Barb and Mose Demasi ofSpringfieldTownshipdefinitelydeserve recognition for thework they do to help provide aThanksgiving meal to morethan 600 less fortunate familiesin our area.
This project started severalyears ago on a much smallerscale in their kitchen. Mose is afireman and Barb is a schoolnurse. They are able to identifyfamilies who really need assis-tance.
With the help of members ofSt. Bartholomew Church inSpringfield Township and theRoger Bacon soccer playersand their families, they startedassembling ingredients for aThanksgivingmeal anddeliver-ing the boxes of food.
Thisdeliveryforeachfamilyincludes a large variety of foodincluding a turkey, stuffing,vegetables, macaroni andcheese, drinks, potatoes, and allthe other items needed to notonly provide a big family din-ner, but also feed the family forseveral days. The program hasgrown and is all done by volun-teers.
The boxes are now assem-bled at The Cincinnati FireFighters Union Hall on 1011 W.Eighth St. The program just gottoo big to be handled in theirhome.
They call the program Help-ing Hands of Hope. As I said,this is a 100-percent volunteerprogram,” said Nancy Kayes,who nominated the couple.“They don’t not receive anytype of government aid.”
Kayes said Barb and Mosebelieve that Helping Hands of
Hope exemplifiesMother Tere-sa’s quote: “Do no great things,only small things with greatlove.”
Kayes says while she hasseen other stories about otherholiday meals, she thinks whatthe DeMasis do is unique.
“Usually, you see storiesabout churches or ministriesdoing meals like this,” she said.“This is a couple. It really isamazing.”
NCH volunteer makes adifference incommunity’s schools
North College Hill Elemen-tarywouldnotbethesamewith-out the help of one particularparentwhohasconsistentlyvol-unteered her time and efforts,accordingtoColinThornton.He
says Tricia Evanson and her de-termination improve the schoolshould be recognized by thecommunity.
Evanson teaches charactereducation in six classrooms ev-ery week.
“The teachers loved her les-sons so much that they encour-aged the character committeeto have her write the charactercurriculum for all the volun-teers,” Thornton said. “We’vebeen using her lesson plans thisyear, and they have been verypopular with both the studentsand the teachers.”
This year, Evanson spear-headed an idea to have the stu-dents raise money for KIVA, amicro-lending institutionwhichgives small loans to third worldentrepreneurs.
“The students collectively
donated $83 to give to an Arme-nianprimary teacherwhoneed-ed money for her school,”Thornton said. “When the loanis repaid, we will loan it to an-other deserving candidate.”
Evanson is quick to volun-teer for the behind-the sceneswork, as well, and can also befound volunteering her time inthe office to make photocopies,collate papers, and help withanything that needs to be done.
While she does a lot of workbehind the scenes, whe hasstepsupwhentheneed is forup-front leadership. Thornton saysEvansonhasbeena leader in theschool’s PTA program; she iscurrently vice president andpreviously served as president.
Whatever she does, studentsare the beneficiaries.
“One of her duties in the past
few years has been to run thebook fair, but she made surethat the money was used for avery good cause giving a freebook to every student at the endof the school year,” he said.
Dave Hasler is aneighbor to be coveted
Ruth Hutchins says her Fin-neytown neighbor Dave Hasleris nothing short of a preciousgem.
“He’s a diamond in plati-num,” she said. “Everyone onour street and some neighbor-

The funeral home posted thismessage on its Facebook pagethis morning: “Sometimes,something happens that re-stores your faith in humanity.This morning, our stolen BabyJesus, the original one made byPaul Young, Sr., was returned.Maybe the real Jesus got tothem.”
The funeral home received acall early in the morning fromoneof its flowerdeliverypeople,saying there was a doll outsidetheflowerdoor in therain.Whenworkers investigated, theyfound the missing baby Jesusfigure.
Paul R. Young Sr. died inMarch. His grandson, Paul R.YoungIII, said thefamily isverypleased to have the figure back.
It is undamaged and is alreadyback on display in the manger.
In its first year, 1948, the dis-play consisted of the VirginMa-ry and the Christ child. In lateryears, the Young family addedJoseph, three kings, a shepherd,two children, an angel andstuffedanimals.Livestockeven-tually replaced the stuffed ani-mals and the traditionofvisitingthe nativity scene during theChristmas season was estab-lished.
Paul R. Young III, who is theCEO of Paul R. Young FuneralHomes, said the family hadhopes the baby Jesus wouldeventually be returned.
“Its value is more sentimen-tal, especially with my grandfa-ther dying this year,” he said. “It
was something he wanted tokeep. He would be pleased tohave it back.”
RogerDietrich, a lifelongvis-itor to the nativity scene, saidhe’s grateful that whoever tookthe figureofbabyJesusbroughtit back.
“To whoever took it, thankyou for bringing it back,” hesaid. “I was probably 4 the firsttime I saw the nativity and Iwent every year with by olderbrotherandsistergrowinguponChristmas Eve. When we gothome my mom would say ‘youjust missed Santa’ and all ourpresents would be there.
“Now my son has a little girland we can take her to see it. Itwas always part of my life, andalways will be.”

everymorningbecause ofDave.”
Hutchins says if thereisaplumbing,garden, car,et cetera problem, Hasleris there with knowledgeand the right tool.
“In fact, hehas the tool,screw, nail, and time to fixalmost everything,” shesaid. “He especially likesto cut down trees for thechallenge of seeingwherethey land but also just tohelp us.”
On garbage day, Has-ler follows the Rumpkeemployee and helps emp-ty every can and then re-turns the cans to our ga-rages.
She says Hasler hasbeen instrumental incleaning up the old Fin-neytown cemetery onWinton Road and super-vising construction atWhitaker ElementarySchool.
“We are all lucky tohave Dave as our neigh-bor not only for his helpbut also his contagiouscheerful demeanor whenyou are having a badday,”she said. “I call him ‘911’Dave for when he helpedcarry me out of our back-yard when I broke my an-
ing streets who subscribeto the Enquirer have theirpapers at their doorsteps
kle.”Hutchins says Dave
has a patient and under-standing wife, Elizabeth,who has to some timeswalk the neighborhoodlooking for her husband.
“Sometimes she is notable to park her car in thegarage because of hismany tools or the latestproject he is working on,”Hutchins said. “We areblessed to have them asneighbors.”
Shirley Love lives upto her name
Cathy Zimmerly saysher Finneytown neighborShirley Love lives up toher name.
“Each week, Shirleymakes it her mission totake her popular dog,“Rev” (short for Reveillie– the Texas A&M mascotdog), around the neigh-borhood andgather up ev-eryone’s trash and recy-cling bins,” Zimmerlysaid. “When I havethanked her for this, shejust shrugs and says it isher way to help. She hasalso been known to carryneighbor’s newspapers totheir front door from thebottoms of driveways, es-pecially on rainy morn-ings.”
Zimmerly says Lovehas to be the friendliestwoman she knows.
“Everyone in theneighborhood, and even abit beyond, knows Shir-ley,” Zimmerly said. “Shewaves hello to everyoneand smiles all the time.She makes it a point tostop and talk and check inwith you to see how youare doing. She never com-plains or talks about her-self, but she is the first toorganize neighbors tohelp someone in need.”
Love is also involved inthe Cincinnati RotaryClub and has singlehand-edly organized Christmasparties at elementaryschools in areas of need.
“I am sure that anyonewho has encounteredShirleywould agree she isjust a ray of sunshine,”Zimmerly said.
Zimmerly saidLove in-tentionallymoved back tothe neighborhood shegrew up in and is very in-terested in the Finney-town schools. She asksabout student perfor-mancesand tries toattendmany school events eventhough she has no chil-dren in the system.
Love knows no strang-er and everyone is afriend, her neighbor said.
Even the four-leggedones.
“Shirley is out walkingevery day with her dogRev but also often bringsa canine friend or two ofhers “just because” she ishelping a neighbor whomight be out of town or istoo sick to care for his orher dog,” Zimmerly said.
“Every neighborhoodshould be as lucky as weare tohave theirownShir-ley.”
JimMiller is themusic man inGreenhills
Greenhills celebrated16 years of Concert on theGreen this year, and theseries goes forward be-cause of the work of vol-unteer JimMiller.
Miller, 78, was on thecommunity developmentcommittee when the firstconcert was organizedback in 1997.
“Wewere only going todo it one year,” he said.“Thiswas even before thegazebo was built.”
The concerts grew andbecame a staple. AndMil-ler has been the drivingforce.
Former mayor FredMurrell says people likeMillermake communitiesinto places you want tolive.
“It’s a lot of work, buthe is there year in, yearout,making ithappen, andmakingGreenhills a nicerplace to live,” Murrellsaid. “It is activities likethis that make peoplewant to be part of ourcommunity.”
Organizing Concert onthe Green is no small job.The series featured 10concerts during the pastsummer, each one spon-sored.
There are also individ-ual contributors who helpoffset the cost of theevents. Miller gets thecontributions and spon-sorship. He’s got the jobdown to a science, raising$50 more than he neededin sponsorships for the2013 season.
In addition to chasingdown sponsorships, Mil-ler books the bands thatperform. He coordinatesthe calendar, and makessure every thing goes offwithoutahitch. It’s a laborof love, and it’s easy to seethat he enjoys bringingmusic to summer nightson the Greenhills Com-mons.
Even after he movedinto Springfield Town-
ship, he continued fillingthe summer with musicfor his real home.
“Imoved, butmy heartbelongs to Greenhills,” hesaid.
Neighbors makeForest Parkneighborhoodspecial

“When they say weneeded help, they came toour aid,” she said.
Dorothy Haas saysCarolyn McRae and herfriend Angel trimmed thecouple’s bushes, spadedup the flower beds, andbrings the morning paperright to their garage door,which she says is helpfulsince they have a verysteep drive.
“When I had an acci-dent, she contacted myson, went in and got mypurse, and locked up thehouse when they took meto the hospital,” Dorothysaid. “Then she folllowedthe ambulance after myaccident and stayed withusuntil sheknewwehadaway to get home.”
One neighbor wholooks out for you is a gift;theHaashouseseemssur-rounded by good neigh-bors.
“Jimmy and RobertFerguson have been sohelpful takingoutourgar-bage cans and puttingthem back the next day,”Dorothy said. “And Den-nis Johnson came overwith his riding lawnmow-er when we needed helpgetting our lawn mowedwhen the regular personwas on vacation.

CINCINNATI — Accoladesand hype don’t mean much toXavier University sophomoreand 2011 Winton Woods HighSchool graduate Semaj Chris-ton.
Entering his sophomoreseason at XU, Christon – whowas one of the area’s top bas-ketball recruits coming out ofhighschool –wasnamedto justabout every preseason awardswatch list imaginable, includ-ing the Top 50 list for the JohnR. Wooden Award Watch ListandtheNaismithAwardWatchList, which are two of the na-tion’s most prestigious presea-son honors.
While earning the likes ofpreseason Big East First Teamhonors and Bob Cousy AwardWatchListhonorsaswell, noneof that means much to the for-mer Winton Woods Warrior ifhe doesn’t do what he’s sup-posed do on the court.
“I don’t really pay attentionto it,” Christon said. “Peopletellmeabout (thehonors) and Ikindof look into it andseewhatit is and just keep it moving. Ijust keepworking hard and if Idowhat I need to do, it will payoff at the end of the day.”
So far it looks as thoughChriston’s hard work is payingoff.Hecontinues to leadthe9-3Musketeers (through Dec. 26)in scoring at 14.9 points pergameandhasrackedupdoubledigitsscoringin29ofhis last32games.
“Just staying aggressive,staying in attackmodeand try-ing to get to the free-throwline,” theguardsaidofhisscor-ing success. “I’m confidentnow going to the line and mycoaches have faith in me tomakeplaysandthat’sreally it.”
Confidence is key forChris-
ton.Despiteall thehypebehindhim coming out of high school,itwasn’t until hewent toBrew-ster Academy in New Hamp-shire for a season of post-grad-uation school where he devel-oped the confidence that hecould succeed at the Division Ilevel. Playing with MitchMcGary (University of Michi-gan), Aaron Thomas (Withrowgraduate,FloridaStateUniver-sity), T.J. Warren (North Caro-lina State) and current Xavierteammate Jalen Reynoldsmade basketball fun again andgave him the confidence toknow he can play with the toptalent in the country.
“That was crazy,” he said ofhis time at Brewster. “Thatgave me a lot of confidencecoming in toXavier.…Basket-ball was just fun and we justwent out andhad fun.Anybody
Semaj Christon brings the ball up the court for Xavier University.The 2011Winton Woods graduate leads the Musketeers in scoring at14.9 points per game and has scored in double digits in 29 of his last32 games. THANKS TO BOB STEVENS AND XAVIER UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS

Cincinnati a best place to retireWhen choosing where to
retire, today’s older adultsconsider the best communi-ties where they can stay ac-tive, healthy, engaged andinspired. Cincinnati’s highlyranked hospitals, affordably-priced housing, and a vastcollection of parks and cultur-al amenities topped the list ofreasons to retire here.
Here at Llanfair Retire-ment Community, we agree-Cincinnati is a great place toretire.
Today’s baby boomers
make up thelargest por-tion of the U.S.population.They are de-laying theirretirementand choosingto work longerthan any gen-eration beforethem. For the
next decade, however, theirlifestyle habits will continueto impact communities, par-ticularly as they redefine the
traditional ideas of what re-tirement means. It’s not bingoand bridge, but learning andexperiencing new things.
Llanfair is ready for thatnew look at retirement. It’s inour culture already.
As a Masterpiece Livingcommunity, we use the 10-year research study done bythe MacArthur Foundationand the Mayo Clinic to helpour residents choose a life-style that helps them age suc-cessfully. That researchshowed that aging has more to
do with our lifestyle choicesthan our genetics. So, the deci-sions we make on a day-to-daybasis affect our overall health.
At Llanfair, we believe inthis so strongly that we ac-tively engage and challengeourselves and residents spiri-tually, intellectually, physical-ly and socially every day.Locally, we partner with theFlying Pig Marathon, the Con-temporary Dance Theater andthe College Hill RecreationCenter. We educate ourselveson the world around us
through documentaries, week-ly educational programs andin-depth training on healthissues.
According to Livability-.com, the reason Cincinnatiwas the No. 1 ranked city wasbecause, “Residents rarelyrun out of things to do in Cin-cinnati.” Funny, our residentssay the same thing.

St. Vincent de Paul volun-teers visit the homes of neigh-bors in need and experiencethe heart-wrenching effects ofpoverty first hand. When afamily slips into distress, thepain is almost tangible.
A mother who lives in aWestside neighborhood, worndown by worry because herutility bill is late and her chil-dren are sleeping on the coldfloor. An adult man on thebrink of tears because his chil-dren have nothing to eat fordinner in their small city
apartment. Anelderly couple,living in anEastside sub-urb, forced todecide be-tween losingtheir home andforegoing theirlife-savingprescriptionmedications.
Our communities have ex-perienced a lot of changes thisyear: food stamp cuts, healthcare changes, and an economy
that seems to be turningaround for some, but has leftmany families behind. We seethe direct effects of thesechanges first hand each day,the most devastating being theimpact on children.
Every day, our volunteersvisit the homes of parents whowork multiple part-time jobsso they can keep food on thetable, or who have sold the lastof their possessions so thatthey can keep the lights on.
When our volunteers deliv-er gifts to the homes of neigh-
bors in need, they are blessedto witness what one act ofkindness can mean to a strug-gling family. A child gigglingwith joy as they bounce ontheir new bed, a mother withtears streaming down her faceas her children’s Christmasgifts are carried into her home,a family gathered together onChristmas morning with hopefor a brighter new year.
You can inspire hope andmake love grow in the heartsof a family in need by:
» Supporting “Food From
the Heart” the next time youvisit a local Kroger by Jan. 4.Ask your child to pick out theirfavorite non-perishable foodand place it in the barrel at thedoor.
»Making a donation in hon-or of a loved one.
» Visit www.SVDPcincinna-ti.org or call 513-421-HOPE tomake a donation or lean more.

If summoned for jury duty,you are assigned either to aregular jury or a grand jury.
On regular (also called “pet-it”) jury duty you could beselected for a criminal or civilcase. In a grand jury, however,a group of citizens hears onlycriminal cases and decides ifsomeone will have to face trialfor a felony offense. A felony isa crime that is punishable by atleast one year in prison.
In Hamilton County, thegrand jurymeets in the prose-cutor’s office, not at the court-house. The grand jury listens totestimony and examines evi-dence presented only by theprosecution before decidingwhether to return an indict-ment. An indictment is merelya formal charge; it still must beproven beyond a reasonabledoubt at trial before a defen-
dant can beconvicted.
When theprosecutorpresents acase, only thetestifying wit-ness and thegrand jurorsare in theroom. Afterthe last witnesstestifies, the
prosecutor and witness exit theroom so the jurors can deliber-ate and vote. Defendants mayrequest to testify, but rarely doso.
Nine grand jurors vote oneach case and each charge.Before voting to indict, thegrand jurors must find prob-able cause that: 1, a crime wascommitted, and 2, that the ac-cused committed the crime. At
least seven of the nine grandjurors must agree that there issufficient evidence to return anindictment.
A common phrase suggeststhat a prosecutor can convincea grand jury to indict a “hamsandwich” because of the proc-ess’s one-sided nature. My priorexperience as a prosecutormakes me disagree. Although afew prosecutors may abuse thesystem, most prosecutors haveno interest in purposely in-dicting cases that would behard to try.
Moreover, I have observedthat grand jurors, like regularjurors, are independent, seriousabout their duties, and not easi-ly persuaded to indict an obvi-ously weak case.
A unique and importantaspect of grand jury service isthe oath of secrecy. The oath of
secrecy covers the entire grandjury proceeding and is perma-nent. A regular juror may dis-cuss a case publicly after averdict is announced in opencourt, but a grand juror mustkeep the proceedings secretforever unless ordered other-wise by a judge.
Both grand jury and regularjury service last for two weeksin Hamilton County. If selectedfor grand jury, you will hearapproximately 50 cases eachweek. In comparison, mostregular jurors sit on only one ortwo cases at most. Perhaps itsunique process makes mostpeople who have served on bothregular and grand juries prefergrand jury service.

JANUARY 1, 2014 • HILLTOP PRESS • B3LIFE
At the start of eachnew year with you, I liketo talk about food trends.Locally sourced con-tinues to be a big factor,along with homemade
biscuitsinstead ofbuns andbread forsand-wiches.Anothertrend ishealthierkids meals:yogurt,applesauceand baked
fries for fried.Gluten-free (no sur-
prise) items will be abun-dant in restaurants and atthe grocery.
Chefs will use nuts ascoating for poultry andfish instead of flour.
Veggies galore, espe-cially cauliflower, will becooked simply or withflavorful herbs andspices as mains andsides.
Heirloom beans andpeanuts are “in” and areeasily grown. Peanutshide under the groundand kids love to harvestthese.
Rice is big this year.You’ll see a dizzyingvariety, from instant tobrown to the new darlingof the food world: Caroli-na Gold. This is thegrandfather of long-grainrice here and, dependingupon the way it’s cooked,can be made into fluffyrice or creamy risotto.
Tea is here to stay. Getout mom’s tea set andenjoy a relaxing andhealthy cup of tea. Teacontains polyphenols,antioxidants that aregood for our heart, teeth,eyes and general goodhealth.
As far as wild edibles,I’m right on top of it. I’vemade pine needle tea(high in vitamins A andC) for years and now it’shit the big time. It has aminty, piney flavor. Lookfor ground pine needletea at health food stores.
Ditto for sumac lem-onade. We have sumactrees (not the poisonsumac!) growing alongour old country road andin late August they bear abeautiful, cone-shapedred fruit perfect for tart,healthy lemonade. Acaution here: Alwaysmake a positive identifi-cation when picking wildedibles. There are manynon-edible look-a-likesout there.
Rita’s vegetarian redbeans and rice
My twist on Hoppin’John, the traditional New
Year’s dish. Rice andbeans together make aprotein-filled dish. Addsautéed shrimp or chick-en for a non-vegetarianmeal. Use your favoritebeans.
1 very generous cupchopped onion
2-3 teaspoons garlic, minced2 teaspoons cumin or totaste
2 bay leaves1 teaspoon chili powderblend or to taste
2 cups rice2 cans red beans, drained4 cups vegetable or chickenbroth, or bit more ifneeded
Salt and pepper to taste
To stir in after cook-ing: Favorite greens (Ifusing kale, add when youput rice in as it takeslonger to cook).
Garnish: Thinly slicedgreen onions, choppedtomatoes
Film pan with olive oil.Add onion, garlic, cumin,bay and chili powder.Sauté until onion looksalmost clear. Add rice,beans and broth. Bring toboil. Cover and lower to asimmer and cook untilrice is tender. Removebay leaves.
Health aspectsBeans: Lower choles-
terol, stabilize bloodsugar and reduce risk ofcancer and heart disease.
Onions and garlic:Great for your heart.
Tomatoes: Containsantioxidants and is goodfor the prostate.
Brown rice vs. white:Nutritionally superior,your body absorbs nutri-ents from brown ricemore slowly.
Bay: Helps blood sug-ar levels.
Easy Southern“light” biscuits
Try a Southern flourlike White Lily, which hasa lower gluten/proteincontent than Northernflours and produces alighter textured biscuit.
2 cups self-rising flour1⁄4 cup shortening2⁄3 to 3⁄4 cup buttermilkMelted butter
Preheat oven to 475degrees. Spray bakingsheet. Spoon flour intomeasuring cup and leveloff. Cut in shorteninguntil mixture resemblescoarse crumbs. With afork, blend in enoughmilk until dough leavessides of bowl. Knead acouple times on lightlyfloured surface and roll1⁄2 inch thick, cutting withbiscuit cutter or glass.Place on baking sheet,one inch apart. Bake 8-10minutes or until golden.
Brush with melted but-ter.

Thieves have figuredout a new way to stealyour money and itdoesn’t involve sendingyou bad checks.
Once again they preyon people who can leastafford to lose money:those seeking a loan.
Krystal, I’ll just useher first name, wroteabout her mother’s needfor a loan while out ofwork following surgery.She turned to the In-ternet and found lots ofwebsites offering loans.After applying at one ofthem, she received a callsaying she was approvedfor the $2,000 she was
requesting.But
first, shewas told,she had toprove shecould cov-er her firstloan pay-ment. Shetold thelender she
wouldn’t send himmoneybefore getting the funds.
“He answered, ‘No, ofcourse not. We just needto verify you’ll be able tomake the payment,’”Krystal wrote.
Krystal says she wasinstructed to go a local
drug store, get a VanillaCard and load it with $150so they could verify thefunds.
“He then had mymother give him theinformation off the cardso he could verify thefunds. He told her every-thing was great and thathe needed to place her onhold so he could go aheadand finalize the trans-action. He came back onthe line and said that, dueto her credit, would shebe able to verify a secondmonth’s payment foranother $150 on the Vanil-la Card? She told him,‘No,’” Krystal wrote.
At this point Krystalsays she and her motherwere suspicious, beganresearching the card anddiscovered the so-calledlender was buying timeso he could pull the fundsoff the Vanilla ReloadCard. By the time theybegan trying to downloadthe funds from the cardthemselves, the “lender”
had already taken all themoney.
They called the localpolice who had themcontact the Vanilla Net-work to see if they couldlearn where the moneyfrom the card was re-leased. She was told ithad been placed into theaccount of a pre-paiddebit card so the moneycould now be taken andused anywhere without atrace.
“All said and done thisscam has me out of pock-et over $170,” Krystalwrote.
She’s not alone, I re-ceived a letter from aHarrison area man whoalso applied for an onlineloan and was sent to thestore to buy a Green DotMoney Pack. He loaded$375 on the card anddidn’t realize it was ascam until they got an-other $282 from him.
The Federal TradeCommission says legiti-mate lenders never“guarantee” or sayyou’re likely to get a loanor a credit card evenbefore you apply – espe-cially if you have badcredit, no credit or abankruptcy.
Bottom line, beware ofthese newmethods usedto steal your money. Re-member, online lendingoffers are often justscams and a quick way tolose your money.
