Managing Summit Park and Towne SquareWith a new venue, the city of

Blue Ash is working throughhow to divide events betweenTowne Square and SummitPark.

“A lot of programming for2015 is still being set. We arestill exploring that vision,”BlueAsh Recreation SupervisiorBrian Kruse said.

Kruse said that with the 2015budget also not finalized it ishard to know what new eventscould be brought into SummitPark, butnomorewill bemovedfrom the square to the park.

“The only thing we plannedto move was the Taste (of BlueAsh). The park has always beenfor additional programming,”he said.

TheVeteransDayceremony,Memorial Day celebration andtheBlueAshMontgomerySym-phony Orchestra concerts willcontinue to be in the TowneSquareanddowntownarea.TheThursday and Friday afternoonconcerts will also remain in thesquare.

“Those have done reallygood down there,” Kruse said.

Kruse said the city receivedrequests for the Taste to bemoved to Summit Park becauseit is a larger and more openarea.

“Yougo from four acreswitha small stage and not a lot ofmoveable parts to about 20acres with lots of moveableparts,” Kruse said.

Kruse said Red, White andBlue Ash has been movingaround for years, but the citystarting having it near SummitPark to get residents and thecityused tohaving it in thatpartof town.Theevent tookplace in-side the open parts of the parkthis year.

Blue Ash Police Lt. SteveSchueler said he starting work-ing on traffic plans for largeevents in Summit Park in 2010.

Kruse said Summit Park isbetter for larger concerts be-cause thegreat lawnisdesignedto be an “outdoor living room.”

“I’m not sure we would have

anything bigger than theFourth. I’mnot sure in the infra-structure could handle that,”Kruse said.

Schueler said about 100,000people attended the Fourth ofJuly, but law enforcement hadlittle issue.

Kruse said the city havingSummit Park as a new venuehas created an opportunity formore efficient and higher qual-ity events.

“Wewill have to bring in lessthings for support,” Kruse said.

Leaders of Princeton’selementary schools havegathered information onthe past year’s strengthsand concerns, with a pres-entation to the SchoolBoard as they prepare tostart another academicyear.

Principals and otherschool representativespresented their data to the

board during the Aug. 11meeting, describing theirchallenges and buildingplans, as they align withthe board’s goals.

Concernsamong theel-ementary schools includ-ed transition from schoolswithin the district, as wellas reading, writing andcomputer skills.

To meet these needs,the schools will coordi-nate efforts for consistentinstruction in the areas ofconcern, as well as math.

“This helps when stu-dents move from buildingto building,” according toassociate SuperintendentEd Theroux.

The schools will workto increase rigor in read-ing, to improve studentachievement, Therouxsaid. “There is ongoingprofessional developmentto teachers on this.

“There are plans tomonitor the implementa-tion of the strategies to in-crease rigor.”

To prepare for assess-ments, students will re-

ceive instruction on com-puter skills in core class-es, Theroux said. Thiswillbe accomplished in partthrough the academiccomputer programs TenMarks and Study Island,“thatwillbuild technologyskills as well as align toCommonCoreandPARCCAssessments,” he said.

PARCCAssessment re-fers to thePartnership forAssessment of Readinessfor College and Careers, amulti-stateeffort todevel-op common assessmentsin English and math,geared towardcollegeandcareer readiness.

The annual gatheringof Princeton administra-tors also outlined studentand school strengths, in-cluding the ongoing col-laborationandprofession-al development, Therouxsaid.

He said this builds con-sistency, alignment, prob-lem solving, leadership,defining of common lan-guage and expectations,setting of high expecta-

tions, goal setting withstudents, goal settingwithadults, ongoing monitor-ing at the student level,grade level, building leveland district level to deter-mine strengths and needswhile adjusting instruc-tion to increase studentachievement,andcommu-nicating more effectivelywith everyone involved inthe education of a child inthe Princeton school dis-trict.

The secondary team ofprincipals and staff willpresent their data at theschool board’s Sept. 18meeting.

SYCAMORETWP.—Asecond-place district finish last fallearned coach Keith Bracken-ridge’s Sycamore High Schoolgirls golf team an invite to theDivision I state tournament inColumbus.

The Lady Aves finishedeight at Ohio State’s GrayCourse, behind only St. Ursulaand Mason in the Cincinnatiarea. While three seniors fromthat squad have moved on, thisyear’s squad features juniorsKellen Alsip, Maya Outlaw andseniorHannahBrown as veter-an’s of the state experience.

After the recentGreaterMi-ami Conference tournament,the Lady Aves moved to thesectionals at Hamilton Elkswith an eye on returning toWeatherwax inMiddletown forthe district championshipsOct.9.

“We had a lot of kids playwell,” Brackenridge said.

AlsiphasbeentheconsistentNo. 1 this season. Her game issteady and unfazed, which wasapparent in her first-place fin-ish at the GMC tourney withrounds of 75 and 76.

“She’s best at everythingwhen you get down to it,”Brackenridge said. “There’snothing you would say thatstands out. She’s not the longestdriver or straightest driver,she’s good at all of the above.You need to be calm and steadyin golf and she’s good at that.”

Alsip has the scores to playat the next level, but hasn’t pro-fessed a particular interest inany schools to date.

Junior Outlaw and seniorBrown are the No. 2 and No. 3players, respectively. Brownwas fourth at the GMC tourna-ment (81-77) 158. Behind the

Move over, Wolf pack. Cin-cinnatihasanewfirstfamilyoftennis.

TheWolfs – fromMarty andJeff back in the day to currentCincinnati Country Day starsDanielle and J.J. – are the fam-ilymost Greater Cincinnatiansthink ofwhen talking about thelocal tennis scene.

Asdominantasthey’vebeenlocally, the Wolfs haven’t yetmade the kind of national im-pact enjoyed by the McNallysof Madeira. Lynn Nabors-McNallyplayedon thepro tourafter graduating from North-westernUniversity and beforebecoming a busy local coach.

Her and John McNally Sr.’stwo children might be on theirway to even greater heights.JohnMcNally Jr. won’t turn 16until October, but he’s the U.S.Tennis Association’s top-ranked player in the Boys 16(and under) category – his sec-ondNo.1ranking.Heprevious-ly topped the Boys 14 rankings

His sister, 12-year-old Caty,is ranked second by the USTAin the Girls 14 age group afterpreviously being No. 1 in theGirls 12.

“There are so many peoplein the United States that being

abletosayyou’rethebest inthecountry is pretty cool,” saidJohn Jr., a Madeira HighSchool sophomore.

Their success has created abuzz, fromYouTubevideos– in-cluding one of John helpingRogerFedererwarmupbeforeFederer’s Western & SouthernOpen quarterfinal against An-dyMurray in August – to mak-ing Sports Illustrated’s “Facesin the Crowd” page.

“That’s a terrible picture,”said Caty, a Madeira MiddleSchool seventh-grade student,visibly grimacing after glanc-ing at her magazine head shot.

Theywere picked by SportsIllustrated after completing arare sweep this summer. Johndropped just one set in sevenmatcheswhilewinning theUS-TABoys16NationalHardcourtChampionship singles title inKalamazoo, Michigan. He andGianni Ross of Burr Ridge, Ill.,captured the doubles title.

Meanwhile, Caty was win-ningall sevenofhermatches instraight sets while capturingthe Girls 14 version of thechampionship in PeachtreeCity, Ga. She completed thesweep by teaming with NicoleConrad of Boca Raton, Fla., towin the doubles crown.

OCTOBER 1, 2014 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • A7SPORTS & RECREATION

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 to dis-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 their eyes.Theydon’talwayswin, but they rare-ly fade away.

Seniors Adam Garba-cik, ChrisGlaser andAlexGruber along with juniorAidan Brown round outthe squad. All could likely

start at numerous areaschools.

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

An example came at arecentmatch inClevelandwhere Sattler shot an un-customary 83, his highestscore of the season. Notsurprisingly, the otherCrusaders picked him up.

Another luxuryofplay-ing atMoeller is playing acourse like Canterbury inCleveland or Scioto in Co-lumbus. Of course, the ul-timate goal is anotherdrive up Interstate 71 tobe 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 his work. A re-ligion teacher, he’s able totap into other aspects of aMoeller golfer’s game.Unlike a public schoolevent, a GCL outing be-ginswith aprayerwithoutany legal dissension.

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

The Division I section-als run Sept. 29-Oct. 4 atMiami Whitewater, Glen-view, Beavercreek andSpringfield.

TONY TRIBBLE FOR THE ENQUIRER

Sycamore running back Clarence Dawson (20) celebrateswith a teamate after a touchdown, during their footballgame against Oak Hills, Saturday, Sept. 27,2014.

BRANDON SEVERN FOR THE

ENQUIRER

Blake Sheffer of CHCA keepsan eye on the ball all theway in. The battle of theunbeatens went down atSummit Country Day as theycelebrated homecoming fora packed crowd.

John Sr., a financial ad-viser with a NewYork lifeinsurance company,played basketball and rantrack and cross country atMoeller. John Jr. and Caty–who play out of The Clubat Harper’s Point, whereLynn is on the pro staff –also have played multiplesports. John Jr. playedbaseball and basketballand Caty played basket-ball, but both decided togive the other sports up infavor of focusing on ten-nis.

Their decisions haveconsequences, most relat-ed to the travel that hasthem out of town on manyweekends.

“It’s hard,” said the 5-foot-8 Caty, a right-handerwho is scheduled to nextplay in a national tourna-ment inMaryland in a cou-ple of weeks. “Sometimes,you just want to hang outwith your friends. I like tohave sleepovers some-

times. I like to hang out.”The lifestyle also has

benefits beyond hittingwith Federer and seeingnew places, pointed outJohn Jr., who suffered afirst-round, late-August,straight-set loss to an 18-year-old German at theU.S. Open junior tourna-ment in NewYork.

“Itdoes takeawayfromyour average high schoolweekend, but you makefriends along the way,”said the 5-foot-11 right-hander, who had to skip aweekend trip to Mexicobecause of an elbow prob-lem. “Gianni is like abrother to me.”

Caty and John Jr. bothare accomplished enoughto have picked up sponsor-ship deals. Wilson pro-vides racquets for both,while Nike outfits Johnwith Caty going with Adi-das, but neither of themhave given much thoughtto thenextsteps.Turnpro?College first?Who knows?There’s still time for thosedecisions.

“We’re still prettyyoung,” John reminded.

colors.“We’ve got contribu-

tions fromsophomoreOr-chid Wang and SophieKramer, a transfer whowas on Mount NotreDame’s varsity her fresh-man year,” Brackenridgesaid. “She had to sit out aperiod due to the trans-fer.”

Brackenridge still en-joys the competition andstill transportshisteamina school van. Along theway,both teacherandstu-dents receive and educa-tion. Some of it involvesgolf, some philosophy.

“We do talk about thecourse beforehand,”Brackenridge said.“Then, we talk about any-

thing but golf. I actuallyencourage themtodo thatduring rounds.”

What sounds greatpsychologically, comesfrom Sycamore’s mathdepartment chair. Whennot examining and cri-tiquing swing planes,Brackenridge teaches

multi-variable calculusand geometry acceler-ated.

While he has yet to de-velop the Brackenridgeformula for birdies, hisprowess with numberscomes in handy.

“The tournament di-

rectors want the girls toturn in their scores at thehalfway point, but someof the girls don’t want toknow,” Brackenridgesaid. “I kind of encouragethat behavior. I think youshould concentrate onyour next shot.What theydo is hand it to me and Iadd it up in my head andturn it in.”

Should the Lady Avesadvance from Hamiltonto Weatherwax and be-yond, they will have bat-tled some formidablefoes.

“Obviously Mason’svery good; St. Ursula’svery good; Ursuline’s agood team; and Center-ville and Springboro aregood out of Dayton,”Brackenridge said.“There’s going to be a lotof competition to get tostate.”

Educating about climatechange

United Nation’s Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon invitedleaders from heads of statefrom 120 countries, and fi-nance, business and civil soci-ety to theClimateSummit2014.

In his opening statement hedeclared that we never faced achallenge as great, but thischallenge presents an opportu-nity.Heaskedgovernments“tocommit to a meaningful, uni-versal climate agreement inParis in 2015, and to do theirfair share to limit global tem-perature rise to less than 2 de-grees Celsius.”

The summit comes on theheelsofareportby theUN’s In-tergovernmental Panel on Cli-mate Change that says theworld is dangerously close tono longer being able to limitglobal warming to 2 degreesCelsius over pre-industrialtimes.AccordingtoMichelJar-raud of theWorldMeteorologi-cal Organization, “Carbon di-oxide levels increased morebetween 2012 and 2013 thanduring any other year since re-liable global records have beenkept.”

Here in Cincinnati it is hardto comprehend that 2013 wasthe fourth warmest year onrecord for global climate andMarch through May 2014 wasthe second warmest globallysince recording keeping beganin1880. The unusual polar shiftresulted in one of the coldestwinters here illustrating howeasy it is to confuse our weath-er and global climate.

Local organizations likeGreen Umbrella, the Cincin-nati Division of Environmentand Sustainability, the GreaterCincinnatiEnergyAllianceandothers are working towardscreatingmeans througheduca-tion and/or incentives to switchfrom fossil fuels to renewablesto reduce carbon emissions.

LETTERS TO THEEDITOR

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 cancelsout any gains made from re-placing CO2 emissions fromcoal.

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 theU.S., with about $500 billionannually, accounts for morethan one-fourth of all globalfossil fuel subsidies. The bigfive oil companies earned a

combined$120 billion inprofits in2012, whileenjoying spe-cial loopholes,like “masterlimited part-nership”rules, allow-ing them toescape large

amounts of corporate incometaxes.

Wenstrup worries that re-ducing fossil fuel subsidieswill have serious economicconsequences, but global in-surance trade associations arerecognizing the economicconsequences of uncheckedfossil fuel emissions. Theirdata show that nine of theworld’s top 10 most expensiveloss events of 2012 occurred inthe US, and globally, the num-ber of weather catastrophes

has risen from 300 a year in1980 to 900 in 2012.

Our legislators must alsofactor in external costs likethe risks and harms that oiland gas drilling brings to com-munities – the water, air andclimate pollution, as well asother drivers of economic andpublic health problems. U.S.EPA researchers recentlyfound that ill health caused byfossil fuels nationally coststaxpayers between $361 and$886 billion 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 legisla-tors who will help us seize theopportunity to transition toclean and reliable renewableenergy, not walk away from it,as Mr. Wenstrup has done.Before you vote, ask your

candidates where they standon this issue, and whether theywill pledge to provide opportu-nities for public dialogueamong all constituents. MarekTyszkiewicz, opposingMr.Wenstrup in the District 2race, was formerly a math andphysics teacher, and under-stands both climate scienceand economics. He wants tohelp businesses reduce emis-sions without costing jobs. His24 years as an actuary, helpinggovernment entities fundsecure 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 is-sue.

Ruth Hardy is an 11-year resident ofAnderson Township.

Which candidate will lead oncurbing greenhouse gases?

OUR ELECTIONS LETTERS, COLUMNS POLICY

Sept. 24 questionWill the U.S. eventually have

to send combat troops (“bootson the ground”) to fight ISIS inIraq and Syria?

“I sincerely hope the U.S.does not send in ground troopstodealwith the rapidly escalat-ing ISIS crisis. This group ofradicalIslamistshasraisedter-ror, unspeakable deaths, bru-talityandman’scapacity for in-humanity toward man (and es-pecially women) to a newheight not seen in the worldsince the Nazi regime. We canand should do as much as pos-sible to help eradicate the ISISscourge with drones, airstrikes andmissiles, but that isunlikely to complete the job.The rest of the Arab worldneeds to step up for once and‘police their own’ by puttingtheir boots on their ground tocomplete the elimination of theISIS vermin. Good luck to allinvolved. And hurry up!”

M.J.F.

“Yes, I believe that eventu-ally combat troops will be sentinto Iraq as part of the newwarinitiative to destroy ISIS.

“It makes me angry and sadto think this because I feel likeAmerica doesn’t learn frompast history (Vietnam) or evenour own recent history (Af-ghanistan and Iraq). We havepushed the men and women ofour armed forces to the limit,spent millions of dollars thatwe don’t have, and yet we con-tinue to pour both Americanlives andmoney into an area ofthe world that will never be

brought into a state of respectfor the sanctity of life, libertyand the pursuit of happiness.

“My only wish was that thepoliticians that are makingthese decisions had some skinin the gameas far as their sons,daughters, or family eventual-lybeingtheones tobesentoverto combat ISIS. While somemay have family involved, thevast majority don’t, and theymake their decisions withoutany real consequence to theirown lives.

“Also, I think it is timetoendthe executive power of con-tinuing conflicts like these andforce Congress into a vote ongoing to war. That is what it is.It is called a War on Terror. Assuch it is the duty of Congressto vote on whether Americashould go to war or not. Itshouldn’t matter if it is an elec-tion year and they are afraid ofhow their vote will affect theirchancesof re-election, theyareabdicating their duties andplacingall theresponsibilityonthe Executive office and then

complaining when that branchtakes action since they do notwant to assume their Constitu-tional responsibilities.”

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

“Per formerObamaCabinetmemberLeonPanetta, ‘TheUSshould have kept some troopsin theMiddleEast.’ Obamawasin a rush to get the US out ofIraq and claim another ‘vic-tory.’ I suspect the next presi-dent will have to clean up theMiddle East mess. Granted Istill wonderwhat functions theUN performs. It is interestinghow those Democratic Partypoliticians seeking our votesare now distancing themselvesfrom Obama. Back in 2008 hewas their savior.Hewill exit asthe most incompetent presi-dent since Jimmy Carter. Gofigure!”

He hasn’t been seenfor weeks, but theblack bear roam-ing ClermontCounty and East-ern Hamilton

County earlier this summercaused quite a stir.

Spotted at the end of Juneswimming across the Ohio Riv-er fromKentucky, the bear firstshowedup inClermontCounty’sMiamiTownship.He latermadehis way into Montgomery andMadeira, down to Oakley andwas last sighted near Eastgatein Union Township.

The bear’s presence prompt-edaflurryofcalls to localpoliceand captured the public’s imagi-nation. Union Township evenhad toclosea localparkbecausemany flocked to the area to tryand catch a glimpse.

All the excitement surround-ing the bear got us at The Com-munity Presswondering—whatother crazy wildlife calls haveour local police, fire/EMS ormaintenance departments re-ceived?

The stories we heard run thegamut from amusing, like thepig that trappedmedics inside ahouse, to potentially dangerous,like the hit-and-run accident in-volving a kidnapped deer. Somewere tragic, like the man whowas killed by his pet snake, andothers, like the foot left next to agasstationpump,remainabitofa mystery.

Columbia TownshipIt seemed like a routine re-

sponse—a report of a truck hit-ting a deer near the intersectionof Wooster Pike and NewtownRoad. But when Sheriff’s depu-ty Nick Hoevel arrived at thescene, therewasno truckandnodeer. A short time later, Hoevelgot a call from Mariemont po-lice asking for his help.

When he arrived on scene, atruck matching the descriptionfrom the accident was in thedriveway, andayoungbuckwasin the passenger seat. Hoevelassumed the man just wantedtags for the meat, but that’swhenthe incident tookastrange

turn. As hewalked by the truck,“it lifts itsheadup–thedeerwasstill alive,” Hoevel said.

“The guy told me how its legwas broken and he sat therewith it petting its head becausehe didn’t want it to die alone andscared,” Hoevel said. “He put itin the truck to bring home afterit didn’t die because he wantedto keep it in his backyard andnurse it back to health.”

Hoevel tried to explain thetwo options — letting it go andnature taking its course, oreuthanizing the deer — but theman was hard to convince. “Hewas adamant that he wanted tokeep the deer,” Hoevel said.

The man finally agreed tobringthedeertoasecludedareanear Bass Island so it could beput down, and Hoevel said hethought it would be the end ofthe odd situation. He waswrong.

“As we were headed downWooster Pike from Mariemont,he passes Newtown Road and

started going faster, about 65mph,”Hoevel said. “Iwas think-ing, ‘I can’t get into a pursuitwith thisguywhohasa livedeerinhiscar,’ and thenhepulls overin front of Avoca Park.”

Hoevel ended up shootingthe deer, which he said thenjumped up and started runningaround before finally dying.Themanwas screaming, cryingand calling the deputy names,but even after all that, Hoevelsaid he still asked for his tags.

Mariemont PoliceChiefRickHines also remembers that inci-dent, which happened a coupleyears ago, and laughsabouthowstrange it was. “I guess hethoughthewasgoingto take it tothe veterinarian,” he said. “It’s

justamazing that thedeerdidn’thurt or kill him inside the car. Ifhe would have kept it in the carlong enough, it would haveturned into a really bad situa-tion.”

MariemontMaintenance Superinten-

dent John Scherpenberg hadtwo encounters one day thisApril. First, he received an un-usual call from Bob Flanigan,who works for the MariemontCitySchools, abouta turkeythatran in front of his car on Woos-ter Pike.

Scherpenberg helped corralthe turkey, first spotted in theparking lot near the MariemontExecutive Building, and re-leased it into the South 80 acrespark, a wooded area near theLittle Miami River.

“We believe it might havebeen raised by someone and letgo because it was very friendlyand not afraid of people,” he

said.Later that day, maintenance

employees found a snappingturtle by one of the sheds andwere able to scoop it into a largegarbage can.

“We let it go down by the riv-er oncewegot it to settle down,”Scherpenberg said.

Symmes TownshipOneincidentheretookatrag-

ic turn when a Symmes Town-ship man was killed by his petsnake.

In2006, awomancalled911toreport a13-foot-long python hadwrapped itself around owner’sneck.

When Sheriff’s deputies ar-rived, they found a man face-down in the cage with the snakearound his neck. He had appar-entlyslippedandhithisheadbe-fore the snake moved in. Depu-ties removed the python andLoveland-Symmes medics un-successfully performed CPR.

ThestoryevenattractedAni-mal Planet, which filmed a seg-ment about the incident for itsshow “Fatal Attractions.”

MontgomeryMontgomery Communica-

tions and Engagement Coordi-nator Faith Lynch said the cityhad a hawk living in a tree in aresident’s yard in 2013.

Officials looked into the situ-ation but because the hawk wasa protected species, nothingcould be done, Lynch said. Itlived there until it moved on.

Lynch said the hawk, like allotheranimalcalls, gaveofficersthe opportunity to educate resi-dents on how to safely avoidthem. Hawks are attracted todying or dead trees.

LovelandLoveland Police Chief Tim

Sabranskysaidablackbearwasspotted in the Loveland andSymmes Township area in Sep-tember 2010.

“It stayed in the area for afew days and then left. We didnotrespondtosightingsortrackthe bear,” Sabransky said, add-ing the calls would have beenforwarded to ODNR.

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 strips

2-3 tablespoons whitewine vinegar

1 tablespoon Dijonmustard

1 teaspoon honey orsugar

Salt and pepper totaste

3 sprigs mint, choppedor to taste

1/2 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 a

late 1890s farmhouse,turned me on to this easyfabric 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 can

see her making her ownhand and foot creams. Imade a batch of thisfabric 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 projectfor 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 pointers

Our pumpkins are justnow turning color. Here’ssome tips on purchasing,etc.

Pie pumpkins, alsoknown 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.
