Homeschooler GraceBalbo of Hyde Park willturn13 before “Cinderella”wraps up. She said her ex-perience in “The MusicMan” on the Showboat Ma-jestic and other perfor-mances prepared her forthe current Covedalemusi-cal.

It was fairly easy toadapt “Cinderella” for theholidays, according to Per-rino. “First and foremost,you set it at Christmastime, and you put in a chil-dren’s chorus and carol-ing,” he explained. Thechildren also dance, and es-cort Cinderella to the ballas horses and coachmen.

All of the young actorsare familiar with the per-forming arts, whether dra-

Kellie Sheets says she’sliving her life one day at atime.

The 33-year-old said it’sthe only way to live whileshe’s battling colon cancer.

“Mygoal is to liveasnor-mally as Ican,” shesaid.

ForSheets anormal lifeincludesworking asa schoolpsycholo-gist at

Bridgetown Middle Schooland spending time with her7-year-old son Asher.

In September, just amonth after starting her“dream job,” she was diag-nosedwithStage IIICcoloncancer after a colonoscopyrevealed a large tumor.

“I was really exhausted

all summer. I have 10 stepsgoinguptomyhouseandbythe time I would get to thetop of the steps I was out ofbreath and thought I wasgoing to have a heart at-tack,” she said. “I went tothe doctor and he sent mestraight to the emergencyroombecause Iwas severe-ly anemic and they startedrunning tests. They foundthat Ihadaprettyadvancedtumor. The cancer had al-ready spread to my lymphnodes and to some fatty tis-sue in my abdomen.”

To try to stop the cancerfrom spreading, Sheetsstarted chemotherapy. Shegoes to chemotherapy ev-ery twoweeksandwillhave12 treatments overall.

“I’m a third of the waythrough,” she said andsmiled.

In March, the doctorswill check to see if the che-motherapystopped thecan-cer from spreading. If ithas, she will be monitoredover the next five years tomake sure it doesn’t comeback.

“The doctors are givingme a lot of positive mes-sages,” she said. “But no

oneever says, ‘You’regoingto be cancer free inMarch,’because they don’t knowthat for sure but I thinkthey’re optimistic.”

Sheets said she does herbest to keep her mind offcancer.

Bridgetown MiddleSchool counselor Teri Landsaid that Sheets always hasa smile on her face.

“She’s suchagoldenper-son,” she said. “She doesn’tever complain and this has

taken a toll on her. I knowevery day she struggleswith not feeling well andwhen the kids come in,there’s nothing to do withher. It’s all about them.”

Teachers in Ohio willnow be evaluated by a newteacher evaluation systemestablished by the state.The first evaluations usingthe system will be made inthe 2013-14 school year.

Teachers can receiveone of four ratings basedequally on teacher perfor-mance and student growth:ineffective, developing,proficient and accom-plished.

In order to provide eval-uations, administratorsand some teachers will be-

come credentialed throughthe Ohio Department ofEducation. Representa-tives fromtheOakHillsLo-cal SchoolsDistrict recent-ly attended a training ses-sion to become creden-tialed evaluators.

“Weneed a common lan-guage. One of the purposesof this is to have a commonlanguage and an under-standing of instruction,”OhioDepartmentofEduca-tion trainer Monica Mittersaid. “It’s a growth system.It’s to be communicated tothe teachers.”

Teachers receive evalu-ations on instructionalplanning which includes:content knowledge, knowl-edge of students, lesson de-livery, differentiation todeliver instruction based

on individual studentneeds, classroom environ-ment, assessment of stu-dent learning and profes-sionalism.

Mitter explained thatteacher performance rat-ings are a result of at leasttwo 30-minute observa-tions andmultiple informalobservations less than 30minutes, often classified aswalk-throughs in differentdistricts. Teachers ratedineffective will be placedon an improvement plan.

“Our stakeholders needto be informed of the newrigor for evaluating teach-er effectiveness in Ohio,”Oak Hills superintendentTodd Yohey said. “Schooldistricts will be reportingthe effectiveness of teach-ers to the state.”

Oak Hills High SchoolAP psychology studentswelcomed College ofMount St. Joseph associateprofessor Tracy Reed 12 totheir classroom recently.

The hands-on presenta-tion tied into the learningmaterials they are taughtby their teacher MandyRice.

Reed, along with someof her pupils from the Col-legeofMountSaint Joseph,brought real human brainswith them during her neu-roscience presentation.

The visit afforded thethe students the opportuni-ty to talk to a college pro-fessor and students work-ing in the field that theyarestudying. It also offered

them a chance to physical-ly see and handle the brain,which is what they arelearning about.

“Each year Dr. Reedbrings a great presentationto our AP psychology stu-dents,” Rice said. “Theyget to experience hands on,exactly what they’ve beenlearning about for weeks,and then apply that infor-mation. Not very oftendoes anyone get to saythey’ve held a human brainin their hands.”

Reed’s visit created viv-idmemories thatwill neverbe forgotten by the stu-dents who got hands-onbrain experience that day.

“It was really cool tohave a guest speaker from

MountSaint Joseph.Wenotonly learned a lot of newstuff about the brain, butabout the college too,” saidjunior Kaellie Korman.“The college students whocame with Dr. Reed werereally helpful and the classwasvery thankful that theycame for Brain Day.”

“Iwaskindofnervousatfirst about being in thesame room as humanbrains, but I learned newinformation and it sur-prised me - the brain is ac-tually smaller than Ithought,” added junior Sa-brina Peters.

Reed isanassociatepro-fessor in Mount St. Jo-seph’s department of biolo-gy.

Coming off a second-place fin-ish in the Greater CatholicLeagueandgraduatingboth statewrestlers from last season, Mc-Coy likeswhat he isworkingwiththis season.

“I do like that we have someexperience returning,” McCoysaid. “We do not have the high-

profile kid coming back but wehave a lot of kids who haveworked hard in the offseason andany one of them, if not all, couldemerge as some of the top kids inthe area.”

The Panthers started theirseason Dec. 1 at the Elder Duals.

In Monfort Heights, the LaSalle Lancerswill begin lifewith-outMax Byrd, who set the schoolrecord by earning his 160th winlast winter.

Head coachAvery Zerkle saidthe Lancers will have a largefreshman class, and that varsitynewcomer Sam Kreider could bea factor this postseason if he’sable to make weight at 106pounds.

Senior AnthonyMilano shouldset a strong example for theLancers’ youthful squad.

Milano entered the year with93 career victories and placedeighth at last year’s state meetwhile competing at 113 pounds.

The Oak Hills Highlandersgraduated three all-league wres-

tlers from last season, but returnsix who saw significant mat timein 2011-12.

Leading coach Joe Campolon-go in his second season with theHighlanders will be senior TimFort, whowas13-12 at138-poundsa season ago.

JuniorsDallasBurkeandAlexDupps will join sophomores Aus-tin Elliott and Blake Sullivan toround out the top five Highland-ers.

Burke was 9-13 at 145-pounds,while Elliott and Sullivan went acombined 9-27 at 106- and 113-pounds respectively.

“The hardwork these kids areputting in right now is tremen-dous,” Campolongo said. “Theyare excited to begin a new yearthat features varsity tourna-ments in Columbus and Toledo,where theywill see the best com-petition that Ohio has to offer.”

TheHighlanders started theirseasonDec.1at theBellefontaineDuals.

Tim McDonald is back for hisfourth season at St. Xavier andwill be looking for the Bombers’first Greater Catholic League ti-tle since 2001-2002.

There were several inaccu-racies in David Voss’ letter tothe editor. The Cheviot tax levywas not a resounding defeat.The vote was 54-46 percent.

He is correct that a majorityof citizens appreciate the cur-

rent city ser-vices and thatthe majoritycannot affordadditional tax-es. However,unlike the fed-eral govern-ment, the citycannot operateat a deficit. Ourbudget must bebalanced everyyear. As report-

ed at council and committeemeetings, public hearings, andin the Press, the city is facing anestimated $600,000 shortfall in2013. Something has to give –increase revenue, decreaseexpenditures or both.

Council took it to the voters.We invited input at five publichearings. An overwhelmingmajority of those who attendeddid not want services cut. Coun-cil decided to put the tax levybefore the voters and cut the2012 budget by $110,000 withfurther cuts to be discussed for2013. Council at that time decid-ed not to enact a trash fee, but tolet the voters decide on the taxlevy.

It is true that council has theauthority to enact a trash feewithout a vote of the citizens.What is not true is that a trashfee can be placed on the ballot.Council asked and was informed

by the board of elections that anissue that can be decided bycouncil cannot be voted on bythe citizens. That is why Councilchose the tax levy route, so itwould be on the ballot.

Since the levy failed, the citystill faces the deficit. How dowe deal with it? We still wantyour input. Budget cuts are stillbeing made. What services areyou willing to do without?

At the finance committeemeeting on Nov. 27 the commit-tee decided that the deficit mustbe met in part by the enactmentof a city services fee. The ordi-nance will be introduced at thecouncil meeting on Tuesday,Dec. 4. There will be a secondreading at a special councilmeeting on Tuesday, Dec. 11 at 7p.m., and a final reading at thecouncil meeting on Dec. 18. Weinvite all citizens to attend thesemeetings and voice your ques-tions, concerns, suggestions andcomments, or to obtain addition-al information. In addition, aninformational sheet will bedistributed to each home theweekend of Dec. 8. Finally, allcouncil members can be con-tacted via e-mail. Check thecity’s website www.cheviot.orgfor those addresses.

Council is not trying to“backdoor” any fees or taxes.We brought the issue to thecitizens and bring it to youagain. We are working hard toassure that your city dollars arespent in the most responsibleway.

Deborah M. Slaughter is the CheviotCouncil president.

Help from an ‘angel’I would like to express my

thanks and gratitude to the “an-gel” who rescuedme onMondaymorning Nov. 26 in the parkinglot of Mercy Medical BuildingWestern Hills.

Iwas takingmywife,whohasdementia and diabetes, to hereye appointment but was unableto get her from the car seat intothe wheelchair, as she cannotstandand isverydifficult tohan-dle. I didn’t know what to do, asshe was half in the car and halfout while I was struggling to lifther into the wheelchair but shewas too much for me.

Out of nowhere appeared astranger who lifted her into thewheelchair andwheeled her intothe doctor’s office on the thirdfloor. Upon leaving, I tried tofind the hospital trolley volun-teer for help in getting my wifeback into the car and just as Ifound him the stranger ap-peared again and got my wifeback into the car. This gentle-manwanted to be sure that Iwasable to get my wife home safelyand secure and,withmypermis-sion, followedmehome, broughtmy wife into the house and seat-ed her on her special motorizedrecliner.

The gentleman had showedme his ID as an employee ofAT&T and was driving their ve-hicle. The only other thing I re-member is that his first name isGary and he lives onWildernessTrail.

Prideful photosMy congratulations to the

Western Hills Press for display-

ing the photos by Kurt Back-scheider of the Veterans Dayprogram at Taylor High School.

The pictures showed a levelof pride and solemnity from theyoung vet, the saluting vet, theinjured vet and the older vets,who were surely reliving theirtimes away from home facingunknown dangers. Their com-mitment showed on their faces.The bagpipe player looked as ifhe were leading the battalion,the flag bearer heading thetroops with enthusiasm and en-ergy. What a display of honor sorichly deserved by all.

While speaking of honor sorichly deserved, the studentsand staff ofTaylor shouldbegiv-en a commendation for theirtime and energy in presentingthis tokenofesteemtoourveter-ans.

A nice piece of work every-body.

Bump in the roadThe January 2013 fiscal cliff

is all over the news, namely, howRepublicans refuse to compro-mise. The truth is, if this countrycannot absorb a 7 percent acrossthe board cut in spending it au-thenticates just how bad oureconomy is. The January cliff isnothing but a bump in the roadcompared to the financial cliffon the horizon.

IfDemocratswouldhave tak-en a moratorium pledge on ear-marks when they took control ofCongress in 2007, today’s deficitwould be 10 percent less. Be-tweenJanuary2007andSeptem-ber 2008, Democrats increasethe rate of deficit spending by$36million per hour. This spend-

ing was ludicrous and historywill show that it, along with the“nodocumentation loan,”causedthe 2008 financial meltdown.

On top of all that spending,what did the Pelosi/Reid greedinfested cesspool do when the2008 meltdown came; they hadanearmarkgastrointestinal par-ty that added $200 billion to theTARP bill.

If we give Democrats moretax money without tying theirhands with a balance budgetamendment, they will look at itas a mandate to keep spending.With thisgroupofDemocratsweare dealing with corruption theworld has never seen before.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Bert Lugannani was a Cin-cinnati fireman for 43 years,who worked his way up theladder to become fire chief. He

inherited hiswork ethic andsense of ad-venture fromhis grandpar-ents.

His grand-father, Chris-topher Colum-bus Luganan-ni, was born inGenoa, Italy,in 1836. Justlike Christo-

pher Columbus, Chris Luganna-ni wanted adventure. The 8year old found it when he hidaboard one of his uncle’s mer-chant ships. He landed on theeast coast of the United Statesand hid so he wouldn’t have togo back to Italy. He worked atodd jobs in various towns untilhe was 35 years old and then hemarried Viola Brown.

It was in his grandfather’shouse that Bert was born in1914. His parents Charles andLillie were living there on anold homestead in Mount EchoPark. The land had just beendonated to the park departmentand Chris was working as thefirst park policeman.

Bert’s mother, Lillie, was thedaughter of Edward Free, whowas a German of PennsylvaniaDutch decent. Grandpa Freeworked on riverboats and was acoppersmith. Lillie’s grand-mother was the wife of JohnWilson who at one time ownedthe Anderson Ferry.

Bert’s family moved toSteiner Avenue in Sedamsville,

but returned to Mount EchoPark because his grandmotherwas ill. By 1920 both grandpar-ents were dead and the familymoved to Riverside on theriverfront. His father was afisherman, and the four broth-ers spent many hours on theriver rowing across the riverand diving.

His parents were divorcedwhen he was 16, so he had towork and help support hismother and brothers. He laidthe telephone line betweenCincinnati and Covington onthe bottom of the river. Whenhe was finished with that hescaled the Carew Tower andput up a flag pole.

Bert wanted to be a police-man, but a friend was going totake the fire exam and askedhim to go along. He passed andbegan his fire career in 1937.He became a lieutenant in 1941,a captain in 1947, a fire mar-shall in 1951, assistant fire chiefin 1957, a chief in 1966, andretired in 1980.

When he was a captain hewas stationed at Sayler Parkfirehouse. It was after the warand veterans were cominghome to limited job prospects.Bert and his crew were recruit-ing men they thought wouldmake good firemen. Theyfound Smokie Eversole walkinghome after an exhausting dayat the dam. They told him aboutthe fireman test. They told him,“He would never get rich, buthe would never starve either.”Smokie took the test and passedit. He started his 35 year careerand eventually became an as-sistant fire chief under Bert. Atone time there were two assis-

tant fire chiefs and the chief allliving in Sayler Park, plus a lotof other firemen.

Bert’s wife Dorothy died ofcancer in the 1969, leaving himalone with three children. Afew years later he marriedShirley his wife’s nurse andthey had another child.

In his 34 year as a firemanBert made many changes. Thefireman started riding insidethe truck instead of hanging onthe back. He helped develop afire science degree at Univer-sity Cincinnati, established theparamedic and hazardouswaste materials programs, andexpanded the fire preventionand investigation programs.

In my house, you’renever too young, or old, tohave a stocking hung onthe mantle for St. Nicholasto fill.

When we were kids, wehung ours (and theyweren’t the fancy ones Ihave today but our regularsocks) on our bedposts. A

pomegran-ate wasincluded ifit fit mom’sbudget, andI carry onthat tradi-tion today.Yesterday,the littleones hungtheir stock-ings up and

4-year-old granddaughterEva, who has a 4-month-old sister, Emerson, said“I’ll share mine with Em.”Now that’s what the holi-days are about!

Easy peanut brittleThis is not as sweet as

the kind of brittle that youbuy. I’ve used both lightand dark corn syrup andthe dark is what my fam-ily prefers, but use what-ever you have on hand.This recipe does not con-tain baking soda, whichgives some peanut brittlethe customary honeycombtexture. Now dependingupon the kind of pan youuse (I used a stainlesssteel), it may take a littlelonger or shorter time tomake the candy than therecipe calls for. Check outmy blog – abouteating.com– for step-by-step photos.1⁄2 stick unsalted butter1⁄2 cup sugar2 tablespoons corn syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla1 to 11⁄2 cups nuts: yourfavorite (We like saltedmixed nuts)

Spray cookie sheet.Over medium heat, stirbutter, sugar, corn syrupand vanilla until melted,smooth and bubbly. Coverand cook one minute. Stirin nuts, raise heat to medi-um high and cook, stirringconstantly, until nuts arefragrant, lightly brownedand the mixture is verygolden, about five min-utes. What happens is themixture will reach thehard crack stage (300degrees). If you put a bitin a glass of cold water, itwill make a hard ball.Immediately pour ontocookie sheet, spreadingthinly as possible. Asprayed offset spatula orbutter knife helps here.Cool until hard, about 15minutes, then break intopieces. Keep covered atroom temperature.

Perfect roast beefGood for that holiday

sirloin tip or similar roast,not chuck, which needs tobe roasted differently. Anunconventional way ofroasting. Cranking up theoven to 475 developsmoist, flavorful meat. Yes,you may have some splat-ter in the oven, but thatshould clean up OK.

3-4 pounds beef roast (seeabove)

Preheat oven to 250degrees. Season with saltand pepper and brown onall sides in oil in ovenproofpan (or scrape up brownbits and place all in roast-ing pan). Roast until tem-

perature reaches 110 de-grees, 45-60 minutes or so.Leave in oven and in-crease heat to 475 de-grees. Cook until temper-ature reaches 120 degreesfor rare, 125 for mediumrare or 130 for medium.This will take up to 30minutes or so. Check after20 minutes. Remove fromoven, tent with foil and letrest 15 minutes. Servewith pan juices.

Tips from Rita’s kitch-en

Put several slivers ofgarlic in meat.

Add a little dry redwine or beef broth duringlast 20 minutes.

Healthy sweetpotato fries

A good time of year tomake this since sweetpotatoes are good buys inseason. I’ll add a pinch ofcayenne if making foradults. Let kids help tosstogether and talk abouteating “from the Gardenof Eden,” the brighter thecolor of the veggie, thebetter it is for you!

4 sweet potatoesCanola or olive oil

Salt to tasteCayenne pepper, optional (Alittle goes a long way)

Preheat oven to 425degrees. Spray cookiesheet. Peel potatoes, cutinto wedges. Put in bowland toss with a couple orthree tablespoons oil.Place single layer onsheet, sprinkle with sea-soning, and bake 20 min-utes. Turn potatoes overand bake until golden andtender, about 20 minutes.If potatoes are cut thin,they may take less time; ifthicker, a bit more.

You have a house fireand your home needsmajor repairs. Althoughyou’re fully insured, youcan still run into prob-lems that can bring youclose to bankruptcy.That’s what an area manfears may happen to him.

Daniel VanDean hasowned a house in HiddenValley Lake for the pasttwo years. In February,there was a fire in thelower level of his house.

“The smoke got up intothe walls, into the in-sulation, and basicallythe whole house had to begutted completely,” hesaid.

VanDean hired a con-tractor to do most of the

repairs.“He wasgiven twochecks.One ofthem, for$15,000 toget started,and thenanother for$25,000 tocontinue

the work,” he said.But, although the job

was to have been com-pleted in August, it wasfar from completemonths later.

VanDean says helearned a lot of the work-ers weren’t getting paidand liens were being filedagainst his home. “So, out

of that $40,000 the con-tractor kept the $40,000.

“I’m paying for therest of the work out of myown pocket. This is goingto leave me quite a bit ofmoney short finishing myhouse,” VanDean said.

VanDean’s insuranceagent looked at the workthat had been performedand wrote a letter sayinghe felt the work was sub-standard. In one case, hefound a used vanity hadbeen installed in one ofthe bathrooms. That van-ity has since been re-placed with a new one,but VanDean says it tookmore than a week for himto correct constructionproblems.

It turns out most of theconflict with the contrac-tor is over work VanDeansays he never authorized.He says the problem is,“It wasn’t in writing. Itwas ‘word of mouth’ andthat’s where the legalsystem says I should havehad it in writing.”

So I called the contrac-tor who took issue withthe quality of his work,saying it did pass a coun-ty inspection. He saysthere was a signed agree-ment but admits a lot ofwork was done with just averbal OK. He says thatextra work added moretime to the job.

So protect yourselfwhen hiring a contractor.Get written estimatesfrom three contractors.Then make sure the con-tract you sign includesany changes, in writing,and make certain it stateswho pays for the materi-als and subcontractors sothere’s no question aboutit later.

Faith in others beginswith faith in yourself;faith in yourself isstrengthened by faithin God. It has been said that faith is nota substitute for thought, but the basis for

thinking. Faith is taking our doubts into consideration andrendering a verdict in favor of belief...

Because one has faith does not mean he cannot question ordoubt.The person who has some doubts rolling around in hismind will be learning, experiencing and discovering new andbetter things. Doubts can cause one to come upon excitingbeliefs and truths.

Faith or belief is an instrument of vast power ready for usto use. Something seems to happen to a man when he getsthe idea of achievement into his mind and holds it there.Successful people are usually those whoover the years have firmly believed in theirultimate success. Inventors are people whopress toward a goal, confident that they canachieve it. Columbus had faith that there wasa new world beyond the western horizon. Byhis belief, he laid hold on that new world...

“All things are possible to them thatbelieve.”...

Local children in‘The Nutcracker’

This year’s Children’sWorkshop production of“SnowWhite and theSev-en Dwarfs of the BlackForest” through the Sun-set Players is a family af-fair for theMyers family.

Dave Myers, the fam-ily’s patriarch who livesin Delhi Township, hasbeen a long-time fixturewith the Sunset Players,serving in every imagin-able role for the commu-nity theater group. Hisdaughter, Trisha Myers,of Loveland, has beenseen both on-stage andbehind the scenes formany years now as well.

For the past severalyears, Dave and Trishahave teamed up to pro-duce and direct the Chil-dren’s Workshop produc-tions for the Sunset Play-ers. New to Sunset’s Chil-dren’sWorkshop areKimMyers, Dave’s wife andTrisha’smother, and theirson,MatthewMyers,wholives in Dlifton.

Kim has been actingas rehearsal assistant fortheworkshop,whileMattstepped in as the hand-some prince when theperson who was original-ly cast could no longerparticipate in the show.

Kimhasenjoyedworkingwith her family on theshow and relishes thetime she gets to spendwith her kids.

“I never get to seethem now that they aregrown up,” she says.

The last theater pro-duction she had workedonwas28yearsago, help-ing out with the technicaltheater side for Sunsetperformance of “God’sFavorite.”

For Dave and Trisha,the Children’s Workshophasbeenamulti-year col-laboration. Trisha firstdemonstrated an interestin live theater with Sun-set’s The Incredible Puss

in Boots. Since then, shehas directed five Sunsetshows.

When asked what ap-peals to them about theChildren’s Workshopshows, Trisha enjoys thecamaraderie of the castand crew.

“Most of the cast hasnevermet each other, butthey are instantly bestfriends,” she said.

Dave enjoys the men-toringaspect.He is excit-ed each year to teachyoung thespians aboutlive theater and loves be-ing a positive role model.Dave especially has en-joyed this year’s produc-tion.

“This experience hasbeen neat because Kimhasn’t really been inter-ested in theater before,”he said. “It has been away for us to spend timewith the whole family.”

The Children’s Work-shop Production, “SnowWhite and the SevenDwarfs of the Black For-est” is scheduled for 7p.m. Fridays Nov. 30 andDec. 7; and 2 p.m. Satur-day and Sunday, Dec. 1, 2,8 and9, at theArtsCenteratDunham,1945DunhamWay.
