Mike Fremont crossed thefinish line of the Marshall Uni-versity Marathon last weekend,breaking a record that few willrival.

The 90 year-oldGlendale resi-dent ran the Nov. 11 race in6:35:47, breaking the previousUSA Track and Field record forthe 90-94 age bracket of 6:46:34,held by Ernest Van Leeuwen ofLos Angeles.

Andwhile he has little compe-tition in his age bracket, that’shis point.

Thoughhe trains forhis sport,it’s his lifestyle that he credits.

“The true key to what I can dois that I acknowledge a vegandiet,” he said. “I’ve been on itsince I had cancer at age 70.”

He was given threemonths tolive when he read “The CancerPrevention Diet,” by MichioKushi.

He followed it, beat cancer,and got healthy.

“I haven’t had a cold, head-ache or stomach ache sincethen,” the nonagenarian said. “Ifeel pretty much like a kid.”

He runs 35 miles a week,spread over three days. In warm

weather, he fills his off dayswithcanoeing.

Running is a sport he adoptedwhen hewas 36, shortly after hisfirst wife died and he was left toraise three young children on hisown.

“I was under considerablestress andbegan to run to relievethe stress,” he said. “It became ahabit.”

He has run in the BostonMar-athon, a race for which a runnermust qualify, 15 times. His mostrecentBostonMarathonwas justa few years ago, when he was 83.

“In order to do these endur-ance feats, especially at an oldage, you have to be healthy,” Fre-mont said. “The only possibleway to be healthy is to eat right.

“And to eat vegan.“It used to be sissified to say

you’re a vegetarian,” Fremontsaid, “but we live longer and wefight harder.

“We don’t quit.”

Not every heart procedure requires open-heart surgery. There are other, less disruptive ways

and we’re working to find them every day. TriHealth Heart Institute is the leader in minimally

invasive procedures. This means quicker and less painful recovery for our patients. It’s something

we’ve learned by doing over 7,000 procedures a year. Whether it’s a non-surgical procedure

or a robotic surgery, TriHealth Heart Institute uses an entire network of physicians, nurses and

technologists to coordinate care for the best possible outcome.

Oct. 28 brought theCincinnati Civic Orchestrato the Glendale Lyceum fora fall concert to open its84th season featuring aproduction themed, TheAmerican Civil War, OurHistory, OurMusic.

Glendale’s Donald E.Hoffman extendedme acordial invitation to attendin order to meet composer,Edward F. Howard. On thislovely afternoon, Ed pre-sented his score, “GlendaleSuite,” to the GlendaleHeritage Preservation.

Fellow violinist RichardSlaughter was connectedwith the planners of Glen-dale’s 2005 sesquicentenni-al and asked Ed to writemusic for the celebration.Ed says he happily un-dertook the opportunityand composed a tone (sym-phonic poem) for the occa-sion. Ed lives in NorthBend, so he asked Richardwhat Glendale is knownfor and used four conceptsin his Glendale Suite: thefamous black squirrels;Morgan’s Raiders drivingthrough Glendale in 1863,breaking into the railroaddepot and telegraphingfalse information to Uniontroops; the train bringingworkers home from theirday’s toil; and Glendale’shistoric gas lights. Ed doesnot know the origin of thispoem, but thinks it wouldmake a wonderful plaquefor the village:

“Over the village ofGlendale he tramps,

“Busily lighting, light-ing the lamps.

“Beneficent man whocarries the spark,

“Andbrightensfor all thegloom andthe dark.”

He be-gan writingthe suite inthe winterof 2004 andit was per-formed atthe trainstation

during the 2005 summerconcert for the village’s150th year anniversary.Most of the music is imagi-natively based on the notesG E DA and E. Add two L’sand an N and Glendale isspelled out.

The history of the suiteand of the Howards andHoffmans is a fascinatingstory. When I commentedon Ed’s Masonic pin, hetold me that he and Donare 33rd degreeMasonsand that their friendshipgoes back to kindergarten.Their wives are namedDona (with one n) andDonna. These ladies haveknown each other since theseventh grade and both aremusicians.

Ed has been a composersince attending TaylorHigh School where hewrote “Taylor High SchoolAlmaMater” in honor ofthe school. Earning a mas-ter of music degree incomposition/theory, hecleverly wrote “NorthBend Suite” for his thesisrather than an essay. Hisretirement after 37 yearsteaching music at ThreeRivers Local School Dis-trict in North Bend has not

dampened his ardor for amelody.

Former Glendale mayorThomas Todd was in officeduring the village’s sesqui-centennial celebrationwhen Ed’s score was origi-nally performed. He re-called that was the yearthe decorative squirrelswere placed around thevillage along with manyother noteworthy events,such as the antique carshow and the ball held atTownHall.

The resonance of mu-sical instruments tuningup signaled that the con-cert was about to begin.Dr. Toddmade the in-troduction that started theprogram. Cincinnati CivicOrchestra music directorLaurence Bonhaus madehis entrance and all stoodwith hands over hearts asthe orchestra played “TheStar Spangled Banner.”The concert was a smor-gasbord of compositionsincluding “Battle Hymn ofthe Republic;” “My OldKentucky Home” and“Beautiful Dreamer” byStephen Foster; “Mis-sissippi Suite” celebratingHuckleberry Finn, “OldCreole Days” and “MardiGras;” “American Salute”offering “When JohnnyComesMarching Home,”and of course, Ed’s won-derful “Glendale Suite.”

Delow Williams can’t remem-berwhenhe didn’t have a camerain hand.

For 27 years, he served withthe Glendale Police Department,as a patrol officer, chief andthrough a variety of other assign-

ments.When he got

his hands on adigital cameraabout 15 yearsago, he began tosnap pictures,nonstop.

“I’ve alwayscarried a camerawith me,” the re-

cently retired police officer said.“If something caught my eye, I’dtake a picture.”

About 50 of those photos areon display at the Glendale Heri-tage Preservation Museum, 44Village Square.

The exhibit, titled “The Sea-sons of Glendale,” was designedand assembled by Ariell Burrey,a Glendale resident and memberof GHP.

Some of the photos are color.Some are black and white. Mostare taken from the driver’s seatof the police cruiser.

All of the photos are glimpsesof everyday life in the village.

“My goal was to take picturesof what anyone would see at anytime in the village of Glendale,”Williams said. “It was from adriver’s perspective, on patrol.

“People live, work and play in-side Glendale,” he said, “but it’sthe wonderful, beautiful scenerythat you don’t see unless you stopand look.”

If something caught his eye,he’d grab the camera and take apicture.

“I wasn’t looking for the per-fect picture,” Williams said. “It’sjust plain, simple things that you

see in Glendale.”Things like theoldautogarage

on Albion Avenue. No longer inuse,hepulledalongside thebuild-ing one day and took a picture,with the cruiser reflected in theglass that read: “Glendale Ohio.Established 1855.”

A sort of self-portrait, he saidof the police car reflection.

Another photo captured com-munity spirit in the village.

After a Memorial Day paradeseveral years ago,Williams gath-ered the crowd for a contest tosee how many community mem-bers could fit in a photo promot-ing an upcoming Click It OrTicket campaign.

Parade-goers squeezed in fora colorful crowd shot.

“I climbed up on the War Me-morial for thatone,”hesaidof thephoto taken on Sharon Road,across from the fire station.

The museum exhibit, openThursdays and Saturdays, from11 a.m. to 3 p.m., offers a glimpseof Glendale through the years,from the perspective of a patrol-man chronicling the villagethrough the lens of his camera.

“If people slow down in lifejust a little bit,” Williams said,“you’d be amazed what you see.”

School work has metreal work at PrincetonCommunityMiddleSchool,through a program that en-courages students to usetheir imaginations, alongwith STEM lessons, to cre-ate and market products.

The program, throughSharonville-based Knova-tion, started in the class-room, where products andstrategies were estab-lished, and grade-levelwinners were chosen.

Students created aproduct, presented theidea, discussed marketingfor sales and shared theirjourney of innovation.

They used the conceptsof STEM: science, technol-ogy, engineering andmath,to develop their products.

Before they deliveredtheir presentations, theywatched video clips of“SharkTank,” aTV show inwhich inventors presenttheir products to a panel ofpotential investors.

The Princeton panel in-

cluded: School BoardPresident Steve Moore,Princeton Principal Wil-liam Sprankles, CarlaJohnson of the Universityof Cincinnati, and Knova-tion CEO Randy Wilhelm.

“We are sharing withkids thatwe are going to doinnovative things to buildself esteem and work to-ward their goals,” MiddleSchool Principal MarniDurham said of the pro-gram.

“Kids often strugglewith the purpose and rele-vancy of school.”

Students work groups,problem-solving with notextbook.

“We are teaching themthat failing is the way youlearn,” Durham said of theprocess.

A group from each ofthe three middle schoolgrades was chosen, withone named as overall win-ner.

Sixth-grade: Studentscreated the inside-out bur-ger, with ingredientsmixed inside before cook-ing, instead of being

topped afterwards.Those students will sell

the burgers at a Princetonsporting event.

Seventh-grade: Stu-dents fashioned lipsticktubes into earrings.

The University of Cin-cinnati offered $500 to-ward products needed tomake the earrings, so thestudents can sell the dou-ble-duty jewelry.

Eighth-grade: Studentscreated a drink containerwith a lid that holds food. Ahole drilled in the middlefits a straw for an all-in-one snack.

UC’s College of Design,Architecture, Art andPlanning will work withthe students to develop aprototype of the product,which was named overallwinner.

“We’re doing it everyquarter to encourage themto ve innovative, usingSTEM, to build their ownthings,” Durham said. “It’sa really cool class.”

Three dozen Wyoming HighSchool students woke up on a re-cent Monday morning, rolled outof their shanties, grabbed theirbackpacks and headed across thelawn, to class.

They had spent the night out-doors, in cardboard boxes they’dfashioned into shelters as part ofShantytown.

The project was designed togive students a small taste ofwhat it’s like to be homeless, toheighten awareness and compas-sion.

Angie Reichert-Hester, Wyo-ming Youth Services servicelearning coordinator, organizedthe program.

“We loveCincinnati, and this ispart of Cincinnati,” she said. “Wewant to knowwhat’s going on, andnot just go to the entertainmentdowntown, but meet the actualpeople and hear their story.”

Theweekendincludeda lessonin shopping with food stamps, in-formation sessions and a bus tripdowntown to a homeless shelter.

They walked from the highschool to Springfield Pike, andcaught theNo. 78 bus, the Spring-dale/Vine line.

The 49-minute ride to SixthandVinestreets included89stopsalong the way.

Danielle Rush, a junior, saidshe now has a greater apprecia-tion for those who rely on publictransportation.

“It’s crowded, slow,” she said.“It’s frustrating.”

When the group arrived down-town, they walked to the AnnaLouise Inn, which houses women.

That’s where they met resi-dents who weren’t unlike them,they found.

Some of the lessons learnedthat weekend surprised the stu-dents.

“I was shocked that you onlyget $1for ameal,”Danielle said ofthe experience, “and how littleyou can buy with it.”

Freshman Jena Robisonlearned that the little things mat-ter.

“There are ways you can helpthem,” she said, “so don’t be un-comfortable.”

“It’s really important to knowthere are ways to get involved,”Sara Washienko, a freshman,said. “You should be involved.”

“There are more homelesspeople than I thought,” JohnBrown said.

“People in poverty are thema-jority,” Emma King discovered.

And homelessness can happento anyone, the students learned.

“It takes a lot to get themthere,” Baily Discepoli, a fresh-man, said. “You don’t know theirstory.”

“It’s a big and tangled web,”Emma Klug said. “A lot of thingscan lead to homelessness.”

CORRYVILLE—Playingfor thefirst time in four years, Moellerand Colerain didn’t disappoint onNov. 17 with the Crusaders pre-vailing 24-21 over the previouslyundefeated Cardinals.

Even with a seemingly com-fortable 24-14 leadwith 4:24 togo,Colerain drove for a touchdownin 3:01 to get within a field goal.Known more for his running, Al-fred Ramsby completed a seriesof passes and eventually foundChris Davis from five yards outwith 1:23 remaining.

The Cards then executed anice-looking onside kick that TreHudson nearly recovered, butwas out of bounds.

Moeller then went to theirsteadydiet of runningbackKeithWatkins to ice thegameandmoveon to the Division I state semifi-nals.

“They’re No. 1 for a reason,” aGatorade-drenched Moellercoach John Rodenberg said. “Weknew they’d keep coming. I’mjust proud of our guys. We over-came a lot of adversity earlier inthe year.”

In the end, the load was hand-ed to Northwestern-bound KeithWatkins, who toted the loaf 32times for 203 yards and a touch-down. He ran outside, he ran in-side and ran with more power

than your average 180-pounder.“I just want to thank our

strength and conditioning coachfor gettingme in theweight roomand getting me stronger,” Wat-kins said. “We just wanted toshow them (Colerain) that wecould run tough too.”

The Crusaders led after onequarter on a Spencer Iacovonethree-yard run; then led at thehalf 10-7 on a Matt Reiniger 27-yard field goal. Theywent up17-7on a Max Foley 75-yard punt re-turn, but Colerain answered backwith a Chris Davis touchdown tomake it 17-14 at the end of three.

The Watkins touchdownwrapped up Moeller’s scoring at24-14 before the Cardinals madetheir late run that came up short.Colerain led time of possesion,26:25 to 21:35.

Holding up Moeller’s 14th re-gional trophy was Miami Hurri-cane-bound offensive linemanAlexGall. He is coached byDougRosfeld and formerMoeller headcoach Steve Klonne. Klonne re-turned to the Moeller fold as anassistant this season after a re-cent stint as head coach at McNi-cholas.

Moeller’s last regional titlewas under Klonne in 1997 whenthey made the state title game.Their last state championshipwas also on the Klonne watch in1985.

Now, Rodenberg has his ownhardware,with anassist fromtheold coach.

SHARONVILLE — At Prince-ton High School, the gym issure to be rocking with USA To-day All-American KelseyMitchell leading theway for theLady Vikings.

Mitchell returns as a two-time Greater Miami Confer-ence and District 16 Player ofthe Year.

Princeton head coach JillPhillips said the junior standoutis excited about the accolade,but added Mitchell remainshumble.

“...She continues to be thehardest-working kid on thecourt on offense and defense.Shecontinues tomakeeveryonearound her better,” Phillips toldGannett News Service.

Mitchell was second in theGMC last winner, averaging20.7 points per game. She alsoaveraged 3.4 assists.

Fortunately for Phillips, astrong cast of players will joinMitchell on the roster this sea-son. Emily Roper, ChelseaMitchell, Jada Ballew, JasmynHardin and Claire Pogue shouldall be key contributors through-out the season.

As a sophomore, Pogue aver-aged 6.2 points per game whileshooting 51.9 percent from thecenter position.

Freshman Markayla Sher-manandLaJessicaOlversonarealso expected to play varsitythis season, according to Phil-lips.

“I like the experience wehave coming back this year,”Phillps said. “…I think this teamis hungry to go out and performat the highest level everynight.”

Princeton begins playagainst Mercy Nov. 24.

Gerry Lackey takes over asWyoming, but he’s more thanfamiliar with the local land-scape having coached Mason toa state championship in 200.Over the course of his career hewon 12 conference champion-ships, four regional champion-ships, six district champion-ships and was league coach ofthe year eight times.

He won 279 games at Masonand 90 games at Mount NotreDame.

The Cowboys were 16-6 last

season and11-3 in theCincinnatiHills League for second place.

However, they lost a strongcast of seniors due to gradua-tion.

Among those Lackey will re-ly on this season are senior for-ward Morgan Cunningham, ju-nior guards Natalie Burchard,Kelsey Brunsman andKatie Se-na, junior forward Marta Stew-art, sophomore forward EmilyWadds and freshman guardAshli O’Neal.

Burchard returns with themost experience having playedin all of the games last season.She averaged 2.1 points and 1.3rebounds. Cunningham, Stew-art, Wadds and Brunsman allsaw limited time that should in-crease this season.

“The girls have worked hardin the off season,” Lackey said.“They are enthusiastic aboutcompeting for their first leaguetitle since 2008.”

Alsoon theCowboysroster isjunior forward Anna Kam-phaus, sophomore post TaylorLovejoy, sophomore guard Oli-via Munneke and freshman for-ward Haley Stewart.

Wyoming begins the seasonat Summit Country Day on Nov.26.

In St. Bernard, Roger BaconHighSchoolkicksoffanewsea-son with head coach Dave

Henke entering his first seasonat the helm of the Lady Spar-tans.

Henke said his team has sen-ior leadership that should helplead the squad’s younger play-ers.

Returning starters includeZhane Broomfield and TyraNichols. Lauren Krebs is alsoexpected to be a key contrib-utor.

The Lady Spartans open theseason playing at CincinnatiCountry Day Nov. 26.

In Blue Ash, Ursuline Acad-emy returns under head coachand former UC great KeithStarks, who returns a strongcore of returning players thathelped the Lions advance to thedistrict finals last winter.

Key contributors should in-cludeSarahReillyAli Schirmer,Violet Goodwin and MichelleChristy and Christy Miller.

As a sophomore, Reilly wastheLions leading scorer. She av-eraged 12.1 points, while alsograbbing 8.1 rebounds pergame.

Starks likes his squad’s re-turning experience and be-lieves the Lions’ speed andquickness can lead to victoriesthis winter.

Ursuline tips off the seasonagainst Sycamore at CincinnatiState Nov. 24.

If walking down the stairs,taking a shower or even enter-ing the house becomes difficultfor you or someone you love, itmay be time to create a plan tokeep your home a safe place tolive.

In Hamilton County alone,falls are the third leading causeof injury-related deaths amongsenior adults over 65. And thechances of falling and beingseriously injured in a fall in-crease with age.

Seniors in our communitywant to stay in the comfort oftheir home where they havelived for a long time, in neigh-borhoods they cherish. In orderto remain safely in the home,it’s essential to develop a solidplan now to allow a betterchance to control the quality oflife and independence, beforecircumstances suddenlychange.

A good first step is to consulta certified aging in place spe-cialist to help and offer connec-tion to other services and part-ners that may be needed. This

is also an op-portunity tolessen theburden onfamily mem-bers by out-lining howneeds will bemet.

Some of thedecisions toconsider in-

clude:» How long you plan to re-

main at home.» If you need major home

remodeling or just a fewchanges, like ramps or grabbars.

» The quality and price ofthe home modifications youmay need.

» What your wishes are formajor life events like suddenillness or disability.

» Personal support (balanc-ing work and family responsi-bilities of care giving).

Unsure of where to start?First, start at the curb and con-sider how you enter the home.

Next, walk through your houseor the home of a loved one toassess risk factors and ways toprevent them. Here are somequick tips:

Make sure the entrance iswell lit. Review how easy it is toenter or exit the home, espe-cially for people with mobilityissues.

Consider adding a ramp tohelp with access but be sure tofollow your local building code.

Ensure proper lighting

throughout the house both in-side and outside. Add auto-onlighting in the hallways andbathrooms.

Clear unnecessary clutterfrom any walking areas insideand outside the home.

Add grab bars, tub matts,and non-skid matts in and nextto the tub and shower.

Install a flip-down grab baror floor-to-ceiling pole next tothe toilet.

Add a hand-held shower

wand and holder, adjustableseat and safety rails.

Consider replacing existinghinges with off-set hinges tocreate wider doorways; replacedoor knobs with levers.

Use a step stool with a han-dle to reach in cabinets.

Keep frequently used itemsin a drawer or easy to reacharea.

Remove loose carpet or rugsthat can cause trips.

The statistics are startling.Every 15 seconds, an olderadult is seen in an emergencydepartment for a fall-relatedinjury. The good news is youcan help prevent falling andother safety risks by taking afew simple steps to keep your-self or an older adult in yourlife safe.

Nov. 14 questionDo you think Congress will be

able to work out a deal to avoidthe upcoming ‘fiscal cliff,’ the ex-piration of almost every tax cutenacted since 2001 and the first$110 billion of $1.2 trillion inspending cuts set tooccurover10years. Why or why not?

“Yes, Congress and the presi-dent will work out a deal to avoidgoing over the fiscal cliff. It is inno one’s interest to allow the in-discriminate cuts that sequestra-tion involves and to let us sinkinto another recession. Theymay‘punt’ this into early next year,but theycanalwaysmake legisla-tion retroactive back to the be-ginning of the year. So we reallydon’t plungeoff the cliff on Jan.1.

“Much more serious than theshort-termcliffare the long-termfinancial challenges that our na-tion faces. Massive annual defi-cits over the last four years haveled to a huge increase in the na-tionaldebt.Unprecedentedprint-ing of the dollar by the FederalReserve has facilitated thisspending and borrowing binge(some the of the printed moneywas used to buy the treasurydebt). The Social Security retire-ment, disability, and Medicareprograms are all unsustainableas more and more of us babyboomers get sick and retire.

“We need politicians with thecourage to start solving thesedif-ficult problems for the good ofthe nation. Unfortunately, to thispoint we have mostly had politi-cians who are more concernedwith their next election and withthe interests of their party. I praythat this will change.”

T.H.

“Doubtful. As the richest peo-ple in our land, why change?America re-elected them to keepon doing whatever it is they do.”

K.P.

“No, I don’t. The Democratswant more money to spend with-out making cuts, and the Repub-licanswant thecuts, but fail tono-tice the huge debt the presidenthad incurred.

“Perhaps if President Obamatook time to notice what is goingon in Europe he might not feel sostrongly about entitlements andsocialized medicine. Unless hequits spending money he doesn’t

have the U.S.A. is doomed.”J.K.

“We will if the Republicans inCongress start doing their jobsinstead of angling for re-elec-tion.”

E.M.S.

“Congress should pass thefairtax to just start this econo-my.”

S.B.B.

“I seriously doubt it. The peo-plewhocreated thismessarestillvery much in control, and theydon’t show signs of being willingto admit their mistakes and/orcompromise (as in ‘It’s allGeorgeBush’s fault’).

“I don’t know what’s ahead,but there isprecious little Icandobut pray.”

Bill B.

“The question is whether theRepublicans learned anythingfrom the shellacking they justtook. If youwant tobeabully, youhave tobestronger than theotherguy.TheRepublicansarenot, andif they want to be around in thenext election they will compro-mise and be smarter. If not, weare just as well quit of them.”

N.F.

“When you look at the twonumbers, 1.2 trillion and 110 bil-lion, you realize that just the 1.2trillion part of the former isgreater than the 110 billion totalof the latter, or just under 10 per-cent. While 10 percent per yearfor10years lookspromising,gov-ernment must also reckon withthe interest on the debt, meaning110 billion isn’t adequate to re-duce the principle. Despite thatbeing just a half-hearted effort atdebt reduction, I believe it willstill be too difficult for the White

House and Congress to reach anagreement that will ultimatelybenefit the taxpayer.”

“The president owes toomuchin promises to the non-taxpayerstoeverkeephispromiseswithoutraising taxes on most taxpayers,wealthy or not. Besides the enti-tlement groups there are the col-lege students and those withmortgages they cannot pay.There’s no free lunch, free healthcare, free tuition or free housepayments despite the commonbelief to the contrary.”

R.V.

“I don’t think Congress will beable to work it out. “Based on thepast obstruction of the Tea Party/Liberty Alliance faction of theGOP to the Grand Bargain thatBoehner and Obama had ham-mered out ($3 in entitlement cutsfor every $1of raised taxes) I justdon’t think the GOP will be will-ing to go along with anything.

“Maintaing a obstinant stanceseems tobe their currentmodeofgoverning,whichwill continue tocripple the country and be thereason the economy will slow.

“I think it was embarrassingto Boehner as speaker of theHouse that he couldn’t get hisown party in line to accept thedeal he helped broker. I don’t seethat changing. In fact, the talkthat some in the GOP want to seeBoehner replaced for someonemore hard line, and non-compro-mising seems to indicate that theGOP wants to drive the countryover the fiscal cliff.”

I.P.

“It would be good if theydidn’t! To go back to tax andspending rates of 2001 when BillClinton handed GWB a budgetwith a surplus would be excel-lent. We need a ‘peace dividend’now thatwe are out of Iraq and aswe leave Afghanistan. The richhavemoneytospare, andI’drath-er they sent it to the IRS than toPACs – which has just beenproven to be a huge waste.

“Fromabudgetwithasurplus,the president andCongress coulddebate how best to spend the sur-plus – on SS, Medicare, infra-structure ... they are far better atspending than saving, so, let’sforce the saving and allow a littlebit of spending.”

Amtrak has a problemwith money.

Somehow, with a captiveaudience in a big, metal boxhurtling down the tracks at80 miles an hour for days onend, the passenger rail com-pany still manages to find a

way to losemoney sell-ing food andbeverages.Lots of it.And taxpay-ers are pick-ing up thetab.

Nearly ayear ago, Iintroduced abill in theHouse that

would require Amtrak toenact money saving mea-sures in the way it serves upfood and beverages.

My bill would require theFederal Railroad Admini-stration to seek competitivebids. Amtrak would be al-lowed to compete with out-side companies in bidding toprovide food and beverages.

If Amtrak can’t halt itsdeficit spending, it wouldhave to locate and hire aqualified contractor with aproven record of reliabilityin providing food serviceaboard passenger trains. Foryears, the airlines have con-tracted this facet of theirbusiness to companies thatknow the food and cateringbusiness and are adept atrunning a profitable en-terprise.

This is not rocket science.You’d think that selling a

hot dog for $4.50 wouldmake losing money a littledifficult, but Amtrak losesabout $85 million a year onits food and beverage ser-vice alone.

In testimony earlier thismonth, Amtrak InspectorGeneral Ted Alves estimatedthat management of the U.S.

passenger rail system is soslipshod that almost anyonewanting to swipe food ormoney from the train can doso. In his prepared testimo-ny, Alves said Amtrak mightbe losing between $4 millionand $7 million in cash andpilfered food.

The culprit here isn’t justsomeone with sticky fingers;it’s a command structure atAmtrak that doesn’t care.These losses are built intoAmtrak’s procedures – howthe passenger rail companychooses to do business. Apassenger rail enterpriseshould support itselfthrough ticket sales, foodservice, and other opportuni-ties to bring in revenue fromtravelers.

Amtrak has been requiredsince Oct. 1, 1982, to breakeven or make money on itsfood and beverage service.In the nearly 30 years sincethen, Amtrak has not oncecomplied with the federallaw.

According to the inspec-tor general, the real moneypit is on the long-distancetrains, where 90 percent ofthe losses occur.

It would be convenient –and wrong – to blame Am-trak’s money problems on afew larcenous miscreants.It’s more than a few. Theinspector general foundmore than 900 instances oftheft and dishonesty. While$7 million is not petty larce-ny, it does not begin to ex-plain an annual financialshortfall of $85 million.

Amtrak and its manage-ment are responsible for thismess, and it is time for themto put a stop to runawaydeficit spending.

Yesterday I was sortingthrough the boxes of out-door lights for our treesand wondering if we’regoing to have to purchase

more lights.The treeshave grownquite a bitsince lastyear, in-cluding asmall pot-ted ever-green thatRonWilsonof Natorp’s,our garden

guru, gave me. I may putthat one on the sideboardin the kitchen.

The holidays really arefast approaching, aren’tthey? Hanukkah, Christ-mas, Boxing Day andKwanzaa are all times tocelebrate family, friendsand food. I’ll be sharingmy best recipes, alongwith yours, so send yourfaves to me along with thestory of why the recipe isspecial.

Stovetop turkey potpie

What to do with thatleftover turkey? Make apot pie. This works wellwith chicken, too. Depend-ing upon how your turkeywas seasoned to beginwith, you may need moregarlic, thyme, etc.

3 cups cooked turkey orchicken, diced

1⁄2 pound hot sausage,cooked

1⁄2 stick butter1⁄3 cup flour1 teaspoon garlic

1⁄4 teaspoon dried thyme14.5 oz. can chicken broth ormore, if needed

2⁄3 cupmilkSalt and pepperPeas and carrots, as many asyou like

Good optional add-ins:sliced mushrooms,potatoes, etc.

Melt butter and stir inflour. Cook to get the rawtaste of the flour out, butdon’t let brown. Add gar-lic, thyme, broth and milk.Cook, whisking constantly,until slightly thickened. Itwill look a bit lumpy at

first, but will smooth out.Add turkey, sausage andvegetables. Cook untilheated through, about10-15 minutes. Season totaste. Ladle over hotbaked biscuits that you’vesplit into two, or into puffpastry shells that you’vebaked ahead. You can alsoput the filling in a pieplate or casserole, cut outa puff pastry or pie doughtop to fit and pre-bake thetop. Lay on top of casse-role to serve.

To finish in oven:Pour mixture after it’s

cooked into a sprayed,

shallow casserole. Topwith pie crust and bake at425 degrees until goldenbrown. You can also bakeit with a biscuit topping.Follow directions for bak-ing biscuits and use thattemperature: Put the bis-cuits on top of the pie andbake.

LimoncelloThis Italian lemon

liqueur is an elegant addi-tion to your party or din-ner drink offerings, but isexpensive to buy. Thegreat thing about this is itkeeps just about forever

in the freezer. SometimesI’ll mix limes and lemonstogether. Make now forgift giving. Check out myblog for photos.

2 generous pounds lemons,thick-skinned

4 cups good quality vodka3 cups sugar3 cups water

Pour vodka in largeglass jar. Remove peelfrom lemons with a vege-table peeler. Take off all ofthe pith – that’s the whitepart – from the peel as it isreally bitter. If you can’tget it all off, do the best

you can. Place peel in jarwith vodka and cover. Letsit at room temperaturefor at least one week.Some recipes recommenda dark place. I like to leaveit out on my counter justto see the color changeand smell the lemon aro-ma when I open the jar.The vodka will take on thecolor and flavor of thelemon as it steeps. You canleave the lemon peels inthe vodka for a few weeks.Now bring the sugar andwater to a simmer and stiruntil sugar dissolves andthickens a bit. Let cool andthen add that to vodkamixture and stir. Strainand put in pretty bottles.Seal and chill a month inrefrigerator (or a coupleweeks in freezer) beforeusing. To use, servestraight over ice chips,mix with sparkling wineor mineral water and alemon curl, toss with freshfruit, serve over icecream, frozen yogurt orsimple cake.

When paying for some-thing on the Internet, it’svery important to protectyourself just in case youdon’t get what you’ve or-dered.

Unfortunately, all toooften consumers use theirdebit card and end upgetting burned.

That’s what happened toTonya Coffey of FairfieldTownship, who needs tostay in touch with her28-year-old daughter. Herdaughter has been in pris-on for the past year and a

half andstays con-nected tothe familyby tele-phone.

“Themain factorhere is shehas a31⁄2-year-olddaughter

that we have. For her sakewe want to maintain thatcommunication. That’sreally important to us andit’s important to her. She

has a mommy and wants totalk to her,” Coffey said

Trying to save moneyon pre-paid calls fromprison, Coffey saw an adfrom a company claimingit could save her big mon-ey on such calls. “Theyresponded quickly after Imade my $194 payment. Isubscribed to a two-yearplan,” Coffey said.

But Coffey ran intotrouble with the jail’s reg-ular phone network whenshe tried to use this newcompany’s service. “Thejail’s phone network askedme a lot of questions Icouldn’t answer. So theywould not permit me tohave an account,” Coffeysaid.

The company Coffeypaid advertised a 100 per-cent money-back guaran-tee. But although shewrote them seeking arefund, she didn’t get it.Then she wrote them shehad contacted me and thatgot her a reply.

“They did sendme ane-mail back saying theywere having trouble withtheir claims processor,with technical issues, torefund the money and theywould be getting back tome. That was the last cor-respondence I got,” Coffeysaid.

Coffey got that re-sponse back in June andsays now she can’t evenreach the company byphone. “That’s no longer inoperation. Any email that I

now send them comes backundeliverable,” she said.

Unfortunately, Coffeypaid this company with herdebit card so the moneycame right out of her bankaccount. She didn’t use acredit card because shedidn’t have one. But ifyou’re planning on buyingsomething over the In-ternet, you need to have acredit card so you candispute the charge with thecredit card company. Inthis case, since Coffeydidn’t get the serviceclaimed – and failed to getthe promised refund – shecould have received hermoney from a credit cardcompany.

If you can’t qualify for acredit card, that should notstop you. You can get asecured credit card from alocal bank. For instance,one local bank charges $24per year for such a cardand allows you to depositas little as $300 into a sav-ings account at the bank.Your credit line will be tiedto the amount of money inyour savings account.

The bank charge isrelatively modest whenyou consider the protec-tion it offers should youneed to buy somethingover the Internet.

The dictionary defines“spirit” as a particularmoodor anemotional statecharacterized by vigorand animation, but afterlast month’s Spirit Con-vention at Camp CampbellGard in Hamilton, nearly200 Jewish teenagerswould say that BBYO istheir definition of spiritand fun.

This program gavehigh school students fromCincinnati, Columbus,Dayton, Indianapolis andLouisville a chance tocome together for a week-end of competition andcamaraderie to show theirpride in their cities. Chap-ters faced-off in an Olym-pic-style contest with thecoveted “Spirit Stick” be-ing awarded as the grandprize to the victors.

“Spirit Convention isjust one of many opportu-nities Jewish teens fromaround the region have toshare fun and meaningfulexperiences with one an-other throughout theschool year,” explainsKIOBBYO regional directorJosh Rothstein.

“Iwas oneof the coordi-nators of a BBYO regionalconvention back in the‘70s,” said Marsha Rob-bins. It taught me early onhow to manage people andgave me hands-on experi-ence running committeemeetings, planning bud-gets and creating pro-grams. I went on to be-come the president of Hil-lel at my university andwas active in student gov-ernment on campus. IcreditBBYOforgivingmethe experience and confi-dence I needed to be aleader, something thatcontinues to servemewellto this day.”

This year’s Spirit Con-vention was coordinatedby Zach Samuelson fromCincinnati and Halle Her-man from Columbus, whoalong with their steeringcommittee put lots of cre-ativity and thought intoevery detail of the week-end, from themenus to theactivities and everythingin between.

“This year’s theme wasthe KIOlympics,” Samuel-son said. “Everyoneshowed their utmost dedi-cation and loyalty to theirchapters by competingand cheering their heartsout”

Spirit Convention isjust one example of the nu-merous activities and pro-grams that BBYO puts onthroughout the year. Withmore than 30,000 mem-bers and 250,000 alumni,BBYO is the leading plu-ralistic Jewish youth or-ganization in the world,giving teens across theglobeachance to strength-en their Jewish identityand connections to Jewishlife through local, region-al, national and interna-tional programs, conven-

tions, leadership training,summer camp, travel toother countries and Israeland more.

BBYO’s broad programmenu enables teens to ex-plore areas of leadership,service and civic engage-ment, Israel education,and Jewish valueswith theexpectation that they willexhibit positive attitudesand behaviors about beingJewish while maintainingthe values and relation-ships that strengthen theJewish people.

In Cincinnati, city di-rector Matt Steinberghelps teens plan eventslike the Reality TV MashUp, which took place inpartnershipwith Adath Is-rael’s USY chapter, as wellas Shabbat dinners, slee-povers, weekly meetingsand more.

“While BBYO puts onlots of fun social events,we also stress the impor-tance of social action andsocial justice programs,such asCincinnati BBYO’sannual Occupy the JCCevent. Last year for exam-ple, about 80 teens spentthe night at the MayersonJCC to raise awareness foranti-bullying andwe antic-ipate even more will ‘Oc-cupy the JCC` when wehost this event again thiscoming January,” Stein-berg said.

Nextup forBBYOis theKIO Regional ConventioninCincinnati inDecember,where the new 2013 Re-gional Board will be elect-ed. Hundreds of Jewishteens are expected to at-tend.

To learnmore about theupcoming Regional Con-vention and BBYO in gen-eral, contact Steinberg at(513) 722-7244 or [email protected] is open to those cur-rently in eighth- through12th-grade.

Evendale is officiallyopposing action by thestate legislature regardingits income tax collection.

Council unanimouslyopposed House Bill 601,which would set uniformrules for income tax collec-tion by municipalities, andbelieves it overlooks howmunicipalities collect tax-es, according to the resolu-tion.

It also states that thebillcontains "language that isdetrimental to the financialstability of municipalities,"including unfunded man-dates and hindering smallgovernments to collect tax-es effectively.

CindyVaske, tax admin-istrator for Evendale, saidthe bill as written could re-duce revenue for the vil-lage while transferringsome control it has over itstax collection to the statelevel.

While the state still hasto havehearings on the bill,Vaske said it was intro-duced somewhat recentlyand has moved throughcommittees and the housefairly fast.

Council also extended

the village's contract forthreemoreyearswith Inte-grys Energy Services fornatural gas aggregation.Evendale had been in alock-in flex down program,whereapricewas locked toprotect from rising gasprices but would drop asthe market did, said JackCameron, assistant to themayor.

The village is going theway of many other munici-palities in the area andchoosing the hybrid pro-

gram, which combines thelock-in flex down programresidents are used to, withthe monthly variable pro-gram.

Integrys will lock in aprice during high usagemonths, allow the rate fol-low the market in the sum-mer and lock another priceagain in the winter, Camer-on said.

Many people have seenthe Liberty Mutual Insur-ance “Responsibility” tele-visioncommercials featur-ing individuals doing gooddeeds for others after wit-nessing a stranger doingsomething helpful forsomeone else.

Cancer Support Com-munity (formerly TheWellness Community) sawit happen in real life when35 local Liberty Mutualemployees from the Fair-field office left their ownwork at the office to eachspend five hours volun-teering at the non-profitcancer support organiza-tion, helping with essentiallandscaping and interiorand exterior cleaning andmaintenance chores.

The two-day serviceprojectwas part of a globaleffort called “Serve withLiberty” organized by theinsurance company to cel-ebrate its 100th anniversa-ry. LibertyMutual employ-ees around the world wereencouraged to participatein the project and permit-ted to take time off on ei-ther June 21 or 22 to serveat a nonprofit organiza-tion.

Worldwide, “Serve withLiberty” resulted in 25,000people from 19 countriesproviding 106,000 hours ofservice to 760 differentcharities.

In Greater Cincinnati,approximately 700 LibertyMutual employees tookpart, choosing from ser-vice projects at nearly 50pre-approvednonprofit or-ganizations.

At Cancer SupportCommunity, 20 Liberty

Mutual employees workedon landscaping andgrounds keeping projectsin the sweltering heat forfive hours June 21and then15 more employees spentfive hours June 22 doing a“deep clean” inside.

According to CSC’s di-rector of developmentBet-ty Cookendorfer, the helpwasmuch needed and veryappreciated.

“We have a beautiful fa-cility here in Blue Ashwhich provides a comfort-able, relaxing, home-likeenvironment where peoplewith cancer and their

loved ones can come forsupport groups, education-al programs, and healthylife style classes like TaiChi and yoga that help re-lieve the stress that fight-ing cancer can present,”Cookendorfer said. “But it

can be a lot to maintain fora non-profit with a verysmall staff, so having somany committed volun-teers from Liberty Mutualwilling to provide so manyhours of hard work is ahuge help for us.”
