the-art stadium will in-

PRICE HILL —When El-der High School baseballplayers take the field thisspring they’ll do so in anew stadium.

The school recentlybroke ground on the JackAdam Baseball Stadium.

JP Owens, director ofadmissions and market-ing for Elder, said thebaseball stadium is thelast remaining athleticsfacility to be built at theButch Hubert FamilyPanther Athletic Com-

clude three seating sec-tions, restrooms and apress box, he said. Con-struction is scheduled tobe completed in time forthe 2014 season opener.

“It’s going to be im-pressive,” Owens said.“I’m looking forward toseeing it completed thisspring.”

Elder is raising$520,000 topayfor thesta-dium, and he said the vastmajorityof thefundshavealready been donated.

“We really have tothank Jack Adam fromthe class of 1957,” Owenssaid, noting Adam donat-ed half the money neededfor the project. “Hestepped up in the begin-ningandreallygot theballrolling. He wanted tomake this happen.”

Elder Principal TomOtten said the stadium is

the final piece of the 2003master plan for the athlet-ic complex.

“Elder representsOhio’s best – holding 12state baseball titles,” hesaid.

“It’s fitting that thePanthers finally have afirst-class home.”

Mark Thompson, El-

der’s head baseball coach,said the generosity ofAdam, the Altiora Com-mittee, theadministrationand the school’s alumni isoverwhelming, and willmake the stadium one ofthe premier high schoolbaseball facilities in theMidwest.

“What will set this

apart from other stadi-ums is the incorporationof the school’s characterinto the design,” Thomp-son said.

Cincinnati-based PDTArchitects designed thestadium. The designmatches elements of theschool’s architecture, in-cluding its towers.

recruits. FEMA does notput limitsontheamountofmoney a department canbe awarded, andCFDoffi-cials have said they’ll con-tinue to apply wheneverthey fall below minimumstaffing levels, with coun-cil’s blessing.

Cincinnati’s pending $8millionrequestwouldhireanother 50 firefighters,Braun said.

“One brownout is toomany,” Alter said, point-ing to an example lastweek where it took morethan 11 minutes for thefirst fire engine to arriveto a house fire in CollegeHill that caused $25,000 indamage. The nationalstandard is under 5 min-

utes and 20 seconds, Altersaid.

TheCollegeHill enginewas already out on a run,and its backup in North-side was browned out, soan engine had tomake thetrek from South Fair-mount, Alter said.

The irony of a new sta-tion opening was not loston Alter. “Without peo-ple,” he said, “a fire houseis just a building.”

Road.North Bend now has

two lanes in each direc-tion, with designated turnlanes to Mercy HealthBoulevard – the road lead-ing to the hospital.

Lambing said the pro-jectalso included theaddi-tion of a traffic signal atNorthBendRoadandMer-cy Health Boulevard, aswell as a traffic signal andturn lanes at North BendRoad and Kleeman Road.

“We made major im-provements at the inter-section of Kleeman andNorth Bend,” he said.

The work the townshipdid at Boomer Road andNorth Bend complementsODOT’s project, which in-volved reconfiguring theentrance ramp fromNorth Bend to eastbound

I-74, in frontofSt. IgnatiusChurch, by creating a con-tinuous lane for accessingthe highway.

The ODOT project alsoincluded improvements tothe entrance ramp to east-bound I-74 from south-bound North Bend Road,turningwhat used to be an“exit only” lane to I-74 intoa through lane with an op-tion to veer right and ac-cess the entrance ramp.

ODOTalsowidened theintersection of NorthBend Road and West ForkRoad as part of its work,adding right-turn lanes atall four corners of the in-tersection.

Jim Kummer, presi-dent of the MonfortHeights/White Oak Com-munity Association, saidhe lives on Boomer Roadand frequently drivesthrough the area near thenew hospital.

“I think the road im-provements are excellent,

from West Fork all theway to Kleeman,” he said.“I travel those roads quitea bit.”

The community associ-ationprovidedinputontheroad improvements andKummer said, while hecan’t speak for everyonein the association, hethinks people are satisfiedwith the improvements.

“I don’t see any reasonwhy it won’t work out,” hesaid.

Lambing agreed, say-ing the improvementswere designed to increasesafety for drivers and al-low traffic to flow throughthe area with fewer back-ups.

“It’s working perfect-ly,” he said. “I can’t fore-see any issueswith the de-signs.”

The road work cost thetownship about $1.5 mil-lion, and the ODOT pro-ject cost about $1.3 mil-lion.

VFW post, said this year’sguest speaker is KenKreuter, father of fallenU.S. Marine Sgt. DavidKreuter, whowas killed inaction in Iraq in August2005.

“Our program usuallyturns out to be a solemnceremony,” Chuma said.“It’s a day of tribute.”

He said Memorial Dayis a day for rememberingthose who made the ulti-mate sacrifice for ourfreedoms, but VeteransDay honors military vet-erans of all ages, livingand deceased, who servedin all eras.

“It’s one day we setaside to thank all whoserved,” he said.

Snyder said he alwaysthinks about the guyswithwhom he served on Veter-ans Day.

“It’s a way to celebratetheir service and the timethey gave to the country,”he said. “I think of it as aday of remembrance, andI’m sure a lot of veteransview it thesamewayIdo.”

While the ceremony istypically well attended byarea veterans and electedofficials, post memberswould also like to see asmany community mem-bers as possible attend.

GREEN TWP. — Town-ship officials have chosento stick with Integrys En-ergy Services for its natu-ral gas aggregation pro-gram.

The Green TownshipTrustees voted to approvea two-year agreementwith Integrys Energy ef-fective Nov. 1.

Green Township Ad-ministrator Kevin Cela-rek said there are severalfactors why the townshipelected to stay with Inte-grys Energy, which has

now been the natural gassupplier for the town-ship’s aggregation pro-gram for six years.

“They’ve always givenus a good rate, lower thanDuke Energy Ohio,” hesaid.

“They are also a goodcompany we trust, andthey’ve always providedgreat customer service.”

Aggregation is a proc-essbywhichcommunitiescombine their residentsinto a large buying group,which can result in in-creasedbuyingpowerandstable prices for mem-bers.

Celareksaid thereareroughly11,350townshiphouseholdsenrolled innatural gasaggrega-tion. He

said the township oper-ates an opt-out program,meaning residentswho donot wish to participatehave the choice to not en-roll.

Township residents en-rolled intheprogramhaverealized about 9 percentsavings on their natural

gas costs compared toDuke Energy customerssince December, he said.

Spence Faxon, presi-dent of Energy Alliances,the company that admin-isters the township’s pro-gram, said savings fluctu-ate depending on themar-ket, but residents in theprogram have generallysaved money every yearthe program has been inexistence.

“There’s been savingsconsistently,” he said.“And that’s money thatstays in the township.”

Residents in the pro-gramsaveda totalofnear-

ly $1 million during thefirstyear thetownship im-plemented natural gas ag-gregation, and Faxon saidresidents saved a total ofabout $200,000 over thecourse of the past eight tonine months.

While natural gas ratesmove up and down withthemarket, he said the ad-vantage of the program isthat members know themaximumrate they’ll pay.

Green Township’s pro-gramoffers both amonth-ly variable price and alocked-in price with flexdown opportunity, Faxonsaid. The rate is guaran-

teed not to exceed thelocked-in price, and theflex down opportunity al-lows the rate to decreaseif and when natural gasrates go down, he said.

The township hasworked with Energy Alli-ances and Integrys Ener-gy to determine whetherit’s better to lock in a rateor go with a variable ratefor the coming term, hesaid.

Residents in the pro-gram and those are eligi-ble toparticipate receivedlettersproviding instruc-tions on how to opt-out, hesaid.

The township veteransgroup will host its annualVeterans Day ceremonyat 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10,at the Delhi Veterans Me-morial Park, 934 NeebRoad.

“This is a time for us togive our thanks to all theveterans,” said Jeff Le-fler, secretaryof thetown-ship veterans association.

As part of the com-memoration, he said 45more names of townshipmilitary veterans will beunveiled on the park’sWall of Honor monument.

The monument willnow feature the names of2,204 township men andwomen who served in thearmed forces, he said.

Twelve of the namesbeing added this year areSisters of Charity whoserved as Army nursesduring the Civil War, Le-fler said.

“That brings the total

number of Civil War vet-eranson thewall to60, andI think about half of themare Sisters of Charitywhoservedasnurses,” he said.

Lefler said the associa-tion will present itsMedalof Honor this year to U.S.Navy veteran Don Bill, abugler who has been sup-portive of veteransgroups and has played forseveral of the associa-tion’s ceremonies.

Association command-erGaryCox,aNavyveter-anwho fought inVietnam,said theVeteransDaycer-emony is an importantevent because it’s wheretheyaddnamesto theWallofHonor.HesaidMemori-alDay is forrememberingthose who were lost, andVeteransDay is for thank-ing all who served.

“Our goal is to honorevery township veteranon ourwalls,” he said. “Allourveteransdeserve toberecognized.”

Lefler, whose brother,Clifford, was killed inVietnam while serving intheU.S.AirForce, said theVeteransDayceremony istypically the group’s mostwell-attended event.

“The men and womenwho served this country

didn’t think about the sac-rifices they were making,they just saw it was some-thing they had to do. Theyput their lives at risk forus and our freedoms.”

Twenty-seven-year-oldChris Howland served onetour in Iraq and three in Ger-many as a specialist in theU.S. Army before deciding tofurther his education.

“The Army gave me theopportunity to go to college,”he said. “I knew I had to usethis opportunity while I hadit.”

Howland, of Western Hills,is now a junior studying crim-inology and psychology at theCollege of Mount St. Joseph.The Mount was recentlynamed a “Military Friendly”

school by G.I. Jobs, a nationalmilitary magazine. The annu-al survey looks for collegesthat recruit and retain stu-dents with military experi-ence and offer scholarships,veterans’ clubs and otheropportunities.

“The Mount is extremelyveteran friendly,” Howlandsaid. “I transferred to theMount because I wantedsmaller class sizes and morepersonal attention from myprofessors. That’s what reallydrew me to the Mount.”

The Mount offers several

opportunities for veterans tobecome active within thecollege. Veterans in Commu-nities is one of these groupsthat offers veterans and non-veterans an opportunity tojoin and help support veter-ans at the college and in thecommunity. VIC hosts eventssuch as the Boot Drive whichcollects proceeds to donate tocharities, such as the DelhiVeterans Association. VICalso offers benefits to veter-ans at the Mount and the com-munity, such as arranging forhealth screenings and free flu

shots.“One of the Mount’s pri-

mary values is leadership andthose who have served ourcountry are noble examplesof the excellent students weare proud to have on campus,”said Tony Aretz, president ofthe Mount and a retired AirForce lieutenant colonel.

The Mount will hold itsfirst Challenge Coin cere-mony in October, giving outtokens to Mount alumni whoserved in the military. In ad-dition, VIC will form a teamto run a 5K for the Disabled

Veterans Association at Yeat-man’s Cove in November.

“It’s no wonder the Mountis ranked among the top 20percent of schools for beingmilitary friendly,” Howlandsaid. “It’s very evident theycare about veterans.”

The College of Mount St.Joseph is an undergraduateand graduate Catholic collegethat provides an interdisci-plinary liberal arts and pro-fessional curriculum empha-sizing values, service andsocial responsibility.

Mount earns Military Friendly honor

When Springmyer Elementary wasevacuated for a monthly fire drill Sept.11, teachers and students were greetedby members of the Green Township Fire& EMS Department with coolers of pop-sicles.

Principal Alyssa Adkins kicked off2013-2014 with the building-wide themeof Growing Smarter Brains.

Without air conditioning and temper-atures registering in the mid 90s, Adkinsknew her students needed replenish-ment. So she called in the troops.

“It’s important for our students torecognize the heroes next door,” shesaid. “This was a great opportunity tonot only reward them for their persever-ance through the stifling weather condi-tions, but also to say thank you to themen and women who keep us safe!”

Adkins remarked that the only chal-lenge ahead is helping the youngest,newest members of Springmyer un-derstand that there aren’t popsicles andheroes after every fire drill.

GAME FOR A CAUSE

The Oak Hills High School junior varsity and varsity soccer teams played their gameagainst Finneytown in honor of Breast Cancer Game for a Cause, a fundraiser thatOak Hills does every year. Every sport picks a night and plays in honor of someonethey know who has or had cancer. At half time the boys dedicated their game bygiving a pink carnation to a cancer survivor or someone standing in for someone whobattled cancer. The afternoon included basket raffles, bake sale, face painting andsplit-the-pot. The boys soccer program raised more than $1,100. Oak Hills varsity teammembers are, front, Spencer Dennis, Brett Smith, Jake Schapker, Tyler Mitchell, NolanNorman, Dominic Stephens and Tyler Sander; middle, Alex Reichling , Michael Fox,Zach Gutheir, Mtch Fisher, zach Mitchrll, Jordan Arlinghaus, BrandonWuesterfeld andEvan Merk; and back, Joe Anderson, Alex Grote, Noah Griffith and Adam Kroeger.THANKS TO CHRIS MITCHELL

spiring.”The boys and girls

teamspushed one anotherand enjoyed their new-found success together.For 13 of the 14 regionalqualifiers, it was theirfirst trip to the regional.This season marked thefirst time in four yearsthat both teams qualifiedfor the regional meet.

“Itwasvery rewardingas a coach to see thisgroup of kids come to-gether at just the righttime and succeed,” Stech-er said. “They are begin-ning to realize what ittakes to race at the nextlevel and that it beginswith commitment and awillingness to work veryhard.”

The programhas takengreat strides in Stecher’sthree seasons at the helm.Withnearly the entire ros-ter returning next season,expectations will be high.The skills and the workethic are already there.

“This program has somuch untapped potential.

This was my third seasoncoachingandIamamazedwhen I look back towheresome of the kids weretheir freshman year com-pared to now,” said Stech-er. “They have begun tobuy into the program, andare learning what it takesto succeed. The expecta-tion is toworkhardernextseason than this season.”

Stecher credits middleschool coach Tim Crof-ford with preparing theyoung runners for suc-cess at the varsity level.The next wave of Yellow-jackets runners will beeven more prepared thanthe current crop of upper-classmen were as fresh-men. That experience,coupled with this year’spostseason success, willgive Taylor an edge nextseason.

“The hope is to con-tinue to improve.We haveseveral freshman comingup that have hadvery suc-cessful middle school ca-reers,” said Stecher. “Myhope is that with the addi-tion of these runners,combinedwithourreturn-ers, we can start makingsomenoise in theCHLandinto the postseason. Now

that all of our returnershave at least one seasonunder their belt, we willbegin to step up the inten-sity a notch.”

The bonds between theYellowjackets teammatesalso lend promise for thefuture. Theywill continueto push one another in theoffseason, and work to-gether to make 2014 aneven more memorableyear than this season. Al-though a young squad, theYellowjackets have mas-tered one important skillalready – bringing a posi-tive attitude and selfless-ness to every day of prac-tice.

“The special thingabout this team is thatthey are all great friends.Theycouldn’tbeanymoresupportive of one another,and that element has con-tributed to our success, aswell,” said Stecher. “Fromthe No. 1 runner all theway to the last, they alllove and encourage eachother to keep going and tokeep working hard. Theyhold each other account-able. I am very proud ofhowthis teamhasrespect-ed, accepted, and encour-aged everyone.”

that home game.”ThePanthers start five

sophomores, one of thosebeingquarterbackPeytonRamsey. Due to whatthey’ve faced over thefirstninegames, theelderRamsey doesn’t think thepressurewill consumehisunderclassmen whentheysteponto thefieldun-der the bright lights ofplayoff football.

“I think (Peyton) hasdoneagood jobalongwithall of our sophomores,”the coach said. “You thinkabout where we’re at, be-ing at 7-2, playing theschedule we’ve playedand being in all the closegames we’ve been in,those guys are as big of apart of us winning as any-body.”

If thePanthersareableto beat Greater CatholicLeague rival La SalleNov.1 (after deadline), theywill reach the eight-winmark. Since 2000, whenElder wins eight or moreregular season games,they’ve reached the statetitle game three times,winning two champion-ships, and reached the re-gional finals in 2001.

“When you get to eight

wins in the regular seasonyou’ve done some reallygood things,” coach Ram-sey said. “If youwin eightgames with our scheduleyou’ve beat some peoplethat are good.”

As for the opponentthat will travel to The PitNov. 9, it will likely be ei-ther Fairfield, St. Xavieror Springboro. No matterthe opponent, coach Ram-seyknowshis guyswill beprepared.

“I think that’s whereour schedule comes in to

play,” he said. “Our guyshave played in playoff-type games, so I thinkthey are ready for that.”

As for the coach, thereis no doubt he is ready forthe postseason to begin.

“I love coaching, andthe regular season I love,but playoff football inOhio – there’s nothing likeit,” he said. “Everybody inis pretty good and if youget on a roll, you neverknowwhat can happen.…It’s about surviving. It’swin or go home.”

The West Side – a restaurant mecca?I find it interesting how res-

taurants often times define acommunity. This thinking isapparent by Green Township’swell-publicized desire to at-tract an Olive Garden – as astrategy to keep our youngpeople from moving to Masonand West Chester.

I likeOliveGarden.And I domy share of Applebee’s andO’Charley’s. But I’ve alwaysaspired for something more,something new and trendy; aone of a kind place that identi-fies the West Side as “up andcoming.”

Granted, the Incline Dis-trict has the well established,and exclusive, Prima Vista.And the new Incline PublicHouse is trendy. But collec-

tively, we justcan’t seem toshake thePrice Hill stig-ma that pre-vents us fromfeeling goodabout our-selves. Espe-cially when wehear the aspir-ing politicians

constant drumbeat; saying,“What really killed Price Hillis the influx of Section 8 hous-ing! What really killed PriceHill… “

But I digress. Ordinarily Iwouldn’t venture to Over theRhine, but my son’s band wasperforming there, at the MidPoint Music Festival. The vi-

brancy of the neighborhoodcaused us to return the follow-ing evening, with his mother,to check out the new and tren-dy restaurants.

We were amazed to see somany familiar faces, includingBuddy La Rosa. It felt like“Price Hill Chili after thegame.” Referring to the neigh-borhood’s re-birth someoneasked, “Why can’t this happenon the West Side?” With hisarms waving, an elderly gen-tleman wearing a tattered teeshirt with the inscription,“How is calling Eighth andStatePriceHill,Good forPriceHill?” gleefully replied, “Don’tyou get it? The west side offi-cially begins at Vine Street.These cool cafés, the new

School for the Creative andPerforming Arts, the newWashington Park and high endcondos are on the West Side!”

Oh,we did see some old run-downbuildings, andwhatmusthave been some of those Sec-tion 8 people. But I no longerfelt an “up and coming” need. Ifelt as though I’d arrived.

The following Saturday mywife and I decided to have anice dinner.

“We’re in downtown Chevi-ot. Let’s eat at Stones,” I said.Upon sampling their ribs sheasked, “Are you sure hedoesn’t cater these from theMontgomery Inn?”

Stone’s never disappoints.But this night seemed special.Perhaps my fling with the

“new and improvedWest Side”made Stone’s point of differ-ence more obvious.

It’s nice when someoneknows your name, and yourpassion.

“We have desserts fromGary’s CheesecakeMr.Grawe.I bet you didn’t know thatGary’s Cheesecake used to becalled the Covedale Bakery.That’s because it was locatedon Rulison Avenue – in Cov-edale.” Then, with awink and agun, he added, “Sounds like atopic for one of your articles.”

As I began my early years, Iused a coloringbook. I begin to-day with amagic coloring bookwith my retirement being onblank pages for many years,and here today, it will all be col-ored in.

I began school on publictransportation, and am endingmy career on a school bus.

On June 26, 1946, KarenLynne Anderson entered theworld at The Christ Hospital at8 pounds 2.25 ounces, with a to-tal hospital bill for 10 days of$93.83.

In June 1964, I graduatedfrom Western Hills HighSchool, became a “candy strip-er” at The Christ Hospital, andmet my husband-to-be, RobertWeaver, who was employed atTheChristHospital. Therewasnoparkinggarage thenand,as I

depart, there isno employeeparking ga-rage again. Afull circle.

Then off toEvansville Col-lege in Indiana,returninghome in thesummers andbeing desk

clerk at The Christ Hospital.June1968wascollegegradu-

ation.Mycareerwas tobeginatthe Hamilton County WelfareDepartment, but a letter priorto starting came from JuneHosick, personnel director atThe Christ Hospital, that myapplication fromFebruarywasstill on file, with a request totalk withme “about several op-portunities particularly for

some one with your back-ground.”

I accepted the social workposition at The Christ Hospitaland on June 20,1968,my careerbegan, with the rest being his-tory.

Columbus Day, Oct. 12, 1968,Robert and Karen were mar-ried at the Westwood UnitedMethodist Church.

On Thursday, June 20, I hadcontinually worked as a socialworker at TCH for 45 years,and have kept all of you guess-ing about my departure. Atfirst, I was saying that Iwouldn’t be here this summer,and the last month that I wouldbe gone by summer. Well sum-mer officially starts Friday,June 21, the day my next jour-ney begins from tired to re-tired.Yea,my last day is tomor-

row.Many of you will remember

me by:» The smell of eggs every

morning in the office.» Ordering milk at every

evening functionwhen you hadbeer or wine.

» Sleepovers when the firsthint of snow was forecast.

» “Rolodex mind” consulta-tions, or sharing difficultcases.

»My chocolate habit.» The Pepsi always in hand,

and more recently iced tea» Shoes that always had to

match the outfit.I would like to be remem-

bered as a co-worker wrote:“Karen puts in the longest

hours of anyone I’ve met to as-sure that patient and familyneeds are met. Her dedication

and commitment are corner-stones of what The Christ Hos-pital is built upon. She is alwayswilling to take the extra time toteach and explain to me infor-mation and resources I needfor my job. She is a role modelfor others in her professionallife. I’ve seen her compassionand concern for the patientsmany, many times. Her caringand concern for others is whattheworldneedsmoreofnow. Inthis changing, fast-paced uni-verse, she is a beacon of lightand hope for us all. It is a privi-lege to work along side of her.”

Oct. 30 questionShould schools have manda-

tory drug tests for students?

“Employers, the militaryand professional sports teamshave mandatory drug tests,why not schools? Schools aresupposed to train you for whatis coming later in life. Get usedto it. Sooner or later, you willface one of these invasions ofyour privacy.”

F.S.D.

“Iwould love to sayyes, but Iwould also say there are toomany laws and groups thatwould oppose.

“I'm glad to see that severalprivate, not public tax-dollarschools, have enough guts totake on checking for drugs.

“I again will say as I alwayssay, as long as we have attor-neys and government stickingtheir noses into everything wewill have prolonged problems.

“If it ever comes to manda-tory drug testing it should notonly be restricted to students,but also to teachers and admini-stration, and be made aware tothe public, as we are taxpayersand they work for us.

D.J.

“During my working careerit always bugged me that therules I had to enforce and/orobeywere almost always due tothe 5percent. Somewhere Iwastold that about 5 percent of thepeople cause 90 percent of ourproblems.

“What will mandatory drug

testing correct? Who will payfor it? How much will the test-ing disrupt our schools achiev-ing their primary mission?Mandatory drug testing goestoo far.”

R.V.

“Absolutely not. A school isnot a prison.

“If a student is abusingdrugs and his or her perfor-mance at school suffers be-cause of it then it will result inthe normal school related con-sequences – low grades, disci-pline fornegativebehavior, etc.That is all the feedback anyoneshould need to become aware astudent is in trouble of somesort.

“It is not the school's job totreat well-behaved, conscien-tious, average students as if

they are criminals.”E.M.S.

“No on mandatory drugtests, for a number of reasons.Primarily because is gives stu-dents the message that ‘Wedon’t trustyou’and isanugly in-vasion of privacy for studentswho do not use drugs.

“It also seems to be a searchwithout probable cause. It willidentify a relative small per-centage of students at a greatcost.

“And what do the schools dowith the information? If a stu-dent fails the drug test does itlead to automatic suspension,mandatory drug educationclasses, orapermanent record?

“Way too many negativesand potential problems withthis plan.”

J.R.B.

“For athletes ... yes ... gener-al student population ... NO!

“Imagine the cost for thiswith somany schools are finan-cially strapped anyway, who isgoing to foot the bill?”

O.H.R.

“HELL NO!! Schools are in-stitutionsof learning, notpolicestates. Not to mention the inva-sion of privacy.

“If a child is taking prescrip-tion medication that has to bedisclosed prior to the test andmy kids medical history andrecords are protected fromgovernment intrusion.

“Ifmykid is ondrugs, it’smyresponsibility to deal with that,

not the school systems.”J.S.K.

“Arewe talkingabout all stu-dents when we are doing thisdrug testing?

“Where would the moneycome from?

“I think it should be based onwho the educators might sus-pect and if one looks or acts likesomething is amiss then thatperson should be tested. If theperson fails the drug test, thereshould be a concerted effort toget this person the proper help.

“While we are at it wouldn’tbe a bad idea to keep an eye onthe educators, they are not per-fect and a bad one can fallthrough the crack once in awhile.”

Dave D.

“Who's going to pay for thisintrusion? Drug testing is ex-pensive and invasive on therights of our students.

“Will they use hair sampleswhich can be the most compre-hensive, or blood, or urine?Willthere be resistance from par-ents who will take this privacyright to court? Who pays?

“I personally would refuseanyattemptat testingandforcethe district to seek a warrant.Would they be successful? Willit cost extra?

“The local school district isgood but not great. Concentrateonbringing thestandardsof theinstitutions up and leave thedrug problem to the parentsand law officials.”

Brad Grimm’s kidsgroaned a little when hewoke them early to dosome volunteer work forMake a Difference Day.

The complaining didn’tlast long.

Soon after they arrivedat A Child’s Hope Interna-tional in Sharonville, Em-ma, 9, and Brendan, 7,took to the task of packingfood for needy childrenwith enthusiasm. Ithelped that the place wasfilled withmusic andhundreds of volunteers,many of them other kids,working in a big roomthat felt more like a partythan a campaign to savethe world.

“It was a little roughgetting them up,” saidGrimm, of Liberty Town-ship, “but they’re having agood time now.”

Similar scenes playedout across the regionSaturday as parents, chil-dren, neighbors, co-work-ers and strangers cametogether forMake a Dif-ference Day events thatparticipants often saidwere as rewarding asthey were important.Parents brought theirchildren, neighbors camewith neighbors, andmorethan a few teenagersencouraged their momsand dads to join them.

“It shows them that it’simportant to give back,”Grimm said of his chil-dren.

Make a DifferenceDay startedmore than 20years ago, and the annualevent is now the largestnational day of communi-ty service. Thousands ofprojects were plannedacross the country.

At A Child’s Hope,more than 600 volunteersturned out in two differ-

ent shifts to pack boxes ofrice, soy and dried vege-tables for hungry chil-dren around the world,fromAfrica to poorneighborhoods in theUnited States.

Organizers turned theevent into a contest be-tweenmore than 20 tablesof volunteers. A videodisplay ticked down theminutes and showed howmany boxes of food hadbeen packed while volun-teers scrambled to mea-sure, weigh and pack thebags. Music blared fromloudspeakers, and kidsslapped high-fives when-ever they filled a box.

“The whole family cando this together,” saidCheryl Kemp, an adminis-trative assistant at AChild’s Hope.

Andmany did. TheGrimmsworked along-side three generations ofa family fromMason.GrandmaMargie Sawyerhelped her 16-year-oldgranddaughter, EmmaWittman, fill the bagswith rice and soy, whileEmma’s mom and step-father helped weigh andseal the bags a few feetaway.

Emma said she wantedto help a good cause butadmitted she had an ulte-rior motive. “I wanted tospend some time withmymom,” she said.

The Sharonville eventwas among the largest inthe region, but dozens ofothers took place through-out the day. Neighborshelped clean streets inNorth Avondale and Lin-wood, children collecteditems for orphans in DelhiTownship and animallovers raisedmoney forshelters inMadeira andAmelia.

Alex Linser, a Linwoodcommunity trustee,

joined about a half-dozenothers in a street-cleaningmission Saturdaymorn-ing. On Church Place, justnorth of Linwood’s busi-ness district, they cutaway overgrowth that hadcovered a sidewalk foryears.

Together, they filled apickup truck withbranches, leaves, trashand other debris.

“We can’t do every-thing,” Linser said, “but itwill look a lot better whenwe’re done.”

Another reclamationproject was underway inAmelia, wheremore than20 volunteers showed upto help Perla Kinne andher husband expand theAngel’s Rest Animal Sanc-tuary.

“It’s wonderful,” Kinnesaid, looking at a parkinglot filled with volunteers’cars. “It’s pretty amaz-ing.”

SAFE coalition hosts community roundtable in Cleves

Breast cancer aware-ness month is over. Itwent out with a bang forme in a very special way.

I was thepresenteronce againat MercyHealthWomen’sCenterreceptionin An-dersonTownship.

Stand-ing before

100-plus radiant survivorswasmore than inspiring;it showed the resilienceof the human spirit whenfaith is paired with goodmedicine.

My presentation wason the history of tea andtea parties. Some trivia:Did you know the reasoncreamwas first pouredinto tea was to preventthe very thin, fine chinacups from cracking whenboiling tea was pouredinto them? Also, the earli-est tea cups had no han-dles. They were heldcupped in the hands tokeep hands warm. And

tea sandwiches wereoriginally made a bit drysince women wore glovesand they didn’t want toget them soiled.

We had the best time,laughing and sharingstories. Among the treatsto take home fromGailGreenburg and her staffwere my shortbreadcookies. Shortbread isperfect for a tea partysince it’s such a versatiledough.

Rita’s no-failshortbread cutouts

Let the kids free formshapes or use a cookiecutter. Dough freezeswell, and so does thebaked cookie, sans icing.A nice gift from the kitch-en andmymost request-ed shortbread recipe.

2 cups flour1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder1⁄4 teaspoon salt2 sticks unsalted butter,room temperature

1⁄2 cup confectioner’s sugar2 teaspoons vanilla (or yourfavorite extract)

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Whisk together

flour, salt and bakingpowder. Set aside. Creambutter and gradually addsugar. Add vanilla. Blendflour mixture in. Doughwill be soft. Roll out onlightly floured surface orbetween two pieces ofplastic wrap to 1⁄4-inchthick or bit thicker if you

like. If the dough is toosoft to cut out shapes, putin refrigerator for about30 minutes. Cut out andplace on sprayed cookiesheet. Bake 15-20 minutesjust until edges are gold-en.

IcingWhisk together:

1 cup confectioner’s sugar1 teaspoon vanilla2-3 tablespoons water

Drizzle icing overcooled cookies, or make athicker icing with lesswater, add food coloringif using, and spread oncookies. Makes about twodozen.

Tips from Rita’sKitchen

To test to see if yourbaking powder is stillactive enough to leaven,put a teaspoonful in a cupof warmwater. It shouldfizz right away.

Really good ranchdressing

I’m still waiting forsomeone to come up witha Frisch’s Restaurantranch dressing clone for

a reader. I have calledKarenMaier at the corpo-rate office a couple oftimes and have left mes-sages with Lisa Normanin marketing, so I hope tohear something soon.Meanwhile, here’s a reci-pe fromMarie N., aNorthwest Press reader.“This goes togetherquicker than you’d think,and is delicious,” she said.A friend gave the recipeto her.

Blend together eitherin blender, food processoror by hand:

1 cupmayonnaise (Marieuses Hellman’s)

1⁄2 cup regular sour cream1 teaspoon garlic or to tastePalmful fresh dill, minced1 tablespoonminced freshonion chives (Marie saidyou can also usedmincedgreen onions)

Worcestershire, salt andblack pepper to taste

1⁄2 to 3⁄4 teaspoon clear orcider vinegar

Several dashes paprikaCayenne pepper to taste(Marie said go easy onthis)

Buttermilk, enough tomake

desired consistency (startwith 1⁄3 cup)

Handful fresh mincedparsley or 1 teaspoon dry

Chill several hoursbefore using and, if nec-essary, addmore butter-milk to get proper pour-ing consistency.

Tips from Rita’skitchen

Pick a perfect pineap-ple: It should smell fra-grant when you give it asniff. Just one cup ofpineapple has enoughmanganese, a trace min-eral, for building healthybones and connectivetissue. Plus pineapple haslots of vitamin C. Cannedpineapple is a goodsource of these nutrientstoo, but buy pineapplepacked in juice, not insugary syrup.

Scam artists are us-ing what continue to betough economic timesfor many to try to getmoney from them – soyou need to beware.

Jill, who prefers I notuse her last name, wroteshe received a call froma man named Brian.

“He called my homeand left a long recordedvoicemail threateningme and my husband thathe was from the IRS andthat we had to call backimmediately or legalaction would be taken,”Jill wrote.

The man left a phonenumber with a New York

area codeand Jillsays whenshe andher hus-bandcalledback, “An-other manwith anIndianaccent

answered and wantedour attorney’s name. Wesaid we don’t have oneand he was very nastysaying, ‘How much mon-ey can you send today?’We said, ‘Maybe a thou-sand dollars by nextThursday,’ and he said,

‘That’s not good enough,you will be arrestedtoday!’”

Jill said that reallyshook them up becausethey were already on apayment plan with theInternal Revenue Ser-vice, but their next pay-ment wasn’t due foranother month.

But the so-called IRSman said that paymentplan had been rejected.All the money needed tobe sent immediately,they were told, or theywould be arrested.

“He wanted our bankinformation or creditcard number but we said

‘No’ and the guy hungup. We called our at-torney who said it was ascam … I’ll bet a lot ofother people sent moneyand still owe the IRS.Just a heads up becauseI’m sure you are alreadyaware of this crazy scampreying on innocentpeople,” Jill wrote.

Yes, this scam hasbeen going around for afew years. In some casesthe caller leaves a re-corded message claim-ing to be from a creditcard company, a lawyeror a payday loan compa-ny in addition to claim-ing to be from the IRS.

The Better BusinessBureau says some ofthese scammers are outto get money while oth-ers are just trying to getyour personal informa-tion.

The BBB says neverreply to unsolicitedphone messages or clickon links provided in anemail asking for yourpersonal information. Ifa caller claims you owe adebt, ask questions. Thecaller should state whothey are, whom theyrepresent and, uponrequest, send you writ-ten proof you owe thedebt. Never give out

financial informationover the phone.

Bottom line, if some-one calls and tells youthey’ll have you arrestedunless you pay themimmediately: Remem-ber, it’s just a scam.Instead, you should con-tact the police, the stateattorney general and theBetter Business Bureauto report the phone call.

The LifeSpring Chris-tian Church is amulti-sitechurchwith sites inNorthCollegeHill (Clovernook),Westwood and Harrison.

One of the church’sbiggest desires is to con-nect with local schoolsand organizations to helpassist with communityimpact. This year eachsite was charged withfinding the best way toconnectwith local schoolsto assist with the begin-ning of the school year.This year the Westwoodand Harrison sites decid-ed to support a backpackdrive for its locations. Forthe Clovernook locationthe need was just a tad bitdifferent.

“When I spoke withSheri Johnson, principalof North College Hill Ele-mentary, it became evi-dent that their real needwould be to help in theclass room this year,” siteminister Tim Dunn said.

“That’swhenweadopt-ed an in-house campaign

called ‘Crates for theClassroom.’ We decidedthat in order to curb theexpense that many teach-ers are taking out of theirpocket each year to coversupplies, we would pro-vide a grade specificcrate full of supplies foreach teacher. Along withthat crate will be a smallgift bag with goodies, in-

cluding a gift card to a lo-cal store, and somesweets.Ourhope is tohelpbless the teacher and letthemknow thatwearebe-hind them as they begintheir year and to let themknow they are not alone.”

The project was coor-dinated by LifeSpring’sevent coordinator KarenMahan, who spent hours

traveling all over the areagetting the “best deals” tostretch the near $4,000that was raised for everyteacher. Mahan saved somuchmoneybydoing thisthat the church was ableto extend their gift toteachers who don’t have aclassroom, assistants,janitors, and office staff.

“Karen did a tremen-dous job. When we talkedabout the campaign wedecided thatwewanted toshare some love with theteachers who are impact-ingourkids in thecommu-nity. We felt like this wasthe best way to do that,”Dunn said.

“The real heroes arethe congregation mem-bers that helped to pro-vide the financial re-sources as well as packedand prepped the supplies.It just makes you smileseeing hardwork and sac-rifice going to such de-serving folks like theNCH Elementary teach-ers.”
