Village officials hope to by Friday,Aug. 9, complete work on storm water-management and landslide-preventionprojects on Walton Creek Road.

That’s according to George Kipp, In-dianHill’sprojectmanager, and itmeansthe work is on track to finish beforeschool starts as the village had hoped.

In the meantime, motorists will con-tinue to be detoured around WaltonCreek Road as they have since the pro-ject began in mid-July.

Detours involve Drake, Indian Hill,Miami, Muchmore and Varner roads.

The work on Walton Creek Road willcost some $130,000 and be financed withmoney Village Council set aside for it inIndianHill’s advanced-engineering, cul-vert-design and landside-contingencyfunds.

The Necamp Construction Co. ofHamiltonTownshipwon the contract forthe work after submitting the lowest offive bids.

The work includes:· Replacement of a concrete box cul-

vert with a 48-inch diameter concretepipe at the intersection of Walton Creekand Varner roads.

· Extension of a gabion basket wall atthe entrance of a corrugated metal pipeabout 250 feet south of the intersectionof Walton Creek and Varner roads byabout 30 feet.

· Addition of a new 105-foot concretedrilled pier wall on the east side of Wal-ton Creek Road just north of the villagecorporation line.

City Manager Dina Minneci has saiddoing all three projects at the same timewill save Indian Hill $10,000 to $15,000and reduce the inconvenience to resi-dents by closing Walton Creek Roadonce instead of multiple times.

For Indian Hill High School seniorWill Muller it was a classroom assign-ment.

However, it was an assignment thatgained him a spot as runner-up in an on-line competition.

Muller, a resident of Indian Hill, wasrunner-up inaConsumerTalkessaycon-test sponsored by an online economicswebsite Consumer Jungle(www.consumerjungle.org).

Muller and other classmates in his fi-nancial management class participatedin the online competition this pastspring.

“My best suggestion is don’t spendmoney you don’t already have,” saidMuller, whose essay focused on credit

cards.“Someonemaking$60,000ayearmay

thinktheycanspend$30,000butnotcon-sider other expenses.”

Muller simply expected a grade forcompleting the essay assignment. Hesaid he was surprised when he actuallygot an email from the company inform-ing him hewas a runner-up.

NotonlydidMullerreceiveagiftcer-tificate, but his essay will eventually beposted online at the Consumer Junglewebsite.

Muller was also recently part of awinning team in a Startup WeekendcompetitioninCincinnatigearedtowarddeveloping creative business ideas.

Muller saidheplans to followhis ownadvice on spending.

“I don’t want to spend in the wrongway or get credit card debt,” he said.

A multi-million dollarremodeling project, de-signed to brighten up oneof the Cincinnati region’slargest and most popularmalls, is nearing comple-tion.

The Kenwood TowneCentre started remoldingits commons area in Feb-ruary and is set to finishsometime this fall. Theshopping center is replac-ing old tile, removing ceil-ing beams that obstructits skylights and remov-ing brass guard rails andreplacingthemwithstain-less steel.

The remodeling pro-ject is focused on making the mall brighter and a

more enjoyable environ-ment for shoppers.

Some mall traffic hasbeen disrupted down thehall near Nordstrom, butcustomers are not com-

plaining.“Customers look at the

construction as a goodthing,” said Cindy Hart,marketingmanager at themall. “They know that itbrings good things.”

Apart from improvinglighting, the mall is alsoadding more ramps nextto someof its staircases tomake it easier for peoplein wheel chairs and par-ents pushing strollers.

“Redevelopment, ren-ovating and anything thatmakesamallmorebeauti-ful and appealing for cus-tomers, is something thatmalls are trying to do,”said Jesse Tron, spokes-man for the InternationalCouncil of Shopping Cen-ters (ICSC) .

Tron said that bringingin more lighting to themallmakessensebecauseit might make customerswant to spend more time

or come back to more of-ten.

This is the third multi-million dollar renovationthat the mall that has un-dergone since 2007. In2007 themall renovated toadd Nordstrom and in2012 renovated its foodcourt.

The mall is visited byaround 15 million shop-pers a year and has 180stores and restaurants.

With a store vacancyrate of 1 to 2 percent, the

mall is doing better thanits peers elsewhere in theU.S.

According to the ICSC,the average super region-al mall has a vacancy rateof 6.7 percent and the av-erage for all shoppingcenters in the U.S. is 9.7percent.

Hart said the reasonthat the mall has any va-cancies is mostly causedby the time it takes to ren-ovate spaces for new ten-ants.m

It’s a place where thelocal food communitymeets sustainability, andthe second Ohio ValleyGreenmarket is movingto Ault Park this year.

This year’s Greenmar-ket, hosted by EdibleOhio Valley, is 11 a.m. to 5p.m. Sunday, Aug. 4, andfeatures more than 50vendors.

“We produce a maga-zine that is really dedicat-ed to local food, and ourideawas to bring all theseother community mem-bers together that focuson other areas of sustain-ability,” said Julie Kra-mer, creativedirector forEdible Ohio Valley.

“Greenmarket is aplace to ... bring thepagesof the magazine to life.It’s like a huge farmersmarket and resource fair,and at the same time the

master gardeners willhave a speakers tent.”

Swain is also the fea-tured speaker at the com-munity dinner, which is5-9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 3,at the Peterloon Estate inIndian Hill. Tickets are$60 and include dinner bythe bite from local farm-ers and chefs, drinks andtours of the estate.

The majority of thevendors at Sunday’sGreenmarket will be lo-cal food producers, andthere are also nonprofitsfocused on sustainability,nurseries selling nativeplants, a few artisans andothers, Kramer said.

Speakers start at thetop of every hour begin-ning at 1 p.m.

Whole Foods also willhave kids activities andgive away a reusable gro-cery bag to the first 1,500

people who stop by thebooth.

“Our whole goal is toget people more informa-tion and make this wholeidea of sustainability eas-ier,” Kramer said. “Howdo you make it more con-venient and how do youconnect the dots for peo-ple?”

Last year Greenmar-ket was a big success andthey were able to intro-duce residents to newproducers, organizationsand the magazine, saidReed DeWinter, an illus-trator and editor for Ed-ible Ohio Valley.

“They were amazedwith the variety in theirown backyard,” he said.“You get to meet the peo-ple who are making yourfood, and that’s a rare op-portunity in this day andage.”

INDIANHILL—After a busysummer, prep golfers areabout to get the early start onthe high school season on nu-merous local courses. The fol-lowing isapreviewof teams inthe Indian Hill Journal cover-age area.

BoysCincinnati Country Day

enters the season after a 2012that saw the Indians finish asrunner-up in theMiami ValleyConference behind SevenHills, sectional runner-up be-hind Summit Country Day be-fore winning the Division IIIdistrict title and finishing12thin the state.

Coach Greg Faulhabergraduated four players - in-cluding three starters - fromthat team, but returns the de-fending district medalist insenior Ishan Ghildyal.

“Some people think we’lltake a step back graduating somany players, but I still havefive coming back and Ishan isdefinitely thestrongestplayerI’ve ever coached.”

Joining Ghildyal is class-mate Patrick Wildman, staterunner-up in tennis eachof thelast two seasons. A trio of re-turning juniors provide astrong nucleus: Twins Taylorand AlexMaier and Jacob En-gelke.

Faulhaber expects anotherthree-way race between hisclub, Seven Hills and Summitfor the MVC crown.

“Mytypicalgoal for themisto peak at the end of the sea-son,” Faulaber said. “I will bepreaching constant improve-ment. Last yearwedidn’t havea very strong regular season -maybe .500 - but they broughtit all together in the postsea-son and that’s what you lookfor.”

CCD opens Aug. 6 in theMadeira Invitational at TheVineyard and follows that upwith an appearance in the An-derson Invitational Aug. 8.

Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy finished second inthe Miami Valley Conferenceboys tournament in 2012, com-ing in behind champion SevenHills and its league player ofthe year Pauley Gosiger.

The Eagles had a first teamall-MVC selection in DanielVezdos, aswell asapairof sec-ond-team picks in Sean Eslickand Bobby Kelley

Head coach Jonathan Wil-liams - a1999CHCAgraduate -is in his fourth season at thehelm for the Eagles. He is anassistant PGA pro at the golfCenter at Kings Island.

Indian Hill lost seven sen-iors to graduation from their2012 third-place CincinnatiHills League team, includingthree all-CHL selections.

Only three return from theBraves varsity in senior Pat-rick Amato, junior MichaelThorsen and sophomore Con-nor Hjelm.

“We definitely are going tobe relying on them,” coachTopher Sheldon said. “We arecounting on our one senior,Patrick Amato, for some lead-ership to help other guys onvarsity learn the ropes.”

The Braves begin Aug. 8 atthe CHL Preview at Weather-wax.

“JV guys are going to bemoving up and potentiallysome incoming freshmen,”Sheldon said. “It’ll be a little

bit of a different year for us.We do have some talent in thepipeline and hopefully they’llbe ready for varsity golf. Ouryear’s going to be 2014 I think.This year will be a rebuildingand learning year.”

The Crusaders were sec-ond in the Greater CatholicLeague-South in 2012. In his27th year as Moeller’s headcoach, Rick Bohne has had 26consecutive winning seasons.

Bohne returns two startersin juniors Quinn Sullivan andNickGruber.Sullivanwassec-ond-team GCL South last sea-son. Bohne also will count onsenior Mitch Lamping, juniorBen Sattler and sophomoreMichael O’Brien.

“Though we are young, ourteam has worked hard in theoffseasonanddevelopedgreatteam chemistry,” Bohne said.“They are coachable andwantto get better. Theyhave talent;the mystery is will they put itall together.”

Moeller starts the seasonoffAug. 6 at theMountVernonInvitational.On that sameday,the Varsity Gold squad willplay at Darby Creek in theKiller Bmatch.

Seven Hills won the MiamiValley Conference last seasonand has one of the top playersin the area returning to helpdefend the title.

“The Seven Hills golf pro-gram has experienced suc-cess for a number of years inthe MVC and the postseasontournament,” said head coachDoug Huff. “We have the sec-tional medalist (junior BrianGoertemoeller) returning,alongwithastrongsupportingcast.”

Those include senior Con-nor Rousan, junior Ben Kingand sophomore Alyssa Aik-man, whom Huff called anNCAA Division I prospect inwomen’s golf. Those three -plus Goertemoeller - allplayed for a Stingers squadthat finished ninth in the Divi-sion III state championshiplast season.

GirlsCincinnati Country Day

qualified for the Division IIdistrict tournament as a teamfor the first time in school his-tory in 2012. The Indians hopehistory can repeat.

Junior Kacie Bradfish willfigure heavily in any returntrip to district. She is a two-time state qualifier as an indi-vidual and finished second inthe girls Junior Met this sum-mer with a two-day score of73-74-147.

INDIAN HILL — It’s time forlocal runners to go the distancein cross country with the firstmeets coming up later in Au-gust. The following is a previewfor high school trail trotters inthe Indian Hill Journal cover-age area.

CincinnatiCountry Day

The Indians finished sixth inthe 2012 Miami Valley Confer-ence boys league meet. AlecBunge was a second-team all-league performer.

CCD,which lastwona leaguetitle in 2008, will chase four-time defending champion Sum-mit Country Day to the finishline.

On the girls side, the Indiansdidn’t field a team in the 2012MVCmeet.

CCD opens the 2013 seasonby hosting its own invitationalmeet Aug. 24. The Indians closethe year with three straightmeetsatVoiceofAmericaPark,the CHCA Invitational Oct. 2,the MVC championships Oct. 8and the district meet Oct. 19.

Indian HillHeading intoher23rdseason

as head coach at IndianHill, Su-san Savage is coming off a sea-son where her teams were run-ners-up at the district meet.

The Indian Hill boys werethird in the Cincinnati HillsLeague, but rallied in the dis-trict meet. Looking to post goodtimes this season are seniorsJoe Majchzak, Josh Leibel andHarrison Zwolshen, along withjuniorWells Coalfleet and soph-omore Trent Geyer.

GeyerwasCHL second teamasafreshmanandposteda17:29at the district meet in Mason.

Leading theLadyBraveswillbe senior Elena Horton, juniorsSabrina Bulas, MacKenzieOwen, Sara Schwanekamp andKelli Gerlinger and sopho-mores Rhian Horton and AnnaDefendiefer.

Rhian Horton was the CHLRunner of the Year as a sopho-more for Coach of theYear Sav-ageandher sister,Elena, postedthe team’s best time of 19:46 be-fore leaving to play hockey inVermont.

“Both teams have a strong

core of returning athletes whoare dedicated to doing what isnecessary for the team to suc-ceed,” Savage said.

MoellerThe Crusaders have had

four-straight winning seasonsand were third in the GreaterCatholic League-South last sea-son.

Returning starters for coachDave Prenger are NicholasMendel andMitch Poch. Othersto keep an eye on are Drew De-nover, Ross Griffith, BrendanMulvaney, Jacob Menke andMatt DeWine.

“Wehave a solid junior class,many of which have varsity ex-perience,” Prenger said. “It willstill be a huge challenge for usto compete with the likes of St.Xavier and Mason, but I do be-lieve we will match up betterwith most of the other areateams.”

Moeller starts the seasonwith the Moeller Primetime In-vitational evening race on Aug.23.

Mount Notre DameTheCougarsare ledbyMadi-

son Gentile, who made GGCLsecond team as a freshman.Gentile is coached by MariaMcMasters, a graduate ofMNDand a member of the CougarsHall of Fame.

ChloeGriffith, CelesteBerg-man,EmilySchappacher,MoiraFiebig and Beth Heimbuch areothers to watch.

“We are young and deter-mined, with some new fresh-men,” McMasters said.

MND begins with the FinishTiming Invitational Aug. 24 inWilmington.

Seven HillsSeven Hills finished sixth in

the Miami Valley Conferenceboys championship meet in2012.

The Stingers lost only onerunner to graduation from thatteam. Unfortunately for them,it was their only all-league pickin senior Michael Bain.

Similar situation for thegirlsteam - who placed second be-hindSummitCountryDayintheleaguemeet -where league run-ner of the year Laura Gonzalesgraduated.

The good news is SevenHillsreturns sophomore Nia Page,whowasa second teamall-MVCselection as a freshman.

Ursuline AcademyUrsulineAcademyhas a new

coach and some lofty goals.Coach Rachel Bea knows

running, having won the 2012Flying Pigmarathon in additionto previous coaching stops atNotre Dame Academy, SimonKenton High School and North-ern Kentucky University.

She takes the reins of a Lionsteam that qualified for the statemeet only once in school histo-ry; thatwas10yearsago in2003.Bea would like a return trip toColumbus.

But first, “Our primary goalas a team is to win the GGCL,”Bea said. “We’re looking verystrong, but until we actuallyrace, it’s hard to have a com-plete handle on things. I knowMcAuley and St. Ursula arevery good. We have a toughleague.”

Ursulinedidn’t lose anyof itstop sevenrunners fromthe2012squad to graduation, but stillonly has one returning seniorstarter in Christine Frederick.Joining her in the lead packwillbe juniors Grace Kelly, Cather-ine Sinke, Mirnada Grigas andColleen Johnston.

“We just have such a deep,strong team that it’s tough tomention everybody,” Bea said.“But they are all working hard.They’ve put in the miles overthesummerandthey’llbereadyto run. And with only one re-turning senior, we’re set up tobe pretty good for a few years.”

Among the aforementionedsupporting cast is a three-yearstarter in senior Chase Freder-ick,whowill serveasco-captainwithBradfish.SophomoreMag-gie Bernish – in just her secondyear of golf – returns to addsome experience to the lineup.

“It’s really exciting,” Dunnsaid. “It’s going to be a greatseason.”

One that opensAug. 8atFair-field Greens for the Division Ipreseason tournament.

“It’s really a reflection of thesectional tournament,” Dunnsaid. “We’ll seea lotof the teamswe’ll see in thepostseason thereand get a good test to start theyear.”

Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy enters its second sea-son of varsity competition withan eye on improvement. Everyplayer from the Eagles inaugu-ral season returns and headcoach Don Faimon said hissquad could make some noise.

“We’re starting from a littlebetter position than we did lastyear,” he said. “Our two bestplayers are only a sophomoreand a junior and we have roomto grow.”

Those players are sopho-more Morgan Bowan - whomissed qualifying for the Divi-sion II district tournament by astroke as a freshman - and ju-nior Anna Faimon, the coach’sdaughter who scores in the low80s.

Also back are senior EliseJackson, last season’s most im-proved golfer, classmateMindyKong and junior Clarissa Ja-

cobs. A trio of freshman couldpush the veterans for startingspots.

Keller is the team’s only sen-ior and placed 10th in the Divi-sion II state tournament lastseason.

“Our goal is that the entireteam will go this year,” Annettsaid. “All of the girls are return-ing. Last year we missed goingto state by one team. Hopefullythe girls will be more seasonedthis year andwill qualify for thestate tournament.”

A publication of

New legislation may help sewer woesOur sewer rates in Hamil-

ton County have increased bya staggering 130 percent overthe last 10 years. What’s more,the county faces paying anadditional $3.2 billion in man-dated sewer update costs –enough money to build twoBrent Spence Bridges! Jaw-dropping bills like ours areoccurring in communitiesacross America.

Why such huge rate in-creases? Because local com-munities are attempting tocomply with consent decreesthey’ve been forced to agree toby the federal EPA. Currently,the EPA takes a one-size-fits-all, top-down, Washington-knows-best approach in en-forcing sewer and stormwaterstandards. This tactic has ledto exorbitant costs whichmake it next to impossible for

local commu-nities to ade-quately fundpolice, fire,road repairand other localpriorities. It’sa big problem.

Awhileback, Hamil-ton CountyCommissionerTodd Portune

came to me seeking help onthis important issue. He’s beenworking with a coalition ofother local government offi-cials all across the countrystruggling with the same prob-lem. Todd and I, our staffs andthe coalition have been work-ing together to come up with asolution. And I believe we’vefound it.

On July 17, I introduced

legislation which, if passed,would give local communitiesmore flexibility to come upwith innovative, less expensiveways to address their waste-water and stormwater chal-lenges. Communities wouldstill have to achieve the samehigh standards for clean waterbut additional flexibilityshould allow many communi-ties to do so in a more afford-able and cost-effective man-ner.

Specifically, my bill wouldcall for the EPA to allow 15pilot communities acrossAmerica to work with the EPAto set up their own program tocome into compliance withclean water standards.

Everybody wins under thiscommon-sense approach. Byallowing the EPA to work moreeffectively with pilot commu-

nities, residents of those com-munities should get cleanerwater at a lower cost. Mean-while, Congress, the EPA andaffected state agencies will beable to study and learn fromthese programs and, if suc-cessful, eventually allow morelocal communities to adoptwhat works best in their area,thus saving taxpayers a lot ofmoney while still maintainingstringent clean water stan-dards.

It’s my hope, and goal, thatHamilton County will be cho-sen as one of the 15 pilot pro-grams. Our community, ofcourse, would have to applyand compete for one of the 15slots in a fair and above-boardprocess. But if selected, theHamilton County Commission-ers estimate this legislationcould save county ratepayers

hundreds of millions of dollarscompared to the current esti-mated cost of mandated re-pairs.

This has been a difficultand challenging issue for ourcommunity, and I want tothank and commend Commis-sioner Portune for his leader-ship in addressing it in a veryinnovative and thoughtfulmanner. I guess this is at leastone example of bipartisanshipat work – a Democrat and aRepublican working togetherto get something done for ourcommunity, and for our coun-try.

Last week’s questionAfter the George Zimmerman

acquittal inFlorida,AttorneyGen-eral Eric Holder has said his de-partment will review so-called“stand-your-ground” lawsthatal-low a person who believes theyare in danger to use deadly forcein self-defense. Do you support“stand-your-ground” laws? Whyor why not?

“I do not support stand yourground laws and don't believe inusing guns. If Zimmerman hadstayed in his car or not beenarmed Trayvon Martin wouldnot have gotten shot that night.

“Stopping profiling of non-whitecitizensbypoliceandvigi-lantes/neighborhood-watchclowns is the more importantmatter here. President Obamawas exactly right to make hisstatement the day before thepeaceful demonstrations lastFriday. A lot of prejudiced peo-ple are not capable of admittinghow right Obama was in doingthat last week. The bigots whokeptasking toseeObama'sbirthcertificate were engaging inprofiling, too."

TRog

“No matter what the lawsays, the best way to defuse aconfrontation between two peo-ple is for one of them to with-draw. There is no amount of 'be-ing right' that can compensateyoufor thegriefyouwill experi-ence after you use deadly forceto repel an assailant, even if youare a police officer.

“Stand your ground lawstend to give people the false as-surance that they can resolvethe situation by staying put andescalate the situation further.As a gun owner and concealedcarry permit holder, I havethought long and hard aboutwhat it would take to provokemetodrawmyweapononanoth-er humanbeing. The correct an-swer is that the threat has to bereal, obvious and inescapable.

“I must believe that I orsomeone I love is going to die orbe mortally injured and I can'tdisengage. There is an old say-ing that you never draw aweap-on on someoneyoudonot intendtokill.Thethreatbetterwarrantthat reaction or it will negativ-ely change your life forever. Assoon as you draw a gun in a fist-fight, you become the aggres-sor.”

F.S.D.

“Eric Holder should havebeen replaced some time ago.For him to continue to debasethe law(s) of the land and theConstitution and now measureAmerican's as they defendhome, community, and proper-ty, is typical of our current city/state/county/fed/media intru-sion into the daily lives of 'com-monmen'.

“A jury was selected. Theywere legally bound to find thisman one way or the other ...that'showitworks.Everyonegohome, includingMr. Holder.”

K.P.

“I don't support 'stand-your-ground' if itmeans someone hastodie. I'mnot surewhetherOhiohas this law, but I don't think so.

“I don't believe inpeoplehav-ing guns, so I could never sup-port private citizens cruisingneighborhoods looking for trou-ble with a gun in their pocket."

E.E.C.

“I think that anyone shouldbeable toprotect themself fromharm.

“That being said, it is tragicthat someone was killed, andthat someone had to make thedecision to fire a weapon to pro-tect themself. I do not believethat George Zimmerman hadany intention of killing TrayvonMartin, and was shocked tolearn that the boy was dead.

“What's a shame is that thistragic incident was made into aracial issue.What if theHispan-ic community rallied for Mr.Zimmerman saying that peoplewere picking on him because ofhis race? What if I disagreedwith the O.J. verdict andmarched in protest?Or the infa-mous bathtub death which hasbeen the topic if several trials?

“What our system of justicedoes ismake these things as fairas HUMANLY possible. Ofcourse there will be disagree-

mentsabout theverdict ineverytrial, but unless we want to dis-mantle our entire justice sys-tem, we need to move on.

“It seems that the prosecu-tion failed to prove their case,which makes me wonder whythe federal government is be-coming involved. I guess thesqueakywheelgets theoil.May-be those of us who are too politeto make waves should do a littleshouting too.”

J.K.

“A Googling of 'stand yourground law' results in thegener-al explanation that the individ-ual is permitted to defend one-self anywhere within the juris-diction, as though it were insideyour own home. That is taken tomean the individual does nothave to retreat or take evasiveaction regarding the situationconfronting them.

“Since the individual's deci-sion in such a case is subject tojudicial review, i.e., in a court-room; I believe 'stand yourground' laws do not in them-selvesposea threat to thepublicor usurp the rights of another.”

R.V.

“I wholeheartedly supportstand-your-ground laws. Ourforefathers never intended forAmerican citizens to be left de-fenseless or to be unable to pro-tect themselves from peoplewho want to do harm to us.

“If these laws are thrown outor if the Second Amendment isrepealed so that we can no long-er carry weapons the criminalswill be theonlyones leftwhoarearmed and law-abiding citizenswill be left without a way to de-fend themselves and their fam-ilies.

“A society inwhich everyonewants 'free stuff' is a dangerousplace because folks feel thatthey can take whatever theywant from you ... even your life...while robbingyouofyourpos-sessions.

“Responsible, trained gunowners are not a danger to any-oneelse.ThecriminalsARE.Weneed to be able to protect our-selvesfromthemwhenour livesare endangered.”

C.H.

“This is a good topic. The'stand-your-ground' laws werewritten as a self-defense law inmany states so deadly force canbe used to protect one’s life, orthe life of others, not property.

“What I understand is thislaw applies when deadly forcehas to be used as last resort, andwhen there is absolutely no es-cape from the attacker.

“But for someone who hasthe opportunity to escape the at-tack and get away, that has to befollowed, not for someone tocontinue to followorprovoke anattack.

“Yes, the 'stand-your-ground'should be carefully reviewedfor everyone's protection.”

O.H.R.

“I stopped listening to thenews about this case when Ilearned that the police depart-ment told George Zimmermanto go home and leave the polic-ing to them. Florida wants to re-invent law. Let them try, and letus all avoid going there untilthey get it figured out.”

N.F.

“I totally support 'stand yourground' laws.George Zimmer-man is obviously a decent andhonorablemansweptup inatsu-nami of race-baiting by racistfools! It really is a non-news sto-ry!!!”

J.G.

“As Americans we are enti-tled to our guns and are entitledto protect ourselves. However,the George Zimmerman case isa poor case to support or ques-tion 'stand-your-grounds' laws.

“He is a vigilante who wastold to stand down by law en-forcement. No one is safe whenan untrained individual decidesto take the law into their ownhands.”

D.G.B.

July 17 questionDo you agree with the new

abortion laws that were includedin Ohio’s recently approved bud-

get, such as prohibiting publichospitals entering into writtenagreementswith ambulatory sur-gical centers that perform abor-tions to accept their patients incase of emergency, and requiringdoctors to test for a fetal heart-beat, then inform the patientseeking an abortion in writing ofthe presence of that heartbeat,and then provide statistical likeli-hood that the fetus could be car-ried to term?Why or why not?

“I've read that Ohio has thecountry's most stringent abor-tion laws, and I resoundinglyagreewith those included in ourstate's recent budget. Under thenew laws, getting an abortion inOhio will be more difficult, as itshould be.

“I am also grateful that inOhio we, who through our ac-tions and prayers uphold therights of all unborn babies tolife, do not have to see our taxdollars spent to supportPlannedParenthood, the world's largestabortion provider.

“When women are informedin writing that the heart of theirbaby is beating, surely theirconscience will tell them if theygo ahead with the abortion theyare denying the right to life toanother human being.

“Women say they shouldhave rights over their ownbody,but it is someone else's body intheir womb, and nobody has theright to take another's life!

“For those girls/women whofeel pressuredbyothers to haveanabortion, thismight helpgivethem the courage to changetheir mind and give their babylife.

“Why is there such an outcryfor protecting the rights of allother people and groups in thiscountry, except for the rights ofunborn babies. They have aGod-given right to life."

I couldn’t resist buying anextra pound of dark cherriesfrom the grocery. Not to eatout of hand or put into fruitsalads, but to make cherry

bounce. It’s anold fashionedliqueur with trueheirloom status.

I believe theShakers used tomake somethinglike cherrybounce and usedit as a medicinalfor sore throats,etc. The recipeis a hand-written

one frommy friend Ann Ru-dloff, a Kentucky reader. Hermom, Mary, made it everyyear. Mary said it would curejust about anything. She’s inheaven now and is probablystill brewing up batches! I’veknown friends to use it as anafter dinner cordial and tospoon the cherries from thebottom of the bottle onto icecream or cake.

Classic cherry bounceMary used to use sugar

string candy, several pieces,for the sugar. I can’t alwaysfind that so I use regular sugar.

1pound dark cherries stemmedbut not pitted.

2 cups sugar1 bottle bourbon whiskey

Put cherries in glass jar.Pour sugar and whiskey over.Put lid on. Shake each day untilsugar dissolves. Here’s thekicker, though. Wait about 4-6months before drinking. I keepmine in my pie safe. Great as aholiday gift. Be sure and put onthe label that the cherries havepits.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenI’m substituting raw honey

for the sugar in one of my

batches. I’ll let you know howit turns out.

Summermuffaletta witholive dressing

A bit messy to eat, but oh sogood! Tomatoes, red onionsand lettuce from the gardenmake this a favorite summersandwich.

One loaf Italian or favoritebread, sliced into two horizon-tally. You can use the round orlong loaf.

Filling:

1⁄2 pound each: Havarti orprovolone cheese and ham

1⁄4 pound salamiTomato slicesRed onion ringsLeaf lettuce

Dressing:Go to taste on this. If you

don’t like black olives, usegreen olives. You may wind upwith dressing left over. Itmakes a nice spread for wraps.1⁄2 cup finely chopped black olives2⁄3 cup olive oil

1⁄3 cup red wine vinegarMinced onion to taste (start with 1tablespoon)

Palmful fresh basil, chopped1 teaspoonminced garlic1 tablespoon fresh oregano,minced or 1 teaspoon dried

Pepper to tasteWhisk together dressing

ingredients. Set aside.Hollow out bottom loaf,

leaving 1⁄2 thick sides. Hollowout top loaf, but leave sides abit thicker. Spread dressing oninside of top and bottom

loaves. Set top aside. Startlayering meats, cheese, vege-tables and lettuce, brushingeach layer with dressing, untilyou run out of filling. Presseach layer down as you go.Press top onto sandwich andwrap and chill for at least 1hour or up to 8 hours. Cut intobig wedges to serve.

Can you help?Perpetual bread “starter.”

For Nanci P. who said she waswatching Paula Deen’s showand a person brought with hera starter that she had had for42 years. “She added a bit toher cinnamon yeast rolls, butshe said you can add to anybread, muffin, etc. How wouldI create my own starter andare they difficult to feed, keeptemperature proper, and anyother criteria?”

Nanci told me this is not asourdough starter, and I’mthinking it’s something like myfriendship bread starter, whichcan be kept for eons as long asit’s kept fed. It can also befrozen. Does anybody have astarter similar to what Nanciwants?

Greyhound Grille’s pastaGabrielle. Kentucky readerMary Ann B. would love toknow how to make this orsomething similar.

Update on 7-Up cake.Thanks to all who sent in thisrecipe for TomW. I am paringthrough them and will shareone soon. Readers sent in bothfrom scratch recipes and onesthat start with a cake mix.

When you buy some-thing from a door-to-doorsalesman you have threedays in which to cancel.

However, one areawoman says she had ahard time trying to can-cel a purchase made byher mother and her ex-perience serves as alesson for us all.

Renee Gruseck, ofPrice Hill, says a door-to-door salesman sold hermother a new vacuumcleaner. The problem isshe didn’t need a newvacuum cleaner. “I camein and took a look at thesweeper and the contract

and got onthe phonewith com-pany,” shesaid.

Thedistributorof thevacuumcleanerhad soldthe unit

with lots of attachments.So she had her mothersign to cancel the dealand then called the com-pany to explain abouther mother’s mild cogni-tive impairment.

“I explained to them

that there was an impair-ment and that they’d bebest served discussing itwith me. My concernwas if she cancels it theywould try to resell thesweeper to her,” Gru-seck said.

Nevertheless, whenthe company returned topick up the vacuumcleaner and return hermother’s sweeper, hermother signed a newcontract to buy thevacuum cleaner again.

Gruseck said all shewants to do is return theentire vacuum cleanerand get back her moth-

er’s sweeper. But at thispoint, she was having ahard time dealing withthe company. “I had anappointment scheduledwith one of their employ-ees a week ago at 8:30 inthe evening and theydidn’t show up,” she said.

“There are othermethods of sweepingand cleaning your floorthat doesn’t require a$1,500 sweeper,” Gru-seck said. Actually, whenyou include the 25 per-cent interest rate in thethree-year paymentcontract she signed, thetotal cost of the sweeper

comes to more than$2,100.

“She could afford thesweeper, but it was amatter that she didn’tneed a sweeper. She hada sweeper. She has hercarpets professionallycleaned so there’s noneed for her to have thatsweeper,” Gruseck said.

Finally, the companyscheduled another pick-up and this time Grusecktook off from work soshe could be there. As aresult, she was able toreturn the unit and getback her mother’svacuum — along with

the money her motherhad already put down onthe unit.

Bottom line, remem-ber you have three daysto cancel a door-to-doorsale. And by all meanskeep an eye on olderrelatives who may notfully realize what they’regetting themselves intowith some of those con-tracts.

The volunteers and neigh-borhood food pantries of St.Vincent de Paul-Cincinnati willbe able provide an additional12,000 meals this summer to lo-cal struggling families thanksto the Strike Out Hunger FoodDrive.

Reds fans who donated twonon-perishable food items June7 and June 8 at Great AmericanBall Park received a ticket to afuture Reds game, courtesy ofthe The Cincinnati Reds Com-munity Fund. WLWT joined theReds and St. Vincent de Paul insponsoring the drive, whichcollected15,600 pounds of food.

“We are tremendouslygrateful to The Reds, WLWTand Reds’ fans for supportingthis year’s drive. Many hungry

families will have food thissummer because of them,” saidLiz Carter, executive directorof St. Vincent de Paul-Cincin-nati.

St. Vincent de Paul providedfood to more than 100,000 peo-ple in 2012, with half of that as-sistance given to families withchildren. The food is providedthrough network of neighbor-hood food pantries and morethan 900 parish-based volun-teers who visit the homes ofstruggling families in the theirown communities to give assis-tance and hope.

MADEIRA — Residents onShewango Way in Madeira arehoping a sidewalk will soon beinstalled, but some also wantadditional measures to in-crease pedestrian safety.

A petition was circulatedand signed by residents to in-stall a sidewalk after MadeiraPolice Lt. Greg Zumbiel pre-sented findings of a study, ex-plaining speeding isn’t as prev-alent as residents might think.Zumbiel recommended theresidents pay for a sidewalk asthe most effective way to curbsafety concerns.

“This street is an absolutehazard to anyone who stepsfoot on it,” JaneAckerson, She-wango Way resident, wrote inan email. “There have been nu-merous close calls with bothchildren and dogs, and resi-dents have even reported thatmotorists have aimed their ve-hicles at them, as we walkdown the side of the road.”

Madeira officials are look-ing at alternative options forfunding the sidewalk thatcould include an assessment tothe residents, said Tom Moell-er, city manager.

While the department willcontinue to patrol the street tocombat speeding and passingthrough stop signs, PoliceChiefFrankMaupinofferednospecific times to avoid divulg-ing department operations.

Residents also asked the de-partment to lower the speed

limit to 20 mph, adopt a zero-tolerance speeding policy – is-sue citations to anyone exceed-ing 25mph – and for the city toinstall speed humps. None ofthe speed-limit policies are be-ingconsideredbecauseof legalconcerns with changing thelimit and impracticality of is-suing citations for going1mphover a speed limit Zumbielsaid.

Installing speed humpswould impede snow plow oper-ations and, therefore, is unlike-ly.

“I feel sure that most of theresidents of Shewango Way

join me in thanking the city,and in particular, Lt. Zumbielfor the many hours they spentaddressing thisproblem,”Ack-erson said. “When one residentwas told that the snow remov-ers didn't want to lift theirplows off the ground, he re-marked: ‘It would be better forthe snow removers to lift theirplows off the ground than forus to lower one of our childreninto it.’ I couldn't agree more.”

haunting, but the imagesare always crisp and ex-act,” said Gary Walton,poet, novelist and editorof the Journal of Ken-tucky Studies. Local au-thor Pauletta Hanseladds, “These waters arerich with language, mem-ory, insight and history,both personal and soci-etal. Pettit is not afraid totake on the big issues.”

Pettit has publishedtwo other books andserves as the contributingpoetry editor for variouspublications. She has alsoearned praise from hercolleagues at UC BlueAsh, where she receivedthe Distinguished Teach-

ingAward this year for allof her contributions andleadership in teaching lit-erature and writing.

MADEIRA — City officials re-ceived eight proposals for therailroad depot, but before a de-cision is made, residents willhave their say.

After a May 8 fire damagedthe kitchen and roof of the de-pot, Madeira City Council de-cided to accept proposals for anew business to occupy the his-toric building.

Ideas range from an icecreamshop to candy store and aParisian diner andwine bar. Lo-cal radio host Bill Cunninghamwants to open Root Beer Junc-tion – modeled after the RootBeer Stand in Sharonville –andwouldbring the city aminimum$1,500 a month in rent, accord-ing to the proposal.

“The publicity I will garnerfor our business district will beincredible,” Cunningham saidin the proposal. “I lived here for25 years and continue to sup-port all things Madeira.”

ThePaxton’sGrill ownershipgroup hoping to open aMadeiralocation also submitted a pro-posal, but has yet to decide on aname saying it will be a “histor-ic name related to Madeira.”The group lost its exclusive-ne-gotiating rights with the cityTuesday, but could still acquirethe Muchmore and HosbrookHomes’ property adjacent tothe depot on Miami Ave for aPaxton’s.

Other proposals are for a

candy store, gourmet burgerrestaurant, health cafe, and Pa-risian diner called Baguette.

City officials, however,might not award a lease to anyof the eight entrepreneurs untilthey decide what to do with thedepot. City council decided toseek public input and possiblymake some changes to the de-pot’s interior before acceptingany of the offers.

“Therewas suggestion of theidea of modifying the train sta-tion, really upgrading it to kindof a base level of finish,” saidMike Steur, councilman and

economic development com-mitteemember. “So that’s goingto have to be done anyway nomatter who moves in there.”

Those changes would in-clude electrical work and othernecessary upgrades to infra-structure, but also installingnewwalls and flooring to createa “white-box condition” whereany business could move in andstart fresh, Steur said.

City Manager Tom Moellerand city architect David Ball-weg are assigned to come upwith ideas.

“We are trying to provide a

report to city council in the nexttwo to three weeks,” Moellersaid. “The report would includecost estimates and recommen-dations for work to be accom-plished to the interior to thebuilding.”

City Council will host a spe-cial public meeting to give resi-dents the opportunity to pro-vide input on what they wouldlike to see in the depot. No datehas been set for the hearing butit will occur before the Aug. 26council meeting.

The goal for the depot devel-opment is to protect the historic

integrity of the depot, growbusiness in Madeira and en-hance the historic district,Steur said.The last time thecitywent through a proposal proc-ess, it awarded a lease to Cre-ativities Art Studios in theMuchmore House.
