Fundraiser to ‘Bloom’ Sept. 8Stepping Stones’ major annual

fundraiser is once again taking itsshow on the road.

Bloom, which is a tented gardenparty thatmoves to a different localresidence each year, will be 7 p.m.Saturday, Sept. 8, at the Indian Hillhome of Beth and Doug Brenda-mour.

The fundraiser includes tapasdining from approximately 20 localrestaurants, cocktails, music fromJohnny Clueless and a silent auc-tion.

This year’s emcee is Nick Cloo-ney.

While there numerous reasons toattendBloom, PeggyKreimer, Step-ping Stones communications andgrants director, said the silent auc-tion typicallybrings out the compet-

itiveness of attend-ees.

“A lot of peoplecome to Bloom toplan their vaca-tions,” she said.

Laura Haley, spe-cial events assistant,said the items thattend to be most pop-

ular are the vacation packages.This year’s trips include a stay at

the Chateaux on Silver Lake in DeerValley, Utah; the Sanctuary inScottsdale, Arizona; a week stay inPuerto Vallarta in Mexico; and fivedays at Greenbrier in White Sul-phur Springs, West Virginia.

“This is probably going to be oneof our highest bidding wars,” Haleysaid.

The silent auction also includesBengals andReds ticket packages, a“pedal wagon” tour through Cincin-

nati and a special quilt handmadebyGail Fischer and Jane Frontera.

Stepping Stones will also honorConnie Laug, of Terrace Park, whocreated Bloom more than eightyears ago.

“We’re honoring her and recog-nizing her for her foresight and vi-sion,” said Theresa Ciampone, spe-cial events chair.

For the first time at Bloom, thefundraiser will also include a “pa-tron party” inside the Brendamourhome.

Stepping Stones is a non-profitorganization whose mission is to in-crease independence, improve livesand promote inclusion for childrenand adults with disabilities.

The group offers programs attwo locations, the Stepping StonesCenter, 5650 Given Road, IndianHill, and Camp Allyn, 1414 Lake Al-lyn Road, Batavia.

Armstrong Chapel UnitedMethodist Church is offering ahelping hand to students inMadi-sonville.

The church is starting its sev-enth year as partners with WhizKids tutoring program at John P.Parker School in Madisonville.Church officials and membersvisit the school to assist studentsin one-on-one tutoring sessions,assist with homework or gameclubs or start their own after-school club.

The church is also looking forvolunteers to buy healthy snacksfor students, tutoring on Satur-day mornings and donating $25for students to go to summercamp.

Armstrong member LindaStover said the church has ap-proximately 25 tutors in the pro-gram, which also partners withseveral other local churches.

Stover said while the goal is tohelp children with their studiesit’s often the tutors who feel likethey’ve gained themost from theexperience.

“It’s life changing for tutors aswell,” she said.

She said many of the tutors inthe program stay for severalyears, sometimes developingmentoring relationships with thestudents they assist each week.

Armstrong member Galin

Mills said he’s been tutoring withWhiz Kids in Madisonville sincethe beginning and has begunmentoring two students from theschool.

Mills said he beganworking atthe school because of the impor-tance of “a good education.” Hesaid some students aren’t afford-ed the same opportunities or ad-vantages as others, and those arethe childrenwho need extra help.

“I have a real love of chil-

dren,” Mills said.Stover said while the church

has strong participation in theWhiz Kids program, more volun-teers and assistance are alwaysneeded.

Whiz Kids begins its seventhyear at John P. Parker SchoolSept. 18.

MADEIRA—MayorRickBrasington has formed anEconomic DevelopmentCommittee task force tocome up with a game planfor the former Kutol Prod-ucts Co. property on Ca-margo Road and the areasurrounding it.

The initiative comestwo months after MadeiraCity Council voted againstzone changes that wouldhave allowed Indian Hillbusinessman RichardGreiwe and his partner,

NorthAmericanPropertiesof down-town Cin-cinnati, tobuild a 184-unit luxuryapartmentcomplex on

the site vacated by Kutolwhen it moved to Sharon-ville last year.

Greiwe’s proposalsparked formation of citi-zen groups on both sides ofthe issue. The proposal’sdemise at a hotly contestedMadeira City Council

meeting in June promptedGreiwe to advise city coun-cil that it should decidewhat kind of developmentit wants on the Kutol sitebefore engaging a develop-er.

“Until this happens thesite will stay vacant andMadeirawill loseawonder-ful economic-developmentopportunity,” Greiwe said.

“Our goal is to reach aconsensus on the top bestuses for that area and offeroptions that are a real pos-sibility for implementationin theshort term,”Brasing-ton said

INDIAN HILL — The nets areup in the local gyms as IndianHill area teams have begun thegirls volleyball season.

Indian Hill’s girls finished 8-15 (6-8 CHL) under coach EllenHughes in 2011.

Hughes had two key losseswith the graduation of AllisonDammeyer (CHL first team)and Sarah Arington (honorablemention).

Junior middle blocker Lau-ren Epcke (5-foot-9) bringssome veteran experience afterfinishing No. 24 in the league inattack numbers. Senior JuliaSchroeder will start at setterandseniorsLindyHoweandAd-die Fries will be defensive spe-cialists.

“Our defense is headed byourseniors, butbasicallyourof-fense is all sophomores and acouple juniors,” Hughes said.“They (underclassmen) playedin the offseason and did amaz-ingly well. I think this is a teamthat will grow a lot during theseason.”

Hughes looks for sopho-moresMackenzieMcMillanandMarie Taylor plus juniors Lind-sey Tracy andMaddi Bennett toalso factor in to Indian Hill’ssuccess.

The Lady Braves are at Tay-lor Aug. 30, before hosting thedefending champion WyomingCowboys Sept. 4.

“I think we’ll finish hopeful-ly in the top three,”Hughes saidof her league chances. “Defi-nitely Wyoming is a power-house. We know that going intotheseason.Wecanfinishsecondif we improve the way weshould.”

In Blue Ash, Ursuline Acad-emy is going for its seventh-consecutivewinning season. Bylooking at the Lions’ returningtalent, the squad should meetthat goal.

In the front of the net, Ursu-line should be strong with Uni-versity of Notre Dame commitSam Fry roaming the middle.

Fry posted 100 blocks and

275 kills in 2011, according toGGCLsports.com.

Fry is one of three returningstarters coming back from lastseason’s team. Right-side playerRachelGarnett andoutsidehitterLauren Wilkins will join Fry inthe starting lineup.

Libero Courtney Grafton andmiddle blocker Paige Kebeshould also be key contributors.

The new season also offers aninteresting story on the sideline.Head coach Jeni Case is twowinsshy of 300 career victories.

In Hyde Park, the SummitCountry Day team hopes to pickup where it left off under headcoach Michael Schlomer.

Schlomer returned to the Sil-ver Knights’ sideline last fall af-ter spending some time awayfrom coaching.

Going into the 2012 campaign,Schlomerhas Summit coming offa 14-10 record, with several keyplayers returning for their seniorseasons.

At outside hitter, seniors Han-nah Cunningham and MorganneHarris, should drill home manypoints, while senior libero ClaireGriffith takes the reigns on de-fense.

The squad should also get keycontributors from junior middleblockerDana Thomas and sopho-more setter Jacki Noe.

They opened the seasonagainst Purcell Aug. 27. Thesquad resumes play at LocklandAug. 30.

Back in Indian Hill, Cincin-natiCountryDayandheadcoachAshley Snell will attempt to de-fend their Miami Valley Confer-ence Gray Division title.

The squad went 9-3 in leagueplay last season.

The Lady Indians will com-pete in the Scarlet Division thisfall, along with Summit, CHCA,SevenHills and Cincinnati Chris-tian.

Mount Notre Dame won itssixthDivisionIstate title last sea-sonwith a successful tournamentrun through Wright State’s Nut-ter Center.

The Cougars lost three play-ers to Division I colleges (KelseyWolf-Kentucky, Aubree Hord-DePaul, Mary Crema-UC) alongwith eight other talented seniors.

However, coachJoeBurkehasseveral key returners from the2011 24-5 squad, including lastseason’sGirlsGreaterCincinnatiLeague-Scarlet division player ofthe year Michelle Strizak. Burkewas coach of the year.

“Michelle has developed intoone of the best outside hitter’s inthe nation and provides a lot ofexperience for the 2012 Cou-gars,” Burke said.

Also back from the champion-ship starting lineup is juniorright side hitter Christine Chan-dler (GGCL second team).

Stepping in to start this yearare senior middle blocker SarahHill, senior libero Brittany Inksand senior middle blockerMcKenzie Jones. Chandler, Hilland Jones are expected to leadthe MND offense.

“Defensively, I think we willbe able to improve daily into avery good defensive team,”Burke said. “We have a lot of de-fenders including Brittany Inks,Margo Wolf and Mirand Puthoff.The offseason has gone verywell.”

Puthoff has verbally commit-ted toWrightState,withMichelleStrizakcommitting to Illinois pri-or to last season’s title run.

The Cougars are on the roadagainst Lakota West Aug. 30 andthen back home with SycamoreSept. 4.

There is no shortage ofenergy in the football of-fice at theCollegeofMountSt. Joseph.

Headfootball coachRodHuber enters his 13th sea-son leading the Lions, butshows no signs of slowingdown any time soon.Huberspent his summer travel-ing to 18 cities around theworld, coaching footballwithProCampsWorldwide.Now, he is focused on lead-ing the Lions back to thepostseason for the firsttime since 2009.

“He can get you fired upto eat lunch,” said seniorlinebacker Adam Bigelow(Anderson) of his headcoach. “It is a lot of fun.”

Bigelowand thedefensewill be counted on to leadthe team this season. Itstarts up front with the de-fensive line and nosetackle

Russell Tur-ner (Fair-field). ChrisTaylor (Col-erain), SeanBrooks, andBen Mocah-bee (McNi-cholas) joinTurner in

the trenches. Konnor Ble-vins (Lakota West) leadsthe linebackers, along withJay Dolak and Cam Dierig(Highlands). Safety TylerElrod (Harrison) is theleader of the secondary.

“Our defense is theheart of our team,” Hubersaid.

The Lions boasted thetop rushing defense andtop scoring defense in theHeartland Conference lastseason. They will need torepeat that performanceand improve their pass de-fense in order to retake theconference title from two-time defending league

champ Franklin College.“We have a lot of confi-

dence in our guys on of-fense,” Bigelow said. “Ourdefense is alwayswilling tostepupandwingames ifweneed to.”

The Lions welcome anew offensive coordinatorandwill attempt togetbackto thepro-style,ball controloffense that led the pro-gram to four straight post-season appearances from2004 to 2007. All-confer-ence running back JamesClay returns for his seniorseason after rushing for113.2 yards per game andscoring 16 touchdowns as ajunior. Clay will be a work-horse for the Lions.

“He wants the ball asmuch as he can get it,” saidHuber.

The returning linemencharged with paving theway for Clay are BrandonKeller, Andrew Wilson,Matt Ray, and Tyler Breh.

Rob Blundred (Oak Hills)will play a larger role in theoffense this season, as heandconvertedquarterbackTrey McPhail will splittime at H-Back and tightend, often being featuredin the same formation to-gether. Tyler Feine (Ame-lia), a 6-foot-5 target, is theonly experienced wide re-ceiverback thisyear. Lead-ing the offense will be sen-ior quarterback Brian Pitz-er.

With an experiencedline in front of him and atalented running back be-hind him, Pitzer will needto be a better game man-ager in 2012.

The not-so-secret weap-on in the Lions program isall-conference punterGreg Tabar (Colerain). TheLions rarely lose the fieldposition battle with Tabaron the field.

Consistency will be akey this year, after a

streaky 2011 season.Mount St. Joseph start-

ed the 2011 season by win-ning its first three games,before dropping three,then winning three beforefalling in the annualBridgeBowl to rival ThomasMoreCollege. This season, theLions hope to be 4-0 head-ing into their Oct. 6 show-

down at home againstFranklin.

“We’ve got to come outright away and set the tonefor the rest of the season,”said Bigelow.

The Lions open the sea-son at home against Wil-mington College at 7 p.m.Saturday, Sept. 1.

It is hard to imagine ateam being disappointedwith winning 31 of its past35 games.

While disappointmentmight be a bit too strong,the Thomas More CollegeSaints remain hungry formore success.After reelingoff two straight undefeatedregular seasons capped byfirst round playoff victo-ries, the Saints slightlystumbled in 2011, losingtheir first regular seasongame since 2008, their firstconference game since2007, and their first roundplayoff game.

“We can’t be satisfied,”said head coach Jim Hil-vert. “We have lofty goalsfor this season.”

Hilvert enters his sixthseason as the ranked 22ndamong all active NCAAhead football coaches inwinning percentage (.768).The Saints are ranked 20thin the D3football.com pre-seasonTop25.SeniorsafetyZach Autenrieb (Elder) en-ters the season with 24 ca-reer interceptions, six shyof setting anewDivision IIIrecord for career intercep-tions.

To help prepare for adeeper postseason run thisyear, the Saints open theseason at 11th-ranked St.JohnFisher.With thismuchhype and pressure headinginto the season, the Saintswill be tested early and of-ten in their quest for a fifth-straightPresidentsAthleticConference title.

Sophomore quarterbackLukeMagness opened eyesafter starting the final twogames of the 2011 season.

Former Saints quarter-back Trevor Stellman (Con-ner) takes over offensivecoordinator duties afterBrian Sheehan was named

head coachat DefianceCollege. Hewill keep inplace theSaints’ dan-gerous op-tion attack,in whichspeedy

backs Domonique Haydenand Landon Savoy will pileup yardage.

The receiving corps isdeep, led by local productsAustin Studer (CampbellCounty), Ryan Winkler (Si-mon Kenton), Tony Bell(Northwest), Bobby Leon-ard (Dixie Heights), andMercier Doucette (BooneCounty).

The entire offensive linereturns intact, led by firstteam All-PAC tackle Jere-my Hoop (Glen Este), sec-ond team All-PAC centerKevin Naltner (Elder), andfellow senior Kevin Eads(Oak Hills).

Adam Rauch movedfrom running back to safe-ty.SkilledcornerbacksSha-quille Jinks (Moeller), JakeFishburn (Elder), andAnto-nio Booker round out thesecondary. Nick Gramke(Elder), Alex Taylor (El-der), Ben Flamm (DeerPark), Nate Dorsey, and EliAnglim(Anderson)give theSaints a deep linebackergroup. Jay Volker (Elder)returns to lead the defen-sive line after missing the2011 season with a knee in-jury. Tyler Combs (High-lands), Chris Bouman(Bishop Brossart), and Ty-ler Calhoun (Bethel-Tate)join Volker up front.

The Saints will rely onseniors Bell, Doucette,Naltner, Hoop, Eads andStuder on offense; Volker,Gramke, Autenrieb, An-glimandBookerondefenseto lead the team beyond thesecond round of the play-offs.

A publication of

Time for sense in the gun debateA Sikh temple in Wisconsin, a

crowdedmovie theater in Colo-rado, a school in the same state,an Amish community in Penn-sylvania, Virginia Tech and thelist goes on.

Each time we hear the NRAshout down the voice of reasonand common sense in support ofan agenda that allows free accessto assault weapons and shotgunsdesigned to down helicopters. Ifor one am tired of this nonsense.If you want to interpret the con-stitution, written in the 18th cen-tury, to mean that every lunaticwho wants to make a point canown weapons our Founding Fa-thers could not even dram of,fine. Count me out.

I think they were good, honestmen who wanted to protect ourfreedoms, and were in favor ofan armed people’s militia, whichis essentially our NationalGuard.

If you serve our country as amember of the National Guard,and are trained to use guns, Isay you can have one, just like

the framers ofthe Constitu-tion intended.If you are apsychotic per-son never ex-posed to anygun training,you should notbe allowed tobuy a gun.Period. Who intheir right

mind could possibly disagreewith that statement? The NRAfor one, and of course, the sickpeople who get their jollies bykilling us. Which kind of putsthem in same camp, wouldn’tyou think?

I have heard the argumentsthat people need guns to protectthemselves. Really? When wasthe last time someone burst intoa home in your part of leafysuburbia and threatened yourfamily?

When guns are involved whatpercentage ends with the vic-tim’s death? Howmany times

have guns accidentally killedchildren while waiting for thestatistically impossible chanceto “defend” them?

Our governor recently signedinto law a piece of legislationallowing concealed carry inbars. One person has defendedthis by saying “If someonecomes into a bar and holds it upI want a chance to defend my-self.”

Firstly, when was the lasttime you were in a bar that washeld up? Secondly, I do not wantto be in a bar when some personwho has been drinking decidesto “defend” himself or the bar,and starts letting lead fly. Takethe money. No one’s life is worthas little as gold.

It always strikes me as ironicthat many of the same peoplethat defend the NRA and gunrights are the same ones whodefend the unborn against abor-tion, and define themselves asconservative Christians. Youcan’t reconcile your right to owna gun with the purpose of killing

someone with “Thou shalt notkill.”The bible does not say“Thou shalt not kill (except inthe case of self-defense, homeinvasion and standing yourground).” I doubt Jesus wouldhave killed to get his messageacross.

So let’s stop the madness.There are many ways to recon-cile the Constitution with reality.Serve your country and gain theright to bear arms for protection

of yourself or the Constitution.If people want to hunt, let thembuy the appropriate weapons forthat after a course and a back-ground check. Let’s act now. Thenext victim of this insanitymight well be you or your some-one you love, because right now,no one is safe, as events haveshown in vivid red.

BruceHealeyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Last week’s questionWhat county and city services

does it make sense to merge tosave money?

“I think itwouldmakesense tomerge the police and fire ser-vices. This could easily be donefor Madeira and Indian Hill dueto the adjacency.

“Although Madeira pays ahigher tax rate in terms of per-centage of income, Indian Hilltraditionally has more valuableassets to protect andmore prom-inent citizens. Therefore, itwould make sense to locate themain stations for these servicesin IndianHill, althoughwith fair-ly quick access to Madeira.”

I.P.

“I would probably recom-mend the highway maintenancedivisions and theparksdivisions.Both Hamilton County and cityof Cincinnati are experiencingeconomic struggling.

“It does notmake any sense tome to have an ODOT, HamiltonCounty engineer, or Cincinnatihighway maintenance plowingBeechmont Avenue during snowstorms and stopping at corpora-

tion boundaries leaving the restof the road untouched until theother division catches up or con-tinues, nor does it make anysense tohave twodifferent parksdivisions take care of one park,ie., Armleder Park off WoosterPike.

“Another merger would letAnderson Township provide cov-erage forMt.Washington for fireandmedical, and the sheriff's of-fice cover for police protection.”

O.H.R.

“None! As far as I can tell,merging would give the city ofCincinnati moremoney to waste.If everyonewants to savemoneyI would suggest coordinating therepairs.

For example, in Fairfax andMariemont the streets were tornup THREE times, once for sew-ers, once for water, once for gas,and repaved each time, not tomention the traffic problems,and all this within a period of ayear. There seems to me no re-gard for cost-saving proceduresor timedeadlines. It doesn't showme any reason to have to cooper-ate with Cincinnati.

“To have to tap into Cincinnatiwater and sewerwould be unrea-sonably expensive for those of uswhoenjoyIndianHillwaterandaveryefficientvillage. If this evercomes up for a vote, mine will beNO!”

J.K.

“What county and city ser-vices does it make sense tomerge to savemoney? I'm tryinghard to think of what ‘services’ Ireceive fromeither the countyorthe city (being a resident of An-derson Twp., outside of the Cin-cinnati city limits).

“There is the fire department,the sheriff, and the city police(though I believe Cincinnati po-lice jurisdiction ends at the citylimits). I don't really think its fea-

sible to merge the city policewith the Hamilton county sher-iff's department.

“However, thismademe thinkabout some construction workthat has been authorized by thetownship and has been going onfor over a month. It involves re-placing the curbs on our streets,and in some cases, areas of side-walk.

“There are positive aspects ofthis, including the fact that theproject provides work for theconstruction company, and insomeways, theresulthasbeenanimprovement. But I honestlycan't say that if it were left up tome as to whether this work wasdone or not that I would havedone it. And the township couldhave saved a whole bunch ofmoney.”

Bill B.

“It should save money tomerge county/city garbage pick-up and snow removal.”

E.E.C.

“Sorry, I think the question ispremature. I would be more in-clined to give an opinion if I hadsome idea what is being consid-

ered formerger,what the dollarsare, andwhat the potential down-side is for each merger beingconsidered.”

F.N.

“Themayor's court abuses re-cently brought to light identifiesone area that could be improvedby consolidation. But the locallycontrolled governments of smallcommunities are exactly whatappeals to many of its residents.Cincinnati politics seem like anexpensive circus that putsstrangers in charge of our lives.”

R.V.

“This is a very important andtimely subject. I am sure muchcould be done in consolidatingsome city and county services.As a matter of fact some fewyears ago there was a programcalledAgenda360 that did a lot ofresearch on this very subject onconsolidating activities of cityand county. I think a committeeshould be formed consisting ofsome people fromboth areas andfirst see what became of the 360data and then do additional stud-ies.”

NEXT QUESTIONAre you concerned about therising West Nile virus exposuresthis year? Are you taking pre-cautions?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Send youranswers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line.

Who are the "New Repub-licans"?

OH…COMEON…the hypoc-risy of it all! Who are you guystrying to kid. Your wives walkthree steps behind you; and, youwould repeal Title 9 in a heart-beat, along with Rowe V. Wade,the 19th Amendment, and a hostof other laws.

Republican Missouri Rep.Todd Akin is the poster boy forthe "New Republicans.” He hon-estly believes everything hesaid. He also believes "NOABORTIONUNDER ANY CIR-CUMSTANCES" should be thelaw of the land.

He owes no apology for hisbeliefs; after all, his mom anddad, neighbors, and the goodchurch folks of Missouri taughthim to believe these things. It islike being brought up in a "Klan"family; how could you not be-lieve in white supremacy?

So…he said just one stupid

little thing, andyou guys wantto toss himunder the bus,as though youdid not com-pletely agreewith him. Theonly reason youwish to be ridof him is thatyou are embar-rassed. He has

exposed you for exactly whatyou are.

The "New Republicans" areboth controlling and manip-ulative. They wish to controlevery facet of women’s lives (nocontraceptives, no abortion evento save their lives, no PlannedParenthood, and no equal rights).All the time they are quoting theFounding Fathers to attempt ajustification for their positions.Why not quote the Bible? Ofcourse, that would be too obvi-

ous.Akin recently stated, on his

website, “This race will not beeasy, but thanks to your support,my strong conservative recordwill provide Missouri voterswith a clear choice and thechance to set Missouri andAmerica back on the rightcourse.”

Who are these "New Repub-licans"? There is nothing morelow-class than ripping off poorpeople; yet, the ‘New Repub-licans’ are running this Josh kid,for senator, who I am told istaking money from payday lend-ers. Did I also hear these moneylenders gave him a trip to theBahamas? I certainly hope youwill correct me if I am wrong!

Who are these "New Repub-licans"? Didn’t they just ask PaulRyan to be Mitt Romney’s VP;and didn’t Rep. Ryan co-sponsora similar ultra-conservative,anti-abortion bill in conjunction

with Rep. Akin?It would seem that if the

"New Republicans" want tothrow Akin under the bus Ryanshould be there with him. Theycould do something useful andgrease the chassis while they arethere.

Do you want these guys ‘noo-dling’ in your private lives? Myimpression was that the "NewRepublicans" believed in keepinggovernment away from yourlife, most especially when youmay need help with expensivemedical issues.

It is highly insulting to keeptelling us old people that we willnot be affected by any changesin the law. Do you really believethat we are not going to vote forwhat is in the best interest of thegrandchildren? Wemost certain-ly are!

There’s one kind ofrecipe I can never getenough of: appetizers. I’llbet you’re in that predica-ment sometimes too, so

today I’msharingsome favor-ite appetiz-er recipes.

Andremember,we eat withour eyes aswell as ourtummies, sogarnishinga dish, even

simply, is worth the trou-ble.

Try edible flowers,herbs or just a few parsleysprigs. Your food will lookas good as it tastes. (Checkout my website, aboutea-ting.com, or my blog,Cooking with Rita, forvideos and photos of edibleflowers and herbs and howto use them).

And here’s a tip forthose zucchini that seem toknow no bounds. Everyyear there’s a couple thatgrow to the size of ball batsseemingly overnight. I’llcut them, scoop out seedsif necessary and gratethem. Nice to have in win-ter for soups, breads andmuffins.

Rita’s Hall of Famehoney-roastedalmonds

Almonds, like all nuts,contain fiber and protein,plus a good amount ofcalcium. This is mymostpopular roasted nut recipe.Don’t forget to toast thenuts first; otherwise thecoating won’t adhere well.These make a great giftfrom the kitchen and anice snack to tote on trips.

2 cups whole almonds withskin, toasted

¼ cup sugar½ teaspoon salt2 tablespoons each: honeyand water

2 teaspoons canola oil

Mix sugar and salt inlarge bowl and set aside.Stir together honey, waterand oil in pan and bring toa boil. Immediately stir innuts and continue to cookand stir until liquid is ab-sorbed, about 5 minutes.Immediately transfer nuts

to bowl with sugar/saltmixture and toss untilevenly coated. Pour outonto sprayed cookie sheet.When cool, break up andstore airtight at roomtemperature up to a month.

To toast nuts: Pour insingle layer on cookiesheet. Roast at 350 degreesuntil fragrant, about 10-15minutes. Stir from outsideedge into center a coupleof times.

Healthier goatcheese dip withherbs

6 oz. goat cheese, low fat ifpossible

1 tablespoon plain Greekyogurt

Up to 1 tablespoon olive oil1⁄3 cup parsley2 teaspoons each: choppedmint and thyme

Salt and freshly groundpepper to taste

Celery stalks or other rawveggies for dipping

Put cheese, yogurt andolive oil in food processoruntil smooth. Stir in herbsand seasonings. Chill atleast 1 hour before serving.

Health tip from Rita:Stalks of health

Celery contains vitaminC, calcium and potassium,which means it’s good forthe heart. Celery helpsprevent cancer and highblood pressure. The leaves

have evenmore nutrientsthan the ribs, so leavethem on!

Chile con quesoAwesome with multi-

colored tortilla chips.

1 cup grated extra sharpcheddar

½ cup Velveeta, cut intopieces

½ cup whipping cream

2 tablespoons choppedyellow onion

2 tablespoons diced tomato1 jalapeño, stemmed,seeded and diced

Tortilla chips

Put cheddar and Vel-veeta into a non-stick pot

or double boiler over lowheat and heat until cheesemixture is nearly melted.Add cream and whiskconstantly until hot andsmooth. Pour into servingdish and sprinkle withonions, tomatoes and jal-apenos.

Bacon-wrappeddates stuffed withblue cheese

I made these for a dia-betic cooking class. Thestudents wanted a sophisti-cated yet easy appetizerand these were a winner.Even if you aren’t watch-ing carbs you’ll like these.You can use turkey bacon,as well.

12 pieces of bacon36 pitted dates1 cup crumbled blue cheese

Cut bacon into thirdsand fry until partiallycooked but not crisp. Youwant to be able to wrapthem around the dates.Drain and keep warm. Cuta slit in center of date andfill with cheese. Wrapbacon around and securewith toothpick. Bake at 375degrees until bacon iscrisp, about 10-12 minutes.

RitaHeikenfeldRITA’S KITCHEN

These honey-roasted almonds are Rita's most popularroasted nut recipe. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD.

CLARIFYING –PRESERVINGROASTEDTOMATOESI like to freeze mine

and sometimes I’ll chopthem up after removingskins and sometimes I’llleave them in halves. Ifyou want to leave theskins on them, I suggestchopping the tomatoesup before freezing. I justput a batch through myfood processor and theylook good. Remember,though, skins can betough.Also if you like, when

roasting them cut side up,sprinkle on some herbs aswell as olive oil, likeminced thyme, garlic,basil or even dried Italianseasoning for anotherlayer of flavor. You canalso season them withsalt and pepper.

Protect yourself when movinghave the glass wrapped forthe top of her furnitureand it didn’t arrive. So, wepaid extra over and abovefor that and three of thefive pieces aren’t here…it’s lost. They don’t knowwhere it is,” Quinn said.

A spokesman for GreatAmerican Van Lines saysthey’re still looking for allthe items, adding this hasnever happened before.Quinn values the lost itemsat about $5,000, but GreatAmerican Van Lines saysit’s only prepared to payher 60 cents per pound.

The company spokes-man says Quinn didn’twant full replacementvalue insurance and signedpapers to that effect.Quinn says she never wasgiven that option and nev-er turned down full cov-erage.

As a result, Quinn isfiling a complaint withfederal regulators fromthe United States Depart-ment of Transportation’sFederal Motor CarrierSafety Administration.

Under the law, “Unlessa shipper waives full valueinsurance in writing, acarrier’s maximum liabil-ity for household goodsthat are lost, damaged,destroyed or otherwise notdelivered to the final desti-nation is equal to the re-placement value of suchgoods.”

New legislation signedinto law gives the govern-ment more authority overinterstate moving compa-nies. This comes as thegovernment shut down 75moving companies lastyear. But problems withmoving companies con-tinue, so you need to be-ware.

Vicki Quinn needed tomove her mother fromFlorida to Colerain Town-ship and searched theInternet for moving com-panies. She and her sistercalled several companies.They picked one thatwasn’t exactly the cheap-est, or the most expensive.“They seemed to be veryprofessional, and that’skind of how we decided on

them,” Quinn said.They picked Great

American Van Lines out ofFort Lauderdale, Fla.“They were very helpful.The mover was incredible.

He came,wrappedmom’sthings. Hetaped themand seemedto takegreat pridein how heloaded thetruck,”Quinn said.

The costof the move was estimatedto be $1,615, but after themoving truck arrived atthe new home the billjumped to $2,370. Although

packing costs had nowbeen added, Quinn saysshe didn’t fully understandhow the bill got that high.She says the movers didn’texplain it and wouldn’tunload the truck until theywere paid in cash upfront.“They absolutely refused.They said, ‘We’re drivingout of here. We’ll go instorage and you’ll payagain for us to re-deliver’,”she said.

Quinn ended up payingin full and says she wasshocked at what she foundwhen they unloaded thetruck. There were morethan 20 itemsmissing.“Pots and pans, some ofher dishes and chairs weremissing. The ironic thing iswe paid like $76 a piece to

leadership, more compa-niesandmorepeople – forraising resources towardachieving the Bold Goals.In addition to financialsupport, companies arebeing asked to join the re-gion’s community organi-zations in endorsing theBold Goals.

More leadership in-cludes not only increasesin the number of peopleand sizes of gifts in theTocqueville ($10,000+)and Cincinnatus ($5,000-$9,999) affinity groups,but also tapping into theleadership of CEOs andother executives to ener-gize their employee cam-paigns.

INDIAN HILL — JoshMotley and 11 others fromhisscout troopwereona10-day, 50-mile backpackingtrip when early in themorning of the 10th day, abear entered the camp andattacked one of the boys inhis tent.

When the bear enteredthecampnoone in thecrewwas yet awake. As the bearbegan biting the boythrough his tent, Motleyand others in the adjacenttents woke to the noise.

While the bear had theboy’s head in its mouth,Motley and others rushedthe bear to scare it away.

Prior to the trip, Motleyand another scout had re-ceived 20 hours of RedCross wilderness first aidand CPR training to be pre-pared as the troop medicsduring the Philmont trip.

After thebear left, it lin-gered in the area and en-tered their campsite twomore times before the in-juredboycouldbeevacuat-ed.

During this time, Mot-ley and fellow medic ad-ministered first aid to theinjured boy and then, Mot-ley and three others evacu-ated the injured scout, car-rying him in a litter.

The injured boy scouthas fully recovered.

Motley, a recently grad-uated Cincinnati CountryDaySchool senior, recently

received the HeroismAward issued by the Na-tionalCourt ofHonorof theBoy Scouts of America forhis actions responding toan incident in 2010 at Phil-mont Scout Ranch near Ci-marron, N.M.

The Heroism Award isawarded by the Boy Scoutsof America National Coun-

This medal was firstawarded in 1923, and in thepast 88 years 3,351 Hero-

ismAwards have been pre-sented.

This medal was award-ed to Motley in 2011 andpresentedonApril 29, 2012,byTomDugger, scoutexec-utive, Dan Beard Councilof the Boy Scouts of Amer-ica at a National Court of

Honor. On the same occa-sion, three other scouts andMotley’s father also re-ceived Boy Scout NationalCourt ofHonor recognitionfor their actions in respon-ding to the same incident.

In the same ceremony,Motley and two other

scouts also received theirEagle Scout Awards. Lastyear, 51,473 Eagles wereawarded. Only about 5 per-centofallBoyScoutsattainthe rank of Eagle.
