COLLECTION TIME

It’s cold now, but townshipresidents looking ahead tosummer picnics and celebra-tions in the community’s parksshould make their plans andget ready to make their reser-vations.

Park staff will begin proc-essing shelter applicationsfrom township residents only –in person – Monday, March 2,at the Colerain Township Gov-ernment Complex, 4200Springdale Road. Doors openat 7:30 a.m. and reservationswill be taken between 8 a.m.and noon. After March 3, res-ervations can be made nextdoor at the Colerain TownshipPublic Services Building, 4160Springdale Road.

Township residents canrent shelters first and get abetter rate. Shelters are rent-

ed for the day from from 9 a.m.to 7 p.m. and the cost this yearis $135, which is a $45 increasefrom last year’s fee. Registra-tion for nonresidents to rentshelters begins Wednesday,April 1, and the rental fee willbe $225.

All shelter rentals requestsmust be made in person. Therental program will acceptcredit cards, but you will becharged a 3 percent servicefee. This year, people usingshelters will need to buy parkpasses for their vehicles. Thedaily rate will be $5 per car.

The township has 10 shel-ters available for rental. Thereare four at Colerain Park,three shelters at ClippardPark and one shelter at Heri-tage Park. Shelters are avail-able to rent seven days a weekfrom April 15 through Oct. 15.

Colerain Township PublicServices Director Kevin

Schwartzhoff said the town-ship’s vehicle permit program,launched in 2013, continues.Profits from the program goback into the parks and ser-vices budget to help offsetpark maintenance costs.

The park permits are $10each for the year. Daily passesare $5. With the failure of theJoint Economic DevelopmentZone, which would have gener-ated money to help pay for theparks and their upkeep, town-ship officials are looking toother sources of revenue tosupport the operation of town-ship parks, and higher shelterrental fees and heightened en-forcement of the parking per-mit programs are two of theways the township is trying tofill that income gap.

For rental information call385-7503. For informationabout township parks, visit thewebsite at www.colerain.org.

Colerain Twp. opens shelter rentals March 2By Jennie [email protected]

The community got MotherNature’s cold shoulder lastweek, as 4-8 inches of snow bur-ied the area Monday, snarlingcommutes and closing areaschools. Dozens of crashes onarea roadways followed thesnow, and multiple governmentagencies issued snow emergen-cies and warnings.

A Colerain Township man es-caped serious injury Mondaywhen his Chevrolet truck, trav-eling southbound on JonroseAvenue, left the roadway,crashed through a fence andlanded on its side in a creek. Thedriver, whose injuries were se-rious but not life-threatening,was able to call 911, according toColerain Township Fire Capt.Steve Conn. The vehicle was notvisible from the road so emer-gency personnel spotted thetracks in the snow and locatedthe car, which was in knee-deepwater. Firefighters were able tofree the man from the car, placehim on a stretcher and carryhim down the frozen creekabout 25 yards, around thefence along the creek to an am-bulance.

While snow was finishedTuesday, road crews were backon the plows, with schoolsclosed again, and plow drivers

YOU CAN HELPCommunity residents can

make the job of keeping roadsclear and passable easier for salttruck and snow plow drivers:

» » If you can move yourvehicle off the road and intoyour driveway or parking lot, doso. Having fewer vehicles parkedin the road makes it easier tocompletely clear the street. Abonus: the driver doesn’t haveto dodge parked cars on narrowtownship streets as he or shemaneuvers the plow and truck.

» Don’t blow or toss snowfrom sidewalks or drivewaysinto the road.

» Don’t tailgate snow truckson the road.

» Pay attention to local an-nouncement about snow emer-gencies in your community.

FEBRUARY 25, 2015 • NORTHWEST PRESS • A5NEWS

When I woke up this morn-ing, five more inches of snow

had fallen, mak-ing a total of 11inches in 48hours.

It had piledup at the baseof the kitchendoor again so Ihad to literallyshove the dooropen to let my-self out. Thetemperaturegauge read 9

below, so I knew it was a per-fect day for homemade beef

stew: Mary Helen’s classicbeef stew.

Mary Helen was my bestfriend, Carol Spry Vanover’sMom. When we were kids,Carol loved to eat at my housesince there were so many ofus and Mom would serve herLebanese food straight fromthe cast iron pot.

Conversely, I enjoyed go-ing to Carol’s house since thefood was presented elegantlyat the table with cloth napkinsand so much silverware Ididn’t know what fork to pickup when. Carol’s mom was themost gourmet cook around.

Little did I know that one ofher best creations, like thisstew, was quicker and easierthan some of my Mom’s Leba-nese offerings.

Can you help?Gotta get Goetta! Will you

share your favorite goettarecipes for an upcoming col-umn?

Snowy days perfect for beef stew

Rita HeikenfeldRITA’S KITCHEN

Mary Helen’s classic French beef oven stew

Even though I’ve made numerous versions of classic beef stew thatwere delicious, none were as quick as this and really, the taste of thisstew is outstanding.

Here’s the recipe with my adaptations. I used my Le Creuset ena-meled cast iron pot.

Just make sure your pot and lid are ovenproof.

2 pounds beef, cut in 1-1/2-inch cubes (I used a generous 2 poundsand bought stew beef already cut up)

2 medium onions, chopped, about 3 cups1 large clove garlic, minced - my addition which is optional (Mary

Helen did not add garlic)3 ribs celery, cut up4 medium carrots cut crosswise and then lengthwise1-1/4 cups tomato juice (I didn’t have any so used one can beef

broth mixed with 1 generous tablespoon tomato paste)1/3 cup quick/instant cooking tapiocaSalt and pepper to taste1/2 teaspoon dried basil2 medium red potatoes, chunked up (I used 3 Yukon gold)

Preheat oven to 300-325. Pour a thin film of oil in bottom of pot.Put beef in and then everything else except potatoes. Give it a stir.Cover and cook a total of 3-3/12 hours, until meat is tender but remem-ber to add potatoes during last hour of cooking. (I forgot to add pota-toes so cooked them separately and added to stew after it was done.)Good with mashed potatoes, too. If stew is too thick, add a bit of hotwater.

Tip from Rita: Stir some frozen, thawed peas in at the end.To cook in crockpot: 8-12 hours on low, 4-6 on high. Add potatoes

at beginning of cooking time.

Soothing lemon tea

Good for sore throats and colds or anytime you need a pick-me-up. Lemons are anti-viral, anti-bacterial and loaded with vitamin C forimmune system health. Honey is a traditional remedy for sore throats.

Stir together:

Juice of 1 lemon1 cup of very warm waterHoney to taste

Tip: Freeze lemons/limes whole.Just thaw, and you’ll get lots of juice.Indoor plant bonus: Natural humidifiersI over winter some tender herbs near my houseplants. I’ve learned

that indoor plants not only help put oxygen in the air during the day,they help humidify indoor air since plants release moisture throughtheir leaves. Houseplants also emit substances that suppress moldspores and bacteria.

Feb. 18 questionThe Ohio House recently

passed House Bill 7, which prohib-its schools from using test scoresfrom state assessments when de-termining a student’s advance-ment to the next grade level andgranting of course credit. The billalso states that schools are notpermitted to share individual stu-dent test scores to outside sourc-es without consent from eitherthe student or his or her parents.Is this good legislation? Why orwhy not?

“It is outstanding legislation.It strikes at the heart of the cen-tral government control of oureducation in this country. Elim-inating the Federal access to thekinds of information requestedin Common Core testing af-firms that the education of chil-dren belongs in the hands of theparents, who have choice inwhat their children are taught.We used to have what werecalled states rights that deter-mined the education, taxationand local regulation. People of-ten chose to migrate to thosestates that they felt offered thekind of opportunities they want-ed for themselves and theirchildren.’

D.B.

“Is this a good or bad bill? Idon't know, probably. What I doknow is that ever since we haveput so much emphasis on ‘thetest scores’ the overall educa-tion level has decreased. We areforcing our teachers to teach tothe test and ignore actuallyteaching our kids how to learnor even just to have a desire tolearn. All they get now is how tomemorize for the short term. Ifwe ever hope to truly competeon the international stage, wemay need to take a step or twoback to the before-the-test timeof teaching.”

M. J. F.

Feb. 11 questionShould parents have the right

to decide whether to have their

school-age children vaccinated,and if they decide not to, shouldthe children be permitted to at-tend school? Why or why not?

“Normally, I am not a propo-nent of allowing the govern-ment to control so much of ourdaily lives, however with the is-sue around stupid people pur-posely deciding to not havetheir children immunized, Ihave to make a large exception.

“Absolutely no, parentsshould not have the right tochoose whether or not theirschool-age children are vacci-nated and a resounding yes, thegovernment should not allowunvaccinated children to attendschool, in fact, they shouldn't beallowed outside their homes.

“This is an over-reactiveview of course, but I find it pre-posterous that we are even hav-ing a discussion about thecauses of a resurgence of eradi-cated diseases in 2015. It amaz-es and frightens me that such alarge portion of the Americanpublic have as truth the myth ofany connection between vacci-nations and autism simply be-cause it was discussed on ‘TheView.’ This myth was created in1998 by a British researcherwho was paid $675,000 from alawyer who was hoping to suevaccine manufacturers. It hasbeen proven to be wrong sci-ence, yet people still to this daybelieve there is a link betweenvaccines and autism. They arewrong and we are currently see-ing the very negative effects ofthat misinformation.”

WHEN THEY MEET

The village of Greenhillshas an unusual street signidentifying a one-block lengthof street. The sign was placedon that block more than 30years ago and today that blockis still called Nonno Way. Thislone street sign has an interest-ing story behind it – one that Ibelieve is fitting for thisThanksgiving Day.

In the early 1900s AtilioMatteucci left his impover-ished village in northern Italyin search of a better life inAmerica. Like so many others,he arrived at Ellis Island withnothing in his pockets. Hequickly learned the Americanname for Italians was WOP, theabbreviation for With-Out-Papers. Today we call this“undocumented.”

He traveled the countrysearching for work. He workedin the copper mines in theUpper Peninsula of Michiganfor a time, eventually movingto Chicago, where he married,started a family and worked ina factory until he retired. Oneof his children was George, myfather-in-law. George passedaway just before Thanksgivingtwo years ago and more thananyone taught me how to be abetter father – not by what hetold me but by how he acted.

After retirement, Atilioended up widowed and living

alone in Chi-cago. One dayhis son Georgecame to visithim fromCincinnati,where he hadmoved hisfamily. Whenhe found his

dad sitting in the dark staringat the wall, George said, “Dadyou are coming to live withus.”

Susan, my wife, was theyoungest of George’s fourchildren and the only girl, andher relationship with Atiliowas a special one. He pickedher up from school; they talkeda lot; they went out to lunch.Mostly they went to Furr’sCafeteria. Atilio never hadlearned to read or write and hewas much more comfortableordering food he could seethan from a menu. When theydid go to a restaurant wherethey were waited on, he neverfailed to whisper into the wait-ress’ ear and soon a compli-mentary birthday dessertwould arrive in honor of Sue’sspecial day. Nonno would enjoya good chuckle and Sue wouldrespond with a knowing smile.

Atilio got a job as a crossingguard in the small suburbancommunity the Matteucciscalled home. All the neigh-

borhood kids loved this warmand humorous man. It did nottake long for them to call himthe same thing that Sue andher brothers did: Nonno. WhileNonno was still alive, the townof Greenhills renamed thestreet where he safely crossedthe kids to school Nonno Way.

The story of Nonno Atilio isthe story of America. An un-documented immigrant, justtrying to survive at first, endsup touching the hearts of thechildren and parents of a smallMidwestern community tosuch an extent that they affec-tionately rename a street afterhim with the appellation bywhich he was so affectionatelyknown.

I don’t know all the thingshe did to engender this affec-tion – I never met Atilio – but Isuspect they were the kinds ofcontributions that bring peopletogether, that help us see thejoy in living, that remind usthat we are all our brother’skeeper. How could you evenbegin to measure the value ofthese kinds of contributions?

What a gift Nonno Atiliowas to the community ofGreenhills, to the Matteuccifamily, to Susan, to me, andnow that you know a bit abouthim, in a small way, I hope, toyou.

Greenhills embraced ‘Nonno’ as its own

January was National Glau-coma Awareness Month, andthe doctors at Cincinnati EyeInstitute need your help tospread the word about thissight stealing disease.

In the United States, morethan 2.7 million people overthe age of 40 have glaucoma,but half of those people don’tknow they have the disease.This is because, in most cases,there are no symptoms atfirst. In fact, as much as 40percent of vision can be lostwithout a person noticing, andunfortunately, once vision islost it can’t be restored. Thisis why glaucoma is often re-ferred to as “the sneak thiefof sight.”

Glaucoma is the leadingcause of preventable blind-ness in the United States. Intechnical terms, it is a groupof diseases that cause damageto the optic nerve, resulting ina gradual loss of vision. With-out treatment, patients withglaucoma will slowly losetheir peripheral, or side vi-sion, so that they seem to belooking through a tunnel.Over time, straight-ahead

vision maydecrease untilno vision re-mains. Withtreatment,loss of visioncan be slowed,and in somecases evenstopped alto-gether.

There is nocure for glau-

coma, but it can be controlled.Early detection and treatmentare the keys to protectingyour eyes against vision loss.So, what can you do? Thesimple answer is, make anappointment for a full eyeexam. The American Acad-emy of Ophthalmology recom-mends that adults with nosigns or risk factors for eyedisease get a baseline eyedisease screening at age 40 –the time when early signs ofdisease and changes in visionmay start to occur. Based onthe results of this screening,your eye doctor can prescribetreatment, or suggest inter-vals for follow-up exams.

For those who have already

been diagnosed with glauco-ma, we need your help, too.We encourage you to talk tofamily and friends, and have aconversation about the dis-ease. This is especially impor-tant because those with afamily history of glaucomaare at a higher risk of devel-oping it.

For National GlaucomaAwareness Month, the doctorsat Cincinnati Eye Institutewould like to encourage you tolearn more about your eyehealth. While age, race, andfamily history are importantrisk factors to consider, any-one can develop glaucoma. Ifyou haven’t had your eyeschecked in a few years, con-sider scheduling an appoint-ment with your eye doctor. Ifyou think you are at risk, weencourage you to take action.Don’t let glaucoma sneak upon you. After all, your sightdepends on it.

On its roster this season are29 boys, a number head coachMike Lienhart had not seen be-fore in his 24 years coaching atthe school. Having depth is im-portant. But, being fast is moreimportant. The La Salle havecashed in receipts for both thisseason.

Over the arc of the season, in-dividual goals are the same:Shed time off your total. If

you’re fast enough you qualifyfor the district meet. If you’rereally fast, you make it to state.La Salle had all three relaysreach the Division I districtmeet Feb. 22 at Miami Univer-sity, which was postponed a dayto weather. Lienhart noted thatmost of his swimmers at the dis-trict meet are seniors. They are:Logan Brauning, Stephen Cos-co, Sam Redd, Dan Richter andDrew Meister. The rest areyoungsters: Anthony Hale, Eth-an Stock, Cole Trotta and DavidOrth.

“Most of the guys we quali-fied (to districts) are seniors,”said Lienhart. “We were remi-niscing at practice last night,thinking that when they swamas freshman, we had 13 guys on

the team that year. This year wehave 29 guys and the expecta-tion was ‘we know we’re gonnamake districts — let’s see howmany we can get.’”

He said the best shot at statewould be the 200 freestyle relay.

“We have a shot — we’d haveto swim a perfect race,” Lien-hart said in advance of the dis-trict meet. “Even then we mightnot make it.”

The Lancers would be sur-prised with a trip to state be-cause they’re mainly comprisedof “high-school season swim-mers,” which is different thanthe top-tier competition usuallyat state — club-level swimmerswho train most of the year. Lien-hart’s plan to combat this hasbeen effective.

COLERAIN TWP. — JulianDaniels is the first name thatcomes to mind when thinkingabout Northwest wrestling.

While he garners the lion’sshare of attention with his as-sault on the program’s recordbook, another wrestler on theteam is turning in a standoutseason.

Keyon Huntley held a 31-3record at 126 pounds, the bestmark in the city in his weightclass, through Feb. 19. Histhree losses have been by acombined seven points.

“My season is going prettygood so far compared to lastyear,” Huntley said. “I’ve wona lot more matches and beat acouple kids that I lost to lastyear.”

Huntley, a three-sport ath-lete during his freshman year,came to wrestling coach NickMaffey and told him that,based on the average size of his

family members, he knew hewas always going to be a small-er guy.

Once he came to that reali-zation, he dedicated himself towrestling and soon benefitedfrom that choice as the winsbegan to come and he qualifiedfor districts last year.

In the offseason, he con-tinued to work hard by wres-tling in the summer and fore-going the football season so hecould prepare for this year.

“Every coach has one ofthose guys that’s the first onein and the last to leave,” Maf-fey said. “He’s the first andonly captain I’ve had in myfour years here. He’s talking toall the right people and doingall the right things.”

Teammates are beginningto emulate everything fromhis work ethic down to hisstyle. Maffey said guys are be-ginning to wear knee pads overthe sweatpants and bandanasduring tournaments like Hun-tley does.

The coach said he is alsobenefiting from having drill-ing partner in Tyler King,who’s put in the hard work aswell. King is 17-5 this season.

“He’s a hard worker and oneof the top workers in theroom,” Huntley said of King.“We push each other every dayand both want to get better.Even though we’re friends, webeat each other up a little bit,too.”

With what Huntley and hiscoaches believe is the right for-mula in place, qualifying fordistricts and a potential stateberth isn’t out of the question.

But, the path won’t be easyas Huntley is sure to face guyslike Lebanon’s Quinn May andLa Salle’s John Shirkey.

The tough road ahead, how-ever, has done nothing to ham-per Huntley’s aspirations.

“I want to be in the top fourat districts and make it to thestate tournament,” he said.“I’ve got a vision and I want toachieve it.”

ST. BERNARD — Over the course of its season, RogerBacon High School’s swimmers accrued some battlescars, none which left them dead in the water, saidthird-year head coach Ben Stone. More aptly, thosescars energized and propelled the Spartans forward.

“With certain meets we’ve been able to judge our-selves and see how we’ve been competing against otherteams,” Stone said. “Going against teams like St. X, Ur-suline, St. Ursula and Moeller … (we’re) a little battle-scarred, so they’re not as scared.”

That’s part of the plan at Roger Bacon. Competeagainst the best with the hope being they’ll benefitcome postseason time. And they did benefit.

Roger Bacon performed well at the Division II sec-tional swim meet and sent the boys 200 freestyle relaythrough to districts, as well as juniors Drew Suffolettaand Nick Woerner in the 50 and 100 freestyles, fresh-man Ben Enderle in the 100 breaststroke and 200 indi-vidual medley; sophomore Renee Finan advanced todistricts in the 100 butterfly and freshman SophieHunter in the 200 individual medley and 100 breast-

stroke. “I expected the guys to do well. I didn’t expect

them to do this well — they’ve all dropped severalseconds,” Stone said. “I expected the girls to getmore (to districts). We actually had a few injuries atthe end of the year.”

At the Division II district swim meet Feb. 20 at Mi-ami University, the boys 200 freestyle, which includ-ed senior Tony DiMario along with Enderle, Suffolet-ta and Woerner, came in 10th overall with a time of1:35.51. Enderle swam 18th in the 100 breaststroke(1:07.39) and 19th in the 200 individual medley(2:09.36). Suffoletta was 19th in the 50 freestyle(23.51) and 27th in the 100 freestyle (52.17). Woernercame in 29th in the 50 freestyle (24.40) and 31st in the100 freestyle (53.18). Hunter was 19th in the 100breaststroke (1:11.38) and 25th in the 200 individualmedley (2:22.16).

“It’s been a huge year improving for us and we’re ayoung team so next year will be even better,” Stonesaid. Roger Bacon hasn’t ha a swimmer qualify forstate since 2010 (Kyle Brauning), per Stone. But,Stone was optimistic Hundter could qualify for statethis season “if she dropped a second or two.” She didnot qualify for state but she’s also a freshman, so timeand opportunity are her friends.

“Next year, I predict most of our guys shouldmake it to state,” said Stone.

A relatively new typeof short-term loan hascome to the Tristate andbefore you decide to takeout this loan you need tofully understand therates, fees, term andconditions. It’s called anauto title loan and it isdrawing complaints fromsome consumers.

The loan requires youto use your car as collat-eral. In several cases the

borrower is given 30days to repay the loan,plus interest of 310 per-cent, plus fees to the titleloan company.

Cincinnati Legal Aidlawyer Nick DiNardosays he’s received a lot ofcomplaints about theseloans.

“They get trapped in acycle of debt which isexactly what the titlelenders intended to do.

They want you to come inevery month and rollover these loans,” DiNar-do says.

One such customer,Lisa Wilkerson, of Green-hills, borrowed $1,000when she needed moneyin an emergency. But,she was not able to repayit all, plus the fees, withinthe 30-day time limit so itwas rolled into a newloan. In the end, she says,

she paidback morethan twicewhat sheoriginallyborrowed.

TheOhio Con-sumerLendersAssociationissued me

a statement saying, “Au-to equity lenders fill agap for consumers whotypically do not haveaccess to other sourcesof short term cred-it…Our members fill avoid left by traditionalbanks, credit companies,and mortgage lenders to

provide a much-neededservice to worthy bor-rowers who are beingneglected and ignored byothers. This product hasproved to be invaluableto many consumers whoare finding it difficult toobtain a credit card, bankloan, home-equity line ofcredit, and other formsof credit.”

The association alsosays a recent Harris Pollfound 93 percent of bor-rowers in the short-termlending industry statedthey fully understoodand weighted the risksand benefits before tak-ing out the loan. In addi-tion, the poll found 9 out

of 10 borrowers said theywere satisfied with theproduct received.

So, before you take outan auto equity title loanmake sure you have aplan for repaying thatmoney – plus the interestand fees – within the timedictated by the lender.Realize your failure topay that money couldresult in considerablymore money owed andeven the loss of yourvehicle due to reposses-sion by the lender.
