Maple Knoll jazzes it up

Publicworkscrewsbundledup to tend to the streets, but itwas advance preparation thatkept the streets clear and light-ened the workload.

Sharonville Public WorksDirector Joe Kempe said acrew of six worked for morethan five hours Sunday night,prepping the streets for Mon-day morning’s sheet of ice.

“Then, we brought in anoth-er twoguys to drive around thecity tomakesureanyspots thatwere missed got treated,”Kempe said.

“We had to do extra salt-throwing and added calciumchloride because below 20 de-grees, salt is not very effectiveby itself,” Kempe said. “Thatallows the salt to perform bet-ter.

Temperatures sunk belowzero onMonday andwere fore-cast to be even lower today.

Public works crews in Wyo-ming came in to work on Sun-day, too, salting the roads in ad-vance of the deep freeze.

“Thismorningwedida littletouch up on the hills,” PublicWorks Director Terry Huxelsaid. “It’s just very cold.”

Both officials reportedmore salt use this year so farthan in the past two combined.

Compared to two years ago,we didn’t need anything hard-ly,” Huxel said. “We’ve gottenhit pretty good so far thisyear.”

Wyoming received a deliv-ery of calcium chloride onMonday, as well as truckloadsof salt to fill the salt barn to its300,000 ton capacity.

Kempe said Sharonville’ssalt barn is still nearly full.

A former Wyoming teacherhas written a book chroniclingher family through generationsof challenges that illustrate thepower of determination.

Isabelle Stamler taught inWyoming schools for 30 years,raising two sons with her hus-band, and retiring nearby.

The stories of her motherand grandmother span nearly acentury and thousands ofmiles,from Belarussia to New York,and finally to Cincinnati.

“These stories that I havewrittenhavebeen inmyheadallof my life,” Stamler said of herbook, “Sarah’s Ten Fingers.”

AchildofRussianJewish im-migrants who fled for theirlives from the SovietUnion, shecredits her grandmother Sarah,whom she described as wily,brilliant and illiterate.

It was a revolution, the deathof Czarist Russia marking thebirth of the Soviet Union.

“She couldn’t read or write,but was smarter than all of usput together,” Stamler said ofthe single mother of six chil-dren. “It starts with a verysmart woman who wanted herfamily tohavesomethingbetterthan she had.”

The book tells of her grand-mother’s determination as shescoured battlefields in Russia,immediately after an upheaval,when the steam was still risingfrom the bodies.

“She went to the battlefield,and she would skin the horsesfor the hides, tomakemoney sothey could get out of there.”

When she arrived in Ameri-ca, “she lost her capability be-cause she didn’t know the lan-guage,” Stamler said. “So, herchildren took over.

“There is strong will in thisfamily,” she said. “I thought itwas normal, but it was not.

“It was a very big gift.”Stamler is sharing that gift

In the United States,Stamler’s mother fell inlove with a man of privi-lege, but when the GreatDepression hit, and hecouldn’t find a job, he de-serted hermother and hisinfant daughter.

Isabelle was just a ba-by when her mother, likeher grandmother, gath-ered the resolve to moveforward.

“I was raised with thiswonderful love,” Stamlersaid.

Shegrewup in thepoorsection of the Bronx, andthen went to college.

“My husband and Imarried young andmoved to Cincinnatiwhere, much to my sur-prise, I became an Ohio-an,” she said.

“But Iwill never forgetthe fact that I was bornand raised in New York.”

Sheworked in theWyo-ming school system be-fore moving to the city,choosing it for its superi-or education.

A teacher of languagearts and social studies,she started the gifted pro-gram inWyoming, as wellas Holocaust education.

“Wyoming was verysupportive,”Stamlersaid.“It was a very fulfillingcareer.”

Her writing came dur-ing retirement, when shehad time onher hands andenergy to spare.

She hopes readers willtake away two messagesfrom her book.

“First is how strongwomen can be when theworld doesn’t allow themto be strong,” Stamlersaid, “when the worldsays they should take a

secondary position.“Second is what a mir-

acle the United States ofAmerica is.

“My familywas no bet-ter thanterriblypersecut-ed peasants. They camehere.

“The book is called ‘Sa-rah’s Ten Fingers’ be-cause she would hold upthese 10 fingers and ask:‘Which one is expend-able?’

“Shemanaged todo theimpossible because shewas smart, she wasstrong, and I think thebook speaks of what hu-man people can do underthe worst of circum-stances.”

Down on the farm,the continues

It’sacouplemonthsoutof the year that kids prayfor their school to close,and road conditions makea 30-minute commute afull-dayevent, however tofarmers it means little tono commission for a cou-ple months.

Gorman HeritageFarm is no different. Seton 122 acres, the farm is anon-profit organizationthat teaches children andadults the importance ofagriculture and what itmeans to be environmen-tally cautious.

However during thefreezing temperatures itis near impossible to growvegetation thatwould oth-erwise benefit the localcommunity, and the num-ber of visitors dwindlesdown as the temperaturesdo, so how does the farmstay alive?

“Dedicated volunteersare the driving force inkeeping the animals safeandhappy, theyareanoth-er set of eyes and ears toaddress any animals’needs,” said Kelsey Berg-er, the property and farmdirector andwhohasbeenworking with GormanFarm for more than twoyears.

During this time of theseasonKelsey sayswater,food, and shelter are es-

sentials for keeping ani-mals happy and healthy.By using heated poultrywaterers, the animalshave a consistent supplyof water throughout theday to prevent dehydra-tion, and the feed is in-creased to make sure theanimals are taking inenough calories to keepthemselves warm.

Volunteers also take inextra amounts of hay andboard up openwindows toprevent drafts and keepthe animals warm. Gor-man Heritage Farm goesthe extra mile to insurethe animals and farmyardin the wintertime is safeand comfortable aroundthe clock.

Schools nearallotment ofcalamity days

Princeton City Schoolshas used three of its fivecalamity days, an unusualnumber so early in theschool year, according toEd Theroux, director ofstudent services forPrinceton.

“It’s unprecedented,meaning that we have notused this many days soearly as long as I can re-member, which is since2000,” Theroux said.

The decision to closeschools today was a com-

bination of extreme tem-peratures and road condi-tions.

“We are still workingon cleaning the schoollots,” Theroux said.“Many of them are icedover and would be a dan-ger to students and staff.

“The extreme condi-tions are hazardous for allchildren,” Theroux said.“We could not guaranteethat all students would besafe coming in, due tothose conditions.”

Wyoming City Schoolshas delayed the start ofclasses twice due toweather, with Jan. 6 as itssecond cancellation of theschool year, according topublic relations directorSusannaMax.

The district canceledschool only once last year.

Today’s decision wasmade with temperaturesin mind, as the lowplunged below zero.

“As always, the safetyof our students is our pri-ority,” Wyoming Superin-tendent Susan Lang said.“With Wyoming being aneighborhood schoolwhere many studentswalk or bike, andwith stu-dentsat twoofourschoolswalking outside to changeclasses, drastic tempswere reason enough toclose,” Lang said.

Mount Notre Dame studentswent to Liberty,KY, on a servicetrip and to get a taste of a moresimple way of life – to slowdown, breathe and get closer toGod.

Liberty is a small towntucked into the hills of centralKentucky, and home to manywonderful people and a slowerpaceof life.Forsevenyears, stu-dents and adults have visitedLiberty to work with the resi-dents who live lives focused onsimplicity and faith. The week-end of Oct. 24-27, 56 studentsand12 adultswent to experiencethe way of life in Liberty.

While in Liberty, the groupworked on several organicfarms (picking, planting, sort-ing, watering, preparing theground, cleaning plants, trim-ming), helped elderly and dis-abled, spent time with residentsat the non-profit Galilean Chil-dren’sHome,helped install elec-trical wire in a communitychurch, shoveled manure,helped with construction pro-jects, spent time with the chil-drenofthecommunitywhohave

been through somemajor trage-dies the past two years, andmuchmore.

The MND team also devel-oped a sense of communityamong participants and friendsin Liberty: together they playedvolleyball, enjoyed folk music,

have bonfires, lay under thestars and reflect about life.

“I believe that no one canreally understand what Libertyis until they experience it them-selves. To say that Liberty iseducational is an understate-ment and I look forward to the

newstories, thenewlessons thatIwill encounter on future trips,”said MND student from theclass of 2016,Maria Beckman ofLoveland, who participated inthe trip.

MNDmakes the trip toLiber-ty three times a year, and they

often do a Christmas visit to seethe local play. The organizer ofthetrip,ToddForman,MNDfac-ulty member, has been takingstudents and adult chaperonestoLibertysince1988.This isFor-man’s seventh year atMND andthis wasMND’s 23rd trip.

WYOMING—The usually fes-tive month of December waseven more so for the Brian Pit-man family as the WyomingHigh School wrestling coachcelebratedhis100th careerdualwin.

It came against SummitCountry Day Dec. 12. Making iteven more noteworthy wasNoah Pitman scoring the decid-ing points with the pin. Noah, isBrian’s freshman son.

“I didn’t even realize it,” Pit-man said. “I went through thescores a couple days later andwent, ‘Wait! My son was theclincher!’Weneeded toscore36points and he was the 36thpoint.”

He had fantasized monthsbefore of havinghis son seal thevictory.

Coaching his son is a new en-deavor. The elder Pitman oftenhas his assistants domost of thetalking to the young Cowboy.

“I have to get rid ofDad for amoment and coach him like Iwould any other kid,” Pitmansaid. “Mystomach turnsqueasyand I get real nervous. It’s amuch more different feeling.”

Noah Pitman is wrestling at126pounds, downfrom138.He’son a team loaded with withyouth.

“We have a lot of freshmenand sophomores starting,” Pit-man said. “They have to learnhowtopractice, how toget afterit and how to prepare. We’relearning as we go. When Febru-ary hits, our expectations are

and Justin Shields have also ex-perienced some early success.Shieldswon at152 pounds in theNorwood Invitational, Pitmanwon 126 and Kremzar wasfourth at 170.

“He was heavier toward thebeginning of the year and he fi-nally got down to 170,” Pitmansaid of Kremzar. “Shields waswrestling up at 160 for a while.”

JuniorAsaPalmerwaswres-tling up at 145 pounds but Pit-man plans on dropping him to138 for more competitive re-sults. His senior brother, Ike,has been solid at 220 pounds.

Wyoming’s heavyweightsare all freshman, led mainly by

Josh Bell at 285 pounds.“He had never wrestled be-

fore,” Pitman said. “He cameout a week and a half after westarted practice. He’s notknowledgeable yet, but he’ll getthere eventually.”

In the lower weights, fresh-man Zach Van Fossen has hadsome success in the 120-poundclass.

“He’s come a long way,” Pit-man said. “He reminds me ofthe progress Luke Kremzarmade last year. He’s got a lot ofpotential.”

SHARONVILLE — The hitsjust keep on coming.

Princeton High School sen-ior Kelsey Mitchell – alongwith her sister, Chelsea -signed a letter of intent to playcollege basketball at OhioStateUniversity inNovember.

Mitchell brokeTammySvo-boda’s school career scoringrecord of 1,479 points Jan. 4, amarkthatstoodsince1987.Shescored a team-high 17 to helpthe Vikings to a 59-50 roadwinagainst Lakota West.

Princeton improved to 9-1with a 48-37 win over ColerainJan. 8 as Mitchell scored 22,leaving her at 1,504 points andcounting.

“She missed 15 games withinjuries last year,” Vikingshead coach Jill Phillips said.“Think about that. She wouldhave broken the record lastyear and had all this time toadd to it. We’re still not evenhalfway through her senioryear. She’s unbelievable.”

The same day as the Cole-rain win, Mitchell earned anomination for the McDon-ald’s All American game, all ofwhich fazed the 5-foot-7 guardabout as much as a passive 2-3zone defense.

“I didn’t even know aboutthe record until they stoppedthe game,” Mitchell said. “It’snice,but itwasn’tagoalorany-thing. I still have more tocome.”

Phillips said her personal-ity has made this a whole loteasier

“She’s very humble. Shedoesn’t like all the attention.She’d rather share it,” shesaid.

Mitchell agreed.“I hate it,” she said of the

hoopla surrounding her hoops.“People look at you a certainway, like you’vegot somethingspecial over thembecauseyoutalk to the media. I don’t likethat. I’m just playing.”

At an extremely high level.Phillips said there’s no good

way to defendMitchell.“If you put your best player

on her, you risk getting her infoul trouble,” she said. “If youdouble- and triple-team her,she finds the open player.

“Teams have tried a box-and-one or a man-to-man witha shadow to double her. I thinkyou really have to rely on herhaving a bad night – and shedoes have those sometimes;she’s human – to slow herdown.

“She’s so balanced. She canget to the basket on a drive orshe can shoot the three. She’ssogoodawayfromtheball thatshe’s always moving, alwaysfindingawaytogetopen,mak-ing a defense really work onher. But because she’s so goodaway from the ball, we’ve nev-er had to adjust reallywhatwedo in our offense.”

Mitchell beganplaying bas-ketball at age 4 after watchingbrothers Kevin and Cameronin their youth league games.By age 7 she could beat theboys – who now play IndianaUniversity Southeast - in agame of H-O-R-S-E.

“I’m a competitive person,”she said. “It feels good to goupagainst good players thatmake you better. I play thegame fast. Ever since seventhgrade I’ve been double-teamed, triple-teamed, andthat’s fine. That getsmy team-mates the ball.

“I’m not worried aboutnumbers or rankings. We’regoing to come out and play ev-ery day like it’s our last. Wegetting ourselves ready forthe tournamentandwewant tomake a good run.”

In many ways Mitchell al-readyhasmade agood run, ac-cording to Phillips.

“She’s a once-in-a-lifetimeplayer because of her talent,”the coach said. “But she’s aonce-in-a-lifetime person,too.”

A publication of

Howard Ain’s assessmentof customer’s confusion aboutthe deregulated marketplaceof traditional utility service isaccurate. However, a strategythat Mr. Ain did not addressbut truly does benefit resi-dents and small businesses isfor communities to adopt agovernmental aggregationprogram.

While an aggregation strat-egy may not eliminate all theharassment that takes place,residents are assured that thecommunity has negotiated theprice as well as the terms andconditions of service with asingle alternative supplier.Local communities includingthe villages of Addyston andCleves, the City of Cheviotand Green Township have

implementedaggregationprograms forthe benefit oftheir resi-dents.

The electedofficialsshould becommendedfor taking theinitiative toimplement

aggregation for the benefit ofresidents and small business-es. While many believe gov-ernment should not be in-volved in such services, un-fortunately state law is writ-ten in such a manner that localgovernment must be involvedso that the benefits of aggre-gation inure to residents.

Aggregation results inlower rates since alternativesuppliers assume a greaterpercentage of the populouswill enroll resulting in greaterload diversity that leads tolower rates. Aggregation pro-grams allow all residents tobenefit and receive the sameprice and terms of service butresidents retain the choice toopt-out of the program.

Eagle Energy endorsesaggregation programs andwould encourage more com-munities to adopt these pro-grams for the benefit of resi-dents. Eagle Energy adminis-ters the aggregation programof 11 communities andthrough September the resi-dents of those communitieshave realized $3 million in

lower utility rates. Aggrega-tion programs are implement-ed without cost to residentsmeaning the realized savingstranslates into a $4 to $5 mil-lion local economic stimulus.

Mr. Ain also mentions thePUCO website when compar-ing rates. The PUCO ignoresthe sales tax component ofnatural gas rates. Customersshould make sure they aremaking a valid natural gascomparison when evaluatingnatural gas rates by includingthe 6.75 percent sales taximpact on any natural gasoffer. Often alternative sup-pliers ignore this tax whenquoting prices. Sales tax doesnot apply to electric rates.

As a final note, the PUCOhas issued revised rules for

comment dealing with themanner alternative suppliersmust abide by in the solicita-tion of customers and relatedmatters. Eagle Energy in itscomments suggested door-to-door solicitation be prohibitedespecially in communitiesthat have adopted a govern-mental aggregation program.Eagle Energy also suggestedin its comments that addition-al clarity be mandated when autility and its marketing affili-ate operate in the same serv-ing area; e.g., Duke Energyand Duke Energy Retail Sales.

Jan. 8 questionWhat do you think of city

council giving the go aheadto resuming the streetcarconstruction for Cincinnati?

“Damn fools!!!”J.G.

“I think it’s a typical ex-ample of bait and switch.You tell the voters onething to get elected andthenturnaroundanddotheexact opposite. The newmayor should be ashamedof himself for ignoring thewishes of the voters whowant this project stopped.”

C.H.

“Stupid! Just like thestadiums were.

“After all they are poli-ticians who are only in itfor themselves. They can-not pay the retired firemenand policemen so let’s gointo debt a little more. Ihave been to cities withstreetcars and they are agimmick.”

J.S.D.

“Restores my faith incommon sense.

“True this street car isbut the start of a properpublic transport light railinfrastructure, but a jour-ney of a 1,000 miles beginswith a single step. ‘Nufsaid.”

D.R.

“Cincinnati needs to getwith it and continue tomove forward on thestreetcar construction. Weneed to move forward ontransportation for achange, instead of con-stantly being stagnant(traffic jams anyone?), ormoving backwards by theproverbial 10 years.

“Now that downtownhas been inundated byyoung professionals wholive in and actually like ourdowntown, the rest of Cin-cinnati needs to get out oftheir rabbit holes and getmoving.

“You cannot expect Cin-cinnati to be a world-classcity without world-classtransportation, and that in-cludes light rail from thesuburbs to downtown.

“The streetcar is just afirst step thatcansendCin-cinnati into a bright futureinstead of lagging behind.”

J.B.

Jan. 1 questionShould the U.S. adopt an

advisory panel’s recommen-dations to end the govern-ment’s systematic collectionof logs of all Americans’ cel-lular phone calls and requirethose to be kept in privatehands “for queries and datamining” only by court or-der? Why or why not?

“No advisory panelshouldbeadopted.Afeder-al judge has already de-clared that the Obama/NSA data mining acts areunconstitutional on Dec.16.

“Themedia fails tomen-tion that President Obamacampaigned against thePatriot Act in 2008 – but af-ter his election, he did notkeep his promise. Instead,President Obama injectedan unlimited dose of ster-oids into the arms of theNSA and the Departmentof Homeland Security forpolitical power. TheNSA isjust the beginning of Oba-ma’s data collecting frenzy– there are also the newObamacare medical rec-ords, new Common Corestudent records and thenew FBI DNA database.Since 2009, the Depart-ment of Homeland Securi-ty has been pushing statesto upgrade their drivers li-censes with RFID (radio-frequency identification)chips 'that will signal a se-cure system topull upyourbiographic and biometricdata.'

“Citizens need to standup to protect our personalfreedoms, privacy, and lib-erty before they are alllost.”

NEXT QUESTIONDo you think school offi-cials made the right deci-sion recently by cancelingclasses because of coldtemperature? Why or whynot?

Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to viae-mail. Send your answers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line.

I enjoy voting, and I try to beeducated on the issues. However,as soon as I got to the pollingplace I was confronted by a wom-an who was on the pathway to thevoting place, who asked me tosign a petition for a “right towork” law in Ohio.

She stated categorically, “InOhio, workers are forced to join aunion or not work in someplaces.” Well, that is kind of true.The subtlety lies in what she didnot tell people.

If a company becomes union-ized, it is because there was ademocratic vote to see if theworkers wanted the union. Ifthey vote “yes,” then indeed, youmust join the union to workthere. This is only logical. If not,only the workers in the unionbear the cost of the union, but allworkers benefit from pay andbenefit improvements made bythe union on their behalf.

It would not be fair, no matterwhat your beliefs are aboutunions, to have some workers payto be members of the union, butall workers benefit, whether theyare members or not. In addition,

the fact that notall workers aremembers doesone thing only:weakens the abil-ity to collectivelybargain. And that,I surmise is the

real reasonbehind thatso-called “rightto work” pet-

ition.Let me give a parallel exam-

ple: If you have joined Costco orSam’s Club, you pay a fee. Forthat fee, prices are negotiated forbulk purchases, and you reap thebenefits. I for one would be upsetif Sam’s Club turned around andsaid that they were going to letpeople in the door who are notmembers, but expected currentmembers to continue to bear thecost so “everyone can shop here.”

I daresay the lady with thepetition at my voting spot wouldhave a harder time convincingthe well-heeled Indian Hill folksthat she had a petition we shouldsign “because in Ohio shoppersare forced to join a club or not

shop in some places.”I for one am tired of this politi-

cal badgering in voting places.Once inside, I had to listen tosome dreadful bore spout off hisbeliefs about voter registrationand ID laws to some of the work-ers, which I suspect is not al-lowed within 100 feet.

I have nothing against freespeech. However, the votingplace is sacred, and it is wherewe are all equal, and all expressour ultimate opinions, silently. Idon’t want to sign a petition, betold who is the best candidate orlisten to your views on anything –I want to vote, based on what Ihave learned and read. I decidedmy vote before I got there. Soshut up and vote.

By the way, when I said to thelady I would not sign her petitionshe looked at me as if I had vom-ited on her shoes. I wish I hadargued with her, but, you see, itwas a voting place and I thinkthese discussions are not appro-priate.

Bruce Healey is a resident of IndianHill.

Polling places should be sacred

Detectingbreast cancer early –before symptomsbegin – can savelives. That’s why it’s so importantfor women to undergo regularbreast cancer screenings as partof a preventive health care regi-men.

The risk of breast cancer in-creaseswithage,with60as theav-erage age for first breast cancerdiagnosis in the United States.However, many younger womenare diagnosed with breast cancer,and detection steps should beginin early adulthood.

Starting in their 20s, womenshould learn about the benefitsand limits of breast self-examina-tions. Performed correctly, a self-exam is a systematic, step-by-stepmethod for detecting changes inbreast tissue. By performing self-exams regularly, women can be-come familiar with how theirbreasts normally look and feel sothat changes become noticeable.Womenshould report anychangesto their physician immediately.

Most experts recommend thatwoman in their 20s and30s also re-ceive a clinical breast exam atleast once every three years. Per-formed by amedical professional,these are a good opportunity tolearn how to conduct a self-exam.

Physiciansgenerally rec-ommend thatwomen beginhaving annualmammogramsat age 40. Wom-en at higher risk– for example,those with afamily historyof breast cancer

– should consider other screeningtests as well. The American Can-cer Society recommends thathigh-risk women have annualmammograms along with an MRIbeginning at age 30.

High-riskwomen include thosewho:

» have the BRCA1 or BRCA2genetic mutation;

» have a parent, brother, sisterorchildwith theBRCA1orBRCA2genetic mutation;

» have a lifetime risk of breastcancer of 20 to 25 percent, basedon recognized risk-assessmenttools;

» had radiation therapy of thechest between the ages of 10 and30;

» have Li-Fraumeni syndrome,Cowden syndrome or Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome, or

who have a parent, brother, sisteror child with one of these condi-tions.

When cancer is detectedA positive diagnosis for cancer

presents women and their doctorswith a number of choices for nextsteps. These can include: surgery,chemotherapy, radiation therapy,hormone therapy, bone-directedtherapy and targeted therapy.

Anadditionaloption isaclinicaltrial.Clinical researchconcerningbreast cancer has resulted in newtreatments and improved overallsurvival, and are carefully de-signed tests of medicines andtreatment options. These studiesoffer patients the opportunity toreceive new medicines or treat-ments that are not available to thegeneral public. There are numer-ous clinical trials available in theTristate area. Visit www.ohcare-.com to view some available op-portunities.

The good news is that 80 per-cent of cancer survivors will en-joy thesame life spanas thosewhohavenever hadbreast cancer. Thekey is tocatch it earlyandstop it inits tracks.

Tired of folding laundry? Sick ofcleaning the floor?

Ever wish you didn’t have to carry aback pack filled with heavy books?

Want to spend the day away fromhome, but need to feed the family pet?

These are some of the problems stu-dents at Wyoming primary schools havesolved.

Pupils in the gifted education classesat Elm, Hilltop and Vermont schools be-came inventors, following the stepsfrombrainstorming to survey, drawingsto prototype.

Then they presented their prototypesat the Invention Convention at eachschool the week of Dec. 9-12, explainingthe problem that was solved, demon-strating how the invention worked, and

putting a price tag on the new product.Emma Teras, a third-grader at Ver-

mont School, has solved the problem ofthe dirty floor.

She created a sandal that attaches acleaning cloth to the bottom. Walkaround the room and leave a clean floorbehind.

“If you need to clean the floor anddon’t have time, the shoe protector canhelp you,” she said in her sales pitch,demonstrating how the pad fits to thesandal.

Elm fourth grader Zachary Goodefound away to take the chore out of fold-ing laundry.

With his remote-controlled GoodeLaundry Folder, just place the clothingonthedeviceandtheroboticarmdoesallthe work.

Collin McPhail, a fourth-grader atHilltop School, adapted a scooter to hold

a back pack. The pack included an orga-nizer, to keep everything its properplace.

LillyJohnson’s sisterhasaguineapig.“She’s always rushing so she doesn’t

like feeding him because it takes up hertime,” Lilly, a third-grader at VermontSchool, said.

The Pet Feeder can be programmedto adjust howmuch food a pet gets, whatday itwill bedispensed, andatwhat timeof day.

It dispenses food, and peace of mind.Gifted coordinator and intervention

specialist Diann Blizniak said the pro-jectwas designed to teach problem solv-ing as a hands-on process.

“The students surveyed friends andfamily tofindarealisticproblemtosolveandthentheydevelopedadesigntosolvethat problem,” Blizniak said. “Seekinginput from others during the design

process and during the building of theirprototypes helped the students to learnthat collaboration often results in a bet-ter product and that making modifica-tions is an integral part of problem solv-ing.”

Students used the SCAMPERmethodof substitute, combine, adapt, modify,purpose, eliminate, reverse and rear-range, to make changes and come upwith a new solution.

“Communication skills were demon-strated when the students presentedtheir inventions to friends and family atthe in-school Invention Convention,”Blizniak said.

What lessons did they learn?Patience, endurance, and an inven-

tion requires challenging thought andcontinuous improvement.

JANUARY 15, 2014 • TRI-COUNTY PRESS • B3LIFE

Brrrr! Today is defi-nitely a soup day. Thetemperature in my herbgarden read 11 belowzero. I’m glad we’re notentertaining this weeksince I have my Amishwooden clothes racklined with clothes dryingby the wood stove andthat takes up a goodamount of room. Not

exactlythe ambi-ence forhavingpeopleover, butall is stillgood. Astheclothesdry, theyadd a bitof needed

moisture to the dry air.Grandson Jack had

his tonsils and adenoidsout over the holidays, soI took over some soupsand other favorite foods.He was able to eat abowl of the chicken tor-tellini soup recipe thatI’m sharing today rightaway. His brothers, Lukeand Will, finished it off.It reminded me of howsomething like soup cannourish and make onefeel special. I wanted toshare it with you be-cause it really is easyand healthful and goestogether in minutes.

Rita’s feel-better15-minute chickentortellini soup

The broth is easilydigestible and the garlicis an antibiotic. Good forsomeone whose appetiteis compromised. Thechicken and tortelliniprovide protein andsome carbs, and thefresh greens containantioxidants.

1quart or so of low-sodiumchicken broth

1garlic clove, smashedCooked chicken – agenerous cup or so

1bag frozen cheesetortellini

Fresh greens – spinach,chard, whatever

Parmesan or Romanocheese

Put broth and garlicclove into pot. Bring toboil. Add chicken andtortellini to boilingbroth. When tortellinifloats to top, it’s done.Remove garlic. Stir inhandfuls of freshgreens. Ladle into bowlsand sprinkle withcheese.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

You can leave thechicken out if you want amore broth-type soup.

More pantry herbsand spices that fightcolds and flu: Check outmy blog for these plusnice recipes for ginger-lemon tea and chilledcitrus drink.

Birdseed ringPam Freeman, a New

Richmond reader,shared this recipe awhile back. Here’s myadaptation. Check outPam’s seasonal crafts onher blog on Laura’s leanbeef website. Pam al-ways has something funand doable for familiesto make together.

3 cups wild birdseed

1 cup sunflower seeds1 envelope unflavoredgelatin

3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour3 tablespoons corn syrup1⁄2 cup hot waterCooking sprayHeavy ribbon or string

Combine birdseed,gelatin, flour, corn syrupand water. Spray Bundtcake pan (or other bakeware) with cookingspray. Press seed mix-ture very firmly intopan. Place pan in warm,dry place and let sitovernight or until dry.Depending upon howwarm it is, this couldtake a few days.

Once the birdseedmixture is hardened,turn pan over to releasering. Tie ribbon aroundit and hang where birdscan find it.

Cookie cutters: Funfor the kids. Spray in-sides well and pack themixture in. Poke a holein center if you’re goingto hang them up. After aday, you will be able togently push mixture outin one piece; it will stillbe soft but you can lay iton rack to finish drying.

Coming soonThe Goetta issue. As

I always do this time ofyear, I’ll be sharing my

best goetta recipe alongwith readers’ recipes.Send your favorite goet-ta recipe, along with thestory of how/why youmake it.

Years ago I heardmost email received byconsumers is junk mail oflittle interest to the recip-ients.

That’s not only just astrue today, but now youhave to watch out forspam emails designed tosteal your identity.

The easiest way forthieves to get your per-sonal information is toinfect your computerwith a virus. The virusallows the thieves accessto your information, in-cluding passwords, whichcan even give them ac-

cess toyour bankaccounts.

Thesespamemailshave beensent at anincreasingrate inrecentmonth

disguised as all sorts ofthings. For instance, onecame from the “AppleSecurity Center” seekingaccount verification in-formation. But, a checkof the sender’s email

address showed it did notcome from Apple soclicking on the link it sentcould have infected yourcomputer.

Marlene, in Cincinnati,wrote me she received anemail allegedly fromWalmart, which claimedit was canceling her de-livery because of prob-lems with her address.She was asked to click ona link and send her newaddress. She wrote, “Ibelieve the email is ahoax and scam to get mypersonal info since Ihaven’t ordered anythingfromWalmart recently. Ididn’t open the ‘form’they asked me to com-plete.”

Dan, of Green Town-ship, wrote me he re-ceived an email claimingto come from Costco andalso claiming there was adelivery delay because ofa problemwith his ad-

dress. The wording ofthat email is almost ex-actly the same as the oneMarlene received claim-ing to be fromWalmart.Again, Dan says he didnot click on the link re-questing his informationbecause he realized itwas a scam since hedoesn’t belong to Costco.

Emails are still beingsent, allegedly from sol-diers overseas, seekingassistance moving valu-able items. The latestsays, “Can I trust you?” Itasks for, “Assistance forsafe keeping of twomil-itary trunk boxes valu-able that will be of greatbenefit to both of us.”Notice the grammaticalmistakes, which are verycommon in these scamemails, because theyoften come from over-seas where English is notthe scammer’s first lan-guage.

Finally, here’s one ofthe most interestingspam emails I’ve seen ina long time. It says, “No-tice to Appear in Court.”It gives a case numberand says, “This is to ad-vise that you are re-quired to attend the courtof Washington in January8, 2014 for the hearing ofyour case.” I hope younoticed the grammaticalerrors. It goes on,“Please,kindly prepare and bringthe documents related tothis case on the date men-tioned above. Attendanceis compulsory. The copyof the court notice isattached to this letter,please, download andread it thoroughly.”

Once again, the gram-matical mistakes arenumerous in those sen-tences as well. From thelanguage I can tell thisalso came from overseas– and the email address

with it shows it did notcome from any court-house. But it mightprompt someone to clickon the link provided tosee if they can figure outwhat’s going on. Thatwould be a mistake be-cause it most likely con-tains a virus to steal yourpersonal information.

Bottom line, be verycareful of emails contain-ing links – even those thatappear to come fromreputable companies andagencies. All too oftenthey are just scams hop-ing to get you to click ontheir link so they cansteal from you.
