A new year brings new pro-grams and expectations for thecoming school year.

obesity initiatives and testingaround physical education arethe main reason the program iscoming back, but she is glad todo it.

“I am a firm believer thatthese little people need to get upand get out during the schoolday,” Handler said. “And theylearn about competition andteam work in this program aswell. It is hard for them to sit allday and onlymove around at re-cess.”

An amendment to the state’sbudget bill put economic devel-opment in the shade when itcomes to Ohio’s Sunshine Law.

Therewere a number of lawsand rule changes tucked inamong the funds for schools andpublic improvements in SenateBill 59.

One additional provision ofthe bill amended Ohio’s OpenRecords and Open Meetingslaws, collectively known as the

SunshineLaws, toallowworkingon deals with business for eco-nomic development to the list ofreasons local governments canmeet behind closed doors.

The amendment extendsORC 121.22, which allows thestate to discuss economic devel-opment details in executive ses-sion, to local governments suchasvillages, cities and townships.

Executive session meetingsare permitted for a number ofreasons, such as discussion ofpendingor imminent lawsuitsorthe hiring or discipline of a pub-lic employee. The executive ses-sions only allow for discussion.Ohio law requires any vote re-sulting from discussion duringan executive sessionmust occurduring the portion of the public

meeting.Springfield Township Trus-

tee Joe Honerlaw said that theprovision will help them con-tinue to redevelop the township.

“We as a township are un-doubtedly dependent on rede-velopment projects in order tocontinue our mission of movingthis community forward andmaking itsustainable into thefu-ture,” he said. “This change inthe law will enable us to allowthese critical redevelopmentprojectstohappenwithoutnega-tively influencing the processby releasing details of tentativeproperty acquisitions too soon.”

Not everyone is a fan of ex-panding executive sessions.

Curt Hartman, an attorney

whosepractice includesgovern-ment accountability and is a for-mer trustee in Pierce Township,said that while the Ohio Munici-pal League and the Ohio Town-ship Association supported thechange, he thought itwasunnec-essary.

“There was no reason to dothis,” he said. “When has an eco-nomic development opportunitybeen lost because thiswas not inplace? Supporters could notpoint to a single situation. It’s alltheoretical. ”

Hartman said Cincinnati isnot permitted to have executivesessions per its charter, makingthis not applicable to the city’s

Because Pat Mahaneydied from natural causes,the six “bored” teens whobeat him a year ago won’tface additional criminal

charges.“The autopsy has

closedourcase.Therewillbe no further charges,”Hamilton County Prose-cutor Joe Deters saidMonday.

Deters requested anautopsy on Mahaney, 46,ofNorthCollegeHill afterMahaney died last month.His death came11monthsafter the teens brutallybeat him. After the beat-ing, Mahaney was hospi-talized for four days withinternal bleeding and oth-er injuries.

The beating drew na-tional attentionbecauseofitsseverityandtheagesofthe teens–allwere13or14–who told police they beatMahaney because theyhad nothing better to do.

Deters asked for theautopsy to see if Maha-ney’sdeathwasconnectedto last summer’s beating,which could have resultedin possible murdercharges against the sixteens, charged with felo-nious assault.

Mahaney was return-ing froma trip to the store

where he bought a six-pack of beer when theteens attacked him in Au-gust 2012.

“I don't remember any-thing,” Mahaney told TheEnquirer last year afterthe beating. “I was walk-ing home from the store –and ‘bam.’”

He died July 12.Mahaney’s blood-alco-

hol content, as measuredduring the autopsy, was.226 percent – almostthree times Ohio’s .08 per-cent legal driving limit.

Mahaney’s family said af-ter his death that the 2012beating caused him to be-come even more of a rec-luse and to ignore hishealth.

Coroner Lakshmi Sam-marco “said his liver justfailed,” Deters said.

Five of the teens havealready admitted to accu-sations in Hamilton Coun-ty Juvenile Court; somehave already been sen-tenced. One teen plans tofight the charges in a trial.

“If the coroner is say-ing he died of naturalcauses, I don’t see howanybody can charge ahomicide,” attorney PeteRosenwald said.

He represents one ofthesixteens.Hisclientad-mitted and was convictedof felonious assault andsentenced by JuvenileCourt Judge Tracie Hunt-er to probation until age21, community serviceand towrite a book report.

FinneytownAndrew Glibbery takes over

after spending the two seasonsas an assistant coach at DeerPark.

After some early changesthat didn’t equal the results hewas looking for, the first-yearhead coach has a newmotto for2013.

“Soccer has to be smart, sim-ple and disciplined,” he said.“Those are the things I’ve beenpreaching so far.”

Leadingthewayfor theWild-cats is senior forward RebeccaSnyder, who earned first-teamAll-Cincinnati Hills Leaguehonors after scoring 13 goalsand dishing seven assists, bothof which ranked inside the topfive in the league.

Fellow senior Lindsey Har-mon was named second-teamall-league, while MaddieMayes, Katie Wade, AmberWard, Ava Closson, SydneyZwick, Liz Snyder and OliviaWilliamsare alsobackandcom-ing off a 7-6-2 season.

Sophomore goalkeeper TessEnderle is back after recordingtwo shutouts and posting a .940save percentage in 2012.

Glibbery will make is coach-ing debut Aug. 17 at New Rich-mond.

McAuleyThe Mohawks were either

shutout or managed just onegoal 14 times last season. Theylost 12 of those games and tiedthe other two.

Coach Melissa Frampton ishoping that trendwill change in2013.

Senior Sam Kerr is back forher fourth season as a memberof the varsity squad and willstart at forward for Framptonafter scoring three goals anddishing out two assists last sea-son.

Fellow seniors Julia Hoff-man (defender) and ClaireKnecht (midfield) will look toend their careers on ahighnote.Knecht is back after missingthe majority of the 2012 seasondue to injury.

The Mohawks’ strong suitlooks to be their goalkeeper forthe second consecutive season.Madeline Drexilius takes overafter sitting behind Kelly Neeblast season, who is now at Au-burn University.

“Her intensity, her knowl-edge of the game and the girl isjust a leader,” Frampton said ofher goalie. “She is a born leaderback there and the kids love it.… She’s loud, demands respect

and I’m just excited. She’s agoodkidsand iscommittedbothacademically and athletically.”

Frampton graduated 11 sen-iors and will run out a rosterthat features one freshman,four sophomores and six ju-niors to go with the aforemen-tioned seniors.

“We are a bit all over theboard but that is nicewith grad-uating so many seniors,” thecoach said. “We have to fill a lotof shoes, but we have a lot ofyoung talent.”

That young talent will startthe season Aug. 19 at homeagainst Colerain.

Mount HealthyBecky Savage takes over for

theOwlswhobegin their seasonAug. 20 at home against Cincin-nati Christian.

No other information wasavailablebeforepressdeadline.

season as the Spartans’ coach.After running out a young

team in 2012 that finished theseason6-12,Eckart ishoping fora better understanding of hissystem with the girls having aseason under their belts.

“I think that what was help-ful was last year the girlsseemed to understand the sys-tem we wanted them to workwith,” the coach said. “Comingback they knowwhatwe expectfrom them. They have a goodwork ethic and a better attitudecoming in and they are a lotmore positive.”

Sophomore striker JackieFrame is back after leading theSpartans with 12 goals a seasonago. She is joined by fellowsophomore ShelbyWatterson atdefender and junior Ashley De-Burger at midfield.

SIDELINES

Some people grow upcompeting in their favor-ite sport, honing theirskills from an early age.Others do not find theirathletic calling until laterin life.

Devin Sillies, a 2007graduate from La SalleHighSchool, falls into thelatter category. Itwasnotuntil his junior year ofcollege that Sillies real-ized his talent for thetriathlon. On July 21, hewon the Olympic-dis-tance Cincinnati Triath-lon.

Sillies finished the1,500 meter swim, 25-mile bike ride, and 10 ki-lometer run in just1:59:59. By winning hishometownevent, hequal-ified for the USA Triath-lon age group NationalChampionshipsAug.10 inMilwaukee, Wisc.

“I always wanted towin the hometown race,”said Sillies, 24. “When Icrossed the finish line, Istill didn’t believe it. Ithought someone was infront of me the wholetime.”

At La Salle, Sillies rancross country as a fresh-man, but an injury de-railed his season, and hedid not return to theteam. While majoring inmechanical engineeringat the University of Cin-cinnati, he began cyclingwith friends. He playedclub ice hockey for the

Bearcats.When he decid-ed to try a triathlon, heput in time at the Clip-pard YMCA to improvehis swimming.

“Biking has alwaysbeen my strongest,” saidSillies. “At first, swim-ming was my hardest. Itrained really hard at theClippard Y.”

The early morningtraining sessions moti-vated Sillies. It helps thathis girlfriend works attheYwhere he trains. Healso has a group of train-ing partners who encour-age each other each stepof the way.

“I enjoy training withfriends, and the commu-nity connection at the Y,”said Sillies. “I love get-ting up every day beforethe sun’s up, living ahealthy, active lifestyle.”

Sillies also draws in-spiration fromhis young-er brother, Colton. Coltonhas Down’s Syndrome,and Devin enjoys com-peting in charity eventsin honor of his brother.He has received sponsor-ship from a programcalled More Than Sport,which helps athletesraisemoney for charitiesthrough various events.The Sillies family wasthere to cheer Devin onas he crossed the finishline at the CincinnatiTriathlon.Theirpresencemotivated Sillies.

“My family andfriends were all there tocheermeon,” said Sillies.“This can be a selfish

event if you don’t sur-round yourself with peo-ple. I always make it apoint to invite people,whichmakes it thatmuchmore fun and reward-ing.”

His father will joinhim inMilwaukee for theNational Championshipon Aug. 10. Sillies hascome a long way sincecompeting in his firsttriathlon at Miami Uni-versity in April of 2010.His passion for the sporthas continued to growwith each day of training.

“I felt really tired andI didn’t finish very well,”Sillies said. “But I washooked.”

than $10,000 in savings, andonly 14 percent are very confi-dent they will have enoughmoney for a comfortable re-tirement according to a studyby the Employee Benefit Re-search Institute.

Our nation’s retirementsystem has been described as a“three-legged stool” of pen-sions, savings and Social Secu-rity.

As employer provided pen-sions have disappeared andsaving has becomemore diffi-cult for families, Social Securi-ty has never been more impor-tant.

Social Security is one of thegreatest anti-poverty programsin our country’s history. Thismost efficient, most effectiveretirement program is under

attack by peo-ple who wantus to believethat the onlyway to savethe program isto slash bene-fits.

U.S. Sen.TomHarkinhas a differenttake.

TheStrengthening Social SecurityAct of 2013 (S.B 567) intro-duced by Sen. Harkin (D-IA)would:

» Strengthen benefits byreforming the Social Securitybenefit formula – To improvebenefits for current and futureSocial Security beneficiaries,the Act changes the method bywhich the Social Security Ad-

ministration calculates SocialSecurity benefits.

This change would boostbenefits for all Social Securitybeneficiaries by approximately$70 per month, but is targetedto help those in the low andmiddle of the income distribu-tion, for whom Social Securityhas become an ever greatershare of their retirement in-come.

» Ensure that cost of livingadjustments adequately reflectthe living expenses of retirees –The Act changes the way theSocial Security Administrationcalculates the Cost of LivingAdjustments (COLA). To en-sure that benefits better reflectcost increases facing seniors,future COLAs would be basedon the Consumer Price Indexfor the Elderly (CPI-E.) Making

this change to Social Securitywould result in higher COLAs,ensuring that seniors are ableto better keep up with the ris-ing costs of essential items,like health care.

» Improve the long-termfinancial condition of the TrustFund – Social Security is not incrisis, but does face a long-term deficit. To help extend thelife of the trust fund the Actphases out the current taxablecap of $113,700 so that payrolltaxes apply fairly to everydollar of wages.

Combined, these changeswould increase benefits forcurrent and future beneficia-ries while making Social Secu-rity stronger for future genera-tions by extending the life ofthe Trust Fund through 2049.

Harkin commented on his

Strengthening Social SecurityAct of 2013, “Wemust ensurethat, after a lifetime of hardwork, Americans are able toretire with dignity and finan-cial independence. This legisla-tion helps to achieve that goal.”

At a time when all the otherpillars of our retirement secu-rity are coming up short, wehave Senator Harkin to thankfor providing the leadership topreserve Social Security forthe long- term.

If we followHarkin’s lead,Social Security works well intothe future.

Howmuch do you knowabout the companies that youdo business with?

Socially responsible in-vesting is a growing move-ment in which people choosetheir investments based onhow closely a company’svalues reflect their own.While socially responsible

investingtypicallyencompassesfinancialinvestments,shareholderadvocacy andcommunityinvestments,there is alsoanother kindof invest-ment to con-

sider – an investment of one’stime and purchasing power.

In today’s world, peopleare looking for ways to trans-fer their financial decisionsinto real impacts that willpromote their ideals. Thatcan mean making “green,”“sustainable” or “ethical”investments. It can alsomean giving your business tocompanies – banks, enter-tainment venues, restaurants– whose stated mission andphilanthropic philosophiesmatch your own.

Deciding where to dobusiness can involve a varie-ty of considerations, evenbefore you get to the “social-ly responsible” part. Does acompany offer the qualityyou desire? How are its prod-ucts rated? Does the pricework with your budget? Howconvenient is it to do busi-ness?

Another big factor is rep-utation. It’s the bridge thatlinks both practical and so-cially responsible consider-ations. Most people want towork with a company thattreats customers right; acompany they can trust to dothe right thing. That can leadto deeper questions aboutwhether a company is social-ly responsible. With a littleresearch, companies’ corpo-rate culture, vendor andcommunity relationships,environmental practices andmore can come into focus.

Here are a few tips to getstarted:

» Friends and family. Con-

sult them—they are excellentresources who are ofteneager to provide feedbackabout their first-hand experi-ences.

» Online reviews. Specificproducts are often reviewedon websites like Amazon.comby other consumers andrated on a five-point scale.

» Social media. Pose aquestion on Facebook orTwitter and get answersfrom a larger pool of individ-uals.

»News media. What sto-ries do you see about thiscompany? Is it positive ornegative?

» Company websites. Bal-ance what is learned in yourmedia research with what acompany produces. Do theyhave a corporate social re-sponsibility report or anannual report? If so, readthem.

» Better Business Bureau.Companies are rated forservice and quality and theirhandling of customer issues.

» Store-fronts. Visit be-fore you buy. Do they allowyou to ask questions? Are theemployees knowledgeable?Do they listen to you?

Once you make a decision,re-evaluate it over time. Didthe bank you chose deliveron its promises? Did therestaurant’s service and foodmatch your impressionsfrom your research?

I know at Fifth Third, wefocus intently on living up toour purpose; it has to do withlistening to customers andinspiring them with smartfinancial solutions that con-tinually improve their livesand the well-being of ourcommunities. Our invest-ments in customers, employ-ees and communities – allpart of corporate social re-sponsibility – are importantto us because they are impor-tant to you.

The fact is, as a consumer,you have a world of choicesto make, and a world of datato help guide you. Companiesknow that. We know the pow-er you hold, and we don’t justwant your business. We alsowant your respect.

North College Hill —DawnWil-liams may work at ClovernookCenter for theBlind andVisual-ly Impaired, but it doesn’t feellike work to her.

“Everybody here is like fam-ily,” the 48-year-old mother ofthree said. “It doesn’t feel likework.”

The Madisonville residenthasbeenworkingatClovernookfor 28 years. She has congenitalcataracts and works to publishbooks and other publications inbraille. She said the process hascome a long way.

“We used to have to bind allthe books by hand,” she said.“Now everything’s automated.”

Themother of three said shecouldn’t imagine working any-where else.

The Clovernook Center iscelebrating its 110th birthday.Older than the community it isin, the center has had a rich his-tory in North College Hill.

“Itwas started in1903by twosisters, Georgia and FlorenceTrader.Georgiawasblind,”Clo-vernook President and CEORobin Usalis said. “They werefairly well-to-do and had thebenefits of an education and re-sources for Georgia to be a pro-ductive young woman. Theywanted to help other peoplehave access to the same re-sources to be educated and towork and be productive andthey founded Clovernook Cen-ter.”

She said the land was donat-ed by William A. Procter, presi-dent of Procter andGamble andthe son of one its P&G’s foun-

ders, and on the land was a two-bedroom cottage that was oncethe residence of poets and au-thors Alice and Phoebe Cary.

The Clovernook Home forthe Blind was opened onMay 8,1903, and for 10 years 13 blindwomen called Cary Cottagehome before the Trader Housewas built.

The Trader House was themain residence and could houseasmany as 40 people. The sameyear they built a weaving andprinting shop for the residentsto make rugs and print braillebooks and other braille publica-

tions.“The people that lived here

workedhere,”Usalis said. “Peo-ple camefromall over thecoun-try because they didn’t have alot of employment options. Peo-ple would leave their familiesfrom all around the country tocome and live here and work.”

Some things have changed inmore than a centurybutClover-nook continues to offer employ-ment and rehabilitative care.

Theweavingshopwasclosedin 1989 and residents lived onthe campus until 1993 and theTrader House was demolished.

Clovernook still runs a largeprinting and publishing opera-tion. They produce braillebooks, magazines, restaurantmenus and other braille prod-ucts. Some magazines theymake braille for are the NewYork Times, Martha StewartLiving,RollingStone,ESPNandLadies Home Journal.

Clovernook workers also

produce biodegradable cups.In addition to work opportu-

nities, the center offers dailyliving skills classes, indepen-dent travel classes, they teachadaptive technology computercourses and help people findwork in the community. Thereare also art and recreation pro-grams and youth summercamps, and works with the Cin-cinnati Association for theBlind and Visually Impaired toprovide services to people ingreater Cincinnati.

Usalis said that Clovernookwillmaintain its presence in thecommunity for years to come.

“We want to continue grow-ing and grow our impact in thecommunity,” she said.

For more information aboutClovernook, visitwww.clovernook.org or call522-3860. The Cary Cottage isopen for tours by appointmentonly Monday through Friday.There is no admission chargebut donations are accepted.

AUGUST 14, 2013 • HILLTOP PRESS • B3LIFE

Sometimes I wish I was ahigh-tech person. Like a whileback when I made dilly beansand took photos of the beanspicked frommy garden alongwith photos of the finishedbeans after canning. I stillhave the photo of the gardenbeans, but the finishedbeans in jars photohas vanished and Idon’t know how toretrieve it frommycamera. I can’t takeanother photo be-cause, well, the beansare all gone.

The recipe makesfour jars and were sogood that we ate a jarand gave the otherthree away. But I promise youwill love the beans, photo ornot.

I was blown away by thehuge response to TomW.’srequest for a 7-Up cake thatwas published years ago in theEnquirer. The stories alonemade me chuckle, not to men-tion how good all the recipeslooked. I will share both in anupcoming blog. Today I’msharing two versions: Onefrom scratch, which Tomwant-ed, and another using a cakemix. Some folks don’t ice thecake, but others do so I’m shar-ing icing recipes as well.

Rita’s classic dilly beansFriend and colleague Leah

Ochs, director of Jungle Jim’scooking school, has a similarrecipe and substitutes Srirachasauce to taste for the pepperflakes.

2 generous pounds green beans,trimmed to fit canning jars

4 teaspoons dill seed or 4 largeheads dill

4 small cloves garlic1 teaspoon red pepper flakes,divided (optional)

21⁄2 cups clear vinegar

21⁄2 cups water1⁄4 cup canning salt

Pack beans lengthwise intofour hot pint jars, leaving1⁄4-inch head space. To eachpint, add 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper, 1clove garlic and 1 teaspoon dill

seed. Bring vinegar, waterand salt to a boil. Pourimmediately over beans,leaving 1⁄4-inch head space.Remove air bubbles bysliding a butter knifearound inside edges ofjars. Wipe rims clean withdamp cloth. Place sealsand rings on. Process 10minutes in boiling waterbath. These are best eatenchilled.

Tip from Rita’s kitchenIf you don’t want to can

these, cap and seal, cool toroom temperature and store inrefrigerator up to six months.

7-Up cake from scratchHere’s Donna A.’s recipe

from 30 years ago. Tomwanteda from-scratch recipe, so hope-fully this will work.

11⁄2 cups butter, softened3 cups sugar5 eggs3 cups flour2 tablespoons lemon extract3⁄4 cup 7-Up

Preheat oven to 325 de-grees. Cream sugar and buttertogether and beat until lightand fluffy (about 20 minuteswith an electric beater). Addeggs, one at a time and beatwell. Add flour one cup at atime. Beat in lemon extractand 7-Up. Pour batter into awell greased and floured jum-bo, fluted Bundt pan. Bake for1-11⁄4 hours.

Simple lemon glazeThis is one I use for lemon

pound cake. Just stir 2⁄3 cup

confectioner’s sugar with 1tablespoon or so lemon juice.

Diane Byrne’s 7-Uppound cake using cakemix

Diane, a Loveland reader,told me: “I got this frommymom several years ago. I’venever made the glaze withoutthe alcohol. I’m not sure whatyou’d substitute.” Any sugges-tions?

1package Duncan Hines LemonSupreme CakeMix

1 4-cup package instant lemonpudding

1⁄2 cup vegetable oil4 eggs1 cup 7-Up

Preheat oven to 350 de-grees. Combine above ingredi-

ents and beat 2 minutes. Pre-pare a Bundt pan (spray well)and pour mixture in. Bake45-55 minutes.

Diana’s glazeDiane didn’t say if she

cooked the glaze, but I wouldassume the sugar has to melt,so I’d cook it over very lowheat until sugar melts. Addbourbon last.1⁄2 stick butter, meltedScant 2⁄3 cup sugar1⁄3 cup bourbon (or whatever, rumis good too)

Stir in bourbon. Prick holesin cake and pour on glaze.

Doris Poore’s 7-Up cakeicing

Doris, a Kentucky reader,had a recipe using a cake mix

and also had an interestingicing. “The index card is allyellowed and stained. So, Iknow it’s a good one,” she said.

2 eggs, beaten1 tablespoon flour1 cup crushed pineapple,undrained

11⁄2 cups sugar1 stick margarine1 cup coconut

Cook all ingredients (exceptcoconut) until thick, add coco-nut and pour over hot cake.Top with pecans.

Presented by the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company

We’ve all experience it;someone comes to yourfront door trying to sellyou something. But is it agood idea to buy from adoor-to-door salesman?One area woman saysafter the experience she’shad she’ll never do itagain.

Jessica Jones, of But-ler, Ky., says a salesmancame to her door lastFebruary. “We were homeand I got a knock on thedoor from a gentleman.He says he was sellingreflective signs for yourmailbox.”

The company was

selling thesigns for$20 apieceand Jonesbought one.Her re-ceipt saysit was sup-posed tohave beendeliveredinMarch.

But now, more than fourmonths later, she stilldidn’t have it. “Needlessto say its still not in-stalled. I’ve called threedifferent times and re-ceived promises of thembeing out to install it – but

still no sign,” Jones says.Jones does have num-

bers on her mailbox, butthey’re not reflectivenumbers so theymay notbe visible at night ifsomeone calls for police,fire or an ambulance.

That’s why she saysshe really wanted thosereflective numbers forher mailbox.

“I’m just aggravated.He took $20 fromme thatday with a promise of asign that I never re-ceived. Howmany otherpeople are out there withthat same promise thatmaybe even forgot about

it?” Jones asks.A check with the Bet-

ter Business Bureaushows the company hasreceivedmore than adozen complaints, mainlyfrom people who say theytoo never received theirreflective signs. The BBBgives that company an“F” rating.

When I told Jonesabout the Better BusinessBureau report she said,“Wow, wow. It just goes toshow don’t ever buy any-thing from a door-to-doorsalesman.”

Such complaints arenot at all uncommon. I’ve

receivedmany lettersfrom homeowners whopaid for magazine sub-scriptions yet never re-ceived anything. In onecase a homeowner didreceive the magazinesbut realized too late shehad greatly overpaid forthe subscriptions.

In Jones’ case I con-tacted the reflective signcompany owner who saidhe was busy taking careof customers to whom hehad failed to deliver thesigns. He says he gotbehind and blamed theweather for the delay.After I called he finally

did get the sign put onJones’ mailbox.

So, what should you doif a salesman comesknocking on your door?You could refuse to buy,as Jones has vowed. Or, ifyou’re interested in theproduct, I suggest you goahead and place yourorder. But, just as withGirl Scout cookies, don’tpay until they return withthe product.

Parents eagerly antic-ipate the moment whentheir child first begins totalk. For some parents, itis a time of anxiety be-cause their child strug-gles to get words out. Asmany as 5 percent of pre-school children nation-widehaverepetitionsandprolongations of soundssevere enough to be ofconcern to their parents.

The DVD in Englishand Spanish, “Stutteringand Your Child: Help forParents”, helps parentsdetect stuttering andtake action toward help-ing their child and isavailable at most publiclibraries. Some libraries

have an older video for-mat.

Produced by the non-profit Stuttering Founda-tion, the film describeswhat kinds of stutteringyoung children may ex-hibit, how parents canhelp at home, and the roleof a speech pathologist inevaluating and treatingchildren who stutter.

“Stuttering typicallybegins between the agesof 2 and 5,” says BarryGuitar, professor andchair of CommunicationSciences at the Univer-sity of Vermont in Bur-lington. “It may begingradually or suddenly,and many of these chil-

dren outgrow their dis-fluencies naturally. How-ever, if a child continuesto stutter for severalmonths, or appears to befrustrated by it, parentsshould seek assistance.”

Guitar appears in theDVDwith other national-ly recognized experts instuttering: Peter Ramigof the University of Colo-rado at Boulder, DianeHill of NorthwesternUniversity, Patricia Ze-browskiof theUniversityof Iowa, and KristinChmela, also of North-western University.

These experts addresscommon concerns thatparents have about theirchild, such as how to helpthe child at home andwhether to seek the ad-vice of a speech patholo-gist.

Strategies parents canuse to help reduce stut-tering are given through-out the DVD and includereducing the number ofquestions they ask thechild, focusing on takingturns during conversa-tions, and making time toread or talkwith the childin a relaxed manner.

“Parents are relievedto discover that they arenot alone and that otherparents share their con-cerns,” Chmela said.

“Stuttering remains amystery to most people,”said Jane Fraser, presi-dent of the StutteringFoundation. “Watching ayoung child struggle tospeakcanbedevastating.This DVD is designed toreassure parents andfamilies that many pre-schoolers stutter, thatthey can be helped, andhowparents canplayavi-tal role in this process.”

Books and DVDs pro-duced by the 66-year-oldnonprofit StutteringFoundation are availablefree to any public library.

“Jesus pushed me,healedme,andfilledmeinsimple and unexpectedmoments,” said EmmaLindle, a young adult whoparticipated in CampECHO, a Theology of theBody summer camp host-ed by Ruah Woods. “Hispresence at this camp istangible.”

Camp ECHO was heldatCampCampbellGard inHamilton in June. Morethan 70 people attendedthe national event. Al-though most participantswere from the Tristatearea, some traveled fromTexas, California, andeven Canada, to spend aweekhearingthemessageof the Theology of theBody.

“I came from Québecto live this camp,” saidyoung adult participantAlex Deschenes. His dio-cese sponsored him to at-tendCampECHOinhopesof startingasimilarmove-ment in Québec.

During three days,young adults had the op-portunity to immersethemselves in the teach-ings of Pope John Paul II’sTheology of the Body andlearn more about prayer,their identity as sons anddaughters of God, andhow to live out themissionto love. When the highschool youth arrived, theyoung adults served astheirmentors and “familygroup” leaders. The teensexperienced the Theology

of the Body through talks,games, worship, sacra-ments, small group dis-cussions, andevena talentshow.

“Camp ECHO was oneof themost amazing expe-riences ever,” said youthparticipant Lindsay Hoff-meister. “Myfavoritepartwould have to be meetingall the amazingmentors. Ibecame so close to somany people in such ashort amount of time.”

In addition to the youthand young adult partici-pants, a core team ofadults helped throughoutthe week. A Benedictinemonk, a diocesan priest, apostulant, seminarians, anewly married couple,several young families, afewmoms, and single peo-ple made up the CampECHO team. This createdan intentional Christiancommunity where all vo-cations were present andsharing their unique gifts.

“This experience wasmade of all the rightstuff,” said Ethan Moore,a seminarian for theArch-diocese of Cincinnati, whoattendedCampECHOasayoung adult participant.“There was prayer, com-munity, laughter, fun, andinspiration, topped withthe power of the HolySpirit.”

Father Jason Bedel,who served as the camp’sspiritual director, agreed.“I witnessed the wholegroup grow in self-knowl-edgeas theywereremind-ed of the great dignity weshare as human beingsmade in God's image.”

For some, CampECHOwas the first time they en-countered the message of

the Theology of the Body.The result was transfor-mational.

“Camp ECHO was in-credibly freeing,” saidyoung adult participantForest Hempen. “BeforeCamp ECHO, I didn'tknowverymuchabout theTheology of the Body, butI felt drawn to it. Sittingthere at camp, listening toBrian and Courtneyspeak, I had an under-standing and peace thatthis is it. Every single partof this teaching is ridicu-lously engaging and jam-packed with hope. I'm ex-tremely grateful for allthe peoplewhopushedmeto take part in CampECHO, and I'm pumped toget out there and let Goduseme to share the Theol-ogy of the Body.”

While some partici-pants were moved bytheir first encounter withthe Theology of the Body,others were simply grate-ful to be part of an authen-tic Christian community.“From the bottom of myheart, thankyou forall thework that you do for usteens as you help us growcloser to Christ,” saidyouth participant MiguelBernal.

Although Camp ECHOwas just six days, partici-pants went forth encour-aged and ready to sharethe good news of the The-ology of the Body in theirfamilies, schools andcom-munities.
