GREEN TWP. — Joe and CotyDance have a large family oftheir own to look after, but stillfind a way to give of their timefor others every week.

“They are truly neighborswho care – not just for a mo-ment, but in the way they livetheir lives each and every day,”Green Township resident EvyFinegan said in her nominationof the Bridgetown couple.

“I am certain that I am onlyone of hundreds whose liveshave been touched by their gen-erous hearts.”

Finegan said many years agowhen her husband was ill andshe was working, Joe and Cotytook him to his doctor appoint-ments.

“After he died, they knew Ihad no family here in Cincinnatiand included me in all of theirholiday celebrations,” Finegansaid. “They made me feel like amember of their family. Beingconsidered part of their familywas a precious gift after such adifficult loss.”

She said when she had a sur-gery, she would wake to find Co-ty sitting by her hospital bed be-cause she didn’t want to her tobe alone.

“Last October, I had a medi-cal emergency while attendinga college reunion in Richmond,Indiana,” Finegan said. “Guesswho drove to Richmond on aSunday morning with what hadto have been very little notice?Coty and Joe wanted to be surethat I was OK and could make itsafely back to Cincinnati.”

Mr. and Mrs. Dance, whohave four children, 10 grand-children and 10 great-grandchil-dren, modestly said they don’tthink they do anything special

for their neighbors. “We just try to help people if

they need it,” Mr. Dance said. “With the world we live in to-

day, we all had better becomemore concerned about ourneighbors and the people in ourcommunity.”

Young Covedaleneighbor never hesitates to help

COVEDALE — Diane Schulzdescribes her neighbor AnthonyComarata Jr. as a kindheartedyoung man who is always will-ing to lend a hand.

“From a young boy to a fineyoung man, he has grown andhelped me throughout theyears,” Schulz said in the nomi-nation she submitted for Neigh-bors Who Care.

“He has been helping me

with my yard and various workaround the house for approxi-mately seven years now.”

Comarata, who goes by AJ, isan Elder High School graduatewho is now a sophomore financestudent at Xavier University.

Schulz said, without hesita-

tion, he cuts her grass, rakes herleaves and every week takes hergarbage cans to and from thecurb.

“Every time it snows he isright there with a snow shovel inhand and shovels my sidewalksand driveway – and I have a verylong driveway,” she said.

“He tells me to call if I needanything at all. He does all ofthese things out of the kindnessof his heart, not for money.”

The apple doesn’t fall fromthe tree, Schulz said, as AJ’s par-ents, Tony and Michelle, takeover for their son when he’s un-able.

“They watch my home whenI am away and make sure all iswell. They are always ready tolend a helping hand,” she said.“It’s easy to see where AJ getshis compassion for others andshares a sense of communitywith those around us.”

Comarata said ever since hewas a kid his family has been

NeighborsContinued from Page A1

MOORMAN FAMILY, CLEVESNominated by Jim and Helena Foster“We have been friends and neighborssince July 2008, but never realized exactlyhow thoughtful and caring our neigh-bors could be until illness stuck andcaused my husband to need a majorsurgery. In years past if help was neededthe Moormans were always eager tohelp. The level of help far exceeded ourexpectations when the illness to myhusband reared its ugly head. Visits to seemy husband in the hospital were fol-lowed by daily phone calls upon myhusband’s return home. The Moormanswere eager with their offers to cook,clean or simply run errands.“On one occasion I mentioned, in pass-ing, that I would need an extensionladder in the spring, less than 10 minuteslater, the ladder as well as the Moormanswere in my foyer eager to help. Meredays after tackling the cobwebs in thefoyer, the Moormans were busy aeratingour yard on a less than perfect Saturdayafternoon. Anyone with much of a mem-ory will remember our surprise with anearly snow fall. The snow was less of aninconvenience for us as The Moormanstackled our snow removal without amoment’s hesitation. They did allow us topay them with nothing greater than asimple hug!”

LISA FIEGER, JULIE AND DAVESCHMITT, HARRY AND SUNNYWILLMAN, DOUG JACKSON,STEVE AND MARY PAT DRAUD,JANET KORTE, CHRIS PETERSON,WESTERN HILLSNominated by Teresa Kassamali“Lisa lives directly across the street frommy Dad and can regularly see the com-ings and goings of my father. She has her‘ear to the ground’ when it comes toactivity at my Dad’s home. If she does notsee him for a day, she will call to check inwith him. Lisa’s children entertain Dadwith their many antics and always makehim laugh. Although Lisa is one of thebusiest people I know, she still providesmany a hot meal for my Dad. Oh, howmuch he likes that!“Julie and Dave Schmitt live next door tomy Dad. Julie, ‘The Flower Lady,’ was thefirst neighbor at Dad’s house when myMom died. Julie loves flowers, can namethem in their common form and also intheir Latin botanical name. Every year sheplants flowers for my Dad...and managesto water them all summer too!“Harry and Sunny Willman also live acrossthe street. You have never met a kinderman than Harry. Harry can fix absolutelyanything. He brings my Dad his paperevery morning.“Dad loves to hear stories of Doug andRobin’s children. Doug can make youlaugh with his sly sense of humor. Robin,his wife, checks on my Dad and too haswalked many a meal and many a yummysweet down to Dad’s house.“Steve Draud and my dad are lunchbuddies too – often they take a leisurelydrive down to Indiana to find a quaintplace for lunch. Steve takes out my Dad’sgarbage every week. Mary Pat bakes amean cheesecake too!

“Janet Korte has lived many many yearson North Glen too. She and Dad haverunning conversations on the merits orlack thereof of animals of the felinepersuasion!“Chris Peterman has fit into the mix withsuch ease. Chris too makes sure my Dadgets his newspaper. No walking re-quired!”

KEN AND BETH WILHELMUS,BRIDGETOWNNominated by Jennifer and Scott Brown“In addition to being genuinely kind andfriendly every time they see people (andanimals), they are always the first ones tostep in to help anyone who needs any-thing. One neighbor had a large amountof wood to haul to the backyard. Inminutes Ken was pitching in. Beth left anerrand she was running to help sew up atorn homecoming dress for one of ourdaughter’s friends so she could make thedance on time.“We came home from vacation to findour kitchen table refinished for us. In-credibly good food that they have pre-pared ends up making its way to ourhouse on occasion. They are willing tonot only watch other family’s kids, butalways go out of their way to make it agreat adventure for the kids as well.“Ken frequently volunteers to watch andwalk multiple dogs. It is not uncommonto see him with four to five dogs goingup and down the street. He will alsocome and get our dog when we are atwork to let her play in his yard. Ken andBeth take care of our dog when we goout of town and make her feel like partof their family. They open their homeand hearts to humans and animals alikedaily.”

She also collects my garbage cansand recycle bin and brings them down tothe garage. She will get my mail if we areboth outside and she asks me if it’s OK toget it.“When I wake up with snow on mydriveway Bob has either already cleanedit off or is still working on it with histractor. They will also watch and feed mycat whenever I am gone and watch myhouse also.”

SCHOOLSSCHOOLSACHIEVEMENTS | NEWS | ACTIVITIES | HONORS CommunityPress.com

WESTERN HILLSPRESSEditor: Richard Maloney, rmaloney@communitypress.com, 248-7134

La Salle High School» La Salle High School has

named Bill Zoz as the school’snew director of annual giving.

Zoz, a 1979 La Salle graduate,retired this year as Delhi Town-ship fire chief. He began at LaSalle Dec. 1.

“We are extremely excited tohave Bill Zoz as a part of the LaSalle Advancement Office,”said Matt Dierkers, director ofadvancement for La Salle.“Bill’s commitment and passionto give back to his alma mater isvery evident as he starts his sec-ond career.

Zoz said the opportunity togive back is what attracted himto the job.

“The La Salle community, forthe most part, shaped who I amand what I’ve been able to do inmy career,” Zoz said. “I cantrace a lot of things I do todayand who I am back to those highschool days when I was at LaSalle.”

Zoz will be responsible forplanning, implementing andevaluating an annual givingprogram, including direct mail,e-giving, restricted campaignsand personal solicitations fromalumni, friends, parents andpast parents of the school.

Zoz grew up in Groesbeck,attended St. Ann Grade School,where he met his wife, Barb, inthe second-grade. He started asan on-call firefighter for Cole-rain Township Fire departmentin 1980, was hired as a careerfirefighter/paramedic in WestChester in 1984, as a lieutenantin Colerain Township in 1989,and was eventually promoted todivision chief of training andsafety in 2001. He was namedDelhi Township Fire Chief in2007. He retired at the end ofNovember. He has a Bachelor ofScience degree in businessmanagement from the Univer-sity of Phoenix, Cincinnati cam-pus.

“I am looking to make it easi-er for young men to be able tocome to La Salle to get an educa-tion,” Zoz said. “I think betweenengaging the alumni and givingthem a reason to give back tothe school in either time, talentsor treasures, that’s critical tothe school. I’m just looking tomake sure we can make avail-

able to as many young men aspossible a Catholic education,specifically a Lasallian educa-tion. We can do that by bolster-ing the annual fund.”

Bill and Barb live in ColerainTownship and attend St. AnnParish. They have two daugh-ters, Emily 27, and Kate, 21.They both attended McAuleyHigh School.

» For the sixth time in 29years, La Salle Drama will beperforming a full-length showat the state Thespian Confer-ence.

“The Wedding Singer” waschosen by state adjudicators tobe performed in its entirety forthe conference in Bexley inMarch. While drama is not acompetitive event, the invita-tion to the conference is therough equivalent of winning astate title.

”This is huge – a big honor,”said Monica Williams-Mitchell,incoming director of perform-ing arts. “Drama isn’t a compet-itive event like basketball orfootball, but this is similar tomaking the state championshipin terms of recognition and hon-or.”

Starring La Salle senior KyleMartini and McAuley seniorEva Weber, the show also fea-tures La Salle seniors Ryan Dur-kin and Daemon Bertke, McAu-ley senior Claire Tankersleyand a cast of nearly 40 addition-al dancers and singers.

Long-time director ConnieSaho has taken five other full-length shows to the state levelover the years. This show is spe-cial as it marks her last show be-fore she retires from the activedirectorship of the La Salle pro-gram.

She might be stepping backfrom the program, but it is con-tinuing full force with her en-thusiastic support. While thecast and crew of “The WeddingSinger” will have periodic re-hearsals between now andMarch, the program will mountits annual children’s PeanutButter and Jelly Theatre pro-duction Jan. 17 and 18. Saho willcontinue to direct the school’sannual Passion Play, performedannually during Holy Week.

Tickets for the Peanut Butterand Jelly show can be orderedby downloading the form avail-

able at www.lasallehs.net/dra-ma.

McAuley High School» During October, McAuley

High School collected donationsfrom students and employeesfor the National Breast CancerCoalition. McAuley showed sup-port for this organization’s goalto know how to cure breast can-cer by Jan. 1, 2020. It is fittingthat an all-girls school supportthis cause. The total donationwas $1,167.

On Nov. 13, a special eventcalled Dance Away Breast Can-cer, complete with Zumba in-structor Greg Insco, was heldafter school. The money raised,a total of $363, was given toAmerican Cancer Society, andearmarked for breast cancerresearch and treatment.

» Twenty McAuley HighSchool students in the LifetimeFitness class reached newheights, literally, as they en-joyed a field trip to the Univer-sity of Cincinnati to go rockclimbing. Lifetime Fitness isone of two physical educationelectives offered at McAuleyHigh School; the other is Out-door Adventures and Activities.

The choir submit-ted a recording of “The Night ofSilence” which was sung simul-taneously with “Silent Night.”The song was on Q102’s websitefor three days, along with sub-missions from nine otherschools, giving listeners an op-portunity to vote for their favor-ite song.

The 15-student choir gath-ered together with their teacherDoug Donoghue to listen for theon-air announcement that theyhad won!

“We were thrilled and grate-

ful”, Donoghue said. “This issuch a great program. Music isso important to developing thewhole child, and this programgives middle school students aplatform to share their talent.”

Later that day, Jeff and Jen,from the popular Q102 morningshow, presented a check for$5,000 to the choir group. It wasour pleasure, ” said Jen Jordanat the check presentation. Heron-air partner Jeff Thomas add-ed, “It is part of the reason welike this time of year so much.”

Meaning of Christmasforgotten

Our Lady of Lourdes Church,2832 Rosebud Lane (near MuddyCreek and Glenway Avenue), wasbroken into for the fourth time,The Rev. David Sunberg an-nounced to parishioners.

A couple weeks ago, the deci-sion was made that our parishcould no longer support keepingthe donations box for the poor upin the church because each time abreak in occurred at least $700 indamage was done. This time thecriminals, who previously stolefrom the poor box, did not findany money to steal so they movedto the nearby school buildingcalled Saint Bernadette’s Hall andkicked down the doors to severalclassrooms.

Fortunately the children areon Christmas break, so the parishmight be able to repair the doorsand the damage in the classroomsbefore they return to school.

I fear that these crooks, insearch of drug money, will nowturn to the nearby homes to sup-ply their drug habits. The parishis trying to figure out how to payfor the damage and how they willever afford a security system toprotect the school from furtherdamage. As for the people whocaused all the damage? It’s clearthat they have forgotten whatChristmas is all about.

Karen Bertke Western Hills

Back at it Ann? Thank you Ann Thompson

from Green Township for givingus the opportunity to smile and,actually laugh, during this hecticChristmas season (Ann’s “Audac-ity of writers” letter in the Dec. 17Northwest Press)!

Based on your many liberalcrybaby comments, it sure lookslike Santa will be filling yourstocking with oodles of “sourgrapes” this Christmas! But sincethe majority of us Christian con-servatives do appreciate theChristian values you so proudlyproclaim, we want you to knowthat we do agree with one singlecomment you make at the veryend of your long liberal dribble ...during this holy and festive sea-son and in consideration of theturmoil which rocks our countryand the world today, we also standtall and pray... God bless us all!

The Old Time Saloon onthe corner of Cleves WarsawPike and Rulison Avenue inPrice Hill, was originallynamed the Ideal Café and wasowned and operated by BudHotchkiss for nearly 40years.

The following story hap-pened around 1943 and istaken from “Nobody Works,”Bud’s memoirs of life at theIdeal Café.

“It was a few days beforeChristmas, a light snow cov-ered the road in front of theIdeal. I had just opened upand had four customers:Jones, Smitty, Ernie Meyerand Fred Bushmiller.

“Fred was looking out thefront door when he asked ifwe knew what the peopleoutside were doing. I lookedout and saw two people pick-ing something up out of thesnow. I told the customersthat I’d find out what was upand went out to discover thou-sands of pennies scattered in

the snow infront of theOverlookTheater andthe IdealCafé. Itwasn’t longbefore therewere manymore peoplepicking uppennies.

“I worriedthat a passing car might hitone of the people. Two carspulled up and the occupantsjoined the penny pickers.

“Smitty and Jones wouldgo out and pick up justenough pennies to buy a dou-ble shot for each of them,then they’d go out and getenough for two more shots.Traffic became snarled andwas soon blocked completely.When a bus couldn’t getthrough, the driver got outand began picking up pen-nies. Someone must havecalled the police about the

traffic tie up. The police hadto go up Rulison to getthrough. They parked along-side the theater. When theysaw what was going on theyjoined in the penny picking.Jones and Smitty continueddrinking doubles. I couldn’tget any more pennies in thecash register and had to putthem in a cigar box.

“Ernie was watching whatwas happening out front. Heasked me for two dollarsworth of nickels. I thought hewas going to put them in thepinball machine, but insteadhe unwrapped them andthrew them out the front door,scattering them in the snow.This made for even moreactivity out there. Smitty andJones were getting their dou-bles five times faster thanbefore and were rapidly be-coming intoxicated.

“The priest from St. TeresaChurch and the manager ofthe 5th/3rd Bank were there,side by side, picking up pen-

nies. Finally, the coins weregetting scarce, the crowdbroke up and traffic began tomove again.

“We never found out wherethe pennies came from, butthere were many theories.One was that they fell from aBrinks Armored Car, but noempty bags were everfound.”

So, it has remained themystery of the pennies fromheaven.

Bud’s son, Roy, and grand-daughter, Julie, both PriceHill residents, are also ac-complished writers and au-thors. They have many booksto their credit, including amystery by Roy, “An IdealWay to Die,” that revolvesaround the Ideal Café.

Diane Clark grew up in Price Hilland lives there now. Her company,Fairy Dust Ltd Inc., is on WarsawAvenue in Price Hill. She is a long-time member of the Price HillHistorical Society.

Pennies from heaven,a Christmas mystery

For those of you whohaven’t yet heard the hyperevolving around the film“Interstellar,” let me fill youin.

“Interstellar” has a star-studded cast including: Mat-thew McConaughey, AnneHathaway, John Lithgow,Jessica Chastain and MattDamon among others.

The film is powered by ourleading character, McCo-naughey, who plays a mangrappling with the harshreality of life on Earth in adistant future. The people ofearth have squandered manyof their natural resourcesand are forced to live in anoverpopulated, noxious envi-ronment.

They arefacing theextinction ofhumankind.It is up toMcConaugh-ey and a teamof “under-ground” sci-entists ofNASA topursuesearching for

life on other planets. To do sothey must risk their lives andrelinquish all ties to theirpresent reality.

Navigating the explorationthrough a unique time contin-uum and scientific worm holeallows the crew to travelbeyond their solar system.

For a film that is nearlythree hours in length (169minutes) to require audi-ences to sit that long may bea challenge. Some criticshave said it’s a film about thelove of a father and daughter.Some say it is an adventure inspace time continuum tech-nology. Beyond the portrayalof a devastated earth, thisfilm also has a mystery to besolved.

Would I recommend thisfilm? Yes to any diehard sci-ence buffs. Yes to anyoneunder thirty who could pos-sibly follow the technologicalreferences and connect thedots to its complicated prem-ise.

I appreciated the story as

a cautionary tale for peopleto imagine living in a futurethat is unbearable. All thetechnical bells and whistlesmade me consider: is thiswhat Americans before usthought when the likes ofFlash Gordon or Buck Rogerscame to be in the ’50s? Thespecial effects were spectac-ular.

Certainly the opportunityto imagine a world beyondour own is a fascinating en-deavor. Is it worth nearlythree hours of your time to doso?

It’s not unusual for youngchildren to pretend to havejobs – playing firefighter,teacher, businessperson,builder and more.

When I was 10, for in-stance, I wanted to be a pro-fessional basketball player.

As they grow, childrendiscover their own talents anddevelop interests, and withthe right guidance and oppor-tunities they will find careersin adulthood that match thosetalents and interests.

Some schools have careerexposure and explorationprograms for students. GreatOaks has several such pro-grams in area middle schools.

Parents can help theirchildren as well:

» Help them figure outwhat they enjoy – and why.Your daughter plays videogames for hours each week. Itmay be a mindless experi-

ence, or itmay be a signthat she en-joys solvingcomplexproblems.Children whoplay a varietyof sports maybe athleticallyinclined, orthe social

aspects of sports may be whatinterests them. Talk to yourchildren about what moti-vates them to do what they do.

» Encourage those inter-ests and explore possibilities.Field trips to museums andother activities can spark newconversations. If your chil-dren are interested in yourcareer and it’s possible to doso, take them to work to learnmore. For older children, jobshadowing or even intern-ships may be available.

» Research career fieldsand the education or trainingneeded. To learn more aboutcareers and the job market,OhioMeansJobs.com is a goodplace to start. There, you cansee descriptions of skillsneeded for each occupationalong with typical work activ-ities and even average sala-ries. Some fields will requirea college degree, and manydon’t. However, nearly everyprofessional career startswith training or certification.That may be availablethrough industry appren-ticeship programs, communi-ty colleges, private schools, oran Ohio Career Center likeGreat Oaks.

» Be ready for changes.About 80 percent of collegestudents change their majorat least once, and youngadults entering the workforcenow are likely to change ca-

reers multiple times. We reg-ularly hear about graduatesfrom our high school pro-grams who are using theircareer training to earn moneyto attend post-secondary in-stitutions in another field.

Uncertainty about a careerpath can lead to frustration inschool. Students who don’tunderstand how they’ll usethe knowledge they’re receiv-ing may not be engaged intheir learning. They may alsobecome easily dissatisfied asthey enter the workforceafter graduation. Parents andschools can help students bemore confident about theirlives by helping them to un-derstand and explore careerswhile they’re still in school.
