Mount Healthy is on track to demolish five blighted homes in the city. The bank-owned homes to be demolished are: » 7401 Werner Ave., » 1403 St. Clair Ave., » 7332 Forest Ave., » 7315 Forest Ave. and » 7614 Joseph Street. The city had a public hearing Oct. 2 to give the property own- ers an opportunity to discuss their property and then city council passed resolutions dur- ing a meeting after the hearing to proceed with demolition. “We’re doing the right thing by moving forward with tearing down these blighted proper- ties,” council President Donald Crank said. Mount Healthy is working with the Cincinnati Port Author- ity to raze the homes. “The port authority has funds available from the state through the settlement the state got on all the foreclosures,” Safety Service Director Bill Kocher said. “They’ve set up a land bank. They have almost $11 million for Hamilton County.” Kocher said the city will continue to work with the port authority to identify other homes in the city to be demol- ished. “At this point, we’re going to see these five houses through. They have been in various states of decline for years,” he said. The safety service director said that the city will start the “paper trail” with the port au- thority and he expects the homes to be demolished in No- vember should be complete by December or early next year. “We’re going to see how these first demolitions go and then look into identifying new properties,” he said. “I think council is committed to stay the course.” 1503 St. Clair Ave. THANKS TO BILL KNIGHT.

In July, the Finneytown Board of Education approved putting a 15-year1.98 mill levy on the ballot to raise $4.7 million for repairs, renovations and security at the schools.

On Oct. 10 the district had a meeting to discuss the bond-issue with the public and explain how the money would be spent should the levy pass. More than half of the money from the bond issue would be spent repairing and replacing roofs at the schools and for pav- ing.

“We’ve takensomeaddi-tional burden off the tax-payers,” he said. “We’vetried as hard as we can tonot ask for more moneythan we have to. We’re stillgoing to take care of someof those needs out of ourcurrent revenue streams.”

If the bond issue passes,thedistrictwouldhave$4.7million for capital projectsplus $1.8 million fromHouseBill 264, rebates andgrants leaving them tofund $1.8 million to reachthe overall goal of $8.3 mil-lion of capital improve-ments. Over the next sixyears, $1.1 million will betaken from the permanent

improvement fund and$725,125 from the generalfund.

If the levy doesn’t passthe district will have totake fromthecurrent oper-ating levyandgeneral fundto pay for improvements.

“We’re spending a lot ofmoney on these buildingsnowbecausewe’re just try-ing to keep them in shape.If the bond issue passes wecan extend the operatinglevy three years.

the district’s leadershipteam could serve as an in-terim superintendentthus alleviating any extraburden of training some-one who might only be inthe position for six

months. After some delib-eration, the idea was dis-missed as too much of adistraction from theircurrent duties.

The board presidentexplained the superinten-dent they choose will thebest fit possible for theschool district.

“The culture is going tostay the same,” he said.

The school board has acontract with the OhioSchool Boards Associa-tion to find both an in-terim and permanent su-perintendent. They havenot met with the associa-tion to determine a time-line to fill the positionsbut are expected to soon,Cleary said.

Director of School

“We’re really excitedabout working with theWinton Woods schoolboard to find their next su-

process of hiring a super-intendent. She said thatthe boards associationbreaks it down into fourphases from learningabout what the board islooking for to recruit-ment, recommendationand hiring a superinten-dent.

CincinnatiMayorMarkMallory, Cincinnati PublicSchools SuperintendentMary Ronan, and TheStrivePartnership’sExec-utive Director GregLandsman have an-nounced a new, joint ini-tiative that has won a$40,000 competitive na-tional grant from Cities ofService and Service Na-tion, funded by Target.

The grant will be usedto recruit and train 50reading tutors who willhelp 100 students in first,second and third grade infive targeted schools pre-pare to meet the Three-grade Guarantee.

TheCincinnatipartner-ship will target the grantfunds to help five Cincin-nati Public Schools acrossthe city: Roberts Paideia

Academy in East PriceHill, Rockdale Academyin Avondale, Mount AirySchool, Pleasant HillAcademy in College Hill,and Pleasant Ridge Mon-tessori School.

“It all starts with read-ing,” Mallory said. “Andthere is no better way tohelp our kids learn to readthan with one-on-one tu-tors who they can get toknow and trust. A commit-ted adult can make learn-ing to read fun. This grantis going to have a huge im-pact on the lives of a lot ofkids.”

Third Grade Reads is ahigh-impact service strat-egy in which the mayor’soffice leverages the pow-er of volunteer tutors tohelp children attain read-ing proficiency by the end

of fourth grade. Target ison track to give $1 billionfor education by the end of2015, to help kids learn,schools teach, and parentsand caring adults engage.

“With the state's newThird Grade ReadingGuarantee requiringreading proficiency bythe end of third grade, it'smore important than everthat we help our studentsmaster early literacyskills. This grant will helpus recruit and train com-munity volunteers to helpus reach this vital goal,”Superintendent Mary Ro-nan.

The partnership willuse the grant to supple-ment the region’s earlygrade-level reading cam-paign, Read On! The pro-ject will help prepare stu-

dents for the new ThirdGrade Guarantee byrecruiting50volunteer tu-tors to work with 100 stu-dents, purchasing newmaterial designed ex-pressly for young readers,and providing training forthe volunteers.

“We begin to break thecycle of poverty whenkids showup to kindergar-ten prepared,” said GregLandsman, executive di-rector of The Strive Part-nership. “We all but breakit when children are read-ing successfully by theend of 3rd grade – the re-search is that compelling.The Mayor, CincinnatiPublic Schools, andTargetare creating opportunitiesfor citizens to make surewe are doing just that formore kids.”

Grant to support 50 reading tutors

Hundreds of engravedhonor cups hang in the raf-ters of theCampErnst din-ing hall, each one repre-senting a camper who wascaring and displayed hon-esty, responsibility and re-spect. Among the metalcups is one for OliviaDunn.

She won an honorcamper award after dis-playing good characterduring the August weekshe attended the YMCAcamp in Burlington, Ky.

Counselor Kaitlyn Watersnominated her for theaward and wrote her com-ments on a certificate toDunn.

She wrote, “Your car-ing and fun-loving naturetouches the hearts of ev-eryone you meet. You nev-er stop amazing me withhow far you will go to helpanyone in need. You trulyrepresent this cup.”

The 12-year-old NorthCollege Hill resident hasattended Camp Ernst forthree years and she saidthis year she wanted tohave a cup on the ceiling.She said she andher friendnoticed two empty hooksabove their table whichthey hoped to occupy with

their own honor cups.“I had been working

very hard for it all week. Iwas crying when I got itbecause I was so happy. Itwas really exciting,” shesaid.

The camp’s founderWillard Wade created theaward in 1928 as a way torecognize good characterin campers.

“I knew it was a reallyspecial award and youhave to work hard to get it.You have to go above andbeyond,” Dunn said.

The St. Vivian Schoolseventh-grader said shetried to help people and bea good friend to everyone.

Even camp directorElizabeth Cochranwas im-

pressed by Dunn.“Olivia is a very influ-

ential camper and has im-pacted her peers throughsincerity and kindness inreal, every day terms,”she said. “We are veryproud of her.”

Dunn said she was stillsurprisedwhen shegot theaward.

“When I got it, it waslike a dream,” she said. “Iasked my councilor a fewtimes, ‘Is this actually hap-pening?’”

Changes in the evaluationsystem for teachers and admin-istrators, coupled with new Ohioperformance standards for stu-dents,mean teachers and admin-istrators will have a lot of newground to cover to be ready forthe next school year.

Instead of hiring large num-bers of substitute teachers tocover classes while the profes-sional development is held, theOhio Department of Educationhas granted school districts theuse of waiver days to hold pro-fessional development for itsstaff members.

Area school dis-tricts are takingadvantage of thosedays for additionalteacher in-servicespecific to the newstandards andevaluationsystem.

Northwest Lo-cal School DistrictSuperintendent Rick Glatfelterestimated his district wouldspend up to $200,000 to hire sub-stitutes for the professional de-velopment.

“This is statemandated,” saidboard member Pam Detzel. “Wedon’t have a choice. We have todo this.”

Andrew Jackson, assistant

superintendentof business ser-vices for the dis-trict, said itwouldhave been diffi-cult to start thenew evaluationsystem next yearwithout the pro-fessional devel-

opment made possible by thewaiver days. Glatfelter said thewaiver days will mean that mon-ey can now be redirected to helpoffset some of the expenses in-volved in implementing the newevaluation system.

Mount Healthy City DistrictSuperintendent Lori Handlersays the waiver days will save

her district money, too. She hasabout 250 teachers who will par-ticipate in training on thewaiverdays. It would cost $91 per sub-stitute – about $91,000 for thefour days – if the district hiredthem to cover for the teachers.

Northwest had its first waiv-er day Sept. 14 and its secondwaiver day of the school yearwas set forOct.12. There are twomore scheduled, one on Friday,Dec. 7, the other on Friday, May14.

The Mount Healthy districthad waiver days Aug. 21 andSept. 19. The district has twomore waiver days on the sched-ule, one on Wednesday, Nov. 7,the other on Wednesday, Feb. 6.

Dean Blase, a former Englishteacher for Clark MontessoriSchool, and a student in the firstcohort of the Harvard GraduateSchool of Education’s Doctor ofEducation Leadership Program,has begun a yearlong residencyworking with Cambridge(Mass.) Public Schools.

The recipient of 12 local andnational grants and awards, Bla-

se recently coauthored the book“Trust Me! I Can Read,” pub-lished by Teachers CollegePress, about new approaches totransforming high school Eng-lish students into passionatereaders.

Blase came to Harvard in Au-gust 2010 as a member of thefirst cohort of the leadershipprogram, a highly selective,practice-based doctoral pro-gram that prepares graduatesfor senior leadership roles inschool districts, government

agencies, nonprofit organiza-tions and the private sector. Thethree-year, tuition-free programis taught by faculty from thegraduate school, the HarvardBusiness School and the Har-vard Kennedy School. The pro-gram offers an unprecedentedapproach to preparing leadersequipped to transformtheAmer-icaneducationsysteminorder toenable all students to succeed inthe 21st-century.

The third-year residencycomponent of the program fol-

lows a two-year, intensive, inter-disciplinary curriculum focusedon learning and teaching, leader-ship and management, and un-derstanding and transformingthe education sector. Blase willspend the next 10 months in aleadership role alongside seniorleaders in the field.

In addition to the day-to-daywork on site, she will completeanddocumentastrategicprojectas part of the degree require-ments. In this project, Blase willhelp plan, implement and assess

a significant improvement ef-fort that is of high priority to theorganization, test her own theo-ries of change and reflect on herown leadership style. Unlike atraditional doctoral dissertation,this capstone experience isbased entirely in practice.

Blase will present her cap-stone work publicly in April to acommittee of her academic ad-viser, an additional Harvard fac-ulty member and a representa-tive from Cambridge PublicSchools.

COLLEGE HILL — When itcomes to cashing in goals, theMcAuleygolf team is 3-for-3 thisseason.

The Mohawks had a winningrecord (12-6) in dual matches,finished 10th in the Enquirer’sDivision I coaches’ poll, andqualified for the Division I dis-trict tournament by placingfourth at sectionals at HamiltonElks, Oct. 1.

The 2012 campaign markedthe program’s seventh straighttrip to districts, and 10th in thelast 13 seasons.

Andwhile the season came toan end at districts, the year willbe remembered as a time of per-severance and overachieve-ment, according to head coachErnie Petri.

“This was probably the mostsatisfying (trip to districts),” Pe-tri said. “We’re not as deep asusual. We had to kind of rely on

the top four and they camethrough and played as good astheycouldplay,maybeevena lit-tle better…on a very toughcourse,” Petri said.

At sectionals, junior DanielleDiLonardo led the Mohawks byshooting an 88. The total was thesixth best individual score at thesectional. Senior Jena Hubershot a 91, while senior Leslie Ad-ams (96) and junior Brianna

Burck (100) also contributed tothe score.

Burck is the perfect exampleof what Petri’s talking aboutwhen it comes to persevering.

She shot a respectable 47 onthe front nine, but struggled onthe final nine holes. If shewouldn’t have collected herself,theMohawksmight not have ad-vanced.

“She preserved and had she

given up, we might not havequalified,” Petri said.

After Burck finished, thesquadwas facedwith the task ofwaiting for other teams to com-plete their rounds to see if theirscore of 375 would hold.

The Mohawks ended up edg-ing out MND by three strokesand Milford by seven.

“(Waiting) was kind of excit-ing, and kind of nerve-wrackingfor us all,” Petri said with alaugh. Petri credited his assis-tant, John Gaughan, in helpingguide the Mohawks into dis-tricts. With a one-third of theseason remaining, McAuleylooked like it might not meettheir goal of reaching districtsbecause the team had hit a lull,according to Petri.

“It just shows their fortitudeand perseverance that theywere able to put that behindthem,” Petri said. “But theyplayed some tough courses be-fore sectionals, and I think thathelped us.”

MT. HEALTHY — The foot-ball career of Mount Health-y’s Tyree Elliott started whenhe was 4 years old.

Now, as a junior, he is hav-ing a season to remember.

After barely sniffing theplaying field last season, El-liott has helped his Owls to a8-0 start and is leading theSouthwest Ohio Conferencewith 1,145 rushing yards.

“Our offensive line has toblock well first,” Elliott saidabout his success on theground. “They give me thechance to get to thenext level.I just do the rest and makeplays and be an athlete. Iwatch filma lot anda lot ofmyownfilm toget to know thede-fense’s tendencies and whatplays they are lazy on.”

What makes his seasonevenmore special is he is get-ting it done from all over thefootball field. Elliott is 6 of 15passing this season for 102yards and a score. He has fivecatches for 80 yards and ascore to gowith his17 rushingtouchdowns. In addition, hehas 208 return yards, whichincludes a 50-yard punt re-turn for a score.

“I just learned to throwthis year,” he said. “I reallycouldn’t catch my freshmanyear. I learned a lot this yearandover the summer. I know Ican run the ball; I just wantedto show I could do other stuff.I just worked at it.”

One thingElliott possessesthat cannot be stopped in theopen field is speed. On theseason, Elliott has 11 touch-down runs of 25 yards or long-er, including a season-long 98-yard touchdown run in a 39-0victory over Ross Sept. 28.

“It’s God’s gift,” he saidabout his speed. “I didn’t doanything special from any-body else. It’s just natural.”

Despite what he can do on

the ground, Elliott reallywants to learn the quarter-back position over the nextyear and a half.

“Coach (Arvie Crouch)told me a couple things I wasdoing wrong and I just watcha lot of quarterbacks fromcollege and theNFLand try toget better,” Elliott said. “Iwant to be a quarterback. Ithink I can do it.”

With all of the sudden suc-cess, it would be easy to get a

big head, but that is some-thing Crouch doesn’t letcreep inside the junior’s head.

“Coach just tellsme to stayhumble and hungry,” Elliottsaid. “He tells me to remem-ber I didn’t play last season. Ijust come out and just love toplay the game. I love to prac-tice hard. I remember thedays when I wasn’t playing.”

Sitting at No. 2 in The En-quirer Divisions II-VI areacoaches’ poll and No. 4 in the

Division II Region 8 HarbinRankings, Elliott is groundedbut knows big things could beon the horizon for him and histeammates.

“Our goal is first to go10-0,” he said. “We want to go10-0 so bad. Want to do it forour coach. We want to win outand get a home playoff gamefor our fans and our commu-nity. They deserve a homeplayoff game. And just have achance at state.”

The Finneytown Local SchoolDistrict is seeking approval of a1.98mill bond issue on Nov. 6.The bond issue project plan is apart of a Comprehensive CapitalImprovement Plan for districtfacilities. This plan also includesa HB 264 initiative which in-cludes projects from the dis-trict’s Capital Improvement Planthat are specifically related toenergy conservation and sav-ings.

TheHB 264 project planincludes lighting upgrades,replacement of inefficient heat-ing/AC units, plumbing upgradesand controls. The plan was ap-proved by the Ohio School Facil-ity Commission and costs ap-proximately $1.6 million dollars.Funding for this project comesfrom the sale of 15-year low-interest bonds and grants/re-bates that total approximately$300,000. The bonds will berepaid over a 15 year periodusing the savings realized on

energy savingimprovements(estimated tobe approxi-mately $114,000per year) withno cost to dis-trict taxpayers.Work on thisproject beganon Oct. 1.

The1.98bond issue will

fund $4.7 million in improve-ments, renovations and addi-tions to school facilities. Theannual cost to the owner of prop-erty with a valuation of $100,000would be $58.77. Projects fromthe district’s Capital Improve-ment Plan included in the bondissue plan are energy conserva-tion projects with potential util-ity cost savings over time suchas lighting, ventilation upgrades(ductwork) and replacementheating/AC units that were notincluded in HB 264 initiative,

projects related to roofing andpaving which have been costlyfor the district to maintain intheir current condition, safetyand security projects related tobuilding security including doorreplacement and possible trafficflow enhancements for BrentElementary School andWhit-aker Elementary School associ-ated with paving upgrades andimprovements to the performingarts center including lighting,reconditioning of seats, roofreplacement, ventilation (duct-work) and replacement of heat-ing/AC units including convert-ing the building primary sourceof power for heating and coolingfrom electric to natural gas.Anticipated completion date forall projects in the bond issueproject plan is the beginning ofthe 2014-2015 school year.

A primary benefit frommanyof these facility improvementsis cost savings to the districtover time and a likely decrease

in the use of funds from thedistrict general fund for facilitymaintenance. This in all likeli-hood will impact the timing andamount of a future operatinglevy as the funding generated bythe operating levy in 2010 willlikely be extended. Anotherfeature of the ComprehensiveCapital Improvement Plan isthat all of the bonds used tofinance the projects have a15-year repayment term. The bondsused to finance the 1997 districtbond issue have approximately12 years remaining on theirrepayment terms. As such, allmillage associated with all facil-ity projects will end in 15 yearsand thus provide available fund-ing options for future districtfacility needs.

Please check the districtwebsite, www.finneytown.org,for detailed information .

On this Election Day, thereare many important issues thatwe all will be deciding. Themost obvious is the election of apresident, congressman andsenator not to mention the va-riety of state and county offi-cials. These are, obviously, veryimportant decisions and de-serve your study and attentionbefore you cast your ballot.

The purpose of this letter isconcerning an issue that, al-though seemingly insignificantin comparison, the outcome ofwhich will affect the entirefuture of our city and the wayfuture generations will be al-lowed to select their electedofficials.

Issue 17 suggests amending

our charter forthe purpose ofestablishing aterm limit of 12years for elect-ed officials.But, that’s notall. The authorof this pro-posed amend-ment and itsproponents

wish to make such term limitsretroactive. This means thatany elected official that mayhave already served 12 years inthe past, as of the end of theircurrent term, will not be al-lowed to serve in that sameoffice ever again even if wecitizens want them to continue.

In establishing such limits, thecitizens of NCH will never, everagain have an option to allowsomeone who is doing a goodjob to continue. Our democraticform of government has al-ready established term limits.Those limits are called electiondays. Every election day wecitizens can limit or extend theterm of each and every one ofour public officials. This year,both parties have spent millionsof dollars trying to make thatvery point.

Of 32 cities and villages inHamilton County, only threehave adopted term limits. Why?Because the fact is, in smallgovernment, especially in to-day’s political and economic

atmosphere, it is essential thatexperience, personal familiar-ity with county, state and feder-al public officials and continui-ty be established. It is impos-sible to establish such relation-ships in 12 years. It is oftenheard said that governmentshould be run more like a busi-ness. I agree. So, if an employeewould be doing a great job andcontributing to the success ofthe business, should he or shebe fired just because they havebeen there for 12 years? Doesn’tmake much sense, does it.

Paraphrasing PresidentGeorge Washington, beware ofthose who would sacrifice ourfuture for an immediate politi-cal convenience. Issue 17 will

severely limit the probability ofour future elected officials toserve on any county or statedecision making board or com-mission that could benefit NCH.It will remove our options ofelecting the most qualified

I am not writing this becauseI wish to continue as mayorafter the completion of mycurrent term. I will not seekre-election for the office ofmayor ever again. However, mylove and concern for our be-loved city and its future willnever diminish. Don’t give upon your rights or your city. Voteno on Issue 17.

I am a current resident of thecity of Mount Healthy, and re-ceived the proposed city charterin the mail last week. I am also aformer city councilman, havingserved nearly five years in thiscity. After reading the docu-ment, I cannot be in favor of itfor primarily two omissions: Isee no mention of term limits,and I have concerns about thelaw director’s office.

I feel strongly that in MountHealthy, a city where too fewpeople have held too much pow-er for too long, the least weshould have is a provision thatno one would be allowed to servemore than two consecutiveterms in any elected office.

Also, it shouldstipulate that aperson couldnot run forcouncil, thenfor mayor, forexample, with-out taking a 4year break.This wouldforce morepeople to get

involved in the process, and inthe long run be better for thecommunity.

The other primary issue thatneeds to be addressed has to dowith the law director’s office.Let me say that I am not doubt-ing the devotion of Steve Wolf to

this community – I have knownhim for many years. What I dohave trouble with is the fact thatone man can have such a singu-larly great impact.

Steve Wolf was mayor whenBill Kocher was first hired assafety service director. Mr Wolfwas also directly involved in thepicking of the current mayor,through his leadership in a localpolitical party. You may recallfrom your ballot that almostnone of the local candidates wasopposed. Because of a generallack of interest, the majority ofcandidates are just rubber-stamped at the voting booth.

It is also Mr. Wolf’s companythat for many years printed the

ordinances and resolutions forcouncil, which put him in theposition of often choosing theactual wording of the documents– unless something very specificwas dictated. An ordinance canpass or fail as a result of thewording chosen. And now, withthe passage of this charter, thecity manager (formerly theSafety Service Director BillKocher) will potentially be hir-ing Steve Wolf – the man whofirst hired him in Mount Healthyyears ago. If that is not enough,Steve Wolf’s son, James, servesas a city councilman. Under thischarter, and with his dad’s influ-ence in the local party, he couldpotentially serve term after

term, if not be picked for mayorhimself.

I understand that there aresome positives in this charter asaffecting the finance office, etc.However, I cannot seriouslyconsider it as written, unless Iam convinced that there will bemovement very soon towardterm limits, and the current lawdirector, Mr. Steve Wolf, agreesnot to be hired by the man hefirst hired many years ago.Steve Wolf is an honorable man,but this is just too much influ-ence for one person to have inlocal politics.

Many people haveseen the LibertyMutual Insur-ance “Responsi-bility” televisioncommercials

featuring individuals doing gooddeeds for others after witness-ing a stranger doing somethinghelpful for someone else.

Cancer Support Community(formerly The Wellness Com-munity) saw it happen in reallife when 35 local Liberty Mutu-al employees from the Fairfieldoffice left their own work at theoffice to each spend five hoursvolunteering at the non-profitcancer support organization,helping with essential land-scaping and interior and exteri-or cleaning and maintenancechores.

The two-day service projectwas part of a global effortcalled “Serve with Liberty”organized by the insurancecompany to celebrate its 100thanniversary. Liberty Mutualemployees around the worldwere encouraged to participatein the project and permitted totake time off on either June 21or 22 to serve at a nonprofitorganization.

Worldwide, “Serve with Lib-erty” resulted in 25,000 peoplefrom 19 countries providing

106,000 hours of service to 760different charities.

In Greater Cincinnati, ap-proximately 700 Liberty Mutualemployees took part, choosingfrom service projects at nearly50 pre-approved nonprofit or-ganizations.

At Cancer Support Communi-ty, 20 Liberty Mutual employeesworked on landscaping andgrounds keeping projects in thesweltering heat for five hoursJune 21 and then 15 more em-ployees spent five hours June 22doing a “deep clean” inside.

According to CSC’s directorof development Betty Cooken-dorfer, the help was much need-ed and very appreciated.

“We have a beautiful facilityhere in Blue Ash which providesa comfortable, relaxing, home-like environment where peoplewith cancer and their loved onescan come for support groups,educational programs, andhealthy life style classes like TaiChi and yoga that help relievethe stress that fighting cancercan present,” Cookendorfersaid. “But it can be a lot to main-tain for a non-profit with a verysmall staff, so having so manycommitted volunteers fromLiberty Mutual willing to pro-vide so many hours of hardwork is a huge help for us.”

I knew I could counton my readers to come tothe rescue for finding

recipes for“emergen-cy cake”that one ofour read-ers re-memberedfondlyfrom hergrandma.

Jane H.found onethat Gale

Gand made on the foodnetwork. Gale’s recipe ison my blog “Cookingwith Rita” at Cincin-nati.com.

Dawn F. sent in onefrom her grandmother.Dawn said her grand-mother called it “quickcake” and Dawn’s recipeis similar to the one I’msharing today. Dawn’sgrandma’s name was EllaMae Ramsey. “But to meshe was Mamaw,” Ram-sey said.

Now I found my reci-pe in a circa 1924-28wooden box, which hadprinted in gold on thefront “Gold Medal HomeService Recipes.” Thebox contains all the origi-nal recipe cards and wassent to me, again, by areader several years ago.I also have a very coolrecipe aluminum framed“notebook” called “Bal-anced Recipes” fromPillsbury from 1933. Andthanks to my sister,Madelyn, who shops atwhat she calls “the bettergift stores” thrift stores,I have several vintagerecipe boxes with reci-pes and cookbooks.

While we’re on thesubject of vintage every-thing, check out Bryn

Mooth’s “writes4food”blog at Cincinnati.com.Bryn is sharing vintagerecipes from her “Claraproject.”

Rita’s emergencycake

This is my adaptationof a really good tasting,simple cake. I guessthat’s why it’s called“emergency” cake.Though the recipe in-dicated it could be eatenwith a broiled icing oreven without icing, I justiced it with a simpleconfectioner’s sugarglaze: 1 cup confection-ers’ sugar flavored witha teaspoon of vanilla andenough water (a table-spoon or so) to thin out.

12⁄3 cups all-purpose flour1 cup sugar¼ teaspoon salt2½ teaspoons bakingpowder

1⁄3 cup unsalted butter,softened (can also useshortening, which theoriginal recipe called for)

2⁄3 cupmilk (not too cold)1 large egg, lightly beaten1½ teaspoons vanilla

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Whisk flour,sugar, salt and bakingpowder together. Addbutter, milk, egg andvanilla, and beat untilblended, about 3 minutes.Pour into sprayed 8-inchto 9-inch baking pan.Bake 25-30 minutes.Mine was done in 25.When toothpick insertedin center comes outclean, cake is done. Don’tover bake.

Caesar saladdressing withroasted garlic

Linda J., a NorthernKentucky reader, sentthis recipe in. Roastinggarlic brings out a sub-tle, sweet flavor. This

looks like a keeper!

1 large head garlic1 tablespoonwater¼ cup non-fat plain yogurt

¼ cup freshly gratedParmesan cheese

1 tablespoon extra-virginolive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice1½ teaspoons white winevinegar

1 teaspoon Dijonmustard2 anchovy fillets, rinsedSalt and ground blackpepper

Preheat oven to 400degrees. On a cuttingboard, using a sharpknife, slice about a ½inch off the top of thehead of garlic, exposingthe individual cloves. Set

the head on a square offoil, and sprinkle with atablespoon of water.Pinch together the edgesof the foil to create apacket. Roast for 45 min-utes. Unwrap and let coolslightly before squeezingthe pulp from the cloves.In the bowl of a foodprocessor or blender,combine the roastedgarlic pulp, yogurt,cheese, oil, lemon juice,vinegar, mustard andanchovies. Process untilsmooth. Season with saltand pepper to taste, thencover and refrigerateuntil ready to use.

Harvest Festival shows off life’s abundance

Itwasa rainyLaborDayin 2012 (a welcome rain, af-ter a longdry spell), but didthe rain stop a group ofneighbors in Greenhillsfrom gathering togetherfor a traditional block par-ty?

Neighbors are oftengoodcooks too– therewasatable full of vegetariandishes, macaroni salad,deviled eggs, (plus, still the

traditional hamburgersand hot dogs) and some in-credible desserts (includ-ing an avocado-lime pie).

But the icing on thecake, so to speak,wasaspe-cial visit from Velvet. Howmany block parties have

you ever known to offer agentle horse ride?

OCTOBER 17, 2012 • HILLTOP PRESS • B5LIFE

I was fortunate enough toattend the grand opening of thenew EdenPURE® factory inNorth Canton, Ohio. The newplant brought hundreds of newjobs back to Ohio and reversedthe common practice of send-ing Midwest manufacturingjobs to China. Now, Eden-PURE® continues to ramp upproduction for the comingWinter with exciting newmodels and hundreds of newemployees as this Made inAmerica success story contin-ues to grow.

American Labor, Ameri-can Quality

With over 3 million porta-ble heaters sold EdenPURE®

is the best selling portable in-frared heating system inNorth America. However,like any classic, EdenPURE®

has dozens of would-be com-petitors who create Asiancopies at low prices usingcheap, foreign labor. Don’tbe fooled by these imitations.Look for the EdenPURE® lo-go and the Made in NorthCanton, Ohio stamp. Savelike millions of others on yourheating bills and say “NO” tocheap foreign imitators.

I spoke with Neil Tyburkthe Chief Designer and Presi-dent of EdenPURE®’s NorthCanton plant who is very directin his beliefs. “We have betterdesigns, better materials and abetter work force. We can kicktheir butts in production andquality. The only advantagethey have is cheap labor.”

Save up to 49% on 2013EdenPURE®s

Now readers can save up to49% ($229 the largest savingsever on new EdenPURE®s).EdenPURE® is not just thebest-selling portable heatingsystem in North America. Asan EdenPURE® owner I rankEdenPURE® #1 for quality,safety and efficiency. Andnow is the perfect time to savelike never before on our ex-panded 2013 EdenPURE® linemade in our brand new NorthCanton, Ohio facility.

With two models Eden-PURE® can meet all of yourheating requirements 365 daysa year. We receive thousandsof letters from satisfied cus-tomers who share their heatingtestimonials many of whichyou can view at our websiteedenpure.com. This Summerwe even followed up withEdenPURE® customers from 5years ago like Gloria Smith(see her original testimonyabove) who are still just as en-thusiastic and in some in-stances saved thousands ofdollars versus costly propane.

Gloria Smith InterviewMay 20, 2012

“My name is Gloria Smithand I am a retired principalfrom Boydton, Virginia. I’vebe e n us i ng EdenPURE ®

Heaters for 5 years. I think Isaved at least $15,000 over aperiod of 5 years. And that’sproven with my bank state-ments because it’s document-ed. And I feel really greatabout using the EdenPURE®

Heaters.”“Many people have called

me from all over the countrywhen they have seen the in-fomercials on TV. I’ve en-

joyed talking to them and Iwant everybody to save moneyin these hard economic times.I believe in paying it forward,so when you experience some-thing good, you want to shareit.”

Stay Comfortable 365Days a Year

“Never be cold again” isthe EdenPURE® promise.EdenPURE® provides you in-surance against the cold allyear long. Stay comfortableon those unseasonably chillyevenings no matter the season.I live in California but believeme it gets cold at night. Keepyour expensive furnace turneddown until it’s absolutely nec-essary. And if we are fortu-nate enough to experience amild winter as many of us didin the Midwest last year, youkeep your furnace off all sea-son and save even bigger.

New, More Ef f i c i en tModels

The engineers at Eden-PURE® listened to their mil-lions of customers and some-how managed to improve the#1 portable heater in NorthAmerica. Through old fash-ioned American ingenuity thenew EdenPURE® line is moreefficient to save you evenmore money.

The EdenPURE® PersonalHeater now heats a larger area,an increase from 350 squarefeet to 500 square feet. That’sa 30% increase in efficiency!And EdenPURE® is proud tointroduce the 2013 Model 750.The new Model 750 is perfectfor larger areas and heats up to750 square feet. But the bestthing about the Model 750 isthe price. We priced the Mod-el 750 at only $50 above thePersonal Heater. This meansyou receive a 33% increase inperformance for only $50.That’s American engineeringat its best!

We all know heating costsare expected to remain atrecord levels. The cost of

heating our homes and apart-ments will continue to be asignificant burden on thefamily budget. The Eden-PURE® can cut your heatingbills and pay for itself in amatter of weeks, and thenstart putting a great deal ofextra money in your pocketafter that.

Super Safe Infrared HeatNow remember, a major

cause of residential fires in theUnited States is carelessnessand faulty portable heaters.The choice of fire and safetyprofessional, Captain MikeHornby, the EdenPURE® hasno exposed heating elementsthat can cause a fire. And aredundant home protectionsystem that simply shuts theEdenPURE® down if it sensesdanger. That’s why grandpar-ents and parents love theEdenPURE®.

The outside of the Eden-PURE® only gets warm to thetouch so that it will not burnchildren or pets. And your petmay be just like my dog whohas reserved a favorite spotnear the EdenPURE®. Yousee the EdenPURE® uses in-frared heat. And just as petsenjoy basking in a beam ofsunlight they try to stay closeto EdenPURE®’s “bone-warming” infrared heat.

The Origin of EdenPURE®

a Missouri Rancher’s Dis-covery

American’s love to tinker.We are a nation of inventorsfrom Benjamin Franklin toThomas Edison. A Missourihorse breeder named JohnJones was no exception.

Jones lived in a large draftyold farmhouse with his familyof five. They stayed warm oncold Missouri nights with anold coal furnace and plenty ofblankets.

Now Jones was always col-lecting scrap to use in his latestinventions and somewherealong the line he had picked upa large sheet of cured copper.

Jones stored the large coppersheet in his basement near thecoal furnace he labored to fillevery chilly morning.

Jones noticed somethingpeculiar. The coal furnacewarmed the copper sheet andas the furnace cooled down thecopper sheet stayed warm. Infact, the copper sheet stayedwarm for many hours andheated much of the large base-ment.

As Jones continued to de-velop a portable infraredheater he knew the copper wasthe secret ingredient thatwould make his heater differ-ent from all the rest. His cop-per heating chambers com-bined with the far infraredbulbs provided an efficientwave of “soft” heat over largeareas. The breakthrough Eden-PURE® infrared heating cham-ber was born.

The Health Secret is inthe Copper

EdenPURE®’s engineershave taken Jones’ originalconcept through revolutionarychanges. EdenFLOW™ tech-nology uses copper heatingchambers to take the energyprovided by our special SYL-VANIA infrared bulbs anddistribute our famous soft heatevenly throughout the room.

Now our copper isn’t ordi-nary. It’s 99.9% pure antimi-crobial copper from an over150 year old American ownedcompany in Pennsylvania.Researchers have discoveredcopper as an antimicrobial isfar more effective than stain-less steel or even silver. That’swhy our special antimicrobialcopper is marked Cu+ andused in hospitals on touch sur-faces. So your EdenPURE®

heater is continuously pushingsoft, healthy, infrared heatthroughout your room.

Never be cold again

As Al Borland on Home Improvement I was the man withall the answers. However, as Richard Karn I still look formoney saving and efficient heating in my home. I have anEdenPURE® Infrared Portable Heater in my Californiahome and like millions of others found it to be a super-safe, reliable source of portable heat all year long.

We live in an area which is known for very cold winters.Our facility is nearly 7000 square feet in area. When webegan to utilize the first unit we were amazed to see howeven the heat was for the entire living room area. We or-dered a second and a third unit which now warms the en-tire home. Much to our surprise we are saving over $250 amonth and had the lowest expense for heating we haveever experienced here. I would heartily recommend your

products to anybody who is interested in really nice, even heat in their homeand also interested in saving on their utility expenses.Dennis Crystal, Troy, MT (Retired Airline Pilot)

Enclosed you will find printouts of our electric billand gas/heating/cooking bills for 2007 - 2008. Ourgas company, AmeriGas, stated that more moneywas saved than would show up because of the costgoing up. We would turn the gas on early in themorning and turn it down to 60 degrees; We woulduse the EdenPURE® heaters from then on and theyprovided such warmth and cozy heat. Many of our

friends have informed me recently that they are going to purchase theseheaters for their homes this winter.Gloria D. Smith, Boydton, VA (Retired Elementary Principal)

Spread Some Good, incollaboration with AARPOhio, Walgreens and Wes-ley Community Services,will take place throughMonday, Oct. 22, in Cincin-nati and Northern Ken-tucky.

As part of AARP Driveto End Hunger this initia-tive is an effort to promotepublic awareness about theserious problem of seniorhunger. Eleven percent ofolder Americans are strug-gling to meet basic dietaryneeds and for the last 20years Wesley CommunityServices has helped olderadults remain at homewithMeals-On-Wheels, special-ized transportation, andhome care and personalcare services.

A report released thefirstweek of September bytheU.S. Department of Ag-riculture’s, economic re-search service shows thatin Ohio, 15.5 percent ofhouseholds were food inse-cure at some time duringthe year between 2009 and2011,comparedto14.7perr-cent nationally. That ranksOhio as11thworst in thena-tion, with 4.58 million indi-viduals struggling to af-ford food.

“Wesley really appreci-ates AARP Ohio and Wal-green’s recognition of theproblem of senior hungerand in particular, in Great-er Cincinnati,” said Ste-phen Smookler, chief oper-

ations officer,WesleyCom-munity Services.

It’s simple to spreadsome good. Stop by a localWalgreens store inGreaterCincinnati and NorthernKentucky this October todropoffa jarof low-sodiumor traditional peanut but-ter.

“Peanut butter is high inprotein, and is among thefoods that can help preventmuscle loss in olderadults,” said AARP OhiovolunteerRomanWaltonofCincinnati. “You canspread a lot of good by do-nating a jar of peanut but-ter.”
