COLLECTION TIME Leonardi HYDE PARK — A book is just a corner away. Last year, Maggie Gieseke set up a Little Free Library at the corner of Observatory and Burch avenues. She had heard a story about the Little Free Library on Na- tional Public Radio. “I knew we had a good cor- ner for it,” she said. “We have a lot of foot traffic.” The Little Free Library is an honor-based exchange system in which people can borrow books from a small enclosed shelf set up at a specific loca- tion. In turn, the borrowers are encouraged to donate books of their own. “Every day we get new books in,” said Gieseke, who is a resident of Hyde Park. “(It’s) a big turnover.” Books range from “The Li- on, the Witch and the Ward- robe” to “Les Miserables.” People who set up the librar- ies are known as stewards. Gie- seke’s location is easily identi- fied by the stone pig which sits adjacent to it. Her library is called the “Big Pig Little Free Library.” “It’s a great idea,” said Hyde Park resident John Abney, who frequently picks up books at the Observatory location. “I like the convenience of it.” Gieseke started her library last year, and several weeks ago added a children’s niche that includes a stone bench. Her husband, Karl, built the niche for her as a Mother’s Day present. The collection is divided equally between adult and chil- dren’s books. “I like the simplicity of it,” said Gieseke describing the li- brary’s appeal. “It builds a con- nection exchanging books. There’s something nice about that.” Books can be obtained from the Little Free Library year round at any hour of the day.

FORREST SELLERS/THE COMMUNITY PRESS A little, free library for all By Forrest Sellers [email protected] As the city of Cincinnati nears its June 1 budget deadline, many residents are urging officials to reconsider some of the cuts to reduce the $35 million deficit. Part of the deficit reduction plan includes laying off police officers, firefighters and other city employees; implementing furlough days for administra- tive staff; closing pools and rec- reation centers around the city; and reducing funding to neigh- borhood and business district support programs and outside entities like the Greater Cincin- nati Film Commission and the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce. But one proposal that’s drawn significant criticism and dom- inated two of the public budget hearings is the proposed $1.2 million cut to the Cincinnati Parks. The Cincinnati Board of Park Commissioners – a group of ap- pointed volunteers who decide how to spend the money City Council allocates and approves for the parks – outlined a long list of cuts in mid-May. Those include closing dozens of parks, including Alms Park in Columbia Tusculum, reducing the frequency of mowing and trash pickup and turning off wa- ter features and fountains, in- cluding the Kilgour Fountain in Hyde Park Square. The Friends of Alms Park, one of the parks advisory coun- cils, is urging both city officials and the park board to consider other ways to meet the budget reduction other than closing parks. “We want to come out very strongly for the value we see in the parks and the way (Director) Willie Carden and his depart- ment manages the parks,” said Arlene Golembiewski, a Colum- bia Tusculum resident and co- chair of Friends of Alms Park, at a recent community council meeting. “We think the parks are such a key and visible part of the city, and the size of the cuts they’re being asked to make now is very high relative to the value of the parks, the value they bring to the city as a whole and to the individ- ual neighborhoods.” The proposed $1.2 million in cuts represents about 12 to 13 percent of the park department’s total general fund budget. There are competing budget cut plans for the parks depart- ment. City Manager Milton Do- honey proposed cutting seven full-time employees, raising the admission fee to Krohn Conser- vatory by 50 cents and borrow- ing money from park reserve funds. But the park board does not want to lay off full-time em- ployees or use the reserve mon- ey. If the $1.2 million figure stays the same in city council’s final budget, 60 to 100 seasonal park employees would be cut, said Deborah Allison, spokeswoman for the parks department.

It was a way to engagestudents in world history.

In 1987, near the end ofhis first year teaching atMariemont High School,Donald Books began a pro-ject that’s endured formore than two decades.

“I thought, how could Imotivate them to becomemore interested in historyand came up with this artproject,” he said.

“Iwant thekids to reallydo something that intereststhem, so they can chooseany culture, any era of his-tory from ancient right totoday and it doesn’t neces-sarily have to be anythingwe’ve studied in class.”

Books said he is not ar-tistically inclined and al-ways gives other studentsan option to prepare a re-port or other end-of-yearproject.

At first, few studentschose to create a piece ofart. Now, Books said morethan half of the classchooses that art option.

Over the years, Books’students have createdpaintings of Rosie the Riv-eter and Anne Frank,sketches of the Palace ofVersailles in France and acathedral in Italy, sculp-

tures of Japanese pagodasand the Roman Colosseum.

There also was a glassmosaic pyramid scene, alife-sizecutout ofNapoleonBonaparte and a Germanflagmade out of pop tabs.

Those pieces are nowdisplayedalongwithothersin a permanent “GalleriaHistorica” at the highschool.

“It’s just absolutelyamazing,and itexceedsmywildest dreams by far,”Books said of the quality ofwork.

“There is such a varietyof different cultures anddifferent eras of historyrepresented. It would be ashame to get rid of it so Iwanted to leave (the art-work) to the school and thefuture students who comethrough here.”

Galleria Historica fea-

tures works from 1988 tothe present day. Books,who is retiring next year,collected more than 150pieces of this historical art-work for display.

Hesaidhehopestheoth-er social studies teacherscontinue the project andthey will have to decidewhich pieces are rotated inand out of the gallery.

“I thought it was a greatidea and this is an opportu-nity to showcase our stu-dents’ interests and love ofhistory over the years,”said Mariemont HighSchool Principal Jim Ren-ner.

“It’s something they’llbe able to comeback to andshow their children thatthey were able to contrib-ute to this great body ofwork.

“He has inspired hun-dreds of kids to take an in-terest in history, and (thequality of the art) is just atestament to our students.They always go above andbeyondwhat your expecta-tions are.”

The gallery is outsideroom19atMariemontHighSchool and open duringregular school hours.

The remainingworkers must focus onthings that generatemoney like Krohn Con-servatory, educationand nature programs,and its premier rentalfacilities like Ault Parkpavilion, she said.

Golembiewski saidthey’re urging resi-dentstospeakupinsup-port for the parks, andThe Friends of AlmsParkisaskingforsigna-tures on a letter thatwill be sent to city offi-cials and the parkboard.

“The parks are avery visible asset, andwe do not want to seethat erode,” Golem-biewski said.

“We want to encour-age the park board toworkwithcitymanagerand City Council mem-bers to come up with(other) strategies andconsider the conse-quences of closing theparks. If we have ne-glect or deterioration itwill cost money to re-verse that when theycome out from underthese budget cuts.”

Council must figureout a spending plan byJune 1 so council hastime to finalize it byJuly 1, the start of thefiscal year.

Engineering choices areendless and the opportunitiesare plentiful.

That was the message fromfive Masters of Engineeringstudents from the Universityof Cincinnati who visited St.Ursula Academy Engineeringand AP science students inclass.

Among the guest speakerswere two St. Ursula Academyalumnae, Rebecca Matthewsand Cara Hemmer, who re-member making those impor-tant choices about colleges andmajors when theywere in highschool just a few years ago.

Matthews and Hemmerwere joined by U.C. engineer-ing classmates Zach Nieberd-ing, Madeline Adams andThaddaes Vess to share detailswith the St. Ursula juniors andseniors about the wide choicesof engineering majors and ca-reer paths that are now avail-able to today’scollegestudents.

They detailed the variouskinds of engineering programsincluding aerospace, environ-mental, civil, computer, chem-ical, construction manage-ment, biomedical and mechan-ical, to name a few.

They also listed the localcompanies that hire engineersandwhatkindsofworktheydo.

Hemmer shared some per-

sonal stories about finding herway. “I started in pre-med, butquickly realized that engineer-ing was what really intriguedme. St. Ursula really preparedme for the engineering pro-gram I’m enrolled in now.”

TheSt.Ursula students thenparticipated on an engineeringchallenge to build the highesttower, using just spaghetti andmarshmallows. The studentsshowed they already know athing or two about structuralengineering.

Matthews said she was ex-cited to comeback to talk to thestudents who are making deci-

sions just like she did a fewyears back. “I’ve gained someamazing experiences throughengineering. I just completedan internship at NASA’s JetPropulsion Lab in California.

“These St. Ursula studentsare getting a great engineeringfoundation that they can buildupon in college where they canalso seek out amazing educa-tion opportunities.”

Teachers Chuck Strubbeand Emily Rosen combinedtheir classes for the presenta-tion. They teach engineeringand AP science classes at St.Ursula Academy.

St. Ursula Academy students test their engineering skills by building a tower from spaghetti andmarshmallows. THANKS TO JILL GREVER CAHILL

TOURNAMENTBRIEFS

ByMark D. Motzand Scott [email protected]@communitpress.com

HYDE PARK — RodneySpaulding coaches baseball,where style points and hits arenice, but not nearly as impor-tant as runs.

Accordingly, Withrow’s sev-en losses by three runs or lesswere heartbreaking, but stillcounted toward their 7-18 over-all record. The Tigers finishedthird in the Cincinnati MetroAthletic Conference at 6-5 be-hind Taft andWestern Hills.

Coming into the Eastern Cin-cinnati Conference in 2015,Spaulding took on Anderson,Milford and Loveland this sea-son. They also aggressivelyscheduled PurcellMarian, Rog-er Bacon, McNicholas, CHCA,Colerain and Summit CountryDay.

“Weplaymostof these teamsnon-league everyyear,” Spauld-ing said. “In order to get there,wehave to see it onaregularba-sis. You have to see that level ofbaseball.”

Against their future leagueopponents, they had an earlylead on Anderson; lost by a runto ECC champ Milford; lost bytwo toWalnutHills anddropped

a pair of close games to second-place Loveland.

Against Loveland’s Tigers inthe tournament on May 14,Withrow jumped out to a 3-0lead, but eventually fell short7-4.

“We’vegot toget towherewecan finish a game the way westart,” Spaulding said. “Wecome out of the gate real fo-cused and then hit a dead spotaround the third or fourth in-

ning.”In addition to their ECC con-

tests, Withrow defeated CMACchampWesternHillsand lostbyjust a run to tournament-testedSummit.

Patience has been a key forSpaulding in a season full of“what ifs”.

“It’s been constant work,building a JV teamandhaving ateam to feed into (varsity),”Spaulding said. “We feel confi-

dent we’re going in the right di-rection.”

The Tigers lose six seniorsaltogether, including .340-hit-ting Shawn Stallworth andDeAngelo Boynton at .329.

The 2014 Braves will be builtaround Malik Bland, RaheemHassan, Muhammad Groomes,De’Shannon Oates and TerrellBess.

“We’re looking forward togetting those kids as seniorsand I’m sure they’ll continue tolead us,” Spaudling said.

Hassan led the CMAC inhome runs and runs batted inand Bland, Hassan andGroomes all have had somepitching success.

Bland led the league in hit-ting at .500 and has a 6-foot-3athletic build that has servedhim well as Withrow’s startingfootball quarterback. He alsowas on the Tigers basketballteam and catches and playsshortstop for Spaulding whennot on the mound.

“His family has talked aboutnarrowing his focus his senioryear,” Spaulding said. “He’s agreat kid, great student andfrom a good family.”

MASON — Ever since Davidscored a first-round knockoutagainst the giant Philistine, pa-ganismhasbeen in short supplyon the sports pages.

Especially for teams atCatholic schools.

And yet...Summit Country Day won

the Division III sectional base-ball titleMay 23 at Prasco Park,beating Madeira 5-4 in a gamethat took two days to completebecause of rain and lightning.

The win came thanks inlarge part to a two-out, two-RBIhit to right field by sophomoreMark Peterson in the seventhinning as the Silver Knightstrailed 4-3.

“All year I’ve been hittingline drives right at people andthe baseball gods finally gaveme one,” Peterson said. “I obvi-ously didn’t hit it great, but itgot down. I had had a few bad

at-bats; it was a tough game sofar, so it was a blast. Helpingthese seniors finally beat Ma-deira means a lot to them.”

And to head coach TriffonCallos.

“We lost to them in the samegame - the sectional finals - lastyear 3-2 in the bottom of theninth on a throw that got away,”he said. “I’ve been telling thekids all year we were going to

match up with Madeira again.They’re a great team. It’s greatto finally beat them.

“(Peterson) has comethrough for us all year. I’mproud of him. That’s as big a hitas you’re going to see.”

Because of the rains, seniorTommy Crowl was in theunique position to both startand save the game. He threwthree innings of a 1-1 tie beforethe skies opened.

“I actuallydid think Iwasgo-ing to start again tonight,” hesaid. “My pitch count was low. Iwent home last night and wasicing and heating my arm, get-ting ready.”

Instead Christian Kuethetook the ball to begin the fourthinning.

“I wanted the ball, but Chris-tian has been great in relief forus all year,” Crowl said. “He dida great job against a great teamkeeping us in the game.”

Summit Country Day sophomore Mark Peterson delivered a two-RBI hit in the seventh inning to drive in the winning runs in a 5-4 sectionaltournament victory against Madeira High School May 23. MARK D. MOTZ/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

A publication of

I’d like to tell you aboutmy best friend, Zeus. Zeus isa 2-year-old Maine Coon cat,whom I adopted from a localanimal shelter – STAF (SaveThe Animals Foundation),located in Fairfax.

Zeus is thethird cat I’vehad and, likehis prede-cessors, he’ssweet, loyal,funny, lovingand just areally goodfriend. A bestfriend, infact. Thatmay soundstrange to

those of you who aren’t “catpeople” or even “pet people,”but it’s true.

Before Zeus, I had Husebyand Max, both of whom Iacquired under strange cir-cumstances … or whatseemed strange at the time …but looking back it’s clearthat it was not an accident orcoincidence that they endedup with me – it was a bless-ing.

I had Huseby from 2001 to2009 and Max from 2007 to

2012. I miss them dearly, butam so thankful they’re partof my life.

I say “part of my life” inpresent tense because petstend to leave little paw printson our hearts which can nev-er be erased and never fadeaway, and I strongly believethey are with us (in spirit)even after they’ve gone on.

I knew that once they hadboth crossed the RainbowBridge, I wanted to get mynext cat from a shelter, whenthe time was right. That timecame last September.

Not knowing the process… or even where to begin … Iwent on the recommendationof a very good friend – who isa volunteer at STAF – tocheck them out. I had no ideawhat kind of journey I’d justbegun, but like most things inlife it was a learning experi-ence and a journey I’m glad Iwent on.

It’s sort of strange “catshopping,” so to speak. It’s avery emotional process.There are so many cats thatneed homes, and of course Iwanted to take them all.

I met lots of cats and aftera few weeks of visiting the

shelter I got my belovedZeus. On the day I went toofficially adopt him andbring him home I was hopingI’d made the right decisionand chosen the right cat, aspet adoption is a lifelongcommitment.

I pulled into the STAFparking lot and in the brightblue September sky was a bigwhite cloud in the shape of apaw print. I couldn’t arguewith that!

It was a pretty clear signthat I had chosen the rightcat. And now, eight monthslater, I’m certain of it.

And, anyway, he chose me.With that I would like to

let you know that June is“Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month”and if you’ve been thinkingabout getting a cat and youhave room in your home andin your heart please consideradopting.

Your new best friend –your puuuurrfect companion– could be waiting for you atyour local animal shelter.Mine was.

Joy Klinger is a resident of Madi-sonville.

How I met my best friend

JoyKlingerCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Last week’s question“Do you think IRS officials tar-

geting conservative groups is aone-time mistake or does a cul-ture of abusing its power existwithin the organization? Why orwhy not?”

“I think people are giving theIRS too much credit for target-ing conservative groups. Theyare generally overworked andunderfunded and do not have alotof spare timetopursuepoliti-cal agendas.

“Groups with certain key-words in their names, like theones allegedly targeted, haveabused the tax system for yearsby claiming to be charitieswhen, infact, theywerepoliticallobbying organizations.

“It ismybelief that theywere‘profiling’ these groups for au-dit for legitimatepurposes.Thiswas likely a well intentioned,but bungled move on their part.

“As a CPA practicing beforethe IRS, I deal with them fre-quently and, for the most part,they are sincere governmentemployees trying to do a diffi-cult job. When they do theirbest, everyone hates them andwhen they back off, Congressinvestigates them for not catch-ing the tax cheats.”

F.S.D.

“Tough call. I do believethere is politics involved in thedecision to flag these groups.Nevertheless, the IRS is a huge,cumbersome bureaucracy.

“I think ineptitude, uncertainguidelines and direction and the‘snail’s pace’ movement of anygovernment entity also played apart.

“Don’tgetmewrong,Iamnotan Obama supporter. I think,however, the Republicans canget a lot of mileage out of this(and I don’t blame them). Whenthe shoe’s on the other foot thesame thing happens.”

T.B.

“I got politically active inearly 2009, including participat-ing in Tea Party events, writingletters to the editor and email-ing and calling politicians of

both parties on matters impor-tant to the Tea Party.

“In late 2009my personal taxreturn for 2007was audited, thefirst and only time I have everbeen audited. My return for2007 contained nothing very un-usual as compared to any otheryear.

“Of course, I can’t prove it,but I absolutely believe that Iwas targeted as a result of mypolitical activities. I have heardcomments fromotherconserva-tives who had similar experi-ences with the IRS.

“By the way, after manyhours of work to answer all theIRS questions I did not owethem anything.”

T.H.

“I think this is just anotherexample of the government’strying to suppress theconserva-tive movement in order to in-sure the success of its socialistagenda items. Strike fear in thehearts of the people and theywill shut up, allowing things asheinousas theThirdReich tooc-cur.

“It’s starting to happen hereandeverything isbeingcouchedin the positive rationale that ‘it’sfor the common good.’ Even theseemingly beneficial reversemortgages are just anotherwayfor the feds to grab up land thatwould otherwise go to the heirsof the elderly people who arejust using this tactic as a way toreduce their living costs.

“When the governmentstarts overstepping its legalbounds, legislatingeveryaspect

of our lives and the choices weused tobe free tomakeweknowthat tyranny has arrived. Bothpolitical parties are guilty ofthis.

“It’s time to reclaim our Con-stitutionandgetback to thehon-or and dignity that this countryonce had.We need a new, strongthird party filled with uncor-rupted politicians who can stopthe insanity before we find our-selves living in the USSR (Unit-ed States Socialist Republic). Itdidn’twork in the originalUSSRand it won’t work here, at leastnot while older Americans whoremember our God-given free-doms are still alive.

“Unfortunately, our systemofeducation ispromotingtheso-cialist, liberal agenda and theyounger generation thinks thatthis is the way to go. I miss the‘old’ America ... a country inwhich people worked hard for aliving andwould rather die thanto live off of the sweat of anoth-er person’s brow.

“Liberal, social policies de-stroy this desire to work hardand they also destroy morality,ethics, and common decency.”

C.H.

“Oh, I am sure this is a politi-cal motivated move of the cur-rent administration on part ofthe IRS. Being the history of abully, the IRS in the most parthas been more user friendlythese past few years.”

O.R.

“I think it is a one-time mis-take based on poor oversight.

“However, since the Tea Par-ty mantra is anti-tax, and notwanting to pay anything back tothe country, I don’t mind thatthey were being investigated.

“If any group would seek toabuse a non-profit status to fur-ther their political agenda itwould be the Tea Party.”

I.P.

“As the IRS scandal unfolds Isee a pattern reminiscent of theugly politics of Lyndon Johnsonand Richard Nixon. Supposedlytheir tyrannicalabuseoftheIRStoharassopponentscausedboth

Republicans and Democrats tounite to eradicate any suchabuse of any government agen-cy including the FBI.

“Hillary Clinton personallyassisted with the prosecution ofNixon and lived in the WhiteHouse for eight years. She alsowas thehighest rankingCabinetmember of President Obama’sfirst administration, yet the ug-liness came back two or moreyears ago.

“This is anythingbut ‘politicsas usual.’ This ongoing policywithin Obama’s IRS convincesme that he sponsored it, or heknewof it and approved it, or heis guilty of incredible ignoranceof the innerworkingsof thegov-ernment he volunteered to lead.

“Regardless of Obama’s role,the Oval Office occupant is theone who must take the blameand the consequences of thisoutrage.”

R.V.

“I think that if the IRS is abranch of government that theyare crooked. I don’t think thatthis is a one-time mistake, butthat these things happen all thetime and we don’t see it. Maybethis will start to wake us up towhat the government is capableofdoingright in frontofournos-es.

Dave D.

“Oh Heavens, no. These ‘or-ganizations’ exist for the purepurpose of obstructing theworkof the IRS. They were seeking atax status that only applies togroups which are spending lessthan 10 percent of their moneyonpoliticalwork,which theyob-viously do not qualify for.

“This is exactly what theAmerican Nazi party did toidentify Skokie, Illinois, as thefocus of their parade effort.They mass-mailed small townsfor permission to parade andwhen one town finally rejectedthemtheymadeanationalsceneabout it.

“The Tea Party has probablyalso sent hundreds of off-the-wall requests to IRS, asking forcharitable exemption status fortheir local chapters. Most of

them were probably handledwell, or ignored. But doubtless-ly, someof thembecameboggeddown as Congress cuts IRSfunds and the workload in-creased for the people whosejob it is to handle tax exemptionrequests.

“It is an American privilegeto be able to criticize govern-ment. I’d like to see those folksfigure out how to drive theircars if the government didn’tbuild roads or them though.There’s a distinction betweencriticizing and trying to ob-struct business.

N.F.

“I certainly do not believethis is aone-timemistakeor thatit is limited to our local branch.In fact, according to a recenteditorial in theWall Street Jour-nal (by James Bovard 5/15/13),abuse of the power of the IRSgoes back to the 1920s, manytimes with or at presidential di-rection. I have often heard itsaid that the IRS is the mostfearedU.S. government agency.It is easy to see why.”

When I put in requestsfor recipes, I usually justput them in once, maybetwice. If I don’t get aresponse from you orhave nothing inmy files, Igo on to the next request.But this one fromMarkBurnhimer has touchedmy heart in a way that I

am asking,once again,if any ofyou canhelp.

Marktold me:“After aminorhealthissue, mycaregiverhad shared

withme that he and hiswife really missed Zino’sand that he would beeternally happy if some-one had some of the oldrestaurant recipes, in-cluding the Zino Burger.Have you got anythingthat might resemble thatin your file? I’d like to payback someone for theexcellent care I receivedwhile I was not at mybest.” Mark has continuedto follow up, asking if I’vereceived anything. So ifany of you can come even

close, or can get the reci-pe, do let me know.

Kit Whiteman’s cornbread

“I’m such a fan andread your recipes everyweek. Here’s my recipefor corn bread. So quickand easy and tastes good,too,” Kit said. She’s righton all three counts.

1box Jiffy Yellow Cakemix1box Jiffy Corn Breadmix

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Follow packagedirections for each box.Place all ingredients inone bowl and blend. Pourinto a greased 8-inchround or square pan andbake 25minutes, untilgolden brown.

Cornbread fromscratch

Check out my Cookingwith Rita blog for thisrecipe. Go to Cincin-nati.Com/blogs.

Buffet broccoli saladBroccoli was on sale at

the grocery and I had acraving for this salad. It’snot low fat or low sugar,but it’s always the first togo on the buffet table.

Salad

Mix together:

1 large head of broccoli, cutinto florets (if stems aretender, use them, too,sliced thinly)

Generous 1⁄2 cup chopped redonion

2 cups shredded cheddarcheese

1⁄2 pound bacon, cut up andsautéed

DressingWhisk together:

1 cupmayonnaise1⁄2 cup sugar1⁄4 cup redwine vinegar ormore to taste (I usually addmore)

Pour dressing oversalad ingredients. Tosswell. When serving, digdeep so that you get allthe goodies that tend tofall to the bottom.

Tonya Fischer’sdetox bath

After I shared recipesfor natural scrubs, etc., Ihadmore requests fornatural bath soaks, espe-cially ones using Epsomsalts. I met Tonya duringa presentation I did atMacy’s corporate officeson healthy living. Sheworks with ExecutiveChef Rick Toennis. Rickand Tonya believe, as I do,inMother Nature’s heal-ing powers. She told meabout a soothing detoxbath she enjoys, and Iasked her to share therecipe.

“When I’m not feelingso good or after a longday at work or workout, Isoak in this bath,” Tonyatold me.

I’m going to make thismyself and soothe thesoremuscles I now have

after our car got hit witha 200-pound deer.1⁄3 cup Epsom salt1⁄3 cup sea salt1⁄3 cup baking soda1 tablespoonpowdered/ground ginger

1 cup apple cider vinegar10-20 drops Eucalyptusspearmint oil, or justEucalyptus oil

Draw a bath with wa-ter as hot as you stand it.As tub fills, add all ingre-dients. Water will turnyellow/orange but don’tworry. Soak for about 40minutes. While soaking,drink 24 oz. ice water. Ifyou want, rub skin gently(always toward yourheart) to stimulate lym-phatic system and helpclean out toxins. Dry offand drink another 24 oz.water as soon as possible,then relax.

Tips from Tonya

Epsom salt: Makes yousweat, reduces inflamma-tion, relievesmuscleaches.

Sea salt: Helps leachout toxins, soothes opensores or blemishes.

Baking soda: Balancesan overly acidic system,softens water, skin andhelps eliminate chlorine.

Ginger: Increasescirculation, opens pores,makes you sweat.

Vinegar: Restoresacid-alkaline balance,softens skin, helpful foracne.

Massage oil: Relaxesbody and senses.

The Hyde Park Centerfor Older Adults, 2800Erie Ave., is makingchanges in its lunch ser-vice to give diners morechoices in entrées andserving times.

Diners can now chooseto have baked fish orboneless chicken as a sub-stitute for any daily en-trée. Diners can alsochoose to have lunch at11:30 a.m. or any time upuntil 12:30 p.m., ratherthan the traditional serv-ing time of noon, to ac-commodate people withdifferent schedules.

Reservations need to

be made at 321-6816 by 9a.m. of the desired day, in-cluding any change in en-trée or serving time.

These changes wereprompted by Hyde ParkCenter’s 2012 market re-search study, which fea-tured a survey mailed to4,000 older adults in itsservice area. Of the 466who responded, 62 per-cent expressed high ormedium interest in diningat the center, 48 percentindicated interest in long-er serving times, and 38percent stated a prefer-ence for a light lunch.

Lunch is prepared inHyde ParkCenter’s kitch-en every Monday,Wednesday and Friday.Before and after lunch,diners may take part in avariety of center activ-ities including exercise,classes, games, discus-sion groups and more.

Menusandactivity cal-endars are posted on theCenter’s website,www.hpcenter.org, andavailable in public placesincluding local libraries,churches, and recreation

centers.Diners who live in

Hyde Park Center’s ser-vice area can get a ride tolunch by calling 321-6816in advance. The area cov-ers the East End, HydePark, Madisonville, Mt.Lookout, Oakley,O’Bryonville, and SouthNorwood. Diners don’thave to live in one of theseneighborhoods to come tolunch, only to get a ride.

The suggested contri-bution for a round trip is$3.

For lunch, the suggest-ed contribution for people60 and above is $4, whilethe cost for people underage 60 is $8.

The cost for coffee andtea is 50 cents per cup.

“Newguestsage60andabove aren’t expected tomake a donation at all thefirst time they come, sothey can get a ‘taste’ and,we hope, want to comeback often,” said Deb Cy-prych, Hyde Park Cen-ter’s executive director.

Sgt. Frank Buschmeierwas a waist gunner on thecrew of “Miss Irish” whenthey flew their first mis-sionMarch 3, 1944. Nearly70 years later, Friday,May10, 2013, the 90-year-oldWorld War II veteran re-ceived three medals heearned for his service.

U.S. Rep. Brad Wen-strup presented Busch-meier of Milford with theGood Conduct Medal,AmericanCampaignMed-al and POW Medal duringa ceremony at the Tri-State Warbird Museum inBatavia. All of Busch-meier’s children were onhand to see Wenstrup pinthemedals on their father.A crowd of people joinedgrandchildren, nieces,nephews, cousins and oth-er family towatch the cer-emony.

“I amhumbledandhon-ored to be able to be a partof something like this,”saidWenstrup.“I lovedtheline from the film ‘SavingPrivate Ryan’ where theysay: ‘Earn this.’Weneed toearn what they’ve left forus.They laid it all out. I amjust tickled to be any partof this.”

William Buschmeier,Frank’s son, contactedWenstrup to enlist his helpin finally securing theproper recognition andmedals earned by his fa-ther. Wenstrup said itmeant a lot to play a role ingetting the medals Busch-meier deserved, and tohelppreserve thememoryof that generation. Wen-strup reflected on some ofthe heroic efforts ofBuschmeier while heserved in the 350th BombSquadron of the 100thBombGroup.

“Anyone who served inthat capacity, served as aPOW,” said Wenstrup.“Think of the strength hemust have hadwithin him-self to be able to endurethat. And then to comehomeandliveanormal lifeas best they can. It’s amaz-ing.”

Buschmeier today usesawalkerorhisbaseballbatcrafted into a cane, to helphimstaysteadyonhisfeet.The bright cheery smilestretched across his facewould lightupanyroom.Ifthe family hasn’t told you,he’ll quicklywarnyou thatonce he gets started,there’s no stopping himfrom sharing his stories.Yet, like so many from“The Greatest Genera-tion,” Buschmeier is hum-ble about themedals.

“I didn’t really do any-thing to earn them,” hesaid. “I just turned 20when I went overseas.”

During the ceremony,Bill Buschmeier of Ander-son Township, shared a lit-tle about how his dadearned those medals withSecond Lt. Pilot John Gib-bons and the rest of thecrew of the B-17G FlyingFortress, named “MissIrish.” Like the missionMarch 4, 1944, despite acall back due to weather,the crew pressed on tocomplete the first bomb-ing of the capital of Ger-many. Just two days later,the crew flew one of themostcostlymissionsofall.

“What a historic day,”said Bill Buschmeier. “On06March 44, they took offonceagainforBerlinintheB-17 named “Miss Irish”This day proved to be oneofthemostcostlymissionsof the 8thAir Force; losing69 heavy Bombers and 14Fighteraircraft thatday.Itwas an almost continualrunning battle with the

Luftwaffe; to and from thetarget.”

The “Miss Irish” camehome inonepiece thatday.Such was the intensity oftheir aerial combat, Gen-eral Doolittle told them heknewofnoother crew thatreceivedsuchabaptismoffire. Then cameMarch 19,1944. The “Miss Irish”wasscheduled to fly an easymissiontheycalleda“milkrun” because there wouldbe little flak and no fight-ers. They were going tobomb V1 rocket sites onthe French coast.

“However, while overthe coast they began to en-counter German 88mmflak,” recounted BillBuschmeier, in his re-marks during the medalceremony.

First there was a burstat the front of the plane, asecond at the back, andthen a dead-on strike blastinto the radio room, nearlyblowing the aircraft in twoandinstantlykillingthera-dio operator. The blast lefta 7-by-12-foot hole in theplane. By the time Busch-meier turned around, thebody of radio operator EdWalker had disappearedthrough the hole.

“I called the pilot andsaid the whole radio roomhas been blown away,”Frank Buschmeier re-called. “Hecameback intothe bomb bay and all hecould see was the EnglishChannel down there, andthe water.”

Pilot John Gibbonscouldn’t swim, and knewquite well he couldn’t dog-gie paddle the EnglishChannel. The crew didwhatever they could tokeep the aircraft frombreaking up. Buschmeiersomehow spliced severedcrucial control cablesback together.

Gibbons regained con-trol of the plane. The crewthrew out weapons, am-munition and releasedbombsoutof thebombbayinto the sea. As their pilotpointed the crippled air-craft toward the nearestairfield, he ordered thecrew to bail out. They re-fused to jump; stickingwith him all the way.Buschmeier still says itwas the smoothest landingever.

“I always had faith inhim,” Buschmeier said.“He was a great pilot;calm, cool, and collectedguy. He didn’t get excited.I flewwith other guys thatwould panic. That’s thereason I said he was thegreatest pilot to sit behindthe yoke of the B-17. Hewasonehell ofapilot.Thatwas John Gibbons.”

FrankBuschmeierflewmany missions with otherpilotsonceGibbons tourofdutywasover.Asmissionsnumbered into the 30s - 35missions were required tocompleteatourofduty-hewas often awakened at2:30 a.m. to start the nextmission. His mind wan-dered to the unthinkableas he shook off sleep andbegan to prepare.

“Is this the day I’m go-ing down,” he wonderedthen. “Am I gonna bewounded? Am I gonna bekilled?What the hell is go-ing to happen? After a lit-tle while, it wears off be-causeyou’regetting readyto go. That takes yourmind off it.”

Then, on his 34th mis-sion, just one shy of the re-quired 35, Frank Busch-meier was shot down overGermany. Several of hiscrewmates were capturedand immediately hungfrom the trees and killed.He suffered a leg wound,was captured, taken pris-

oner, and then survivednine months as a prisonerof war.

“AfterIwascaptured,acivilian kept hitting me inthe face with a pistol and Iwas all bloody,” saidBuschmeier, recalling thestart of his ordeal. Twoguards grabbed Busch-meier and held him forhoursbeforecallinghimtocome. “Comewhat,” he re-sponded at the time. Hesays they told him theywere takinghimtoahospi-tal.

“You’re going to takeme out in the woods andshoot me,” he said he feltsure thatwashis fate then.He felt the terror. “I feltsure thatwaswhatwasgo-ing to happen.”

They took him to a hos-pital,puttwostitchesinhisseven-inch leg wound,spread sulphur on it, andwrapped it with crate pa-per. He was put in a wardwith the Luftwaffe pilots.

“I walked in there andno animositywas shownatall,” he said. “They almostsat up at attention in theirbeds. I’m sure they felt: ‘Iknewwhat Iwent through,I’m sure youwent throughthe same thing.’ Whyshould we fight now? It’sover and done with.”

In that moment, nearly70yearsago,FrankBusch-meier knew they were alljust men. But it was notover and done with. Hewas moved to anotherbuilding and remembersbeing leddownsteps into adungeon.Hewas locked ina sixbyeight roomwithaniron door which had a holewith a slide open door totalk through.

“What they did wascome back and stick a pis-tol through it,”hesaid. “I’dstoop back in the corner tomake it damn hard forthem. You’d have to be adamn good shot.”

Buschmeierwasheld ina German Stalag prisoncamp near the Baltic Sea.There were four com-pounds with thousands ofguys there. Once a monththey were allowed to goget a book from a library.His leg wound hadn’thealed enough to walkover to get a book. One ofthe other guys shared hisbooks with him.

“He could read realfast,” said Buschmeier.“He’d read a book thengive it tome.Then theRedCross sent footballs over,and softballs. I rememberwewereplaying football. Iwas this crippled guy that

couldn’t run two steps.”It was months before

his leg healed enough forhim to evenwalk; heneverthought about escaping.Just before they were lib-erated in April 1945, theRussian Guerillas wereclosing in. The end wasnear for the Germans.Buschmeier tells how Col-onelHubert “Hub” Zemkebrought his captivity to anamazing end.

“Zemke talked to theGerman commandant,”Buschmeier recalled. “Hesaid ‘Youknow it’s all over.Tell you what, tonight atmidnight take your guysand get out of here and I’lltakeover thecamp.’That’swhat they did.”

The next day, Zemkesent runners out to pickuptheAmericanmines. Theyopened the doors and guysjust started running. Somewent sight-seeing all overthe country. Buschmeierdoesn’t know how some ofthem ever got back. Whatdid he do?

“I stayed right there,”hesaid. “TheRussianGue-rillaswereinthetown.Youcould hear their tommyguns ‘brrr-att, brr-att’ allnight long.”

Finally C-46 cargoplanes came in and flewthem out of there. Busch-meier said they were tak-en to some place called“Camp Lucky Strike” upon the French coast. Ev-eryone slept in tents.There was one huge tentnicknamed “Grand Cen-tral Station.”

“Everybody walked inthere lookingforbuddies,”said Buschmeier. “Iwalked in there one dayandaguytappedmeontheback. I turned around and

here it was kid from backhome.”

Back home is exactlywhere Buschmeier went.His grandfather was oneof the founding fathers ofTerrace Park. It wasn’tlong before he met Elaineat a LeBlond Machinecompany picnic. Theymarried, had children andlivedoutasnormala lifeaspossible. Elaine passedaway three years ago atthe age of 87. Friday, May10, 2013, Wenstrup pinnedthreemedalsonthepocketof Buschmeier’s pinkshirt.

“Pink was Elaine’s fa-vorite color,” he said. “Iwore this to honor hermemory.”

With all his childrenthere to honor him,maybeFrank’s son said about hisfather:“Iamsolucky,”Billsaid. “It is so important tous because, even though itwas such a short period oftime, itwassuchanimpacton his life.”
