He and Kersey are working to be part of that team, raising money for research and the climb to make people more aware of EE. Palmer’s climb will also show that EE doesn’t have to be debilitating. Palmer and Kersey have reached 52 percent of the $17,500 goal and have until April 6 to raise the rest. Kersey says Scott Scher- penberg, a firefighter with the Cheviot Fire Department, and also the owner of The Public House has been a huge help, donating 15 percent of the bill for every patron who men- tioned The Climb4EE. “The Public House has helped me raise over $2,000 so far, all because Scott is such an amazing thoughtful man,” Kersey said. “He just wants to see people succeed.” This fundraiser continues through April 6 at The Public House, 3807 North Bend Road. Let your waitress know you would like your bill to go to the Climb4EE. The newly opened Potbelly Sandwich Works, 9727 Cole- rain Ave., at Northgate Mall is also lending a hand to the cause.

FILE PHOTO Pair raising money for Mt. Kilimanjaro trip By Jennie Key [email protected] WHAT’S EE? The Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders says EE is a digestive system disorder in which eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, are found in above-normal amounts in one or more specific places in the digestive system and/or the blood. When the body wants to attack a substance, such as an allergy-triggering food or airborne allergen, eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, respond by moving into the area and releasing a variety of toxins. But when the body produces too many eosino- phils, they can cause chronic inflammation, resulting in tissue damage. Many EEs sufferers can only eat a hand- ful of foods, as others cause the body to mistakenly send white blood cells to attack their GI tract. Students at Mother of Mercy and McAuley high schools have had a unique opportunity to wrestle with the issue of the death penalty during this school year. It culminates this month with a performance of the pow- erful “Dead Man Walking.” Students will also have the chance to hear Sister Helen Pre- jean, the author of “Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Ac- count of the Death Penalty in the United States,” the book on which the play is based, talk about her experiences. Mother of Mercy Theatre Di- rector Lisa Bodollo initiated the collaboration through the Dead Man Walking School Theatre Project. The project represents the efforts of Sr. Helen and Tim Robbins, director of the film ad- aptation of her book and the stage play. Robbins decided to use the play as a tool to create deeper reflection on the death penalty in our nation’s high schools and colleges, according to Mercy spokeswoman Jenny Jackson. As a result, schools wishing to perform “Dead Man Walking” must also involve at least two other academic de- partments to provide courses related to the death penalty and “Dead Man Walking.” “Not only is this a collabora- tion amongst schools in Cincin- nati, but we’ve extended this be- yond the theater,” said Bodollo, who has been working on the de- tails of the Cincinnati premier performance since last spring. She met with Mercy’s English, religion and social studies de- partment chairs, along with Elizabeth Barkley, chair of the English department at The Col- lege of Mount St. Joseph, and Sister Nancy Bramlage, direc- tor of mission and ministry at the Mount, last summer to de- termine ways to incorporate the issue of capital punishment into the academic curriculum through the school year.

GREENTWP.—Studentsat Oak Hills High Schoolare discovering how sci-ence and technology canbe fun.

A group of 33 studentshas been working sincethe beginning of theschool year to design, en-gineer, build and programa robot for an upcomingrobotics competition atXavier University’s Cin-tas Center.

The students are mem-bers of the high school’srobotics team and theycompete in the FIRST Ro-botics Competition.FIRST is an acronym rep-

resenting“For Inspirationand Recognition of Sci-ence and Technology.”

OakHills senior Rhian-non Zito, Delhi Township,said she and her Scot Botteammates are preparingfor the regional contestMarch 27-29.

“We’re here on theweekends, we’re hereearly before school andwe’re here after schoolworking on our project,”she said.

“This year we havehigh hopes to go to the na-tional championships inSt. Louis, Mo.”

Dan Boles, Oak Hillsengineering teacher andteam adviser, said eachyearFIRSTcomesupwith

a new task for teams tocomplete and gives teamsa very strict set of rulesand parameters to followwhen building their ro-bots.

“Every team receivesthe same base parts,” hesaid. “It’s how you put

those parts together anddesignyourrobot that setsyou apart.”

Zito said this year’scompetition is calledAeri-al Assist, and their task isto build a robot that canpass and catch a 24-inchball. Their goal during the

competition is to workwith other teams and usethe robots to pass the balland toss it through goalsset upat different heights,she said.

She plans to study me-chanical engineering incollege, which is why shejoined the team, but shesaid she also likes the dy-namic of the team andworking with everyone.

“I think I help out byadding a little femininesass to something mainlyguysare interested in,”Zi-to said.

“I like being able tobring organization to theteam.

“And just getting to seeour creation come to life,from seeing it built on thecomputer to actually see-ing the parts in person isawesome.”

Oak Hills junior TylerKallmeyer, Delhi Town-ship, said this is the thirdyear for the school’s ScotBot robotics team.

“My older brotherstarted the team and I be-came interested in it fromwatching him,” he said.

“I like making things,and having the opportuni-ty tosolveacomplexprob-lem is a lot of fun.”

Fun is what Boles saidhe wants his students tohave.

“Science and technol-ogy can be fun,” he said.“It can be a big challenge,but it’s also a lot of fun.”

He also wants them totake away the team-ori-ented process required todesign something com-plex that has more thanone solution and meets abudget, he said.

“That’s how firms engi-neer products,” Bolessaid. “They work in teamsusing science and technol-ogy and math to developnovel new things that re-quire flexibility, they re-quire dedication and com-mitment.”

The Scot Bot roboticsteam has to raise moneyon its own to pay for ma-terials, supplies and com-petition costs, and relieson donations and sponsor-ships.

As many as 100%of all children ins e c o n d t h r o u g h

fifth grade have been givenprescribed the drug Ritalin,even though many of themprobably don’t have attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD). That was theconclusion of researcherswho published their findingsin the American Journal ofPublic Health.A c c o r d i n g t o D r .

LeFever, doctors are overprescribing Ritalin, whichis a psychometric drug anda Class II narcotic. “It’shard to believe this manychildren have the specif ic

brain-related problem calledADHD,” stated Dr. LeFever,an assistant professor ofpediatrics and psychiatryat the Centre for PediatricResearch.Health care advocates say

that doctors are routinelydiagnosing children withADHD even though thereare no clinical tests for thiscondition. Instead, they find iteasier to write a prescriptionfor Ritalin than discuss dietor parenting skills with thechild’s family.According to Peter R.

Breggin, M.D., director ofthe International Centrefor the Study of Psychiatry

and Psychology and facultymembe r a t The John sHopkins University, “Ritalindoes not correct biochemicalimbalances - it causes them.”In his book, “Talking Back

to Ritalin,” he notes that thereis evidence Ritalin can causepermanent damage to thechild’s brain and it’s function.“Pediatricians, parents, andteachers are not aware ofthese hazards because the illeffects of this drug has beenignored and suppressed inorder to encourage the sale ofthis drug,”Dr. Breggin states.Damag ing e ffec t s o f

Ritalin can include:•Decreased blood flow to

the brain, an effect recentlyshown to be caused bycocaine where it is associatedwith impaired thinkingability and memory loss...•Disruption of growth

h o r m o n e , l e a d i n g t osuppression of growth in thebody and brain of the Child...•Permanent neurological

tics, including Tourette’sSyndrome...

•Addiction and abuse,i n c l u d i n g w i t h d r awa lreactions on a daily basis...• P s yc ho s i s (man i a ) ,

d ep r e s s i on , i n s omn i a ,a g i t a t i o n , a n d s o c i a lwithdrawal...• Po s s i b l e s h r i n k a g e

(atrophy) or other permanentphysical abnormalities in thebrain...•Wo r s e n i n g o f t h e

very symptoms the drugis supposed to improveincluding hyperactivity andinattention...•Decreased ability to learn.“ R i t a l i n a n d o t h e r

stimulants are cur rentlyp resc r ibed to mi l l i onsof children in the hope ofimproving their supposedhyperactivity, inattention,and impulsivity,” Bregginwarns. He presents evidencethat these drugs “work” byproducing robotic or zombie-like behaviour in children.This enforced docility andobedience can produce a fewweeks of subdued behaviourbut has no positive effect onacademic achievement and

no positive long-termeffects at all.Contrary to claims by

drug advocates, givingRitalin to a child doesnot help to prevent futureproblems such as schoolfailure or delinquency, heemphasizes.R i t a l i n ’s l a c k o f

effectiveness has beenproven by hundreds ofstudies but has not beenrevea led to doc tors ,t eachers or paren t s .”Parents and teachers andeven doctors have been badlymisled by drug companymarketing practices,” saysBreggin. “Drug companieshave targeted children as thenew market”...Breggin does not believe

that mind-altering drugsare an appropriate approachto helping our children.Instead, he urges adults tolearn to identify and meetthe individual needs of thechildren in their care.Most children receiving

Ritalin have been identifiedfor treatment by teachers who

have been misled by DrugCompany and governmentpromotional campaigns forRitalin and other stimulants.“Educate – don’t medicate,”should be the motto of everyparent or teacher who istempted to resort to Ritalin,Breggin urges.We have been able to help

many children with ADHDwithout reliance on Ritalin.If youwould like additional

CINCINNATI — From smalltown girl to NAIA college vol-leyball player; that’s the storyofGambleMontessori senior Brit-tany Groves.

Groves hails from Camden,Ohio, a town 50 miles north ofCincinnati that boasted a popu-lation of just 2,011 in 2012. Be-grudgingly she made the movesouth toCincinnati sixyearsagowith her mother, Paula, to becloser to family.

“My aunt wanted us to movedown here closer to her and Ididn’t want to move in the firstplace, but we did anyway,”Groves said. “I regretted it atfirst, but now it’s been a bigchange.”

The reason for the change inheart is the game of volleyball.

It’s a game Groves startedplaying for funwithher friends,but has now evolved into a pas-sion that’s led to her officially

becoming a college volleyballplayer after signingwith the In-

diana Institute of TechnologyMarch 13.

“Itmeans a lot,” Groves said,holding back tears after signingher National Letter of Intent.“Going through the past fewyears, moving from a smalltown to the big city, it’s beenrough. After going through allthis; it’s a big day.”

It’s a big day for Groves, butit’s also a big day for Gamble.Theseniorbecomesjust thesec-ond player in school history tosign a NLI and receive scholar-ship money toward a collegeeducation. It’s a feat volleyballcoachMarkRaveplans touseasmotivation in the future.

Joerger knows what he’sup against this season.

“We’re young so I’mgetting surprises everyday,” the coach said.

While some of thoseunderclassmen saw play-ing time during the Bob-cats’ 4-10runaseasonago,Joerger is relying heavilyon his 13 juniors and sen-iors.

Seniors Sarah Heydand Haley Dannemillerare entering their fourthseason on the varsitysquad and will each pro-vide an anchor on eitherside of the ball. Heyd wasthe Bobcats’ second-lead-ing scorer last seasonwith 26 goals to go withher 11 assists. She willfloat around the offensiveside of the field this sea-son.

“She’s someone thatthisyear I’mnot reallygo-ing to bounce her around,but she might be playingup(thefield)morethananattacker would,” Joergersaid. “She’s versatileenough to do that on theoffensive end.”

Dannemiller, alongwith senior goalie TaylorMaas, will provide a pres-enceon thedefensiveend.

“She’s our lockdown ondefense,” Joerger said ofDannemiller, who is also afour-year varsity basket-ball player for the Bob-cats. “She’s the one thatlocks down the crease.Mostgirlsdon’twant togoaround the crease and runinto her.”

Look for senior attack-er Hannah Smith to be aforce on offense afterscoring nine goals lastseason.

Mercy opens the sea-son on the road March 24against Division II foe

SetonWhile losing four of-

fensiveweapons togradu-ation, Drew Burchett’sSeton Saints are stackedon the defensive side ofthe ball.

Senior goalie MorganMasminister is comingoff a season where shewas named Division IIsecond-team all-statehelping the Saints to a11-7record, a second-placefinish in the Girls’ Great-er Catholic League and atrip to the regional semifi-nals.

“We were joking earli-er that she’s in postseasonform from day one whenshe shows up,” Burchettsaid of his goalkeeper.“She’s going to be verygood for us.”

Joining Masministeron defense is senior Mi-kayla Hartoin and sopho-more Shannon O’Conner.

“(Shannon) played lastyear and got a decentamount of playing time,”Burchett said. “She’smadeahuge stepup in theoffseason.”

Senior mid-fielder Col-leen O’Conner, who iscoming off an ACL injuryand missed the Saints’postseason run last year,is the heart of the teamand anchors an offenseledby juniorCarlyStaggeand seniors MichelleMoehring and KellyGallagher.

Stagge led the Saintsand finished third in theGGCL last season with 44goals, earningher second-team all-district honors.

“We have a lot ofyounger girls that arestepping up,” Burchettsaid. “We won’t score allour goals from the mid-field like we did last year.We’ll be much more of anattack oriented offense

this year.”Seton opens the season

on the road against GGCLfoe McAuleyMarch 25.

St. XavierSt. Xavier is coming

off a15-5 season and a tripto the Division I regionalsemifinals where theylost to Moeller.

Coach Nate Sprong re-turns a bevy of weaponson offense, including sen-ior attacker MaxMcLaughlin who was theteam’s second-leadingscorer each of the pasttwo seasons.

Fellow senior attackerBen McCormack, a HighPoint University commit,is also back, along withsenior midfielders JackCaudill, Daniel Carroll,Luke Recker and IanSagester.

Caudill was a first-team All-Midwest honor-ee last season, while Car-roll earned Under Ar-mour All-Midwest hon-ors.

On the defensive end,seniors Connor Jones – aJohn Carroll Universitycommit – and ChandlerTodd – a Haverford Col-lege commit – are ones tokeep an eye on.

Look for junior attack-er/midfielder WilliamHolcomb and sophomoreGriffin Buczek to bebreakout players forSprong this season.

“This team has boughtinto the emphasis of play-ing hard, playing withpassion and having agreat understanding of allthe schemes that we’reutilizing whether it’s of-fense, defense, riding orclearing,” Sprong said.“With great senior leader-ship the focus of beingun-selfishandfundamentallysound while being goodcommunicators is estab-lishing an enthusiastic,team-first concept.”

Police neededin several places

I would like to comment onthe viewpoint from Dan Boller,“Police station needed where itis.”

I live in Westwood and Iagree with Dan that the policestation is definitely needed inPrice Hill.

SinceDistrict 3 is thehighestcrime area in the city I believethedollarscouldbebetter spenton satellite stations as opposedto building a new place. Thereare plenty of empty buildingsaround in District 3 that couldbe occupied by a satellite sta-tion or stations. Have theythought of using oneof the emp-ty buildings in Glen Crossing?

There is plenty of crime go-ing on in Westwood also. And,whataboutFairmount? I’msurethey could use a satellite stationthere also.

Whydoes everything have tobebig andnew. It seems tome ifthe police were spread outaround the district they mighthave a better handle on what istaking place right where theyare.

Our city is already $18 mil-lion (?) in debt. Does City Coun-cil ever ask what the peoplewhatwant or is it onlywhatCityCouncil want? They sure didn’tlisten towhat thepeoplewantedwhen it came to the street cars,which is an expense we cannotafford.

LETTERS TO THEEDITOR

As a lifelong resident ofGreen Township, I have apassion for this community.This is the place in which Igrew up and plan to raise afamily of my own.

I want our township to bethe preferred choice for peo-ple to live and raise families.I will achieve this objectivewith four areas of focus.

»Maintain quality police,fire and EMS services: Ourcommunity deserves secureneighborhoods where resi-dents can raise their childrenand enjoy daily living. Bettersafety services will always bemy priority in Green Town-ship.

»Maintain and/or improveproperty values: 87 percent ofthe homes in Green Townshipare owner occupied accord-

ing to the 2010census. Thatmeans thatalmost everyhome inGreen Town-ship is themost impor-tant asset inthat family’sportfolio. Iwill protect

your property values and tryto improve property valuesby continuing to resurfaceresidential streets, support-ing good schools, and encour-aging positive commercialdevelopments.

» Stimulate economic de-velopment: We have beenextremely fortunate to haveMercy Health, Christ Hospi-tal, Children’s Hospital, and

Tri-Health invest millions ofdollars in newmedical officebuildings and in a new state-of-the-art hospital. Theseinvestments are greater thanany other local government insouthwestern Ohio has seenover the past six years. Nowwe must continue to improvespecific major roadway in-tersections and try to attractmore desirable restaurantsand commercial establish-ments. I will work hard withthe other trustees to incentiv-ize restaurants and otherbusinesses to consider GreenTownship in their next expan-sion plans.

»Keep real estate taxeslow: Green Township alreadyhas one of the lowest “effec-tive tax rates” in HamiltonCounty (8.67 mills in 2013).

My goal is to keep the tax ratelow. I will always thoroughlyresearch alternatives to realestate taxes and try to stopthe incessant raiding of localgovernment funds by thestate. Green Township willlose a minimum of $3 millionper year due to changes instate law that created annualreductions in local tax reve-nues.

I will work extremely hardon your behalf to ensureGreen Township continues tobe one of the best communi-ties in southwestern Ohio. Ilook forward to serving theresidents of this township.

Helping the environmentdoesn’t have to be expensiveor difficult. One of the easiestways to help improve our airquality is to avoid idling yourvehicle when parked or not inuse.

Idling wastes money andnatural resources, affects theenvironment and harms ourhealth.

Thirty seconds of idlingcan use more fuel than turn-ing off the engine and re-starting it. Not idling a vehi-cle is a quick and easy way tosave money.

Vehicle exhaust containscarbon monoxide, nitrogendioxide, particulate matterand volatile organic com-pounds, all of which at cer-tain levels can harm the envi-ronment and our health.

Remember to turn yourengine off at the ATM, activerailroad crossings and whilewaiting to pick-up friendsand family. Children are par-

ticularly sus-ceptible toemissionsfrom idlingvehicles be-cause theirrespiratorysystems arestill devel-oping andthey breatheat a fasterrate than

adults.We can all help to improve

the environment, save a littlemoney, and breathe easier byturning off our engines whilewe wait.

The Obama Administrationplans to shrink our military tolevels we haven’t seen sincebefore World War II. So, is theworld a safer place? Hardly.

Turmoil engulfs much ofthe world. Syria continues tounravel, threatening vitalU.S. interests throughout theregion. Iran, the world’s big-gest supporter of terrorism,is determined to acquire nu-clear weapons, despite theObama Administration’snaïve plan to slow Iran’s nu-clear program by easingsanctions. Iraq is comingapart at the seams. NorthKorea continues to be a men-ace, with a madman at thehelm.

And China, that bastion offreedom and democracy, isengaged in an unprecedentedmilitary build-up, which willmake their military a directthreat to ours in the very nearfuture. China has had double-digit growth in militaryspending every year for thelast 25 years!

Recently,in addition tothreatening tooccupy andconfiscateislands frommany of theirneighbors,China de-clared, with-out a legalright to do so,

an air-defense zone in theregion, demanding aircraftfrom other countries (in-cluding the U.S.) report toChina when flying throughthis zone, or risk being shotdown. Based on these actions,it certainly appears that Chi-na, like much of the world,sees the Obama Administra-tion as weak, indecisive, andin retreat.

Meanwhile, as China ag-gressively expands its mil-itary capabilities, and growseconomically and militarilystronger, President Obamaproposes to weaken our de-fense forces.

Here are some of the num-bers. The Obama Administra-tion has proposed a 13 percentcut in the Army, a 5 percentcut in the Reserve, and thecomplete elimination of theAir Force’s A-10 “Warthog”tank-killer aircraft as well asour U-2 spy planes.

The direction PresidentObama has set for the Navy isarguably even worse. Where-as Ronald Reagan famouslyadvocated a 600-ship Navyand, as president, increasedour number of ships to wellover 500, the Obama Admini-stration has us down to 283ships, and shrinking! He eventried to eliminate one of our11 aircraft carriers. Fortu-nately, he has backed off thatproposal for now, becauseevery one of our carriers iscritical to project Americanpower around the globe.

As a member of Congress,and as an American, the thingI find so frustrating aboutthis president is that he’s finethrowing money at bloated

stimulus packages, welfareprograms, and the bottomlesspit of Obamacare; but when itcomes to our one critical gov-ernment expenditure, ournation’s defense, he grabs achainsaw and cuts away. It’swrong-headed, it’s short-sided, and it’s dangerous.

The purpose of a strongdefense is having it ready ifwe need it. But even moreimportantly, a strong defense,ideally, avoids military actionaltogether, because potentialenemies fear the conse-quences of initiating aggres-sion. Peace through strength.

Fortunately, Congress willhave to approve PresidentObama’s proposed defensecuts. He won’t get my vote,but with this president, wehave to be prepared for thepossibility that he tries tocircumvent the law, and theConstitution, and act by exec-utive order.

made with fruit andcream. I was too shy toask any more about it,and when it arrived atour table I thought hebrought me somebodyelse’s dessert. Since thenI’ve made it many times.My current favorite isthis recipe that I adaptedfrom Alton Brown.3⁄4 cup whipping cream1generous tablespoonsugar

1⁄2 cup sour cream or bitmore to taste

3 cups mini marshmallows1 cup tangerine segments,cut into halves

1 cup pineapple tidbits,drained

1 cup coconut1 cup pecans, toasted andchopped coarsely

3⁄4 to 1 cup drainedmaraschino cherry halves

Whip cream and sugaruntil soft peaks form.Blend in sour cream andthen stir in everythingelse. Chill in refrigeratora couple hours beforeserving.

Donna Goulet’s 7-Upcake

I’ve had this recipe inmy file since last sum-mer fromDonna and waswaiting for the right timeto share it. Donna hashad this recipe for a longtime – she cut it out ofthe newspaper. Donnasaid: “It is delicious. AWest-sider all my lifeuntil recently we movedto Erlanger, Ky. Reallyenjoy your column andlook forward to it everyweek.” Well, Donna, Ienjoy sharing reader’srecipes and this one wasa big hit. So nice forspringtime entertaining.It stayed moist, covered,at room temperature forseveral days. The onlything I did different isthat I made a simpleglaze instead of makingthe frosting that Donnasuggests. If you makeher frosting, I wouldstore the cake in the frig.

1box (two-layer size) yellowcakemix

1box (four-serving size)instant vanilla orpineapple puddingmix

mer after a sewer backupat her Alexandria homelate last year.

“We came home to aweird smell and wentdownstairs and noticedsome puddles,” Kramersaid. That’s when Kramerand her husband, Daniel,founded their basementwas flooded with severalinches of sewer water.

“The water was actu-ally gushing up throughthe sewer,” she said. Aplumber was soon able todetermine their sewerline to the street wasclear; it was the san-itation district’s main linethat was clogged up.“There were deep treeroots that had grownthrough the lines,” Kra-mer said.

In addition to replac-ing the tile on the base-ment floor, as well as thecarpet, the Kramers hadto replace drywall be-cause everything wasdamaged by that sewerwater. Northern Ken-tucky Sanitation DistrictNo. 1, known as SD-1,came out and fixed thesewer line, but won’t payfor the Kramers’ damage.

“They came out andsaid, ‘Yes, it was definite-ly their fault,’ but since

It’s a problem that’splagued the Tristate foryears – sewers backingup into area homes. Sev-eral years ago a federalcourt ordered the Cincin-nati Metropolitan Sewer

District to pay to clean upsewer back-up damage,but that hasn’t solved theproblem everywhere.

Sewer backups canoccur just about every-where and they can not

only damage your base-ment, but your belong-ings as well. Unless youprotect yourself, youcould be stuck with hugecleanup bills. That’s whathappened to Karla Kra-

they didn’tactuallyknow (theblockage)was therethey werenot atfault,”Kramersaid. Fortu-nately, theKramers

have sewer backup insur-ance as part of theirhomeowner’s coverage.But they only had $5,000coverage and the damageto their home and belong-ings exceeded $12,000.

SD-1Director DaveRager said that whilesuch backups are un-fortunate, they do hap-pen.

“It is not uncommonthat it happens in oursystem. We try to keep upwith the system but theydo happen. That’s part ofthe reason why so manyutilities are owned by thegovernment, the chal-lenge of maintainingsystems like this,” Ragersaid.

Rager said the sewerdistrict will be checkingthe lines in Kramers’neighborhood every sixmonths to make sure theyremain clear. Unlike the

Cincinnati MetropolitanSewer District, SD-1’sfederal court decreedoesn’t require it to payfor undetected sewer lineproblems.

“We have 700 miles oflines. That’s almostenough to go from coastto coast,” Rager said.

The Kramers havenow increased their sew-er back-up insurance andthis is something allhomeowners should con-sider – especially thosewith a finished basement.In addition, those whorent homes should checktheir renter’s insurancepolicy.

A Forest Park mansaid although he has rent-er’s insurance, his policydidn’t cover the recentsewer backup damage tohis belongings. So, be-cause many renters’policies don’t automat-ically include sewerbackup coverage, youneed to ask for this pro-tection.

‘An Evening with Pete Rose’ to benefit Incline Theater Project

The Women’s Connec-tion, a resource centerdedicated to empoweringand educatingwomen andgirls to make positivechoices for better lives,will close its doors at 4042Glenway Ave., Price Hill,Friday, April 30.

After months of seri-ous and painstaking dis-cussion and analysis, TheWomen’s ConnectionBoard of Trustees votedFeb. 27 to take this action.

“TheWomen’s Connec-tion is committed to help-ing women and girls lookat options when facedwith life’s many chal-lenges,” Board PresidentSister Thelma Schlomer,SC, said. “This decisionrequired the members ofthe board to do the same.Having weighed our op-

tions, we are acting in thebest interest of ourpartic-ipants and all who haveworked tirelessly at andfor The Women’s Connec-tion. Those who are com-ing to ourdoorwill nowbedirected appropriatelyduring this transition.”

Over the past fewyears, The Women’s Con-nection has reduced staffand expenses, increasedfundraising and exploredpossible mergers and col-laborations that would al-low the center to continueto serve the women andgirls of Cincinnati’s westside. Like so many non-profit organizations, thedownturn in the economystarting in 2008 seriouslyaffected income. The re-ality is that The Women’sConnection does not have

the funds to continue, norare thereprospects for in-comingmonies thatwouldsustain the center beyonda month-to-month exis-tence.

The Women’s Connec-tion was founded in 1997and since that time hasserved thousands ofwom-en and girls, giving themhope and confidence,pointing them toward ap-propriateresources,guid-ing them to positive deci-sions, and offering oppor-tunities for education andsocialization.

“We are proud of thework The Women’s Con-nection has accomplishedover these 17 years andwish only the best for thewomen and girls of Cin-cinnati’s Westside com-munity,” Schlomer said.
