Wyoming City Schools hasjoined with several other localdistricts to evaluate and rede-fine the way school systems aremeasured in Ohio.

Wyoming joins Forest Hills,Indian Hill, Loveland, Madeira,Mariemont, Mason, Milford,Oak Hills and Sycamore schooldistricts to form the Coalition ofAcademic Standards of Excel-lence.

CASE is working with thestate organization Alliance forHigh Quality Education to de-fine measures that go beyondtest scores, including a student’sability to transfer and applyknowledge to aproblemorappli-cation in a new context, accord-ing to Wyoming SuperintendentSusan Lang.

“Critical thinking and analy-sis, complex communication,

creativity and collaboration areskills that shouldbe imbedded inthe curriculum, course andgrade-level expectations, andreflected in student products,portfolios and co-curricular ex-periences,” she said.

“The state’s approach to de-fining quality doesn’t alwayswork for all school districtssincethedesignations, rankings,assessments and formulas thatare used to determine key areasof the report card are combinedinto a single designation,” Langsaid. “It simply doesn’t tell thewhole story ofwhat is really tak-ing place in schools.

“In our district, measuringstudent success does not solelymean academic achievement orresults of a state test,” she said.“Rather,webelieve it is a combi-nation of many elements whichinclude visual arts, music, dra-ma, athletics, extra-curricularactivities, service learning, anddevelopment of leadershipskills.”

The alliance has set a goal tohave a multiple measure score-card completed by the end of theschool year.

Oneday lastMay, Robert andLauna Peavley were driving onLawnview Avenue.

As the Springdale couplepassed thehomes in the residen-tial neighborhood, Launa hearda scream.

Robert stopped the car, andthey spotted a woman lying inthe grass, calling for help.

Mary Berheger had visitedher brother’s house on Lawn-view to pick up his mail, as hewas out of town.

She had lost her footing andfell, unable to move.

When the Peavleys cameupon the82-year-old, theycalled911, and Berheger was taken tothe hospital for treatment of abroken leg.

It was the Good Samaritanact of the couple to a completestranger that the Springdale Po-lice Department has recognizedwith an award held in high es-teem.

Lt. RickNeumann respondedto the call that day inMay, and itwas Neumann who presentedSpringdale’s Challenge Coin tothe Peavleys in August.

“Wewant all of ourcitizens topitch in and help,” Neumannsaid. “If you see something outof the ordinary, report it, or tellsomebody.

“We instill that in our kids,and we can do it as adults.

“They heard a scream, foundher lying on the sidewalk, andthey tended to her,” Neumannsaid. “It’s so important that we,as a community, step up andhelp.”

Though Challenge Coins in-clude many stories and applica-tions, including identifyingmembers of an organization, asan award for exemplary ser-vice, to improve morale and forluck, Springdale police issuethem as a recognition of exem-plary actions among the com-munity.

“The Springdale Police De-partment tries to recognize peo-ple in thecommunitywhoget in-volved and assist our publicsafety forces in doing our job,”Police Chief Michael Mathissaid. “One of the hallmarks of agood community is people whoare willing to get involved andhelp their neighbors.

Templates will include esti-mated receipt data, includingfund balance.

“This should provide a betteroverview of the funds status,”McKeehan said in his report.

The other change, McKee-han said, is the incorporation ofcontingencies.

A local architect who de-signed Neil Armstrong’s housemore than a decade ago has paidtribute to a man who walked onthe moon, and wanted to makehis wife happy.

NeilArmstrongmadehistoryas an astronaut, but Rod Sidleysaw him from a different angle,as he worked with Armstrongand his wife, Carol Held Knight,to build their Indian Hill homeabout a dozen years ago.

He saw a man who tended totechnical details, but also a hus-band who wanted his wife to behappy.

Sidley, who owns Rod SidleyArchitects in Wyoming, de-signed and oversaw the projectthat included the demolition ofthe previous home on the site – ahome he had also designed forCarol before her marriage toArmstrong.

“He wanted her to have thehouse she wanted,” Sidley said

of Armstrong. “He was more in-terested in the technicalaspects.He had an analytical approach.

“It was the armature of theirlife together.”

Though hewas pivotal in cre-ating the house that the couplemade their home, Sidley doesn’thave Armstrong’s autograph.

He never asked for it.“Everybody wanted it,” Si-

dley said. “Hiswhole lifewasev-erybody wanting somethingfrom him.

“I didn’t want it to be the na-ture of our relationship.”

It takesfaith tobelieve Godwill helpyou win theunwin-nable.

James L.RobinsonSr. of Liber-ty Town-ship is astudy incourage

and faith. In 2009, thisambassador for hopewrote “From Delinquentto Disciple,” not for per-sonal gain, but rather tohelp others get close toGod and stay off drugs.

James was born in 1958in Anderson County, S.C.,to sharecroppers living indire conditions. His moth-er’s cancer caused thefamily to move here forbetter medical care. Rela-tives lived in LincolnHeights, and after hismother’s death when hewas barely 8, James and abrother lived with 10 dif-ferent family members infour years.

We met at Paul Seay’sSpringdale home. Paul isbrother to James’s wife,Regina, whom James livedacross the street from inchildhood. Paul is a DesertStorm veteran who alsoserved in Germany andKorea. Regina and Paulare siblings of LamourSeay, who until his deathwas responsible for thegorgeous flowers on Wyo-ming streets. Their moth-er grew lush rose busesfrom which Paul still car-ries the scars after a tum-ble. Their sister is Deb-orah, past mayor of Lin-coln Heights, currently acouncilperson and recent-ly honored at the Mayor’s

Breakfast.The Rev. John Bower of

Springdale once preached,“We are all going to findthe journey in faith diffi-cult and we must ask forhelp from Jesus.”

James writes honestlyof the despair he felt evenwhen he knew God waswith him. His personalstruggle led him to be-come a deacon at Mt.Moriah Baptist Mission-ary Baptist Church, wherehe taught Sunday schoolfor 22 years. Gratified tosee his students grow upand doing well, he says,“People can change if theyallow God to use them.”

The years of poverty,tragedy, drugs, racism andredemption helped Jamesunderstand you can’tclimb a smooth mountain.Without the rocks, youcan’t get a foothold toascend. James stumbledover many rocks. Regina

saw the good man beneaththe bad actions, and hesays she is his gift fromGod. When he proposed,her mother’s wise counselabout what commitmentmeans stuck with him.

They married in 1982and have a son (27), a UCgraduate who works atKroger’s Blue Ash corpo-rate office, and a daughter(23), an OU graduate nowin Miami University’s

graduate and citizenshipprograms. Both benefittedfrom his honesty andexperiences and he isproud of them.

The move north pre-sented a cultural shockthat added to his woes.James was surprised atthe racism. He realizes thesituation at Ford Motors iseasy for people to forget.He and many other Afri-can Americans were de-nied advancement in anapprenticeship program,while those less qualifiedwere advanced. His law-suit took six years to winduring which he experi-enced revelations abouthuman nature, big busi-ness, the law and God thattested his faith.

Finally, he reaped anunexpected harvest forthousands of employeesand their families whomhe will never meet. Jamesis pleased that God usedhim as an instrument toright a wrong that affect-ed so many others. Thevictory was bittersweet,because the apprentice-ship program was put onhold due to the economy.

James encourages all toshare this gripping bookwith their children. It isinspirational and pep-

pered with biblical quotesthat dovetail his experi-ences and present guid-ance and admonitions.Most of all, it gives hope.

An update on the highschool/middle school con-structionproject and infor-mation about the school-based health center will beprovided.

The focuswill be onhowall of that will come togeth-er in the new campus.

“Most important is thevision of what instructionand classroom structurelooks like,” Sprankles said.“We will have a huge, stateof the art facility, andsometimes that can be de-

ceptive.People may think it

solves things, but that’s notthe case,” he said. “It’smore about the culture andcaliber, rigor and craft youcarve out as a vision forstudents and teachers.

“Youhave tohaveashiftin culture and structure,and you have to bring theentire community along.”

The entire communityincludes families and busi-nesses.

“How do you work as acommunity tosupport localbusiness and simulta-neously support the multi-million-dollar companywhose headquarters is inSharonville, and everyonein between,” he said.

The breakfast will be anopportunity to bring to-gether individuals whoseonly connection is Prince-ton.

“The indirect outcomeof the breakfast is thatcommunity members canbegin to build stronger re-lationships with each oth-er,” Sprankles said.

St. Xavier High School has anew principal.

Bill Sandquist, 68, is servingas the interim principal for the2012-13 school year to replaceformer principal DavidMueller,who resigned July 31 to becomeprincipal at Mother of MercyHigh School.

Sandquist, former assistantprincipal, said he was ap-proached by St. Xavier Presi-dent Rev. Tim Howe asking himto consider the job.

“It took a lot of praying andconsulting to decide,” Sandquistsaid. “I’mdoing this foroneyear,and then I’m retiring.”

Having served the highschool since 1981, and as a reli-

gion teacher in Cincinnati since1970, Sandquist said his careerwas “winding down,” but that hewas happy to help the school.

“I agreed to serve primarilyfor the kids,” Sandquist said.“It’s great for the institution be-cause it gives themayear to do athorough search for a principalwho will help lead for the fu-ture.”

An appointed committee willbegin a search in the fall for apermanent replacement.

St. Xavier Assistant VicePresident Roderick Hinton willbe heading the search. He saidthere will be meetings with con-stituents of the St. Xavier com-munity to develop expectationsof the next principal. They willthen conduct a national searchand post the position on various

educationsites, including theJe-suit Secondary Education Asso-ciationwebsite, theArchdioceseofCincinnati and several others.

“Our ultimate goal is to findthe best person to lead us for-ward,” Hinton said. “We willcontinue to be a school that de-velops our men to become lead-ers and uphold high academicstandards.”

While the school searches forthe 2013-14 principal, Sandquistsaid he’ll do his best.

“I get out of bed every morn-ing feeling good about my job,”Sandquist said.

And Hinton said Sandquistwas a good man for the job.

“Itwas reallynatural tomoveBill to that role,” Hinton said.“He truly understands the cul-ture of the school.”

SHARONVILLE — The Prince-ton High School Lady Vikings’soccer squad is about to go into atough part of their schedule-—but at least they’ll do so with abig achievement under theirshin guards.

Despite dropping the firsttwo matches of the season,Princeton rebounded to beatWyoming, 1-0, Aug. 27, and fol-lowed that match up with a 3-1win over Clark Sept. 1.

Vikings head coach KatieIsaacs said her team looks at theWyoming contest as a big gameon the schedule—and for goodreason. Princeton hadn’t defeat-ed the Cowboys since 2008.

“We haven’t beat Wyomingsince I became the head coach,”she said. “That was big for us.This is the first time they everbeat them. It’s always a fungame.”

At the time of this story,Princeton was 2-3, and gettingready to get into the heart ofGreaterMiami Conference play.

While the teamhassomechal-lenges ahead, Isaacs feels goodabout where the Vikings stand.

“I feel good…we’re finding

thebackof thenet better inprac-tice and better in the game. Wereally look to get those earlywins, but the good thing aboutbeing in the GMC, is once the(conference season starts), it’slike a fresh start,” Isaacs said.

The league season should alsoprovide freshman Maggie Stan-ley a chance to display her abil-ities among some of the area’stoughest teams.

Stanley looks like she’s up tothe challenge. In four games,she’s netted two goals. One ofthose scores was the game-win-ning goal against Wyoming.

Isaacs,whohas been trackingStanley sincemiddle school, saidshe was worried to see how the

freshman would fit in at the var-sity level. “She’s fit in great.She’s strong on the ball and herknowledge of communication, interms of leadership…is some-thing that doesn’t come a lot, es-pecially at her age,” Isaacs said.

Forward/midfielder SierraPowell has also been a key con-tributor. Powell netted twoscores during the team’s 3-1 winover Clark. “She’s very danger-ous in the air.Her shots aremoredangerous. I think she’s reallygrowing into her own becauseshe’s dedicated herself to soc-cer.”

The Vikings have also gottenstrong play from Claire Albertz,who has three assists despiteplaying defender. Albertz playson the back line because of herleadership. But Isaacs knowsshe’s effective on offense, so Al-bertz will move upwhen theVik-ings go on the offensive.

“I’d love to play her every-where. She’s one of the biggestleaders on the team. She’s ex-tremely effective on offense andsmart aboutwhen she can runupand make a play,” Isaacs said.

Goalie Abby Stevens has alsohad some standout moments.The sophomoremade 22 saves inthe Wyoming shutout.

WYOMING—WhenWyomingAthletic Director Scott Kauf-man needed a new girls tenniscoach, he knew right where tofind him.

The former Princeton ADknew that Rob Caress did a finejob with the Vikings’ boys teamand his father, Bob, had alsocoached the boys.

Given Wyoming’s long ten-nis tradition, the call fromKaufman to the Caress house-holdmight have been easily oneof the easiest employment ne-gotiations in high school sports.

Now, Bob Caress is headingup the Wyoming girls, assistedby his son. The result has beenmore wins and more traditionfor the Cowboys in the making.

“We have a lot of experienceand Scott sort of drafted us,”Caress said. “We’re having agood time doing it.”

Fortunately, Bob Caress in-herited a team from formercoach Chris Hemmingway thatwaschalkfull ofall-leagueplay-ers. In addition, sophomore Ha-ley Thoresen, the sister of therecently graduated Tess Thore-sen has moved back from theSunshine State.

“Haley’s been in Florida at acouple of different tennis acad-emies over the last two years,”Caress said. “We have a lot ofgood, young tennis players. Alot of them have been at Wyo-ming and have made all-leagueand lettered.”

With Haley Thoresen play-ing first singles, the Cowboysbecome that much stronger ondown the proverbial ladder.

“It’s going to be a tough roadto get to the team state tourna-ment,” Caress said. “That’s ourprimarygoal outsideofwinningthe conference, which Wyo-ming hasn’t done in a long

time.”The “tennis DNA” at Wyo-

ming is good. In addition to theThoresen name, people are fa-miliar with the Bourbons andHennessys. Senior Ashley Berghas a sophomore sister, Rachel.

Ashley Berg made the statetournament playing doubleswith Tess Thoresen and is nowtheCowboys’ third singles play-er behind Madison Bourbon.

“The luxury we have isthere’s a lot of potential mixingand matching,” Caress said.“MeredithHennessy plays firstdoubles with Maddy Boster. El-len Koesterman and RachelBerg play second doubles.They’re very good. We havepeople that don’t play in ourlineup regularly that could playat most high schools.”

“We are where we are at themoment, but it may change,”Caress said. “Wehave some tre-mendous practices. It’s reallyeye-opening to see the talent.Hopefully, we can put it togeth-er.”

After a match with Cincin-nati Country Day Sept. 12, Wyo-ming is back at Friendly Courtsto take on Madeira Sept. 13.

A publication of

Mr. Steve MoorePresident, Princeton City

Schools Board of EducationDear Mr. Moore,The school board and school

leadership owe the tax payers ofGlendale an apology.

Superintendent Gary Pack’sarrogant attitude in a recentletter to Glendale residents wasuncalled for. There are a grow-ing number of people in yourdistrict who feel that Pack’sdismissive and disrespectfulbehavior does not set a goodexample as a leader/role modelfor the school district and ourchildren.

Pack’s letter concerning aland donation has raised the ireof many people and has raised

many questions. We want toknow if the school board autho-rized that letter, what it cost andwho paid for the preparation anddistribution of that letter. Forthose of us not in the know, thereseems to be some kind of veiledthreat in the letter regardingfuture traffic. In fact, it soundeda lot like bullying, something Iwould think school leadershipand the school board wouldstrongly object to.

The Glendale land in questionwas not part of the plan we vot-ed on and approved. We want toknow why there is even a dis-cussion about an exit from thenew school building onto SharonRoad since that was not includedin the plan that was voted on.

In fact, wewere specifi-cally told bythe schoolboard at thetime of thebuilding bondvote that therewould be nogeneral schooltraffic exitingonto SharonRoad. If you

look at the plans on your website, there is no exit road whereone was built. If I were cynical, Iwould say it appears that oncethe district has our money, theyno longer feel they have anyobligation to keep us informedof any changes to the plan we

voted on, let alone get our input.Since about 42 percent of ourtax dollars go to the district, weshould be treated with morerespect and be better informed.Instead, we get a nasty letter inthe mail.

Please be reminded thatGlendale provides strong fi-nancial support to the districtand provides a disproportionateamount of tax dollars to thePrinceton City School district,considering we only have 184students currently enrolled. Ifmy numbers are correct, theresidents of Glendale provideapproximately 10 percent of theproperty tax revenue the dis-trict collects but Glendale stu-dents comprise only about 3.3

percent of the total enrollmentin the district. We provide thedistrict approximately $20,000per Glendale student whichtranslates into a significantfinancial subsidy for the dis-trict.

I expect that you will sit Dr.Pack down and explain to himwho pays his salary and that heowes Glendale leadership andthe residents of Glendale anapology. As a leader and a rolemodel for our children, heshould work on a more matureapproach to his job.

Michael Burnham is a resident ofGlendale.

Open letter to Princeton Board

MichaelBurnhamCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

We have all recently beenassaulted by advertisementsfrom Duke Energy, stating theobvious: “When you flick thatswitch on, you don’t thinkabout everything behind thatswitch.”

Er, no. That’s what I pay(handsomely I might add)Duke Energy to worry about.If I did want to think about itand save myself lots of money,I would hook up my bicycle toa generator with a big rubberband, and have my teenagechildren work for their watts.

There is a video in a similarvein that people who fly Deltawill recognize: It’s the onewhere the CEO intones “Safetyis our first priority,” aftertelling us such priceless in-formation as “I sit at the foun-ders desk every day” (whathappened to the furniturebudget? It wasn’t spent on theplane I was on). Many wouldagree that customer serviceshould be their No. 1 priority,because safety is a given andone of the reasons we have theFAA.

What is the point of ad-vertising like this? Does Dukewant me to feel good aboutthem raising the rates at somepoint in the future? I live inIndian Hill and have to own agenerator, because Duke can-not deliver the power reliably,so count me out of those whowould pat them on the backand say, “Go ahead, charge memore – you deserve it!”

Why is Delta telling me thatsafety, which is a given andpart of what I pay taxes for,has now superseded what Ipaid Delta for, namely a decentseat on a flight that left andarrived on time, hopefully tothe destination on my ticket?

In my humble opinion, this

is part of anincreasinglycommon phe-nomenon.When compa-nies find them-selves unableor incompe-tent to providegreat service,they fall backon selling us

what we are already payingfor, as if it were somethingextraordinary. It is a cheaptrick, a copout and doesn’t foolanyone, except those in themeeting that approved theexpenditure for such advertis-ing. These executives and theadvertising agencies involvedshould be fired right awaybefore they waste anyoneelse’s money.

Good service is hard workand too few companies arewilling to invest in it. Sadly,many of us are just too busy todemand what we pay for.

There is, in this sad tale ofdeclining value for money, asilver lining: people who offerextraordinary service will notonly get recognized, they be-come remarkably successful.Lexus, Nationwide ClaimsService and Angie’s List arerecognized examples of bothgood service and our cravingfor it.

If your company is trying totell me what I that it is extraor-dinary because it provides mewith what I paid for, then mayI suggest you polish your re-sume: you are one smart en-trepreneur away from losingyour shirt.

ment. If people know that theyhave a fair chance of getting afine then maybe it will causesome to think twice.

“Like a lot of drivers, I cannottell youhowmany timesasoccermom or a teenager has almostcrashed either texting or tryingto steer with the phone againsttheir ear.

“Give me the inebriated anyday. At least when they wipe meout there is no argument who isat fault, what caused it, andwhatthe penalties will be.”

J.Z.

“I can't say that I amaperfectdriver because as long as we arehumanbeings,wewillmakemis-takes. I do think the new lawshould help as long as it gets en-forced. Unfortunately we do nothave enough law enforcementofficers to notice everythingthat goes wrong.

“Examples: I saw a man theother day driving in the oppositedirection drinking a bottle ofbeer; I have seen females put-ting on make-up while drivingwith a cup of coffee; I have seendriving while reading newspa-pers or books.

“Speed and attentive span be-havior seem to me to very bigproblems. People seem to forgetthat a ton of metal and plasticcan turn into a weapon, and toomany people are trying to do toomany things in their short timeof day.

“Now that schools are in wemust be aware of those childrenon bikes, in crosswalks, or justgoofing around as kids do.PLEASE, slow down as it maynot only save someones life, butmay help you as an individual alittle longer life.

D.J.

“Distracted driving is aproven killer, whether it is fromdrugs, alcohol, texting, eating ahamburger, or yelling at your

Sept. 5 questionOhio’s ban on texting while

driving is now in effect. Do youthink the law is a good idea andwill it make roads safer? Why orwhy not?

“I can’t think of any legisla-tion that was more of a ‘goodidea’ than Ohio’s ban on textingwhile driving. Rational peoplewouldhope that anyonewhogetsinto a motor vehicle and driveswill be aware of and sensitive tothe risks he may encounter onthe road, even if he is alert andfocusing on driving.

“Butwhensomeone is textingtheir focus is elsewhere, andthat’s just common sense. I wishwedidn’t have to pass laws to getpeople to do smart things, butsometimes you gotta.”

Bill B.

“Every day I’m out in a car Isee around 40 percent of driverswith one hand on the steeringwheel and the other holding aphone. A few times I’ve seendrivers with no hand on thewheel and looking at their laps!

“The law is a good idea, but itwon’t help. Toomanydrivers areaddicted to their phones and ei-ther cannot or will not give upthe practice of distracted driv-ing.

“Besides, the new law doesnotenablepolice topull someoneover just for texting. The policehave to wait until they drive onthe sidewalk or some other in-fraction in order to stop them.

“For all we know the policeand judges are as guilty as therest.”

R.V.

“Anything that distracts youfromdriving is not good. This in-cludes touch screens instead ofknobs and levers to control theHVACandradioonmoderncars.

“Do I think the ban on textingwhile driving will make theroads safer?No. Thepolice don’tenforce the ‘headlights on whenwindshield wipers are on’ law,why would they enforce this?I’ve seen cops driving in heavyrain without their headlights on,I’m sure some cops text anddrive.”

J.S.K.

“While the Constitution, Billof Rights, Ten Commandmentsor rules of baseball simply can'tbe altered, it's nice to keep thelesser things in proper order.”

K.P.

“It is a great law! However, itwill only be as good as enforce-

kids. Anything that reduces itwill make the highways safer.

“The real question iswhetherthe new law will get people tochange their behavior. They willonlydo so if they feel theyhaveareasonable chance of gettingcaught.

“This seems likea 'crime' thatis very difficult to prove unlessthe officer is sitting in the pas-senger seat. How many policewill waste their time stopping atexter when the best they can doiswarn themnot to do it. Textingleaves no physical evidence.”

F.S.D.

“It’s a good idea, but whatabout these lame-brains who lis-ten to their i-Pods or whateverplaying the lousy music whodrive completely oblivious ofthe noises and cars aroundthem? I thought that was illegalto drive with earplugs in one'sears?”

M.D.D.

“The text ban is definitely agood safety measure, although Ithink the legislature went over-board when they included hand-held phones. Phone calls are nomore distracting than talking toa passenger or listening to theradio.

“Making the phone banmightbe more justified if they limitedit to new drivers.”

N.F.

“Good idea, yes it is.Make theroads safer, probably not.

“Not only are the teenagedrivers texting, many adults doit also. Remember back in theearly 2000swhenPalmPilots be-came popular? Same thing hap-pened thenwithPalmsas textingdoes now.

“Onlyway this isgoing to stopis to have people start thinkingabout the recent tragedies andthe impact it has! Serious vehi-cle crashes has lawenforcementsearching vehicles for devicesfor evidence of texting upontheir investigations.”

O.H.R.

“Of course it will make theroads safer, but I don't think thatthe law goes far enough. Iwatched a show last week and itshowed just how distracted weare when we use our cell phonesin the car. Even though we can'tsee the person we are talking to,our minds are somewhere else.On the show it stated that talkingon the phone while driving isnearly as dangerous as drinkingand driving.”

You’ll never run out ofthings to do here.

Yesterday I took dinnerto a friend who was ill. Iwanted to bring a dessertfor the family along withthe meal but didn’t have alot of time, so I decided tomake banana pudding.Now usually I make thepudding from scratch, likea pastry cream, but thatwasn’t going to happenyesterday. So I carried inmy no-bake version and itwas a huge hit. Here’s therecipe for you to try.

Mom’s no-cook bestbanana puddin’

The “mom” in the titleis me. This heirloom reci-pe is an easy dessert thatthe little ones can helpwith and it tastes so good.You can double this recipefor a 9-inch by 13-inch pan.If you double the recipe,use the larger box (5 oz. orso) of pudding. I put minein a smaller casseroledish.

4 oz. cream cheese, softened½ cup sweetenedcondensedmilk (This ishalf of the 14 oz. can.Freeze the leftover milk.)

3.5 oz. package instantvanilla pudding

1½ cups milk1 tablespoonvanilla

2 cups whipping cream,sweetened to taste*,whipped and divided, or16 oz. whipped topping,thawed and divided

3 ripe bananas, slicedAbout half a box of vanillawafers

Put cream cheese andcondensed milk in mixerand blend well. Whiskpudding mix into milk andvanilla, and blend untilsmooth. Add to creamcheese mixture. Blendwell and fold in half thewhipped cream orwhipped topping. Save theother half for garnish.

Make layers in casse-role dish:

Vanilla wafers, bananasand the pudding mixtureon top. Refrigerate at least1 hour before serving or

up to 8hours.Garnishwithwhippedcream andmore wa-fers.

*Tosweetenwhippingcream: Stir

in 1/4 cup powdered sugaror more to taste beforewhipping.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

Sprinkle cocoa powderor shaved chocolate ontop.

Stir in a couple hand-fuls of coconut into thepudding.

Make individual pud-dings in wine glasses.

Rita’s freezer pestoBasil is in season right

now. Make your own pestoand you’ll be happy youdid. This makes a niceamount and is better thananything you can buy. Plusless expensive in the longrun. A great topping forpizza, pastas, soups,breads. Fabulous dollopedon polenta that you’vecooked with a bit of garlicand Romano cheese. Pestois good on just about any-thing! Go to taste on gar-lic. Some people like toleave the cheese out andjust stir it in when thawingout for a brighter flavor.

1 to 1½ teaspoons garlic,minced

¼ cup pine nuts, toasted ifdesired

½ stick unsalted butter½ cup parsley leaves4 cups basil leaves, packed1½ cups Parmesan cheese orto taste

½ to¾ cup extra virgin oliveoil

With food processor’smotor running, add garlicand nuts. Add everythingelse and process untilsmooth. Stays fresh inrefrigerator about a week.

To freeze, either fill icecube tray sections orfreeze in plastic bags,laying them flat on top ofeach other.

Vegetarian blackbeans and rice(hopefully likeSkyline’s)

For the fellow wholoves Skyline’s vegetarian

black beans and rice. Ihope he likes this. I mighttoss in a shake or two ofchili powder too.

1 cup rice2 cans black beans, rinsedand drained

1medium to large onion,diced

2 large cloves garlic, minced½ to 1 teaspoon cumin½ teaspoon oregano or to

tasteSalt to tasteCayenne pepper to taste orchopped jalapeño to taste

Optional garnishes: cilantro,chopped tomato, limejuice, cheese

Cook rice according topackage directions. Whilerice is cooking, sauté on-ion and garlic in a bit ofolive oil. Add beans, cumin

and oregano. Cook untilheated through. Add saltand pepper to taste. Mixwith rice. Garnish as de-sired.

With new, improvedcell phones coming outeach year it’s no wondernearly 500 million phoneswere sold worldwide lastyear alone. But before youbuy a new wireless phoneyou need to know yourrights, just in case some-thing goes wrong.

Cathy Schweitzer ofAlexandria bought threenew phones for herselfand family earlier thisyear. She quickly noticedthere was a problem with

the phoneshe boughtfor herself– it wouldtake toolong to turnon.

Schweit-zer says, “Itook it backon April 2and they

said the problem was theway I was holding thephone. That I was pressingthese two buttons, the

volume and the on-off atthe same time. ‘Don’t dothat,’ they said, ‘and thatshouldn’t happen.’”

But Schweitzer saysshe had even more prob-lems and returned to thecell phone store two moretimes in the first 12 daysshe had the phone. “Theysaid, ‘This is the way theandroid phones work.’Well, the other two phonesI purchased did not.” Shetold that to the cell phoneemployee but he would not

take the phone back.A few weeks later,

when she was back at thestore for another reason,Schweitzer again inquiredabout getting a new phoneto replace the one withwhich she’s continued tohave problems. This timeshe was told the 14-dayreturn policy had expired.

In the meantime,Schweitzer continued tohave billing problems. Herbill shows the companytried to correct it by giv-ing her a credit, but thesame charges also ap-

peared on the new bills.At one point, she says, a

supervisor tried to fix thebilling issues but she sayshe made it worse. Schweit-zer says, “He increasedthe data plans from $19.99to $24.99, so now I’m over-charged on those. I’m stillnot getting the credit, I’mstill being charged for thepromotional officers – andthe phone still doesn’twork.”

I contacted the cellphone company and thecharges on her bill werecorrected. In addition,

she’s now getting a newcell phone free of charge.That’s something she saysshe had been trying to dofor months.

The big thing to re-member when buying anew cell phone is to take itback to the store immedi-ately if there’s a problem.

Northern Hills Syna-gogue - Congregation B’naiAvraham will welcome5773 with the new Conser-vative movement HighHoliday mahzor and a spe-cial Creative Family Ser-vice.

Planning for the adop-tionof thenewprayerbook,“Mahzor Lev Shalem,” be-gan last fall. Since then,Rabbi Gershom Barnard,the congregation’s RitualCommittee, and many in-terested congregants havebeen studying the prayer-book and determining howto best utilize it during thisyear’s services.

“Mahzor Lev Shalem,”published by the Rabbini-cal Assembly in 2010, hasbeen widely applauded forbringing Conservative lit-urgy up to date, includingreferences to the matri-archs alongside the patri-archsasan integral featureof the text, and expressinga contemporary Conserva-tive Jewish religious sensi-bility.

In addition to the tradi-tional text, the prayerbookpresents both a historicaloverview and insight intothe meaning of prayers, anew English translationcloser to themeaningof theoriginal text, and plentifultransliterations.

In addition, the mahzorincludes Hasidic stories,insights from luminariessuch as Abraham JoshuaHeschel andMartin Buber,and readings from contem-porary scholars focusingon spiritual issues andJew-ish values. The congrega-tion solicited donations to

pay for a complete set ofthe mahzorim, and the ef-fort was quickly oversub-scribed.

Rabbi Gershom Bar-nard said, “Thenameof themahzor means ‘wholehearted,’ and it is our hopethat the ‘Mahzor Lev Sha-lem’ will help worshipersexperience the Holidays ina whole hearted way.”

Another highlight willbe theCreativeFamilySer-vice at 10:30 a.m. Monday,Sept. 17, on the first day ofRosh Hashanah, under theleadership of MaksimShilkrot, the congrega-tion’s new director of edu-cation and programming.

The service will focuson the laws associatedwithRosh Hashanah and whywe blow the shofar. Shilk-rot will also also lead a Ju-nior Congregation serviceforyouthat10:30a.m.Tues-day, Sept. 18.

As always, High Holi-day services at NorthernHillswillbe lay ledandpar-ticipatory, featuring thetalents of its congregants.In addition, the NorthernHills Choir, under the di-rection of Claire Lee, willadd their voices to the pow-er and beauty of the ser-vices. No tickets are re-quired.

Northern Hills Syna-gogue isat5714FieldsErtelRoad in Deerfield Town-ship, between I-71 andSnider Road. For more in-formation about the ser-vices, including servicetimes, please contact theSynagogue office at 931-6038.
