St. Vincent Ferrer School in Kenwood used the support of its community to win $30,000 for a cafeteria and kitchen renovation. Just 10 days before the Un- cle Ben’s Beginner’s Rice Contest deadline, students and parents took a shot at winning for the school. A child and their parent had to submit to Uncle Ben’s a video of themselves making their own rice dish, hoping that one would get enough votes to win $30,000 for the school and $15,000 for them and their family. Before voting for individ- ual videos ended on Oct. 27, the school found out that it had won its own prize of $30,000 for having the most videos submitted in their school’s size category – 55 students and their parents submitted a video, which is more than 30 percent of the student population at St. Vin- cent Ferrer, said Amy Fisch- er, parent and chairwoman of the school’s marketing com- mittee. Lisa Samson, president of the Parent-Teacher Organi- zation at the school who pushed for students to enter the contest, said that both parents and kids were excit- ed about the contest and, ulti- mately, winning a prize. “They were super thrilled that their effort paid off in a big way,” she said. “... It’s in- credible, not just from a fi- nancial standpoint, but also from the school spirit and community coming togeth- er.” As part of winning a prize in the contest, the school was recently featured on the Ra- chael Ray Show. Samson was flown to New York City as well to be on the show. Samson said the school is planning on creating a com- mittee of people that repre- sent the various groups and events that use the kitchen in the cafeteria, such as the church, men’s group, festival and annual spaghetti dinner. The committee, which she said they hope to form in the next month, will discuss changes that would best serve everyone. Samson said that to go along with the idea of school spirit, or Hornet Pride, as they call it, a mural for the walls are in the talks for changes being made to the cafeteria. The kitchen will also be im- portant to the students. Right now, Samson said, Sycamore schools provides lunch to St. Vincent Ferrer students, but no cooking is done on-site. Remodels could make food fresher for students. She added that although the school has a recycling program and values helping the environment, students eat their lunch off Styrofoam plates because the dishwash- er no longer works. Samson said a student pointed out that a dishwasher would be an important im- provement to eat off reusable trays and with silverware. “Our school recycles, and there’s a push to take care of the environment, then stu- dents go down to the cafete- ria and use a lot of Styro- foam,” she said. “It sends the wrong message, and we want to look at that.” Although St. Vincent Fer- rer won the school participa- tion prize, an individual stu- dent and their parent could still win that prize as well, which could mean another $30,000 to the school. Even if no one wins indi- vidually, Samson said the community support and school spirit that came out of the contest is incredible. “We had a very limited amount of time to pull every- thing together, and the fact that we got a third of the stu- dent body together showed even more what our school and community spirit is like,” she said.

Those breaks, Ledger-wood believed, are exact-ly why Indian Hill policeand prosecutors refusedto back down over a $95speeding ticket issuedFeb. 6, 2012.

Ledgerwood, now 30,was driving on Ohio 126,known as RemingtonRoad in Indian Hill, whenpolice clocked him driv-ing 54 miles per hour, 19milesover thespeed limit.

When pulled over, Led-gerwood asked police tocite him for somethingless than speeding so it

wouldn’t negatively im-pact his drivers license.

When Indian Hill po-lice discovered he’d beencaught speeding seventimes in other HamiltonCounty jurisdictionssince 2004 – and many ofthe chargeshadbeen less-ened – they cited him forgoing 19 miles per hourover the limit.

Indian Hill officialsdismissed the ticket afterLedgerwoodwent tomay-or’s court, but later rein-stated it.

Ledgerwood contend-ed IndianHill violated hisright to a speedy trial, anda judge twice threw theticket out, saying IndianHill improperly acted in

the case by dismissingand then reissuing theticket.

The casewent to an ap-peals court, which ruledIndian Hill didn’t violatehis right to a speedy trial,and then to Ohio’s Su-preme Court, which re-fused Oct. 23 to hear thecase.

In June, Indian Hill of-ficials said it had spent“30 to 40 hours” on thecase, but that was beforethe case went to the OhioSupreme Court and be-fore the Nov. 4 trial.

Indian Hill pays a pri-vate law firm $4,000 permonth to serve as its pros-ecutor.

NOVEMBER 20, 2013 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • A3NEWS

Voters have elected anew board member forthe IndianHillExemptedVillage School DistrictBoard of Education.

Two incumbents werealso elected. Four candi-dates ran for three seatson the board.

Eddie Hooker was thetopvote-getterwith1,508votes followed by incum-bents Elizabeth Johnston(1,372 votes) and KimMartin Lewis (1,221).

IncumbentKarlGrafewas not re-elected afterfinishing fourth with1,159 votes.

Hooker said, “What Iwashearing (was thevot-ers) had concerns re-garding the CommonCore, and they also ex-pressed frustration thatnegotiations (with the In-dianHillEducationAsso-ciation) were going ontoo long.”

Hooker, who is ateacher of medicine atXavier University andwho also helped set up anemergency responseplan for the Indian Hillschools about a decadeago, expressed concernsabout state-mandatedCommonCorestandards.

TheIndianHillEduca-tion Association, towhich Hooker referred,is a union representingteachers in the district.Negotiations with theunion have been ongoingsince April, but a con-tract has not yet been fi-nalized.

“I want to make sure

wemeet thestate man-date onCommonCore with-out damag-ing our finecurricu-lum,” saidHooker.

Hookersaid maintaining districtfacilities will also be im-portant. School boardmembers recently con-ducted a special meetingto discuss capital im-provement projects for2014.

“The theater has up-dates thatneedtobedoneimmediately,” he said,referring to electricaland heating systems.

Johnston, who hasserved on the board foreight years, said voterturnout may have had animpact.

“Voting was extreme-ly light, and (Hooker) dida fantastic job with hismarketing,” she said.

Slightly more thanone-fourth of the regis-tered voters in the dis-trict voted Nov. 5, with26.5 percent casting bal-lots.

“I don’t think it was alack of confidence (in theboard),” she said, refer-ring toelectionresults. “Ithink it was a matter ofwho turned out, voterrecognition and the factthe incumbents didn’t doa lot of marketing.”

Johnston said a focusof hers will be installa-tion of a central plant,which will consist of aboiler and chiller, at the

high school and middleschool campus. Installa-tion of the central plant,whichhasbeenapprovedby the school board, willhelp reduce energycosts.

She said energy con-servation and greenawareness remain a pri-ority for her.

Lewis, who has servedon the school board since2010and iscurrentlyvicepresident of the board,was unable to be reachedfor comment. Lewis,though, had previouslysaid “mentoring relation-ships” between studentsand teachers and stu-dents and administratorsis something she consid-ers vital.

In commenting onCommonCorestandards,Lewis had said while im-plementing the new cur-riculum the districtshould continue to focuson Advanced Placementcourses, the arts andsports.

Grafe, who is current-ly president of the board,declined to commentwhen contacted by theCommunity Press.

The results are not of-ficial until certified bythe Hamilton CountyBoard of Elections laterthis month.

SycamoreTownship isupgrading its crosswalksignals to match statestandards and makesome intersections saferfor pedestrians.

Greg Bickford, plan-ning and zoning director/acting administrator,said the township isgoingto pay to replace the cur-rent crosswalk signs thatHamilton County ownsand install signals thatcount down the secondsuntil the traffic signalturns green for the streetthe crosswalk is across.

There are 48 crossingsigns that will be re-placed, Bickford said,and the township wouldpay about $102 per unit.He added that the countyagreed to install them ifthe township buys thesignals.

He added that thecount-down signals areup to the Ohio Depart-ment of Transportation’s

safetystandards,butsur-pass those of the county.

Bickford said thechange will make the in-tersection at Montgome-ry and Kenwood roadsless dangerous, becausepedestrians will knowhow long they have tocross the wide lanes andhigh traffic levels onthose roads.

He added that the in-

tersection could get avideo camera there aswell, which would allowpolice and the townshipto see a problem and pos-sibly change the trafficsignals’ timing to allevi-ate it.

Indian Hill cross coun-try students have wonsome new fans. And itwasn’t during a competi-tion.

Each year the studentscollect and then deliverschool supplies and other

items to Pierce Elemen-tary School in Fort Knox,Ky.

For sevenyears, chem-istry teacher and crosscountry coach Susan Sav-age has coordinated thecharity drive.

“These children haveparents who are de-ployed,” said Savage.

“It’s giving back. Thatis the goal.”

Savage said shewas in-formed of the need forsupplies by a friend whoteaches at the school.

Donation boxes wereset up at the start of theschool year. Savage saidabout 20 boxes are deliv-ered to Pierce Elemen-

tary each year.For the cross country

students it’s more thanjust collecting suppliesfor a cause.

“You’re there with thekids and getting to knowthem,” said freshmanPat-rick Giroux, of Madeira.

The items are given tostudents in preschoolthrough the third grade.Savage said the IndianHill students spend timewith a specific grade eachvisit.

“It’s a fun experience,”said senior Connie Yin, ofKenwood. “You spend thewhole day with these kidswho are adorable.”

Senior Joe Majchszak,of IndianHill, said the ex-perience is also a goodway to bond with team-mates during the trip.

Savage said proceedsraised from bake sales gotoward paying for the busused for the trip, which ismadeduring the students’fall break.

Practice opened in late October forgirls basketball teams in the NortheastSuburban Life coverage area. The fol-lowing is a rundown of the high schoolsquads waiting to open their season.

Cincinnati Hills ChristianAcademy

» The Eagles posted an 8-14 recordlast year, including a 5-8mark in theMi-ami Valley Conference.

Former NBA player Ronnie Grandi-son returns for his second stint as headcoach with what he said should be amuch-improved team.

Returning is senior shooting guard/small forward Marissa Koob, who ledthe team in scoring and rebounding as ajunior. She committed to play collegebasketball at the University of Charles-ton next season.

Also back are junior Paige DisagieandSamanthaRoss,who iscomingbackfrom injuries her sophomore year. Ju-nior Naomi Grandison, the coach’sdaughter, transferred to CHCA fromtheLakotadistrict toplayforherfather.Sophomore Kat Williams returns forher second season at the point.

“We’re athletic,” coach Grandisonsaid. “I would say we’re going to get upanddown the floor, playup tempo, try topush the ball. We’ll be a little bit of ev-erything (ondefense).We’re going to gohard.”

Which they’ll have to do if they wantto improve their fourth-place finish inthe MVC a year ago.

“From what I saw last year, Summitis the one that always comes up with agood team and North College Hill al-ways has good athletes,” Grandisonsaid. “I think we’ll fare pretty well,though.”

CHCAopens at homeNov. 22 againstLittle Miami before traveling to faceMonroe Nov. 26.

Sycamore»Derek Christerson takes over for

long-time coach Paula Hayden whostepped down after last season. The La-dy Aves were 13-11 (8-6 Greater MiamiConference) in 2013.

Players to watch for Sycamore aresenior forwardsKierraHammandErinGlass, juniorguardsNancieHunterandLauren Saxon and sophomore guardGrace Louis.

Only Hunter is a returning starter.She’s also the only returning varsityplayer.

“We will defend well and be prettyathletic,” Christerson said. “I’m notsurewherewill get our points from thisyear with such an inexperienced team.That will be our biggest obstacle earlyon.”

The Lady Aves open with UrsulineAcademy at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23.

“What I like most about our team isthe togetherness they are developing,”Christerson said.

Ursuline Academy» The Lions went 20-5 last season on

the way to a Girls Greater CatholicLeague championship. Third-year headcoachKeithStarks– the formerUniver-sity of Cincinnati star – graduated fiveseniors from that team, including twostarters.

Senior SarahReilly –who committedto play next season at the U.S. NavalAcademy – returns for her third seasonas a starting forward. Also back are ju-nior guards Aly Schirmer and MeganOglivee. Senior forward ChristieMiller

is back after missing her junior seasonwith an ACL injury.

“After that, we’re pretty inexperi-enced,” Starks said. “We have twofreshmenwho are going to play varsity.It’s going to be a process. We should begoodby theendof theseason,but it’sgo-ing to take some time.”

Look for the Lions to play a lot ofman-to-man defense and press in an ef-fort to elevate the tempo of the game.

“With an inexperienced team, youwant to give them a chance to get someeasy baskets in transition,” Starks said.

While Ursuline is the defending

league champ, Starks saidMountNotreDame should be the team to beat in theGGCL. The Cougars return five start-ers, as well as former state championcoach Scott Rogers. McAuley, with apair of Division I college prospects atguard, should also challenge for the ti-tle.

Ursuline opens the season Nov. 23 atCincinnati State facing Sycamore.

Cincinnati Country Day» The Indians went 17-6 last season

and finished second behind SummitCountry Day in the Miami Valley Con-ference.

Head coach John Snell graduatedtwo players from that team and returnsthree seniors.

Back are twin sister guards, Sydneyand Shelley Menifee. Sydney was theteam’s second-leading scorer last year;Snell said both sister need to up theirscoring output this season for the Indi-ans to be successful.

Also back – and also needed for addi-tional scoring – are sophomore MissyDieckman-Meyer and senior KatMates, both post players in their secondseasons with the team.

“A lot of the younger kids are step-pingup, pushing for a starting spot or toget playing time,” Snell said. “They’remaking progress.”

As for style of play, “I thinkwe’re go-ingtohavetobeanup-and-downteamtogive our offense a chance to score,”Snell said.

“Defensively,we’ll press to force theup-and-down. I think we’ve got the ath-letes to get up and down the floor withanyone. I just don’t know how well wewill put the ball in the basket.”

Snell gave Summit the edge in theMVCrace, but thinks his teamwill be inthe title hunt, too.

CCD opens the season on the roadNov. 25 at Finneytown and doesn’t playagain until a week later when it hostsMariemont Dec. 2.

Mount Notre Dame»Dr. Scott Rogers returns to coach

Mount Notre Dame after a couple ofseasons on hiatus.

Between 2001 and 2007, Rogers wontwo sectional titles, one state runner-upand twoDivision I state championships.Stepping aside to assist in 2007, MNDwent on tomake it three of four state ti-tles.

From 2008 into the 2010-11 season,Rogers coached at Indian Hill.

He inherits a team that was14-11 lastseason and 6-4 in the GGCL-Scarlet Di-vision (now the Girls Greater CatholicLeague).

Top returners for theCougars are ju-nior Naomi Davenport and sophomoreAbbie Scholz who were first team all-league.JuniorBlairCarlinmadesecondteam for MND.

Rogers will also be counting on sen-ior Sara Voss and juniors Maddy SouthandDaniKissel. South andKissell werein last year’s starting lineup along withDavenport and Carlin.

Round out the MND varsity are sen-iors Libby Hoctor and Kristi Duncan,juniors Mary Lavelle and Nicole Craceand sophomores Celina King and Abby

MASON — CincinnatiHills Christian Academywona lot of thekeybattles- first downs (16-10), pass-ing yards (224-167) and to-tal offense (314-276) - butlost thewar.

The Eagles’ quest for aperfect football seasonended in the Division Vfootball regional semifi-nalsNov.16whenthey lost31-17 toHamilton Badin.

CHCA finishes the sea-son 11-1, while Badin im-proved to 10-2 and ad-vanced to face West Jef-ferson in the regional fi-nals Nov. 23.

“They played so toughand physical,” said CHCAhead coach Eric Taylor ofthe Rams. “They did a

great job of capitalizingon every mistake wemade. They earned thewin.”

Badinstartedcapitaliz-ingearly.Facing thirdandlongonthethirdplayfromscrimmage, Rams quar-terback Zach Larkin hitCole Heflin with an 84-yard touchdown pass anda 7-0 lead less than 90 sec-onds into the game.

It was the first timeCHCA trailed all seasonand the Eagles never tooka lead.

They did force a tie at14-14.

After Larkin hit Do-minicValentino fromfouryardsout in thesecondpe-riod, CHCA senior quar-terback Conner OsbornefoundMichael Lantz from12 yards late in the first

half and Adam Bakerfrom 34 on the first driveof the second, but Badinscored 10 unansweredpoints in the third period.

“Theywere battle-test-ed,” Taylor said. “They’vebeendownbeforeandthatstuff shows in a game likethis.

“Once we started get-ting momentum and mak-ingafewplays, theyfounda way to answer and getthemomentum back.”

It started with TylerWilliams’ 36-yard fieldgoal to break the tie andCody Boxrucker’s one-yard touchdown run tomake it 24-14.

Alex Bertrams an-swered with a 36-yardfield goal for the Eagleswith 10 minutes to play,but that was all the closer

CHCAgot.TheEagles threwan in-

terception and fumbled apunt return to set up He-flin’s 24-yard TD run with4:17 to play to close thescoring.

While disappointedwith the result, Taylorsaiditwasaspecialseasonfor a special senior class.

“To go 10-0, 11-0 is anamazing accomplish-ment,” he said. “(Our sen-iors)made the playoffs allfour years. I startedteaching a lot of thoseguys when they were inseventh grade, so it’s beenvery closewith them for along time.

“That’s another reasonthis hurts. You hate to seethem go after all they ac-complished and all theydid for this program.”

CHCA’s quest comes up short

with126 yards on 21 totes.“Gus is the heart and

soul of the offense,” Ro-denberg said. “Wedependon him tomake good deci-sions.”

The icing on this GCL-South cake came whenWill Mercurio picked offhis second pass of thegame and rolled for a 58-yard touchdown in frontof the Moeller studentsection.

“We’ve been playingpass coverage a lot betterlately and I thought thekids did a nice job,” Ro-denberg said.

In all, theCrusaders in-

CINCINNATI — Just asthey did in their run to thestate title last year,Moell-er will have to get by Col-erain to continue north.

The Crusaders handedElder their first shutoutof the yearwith a 24-0 vic-tory Nov. 16 at NippertStadium. The win putthem against Colerain forthe second-straight yearas the Cardinals defeatedPickerington Central 38-20 to earn another shot atMoeller.

Moeller/Elder Part II

was scoreless for the first12 minutes. Then, the sec-ond quarter belonged toMoeller with two scorescoming within two min-utes of each other.

At the start of the stan-za, Gus Ragland made anice ball fake andkept thepumpkin to score fromeight yards out just 27seconds into the frame. Acouple of minutes later,the Crusaders were inscoring position againthanks to a pick by OhioState-bound Sam Hub-bard.

The drive stalled, butsophomore kicker Mat-

thew Coghlin drilled a 37-yarder to put Moeller up10-0 with 9:33 left in thehalf.

For Elder, the first halfwas uneventful with toprunning threat ChrisSchroer being held to sev-en yards on three lugs.Sophomore quarterbackPeyton Ramsey wasforced to throw 23 times,completing13,butwith in-terceptions by Hubbardand senior Will Mercurio.

“Our defense playedreally well,” MoellerCoach John Rodenbergsaid. “I think they wereforced to throw the ball a

little bit more than theywanted to. That’s a greatfootball team and wecameupwithagreat shut-out. That’s tough to do.”

After a scoreless thirdquarter, Moeller seniorquarterbackGusRaglandfound the endzone again.This time, itwasbybreak-ing several tackles anddiving in after a 69-yardgallop. Ragland finishedas the game’s top rusher

tercepted Elder quarter-back Ramsey five times.Bydefault, hewas alsoEl-der’s top rusher with 43yards as senior ChrisSchroer was held to 20.

For Moeller, Raglandthrew just 15 times, com-pleting seven. Moelleroutrushed Elder 243-63.

Doing that against Col-erainwon’tbeaseasy.TheCardinals’ bread and but-ter is running the football.Last year’s contest was a24-21Moeller victory.

Moeller and Colerainface off Nov. 23 at MasonDwire Field at AtriumStadium at Mason.

Use common sense, commoncourtesy with bonfires

High school football, Hal-loween, autumn leaves andcooler temperatures bringwith it the desire by many toget outdoors, breathe the freshair, enjoy the changing season,and watching the sun go down,and yes, the desire for theoccasional bonfire.

One man’s bonfire turns intothe neighbors’ fear for theirsafety as they watch in curi-osity as the neighbor keepsadding more and more andmore wood to the fire until theglow lights up the night sky

like a RozziFireworksshow.

We all likethe cracklingfire on a coolevening as weenjoy ourbackyard firepit, fireplaceor chimenea. Itis kind of a

right of living in the suburbs.Well yes and no. Yes we canhave fires, but that rightcomes with rules, regulations,

responsibility and oh yeah…common courtesy.

The Ohio EPA and the OhioFire Code clearly list the rulesand regulations governingthese outdoor or open fires, butthey don’t govern the responsi-bility or common courtesyaspect of living in a residentialsuburban community. A weekdoes not go by where my phonedoesn’t ring with a complaintfrom a well-intentioned resi-dent who would like to havethe burning next door stoppedor controlled.

The time when we want tohave a fire out back is thesame time that our neighborwants to open their windowsand enjoy the fresh air. Nowwe have a conflict as we fillour neighbors home full ofsmoke and the odor of incom-plete combustion. Today’s newhomes also have furnaces thatrequire outside make-up airand our furnaces pull in odorsto our dismay.

Solution, go to www.lsfd.organd read the guidelines foropen burning and follow the

size of the fire, the distancefrom buildings, and what ma-terial you can burn. Then re-member to extinguish yourfire completely, and don’t let itsmolder. The smoldering phaseis the worse for creating offen-sive odors.

One last thing, please showyour neighbor some courtesy. Ifind that usually starts withgood communication.

Otto Huber is chief of the LovelandSymmes Fire Department.

I enjoy voting, and I try tobe educated on the issues.However, as soon as I got tothe polling place I was con-

fronted by awoman whowas on thepathway to thevoting place,who asked meto sign a pet-ition for a“right to work”law in Ohio.

She statedcategorically,“In Ohio,

workers are forced to join aunion or not work in someplaces.” Well, that is kind oftrue. The subtlety lies in whatshe did not tell people.

If a company becomesunionized, it is because therewas a democratic vote to see ifthe workers wanted the union.If they vote “yes,” then indeed,you must join the union towork there. This is only log-ical. If not, only the workers inthe union bear the cost of theunion, but all workers benefitfrom pay and benefit improve-ments made by the union ontheir behalf.

It would not be fair, no mat-ter what your beliefs are aboutunions, to have some workerspay to be members of theunion, but all workers benefit,whether they are members ornot. In addition, the fact thatnot all workers are membersdoes one thing only: weakensthe ability to collectively bar-gain. And that, I surmise is thereal reason behind that so-called “right to work” petition.

Let me give a parallel ex-ample: If you have joined Cost-co or Sam’s Club, you pay a fee.For that fee, prices are negoti-ated for bulk purchases, andyou reap the benefits. I for onewould be upset if Sam’s Clubturned around and said thatthey were going to let people inthe door who are not members,but expected current membersto continue to bear the cost so“everyone can shop here.”

I daresay the lady with thepetition at my voting spotwould have a harder time con-vincing the well-heeled Indian

Hill folks that she had a pet-ition we should sign “becausein Ohio shoppers are forced tojoin a club or not shop in someplaces.”

I for one am tired of thispolitical badgering in votingplaces. Once inside, I had tolisten to some dreadful borespout off his beliefs aboutvoter registration and ID lawsto some of the workers, whichI suspect is not allowed within100 feet.

I have nothing against freespeech. However, the votingplace is sacred, and it is wherewe are all equal, and all ex-press our ultimate opinions,silently. I don’t want to sign apetition, be told who is the bestcandidate or listen to yourviews on anything – I want tovote, based on what I havelearned and read. I decided myvote before I got there. So shutup and vote.

By the way, when I said tothe lady I would not sign herpetition she looked at me as if Ihad vomited on her shoes. Iwish I had argued with her,but, you see, it was a votingplace and I think these dis-cussions are not appropriate.

Nov. 13 questionSeveral major retailers and

malls will be open for holidayshopping throughout Thanksgiv-ingDay. Isthisagoodideaanddoyou plan to plan to take advan-tageof theextendedhours?Whyor why not?

“I think the extended hoursare horrible - so unfair to thestore employees who will haveno time at all with their fam-ilies, and so wrong to commer-cialize a holiday to the pointthat it disappears altogether.

“Butwe theconsumershavebrought this upon ourselves,with ourwillingness first to getup at dawn on Friday and thengo out at midnight on Thanks-giving. Next year I am surestores will be open all day.

“The only way to end this isto simply not go. I have nevershoppedon thisweekend, at all.I wish others would also spendthis time with family.

“The retailers will offer thedeals later if we just don’t re-spond to the Thanksgivingsales.”

J.R.B.

“This is a very stupid ideaand no I will not play into thegreed of corporations. What isThanksgiving but a day ofthanks when families can gettogether. Now I hear thatKrog-ers is going to be open ’til 5 p.m.to accommodate late shoppingneeds.

“Corporations are becomingless and less family orientedand the stupid people that keepplaying into their hands andshopping are just as much tofault. Why do we keep pushingsociety to the needs of greed?What is the old saying: put offtoday what you can do tomor-row.

“Wake up people, if no oneshows up on holidays to shop,I’m sure the stores will extendthe sales to the following day toentice all your shopping needs.Don’t be stupid, play it smart -all your going to do is complainabout the crowds, salespeople,andthatyoucouldnotfindwhatyou wanted anyway.”

D.J.

“No, I and the rest of the ex-tended family (friends) will bedozing, shooting pool, and gen-erally grousing about toomuchturkey.This iswhatThanksgiv-ing is all about.

“If any ofmy guests were toleave early to shop they wouldnot be invited next year. This isthe one holiday that no matterwhat your beliefs, politics, or

any other hang-ups they do notmatter. It is an occasion forthose of us fortunate enough tohave the means to put togetherthis repast to be thankful.

“My sincere hope is that noone shows up at those stores. Ifdinner and discussions withloved onesmean so little to youthink about giving that timeaway from the table to helpserve the many less fortunate.That would be a true celebra-tion of all you have, to givesomething to others.”

J.Z.

“Theextendedhoursmaybea good idea for the stores, but Inever do any shopping for theholidays till long after Thanks-giving, and especially not onBlack Friday.

“The over-commercialismof Christmas and fighting oversilly bargains completely de-feats themessage of the seasonfor Christians who should begiving to the poor and less for-tunate”

TRog

“As onewho appreciates thehistoric and the present-daymeaningofThanksgivingDayIamtroubledby the commercialintrusions thathavesodistract-ed our nation from what hasbeenhandeddowntousasasol-emn duty.

“Our finest presidents, in-cluding George Washingtonand Abraham Lincoln, saw theneed for America to acknowl-edge the benevolent interven-tionofalmightyGod into theaf-fairs of our nation, most nota-bly in times of dire need.

“To refocus our minds fromgiving thanks to something astrivial as shopping ‘til we drop -when we have dozens of otherdays suitable for that purpose -should cause the entire nationto rethink our priorities. Thereis no better opportunity to dothat than Thursday, Nov. 28.”

R.V.

“I think it is a silly idea but ithas no bearing onmyself ormyfamily. Just because retailersopen their doors does notmeanI have to shop.

“Wewill not shoponThanks-giving Day, nor do I shop theday after Thanksgiving. In-stead we will do as we have al-ways done donate time servingdinner at a homeless shelterand enjoying dinner with ourfamily being thankful.”

S.K.

“Retailers are opening theirdoors Thanksgiving evening toaccommodate shoppers whowant to begin their holidayshopping. If this offends you,don’tgo to thestores, stayhome- eat leftovers, shop online inthe comfort of your home, orwait until Black Friday morn-ing to begin your shopping inthe stores.”

E.E.C.

“Seriously, can’t stores waita fewmore hours, until Friday,to start their sales? If the retail-ers feel they need extra sellingtime why don’t they just forgetabout Black Friday and starttheir big sales the Saturday be-fore Thanksgiving?

“I once had to work onThanksgiving and had left-overs for my dinner. It was asad day.

“I definitely won’t shop onThanksgiving and I’mvery dis-appointed that a couple of myfavorite stores will force theiremployees to work that day. Ihope all of the stores who areopen on Thanksgiving sufferbig loses.

“How long before they starttheir after-Christmas sales onChristmas Day? Stay out of thestores on Thanksgiving!”

M.K.T.

“If retail corporations havetobeopenonThanksgivingdayit would appear that the other364 days their profits are notwhat they should be or care toplease thosewhowish to have a7 figure income. What a shamefor them to last-ditch effort tomake a profit.

“But the real victimherearethose people who forced towork instead of being homewith their families and loveones. Forced, you bet. No workThursday, don't come inFriday.

“So all those jobs out there,ha ha, what is a individual to dobut come in against their wish-es. Overtime, holiday pay areyoukiddingme.Enoughsaid ...”

The City of BlueAsh continued itsfine tradition of

Next week, our Com-munity Press kitchenswill be buzzing withactivity, from dryingthe bread for the stuff-ing to making “musthave” traditional pump-kin desserts.

A reminder: Giveyour frozen turkeyenough time to thaw.My experience is that ittakes a lot longer tothaw than the packagestates. If it’s not thawedin time, put the wholething, wrapped, in coolwater and change thewater about every halfhour until thawed. Alsoremember those whoare alone, or can’t getout. Send a card, givethem a call or, bestidea, invite them toyour table. And no mat-ter how you spend thisholiday, remember alsothat having some placeto go is home, havingsomeone to love is fam-ily and having both is ablessing.

Rita’s do-ahead,baked candiedcranberries

Another recipe thatchanges each time Imake it. I really likethis version.

Now if you don’twant to use the liqueur,though it’s in the ovenlong enough for at least

Whenwe were kids, mom hadus kids pick throughthe berries and remove“tails” and foreign bitsof whatever that mightbe in the bag. That wasin the dark ages! Nowcranberries are so wellprocessed that all youhave to do is washthem.

B4 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • NOVEMBER 20, 2013 LIFE

Deregulation has led tolower utility rates forOhio customers, but itsalso led to a lot of confu-sion and aggravationamong some homeowners.

Some are confused bythe variety of differentrates offered, while oth-ers are aggravated at thehouse calls and phonecalls they are receiving.

Dozens of utility com-panies have entered Ohiolooking for business. Thesales tactics of some haveled people to believe theywere getting called uponby Duke Energy itself.Consumers tell me whenthey questioned why thesalesman wanted to seetheir utility bill they were

told, “Oh,it’s allright, Iwork withDuke Ener-gy.”

In fact,while Dukedoes bill onbehalf ofthese util-ity compa-

nies, the companies areactually in competitionwith Duke. Duke Energy’sSally Thelen said Duke isaware of this and consum-ers should not be pres-sured. “Some of the con-cerns have been the ag-gressive tactics. Somefolks have told us they’refeeling bullied. I would

advise customers to readthe contract,” Thelen said.

Some of the contractshave grace periods allow-ing you to switch once yousign up, while other con-tracts have a cancellationfee if you choose toswitch.

In addition to makinghouse calls, some utilitycompanies are sendingout letters offering in-centives to get you to signup. Incentives includesuch things as frequentflier miles and a $50 debitcard.

But, perhaps mostannoying for some home-owners are the phonecalls which can be in-cessant. “It got to whereevery time we’d sit downto eat it seemed like they

had a camera in the housebecause that’s when thephone would ring,” saidJoe Ann Kern.

“I’ve just had themshow up at my door sever-al times over the summeralways wanting me toswitch, but I alwaysturned them down. I don’treally understand it,”Robert Gillum said.

Well, in order to un-derstand it you have tocheck page two of yourDuke Energy bill. There,you’ll find Duke’s Price ToCompare section, whichtells you the rate Duke ischarging for electricity.Currently, it’s 6.13 centsper kilowatt hour.

Dozens of companiesoffer competing electricrates and the best way to

find them is to check theOhio Public Utilities Com-mission website for itsApples to Apples PriceComparison chart. I foundcomparable rates for aslow as 4.95 cents per kilo-watt hour. But, you needto check the terms of theoffer to see how long thecontract will last andwhether there are anycancellation charges.

Next, you can checkDuke’s price for naturalgas, which is found at thetop of page two of yourDuke bill. It says Duke’sprice is .5596 cents. Com-pare that to the PUCOComparison Chart fornatural gas prices andyou’ll find rates as low as.495 cents. But, onceagain, you need to careful-

ly check the terms of thecontract including thecontractual period andcancellation charges.

If you switch yourelectric or gas fromDukeEnergy nothing willchange with your bill – orthe connections to yourhome. Duke will still de-liver the electricity andthe gas through the samelines and the “Transporta-tion Charges” will con-tinue to show up on yourbill.

Philip Shanks, a 20-year-old patient of theBlood and Marrow Trans-plant Center at The Jew-ish Hospital – MercyHealth, received a specialvisit during his hospitalstay.

A teamof cyclists trav-eling from Washington,D.C., to Portland, OR, pre-sented Shanks with a$2,500 The 4K for CancerCollege Scholarship.

Shanks has a rare formof cancer and has to havetwo bone marrow trans-plants for a cure. He is a

student at Wright StateUniversity, located nearDayton, where he is ma-joring in communicationstudies. He hopes to at-tendgraduate school oncehe completes his under-graduate studies and is in-terested in pursuing a ca-reer as a news anchor.

“Knowing that I havethis particular scholar-ship undermy belt makesme truly feel like a cham-pion and I know that Iwon’t be as stressed aboutpaying for my education.This scholarship hasmade me want to fighteven harder to getthrough my cancer be-

cause I know I have a lotmore people believing inme,” Shanks said.

“Seeing all of the bik-ers at thehospital truly in-spired me, knowing thatthey’ve came from such afar distance to seeme andaward me with a scholar-ship gave me that extrapush to fight on. Seeingallof the warm smiles thatbrightened up the roomput a smile not just acrossmy face, but also acrossmy heart. I will never for-get them.”

The University of Cin-cinnati Blue Ash Collegeis launching a new intern-ship program that in-cludes aboot camp tohelpstudents prepare forhands-on learning oppor-tunities outside of theclassroom.

UC Blue Ash facultyand staff have helped stu-dents secure internshipsin certain educationalprograms in the past, butthis is the first time a for-mal, standardized pro-gram has been developedby the college. The goal isto prepare students forthe workplace and proac-tively help them find op-portunities related totheir field of study.

“This is a natural pro-gression for our college,”said Cady Short-Thomp-son, dean of UC Blue Ash.“Our faculty does a tre-mendous job of teachingour students; this pro-gram takes that educationto another level by estab-lishing new standards ofreal-world professionalexpectations for our stu-dents and providing newopportunities to really ex-perience the concepts,ideas and theories taughtin the classroom.”

The internship pro-gram was developedthrough a $1.3 milliongrant awarded to the Uni-versity of Cincinnati todevelop new experientiallearningopportunities for

students. UC Blue Ash re-ceived a portion of thefunding and faculty andstaff went to work to cre-ate the new program.

One of the first stepswas creating an Intern-shipBootCamp that helpsstudents learnmoreaboutdeveloping an effectiveresume, interviewingskills, anddressingappro-priately for the work-place.

“I am excited to workwith my team in sharingall of our experience inthe business world withour students,” said JoyceWagner, creator of the In-ternship Boot Camp andDirector of theUCCenterfor Corporate Learning,which is based at UCBlueAsh. “We really focus onthe basics, such as under-standing the importanceof effective communica-tion throughemail, phone,

social media and in per-son; creating effective re-sumes and cover letters;and participating in mockinterviews.Wewant all ofour students to have aclear understanding ofprofessional behavior andetiquette before they be-gin an internship.”

UCBlueAsh offers theinternship program forstudents in the business/economics, electronicmedia and graphic com-munications & marketingprograms, but the plan isto eventually expand it tomost of the college’s15 ac-ademic departments.

Employers interestedin learningmoreabout theinternship program at UCBlue Ash College can goonline towww.uclbueash.edu orcall Angie Lucas at 513-936-1640.

Parents eagerly antici-pate the moment whentheir child first begins totalk. For some parents, itis a time of anxiety be-cause their child strug-gles to get words out. Asmany as 5 percent of pre-school children nation-wide have repetitions andprolongations of soundssevere enough to be ofconcern to their parents.

The DVD in Englishand Spanish, “Stutteringand Your Child: Help forParents,” helps parentsdetect stuttering and takeaction toward helpingtheirchildand isavailableat most public libraries.Some libraries have an

older video format.Produced by the non-

profit Stuttering Founda-tion, the film describeswhat kinds of stutteringyoung children may ex-hibit, how parents canhelp at home, and the roleof a speech pathologist inevaluating and treatingchildren who stutter.

Strategies parents canuse to help reduce stutter-ing are given throughoutthe DVD and include re-ducing the number ofquestions they ask thechild, focusing on takingturns during conversa-tions, and making time toread or talk with the childin a relaxed manner.

“Stuttering remains amystery to most people,”said Jane Fraser, presi-dent of the StutteringFoundation. “Watching ayoung child struggle tospeak can be devastating.This DVD is designed toreassure parents andfamilies that many pre-schoolers stutter, thatthey can be helped, andhow parents can play a vi-tal role in this process.”

A library that willshelve them can contactthe Foundation at 1-800-992-9392, [email protected],or visitwww.stutteringhelp.orgor www.tartarmudez.org.
