MADEIRA—Madeira leaderssay they are interested in eco-nomic development, but not atthe expense of historical land-marks.
So the city is consideringcreatinganew“MuchmoreHis-toricalArea” thatwould includethe careful use of both.
The proposed historical/commercial area in Madeirawould be comprised of city-owned property bordered byLaurel Avenue to the north, therailroad tracks to the south, astorm water culvert to the eastand Miami Avenue to the west.
The Muchmore HistoricalArea would include these his-torical properties:
» The Muchmore House at7010 Miami Ave., built in thelate 1800s by Joseph A. Much-more, who ran a general storeand served as postmaster. Ma-deira currently leases it to the
Creativities art studio andstore.
» The Cleo Hosbrook Houseat 7014MiamiAve., built in1898by Charles Hosbrook, a busi-nessman. His daughter CleoHosbrook, a second-gradeteacher, lived in it until herdeath. Madeira leases it to theMadeira Woman’s Club for theclub’s Clothes Closet resalestore.
» The Madeira railroad de-pot at 7701 Railroad Ave., builtin 1871. Madeira currentlyleases space there to ChooChoo’s Restaurant. The citywants to expand the plazaaround the depot for a commu-nity-gathering place to becalled Centennial Plaza.
“The Muchmore HistoricalArea would include one or twonew buildings along Miami Av-enue where the two historichouses now sit,” Madeira May-or Rick Brasington said.
These three historical buildings (from left: the Cleo Hosbrook House,the Muchmore House and the Madeira railroad depot) off MiamiAvenue in Madeira are included in a proposed newhistorical/commercial district under discussion by the city. JEANNEHOUCK/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

MADEIRA—Madeira Bever-age owner Roop Gupta said henever would have gone after anarmed robber with an upraisedwine bottle if the man had beencontent to slink awaywithmon-ey, lottery tickets and beer.
But when the robbersmacked Gupta’s wife, pushedher over with a large display ofwinebottles andbeganshootinghis gun into the air Sept. 5, 60-year-old Gupta took action.
That’s when Gupta took abullet to his abdomen and fell tothe ground, right in front of thehorrified eyes of his wife, Reh-ka, 47.
The robber fled and RoopGupta, holding onto his abdo-men, boosted himself up fromthe blood he was lying in and
went after him.ItwasdarkandGuptasawno
one running or driving away onKenwood Road, which runs infront of Madeira Beverage. Hesaid the robber got away soquickly that he must havejumped into a car waiting forhim on a side street.
Madeira police say the manwho shot Roop Gupta and as-saulted Rehka Gupta – who suf-fered nasty bruises still visiblethree weeks later – is WilliamDonyale Hart, 37, of Golf Man-or.
“This is the first troublewe’ve ever had,” Roop Guptasaid.
“This is a very safe commu-nity and everybody favors youhere. They are very, very nicepeople.
“Everybody says this neverhappens here,” Gupta said.
“We’re still saying this neverhappens here.”
Madeira Beverage is a truemom-and-pop (and 19-year-oldson Deepak) store, staffed onlyby relatives day and night, sev-en days a week.
It was friendly exchange af-ter friendly exchange as theGuptas took turns ringing upcustomers during a recent in-terview.
The Guptas knew which cig-arettes somecustomerswantedto buy before the customerssaid a word.

“He pulled his jacketover his face, pulled a gunand said, ‘Give me youmoney.’
“I said, ‘Howdare you tocome inside?’” Gupta said.
Gupta said theman shotinto the ceiling, sending apanel to the floor.
Rehka Gupta, the onlyother person in the store atthe time, ran over to herhusband from where shehad been stocking a coolerwith soft drinks.

my wife with the otherhand,” Roop Gupta said.
“She fell down and hekicked over a rack holding27 bottles of wine on top ofher.
“I tried to hit him with abottle,” Gupta said.
“He shot at me twotimes and one hit me.”
RehkaGuptafinds itdif-ficult to talk about her hus-band’s shooting.
After Roop Gupta couldnot find the robber – whogot nomoney – outsideMa-deira Beverage, he cameback inside, pushed anemergency button behindthe counter (where theylater found evidence thatthe robber had fired afourth shot) and told hiswife to call the police.
About this time theGup-tas’ 17-year-old daughterManisha, who heard thegunshots from the family’s
nearby Madeira home,came running into thestore.
She called police butwas so upset that RoopGupta took the phone fromher to tell them clearlywhat was going on.

Denny Mitchell said hegets emotionally attachedto his artwork.
When theMadeira resi-dent recently donated asculpture he created tothe Cheviot Fire Depart-ment, he said he couldbarely speak at the pres-entation ceremony.
“It was very emotionalfor me,” he said.
“The piece finally had ahome.”
Mitchell and his familydonated the sculpturewhile attending the festi-val the Cheviot Firemen’sAssociation hosted earlierthis summer to celebratethe 100th anniversary ofboth the fire departmentand the firemen’s associa-tion.
He said the metal artpiece, which is his inter-pretation of 9/11, is dedi-cated to those who haveserved with the CheviotFire Department duringthe past century. He saidmuch like those who werelost in 9/11, the past, pre-sent and future firefight-ers of Cheviot will neverbe forgotten.
Cheviot FireChiefRob-ert Klein said the depart-ment is truly gratefulMitchell donated thepiece, especially duringthis historic year for thedepartment.
“It’s a very uniquegift,”Klein said. “When hedescribed themeaning be-hind it, it took the crowdby surprise. t’s quitetouching.”
Mitchell said his sculp-ture symbolizes firefight-ers as they silently standmotionless listening for
signs of life at ground zerofollowing the 9/11terroristattacks in New York City.
The piece features twofire hydrants, embracedby the cables and head-ache ball from a crane.Mitchell said the fire hy-drants represent fire-fighters, and the crane ca-bles represent arms tight-ly wrapped around thefirefighters. The base ofthe piece is made from aretired Hamilton CountyPark District grill, repre-senting the flames uponwhich the firefighters arestanding, he said.
“There were thousandsof firefighters and firstresponders at ground zeroworking and listening forlife,” he said.
“I think it’s amazinghowmoving that piece is.”
Mitchell, who enjoyssculpting artworks withsteel, glass, stone andwood, said he creates his
pieces in his spare time.He said he makes hall offame trophies for the Cin-cinnati Wolfhounds rugbyteam, he made five sculp-tures for the “Bats Incred-ible!” public art project in2004 and he’s had pieceson display in front of theContemporary Arts Cen-ter, Great American BallPark and on FountainSquare.
“I can be in my garagefor three days, and I’m inmy own little world,” hesaid. “It’s a labor of love.”
When he learned theCheviot department wascelebrating its 100th anni-versary, Mitchell said hedecided he had to donatehis 9/11sculpture to thede-partment.
“It was an honor to bethere with all the fire-fighters the day we donat-ed the piece,” he said. “Itreally felt like it was in theright place.”
Klein said the depart-ment is figuringouthow tobest permanently displaythe sculpture.
Cheviot residents willbe able to see the piece upclose when the depart-ment hosts a big openhouse in October to markits 100th anniversary, hesaid.

After years of discus-sions about a roundabouton Plainville Road, a traf-fic study will soon shedlight on theproject’s feasi-bility.
Columbia Townshiphas been working for sev-eral years to construct aroundabout at the six-wayintersection of MurrayAvenue with Plainvilleand Madisonville roads,which borders the villageof Mariemont.
A roundabout isa road junction inwhich traffic trav-els counter-clock-wise around a cen-tral point.
Mariemont Vil-lage Council nixedthe proposal in2010, but the vil-lage’s Planning Commis-sion agreed in April to re-consider and move for-ward with a study.
Columbia TownshipAdministrator MichaelLemon said the study willgo a long way toward de-
termining if a roundaboutis the best way to proceed,“and then we can finallyget some real movementin that intersection.”
The study will cost$42,000,whichwill be paidwith a grant from the OhioDepartment of Transpor-
tation.Hamilton Coun-
ty Engineer Theo-dore Hubbard saidthey’re finalizingagreements withKZF Design, andthe feasibilitystudy will investi-gate several op-
tions for the intersection,which drivers have calledconfusingand frustrating,especially during morn-ing and evening rushhours.
Along with the round-about and maintaining theintersection as it is, Hub-bard said the consultantsalso will explore keepingPlainville Road as athrough street with stopsigns on Murray Avenueand Madisonville Roadand installing a standardtraffic signal.
“We’ll take a look at ex-isting traffic volumes andprojected (volumes) andapply that to the level ofservice, (which is)basedonminimizing delay,” he said.
The study also includes
howmany vehicles are sit-ting at the intersectionandhowefficiently traffictravels through the inter-section, Hubbard said.
Each option will beranked and then present-ed to the communities andstakeholders for morefeedback and discussion,he said.
Mariemont Mayor DanPolicastro sent a letter tothe Ohio Department ofTransportation earlierthis year expressing con-cerns about the round-about proposal. He askedthat crosswalks, pedestri-an safety, possible loss ofparking spaces, impact onthe historic district alongMurrayAvenue and Plain-ville Road, and severalother issues be addressedin the study.
Policastro also said at arecent Planning Commis-sion meeting that he plansto ask that traffic esti-mates for another housingdevelopment near that in-tersection and a newschool on Chestnut Street
be included as well.Hubbard said the may-
or’s concerns are includedin the scope of the study,and it should answer hisquestions about the pro-posal.
The potential round-about is linked to a possi-ble condominiumdevelop-ment on Plainville Road.Lemon had previouslysaid the developmentwouldn’t move forwardwithout the roundabout.
Columbia TownshipTrustee David Kubickisaid the township is goinginto the study not knowingwhat the conclusion willbe, thoughofficials are ob-viously hoping their hardwork in recent years leadsto the roundabout project.
“We don’t know whatthe study is going to say,”he said.
There is no timeline setfor the study’s comple-tion, and it’s not expectedto impact traffic in thearea.

Deer Park is makingmoves to encourage busi-nesses and residents to im-prove and redevelop thecity.
By establishing a com-munity redevelopmentarea, or CRA, the city canoffer businesses and resi-dents an incentive in theform of a property taxabatement on improve-mentsmade on either com-mercial or residentialproperties within the rede-velopment area. Safety-Service Director Mike Be-rens said council hopes touse the incentive to bringbusinesses in to either re-model or rebuild, aswell as
residents to improve theirown homes.
The city’s communityimprovement corporationdetermined time periodsfor each exemption in anordinance passed Sept. 10.Residents who own a sin-gle-family or two-familyhouse and invest at least$2,500 in remodeling canreceive an abatement onthe cost of improvementsfor 10 years.
For homes with morethan two residences, suchas apartment buildings, theminimum investmentmustbe $5,000 for a 12-year ex-emption. New homes canqualify for a 15-year ex-emption, Berens said.
Improvements on exist-ing commercial or indus-
trial property can receivean abatement for up to 12years, but companies haveto apply and be approvedby city council before qual-ifying. Berens said thesame works for new con-struction on a commercialor industrial building, ex-cept the abatement can beapprovedforup to15years.
Residents receive a 100percent exemption on theimprovements made totheir property, while the ex-emption for a commercialimprovement or construc-tion is up to 100 percent,which is determined also bycity council, he added.

Sycamore Township isestablishing a no parkingzone at the intersection ofBucklandDrive and SchoolRoad, following a com-plaint from a resident thatcars were having troublegetting through because ofvehicles parking on bothsides of Buckland.
The Board of Trusteesdiscussed the no parkingzone at a workshop meet-
ing, where trustees askedboth Superintendent TracyKellums and Fire ChiefWilliamJetter to lookat thearea and determine wheth-er the zone was necessary.At Tuesday’s meeting, bothKellums and Jetter agreedthat with parking on bothsides of the street, snowplowsandemergencyvehi-cles wouldn’t be able to getthrough.
“We’ve had runs on Ce-darbreaks (Lane) wherewe’vehad topark thesquad

DEERPARK—Working for FedEx last year, Joe Wehrle learnedsome valuable lessons.
Most importantly, he learnedhe wanted to get back into coach-ing soccer. Secondly, he learnedhow to move objects in order tomaximize efficiency.
At Deer Park High School,Wehrle nowhas theWildcatswin-ning more games than they havein years. They already havemorevictories than they did in the pastthree seasons combined.
“The attitude has reallychanged,” Wehrle said. “Theywereused to losing.They’vebeenreally coachable.”
That’s where the Fed Ex expe-rience comes in. The formerWildcat assistant, with stints atFelicity-Franklin, North CollegeHill, Norwood and Seven Hills,surveyed his talent and starteddistributing it to different partsof the field.
“They didn’t like what I wasdoing at the beginning of the yearand now they like it,” Wehrlesaid. “(It was) a different strate-gy utilizing our strengths. Weweren’t scoring much and nowwe’re scoring more.”
Benefiting from Wehrle’s ma-neuvers is senior Matthew Wal-let, who has pocketed enoughgoals to be one of the city’s scor-ing leaders.
“In the preseason tournamenthe said, ‘I’m a left-midfielder,’”Wehrle said. “Afterwatchinghimplay, I said, ‘No, you’re not!’ I puthim up on striker. He didn’t likethe change at first, but when hestarted having success, he did.”
Wehrle also made defensivechanges that have been success-ful for the most part. The Wild-cats have emphasized stoppingfast breaks by the opposition.
“Chris Helton has alsoswitched positions,”Wehrle said.“He’s a sweeper and doing a real-ly nice job back there. He used tobe a striker/midfielder. I did a lot
of rearranging on this team. It’slike moving furniture. They hadall of the right pieces in all thewrong places.”
HelpingWallet at striker is ju-nior Logan Walker. He’s madegains thanks to the new threat ofWallet.
“He (Walker) didn’t get muchhelp there last year,” Wehrlesaid.
The downside of Deer Park’ssuccess is that they play in theCincinnati Hills League whereMadeira, Indian Hill and Wyo-ming are usually at the top of thestandings. Both the Mustangsand Cowboys have shut out theWildcats this season.
The difference this year hasbeenamore competitive effort ingamesagainst the top contenders
and a new mindset.“These kids want to go out
there and win,”Wehrle said. “Be-fore, they just ran out there. I’mafirm believer that happiness is aproduct of hard work.”
Thanks to some tangible re-sults, Wehrle is now regarded asa pretty wise man on the greengrass of Estes Field.
“It’s kind of neat,” Wehrlesaid. “They learn, they listen andI don’t have any backtalk at all.They’re very disciplined.They’re playing very good withthe talent they have.”
The Wildcats end their seasonat Finneytown Oct. 9. Then, thehope is for a postseason run.
“That's the goal,” Wehrle said.“Hopefully, it works out well. Weshould be alright.”

INDIAN HILL — While manylook to escape to such locales asHilton Head, Destin or the SmokyMountains in their free time, Indi-an Hill High School boys tenniscoach T.J. Scheve had somethingdifferent in mind last month.
Rather than sit under a beachumbrella, Scheve packed his ten-nis racquet, a backpack, an inflat-able raft and his sense of adven-ture and headed to Alaska.
Scheve had spent time in the49th state after college and didthree stints there in the 1990s. Heloved it andwanted to go back, butmarriage and children took prece-dence.
“Thiswas finally the year Iwasgoing to be able to do it,” Schevesaid. “I’ve been in the outdoors. Iused tobeaguide inWestVirginia.I’d go down on weekends and dotheNew and theGauley River andgobackpacking. It startedasarec-reational trip.”
Through his job as a teachingtennis pro, Scheve had gone intoschools in USTA “Adopt-A-School”programs tohelpgrowthesport. As he prepared for his Alas-kan excursion, the thought oc-curred that itwouldbe a challengeto go to a Native American schooland teach.
The population of Alaska is 66percent white, but also 19 percentAmerican Indian/Alaskan Native.
The place he selectedwasUnalak-leet, Alaska.
“This town is almost 90 percentnative and the school was almost90 percent native,” Scheve said.
Unalakleet is also the first stopon the Iditarod Trail Sled DogRace and is the base for the Dis-covery Channel’s “Flying WildAlaska.”While there, he was actu-ally flown by the star of the show,Jim Tweto, to remote locations.
“I picked this (Unalakleet)principal’s name and number offof awebsite,” Scheve said. “He an-
swered the phone, I gave him mypitchandhewas like, ‘Wow!That’sgreat!’”
Through thehelpof aUSTArepin the Pacific Northwest, Schevewas gone from just after LaborDay until Sept. 15. He was in theUnalakleet school for three daysteaching the game to a small townwithout tennis courts.
“It’s part of the Bering StraitSchool District,” Scheve said. “It'sin the region that Nome is in. It’s

BLUE ASH — UrsulineAcademy junior tennisstandout Mehvish Safdaris trying to take things instride.
She’s the defending Di-vision I state singles cham-pion, and as a freshman,she teamed with her sister,Komal, to win the statedoubles title.
Safdar feels the need todefend her championship,but she’s careful to not letany pressure mount up.
“I think it’s really key tostay in themoment and notlet nerves get to me,” Saf-dar said.
Safdar knows the stateoffers tough competitionand thatmatches can go ei-ther way. She’s often askedhowshecan lose toaplayerone day, but beat them thenext.
She’s responds by say-ing tennis is a mentalgame.
Safdar’s (14-2) twolosses this season havecomeat thehandsofMountNotre Dame’s Sandy Nie-haus— the girl Safdar beatfor the state title last fall.
Many might think Saf-dar would want to avoidplaying a tough playersuch as Niehaus, but that’snot the case. Safdar looksforward to playing the op-ponent she described as agood friend.
“I enjoyplayingSandy,”Safdar said. “You get somegood competition in andsome good pressurematches.”
Safdar looked postsea-son-ready coming her offher first-place finish at theGreater Cincinnati TennisCoaches Association Clas-sic Sept. 22.
She said the tournament
gave her a confidenceboost even though shedidn’t play Niehaus, whoended upwinning Flight B.
“I was really motivatedtowin it thisyear. I feel likeit will preparemewell (forthe postseason),” Safdarsaid. “I had some goodmatches in there.”
With the postseason
tournament scheduled tostart Oct. 3, Safdar isn’tgetting ahead of herself asshe begins her title de-fense.
“There’s a lot of goodcompetition. I’m just goingto really try and push my-self these next few weeksand trying to do my best,”she said.

A publication of
Sept. 26 questionDo you think the Federal Re-
serve’s decision to buy $40 bil-lion a month in mortgage-backed securities to cut borrow-ing costs for home buyers andother borrowers, and pledge tokeep short-term rates near zerountil at least mid-2015 will helpthe economy?Why or why not?
“Yes.“Anything, albeit it new and
untested, is better than doingnothing in this ongoingchalleng-ing economy.
"There is always the possibil-ity itmay be successful, be it forthe short or long term.
"Also, if it is truly designed toall helpall rather thanonly thoseat the top echelon of the socialstrata, it would be more fair toall that may be eligible forsame.”
J. J.
“The Fed's decisions to buymortgaged-backed securitiesandtokeep interest rates lowforat least another three years willprovide minimal help to theeconomy in the short run andwill add greatly to our nation'sfinancial woes in the long run.
“With respect to the first pol-icy, do people realize that theFed is in effect printing moneyto buy those mortgages? Thiswill just add to the already mas-sive and unprecedented in-crease in the supply of money,with no commensurate increasein the need for it.
“In the past, in other placesand at other times, this practicehas eventually led to inflation –sometimes even hyper-inflation –which can devastate the purchas-ing power of savers and inves-tors, includingmany retirees.
“The purchases drive theprice of mortgage securities up,which forces the rates on mort-gages down.Mortgage rates arealreadyat rockbottom, sohow isthis going to entice more homesales?
“Worse, the Fed has said theywill keep buying those securi-ties in whatever amount and forwhatever time period they feelis warranted. This is a little likeannouncing an ‘open bar’ thatwill never close. So, while wemight have fun for a few hours,we'll wake up with a bad hang-over.
“Keeping interest rates lowalso penalizes the saver and in-vestor while it benefits the bor-rower. So, if you have been fru-gal and saved your money theFed is going to artificially keepinterest rates – your return –low, which benefits the person
whohasbeena spendthrift andaborrower by keeping his inter-est costs low.
“This is indeed a strange newworld that we live in.”
T.H.
“No, I do not think the Feder-al Reserve's decision to buy $40billion a month in mortgage-backed securities is a good idea.It is another example of govern-ment intrusion where it has nobusiness interfering.
“All of us knowof friends andneighbors who have lost theirhomes because they could notpay their mortgages. The solu-tion is not to have the govern-ment step inandrescue the lend-ers of mortgages to people whocannot afford them.
“The solution is to create amore friendly climate for busi-nesses by eliminating many ofthe regulations imposed by thegovernment on businesses,which have discouraged the hir-ing of US workers causing mas-sive unemployment.
“Businesses freed from ex-cess regulations would be in amuch better position to hire em-ployees. If you don't believe it,callCincinnatiBell forcustomerservice some time.What state is'Manila' in?”
Bill B.
“Absolutely not. Our govern-ment is wasting tax dollars, andthe economywon't recover untilthe Fed stops printing money.
“Honestly? GM & Chryslerdidn't need ‘US’ tobail themout ...they would have made it throughthe existing court system.
“All the printed money is go-ing to the 1 percent folks, andNONE of them has changed athing about how they run theirfirms because of the zillions'WE' gave them. To give $40mil-lionamonth toWall Street is out-rageous!”

Every week The Suburban Life asksreaders a question they can reply tovia e-mail. Send your answers [email protected] withChatroom in the subject line.
No matter what your politi-cal party beliefs may be, it ishard to deny that America isfacing some difficult days.
We have an astronomicaldebt, our economy is still on ashaky footing, and it seems likethe Middle East despises usmore than ever. Jobs arescarce, and times are tough fora lot of people.
As I walk around the Uni-versity of Cincinnati campusand listen to the conversationspeople are having, few seem tocare. Sports, parties and class-es dominate the dialogue of theaverage college student. Thisis not surprising, but it is dis-heartening. With all of theseproblems that exist, especiallythe difficulty of finding a jobthat is fitting of a degree, why
do young peo-ple not seem tocare?
This is achronic apathythat has exist-ed in our coun-try for far toolong, and itputs our futurein jeopardy.This core con-
cept is what inspired me totake up my pen and write myfirst book.
I am a 2011 graduate of Ma-deira High School, and I can’tsay enough about the excel-lence of that school system.Without the teachers and thestaff I would not be the personI am today.
During my years in high
school, I became very dis-turbed by how little my friendsand classmates cared aboutwhat was happening in theworld around them. I did mybest to talk to people about theissues, but most of the timethey had no clue as to what Iwas talking about, or they said,“there’s nothing I can do aboutit.” And this was at a schoolwith high academic standards,so if we lacked the awareness,it wasn’t hard to imagine howfar behind students at otherschools found themselves.
Talking was becoming wea-risome, so I began to write. Ibegan by choosing differenttopics and spilled my personalbeliefs out on paper. It was away for me to put my thoughtsin order so I could continue to
do my best to inform myfriends. I couldn’t vote, but Istill felt like I had a duty. At acertain point I realized that mywriting had turned into some-thing much bigger than I hadanticipated. One day it just hitme: I had to share what I hadbeen working on with others.
The next few months con-sisted of in-depth research,writing late into the night, andmoments when I felt like giv-ing up. I pushed on and wasfinally able to produce a fin-ished piece titled, “The Millen-nial Generation: RestoringAmerica.” This book was pub-lished in March, and is avail-able for sale on Amazon.comand Lulu.com.
To put it simply, we canmake a difference as individ-
uals. The young people of thiscountry are the backbone ofour future prosperity. We needto work hard to get informed,because the problems we facetoday are going to have to besolved by us tomorrow.
Right now, at this moment,we are not prepared to take onthat responsibility. Despitethis, I have hope. If we can justget people to start talkingabout the things that matter,we can restore this country.Reach out to your friends andspeak your mind. Ask ques-tions and work to find the an-swers for yourself.
We do this, and I am confi-dent in what our future holdsas Americans.

I am one of two judges whopreside over Hamilton CountyMunicipal Court’s MentalHealth Court (MHC). Any judge,attorney or probation officermay refer a defendant chargedwith a misdemeanor to MHC atany time during the case: atpretrial, trial, sentencing, oreven after the original judgehas placed them on probation.
Once someone is referred toMHC they are screened by thecourt psychiatric clinic to con-firm that they have an eligiblediagnosis. Next a public defend-er meets with the defendant toexplain the program, and prose-cutors also must agree to a casebeing placed into MHC.
The program is optional, butif the defendant meets the crite-ria and wants to participate, heor she is assigned to one of thetwo MHC judges, pleads guiltyto the charge, and the judgesentences the defendant to oneyear of intensive probation. Thedefendant meets the MHC teamcomprised of a specialized pro-bation officer, the attorneys, thejudge, and employees of Great-er Cincinnati BehavioralHealth, an agency of care man-agers, counselors, doctors andnurses who provide “wraparound services” for these de-
fendants, in-cluding re-ferrals fordrug and alco-hol addiction,housing issues,or even help inorganizingtheir days. Theindividualizedprograms offerclasses rangingfrom behavior
modification to art therapy.Each judge schedules her
individuals about twice a monthfor status reports. Before court,the teammeets in the judge’schambers to update the judgeon the progress or setbacks ofeach individual up for reportthat day.
As the one in the black robewho has the power to put peoplein jail, I sometimes have therole of “the enforcer.” It is rarethat anyone will go to jail whilein the program, but they do haveto be accountable to me. Often Iget to be the one who offerspraise and support for theirefforts. This is a wonderfulcollaboration between the crim-inal justice system and the men-tal health system.
For the year that these defen-dants are in our program we can
get them stabilized in theirmental and physical health andin their housing, and we canconnect them to people andservices that can help themmaintain their stability. We aresuccessful if we can keep ourparticipants crime free for theyear that they are in the pro-gram, and for one additionalyear beyond the program.Eighty-six percent of our pro-gram participants remaincrime-free for the year in theprogram and for the year fol-lowing successful terminationfrom the program. This is a farhigher success rate than thenational statistics, and moreimportantly, after defendantsfinish the year’s program, theystay engaged with their serviceproviders.
This is a win-win situation:citizens are happy that crime isdown, the defendants feel betterphysically and emotionally, andthese people who really don’tbelong in jail do not take upvaluable jail space. MHC isfunded in part through theHamilton County Mental HealthBoard.

One of these days I’mgoing to write a cookbookincluding “Hall of Fame”recipes frommy column.
When Ithink of allthe recipessharedacross ourcommunityof readersand theinterestgeneratedby them, Iknow thatfood shared
with family and friends isnot only nurturing butmakes memories andtraditions. That’s whyevery year I get requestsfor Nell Wilson’s pickledpeppers. Nell, a Masonreader, is the mother ofour garden guru, RonWilson, and her pickledpeppers are the best. I’veadapted the recipe overthe years, but the originalpremise comes from Nell.Peppers are in season soby making your own, youare saving lots of moneyplus you know exactlywhat’s in them.
Nell Wilson’sfamous hot pickledpeppers
I make this with a mix-ture of mostly hot pep-pers. I usually don’t add 2cups sugar; if I use any atall, I’ll start out with half acup, taste the brine and gofrom there. You’ll getenough brine for 5-6 pints
or about 3 quarts peppers.Peppers:
2 pounds or so, prepared asdirected below
Brine:Bring to a boil, then
lower to a simmer for 5minutes.
6 cups clear or cider vinegar,5 percent acidity
2 cups water
Optional ingredients:
Sugar to taste: up to 2 cupsSalt: up to 2 tablespoons, ifyou want
1 garlic clove for each jar1 bay leaf for each jar1 grape leaf for each jar (thissupposed tomake themextra crunchy)
Bring brine to a boil.Let simmer 5 minutes orso.
Prepare peppers:Use rubber gloves.Leave peppers whole
with a slit down the centerif you like, or slice. Placepeppers in hot jars, pack-ing tightly. Pour simmer-ing brine over, coveringpeppers. Add optionalingredients. Wipe rimswith clean wet cloth. Putlids and seals on. Profes-sionally, I’ll tell you toprocess pints 10 minutesor quarts 15 minutes in aboiling water bath aftersealing. That is the recom-mended safe method forcanning. (Check out myblog for directions.) I don’tprocess mine, but I steril-ize the jars and lids, andkeep them in boiling water
until they’re filled. I havenever had a problem, butagain, the recommendedway to preserve these is ina boiling water bath. Jarswill seal on their own –you’ll hear little “pings” asthe seal completes. Anythat don’t seal, just put inrefrigerator. Chill in re-frigerator before serving.
Tip from Rita’s kitchen• The membrane that
the seeds are attached tois the hottest part of thepepper.
• The lids are a two-parter: a flat seal and a
ring. The rings are reus-able, but the seals are not.
• See Rita make these:video for pickling pepperson www.abouteating.com.
• Peppers are good foryour eyes and heart,among other things.
Spicy bistro oystercrackers for soups
With autumn comeschilly days and the aromaof a pot of soup cooking isso comforting. Take soupto a whole new level withthese tasty crackers. I caneat these as a snack! Youcan add more garlic pow-der, oregano and chili
powder. Crush these for anunusual topping for macand cheese, etc.
1 24 oz. box oyster crackers¾ cup canola or olive oil1 envelope Taco seasoning½ teaspoon each garlicpowder, Italian seasoningor oregano, chili powder
Preheat oven to 350.Put crackers in big bowl.Whisk oil and seasoningstogether. Taste and addmore seasoning if you like.Sometimes I’ll add moregarlic powder. Pour overcrackers and toss to mixwell. Pour onto cookiesheets in single layers.Bake 15-20 minutes, stir-ring once, until golden
brown. Cool and store,covered, at room temper-ature.

The mystery of the ex-clusiveunionof theChurchas Bride with the Lord isexpressed in the vocationof cloistered nuns, precise-ly because their life is en-tirely dedicated to God,loved above all else.”
These words of Vaticandocument Verbi Sponsacapture the vocation thatcalled Sister Mary Jordanof the Holy Family, O.P.,formerly Ida Friemoth ofLoveland, toahidden lifeofprayer in the deep South.
On Saturday, Aug. 18,Sister Mary Jordan of theHoly Family, O.P.made herSolemn Profession at theDominican Monastery ofSt. Jude inMarbury,Ala., inthe presence of Archbish-op Thomas J. Rodi, arch-bishopofMobile, andArch-bishop Emeritus Oscar H.Lipscomb, Dominican fri-ars&sisters, diocesancler-gy, friends, family and herDominican community.
Solemn Professionmarks the total consecra-
tion of the nun as a bride ofChrist and her permanentcommitment to the Domin-ican life.
Sister Mary Jordan, theoldest child ofDale andRa-chel Friemoth of Loveland,first became aware of hercall to religious life in herearly teens.
After graduating fromher family’s home schooland from the inauguralyear ofHoly Family Catho-lic Home Educators’ highschool co-op Mary Seat of
Wisdom, Sister Mary Jor-dan attended ChristendomCollege in Front Royal, Va.
Drawn to the Order ofPreachers by the witnessof Dominican Friars at St.Gertrude Parish in Madei-ra, her family’s parish,where she participated inthe high school YouthGroup and the 20s Group,she firstmet thenunsat theDominican Monastery ofSt. Jude shortly after hergraduation from college.The peace and joy of theSisters, along with theirmonastic life, Latin chant,Marian consecration anddevotion to Jesus in the Eu-charist made a deep im-pression on her.
“Many elements at-tracted me to the monas-tery,” said SisterMary Jor-dan when asked about hervocation, “but there is onereason why I can make
vows today ‘until death:’ Iam convinced that Jesuswants me to belong com-pletely toHim, to seekHim
constantly in purity ofheart, and to givemy life inunion with Him for the sal-vation of souls.”

Sister Mary Jordan, daughter of Dale and Rachel Freimothof St. Gertrude Parish, professed her final vows asDominican Nun Aug. 18 at the Dominican Monastery of St.Jude in Marbury, AL. PROVIDED

Last academic year, 66Xavier University MBAstudents completed a se-mester-long “Doing Busi-ness in the Global Econo-my” course, which re-quired a 10- to 12-day inter-national study trip.
Students traveled toChina, Hong Kong, Brazil,Argentina, London andGermany, where they com-pleted a global market op-portunity analysis, exam-ining the viability of intro-ducing a new product orservice to an internationalmarket.
Twelve students werenominated to participate inthe 2012 Best Paper Com-petition Aug. 24. They pre-sented their work to threejudges from the Board ofExecutive Advisors of theCenter for InternationalBusiness at Xavier’s Wil-liams College of Business:Dr. Christopher Panczyk,program manager at Gen-eral Electric, Dr. VivekNa-rendran of Cincinnati Chil-dren’s Hospital MedicalCenter, andMr. Phil Foster,vice president and chiefrisk officer of CatholicHealth Initiatives.
Best Paper Award wentto lead professor Mee-Shew Cheung and teammembersDanielleHamlyn(45208), Lauren Kaminsky(45208), Sharika Anderson(45227) and Casey Hamlyn(45208). Their 30-minutepresentation addressed theglobal market opportunityanalysis of introducingKraft Barbecue Sauce toChina.
Runners-up were: Lau-ren Kinker (45236), AllisonPozega (45044), StephanieSalak (45246) and ScottTungseth (45220), and leadprofessor Cheung, andWil-liamCloppert (45241), KirkEdwards (45249), MarkHanlon (45213) and Jason
Riveiro (45202),whose leadprofessor was ThomasHayes.
“This competition al-lows our students to gainreal world experience andinsight into the challengesof conducting a globalmar-ket opportunity analysis,”said Cheung, director ofXavier’s Center for Inter-national Business. “Doingthis exercise better pre-pares them to help theiremployers explore over-seas expansion opportuni-ties. They learn to deter-mine how to increase yourbusiness when the homemarket is not growing.”
The Best Paper Compe-tition is sponsored by theBoard of Executive Advi-sors of Xavier’s Center forInternational Business. Atotal of $2,600 in awards isgiven to three finalistteams. The competition en-courages students to seek
applicable value from theirparticipation in studyabroad. They interact withglobal business executivesand consumers to under-stand thenuances andchal-lenges in conducting busi-ness in a cross-cultural set-
ting. The coursework in-cludes pre-trip lectures,country research and apost-trip team project, en-hancing students’ aware-ness of the forces of global-ization and strengtheningtheir managerial skills
