Cincinnati’s West Sideneighborhoods suffered thebiggest population losses inthe city over the pastdecade, shedding people sig-nificantly faster than neigh-borhoods on the East Side.

An Enquirer analysis ofU.S. Census data found theWest Side lost about 12 per-cent of its population whilethe East Side lost 9 percent.

The population losses are

only estimates because thegeographic areas measuredby the census data releasedlast month do not align pre-cisely with neighborhoodboundaries.

But the early numbersshow a trend that manyWest Side residents, particu-larly those closest to down-town, feared in the wake oftwo recessions and a fore-closure crisis that hit theirneighborhoods harder thanmost.

The analysis found popu-lation losses in all but oneWest Side neighborhood andcounted eight neighbor-hoods with drops of 15 per-cent or more.

North Fairmount took thebiggest hit with a 51 percentdrop, followed by LowerPrice Hill, with a 38 percentdecline. East Price Hill lostabout 15 percent and West-wood, the city’s largestneighborhood, fell by 5 per-cent.

“I’m not at all surprised.We’ve been watching it foryears,” said Pete Witte, alife-long resident of WestPrice Hill and former presi-dent of the neighborhood’scivic association. “When Igrew up, I thought I lived onthe best street, in the bestneighborhood, in the bestcity.

“To see that erode is abummer.”

The analysis also sug-gests a change - in somecases, a dramatic change - isunder way in the racialmakeup of several West Sideneighborhoods.

Westwood lost more than30 percent of its white pop-ulation in the past 10 yearswhile its African-Americanpopulation climbed almost44 percent. The neighbor-hood now has a slightAfrican-American majority.

The declines in West-wood and other neighbor-hoods helped reduce thewhite population in the cityto 49 percent, makingCincinnati a “minority-majority” city for the firsttime.

“You’ve got a tremen-dous transition going on inthe city,” said Gary Wright,president of Wright Futures,a Cincinnati demographicsconsulting firm.

Overall, both the blackand white populations fell inthe city, but the white popu-lation fell almost three timesas fast.

The African-Americanpopulation grew 13 percenton the West Side while thewhite population dropped30 percent. On the EastSide, the African-Americanpopulation fell about 17 per-cent while the white popula-tion dropped 3 percent.

The Hispanic population

is comparatively small –about 8,500 citywide – but itdoubled in the past decade.The growth was fastest onthe West Side, which addedabout 3,000 Hispanics.

Taken together, the popu-lation shifts resulted in a10.4 percent drop in thecity’s total population, from331,000 to 297,000.

The Enquirer’s analysisincludes about 6,000 morepeople in the city’s total pop-ulation because it relies oncensus tracts that sometimesextend beyond city limits.More precise neighborhooddata is expected later thissummer.

Foreclosures hit hardDemographers and some

longtime residents say thetrends found by the analysisare dramatic but not shock-ing given changes in the cityover the past 10 years.

The foreclosure crisis, inparticular, slammed theWest Side harder than theEast Side, mainly becausethe housing stock there ismore affordable, easier toconvert to rentals and,therefore, more attractive toinvestors.

When those investorscollapsed under the weightof loans they couldn’t pay,their properties fell into fore-closure and West Sideneighborhoods suffered.One street alone, McPhersonAvenue in East Price Hill,had 65 foreclosures out of110 properties.

“We were hit hard byforeclosures,” said KenSmith, executive director ofPrice Hill Will, a communitygroup that renovates andsells houses. “We’re still try-ing to recover from that.”

The East Side saw itsshare of foreclosures, too,and all but three neighbor-hoods there also lost popula-tion.

But East Side neighbor-hoods appear to have bene-fited from less real estatespeculation and more resi-dential development. Uni-versity Heights, Downtownand Over-the-Rhine all gotbig infusions of investmentdollars for condos, town-houses and apartments.

Downtown added about1,400 people and grew 31.5percent while UniversityHeights added about 900people and grew 11 percent.Neighborhoods farther east,such as Hyde Park, MountWashington and Clifton, lostsome population but nomore than 3 percent.

“It’s been a really goodexperience,” said MelanieWissel, who moved into aDowntown condo threeyears ago with her husband,Ben, from Pleasant Ridge.“It was risky, but we knewwe’d love it.”

She said they liked it so

much they still live Down-town even after she gavebirth to her son sevenmonths ago. She said theydon’t have a backyard toplay in, but they often walkas a family to the parks orFountain Square for events.“We’re going to stay,” shesaid.

It was a different story forMike Cavanaugh, whomoved from Westwood toGreen Township in 2008with his wife and three chil-dren. He now lives on aquiet cul-de-sac withinwalking distance of his kids’school.

“It was a hard decision,”said Cavanaugh, whosefamily had lived in West-wood for generations. “Itstill bothers me. I felt a loy-alty to the neighborhood.”

But he said concernsabout safety and a notice-able lack of young, middle-class families got him think-ing about moving out.

When friends ask himabout it now, he tells them,“I didn’t leave Westwood.The Westwood I know leftme.”

Census data suggests hehad plenty of company inthe past decade as thestrong ties many West Sideresidents have to theirneighborhoods began toweaken.

Witte said concerns aboutschools, crime and blightfrom vacant houses all playa part in motivating peopleto leave.

“Middle-class familieswant to go where they arecomfortable raising theirfamilies, and living in the citychallenges that,” Witte said.“It’s hard to keep up with theJoneses when you’re work-ing out of 100-year-oldhouses in Price Hill.”

The census data doesn’ttrack movement of peoplefrom community to commu-nity, so it’s unclear howmuch of the West Side’s losswas due to migration. Butsome say the growth ofwestern suburbs such asGreen Township, MiamiTownship and Harrison indi-cates that’s where the peopleare going.

“My guess is that groupmoved further west,” saidJohn Glascock, director ofthe University of Cincin-nati’s Real Estate Center.

The loss of that popula-tion is bad news for thewhole city, even for neigh-borhoods that gained popu-lation or saw only slightdeclines, said City CouncilMember Roxanne Qualls.She said she will begin aseries of council committeemeetings this month toaddress the issue.

“The decrease in propertyvalues, the loss in neighbor-hood stability, none of theseare good,” she said. “Andthey affect the entire city.”

Income drives changeGlascock said changes in

residents’ income are likelythe main reason for thedecline in the West Side’spopulation, as well as for theincrease in the African-American population in sev-eral of its largest neighbor-hoods.

He said longtime WestSide residents, who tend tobe white, are opting for thesuburbs because they see itas a step up and can nowafford to make the move. Hesaid the newcomers, whotend to be African-Ameri-can, are moving to the WestSide from lower-incomeneighborhoods for the samereasons.

As people get wealthier,they want better choices and“a better total experience,”Glascock said. “They wantbetter schools. They want topark nearby. They wantnicer homes.”

That was the motivationfor Denise Hickson, whoworks at Kroger Downtown,when she and her familymoved from Over-the-Rhineand bought a house in WestPrice Hill late last year.

She said other African-Americans are making thesame choice for the samereason: The houses are nice,affordable and close toDowntown.

Hickson said she waswary of Price Hill at firstbecause she’d heard thecomplaints about crime andfalling property values anddidn’t want to trade onechallenging neighborhoodfor another.

“If I had more money,would I have chosen anoth-er neighborhood? Possibly,”she said. “But I love whatwe were able to get here.”

Hickson and other WestSide residents say one oftheir biggest concerns abouttheir neighborhoods is theproliferation of rental prop-erties.

Some say that trend hasbeen fueled by an expansionof federally subsidized hous-ing. Housing choice vouch-ers, also known as Section8, allow poor people to shoparound for rentals and manyare choosing the West Side.

Of the more than 10,000vouchers in Cincinnati,about 60 percent are beingused on the West Side.

Some have complainedthat the influx of Section 8renters has driven downproperty values on the WestSide, which, in turn, hasdriven out longtime resi-dents. But others say Sec-tion 8 properties often havefewer crime and upkeepproblems than nonsubsi-dized properties becausethere is more oversight oflandlords and tenants.

“Yes, West Side neigh-borhoods have a higher rateof vouchers, but the com-plaints are overstated,” saidWitte, who also is a memberof the Cincinnati Metropoli-tan Housing Authority’sboard.

He said the loss ofowner-occupied homes andthe spread of rental proper-ties - not just Section 8 prop-erties - is the West Side’sbiggest problem.

He said keeping longtimehomeowners in the commu-nity is the West Side’s besthope, because many ofthose residents remainactive in their neighbor-hoods and have historic tiesto their churches, schoolsand homes.

“One thing West Sideneighborhoods have at theircore is there are people thatlove their community,” hesaid. “That is what I pin myhighest hopes on.”

For the second time,Green Township Republi-can Senator Bill Seitz hasbeen yanked off a senatecommittee – this timestripped of his chairman-ship.

Seitz riled Republicanleaders last month byopposing Senate Bill 5, leg-islation that limits collec-tive bargaining rights forpublic unions; he lost anearlier committee seatwhen GOP leaders fearedhis “no” vote would kill thebill.

On April 6, State SenatePresident – and Seitz’shousemate in Columbus –Tom Niehaus, R-New Rich-mond, kicked the lawmak-er off the chamber’s Gov-ernment Oversight andReform Committee, replac-ing him with Sen. KeithFaber (R-Celina.)

By that afternoon, thechamber’s website hadalready replaced Seitz’sname and photo on thecommittee list.

“ I t ’ su n a c c e p t -able and Id i s a g r e ewith thisdec i s ion ,”Seitz said.

Niehaus’spokesman

Jason Mauk said Seitz wasremoved because he con-sidered adopting a substi-tute version of a bill thatwould revise the state’spublic employee pensionfunds without first talkingto Faber, who is the spon-sor of that bill.

“(Niehaus) felt the needto send the message to allthe committee chairs thathe expects them to respectthe process and the institu-tion and that’s all this isabout.”

Seitz called it a house-keeping matter and that hewas simply updating lan-guage in the bill.

He said he checked withJohn Barron, legal counselto the Senate Majority Cau-cus and spoke to other

members on the committeeabout the issue.

“I call that ‘checkingwith upstairs,’” Seitz said.“So you can judge foryourself whether the rea-son given is the real reasonor not.”

Jason Mauk saidremoval – which will costSeitz $6,500 a year – hadnothing to do with SB 5.

“I will not speak to themotivation behind itbecause it was not mydecision,” Seitz said.

“But having beenremoved from one commit-tee weeks ago and nowbeing removed fromanother, it brings to mindres ipsa loquitur, which inLatin means ‘the thingspeaks for itself.’”

he pulled himself through.After graduating from

Oak Hills he earned hisbachelor’s degree in sociolo-gy from Miami University inOxford. He relocated toKnoxville, Tenn., to servewith AmeriCorps, and thentook a job with KnoxvilleHabitat for Humanity wherehe works as the organiza-tion’s volunteer coordinator.

Although he alwaysseemed happy on the out-side, on the inside he wasmiserable. He said he wassuffering from a painfularthritic disease that led to asleep disorder, anxiety andmental issues.

“I felt like I was cursedfor some reason,” he said.

He said he was pushedto the lowest point in hislife, but eventually he wasable to find his footing andturn his challenges into apositive rather than a nega-tive.

Maginn said he usedtherapy, meditation andyoga to help him overcomehis struggles, and he alsochose healthy lifestyleoptions and focused on sim-ply having a better outlookon life.

Writing was another wayfor him to heal, and he saidhe would sit down each

night to write. Before heknew it, in a few shortmonths, he had a book onhis hands.

“It’s definitely been aunique experience,” Maginnsaid. “This is somethingentirely new for me. It’sbeen surreal.

“You learn a lot aboutyourself when you write,especially when you writesuch a personal story,” hesaid.

He’s spent the past sevenmonths working to publishthe book and market it onhis own. “I’m trying tospread the word as much aspossible,” he said.

Maginn said even if thebook only helps one personovercome struggles it willhave been worth all theeffort and he’ll be happysomeone gained somethingfrom reading it.

He said this whole expe-rience has made him appre-ciate the importance of fam-ily and friends, and he plansto move back home to theWest Side as soon as hecan.

“Turning This ThingAround” is available atAmazon for $8.50. Theelectronic version for Kindleis also available throughAmazon for $5.

By Heidi [email protected]

A group of Delshire Ele-mentary School girls want-ed to share their love ofreading with the communi-ty.

What better way thaninvite folks over for dinner?

The book club for girlshosted an evening of pasta,provided by LaRosa’s, and avisit by children’s authorShelley Pearsall, thanks to agrant from the Oak HillsEducational Foundation.

The club has just startedreading Pearsall’s latestbook, “Trouble Don’t Last,”

about the UndergroundRailroad.

“They decided we need-ed to reach out to the com-munity and get our familiesmore involved in reading,”said Jibby Brown, Delshireteacher and adviser of thebook club.

“Kids just don’t read anymore with video games, TVand all the activities they doafter school.”

Several of the fourth-and fifth-graders in the clubadmitted they either weren’tthat good at reading or par-ticularly interested in curl-ing up with a good bookbefore joining the club.

“I’m not a good reader,but the club sounded likefun, so I joined,” said AnnaTurner, a fifth-grader.

“It’s really helped meimprove my reading andI’ve enjoyed the bookswe’ve read.”

The club meets afterschool on Thursdays to readand talk about their currentselection.

“Mrs. Brown is really agreat teacher and she’salways doing things tomake reading more fun,”said Katie Mellage, a fifth-

grader.About 100

families joinedthe club for din-ner and tookhome copies ofPearsall’s book.

“I’m alwayshappy to be partof encouragingparents and kidsto read togeth-er,” Pearsall said.

Pearsall is aformer teacher who livesin Akron and has writtenfour books, most ofwhich have been awardwinners.

“I think talking withan author and learningabout the writing processis so great,” said DelshirePrincipal Travis Hunt.

“Mrs. Brown does awonderful job encourag-ing our students and thefoundation grant madethis all possible.”

•Members of Seton’s advanced

placement biology class visited theCollege of Mount St. Joseph for aunique view of DNA.

Seton students went beyond thetraditional high school textbooks andlab exercises to learn how restriction

enzymes – which cut DNA in specificlocations – help researchers studyDNA.

The students used a gelatin mate-rial to expose the DNA to an electricfield, which then cut the DNA intofragments. At this point, studentslearned how to visualize the DNApieces, as they were too small to seewithout a special process. This visual-ization helped them learn how to esti-mate the size of DNA pieces.

Last year, the Elder HighSchool volleyball team rodean imposing frontcourt tothe fourth state title in pro-gram history, including thesecond in three years.

The Panthers, however,graduated Matt Harpenauand John Lucas, who were6-8 and 6-7, respectively.

“Last year we wereblessed to have a lot ofheight, and that went a longway in providing some sig-nificant frontcourt defenseas well as some nice offen-sive options,” Elder headcoach Sean Tierney said.“But we return a nice groupof guys who were startersand major contributors fromlast year.”

Senior captains RyanWelch (DS), Matt Moehringand Andrew Buckhart(OPP) have led Elder to a 2-2 start (entering play April6). Elder fell 3-0 to St.Xavier in the season-openerbefore knocking off Center-ville and La Salle.

Tierney wants his cap-tains to help keep the teamfocused on continuedimprovement, especiallyafter facing tough oppo-nents early in the year.

Other seniors includeAnthony Monk (S), ChadKunze (OH), Andrew Bar-nette (MH) and BryanCoorey (DS).

“I think our backcourt isgoing to be a big strength,

and serve-receive passingwill be stronger out of thegate than it was last year,”Tierney said. “I’m still tryingto get some of the juniors upto speed with what it takesto play at this level, so we’lldefinitely have some grow-ing pains, but the potentialis there to have anothergreat team.”

Among the juniors areKevin Groll (OH), JoeDorsey (MH), Kyle Bertke(DS), Michael Svec (OPP),Ryan Morman (OH), TimVater (MH), Taylor Milam(OPP) and Matt Schneider

(S).Elder has a home match

with St. X April 14 and roadmatches against La Salleand Moeller May 10 and13, respectively.

“Playing in the GCL isalways a huge challenge,”Tierney said. “We feel privi-leged to be part of a verystrong league, and I think ifyou can prove yourself inthat league, then that putsyou on pace to do well inthe bigger picture.”

Elder also has a toughnon-conference slate. ThePanthers host Marist, the

defending Illinois statechampion, April 16.

They also travel to PennState University May 6 for a40-team tournament, whichwill include teams fromthroughout the Midwestand East Coast.

“It’ll be fun to partake inthose experiences and rep-resent Cincinnati and Ohiovolleyball,” Tierney said.“But ultimately our top goalis be playing our best vol-leyball come May in thepostseason.”

Oak HillsThe Highlanders returned five

starters from a team that went 15-10 last year and advanced to theregional semifinals.

Among the returners are JamesLuebbe, David Boehnlein, MattArlinghaus, Ryan Moorman andT.J. Wagner.

“Five returning starters from lastyear’s team could provide valuableexperience,” sixth-year head coachChris Morman said.

It certainly appears so; Oak Hillsstarted the season 5-0 and is atopthe Greater Miami Conferencestandings.

The Highlanders opened theseason with wins over a pair ofKentucky teams – St. Henry andHoly Cross – before downing Mid-dletown, McNicholas and PurcellMarian.

Morman carries a 65-52 recordduring his Oak Hills tenure.

St. XavierThe Bombers, which finished 15-7

last year, have started 8-1(entering play April 7).

St. Xavier defeated ColumbusDeSales, Hilliard Bradley,Louisville Trinity, Bishop Watter-son, Hilliard Davidson and LaSalle at the St. Charles Invita-tional March 25-26.

The Bombers then earned a 3-0home win over league rival anddefending state champion ElderMarch 29.

Their first loss of the season cametwo days later at Moeller. TheCrusaders won 3-0 (25-15, 25-

21, 25-20).Among St. X’s top players are sen-

iors Ben Lottman, MatthewKues, Matthew Devine, MichaelO’Brien Jr., Benjamin Krzmarz-ick, James Stenger, AdamBambach and Kyle Spoelker.

Also contributing are juniors BrianShannon, Michael Fletcher,Benjamin Hart, Collin Flesner,Stephen Creevy and PrestonHart.

St. X is coached by Bill Ferris, whohas led the Bombers to fourstate-final appearances and twochampionships (2003 and2006).

Four former Cincinnati-area high school basketballstars teamed up this seasonat Bellarmine Universityand brought home a nation-al championship.

Nick Holmes (Elder),Steve Pogue (Oak Hills),Julian Wilkison (Anderson)and Tony Hamann (Love-land) took their turns hoist-ing the Division II men’sbasketball championshiptrophy after Bellarminedefeated Brigham YoungUniversity-Hawaii for thetitle on Saturday, March 26,in Springfield, Mass.

The 71-68 thriller wasthe first men’s basketballnational championship inBellarmine history and anight these four local prod-ucts will never forget.

“That night was amaz-ing,” said Pogue, a seniorforward. “We achievedsomething we’ve wanted todo our whole lives.”

For Pogue and fellowsenior Holmes, the title wasthe culmination of their fouryears of hard work. Poguetransferred to Bellarminefrom Miami University afterhe was awarded a medicalredshirt for the 2006-07season.

“We accomplished whatwe’ve been workingtowards for four years,”Holmes said.

The Knights program hascome a long way in thosefour years. Head coachScott Davenport took overthe program in 2005 afterserving as a long-timeassistant coach at Louisvilleunder both Denny Crumand Rick Pitino. Daven-port’s first winning seasonat Bellarmine came in

2007-08 when the Knightsfinished 17-11 in Holmes’sand Pogue’s freshman sea-son. Since then, the Knightshave gone 82-18, includingthis year’s 33-2 title team.

“When I got here fouryears ago, we were justhappy to make the GreatLakes Valley Conferencetournament,” Pogue said.“At the end of last year, weknew we were returningalmost all of our top play-ers.”

The tone for the 2010-2011 season was set earlywhen Bellarmine defeatedXavier University in a pre-season exhibition game.The ride continued into lateMarch.

“The deeper we went inthe tournament,” Holmessaid, “the more and morewe realized that we had a

shot at winning the wholething.”

Holmes started everygame this season and icedthe championship victoryby hitting a free throw with2.1 seconds remaining. Heaveraged 7.5 points pergame and shared the teamlead with 5.1 rebounds pergame. Pogue and Hamanncontributed off the bench.Wilkison was awarded amedical redshirt after under-going preseason knee sur-gery, but was with the teamevery step of the way.

“It was an awesomeexperience,” said Wilkison,who transferred to Bel-larmine this year after play-ing two seasons at RollinsCollege. “Even not beingable to be out there, you getswept up in the atmos-phere.”

Bellarmine, located inLouisville, Ky., draws itsentire roster from Ohio,Indiana, and Kentucky.Many of the teammatesgrew up playing againsteach other in high schooland AAU ball.

“I think the Midwest hasreal strong high schoolsports,” Wilkison said.“That brings a really goodfoundation to our team.”

That familiarity with oneanother helped the Knightsestablish a strong chem-istry, which they believewas instrumental in carry-ing them to the champi-onship.

“We are all really familiarwith and have trust in ourteammates,” Holmes said.“We know where each per-son will be on the court andwhat they’ll do, especiallyin the final minutes of agame.”

Pogue and Holmes werehigh school rivals. Pogue

said he never misses achance to remind Holmeshis Highlanders defeatedthe Panthers all four yearsthey faced one another.

“I think that team chem-istry aspect we have givesus a big advantage overall,”Pogue said.

For the freshmanHamann and newcomerWilkison, the family atmos-phere cultivated by theplayers and coaching staffmade an immediate impact.

“We have such a close-knit group of guys,”Hamann said. “I felt likepart of the team as soon as Iwalked into the lockerroom.”

Hamann experiencedmore than he ever thoughthe would in his freshmanyear. The veterans set atone and an example thathe hopes the Knights cancontinue to build upon for

the future.“We saw how these guys

in front of us put in thework ethic,” said Hamann.“We have a great team com-ing back next year.”

For now, the champi-onship feelings are stillsinking in for the Knights.Holmes received congratu-latory calls from his Eldercoaches, teammates andteachers.

Pogue said the feelingsstarted to sink in when Bel-larmine hosted a public cel-ebration three days after thetitle game.

“It doesn’t really hit youat first,” Wilkison said. “Notmany people get to experi-ence that feeling.”

Said Pogue, “This isgoing to be something we’llbe able to talk about forever.That (championship) nightwill be something we’llalways remember.”

The St. Xavier HighSchool tennis team, whichhas won five consecutivedistrict titles, entered theseason ranked No. 1 in thecity.

The Bombers’ hold onthat No. 1 ranking, howev-er, is considerably more ten-uous than in previousyears, as St. X figures toface stiff challenges fromthe likes of Lakota East,Sycamore and Mason,ranked second throughfourth, respectively.

“In the last five years,we’ve been in the driver’sseat,” Bombers head coachRuss King acknowledged.“But I’ve got a whole lotmore experience having tothink of ways to beat some-body. I never get toosecure.”

St. X must replace RyanBandy, a former state semi-finalist who is now playingat Notre Dame, as well asthe state-qualifying doublesteam of Sean Bandy and JayFovel.

Yet the Bombers havefared well in the early sea-son, beating La Salle 5-0March 30 and winning the

St. Edward TournamentApril 2.

St. X, which totaled 47.5points, finished ahead ofToledo St. John Jesuit(29.5), Westlake (29.5),Columbus University School(21.5), Hudson (12.5),Youngstown Hoover (9),Cleveland St. Ignatius (6)and Cleveland St. Edward(0).

“I don’t know if we couldbeat some of those teamsagain if we had to, but I’drather be where we are thanwhere they are, trying tofigure out how to beat us,”King said. “But honest togoodness, there was someluck involved.”

Senior Devin Bostick ofMount Lookout, a returningdistrict-qualifier, is St. X’sNo. 1 singles player.

“He’s got his work cutout for him,” King said. “Weneed him to hold his spot.”

Other key performers areseniors Edward Broun Jr. ofAnderson and Casey Learyof Loveland, as well assophomores Matt Santen ofHyde Park and MatthewDuma of Montgomery.

Other contributorsinclude seniors DylanFolzenlogan of Lovelandand John Heskett of Spring-dale, juniors Donald Baver-man of Delhi and EricSalomon of Hyde Park and

sophomore Elliot Bostick ofMount Lookout.

According to the St.Xavier school website, theBombers have won theGreater Catholic LeagueSouth division every yearsince 1968.

St. X aims for 6th straight district title

La SalleAmong the key singles per-

formers for the Lancers areAnthony Heckle, Kevin Bush,John Hoeweler, Sam Pieper andNick Buganski, while doublesperformers include Ryan Gund-lach, Sam Samoya and TravisRobertson.

La Salle is coached by MikeHollman.

Oak HillsThe Highlanders return six

starters from a team that went 6-9 and finished seventh in theGreater Miami Conference lastseason.

Among the returners areJames Byrne, Jay Morgan, Chris-tian Vandewalle, Miraj Patel,Anthony Wunder and Ed Smith.

The top newcomer, mean-while, is Michael Raabe.

Third-year head coach RobHeuerman said the Highlanders’success hinges on doubles andthird singles play.

Oak Hills (1-1 entering actionApril 7) won just three matches in2009 before winning six in 2010.

Last week’s questionShould voters be required

to provide a photo ID at thepolls? Why or why not?

“There is no reason why thereshouldn’t be requirements toshow a photo ID in order to beable to vote. A photo ID is avail-able for very minimal cost and tosay there is voter suppression orintimidation because it would cre-ate a hardship for low-income andelderly citizens is not a real reasonnot to require a photo ID. If any-one ever goes to a bank to cash acheck today it requires a photo ID,and it doesn’t have to be a greatamount on the check to be asked,as I get asked to see photo IDwhen cashing my daughter’s$1.10 check from Clermont Coun-ty DD. And don’t give the reasonthat you don’t have a bankaccount. Elderly who haveMedicare checks coming in haveto cash them somewhere. The lowincome get welfare checks. Wheredo these people cash thesechecks? They can’t say they havethem direct deposited, since thatwould negate their argumentsabout not having ID, since theywould have had to have somekind of ID to open a bank account.To those of you who believe need-ing a photo ID to vote, tell mewhere I am wrong. I seriouslydoubt you can.

R.D.

“I have worked the polls inAnderson Township, we alreadyrequire a picture ID before votingand have for some years. No oneever objected and understood theneed to be identified. I think itmakes the voting results morecredible. One citizen aged 18 orolder equals one vote, that’s whatit’s all about.

“I just wish that more citizenswould take voting seriously andcome to the polls or vote byabsentee. In these troubled times,we need all eligible Americans tovote their opinions on ElectionDay.”

E.E.C.

“Yes. A photo ID is required formany things that are not nearlyas important as voting.

“Voter fraud is very serious. Itundercuts the legitimacy of ourdemocracy and dilutes the valueof every valid vote. And, with allthe illegals in our area it is a veryreal possibility.

“By all means, a photo IDshould be required and it shouldbe examined closely, since it iseasy to obtain such things ascounterfeit drivers licenses.”

T.H.

“Yes, don’t you want your voteto be secure?”

N.P.

“You need a photo ID (pass-port) to enter the United Stateseven if you are a citizen of theUSA. You need a photo IDto board a commercial airliner ifyou are over 18 years old. Youneed a photo ID (driver’s license)to legally operate an automobile.The government is willing to issuephoto IDs to anyone that needsone for a very nominal cost.

“Some will allege it is raciallymotivated. There is a legitimatereason for positive identificationwith a photo ID. Voter fraud iswell known to all. Qualifying tovote requires a process. Includinga photo ID in that process seemslogical and well intended, despitepolitically motivated objections.”

J.S.D.

“Absolutely! We need it to fly,

sometimes to validate a debit orcredit card purchase, to write acheck at times and states/munici-palities can issue an ID card forthose that do not drive.”

M.A.M.

“Voter fraud is virtually non-existent in Ohio. This is simply aneffort to disenfranchise the elder-ly, poor, and minorities who arethe least likely to have a driverslicense or some other form of ‘offi-cial’ ID.

“The Plutocracy that has man-aged to gain full control of thestate and pursuing same with thefederal government is attemptingto diminish all opposition withnumerous laws and edicts,whether they are legal, moral, orethical is immaterial.

“The Right will take away yourvoice through voting and collec-tive bargaining restrictions to gettheir ideology in place. God helpOhio and America.”

J.Z.

“Much of the research seemsto indicate that there is really verylittle voter fraud so doing any-thing different is questionablebecause the cost bears littlereturn.

“On he other hand, it wouldseem that the least we shouldexpect in fulfilling any importantcivil obligation is that the personis who they say they are and isold enough to qualify.

“Why is this so intrusive? Youhave to show a governmentissued picture ID to get on a plane,to check into many hotels, to buyliquor or tobacco and to cash acheck.

“Drivers must have driver’slicenses available when driving orrenting a car and pilots when fly-ing. People carrying guns needconcealed carry permits and hold-ers of national park passes getasked for ID frequently. If youhave reached the age of 18 yearsold and do not have an ID, per-haps you shouldn’t vote becauseyou can’t prove that you are oldenough to vote or substantiateyour identity.

“Showing ID to do somethingimportant is completely acceptedin our society and voting is impor-tant.

“If you are such a nobody thatyou can’t identify yourself, youshould not be allowed to vote.The State of Ohio already providesa means to get an ID, no matterwhat your age, even if you don’thave a driver’s license. They areavailable at every Deputy Regis-trar’s office.”

F.S.D.

“As far as I know I havealways had to produce an I.D. tovote. Anything that would cutdown of voter fraud is OK withme.”

D.D.

“Yes, of course! To name a few,we have to provide photo IDwhen purchasing liquor, getting adriver’s license or plates, or usinga credit card.

“Voting is more important thanany of those actions. What’s thebig deal?”

R.V.

“I don’t care.”M.B.

The Cincin-nati RecreationCommission hasno money toopen the SaylerPark swimmingpool this sum-mer. If we wantour kids toswim, we haveto raise$37,000 for theeight-week pro-gram ourselves.

The recre-ation commission has a founda-tion that is raising money fromlarge corporations to keep somepools open, but may not getenough money to open ours.They have created a three-tieredsystem of pools, based on sizeand attendance. They need$252,123 in Tier 1 to open Pleas-ant Ridge, Ryan in Westwood,Evanston, Lincoln in the WestEnd and McKie in Northside.

Sayler Park is in Tier 2 withHartwell and Mount Washington.We need $128,156 for bothpools. Dempsey, Madisonville,Oakley and Winton Hills are inTier 3 and need $177,439. Theremaining seven are on their ownand may not have pools open.

Three pools funded by the OttoArmleder Trust will be open.Those are Dunham in West PriceHill, Over-the-Rhine and Avon-dale. Four spray grounds also willbe open with another three underconstruction.

I do not remember the year,but in the early 1920s or 1930s,the Sayler Park PTA asked the cityto build a swimming pool forSayler Park children. They saidkids were swimming in the OhioRiver and a child had justdrowned. Eventually, a swim-ming pool was built and summerprograms were offered to the kids

through the recreation commis-sion.

The Community MemorialCenter had been operating recre-ational programs at the CMC fieldssince 1948. They held fundrais-ers, but were barely able to raisethe money needed to field theteams. The city focused on SaylerPark after the 1974 tornado, sothe SPCMC asked for help. Theynegotiated an exchange with thecity. The CMC property was for anall-purpose recreation buildingand a deep-water pool to follow infour to five years. In August, acommunity meeting was held atSt. Aloysius and the deal wasapproved.

The recreation building wascompleted in 1976, but the deep-water pool was delayed. LouisFred Dickman kept reminding thecity that they promised us a pool.About 1984, he learned thatsomeone had donated a deep-water pool to the city. He con-vinced the city to put it in SaylerPark. The new pool opened inJune with swim classes, life-sav-ing classes and full days of open

swim. It was dedicated July 3,1985, to Louis Fred Dickmanbecause he worked so hard to getit and spent another 20 years indedicated service to the SPCMC.

There has been a swimmingpool in Sayler Park for about 80years and it would be a realtragedy for it to close.

The recreation center staff helda 5K run April 1 and raised$2,128. They raised another$21,314 from businesses and res-idents. A barometer on the wallshows how much of the $37,000has been raised. The figureschange daily. As of April 5,$7,318 is still needed and thatmust be raised by April 16. Thecity needs time to hire lifeguardsand other staff.

They have worked so hard andare so close. Do not let themdown. Stop in at 6720 Home CityAve. or call 941-0102 and leave adonation.

Our time-honored Pledge ofAllegiance has been thrust againinto national discussion because afew atheists have attacked thewords “under God” added to thePledge by Congress in 1954.

Lincoln used those words inhis Gettysburg Address, but theirmore recent history deservesattention.

On Feb. 7, 1954, commemo-rating Lincoln’s birthday, GeorgeDocherty, a Scottish immigrantand pastor of New York Ave. Pres-byterian Church in WashingtonD.C., preached a sermon entitled“Under God.”

Pondering the pledge said byhis children in school, heobserved that except for thewords “United States of America”it could be used as a pledge to anyother republic. Missing was whathe said was the distinctive thingabout America … our founding inthe providence of God. Belief inGod and “firm reliance on the pro-tection of divine providence” areaffirmed in the Declaration ofIndependence. Docherty, not yet a

citizen, calledthat acknowl-edgment of God“the characteris-tic and definitivefactor of ‘theAmerican Wayof Life.’”

Within threedays after hear-ing that sermon,President Eisen-hower persuad-ed Congress toadd “under

God” to the pledge, and on FlagDay, 1954, he signed it into law.

On the 50th anniversary of hishistoric sermon, Docherty washonored with 500 people attend-ing, despite pickets outsiderevealing their ignorance anddenial of the historically docu-mented fact of America’s founda-tional relationship with God.While exercising their freedom topicket, they denied to others thefreedom of religion and of the pul-pit.

Docherty died on Nov. 27,

2009, at age 97 with hardly anypublic notice of his death, indicat-ing the degree to which politicalcorrectness prevails over historictruth.

I feel privileged to havereceived from Docherty a signedcopy of his sermon, and to havehad subsequent correspondencewith his widow.

Numerous attempts have beenmade to have “under God”removed from the pledge and “InGod We Trust” removed from ourmoney. According to the Ameri-can Center for Law and Justice,the Ninth Circuit Court of Appealshas recently upheld the constitu-tionality of those phrases, so,another attempt to revise historyhas been rejected.

Thomas Jefferson said “Godwho gave us life gave us liberty.”It behooves us, in this tumultuoustime in America, to reaffirm, withrenewed faith and hope, that weare, indeed, a “nation under God.”

The sin against spring-time is inattention. How canwe not be affected by somuch beauty and the insis-tence of life?

Spring is the time whenlife reminds us it is nevergone. It strains against thewalls of earth’s confinementand always finds cracks toslide free into open air.

Cabin fever is nowreplaced by freedom. Wheredeath claimed victory, lifesays, “Oh no you don’t!”

Though throughout win-ter our daily lives may feelfrosted and forlorn, spring’swarm breezes laugh, playwith our hair, and tell us wewere wrong.

Spring makes liars of pes-simists. It sprouts hope,vitality, and an encourage-ment to live more enthusias-tically. We recognize a callto revel in the sensuality ofour bodies and let loose thelove in our hearts.

Attentiveness is the pre-requisite for appreciatingspringtime. We have to bethere in it. Put everythingelse aside and permit it toenvelop us.

John O’Donohue writes,

“Beauty isnot to becap tu r edor con-trolled forthere issomethingintrinsical-ly elusivein itsn a t u r e .More like avisitationthan a

solid fact, beauty infuses alandscape with an unexpect-ed intimacy that satisfies ourlonging.”

Routine is an enemy ofappreciating beauty. Routinecreates ruts. And well-wornruts can become so deepthey prevent us from seeingover the sides. Spring tauntsus to climb out of our rutsand be young again in feel-ing and memories.

How can we get out ofour ruts? That’s probablypart of what was going on inthe mind of Nicodemuswhen he talked with Christone day.

“How can I be born andbe new again when I’mold?” he asked.

Undoubtedly his life hadbecome more and more rigid,more captured by cynicismand harnessed by repetition.Life was getting old for him.

He was envious of theyoung, rarely laughed, andwondered how he couldbecome young again.

Evidently he didn’t realizethat to be alive we mustmaintain a sense of wonder,walk more slowly, andbecome closer to those welove. Rushing throughspring is like the lady vaca-tioning in Paris. She went tosee the works of art in theLouvre.

When she came backhome she bragged that shehad seen all there was to seethere in an hour, and shecould have made it in 45minutes if she wasn’t wear-ing heels.

Springtime elicits move-ment from us but it’s not ahurrying movement in highheels. It is a walking in barefeet on fresh grass.

It is a collaboration withGod, who never tires of mak-ing everything young andnew again inside us. “See, I

am making all things new!”(Revelation 21:5)

We are part of the naturalworld. We’re interdependentwith it even though our cul-ture tends to isolate us fromit. But we cannot exist in ahealthy balance outside ofnature because our bodiesevolved in concert with it.

The great biologist RenéDubos believed that we areretreating further and furtherfrom nature and becomingmutants.

Many have ceased livingin nature and have nowmade their home in Technol-ogy Land.

Their fascination in nowwith the latest ear plugs,iPods, iPads, iPhones, etc. Achange of season occurs forthem on the day a newgadget is released for sale.

Thankfully, however,most people still enjoy thebeauty of springtime.

Along with authorEdward Hays, we say:

Each day I take delight,Creator God,

as did my great-grand-parents Adam and Eve,

in enjoying the garden ofEden called Earth,

which each spring, gra-ciously grants

an encore of your firstact, creation

I stand and applaudwith all earth’s audience

and cry out with grati-tude,

“Again, again, please doit again.”

And you will smile andreturn to center stage

to repeat the song yousang so long ago.

What sounds like aninnocent help wanted ad onCraigslist may turn out to bea new way to steal yourmoney.

It doesn’t require you towire money to anyoneoverseas, but you can stillend up being scammed.

Jennifer Hamblin ofCheviot saw such a helpwanted ad earlier this year.

“I responded to a part-time job posting onCraigslist for a housekeeper/babysitter,” she said.

A month later she heardback from those seeking help.

“They apparently weregoing to be moving from theUnited Kingdom, relocatingto Colerain Township,” shesaid.

Hamblin was told shewas going to earn $400 aweek for this part-time posi-tion and it sounded verygood.

“She started emailing meback with pictures, andeventually she sent me acheck. She wanted to emailme a grocery list to supplyher new home with gro-ceries. In the meantime,somebody else is going tobe mailing me keys to thehouse,” said Hamblin.

Hamblin actuallyreceived email pictures ofthe family and the youngdaughter she was tobabysit.

When she got the check,for nearly $3,000, she saidshe was told, “Make surewhen you deposit it yousend me a copy of thedeposit slip.”

But she said that willcome from her personalbank account, adding, “Itwill have all my informationat the bottom.”

Hamblin says anotherthing that doesn’t makesense is although the checkwas supposedly sent via

UPS fromthe UnitedKingdom,the ship-p i n ga d d r e s ssays itwas sentf r o mLouisiana.H a m b l i ndid notdeposit the

check.“I actually called the

bank that the check waswritten off of and theyknew right away it was ascam,” she said.

Hamblin said she neverreceived that promised gro-cery list, but did continuereceiving emails asking ifshe deposited the check.

“I just don’t want otherpeople to fall into the samething. They might not real-ize it’s a scam and they mayrun to the bank and cashthe check,” she said.

The key to this scam is ifyou send someone yourdeposit slip they can use itto rob you. That slip con-tains enough of your bankinformation to permit thethief to get the amount ofthat deposit right out youraccount.

You will be left holdingthe bag because the thief’scheck will bounce and thebank will require you tomake good on the money.

Incidentally, Hamblinfound this same thief hadplaced similar help wantedads claiming she was alsomoving to Cleveland,Columbus and Dayton. So,you need to beware whenanswering any ads.Howard Ain answers consumer

All during Lent, I’vebeen tossing yellow and redonion skins into my oldhand-carved wooden saladbowl from Lebanon.

The reason? To makeh o m e -made dyefor color-ing Eastereggs natu-rally.

A l o n gwith theo n i o nskins I’lluse redc a b b a g eand thes p i c e

turmeric, and beet juice. Ialways let the little oneshelp. This year, Eva, ouryoungest grandchild, willjoin her cousins coloring theeggs.

They watch in awe asthey learn their first lessonsin food chemistry: the redcabbage turns the eggs agorgeous teal blue, theturmeric gives a sunshineyellow hue to the eggs andthe onion skins are unpre-dictable but always beauti-ful in shades of amber to

brick red.I have my mom, Mary

Nader, to thank for makingus such “green advocates.”She colored our eggs withonion skins. When we werekids, we liked commerciallycolored eggs better, but as Igrew older, I came to appre-ciate just what the onionskin eggs meant.

More than just coloring,they were a way of telling astory and passing historyon to the next generation.

Naturally coloredEaster eggs

In a saucepan, place asmany papery outer skins ofyellow and/or red onionsthat you have. Cover withan inch of water.

Bring to a boil, lower to asimmer and cook untilonion skins have coloredthe water, about 10 min-utes.

Use this same methodfor red cabbage (just chunkit up), beets, etc. Even usedcoffee grounds can be used.

Strain and add a table-spoon or so of clear vinegarto set the dye.

Put boiled eggs in.Depending upon how longthey sit in the dye, the eggsmade with yellow onionskins will be pale yellow todark amber.

Red onion skins produceeggs that are brick/brownred.

Red cabbage is the win-ner: it makes beautiful tealblue eggs but these take thelongest time so you maywant to put them in thefridge until they turn theshade you like.

Turmeric makes the eggsmore brilliantly yellow thanthe marigolds my dad,Charlie Nader, used to plantin front of the porch.

Turmeric colored eggsrequire a different method.Stir 3 tablespoons or so ofturmeric in 11⁄2 cups water insaucepan .

Bring to boil. Remove, letcool but don’t strain. Add atablespoon or so of vinegar.Place boiled eggs in dye,stirring to coat.

When you remove theeggs, gently wipe offturmeric with soft cloth orrun them very quicklyunder running water.

Perfect hard-cooked eggsCover eggs with an inch

or so of cold water. Bringslowly to a boil over medi-um heat. Then put the lidon, remove from fire and letsit 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips from Rita’s kitchenRefrigerate hard-cooked

eggs within two hours afterthey’ve been found on East-er morning.

Passover brisketAdapted from Zel Schul-

man’s book “Let My PeopleEat!” I love this brisket. Ilike to make mine in acrockpot.

2-3 pounds brisket1 bottle, 12 oz., chili

sauce1⁄3 cup dark brown sugar,

packed or more to taste1 can, 10 oz., beef broth1 large onion, sliced1⁄4 teaspoon ground

cloves2 bay leaves

Put everything in crockpotand cook on low eight to 11hours or until tender. Or bakecovered, in preheated 325-degree oven for about onehour per pound. Remove bayleaves. Serves four to six.

Reader question:Honing steels

From a Milford Miami

Advertiser reader: “My hon-ing steel doesn’t work any-more. Should I replace it?”

Run your thumbnailaround the circumference ofthe tool. If you can still feelgrooves, your steel is stilluseful. It is magnetized topick up microscopic fillingsthat come off the knife’sblade. So it’s a good idea torub the steel with a clothafter use so the groovesdon’t get clogged.

Now unless the honerhas diamond chips in it,most steels won’t sharpena dull knife (they restorethe knife’s bite by straight-ening the microscopic“teeth” at the edge that foldwith use).

If a knife doesn’trespond to honing, it’s timeto get it sharpened profes-sionally.

They learned a bit aboutartistic technique and a lotabout themselves.

St. Xavier High Schoolart students recently collab-orated with the non-profitVisionaries and Voices andthe results line the schoolwalls.

The project brought agroup of artists with disabil-ities to the school. Fromthere, the artists and stu-dents spent time together,talking about themselvesand their art.

Then, the St. X studentswere challenged to draw aportrait of one of the chal-lenged artists.

“The person I had wasdevelopmentally disabled,”said Justin Hobing, a WhiteOak freshman.

“I was a little nervous atfirst,” Hobing said. “But, Istarted asking him about hislife and what he likes todraw.

“It was good to challengehim and it was good for me.He really liked his portraitand that was reassuring.”

Hobing said he usedwhat he had gleaned from a30-minute conversation totry and convey in his por-

trait. The man is depictedwearing a red and white“Cat in the Hat” hat, with aChristmas tree and lightningbolt in the background.

“I learned Dr. Seuss washis favorite author and thatChristmas Day was hisfavorite day and that springwas his favorite season,”Hobing said.

“He was really ecstaticwhen he saw it.”

Brett Blaha, an AndersonTownship sophomore saidhe, too, tried to incorporatehis person’s personality intohis portrait.

“He loved super heroesand was wearing an IronMan shirt, so that’s what Iput in the portrait.

“I learned that someonemay seem different, butafter a little bit, it was com-fortable and he was easy totalk to,” Blaha said.

Neil Jones, also a sopho-more from Anderson Town-ship, said he had a bit moreof a challenge.

“My person was non-verbal, but he was a reallygood guy,” Jones said. “Wefound out how to communi-cate in other ways.”

St. X art teacher TedMechley said along withhoning their art skills, thelessons students learned

“will resonate with them alot longer than a lecture.”

Linda Dietrich, Visionar-ies and Voices executivedirector, whose programoffers disabled artists studiospace and a forum for sell-ing their work, said she’sthrilled with the programand the resulting exhibit.

“Our artists are in con-stant search of inspiration.

“I think the inspirationthat flowed both ways –from the St. X students toour artists and from our

artists to the students –came together in a wonder-ful show.”

The Portraits: Our Waysof Seeing Each Other exhib-it is open to the public dur-ing school hours.

Call 761-7600 for moreinformation.

St. Xavier High School islocated at 600 North BendRoad in Springfield Town-ship.

Justin Hobing, a White Oak St. Xavier High School freshman, makes sure theportrait he drew is perfectly straight on a school wall. The Visionaries and Voicesexhibit will continue lining the school hallways for another week.

With a strong commit-ment to “green,” the Cincin-nati Zoo & Botanical Gardenwill now turn its efforts to“brown.” As the GreenestZoo in America, the Cincin-nati Zoo is a leader in windpower, solar energy, waterconservation and stormwater management.

Now, there is much adoabout poo. The zoo is goingfor the title of being No. 1 atNo. 2. More than 1,100pounds of elephant andgiraffe dung, 900 pounds ofSumatran rhino, camel,takin, red river hog, gazelleand Przewalski’s horsedroppings and 700 poundsof black and Indian rhinoand zebra waste accumu-lates every single day at theCincinnati Zoo.

That’s roughly one mil-lion pounds of Zoo Do pro-duced annually.

The Cincinnati Zoo andMarvin’s Organic Gardensin Lebanon, Ohio, havejoined forces to compost theZoo’s largest source oforganic waste – fecal matterand bedding from three her-bivore exhibit areas. With500 tons of waste projectedto be recycled in the firstyear, there are several rea-sons why this makes perfectsense.

First of all, there will beless waste volume and asignificant reduction inmethane production inlandfills from the Cincinnatizoo. Secondly, the zoo willsave $5,000 to 10,000 ayear in waste managementcosts.

“Marvin’s Organic Gar-dens is a great partner forthe zoo. They provide uswith over 40 years of com-posting experience and ateam of experts,” said MarkFisher, senior director offacilities & sustainability atthe Cincinnati zoo. “Findinga partner, and getting thisproject started, was themost logical next step inorder for the Cincinnati zooto continue to be the green-est zoo in America.”

The zoo also received agrant of $35,000 from theHamilton County Recyclingand Solid Waste District to

help launch and implementthe first year of this project.

The grant allowed theZoo to purchase an all-ter-rain forklift and seven largescale compost bins, whichare being used to move theorganic waste from the ani-mal exhibits to the waste-pickup area, within the zoo.

“Nearly a dozen zookeepers, from all three her-bivore exhibit areas startedthis composting programand are responsible for get-ting the organic waste fromthe exhibits to the zoo’sservice road, where thewaste can be dumped intocomposting bins,” saidThane Maynard, executivedirector of the zoo.

“This really is a teameffort and cannot be suc-cessful without the buy-infrom everyone within theorganization. Fortunatelyfor us, everyone here at theCincinnati zoo is committedto being green.”

“The Hamilton CountyRecycling and Solid WasteDistrict is proud to partici-pate in the Zoo’s organicwaste composting project.We applaud the Zoo’s cre-ative solution to recyclingthis waste stream.

By diverting this materialfrom the landfill, the Zoo ishelping us reach our recy-cling goals in HamiltonCounty,” said Holly Christ-mann, district programmanager.

Each week, Rumpke willpick up the organic waste atthe zoo and deliver it toMarvin’s Organic Gardens.Marvin’s Organic RecyclingCenter currently receivesfood waste, paper yardwaste, animal manure andwoody materials which theycompost into large moundsand let age “like fine wine.”These mounds are turned atleast four times a year tospeed up the decompositionprocess, reduce nutrient lossand promote the highestquality of compost.

“We are thrilled to bepartnering with an organi-zation as treasured as theCincinnati zoo,” said WesDuren, vice president atMarvin’s Organic Gardens.

CBRP provides free read-ing instruction for first-through first-grade childrensuffering from severe read-ing deficiencies or symp-toms of dyslexia. Using amulti-sensory technique

based on the Orton-Gilling-ham approach, CBRP givesstudents the tools and confi-dence to read independent-ly. Students enrolled inCBRP take classes four daysa week for one hour for twoyears. Since the program'sinception in 1998, gradu-ates have averaged a 3.5grade level increase in theirword attack skills. In the2009-10 school year, 49students were servedthrough the CBRP classes.

CR recruits and trainsvolunteers to work one-on-

one with kindergartne-fourth-grade students inCincinnati Public Schools(CPS) who read below gradelevel. In 2010, CR trained566 tutors and placed themin over 30 schools. 1,969volunteers have completeda training seminar since2001.

“I am grateful for thesupport of community part-ners like the Harrison Fami-ly Fund of the GreaterCincinnati Foundation.Their commitment to aidingchildren who struggle with

literacy is commendable,”said Kathy Ciarla, LNGC'spresident. “They are makinga positive difference andhelping to ensure more sta-ble, thriving neighborhoodsby providing the best possi-ble educational programs.”

Delhi Township is hometo a new flooring and homeimprovement business.Delhi Floors and More, at406 Greenwell Ave., offerscustomers a little bit ofeverything.

From hardwood to lami-nate to carpeting, Lori Fos-ter, 37, Cheviot, uses her20-year flooring experienceto give customers the serv-ice they need.

Foster collaborated withDelhi residents, ChrisAhern, 45, and Matt Fry,39, owners of Valex Proper-ties Restoration to establishDelhi Floors and More.

The three offer help withresidential remodeling andcan offer supplies for cus-tomers looking to do theirown repairs or upgrades.

The decision to developDelhi Floors and More wassimple. Ahern and Fryworked on remodeling andflipping houses and repeat-edly worked with Foster astheir flooring installer.

Foster started in theflooring business when shewas 18, working for herbrother Mike Francisco atnow closed Francisco Floor-ing. She opened her ownflooring store in 2007, theFloor Store West. Because ofthe sluggish market andexcessive overhead in her5,000-square-foot store,she was forced to close thestore.

The three came togetherand found that there wasn’ta flooring store in Delhi anddecided to meet the need.Delhi Floors and Moreopened in October 2010.

Their clientele are a prod-uct of word of mouth andrepeat-clients.

“We might put up a deckon someone’s house,” Frysaid, “and then their neigh-bors are trying to keep up

with Jones’ and they give usa call.”

Delhi Floors and Moreowners agree that success-ful business is about satis-faction and security.

“We can compete with

the big hardware storesbecause of our customerservice,” co-owner Ahernsaid, “Lori has 20 yearsexperience, Home Depothasn’t been around thatlong.”

Phil Bengel teacheshealth and social studies,and coaches freshman bas-ketball and track at ElderHigh School.

A resident of Sayler Park,the 27-year-old also is aseason ticket holder at Bris-tol Motor Speedway.

A few weeks ago, Bengelentered for a chance to bethe honorary starter of thetrack’s NASCAR Sprint CupSeries race on March 20.

One of four finalists cho-sen, he had 10 seconds toappeal to fans in the grand-stands. Bengel played to thecrowd, guaranteeing a DaleEarnhardt Jr. victory, andthe fans chose him to wavethe green flag to start theJeff Byrd 500 presented byFood City.

Along with a lastingmemory, and suite ticketsfor the race, Bengel receiveda $100 Food City gift card, ashirt and hat and a plaquecommemorating the occa-sion. He shared his story.

“The (NASCAR) officialtook me through a crash

course on what we weregoing to do to wave theflag. He also gave me theopportunity to do the(hand) signal for two to goand one to go to the drivers.He gave me the flag,showed me how to wave itand then just said, whenthey’re coming out of (turn)four, he’ll hold them backand then he’ll tap me on theback when it’s time to pullthe flag and start waving.From there it was justnerves.

“My biggest concern wasI was afraid I was going todrop the flag. Like literallydrop it on the track becausemy hands were so sweaty. Iwas so nervous. But assoon as he patted me on theback, that all went awayand I just went ahead andjust kept waving. It workedout perfectly.

“I’m basically telling myheroes when they get tostart the race. When thatpace car dropped in Turn 4to go in, I realized what wascoming. And as soon as Ipulled that flag, just to hearthose 43 horses coming at

you, it was amazing.“You just heard just a

real dull roar and then all ofa sudden, engines scream-ing, wind flying at you. Itwas just a rush just to hearall that. And to be overthem as well. When you’reon the flag stand, you’releaning over (the track). I’mbasically on top of the roofof the cars on that outsidelane waving that flag. Itwas unreal. It was almostsurreal when I was up there.

“They let me watch thefirst 10 laps up in the stand,too. That was really cool.They gave us suite tickets,so we got to go up in thesuite the whole time.

“We were right on thestart-finish line up in thesuite. Noise-wise, intensity-wise, it definitely didn’tcompare to being rightthere. But I think it was agood thing. Like I wastelling my dad, he wentwith me, it was a darn goodthing they put us up therebecause if I had stayeddown on the track I don’tthink my heart rate couldhave taken it.”

“When I was sellingcookies, they were 50 centsa box,” said North CollegeHill resident, Barb Sarver,59.

Sarver distracts herselfwith a book at the GreenTownship branch of thePublic Library of Cincinnatiand Hamilton County whileher granddaughter, Caitlyn,10, decorates a name tag.Caitlyn and five of her peerswill get to know each otherat “Be a Smart Cookie”Camp, a six-week Girl Scoutprogram designed for girlsinterested in selling cookieswithout being in a tradition-al troop.

Three University ofCincinnati students lead theprogram designed to teachthe girls leadership andbusiness skills all whilehaving fun.

The girls finish drawingtheir last squiggles and starswhile the leaders pass outbookmarks that display the

Girl Scout law and promise.Sophia Herrmann, 18,

Green Township, speaks upand asks the girls to join inand recite the law andpromise, a “Girl Scout tradi-tion,” she says.

Tradition is somethingGirl Scout membershipextension specialist, Brit-tany Troescher, 24, is tryingto establish. Though theprogram is intended for girlswho aren’t in troops, shehopes that a troop can beestablished.

“Parents will have theopportunity to be a witnessof what the girls are learn-ing,” Brittany said, “It’s anopportunity to grow togeth-er.”

Girl Scouts mission is tobuild courage, confidence,and character, all skills evi-dent in “Be a Smart Cookie.”From learning how to makea pitch to making changethe girls are exposed to thebusiness and social aspectof selling cookies.

“I think selling cookies isfun because I get to go out

and explore,” Kristina Grop-penbecker, 10, said.

As the meeting nears anend, the girls talk amongthemselves. Rumors ofcookie tasting are passedaround the table. Withouthesitation, the leaders pullout six cookie boxes, passout plates, and give the girlssamples of each kind ofcookie. Girls quickly affirmor establish their favoritecookie, something they canrecommend to future cus-tomers.

After the crumbs arecontained and stomachssatisfied, the girls gatheraround in a circle to sing aGirl Scout song. With thelast note, the meeting isover. The girls scurry totheir seats, grab their orderforms and head to the door.

“See you next week,”the leaders say to the girls.

Barb closes her book andwalks with Caitlyn out thedoor. Though cookies nowcost more than 50 cents, thetradition continues.

GUMP-HOLT Funeral HomeFACT or FICTION?

Marilyn Holt

3440 Glenmore Avenue, Cheviot 661-0690

Both men and beasts have a body.But beasts have no soul Man has.The existence of a soul can not beproved by mathematical formula. Itis not a scientific realism. The soulcan only exist by faith in the beliefof the Resurrection. Disbelief in theResurrection is the same as saying an

attested event in history is fiction and not fact.

Onehas a choice to believe it as fact or fiction that immortalityis assured in Resurrection. From mountain tops, hills andvalleys and in cities and towns all over the world, throngs ofpeople celebrate Easter as a joyful day. They profess belief inlife after death. They believe the Resurrection is the sole causefor the initial creation and continuance of theChristian Church.

If the significance of these facts are acceptedby throngs in church attendance on Easter,should not these same facts be rememberedwith prayful devotion by similar throngs an allover days, and especially by church worship onother Sundays as well?
