Indian Hill Journal - July 2, 2009

Despite the “green menace”making its mark on Indian Hill’sneighboring communities ofMariemont and Terrace Park, Indi-an Hill officials have not devel-oped a plan to deal with the prob-lem.

Recently, officials in TerracePark and Mariemont found evi-dence of the emerald ash borer, awood-eating beetle from China.

Marty Chadwell, assistantsuperintendent of Indian Hill Pub-lic Works, said the village is awareof problems that could be present-ed by the emerald ash borer, buthasn’t put a plan in place to dealwith the concern.

He said Indian Hill containsmany ash trees in the villagerights of way, but few have beenfound dead due to the insect.

Indian Hill Manager MikeBurns said the village probablyhas “hundreds” of village-ownedash trees.

Chadwell said the infestationhasn’t been as bad as many ini-tially thought, so village workerswill put off dealing with it untillater in the year unless the prob-lem worsens.

“We just deal with (the deadash trees) at the end of fall,” hesaid.

John Scherpenberg, mainte-nance superintendent forMariemont, said the village cur-rently has more than 20 ash treesinfested with the emerald ashborer.

“We knew this was coming,”Scherpenberg said.

“Some trees still look healthy(but) it’s amazing how muchdamage they can do.”

He estimated the emerald ashborer has been in Mariemont for a

few years, but the village ash treesstarted showing signs of infesta-tion this spring.

Scherpenberg said the beetle ismost active between May andSeptember, and Mariemont plansto remove infected ash trees in thefall to prevent the emerald ashborer from affecting other trees.

Terrace Park council recentlytook pre-emptive action againstthe emerald ash borer and plans toremove all village-owned ashtrees over a five-year period.

Councilman Jeff Krueger saidremoving the more than 300 ashtrees will take some financialplanning from village officials,with the estimated tree removalcost of $260,000.

“A lot of older trees are affect-ed by this, so we won’t have ahuge spread really quick,” he said.

Krueger said village arboristRandy Haller recently found evi-dence of the emerald ash borernear Rugby Avenue and TerracePlace.

Affected trees scheduled to beremoved will be marked withwhite squares.

“(The emerald ash borer) effec-tively girdles the bark and cuts offthe tree’s water and nutrient sup-ply,” Haller said previously.

“They start at the top and worktheir way down and stay with thetree until it’s dead.”

Both villages are looking atnative species, such as elm trees,to replace ash trees.

“The bad part is you havethese 20-, 30-, or 40-year-oldtrees and now you’re going downto a smaller canopy,” Scherpen-berg said.

He added that the city ofCincinnati has expressed interestin using the limbs of the ash treesfor gym floors in the school dis-trict.

The emerald ash borer is nativeto eastern Asia and was uninten-tionally brought to Michigan,according to the Ohio Departmentof Natural Resources’ Web site.

It naturally moves one-halfmile each year and spread fromthe transportation of infectedwood.

The beetle was first found feed-ing on ash trees in northwest Ohioin February 2003.

Tom Starr, one of thelongest living transplantrecipients, is working toencourage kids who’vereceived transplants to livelife to the fullest.

Starr, who has receivedtwo transplants in the last20 years, founded Miraclesfor Life in 2001 and recentlymoved the business fromBlue Ash to Milford.

“We loved Blue Ash, butwe’ve really been embracedby all of Clermont County ...It’s just easier to interact outhere,” Starr said.

“We’ve found everyoneextremely friendly, very giv-ing and anxious to help us.”

Miracles for Life is anorganization devoted to raisingawareness about being a blood,tissue and organ donor andsending children who’vereceived transplants to summercamp. Miracles for Life alsogives out college scholarships.

“The first mission wasdonor awareness ... We wantpeople to know it should be anobvious thing, it’s the gift oflife. It’s like I say, ‘If you don’tneed it, donate it,’” Starr said.

This is the first year theorganization has sponsoreda summer camp, but it’s agoal Starr has wanted sincethe beginning.

The three-day camp,which will be free forcampers, will take place Fri-day, Sept. 11, through Sun-day, Sept. 13, at Camp JoyOutdoor Educational Centerin Clarksville, Ohio. The feeis $25 for registration.

“I want to inspire kids tobe as great as they can be bydoing all the outdoor activi-ties that Camp Joy has tooffer. I want to urge them tosee that they’ve got a secondchance and they need tograb all the life they possiblycan,” Starr said.

The camp will be capped-off with a parent’s day camp

following a motorcycle rideto Camp Joy.

The ride will start at 10a.m. at the Quaker Steak andLube in Milford and leave forthe camp around noon. Costis $10 for a driver and $5 fora rider. The proceeds to gotoward paying for the camp.

Parents who visit thecamp Sunday will join inactivities with other parentsfor support and networking.

Tom’s brother, Larry Starr,has always been one ofTom’s biggest supporters.When Starr had his firsttransplant in 1988, Larrywas the head athletic trainerfor the Cincinnati Reds.

“It’s traumatic for thefamily to have a familymember who needs a trans-plant ... it has made such animpact,” Larry said.

“Tom has really become abig hero for me because he’salways found the energy toget his message out and findways to educate people onthe importance of being adonor.”

Before he founded Mira-cles for Life, Starr createdDonor Net, a Internet basedsystem to store donor infor-mation so blood, tissue andorgans can be transferredmore quickly.

“We don’t want the possi-bility of people creating mir-acles and saving live not tohappen because of miscom-munication,” Larry said.

While Starr has most ofthe funds and sponsors forthe camp, he needs campersand volunteers. Because ofprivacy laws, Starr can’t findout which children have hadtransplants and who mightlike to come to camp.

Anyone interested in thecamp should call Starr at248-4665, e-mail him [email protected] orvisit www.miraclesforlife.orgfor more information.

Ohio Sen. Robert Schuler(R-7th District), a SycamoreTownship resident in stateand local government formore than 25 years, diedJune 19 at his home after abattle with cancer. He was66.

Known as a quiet buteffective legislator by col-leagues, Schuler was serv-ing his second term in theOhio Senate.

Schuler, chairman of theSenate Energy & PublicUtilities Committee in thelast General Assembly, wasa key architect of Ohio’snew energy policy signedinto law last year by Gov.Ted Strickland.

“It is difficult to findwords to express the

tremendoussense of lossI feel person-ally and forthe entireSenate. Bobwas a dearfriend, a truepublic ser-

vant and a very good man,”said Senate President BillHarris in a statement.

Before being elected tothe State Senate in 2003,Schuler served in the OhioHouse from 1993 to 2000.

He also served asSycamore Township trusteefrom 1988 to 1992 andDeer Park City Councilmember from 1978 to1985.

“He did a lot for thetown. He came up with theslogan: ‘There’s more in

Sycamore.’ He was a greatguy and will be missed,”said Dick Kent, SycamoreTownship trustee and closefriend for 40 years.

“Bob’s pasta partiesbecame a spring traditionamong the party faithfuland, true to his conser-vatism, Bob never asked formore than about $25 at thisannual fundraising event,”said Alex Triantafilou,Hamilton County Republi-can chairman.

Former CongressmanRob Portman called Schuler“the nicest guy in politics.”

The Ohio Senate GOPCaucus will choose a

replacement to finish hiscurrent term ending nextyear.

Ineligible to run for re-election because of termlimits, state Rep. ShannonJones (R-Springboro), andformer state representativesMichele Schneider and TomBrinkman are expected tocompete for his 7th Districtseat that includes easternHamilton County and all ofWarren County.

Schuler is survived byhis wife, Shelagh, two chil-dren and five grandchildren.

Schuler was buried June23 at Gate of Heaven Ceme-tery.

Columbia Township offi-cials have been hearingcomplaints about the inter-section of Ridge and High-land and they recently decid-ed to do something about it.

The result is a collabora-tion with the HamiltonCounty Sheriff’s Departmentto dedicate specific times toclosely monitor the intersec-tion for drivers runningthrough red lights.

Lt. Dan Reid noted dur-ing last week’s ColumbiaTownship trustees meetingthat in a recent 24-hourspan officers issued 29 cita-

tions, with 28 for runningred lights.

“I was actually surprisedat the amount of tickets,”Reid said.

Township AdministratorMichael Lemon said com-plaints about the intersec-tion have been constant,and the Ridge and Highlandarea has had a high numberof accidents in recent years.

He said the townshipand sheriff’s patrols hope tocombat this “pervasiveproblem” by sporadicallyfocusing on the intersectiona couple times a month.

Reid said patrols weren’thiding, but instead were inplain sight when they

would often see severalvehicles running a singlered light.

He said he was only ableto catch one at a time, butthe numbers were still stag-gering.

During the Civil War,Camp Dennison was a train-ing camp and hospital forUnion soldiers. The campwas just a short train ridefrom the city and was notfar from both the Ohio andLittle Miami Rivers.

After the war, CampDennison was closed, butcurrent resident Judy Havillsaid that materials used forthe camp buildings wereused by people in the areato build their homes, someof which still stand today.More people came to thearea because of the amplefarmland to build homes.

Havill’s home was builtright after the war in 1865when the area’s namechanged to Grand Valley.Havill said the name neverstuck because the railroadcompany continued to useCamp Dennison as thename of the stop.

The 150th anniversaryof the start of the Civil Warwill be recognized in 2011but Ohio Gov. Ted Stricklandissued an executivestatewide directive to com-memorate the anniversary.Havill, who is a member of

the Camp Dennison CivicLeague, said most likely theDaughters of the AmericanRevolution, who run theWaldschmidt House, wouldhost some kind of event,which could include battlere-enactments or parades orgive tours of the house orthe adjacent Civil WarMuseum.

Gary Hicks, a collector,has contributed many but-tons, belt buckles, bulletsand other items from theCivil War era found in the

area to the museum for theircollection.

Hicks still has manyitems from his own collec-tion from different sitesacross the country. TheAnderson Township resi-dent is a retired rehabilita-tion counselor who hasturned his love for archeolo-gy into a fun hobby, collect-ing various historical items,many from the Camp Den-nison area.

“It’s an adventure,” saidHicks.

He said the most inter-esting item he has found isRyder P.T. RemingtonModel 1859 pistol right inthe Camp Dennison area.Only 1,000 of that modelpistol were made.

Havill and fellow resi-dents Louise Elston, FrankTingley and Carol Sims allagreed that Camp Dennisonwith all of its history and asit is today is a great place tolive.

“You feel a sense of his-tory but it’s still a communi-

ty,” said Havill. “It’s not likeliving in a museum.”

Havill has lived in CampDennison for more than 30years. Both Tingley and

Elston have been residentsfor more than 50 years.

“Once you live here, yousettle, you don’t want toleave,” said Elston.

In other newsHere’s a look at other points of

discussion during the June 8Columbia Township Trusteesmeeting:

• Township AdministratorMichael Lemon said the townshipis going out to bid on wastecollection services, with hopes ofopening the bids by the end of themonth. The township needs thebids to determine the amount ofmillage to put on the waste levyin November.

• Trustee President StephenLangenkamp asked Lemon to setup a work session to discuss thetownship’s options on how to payfor the increased contract with theDeer Park-Silverton Joint FireDistrict.

The district is doubling what thetownship paid in its last three-yearcontract, but is allowing Columbiato gradually pay the increase overthe length of the contract. Thedifference in next year’s contract isabout $8,000 more.

• The Wal-Mart on RidgeRoad in the township is closing itsdoors in September. Lemon saidthe reason the store is closing isbecause of its inability to expandinto a “superstore,” as well as anewly opened Wal-Mart within afew miles of the existing store.

Madeira usually cele-brates Fourth of July on July3, but this year’s event willtake place July 2.

Tom Moeller, city man-ager, said conducts theevent the day beforebecause the event is puttogether by many cityemployees.

By not holding it on theactual holiday, the employ-ees get to have their ownholiday and it saves the citymoney.

Moeller added that it iseasier to get more partici-pants in the parade beforeJuly 4.

This year’s event is July2 because the Saturday hol-iday will be observed by thecity July 3, Moeller said.

The event will includethe Madeira Mile, parade,food and entertainment atthe park and fireworks.

Moeller said the cityhosts the event to celebrateIndependence Day.

“It’s a communityevent,” Moeller said.

“It’s an opportunity foreverybody to get togetherand basically have a very,very large neighborhoodparty.”

He added that peoplewho have moved away

often come back and itbecomes a reunion.

Moeller estimated thatbetween 3,000 and 5,000people attend the event.

Moeller said this isMadeira’s biggest holidaycelebration, partly becauseit is in the middle of sum-mer.

“It’s an important holi-day, too,” Moeller said.

“I think it deserves tohave the biggest celebra-tion.”

Mike Steur, chairman ofthe recreation and parksboard, has been involved inthe event for about 15years.

He said they meet about

3 weeks after the prioryear’s event for a debrief-ing.

Then, it goes dormantuntil the beginning of theyear when they select thegrand marshal for theparade and line up theband.

Steur said before theparade starts, they have theMadeira Mile, which is a funrace.

It is about a mile longand for anyone who wantsto participate, running orwalking.

The parade generally hasabout 80 units, Moellersaid, which could add up to400 to 500 people.

Parade participants canride bikes, cars or walk.

“It’s pretty much open toall,” Moeller said.

Steur said the grand mar-shal for this year’s parade isthe family of Dean Winkel-man.

Winkelman was a mem-ber of the Madeira policedepartment who died inOctober.

“He was a brilliant main-stay in the parade from anorganizational standpoint,”Steur said.

Winkelman directed traf-fic in and out of the highschool to get the paradestarted.

“He did that for a long

time and did a great job at itso we’re honoring him thisyear,” Steur said.

Steur said his favoritepart of the parade is thegrand marshal.

“It’s a great way to beable to honor a person orfamily,” Steur said.

“It’s just neat to be able

to see that recognition.He added that it is neat

to see people lining thestreets and grabbing thecandy.

He also likes the fire-works.

Moeller said his favoritepart of the event is alwaysthe fireworks.

The recent occasion of Hall’s70th birthday hit a high note in atradition of special performancesserved up to an appreciative audi-ence of local music lovers.

Hall and his wife, Carroll, wel-comed about 30 guests as he andfriends took turns on the key-board of his Bosendorfer conser-vatory grand piano providingbackground for a congenial audi-ence who anticipated somethingspecial as the featured musiciansarrived.

On a musical evening with aprogram described as, “over thetop,” legendary Cincinnati jazzpianist Frank Vincent wowed thecrowd along with gifted bassistMichael Sharfe and multitalentedsaxophonist Rick Van Matre,director of jazz studies at Universi-ty of Cincinnati’s Conservatory ofMusic.

Intricate arrangements andspontaneous improvisation high-lighted the music with a collectionof swinging jazz standards, bal-lads and be-bop tunes, amongother favorites.

Interspersed with “banter andchat” by artists and host, theevening was a high note for Hallwho said the performance, “mademy birthday.”

Known for its perfect keyboardtonal quality and clear sound, Hallsaid the Bosendorfer is consideredthe Rolls Royce of pianos.

It was a birthday present hegifted to himself 20 years ago andsaid to be the choice of many ofthe world’s top musicians, includ-ing Leonard Bernstein, MarvinHamlisch, and Oscar Peterson.

Hall sees his interest in produc-ing jazz CDs as an outgrowth ofthe Bosendorfer, a special instru-ment now the focal point of hisliving room and the impetus forhis now legendary “piano par-ties.”

Considered a perfectionist instyle and technique with a greatsense of swing, Frank Vincentmakes the most of the concertpiano’s unique sound interpretingthe lyric and melody, according toHall, who recorded his first CDwith Vincent and Sharfe nearly 10years ago.

Vincent has long been a fea-tured performer in the Cincinnatijazz community entertaining audi-ences for nearly 50 years.

Classically trained, Vincent alsostudied under the great pianistOscar Peterson.

From his early days with thelocal Dee Felice trio to his currentgig at the Celestial with his owngroup, Vincent has notched kudosfrom the best in the business.

Woodwindsmaster VanMatre demon-strated his virtu-osity on the sax-ophone, clarinet,flute and piccolo.He performedsolo and also“made magic”accompanyingVincent and Sharfe, who is oftenfeatured with the Cincinnati Popsand has worked with variousmusical artists, including the lateRosemary Clooney.

The evening lineup includedrenditions of favorites including:“All the Things You Are,” “I Can’tGet Started with You,” “Stompin’at the Savoy,” “Just in Time,”“Don’t be That Way,” “That’s All,”“Never Let Me Go,” “Darn thatDream,” “One O’Clock Jump,”“How are Things in GloccaMorra,” “Dreamsville,” “The Songis You,” “Put on a Happy Face,”“Days of Wine and Roses,” aswinging “Europa” by Carlos San-tana, along with some other cur-rent and vintage jazz.

Growing up in a family thatappreciated music, most notablyclassical, Hall said he developed ataste for jazz over the years takingin many New York jazz clubs onbusiness trips when he had theopportunity.

“I found most jazz musiciansare introverted. Music is their per-sonality,” he said.

“There was always the chance

of hearing something great.”The retired CFO for Eagle-Pilch-

er Industries said he got more seri-ous about his interest in playingthe piano when he bought theBosendorfer.

“I wanted to hear it played as itcould and should be by the music

masters,” hesaid.

He networkedto scope out thelocal Cincinnatijazz scene beforelaunching theCD projects, nownumbering 11 inall.

The CDs wereco-produced by Hall and veterancity band manager andmusician/technician Stan Hertz-man. Some took several sessions.

For example, “Here and Now”was recorded at 8200 Brill in fourseparate live performancesbetween December 2002 and June2004.

Generally acknowledged as anexpert in sound, Hertzman used adigital audio work station,explaining that computer equip-ment recorded the audio on to adisc right in Hall’s living roomthrough microphones placed asclose to the true sound as possi-ble.

The collaboration is moreabout promoting the music andthe local artists than about mak-ing money on the CDs, said Hall,who basically underwrites therecording projects to cover themusicians’ cost, royalties andother fees associated with record-ing.

The CDs are on sale at Barnesand Noble, Joseph Beth Book-sellers, local specialty stores andjazz clubs.

According to Hall, the faces in theaudiences often change from partyto party, but the common thread is aserious appreciation of jazz.

Local pharmacist Wayne Morrishas been a regular at the piano par-ties for nine years and sells themany CDs at the counter at AdrienPharmacy in downtown Madeira.

“I love all the recordings,” hesaid, calling Hall’s birthday concert,“a very special evening ... as good asit gets.”

He said, “I look at it as a privilege,an honor to be asked to come. WhenI think about David Hall I appreciatewhat a wonderful host he is bringingin world-class music to an outstand-ing setting.

“For jazz lovers who savor everynote. It’s always a magical evening.”

Some of Hall’s fellow piano play-ers were on hand to celebrate Hall’s70th, including Ted Lawrence andOtto Geier, who often get togetherwith Hall to play informally at theCincinnati Country Club on week-ends.

Another frequent invitee is for-

mer astronaut and music lover NeilArmstrong, who attended manypast performances including the“Here and Now” sessions callingVincent, “a magnificent jazz pianist... I always love listening to himplay. He has a marvelous innovativeability.”

Jimmy Stewart, a long-timefriend of David Hall and a fellowamateur on the piano, came fromMaryland to celebrate the birthdaycalling the performance, “over thetop.”

Hall plans to continue the pianosessions several times a year with awide range of guest performers,inviting a modest size group of 15 or20 people of various backgroundswho appreciate good jazz.

The musicians respond to theiraudience, he said.

Soon he plans to bring in someNew York jazz artists for recordingsessions and will invite a localpianist and singer sometime laterthis year.

“I do it for the musicians too. Itgives them a place to play in front ofan audience that’s really here to hearthem play.”

Jazz originally was first per-formed in homes then migrated toclubs, Hall said.

“It is the most unique form ofconversation between musician andlistener.”

Hall said he is excited about theyounger jazz artists coming out ofschools like UC Conservatory ofMusic, putting Cincinnati on the mapand considered at the top in terms ofpumping out new young talent.

He said he still hopes to do a DVDproject one day and plans to record aCD session of his own music onpiano one day, when he feels he’sready.

“I’ve got the name, ‘My Turn.’”Until that time, he looks forward

to showcasing more talented musi-cians at the best jazz venue around –8200 Brill.

Indian Hill High School graduateBo Cordell has one more honor to addto his high school career.

Cordell was one of six finalists forthe LaRosa’s High School MVP of theYear award, won by Orlando Scales ofElder High School June 28.

“He’s the kind of kid that makesyou proud to be associated with him,”former Indian Hill head football coachKevin Siple said. “He’s such a good kidand guys like him don’t come alongvery often. He’s the total package.”

Cordell was the quarterback of Indi-an Hill’s high-octane offense for thepast three years. He threw for anastounding 8,271 career yards and 84career touchdowns, both of whichrank him fourth in Ohio prep history.Cordell owns six school records to goalong with a plethora of other awards.

The LaRosa’s nod is one of the lasthigh school honors for Cordell, whowill play college football next year atDivision II Tusculum college. Theother final honor was playing inSouthwest Ohio Football CoachesAssociation East-West All-Star GameJune 5.

“Some people had questions aboutwhether a Division III quarterbackcould compete at that level and theydoubted him,” Siple said. “Eventually,they noticed the same thing. He’s likea coach out there on the field, pointingand directing and moving people. Hispoise and leadership are his mostimportant attributes.”

Cordell threw for 295 yards andfour touchdowns for the East team ina 42-35 win.

“It was a lot of fun, I did better thanI thought I would and I made a fewfriends,” Cordell said. “It’s a good wayto get used to the speed of the collegegame as the speed in that game wascrazy.”

Cordell won’t have much time toget used to the speed of the collegegame. Despite being one of five quar-terbacks in Tusculum’s recruitingclass, Cordell is the only one who willbe challenging for the starting posi-tion. The others are expected to moveto different positions.

Fortunately for Cordell, Tusculumruns a very similar offense to IndianHill.

“It’s extremely similar,” Cordellsaid. “They use different terminologyso I’ve had to learn that but I can’t

wait. I love competition and I’m look-ing forward to the college experience.”

Before he heads to Tusculum forsummer workouts, Cordell has beenworking with the CHCA quarterbacks.Siple is the new offensive coordinatorfor CHCA and CHCA’s head coach, EricTaylor, coached Cordell in the East-West game.

“I try to help their quarterbacks andgive them a few pointers,” he said.“It’s really eye-opening seeing thingsthrough the eyes of coach Taylor andcoach Siple. You see the game differ-ently as a coach and hopefully thisexperience helps me transition to col-lege.”

Cordell said he may get into coach-ing when his football career is overand would love to coach with Siple.Cordell, who will be majoring in busi-ness, said his biggest goal is to get agood job out of college.

And as for the LaRosa’s recogni-tion, Cordell said he was simply hon-ored to be a finalist.

“Some awards hit me by surprise, Ireally wasn’t expecting to be nominat-ed,” he said. “It’s really an honor for akid from a small school just to be nom-inated with all of these other greatathletes.”

The 10-time All-American (byevent) capped his high school careerby winning state titles in the 200 IMand in the 100 breaststroke.

Albers added another honor tohis resume when he was namedone of six finalists for the LaRosa’sHigh School MVP of the Yearaward. Orlando Scales of Elder HighSchool won the honor June 28.

“It’s definitely a big honor forme,” he said. “I’m impressed I’m ona list with some of those other guys.”

Albers holds three schoolrecords and was the 2009 GCLSwimmer of the Year. He will beswimming next year at Ohio StateUniversity.

“He is really focused and allbusiness in meets,” Moeller HighSchool head swimming coach JayFrentsos said. “He’s just a greatcompetitor. I liken it to wanting tohave the ball in his hands for thelast shot; he was just that way.”

Frentsos said he will alwaysremember the time Albers swamin two consecutive events in a bigmeet.

Albers said the state meet was

his favorite high school memory.“It was definitely exciting to

win and I’m going to miss thatmeet. That was a great time just tobe with the guys from the team,”he said.

Frentsos said Albers was agreat teammate and leader for the

It’s summer and a great time toenjoy the warm weather. And ifyou’re looking to add somethingnew to your regular physicalactivity routine, Tai Chi might bewhat you’re are looking for.

Tai Chi (pronounced tie-CHEE)is a low-impact activity that canhelp older adults improve balanceand prevent falls.

Tai chi is an ancient form ofChinese martial arts that is some-times described as “meditation inmotion.”

Tai chi consists of low-risk,rhythmic movements that requireuse of the major joints in the body.

The Yang style of Tai chi incor-porates the slowest movementsand is easily adapted for seniorparticipants.

Tai chi can improve flexibility,strength, muscle tone, balanceand coordination.

Many studies have also linkedTai chi with an improved range of

motion, balance,confidence and adecreased risk offalls in senioradults.

Other benefitsinclude increasedmental health,stress reductionand reduced anxi-ety and depres-sion.

S t r u c t u r e dphysical activityof any kind hasan added benefit

of meeting new people and pro-vides an opportunity to socializewith peers and keep motivationlevels high.

Whether you are trying a newtype of physical activity or contin-uing with an activity you enjoy, itis important to keep these tips inmind:

• Start with small amounts of

physical activity and graduallyincrease the time and intensity ofthe activity. If you are dedicated tobeing active and feeling better,you will see progress quickly.

• Listen to your body andknow your limits. People adjust toexercise differently; you can avoida possible injury by not overwork-ing your body.

• Remember that it takes timeto build and regain strength. Bythe time a person reaches 80years of age, they can lose up tohalf of the muscle strength theyhad when they are younger. Thegood news is that strength, flexi-bility and balance can be restoredat any age.

• It’s OK to change or stop anexercise. There are countless typesof physical activity a person canparticipate in. If you don’t findsomething you like right away, trysomething different.

• Exercise should not be

painful. If you experience pain,immediately stop what you aredoing and consult your physician.

Keep in mind that falls cannotbe prevented by exercise alone.

Talking to your physicianabout the medications you aretaking, having your visionchecked annually, makingchanges in your home or having afall risk assessment performed bya physical therapist are great ways

to help prevent falls.Fore more information or to

find a Tai chi class in your neigh-borhood, call 946-7807 or visitwww.fallpreventiontaskforce.org.

Balance in Blue Ash. He is also amember of the Hamilton County Fall

Prevention Task Force.

At this very moment, legisla-tors in Columbus are making diffi-cult choices about what programswill receive the limited dollarsavailable in the state budget.

If there ever were a time whenwe have needed wise leadership,it is now.

We must encourage legislatorsto support programs that areproven to work and save publictax dollars, and we must call uponsocial services to deliver programsthat are accountable.

One of those programs is HelpMe Grow and Every Child Suc-ceeds is one of many organiza-tions that helps to implement thisprogram in southwest Ohio.

Help Me Grow is a home visita-tion program that provides sup-port for at risk, first-time mothers.

Home visitation programs likeEvery Child Succeeds deliverquantifiable outcomes for moth-ers, babies, andcommunities tohelp childrendevelop prena-tally through thefirst years of life.

This earlyinvestment helpsavoid the needfor costly servic-es for these chil-dren in thefuture, helpsmothers find and keep their jobs,and helps them get the child-carethey need so they don’t lose theirjobs.

Unfortunately, funding for HelpMe Grow is under attack inColumbus and that puts childrenand families in Ohio at risk.

During the last 10 years, EveryChild Succeeds has made nearly300,000 visits and helped morethan 15,500 families in south-western Ohio and northern Ken-tucky.

ECS data prove this programworks and saves lives. In south-west Ohio, babies born to ECSmothers have a decreased infantmortality rate.

• ECS – 4.7 deaths per 1000live births.

• Cincinnati – 17.0 deaths per1000 live births

• Ohio – 7.9 deaths per 1000live births

Additional positive outcomesinclude:

• 91 percent children develop

age-expected lan-guage skills

• 94 percentchildren have aregular pediatri-cian

• 65 percentmothers are inschool oremployed

• 92 percent ofchildren have asafe home envi-ronment

• Decreasedsubstance abuse,

dependence on public assistance,juvenile delinquency, child abuse

• Improved school readiness,birth outcomes and child develop-ment.

ECS serves the highest riskOhioans. They are fragilely con-nected to the workforce. They arelow-income. Many are either vic-

tims of violenceor have wit-nessed violence.One-half arec l i n i c a l l ydepressed.

If we don’thave early inter-vention pro-grams like HMG,there will benegative shortand long-term

repercussions.Infant mortality will increase,

children will not be ready forschool and dependence on moreexpensive intervention servicesand programs (like public assis-tance) will increase in the shortterm and be compounded over thelong term.

Through our rigorous dataanalysis, this is what we knowwill occur.

I have enough faith in ourcountry to believe that recoverywill begin soon, and it will happenbecause elected officials in Colum-bus will make the right decisionson behalf of Ohio citizens.

Investing in early childhooddevelopment is the most efficienteconomic development strategyavailable. An improved system forOhio’s children – a system that isevidence-based, effective and tar-geted to those most at risk is criti-cal to moving our state forward.

Judy Van Ginkel is president of EveryChild Succeeds.

What do you think of DukeEnergy’s plans to build anuclear power plant in Pike-ton? What concerns do youhave, if any?

“I think this is great. Nuclearpower is a great, safe way to getenergy independent. And thoughI am not concerned about globalwarming, I know that many peo-ple are. Environmentalists needto get behind this plan as well.

“My question is, why does ittake so long to bring this planton-line? What happened to ourAmerican spirit of ingenuity?Surely, we can do this safely andalso do it faster than they aretalking.”

T.H.

“I think we must try to devel-op new sources of energy deliv-ery to make sure we have alter-natives to natural gas, coal, oil,etc., and I believe nuclear energyis one of the most promisingalternatives.

“I grew up in Portsmouth, andPiketon was the site (in the1950’s) of the Goodyear AtomicPlant where uranium-235 wasproduced at the beginning of the

nuclear age.“As far as I know, there were

no adverse repercussions to thisearly nuclear development.”

Bill B.

“I would whole heartily sup-port the concept. History hasshown this type of power widelyused in France is safe, reason-able, dependable source of ener-gy.

My only question would be,wonder if they considered chang-ing the Moscow plant originallybuilt as a nuclear power plant, tonuclear?

This makes sense when youknow power needs are 24/7 andwind and solar are not.”

FJB

“Nuclear energy has alwaysbeen a great source for cleanenergy, but my concern is thesafe disposal of nuclear waste. Asite must be agreed on prior tothe building of the plant and howsafe is it. Also it must be cheaperthan coal energy or it’s not worthit.”

N.P.

“This plant is well overdue.Gas and electric can be just asdeadly. Anything is only just assafe as the personoperating/managing it.”

M.E.N.

“I support the utilization ofnuclear energy – provided theplant is built safely, on time, andwithout cost overruns that arepassed onto the consumer. Wedon’t want another Zimmer.”

D.

“What a great thing, just thinkif all the naysayers had not

protested about the plant builtyears ago at Moscow we wouldhave been enjoying cheaper elec-tric and the other benefits allthese years. Just wait, those samenaysayers will be back in forceagain.

“I have a friend that hasworked in nuclear electric plantsfor years and as he says there isno safer place to be.”

L.S.

“I think it’s a great idea andthat it should reflect favorably onour rates.

Security of a nuclear facility isalways a concern but I think thathas to be balanced against thecleanliness of the power.”

B.N.

“I say it is about time the U.S.built another nuclear reactor togenerate energy for America.France generates about 80 per-cent of their energy from nuclearreactors. Duke will be workingwith a French company to buildthe Piketon reactor. Power gener-ated by nuclear reactors is envi-ronmentally friendly. The nuclearfuel used in reactors does occurnaturally and there are no GHGemissions from the reactor.

Since Duke will be workingwith an experienced nuclearpower company to build theplant, I have no concerns. Tothose who are afraid of nuclearpower, I say they have watchedtoo many Hollywood moviesabout nuclear accidents. Forthose who are concerned aboutnuclear energy, go tohttp://www.world-nuclear.org/for answers on nuclear powerquestions.”

M.S.

“I absolutely love the idea ofthe nuclear plant. Nuclear energyis the most cost effective, efficientand safe energy we could gowith. Brilliant idea!”

J.R.

“I think it is a great idea, it willcreate jobs and tax revenue fromthe very beginning of construc-tion. The more resources we havefor clean, carbon-free energy, thebetter. It was the site of the for-mer U.S. nuclear weapons facili-ty, so the area is alreadyequipped and capable on thehandling of uranium.”

ME & MY PET

One day my parents tookme and my brother to ananimal shelter to look for adog.

While we looked at thedogs, I saw the cats. I want-ed to see the little kittens, sowe went to the cats.

While we looked at thecats, there was a little catstuck in a small cage withno room to move around.

We asked a staff memberif we could see him runaround with the other cats.When she let the little catout, he ran headfirst into awall.

The staff member told usthat the cat was very sickand was going to be putdown soon. We adoptedhim and took him homethat day.

That was in 2001. Nowthat little cat is the fat,happy and very healthy catthat we call Bonkers.

Bonkers is loved by

THINGS TO DO

More than 900 people recentlyattended the BRIDGES for a Just Com-munity 59th Annual Awards Dinner insupport of the organization’s commit-ment to creating an inclusive and justcommunity.

Serving as BRIDGES’s major annu-al fundraiser, the event chaired byKevin T. Kabat of Indian Hill, chair-man, president and CEO of Fifth ThirdBancorp, raised $402,440, which wasa 20 percent increase over last year’sdinner.

BRIDGES has been the region’sleading human relations organizationsince 1944.

“This was by far one of our mostsuccessful annual dinners yet,” saidDr. Mitchel D. Livingston, chairman of

the BRIDGES for a Just CommunityBoard.

“Kevin Kabat went above andbeyond to create a real team effort tohelp BRIDGES raise funds during moredifficult economic times.”

Honorees, Lynwood L. Battle Jr. ofdowntown; Karen M. Hoguet ofMount Lookout and Alvin Z. “Bunny”Meisel of Amberley Village; David B.O’Maley of Indian Hill; and James E.Schwab of downtown were recognizedfor making significant contributions tothe improvement of human relationsin the Greater Cincinnati community.

Harris K. Weston and Alice F. West-on of East Walnut Hills received spe-cial recognition for six decades of con-tinuous service to the organization.

The Harris K. Weston Youth Fundwas announced at the dinner to pro-vide scholarships and funding forBRIDGES youth leadership program-ming.

The inaugural Oscar ArmstrongAward was presented to Khalilah andPickett Slater-Harrington, both alum-nus of the Public Allies Cincinnati pro-gram and residents of North Avondale– the award was created to honor thememory and values of the former Pub-lic Ally who was tragically killed in theline of duty as a Cincinnati firefighterin 2003.

Khalilah is project manager ofSTRIVE; Pickett is with the XavierUniversity Community Building Insti-tute.

The large number offoreclosures in the Tristate ishaving a dramatic effect onthe value of homes in someareas.

As a result, some peopleare finding it impossible tosell their house for anythingclose to what they imag-ined.

Amanda Frank said shecan’t sell her West Chesterhouse for the $107,000 shewanted because the buyer’sappraisal of her home camein much lower.

“The couple that wasgoing to borrow it had anFHA loan. They came back

and did anappraisaland itcame backappraiseda t$80,000,”she said.

“ T h a tis $8,000less thanour cur-

rent mortgage and $3,000than our 2008 Butler Coun-ty tax appraisal.”

The appraiser said hegave such a low valuebased on recent home salesin the area.

“They said the compara-tive sales within the neigh-borhood do admit there’s adownward trend in the pric-ing,” Frank said.

Two doors away fromFrank’s home a house islisted for about $105,000.

But, just a few homesaway another house,roughly the same size, islisted for just $70,000, asthat homeowner tries to doa short sale – selling for lessthan the amount owed onthe mortgage.

Yet another house, justthree doors away fromFrank’s home, is getting a

new roof from new owners.That house had been sorelyneglected and the repairswill help increase the valueof the home – but more isneeded in that neighbor-hood to get home values torecover.

“Who wants to hear thatwithout a predatory lender,without an adjustable ratemortgage, without buyingon the bubble, here you areupside down on your cur-rent mortgage,” Frank said.

“I knew it was bad. Wehave a lot of family who areout of work. We have hadsome friends who are in

foreclosure situations andit’s unfortunate – but in ourneighborhood I had noidea,” she said.

The Franks have putnearly $100,000 into theirhouse, which is now valuedat just $80,000.

They’re not alone.Friends nearby have abuyer for their home, will-ing to pay $126,000, butthey too are finding compa-rable sales are less than$100,000.

So, you may want tothink twice about makingimprovements to yourhome.

And, before you put yourhouse on the market, care-fully check out the latestcomparable sales in yourarea to make sure you tooaren’t surprised by anappraisal you may receive.

That assertion is incor-rect. Freedom does notmean the ability to do any-thing we want.

Freedom means the ability tochoose to do what we ought.Doing anything we want or feellike doing is not freedom, butlicense.

American Baptist minister andHarvard chaplain Peter Gomesexplains, “Freedom’s only virtueis that it enables us to pursue thatwhich God desires for us andwhich we, in our heart of hearts,

desires for ourselves.”To understand and

enjoy freedom requiresreflective choices aboutourselves and the pur-pose of life.

Our founderspenned the Declarationof Independence. In acertain sense, it isactually a Declarationof Dependence onsomeone.

For the Constitution of theUnited States makes its citizensindependent of kings, dictators,parliaments, and even majoritiesas regards to our basic rights andliberties.

But on what factor does theConstitution base our independ-ence from kings and dictators?

It grounds it on a previousdependence on the One who gave

us our rights and dignity in thefirst place.

It says it is because …” the Cre-ator has endowed man with cer-tain inalienable rights amongwhich are the right to life, libertyand the pursuit of happiness.”

If our freedom came from a kingor government, then that king orgovernment could take it away.

It is only because our freedomcomes from God that it is called“inalienable,” i.e. cannot be takenaway.

In scripture, St. Paul showedhow God is interested in a realrevolution, a revolution againstinjustice, mistreatment, violenceagainst others and hatred.

In other words, it is a revolu-tion against license that permitsthe dark side of human nature toooze forth against others.

Explaining, Paul writes, “For

you were called to freedom, broth-ers and sisters, but do not useyour freedom as an opportunityfor self-indulgence, rather to serveone another through love.”

He enumerates some of theways we freely choose to serveone another … through love, joy,peace, patience, kindness, faith-fulness, gentleness, self-control.

Freedom means to gain such acontrol over the dark part of ourhuman nature that instead ofchoosing destructive actions, wechoose goodness and all that isconductive to the growth and hap-piness of human nature.

Freedom is far more difficultand demanding than license.

In his book, “Man’s Search ForMeaning,” Viktor Frankl tells ofhis own experience in a Nazi con-centration camp.

He reflects on the irony that he

never felt so free as he did duringthat horrible experience.

Even though all other obviousfreedoms and choices had beentaken away from him, no matterhow terrible the external condi-tions might be, he still had thefreedom of his own thoughts andattitudes.

He could choose to see and actwith the eyes of a free spirit.

“None can love freedom hearti-ly but good men: the rest love notfreedom, but license,” declaredJohn Milton.

W e l l ,b e t w e e nthe birdsand thedeer, thewildlife inmy littleworld isfed well.

T h ebirds areeating myelderber-ries before they’re even ripe.

The deer chomped downmy sunflowers and I’mpraying they don’t have ahankering for my heirloomsquash like they did lastyear.

In spite ofthis, though, Ir e m e m b e rwhat myMom alwayssaid: plantenough foryourself andGod’s good creatures, aswell.

(I’m beginning to think,however, that the deer andbirds are awfully greedy – Idon’t mind sharing, but wehave to eat, too!)

Cherry turnoversI like to use sour pie

cherries from my tree. Youcan use fresh, canned ifthey’re drained and frozenpie cherries for this.

You’ll need 12 ounces orso. Don’t thaw the frozencherries.

3 tablespoons flour, plusmore for dusting

1 box puff pastry,thawed

12 oz. or so frozen, freshor canned, drained cherries(leave frozen cherriesundrained)

1⁄2 cup sugar or more totaste

Squeezeor two oflemon juice

1 eggyolk beatenwith atablespoonof water

(egg wash)Sugar for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Roll dough (leavefolded but check to see ifthere’s paper between thefolds and remove) onfloured surface into a rec-

tangle about 10-by-14.Trim edges. Cut each into

quarters to make 8 smallerrectangles. Mix cherries,flour, sugar and lemon juice.

Place a nice mound onone side of each rectangle,leaving one-half inch bor-der.

Lightly brush borderwith water and fold otherside of pastry over mixtureand press to seal. Crimpedges with floured fork.

Put on baking sheet andcut several slits on top ofeach. Brush with egg washand sprinkle with a bit ofsugar.

Bake until puffed andgolden, about 35 minutes.Serve warm or room tem-perature.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenEven easier: use slightly

drained canned cherry piefilling and add one-fourthteaspoon almond extract toit if you have it and a bit ofextra sugar stirred in. Thatwill be your filling withoutanything else added.

Rita’s blenderhollandaise sauce

For Freida, a Recorderreader.

Melt one-third cup butterand keep it hot. Meanwhile,in a blender, put 2 roomtemperature egg yolks and2 teaspoons lemon juice andblend.

With motor running onlow, slowly add hot butter ina thin, steady stream.

You’ll see the mixturethicken as you go. If neces-sary, add a bit of hot waterif it’s too thick. Add salt andpepper to taste.

Grilled pattypanor other squash

For Marsha, a Tri-Countyreader who wants to makethis with all the squashshe’s getting from her gar-den.

No real recipe, but here’show I do it: slice squash andbrush both sides with oliveoil. Grill over hot coals untilmarked, yet still crisp/ten-der.

Season with salt andpepper or your favorite herband/or Parmesan cheese.
