COLLECTION TIME

Literature and books mayfeed the soul, but local librariesare also interested in feedingthe body.

In June alone, branches pro-vided more than 5,000 lunchesfor children to bridge the hun-ger gap. Officials from the Pub-lic Library of Cincinnati andHamilton County said 1,730youngsters received assistanceat Covedale, College Hill, For-est Park, Groesbeck, and NorthCentral branch libraries.

“This wonderful collabora-tion between the public library,Cincinnati Public Schools, andWindow Arts Enrichment al-lows us to help fill the crucialnutritional needs of childrenwhile also offering opportuni-ties for literacy programs en-ablingkids tostaymorefocusedand attentive,” saidMaria Sfer-ra, the west regional managerfor the library system. “Conse-quently, they also become bet-ter readers.”

“It has always been core tothe mission of our library tohave open doors and provideeasyaccess towhatever isneed-ed,” she said. “Since librariesare natural gathering places,they are the perfect fit for thistype of program. But we mustfirst recognize that without thehelpofourpartneringorganiza-tions, lots of caring communityvolunteers, and staff membersfrom across the entire library

system – not just those whowork at the 15 library locationswhere the programwas provid-ed – many kids would miss ameal.”

Librarians at the Groesbeckbranch library say this is thesecond year their branch hasparticipated in the lunch pro-gram. Branch manager NedHeeger-Brehm said his branchis seeing steady participationfrom youngsters and volun-teers.

He said his branch hasyoungsters who stay in the li-brary for a good part of eachday. When school begins, stu-dents from nearby schools arefrequently in the branch until

“We’re still settling in,” thehistorical society presidentsaid.

Just two weeks after theymade themove, thesmall roomalready resembles a home-town history museum. Letter-man sweaters, band capes anda cheerleader’s outfit from the1970s are a few focal points ofthe room.Oldphotosandnews-paper articles are tacked ontobulletin boards and file cab-inets store documents, policejournals and other city trea-sures. Wood and glass displaycases preserve memorabiliafrom times past.

“Growing up here in North

College Hill was somethingspecial,” historical societyvice president Carol Rutz, 75,said. “We were Mayberry be-foreMayberrywasactually in-vented.”

Rutz said when she wasgrowing up in the city, peopledidn’t lock their doors andthere was very little crime.

“Everybody knew every-body,” she said.

Historical Society treasur-er and secretary Linda Braun-wart, 64, said that North Col-lege Hill became a village in1916 and was incorporated as acity in 1941.

“A lot of famous people

year-old North CollegeHill resident who bringshis two younger brothersto the Groesbeck brancheach day during the sum-mer. As he eats his lunch,a book and DVD he wants

to check out neatlyaligned next to his plate,he says they read, use thecomputers and are glad toeat lunch at the libraryduring theweek. “It’s coolinside and the food isgood,” he said. “We like ithere.”

Volunteers enjoybeingpart of the program aswell. StephanieHicks, thelibrary service specialistat Groesbeck who hasbeenoverseeing the lunchprogram, said her volun-teers have helped makethe program a success atthe branch. George Ashersays it’s his second yearvolunteeringwith thepro-gram.

“I volunteer because Ilove it, and I love thekids,” he said.

Brenda Hughes said

thatevenretiringasaCin-cinnati Public School Dis-trict lunch roommanagercouldn’t keep her fromvolunteering for the freelunch program at the Col-lege Hill Library.

“It feels good givingthem something to eat,”she said. “I take great joyseeing the smiles on theirfaces and just listening tothe kids’ conversations.”

Hughes said the Col-lege Hill branch feedsabout 30 to 40 children aday and can see as manyas 50 or 60 if children indaycares come to the li-brary.

“So many of these chil-dren wouldn’t get a lunchwithout us,” she said.

Ben Weitz, senior li-brary assistant at theNorth Central branch,

says he’s seeing about 30youngsters come in forlunch on an average day.“It ebbs and flows,” hesaid.

Volunteers have beensteadyandhesaidhehasagroup of American Heri-tage Girls who come in onTuesdays and do a craftproject with the lunchbunch.

The libraries are get-ting lunches from twosources this year. Somebranches are partneringwith Cincinnati PublicSchools. Others are teamswithWindowArtsEnrich-ment.

Robin Carpenter, exec-utive director of WindowArtsEnrichment, said hernonprofit got involvedwith the lunch programfive years ago becausethey regularly saw hun-gry kids at programs andprojects they were pre-senting.

“Before you can en-rich, you have to makesure thebasics are there,”she said. “Cincinnati CityCouncilwoman LaureQuinliven suggested wetalk with the libraries andit has turned out to be agreat partnership.”

In addition to the li-brary lunches, WAE alsoprovides meals throughcommunity centers andchurches in the Greater

Cincinnati area, such asthe Skyline CommunityCenter and St. Mark Mis-sionary Baptist Churchand First Baptist Churchof Mount Healthy.

Carpenter estimatesWindow Arts Enrichmentprovides more than 1,500meals a day with supportfrom local community

food pantries, federalfunds, grants and dona-tions and money hergroup raises. “This is oneof the richest countries inthe world,” she said. “Nochild should be hungry.”

College Hill — A shrillwhistle blows and boysand girls in swimsuits andswim trunks shuffle to thepool deck.

It’s time for roll call atCollege Hill PresbyterianChurch’s swimministryatNorth Hills Swim Club.

Students sit cross-legged on their towelswaiting for their names tobe called.

“Here,” shouts a smallboy in shark swim trunks.

After more than 30children ages 3 and olderare accounted for, swimteachers meet up withtheir students.

“Almost all of our kidsget one-on-one attentionfrom a swim teacher,”swim ministry adminis-trator Sam Stare said.

As the teachers findtheir students everyonegathers in a circle, holdshands and says a prayer.

After an “Amen” thegroup recites scripture,Philipians 4:13: “I can do

all this through him whogives me strength,” andthe groups get in the pool.

“Ourmission is to raiseup the next generation ofChristian leadershipthrough teaching swim-ming to children,” Staresaid.

She said the ministryaspect of the swim lessonshappens before the les-sons and through theChristian example of theteachers.

Theministrywas start-ed 37 years ago with les-sons in backyard poolsand since then it hasgrown to include morethan 100 swimmers andmore than 100 staff mem-bers. There are threecourses offeredper day ineach week-long sessionand there are three ses-sions each summer.

Colerain Township res-identCindySmith, 27, saidshe participated in theswim ministry when shewas a child and wanted tocontinue that traditionwith her own children.

“I like that they’re sur-

rounded by people withthesamevalues,”shesaid.

Swim teacher AmandaMerrell, 16, said she likesthe atmosphere at theswimministry.

“I like the Christian in-fluence of swim minis-try,” she said. “So manyplacesyoucan’treallytalkabout God. It’s really niceto be able to openly pray

and talk about God andpray over your summer.”

College Hill — AikenNew Tech High School ju-nior Starr Wright said Ty-ree Gaines was one of thebest teachers she’d everhad.

Sowhen the17-year-old

heard that her formerninth-gradeEnglishteach-erwasgoingtobetheprin-cipal of the new CarpeDiem-Aiken High School,she said she was thrilled.

“She was caring andloving and made schoolfeel like another home,”Wright said. “As long as

we have her around weknow we can accomplishanything.”

Gaines, who is theschool’s first principal,said it was her own highschool experience thathelped motivate her andwants to share that withher students and peers.

“My defining momentwaswhenMontelWilliamscame to Withrow HighSchool,” she said of her al-ma mater. “He called outnames of top performingstudents. He called myname.Heapplaudedusformaking the grades and be-ing at the top of the class.

“He told us, ‘Mountainget out of my way,’ andthat was the message thatno matter what it was youcould tell the mountain toget out of the way. Thatchanged everything forme.”

The 40-year-old saidshe had her own moun-tains tomove to get whereshe is today but said theymadeher theperson she istoday.

“I probably had one ofthe roughest childhoodsmost people could have,”she said. “I’ve gonethrough the gamut. I hadto raise my brothers. Iwould walk from Evans-tontoWithroweveryday. Idid it becausemybrothersneeded milk. At that timeyou had to have 20 centsformilkbutyoualsohadtohave 20 cents to get on thebus, oneway. So I gavemy20 cents to my brothers.”

Gaines attended More-head State University inKentucky where sheearned an associate’s de-gree inEnglish in1998 anda bachelor’s degree inEnglish in 2001.

Shedidherprincipal in-ternship at Aiken as partof her Master’s in Educa-tional Instruction andLeadership at Miami Uni-versity in Oxford, wastransferred to WithrowHigh School last schoolyearandlandedtheprinci-pal’s position at Carpe

Diem Aiken High Schoolin April this year.

“WhenIgot thecall,mywhole house was scream-ing,” she said and laughed.“This is my dream cometrue. I always dreamedthat I’d have my ownschool but I never thoughtit would be this soon.”

Gaines will welcomestudents on their first dayback in a new building onWednesday,Aug.21.Aikenwashousedinatemporarybuildingat 2240BaltimoreAve. for two years whilethe school at 5641Belmont

Ave.wasdemolishedandanew one was constructed.

And her former stu-dents couldn’t be happier.

“I’m so glad she cameback,” 17-year-old LindaHuff said. “It’s going to begood for us and other stu-dents to get to experiencewhat sheexperienced. Shemademewant to learnandchange my life around. Ididn’t care about schoolbefore.”

NEW TECH AND CARPE DIEM –WHAT’STHE DIFFERENCE?Carpe Diem-Aiken High School is a new charter school

formed by the Cincinnati Public School District that ishoused in a wing of the newly built Aiken High School. It isa separate school with a different teaching philosophy butshares the same mascot, “Home of the Falcons,” prinicpalTyree Gaines said. She said the curriculum combines tech-nology with instruction. There is an online curriculumcatered to individual students and face-to-face instructionat the school.New Tech-Aiken High School is the former Aiken High

School with an adapted teaching style. Gaines said there isa collaborative model of project-based learning. She saidthe classes are larger but may have more than one teacherspecializing in different subjects. Students pick “real-worldproblems” and try to solve them using the content theylearn from the classes.This is the first year for the instructional models to be

used at the Cincinnati high schools.

Wildcats’ golf program in 2013.The Wildcats graduated threefrom last season’s team, includ-ingMatt Sawyerwhoposted thesecond-lowest nine-hole aver-age in the Cincinnati HillsLeague in 2012 with a 39.38.

No other information wasavailable before press deadline.

La SalleThe reigning Cincinnati En-

quirer Division I Player of theYear and Greater CincinnatiGolf Coaches Association Play-er of the Year is back for theLancers.

Junior Daniel Wetterich –cousin of former PGA Tour proBrettWetterich – averaged 69.9on18holes andposted aGreaterCatholic League best nine-holeaverage of 36.90 last season.

“It’sanewyearsothebiggestthing is trying to convince himwhat he did last year doesn’tmatter,” La Salle coach JonFeldkamp said. “It’s a newyear.”

Returning players DrewGautheir, Taylor Healey andZach Smith will join Wetterichis trying to help the Lancers“Roll Deep” into the postseasonin 2013.

“I just hope theguyscanhelpout a little bit,” Feldkamp said.“If they can play their game Ithink we’ll be just fine.”

The Lancers get things start-ed in2013Aug.8with theAnder-son Invitational at LegendaryRun Golf Course.

McAuleyMohawks coach Ernie Petri

looks to continue an impressivestreak in 2013.

His teams have reached thedistrict tournament sevenstraight years and10 of the pre-vious 13 seasons.

“We have three goals as ateam that we’ve accomplishedfor the last 13 years,” the coachsaid. “Wewant tomake it to dis-tricts, finish in the top 10 (in thecity) andhaveawinning season.I amconfident thatwe canmeetthis challenge.”

Leading the charge will befour-year starter Danielle Dilo-nardo, who posted a nine-hole

scoring average of 41.9 andearned first-team All-GirlsGreater Cincinnati League hon-ors as well as being named sec-ond-team all-districts.

Fellow senior BriannaBurckaveraged 47.9 last season andPetri is looking for big thingsfrom her in 2013.

“She has been looking verygood this summer,” he said. “Allaround she’s just been (shoot-ing) some42s and43s and that iswhere we are hoping she can bethis year.”

SeniorGwenLenz and juniorHaillie Erhardt are expected tocontribute as well this season.

The Mohawks start their2013 campaign Aug. 8 at theMiddletown Invitational.

Area high school runnersare set to take to the trails forthe 2013 season. Here is pre-viewof the teams in theHilltopPress coverage area:

FinneytownJunior Jake Heinold will

lead Rich Jones’ squad in 2013.The junior came in secondplace at the Cincinnati HillsLeague summer camp, but it islooking pretty sparse behindhim.

“We are going to have somework to do to fill the teamaround him,” Jones said, “buthe is showing great leader-ship.”

As for the Lady Wildcats,Jones’ hopes are high.

“We are looking really sol-id,” he said. “Both our middleschool and high school girlsteams have come together andare really solid.”

Leading the charge is seniorJaylah Howell. The team cap-tain is looking toendhercareeron top.

“She is coming in to her sen-ior year in the best runningshape she’s ever been in,”Jones said. “She has a greatchance to win the CHL. … Shehas a rare gift of speed and en-durance.”

Junior Corrine Saul andKatherine German will com-pete for the other top spots onthe team.

“I am feeling really goodheading in to the season,” thecoach said. “Our four throughseven runners are really solidand it will be fun to see whathappens if they can come to-gether as a team.”

La SalleCoachFrankRussowill look

to continue the Lancers’ streakof sending the team or an indi-vidual to the regional meet ev-ery year since1984. Russo tookover the team in 1983.

The 2012 seasonmarked thefirst time since 1985 that LaSalle wasn’t represented at thestate meet.

“Sincewewon the state titlein 2011, we have been in a re-building mode,” Russo said.“We’ve got pretty high expec-tations like we do every year,but we feel we are moving inthe right direction.”

Senior captain Adam Klue-sener will lead the Lancers in

2013.“One of the things I like

about Adam is he’s leading byexample,” thecoachsaid. “He’sat practice, he never missesconditioning, he’s constantlyup front controlling the tempoand he’s pulling the youngerguys along and keep every-body together as a pack. All ofthose things are a big part ofbeing an outstanding rolemod-el and leader.”

JuniorDevinSherman looksto be Russo’s No. 2 runner, fol-lowed by sophomore Brad An-neken, Jason Hanley, juniorMichael Campbell and seniorAndy Cornelius.

“I feel we can be one of thetopfive teamin thecity,”Russosaid. “Our short-term goal is toget to the regional meet as ateam, get right up there in themix to get in to the state cham-pionships.”

McAuleyJunior McKenzie Pfeifer

will headline Ron Russo’s Mo-hawk squad in 2013.

As a sophomore Pfeiferposted the ninth-best time inthe Girls Greater CatholicLeague (19:59.40), according toggcl.com.

Teammate Kate Olding isback for her senior campaignafter posting the league’s 10th-best time last season (20:03.47).

EAST LANSING, MICH. — Theties that bind occasionally sliploose. Take the reigning Big Tendefensive player of the year involleyball, Ursuline Academygraduate Kori Moster, a risingjunioratMichiganStateUniver-sity.

She doesn’t remember a timegrowing up when her godpar-ents – Marian and Pat Reece –didn’t have her in tow to watchtheir daughters Nikki, MindyandAbbie playing volleyball forMount Notre Dame. She wouldpasswiththegirlsandrootedforthe Cougars.

Yetwhen itwas time to pick ahigh school, the SpringfieldTownship resident chose Ursu-line Academy.

“When I was going in to be afreshman, their youngestdaughter was going to be a sen-

ior at MND,” Moster said.“When we played MND myfreshman year I was dressingvarsity. By the tournament, Iwas playing a little as a servingspecialist.

“We played MND in the re-gional finals and I’ll always re-member playing against Abbie.They beat us in five, whichstunk, but it was a great experi-ence playing against her. AfterAbbygraduated,mygodparentswould come to my games.Dressed in green.”

Moster stayed in green whencolleges came calling.

“Comingoutof theGGCL,ev-ery timeyouplayedamatchyouknow the other team can beatyou if you don’t play your best,”she said. “I’d be lying if I said itwas the same level of volleyball,but it’s the same feeling. Theconference rivalries are alwaysgreat. I eliminated most of theschools that recruited me be-

cause they didn’t have thosestrong conference rivalries.”

Now at the midpoint of herSpartan career, Moster looks toadd to her growing litany ofawards - the conference defen-sive honor, honorable mentionAll-America, three-timeBigTenfreshman of the week andUConn Classic MVP nodsamong them - and continue ele-vating her game.

To that end, Moster spentpart of her summer in Dallas,Texas, training with the 2013U.S. Women’s National A2 Pro-gram.

She and 47 other hand-pickedplayers fromacross the countryworked out and played for aweek under the tutelage of sev-eral influential coaches, includ-ing 2016 U.S. Olympic women’scoach Karch Kirly.

“It was really cool becausethere were all these legendarycoaches there and all this com-

petition,” Moster said. “It wasgreat to learn from them, to seedifferent styles of play, differ-ent coachingmethods.”

All of which she took back toMSU with her to help impart oncampers ranging in age from 9to18, some ofwhomare Spartanrecruits and future teammates.

“I think we’re going to bevery good,” Moster said of herjunior season. “After a Sweet 16last year and a great recruitingclasswith someplayerswhocancontribute right away, I thinkwe’ve got a chance to makesome noise.

“Myfocusa lot for thisyear ison my leadership role. This willbe my second year as a captainand I’m working on investing inmy teammates, helping thembetheir best, being a support forthem.

“I feel like my time here isflying by and Iwant tomake themost of it.”

New legislation may help sewer woesOur sewer rates in Hamil-

ton County have increased bya staggering 130 percent overthe last 10 years. What’s more,the county faces paying anadditional $3.2 billion in man-dated sewer update costs –enough money to build twoBrent Spence Bridges! Jaw-dropping bills like ours areoccurring in communitiesacross America.

Why such huge rate in-creases? Because local com-munities are attempting tocomply with consent decreesthey’ve been forced to agreeto by the federal EPA. Cur-rently, the EPA takes a one-size-fits-all, top-down, Wash-ington-knows-best approach inenforcing sewer and storm-water standards. This tactichas led to exorbitant costswhich make it next to impos-

sible for localcommunitiesto adequatelyfund police,fire, road re-pair and otherlocal priori-ties. It’s a bigproblem.

Awhileback, Hamil-ton County

Commissioner Todd Portunecame to me seeking help onthis important issue. He’s beenworking with a coalition ofother local government offi-cials all across the countrystruggling with the same prob-lem. Todd and I, our staffs andthe coalition have been work-ing together to come up with asolution. And I believe we’vefound it.

On July 17, I introduced

legislation which, if passed,would give local communitiesmore flexibility to come upwith innovative, less expen-sive ways to address theirwastewater and stormwaterchallenges. Communitieswould still have to achieve thesame high standards for cleanwater but additional flexibilityshould allow many communi-ties to do so in a more afford-able and cost-effective man-ner.

Specifically, my bill wouldcall for the EPA to allow 15pilot communities acrossAmerica to work with the EPAto set up their own program tocome into compliance withclean water standards.

Everybody wins under thiscommon-sense approach. Byallowing the EPA to workmore effectively with pilot

communities, residents ofthose communities should getcleaner water at a lower cost.Meanwhile, Congress, the EPAand affected state agencieswill be able to study and learnfrom these programs and, ifsuccessful, eventually allowmore local communities toadopt what works best in theirarea, thus saving taxpayers alot of money while still main-taining stringent clean waterstandards.

It’s my hope, and goal, thatHamilton County will be cho-sen as one of the 15 pilot pro-grams. Our community, ofcourse, would have to applyand compete for one of the 15slots in a fair and above-boardprocess. But if selected, theHamilton County Commission-ers estimate this legislationcould save county ratepayers

hundreds of millions of dollarscompared to the current esti-mated cost of mandated re-pairs.

This has been a difficultand challenging issue for ourcommunity, and I want tothank and commend Commis-sioner Portune for his leader-ship in addressing it in a veryinnovative and thoughtfulmanner. I guess this is at leastone example of bipartisanshipat work – a Democrat and aRepublican working togetherto get something done for ourcommunity, and for our coun-try.

Steve ChabotCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

“We have to pass the billso you can find out what is init.” Those were the words ofthen-Speaker Nancy Pelosithree years ago, describingthe passage of PresidentObama’s health care law.

Unfortunately for theAmerican people, we arefinally finding out what isactually in Obamacare. Un-workable mandates haveproven too much for eventhe Obama administration toenforce along the originaltimeline.

Conveniently, over the 4thof July week, the Obamaadministration announced ina quiet blog post on an ob-scure government webpagethat the employer mandate isdelayed a year. This mandaterequires employers with 50or more employees to pro-vide employees with govern-ment-approved health careor receive a fine. While goodnews for the moment, thisdelay is merely a “stay ofexecution” for our alreadystruggling economy.

A one-year delay does nothelp anyone in the long term,neither employer nor em-ployee. Employees will ei-ther be laid off or have theirhours reduced now, or in ayear. Employers will eitherspend millions of dollars andman hours complying withregulations now, or in a year.

I have heard from manysmall businesses and localgovernments in Ohio aboutthe uncertainty surroundingthe requirements and en-forcement that Obamacaredemands of them. Everyemployer is trying to navi-gate the complex maze ofnew government require-ments and regulations. Theyhave already started work-ing to meet the mandate, andnow are stuck in limbo as theexecutive branch tries tofigure out which parts of thelaw they will enforce, andwhen.

The unilateral decision todelay certain provisionsundermines the very rule oflaw. If President Obama canpick and choose what he

wants to en-force withinObamacare,what pre-vents himfrom doingthe same withother legisla-tion?

While thisadministra-tion has de-termined that

its signature piece of legisla-tion is too complicated forbusinesses, the individualmandate still stands. Busi-nesses get a break, but indi-viduals have no relief fromthe burdens of Obamacare.

The individual mandatemust be delayed too.

In the long term, a perma-nent delay through the fullrepeal of Obamacare and itsmandates is the only work-able solution. On the road torepeal the House of Repre-sentatives is working toensure that all Americansreceive equal treatmentunder the law. Should notlaws be fairly applied toeveryone?

The House passed twobills that legally delay notonly the employer mandate,but also the individual man-date. It’s only fair. Why dohardworking individuals notdeserve relief from the hard-ships of Obamacare? IfPresident Obama and hisallies in Congress stand bytheir decision to delay onemandate, is it not fair todelay the other?

As a doctor and formersmall businessman, I knowthe turbulence that Obama-care causes to our economyand our health care system.While the President himselfbegins to acknowledge thedeficiencies in his law, we allmust work towards realsolutions that put the patientat the center of our health-care system, not the govern-ment.

Obamacare provingunworkable forAmerican people

The Ohio budget that wassigned into law at the end oflast month was not perfect,and neither is the budget proc-ess. But after all the ideas,testimony and alternativeswere weighed, I think it is abudget that will continue tomove Ohio in the right direc-tion.

And Ohio is headed in theright direction.

One way to consider evalu-ating Ohio’s financial situationis to consider it as a “turnaround” business with a $30billion per year budget. Com-pared to the state’s financialposition just three years ago,the transformation that hastaken place is exceptional.While we would all agree thatthere is still a long way to go, Iam pleased by the progressthat has been made and expectit to continue.

Since the beginning of theprevious budget cycle in early2011, Ohioans have createdmore than 170,000 jobs. Thosejobs provide opportunities forpeople to make their own indi-vidual decisions and lead to anincrease in total wealth in ourstate. Because people who paytaxes first have to earn themoney, cutting income taxeson income earners and smallbusinesses was the respon-

sible thing todo. It willmake Ohiomore compet-itive in at-tracting newbusiness andwill help exist-ing Ohio busi-nesses grow.

The growthin wealth cre-

ated and the jobs that createthe wealth makes it possible tofund important public institu-tions, such as schools. Thisbudget increases funding fornearly 70 percent of the schooldistricts in Ohio, and 80 per-cent of the students in thestate will be attending schoolsreceiving greater funding. Noschool district is getting lessthan they did last year. Thiswas possible because we havea growing economy that pro-duces jobs.

It is also important to havefunds on hand should the stateexperience an economic down-turn in the future. Gov. Kasichrecently announced that anadditional $996 billion is beingput in the rainy day fund, ex-panding it to a total of $1.48billion. This fund is analogousto ensuring adequate workingcapital in a business. In aneconomic downturn in the

past, the state was forced tocut spending for schools andinfrastructure. The $1.48 bil-lion in our state’s “balancesheet” will allow continuedfunding of critical serviceswhen the tax revenue fluctu-ates.

In government, there isalways pressure for money tobe spent. In the future, theLegislature must be moreassertive earlier in the bud-geting process so that moreweight is given to consider-ation of services that the peo-ple wish to expand and asimportant, to the reduction oreliminating programs that nolonger serve the public in-terest or are no longer impor-tant enough to compete forfunding.

The state budget impactseveryone. I think this budgetis a positive step forward forOhio, and I was proud to sup-port it.

I couldn’t resist buy-ing an extra pound ofdark cherries from thegrocery. Not to eat out ofhand or put into fruitsalads, but to make cher-ry bounce. It’s an oldfashioned liqueur withtrue heirloom status.

I believe the Shakersused to make somethinglike cherry bounce and

used it as amedicinalfor sorethroats,etc. Therecipe is ahand-writ-ten onefrommyfriend AnnRudloff, aKentuckyreader.

Her mom,Mary, made itevery year. Mary said itwould cure just aboutanything. She’s in heavennow and is probably stillbrewing up batches! I’veknown friends to use it asan after dinner cordialand to spoon the cherriesfrom the bottom of thebottle onto ice cream orcake.

Classic cherrybounce

Mary used to use sug-ar string candy, severalpieces, for the sugar. Ican’t always find that so Iuse regular sugar.

1pound dark cherriesstemmed but not pitted.

2 cups sugar1 bottle bourbon whiskey

Put cherries in glassjar. Pour sugar and whis-key over. Put lid on.Shake each day untilsugar dissolves. Here’sthe kicker, though. Waitabout 4-6 months beforedrinking. I keep mine inmy pie safe. Great as aholiday gift. Be sure andput on the label that thecherries have pits.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

I’m substituting rawhoney for the sugar inone of my batches. I’ll letyou know how it turnsout.

Summermuffalettawith olive dressing

A bit messy to eat, butoh so good! Tomatoes, redonions and lettuce fromthe garden make this afavorite summer sand-wich.

One loaf Italian orfavorite bread, sliced intotwo horizontally. You canuse the round or longloaf.

Filling:1⁄2 pound each: Havarti orprovolone cheese andham

1⁄4 pound salamiTomato slicesRed onion ringsLeaf lettuce

Dressing:Go to taste on this. If

you don’t like black ol-ives, use green olives.Youmay wind up withdressing left over. Itmakes a nice spread forwraps.1⁄2 cup finely chopped blackolives

2⁄3 cup olive oil1⁄3 cup red wine vinegarMinced onion to taste (startwith 1 tablespoon)

Palmful fresh basil, chopped1 teaspoonminced garlic1 tablespoon fresh oregano,minced or 1 teaspoondried

Pepper to tasteWhisk together dress-

ing ingredients. Set aside.Hollow out bottom

loaf, leaving 1⁄2 thicksides. Hollow out top loaf,but leave sides a bitthicker. Spread dressingon inside of top and bot-tom loaves. Set top aside.Start layering meats,cheese, vegetables andlettuce, brushing eachlayer with dressing, untilyou run out of filling.Press each layer down asyou go. Press top ontosandwich and wrap andchill for at least 1 hour orup to 8 hours. Cut into bigwedges to serve.

Can you help?Perpetual bread

“starter.” For Nanci P.who said she was watch-ing Paula Deen’s showand a person broughtwith her a starter thatshe had had for 42 years.“She added a bit to hercinnamon yeast rolls, but

she said you can add toany bread, muffin, etc.Howwould I create myown starter and are theydifficult to feed, keeptemperature proper, andany other criteria?”

Nanci told me this isnot a sourdough starter,and I’m thinking it’ssomething like myfriendship bread starter,which can be kept foreons as long as it’s keptfed. It can also be frozen.Does anybody have astarter similar to whatNanci wants?

Greyhound Grille’spasta Gabrielle. Ken-tucky readerMary AnnB. would love to knowhow to make this orsomething similar.

Update on 7-Up cake.Thanks to all who sent inthis recipe for TomW. Iam paring through themand will share one soon.Readers sent in bothfrom scratch recipes andones that start with acake mix.

When you buy some-thing from a door-to-doorsalesman you have threedays in which to cancel.

However, one areawoman says she had ahard time trying to can-cel a purchase made byher mother and her ex-perience serves as alesson for us all.

Renee Gruseck, ofPrice Hill, says a door-to-door salesman sold hermother a new vacuumcleaner. The problem isshe didn’t need a newvacuum cleaner. “I camein and took a look at thesweeper and the con-

tract andgot on thephone withcompany,”she said.

Thedistributorof thevacuumcleanerhad soldthe unit

with lots of attachments.So she had her mothersign to cancel the dealand then called the com-pany to explain abouther mother’s mild cogni-tive impairment.

“I explained to them

that there was an impair-ment and that they’d bebest served discussing itwith me. My concernwas if she cancels it theywould try to resell thesweeper to her,” Gru-seck said.

Nevertheless, whenthe company returned topick up the vacuumcleaner and return hermother’s sweeper, hermother signed a newcontract to buy thevacuum cleaner again.

Gruseck said all shewants to do is return theentire vacuum cleanerand get back her moth-

er’s sweeper. But at thispoint, she was having ahard time dealing withthe company. “I had anappointment scheduledwith one of their employ-ees a week ago at 8:30 inthe evening and theydidn’t show up,” she said.

“There are othermethods of sweepingand cleaning your floorthat doesn’t require a$1,500 sweeper,” Gru-seck said. Actually, whenyou include the 25 per-cent interest rate in thethree-year paymentcontract she signed, thetotal cost of the sweeper

comes to more than$2,100.

“She could afford thesweeper, but it was amatter that she didn’tneed a sweeper. She hada sweeper. She has hercarpets professionallycleaned so there’s noneed for her to have thatsweeper,” Gruseck said.

Finally, the companyscheduled another pick-up and this time Grusecktook off from work soshe could be there. As aresult, she was able toreturn the unit and getback her mother’svacuum— along with the

money her mother hadalready put down on theunit.

Bottom line, remem-ber you have three daysto cancel a door-to-doorsale. And by all meanskeep an eye on olderrelatives who may notfully realize whatthey’re getting them-selves into with some ofthose contracts.

Sr. Arlene McGowan,SFP, died June 7 after abrief hospitalization.

A member of the Fran-ciscan Sisters of the Poorfor 59 years, she was apowerful force for good inCincinnati.

Sister McGowan man-aged The Centennial Barnat 110 Compton Road formany years. She was re-sponsible for creating theorganization “FranciscanMinistries, Inc” – the non-profit organization con-sisting of Art for All Peo-ple, Centennial Barn, Ta-mar’s Place, Our Lady ofthe Woods, Franciscansfor the Poor and Haircutsfrom the Heart.

One of two childrenborn to Richard and An-nette McGowan, she wasreared byher aunt andun-cle to be a conservative

Baptist. So,she wasshocked tofind her un-cle playingcards witha friendwho was aCatholicpriest. She

asked the priest lots ofquestions, especiallyabout playing cards,which shehadbeen taughtwas forbidden. The priestansweredall thequestionsand eventually she be-came a Roman Catholic.

Sister McGowan re-ceived a scholarship to Sa-cred Heart Academy inHoboken, N.J., where shehad an opportunity to ob-serve the “strange lookingladies” (school sisters inhabit) who taught her.When she finished her

third year of High Schoolat age 17, she requestedadmission to the Congre-gation.

Over the years, SisterMcGowan studied labora-tory science and becamethe director of the labora-tory at St. Mary Hospitalin Hoboken. In 1976, thenewly built ProvidenceHospital in Mount Airyopened, and she wentthere to become the direc-tor of its laboratory. Herabilities and dedication topatients and staff led toonepromotionafteranoth-er – and she soon becamethevice president of Prov-idence Hospital with re-sponsibility for many keyareaswithin it. BothMollyTalbot and Don Rohlingfrom the Mercy HealthSystem have know SisterArlene for years.

Talbot said, “Sister Ar-lene was a true and loyalfriend,” Talbot said. “Sheexpected – and broughtout – the best in people.“

Rohling added, “Herlegacy is that she helpedpeople hold their headshigh and keep their hopesalive.”

Always committed tocommunity service, SisterArlene served on theboards of trustees for TheLegalAidSociety,HealthyMoms and Babes, and theSanta Maria CommunityCenter.

“What I remembermost about Sister Arlene,is her generous spirit, al-ways willing to share ofher time, talent and trea-sure to benefit the poor,the underserved of ourcommunity,” said KayBrogle, executivedirector

of Healthy Moms andBabes.

H.A. Musser, presidentand CEO of Santa Maria,an agency that providesGreater Price Hill witheducational tools and re-sources to build healthyfamilies, said, “Sister Ar-lenewasastrongadvocateand board member for 10years. During her tenure,shehelpedrestructureourgovernance model, sup-ported our family out-reach programs, andserved as chair of theboard from 2008 to 2009.She was an amazing wom-an.”

After her retirementfrom the hospitalministryin 2001, shebecameadriv-ingforcebehind thedevel-opment of the FranciscanMinistries, and becamethe first chair of its board.

LikeSt. Francis ofAssi-si, she embraced the ani-mal companions inher lifeand the gifts they bring tothe world. She also be-came an ardent environ-mentalist, helping to en-sure that the hospitalsadopted green processesand that any contractorswho built or renovatedbuildings for the Francis-can Sisters of the Poorused green materials andenvironmentally sensitivebuilding techniques.
