000 donation from The Health Foundation for the Children's Home of Cincinnati's new SpecializedTreatment for Adolescent Recovery program are Melissa Haag-Costin, PH program manager at The Children's Home ofCincinnati; Ann Barnum, senior program officer at The Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati; Ellen Katz, president andCEO of The Children's Home; and Marcy Robbe, vice president of services at The Children's Home.
