Green Twp. — Crews will soon return to work at the intersection of North Bend and West Fork roads. The Ohio Department of Transporta- tion is improving the intersection, and work has been on hold for the winter. “We’re starting to gear up again with our construction season,” said Sharon Smigielski, spokeswoman for ODOT’s District 8 office in Lebanon. “The project manager expects work to begin there in the next week or two.” The North Bend/West Fork Intersec- tion Improvement project involves the addition of right-turn lanes at all four corners of the intersection. Space has been made on North Bend and West Fork for the turn lanes, and the new curbs and sidewalks at the corners of the intersec- tion are already finished. Smigielski said an underground drainage issue along West Fork Road in front of the Speedway gas station was also resolved. When crews return, she said they’ll finish the foundations for the intersec- tion’s new utility poles and install the new poles. ODOT will also begin work to up- grade the ramps at North Bend Road and Interstate 74 this construction season. The ramp to eastbound I-74 from northbound North Bend Road, in front of St. Ignatius Church, will be extended farther south from its current location. On the west side of North Bend Road, ad- ditional capacity will be provided on the I-74 east and west off-ramps. The interchange improvements will increase capacity on the overpass from three lanes to four lanes. Hospital road work almost done Smigielski said the interchange con- struction and the work at North Bend and West Fork should be finished by the end of October or early November. Just south of the I-74 interchange, Green Township is nearing completion of its project to widen North Bend Road in front of the new Mercy Health – West Hospital. “Our project is going very well,” said Joe Lambing, Green Township’s director of public services. North Bend is being widened from Boomer Road to Kleeman Road, allow- ing for the addition of travel and turn lanes, as well as a grass median in front of the hospital. Butch Nanney, the township’s assis- tant public services director, said the lane stripes could be painted on the wid- ened roadway in late April or early May. The next step would then involve fin- ishing the installation of new traffic sig- nals at North Bend and Kleeman, he said. If the weather cooperates, he said the entire project could be completed in early June, which is one month ahead of schedule. The hospital is expected to open this fall. Road work to resume in Monfort Heights By Kurt Backscheider [email protected] Work on the intersection improvement project at North Bend Road and West Fork Road in Green Township should resume within the next couple of weeks.

KURT BACKSCHEIDER/THE COMMUNITY PRESS COLERAIN TOWNSHIP — Township of- ficials say the new parking permit pro- gram started this year by the public ser- vices department is off to a good start. Colerain Township Public Services Director Kevin Schwartzhoff said the township has sold more than 400 passes. Staff will begin monitoring the park en- trances and selling the permits at the parks’ gateways beginning May 1. Schwartzhoff said the parks started the program to help replace the loss of funding from the state. He said his de- partment will lose more than $1 million in funding over the next three years. “In an attempt to keep offering qual- ity parks and service we are asking our users to help offset our loss of funding in an attempt to keep our parks open, main- tained and safe,” he said. Gerald and Dolores Shannon, who have lived in Colerain Township for more than 50 years, bought their per- mits last week. Dolores says she thinks the permit program is a good way to help counteract the budget problems the township is facing. She said she and her husband enjoy Heritage Park a couple times a week. “People who complain about these kinds of fees seem to have money to do other things,” she said. “The parks are always nice and well-maintained. I think it’s worth every cent of the $10 it cost us.” You can buy the permits at the Col- erain Township Public Services Build- ing at 4160 Springdale Road.

Monfort Heights resi-dent Bill Cornell isn’t aflowery poet, but what hewrites comes from hisheart.

The 77-year-old authoris modest about his work

and says he uses his poet-ry to communicate.

“I can put my feelingsinto words when I writepoetry,” he said.

Cornell, the only childof divorced parents, saidhe attended boardingschool and was a lonelykid.Hesayshesometimescan still feel the echoes ofthat loneliness asanadult.Hiswife of 53 years, Lory,has been the inspirationfor some of his poems,others were inspired byhis wry observations oflife and an attempt to cap-tureamomentofemotion.Some poems were fromexperiences he had; oth-ers from experiences hemissed.

“I left high school at17,was in Korea at 18 and Ja-pan at 19,” he said. “I wason my own quite a lot andreally didn’t know what Iwanted to do.”

He eventually workedfor Central Trust Bank,rising to collections man-ager.

But he writes. Collect-ing his poems in a note-book, enjoying the oppor-tunity to share his take onthe world. He uses humorto make a point in some,allows the loneliness toshow through on others,speaking his mindthrough the poems that hewrites.

Some of his work reso-nated with DayspringGreeting Cards, whobought two of his worksfor their Valentine’s line.

His mom was a bluessinger, Bonnie Blue, whoperformed at the World’sFair in Chicago in the1930s. He also writes mu-sicandhasaCD“I’mMoa-nin’ the Blues Over You,”and another that hewould

like to take toNashville tosee if he can sell it.

“At 77, I still have thisdesire to do somethingwith my poetry,” he said.“It’s sincere and it comesfrommy heart.”

Pull thepin, aim for thebase of the fire, squeezethehandle andput the fireout with a sweeping mo-tion.

Simple instructions tooperate a fire extinguish-er that might be hard toremember in the panic ofhaving a fire in yourhouse.

Thanks to the generos-ity of theFirehouuse SubsPublic Safety Foundation,Colerain Township fire-fightershaveanewteach-ing tool that can help peo-ple be more confident us-ing an extinguisher.

The department re-ceived a BullEx Fire Ex-tinguisher Training Sys-tem worth more than$7,800. The donated sys-tem allows firefighters toteach the safe and properuse of fire extinguishersthrough hands-on instruc-tion and demonstrations.The system is portable,andpublic informationof-ficer Capt. Steve Conn

said that makes it ex-tremely useful for on-sitetraining at schools, res-taurants and other localbusinesses.

Colerain Fire Inspec-tor Jim Bowman said thesimulator provides live-fire demonstration andthe proper way to use fireextinguishers. “This canhelp people get over theirfear of using fire extin-guishers,” he said.

Local Firehouse fran-chise owner Rob Her-mann and his wife, Sandy,were on-hand to give thedepartment its newestpiece of teaching equip-ment.

In 2005, FirehouseSubs created the Fire-house Subs Public SafetyFoundation with the mis-sion of providing funding,life-saving equipment,and educational opportu-

nities to first-respondersand public safety agen-cies. Firehouse Subs hasgiven $5.7 million in 36states andPuertoRico, in-cluding more than$187,900 in Ohio.

Each restaurant recy-cles leftover, five-gallonpickle buckets and sellsthem to guests for $2. Do-nation canisters on regis-ter counters explain thenon-profit’s mission andcollect spare change,while the Round Up Pro-gram allows guests to“roundup” their bill to thenearest dollar. All fundsraisedbenefit theFounda-tion.

Dunn is an avid fan of theCincinnati Reds. He uses hislove of the sport to intrigue hisstudents, and every year stu-dents have a week where heusesabaseball tie-inwith theiracademic work, for example,mathematics, science, per-centages, averages, vocabu-lary, and writing essays on in-

dividual players.The students plan one day

during theRed’s openingweekto celebrate the beginning ofRed’s baseball. This year thestudents askedDunn to drawapictureon theboardandhede-cided that on a Peanuts theme,with Charlie Brown, SnoopyandPigpenalldressed inRed’suniforms, getting ready toplay on a baseball field.

Dunn took a picture of thetemporarymuralandshared itwith some familymembers ona social networking site. Hissister, Paige Dunn, who is aColerain graduate, saw a pho-tograph and shared it with theCincinnati Reds on Twitter.

Within a short time she re-ceived correspondence fromaRed’s employee asking herwhat grades Dunn taught andhowmanystudentswere in theclass. Then the club sent JoeyVotto bobbleheads for thewhole class.

Dunn and his class werethrilled and are planning tosend a photo and a lot of thankyou letters for their baseballseason surprise.

“This is an extremely kindgesture by the best baseballteam in the major leagues,”Dunn said. It makes me proudto call myself a Red’s fan.”

The Pride of La Salle HighSchool band has long acceptedyoung women into its ranks.

The commitment theseyoung women, as well as theyoung La Salle men, make tomarching band and wind en-semble is enormous, but hasenormous benefits as well. Atrue sense of the band becom-ing likea family is anatural out-comeof spendingmuch time to-gether at band camp, rehears-als, and performances.

For 21 young women in theband, who come fromMcAuleyand Mother of Mercy highschools, it is also a chance forthem to bond with studentsfrom their sister school. BothMcAuley and Mercy are spon-sored by the Sisters of Mercy

and share the same basic val-ues.

La Salle band director BrianFischer enjoys not only havingthe young women in the band,but also the variety of instru-ments they play, sharing.

“Having girls from bothMcAuley and Mercy HighSchools participate in the LaSalle band is a fantastic oppor-tunity for all students,” Fischersaid. “The girls get to partici-pate in a world class ensemble,and, in return, LaSalle is able tohave a balanced ensemble ofwoodwinds, brass, and percus-sion.”

The girls enjoy the experi-ence on a more personal level.

“Participating in such awon-derful activity with girls from

Mercy allows me to see howsimilar we actually are,”McAuley senior and flutistDanielle Reynolds said. “I lovebeing able to call these girlsmysisters.”

Alexandra Zeller, a clarinetplayer from Mother of Mercy,said, “Getting to work withgirls fromMcAuley is amazing.It’s a great experience whereweget to cooperate andworkasa team, instead of going head-to-head, like in sports such asbasketball and volleyball. Ithelps us forge great friend-ships that are meant to last alifetime.”

The yellow balls are cross-ing the net as the 2013 boys’tennis season is underway.Here is a look at how thingsare shaping up in the North-west Press coverage area:

ColerainColerain enters the 2013

campaign with the tough taskof playing in the tennis-richGreater Miami Conference.

Six of the top 10 teams incincinnati.com’s Division Ipreseason coaches’ poll comefrom the league.

The Cardinals kicked offtheir season on the right foot,with a 4-1 victory over North-west April 2.

At singles, the Cardinalswill lookfor juniorsRyanKoe-nig and Brodie Hensler, alongwith sophomores Henry Wes-sels and Alec Wickam toshoulder the load.

At doubles, the Cardinalsmixed combinations throughits first two matches.

Senior James McDonough,CaseyLozier,CoreyLozier, ju-niors Koenig and Zach Gehn-er, as well as sophomore BenTaphorn, could contribute atdoubles.

La SalleThe Lancers will be a busy

bunch trying to knock off St.Xavier, Moeller and Elder inthe Greater Catholic League’sSouth Division.

At singles, the Lancers willlook to get contributions fromSam Pieper, Rob Riesenbeckand Matt Bumpus, while An-thonyWieckandEricRuhe, aswell as Matt Murphy and Jor-danMoellman.

Through April 10, La Sallewas 0-2.

NorthwestTheKnights embark on the

2013 campaign competing inthe Southwest Ohio Confer-ence for first-year head coachLauri Beyer.

The team put together asolid 2012 campaign, andwent7-3 while competing in the fi-nal season of the FAVCWest.

Northwest could be strongagain with some key seniorsholding court.

At singles, senior TylerNorton should play in the firstor second spot after earningsecond-team all-league hon-ors in 2012.

Beyershouldalsobeable tocount on senior DamienMarques at singles, as well assenior Jonathon Russ or ju-nior Jeyland Kitchen.

Russ and Kitchen givenBeyer versatility on the courtand can play doubles whenneeded. Russ was first-teamall-league at doubles last year,while Kitchen and returningsenior Tim Jergens were sec-ond-teamers.

Heading into the year,Beyer liked her veteranteam’s approach to the game.

“I…like that the boys havea real passion for learning andarewilling to trynewthings toimprove their games,” shesaid by email. This team willwork hard at practice andwillbe fun to coach.”

Roger BaconRoger Bacon competes in

the GCL Central, and shouldget contributions at singlesfrom juniors Tom Perry andJose Arreaga, as well as sen-iors Shaun Hoopes and KevinAnneken.

Sophomores Brandon andCameronWaites have alreadyteamed up on the doublescourt, as have juniors StevenDu and Scott Enneking.

St. XavierRuss King is off to a fast

start in his 10th season withthe Bombers. Between thetwo varsity teams, the Bomb-ers are 2-1 with shutout victo-ries over Elder and WalnutHills. The lone loss came atthe hands of Mason 3-2.

Matt Duma – who was theGreater Catholic LeagueSouth Division Athlete of theYear last season - playedNo. 1singles last season, but will bechallengedbyMatt Santen forthat top spot on the team in2013. Santen was a second-teamall-leagueplayer in 2012.

Elliot Bostick has a lock-downon theNo. 3 singles posi-tion.

In doubles action, ConnorAronoff andJayShanahanarelikely to seemost of the actionat the topspot,butwillbechal-lenged by freshmen Neil Bos-tick and Andrew Niehaus, ac-cording to King.

With an experienced groupof kids at his helm, King be-lieves this could be one of thebest groups of players he hasevery worked with.

“This is a really goodgroupofplayers,” he said. “Coopera-tive, coachable and dedicatedare common qualities of play-ers on this team. I have beencoaching a long time andmany years (I’ve learned) it isbetter to have really goodkidsto work with.”

Aces are being served allover the Tristate, so here is alook at how the 2013 volleyballseason is shaping up in theNorthwest Press readershiparea:

Roger BaconExpectations are high at

RogerBacon as the boys volley-ball team seeks to replicate thesuccess of a season ago, whenthe squadplayed in theDivisionII state title game.

That team lost to Alter in thechampionship match, and thisyear’s version of the Spartanswill feature a lot of new faces,but Goller is still optimistic.

“(Expectations) are alwayshigh. We’ve got a high standardat Bacon and we hope to con-tinue that tradition with theguyswehave thisyear,”he said.

The core of the squad fea-tures senior returnees Erik Ed-wards and Matt Brichler, alongwith sophomore Bobby Wilk-ing.

Edwards leads the GCL Cen-tral with 77 kills in 26 games(through April 11), while Wilk-ing leads theconferencewith59digs, according to GCLsport-s.com.

Fresh faces looking to makean impact include junior JakeBottom, Max Bishop, StephenPost and sophomore Alex Bren-ner.

Brenner and Bishop have

played a vital role in setting upscoring opportunities and havecombined for 183 assiststhrough April 10.

The squad is off to 4-5 start,and while the Goller and com-pany were disappointed with afour-game loss toFenwickApril9, the coach likes his team’s atti-tude.

“…They are sill very drivenand they are not complacentand there’s no hangover fromlast year,” Goller said.

La SalleThe Lancers got off to a

rough start this season, losingtheir first three matches.

But the squad reboundedwith a win over the defendingDivision II state champions, Al-ter.

The squad’s roster is upper-classmen heavy, with sevenseniors listed on the roster.Those players include MitchDorsey, Josh Schneider, JohnVolmer, Brett Cooper, JeffGoldschmidt, Tyler Blanck andBrent Gatermann.

St. XavierA 2-1 start isn’t a bad thing

considering St. Xavier andcoachBill Ferris graduating ev-ery starter from the 2012 team.His team may not be where hewants them just yet, but he isstill working to find the chem-istry needed to excel at the var-sity level.

“A big part of it is trying tofigureoutwhichcombinationofguys works best together,” Fer-

ris said about his 2013 team. “…We’ve got good talent in theyounger levels so when theycome up tomy level they’ve gottalent to work with, but it’s justa matter of maximizing it.”

Senior libero Michael Spohr–who saw playing time last sea-son – has stepped into a leader-ship role in 2013. Being that thelibero position sees more courttime than anyone else, Ferrisloves having his most experi-enced player in that position.

“He was really itching to gethis chance to be a leader thisyear and he has done that,” thecoach said.

Sophomoremiddle hitter Er-ic Spoelker has provided someplaying making in the middlefor the Bombers.

“He is one of our taller kids,more athletic front row play-ers,” Ferris said. “He does agood job of just making playswhether it’s blocking or hitting.He seems to be ourmost consis-tent playmaker.”

With a tough schedule aheadcombined with an inexperi-encedsquadat thevarsity level,Ferris believes success startsfromwithin before success willbe seen on the court.

“In general, because we hadso many seniors and such goodseniors last year, no one is aleader on the court,” he said.“They don’t yet realize any‘keep your chin up attitude’ hasto come from them now. … Ithink we need to get that fig-ured out before we can reallytake off.”

The Leukemia and Lym-phoma Society is a nationalvoluntary health agency ded-icated to curing leukemia,lymphoma, hodgkin’s disease,myeloma, and to improvingthe quality of life of patientsand their families.

My name is Erica Stein-beck and my goal is to raise asmuch money as I can for this

wonderfulcause. Leuke-mia has per-sonallytouched mylife throughthe loss of mydear friend,Annmarie.She was diag-nosed at theage of 26. Shefought for herlife for six

years before losing her battleat the age of 32. The honoredpeople who personally knewAnnmarie would tell you thatshe always had a smile on herface and she always foundlaughter in every aspect oflife. This was also true duringher battle with leukemia.

I have committed to runfor the Leukemia Society’sWoman of the Year. Though Icould not help my friend sur-vive this disease, I, along withmy campaign team the Leuke-maniacs are extremely deter-mined to win the title of Wom-an of the Year. I have set agoal of raising $50,000 withthe knowledge that I will bepart of the effort that one dayproduces a cure.

Everyone knows someonewho has been diagnosed witha type of cancer. Imagine thegratitude a cancer patient willfeel for someone to donatemoney to help assist in med-ical bills, cancer treatments,and research. Your contribu-tion will fund us getting clos-er to a cure.

My campaign began March8 and will end at the grandfinale on May 17. If you wouldlike to donate, here is the linkto my personal website whereyou can make a secure onlinecredit card donation –www.mwoy.org/pages/soh/cincy13/ericas. You mayalso write a check made paya-ble to: LLS.

Spring typically bringsexcessive precipitation. Forhomeowners, this season canmeanwet or damp basementsand/or crawl spaces.

Inmany cases, these issuesmay be resolvedwith someeconomical corrections, butthe homeowner should get thecorrect professional advicebefore spending thousands ofdollars for unnecessary re-pairs. Since I have been in-specting homes for over15years and 9,000 inspections, Ihave seenmany expensiveimproper repairs and haveheard tremendous amounts ofbad information provided bysome of the foundation repairandwaterproofing companies.

Some of the contractors usescare tactics and tell home-owners the foundation is aboutto collapse and youmust signtheir contract now. Founda-tions that are about to collapsewill havemajor cracks, suchas1-inch or wider, or the wallsmay have bulged or leanedinward 3 inches or 4 inches ormore. It is normal for base-ment slabs to crack, and theslab normally is slightly raised

at the crackdue to slabcurl, a normalconcrete cur-ing process.This does notconfirm thatwater is underthe slab or soilhas washedout from un-der the slab.Stormwater

under the slab is fairly un-common.

Contractors sometimes usea hammer to tap the top of thebasement slab along the foun-dation wall. If the slab hascurled, this will result in ahollow sound under the slab.The homeowner is told the soilhas washed out from under theslab. Sincemost basementslabs are placed on top of thefooting, there is no soil underthe slab along the foundationwall to wash out. The hollowsound is due to slab curl,which slightly lifts the slabfrom the footing. If the slab istapped away from the founda-tion wall, the slab probablydoesn’t have a hollow sound.

If a waterproofing companyuses test strips to prove thehouse has amold issue, be-come verywary of them. Somecompanies use these pre-sumed samplingmethods andtell you this confirms there is amold problem. Thismost like-ly is a scam to scare you. Allmolds are not a health con-cern. Only a certifiedmoldexpert should advise you onmold issues, not the contractorselling a waterproofing sys-tem.

A typical moisture controlmethodmay include installingfiberglass reinforced panelsover foundation cracks todrain the leak into an under-slab drain line connected to asump pump. Thismethod doescover the crack, but hideswhat is happening behind thepanels, is conducive tomoldgrowth and doesn’t addressthe cause of the crack. Theinstallation of an under-slabdrain pipe and sump pump forconcrete foundation walls isprobably a waste ofmoney.Concrete leaks only in rareoccasions. Concrete founda-tion walls can leak at cracks.

Concrete block and stone foun-dations aremore susceptibleto leaking through the wall.

Some economical repairsmay include:

» Regrading the yard toslope away from the founda-tion.

» Regrading the yard toredirect stormwater runoffbefore it gets near the founda-tion.

» Repairing leaking down-spout piping.

» Repairing foundationcracks.

Free estimates from con-tractors can be very expensiveif you sign a contract withoutknowing the cause of theleaks. Get the solution from aprofessional engineer and thenhave the repair completed.Basement seepage and foun-dation issues should be com-pleted from a plan, not from acontractor’s bid.

Just some fun questionsfor your consideration:

1) How much “real money”was ever deposited into the(according to Al Gore andothers) the Social Securitylock box? And, just where isall that public retirementmoney at the Federal, Stateand local levels invested?

2) When looking at themassive amounts of money inprivate retirement accountsand 401k’s that is estimated tobe $16 trillion, what do youthink the Federal govern-ment’s utmost desire is giventhe current level of privatelyheld Federal debt is also closeto $17 trillion?

3) If the Federal govern-

ment and itsvarious agen-cies are at-tempting todrive theprice of am-munition upby purchasingvast quanti-ties of hollow-point bulletsand various

capacities of magazines forsemi-automatic firearms,isn’t it time that law abidingcitizens set aside the timehonored tradition of firing awarning shot before target-ing a home invading per-petrator?

4) Since the former bor-

ders of Green Township onceextended all the way to theintersection of Montana andIntersection 74 south to theGuerley and Rapid Run in-tersection, shouldn’t the casebe made to CMHA that theWest Side of town (at leastwhen compared to the EastSide) has more than its shareof subsidized housing wheth-er there is or is not any morein the remaining areas ofGreen Township that the cityhas not (yet) been able toannex?

5) When considering thevarious levies that may be onthe next ballot in May of 2013,wouldn’t it be a good idea tothink about your family’s

finances first and not be un-duly influenced by the usu-ally outrageous claims thatthe money “is for the childrenor the needy” and that publicagencies are “working withor at bare bones minimums”now?

6) When consideringwhether to continue to go italone or merge with a neigh-boring political jurisdiction,what choice do the leaders ofthe city of Cheviot actuallyhave to consider?

Smart and involved citi-zens should know the answersto these simple questions.

Steve GroteCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

April 10 questionA federal judge ruled April 5

that age restrictions on over-the-counter sales of the morning-af-ter pill must end within 30 days.Should there be age restrictionson the morning-after pill? Whyor why not?”

“An abortion stops a beatingheart. Birth control keeps thatsituation from occurring. The“Morning After” pill is part ofbirth control. Leaving religiousbeliefs out of it I think control-ling unwanted pregnancies forany age person is better thanhaving abortions or unwantedbirths. Go Figure!”

T.D.T.

“Should there be restric-tionsonthesaleof themorning-after pill? Yes, but society ischanging, and I am not surethat these restrictions will con-tinue to be observed.

“There are restrictions onthe ages of people who want tobuycigarettesandalcohol;whynot the pill? I think the answeris that the liberals among us

want to remove all restrictionsand stigmas on sexual activityof anykindbyanyone, and theyappear to be succeeding.”

Bill B.

“There is no age restrictionon when a woman can becomepregnant. Although there arereligious and social beliefs thatparents have the right to be in-volved inaminor’sdecisionsonmatters like this most healthyfamilies don’t need a law to re-quireayoungwomantoconsulther parents.

“The only situations where

this comes into play is in un-healthy families, suchaswhereparents are abusive, involvedin the minor’s pregnancy orhave failed to indoctrinatetheir child in their radical reli-gious beliefs.

“Or when the pregnancy isthe result of rape or coercivesex in a situation where thepregnant woman will have nosupport or fears for her safety.The federal judge made thecorrect decision.

“People who are opposed tobirth control can exercise theirbeliefs through education andsocial reform to make it easierfor women to bear childrenwhen parental or spousal sup-port is absent.

“The simple fact is that theUnited States does a lousy jobof providing for unwanted chil-dren.

“Until we fix that, peoplehave no right to try to imposetheir beliefs about reproduc-tionandbirthcontrol onothers.

“We practice freedom of re-ligion in this nation, which is orshould be understood to befreedomofbelief, since all reli-

gion is belief. That is a two-waystreet.

“Freedom to embrace yourideals and freedom from otherpeople’s ideals.

“We haven’t done a verygood job of recognizing that re-strictingaccess tobirth controlis imposing the views of onegroup on another, and it’s timewe put this issue in its properperspective.”

N.F.

“I haveyet to see ananalysisof the judge whomade this rul-ing. All too often the media fo-cuses on the rulings and ig-nores the person(s) givingthem.

“One has to wonder whysome judge, somewhere inAmerica believes he has thepower to order every last phar-macy in thisgreatandvast landto obey his command.

“ Even the president andCongress have no such power.

“If a pharmacy disobeys thejudge will he dispatch StormTroopers to the scene?”

Springfield Twp. recycles1,060 tons of waste

Mother Nature is let-ting me know that springis really here. Lookingout my kitchen windowinto the woods, I seetrees budding out and theforsythia is in bloom.

That tellsme theground andair arewarmer,about 50degrees orso. MyhusbandFrank gotthe gardenplowed andalso

plowed gardens for ourneighbors, so everyone iseager to start planting.We got most of our rootveggies planted, includ-ing potatoes, radishesand onions. The saladgreens are already pop-ping up, as are the peas.

I worked in my herbgarden for days hoeingout the chickweed, whichis in fact a winter annual.I gave as much to thechickens as they wouldeat, and I also put somein our salads. Chickweedcontains calcium, zinc,iron, vitamins A and Cand some B vitamins.Plus it’s an appetite sup-pressant! Our ancestorshappily picked chick-weed and dandelionleaves to replace vita-mins and minerals lostduring a meager winterdiet devoid of fresh

greens. As long as youhave a positive identifi-cation and the plants are“clean," enjoy themwhilethey are young and ten-der.

Simple yeast rollsI was trying to make

rolls similar to the Ha-waiian sweet yeast rollsthat you buy. I didn’tquite make it texturewise, but the taste issimilar. If you’re new tobaking or intimidated byit, try these. I think you’llbe pleased with results.I’m using fast/rapid riseyeast here, not regularyeast.

21⁄4cups flour1⁄4cup sugar1 package (1⁄4oz.) fast/rapidrise/quick-rise yeast

1⁄2teaspoon salt3⁄4cup warmwater (120-130degrees)

3 tablespoons butter,melted, plus extra forbrushing on rolls

Combine 11⁄2 cupsflour, sugar, yeast andsalt. Add water and 3tablespoons butter andbeat on medium speeduntil smooth, a fewmin-utes. Blend in rest offlour to form soft dough.Knead a fewminutes.This makes doughsmooth and developsgluten for texture. (Blessthe dough by making across with your hand. It’sa way to thank the Lordfor your abundant bless-

ings). Cover, let rest for10 minutes. Roll to a1⁄2-inch thick or so, cutwith biscuit cutter orglass. You’ll get ninecircles of dough if youuse a 21⁄2-inch biscuitcutter. Place 2 inchesapart on sprayed cookiesheet. Brush with butter.Cover and let rise inwarm place until dou-bled, about 40-50 min-utes.

Preheat oven to 375and bake until light gold-en, about 11-15 minutes.Brush with butter.

Yeast 101Regular yeast: For the

most part, this needs tobe proofed in warmwa-ter (105-115 degrees) for

several minutes until itstarts to foam.

Fast/rapid rise/quickyeast: A more aggressivestrain that can be mixedin with dry ingredients.It also tolerates higherheat.

Andre’s Jarlsbergcheese spread

You are the best read-ers and once again, came

to the rescue. If you re-call, KimMartin wantedto make Kroger’s Jarlsb-erg cheese spread athome. Gail C., a Burling-ton reader, told me shehad asked one of Krog-er’s deli employees acouple years ago aboutthe spread and was told itcontained just shreddedJarlsberg, mayo and redonion. Andre, anotherreader, forwarded hisversion and I’m sharingthat today. He said he

and others in his familyagree “it is just as goodas store bought." Andregrates the cheese withthe Cuisinart gratingblade. He chops the onionfine (about a 1/4 inch) byhand since Andre feelslike hand dicing willresult in less liquid onion.Smart tip!

Blend together

10 oz. or so Jarlsberg cheese1⁄2large red onion, 1⁄4-inchdice

Mayonnaise to taste

Tip from Rita’s kitch-en

Jarlsberg is mild,buttery, nutty and slight-ly sweet.

Can you help?Eddie Merlot’s “Ed-

die’s potatoes.” Lindawould like a clone forthis recipe from thisMontgomery, Ohio, res-taurant. “Creamy anddelicious,” she said.

NEWTOWN—A “templeof serenity” has opened inthe village.

At least that’s howKwan Jang Nim (Koreanfor “master instructor”)C.M. Brown hopes peoplewill regard the dojang, ortraining area, at his newHwa Rang Do studio at3603 Church St. in New-town.

Grandmaster Yum’sHwaRangDo - Cincinnatiis offering classes in theancient Korean martialart for adults and chil-dren, as well as self-de-fense classes for women.

Brown recentlymovedhis business from Ander-son Township.

“The (Newtown) build-ingwas inagoodspot foragood price,” Brown said.

“I hope our studentslearn the values of disci-pline, courtesy, respectand the self-esteem onegets from personal ac-

complishments.”Crystal Nudo of Mt.

Carmel andher 6-year-oldson, Brandon Carta, havebeenstudyingwithBrownfor about a year and fol-lowed him to Newtown.

“It’s fabulous physical-ly and mentally and it isfamily oriented,” Nudosaid.

Brown, who wasreared in New York Cityand lives now in ColerainTownship, said martialarts have always been abig part of his life.

“Like most of the mar-tial artists of my genera-tion, I became involved inmartial arts in the 1960safter watching the GreenHornet television series,starring the legendaryBruce Lee,” Brown said.

Brown studied Ju-Jit-su,KungFuandTaeKwonDo, before settling onHwaRangDo(TheWayofthe FloweringManhood).

“Hwa Rang Do is themost diverse and compre-hensive martial arts sys-

tem in the world,” Brownsaid.

“Its study integratesthe mental and physicaldisciplines in such a wayto enable the student torealize their full poten-tial.”

For more than 20years, Brown has beenteaching Hwa Rang Dostudents Wae-Gong (ex-ternal exercises), Nae-Gong(internalexercises),MooGi-Gong (weapon ex-ercises) and Shin Gong(Mental-strengtheningexercises).

He also teaches theHwaRangDo code of eth-ics, which emphasizescourage, justice, brother-hood and loyalty to coun-try, parents and teachers.

“This code is what sep-aratesusfrommostall theothermartial art andmar-tial sport organizations,”said Brown, who writes acolumn called “The LastWord” in Tae Kwon DoTimes magazine and pro-duced and directed the

“Warrior’s Realm” and“Men of Bronze & Fire”television shows.

The Friends of the Pub-lic Library of Cincinnati &HamiltonCountycouldnotsurviveif itwerenotfor itsvolunteers.

Last year at theFriends’ Warehouse inHartwell, 100 regular vol-unteers sorted, priced anddisplayed books in thewarehouse that holdsmore than 80,000 booksand other items for in-housesalesandsalesat theMain Library andbranches throughout theyear.

“We had about 500 ac-tive volunteers over thecourse of last year – manywere one-time volunteerswho helped at specificsales, like the annual Junesale at the Main Library,”said Rob Monteserin, vol-unteer manager. “This in-cludes about 100 regularvolunteerswhoworkatthewarehouseand12at theLi-brary Friends’ Shop.”

Volunteers contributedabout 12,000 hours of ser-vice last year that includ-ed:

» 7,500 hours at theHartwell warehouse

» 1,500 hours at the Li-brary Friends’ Shop

» 2,000 hours at theJune book sale

» 1,000 hours for othersales/miscellaneous work

Volunteer Dave Ed-mundson of Glendale hasworked at the warehousefor15 years.He began vol-unteeringwhile still teach-ing full-time for ButlerCounty Schools when ap-proached to volunteer by aretired librarian. Now thathehimself isretired,heen-joys coming in once ortwice a week to unpack,sort, andpricebooksat thewarehouse.

Diana McBride of Col-lege Hill enjoys workingwith vintage and classicchildren’s books at the

warehouse. It is her job tosort and price the books,including some that maybe valuable first editions.But oftentimes, she says,even though some of thebooks are classics ormorethan 100 years old, thatdoesn’t necessarily makethem valuable but justgood values for someonewho wants a vintage copyof an old classic.

Some volunteers, likeAndrea O’Neill, have onlyworkedat thewarehouse afewmonths.Many, howev-er, like Maryhelen West,Lois Cody, Mary Heckler,and Cheri Ann Allison,have more than ten yearsof service.

Plenty of people likesports, but few take theirlove of the game to the ex-treme like John Skurkay.

TheWhiteOakmanbe-gan collecting sportsmemorabilia as a child,gathering up soda bottlesto trade in for money tobuy baseball cards. Now65 and retired, Skurkaytook advantage of his jobas a sales manager toscour the country forbaseball, football and bas-ketball cards – at one timeamassing a collection ofmore than1million cards.

In the late 1980s, he ex-panded into collectingsports figurinesandalongthe way snagged hun-dreds of other sportsitems, like pennants, post-ers and cut-outs, whiskeybottles, stadium seats andautographed balls, amongother items. Skurkayshowcases the collection,which he values at around$300,000, in a 1,200-square-foot room in hisbasement.

About the collection:Hundreds of thousands ofTopps baseball, basket-ball and football playingcards. There‘s more than1,600 figurines of football,basketball, baseball andsome boxing. About 1,000of those are Starting Line-up figures (sports actionfigures manufactured byCincinnati-based Kennerand later Hasbro from1988 to 2001).

How’d you get start-ed? I played football, bas-ketball and baseball inhighschoolandbasketballand baseball in college atCapitol University. Myson played quarterback.We’reafamilyofsports-a-holics. The Starting Line-ups sets came out in 1988and my youngest sonwanted them. This wassomethingwecoulddo,fa-ther and son. I got hooked.

Most valuable piece:Babe Ruth rookie cardfrom 1933. When I was akid, about 10 years old, Iknew a kid who had a boxof190baseball cards fromthe 1930s. I rememberedthose all those years andwhen I went back for my25th high school reunion Ibought the box for $200.The cards were worth$28,400 about 20 to 25years ago. I’ve sold mostof the cards, but still havethe Babe Ruth. At onetime, it was probablyworth about $25,000 andnow it’s worth about$10,000.

Favorite piece: I grewup inClevelandas an Indi-ans fan. When theyopened Cleveland Stadi-um in 1932, they gave ev-

eryone a cigarette holderwith the Cleveland Indi-ans logo. My dad got thatandwhenhedied, I got hisstuff. It’s inpristinecondi-tion and has the originalbox.It’ssorare.Itcouldgofor $1,000.

Most interestingfinds? A 1933 Babe Ruthchildren’s belt bucklefashioned after the 1932baseball card. Most peo-ple have never seen one.The hardcore collectorsget sweaty holding it intheir hands. I was on abusiness trip in Montreal25 years ago and ran intothisguyatabar.Hehadin-herited a shoebox full ofstuff from his grandfa-ther. I was able to get theBabeRuthbeltbuckleand1930s baseball cards for a

couple hundred dollars.The buckle is so rare younever see it anywhere. It’shard to put a price on it.

Most bizarre item: Isaw this baseball-shapedthing at Trader’s Worldand it was an aquarium. Ibought it for $5, took ithome and made it into awall lamp. It’s one of akind.

What keeps you col-lecting? I really like theway things are all num-bered and ordered. I’d beworking on a set for 20years andget down to thatlast little check in mybook. It was a real thrillwhen you got that last

card. I like to show mystuff and make peoplesmile. People I’ve met atconventionshavecomeallthewayfromCalifornia tosee Big John’s collection.I’ve had grown men startcrying because it takesthem back to when theywere10 years old.
