As spring break, prom andgraduation plans take shape,Wyoming Youth Services hasteamed with the city’s fire de-partment to open dialogue aboutteens and alcohol.
“In recent years, there havebeenseveral incidentsofseriousinjuries or deaths from alcoholconsumption by underageteens,” Fire Chief Robert Riel-agesaid. “Themedicalemergen-cies generated from these inci-dents have been a great concernto Wyoming Fire – EMS person-nel, not only because of the trau-ma injuries that have occurred,
but also that these young pa-tients have been the sons ordaughters of relatives, friends,or neighbors.”
Wyoming Fire – EMS is partof an Alcohol Task Force,formed in2010 in response to thedeath ofRichardBeck,whodiedin an alcohol-related car acci-dent. Othermembers of the taskforce include Wyoming CitySchools, Wyoming Youth Ser-vices, Wyoming Police Depart-ment, Wyoming Parent StudentAssociation andmembers of thecommunity.
“The purpose of the AlcoholTask Force is to raise the aware-ness in our community of theproblem and potential conse-quences associated with under-age drinking,” Rielage said.“This is being accomplished in athree-part approach of parent
education, teeneducationand in-creased community involve-ment.”
Ameetingwill be heldMarch3 at Ascension and Holy TrinityChurch, 334 Burns Ave., and the
task force has encouraged par-ents and their teens to attend.
The forumwill include sever-al presenters.
Susan Eppley, a clinical psy-chologist in private practice andWyoming paramedic, will dis-cuss peer pressure and the psy-chological consequences whendrinking leads to unsafe behav-ior.
Wyoming paramedic WendyWalters, a registered nurse, haspartnered with Krista Jones ofTri-Health Thinkfirst InjuryPrevention Program at Bethes-daNorthHospital.Joneswilldis-cuss the signs and symptoms ofexcessive alcohol consumption,and when teens should call 911for emergency help.
“The goal of this interactiveforum was to educate teens andparents how to recognize when
friends need emergency medi-cal assistance while recognizingthis activity is taking place ille-gally,” Rielage said.
Kimberly Hauser, executivedirector of Wyoming Youth Ser-vices, is focused on the healthand safety of the whole child.
“Ourposition isanabstinencemodel,butwealsoneedto lookatpractical safety concerns, whenkidsmake bad decisions,”Haus-er said, “and how can theirfriends recognize the signs tohelp.”
“We don’t want them tomakea mistake they can’t ever recov-er from.”
No registration is needed fortheMarch3forum,whichbeginsat 3 p.m. at the church. More in-formation is available on thetask force’s Facebook page, ti-tledWho-R-You.

Tim Burdine has been deli-vering the Tri-County Press formore than seven years.
Every week, he and hisbrother, Ethan, drop off a pa-per, and as paymentswere due,customers would leave themoney in an envelope for themto collect.
On Jan. 5, Tim made hisrounds, but as he approachedone of the houses on his route,the envelope wasn’t there. Thehomeowner, Gene O’Bryon, al-ways left his envelope taped to
the door, but not this time.Timnoticed that hismailbox
was full, and the previousweek’s paper was still on theporch.
He went home and told hisdad, Michael Burdine, and thepair returned to the house,checking for any activity.There was none, so theychecked with O’Bryon’s neigh-bor, Bert Pierce.
Pierce called Springdale Po-lice, andwhen they entered thehome, they found O’Bryon.He’d been dead for about aweek, Michael Burdine said.
Timwas commended for hisinitiative at Springdale CityCouncil’s Feb. 6 meeting,where the 15-year-old Prince-ton High School freshman re-
ceived theGoodCitizenAward.His mom, Carolyn Burdine,
said it showed her that Timhadlistened to her advice, and tohis instincts.
“I’m impressed,” she said ofher son. “You’re happy whenyou see the benefits of thoselessons.”
“It’s important to be awareof your surroundings, and totake action when you see thatsomething isn’t right,” Tim’sdadsaid. “We trusthimtomakethe right decisions when he’sout on his own.”
Tim’s glad he took action, soO’Bryon’s family, who live outof town, could have peace ofmind.
“Listen to your instincts,”Tim said. “It’s worthwhile.”

dents,” Love said of the pavilion.“We looked at something that
would create a city center, andthis seemed like a natural, sinceHWB is doing the programmingfor(theperformances)anyway.”
During a public hearing,Glendale resident Tim Kilgoreexpressed concerns about theproject, citing its proximity toresidents, as well as the scale ofthe pavilion.
“They’re squeezing too muchon the property,” Kilgore said.
AronsteinandCouncilwomanDebbie Grueninger questionedthe location of the structure, cit-ing crowding and train noise.
Aronstein asked who wouldbe responsible for maintenanceof the site.
Love said HWB would be re-sponsible for the maintenance,which would be funded initiallythrough a fundraiser, and laterincludedintheannualHWBbud-get.
The pavilion, Love said,would be named after PeterGruber, aGlendale residentwhowas killed in a boating accidentseveral years ago.
Mayor Ralph Hoop said thatwith the construction of a pavil-ion, events could be held rain orshine.
Glendale Village Council hasclearedthewayfortheconstruc-tion of a performance pavilion.
The structure, to be built onthe grounds of the Harry Whit-ing Brown Community Center,was approved as a conditionaluse of the land at 34 VillageSquare.
Te resolutionpassed, 5-1,withCouncilman Bill Aronstein vot-ing against the measure.
The village’s planning com-mission had placed the matterbefore Village Council, withunanimous support.
Planning Commission mem-ber Scott Thurman describedthe project, which would pro-vide shelter for performancesduring summer months, includ-ing plays, poetry readings andband performances.
The conditional use permitwould allow construction of aperformance pavilion on theproperty.
Glendale resident Dan Love,who is also a musician, hadworked with the commissionandHWB on the proposal.

The Cincinnati law-maker invited all mem-bers from the House andSenate to join her for anorganizational meetingJan. 23 in theRiffeCenter.
“It’s so important thatwe allow enough time toreally focus and maxi-mize our efforts on Veter-ans’ issues throughmean-ingful legislation and ad-vocacy,” Pillich said.“This caucus will allow usto do just that. As I havewitnessedduringmy timein the legislature, some-times there are compet-ing agendas and differingviews on how best to ad-dress laws relevant tothose with military ser-vice. I think this is a goodstep toward building uni-ty on a multitude of top-ics.”

MyArtisano Foods takes itsproduct from start to finish.
The store, which opens inSharonville Jan. 29, sells Latin-American cheeses and foodsthat accompany them, butthat’s only half the story.
The cheeses are made on-site, by store owner EduardoRodriguez.
An agricultural engineer byeducation, the Blue Ash resi-dent grew up in Venezuela,where he learned the trade.
After a career with Procterand Gamble, Rodriguez decid-ed hewanted to pursuehis life-long interest.
He also saw a need, as hefound it difficult to find Latin-American style cheeses in lo-cal groceries.
“Being here in Cincinnati, Ilooked around in the markets,and I can’t find the cheese I en-joy down there,” he said.
Theshop isdivided intoare-tail section,where the cheeses,along with crackers, driedfruits, olives, beans and otheraccompaniments, will be sold.
During lunchtime, he willsell boxed lunches, as well.
The other portion of thestore is dedicated to makingthe cheese.
Customers can watchthrough large windows in theretail section.
My Artisano Foods will sellsome imported cheeses alongwithRodriguez’shandmadeof-ferings:
» Paisano. This cheese has amild, fresh milk flavor andchewy texture. It’s good forgrilling.
»Herb paisano. This ver-sion adds flavor to the mild,chewy cheese.
»Hand-stretched cheese.This mild cheese is similar tomozzarella, and can be servedon tomatoes, sweet corn pan-cakes, or in grilled sand-wiches.
» Ricottone. This is similarto ricotta cheese, though a lit-tlemore salty. It can be used inspreads.
»Nata/sour cream cheese.This mild cheese is spread-able, and is thinner than ricot-
tone. It can be used in dips andsoups.
»Guyana. This cheese iscreamy,with a soft texture andmild flavor.
Rodriguez also will assem-ble platters for parties or busi-ness meetings or corporateevents.
“I can help put together acheese sampler, and advise onwines to serve with them,” hesaid.
Rodriguez will offer sam-ples at the store, so customerscan see how the cheeses can beserved. Recipes will be avail-able, as well.
Photos of the cheeses canbefound on the website,www.myartisanfoods.com.
The store, at 10965 Reading
Road, will be open from11a.m.to 6 p.m. Monday through Fri-day, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.on Saturday.
Rodriguez can be reachedbye-mail at [email protected].
Rodriguez said he’s lookingforward to the challenge ofcreatingandsellinghischeese.

WYOMING —The term “Cow-boy up” has been used in recentyears tomotivate people to stepup their efforts and maximizetheir potential.
That may be a polite way ofdescribing it.
From the Wyoming HighSchool gym rafters, there’snothing polite about the waycoach Matt Rooks’ team playsdefense on the basketball court.
While probably nice youngmen, the Cowboys guard theiropponents as close as a magnetclings to a refrigerator. By do-ing so, they’re hoping to finishat or above .500 after winningjust two games a year ago.
“We hang our hat on de-fense,” Rooks said. “We have toguardpeople, dictate tempoandpressure people for 32 min-utes.”
To do so requires tremen-dous conditioning, both mental-ly and physically. Wyoming’snewcoach emphasizes “playingthrough” being tired.
“We can’t let teams be com-fortable,” Rooks said. “We can’tlet them run their stuff.”
The Cowboys’ top offensivethreats are junior Ahmad Frostand seniorBenKurtz. Together,they combine for about 26points per game. Kurtz is thelone senior starter and the onlyother senior is backup forwardDawson Rogers. Everyone elseon the team should return.
Basedon their personnel andhow they’ve pressured teamsdefensively, several CincinnatiHills League coaches look atWyomingasafront-runnernextseason.
“A few of them have told methe same thing,” Rooks said. “Ido think we have a shot to bepretty good next year. Especial-ly with our league. A lot ofteams lose a lot of seniors.”
The key may be having a re-turning backcourt as Rooksstarts freshman Mason Rogersalongside veteran scorer Frost.Mason is theyoungerbrotherofsenior Dawson and sophomoreHudson Rogers. Rooks oftenthanks their mother for histeam depth.
“Mason brings a toughnesstous,”Rookssaid. “He’s theper-fect point guard for us. He’llguard and he doesn’t care aboutscoring. He actually helps takethe pressure offAhmad (Frost).Teams are on Ahmad hard.”
In the frontcourt, 6-foot-3Ben Kurtz is the go-to guy andthe leading rebounder. He alsowas an example when Rookswanted to send amessage to theCowboys.
“Madeira beat us bad andthat was a turning point for us,”Rooks said. “Frost got hurt andKurtz wasn’t shooting goodshots.Hewasplaying totally forhimself. I sat him thewhole sec-ond half to make a point that ifwedon’t do itmyway or play to-gether, you guys will see whathappens. Ever since then, BenKurtz has been phenomenal.”
It’s a move many coacheswouldn’t make, but somethingRooks likely learnedasanassis-tant to Carl Kremer at Moeller.
“As soon as you get selfish,you’re not playing,” Rooks reit-erated.
Ahead, Wyoming (10-8 as ofFeb. 8) has a chance at redemp-tionwith a home gamewithMa-deira Feb. 15.

HYDE PARK — Led by seniorand UC commit Kevin Johnson,along with Division I collegeprospects Antonio Woods andMaCio Teague, the SummitCountry Day basketball team isrolling throughthecompetition.
TheSilverKnightsowna19-1record (through Feb. 8) and theNo. 1 spot in the AssociatedPress’ Division III state poll.
Johnson and Woods helpeddrive last year’s squad to thestate title. The addition ofTeague, may put Summit in thedriver’s seat to hoist the trophyfor second-straight season.
Coach Michael Bradley saidTeague, who is a sophomore, of-fers another option for a teamthat’s beat opponents by an av-erage of 32 points per game.Rather than focusing on Woodsand Johnson, opponents mustshow respect for Teague’s abil-ity on the wing.
“We have another guy capa-
ble of going for 20-plus pointsany night,” Bradley said. “He’sa great second or third optionand in the next couple of years,(MaCio) will obviously be op-tion No. 1.”
While Johnson is set to be aBearcat, Teague, a sophomore,was offered by Seton Hall lastsummer.Woods,who is a junior,was recently offered by MiamiUniversity, and also owns foot-ball offers from Northwestern,Kent State and Bowling Green.
Each player has 25-point anight scoring potential, butscale their shots back to workwitin Summit’s system, accord-ing to Bradley.
“They are very unselfishkids and they care more aboutthe team than they do them-selves, “Bradley said. “It’s veryrare in today’sAAUselfish, ego-driven world that these kidscare more about the team thanthemselves.”
“We don’t have to average 25points pergame,we just have tothe team involved. Anyone can
make a shot on any given day,”Woods said.
While Johnson, Woods andTeage aren’t leading the MVC’soffensive categories, they’re inthe mix of league leaders.
Johnson is second in theMVC with 18.3 points, whileTeague (14.4) and Woods areright behind him (13.8).
Woods is also fourth in as-sists (3.8), while he and Johnson
combine for more than sixsteals per contest.
Teague, who is a resident ofSpringdale, joined the SilverKnights after playing last sea-son for IMG Academy in Bra-dington, Fla.
He came to Summit havinghistory with both Woods andJohnson. Teague played againstWoods in middle school, and re-membered when he was young-
er,movingoutof thewaybeforehe could get dunked on by John-son.
“I was very excited (to playfor Summit). Those are twogreat guys and Division-Iguards, and I’m learning a lotfrom them,” Teague said.
The Knights are a more up-tempo team this season afterhaving the luxury of dumpingthe ball off to departed big manHolden Hertzel during their ti-tle run.Without a key post pres-ence, guard and wing play be-comes more important, whichplays right into the hands of theBig Three. Combined with theexperience of varsity return-ees, such as Jake Rawlings andMike Barwick, Johnson be-lieves Summit has the formulato repeat.
“That’swhatmakesusastatechampionship team rightthere,” Johnson said.WithMikeand Jake contributing, and Ma-Cio and Antonio and myselfclicking, to me, that equals astate title.”

A publication of
As most people know, everyfour years the president andvice president are not electeddirectly by voters.
Rather, they are electedindirectly by electoral collegevotes.
Since the president and vicepresident are the only national-ly-elected officials, our found-ing fathers created an impres-sive procedure (the ElectoralCollege) to treat their electionas distinctly different from theelection of a senator or repre-sentative.
The number of electoralvotes in each state is equal tothe number of members ofCongress to which the state isentitled. There are 538 elector-al votes, based on there being435 representatives and 100senators, plus three electoralvotes for the District of Co-lumbia (as designated in the
Twenty-third Amend-ment.)
In the 2012 elec-tion, President Obamawon the popular votewith 65.9 million votesto Mitt Romney’s 60.9million. The presidentwon the electoralcollege by a widermargin, 332-206.
In all states, exceptMaine and Nebraska,electoral votes are allocated ona winner-take-all basis. Maineand Nebraska allocate elector-al votes based on congression-al districts.
GOP officials who controllegislatures in states that sup-ported President Obama twice(Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania,Virginia) are consideringchanging state laws that givethe winner of a state’s popularvote all of its electoral college
votes. These officialswant to allocate elector-al votes proportionallyby congressional dis-tricts similar to theMaine and Nebraskasystems.
Under such a systemin Virginia, for instance,President Obama wouldhave claimed four of thestate’s 13 electoral votesin the 2012 election,
rather than all of them.Republican National Com-
mittee Chairman Reince Prie-bus has endorsed the conceptof allocating electoral votes bycongressional districts.
“It’s something that a lot ofstates that have been consis-tently blue that are fully con-trolled red ought to be lookingat.”
So that means Michigan,Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Florida, and NorthCarolina (having Republicancontrol of both chambers ofthe state legislature and thegovernor’s office) may betempted to follow Reince Prie-bus’s marching orders andchange the way our countryelects its president.
Daylin Leach, Pennsylvaniastate senator (D) said, “As apolicy matter, this is so outra-geous, it’s almost hard to be-lieve ... It is an obscene schemeto cheat by rigging the elec-tions.”
The Republican State Lead-ership Committee has admit-ted that if the American votershad their way, there would be aDemocratic majority in theU.S. House, but thanks to Re-publican gerrymandering ofcongressional district lines,the party has successfullyrigged the game and controlled
a majority in the House.After having fixed congres-
sional district lines to guaran-tee success regardless of pop-ular will, are Republicans plan-ning to rig presidential elec-tions starting in 2016?
There is always a dramaticdrop off in Democratic turnoutbetween presidential elections.Rank-and-file Democrats needto understand that if they don’tvote in 2014, Republicans mayrig the presidential election in2016.
This may be the kind ofissue that can help get Demo-crats energized in a midtermelection.

Assault on Electoral College
RichardSchwabCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST
Feb. 6 questionHow does Greater Cin-
cinnati Airport’s announce-ment that a low-cost carri-er, Frontier Airlines, will beoperating from the airportaffect you? Are youmore orless likely to fly from CVGas opposed to anotherregional airport?
“I have been retiredfrom IBM for 21 years,and have flown out of ourairport maybe once ortwice since then. So myview is not as importantas someone who still fliesregularly.
“Having said that, how-ever, I have seen mediadiscussion about the con-cern over Frontier’s initiallow rates, which probablywill adversely affect Del-ta Airlines’ operatingprofits. Some of that dis-cussion speculates that itmay even cause Delta toleave, and when Frontieris left without competitionit may well raise its rates.
“One of the few bene-fits of getting old is that Idon’t have to travel onbusiness any more, so thissituation will not affectme directly.”
Bill B.
“That depends on thecost of the new carrier’stickets. So far, by rep-utation, CVG has beenvery costly to fly out ofcompared to Dayton orIndianapolis, mainly dueto their low operating andoverhead costs of whatCVG has.
“I have flown out ofDayton in the past foralmost one-half to one-third the cost of CVG, getonto a plane which takesme to CVG and I make theconnecting flight fromthere. I don’t see the logicof CVG.”
O.H.R.
“Frontier will be anoth-
er source to check onflights and fares. We oftenfly out of CVG to LA andhave in the past foundgood deals on both Deltaand American Airlines.
“Delta provides a di-rect flight on some dayswhere AA usually has oneto two stops prior to LA.
“Understand that Fron-tier will have to stop inDenver so this might notbe as beneficial in cost asa direct flight. Time andcost will tell and makesome future decisions onflight providers.”
D.J.
“I’m not a regular air-line user, but I am glad tosee some competitioncome to CVG. Frontier’sarrival proves once andfor all that Delta was mak-ing excessive profits. Sadto say, that’s what mostbusinesses do in the ab-sence of competition.”
R.V.
“Frontier coming intoCVG is great news! Hopeother carriers are soon tofollow. Already boughtvery affordable tickets togo to Denver this sum-mer.”
J.R.B.
“I will definitely try tofly from CVG using Fron-tier. Here’s hoping theycan make it!”
J.G.
“Greater Cincinnatiansdon’t enjoy driving 100+miles north, south or westto find affordable air trav-el. For the past nearly 30years it’s been a way oflife thanks to the strangle-hold of Delta Airlines onCVG.
“Competition is a won-derful thing, I welcomeFrontier and look forwardto the 25-mile drive. Iwish them success.”

As an educator and careerdevelopment professional, I findComplete College Ohio to fallwoefully short on manylevels. The report con-sists of the suggestionsdeveloped by a taskforce convened by JimPetro, chancellor of theOhio Board of Regents,to “develop a set ofstrategic recommenda-tions for increasing thepercentage of Ohioanswith college degrees.”According to Petro’smessage at the begin-ning of the report, hismission as chancellor also in-cludes increasing the number ofOhioans with “other meaningfulcredential(s).” Following aresome of the caveats in the taskforce’s analysis and suggestedremedies:
First, it is necessary to callattention to one glaring omission:While the board of regents isscrambling to find ways to im-prove the college graduation rate- financial incentives and higheracademic requirements, for ex-ample – it neglects to recognizean important factor that researchshows increases college success:Career maturity.
In my profession as a careerspecialist, we stress to high
school students the importanceof having a clearly defined ca-reer plan. One crucial measure of
career maturity is theability to answer threequestions: Who am I?Where am I going? Howwill I get there? Accordingto Kenneth Gray in hisbook, “Getting Real,” thereare two indicators of post-secondary success in col-lege: Academic ability andcareer focus. AlthoughPetro’s report addressesacademic ability, it scarce-ly touches upon the equal-ly important factor of
career focus.Secondly, Petro claims that his
mission includes increasing “oth-er meaningful credential(s),” butin reality, the board of regents isprimarily concerned with highereducation. Complete CollegeOhio, as the name implies, cen-ters almost exclusively uponcollege completion. It is alsoimportant to realize that collegesdo not promote the idea of careerfocus. Instead, they urge stu-dents to enter college and “figureout” their major after they beginthe college experience. This ispoor advice that helps lead to theproblem of abysmal drop-outrates. Furthermore, many stu-dents who do graduate from
college are oftentimes under-employed, making it even moredifficult for a vast number ofthem, as well as their classmateswho do not complete college, topay back the crushing debt theyhave accumulated during theircollege careers.
Finally, there are not enoughjobs in the labor market to sup-port everyone earning a collegedegree. Right now, for instance,there are enormous skills gaps inthe trades’ areas - for machinistsand welders to cite two exam-ples. For an interesting com-mentary on the need for skilledtrades’ workers in this country,go to YouTube and viewMikeRowe’s testimony to the U.S.Senate on the need for skilledworkers.
Perhaps instead of promotingcollege to all of our students, weshould encourage them to pursuethe areas where they show themost aptitude, interest and pas-sion. At the same time, and asPetro’s report mentions, it isvitally important to teach them toglean relevant information aboutthe realities of the labor market.

Comments from local lead-ers about issues in the news:
Joining the fight“Women have been serving
in combat situations for yearsin Iraq and Afghanistan. Theyhave been risking their livesalongside their male col-leagues. They deserve thesame training, equipment andbenefits that all other combatsoldiers receive.”
– State Rep. Connie Pillich(D-Montgomery) on the decisionof Secretary of Defense LeonPanetta to lift the combat exclu-sion policy for women serving inour armed forces. Pillich is oneof four women veterans servingin the Ohio House.
Pay now, what aboutlater?
“America must pay its bills –no one is arguing against thatpoint. What we are debating ishow to shrink those bills mov-ing forward so the federal gov-ernment doesn't continue max-ing out its credit card and sell-ing out future generations. Thebills are too high, and it wouldbe irresponsible to merely payour past obligations withouthaving a real debate aboutWashington's reckless spend-ing habits and how to avoid thissituation in the future.”
– U.S. Sen. Rob Portman onwhy he voted against H.R. 325,the Debt Limit Bill.
Job not well done“This week, we were sad to
learn not only that unemploy-ment remains high, but alsothat the economy actuallyshrunk in the most recent quar-ter. This is far from the robusteconomic recovery that wehope for and that was prom-ised; it’s time to face the factsand start implementing pro-growth policies to rejuvenateour economy and put peopleback to work. In order to getour economy back on the righttrack, we must rein in Wash-ington’s out-of-control deficits,modernize our antiquated andinefficient tax code, reformour important but unsustain-able entitlement programs, andreduce onerous regulationsthat prevent businesses fromexpanding here at home.”

Wayne Coulter retired froma 28-year career with the Armyin2008,buthehasn’t lefthismil-itarydaysbehindhim.AchanceencounterwithagroupofWorldWar II re-enactors at the BlueAsh Air Show that summer hasturned into both a dedicatedhobby and collection for theSpringdale history buff.
Coulter, 52, began collectingauthentic items used by sol-diers in World War II for use inreenacting the battles and mis-sionsofWorldWarII.Hepartic-ipates in about five reenact-ments across the country eachyear with the Texas-basedThird Army Living Historiansgroup.
Coulter,who's investedabout$13,000 in his "living history"collection, is now often tappedbyeducational andcivic organi-zations to share his passion. Hisdisplays have been featured inair shows in Indianapolis andDayton, Middletown's TroopAid 2010, the Dayton PatriotFreedom Festival and the Cin-cinnati Museum Center's 1940'sweekend.
About the collection: Morethan 600 items, including weap-ons, uniforms and equipment. Ihave amedical display, with ev-erything you'd find in a WorldWar II medical bag, like tourni-quets, a Red Cross arm band,1942 iodine swabs, scissors anda medical needle sterilizer. Thedemolitions display has a galva-nometer and blasting and tripwire. I have two M1 carbinesand an A1 carbine, M1 Garandand M1903 Springfield bolt ac-tion rifles, an M1919 .30 calibermachine gun, an M1911 pistoland replicas of the M1928Thompson machine gun, M3"grease gun" .45 caliber ma-chine gun and M1A1 rocketlauncher.
Why World War II? That'swhat I grew up with. My fatherwas inWorldWar II in theNavy.He joined in 1943 and wentthrough Okinawa and Iwo Jimaandwas inOccupationJapanaf-ter the war and then served inKorea. He never really spokeabout his service and I foundout about a lot of the things he'sdone from books after hepassed on in 2009. I learned thathis ship was hit by a JapaneseKamikaze (pilot) and that inKo-rea,hewaspartof the force thatlanded at Inchon under directfire from the Communistforces.Hewasveryhumbleandsaid he was just one of many.
Most valuable item: AnM1919 machine gun displaygun. A friend of mine built thisup from a .30 caliber dummygun. I asked him if I could dis-play it andhesaid toholdonto it.He had me tow a trailer lastyear and it was too heavy andtore up my transmission. Hesaid, "Dude, just keep the dis-
play gun." If I had to buy one to-day as a display gun, it wouldcost $2,300. It cost me $1,700 toget the transmission fixed. Ithink I came out on the betterend of that deal.
Best find: An M1944 com-pactpackset,whichwouldhavebeen the last combat set fieldedduring World War II. The top
half attaches to a bottom set. Inthe top half, you would havemaybe a change of underwear,socks, a T-shirt and food andammunition. In combat, youcould drop that bottom pack.Mymomused towork at the oldMidwest Salvage in Woodlawnwhen I was 15 years old andcameupwith it then. Ipaid$5.50
back in the 1970s for the tophalf. I found the bottom half ofthat pack set at a show inNorth-ern Kentucky 35 years after Ifound the top half. I paid $15 forthe bottom half and today thepackwouldgofor$150.The1944packwas never accepted by theArmy as standard equipmentandmostweremodified and thestraps torn off. For me to find acomplete, almost mint, 1944pack, you just don't see it.
Mostunique item: Ipaid$10for a Lucky Strike green flat'50s (cigarette) tin at an antiquemall. It's a unique item from theperiod that has a little story be-hind it. Prior to World War II,Lucky Strike packs were greenand red. In 1942, packs becamewhite because the military wastaking all the green dye.They're white to this day.
What motivates you toshare your collection? I loveteaching people. As a non-com-missioned officer in theArmy, Iwas always teaching peoplehow to do their jobs. When I gotout, I could take my knowledgeof U.S. military history and im-part that to the public. A lot ofpeople say, 'Why don't theyteach this in schools?' I just say,'Indeed, why don't they.'

So much happening inFebruary! It’s HeartMonth, Lent starts, Val-entine’s Day is here andso is Presidents’ Day.
Let’s start with some-thing for Valentine’s Daysince that is one of myfavorite special days.When I was a kid, sweets
were a realtreat, duein part toMom’s leanbudget andher and myDad’s de-sire to feedthe nine ofus childrena healthydiet. Sowhen I was
16 and received my firstValentine box of candyfrommy boyfriend, Jim,I was in chocolate heav-en. I’ve gotten lots ofValentine’s treats sincethen, but none can takethe place of that firstheart of drugstore choco-lates.
Reach out this Valen-tine’s Day by remember-ing those folks whowould benefit from a funcard, a phone call or aplate of goodies.
‘I love you'chocolate coveredcherries
These are amazinglyeasy to make and lookstunning in a heartshaped box. This recipeis appropriate for Presi-dents’ Day, too. Remem-ber the story of GeorgeWashington admitting tochopping down his Dad’scherry tree because hecouldn’t “tell a lie.”
1 jar l0 oz., maraschinocherries with stems
Drain cherries very well forseveral hours. Theymustbe dry for fondant toadhere.
Fast FondantNot a true fondant, but aneasy one. You’ll havefondant leftover. Freezefondant up to amonth.
3 tablespoons butter,softened
3 tablespoons light cornsyrup
2 cups powdered sugar12 ounces or so meltedchocolate
Mix butter and syrup,then mix in powderedsugar. It will look a bitdry but will come togeth-er as you knead itsmooth. If too soft tohandle, chill for 15 min-utes. (Mixture can alsobe made a week aheadand brought to roomtemperature). Shape 1⁄2 tol teaspoon mixturearound each cherry, fit-ting the fondant closelyto the cherry, enclosingthe base of the stem aswell. Roll in your palmsto smooth fondant. Placeon baking sheet and chilluntil firm. This is neces-sary for the chocolate toadhere. Melt chocolate.Let cool a bit – chocolatewill be still be warm andvery liquid. Dip cherryinto chocolate. Seal com-pletely or juice couldleak out. Place onsprayed baking sheet.Chill until firm.
To store: Store intightly covered containerin frig. Bring to roomtemperature before eat-ing.
Cake pops: Recipe onmy blog. Fun for kids.Check out photo ofgrandson, Jack, deco-rating cake pops hemade.
Heart healthyvegetarian redbeans and rice
When you pair ricewith beans, you have anice, protein filled dish.Try brown rice which isnutritionally better thanwhite. It will take longerto cook, and is absorbedmore slowly in your sys-
tem you feel full longer.
1generous cup choppedonion
1generous teaspoon garlic,minced
1-2 teaspoons cumin1 teaspoon chili powder ormore to taste
2 cups rice2 cans, approx. 16 ouncesea., red beans, drained
4 cups low sodium, fat freevegetable or chickenbroth
Salt and pepper to tasteGarnish: Thinly sliced greenonions, chopped tomatoes
Film bottom of panwith olive oil. Add every-thing but beans andbroth. Cook over mediumheat until garlic smellsfragrant. Don’t let onionsand garlic get brown. Stirin beans and broth. Coverand lower to a simmerand cook until rice istender.
Tip from Rita’s kitch-en: Beans are calledcancer-licking legumes –high in fiber and proteinand low in fat.
What about salt? Toomuch is bad for theheart! Himalayan pinksea salt is my salt ofchoice. Absolutely pure,sans toxins or any otherbad stuff, unlike othersalts that we commonlyuse. Check out my blogfor timely info on thispretty and tasty salt.

Whywould someonesend a check for severalthousand dollars to a totalstranger?
Although it soundscrazy, it happens everyday. But if you get onethose checks and depositit you could end up losingthousands of dollars.
Sending checks tostrangers has been goingon for years with thesender giving a wide
variety ofreasons forthe check.But allthesescams haveone thingin common– thechecksthey sendyou are
phony and themoney youare to send themwill be
real.KatelinWillman of
Brookville received oneof these checks after sheadvertised for a job onthe Internet.
“I’ve received severaldifferent job offers. Mostof them seem to be scamsbut this one in particulartold me I could advertiseonmy car so it seemedreally good, easymoney.All I have to do is drivearound,” Willman said.
Willman told thatemailer she was interest-ed.
“All of a sudden hesent me a check in themail for more than $2,400.The job offer was only forlike $300. It seemed alittle fishy to me andthat’s when I contactedyou,” Willman said.
I asked if she wassupposed to keep theextra $2,100 as some kindof advance on her salary,but she said no. Willman
said she was told, “Put itin my bank account, thenget a money order for theextra money and send itout.”
“The check lookedlegitimate and real but itjust sounded weird,”Willman said.
Another sign this was ascam is the sender didn’tenclose the placard withthe ad that was to beplaced on the side of hercar. All she received wasthe phony check. It seemsvery clear all the senderwas interested in was themoney.
WhenWillman emailedthe sender saying sheknew it was a scam, hewrote back.
“He said the FBI wasafter me because I cashedtheir check and I bettersend themoney or elsethey’re going to comeafter me…The sad thingis a lot of people are goingto fall for it and they’re
going to have their bankaccounts drained,” Will-man said.
Unfortunately, Will-man is correct; a lot ofpeople have fallen for thisscam. In fact, the FederalTrade Commission saysfake checks are beingused in a growing numberof fraudulent schemes,including secret shopperscams, foreign lotteryscams, check overpay-ment scams and Internetauction scams.
That’s why, eventhough it cost the scam-mer nearly $19 for ex-press mail postage inWillman’s case, he canafford to pay it. He sendsout lots of these phonychecks and, even if only ahandful of recipients fallfor the scam, he canmakea lot of money.
Sometimes the phonychecks look like legiti-mate cashier’s checks orpostal money orders, but
they are never real. In allcases you are told to de-posit the check into yourbank account. Then youmust send them yourgoodmoney viaWesternUnion orMoney Gram –and that money can’t betraced. In fact, thethieves can pick up themoney at just about anylocation, often outside theUnited States.
Phony checks can takeweeks to discover andyou are responsible forany funds you withdrawfrom the bank againstthat check. Remember,once you sign the back ofa check and deposit it, thebank will hold you respon-sible if that check doesn’tclear.

The Blue Ash Recrea-tion Center presents “TheTraveling Jekyll & HydeShow” by Russell Davis,an interactive theaterper-formance by Playhouse inthe Park “Off the Hill.”
This free event is opento the public and will be6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday,Feb.15, in theRecCenter’sgymnasium, 4433 CooperRoad.
The comedy decon-structs the themes ofRob-ertLouis Stevenson’s clas-sichorrornovelusingver-bal wit, slapstick andclowning. A tiny touringtheatre company at-tempts to tell the story ofthe scientist who learns tosplit his good fromhis evilside; however, they aresabotagedateverystepbya domineering directorwho suffers from his ownability to keep his moral-ity straight. The three
women in the companyslowly take control of thestory as they learn to takecontrol of their lives.
“The Traveling Jekyll& Hyde Show” is not a lit-eral telling of the originalnovel,butdoestouchonitsthemes. It is recommend-ed for ages 11 and up, andfamilies are encouragedto stick around for a ques-tion and answer sessionimmediatelyfollowingtheperformance.
TheNortheastCommu-nity Challenge Coalition(NECC), a local communi-ty prevention coalitiondedicated to promotingsafe and healthy lifestylesfor youth in the area, willbe selling concessions atthe show as a fundraiserfor their Youth Coalition.TheNECCYouthCoalitionsponsors a CommunityWide Red Ribbon cam-paign, an annual yearlong
effort to increase aware-nessabout thenegativeef-fects of violence/bullying,alcohol, tobacco,andotherdrugs.
The East Side Players,a community theatergroup, will also do a shortperformance before theplay begins. The goal ofthe ESP is to foster inter-est, appreciation, and par-ticipation in theater for awide range of individualsof all ages. They believethat the community bene-fits from seeing live thea-ter conveniently locatedin their neighborhoodstarring friends and fam-ily.
Registration for thisevent is encouraged andcan be done by stoppingby or calling the recrea-tion center’s front desk,(513) 745-8550. The doorsopen at 6:30 p.m. and thecurtain time is 7 p.m.
Blue Ash hosts ‘TravelingJekyll & Hyde Show’
On Ash Wednesday,Feb. 13, Ascension & HolyTrinity will be offering“Ashes to Go,” a new ap-proach to a centuries-oldChristian tradition, at thecorner of Burns and Wor-thington avenues in Wyo-ming at 3:30 p.m..
Ascension & Holy Trin-ity is part of a new nation-wide movement that hasclergy and lay people vis-iting transit stops, streetcorners, coffee shops, andcollege campuses to markthe foreheads of interest-ed passers-by with ashesand invite them to repent
of past wrongdoing andseek forgiveness and re-newal.
In the Christian tradi-tion, Ash Wednesdaymarks the start of the holyseason of Lent, a time forreflection and repentanceinpreparationfor thecele-bration of Easter. For cen-turies, Christians have re-ceived a cross of ashes onthe face at the beginningof that season as a remind-erofmortalfailingsandaninvitation to receive God’sforgiveness. Ashes to Goprovides the opportunityto participate in that tradi-
tion for people who havelost their connection to achurch, or havenever par-ticipated before.
"Our lives are increas-ingly busier and busier aswe meet the daily de-mandsof familyandwork.Ashes to Go helps us re-ceive God's forgiveness inthe midst of overflowingand hectic lives," the Rev.Eric L. Miller said.
