Keeping trouble outside

Schools are employing awidearray of measures, from exteri-or-lockingdoors tosecuritycam-eras, and even training theirstaff how to handle a situationwith an active shooterwithin theschool to keep violence fromfinding itsway inside their halls.

For example, Ursuline Acad-emyPresident SharonRedmondsaid the school’s partnershipwith theBlueAshPoliceDepart-ment has evolved.

“TheBlueAsh PoliceDepart-ment has been absolutely phe-

nomenal to work with,” Red-mond said. “They met with thefaculty and staff and conducteda drill last April and also metwith parents.”

Blue Ash police also conduct-ed trainingat theschool tobetterfamiliarize themselves with thelayout of the building.

Ursuline utilizes securitycameras and locks doors to pre-vent entrywithoutproperautho-rization, but if an intruder wereto get inside the building, Red-mond said the staff is preparedfor a worst-case scenario.

“For us, it’s about empower-ing faculty and staff as well asour students,” she said. “Theyknow we trust them and we’re

going to trust themtomakegooddecisions.”

At Moeller High School inKenwood, doors that studentsdon’t use for classes during the

day are locked, security cam-eras are monitored constantlyand all guests sign inwith the of-fice.

“The positive peer pressureto be a “Man ofMoeller” –whichmeansdotherightthing,havein-tegrity, help others, be your bestand be a brother – reallyworks,”she said.

As part of Moeller's new security measures, visitors have to sign inwith Bob Pieper, who sits at the security desk inside the front doors ofthe school. Visitors are given a name tag to wear while in the building.THANKS TO JOHANNA KREMER

“I get to help people usetheir benefits,” Frese, coordi-nator of veteran student af-fairs at University of Cincin-nati Blue Ash, said. “I likehelping them navigate thesegreat benefits and seeing theend result is a good feeling.”

Those benefits – the Post 9/11 GI Bill – provide for 36months of paid college tuitionaswell asahousingstipendforqualified veterans, and is paidfor through the Veterans Ad-ministrationoffice inSt.Louis.In order to receive benefits,student-veterans have to fillout paperwork and get verifi-cation from the university aswell as the VA before receiv-ing the GI Bill – that’s whereFrese helps the most.

“I wear a lot of hats,” hesaid. “I fill the role of every-thing from being an academicadviser toanswering lifeques-tions.”

In the past, students had is-sues with getting through thepaperwork process becausetheyhad togo to themaincam-pus in University Heights,Frese, of West Chester Town-ship, said.Now, Frese can helpthem through the paperworkand then coordinate with themain campus.

The position was createdafter the student-veteran pop-ulation more than doubledover the last five years –morethan 1,500 veterans are en-rolled at UC andUCBA has in-creased from 2 to 4 percentveterans, said Pete Gemmer,

Marc said he grew uparound good farms in Ba-tesville, IN,andaftergrad-uating from Harvard andworking as a banker, de-cided to get back intofarming innearbyGreens-boro, IN.

“Deep down I alwaysknew I was interested in adifferent way of life,” hesaid.

In Montgomery, theLuffsseeFinnMeadowsasa way to benefit the com-munity and also give an in-sight into farming.

“Ecologically, it’s agreat addition to the com-munity,” Marc said. “Peo-ple can come and walkaround and seewhatwe’redoing and how we’re rais-

ing the animals.”For instance, instead of

buying a pork cop at thegrocery store and neverknowing how that animallived, at Finn Meadowspeoplecanpet thepigsandsee the chickens theymight eat later, Marc said.

TheLuffs sell their har-vest at the Montgomeryand Hyde Park farmersmarkets, but their ulti-mate goal is to live with acomplete diet grown onthe land.

“Homesteaders live offthe farm – it’s a wholediet,” Claire said. “Every-thing you need is harvest-ed from the farm.”

Marc sees the disparityin life choices for the 20-somethingcrowdandwon-ders what the future lookslike for farming.

“It’s pretty sad,” hesaid. “There aremore peo-ple in jail than working onfarms.”

At Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy inSymmes Township, Headof School Randy BrunksaidthatalladministratorsareALICE-trained, aswellassometeachersineachofthe academy’s four schoolbuildings. Most of theschool doors are lockedand have cameras that theadministration and theHamilton County Sheriff’sDepartment can tap into ifneeded.

ALICE means AlertLockdownInformCounterEvacuate.

All visitors are re-quired to sign in with theschool office and wear aname tag, he added.

CHCA also has a safetycommittee to study the lat-est trends and options inprocedures and technol-ogy. It’s looking into soft-ware that will allow theschool to run checks onvisitors’ driver’s licenses,as well as cameras thattake photos of licenseplates, Brunk said.

“When doing some-

thing new (for security),we take a longer-term ap-proach,” he said.

Sycamore CommunitySchools have measures toprevent unauthorized en-try and district officialssay they are looking atmore ways to monitormental health issues.

“We’re buildingschools, not prisons,” saidChad Lewis, director ofbusiness operations forSycamore Schools. “Weare a community-basedentity owned by the com-munity and we want com-munity members in ourbuildings.”

Sycamore Schools’buildings all have panicbuttons that automaticallydial emergency services,making turnaround timesvery quick for first re-sponders, Lewis said.

The district partnerswithBlueAshandMontgo-merypolicefor securityand is increasing commu-nication between schoolcounselors and parents.

“It’s a community ef-fort,” said Erika Daggett,chief information officerfor Sycamore Schools.“We can’t prevent italone.”

SYCAMORE TWP. — Alex Till-man ran the opening kickoff ofthe season back for a touch-down. It was called back on apenalty, but proved the firepow-er of the Sycamore High Schoolfootball team’s offense for 2013.

The Aviators can strikequickly.

Piloted by senior quarter-back Greg Simpson, Sycamorehungalopsidedscoreonatalent-ed Walnut Hills team Aug 30,41-7.Livingup tohisNo. 6, Simp-son found the “land of six” threetimes.

When the game got close, theAves found another gear andflew away in the form of ToddLewis racing 85 yards with afumble recovery.

“The score didn’t really re-flect the game too much,” Syca-more coach Scott Dattilo said.“We had a13-0 game and they’reon the 3-yard-line about tomakeit a seven-pointgame.Weget thebig scoop and score (from ToddLewis) and it goes from a one-score game to a two-scoregame.”

Still, like last year when theypounded Anderson 38-7, theAves opened with authority.

In addition to Simpson, theychew up yards with senior run-ning backs Solomon McMullinand Alex Tillman. Both are lowto the ground and emerge oftenunimpeded behind beefy line-men.

“We have some nice skillplayers,”Dattilo said. “Itdoesn’thave to be the ‘Greg SimpsonShow,’ but he’s talented enoughto make it that way. One of ourgoals this year is to spread theball around.”

For good measure, Simpsonhas a rocket arm. If youbite on aball fake, he can find the openman. In the opener against Wal-nut, he turned a near sack into a68-yard touchdown pass to ColeJardin.

“That’s just a great playermaking a great play,” Dattilosaid.

In full disclosure though,Simpson said Sycamore is com-fortable with the so-called “bro-ken play.”

“Weworkonita lot,”Simpsonsaid. “When plays break downyou just find a receiver. We just

BLUE ASH — Forget thesong; believe the hype.

Ursuline Academy tennisplayer Mehvish Safdar is astar. She won the Division Istatedoubles titlewithherold-er sister as a freshman. Shewon a state singles title as asophomore. She’s undefeatedfor the Lions so far in her sen-ior season and was a LaRosa’sathlete of the week.

No surprise to Ursulinecoach Joe Hartkemeyer.

“The skills that she has, shehas pretty much any shot thatyouwant,” he said. “She reallydoesn’t have a weakness. Ithink (playing against her) it’sone of those things where youmight not find a weakness.You have to look for a patternwhere youmight cross her up,but that’s going to be difficult.

“You’re not playing a per-son, you’re playing a style ofplay. Itdoesn’tmatterwho’sonthe other side of the net. Shecancome to thenet. Shecanbeaggressive.Shecanbeagrind-er. She can beat you with bigshots from the baseline. Herstyle is really an all-courtgame.

“She doesn’t overlook any-body and plays each point. Ev-ery opportunity she has to beout there is an opportunity togetbetter.Hereffort isalwaysall-out.”

Safdar, a Mason resident,said hearing her coach say shehad no weakness was both asurprise, a compliment and agoal all rolled into one.

“I try not to expose myweaknesses, but definitelyI’ve been trying to create anall-courtgame,” shesaid. “I’vebeenplaying a lot. Just gettingrepetitions. It’s more of just amental thing and that’s part ofwhat I want to improve, too.”

Safdar began playing ten-nis at age 4, taggingalongwithher older sisters to their prac-tices and matches. She beganplaying USTA tournaments atage 6.

“I got lucky and got a headstart,” she said. “Itwas a greatexperience playing thatyoung.”

For all the individual ele-ments of the game, Hartke-meyersaidheappreciatesSaf-dar’s dedication to the team.

“There’s no better opportu-nity to go out with a jersey

withyour school’s nameon thefront and represent that andbe part of a team,” he said. “Alot of times players with herability don’t even play highschool tennis and it can behard to buy into the teamgame, but not for her.”

Safdarsaid that stemsfromher first trip to the state teamtournament in Columbus as afreshman.

“Going up as a team, beingwith thegirls, it reallybroughta whole concept of a teamsport home for me,” she said.“I’ve always liked that. It’s anadjustment from the off sea-son, but it also gets you readyfor college, because it’s such ateam game there.”

Safdar has yet to decidewhere she will play tennis incollege, but Big 10 and ACCschools have expressed inter-est in her services. For now,she enjoys being a captain andsharing her talent and experi-ence.

“I’m one of those fiery peo-ple,” she said. “For me, whenI’m pumpingmy fist or cheer-ingfora teammate, that’swhatI like. We all kind of motivateeach other andbalance off oneanother’s play. I had great sen-iorswhen Iwas anunderclass-menandnowIwant topay thatforward to the younger play-ers.”

READING — For a teamthat didn’t lose until fall-ing to Lakota East in thetournament last Novem-ber, a couple early lossesmay be alarming.

Not necessarily forMount Notre Dame HighSchool volleyball coachJoe Burke.

At the end of August,the Cougars loaded up toplay a pair of rankedteams from Louisville;Mercy Academy and Sa-credHeart.After losing infour to SacredHeart, theydrove to Mercy for anoth-er five games to make itnine on the day.

“The teams that weplayed were very, verygood,” Burke said.“Against Mercy it was areally high-level volley-ball match and unfortu-nately we didn’t come outon the right end. We wereup 14-9 in the fifth andended up losing 17-15.”

Prior to the Louisvilletrip, MND opened withwins over St. Henry, Cha-minade-Julienne, Center-ville, Notre Dame and La-kota West. None of themwould be considered “pat-sies.”

“Ourschedulehasbeensignificant,” Burke said.“We got Notre DameAcademy, which we’vebeen wanting to do for a

long time. We started outwith a gauntlet of a sched-ule.”

At the volleyball pow-erhouse in Reading, thegirls merely bring theirlunchpail and take care ofbusiness.

“Once you start GGCLplay, you have to be readyto go every day,” Burkesaid.“It’sreallya lotoffunbecause everyone getsinto it and knows whatkind of a battle it will be.”

The Sycamore D-Sr baseball team, made up of 8 to 10 year olds, celebrate making it tothe fourth round of the Greater Cincinnati Knothole City Tournament, July 16, at BlueAsh Sports Complex, before losing 603 to a District 34 team from Northern Kentucky.This marks the deepest a D-Sr team from Sycamore has gone in the tournament in anumber of years, said BASC Field Coordinator Larry Fields. “What a great group ofkids.” Teams of all ages from Cincinnati began tournament play July 8; 16 of the finestD-Sr teams played the first two rounds in Mt Orab, and the Sycamore/ProCamps teamadvanced from there to play the third and fourth rounds at Blue Ash.

Simpsonhas had a fewinquiries about his ser-vices, but not as many asyou would expect for theco-Greater Miami Con-ference Player of theYear. The defendingleague rushing leaderwas also fifth in GMCpassing yards.

His advice for collegerecruiters is simple.

“Just come to thegame,” Simpson saidsmiling.

Playing Sycamore isnot only dangerous be-cause of their offense.Ontheothersideoftheball isDuke signee TinasheBere and collegeprospects Todd Lewisand Cayden Richter. Inweek one alone, the Avesforced five fumbles.

Lewis had the game-changing return for atouchdown, senior Na-than Silverman forced

two fumbles and Berehad a forced fumble, asack and an interception.

“If Todd (Lewis) andCayden (Richter) keepthe blockers off of me, Ishouldmakeplays,”Beresaid.

If Bere is Sycamore’sbeast, sophomore RachelCogen is the beauty. Thesophomore kickermissed her first extrapoint before convertingher next five.

The Aves explosive-ness should give her nu-merous opportunities formore.

INDIANHILL—Coachesoften say the best thingabout sophomores is theyeventually become ju-niors.

One short yearmakes aworld of difference for ahigh school athlete.

Take, for example, Cin-cinnati Country DaySchool quarterback CamAlldred. The junior is be-ginning his second seasonas starting quarterbackfor the Indians. If the firstweek of the season is anyindication, Alldred suc-cessfully shed his sopho-more skin.

“(He has) just a lotmore poise and a lot morematurity, physically andmentally,” said CCD headfootball coach Tim Dunn.“He’s able to handle a fewaudiblesnow,whichwe’venot been able to do in thepast.

“The other playershave respect for him,

what he can do as a playerand a leader. He’s steppedup his game.”

Alldred led CCD to a48-0 win against Pendle-ton County (Ky.) in thefirst week of the season.The Indians scored fivetouchdowns on their first10 offensive snaps.Alldred had three touch-

down passes on just seventhrows.

“We didn’t really findout how resilient we couldbe, but itwas impressive,”Dunn said. “Pretty mucheverything we didworked.”

Alldred began his foot-ball career as a 7-year-oldat St. Veronica School in

Mt. Carmel, where heplayed quarterback anddefense.

“I liked the contact,” hesaid. “Hitting people isfun.”

Cam followed hisbrother Chance to CCDfor high school and be-came a fullback on the JVteam as a freshman. Hereturned to quarterbackas a varsity sophomore.

“I go in and try to bekind of cocky, kind ofthinking I’m better thaneverybody else I’m play-

ing against,” he said. “I goin thinking they can’t stopus. That’s not really who Iam,butyouhavetobecon-fident to be a quarter-back.”

Alldred said he isgrateful for theopportuni-ty to play and learnduringa 4-6 season in 2012; helooks forward to moresuccess in 2013.

“I feel more comfort-able this year,” he said.“More at ease. Just expe-rienceandbeingmoreofaleader. I feel like I knowmy position very well andcan help other people intheirs.”

Alldred prepares for agame by getting in a roombyhimself and listening tocountrymusic.Hesaidhisfavorite NFL quarterbackis Michael Vick, who headmires for his dual-threat abilities.

“I want to be able to bethe quarterback who canrun and throw,”Alldredsaid. “It just takes a lot ofwork in the offseason.”

“The sky’s the limitfor her,” Burke said.“She has good volley-ball IQ .”

Along with Chan-dler, Mukes is gettingsome college looksalong with sophomoremiddle blocker DaniSzczepanski.

Defensively, theCougars are relying onsome key family con-nections. Junior liberoMargo Wolf is the sis-ter of Kelsey Wolf, thelibero fromMND’s laststate title team. Sopho-more Sabrina Wolf isthe cousin of both andis a defensive special-ist.

Let there beheadlights

I offer this as a safetytip to many drivers. I amstruck by the number ofcars I see under condi-tions of lessened visibil-ity – such as dawn/duskor inclement weather –not using their head-lights.

The purpose of head-lights is two-fold – to see,but also to be seen.Those extra moments ofvisual presence whichheadlights provide, forexample, to an oncomingcar when passing on atwo-lane road, or on amulti-lane highway to adriver ahead who beginsto move into an occupiedlane, can be life-saving.

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR

Who is your worst enemy?Be prepared for a surprise. If

you have read any of my previ-ous writings you know that Ibelieve that politics is destroy-ing our traditional way of lifealong with our rights. I normallyblame the Dumbocrats, but theRepugnicants are a close sec-ond. Both aremore interested intheir own tenure in control.

Their latest bad idea is rais-ing theminimumwage. When Iwas in business I saw the dam-age it did to working folks. Inorder to compensate for risingcosts and taxes on the wages itwas necessary to automatewhere possible and to import ifnot. Either way jobs were lostandmany people found that thenew higher wages bought less inthe stores.

If you are one of those un-fortunates who are stuck in alowwage job, do you think a

raise in theminimumwagewill help you?If so, why notset the raise to$50 or even$200 per hour?Even if youhave not stud-ied economics,you know thatprices would

skyrocket andmany peoplewould lose any hope of earning aliving through work. You wouldbe at themercy of greedy poli-ticians and their donors of bothparties who would imprison youin poverty so that they couldenjoy the printed wealth of in-flated dollars.

Who is your worst enemy?You face him every day. Justlook in themirror. Youmakedecisions, both good and bad.You are faced with competition

and have to decide if you willcompete. Toomany people avoidthe competition and set a lowerpath in life for themselves.

To some extent, theminimumwage is a determinant. It is easyto fall for the publicity abouthow unfair it is. In reality, it is atrial. Those who take a starterjob and stay with the job untilthey acquire skills and responsi-bility have amuch easier timefinding the path up tomoregainful employment and leader-ship positions.

Once you have chosen thispath, you find that some parents,teachers, coaches and bosseswill both encourage you and alsoto find ways to make you strug-gle with problems. Youmaydislike them for the aggravatingproblems at first. When youhave the spirit to overcome theproblems you will understandthat they really have your best

interests at heart.Be reassured that it is not an

easy lesson. But, it is one of themost valuable ones you willmaster. It is that youmust ac-cept all challenges and prove tothose who are evaluating youthat you are willing to work hardto get ahead. Inmy business, thepeople who started at the bottomand proved their worth ended upin higher positions. Somemadeit to management levels.

What ties working at mini-mumwage and your worst ene-my is simply that many success-ful people start at the very bot-tom. Once they prove theirworth, they gain both self re-spect but more importantly, thatof their employers. This couldbe you.

Edward LevyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Current events remind us ofa long-standing and importantdebate surrounding nationalsecurity and personal privacy.Twenty-first century technol-ogies heighten that debate.

While these technologiescan save untold numbers oflives on the battlefield andhere at home, they can alsopotentially threaten our cher-ished right to privacy. While Ioppose measures that wouldgut America’s essentialcounter-terrorism tools, Ireadily recognize the constitu-tional concerns that so many ofmy fellow defenders of libertyhave raised.

I understand the heighteneddistrust of government har-bored by many Ohioans, andhonestly, I share the sentimentmyself. The Obama admini-stration has proven throughscandal and executive over-reach that they too often fail tooperate in good faith with theAmerican people.

Going forward, the federalgovernment must work tomake sure that intelligencegathering activities don’t vio-

late our rightsas declared inthe Constitu-tion. That’swhy I votedfor a measureclarifying thatno taxpayerfunds may beused by theNSA to targetan Americancitizen or store

the content of their communi-cations, including phone callsand e-mails.

Citizens of the United Statesand my constituents in south-ern and southwest Ohio musthave the assurances that theirprivacy is safeguarded andtheir lives protected. Both ofthese goals are important andneither necessarily outweighsthe other. Outlined below aresteps that I believe would addadditional privacy protectionsfor all of us while maintainingthe government’s ability tokeep us safe.

First, review appropriateprovisions of the Patriot Act,with special attention to new

technologies and individualprivacy. The Patriot Act waswritten over a decade ago andpassed in the immediate after-math of the 9/11 attacks onAmerica. This was a time whentext messaging, Skype, Face-book and smartphones eitherdid not exist or were not widelyused.

While I was not in officewhen the legislation was lastreauthorized, I believe that thelegislative branch should re-examine parts of the PatriotAct, addressing the recenttechnological developmentsand where they fit within theAct’s authorizing provisions.

Second, proactively declas-sify documents that containinformation that no longerjeopardizes the safety of Amer-icans by being revealed. Classi-fied documents play a vital rolein protecting our country’snational security, but oftenintelligence agencies have atendency to overclassify in-formation. They err on the sideof caution, and justifiably so.

Yet, as questions about theNSA have arisen, the agency

has been able to declassify anumber of documents to pro-vide greater transparency andunderstanding of how intelli-gence programs actually oper-ate.

Third, institute quarterlyaudits from a private, indepen-dent firm that are made avail-able to members of Congress.Our intelligence communitieshandle massive amounts ofinformation, ranging from thefiles of Osama Bin Laden’shard drives to the phone rec-ords of terrorist cells.

Wemust ensure that thisdata is being collected andsearched properly and that anyactions which breach the laware identified and corrected ina timely manner. This over-sight must come from an entityoutside the intelligence com-munities that has the clearanceand dedicated resources toreview data collection activ-ities.

Fourth, determine whetherthird party, non-governmentalcompanies can securely storedata and records. Currently,the NSA collects and stores

information on governmentservers in order to quicklyquery data when a threat isidentified. This raises validconcerns about whether the 4thAmendment is being violated.

Instead of government stor-age, phone and internet compa-nies could be asked to retaintheir records for a longer peri-od of time. The governmentwould reimburse the privatecompanies for this lengthenedstorage and establish a systemto gather records when legallyand constitutionally allowable.

The preamble of our Consti-tution tasks the federal govern-ment to “provide for the com-mon defense,” and this coreresponsibility should not beoverlooked when we talk aboutreforming our intelligencecommunities. Through deliber-ate and thoughtful steps, wecan ensure the government isable to protect both life andliberty.

Intelligent reforms to intelligence communities

BradWenstrupCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Sept. 4 questionDo you think the U.S. is safer

now that it was 12 years ago, be-fore the Sept. 11 attacks? Whatdo you most remember aboutthat day?

“We probably are safer thanwe were 12 years ago, but it’sthekind of statistic that is diffi-cult to quantify because of po-litical bickering and ignoranceof most of the public.

“It’s also true that many at-tacksmay have been thwarted,but the kind of work bycounter-intelligence peoplethat prevents them is secretand unknown to most of us.That’s why it’s generally ‘clas-sified.’

“I remember being in myclassroom teaching my sev-enth grade a story that hadManhattan as its setting andworrying the military mightshoot down the jet over Penn-sylvania before it circled backaround to Washington.”

TRog

“Personally I never felt un-safe before or after 9-11. It was

a tragedy, but when you areraised practicing hiding underyour desk because of a nuclearattack you tend to take theevent with a different perspec-tive.

“When it occurred I was inmyhomeoffice.Mywifeyelledand my immediate commentupon seeing it on TVwas that itwas Bin Laden.

“I told her that Pres. Clintonhad warned the incoming ad-ministration to watch out forhim, but they ignored him onthat and just about everythingelse due to their arrogance.The second plane confirmedmy supposition.”

J.Z.

“The Homeland SecurityAct is one of thebiggestRepub-lican slush funds in history.Anyonewho looks at the expen-ditures will be depressed bythe wasted money.

“Hiring people to look atyour underwear is not makingyou safer.Andmost of themon-ey goes to Republican contrib-utors, not the idiots you see atthe airport.

“Israel accomplishes great-er securitywithout body scans.

“I can’t get over the way theRepublicans have hijacked theissue of personal security.They increase personal insecu-rity by passing gun laws whichallow morons to obtain guns.

“Weall know that theNRA isan effective influence on Con-gress, but howmany of us real-ize that the NRA is simply andexclusively a lobbying frontfor gun manufacturers?

“We cannot be effective ifwe do not use the brains wehave been endowed with.

“The alternative is a declin-ing human intelligence.

N.F.

Aug. 28 questionShould fans at sporting

events have to conform to a“code of conduct”? What typesofbehavior shouldberegulated?

“I’mafanof theXavierMus-keteers and the Cincinnati Cy-clones and when I go to gamesat Cintas Center and U.S. BankArena, I feel I have the right toyell as loud as I want as long asit is not offensive to other-s...that is called home court/field/ice advantage.

“As I get older, I don’t get as‘rowdy’ as I used to, but I stillyell at players, coaches and ofcourse referees, however Ikeep it clean with the languageand by some chance if I do sayone of the no no words, I apolo-gize to those around me.

“With this being said, I can’tstand it when fans around metell me to keep it down ormovebecause of your yelling or evenlook at you like you’re fromMars.

“If you want quiet, do notcome to a sporting event! Thisain’t a religous service!

“In closing, I go to sporting

events to watch the game andhave fun and hopefully rootmyteamonto victory, butmore im-portantly just to release somestress from everyday living-...keep it clean...but, keep itloud!”

The entrance, courtyard andgrounds of Cancer SupportCommunity’s Lynn Stern Cen-ter in Blue Ash are as beautifuland welcoming as ever thanksto the efforts of several localgroups.

“We’re so grateful to theseneighbors and community part-ners who have helped us yearafter year to get the groundsshaped up in the spring andready for summer,” volunteercoordinator Julie Wogenstahlsaid.

Cancer Support Communityis a non-profit organization thatprovides emotional support,education and hope to peoplewith cancer and their families –all free of charge.

“All of our programs are fa-cilitated by paid professionals,butweneverchargeafeetopar-

ticipate,” Wogenstahl said. “Wehaveaverysmall staff and fundall of our expenses through do-nations, grants, and fundrais-ers, so these donations of timeand materials are so importantto us.”

» For the seventh year in arow, Boy Scout Troop 674 at theChurch of the Saviour in Mont-gomery included CSC in its an-nual mulch sale, this year col-lecting and delivering 24 yardsof donated mulch – the equiva-lent of 325 bags.

» Pipkins Market (5035Cooper Road) once again donat-ed flowers, plants and soil forflower pots and the entrancearea.

» Two groups of corporatevolunteersmadereturnvisits toCSC this spring. These compa-nies have all helpedmany times

andare trulycommitted tocom-munity service. Colleaguesfrom the downtown office ofUBS Financial Services helpedwith painting, planting, andprepping the courtyard, whileemployees of the HillmanGroupworked on weeding, rak-ing, and spreading mulcharound the perimeter and at theentrance.

Planning for fall clean-upprojects will begin soon.Groups thatwould like to volun-teer a few hours – inside or out-side – to help keep the LynnSternCenter facilities in tip-topshape to serve people affectedby cancer should contact volun-teer coordinator Julie Wogen-stahl at [email protected].

Every cloud has asilver lining. There’s areason for everything.Being challenged in life

is inevita-ble, beingdefeated isoptional.Our familyfriend,Ruth AnnAshburn,could havequotedthese say-ings aftera storm

wrecked havoc with twoof her favorite trees: Amaple she raised from asapling and the tallestwild cherry tree I’veever seen. My husband,Frank, and I went over tohelp. Frank brought hissaw and tackled thesmaller limbs. The pro-fessionals came in forthe rest. The silver lininghere is we now have agood amount of woodaging for next year.

The storm alsoknocked a lot of our ap-ples off our trees, so Ihad to use the fallen onesup. Granddaughter Evaand I made applesaucefor her little sister, Em-erson. She washed theapples and I chunkedthem up for the slowcooker. I also dehydratedsome apples and haveapple leather/rollups

drying in the sun. Checkmy blog for those recipesplus photos.

Chris Lipnick’s appleblossom cake

Chris, a Kentuckyreader, immigrated tothis country from Ger-many. Chris, like mydaughter-in-law Inge, isan expert baker. Chrisshared this recipe awhile back and I getrequests for it whenapple season rollsaround. A moist and“good keeper” cake.“Everyone wants therecipe,” Chris told me.

3 eggs2 cups sugar11⁄4 cups canola oil3 cups all-purpose flour1⁄2 teaspoon each cinnamon,nutmeg, cloves, salt

11⁄2 teaspoons baking soda1 teaspoon vanilla3 cups peeled and choppedapples (Chris likes GrannySmith)

1 cup chopped pecans orwalnuts

Preheat oven to 350degrees and grease andflour Bundt pan. Beatsugar and eggs untilcreamy. Add oil slowlyand beat until blended.Sift flour with spices,salt and soda. Pour intoegg mixture and blend.Add vanilla, apples andnuts. Blend well and pour

into pan. Bake 11⁄4 hours.Cool and remove frompan. Dust with powderedsugar or make glaze oflemon juice and pow-dered sugar.

Kathy L.’s poorman’s lobster

I knew I could counton you! A reader whohad lost her recipe andwas hoping beyond allhope that I could helpfind it requested this.“I’ve made this quite abit although not recently.This recipe is probablyat least 20 years old.Since I dusted this off, I

think I will fix it againsoon,” Kathy said.

1 lb. cod frozen, thawedenough to cut (about 1hour at roomtemperature)

2 cups water3 tablespoons cider vinegar2 teaspoons salt3 tablespoons butter1⁄2 teaspoon paprika

Cut each block offillets into equal chunkseach about 1-inch square.In a medium saucepan,

bring water, vinegar andsalt to a boil over moder-ately high heat. Add fishchunks and reduce heatto moderate and simmer15 minutes until fish isopaque in center. Use anovenproof pan and meltthe butter in it. Removefish with slotted spoonand place in a singlelayer in prepared pan.Sprinkle fish with papri-ka and spoon butter overfish. Broil 3 to 5 inchesfrom heat source forabout 5 minutes, spoon-ing butter over fish once.

Roasted smashedpotato cakes

For Susan B., an East-side reader, who atethese at a restaurant.“They were seasonedwith just salt and pepper,and garnished withchives,” she said.

About 2 pounds small orbaby potatoes (I usedmylittle garden potatoes)

Olive oilSalt and pepper to tasteOnion chivesSour cream (optional)

Cook potatoes anddrain. Preheat oven to450 degrees. Brush bak-ing sheet with oil andheat in oven for 5 min-

utes. When potatoes arecool enough to handle,gently flatten and brushwith oil, and add sea-sonings. Roast about 15minutes or so. Turn overand roast until golden,another 15 minutes or so.Garnish with chives andside of sour cream.

Dolphin/Wallace

On August 14, 2013, Dy-lan Dolphin and LaurenWallace exchanged vowsof marriage on the beachof Siesta Key, Florida.

I’ve received severale-mails recently claim-ing to come from thepost office and FederalExpress telling me theywere unable to deliver apackage.

The e-mails look sus-picious and, upon check-ing, I’ve learned I’m oneof many people receiv-ing them.

Two such e-mailscame in August, alleged-ly from the UnitedStates Postal Service,asking me to downloadand print out a label,then take it at the near-

est postoffice.Fortunate-ly, I didn’tdo thatbecause itcould havecaused bigproblems.

FederalExpresshas a

warning on its websitesaying scammers areusing its corporate logo,colors and legal dis-claimers to make themappear authentic. But itsays this is all just a

scam to trick you intodivulging your personalor account information.Scammers could try toget you to send themmoney or do somethingelse that will result inyou getting defrauded.

FedEx says thesee-mail attacks havebeen going on for thepast few years becausethey are low-tech andcan easily be deployedon a massive scale.These so-called “phish-ing” scams continue tofool people – and somecontain a virus that will

be unleashed on yourequipment if you down-load anything they send.That virus can be usedto steal personal in-formation from yourcomputer.

FedEx says the mainthing the scammerswant is to collect user-names, passwords, So-cial Security numbers,and credit card details.Consumer Reports saysone of its staffers re-ceived one of these e-mails last year whichstated he’d have to pay afee if he failed to act.

Like FedEx, the U.SPostal Service has awarning on its websiteabout e-mails claimingto be from the postalservice seeking onlinepostage charges or tell-ing of attempted or in-tercepted package de-liveries. Postal officialssay you should deletethese messages withouttaking further action. Itsays, “The Postal In-spection Service isworking hard to resolvethe issue and shut downthe malicious program.”

Remember, neitherFedEx nor the post of-fice will send you ane-mail. If they need you,they’ll drop a note off atyour home or send you aletter. They have youraddress, but not youre-mail information.

Care Center emergen-cy and specialty veteri-nary care has surpassedanother significant mile-stone by treating its100,000th patient. Kasha,an 8-year old Ovcharkadog, was recently seen atthe Sycamore Townshipoffice, 6995 E. KemperRoad, for severe backpain.

Since opening in De-cember 2000, CareCenterhas treated everythingfrom common traumacases to providing radia-tion therapy on a penguincancer patient from theNewport Aquarium. Thepatients havemostly beendogs and cats, but the fa-

cility also treats “exotic”species likepetbirds, rep-tiles, and small mammalslike ferrets and rabbits.Approximately 75,000emergencies, 12,000 sur-geries and a combinationof internal medicine, car-diology and oncologymake up the remaining13,000 cases cared for inboth their Cincinnati andDayton locations.

As for their very spe-cial 100,000th patientKasha, she may needsome of that advancedtreatment in the form ofspinal surgery, but fornow, her care is startingwith some pain medica-tion and rest.
