Responses toWooster Pikeimprovementproject mixed

FAIRFAX — The nearly-completed Wooster Pike Pro-ject has met with mixed reac-tions frommotorists andbusi-ness owners.

While some say thechanges have improved con-ditions forpedestrians, otherssay it has exacerbated trafficissues in the community.

“Instead of Wooster Pikerevitalization, I’d call it Woos-ter Pike aggravation,” saidVirginia Murphy, a Mt. Look-out resident who regularlydrives along Wooster Pike.

“All the commuters thatuse that route are being ad-versely impacted.”

Murphy said she is frus-trated by traffic delays andcongestion during rush hour.She said a lot of this can be at-tributed to the constructiondelays associated with theproject.

Additionally, she said shehas concerns about the cost,which is about $3.3 million.

“(This) area on WoosterPike is industrialmanufactur-ing and business,” she said.“(Fairfax is trying) to make itlook like some town centermall.”

While aesthetics are a partof the project, Fairfax VillageAdministrator Jenny Kamin-er has said a goal of the pro-ject was to make the areamore pedestrian-friendly aswell as improveconditions formotorists.

The first phase of the pro-ject, which began in 2012, in-cluded curb and sidewalk im-

provements, reduction of thelanes along Wooster Pike andthe installation of new trafficsignals.

The second phase of theproject, which will be com-pleted by the end of the year,includes the installation ofred brick medians and deco-rative light poles.

Cul-de-sacs have also beeninstalled at Camden Avenue,Carlton Avenue, Simpson Av-enue, Lonsdale Street andGermania Avenue.

While some have ques-tioned whether the cul-de-sacs would adversely affectemergency response times,Chief Terry Ramsey with theLittle Miami Joint Fire andRescue District has said thecul-de-sacs have not createdan issue.

“The cul-de-sacs don’t hin-der our response,” he said.

What could have been aproblem with raised medianswas also resolved by usingbrick medians that are flushwith the roadway. Ramseysaid this potential problemwas addressed early in theprocess.

Additionally, Ramsey saidthe new traffic signals havebeen beneficial. Several traf-fic lights have a signal thatcan be activated by the de-partment allowing them to ad-just red and green signals atan intersection when respon-

ding to an emergency.Fairfax business own-

er Joly Fryer said his pri-mary concern has beenthe dust and dirt duringconstruction.

“That’s been the big-gest issue,” he said.

Fryer, who is co-ownerof Tri-State Scuba in Fair-fax Commons, said hisbusiness has not been sig-nificantly impacted bythe changes.

However, he does haveconcerns people may usethe back streets to avoidpotential delays alongWooster Pike, despite theaddition of the new cul-de-sacs.

“It’s created a biggerproblem in some of theresidential areas that

were not designed forthatvolumeof traffic,”hesaid.

Mariemont residentand former MareimontVillage Council memberCortney Scheeser said he

wouldhave likedthe projectto havebeen com-pletedsooner, butoverall heis im-pressedwith the

changes.“I think itwas the right

project for (the) commu-nity,” he said. “The smart(traffic) lights move traf-fic more efficiently thanthe old mechanical sig-nals.

“I think it was a bene-ficial project for Fair-fax.”

anniversary. Originallycalled Our Lady of MercyHospital Anderson, thehospital opened its doorsAugust1984.At the time itwas an extension of OurLady of Mercy HospitalMariemont.

Both siteswere operat-edbytheSistersofMercy.

“Wewere builtinto theside of ahill,” saidAverbeck,currently amission li-aison withAnderson

Hospital who served as achaplain at the Marie-mont facility in 1983.

“We needed to expand(and) began thinking weneeded to do somethingout east.”

The Sisters of Mercybegan planning a move toa 44-acre site in AndersonTownship.

Sister Marjorie Bosse,former CEO of MercyHospital Anderson, re-

called howsmoothlythe moveto Ander-son pro-gressed.

“Themost excit-ing partwas being

in a new facility whereyou could put in new tech-nology to provide qualitycare to people in the com-munity,” she said.

Constructionof theAn-derson hospital began in

1982.WhenOurLadyofMer-

cy Hospital Andersonopened in1984, it original-ly had 96 beds.

“It was about one-thirdof the current size,” saidAverbeck.

Within five years anobstetrics departmentand full-service lab wereadded. The number ofbedswas expanded to189.

“At the time of themove, the world got larg-er,” Averbeck said, add-ing that staff served atboth the Mariemont andAnderson locations.

“It was really excitingbut difficult because itwas breaking upwhat hadbeen the beloved Marie-mont hospital,” saidAver-beck.

The Mariemont hospi-tal, which had originallyopened in 1942, continuedoperations for a numberof years after the Ander-

son facility opened. Al-though the Mariemont fa-cility ceased operating asahospital in1989, it servesasaasenior livingfacility.

MercyHospitalAnder-sonhasundergonesignifi-cant expansion through-out the years includingthe addition of two Medi-cal Arts buildings. Thefirst Medical Arts Build-ing opened in October1984, while a second oneopened in 2007/2008.

A Mercy HealthPlexwasbuilt across the streetfrom the main facility inJuly 1998.

MercyHospitalAnder-sonbecameMercyHealth- Anderson Hospital in2011.

Mercy Health-Ander-son Hospital is currently

in the midst of one of itsbiggest construction pro-jects. Following renova-tions to the main facilityand parking adjustments,the main building will beexpanded 150,000 squarefeet.

With the expansion, allof the patients will haveprivate rooms.

Bosse said with themove to the Andersonsite, “we were able to fo-cus on a wellness ap-proach and more fully in-volve the community inhospital activities.”

“It (has been) the mostrewarding experience be-ing within this communi-ty,” she said.

Averbecksaid30yearslater, the goal in startingthe hospital remains justas substantial.

“It’s an expression ofourmission (which) is tak-ing care of people,with anemphasis on the poor oruderserved,” she said.

“The Sisters are veryproud.”

MT. WASHINGTON —Residents inMt.Washing-ton are taking back thepark.

Inaneffort tobeproac-tive toward crime in Stan-bery Park, a group orga-nized a variety of activ-ities Wednesdays throughOct. 1.

“The more residentswho come and use thepark, the less these (unde-sirable) activities willtake place,” said PriscillaElgersma, who helped or-ganize the event.

She and others are partof the Stanbery Park Ac-tion Committee, whichhopes to increase use ofthe park through variousactivities and potentiallyreduce the likelihood ofcrime such as drug activ-ity.

The idea to start theWednesday evening eventcame during a recentmeeting with park repre-sentatives, Cincinnati po-lice and residents.

It’s taking a cue fromKennedy Heights, Elgers-ma said. In recent monthsKennedy Heights has hada variety of events at itsown park to promote com-munity involvement.

Katie Donohue, whofrequently comes to thepark to walk her dog, saidthe primary issue seemsto be drug activity.

She said it seems to in-volve the same individ-

uals as opposed to a sig-nificant number.

Elgersmasaid loiteringalso seems to be an issue.

“I feel the problem isbeing dealtwith by the po-lice presence and resi-dents walking in thepark,” Donohue said.

Residents are hopingmore frequent use of theparkwill helpdeter future

problems.“It’s nipping it in the

bud before it gets out ofhand,” Linda Christmansaid. “I see this as away totake back the park.”

Elgersma said Stan-bery had been the formersite of the Mt. Washing-ton’s FarmersMarket andcontinues to be the loca-tion for the annual Pump-kin Chuck in the fall.

She said the weekly ac-tivities are a way to bringin even more people. Sheisoptimistic thisuseof theparkwill haveabeneficialimpact.

“I’m extremely confi-dent the park will be aswonderful andwelcomingas it always has been verysoon,” she said.

Inhead coach Doug Spreen’s sec-ond year at the helm, the War-riors take a 13-5 record into thefinalweekof theregularseason.This season’s success began af-ter the 2013 campaign ended.

“It started lastyear.Thegirlsgot serious about getting betterin the summer,” said Spreen.“Theyformedsometeamchem-istry, and they were comfort-able hitting the ball on Aug. 1.”

Weston and teammate Mad-die Timmers led the offseasonwork. It was little surprise thatMariemont jumped out to adominating 6-1 start to the sea-son, with their lone loss to pe-rennial Cincinnati Hills Leaguechampion Indian Hill.

“Picking up our rackets inJune definitely helped us. Wehad a lot more confidence be-cause of our preparation andthat has led to more wins,” saidWeston. “We put in the extrawork and it’s paid off for every-one.”

Spreen notices the improve-mentsmore than his players do.Last year, theywereworking onthe basics of hitting and return-ing. This year, theywere able towork on more advanced in-match strategy and changinggame plans from one match tothe next.

“They don’t realize what adifference it is from last yearandhowmuchbetter theyareastennis players,” said Spreen.“That’s the fun part for me astheir coach.”

The preseason work also al-lowed the teammates to bond.They knew they had a specialgroup coming back from lastyear’s 8-9 team. Weston earned

WALNUTHILLS—Despite theloss of nine seniors, includingseveral who have moved on tocollege, newWalnut Hills HighSchool girls soccer coach Kev-in Spraul has his team fightingfor a league title and hoping tomatch last season’s postseasonrun.

The 2013 team finished witha 2-1overtime loss to St. Ursulalast Oct. 29. From there, Gabri-elle Brokampmoved on to Uni-versity of Alabama-Birming-ham, Morgan Shafer to North-ernKentuckyandKaitlynnandAlexis Kiehl to Dayton.

Stepping in to score for theLady Eagles has been seniorforwardMackenzie Richter. Atpresstime she was second inthe Eastern Cincinnati Confer-ence in points.

“She’s been a great leaderfor us,” Spraul said. “She wascoming off the bench last yearas a forward. She’s scored a tonof goals and is always in theright place.”

Sophomore Kahla Cornetthas added burner speed on theedge for the front line. Just lastspring, she was in the statetrack meet in the 100 meters.Now, she’s the team’s second-leading scorer behind Richter.

“She’s really developing,”Spraul said. “She no longer

runsstraight togoal.She’smak-ing proper runs and lookingback.”

Also the director of coach-ing for theCincinnatiWest Soc-cer Club, Spraul is familiarwith numerous players in theTristate. He also is able to con-nect the high school and clubseasons successfully.

“Oneof thenice thingsabout

Walnut is all the kids are play-ingclub,”Spraul said. “It’s a top10 program year in and yearout. The nice thing about thisteam is we lost a lot of players,but a lot of kids want to step upand prove themselves asthey’ve been in the shadows oflast year’s seniors.”

Returning on the back linefor Walnut Hills are seniors

Scout LaCoe and Ally Franke,alongwith juniorsMaddieHor-dinski and Loren Richardson.LaCoe and Richardson weresecond team ECC last year. Inback of that quartet of defend-ers is senior keeper OliviaGrondin, who has played in arecord number of shutouts.

While keeping numbersdown in goal, Grondin was re-cently named a National Meritsemifinalist. One of the luxu-riesofcoachingatWalnut isnothaving to worry about grades.

“TheirACTscores are in theupper 20s and lower 30s,”Spraul said. “Everybody’s got a4.0 and there’s never any aca-demic issues.”

As always, the Lady Eaglesare battle-tested with a diffi-cult non-conference menu inaddition to their ECC games.After starting 0-2-1 against Ur-suline, Oak Hills and Fairfield,WalnuthasdefeatedSycamore,LakotaWest and Princeton. Be-fore the season wraps up, theywill play Mount Notre DameandSeton fromtheGirlsGreat-er Catholic League.

In the ECC, it could comedown to the final week.

“It’s looking like it’s going tobe us, Loveland, Milford andTurpin,” Spraul said.

The final two league gamesfor Walnut Hills are at homeagainst Turpin Oct. 1 and Mil-ford Oct. 7.

Walnut Hills junior Loren Richardson and Loveland freshman ColleenSwift battle for possession Sept. 23 at Loveland High School.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — Somuch for that rebuilding year.The St. Xavier soccer team isexceeding expectations withdefense under second-yearhead coach Brian Schaeper,who deploys lane-sealing mid-fielders, an impassable four-some in the back and a collegerecruit between the posts.

The Bombers allowed justfour goals their first 10 gameswhile takinganearly lead in theGreater Catholic League stand-ings.Theysurpassedtheirshut-out total from last season half-way through the schedule, fuel-ing a 9-2-1 start (as of Sept. 26).

“In our first 10 games, wehadeight shutouts.That’s a lot,”said Schaeper, returning justthree starters from last seasonwhen hewas namedGCL coachof the year with 11 seniors.“Though I’d like to see us comeup with a few more goals, I’vebeen really happy with our de-fense.”

It’s a throwback to the waySt. Xavier used to take care ofbusiness in the GCL whenSchaeper was a Bombers assis-tant and the team was yieldingless than a goal per game.

Last season, St.Xavier rotat-ed goalkeepers and allowed 16goals during the 16-game regu-lar season. They allowed 11

goals the first six games, num-bers they weren’t accustomedto, andwound up sharing the ti-tle with Elder. They finished awin short of the final 16 with aloss in the district final.

Previously, when the de-fense allowed an average offewer than one goal per game,an outright GCL championshipsoon followed. In 2012, St. Xavi-er posted nine regular-seasonshutouts, allowed nine goalsand won the league outright. In2011, they posted seven shut-outs, allowed 14 goals, and hadfirst place to themselves. In2009, all 10 regular-season winswere by shutout, with 13 goalsallowed on the way to the out-right title.

This season, the Bombersare surrendering an average of0.5 goals per game. Elder, withtwogoals in twogames,was the

only local team able to scoreagainst them through Saturday.Unfortunately, for the rest oftheir opponents, it’s a reversionto form that they can live with-out. The Bombers have out-scored the rest of the GCL andtheir Greater Miami Confer-ence foes by an 11-0 margin.

“We play a 4-4-2, and all fourdefensive backs are seniors, sowe’re pretty solid back there,”said Schaeper, a former goal-keeper at Moeller, Xavier Uni-versity and the CincinnatiKings. “Guys don’t like shoot-ing against our keeper (HenryStutz) in practice because hecan make diving saves in thecorners. He’s a tremendousshot blocker. He’ll call me afterpractice, he’s so into it.”

The back four includes re-turning starters Jack Gravesand Alex Besl, and Sam Eagan

and Jack Green. Junior ZachThomas keys the midfield. If aplayerfindshimselfwithashot,hestillhastopowertheballpasttherangyStutz, aquick-moving6-foot-2 senior heading to Col-lege of the Holy Cross in Mas-sachusetts. He’s co-captainwith Besl.

“Me and the defense are onthe same page,” said Stutz, whowas tied for first in the GCLwith 25 saves. “Our first goal isgiving 100 percent in everypractice, and we’re taking itinto games.”

The Bombers are seeking atleast a share of their sixth GCLtitle in seven years.

“Our main goal is winningthe GCL,” Stutz said. “But Ithink we’re good enough to domore. Making the state tourna-ment is not out of our reach.”

The Bombers closed theweek ranked No. 8 in the statecoaches’ poll against a ruggedschedule, including four teamsin the statewide top 20 - Cleve-land St. Ignatius, Dayton Car-roll, Mason and Walsh Jesuit.They went 2-1-1 against them.

KENWOOD — After 28years sporting the blueand gold and wearing an“M” on most days of hislife, Moeller High Schoolgolf coach Rick Bohne isstill a kid in the candystore on a brisk afternoonon the links.

“There’s nothing likethe GCL, is there?” heasks as he walks to thefirst tee to watch the be-ginning of a quad matchfeaturing his Crusaders,St. Xavier, Elder and LaSalle.

Regardless of your al-legiances, it’s tough todis-agree with the focus, de-termination and competi-tiveness displayed at anyGreater Catholic Leagueevent. From cornhole tochess, the kids are pro-grammed to win; nothingless is satisfactory.

Last year’s Moellermashers finished fifth atthe state Division I tour-nament at Ohio State.Bohne has made the tripnorth with his men 11 ofthe past 12 seasons, in-cluding the past two sea-sons.

Seniors Nick Gruber,Quinn Sullivan and BenSattler are back. Sattlerwas the 2014 Ohio Juniorchampion and Sullivanwas a 2013 district medal-ist. Junior Jake Fox hasbeen a top scorer and ju-nior Michael O’Brienrounds out the top five.

“These guys have beenplaying verywell,” Bohnesaid. “We have four guysback who started at State.We’ve been getting bettereach week. You hopeyou’re ready in October.It’s like baseball. That’swhen it counts.”

The Crusaders areclose and exhibit the con-fidence that many a non-GCL foe has felt as anearly lead dissipates be-fore theireyes.Theydon’talwayswin, but they rare-ly fade away.

Seniors Adam Garba-cik,ChrisGlaser andAlex

Gruber along with juniorAidan Brown round outthe squad. All could likelystart at numerous areaschools.

“They don’t have to re-lyononeguy,”Bohnesaid.“There’s some depththere.”

An example came at arecent match in Cleve-landwhere Sattler shot anuncustomary 83, his high-est score of the season.Not surprisingly, the oth-er Crusaders picked himup.

Another luxury ofplaying atMoeller is play-ing a course like Canter-bury in Cleveland or Scio-to inColumbus.Ofcourse,the ultimate goal is anoth-erdriveupInterstate71tobe on the Scarlet Courseof Ohio State Oct. 17-18.

“This is a toughdistrictto get out of,” Bohne said.“You have St. Xavier, LaSalle, Mason, Elder, Cen-terville and Springboroare very good. We haveour work cut out for us.”

Bohne always feelsgood about hiswork. A re-ligion teacher, he’s able totap into other aspects of aMoeller golfer’s game.Unlike a public schoolevent, a GCL outing be-ginswithaprayerwithoutany legal dissension.

“There’s a lot of simi-larities,”Bohneprofessedof golf and religion.“There’s a spiritual jour-ney in both.”

A publication of

U.S. Rep. BradWenstrupcites natural gas as one of thereasons why carbon dioxideemissions are at their lowestpoint in years.

What he omits is the factthat the methane releasedfrom fracking natural gastraps 87 times more atmos-pheric heat than CO2, so themethane emitted in the overallproduction process cancels outany gains made from replacingCO2 emissions from coal.

With regard to federal ener-gy subsidies, Wenstrup pointsout that in 2010, tax incentivesbenefiting renewables exceed-ed those of fossil fuels. In a2013 report, the InternationalMonetary Fund stated that the

U.S., withabout $500billion annu-ally, accountsfor more thanone-fourth ofall global fossilfuel subsidies.The big five oilcompaniesearned a com-bined $120

billion in profits in 2012, whileenjoying special loopholes, like“master limited partnership”rules, allowing them to escapelarge amounts of corporateincome taxes.

Wenstrup worries that re-ducing fossil fuel subsidieswill have serious economic

consequences, but global insur-ance trade associations arerecognizing the economic con-sequences of unchecked fossilfuel emissions. Their datashow that nine of the world’stop 10 most expensive lossevents of 2012 occurred in theUS, and globally, the numberof weather catastrophes hasrisen from 300 a year in 1980 to900 in 2012.

Our legislators must alsofactor in external costs like therisks and harms that oil andgas drilling brings to commu-nities – the water, air and cli-mate pollution, as well as otherdrivers of economic and publichealth problems. U.S. EPAresearchers recently found

that ill health caused by fossilfuels nationally costs taxpay-ers between $361 and $886billion annually.

There is an incredibleamount of innovation going onwith renewables in the US;enough to give us hope that wecan win the climate challenge.But we need to elect legislatorswho will help us seize the op-portunity to transition to cleanand reliable renewable energy,not walk away from it, as Mr.Wenstrup has done. Before youvote, ask your candidateswhere they stand on this issue,and whether they will pledgeto provide opportunities forpublic dialogue among all con-stituents. Marek Tyszkiewicz,

opposing Mr.Wenstrup in theDistrict 2 race, was formerly amath and physics teacher, andunderstands both climate sci-ence and economics. He wantsto help businesses reduceemissions without costing jobs.His 24 years as an actuary,helping government entitiesfund secure health and pensionplans, prepares him well tograpple with the economicchallenges ahead. Mr. Tysz-kiewicz believes the climatecrisis can be solved when weeach do our part, and pledgesstrong leadership on this issue.

I wish to formally thankU.S. Rep. Steve Chabot, U.S.Sen. Rob Portman and U.S.Sen. Sherrod Brown for theirtotal failure to negotiate drugprices for Medicare Part D.

This failure has led togreatly increased costs forall taxpayers and greatlyincreased costs for old peo-ple!

This behavior is destruc-tive to our supposed free-market system. It is a need-less extra cost for taxpayers.Accepting campaign contri-butions in exchange for a“no” vote on negotiated drug

prices is justas onerous asa governor ofa state ac-cepting freejet trans-portationfrom a con-tractor doingbusiness withhis state. Onewasted tax-

payer dollar is theft in office.Brown whines that he

doesn’t have the votes tobring legislation to the floor.

“We have tried,” he stated.“There is no possibility thatwe can get it passed.”

Portman and Chabot areboth Tea Party Republicanswho believe in “free mar-kets.” Gentlemen, how canyou have a free market whenthe market has been boughtand paid for with campaignmoney?

How can you have a freemarket when the pricing isfixed? How can you have afree market when the negoti-ations are completely onesided? You can’t! We do nothave “free markets” anymore than we have democra-cy! What we do have, is aplutocracy, where thewealthy drug companies andtheir shareholders can influ-ence your Representative’sor senator’s vote. Please tellme, if I am being too harshon these men!

Where are all the women?Oh…now I remember…JeanSchmidt used to representus. But, didn’t she write alengthy piece stating why itwas good to not have compet-itive bidding on drug prices

for old people? So, I guessgender doesn’t matter. Youjust have to follow the mon-ey, yours, as it flows to sup-pliers on a non-competitivebasis. Just like Iraq!

Should we suggest thatDefense Supply Center Phila-delphia, Virginia, and eachmilitary branch suspendcompetitive bidding for theirdrugs? Why don’t we suspendcompetitive bidding on allgovernment contracts, for allproducts and services? Ourpresent debt is $222 trillion;this would skyrocket to dou-ble or triple the current debt.

None of your representa-tives are pursuing legislationthat would fix our most im-portant problems. The debt isour number one problem.The value of our currency isthe number two problem.The security of our countryis our number three problem.

You say you are workingon a jobs bill? You cannotobtain the private invest-ment needed to sustain areliable jobs program with-out having a stable economyand a stable currency.

You want a weak dollar, sothat exports will be cheaper;yet, you are unwilling tolegislate a higher minimumwage, when the hamburgerhelpers cannot eat, due to thecheaper dollar, and a regres-sive minimum wage.

Start negotiating now, toresolve the debt, stabilize thedollar, and secure our coun-try.

Sept. 24 questionWill theU.S. eventuallyhave to

send combat troops (“boots onthe ground”) to fight ISIS in Iraqand Syria?

“I sincerely hope the U.S.does not send in ground troopsto deal with the rapidly escalat-ing ISIS crisis. This group ofradical Islamists has raised ter-ror, unspeakable deaths, brutal-ity and man’s capacity for inhu-manity toward man (and espe-cially women) to a new heightnot seen in the world since theNazi regime.We can and shoulddo as much as possible to helperadicate the ISIS scourge withdrones, air strikes and missiles,but that is unlikely to completethe job. The rest of the Arabworld needs to step up for onceand ‘police their own’ byputtingtheir boots on their ground tocomplete the elimination of theISIS vermin. Good luck to all in-volved. And hurry up!”

M.J.F.

“Yes, I believe that eventual-ly combat troops will be sentinto Iraq as part of the new warinitiative to destroy ISIS.

“It makes me angry and sadto think this because I feel likeAmericadoesn’t learnfrompasthistory (Vietnam) or even ourown recent history (Afghani-stan and Iraq). We have pushedthe men and women of ourarmed forces to the limit, spentmillions of dollars that we don’thave, and yet we continue topour both American lives andmoney into an area of the worldthat will never be brought into astate of respect for the sanctityof life, liberty and the pursuit ofhappiness.

“My only wish was that thepoliticians that are makingthesedecisionshadsomeskin inthe game as far as their sons,daughters, or family eventuallybeing the ones to be sent over tocombat ISIS. While some mayhave family involved, the vastmajority don’t, and they maketheir decisions without any real

consequence to their own lives.“Also, I think it is time to end

the executive power of continu-ingconflicts like theseandforceCongress into a vote on going towar.That iswhat it is. It is calledaWar onTerror. As such it is theduty of Congress to vote onwhether America should go towar or not. It shouldn’tmatter ifit is an election year and theyare afraid of how their vote willaffect their chances of re-elec-tion, they are abdicating theirduties and placing all the re-sponsibility on theExecutiveof-fice and then complainingwhenthat branch takes action sincetheydonotwant to assume theirConstitutional responsibilities.”

C.S.

“CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ did ashow on the ISIS problem in theMiddle East (Syria, Iraq et al).ISIS is just as scary as the AlQaeda extremists.

“Per former Obama Cabinetmember Leon Panetta, ‘The USshould have kept some troops inthe Middle East.’ Obama was ina rush to get the US out of Iraqand claim another ‘victory.’ Isuspect the next president willhave to cleanup theMiddleEastmess. Granted I still wonderwhat functions the UN per-forms. It is interesting howthose Democratic Party politi-cians seeking our votes are nowdistancing themselves fromObama. Back in 2008 he wastheir savior. He will exit as themost incompetent presidentsinceJimmyCarter.Go figure!”

The words to the song may havebeen hard for visitors to make out,but their message is clear:

Sometimes it’s nice to bequiet andlisten to the wind and the birds.

Neighborhoodsthroughout Cincinnatiand Hamilton County arechanging as suburbanitesmove downtown and cityresidentsmove to the sub-urbs.

To promote an honest,respectful exchange spot-lighting practices thatunite residents – of allraces, religions, ages,abilities, socio-economiclevels, housing situations,marital statuses, etc., etc.– in fostering strongercommunities, teens andadults are invited to joinin a free round-table dis-cussion from 6 p.m. to 8p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2, atthe United Way building,2400 Reading Road.

HostedbyHousingOp-portunities Made Equal,theeveningwillbemoder-ated by Dan Hurley, di-rector of Leadership Cin-cinnati and host of Chan-nel 12’s “Newsmakers”program. Co-sponsors forthe forum are the City ofCincinnati, HamiltonCounty and theCincinnatiHuman Relations Com-mission. The evening

kicks off with a panel dis-cussion featuring builderChrisLacey,speakerMar-garet Long and activistJai Washington. After-wards, the whole groupwill share ideas and thenbreak into to smallergroups for a more in-depth discussion.

Laceymoved fromMa-deira to the Pendletonneighborhood of Cincin-nati in 2010. His focuswillbe on how he feels andwhat he has experiencedas a newcomer in a chang-ing community. As abuilder, he also will spot-light the efforts he hasmade toward a compre-hensive approach to pro-mote a well-blendedmixed-use communityideal for business, familyand recreation.

Long,anEvendaleresi-dent, is the paralyzed vic-tim of a shooting incidentjust shy of her 20th birth-day in August of 1991.Since then, she has facedobstacles in finding ac-cessible housing anddeal-ing with others’ precon-ceptions about her abili-

ties and needs. As a Sec-tion 8 voucher-holder, shewill discuss ways neigh-bors have helped and hin-dered her acclimation tonew communities.

Washington, a long-time resident of Over-the-Rhine, uses her work as aconsultant, writer and ra-dio show host (Cincin-nati's Conscience) to pro-mote the region’s arts,culture and heritage. Shewill discuss her efforts toensure that establishedresidents are respectedand considered as devel-opment and redevelop-mentbringchanges to ourlong-established neigh-borhoods.

I don’t know what’sgotten into me. One weekI’m all dressed up beinginducted in the EscoffierHall of Fame and leafingthrough my recipe file tomake French macaroons.The next week I’m in

jeans andsandalspresentingat MotherEarthNews Fairand mak-ing myown fabricsoftener.Do youthink I’measily led?

That’s the fun thing aboutfood and home keeping.So many choices!

Steamed asparaguswith mint androasted peppers

When I had my girl-friends in my herb groupover for dinner, I choserecipes with herbs sothat they could go outinto the herb garden andcut what they needed.This was easy and stun-ning.

1 pound asparagus,trimmed & steamed untiljust crisp tender andthen blanched

1 roasted bell pepper,

cut into thin strips2-3 tablespoons white

wine vinegar1 tablespoon Dijon

mustard1 teaspoon honey or

sugarSalt and pepper to

taste3 sprigs mint, chopped

or to taste1/2 cup olive oilLay asparagus with

pepper strips on top.Whisk everything elsetogether. Drizzle on top –delicious right away ormarinated several hours.

Tip from Rita’sgarden

Blanching: Just meansdraining asparagus aftersteaming and immedi-ately putting it into abowl of ice water to stopthe cooking process andkeep the color. You canusually blanch veggies aday ahead and store incovered container in thefrig.

I find that when arecipe calls for a sprig,2” or so is good. You canalways add more.

Homemade fabricsoftener

My friend, Bert, wholives down the road in alate 1890s farmhouse,turned me on to this easy

fabric softener. LatelyBert has taken to makingher own clothes deter-gent (I shared my recipea while back), bar soap,and she’s now gone “fulltilt.” Pretty soon, I cansee her making her ownhand and foot creams. Imade a batch of this

fabric softener and real-ly love using it. I leftmine unscented, but youcan always buy scentedhair conditioner or add afew drops of essential oil,like lavender. It makes ahuge amount and is mucheconomical than buyingit. This is a fun project

for the kids. And a teach-able moment, too. Shakebefore using.

Whisk together gently:6 cups water3 cups clear vinegar2 cups liquid hair con-

ditioner of your choice

Grandma's 5ingredient creamyfruit salad

OK, so I don’t knowhow long the requests forretro recipes will keepcoming in, but here’s onethat you may remember,too. For the fellow whochatted with me afterclass, telling me in the80s, when he was a kid,he loved this salad thathis grandmamade. Makesure all fruit is drainedvery well, otherwiseyou’ll have watery salad.

12 oz. can Mandarinoranges, drained

8 oz. can crushed pine-apple, drained

1-2 cups mini marsh-mallows

1 cup flaked coconut1 cup sour creamMix everything to-

gether well. Chill severalhours before serving.

Pumpkin pointersOur pumpkins are just

now turning color. Here’ssome tips on purchasing,

etc.Pie pumpkins, also

known as sugar pump-kins, are smaller andsweeter than the jack-o-lantern type and can becooked like any memberof the squash family.

With all pumpkins,select those with a firm,blemish free rind andbright orange color.

Keep in a cool, dryplace for up to a month.A cut pumpkin can bestored in an open plasticbag in the frig up to aweek.

A 3 pound pumpkinwill yield about 3 cups ofcooked pureed pumpkin.

ClarificationAccording to Biblical

scholars, the wheat Imentioned in my Sept. 24column that was grownduring Bible days wasprobably Emmer, a typeof hulled wheat.
