Several Indian Hill resi-dents have taken their loveof writing tonew heights,thanks to alocal writersgroup wherethey all met.

V i l l a g er e s i d e n t sJanet Die-man, DonWenker andDeanna Ash-ing are justthree of the approximately60 local writers who partici-pate in the Monday Morn-ing Writers Group, whichmeets each Monday atJoseph-Beth Bookstore inHyde Park.

Wenker said he gotinvolved in the group aftertaking a poetry class atRaymond Walters. He saidhis teacher suggested thegroup as a way to expresshimself among like-mindedindividuals.

Wenker said through thegroup, he and several othershave published “The PocketBook of Limericks,” whichcan be found at area book-stores and libraries.

Wenker has also pub-lished “Poems by a Father,”a book of poetry that is onsale at local Barnes andNoble bookstores.

Dieman began attendingthe group’s meetings withher husband, although thewriting she does is muchdifferent than the othermembers. She said her proj-ects center around photo-graphs she’s taken duringher travels, and she incor-porates stories intoslideshows.

Dieman presents herwork at several local seniorcitizen homes.

“I bring the world tothem,” she said.

Ashing, a co-author of“The Pocket Book of Limer-icks,” said she saw an

advertisement for the groupat a local bookstore, attend-ed a meeting, and has beena member for about fiveyears.

“I’ve alwayshad an interestin writing, so Idecided to go,”she said.

Ashing iscurrently writinga book abouther uncle, whostarred in aBroadway playand eventuallymade it out to

Hollywood. She said sheoccasionally reads some ofher work to the group, whichoffers advice and critiques.


Indian Hill’s water mainproject is slightly behindschedule, but savings fromthe work could lead to otherprojects getting funding.

The project began in Jan-uary and consists of thereplacement of approxi-mately 25,300 linear feet ofwater main lines.

Workers have movedalong Graves and ShawneeRun roads and are nowworking their way downDrake Road.

Work is expected to becompleted by the end ofAugust.

George Kipp, projectmanager for the village, saidwinter weather and trafficconcerns prior to the July 3village parade led to theproject being a week behindschedule.

However, he said work-ers could catch up to theschedule by the end of themonth.

The project, which willcost about $1 million lessthan originally anticipated,could allow the village tofund other projects in IndianHill’s capital improvementsplan.

“We’d like to stretch thatmoney as far as we can,”said City Manager MikeBurns.

Burns said bids are cur-rently out for water mainreplacements on PamlicoLane and Sanderson Place.He said once the bids comein the village will decidewhether or not to proceedbased on the cost.

Burns said if the bids aretoo high to justify movingforward with the potentialprojects the village will deferthem until next year.

Sycamore Townshiptrustees won’t make anydecisions on how muchmoney to invest in a newlight on Kenwood Roaduntil they see the results ofan Ohio Department ofTransportation study.

The Board of Trusteessaid they will decide if they

will contribute the$231,000 that MidlandAtlantic is asking for thetraffic light.

The developer wants toinstall a traffic light thatconnects the KenwoodTowne Center and KenwoodPlace to offer better pedestri-an access and more parkingfor Kenwood Place at theTowne Center.

The entire traffic light

project is estimated at$454,000.

Trustees Cliff Bishop andTom Weidman both saidthey see the benefit totownship residents andother guests to help with theparking, traffic flow andpedestrian access, but saidthey won’t decide on howmuch to pay until the trafficstudy results are received atthe end of July.

“We’re not sure if($231,000 is) a fairamount,” Bishop said.

He said it’s over half ofthe estimated price of theproject which was initiatedby Midland Atlantic.

Midland Atlantic is thedeveloper of the eight-screen, 1,184-seat Ken-wood Theater in KenwoodPlace that the trusteesapproved at their Feb. 4meeting.

The traffic study is look-ing at traffic counts at Ken-wood Road and GalbraithRoad, Kenwood Road andthe Towne Center entranceand Kenwood Road and theKenwood Place entrance.

The annual award,named after the late Cincin-nati Country Day Schoolteacher Lee S. Pattison, rec-ognizes exceptional teach-ers at Cincinnati CountryDay School.

Hecker, 48, who hastaught at Cincinnati CountryDay for 11 years, was rec-ognized for her efforts inintegrating technology intothe classroom.

“Because I teach foreignlanguages I want my stu-dents to have an apprecia-tion for foreign cultures anddiversity,” said Hecker, whoteaches high school French.

“I want them to get out

there and explore.”Hecker said one way this

can be accomplished isthrough technology.

The students input voicerecordings on the computer,listen to podcasts and watchtelevision news programsbroadcast in French.

Hecker said students arealso encouraged to traveland to participate in lan-guage immersion camps.

“I take a communicativeapproach,” she said. “We

spend a lot of time in classspeaking the language.”

Petre, 51, was recog-nized for her ability to gen-erate enthusiasm in herfifth-grade English stu-dents.

“I try and make (Eng-lish) appealing by tappinginto the natural enthusiasmthat age has,” said Petre,

who has taught at Cincin-nati Country Day for 17years.

Petre integrates classicliterature and culture intoher curriculum.

Students in Petre’s classalso write a 20-page autobi-ography to present a snap-

shot of themselves.“There is a lot of depth to

what they write,” saidPetre, who is a resident ofHyde Park.

Recipients of last year’sLee S. Pattison Award wereElvira Carrillo and PeterFossett.

The Moeller High School golfteam features one of the mostexperienced lineups in programhistory as the Crusaders returnseven of their top eight playersfrom 2009’s state-qualifyingteam.

“This could be a really, reallygood team,” head coach RickBohne said. “There’s still a lot ofwork that needs to be done andgolf is a funny game becausethere’s no defense. Once we getinto the season and get someidentity as these guys develop asense of who they are as a team,we can do pretty well.”

Moeller has been to the state

tournament for eight consecutiveseasons, the longest active streakin Division I, and Moeller has thetalent to return to the state tour-nament again in 2010. The Cru-saders return a number of stand-out players, led by 2009 staterunner-up Andrew Dorn.

“It’s hard to believe he’s a sen-ior,” Bohne said. “He will proba-bly graduate as the best playerwe’ve ever had. He’s been terrificfor us.”

Bohne said the returning play-ers have all had productive sum-mers. Michael Wolf, anotherstandout for Moeller, has wonseveral national tournaments.Michael Irwin is another returningstandout for the Crusaders whohas also had a strong summer,according to Bohne.

Alex Pietrandrea won theJunior Met tournament this sum-mer and Jackson Lee, another

returning Crusader starter, wonthe city championship in a CRCtournament this summer.

Andrew O’Bryan and LukeWilken are two more returningcontributors for Moeller this sea-son.

“Last year we were kind of aninexperienced team and had two

kids coming back and a lot ofunderclassmen,” Bohne said.“Now they know what it takesand what a grind the postseasonis. I learned last year we have a lotof competitors and a lot of kidsthat are dedicated and committedto making this work.”

Bohne said there will be some

stiff competition in the city anddistrict, citing St. Xavier and Elderas two strong teams just in theGCL-South. Centerville will beanother strong team at the districtlevel for Moeller to deal with.

Bohne said he is looking for-ward to the start of the season andsaid this may be one of the deep-est teams he’s had.

“This could be as deep as our2003 team, which finished thirdat state,” Bohne said.

“We had nine really good play-ers that year. We’ve had teamswith a comparable top five but the2003 team had much better play-ers in the sixth, seventh, eighthand ninth spots. This team couldbe like that one. There’s goodcompetition and guys know theycan’t sit on what happened lastyear because there’s alwayssomeone behind you pushing forthat position.

“That’s how you get good andit makes teams better and it’s oneof the things we’ve excelled atover the years,” Bohne said. “Itshould be a fun season and we’llhave to earn everything we get.”

The Indian Hill girls’cross country team shouldbe one of the strongestteams in the Cincinnati HillsLeague this fall.

The Braves return anumber of talented runners,led by junior ElizabethHeinbach, who finishedfourth in the state in 2009.

“The girls should begood,” Indian Hill headcoach Susan Savage said.“She’ll be one of the toprunners in the state.”

The Braves return mostof the team from a year agothat won the CHL title andthe district championship inthe same year for the firsttime in program history.

Indian Hill returns soph-omore Blair Powers, seniorTori Saba, junior AdrianHorton, junior Sarah Rosen-blum and senior DanielleZucker. Savage said this isthe largest girls’ team she’sever had, as 20 girls cameout for the team. Zucker’s

sister Dini and Heinbach’ssister Kathleen will be twomore runners to keep aneye on.

“It should be an interest-ing season,” Savage said.Heinbach, Powers, Hortonand Zucker all posted timesthat were top-10 in the CHLin 2009. Heinbach will be arunner to watch in thisregion as she could be a

contender for the state title.“There aren’t too many

in her category,” Savagesaid. “There are a lot ofthings that go into winninga state title, but if things goher way, she’s definitelycapable of it. She’s a verygood runner.”

The Braves have neverhad a state champ.

The boys’ team will have

The Indian Hill High School girls’golf team went 21-1 in 2009 andhad one of the strongest seasons inprogram history. The Braves willhave a talented team in 2010 butface the challenge of replacing fiveseniors from the 2009 team.

“We lost some outstanding play-ers, but we will be a good team,”head coach Cynthia Annett said.Indian Hill returns three qualityplayers in sophomore Jackie Trottand juniors Anna Closser andMcKenna Kornman. Indian Hill willalso have an experienced freshman

in Pari Keller.“We are gaining a very good

freshman so I’m counting on her tohelp pick up the slack from the topseniors we lost,” Annett said. “Thethree returning players have beenplaying in a lot of tournaments thissummer and Pari has as well. Shemay have played in the most tour-naments this summer and that workis important.”

The team will have a new soph-omore in Samantha Berten andshe’ll also help fill out the team.Numbers are a slightly bigger con-cern for Annett this season as sheanticipates only having five girls onthe team to star the season.

“There’s a possibility more mayshow up but otherwise we’ll be sortof a small team,” Annett said.“We’re small but mighty.”

The team will have a differentlook from the 2009 squad as theBraves will be without a senior thisseason. That means the team hasmore time to come together andreally develop.

“For the returning girls, this istheir second season and I’m lookingforward to watching all of themgrow over the season,” Annett said.“Next year we’ll be even better butwe’ll need everyone this seasonwith only five players.”

The team will be at a slight dis-

advantage without a sixth playerbut Annett said she thinks theBraves will have another good sea-son.

“I don’t think it will be much of aproblem for the returning girls tostep into the leadership roles andPari Keller has some good experi-ence so she should help replacesome of the scoring we lost,” Annettsaid. “She (Keller) was one of thebetter players on the boys’ team ineighth grade so I think she can havesuccess at this level.”

“I’m very excited to start the sea-son,” Annett said. “It’s going to bechallenging but I think we’ll dowell.”

After winning a statetitle in 2008 and finishingas state runner-up in 2009,the St. Xavier High Schoolgolf team will be withoutBrian Shircliff, a 1992Bomber graduate who hadcoached the team since1998.

The program, however,is in safe hands. Alex Kep-ley, who served as Shir-cliff’s assistant the last sixyears, will assume the headcoaching position.

“Brian developed anincredible program,” saidKepley, who graduated fromSt. X in 1985. “I’m veryexcited and blessed to havethis opportunity.

Leading the team thisyear are a pair of first-teamall-league performers, sen-iors-to-be Smith Brinkerand George Rohde.

“They’ve had a veryextensive summer tourna-ment schedule and havehad great success in thepast,” Kepley said. “As sen-iors, they bring the experi-ence of playing at the statechampionships. I look forthem to be our anchors.”

Other contributors willinclude seniors-to-be BradyCarlson, Nick Stenger and CJHowitt, as well as juniors-to-be Jay Brockhoff, NickColvin, Alex Hannan, LeeHouse, Jack Mitchell andJake Clements. Joey Arcuri,meanwhile, may be the topsophomore.

“We’re lucky to have so

many athletes at St. X whoplay golf,” Kepley said.“We’ve got a lot of guyswith good potential.”

Despite their dominanceover the last two years, theBombers haven’t won a

league title since 2007,when they captured theirfourth consecutive confer-ence crown. Last season, St.X finished second in thestate but third in the GCL-South. Kepley anticipates

another tough season - notjust in the league, but in thecity as well.

“Moeller, Elder, La Salle,Lakota East, Lakota West -and I’m probably forgettingsome teams - have incredi-ble players,” he said.

Kepley added that hiscoaching philosophy is simi-lar to that of his predecessor.

“Like Brian, my empha-sis is on the short game,” hesaid. “All the guys hit theball a mile, and that’s great;but if you can’t put the ballin the hole, it doesn’t matterhow far you hit it.”

Kepley hopes for a returnto the state championshipsbut said the success of thisseason does not hinge onthat.

Tattoos and body piercings areincreasingly popular, yet anyoneconsidering a tattoo or piercingshould be aware of health risksand take precautions to avoidserious health side effects.

State law requires all tattooand body piercing establishments,including those for cosmetic per-manent make-up, to be licensedby their local health department.

The law is designed to ensurethat these procedures are done ina way that minimizes the trans-mission of communicable diseasesand the risk of infection.

People who visit unlicensedfacilities (e.g. residential homes,tattoo parties, Craigslist advertise-ments, etc.) face serious healthconsequences, ranging from localskin infections to blood-borne ill-nesses such as Hepatitis B,Hepatitis C and HIV.

Additionally, employees of tat-too/piercing facilities are requiredto be trained in first aid, control oftransmission of infectious disease,universal precautions againstblood-borne pathogens andappropriate aftercare.

Hamilton County Public Healthinspects tattoo and body piercingestablishments to ensure safe andsanitary conditions are beingmaintained.

The most recent inspectionreports can be viewed atwww.hamiltoncountyhealth.org.

When choosing a tattooing orbody piercing establishment:

• Request to see a copy of theestablishment’s current operating

license. Thelicense shouldbe readily avail-able and postedat the facility.

• Make surethe establish-ment looksclean and a rest-room facility isavailable to cus-tomers. Look forproper lightingwithin theestablishment.

• Verify that the artist’s first aidand blood-borne pathogen train-ing documents are available andup-to-date. Look for previouswork done by the artist. Check forpictures on the wall or abinder/portfolio with photos ofwork that the artist has done.

• Prior to beginning any proce-dure, the artist should wash theirhands with soap and water in anearby sink.

• Make sure the artist usesbrand new, disposable needlesand razors, ink caps and a new,clean pair of sterile gloves foreach piercing or tattooing client.All items should be used onlyonce.

• The artist should clean theskin before tattooing or piercing.

• Make sure you are givendetailed follow-up instructionsand follow them exactly as writ-ten.

Parents should understand andtalk to their children about theconsequences of tattoos and body

piercings. Not all establishmentschoose to tattoo those under theage of 18.

The State of Ohio requires aparent or legal guardian to bepresent when anyone under theage of 18 receives a tattoo orbody piercing.

Additionally, Hamilton CountyPublic Health requires a stateissued driver’s license, state ID orbirth certificate for both individuals.

Last week’s question:What was your best summer job?

Your worst? Why?’

“My best summer job was at acamp called Camp Nuhop. It was acamp for children with disabilities.It was located by Mohican StatePark. I learned all kinds of skillspertaining to group control andpositive discipline.

“I went on to a career as a spe-cial educator going on 32 yearsnow. The camp is still operatingand I refer many students there.”

K.S.

“My best summer job waswhen I was between my juniorand senior years in high school. Iworked, along with my nephew,at the Easterly Sewage Plant inCleveland, spreading gravel. Itwas also my worst summer job,since it’s the only summer job Iever held.”

Bill B.

“For the summer between highschool graduation and college Ilanded a job as a temporary postalcarrier. Besides it being a decentpaying job, I got to be outdoorsand meet lots of people all overGreater Cincinnati. It was also atransition for me since, for thefirst time in my life, adults treatedme as an adult.”

R.V.

“My best summer job was thesummer I was 16. A family Ibabysat for had a little boy whowas 2. About 2 weeks beforesummer break his mom gave birthto twin girls. My summer job wasgoing to their house Monday–Fri-day during the day to help withthe kids.

“Some days I was there withMichele and the kids, some daysI would have one kid, two kids,or all 3 kids. I learned how todetermine who was crying, whythey were crying, and could tendto all three at the same time ifneed be.

“This remained my summerjob for the next couple of sum-mers. I loved the job and thosekids. It was so rewarding. And16 years when my husband andI had twin boys I could notthank them enough for all greatexperience to hit the groundrunning.”

T.S.

“Worst summer job was work-ing at Mr. Gatti’s Pizza on Beech-mont (about 25 years ago). Iworked mostly until closing, andafter work I would drive toDunkin’ Donuts and get twodonuts for my ride home.

“What I didn’t gain in workexperience, I gained in weight!”

L.D.B.

“My best summer job wasworking the tennis courts for theCincinnati Recreation Commissionat Withrow High School in thedays when they had clay courts.It was hard work, but I met a lotof nice people, including a co-worker that I still keep in touchwith today. I kept the courts inshape, daily treating them andrestriping them to await the bar-rage of players that would comeout even in the 90-plus degreeheat.

“My worst summer job wouldhave to be when I was in highschool and it was my job to passout coupons for free RC and Diet-Rite cola after the riots of 1968. Itwas hot, sticky work walkingdoor to door making blind calls.Obviously people were skeptical,but gladly accepted free pop. If

only life's problems could besolved so ‘easily’ with free softdrinks.”

R.L.H.

“My favorite was working in asmall grocery store in a littlecountry town. It was enjoyablebecause I knew most of the cus-tomers and there were alwaysinteresting conversations aboutfamily, friends, etc.”

B.N.

“My one and only summer jobwas working at Kings Island itsfirst and second season! Oh whatfun. I enjoyed meeting all theguests that came to the park, plusother teen employees from differ-ent areas of Cincinnati – AndersonTownship, Indian Hill, Wyoming,etc. Oh my gosh, not to mentionthat we got free admission to thepark when we weren’t working.”

C.A.S.

“My favorite summer job is theone I’m working on right now – post-ing photos of my Great Lakes RoadTrip to my website www.LifeOn-TheWestside.com. You may want tocheck in to follow along.”

K.S.

“My favorite job during thesummer was working on themaintenance crew at a local golfcourse. I loved working outsideand in the sun. It was also comi-cal to watch the golfers (usual-ly).”

C.L.

“My favorite summer job wasworking for the Cheviot PublicWorks Department in the early1970s. Back then, I think it wascalled the Cheviot MaintenanceDepartment.

“My first summer I worked atthe old Cheviot incinerator onSouth Road (pre EPA days). Thegarbage trucks would pull in, andI’d help rake the garbage into theincinerator.

“I couldn’t believe some of theuseable items people threw away.Now, they’d probaby go to a char-ity. Several items made it to mydorm room.

“The second summer I drovearound in a small dump truckpicking up yard waste, old waterheaters, etc.

“It was hard work, but it gaveme a good work ethic, a good pay-check for a college kid, and I got towork with a great group of guys.”

S.R.S

“Working at Kings Island aftergraduating from high school car-pooling with my friends, eventhough we didn’t work in thesame areas. It was fun becausework didn’t seem like work, andknowing that it was just a ‘sum-mer job’ before starting college.”

S.B.T.

“My best summer job, unload-ing bushels of peaches from a rail-road car that was cooled by ice.Worst summer job shoveling coalit always seemed people tried toget eight ton of coal in a bin thatwas only supposed to hold six.”

L.S.

It is smog season again. Thisyear, the Ohio-Kentucky-IndianaRegional Council of Governments(OKI) is raising awareness aboutthe health risks associated withsmog and air pollution. The goal ifthis information campaign is toget residents to take actionagainst air pollution in the GreaterCincinnati region.

“Smog is not only an environ-mental issue, it’s also a healthconcern,” said OKI board presi-dent and Campbell County JudgeExecutive Steve Pendery.“Because many people areunaware of smog’s health impli-cations, they do nothing to protectthemselves.”

Exposure to smog can limit theability to breathe, reduce lungfunction and irritate respiratorysystems. Smog may aggravatechronic lung diseases such asemphysema and bronchitis. Stud-ies have shown that exposure toair pollution may reduce theimmune system’s ability to fightoff bacterial infections in the res-piratory system. Air pollution haseven been linked to appendicitisand ear infections.

Smog is a pollutant that affectseveryone. Those particularly at-risk include children, adults whoare active outdoors, people with

respiratory dis-eases and theelderly. It isimportant forsensitive groupsto know if asmog alert is ineffect.

Smog alertsare issued whenthere is a highlevel of ozone orparticle pollu-tion making theair unhealthy.When a Smog

Alert is in effect, sensitive groupsshould avoid outdoor activity.Others should limit outdoor exer-tion and plan outdoor eventswhen the pollution levels arelower, like in the mornings orevenings. To know if a smog alerthas been issued, listen or watchlocal news, or call 800-621-SMOG to receive smog alerts by e-mail or fax.

While limiting time outdoorscan help protect well-being fromthe negative impact of smog, thebest way to ensure a healthy lifeis to do your share for cleaner air.Joining the fight against smog isthe ultimate health protectionfrom air pollution and the greatestcontribution to the current state of

air in the Tristate.The American Lung Associa-

tion released their annual reportcard for 2010 on Air Quality incities in the United States. Cincin-nati was ranked as the 9th mostpolluted city by year-round parti-cle pollution and 18th most pol-luted by ozone. This ranking illus-trates the severity of air pollutionin the OKI region and the necessi-ty for individuals to make positivecontributions to air quality.

Doing your share is somethingthat can be simple and easy. Indi-viduals can reduce smog by ridinga bike, refueling after 8 p.m., con-serving electricity, carpooling,taking the bus and eliminatingunnecessary vehicle trips.

“How you deal with smog on adaily basis matters. Changingyour daily habits could changeyour life,” said OKI ExecutiveDirector Mark Policinski, “In fact,it may save your life.”

These potentially serious andharmful effects illustrate theimportance of knowledge andunderstanding smog levels. Formore information and additionaltips to reduce air pollution, visitwww.DoYourShare.org or call800-621-SMOG.

I’m seeing more andmore companies these daysoffering warranties thatclaim to cover all your homeappliances. But, is it a goodidea to sign up, or are youbetter off saving yourmoney and just paying forrepairs as needed?

It’s not unusual to find awhole house appliance war-ranty offered by the sellerwhen you looking to buy anexisting house.

Now some nationalfirms, and even some localappliance repair shops,have begun offering this toall.

Sherri Burton of Ameliareceived an ad from anational company for sucha warranty for about $40 a

m o n t hand said itlooked likea greatdeal.

“ I fsomethingw e n tw r o n gyou wereto contactthem and

you got a claim number. Iguess they subcontract.They would come out here.I would pay a $75deductible,” said Burton.

Soon after signing up sheencountered a problem withher stove and called, butwas very surprised at theresponse she received.

“Bottom line, they didn’t

want to fix it. They justwanted to replace a knoband then, if something elsewent wrong, they’d have tocome back here and fix it,”she said.

Burton had to pay the$75 deductible but says shejust went out and bought anew stove.

Next, Burton’s furnacestarted making a lot of noiseso she again called the war-ranty company.

A repairman came outbut, “He said as long as thefurnace was running hecan’t do anything. It has tonot be running,” she said.

The furnace then startedoverheating so she calledagain.

“He turned the furnace

on and said, ‘As long as thefurnace is running there’snothing I can do.’ I said,‘Would you like a Cokebecause after it kicks on thesecond or third time it’sgoing to overheat?’ Well, itdid,” said Burton.

Burton was then told therepairman couldn’t fix thefurnace because he couldn’tget parts since it was tooold.

But now, in the warmsummer weather, the airconditioner is also overheat-ing so she can’t get herhouse cool.

“I thought it was going tobe a great company for $40a month, $75 deductible,”said Burton. “It’s about sav-ing me money, but appar-

ently it’s about making themmoney.”

The company wouldn’trespond to my phone callsso I had Burton file a com-plaint with the Better Busi-ness Bureau.

The company hasresponded to complaintsfiled with the bureau.

After Burton filed hercomplaint, the warrantycompany sent out anotherrepairman to check the fur-nace.

He found the problemwas with the blower motorand it had to be replaced.

Burton had to pay $500,but the new motor solvedthe problem. Now Burton istrying to get back that $500from the warranty compa-

ny.The Better Business

Bureau says it’s receivedabout 700 complaints aboutthis company from peoplewho say the firm would notpay for needed repairs.

In response, the compa-ny says consumers need toread the contract thorough-ly and fully understandexactly what’s included andwhat’s excluded.

Bottom line, you need tobe very careful beforeagreeing to any of thesewarranties.Howard Ain answers consumer

Father Lou is off this week. TheCommunity Press is running a columnthat was orginally published Jan. 3,2007.

1. You will receive a body.You may like it or dislike it, but it’syours for life. Make friends with it,respect it, and listen to it. Yourbody always tells you manytruths about yourself.

2. There are no mistakes,only lessons. You are made togrow, and growth is a process oftrial and error, learning, and mov-ing on. The pains of past failuresare even more a teacher than thejoys of gains and successes. Liveand learn!

3. A lesson will be repeateduntil it is learned. Realize that

you cannot keep performing thesame behavior and expect differ-ent results. Who, or whatever,hurts you and goes against yourtrue growth, let go of and moveon. Wise up!

4. The most importantthings in life are loving rela-tionships. Your Creator’s initialadvice was, “It is not good to bealone.” That was not adviceagainst enjoying solitude but awarning about being unconnectedand emotionally alone. Being inorbit around your own ego makesa mighty small world and a selfishperson. Care about others! Learnto love!

5. Other people can serve asmirrors. The significant traits youlike or despise about another per-

son frequently reflect somethingunconscious you like or despiseabout yourself - but which youfind it hard to admit. Know thy-self!

6. Whether it’s a place or atime of life, “there” is notalways better than “here.” Toooften the best seems to be hap-pening “there.” But if you get“there” it then becomes a “here”and you will likely yearn foranother “there” that seems betterthan “here.” Don’t always be liv-ing looking at a “there.” Alwaysappreciate the “here,” the “now!”

7. Every human person hasmany aspects: body, soul,mind and heart. Leaving anypart of yourself undeveloped pro-duces a lop-sided and unfulfilled

person. To the extent that youdevelop all the parts of yourhumanness makes your life eithera work of art or a blurred picture.Become more whole!

8. The most wonderful partof you lies deep within. It’scalled “soul,” or “core,” or “trueself.” It starts talking to you theloudest in the second half of yourlife. If you listen, it will impartwisdom, truths, and exquisiteunderstanding you’ve never hadbefore. If you don’t listen, you’llmiss the meaning of your life.Don’t be afraid to reflect! To listen!

9. You create your own cli-mate. That’s because of the powerof the thoughts you entertain, theattitudes you keep, the choicesyou make. Gripe and think nega-

tively and yourlife will alwaysbe overcast anddark. Appreci-ate, and you’llstart noticing themany good things you have. Youget the emotional climate youdevelop. Why rain on yourself?

10. There are many “impor-tant” things in this life, andthere are a few things that arereally “essential.” Never, neverexchange the essential for theimportant.

Our lit-tle flock ofch i ckenshas oneless mem-ber today.And it’smy fault.

L a s tnight, Iforgot tolock thech i ckens

in their pen. This morning,when I went out to feedthem, I saw a trail of whitefeathers leading down to theriver bank.

Not a good sign – Iimmediately thought “rac-coons.”

And that’s how our onlywhite feathered hen,“Whitey,” as the kids calledher, met her untimelydemise.

So you can understandwhen I say I just don’t feellike sharing any recipestoday for, you guessed it:chicken.

Easy pork shoulderfor barbeque

There’s an old-fashionedtype of meat that folks arestarting to rediscover.

It’s fresh pork shoulder(and when it’s smoked it’ssometimes called cottage

ham or smoked pork butt).I use it to make goetta

since it has a nice layer offat which keeps the goettamoist. (See sidebar onGlier’s Goettafest.) I also useit to make barbeque.

It’s so delicious that I’llsave some of the roastedpork to serve for supperbefore I make the barbecue,and serve it with boilednoodles.

Preheat oven to 450degrees. Score the fat on topof a boneless pork shoulder,about 5 to 7 pounds.

Season with salt andpepper and place, fat sideup, in a Dutch oven orroasting pan with about acup of water. Roast until

some of the fat has melted,about an hour.

Remove pan and reducetemperature to 350 degrees.Tightly cover pan with foilor a lid. Cook about three tofour hours more, or untilmeat is tender enough toshred with forks.

When cool enough tohandle, remove fat if youwant and shred meat intobite size pieces. This freezeswell. To serve, stir infavorite barbecue sauce totaste, and heat until hotthroughout.

Rita’s do-aheadmarinated slaw

This is delicious with thebarbecue, and a bit different

than the norm.

Salad:Combine and set aside

while making dressing:

6-8 cups shredded cab-bage or cole slaw mix

2 carrots, sliced thin orshredded

1 bell pepper, chopped1 cup onion, chopped

Dressing:Bring to a boil, then sim-

mer, uncovered, 10-15 min-utes or so, until slightlythickened:

1 cup sugar1 cup cider vinegar1⁄2 cup water2 teaspoons mustard

seed (optional but good) or1⁄2 teaspoon celery seed (alsooptional)

Pour dressing over cab-bage mixture. Cover andrefrigerate four hours orovernight. Stir before serving.

Tips from Rita’s gardenHarvesting basil: Be

sure and snip the flowerheads that are forming onbasil.

Otherwise, energy willgo into the flowers andseeds, and leaf productionwill suffer.

The flowers of all culi-nary herbs are edible. (I dolet one plant go to seed fornext year’s crop).

Roasted whole plumtomatoes: These make adelicious sauce for pasta.You can also freeze them upto six months. Preheat ovento 450 degrees.

Toss tomatoes with a bit ofolive oil and season with saltand pepper. Lay in single layeron rimmed baking sheets.

If you have some freshthyme, tuck several sprigsin between the tomatoes.Bake until they burst, about45 to 60 minutes, rotatingpans halfway through. Letcool, then coarsely chop.

Can you help?Salsa verde at Rincon

Mexicano restaurant inEastgate. For Denise Mar-tinez. “I have tried severaldifferent recipes and can’tseem to duplicate the one atRincon.”

Applespice Junction’schicken tortilla soup. ForAmy. “I cannot figure outhow to duplicate this chainrestaurant’s soup.” She saidit has a little spice flavor,and thicker than otherchicken tortilla soups.

The Polo Grille’s cornand tomato salsa and

Bravo!’s original focacciabread and dipping oil. ForJane in Montgomery. She saidthe salsa looked pretty simplewith roasted corn, tomatoes,garlic salt. “So good.”

And about Bravo!’sfocaccia, Jane said theychanged their recipe and it’snot nearly as good as theoriginal, which she thinksmay have had mashedpotatoes in it.

Like Panera Bread’sblack bean soup. ForMaryAlice Staats, a ForestHills Journal reader. “Thereare a couple in some of mycookbooks but none thatcompare with theirs. Anyhelp would be appreciated.”

Build America grouprecently made SteppingStones Center the first campproject this summer. Theteams worked on projects atthe Stepping Stones CampAllyn site in Batavia and theStepping Stones Given siteon Given Road in IndianHill.

At the Given site, theyassisted in building threegates, repairing a fence andconstructing a storage facili-ty. At Camp Allyn they laid60 tons of gravel, surfacedtrails, an outdoor programarea and built up the edge ofa pond so campers in wheel-chairs can go fishing.

The 16 college studentsare members of Pi KappaPhi fraternity and participat-ing in Pi Kappa Phi’s PushAmerica program designedto encourage fraternitymembers to becomeinvolved with organizationsthat help people with dis-abilities. Push America is ayear-round effort thatincludes building days and

weekends.The summer-long part of

Push America is called BuildAmerica, a six-week effortto complete constructionprojects at summer campsfor people with disabilities.Pi Kappa Phi founded PushAmerica in 1977 to instill alifelong commitment toservice and interaction withpeople with disabilities.

This year the effort willcomplete construction proj-ects in six camps in sixweeks, from Ohio to Florida.After Stepping Stones, theyhead to Kentucky and thenTennessee.

Stepping Stones Centerfor children and adults withdisabilities runs day andresident camps, overnightrespites, preschool andyear-round adult programsat the Cincinnati RotaryClub’s Camp Allyn inBatavia. Stepping Stonesalso offers adult programs,summer day camps, Satur-day Kids Club during theschool year and an alterna-

tive education program forstudents with autism atStepping Stones Given onGiven Road in Indian Hill.

This is the second yearCamp Allyn has been aBuild America site. Eachfraternity participant had toraise money to participate inthe program. The team alsobrings a $5,000 donation toeach camp.

The summer season canbe a very trying time forhomeowners and theirlawns. So, here are a fewgeneral tips to help keepyour lawn looking its bestthis summer.

1) Keep mowing on aregular basis. Never removemore than 1/3 of the heightof the grass blades eachtime you mow.

2) Mow at a highermowing height. Keep yourmowing height at least 21/2 to 3 1/2 inches. Longergrass blades mean lessstress on the turf, thecrowns are shaded and pro-tected from the heat of thesun, grass roots shouldgrow deeper, and your turfwill do much nicer duringthe summer than the lawnsmowed close and stressed.

3) Change your mowingpattern each time you mow.Mow east to west one week,then north to south thenext. Then take it diagonal-ly. Just like the golf coursepros do! This encouragesyour grass to grow upright,rather than laying down(being mowed one directionall the time) and definitelycreates a happier lawn!

4) Throw those clippingsback into the turf. Returningthose clippings is like oneadditional fertilizing eachyear. Grass clippings are 75to 85 percent water, decom-pose quickly, and do notcreate thatch problems.

5) Have those mowersblades sharpened on a regu-

lar basis,w h i c hmeans atleast three tofour timesthroughoutthe mowingseason. Dullblades shredrather thancut, whichwill giveyour lawn a

yellowed look, and willmake the grass more sus-ceptible to disease.

6) Be sure to clean outunder the mower deckwhen you’re finished mow-ing. It’s important to removethat grass build up, espe-cially if you have an underthe deck exhaust. It alsohelps the mower deck tooperate properly. So keepunder the deck cleaned.

7) If your lawn doesn’tget enough rainfall, wateras needed. Remember the

golden rule of 1 inch ofrainfall every 10 days or sofor optimum growing. If wedon’t get it naturally, youhave to supplement.

And when you do sup-plement, do it all at onetime; a deep, thoroughwatering. Deep wateringcreates a deeper rootedlawn, which makes it muchsturdier during possibledrought situations, as wellas being a much healthierlawn.

Please, don’t be a watertease. One thorough water-ing is much better for thelawn and all plants, thanfrequent water “teasing.”

What do you see? Is itthe elation across the face ofa man back home fromwar?

Maybe it’s the concentra-tion of a young athletepreparing for their nextbout. Is it the innocence onthe face of a child with herpet?

Or perhaps the lost inno-cence on the face of an adultdealing with tragic circum-stances?

What you see are vari-ous aspects of the humancondition – all of which helpcompose the dynamic newphotography exhibitionknown collectively as “TheArt of Caring: A Look at Lifethrough Photography.”

Also enhancing the expe-rience are a series of pro-grams presented by a diversegroup of community part-ners and HBO Films docu-mentaries further exploringthe exhibition’s key themes.

Featuring 200-plusworks exploring a vast arrayof emotions throughout thelife cycle, “The Art of Caring:A Look at Life through Pho-tography” opened Friday,July 9, at Cincinnati MuseumCenter.

The exhibit, which fea-tures images from promi-nent, contemporary and ris-

ing star photographers suchas Annie Leibovitz, AlfredEisenstaedt, Chester Higgins,Misty Keasler and the LifeMagazine Photo Archive,explores seven thematiccomponents: Children andFamily, Love, Wellness, Dis-aster, Caregiving and Heal-ing, Aging and Remember-ing.

Beginning at the end ofWorld War II, the exhibitspans a 60-year-plus timespan to showcase many ofthe great events that shapedthe latter half of the 20thcentury.

In addition, the exhibitlooks at events helping toshape the new millennium.

The exhibit is organizedby Cincinnati native CynthiaGoodman, Ph.D., a promi-nent contemporary art his-torian who has also servedas a director and guest cura-tor for the New OrleansMuseum of Art (NOMA),where The Art of Caringdebuted in 2009.

An award-winning mul-timedia producer, Goodmanhas been affiliated with sev-eral institutions worldwideincluding the Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum inNew York, the CentreGeorges Pompidou in Parisand Contemporary ArtsCenter in Cincinnati.

The exhibition is compli-mented by a fully illustratedcatalogue featuring an

extensive essay by Good-man, published by RuderFinn Press.

Goodman, who believes“photographs afford us withthe opportunity to see andlearn more about ourselvesas well as to question bothour own actions andlifestyles and those of oth-ers,” hopes people find theexhibition inspirational aswell as extraordinary.

“The Art of Caring: ALook at Life Through Pho-tography” is a powerful tes-timony to how art is a tran-scendent force that unifiesdiverse peoples and pro-vides incalculable comfortand moments of respiteeven after the most difficulttimes … It also exemplifiesthe best in the caring indi-viduals who made this

endurance possible,” Good-man said.
